back in the fallout pit, fortunately my art has improved since 2016 so I can draw doctors hanging out together somewhat effectively now

#fallout #arcade gannon #my art #posting here cos the relevant oc's rp blog isn't active anymore and my main rp blog rn is vtm stuff but this last week I've drawn him A LOT #as of March Dr. Antyllus is a 10 year old OC of mine! His fallout verse consumed me entire during 2016/2017 I did a lotta rp then! #know that despite using him as my player character in both NV and Fo4 I don't consider him the protag for either - he's just some guy #with his own set of antics going on I pinned on him #I just like playing through the game as him anyway and thinking up how he'd fit in and what his responses to stuff would be as a companion

Future Louis in my canon playthrough:

I picked the nice dialogues & the non-violent options

I romanced & saved Louis + Trusted AJ.

Future Louis in my opposite playthrough:

I picked the mean dialogues & violent options

I romanced & saved Violet + Did not trust AJ

I think the portrayal of Spider-Man 2099 in Across the Spider-Verse is in-character in that aside from like Shattered Dimensions he's always been portrayed as a bit of an asshole who slips into anti-hero territory at times and generally has a "needs of the many over the needs of the few" mindset and given his specific circumstances in the movie it's not unreasonable to think he could take the actions he does. However it does kinda suck that since like 99% of moviegoers had no idea who he was before the movie came out their first impression of him is when he's in an antagonistic role and people think "antagonist" and "villain" are synonyms so now I'm gonna have to listen to people who've never read a comic saying he's a villain or isn't a real Spider-Man for the rest of time or at least until he inevitably changes his mind in the third one.

#hell you don't even need to read a comic just look up a let's play of spider-man edge of time you'll get what i mean #but yeah i saw a post that was like #''the first movie had a joke about how spider-man doesn't wear a cape and miguel has a cape they did that to show he's not spider-man'' #as if he hasn't had that cape since his creation 30 fucking years ago #he's not even the only spider-man to have one. spider-man unlimited is also a thing that exists. #even the first movie had that call-back joke where they see the peter from miles's universe had a suit with a cape #these movies have a lot of little details with deeper meanings but the cape thing just isn't one of them sorry #but yeah. play edge of time or find it on youtube it's good. #shattered dimensions is also good but miguel's personality in that game is closer to peter's for some reason #so edge of time is better for getting a feel of what he's usually like #but yeah i do think spider-verse miguel was probably more straightforwardly heroic like other versions before the whole dead family thing #and i think he and the rest of the spider society are just genuinely misguided about how the whole canon event thing works #cause like george and gwen don't die in every universe peter doesn't get the symbiote in every universe #even uncle ben doesn't die in every universe #but miguel THINKS those things always happen. that's why he got the others to believe it cause he genuinely believes it himself #and i think they all take comfort in the idea that these bad things that happen to them happen for a reason #i know that's josh keaton's interpretation for why spectacular peter joined and i don't disagree with it #that's also why i disagree with people saying that miles is The Only True Spider-Man There just cause he was the first to outright reject it #look me in the fucking eye and tell me spectacular peter and insomniac peter don't understand what it means to be spider-man #or actually don't cause i'll bitch slap you into next week if you do #miguel o'hara #marvel #shut up tristan

"BECAUSE YOU'RE SCARY."

#{ Garry: Fear of Dolls Post Game Main Verse }

[wizofwaterdeep]

plotted starter for @sanguisarcana (aka. bloodweave's underdark adventures)

Hindsight is twenty-twenty. Sharp, monstrous pain of a vampire's fangs torn through fragile skin serves a solemn reminder. Icy agony like that of a sharp knife, it throbs and aches, stains of fresh blood seeped into the embroidered fabric of his expensive robe. A new robe at that, Gale thinks to himself, utterly miffed.

Adjusting to such unfamiliar life in the Underdark could never be simple, what with seven-thousand vampire spawn released to society after Cazador's end. By the gods, Astarion certainly had his hands full. Perhaps Gale was naive to assume the spawn would cease to harm him—until now, that is—until a lost, ravenous spawn nearly sliced clean through the wizard's throat. Now he sees, for perhaps the first time, how gentle Astarion's teeth have always been, punctured in his neck.

Astarion.

