To be fair

They did give him a legendary costume

And also treasure which is neat I guess

Not too much to complain about there

But

But

You can't just deprive my boy of his combi pet Devsisters

Where is Magma Stone Devsisters

#velvet speaks #fire spirit cookie #immortal cataclysm #is it the next update #it better be the next update guys #he needs his p e t #maybe i'm being picky #sorry #but i'm w a t c h i n g you #my prediction is that the story ends on them finding fire spirit and or his bead #or possibly magma stone appears and leads them to fire spirit or something #and then transition into the next update and fire gets his pet a buff and more lore #b o o m #or they just give him a buff because of theming #they gave moon a legendary costume because of theming #or the next update is completely unrelated

Anybody else find it kind of weird when people want to make memes that involve a talking live bug, but they use images of dead bugs to so?

#maybe I'm being picky #just really gives me the sensation of the image creator puppeting around a tiny bug corpse and doing silly voices with it #rather than the intended effect #bug death tw #chittering

does anyone know of a legitimate way to get a physical copy of Pokemon Platinum that doesn't cost $1,000,000 and the soul of your firstborn child? because I'm having absolutely zero luck in my search

#ideally I'd like to pay $20. I could make $30 or $35 work. $40 is a bit much but I'd take it over the prices I've found in a heartbeat. #I am NOT paying $100+ for a game even if it had infinite gameplay (and spoiler alert: Pokemon Platinum does not have infinite gameplay) #the only site I've found that sells physical copies for less than an arm and a leg uses copies that have a chance to wipe your save data #maybe I'm being too picky. maybe there's no way to satisfy this desire in full. #or maybe people are asking for too much money for a single video game.

just watched the first episode of dead boy detectives and, let me tell you, there must be some odd thing connecting me to ghost netflix series...

#dead boy detectives #julie and the phantoms #lockwood & co #btw was i the only one that thought “wow the start of this episode played out the same way lockwood & co's first episode huh” #am i the only one that thought this episode was rlly rushed? #still liked it though #and the dialogue feels like too much exposition #but maybe i'm just being picky and difficult #sorry

I got to look at the room in the dormitory and now I'm torn between taking it and running, or maybe taking a bit more time to find something... less really cramped and where the washing machine doesn't smell sour, somehow

#and i have to decide today help #like yeah my flatmates are awful and I hate them and am in a bad mood whenever they're home #but they're usually gone on the weekends so at least I'm alone then #there's Something weird about the dormitory I looked at but I can't put my finger on it. apart from the awful smell in the laundry room #but I mean I could take my laundry to a laundromat if I really didn't want to use that washing machine I guess #there's shared kitchens there too but oh well i've done that before #but by god am I looking forward to living alone after university #all I want is a flat with enough space for a large bed or a pull-out couch for when friends visit #and ideally a balcony and cats allowed #mine #jess' flatmate rants #am I being too picky? all student rooms are very small and shared kitchens and bathrooms are normal #what really threw me off was the washing machine ngl #aaah maybe that's another thing: my old dorm was bigger so more anonymous #this one has a kitchen for 8-10 people #i'm not very social; I don't want to be friends with the people in my dorm; I want to be alone and left alone when I'm at home #anyway. guess I have that to consider for the next hour or so #aah Vse Kar Vem came up and I'm crying again; wonderful #also you know those days when anyone talking in the same room as you makes you want to murder them? i'm on like week two or three of that #with no stop and idk why and what's wrong; send help #ngl maybe my problem is less with the dorm itself and more that I literally can't imagine a good future for myself right now #where I get to not live either in my childhood bedroom forever or only ever with flatmates which. I'm never moving in with strangers again #and I have no friends I could move in with who would want that or don't already live with their boyfriends

Why is there no good p5 fanfic for shuake that isn't an au or has a plot convoluted enough it might as well be. What you have to work with post royal is SO GOOD please I'm on my hands and knees.

#maybe I'm being too picky but the way Akechi is chacterized in a lot of fics seems really ooc #I think it's a symptom of read to mamy fanfics i no longer remember what this character is actually like #no one gets him like i do #persona 5 #worms.txt

[neonganymede]

Is it just me, or did the fyolai scene feel a little... flat?

