Shakin’ Bones from the unreleased videogame South of Midnight💀🌿🌒

Why tf did I not see anything about this game until like two days ago?? It looks like it’s gonna be SO FUCKING GOOD and I am HYPE about it!!! Literally everything about it looks amazing, from the graphics to the music choice to the character design, and it’s gonna be about like, fantastical folklore from the Deep South??? God I cannot wait for it to come out🤩🤩🤩

Watch the trailer here if you haven’t seen it yet!!

Detail shots under the cut

Fanfiction culture has become an incredibly toxic place for me over the last few years, and it’s really started to hit me this year how bad it really is. I’ve watched creator after creator delete their tumblrs, delete their fics, delete entire worlds they’ve come up with, all because of factors that are far too prevalent among fans etc. 

I’ve helped friends deal with, and dealt with myself, situations where fics are re-posted, with or without credit but never with permission, seen fics with there names changed and passed off as the work of another author for another fandom as if that will prevent them from being caught, and I’ve watched as slowly, slowly creators just stopped putting up a fight because what’s the point. 

I’ve watched authors be attacked for not updating on time, or for being too sick (mentally, physically, etc.) to write any more of their recent fic, seen fans demand a sequel that the author doesn’t even want to write as if it’s owed to them. 

I’ve seen fans steal copies of people’s works and re-post them when the creator chooses to delete, defending themselves by saying it’s their favorite fic and they didn’t want to lose “ownership” over it, but that right there is the problem in itself. 

Fanfiction writers don’t get paid to write you fics. They have lives, and school, and sometimes even jobs that they have to deal with every single day to make sure that they can live the life they want to live. They come home at night, and they choose to spend their free time writing fanfiction for themselves and the world to enjoy, but they don’t get paid for this. They don’t get piad, and they be no means have to write anything, let alone what you demand of them. 

And it’s heartbreaking really, because I’m watching my friends get broken down by demands for more more more, and I watch them cry over the fact that it isn’t even encouragement or supportive comments - it’s just a constant barrage of where are you, why haven’t you done this, i want an update, i hate waiting, and it’s tearing us apart. 

I hardly see supportive feedback anymore. When it’s there, it’s wonderful and amazing and reminds me why I love to write so much, but unfortunately in life, the bad eclipses’s the good, and it’s discouraging. It’s so discouraging that I’ve watched amazing creator after amazing creator given up and delete, and I’m tired. 

I am so, so tired of hating myself and my writing because all it brings me is grief - why didn’t you do this, this would have been better, you should have reversed the roles, this trope is so old

you haven’t updated in two months, why did you start posting if you weren’t going to finish

being ace is unfair to the other character, he should be more understanding of his partners needs

We, as fanfiction writers, put these fics out there for you to enjoy, but we also do it for ourselves, and I’m tired of being underappreciated and harassed 

If you don’t want your favorite fanfictions deleted, support the author

If you want an author to update, remind them how much you love their fic, but understand that life can be hard

If you don’t enjoy something personally, remember that an authors writing decisions are not based on you

In the new year, I hope to see more of my friends and myself appreciated rather than torn down for all the work that we do, because I know I’m not the only one suffering from the actions of our fans

Writer’s tips posts: “if you’re stuck on a scene, just skip it and keep going! You can always go back and finish that later!”

My adhd brain: “but if fic end finished now, middle of fic doesn’t need to be written, right?”

#cedar rambles #help #poor Karl is balls deep and hasn’t been able to finish for weeks

Taking re8 canon and saying “what if it had just a little bit more ✨pizazz✨”

#cedar rambles #the pizazz in question is like just a touch more fantasy #like what if heisenbergs eyes glow when he absorbs/touches electricity

Listen there’s just something about Heisenberg’s lips that has a death grip on my soul—yeah yeah sitting on his face etc but consider: how nice it would be to just like…sensorily explore his lips? Like to kiss him just to nibble on his bottom lip and pull it gently between your teeth? Or even just to squish it beneath your thumb, drag it down and let it bounce back—I’m down bad fr

Tired of washboard abs propaganda. We must post more tummy.

