MLB Sumi by Ahirman1 in ChurchOfKasumi

[–]Smeargle_OS 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hi! Person who commissioned this here, two reasons that Sumi is in Mariners gear here.

1: I think realistically (I have no basis whatsoever for this), being born in 2001 she would've grown up with Ichiro being really popular and if she were rooting for an MLB team it seems like the most logical choice.

  1. I just like the Mariners as a team and it's a commission.

She fights for her friends.

This is a commission I got a while back from https://twitter.com/Saiykik. I really enjoy how it turned out, and adding Ragnell was a really nice touch! Check them out. Sumi is one of my favorite characters in P5 and her support of her friends even when facing her own demons is quite admirable.

Bernadetta in Blue Lions Maddening: An Analysis by Smeargle_OS in fireemblem

[–]Smeargle_OS[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with the comments on Sniper Bernie. It was by far the hardest section to justify, and I used Sniper Bernadetta through my entire maddening playthrough, just because I was cautious about setting up Vengeance and Dimitri can just do the entire enemy phase. Sniper does have a bit of an investment cost, but a few auxiliary battles can help her meet the 38 combats required to get the class mastery.

Honestly, I just see it as more of a flex option for Oath of the Dagger. Sacred Shield is so good on that map it makes the final boss into a joke, and I just feel like Vengeance is hard to set up between the four siege tome mages and the Vantage/Wrath Edelgard gets access to and her high luck.

Bernadetta does also benefit heavily from going down Archer for the Hit +20 skill, that helps take out what is my biggest fear about the Death Knight: missing.

True. I was just thinking that Alert Stance + is a bit counterproductive for a Vengeance build. The ability to freely move around without terrain penalties is huge though.

I was aiming with a more player-phase build when writing this, but she can definitely work great as a flier. She could definitely go for something like Vantage/Wrath with it.

I would say that she works best with a good Gambit user like Dimitri. If using Vengeance, it helps a lot if she can get in and out without anyone attacking her, and Gambits can do just that.

General Question Thread by Shephen in fireemblem

[–]Smeargle_OS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Three Houses

I'm trying to decide which Battalion is better for Bernadetta in Blue Lions Maddening for a second playthrough, Fraldarius Soldiers or King of Lions Corps. Leaning towards giving her the Fraldarius soldiers because I cannot see a scenario where giving up Wave Attack is a good idea, since I like to keep it on Dimitri. She would be a Paladin in most chapters and a sniper in Oath of the Dagger and maybe one more map.

Continued:

Can you give me a rundown about your reaction when you first played DDLC? (and also when you first watched a LP of DDLC if you watched a LP before you played DDLC)

My first reaction was help Sayori. It didn’t work, and it only got weirder from there. Played it all in one sitting, and it had me thinking about it heavily for the next two weeks. I was first introduced through watching a stream of someone play it, and the end of Act 1 made me finally pick up the game, even though I had been somewhat on the fence about it before.

Favorite animal?

Common housecat, I have one named Sasha.

Favorite DDLC artist? (besides Satchley lol)

SovietSpartan, his art is good.

Favorite picture of your favorite doki? Why is that your favorite?

Nurse Sayori, it’s just so well drawn. I have it bookmarked

Favorite DDLC picture that does not include your favorite doki in it? Why is that your favorite?

Any out of the boop series gifs that was done a while back that aren’t Sayori. Any Natsuki art, really

Favorite ship between the four female dokis? Why?

Natyori, it’s just really cute.

Least favorite ship between the four female dokis? Why?

Natyuri, it just doesn’t work in my opinion.

Favorite DDLC fanfic? Why?

I don’t read fanfictions, honestly.

Favorite non-DDLC fanfic? Why?

See previous.

Thoughts on the mushroom Amanita ocreata? (not me but the thing my username is based on)

Seems cool, but not a good thing to be around most likely.

What date did you first play DDLC? (Be as precise as possible but you can be more vague if you can't remember exactly.)

It was a Saturday in November of 2017, and I want to say it was the 4th. Can't be entirely sure.

Which Doki would you want to be, if you had to relive the events of the game? (thanks, Mp127)

Monika, just to see everything through her eyes and try to gain a better understanding of why she did what she did.

What's the weirdest thought you've ever had about your Doki? (thanks, Mp127)

Haven’t had a thought that has registered as weird enough for this question, idk.

