Forlorn

Slightly paranoid, but also like I've finally realized something about whispers I've been hearing at home. Mostly though I'm just really amped, so I most likely won't go to sleep anytime soon. ^^;

I typed up an essay for another thread on here that has to do with gaming. lol That took a minute. Ate Strawberry pop tarts, looked at some old nostalgic photographs of big sis' when we were kids, including a picture of her that I took which surprised me as to how evenly balanced I held the camera for it. o.0 Usually my hands can't stay still to save my life. lol So, just ate some pop tarts, thought of big sis', and about to toast a good morning to a photo of her that seems like she's always watching over me from it in a way with a cold bottle of Green Apple Jolly Rancher's powder drink mix.

10's - Pantera (Dragon Ball Super AMV - Broly:BR Tribute)

Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition So, after being caught by Flynn who was a knight, Ragou came up with some weak story about how there was an impostor who was doing bad things in his name that looked like him. The Emperor is deceased, but apparently there's 2 eligible descendents for the Imperial Throne (there was another term used in the game, but I can't remember what it was), but in order for someone to be the next Emperor, they need something that I forgot the name of. It's a really weird name of some kind of object that I guess allows one to right to become Emperor or something. I'll find out as the story progresses. After the whole creepy nefarious speech by the magistrate about his "entertainment," Yuri hurled an Azure Blast (basically an air element blast from the bodhi blastia he owns) at the gate and knocked it down. Of course, that's when the weasel magistrate took off. In the magistrate's mansion there was a blastia that controlled the weather and made it rain all the time, and when a ship would disembark without permission the weather would get worse and said ship would sink. That was all thanks to the blastia in the magistrate's mansion which was pretty much a Frankenstein's monster of different blastia combined into one which isn't how they're supposed to be used at all and which got Rita Mordio pretty angry since she seems to care more about Blastia than about people, or at least understands them more than she understands people and she even said "blastia can't betray you" at one point in the game, so I understand where she's coming from. But the way they misused the blastia in the magistrate's mansion to make some chimera of blastia which allowed them to control the weather REALLY got her angry. She was hurling fireballs left and right to the point that the mansion started burning to the ground. o.o However, thanks to this emergency, Flynn and his crew were able to go inside the mansion due to the emergent situation and they all saw the Franken-blastia that the Magistrate and another mastermind behind the blastia core thefts had made. When the mansion was burning to the ground, someone dubbed the "dragon rider" who was going around on what was described as a dragon and destroying blastia, appeared in the magistrate's mansion and destroyed the weather controlling blastia monstrosity. Magistrate Ragou got on his ship with the true mastermind behind the blastia core thefts: the leader of the Blood Alliance guild, Barbos. He's a burly guy, but he was quick to escape the ship with Ragou in a life raft and leave Yuri and party to Zagi, that lunatic that Yuri encountered in Flynn's room near the beginning of the game in the Imperial Castle. The dude's seriously unhinged. He was on fire and he was laughing some crazy laugh. o.o After beating Zagi though, everyone noticed that the ship they were on was burning and sinking. Yuri saved a young man who would've gone down with the ship if he hadn't yelled for help from inside a closed room. The young man Yuri saved was a candidate for the Imperial throne and, fortunately, was a gesture that warranted a full pardon in the Imperial Knights' eyes, and so they gave Yuri and his friends a full pardon so they wouldn't have anyone looking to get the bounty that they had not too long ago ever since escaping the Imperial Castle's prison. Flynn was in a ship of his own btw and rescued Yuri and his friends, along with prince Iodor who was the young man that Yuri saved. Flynn wants to change things in the Empire from within, so he joined its ranks hoping to improve it, but Yuri doesn't think it will ever change. At least that's what I gather from everything I've observed so far in the storyline around him. Around the time they were all meeting Flynn to formally charge magistrate Ragou with illegal blastia and the alleged abduction of prince Iodor. That's when Ragou made up that impostor story and used his leverage on the Royal Council, who supports Princess Estelle as a royal candidate, to get away without any kind of punishment. That must've really burned Flynn though to have to let him go. After that, Raven (the guy that Yuri met in the Imperial City's prison) mentioned that there was a rough looking group headed towards a town which Yuri assumed was the blood alliance. It was the guild that Karol was fired from. They went to a city that was destroyed by an earthquake 10 years ago in-game, but the wrong guild was there, so it was basically a fruitless search. It did get Karol to start thinking about making his own guild with Yuri though which comes up later. I'm not really sure what