lmao the neo clone I played over a year ago that had a toxic discord server, bot scandals, and a completely wrecked economy from day 1 has a writeup on r/hobbydrama now
#it got even worse somehow#I stopped playing once I found the 2nd bc the 1st's atmosphere sucked hard#comparing that and the one I play now is actually a fascinating study bc tl;dr the first had basically no features on launch#the main way to make NP was a very limited amount of dailies which. obviously. could only be done once a day. and you may not even win from#the next best method was restocking morphing potions. but only if you were quick enough/had the money to buy it in the first place#and the profit relied on it being a pet people would actually want#so you could easily lose money buy impulsing an unpopular species/colour combo potion you could never resell to anyone#popular combos were obviously snatched up quicker#and when I snatched I mean “all but confirmed rumours of a select few users making restocking script bots”#people had nothing to do and got bored so naturally they started fighting#that wasn't actually very tl;dr but you get the idea lmao#reminder: day ONE#the second site: added 10 daily jobs to do from the start for common restockable/junk items which could net you about 100k easy.#people actually made spreadsheets of the job items and set up shops of them in bulk for people to buy at a fair price#also a simple-if-tedious card game that pays out a cap of 50k and only costs 50np a round#you have more pet slots instead of neo's traditional 4#which meant people could now dedicate spaces to more “unpopular” pets they'd never considered before instead of picking and choosing#(for instance I have a royalgirl buzz! never really bothered with buzzes before then)#so more morphing potions get sold

Wish people stopped to think I am making self hating jokes when I say them I am happy with my ugly big crooked nose or my body hair or my natural thick eye brows etc. I think they are very characteristics and fits me well.
Like yeah I hated them when I was growing up now I don't also think they are aesthetically pleasing but them being ugly is something I like and I am not coping or accepted my fate.
But also I understand it why because like yeah if someone told me same things I will be also thinking they want validation.
Anyways a oversharing about me I like some ugly parts of me being ugly. Some there is ones I don't like too. But it's not a problem

I have this mafia Charles hurt comfort idea. Pretty platonic but somewhere where Charles sees her and is mesmerized and slowly creeps his way in the readers life. This is till one day the opposite mafia figures out there’s a weak spot and they take and rough her up and he comes and saves her will all “Who did this to you” trope etc
A/N: I love this, because it's platonic and I don't write that often
You don't know how Charles came to be in your life, one day you were working at your restaurant and serving him, and now here he was eating your chips on your coach.
It was weird to see this man, one who for some reason were scared off sitting on your god ugly couch wearing a very expensive Gucci suit. "Charles?" The man hums and stops shoving the chips in his mouth and cocks his head to the side. "Yeah, babes?" You roll your eyes and chuckle, Charles knows damn well you wouldn't date him, but that didn't stop him from calling you babes or baby.
"What are you doing here? Don't you have a meeting or something?" You move from your kitchen and sit down next to Charles, pulling your legs up to your chest. "Yes, but I wanted to see you first." "To do what? Eat all my food." You snatch away the bag and he whines at the loss of his salty cheat food.
"Maybe, but np, wanted to let you know I have to go to France for a little bit." He shrugs, and you don't pry, Charles always told you when he'd be out of town and that the normal person who followed you, yet something you weren't supposed to know, would be following you. "How long will you be gone?" Charles smiles and pats your knee, rings on display.
He wore one that had an insignia on it and never took it off, you still remember when a shop clerk who was rude to you saw it. The shop clerk froze and when Charles turned and smiled you can still see the way the color drained from his face.
"I'll be gone for about a month or so, you going to miss me?" He grins and you shove his head slightly both of you chuckling. "No, I'll be free of your being a bother. And I'll have my chips to myself." Charles giggles, but stops as he clears his throat getting serious.
"Promise me, that you'll be safe, don't talk to strangers." His face stone cold and you snort. "Yeah should've listened to that advice. Then I wouldn't have a stranger sitting on my couch." You joke, but your laughter is only met with a stern gaze. "Y/n, you're my best friend, I'm serious please don't do anything crazy." He pleads and you nod your head.
"Of course, Char," You untangle your legs and move into his lap and hug him. Charles relaxes and wraps his arms around you and pulls you close. "I'll be back, don't worry." Kissing your temple.
----------------------
"Anything else for you sir?" You smile at the creepy Italian man with big curly hair and round glasses on his pinched face. "No, thank you," You nod and quickly walk through the dark restaurant and shiver feeling his eyes on you still. "You alright?" One of your coworkers ask, worry evident in their tone. "Yep, just the usual weird customer." They nod in understanding and move away going to check on their own tables.
