Love characterising nishikiyama as a booze hound drug hound meth addict high every day body mass 75% alcohol hands constantly shaking literally spacing out while driving fifty over the speed limit using elderly folk as speedbumps one hand on the wheel and one hand free to do more drugs and coming into work while functionally deaf and blind and he is still leagues more competent at his job than kiryu

#Yakuza loveblog #i dont talk about nishikiyama enough because im kazamapilled and hate him a little bit but im also kiryupilled and love him so much so you #see my problem? like i adore when nishiki is just. better in every way than kiryu and nobody ever sees that because theyre all too busy #sucking kiryus cock like okay nishiki had the rest of his life planned out when he was twenty and he was an extremely successful criminal #and getting himself noticed in many many circles then kiryu steps outside and gets into a street fight immediately and the entire tojo clan #surrounds him to throw cash at him like nishiki was actually doing so well for himself before his life was ruined. nothing is his fault #like i love just accepting that nishiki has one hell of a substance abuse problem and nobody cares enough about him to talk to him about it #and kiryu thinks its normal because hes the only one who can see that nishikis doing some great work out there so he must be doing #everything right. inconceivable that nishiki has any sort of ‘problem’ hes the real screwup and kiryu knows he makes life harder for himself #but he refuses to change because hes convinced that thats the only thing hes good at. like i believe that nishiki has a coke snorting #mechanic in game like harry db and without his coke buff he cant do as much damage like with it his output is on par with kiryus whos just #been blessed since birth by the violence gods. anyway kiryu is the only person in the world who thinks that nishiki is great do you get it #nishiki has lived his entire life in kiryus shadow and he doesnt care that kiryu has a natural charisma that he will never have. he has to #get out there every single day networking and socialising and hustling and nonstop landing interviews with cool magazines to get his name #out in the world while kazama takes kiryu out and drags him by the elbow to meet people like this is my son kiryu who has every disease and #everyone claps and cheers like i cannot stress enough how on top of the game nishiki is compared to kiryu. he has a car. kiryu doesnt even #have his own lighter. they are not on the same playing field and yet nishikis always trailing behind him because opportunity is always #knocking at kiryus doorstep whether he likes it or not and nishiki gets fed scraps and nothing else and hes the one with ambition he wants #the view on top and most importantly he wanted his brother there with him but nobody ... likes him ... nobody likes nishiki nobodys in his #corner he onky had kiryu and when he lost him it was quite literally him against the world. it always made me laugh how at the end of yk1 #harukas paying her respects at nishikis grave when the only time he ever cared about her was because he wanted her little pendant and he #(actually fucked how alone nishiki was he didnt even have his own fucking men to rely on he was basically working alone with someone he knew #was using him like ??? he was fucking desperate) anyway i really love to think that kiryu being nishikis only friend and the last person in #the world who thought kindly of him (barring like ... kashiwagi) was grieving terribly over his death and haruka being a sensitive and #sweet little girl took the initiative to ask about nishiki and i think kiryu would tell her stories every night of the kind of stuff he and #nishikiyama would get up to when they were her age. he would tell her how amazing nishiki was and how he always looked out for him how he #took care of his sister and how he would always be the one to remind them of impending birthdays and the like. nishiki cared about the #little things .. and he made kiryu want to care about them too but theres just something different between them because nishikis always #been a better person than him .. and he would tell haruka in a voice that sounded like he was begging her to understand that nishiki wasnt a #bad person.. though he did bad things he was a good man and he still wishes with all his heart that he could have done more to save him ...

There always seems to be one kid who just screams like a tornado siren, all day long, at any given opportunity. Like, kid, I love you, you are precious and deserve all the happiness in the world; but please for the love of god shut up. There are people trying to learn here and you’re not helping them or yourself.

