#so tactical so late

[figscigfigs]

yall this just occurred to me (please forgive me if everyone else already figured this out and i’m just behind the curve) but in the fhjy pre-season bts murph says:

when this came out i assumed it was about something ally did because the other bts mentioned big choices ally makes. but this is definitely about so tactical, so late. there’s literally no way it about anything else.

#help #why am i just realizing this now that’s so mf funny #dimension 20 #fantasy high #fantasy high junior year #fhjy #d20 fhjy #brian murphy #riz gukgak #so tactical so late #night yorb #brennan lee mulligan #i am also still very intrigued by the butter jellies i need to know

Murph absolutely losing it over the tactical (but LATE) guys at the end of the night yorb fight made me die laughing. I had to pause it thinking he'd pull it together soon and I should dry my tears only to resume it and he continued crying about it. I haven't laughed that hard in a while.

I don't think I've really sat down and let enough sink in about how brutally real Riz's whole deal is this season. It's a kid raised by his single mother, reckoning with his father's absence, who never had any true friends until this gang of bumblefucks. And now he's faced with a future where his friends failing school is not the problem, no, what's really stressing him out is figuring out how the hell he gets it to where they all end up in the same place. How does he keep them together. Because at the end of the day simply passing isn't gonna cut it if they all go down different roads and he ends up alone all over again.

The feeling of being a kid who has been bullied their entire life, finally acquiring good friends who make you happy, and then the nauseating dread and panic when you start to realize that it can't last forever. Murph you fucking criminal.

#i dont know why its just NOW clicking for me #im having a very so tactical so late response #like i know this feeling so intimately they could confiscate my ace card lol #dimension 20 #d20 #fantasy high junior year #fhjy spoilers #fhjy #riz gukgak #brian murphy #i love riz

Time Quangle Potential Impact List V.1

-Aelwyn very much looks like she's in her mid-20's. Additionally, she's fully not qualified to be a middle school teacher. That's 100% a job that requires the completion of at least a bachelor's degree and last time we saw her she hadn't gone off to college yet.

-I don't care how "interesting" or "refreshing" your New Age religious revival is, 60,000 members would take FOREVER to accumulate. (Also I know Tracker is a teenage lesbian so she might just move fast, but her having potentially a new girlfriend who's been around for a while seems...fast.)

-If last season took place during Spring Break and the Night Yorb adventure occurred in the summer, when would Fig and Kristen have missed a bunch of classes? Why would that be coming up the day before school starts a new academic year, at the end of summer, when there were no classes to miss?

-Fabian turning 18?????

-The Cig Figs album being 10 months late when there's MAX 5 months between her mentioning it last season and "now"

-So tactical, so late

There's probably a bunch I'm missing since I haven't watched The Seven, but that's what stood out to me so far. Ragh's timeline also feels a little funky to me...

#i dont think it's strange that Aelwyn moved out #she fully doesn't know Jawbone or Sandra Lynn #so I can imagine being in the manor without Adaine was awkward #but middle school teacher isn't a job you typically just roll into #fantasy high junior year #d20 fhjy #fhjy spoilers #why am i the only Time Quangle scholar #or whatever the tag is #aelwyn abernant #time quangle #trackerbees #fabian aramais seacaster #so tactical #so late

normally Id wait for the official art and not the promotional ones but Touch the Dream did this and I need everyone to see

great news for us, probably bad news for Atsumu

I'll update on whoever else they decide to give tactical weaponry.

#so tactical... so late... #haikyuu touch the dream #haikyuu official art #haikyuu suna #suna rintarou

the mass hysteria happening because two dudes showed up so so so late to this fight is killing me. tears in my eyes

#murph fully crying was the last straw for me #man I missed fantasy high #fhjy #dimension 20 #‘they’re SO tactical and SO late’

i found an ao3 script that tells you how many times a certain word or phrase was used in a fic without having to open it

and on one hand its very nice not having to look

but on the other scrolling past multiple 50k+ fics with Percy tagged where he's mentioned less then like 30 times is very ridiculous

#percy weasley #ik ive bitched about this before but i really thought i was just being dramatic lately #but seeing the actual numbers is making my brain just so confused #like what is the reasoning for this is it like the tagging to avoid tactic i just don't understand #like over 50k words man 50k words with Percy used 7 times! why tag him! what is your logic how does your brain work i need to know #but overall a nice little tool that combined with the tags/summary could be pretty useful #since unlike opening and ctrl+f i dont feel tempted to go through the fic as much #also neat seeing that I apparently use Percy's name around 6ish times for every 500 words #and overall so far ive used his name 723 times

the same thing has been bothering me about sunak's speech today that got to me during the shitshow following the snp opposition vote for a ceasefire. every time someone takes a fundamental stance of solidarity with the palestinian people we somehow manage to get sidetracked into whining about our beloved 'demoracy'. protestors are extremists, this is a threat to our 'democracy'. labour want to vote on their specific cowardly way of calling for a ceasefire, if they aren't allowed it's a threat to our 'democracy'.

and lo and behold we have been manipulated into spending the following few days relitigating on what the principles of a western liberal democracy are rather than talking about the atrocities being committed against the palestinian people.

and throughout none of this does anyone even stop to question the obvious. since our beloved 'democracy' clearly finds genocide not just permissable but in fact favourable, maybe it should be threatened. pressured and strained until it falls apart under the weight of its own hypocrisy and inhumanity.

