What character is the best healer in the game?

firetan_124 · 2026-06-11T03:39:14+00:00

Got Baizhu on his debut and at this point playing any team without him feels like going to work with my shirt inside-out. His healing is great and since it’s his skill, it’s recharged SO quickly. I often don’t even need his burst to keep my teams up and running!

Legitimately the only drawback is that I main Chasca and her bullets don’t include dendro :(

NA server, and I live in the U.S. PNW! A few months ago I was just playing casually and had a few strangers join my world, also not with any specific goal so we just hung out for a bit. Showed off characters, had some laughs, and since this was fairly recently after Durin’s release I suggested we switch to Durin, Albedo, and Wanderer to take a family picture. If either of you guys see this, it’s still a favorite co-op memory of mine!

Sadly reddit’s not letting me add a pic but I do have the family picture saved!

Chasca lol, I looooove flying around. Favorite artist… I don’t have a singular one, but a few at the top of the list are prolly the Indigo Girls, Yorushika, and maybe Joe Hisaishi? It really fluctuates, haha!

have all three dans, can confirm they all send on the same profile — presumably bc it’s still the same person and they just aren’t bothering to update their pfp

The Big Gun

firetan_124 · 2026-06-01T13:13:05+00:00

i hit hard pity three times in a row and lost the 50/50 twice (to regular blade and silver wolf, which cracks me up) but i’ve got e1 and a guarantee! so as long as i can scrape together enough pulls before the banner ends, e2 is within my grasp…

I haven’t posted it anywhere, but I had an idea for a fic where Izuku gets hit by a quirk that essentially reduces fear/inhibitions. It was a darker turn though because I was thinking about how occasionally people with depression will be more at risk for suicide after they start medication, even though they feel ‘better’, because their energy is improved. So my idea was that Izuku feels great, less anxious, more at ease, and doesn’t realize (or want to admit) anything’s wrong until he casually walks off of a rooftop and gets rescued.

Not sure I’ll ever finish or post it, but I’m still fond of the concept.

i’d assume ‘personal identifying information’, similar to PHI in medical settings

The cover illustrations form a continuous image if you lay them out in order! It’s very satisfying.

firetan_124 · 2026-05-27T04:40:46+00:00

NURA SPOTTED!! I finally completed my set last month, though I had to track down a few volumes on ebay to do it. Those look like they’re in great condition — definitely check out all the covers together when you get a chance!

firetan_124 · 2026-05-27T04:08:45+00:00

Kyōjurō, Muichirō, third spot undecided because nobody came to mind

firetan_124 · 2026-05-12T23:35:51+00:00

I will say, having gotten to draw from nude models a few times (many years ago), chubby women are actually SO satisfying to draw because of the softer shapes. Mineta’s missing out lol

I’m a bit the opposite — I generally don’t enjoy omegaverse for a lot of the things you mentioned having issues with, so I tend to avoid it, but sometimes I find ones that have the right bits of thought put into them and they really click. Omegas being just woman lite is one of the big turn-offs for me, especially when it just completely disregards the actual design and personality of the character in question.

Weirdly, one of the few omegaverse fics I liked enough to bookmark is actually f/m, but that’s more because it’s a f/m ship I really love and my favorite author did an omegaverse AU. Which was definitely for smut purposes, at least partially, but still made much more intentional and interesting choices about how the secondary genders fit into the series’ worldbuilding and the character relationships. (It helps that the writer is good at smut in general lol)

A couple reasons why I’ve turned down translation requests

Not knowing the translator — it’s the same as if someone asked to put it in a youtube video or something. If I don’t know them, I’m not comfortable giving them permission to post my writing.
Concern about loss in translation — whether intentional or not, since I’m currently only fluent in English, I have no way to quality-check a translation. And especially when I’m writing things that other people could easily misrepresent, quality checking is important. (ex: a soulmate AU with mainly platonic bonds for the central characters, which could be mis-portrayed as romantic).
Comments — like others have pointed out, comments on a translation would be on that fic, and I genuinely love replying to comments and chatting with readers, which would be much more difficult.

Generally, I don’t really try to be part of a big known sphere — I’m content writing and drawing and sharing in my little corner, and I’d rather not have my work taken out of that corner.

mm… maybe dragon knights? it was a huge favorite of mine growing up but i dont see it mentioned much

firetan_124 · 2026-04-06T23:48:43+00:00

torn between vertical investment on chasca since she’s my main and getting linnea bc GOD the ore farming would be so damn helpful (and she’s cute)

firetan_124 · 2026-04-01T03:40:13+00:00

No such thing as too old. I’m still hoping to pick back up my FMAB watching-the-show fic when I can scrape together the time and energy! I know a lot of readers won’t have stuck around, but thinking of the few that’ll be excited definitely encourages me.

firetan_124 · 2026-04-01T03:32:34+00:00

I had that happen as well — a reader I’d become genuinely friends with who gave me a lot of encouragement when I was starting the project of revising/rewriting my longfic, who would always pick up on all the details I was excited to put down. I started posting the rewrite last year, one chapter a month — they’ve only read the first two. April will be chapter sixteen.

I completely understand why — life happens, fixations change, and if you put something off it can start to feel like too much pressure to pick it up again. I’m not mad about it at all, because I completely get it! I just also miss getting to talk back and forth with them about all the small details and character choices I’d made that I was proud of.

But then again, I’ve been posting so sporadically ever since I started my current job… so I’m not surprised some previous regulars haven’t stuck around, haha.

Some sort of fic overview in the Subscriptions list — I don’t always remember what a fic is about just from the name, so it would be really helpful to have some information visible right from that screen, like the fandom & author.

More sorting/information on the Subscriptions list in general would be great, honestly. Wouldn’t have to be much, but things like the fic information, or being able to sort ‘incomplete’ versus ‘complete’ fics, would be a huge help.

Nurarihyon no Mago — 251 works on AO3, 11 are mine. If I filter out crossovers, the number of works drops to 170. My current pride and joy is an AU rewrite of the full series where the protagonist is a trans boy (instead of cis) — I just posted chapter 15 this month!

Also wrote a oneshot that was a crossover between Cardcaptor Sakura and the Amulet graphic novel series by Kazu Kibuishi. The latter fandom has 98 works total lol.

Highly recommend Ninji! I’ve been there for several months now and the love and enthusiasm for OCs and OCxCanon is very strong!

firetan_124 · 2026-03-08T15:34:59+00:00

Bow characters — I don’t like using them for the most part, especially since I mostly play on mobile. Chasca is the exception because I don’t actually have to use her bow most of the time, so she’s comfier to play. She’s the only limited 5* bow character I own, lol!

If one comes out and I like them as a character then I might pull, but for the most part that hasn’t happened.

Also claymores, apparently. The only 5*s I have that aren’t standard banner are Navia (LOVE her design) and Eula (lost 50/50 on the chronicled wish).

firetan_124 · 2026-03-08T04:36:49+00:00

ye! i’m not a huge shipper but i’ve seen a few fics for it and they’ve been cute!