Left cleaning up Gale's mess—physically and metaphorically—an unfortunate miscalculation and Gale, well, he hesitated. A moment's hesitation, a desire to spare the spawn's life, with disastrous consequences. Torn robe among them. A wizard left lightheaded and bloodless, throbbing echos of tears and scratches across his upper body. Worst of all, however, an angry husband.

“I am aware you’re hardly a cleric, ah,” he winces, “but might I suggest a bit more delicate on the first aid, please?” Oh, and that earns him a nasty scowl. "Kidding... mostly. You're doing wonderfully."

Happy Halloween! Trick or treat?

Hee hoo thanks for the ask, anon! Happy Halloween :3 A silly supernatural jaytim 3 sentence paragraph (lol) fic for you:

"For the last time, I am not getting in the damn coffin with you," Jason huffs.

Tim leans out over the polished wood and satin lining, his fangs flashing as he pouts, winding his arms lazily around Jason's neck and burying his fingertips in Jason's hair-- because he's a dirty cheater and he knows that Jason's willpower is brittle as old bone this close to the full moon. He resolves to stay strong, because if you give Tim an inch then he'll take the whole damn continent.

"You don't have to, I suppose," Tim sighs, red eyes flashing from under his eyelashes. "I'll just be here...cold. Lonely. Wanting." He breathes the words against Jason's lips, and Jason whines. Christ. The things he does for this bloodsucker.

#hehehe #even if i don't get werewolf fic finished in time for halloween #i can content myself with posting SOME kind of spooky season content for them this october lol #tim is a vampire and jason is a werewolf and they are in love #they have 'its rotten work. especially to me and especially if it's you. i'll fucking do it but christ alive' vibes in this verse lmao #big 'i deserve an award for putting up with you' energy hiding ride or die insane chasm of deep and abiding devotion #it's the vicious dog and the question of who holds the leash #and the answer to the question is 'yes' #jaytim #my writing #asked and answered #this was GOING to be three sentences but hoo boy. only 3 sentences is so hard??

I'm so fucking embarrassing over lis2 I just experienced a moment of pure, white-hot rage over a 2019 post saying that the first two eps were "nowhere as good" as lis1. I am Not making it through this hyperfixation intact.

#seriously thought what the fuck are you talking about ep 1 and ep 2 fuck SO HARD #they all do!!!! #in every game!!!!! #yes it's different but different is good!!!! #also the op of this post did at least acknowledge that wastelands also fucks #but that's literally because it builds on the first two eps #okay i'm calm i'm normal (blocked the person who said it. they have not posted since 2022) #lis verse #life is strange 2 #life is strange #why is lis2 judged so much for not focusing on side characters #discourse adjacent #the really really stupid kind #monsters talks life is strange #unfortunately

Daily excerpt from today's writing, chapter 4 of Game Theory:

‘Whatever happened to that little mouse-lad?’ Efnisien said. ‘I should like to thank him in person.’ A chill stretched sticky, clammy fingers down Gwyn’s spine. He had absolutely no doubt what Efnisien would like to do to that fragile creature. ‘That scrap of a thing?’ Crielle said, smiling at Efnisien. ‘Come, you can think of better things to do with your time. Besides, what if we ever need his skills again? We can’t have anything untoward happen to him.’ ‘Why, I’m not anything untoward at all, Aunty Crielle, you know that,’ Efnisien said, grinning. ‘But I take your point. Meanwhile, look at my cousin, all grown up, torturing a waterhorse. I should like to see that. Perhaps you might take me down there, so I could give you some pointers?’ ‘I have been a war general for centuries,’ Gwyn said coldly, ‘and then War General to Quercus the Oak King for centuries more, and finally War General of my own Court, who defeated the Nightingale and Augus Each Uisge myself, and brought peacetime to us all. If you think I need tips on torture from you, who cannot even last a tour without turning on his own for the mere delight of crude bloodshed, you shame me, and you shame yourself.’

--

This will not go into the AO3 version, but the book version. Chapter 4 now has 2k extra content between Crielle, Efnisien and Gwyn.

Gambling Apocalypse Tenma AU

As I rewatch Kaiji I inevitably end up wanting to combine show I like with other show I like and stuffing fav characters into show. So here we are.

This was uh going to be a short summary type thing but I accidentally wrote a novella about it sorry

This AU starts off with a much more depressive Tenma. After Tobio's death, rather than immediately pour his grief into developing a robot version of his son, he recedes into himself, psychologically paralyzed, likely turning to alcohol to drown out his anguish.

