More British words because I thought words like carboot and bin lorry was normal:

Chuffed: This is when we're really happy- like 2am-singing-karaoke-happy. Odd I know!

Brolly: Umbrella. Yeah this one's a bit odd as well. I've never used it personally but some of my family always say "chuck us the brolly" or something along those lines.

Crisps: Potato chips. American's PLEASE don't kill me I want to live

Bucketin' down: A term used to describe heavy rain!

Gutted: Extremely disappointed. I often use this- very loudly, might I add- to the annoyance of my family

Bonnet: Hood of a car. I find this REALLY strange and have never used it myself.

So there's some British words! I hope you enjoyed them!🙂

REMINDS ME, another thing that was wild to me was how "chippy" gets applied to way more than just places that sell fries

I went thinking I understood everything, like, "Ok. Chips = Fries. Crisps = Potato Chips. Got it." But then partner would say, "wanna go to a chippy"

Me in my head: (wow you really like fries dont ya)

But apparently the truth is... that's just what they were calling a small restaurant you don't sit down at. Like a takeout place. A chippy can sell chinese food. A chippy can sell fries and hot dogs.

This took me an embarassingly long time to realize. I really just thought partner wanted fries constantly. I was beginning to believe there were special, hidden fry places that I just wasn't noticing.

I also found out that "spanner" is unironically a light insult but considering the fact I thought they were a Fanatical Fry Fiend for at least a week I probably deserved it. I WAS being a proper spanner.

#We did get loaded fries at some point tho #And they were good fries #Cheesy and delicious with some gravy #Bone babble #To be fair to me though I was kinda thinking of the specialty meatball places that pop up here #My area actually has several meatball specialty places. They just sell fancy meatballs #That's the entire menu #Different kinds of meatballs with different meats. Fishballs. Venisonballs. Wagyuballs. #So like. You could write a book on what I don't know #Maybe England just has an obsession with turning different vegetables into fries. I thought. Like a fool. #Nope. I live in a place with a very special kind of meatball-induced brainrot. #And chippy simply did not mean what I thought it meant #Oh to be in the alternate reality where I went to The Chippery and got to sample different types of vegetable fries #Mmmm #And fancy sauces #Also I did enjoy thank u #The only one partner wasn't familiar with was Bucketin Down. Probably because their preferred term is Pissin #Pissin Down

jo members ranked by how well i think they would use chopsticks, if they were at my house and eating with my family

5. jure 😞 i think he'd try!! but he doesn't have the delicate hand necessarily </3 he'd use them and end up getting so little food to his mouth and making a mess .. we'd probably end up offering him a spoon and fork 😭 but 10/10 for effort!! also he would sooo stick them upright into his rice my grandmother would be offended 😭

4. bojan. he's a cultured boy!!! he's seen chopsticks before!!! but probably only used them at like western style asian buffets </3 he'd value efficiency over method and use them as skewers for everything rather than picking stuff up 😭 but hey it works .. his hold is probably slightly wonky. if he became a frequent guest i'd tell him to invest in these :

3. nace gives foreign cuisine enjoyer to me .. he probably does eat with chopsticks when the oppurtunity arises. like average, decent ability. maybe drops things every now and then but like near to his bowl so it doesn't matter. versatile, picks things up and stabs if necessary

2. kris (not just because i like to the think the best of my gf). he's a quarter asian, probably a decent chopstick maneuverer, can pick up a fishball without just stabbing a chopstick into it like a stake into a vampire (they're slippery mfs). he still needs a spoon for rice though

1) jan. i think he's only one here who wouldn't "cross arms" with people while reaching across the table to get something (etiquette). can probably 爬飯 (shovel rice into ones mouth w chopsticks) like a mf, not a grain on the table (i'm really bad at that 😭). imo he has the delicacy and tact needed... he probably doesn't use them often but he's gifted.

#SOMEONES procrastinating #i made this post for me but im still tagging it #joker out #vee rambles #i'd place myself somewhere between kris and nace #anyways back to 🤢 remains by armitage #im sorry no my second favourite out of all of these </3

Let's talk about Eddy and empathy

Okay, so. Hand-me-down Ed.