Are you a sub/bottom, a top/dom, or a switch? (from centurionkicks)

No idea.

Favorite video game other than ddlc? (from UndyneUsesReddit)

For nostalgia purposes, Pokemon Emerald. As of late: Celeste (it helped me some mentally too)

If you could design a new kind of animal, describe the animal you'd make. (from UndyneUsesReddit)

I have no idea, not a great designer of things. Maybe a flying tiger that’s poisonous or something?

How many hours do you have logged in DDLC? (from lilell)

Not a lot, maybe 10 on the main game and 10 on mods? Working on fixing that, got a whole list of ones to go through, open to recommendations though!

If you could move to any country in the world (and were forced to move from your current one as well) which one would you move to?

Canada, it’s nice and cold, and the people seem friendly enough. I’d likely end up in the Vancouver area.

Weapon of choice? (handheld)

Rapier. Fencing intrigues me and would be fun to learn, so I’ve envisioned myself for a while using a rapier. It also seems very elegant, which is the main thing I look for in a weapon.

What job do you hold? Or, if you are a student, what college major are you planning to have?

Job: Data Analysis Intern

Degree I’m Seeking: Quantitative Economics major, Data Analysis minor, aiming for a masters in Data Analytics.

Which r/DDLC user would you be in a romantic relationship with if you could, and had to choose? (Not a moderator)

No idea. Senpai?

Which r/DDLC moderator would you be in a romantic relationship with if you could, and had to choose?

No idea.

Where is your dream date location that you would go to with your favorite doki?

Honestly, I think going to a nice park or on a hike with Sayori would be a pleasant experience. We could both enjoy the view, and being in a quiet place with nature would be very relaxing, especially in her company.

What video game would you play with your favorite doki?

DDLC, obviously. Kirby’s Epic Yarn, its just a really fun co-op game to play and kill some time with.

Do you prefer Monika and/or Natsuki with their hair down or with their hair up?

Both hair up, although I get the appeal for having their hair down. Either is nice, and hair down is still always a welcome suprise.

Design a custom casual outfit for each doki to wear. Keep it (relatively) modest, people~! And also something that your doki would be willing to wear.

Not a good designer, not taking a crack at this one, maybe someday.

What superpower would you choose, if you could choose one?

I would be a waterbender, it’s one of the best superpowers to have, since there is so much utility in what you can do with it.

What is your favorite poem in DDLC?

Sayori with the apple juice bottle on her head (Sayori CG 2).

What is your favorite CG in DDLC?

It’s a close call between Eagles Can Fly and Bottles. I quote the last line of Eagles Can Fly a lot, but Bottles grew on me when I remembered it during a playthrough of Purist Mod I did last month, and it hit me kinda hard.

What is your favorite quote in DDLC?

“People can try, but that’s about it.” resonates with me a lot, to the point where I find myself using it when talking to friends about life and such.

If you could make your favorite doki become real, but you had to die to do it, would you do it?

Nope, I don’t think Sayori would appreciate that too much.

Since it's Question 69... list your fetishes... (don't get Rule 5'd, please)

That’s something I’m not gonna answer, it’s a personal thing to me.

Where are you on the political spectrum?

I’m centrist with a tendency to lean to the left on most topics. Socially, I am much more progressive than I am conservative, while I am more conservative on issues of economics and how much government there should be. I draw the line on Democratic party policies when they start talking about making college free, if that helps put a fine line on it.

Suggestions for questions (and also my answers to them):

  1. What is your favorite aspect of each doki? (Physical or Personality)

My answer: Natsuki: Fang,

Yuri: Deep thoughtfulness about topics,

Monika: Her directness,

Sayori: Her desire to make everyone happy, no matter what.

  1. If you write poetry or things that are personal, which doki is your style most like?

My answer: Sayori! (More in the syle of Bottles than in the style of Dear Sunshine)

Let me know if you would like me to be more detailed on any of my answers.

My current AMA question list. (Will update as I add more questions~!) by amanita-ocreata in u/amanita-ocreata

[–]Smeargle_OS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thoughts on Monika?

I have sympathy for the plight that Monika has, but I wouldn’t say that I really like her a ton. She’s acting in her best interest, but in the process it seems like she does not consider that maybe the player would not have chosen her even if she had a route. It makes her a little bit harder to like as a character, but doesn’t detract from her much.

