#I pause for food now

[atherix]

I loved Midnight Meetings. You absolutely nailed all of the character's voices, and all of their interactions were perfectly in character and very entertaining.

Scar and Mumbo both trying to claim they're normal and average guys, and Grian thinking about how humans don't have tails when he is a (former) human with wings. Idiots unite. I am so fond of them.

Very curious what Bdubs might have had to say on the matter of Mumbo's claim to Boatem...

I also remain curious about Mumbo's shadow magic and why he has it as a Turned. I keep thinking back to that one line about Mumbo wondering if he made a deal with a higher power. I suspect I am barking up the wrong tree, but I have managed to convince myself it is somehow linked to the connection between the Watchers, the Void, and the Boatem hole.

Laughing at all of the vampires being like "Scar doesn't live here? Tubbo is leaving??? How do you live like this Mumbo???"

"I wanna bring some stuff back for Etho and the others" made me laugh. I realise Bdubs probably meant the rest of the coven by "the others" but for a second I did go "how big is this polycule???"

*Looks at the whole repressed memory thing* I'm sure this will be fine and isn't foreshadowing that something terrible will happen where they urgently need to locate Blondie's coven *sweats nervously*

And Xisuma! "(Makes you wonder how powerful he is, if he's a Lord with that personality.)" Grian thinks, and I have to agree.

On that note, would you be willing to share some more details about void beasts? It sounds very cool.

Thank you so much <3 I try so hard to find their voices and hkfgkjgkfd I'm glad I'm succeeding to some degree <3 Thank you so much~

They're totally normal aren't they, the half-human Fae prince with way too much magic for his own health and the Vampire who was a Duke, a Governor, a Mayor and a Doctor who also has way too strong magic for his status? Totally normal. Okay but to be fair, Grian's definition of "human" is rather different from the Vampires' and Elf's definition. When they say "human" they mean humans and humanoid hybrids. When Grian says "human" he means just humans and not the hybrids....... for now. :) But yes they're all idiots I love them <3

BDubs just like "haha not my business!" He has no claim on Boatem after all, so <3

Mhmhmhmm yes I do wonder about Mumbo's shadow magic.... it is interesting isn't it that he's now getting involved in Watcher stuff isn't it.... hehe :)

A mate and child living away from the Coven House (manor, in this case) is absolutely unheard of for them <3 They just like "Mumbo what the fuck" hjfdskjfdkj

Oh no, you should absolutely be asking yourself how big is this polycule, bc um

Yeah Cleo and BDubs have a really big polycule <3 (the orange lines are future relationships tho- they haven't met those characters yet <3) But yes BDubs was talking about the rest of the coven lol <3

Oh nooo I'm suuuure the repressed memory thing isn't gonna come back up at the literal worst moment it possibly could, I'm sure it's all gonna be fiiiiine~

Look I am looking forward to having these Vampires go wild. Like you think Mumbo is strong right now but so far he's fought Vampires who are corrupted and/or have way too much hubris, but- well. Cleo and Xisuma 👀👀 Especially Xisuma 👀

Hmmmm Void Beasts? Well, in Midnight at least (bc Void Beasts are a thing in other MC fanfics if I am remembering correctly) a Void Beast is a creature of legend that is born and lives in the Void (which is, ofc, a central point of many of the religions of the world in Midnight), the only mortal creature that can survive there alongside the gods. Void Beasts themselves can't breathe oxygen, being evolved specifically for the Void. Xisuma can breathe oxygen, since he's a humanoid hybrid, but it's not the most comfortable thing for him which is why he wears his mask. Only a handful of people have seen him without the mask, as he only takes it off to feed. As for what Void Beasts look like- well. Hm :) I wonder about that heheh

i am in love with your sollux i think

sollux love party :]

if you’re interested heres some of my personal fondness thoughts on him.. big warning for the mega long read ahead aye

as we alr know sollux's rejection of participation somewhat mirrors dave's rejection of heroism, but even without getting cooked to completion i still find sollux's character v compelling beyond the fourth wall

as someone who doesnt get a pinch of that Protagonist Sparkle to begin with, he can openly say he wants to leave anytime…. and unlike dave, he actually Can leave the scene anytime. but he can never be truly Free from the story via permanent character death like the other trolls.