Lotta people talk about this episode. Lotta them have the take that the boomerang unleashed Eddy's repressed nurturing side. This is a very valid interpretation when you consider the abuse Eddy has endured and all the reasons he has to repress any nurture-type feelings. But here is the thing that I think. Or don't think. I don't think Eddy represses a secret nurturing side. I think it got repressed by outside forces when he was young and squishy and moldable, and now there's not really a whole lot of nurturing in there left for him to repress himself. I truly believe the intent of the episode was to show the Eds being the opposite of who they truly are. And Eddy, truly, in my opinion, is an incredibly traumatized kid with some really unfortunate learned behaviors and underdeveloped empathy muscles that just aren't gonna fully recover.

There are two episodes I wanna talk about to back up my claim.

Ah, Dueling Eds. Who doesn't like Dueling Eds? I certainly consider it one of my favorite episodes. It's a surprisingly serious episode with a genuine look at how Eddy navigates the consequences of hurting someone. That long silence in the van with Double D? His continuing insistence that he didn't do anything? Continually asking throughout the whole episode what the hell is even going on? Mwah. Chef's kiss. I've seen a few different theories for what's going on with Eddy in this episode, but I've always felt that he genuinely has no idea what he did, why everyone's acting the way they are, and is incredibly fucking frustrated by how little sense the whole situation is makes. He knows it has to do with the fishball; he even brings it up himself when he's talking about the incident with Double D later. But he doesn't understand why that was wrong. He doesn't get how something so inconsequential in his own mind could be so hurtful to Rolf, and he is either incapable of, or refuses to acknowledge, that just because it wasn't a big deal to him, doesn't mean it can't be a big deal to someone else. (We call this ~theory of mind~ btw and it's a big component of empathy.)

Another favorite of mine, Little Ed Blue. I've talked about this scene before because I love it for a lot of reasons, and one of those reasons is the insight we get into how Eddy's emotions have probably been addressed by those around him in the past. I mean, jeez, this is Ed! He's one of Eddy's most important people! A true and dear friend he's had since he was a toddler and one of the few people in the world who outwardly likes him and gets along with him. And what does he do when Ed's having a bad day? Calls him a wuss, laughs at him, invalidates his feelings, and tells him to get over himself. This is some grade fucking A asshole behavior, even for Eddy. And yet he does it easily without a shred of guilt, convinced this is the correct way to address a friend who's in the throes of misery. I mean, just look at this face.

Has Ed ever made a face like that? His feelings got fucking hurt man. (also, as a sibling, I can say that this is categorically the most Sibling moment between Eddy and Ed in the entire show.)

IMO, someone with a repressed nurturing side wouldn't be that baffled by how Rolf is reacting or be that cruel to their own best friend. This looks more like someone who genuinely has a low amount of empathy. So what's actually going on? Do I think Eddy is just some cold, uncaring asshole? Of course not! He's a traumatized 12 year old kid who's endured intense physical abuse. Cruelty was normalized for Eddy at a very young age. Why should Rolf be so upset about a fishball? It's not like Eddy beat him or something. And what's Ed got to be so miserable about? Men shouldn't act like wusses. Men are supposed to just get over it. And how could Eddy be wrong for thinking these things? It's what he was taught, after all. He learned these behaviors from his hero, after all. This is all he knows. This is what makes sense to him. It's Rolf and Ed who are being ridiculous.

That kind of stunted growth to someone's empathy isn't something so easily fixed. This is why I don't headcanon or write a more grown up Eddy as someone who learns he doesn't have to repress his nurturing side anymore; I see him as someone who's learned that nurturing and empathy are part of the whole "having friends" deal. He's learned that nurturing and empathy are what's considered normal, learned that it's what's expected of any decent human being, man or not. He's also learned, a la BPS, that you have to be a good friend to have good friends. It doesn't come naturally to him. It's gonna take a lot of hard work and growth on his part. But even if Eddy doesn't always understand why he needs to be gentler, needs to just listen, needs to offer a shoulder to cry on, that doesn't mean he won't do it for the sake of his friends. Because even if empathy ain't his strong suit, even if being empathetic is hard fucking work, he still genuinely and wholeheartedly cares about his friends and cares about doing right by them.

When they take you out for street food~!

— ❝ So, what would you like? Everything's on me. ❞

— Genshin Men x Gn!Reader (Modern!Highschool!AU)

— characters: Kazuha, Diluc, Childe, Thoma,

— Synopsis. Genshin boys take you out for street food (specifically well-known street foods in my country ifykyk) after a long day of school.

