#use support items

[insatiable-insanity]

I hate how Izuku thinks just because he doesn’t have a quirk, he’s useless. You could literally just use support items to replicate most people’s quirks. Wanna have eyes like Mei’s? Use goggles. Wanna be a pikachu like Kaminari? Use a taser. In fact, a taser is probably better anyways since it can actually aim. (No offense to Denki, I love him sm and he gets better 🥺🫶🏻) Want explosions like Bakugo? Make them. Dynamite (which is literally made of Nitroglyerin just like a certain someone’s sweat) literally exists. 🧨

Literally almost every quirk is replicable.

Use spring shoes to hop like Mirko. Use a jet pack to fly similar to Hawks. Jet shoes to bounce like Gran Torino. Use gas bombs to knock people out like Midnight. Use water guns full of acid to be like Mina.

To be honest, it’s only the more nature inclined quirks (Inasa Yoarashi, Shouto/Enji/Touya Todoroki, Yo Shindo, etc..) that’ll be harder to replicate. And even then I’m sure there’s a way to get close to something similar.

And the good thing is if you use support equipment this way, you can have multiple. Meanwhile everyone else is focusing solely on their quirk to the detriment of everything else, which isn’t very well-rounded.

Izuku is so smart. And he’s always adamant about how a quirk doesn’t define you. There aren’t villainous or heroic quirks, he says. (Though this may be me thinking of fanfic, I’m fairly certain he says something along these lines to Eri. 💀) Then why doesn’t he practice what he preaches?? I understand he’s literally been conditioned to see himself as useless because of those around him, but god. It’s just so sad to watch, honestly. He needs to watch some Iron Man pronto.

Takeaway; Izuku would be just as good a hero with support items instead of a flashy, dangerous quirk (no offense to OFA but it literally kills its users 💀🪦🙏🏻) and he really needs some therapy asap. He has zero sense of self-worth. 😃

Oh hey I hope you don’t mind me asking, this is purely out of curiosity but if you had to picture other duopath runs which characters would you pick and why? :)

Therion & Tressa are such a good combo I’m curious about which other traveler combinations would work well

hm thinking about which ones would be fun…. i think i can think of some that’d be fun

ship ones obvi would be funny, so alfyn/therion Primrose/Haanit, Olberic/Cyrus etc, also i think all of those combos are pretty good and can cover each other, i think Alfyn/Therion probably has the easiest time of it (due to access to steal for equipment and then concoct is just really good) and olberic/cyrus probably has the hardest time of it? i think thats purely because cyrus is frail and might take some investment to make sure he’s not dying every 2 seconds. then again, olberic as a duo is pretty good since he always has incite access. basically cyrus needs saving grace asap i think

Prim/haanit i think mayyybe more middle of the road? you do always get sealticge but its more of a whole thing with just two party members instead of 4, but haanit can hit the big damage and having dancer prim she’s probably easier to minmax damage potential on since you can lion dance her etc… if you run one of them as thief you can probably do some kind of armor corrosive lion dance setup and let haanit just hit the double digit thousands

i think one of the things that would be difficult about both haanit/prim and olberic/cyrus is definitely the lack of path action to acquire npc items, you get literally soooooo much shit out of it it’s super helpful lol.

other ones i think would be fun

Alfyn/Ophilia: healerpath run. while you won’t have to rely on item healing (like i did for the majority of duopath), i think this one would be a fun like, find your damage method one. plus, these two are the ones who usually sit back as supports (at least in their base class roles), but push when push comes to shove- sorry you guys gotta do all the hard work of killing these guys on top of the healing. also the stretch between their ch3s and ch4s would be miserable for them sorry you two

Therion/Primrose: the two traumatized ones with loner streaks, that’s right we’re putting bff bracelets on you and forcing you to work together. i think these two have a kind of kinship friendship that they don’t quite share with any of the others, so they get along quite well, even though i think i’d find it hard to stick them together permanently without the glue of the rest of the party. but as a duopath, i think they could still be pretty fun, and i want primrose to have some help stabbing those guys. gameplay wise, having therion would be a huge benefit for path action reasons, plus thief is like. imo one of the best subclasses paired with anything so i think any duopath he’s in gets some added benefit.