#I don’t like being harsh with people in general but if one child is raising the tension in the room to a fever pitch every single day #making it incredibly hard for the kids who are trying really really hard to focus when they already have focus issues #and because I know this specific kid gets absolutely spoiled rotten at home and is allowed to do whatever they want #you know… sometimes it helps to show the kid how they sound to others by demonstrating the obnoxious nature of The Scream #because when the parents do Jack Shit about teaching their kid discipline and courtesy; you have to be a parent in their stead #But do NOT continue to scream. You are an adult with adequate emotional control. Screaming should be be done EXTREMELY sparingly #and only utilized for demonstration purposes or to stop a brawl; not for bullying or intimidation #Don’t do a JoJo Siwa and TRY to make kids cry even though you may get stressed enough that you want to escalate on purpose #Again: you are an adult with adequate emotional control; don’t escalate unless the overreaching plan is to deescalate #if eliciting a startle response will stop harmful behavior and “snap them out of it” for long enough for you to get through #or if they just need to let all their emotions out at once so they can lose enough of that high energy to think critically #then sure #but you have to guide them back down very carefully and calmly; it’s a precise science #Don’t be mean about it; be genuine in your feelings and don’t go overboard. Genuine ≠ mean unless you’re evil #Or if you don’t feel emotions very strongly (like I do) then react like a “normal” person. Lie about being angry or sad if it is appropriat #Again: Your goal should not be to get the kid to do what you want; the goal should be to get them to feel good enough #so they are ABLE to do it in the first place #And the goal should also be to show them how their actions affect others if they are not aware of it #“Teach a man to fish” and all that. Don’t always check them; get them to check themselves #If a kid hits another kid when they’re angry at something completely unrelated; then 1.) redirect destructive behavior #and 2.) walk them back over to the kid they hurt and say: #“Look at [name]; look how sad you made them. [name] didn’t do anything to you #It’s okay to be angry but we CANNOT hit people when we are angry because it hurts and makes them cry.” Works great #Always remember there is a power imbalance inherent in EVERY child-adult relationship and NEVER abuse it #And if you’re not patient or emotionally stable enough to work with or have children; then don’t. Please don’t. #Children are not cute little dolls to play dress-up with; nor are they perfect angels; nor are they your personal stress ball #Having children is NOT A GAME. They are PEOPLE who will grow to be your age one day and everything you do affects them #Sorry I’m just tired of all these parents who shove iPads in their kids faces so they don’t bother them. You’re giving them an addiction

Shout outs to the stinky gang I found in the sewers last night

#splatoon #BEGGING you to ignore my scores it's NOT my fault i was plagued by one million glowflies 😭😭😭 #seriously what the fuck was up with my luck last night. almost every single round had glowflies. #i swear there's like a sweet spot you wanna be too rank wise like. trying to get to profreshional 2 again. #but my luck was SO rancid last night i was blasted into overachiever. dear lord. #cannot stress enough that i am very average i cannot carry a team and i rely heavily on my teammates knowing what they're doing #which is a lot of words to say. yeah okay i'm not very good at video games sometimes. sad. sometimes i am good though. it depends. #i feel like my biggest problem actually is i tend to freeze up. or have processing lag. #which honestly is why i tend to play turn based games. some platformers with no stakes. and pvp is typically off the table for me LMAO #but splatoon is a very special game and for some reason i'm deeply into salmon run against all odds it's literally all i play LMFAO #anyways. needed to get the salt out of my system LMFAOO so sad so sad. war and hatred on planet earth ect ect #at least there is boysmell. and slime. and a rat. just one. that's all you need really

officially started my pc journey. immediately lost my first qp game but we won a few team fights against broken heroes so that counts for something, right? 😭😭

Congrats! Welcome to the world of KB/M <3

#be sure to try out other PC games though!!!! #I know portal 1 & 2 aren’t only on pc but all valve games are on sale rn #(steam summer sale so it’s def the best time to look for games) #I know that obviously halo reach isn’t a pc game either but it’s my fav FPS campaign and I cannot stress enough how fun it is #if anyone has any good recommendations for pc gaming in particular please feel free! #I know this is an ow blog and all. but portal is a necessity for like gaming history ( + it’s fun) #hmmm my friends like rimworld and dwarf fortress. as well as civ 5 #also I’ve enjoyed playing csgo with a couple of my friends so far! #except it does live up to its reputation of a horrible community #valorant exists too ofc but for me valorant is the bastard child of csgo and overwatch so it’s like #why have the mixture when you can get the experience of each one in its purest form? #HOWEVER DON’T FUCKING GAMBLE IF YOU START PLAYING CS. DO NOT. #valve makes 54 MILLION per MONTH. from csgo gambling. don’t buy into it #it’s so funny to me that my must play games are also on consoles. or straight up were originally on them #the games being halo reach journey and portal 1 & 2. #(also you can emulate and pirate basically anything. welcome to pc gaming!!!) #but anyways!!!!!!!! back to ovw!!!!! congrats on getting to flick properly now!!!!! genuinely <3 #c talks

I desperately need to experience the adrenaline of being chased around or being in some kind of danger in a controlled situation. Like an escape room or a rollercoaster or something like that