— Disclaimer. the place the hcs are happening are in the Philippines (ik a huge percentage of y'all are not Filipino but I included all the meanings), NOT PROOFREAD!!

— author's notes: please... I can't finish my other 3 drafts for the life of me. like, the themes I'm writing are so plain and overused imo

𖥻 — Kaedehara Kazuha ࣪˖ !¡

You didn't knew it at first glance, but Kazuha is very fond of street foods.

"You should really try this out, it's one of my favorites," Kazuha said as he raises a piece of fishball near your mouth.

He watches the way your face lightens up from the foreign taste as he flashes a quick smile.

When you can't choose what you'd like to taste, he helps you out and explains each and everyone...but since he's also into literature, he adds a bit of a twist.

"This is isaw, it's a well-known street food that is basically made up of chicken intestines. I know it's not the dish non-locals would exactly become fond of considering its main course, but it goes good with some sweet sauce." Kazuha explains as he buys one from the vendor.

You said you'd be glad to try it and for Kazuha, this made him crack up a little smile. As you take a bite of the dish, Kazuha adds in a little more 'trivia'.

"You know, I'd like to think of this as a dish that you can't finish on your own".

"And why is that?" you respond.

"Because, the way they cook it is in one long part of the chicken's intestine, that has two ends. And this other end right here—" he points to the end that's riding up the stick as you munch in.

"This other end is for me of course."

He removes it from the stick and was now facing you closely as the chicken intestine was connected to your end. He perks up your chin and goes in to give you a quick peck on the lips.

You eventually scoff, as you eat the remaining food all while displaying a red tint on your cheeks.

This man can be bold and WILL be bold when you least expect it. And in the realm of holy street foods, he can easily catch you off-guard. (He definitely read this from a romance novel and decided to recreate it with you)

But nevertheless, he enjoys your flustered and confused face (a confused face of whether or not you should feel happy for the food or flushed by his sudden flirtiness) as you continue enjoying the food he bought for you.

𖥻 — Diluc Ragnvindr ࣪˖ !¡

His favorite street food would be strawberry taho (reminds me of his hair) Strawberry Taho is a famous delicacy in Baguio City. It's a soybean curd with strawberry sauce/syrup and sometimes added with little boba balls.

The man would spoil you LOTS. Aside from the group of fangirls that'll surround you guys every time you and he get out of school, he treats you to street food whenever you crave it, or when exams have just finished and you're drained from thinking.

"Here, take a bite of this strawberry taho", Diluc breaks the silence as he feeds you a spoonful of the soya-bean curd.

You flinch at the sudden voice of Diluc as your mouth was filled with the taste of sweet strawberry and softened soya beans. Diluc swore that your eyes glistened by the taste for a second as he pats your hair that revealed your sunkissed face.

"Don't think of it as much, I just thought you needed to take a break from spacing out." Diluc retorts as he nudged your head with his index finger. You tried doing it to him back but failed to realize each other's height difference.

Diluc does not have a big appetite even though the portions of street food are quite small. He can't finish it all by himself. So whenever he's got leftover street food, he gives it to you. Sometimes, he'd feed it to you and you like the latter very much as you can sometimes sneak in a kiss on his cheek.

But whenever YOU can't finish your food, you always feed it to Diluc knowing that he's the type to be easily full. I can say that Diluc suffers more from this than him feeding you. As you find it entertaining whenever he's about to bite in on your leftover food, you quickly retract it away from him. You can see his serious and grim expression but in the end, he's got his arm wrapped around your waist; not wanting to let you go. (The man enjoys your little teasing, even though he doesn't wanna admit it)

𖥻 — Childe/Tartaglia ࣪˖ !¡

He'd probably order chicken waffles AKA Kwek-kwek(Tokneneng). It is a popular Filipino street food, kwek-kwek are hard-boiled quail eggs dipped in a bright orange batter, then deep-fried.

This guy is the definition of conyo. Conyo is someone (mostly boys) that mixes the english and filipino language to their way of speaking. Most people think that these type of people are snobby and spoiled.

The vendor probably won't understand him clearly since the vendor isn't fluent in english.

You don't feel embarrassed (since you're used to it) but to not give Childe menacing stares, you teach him the right terms in the native language as well as the right honorific to use.

Of course, he'll spoil the hell out of you.

