something soooo fucking funny about the one mission in Exile now that im getting around to actually playing through it. you meet this guy Vasil who looks totally normal, he has hypermobility and a runny nose, theres people like that, thats a startlingly normal guy to have in your life as the Exile

you do him a solid and forget for years

and at this point in the game youre like well i really need an ally im on the run from my monster hunter dad (or at least some other male figure in my life i have a reason to know deathly fears heights and the ocean)... I fucked up hard earlier and now I'm in Tbilisi trying to get my old buddy Vasil to help me not die

And Vasil is totally normal about this but he's like well I would but Some Very Unsympathetic Men... well the Jews... The Jews have kidnapped my grandmother ...

and of course youre completely taken aback by this because what the fuck, why would the guys at a yeshiva in Tbilisi kidnap someones grandma

AND THEN YOU FIND OUT THE TRUTH: THAT THEY DID... And that it was a completely reasonable thing to do, and that you probably just monumentally cocked it up for everyone in the funniest way possible

because you know,, ok so you're some little old rabbi and you look at your weird little neighbour Vasil...

You make an ASSUMPTION, you know. Like ok he is a fugitive big deal we all are a little. Ok maybe he's a Grail adept or just the son of some really goated ones, and that's why he's so handsome and yet so... moist? He has the grailness about him. You just wouldn't think... well whatever listen.

So you're minding your business, and then you see your moist neighbour Vasil interacting lovingly and filially with... uh...

with her

Someone please make an artistic rendition of Vasil's grandma the Undergoer. I imagine her as a little old lady in probably Czech but possibly Georgian folk costume and a wig and glasses, except that of course she is also a horrific tangle of pulsating limbs. She has exactly the accent and mannerisms of a normal grandmother somehow except of course she's exceptionally filthy and constantly mumbling prophesies of doom

And she's just full on babbling absolutely deranged warnings of the horrors to come in public, just completely not adjusted at all to living as a human because why would she be. As a representative of the Watchman's Tree you are fully aware you have to Do Something about this.

And of course your first instinct is CHOLERA JASNA HOLY SHIT OMAIGAD KURWA SHADDAP, being that as confirmed in Book of Hours you are a type of baal shem or other occult adept concerned with keeping people safe, and the way you do this is by helping enforce the secret works of Calyptra, the Hours (divine names, kind of, close enough) that forbid the magic world spilling out on the normal one. You will be in serious trouble and so will people if something weird happens, but of course you can't expect an Undergoer to know or care about that, look at her, she's busy with her prophecies of doom and meat and things. Flirting with the mailman like that and all. Good Lord.

So obviously (thats someones grandma!) you can't murder her, but you also can't leave her as she is without telling her off politely and hiding her from the powers that be for a bit.. you have a convenient magic forest that can do that, might as well use it, right?

Depending on what you saw Vasil do exactly you might even misguidedly attempt to rescue the poor guy, except of course he's on the run from the Reckoners, he had plans in this sort of vein...

Well so you send some bored little guys with nothing else to do down with a big butterfly net, a burlap sack and a box trap baited with some tinned pilchards someone found in the kitchen (you are an all male institution of wizards in 19beforethegreatwar, none of you can cook). The whooping tells you it worked. (Horrifyingly, the undergoer whoops along. She's showing support, probably.)

Somehow you contain the undergoer (who is quite at home in the magic forest your yeshiva connects to, and claims her containment is "ok she supposes" except for the lack of meat or [redacted] or [redacted] or [you didn't even know this was something someone would conceive of doing; truly, sheydim have their own strange ways]).

It goes OK, she's well behaved, in between raving about the feast at the end she crochets and sews little hats for all the students. Mostly the hats don't eat anybody, except Davarashvili who had it coming honestly, you won't even do anything because he started it. Life goes on.

Then one evening a ratty Antaean and his chums, probably drunk off their gourds (mechanical interpretation of preparations) and armed with lord even really knows what, bust down your doors, bother your guard Percussigant, terrorize and possibly murder some people and spring her loose. As they fuck off into that good night you overhear approximately this:

Exile: So madam uh... what the fuck, how did that even happen, I mean--

Grandma: Well sonny you see first I [unholy] and then I [unprintable] and then I was pregnant : ) then i gave birth in [absolutely nightmarish] and i [this is just obscene for no reason] and thats how i had my son! and of course he was vasil's grandfather, and [antiphonal voices deliver a prophecy of doom concerning vasil personally] but to me he'll always be my little flesh orb : ) [wet squelching] I have a few digestive biscuits still rattling around in here from back there, that nice little fellow Shimon gave them to me, do you maybe want a few dear ? I could regurgitate them for you!

Where do even gou go from here, what do you do?

Now imagine you're the Exile. You go on this whole roller-coaster of odd feelings (especially if Jewish yourself, there's room for the headcanon) and moral quandaries thinking the grandmother in question is human, only to have to keep going on this deranged raw prophet's fetch quest because you're already committed

Your friend Vasil is delighted to have his weird, pulsing, horrible little grandmother back from the clutches of very unsympathetic men (they didn't even let her eat or make any small children) and you have to go along with the idea that this is a totally normal situation. What's worse, like all Undergoers, Vasil's grandma is supernaturally compelling and charming, and well you haven't gotten any the entire time you've been on the run from dear old dad

The entire thing is just so stupid and so funny. It's so stupid its so funny its my favourite caper in the whole legacy barring maybe the Knotwingknot's Nest for vibes alone

Ashfur and squirrelflight art based on a weird dream i had. Description of the dream under the cut

(Sep 26 2022)

Ok so theres a lot i domt remember and most of the dream was about other stuff but the part i wanna talk about is the obligatory Fake Game. This time it was…. Uhhhh… An experimental warrior cats brutal hard precision platformer? You played as Squirrelflight, trying to get through the dark forest after ashfur imprisoned you. (I think starclan and the dark forest were being referred to as lightclaw and darkclaw for some reason?) I think the first part of the game took place in the world of the living, and maaaybe starclan, but unfortunately that part wasnt explored in the dream

Also the whole game had these like…. Really odd and wonky fully animated + voice acted cutscenes???? And the whole game (at least post In the dark forest) had this bright black and neon lineart look to it (except the cats, who were in full color.) The designs were also VERY sparkle cat-y, and i dont think i wouldve recognized squirrelflight as squirrelflight if she wasnt being called that djdbdndh (then again that may have been part of the dark forest visual style)

Unfortunately i dont remember most of the game- i do remember a tiny bit of the gameplay but from what i could tell it was p standard precision platformer fare. BUT I DO REMEMBER THE. ENDING CUTSCENE.

So squirrelflight finally reaches ashfur, whos been trapping her in this awful dark forest labriynth. Obviously she yells at him a bit, asking what he even WANTS at this point since . Obviously this evil labriynth is Not condusive to any kind of relationship. However, ashfur seems kind of…. Unstable? Going on weird hard to understand rambling and such- and… Starts namedropping stuff like Harper Collins and Erin hunter??? He also mentions crashing the dark forest and starclan into the world of the living or something. (Also squirrelflight debatably understands what ashfur is talking about when he mentions the meta stuff)

But, squirrelflight brings the conversation back to the topic at hand, and the next exchange i actually recall pretty well. "Look, if you want to kill me so bad, why don't you try it now already?!" (As opposed to indirectly doing it w the precision platformer stuff cjcmhccmhcmg)

"Though that would make me happy… Theres one thing that will make me MUCH happier!"

…..And ashfur just kinda fucking. Claws his own face up til it Kills Him in front of her!??!!???????? The stability of the labriynth immediately starts crumbling as it was tied to ashfurs existence, and its implied this Also would cause the dark forest crashing into the other realities thing. Squirrelflight. P much has a panic attack, unable to really do anything while this happens. Theres a shot of Completely Normal clans all looking at… Idk the developers house? Harper collins inc?? Which has the rainbow flashing of the game indoors. The clan cats pretty much shrug their shoulders and leave (despite squirrelflight still being missing)

And thats how it Ends.

#suicide #<- in dream description #cats #eyestrain #blood #warriors #warrior cats #squirrelflight #ashfur #draws #2022 #ask to tag #My dreams LOVE to make scary fake media.

oh right, should make an intro post

so yeah, welcome to my blog! i probably shouldnt say too much detailed info about myself for privacy reasons, but heres a bit i can share. my name's private but i go by Cubic, i live in Unova (Castelia City, specifically), i like computers, games, and my pokemon.

speaking of, lemme tell yall about em!

Vertex

first up, my Porygon Vertex! it's my first pokemon, and it was a birthday gift from my siblings. apparently they spent a whole month searching for one, and we've been the best of friends ever since. it's part of how i can even do my job in the first place, actually! it likes playing games of all kinds, and you might even heard about it in speedrunning circles. somehow, it always manages to find new and bizarre glitches in whatever games it plays, and some of them are pretty good for skips. it's also surprisingly catlike compared to most other Porygon i've seen. not that i mind, though. whatever makes it happy!

Proto

next up is Proto, my Rotom pal! not only are they part of my team, but they're also the Rotom that powers my phone. (i do have a normal backup battery though, just in case of an emergency.) i met them one night when there was a blackout, but my computer somehow hadn't turned off. turns out they'd been living in there for over a week without me noticing! it took all night, but i finally managed to get the little guy to trust me enough to come out... and then they immediately climbed into my phone. but it's been well over 3 years since then, and we've made great progress since! they're a but jumpy and shy, but they generally mean well!

Vi is my Eevee! i got her as a thank-you gift for helping out the local pokemon center with a Rotom infestation, and she's just the sweetest thing. ...when she's not knocking over everything on my desk and stealing my chair, that is. despite that, she's still great. she's not that interested in evolving, so i've made sure to get her an everstone to make sure it never happens by accident. she likes to sit on my head/shoulders while i walk around the city, which has gotten more than a few pictures from tourists. (youve probably seen some if you follow a few travelers from Sinnoh, they tend to be the ones who are most excited by it for some reason) if you ever see me with her, feel free to say hi!

Woshua

Woshua is my faithful Dewott (named when they were younger, but they refuse to let me change it now) who i bumped into while on a short business trip down to Nuvema Town. they had climbed into my bag when i sat down to rest, and i couldn't convince them to climb out no matter what i tried. eventually i gave up and just carried on. while on the way out of Nuvema, i stopped by Professor Juniper's lab to see if she knew what to do with this random Oshawott. she was out, but her assistant, a girl named Bianca, told me that she'd been looking everywhere for the little scamp. the second she saw their face though, she told me that it'd probably be better in the long run if i kept them with me, so i ended up taking them home. they're pretty headstrong, but they get along well with Vertex at least!

???

this one's, uh... kinda a weird story? they're not actually one of my pokemon, per se, but i like to think we're friends now. for the sake of not having every world government, evil team, AND this particular pokemon get on my case, im just gonna say i accidentally stumbled across a not-so-human-friendly psychic pokemon while taking the extremely scenic route in a forest im not gonna name. (i definitely wasn't lost, i swear.) we just kinda looked at each other for a minute before i turned around and walked away, because im not stupid enough to mess with a random pokemon that was telepathically threatening to disintegrate me. theres a bit more to it that came later, but everything after that interaction is gonna have to be redacted for the sake of everyone involved, human and pokemon alike.

aaaand thats about it! if you have any questions, feel free to ask me anytime!

