Sure, I went in blind and used Erice, Voyager, and my Castoria. Otherwise I had another support Castoria and also Mash, and then Taira no Kagekiyo to solo in case I needed to (and I did, though I utterly obliterated the enemy with them/her lol). 
(Spoilers just on fight mechanics)

Erice had a helluva of a time trying to get through the first break bar, but Taira no Kagekiyo has no gender assigned to them (I think), which really helped out near the end. Also I accidentally brought in a Mystic Code with Guts on it (I was tired ig lol), which ended up nearly working out. I was going to stack a second Vengeance Stack on Kagekiyo, but the demonic Orion boar died before he had the chance to trigger it lol.
Story-wise I honestly just am extremely concerned. Somehow normal Orion and lovey-dovey Orion are just as disturbing as each other, which is pretty impressive if you ask me

Interview went a-okay! I feel like I talked too much but honestly it wasn't too bad. I think.
We also got an update on the HYXHN donghua! Wumu's voice sounds older than I expected, but honestly I dunno his age. Again, I'm very much looking forward to it, whenever it comes out. Best arc in the manhua imo.
And the manhua updated too ofc, it does every week for the most part. I loved the recent chapter, and rereading the work is fun for me. 
Anyways I feel kinda bad talking about good stuff while a good number of you seem to be sick or going through hard stuff. I hope you all get better, and I swear the good stuff here is supposed to be unoffensive. :D

Good luck with your college admissions! It's definitely nerve-wracking but I hope you get what you're looking for. I had a lot of people tell me not to worry too, but at the end of the day I think it's healthy and normal to have anxiety tied to it. It's a big step, but I also agree with them saying you'll be fine no matter where you go. You've probably heard everything under the sun about it right now but genuinely, the vast majority of your college experience is how you decide it's going to be. You're extremely capable and anywhere you go is gonna be lucky to have you.

I forgot the random things I was gonna say otherwise oof.
I guess...AgK! Abridged updated a few days back (or yesterday lol idk)! Again I can't recommend it because of certain jokes, but Run remains child-friendly and I love him. (Spoilers for the recent episode technically, also said "child" is me btw. I'm the child.)

"Jimmy died. Immediately. Immediately." had me up in stitches lol. I dunno why, but the editing was also great there. 
His emphasis does imply he has some morals, which is interesting. I think the best part of his characterization in the series is how he's clearly intelligent but just doesn't care most of the time. Though in this episode, he seemed to care a bit (which kinda surprised me). I liked him coining key phrases (morale) to try to get Esdeath to act, which really felt like something he'd be able to do. Also there's just something about his priorities vs. Bols's that was so funny to me lol.
Another thing was that with Wave mentioning morale, I like to imagine that Run was emphasizing the phrase to his friends in the most deadbeat fashion possible and Wave ended up parroting it. There's just something so funny (and also heartwarming) about Run saying something and then Wave repeating it even in canon, if you get what I mean. 
Thinking about that, I wonder how Run'll act while comforting Wave in this canon. Guess I'll just wait lol.
Overall it's the usual; I love Run and I love comparing characterization. I feel like this episode really made him seem more competent than just being the Jaeger who thought this was the desk job he saw a posting for, since to account for all the other Jaegers we have:
1) Esdeath, who is losing wars just to have the army all search for Tatsumi (and is just. Esdeath)
2) Wave, who's just being Wave and is preoccupied about the emotional health of his comrades (which is sweet but y'know. Lol)
3) Kurome, who's just following Wave around and comforting him but otherwise doesn't care for casualties
4) Bols, who is burning down evil orphanages and otherwise...uh. Moving on
5) Seryu is crying, deafening the poor
6) Dr. Stylish is dead, dead, dead

