I'm probably not the first person to consider this but I am absolutely turning Lv 1 into a mythical creature from Coerthan/Ishgardian folklore for my personal canon

+ inappropriate-seeming agitation when even gently contradicted,

Liking the "perfect albums that came out when you were 16" meme but it is a complex minefield of incredible and formative music which is associated with both great and very painful memories

Sometimes I don't engage with my hobbies even though I know they will help me because of depression but then I force myself to put music on and immediately stumble across something like this and remember why it's so important

This is the biggest fashion revolution since glamour was added to begin with holy fuck. I never thought I would see this day

also, hello, I have had to distance myself from being online in a personal capacity. Will probably stay this way for the near future but it can be kind of isolating. I still want to connect with people, particularly my mutuals here. It's a problem.

"I'm sick of seeing games with an air of corporate weight sitting on top of them. I'm tired of watching a scene and going "yep, that probably tested well with audiences". I'm exhausted by this pervasive idea that writers are to be resented, or that I have the memory of a goldfish.."
We can't keep making videogame stories for players who aren't paying attention to them
Let me get lost, I promise it's okay.

Kind of disappearing from being online, needing to continue that way, but being afraid that I will become forgotten and ruin my career prospects as a result, yet this being even more evidence of how much the internet is messed up and that distance is better

I usually enjoy getting second hand books that have been written in but this one having a heartfelt dedication in it from a family member and dated very recently is making me a little uncomfortable

Okay I haven't done this since ShB so here... mm... some were kind of uncertain or could really have been in multiple tiers at different points... it's complicated. And no DT characters...!
(places within categories are irrelevant except that Vauthry had to be placed next to that tier name)

Got some good news today after a very stressful last couple of weeks 👍👍

"be kind to yourself" but I have been suffering for 10+ years because the world at large isn't kind to me and that is the problem. My treatment of myself is fine. The problem is that society throws some people into a pit and leaves them to spend most of their lives struggling to claw their way out

Things are bad 👍👍

They don't exist, because it's much more interesting that way in my opinion. I don't think they add anything to the world and are not appropriately explained. Even linkpearls and teleportation are things that I tend to minimise a lot outside of the MSQ as they don't suit the kind of stories I like
kinda curious how people view cellphones in their WoL's universe/headcanon. kind of a question for the player too.

does your WoL have a cellphone and use it to text/call people, or are they just a linkpearl user? maybe nothing at all, or maybe they send letters?

Listing everything would take too long but I remember enjoying at the time: Of Mice and Men, The Great Gatsby, The Colour Purple, The Yellow Wallpaper, Captain Corelli's Mandolin, various war poets (Sassoon and Owen...)

The only one I remember strongly disliking was Birdsong by Sebastian Faulks.
US and UK friends, I'm curious: What books were part of your required reading for highschool literature class? Which of them do you remember loving, and which did you loathe?

Happy new year from over here, I hope it is good to all of you

I passed my driving test today!! Seriously huge for me. Not that long ago I didn't believe it was something I'd be able to do. It took me much longer than average but I'm really proud that I was able to learn this skill, especially driving a manual car in a place with relatively difficult roads.