Give me more of the Wizard AU. Please, just tell me anything you want. I’m desperate. I just love all these kids at Hogwarts doing spells

YOU have been sitting in my askbox for DAYS because I just CANNOT THINK of a way to answer this other than "I Made This AU To Be A Secret 6 Year Slowburn I Don't Have Any Actual Plot For You I'm So Sorry"

But then I remembered the entire B-plot I'd written then forgotten about because it wasn't what I was focusing on at the time!!!! And other trivia!!!!! So here, this is for you. Thanks for the ask and for liking my AU!!

The overarching plot of the Hogwarts Wizard AU is a slow investigation of the mysteries surrounding the Black Lake, the school itself, and their Professors' history regarding both. Spender’s mystery is a dangerous creature that lives deep in the school. It escapes one year and starts attacking students, similar to CoS.

This whole thing is mostly just some Nancy Drew-level secret hunting and adventure action. It's not really slice of life, but I'm not going down the whole Ooouughgh Dark Wizards People Getting Murdered I'm A Shithead Trying To Write White Supremacy Allegories road hard pass everything here is pnat-typical stakes. They're just at wizard highschool caught up in a big wizard mystery.

some fun bits:

their first year while serving detention duty for Something, one of the main kids finds the marauders map a weird compass that always seems to point you exactly where you need/want to go, engraved only with the name 'Smith'. Ideal for shenanigans, the AC and Jang spend the next several years stealing it back and forth. Hmm. Wonder who made that!

max likes parkouring on the moving staircases

dimitri and lisa commentate quidditch games

rj wasn't from a magic family and loves taking moving selfies with the camera they brought to school

Muse is one of the paintings in the Hufflepuff common room. He thinks he can help Ed be less of a dork by giving him unwanted advice. If Ed tries to walk away from Muse while he’s not done giving advice, Muse will just follow Ed pushing aside the occupants of other paintings.

PJ is a ghost haunting the slytherin dorms, lefty is a poltergeist like peeves

Forge is a semi-sentient suit of armor that starts acting suspicious and causing trouble. Spender suspects theres something more going on, and so he basically destroys the armor and scatters all the pieces before it can cause any serious damage. Johnny finds the helmet of the suit in the forbidden forest and brings it back with him because he just sort of feels like he needed to. Forge wants Johnny to reassemble the rest of the suit, but being back in the castle is an acceptable start.

the Sphinx of Games USED to be the Ravenclaw riddle door, but with the recent development as the Sphinx of Rules kind of sticks a fork in that. but also i dont care about canon this is an AU so whatever my rules. the games are back baby

isabel, max, and lisa are the only ones who can see threstrals

professor garcia can and has been found floating in the prefects bath at 3 in the morning

Boss Leader is the worst Headmistress EVER. Isaac gets pissed cause everybody seems to know some stuff about the ministry, but nobody will tell him squat. He makes appointments with Headmistress Leader about it, but every single time, when he gets there it’s just a dummy painted to look like her. He writes an angry letter thinking she cant just dummy outta this one. He gets a response letter and its just a crude drawing of the dummy. He has no excuse, really, this has happened at LEAST 17 times

in their fifth year when professor oop teaches care for magical creatures, johnny gets riled up at a hippogryff and ends up in the hospital wing for a week with a broken arm.

yule! i love talking abt yule

ed and rj go together and they are green and fabulous and the crowd goes wild. stephen and dimitri go together bc its the stupidest funniest ship in the world 2 me and i love using it. ollie goes with a durmstrang twink hed been wizard texting. johnny fails to get a date because every attempt at asking isabel resulted in bursting aflame and running he is cringe

ollie offered to call things off with Durmstrang Twink so johnny wouldnt show up alone and totally pathetic but johnny refused on account of "never wanting to ruin a bro's chance at true love"

isabel actually ends up DITCHING midway through because people keep trying to talk to The Gryffindor Quidditch Captain Guerra Family Heir Girl and it's suffocating. she doesnt wanna network she wants to have fun with her friends. she runs into johnny just as hes coming back from releasing a racoon in the venue and they hang out for a while away from all the hubub. walk down to the quidditch pitch and talk and joke. do not talk about any feelings because they are cringe. isabel gets spotted at one point and eventually gets in trouble w her grandpa for not keeping up appearances but who cares fuck you old bitch

in the spring after max's second triwiz tournament task, jeff and professor spender are the recipients of a polyjuice potion incident. the two were found safe but unconscious several hours later. nobody knows why, or what the impersonators wanted, and they aren't found out until weeks later. everybody in school is put on edge for over a month

its not hijack sorry it ends up being two beauxbatons students. nervous at max's chances of winning the tournament, they decided to try and find some weakness or opportunity at sabotage by getting close to him (it didnt work). when cody's bbton boyfriend lets his classmate's secret slip cody is FURIOUS

i'm gonna talk about izjo now

the polyjuice incident scare happens during the 6th years' second round of DatDA practical boggart training, against a much stronger one than they faced in 3rd year. during which, to her complete horror and humiliation, isabel faces (her perception of) francisco. expecting a lame-but-maybe-scary dog like the one that came at her last time, she's caught completely off kilter in front of the entire class, all her friends, everyone. we get an 'end of ch4'x100-level verbal berating ending in a panic attack and running out of the classroom. not a good day for isabel.

she drops her wand on the way out. her friends are worried but ed is in hufflepuff, isaac is in ravenclaw, max is in slytherin, and despite going over to the gryffindor common room for movies all the time nobody in the AC knows the password to get inside. ollie's friends with her but they're not close enough for something like this. the only person who can maybe handle it is johnny, a certified Experienced Ride-Or-Die Best Friend Extraordinaire after 6 years of Gang experience, and who, after being isabel's quidditch partner for 4 years, is maybe the only person who knows her as good as ed and max do. theyre still a little awkward about anything Genuine but their 12yo haterivalry has mellowed out to a 'late night study sessions ("because you're gonna fail charms, idiot, i cant find a replacement if you get expelled and if we lose the cup for it i'm kicking your ass") ("as if, and let you have all the glory when you win without me? pass that book") / constant hangouts ("ed's hanging out with rj again, wanna go look at the shrieking shack?") / mutually repressed crushes (they have kissed once and Almost Twice by now and Refuse to talk about it)'-having close friendship, so johnny grabs her wand and goes to check on her

isabel's in the commonroom sitting on the floor in front of the couch. she's angry, crying, angry because shes crying, crying because she's angry, etc. johnny does Not know how to handle this but cares about his friend so he tries. isabel thinks he's making fun of her at one point and johnny has to switch Comfort Tactics because Shit What Works For Stephen Is Not Working With Guerra. they talk, he gives isabel back her wand, and then stays with her instead of going back to class. they talk more. isabel, consistently known for Keeping Things In, slowly gets comfortable enough to vent why it bothered her so much and she's so frustrated and she cant believe she just stood there and took it and the whole class saw and god FUCK

upon realizing that this is an image/confidence issue thing johnny goes into Friend Protection mode because UM? AS IF, she is LITERALLY THE COOLEST she works CRAZY HARD hexes like a MOTHERFUCKER no idiot in this school could fly a broom HALF as good not to mention whipping HIS ass into gear during training season that jackass old dude you saw doesnt know SHIT about you PLUS what about that time she

^ that goes on for a while

isabel, who is very bad at emotions, and VERY bad at her OWN emotions, and already VERY emotionally overwhelmed due to the past hour, is now faced with A Mountain Of Genuine And Heartfelt Things being said to her by someone she's not been letting herself feel things for for the past Year. so in trying to protect her, her brain takes 'not letting you feel things' and shifts it into overdrive, directly into delusional denial.

Lightbulb Moment: You're Not Johnny.

you dont have to face your feelings if the person in front of you isn't the person you have feelings for. and obviously it isn't, because she HEARD what happened to jeff and spender, which means she can flip this from 'he DOES like me and i CAN have things that feel nice and i've been denying this for myself for two years for NO reason aside my own refusal' into 'a-HA! johnny would NEVER! ohhhh you think youre funny? come after me disguised as someone i care about then rub it in by playing with me? try to get close to me for- what, to throw me off my game for this weeks quidditch match? trying to get dirt on my grandpa? what is your PROBLEM' and also 'if you dont tell me where my friend is if hes safe and what you did with him right now i'm gonna make you wish you hadnt brought my wand back'

its so funny. i dont even think she convinced herself fully. i think at least part of her 100% knows she is huffing Copium. like its a really good scapegoat and the potential of johnny being in like actual danger DOES raise her hackles but i dont even know if she can entirely bring herself to believe her own accusation but shes still like 'no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'

johnny literally did just about everything that'd involve Admitting He Likes Her without actually Admitting He Likes Her. but being johnny he is Stubborn and doubles down. maybe he calls her out on the inconsistencies in her argument but idk he's not trying to start an argument he's trying to comfort a friend who wont let herself be talked nice about without shouting j'accuse. johnny likes fights and he's kinda stupid but he doesnt seem like the kind to take obvious bait like that from someone he knows well and cares a lot about. so Nope, There's No Way She's Serious Right Now. Come Off It, Guerra, As If Anyone Could EVER Get The Jump On Him. She Knows He Means It, Right? All Of It. He Really Does. etc etc. back down to soft talking.

isabel is now WORSE because fuck shit. shit fuck oh no this might actually be johnny. she might not be able to run from this this time. oh jesus christ. but it CANT be, that'd be against the RULES, even though everything he just said already broke them, but STILL.

......................but he stayed this whole time. and came looking for her. and she yelled and cried and accused him of something terrible and showed him the parts she hates and he didnt leave because hes johnny. and theyre sitting close and hes STILL talking nice even though hes JOHNNY. and he somehow talked her down from a second freakout and hes cracking jokes when he could be yelling and when did his hand get on hers and when did she not move it away and she knows the fireplace is lit but when did the room get so warm and shit she kissed him back in september and she shouldntve and she apologized but she really liked it she really really did and that time coming back to yule was just a formality right cause of the plant there was no way he would've suggested it otherwise even if they didnt get interrupted and oh he stopped talking. what

"so basically what im sayin is okay fair maybe in the past ive been a BIT mean-" "i saw you take a second years lunch like two days ago" "-he HAD extra! an YOU skipped!" "....youre telling me that's where the pork bun you gave me came from." "maybe. but see? im not that bad, yeah?" "no youre . youre worse" "WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" "(he has nice freckles) uh huh worst person i ever met. my grandpa talks to me nicer" "bet'cha i'd make a better boggart. since y'think i'm so bad n' scary. next time i see that guy gonna give him a run for his money, better watch out"

but see no he CAN be nice and hell PROVE it. he already said some stuff earlier but she want more? he can do more. he's got more. cmon, try him, think he cant be nice? whats he gotta do huh. ol johnny, resident nicedude, thats what they call him

isabels like oh please more like Resident Scoundrel and that backfires because he grins all big and her brain goes FUCK

isabel STILL trying desperately to worm her way out of Whatever Is Going On Here because she is in WAY too deep but the alarms she's setting off are being set on snooze. shes sitting on the floor against the couch and the stupid enchanted fireplace makes everything warm and its suffocating and she likes it and he keeps holding her hand and rubbing it with his thumb all gentle and she likes that too and

anyway give it up for Wizard AU Canon Izjo Kiss #2

so they pull away like eep and then isabels eyes drift several inches past johnnys, to the commonroom doorway where she makes direct eye contact with their good friend max puckett who came in just in time to see That happen

backpedal ~5 minutes. isabel had ran out like 20 minutes ago and johnny hadn't come back with her yet. so back in the classroom ollie just sighs, tells max the password to get in, and to go make sure they didn't like kill each other or something, he'll watch over the others while he's gone.

