How Brawl Stars saved my life

I just wanted at least one person who's been through the same thing to see my story. I'm 20 y.o. girl, and at the beginning of the summer, I broke up with my bf of six months (it was my second relationship; my previous one lasted two years). I started having problems at work and fighting with my parents, so much so that they literally kicked me out of the house. But not long before we broke up, my ex showed me Brawl Stars and gave me his old account from 2022 or 2023. It had only silver ranks, but I became so hooked that I now have three brawlers from the second prime. Every time I come home from work, I sit down to play on my tablet, often with my brother or my bf, and it gives me incredible pleasure.

Yes, I'm in a new relationship now, and it's much stronger than the previous two, because this guy was my friend for two years, and now we've started dating after we both got closer after our breakups. It turns out he used to like Brawl Stars too, and he restored his old account for me. We also share the same favorite ship — Edgar and Colette. We love the idea that we've been friends for a long time, had unrequited love (like Emz for Edgar and Spike for Colette), worked together (we were in the same metal band), and then got together in the same way these characters might have. Right now, we're preparing cosplays of them both for Halloween — I'm making everything for his Edgar, and he's making everything for my Colette. We're following this crazy series, each time Supercell drops some hint about that ship only to have it ruined in future, and so on in a circle, to keep community's attention (like the Brawlentine event, when Angello said Edgar wasn't crazy to have feelings for Colette, and then inf has appeared that Angello's gossip can't be 100% trusted because he loves drama; and If you were about to write about the age gap, please, read this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Brawlstars/s/ExCHWWLqpe)

Also because of the Duolingo event, I actually started learning Spanish so I could chat with my friend from Mexico. Btw, she drew this wonderful commission for me (natasdas.kt).

I told you so you know how much one game can change a person's life. She makes me happy, and I want the same for all of you. Stay safe ❤️

Turbofan got exactly what she wanted!

Now all I have left to do is buy or make a damn cash register, and I’ll get my favorite trio!

It's been five years, guys, it's time to close this topic

Many of you know that Paul (former skin designer for Brawl Stars) once made an official statement in X (former Tweeter) regarding the ages of various characters. According to his statement, we had 13-15 Penny, 20-23 Bea, 28-31 Max, 16 Edgar and some others. So he left the company in 2021, leaving behind a ton of controversy within the fandom about the accuracy of these numbers. But he also mentioned that the ages he stated were just concepts, and they're briefs for the voice actors and ideas that aren't entirely confirmed. So here's the reminder: concepts ≠ officially released game characters; the words of a former artist ≠ the words of current team members.

So please respect each other and let's keep peace in our community ✌🏻

Slowly preparing an Edgar cosplay for Halloween

This cosplay isn't exactly for me, but for my boyfriend. We agreed to cosplay as Edgar and Colette, so I'm gathering the items for his Edgar, and he's buying everything for my Colette. I already have the scarf, pants, and boots, so all that's left is to wait for the gloves to arrive and the print to be applied to the shirt. Wish us luck!

My cosplay offering

I like to think that I'm representing some kind of "spiritual daughter" of Vessel here, since the image is only partially based on Sleep Token, and is otherwise an original concept. What do you think?

Was I a bad employee?

Right now, I work at a very cozy, low-traffic coffee shop that opened just a year ago, where the management is very kind and genuinely treats me like part of the family. Accordingly, I respect all our customers, remember their habits, and am always happy to see them. But before that, I worked at a very standard, crappy coffee shop, where all the employees (myself included) used one shot of espresso per two cups of coffee and poured less milk with more foam to reduce consumption. We didn't value each person individually, because even if one said our coffee was crap and never came back, two more would immediately take their place.

So, would it be fair to call me a bad employee, or have I been just corrupted by the system?

Tell me, where do you draw that line?

Well, I'm not hiding, so you can just look at my profile to see who I am. I'm a metal journalist from Belarus who started her career running a Mayhem tribute page with various facts about the band, and went on to interview Sorry..., Dymna Lotva, Machine Head, Ciemra, and more. And there have been, and still are, things related to Mayhem in my life that people here usually call cringeworthy. I cosplayed Euronymous (he's on my profile), using real bullets for my belt, and I also commissioned an art of Dead as Viago from «What We Do In The Shadows» for a dakimakura, because I'm willing to spend any amount of money for a rofls. At the same time, I support my country's local scene (including black metal), buy band merch, and try to push them from the underground into the mainstream.

A question exclusively for the bosses of this subreddit. Tell me, can someone like me be called a poser?