Olberic/Tressa: i always liked their dynamic, as the oldest member and the youngest member they might have an almost parental kind of relationship, and something abt tressa’s plucky enthusiasm and Olberics more stoic, seasoned nature is always fun to me. Tressa is another items-getter path action (though slightly less good than steal, you’ll likely rack up enough money grinding that prices are trivial) which is a help, and merchant is extremely good in duopath due to hired help being one of the best damage options for any character who might not be able to set up huge numbers. olberic however, can set up huge numbers, which means that i think this duo would be super duper set in the damage department.

ophilia/cyrus: i think this is the one i’d do if i really wanted pain, because these two have no hp and will die. this is like, the challenge mode option, because one of the things about duopath is you’re going to be taking a lot of damage on your two characters where you would have that spread across your party. so this duo would require some interesting strategizing to raise those hp stats, figure out how to tank, and then, on top of that, how to dish out the big numbers. while magic is *good* ive always found that when you’re trying to hit big on breaks, you’re better off going for brand or aeber big hits. as well, you get no items path action to work with for them. as for the dynamic, they’re both friendly and agreeable so i think there’d be not much conflict between them, but i think you could have some fun especially by the end if they start to draw the galdera connections between them…

#i have a lot of thoughts ig lol. #i thibk i was gonna duopath again id go for a playthrough of 2 just to mix it up #but tbh i’m not opposed to trying another playthrough like this of 1 bc it was really fun and challenging #also. if anyone out there is thinking of doing this. #therion i think is legit the best character to have like actually extremely useful. so maybe put him with whoever you want #if you want to jump into the deep end #honestly thinking on difficulty #maybe some combination of ophilia/cyrus/prim might be the hardest? #cyrus is more frail but hits harder #prim is super support so might have trouble damaging #and cleric as a class is mainly useful for reflect bc item healing is really good up until pretty much the end #so. some combo of the three of them would be difficult runs i think #TT duopath

Howdy there, I’m just a simple cowboy and was wondering if you have a spare second if you could explain Ko-fi to a simple fella like me

-🐮

Heyo! Ko-fi is a platform for receiving tips / donations! But some ppl also use it for other purposes like accepting commissions or selling digital goods :)

#asks #anon #it's basically like a tip jar :) #tho for me I mostly use it for commissions! #i've also been trying to sell some digital wallpapers there thru ko-fi memberships lately #hoping I could make a monthly income off of it since i'm fully relying on my own art now that I don't have a job ;_; #anyways! if you're confused abt the membership thingy - it's just a way for you to access the member-only items in my shop :) #you can choose to join & support monthly #but if you can't that's alright! you can join for the first month then download the member-only items & cancel after that #im guessing that's where your question is coming from but anyways! I hope I was able to help!!

I have been watching My Hero Academia with my niece and I, of course, had to make it about Hermitcraft.

I just couldn't help but think that the Bakugou character's ability would be perfect for Grian, who does love his explosions. I can't stop imagining him in a red and black version of the kid's outfit.

