Uhh ya, so I am aware that it's 5am. Don't worry on that part
I absolutely didn't wake up because I thought of a journal name for bad ending Maelle
Why would I do that. Ha Ha. pffft
I'm still at Anna's but I'll do stuff with it when I get home
So at the moment, I have way too many journals for her. Embarrassingly too many. But the icons are different, vibes are different. To me it makes sense
I don't know a dang thing of French. So it's all google translated ... a whole concern but anyway, we got:
Act-2: jenetequitteraipas (I won't leave you)
Act 3: descendre_encendres (descend into ashes, meant to be a play on words with Dessendre)
Good end lol: shewhograspsthesky (the lamest journal of the group)
Bad end tee hee: onpaintofdeath (GETITGETIT??)
I'm just using the act 2 journal atm as like a face... journal? Because the icons for all the others are spoilers so I don't think it's fair to use them for emps. And I'm really worried even using the proper journals for the tdms even
Anyway, I'm scared of all these invite only games. So I'm throwing these journals around and seeing what sticks
Plan is still Singsong and Escoconut. I like Somnia's premise but what if no invite or what if no vibe? I am more confident with Singsong and Escoconut because these games exist. I can read ongoing events and story and logs but Somnia is new so the lack of know scares me
So my meek butt might chicken out there, and if there's even a whiff of another player interested in Maelle I'll spook myself out of it anyway. BUT I did post to the emp so I am proud of myself lol baby steps
And another emp to......day? Hello 6am

Exciting...
F, I almost replied to an emp comment with the spoiler journal
And their comment was literally "only on act 2"
Aaah I caught it but it was only because my net had a hiccup
ugh I wish journal hopping was easier
And it's probably the harder one for me to write but it's the first of the tdm's I'm trying out
I have a feeling this is a bad idea
Like Challenge Mode but worse lol
I will probably have to rescind some things if I do app at Sing if the tdm proves fruitless
I am a whoooooooooooooole concern on this
Very uncertain, very stressed
Gonna take my stressed butt to bed
So I wrote that at like ..... butt am and now I'm looking at it like oh no this is hopeless

