[boreal mesa]

You would get along well with a friend of mine that goes by Churro. We have actively agreed that we should never co-op, because I would try to impose order and they would end up creating no small amount of chaos

[rare cliff]

... did you plant the trees to be eternal seedlings like that? I'm just curious because I don't think that happens naturally

[hazy wharf]

trees spread, is that what you mean?

[rare cliff]

I'll maybe landscape a quarter of my farm and then just give up on the rest. The same thing happened to me on AC 🥲🤣

[rare cliff]

Like you have all these tree seedlings around each tree? Does that happen normally?

[hazy wharf]

like these?

i really should clear off my farm though, theres so many trees in the bottom right

[boreal mesa]

Well, the trees drop their respective seeds over time. And it checks for open spaces where there aren't say, weeds or grass. Given how many trees there are, I'm assuming Ether's in at least year 2 or 3?

[hazy wharf]

last day of summer in year 4

[boreal mesa]

Oh, wow, yeah

[hazy wharf]

only 8 more achievements to get 100%

i have every other achievment

[boreal mesa]

Oh, I can help you with Polyculture.

[hazy wharf]

that might be one of the last achievments i go for

and fectors challenge

[boreal mesa]

You just need fifteen of each of these

[hazy wharf]

oh thank you thats helpful

im gonna check rn

[boreal mesa]

And you can check which ones you've already sent off enough of from the 'Collections' tab in the inventory

Hover over the item and it'll tell you how many you've shipped off

[hazy wharf]

yeah i know, ive shipped like 3k cranberries

[pulsar plume]

Just FYI, this chat might be better in #🎮other-games-chat although I know that they're talking Genshin impact as well over there. PMs could work too. Not trying to be rude, just trying to keep the order. XD

[hazy wharf]

alright for sure, not rude i understand

[boreal mesa]

No worries, Shlee

[rare cliff]

Yes!!

Oh oof games chat!

[hazy wharf]

oh well in that case, it does that all the time

unless you have a golden clock

[fossil breach]

For anyone with mental health issues and a therapist.... It is always fun when your therapist laughs because she sees an issue that you need to work on....

[pulsar plume]

My therapist laughs because I'm too damn self-aware and I say what she's about to say to me before she says it. It's a Problem™️ But uh.... yeah, that's always fun. XD

[fossil breach]

Lol yeah I just finished with my second session with a new therapist after not going for a year and a half and I dont think I heard my other one laugh before but I learned that I had a issue that ran deeper than I thought it did lol

[winter pier]

I am the same, I have been told many times I am the most self-aware person they know loool

[fossil breach]

Lol

[winter pier]

lol but its the anxiety that does it 😂

[fossil breach]

Totally understand that.

[tough ether]

Kindergartener spit in my face today

I didn't do anything. He just did it for fun

[ebon cipher]

Sounds like something a kindergartener would do, tbh

Sorry it happened to you though 😦

[tough ether]

I work with kindergarten and first grade kids but its like we are in a pandemic little dude

[fossil breach]

Kids are such joys lol

[tough ether]

And even then I would not want it

Yeah they're fun but the age i work with is a lot of work

My job serves primary school kids from one specific school

I used to work with the 4th and 5th graders but my coworker needed help in the K and 1st room so now I'm there

[fossil breach]

I prefer the age of K to 1 over 4th and 5th personally. I just have always liked the little ones the best.

[tough ether]

Yeah they're a lot of work tho

[fossil breach]

Very very true

[tough ether]

On the other side this same kindergartener is now racing a plastic ball

[clever crystal]

wow, are u using mods?
because i never played stardew valley since 2018.

[hazy wharf]

nah im not

[clever crystal]

ok

[hazy wharf]

hold on i have a better picture of it

[clever crystal]

still amaze

[hazy wharf]

you can now paint buildings, which i did after taking this but i dont feel like opening it

[clever crystal]

how those tree form up like that

[hazy wharf]

idk they just spread and i didnt bother clearing it

[clever crystal]

[hazy wharf]

yeah i can, and i will just lazy

[clever crystal]

ohh, pretty huge farm i see

[hazy wharf]

yeah

[clever crystal]

[hazy wharf]

that save is ~120 hours but overall 170

[clever crystal]

how many endings this game have?

[hazy wharf]

there really isnt an ending but year 3 could be considered the best thing it has

its the closest to an ending

[clever crystal]

wdym year 3?

[hazy wharf]

at the start of year 3 in game you get reviewed on ur progress

[clever crystal]

sorry i only play this game about 4 hour

[hazy wharf]

i shall say no more just in case

[swift pond]

The most recent update introduced more stuff to do post year 3

[clever crystal]

oohhh

[clever crystal]

don't worry. i like spoilers

[hardy notch]

@pulsar plume I don't think the devs see the #🙌thank-you-devs channel since they don't have the time to look into the community/offtopic section I guess. maybe you can move the channel up in the coral island section?

[ebon cipher]

They actually already responded when they got tagged!

[pulsar plume]

We actually had a Discord voice chat with the whole team (well, @orchid cedar who organized the kudoboard and myself who just... made sure there was a channel and pings for it, lol) where they got to see it. ❤️

[silver stag]

Yeah, they said thank you in the dev diary I think

[hardy notch]

glad to hear that.

[hardy notch]

LOL! I've read the diary and still missed that

[pulsar plume]

It was at 4 am our time, so most of the germans were probably in bed. XD

[hardy notch]

ye...

https://tenor.com/view/cat-drink-kitty-water-i-am-not-as-stupid-gif-16026567

i promise that

[pulsar plume]

❤️ You're not!

[ebon cipher]

It was in #🐔coral-general, actually!

[hardy notch]

ayaya

well there were hundreds of messages in general in the morning. But I only scroll up a little bit.

[pulsar plume]

Like I said, we did it at like 4 am German time, so it's not surprising, a lot happens in the server between like... midnight our time and 6 or 7 am.

[fossil breach]

@pulsar plume I was wondering how you are doing today? I know you had a rough day yesterday and was hoping/wondering if it is going better today.

[pulsar plume]

I'm doing a lot better today. Husband's grandma is still in the hospital and we're awaiting some results from the oncologist to determine whether or not she's got chronic leukemia (common-ish in old age, and she just turned 94)

Went to bed at a very reasonable hour last night (fell asleep at like 1 am, that's a victory for me!) and got plenty of sleep, was much needed. So doing better! Thank you for asking, I appreciate that a lot. ❤️

[past spruce]

Hugs and wishing the best for grandma. :C

[fossil breach]

Woo! I'm glad it's better. I'm wishing the best for grandma as well.

[tough ether]

Been editing photos all day because the realtors I work with keep taking dark, indoor photos and shoot directly towards the super sunny windows 😭
Brighten photo, darken window, brighten photo, darken window, brighten photo... 🥴
Save me...

