#now i log out of tumblr so i dont have to see peoples reaction B)

[edge-lorde]

hp update: its been a long time, boys. ud think that with this plague outbreak id have more time for shitty phone games, and ud be right! however, the time i normally might use to make tumblr posts has been taken up by reading lotr orc fanfiction non-stop for at least 1 full month. id still be in the thick of that obsession even now if only the fics would update. that is how i find you today folks, for the first time in many weeks i am staring at a screen with nothing to do. so come with me friends, theres no better way to fill the soulless void we are all in than reading a nice long tumbler post. 

disclaimer, first of all, a lot has happened, i prefer to keep these updates as plot spoiler free as possible but do to extenuating circumstances i feel like it is necessary to say, [SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER BELOW]

that rowan fucking died,

i wont say exactly how, but i will say that her death was animated as were animations of myself and a few others reacting to our friend fresh corpse. obviously meant to be serious moments but the animations made it seem almost comical. 

i saw at least one post going around right after this update that was like ‘how could the game devs do this to us..... how could they hate rowan so.... this is punishment from on high’ and its like.... u guys do know what a story is right? the events of  a story are not typically done to punish less faithful fans, im pretty sure they were planning to kill rowan off from the beginning. this isnt disney im pretty sure the writers are not writing each chapter the night before its released by popular vote. 

that little “are we drifting away..?” scene with rowan makes more sense now. there was a bit in one of the scenes where the kids all reminisce on rowans life and the mc talks about it being the last real one on one time they had with rowan. a nice bitter sweet moment. i dont hate this turn of events. its a good reminder that actions have consequences and we are way past they days of “should i wear a hat or scarf?” its YA time now. 

i did manage to take 1 screenshot from this time, i had commented that before that when rowan said she didnt have many friedns that barnaby seemed to be hanging out with her without be there as a friend buffer and here was his reaction to her death:

;_;

the funniest part in all of this however, was of course cedericks reaction to rowans death “but she was so young....” LOL fuckin RIP.

lets see... what else.... i forget a lot of what happened but i think there was a time sensitive quidditch event in there somewhere? if so i  dont remember it. what i do remember of the quidditch pals is that im gonna play beater now, skye is being weird and cagey about it, andre is involved.... the others are there.....

sidenote, i love the shitty b characters they throw in to be like yes you know this person but no they are not cool enough for u to even think about befriending. the first one of those is face paint kid, and now we have another, who is a former beater girl with horrible bangs named bean who didnt go to any classes for a whole season so she could just play ball 24/7 and got kicked off the team.  this is a character who only exists to provide an explanation as to why there would be a beater position open but i love them on principle. 

right now im in the midst of another time sensitive event, this one is a bother-your-brother-at-work-day event where recent hogwarts graduate bill weasley is bullied by myself and his younger brother charlie into letting us go with him on one of his curse breaking jobs. 

so for those unfamiliar, bill works for the magical bank of england.... and his job seems to be “retrieving treasure” for said bank. in the books, there is a bit where he takes his family on one of his trips to egypt, where his job seemed to have been tomb plundering indiana jones style for the posterity of the english bank :X. i wont explain here why thats bad but its bad. 

the game devs however in this instance, at least SEEM to be doing what jkr couldnt do by attempting to salvage what is left of gringotts bank and form it into not a super shitty implications factory run by horrible jewish caricatures. bills mission is to retrieve a goblin made artifact that was taken by dragons, so no going to foreign countries to steal things from other people! only going to a dragon reserve to rifle through animal nests. they even appear to be providing us with a likable goblin character, egad!  

my hope for this event is that we get a plotline about how maybe, goblins arent shifty human haters for no reason, and in fact they hate magic humans for very understandable reasons, like being forced to go into hiding with the rest of the magical world even though only the humans wanted to do that, and maybe despite running the bank in england they still dont have a lot of political sway in the world of wizards and witches, and have to rely on the faith that said wizards and witches wont fuck them over at every turn, even as they see how they treat other non-humans, such as house elves, which they desperately dont want to end up like. and maybe they DONT only care about gold... maybe thats a human stereotype based on the fact that theres a long history of humans not respecting goblin ownership customs.... which i could get into..... but i wont.... i just....... very badly dont want them to suck ;__________;

i know i said its ok to still like a piece of media as long as you recognize the problems with it, and i do, but once this game is done im gonna stop hp posting all together. ive been feeling more and more uncomfortable making these posts lately.  

