skarme
general chatter for may, let's try this too
EDIT: linking may catch-all log here too!
skarme
wheezes... i just got done setting up a thread tracker spreadsheet so hopefully between that and tag plurks i can actually keep track of them from now on
skarme
instead of getting dinged three times for errors the first time i try to turn in my bonuses finally lmao whoops
skarme
anyway!!! i am still looking (respectfully) at quests and i would like to do a catchall log this month at some point bc i havent since feb, it just may not be this coming week because i might be busy again... but we shall see!
mad
whenever you make it, i’ll be here
mad
thread tracking for rewards is super useful but nowadays i’m using it to make sure i didn’t miss a notif...which is kinda sad
skarme
yeah that's also why i needed to start doing it tbh, sweats
skarme
what if dw notifs were kind enough to let me know when they don't feel like working
skarme
BTW MAD do you wanna keep the p5 au dream rolling into mementos or wrap up?
skarme
man i noticed there's a strikers character on the tdm and i still know nothing about it, i should look up spoilers... one day i will actually play a persona game again instead of reliving p4 endlessly
mad
let's have them go into mementos
skarme
p4 is like 13 years old, it's nearly old enough to be a character in itself, that terrifies me
mad
if you'd like that, of course!!
skarme
yes!! i was just checking
mad
oh my god, that's a scary thought....old enough to be a character in itself
skarme
time too describe sagi's horrible persona (eventually)
skarme
p4 is so old and so bad in many respects and yet here i still am, in p4 loving hell
skarme
also rping a kid from an even older jrpg so at this point maybe its my brand
mad
retro jrpg brand
skarme
"modern" persona qualifying as retro just hurts my heart
skarme
i must away for tutoring-related stuff and then ffxiv plans for the rest of today but i will faito... hopefully can begin working on log tomorrow
Pixel
I miss your Yosuke 👀
skarme
i've not put him anywhere in forever... i keep thinking "ah what if pq2 had character interactions that i would get wrong if i don't play/watch it" but could never bring myself to care enough to play/watch it
skarme
and everything p5 counts as the same continuity as well so it's like wow! this is too much canon to review for one stupid teenager when all my characters are already stupid teenagers!
skarme
frankly someone please just write out the entire plots of every persona spinoff somewhere so that i don't have to bother
skarme
surreptitiously reviews the sa sslp of p5 so that i can tag the au after tutoring tomorrow
Pixel
I mean to be fair pq games are canon but the casts don't remember them haha
skarme
it's more the character interactions parts yea, some of pq1's were definitely a little out there
mad
there are lots of interactions in pq games so if someone remembers them all, they have my respect
mad
at the same time as much as i love pq2, it suffers from having too many characters at once, so some of them are reduced to one trait (akihiko will mostly pop up to talk about proteins for example) in my opinion
skarme
there are so many that im like "ahh what if i think he would get along with x but in pq2 or w/e they didn't hit it off ahhh"
skarme
yeah pq1 already suffered from that and it didn't have the p5 kids yet lmfao
mad
i think you can still do alright without all the spin-offs but i also understand wanting to be up to date with current material...the struggle
skarme
the Struggle
skarme
it's the sort of thing where for psl/meme shit i don't care but p5 is such a popular canon still that i would be embarrassed to show up somewhere like "hee hoo im not invested in the one everyone loves or the other one everyone still loves and haven't paid attention to this franchise since like p4g"
skarme
legit don't have the time or energy to do another character or another game rn but i do waffle back and forth on whether yosk would be a sufficient contrast to soggy to try out in the same setting...
mad
why not tdm sometime and see how it feels like
skarme
like their settings and attitudes are v different but the arc i'd be going for is roughly similar in "idiot teenager on the cusp of growing up needs to define who they want to be instead of just what they want" so it's like, mayhaps this is too much teenagers
skarme
I COULD... ngl the other big reason i don't is because i phone tag almost exclusively lately and switching journals on mobile is really horrible
mad
phone tag life....i couldn’t do that for too long omg. but having two browsers on your phone might help if you can get another one or incognito mode, though you get logged out a lot
skarme
it's just annoying bc i work out of my gmail inbox and that opens chrome automatically sigh
skarme
it's just way quicker to respond on mobile in bed compared to dragging myself out of bed to turn the pc on and the less barriers there are to writing something the less my adhd hates it lmfao
skarme
but yeah not conducive to multiple characters at all
skarme
maybe if i did the respond directly from email thing?? i've never tried that
skarme
the ideas ive thought about so far are like...