his irrelevancy is indeed relevant - he’s there so u can point him out.

while his image is intended to be a relic of past internet subculture, his role is not only about hehehaha being a Chad or a 2000s cyberforum 2²chan haxxor ragequit gamebro.

his continued existence also happens to add a Bit to the overarching themes of homestuck! a Bit that gives him longer-lasting thematic relevance compared to the trolls who could’ve had more character potential but didnt get to survive beyond the main story.

the Bit in question:

his defiance contributes to the illusion of agency (treating characters = people with autonomy). he’s “aware” of it, and that recognition is worth noting enough to forcibly keep him alive as both reward and punishment.

considering how his personality & classpect is designed its definitely a very haha thing for hussie to do LOL. he’s made to be op asf so he's resigned to doing dirty work, gradually deteriorating along the way but never truly dying. as fans have mentioned before, him openly rejecting involvement after a while of grim tolerance is like if the sim u were controlling suddenly stopped, looked up and gave u the finger while u were step six into the walkthrough for Every Possible Sim Death Animation.

but since he’s just a sim… the more he hates it, the more you keep him around. if ur sim started complaining abt your whimsical household storyline you’d definitely keep that little fuck.

but yeah i like that sollux is just idling. the significance of his presence being that one dude who's always reliably Somewhere, root core Unchanged, no individual ambitions (possibly due to fear of consequence?), and design-wise: a staple representative product of his time.

compared to dirk's character, who has aged phenomenally well into the present (themes of control + AR + artificial intelligence, clearer exploration around navigating relationships/sexuality, infinite possibilities of self-splinterhood and trait inheritance), sollux's potential is really... contained. bitter. defeatist. limiting and frustrating in the way old tech is.

the world continues moving on to shinier, brighter, more advanced automated things - minimalist and metaverse or whatever but sollux is still here 🧍‍♂️ going woohoo redblue 3d. (tho personally i imagine his vibe similar to what the kids call cassette futurism on pinterest mixed w more grimy grunge insectoid influences eheh)

conceptually-speaking,

at the foundation of it all, the rapid pace of modern development was built off the understanding of ppl like sollux in the past, who were There actively at work while the dough was still beginning to rise

thats one of the cool things abt the idea of trolls preceding humans! the idea that trolls like sollux excelled back when lots of basic shit still needed to be discovered, building structures like networks and codes from scratch, and humans will eventually inherit and reinvent that knowledge in ways that become so optimized it makes the old manual effort seem archaic, slow, and labour-intensive.

but despite information/resources/shortcuts being more accessible now, much of the new highly-anticipated stuff released on trend still end up unfinished, inefficient, or expiring quickly due to cutting corners under severe capitalistic pressures

meanwhile, some of the old stuff frm past generations of thorough, exploratory and perfectionistic development still remains working, complete, and ever so sturdy.

those things continue to exist, just outside our periphery with either:

zero purpose left for modern needs (outdated/obsolete)

or

far too important to replace or destroy, bcs of its surprisingly essential and circumstantial usefulness in one niche specific area.

which are honestly? both points that sum up sollux pree well.

dramatic ending sorry. anw are u still on the fence or are u Sick abt him like me </3

au where scar is the royal guard assigned to keep prince grian safe as he travels to a neighbouring kingdom for a peace treaty but they get ambushed and have to survive in nature until they can get to civilization <3

#and scar teaches grian how to sword fight to protect himself and maybe he lets grian win a couple times because grian is so beautiful when #he’s happy and scar teaches him how to shoot an arrow so they can hunt for food and grian literally cannot focus because scars arms are #wrapped around him and he’s whispering in grian’s ear and grian reboots when after he lets go of the arrow.. scar drops his hands to grian’ #waist…. and grian teaches scar which plants are poisonous vs safe to eat and he loses his train of thought a million times because scar #keeps just looking at his lips and grian just can’t stand it anymore when scar licks his lips… so he interrupts himself and places a kiss #on the corner of scars mouth and scar just kinda pauses and grian thinks maybe he read the situation wrong until scar cups grains face and #brings him back in and it’s so perfect and everything they’ve ever wanted and and and #sorry i’m thinking about them #okay i’ll shut up now <3 #actually no i won’t because this is my post. they have to dress each others wounds and they do it far more gently than they need to <3 #scarian #desert duo #hermitshipping #grian #gtws #hermitcraft #trafficshipping #au concept #royalty au

