EMOTION 2.0

[Orion☆]

Nervous.

No, not because of the oral exam I have tomorrow, thanks goodness, but because I just requested a username change I've been wanting for a long time and I do wonder how it'll look once it's done. (For reference: My new username has a symbol in it because the plain version is still taken and will be freed up in exactly four months. This will give me time to adapt and decide if I like it enough to keep it or not. I trust I will, though.)

EDIT (6:10 PM): Shocked to my core.

Spoiler:

Just watched the trailer for LumenTale, the original RPG that the Xenoverse devs are making. Its subtitle is... Memories of Trey. Said Trey is the player character, and it seems it's the same Trey from Xenoverse who got Isekai'd to a world similar to the Pokémon world. This a Xenoverse sequel in all but name and trademarks.

That said, I'm more shocked because... I was planning out a Xenoverse fic where Trey was the protagonist instead of Kay/Alice, because it's much closer to game canon and therefore Silver does not turn evil and never marries Green (and Kay/Alice don't exist). This is far from the first time I call things that are gonna happen in canon, but it's the first time I do so in regards to a fan game. Wow.

I've been getting friend requests from my dead relatives.

I understand why this happens, but it's never going to make it feel less weird.

 

[Orion☆]

Amused.

Spoiler:

Alright, I gave myself some time to process the news on Trey and checked out his official art. There is still a chance this isn't the same Trey given that LumenTale!Trey is right-handed and Xeno!Trey is left-handed, but it doesn't make the resemblance any less uncanny.

If this is you, my darling boy, then... great Sinnoh, what in the world possessed you to do your hair up like Dendra!?

Happy and relieved.

I finally graduated from university. But the masochist that I am, I know I'll end up coming back for more in the future despite all the heartache

Yo congrats! That is no easy feat and it's a huge achievement! Happy to see another happy fellow member (:

Onward to a better future and hopefully everything goes well from here on out.

 

[Orion☆]

Contemplative.

Just thinking of how a Mirror Match challenge in a Pokémon game would work. I'm aware that it would be nigh impossible to imitate the teams of Gym Leaders and Elite Four members for each match because of trade evolutions (and the boxes being locked for Elite Four and Champion matches in older games), so I'm on the drawing board coming up with ideas. Maybe bringing at least one of the Pokémon that the Gym Leader/Elite Four member/Champion uses to the battle would suffice - or when that's not possible (e.g. in Xenoverse, most of the Gym Leaders' Mons cannot be caught before you face them), bringing a Pokémon of the same type.

Happy and relieved.

Congratulations! I say go for more, but be sure to celebrate this achievement with gusto first!

Relieved.

I aced my Linguistics final! Almost a perfect mark, yet it didn't come without difficulties. I had trouble understanding a question they asked me simply because it was so ridiculously specific.

I don't really care about the grade, I'm just so glad I got this goddamn exam off my back. Now let me celebrate the holidays in peace until I have to prepare for Didactics II in March.

Comfy

The fleece lining inside this new pair of ugg boots feels so good.

Sorry to hear that, Sami... Best wishes for you to feel better soon!

 

[forg]

Peaceful. The night brings with it this eerie calmness and serenity. It's quiet and I get to enjoy music without having to take my headphones off every five minutes.

All good my friend, ty 😊

Some things are just difficult at this time of year.


Today: vacuous.

 

[Orion☆]

Annoyed and honestly kind of scared.

Spoiler:

Argentina just won the World Cup. Yeah, okay, I'm kind of glad they did just because it's my country after all, but I was right when I said this neighborhood, this city, this country, would become a war zone.

I just hope they don't whip out the Christmas fireworks a week too early...

 

[VisionofMilotic]

Rundown

Finally finished all the Christmas shopping and think I can rest my poor head at last.

I'm just starting ;(

Have a well earned rest Sam, take it easy, and enjoy the season 😊


Today: Bopping

 

[Orion☆]

Disappointed.

Spoiler:

So... I got two books today - two short mystery novels in Spanish - by trading in some of my old books. I just read the first one... only for its conclusion to be quite underwhelming. While the mystery was solved, the final scene didn't feel like the resolution of a 50-year-old enigma. It felt, to put it in a polite way, like the perpetrator got away with a slap on the wrist. What is even worse is that one of the books I traded in was written by the same author who wrote this one. I went in expecting a great redemption... and got betrayed again.

Oh well, it's in my nature to give too many second chances. At least the cover is nicer-looking.

Let's just hope the other novel is a much better read, because it's in the same series as another book I've been eyeing (due to it being set in my hometown, ayyyy!)

 

[Sheep]

Tired. 3 days into our road trip and while it's been fun, it's also summer here and super hot. Looking forward to the next 2 days but will also be happy to be home on Thursday ❤️

 

[Corrin]

Not bad, perhaps tired.
