I'm Exotic_Almonde, but I go by Evealia (Eve for short).
I have lots of games I love and I talk about them here, in addition to writing fanfics, book commentary and showing off the art my friends create when they're too shy or hesitant to do so.
Here we collect husbands and gush about art. Feel warned, because once I start, I never shut up.
For Archiving purposes, this librarian friend of yours is going to compile a list of things I've written about so far:

With the creation of our Originium Arts server, I've been requested (countless times) to make the new LUNDInium Outskirts, so HERE WE ARE. The first ever LUNDInium Outskirts where Mlynar is not going to be in the tags!
Please enjoy this wonderful video Dr. Pinkie has made as a greeting. Happy March, happy Spring on this side of the world.
If sad, just allow your favourite arknights EO take care of you. They are trained professionals with all their arms, feet and appendages already prepared for your worst. Never underestimate the power of their willingness to follow you, Doctor.
---
In the previous LUNDInium Outskirts I had mentioned that Dr. Lundi has an alter version, which includes a lot of new freak fiends to dally around while we're doing heck all waiting for Chapter 16 to come out.
Fun fact: I had no idea that Moneta is a word for coin in both Danish and Latin, which is the same in Bulgarian. Somehow us Doctors are the furthest from each other and we still share a stray root somewhere along the line.
Dr. Kryo's sense of self-preservation waning at the sight of it, because he deems the small thing 'throwable'.
---
With a whooping 'not enough' of 125 songs, Dr. Lundi's Misery Playlist has gotten quite popular within our group. Even I am not exempt from having temporary good taste by picking out some of the less aggressive ones.
This is one of my favourites:
Rumours on RI-13 say Dr. Lundi is still avoiding Warfarin since they had that conversation.
---
The parasite has been imbedded and there's no way of getting rid of it if he doesn't become playable. Please for the health and sanity of our operators and other Doctors, make Misery playable, I have bet half my Dokomi earnings in he becomes playable by the end of the year.
---
Right, Misery Padoru Christmas to everybody....
It's been 3 months, ignore that. Hope everybody had a chance to celebrate New Year by this point and I hope to see you again next year where I will be late again.
---
---
IT'S NOT A DRILL.
IT WASN'T JUST A THREAT.
DR. LUNDI HAS OBTAINED A SANKTA TANK. THE STANK.
---
You WILL know Dr. Eve is not in the mood by the fetal position and the sadness in her eyes you only see in eastern european soap operas. Thankfully, there is someone much stronger than god at hand to help when this mortal vessel is inconvenient.
---
Dr. Bea had a strategy to get rich in an instant and both Dr. Lundi and I have stuck to it like bees on honey. For better or worse. Who knows, perhaps the EOs pinup callendar will actually hit the market eventually, so long as I get my head in the game and write what silly little snippets I have been delegated to.
We hope this mini collaboration brings smiles to people as EOs are getting more and more attention now.
---
Glen inspired by Mike Dirnt from Green Day
Honestly? Same.
---
And as an owner of a tank, one ought to use it any chance they get. Unlike how I had decided to frame it in the new fic that's being slowly brewed in my Gaul press.
---
Just a Sankta being a Sankta.
She doesn't know she is, in fact, one of the prettiest girls in the room too. That face is a weapon on its own.
---
Small creature has landed.
There is something very fascinating about the difference in density on snow between these two. One sinks like an anchor to the depths of the sea, the other alights on the frozen crust like a feather.
---
Due to Dr. Kryo's incredible thermodynamic powers, he has been selected as a sentient microwave. Any attempt to avoid being used as the purpose suggests would prove to be futile.
---
Although we never got a doodle of that (or yet haven't) Dr. Lundi is rather prone to getting sugar rush given the amount of candy she consumes, so it's not a surprise when one day Dr. Eve decides to follow a trail of candy left behind in RI-13, only to find Misery taking Dr. Lundi to the medical wing.
---
Success during missions sometimes shows differently for various Doctors. Some get more passionate than other.
---
Not the kind of witchcraft I was trying to run by her, but it is the kind she is applying correctly in an attempt to get the most of it.
Misery, be playable. HG get this woman to draw him, at this point it might be worth a try.
---
Fortunately, the blasphemous summoning worked and it was a bit skewed.
---
A while ago there was a post that mentioned how our wings would look like if we were Sankta, so now we are getting the other attribute - the halo.
We have the: Incomplete Atom, The Toss Hoop, The Swear Word, and the High Horse
---
I would like to say that Dr. Pinkie does have things written for her, but I have been unable to show any snippets, because they are literally snippets of different moments that are 3 paragraphs between and it's just unfitting.
One month, 20 days later, 7 anxiety attacks and a set of christmas lights on my window later, we return with another LUNDInium Outskirts post!
How have you been, my darling viewers? I hope the Christmas Spirit is already haunting you and that your bed is always warm when you sneak in after a long day.
This might be the Christmas/New Year Special actually, since there's a lot of art to go through, lots of fun stories to tell and probably not enough time to make a new post for THE day. Whoever doesn't celebrate,
Without any further ado, down to business!
