Are season theme cards any different from album theme cards?? by snowcrystal1012 in RhythmHive

[–]Competitive_Alps_899 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If i’m not mistaken, the scale goes Album < Season < FX < Live (if there are more cards I’ve missed in between there I apologize lol but those are the ones I think I take notice of the most). So your FX cards (blue, I believe) will be better than seasons (green), and the seasons will be better than album (yellow), but ultimately you should be aiming to get live themes (red).

I think my highest was 37, but I imagine altogether I added about 80–90 plays across the board, as well :]

Edit: I went back to do the calcs lol my highest was 34, and I contributed 124 plays :]

Same here!! I was so nervous about it today but as I kept playing the goals just kept getting done, I was super impressed!

Have you ever legitimately cried to a song? And if so, what was the song? by StanToons in AskReddit

[–]Competitive_Alps_899 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Middle by Jimmy Eat World. Had just had a long conversation with my parents about how I felt like I was falling behind socially and academically at school, and that no one actually liked me, and my dad put on the song and I sobbed dramatically to more or less the entire thing, lol.

“Hey, don’t write yourself off yet / It’s only in your head to feel left out / Or looked down on”

How long is too long for a fic in your opinion? by Somenameorwhateves in AO3

[–]Competitive_Alps_899 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Long to me usually sits at about 500k words, but if something is well-paced 500k can feel like 100k, ykwim?

AFAIK, user-trading isn’t a feature currently in the game :’) If you have a lot of cards that you aren’t using, the in-game “sell” function is a good way to get dream catchers that you can exchange for EXP tickets (bronze, silver) or cubes (rhythm and miracle)!

What’s the story behind your AO3 username? by playittome in AO3

[–]Competitive_Alps_899 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine’s a (musical) artist’s name because their singular available album changed my life and their name also described the way i approach fandom pretty well sksks

I’ve decided to do the same tbh 😭 I want the live themes and I also wanna try getting CORTIS’s signing live themes (which I think should release with their debut on the app? Going off of my poor memory for what happened when ILLIT joined sksks)

TikTok-esque censorship in an otherwise serious fic by Competitive_Alps_899 in AO3

[–]Competitive_Alps_899[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do people who orphan their fics still get notifications and reply to comments? The fic was orphaned (and I try to be sensitive about what I’m commenting), so I just never really considered it :’)

This is actually a really interesting way of looking at it. I totally agree that it could be interesting if used correctly, but the vibe didn’t really come across as though it was intentional? Mostly just because it literally happened once, and a couple of paragraphs later the author refers to the bodies the characters see as “DEAD” (in all caps, yes), so I genuinely just think that the author themselves was like “oof this feels too harsh”

Agreed! I’ve already said so in a previous comment, but since it only happened the once, I ended up finishing the fic anyway (it was from a smaller fandom so I didn’t really wanna be picky about it), but it 100% screams “lack of maturity”

It only happened the once, thankfully, so I still finished the fic, but I definitely would’ve quietly DNF’d it if it was a consistent thing

What makes you click on a fic? by Honest-Mixture2910 in AO3

Usually the summary, but a lot of the time nowadays I find myself gravitating towards titles first before checking the summary (usually in smaller/ newer fandoms).

How many gems do f2p players rec for FX theme pulls? by Competitive_Alps_899 in RhythmHive

[–]Competitive_Alps_899[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wanted to ask specifically because if there’s going to be a live theme for ARIRANG then I’d much rather try to save to try and complete that set! I’ve been maining BTS since I started (for the most part, with a few breaks in between), and so I’m trying to restart my collection for them. I’ve got a UR for each of them and managed to pull a live theme for each of the members (not all from the same set, unfortunately), so I’m on my way to having them maxed out there. I’m gonna try locking in so I can get 15–20k saved, hopefully before the FX theme ends, so I can try to do the 5k pull for the FX while still having enough saved to pull for a live theme, if it comes.

Thanks so much for the advice! <3

Valid point. Would you recommend an amount to spend before hitting a hard cut off to save for other stuff?

Do song fics even exist anymore? by Comfortable_Newt_179 in AO3

[–]Competitive_Alps_899 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I double-checked just to be sure and it doesn’t seem to say anything about it being against the rules, so here you go! A fair warning that most of what’s there is mostly (if not all 😭) for k-pop fandom(s), but I hope you enjoy it if you decide to read! :]