- yosk personafour (bc i cannot escape this asshole but maybe he's too much like soggy, except, an asshole,)
- naoto personafour (definitely not as much like soggy but she's supposed to be book smart which is more Work)
- kyoko digimoncs (kind of like naoto but More and also an adult, i barely fkin play adults)
skarme
or an undertale/deltarune bc i think those characters are well suited to silly sandbox stuff but i think we have a chara player so i would have to ask how they felt about that
skarme
yosk or an undertale sound the easiest out of those but yyyeah my little "loser teens with enough self-awareness to give them major resentment issues but not enough self-control to easily get themselves to Stop" problem.
skarme
i suppose when rp is entirely self-indulgence any notion of "should branch out and write a different character type sometimes" is self-imposed and not super necessary, but i do want to not get bored with things too!
skarme
... mental image of yosuke getting stuck with a familiar that is just the magic butterfrog from mother 3
skarme
that is not a real mythological creature
skarme
magic: kinetic primary would cause him to be self-yeeting trash and it would be funny if out of two characters the one who can fly is not the actual bird with bird wings but wayyy back in asgard he had telekinesis so im like hmm... done that already
Pixel
i mean I am biased
skarme
you are
skarme
the nefarious ways of the french
Pixel
oui oui lmao
Pixel
I'd probably see if I could sneak Yu in there but oh god so many games
Pixel
https://images.plurk.com/19Asvixw2rdTS7WofZAzD0.png okay no
skarme
oh god
Pixel
(Yu would get Puss in Boots of course I mean)
skarme
in other news bless our hijikata tho i still love him
emet-sleep
I LOVE HIM
skarme
bless him for not holding a grudge after sagi fuckin tied him to a bed and held him hostage too
skarme
hbrbr yesterday was not a good day for tags and today won't be either... rescheduled my sunday work shit to today bc i had a massive headache but ended up doing a bunch of errands i'd put off instead of resting
skarme
i get gunshy about poking at the tdm if it's not people i already know too bc lol obscure canon
skarme
sigh these good tags in my inbox and im so busy all the way up until thurs what if i had more energy and time in a single day...
skarme
not me forgetting what hex colour code i picked for soggy's doppelganger's dialogue immediately and unable to inspect element on mobile fml
skarme
ok christ nts: 007a99
skarme
shit for later when everything is less on fire, rough order
- tag cecelia log (end of the world visit)
- tag emet post for no preplanned reason but to annoy him
- check comms
- write open log
- akira closed starter under log he's pyro jack now
- poke at may plotting post... dang we got a lot of jrpg gods/avatars of chaos huh
emet-sleep
this is why I go with the basic bitch html colours of 'red', 'blue' etc XD
skarme
this feels like too long a list for me to tdm yosuke this month but that's fine i think
emet-sleep
also wow rude!!
skarme
THAT WOULD BE SENSIBLE... those high contrast colours make my eyes go funky sometimes is all, but mostly i actually just wanted a nice teal like sagi's wings and cards on principle because i have brain rot
skarme
so i suffer for my """art"""
pigeons.
what is rp if not perpetually suffering for your art
skarme
im suffering for your nefarious french influence is what im continually suffering for
emet-sleep
mood
pigeons.
honhonhon
pigeons.
drags you into the baten pit with me
skarme
I'VE BEEN HERE SINCE LIKE JUNE
pigeons.
yes but you can never escape
skarme
addendum to tdl: poke at geralt after putting log up, bucca quest or minotaur
skarme
yesterday got away from me... if i have time today and don't just pass out its working on log time
skarme
soggy votes when first harassed about it and votes for "respect what elphame wants" since neither "do the same thing and hope things change somehow" or war are actual options to him lmao, boring boy
skarme
i kind of wonder if he would fuck up a trial by accident in his usual unintentional agent of chaos way because he is probably pure hearted by anyone fuckin else's standards but heart talk is such a relatively everyday thing for him that he'd be like well no.... his has a zombie stuck to it......
skarme
otoh he would occasionally do a murder even if not being exploited and is still relatively easily exploited so??? it probably depends on the task tbh
emet-sleep
I cant wait for the poll tbh
emet-sleep
because if we failed the initial crystal thing then this makes me think war may be likely icly
skarme
pls
skarme
soggy would straight up try to get a party together to try and rush celliwig to warn them first and he would be completely out of his depth and hate it but do it anyway
skarme
or something else ridiculous
emet-sleep
I asked the mods whether Emet could rally a group to try and stop both sides from fighting if the war option got voted on (ninja)
emet-sleep
if Sagi would like to join that
skarme
he would
skarme
it was his job even if it was a phony job and he sucked at it
emet-sleep
lmao
skarme
clutches head i just passed out instead lol
skarme
tomorrow is my day off tho
skarme
open prompts: glamming his horrible familiar, refusing to debate politics, holo goodbye quest, trashed theatre?, rituals take 2
skarme
thhhbbt my brain is empty again today... maybe in the afternoon after ive eaten something ill wake up enough to write
skarme
no brain only sagi talking about hats. this canon is a hat game
pigeons.