We are starting strong with one of my favourite works by Dr. Lundi so far. She was very brave and gracious enough to tackle the task of drawing us with our top 3 operators. Dr. Kryo suggested this 'collaboration' via THIS post on Twitter.
As obsessions rise and fall in our group, it's always fun to see how we all somewhat resemble the operators we surround ourselves with. Dr. Lundi in this case is a sad boy hours runner and as the person who made all the beautiful, wonderful art you see, of course the MISERY ARTIST deserves to be the header of this post.
Misery, Mlynar and Exalter featured. A version with Ulpian added for the 5th horseman - Greed.
And as your storyteller, I, Dr. Eve, am here to tell you that you should read Act or Die and also play Crimson Solitaire, because Phantom is precious and he didn't deserve the horrors. Also read the Comic. Also, sign this contract that says you forefit your life to play a role that fits you like an undersized shirt and it never feels right whenever you interact with people since you'll always be left with the feeling you're somehow wrong or that they misunderstand you; almost as if [Redacted] [Redacted] [Redacted] [Redacted] [Redacted] [Redacted] [Redacted] [Redacted] [Redacted] [Redacted] [Redacted] [Redacted] [Redacted] [Redacted]
Dr. Pinkie: "Due to unforseen circumstances, Dr. Eve is going to take a short nap. Czerny, Hoederer and Phantom, you take care of her. Thank you."
Czerny, Hoederer, Phantom: "..."
Speaking of Dr. Pinkie, she always has the best food on her landship! Just look at how well-fed her operators are. Utage and Sideroca. Since Raidian is very new, she is going to take some time to fill up, but she has 4 hands to hold 4 burgers with.
We hope that there's some left for us when we go visit on Thanksgiving.
And Dr. Kryo, also known as Kazerik? We all know and love him.
He has collected only the finest allies that Rhodes can offer. Surtr, Nightingale and Ascalon are truly the cult classics. Fun fact to know about us, me and Dr. Kryo are saving for Silverash and Pramanix alters and I have promised that if he gets a limited operator in 1 to 10 pulls I'm going to kill him.
And knowing his luck, odds to see this man again are against him.
---
Two types of friends.
And only one operator x Doctor dynamic that suits some more difficult inter-nation communications.
---
This was taken by Dr. Kryo from THIS post on Twitter.
The Doctor of RI-13 is just the all-time favourite assassin, whatever the case. Speaking of which - remember that I have alluded to a fanfic for a while now, between a particular Kuranta and a Sankta? Well, it's officially on AO3 now, for anybody interested. For the sake of better familiarity with our Doctors, I have a new description blurb prepared this time!
---
Go read A Knight's Deliverance.
Introduction to the main cast:
Pinkie, Doctor of RI-00 - An entity from the depths of the Iberian sea. Despite their small size, their prowess in battle and quick wits were the basis of knowledge for many of the following doctors. Historian. Foodie. Linguist. Mathematician. They are in possession of all known Operators on Terra, have met every enemy. Little is known about their real identity.
Many of the female Operators on RI-00 have been observed to be taller than their counterparts in other landships.
Evealia, Doctor of RI-08 - An infected Elafia-presenting chimera from Ursus, studied in Leithanien and currently living in Kazdel. She is obsessed with books and pseudo-mothers many of the younger operators on her landship. A bleeding heart and a patient teacher for any willing Sarkaz. An open secret is that the Doctor of RI-08 has a great interest in Gaul and their history, secretly working on redistribution and hiring Operators from Gaul as well as a frequent visitor of the castle where the Crimson Solitaire Troupe used to reside.
Her expertise is mediation and negotiation between different nations and the delegators of the other RI. Professional gaslighter without discrimination.
Dr. Lundi of RI-13 - Lateran-born Sankta with a natural love for chaos, guns and sweets. Her favourite ice-cream is lemon and her hobby is running away from the boring administrative work, taking to the battlefield like a fish to water. Although infected, the Law has deemed her an anomaly and she has been able to avoid falling.
She has a history in Sami and often pursues the memories she lost before falling back in the Sarcophagus.
Rarely sees eye-to-eye with the Sarkaz race. With some exceptions.
Dr. Kazerik of RI-04 - The last male Draco of Tara. An exceptional commander and a persistent shadow. Though a man of few words, don't let his large figure and imposing aura distract you from the fact he's a sweetheart. Kazerik posesses many a title throughout Terra such as: 'The Cobalt Dragon' in Kazimierz, 'Don Kazerik' in Siracusa, 'Lord Duke' of Tara, etc. The official list has become classified for his own safety.
The Doctor often drifts between other RI landships and never skips an opportunity for hand-to-hand combat with other Doctors or Operators.
Current task is finding hints of Surtr's past.
---
I had a dream of this and had to make a meme IMMEDIATELY
---
---
Dr. Lundi has a LOT of new art that I don't know if I am meant to show the designs of her horsemen of the apocalypse, but I CAN say that the concept is incredible. We are getting a real Angel with a shotgun meets Angel of Darkness, the ultimate Nightcore clash of the century.

