Hey Google, how can I design new characters for the SS AU if I bawl over what I did to them at the start every single time

Love how I don't really know what Naira or Lucina looks like, or the full extent of their personalities really, but I really feel like they give so much good toward the world and toward others and toward each other and idk, I'm so sad.

Applications are so funny because them responses be like 350 words each and I be procrastinating on them forever even though every day I can write 800 words on a "brief note" without even trying.
Btw I am the funny one.

Btw psychology is just making it so that I can judge harder. The application bit hard as heck tho. 
Parenting is hard. Teaching is hard. Also I'm gonna bother like half of my past teachers this coming holiday just because I appreciate them even more now. Some of them did not receive a good thank you note from my past self and I will make it up. Please don't forget, Galaxian. Please.

SSA Kardia saying "MY FINGERTIPS ARE FREEZING OFF!" as soon as I logged in sent me, idk.
Btw he's my avatar rn because Rhadamanthys is on rate-up and I thought it'd be funny. It is.

Becoming confused 'cause I swear I made the above post right after the one before it, so how did 18 minutes pass between them. Huh

Every anime person I draw looks like a guy but every realistic person I draw looks like a girl, hereby proving that only women exist /j

I really need to figure out the forum's aspect ratio or whatever for the background images, it probably isn't hard to find but hmmm

I wanted to share this with you guys :3

Image quality got degraded a lot, but say hi to Tsuchinshan-ATLAS! If you happen to be near its path, then do go out after sunset and say hi to it as well. We'll have looked at the same thing.
In my case, there was a supermoon behind me as well as Venus next to it, which is the bright white spot in the lower left of the comet. 
There's something about comets and just...space things in general that's so cool. I mean, my nickname is Galaxian, so that's probably obvious as opinions go. But I think about how while comets themselves aren't really uncommon per se, this one specifically will probably come back around in 80,000 years if it doesn't completely break apart before then. Assuming an average human lifespan of 80 years or so, that'd be 1,000 lifetimes laid out head to tail of each other. 
Plus, the last time there was a comet this bright was 18 years ago. I don't think most (if any) of you guys were in the mindset to be seeing and remembering a comet 18 years ago, haha.
Check out this link to see better quality photos from all across the world! - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C/2023_A3_(Tsuchinshan–ATLAS)

Edit: those are parts of the same link and idk why links like these always break apart, sorry. Copy and paste both to get the actual link! Or just Google "Comet A3" and click on the Wikipedia link. It'll yield the same result.

And a sappy thing to end with, but in this vast world that's only a pale blue dot when viewed from afar, I'm glad we all somehow live in the same time and space. Thank you.

Oh and btw child development/education is so so so interesting. I am saying that I am not very compatible with little kids, but I hecking love learning about them. 
Unfortunately, there's also a little bit of a sadness to this topic as well (well to psychology in general and probably any topic area but I can't just make everything an example of what was supposed to be an outlier), mostly in seeing the concepts present in kids you encounter in reality who you can't interact with. I mean, even kids that teachers interact with won't stay with them for very long, so it's really up to the parent and guardian figures to do a consistent good job. And that's a very hard job even for those who try their best.
That's why it's so important for the actual adults who are present with the child throughout different phases of their life to learn and do their best while still taking care of themselves, I think.

To sound a little less vague, I am just talking about how sometimes you can tell what a kid might grow up to be like when they're older, based off of little interactions you see they have with their family. But outside of just being nice to that kid, you can't really do anything about it in the long term. So it'll be up to their family and, unfortunately, future them to get away from the likely developmental path.
In a perfect world, there would be no kids who feel the need to burn down the village to feel its warmth, even if the village weren't perfect.

