#this is about the prologue i mean

[straightfromthetorturedpoetsdept]

its crazy to me that all i needed was to have taylor admit that she made a fucking mistake because she had a mental breakdown following her break-up and all of a sudden, i feel so much better about last year.

I love your take on Crowley!

I know that the early, non-Diasomnia stories aren't really your thing, but are you reading the novels at all?

I have been following some of the fan translations and the second book seems intense! Would love to hear what you think about them.

thank you! 💚💚💚 I'm not really sure why you think I don't like the earlier arcs though, I love pretty much all the characters and their storis! (I think 5 and 1 are my favorite of the past episodes, though 6 infected me with the Shroud brainrot something fierce.) I just...ESPECIALLY love diasomnia. :') but there is room in my heart for all of these dweebs! like, who among us is not just as ride-or-die for Adeuce as they are for us.

that said, I don't really follow the other adaptations like the manga (aside from a dip-in just to see the new Yuus) or the novels, though I keep meaning to check them out! I do like seeing the differences between the different forms of media, and how certain things get adapted one way or another! but alas, time/a lack of accessibility stands in our way more often than not. :( someday...someday I will have time to consume all of the media...

#art #twisted wonderland #i have been playing this game since the day it came out #and believe me i could not have stuck with it for the past three and a half years if i was not deep into all of these idiots #not to harp on it but i do think it's funny because i actually. really did not like the diasomnias at first. #it was like a month before their cards/personal stories were added and so we knew almost NOTHING about them #the website descriptions basically make everyone sound awful #so i thought they were kind of mean/boring compared to everyone else! #(except maybe lilia but i was mad at him for the two seconds of 'girl? 👀' hope i had when they were revealed) #but once their cards came out i fell just as hard for them as i did the rest of this silly game #well. sebek took a little longer. but his ketchup incident converted me. #anyway i have so much sentimentality for episode 1 especially #the prologue was like 'oh this is actually a very silly game! oh there is a plot!' #episode 1 was like 'oh i LIKE these characters and what they're doing with them' #(i think ace punching riddle was the moment i decided i REALLY liked this game) (sorry riddle) (you were being a huge dick though) #also...ink drips. ink drips everywhere. #look when i say this game is laser-focused at me and my tastes specifically i am not kidding

tails taken in forces as well my beloved 🫶 asking you about it 👀🍵

Okay, so.

Sonic gets killedcaptured by Eggman, Tails goes MIA, Rouge finds out Sonic is alive on the Death Egg, they rescue him, yadda yadda, we all know the drill.

And of course, once Sonic is free he's looking for his little brother. He's not there, but his friends tell him he's just been over somewhere else, doing his best to help and no, he can't contact him right now because he's spying/going undercover whatever and him calling Tails would jeopardize the mission and of course he wants to talk to him but he understands it's important and it's not like they would lie to him, especially right after escaping Eggman, riGhT?

Well, fast forward to the final battle.

Of course, Sonic is still kind antsy because he still haven't seen Tails and they keep telling him Tails is still on the mission whenever he asks and then he gets pulled into helping the Resistance and the thought kinda slips his mind with everything going on and plot twists happening at every occasion (Chaos, Shadow, Metal and Zavok weren't real but clones created by Infinite? like, who would have guessed!) and before he knows it the Resistance is making their final stand, Infinite defeated, Mobius saved from being burnt-slash-hit by the sun and if only they could find Eggman-

Suddenly a huge hologram of the man himself appears on the sky. Figures he turned tail and ran like a coward he was, probably only appearing for his usual "you might have won this time, but next time it'll be my victory" routine.

But Sonic isn't ready for what the man says. He is ready, when Eggman's hologram switches to a video recording. He's not ready when he sees Tails, his little brother. Bloodied. Bruised. Fur stuck together, some patches missing entirely. Forced to his knees. Shock collar clipped around his neck. Arms, legs, even his tails chained together so he wouldn't escape.

Amy lets out a strangled gasp behind Sonic and he turns, staring right at her. In her eyes, in all of his friends' eyes he can see it.

They knew. They knew and they have been lying to him.

Maybe they didn't know Eggman had him, the shock and terror is genuine, but they fucking knew Tails wasn't with them. They knew he was missing and they didn't do anything!

"Your turn, Sonic," Eggman says, his hologram once more switching with the recording, but it doesn't take away the image of his little brother broken by the same man now staring down at him.