Lundi Alter Origin
After The Law was broken, Dr Lundi decided to keep a fragment of it for scientific purposes, both out of curiosity for her past, but also as some innate desire as a Sankta., but mostly, because she felt a strong need to understand the physical dreamscape it could cast upon people.
Countless nights were spent dissecting one of the black cubes, to much concern from her operators, who had never seen her this persistent in her work ethics.
Eventually, a discovery was made, and the piece of law in her possession, shared some of its knowledge, just like it had done to Andoain, at least such was the assessment made by Federico when discussing the breakthrough.
However, in the process, it was revealed that Dr Lundi was not a pure Sankta, but rather a false creation, and had merely donned the design of a race for the purpose of fitting in on this new Terra, during a time of awakening in the past.
Upon this discovery, a loud crack was heard by those who lingered in her office, and in this moment they would witness a Fall, as the Law had proclaimed her unworthy of even a fake halo, but if she so desired to be part of their race, she would still have to pay for her sins.
Whatever happened in the dreamscape she was shown, she didnt speak of, but she accepted the punishment without complaints. It was, afterall, a sin to imitate the image of God.
She still kept the fragment of the Law, and although her halo no longer would light up the night, she still spent countless hours in the darkness, to uncover its many mysteries.
A part of her felt familiar with the structure, and eventually, another breakthrough was made, in search of understanding the dreamscape.
Three creatures of the past became part of her consciousness, and they allowed themselves to manifest as fragments of memories, with the help of Originium and the power of The Law.
Now, as a Fallen, False Sankta, Dr Lundi commands the memories of three of Lateranos strongest warriors since The First Saint.
---
Speaking of which, Dr. Pinkie hasn't been mentioned often since chapter 15, has she? Well, the explanation for that is long and her travels have taken her to places beyond our comprehension.
Alas! Hearken this call! Dr. Pinkie has returned to RI!
---
Although I wish I could do my own version of this, Dr. Lundi also bravely tackled the task of drawing each of our Dr's eyes.
---
I missed the entire reason why Lundi drew this, but while I was trying to do the Reclimation Algorithm or whatever it was, taking Dr. Pinkie's MAX pot, MAX everything Wisadel has been the best experience I could ever ask for.
---
Some days
Dr. Lundi: "Hey Eve, what are you writing about today?"
Me: [Insert the most degenerate fic imaginable]
Other days
Me: "Hey Lundi, what are you drawing today?"
Dr. Lundi: [Insert conveniently drawing naked characters for proper proportions before dressing them up]
---
I promised Dr. Lundi another fic series that's a couple oneshots of Misery but this came to me in a dream as well:
---
Learned from Leaffeu that Tak in Polish means 'Yes' and Dr. Lundi followed-up that Tak in Danish means 'Thanks'. The world is a truly beautiful place.
---
No horses in this race.
---
Last, but not least, as a nod towards whatever happened in Laterano... The masses travelled and Dr. Pinkie managed to surprise all of us by making a ransom note about it.
Three of those words are not from Arknights. Can you guess which ones?
*Talkshow Voice*
SO SOON AFTER THE PREVIOUS ONE?! WHAT IS HAPPENING???
Well, Dr. Lundi is on a roll is what's happening. Welcome to your once-in-a-blue-moon-sometimes-twice-or-something LUNDInium outskirts, where we give you the hottest Arknights memes, reposted by yours truly, Dr. Evealia. With the gracious efforts put by Dr. Lundi to provide top-notch art quality and humour that could get even the most hardcore whale on Rhodes Island to chuckle.
This month is Misery themed! Again.
Thanks to Dr. Lundi's copium and Misery showing up on the screen at least 7 times.
We all love him and we all speculate about him.
Naturally, nothing really is confirmed, that's how much we don't know about him. Alas, this will never stop our smart and talented doctor from... Bonding with him any way she can.
She made an entire playlist with the word 'Misery' mentioned somewhere. Incredible, I saved a couple songs.
Here is the link: MISERY
Obligatory,
Warning:
The following content may have spoilers to future collabs, events and stories. Doctor, your discretion is advised.
It's okay to not Yeehaw every day. Sometimes it's enough to just Yee.
---
If you have been wondering where Uncle has been all this time, they have been speed-training uma musume style and... and sometimes speed is detrimental to the execution of the mission.
No Doctors or horses were hurt in the making of this meme.
---
Hoping that you've heeded the warnings and this doesn't come as a spoiler, Dr. Lundi has been having these *tingles* in regards to new events/characters/teasers that would be coming along.
Naturally, we have all gone to the edge of that black hole where we wonder if Mlynar wouldn't actually look fabulous as a centaur, considering that he is so very often associated with the Saggitarius.
And Limbus Company collab hits us exactly when Dr. Lundi went to bed feeling a vague premonition of what awaits her awakening.
Based on this conversation Dr. Pinkie and Dr. Lundi had:
Dodgeball of prophecy: Undodged.
---
I will use this chance to complain, since I'm the only one who hasn't finished it. This stage is an accordeon of nonsense. I hate it so much. It's uncontrollable and I am suffering terribly for it.
Meanwhile Dr. Lundi:
"I only listened to the beginning of Kyo's video and then tried to freestyle the rest of it. Only when I actually failed multiple times did I figure it's time to actually follow the guide, then it was easy peasy."
