Following the subject, it's like the /reader or the /you how can people like reading this. I don't get it and I know I'm the one being weird there because apparently it's super appreciated and commonly read but I don't get why. First it's Twilight quality, second it's cringe af, third is that really something people want? Imagining themselves in sexual relationships with famous people and fictional characters? I... I'll become an hermit because I don't want to live in that world anymore.

I just created a new DnD character for a new campaign and I think I've never loved one that much, I'm sure I'll love playing that one. Even if he is extroverted while I am introverted af, he is so sweet, he just plays music to warm the hearts and I love his look, he's a Moon Elf, though he has shorter hair compared to the usual long and braided hair his race tends to wear. He loves dragons ( which is cool because our campaign will end with a dragon so it will make more drama uwu ), mostly Mercury dragons, he is lawful good and so talks before fighting ( something hard to do when there is a barbarian and a paladin in your group ) and he is ace, not aro though as I wanted to allow romance for him. My last character was really different compared to him, chaotic good, ranger, stealing for fun, killing and then talking. And he has the biggest backstory (yeah I'm that type) in the group.

People using other alphabets but still writing in English is really pissing me off, Greek is often, like OFTEN, used for that, but since I can read it... I just end up laughing at names because they don't make sense and I have to think a lot to know if it's intended or not. Even my friends do that and every time I go in their DMs just to tell them what they've written. No ρθτατθ doesn't make potato, it makes RTHTATTH... good luck with that name

"Edmund was born in a quite simple family compared to many other adventurers. His past is mostly made of songs and walks. His family had always been wanderers, like most Moon Elves, though every year it was tradition to gather with the elders in Faerûn to discuss the late adventures each had come across. And it was then that Edmund knew his destiny, he would follow the path of many Moon Elves by becoming a bard, a joy-bringer, a light-hearted soul to warm the fireplace a bit more and heal the agitated minds. It's indeed when he heard the high grammar, the many languages, the countless legends the elders gathered that he realised how storytelling was the best thing life could offer. Unfortunately for him his family, despite the countless adventures, never encountered any legend per-say. It was custom in his bloodline to follow the family, but his mind was already elsewhere, he lingered for more. So one day, he took his backpack, left a note to his dear sister, his true best friend, and left for new adventures. One day he would come back, take a seat around the campfire and tell the greatest tale to his nieces and his nephew.
From that point in time, Edmund was alone, he missed the usual talk around the late campfire at night, the chatting in the forest, the knowledge of someone beside you. His extroverted nature told him to find a home, a group of friends to trust and to bring joy to. He wandered a long time but unexpectedly, his first friend was a Dragonborn, a courageous fighter who wandered over mountains and forests in search of a mighty trophy, big enough to bring pride over her bloodline. Unfortunately, she died fighting a dragon. Edmund didn't flee, his heart told him not to, so he sang to the dragon, he sang and eased the angry mind. He stayed in the cave 3 years, long enough to learn the language he had started learning with the Dragonborn, the draconic. From this he learnt many stories, the dragon had encountered many soldiers, paladins and barbarians, but his duty was to protect his legacy. His nest. So he killed them, but not without understanding the beings he was killing. The Mercury dragon needed to be soothed from his unstable mind from time to time, but Edmund appreciated helping the old reptile. One day the dragon asked Edmund one last song, he obeyed and sang the most beautiful tale he could remember from his early childhood. And as his words flew in the rocky cave, the dragon fell into his final sleep where no dream could reach. He had secured his legacy after 1452 years of life and deserved his rest. Surprisingly Edmund mourned it for a long time. Himself had lost track of time. He still sings that song to the stars when melancholy manages to reach him, deep in himself he hopes the dragon can hear it from high above to soothe his unstable mind. It would eternally stay in the tale he would one day sing, dragons, even in anger, were misunderstood, and never would he judge from the first sight a creature others might regard as dangerous and deserving death."

