Galaxian eat part of the moon

Btw it turns out the answer was vegetables
A lot of them. I ate a head of cabbage and like 2 bunches of spinach, and also water and finally went to bed. Woke up the next morning with a slightly more normal appetite

Anywho, here are two of the "some" things I wanted to write about! (I forgot one particular thought that I recall I wanted to write the most about so,,, lol)
I looked back at 2022's art and holy heck was it horrendous. I'm speaking completely objectively too. :') So I am for sure gonna dismantle my art thread, it's just gonna take a while because I need to archive my RPing thread first and there is hardly a dent I have made thus far. Not that I have dug that much, but still.
Two, after reading some readings that I did for homework, I read I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream and wow. 
What can I say? There is for sure a specific mindset you have to be in to write that sort of thing. 
Anyways, now I need to go back to homework land and hope that eventually I can understand people when they talk.

Me at the sun every morning

Technically, I think I find my whole existence pretty funny. For example, I feel wrong if I'm not taking a science course, because I love science and just everything related to how it works. I love looking at theories, I love the experimental process, I love the premise of knowledge-building. But on the other hand it is definitely my worst subject, and I don't think I've ever had science as my favorite subject ever. And as we speak I am sucking at it. I cannot follow the schedule well, I don't know how to best learn the content I need to learn for the course, etc. etc.
Similarly, I wanna be a doctor. Always have. But again, I suck at science, and I suck at communicating with people, and honestly I usually think I'm not strong enough or dedicated enough to follow through on this dream. Simultaneously, however, the thought of not being able to become a doctor literally pains me to the point of tears. I can't think of a job I would want to do more, a cause I'd want to dedicate myself to more, even though I'm well aware how much commitment it will take. 
And y'know, this semester I'm not taking math, and it feels wrong for some reason. Sometimes I even feel like doing some equations and problems on my own for the heck of it. But similar to science, it's never my favorite subject either, and I usually find it tedious. Not to mention, numbers are the bane of my memory, as are theorems and formulas and geometry.  
Same thing goes for my hobbies. I technically love writing. I have a lot of ideas--a lot of things that I want to say and express in specific ways, especially after I read works that bring out a lot of thought and reflection. But I've found that I don't really enjoy having others read my writing, and a lot of the time I don't want to read my own stuff either. And there is so much struggle for me in this compartment, even when I'm extremely excited about jotting something down. I feel like I have a certain talent/skill in interpreting emotions and carrying that understanding over to things like syntax and figurative language, but at the same time, I sometimes feel as if it's more of a "my interpretation" sort of thing rather than a more universal experience, so even when I think I know the instruments I am trying to use, I struggle to believe in my way of using them.
On the flip side, I love drawing as well, but I know for a fact how bad I am at it, even though I try a lot. And as I've mentioned before, it's weird, because objectively speaking I do think I am better at writing than drawing, but I do drawing more often. So it's a perpetual cycle of "Is it really sufficient if you are just doing this for your own enjoyment? Is it okay to continue on this way?" I think in an ironic sense it parallels just about everything else I've mentioned so far.
Maybe all of this is related to that element of natural contradiction.

All I know about "phagocytosis" is that it makes me hungry. 
Which is fitting.

That endosymbiont theory thing is just reminding of that I.Q. where it's like
Person 1: I'm gonna fail this Biology test! Quick, teach me stuff!
Person 2: Biology is the study of l--
Person 3, cutting them off: Mitochondria. Is. The. Powerhouse. Of. The. Cell.
Person 4: (*confused screaming*)
Person 5: We're doomed.

Wow, I wish my humor worked, that way I could find a way to insert a Person 6 there about mitochrondria once being their own lil microbe existences that were swallowed up by cells and eventually had to adapt to become the existences they are today, forced to forever toil to provide energy for their captors and unable to escape because they are now unable to live by themselves
Intracellular Stockholm Syndrome confirmed?

F/SR is strangely funny, like yes it looks like the entire country of Japan might be set on fire because of the creepy vibes, but also it's funny. I cannot take it seriously even though every single Servant in this War could probably cook me.
My impressions of the pairs so far:
Saber and Iori: Saber is haughty and Iori probably has no idea what is going on. I find it so funny how Saber starts with their[?] NP pretty much right off the bat and then Iori nopes that. Iori reminds me of Shirou, I suppose, while Saber just feels more casual than Artoria. I like their relationship already for some reason. I feel like Saber might be sassy.
Archer and Chenggong: I cannot take Archer seriously due to my guess of his identity, plus his expression is perpetually sinister. Lol. And Chenggong sus. (The latest trailer has him saying, "His Majesty's kingdom will not fall..." in a very ominous tone which kinda just makes him more sus. We will see.) I do like that they both at least seem like the straightforward type though. we will ignore how Archer refers to entrusting a "dying wish" on the website for the game :') 
And as a quick add-on, I find the water-fire dynamic between Archer and Saber interesting. So we'll see how that goes. :D Since I've noticed everyone else isn't giving off element themes. I can't really tell if this means they'll have a more friendly dynamic or if they'll be pitted against each other, but we shall see!
Lancer and Chiemon: Edgyyyyy. Seriously, I'm kinda intrigued by this pair, because Lancer doesn't feel like Jeanne Alter or Jeanne, yet in the OP it seems to be Jeanne right before her execution, so...? I also wonder if Chiemon's more than he appears. I really do feel like he could be scheming more--after all, I can't see him being a voluntary participant if he hasn't thought ahead--but idk. Edgy edge edge.
Also, Lancer feels dead inside. Maybe that'll prevent external death. since the most passionate Lancers seem to die faster
Rider and Shousetsu: Definitely the weirdly morally ambiguous pair. And that laugh at the end of the trailer along with the horse...it might be some kind of huge red herring though, intended to set us off. In Fate style, of course. I love Shousetsu's design btw. Hopefully this pair doesn't die first...they give off red flags for sure.
Caster and Tsuchimikado: Edgy but definitely evil. Unlike the "Fallen Christians" pair (Lancer and Chiemon). Ngl though, Caster in the in-game style looks handsome lol. Not excusing him from having eyeball hands as familiars.
Anyways, Caster pairs will always be sus. I don't think I've seen one of these spinoffs with a Good Caster. They're always Evil or Neutral. 
And for Tsuchimikado...Abe-no-Seimei's descendant? Are we sure about that? Or maybe he got those wife genes from the past (as in Seimei's wife, who pretty much got him killed and got with Douman lol). 
Assassin and Dorothea: I don't think I've seen too much dialogue on Assassin, which is kinda sad because I'm pretty interested in him. For one, he's not a Hassan, which is cool and relates to the premise of this totally-not-a-Holy-Grail-War! Plus the artist said they like him the most, which has gotta mean something. 
On the Master front--a mage from the Clock Tower, huh. At least now we have more historical evidence of how the mages of the past might have operated. My moral expectations are not high to be sure.
Berserker and Dayu: MUSASHIIII!
Interesting pairing. Unfortunately I am more interested in the Rogue Berserker because of how stark his design is and the implied dynamic he has with Dayu (and I mean, even on the website he's shown behind her lol), but I'm interested in Musashi too for sure. Her outfit is so cool! And I really do wonder why Dayu is connected with this ritual at all.