[pulsar plume]

😦

[fossil breach]

Don't they know basic photography things? 😭 I'm sorry.

[balmy star]

For a second there I read hot topic instead of #💭general2 so I thought- uuuuh T^T

[stoic ivy]

I once had a lady who called to tell us that the poster we sent to print had a problem with the photography, that the background was blurry but not the people in front, and we had to explain to her what focus meant. 😶

[upper dove]

You'd think they would but no! Hahahahaha ☠️

[upper dove]

OOF

One of the agents once asked me to make a picture 3d, I-
WAT

[stoic ivy]

https://tenor.com/view/nick-young-question-marks-what-excuse-me-huh-gif-4486363

[upper dove]

I asked them what they meant and then they came to the conclusion I didn't know what 3D meant 😂 I decided i would rather that they believed that and gave up on their request, as opposed to correcting them and following whatever rabbit hole that led down lmao

[stoic ivy]

ah yes the good old, "do it my way. no not like that. no, not like that again.''
"I'm not in your head, I can't guess unless you tell me"
"Well you should, it's your job"

Looking for someone to do some linework for a comic storyboard. Send me a DM with your portfolio/comic work refs and going rates.

[open egret]

Any other extroverts in here that have really been struggling the last year? 😔

I legitimately miss being out around tons of people SO much right now 😭

Im really hoping things improve in the US over the next few months i reeeally need to get out hahahh

[silver stag]

I don't know where you live but outdoor dining is possible some places.

If you got good friends that are negative for covid, maybe that's a thing

[open egret]

Unfortunately i have asthma. So i have to be suuuper careful and take a few extra more precautions than most

So even that can be a risk sadly

[silver stag]

I have pretty bad asthma to(maybe yours is worse idk) but I told the restuarant and they hung sheets on all sides of my table with my friends so we could be separated from like cough range a little more. (And some places do that naturally) I've only done it twice in all. But maybe I'm just lucky.

[open egret]

Oh really?? That's really awesome that theyd do that for you. Hey that certainly seems awesome and way safer

At this point i think im just gonna keep holding out until i get my second shot next month, but another big challenge i have is making new friends, i moved across the country last summer and i needs new people to hang with 😅

Just SO hard to meet people right now ya know.

[silver stag]

For sure, for sure. Though I guess there's a good chance of connect with people through nice communities like this.

[open egret]

Oh 200% like this community has been fantastic to meet so many incredible people 😊

I really do love talking to you all

[celest meteor]

I second that! Everyone is so nice 🙂

[open egret]

Shoutout to everyone for being so great 😊❤

[fierce viper]

I'm an ambivert, so the pandemic really brings out my introverted side.

[pulsar plume]

I'm an ambivert too, but I do have my days where I am just crawling up the walls because I miss hanging out with people

[distant notch]

Same here. The only reason I'm even remotely sane at this point is that I still get to go to work and meet people there

[west flax]

Wait am I losing my mind we didn't gave 2 gen chats yesterday right?????

great to hear 🙂 me too thank you!

[silver lantern]

I thought we could change what kind of second key we wanted later? : / I was planning on saving the second choice to either give to a friend or if none of them were interested, then using it to put a copy on my Swutch so I could play if I ended up bedridden again.

[static dune]

Don't mind me, just dumping some The Circle memes.

And back to our regular scheduled sh!tposting.

[silver lantern]

'Funny' thing- as a kid I used to use so much salt my food was basically inedible to anyone else because it burned.

My mom wanted me to cut back on it, and my pediatrician agreed it was a good idea.

Cut forward to age 16 where it turns out I not only have a genetic issue that basically makes me lose salt randomly, but Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome. One of the main things I was told to do?

Increase my salt intake drastically.

[silver stag]

Hmm 🤔 yes salt does seem to be the solution to P.O.T.S. (hehehe). But seriously I'm sorry you had to go through that. I know there have been times that my parents didn't believe me when I said I knew what was good for my body, but was found right later. 😔 But I understand they were trying to do their best at parenting within their perspective.

[pulsar plume]

Absolutely, and everyone thinks "oh, too much salt, you'll have high blood pressure, high blood pressure bad!" but like

If you crave salt, your body is telling you something. I used to salt EVERYTHING... and also had chronic low blood pressure. 😛

[vestal kite]

Oof , I used to be the same when I was younger , loved salt and dairy products mainly .. I wasn't really a sweet person , always savoury .

Nowadays only issues I have is low sugars and I have to have a strong sugar tea so I don't shake or feel nauseous

[slate plover]

I have pots and low blood pressure myself, I have to season my own steak at my parents cause they hardly put anything on, meanwhile I'm just like 'salt, garlic salt, onion salt, perfect!'

[strong arrow]

I'm sure your kidneys are fine.

My body's says I crave sweets. So I eats sweets breakfast lunch and dinner. Cause my body knows best.

Now my teeth are rotten, I've gained 100kg and have diabetes

[pulsar plume]

....

[strong arrow]

Obviously I'm joking. I'm just pointing out how dumb that thing they wrote was.

[pulsar plume]

.... LOL. No, it wasn't dumb. If your body is craving sweets, it's generally because your brain is craving dopamine or serotonin, and sweets or carbs are the fastest ways to get that.

If your body is craving salt, it's because your blood pressure is low and your body wants your heart to actually pump like it's supposed to.

Obviously I'm not saying eat salt licks and never drink water.

[strong arrow]

No, that's if your brain is wired in that way.

Where if you do something when depressed like

[pulsar plume]

No, it's really not. Your body craves things for specific reasons.

[strong arrow]

Eating ice cream your brain goes

Sad must have icecream

[pulsar plume]

I don't know how old you are, or where you got your medical degree, or where you've done your research, but I promise you I've done my research and know what I'm talking about. 🙂

[strong arrow]

X To Doubt

Eating that much salt is super bad for your kidneys.

[stoic ivy]

I second that, I'm not a huge sugar eater but I sometimes gets those urges y'know? often times it's because I don't eat enough things

[pulsar plume]

My dude. I'm 35 years old. I have my own medical conditions. My mom is a nurse. I've worked in nursing homes and hospices. I took A&P classes, and do a lot of my own reading and research.

[strong arrow]

You must be American to think that.

[chilly hawk]

erm

lol

[ebon cipher]

lol

[pulsar plume]

Salt increases blood pressure, your body craves salt because it needs to increase blood pressure. If you have a LITERAL DISEASE that means you need more salt... then eat the salt.

No one's saying "eat a salt lick and drink no water" lol

[ebon cipher]

I mean I want to jump in here but this is just going so well.

[pulsar plume]

Literally salt and potassium are the two things that regulate your pulse and blood pressure.

