You Are Sat At A Bar, And Approached By A Character I Would Chew My Leg Off To Spend A Night With.

So I went through almost all of Raya Lucaria today, I think theres some items on cliffs and rooftops I still need to get, but I'm just gonna circle back in the future. Some notes:

1. The Iron Virgin past the Red Wolf boss is super creepy and uncomfortable, I did not enjoy being grabbed by it even though it did low damage relative to my 40 vigor healthbar.

2. I really really don't enjoy Putrid Corpses or any of their varietals, the less I have to deal with them the better. I dont know if its some kind of zombie phobia, I'm fine with skeletons, but the corpses scare the crap out of me, especially ones that continually respawn (i.e. Impaler's Catacombs).

3. Both of the bosses in the Academy were pretty easy at the level I'm at (mid 60s), and I genuinely enjoy fighting the puppet enemies, they're so interesting.

4. Between the Academy and Stormveil, the legacy dungeons carry the classic Dark Souls vibe the most imo. Vast ruins slowly being reclaimed by time, filled with the twisted forms of the previous denizens.

5. The Sorcerers are easy to cheese, Longbow+Stormhawk arrows is good (though now I need more feathers from Stormveil).

Not really sure what I'll do next in the game, I definitely don't want to move to the Altus plateau too soon, and I intend to go for the Age of Stars ending, so I suppose I need to work on getting into the Carian Manor? A challenge for a while from now, ought to shift back to other hobbies with such a distinct rest point.

So I've finally entered the Altus Plateau, by way of the Ruin-Strewn Precipice. The BGM for this area is quite nice, I must say.

I also cleared the Divine Towers of Liurnia and Caelid, the Godskin bosses there were pretty fun (ty St. Trina Sword). I did some other miscellaneous dungeons im Altus as well, mostly on the southern portion.

It was really, really fun going through the dual Tree Sentinel fight to get into the Capital Outskirts, felt like I've made real progress since fighting the one in Limgrave. Also went and got the smithing stone bell 2, so that's terribly convenient.

Oh! I also finished up the rest of Nokron, including the Valiant Gargoyle duo boss, only grabbed the first grace in the Deeproot Depths though.

I've entered Nokstella, journeying with mini-Ranni (best girl), so I suspect when next I play I'll head through there, can't say I'm thrilled to go into the Lake of Rot though.

THIS POLL IS NOT ABOUT TAYLOR SWIFT

note how like half of the options are various things on the ace spectrum. this is gerrymandering

Fun fact about this: i have literally no idea if pansexual and omnisexual are the same thing. (some people said that they were both synonymous with bisexual) I tried looking it up and there didn't appear to be any consensus whatsoever.

AND SEE HOW I LEFT OUT A MASSIVE AMOUNT OF NUANCE WITHIN ASPEC WITH THE COMPLETE OMISSION OF PRETTY MUCH ANY DEMIROMANTIC/AROMANTIC OPTIONS

the slug is not a sexuality. if you're wondering by the way the slug is straight because i don't like him. worm fanon polls is heterophobic you heard it here first folks

Make sure to tell me what you think and why you think it! Just. Don't yell, please?

try and fail to do a kick flip on a skateboard in front of a police car, that'll show em

You are just your average INSECTOKINETIC TEENAGE GIRL who was accidentally mistaken for a SUPERVILLAIN by a diverse group of TEENAGE CRIMINALS. Your DEVIOUS (you are not a bad guy, just very smart) PLAN is to INFILTRATE the gang and UNDO it FROM WITHIN. WHAT do you do to EARN their TRUST?

beloved antarc and their dumb friend phos !!!! ALSO!! TYSM FOR 200 FOLLOWERS!!!

look, it's easy, okay? High Fantasy has An Hero whose Destiny is Sword, and Low Fantasy has Some Schmoe whose Job is Sword.

Didnt make a post earlier because I didnt stop playing until 2am lol.

So I've played some more Elden Ring, cleared the wooded area of the Siofra River, killed all the enemies got the Ancestor Spirit and the Dragonkin Soldier done in one go, later on I died to the Crucible Knight over on the isolated platform. Worst. Enemy. Ever.

Also explored like, half of Caelid? Went through Sellia and the surrounding cliffs, explored almost all of the western side of Caelid. I even visited Redmane Castle, though I did not fight Radahn yet. I also didn't fight the rotted dragon, I think I would die very fast, I see a big health bar.

I had a small excursion into Greyoll's Dragonbarrow, grabbed the map, visited the isolated merchant, and tried to scale the Divine Tower (i want the greatsword at the bottom) but I couldn't figure it out.

Still a basic bitch using Bloodhound's Fang for almost every encounter, but I found it on my own without a guide and I could care less what soulsborne purists think.

I think I'm going to take another small break from playing as well. Love this game, though.

I think a lot of people are forgetting that on tumblr fandom used to be practiced very differently. now everyone fucks off to their discords or tumblr groups to discuss everything with a select few, making tags be nearly only used for posting some finished fanworks or not at all

a decade ago people didn't have tumblr groups. people didn't even have dms. if you wanted to talk to anyone about anything you had to make a post, or send an ask (which more often than not would get published and thereby become a post in the end too)

so next time you think "I have a fandom thought but I have to find a small group of hyperspecifically like-minded people to share it with in private" remember all the freaks you could be missing out on meeting by keeping the tags dead. use tags, make friends. fuck discord.

Okay I tried it with Bonesaw and stumped him too, no way in hell was he getting Shatterbird

i like worm characters so obscure that i consistently stump the akinator
