We've identified the birds in our backyard thing as American Sparrows. They're really cute and I love to hear them singing in the morning!
There's also a lark and some pigeons.

SpecterTheGreat · March 5, 2021 15:07:59

The lark has a nice name in Spanish. It's "Alondra" and it's also a girl name.
But I think that larks don't deserve to be called by such a nice name because they're kind of plain. They're not ugly birds but unless you're looking at them from up close they're not as pretty as others.

SpecterTheGreat · March 5, 2021 15:34:46

I've grown too used to whisper-singing.
Now my voice isn't strong enough to hold notes if I'm singing a bit louder. I can't even go full-volume xD it doesn't even sound like a scream,,, it's more like a dying squeak with vague melody.

ALL BIRDS DESERVE NICE NAMES AND YOU CAN FIGHT ME IF YOU DISAGREE, SPECTER

Maybe using the word "deserve" was a poor choice in my post. I just meant as a comparison. Of course birds are beautiful.

GalaxianExplosion · March 5, 2021 17:20:42

You think? They shouldn't be compared, so you can still fight me

SpecterTheGreat · March 5, 2021 17:26:11

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Not in the mood to fight rn, lol. It's fine. It's a personal opinion xD I'm not saying you're wrong.

GalaxianExplosion · March 5, 2021 17:38:51

It's not a matter of that it's a matter of

SpecterTheGreat · March 5, 2021 17:44:56

Bruh xD

SpecterTheGreat · March 5, 2021 17:45:57

A few hours ago I read the news again and found an article that really upset me
I forgot what it was about. Thankfully?
It just comes down to: I hate politics.

SpecterTheGreat · March 5, 2021 17:49:18

Also got updated on the voting system here.
Apparently if I vandalize my vote it won't get counted ;) but if I leave it blank it will.
Hehe guess what I'm planning to do for my future votes now

SpecterTheGreat · March 5, 2021 17:53:10

I know I can't do much to change major stuff here and I am never going to choose a political career xD. Ever.
They say that I can contribute to society by being a good citizen. I'll see if I can do that when I get a job and that kinda stuff.

SpecterTheGreat · March 5, 2021 17:55:11

*says I'll be a good citizen*
*routinely forgets French homework until the day before class*

At least I do the hw. I know several of my classmates just don't xD and it's kinda funny in class.

SpecterTheGreat · March 5, 2021 18:12:32

French is very fun and kinda easy for me
except when it comes to tenses.
It has all of Spanish's tenses, and yes yes I know how to use Spanish tenses correctly but I've never studied them and I wouldn't know the exact definition of them.
Then comes French with the tenses I have to learn xD. I guess they're not hard and they prolly won't be hard once I have more practice, but for the time being,,, aaaaaaaa,,, so much trouble xD
Look, even the imperfect tense is giving me trouble, and that was one we saw at the beginning of intermediate level.

ASFJDHSFKLDSJFK I SUMMONED KINGPROTEA WITH O N E TICKET
I'M GOING TO HAVE A STROKE
THIS SHOULDN'T BE POSSIBLE WITH MY LUCK

KFLJDSLFDS TIME TO LEVEL UP A CUTE GAL

SpecterTheGreat · March 5, 2021 21:55:40

Technically it's my fifth ticket spent on her banner but it was the only ticket I spent today.

Adkjfdhkj I just can't believe it,,, a 5* Servant????
When I saw the golden card I was like "Oh cool, maybe it's Tristan!" (I wouldn't have been disappointed if he came, since he was on rate up anyways) but then the Alter Ego symbol showed up and I just lost it xD
I'm too happy xD I'm going to give Kingprotea lots of love.

Hmm, she deserves a nickname. What can I call her? Protea? Iirc that's a flower lol I'm not sure, think I read it somewhere on her wikia page.

SpecterTheGreat · March 5, 2021 22:01:26

Anyways, celebration time!!! Will celebrate with farming for her materials xD somehow. I'll figure out a way to do it.

SpecterTheGreat · March 6, 2021 08:06:54

Didn't get a single Saber piece
Well, I guess I deserved it xD it wasn't the scheduled Saber dailies after all.
I got a couple gems tho! Idk how many because I haven't checked but I think there's enough to improve at least one of my Archers' skills.