Ajax (unlike Kazuha) is a cheesy version of a romantic partner. If Kazuha can flatter you, this guy can make you wish he wasn't with you.

"Hey (Name), I think this may be cheesy but I think we'd make a grate pair."

At times like these, you just try your best to get through it by either:

A. stuffing his mouth up with food to shut him up

B. deeply cringing inside, hoping that no one else heard that but you

𖥻 — 𝚃𝚑𝚘𝚖𝚊 ࣪˖ !¡

The vendor himself.

Mans would probably give you what you wanna eat without a single price tag.

People would literally swoon over the vendor himself feeding his customer (AKA you)

But who can complain? it is Thoma afterall.

"Would you like some sweet sauce with that?" Thoma asks you, resting his arm on the steel counter as he looks at you with a smile creeping up to his cheeks.

He knew that you were messing with his part-time job and he just couldn't contain your "cluelessness" as if he doesn't come into your arms for a tight hug after a long day.

"I'd like it if you were gonna kiss me instead, then it'd be more sweeter." You tell yourself but you know that you could never surpass Thoma's pair of ears.

"Ah...(Name), I-I mean right now? Don't you think it's u-uhm."

You look at him with a smirk gliding across your satisfied face with the warm sensation of the stir-fried noodles he made you.

Thoma looks at you begrudgingly before tearing away from your gaze as he went to serve for the other customers in line behind you.

But in the sweeping gales of the wind, you found your lips connected to Thomas' with his hands gently cupping your jaw. "Wait for me after my shift, I can't have you being lost when you're commuting, no?"

A (Hopefully) Helpful Guide to What in "Hell" is Bad?

Part 4 - Unit Types, Elements, Battle Boards & Battle Tips

Last Updated: Oct 31, 2023

I have a mild love of documentation (okay, it’s a problem) and I find it fun— so here we go! I’ve hopefully written out most of the options you’ll encounter while playing, as I know it’s been a confusing start with the game coming out in the state that it did.

And let’s be real here, most gacha-style games can feel overwhelming at first, especially if you’re new to them overall. It happens, and with all the questions I’ve seen floating about, I wanted to maybe help someone out, as well as have some fun. Or this’ll flop, either way, still fun.

There will absolutely be things I’ve missed, or glossed over— or even gotten wrong— so feel free to ask about anything, tell me things, or correct me.

For full transparency— I have spent money on this game, but I have not “whaled” whatsoever. I wanted to test certain things, and I have a strong sense of curiousity.

Looking for another part of the game? Check out the other parts:

Part 1 - General Overview, Achievements and Contracts

Part 2 - My Devils, Levelling, Skills and Artifacts

Part 3 - Chapters, Levels and Dark Sanctuary

Part 4 - You Are Here!

Part 5 - Shop, Secret Shop, Inventory and Management

Part 6 - Secret Club (Adore), Secret Club (Unholy Board), Hell-Oh! Talk

Now, let's keep going!

Battle - Unit Types

We talked about it before when looking at the "My Devil" screen (very briefly), but each devil has it's own style of fighting and element applicable to it.

For all units, always look at their normal attacks and ultimates (passives as well if applicable) before levelling them or putting them on the field. You’d be surprised what some of them can do.

Types of Units

Defense

Devils: Mammon (Selfie) (L), Bimet (S), Valefor (A+), Eligos (A+), Undertaker (A), Caine (A), John Cena (B), Booker T (B), Rob Van Dam (B),

These units are the bulky boys of the game-- the best example being Mammon (Selfie).

These units are intended for longevity on the battlefield, being bulkier than other units with their health

They also stop multiple enemies-- typically 3 at once, whereas other units can usually only stop one

They have a small range-- usually 3x3

Keep an eye on their health— bulk doesn’t mean invulnerable, especially if you’re fighting stronger enemies

Close-Range

Devils: Beelzebub (Selfie) (L), Naberius (S), Amon (S), Bael (S), Dantalian (S), Stolas (A+), Gusion (A+), Bathin (A+), Phenix (A+), Renové (A+), Toto (A), Max (A), Bella (A), Leo (A), Molly (A), Gaejuki (A), Harumon (A), Bob Marley (B), Lucy (B), Bailey (B), Urupapa (B),

These are DPS devils, attack-based units that require the enemy to be up close and personal.

