First time posting a fic here! Let me know how I can improve :3

It was a normal afternoon. As normal as an afternoon in this goddamn house could be. You don’t know how long you’ve been here, been kept here, but you’ve gotten used to the “norm” here. On Saturday afternoons, Strade usually had the living room reserved for his shows. He would sit on the couch with a few beers and watch whatever he wanted, it was his tv time. You were allowed to sit with him if you wanted to, but to be quite honest; you didn’t really want to. Not only were the shows he watched boring, but you didn’t really want to be seated next to… him… Even though you got as comfortable as you could get with Strade, he was still your captor. He was still dangerous, mean, and sadistic. He’s still the same man that has shoved blades deep into your skin, slashed you open, used power tools on you, etc… sure, right now he’s not doing any of that, he actually is behaving really normal right now, but you can’t just forget all of that.

You had your own room at this point anyway; it was small but comfortable. You spent most of your free time there. Either that, or in Ren’s room. You really liked Ren’s room, it’s colourful and comfy. He didn’t mind you being in there as long as you didn’t disturb him while he was watching stuff. You didn’t really care for any of the animes he watched, but you would occasionally watch with him when you were really bored. One thing that Ren had that you didn’t was a laptop. Strade doesn’t trust you enough yet to give you your own, you still had to earn that privilege. However, a privilege you did earn was having books and art supplies. You expressed to Strade some of your interests one day after he was done with work. You didn’t really expect him to do anything with that information, but to your surprise he came home with a sketchbook, a notebook, pencils, pens, and some graphic novels. These were your only other sources of entertainment. 

You were sitting on your bed, sketchbook open. Doodling some random characters onto the pages, when a feeling of unease washed over you. You felt like something bad was about to happen, you usually do. Maybe it was intuition, maybe it was gut feeling, but you were usually right. You paused your doodling and listened for the TV. It still seemed to be running a program, which means Strade was still occupied. You tried to brush off the feeling, getting back to drawing a character’s hair. With the free time you had, you often spent it making up fictional characters. Some were antagonists, some were protagonists, and some were in between. You had a lot of fun with them, making up silly stories to distract you from the hell you were living in at the moment. You were lost in thought about what personality to give this new one, when your door slams open. 

You jumped in your spot, yelping and spinning around on your bed to face the door. Your heart dropped as you examined the intruder; it was Strade. You gulped as you stared at him, looking over his body language. He was tense, hand still resting on the door handle as he stood in the frame. His chest was heaving, eyebrows furrowed, as if he just ran up all the stairs as fast as he could. To anyone else, he would look just plain ol’ frustrated, but you knew what that look in his eye meant; he was sexually frustrated. You felt worry build up in the pit of your stomach, worry for your safety. He came into your room, which means he wants you to help him, which usually does not go well for you. At all. 

“Get up, we’re going to the basement.” he announced, staring you down with hungry eyes. You paused your movements for a moment, evaluating your options. You really didn’t want to go down there. You know he hasn’t had any new play things in a while, so he’ll probably go really hard with whatever fucked up plan he had. Your injuries had just started to heal up, you didn’t want them to get replaced so fast… after you failed to move to the door, he spoke up again. “Don’t make me drag you.” you squeeked in response, immediately getting up from your spot. You didn’t want him to get the remote out, or pull you down by your hair again. You hovered close behind him as he led the way down, glancing over at Ren with begging eyes as you walked past him. You both knew what was going to happen, and Ren would rather it be you than him; which is fair, since you’d rather it be him than yourself.

After finally making it to the basement, you hesitantly stood in behind Strade. Usually you’d already be tied down or restricted in some way, but right now you weren’t restrained by anything besides the collar. He stood at the workstation, hovering over a few tools, probably trying to pick which one to use today. You gulped as he finally turned around with rope in his hand. You felt an urge to run hit you, realisation smacking you across the face. You knew this was going to happen, yet you walked right on down here! What were you thinking! You could feel your knees buckle as he approached you. “N-no- wait!” you pleaded as he grabbed you by the hair and shoved you to the ground. “It’ll be quick~” he coos as he ties your hands together behind your back. 

You attempted to struggle just a little bit, but he tied them really tight. The friction around your wrists reminded you of the first day you arrived here. You shake the memories out of your head, you’d rather not think about it right now. Before you could even really start to think of something new, Strade threw you down onto your back, your head colliding with the pavement. You groan out in pain at the contact, a ringing starting up in your ears as he pulled your legs and hips towards himself. Swiftly, he pulled out his favourite hunting knife from his back pocket and held it up to your thigh. You couldn’t stop yourself from shrieking in pain as he pushed the blade down into your skin, leaving a deep gnash on your upper thigh. You were surprised at how quickly he got into it. Usually he took it slow, he liked the build up of fear in your eyes as he taunts you; he must be really desperate right now. 

Before you could register it, he sliced again, this time lower. He continued to slash at your soft flesh three more times, huffing and getting off to your whimpers and pained noises. You expected him to do more, maybe cut your stomach or chest while he’s at it, but instead he tosses your legs to the sides and stands up. You look up at him through teary eyes, confused. I mean, sure, you were grateful he stopped so early but why? Why was he done? There’s no way that’s all- you were pulled out of thought as he yanked you up by your hair, earning a raw cry of pain from you. You just barely managed to get onto your knees when you felt a blow to your stomach. Falling backward again, you heaved, gasping for air. You didn’t even catch your breath before Strade sent his booted foot into the side of your abdomen, sending you barreling across the floor. Wheezing at the impact, you coughed harshly, a copper taste filling your mouth. Your vision was blurry with tears as you rolled over pathetically, trying to stabilise yourself. 