asjdlajfhasdh
I was actually tempted to delete it ngl
I mean, you can if it will make you feel better, but you are good
I haven't rp'd in years and I had similar scaries back in March
I'm more stressed on spoilering people
But also like. I don't want to ruin someone's day with spoilers
I took out all her icons, save for that single vague af one
I have an opt out (it's a tdm with an opt out ffft) I have spoiler tab
And I'm still like. What if I forgot a step
So even if the post is okay, can I tag out? I'd have to pm first to be like Is it okay to tag but then that's like Some people won't care, they might feel like it's weird I'm even asking
But the one time I don't check they might get upset
MAN emps are like way easier. Cause the emps I can ask in advance and I have like a LIST of who is okay and not okay
what's her canon point for sing?
bc my other suggestion is to just use regular Maelle icons for now and trade them out if/when you app
Her canonpoint is post game, good ending
Remember the one I wanted to experiment with
oh ye, so this is Alicia-Alicia
I had this whole debate with Mart last night too lol
Ye it's Alicia, not Maelle
But I'm still putting Maelle in the header because mentioning Alicia could be a spoiler
hmmm. I think maybe rewriting it would be best. because if she's Alicia and you're using the Maelle tag, that's gonna be hard and confusing for people
LIKE IF SOMEONE ASKS HER what's your name
But would having Alicia on the header be a spoiler
Because I feeeeeeeeeeel like it would be
it might be, so idk, it's hard
The correct answer is probably "Don't app"
I would write an OOC note at the bottom of the tag that is like... this is Maelle post-game, post one of the endings. so she is very different from canon
and let people decide if they want to tag you
I have an ooc note about the opt-out for spoilers
But I'll add that she's very different, I think that's a good point
I think in general you will have a hard time getting people to tag you bc of the spoiler issue
It's a small game and it's slower pace
do you know anyone in game?
But they don't know I'm lurking LOL
I was gonna say, they can maybe push your comment out there to people to get tags and gently be like "yeah it's a weird situation but Alex is cool"
If I don't get any tags, I will just not app there
I can always try again in 2 months when spoilers are less intense
Oky I edited the ooc note to mention the differences
Now we wait and I busy myself so I stop panicking
WHEEEEE not hopeless and I am tickled
I put in all these spoiler protections and the one replying did not do the same
But is referencing her appearance.
I'll just keep doing spoiler tabs. Hopefully that will suffice
Okay this is sucking less as we go
There's a mechanic that heals...... so for the sake of not losing my mind when this already feels like hard mode
She can talk but it just............. hurts like hell to do so. And I think that's a fair compromise
I am probably doing it all wrong but I'm having fun so
I think the Chloe and Randvi player is the same.....?
Either way, both threads are delightful. I just kinda wish this childe wasn't such an emotional rollercoaster to deal with
We got to the name bit with Chloe who had the BEST response that I'm going to have to sit on
Ha ha. Resist the mind magic fuckery? How about just burn with it
She's doing her best
But she's so easily trusting and so gullible and just takes everything at face value
This place could eat her ALIVE too easily
Right on cue I'm questioning things and debating on taking down the tdm lol
My brain needs to chill, I know. But wow the anxiety
Completely unrelated but when I was playing with the incorrect quotes meme thingy yesterday I got this:
hey how do you do the collapsible thing
<details><summary>Spoiler</summary> Blah blah blah</details>
I had to look that up so hard the first time I used it lol
OMG KAL YOU WENT WITH BLOODDDDDD
Is that what you're running with?
nah, I'm trying them all out
I ammmm just gonna stick with fire for obvious reasons but again, pending invite lol
I have a feeling the invite is gonna be a bust, but that's okay
I'm gonna go for a quick evening stroll and then get back to tag you
take your time and don't be down on yourself!!
LET ME KNOW if there is any problemmmms
Also in my silliness The thread the needle being about a bunch of fruit
All I can think of is AHA FRUIT OF THE LOOM literally
I am blind to this sleep token but this makes sense in my brain so here we are
end of act 2, right when she and lumiere [spoiler]
Don't worry, the plurk has spoiler at the top but ya lol
so she hasn't been reconstituted, so she is kind of like. okay. am I dead...
She's gonna drop the bomb on her, I apologize
and she's PISSED about it
Collapse already kicked in
Should I keep up the tab?
Okay lemme go back and add the tab
It is a more spoilery comment
ty for letting me knoooow
Me pm'ing 3 different characters to ask if I can tag them lol
If even one replies with a yes, I'll be happy
I HAVE RETURNED HOME FROM MY ADVENTURE IN THE RAIN
lol 6 tags for somnia wahaha
I'm glad people don't mind me tagging them. They have much better prompts than I do lol
I am hitting the issue that I might be at my limit for tags for this tdm but I still want to tag many people
I am canonblind to practically everything but they all sound so coooool fffff
I'm not gonna lie. I really like some threads at Somnia and there are others I'm just struggling to find a rhythm for
I'm also trying not to spend hours on any one single reply but that means the quality isn't as good
Meanwhile, Sing is much easier
Idk if Alicia is easier to play than Act 3 Maelle or because the interactions have just been GOLD
The interactions have been great
Go with where you feel the most comfortable!!
I don't have an invite for Somnia haha
So most likely I couldn't app even if I wanted to
But it's been a fun warm up
I'm learning a lot on what's easier
aaagh I have to go to the vet and I can't get all the tags in before I go
keysmashes my way through
Going between Gustave tags to Verso's is jarring
I might be doing it wrong
But the whiplash is rough
THIS IS A SMALL TANGENT BUT
I wish Somnia's TDM had a Monoco
Because how do you mask a Gestral with a mask
I just. Wanna see. That. So badly.
Meanwhile in Somnia
Today has not been a good tag day, the brain's not braining
I had an allergic reaction to something this morning. Took a zyrtec, but it always makes my head full of cotton balls
Cotton balls, apparently, is not conducive to tags lol
But I will try again tomorrow
Once the cotton balls wear off
I only have 2 for Sing's TDM so I will do those 2 first
And saw that April's TDM there had a Monoco
But they posted at like the end of May
I kinda wish I saw them sooner, I would have tagged but now it's like........... 2-3 weeks since they posted and I guess it feels weird lol
Especially since I technically have Alicia, not Maelle
Oky those 2 done, now for the 4 at Somnia's TDM
At this point, I'm just treating it as practice. WHICH I GUESS is the point
But I've honestly never done TDMs before this
I don't really understand them. To me it feels like tdms should be a 'check the vibe' kinda thing
But here it feels like..............................
Although I didn't mean to take yesterday off from tags, I think it was a good thing
We've hit the 'give fewer fucks' point. What is moderation, I only speak Extremes
Kal if you see this, lemme know if it's fine she said no to seeing people. Obviously there's others but I figured it's too wonky to coordinate the timeline. There's some overlap already
nah that's fine, so we can have our separate things
yeeee I figured it's easier
I know it's about 4am. I know. I swear I can explain
My dad bought me some Itoen tea, not realizing tea has caffeine and because ya girl hasn't had caffeine since Shanghai (2 years now whoa) I ammmmmmmmmmmmmmm buzzing
It's my favorite bottled tea I can't help it
Sing might have a Monoco on the tdm tomorrow and I ammmmmmmmmmmmm obscenely excited. It is unhealthy
Here's me doing tags from my phone at 8 am because I'm in denial that I've lost my battle to get more sleep and am too stubborn to get up and turn on my pc
more sleep maybe any sleep
When I was just dozing off, Rufio decided to make biscuits on my face
I laid back down and Ru just SENSED it and he's back being aggressively affectionate. He'll bite me in a minute or two but he's so demanding lol fucking orange
Anyway tangent aside, we boomeranging whee
2 tags for Somnia to do. (maybe 1, I feel like the one with ... Noah I think it is could finish there..)
PROBABLY WOULD'VE BEEN 3 BUT ............. Alicia literally nope'd out of one of her convos and while it's their turn to reply I think that thread is doomed
I am really uncertain if that was the right call as an action. I think it's okay?
I MEAN the thread's great but lol they were just hitting all the wrong buttons with her
Anyway, those tags and thennnnnnnnnnnn Escoconut tdm
I might do the TDM first so it can sit there for a minute while I work on the other things
Things I only realized yesterday while I was reading over the FAAQ for Escoconut
Every party member in Exp 33 has either tattoos for pictos
Or like elaborate gear (Gustave's arm and Verso's...... arm thingy)
lol her freckles are her pictos
Anyway, I might play with that mindset to start with for Escoconut
Just because I think it's hilarious
F I get so worked up with faction games, even though I talked to Mart about it already lmao
AND IT'S FINE I'm just being silly
But ffffuucking Ickydick. I'm still bitter and it's been a literal decade
I probably should have like.................. linked all of these in the plurk's header but. lol I forgot
I'll do that now I suppose
"bad end" Maelle isssss way easy so far. She does not give a fuuuuck. She's already fixed everything so whatever LOL
But is there an existential crisis looming over her? No!
Sing reserves went up and I slammed into those. I'm really liking it there, the threads have been delightful so far and the pacing is really manageable
I think Somnia is a bust. I am not very motivated to continue tagging, I'll be honest
I'll be taking down my invite request as well once I have a moment
Okay request has been deleted
Shenanigans I am loving it
But I think bad end Maelle is definitely a factor
Is she going to end up fighting a sea serpent with Varric?