'if i had a nickel for every time i walked in on isabel and johnny kissing i'd have two nickels which isnt a lot but god i wish it didnt happen twice'

johnny sees her face and goes to say something soft or apologize for doing that or something but max knocks a coat hanger over while trying to leave immediately and the moments brought rushing back to reality

idk how (isabel getting up to help max, johnny going to say he'll tell Garcia everythings a-ok coolio beans and rushing out with a red face, etc) but isabel and max end up alone in the aftermath of That. because theres no WAY i'd let izjo have a normal conversation about their feelings right away after such a charged implicative scene i need them to simmer in it for at least two months.

max is like what was that. isabel is like i dont know and if i think about it my heads going to explode why are you here. max is like garcia n ollie sent me bc you guys were taking forever. dyou uh wanna go back to class. and then sees isabels face and goes or we could skip. i love skipping. delinquency pog

'so are we gonna talk about it' 'no' 'okay'

'...'

'i just dont know WHY he-'

and then they talk about it for a bit because theyre bffs and max has done this before hes familiar by now

i have 30k of this written in a google doc. the day its finished is going to be like rock lee dropping his ankle weights

thats it. izjo over. wow thanks for reading all that. since you made it this far, here's a list of everyones patronus, just for u. good night

#asks #anon #wizard au #pnat hogwarts #paranatural #spoilers for chapter 4 of a fic i'm not gonna post for several months. gotta put it somewhere

bennieeee new question for u. how would u describe the s/n cast but only using tvtropes. u can use as many tropes as u want and explain why u picked them but ur not allowed to add caveats <3

you are so cruel to me no caveats......i love caveats :(( but also how are there so many tropes in the world. like there are so many

sam gets fish out of temporal water (shes from directly after the resonance and is completely unfamiliar with the 200yr post resonance world, shes out of time in a very fun way), motivational lie (sam tells the other three from the start theyre trying to stop the end of the world and she also is very aware that its. not that possible. and does a LOT of just talking Around the issue to keep everyone motivated and with her), i did what i had to do (god i was gonna just say late game sam because its HUGEEEE post jackie and post ekp sam, but shes actually kind of like this from the start. her leaving her tower does kill tons of people and shes like well it was necessary. bestie??), jumping off the slippery slope (ekp sammieeeeee. she said you know what fuck it!), despair event horizon (she spends the last 1/2 or so of the story knowing full well shes on a doomed quest and not making it out) and a toned down version of mad oracle

jackie gets the poorly choosen one (this is essentially their whole backstory, their original universe made a Bad choice. oops), against the grain (oooooo they want not to be influenced by fate SO BAD. oooooo they want to make decisions outside of the existing narrative SO BAD.), obvious judas (jackie is so obviously a weirdo at the very least from the first time sam finds them wandering in a random forest covered in blood. constantly making it very clear theyre gonna do something terrible eventually), and spanner in the works (sam has this shit PLANNED OUT and jackie is in the background saying 'quit your job. join my emo band' at all times. does work in a comedy setting sometimes, which pairs with the previous one in a funny way because its like ok theyre CLEARLY up to something. but also are they just an idiot??)

emily has honor before reason (she can be incredibly stubborn about a perceived moral code thats often hard to parse but is clearly important to her. this also more often than not comes up in interpersonal relationships - she trusts people like sam and mel even after they do sort of horrible things because of this set of morals), ignored epiphany (happens a handful of times, she realizes that what theyre doing is maybe. not helping? a little before everyone else and keeps quiet about it, she has a parallel moment of clarity on the final journey that she does tryyyy to talk to sam about, it just doesnt go well), we used to be friends (for her and mel specifically, she gets this one instead of mel because thats just sort of how their weird unbalanced relationship shakes out. thats where the guilt is) and stranger in a familiar land (endgame emily :) )

mel has wide eyed idealist (this is a character trait she buries under several other layers and even she refuses to acknowledge it, but for fucks sake. someone she didnt know walked up to her and was like hey you can save the world maybe i guess and she was like yeah sure), jumped at the call (directly related to prev) which over the course of the story pivots to jade colored glasses (beginning of act 3 mel is kinda nasty. theres also a direct parallel between these two when sam comes back post act 2 and asks them to follow her again and shes like no i learned my lesson fuck off) and must make amends (endgame mel :) also a lot of act 3 mel but :) )

also, some assorted random ones: exemplar is mysterious watcher for most of the story, cynosure is self fulfilling prophecy, samira and em are the one that got away, em and mels beef is a lot of grey and gray morality, and grace is walking the earth!!!!

thank you as always muah muah muah

#asks #luna #signal to noise #i know im often late to reply but this one may be the worst yet im incredibly sorry hgdljags #its a really delightful question and SUPER fun to think about i just took a WHILE figuring out how to navigate that website lmao #a fun fact about me is i am scared to use search bars on websites. yes this is often a huge nuisance. i have no idea why

mm thinkin bout my half ass evil mothwing AU

it kinda formed out of how much i think about like! i think hawkfrost being a villian was lazy, like him jut being the other tigerclone son who just did end up being evil kinda meh. like i dont hate it theres some fun to it and the parallel to how it plays with ‘what bramble could have been’ and his place in the clan religion vrs mothwing

so was like mm maybe evil mothwing, its djksgh not like a top teir AU for me but i like the concept of like like i think if one of tigerstars kids was gonna be evil i think mothwing woulda had more potential for it like

hawkfrost and bramble training with tigerstar and for bramble its this moment of misjudgement and wishing maybe he could find tigerstar bearable and the father he wanted him to be. not to mention hawkfrost is also there and its a chance for bramble to have a brother, he’s getting a family. and hawkfrost is very similar. despite choosing to stay in the clans while his mom left he still has this weird emptiness with his parents gone and being this weird big gap in his history. wanting to train with tigerstar out of pure naivety.

they come to a point where they both have to accept tigerstar is using them and will never love them or be what they want him to be. brambleclaw relearns that firestar was always there for him as a father and for hawkfrost he realizes he still has mothwing and brambleclaws only a few clans away. and like hawkfrost IS ambitious and some of his actions are questionable but he isnt evil, just kinda a jerk.

so when ashfur comes running into came screaming his head off about firestar no would have expected it to be the riverclan daughter of tigerstar, the medicine cat who so desperately wanted to help her clan. to find her standing over the writhing body of their leader. The brothers who truly believed on tigerstar came for them, wrapped up in themselves and leafpool who admired her older friend and let herself not see the changes in mothwing over the moons as well as her romance with crowfeather.

Mothwing the medicine cat who struggled day after day to learn to be a medicine cat and to speak with their ancestors to get some sort of sign they were out there with no a single word. frustrated beyond belief that she couldnt do what her clan expected of her so when the dark forest visits her mind she truely thinks its finally happened, she’s made a connection to their ancestors and she wouldnt fail the clan as a medicine cat anymore. Little would she know she was falling for the same game as hawkfrost, being lied to being told fake prophecies while hoping to get to know her father. Training alone with Tigerstar for moons not realizing what kind of person she was being turned into.

It was so easy to get firestar, one helpless medicine cat crossing the borders? of course firestar wouldn't suspect anything of her, he would welcome her with open arms and never see it coming when she walks him right into the foxtrap.

the only snag would be ashfur, the little tattle tale ratted her out. then she is found by hawkfrost and leafpool, the two closest cats in her life looking on in horror as she stood over firestar’s struggling body. (i imagine leafpool was going to riverclan to speak to mothwing about something and ran into hawkfrost who is trying to find mothwing) mothwing looking at the horrified faces of her best friends broke her heart.

anyways idk! i love mothwing a lot she’s neat and whatever. and hawkfrost being evil is fine, its just idk! very typical to me

plus i love a lady villian with fun motives, and i think mothwing being written in hawkfrost’s place could be interesting

#also i wouldnt want mothwing to be killed off #i think bramble would show up and come close and hawkfrost would have a redeeming moment like #pulling bramble off and sparing her #then having a mothwing redemption arc afterwards.#buh buh buh #anyways this been on my mind for a bit #long post #animal death #warrior cats #evil mothwing au #mothwing #firestar #leafpool #hawkfrost

Brothers anon and I actually was skipping through the official City of Mizu episode and realized I missed Skeppy as a idol. So if you follow Skeppy you get to learn about different kinds of gems and what they can be used for, get trained on proper safety when mining, what to look for and avoid when mining, and they also get to go on supply runs that specifically require mining, though not many people follow Skeppy because mining is dangerous. Also I missed Charles personality a good bit so ima change it to where he's still quite, reserved and anxious, but is adventurous, curious, dedicated to his interests, and when given the chance or talking about his interests he gets very excited and talks a lot. Like a excited puppy.

1: People can get kicked out of a idol following for many reasons, like disrespecting the idol and their peers, claiming some of the history their learning is fake, attacking anyone in the city (like stabbing, they just get chastised for fist fights), and breaking multiple rules of the city. And some people don't choose a idol, though its highly unlikely as those who don't know what idol to pick tend to pick Tommy or Tubbo. Those who choose not to choose a idol, tend to only work in farming, as its a easy job to learn. Its for these people that the idol-less council member was added, the council member also represent other cities and kingdoms that do still acknowledge and trade with Mizu. Most houses are actually built out of the side, like how we saw the idol rooms in the official episode, and their kind of scattered about, theres some halls filled with homes, but some halls have no homes. The halls with the homes tend to be the biggest/widest halls of the city, as to allow for room for the families living there, and also because theres sometimes stores in this area. Some halls also have multiple levels to allow for more room, these specific halls are referred to as Residential Complex, and only house homes in their multiple levels. While halls that hold only a few homes arent called anything special. Because outside affairs are very complex, most kingdoms and cities ignore Mizu, treating them with disgust and some times, people who have done supply runs that go into cities have reported having higher prices on what they want to buy, and disrespect from all citizens and police. But some kingdoms and cities respect them and trade with them without any tricks. The councils main agurement in this situation is that, the nice city is very far away, a weeks travel, but the mean city is close, only a 2 day walk away. They agure about what to do and what city to travel too for all supply runs. And another agurement that the council often has is what to do with visitors, they had visitors in the past that had destroyed and stole items in Mizu while causing disruptions, but some also brought their own culture and items and happily exchanged said culture and items. So their conflicted on if visitors should be welcomed or turned away.

3: He went through what Ranbob did, being held to high standards that he just couldn't meet. But unlike Ranbob, he spoke up about his problems and managed to get held to lesser standards and allowed time to recover. When he moved out he originally lived on his own in a forest, and because he was vulnerable to monsters he didn't know how to handle, he had to make many fast paced despite when cornered by monsters or when trying to save crops or his house. And since he was also the oldest child of a 6 child family, he had to constantly look after his siblings, giving him his father-like attitude and knowing how to help people in basically almost any situation. His siblings are (current ages) Nick-17, calm, information nerd, introverted and Benjamins favorite brother. Rock-10, a tiny gremlin that loved to mess with people, he often broke bones or broke items when playing due to his rough play style and broke rules, Benjamin was the only one who could calm him. Ion-16, a teen that is very adventurous and always wandering off, she always talked about traveling the world, the hardest one for Benjamin to keep track of. Stellar-13, in love with space, but other than that is a normal child, but she also has a fascination with monsters like enderman, often wondering where they come from, Benjamin doesnt have any strong opinions on her. And finally, Juka-15, they are very invested in redstone, often experimenting on it and trying to make different things with it, often the stuff they make blows up, Benjamin admires Juka's persistence and love for redstone but also wishes they'd stop blowing up the damn kitchen.