Over the ringing in your ears you could hear Strade laughing. Though, it wasn’t his usual sadistic laugh, it was more breathy; more desperate. You gasped for air as he tugged up your face by your hair once again. “You’d look so lovely with a beaten face, don’t you think?” he chuckled into your ear from behind. His breath was hot against your neck as he moved over your body, positioning himself to straddle your back. He pushed down on it as he held your head tight, causing you to arche in an incredibly uncomfortable way. Desperately, you tried to move your arms only to be greeted with the harsh friction of rope. You wanted to start begging, but before you could he shoved your face down into the cement. Really hard. You heard a crack as pain engulfed the entirety of your face, blood streaming down from your forehead and nose down to your mouth and chin. 

He lifted your head back up before quickly slamming it back down again. You couldn’t stop the noises from leaving your mouth, noises of agony. Your voice cracked as you let out a hoarse, loud cry. It gurgled in your throat as you heaved, trying to catch your breath. Strade was laughing again, this time it was his usual demeaning laugh, full of sadism and enjoyment. You could feel him get off of you, letting go of your head briefly so he could move around to your front. Once again grabbing your face, he examined his work. Your face was covered in blood; the skin in between your eyebrows was torn and broken, letting a generous amount of blood drip down. But that wasn’t what caught his attention, no, it was your nose.

It was obviously broken in multiple places, mangled and crushed. Blood streamed out of it like a waterfall, coating your lips and chin, dripping down your neck. Strade couldn’t help the tent growing in his pants at the sight, it was beautiful. The mixture of tears, blood, and spit gathering and your face alone was enough to get his blood own pumping; his face burning red. You stared at him with pleading, glossy eyes, you hoped this is what he wanted. You didn’t want anymore, you were out of energy. Your breathing was heavy as you were recovering from being winded, but his was heavy because he was excited. He couldn’t contain himself, this was so hot to him. He bunched up your shirt in his fist and pulled you in, slamming his lips into yours.

You were caught off guard, a muffled moan escaping you as he smashed his face into yours, he grinded against your leg as he moved his mouth with yours. You wanted to push him away, but your hands were bound together, rope burn making the skin raw and ache in pain. A combination of both your salivas along with your blood mixing in his mouth really got him going. To him, it was a complete bliss; this is exactly what he wanted; what he needed. But to you, it was too much. There were so many sensations happening at once, you were getting over stimulated. You wanted to focus on the kiss, but your attention kept getting grabbed by both the pain of your open cuts and by the throbbing agony on your face. You could feel Strade through his pants as he grinded into you, he loved this; thrived off of this. 

He pulled away, the both of you gasping for air. Still holding your head in his hands, he licked his lips, getting your blood off of them. He huffed, staring down at your still bleeding face with lust. Your eyelids fluttered, giving him unintentional bedroom eyes. Strade laughed again before pulling your face closer to his. You were expecting another rough kiss, but instead you were met with his tongue running along your lips. He then licked up your blood, smacking his lips as he lapped it up from your chin down to your neck. He moaned into the base of your neck, his face now covered in your blood. You couldn’t think, your mind clouded with too many thoughts and feelings. 

With the combination of Strade licking and sucking at your neck and his rough grinding, you could feel yourself get increasingly more aroused. Even though you were in extreme pain and discomfort, a part of you liked it. You liked the attention he gave you, how you made him feel so much just by simply bleeding. A fucked up part of you wanted to keep bleeding for him, to keep him on you like this. You were pulled back into your senses as the warmth of his mouth lifted from your skin. You let out a soft whine at the loss of contact, to which he chuckled. “Enjoying yourself too?” he mocked. You couldn’t stop yourself from nodding, pleading for him to continue. He hummed in amusement, running his tongue over his lips to collect any remaining blood. 

“I’ll humour you, since you were so good for me~”

Odd question but fav piece of media?

Games, movies, tv shows, whatever

Not odd at all!

Hmm… I often find it hard to pinpoint my all time favourite of anything cuz I like a lot of stuff and I tend to forget anything I’m not playing/watching right this moment, but I will have a good think and try my best!

Games:

- Ōkami

I have replayed this all the way through at least 5 or 7 times I’m sure, both on Wii and the HD port on switch. (And it is a pretty long game!) I love the story, I love the artstyle and characters, I love running around as a wolf(!!!), the main mechanic itself of painting symbols is just really cool. Its just good and fun and has lots of silly/funny and a few make-me-cry moments in there too.

- Petz 4 & 5 (Catz/Dogz 4/5) (PC)

See also, I found a high quality scan of the instruction manual here (so cute…). (And that blog appears to have resources to download the games if you don’t have the original disc!)

Ok this is kinda a weird one, and I haven’t played it in a while, but when I was growing up I was so invested in this little game and especially once I found the community online for it.

You could breed the petz for basically infinite combinations of new colours and patterns, physical features, and people would do huge projects to make petz that looked cool and then put them for “adoption” on their personal website and email the file to you if you “adopted” one (I still have one of these from like, ten years ago I think, somewhere).

There was also “hexing” where you could go in to the file using a hex editor and mess with the code to modify the original breedfiles of the default breedz that came with the game, and people were making anything you could think of. Dragons, gryphons, wolves, leopards, or even just very prettily made catz/dogz to resemble real life equivalents (or fantasy sparkledogs/cats!!!💖).

Eventually someone even made a program where you visually see a representation of the pet as you were editing it rather than just like, edit this number, save, reopen the game to see what you did haha. (I definitely played with both methods of “hexing” but didn’t really end up making anything substantially complicated myself, usually just changed eye/fur colours to get like cool fantasy colours 😂) So that was really cool!!! And of course people also did it for clothes, toys (toyz?), food… basically this was like for me, baby’s first introduction to mods/modding I guess? Haha!

Anyway it just has a very special place in my heart even though I don’t play it much anymore, and I haven’t personally seen many games come close to what it had. Flightrising is somewhat close in terms of variety with breeding the dragons, but they are all still just illustrations you can’t “play with” since it is a petsite, not a game (I enjoyed that tho…I gotta remember to check back there sometime lol).

