Freddie Wong is the most fascinating person to me. King does escape rooms alone and that’s somehow completely unsurprising. He gets hiccups ‘as an adult’. He got a microscope to look at his baking. What the fuck is up with him.

#/pos #dndads #dungeons and daddies #Freddie Wong #in the mummies episode he talks about the fucking #escape room thing #and I lose it #‘he does them by himself sometimes because he likes to see how they’re designed’ #dude #I love it what’s up with him

I find myself constantly trying to frame the abuse in words that would seem palatable and acceptable for a regular person to hear. I need words to explain what happened to me without getting an immediate confusion/disgust/disbelief/anger reaction. People tend to either interrupt me to say 'past is in the past' or jump to convince me that I'm wrong and I must be exaggerating or just tell me they don't want to hear about it.

At this point all I can really say is that I have been through several types of abuse and I'm still affected by it, and nothing more severe than that can actually get through to people; but when I say this, it feels so mild and unspecific, they forget I even said it and assume it was nothing. If I say I've been through an imprisonment/torture type situation, then they assume I'm lying because I just act warm and friendly and they can't comprehend someone being trained to act pleasing during torture.

'I ran away from home' makes people feel pity for parents, they must be worried about me (yes, they're always worried that I'm still alive somewhere). If I say 'my parent did x to me', they make assumptions and then bend over backwards to justify the parent's actions or to find reasons and excuses for it.

Has anyone been able to find words that make people understand? I can't show any of my trauma symptoms visibly, so people would have to believe my words, and not what they're seeing in front of them.

if escape rooms as team building exercises became popular im not sure if id be more excited or terrified

#if it isnt already anyway.. i can see it happening as a school frosh thing. idk if it would catch on as a workplace thing #i kind of find the concept of being locked in with strangers and working to find a way out weirdly exhilarating though #at least compared to icebreakers cause i dont have to spend 10 minutes racking my brain for something to blurt out abt myself #as a bonus u could like. put people into groups and give prizes to whoever escapes first second third etc. apparently they also do themed #escape rooms.. maybe let people pick a theme? or voluntary sign up? actually this would be really fun for smth like a blind friend date #although if i found out i was locked in a room with an online friend id be too excited to actually escape LOL #ive never done an escape room before so sadly i cant speak from experience. its like up there on things i want to try next to rug tufting #workshop and visiting new art exhibits or conventions. i seriously need to get out more if it wasnt for the horrors <- school and anxiety #i was planning to invite cass to a drop-in art workshop in town but neither of us could go bc typography is making us go thru hell and back #AND THEY HAD A BUTTON MACHINE TOO #im nostalgic bc i miss working in groups and not being awkward abt it or worrying abt schedule conflicts #i realized that i learn best in groups and its a little corny but i like sharing ideas and talking through a problem #in elementary i could just sit down with friends for review and come out of it energized *and* more familiar with the material #and i could technically still do it now. but as adults we're more picky abt who we work with on top of being way more busy outside school #maybe im lonely. im shy and grew up not talking to ppl unless i absolutely have to so its hard to make friends on my own i guess #only thing getting me thru it is telling myself that humans like helping and that my cringe is overblown in my head. but its hard #hence the escape rooms. i have been able to talk to 2(!!) people though!! mostly abt school stuff but im glad to be on friendly terms #i dont really know how to be happy these days cause im constantly scaring myself abt my portfolio and finding places to work #not being ambitious is part of not wanting to put energy into something that wont work out while also not having the passion to do literall #anything else.. i should probably talk to my counsellor ugh #yapping

Whenever I think about your Keir I think about Bethany telling Anders he reminds her of Malcom. I’m sure that won’t ever affect Keir ever.

bethany is my favourite mage bc she never misses with that psychic damage

but really he and anders aren’t even a thing in act 1 so it’s less like “PLEASE stop comparing my crush to our father” and more like “oh fuck off i spend my entire life trying to act like our dad and one (1) mage rolls up and suddenly he’s dad??”