[strong arrow]

Lmao

[pulsar plume]

If you have chronic low blood pressure, you have to add salt to your diet.

[west flax]

There is a reason why you crave certain things. It's not random or in your brain

[pulsar plume]

I didn't flip out until you started making a false equivalency and telling me I was wrong. 🙂

[strong arrow]

About medical degrees when they're clearly the incompitent one.

[tranquil galleon]

I will say, sometimes if your brain is cross wired you'll crave things adjacent to what you need. like, craving popsicles when thirsty

[west flax]

Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed or smth?

[strong arrow]

I legit just said that, @tranquil galleon

But shlee would rather personally attack me

[elfin epoch]

i mean you kinda didn't

[pulsar plume]

Yes. I didn't say that what you are craving is necessarily exactly what your body needs, but your body will crave things adjacent to its needs. I didn't say you should just stuff yourself full of sweets; I said if your body is telling you it's craving sweets it's because your body needs dopamine or serotonin most likely, and that's a quick way to get those things.

[stoic ivy]

pretty sure you didn't

[tranquil galleon]

no? you were very rude and mocking

[ebon cipher]

Obviously I'm joking. I'm just pointing out how dumb that thing you said was.

[west flax]

My mom HATES jell-o. Like gets nauseous from it. HATES it. Then she had a huge tooth surgery and wanted to eat nothing else. It took us a while to realize that she was craving it bc it's soft and cold

[ebon cipher]

You literally started the personal attacks.

[west flax]

You're literally calling her dumb and incompetent LMAO

[strong arrow]

Eating salt 3 meals a day killing your organs, cause your brains wired as such.

Like a kid on sweets

[pulsar plume]

.... what.

[stoic ivy]

back to being rude I see

[elfin epoch]

no one is eating just plain salt my dude

[pulsar plume]

Okay. Time to just ignore the troll. 🙂

[elfin epoch]

but bodies do need it

[tranquil galleon]

so is it liver or kidneys

[west flax]

Did you wake up wanting to fight today???? What is going on

[tranquil galleon]

keep your story straight

[strong arrow]

Both, @tranquil galleon

[pulsar plume]

And if they wanna keep it up, they can get a warning, and then a 24 hour mute, and then a ban. we'll see how far it goes. 🙂

[strong arrow]

How petty

[west flax]

You're the one being insulting for no reason

Hope you enjoy your superiority complex tho

[tranquil galleon]

what is it with today. I had to block a troll in the pacha server earlier too

[west flax]

https://tenor.com/view/sad-upset-violin-sponge-bob-mr-crab-gif-3530280

[fierce viper]

Am i at the good time to pop in?

[hollow jacinth]

I literally just joined to all this and like what??? Hopps you need to calm down. This really isn't cool

[pulsar plume]

I never once insulted you. You're the one who called me both dumb and incompetent.

[strong arrow]

You implied me young and incontinent.

[ebon cipher]

...no? You literally started with

"What you said was dumb"

followed by

"X to Doubt"

And "you must be an American"

And just escalated from there.

[tranquil galleon]

lol sry you jumped in on this. I promise we're usually much more chill

[fierce viper]

Did i also use the perfect pun there?

[pulsar plume]

I did not imply you wet yourself.

[west flax]

Okay I think we should all ignore them lmao they're clearly a troll who goes around insulting people and then yells "omg did I trigger you LOL ha ha"

[stoic ivy]

Incontinent means not being able to stop pooping or peeing in my language and I'm here laughing

[pulsar plume]

That is correct.

[tranquil galleon]

@hollow jacinth are you coming in from the kickstarter or backerkit?

[ebon cipher]

It means that in every language lol

[strong arrow]

I mean we could of discussed facts about human consumption habits. And how brains can be wired differently to cope with stress.

[pulsar plume]

In any case, guys. Just leave them alone. 🙂

Let them dig their own grave.

[stoic ivy]

learn a new thing everyday, never had to use it in english 😭

[elfin epoch]

seems like they'll just keep digging

[strong arrow]

Rather than giving me your story about being 35 and medical student.

[pulsar plume]

If they want to keep it up, I -am- a mod, I'm not the only one reading into their messages in this way, and they'll get their warning and their mute and it'll be what it is.

So just move on. Let's go back to #🐔coral-general !

[hollow jacinth]

@tranquil galleon yeah i just got the link from the last kickstarter announcement

[fierce viper]

i mean, what are your credentials, then?

[strong arrow]

And you say I have superiority complex? First thing you spouted was how much better you are than me.

[fierce viper]

continues to pop the corns

[tranquil galleon]

glad to have you! do u know what system you're going for yet?

[west flax]

Leave 'em be ramz they wanna get on our nerves

[fierce viper]

aww. okay...

[hollow jacinth]

@tranquil galleon yeah I went with steam as I play on my computer the most though I was tempted to get it on the switch

[ebon cipher]

I always thought it was an English word, actually. Huh! You learn something new every day indeed.

[pulsar plume]

We stole a lot of French words after the Normans occupied England and were in their courts for like 800 years

[tranquil galleon]

I'm going PC too cuz not all my friends have a switch

[pulsar plume]

if it has an -ion on the end it's probably from Latin, which would give us origins in english from French

[elfin epoch]

so i'm on my lunch break now hi

[pulsar plume]

hihi!

[elfin epoch]

math is hurting my brain lol

[stoic ivy]

hey I'm norman lol 👀

[ebon cipher]

Dude math sucks

[elfin epoch]

it SUPER sucks

[ebon cipher]

Auntie Norman!

[pulsar plume]

That's cool, Auntie!

[tranquil galleon]

fingers crossed that a mac port comes out bc one of my friends has an apple laptop

[elfin epoch]

I have an apple laptop and I'm just gonna get an external drive and make my computer run windows for gaming lol

that's how I played Dragon Age

[stoic ivy]

hopefully everything is sorted out and all the ports make it 👌

[elfin epoch]

i'd super love a mac port because that means I can play it easier, but I'm letting nothing stand in the way of me playing this good good game

[smoky crow]

Hello!

[hollow jacinth]

Yeah I really want to recommend this to my friends and they mostly have pcs

[pulsar plume]

Awww, that's sweet though! I do hope they can look into a Mac port and it won't be too difficult to do. I know Roots of Pacha is already doing the multiplayer stuff, and they got their Switch dev kits already (though I think they started dev before even CI did)... they said the switch port is going super smoothly and not a lot has to be changed, minus like controller support, and they're even doing cross-platform stuff too, so I am HOPING that the same is the case for CI and we can see fantastic and quick port overs and cross-platform multiplayer!

[little matrix]

Thank you for the reminder to also back Pacha 😂

[carmine isle]

Yeah, I saw that too, smart thinking there to develop in a way that makes porting so easy!