—

Ok, this has already gotten quite long so I might go think about movies/TV shows/other media separately and then maybe come back and add more later?… (maybe in a reblog or something?) I think I emptied my brain when I started thinking about petz 5 there dfjgk

Silver Talks AniManga (21/04/24)

I actually haven't watched BA yet cause there aren't any (good) subs out atm and it's prob gonna take a couple days so if I have something to say about this episode I will next week but anyway

green - new series/new to me blue - finale/completed

Anime

Jellyfish Can't Swim in the Night Ep 3

that was a really good ep, helps that I can relate to kiui a lot more than the other 3 too. tomita miyu did a great job as her and the direction was really good too. I saw the "twist" coming early in the episode and when they explained the story for the play I figured where it was going but it was still very well executed. now that the main cast has been assembled I'll be looking forward to what shenanigans they get up to

Kaiju 8 Ep2

also a good ep, think I liked it more than 1 despite a couple awkward bits that were better in the manga like the window opening. which speaking of opening the op sucks ass holy, I wasn't a fan of the ed in the previous ep but I was like "well it's just generic radio pop it's not that bad" but they really goofed it with the op huh. they're clearly desperate to make this a hit in the west considering how popular the manga is over here too but getting mainstream artists to do your op/ed isn't gonna help. I mean look at mashle, s2 was a lot more popular and even the manga sales got a huge boost cause of how much people liked the op. shoulda went with something catchier like that instead but whatever but anyway, I also really liked the shinomiya scenes, she's one of my favourites so it was fun seeing her in action. looking forward to her getting more scenes next ep and showing off

Wonderful Precure! Ep12

one of the best eps so far, to me, we even got some sakuga crumbs. from when the designs originally leaked yuki had my favourite design by far and her being a cat girl was good too. she's also the only one so far to commit violence which is exactly what I was hoping for. she'll probably stop it in the future cause of the other cures but I'll cherish it while I can. it's kinda weird that they made her blonde in the human form but I guess it's so the transformed and human form don't have the same hair colour. I love her voice tho, not really seen her in any roles except hoshi syoko from imas but that's a good one. she was also beryberie in the previous precure season so it's a pretty big upgrade to go from a side chara to a main cure, good for her. but yeah, I figured from the start yuki/nyammy would be my favourite and seeing her in action now solidified that idea even more, I'll be looking forward to seeing more of her in the coming eps

Manga

Kyokuto Necromance Ch1

this new series is by naba fusai who did aliens area a couple years ago. gave that a 4 in the end but it wasn't a terrible manga by any means. this one felt a lot better tho, you can really tell the author leveled up a lot since the previous series ended, the art is a lot sharper and easy to read. the chapter itself was pretty similar to the aliens area one but more engaging. they did a good job setting up the basic premise and giving a decent understanding how stuff works anyway, the powers system is similar to stands so that's cool, it's fun to see other people's take on araki's baby. we're gonna have to see with the next few chaps but just from chap 1 I think this could survive for a good while

Shadow Eliminators Ch19 (Finale)

Despite the 3 score I don't got much to say about this. Unlike something like ichigoki or ichinose fam which were REALLY bad so I had a lot to talk about, or something like aliens area or super smartphone which weren't completely terrible cause they had some neat ideas, I basically have nothing to say about this. The art and designs are REALLY good as easily the best part about this manga but everything else about it was pretty generic and forgettable. I would give this author another chance but they would have to spend a lot of time cooking to come up with something more compelling than this. They would probably be better off and teaming up with someone else and letting them do the story while they do the art cause, again, that was really really good and significantly better than the average series we get better luck next time mr kento, may you avoid the U19 club

Astro Royale Ch2

hey that was a pretty good chap too, it felt a lot like an early OP chap which is cool, I said on ch1 that we'd have to see with the next few chaps how this would go but if it continues having the same energy from these 2 chaps I could totally see this being the next long runner in the magazine. ofc it could go south in the next handful of chaps but it's a veteran author so I have some trust it won't

#silver talks animanga

[actual-sleeping-beauty]

i was tagged in this by @welcometololaland (whose banner i also stole) @jesuisici33 @rmd-writes and @liminalmemories21 i think? idk it was many days ago but here i go!

ONE: Are you named after anyone?

yes, my first and middle names are family names. on the one hand i think my name is quite pretty, but on the other hand i have some complicated feelings about the self-fulfilling prophecy of it

TWO: When was the last time you cried?

uhhhh, probably two thursdays ago when i realized that i'm not going to be able to go back to school in the fall bc of the *gestures broadly*

THREE: Do you have kids?

no, i'm twenty and also pretty sure i don't want them

FOUR: Do you use sarcasm a lot?

yeah. you would be amazed at how well it does not work in arabic.

FIVE: What sports have you played/do you play?

i played baseball until i was nine, at which point i switched to softball until i was about sixteen. i only quit playing bc there wasn't a chill league for teenagers. i was on my school archery team from fourth through eighth grade, and on my school's academic team from sixth to 12th grade. i also practiced jiu jitsu for a couple years in high school, before the pandemic and also before the owners of the gym i went to started being massively transphobic trump fans. i am a team sports girlie at heart tho and i want to try to find an adult softball league after i'm out of college and have some more time.

SIX: What's the first thing you notice about people?

any fun clothes or accessories! i love paying people compliments and "i love your earrings!" is a great one that doesn't comment on people's bodies. i also notice if people are much taller than me.

SEVEN: What's your eye colour?

my driver's license says blue, but it kinda depends on the shirt i'm wearing. yes, i do know that that's an annoying answer.