Your shift finally ends, and you shiver, shaking off the weird feeling of being watched. Tightening your coat around you, you jump and then giggle when you realize it's your phone vibrating. "Hey, Char," You knew it was him, his shadow must've told him you just left work. "Hey, gorgeous. How was work?" He asks, and you smile, missing having him beside you and walking you home.
"It was fine, the regulars, and then some gu-" The phone is ripped from your grasp and you scream but it's muffled by a hand closing around your mouth. Two men shove you into the alleyway hearing a crunch you whimper knowing they've destroyed your phone.
You want nothing more than to have Charles here, as pain explodes all over your body.
---------------
You don't know what happened, but the soft beeping has your body aching just wanting it to shut up. "mumph," You grumble, warmth is suddenly on you and fingers tracing the lines of your face. "Baby, shhh it's okay, you're safe." Opening your eyes, the best you can with them swollen you see a blurry image of Charles.
"Who did this to you?" He whispers, voice filled with anger and sadness. "God, I'm so sorry," He whispers and moves lying down on the bed with you. You whine, sore all over but it feels good to have Charles's scent and warmth all over you. "Missed you," You whisper, and Charles chuckles and cuddles closer to you. "I missed you too," He whispers and you drift off into sleep.
"Sir, we found them," Charles doesn't move and just nods his head. "Rip his head off," Charles growls and presses a delicate kiss to your temple. "Rip all their heads off for all I care,"

A sketch of Gov in the new episode 🐶! I always kinda imagined Gov to look pretty much how he is portrayed in the episodes tbh so I never bother to make him that much of a separate design 🤔 BUT also this is an excuse to educate y'all on federal land. It will be under the cut for those who wanna learn.
What does Federal Land mean for a state?
Well, this is something I think a lot of folks in here (the fandom) needs to know, because I just see people jump to conclude Gov is horrible towards Nevada. That is not the case.
This is just the basics, but federal land literally just conserves, manages, and protects natural resources and wildlife. For example, national parks are federal lands. You'd notice this because of how western states tend to have more wildlife than the east. And how federal land is mostly administered by agencies such as the BLM, FWS, NPS, and USFS, which all are catered towards handling wildlife and resources.
Federal land also tends to consist of land that states cannot easily manage or utilize, which for Nevada it's pretty easy to notice, as most of Nevada is semi-arid and desert, meanwhile land more available to use, like by rivers and other water sources are not usually federal land.
Historically, up until 1976, you could easily just claim a homestead of hundreds of acres! The Federal Government just ended up taking what nobody else really wanted because they couldn't live there anyways. It's why Nevada has so much Fed Land, and now that land is managed by agencies; and in Nevada's case, most of it is under the Bureau of Land Management. This is why Nevada's population only resides in no more than 20% of the land. Because they bought it as they could use it and live in it, even then they don't use much of the full 20% that is accessible to them.
And it's not as if federal land is completely off-hands, people hunt, hike, camp and fish in federal land all the time! Take Alaska for example, who's 60%+ federal land, in terms of Alaska's size that's a LOT of land, yet Alaska is one of or the best state when it comes to fishing and hunting either way, and Alaska's natural beauty remains largely untouched and unbothered (at least directly).
There is also the fact that if a crime is committed on federal land, it instantly becomes punishable to a higher degree than it would on state grounds, as it becomes of federal interest.
So no, Nevada being 80% federal land isn't bad for him. It's just Gov taking up and protecting what Nevada can't really utilize or manage easily.

✰ DAZAI who was a well known playboy amongst mainly women, yet someway somehow had gotten you, a man, to fall for him. it was surprising yes, but you didn’t bother telling him due to your fear of rejection so you continued to act friendly towards him as usual. but of course seeing him flirt with other women just made your blood boil. but you couldn’t do anything due to him only liking women so in your eyes you didn’t have a chance. but of course your feelings began to bubble up to the surface making it unbearable so you decided to tell him after encouraging yourself for a bit. “you like me?” dazai asked with a raised brow as he looked at your flushed face as you nodded your head. for just a second you had caught a glimpse of disgust written on his face, but it had to be your imagination…right? “well, i like you too (name). you’re a sweet guy.” he said as he took your hand in his, a smile gracing his lips causing s small hiccup to leave your mouth. “you..do?” you asked him, your words a little breathless due to you being so surprised, you thought he would’ve just rejected you instantly. “of course i do, you make my days better. you even shine as bright as a thousand stars, darling.” he said, his voice soft and alluring as he cupped your cheek making you lean into his touch. oh how happy you were to have the one you loved most accept your feelings. but such happiness has to go one way or another, let it be in the future or present.