[tranquil galleon]

honestly I would be surprised if there wasn't a mac port at this point. that's a significant chunk of computer users to market to

[elfin epoch]

there are so many games that either don't have a mac port, or had a mac port and one of mac's updates killed it 😭

I can't play portal anymore because a mac update killed it

[stoic ivy]

for real?? that sucks

[elfin epoch]

yup, and it's like my favorite game. It will run bridge constructor portal but it's not the same

[glad vessel]

first priority for me when i buy stuff windows just because compatibility

[fierce viper]

the first or the 2nd one?

[elfin epoch]

yes

anything portal I adored

[fierce viper]

EYY

i loved the 2nd one, so many great lores in there!

[elfin epoch]

i had a dnd npc i never got to use who was GLaDOS

[pulsar plume]

I'm not pushing y'all out YET, but if you wanna keep chatting about vidja games in general, we have #🎮other-games-chat for that.

[elfin epoch]

oh! lmao i will learn where everything goes I swear

[stoic ivy]

totally unrelated but your pfp is familiar and I can't find why

[elfin epoch]

Mirio from BNHA

[stoic ivy]

this explains that, thanks 😂

[elfin epoch]

lmao yeah of course!

My boyfriend has a matching Tamaki

[pulsar plume]

That's why I said I wasn't pushing you out of general, lol. Just mentioning the games chat. The discord is big with a lot of channels, it's easy to get lost. XD

[elfin epoch]

ye I super appreciate the reminder cause I will get focused and forget that there are better channels

[glad vessel]

That's an average problem especially funny as admin when someone then mocks you for talking in the wrong channel

[elfin epoch]

i admin a little rp server and our little admin team is so bad at staying on topic some days, one of our members has gotten very good at sniping us when the discussion starts to shift

[glad vessel]

Ha we get mocked from the "peasants"

[pulsar plume]

I am super guilty of letting some conversations last too long in the wrong channel myself but sometimes you don't want to mess with the organic way the chat is going and it can cut a conversation off at the knees to be told to switch channels

[stoic ivy]

guilty of completely forgetting when a chat is going, here 😭

[glad vessel]

On such a huge server normal

[west flax]

I definitely get the need to regulate that on a big server like this but maaaan it sucks when a conversation gets going and then gets cut off

[elfin epoch]

it really does but like, yeah it's understandable, so stuff doesn't get out of hand lol

[west flax]

No one ever really continues convos in the correct channel afterwards

[glad vessel]

I ping people sometimes randomly in a conversation just so they keep track

[west flax]

I do really hate it in small servers though when like half the server is in that conversation lmao

[glad vessel]

Have you ever seen 70 nerds fighting over 1 conversation

In 7 channels

[pulsar plume]

-gestures vaguely to this discord-

[glad vessel]

The server owner was so confused as he came back

[elfin epoch]

This is the biggest discord I've ever been in, i'm usually in super tiny servers

[glad vessel]

But on a small server that's not the average conversation type

[stoic ivy]

the only experience I remotely have as admin or mod, is back when I was one in a FB group...for 3 years

it was hell

[elfin epoch]

70 nerds in 1 conversation in 7 channels sounds intimidating fdkgsbn

[glad vessel]

Am I allowed to post pictures here?

The reaction of the server owner was gold pure gold

[pulsar plume]

Of course. 🙂

[glad vessel]

Its like mocking a bull with red clothing. just dont

[elfin epoch]

okay my lunch break is over I gotta go back to math 😩

someone else wanna reconcile some accounts for me lmao

[pulsar plume]

Awwww, well take care! Good luck with the math!

[glad vessel]

Good luck

[naive vault]

You can do it!

[elfin epoch]

I'll be back in another... 3 hours or so lol

[stoic ivy]

remember, Maths are the devil... joking , good luck 😂

[glad vessel]

@pulsar plume you should have seen 2 of them

We added a delay so you can write every hour 1 message so they calm down

2 however started editing their messages to discuss even further

We just saw 2 messages constantly getting changed and since we didn't track the conversation we had no clue of what was going on

[pulsar plume]

.... oh my god

I'd just have put them on mute until they quit. 😛

[strong arrow]

No, I was just editing. Cause had spelling mistakes and lack of info.

[stoic ivy]

that's as crazy as funny...but mostly crazy

[glad vessel]

That was the next step but that was truly a hilarious day

[pulsar plume]

They're talking about their own server, not this one.

[glad vessel]

Hopps I talked about another server

[strong arrow]

[glad vessel]

[strong arrow]

No, you bully.

[glad vessel]

Hmm actually Not i only Bully people that bully me so yes technically I am a bully

Fine you got me

[naive vault]

Honestly I'm still cracking up over the idea of your other discord god, if I was one of those gals I'd be all sort of okay I'm out of here

[glad vessel]

I mean one of them had attention problems and loved the attention...

The other one I dunno

Nowadays we got a bit more mature like we have a few more people and they don't fight over such things anymore for that the furry war has begun.

i Wish for one day that I wouldn't have to read: "furries out"

[bold maple]

ekjrghrug what

[glad vessel]

But despite that we are a big ass family

And as long as they don't overdo it like someone actually gets insulted or attack personally nobody cries and stuff like that nobody has to mute anyone

[bold maple]

thats good

[glad vessel]

And it's really hard to kick someone out that pays for your food...

The owner is the local games workshop owner it's pretty small since in my town not much are interested in it but before Corona we used it as a meeting point atleast the ones that were next to it. Some rich snob provides financial support for him so yeah he can't kick him out except if he wants to lose his shop.

But that doesn't mean I can't have my fun with him.....and with fun I mean summoning demons into his mansion

[naive vault]

Omg yeah

[round abyss]

Hello all

[ebon cipher]

Hello!

[elfin epoch]

Hi!

[abstract python]

Hey.

[west flax]

My new school has a virtual open-door day tomorrow, I'm so excited 😭

[dawn orchid]

I might have missed a train or 6 but why are there two general chats now ? xD

oooh Biv I hope you enjoy it 😄

[pulsar plume]

there have always been two general chats, one was just named off-topic. 😛

[dawn orchid]

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooh I see

[pulsar plume]

I just renamed it to put it in line with the other, and we have two because this server is large and sometimes there are multiple conversations happening, so having a place to have at least two major convos is good

[dawn orchid]

sneaky sneaky

aye that makes sense hehe

how many peeps do we have in here if I may ask ?

[pulsar plume]

over 19K I think

[dawn orchid]

oh wow o:

that's awesome !!

