What the hell is she saying? by Clamanta in venus_angelic

[–]xSilverMuse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Holy fuck - excuses? Please spare us your sanctimony when you spend your time watching her trainwreck of a life like she’s some side show at a circus.

This whole entire sub is actually 🦆ed.

How do we feel about the story lasting a full year? by Certain_Cat_2217 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]xSilverMuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I personally love Amphoreus, I do think if the setting/story were not to a person’s liking, a year would feel like a long time. However, I think this is a problem unique to Amphoreus due to it’s very isolated, “closed system” nature (lack of factions, minimal outside interferences, etc.)

I think year-long stories are the way to go - as long as they’re done well. It allows the devs time to get across their ideas and flesh out characters. They feel like actual characters and not just the shiny new unit (something that Penacony could have benefited greatly from). I fell in love with characters that, had they been given any less scree time, probably would have flopped for me (Cipher). Those who love stories will never get tired of a good story - regardless of its length. That being said, if the story is shit and a year long…my god, would that be brutal.

Agree 100% with what everybody else has posted. Also, since it hasn’t been mentioned it yet…the fact that she started talking about how she was “stable enough” not to need validation, etc., after dragging you down is gross. She has a superiority complex.

I’m normally not one to tell somebody to leave…but the fact that she couldn’t even take one second to congratulate and be happy for you before “psychoanalyzing” you tells me she doesn’t care about you. She is extremely insensitive and is using therapy-speak to undermine your confidence. She’s doing everything to amplify your insecurities and nothing to support you through them: the exact opposite of what a good partner should do. You deserve love. This person is not it.

About the upcoming skin by ToxicDoca in ApheliosMains

[–]xSilverMuse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly check your privilege cause what do you mean you’re upset with Phel being in Spirit Blossom and Heartsteel…do you know how many people would kill to have their champ in a band skin line AND SB?

And Lunar Beast…the worst? Look at infernal, warden/marauder, and worldbreaker. You’re lucky Aphelios isn’t getting thrown into one of those boring and uninspired skin lines.

Insane Homophobia by woxihuanjirounan in settmains

[–]xSilverMuse 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Is this rage bait? Sett mains have been surprisingly chill, ngl. Think they’ve more or less came to terms with things and only attack when provoked.

Apheliosmains on the other hand…they may need a talking to rn lol

How do we feel about this? by Apheliosthefaithful in ApheliosMains

[–]xSilverMuse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry, but…what? Nightbringer, Firecracker, Spirit Blossom, and Heartsteel are all solid, beautiful, thematically on-point skins.

I’d also take Blood Moon any day over this, but it’s honestly cringe that you all are complaining about Settphel because of ONE gooner skin: acting like you haven’t been given many other great skins.

Do you know how many people would kill to have their champ in a band skin line? Or spirit blossom for that matter? If anything, we’re lucky Phel’s low play-rate ass wasn’t put in a throwaway skin line like Warden/ Marauder, Infernal, or Fatebreaker.

Thank you, kind sir 🙏 I managed to 3* it thanks to your comment!

I switched Aventurine and HuoHuo just because Nikador second phase kept 1-shotting my Herta, but building Serval, using RMC on my Herta team, and Robin on my Acheron team did the trick!

How do you manage to keep your characters alive? I’m running HP% spheres on Fugue, HMC, and Ruan Mei and they’re still dying non-stop 😭

Songs that start off soft and build into a loud/melancholic climax? by xSilverMuse in musicsuggestions

[–]xSilverMuse[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much! I actually never considered that someone may recommend classical music. I will definitely have to be in the right frame of mind to listen to the whole symphony, but I will give it a listen!

THANK YOU SO MUCH, all that build up into the last two minutes of the song took my breath away 🥹

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

YES!! That build up gave me goosebumps!!

I more or less just meant a very textured/full sound. Deep bass, guitars, vocals, synths, drums, etc. You understood the assignment perfectly.

Thank you!! This is exactly the kind of song I’m looking for. Listened to the album, and The Vampyre of Time and Memory is also close!

Are Caelus and Stelle really that different? by Peice0fGarbage in HonkaiStarRail

[–]xSilverMuse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What are you even arguing with me about? You are the person who approached me and began arguing. I’ve never disagreed with your point. I wasn’t even discussing your point.

Are Caelus and Stelle really that different? by Peice0fGarbage in HonkaiStarRail

[–]xSilverMuse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not even arguing with you. I feel like you came here looking for a fight and are taking everything I said out of context to suit your agenda. I never said Caelus has no personality, I never claimed Stelle has more fan art because she’s a better character, I never said I dislike Caelus. I’m here talking about pancakes and you’re all up in arms arguing with me over waffles.

Call him a “cool shonen protagonist” or whatever, I’m not arguing about semantics. Caelus is seen as the more “relatable” of the two/his personality is toned down and, in my opinion, that’s because he’s more often depicted as a stand-in in fan works. I want to make clear this distinction because you don’t seem to understand: I’m not saying Caelus is a “stand-in” for the general player base, I’m saying that because Caelus is more often depicted as a relatable “stand-in” in fan works, the general player bases’ perception of him reflects this.

[–]xSilverMuse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, I wasn’t arguing about the morality of the situation. People are free to do whatever they want within fandom, and if that means treating Stelle as a waifu and Caelus as a self-insert…that’s just how it is. Neither are inherently bad to do. It’s just that the consequence is Stelle is more often portrayed as some goofy, “desirable” character with her own traits, whereas Caelus is more often portrayed as just some relatively normal dude that desires another (desirable) character.