Depending on the devil, can be a little squishy, so it's best to let them hide behind defense devils, or to the side, if you're a little under leveled

Small range, usually 3x3 but can be a little larger

Usually these can only stop 1 enemy at a time

Marksman

Devils: Leviathan (Selfie) (L), Leviathan (Bath) (L), Satan (Selfie) (L), Minhyeok (S), Paimon (S), Sitri (S), Leraye (S), Belial (S), Foras (S), Zagan (A+), Ppyong (A+), Astaroth (A+), Barbatos (A+), Glasyalabolas (A+), Ppang (A), Ppam (A), Ppungppung (A), Ppolppol (A), Ppyongppyong (A), Red Ragnarok (B), Nightslave (B), Fishball (B), Darkness Weapon (B), Oni (B)

The long-range units! These boys will pick away at the enemies from a distance. Very squishy— keep them safe.

Their range varies more widely than the other types in the game, but are always good to have in the back or to the side of a lineup

Some like Belial and Leraye have very long ranges, while some like the Leviathans are a bit shorter— make sure to look at their respective ranges when you’re selecting them for the field!

I said it above, but keep them out of harms way, as they can be taken out with relative ease— especially if they’re under leveled

Healer

Devils: Marbas (S), Morax (A+), Buer (A+)

These are the boys’ who’ll help keep you alive— but there’s certain ways to use them to make them actually valuable. There’s limitations to what they can do, and often damage can outweigh the minimal health they give without finding ways to utilize them.

As you can see, there aren’t many healers in the game at all yet, and they vary pretty widely in what they can do

In many cases, you probably won’t use your healers… the numbers they give back to you are quite minimal compared to the damage enemies do— but they’re not entirely useless

If you’re pacing the enemies and allowing your healers time to do their work, they can be pretty beneficial

Be sure to look at their range of attacks, too— and keep in mind that Marbas cannot attack at all! (In exchange though he constantly heals in a small area that moves with him, and his ult that releases it charges very quickly and you need only use it once)

Battle - Elements

I’ll be very honest here— I don’t pay that much mind to these, and usually battles go pretty smoothly. That said, my team is mostly the Light element, so that might have something to do with it.

But, here we go! Good old fashioned strengths and weaknesses— think Pokémon, but incredibly simplified.

Each element has a weakness and a strength— pitting a weaker element against the stronger means your devils are gonna be in for a time.

What are the elements in WHB?

The available elements currently are: Fire, Water, Grass, Light & Dark(?)

There are currently no units available for “Dark” so I can’t double check— I’ll update that when I can or if someone can let me know what it’s meant to be called. Regardless of it’s name, we can still take a look at what it does!

It’s pretty basic—

Water is strong against Fire

Fire is strong against Grass

Grass is strong against Water

The edge cases are Light and “Dark”— as they are strong against one another, and neutral against the other elements.

I’d love to say if you’re having a hard time in a level just try changing your elemental lineup, but in the early game that can be difficult. Eventually level 20s will be too squishy to survive or deal enough damage to be useful, and promoting them is costly. That said— you can get through a good chunk of the game with all level 20s with one level 40.

Battle - Battle Boards

There is a wide array of gridded “boards” that your battles will take place on— all with their own limitations and paths, so I won’t cover every variation here. However these can be divided into three overall “categories.”

Story Battles

Story Boss Monster Battles

Dark Sanctuary Battles

They all have similarities, though, so lets go over the basics. When you enter a battle, you’ll be shown the map layout and a list of your devils along the left side— you can select six of these devils to go to war for you. You can choose to only see certain rarities or just supports during your selection, but there’s no other ways to sort them— so you’ll need to scroll through each time.

Note: To see your stats like I am in the screenshot above, just press and hold on the devil you want to see the details of!

What can you view right off the bat?

Stage Number - The name/number of the stage you’re currently on (4-50, indicating I’m in Chapter 4 Level 50)

Angel Wing Icon - How many angels you’re dealing with in this stage. Each level will vary (39 in this case)

Heart Icon - That’s that big red heart’s on the left’s health — that indicates you! If three angels touch this, you lose

Paw Print Icon - This indicates how many times you may move your devils once the level has begun — you don’t need to worry about it during the setup phase seen above, but keep an eye on it once the battle starts and you begin to move around as needed!

x1 / x2 Icon - Your current battle speed— angels move slow, and on levels your confident speeding them up is definitely nice. Just tap it to do so. Tap it again to return to x1, if you’re feeling overwhelmed

Pause Icon - Pause the level!