#Heisenberg with tummy is the only way I want to see him #let that man have a little recovery weight

[cedarsmoke4]

#yall are bringing me joy tbh #Heisenberg fans still out here being rabid about him and I’m so here for it

Mechanic AU Heisenberg, disappearing beneath his pet lycans: “omg you guys are so happy to see me, yay!”

Heisenberg, reappearing a moment later with a large chunk of flesh missing from his shoulder and blood spraying everywhere: “look, a love bite! they love me!”

#karl heisenberg #blood tw #gore tw #headcanons #crack headcanons #mechanic au #cedar rambles #he’s a fucking genius he’s a complete moron he’s my baby girl and my favorite guy #he’s functionally immortal I suspect so he’ll probably be fine

God’s perfect killing machine has the most luscious lips known to man

#karl heisenberg #resident evil village #re8 village #mechanic au #cedar doodles #I’m exhausted rn and I’ve been staring at this for too long so *slaps it down* bed head Heisenberg #also please for the love of all that is holy please stop giving this poor man abs #you know he’d sit around munching on tasty food and drinking beer if he had the chance #give him a little redemption tummy #he deserves to gain a little weight after his ordeal #he probably survived solely on cigars and whiskey until Ethan showed up and murked Miranda #let him be healthy and happy #let him have a donut and a nap #also longer hair Heisenberg is lovely #very much enjoying it #haystack king

Found this just now while innocently digging through google images and I’m SCREECHING

Look at this absolute perfection

Crack offshoot of my mechanic au: Heisenberg ventures into the city exactly one (1) time and his couldn’t-give-a-shit dilf swag catches the eye of a photographer who works for a queer magazine—photographer immediately asks him if he’s interested in modeling

AU sponsored by my insatiable desire to draw nasty old men in slutty and weird little outfits (which I only actually manage to do on occasion)

#karl heisenberg #headcanons #cedar rambles #I have no excuses and I regret nothing

Also since my brain is chaotic at the best of times, firstly I realized that since resE8 takes place in 2021 it’s already modern so I don’t need to call it a modern AU, and secondly I’ve decided that my mechanic AU Heisenberg has two lycans that he kept after the events of the game—he modified them slightly with canine dna (he got the idea from Moreau’s experiments with Vârcolacs) and now he just basically has two giant terrifying guard dogs.

He keeps them behind his fucked up garage, where they hang out and chase deer n stuff. If they don’t catch their own food, he makes sure they get fed properly and often. They’re allowed to wander to some extent, but they are quite attached to Heisenberg and never stray too far away. Because of this, though, they are absolutely the source of several urban legends about werewolves in the forested areas around the main city. They don’t attack people, cause that would be a liability for a working mechanic with a semblance of a presence in his own niche way, but they are absolutely a backup cleanup crew if Heisenberg ever does need to do some dirty work.

And yes he absolutely has forged their rabies vaccination documents. I feel like any type of body that is already inhabited by mutamycete and Cadou is not exactly a hospitable environment for regular bacteria and viruses😂

#karl heisenberg #resident evil village #re8 village #headcanons #cedar rambles #ethical? probably not but he takes good care of them and they’re as happy as mutants can be

[cedarsmoke4]

I feel like the fandom consensus is that Heisenberg fucks like a rabid animal, but I really enjoy the idea of post-Miranda Heisenberg—who’s had some time to relax and appreciate the better things in life—actually like taking the time to really enjoy himself during sex? Like it’s not all about nutting as fast as possible and being all angry n rough n shit, it’s about having a good time and being a little silly and getting into all the sensations and whatnot

Let the man enjoy himself!!! He’s had a rough life, he should be allowed to slow down and breathe a little

#nsfw text #karl heisenberg #resident evil village #re8 village #mechanic AU #headcanons #cedar rambles #don’t get me wrong I love the hard n fast Heisenberg too #but he’s got so much fucking potential to be a truly fantastic hooligan and Miranda was robbing him of that #let him be a fool #he needs some good silly #he’s not a failure of a project he’s his own silly little guy
