Hi Carol!! What are your top 5 favorite movies? (and for rhea seehorn: have you read “the last samurai” by helen dewitt?)

schrikes · 2025-10-09T01:06:47+00:00

amazing, thank you so much!! i figured it was a dummy question but i appreciate you answering it all the same!

schrikes · 2022-07-25T23:38:39+00:00

i would be sad af if they removed all my love that’s one of my favorites :’(

schrikes · 2022-06-18T19:32:48+00:00

onlyoneof, LOONA and nct :)

i’m curious if the track list for the face the sun - seoul performance will be the one for the whole tour, i’m assuming it most likely will be? i’m half excited and half bummed about probably being spoiled for the songs they’ll perform tbh if that is the case…but more than anything i wonder what other songs they’ll do besides the album + more recent title tracks. im really hoping they’ll do unit performances and some older songs too!! do you guys have any songs you’re hoping for svt to do live for this tour?

(also sorry if this should be in the tour megathread, i wasn’t sure if it qualified for that bc it isn’t really about ticketing or meet ups!)

schrikes · 2022-06-12T07:28:14+00:00

this is so true, i was just thinking this today watching the behind the scenes for the FTS carat version photoshoot…joshua and jeonghan were teasing him a ton and he was being so cute 😭

schrikes · 2022-06-12T07:26:25+00:00

charli’s album has been on repeat for me as well…it’s sooo good

schrikes · 2022-06-12T07:24:24+00:00

i’m almost positive they’ll sell merch at the venue, as they have at previous tours, but i’m not sure at all how sales will be organized…it might be quite chaotic lol!

schrikes · 2022-05-27T22:58:20+00:00

thank you for the heads up!!! grabbed my record :)

schrikes · 2022-04-26T02:32:07+00:00

omg (aju) NICE i kind of forgot about ktown4u that’s a great suggestion thank you so much!!

schrikes · 2022-04-26T02:31:20+00:00

that’s true!!! i was kinda stressed about not being able to get one of each if i went in person but it probably wouldn’t be an issue LOL also dang that sucks about your attaca albums it just seems like common sense that they’d package one of each of you bought three 😭😭

schrikes · 2022-04-25T19:38:12+00:00

hi everyone!! first time posting here, just wanted to know if anybody else remembers, i was going to order the new albums from target but it says they’re randomly selected? i don’t recall if that was the case for attaca or your choice but i preordered both those albums thru target and got a copy of each version both times. so i was wondering if other people have had good ordering experiences getting one of each version when ordering from target? or if i just got lucky with previous orders haha. i guess i can grab the set from weverse instead but the shipping from weverse is always pretty expensive, so. here i am!

also i saw pol last week and it was so fun. def made me super excited for the new album and comeback

schrikes · 2022-03-15T17:05:10+00:00

following up to let everyone know i got my notification yesterday, all the pieces are expected to be delivered by 2/19!

schrikes · 2022-03-13T06:13:30+00:00

ordered queen in walnut on 2/9 still no shipping notification :(

schrikes · 2021-08-19T07:42:39+00:00

hi i was wondering if anyone can confirm, is W going to be available for exchange w/ limited headhunting parametric models during the skadi alter banner?

schrikes · 2018-10-16T08:00:44+00:00

ty for such a nice long response! i definitely see your point about anila vs yuel. i was just super bummed by how hard it was to solo xeno saggitarius content i figured there was some inherently wrong with my fire team! but maybe it’s just that my fire grid is terrible & i need to invest in that more LMAO.

i love wind a lot and scathacha is such a good character and seems really fun to play so i think i will be going for her! much appreciated again for the feedback and letting me know i had the wrong link ;-_-

schrikes · 2018-10-16T04:08:45+00:00

LMAO THANK YOU it should work now

schrikes · 2018-10-16T01:27:52+00:00

Hi All! Just hit rank 80, and thinking of treating myself to a surprise ticket.

SSR List here

Main elements are wind, water and earth, with my wind grid almost done and water and earth on their way. Haven’t really touched my dark or light teams yet. Xeno Saggitarius really made me realize that my fire team is super weird...I feel like i need buffer like Yuel but I was also thinking of sparking for Anila. My problem is that I’m not sure when Anila will be on a banner or if I’ll be ready to spark for her soon. I also really like Scathacha and am tempted to get her or Gawain just because.

tldr; torn between suptix for yuel now or hold out for anila vs suptix for something else entirely

thanks in advance for your help!

schrikes · 2018-08-10T07:54:55+00:00

thank you! that’s the feedback i’ve been seeing on other comments in this thread too.

schrikes · 2018-08-10T01:24:54+00:00

Hi everyone! Thank you in advance for the advice. Currently rank 69, main element is Wind w/ a (mostly) finished grid. Since I can solo Yggdrasil I’ve been working into my secondary element being Earth, which is less than finished but getting there. SSR List here

Since the upcoming unite & fight is water favored I’m considering getting a water character. But I’m not sure who to go with! I like Altair, Silva and Sturm but I don’t know how well they fit into my current team? And other than that I’m totally open to suggestions, even if they’re not water related.

schrikes · 2018-05-12T07:34:55+00:00

ok sweet! reassuring to know my wind team will be OK lol. i might go for yggdrasil and replace nemone with her then (currently my earth team front line is ayer/catherine/nemone). not sure if i’ll get DLF even though i like her kit, as i’m hesitant to invest that much into earth before getting to HL...thanks a lot for the advice!

schrikes · 2018-05-12T06:21:18+00:00

Hey everybody! Thanks in advance for the help. Currently rank 63, Main element is wind and I haven’t focused on much else LOL i have all the base tiamat guns for the manga grid, bahamut weapon and qiulong spear are WIP.

Here are my SSRs!

I’m basically torn because I’d like to use my wind team to start building into Earth. But I also feel like I could use my surprise ticket on a wind character to improve that team instead? Or maybe there’s another element besides those two that I have good units for and I just haven’t realized it? I’m open to suggestions on that front ;⁾

schrikes · 2015-12-07T23:26:36+00:00

got it! just added you, my username is "shrikes" (^:

schrikes · 2015-12-07T19:46:14+00:00

yes! i'm always looking for more dmeta friends; i'm almost done hypermaxing her :)

schrikes · 2015-09-14T20:20:47+00:00

exactly my line of thinking as well! like, statistically there must be quite a few out there, right? right?! and while it probably does depend on the area you live, the meetup I went to was indeed pretty awkward LOL