✰ DAZAI who started off as overly loving to you began to grow more distant as your relationship progressed. you’d catch him glancing at any women that would walk past, but that’s normal, it’s dazai after all. when you first told him how you didn’t like how he was looking at other people he would just scoff and tell you not to worry about anything and how you were being insecure about yourself. and so from that day on you’ve kept all that sadness and angry bottled up since being with him was a one time opportunity, you didn’t want to fuck it up. you loved him too much to be the cause of the break up. all that came crashing down once he took you to some random party he had gotten invited to. once the two of you were there it was like he vanished but you didn’t bother going to look for him so he stood by yourself to the side with a drink in hand looking around. that was until you caught a glimpse of dazai talking to some random women. then he kissed her. a deep passionate kiss. by now you didn’t know how to feel your mind was racing and you felt like you were going to cry as you watched him take her upstairs.
✰ DAZAI who didn’t know np how much he fucked up entirely. by now you were just sitting in a corner, mind blank and numb till he came back with a smile. “there you are, i was looking everywhere for you!” he said with his signature smirk, you felt like you were going to throw up. as he reached to touch you, you slapped his hand away almost instantly catching him by surprise. “what wrong love?” he asked with a nervous laugh as you stood up. not even a second passed when you slapped him and that’s when everything went quiet. the music stopped, the loud talking turned into small whispers and gasps, there were even phone cameras on recording the whole thing. but you didn’t care in the slightest. by now, tears had already flowed down your cheeks like a never ending waterfall as some hiccups left your mouth. “i’ve been nothing but loyal to you, i treated you like you were something of value to me, i made sure i put you first over everyone i knew and this is how you repay me?! cheating on me with some god damn home wrecker?!” you yelled at him as you continued slapping him, letting out all of your frustration, anger, and sadness onto the one you thought loved you back. “i bet you didn’t even love me to begin with!” you said before landing one last hard slap onto his face leaving a red hand print. dazai hadn’t done anything and allowed you to slap him and yell at him, he knew he was in the wrong too. “no..i didn’t truly love you (name)…but please listen to me—” “you keep that mouth of yours shut before i sew it shut!” you shouted at him as you wiped away your tears. “we’re over, i don’t want you texting me, calling me, asking my friends to leave messages for me, none of that shit you understand?! do you fucking understand dazai?!” you screamed at him making him quickly go quiet before he nodded his head. “i understand…” he said, his voice cracking a little as he watched you leave. the others there all looked at dazai as they began to whisper and eventually the music continued and everyone continued talking to one another, but the atmosphere was suffocating.

I was tagged by @sanguineerose to post a lil snippet, so here ya go:
“Is it because it’s convenient?”
Evan never spoke after sex, they usually turned into their sides and slept in their preferred positions, so his voice startled Barty out of his usual post shagging fog.
“What?”
“The reason why you’re fucking me,” Evan said clinically. “Is it because it’s convenient?”
Barty turned so quickly that his head spun. He knew Evan was trying to make it sound nonchalant, his eyes ice cold while he observed the ceiling, not betraying anything. But Barty knew better or he thought he did.
“Where’s this coming from?”
“Well, you fucked Regulus before me and he’s our roommate, so it’s not like it was hard maintenance for you, we all know how much you despise having to work for it every time you’re in the mood and Merlin knows you can’t keep a relationship to save your life, but then Reg started dating James so you didn’t have easy sex anymore and now you’re fucking me so it’s not hard to connect the dots that…”
“Lemme stop you right there.” Barty interrupted him in a ruder tone than he intended. “Nothing about this is convenient. What the fuck, Evan?” He sat up, the comforter slipping from his torso and baring his chest, Evan’s eyes trailed it instinctively as he also sat up on the bed, using the headboard to rest his back.
“I don’t see what’s wrong with what I said.”
“You don’t see…” Barty’s eyes widened as he laughed coldly. Merlin. “I hope you're fucking with me right now, because if not I’m gonna lose my shit.”
Evan spread his arms mockingly. “By all means.”
Barty stood up at once. “I’m not doing this. Not with you,” he put on his pants without bothering to find his underwear. 
Barty had taken his anger out on other people his entire life. Mostly on people he did not care for, he was ashamed of admitting that the most damage - or the only one Barty cared for - was the one he’d done to the people he loved. 
Barty had never learned how to love. 
His mother had tried to teach him, but it had been overshadowed by his father’s indifference. 
Barty’s love had teeth. It bit anyone who dared come close enough. 
There had never been a person Barty loved that he hadn’t hurt. 