8: Totems do exist, their just so rare its not believed Techno managed to have and use one. So that part of the story got lost and left out over time. Pandoras vault has fallen, mostly because of a break out by Dream that destroyed most of it, and because it had fallen into disrepair. And they do have such advanced technology to make such a prison now, but they doubted the SMP had such technology and availability to do it in their time. And there is also a great lack of evidence (expect for the actual building, but even then people agure it was used for something else) supporting the existence of Pandoras Vault.

Ran and Ranbob used to feel confused and hurt, not understanding why the world hated their home and why the world was so mean to them. Over time they learned why they where shunned, but still didn't completely understand. Eventually they grew used to it, and learned to avoid saying where they lived, unless they wanted to partake in a fight. They very very rarely say that they came from Mizu, as they had learned long ago from both classes and personal experience. But a few times it was revealed they lived in Mizu, they had to just endure it and move along, even though Ran really wanted to punch a fucker. They became friends when Charles went to him during the trip to the flower field, asking to join in on a game he was playing. Its a miracle the two didn't get a heart attack tbh.

10: He was not! Ranbob was too weak for Dream to access all of his powers. And Dreams constant hold of control and withholding food and all the essentials from him, made him even weaker. No one is aware of it, not even Ranbob. A mix of pissed, a weird sort of pride, and determination. The pride and determination is there because knowing Dream thinks that way of them, confirms that they're enough of a threat that Dream actually acknowledges them. And helps them believe that they could truly beat Dream if they tried. Though it also means Dream will try his damned best to kill them.

13: Yeah he comes out on top, he still has some advantages over the others even without tatics, like his speed and he knows how to sneak around and use the area to his advantage pretty well.

14: He seemed more finicky, more nervous and anxious. Constantly trying to seperate himself from the group when he tends to stay very close by. And more on edge/quick to snap at others.

Ayy! Starting off with Skeppy and Charles, what a wonderful way to begin. How did Skeppy’s few followers mine? Were there mines under the sea floor? Did they travel out of Mizu to go find mines in the earth?

1: Hm, interesting. The idol-less leader seems to have quite a bit on their shoulders, if they deal with all outside affairs. Were they specifically selected to learn their position? Since you said most of them farm, but all those politics and stuff seem kind of different from it. Does Ranbob remember any of the nice cities? Did either boy ever meet a former visitor that recognized them from back then?

3: Benjamin’s family sounds really cool. Does the gang ever get to meet them? If so, how do they get along with them?

8: Huh. Well, how about Woodland Mansions? What happened to those, to make totems so rare? So Pandora still stands today? Cool. Does the gang ever come across it? Where would it be located-or well, what areas would be around it? Is it used for anything else nowadays?

And that sucks. If this happens while the brothers are at odds with each other, do they still help each other out with it, since they’re being mocked about their home, or do they just ignore it, and such. How do their respective groups feel both about them being from Mizu, and how they’re treated for it, both before and after the two hauntings started to merge? Did it effect how they thought of them in anyway?

And that sounds cute. What game was it, and who won?

10: Hmm. Was Dream aware he was causing Ranbob to become weaker, or was he that out of touch with human needs? Also, I think I remember way back then, you mentioned this part of Dream was the evil bits that survived his death.

What do you think would happen if they somehow managed to end up seeing the good parts, maybe with a similar artifact that Ranbob found in your supposed fluff?

13: Nice.

14: Oh, no. That’s not good.

so i swapped them hives (act 2) and...

huh i have some thoughts. like gameplay thoughts and some tinfoil story thoughts. spoilers below, obviously

- i loved the game, generally speaking. the grand majority of the puzzles were good and the writing had good moments and it did make me laugh/chuckle out loud a several times

- character writing was fun, except for some parts. even then im not sure if the characters were written bad or if i just got mad at the game and it made me bored of the characters

- the “parts” im speaking of is actually just one big part which you probably guessed right away. THE TRIAL. it was genuinely fucking awful. the game was great before and after it, but that single thing just dragged on way too long and was god damn obtuse (though i was playing it at...... 3 am or something. maybe not the best time for detective work but oh well. tyzias i hope your hand isnt sore from all the holding)

- everything else besides the trial was great. to give an overall rating for act 2 would be difficult due to such a wild disparity in gameplay quality.

- the other puzzles were good. i had to use the hint button only a few times outside the trial for genuine clues. the last puzzle is fresh in my mind because in the end i just kinda spammed the button to be sure i was safe to break the glass/turn the switch because i didnt want to do the whole process over after failing so many times. that was annoying but otherwise the puzzles were cool in my book.

- OBSERVATIONS: some early parts seemed disjointed, like right at the very beginning (after the explosion, in the cave and the bee farm). There were some weird excuses to cover the fact joey and xefros just somehow ended up to the cave. Also it was OBVIOUS the screens from the cave didn’t lead up to the farm properly. We’ve seen in-development animations and screenshots from Zebede and Charun in these areas previously, looking pretty complete. Also the gears at the farm windmill were very intricate, suggesting that maybe there used to be a puzzle there at some point? Also the skip to the train station from the forest was very abrupt. I feel kind of... sad? knowing weve lost some cool content probably forever for whatever reason, but the game is still good. the dev team said that if some troll call trolls are missing from the game they will appear in future acts, so its not like zebede and charun dont exist anymore, but... i wonder why they were scrapped. i mean, probably due to the absolute development hell, but at least charun was in the first steam trailer a year ago iirc. id love to know why this stuff was scrapped

-PLOT THOUGHTS 1: okay okay theres a lot im still thinking about but what im most curious about is the jeevik week. like its some kind of a festival but to what end? the tetrarchs (dammek, cridea, fiamet, xefros/chixie) were apparently planning something and i believe the jeevik week is supposed to be the culmination of those plans. in addition to the tetrarchs, i think marvus has some interest of their own in this, but its uncertain if theyre in on the same plot. he protected joey a lot, and i think it was kinda suspicious how they emphasized how marvus just “happened” to be on this train.

-PLOT THOUGHTS 2: so what happened at the end of the act. it seems likely that the first guardian axolotl thing from the concept art just blasted the train (directly hitting the rustblood car, mind this) though that thing seemed to have wings? does the axolotl have wings or is this something else? its most likely the axolotl, but there are more options... the green fire seems to hint at a green sun-powered creature either way. could there be a link to the act 1 creatures? which were black with green insides, like some kind of nega first guardian? could someone gotten their hands on ectobiology equipment and started producing first guardian-like creatures, powered by the green sun? on alternia, obviously as lusii, but as earth doesnt have them, as some kind of weird mutants? just food for thought

-PLOT THOUGHTS 3: okay, this is kind of a wild idea, but i suspect the attack at the end was intended to eliminate joey and xefros. the creature specifically targeted the lowblood car, and from one of the ending freeze-frames we see half of the wagon being obliterated probably killing everyone inside. xefros is a lowblood and joey was posing as one, so if the attack was intentionally directed whoever is behind it couldve assumed those two were in there. and if the creature was indeed the axolotl, the culprit is likely fiamet as thats likely her lusus or something (something that has been theorised from some in-development screenshots having a axolotl character as a stand-in chitter avatar for her). fiamet also knew joey and xefros were on the train. anyway if thats in any way accurate theres a chance shell be the secret final ultimate antagonist of hiveswap. but who knows

anyway thats my two cents... mean at this point, my about 30 cents on hiveswap act 2.

Onmyoji Movie

HI so I watched the Onmyoji Movie based off of the game last night and . . . . that sure was something!

In all honesty despite the weird path they decided to take, I actually enjoyed the movie. The music and detail in the scenery was amazing, I LOVED the costuming for a lot of the background characters esp in the Demon Realm, and a lot of the easter eggs that were hidden were nice.

BUT. but. As someone heavily invested in the lore of the game (especially concerning Ibaraki) how they decided to deal with the movie was like. really confusing. It genuinely felt as if NE gave the directors a cast of characters and let them do what they wanted from there w/o any prior knowledge of the game.

(spoilers down below)

Before I really pry into that though, I’ll kinda note some of the characters.

Seimei/Qingming was actually my favorite. I think this is sort of an unpopular opinion right now, but his characterization was so nice even if it sorta leans into the basic drama hero type personality. In the game Seimei is supposed to be you/the player, and not everyone is going to have the same interpretation of him-- and that’s what the movie felt like, a different interpretation. I will say I didn’t really like them making him related to their version of Orochi. I believe the snakes name was Xiangliu? I can’t remember, but I didn’t see the reason in that.

If anything, keeping him a fox and having a version of Tamamo no Mae popping up to offer advice to help with the situation would’ve been nicer, and that’d keep more of Seimei’s backstory kept in tact-- because asides from him becoming an Onmyoji apprentice at a young age we literally do not know shit about him. And legit I wouldn’t necessarily mind bc it’s a movie, you’re not going to get everyone’s backstory within 2 hrs, but we can’t really get attached to him.

Yao Bikuni/Baini was. Hm. I like her as a character in the movie, but I don’t like where she’s placed as a character in the movie. She’s a Seer? in the game and tbh it should’ve stayed that way, like I honestly can’t see her willingly working for one clan. “But how would she--” In game she is also influenced by Seimei pretty heavily, as in the in game chapters she believed he would be able to kill her. Up until she got manipulated by Orochi, she stuck to his side. With the Stone plot in the movie, if it put him in danger she would be there in order to try and help him, OR, try and pull him to join Orochi if they went that route. And they KINDA tried to hint at it when Seimei “died” with Orochi using her image, but like. come on man. Let Yao be evil for a little bit.

That being said I didn’t like the Master & Shikigami bit with those two, or the implied romance they tried to pull with them. Canonically Seimei legit brushes her off and when shes like “ohhh you’ll kill me right” hes like “lol sure” and thats IT. Literally any form of romance that’s tried at Seimei he brushes it off. he’s not into it he’s an amnesiac.

The “Oh if you become my shikigami you won’t become evil” thing was :/ to me as well because again, canonically, even though Seimei is being taunted he can contain the Kitsune part pretty well even when he wasn’t aware he was kitsune. Like I think the part as a kid was a good bit to add since it’s when he’s first being exposed to Onmyoji type stuff, but like. idk idk I couldn’t vibe with that power dynamic while they were trying to hint romance.

Continuing on with Hiromasa/Yuan Boya and Kagura/Shenle, again considering this is a movie, I’m somewhat content with their characters.

I really liked how energetic this Kagura was, and given they weren’t able to do her actual backstory, I liked the one she was given. Her introduction in the movie was really great too-- and compared to Hiromasa I felt they gave her a little more attention? Which like fine, but not so good for Hiro.

They didn’t even. Discuss his archery skills at any point which was disappointing. The most plot relevance he (and honestly Kagura too) had was finding Seimei while trying to arrest him but that’s it. And yes they showed some of his skill while he was fighting Kamaitachi, but that’s the extent of it. AGAIN i’ll consider the fact this was a movie and they didn’t have enough time to fit EVERYTHING in, but since they gave Yao and Seimei so much attention you would think they’d be able to spare some for the other two protagonists in the game.