---
Dr. Lundi wasn't having a good time reading Episode 15, not because of a specific person that was generally invovled, but because of all the times somebody else dear to her ended up on the foreground. We are sorry you pick them this way, Dr. Lundi.
Based on this meme:
---
Thirteen drinks in and they definitely start seeing her without the help of Priestess.
---
Very enthusiastic hearing that we do get to rebuild the Landship. Thank you so much for buying an entire second one (that is ???? bigger I think????) and for saving all of us from having to go knocking on various people's doors asking to pay the favours back.
I don't even want to think about going back to Leithanien after Zwillingsturme.
---
This one is self-explanatory, but the real cream of the crop is Dr. Kryo's doodle being included for 0.4 seconds behind Warfarin.
Canon height of the Doctor according to eyewitnesses (me).
---
Based on this post on Twitter:
---
Do you remember these beans? Do you remember when we were just scribbles with barely-there features to differentiate the circles that were our heads? This is us now. Feeling old yet?
But for context... ... ... ... ... There is none. Dr. Kryo just lays Sultan style very often and there was a stray chip at some point- Sometimes, people leave gifts for themselves in the future and his just happened to be Dorito chip on the elbow.
---
Insider has not been referenced a lot on LUNDInium outskirts, but he is a very important part of the Lateran team. While we are all waiting for the Exualter to show up, enjoy the sight of Dr. Lundi shopping with him to make a 'welcome home' cake for the returning Sankta redhead and her sister.
---
Based on this fantastic image Dr. Kryo found for us:
I held the Doctors at gunpoint to ask for what their favourite ice creams would be, because we are all gelato enjoyers here:
Dr. Pinkie - Chocolate Vanilla ice cream with Peanut Butter Cups, fudge-covered Toffee pieces, White Choclate chunks and fudge-covered Almonds
Dr. Kryo - Chocolate chip
Dr. Lundi - Lemon
Dr. Eve - Cherry Cheesecake
---
In my dreams... I am taller than them.
---
ALSO, HAPPY OCTOBER 3RD, IT'S OFFICIALLY AUTUMN!
Can we just appreciate that every time Executor shows up he is colorized? This is truly THE original Lundi character, despite all the other ones showing up steadily, one after another.
---
The meme provider this time is ME:
---
Wikipedia article about our favourite Aegir Doctor by the way. Based on this:
WARNING
This post contains spoilers for the following Arknights content:
- The Masses' Travels
- Episode 15 Dissociative Recombination
That being said, I hope you enjoy!
We were talking about the mini car Dr. Pinkie really wants, planning to drive me around to show me the world. That being said, you can see for yourself... this is a two-seater, and we already agreed I am sitting next to Pinkie...
We figured that we need logistics to fit ALL of our friends. Everybody agreed to their assigned positions.
---
Dr. Pinkie drank the entire lake, just to go fishing. An Ulpian has been found.
---
Dr. Kryo has wifed up Entelechia ever since she was teased and I was rather excited to see her banner, because that spelled Nowell for me. As someone who wants Tragodia though, I can't really afford to pull overmuch on those banners. 3-5 wishes MAX.
Unfortunately, Dr. Pinkie has been struck by what we like to call 'Mini Phone Curse'. Twice she has gone to pull on banners on her mini phone. Twice they have pushed her to hard pity.
I thought to myself, 'I can help on this banner I wasn't planning to pull on anyways' and got Nowell on the first pull. 5-star drain unclogged, surely NOW oculus grandpa will show up.
Anyways...
It took a bit.
---
A common occurence with our Draco doctor is that he loves getting these chocolate bars called 'CATCH' Naturally, as the name suggests, we have to catch it as the Doctor very generously throws it in our direction at high velocity.
I have a sense of self-preservation, so I just duck and cover when I see him approaching.
But the man throws it anyways. Lundi is there to take it all.
---
Despite all the doodles, I hope that you are all aware Dr. Lundi is an awesome artist and she does have non-doodle pieces at the ready. You'd never guess based on the story and her Alter that she's just a goober who enjoys sweets and mixes cocktails.
---
Based on this, partially because I love Victor, partially because Fay wants to be Vi. Dr. Kryo is just generally good at fighting, but non-aggressive, while Dr. Pinkie is active-aggressive.
---
One of Dr. Pinkie's qualities. Speaking with conviction about things she never really knows.
---
You should've been there to hear her little gasp when she saw the team comp for the mission says Misery... Just for him to be nowhere in sight.
---
A throwback to this post as well, where I explained the snack drawer situation in the previous LUNDInium Outskirts.
We have realized that with the destruction of RI-4, Kal'tsit probably wouldn't have allowed Dr. Kryo to evacuate the snacks alongside the personnel, which means they're all cinder and ashes right about now.
We accept condolences as the family mourns the loss of one among many victims of PRTS. Dr. Kryo could still be heard spiting her through the gameplay. He's been Eblana-bana-ing her left and right. Priestess is not coming out of this at all.
---
Coping.
---
Raidian irrelevant, since she's not Misery.