My AU is really becoming my baby, just Darkstripe slowly discovering his mentor, hell, his hero, is actually a real monster just driven by power, it's... it's too good. I'm even thinking about him trying to remind Tigerstar of his mother, how she would love him to go back to who he was, telling him that he has nothing to prove, that he's not his father and nobody sees him that way. He could bring back Thistleclaw and how he knows what he did to him, how he wasn't born that way but shaped. But Tigerstar is already too much gone, out of desperation Darkstripe would cry out how much he loved his mentor, how he had been the best cat to him, the greatest. But even then Tigerstar yells he still is, he hasn't changed, he had always been like that and if he hadn't then he is the best version of himself. "Then you're truly lost." Darkstripe jumps at Tigerstar but is stopped in his attack, Tigerstar pins him down "you've always been weaker than me Darkstripe, the weakest of all even, I just happened to be the only one willing to share some air with you. You're not my apprentice, you are not my friend, you are nothing to me." And then it just angers Darkstripe, he fights as much as he can, and finally he uses Tigerstar's weight against him, he could even use a move he might have found out with Sparrowfeather during training. While Tigerstar is thrown away Darkstripe runs at him and aims for the throat, he bites with as much strength as he can, Tigerstar kicks and cuts him several times, but slowly his paws stop attacking and his gaze fades away. He stays like that a moment, waiting to be sure he won't get up and surprise him, as he pulls out his teeth from Tigerstar's throat he feels, tastes, smells blood. It's everywhere, it covers his vision, sadness builds up in his eyes as he looks at the body of the cat he used to worship more than StarClan itself. He suddenly can't stare at it, he can't stare at his paws, bile threatening to leave his body.
So he runs,
And oh boy he had never ran that fast.
He can't really see his surroundings anymore, only blurry shapes and shades. As he passes a brown figure he hears his name being called, but he doesn't stop, he doesn't turn, he can't.

I think I know why my mom who is meant to diagnose people with high potential or ADHD or autism actually didn't catch on my behaviour, she is the same. She is neurodivergent too and that's only when I talk about my struggle with social life that she catches she does the same things, so of course she's like "no I do the same you're not different, you just think you are to be special" MOM! YOU ARE DOING THE SAME OBVIOUS NEURODIVERGENT THINGS! that's why I am not diagnosed, not that it bothers me that much but I would like to be able to put a name on it one day.

I've just discovered one of my friend has done a 69, two are currently sending each other pick pics and that one of my friend who thought was aromantic is actually not and is one of the pick pics senders. And two of my friends actually have sexual fantasies including people from the group...
I swear I'm starting to hate this world.
I know we are growing up but oh my god I wasn't expecting that from my group, I'm so naive and innocent when it comes to that subject, I am so repulsed I can't put my head on the fact they might all have an active sexual life. My friend told me "we're growing up what were you expecting" and the thing is I don't know. I guess I wanted to stay in that bubble of innocence, being a weird one out that is extra introverted, not going to parties and never drinking or smoking. I know I'm the weird one here. But god it's so unsettling, I hate not understanding but at the same time I am so relieved I am aroace because it disgusts me so much.

I feel like the Monster Hunter movies will be like the Resident Evil ones, Milla will just be put upfront until she reaches the 10th movie where she fight alongside monster clones or some shit, where she's actually a chosen one, masters a huge dragon, has the most power, the whole squad disappears from one movie to an other and she becomes a damn goddess. I swear if that's that... I'm a genius. No but really it will be something like that for sure. It's once again her husband the director of the movie.

Biggest mystery ever: why is the Moulin Rouge soundtrack put as made in 1951 on Apple Music?
lemme check
ok so there was a Moulin Rouge movie in 1952
Wait Toulouse is based an a real French artist, okay, that explains... nothing but anyway, that Toulouse died in 1901... damn
Also can we point at Tuberculosis being a asshole in 1899, first Arthur Morgan then Satine
DiCaprio auditioned for the role of Christian... I'm sorry to say I am not disappointed by that, McGregor nailed it and too much DiCaprio kills DiCaprio
There are similarities with a book by Émile Zola, one of my favourite even, and now that I look back yes it has similarities and knowing it has actual French inspiration is heartwarming, we may hate the French but their art culture is a blessing.
It makes me sad Chocolat was actually named Chocolat in real life, racism at its core ladies, gentlemen and others.
That's unfortunate they didn't use Charles Aznavour's "La Bohème" or some reference to it, it's an icon for French music and actually fits well with the bohemian culture of the Moulin Rouge, the music relates facts from the same part of Paris and just would have been wonderful.
THERE IS GREEK INSPIRATION, ORPHEUS EVEN! I love his story and yes Christian is a damn good Orpheus.
I love that movie, it may be weird I feel like it represents so well the bohemian energy, just love, live first, freedom, between gray and bright colours, being that hope of happiness in-between the sadness of reality. Anyway if you haven't watched it yet, go watch it.