(Going insane boinkinh one AU in my head)

Hey hey hey

May I interest you in

(Slowly slides my FaaF AU towards you but void just Disappears without a trace one day before the accolade)

#thylacines can talk #faaf au #i love this au very yummy. a very fun twist on how Flower's dynamic with their parents would progress afterwards #the vessels live but the void exits their bodies in quite a violent manner (extreme pain and literally throwing up an entire person worth of #void). Flower was on guard duty and theyre found barely conscious in a pool of rapidly evaporating void. passes out seconds later #PK also had the displeasure of experiencing extene pain and burning as void forced its way out through his skin <3 And his moulds all melted #and evaporated. after the initial shock wears off theyre hit with “Oh No #the vessel“ and rush to find them. Well somebody else was already looking for the royal pair about this #Flower wakes up dazed and in pain in their father's workshop. their stomach hurts their throat burns and they feel lightheaded. the entire #place is considerably brighter than they remember and in they can hear two faint voices in the background but theyre too preoccupied with #examining their now pure white hand in shock to focus on anything else. until they hear their mother say “My wyrm they're awake” and #suddenly their parents are by their side. Now the two have no idea what void leaving their body might have done to them. Are they still #hollow? are they still dead? do they understand anything are they sentient? or was what was done pernament even without the void? do they #have the mind of a child if their sentience was restored? or do they remember anything? So WL stays by their side and helps them sit up #while their father goes to grab his tools. She's trying to keep them calm and comfort them but theyre still too disoriented to pay her much #attention. Until their father checks their breathing and they yelp audibly from the cool metal contacting their skin and suddenly they seem #much more alert. theyve never experienced true coldness before. PK quickly apologises and tries to be gentler with them. Theyre breathing #properly and they have a heartbeat. And he just pauses for a long while just. listening to their heart beating. Many emotions to be had #after the exam's over he asks them point blank how theyre feeling. And Flower looks up at him still seeming a little disoriented. and then #they lower their hand to their stomach and mutter 'My tummy hurts...a-and my throat burns'. It's to be expected after the way the void #left their body. so he goes to grab them some water and meds and they also ask for food and a mirror. And after he returns they just stare #at themself in the mirror and pull on their bangs for a while then blurt out 'I have your eyes' when PK asks if everything's okay. And he #and he almost chokes up as he replies 'Yeah...Yeah you do'. Flower eventually spins a lie that they remember everything but its all distant #and blurry. Like they were not aware until now. They figured it'd be better to not break their hearts #And now the three have to figure out how to be a family while PK is also scrambling to find a new solution to the infection #oops i meant to only give a brief rundown in the tags which is why it was in the tags. but i got too invested KDHDKFB

i never knew that i needed or wanted my orange peeled for me before

#i’m visiting my boyfriend for a while and he does so much for me i’m not used to it #he opens doors for me. pours drinks for me. serves me food. makes me coffee in the morning. he even feeds me when he thinks there’s a good #bite that i want #and yesterday he took me to michael’s and bought me yarn and crochet supplies #now i’m crocheting him a mushroom while he plays a game with his cousin #i grew up doing everything myself and doing things for other people so it’s really new and weird having things done for me #the last time we saw eachother he told me about how i pause whenever he does something for me like i’m not used to it #because i’m not you sweet man!! #anyways i’m very happy right now #non sims

Hate how I didn't even think until now abt how zelda was alone as a dragon for so many years until the present. I wonder way too much abt how everything was for her and esp now as a dragon like mineru did say you lose yourself completely iirc but reg the tears shed do I believe it's not fully true. Maybe depends how strong your spirit is. Like yeah she can't really communicate well anymore but she recognizes us and her eyes. Her eyes I still can't get over them they're so full of emotion that's absolutely her eyes. Like. You're still inside that dragon when you become one if you try your best to remember is what I think (or want to believe). It's 5am I am not going to try to explain my already barely coherent thoughts better. Too much possibilities where I think some border on denial. I am a fluff not angst person. Anyways I wonder how long all those years felt what do you do as a dragon did the sages try talking to her dragon form or like anything-