He’d done it to his mother when she didn’t deserve to bear the anger he held for his father. 
He’d done it to Regulus when he needed to let his frustration out during their teenage years. 
Until Evan. Barty refused to do the same to him. 
He couldn’t. Not to Evan. 
Not now that he finally had him where he wanted him.

USPS & Amtrak are best friends
they're both things that really should just be taxpayer-funded government agencies and yet have been semi-privatized and somehow also expected to make a profit because neolibs are the worst (amazingly, the USPS actually did make a profit until 2007 when they started having to set aside employee pensions 50 years in advance which is just such an obvious ploy to destroy the post office)
anyway i think USPS is far too powerful of an entity to ship with anyone. on close inspection they appear to be made entirely out of paper-mache. they are the trickster archetype of the government, always rambling across the land, talking with everyone, hearing and telling all tales there are to tell, and they never stay in one place for very long.
AND THIS IS WHERE AMTRAK COMES IN
THE MAIL TRAVELS BY RAIL
amtrak is always stressed as all hell and constantly looks like he's just been through ten miles of bad railroad and he just wants to get people places why is that so hard why does the world make this so hard why are these freight companies all so damn mean etc etc
USPS's near-constant presence is just about the only thing keeping Amtrak from cracking under the pressure because let's be real anyone would if they didn't have a friend there to help them. every time a train derails Amtrak goes to cry in the caboose and USPS comes to sit down next to him with a nice hot cup of tea and a hug and a couple stories they've heard on the road and tells him that it'll be okay, that life will go on, and that this isn't the end of the world.
and maybe sometimes they go up to the observation car, and look up at the stars and wonder how NASA's doing. or maybe they look out at the landscape rolling by and talk about what NPS and EPA are up to these days. and perhaps they think of everyone else they haven't seen in ages
USPS, of course, has been struggling to make ends meet for the last 15 years, not that anyone knows that. they're the rock that's always there for everyone and they don't want to bother anyone else with their problems, even though they really probably should.
i call it Mail by Rail and i will defend it with my life.
You somehow managed to make propaganda out of whatever this government agencies fandom stuff is called!

Finally back home!
So the “testing” was literally a brief 30 min convo where she asked some clarifying questions from my intake form and then I did the WAIS-IV. That’s it, just the WAIS. The psychologist did tell me though that she isn’t interpreting my scores on the typical IQ scale but is looking at how my own scores compare to each other. The psychometrist was taking times I think in between lines and for each problem, so I’m curious if they will be looking at how I fatigue and my error rate as time goes on for some tasks like the processing speed ones.
I also hate the general knowledge questions because how tf am I supposed to know the circumference of the earth around the equator in this setting if I have never not once heard it? I tried doing the fermi problem way of rationalizing it but I couldn’t quite scale what I know to be ~300 mi to the equator in my head. Whatever. And like. I give 0 shits about any European historical monarchy (or history in general- why bother remembering specifics when the internet exists) so my brain has pruned any of that information I may have gotten 15 years ago and thus I couldn’t tell you that stuff. I always hate how it’s administered because I have a VAST knowledge of anything sciency (you know, things I’m interested in) but nah if you cant remember who one monarch was and then can’t remember a geography question then who cares how much science info you’ve retained.
Anyway I was expecting that computer based attention test but nope just intelligence testing. And I won’t find out concrete results for 3 more weeks so I’ll see the NP before then. I was hoping to get some answers and be on a first trial medicine before I go to my rural site (one month from today) but I guess probably not. And I guess that’s also if they see patterns of ADHD in me. Which they might as I tend to do poorly on processing speed and working memory tests, I just don’t know if the effect size will be large enough for them to agree that yes I have adhd.

what's the age gap like in the reporter au? love the bit you posted!
age gap is the same as normal i just think marc feels it a lot more… like in real life i don’t think it super bothers them (though i DO think marc is able to hold a more complete picture of the power imbalance wrt to the MEDIA between them now as he’s gotten older) like i think the second marc won a WDC he was like okay you are my equal :) np at ALL for him.