Sometimes I've got that terrible need to shove everything away, to put myself in a box and to lock it forever. I dream of an apocalypse and being the only human left alive, where wildlife would thrive while humanity collapses. I want to be a witness of all that but the suffering I would have to go through because I am part of this humanity scares me. Apocalypses never wipe out everything and everybody, if I had to live I wouldn't be the only one and fighting fir survival would become a necessity. But I can't fight, but neither can I keep on living in this world. I have those dreams where a god, often a Greek one, summons me and makes me one of them, to protect what I see as deserving. Where I don't have to feel hunger, lack of sleep, thirst or pain anymore. The gods can do anything, they can create anything, they are the mighty creators of the most horrible thing, humans, but also of the most graceful of all, wildlife. They don't live under the same rules that us, they are free in every way, but even then, they are oppressed. They are flawed in their system, they have a king with every power who bashes on sanity and destroys the people around him.

now that I'm homeschooled everybody assume I'm in vacation... so... no? you cannot ask me to do 25 different projects in a month just because I'm homeschooled, I have a project of Greek myth simplification through videos, I'm the only one doing the art of the videos that last around 20 minutes. I write them with a friend and some others do the voices, I know 20 minutes of video in-between my personal projects, studying and in January my exams is something I won't be able to finish before Christmas, and now my friend as talked to some of the latin/greek teachers I used to have about it.
Anyway, that project originated from a school project asking us to do a video explaining a bit of the Odyssey, it was with my favourite teacher so I worked during two weeks with my group, as soon as I was back home I was drawing frames for the kind of crappy "PMV", I really liked doing that project but the main problem was the voices. We were 15, and we were 4 people with no experience in voice acting nor writing. The humour was bad, the jokes landing flat, the dialogues were far from natural and were clearly scripted. So now we are a year and a half later and I am way more experienced in that kind of things, and now that I left school my goal was to gift things to my favourite teachers, including a redraw of that video. I was planning on keeping the voices and then I realised they were really bad and asked myself how we managed to have the maximum grades. So I have an idea, asking the one who did the bets voices to redo some of them, we also have two other friends who are really great at voice acting that were fitting for the two voices we couldn't redo with original cast (I had no contact with them anymore and they left our friend group months ago). I contact the friend I'll call E, E is the original good voice, though she had two lines she managed to do them perfectly. During the planning on what we would do the excitement led us to some new ideas, doing the whole Odyssey with more friends for the voices (we're about 8 in our group). So as a fool I say "yeah, that would be cool :D"... listen a few weeks younger me, you had energy which is something you rarely have. Anyway, we plan a video call to write the script, end up with good jokes at first and then- E: "why not doing a thing like the Spiderman cartoon, the scene pauses and little characters of us appear and we do a joke about Ukraine", I directly said no, joking about that was too dark for me, I'm really not into dark humour. We keep on writing and she finds another joke like this, this time not so dark but still really out of place, it's funnier to have recurring Ocs than a character meant to be yourself, a person living 2500 years after the time the story takes place. I want to say no, but then my brain reminds me I am supposed to be a good friend and not a jerk so I accept, I manage to make it a bit funny and a bit more acceptable, not pausing the action for a bad joke. From that point I am already thinking of giving up, doing it on my own and not doing any voice and finding a way out of it like Undertale and animal crossing did. But every time I remind myself it's a bad move, it's not nice and she seems pretty excited by it. So I keep on going, even if I am tired after every video call because of my tiny social battery. During the three days I was ta my friend's with the whole group we recorded 3/4 of the lines (I have to say one my friend has so much talent it makes me sad he's not a better person). E records her lines, it's a bit lower than the others and I record mine, problem, my voice is a bit too high when people are around me (don't ask me why I don't know) it turns out really bad and I realise it would make the already out of place scene even more out of place. I tell myself I'll put the idea in the trash during the editing and not say anything. I even redid my line at home to have it deeper and lower, but it still feels bad. My idea of doing it without any voice comes back and I start doing little music for it, I haven't drawn yet at this point, I was and still am more focused on my Warriors AU project. Then back to school for the others... she immediately tells the greek teacher she has this year who knows me from two previous years of latin and is on board the second she explains the project. That teacher, mrs.D tells her it can be her TFA ( travail de fin d'année ) which is meant to be an artistic representation of a greek myth, E agrees...
she
agrees
to use it
for
HER
GRADES!
She only writes half of it, I draw everything, edit everything, it's MY project, and she ends up earning points for MY work? So she comes and tell me I now have a deadline, I'm sorry? I have a deadline? for a project that was meant to be a gift for ONE teacher? After that she tells me mrs.D proposed to use it for the initiation to greek they now hold every month for the first and second grades of high school... E agreed... once again she agreed, the plan? doing a video for every month... and that the one on the Odyssey should be finished for October... I'M SORRY!? EXCUSE ME!? I truly exploded inside, I started becoming anxious, we were sat with the group for a lunch period where I decided to join Friday... So as I said, I act like I can't stay still, anxiety bubbles up with anger, I tell her I won't be able to do it, that I have to work for homeschool, that my exams start in January, exams with the same level than school but earlier, I only have 5 months to study 10 months worth of class already and you mean I have to spare more time to something that was meant to be a fun gift because you launched yourself in something I end up doing from start to finish? And the worst... my god, since it will be used for greek initiation, something organised by every greek/latin teacher and the 6th grade students (last grade of high school, so the year I should be in, E is in and most of my friends are in) in the option, she will have to announce it to the teacher that partly made me leave school, the one teacher I want to avoid the most. And worst, they might end up being involved in the making... I- no!! I told her I didn't want him to know or be involved, she then said we... WE had no choice. I said once again that I couldn't do it, mostly because I already spend most of my free time helping her for her latin class, so E said "but you have your whole day, I don't, you do, you can finish it in less than a month, also drawing won't take you much time" That's where I want to cry from anger, HOW THE F*** CAN YOU ASSUME THAT? she doesn't draw, she doesn't know how long I take for ONE drawing, my style seems simple but it's still a ton of deleted sketches, a ton of ctrl Z, and about 2 hours of my time... 2 hours for ONE. A video like this needs a few hundreds of them, and I refuse to do something I could do quickly but with an ugly style, no colour and nothing I could be proud of. It is an project for fun, something I want to post later on YouTube because I'll be proud of it, and all of that is not counting the editing time which is several days, finding songs, sometimes doing my own music, it's a few months project, I will not be able to finish it in less than a month. She also hopes we will make a living out of those, WE... out of the two of us I am the one who should be earning their life with that. I am sorry if it seems quite egocentric and self-entered but I have to stand my ground a bit. Now I have to go through the process of cancelling the project which holds dear to my heart, throwing to the trash my friends' lines since if I redo it it will be fully done by me. It just taught me it's better to do things on your own. I always hated doing projects with people and though I would give it a shot to become a better friend, but I can't go through with it, I can't talk to that teacher again, I can't put my own health and future on the line for stupid videos I wasn't even intending on earning money from. That a reason why I want to live as an hermit, every time I try to be social it turns out bad and I regret it. Also I might have to talk about some other friends but that group is doomed.

