should I pull Zankou’s arc or Linko’s arc?

I just pulled Zankou, and I am planning on pulling for Linko a minimum of 200 times so that I can get her fair outfit and hopefully some awakenings (I love her design and she has been my favorite character in the game since her first appearance).

I have 80 keys saved that I was planning on using for Linko’s arc, but I am wondering if it’s more useful to pull Zankou’s arc, and possibly end up using fluff of fortitude for Linko?

EDIT: looks like I’m getting both, I got Zankou’s arc in my first 10 pull at 0 pity lmao

Clash of Kings or Blackmarrow Lantern

Hello all! I was wondering whether Clash of Kings or Blackmarrow lantern is better for Nefer.

I play her premium team, and with her current build (Blackmarrow Lantern) she has a crit split of 80/217 after the artifact buff. Would Clash of Kings be an improvement? I would love to use Dawning Frost, but I don’t own it.

Does anyone have a good dutch oven pot roast recipe?

My fiancée is craving pot roast, but neither of us have ever made it. We have a Le Creuset dutch oven that we would like to use.

Any recipes or tips are greatly appreciated!

outjerked by glee season 3 episode 15

So get this… I’m rewatching glee and in season 3 episode 4 they decide to go to six flag for senior ditch day. now any TRUE gleek/thoosie would immediately see the issue here… the show takes place in lima, ohio. why wouldn’t they go to kings island or cedar point? canonically one of the characters gets a summer job at kings island. which six flags are they going to, exactly? great adventure? that’s the closest park, and it’s still a 4.5 hour drive. while kings island is only an hour and 45 minutes away.

And then, to add insult to injury, they show the cast riding a coaster… fucking VIPER. at magic mountain. embarrassing. this is the least realistic thing that has happened on the whole show, and it’s really hard to suspend disbelief around this when the rest of the show is so grounded.

my fiancée went to a new tech!

my fiancée and I found a new tech through instagram, she does the nails of a local tattoo artist that we’re planning on booking with soon. she’s only got licensed in the last year so her prices are crazy affordable, this set was only $70! she was super sweet and awesome to talk to, and we all got along really well. next time we will both be getting our nails done, I’m really excited to get a set too <3 I’ll be getting a builder gel set to match whatever my fiancée gets, I love having butch & femme matching nails. the tech said she’s really excited to do that, and that she asks her straight clients to bring their boyfriends in to get matching nails all the time but none of the guys have been down lmao

the inspo was scene kid, y2k, rawr XD vibes and she absolutely kiiiiiilled it!

recently discovered that my lifetime of gender and sexuality confusion can be encapsulated by the identity of butch lesbian. delicious and amazing banana bread with streusel that I made with my gorgeous fiancée.

I spent so long wondering if I was a boy or a girl, a tomboy, I tried to be bisexual and prove to myself that I liked men… turns out that ‘butch’ as a sexuality, gender, and relationship role melds all of it together. I love being butch and I love taking care of my femme. I love carrying her things, cooking for her, protecting her, and always making sure she’s taken care of. I love dressing masc but still being a girl. I love having silly ‘fem’ interests like collecting stickers and stuffed animals. my womanhood is my own and it’s inextricably tied to my lesbianism.

3.5 years sober, vent about visiting my hometown

I’m flying back to my hometown for a few days for a funeral (no condolences needed, it was an expected death of a terminal illness), and I am having a bunch of amorphous thoughts and feelings. I left that city three years ago, and have not been back since. I grew up in a major west coast city that’s had legalized weed since I was in middle school. In high school I fell into smoking a lot, and from 16 to 22 I was literally high 24/7. Getting sober has changed my life and I never intend to go back to using. I now live in a non legal state.

I am not worried about being tempted to smoke while I am there, it doesn’t interest me anymore and my fiancée is there with me, who was a massive help in my getting sober. But I still have all of these random chunks of thoughts and feelings that I’m not sure what to do with. So I figured I’d word vomit them on here.

- I hate knowing that everywhere I go I’ll have to smell weed smoke. I didn’t realize how awful it smelled until I was away from it for a while.

- I hate how normalized it is there. I grew up with friend’s whose parents smoked and would buy weed for them. It was just expected that it’s something every teen/young adult would do. I think that’s really insidious and gross, there’s such a culture of “it’s not addictive, it’s medicine” that ignores the real serious harm weed addiction can cause. Like, no, it’s clearly not just “medicine” if you need to be high off your ass to walk to the grocery store.

