Power And Hair Are Intimately Linked You Know

Things that need to be done for Divine Strength: improve characters, settle on worldbuilding details, structure plot, actual work   Things I’m focusing on for Divine Strength: the Queen of Light’s hair color   Yeah. The idea is that some Queens, when their body is charged with magic during the fusion of the human soul and the deity soul, have their hair color altered to a specific color. In the case of the Queen of Light, that color changes over the course of her life, acting as a gauge for ho

The Heart of the Sea

June…doesn’t really mean anything special.   Except now it does, because it means you can get Manaphy over Mystery Gift! This is far less convoluted than that egg nonsense from when it was first made available!   Also, when you get your Manaphy, be sure to leave it at the day care with Ditto—that’s the only way you can get the not-exactly-Legendary Pokémon Phione!   721 HERE WE COME!

Medal Working

Unchained X has been out for a while now, but I finally managed to activate Guilt for the first time!     Well, the English version calls it Special Attack Bonus or something, but that's long and generic. So, Guilt. See that little purple crystal thing? That's active Guilt!   Man, that took a while. Lots of Munny, lots of Medals--EXP, evolution, Goofys...Guilt is difficult. I have another Goofy I might evolve and merge onto this to try for a new Guilt percentage, but since this Medal is Lo

Steins;Gate 0 Localization!

Source   Still no news on when the anime starts, but we might not need to dodge spoilers that much longer!   Steins;Gate 0 will be released in America and Europe this year, on both PS4 and Vita! I'm very glad I didn't sell my Vita now.   Apparently, the company selling the localization is advertising it at an event this weekend, and whoever comes to their booth can get a free poster if they say "El Psy Kongroo". I like that.

Nonsense

It bothers me when people insist that I am smart.   I’m a college dropout working part-time in a grocery store deli. What part of that says smart to you?   I need a quick way to shut people up the next time this happens. Unfortunately, I can’t think of one. Because I’m not smart!

More Magic

Since one of the reasons I’m writing Divine Strength (or anything really) is to play around in a fantasy world, I feel like I should try to do more with that fantasy element than I already am. For example, the only magical beings who currently exist in the story are the Queens and the Ruinous. Only having two categories both with very finite rosters seems weird.   So I thought maybe I’d expand upon the backstory I had for the Ruinous: that they were born from the forces of magic in response to

Heart of the Cards

Well...Heart of the Medals. Kingdom Heart of the Medals?   SO. Kingdom Hearts Unchained X added another 25 missions, plus a week of Daily Jewel Missions, so between that I was able to pull together just enough to do the current Shop event with 4/5 hours to spare. I really wanted the KHII Kairi Medal, though I figured it was a bit of a long shot--still, some of those other Medals look cool too, so eh, let's take the long shot.   Let's see, Dumbo, Wakka, Paine, huh, this isn't really wait.

Something Else of Fire and Ice

The next chapter of Beyond Ruin is finished!   As I said previously, I wanted this one to focus on the Queen of Fire. In the end, the Queen of Ice also showed up. I think there are going to be more multi-Queen pieces than I originally anticipated, but I’m also going to try to change up the pairs they appear in (and maybe try showing more than two at once?), and this means there will definitely be more than just one chapter per Queen. Actually, I’m considering trying to come up with an arc if

Too Hot to Handle

I’ve decided to commit to writing the next chapter of Beyond Ruin about the Queen of Fire. But, I’m having trouble thinking of a good way to showcase her.   While she’ll probably develop some aggressive and impatient attributes like most fire-wielders, I think I want her to mainly be a flame that burns in place—she just enjoys being where she belongs, ruling over the volcanic realm of Pyrada in peace. I’ve said before that she stays out of affairs that don’t concern her, but she can hold one h

Actual Sun and Moon News!

So it looks like those rumors about the region being based on Hawaii are true! Alola looks kind of small, though.   The starters all look great, but Rowlet is clearly the best choice. It’s an adorabird! You must choose the adorabird!   Sun lion and moon bat both look pretty interesting. Not entirely sure at this point since we don’t have types and such, but I think I’m leaning Sun at the moment.

