Time to finally finish Crimes of Passion!!

#aah i have been waiting for this book pass!! #i am still on chapter 11 #choices #crimes of passion

Does one of you already start writing the next chapter before the other is done? Or do you wait until the other is done with the chapter, read it and then start the process for the next chapter?

we typically will start them while the other person is working on their chapter! suni started chapter 10 right around when i was finishing 9.1 — that said, with our schedules And the sheer amount of words our chapters end up being, it still takes a long time even with us being proactive!

#asks #i started ch9 i think during ch7 AND IT STILL TOOK 8 YEARS #and obviously with 9.1/9.2 being btb i couldn’t start the 2nd half before i finished the 1st lol #the same thing will happen for suni with chapters 10/11 unfortunately #<- i am starting ch12 once she starts ch11 tho bc i desperately need a break lol

NOOOO DON'T GO OUT THERE literally when in these past 3 arcs or any other instance has it ever been okay to wander the halls at night

NOOOOOOO

#but also. hazzah for fast plot! it's not 40 but like 20 pages is great for chapter length nowadays so I am happy #but it's still not enough so the less time we spend on multiple scenes and just cut to the fruit seeds the better #oh it was 19 pages (excluding the cover)... well pacing wasn't too bad here #anyway noooo but yeeesss please learn more cause these children could never hurt you anyway~~ #kuroshitsuji #black butler #kuro spoilers #kuroshitsuji spoilers #kuro chapter 198 #kuroshitsuji chapter 198 #... also where did this kid come from? why can he just do that? what is he from the circus too? #don't try to tell me average 11(?) year olds can just do that #also! last also. that chibi sebastian is new. change is hard but I like it. very clean. #finny black butler

words not wording ;-;

#fuck this chapter specifically #i have been stuck on it for a month+ #and oh sweet summer child that i was to think i could write a whole second draft in 11 months and have it done by easter #yes i am annoyed at myself for setting unrealistic goals and not meeting them #yes i am annoyed that i cannot get over this block #no i don't want to skip to the next chapter bc i'm worried i will never want to return to this one #but i might have to >:( #first time i've come back to it in nearly two weeks #and i still hate it #am i also a bit deflated about having not published any fics for 8 months? yes but what can you do #whatever we move #personal #lit talks #ignore the tag ramble just...writing man

I see a lot of people saying that the royals (mostly Alfred, but I’ve seen a fair bit of complaining about all the others too) are statistically bad in Engage. I have to wonder, what difficulty is this based off of? On my Hard playthrough most of the royals were my best units, and Alfred in particular was amazing. Ivy and Celine were probably the weakest two - Ivy due to being a bit slow and having AWFUL dex and luck, and Celine just lacking power due to splitting her attention between strength and magic.

Is it just Maddening that they’re specifically bad for? I have not (and will not) played that mode in any FE but my impression is very much that Maddening mode is a different experience and you’re basically forced to play a certain way to win. That’s probably even more true here since fixed growths are in play, so you can’t count on RNG to give you good units. You have to find the ones that the game wants you to use, and stick with them.

For me, one of the biggest joys of FE has always been the RNG of it all - I love the random growths meaning different characters shine (and suck) each run, which encourages you to give different units a try. I love that, at least on Normal and Hard, you have enough breathing room to basically play how you want - favor the units of your choice, reclass whoever into whichever classes you fancy, etc - and doing so MIGHT make your life harder but probably won’t doom your entire run. The versatility and random nature of your units growths makes strategy & combat in this game infinitely more appealing and adds to its replayability.

Like I LOVE Persona games and Stella Glow (which gameplay wise is fairly similar to FE) but in those games the characters are what they are, and the stats on level-up are set in stone. Once you’ve done ONE run and know what works, Complacent Gaming kicks in and you repeat the exact same steps in future runs. In FE even if you use the same characters in the same classes, their performance WILL vary based on how blessed or cursed the RNG has been for them.

If Maddening IS as difficult and particular as I’m assuming, and basically every unit’s viability is determined from the moment you get them and you HAVE to play a specific way to win... is it really right to judge units based on that specific difficulty? Like, sure, so-and-so SUCKS on Maddening, but so does EVERYONE except this specific handful of units and if you use anyone else you’re just hurting yourself.

I feel like we should be judging characters based off a difficulty where everyone is at least VIABLE from the beginning, but judging how likely they are to REMAIN that way based on their growths/classes/personal skills/etc.

To put it another way, what would a tier list of a Maddening run look like? My impression is that it has two, maybe 3 categories of who you can actually use, who gets benched immediately, and MAYBE a middle category of who exists to fill a spot on the team and take a few hits/deal a smidge of damage for just a little while until someone better comes along to replace them. Meanwhile on Normal and Hard you can have a full spectrum of who on average is statistically the best through the worst, with everything in between. And considering several “unusable” units on Maddening are at least GOOD or even better on a normal or hard run, can you really call them bad? At the very least CLARIFY you mean they’re bad on Maddening specifically instead of in general.

