Wherein I RAAAAAAAAAAAGE

FFRPG players, listen up because I'm only going to say this once:

Paladin =/= Healplz

Yes, yes, I know, Healing Wind is T: Party healing, BUT it's not meant to be a constant source of healing unless you have no other choice. Plus, when some members have 400 - 500 Hit Points and are getting sent into SoS, healing for 130 is only going to be a temp solution.

Furthermore, when playing a Chemist and facing enemies that are Undead and likely Auto-Zombie, the first thing you do is lob a tonic or a potion at them to see if it hurts them. If it does, you repeat the process with Hi-Potions or Hyper Potions until the things are dead. You don't spend the battle showing off your uber skills with your twinked out MAG while your party members go in and out of SoS when you finally figure, "Hey, I better do some healing."

The ONLY excuse for you not testing a healing item on the enemy within the first two rounds would be that you HAD NONE.

If you want to be a damage whore, take a Warrior job or a Mage job that's designed with damage in mind. Do not take a job expressly designed for support just because they get one awesome ability at level 34 and is the only ability that's not support oriented that they get. If you don't want the responsibility of healplz, don't fucking take the job.

Fuck you very much,

Jade

As a note...

I actually used my writing journal, jade_inspired. Yes, it's shocking.

Title: Prologue
Rating/Warning: R (Violence and naughty language.)
Word Count: I never know.
Author's Notes: This is a prologue I stumbled upon today when the idea for writing a novel based on my rp character Selene started bouncing around in my head again. (I blame reading Steven Brust for the inspiration.) I'd forgotten that I wrote this months ago, and surprisingly I actually liked it on my re-read. It's not great, but I captured Selene's 'voice' perfectly and I can easily see myself going places with this. Hey, I've got to start somewhere, right?

You can read it here. It's really short and probably sucks, but I'm writing again. The post is public, but please regard the warnings of violence and language.

A Quote Before Bed

SMeyer takes every golden rule of grammar, imagery usage, character development and plot and mangles it with the sensitivity of a blind hippopotamus trying to find a rat's clitoris. - Taken from here.

For real lulz, read about Twihards' reactions to Stephen King's assertion that SMeyer can't write. According to them, King is just jealous of Meyer. Stephen King is jealous of Stephenie Meyer. Stepen "Shawshank Redemption/Carrie/The Stand/Dark Tower/Misery" King. Jealous. Of Stephenie Meyer.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.