Karol's connection is to a girl named Nan in the Hunting Blades guild (the one Karol was fired from), but either he's got a crush on her or it's something else, but it's definitely not a normal relationship between guild members. idk if they're related so they're mean to each other or if Karol's got a hopeless crush on her, but whatever it is, Karol took it pretty hard when he was removed from the Hunting Blades guild. There was a monster underneath the city ruins that was being held inside of a barrier so it wouldn't go anywhere. Once it got out and the inevitable boss fight took place, that thing was making Yuri and his friends bounce on the ground like Ragdolls after it slammed the ground or hit the ground. I think it liked to charge in some kind of bull-like rush, too. After winning, it looked at Estelle and I think it might've even gone up to her, and just went the other way. I'm still not sure why that's about either. It's definitely weird. While taking a break at Heliord which is a stronghold and a castle bridge looking wall that bridged 2 neighboring patches of uprooted land separated by rivers, Rita Mordio noticed the barrier blastia making a strange sound that it wasn't supposed to be making. The mage genius also reported disturbances in the aer at Caer Bocrum (the city of the earthquake). If I remember right, aer is the fuel used for blastia and is in the in-game atmosphere. Rita grew increasingly worried about the aer instability situation, but Yuri decided to let Flynn and his knights handle it. Well, that's when shortly after Rita noticed the strange sound the barrier blastia started going berserk and almost blew itself up before Rita regulated it with her genius blastia knowhow. Princess Estelle was glowing a yellowish color which was really weird when she ran up to Rita to try to help somehow. I still have no idea why that happens or why she can use healing artes without a bodhi blastia, but there's something different about her other than her being a candidate for Emperor. Rita did manage to readjust the barrier blastia so that the excessive amounts of aer weren't going to explode, but Rita did get hurt herself in the process. Estelle kept healing her while the mage genius slept and recuperated. Rita woke up to a passed out Estelle sitting next to the bed she was in, so she was apparently continually trying to heal her until she passed out. Rita seemed to change a bit after that point. She started to care more about the group of people she was traveling with than she did before. The dragon rider staged an attack on the room Rita, Estelle, and Yuri were in in Heliord, but Yuri took up his sword and fought the invader off. Rita was stunned by his kindness, which is probably why she started to care more about the party she was traveling with alongside Yuri and Estelle. Rita was recruited by the knights to investigate Keiv Moc Woods, but I can't remember why. Estelle decided to travel with the party a while longer and they all went to Dahngrest, city of the guilds. Yuri went on 1 with Don Whitehorse who was the leader of the guilds I think, and there's not much of an option but to just let him win quite frankly... lol... the barrier blastia failed as a result of sabotage by some red-eyes assailants known as Leviathan's Claw who also attacked Yuri in Nor Harbor for some reason, though I'm not really sure why they did that. Seems Leviathan's Claw is a nest of nihilists unless I'm guessing wrong, but that's definitely what they seem like so far. Ay ay ay, sooooo, to keep this as short as possible, Yuri accompanied the dragon rider whose name is Judith and she's a Krityan (but idk what a Krityan is), but Yuri's gone out of his way to make sure Rita doesn't know that Judith is the one destroying the blastia. She says she does it because she can. o.0 Barbos was apparently getting on Don Whitehorse's last nerve as it was, so it sounds like Barbos isn't exactly a good guy. The Imperial Knights and the guilds were going to join together against the menace in the shadows stealing and combining blastia cores, but a red-eyes slipped a forgery message as opposed to the original message that prince Iodor had sent to Don Whitehorse. Guilds almost butt heads with knights, but Flynn rode what looked like a Rhybgarou to where the two were going to wage war, and it called for an alliance. There's sightly more to it than that, but I'll just say Don Whitehorse released Yuri from taking Flynn's place in the guilds' prison in order to expose the puppermasters. I still haven't seen Yuri kill that creepy magistrate Ragou yet, but he does soon enough. I'll never get tired of that scene. ^^ Sorry, it's been a while since I'd posted my progress. rofl

Might be a while since I'm avoiding being upstairs as much as possible as long as the step-father is working from home. I wish he'd just go to work again. x.x

Happy birthday again, @Sakura~~ ^^

Oh, I should be able to just move the renders around in a .PNG in Photopea with a transparent background bigger then the size of both renders and then I could experiment with placing them in different places and see which one I like~ ^^ It's totally doable in Photopea though. Or at least I can think of a way to do it. lol Thanks for the example~~ < 3

Ohh, ok. For a minute I thought it was a Lord of the Rings reference. ^^;

I have no idea what you meant by that analogy, but it still made me laugh. lol How are you like a lil dwarf who is never getting out of the mines now? o.0

