#for now im just gonna enjoy the game
Text
I feel like I'm in the middle of crossfire between 'go touch grass' and 'video game projection is my life' people
#i like to talk about my favourite video games like it's serious knowing theyre fictional and its not that deep#wotever im just gonna... continue doing my thing over there 👹#to note: im just surprised that this situation is NOW gaining fronts about something so personal as enjoying video games 😂#both sides not minding their business at all#this was prompted out of this person shitting on spawn astarion and being too dramatic over ascended being god's favourite or something#why is it so deep#but also why not get deep 😂 just dont shit on ppl when u do it#its a good thing that an online community will find menial reasons to dispute against each other👹

light-hearted scribblings today
#witch hat tag#orufrey#last ones kinda in relation to a line from “kinou nani tabeta” a BL about an ageing gay couple who cook. that shirahama enjoys. of course#cause oru just looks like a stereotypical japanese gay guy and it's endearing to me.#Will we ever learn literally anything about his family and more than one page about his past. Will we though.#i was gonna draw more today but every day. Every day there is baldur's gate 3. even now#i love witch hat kitchen so much. i love waking up and thinking about my gay witches and playin my lil game im glad im alive and safe.

Just a small unasked-for update, since I said I'd update in a week and it's been almost two
Because this is how I have spent the majority of my free time last week
Not even done, re-written 5 different scenes, haven't done a re-read over half of it. I'm so deep in the trenches with this one there is so much baked in here... I hope you guys like a million random scenes that don't *have* to exist, but do.
(Also like 3 hours of that Firefox time is "research" aka watching baseball for this chapter)
#im starting to grow concerned that im overwriting#i mean i should have been concerned awhile ago#but. idk its not like theres any actual rules#i can have fun with them right...#im guessing most people just enjoy the dynamic and arent like. eager for this thing to have a climax and a conclusion#but if im wrong maybe i should stop writing chapters this long lmfao#cos a chunk of it really can just stay in my head...or i can cut#but i kinda assume people just wanna read it all#i guess we'll see!#ok im gonna try and finish this thing now#i est. i still have like 2k words to add... lol#what was i saying about overwriting?#ok it will probs get easier when im not trying to write scenes alongside a 4.5hr baseball game#ok bye#sugar daddy au

old drawing I never posted. i like these two freaks, I should draw them more
#rubin#skironir#oc#rukaan#humanization#skironir is fully on board with the murder for the record. She likes rubin because he loves to kill people and she thinks it's cool and fun#someone warned her when she was like human-nineteen (im not sure how to translate caribou ages to humans LMAO could've been#anywhere from 19 to 25ish) that there was a weird loner freak eating out of the garbage and threatening people with knives and she went#'damn thats crazy. hes kinda hot. im gonna be his friend'#rubin (also approximately the same age as her) was like 'ive never had a friend before and im not going to start now. fuck off'#and then failed so hard at not having any friends that he fell in love like an idiot and now he's stuck with her forever and she can't get#rid of him. which works for skironir because she would be very sad if she did get rid of him#im not sure im gonna keep the she/her pronouns for skir. in all the stuff i've written for the deer game with skir i use he/him#but rubin using he/him pronouns in the mg!au also trips me up a bunch because i keep being like this is girl rubin he's a girl i made him#into a girl and now he's a girl. and then i get lost in the pronoun weeds LMAO#you undrestand#anyway i enjoy them a lot#very straightforward characters. they roll into town. they cause problems. they kill someone. they leave#i should make magical girl katjaana straight up just a dude. for balance. a dude who uses she/her and turns into a magical girl also#or maybe i could go full tuxedo mask with her.... idk

I just wanted to apologize to my classic whotuals for all the dead boy detectives spamming, but it's also important to me that you guys know two things:
a) I've become aware that a lot of what appeals to me about dead boy detectives is, on a kind of conceptual/thematic level, the same stuff that I love about my favorite eras of dr who, and 6b in particular
And I tell you this not as an advertising tactic but as a genuine PSA for anyone following me because:
b) Being me & having realized this, I know I'm definitely gonna wind up posting some unnecessarily long-winded analysis/comparison, pop it in the main tags for the sake of organization on my own blog, and subsequently confuse a hell of a lot of people there who either have no idea what I'm talking about or simply don't view either piece of media in the same light as I do to begin with
So I just wanted to reassure everyone that at least you're not suffering alone, as I will soon be inflicting the reverse bait-and-switch upon others!
That's all! continue w ur scrolling <3
#i hope this is clear but im REALLY not trying to be like coy or intriguing here#this post is not remotely intended to convince anyone to watch dead boy detectives on the grounds that it's similar to 60s who#in ways which i've conveniently failed to elaborate upon & so you'll just HAVE to go see for yourself#(firstly bc when i want to sing something's praises i will upfront & unapologetically)#(& secondly bc im not super into telling people to watch things in general unless they're actively seeking a rec)#honestly this (now very overhyped) future post of mine is going to be more about like#me recognizing i have A Type when it comes to stories/underpinning narrative backdrops in fiction (if thats not too pretentious)#and much less of a 'well if you like x then you'll definitely love y bc i do & we all enjoy things in the same way & for the same reasons'#and i find it funny that nobody will care - bc it'll incomprehensible to all but about 5 people who have the full context#& half of those 5 will probably still disagree w my perspective/interpretation of one or both -#but im gonna do it anyway bc what else am i supposed to do w these thoughts! keep them to myself??? dont be absurd#that said though if you are debating watching dbd and would like to chat about it to push yourself in one direction or another#im happy to do so! especially if you have questions about it in relation to some other shared interest you actually did follow me for lol#im always game for that sort of thing & yes i am of the opinion that its a good & fun & rich show all on its own