I used up half of the rolls I stocked up in Arknights to try to get Stainless because I thought his gameplay preview was cool, but unfortunately it didn't work and I got Magallan, one of the barely E1ed units I mentioned. As you can tell, I still think she's cool and will try my best to get her levelled up anyways. Rest of the rolls are going towards Logos though, if he's willing to come.
I also got the Top Operator tag for the second time, and used it to get Mostima. Why? 'Cause I like her for some reason idk. She's not levelled up enough for me to try her out (she's not even E1 lol) but we're getting there. I dunno anything about her gameplay, so that's something to be excited about.
As implied, I've been working on trying to E1 some units because it gives a better preview of their abilities, and right now I think I got most of the Guards. The classes I'm still working on are the Snipers, Casters, Medics, Supporters, and Specialists. Specifically for the Specialists, I'm trying to look more into the different subclasses, so rn I'm thinking about getting Mr. Nothing and Kirara (or another Ambusher) to E1 and seeing how they might diversify the way I play the game.
Skill specialization is still out of the picture for now, we'll see about that once I can get around to it.
Aaand I forgot about something else I was gonna mention, related to Arknights. Maybe I'll remember later,,, it was one of those things that I remembered in the middle, came back to add, and then forgot again. 

Remembered it! It was about Windflit. I was thinking that since I like Ebenholz and Virtuosa so much, I've been thinking about E1ing him anyways, and trying to see how much impact he makes when paired with them. And yes, this is Galaxian just trying desperately to use a character they like lol.

Anyways, I maxed God Cloth Milo and most of the Cosmos that he has in SSA.
I said previously that skill levels in this hecking game are like NP levels, but apparently there are actually NP level things you can do with higher rarities, where you have to pull 2 more copies of them to ascend them after you've maxed them (think Grailing but you also need duplicates...so basically post level 100 analogy with F/GO but without coins as a currency). So essentially you need more copies for increased skill levels and increased levels. No thank you lol.
The reason I'm investing more into him is 'cause I like him a lot, and because I dig his gameplay a lot. I've gotten one of his skills to level 4, and now he hits 6 times per turn with Hades Shun's help and definitely works a lot better now with a more general team. He's critting most of the time too, so that's pretty big damage. He definitely has some hard counters in the game, but that's pretty much just how SSA is, and that's fine imo. 
A fun thing I've been trying is him with Aphrodite. Previously he would block off Aphrodite due to using up all the excess energy, but now he sometimes has excess energy left (he has a limit on how many times he can act based off remaining energy that scales with skill level), so Aphrodite can then use that to nuke a second time. Pretty cool.
Anyhow, God Cloth Milo and Kanon are now dominating the Athena's Trials (until I get bored again), which is pretty great for me since I love imagining them as friends. 

I was just watching an Arknights video with just female operators, and then from SSA I heard (in Odysseus' very manly voice) "JISHI NO KOKORO" while one of the operators' skills activated in the video, which sent me, again.

I'm not sure if I'm hearing the pronunciation right. My auditory abilities suck

Here we go. BB-EX-4.

I think the other image site is bugged rn. Anyways this is right at the end (as you can see from the enemy bar), so you can't see any of Magallan's devices or Frost's traps in action. Pretty obvious what I did tho. The roadblocks aren't as well-placed as the last run, but I will just take the 3-star clear lol.
Just noticed the chains are in an M shape lol. M for Magallan I suppose? She really did help a lot since she can do actual binding with her devices. 
Here's the team for reference:

The Defenders (Shu and Bassline) and the Quick-Redeploy Specialists (Red and Gravel) are from previous runs that did not work. I thought, why not include them anyways since the stage isn't a trust-farmable one to begin with.
Love there being two (2) dudes lmiaoo I just realised how many girls there are on this team (Arknights in general moment)

-Galaxian-

Btw Time Odyssey gave a preview of Chapter 3 and lo and behold you have Milo and Hyoga just chilling (idk why Milo's there but I won't complain). They're taking a walk or something, it's pretty cute.
But Camus, bro, please set higher standards. Mu took on an apprentice too and he does fine; he's trying to teach what he can. Why are you like this.