BUT. this marc never made it to the premiere class. hasn’t raced since he was a teenager. has had a MASSIVE blow to his ego and identity… truly like. losing the ability to race for marc is always going to be a traumatic and transformative experience… so he’s dealing with allll of that as he picks up this new career, which he HAS to make work, and he’s sitting across from his hero valentino rossi but instead of sticking it to him on the corkscrew at laguna seca he’s looking at someone who has everything he’s never going to get. so i actually think the age gap i felt a LOT more here just bc marc never actually got to measure himself against vale and win…

love letter
they receive a love letter in some way
characters: Mitsuya, Chifuyu, Ran, Rindou, Izana, Sanzu
note: Hi! it’s not been so long but I still kinda feel bad haha sorry. I just suck at living lately. it doesn’t sound so good but yeah 
Tumblr media
Mitsuya 
this boy is perfect, it’s sure he already received some but still flustered every time it happens. 
no matter if it’s given face to face or in his bag/locker, he’ll love it sm and keep them - even more if it’s unsigned even tho he would have known who this is 
i can see him having a secret admirer and in this case he Wants to know ! 
he won’t force or search people if it’s just one but when he recognize handwriting he’ll want to know  
he’ll probably fall for the person just with that and we’re almost sure that this man doesn’t care about appearance so yeah, np with him 
if he ever find out who this, it’ll be weird at first to put a face and a voice on the person behind those letters
but he’ll face them one day anyway to ask them out
Chifuyu
he’s been dreaming about it okay, no matter how he receive it
this boy trained and waited all his whole life for this 
on d-day he will obviously failed at keeping his calm and act cool but he really tried
he’s a blushing mess no matter if they give him face to face or if he finds it - but if he finds it he’ll freak out and just llslsls yk ?
if it’s an anonymous letter, he WILL try to find them and he for sure work it out (i believe in him) 
when he does, he’ll see what he’ll do base on how they appeared to him and with some times
Ran 
use to it pt.2, it probably happened a lot in high school
if he got a love letter one day, and he knows who it’s from, he’ll tease tf out of them
if think he can get mean and talk shit about people if he doesn’t find them attractive or special
he can start to play with them then just ghost them and never give an explanation 
but, if he actually take a real interest in someone, i think i would be rather kind with them
like, asks about their schedules, their passions, things they like in general
the tease would still be there but less intense bc he’s a caring guy when he actually appreciate people 
in general, he’ll became sweeter and really attentive too
Rindou 
use to it pt.3, high school thing too
he probably prefers when people do it face to face, cause it prove they have guts - even tho it probably bother him 
but on the other hand, he also kinda appreciate when it’s indirect but signed 
i’m sure he would hates it if people don’t because it seems like a weak behavior 
it boost his ego tho, he surely loves it a lot 
he’s use to straight up stop people, or tease a bit, because he doesn’t know them yk 
if he has some time to observe them and all, maybe he’ll considerate if he want to talk more with them or not
Izana
would be surprised pt.1 
he’s feral and has no boundaries, i don’t think anyone ever dared do that - on the outside he’s scary af
so if someone he doesn’t really know gives this to him one day, he’ll be surprised but in a good way (?) 
idk if he’ll let them come into his life tho, even if he can be interested
he has big issues, and i’m not sure he’ll let people know him easily - or at all 
maybe if they try to go slow and step by step according to his pace, after some time he’ll let them
i don’t think he’s reluctant to casual social interaction in general and he can kinda play to see how they are and can be
if he think they ever deserve his time, he’ll take some more time to know what they can give him and let them in
Sanzu 
would be surprised pt.2
when he was younger i think people were intimidated by him so it probably never really happened to him and now he’s just dangerous as hell- anyway
with all of that i think he’ll be surprised if someone give him a love letter one day but in a good way and maybe he won’t be mean or snobby about it 
like wow someone has an interest in him even if he’s that reckless ? maybe it’ll pick his curiosity too
not that he would show interest but that doesn’t mean he pass it away easily 
even with his whole image, i’m sure he likes pretty things and a pretty handwriting would probably make him read it multiple times, just to process every word
he’s not the type to search to know who this is tho if it’s anonymous, but if it’s signed, same as others, he’ll take time to know what to do before
but would probably fall just because they pick an interest in him - as long as they’re not annoying too

i don't think there are many people morally worse than david paulides. he's either so lost in the conspiracy sauce that he doesn't realize how reckless he's being, or he knows what he's doing and doesn't care.
if you don't know who he is, he's a bigfoot truther from the coast to coast am extended universe. he has a series called "missing411" that consists of 10 books and 3 documentaries, that focus on missing persons cases in public lands. and he's not saying that bigfoot or bigfeet are involved in this, but it's pretty heavily implied given his body of work. and the national park service won't answer his FOIA requests, so clearly they are hiding something!
the nps does comply with FOIA requests, they just won't comply with his FOIA requests because he's a shit-stirrer and they don't want to deal with him.
if it were just him publishing books, i'd just giggle at the crankery and move on. but it's the documentaries that bother me. the first one he does is focuses on children, and it's so slimy. it's on tubi and you can watch it for free if you have absolutely nothing better to do.
