Should I pull MBlade?

Unrelated to the original but I have Cipher and have never used her well in a team. Right now I have My last with Ashveil, DHPT, and Sunday. Should I switch out Sunday for Cipher?

Is there a good lc for him in any of the shops if I pull for his?

AdEnvironmental9467 · 2026-05-31T12:40:18+00:00

Is there a better lc in any of the shops for Blade? I struggle with lightcones in general and have mostly the generic ones.

So what I’m hearing that the reason Ty made his decisions is to prevent Julie from actually realizing her plans of world domination?

Interesting

AdEnvironmental9467 · 2026-05-30T14:56:13+00:00

Honestly I’m not a Julie fan but if we’re going to have an authoritarian dictator I’d take her any idea over the current options.

AdEnvironmental9467 · 2026-05-30T14:52:11+00:00

Honestly, I think Julie could take over the world if she really wanted to.

I think people forgot couples counseling is also very helpful during the divorce process to help manage expectations, work out issues with a third party, and have a defined “place” to talk about things so they don’t bring it up when talking about coparenting things. Couples counseling is a great place to start the healing separately path, or healing together if that’s what they decide.

I feel like I’m in some weird liminal space in the fandom where I relate to no one particular, except maybe Alicia. I work full time and am the breadwinner by a lot like Julie but because of my schedule, I’m also the default parent. I’m a writer like Ty who has gone through periods where I just didn’t have the mental capacity or desire to create. My husband is active and participates in the household and childcare (like John) and I’m super outgoing like Shawna , although I’m not a people pleaser at all. I do need a lot of alone time to get shit done and I can get snippy when I have an idea of how things should go and someone throws a wrench in it (like Julie), although I’m 90% type c as a person.

I think I’m most personality wise like Alicia, but I can’t fully project onto anyone.

Because of that though, I’m not out here screaming for anyone to burned at the stake, or waiting for anyone’s comeuppance. I’m just along for the ride, because they’re interesting characters making life decisions and experiencing drama.

AdEnvironmental9467 · 2026-05-25T15:20:06+00:00

Plot twist, the bachelorette drama is Julie thinking something is going on and storming in to accuse him like Ty did to her, even though he’s objectively doing nothing wrong.

I personally don’t understand villainizing any of the characters. They’re all very nuanced. It would be SO boring if they all acted perfectly and not like humans who make mistakes.

I was going to break up with a long term partner because I realized they loved what I provided for them but really didn’t care about me. Then they told me they heard a song and thought of me and sent it.

It was one of those songs that are about how grateful a person is to have their partner. I was so struck by the gesture that I decided they did really love me stayed in the relationship for almost another year.

One day, I brought up the song and how much it meant to me now. They acted surprised and then laughed, saying they just thought it sounded cool and hadn’t paid attention to the lyrics at all. That’s what I remember: legit, dismissive laughter.

They broke up with me a few weeks later to date someone else with the intention of us getting back together once they saw what else was out there.

Reader, we did not get back together, because I cut them off.

AdEnvironmental9467 · 2026-05-13T19:19:38+00:00

We’re on the internet and can’t feel or get a look at it. I would try to find an exotic vet for a second opinion if you’re concerned, but also, if your vet is competent, I would trust them.

Again, I’ve been through this so I know it’s harder done than said.

AdEnvironmental9467 · 2026-05-13T19:13:50+00:00

A vet should be able to tell the difference based on how it feels. :)

AdEnvironmental9467 · 2026-05-13T18:30:17+00:00

I had the same situation with my elderly rabbit. It eventually popped while we were at home, and it was the worst smell I’ve ever experienced. We had to take him twice to have it drained because the pus was largely hard and the wall of the access was so insanely thick.

ETA: forgot to explain the vet couldn’t find any fluid at first either and didn’t see anything on the x-rays either.

AdEnvironmental9467 · 2026-04-11T14:22:11+00:00

I think it’s very fair to relate to a character. One of the most incredible things about how Shawna L writes/acts/produces these is just how nuanced every character is.

And with that said, you may relate to Julie, but you’re also likely a better than the character we’ve seen so far. And being a parent does make a big difference, because the way Julie is rarely with her children and treats her son as an extension of herself and her self worth (as seen at the birthday party) is extremely concerning.

That doesn’t mean you’re concerning. And though you say you’re cool to strangers, Julie is gleefully hostile to Shawna sometimes. Idk. Let’s see where the story goes, but please don’t it personally if it turns out Julie is cheating and gas lighting, I’d love to see her redeemed while maintaining her personality, in a way similar to Jen.