---
During her pulls, Dr. Pinkie had a fantastic time getting Mon3tr very fast very soon (after I jinxed her first 10 single-pulls which forced her to get the WRONG 5-star the first time) and then had a double 6-star in 10. Only to succumb to peer pressure and blow another 30 pulls for Saileach.
This is an abstract representation of her experience as an AEgir sacrifice.
---
Crazy to find out that this post wasn't in LUNDInium Outskirts, but in Dr. Evealia Operator Records, where I generally posted some friend memes. I don't know how this slipped me.
Does anybody remember our little thievery of Uncle when he was a cardboard stand somewhere in China? In fact, I think someone tried to take him away, but failed to do so. In any case, nothing can stop a Sankta with a conviction.
Which is why, we're doing it again for Dr. Lundi's new obsession.
---
L -> R
Based on this, that I have now watched 10 times before making this post.
---
They always catch me off-guard, I can never get this man in my sight properly. How is a Doctor meant to be writing 15K words of smut when the man is in and out like a shadow.
Such Is The Joy of Our Reunion - Eve's Adventures Through Yan /Part I/
Hello, hi there, Tumblr's laziest Arknights storyteller here with another event that benefits her and nobody else. How have the seasons been treating you? I hope kindly, because I am here to only make it worse.
It's a fine Sunday afternoon, I have an energy drink at my side and a bowl of grapes. I did the laundry, had lunch, and there are hours to spare as I go through the story.
BUT FIRST!
As is tradition, I will mention the New Banner and go through my impressions of the characters. If you don't want to see that, you can just go to Part II and have a read of the story.
So, you're here to see another Sui sibling? My pleasure to introduce you to this little sweetheart! A lot has been said about Yu throughout the last six months and it's been all positive.
He's the youngest Sui sibling to reach us - the twelfth fragment, confirmed by the pattern Hypogriph has left us with in regards to their birthdays.
Yu's main role is Defender, but his branch is a Primal Protector, the second of this kind. Only other known is Philae (who I even forgot about, since she was introduced in I Portatori dei Velluti).
Primal Protectors are similar to Arts Protectors, but have the ability to inflict Arts and Elemental Injury using their skills like Ritualists;
They lack DEF, but have additional ATK and RES + they're stronger when faced with Elemental Injury.
[Marketplace cook Yu, in front of his stove 24/7.
Whether chopping, roasting, or washing greens, he can do it all.]
That being said, there's not really much to compare between them in terms of basic stats, so I'm just going to talk about his abilities.
Firstmost, Yu's two talents:
You Feed Me, I Feed You
When blocking enemies, gains 25% Sanctuary; blocked enemies receive 40% of ATK as Arts damage and 12% of ATK as Burn damage per second
For those who have forgotten what Santuary is:
Sanctuary reduces the Physical and Arts damage taken.
Multiple instances of Sanctuary do not stack; the most effective source takes precedence over the others.
(Examples for characters with Sanctuary are Hoederer, Shu, Tsukinogi, Penance, Windchimes, etc.)
Midst Markets, Dragons Dwell
When there are at least 4 Operators on the field, recovers 1.5% Max HP as both HP and Elemental Injury per second
I actually don't have any characters with Defensive Recovery OR with taunt in their kits, so having Yu is actually very nice. In comparison to the other 2 Sui Defenders, Yu has more HP than SHU at MaxLvlE2, he is more expensive to deploy with a whooping 26 DP cost, but he attacks faster and has more ATK than both of his sisters. Considering his 'Sanctuary' passive and especially since I can see a Module coming flying his way already, I can almost say for sure he'd fare just fine enough.
Passive Effect: becomes more likely to be attacked
Max HP +40%, DEF +40%; every time Yu is attacked, deals 40% of Yu's ATK as Burn damage to the attacker
Charges for 19 seconds while blocking at lvl. 7, lasts for 30;
Charges for 16 seconds at M3.
IMPORTANT to note, a lot of talk has been happening with Blaze being dependent on Yu, yes. I knew that it was because of his Skill 3. I can confirm that this skill does trigger the Elemental Burst and is just as effective.
---
Immediately deals 100% of ATK as Arts damage to all surrounding enemies and teleports those ground targets that can reach Yu to his position; Block +2, Max HP +130%, ATK +200%, and normal attacks deal Arts damage
BLOCK +2 ARE YOU ALSO SEEING THIS, IT MEANS THIS LITTLE MAN IS GAINING A BLOCK OF +5 for about 20 seconds, while also turning himself into a nuclear powerplant. What a champ.
Also, Arts Damage dealer for those pesky enemies that are immune to Physical.
It's important to note:
Yu will increase his stats first,
Then deal the damage instance,
Then teleport enemies 0.13 seconds afterwards
---
Max HP +80%, ATK +80%, DEF +80%, and grants effects of Talent 2 to all Operators on the field; creates a wall of fire spanning the entire field; Arts damage dealt by other allies that crosses the wall will deal an additional 7% of Yu's ATK as Burn damage; enemy projectiles passing through the wall have a 15% chance of being removed
This is the Magnum Opus of Arkinights right about now - the great wall of fire that stretches across the field, and any damage that goes over the wall becomes Burn Damage.