#fire emblem #fire emblem engage #fe17 #happy for all the people who love maddening mode out there but it's Not For Me #for one i am a casual gamer that doesn't hate myself. I want a challenge but not TOO MUCH #(this is the same reason i don't fight superbosses in KH games. it's equivalent to smashing my head repeatedly against a brick wall IMO) #and if i'm right about how maddening works it also sounds like it takes the most fun aspect of FE out of it for me #since i'd be railroaded into using specific characters and strats instead of being able to play however i want with whoever i want #basically i want people to clarify if they mean maddening mode specifically when they call units awful #because i'm not bothered at all by people saying ANYONE is bad on maddening. i believe you i guess. i also don't care. #maddening plays by a distinctly different set of rules so i barely think of it as the same game #any FE veteran would tell you not to waste EXP on your pre-promote in the beginning #yet awakening lunatic is affectionately called Frederick Emblem so... i've learned to think of that difficulty as its own entity #but most units can be used on hard and the royals specifically are mostly still GOOD on hard #if i had polls i might not have made this post at all btw. because really what i want to know COULD be condensed into poll questions #what difficulty do you prefer/think is default/judge characters by & were the royals GOOD units for you? #anyway my second (hard) run is underway and alfred CONTINUES to be a great unit for me #about to go into chapter 10-11 and alcryst and diamant are doing great so far too #celine however is struggling. she is REALLY hurt by trying to be physical AND magical. she ends up middling in both #she might end up outright benched in this run

Just finished reading the The Raven King (the second All for the Game book to clarify) and I feel sick.

#I want to erase chapter 11 from my brain #why am I reading this? #I’m fucking up my head with all the fucked up content I consume #I’m still going to read the next book asap though #all for the game #the raven king #neil josten #andrew minyard

Sorry don't mind me I'm just still in shock that the Kenobi series is real

#star wars #kenobi series #we got that. we truly got genuinely authentic true-to-the-heart-of-the-franchise star wars media #with my BOY obi-wan!! and anakin!!! and ewan and hayden!! and we got to see obi-wan have a relationship with leia (!!!!!!) #and we got to see him heal!!! #i just...i just can't believe it like we are living in the era of the final big chapter of their story #we're still freaking out about rots from 2005 sure but we also have something new that is made for *us* #we are this star wars generation and we got to be here for the last chapter of the entire 6-movie saga. it was made for us #i'm losing it #little 11-year-old me who journaled as a made-up star wars character...little 9-year-old me who wrote her first fanfic about star wars #little 13-year-old me who never forgot about how the clone wars series never got an ending and wished that it could have (and it did) #little me who watched the original trilogy on vhs and fell in love with it. who freaked out when vader said 'i am your father' #little me who made up a parody song about star wars and still remembers it to this day (it's called 'yoda was a puppet') #(it started as a rip-off of the veggietales song 'jonah was a prophet' and evolved from there lol) #little me who was OBSESSED with obi-wan and always related to him but thought i'd never get to see any more of him #and now my dream's come true #and i just feel a lot of things about it #all those younger versions of me got what they wanted. i got to witness something worthy of being that final chapter as it happened #i've never been happier to be a star wars fan #obi wan kenobi #kay has a party in the tags #kay can i just catch my breath for a second

I took out like 4 whole ass books from the library last week, brought them home and immediately started reading some of the ones off my own hecking shelf instead

#my dude what was the point #this is what it took me to get myself motivated to finally start rereading rangers apprentice. (starting with book 11 for some reason) #i'm still gonna read them i just don't understand my own logic AKDJFKS #even then i am still reading incredibly slowly for my normal standard anyway. like barely 1-2 chapters in a sitting... pathetic #but it's something at least #who opened the box (ooc)

gotta love that the local news is like 'residents are saying illegal fireworks activity is especially bad this year and the fireworks sound more like actual bombs and people are very concerned' and the police are like 🤷‍♀️ we have no idea what these ppl are talking abt

#and I say this as.... someone who called the police every year for the first like 4 years I lived year #never called for anything else #just. hey. they are doing some of the most illegal fuckin fireworks on earth over here. you gonna come and like handle this or??? #and they would tell me it wasn't their jurisdiction they couldn't pinpoint who it was on and on #and I was like well I am at this address watching this shit right now so uh not hard to figure out #there are a lot of neighborhoods over here. lot of apartment complexes BUT we are in the ~poor~ end of town #on the border with the ~poor~ town so lmao they just flat out do not give a shit #I would call and call and call and finally I quit cause they just don't give a fuck. it's a joke. #like I would try to explain on the phone like hello yes there are lots of neighborhoods and fields in between and pls give a shit abt us #I fuckin HATE this holiday. drone shows are the only thing that should be allowed. #every year this state is on fire. people are in danger. often the most vulnerable. and the counties are still like #oh byt how are the local churches and football teams gonna make money if they can't sell fireworks?!?! #like I don't fucking care! hope they all file for chapter 11. eat my dick. #ok I'm taking sleeping meds now I gotta calm down. #erin explains it all