i think he does the matt walsh thing, as in booking interviews under deceptive circumstances and through a third party. otherwise, no one would probably talk to him. it's funny because the movie is bookended by the disappearance of a kid named deorr kunz jr on a camping trip, and there's nothing all that mysterious about what happened to him. the jacket that he was supposedly wearing when he disappeared was found in his parents' old apartment, which leaves two possibilities. one of them is that his parents killed him before the camping trip, and it was a hoax. the second is that he died accidentally on the trip, whether by knocking his head, drowning, or accidentally getting his hands on a not legal substance (people doing drugs on camping trips is something that has been known to happen) and it was an unplanned hoax. but you can sort of tell that they don't know what the documentary is going to be for, because the parents keep insisting their innocense.
where it gets fucked up is when he interviews jaryd atadero's dad, because it's very clear that he never got over his son's death being ruled as unexplained. it's very clear that this guy is mentally destroyed over this. the prevalent theory in the case is that he was attacked by a mountain lion, but he doesn't buy it. he still keeps his son's skull fragment in his old bedroom 20 years later because that's all he has left of him. this guy is the high water mark of grieving parent and not someone you want to pimp out for your conspiracy theory documentary. same goes with the people who were involved in the investigations and search and rescue efforts and are clearly haunted by it. leave them out of this.
even outside of directly involving someone, people with missing family members tend to latch onto stuff like this from the outside, especially when it involves kids. i couldn't tell you why. whether it be dennis martin's parents talking to clairvoyants in the 60s, or missing411 now, the people who latch onto otherworldly explanations the hardest are the people with personal ties to the subject. and i'm sure he knows who the obsessives are. doesn't sit well with me.

Oh ho ho, I am WEAK when it comes to hot, insufferable, evil bastard men being protective of their partner.
Merrick is very powerful but not entirely immune. How would Mr. Nasty Man handle getting word that a large mob is gathering with the intent on harming his precious little witch? :3
Hit me with any details you'd like, I am here for it all /gen /np
~Lola, Oliver Simp Extraordinaire
Welcome, one and all, to another Ted Talk of be ranting about MV!Oliver and his issues 💖 /lh
Logically, Oliver knows Merrick is perfectly capable of handling/protecting herself and her home. But that doesn't stop a jolt of something from rushing up his spine at the bone-chilling news.
Slow, poisonous rage oozed into his bloodstream.
Oliver's familiar with rage. It's all he ever feels. But he's never felt it so intensely, to such an extent where he needed to hunt down the people responsible and tear them apart with his bear hands because no one is ever allowed within a ten-mile radius of her, especially if they plan on approaching with the wrong intentions.
By the time he'd arrived to the gathered group's destination, his rage had deepened, tinting his world a bloody crimson.
He didn't need his men to raise a single finger to help. They knew his anger would be enough.
The useless pawns are easy enough to kill, and by the time the leader of the group is the only man left, he's drenched in the blood of the same citizens who'd thought it such a marvelous idea to join a suicide mission. He could usually mask his emotions perfectly, but his glare is menacingly obvious and his chest heaves from the exertion of his murder spree. Blood drips down to his fingertips as he corners the leader of the mob into an inescapable space.
He doesn't kill him quickly. No, he wants him to feel every second of his punishment.
Fury darkened the edges of his vision until all he could focus on was the all-consuming need to make the bastard in front of him feel as much pain as possible. Oliver didn't bother lifting a single weapon. He did just as he had said: he tore him apart with his bare hands, his blood singing with exhilaration every time his fist came into contact with his face and his grip became tight enough to break a bone, relishing in the sounds of his victim's cries.
Soon enough, the sound of bones cracking gave away to the wet sound of bloodied flesh.
Images of how Merrick could've been hurt or worse fueled him, and he didn't stop until the body beneath him had been long dead for a while.
Even when he was dead, he still didn't want to stop. Fury encircled his soul so tremendously he wanted to scream.
The mangled corpse is hung up in the town square for all to see the day after. A warning to any soul who dares enters the woods, what'll happen when you conspire against what belongs to the Villain.
No one touches his witch.

The only reason Shielder is even a special class is because the fgo writers will never let anyone (even another shielder) turn out to be a better character or better shielder than Mash. The class is stapled to Mash and it probably won't even be given to Galahad if ever gets added to fgo. And I'm not saying this to bash Mash btw. It's just how it is unfortunately. I'm in the boat that Mash's whole character arc is weak to start with but not gonna stir things up again.