Every Blaze, W-Alter, Logos, Goldenglow and Passenger in proximity to The WallTM will have, as the kids say, a blast.
I also like that there is a % chance for the enemy attacks moving from their side of the wall to 'yours' could disappear. Thank you Logos, for introducing that magic trick to us.
That being said...
I GOT YU TWO TIMES!!! He came home together with the Blazter twice for all 120 pulls I had saved for him, post-Mitm devastation. I'm currently saving for the other banner I'm extremely excited to see, and I pray that my patience will be repaid again.
Whoever thinks I wasn't patient while saving for Yu is a hater, by the way.
Anyways, Yu out of the way,
BLAZE ALTER!!!
[Rhodes Island Elite Operator, willing to burn herself away to see your shared dream realized.
Her flames may not miss a single enemy—but if you need to light some birthday candles, just use a match!]
Primal Caster, huh? They've really been getting incorporated recently - much more than the Primal Defenders at least.
Blazter is of the same type as Diamante, Warmy and Nymph with their usual problem being that they cannot inflict Elemental Injury on their own. 'How to know if your operator is dealing Elemental Injury?' some would ask. I've asked myself this every time a Primal Caster falls into my hands.
Does that funky little circle show up anywhere around the enemy? We got 4 whole variants!
If it doesn't show up, then they don't deal Elemental Injury. Thus, most of the characters I already mentioned are USELESS if they don't have a Ritualist Supporter or any other characters that possess Δ modules.
(I'll help you - as of 20.07.2025, those characters are Logos, Ifrit, Ebenholz; Viviana is on the list of 'does burn damage' but I am unsure if she does Elemental Injury.)
Blaze is no exception to this problem.
But that doesn't make her utter trash in my opinion. If one is to close their eyes and act like she's a Core Caster that does big explody damage, then it's nothing new under the Originium sky.
After all that unfortunate information, we can move on to her Talents
Meltdown
Whenever an enemy triggers a Burn damage burst, immediately deals 350% of ATK as Elemental Damage to that enemy and recovers 12% Max HP
'Inflicted by enemy' suggests that the enemies are the ones who are meant to do the burning, not vice versa. In that case, I can only assume that this talent is not usable in the case of facing the Flamethrowers, any of the Dublinn Flamechasers, etc. etc.
From The Ashes
When defeated, becomes downed instead and gains 6000 Barrier; cannot attack or be healed while downed, but recovers 3% HP per second; once HP is full, revives and stuns nearby enemies for 5s
There is no limit on how many times From the Ashes can be triggered, but it will not activate if Blazter takes lethal damage.
While Downed, Blazter is immune to Stun and Freeze, and can still restore SP even if she is not using her skills. During this time, Blazter can also be healed by Meltdown.
Selects the Operator with the highest Max HP within range, dealing 55% of ATK as Arts damage and 30% of that Arts damage as Burn damage to all enemies surrounding that Operator every second for 20s
Can't go wrong with an Auto skill and she is much like a Besieger or a Deadeye, but she just targets the enemy with the highest MAX HP.
---
Attack Range changes, Attack Interval increases, ATK +120%, attacks 3 enemies at once; when attacking, loses 5% HP and sets a burning field at the location of the target; passing enemies have -50% Movement Speed and takes 35% of Blaze the Igniting Spark's ATK as Arts damage and 30% of that Arts damage as Burn damage every second.
Pretty straightforward, there's not much to say. She technically turns into a Hexter for 35 seconds.
---
Attack Range changes, ATK +85%, Attack Interval greatly reduces, and normal attacks now deal AoE damage; If the target is under the burst effect of Burn damage, deals an additional 70% of ATK as Elemental Damage
Loses 3% of Max HP per second; skill activation grants 21 ammo, and whenever an enemy enters the burst effect of Burn damage gains 2 ammo; skill ends when all ammo is used (Can manually deactivate skill)
Now THIS is the skill we all care for.
Again, while she does apply burn damage with these two abilities, she doesn't trigger the Burst herself, which is why it's implied that IF the enemy is under the burst effect of Burn damage, she deals more Elemental Damage.
To get this fun effect, you'd need someone like Bobbing or Warmy, Yu or anybody else you can think of. Don't let the pyro cat walk this world alone, you need to hold this 30-year-old's hand all the time.
[Baizao food critic Xingzhu, inviting you to partake in the refreshments she most cherishes.
A poem for all sour and sweet, a sigh for all bitter and burning.]
Free operator from the event, just another Abjuer with a simple talent called Friendship Fair, Together Tied which at E2 grants 10% Sanctuary to 2 other allies within range.
Her skills aren't that impressive, but the whole shtick is that she deals Arts damage all the time and using the skill makes her heal nearby allies. Can't be more of a support than this.
Immediately performs a heal to all targets within range equal to 290% of Xingzhu's ATK.
At level 7 it had a charge time of 11 seconds and I would've killed to have this skill be on Auto, alas.
---
ASPD +43, heals 1 additional target, and the targets of Xingzhu's talent recover HP equal to 18% of Xingzhu's ATK every second
It's... weird to see flat ASPD buffs because I don't usually touch Abjurers, but I guess we all have tricks up our sleeves.