#the bethany anders keir weirdness about malcolm is so real #because bethany says ‘you remind me of him (generally positive)’ in act 1 #but in later acts i think she’s still seeing the same thing just with a different uhhh mindset #seeing the way her dad wanted her to be something she wasnt and strive for something she was never sure was worth the sacrifice #how he tried to make decisions about what was best for other people. how he risked lives etc #whereas anders also has his own perception of malcolm which i think is quite... idealised #it means a lot to him that a mage raised a family that loved him. and hes envious of it #but thats definitely a standard anders is making up. if anders and malcolm really met we’d have to cast a barrier between them within five #minutes. for their own safety. #whereas keir in some ways saw a more complete version of his father from the beginning #but he also believes those more uhh flawed abrasive damaging sides are necessary. of course he does he repeats them #his father may not have been the easiest man in the world to live with but he always did what he had to #and kept his word and held himself to the same standards as others #but oh wait here’s the legacy dlc with the steel chair— #anyway my point being that u get these 3 in a room and theyre talking abt 3 entirely different malcolms. carnage #i dont think it would naturally occur to keir to compare anders to malcolm #but hed be like. ‘i GUESS?’ when bethany said it #honestly anders one of the things that’s kind of disillusioning abt malcolm bc like #i mean say what you like about my man anders but he was never all talk #not to dismiss the courage it took for malcolm to escape & raise a family #but thats one thing. insisting on using your abilities to help people & to go BACK for those still in the circle is kind of another #a lot of dialogue implying malcolm talked a big game about mage rights #but apart from raising a daughter who hates herself what did he actually do. #sorry thats mean but you see my point #and its not just justice that makes anders like that. sure he was more scared and hopeless about the circle #but his instincts are to help. you wouldnt catch malcolm going back to help against darkspawn even when told to run #and my malcolms also. gruff. stoic. serious. a man of few words. he does not do bits or tell you about his cat #if keir hears bethany compare anders to malcolm and at all agrees it’s not really anything about personality #he’s saying yeah i guess anders does seem like a good mage and a good man. thats the only commonality he would jump to #these tags got incredibly away from me

What if the elixir isn’t a 50/50 shot for immortality/death. What if it’s a 50/50 shot of “become immortal and permanently bound to the earthly realm” or “go through a complicated process to escape the cycle of samsara”

Because the samsara room remake has you explicitly playing as William/Laura but the interference of the resurrection ritual pulls the spirit back out.

#I may be talking out of my ass idk #rusty lake #cube escape #samsara room

[pochapal]

kind of obsessed with the way that locked room mystery knowledge is just this Thing all the members of the ushiromiya family seem to have

#umineko liveblog #this is like zero escape but instead of talking about morphogenetic fields everyone goes on about locked room construction

[astrito]

I. Spent more time than I planned in making this

#art-strito #shaplin #god this conference is so damn boring #like yeah he cracks jokes sometimes but the thing he is talking about? 💤💤💤 #the only escape i have from this is cringefail pathetic bird girl........... /pos #WLEJWKEKWKE love her so much i go back to anger responses. like cuteness agression methinks #gonna shake her like a maraca till she explodes /aff #puts her in a room full of watermelons (it so happens to be the year 2003) /aff /j #lmao #edit; also. did this with my finger. drawing like that is not that bad actually huh

[dark-elf-writes]

Lol.

Random ass thought.

Game Changer but it's KHR Characters, with Reborn as the host of course.

Tsuna, after the last game show Reborn hosted having him lose, decided to just go all in on winning and became the Brennan Lee Mulligan of it. Nothing else, he just wants to fucking win.

Mukuro and Crome being the devil and angel on Tsuna’s shoulders during the deviled egg bit.

Tsuna going on the “I cannot win” rant.

[dollarstoreartsupplies]

god i wish the escape room movies had more of an audience becuase i NEED to talk about danny kahn like like LIKE

spoilers below obviously

this kid is the youngest player (I don't think it's specified but he's at oldest early 20's) and he lost his ENTIRE FAMILY to carbon monoxide poisoning either very recently or REALLY YOUNG (I can't remember if we know) and is also he is so fucking good at escape rooms like really good at escape rooms

and then he has the only death that's pretty much exclusively unavoidable regardless of how clever you are

like you can make the argument it wouldn't have happened if ben hadn't been a dick but also there were clearly explosives in the ice and a fast current and regardless it's clear minos wanted to kill him; it wasn't about luck it wasn't about being smarter it wasn't about making mistakes he just dies because they explode the ice he's standing under

and it almost makes you wonder if minos had underestimated him? like they hadn't realized quite how good he'd be, and wanted it to come down to luck more than it came down to skill or maybe they HADN'T underestimated him but his death had just been a preplanned and especially cruel way of setting the stakes for the other players

like idk where im going with this and it's not expanded upon at all in the movie because he dies first and obviously from like an Art perspective he's clearly just the peppy, vaguely likable scapegoat character who dies first so the audience invested in the stakes but also I WANT TO TALK ABOUT HIM I WANT FANFIC ABOUT HIM I WANT TO THINK ABOUT DANNY KAHN FROM THE ESCAPE ROOM MOVIES-

#I also would love to talk about Brianna and Rachel from tournament of champions but thats cuz im gay #and like behind Zoey and ben the few people who talk about escape room agree with me on the two of them #though I would LOVE a more intense deep dive hurt comfort about Rachel not feeling pain #but like I NEED to talk about Danny kahn like COME ON he is PERFECT fanfic fodder #I will found family these dead traumatized at least 50% bad people fucks if it's the last thing I do #Danny kahn #escape room #escape room 2019