I'm participating in something I don't like, bashing others behind their back. I'm not alone in this of course we have a gang of three among our group and because two of us are aroace we are the least likely to share that we're doing it, so, we just gather every gossip, and we share them in a server between us. I don't like doing that, but I'm bored and I like drama. I feel like it will kill the group, but I think this group won't survive past high school so... I know it's not okay of course. It also helps me gather proof they really changed, so did I, everybody is going their separate ways right now, they just have school holding them together, but we're not the geeky group anymore. I don't play to the same games than the guys of the group, and I don't want to spend hundreds to play with them, two of the girls are now best friends and mostly talk about s3x, mostly the s3x they have. One of the guy is really pissing me off, two members, like I said, are sending d*ck pics to each other, they have something going on, another guy is really annoying right now, E isn't comprehensive, there's a whole novel about that above that message, one of the best friends is so egocentric I can't talk with her anymore, so, maybe I'll leave, maybe I won't, they still manage to make me laugh and we have our DnD campaign, but I feel like I'm behind, not left behind, but I can't keep up with them anymore, mainly because of my asexuality for some reason (I know it's weird).

I came across somebody saying Kassandra is a Mary Sue... okay... and Alexios "no he's good"... okay so I hope he knows they have the exact same story and dialogues so if she is a Mary Sue he is a Gary Stu, but no because Kassandra happens to have boobies so she shouldn't have any power, nah she should be saved by a white man right? right? hehe yeah of course.