#grian #hermitcraft #i have not really thought of a 'quirk' for anyone else #except that i think scar would be quirkless and use support items

The more little creative hobbies I pick up the more my husband asks for certain things and I really like that

#like I mean things that kinda connect us #like his interests with my hobby #I mess around with resin cashing and stuff #and he showed me a halo thing and I was figuring out #what items I needed to make it for him #unfortunately the model she had was 3D printed #but I’ll try my best! #and I am practicing glass painting #keychain and ornament making too! #so I wanna make him an ornament he’ll like #n e way he is so supportive of me I love him

thoughts about the new rey movie and people’s reactions to the announcement

i was gonna reblog a post about this and just slide my opinion in the tags but it’s getting to be an essay so i think it warrants its own post

i’m not trying to attack anybody with this but this has been rampant since the announcement and i have thoughts:

i understand and share in the opinion that ben solo is a wasted character and that he (and TROS and the sequel trilogy in general) was severely mishandled, and i would not be sorry to see more of him. adam was one of the best things about this new trilogy. i was hardly a star wars fan until the day i went to see TFA on opening day. that experience was something i’ll never forget and i fell in love with kylo/ben and rey from the second they both appeared on screen during their respective intros. without them i don’t think i would enjoy SW the way i do now.

i’m so happy for daisy to have this new opportunity to continue rey’s story. She deserves it.

And before you chime in--yes, Ben deserves for his story to be continued, too. No one’s ever really gone, and all that. if he comes back i will be screaming on the way to the theaters with the rest of you.

but i have seen so many people state outright since the announcement that they refuse to watch the movie if ben isn’t coming back.

i understand that sentiment, i do--none of us want to get burned again TROS-style. we want to see the dyad together and alive and happy. we want lucasfilms to get a friggin grip and just--DO BETTER.

and remember, this is my opinion, but it rubs me the wrong way when people say they won’t watch the movie without ben (and i’ve seen it said over and over and over both here and on instagram) because it’s sort of implying that rey has no value without ben, like she is not interesting enough on her own.

now i don’t actually believe that’s what people mean when they say that (at least, not everybody) but that’s the feeling i get from it. i love rey and ben equally and so i’ll take any new content with them in it, even if they aren’t together. will it hurt? will it be bittersweet? yeah. but imagine if the new rey movie gets a really low turnout and then disney execs look at the numbers and go ‘hmm--let’s not do that again’ and then a new possible trilogy is cancelled or any chance we get of maybe a dyad reunion is also gone. bc we all know the mouse listens to money above all.

i love rey. i think she’s a great character who has just as much potential as ben and i can’t wait to see what she can do in a film where she’s top billing (until they throw in a mark hamill cameo because we all know he’ll be in it to some degree) but my point still stands. and daisy is a great actress who brought such depth to rey that i’m so excited to see her return and i can’t wait to see her as rey again.

do i still have a tiny bit of hope that it will be better this time and that ben will return? yes. i’m not gonna lie about it. this clown makeup is tattooed on. but it’s a cautious hope and i’m trying not to feed too much into it, because the reality is that it’s rey who’s back and i love her so i’m going to support her because i think she’s interesting and compelling on her own, just as she was in TFA before she ever met Kylo/Ben.

#star wars #leigh speaks #will i regret posting this? tune in to find out #reylo #rey nobody #ben solo #and i don't want to sound like a corporate shill for the mouse begging people to get their butts into seats #i just mean we gotta support our favorite characters/actors #so maybe lucasfilms/disney can see how much we love them and then they might make more content for them #they already failed us once #it makes me sad but i'm accepting that we might never see rey and ben together in any new content #i know there's adam stans who care mostly about him and you know what that's fine i'm mostly talking to reylos who love both of the #rey skywalker #also it's 2:26 am and i could have made this longer but i'm tired and should be asleep #but i've seen enough posts about this topic that i finally got annoyed enough to type the gist of it out #however it lands i hope lucasfilms/disney sees how badly the mishandled the dyad #from the merch to the marketing etc. #we all know they like to pretend the dyad never happened unless they're forced to #we've got a million and one t shirts of the motherfucking i love you i know quotes but not a single #item that i've seen featuring ben and rey together #except that loungefly bag that had them in chibi style #which isn't really my bag BUT it sold out fast and people LOVED IT #and disney still turns a blind eye #they just don't care and that's why i tell myself dyad reunion isn't gonna happen #anyway please discuss i will check in on this post in the morning but i need to sleep

some shits going down on flight rising again and its become a debate between ppl who havent broken a rule going "lol dont you rule breakers know youre on borrowed time? shouldnt you chill out and accept your doom?" and the ppl who Have broken the rule going "wow now heres another thing i cant do so i can keep flying under the radar and extend my borrowed time. staff is so rude tho" and theyre both like. wrong.