#i need to feel like a hunted animal i think it would be good for my brain #unfortunately i am broke as all fuck #so i cant go to any theme park or anything #watching horror movies doesnt do it for me anymore #ive seen too many horrors as a teen and now theyre not scary anymore #i guess i couldd play a horror game but unfortunately i am also a massive coward and its kinda too much for me lmao #i mean i still have one chapter of faith left but. its not scary enough #its a very good game and i love it and i want to finish it but. i need to feel fear rn lmao #i want to be uncomfortable in a controlled way #i may just watch a few like creepy viddies on youtube. like some movie analysis or a list or true crime or smth i dunno #like my life is at the same tim etoo boring now and too stressful in ways that i cannot escape and hate #i mean like living as an adult is scary enough. i want to be scared in a fun way #bee buzz

i miss it when arb used to do event end cards that weren’t directly from the story like??? imagine not knowing saburo, heartbroken he didn’t get to work at the host club with ichiro, went to bed and manifested it in his dreams lmao

#this is vee speaking #the arb chronicles #whenever i start getting apprehensive about saburo’s future this comes to mind lmao #and by this i don’t just mean the end card but the entire event lmao #like it’s good jiro and saburo wanted to be their big bro’s wingman in case he had no game lol #(they really shouldn’t have worried lol ichiro is a very tall and handsome young man lol of course women would buy his time) #but demanding he be let in because he has money???? saying jiro was a stranger because this was his money and jiro’s some tag along lol???? #deciding to be a host when stopped and so dead set on it he dreamt about it lol????? saburo and i cannot stress it enough #are you okay lmao??????????????

i finally played dnd for the first time and it was WILD, my friend DMed a one shot (homebrew!) and she was incredible like she had music and sound effects and figurines and insane props (there were actual flames on the table at one point!!!) and all the other players were so fun like. gosh. GOSH!!

#since it was a one shot she made all the characters beforehand and we just picked at semi-random #i called dibs on the half-orc bc of course i did and then the overall background actually ended up being PERFECT for me to play #and i made an early decision that the character wouldn’t speak #(partly bc i was nervous about improvising and partly bc it made character sense to me) #and then!! i accepted a cursed weapon and transformed into the Big Bad and had to give a big evil speech!!! #so it was like! extra intense bc it was his first time actually talking to the rest of the party!! #and then we had to fight #but i had telepathy so i started all of my turns whispering in their heads #trying to recruit them into my holy war #and the first few times i rolled really high persuasion but it didn’t quite work #and then on my last turn when i was almost dead i tried to convince them again and rolled a ten #but then remembered i had inspiration and rerolled and got. a nat 20!!!!! #so the game ended i got everyone else on my side and everyone lived #well one character killed himself but then the cleric brought him back lmao #but yes it was supposed to be a one shot but it went so well we could pick it back up again!! #wild. WILD. it was so good!!!! #extremely what i needed after this crazy week my goodness the universe came thru for me today #the universe and my DM friend who was—i cannot stress this enough—INCREDIBLE!! #this week has been so intense but it’s also felt like something has shifted and i hope i can just maintain this energy 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

I need nintendo to remaster Uprising so bad, Smash’s horrid writing has horrifically damaged peoples’ perception of the characters and it’s ruining my Life

#somari funny moments. #i mean people would do that to Palutena anyways but the same goes for the rest of the cast #like don’t get me wrong I know smash is a Silly Fighting Game not a Story #but when it’s the only perception people have of a lot of characters. and they choose to HAVE writing. oh god #cannot stress ENOUGH how dirty the Guidances did everyone it’s SO bad #anyway don’t mind me I got a sniff of good characterization from the fandom and it made sad how Scarce it is

my friends like invite him to go clubbing with us! i’m gonna club my brain in.