#maybe i should put these rants under a cut #same could be said for the dem primaries in the us #i know this is a tried and true liberal tactic but the cycle is repeating so quickly lately its dizzying #uk politics

[deepsixsquid]

Yeah, even I have no idea how that worked But I shall not question it

#nocturne shenanigans #splatoon #splatoon 3 #I remember being on autopilot for most of this match #been messin with roller a bit lately and it's been kinda funky #in the sense that I can still use my ambush tactics but I need to set things up differently #I also find it easier to turn my brain off with it #that and I was listening to TOOL at the time and that's dark psychedelic stuff #But I definitely vibe with it so far! #also no I have no idea how they managed to miss me AND IT KEEPS HAPPENING

just rewatched murph's junior year bts and i gotta say that him saying 'theres something so dumb and funny in the season that absolutely breaks me, so look forward to that' did not disappoint

Heartbreak, midnight, mistake for Mel if they haven’t been asked and actually can you dow them for Felix too, cause why not.

heartbreak: Have they ever had a relationship that ended badly? Experienced some other kind of heartbreak? What happened?

biting my fist I wish I had better answers for this because I love this question. The problem with both felix and mel is that they are in their 50s and 60s respectively, which isn't very many for a gnome but is still just A Lot Of Years for me, an idiot, to fill with life experiences and I've mostly been really bad about doing that kfgjhdgj.

Melliwyk has always been really bad at relationships in general; she's dated a little, mostly very casually, but especially once she was in the academy she fell pretty hard into 'yes yes yes I'll go socialize when I'm done working on this' chaining one project into the next ad infinitum, especially after the experiment backfire explosion that gave her a reputation as this sort of ruthless researcher and resulted in kind of a feedback loop of people assuming she preferred to be left alone, which meant fewer people bugging her into socializing once in awhile, which reinforced her perception as a loner, etc. I think she's been in at least a handful of relationships with people she really liked that could have been serious but just... sort of fell apart; more regrets than outright heartbreaks.

Honestly as of current canon, I think the worst outright heartbreak Mel's had that I know of was being attacked by, and then losing, her house's ghost as soon as she found out he was real the whole time; aside from Baxter, he was her only friend for years and years, even if only an 'imaginary' one, and it was a gut punch to, essentially, finally find him but then immediately lose him forever.

Felix has even less canon backstory I could tell you about right now, alas :') He's been in very few meaningful relationships; he's not good at putting himself out there, and having a brief encounter with a stranger is a lot easier to navigate than... well, someone else being disappointed with the way he is as a whole person. To be fair, I don't think he's been openly rejected a lot, but the way he sort of expects it shapes his behavior such that it makes it harder for others to get that close to him in the first place. I can very much see him having had his heart broken before, but I'd have to get back to you on specifics ^^; These days he mostly keeps to himself; he likes people, but it's easier for him to be around them than to be one of them.

I am incapable of brevity! The rest under the cut!

midnight: What keeps your OC up at night? Do they have nightmares? Fears? Anxieties? What do they do in the small hours of the morning when they should be sleeping?

Melliwyk is up working. She'd be up working anyway, but especially if she's upset-- working tirelessly, if not relentlessly. She's not good with emotions; she processes things by keeping busy, either looking for Solutions or just looking to throw herself into something productive rather than having to feel her feelings. This is overlapping really neatly with her current major source of stress, which is that everything she's working on is deeply important, and anything she neglects in order to work on those things is also deeply important, and other people are getting hurt and will continue to get hurt if she can't prioritize tasks correctly or do enough quickly enough and well enough. She doesn't have time for fears! Or anxieties! Or sleep! Or dinner! And it's great! After all, she loves her work! She's interested! Passionate! No downsides!! She doesn't have nightmares because the reason she wears that goofy hat at all times is literally to magically prevent nightmares, but I bet if she slept without it her nightmares would be real interesting right now :)

The facetious answer for Felix is: his sleep schedule is sort of unusual, so when he's up in the small hours it's normal and he's getting up to whatever his normal gnome business is, lol. But in the proper spirit of the question:

He lost a lot of sleep after the mysterious encounter that took a chunk of his memory and left a strange mark on his skin. In general, Felix is not immune to getting too invested in [area of interest] and staying up way too late, so he's certainly lost sleep working on/ thinking over really interesting mysteries before, but that situation has so many unknowns, has so many worrying or grim implications, has given him so much to think about and yet so little to actually work with...! The fact that he can't remember getting back to town is what upsets him the most. He's found himself (or put himself) in a lot of really dangerous situations, but he's always had control of his own mind and body before, even when he's been physically overpowered by others.