EIGHT: Scary movies or happy endings?

both? i pick happy endings more often but i do love a good horror movie

NINE: Any special talents?

i'm really good at calling my state representatives and jaywalking? no but for real, i kick ass at learning languages. some people have brains built for math, and i have a brain built to be a polyglot. i'm pretty sure if you dropped me in italy that within six months i'd speak pretty fluent italian, though of course italian and spanish are very similar

TEN: Where were you born?

in a hospital, but not the one any of my siblings were born in

ELEVEN: What are your hobbies?

reading (mostly fic right now), chatting with my friends and sister, crocheting/sewing/knitting, giving tours for my school. (we're all gonna let that last one slide bc i literally did it for fun during the summer one day lol)

TWELVE: Do you have any pets?

yep! my family has two very large dogs, one of whom is a complete idiot and the other of whom is an asshole on purpose. and my roommate has a cat

THIRTEEN: How tall are you?

five two :'( but at least i fit better than most on airplanes

FOURTEEN: Favourite subject in school?

in high school band, biology, history. in college polysci and arabic, with a healthy dose of spanish language literature.

i think everyone has been tagged in this, so consider this an open tag if you missed it the first go round!

#tag games

[voidwerks]

Tagged by the lovely @synins, answerin' 15 questions and tagging less than that because I generally feel like I'm bothering people!

Are you named after anyone?

I certainly am. Great-grandfather, grandfather, father, and I all share the same first name. Different middle names tho, which helps.

When was the last time you cried?

For something serious? 2022. I did cry because of a good story the other day tho

Do you have kids?

No, don't plan on it, and with how the economy+living situation is here in the US, it doesn't seem like a good idea either.

What sports do you play/have played

I dabbled in a lot of things when I was in school, but I did soccer, swimming, and even karate for a while.

Do you use sarcasm often

Yes, but if it's with someone I'm not familiar with I usually lay it on pretty thick so they catch my drift.

Whats the first thing you notice about someone?

Visually, usually hair color+style then eyes. Audibly, usually what their accent/cadence is like

Eye colour?

They've been described as 'milk chocolate brown'

Any talents?

I'd say I'm reasonably good at painting miniatures, and I used to be a fairly prolific RP writer back in the forum days. I've also got a knack for cooking, that kinda gut-sense of 'hmm needs X' or 'should be ready riiiight aboooout now'

Scary movies or happy endings?

Kind of an apples and oranges question, but probably happy endings? Just like I've got my preferences for horror, I don't necessarily enjoy all good natured movies either. But you'll probably find me watching The Princess Bride before, say, Saw.

Where were you born?

North Carolina, and then got moved a bunch shortly afterwards so I don't really count it

Hobbies?

Building/painting minis, tabletop+video games, cookin', story crafting (DnD and other world building)

Any pets?

My family has a single cat, Boots, who they got as a stray years and years ago. He was incredibly spoiled by my grandmother, but is also very un-cat-like in a lot of ways, so he's a lil weirdo, but a good lad. Hates all other creatures tho, so I can't really get any other pets in the meantime.

Height?

5'8"

Favourite school subject?

English and history.

Dream job?

Ideally, teaching something fun or creative. I'd enjoy to go back for my masters some day so I could get into teaching english, preferably something like creative writing. But if some world existed where I could get paid teaching people how to do hobby painting I'd love that too.

No worries, do it only if ya feel like it, but here's a few tags @ghwosty @protectcosette @sockythedog @baddminton @elisedylandy @sauridae @eldermindless

Are you named after anyone?

I’m not entirely sure… I have a very vague memory of my mum telling me my English name came about bc it sounded similar to a Chinese singer… but I don’t trust my memory and I’m too afraid to ask again 😬

I don’t think I’m named after anyone re: my Chinese name. Digressing here but was recently reminded that it’s a typically masculine name and that made me feel something… my English name is quite feminine so…

Wondering how my parents came to that conclusion when naming me… wondering if they knew from the start that I had both masculine and feminine energy and needed my names to reflect that or something… much to think about

When was the last time you cried?

Last night 🥲

Do you have kids?

I don’t have my own, but sometimes I refer to my students as my kids. Not for sentimental reasons tho, it’s just easier to say less syllables 👍

Do you use sarcasm a lot?

No, not at all (deadpan) (lying) (so much)

Sometimes I will deliver things in a way where even I can’t tell whether I’m being sarcastic or not

What sports do you play/have played?

God, my school valued sports so much that I’ve probably tried every sport under the sun.

Ones I regularly trained in at school: tennis, basketball, softball, netball, table tennis, swimming

At uni (all dance genres): tap, jazz, ballet

I did yoga and Pilates for a bit after graduating, but I haven’t been able to do much physical activity the past two years for health reasons 🥲 I would so love to be able to do dance classes again. I really found my groove in third year uni about it and I miss that a lot

What’s the first thing you notice about people?

Idk, their clothes I guess

What’s your eye colour?

Rich soil, calligrapher’s ink, a stargazer’s dream. The distance between our feet and the ground. The part of the ocean that lets no light because she loves us too much. The place in time that promises safety, protection, stability.

Endless, endless, and full of possibilities.

(Let me romanticise my black eyes, dammit)

Scary movies or happy ending?

Happy endings for SURE. I absolutely cannot do anything scary. I can’t even watch The Owl House bc the monsters in it look too scary 😭 I’ve been recommended it so many times by so many people, but I just cannot 😭😭😭

Any special talents?

Being naturally good with kids? I know I’m a teacher and this will sound really awful, but I………..don’t actually like kids. Obviously I still treat them with kindness and respect, and I can tolerate them enough to do my job properly. I can (and do) bond with them and form meaningful relationships with them. Takes a village to raise a child, and I’m part of the village, y’know?

Idk what it is, but kids just like me for some reason, without me having to really try. I find just being my usual sarcastic self who doesn’t hide when I’m pissed off is somehow very charming for kids

Jokes aside, it’s definitely a skill I’ve had to develop and refine, especially for teaching. But I’ve just been naturally good with kids since forever—I think being part of the eldest cousins pack in my family has helped a lot in that regard, bc most of my cousins are 8+ years younger than me. So, experience, I guess.

Where were you born?

In a hospital

What are your hobbies?

