this thread was a last minute idea that threw a massive curveball at my timeline plans for this character's arc but GOD do i feel vindicated




this monologue was spliced in between prose but it honestly might be my favorite line in the post so i'll put it all in one

sometimes you just gotta write a detached immortal with a god complex. y'know, just for the self-care.

it genuinely terrifies me that my prof for my european cinema class was able to grade and comment on a paper i submit earlier today less than 4 hours later

at the same time though getting a perfect mark and having him say my review of the film was a god review (regardless of if the typo was likely intentional) when i literally just crammed it in the span of 7am-12pm today, day of the deadline, when i watched the movie at x2 speed, and the lowest grade he gave was a 7.5 did wonders to my god complex

best class i've had this SY is game design and ngl that's HIGHKEY making me debate a last minute change of career paths aaaaa

highkey shout out and god bless communities and members that trust their staff. it's a gem to see and experience when faith is put on the team and community. after all, we're all here to have a good time and take care of each other, yeah?

not exactly my last post but it was from last night and this thread makes go through several different stages of :hyperbongocat:

smth akin to soul eater or noragami. ppl being paired together to exorcise/purge spirits and demons, where one person literally turns into the other's weapon? forgotten gods hidden beneath the surface? having to combat internal demons alongside external ones? yes.

i am so tempted to get custom keycaps for this mechanical keyboard negl

its the ~aesthetic~ for me

being cursed with a brain that can and will go into autopilot very easily means that i can and would accidentally send a picture of xiao from genshin impact to my prof instead of the thesis abstract proposal i should be submitting to them at 5:48am.

the only thing that stopped me is realizing the file name in the canvas page was "aaaaa.jpg" instead of my standard uni submissions file name of [Course Code] LastName_Submission.pdf RIGHT before i hit the submit button

tfw the best way to bring your character's muse back from the war is by (temporarily) killing off their love interest



+ a personal favorite trope of "character calls back to something incredibly insignificant in the greater scheme of things to stand for their spiteful motivation in a life or death situation"

its literally still enrollment period until the 31st WHY does my prof want everyone to submit 250 word abstract pitches on thesis plans when our thesis starts next school year by 5pm today, the 29th im gonna scream into a bag

probably a bit more unconventional/inconsistent, but we base it off how the community is currently looking. if there’s a notable disparity between active members : registered members for reasons outside the conventional (i.e. holiday season, general start of finals season when a good amnt of the memberbase are uni students, etc.), then it’s time to start discussing / planning an AC. there’s a sweet spot we hit with “bi-monthly” (see: after every two months), but again, it’s more based on pulse checking the community than a solid schedule. rl happens, rp’s a hobby, and all that.

the hardest condition we have is simply: leaving the discord server = automatic archiving, clearing of claims, whole deal. no ifs, no buts. if a staffer isn’t informed that it’s a temporary leave / something similar, then it’s safe to assume that it’s a legitimate leave. 

other than that? the standard drill. members post in a thread a link to an IC/non-comms post for characters they want to keep. canons require two posts to signify they are both (1) active and (2) are committed to the “canon” part of the character. non-canons need only one. posts can only be from the past ~2 months to keep it a bit more lax, but still a check. drop the link, get cleared from the archive/deletion hammer. don’t drop the link/state that a character is to be archived/deleted? done. claims cleared and everything. we also have a hiatus system where a person can inform staff if they can’t make the check due to xyz, and their need for the ac would either be (1) waived entirely or (2) lowered in requirements. the moment the person posts with any character whatsoever though, during that period of hiatus, they’re subject to the check.

honestly, it all ultimately sums up to: give allowance when allowance is needed, but know when to hold ground. 

legally obligated to ^^^ this bc by god andrew was so good in it and the musical was an absolute gem. still so sad we dont have any way of listening to the og superbia songs
