Just Had Some Thoughts On Soulsborne Games And Specifically The Fanbase:

It's literally damage over time, I am bedridden---weak. Blehhh

I must hate myself something fierce because I thought it would be smart to eat ice cream. I'm lactose intolerant and I would like to write my fanfiction now please and thank you. I swear I do this type of shit every day and I never learn.

"Maybe it'll work out this time" no, shut up phoseo, it won't

ao3 turns 15 today

reblog if youre older than ao3

(there's a lot of people asking about this, but the legal age to use social media is 13, except in few countries. so yes, there are people here under 15)

diaphos fans come out of hiding PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

So I went through almost all of Raya Lucaria today, I think theres some items on cliffs and rooftops I still need to get, but I'm just gonna circle back in the future. Some notes:

1. The Iron Virgin past the Red Wolf boss is super creepy and uncomfortable, I did not enjoy being grabbed by it even though it did low damage relative to my 40 vigor healthbar.

2. I really really don't enjoy Putrid Corpses or any of their varietals, the less I have to deal with them the better. I dont know if its some kind of zombie phobia, I'm fine with skeletons, but the corpses scare the crap out of me, especially ones that continually respawn (i.e. Impaler's Catacombs).

3. Both of the bosses in the Academy were pretty easy at the level I'm at (mid 60s), and I genuinely enjoy fighting the puppet enemies, they're so interesting.

4. Between the Academy and Stormveil, the legacy dungeons carry the classic Dark Souls vibe the most imo. Vast ruins slowly being reclaimed by time, filled with the twisted forms of the previous denizens.

5. The Sorcerers are easy to cheese, Longbow+Stormhawk arrows is good (though now I need more feathers from Stormveil).

Not really sure what I'll do next in the game, I definitely don't want to move to the Altus plateau too soon, and I intend to go for the Age of Stars ending, so I suppose I need to work on getting into the Carian Manor? A challenge for a while from now, ought to shift back to other hobbies with such a distinct rest point.

You ever spend a few years trying to mould yourself to suit someone else and what they like but it doesn't work? And then you get out of that, because its obviously unhealthy, but then youre stuck not knowing who you are or what you like, romantically, so you just sort of flounder. Then you dont meet people ever or know how to meet people, so its less like digging a hole deeper and more like standing in quicksand. When your only standard becomes "someone who likes me" because you've already experienced being with someone who didn't and learned not much else.

I think being a puritan, especially openly, when it comes to fandom is a bad thing, actually. How have people lost the plot when it comes to making and engaging with fanfiction especially??

"Don't yuck someone's yum"

"If you want to see it sometimes you have to make it"

"Don't like, don't read"

"It costs $0 to be kind"

All of these should be commonly understood as How You Interact In A Community, yet still, people don't get it.

(Poll submitted by @megacorpo-hyperreality)

That's you, dear viewer. Yes, you. Without any powers either. And you have to fight one. Which one would you be best able to take (in a fight)?

Make sure to tell me what you think and why you think it!

note that this poll is meant to represent romantic (though not necessarily sexual) ships, not your favorite QPR. If you like, say, Aisha/Alec or Lisa/Taylor as strictly platonic partners, but only in this scenario, then please don't pick it as your favorite ship!

Other less popular taylor ships (like Taylor/Alec) are not included in this poll, I will be posting a second poll with Taylor-specific ships later

make sure to tell me what you think and why you think it!