Shielder is a special class for lore reasons, but I don't think it'll stay locked away forever and given Mash is completely free and the best in her niche, I don't think it's a huge problem or anything seriously worth complaining about if it is. I do have a few thoughts on the state of Shielder, though, which basically boil down to "if they're gonna do it, they're gonna do it soon".
Mash is no longer the best defensive Servant. LB6 aside, as far as the plot is concerned she's been locked to the heavily nerfed Ortenix since the Lostbelts started and she's been steering towards a more offensive build since Olympus. Once her new kit is complete (and presumably good), there is no way she'll remain a looping defensive NP-spammer - at least, probably not in Story Mode. At which point - why not introduce other flavours of Shielder?
Type-Moon has given potential other candidates for the Shielder class - Galahad, and I believe Achilles. I think Ajax was stated as well. If this was going to stay a special snowflake class, I don't think they would've bothered. Nasu's mind is an enigma, however.
Strange/Fake also has it's own special snowflake classes; Watcher and Gatekeeper. Other Fate properties have streamlined their unique classes into FGO's class system; Faker>Pretender, High Servant>Alter Ego, Voyager>Foreigner (for some fucking reason), so if we ever get S/F added to FGO and if S/F ever does anything with Gatekeeper... yeah.
Assuming FGO will address the Galahad Question and not just relegate him to the power-up zone, that'll probably be soon, and would be the optimal time for new Shielders to start trickling in. Also, if we get Shielder powercreep, no-one would actually have a leg to stand on if they were annoyed about it being Galahad that creeps Mash.
After all this time it would generate a lot of hype, and it would sell extremely well. After the circus of Pretender servants we've gotten this year, I just... don't think it's off the table forever.
On Galahad as a Shielder
As the resident Galahad fanatic truther, I've been heavily considering his potential trajectory in FGO if/should/when he becomes playable. Obviously, unless something radical happens in the plot, if there are other Shielders he'll be one of them. And if there's only going to be one other Shielder, it'll be him. Anyway, compiling what we know about Galahad, his potential classes (barring shenanigans) are -
Saber - Galahad has two swords; the Sword of Strange Hangings and the Sword with the Red Hilt. Galahad Alter has two swords, at least one of which is the Sword of Strange Hangings, and it's hard to say if that's the sword either Galahad or Mash possesses. That said, we've seen our Galahad in combat three times. He did not use his sword in any of those fights - not even in Lostroom, where it's his actual body, and he has the sword. He uses his hand-to-hand and his shield. Interesting design choice that he would intentionally ignore it.
Lancer - the Lance of Longinus is Percival's Noble Phantasm, so. Post LB6, I just don't think this is on the table anymore.
Ruler - barring shenanigans, if he's not a Shielder my money is here. While not a Saint, Galahad... well, if anyone's going to qualify. It would also line up pretty well with the Ruler class' element of "neutrality" and Galahad's apparent indifference towards the Human Order (so says Merlin). HOWEVER. There is a spanner in the works, and it's a big one; that Rulers aren't supposed to want the Grail. Galahad obviously did, but Alter said that Galahad never actually had a wish and seemed to be searching for it because that's what he was supposed to do - his ~destiny and whatnot. Realising this changed the trajectory of Alter's life, but I'm unsure if, given the circumstances, that would disqualify Galahad from this class or not. And if it does...
Shielder: Galahad has been conceptualised as a Hero of the Shield ever since the Tachie days. The two skills we know he has - Mana Defence and Lord Camelot - are obviously defensive skills, and given Lord Camelot is referenced even in other works I find it extremely unlikely (barring shenanigans) that Galahad won't get it. It's also Galahad's abilities that qualified Mash (and, once upon a time, Tachie) for Shielder in the first place, so...
Yeah, I just think it's his most likely option at the moment. Who knows, maybe he'll manifest as a BEAST and stay in NPC hell forever. I guess that's possible...
Interesting Miscellany:
Galahad's Lord Camelot is stronger than Mash's. In Lostroom, Galahad uses a Noble Phantasm to actively reflect Saber Alter's Excalibur back at her - not an ability Mash has ever had - and his shield, Around Round Shield, was conceptualised to attack any non-Galahad folks that touch it. This is interesting because it provides an obvious higher-tier alternative to Mash's B+++ rank Lord Camelot... and Bazett was released early this year with a taunt/counter NP, so it's definitely on the table and would be a well-established Shielder upgrade. It's also a pre-established skill that makes Galahad similar to Mash, but distinct enough to make it worthwhile making him a separate Servant.