I am in dire need of new hobbies that aren’t physically taxing on my arm, but currently:

Drawing, reading, writing, baking, singing, playing violin or ukulele, sewing/patching

And this……is technically one of my jobs but I also just do it for fun: acting/scene/script analyses

Gif makers I am making out with you so hard bc i do so much acting analysis from watching individual gifs. IT’S JUST. SO GOOD. EVERY CHOICE IS DELIBERATE, and you can see that in a 2 second gif. You won’t believe how much you can take away from a fleeting, seemingly insignificant moment in a piece of cinema memorialised into a gif lovingly made by a passionate fan. Gifsets are arguably what got me into acting in the first place

So like obviously having a degree in acting means i am also just a huge huge nerd about scene/script analysis too, and it’s so TASTY being able to draw up a whole character profile, backstory, personality, objectives and obstacles, and so many more minute details. From like. A 3-word sentence spoken by a background character that never comes up again. IT’S SO GOOD. I could keep going on about this but this is also getting very long so I shall end it here

I JUST REALLY LOVE ACTING 😭

Do you have pets?

My dog :-) and 3 very perseverant fishies 💕

How tall are you?

Enough to reach the top of a door frame on my tippy toes

Favourite subject in school

Studio Art, but only bc my school cut the Drama dept while I was there :/ I did still really love Studio tho—maybe too much? Idk it definitely contributed to my arm issues bc I had to do a folio each for both Art and Studio Art (two diff subjects)

Dream job

No job. I do whatever I want. I heal whenever I need. I live free of capitalistic responsibilities. I live. I live. I live.

I tag (no pressure to do this): @noworneverphantom @fiddlepickdouglas @drifting-in-otter-space @badsalmonella

Hi! Your Hivecraft server looks really interesting! I've seen someone play on a server modded with what is essentially a first person rpg version of Sburb, but I've never seen anyone do an Alternia based map before! That's really cool!!!!! I have a few questions about it tho:

1. Will you be able to choose if you're a Human or a Troll?

2. If you can, will you be able to choose your blood colour as a Troll? Or is there some kind of mechanism for that?

3. Will Trolls have lusii? And if they do, can you choose what they are?

4. Will the server be private?

5. If it's not, will it be only PC accessible or will there be PC and Mobile versions?

6. Will you add the Minestuck mod or is this more of a 'Slice of Life, Living on Alternia' kinda thing?

7. Any unique resources like Sopor Slime?

8. Will there be any Persterchum or Trollian-like thing on to allow players to communicate?

9. Even if there isn't, can the players still have speech quirks?

That's all of my questions for now! Hopefully you'll have time to answer them!

Thank you! I've heard of people doing stuff like that but I was always more of a fan of the alternia themed world building etc. This is my first time playing Minecraft though so this project is sort of a learning experience.

Lots of good questions here so I'll do my best to answer

1. I don't think that's something I'm gonna manage for people, they can change their skins if they want or make custom models but I'm not sure that I could implement that for other people myself

2. As far as I know I don't think Minecraft has any sort of blood effects unless a mod or resource pack is installed but I don't have anything like that here so far. I AM planning to make some placeable items that look like blood splatters in different colors though

3. I can make mobs of lusii in the future that just act as animals do in game so I'm sure people could tame them and give them name tags so they don't despawn. I've already made some purple bees and I do wanna play with custom mob models later

4. I think I'll probably make a discord for it later where I can see how many people are interested and get it opened once things are more built out. It'll be open publicly then but I don't wanna pay for server hosting every month so it can only be open if I'm actually online

5. I think Minecraft in general is capable of cross console play?? I could be wrong but I'm working on PC so idk how well mobile would work especially with resource packs

6. I've never heard of that mod before tbh but I'm trying so far to not use mods and only use resource packs I'm making because that way everything can be server side and people don't have to download to join. This might change depending on what I wanna put in though. I sort of imagined more as a "slice of life thing" in survival mode. Just a fun alien sandbox for people to play in

7. FUNNY U SAY THAT I did TRY to make a sopor liquid in MCreator and technically succeeded. It had its own properties and everything

Unfortunately, MCreator only works on 1.19.2 and I've been making everything else on 1.19.3 😔 I tried testing it out in a 1.19.2 world but it just didn't wanna cooperate. I'll probably just have to wait until MCreator updates to 1.20...

8. I think just the current in game chat will be what's used or people can discord each other if they like

9. They can if they type that way sure! I think there's websites where u can basically "translate" whatever you type into a custom quirk but it won't be implemented in the server specifically. People will have to type that way themselves, same as making skins

Thanks for your interest! I hope these answers were helpful I'm not experienced enough to put in all these gui type ideas lol but maybe someday 🤷 I'll be posting updates here and there on this blog so keep an eye out 👀

#hivecraft #homestuck #ask #asks #rambles #minecraft #ive got a few things i have files for that just...havent been wanting to work lol #the sopor and blood splatter items being two examples

Playing ANE what a joy, part... another part, ep7

Guys, this episode will be mostly about Leiftan. I am sorry if you do not like him, but I find those infos interesting and well, he IS my LI so there is a lot about him today.

Anyway, Erika and Leif got a date, they meet under the tree. Leiftan offered to teach Erika some mediation's technique.

He teaches her how to meditate the aengel style, your honor! She is afraid she will enter his mind, just like she entered Miiko's once.

Um, really? You just got to know her better, and she allowed you to see her painful memories so... here, you can get to know your partner, you were yearning for companionship, for love, understanding, support... here could be your chance.

...But Leiftan assures us that neighter Erika nor him will be able to read minds durig meditation. It's a whole different thing.

LORE! It is happening, it is happening!!! We will get to know something about aengels!

Eh, basically aengels are able to see the flow of maana? But in this state they are also v connected to Eldarya. Erika didn't see anything wrong with the world, so this merge thing seems a bit too much.

He promised to never use daemonic powers...

...but went to Genkaku for our sake, hoping to protect us. However, when the danger appeared- sersea, maripods, attack of Tenjin's kitsunes...

He tried to break his vows or Erika. Damn, that man really loves her.

