Something kind of funny I never anticipated about crocheting with longer hair was pulling out a piece of my own hair out of my project that I somehow crocheted into it

#art #fiber art #crochet #most likely that strand fell out mid-stitch and i just... crocheted it in #love in every stitch? no. HAIR in every stitch #also i'm watching a video about knitting (war-time knitting specifically) and it's sparking memories #i forgot the sheer effort that was getting women to knit for soldiers (understandably because i wasn't alive during those wars but still) #molly was my favourite american girl book and i think that's where i first learned about that as a kid???? #but those books weren't mine they were just family books and i LOVED reading fiction back then #and i really liked the historical aspect to those books in the sense that they were about girls in specific historical periods #and they incorporated actual history in it - to the full extent i'm not sure because i haven't read them in close to ten years (idk) #and it's interesting to see just how many people - not even just women! - knit for soldiers #i'm learning now from this video the sheer number of other people who started in knitting #anyway this is why i'm begging men to also do fiber arts (watching a reel of a guy crochet a blanket and HELL YEAH BROTHER)

Okay

OKAY!

Okay...

So... I'm watching Armada with a friend, and we're at the last stretch. Specifically, we just finished the episode where Sideways reveals himself to be an avatar of Unicron/Unicron himself, and my friend's like: "Wouldn't that mean Nitro is Unicron's kid?" And I'm just like: "....wait.... WAIT!.... *soundcrusher.exe has stopped working*"

Because, it does!? (If I'm not working in another friend's story/universe and just with what the show gives me.)

And I'm just like... my mind was pretty much blown wide open.

'Cus.... yeah? That was a thing that happened, I guess...

I mean, does this look like the face of something related to Unicron!?

They also pointed out how funny my wife loving depiction of Sideways is with this fact. XD

My man Blurr could have single handedly stopped all of this shit. (Just joking.)

God, if I had a nickel for every time I accidentally made a god have a kid. I mean, I would habe two nickels, but it's still weird that it happened twice...

#late night rambles #transformers #transformers armada #transformers oc #nitro #look; I'm tired as fuck and still reeling from the reveal my friend made #I'm like... #give me a secind guys... #I have spend my time too much in fan work; that I forgot that Sideways being Unicron in the show was a thing...

a problem with running dungeons with friends is that every time i do something stupid it becomes canon baby mode behavior.

#it's been two days and im still reeling from 'designated sack handler' #there's no coming back from that one i'm afraid #see also nanamo: why did i ask you to come down here with me again #ilya: shrug emoji #(it's because he can't say no) #nanamo: wow there are lil guys in here don't like that! #ilya lighting bats on fire with a flamethrower: what was that i can't hear you over the flanethrower #baby mode blogging #very few things are funnier than the flamethrower.

It happened again.

"I don't tell this to people so soon after meeting them, but..." my coworker says and then proceeds to tell me about the time he had to bail out his sibling from jail and the other time he nearly got in a fist fight and oh yeah his family owns a company that half of you reading this would recognize meaning he comes from serious wealth. I nod and swear my silence and wonder if he knows our other coworker told me just last week about her rough past as a foster kid and the time she had to get seven stitches in her leg and the other time her truck got stolen. "I don't usually tell people this, but..." she had said before I got her life story.

I have no idea what I did to inspire their trust aside from being a friendly, consistent presence, but that's what it is to be a Courtier Badger. I fully expect to have my manager's PIN by next Friday.

#obv joking at the end there but the rest of this is not exaggerated #I'm still reeling from how rich this guy's family is #courtier badger #badger secondary #sortinghatchats

Little Birdie 🐦 would you mind giving us your life updates since we are very much interested in you 🤗 hope you don't mind.

I'm ashamed to admit how long it took me to figure out why you colored the words that way bahaha

Work has been keeping me very busy. I think I've been passed out by 10 almost every day this week 😭 So, not a lot of fics being written during the work week because I've been feeling so wrung out (I haven't even been sending good morning reddit penises to my girlies, which is TRAGIC)

But, aside from work, life is going fine! I'll be going to the states soon for my brother's wedding, which is a week after Mr. LB's mum's wedding and also a month before my sister's wedding. So it's going to be a wild few months!! I'm hoping to get some writing done on the plane (Well aware that the last time I said that, I got only about a thousand words done, but I was also surprised by my coworker sitting in the same row as me and maybe got a little embarassed)

And then also, here's a fun, completely random intrusive memory that hit me today: The very first time I met Mr. LB's friend group at a barbecue, one of them wanted to bring balloons (the drug) and the others were really not happy with that suggestion and at the time I didn't even know that "balloon" could mean anything other than, ya know, balloons (🎈), so I told his entire friend group that I love balloons and I definitely think we should bring some to the barbecue!