Fanfic Concept

An OC who is forced to go through bad fanfic versions of numerous series, and painfully aware of just how badly their life is written.   ***   "You are one of the chosen few who can wield the Keyblade."   "Okay..."   "And yours is a very special one with powers that no other Keyblade possesses."   "Wait why?"   "Remember, you are the one who will open the door to the true Kingdom Hearts."   "...Is that a good thing?"   ***   "OC, we need your help to defeat Platinum Frieza and gather the Mega Dr

Complaining

The fight going on in Bleach right now is exhausting nonsense. This villain’s power is literally “Come back stronger each time you die”, so no matter how thoroughly they destroy him, he stands back up and it just keeps dragging on.   It’s like trying to argue with a Genwunner. No matter how definitively you disprove their argument, they keep insisting it is true no matter what, and it never ends.   (Wow, I actually made that relevant!)   …But seriously. Can’t we make, like, an Official Genwun

Level 200 And Beyond

The level cap was increased just before I hit it. I guess it keeps me more invested that way.   Now that they've reset Raid Bosses, I'm defeating them very quickly...but only get just over 1000 Lux for each one. I currently need around 40,000 for each Level. That combined with April's "Half AP" thing being over mean that I can't sit and play as long as I used to, but maaaaybe that's for the best.   Oh, yeah, I got a jetpack. Jetpacks are cool. Gauntlets are also cool too.

And now it’s May, so I may have some news for you.   If you head to your local GameStop, you can pick up a Darkrai! It’s like a dream come true!   721 HERE WE COME!

Why Finish One Thing When You Can Start a Fifth

So I got bored the other night and was avoiding working on all the stories already on my plate and looked back over an old story I did featuring Vhisola and Macku on Mata-Nui. It’s really pretty basic, but I actually sort of like how it turned out—at least, I think there’s still some potential to the concept.   I now find myself considering writing a sequel. Well, it might not be too tied to the original, so that I can say “You can read this one without reading the other one”, but in essence,

War and Ruin

Beyond Ruin part 3 is now up, focusing on the Queen of War!   War’s already gotten a lot of focus—she and Light were the Queens who appeared in the story this idea grew out of so I wanted them both to be fairly important. While I'm trying to experiment with characters who aren't necessarily right or wrong, War is a character who I think needs to have a unique morality, since I had to find some positive way to spin an incarnation of the concept of war, and that’s something that one needs to thin

RoboRiders Re:Start Launch!

It took a while, but the first chapter of RoboRiders Re:Start is now up in Epics!   Originally I wanted to write the whole thing out before I began serializing it, but with the deadline on fishers’s contest fast-approaching I figured I should just start putting chapters out as soon as I can. I don’t expect it to be a particularly long story, and I will try to be quick about writing it up, but no precise schedule can be given at this time. I apologize.   I hope you enjoy this reimagining of an

Finding Some Bearings

I have emerged from Unchained X...to change my display name to something Unchained X related.   This is becoming a real problem.   In other news, The Great Career Fair has wrapped up. Sorry for being absolutely horrible at hosting that, I have no acceptable excuse and realize that I have brought dishonor upon myself. I'm gonna take a short break but I still think I'll be able to run the next Technic Tournament around mid-May.   Also I am going to try pretty dang hard to get RoboRiders Re:Start

You'll Never Guess What This Post is About

I got the cloak! Don’t think I’ll be wearing it regularly, but I wanted to document the fact that I obtained it.   I’ve spent a lot of time going back to old missions to clear out their objectives, so my Avatar Boards are expanding well and I have a decent stock of Mythril Shards. Lately I’ve taken to farming Guard Armors, originally since I needed Fairy Godmother Medals and now just because they’re my best source of Lux at the moment. They kill me several times before I kill them (the last o

Me With a Key

So this is my Unchained X character. Turns out the English version currently has only 200 missions available, so right now I’m backtracking to complete some bonus objectives and expand my Avatar Boards.   I decided to use Starlight for this picture since it’s the only Keyblade I was able to get to third tier. Three Wishes is right at the point where it can be upgraded to third tier, but I’m one Orichalcum short. Hope they add at least another 25 missions soon! Treasure Trove, Lady Luck, and Olym

Kingdom Hearts Unchained X Party

So Unchained X is really fun. Help.   But I'm making this entry to see if anyone wanted to form a party! I've set one up (right now it's just called "BZP", but we can brainstorm new names), and I believe I can add anyone if they just give me their ID. (And if you're a part of the Ursus Union.)   I'm still figuring this out, but I believe that's really all there is to it. I'll edit this if further steps are discovered.

NA Release of Kingdom Hearts Unchained X is Thursday!

I regret deleting all my gifs now, I don't think these emoticons can relate my glee.   (Source)   I kind of expected it would be a late-notice announcement since that's what they did with the Japanese version. Thank God I have the day off Thursday!   So who else is gonna download it? What Union are you thinking of joining? Since we don't really have any information on what's different between them, I was thinking I'd just go with Ursus because I like their Foreteller's Keyblade. But, if a bu
