I don't think I entirely understand why some sites mandate specific writing perspectives. What if I want to write in present tense second person because that's how my creative juices flow best?

But do you mean simple aesthetically or simple coding-wise, because the two are not necessarily the same

Dude, Lunar Silver Star Story was great. It's still funny people find these lyrics more memorable even though they were completely fabricated, as opposed to the remake which had actual translations instead.

It's nice that both songs work, but singing about langels was kind of out-of-character and non sequitur when the original song is about her trepidations leaving behind everything she's ever known to travel to some unknown land in the distance with the idiot she loves.

Extremely fitting, when you consider this point in the story kind of marks the start of the actual epic adventure, rather than a quest to gather dragon dung to make money.

I could rant about this game for days.

Well, anything I said was in general, I don't make distinctions between online and offline when it comes to getting close to people, because I think offline people show different faces all the time anyway. Online it's just a little easier to fudge some details, like claiming I'm actually super hot and handsome and fifteen years old when in reality I'm a wrinkled old 50+er.

Wait, we were only talking about RP friends?

I had a boy ask if I wanted to be friends, I said no because it was his first day in school and I didn't know him. He relentlessly bullied me for the thirteen years after that.

RIP

EDIT: Should add, I get on well with him these days. 

Making friends was easier in kindergarten, cos you'd just ask someone if they wanted to be friends and if they said yes? Then you're friends.

I don't have any friends because no one has passed my threshold of what I consider a close enough relationship to be "friends" in (my) truest sense of the word. I'll still call people my friend because I know it hurts their feelings if I call them a close acquaintance instead.

Words are grenades, it's good to remember to not accidentally pull the pin.

I just like them because it takes zero effort but can bring a momentary smile (or slight twitch of the mouth) to someone!

Like, yeah, sure, there's probably maybe someone or a group of friends who are still in their hilarious 1990s Disney villain arc, but I can't conceive it's some widespread problem the RP community is grievously suffering from. 

Is this actually a real thing that happens, and not just people who got a canon position/FC and then just…don’t get to go to the entire writing part of the hobby?

I’m having a difficult time believing there are a) people who do this to deliberately cause problems and b) people who actually admit to this and it’s not just some speculation.

Once you get into a negative mindset, it’s easy to start seeing evidence of malice where none exists. Maybe I’m too positive that “ha ha, I am going to take this canon position just so no one can take it!” seems like an absurd position to take.

RSRS EoS, smh SQEX

My main gripe is when we meet him on Beidou's boat and during the little tournament thingermajig afterwards, he's basically narratively Tone-Deaf Bard v2.

He does poetry, helps us out for no discernible reason other than that he's nice, kinda mysterious, and he is immensely in-tune with the wind to the point of tracking a thief several kilometres past the islands (assuming we convert in-game distance to real life distances) just by following the wind.

Like, is he supposed to be the Anemo Archon? Why's he so great at this? What's his deal? Just happy he doesn't seem to come along to Inazuma.


I actually really dig the Natlan story, I fast-forwarded to it because of the primos but stayed for the gripping story. Some of the beats were really obvious, but I think building up to something and delivering it straight-forwardedly works really well too on both of the occassions that they did it.

Still gotta do Mualani and Kachina's tribal quests, but I'm trying to get my AR up to 45 and do Inazuma first, so I can finally Ascend Kazuha and start building towards endgame builds for the primo income. All these tiny Adventure Quests are actually kinda fun.