Just imagine. You are the most powerful creature on this world. Strong, capable, smart. You always believe you are in the right, but during last month you realised your ideas were false, wrong. You almost lost (or lost in same cases) love of your life. And now all you got- the connection to your race, parents, ancestors- is severed. You are powerless, useless, confused. And you arrived to Eel, with it's famour mental health care /s and try to carry on. No one should know it, because otherwise they may deem you useless and you will lose even their protection. You would be alone for real. Poor, murderous baby.

THE CHOICE, and Beemoov didn't give us much hints on which answer would be a "shitty" one. Suggesting him to be more active about regaining his powers gives you -5, but it still seems like an ok answer. Hugging- that's the right option.

Erika offers her help in finding some solution for him- really nice touch that she asks for his permission.

This is a really nice scene, and Erika is v good here. No complaints.

He asks her for her discretion.

+4 maana for our familiar which sours my mood. Beemoov could have ended this scene with two sentences:

-We stayed there for a while. 2 maana.

-It was so peaceful, and I knew that Leiftan felt the same. 2 maana.

...and then write canon lines: Erika has to go pick the dress from Catlady.

it's a date then.

We talk with Purriry, there is an important CHOICE (pick the one about wanting to dance with someone for illu with LI). Erika blushes and Purriry is surprisingly nice to her, while all I want to hear was:

Leiftan and Erika sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G first comes love, then comes marriage then comes...

The dress is nice, but alas, not the colours of my Imo. Will buy recolors. Too expensive, tho.

I went for a little walk and met Lance and his little pet.

A nice scene, Erika mentions that he probably didnt play with familiar... or spent some fun time with anyone for ages. Pet's name is Skala btw.

And that's fine, but scenes with Erika's pet are not. Why, you ask? It's because Skala is here to make us see how Lance has changed. That he has a softness that wasnt there (or was hidden). That he is no longer a person who murders weak, that he values lifes of even those beneath him (familiars). While with Erika we know her thoughts and we know that she is a good person and it didn't change.

...and this is something that my OC Erika would say. See, that episode has some decent writing!

We leave Lance and Skala alone, change to our new dress and then HH appears. Lots of thoughts on how wonderful HH is, how her laughter is refrehsing blah blah. But HH in this scene resembles her TO self.

Does Erika knows what happens during balls?

we got junkin all night Then after the ball its the (after party) And after the party its the (hotel lobby) And round about 4 you gotta (clear the lobby) Then head take it to the room and freak somebody

Erika suspects that answer, but decides to ask HH for answer:

I... didn't expect this. It was... OMG, this episode IS kinda good?

AHEM. When Gardienne had diverse opinion of Lance HH wasn't that happy and accepting.

Anyway, I did little walk during night just to marvel at backgrounds. they prepared night version too! I think they had bigger plans for ANE...

^This will help too.

Chrome is not happy to have party in place where Oracle has died. Karenn seems ok with this, she doesn't seem to respect his feelings... -ish, kinda? But tries to cheer him up. Mathieu admits he doesn't see the problem- but agrees it could be because he didn't even know Oracle, which, for some reason, angers Koori. She is v moody.

HH's motivational speech is about uncertain future, and how eldaryans always manage to preserve. Ok speech (for anyone who would like to add this scene for their stories- this would be a perfect moment to think about Valkyon). However, she ends it with "dance our first dance with someone who is dear to you" which is like, ok? Preschool? OFC, the first one to dance are HH and Ewelein. HH IS NOT A VILLAIN, their love is in our face, the perfect couple, the perfect, caring leader. Her sister dances with Adalrik. Interesting... Or she doesn't give a shit about HH's words and just wanted to dance ASAP. Koori tries to force Karuto to ask Zifu to dance, but because he is shy, she asked fenghuangs herself. Karuto is sad and leaves to serve something to eat. He agrees that he may ask Zifu later for a dance but still, that was a bitchy move.

And Leiftan. Who tried to leave party but for once me and Erika had same wish: to be with him. Wait, was he a bad dancer in TO? Anyway, Erika encourages him to get...closer. INSERT HUMPING FROG GIF.

And in this route their feelings and they craving for physical intimacy are quite well described. It would make sense if they slept together after ball. They had an emotional moment under the tree, they shared their feelings, they have chemistry too. Just writing this because most players said that the sex scene in ep 14 (?) was off and strange.

I think that if Beemoov decided to quit with harem aspect in their games and players are forced to pick one route quite early... then they could have written different scenarios and pacing for each route. For Lance any real intimacy (emotional at least) should happen late in the season, but Leiftan and Erika has something big going on this episode.

Ok, on this route Erika clearly KNOWS what she wants from him. I heard that in next ep she is hiding those feelings again, but here... they are for him to see. She wants him. He wants her. Erika cannot even tell to whom those thoughts belong to. The illu is ugly, but mostly because strange Erika's profile (her eyes are too close). Anyway, it WAS a rather nice scene. The end of episode. I think I will buy some maana when they will put all bank outfits to buy... and will start ep 8, but for now, that's all.

It was IMHO best episode (I enoyed first one too), and I only have minor complains. I managed to talk to each LI (Nevra was a hidden scene, Lance was optional). Karenn and Chrome were more likeable than usual, we learnt something about aengels. There was some awkward moments, and ffs too much familiar, but it was a solid 7/10. Maybe 8/10 because after genkaku all is better. Thank you all who comment, like and subs interact, it makes playing ANE much more fun :)

I tag @sapphicmadameumbralis @esewarai @theannoyingknowitall @hedwigs-art @bibaleen @feymaids @lvl1-cleric

1. Are you named after anyone?

5. Whats the first thing you notice about people?

I have no idea! Never paid attention to it. Im too nervous for that

6. Whats your eye colour?

Brown!

7. Scary movies or happy endings?

Happy endings! I dont like scary movies and avoid them. Im also the kind of person who appreciates happy endings even if others think theyre cheap

8. Any special talents?

Not really, but I often guess the time right when somebody asks!