I know for sure that part of my interest in the game is because of its genre and how I've followed up with its marketing, but I also think it's definitely my F/DA bias getting in lol.
F/DA is more casual tbh, these spinoffs seem dreadful to be in.
I want friendships! Give me friendships! :D F/SR probably: did you say mass murder

-Galaxian-

Btw when I say "F/SR Caster looks handsome in-game" I mean specifically this one shot. The shot for the thumbnail.


Evil dude actively failing face mask procedures.

Sabers in official spinoffs: (*cool looking, dignified, and/or with impressive backstories*)
My Saber:  ס(◑ ○◑)ס ☕

Just realized how ironic it is that the images on this page fit a Halloween theme (spooky Caster, coffee emoticon, and a going to Hell meme)
Unintentional.
Y'know what's gonna be worse than ghosts though? My test grade. I really do need to go now. Goodbye. :')
And as always, feel free to leave feedback on the theme wherever, since as we all know I am not going to be able to incorporate it anyways.

Putting this here before I watch any playthroughs: My favorites are bound to 1) die 2) get possessed/corrupted (i.e., Run getting reanimated, the Gold Saints turned to Specters, Li getting possessed, etc.). Not in that order.
So...there's gonna be some corrupted Servant shenanigans like HF or like in Shimousa, calling it rn. Paiiiinnnnn.

Would Scorpio Milo be an Archer
He stabs in you a few bloody holes
his NP, Antares, never works

The enemy is charging up their Noble Phantasm while Saber is just trying to fish out some M&Ms
They don't mind eating nuts, but they like chocolate. 
Morality does not determine one's culinary preferences. Remember that for my characters. (Absolutely do not remember that.)

Essentially, they prove how it'd actually be weird to be completely unstressed about most things. See?
(*points at Saber*) Weirdo.

Breaking news: Local dude is being driven insane by a game they can't even play
(Spoilering just in case, it's mostly because I know for a fact I sound deranged atm. Again, possible spoilers about F/SR, but mostly just a wall to block off some text lol.

I am drawing F/SR Archer. And idk if I've ever mentioned this before but I love drawing out others' character designs. It really makes me think about what their perspective might be, kinda like literary analysis while reading, or writing in someone else's character's POV (writing fanfics or just others' characters in general). But outside of me struggling at drawing faces (*cough* RUN I love you and cannot emphasize just how much I appreciate your character but pleasseeeee), I really do savor the process.
...and I do enjoy it here, even though it's ultimately for a joke and there's a lot more work (distractions) ahead. Problem is...he is so logically bullyable xD I have been laughing to myself like a maniac for pretty much the entire day. For different reasons. Why is he like this.
And actually, why are they like this? I made a joke that maybe I should have Rensa wear heavy Ancient Chinese robes anywhere and everywhere, even in the modern day. But only recently have I been realizing how Fate literally does this, at least with the clothing component. I looked at Jiang Ziya's concept art and I kid you not, he is literally wearing 5+ layers. I swear he is skinnier than Oberon under there, because by this point I think even his "underclothes" have even more layers under there that the artist just didn't bother to show.
Archer's outfit is not the most impractical, on the other hand, but it just. I. The dude is basically wearing a towel draped around the front and back, cut off a sleeve on one end or something, and is wearing two more layers. And then his accessories are arranged so that they jut out the right places from the right layers. I just. Please help me xDDD.  
I cannot emphasize just how much I love his historical counterpart (he's definitively in my Top 5 Most Favorite Chinese Historical Characters, along with Zhuge Liang, Wu Zetian, Gao Changgong [obviously], and Lu Su), but please why is he like this. I can't. xD I am trying to translate my wheezing into text form.

Does this mean I should tell Rider he's no longer Chinese if he doesn't wear 3 winter coats? I say while wearing t-shirts and shorts while everyone else here has started wearing jackets lol
Anyways. BAHAHA. Meeehhh. (*starts choking*)