[inner egret]

That is indeed many

[west flax]

Almost 19.5k damn

When I joined there were just over 10k

[pulsar plume]

@abstract python Can I ask you what might be considered an off-color or slightly invasive question? It's okay to say no, and the question itself is pretty innocent but I also don't want to ask too much emotional labor from you if it's not something you're comfortable talking about. And if you prefer I PM you instead I can

[abstract python]

You could PM me, if you want.

[elfin epoch]

Good morning

[fierce viper]

Evening!

[elfin epoch]

I just woke up and immediately started flipping through channels to see what I missed while I slept

[little matrix]

Hello Elsa!

[fierce viper]

Do you wanna build a snowman?

[fierce viper]

also, mood.

[elfin epoch]

landbdsvs

Sure, let’s build a snowman

[fierce viper]

XD

[elfin epoch]

I got to tell the greatest Elsa joke like, last winter

I was over visiting some friends and I was going to help them take laundry to the laundromat, but when we were out loading up the car, they realized they needed to go back inside and get something. I said I’d just wait at the car and they said, are you sure? It’s pretty cold

[untold maple]

This server is crazy busy, hah. I'm on a few others for KS games and they're way slower

[elfin epoch]

And I put my arm around their shoulder. And I smile. And I say “the cold never bothered me anyway” and then they yelled at me lmao

[pulsar plume]

lol

[fierce viper]

THATS GOLD LOL

[elfin epoch]

It was PERFECTLY set up I couldn’t resist!

[fierce viper]

XD

[elfin epoch]

SO

Potential future in-laws speak Chinese so I’m making an attempt

[stoic ivy]

all the luck to ya

[hidden basin]

Damn ! Enjoy :D !

Best of luck o7 !

[pulsar plume]

Didn't you say your boyfriend doesn't speak it though? Like did his parents just go "NOPE ONLY ENGLISH"

[elfin epoch]

Yeah so his mom speaks it, and his dad doesn’t, and he spoke it when he was a little kid

[fierce viper]

This year's Japanese Language Proficiency Test will finally be opened, so happy yet so scared lol

[wraith mulch]

I personally want to learn Spanish and Japanese so I can be a translator and watch all my anime without subtitles and know what's going on ☺️

[stoic ivy]

been using an app for some simple japanese, it was a great one 😄

[elfin epoch]

But then his parents didn’t keep up with making sure he could speak it so he lost it

[fierce viper]

eyyy, good progress then!

[molten seal]

I always feel like I should learn Spanish because the USA has so much melded into our society now but at the same time I wanted to be different hence attempts at learning German haha

[elfin epoch]

But then all of his extended family on his moms side pretty much only speaks Chinese so, like, big language barrier if we ever wanted to visit them

[violet fossil]

Spanish can be challenging at times but it's a beautiful language!! It's my native language, I should know 😁 Good luck with it!

[untold maple]

I should learn a langauge, but oi, already so much going on lmao

we do plan to visit Japan in a few years, though, but I've heard you can get by without Japanese well enough.

[stoic ivy]

if you got a lil book with phrases to help you at handy, it's all good, that's how a pal of mine managed

[fierce viper]

Japanese service people are very helpful, so even if you dont speak it, you'd get around just fine!

[untold maple]

We may also be going with another couple and one of them speaks Japanese pretty decently so that will help too 😛

[molten seal]

I've always had a desire to learn but I roll my R's like a dog taking its pills on the first try

[pulsar plume]

You can get by without fully rolling your r's as the ability to do that is actually genetic

[fierce viper]

Learning the basic everyday phrases won't hurt though!

[wraith mulch]

I'm excited to start, but feel very intimidated and daunted. I know we Engligh Americans have really ruined our image and reputation so idk where I can immerse myself without seeming... Arrogant or something?

[pulsar plume]

Just make a soft d sound instead. 😛

You learning a new language will never be seen as arrogant; trust me.

[fierce viper]

intention matters!

[pulsar plume]

The people here in Germany are so kind and they appreciate when the effort is made. I think ANY country appreciates when the effort is made to speak to them in their native tongue.

[stoic ivy]

I should pick spanish back up, I lost a lot after high school 😭

[molten seal]

Nah the problem is my mind says "yes learn!" but my tongue shape says "no" can't ever even attempt to roll the r's

[pulsar plume]

yo hablo un poquito español

[wraith mulch]

I don't appreciate America's capitalist views... I dream to travel and expand my world view... I feel very cramped and mismatched for my current society

[pulsar plume]

Like I said, just make a soft d sound for the r's instead

[stoic ivy]

Sí ✨

[molten seal]

Eventually, I'll try that then haha, gotta figure out a way to remember cases for German first before attempting to learn another language

[pulsar plume]

you don't

you just say "duh"

d'Auto

d'Haus

d'Tisch

d'Hand

and hope to god you don't have to actually conjugate into acusative

[violet fossil]

Yeah, that's definitely a challenge. It's something that's incredibly difficult to pick up if you didn't learn it as a child. I don't think it's genetic at all, since everyone here in Spain can do it. It's just something you pick up when you're first learning how to speak.

It's not that much of a problem though! Lots of foreigners can't roll their R's and we communicate just fine 🙂

[molten seal]

16 ways to say "the" is already painful enough

[pulsar plume]

the good news is, Spanish is ALSO a gendered language!

[molten seal]

NO

[pulsar plume]

YUP!

[untold maple]

I did a DNA test and I'm quite German genetically 😛 not super surprising, Ohio had a lot of people come here from Germany.

[fierce viper]

None from Asia here, huh? XD

[molten seal]

There needs to be a crying emote in this server lol

[stoic ivy]

DNA tests are fun and surprising right 😂

[little matrix]

lol same if there's much accuracy to those tests! according to that i'm 41% german

[violet fossil]

I can't speak for Spanish-speaking Americans 'cause I'm from Spain but I wouldn't find someone trying to learn my language arrogant at all!

[fierce viper]

Isn't there also differences between Spanish from Spain and from US?

[untold maple]

They seem right. My wife's family immigrated from Ireland like a generation back, but turns out she's actually more Scottish.

[molten seal]

If I remember from our family tree, we're mostly Irish with like a smidgen of German and Swiss, and then an even smaller smidgen of native

[stoic ivy]

full on spanish on mom's side , that's why I wish I would have been more focused on spanish when I was at school , but damn after some years it's been gone

[chilly umbra]

Spanish spoken in the US tends to be more directly traceable to Mexico, Puerto Rico, or Cuba, instead of Spain directly, so there's some slight variances

[fierce viper]

yeah, and that also comes with the cultural and mindset difference.

[chilly umbra]

Yup, absolutely. In my experience though most people who speak Spanish here appreciate it as a skill

[violet fossil]

Yup. Castilian Spanish (Spanish from Spain) tends to be a little more difficult when it comes to learning it. Mostly because we use more verb tenses. But apart from regional words/expressions and such, we can understand each other just fine

[untold maple]

I imagine it's close to like British vs American English

[fierce viper]

that's very cool!