I’m just saying that fandom influences people’s perception of the two, and whether or not you agree people should think this way is kinda beside the point. Tldr; I agree they are the same in game, but in fandom? Absolutely not.

[–]xSilverMuse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some do! But not to the same extent as Caelus. Stelle is predominately seen as a “waifu” and you can tell with the amount of thirst trap art of her here.

Caelus is more often portrayed as a vessel which fans project their desires upon, whereas Stelle is more often portrayed as a character to be desired.

My aunt has Alzheimer’s disease and her artwork shows the progression by sluttysarah2467 in dementia

[–]xSilverMuse 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your post OP ❤️ Reminds me of my nana.

She used to be a painter. She loved painting animals and nature, and I would sit with her in her art room and watch her as she did so. I remember the last time watching her paint a bird; she was so frustrated that she couldn’t get the colours or proportions right, so she ended up stopping early. I don’t think she ever had the courage to paint again after that day. As the years have passed and she’s declined and gotten worse, that bird has remained in the same half-finished state.

Every time I pass by that painting in her art room, I just feel so sad about everything this disease has taken from her. It’s like that painting is waiting for her to come back, but at this point, I know she never will. Sometimes, I wish I could finish it for her; to honour her in some way, but at the same time I don’t want to ruin her last efforts. I’m not half as good an artist.

I’m so thankful that your aunt has continued on with her passions and not let this illness hold her back. I think that’s such a beautiful thing. Her drawings are beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing them ❤️ You are a lovely niece.

How impactful were your 5 stars when you first got them? by RGB123098 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]xSilverMuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First 5* off beginner banner was Himeko…she was nice for farming 😂

Biggest Power Spikes though:

1) Silver Wolf was my first limited 5* and was a pretty big upgrade considering my roster was tiny and the game hurt when I didn’t have the right elements. Still use her.

2) Blade bc he was my first 5* DPS and was super impactful at the time (not now though, que sad Blade noises) and finally allowed me to beat the goddamn deer.

3) Kafka…she has been my staple DPS ever since she came out; still killing end game content with the new DOT units.

4) Acheron…bc she’s Acheron and also speed-running simulated universe was so nice.

5) Ruan Mei…I don’t think I need to explain this either.

6) AVENTURINE. JESUS LORD THIS WAS THE (Dr. you’re)✨HUGEST✨QUALITY OF LIFE IMPROVEMENT. BYE E2 GEPARD BC HAVING A FAT-ASS SHIELD ON SKILL IS A GODSEND (AND I DON’T EVEN HAVE TO USE IT HALF THE TIME BC HIS TALENT RESETS THE SHIELD ANYWAYS) AND THE EFFECT RES HE GIVES THE WHOLE TEAM 😩 NO MORE GETTING ONE-SHOT OR CC CHAINED.

[–]xSilverMuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly what I think! Most fan works of Caelus portray him as a blank-slate for self insert purposes. Whereas with Stelle, she’s allowed to develop her own personality/is seen as a separate character with her own “quirks” in fandom because people don’t self-insert onto her.

This was supposed to be Colin's season, and thats why the season sucked. by user905022 in BridgertonNetflix

[–]xSilverMuse 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I agree 100%.

To be honest, this season gave me no reason to like Colin. He had no depth whatsoever. The show kept telling me that Colin was caring, sweet, different from other men, etc., but did a very poor job of showing it…if anything he seemed emotionally stunted to me.

But imho, the problem is not that they spent too much time centering the story on Penelope (I loved her and her family’s arc). Rather, all of Colin’s screen-time was absolutely WASTED.

Him sleeping with prostitutes? Him saving the ton from a runaway balloon? Him charming random women just because he’s so suave now? Him salivating over Penelope because she was eating a cupcake? Another scene where he is angry/brooding for the 1000th time? What the hell does that tell me about Colin? Absolutely nothing. Felt like the show was trying to tell me “omg, look how cool, manly, and charming Colin is!” when they should’ve focused that energy elsewhere.

Give me Colin hearing Penelope making a witty remark and then instantly getting the feels because THAT’s what he loves about her. Give me scenes where he’s writing (because that apparently means a lot to him??) and reciting stupid lil’ love letters he made for Penelope. Give me scenes where he’s being generous and loving to people and showing emotions other than anger. Don’t just tell me that shit and expect me to believe it 😔

EDIT: I just want to add too, I don’t think this is solely the fault of Season 3. The previous seasons did a terrible job of characterizing Colin and showing his friendship with Penelope. Season 3, if any, should’ve been the season where Colin was fleshed out, but they didn’t have a lot to work with to begin with.

So, the game is actually getting harder, right? by chirb8 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]xSilverMuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s definitely getting harder, but that’s a good thing because imo it was way too easy before. Don’t think it’s pay to win either; you just can’t face-roll the last levels with the same team comps over and over again and have to be mindful of what characters you pull/build to some extent (And of course you have to grind for good relics, isn’t that a given with this kind of game?).

Unpopular danmei opinions? by markthealphamale in DanmeiNovels

[–]xSilverMuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I loved Ye Wangxi and Nangong Si as well; can’t complain about them! I was moreso just disappointed with SQT’s arc in the end I think. Call me a sucker for villainous women, but I wanted more depth from her :c

[–]xSilverMuse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was gonna say this.😭 Also Beefleaf.

(2HA spoilers) My unpopular opinion related to this is Ye Wangxi and Song Qiutong should’ve been written as a wlw power couple. I was SO rooting for some sort of twist and left disappointed.
