Clint: So... how it is to be the only straight person in this team, Stark?

Tony: *Calmy sipping his coffee* I haven't been straight one day in my life, Barton, so I wouldn't know the answer for that.

Crack sounds

Tony: *Turns around* What the fu-

Steve: *Totally blushed while holding a piece of table on his right hand* I'm sorry....

Bucky: *Staring at Tony while totally ignoring his own piece of table being held by his metal arm* So, are you free tonight, dollface?

Clint: *Shocked* YOU BROKE THE TABLE!

Tony: *Satisfied smirk* I might be free tonight if someone helps me finish the last armor prototype I'm working on before 6 o'clock.

Bucky and Steve: *Start running towards the lab*

Clint: They broke the breakfast table....

Tony: *Pats the archer's shoulders* I'll make them fix it later today, birdbrain. Now, if you excuse me, I have to go and make sure they're not breaking my work tables.

in-universe explanation under the cut 😘

Lloyd:

- On the news CONSTANTLY

- Whenever the ninja are talked about, it's Lloyd's picture thrown up there

- He does all of the official public speaking for the team, so of course

- He's notoriously the sweetest to his fans

- Compilations of him being the nicest person ever are all over YouTube

- He doesn't ever post anything on Instagram, but he has the most followers anyway

- Isn't and doesn't want to be verified on TikTok, he's just a scroller, but trying to find his account has become a huge internet conspiracy

Kai:

- Posts on TikTok & Chirp DAILY, he has huge followings everywhere

- Everything from charities to his work out routines to Q&As to thirst traps

- Even has some vulnerable inspirational videos that are like "keep going. you'll be okay, i believe in you" that are honestly tear-jerkers

- Interacts with fans the most

- If anyone is curious about what the ninja have been up to, Kai's pages are the place to go

- Also attends the most events bc he's an attention whore

- But has also raised the most money and attention for said charities as a result

Jay:

- He doesn't host Ultimate Ninja Warrior anymore, but it kept going with his permission and a contract, he visits as a special host during the finals every year

- He's also on the logo of the show lol

- Occasionally posts stuff on Chirp when it means a lot to him

- He's bad at ignoring haters tho so not online as much as Kai

- At the same time, he gets really emotional when fans tell him how he's inspired them

- He's the funniest at interviews and really likes doing them with the other ninja

- His compilations are either "the blue ninja being HILARIOUS" or "the blue ninja secretly being a genius for 10 minutes"

Nya:

- She's only on social media to bother Kai during his livestreams and talk shit on his posts. also gives Jay's haters nasty comments

- But she does have a few workout tip videos to empower girls who look up to her

- Everyone has a crush on her

- Does volunteer work for publicity to the organization

- She's lowkey aggressive on her social media though, like, half of her posts are going after terfs and nazis to get them canceled

- The ninja's social team has a heart attack every time they hear that she posted something lmao

Zane

- The most Memed Ninja, like it's ridiculous

- He's every reaction image

- You know how supernatural has a gif for everything? There's a Zane gif for everything thanks to his interviews, media, fan events, etc

- His fan base is AGGRESSIVE for some reason, though

- His fan base is the K-Pop fans of the ninjago world, even though there's not as many of them.

- Maybe that IS why though. The few. The strong. They're the ones who, like, solve crimes through the internet and shit

- There are compilations of "every time the white ninja remembers he's a robot" that's just Zane, like, being shook when fridge magnets stick to him and when metal detectors go off around him

Cole:

- He has zero internet presence

- A whole ass mystery

- There are conspiracy theories that he's not even real and its a running gag

- There are accounts dedicated to posting blurry pictures of him like he's a cryptid

- They were clear pictures before, but they were edited to be blurry lmao cause it's a joke but some people have genuinely began to wonder

- Like some of them will literally be a blurred picture of him sitting with everyone else at an interview

- Cole isn't in on the joke though and is confused every time people meme at him (he's not an internet kid TuT)

#rip my boy cole I'm sorry bby your still the fav in my heart #zane is bad at posing #lloyd can't he a smol boi 😭😭😭 #this was a fun project lol #not me trying to render oml don't look actually #art #ninjago #ninjago art #lego ninjago art #lego ninjago #my art #lloyd garmadon #kai jiang #kai smith #jay walker #nya jiang #nya smith #zane julien #cole brookstone #lloyd montgomery garmadon #fruit ninja #ninjago headcanons #its funny bc lloyd is the most famous but also has tony hawk syndrome #so as long as he not wearing green in public no one can recognize him 😭😭 #ninjago lloyd #ninjago kai #ninjago nya #ninjago zane #ninjago jay #ninjago cole

Finally doodled HL Mod Stanley <3 (Patreon)