[untold maple]

same general things with some differences in terminology/etc

[pulsar plume]

Mutually intelligible is what we call it. 🙂

[violet fossil]

In fact, most Spanish people my age grew up watching Disney movies with Latin Spanish dub 🙂

[acoustic wigeon]

“Two cultures separated by a common language.” Is the classic joke about the US and England.

[frosty quest]

Saw this on Twitter. 😂 I laughed harder than I should. 🤣🤣😂

[elfin epoch]

lmao

[stoic ivy]

😂 accurate

[frosty quest]

I'm having flashbacks of my Spanish lessons in school. my teacher was a native speaker from Peru. 🙃 Fun times trying to understand her when she was in full-mode 😭🤣
Edit: have to add we learned castilian spanish from textbook...

[violet fossil]

That must've been rough 😮 I don't understand why they'd do that, to be honest. It's difficult enough to learn Spanish, why make it even harder by having it be taught by someone who doesn't "match your textbook", so to speak xD

[frosty quest]

Honestly I wasn't lucky with either of my (many) Spanish and French teachers. 🙃

But in retrospect those who were the most strict & demanding were the best. 🙃 Guess I was made for the drill 🤣

Edit: and to answer your question: it wasn't basically because we didn't had the selection to choose between several... A native speaker was actually a good thing.

[violet fossil]

Yeah, having a native speaker helps a lot. But not all native speakers are good teachers 😅 I learned that the hard way at an English academy. Thankfully they were there mostly as a support and not to actually teach.

I also studied French but it wasn't really my thing, and two out of my three French teachers were god-awful 🤣

[plucky iron]

language learning is fun, but of the French teachers I've had, the one I remember best was clearly not a native speaker... I'm glad he wasn't the first I had, so I had time to mimic a proper accent first

[untold maple]

I studied French breifly, but the teacher I had for French 1 was... sweet but not a good teacher ,and the second was horrible so I dropped it and went to German 😛

[stoic ivy]

funny enough I've had the same problem but for every single english teacher I've had

[untold maple]

My German teacher was great, but I didn't get German 2 as I went into AP Stats and AP Java/C++

Funnily enough both were the same teacher, he was great, too

My French 1 teacher was uh... eccentric old lady lmao. We had a random unit of Japanese for no real reason other than she liked it

Oi, have to go on base to get my laptop reimaged e.e (DOD contracting)

[west flax]

Oooooh are we shit talking German? I'm in 😎

[pulsar plume]

[fossil mesa]

i'm grown up with the German that they speak in Munchen XD so I did not understand a word of my German teacher XD

[fossil mesa]

I would speak german with my dad at times

[steep crescent]

god, yall ever have to stop reading/watching smth bc it's just Too Much

I'm reading a fic and the mains are just. so stupid at each other

[elfin epoch]

Yes

[tranquil galleon]

they're so fucking dumb

[elfin epoch]

That second hand embarrassment right?

[tranquil galleon]

y e p

[elfin epoch]

I’ve also had to take a break because of second hand frustration

[tranquil galleon]

teenage superheroes babysitting their mutual future child, so much mutual pining. they have all the pieces they just keep putting them in upside down

and calling the puzzle done

[elfin epoch]

One of my favorite books, right in the middle everything goes wrong for the main character to an awful extent and I had to put it down and stop reading for a couple days cause I couldn’t take it

[tranquil galleon]

oh oof

[elfin epoch]

It all turns out fine but it’s very punishing in the middle

What’s the canon your fic is about?

[tranquil galleon]

miraculous ladybug

they are. so dumb

[elfin epoch]

I’ve never seen it but I’ve heard really good things

x-men are my teenage superheroes of choice lol

[tranquil galleon]

miraculous ladybug is built on identity porn and mutual pining so there is. a lot of it in fics

[elfin epoch]

Ooo that’s some good shit right there

[tranquil galleon]

marinette is ladybug, Adrien is chat noir. marinette loves Adrien, Adrien loves ladybug. neither of them knows the other's civilian identity

[elfin epoch]

OOOO

[tranquil galleon]

THEY'RE SO STUPID IT HURTS

[elfin epoch]

Oh my god that’s some of my FAVORITE shit

I LOVE IT

I wrote a thing with one of my friends once that was

Well

How familiar are you with Marvel?

[tranquil galleon]

decently familiar with major heroes and supporting cast, not very familiar with the comic plots

[elfin epoch]

Okay plots don’t actually matter too much this was an alternate universe thing

[tranquil galleon]

oh if u ever feel like getting into ML

subs: http://miraculousubs.tumblr.com/fr

dub: http://miraculousubs.tumblr.com/en

[elfin epoch]

So my friend was writing Red She Hulk, and I was writing Colossus, and we had this set up where they were in a relationship in their human forms but neither knew the other had powers and did hero work. (They met as high school teachers, that was the AU)

[tranquil galleon]

hahaha oh man, identity porn is just. the order of the day with superhero fic isn't it

[elfin epoch]

And they ended up running into each other while doing their hero work one night and hitting it off really well and then feeling guilty about it because they’re in love with who they think is their nice, normal, human significant other

[tranquil galleon]

oh my god yes

[elfin epoch]

It really is

[tranquil galleon]

that's my fav type of it

falling for each other a second time

also fun: hero and villain dating as civvies and not realizing they're nemeses

[elfin epoch]

Like they even kissed and then that was tearing them both up inside so piotr (colossus) went to confess and Betty (red she hulk) confessed first and was like “I kissed colossus” and he has this moment of “wait I’M colossus and I haven’t kissed anyone recently but- OH MY GOD”

[elfin epoch]

YES

Oh my god I adore that

[tranquil galleon]

i love it

the reveal is so much fun

[elfin epoch]

Seriously, it’s like the best part

Also thank you for the links!!! I’ll check that out once i’m done with yu yu hakusho

Also I’ve been meaning to ask, is your icon Kirishima?

[tranquil galleon]

I plotted something once where steve and tony are married and still keeping the hero identities and heroing in general from each other, but as heroes they flirt with each other and mutually rationalize it as part of their hero identity cover

nobody would suspect iron man/captain americs is married if he's flirting all the time, right?

it was pure self indulgence and I never actually wrote it but it was fun to plot out

[tranquil galleon]

yep!

[elfin epoch]

Works so well until they realize lmao

[elfin epoch]

NICE! Mine’s Mirio!

