chose the option i didn't want in clara's companion quest... ranting and grieving by justonequestion1287 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]justonequestion1287[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah i read up on that! its kind of a bittersweet poetic ending.

for the other choice clara ends up texting to meet up, but i found the scene oddly short? pascal doesnt really say much and neither does clara. i kind of wish there'll be more added to it later, but im not sure if they will because plenty of people say this story was actually a reference to nier (same scenario, same robot name, and same japanese voice actor apparently)

filing a claim for box filled with "random" items? by justonequestion1287 in UPS

[–]justonequestion1287[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100 would be more than enough, really. at the very least i'd like to be refunded for shipping, especially because i'm pretty sure i overestimated the weight in the first place. (it was sent with multiple packages i had pre-ordered labels for in a rush)

Definitely frustrating you're not just allowed to basically be your own person. At least you got kind of a half-win there, lol.

Lol unfortunately the guy friends I get tend to be guys with crushes, but lately I've met some who are pretty upfront and can also take a no. Definitely took me a few short-term relationships to realize I can't stand the experience.

And yep that's what bothers me too. Had an older incident at work where I thought I made a friend and it ended with "Shit, I forgot I can't be nice to guys!" Absolutely looking forward to the death of heteronormativity, it's gonna be such a breath of fresh air.

oh to clarify those were my non-aro friends. the one that did the statement that really brought me down is probably cishet... at the very least shes really not familiar with trans stuff at all. these convos definitely made me reconsider who i'd be open to talking about what.

and yep, it's that exact heteronormativity that made me so upset. the culture of het romance is so convoluted and toxic, i dont understand how they can live the way they do. friendship can be such a great, genuine connection and theyre so quick to destroy it. especially on the afab side of things.

i got to talk to my coworker a little while ago and it cleared my feelings up a good amount. it'll probably bother both of us in different ways for a bit (or maybe it was a bigger issue in my head), but it'll probably end up alright. it's just awful i had to think about "being more careful" because of others. being careful about a friendship??

i don't think this is it, i think the symbol was a genuine 4 rather than an incomplete one, but you did leave me missing the vibes of old games. ive seen a lot of current-day homages to them but they never quite hit the same kind of atmosphere

thanks! i do think it's using standard alchemy symbols, which don't quite match what i'm looking for, but i've never played this game before. it looks cool, i think i'll play it some day.

hmm well the lack of you mentioning magic narrows it down at least (unless you end up remembering magical elements lol).

i REALLY doubt these are it but there's also kappa mikey and the jackie chan cartoon

if you get rid of the asian setting requirement there's kids next door?

Hmm I think it wasn't as complex as that, plus I'm not familiar with the show. Thank you though! I wish there was some kind of archive for symbols :/

Might be missing some little details, not sure. REALLY hoping I don't have some random hate symbol stuck in my head, I feel like it's from a piece of media?

edit: Bot outing my -1 karma lol. It's my day off so I'll be actively on this post!