On top of that, the 'every second' part is apparently not stated in-game, but an approx measurement because every +HP is delayed by 0.01 seconds.
That being said, I can't wait to see her in the story and bond with her, because she is ao adorable and I don't get to like her type of character that much. Will I level her up? Probably. Will I ever use her? She doesn't have anything useful in comparison, I mean... It's sad.
Tsukinogi reveals enemies.
Silence Alter makes enemies unable to receive lethal damage.
Quercus helps with SP gain.
Nine-coloured Deer gains ranged physical resistance.
And Xingzhu heals.
The choice is yours, Doctor...
But after all that, we can't possibly have an event without a completely unrelated character who will most likely never be seen inside the event itself and is here just to skew my chances of getting the 5 stars I truly need.
No, this commentary is not biased because she showed up 9 times within 120 pulls.
[Blacksteel advance recon team member Surfer, always looking forward to her next camping trip.
The endless sights of the wilderness unfold before her. It was there that she found herself, and there that she caught a glimpse of her parents, long-departed.]
Like, we finally get another Blacksteel character who is playable and she is not only pointless to the story, but useless in technicality. Anybody who wants her as a waifu, you GO and never listen to me, but it's unfortunate to show up with this type of kit when we have Puzzle and Cantabile. I'm not even going to look in Ines' direction.
Surfer's Talent is Solo Traveler, where if there are no other operators in the surrounding 4 tiles when she is deployed, you gain 2DP.
The only operator I can compare this to is Puzzle, and his Talent gives him free rein on 120% of delicious ATK, and he recovers 2SP when hitting an enemy with full HP. That helps later with his skills.
After deployment, ATK +70%. Generates 1 DP after each attack
Absolute same as Cantabile.
---
ASPD +40, each attack grants 1 DP, and Steals 40 DEF from the target (max 200, lasts until skill ends or Surfer is retreated)
This is definitely unique, although I'm not sure how useful it is to tank up a character who is otherwise going to die from 3 hits the moment those 10 seconds are over.
Hey, but at least when you assign her to the Base, she gives you clues that are not on the Clue Board!
9 books I'd like to read in 2025; some of them have been sitting on my tbr for as long as late (or even earlier? I think the fried green tomatoes have been there since summer of) 2022. maybe this is the year I finally read them.
@flower-biter and @goblena this is a "naaaw they thought of me!!" post you're invited to forget about or participate in
So many books, so little time 🥲 thanks for the tag @heyspaghettihey
(I’ve been reading Bright Young Women sporadically for the past…nine months? I can only handle so much violence and misogyny at once but I do like the style). I’ve been eagerly awaiting Bury Our Bones since it was announced and I really hope it lives up to the hype. The rest of these are pretty recent additions to the tbr :)
@lullsinelocution and @curlingtoes join if you’d like? But no pressure 😊
thanks for tagging me @flower-biter and sorry for taking a little while, it looks like it will be a rather blue year but I'm trying to read more books I actually own already!
but I didn't realise Schwabb had written a new book! so bury our bones may supplant at least one of these
no pressure tags @vagueshape @skullchicken @mr-ladystardust
I've been trying to get back into reading more, so these are mostly shorter lol (I've been chipping my way through House of Leaves for a while though 😅)
No pressure tags: @elyre-the-liar @robbyrobinavitch
Thank you @elyre-the-liar for the tag!
I finally found all the most important books I wanted to read for the year... But the third row is mostly showing up past September, so we're on a bit of a schedule.
Ily @kryoboy and @corvoshomeboi, you're being @ ed because these are the books you'll be hearing about. Be ready.
As all of Rhodes Island knows, Dr. Lundi is the heart of the party! She is the one who can down 13 drinks before her hands would become stable. Followed by Dr. Eve and Dr. Kryo, who hold their liquor only because it's 10% of their blood.
However, with indulgence on the occasion comes the necessity to care for the inebriated. For Dr. Lundi, drunk aftercare looks like this.
"RI13 is called 13 because that is where Doktor Lundi starts getting funny."
Comment made by Dr. Lundi immediately after she sobered up (20 mins and 1 glass of water later)
---
That being said, how are everybody's Furnaceside Fables going?
Oh, me?
I managed to beat Fremont after complaining about being bad at IS for anywhere between 4-8 business days after it released.
Then, as that was my first IS boss ever beaten, I went ahead and did the same with Phantom.
Long live W'alter.
However, Dr. Pinkie and Dr. Lundi had been having much more fun exploring different mechanics and learning how to achieve the most perfect scores through the funniest strategies.
One of them being,
Ulpian's dash counts as a redeploy and bypasses the Sarcophagus. Ergo, Fremont can't do anything about it, because Ulpian just redeploys himself real quick, and that mitigates the effect of the sarcophagus.
Some are just made with Skill enhancements, others are not.

FOR THIS POST, VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED FOR SPOILERS OF THE NEW EPISODE AIRED ON THE CHINESE SIDE OF THE WORLD A MONTH OR SO AGO.
AGAIN, SPOILERS, YOU CAN SKIP THIS ONE.