#bsd #bsd spoilers #idk I'm feeling all sorts of things about that scene #and 'mild disappointment' is one of them #yeah we got that panel of glorious wide-eyed obsession but where was his face during the flashback with fyodor? #where was the awe and obsession visually taking root like we saw in the manga? #idk maybe i'm just being picky. but watching that scene didn't feel as effective to me as reading it did #and i haven't seen anybody sharing my opinion yet so I'm just ^^; maybe it is just me

[shinshoyu]

playing mk rn why does it sometimes sound like the characters are in a tin can 😭😭😭

like sometimes the audio is SHIT ?!??? this damn story has beautiful cutscenes but god forbid the audio mixing has the same level of effort ig

#maybe i'm a bit of a bitch but please #is good quality sound too much to ask for :( #i didn't think i was picky but this sounds like a child mixed it #oops i'm probably being too harsh #i'm not sure i even care they're all so hot idgaf #mortal kombat #mortal kombat 1

thinking abt like. if you introduce someone to something you're into and they're like, wow, that's so awesome, you're probably tickled that they dig it and are seemingly a kindred spirit at least that far; if you then introduce them to another thing you're into and they're again like, wow, that's so awesome, you're probably still pleased but also perhaps guiltily wondering whether they know any other adjectives; and if you introduce them to a third thing and yet again they're like, wow, that's so awesome, you're probably asking yourself, was any of that affirmation actually real or is this person just so reflexively accommodating that they've been turning off whatever independent critical faculties they possess in order to play a better yes-man???

(for values of 'you' that primarily mean 'me' obviously)

#just thinking a lot this week abt like. on the one hand i SO deeply need people to be kind and exhibit a readiness to be pleased #and i'm so relieved and grateful when i encounter that energy #but like. on the other hand i need to feel like i actually meet your standards‚ not like you don't HAVE any? #like. if a golden retriever wants to be pals it means nothing. if a cat wants to be pals it means everything #and like. if we're being honest i'm very very very picky abt. everything. i was going to specify areas but. it's all of them. #i just try not to actively be a dick abt it to anyone's face bc i think that's really important #(and like. i did a slightly less good job of hiding that in certain ways this week than i probably endorse so i'm thinking abt that) #(like i think the problem is that it always feels v important to be clear abt my tastes/Who I Am bc i want to be Understood) #(but like. sometimes ppl just aren't the sort of people who are going to Understand me and i need to get better abt cutting bait) #(and prioritizing courtesy abt their tastes over clarity abt mine in those cases) #idk. have very extremely not resolved the tension between my various values here #basically like goldilocks i need everything to be juuuuuust right which like. perfect IS the enemy of good and i know it!! #but at the same time like. it IS better to be alone than to be with people who chafe you raw. #but maybe eventually if you let them sand you into a new shape it'll be good? but. feels bad to be sanded. #anyway. strongly suspect this is not actually a coherent post i'm very sleepytired #this week was really really challenging and left me with a lot of food for thought. also some pie

Anyway speaking of the sun did I ever tell you about the tales of arise eclipses

#im thinking about it again xyhdfgdchdchjh #do you think they like. considered it #i MEAN ofc they did #they cided that sun disappearing behind rena but dO YOU THINK #that they initially planned to have that actually impact like. the WORLD #in a significant manner? #with the actual luminosity level being affected and all #because like for cyslodia iirc this means no sunlight in the morning #(or cyslodia that we get to explore cyslodia's pretty big after all) #but like i can see how this is a problem like #you liberate cyslodia that is the One Realm where its always nighttime except when you end the renans' grasp on the region there #it still doesnt get a full day of sunlight because of astronomical reasons that we cant do anything about yet #also probably the region of the Central Ocean is in perpetual darkness as well but for those same astronomical reasons #like it GERS CONFUSING it would confuse everything idk #but heres the solution: you ditch that cyslodia in endless nighttime idea bc it was stupid in the first place #like. in calaglia they harvest fire astral energy so its a fiery place. theres fire everywhere. in menancia theyre harvesting #earth astral energy so its super lush and green. and so on and so forth #and in cyslodia theyre harvesting light astral energy so theres. theres no light. its dark. because theyre stealing it!!!!! #well why usnt menancia a barren wasteland then. why isnt ganoth super dry. wha #i COULD accept it if like. maybe. if like the completely stealing the light thing us like. ganabelt specifically. #like hes just a Special Boy and found a way to pull all the stops #and something like that has never been done before in the history of the crown contest #but no this has been going since the great conquest apparently so??? #like how arent the other lords doing something like that too? #is light astral energy like so fundamentally different that the harvesting process is the opposite of what happens in other realms? #and if thats the case why dont they ever explain it in the game. or just make a pasing comment about it. I'm not picky #aaaanyway. just get rid of that specific cyslodia plot point #and THEN you can focus on how living in the shade of rena influenced what parts of Dahna #like. to just kinda like. cement the world building a bit?

