Reblogging For Future Reference. 

Video games have helped through a lot. I'm a bit of a dreamer so when the world constantly doesn't match up to my over optimistic expectations,  I can get quite negative and overthink things.

There was a time in my life where I saw a flight of stairs and the thought falling down and breaking my neck didn't faze me. I literally felt nothing, even when I tried. I was numb and the closest reason for not seeing what might happen was the chance I might get in someone's way. My opinion of myself was that apathetic. Video games help me over come this by allowing me to get out of my own head. To escape my own thoughts so I could learn to actually care about living not merely existing because killing myself seemed like it might be inconvenient for others.

I knew it was bad for me to think such a way,  but I couldn't stop the negative thoughts crawling into my head. But thanks to video games and the stories they conveyed. This allow me to stop thinking I'm not good enough, and it stopped me from believing don't deserve the life I have while others suffer.

Video games allow me to stop focusing on all the negatives and see the positives in life. The Persona series also taught me that no one can survive alone, and the reason I felt the way I did was because I bottled everything inside myself until I reached breaking point. I didn't talk to people, because I didn't want to annoyed them, but that was wrong of me to do.

In summary, video games like Fire Emblem, Persona and Dragon Age taught me that some form of friendship is necessary for survival. I might not have friends yet, but I'm actually looking now. So it's quite an improvement.

Sorry for writing so much. I hope this helps.

PLEASE REBLOG IF VIDEO GAMES HAVE A POSITIVE IMPACT ON YOU

This is for an English paper I need to write. 

And like if not

Huh... what if I’m the entire horizontal x axis. ... I guess I’m a workaholic straight liner.

For Katbugslovesalcor.

Merry Christmas!

I love this so much... great ideas.

Concept: a D&D-style fantasy setting where humanity’s weird thing is that we’re the only sapient species that reproduces organically.

Dwarves carve each other out of rock. In theory this can be managed alone, but in practice, few dwarves have mastered all of the necessary skills. Most commonly, it’s a collaborative effort by three to eight individuals. The new dwarf’s body is covered with runes that are in part a recounting of the crafters’ respective lineages, and in part an elaboration of the rights and duties of a member of dwarven society; each dwarf is thus a living legal argument establishing their own existence.

Elves aren’t made, but educated. An elf who wishes to produce offspring selects an ordinary animal and begins teaching it, starting with house-breaking, and progressing through years of increasingly sophisticated lessons. By gradual degrees the animal in question develops reasoning, speech, tool use, and finally the ability to assume a humanoid form at will. Most elves are derived from terrestrial mammals, but there’s at least one community that favours octopuses and squid as its root stock.

Goblins were created by alchemy as servants for an evil wizard, but immediately stole their own formula and rebelled. New goblins are brewed in big brass cauldrons full of exotic reagents; each village keeps a single cauldron in a central location, and emerging goblings are raised by the whole community, with no concept of parentage or lineage. Sometimes they like to add stuff to the goblin soup just to see what happens – there are a lot of weird goblins.

Halflings reproduce via tall tales. Making up fanciful stories about the adventures of fictitious cousins is halfling culture’s main amusement; if a given individual’s story is passed around and elaborated upon by enough people, a halfling answering to that individual’s description just shows up one day. They won’t necessarily possess any truly outlandish abilities that have been attributed to them – mostly you get the sort of person of whom the stories could be plausible exaggerations.

To address the obvious question, yes, this means that dwarves have no cultural notion of childhood, at least not one that humans would recognise as such. Elves and goblins do, though it’s kind of a weird childhood in the case of elves, while with halflings it’s a toss-up; mostly they instantiate as the equivalent of a human 12–14-year-old, and are promptly adopted by a loose affiliation of self-appointed aunts and uncles, though there are outliers in either direction.

Reblogging... I cannot be mean to Gundam Tanaka.

reblog to give gundam tanaka a hug

ignore if u want him to cry

Reblogging because now I’m nostalgic about Justice.

Why do more people love Cole than Justice? Is it because Cole is considered “cute”? Because I’m here to inform/remind you that Justice is adorable. Some examples!: 

He thinks our world is "a world so full of beauty that beauty goes overlooked.“

He ties his things to his belt so that next time Sigrun tries to steal them it will remind her that stealing is wrong, but since he’s told her ahead of time that he did this why would she try it again? He doesn’t have an answer. He didn’t think of that.   

He’s scared of becoming a demon because he just wants to be good

He believes that cats deserve freedom too. He is worried that Ser Pounce-a-Lot isn’t free

(He’s fine with it after Anders explains Pounce wants to be there and it’s a mutually beneficial thing.)

He wants a piece of lyrium (and books about both it and the Fade) to remind him of home because he’s homesick

He’s absolutely devastated at the thought that his presence has upset Aura (look at his face)

He’s a bit jealous of Aura and Kristoff’s love. He wants to find love too

Wow that’s so pretty!!! : o

Reblogging so Remembe this. Really helpful visual examples for weaponry.

The katanas wasn’t the main weapon of the samurai, it was a treasure witch was given from generation to generation. It was used for duels, ceremonies and the seppuku.

For the battlefield the samurai used weapons like the naginata, the kyoketsu shoge or the tetsubo. In times where the samurai couldn’t have ther weapons they used tools like the sai, witch was from rice farmers or jitte from the fishers.

Popularity, Totalitarian Regimes & Other Signs of Vampires. Interesting... book title

This is cool, and interesting there’s three big meeting of superheroes and the only ones who don’t descend in fighting each other over differences in opinion are Supergirl and the Flash. I don’t mind the conflict that other pairings have, but it’s refreshing to have superheros interact and it be fun. I’m really looking forward to see all of these though.