Lol I completed the free quest that bothered me in Fuyuki. Had to fight a shadow Heracles and my Servants of course weren't prepared for that.
So I guess I kinda cheated and borrowed a Foreigner
But I kinda felt like a strategist even if I'm not one or at least a weak one xD. I brought my Servants that could support the Foreigner's attacks while keeping themselves safe. It worked out

SpecterTheGreat · March 6, 2021 08:11:27

That wasn't the strategy I used for the Heracles-Medea Lily battle in Okeanos, tho.
I wasn't expecting the battle to happen so soon (was expecting regular pirate mobs tbh) and so I took the wrong team xD. Okay well it wasn't wrong wrong like completely wrong, but it wasn't the best xD.
It worked out too, yeah! I give my thanks to your Bradamante @GalaxE because she helped me win the fight :D
On the other hand, the only casualty was Alexander .
But Heracles was more or less easy to eliminate (thanks to the support!). Managed to do it right before Medea cast her NP . But then the battle dragged on because she kept casting her gauge-charging skill and healing and it took a bit to defeat her fully with no class advantage and stuff. She removed Robin's poison skill at least three times kjghkdfj.

SpecterTheGreat · March 6, 2021 08:24:01

Oh also
That moment when you miss a 90% crit. chance but hit a 10% crit. instead,,,
XD happened like four times.

Jason's angry face is hilarious I had fun telling him to "shut up".
And Hektor keeps calling himself an "old man". Why xD that's funny now.

SpecterTheGreat · March 6, 2021 08:33:37

Oh also the official Chaldea Boys Collection event info is out!
With the true sumonning schedule, I can finally plan for my quartz/ticket spending :D
I'm going to roll for Enkidu, Zhuge Liang, and Ozymandias. Maybe I'll get other Servants too! I'm kinda counting on getting Lan Ling at least once :D

SpecterTheGreat · March 6, 2021 08:40:54

I'm not sure if I really want Moriarty but since he's on rate up all days of the campaign, maybe I'll get him xD.
If I get him more than once I might burn the copies? I'm not sure I want him as my Archer haha but he's also a 5*. I'll think about it.

SpecterTheGreat · March 6, 2021 08:57:12

JP Server gets an interesting event this year, hmm?
I'm a little bit envious that they already have Voyager xD he's such a cute kid and I want him, but he won't be in English servers for a while.

Should've expected that from Amakusa Shirou xD He loves the Grails too much xD.

And his costume's so cool too

SpecterTheGreat · March 6, 2021 11:36:57

This looks really tasty
Forbidden marshmallow????'

SpecterTheGreat · March 6, 2021 11:43:02

Btw I'mma be away from here for today, talk to y'all later ;D

SpecterTheGreat · March 6, 2021 20:58:57

lemon pie

SpecterTheGreat · March 6, 2021 21:17:38

Might actually get to play Among Us with my friends 👀👀👀
Lol now we just need permission to download the game, but I'm excited for this possibility!
I've proven that we can play games sometimes as long as someone coordinates the meetings. I'm like the only one who actually takes the initiative most of the time :') but let's see.

SpecterTheGreat · March 6, 2021 21:21:03

Also,,, wow, some of my friends missed me,,, I feel loved <3.
Like really xD I don't talk a lot with my more adult friends because they're like a group themselves, but I honestly admire them a lot.
Idk none of the friends in my direct "friend group" have ever told me that,,, so I just kinda don't think they miss me much xD. I do miss them, but sometimes I feel like all my feelings and stuff aren't reciprocated as much as it they should. But I don't mind at all!

Honestly though I
I just,,, I don't have words to express how wonderful it felt to have someone smile at me and say "I/we've missed you so much!"

SpecterTheGreat · March 6, 2021 21:25:02

I've long wished to interact more with my adult friends.
But somehow, I've always felt that I never fit in anywhere .
Like, yes, they're VERY willing to talk with me and do stuff and I love them a lot for it, but I don't know if they'd like it if I were to interact more with them. Maybe it'd be like interrupting into their friendship.

But on the other hand, just being with my "friend group" has been hard enough because all except for one are part of the same family and they had a (strange) bond I couldn't ever hope to do personally.
There were also some other things that stemmed from that and I cycle between hating them for it and just accepting it as part of what I deserve.
I think now they're better. I wish for a stronger bond with them. That's something I'd absolutely love.
But I'm awkward with that,,,