#Doodles #The Stanley Parable #TSP #Because HD Remix Stanley and Ultra Deluxe Stanley have basically the same character model I've never felt the need to differentiate them #I'll joke sometimes about Stanley's soul patch but other than that lol ♪ #But the HL Mod uses a different character model in the intro! Different clothes different hairline different skin tone! #So I went and looked around at what character model he might be - there are about ten male Citizen models in HL2 so there's some options #I was convinced he was either 07 or 09 and smol helped me settle on 07 - I was content to just leave it at that but then #I decided that since it's a mod I can just go dig through the backend files and get some actual confirmation #And I only found files related to mCitizens 05 and 06?? Which was definitely not the skin tones or textures as seen in game #So I dug around a little more and there's a face map of a blue-eyed man just hanging out in the files?? :0 Who is he #We never see that Stanley from the front and I couldn't figure out how to move the camera around in the intro cutscene :( #I'm not even sure if it isn't prerendered lol - if it isn't I'd also consider plugging in some body model glitch cheats but I don't know how #So! For the meantime I'm satisfied enough to just use the face map as a general indication of Maybe Stanley #As well as what we can see from behind and to the side - at least enough to make some guesses! #The main differences are his clothes - hair - and I swear I see a mole next to his right ear on his behind-view #The face map also has a mole above his lip hehe ♪ It's cute! #I'm not sure how much HL Mod Stanley would differ from HD Remix - they share a handful of actions! #I do still think he'd be indignant to the Narrator's shenaniganary lol #I could also see him a bit younger :) From a literal understanding of the mod coming before the full release lol #But I also just enjoy HL Mod Narrator being like thiiiiis much more paternal than all his other iterations - ''Daddy'' notwithstanding lol #Him calling Stanley ''sport'' started right here!

My Jellycat Forest Dragon is here a day early! I'm so happy. Their head seems smaller than Wander's and Dr Pepper's though, but I think its cute

Anyone have sweets themed name suggestions for them? As some may remember, all my dragons are named after sweets. It can be anything that has that taste like candy, drinks, baked goods, maybe even fruit (I'm undecided on if they count or not). If it helps I haven't decided on a gender for the dragon yet either. Any suggestions would be helpful!

#stuffed animals #plushies #plushblr #plush #jelly cat #jellycat #jellycat dragon #plushie community #viti's plushies #wander seems like an exception to the name motif but his full name is actually Wander Starburst so he fits too #anyways I was leaning towards a drink name for this guy #I considered sprite but he isn't the right color. that also excludes moutain dew #although maybe baha blast fits. but I don't like that as a name #I also considered mochi. but idk if mochi is sweet? and he's not the right color for that either #another consideration was airhead. because he's close to the color of a watermelon airhead (my fave) #but I don't think that name suits thrm especially cause their head is so smol #I'm stumped #so please give suggestions

It baffles me sometimes how Yakuza 0 is about the weight of taking a life and how death and killing is a big deal and then the rest of the series it's like lol no.

Female character? Kill her off with little fanfare and development. Helpful side character? Dies for the protag. Antagonist? Have them off themselves.

Characters whose deaths could've and probably should've carried more weight but we don't get enough focus or development on their character. Potential is often squandered. And yes, there is something hard hitting about losing a character before they truly had the chance to flourish, but when it keeps happening? We can't build on character bonds, that'd mean cutting down on substories!! What do you mean we've done this one before it's different now!!!

Not to mention when the franchise decides that completely fatal wounds Are Fine Actually They're Alive And Well All Along. And, y'know. The Heat Actions. Akiyama has kicked many men to death and you won't convince me otherwise.

Idk I like the franchise but I feel there's a bit of lack of tonal cohesion here and there. Notably.

#smol speaks #smol plays yakuza #you are free to disagree but i cannot take the idea the franchise treats death with weight seriously #every one so far has ended with an antagonist who's actually really interesting and could have so much more done with them only for them to #fuckin kill themselves whilst taking out the ACTUAL villain who is far less interesting and basically always just 'Bad Man In Suit' #just Dude Who Wants Power. which yeah in a franchise about yakuza makes sense but they're not interesting about it despite being the REAL #mastermind or w/e. and then Yakuza 4 switched things up by not even giving us an interesting secondary antagonist so very brave move there! #and of course wasting Yasuko's potential but that's fine I'm not bitter. and before you go 'but what about Sayama/Makoto' they get shipped #off to the States and Hana-chan got made skinny so shh. There's a greater pattern at play here and we can talk about the #writing for female characters another time. i'm just saying there gets to a point where death in the franchise doesn't shock me #it does often disappoint me though. if it's not Kiryu or Majima or Haruka or some other protag don't get too attached cause even if they #don't die you likely won't see them again. also they likely will die because fuck you actually. or rubber bullets. as a double fuck you

day 1

prompt : white — breathe

White felt strangely calm for someone who was currently being strangled to probable death. He resisted a little, but it didn't have too much of a fight. White felt like he deserved it, that he was finally being handed a way out without having to seek it out himself.