#speaking #ppl usually get caught for multiaccounting for like. sending support tickets with the wrong email #or stuff like that #and theres no like. rule against how long ago it had to happen #you could have had an account you used three times in 2016 and get caught in 2024 and still get your account frozen #but someonge got their account closed bc they won a Big Item and they wanted to check for multiaccount cheating (fair) #but still. like. #ppl who have broken the rule are very upset abt another reason they could get caught #and ppl who Havent broken it are being tbh kind of dismissive of it. #like just bc they Are on borrowed time doesnt make it suck less ya know. and theres Literally nothing to be done #you either stop playing entirely or you just. keep running the clock. thats It. #bc you cant Ask for the old account to be closed or theyll close them both

The audiobook situation in general makes me livid. Like I said in those tags, I'm lucky because the library I work for has a relatively solid funding stream, so I can at least get a fair few of the things I want to read in audio format.

This is vital because I process books well aurally, and being able to listen to them while doing another task somewhat curbs my focus issues and helps me do both things. If I cannot get a book in audio format (or a format that I can apply TTS to, which itself is a huge pain to do and requires removal of DRM), I usually just don't read it.

Now, audiobooks are already expensive. To an extent they have to be because both the author and the voice actor need to get paid. That's understandable, really.

But then you have the hellish intersection of Audible's semi-closed ~exclusive~ ecosystem and publishers charging libraries heavily inflated prices for limited-length rights. This means that your selection, as someone who prefers or straight up needs audiobooks, is always going to be a lot more limited if you're trying to go through legal channels. I'm not even someone who has severe vision issues, just someone with focus and sometimes neurological issues that make reading print/ebooks harder than it should be. I can do it if I REALLY want to. I can only imagine what it's like if you can't read without audio.

I work in the cataloguing department, and when anyone points out to the person ordering that our digital audiobook selection is limited and there are holes in the collection, she's like- but audiobooks are expensive! And for libraries, they really, really, really are.

(When we can get a title at all. Because those Audible titles are harder to get, and because publishers can also make us wait until well after the digital title's release date to purchase a copy at all, even if we have the money and want to.)

#so like honestly #it's nice to support your libraries if you can because we get funding based on your usage of our items #but do whatever you want forever because the mainstream publication industry does NOT deserve anything from you #if you have Ways and Means you should not feel bad about using them #nightmare diary

thinking. about the things I love the most about sonic. and how those have all been almost absent since unleashed. and how obvious it is that sonic team has been fucking terrified of doing anything interesting with their games since. and just. god. god. please, please let sonic frontiers be good. please let it be what I want from this series. please let it be successful. please let it push sonic team to push sonic again. I love these games so much. I want them to be good so badly.

#I love the scale I love the over the top plots and giant eldritch bosses and the gods and aliens and the grandiose adventures #I love the characters I love playing as different characters I love seeing them all interact #I love exploring every nook and cranny of the levels I love finding hidden one ups and special stages and items #I love sonic the hedgehog so much. I want it to feel heartfelt the way it used to #colours and generations and lost world are all so bland. boom tried to be a reboot but it nuked the characters #(nevermind the games barely releasing given the development hell the team went through) #forces was a step in the right direction with its massive cast and massive plot and the villain team #but it fell short in so many ways #banking on nostalgia w ghz and chemical plant and classic sonics whole existence #weak level design and control carried over from colours #the plot falling short - shadow is never fought. chaos is never fought. infinite is kind of boring then dies. zavok is here #none of the supporting cast do anything but talk at you. tails gets his entire sa1 and 2 arc just undone #it could have been good. yknow? it could have been so much MORE. but it's not #the animation is stiff. the cutscenes look bad. everything about the climax of the game. no pre rendered cutscenes. #I need frontiers to be good. I need it to be good and I need it to have a soul. I need it to say something. #I need it to have a reason to exist. #just. god. I watched the kingk 06 video that just dropped. it got me thinking #please be good frontiers please please please be good #espeon cries