[akkivee]

there was also this segment in the event and i’m glad they know lmao

#this is vee speaking #the seiyuu had to watch a scene and then answer a question about the scene lol #i remember the last time we had talk events for rhyme anima they had that as a segment #but i did NOT remember it was called cult anima LOL #they asked four questions and i only got two right lmao #but that last one had me fcked up lmao they played the scene where mtc and dh get locked up in their escape room from episode 8 #and then went and asked what colour were the curtains around the timer LOL #iwasaki-san the goat got it miraculously but komada-san with full confidence answered incorrectly and he went kaneki ken on it LOL

[spider-man-2o99]

I JUST REALIZED YOUR MIGUEL DRAWING WITH HIM SAYING “i becamed… a vampire” IS CANON NOW! (ignoring reality) that’s exactly what he told gwen when they first met that’s why she’s introducing him as one to everyone else

dbjkbdjCKBJKDBJCDBCJCDJKJKDBCB GOD.,,, miguel voice okay shes like 16 what is the least-traumatic way to phrase the events that transpired when i got Spidered for someone who is both a Stranger and an Infant. uh . shock. okay. so, heyyy, tell me, gwen, have you ever, uh. ever heard of Those Feratu-

#talking tag #asks #atsv #spider-man 2099 #spiderman 2099 #miguel o'hara #gwen stacy #...i mean. i WILL say. /in-universe/ it actually would be in migs best interest if ppl just thought that he DID get turned into a vampire. #because of the Established History that vampires have of Existing in the marvel universe as People with Rights and Communities nd stuff lol #meanwhile if u hop over to like. punisher 2099 even. Mutates have a fantasy slur just for them and part of the public eyes job is-- #--literally just ''hunt down sobbing mutates that escaped from alchemax and brutally recapture them'' and i am Not making this up #like. IN BROAD DAYLIGHT. PUNISHER 2099 IS.. NOT A SUBTLE BOOK. but it provides fascinating insight into a lot of e928 worldbuilding. #there is this one scene i actually really like the writing of where Tyler and th punisher Big Bad are sniping @ e/o in front of. like. #this MASSIVE wall of cages--just. floor-to-ceiling--all full of screaming wailing mutates. and neither of them even bat an eye at it all. #and Fearmaster (the Punisher villain) tries 2 Threaten tyler with his scary Creepy Hand but tyler just smacks him away nd calls it Lame #meanwhile they are still in a room full of People In Kennels that their Evil Sci-Fi Cyberpunk Future Corporation Legally Owns #marvel 2099 is so fun

[autumn-opossum]

What if Hemlock doesn’t actually need more funding for project necromancer and instead it’s for more yarn

#he really wanted to prioritize the side business after omega escaped in case that meant project necromancer failed #if you don’t know what I’m talking abt i have a headcanon that he’s a crocheter and thats why his hand hurts #tbb #the bad batch #dr hemlock #royce hemlock #star wars #anyway there was a massive roach in my bathroom just now and it escaped so I’m afraid to go in there ever again #i wonder if tantiss has roaches #i now have a new headcanon that as calm and collected as hemlock usually is he’s TERRIFIED of roaches #whenever he sees one he freaks out and begs scorch to kill it for him #child emerie discovered this one day and put one in his room to mess with him #she never got caught #wow this got carried away #tw cockroaches #ig

[strangeparadoxlikely]

i maintain that freddie wong is one of the weirdest most galaxy-brained people on earth

i daresay he's a bit of a manic pixie dream girl...

#context: im relistening to old talking dads episodes #and they talk about how they would tell it was the real freddie wong if there were two and one was an imposter #among other things he talks about going to escape rooms by himself #that man is a phenomena and id probably turn to dust if i met such a weirdly powerful creature #dndads #dungeons and daddies #freddie wong #mis mamadas

[blood-injections]

I fucking love the desert I haven't been there in years but between constant danger days thoughts and falling in love with it back when I've visited family there i can just zone out and feel like im standing there im so fucking like spiritually connected to it.

#talk to me about the desert please i want to talk about exploring it and finding cool stuff and hunting scorpions for fun and and #everything the horrible heat but the energy there the mirages but the spirituality of being in the desert and seeing the #vast horizon #like lsdunes said. the limitless sky #one day im going to put a little trailer on some land in the desert and make it my quaint little home #and have a cool garden like my aunt with her little trailer in the redwoods #and itll be my escape for art and music and a cat and room for friends to stay as long as they dont mind cuddling or the futon #and ill explore the desert every day #and send praise for the Phoenix witch for real #and become one with the buzzards and coyotes #because every time i close my eyes im back in socal a mile out in the desert #standing in a shack i found with no windows or doors anymore and no roof just four disintegrating concrete walls #with a poem graffitied on the wall inside talking about the sun and god #and my pockets full of forgotten artifacts #cool rocks rusted bits of metal and one apache tear i found in the sand #that looked like the night sky had fallen #dripped to the desert below and solidified #and the desert decided to gift it to me #corvids rambles
