So this is my room currently, I want to reorganize it. I live in an apartment so my room is tiny. Id like ideas on how to make it more… open? I dunno, I have a kitty who stays in my room for the most part, however he loves to leap onto my Pc and desk.. if drives me INSANE, I have vent on top of my PC so him being on it and shedding means I have to constantly clean my PC. So my idea is to completely seperate the two. Have my cat stuff in one area, including the tree and his litter box. Maybe under my bed or something out of the way? The the air purifier and stuff, then my electronics and desk in another area. I also have a mini fridge in my closet and a listless 9 box storage unit thing from target I can take advantage of but ugh idk. I just get so overwhelmed and I have really bad adhd so I won’t clean my room, move anything, or do anything until I’m able I do it all on one motion yk?

I was thinking maybe the the desk against the wall either the bed currently, and I like that idea but then idk what to do with my head or how to place it, it doesn’t have a headboard so it’s awkward with the window placed where it is.. I dunno, let me know what you guys think!

20M, no formal vocal training, but I’ve sung most of my life (choir, musical theatre, etc.).
I recently realized I’ve been misunderstanding my voice for years. I thought I had three registers: chest, head, and falsetto. What I called “falsetto” was actually my strong upper register, but because it sounded different from my speaking voice, I convinced myself it was a “fraud” register and didn’t count.

This became a problem when trying to sing songs like “Losing Streak,” “Open Arms,” and other contemporary musical theatre/pop material. I assumed that if I couldn’t reach a note in chest voice, I couldn’t belt it, so I never bothered learning about mix.
After doing some research, I’ve realized many of the singers I’m trying to emulate are using some form of mix/head-dominant coordination rather than simply dragging chest voice higher and higher.

My current strengths:
Strong upper register/M2
Can comfortably sing many female melodies
Fairly flexible voice and good at learning by imitation
Comfortable experimenting with different vocal qualities
My biggest issue is that my upper register often sounds bright, disconnected, or “just singing the note” rather than sounding speech-like and expressive.

So my question is:
Given that I already have a strong upper register, what should I focus on to develop a more connected contemporary mix and make those higher notes sound more powerful, speech-like, and stylistically appropriate for musical theatre/pop?

Alright, here's the annual who should I pull post. Now look, last time I posted, I was told Cyrene is a top priority for my account... but that was before she was going to be the same patch of Blade AND Phainon. Now listen, ik getting her will help to free up a lot of supports, but I fear E1S1 Blade is a must, PLUS I need Phainon's lightcone bad. So, like, does she really take priority? I currently have around 140 pulls, 0 pity on both banners, and 50/50s on both. E1S1 Blade takes priority (As of rn V3 Blade), then Phainons LC because he's lowkey unusable without it. Then Cyrene? Ugh, I dunno. I know Cyrene is the better option over Phainon LC, but at the end of the day, my boys come first. Any advice, guys? I will say I am not F2P whatsoever, but would also prefer not to spend more than, like.. 1 $100 pack...? I buy the BP every time and have 99 days on my pass, so I'll get a good amount of pulls, but yeah, what do you guys think based on my account currently?

Hey all!! You guys might or might not remember me, but I had a semi-big post around this same time last year during Amphoreus’s story.

I’ve been struggling to start the new story and wanted to hear what you guys think about it so far. How does it compare to previous main quests? Once I got into Amphoreus, I fell in love. The beginning was so slow, but the second the focus shifted to Mydei, I was hooked. It ended up being such a great story, and I genuinely enjoyed everyone’s journey (Cerydras and Hyselin’s patch was… okay, not my favorite, but everyone else was great!).

So I’m basically asking the same thing about the current story, what are your thoughts? Right now, my ranking is still:

1st: Penacony

2nd: Amphoreus

3rd: Xianzhou

4th: Jarilo

Penacony, for all its plot holes, loose ends, and pacing issues, was still such a good story IMO! Amphoreus felt similar, but thankfully they fixed the pacing. However, I’ve heard Planarcadia is just kinda… meh.

And unfortunately, as someone with raging ADHD, if I don’t get hooked quickly, I just end up ignoring it. That said, I do love my boys, so Ashveil’s story is something I want to experience, and with Mort Blade coming out? Oh yeah, I’m interested. More Stellaron Hunter lore is always a win!

I’m just not sure I can push through the story if it doesn’t grab me early.

So I challenge y’all: convince me to start the new story. Give me some reasons why you love it.. or hate it either one works lmao!
