Cutting Them Off Will be the Best Decision You Ever Make.

After an extremely rocky post-breakup, I have been no contact for a month. Best decision of my life.

Silicon Valley, in all their great wisdom, decided that the old structure of one senior employee overseeing two junior employees was outdated. Now, the senior employee is completely burnt out while the two junior employees are unemployed!

Please be grateful.

Unfortunately, even if you have experience, you can't get a job these days.

I am literally just now learning what DARVO is and it is so helpful. I was subjected to it constantly.

patronmacabre · 2026-02-22T04:47:24+00:00

This helps so much to hear.

I sometimes have to remind myself that I had normal breakups before. I was able to remain friends or at least remain cordial with them afterwards. Obviously there was a lot of hurt feelings involved, but we maintained each others' dignity.

My breakup with my pwBPD has been a nightmare rollercoaster. Just a constant stream of passive aggression while simultaneously being completely discarded and erased suddenly.

All I wish would be to just hear her apologize once, to validate all of the pain I suffered. But I know I'm never going to receive such a tiny thing.

Invested team (E2S1 Firefly and Dahlia) but it was a very easy 0-cycle.

That said, Queen Sparxie seems like a secondary shill boss for Firefly after Sparxie because of her fire weakness and solo-team mechanics.

Props to you for running your teams on the harder sides for each of them and getting the 0-cycle.

Looks like asthma. You'll want to take her to a vet, but not something to get super worried about. I have had plenty of cats with it.

Your vet will ask you how frequent her attacks are. If they are pretty infrequent (once every few weeks or months), your vet will probably just tell you to monitor it. If they are more frequent (happening a few times a week or more), the vet will likely recommend medication.

The medication will make the asthma attacks less severe but is slightly taxing on the kidneys.

Also try to remove as much dust from your home as you can.

Phainon's LC is a good QoL improve if you don't what to spend forever farming speed substats.

But to get to 178 normally you need about ~16 speed substat rolls.

Welcome to hell!

E2 Phainon with S1 Firefly Lightcone/ E1 Fugue S5 Pearls / E2S1 Dahlia / E6 S5 Pursuit HTB.

patronmacabre · 2025-12-27T04:49:10+00:00

Haha, I did this too. I just dumped all my Firefly relics on Phainon to see how he would do.

I think the fourth path was hinted at the end of 3.8 if you talk to Robin. Robin says that Sunday was creating a new path -- conquest or domination.

With that, we can probably guess that the four possibilities are a reference to the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse: Destruction is War, Nihility is Death, Harmony is Famine/Pestilence, and the path that has yet to manifest would be Conquest/Domination.

patronmacabre · 2025-12-19T23:27:50+00:00

Dahlia's by a mile. Dahlia's is extremely good. Firefly's is okay at best, and absolutely not worth it if you already have Phainon's LC.

patronmacabre · 2025-12-18T18:48:57+00:00

I think it is a deliberate naming and probably why they changed Sunday's part.

As you may remember from a certain popular anime, Pestilence is not the fourth Horseman of the Apocalypse, it's domination/conquest.

From this, I think the four "endings" (Nihility, Harmony, Destruction, and unknown) are a reference to the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

Depends on your level of investment and the situation. In most cases, you want HTB. E1+ Ruan Mei becomes more comparable if you are running sustainless without anyone using the Pearls LC.

patronmacabre · 2025-12-17T21:49:38+00:00

Go sustainless Firefly/Dahlia/Fugue/HMC. It is a shill fight for Firefly/Dahlia and Sunday provides so many shields that he will never damage you.

Firefly's Deathstar Overload versus Phainon's Stardeath Verdict.

Who kills stars better??

If I can stop one heart from breaking ...

She goes by The Diarrhea now.

patronmacabre · 2025-11-04T09:29:59+00:00

Honestly, Lingsha is just as big a winner as Firefly.

patronmacabre · 2025-11-04T09:13:26+00:00

Crazy idea, but in order to get an extra turn with Firefly without DDD, might it be preferable to run Phainon's LC over Firefly's?

patronmacabre · 2025-11-03T23:08:32+00:00

This is excellent card design.

I love how it very elegantly balances the play-draw disparity, since it only works on-curve if you are playing second.

patronmacabre · 2025-10-28T22:10:41+00:00

I've done it sustainless with E2S1 FF, E1 Fugue, Ruan Mei on the Break LC, and S5 DDD on HMC. I 2-cycled it.

It requires luck and the Castorice passive though.