#totk spoilers #rent free in my brain huh #I almost play 24h without pause hylia help me #(well minus for like. necessities like food) #still need to beat the story #I cannot believe I seriously considered her going through time or smth smth time power shenanigans #I completely forgot the sword needs a lot of time to get power. rip me. #I am not a fan of angst I like fluff stuff why is my brain just absolutely occupied with dragon zelda #mmmmaybe bc I suprisingly quick accepted it already. at least I can paraglide next to her and all #also maybe I forgot a lot that I read and know abt the timeline bc I think I wreck my head too much abt that too #I got the hyrule historia but like. how does botw tie in again. I think abt it too much it's just for fun damm it #I say since hours only this then bed and now it's 5am #I am awake since 7 and play since what 8? 9? #Absolutely insane how loz got me in a chokehold again but I lately don't even touch pokemas for daily missions #Obv in the back of my mind 24/7 but I feel so odd when pkmn in literally any regard isn't the thing that gets constantly #shaken around in my head with little focus for anything else #In other news I would die for penn and tauro is also neat wanna snatch his hairstyle #also zonai are one of the prettiest races ever. would love to be one or some of the zora ones #anyways all I got is 'I wonder if' #I like. barely talk abt such things it's such a new refreshing thing and I'm sorry I talk mostly for myself #(such things being speculations hc whatever I mostly just kept to myself bc my ex bff just did not care. yay.) #(so fuck if I know much abt fleshing out n all) #a wild lux appears

if i do go w sakonji being the owner im gonna pull that naruto gag for kakashi where every image of his face is perfectly obscured by some random object

leaf. bird. a large beetle. some paper flying in the wind. light glare. someone walking in front of him. a bag of coffee thrown across the shop. someone else's hair. speech bubbles. him facing the other way. etc

#kny x tokyo ghoul au #urokodaki sakonji #m tryna think abt how to change the storyline enough to fit w new characters #^silly idea that popped up while i was doing that #i think im gonna go with tanjuro died- kie overworked herself- nezuko was caught in a horrible (orchestrated) accident tanjiro found her in- #she gets ghoul organ transplant and goes home- its a slower transition than in tkg first she gets sick of human food then after a bit #the taste catches up and she stops trying to eat entirely- tanjiro's extremely worried abt her health yadda yadda- she loses herself to #hunger and goes out- tanjiro follows her worried- she stumbles across the temple demon who attacks her- #tanjiro tries to attack him from behind but gets knocked away- giyuu kicks the ghoul's head off- tanjiro immediately #covers nezuko with his own body and begs him not to hurt thema- giyuu takes pause and sniffs. noticing tanjiro's human. also noricing how #hes protecting a ghoul- yadda yadda he ends up bringing them both to coffee shop where sakonji gives nezuko a package and sends them #off with a 'come back whenever you need more'- tanjiro is kinda. in denial. not really processing. #nezuko asks if shes a monster now and his heart breaks. he couldnt believe that no matter what. #he swears she'll never be a monster to him and he'll always be by her side- they get jobs (nezukos 'job') at coffee place #im thinking maybe shinobu to take up touka's place storywise? shes (passive)aggressive towards them (& giyuu<3) #need to rewatch the first 3 eps i skipped them (dumb move) but im also thinking enmu as Sir Freakass #dont know how im gonna integrate genya now #i think i can give him & sanemi touka & ayato's line w genya being. aggressive but not as actively hostile as sanemi #originally i was gonna make him halfsies like nezuko (might still? need some ccg bitches in here) w sanemi as a dove #something something theres NO communication. everyone believes tanjiro is completely clueless except for giyuu & sakonji. when they start #working at the coffee shop everyone hides the ghoul shit from tanjiro (enabling him to stay in denial) up until enmu kidnapps him to #lure nezuko. her and shinobu beat his ass then shino tries to kill him since he Knows but when he looks at her staring him down #with black&red eyes poised to kill him he just calls her beautiful. stops her in her tracks and he notices the carnage & panics over nezuko #broken winged butterfly who stared kindness in the eye. #problem is that part was supposed to be the time genya saw tan&nezu and chilled out. if i do That^ thn i dont know how ill get to there #dont know how id shove genya anywhere in there in the first place but. whatever ill figure it out #this is fun tho #also gonna differentiate between like. character replacements w orig storyline & characters in that worldbuilding #like the KNY Clan au is its own story shit but with naruto mechanics while this is Tokyo Ghoul story but w KNY characters. KNYxTokyo Ghoul #ive thought abt it a few times but if i started replacing naruto characters w kny ones id label it different from ckan au. KNYxNaruto. yk?