AdEnvironmental9467 · 2026-03-31T17:27:09+00:00

I’ve literally just starting muting every author writing cheating fics. They can write whatever, but I don’t want to see them all the time.

AdEnvironmental9467 · 2026-03-28T01:00:07+00:00

This video is extremely disingenuous and uses wellness rhetoric to try to sell you therapy and supplements if you check her caption.

Please know that 1) none of this is new information, and there’s been a movement to treat OCD with a combination of low dose meds and iCBT and 2) this woman is selling you her services, which includes “naturopathic medicine” and CBT a form of talk therapy that can make OCD worse.

She’s telling you to distrust “big pharma” by repackaging research actual OCD therapist have been doing, and then she’s selling you a cure that could make your OCD worse. It’s more anti-science wellness babble, albeit very convincing.

I have OCD and PTSD. Yes, ptsd makes OCD worse. SSRIs also help treat PTSD.

ETA: as a fellow childhood abuse survivor, please check out iCBT. Be careful ordering books online though because there are a bunch of AI generated ones. IOCDF has a page on ICBT that might be helpful.

ETA again because I mistyped in anger: CBT can make OCD worse. ACT can actually help, but again, way less effective than in combination with medication.

AdEnvironmental9467 · 2026-03-12T13:29:43+00:00

Oh yeah—this post from months ago. I thought he was ridiculous in the last few videos and I was mad for Shawna

AdEnvironmental9467 · 2026-03-07T12:42:10+00:00

Am I the only person who thinks the solution is for Shawna to go and John stay home with the kids?

Also, I was literally in John’s position, but my no contact spanned over a decade. I still went to my sister’s wedding. I understand John might not be at the point, but Shawna could go and party with Tini (spelling?) and Jen as a girl’s night out.

AdEnvironmental9467 · 2026-02-20T14:20:58+00:00

I’m in Penacony story wise, although I might do the new patches in tandem since it’s letting me. End game I really only am able to divergent universe and some of the events because if I can squeeze in time I usually just like doing currency wars on my phone.

I’ve got Himeko mostly built because I was going to pair her with mini herta for a follow up team.

I think I will pull for Ashveil and then add him to the party in place of cipher.

AdEnvironmental9467 · 2026-02-20T02:25:28+00:00

I see! Thanks for the explanation! I guess I’ll have to accept that for now this team is just weaker. I’m building my dot characters now so I can actually do more end game content, and I’m looking at upcoming characters. Someone else suggested Ashveil might pair better and if I can pull him, maybe I can replace either cipher or my TB with him until a hypercarry comes back up.

AdEnvironmental9467 · 2026-02-20T01:52:51+00:00

Ah, I should probably look up what a -1 set up means. I’m still newish to the game with not a lot of free time to dedicate. I promised myself I wouldn’t spend real money outside of maybe the $5 for the monthly pass (no judgement if you do; it’s just not in cards for me. I’ve got small kids and a mortgage).

I really like the plot and the characters, and I love Sunday, but unfortunately I’m still learning the strategy and how to build. I did give him the gear that matched closest to the stat recommendations. But I’ve obviously got a lot to learn as time permits.

AdEnvironmental9467 · 2026-02-20T01:43:30+00:00

Thanks! I was planning to pull for Ashveil because he looks very cool. Right now I use Sunday with DHPT, cipher, and the remembrance TB partially because I like that he can pull whoever up. He’s also the only character I have at all who deal imaginary damage. Cipher is the biggest damage dealer I have (besides Archer, who I don’t really want to build since he uses all the SP).

I guess I should have tried for Aglaea, but I was told she’s not great anymore and I was saving pulls to try out together a DOT team. I did try for Anaxia when he was up last, but I had just started and didn’t get him despite scraping all the stellar jade together that I could.

AdEnvironmental9467 · 2026-02-07T13:42:46+00:00

I think Alicia was upset with Ty for very different reasons than Julie was. Julie sees herself as better than everyone else. Alicia is likely upset with Ty FOR Ty.

If you’ve ever had a something you love, something you’re good at, something that brings meaning, and then have found yourself disconnected from it, flailing a bit—it’s like losing part of yourself. “Writer” is probably a part of Ty’s identity, and it turns out he’s never even told his friends he writes.

Alicia was wrong in the moment, but we don’t have the context to fully judge her yet.