I dunno but I'm here for it if it happens
lol to Dragon Age assuming she's Orlesian
Did you wanna keep up our thread at Somnia? I don't mind
you can drop it, it's all good. I'm feeling kind of eh about Somnia too plus I just have too many tags on my own at the moment
Are you still thinking to app Lune somewhere?
I'm gonna wait a bit because I really just have too many tags with the character I have

it's a shame because I want to play her
That's okay though, better to do that than to feel overwhelmed I think
I just got back from dinner for Father's Day festivities and while I was in the car I checked my email for tags lol
Saw I got a tag at Sing from Gustave and literally yelled SHIT. in the car
My dad thought I was dying LOL
Or like forgot my phone at the restaurant or something
Apparently after 100 comments on a single post, gmail starts a new stack for emails
Sing's tdm has 400 comments at the moment
......... I have a quarter of all the comments on the tdm
Sing apps opened and I'm editing the app now FROM MY PHONE LOL
It's supposed to be like 3 positive traits and 3 negative but
..... I have nothing nice to say about Maelle LMAO
But I definitely cheated on the personality part LMAO
6 traits total? HAH. Try............ 9
I will be surprised if they don't ask for a revision. I always have to do revisions
These are me me me reminders for tomorrow
I probably should tag out to one or two more for Escoconut. I think I have the current quantity under control so adding one at the least should be fine
I already added another to Sing's
SO FAR small tangent though
I have messaged every person before I tag out to make sure it's okay spoiler wise
And consistently without fail the response is one of two things
I don't care about spoilers or I've already beat the game, come at me
Soooooo that said I put back Alicia's icons
I'm still not going to use them yet
But I just reuploaded them after I deleted them from the account for Sing's tdm
I'll use them once July comes around. Or after I can send out more feelers if I get into Sing at all
Hopefully that's not a mistake
I am trying very very hard to be mindful of spoilers. I am realizing that what some people call a spoiler I wouldn't usually think of a spoiler so I'm just...................... assuming everything is a possible issue
BUT EVEN SO...... no one has yelled at me yet so? Maybe? It's? Okay??
Anyway, tag out a thing tomorrow annnnnnnnnnnnnd yes c:
I lied, I realized it's nearly the weekend so I'm gonna hold off on tagging out until Sunday, just in case I get swarmed tomorrow
All things in moderation uwu
LMAO Waiting to tag out was a good call...
Waaah look at all these tags

