hey! i'm phoebe!

i like homestuck, ffxiv, maimaiDX and MTG. i just want to ramble about whatever, whenever. i am from aus.

i love nepeta, terezi, dave and jade. terezi kin. i have a fantroll: scurra obitus, and a fankid: fawn kinsley.

i intend to write fan adventures with them and my boyfriend's ocs eventually. my username is my fankids's chumhandle but i also just rly like the name myself lmfao.

art by jumikitti.

i rly love maimaiDX and regularly go to arcades to play it ALL OF THE TIME. im kinda ok at it now. i will likely periodically post my scores and stuff.

i play ffxiv on the materia datacenter and the server sophia.

i like mtg a lot. i play high perfect morcant, and vivi ornitier as my main commander decks.

i love music: i love lcd soundsystem, jane remover, underscores, kmoe, porter robinson, madeon, etc. ask me about it :)

i am also a huge nerd and i love to manage my homelab, which is very small but very capable. all of my devices are named after homestuck characters. i can and probably will complain about it or discuss it at times.

feel free to send asks. will probably answer.

still alive, playing magic and writing worlds. just tired all the time

[chomplicated]

happy 413!

[midwestfrail]

should probably focus on uni for a bit. im just tired

[midwestfrail]

been writing for a DND campaign setting for me and my friends and ive realised not only how difficult making a world is but also how much i need this for myself

i literally wish to dream within this world on a nightly basis now, i want to dream on athryn to just let my subconscious develop this for me on a whim

[midwestfrail]

today was good

[midwestfrail]

gonna play maimai for the third day in a row today

just need to focus my life on something that wont drag me down

[midwestfrail]

i feel kinda numb and tired.

like it's not like my life is complex, im just kinda depressed i fear.

i played maimai today, got some magic cards and got some good steps in, and i still feel kinda empty at the end of the day.

i have got uni work to do, because i can't leave yet and i just can't stomach it. management at my uni just pissed me off bad cos they forcefully disbanded a project team cause they were confident "we wouldn't pass at the current progression of work" cause some people fell sick and all that. so instead of screwing us a bit less by giving us a chance, they're making some of us do seven weeks worth of work in two, with less people. how fun.

im just tired of that kind of shit, and just the quality of the units has dramatically gone down.

instead of sticking to this shit, im gonna try to go get some extra qualifications and push for a different uni to take me in. it'll add to my student debt (of which i have to hope i have enough remaining funds to do what i want), but at least ill feel less fucking numb to doing things.

happy new year 2026: beat my partner in mtg, which was a great way to start the year. his deck was pissing me off so bad because he has a spell with indestructible on it (myojin of night's reach) and i couldn't figure out for the life of me how to counter it (no exile/counter spells, my orzhov and azorius deck can but my gruul one cant), but i just realised i can just maximise damage output - asked for some help on getting it to a point where it's a little more usable, and now it's actually good for damage output. (see deck here on moxfield: please let me know of any changes you'd make, and strategies you'd take with it too!)

[midwestfrail]

also lowkey this deck sucked ass i dont play gruul anymore. rakdos goblins ftw LOL

maimaiDX 2025 recap

I started playing maimaiDX on the 3rd of September 2025, and I don't regret it one bit. It's led me to where I am now, spending so much time outside my home, and trying to meet new people and actually make friends.

I've ended the year at 12846 rating, which in just roughly 4 months is crazy to me, and so much further than I ever expected to reach, especially as I kept telling myself "no, where I am is the furthest I'll ever reach, and I'll never get better from here", and then I proceeded to get better. The inner voice is so full of shit, man.

My goals for 2026 is to reach 14.5k rating, maybe even 15k and to get at least 30-40 Master level scores in my top 50 scores. For songs to clear, I'd like to FC World's end BLACKBOX Expert (and clear the Master), clear Xaleidxscopix Expert and FC FLAME/FROST Expert.

I'm gonna try to post my scores on here more, so even if people don't really see them often, they'll still be there.

shoutout to all the friends I've made and people I've met while playing.

[midwestfrail]

i hit 13k recently (when i havent been sick or doing work ive been playing), and i actually think 15k this year might be possible if i play more and actually push myself further.

already, i have cleared the xaleidxscopix expert (and even got a 1 miss 99.22% score), can play most master 12/12+ charts, and some master 13/13+ charts, have gotten close to a world's end blackbox fc, and even nearly have solips expert S, tsunagite expert S, pandora paradoxxx expert S and I'm just having fun with it now.

go play maimai, this shit is goated

[midwestfrail]

have been around less and less because i've just been so tired from uni and unwell (i lowkey dont remember if i said anything but i fell down stairs after losing 2 games of magic, and then got sick. luck be in my favour apparently) in general, but i'm still alive. i just like to post from time to time.

i probably am going to drop out after this trimester though because i genuinely cannot take this anymore. management sucks and im just going to do some smaller secondary courses so i can meet some requirements for other courses that would do me better. fuck games programming and fuck this shit lol.

[midwestfrail]

been gone a while! living life, playing magic at my fav lgs, falling down stairs at my fav lgs, and getting sick.

oh well though :) still alive