#personal #one i invited someone else already so im not gonna be like hey single friend lemme go off with whatever this dude is and leave you with #my friend you don’t know with her boyfriend #then that’s such a weird driving situation #like do we stick with the original game plan of having friends bf drive and then have that dude meet up or #do i have him pick me up and go pick up friend which insane to ask second hang out #ah!!! #and then it’s like well you’re only considering the second possibility bc you enjoy his company and wouldn’t mind him driving you home #which leads into like well. what is this. #cause yes we’ve been talking for like a few weeks #had a very nice date #talked about getting TESTED #is it like. are we. just talking are we hitting and quitting are we gonna be 🫣 #which is like what do *i* want #which crazy enough! i actually really like this dude so i wouldn’t mind a relationship #but then it’s like okay. what if he doesn’t like me. or only wants sex. hnnnn #and now i’m embarrassed about everything like damn he fr saw me spam my insta im gonna kill my self #what’s the appropriate amount of time to respond to a message- not what’s the appropriate #to ignore than respond but what makes it seem like i’m not waiting by the phone #which novel experience outside of friendship #and i’m trying to logic myself out of it like hey. good experience whichever way this goes #you got some talking practice went on a proper date that wasn’t dennys that you half paid for after they explained their whole books plots #I CAN TALK MY LEGITMENT POLITICS AND BELIEFS. #experience. which great. doesn’t do anything the whole im fumbling feeling like at alll #this is mortifying and i hate it. like i cannot exaggerate it’s a little disgusting #oh and then okay he has the time and does go clubbing #I CSNT FUCKING DANCE. #and the WORST bit. is im kicking my feet and giggling when we’re talking like die!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #i’m getting butterfly’s listening to the playlist he made me #regardless how this goes i am not doing this again this is way too stressful

[delightfuldevin]

Barnacle and Brime is an AMAZING stage and I love it so very much

#its so big!! #i cannot stress enough how the first time i played on it i could not find anyone on the opposing team for the first 10-15 seconds #and not just cause i was inking home base the stage is just THAT big #plus i feel like its laid out in such a way that getting to the middle actually takes some time #which can be a good or bad thing depending on how you like to play #i like inking around home base a bit and then going into the middle so its fine for me #devin’s gaming logs

There is a version of me that gave up uni after first or second year and didn't return to the city and just lives at home and works a min wage job or smth and maybe she's happier maybe she's not but she is definitely less stressed but also she doesn't have the friends that I do

#i like to ponder who i would be if made different decisions than the ones i did make #like in narritive games when you can look at the branching paths #there is 100% a path where i never came back after my gap year and just stayed at home #i think staying home would be way less stressful but i also think that i would feel stagnant way too fast #at uni i am so busy and overwhelmed all the time but i have more friends and more interactions with friends and i feel more fulfilled #because i am learning and am involved with stuff in the uni so it really does feel connected and like a community #and like you can 100% do that in my town too i know like a dozen ways i could volunteer there (half of them i wouldnt tho) but even then #i think volunteering and working retail or whatever wouldnt be enough yknow? #maybe that version of me has the mental energy to become a writer and i get really into essay writing that i post or smth #and maybe i find fulfillment there or i get really into gardening fr and hiking and whatnot i mean i was already on that path but left it #when i went back to the city because i simply cannot do those things #regardless if i stayed home id 1000000% be a family person and there would be a near 0% chance i ever date someone because i KNOW the #the people who are my age there i went to highschool with them im GOOD like im sure new people have moved there maybe but most people who #move there are like 40+ and are planning to retire so idk how many new young adults are there that didnt grow up there and i mean young adu #adult as in 20 smths not teens i am NOT talking about dating teens no thank you #the main thing to note here actually is that i wpuld be mentally ill regardless and so no matter what no choice is ideal

While I'm talking about writing I do want to rec two INCREDIBLE writing apps that have helped me immensely as a writer with ADHD

Stimuwrite is a little program that you can customize with all sorts of really rewarding instant tactile feedback, for example sound effects every time you hit a key, emoji notifications and balloons when you hit your custom goal (which can be as low as you want for low energy days), and neat animated backgrounds.

4thewords turns writing into an RPG and you can kill monsters via word count in order to complete quests and progress through what I personally find to be an interesting and fun storyline. It comes with all the RPG trappings like loot, gear, even custom housing (win more stuff for your house by writing).

I cannot stress ENOUGH how amazing both of these have been in terms of my writing productivity as someone with pretty severe executive dysfunction issues. Usually I use Stimuwrite for the instant feedback and then copy and paste those over into 4thewords for the gamification.

Both are small indie projects, Stimuwrite is pay-what-you-can-afford and 4thewords is $4/month but they are very good about helping people who genuinely can't afford it.

and AS THE CHERRY ON TOP, Stimuwrite's programmer is a trans woman, and while I'm not sure about the 4thewords team in specific, the game is FILLED with really great rep, they are literally having a lesbian wedding global event going on right now as I type this. So like. I like giving money to them more than giving money to a lot of other projects lol.

Anyway no neither of these projects have told me to write about them or anything I just want to spread the love. Go check them out!!