IT'S A HAT GAME
skarme
kirishima, who just wants to style his hair: can you use magic to style your hair
people with brains: alchemy to make hair gel if you're struggling to just find hair gel
people with slightly less brain: kinetic or light magic on your own hair because that's what you want to style
sagi: hat, but a hat that looks like hair somehow
skarme
he's helping
pigeons.
SAGI...
pigeons.
someone please supervise this child
skarme
he's slightly older than the mhas
skarme
nobody can supervise him now
emet-sleep
it's called a wig Sagu
emet-sleep
Sagi even
emet-sleep
imaigine asking Emet to make him a wig
skarme
he thought of hat first because hats are so common in his canon
skarme
https://imgs.plurk.com/QzL/63b/ICdtju8xrKaB5n1OnES6v7uB4Xq_lg.jpg big big hat.
pigeons.
sagi, trying to fit in with the modern world coolkids: oh, wig
emet-sleep
lmaoo
skarme
wig...
skarme
fortunately he won't say that bc he doesn't want to wear anything on his head
skarme
rubs temples... i gotta try and nap again im completely loopy
skarme
new state of tdl:
- akira closed prompt on catchall log
- existing tags
- find geralt's open log
skarme
oops hit enter
- go thru cr meme very late
skarme
after that im chilling until the event prob, don't wanna be too overloaded in case i get booked for even more tutoring in this latter part of the school year... need to hear back about that still
skarme
vuvuzela noises i need a day off obligations today but i'll see how i feel later
skarme
ever since i rambled for 2hrs for the magic/familiar lore dump meme yesterday i have had either poacher or condemnation of darkness stuck in my head playing on loop. when one stops the other begins again
skarme
tbh i confuse them a bit because they sound similar and bk1 uses it in all of its like guardian-ish bosses............. but bk1's is better
skarme
skarme
it's coincidence that our mod description for the end of the world dovetails so neatly with what mira looks like but it's so funny to me
skarme
also sagi is a sad sack without his girlfriend and it makes me sad. someone kick him
pigeons.
sagi...
skarme
he's trying his best
pigeons.
his best is not very good
pigeons.
but he's trying
emet-sleep
kicking sagi would be like kicky a puppy
emet-sleep
...kicking* wow
skarme
tell that to his life
pigeons.
rip sagi
skarme
he's being a sad sack in the catchall log too lol
skarme
just immediately suppressing it when deku shows up because we don't process our trauma here
skarme
upside down emoji... action threads are fun and good cr can come from them but they tend to be tougher for me than other threads lol
skarme
was thinking about it earlier and i think weirdly sagi in pokemon game was easier for me because it meant leaning more into the aspect where canonically he's the one giving the trio battle orders most of the time, which is fun for glossing videogame mechanics shit into characterisation...
skarme
i'm less interested in the physicality of it usually which i guess would be why it's harder to write in a way im happy with
skarme
unless it's stuff like endless procession of toby fox dogs which is cartoon enough that the physical situation doesn't matter so much any more
skarme
anyway imagine not having adhd and going through your inbox in a sensible order
emet-sleep
I PROMISE I WILL GET TO SAGI
emet-sleep
action scenes are so hard man
skarme
action scenes are hard unless you don't really intend for much action to happen and are just writing 3 pages of tentacle body horror -
skarme
honestly never rush, if i manage to clear my inbox before it's a week old i consider it good by my standards, holds head in hands
skarme
i weirdly have more energy today than i have for a while... tries to snail through a bit of my inbox before the vaccine properly Hits
skarme
with "what are heroes/wars/murders good for" talk being the flavour of the moment i am still thinking back to bakugo a while ago being like "did you murder the people in those giant robots you mentioned you piece of shit" and soggy, an assassin, going "what the fuck, no, who would do that??" without thinking he was a hypocrite whatsoever
skarme
his outlook is so weird i wonder about what to do to bring it out more :|a
skarme
not weird because of the fine details (it's like "murder for a cause bad, for purely personal reasons only slightly less bad, but still an option in both cases if other options seem worse") so much as the ways he convinces himself it's straightforward
skarme
vaccine blues a little more pronounced today lol, i tried a couple tags and my brain is checking the fuck out... oops
skarme
event is due soon ill just... try to clean house in the next few days instead, i've got the week mostly off
skarme
sweats... christ i sure did let my inbox sit for two weeks
emet-sleep
I was starting to wonder if I hallucinated my response to you
emet-sleep
I-I did respond right
skarme
yeah i have 2 tags from you!
skarme
im just gonna... go through them front to back this afternoon with an eye for wrapping shit up if it's not a good length yet or drop them if nothing is coming to mind, no one is obligated to respond
skarme
nts: check comms next week try to get back in the habit of doing that sometimes
skarme
agh strained something in my hand during fc farm night so i probably shouldn't stay up and phone tag grumble mumble
skarme
imagine not getting old
