I accidentally finished Part 1 of LB 6 while multitasking too, which was nice.
I'm not too sure how to give my opinion? If I give it now I feel like I'll be spoiling people but also if I wait I will never really talk about it again.
Solution is to go to my personal doc to describe headcanons of

Oberon

Just wanted to drop in and say that this gives mixed Rai and Wiley vibes which, considering how they're not usually on the same wavelength, is pretty horrifying

Also it immediately became associated with the idea of genderbent Rai (which is horrifying) and then Rai (either version) wearing high heels (which is existence-ending)

Imagine Rai with high heels and the "Not now sweetie, mommy's cyber bullying the mayor" shirt

Thanks for the imagery, now please enjoy the lack of background change, sweetie.

I did a double take reading the Homethreads section's description because it looks like such a me thing to write down but also I just haven't noticed it all this time??? Is something wrong with me

Today's my 5th forum anniversary.
Honestly, I know it's a bit weird bringing it up every year. This year especially, I feel like I became more cognizant of the fact that the forums are never really going to come together again. I suppose, naive as it may sound, there was always a little part of me that thought that everyone would be able to reunite one day. 
I do feel sad thinking about it in that sort of way, but even I'm not pessimistic enough to not be able to look at the bright side. Maybe there are friendships not to be, but there are ones that existed and flourish now. There were fights between forumers even during the forums' time and after that time, but they didn't define the forums as a whole. Most importantly, even if I currently no longer have those random encounters where I was summoned by someone I didn't really know, I have a community of friends who remember to check in once in a while and who try their very best to assume the best of others even when those others are not at their best. 
I don't know how cringe it might be of me to keep bringing up the anniversary every year, because it's really just a date, a certain period of time from when I first decided to make a post on the SAMB to now. But for me it was a small step forward that carried a lot of meaning. Even if there's a limit to how much we can get to know each other and interact, my experience with the forums and the people in them bears an immeasurable significance to me. 
So, thank you again. No matter how busy each of our lives may become, and no matter the difference in how we would express our sentiments, I believe that we all do--and will continue to do--our best to sustain this community.

On more of a personal note!
I am announcing some kind of inactivity notice. The time period is currently undetermined, but probably summer and fall of this year are a good bet. Maybe starting July, maybe a bit earlier.
There are technically a lot of things I have to do, and I don't know how internet/device access might look for a while. Thus, an inactivity notice is more just in case.
I'm also placing it here because I'd rather make it more prominent (A.K.A. make it its own post) when I get more details. Might be a bad decision, I dunno.
Aaand I dunno how to end it, but I hope you like the gradient in my signature? Lol. I wonder if some people could recognize it. (:

Maybe by the end of the Lostbelt Arc I'll finally be able to summarize what gameplay is for this game like I said I would
I'm like level 139 or smthn and I still suck
Also yes this is mostly overcomplication.

(Not necessarily spoilers but I still do not recommend clicking)

Listen I have watched Hei Xiaohu get blown up by landmines, the Gold Saints die 5 times, Run nearly get raped, Li get forced to swallow a snake and then destroy himself without being able to explain anything to his friends, but please just let Changgong live out a warrior's life as a Servant, he deserves that much.
He is technically my first favorite character too so :')
Then again tragic endings do seem to be his thing,,, bruh momentum

Just abusing the spoiler tags now

My favorite thing about the hypothetical relationship thingy between Rai and Oberon is that they switch between getting into each other's personal space
Rai's minding his own business and bam! Cloak boy with wings
Oberon's minding his own business and bam! Philosophical guy who should definitely mind his own business!
Joy joy joy.

Thank you, Specter!

The interview with Wangquan Wumu's VA was pretty much the exact definition of "The cat is out of the bag"
Guy is about to cry and I can relate because I am about to cry too. Every time I read his (Wumu's) name and especially when I see this arc for myself.
I am very emotionally unready for this. Time to distract myself with horrible character designing (:

On a similar topic, I gotta start acting like I have a death wish and keep Eric Bloodaxe the Bloodaxe King one of these times.
I maxed out all my Berserkers and Lancers so yeah, now Berserker embers are piling up again and I want some more chaos and mayhem in my Chaldea. (not really, I just think his story is wacky and don't want to pile up Berserker embers lol)

-Galaxian-

Love how even as a

Demon God Pillar

I love Mandricardo

I love a lot of Servants in my Chaldea btw xD expect me to respond to most of their names with "I love *name*"
Unless I don't love them, in which case I will respond with a different name in the same format.

For Carmilla I'm trying to focus on the "might have been scapegoated" aspect but I don't think I'd be able to do it for her original self (Assassin class I mean) :') her design is great but her personality,,,

Turns out I'm better at proving my own innocence when I can actually type things
Got accused of venting (everyone could vent) and faking a task (that I actually did) right after I saw someone leave behind a body, so I prove my innocence by calling a meeting and telling them to vote me out lol
The crewmates ended up trusting me and throwing out the guy who was running from a body, so we won.
I love minimalizing casualties

On the other hand, I still absolutely suck at being imposter. 
I only won one round the other day by getting thrown out later and helping with sabotages lol, today I kinda just panicked.
"Remember, if they're sucking more than usual, they're probably imposter" ~Manual on how to tell if I'm imposter or crewmate, probably

Mozart still simps for Marie (Queen Marie)
Like how did that charm hit?? (lol)

He's so real for that

I like how for character design my Asian characters look Caucasian, and my Caucasian characters look Asian.
(*just tried to make a character look Caucasian intentionally, but now they look very Japanese. Rai is Japanese and they look more Japanese. And by that I mean he looks Caucasian.*)

I'm archiving (taking pictures of and throwing away) old art and it's conflicting, like part of me hopes the transfer process will fail and everything will vanish and then the other part of me does not want that to happen.