His mental state is taken as an opportunity within the Ministry of Science to have him ejected from his position; Tenma was never the most well-liked director, and there were those with ambition to usurp him that would jump at the chance. Not that he especially cares in his state.

He's eventually dragged out of his stagnation by Ochanomizu - who, inadvertently, becomes the very catalyst pushing Tenma to develop a robot replacement to his child. This was not what he meant by encouraging Tenma to fill the void left by his son.

...But, well, he is no longer the director of the Ministry of Science. His access to limitless government funds and resources for "scientific research" has been cut off, and this is a project he cannot finance on his own. He can't ask Ochanomizu for help, but...interestingly...a representative of a certain shady organization known as the Teiai Corporation reaches out to him, offering to finance and support his project. A sane and well-minded Tenma might think better of it, but grieving and desperate, Tenma accepts their offer and is able to create a robot in the image of his beloved Tobio. For a while, there's joy in his life.

But the bill, as ever, comes due: Tenma must pay up, and the very resources that had been at his disposal will certainly ensure that he will, or else. Of course, he doesn't have the money; instead, he is given a choice. He can relinquish the robot Tobio in order to wipe out his debt - the child is a sophisticated and powerful robot, after all - or he can participate in a certain illicit event hosted by the Teiai Corporation.

It's nothing major...just a four-hour gambling cruise with a collection of desperate, damned souls that were also swept into debt with Teiai. The conditions are simple: Those who choose to participate are given a chance to clear their debts wholesale should they win. And should they lose...?

Well...no one really knows what happens to the losers seized by Teiai. It's said that they labour away their debts under Teiai's watchful eye and are freed once their work has covered their debts, though it's rumoured that most perish before they reclaim freedom.

There's only one answer Tenma can give, of course; he's not willing to lose Tobio again.

Thus is Tenma's debut into the Gambling Apocalypse, where he must become cutthroat in order to survive; if he wants to see his son again, he must make choices that will doom the hapless to miserable servitude, with a nonzero chance it ends in their death.

He survives the cruise, but of course, it was hardly enough to clear his debt; the cruise was never going to be the end of it. Teiai doesn't let go of its victims that easily. He will be called on again: this is a weight that hangs over him, all while he returns to his son Tobio. The same hands that have pushed innocents into hell must now be the hands that can embrace his child.

He wants to protect Tobio from the truth and enjoy what peaceful moments he's allowed with his son, but it's difficult. It's difficult to be the parent of a child who cannot understand the danger that looms ahead; this "happy" home is not to last. Tenma angers quickly and easily. He turns that anger onto Tobio.

As Teiai's games become more and more vicious and unrelenting, as his conscience holds onto the last vestiges of thread that remain, Tenma even threatens, once, to give the boy in: it would all end, then; the debt would be clear and no longer would he have to endure Tobio's childish annoyances, his ungratefulness.

The next time that Tenma is beckoned, Tobio takes matters into his own hands. He does understand, now; and he would have, if only Tenma had bothered to explain sooner. If it's a debt that needs clearing, he will work. He will help his father clear his debts however he can. Of course, it's difficult to find work as a child; but a circus troupe finds amusement in the idea of a child robot, and takes him in. He is whisked into a certainly unpleasant working situation, but he remembers his father, and what he must be enduring. Tobio, also, will endure.

When Tenma returns, Tobio is gone.

All that held Tenma back from becoming something monstrous has disappeared. All that kept him going has disappeared. When he is called upon by Teiai, there is no knowing what sort of person might come out the other end; whether a monster clawing his way to freedom regardless of what actions he must take, or a desolate husk surrendering defeat.

There is still a light, however dim: Found by Professor Ochanomizu and rescued from the circus, Tobio - now Atom - is able to shed light on the situation which Tenma took great pains to keep hidden from his old friend. With time running out, Ochanomizu and Atom must do what they can to save Tenma - from Teiai, and from himself.

