Machete and Vasco are so pomegranate-and-the-hand-that-slices coded. To me.

Pomegranates are seen as messy, bloody, inconvenient fruits. You slice or tear or bite and in return for your effort you come away underwhelmed, disgusted, and stained too deep to wash. The consumption of a pomegranate is a violent act of defilement, for both the fruit and the eater.

But that is because most do not understand how to open a pomegranate. They have little patience for the precise carving. They see no point in coreing the fruit gently, no reason to be reverent as they pull the quarters apart. When done correctly, opening a pomegranate leaves little mess. Your fingers will still stain, your knife will still slick, but there will be no pool of crimson drowning both you and the fruit.

The seeds are only sweet to those who understand the merit of a light hand and intricate slicing. Why put in so much effort for a food so bitter and clearly armored against consumption? Surely it must not yearn to be eaten.

[demodraws0606]

You know I think there is something interesting to say in terms of where the fuck WxS is going because like

I think WxS is the only unit where the end goal or overall progression is probably the most unknown out of all of them ???

MMJ and VBS are extremely obvious, they both have the most explicit goals that are said to us in a straightforward way

25-ji, in the end we know the main goal at the end will be for all of the characters to go over their hurdles with Mafuyu finally being able to find herself and move forward

Leo/need is probably the closest in terms of vagueness but we know the end goal is clear for them to grow as a band, probably ending in a big concert or something along those lines

But with WxS...like I guess the closest thing I can see to an end goal is all of WxS preparing a show together with everyone playing their part but that definitely doesn't feel like something you'd build up for an entire arc and definitely not something that feels fitting after the emotional turmoil that was the disbandement arc ???

In terms of physical achievements as well they literally revived an entire parc through one gigantic show, so it just comes into question what they can do now.

Then you look at their first few event for this arc considering usually the first event kinda set up what will be planned for the future but it's...weird.

Yeah, Tsukasa and Rui's events set up they're inexperienced and how they will grow in the future but also there is this weird feeling of something feeling off ?

The plays/scripts all are strangely depressing, the play in Tsukasa's event being about a failed writer planning to drown himself (which I believe is one of the only undeniable explicit description of suicide ever in the game?????) and the second being someone whose given up on life meeting their estranged sister only for her to become ill.

We even have Emu's side story in Rui's event where they watched the movie Rin was watching during the event made by the same producer and Emu herself note how depressing the story is (meanwhile the main character of the movie clearly parallels Rui)

We don't see the conclusion of these in-game stories as well, lingering on their worst moment never really seeing the presumably happy conclusion.

THEN we also have Emukasa fes which....again strangely different in tone from what you'd expect a WxS fes card, they're not really all that conclusive either. Tsukasa never aknowledges how he relates to the brother in the story and Emu doesn't really get a conclusion on her grief.

Then we also have Rui's entire fuckign event with the cards and his cyberpunk deadbo-YOU SEE WHAT IM SAYING

The closest we fucking have to knowing what WxS's fucking endgoal towards the story is, is fucking WL which....TELLS US NOTHING

At least with VBS we know that they're goal is to go even further beyond and conquer the whole world, that is a developpement of their goal.

What I'm saying is I don't know what the fuck colorpalet is cooking wiht WxS but I feel like i'm a fucking twilight zone reading the way they're writing WxS now because I can't be the only one feeling insane at how weird all of this is

#wxs #wonderlandxshowtime #project sekai #pjsk #prsk #wxs prsk #wxs pjsk #reading this fucking unit feels like i'm stuck in a strange hell dimension where everything just feels like foreshadowing or some kind of #fucking wink colorpalet is oding at me like it's not the first time they've done insane foreshadowing with wxs #in fact its the norm #i wish i could know what goes on in their head when they write these clowns cos i swear i can't understand what the fuck they're doing #like with other units i can geyt like a general idea #but like WxS ???? #they could go literally anywhere with them #i guess going to broadway could be like a huge goal but like ????? #it doesn't FEEL WxS yknow ? #especially after the disbandement arc which we technically haven't gotten really a conclusion for because...Emu's still gonna come back ?? #So like what do we do when Emu comes back to Pheonix Wonderland ????????????? #Cos I do think WxS would want to come back to perform but ESPECIALLY nene's dreams are kind of incompatible with that #cos we know she wants to perform all over the world like her idol #It's just #I guess I'm waiting to see what kind of unholy bullshit colorpalet has for us after the pain that was the disbandement arc #i was also tired while writing this so if this seems extremely rambly thats why #i'm just losing my mind

I got Faruzan, and I also had elegy, I was going to use elegy on Venti but he has a r3 stringless that has high EM. I feel bad for giving her his bow I was trying to save for him, but the only reason I got her was to make him and Scaramoche stronger!