#Anyway that was 4 years ago and I'm still reeling from it #Mr LB was sitting next to me having an entire crisis #I just thought it was mean we were putting down that one guy for enjoying balloons #I was trying to be supportive cause no one was on his side #anyway #don't do drugs kids #Gosh this got wildly off tangent

little D&D update: yesterday Finch told her potential love interest the truth about her being the high elven princess and he fucking SKIPPED TOWN

#that's the simple version lmao #there's more to it of course but like. idk WHAT is up with him to make this something he felt the need to DROP EVERYTHING AND RUN for #i'm reeling lmaoooo this is great for drama and all but i was NOT expecting it this dude was SO chill up until this point #went from the whole party being like 'oh him? yeah he's great cool guy :)' to 'WHAT A LITTLE BITCH' overnight in-game shdmfbsndjddm #luckily nothing explicitly romantic had happened yet otherwise the fallout from this would've been soooo much worse #don't get me wrong finch is devastated and Very Upset but like. dm said that this was always the planned outcome #so it could've potentially happened after entering a romance lmao #oc: finch

Fortress: A Little Directory for the Final Fantasy Game That Never Happened

{out of dalmasca} I don’t know how I missed all of this information, given how much I’ve searched for information about Basch over the years, but I recently found this set of sites discussing Fortress, the canceled sequel to Final Fantasy XII for which Basch would have been the main protagonist. They explained a lot more about the game than I ever knew before, so I thought I would pass them along to other fans who may not have seen them either.

Not much is known about it, as it never got out of the early stages of development before the project was canceled. It was abandoned after its now-defunct production studio, Grin, and Square Enix, the makers of FFXII, had some serious creative differences about everything from the climate and type of terrain to use, to story pacing and the levels of involvement of returning characters.

Fortress was supposed to have centered mainly around a titular, highly magical fortress in northern Ivalice that would have seen Basch (as Judge Magister Gabranth), Queen Ashelia, Emperor Larsa, and others from FFXII charged with defending it from various threats, the most formidable of which was a new villain, Loemund, the King of the Sea. Unfortunately, Grin pushed for the use of a recycled world design from another previously scrapped game, including terrain and climate biomes that didn’t match with that of Ivalice in FFXII:

This was just the start of some of the catastrophic creative differences between Grin and Square Enix that, along with Grin’s studio ultimately closing, sealed Fortress’ fate before it ever had a chance.

Below are links to a three-part article (the first link is the hub and the next three are the parts of the article) that explains a great deal of information about Fortress, including clothing and enemy design, setting, gameplay, and storyboards. The last link outlines the entire story of the game, so don’t read it unless you want spoilers, although since this game is unlikely ever to be picked up by another studio, I doubt that matters very much. If you are a fan specifically of Basch, Ashelia, Larsa, or even Zargabaath, you’ll want to read the story. It... is not at all what I expected and has some twists and turns that have definitely left me... feeling some things.

If I find more information about this game in my travels, I will add to this directory, but for now, I’ll leave these here for anyone who is interested and to save them for my own reference:

#{ out of dalmasca } ᵒᵒᶜ #final fantasy xii #ffxii #fortress #{guys i'm reeling from this} #{i legit need a moment to just digest and process what i just read} #{i absolutely hated it but also loved it} #{parts of it hurt so much and yet they were so in character for people so how can i argue} #{like i just... yeah i'll be fine i just have to wrap my brain around all of this new information haha} #{the question is... do i take this as canon or not?} #{i... need time to think about that} #{also that terrain they're saying doesn't match Ivalice that is supposed to be to the north} #{looks so much like how I imagined Landis... a northern coastal republic in my canon} #{that I'm freaking out a little} #{forests and rocky cliffs by the sea with towns and at least one major city as well as a strategic port that Archadia wanted} #{that's my Landis in a nutshell} #{it's like Basch has come full circle... beginning in cold seaside rocky forests of Landis} #{and ending with facing the King of the Sea in the same type of setting in norther Ivalice} #{purely coincidental as my take on Landis is absolutely not canon and I made it up heh} #{but for me and my own canon for Basch... it's so symbolically perfect that I can't even deal} #{especially... given the ending.... for Basch....} #{the way in which his story ended and the reasons he decided to do what he did...hurt my SOUL} #{i'm not crying you're crying just go read the damn story heh}

[loveofastarvingdog]

okay, so as far as i can piece together, i had three (?) dreams last night.

the first centered around visiting my family, who had brought a young guy into their home who was cis but trans . ? (had gotten top surgery, phallo, hormones, etc ? but had always been a guy <- complicated but made sense in the dream) but he was also sort of a werewolf (had been a canine and then human?) and everyone was like. dehumanizing him and treating him like he couldn't understand us but like i knew he could? so i hung out with him and tried not to put pressure on him while also acknowledging that him being quiet didn't mean he was stupid. ended up cuddling with him. at some point he got upset and overwhelmed with everyone and was trying to work through something and everyone kept bothering him so i was like let him go and have a break (<- horsegirl moment, i connected with him and Understood Him, i could fix him type thing but in a normal way) but my sibling (<- studying to be a psychologist) kept going after him and was like i'll get him to talk <3 and we got into a fight about it at which point i got sooooo distressed and like. sick? like physically sick. and other things happened in different orders but i don't remember and can't explain it all, but me and this guy were close now.