hmmm

#found a new anthology series I was excited to submit my story to #from all of the info it seemed like a really good fit #but they have a few stories on there (from like a prev related publication??) as like samples and I read them and #welp. did not like them at all. #ik being picky is not the way to get published so I'm torn #and it's still like....in tone premise length style etc. I still think my story would be a good fit for this #but the other stuff is just so...not the vibe. idk even how to put my finger on it but #hm. maybe ''weird about women'' is one aspect but nothing so blatant that I can really point to. it's just...hm. idk #odds are they wouldn't pick my story anyway so I should just probably just submit and move on without overthinking #keep playing the numbers game #and 8¢ a word is pretty good so like. do I even care? #but on the other hand. not feeling good about it

My thoughts about Soundwave&Cassettes and Blaster&Cassettes

My headcanon, like many other people's headcanon, is that they are family. But. That is NOT the human idea of ​​a family. There is no relationship between parents and children, even the relationship between siblings (Frenzy&Rumble, Laserbeak&Buzzsaw, Eject&Rewind) is not human. These are BLOODY ALIEN ROBOTS, they should not have the same concept about the family as we do.

What if the cassettes only follow their hosts because it's their program? They can't help but love each other. They can't help caring for each other. Because it's too deep in their processors. What if the deck-mech converts another mech into a cassette? And what if they think of their cassettes as their sweet, precious, beloved trophies? What if they create cassettes? Well, that doesn't mean the cassettes are their children. What if the cassettes are just parts of them, thinking and living, of course, but parts? And losing cassette is almost as painful as losing an arm or leg. Or what if they just choose each other as companions? They have nothing but deep trust, care and duty, because life on their planet is cruel and hard, and they all just want to survive.

I really want to see something new, something bold. Even (especially) if it's too weird, or creepy, or awful. Because they're NOT human. I mean, isn't it too arrogant and smug to think that an alien robot has our morals or standards? Be brave. Make them terrifying.

the way i kinda want some angst (and maybe a few more partners/new dynamics) but then also feel kinda bad for wanting them 🥲

#ferre said something i hope it was dumb ( ooc. ) #and ships.... :'D #esp for annie. baby girl....she deserves some love ( and also i want to see ara's reaction </3 I'M SORRY LYNNIE ) #they can be fun....i just end up being SUPER picky about them :'D #either that or i get a shy about asking #although most of the muses here are taken in all technicalities....calum isn't tho (he's on a single muse blog) #maybe i'm due to finally make a promo.... #anyways i have some drafts i finished today so i'll probably do a mass post when i get home tmmow <3

Are there any kinky names Kamui likes being called like master or daddy?

( YIIIIKES do NOT call him daddy he will get immensely uncomfortable LMFAO. a little on the fence about 'master', i don't think he'd like it too much but maybe he'd warm up to it depending on his relationship with the one calling him that. he likes cute petnames like 'sweetie', 'darling', etc, but shit like that no. he's not a fan of. Call him either of those things without warning he'll get super pissed and uncomfy.💀 )

#ooc. #smut tag. #daddy kink tw #( me minding my own business: :) #( anon: wOuLd KaMuI lIkE bEiNg cAlLeD dAdDy ) #( i'm tired what even prompted this ) #( i think the only kink he really has is for blood ) #( maybe he'd consider other stuff but he'd really picky about it )

I'm currently reading The Ministry for the Future, and it's really pinpointing some of my issues with contemporary fiction and why I struggle to solve them. It's essentially a near-future speculative fiction concept about climate change, which I think is difficult for me whether optimistic or fatalistic. I am suspicious of escapism where some miraculous solution is found, because I do not enjoy being placated and I find that I have no patience for those who want to be (in this genre of fiction anyway—I personally don't like escapism in general but I acknowledge its necessity otherwise), but I also get frustrated with defeatism because it tends to fall dangerously close to, if not outright within the bounds of, ecofascism, and if a middle ground between the two within a semi-realistic story exists, I haven't found it yet.

Granted, I am only about 20% of the way into this book, so it remains to be seen if Robinson has found that, but... it is making me think I should stick primarily to second-world speculative fiction.

#granted this is also why the southern reach trilogy fucks. #no one in that trilogy has the answers and jeff vandermeer is not going to hand them to me for some false satisfaction. #that reminds me I gotta pick up the ambergris trilogy as well. #actually hummingbird and salamander is probably closest to this genre maybe i should see if my boy jeff has done it lol #I'm SORRY I'm so fucking picky and i don't like being coddled #nor do i like hopeless crying. it's useless to me and I have avoided careers where i have to listen to it. #something something never tell me the odds or whatnot #megs is reading