Artoria Avalon, via her Knight-of-the-Round-centric NP Round of Avalon, is currently the only unit in the entire game to have Anti-Enforcement Invincibility, and that's now been the case for two years. FGO is definitely the kind of game to withhold skills for lore reasons, so at this stage one has to wonder why. Never mind that Round of Avalon draws visual parallels to both Lord Camelot and Morgan's Lordless Camelot, and she in turn also has a lot of both story and conceptual/design connections to Mash/Tachie/Galahad. That's... potentially less relevant than the first part, could just be recycling mats, but while I already have the tinfoil hat on...
LB6 took "Mash and Galahad will separate forever and that's GOOD because he’s MEAN" out back and shot it behind the shed. It's possible they'll reconcile their skillsets in some way (FK Lancelot’s formchange... exists as a template), or Mash might grow beyond him to focus on the Black Barrel, but "Galahad Bad" is no longer the flavour of the year. If that's the case, Mash just might stay our Galahad stand-in forever and he doesn’t drop at all. We might also get GalahadAlter!Koharu, which would just be the cherry on top! /terrified sarcasm
But the LB6 mats indicate there are Galahad materials in existence because apparently he was in the OG LB6 draft!!! So he’s real!!! Or at the very least, has an NPC sprite sheet...!

Kinda like the junk thing about stories about yandere and other characters that are generally charismatic but insane is that like... the stories usually go the same way. It's either that the other character are clueless or that the mc is hyperaware and tries avoiding them from the very start. But I mean I suppose that's how it's supoosed to go with horror/dark romance.
I kinda just want to read a story where the mc has an insanely high eq, but low sense of danger. They can tell there's something off about this dude. The mc has never met a serial killer before, but this charismatic dude everyone likes gives off massive serial killer vibes. But at the same time, the city they live is otherwise rather peaceful. There's nothing really happening at the uni in which they attend. So while they're receiving these vibes, they have nothing to base it off of.
While they don't seek this guy out, they don't avoid him either. He randomly got pulled into their friend group, so the mc sees him often enough. They don't act on guard, but they don't act overly friendly either. Honestly they don't even tip off the yandere's warning signals at all. They're practically an NPC in his life. He could really care less about them.
That is until he begins noticing little things here and there. The girl that had been ruthlessly pursuing him oddly gave up on him out of the blue. The classmate that'd consistently butter him up to copy off of his homework started bothering other people instead. Before he even realized it, people started treating him like a human being instead of putting him on a pedestal. He was losing his control over the group and he had no clue why.
It takes longer than he'd like to admit, but eventually he zeroes in on the mc. The mc is the only outlier in this equation. They're the only one that didn't become obsessed with him, either in infatuation or hate. Really, he should've realized it earlier. You were known as the older sibling of the group, after all. Everyone came to you when they needed to vent. And at the same time, you never treated him as something more. You never obsessed over him, not in infatuation and not in hate. Really, if anything, when you two were in the same room, you treated him as nothing more than an NP–
Hmm...
And then the obsession begins to start, on his part at least. For the first time, he begins to interact with the mc. He begins to pay attention to them. He begins to see them. And he is hooked. And the mc doesn't disappoint. With enough eq for days, they evade him with ease. They slip between his claws. They practically dance circles around him. And it only makes him want to capture them. To confine them. To swallow them whole. And the mc isnt an idiot. They know what he's doing as much as he knows what they're doing. They're not afraid either. They know the yandere. They know how low he's willing to go to get what he wants. They know him.
After going about it a bit, the yandere becomes shocked at the amount of control the mc has over this game of theirs. Because they know him so well, they've set the rules, the allowances, the limits. They did it without even trying. Even when he tries to catch them by surprise, the mc's handles it in stride. Even when he tries to play dirty, the mc doesn't bat an eye. The mc knows him. They know him so very well. He cant win this game no matter how hard he tries.
So he realizes he needs to change tactics.
He'll learn the mc so well he can exploit them as masterfully as they do him.
And the game continues.

for being a supposed "gag" event series every character in gudaguda is undeniably tragic and nobukatsu is really no exception. the belief that he'll never be as good as his sister so why even bother is so deeply ingrained into him, even though he is actually legitimately talented in his own right! he's a brilliant strategist and incredibly good at manipulating people, as evidenced by the things he did to support nobu in his lifetime. the number one thing he's remembered for in history is being killed by his sister (a death which he himself arranged for her benefit), and one of his np lines is his last words to her: "i'm leaving the rest to you, sister." even as a heroic spirit, he's not really good for anything except dying to support her, and he can only exist as a servant in the first place because of her unintentionally strengthening his spirit origin. and above all, his greatest wish for the grail is a simple desire to go back to when he and nobunaga could play together without any worries. fucks me up man!!!
