Hello all~ I just want to take a quick moment to reassure everyone who's asked me questions about writing or said kind words are beautiful and wonderful~

However, the scam/spam messengers are not and will be blocked without reply ❤️

[allurasgrace]

As if PF2e did not consume enough of my time, I am also back to playing TS4 (🏴‍☠️). But ☝️ this is allowing me to catch up on CR4.

Currently Working On: Ch 5 of Gwen 10, rewriting the moral to fit her and balancing my own "Am I making her too much of an ass?" and "She's a pissant 10-year-old overachieving girl dealing with body dysmorphia by way of aliens, you know how they act, you were all but that last alien part" in the writing is a biiiitttttcccchhhh

Answering as the alter ego since I think it fits better aesthetically.

Last Song: "The World Calling," by There for Tomorrow (just finished the song as I saw this post as a matter of fact)

Currently Watching: I... actually haven't watched many shows recently, but I've been really into video essays lately; Shanspeare, Afrodizjha, and Jack Saint are probably my top three most recent video essayists who I've watched multiple videos from.

Current Obsession: Ben 10 (2005) but specifically the future timeline. Even more specifically the future kiddos.

Currently Working On: some drawings about the aforementioned future kiddos. I've got one of the Tennyson-Green siblings (Kenny, Gwendolyn Jr./Lyn, and Devlin) fully sketched out, and I'm hoping to make a similar piece for my OC Knuklhead!

Currently Reading: not currently reading anything, but I need to get my lazy butt to read stuff from AO3 users aeonianlunartine and Donsive.

Last Google Search: either "strands" or "charlie the unicorn" depending on where I look. (Strands bc it's one of those things I do for fun sometimes, charlie the unicorn bc it got mentioned in a YouTube video I watched and I got curious.

OG thread was getting extremely long.

Picked Allurascastle back in 2016, during VLD. Was Mooncloudpanther before that, but that's a different story. I just wanted a new user name that felt some relevance to the main fandom I was in at the time.

Chose Allurasgrace for my sideblog to be similar to my main, but less VLD oriented

[allurasgrace]

If mobile FFN weren't complete dogshit, I'd still do stuff over there. Very annoying that you cannot block on mobile and it refuses to load desktop for me on my phone

You know a deal your player is trying to strike is gonna he good when they say "kind and forgiving GM"

[allurasgrace]

The dangers of Tomodachi are that I can legitimately hit 70 miis from my and my husband's TTRPG characters alone. (Okay, and the party for AV/SF)

[allurasgrace]

I theory, I could put Lion-O and Leopara in Tomodachi, but. That would require me to make decisions about what human versions would look, and I really don't wanna

[allurasgrace]

What kind of horoscopes do you think each of the 2011 thundercats would have? (Plus Leopara)

I'm personally torn on wether Lion-o would be an Aries or a Pisces. While he has a lot of traits associated with Aries (impulsive and hot-headed), his empathy also makes him a possible candidate for Pisces.

Having witnessed the evolution of language in the horoscopes and that they're all described the same just in different orders, I really just gotta shrug about it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@harrierttv

We know there are bird werelords, so please consider this... secretary birdlord

STOMPY

[allurasgrace]

Anyway, that's a wrap on s2. I do think being 8 episode seasons hurts it, even 10 or 12 would allow it more room to breathe and develop characters, but overall I am intrigued.

S2 loses some points with me for how much time in the first episodes was spent pursuing Lucas and Gretchen. Tbh, fuck all really happened in most of those scenes. Like. Gretchen's escape attempt, and Baba Korga, are the only interesting things that really stick with me.

[allurasgrace]

I love that they keep selectively acting like fall damage can harm werelords. Fam, that makes 0 sense in the rules, as explained AND evidence from other scenes. Cam we please edit Whitley and Gretchen's response to "fuck! We JUST got up here, and now we have to go down THERE? 😮‍💨"

[allurasgrace]

Oh wow, did I fucking blink and miss Drew losing his left hand

[allurasgrace]

I've been having one of the prolonged migraines (8 days and counting) where nothing really seems to help. I've even taken Ubrelvy a couple times, which did lessen the effects a little bit...

Gonna just curl up on a couch with my laptop and watch stuff

[allurasgrace]

Whitley is having a no-good awful time

[allurasgrace]

Respectfully, Drew is dumb as a bag of rocks. I don't even love that for him, I just feel so exhausted for Whitley

[allurasgrace]

Bergan is also dumb as a bag of rocks and really let his pride doom everyone. Tbh