[tranquil galleon]

iirc tony figured it out bc he grazed cap with a repulsor blast during the day's fight and then sees the injury on steve later and just goes WAIT A SECOND

I have so many self-indulgent outlines for marvel stuff I never wrote

[elfin epoch]

What a mood

Same

My self-indulgent stuff isn’t always shippy but it’s like I’m going to dive into the backstory of a villain no one cares about

Like no one really cares why Sabretooth is particularly hostile around Wolverine’s birthday but I plotted out a whole fic diving into the reasons

[tranquil galleon]

oooh

I did one based around the actual lyrics of the song iron man which was... let's say needlessly dramatic

[elfin epoch]

Oh man I’d bet that would be lmao

But gotta be fun

[tranquil galleon]

tony got an alien infection which turned him into a robot, then he got brain-hacked with a virus and turned into a villain called Neon Knight (gotta keep up the black sabbath refs)

[elfin epoch]

Yeah of course

[tranquil galleon]

time travel was involved but only a little

those two are probably my biggest outlines I actually remember

and then there's the transformers port where I made the movie avengers cast into cybertronians

well, avengers plus some

[elfin epoch]

Man crossovers are so much fun

My boyfriend and I have been writing a crossover between two unrelated books of the same author because we realized the set up for one ship in one book would work way too well for a different ship from the other book

[tranquil galleon]

haha, that's always fun

I imported some elements of individual character plots but not the whole overarching thing

like, bucky's storyline end to end is p similar. grew up with steve, joined the army autobots, Steve enlists after him, they work together a while, bucky falls from the train, gets picked up and turned into an assassin by the decepticons, works with nat a couple times, eventually steve finds out and helps bucky break his conditioning

but instead of steve becoming captain America, he's a special type of transformer who can put on a fancy suit and become much bigger and stronger than his base frame actually is

.....
ooh I just had a Thought for how to better mirror the steve to cap transition. gotta go pass this by some robot friends

[elfin epoch]

ooooo nice!

[tranquil galleon]

in the transformers comics there's a material which makes ultra-durable armour plating. however, it's in extremely short supply and basically the decepticons hoard it until they have enough to make a theoretically indestructible frame for megatron (spoilers, it's not indestructible) so what if the thing that makes robot steve special is his bigger body is made with an alloy of that rare material?

and robot Erskine was the only autobot who knew how to get/use the material so once he dies Steve's armour is impossible to replicate

thus, captain america analogue. stronger and tougher and faster-healing than other autobots his size

[elfin epoch]

i know very little about transformers but that does sound cool!

[tranquil galleon]

it also gives an easy setup for red skull, just make him a subordinate of the decepticon in charge of this rare material charged with basically repo-ing the stuff in Steve's armour, and stress testing it along the way

[elfin epoch]

yeah, seems like it makes sense!

[tranquil galleon]

oh I love it when things just Click

[elfin epoch]

yee!

Also I'm sorry if I just drop off chatting, I'm at work and the focus is FINALLY starting to hit

[tranquil galleon]

I gotta do dishes. it was nice talking to u!

[elfin epoch]

Yeah you too!

[marsh flax]

How wholesome

[slate plover]

[slate plover]

Those with chronic pain who work, how do you deal? Really struggling to just not quit my job rn

[elfin epoch]

My pain is probably a lot different than yours, but my really bad pain days I sometimes just have to take off from work. I'm lucky I work with some good people and they'll usually help around the office if I really need it

[slate plover]

I wish I could but last time I took a day off because of chronic pain the temp agency guilted me because of it

My boss is completely fine with it but I've only taken the one pain day off because of the temp agency saying 'I'm sure they wouldn't appreciate you missing lots of work just because of something like that'

[untold maple]

It's just weird that from what I've seen the higher up and better paid you are the more relaxed things are on that front.

[slate plover]

Yeah I work part time and haven't been hired on yet either

[tranquil galleon]

if your boss is fine with it, you should be fine ignoring the temp agency, but it took me a while to build up my Don't Give A Fuck attitude so that may not be feasible for you. if you're on good terms with your coworkers, working part time, and have your schedule posted decently in advance, perhaps you could swap shifts with your coworkers and thus get around actually taking time off for some pain days? just, shuffle shifts so unless you have a string of bad days you don't need to burn days off/sick days

[dawn orchid]

Or I could just chat here to be ornary

hey I'm the only one that can let myself down. Preferably from the stairs when I need to leave the house

[stoic ivy]

this is beyond chaotic. you should invite Vix

[dawn orchid]

oh please, I have no brain for this sort of mind game

I'd just be like

[elfin epoch]

I just love doing complicated things like this in role play servers

[stoic ivy]

... if you ever play in a muder mystery one shot, I want front row seats

[dawn orchid]

who, Elsa or I ?

[stoic ivy]

You

[dawn orchid]

my biggest insight would be hmm

[stoic ivy]

Elsa wouldn't have any problems solving it, I trust them

[dawn orchid]

I'm good at on the fly shit, improve and thinking fast

[stoic ivy]

you're Sam

[dawn orchid]

but long drawn out things where I have to put all the pieces together and visualise the whole picture ? Not my forte xD

[elfin epoch]

Have any of you done those like, interactive puzzle games that you sign up for and they send you a box of clues?

[dawn orchid]

I am 100% the Sam type of player xD

[stoic ivy]

never done that, I'd be down for it tho

puzzles are my jam on a good day

and with enough alcohol

[dawn orchid]

no but I've done escape rooms and lemme tell you I'm glad I was with other people

[elfin epoch]

I did one that was Adventure Zone themed and it was SO GOOD

[dawn orchid]

cuz otherwise I'd still be in there

but that actually sounds awesome o:

[elfin epoch]

Man I love escape rooms too, I’m mad at how I cant get a group of friends together for those now

[stoic ivy]

never been able to try one before that friggin' pandemic and I'm salty

[dawn orchid]

I'd go with you just to see your brain at work and lounge on the side cracking jokes xD

[stoic ivy]

we solve, you pun

[elfin epoch]

I did, not exactly escape rooms, but adventure rooms for my birthday before the pandemic and it was so much fun

[dawn orchid]

or possibly try to make the whole thing harder

I've only done one, our group were split in two and whomever got out the fastest won

...needless to say I was not in the winning team.

[stoic ivy]

point and click games are not your jam as well then? 😂

or maybe some Layton that could do the trick

let's jimmy your neurons

[dawn orchid]

not quite xD I did adore watching my brothers play Myst III Exile though

[stoic ivy]

or let's jimmy your neutrons

[dawn orchid]

you leave my neutrons alone, little lady

listen I'm not short

I'm fun sized ok

[dull wyvern]

to quote that one comedian talking about people handing out "fun sized" candybars at halloween:

"Ain't nothin fun about starvation, SHARON."

[stoic ivy]

😂

[lost jasper]

"I may be short, but that just makes it easier to kneecap people."

