walking into my rhodes island office, hanging up my coat, pushing W and Ines off my desk, wiping off the blood, and opening a message from Kal that says 'kill yourself' and then is followed by 'ignore that last message'. I nod thoughtfully and ignore that last message. I take a sip of my coffee. It's Muelsyse. I spit her out into the sink. I open the cabinet and get a new mug. Ho'olheyak is in the cabinet. I sit down at my desk and respond affirmatively to the email from Platnium asking me if Gravel has been bothering me. (This gets them into a subtext filled deathmatch, which is enrichment in their enclosure.) I respond to Amiya's last cute text emoji with a ':P', which she likes within 10 seconds. I clock out. I get a beer with Hoederer and Pallas. They get into a poetry battle in 3 different languages. 5 minutes of downtime. 6 hours of brooding on the landship considering the burden of the world (in the rain.) Amiya shows up with an umbrella eventually. She asks me how my day was. I say: good.

Yeah, I love FF14

METEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

I’ve been thinking for a while about putting together an “Arknights rawest line” bracket but I think there’s maybe no point because now there is the line “May my bullet forgive what my heart cannot” and there’s no point running any contest when there is an obvious winner

She deserves a day off, dokutah...

so @lilyblackdrawside and i were discussing how the heck manticore sleeps with that massive scorpion tail... sleeping on her stomach feels like it'd be uncomfortable, and it'd just leave her tail to drape off the bed. i didn't think a standard mattress could be modified to accommodate her comfortably (boring a hole in the damn thing ain't exactly feasible, yk?) so lily suggests that, rather than a traditional bed, she'd have a heated sandpit. IMAGINE IT lightly knocking on her dorm door with "hey manti, you awake?", u poke your head in and take a look... the sandpit in the corner appears to be empty. but suddenly the sand begins to stir and shift, and the two little headwings and tip of tail poking out fizzle into view...

she half-crawls out all sleepytired and rests her chin on the edge (i don't imagine she's a morning person), eyes crusted with sand and not at all ready to get up anytime soon. IT'S FUCKIN CUTE AAAAAAAUUAOIUEOHGOAHIGHSPAFH also! consider the following:

Happy birthday, Saria!

It’s her day

they went shopping

antagonist + female lead from the k-drama (they kissed)

The operator with the "eating pussy" idle animation is a warmonger???

"Hiiiiiii, I'm Carlie! I'm gonna blow you the fuck up♡"

Hi! As someone newer to ak, I would actually really love a “rawest Ak lines” list if u don’t mind sharing!

Okay so if I *did* run this, I would have to crowdsource some, because I haven't read everything, and I don't always remember to update my document when I do read shit. So my list is extremely biased, extremely incomplete, and very all over the fucking place. Do not take this as a comprehensive list, but rather just some of my favorites:

Patriot: "Rhodes Island. I will advance." A classic. A legend. A salsa that everyone at the table can enjoy.

Rosmontis: "You didn't want to die alone. You want to be remembered by me, and live on within me. But no. I came here just to watch you die. And now, I've forgotten you."

Eblana: "You'll remember me, shapeshifter. Your long and refractory memory will have chapters that belong to me." (not the official translation but I'm using this one because it goes SOOOO much harder)

Andoain: "I would rather be the torch that burns by the feet of those who are freezing to death. Even if its flame will soon be extinguished."

In game boss description text for Kristen Wright: Egotist. Betrayer. Seeker. Loner. Pioneer. Goodnight, Terra.

and of course, Woodrow: "May this bullet forgive what my heart cannot."

and then of course, Stultifera Navis, which has so many it was basically a contest to see who got the coolest line before the event ended. I have literally 8 lines in my notes document, my favorites being:

Irene: "You have not sinned in any way. The Holy Scriptures do not even mention your existence. Right now it is only I, as an Iberian, who is handing down this verdict. The scourge of the seas must be wiped out. You have no right to live. In the name of Iberia."

Carmen: “You, and your pathetic ideas, will be buried in Iberia. Before your last breath, be sure to pass on our thunderous roar to your kin. ‘The sea faces an ancient enemy called civilization, one you stand no chance of overcoming.'”

Captain Alfonso: “Remember this well, Irene! Return to land and sing the praises of Alfonso's feats! The last monster that Alfonso slew... was himself!”

Ulpianus: “If you care about the word of God, then so be it. The Seaborn are not gods, nor are their forefathers. I have seen how your gods die, their screams coursing through the currents, their flesh and blood smeared across abyssal ravines.”

I think for the sake of the hypothetical bracket, I'd probably want to limit it to one line per event before the entire thing is consumed entirely by just Stultifera Navis