It’s amazing how many things I can get done on a day where I don’t have a headache

#got 97/100 on my final #did a good chunk of cleaning #I’m breaking for food now and then I think I have enough energy for one more bag of trash #I am paused and thought about the don’t push yourself too hard on low pain days post #but I don’t know if my headaches count for that #I don’t know what causes them in the first place #I did just start a pain journal to see if I can find triggers but #I dunno #still I’m happy how much got done #and I’m reminding myself I don’t need to finish it #any progress is a victory

tbh I’m only on the first season of of Succession. but whenever i see Nicholas Braun I’m convinced he isnt acting At All. he just walks on that set 6′5″ tall head empty with the exact same exact cadence he used to speak 2 the assistant manager at his teenage service work job.

#succession #greg hirsch #the interview where he's like #'greg can afford more expensive fast food now i think. he can afford like [he pauses to think for 5 whole entire seconds] chipotle.' #do u guys remember that one

[orcelito]

making progress. im on page 17 of 27 for my final edit sweep. also... kinda running out of time lol. im trying to focus bc i RLY wanna post b4 i go to work. but i have like. an hour left lol

so ITNL update in either an hour or uh. 7 hours. hoping for an hour.

#speculation nation #itnl shit #finished the first two main scenes. so just the latter two left #need to smooth up some details with the 3rd scene bc i looked for setting details #for now i briefly pause. to fetch my laundry. and grab some more food #fuel for the brain is important!

Four lane highways all across a country are humans' most miserable creations

#posts brought to you by being at poland #listen i did not get it when yall said those things are bad #but man #the accidents are like. commonplace here #both lethal and minor #like every now and then youll see a car with a hood open #and thats what happens when you go with 150-200km/h for like 6 hours straight #cars cant take it #so they break down #we had to take pauses just because of the car problems and ended up driving slow behind a truck anyway #moreover there is literally nothing to see #there are just fields. JUST FLAT FIELDS FOR HOURS AND HOURS #and besides there are barriers often on the side of the road so you cant actually see anything #and there arent even twists and turns on the road its just a straight lane #yeah you can get to places faster but at the cost of your soul #why are we trying to go fast to places anyway why cant we be slow why must we hurry #will forever be grateful when im back home driving my car on a road that has turns and twists and ups and downs and a beloved speed limit of #90km/h #when driving a car is fun and you actually are engaded with your surroundins instead of driving a straight line for hours #most of poland ive seen so far is traffic jams bc of car crashes; fields; gas tanks and fast food places on the side of the road #sorry poland im just tired and on the A1 at the moment 💃🏻

oh the executive dysfunction hit hard after work - like i opened this text post to make a point about how i’m finding it difficult to gather up the energy to do food things for dinner, and then i stared at the blank text post for about thirty seconds before i started typing

#i also paused partway through writing but only for like five seconds or so #still uh damn i do not have the capacity to make myself do things right now huh #well the things i have on hand to make dinner with won't go bad if i order in for tonight #granted i'm trying to do less of that but maybe now isn't the time to make that attempt #wednesday evening i'll be done with the biggest stressor in my life right now so i can maybe get myself to cook dinner that night #.... except that's dnd so thursday maybe #and also working from home thursday probably? so can maybe make food earlier in the day and stuff #anyway point is if i want to eat tonight i should probably just order something
