Well true but I changed my flair and profile appearance too 😤
My sleep was kinda weird tonight, kept waking up at odd times and ended up staying in bed way too long! At least my eyes didn't hurt when I finally got up~

Who is the character in your profile picture? What anime is she from?

Also, how has your day been so far? ^-^

What is this question haha! I suspect this is a joke question but hey...
That character is me Eleanor Hume from the game Tales of Berseria, and consequently, the anime- oh wait, she's the only Berseria character that doesn't appear in "Tales of Zestiria the X" so we'll have to make do with the in-game cutscenes


My day, like the others before this one, is being... a bunch of ups and downs, still struggling to get stuff done but slowly getting there! I've finally heard from one of our professors who was super busy these couple months (for obvious reasons) and she's been really kind and comprehensive!
i have been slightly missing you already tho

What's your favorite piece of clothing you own or have owned?

 

[Eleanor]

What's your favorite piece of clothing you own or have owned?

Hard to tell actually... most of my favorite clothes are, well, my favorites, because of the memories I associate with them! In this category fall most of my Hard Rock Cafè shirts, because of where I bought them, but also some of my button-up shirts. As an example, I have a completely normal, unassuming black shirt, but I've used it for my eighteenth birthday and so it's special to me!

Now, if I had to make a choice based on looks alone, the choice would probably be even harder. I guess I can go with my two winter coats, though - one is a long, blue parka, while the other is a much shorter, more elegant coat. I like both of them and can't really choose one over the other, because they complement each other so well!

what kind of exercise are you gonna do this week 👀

 

[Eleanor]

what kind of exercise are you gonna do this week 👀

Typing. Like. Hell.

Yeah, sadly that's really what I'll do most of the time, since I have essays to complete, things to write, and hopefully questions to answer to! I'm actually thinking of dusting off my bike (or exercise bike if it still works) soon enough tho, and slowly get used to more exercise without stressing myself! After all, if doing exercise and keeping healthy is all I need to do, might as well choose the one activity I'm already experienced with, and that I know is one of the safest during these times :rowlyikes:

who's your second favorite Berseria character?

 

[Eleanor]

who's your second favorite Berseria character?

Definitely Velvet! I really liked her development throughout the story and her interactions with Eleanor but I kept her in her Village Outfit for the whole game 😇

which Tales game is it better to start with?

 

[Eleanor]

which Tales game is it better to start with?

Ooh! Sorry to disappoint, but Berseria is the only one I've played so far...
So, my opinion (for what it's worth) is that Berseria still seems like a good game to start out with! The story may not be exactly like other Tales games (coughVelvetcough), but you still gets all the skits, the character-focused dialogs, a pretty interesting battle system, and the latest game in the series so far :p

After all, I started out with Berseria and it makes me want to play more, that's gotta mean something!
Arise can't come soon enough...😞

if you could go back and re-write/re-work a post/arc you're written in trainers, which would it be and what would you change?

Not an easy question... after all, changing the past like this would also change the present situation and more! So...

Spoiler:

I'd probably leave most of the Route 24, Dark Morning, and Route 9 content nearly the same - They're all things that are important for Ari's development and kinda make sense for her to go through. Maybe I could've written them better, but given I can only change one post or arc, I would probably focus elsewhere!
Rock Tunnel I think worked pretty well, so I wouldn't change that either! I really like the writing on that arc too, and I think it works well for the situation.
This means that what I could change is... Ari catching random Pokémon and not using them - that is, the Adoption center part and the very first post about getting Pineco. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with the team and everything, and I was just doing sidequests and trying to catch Pokémon as if it was like... a challenge to see who completes the most sidequests and catches the most Pokémon!
That mentality, I believe, could still work for a curious person like Arianne, but the way some of those posts were written needs an improvement, I think! And, I guess that one post about the sports shop also fits in this category: not the best writing, not the best planning behind it, not really useful! I've said this before I think, but I came up with that Pineco incident on the spot: my plan was to get a Pidgey, but right as I was writing the post I decided to give Arianne a random Pokémon instead.

I'll let you know again once we get near the end of the roleplay though 😄