[stoic ivy]

I'm stealing that quote

[little matrix]

Something that is pretty universal about short people is that we are not afraid to eff someone up 👀

[oak current]

Indeed

[stoic ivy]

we just need some help in case our favourite snacks are too far up in the pantry

[dull wyvern]

So what you're telling me is.... you're ewoks, then? D:

[little matrix]

Yup I’m a tall Ewok!

[oak current]

Sith Jawa, actually!

I have pictures to prove it

[stoic ivy]

I should be considered average but since I can't reach the second shelf of any pantry, or anything too high in any aisle...

[lost jasper]

I love this idea, and now I wanna make that a cosplay

[stoic ivy]

oh hey nevermind that I'm taller than the average size of my country \o/

people underestimating you and thinking you're adorable up to the point where they realise your fists are level with their diaphragm

[stoic ivy]

I can't do that...

I can't even open a water bottle without hurting myself...

[dull wyvern]

Poor auntie 😂

[dawn orchid]

I can crack walnuts with my bare hands xD

granted it's more a matter of use physics rather than brute strength

I always try and when I fail I got my friend who puts her hand out for me to give what I'm trying to open...With either a look of pure sympathy or mercy I don't know

[dawn orchid]

https://tenor.com/Js1Z.gif

friendly reminder that this was completely improvised by Hayley Atwell cuz she literally couldn't help herself

and like girl, mood.

[dull wyvern]

You should get her a black tux and a bowler hat for Halloween and y'all can cosplay as Bondvillain + Oddjob since she's essentially your henchman muscle 😛

[dawn orchid]

I usually ask my brother cuz if he'll do it why should I tire myself 🤷‍♀️

[lost jasper]

I whack lids on the counter to pop the seal.

[stoic ivy]

lemme tell ya, without her we would have been without water for a week once, because I couldn't turn the water handle on from the garage

[dull wyvern]

Now I'm just tempted to edit that in Premiere and sync it so when she boops his nipple, the light in the background turns off 😛

[dawn orchid]

xD

do it

[stoic ivy]

S A M E

and then I still struggle

[dull wyvern]

there's a trick to that

just get a butterknife, stick it between the lid and the lip of the jar underneath and angle the knife away from the jar

[stoic ivy]

funnily enough, I can open a bottle of wine without a problem

[dull wyvern]

it breaks the vacuum seal and you can just open it

with 0 strength

[dawn orchid]

goes to show how much determination plays a part

[stoic ivy]

You want me to hurt myself? because that's how you get me to hurt myself

[queen topaz]

OH also stabbin the jar lets the air out and makes it easy to open!

from a fellow weak handed friend

[dull wyvern]

gotta love a good rose

[quiet topaz]

honestly I strongly recommend a gilhoolie, my family got one a couple years ago and it really helps, it clamps around the lid and gives you physics help opening jars

[dull wyvern]

except her cheeks just turn rosy and she gets +5 to CHA

[stoic ivy]

the bottle opener makes it easier just sayin'

[stoic ivy]

aaand that's gonna be my new bard

[dawn orchid]

gilhoolie is the absolute best word I have read in a very long time

[queen topaz]

GILHOOLIE

[dull wyvern]

gilhoolie sounds like something someone in a kilt would call you right before he grabs you by the gilhoolies and yeets you off the side of a cliff D:

[dawn orchid]

I am 100% naming a character gilhoolie somehow somewhere

[stoic ivy]

gilhoolie, the goblin obsessed with opening jars

[dull wyvern]

"Cannae juist come 'ere 'n' fankle wi' a farmer's gilhoolies ye wee twat!"

YEET

what 7-9

[queen topaz]

finn was my fav

[dawn orchid]

it stops at 3

or 6 I guess

[queen topaz]

[dull wyvern]

cause the last three movies were mostly shite!

[stoic ivy]

oooh star wars debate

[dawn orchid]

these are the only ones.

[lost jasper]

One director, no trying to capitalize off the White Fave

[stoic ivy]

https://tenor.com/view/thriller-michael-jackson-eating-popcorn-watching-gif-5577709

[dull wyvern]

the problem was

[dawn orchid]

everything ?

[lost jasper]

I like the first one of the sequal trilogy. The rest...

[dawn orchid]

literally everything ?

[lost jasper]

ehhhhh

[dull wyvern]

and this is the part I genuinely don't get

we look at the MCU

and how Disney handled that

where they planned out literally a decade+ worth of movies

and all the connected storylines

details

etc

put so much actual thought into it

and then they take StarWars which is an equally profitable and beloved franchise

and just go

"fuck it, just wing it"

[dawn orchid]

cuz their goal wasn't to destroy the marvel franchise under the guise of "post modernism"

[dull wyvern]

like W H A T

[stoic ivy]

https://tenor.com/view/popcorn-popcorn-day-cinema-gif-5026744

[dull wyvern]

I don't think their goal was to destroy Star Wars either - I do think they put too much faith in having more than one director which worked for the MCU but only because they had Kevin Feige oversee the whole thing

[dawn orchid]

only to bail last second and only go through with it halfways cuz they got scared but it was too late

[dull wyvern]

shoulda just had Jon Favreau do the whole thing <_<

[dawn orchid]

idk man some interviews I saw from people involved in film making process were legitimately chilling...

[lost jasper]

I mean, the minute they got it, they made the EU non-canon

[dull wyvern]

I mean I think the majority of people enjoyed Mandalorian 1+2 far more than the last three movies

[dawn orchid]

like don't get me wrong there are aspects of the last 3 I actually like

[dull wyvern]

same

but there's so much shit in there which DOESN'T EVEN MATTER

[dawn orchid]

Daisy Riddley for one is fantastic, and I actually like Rey, she's not a mary sue contrary to what people keep SAYING AND MISUSING ahem.

[dull wyvern]

like ... literally just fluff to stretch out a movie

especially in 8

[stoic ivy]

I haven't heard about the term mary sue in ages

[dawn orchid]

I like the idea of what they tried to do with Finn, but they also never pushed it enough ?

like just think about it for ONE second

[dull wyvern]

like the entire subplot with Rose and them going down to the Casino planet... if you cut that out of the movie, you wouldn't have gained or lost ANYTHING

[dawn orchid]

we just for this MOMENTOUS reveal that storm troopers are people who CAN be rehabilitated

[dull wyvern]

yep

I mean

[dawn orchid]

they are literally humanised

and it's just

never addressed ever again

[dull wyvern]

I feel they played on that A LOT more in the Mandalorian

[dawn orchid]

they keep getting used as canon fodder like it's a joke

[dull wyvern]

with Bill Burr's character

that was actually genuinely satisfying

[dawn orchid]

haven't seen it not counting it

[dull wyvern]

You haven't?

[stoic ivy]