-----

UHHH and that's a wrap!!!! I couldn't quite decide which way Tenma would go after hitting Rock Bottom in this AU, and tbh it would really depend on the kind of mental state he's in at the time. On the one hand I like the narrative of Ochanomizu and Tobio racing to prevent Tenma from crossing a line (actual outright murder probably) - or having to pull him back into humanity (and yknow, his ensuing penance)

But on the other hand having him get sent to Teiai Evil Hell Prison would be interesting because a) there's a lot of narrative potential having Tenma faced with what Teiai is doing with the people that lose the games and b) need him to decimate the foreman at chinchirorin Kaiji style

Tenma's whole character is definitely a much different guy in this AU, he starts off pretty sympathetic, the guy you wanna root for, he just ends up having an inverse character arc where he gets worse instead of better. His conflict with "Tobio" is also kind of reversed, less about being unsatisfied with Tobio as a son and more not being able to handle the fact that he probably has intense PTSD now and isnt capable of coping with it in a way conducive to being a parent (or like, coping at all)

Anyway that's gambling apocalypse tenma!!!

#umataro tenma #long post #well that became a novel. sorry lmao #in my mind teiai's evil hell prison in astro boy verse would probably be quite a bit different than regular kaiji #like. fuckin. weapons manufacturing for teiai or something like that. or scary bad danger robots. horrifying concept #Tenma would be a valuable asset to them whether by giving up Atom or by losing in death game hell and being forced to work for em #and if he dies? they can just take atom #get him out of there. #I'm also thinkin of who Teiai would be represented by.....the snakey loan sharks u could easily put skunk in there. #but who is an evil fucked up sadist billionaire. theres probably someone who could be fucked up enough I just dont know offhand #and im allergic to mischaracterizing in AUs lol im not gonna make a slightly bad guy into an evil freakguy. so. Hyoudou is just himself. #if you squint this could be considered an 80s astro boy AU..has a cruise arc & not actually giving atom away #but man. that tenma LEAST of all deserves this fate lmao #do I want to write fic of this? yes. will I? not likely! #I can just smell it dude this would be some crazy fuckoff 100k shit I am not ready brother #also it would just be soooooo so so so so so edgy. I dont really enjoy writing intensely grim stuff w/ little to no respite #also tbh. I am too stupid. LOL. I cannot write clever gambles alas

⥫ @skullkxd asked: ⥭ ⥫ “Hello neighbor.” They are reading off of a clipboard. “Do you enjoy helping out your community? If so, I have a deal for you. Introducing, skull scouts.” They hold up a box of cookies in their other hand. “We are a nonprofit community using the money you donate to enrichen the lives of those less fortunate. Would you like to buy a box of Skull Roulette cookies for the mere price of ten dollars?” ⥭

"Oh, a small, brand new non-profit, I take it," Cryano laughed and reached up to run his fingers along the brim of his hat. "Once upon a time I found myself dabbling in such things. These days I mostly support those from my own, profiting business."

Though that wasn't to say he didn't have cases of the underprivileged finding their way into his school. After all, he built Blueberry on skill, not money.

As his fingers reached the side of his hat, he skillfully flipped it up and off his head with a flourish, "That being said, I've had an awful lot of experience with these sorts of organizations, and it's not easy to pull wool over my eyes. I'm familiar with the vague sort of language you've been taught to use, my young friend. Hehe, or read. So tell me this, what sort of less fortunate are you supporting? And in what way? And also... What is in a roulette cookie?"

If the poor kid was intimidated and ran away, they weren't cut for this sort of business anyway. No matter what he did, he was doing this infant organization a favor.

@oathwilled

Had you questioned Gale weeks ago, standing upon his balcony in Waterdeep once more would seem merely a fantasy. To smell the briny sea air, to feel the gentle breeze cascading across his face as it tussles his brunette hair. The sunset is a sight for sore eyes, beautiful oranges, and reds melding together so perfectly one would assume it’s an exquisite painting come to life. And yet… it’s not the most breathtaking view this evening.

“Truthfully, I never dreamed I would be lucky enough to return home again. Between the tadpole and the orb, my rather unwelcome visitors would make any man feel as though his days are numbered.” But Gale’s days are now plentiful—a second chance—thanks in part to the very man he speaks to. The first time Paerin accompanied him to this very spot had been nothing more than an illusion, a good one, but an illusion nonetheless. Oh how things change, Gale is no longer the man he was that night. A man terrified of death and burdened by the literal weight within his chest.

“Thank you for accompanying me.” Gale smiles softly, though a simple thank you feels impossible to express just how much this means to him. “I can only hope it’s even more astonishing in person for you as well.”