Door Icon - Leave the level

Devil Select List - A list of all your devils (press and hold to see details), drag and drop up to six of them to fight for you! You can only narrow down by rarity and support, so you’ll need to scroll each time

Let’s Roll Button - Start the level! You’ll be warned if your devil count is below six, but you can still start if you want to

Okay, wait, huh? What do I do?

Basically, you’re going to drag and drop six of your devils onto the grid— sometimes, a square may not be allowed, and it won’t let you, so you’ll need to select another one (this can be frustrating).

If you’ve beaten the level once, it’ll remember your team for the next time.

As you drag your devils onto the board, you’ll be shown their range of attack— keep that in mind! Place your units carefully to support one another, and keeping your squishy units out of harm’s way.

If you change your mind about a devil, drag them down to the blue area in the lower right, and it will take them off.

Okay, good to know. What should I expect from these maps?

That depends on what board you’re on, and differs per level. Let’s delve into those three board “types” I mentioned earlier.

Story Battles

These are the battles you’ll be undertaking between actual story. The maps vary widely, but tend to be the same for at least a few in a row before changing again.

Keep an eye on where the spawn points are— remember, enemies come in waves, and not all at once

Boss Monster Battles

Note: The bosses can obscure spawn points for small enemies! Be aware that what you see may not be all of it and don’t be surprised if suddenly an enemy comes out from under or beside it.

Welcome to the big boys— these stages have large enemies just like the Dark Sanctuary, with big AOE or wide-scale attacks (usually). Alongside them will be normal enemies, but in exchange for the big-bad, you won’t have to deal with the hoards you usually see in the regular levels.

Dark Sanctuary Battles

Note: Just like Boss Monsters— these guys can obscure spawn points. Be mindful! Actually, they can be worse for it (I mean look at that tentacled behemoth)!

These are very similar to Boss Monster Stages— but this is all that Dark Sanctuary is. At lower levels it will just be the boss monster, but as you go up in difficulty it will add in the normal enemies as well— be careful!

What happens if I lose? Or if I want to quit?

Nothing! As of right now, there’s no real repercussions. If you lose or quit a level, you don’t even lose AP— so try all you like.

What about enemies? Anything to say about them?

I’m not going to breakdown each individual enemy (unless you guys want me to, in which I can create a new part, I guess), but here’s a few things to keep in mind.

Each enemy model has three variations: white, red and black, and the colours represent (I believe anyway) the difficulty of the creature

Each enemy has a range! Some, like the slime-like-blobs, need to be right on your devil to do damage, but many have a further range and they can be difficult to deal with (especially with the moving devils glitch that’s currently in the game)

They tend to come out in batches of certain enemy types — i.e. if you see one slime, chances are there’s another one or two behind it (or more), before the enemy type will switch again from that spawn point (it’s not a set in stone rule, though!)

Enemies spawn spaced out from one another, usually when the one on the field is 3-4 squares away from the spawn point, but this varies

Enemies have elements, too— hence the triangle of weaknesses we talked about earlier

Battle - Ultimates, Tips & Tricks

Let’s start at square one - Ultimates

Each devil has an ultimate move that takes time to be able to use— it will build through the battle beside their icon at the bottom—the purple bar beside their health— and the icon will glow when they’re fully charged up.

When you want to use them, tap their icon— this will slow time for you so you can aim— and you can see a crown above their icon along with a magnifying glass. The magnifying glass will explain what their ultimate will do if you don’t already know— but to use their ult you tap and hold on the crown, then drag it onto the battlefield to see its range of effect. Let go to use it!

The enemies in range will be brighter than those out of range. Once you’ve let go, you’ll see a little animation and hear a voice line before the ultimate hits the field!

Note: Don’t actually use Leviathan’s ult on a single enemy if you can help it— stun it, build them up by keeping a distance. He’s got such a wide range you may as well take out as many as you can.

You can cancel using your ultimate by dragging it down to the blue area in the bottom right!

Battle - Tips & Tricks

Okay, here’s a couple things I’ve found help, or that I tend to use while I’m playing— hopefully they help! Some are probably obvious, but you never know.