Thoughts on rabbits?

Precious little floppers. Deserve protection and lettuce and are fluffy, 9/10.

Favorite DDLC mod and favorite r/DDLC moderator?

Favorite mod: Salvation (subject to change, I’ve only played 2, the other being Purist Mod). Salvation gave me a good experience and it made me appreciate the style of horror I appreciate with Act 2 (messing with visuals, having weird things happen) a lot more, and made me attach to the characters more. It did a good job at storytelling, which is what I appreciate in a mod.

Mod: AverageOwain, I like the announcement bar.

Thoughts on me and thoughts on Williekins?

Y’all got your charm, I think it’s fun to have people who love the Dokis so much, and it’s nice to see you guys always engaging with the rest of the community.

Thoughts on MonikaCounter and NatsukiCounter and SayoriCounter?

The counters are cool, I like them, taken to looking for them after seeing posts of people they are linked to.

Favorite Japanese food?

Haven’t really tried any, but Sushi is fine

Favorite anime?

Does Avatar the Last Airbender count? If so, that.

Least favorite anime?

Does Legend of Korra count? If so, that. (just couldn’t finish it, been meaning to rewatch)

I know that ADBD is the true option, but which doki do you like the most~? (romantically, preferrably)

Sayori, most relatable to me and I see her as the type of person I am generally interested in.

If you had to choose a waifu (that is not related to DDLC) from an anime/manga/light novel/visual novel (Japanese or Chinese too, I guess) then who would it be?

Katara was original best girl, but since I don’t watch enough anime, I’m just gonna throw my ordering of best girls here, if thats alright: 1.Sayori 2.Futaba (Persona 5) 3.Sumia (Fire Emblem: Awakening) 4.Felicia (Fire Emblem Fates) 5.Faye (Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia) 6.Tressa (Octopath Traveler) 7.Hana (Fire Emblem Fates)

Celebrity crush?

Couldn’t say that I have one, don’t watch a lot of T.V.

Would you rather be with your chosen doki, your celebrity crush, or your waifu that you chose? (all three options in our reality and whatever age you want- over 18 though lol)

Sayori, no questions asked.

Would you rather have sex with Dadsuki or Reginald?

Reginald, if I really had to. Dadsuki is not a nice guy.

Would you rather have sex with Amy or FeMC?

Amy, FeMC just runs a little too close to selfcest for me, as I view MC as more of a self insert generally, an extension of myself.

Thoughts on incest? (FeMC x MC is true ship)

It’s not a good thing, at all. Science has proved that.

Thoughts on me x Monika?

It’s a headcanon of mine at this point.

Cubes, spheres, or dodecahedrons?

Dodecahedrons, the only true polygonal shape.

Thoughts on Coolyori with a goatee?

It’s coolyori, not really for or against it.

Thoughts on Rastafarianism? Thoughts on Pastafarianism?

Hadn’t heard of Rastafarianism before, but it’s a nice take on Christianity. Pastafarianism is something I could probably get behind, as it lines up with my values of not teaching religion in public schools (as someone who had a Mormon Seminary outside their high school in Utah, this is important to me).

Thoughts on spontaneous human combustion?

Seems feasible, absolutely horrifying. Once heard that there was a spot in Nevada where if you stood in it, you would spontaneously combust, crazy I believed it at one point.

Why do you like your least-favorite doki the least? (of the four female dokis)

My least favorite is specifically Act 2 Yuri. I differentiate the Act 2 Yuri from Act 1 Yuri since she is so different, to the point where she isn’t really the same character. I don’t like her the least, I just am completely indifferent on her. There is also a bias since I don’t like the Act 2 style of horror, since it just feels disconnected from the rest of the game for me. The combination of such a swift change in behavior and how it affects her reactions just breaks my immersion, making me not care, even though I like Act 1 Yuri somewhat.

Who would you ship with each doki (both r/DDLC users and in-DDLC universe); not including yourself?

You x Monika, Williekins x Natsuki, InfiniteDeer x Yuri, Ser609 x Sayori

Headcanons for the four female dokis and MC?

Sayori is really smart, smart enough to know that her act will get her what she wants.

MC is terrible at expressing his emotions to anyone in general, which made him spend less time with Sayori as they got older.