Since Rhodes Island 00/04/08/13 might have become out of commission, we Doctors have agreed that perhaps a logical next step would be to part ways so we can figure ourselves and the survivors out.
Dr. Kryo is picking up his remains and moving to Dublin, where he will receive support and aid from the new Queen. Getting distracted by The Unemployed while he is at it.
Dr. Pinkie got uploaded into the Cloud, so she's sleeping for a bit. It is okay, though, she is immortal and will be back after a short break.
Dr. Eve is going to move to Leithanien.
And Dr. Lundi gets to follow the story into Laterano, where she will do what she does best.
Hey, how did you sneak a Sarkaz into Laterano...?
---
Forgot to mention, because of course I would, but I have been working on another fanfic inspired by Dr. Lundi and her forlorn soggy horse companion.
Unfortunately, with my exams around the corner, I haven't had much time to update, and she's getting desperate watching me doing incredibly important enrichment instead of slaving to the keyboard again.
---
Setting two same images side-to-side.
---
Kurantas has a significantly higher implementation rate than Sarkaz.
---
The average height needed to hold onto those things, just barely, is 162cm. People who are shorter and would never reach:
- Fartooth
- Blue Poison
- Dr. Eve
- Mon3tr
- Nymph
And, of course, Dr. Kryo is always here to help get to those pesky hard-to-reach spots.
---
If any dedicated viewers of LUNDInium Outskirts have ever come across the story about the snack drawers some time back, I need you to understand that Dr. Lundi was not allowed to know about it. She is the 'Treat?!' 'No treat!' meme personified.
Dr. Kryo was nice enough to store snacks for all of us in that drawer, so he could pull one or two out whenever we did a good job. That's at least, how I got Pavlov dogged into guiding in previous events.
He would keep vanilla pudding in there for me.
And...
Well.
Dr. Lundi found out.
---
Dr. Eve is sometimes her own worst enemy.
This is why I love Sunday HSR.
---
Being an artisan of guns and the only one allowed to actually own them, and the one who knows how to use them... She has boldly been allowed to upgrade into something that damages not just RI13's funding.
Through means necessary or not.
---
The previous post has given us all many questions, though. Fortunately, there are always even more answers to be had on the discussion table.
---
Dear Diary,
Dr. Lundi was so nice to me today. Despite exploding Dr. Kryo's beautiful snack drawer, she has apologised and has offered to tickle my gambling addiction to figure out what sort of snack I will get.
Here is what I picked-
Dear Diary,
She is not going to see a single new chapter for the Historical AU fic until her birthday.
---
Me: "Is there any context for why Surtr is grabbing Dr. Kryo?"
Dr. Lundi: "Kryo just asked for it."
Me, writing down: 'Participant's Badly Hidden Kink involved being manhandled by his wife.'
Dr. Kryo: "I got lost in a crowd and Surtr was trying to find me."
Me, erasing what I had written so far: "Oh."
---
How to understand women:
You can tell a lot from a woman's mood just by her hands.
For example,
If she is holding a gun, she is probably angry.
Dr. Lundi let me hold this one :D
---
But I can't hold that one :|
---
I was initially against this sort of behaviour. Yet seeing that all my husbands require eating salt, huffing paint and crunching on magnese, I think that a little horse powder for the horse girl can do her some good.
AN ENTIRE YEAR AND A HALF OF WONDERFUL FRIENDSHIP TIMES AND EXCITEMENT
THIS CALLS FOR A CELEBRATION

For the occasion, I'm cracking open the Eve catacombs so I can revive a good chunk of things that never got to previous posts (I think, I don't know, I have dementia).
---
At the end of the western passage, one can see the land and the sky. Once, it was an arms dealer's territory. I worked under him in my first few years in this place. He was a born despot. He left several welts on my back, but I've no hate for him. It was only natural, just as it was only natural that his irate underlings slit his throat in drunkenness, before throwing him from a cliff. I placed my first gold coin in those turncoats' hands, and it was warm to the touch.
"I don't hate him, I just paid to have him killed."
Report brought to Dr. Eve by a Medic Operator
Dr. Eve: *Looks between the doc I just got (for obtaining the module) and then back at him again*
Passenger: *Opens mouth*
Dr. Eve: "No, no. I don't need that."
---
Chongyue: "Doctor, a weiqi player like you is truly a rare sight."
Dr. Eve: "Thank you! I cry all the time."
---
For those who don't remember, I had a post mentioning a yumeship fic I was writing between Dr. Lundi x Mlynar and Dr. Eve and Hoederer.
Here is Dr. Eve explaining to Lundi why marriage is inevitable.
---
Me, stripping him, because he's been cheating at cards. How uncouth. The gall. WHO DO YOU THINK I AM? A sore loser, that's who.
---
Losers.

Also, here's the actual anniversary gift - I'm writing ANOTHER Mlundi fic... It's 100 pages already, but there are TWO doodles I am in love with and she can't stop me from showing them:
Saintess Lundi and little Otto (Evaderer's son)
+ Evaderer love, I've been looking at this for the last hour and it's distracting me from doing literally anything but dry-heave and kick my feet. I'm so BLESSED.