Don’t stress about ‘Required Levels’ that the stages tell you— often you can with with lower levelled units despite the recommendation, play around with placement and see what happens

Don’t spam your ultimates as soon as you get them! Especially with units that stun (Belial and Mammon for example)— it can be pivotal in a harder fight to give yourself a moment to breathe

I actually can’t recommend stunning enemies enough, it helps so much with grouping up enemies and giving your units time to recover health if you want to go that route

Try to aim to hit as many enemies as possible per ultimate (if applicable) — I usually aim to have 3 or 4 enemies within range at least before using ultimates such as Leviathan’s (stun is also good for this, keeping them grouped up)

If you want to bring a healer, I recommend Marbas or Morax over Buer— but honestly bring who you like— but keep in mind you NEED to give your devils space between enemies for them to be helpful at all— healers are SLOW at healing, and give MINIMAL health back so if you’re swarmed with enemies, they just can’t keep up

I actually use Marbas, despite that he can’t attack. I rotate who’s in his AoE and move him as needed flipping who’s under fire and allowing the others to recover with his constant healing

Crowd control ultimates are beyond helpful— getting rid of large amounts at once can save your battle if you’re in a tougher level

Don’t be right on a spawn point if you can help it (sometimes it’s just not easy to avoid), give your range units time to pick away at health bars before they reach your close range/defence units to save them from losing too much health

Ranged enemies are ANNOYING— get rid of them asap. They probably won’t be as bad when we can freely move our units without risk of breaking the level (see below)

This may eventually be patched out, but right now after the battle begins you can often move your units to spaces that were designated as unavailable during the devil selection— and I utilize it as much as I can— being able to place units wherever is incredibly helpful

IMPORTANT! Be extremely careful right now when moving your characters around— there’s currently a glitch that causes them not to move properly, and leave an invisible phantom of themselves where they once were.

This causes issues like:

Accidentally swapping your characters when you move one to where another once was, eating up your limited movements to fix it

If your units DIE while in this state, the enemies will glitch out and soft lock the level, forcing you to start it over

In Part 5 we’ll over the Shop, Secret Shop, Inventory and Management!

i’m eating fishball snack and thinking about yudan (zhang luyi, click here if you don’t know why his nickname is yudan/fishball). this is me attempting to summon yudan in yin zheng style lol. i mean it. once i saw a post on weibo filled with screencaps of yin zheng’s 2016 weibo posts on zhang luyi, and i swear there was a post of yin zheng holding a bag of fishball snack and refering to zhang luyi. BUT i’m sad that i didn’t save the post or the screencap, and i couldn’t find it anymore...

anyways, these two are my faves, and i’m super glad that they seemed to get along really well (they made that famous funny “狗带/goudai news” video together). i don’t know how much zhang luyi posted on weibo back then, but yin zheng interacted with him and posted bts photos a lot. i’m sad that even yin zheng’s weibo is changed to showing posts in the past 6 months only, and i can’t search for those posts anymore...

here’s a photo of them from years ago, and see the characters on the board behind them? the first row says “...eat fishball?” lol...so my fishball connection is really not that far off.

even after three-body, people including myself are making a connection because they both speak english with an english accent. i’m like i want them to be on a travel variety show so badly (like the one yin zheng used to be on, but this time he’ll be with someone who can understand and appreciate his english accent)...but considering how cryptic zhang luyi is lol, i think i probably have a better chance hoping for them to lead in a movie or tv show at some point in the future.

also it’d be so intereting if yin zheng actually gets to play luo ji in season 2 of three-body. i’d be like damn dashi, do you know that luo ji and wang miao used to be a thing lol?

"Have you ever even tried to think about things from my point of view?" Mei Mei

There was not even a pause at Mei Mei's question as Satoru snatched his prize from the hotpot, the last piece of roe-stuffed fishball. They had a private room in the luxurious restaurant of course, one entire wall simply a seamless window looking down to the busy pedestrian streets several dozen stories down.

"Nope!" Dropping the morsel into his bowl of sesame oil and an unreasonable amount of hoisin sauce, he went back to hunting more treasures from the bubbling pot. He might be the one who had invited Mei Mei here with a request, but there was no propriety in the battleground of hotpot. If Mei Mei wanted the best stuff, she's going to have to battle his chopsticks for it.