Sonic looks up at the hologram, flames burning in his eyes. He's gonna find him. He's gonna drag the man from whatever hole he buried himself in this time and he's going to make damn sure he never tries to mess with his family again!

#well that escalated quickly #i didn't mean for it to turn into a small oneshot/prologue i promise #but when i write i write #can't do anything about it #well hope you enjoyed it anyway and are as hooked as i am #fingers crossed i get to writing it at some point #miles tails prower #sonic the hedgehog #dr eggman #sonic forces #forces rewrite #kitty mom answers

there exists … an imodna playlist that I’ve been carefully curating since 2022 with genre-consistent, thematically-appropriate songs with hyperspecific lyrics and every time I listen to it I froth at the mouth a little bit. it’s in chronological order. it starts with laudna, then imogen, then their meeting and getting on the road and I know I made it but ahhhh

edit: here's a link. it's a constant wip

#imodna #every time I add a song or edit it I go a little more insane #I’m so picky #this is no hate to anyone but I refuse to put generic love songs on this playlist #by hyperspecific i mean there is a song about a corpse falling in love with the person caring for body her after her death #it’s me and my relatively obscure folk-country-gothic artists or bust #(with a few exceptions) #you can find it if you search imodna on spotify the image is the same as my pfp #edit: apparently you cant find it by searching theres now a link in the replies #its not totally organized yet #one day ill post the whole thing with all my rationale for each song but the first uhh 50ish songs are solidly ordered #loose order is prologue -> laudna -> imogen -> meeting -> on the road -> are they in love? #tagged accidental flowers in hair motif

I know we all love to say "fuck mystra" this and/or Gale's Folly (subtitled: How Could You Be Such A Callous Idiot)—but really, Gale and Mystra are primarily REALLY BAD at communicating. The whole issue started when Mystra a) couldn't provide a satisfying answer to Gale's desire for more, b) Gale decided that instead of being vulnerable and working through it, he'd do a Secret Project(TM), c) Gale didn't bother telling Mystra what said project was, and/or she only vaguely warned him off it. And then Gale rolled a nat 1 on his arcana check, and then a second nat 1 for insight b/c the DM was attempting to take mercy on him and was staring at Gale and the book, worrying 4d6 under the table while not breaking eye contact and saying, very slowly, "...are you sure?"

#there are so many problems with their relationship #primarily Gale's lack of literally anyone else besides Tara and his mom that aren't caught up in this thing #and also the power differential #but if we take mystra in act 3 at her word #she would've eventually opened up to gale #he was just too young for him to have more than a taste of what was *really* important to her #(she's a goddess—so ymmv about how important /meaningful sex is to her) #and Gale didn't mean to release the karsite weave in the first place #(NVM he somehow thought mystra *broken* or less of herself) #he was trying to give her back a piece of herself #He just entirely misread the entire situation #for the record #this is not mystra-positive #fuck mystra #and fuck all the other gods #just that if they were in a different genre besides high fantasy mythic adventure story prologue #this could've been a great comedy of errors #bg3 #gale dekarios #gale of waterdeep #mystra #(gosh I hope people still know what 4d6s are for...)

"the endgame had never been finished" meaning......kinzo died before he could put this plan of his into motion?

#umineko liveblog #kinzo acted hastily and failed to 'win' over nanjo in the end #meaning that the Something was neither exposed or buried before he died #the 'rushed' part is giving me pause because what could kinzo have rushed? #unless of course he didn't plan on the 1986 family conference being the day he spun the demon's roulette #but then given Everything we need to read all post-prologue kinzo scenes as dubiously authentic #which. actually. this is all leading to a very worrying conclusion specifically about kinzo's role in the epitaph ritual #no tvs in the study........his chess game unfinished.....surely this doesn't actually mean what i think it's implying #because why else would these killings even happen and be involved with the epitaph succession riddle if not for kinzo #like this is obviously his machination but. the metaphors are doing a good job of distancing him #unless this is another way to clue in on the 'dead all along' thing which still hasn't been Actually Confirmed True #ie kinzo had other plans but died before he could amend them so genji is acting out the Kill Everyone part of his will instead #but that leaves the question of what kinzo's unfinished plan is and what the 'rushing' actually means. a lot to consider here........

The unbearable burden of knowing that to see the Ethersea fic I want to in the world I have to be the one to write it......