More generally, sometimes he'll learn something or uncover some secret that he ends up losing sleep over, especially if it's information about something bad that he doesn't feel like he can actually act on. The city he spends most of his time in is less-than-secretly controlled by a powerful criminal guild, so he has to maintain a really delicate balance between snooping around a lot just because that's what interests him anyway, helping others as much as he can, but also staying out of the way of the guild and the law enough that the worst either of them do is, you know, beat him up a little and/or throw him in jail for a couple days, rather than deciding it'd be better if he Just Disappeared.

If he's worried or anxious and can't sleep over it, he'll generally go for a walk, or go sit on a roof for awhile, or sit somewhere and draw if the weather's bad. He doesn't have a lot of nightmares, but when he does they're often about being trapped somewhere and being unable to call for help, or seeing people pass by who can't seem to see or hear him (all of which he stubbornly refuses to read into).

mistake: What’s the worst mistake your OC ever made? What led to them making it? Have they been able to fix it? How have they moved on?

A little while back, Melliwyk's party returned from a ground excursion to find our airship under attack by a powerful archmage, her personal bodyguard, a bunch of summoned fiends, and a crew of elite soldiers; as soon as she managed to get back on deck Melliwyk launched a fireball at the archmage and then moved toward the cabin looking to get cover inside, and the archmage returned with a massive flamestrike right on top of Mel, who... had just run directly to where most of the crew of the ship were, all of whom had already taken damage before we got there. Our first mate went down, and we managed to get him just inside the door to the stairs leading belowdecks, but before any healers could reach him a previously invisible imp stung him, killing him instantly, right at Melliwyk's feet.

And the thing is. Maybe it wouldn't have mattered whether she, personally, drew fire to him; he had already been pretty hurt, and it was a rough battle for everyone, and there's no reason to believe the archmage still wouldn't have dropped a big AOE on half the ship. And maybe it's perfectly reasonable that Melliwyk, a wizard, a transmutation wizard, didn't try to use her entire action in the middle of a pitched battle to try to stabilize him when there were no obvious enemies nearby, and an actual healer was literally feet away, running to help him. Maybe. But she can only think that it was so, so stupid of her, that if she'd just thought for one second, for once-- ... anyway. The next week or so were all 'Mel doesn't leave her room or speak to anyone' days. Working. Relentlessly. She'd already been working on figuring out a method to use her newly-learned insights into artificing to cast spells, but the first spells she actually programmed into the device she was working on were spare the dying, cure wounds, and revivify.

Felix bit off more than he could chew; he was following the trail of some weird rumors in a smaller town, hoping to find a connection to a string of recent petty thefts he'd been looking into, but he underestimated what kind of people he was dealing with-- both in terms of skills, and of how serious their operation actually was. He got caught pretty deep into their base of operations, way too deep for any attempt at plausible deniability, and after beating the shit out of him they opted to just tie him up and leave him in an abandoned and mostly blocked-off sewer passage to die, rather than kill him outright. He only escaped by convincing the rats to chew through the ropes, quickly made his way out of the city by staying belowground for as long as possible, and has never been back since-- there's a chance they forgot about him immediately, but there's also a very good chance that they'd be really upset if that guy who Knows Too Much is still just running around like a dangerous loose thread.

It was just-- well, maybe not cockiness, he's not exactly the cocky type, but certainly carelessness. He got sloppy, over-interested and under-cautious; he hadn't really expected to be dealing with people who'd be able to catch him so easily, much less that he'd be in any serious danger if they did. He was expecting, like, a gang of teenagers at worst-- not not a threat, but people he could maybe stand up to in a fight, or wriggle free from pretty easily, or who at the very least wouldn't try to fucking kill him. This would have been fairly early in his career (so to speak) of trying to tail people and break into places for actual, like, private investigation reasons rather than pure curiosity, so he didn't have a good handle on the risks, or the stakes; he's (usually) a lot more careful nowadays, although sometimes he still can't resist pushing his luck.

ask about my OCs?

On the whole goncharov/zepotha thingy, I think that an artist has to market themselves somehow, and zepotha WAS clever. It was also not really posible for the artist to somehow be in control on how the bit was gonna be managed. I do think that the contest thing is shitty. Of course that when it comes to the artistry of the basic idea itself, said artist could do better, but even if they did, goddeness knows if they would be as succesfull as as they are with zepotha rn. Marketing is hard yall, just saying. I also like the song

#zepotha #pretty sure I am super late to the party #i dont know how to see dates on this app #anyway #feel free to dissagree #im kinda curious what tumblr thinks promoting a song should be so that it doesnt end up a cheap marketing tactic