9. Where were you born?

Germany

10. What are your hobbies?

Video games, watching shows (at this point I probably should stop listing drawing and reading bc I really dont do those that often djdhd)

Although I could count music and dancing! And singing if I wasnt paranoid about my neighbours hearing me

11. Have you any pets?

No! And not planning to get any!

12. What sports do you play/have you played?

None! I used to be in some sports club tho, years ago. Idk was it gymnastics? Sth like that

13. How tall are you?

5'5, 167cm

14. Favourite subject in school?

Hm, towards the end I was good in English. German was nice too. Art of course. Our religion teacher was cool, so that was also kind of fun

15. Dream job?

Staying at home :p I really wish I had more time.

To actually answer the question, I dont have one. I work at the library tho. I think working at a public library would be more fun, but I dont wanna organize events and do public speaking. 😭 My university library is big enough that not everyone has to do that. But idk if its a FUN job. In summer Ill finish my training, well see if the position I get after that will be too boring. I hope not! Its not terribly stressful at least

[istherewifiinhell]

okayyyy more. revisting 03s version of the 'leonardo #1' aka 'leo fights all those dudes in the rain' aka 'leo vs that damn window' aka 'one of wifis fav moments of the "i want episode were he pass away not because i hate him because i love him" variety'...

At this point i have seen. as fair as i know EVERY version of that specific moment. 90s movie (its raph actually!), 03, 12, mirage and idws (both incredible. i believe eastmans layouts for mirage, stunning. and soph. campbell art on the idw one. so EMOTIONAL). oh and its in the mobile game on apple arcade too. yeah.

and in my mind, 03 a lot of legs up, you get motion over still image for action heavy scenes, animation over live action for less physical limitations on the action, and 2d over cg, which specifically for the relavant eras on tv budgets, helps tune in the colour pallet and textures. is dark and its raining, can you can really see both. cool tone pallets and rain that just poors down the characters skin. at least in the close up shots. lol.

BUT i will admit. and oh i am not usually this person. like. kids/all ages media is gonna be the way it is. its silly to expect it to be otherwise. I WAS. a little struck. by feeling the absence of really heavy hits. like. he cant KILL people. its 4kids.... but as their throwing ya know. waves of enemies, and just using the stock animation attacks and cut away techique. its a little diminished. now it still has the escalation of stakes, gives you that sense of pronglonged exhausting battle, lets you feel both leos skill and when hes in too deep. just the composition/choreo leaves a little wanting.

THAT SAID. it IS a 2 parter. the adaption of the leo micro is part one. issue 11 is part 2. AND. OH i found out where they put all the animation! Its here. NOW this. pretty much makes complete sense when youre not me who just got sicko focused on the endurance sad boy test...

the second half is of course where you have ALL of the characters getting in the mix, an established set piece location of aprils apartment and shop. and you know, time for THE SHREDDER. to actually get in the mix. and not just get his guys to do the work. the difference is kinda wild.

you have a lot of really specific locational fighting, not cuting to the action lines background. constant awareness of where all our players are and what their doing. and when the turtles fight the 'elite guard', (about as literally as you can get to, they are mini bosses). i was thinking. Hey is this rotoscoped? cause something about the form factor of the characters, the heft of their movement, and the full body mechanics of the fighting. it feels so night and day. super impactful and very cool to see.

also what we call. casey with the good hair. instead of the flat middle part hair, they draw him with a bit of volume, some wavy texture... it really gives the impression he JUST tried a new conditioner thats really working for him... its not really here nor there. fun tho.

so. as much as i will silently morn not getting a rise leo no 1 moment (hell they could make it raph again. why not). just cause. god could you imagine? or any of the other newer animations... if you let the batturtles team do it they could get some brutality.. or if they do it in the mm show... shit.

I AM still, getting appreciation for 03 playing the beautiful game, of how you work your stories around animated tv show restrictions. just the previous arc, notes from the underground, has so much unique style of lighting, and one other shot that really stuck out to me. just the turtles repelling down a cliff, arms out front and behind, walking basically, straight down. Its necessarily such an awkward gesture, but it looked really nice, just for a short little transitional shot. respect.

#some shit #turbles... #turble redux #still avoiding agony posting. thats between me and the notes app... #ITS WORKING. so take that. agony. #mwah mwah just being on my shit

ONE: Are you named after anyone?

not really, but fun fact i was born on the anniversary of the day that the Portugal princess made slavery illegal here in Brazil, so my mom wanted to name me after her, but then my brother started calling me Anna and he wouldnt stop, so they had to name me Anna. No one knows why tho because no one asked him at the time and he doesn't remember because he was 2 and a half when i was born, so no one knows where my name came from oksaoksokas

TWO: When was the last time you cried?

Tuesday on therapy oskaoskaoksas

THREE: Do you have kids?

nope and i do not want them.

FOUR: Do you use sarcasm a lot?

not really? kinda sometimes but its not an instinct...

FIVE: What sports have you played/do you play?

All of them soaksokaoskaosk, i mean, i played basketball and volleyball more seriously, i was in the volleyball team for a while and i actually helped start my school's female basketball team, i used to be at the boy's team practice because of my brother and i was good because i played with him, there were some other girls that randomly joined, then we got the coach to help us start an actual team, i was actually captain for 2 years, that was fun, but like, recreationally also played football, both soccer and american, i was terrible at both lol, handball, that one i was decent at but i didn't like it that much, and i also had a judo phase for like, a month, and almost went to a competition with peteca, thats an indigenous origin game from around here with a shuttlecock (had to google this one lol) that you hit with you hand, it has similar rules to volley i guess? the best way i can think to explain is volley but instead of a ball, you have the shuttlecock moving back and forth the net. I also played tennis, but i didn't get used to the racket. And our track coach tried to get me to go into the track team, but i would have to quit basketball for that and i wouldn't so i never got serious about it.

15 QUESTIONS, 15 TAGS

tagged by LA's #1 Boyfriend [gn] @18minutemajor

1. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYBODY? Not my first name, but my middle name is my grandmother's first.

2. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED? Last night LOL, I got a Very Kind letter in the mail from someone I love very deeply, and I had just had a long and stressful day.

3. DO YOU HAVE KIDS? I always go "no, im not a person that counts pets as kids so i dont" but you know what. With Dai working her way through her FIFTH medical emergency of the year right now, im gonna say Yes. One. costs abt the damn same at this point at least lol

4. DO YOU USE SARCASM A LOT? I DO. but it really depends on the situation, I have a deep fear of hurting someone's feelings who doesn't maybe Know me well enough yet and misreads me etc etc. Basically, the more I come to trust you, the more of a bitch I am. /jjjjjj

5. WHAT SPORTS DO YOU PLAY/HAVE YOU PLAYED? As a kid I played Basketball, Baseball, Soccer [Defence and Goalie depending on the years] , and lacrosse. Soccer was my favorite I loved both positions and liked the coaches too, lacrosse I quit after a month because I was told the girl's team wasn't allowed to play full contact but the boys was and 12yr old me went full fucking protest mode. [which admittedly pissed the city off a bit because I was there on fully paid funding through a like "get poor kids off the streets" initiative fkladjslkgadsgl but-] My dad also tried to spend a summer teaching my brother and I to play tennis at the local rec center so he'd have someone to play with but I hated that too LOL

6. WHAT'S THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT SOMEONE? Visually its usually just, whatever's the brightest color [be that like, hair, clothes, tattoos etc] but physically im def always watching for like, "what is their level of physical comfort right now" so i can overthink it and navigate the conversation with that in mind trying to hit all the right dialogue choices for their mood like a crazy person [*Points* GAD/ADHD] /lh

7. EYE COLOUR? Gray [but blue or green in certain lights, due to like color temperature and refraction n' stuff]

8. SCARY MOVIES OR HAPPY ENDINGS? Happy endings, but ONLY if theres like. a little loss or sacrifice to get there and give it value. "feel good" movies almost always just Annoy me, they feel Empty and Dull. [but its totally fine if they are your jam. we dont yuck yums here]

9. ANY SPECIAL TALENTS? UHHH--- "i dont think so" sounds BAD lol. but maybe like "good at reading people" not in a bad manipulative way. but just in the sense of like. i tend to be the friend ppl come to when upset and confused and i watch and listen and then go "this is why you feel that way" and they are like "OH--- yeah... damn thanks that helps" etc lol

10. WHERE WERE YOU BORN? Washington DC! fun fact the hospital was since bulldozed for condos and a trader joes 💀

11. WHAT ARE YOUR HOBBIES? drawing, live music, vinyl collecting, embroidery, video games, flower pressing, reading [when i can].

12. DO YOU HAVE PETS? YES < 3

13. HOW TALL ARE YOU? 5' 9 or 5'10 seemingly, depending on which doctor you ask for some reason LOL, probably has to do with my godawful posture

14. FAVOURITE SUBJECT IN SCHOOL? ART CLASS FOR SURE, that was always the only place I liked being. if you held a gun to me and said "no electives" tho, id say English. [what can I say, im Queer]

15. DREAM JOB? I DO NOT FUCKING DREAM OF LABOR!!!! I just want to live in a nice little house doing my nice little hobbies and seeing all my friends and magically have money for all that. that said, I am basically currently doing a younger me's "dream job" though so, can't complain too hard.

Are you named after anyone?

- My first name, not really, no. But my middle name, Samuel, comes from the name "Sami," which was supposed to be my name at one point. And apparently, Sami was supposed to be a combination of my parents' names - I was almost named as a ship name, basically. But then my bio father turned out to be a piece of shit, so yuh. (Also, Samuel might be an spn reference, but I'll deny that if asked 🔪)

When was the last time you cried?

- Pretty sure it was while watching something, but I don't remember what or when it was🤔 Like a month ago with Last of Us? Maybe.

Do you have kids?

- If not counting the pets, no sir.

Do you use sarcasm a lot?

- Whatever do you meeaan?

What sports do you play/have you played?

- I did taekwondo and football as a kid. The football phase evolved into a running hobby that I still do (even if it's more walking/jogging these days adhshaja)

I also did weightlifting as a teenager and would still like to do it if I had the equipment. Or not anxious and just go a gym-

And swimming has always been fun.

What's the first thing you notice about other people?

- Copying Rebe here, but yeah, their vibe!

Eye colour?

- Dark/forest green!

Scary movies or happy endings?

- Ooo depends on the mood. Generally I prefer the 'happy ending' movies, but I do appreciate a good scary movie.

Any special talents?

- I've been told I have good musical instincts, like with the rhythm/pace and my voice. Not too confident with my musical side tho; not pursuing that in any way. The pacing thing comes in handy while video editing tho.

The other thing I've gotten positive feedback is storytelling! Literally my favorite thing in my free time is to work on the Orielo project & storytelling aspects in collage projects. Both creating and analyzing existing media are just *chef's kiss* I'm trying to be more confident and excited to learn more.

Where were you born?

- Finland

What are your hobbies?

- Writing, video editing, gaming.

Do you have any pets?

- We have our wonder trio! I had my snake Philip first. He turns 6 this year and is the most well-behaved child.

My family rescued a cat family from the woods back in 2019 and I bonded with one of the kittens pretty quickly. I was the only human he trusted and went agshsjsj😭💖 I named him Myrsky (storm in finnish) cuz he's such a menace for everyone else.

And then there's Bakugo, our tiny bagel tail akita. We got her last fall - she has grown so fast🧡

My second cat Pekka is still alive and well. He didn't take our last move well and I had to return him to my mother. We tend to move around a lot, and Pekka gets stressed easily, while Myrsky isn't bothered by traveling. I miss him, but he's much happier there💕

How tall are you?

- 172 cm / 5'7 last time I checked.

Fave subject in school?

- Definitely art and English. My only good grades throughout my academic career. I guess my grade in PE was pretty high too, but most of the school sports were horrible, horrible.

Dream job?

- Writer / Storyteller