#sierra speaks #taz ethersea #in the meantime i would prefer to write the wiki tbh #hey can i have a pact with someone that if i write the wiki and make it extra good in the Ethersea ones that they'll write the guyse #also i want to oh my god wait im so excited i just remembered the Ethersea prologue events table is done #which means i can 1 ALMOST post about it #and 2 i can finally perfectly plan my oksamber shoreside fic. like ive had it in my head but now it can be perfect

[friendofcars]

sorry to all the essays and notes and everything (an apology to myself really) but im doing the td3 pov data now instead

#rchl #cdth starts off so narrator-ish though like i THINK the prologue isn't really anyone but if you had to pick someone #it would be declan and since the revelation of his middle name tadhg (means storyteller) i think it's fair to designate the prologue as his #pov #HOWEVER i have to actually closely read the chapter and see how the descriptions of the lynches jive w declan's perceptions #also ch 1 is probably getting attributed to carmen but it veers lock for like. a sentence. and seems to be making assumptions about carmen #rather than her telling the audience about herself BUT shes repressed as hell. so #hi did anyone read this. do you have opinions on this and are there enough ambiguous chapters to constitute a category of their own #also shout out to breck myrtle for getting a pov chapter. i sure did forget about him

hey what if someone made a fic that explored emily's monsterhood and also, billie lurk's monsterhood in how she views herself? wouldnt that be fucked. haha

#billie lurk #emily kaldwin #billie/emily #70k of deadly wlw slowburn #me writing this post in the most flippant possible tone but also like. gnawing my arm off #let me talk to you about abjection and alterity and how that relates to the queer experience #and race and gender and - *i am taken out back and shot by the fandom police* #this is part two of my 'billie is tall and has tattoos' propaganda #also apparently i'm the first person to tag a fic billie/mindy? #what! the fuck #i mean in this case its a past r'ship but like i assumed this was like. already a thing #anyway. here's the prologue. only the final scene reflects the writing style of the rest of the fic #will write up a proper post later but for now sleep

the most important irl house lesson: you can't cure yourself from the bob dylan disease 💔 and you can't alleviate the symptoms 💔

#jo in the tardis* #seeing a 60+ year old man be weird about bob dylan *rory gilmore voice* behold my future #this is like that beatles tribute band and the grandpa i saw dancing to their music about a year ago. the prologue for this bshahdjs #you WOULDN'T believe my real life symbolism. i mean we all have it they don't write all those books for nothing #i should write a boooooooooook

[arcanusarchieves-if]

Does anyone have any magical sounding songs (or just songs that you think would suit the characters/world)?

I’m on a writing streak (just started two of the routes for chapter one!!!) and need to update my playlist for some more ~inspiration~.

#I’m on a writing spree #I stayed up until 3 this morning just to finish off the prologue #it’s basically completed (so 100% written and edited) #I also started the detailed outline for chaps 3-4 #which means I can focus on actually writing up until then #but that’s far in the future so no need to talk about it now #author: Oracle #playlists #writing related #audience interaction #arcanus archives #Arcanus

feeling so dumb over iw ch12 discourse. How exactly ppl see kiryu if this is ooc to them

#like i don't get it at all #*taps a sign* y4 finale and y5 prologue exist #and his whole deal with responsibility. In general #the way his words contradict his own actions is always endearing to me #This is about daigo specifically because I'm obsessed with their relationship but ughhh #“he was so mean and bossy for no reason” yeah #so what #It wouldn't be the first time. Not even the second #I like kiryu quite a lot. But he has his fatal flaws and i like them too

Took yesterday off (i woke up a little hater and I shouldnt handle other people ocs like that lol) and tried out a few vn i had in mind, mainly Keyframes

And i just have to say that the only reason i didn't got a brainrot was bc only a minidemo is available and there's not enough fan content to keep it alive in my brain

I have my eye on Percy bc i saw one meme comparing him to Baxter and that inmediately caught my interest (i have a type, don't i)

#shocking news I'm interested in the fashionable-flirty-idiot #im also very interested TitanArum but i just need someone to tell me if the cat dies in any route #i am NOT losing Bartholomeow idc if that means I'll be stuck in the prologue forever #(not a big fan of the yandere otome stuff but that's kinda all i see lately so i dont have much of a choice?) #I'll try out other games next sunday. mabye give olba another playthrough #rui thinks loudly #saw someone talking about how KF could fill that gape between steps 3 and 4 and honestly i love that #AU where Ruri went to college and choose law on a whim but stayed bc she liked her new friends