Like in comparison Run advocating for Esdeath to allocate more than one (1) unit of the army to deal with the Danger Beasts and/or to search for Dr. Stylish (the portion talking about him was also funny) seems really responsible lol. I don't even think that's just my bias for him speaking there.
Though I guess really he was always the only one who wanted to act in bigger ideals. 'Cause listing the Jaegers' motives in-canon again:
1) Esdeath just wants to become stronger and fight more 
2) Kurome pretty much just wants to live on and eventually kill her sister (probably her biggest objective)
3) Stylish is a sadistic scientist who just wants to do unethical science things for individualistic gain
4) Seryu hails justice but doesn't really understand the term; hence she mostly just follows orders and doesn't have a clear objective for her own life
5) Bols also just follows orders and probably just wants to sustain his family
6) Wave does want the best for the citizens but is a bit naive and ultimately ends up fighting and living more for Kurome than anyone else (manga-wise); in the anime he feels kinda disoriented and probably just matches up with his initial impression. He's in the Capital because it sounded really great in his hometown and he wants to support his family and whatnot.

Not saying that some of these objectives aren't justified or fine to have, but really, Run is the most idealistic one, right? He wants to rise up the ranks for a purpose (changing the empire's government from the inside), which relates to his goal for protecting children like his students. I dunno, it's just nice that even in the Abridged series, he acts like he still has those ideologies underneath somewhere.
Not to mention it's just funny that in this episode, the Jaegers technically did more for the citizens of the country than Night Raid did (with its gallows or whatever, I forgot the term), and of what they did Run was really the only one being serious (Seryu was crazy and didn't actually fight in the cameos and Bols was singing a meme song)

Another fun thing is that we have a collaborative project due next week and the group is not working very well. I dunno what my teacher was thinking when they assigned this to us :') online students and collaboration definitely do not go hand-in-hand

-Galaxian-

Maybe (I say as I create a theme abhorrent enough to summon my 4th copy of a certain possible Threat to Humanity while still not having a good grasp on said project)

-Galaxian-

My math teacher sent me a congratulations with no context whatsoever xD which is funny and kinda exciting but also I can make it funny by imagining that she's congratulating me for not getting homework done

-Galaxian-

I really really really need to rewatch Romance of the Three Kingdoms, fjsdiofjodsf

-Galaxian-

Today's focus:
If you want hero proofs, just beat up Jekyll! No questions are needed. Just wham-a-bam-bam. Treat him like a dragon. (:

Remembering that Erice and Tamamo-no-Mae are basically half-sisters is weirdly cursed and I don't know why.

I read it as Erik and for a moment I was trying to figure out how Opera Phantom and Tamano were half sisters XD

I managed to loop Voyager for 2 turns on a 3-turn node (2 enemies in the first wave and 3 in the third without plugsuit and with some card RNG) and am extremely happy about it for some reason

Can I just smh at AP exams again for a moment?
Specifically AP English Lit.
40 minutes per essay, including outlining and passage analysis. Like what the actual heck. I'm actually pretty good at analyzing stuff but there is no way I can get together a good introduction and conclusion and make three body paragraphs with 2 pieces of interconnecting evidence each even if I knew the source material and can type at 120 WPM consistently. Not to mention doing that while having to worry about the next 2 or 1 essays within the time limit (:
Like at this point of course I'm going to be spouting some cliche phrase about death and the meaning of life, you didn't give me any time to think about phrasing in the first place lol
You can probably guess which homework assignment I just did lol

-Galaxian-

For once in my online school career I finished my quarterly homework a few hours before the deadline
So now I'm trying to remember which dads in HYXHN don't scam their sons (and not doing my finals)
I think rn all I can think of is Dongfang Yuechu's dad. Otherwise maybe Luolan's is okay too (though I dunno if Luolan and the prince are half-siblings or not...or really if they're siblings or cousins lol). 

Watch me have missed an assignment or something and get a 0 lol

-Galaxian- 

Me: (*writing something I'm okay with for the first time in a very long time*)
This computer: My battery is only at 80%, plug me in now youweretooslowlolgoodbyetoallofyourwork

I can't even blame myself for not saving. I did. It just decided to pretend the document never existed.
((((:

Also I do feel like Saber Diarmuid joining me is part of F/GO's not-very-subtle, very long conspiracy to get me to grail Sabers.
"I have no favorite class" I lie through my teeth (jk I actually don't have a favorite class; I like some more than others but there is technically no favorite. I think.)