- I grew up in this city, and as a teenager I spent time in every corner. There’s almost nowhere I can go that doesn’t have some memory attached to it of getting high or doing stuff while high. I have no relationships or contact with people I knew as a teenager, I lost all of that when I stopped smoking. I didn’t realize until I left that people only liked me because of my access to weed and a place to smoke it inside.

- I had no real relationship with my step mom before she passed because she and my dad got together when I was a teenager, and I skipped out on every opportunity to get to know her so that I could go do drugs with shitty people. I feel so guilty going to her funeral to be viewed as her “family” when we had maybe five conversations in the eight or nine years they were together.

- Part of getting sober for me was healing from my eating disorder. I couldn’t digest food or gain weight for a long time because of my addiction. I am now overweight because my body is able to process food. I feel like a failure returning to a place where the social norm is to be anorexic and high all the time when I’m fat and sober. I fit in better in the south. I don’t feel like I was made to be in a place like my hometown.

I feel like every shitty decision I’ve ever made lives in that city. I spent so long escaping and learning to forgive myself, but I know that for the next five days every regret will be there, suffocating me. I want to be back in the countryside with kudzu covered trees and deer in my yard and fireflies at dusk and wide open spaces. I hate the city, the concrete is suffocating. I don’t like who I was, I wish I could be anonymous while I’m there.

/uj looking for fellow female/femme thoosies who want to made a discord server

Hello! there was a post a couple days ago looking for female thoosies in the sub, and a bunch of us mentioned wanting to have a discord server to chat in! I suck at discord so I am not the best person to start the server. is there anyone who would be willing to take on the role of starting it?

my big request is that it is a queer inclusive space, and that any and all people who identify as female, femme, or gender nonconforming are welcome. I know there are a lot of transfemme thoosies, and this server should not be a space for any terfy bullshit.

mods sorry for the /uj post <3 love you guys!

EDIT: https://discord.gg/ekp3NbhhRM server has been made!

I have a consultation this week, I am so excited!

Hello!

I have a number of tattoos that I love, but there’s a handful of smaller ones on my leg that I absolutely can’t stand. They’re ugly, poorly done, and take up a lot of space that could be used for far better pieces. I have wanted them gone for 5+ years, but I was never really sure if I wanted removal or just a cover up. after thinking about it for a bit, I’ve decided that they’re spaced out in a way that would be very difficult to cover up in a cohesive way. I’d rather start fresh and get something I actually like, rather than settle for something that just gets the job done.

I am really excited for my consultation! the tech I am going to see used to work as an ER nurse with my mother in law, and she has a really successful business offering multiple laser and micro needling treatments. my MiL is chronically ill and trusts this woman to do her migraine botox and acupuncture, so I trust that she is someone who will do a great job.

I am so excited to finally get rid of these awful decisions I made at 19 and clear up that space for art I can be proud of! I have felt so limited and embarrassed because of these shitty little tattoos for so long, and I can’t wait to regain that confidence. I live in the south and it’s annoying to spend all summer thinking “are my shorts covering that spot on my thigh? am I angling my foot so no one can see that spot on my ankle?” I won’t be able to afford any new tattoos for a while, but the option to get them in the future is filling me with so much hope.

got my credit for the new regal cinemas suspended coaster

not nearly as good as the one from the mid 2000’s though, that popcorn kernel jumpscare straight into a drop was legendary…

dialogue error in the prison

my fiancée was playing through the prison quest and she noticed this dialogue error. it seems like an issue with the coding, like the program didn’t full register which gender of esper zero she was playing as. we thought it was amusing!

made my fiancée her favorite breakfast, banana peanut butter parfait

first I mix plain greek yogurt with a bit of agave, then i whip in a bunch of powdered peanut butter. top it off with a sliced banana, and a drizzle of warm peanut butter! I am not a big peanut butter person so it’s rather overwhelming to me, but she loves it and that’s all that matters!

can someone explain the hype around akane rin?

I have seen many people post about how excited they are for her to become playable, and how they plan to spend for her. can someone explain the hype to me? I think she’s cute and all, and I love that she has that older sister sort of personality. her quest was very fun and I loved her interaction with aurelia at the end, but I’m failing to see what makes her so exciting for so many players!

I don’t mean this to sound contrarian or anything, I am genuinely just curious about what has endeared her to so many players. please enlighten me!