I just got Shinon for the first time in this file. 🤣

#DCB RD Run #the story behind this is that I played PoR for a friend on stream but the Wii stopped working #it's not dead but it has a hardware problem that I have yet to determine. however I had a backup Wii #so I tried that. unfortunately it ALSO decided to have a problem and wouldn't risk discs anymore #this meant I couldn't play RD on console and had to use an emulator instead #meaning I couldn't carry the data over from my latest PoR file if I had to use an emulator to play RD for said friend #so I decided I'd do a bit of a cheat run where I just flew through PoR on an emulator #levelling people up quicker and just going through it chapter by chapter to retain the supports I had #this was the US version on emulator... and the cheats randomly stopped working correctly around chapter ten #at this point I was very fed up and I knew the EU version on emulator did keep my cheats and everything was fine there #so I decided after all the technical trouble that I was going to aggressively promote every. single. unit. in PoR. with infinite BEXP #and I was going to get them ALL to level 20 so they would ALL get stat bonuses carried over #I was originally just leaving the natural stats - what ppl got from the natural level ups is what I'd carry over #after all that I was like I deserve this it's been hell working this out. but then I had an additional idea #I decided that since I found a code for infinite usage of items that I'd bump up anyone who was #a point or two off from a stat cap for all stats like that so I did that. but THEEEEN I thought of ANOTHER thing #I was like... you know WHAT. after all this? I deserve one more thing #I stat capped ALL of Shinon and Oscar's stats knowing full well they are my absolute best MONSTERS in RD /anyway/ #I used other cheats to get through the game very very very speedily to hurry to just get the cheat file done with #but toward the end I finally snapped and handed out stat boosters to those two until they were demons LOL #and uhhh... yeah Shinon took it pretty fucking well!!!

there are things abt me that i dont talk about not because im being secretive i either just forget to mention it or think no one wants to hear about it but i think it gives like important context to whats wrong with me 💖

#me when im a child of a messy divorce because my dad has crazy issues that he never got help for so he started self medicating #and dealt with addiction and got to the point of stealing money or trying to return items he never bought to walmart for a refund #and got arrested many times and eventually spent 5 years in prison which literally didnt help at all just gave him more trauma and #caused relationship issues between him and his family which left him without healthy connections and support and #then he got accused of a crime even my mom doesnt believe he did and she'd experienced horrible things from him while they were together #and so he disappeared to run from the police and hes been legally considered a missing person for many years now and it is unknown to #us or any of his family members if hes even still alive out there somewhere and ive had dreams that he comes back and #i wonder if theres something that could be done something that could help him maybe we could never truly be on good terms again but #maybe at least he could have a chance at a decent life even if its away from us #i used to sit on the couch with him and watch nascar and monster trucks when i was little #and i still have some of his nascar novelty items in my desk drawer and the pocket tool that used to be his. #the scars of his tantrums are still in our house the holes he punches in walls covered up with copy paper taped over the wall #and im sure i have the same anger issues or whatever disorders he never got properly diagnosed for because i seem to have inherited everyth #ng from him his eyes his face his hair his anger issues even his handwriting somehow #and he is why im scared of ever doing any drugs because i just know im probably genetically predisposed to addiction just like him #and i dont want that to happen to me #recently i cut my hair and i looked in the mirror and i looked just like him #when i visit my paternal grandparents and aunts and uncles i see the family photos with him hanging on the walls #and i see that large painting that used to be in our house #👍