how was playing hsr? was there anything that you liked in the game and the story?
ITS BEEN AMAZING AS EXPECTED!!!!!!!!! i actually havent played genshin in a while since starting it, i have no motivation to do the filler event while a perfectly good star rail is sitting there waiting to be played :')
but for mechanics, i love they have auto battle so you dont have to nessecarily sit there and invest in every little battle you gotta do....and i love that the resin (resin??) system is a lot more forgiving with a higher cap, lower cost, and allow for overflow...thats nice...i also love that the mc and starter units are very useful. im so emotionally attatched to the star rail crew so im glad they never have to leave my team !!!!
storywise im LOVING IT SO FAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i started playing it at the beginning of spring break 2 weeks ago and im almost all caught up!!! i went through belabog and penacony and now im just doing those leftover intermission main quests which im only now realizing i shouldve done before going to penacony LMAO
and of course.....danmarch....im so soft for them......and also i love sampo i cant wait to see what they do with him
#besides the star rail crew and sampo im not too attatched to anyone else#im very much a (what would happen in canon) type of player so the only units i REALLY want are himeko welt and imbibitor lunae#(and sampo)#everyone else i can go without#so this game is probably gonna be a lot better for my wallet#overall it just like it better than genshin minus the open world part#i like the story and characters...i like that you can play as bad guys while theyre still bad guys???? like blade and kafka???#cuz in genshin you always gotta redeem them somehow first before theyre playable#not here hueheuhe#also i love that they actually kill off playable characters#(spoilers from here on out)#i know were supposed to be all sad for fireflys death but honestly.......i didnt care about her too much LMAO#i was actually a little annoyed for the secret base part because her base was SO FUCKING DEEP IN ENEMY TERRITORY#i was like (damn bitch how far away is this shit??!)#that by the time we got to the emotional part i was just mad#i never liked characters where the game tries to like....force you to care about them#and its implied you have some super close relationship ESPECIALLY when you havent known them long#now if march died that would be a whole different story#but firefly??? i mean rip but i didnt really know her#im loving the penacony quest so far though#any setting where its like a place of mind tricks and gambling and spending money and sin is always so scary to me#especially the dream within a dream within a dream shit#the mind fuck aspect is always a good plot that i enjoy#i also love that theyre not afraid to upgrade units#like we have dan heng and the dragon dan heng#so characters arnt stagnent forever#everyday i hope we one day get to see a 5-star secret power march#cuz that girl has some shit going on i swear#i just did her luofu memory quest#and those fuckers in the garden of recollection............

[ID: a cover image for the game "advanced darning & dragons". it has the title in large dark brown text in a somewhat cursive handwritten style font. in smaller dark blue letters at the bottom it reads "enlarged for your viewing ease - are you due for your eye exam?". the background is a wall of shelves with many different skeins of yarn in different colors. there is a slightly transparent light tan textbox behind the letters that is shaped like a rough piece of paper. end ID]
Your name is [redacted] and you’ve been writing [series title removed by editor] for decades. It has everything – adventure, conquest, romance, betrayal, heroism, and of course, wizards and dragons and stuff like that, as all good high fantasy series need. What can you say, you’re a good writer!
The thing is, you’ve been writing under a penname, so no one knows you’re the author. Which is a really good thing, considering the plots of your novels may be a little … inspired. Not stolen. Just. Lightly lifted.
From very specific people.
Namely, your long-time knitting group, [title removed due to identifiable information], that meets at the [removed] Community Center every Thursday at 2.
Some people come, some people go, but it’s always good material.
---
In Advanced Darning & Dragons solo mode, you need a 4 sided die, an 8 sided die, tarot cards, and a way to write. You'll generate elderly people using the knitter table, draw tarot cards to inspire their gossip of the week, and then write in your journal how you're transforming that into a high-stakes, campy, high fantasy adventure.
In multiplayer mode, you'll need an 8 sided die, tarot cards, a way to write, and 3-6 players (no GM necessary). Each player will create their Oldsona, draw tarot cards to generate their gossip of the week, and then will assign themselves a fantasy archetype and their plot beat for the chapter. Players will casually gossip as their oldsonas (perhaps even while really doing handcrafts!) and will write down their guesses as to what the other player's archetypes and plot beats were. When everyone is done, players will write a short chapter outline, share them aloud, and then will be assigned writer's awards like "most grimdark fantasy" or "most slapstick".
Advanced Darning & Dragons is a silly comedy game that's meant to put the fun back in writing. It's available free / pwyw so everyone has a chance to bring a little humor to their lives!
get the game free / PWYW on itch or kofi!!
#ttrpg#indie ttrpg#journaling rpg#journaling game#high fantasy#just a silly little one for yall :o)#i want to post freebies regularly cause i know were all Going Thru It and could use with some fun stuff#so im gonna try to post at least one a month#or do community copies of more expensive games#i hope yall enjoy this one!!!#the friend i made this for started playing it and got the writer itch so hard she's working on a new novel now lmaoo#may it inspire great writings in you all