mwehehehhe
I have a few more chores to get through and then I shall swan dive into this
I let some tags accumulate, alas. This week was super busy school wise but I also condensed it into 4 days so now I have 3 days of fun with tags c:
Next week is going to be........... crazy busy but that's a Monday problem
I still don't know if I should tag out for Escoconut. In part, I'm having a lot more trouble finding like unique things to latch onto
But I'll get through the tags I have there at the very least
I don't usually like writing out fights but the two I have ongoing are fun enough
lol it might turn into 3 ongoing
Emet.......... what's his butt. He looks like a Disney villain but I guess he's a Final Fantasy villain? Anyways, he's fun
I feel like they're competing a little? Maelle is losing LMAO
oky oky caught up for nowww
I took a glance at my classwork for the week aaaand it's a rough one. So I'm gonna try to focus on getting Escoconut's app done today
I know it's now July, but I'll start a new plurk whennnnn I actually have a game to plurk about lmao
I FORGOT TO UPDATE THIS YESTERDAY partially because I had cotton balls for brains and was delulu with homework BUTTTTTTT
COTTON BALL BRAINS IS REAL THO
I didn't sleep until 5am maybe 6 I lost count so that didn't help with the cotton balls
Cotton balls intensify
Anyways, while cotton braining I tossed in an app for ESCOCONUT
It's so humid here rn I am just /static/
The app is trash. But I spent hours considering and reconsidering canonpoints anddddddddd I gave up and left it where it was
Omgoodness what's the humidity %?
Or on a scale of moist to oceanic lol
Gonna get a tag back to u tho

me
no look I've been vibrating over that thread in dms
We're sitting at 85% but there's a thunderstorm coming so that's the weather's excuse for now
It could be going WORSE... to be FAIR...
SHE IS A WHOLE CONCERN what he's gonna say
they've hit the confusion point
I've been giggling endlessly about it
BUT OBVIOUSLY tdm so whatever
But in this trajectory, right
The fact they can even have the conversation, she's won
I don't think that fact would be lost on her either
I'm just glad that at least, playability wise I think it's okay?
I have the same canonpoint in another game but they have healy whatever magic so I let her keep her voice there. App is still pending so we'll see but
I was not sure at all if this would work out at all
Oh some folks in TLV have healing magic too 8D but it would be up to you if you wanted to access that ofc
also a new tdm has gone up if you wanted to toss a top level in :3
I honestly have no idea if she'd be inmate or warden
Which is kinda why I've not brought it up in our thread at all
I played at tlv 10 years ago with an inmate but I definitely was like INMATE I GUESS?? But in retrospect, that character shouldn't have been an inmate for the year that he was
I don't really understand the difference between them
/tilts hand/ Sometimes it isn't super clear. Just depends if you think she'd be more suited to helping another person sort their issues out, or if she has problems she could benefit having a 'different perspective' steer on more, I think
Ya, there's definitely a strong issue of not letting go, canvas addictions, etc. But simultaneously
She's only hurting herself and Verso (maybe Renoir) from those objectives, everyone else mostly benefits lol
I just don't know if that's enough to Inmate stamp
But also also. Now. I'm just rambling so lol sorry! I can also stop
I was thinking EVEN IF WARDEN she'd just ask for the canvas back and make it like indestructible this time
So that's where I keep spiraling in logic
if you use discord by the by I have the same username on there as here :3
I have procrastinated on many Escoconut tags, I've got about 5 I've left to cook. So that's going to be one of today's goals that I try to tackle in between homework assignments
lol I promise to start a July plurk soon, but it seems silly when I'm not in any games yet
Ahh Sing wants Revisions, rip me. Now I'm all anxious and doubting things again reeeee
Aaand sent in the revision. I have a feeling it's a bust and I'll just sit here and wait for that

fff I'm bad at this
I know I said I was gonna do tags but I might have lied. I'm too bummed to look at them so maybe it will be tomorrow
I definitely woke up in a much better mood this morning. And I think I'm caught up with tags now