Before I leave those two tho I’m still trying to figure out what the fuck happened in the end. Like did hiromasa get promoted in some form? was he given credit for what happened between the demon realm? Why did he separate from Kagura since they got close during the movie? I guess like bc work duties but still. I have no idea tho like i was sitting there not processing a single thing. Regardless I did like Hiro and Kags acting like siblings despite in this canon them not being related (at least it’s never clarified).

Ok so before I dive into the whole mess that is the Cimu/”Ibaraki” character, stuff on side characters.

While I didn’t like the outfits for Sakura(? Momo? Both of them?) or Chocho, I liked the roles that they held as sort of trainers for the rest of Seimeis shikigami. In fact I liked the whole courtyard ordeal in general. I have my own worldbuilding thing that has a similar theme so seeing it being used canonically was pretty nice. I do wish we could’ve seen more SSRs or even SRs though. Like, why couldn’t Aoandon be hanging out in the courtyard to give gossip to Hiro & Kagura? Yamakaze or Shishio hanging out in the forest, or like. bruh even Jikikaeru as the boss in the Showdown considering he runs that in game.

I did like the fish man! I really did, but literally everything about him could’ve been Jikikaeru, I don’t think it’s that hard to make a frog man.

Also as mentioned previously it would’ve been nice to see Tamamo make an appearance considering he makes random ones every now and then. The Mujou Brothers could’ve helped the shikigami when they were escaping Seimeis courtyard, Shiranui could’ve been an entertainer while they were traveling through the demon realm, HAKU??? couldve been one of Seimeis shiki?? literally anyone. They have all these misc characters in the background but barely any of them resemble in game characters.

GOD EVEN KOSODENOTE COULDVE BEEN THERE . . . . at the scene where Kagura was messing with jewelry and clothing . . . Koso couldve been the seller. Aobozu could’ve worked at the shrine . . . . I just. Man.

ANYWAYS . . . pulling from that and going into whatever the hell Cimu is. god.

So according to casting, Cimu is supposed to be Ibaraki. But the thing is. There’s only like. 3-4 Elements about Ibaraki that goes into him. Everything else is Shuten which i honestly find pretty funny?? Take away the homophobic jokes and combine the gay coded character into his love interest. Which I mean that’s better than making them brothers but at what cost.

anyways. Cimu previously being an onmyoji but turning evil -> shuten previously being a monk and turning evil. The design of the hand that Cimu uses as transportation -> SP Shutens design where he sits on two hands. Red hair -> shuten. The horns, eye color (minus scleras), arm getting chopped off, and his ambition to grow stronger are really the only parts of Ibaraki that’s in the character-- and even then you could say Shuten has a similar ambition of growing stronger. It’s just so scuffed.

ALSO IT DOESN’T MAKE SENSE. literally it doesn’t make sense when you look at the characters.

Why couldn’t they just stick with Kuro Seimei considering the fact that this Ibaraki works with Ootengus and Yuki Onna/The Snow Queen? They could’ve given Seimei a twin brother to work off of this. But like if they really wanted to keep Ibaraki and Shuten, they could’ve made it that Shuten was being manipulated by Orochi and Ibaraki was serving him, because there’s a LOT of shit you could do just with Shuten by himself. Legit no reason to combine the two since they’re BOTH heavily marketed characters.

Legit like, Shuten being controlled, given Ibaraki’s loyalty to Shuten he would most likely follow him no matter what, and even like. Have a form of Momiji to kind of help out-- probably at a heavy expense of Shuten doing something for her, but still. like i LOVED the snow queen, I loved this interpretation of yuki so I wouldn’t want to get rid of her, but they shouldve went with Seimei 2 instead of “ibaraki”. It’s just so much and it doesn’t make sense.

Now orochi himself and how that was handled was like. Okay I guess. If anyone was being talked to through their head at the time it should’ve been Yao Bikuni considering she allies with him in canon at one point. but like whatever. I did think the end was neat where Seimei forced him into becoming his shikigami, like I liked that whole process. Otherwise all antagonists were pretty underwhelming.

I also was not fond of the ending where like Seimei just turns away at the broken bridge. Like does this mean the Demon realm is completely cut off now? just fix the bridge. Also does Seimei just fuck off?? I know theres a scene where he’s standing on the roof but. i dont know.

Regardless the movie was great, I had fun watching it. When ibaraki came in I accidentally paused the movie a couple of times while spamming screenshots. Even tho hes like kinda ugly but that’s ok. There WERE some angles where he was hot as hell but otherwise they did his actor so dirty. The horns were just. God I won’t delve into that bc this post is long as hell BUT. BUT. THE MOVIE WAS GOOD. just not if ure into the lore for the game LMAO.

Ok that’s it for now bye

#Onmyoji #this is so long and probably incomprehensible but these r my thots #tbh i cant wait for the drama that's coming too they teased it but w like. actual outfits from the game #it was seimei and momiji so i think its following in game chapters #i wonder how they'll end it tho since those chapters arent finished(?)

oohohoho you just opened the deepest can of worms on the planet

-mod dave, who wrote a fucking ten mile essay

first off, addressing the second anon, no theyre all humans. h., half humans at least. cause yall know me i fucking love my humanstuck aus off my ASS

(that would be funny as hell though. a troll from space walking into a camp on earth going “I AM THE SON OF ONE OF YOUR EARTH GODS. BITCH” like... holy shit)

so first things first their parents. im gonna lay this out, the beta kids and trolls are all greek (EXCEPT sollux hes roman cause his parent has no greek equivalent), and all the alpha kids and trolls are those gods roman equivalents (,,EXCEPT dirk cause he kinda balances sollux being roman out). i havent figured out how thatd happen like 16+ times yet cause in the percy jackson books theres only ever been one instance of two siblings of the same godly descent being greek and roman respectively in HISTORY so like.. i guess th. i guess thats just not a problem in this au

anyway this gets really long so im gonna talk about the beta kids and trolls cause i havent elaborated on the alphas at all ((peep the tags if you wanna see their parents though))

johns the son of zeus, rose is the daughter of athena, dave is the son of apollo, and jade is the daughter of demeter. they were all raised in their respective states, all had to come to new york for various reasons. jades been there the longest, shes been there 9 years and shes been on a couple quests. her biggest accomplishment so far is how she protected the camp from this big vicious angry hellhound that got past the barrier. naturally the girls fluent in Dog Training, so she steps up and instead of trying to kill this thing, she reaches out and tames it as fast as she can. it ends up actually working, and ever since that day she, her cabin, and the camp have a whole bodyguard sleeping right outside the demeter cabin! hes her steed in battle and hes a Very Good Boy. and his name is becquerel

johns the newest kid at camp, he has no idea who he is or why the fuck his school got attacked or why in the hell those anemoi thuellai were so fixated on him or HOW in the hell he absorbed the lightning one threw at him and ended up fine,,, hes just a big mess right now. a big enough mess that when he got claimed by literally zeus, no one else was around, he shrugged it off as some basic magical happening, and he stayed in the hermes cabin far longer than he should have cause no one! fucking knew he got claimed! by zeus of all people! dumbass. he ends up figuring it out though. like an off-hand mention about how this “weird lightning thing appeared above my head a couple weeks ago, haha weird right?” once he figures it out he realizes “hey i might be able to fly” so he sneaks off into the woods to try it. he succeeds fairly quickly but god almighty everyones face the one day the dude just yote himself off a small cliff without warning,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

dave and rose are really tight, theyve been there roughly the same time length, and since their cabins are across from each other they just bother each other all the time. daves the resident Doctor even though he really doesnt look it cause hes got the apollo powers. apollo is the medicine god. so if you wound your stupid ass in battle daves in the ER room patching you up with his glowy hands. rose on the other hand is a very good strategist. shes one of the only athena kids ever recorded to actually have a power - telekinesis. she has no idea how she developed it, she thinks its from birth, but it freaks her out. shes training it though.

so the beta trolls, are also all human(ish). aradias hades kid. but i pulled a pjo trope on her based on one of my favorite characters (im not saying for spoilers, but if you recognize the situation, You Probably Know Who Its Based Off) and aradia died. her mom, the handmaid, had been pulling some Shady Ass Shit and ended up getting herself killed, but aradia tried saving her and ended up going down with her.

so handmaid gets sentenced to the fields of punishment in the underworld, and aradia gets sentenced to elysium, heroes paradise. shes like “no i want my mom to be okay” so they take that away from aradia and they put them both in the fields of asphodel, the neverending grey space for Not So Good But Not So Bad people. her mom becomes a shade (shadow spirit, no human resemblance), as all people do, but aradia. doesnt? and she gets dunked in the fucking river lethe and if you dont know what that does it erases your memory. so she just. comes out of the river like “hello? wgat tae fukc goin on??” but she still remembers one thing. there was an “a” in her name.

tavros is the son of hermes, hes just kinda taken on the role of backup counselor for when the actual cabin counselor is out. hes in a wheelchair, but he also has prosthetic legs for when he needs to actually stand up and fight. hes really good at it too. also catch him in winged converse cause he Owns Those and Uses Them To His Advantage. hes trying his best to keep focused on the camp, cause aradia was his childhood friend, he misses her a whole lot, she never got to camp in the first place. and to his knowledge, shes still dead.

sollux is a janus kid. thats a problem cause janus is roman, and this is a greek camp. he grew up with dave, he showed up with dave, hes been at camp as long as dave. but hes been unclaimed since he showed up so he thinks hes unwanted by whatever parent he has. he knows hes a demigod, he got through the camp barriers, so what the fuck is wrong with him? he also feels shitty cause hes shit at the greek lessons, he cant read a lick of it which literally every demigod without exception should be able to do, he cant name any gods- well, he can, but.. he gets their names mixed up. why does he keep calling poseidon “neptune”? and he has a much, much different way of natural fighting than other kids. they slice, he jabs. he wasnt taught to jab.

karkat is an aphrodite kid with vitiligo, and to make matters worse, hes ace and on the aro spectrum. to make matters WORSE, the aphrodite kids are kinda notorious for being really shallow, really materialistic, and really mean. karkats been dubbed the “runt” of the cabin, he gets made fun of for his spots to the point where he uses make up and magic to conceal them. worst of all? hes the kid of the goddess of love, for fucks sake. being reminded that “loveless people shouldnt be able to stay in this cabin, mom must have made a mistake claiming you” is kind of.. a blow to the self esteem. long story short he hates aphrodite for claiming him, and would have rather stayed in the hermes cabin. but he eventually goes on this big quest thats vague as fuck right now but Its The Main Plot, he ends up proving to himself that hes worth something and that his siblings are wrong, and my FAVORITE LINE IN THE WHOLE THING i came up with is HIS when he deals a final blow to some big monster: “REMEMBER MY FACE THE NEXT TIME YOU REINCARNATE. MY NAME IS KARKAT VANTAS, I’M THE SON OF APHRODITE, AND LOOKS CAN KILL.”