His vision was darkening at the edges with every passing moment, Sean's hold never loosening. White wondered if this was even close to the pain Black must have felt, wondered if him being gone would bring his brother back from his coma.

Some mornings, when White looked at himself himself in the mirror he felt utterly hopeless. White was out here, while Black laid unconcious. The entire universe seemed to conspire against them so that Black and White could not ever exist in the same space and time. He hated that he had to pretend to be his brother instead of being able to be with Black.

White hated that he was failing at his job of finding out who hurt Black. He hated that his view of the world had shattered and he was left loathing himself. He hated that his parents never cared and were assholes, that his brother wasn't around. He hated that he was falling for Sean even when the other man wouldn't even look at him without resentment and anger. He hated that he was out here and nothing ever seemed to work out.

White had been struggling to breathe long before Sean had even started choke him.

I have come to realize I dress too much like a steven's universe tik tok gay which is why I have decided to create a hat that showcases how much I love violence and blood and killing and

#but it's still cute : P cause I'm a cute little guy tee hee #but see the thing is I'm the only one allowed to call myself cute. It's MY autism and ONLY I get to infantilize myself to be funny #I hope I am just some guy to the rest of you. #but fr I like my style and I think I look good but I have recently become hyperaware that I probably read as like a quirky YA fan #and I just like... would prefer not to be seen that way lol. but I also don't care for the effort I would have to put in to look Actual Alt #I don't feel like there's an ~aesthetic~ tied to weird twinks who love body horror but also slapstick cartoons. which is fine #BUT. I would like to make it apparent that I am not a smol bean. or whatever. because I am not. I am Just Some Guy #who happens to look good in turtlenecks #anyway. hat time. #blood //

even with not being hyperfixated on rhythm heaven since, like, july or august i still remember like everything about it tbh. i didn't forget any rhythm heaven lore i am still the master at it. i absorbed the information from every reading material n rhythm item n everything else. fear my wrath-

#puppy rambles #rhythm hell #i named every single rhythm heaven character once #i mean i say that but i actually forgot a few #like. i forgot the smol robot in fillbots 2. n i forgot the airboarders #n also like i didn't count every single huebird. because that'd make me go insane ksfdjklsfjldfj- #i am not in fact going to count every single huebird in flock step or every single stepswitcher in lockstep i would go fucking insane #i got like every other character tho i'm pretty sure- #i probably forgot someone weird. i mean i don't think i counted fever's two-player endless games #or the endless games from endless remix #but ignoring those i got everyone-

I can’t stop imagining cowboy Silco wearing Cad Bane’s hat. He’d use the big ass brim to cover his face and try to appear as menacing as possible like Bane

So long as it's like the clone wars verison where it's big.

why they kept making his hat so smol

#another reason I don't like book of boba #kept making his hat smol #also modern star wars alien make up in general is so bad unless they look mostly human #-looks at the grand inquisitor- scratch that actually #also cowboy silco is getting a part 2 #people keep giving me good ideas and I'm vibrating #sweaty asks

i'm SICK. i'm back to WORK. i hate IT here

#i don't actually hate it here (here: being back to work - i actually enjoy it which is fucking weird but i'm not going to jinx myself) #i hate: being SICK. i wasn't 3 days ago. then my boyfriend spent the night and now i'm sick. neat #our christmas-related holiday (the spanish thing we do) is in 3 days and i HOPE i'm not so sick by then #bc i wanna hold my nephews so badly again (they're incredibly smol) #anyway okay bye

The game has an appropriate age range? Sorry, i never watched Angelic Layer

Adults DO play (particularly in the anime) but for the most part players are in high school, maybe middle school. Though the youngest confirmed aged player is a 5 year old in the original, but she's a CLAMP 5 year old, so she's fully mature mentally despite being in actual Kindergarten.

lmao the series likes to put a great emphasis on Misaki being "smol" for her age while a literal 5 year old wipes the floor with everyone she encounters.

Point is, IN GENERAL, it's kids playing, kids Marinette's age. Obviously anyone can play, but since this is actively participating in an expensive Battle Royale against other children, I can't just take Any Character Who Has an Akuma and have them play - it has to make sense.

Like, Jalil would probably play, so a Pharaoh Angel makes sense. But I don't think Andre the Ice Cream man would play. That's what I'm trying to get at.

[riding-the-sunset-bird]

A character reference based on all four Steps of Our Life! It's only "sort of" a height reference as well since obviously they're not 100% accurate (the devs don't have specific heights for everyone to my knowledge).

I did dig into the code to try and get characters at their "normal" heights but there are other matters at play too (example: Nicolas is obviously "taller" than he should be because he needs to be pushed upwards to be visible enough above the game's text box; likewise with other very short characters).

