[OOC] Mid/High Casual - Divinus: The Deity Roleplay Mk.II

@BBeast
Thanks, but music doesn't really inspire my writing. I've tried it multiple times in the past and it just doesn't get me going really :/

@Muttonhawk
Funny you say that, cause I had one such list ready, a dozen or so bullet points. In the end, I scrapped everything cause that scenario didn't sit right with me. I am now half-way in the post, and I can feel the jankiness in my writing

[Antarctic Termite]

On an entirely unrelated note to any post I may or may not be writing, I've decided that Heartworm speaks Polish.

@Antarctic Termite

Witaj ciemności mój stary przyjacielu ...

_{ps: that came from google translate, i don't speak polish}

[Kho]

Had four assignments due in the last two weeks - three done, one left. I'm already late o-o
Once I've submitted it, I'll see to getting the finale to the current Yara arc up.

_{'cause y'all remember who Yara is, right? Right.}

50 years from now
kid: Grandpa, can you tell me about 2016?

kid: Well, what about 2017?
me: wE DoN'T TaLk aBoUt tHaT YeAr eItHeR
kid: b-but I want to know!!
me: YOU WANT TO KNOW? OKAY THEN *slams down shot glass* IT ALL STARTED WITH A FUCKING GORILLA...

[Muttonhawk]

>tfw you reread your latest post and see large swathes that could have been rewritten and larger swathes that could have been cut altogether, not to mention the overall cringe...

I solemnly swear to leave my proofreading to points of relative lucidity. I will start with the next post. Sorry for the poor quality, my friends -_-.

So, since I had too much times on my hands, I kinda wanted to.. well i dont know I just wanted to be stupefied or think about some things but not complicated shit that would make me make circles in my mind.

So I found this website but in the end it didn't achieve what I wanted. Kinda wanted to share it to see if some other people would be more affected than me.
I mean when reading these questions I was very clear in my heart while being objective on the kind of person I am. So I did not even have to think much.

Here are the questions

Which is worse, failing or never trying?

If life is so short, why do we do so many things we don’t like and like so many things we don’t do?

When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done
Are you doing what you believe in, or are you settling for what you are doing?

If the average human life span was 40 years, how would you live your life differently?

To what degree have you actually controlled the course your life has taken?

Are you more worried about doing things right, or doing the right things?

You’re having lunch with three people you respect and admire. They all start criticizing a close friend of yours, not knowing she is your friend. The criticism is distasteful and unjustified. What do you do?

If you could offer a newborn child only one piece of advice, what would it be?

Would you break the law to save a loved one?

Have you ever seen insanity where you later saw creativity?

What’s something you know you do differently than most people?

How come the things that make you happy don’t make everyone happy?

What one thing have you not done that you really want to do? What's holding you back ?
Are you holding onto something you need to let go of?

If you had to move to a state or country besides the one you currently live in, where would you move and why?

Do you push the elevator button more than once? Do you really believe it makes the elevator faster?

Would you rather be a worried genius or a joyful simpleton?

Why are you, you?

Have you been the kind of friend you want as a friend?

Which is worse, when a good friend moves away, or losing touch with a good friend who lives right near you?

What are you most grateful for?

Would you rather lose all of your old memories, or never be able to make new ones?

Is is possible to know the truth without challenging it first?

Has your greatest fear ever come true?

Do you remember that time 5 years ago when you were extremely upset? Does it really matter now?

What is your happiest childhood memory? What makes it so special?

At what time in your recent past have you felt most passionate and alive?

If not now, then when?

If you haven’t achieved it yet, what do you have to lose?

Have you ever been with someone, said nothing, and walked away feeling like you just had the best conversation ever?

Why do religions that support love cause so many wars?

Is it possible to know, without a doubt, what is good and what is evil?

If you just won a million dollars, would you quit your job?

Would you rather have less work to do, or more work you actually enjoy doing?

Do you feel like you’ve lived this day a hundred times before?

When was the last time you marched into the dark with only the soft glow of an idea you strongly believed in?

If you knew that everyone you know was going to die tomorrow, who would you visit today?

Would you be willing to reduce your life expectancy by 10 years to become extremely attractive or famous?

What is the difference between being alive and truly living?

When is it time to stop calculating risk and rewards, and just go ahead and do what you know is right?

If we learn from our mistakes, why are we always so afraid to make a mistake?

What would you do differently if you knew nobody would judge you?

When was the last time you noticed the sound of your own breathing?

What do you love? Have any of your recent actions openly expressed this love?

In 5 years from now, will you remember what you did yesterday? What about the day before that? Or the day before that?

Decisions are being made right now. The question is: Are you making them for yourself, or are you letting others make them for you?

[Muttonhawk]

@Vec I wasn't too affected either, though I can see how it could be healthily challenging to people who have trouble reflecting upon themselves. That could be for any number of reasons; stress and anxiety, trauma, intense lifestyles, etc.

It could be an interesting twist to write down answers, save them somewhere, then come back to the questions in a year's time to see what might have changed. Could be a good measure of life trajectory that makes you alter your course a little.

[Muttonhawk]

Right.

I promise to drop this now, but I'll just mention that I did another draft of my previous post and edited it in. The main points are not especially altered but the characters' actions are a bit more in line now.

Now I can actually move on.

*shudder*

[Kho]

If you could offer a newborn child only one piece of advice, what would it be?

I wouldn't. Damn ungrateful little bugger, wouldn't even understand what I'm saying.

[Slime]

*Turn on lights*

Hello? Does anybody still even work here?

[Slime]

Server malfunctioned and posted the same thing twice. Since I don't know how to delete posts I'll just turn this one into something productive.

Can anyone give me some info about the Hilt? I read that it has some waterfalls, the sword itself seems to be hollow at the handle as described in its creation post and Hain live in the edges of the valley. Is there anything else to it?

[Muttonhawk]

*Throws up hands. Hisses and flails at lights*

I'm about halfway through my next post. I've been a wee bit busy.

[Vec]

has anyone been having problems connecting to the site? i constantly get cloudflare errors, this being one of the rare times i actually connect...

[Kho]

Yeah, been struggling to connect too.
In other news, submitted my essay yesterday, meaning I can finally get to completing some storylines.

As I am not yet up to date on the IC (I'm on, like, page 17...even though I have posts on later pages. Awful, I know).
As most of my storylines have just reached the Realta invasion, I should be reading everything to do with that. So I'm stuck between writing blindly to get a post out soon, or reading and not getting a post out anytime soon ._.

@Kho Kho fell victim to the double post as well. D:

[BBeast]

@Slime, the physical description of the Hilt would be found in its creation post and sheet (if any). The main detail which you didn't mention is that the Hilt is currently the home base of the Knight Protectors, currently comprised of a bunch of metal djinn which look a lot like Conata with their metal elemental leader Aeramen.

As for activity, I have another Prometheans post almost done, although I'd rather wait for someone else to post first so I don't end up triple-posting in the IC.

[Muttonhawk]

I, too, have had trouble connecting. It's been going on for almost a week now. Hopefully it sorts itself out before long.

As for the Hilt. You might gain some details from the Conata post a while back where they went through. I basically imagine it as a crater with a bunch of forests and streams going through, with of course the big tower in the centre and the metal djinn guarding the place.

Thankfully, since Conata sorted them out, they're not overtly hostile and quite Lawful Good now.

[Slime]

@BBeast@Muttonhawk Oh yeah, I forgot that happened at the Hilt. Hel & Co might visit the place before going to Alefpria, better read that post again just to be safe.

Is Aeramen controlled by anyone?