nepeta isnt anywhere near developed as others are unfortunately, shes a daughter of ares and shes really really good at hand to hand combat. shes small but she leads groups of people in things ranging from camp volleyball games to actual literal wars. shes a tough little shit

kanaya isnt really developed either, i have yet to figure out most of her powers too actually, shes a daughter of iris, the rainbow goddess though. (blatant reference to both kanayas vampirism and. h. her. sh. es ga. gay) ONE THING SHE CAN DO THOUGH is iris message at will without water or drachmas so really shes just everyones go to cell phone and its fucking hilarious cause people just come into the cabin like “KANAYA I NEED TO TALK TO [X]” and shes like “You Better Fucking Pay Me I Am Not Your Personal Cell Phone”

terezi is the daughter of nemesis and she has this really peculiar power she hasnt really gotten the hang of yet. she has synesthesia, so while she cant see she can smell and taste the colors of her surroundings and its really helpful. sometimes though she gets messages from her mom. they dont even come as dreams half the time, they come as almost a different plane altogether. tez has the power to literally tip the scales, pretty much. and when she gets like that, she can see. shes not on earth though, shit on earth stops when shes like that. shes just kinda In Her Own Head, i guess? and in her head she holds the two scales in her hands. she is the arms of the scale. and depending on which one she lifts up, she can literally alter the fate of the battle or happening thats going on By Herself. once she chooses she just whooshes back to real life though and nothing has changed. the only downside? it takes a LOT of energy and cant be exploited for little things. her one thing on her bucket list is to tap into said powers while getting something from a vending machine so like three things will fall out but it hasnt happened yet and shes upset

vriskas a daughter of tyche, the luck goddess, come the fuck on you knew i was gonna, i havent really elaborated on her either and im upset about that. but hey now you get a break from all those fucking paragraphs

equius is a hephaestus kid, and he kinda stays in the background. hes a range fighter, he spends a lot of time in the forge, and even though its been a project looooong since forgotten, hes been excavating the tunnels under cabin nine for years. by himself. he has no idea where they lead, but dammit hes gonna find out where. he has no idea about a certain bunker in the woods though...

gamzees just there for a fucking laugh tbh hes a son of dionysus and i love that cause hes the god of wine and parties and insanity. usually gamzees just zoning out somewhere hes Not supposed to be, and hes not affected by the maenads FUCKED UP BULLSHIT that goes down the forest sometimes. also hes so fucking scared of tavroses wing shoes he tried them on once while he was high and JESUS CHRIST

eridan is the son of kymopoleia, a SUPER obscure goddess. lets just say dont fuck with eridan cause his mom is the goddess of violent sea storms,

and naturally, feferi is the daughter of poseidon. cause who the FUCK else would she be the daughter of. WHO. NAME ONE GOD

OH AND JUST CAUSE I FORGOT CALLIE AND CALIBORN ARE SATYRS IN THIS AU. CALLIE HAS PAN PIPES. and caliborn still has a gun

📃🎥🏳‍🌈

tysm for tha ask molli!! ill talk abt kny here bc its takin over my life rn qwq

spoilers ahead 4 tha whole series!!

📃 what is the plot of your hyperfixation? and is it a movie, game, show, etc?

kny is a manga w an anime adaptation thats had 1 season so far n a movies bein made of my fav arc!! (also this plot desc may not b perfect bc i havent read it in like 4 months)

its abt a boy called tanjirou whos whole family got killed by a demon, n his sister nezuko got turned into a demon (which fun fact: in kimetsu theyre man-eatin creatures w different powers called blood demon arts!!)

hes sent by giyuu (a demon slayer!) 2 join tha demon slayer corps so hell become stronger n mayb get a little revenge. as a treat (and also mayb find a way 2 turn nezuko human?)

as he trains he learns how 2 do water breathing (a sword technique taught by him n giyuus mentor, urokodaki) n his final challenge is 2 cut a massive boulder in half w his sword

its real hard 4 him (as u can imagine) so 2 kids in fox masks named sabito n makomo come n help him, but after tanjirou cuts tha rock n tells urokodaki abt him its revealed theyre dead???

@ final selection (basically a demon slayer entrance exam where u win by surviving on a demon-infested mountain 4 seven days) he learns from a real fucked up demon that hes exclusively been targetin urokodakis students n that not even sabito could slice its neck open?? (thats how him n makomo died)

after tanjirou kills tha demon n basically puts all tha water breath students’ souls @ peace he passes tha exam!! its been 7 days n now he gets his nichirin blade (the only kinda sword that can kill a demon, tha only 2 ways they can die is thru a slice 2 tha neck from a nichirin blade n sunlight)

turns out nezuko was turned by the strongest demon of all, michael jackson muzan kibutsuji, n so he sets out 2 hunt him down n try 2 kill him

but he aint so strong @ first so he needs 2 try 2 take down tha twelve kizuki first (the 12 strongest demons besides muzan)

another reason he needs 2 kill tha kizuki is 2 gather their blood for a demon named tamayo n her assistant yushirou!! tamayo can make a cure if tanjirou can gather blood samples 4 her (the stronger tha demon tha more of muzans blood they have so hes gonna have 2 aim high)

he meets a bunch more slayers along tha way, includin zenitsu (a scaredy cat thunder breath user who basically simps 4 nezuko n becomes a badass when hes asleep) n inosuke (a rowdy beast breath user who wears a boar mask n lived in tha mountains)

after lower moon 5 gets killed by giyuu, nezuko unlocks her blood demon art (exploding blood!) n tanjirou remembers how 2 use tha hinokami kagura, him n nezuko get captured by a slayer called shinobu qwq

turns out she n giyuu are 2 of the nine hashira, the strongest of all tha demon slayers!! but theyre all havin a debate over whether they should kill tanjirou n nezuko 4 goin against corps rules n travelin w a demon

eventually oyakata-sama (tha leader of tha slayer corps) comes in n tells em its ok, urokodaki sent a letter explainin that nezukos never hurt anyone n if she does, tanjirou giyuu n urokodaki all have 2 die basically

oyakata-sama also tells em that tanjirous met kibutsuji, at which everyone goes feral at (and understandably, none of em had ever even seen him before hes that elusive)

so they get 2 live bc theyre like. tha best hope the slayers have @ findin kibutsuji

the rest of the hashira are kyoujurou (flame), muichirou (mist), mitsuri (love), obanai (serpent), gyoumei (stone), tengen (sound) n sanemi (wind)

theres also kanao (shinobus pupil, flower breathing) n genya (sanemis brother, eats demons 2 gain power n basically become a demon temporarily, also He Has A Gun)

ive gone on a lot here so ill try 2 keep it brief now but i HAVE 2 explain infinity train or ill die (slight suicide tw but no one actually does that outside of dreams)

BASICALLY the lower 6 moons have a meetin @ kibutsujis infinity castle, muzan decides 2 dismantle tha lower moons bc they keep fuckign dying

all of em get their shit wrecked except enmu, who avoided death by usin muzans “dont tell me what 2 do” rule against him n beggin 4 death basically

so he gets a metric fuckton o blood n goes off 2 kill tanjirou

turns out he keeps killin people on his train n kyos gone 2 investigate!! the main gang (the kamaboko gang as the fandom calls it) are there too bc tanjirou needs 2 investigate what hinokami kagura really is (turns out its sun breathing, the og form and ones that only folks w the same mark on his forehead can use) n if anyone knows abt the alleged “fire breathing” as they know it rn its the fire hashira!!

so they get on tha train (inosukes lovin tha experience bc hes Literally Never Seen A Train Before) n kyo basically adopts the whole group

they take some tickets n promptly fall asleep HERES WHERE ENMUS DEMON ART COMES INTO PLAY!!! DREAM MANIPULATION BABEYYY

BASICALLY he can make people fall asleep in a buncha ways (the mouths on his hands, his weird eye thingies, the tickets) n once thats happened he n his henchmen can access said dreams (he can even control em!!) n if they find tha “spiritual core” they can destroy it n essentially leave em as an empty shell thatll never wake up!! yaaaaaay /s

he fails bc tanjirou realises a way out n its by cuttin his own head off in his dream, eventually everyones awake again n tanjirou finds enmu on tha roof(?) of tha train

after a while he does manage 2 decapitate him but surprise!!! hes not dead

turns out he literally FUSED WITH THA TRAIN n is plannin on eatin everyone inside, includin kyo n the gang

but he doesnt bc Main Protags Cant Die(tm) n dies while complainin that he wants a redo (sorry enmu, ily but u cant turn back time unless ur yoshikage kira)

also sidenote enmus tha only kizuki w/o a canon backstory as far as i can remember and????? H??

ANYWHO after that whole debacle basketball akaza (UPPER moon 3) shows himself!!! FUCK

n after all that struggle against the 8th strongest demon of all time now they gotta deal w tha 4th strongest????? damn,

so yeah it goes how youd imagine, its a tough fuckin battle n its Not Fun but it turns out kyoujurou fucking dies n i genuinely didnt realise until he said “kamado my boy, lets have one final chat” bc i was so in denial n lets face it i still am now

long story short idk how im gonna manage 2 get thru the movie w/o breakin down @ the end

anyway after that horrible horrible time tanjirou goes n meets senjurou, kyos little bro, who gives him kyos sword guard thing (its shaped like a flame!!) n i havent read it in a while so i cant FULLY remember but i think this is where he learns abt sun breathing??

after that they end up goin on a mission in tha red light district w tengen, his 3 wives are there 2 serve as spies (theyre kunoichi, which i think are ninjas of some kind??) n the boys have 2 find em

they do manage 2 find em but not after runnin into upper moon 6, who are 2 twins called daki n gyuutarou

after that fight tengen has 2 retire bc he got fucked up p bad from that fight n he wants 2 make sure tha girls are ok above all

so after that arc tanjirou n nezuko go down 2 tha swordsmith village (bc the guy who usually makes his swords is fuckin tired of repairin it) n run into mitsuri!! she tells tan that theres smth in tha forest thatll make him stronger

ngl this is tha arc i remember tha least abt so this desc is prolly SO inaccurate despite havin 2 o my favs in it)

but muichirou shows himself too n hes mean 2 tanjirou >:/ (he does get nicer eventually but 2 him specifically)

a 10 y/o kid named kotetsu shows tan this 6 armed trainin robot called yoriichi type 0 (based on tha first slayer 2 use sun breathin) n tanjirou breaks it by accident qwq

but he keeps trainin thanks 2 kotetsu but tha kids a harsh fuckin trainer ill tell u that

anyway so we have a whole buncha demons 2 deal w here except most of em are 1 demon split into different parts

hantengu n gyokko, upper moons 4 n 5 respectively!! mui deals w gyokko while mitsuri genya nezuko n tanjirou deal w hantengu

in these fights mitsuri n mui get their demon slayer marks!! these are marks that they get when they surpass the limits of tha human body n they look like tha marks demons have (muis looks like clouds on his cheeks n mitsuris is 2 hearts on her collarbone)

next up is tha hashira trainin arc!! everyone gets trained by each of tha hashira 2 try n unlock their slayer marks

each have a dif trainin style that focuses on dif stuff (for example gyoumei focuses a lot on physical strength n stuff like that, obanai is more abt accuracy) n this is where giyuus backstory gets revealed bc he doesnt think hes worthy o bein a hashira :((

basically him n sabito were absolute besties!! they both trained together n sabito basically told him not 2 die ever

but it all goes wrong @ final selection- sabito manages 2 take down every demon on tha mountain but one of em, that bein the hand demon that exclusively targets water breathers (theyre easy 2 distinguish bc of their blue haoris n custom made fox masks)

he manages 2 save giyuu n everyone else from tha selection except 4 himself (this is why giyuus haori is like that- its made from his sister n sabitos haoris)

giyuu blames himself 4 both of their deaths bc he failed 2 protect em n says that he doesnt deserve 2 have passed tha selection let alone b a hashira,, but tanjirou convinces him otherwise!! ^^

then one day while giyuus trainin w sanemi disaster hits- oyakata-sama, his wife n two of their kids just died

the 2nd to last arc- the infinity castle!! thingsre gettin real n muzans revealed himself

in tha infinity castle EVERYONES there but can u really blame em theyve been workin up 2 this 4 millenia

shinobu runs into upper moon 2- douma, aka the bastard that killed her sister as well as inosukes mum

she is. justifiably pissed. n she gives it her all but he kills her :(( douma ily but also FUCK YOU.

