Subconscious thoughts, and conscious choices💋

[wouldntknowwhentostop]

Okay Im sure everyone has seen the Beauty and the Beast “Evermore” trend and HDIAKKXJAKZJXJAJZBDJAJZBDHAJ

Every time I think abt it I think about the Beast as like Koba and obv the reader as Belle and an AU inspired by this premise would be NCJKAKZJAKXJJA

Because okay like think about it. Koba’s cursed with his trauma, and the Reader just comes along and he keeps her hostage during the war against humans bc some apes had already been taken by humans too. But Koba and Reader fall in love and all that HOWEVER she has to go back because a parent figure has been found helping save some of the apes held hostage in human prisons and said parent figure got caught, she has to save them. Koba sadly watches her leave, expecting she’ll never come back (Koba singing Evermore will send me into a mental breakdown actually) AND WHILE SHES GONE the Alpha-Omega Faction storms the apes’ homes and Koba is almost killed, when Reader comes back and murders tf out of the Colonel causing the rest of his army to retreat while also saving Koba and the rest of the apes in the process. THEN THEY KISS AND LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER CJKSKZJSKXJDH

Once again, this was a random idea, and may be a lil baseless/ridiculous but I thought it was cute at 3am :>>>

Identity Situationist Pride Flag

Identity situationism (sexuality, gender, orientation, alignment, presentation, etc.): having different behavior regarding one's identity depending on the situation, sometimes leading to changing self-identification in a situational way.

This idea comes from queercore and homocore movements.

Make sure you have the ability to observe, all around...

"While symptom surveys will show elevated scores for depression and anxiety, mental health problems are more greatly driven by 'normal syndromes of distress,' such as demoralization, grief, alienation (thwarted belongingness), loss of dignity, spiritual crises, rather than mental illnesses. There are effective methods to provide care for normal syndromes of distress, but they require different skill sets from those for treatment of mood and anxiety disorders. Caution should be exercised to avoid over-medicalizing social suffering. The question, 'What happened to you?,' is often more the issue than, 'What is wrong with you?'"

It's not mental illness, it's just 💅 social suffering 💅

Combat Charms - Most Situational

When it comes to challenges, it is common for players to change their strategies and use charms they otherwise would ignore. Hiveblood and Defender’s Crest far outshine the other charms, tying with 50 votes, which is over a fifth of all respondents. The reasons behind these results are likely different for each charm. We suspect that Hiveblood is a good way to save on soul to heal, allowing the passive effect of the charm to regenerate their lost masks. This can be useful for bosses that deal double damage, as that forces players to use double the soul to heal back up. In particular, Traitor Lord may encourage players to use Hiveblood more due to the platforming gauntlet before his arena on top of the double damage his attacks deal.

On the other hand, Defender’s Crest is exceptionally useful for Broken Vessel and Lost Kin, as the putrid aura protects the player from Infected Balloons as they’re healing. And, since both Defender’s Crest and Glowing Womb make the top five, it’s likely that some players are choosing to use the synergy between the two charms to cheese certain bosses they don’t want to fight. Defender’s Crest causes explosive hatchlings to spawn when Glowing Womb is equipped, giving them a damage boost when they attack an enemy. Considering you’re able to perch in the top corners of some arenas and wait for the minions to kill the boss for you, like in Failed Champion’s overworld arena, this could explain why these two charms are highly situational.

Additionally, most of these charms may have applications in the Colosseum of Fools. When swarmed by enemies, Defender’s Crest can provide passive damage while the player fights to get out of the throng, and the hatchlings stack damage on top of that. Hiveblood is ideal for healing without soul while simply dodging enemies, and Unbreakable Heart by default increases survivability. Some players may simply choose to equip Unbreakable Heart for a single boss they find particularly difficult as well, like double damage bosses.

Unbreakable Heart may also find use in Godhome, whether in challenging the Hall of Gods or the pantheons, particularly for the shell binding. Since the shell binding does not affect the masks granted by Unbreakable Heart, it’s an easy way to make the shell binding less difficult. Unbreakable Heart also gives an extra hit of damage when fighting ascended bosses, and of course also on attuned bosses that are more difficult. 

And finally, Grubberfly’s Elegy has clear applications in radiant Hall of Gods, since the player is always at full masks when attempting radiant bosses. The long range of the beams from Grubberfly’s Elegy can also make certain bosses less challenging, like Markoth on his ascended arena, since the beams pass through his shields. It can also simply be gratifying to defeat a boss with the beams from Grubberfly’s Elegy, since bosses still take knockback from them; Massive Moss Charger lets you stand still and simply spam beams repeatedly until it dies. 

More to come soon!