"As long as the pay is right, you can figure out all the details yourself right?" Finally happy with his haul, Satoru sat back and started inhaling a portion of his food. "So, you want to at least hear me out first?"

hc dump for könig and my oc kate

i cant fukin finish my chapter yet bc adult deadlines AAAAAA

König

he got his callsign because ever since he was a cadet, everything from his uniforms to his bed had to be made king-sized to cater to him, which cost a little extra but what can u do? gotta keep your soldiers in proper condition

so he was jokingly called "king" because of that + the irony of his personality being uncharismatic and quite reclusive, in contrast to what you'd expect of a king

he stuck with it anw because it sounds like his irl nickname "Nik"

in his kortac stints, being called "könig" def strokes his ego a bit

having grown up in a farm, he is close to animals but his job is stopping him from keeping pets

for him, definitely countryside >>> city, but stays in frankfurt and not himberg for work reasons. it's nearer to kortac hq.

struggles with relationships with other people but has a strong sense of self

Kate

(sry i don't have any pic for her so here's her plane HAHAHJSDGH)

to the filipinos: i'm sorry but with based on (not all but) many student pilots i've spoken to so far, imma have to make her a conyo girl HAHAH her family didn't start out well-off but got better over the years. so while she's not "make tusok the fishball" level, she has an accent on top of her taglish. (flight school so fkin pricey, so there's fr many of that demographic)

full-blown manila girl, but her parents are both cebuanos

for the avgeeks: she flies a gulfstream g550

before flying as a corporate pilot, her first job was as a flight instructor (which many do if they wanna earn flight hours asap)

workin with the charter company she's in for 5 years now and is a captain, hence the 4 bar epaulettes in the art

secretly dreams of bringing her future S/O for a plane ride just to show off some stall/spin recovery moves (if the date isn't a pilot too)

doesn't fkin know if she wants to apply at an airline (which is the end goal for most if not all filipino pilots)...or what to do with her life for the most part. she's just so good at looking put-together that nobody notices

opposite of könig, has good relations with other people but struggles with her sense of self

cant dump other hcs without spoiling so thatll do for now yay love u all <3

things are getting wild up in this johntenyang party

The previews are already going wild lmao. Why does it feel like Johnny has scolded Ten a million times in the span of this 10 second preview lol. And Yangyang's just there watching this shit go down lol.

Oh Ten is gonna cook! A mix of both Thai and Korean dishes.

Something tells me Ten is not a man who cooks a lot lol.

There are so many staff on set ToT There's another camera person to the side too

Johnny and Yangyang arrive <3 I didn't know this but apparently Johnny's emoji is a cat? Is he a cat though?? Hmmm

Yangyang bought tickets for Ten's fanconcert aw. It looks like his mom and sister wanted to go but couldn't though.

Lol Lee Yongheum's bubble? Is this going to be a continued series hehe

Johnny is on MC duty

So is Ten the reason why WayV always has the raunchiest English lyrics

Johnny: So it's sensual? Ten: Nah, not sexual Johnny: THAT'S NOT WHAT I FUCKING SAID

This is an adult drinking party lol

Ten: *Come here* Johnny: Dude what? No. He did lean in and Ten just whispered/rasped into his ear lol.

Intermittent English

Johnny: What kind of fishball has hair??

Oh booo they played BGM when Ten was playing a bit of the song for Johnny and Yangyang. They won't even give us this?

Cake time :3

Yangyang told Johnny that on birthdays people get three wishes and Johnny went WHAT?!??!?! Yangyang has said this before and I think this might be a Taiwanese thing lol. When I was watching Someday or One Day, I was so confused why the characters had three wishes lol.

Ten spouting the scoop on taking photos with old cameras and Yangyang was all "...he's been like this all year." And Johnny's all defiant of mainstream.

Johnny's promo advice is quantity over quality

Ten: Johnny you should twerk because you have the biggest hips Johnny: Not bigger than Mark Ten: I haven't been watching Mark Yangyang: So you've been watching Johnny? Unhinged conversation

The amount of times Johnny has gone ??? this video

Ten keeps trying to flip the conversation to his advantage and Johnny defeats him with logic every time and Yangyang is just there to watch shit go down

They're arguing again about this. Johnny says Ten is the sunbae because he debuted first but Ten says Johnny is the sunbae because he started training first.

And then once again Johnny has to shut Ten down lol

Ten trying to get the guys to take his food home and Johnny finding any way to refuse.

Lol this was fun! :3