so perfect timing!!! heres her adopted sister!! as well as inosuke!!!! revenge battle time >:0

in the end shinobus poison is what kills him- her whole body is filled w wisteria poison thats deadly 2 a demon so he basically consumed her whole body weight in poison rip

but ofc word gets out via messenger crow that shes dead n its just a real sad moment tbh :( but theres no time 4 that bc giyuu n tanjirou just ran into akaza >:((

so tanjirous pissed as hell now n w their combined efforts they take down tha basketball lookin bastard (bastardball??)

meanwhile obanai n mitsuri (n yushirou iirc?? he uses his own art 2 control her @ some point tho i cant remember when) deal w tha new upper moon 4 (nakime, whos also shiftin tha rooms around w her blood art n makin tha fight super fuckign annoyin tbh) n muichirou genya sanemi n gyoumei deal w kokushibou (upper moon 1, also tha original sun breathers twin brother so he gets moon breathin >:3)

mitsuri n obanai fake their deaths w help from yushirou n muzan falls 4 it, which comes in handy later ;3

zenitsu also deals w his former bully, upper moon 6 aka kaigaku aka dickhead supreme who if zenitsu didnt kill i would personally kill w my bare hands

so after everyones taken down all thats left is muzan >:( muzan kills tamayo real early on n everyones goin all out on him

we also learn that he has multiple brains n hearts in his body eww

also the hashira have their marks now!! but all but sanemi n giyuu get killed n giyuu loses his arm :((((

genya also gets killed noo

eventually ofc the battle is won thanks 2 everyones relief, it took for fuckin ever bc the only way muzan can die is tha sun so they had 2 kill time n keep him out in tha sun 4 a long time

also nezukos been cured!! shes a human!! n shes comin 2 help!!

but OH GOD OH FUCK MUZAN TURNED TANJIROU INTO A DEMON N GIYUUS CRYIN N INOSUKES CRYIN THRU HIS MASK N ITS GOIN SO FUCKING WRONG but he gets tha will 2 turn back bc Fuck You Muzan, The Power Of Friendship Defeats All

the 2nd to last chapter is tha happy endin, the kamaboko gang visit tanjirou n nezukos house, giyuu cuts his hair n SMILES n tha hashira have their final meetin w oyakata-samas son kiriya

i cried readin it ngl their sufferin is finally over...... it cost a lot but now theres no more demons,,,

chapter 205 is set in tha modern day! kanao n tanjirous descendants are shown, as well as zenitsu n nezukos

everyone who died/never had kids get reincarnated (for example gyoumei is now a daycare worker, kyos reincarnation toujurou is besties w one o tans descendants n giyuu (giichi) is friends w sabito again!! makomos their friend too!!

ALSO KIRIYA IS STILL ALIVE hes the oldest man in japan!! this is huge bc the ubayashiki family dont usually live past 30 bc of a curse that was put on em when they had muzan

yushirou is still alive too but thats bc hes a demon n he paints tamayo for a living qwq

it just made me cry so hard bc waaah,,, everyone gets 2 live a demon-free life now,,, anyway typin this took me like an hour im sorry mint (as well as anyone else who read this)

🎥 do you have any favorite scenes from your hyperfixation?

tha infinity train arc as a whole tbh??? its basically enmu n kyoujurous big moment and. i care them sm. i cant wait 4 tha movie qwq except 4 their deaths ofc

🏳‍🌈 do you have any headcanons (lgbt, race, neuro, etc) that are important to you?

Fallout’s Plants

A post nuclear wasteland isn’t exactly a botanist's dream, but the Fallout universe makes that anything but untrue. I fell in love with the franchise around the time I was 14, after a prophetic dream about Mobile homes. I bought New Vegas, died a lot, and then went on to only ever play fallout 3 until I figured out how to be Good at Video Games. Fallout 4 came out not too long after, and my hype for the franchise has stuck. Don’t get me wrong, the games are awful, but when has something like that ever stopped me before?

A botanist's guide to the Wasteland

Fallout plants

Venus Man-eaters- Cordyceps aren’t the only thing mutated in that vault. Venus Flytraps had to get in on the action too!! They aren’t actually called venus man-eaters in the game, no, they’re called “Spore Plants.” But that’s lame and I’ve personally retconned their name. You can thank me later, Todd. They look like absolute goofballs. They hack up and spitooy a glob of green spore stuff at you, and are a blast to fight. They’re actually in the second fallout, and you can rip off their spikes to use as a little knife!

Sundews- Sundews are literally the reason I even purchased Fallout 76. No really, they are. The trailers I saw were interesting enough, they advertised a fun little game of exploration and survival. Yeah, i’d buy that on sale given the chance. But sundews? Huge, potentially intelligent sundews that lure you into their groves and kill you? I was Immediately hyped. I thought about all the possibilities they could bring. Could they lure you in with high level loot but then act as an ever shifting maze leading you to your eventual starvation? Could they grab onto you and force you to shoot at them?

Stranglers- Part of one of the promotional interviews for fallout 76 mentioned “Intelligent Plants,” heavily implying sundews. PSYCH! It was these orange vine thingys that infest the scariest area of Appalachia: The Mire. It isn’t the most dangerous, however it is a big spooky swamp with the creepiest enemies, squirming gulper salamanders and the Vicious aforementioned Anglers. An event quest allows you to try and defeat the “Heart of the Swamp,” a huge, Little Shop of Horrors plant mouth that summons Strangler infested enemies. Such fun!

Fever Blossom- Fever blossums are really REALLY pretty flowers that you can find in Fo4’s best DLC “Nuka World.” They’re bright blue and they grow on nasty looking stems. But the really kicker is when you’re assigned to go collect them to make a frenzy effect grenade for the Diciples, a raider group known for their intense sadism. You need to go collect fever blossoms to do this, implying that they will make you Angry if ingested. Imagine that. You and your ghoul buddy Steve are wandering the wastes and he dares you to eat this flower, and next thing you know you’re beating the radioactive snot out of him for no actual reason. My kinda thing!

Lure Weed- Lure weeds are a sham. You don’t really need them. It’s not worth the risk, lest you fall prey to the dreaded “Angler.” Lure weed’s whole purpose is look exactly like the protruding lures of the terrible beasts. But the problem is, there’s no real reason to go get lure weed at all! They’re only used to make two consumables, and unless you REALLY want Seasoned Wolf Ribs, it’s best to avoid them altogether

Gutshroom- gutshrooms were added post release, the same time a new (albeit pretty lame) dungeon “the burrows” was. They go hand in hand with actual guts, added to the loot table of small animals at the same time. The concept is fun, if a little unusual. I’m not sure what they’re actually for, though. Are they to make players think they’re in a dangerous area when they’re actually not? Are they supposed to look good and add to the cramped, soggy atmosphere of the sewer system?

Firecap- firecaps are bright orange mushrooms that are found in the forest area of fallout 76. They kinda do look a bit like fire, but not really. I like their almost animal like veins all over them, they’re really neat. There’s not a whole lot to them, but I appreciate their simplicity.

Snaptails- These mutated cattails are the first plant I found and photographed in my Fallout 76 botanical adventure 9000. They’re not much different than regular cattails, other than their flowers have become huge, bloated, and presumably very hard. They hold a special place in my heart, and I make sure to snatch a few when I get the chance.

Ginseng root- hehe it looks like a tiny man

Punga Fruit- Punga fruit is an important aspect of Fallout 3’s DLC “point lookout.” They’re weird looking fruits that are a staple to the diet of the inbred, unfairly powerful hillbilly locals (that and the occasional tourist!) It has a “mother of all Punga” and that’s used to drug the Lone Wanderer so they can cut your brain out. It’s sinister, scary, and probably tastes like farts.

Corpse Flower- YESYESYESYESYESYESYESYES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love these things!!! I’ve always had a fascination with corpse flowers, and when I learned that they were in the game, I wasted no time in trying to photograph them. It was part of an event quest where I tried to defend them from critters, but I am bad at video games, so RIP corpse flowers I guess. I can only imagine how they got into the West Virginia ecosystem!! A zoo? That would explain the sloths! Vault 94? Most likely, but also that’s not as fun as the idea of a potential zoo we could go to in the future! Nuka world’s Ghoulrillas, Brahmiluffs, Gazelles, and Gatorclaws were ok, but I need mORE!!!

Firecracker Berry- Firecracker berries are a wonderful source of food and jumpscares. They have one gimmick: when you get too close, they explode, making tiny high pitched firework noises. Cute!

Glowing Resin- Ok actually, I’m not too confident that this stuff is a plant. Maybe it is? Maybe it's a huge pulsating lichen for all I know. Maybe it’s deathclaw snot. Maybe it’s an excess of radioactive stuff that the tree is expelling out of it’s system in the form of a toxic sap. Who knows! Whatever it is, it looks nasty.

Pitcher Plants- These things can be found in several places in West Virginia, and I don’t like them. Like, there’s nothing wrong, it’s just that they’re so underused. They have basically the same shtick as sundews: they spray a cloud of stinky at you when you get to close. Where’s the fun in that? I wish they did something like antlions where you can’t help but draw close, and you need to kill it before it swallows you whole!!

Glowing Mushrooms- yeah yeah, theres not a whole lot going on with these things. What do they do? Well they glow. That’s pretty much it. They are basically made so that when you go into caves, you arent stuck in pitch black. But the thing about them is that they’re just so….so…. Nice! They’re just quality shrooms living their best life and helping wastelanders and mutants alike navigate the underground.

Brain Fungus- I always wondered what these things actually came from. Mold? Mushrooms? Puffballs? Who knows. I’m not sure what they are, but I love the way they grow; all over walls, clustering around like barnacles. I also love the fact that due to radiation, mushrooms just kind of decided to turn into brains for no decernable reason. I love it.

Tato- Tatos are, by all means and observations, just regular old tomatoes. I don’t think they really have any mutations at all, aside from the strange bendy and twisted stems that are ever so common in post-nuclear plants. I don’t have much to say about this, I really didn’t want to reveiw already existing plants such as corn, broc flowers, aster, etc., but “Tato” just so happens to be the name of our late tomato frog. I had a strange relationship with him, one of my paranoia that my pet would die and one of mutual respect. Rest in Peace tato, you will always find love from me.

FOOTNOTE: this is not in any way all of the plants i had intended. its just that this was supposed to be done like a month ago so i need to do this now, and leave out some stuff

I'm watching the Witcher! I have thoughts but I don't want to liveblog by spamming my blog with single posts so I'm just updating this one as i go. We good? Good.

Don't read this if you haven't watched it obviously because A spoilers duh and B it is pretty much incomprehensible if you haven't (and probably also if you have lol)

I've watched 8/8 episodes

Ep 1:

And right into action we jump! Nice

Ok. Killing a monster and a helpless injured animal in the first scene, it's that kind of show.