GENERAL GAME NOTES; theres been some new layout changes and such. 

most notably the stairs screen has been changed from a bulleted list of all locations to a screen with tiles picturing an image of each location along with the name + icons of all classes at each place. there is one additional location that is new and yet to be unlocked, and the dragon reservation is appearing temporarily as its own tile as well. i prefer this method of getting in and out of a temporary location to how they did it with car during the last christmas special. the stairs icon also now stays in the corner when you scroll through locations, allowing you to open the stairs menu without scrolling all the way back to the left. 

they also moved a few of the buttons down into the lower left corner rather than the left side & combined the story button and sidequest button. they added a little camera button as well, just like in the dormitory, that makes all the icons in a location disappear and look better for screenshots. 

the daily special add offer thing now has its own button in the top right corner of the screen, and idk if i mentioned it before but now there are daily challenges that appear in the sidequest screen that offer small rewards for completing 3 tasks per day + a better one if u get all 3. the prizes are things like 4 energy, 75 coins, 3 monster food. the better rewards are usually either more coins, 8 energy, 3 gems, or 1 notebook. i think that it does all the different color notebooks but i cant remember for sure if i ever saw the gold one up as a reward. i like this addition in any case. if you dont pick up ur reward by the end of the day, the next time u log on it will force u to stop and accept them, and if one of the rewards is energy and ur energy bar is full, it does not seem to stack beyond the bar so watch out.

 the character stats page is now more zoomed out so you can see your full character instead of just from the waist up. no change to the leaderboard. rowans face in the friendship roster is now a still black and white image that says ur friend may be gone but friendship is forever u-u. 

rowan has been removed from all classes. in the classes where the minigames involved her, those minigames have passed the mantle onto other friends in the class. in potions that person is now liz helping u find stuff off the shelves and in tranfiguration that person is badeea. bless these girls for helping mc get through it. touched my heart. 

theres been a few fun little “i know u have more free time now so uhhhh have some energy” prizes like they do sometimes when they dont update on schedule so thats been nice. just a few days ago they gifted us 3 gold notebooks the same way. :O. 

theres also been a few instances of a energy happy hour where for a limited time energy takes less time to refresh. normally it takes 4 mins for 1 energy to do this but during happy hour its like 2:30 mins. :U its all very interesting.

and that will have to do it for tonight my friends, ill do a post for the dragon event when its done because i do like it so far and i do like getting to bully bill with charlie. 

until next time, remember.......

Ah! Thank you, anon. (^ ▽^). I have to do a cut cause I didnt expect to be this long haha. And I stupidly reload this page, sorry, please bare with me. ^^”

From this ask

🌷 = favourite blogs 

Hmm, let’s see. I have a lot of favorites but I’ll just go with the ones I really look at!

@theslimeologist - The first Slime Rancher blog I followed! I love their contents. Sometimes they stream a few games which help me pass the time.

@aestheticvalley - The name says it all! Made cute and amazing Stardew Valley mods which I still need to figure out how to use it and very friendly. :D

@ironicicy - THE ONE ART BLOG WHO DREW MY TALES OF XILLIA 2 SHIP, JUDGER!! I love her art style and sometimes filled my Judger needs whenever I see them haha.

@ladyusada, @dimensionslip, @neylakiiroisenkou - These blogs I followed are mostly on updates and translations about the Tales of Series. Not seen often but I really appreciate their effort!!

💕 = tumblr friends 

OHOH BOY, HERE IT GOES!! Sorry, irl friends. Gotta tell the truth.

@hateehateeho & @u-r-n-s - MY CHILDHOOD PALS WHO’RE THE REASON I’M IN TUMBLR!! We’ve been friends for like uh 11 years now? The first one draws a lot and I love her artstyle, you can check it out but mostly she just crap post haha. While the other one rarely logs in but she‘s really good at writing and I’ll be honest, she really beat me on our English writing haha.

@minkh21 - Another irl friend of mine! She normally reblogs on Kpop stuff and writing prompts hehe.

@kirachama, @crytalstellar, @benichi, @plutoparfait, @shadi-ee, @applesr00, @amethystcria, @thehourofthemary, @soinlovewithbandguys, @thew0lfprince - Met these beautiful people in a Mystic Messenger Discord server~! Though I followed them before Mystic Messenger exist but became mutual, thanks to that haha. xD. There’s actually more of them but I’m not sure if I did follow them or forgot their urls.

@jessrine, @nerd-who-draws-too-much - Met them recently, thanks to coincidence and fandom. The first one, to my surprise, is in the same country as me! Yay! The other one does art too. We sometimes talk about Code Realize. xD

📖 = tell a story 

A story?? Hmm….Let’s see. This is probably a short one cause I dont have any interesting ones in the meantime haha. ^^”. So this was like last year’s incident. My family went to this mall to buy some food stock and there’s a grocery store at the lower floor. We were lining at this long queue because there’s only 2-3 counters opened. It was our turn and we’re really in a rush so I was in charge of putting the grocery on the counter, my hands were a lot more faster, not gonna lie. I was too busy with the items, I didnt notice the cashier until I was done. He wore glasses. THAT’S RIGHT, YOU HEARD ME! GLASSES. Anyways, I was really stunned at how professional he looks with the uniform and hairstyle, but my reaction was just “Oh, he wear glasses. Nice.“

BUT THEN, I was helping pushing the items forward to make it more quicker for him. He took one of them and accidentally hit my face. I was so shook but it wasnt that painful. But the one part is how the guy reacted. He was apologizing and his face almost like he’s gonna cry. I told him it was okay and it doesnt hurt. But god, his worried face was really cute, it felt like the world just stopped. He even asked me if there’s anything he could do but I just said “It’s okay, the line is long so I understand that you’re hurrying.“ Even though his face was really guilty but the fact I got to see his clumsy side was really adorable.