I guess it's unfortunate Ac Odyssey didn't use the fact Kassandra is a woman and her society is one of the worst patriarchy of the ancient world to share a feminist message. I know they didn't because money, but it would have been great, because what we see in Ac Odyssey is pretty fake and not accurate, women were rarely outside but locked into their bedroom and sometimes went to friends' house but that's all, to go outside you needed a slave, there was a special agora where you could go, say yeah you're not allowed in the men's agora, and. you had no power in the society, just a bit above slaves. I hate the fact the game is a bit conscious of that but it's only addressed like... once... in a random mission for Stentor. Of course it's a dialogue you only have with Kassandra, she says "sometimes you'd better send a woman". And that's why I don't like the fact you can choose between Alexios and Kassandra, you can clearly see it was to not seem too much "woke" and let even the sexist gamers enjoy the game, and I hate it. It would have been great like Horizon zero dawn to have a female main character without ever changing to a male character. Though I am already happy the book that determined which character is canon chose Kassandra, Deimos is clearly better as a male in his acting, Kassandra's actress is great but not aggressive enough to me, Deimos is also clearly designed for the bad guy role while Kassandra's fits way more the hero type.
I also have to say I find it sad we were forced a straight romance, even a romance, in the first DLC, I always did my Kassandra as an aroace because I never found it fitting, but there I was forced to see a romance that doesn't have that much chemistry with a character you don't have much sympathy for. I always found Neema more interesting and would have preferred her for a forced romance, if the game can ignore women's treatment it can clearly ignore the logic of having children. Actually I would prefer the gay romance to use a surrogate mother and the lesbian couple to find a random man for this. One of the rare male romance available is with Lycaon, it's a pretty bad romance of course but it's there. I can speak about that by the way, the lack of male romance, not that I want more, but it's clear it's because it was intended males would choose Alexios and that Kassandra would rarely be picked, so they put mainly female romance to not hurt the straight ego of those boys. It's even horrible to go through livestream with males because often they will mock Lycaon for wanting to share Alexios' bed. because of the lack of man romance I typically head canon Kassandra as gay, she seems to allow herself to flirt way more with women than men, while the best romance is clearly with Daphnae, it builds up every time you go to meet her and having to kill her or be shunned by her is a heartbreaking scene. I always end up killing her for the capacity of not being attacked by Artemis daughters but still, it's the only romance I allowed. Kyra's romance is also quite conflicting, when you've played the game a few times and have explored the different endings of the Silver islands narrative it's pretty clear Kyra's romance leads to a bad ending of sort.
Speaking of which it's also sad there are only the Silver islands that ended up having a choice driven narrative, I know it's because that the demo and their main selling point was "it's choice driven" when it's actually not, you can choose to accept a mission or not from random quests, yes, but not more than that, they are only three endings and they always necessitate stupid choices from random points in the game. You have either your whole family is back, or, Stentor and Nikolaos are back, or, Nobody is back. Though some point can really change for example the main choices I've found in the ending: Final fight with Deimos -either he kills Myrrine and you end up killing him -you keep Myrrine away from him, kills him, and Myrrine disown you -or you managed to change Deimos' mind when you were imprisoned and the spear shows him is whole life in 2 seconds making him fall to his knees and cry and happy ending for you three
no
actually you five, because you CANNOT unlock the good ending if either Stentor, Nikolaos or both are dead, but the opposite is of course not needed.
Nikolaos' fate -You can kill him with your spear -or you can spare him, leading to him chasing his dignity and his past, seeking for a reason to make up for Kassandra and Alexios' sad lives, allowing you to meet him later in a not skippable quest where you can convince him on coming back to Stentor and prove he's not dead
that last choice is the only way to not kill Stentor and have the good ending, it's such a stupid choice that doesn't stand out from the others it's easily missed and you sadly end up with the worst ending no matter what, one. single. sentence. changed. everything. And you might "well they respected the fact choices are important" but it's so badly done, you're already 3/4 into the game at that point and the game has taught you one thing: choices matter but not so much.
Many videos on YouTube showcasing the different endings actually mistake the choice driven endings with different stories' endings. That's a mistake I believed in, when I googled for the number of endings before buying the game I thought there was really different endings with one where you end up in Atlantis, which is not true, and one where you defeat a cult or something, not true either. Those endings are just the ones of totally different storylines set later in the games and not really linked with the family Storyline, so they should have used the word "storyline" rather than ending. But anyway, even then I never regretted buying this game, it has good, it has bad, but since I have 2500 hours on that game I can tell you it's worth it. completing the story alone take about 100 hours, and completing 100% about 200-250, then there are the DLCs, the first one only takes a few hours to complete even to 100% it, while the second opens 30-50 more hours of gameplay, with a 50-100 hours to 100%, it's easily changed by your fighting style and infiltration style. What I like about the game is the real assassin style, you stay unnoticed, hide the bodies and have some fun leaving a random body to make fun of the AI. Though that way is longer, it needs patience to wait for the perfect moment to have an isolated victim, you need to hide the body quickly and yadeeyadeeya. Though stealth is made easier with on of the first DLC's ability, the disappearing corpse ability, it allows to make every corpse killed with assassination invisible to the AI. It's great but I don't take it anymore since it removes a bit of the fun and patience of the stealth gameplay. But it's a useful ability when it comes to health.
Damn I could talk hours and hours about this game, I know most tricks, funny bugs and glitches, the pros and cons, I know every region and could talk hours on end about the whole greek culture that accompanies it. Anyway that game made me love greek and latin even more, I was ready to take the science before that game came into my life. I knew I loved latin but at the time I only had one friend who was planning on taking science so that game just reminded me of what I love, and would never regret that choice in my life.
