Now that I've been slowly incorporating myself back into the RP field, there are a few things that I want to make a note of, more than anything as a means to establish my own boundaries after realizing my tendencies of doing more concessions to others than I can handle for multiple reasons. So here we go:
✧ In my awareness of the implications of what Dain can do and lacking confirmation (directly or indirectly) that it's in the realm of plausibility, I've been toning down his possibilities except for those who I know that it's okay to throw everything in without problem. I want to change that, as I realized that I'm clipping my own wings and sometimes I struggle with feelings of dissatisfaction that are partly rooted in that topic. As for what his possibilities are, obviously linked to his abilities: it suffices to have a look at the implications of Irminsul and being genuinely connected to it, the fact that he wields a power from beyond and what he's seen doing on screen.
✦ On the topic of tagging content that was released recently, I'll give it one week. If it's something concerning leaked content, that will always be put under cut.
✧ Lastly, and perhaps the most controversial point: I'm a patient person and an advocate that speed reply doesn't measure proportionally the interest other people have. However, I reached a point where I can discern details that point towards a potential lack of interest and this is specially if I keep approaching someone and I don't receive any kind of feedback. If I consider that I spent all the options I have to make a situation better for both ends and the situation is the same, I'll take it for what it is: I did what I could. It isn't on me to come to anyone's IMs and say "hey, I think you should do this" and I won't. So if that point were to come, it'll end with an unfollow from my part. No hard feelings, maybe we just don't mesh and that's okay, it happens.

I'm gonna keep watching Paradox Live because I do find the story interesting and the character designs are pretty, but tbh for a story centering around music all of the songs have been kinda...eh. Like I know for a fact that Japanese people can rap and rap well, but all of the songs so far have been forgettable and generic to me. It's also really hard to have two characters that are motivated by their background on the streets and are supposed to reflect that style of rap when their voice actors are very obviously not that. Ironically their song sounds the most poser-like, which is astonishing considering that BAE's songs so far have been about as meaningful and memorable as a Marshmallow beat.
Like there are rappers who come from the ghetto that convey that in their music and their voice effortlessly. And there are also artists who DO have that background but can't convey it, but make up for it by having fun music with a lot of personality behind it. MC Hammer was a man with a metric fuckton of gang connections and he wasn't afraid to use them, and irl he was apparently scary as shit whenever he had beef with you. But he couldn't for the life of him convey that, even when he tried to jump onto the hardcore thug rap. He lived the life but he couldn't convey it.
But the twins also suffer this way worse because they're fictional characters, and being able to rap and convey that kind of character through your voice is a really big ask even to well-trained seiyuus. Still, it doesn't change the fact that their song was a gigantic let down for me like most of these songs so far