Thanks, dude~ ^^ ^^ Super 17 is a character that I both love and hate at the same time. I love him because it's 17, but hate him because of how they turned him into a monster. 17's original personality did surface at important moments, too, most notably by exposing his weakness to 18 and Goku so they could defeat him. 17 never did like to be controlled (the original 17), but then again I don't think anyone really does. Because of that personality trait of the original 17, he killed both of his creators as Super 17 in GT. There's parts I like about him, but parts I'm not overly fond of, too. In GT it seemed like Super 17 was always on a hair trigger to kind of sound crazy with that laugh and malice of his. It reminds me of myself. I like some parts of me, but I hate other parts of me. It seems a lot of people could potentially relate to him in that way. I love DBGT though and it's the only complete Dragon Ball series I have every episode of, so I can always refresh my memory of Super 17 when I feel the Dragon fever to watch DBGT. ^^ ^^ I flat-out hated Omega Shenron though. That guy was a sadist. >< I'm glad my recent project of the Super 17 avy/sig set is liked so well, that's for sure. ^^ Wait, you can combine 2 renders into one? o.0 I'm not sure if Photopea has that capability, but how do you do that? o.0

Sweet!!! Thank you~~ ^^

I've almost caught up to how far I got in my last New Game of Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition, which right now I'm at the part right after Yuri, Karol, Rita (her last name is Mordio and some impostor was doing things in her name that frankly would made me scared of her if it was me doing it. lol She's a frickin mage, dude, she could set someone on fire if she wanted to. I'm not about to make someone like that mad. o.o), and Repede saved Patty who is apparently one of the characters that joins Yuri's group later in the game I'm guessing and a boy whose parents couldn't afford the outrageous taxes the magistrate of Nor Harbor was taking from people. After saving Patty and the scared boy, Yuri and party ended up in the end part of the monster infested dungeon that Ragou (the magistrate of Nor Harbor) liked to put people's kids in if they couldn't pay taxes. He's had a Rhybgaro just outside of the town which he and his henchmen kept telling the people of Nor Harbor whoever caught it would never have to worry about taxes again. The catch of course was that the Rhybgaro was far too strong for any of the people in Nor Harbor to hope to capture. Magistrate Ragou's reasoning for all of this? He gets bored and needs something to "entertainment" himself which is apparently the horrific scenario I just described. I definitely didn't expect this game to have such dark themes in it, but it's all the more satisfying when Yuri catches up to Ragou (who uses his position on the Royal Council to weasel out of his expected punishment) and kills him. It's Yuri by himself when he does this though, so the rest of the party don't know he does it and everyone just chalks it up to Ragou missing all of the sudden. I've got to say though, it's very satisfying watching Yuri make Ragou pay for his inhumane and horrific "entertainment". There's an option to change the look of each character btw and I really want to show you the outfits I've been having them use, so I'll take screenshots before my next post. My favorite outfits to use for the protagonists: Yuri Lowell True Knight Title (with Glasses Attachment)

Thank you~~~ ^^ ^^ I like it, too. I decided to use different renders than the ones that I used in the similar sig but with them standing. I wanted to put 18 on the left though, so I -almost- flipped the renders horizontally, but then 18's hair would've been parted on the wrong side which would've bugged me too much, so I just opted not to flip the renders. I think it works though. ^^

Thanks ^^ Not much of a new take on the sig/avy set with 17 and 18, but I did change up the font. @Myouya is the dimension limit for Sig pics still the same? I don't see it stated in the Signature page of My Account anymore. If not, then I'll leave the sig as is, but if it is still in effect, then I'll change the size. Avy: Sig: @Sakura How's this one? ^^

I was comfortable with the 17 & 18 set I had, but I did mean to make a new one even if I wasn't going to use it. Here's my new one: Avy: Sig: The reason I chose Super 17 is because I'm having a lot of trouble right now mentally, hence the broken glass-esque background pic in the sig, and I feel like going on a destruction spree like Super 17 did in DBGT. They really transformed 17 into quite the monster in that series.

Yeah, I hope I'll be able to. ^^

I'm trying to get my hours straight again. lol Though if I stay up all night I'll probably end up taking a nap somewhere in the day, or naps. Seems like I keep getting woken up by various sounds and these accursed voices that I hear. Woke up to them yelling at me Friday night. I hate when they do that. Gets my blood pumping so I can't get tired for a while after waking up. x.x

Destruction

Eskimo

Sounds like a blast. ^^ Though I kind of want to try one of those shark cupcakes. lol

Deep sleep

Jumping

Rabid Animal

I hope so~~~ ^^ Dude, I'm so tired today I've been sleeping until 7pm. rofl I think I really am turning into part vampire. o.0