Still, this should serve as either a nice reference guide for every character or a "height reference" in the sense of getting an idea of which characters are shorter/taller than others.

I'm also going to detail some extra notes below the break, including posts from GB Patch's Tumblr that reference any defined heights (with Cove being the obvious one) or general height things, as well as some more stuff about the MC's height in comparison to the three love interests depending on what you pick.

Cove's height is listed on GB Patch's FAQ as 4' 1" in Step 1 (also stated as "mostly average, perhaps a bit on the short side"), 5' 4" in Step 2 (in-game this is defined as "very tall" on the MC's potential height spectrum, as that is the only option considered on par with Cove's height), 6' 0" in Step 3, and 6' 4" in Step 4. A fun fact is that Cove's final height was originally 6' 3" (191cm) instead.

Derek in Step 2 is under five feet tall (this post also lists Cove as "around 5 and a half feet tall" which you could take as either close enough to 5' 4" as stated above or a potential original height he had that got changed). In-game, he's "short" but not "very short", as having your MC be "very short" will prompt narration telling you that you're shorter than Derek, whereas "short" only has you relate to him in smolness generally.

Step 4 Derek is "mostly average." He wouldn't be considered tall nor would he be considered short. His youngest brother Nicolas will "probably end up as a similar height to him" once he's more grown up.

Step 4 Baxter is "taller than average, but not especially tall."

I've been informed that, on the Our Life Patreon Discord, Step 4 Derek's height is listed as 5' 9" (175cm) whereas Step 4 Baxter's is listed as 5' 11" (180cm), so those are their defined heights. Before that, both of their heights had jumped around somewhat. A post from 2019 said that Derek was 5' 11", but a post from June 2021 said that Baxter was 5' 11" and Derek was 5' 9" (so consistent with the Discord). Then there's also another post from July 2021 (you'll have to scroll down for this one) that listed Baxter at around 5' 10" while Derek was 5' 8"/5' 9". If you're insane enough to try and use the character reference too, then Baxter would actually be around 6'1" at minimum since he's taller than Step 3 Cove (though you could also make the same argument that this means the mom trio of Pamela, Noelani, and Kyra must be decently tall as well since they're so close to Cove on the character reference).

I don't have any experience with GB Patch's other game, XOXO Droplets, so I don't know what ages the characters are in it, but since both Shiloh and Jeremy are characters seen visibly in Our Life, I thought I'd also mention that they're listed as 5' 10" and 5' 5" (or 5' 5 1/2") respectively in XOXO Droplets. Jeremy also apparently grows to 5' 8" in his 20s and he's 22 in the Our Life Cove Wedding DLC (I don't think this is spoken of in the game specifically but he's labeled as 22 in the code).

As for the MC and how their height plays into things, "tall" and "very tall" as well as "short" and "very short" tend to be considered the same for the most part in the game's code. It's not that there isn't a difference at all (I would say it's still notable), it's just that sometimes the game may be more vague about height differences. My post about Errands references this where you don't need more athletic points due to being "very short" instead of "short" to give Cove a piggyback ride.

A guesstimate I'd make is that about 5% of the time, the game will take note of whether you're "very tall" instead of "tall" or "very short" instead of "short." Otherwise, you're either "generally tall," "average," or "generally short." There are also other instances (usually with Cove) where the game might just check if you're either generally tall (around Cove's height) or not generally tall (i.e: definitely shorter than him).

This is actually relevant to the heights because, following all above information, one would assume that Step 4 Derek is average, Step 4 Baxter is tall, and Step 4 Cove is very tall going off the MC's potential "height spectrum" of very short, short, average, tall, and very tall, but it's not entirely the case.

A "tall" MC (generally tall) will look "down" at Step 4 Baxter just as he will look "up" at them or they'll look directly at each other if the MC is "average," same as Step 3 Baxter, but--

when the game has any instance of differentiating between "tall" and "very tall" (they never do this for Step 3 Baxter so the base assumption would have to be that he's just average height), things change.

During Baxter's apology in the wedding of his Step 4, Baxter dips his chin to look at the MC if they're "short"/"very short," levels his chin to look at the MC if they're "average"/"tall," and then lifts his chin to look at the MC if they're "very tall." A generally tall MC still has to lean down to kiss him if they choose to do so though.

Also, during the intimacy scene with Baxter (either in his office or his living room), if the MC is "very short," "short," or "average," it states that Baxter is taller than them. If they're "very tall," then Baxter is shorter than them, but a "tall" MC is "almost the exact same height" as him.

This is all a really long-winded way of saying that GB Patch referring to Step 4 Baxter being "taller than average but not especially tall" might mean that he's some infuriating middle ground between average and tall where he's not quite one but not quite the other either (which honestly is very Baxter of him so I can't even be mad).