anyways then the dream shifted, i knew i was dreaming and then woke up (<- didn't actually wake up but thought i did) and was going to post about it on tumblr because woah transgenderism but got a snapchat from my friend and i checked it, and they said (<- in response to a previous snap i apparently sent them) woah how are you literally so masculine transgender or smth along those lines. and then i went back to sleep because i forgot to post about it (<- was literally still dreaming)

the next dream (sort of same dream) had me and my family going on even more of a trip and visiting different people and one of my teen cousins who was roman roy from that one tv show was a little douche so we started roughhousing and joshing around and i got him in a headlock and teased him and he and his friends were like bro we never did anything to you and i was like ? okay? but you were being a little bitch and now you'll think twice before doing that to someone else who might not stand up against it like i did. and then we laughed and kept going and my family got in a bunch of inner tubes and boats and like. four-wheelers and were all being pulled in one caravan up a deep stream by a tractor and i was teasing my little sister and tossed one of her flip flops but it didn't land on the paddle board behind us so i dove after it and got both of them 'cause the other one dropped too, and they were inflatable? same material as a pool float, they were actually really neat.

i think it was at this point that i actually woke up ? but it's unclear? and then went back to sleep

the next dream was a semi-continuation of that dream where we were traveling and for some reason i got separated from my family for a short bit, and ended up in an airport with charlie redwinesupernova. we were about to leave and explore when i started being like no, okay, something is really wrong because my upper lip is Actually Swelling (<- must have been irritated beforehand? it wasn't a surprise it was just worse than i had thought) and felt less like a normal impact bruise and more like a cyst or something. it got increasingly worse and i felt lightheaded and dizzy like i was going to pass out, but like, in a drugged and / or infected way, not in a normal calm way. so i was like shit this is actually bad, and january was like oh fuck. i'll ask around to find the nearest hospital. at this point i'm bleeding slightly and a nearby person sees how stressed out i am and gives me a handful of large bills and also their wallet? and i'm incredibly out of it so i take a few and hand them their wallet and say that i don't know how much the hospital bill will be, but i have some money and i'll repay them what i can afterwards, at which they wave me away and express their concern and it was actually really sweet. i'm crying in the dream from fear but also from how touched i was at that

so some stranger tells charlie there's a youth hospital at the mcdonalds, so we head there because even though i'm an adult we're pretty sure they'll take me since i'm still young (?) but the entrance is like. well, to get in it's sort of like those play place tubes but at first it's an incredibly long slide and there's various parts where it's clear i'm too old and i almost can't finish the slide / almost slip off (because it was like. miles above a city ??? and there weren't rails???? because it was made for kids. who wouldn't have that issue????) / almost get stuck after the slide when i'm in the plastic mesh tunnels and shit.

we finally reach the communal entrance where there's an assistant supposed to point kids to which entrance to go into by age+grade, and she is NOT helpful to us even though i should really be in the er at this point (<- bleeding a lot more from my mouth, still swollen and infected and at this point i've figured out that somehow my tooth got pushed into my jaw? head? something, and am actively getting sick frequently)

and somewhere along the line i started worrying because i left my id card in my siblings car on the trip, and without it i don't have insurance or identification.

it's somewhere around here that i assume i woke up and posted ??? about my dreams on tumblr. i think. it's unclear but makes sense considering i posted at 5 soemthing and had one more dream last night that i recently woke up from.

the final dream was about my friend being at a summer camp and me also being at a summer camp and visiting my old summer camps and somethiing something. whatever. doesn't matter because what really matters is that they had two lovely murals of me at the camp (<- in the way summer camps have photos of past campers and use them as advert for the next summer camp)

anyways. i can point out how every single one of those themes ties into a real world anxiety or situation i'm going through and it is both incredibly funny and just. weird. i haven't had dreams this vivid in ages. i feel like i went on a Trip. like. a mental psyche trip.

It's 6.30 and I'm prepared and in bed 🫡

#miranda talking shit #It was nice yesterday but like... I slept maybe two or three hours... We went to bed 9.30 and It took forever for me #I dozed off once. 3 AM... Couldn't fall asleep... Doozed off and alarm blast #I was just touching the guy half the night #He was snoring and sleeping and I was rubbing his back and arm and shoulders #I'm so touch starved it's wild how I react when I have gotten open permission to touch someone however #I'm just like... Naw i can't stop now I gotta hold your hand pet your arm and rub your back #I thought I disrtirbed his sleep bc he... Usually breathe pretty deep and slow but I asked in the morning and he was like :) I slept well #Great buddy. I was holding your hand and touching your chest and rubbing your belly and- #Now thinking about it it seems so weird but like.... #As someone who just gets hugs from her mom every other week and hugs from one friend I see once per month #I don't get to touch people and no one touches me... #Plus the guy is Big ™ muscles and length and I'm more used to... Ladies who are softer and yeah #Anyway... It was very nice. Many highlight reels to go through in my mind #And he said I could come back so... Believe it Naruto #I'm so easy to please. I get cuddles and hugs and to touch someone...? Bitch I'm coming over asap #I was willing to come by tonight again for it but he wasn't up for it