i've realized what it is that pisses me the fuck off about baldur's gate 3
you need to have a guide up at all times in order to play the way you want to because the game is horribly unclear about which choice is the correct one and what you need to do in order to progress certain things.
i just lost like four hours of progress because i didn't trigger a specific sidequest when i was supposed to in order to recruit halsin to my party and made it all the way to act 3 before i realized "wait a minute this bitch never joined me"
but literally how the fuck was i supposed to know that i had to go talk to some random guy on a bed in town and that i had to do it before a specific point in act 2
i'm not saying you need to put quest markers over people's heads, but giving the player SOME kind of indication of what the fuck they're supposed to be looking for is a part of good game design. and yes i know the idea of bg3 is to immerse urself and roleplay but like
as a counterpoint to that
the percentage of people who are actually going to take the time to talk to every single last goddamn NPC when most of them have nothing of value to say is very very very low. so give me SOMETHING. jesus christ.
and in the four hours i lost are three extremely annoying fights that i basically had to save scum my way through and uuugggghhhhh
#i actually restarted bg3 from the beginning with a new character because like#i was just following my gut in my first playthrough and it ended up with me locking myself out of shit#and getting characters killed#and i wasn't having fun#because i can't predict what this game deems the 'correct' course of action#but now playing with a guide up is#well it's more fun#but it's still not fun#this is not the game for me#but im full sunk cost fallacy now so#im gonna finish it#but i won't enjoy it

it's fun to look through datamined stuff but I need some of you to stop getting mad at larian for scrapping ideas you thought were cool. cool doesn't mean it'll make sense in the overarching story, and maybe larian likes this version better, or sometimes ideas just didn't work well with what they had in mind. I know this first hand from writing stories, I'll have cool ideas but realize later it doesn't fit the original tone of the story. it's okay to scrap stuff, but you can always use it for something else.
also, like it or not, it's larians game first, their story, their characters (I know.), it doesn't matter if we think something is cool, the reality is that not everything works in the end. and that's fine. that's how all art is, it's alive and ever-shifting, it'll go through many, many, versions, to the point where you might get sick of chewing on the same plot, and in the end the final version might not be as good as you thought when you look back in a few months or years. and that's ok. art isn't supposed to be perfect.
everything is subjective and I think fandoms would be a more intellectual place if people learned to critique art for what it is not what it isn't.
#of course don't get me wrong i have my own issues with the game that completely counters my point#but im not gonna sit around being upset over what could've been#overall i enjoyed bg3 i wouldn't have 600hrs if i didn't#to me this is like asking why an artist painted the forest instead of the dragon that was just out of frame#ofc you think the dragon is cooler but if the artist never told you they went to the dragon forest youd appreciate the forest for what it i#in art its like. the negatives elevate your subject. sometimes less is more no matter how cool it is#idk if im making sense ive been feeling sentimental about art recently and this is my favourite philosophy when it comes to my work#this isn't to say roll over and accept any art. always be critical always be a hater but the skill is knowing when and how#also im a believer of steal like an artist so if larian had cool ideas they didn't use? guess what? yours now. go crazy#i didn't mean for this to turn into a philosophy lesson on art but. theyre related#can you tell that ive gone insane from rewriting the same story bc i couldn't decide which version i liked better. i finally got it tho yay#oh god typo in the gc.... kill him . im not fixing that#six speaks#bg3#larian critical

I still think obey me would have had an easier time writing better characters if they had actual routes (includes harem route) and better story segment to rhythm game ratios
#An essay by me#I want the story to rhythm game ratio to be closer to twisted wonderland so i can actually enjoy the story!#i like the rhythm aspect#its way more fun than in the original game#and the music is catchy! but every 2 minutes to progress is kinda urghhh#and yes we can have 1 on 1 routes and harem routes in the same game!#it doesnt have to be one or the other#now you've calmed down the people who are either sick of mammon and lucifer or love satan and asmo lol#people who like the side characters can get their juice too instead of crawling under the couch for crumbs#and people who like romancing everyone at once are still happy#AND ALL the characters will become more well rounded because everyones not limited to their 1-10 seconds of screentime#nb has been doing a good job with giving the characters depth but im scared what might happen in the future#is the game just gonna go on forever with no planned ending?#im sure this is a topic people are tired of but its my blog okay!#i pretty much treat this as a public journal#and i love latching onto stuff i think has potential but never fully reaches it#what im saying is be more like mystic messenger lol#obey me#obey me nb