Fun bantz with daughter and dad i presume, love that

Bombarded with exposition. What's happening?

Lots of grey morality. Like it.

Very mirrory, that eclipse girl and the wizard. Who's right who's wrong? Who knows, Im sure we'll lose either way.

Really good clothing and set design!

The soundtrack is banger after another just very very good

I knew I find manbuns and half up half down hair very sexy but man if Geralt and that wizard guy from the royal storyline don't remind me of it, thank you for your service!

The fight choreography where geralt takes those men is superb and camerawork supports it in a way that's its actually possible to follow and enjoyable to watch, great job!

Hmm okay so seems like timelines are a bit fucky, princess scenes after geralt scenes

"I love you" "find Geralt of Rivia" OUCH

Good scenes but oh man i wouldn't want my rulers to just kill themselves during an attack yikes

Not to say that those suicides make me excited and confused but well i am definitely confused and excited for the princess storyline and what the heck those nilfgard (sp?) folks want.

Ep 2.:

Poor girl. (i wonder if thats makeup or if they actually cast an actress that looks like that, which would be v good)

So weird eye colours mean stuff?

Rat boy?

YES WE MET BARD BOY! Predictably I'm in love already. What a good first interaction

*Chanting* shrek dynamic shrek dynAMIC SHREK DYNAMIC!!!

I'm wheezing they really brought onions into this 👀

Thank the makers for not showing graphic self harm scenes 🙏

Powerful magic woman giving a monologue about chaos and magic? Hnnnggg

"Here i go again delivering exposition" *snort*

Hmm. What's the issue with the races? Elves etc i mean. And what's up with the guy wjo had to give "Fiona" shoes? He's one of the "clean ones"? Oof

Poor Yennefer.

Another good speech from powerful magic woman

Count on the bard to bring the laughs. And oof those elves, theres obviously some tension there.

Being Not human not another race but a Witcher does have its perks in talks with elves.

Things like "the great cleansing" worry me

There are three plots going on rn (i think theyre at the same time by now) and my priorities are 1. Geralt 2. Yennefer and 3. Fiona though 2. And 3. Is very close.

Hands down the most unrealistic thing is how everyone can repeat that language perfectly from having heard it once.

Yennefer is a half elven?

Huh. A game of marionettes and masters. The wizard controls the boy, the magician controld the girl.

Sidenote, the magic system of channeling chaos into magic and newtons 3rd law is metal and i love it

Eels, huh? Interesting.

So taking stock we have Bard (Human) & Geralt (Witcher), Yennefer (Half elf) and Humans, and Ciri (Human) & Dara (Elf).

First two episodes are over and I'm hooked. Excuse me while I go listen to "Toss a coin to your Witcher" on repeat a few hundred times now.

Ep 3

Here we gooooo

I watched half of it on a train and was too engrossed to write about

Fuck it up Yennefer!

Boob window!

Ok wait so wait wait wait is Yennefer still a Timeline before geralt?

Oh man beauty is a difficult concept

I miss the bard

Ep 4

What's that warrior women tribe and why did the forest call ciri?

I've had the bard for a day but if anything hapoens to him I'll kille everyone in this room and then myself

I love how his song has taken off!

Fuck yeah sidequest!

If i were to describe everything i loved about that scene id have to transcribe it whole

Timelines are fuckin... Fucky

Oh now we'll find out why grandmother wanted ciri to get geralt. Guess he made an impression

Damn she's so metal

Oh btw we love when media passes the bechdel test

Aww Yennefer.

Hmm.

That has to be a gambit

Ok i just read up on the law of surprise, and like to almosr everything in this ep my reaction is "metal af"

WHAT THE FUUUUUCK

Ep 5

Are you making a humunculus?

Doppler!???!?

Oh no poor wizard man

Oh Fremdscham alter Freund

These German accents oof

Oh Yennefer

Ragamuffin LOL

Jaskier huh? Nice name

Well fuck

Right. Good.

Make him drink the water! The doppler doesn't have good intentions

Also i really hope ciri isn't promised to geralt by the law of surprise in a yucky way

I love how lust and sex is handled here

"Flora and (yikes) Fauna" oh jaskier every word out of your mouth is peak comedy

Oof that guy Yennefer is traveling with

I bet they're gonna end up being a team anyways, i mean our main characters. Some how the others will perish.

Oh doppler you're so dumb

Witcher good ending: Geralt & Yennefer make a life with Ciri (I'm sure 1. fics are being written as we speak & 2. It wont happen)

Oh man that route

There's so much suicide and suicidal ideation in this it's crazy

And: called it!

There are so many insanely good quotes

"it's hard to regret something you didn't chose" yeah

Yennefer! Don't sleep with makeup

You forgot jaskier!

Yeah the hints were there. Blorchs fancy jacket...

Why does nothing good ever last. Yennefer and Geralt are so good together

And poor jaskier

We really in it now, Ariana

Ep 7

Wow calanthe you should know by now that these foul tricks don't work

Man, geralt cant catch a break

He's such a nerd

Harsh teachers get a lot of mileage out of "You're my best student"

... And that's why it's so easily used against their students.

Fuck i really care for these characters. Especially geralt, Yennefer and jaskier.

Yennefer just wanted to send sad girls on the drug trip of their lives and they're just... Hmm.

Ideology is so dangerous when it makes sense to you

And to think, geralt was right there under cintra

Well that was... Hmm

Ep 8

We haven't seen elves in a long time

Uh... No?

I dont accept geralt dying like that and at that time

OH HELL YEAH THAT INTRO ANIMATION

There's nothing

Of everything thats happened so far, the magic, the hotness, etc etc, i feel like my biggest fantasy brought to the screen in the witcher is a powerful teacher appreciating and spending time with a former student.

(*Tissania waving a glass of ale at Yennefer* me: god i wish that were me)

Ok but what's happening with geralt?

Who is vesemir

All those magic scenes are so good

Oof they just keep missing each other

Are they gonna meet in the last scene?

... They did. In the last scene.

Colour me interested in season 2! Off to tvtropes i guess and the tumblr tag.

Boy, oh boy I had another weird ass dream but this time it was HxH related and not snk. It was me watching supposedly new episodes of the anime that weren't following the manga and let me tell you, they were SO fucking bad that I constantly had this feeling of "no, this isn't real. They wouldnt do this shit. This hs to be a dream like theres no way?????” And would try to wake myself up because it felt way too real but also what I was watching wouldn’t be true. I would actually check my surroundings, my room and house but it felt so fucking real, everything was in place, my family was there doing their every day shit, the only weird ass surrealist shit was this new hxh ova so at some point I gave up and was like WELL I GUESS THIS SHIT IS HAPPENING until I couldn't handle how bad it was and tried to wake myself up again, this time I tried to write something but i couldnt actually write anything readable so that finally made me realize I was dreaming and that shit was so fucking relieving. You don’t get it, I was so fucking disappointed thinking that they actually did that shit to HxH... and now I’ll tell you what I saw

This new ovas started innocently enough with Killua and Alluka who had apparetly already explored a good part of the world and Killua decided that there was one place that was pretty special to him that he wanted his sister to see: Greed Island. For some reason Gon was suddenly there with them in their journey, they didn’t explain when or how he joined but I assumed it wasn’t important, it was just a time-skip and that detail didn’t matter (even tho I think that Gon reuniting with his best friend is a very important point we all would like to see). The plot got weirder when they just went there like on a plane? As if Greed Island were a physical place everyone could just go to and not a pretty exclusive game with hard access. That really annoyed me, the fact that they didn’t mention it being a game and that the only way they got to play it was by being hired by a rich man who had hired a lot of people just to have them win, like it wasn’t as if they had just gone there all willy-nilly, you know? Anyway, it just gets so much worse. Once they are in “Greed Island” Alluka just isn’t there anymore and no one fucking mentions it, which was infurating because the point was to show her that place. Killua and Gon are just there talking like “remember that one time we did all that stuff and then met Bisky blah blah” until a lady with extremely pronounced bosoms shows up and insists that she has to be with them (also her outfit didn’t leave a lot to the imagination so seeing this kind of fanservice in HxH pissed me off even more, it didn’t feel like HxH at all), Killua was like begone, thot and just wanted to run away from this creepy lady but she told them that every player (because suddenly it was a game again) had to be accompanied by one of them (there were multiple thots), she was like a guide for players and must be around them all the fucking time while making cute and provocative poses and noises and other fanservice shit. They tried to explained that they didn’t need (nor want) that because that’s not their first time there, they don’t need a guide but she couldn’t help that, it was just an update to the game and it wasn’t like she could decide what to do. They tried just to ignore her from that point on. They started to explore a forest and came across the 99′s versions of themselves which really fucked me up and of course them as well. At first, Gon and Killua thought this was some sort of trap, as if they were in a forest of illusions, you know? The guide lady didn’t explain shit. Somehow they came to the conclusion that their timelines had crossed or it was as if 2011 versions had gone to the past where the oldest versions of themselves were playing the game of the first time even though this version of the game had updates and shit they didn’t experience at that time. They argued a bit but this encounter didn’t matter a whole lot because then out of nowhere a fucking clown with light blue hair appeared and started being all creepy about Gon, it was 99s Hisoka in his first season look. Apparently this Gon could fully use nen again because Hisoka was babbling about how much powerful he was compared to the other Gon, which made the past counterparts a bit mad while Killua was like “well, if we’re you in the future of course we’re going to be stronger! Baka!” and started bikering with the other Killua while his Gon’s being harrassed. Then the “future” Hisoka showed up (aka 2011 version) who complained about how ugly the other Hisoka was and also expressed how he wasn’t pleased about him stalking his Gon when he had his own Gon and that it wasn’t his fault if that one wasn’t ripped yet. Killua got pretty mad hearing Hisoka say that Gon was his and tried to make the Hisokas fight hoping they’d kill each other or at least one would die which would be good enough ‘cause, hey! One Hisoka less is better than two Hisokas. But 2011 Hisoka explained that as much as he wanted to fight himself he couldn’t hurt the other Hisoka. It wasn’t clear if he meant that he physically couldn’t for some reason or if he was implying that 99s Hisoka was him in the past and that killing him would create a paradox, there a lot of weird fucking things left unexplained and I was pretty fucking pissed. Then Leorio appeared out of nowhere and he’s riding a motherfucking mammoth for no fucking reason and no one even asks what the fuck that is about. Why does he have a mammoth? Is it even real? Is it supposed to be part of the game? Is it actually just a nen beast? Why aren’t you studying, buddy? I don’t know, I don’t fucking know and nothing makes sense. Now comes a weird (yeah) bit in which the horny lady that was supposed to provide guidance kind of asks Leorio to feel her up to guess if she’s female or male and he refuses because that gave him Hunter Exam flashbacks which apparently are bad for him even though that time he touched the hot prisoner he was over the moon? But here it looks like the Hunter Exam flashbacks are giving him a bad case of ptsd which makes him leave all sad. Illumi also was there at one point but no one interacted with him, he was just being creepy in the background, starting at Killua but it seemed that no one even noticed him.

#i hate having long dreams sometimes #because they became frustrating #and also it really fucking sucks that I'm sure i'm dreaming but i'm not able to achieve a lucid dream #because for some reason i convince myself that it's actually real so i can't control anything #like i know i'm dreaming but i don't think i am #;diary #;dreams #;long post #this took me a lot of time to write #because i remember the things that happened but its kind of hard to find the right words to explain it
