Can't brew for Bob under these conditions

Sep 09, 2011 20:28

Okay, so I got my Pottermore mail last night. I'm RainSilver82 in case someone wants to add me there. The important part about this thing is the wand and house, so let's go with that. My wand is cypress, 10 inches, phoenix feather core, slightly springy. Sounds neat. I got sorted to Honey Badger House! I like to think of myself as a Ravenpuff mix ( Read more... )

my pokemans, harry potter, pottermore, clamp, thundercats, doctor who, princess tutu

I still recommend City of Death from Classic Who. It's a lot of fun and has some of the best dialog ever. I think you would enjoy it. I don't remember if you saw that one or not.

I haven't seen any Classic Who at all. A friend of mine recs that particular serial all the time because she's a Four/Romana shipper, so at least I know it's an iconic story.

Princess tutu is great. I think it may be one of my favorite anime of all time.

The color artwork is really amazing, but I never found their art in their manga panels so spectacular. IDK, the details are great and all (I can't get over Touya's motorcycle in CCS), but the characters are so disproportionate and odd! And I don't only mean the noodle people in Tsubasa/XXXHOLiC. The wide shoulders + tiny waist in the male characters on old series can be jarring sometimes regardless of the hot faces that go with them.

I lurk that comm too! I just never find anything witty to say, so I've only participated twice. The 30 days meme is fun but I've been too lazy to post in that.

I normally find the secondary CLAMP ladies prettier than their female protagonists. Dunno, too shoujo cutesy to me or something. Unless they're older female protagonists like Yuuko, but they're rare and I'm still not ready to think about XXXHOLiC.

True, but I'm not familiar with the ONTD-family-comms' mindset and I'm always afraid of saying something wrong/dull. I get the feeling that the "bitch, xyz is flawless and you are stupid if you disagree" kind of comments are only cute/funny if you have friends there. I never know when they're kidding with that and when they're really judging you. Dunno, the usual posters' attitudes are just weird to me, like why do they like to pretend they're rude?

Delurks

You can still get points for practicing the potions and can't lose any that way. And man I hope they add the dueling back in cause potions is way to finicky for me.

Practice counts for points?! I didn't know that, thanks!

ETA: Um, I just practiced and it didn't give me any new point. Maybe it's just the first time or they changed it.

Yeah my friend was totally confused when she told me. I just futzed around with it for a while and couldn't figure it out. I did find that you get a point just for waving your wand on the potions, but then it shut down before I could retest it. >_>

TLDR; I fail.

ETA: Ok I figured out what it was. If you say you're going to brew a potion, you can just use your wand right away (skip any of the steps) and you get 1 point for just trying, but you lose the ingredients I think, so that's not all that helpful.

Ah, okay! Don't worry about it. Yeah, but since once I messed up so bad that I got 5 points off and I lost a cauldron, I honestly don't know if it's worth it to sink money for 1 point. We're like 2000 behind the third place, it's not like I'm helping at all with my failures.