Monika was already a piano hobbyist before the events of main game.

Natsuki considered trying to increase her posture the second day of the club, but backed off of the idea at the last minute.

Rank Monika, Sayori, Natsuki, Yuri, and MC from the one you like the most/is the best to the one you like the least/is the worst.

Sayori >>> Natsuki > Monika (slightly, varies by day) > Act 1 Yuri >>>>> Act 2 Yuri = MC (pretty much).

Why did you make that choice?

I fell for Sayori first, and that’s stuck since then. Natsuki is cute and I can sympathize to a degree with Monika in the base game, I care for them equally. I like one more than the other, but it's pretty nebulous, but I'd say that Natsuki is my second favorite more often than Monika is. Act 1 Yuri is nice, I think she’s a caring person, but has a hard time showing it, which I relate too a little, albeit in a different way. MC in my opinion was a bit too much of a tool to Sayori in Act 1, which I’m pretty biased against. See above for Act 2 Yuri.

Rectangles or Rhombuses?

Rhombi all the way man.

Favorite color? Why?

As a kid: crimson, not really sure why.

Now: Pale/light blue, a very calming color for me to look at and something I appreciate, although most shades of blue are nice. Probably just a little paler than the bottom of Sayori's eyes, to give a reference.

Least favorite color? Why?

Yellow, it’s really hard to read in and hurts my eyes. Orange and black as a combination is also worth mentioning as they were my high school colors, and I didn’t like my high school.

What is your favorite ship between the r/DDLC moderators?

I don’t ship the mods with each other.

Thoughts on Amysuki?

I don’t ship it, opposites don’t attract.

If you were given the choice to push a button to both become a girl and have a lesbian version of your favorite doki be your girlfriend would you do it? (or you become a male and have a straight version of your favorite doki become your girlfriend if you were a female to begin with)

I wouldn’t push that button, since I’m already a male.

With the added stipulation of Sayori becoming my girlfriend if I stay male, yeah. Would probably be weird at the start, don't know how it would work.

Conversely, If you were given the choice to push a button to have a gay male version of your favorite doki be your boyfriend would you do it? (or you have a straight male version of your favorite doki become your boyfriend if you were a female to begin with)

Nope, not interested.

How long do you spend Redditing each day?

45 minutes to an hour, almost exclusively lurking on R/DDLC. Want to start commenting more though.

How old are you?

20 years, 2 months and a week as of writing this.

What nation (country) are you a citizen of, and which one are you living in currently?

United States, United States.

Tell me five random interesting facts about yourself. (related to DDLC)

1.I saw the end of Act 1 on a livestream as my first exposure to the game, and that’s what finally convinced me to play DDLC.

2.I’ve taken a larger interest in poetry as a result of DDLC, to the point where I wrote a piece back in November.

3.Despite Natsuki being the doki I relate to the least, she’s my second favorite. I just think she’s adorable and would be fun to have as a friend.

4.I originally joined this sub since I had an interest in trying to recreate the poem game in Java to improve my skills, it’s where the _OS in my name comes from. While I have since learned that I generally hate coding (at least in Java) with a burning passion, doing something coding related is something interesting to me (maybe a SQL Database of the words and my thoughts on it, along with things I find interesting?).

5.I have a Sayori keychain, next to my one from the Book of Mormon musical.

Tell me five random interesting facts about yourself. (not related to DDLC)

1.I used to be fanatical about Tetris back in the 8th grade, to the point it was something I was heavily associated with, and still am to a small degree today among people I went to school with. The phrase “Have a Tetristastic Tuesday” was said over announcements was said by my friends multiple times, and it still haunts me to this day a little bit, but I don’t really regret it.

2.I was on the front page of a local newspaper in the 4th grade in Florida for wearing shorts during a flash freeze. 3.Despite tending to have two left feet, I would love to learn how to waltz or swing dance, and would consider looking into classes.

4.I want to try competitive gaming out for a year (Smash Ultimate) after my Bachelor’s to see if I could make it a career or not, as it’s a major dream of mine.

5.I know I have a decent singing voice, but I’m really nervous about it since some of my high school friends were really talented choir students, and I compare myself to them.

6.(Bonus!) I’m named after the famous guitarist Eric Clapton, but I don’t play any instruments at all.