I hope he isn’t mad at me 🥲

😬😬😬

Mad probably isn't the right word, not like he could ever truly be mad at you of course, but maybe concerned fits better? You're not thinking of investing more into her than him right?

He's a bow user too! He's got wayyy more experience with a bow that she does you know. Ha, someone who claims to be a century old or so? Try 26+

And don't think he's forgotten about our dear Scara there, you're not thinking of switching over to the shiny new anemo user, right? Honestly, it's his element, he shouldn't be one to discard so easily

You're in the clear for now, of course your choices are always absolute and he respect them no matter what, but he might just have to prove how he can perform even better with a simple 4 star bow that that nice pretty decked out limited time 5 star one, you wouldn't bench him then right?

first world problem alert but i wish mattel would stop essentially making the creeproductions basically limited edition. like if they marketed them as such i wouldn't care as much but the fact that they're not labeled as limited edition and then virtually are is just disappointing

#telly tells #monster high #like especially this go around because they sold out QUICK #and like. if i had the means i would have gotten ghoulia AND spectra but i just got spectra and now i have no idea when i'll be able to get #a ghoulia. like i'm super hyped over spectra but like. bittersweet that i coulnd't have ghoulia also bc she sold out already!!!! on release #and like also why haven't they restocked the first four repros too??? my only thought is that they don't want them competing with g3 on #shelves but like. people will still buy g3. then mattel would just be making double profits from ppl buying the repros too #just like i don't know. like yes consumerism is bad but like it angers me when companies whose ENTIRE GOAL is making profit just. #discard perfect opportunities to make BANK

[robinsnest2111]

screaming sobbing crying internally because I still think about people i used to be friends with who, in hindsight, helped me grow into who I am today, who saw this unsocialised shaking anxious chihuahua of a chubby insecure utterly dysfunctional teen and wanted to spend time with me and teach me social skills anyway, who literally taught me to stand up for myself and got me comfortable with positive human interaction and physical touch after years of physical and verbal and emotional abuse, giving me some of the first hugs and headpats and cuddles i had recieved in years at the time. I wanna reconnect, and see what they've been up to, how they have grown and evolved over the years we've not spoken or seen each other, wanna tell them how much I appreciate all they've done for me, apologise for not being able to fully appreciate or reciprocate in the moment years ago because I was still growing and learning and in the thick of mental illness and trauma, try to give it all back tenfold because THEY DESERVE TO BE SHOWERED IN LOVE AND APPRECIATION!!!!!!!!!!!

#i already tried reaching out leaving them the option to reply if they feel comfortable #but it has been A While and i have not gotten anything back yet #i probably never will and i gotta be okay with it #BUT STILL!!!!!!!! (pointing at the wall of text above) #i sometimes just. think about them. and i get the most complicated mix of Big Emotions over it all....... #either way. i really hope they're doing okay wherever they are and whatever they're doing with their life now #just. sending my love and appreciation out to them mentally and hoping it reaches them somehow #i really do not want to annoy them by trying to reach out again after they haven't replied to my first attempt augh #anyway. feels of the night. had to get them out

#psy's no punctuation posts #history tag #i still haven't gotten around to read that chonky ass bio Chernow did on him yet #he seems very well-meaning but also really fucking stupid and bullheaded at the worst of times #his entire second term is just him getting fucked over by his family and friends who were using his presidency for financial gain #and because he's too loyal he keeps defending them and refusing to accept they did anything wrong #so he continually digs a hole deeper and deeper for himself and he's falling apart at the seams but he can't stop it now #he fucking obliterated his reputation in his second term shit was rough #i actually do feel kinda bad for him but also. he is a grown man who was PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES #and yet he let more politically savvy friends push him around bcs he had no political experience #honestly it feels like he has contempt for politics idk why the fuck he even ran for president. sir go home. do. whatever it is you do #when a war isn't happening KRKF

[cybernightart]

OK AU IDEA!

Very rushed I'm just writing this down because I came up with this 30 minutes ago and I have not thought it out very well and I'm too lazy to really double check my writing so probably a lot of grammatical errors in spelling errors or something I don't know lol

We know from one voice line from retribution between Genji and Reyes that talon tried to partner with the shimada clan but sojiro declined as they're view didnt aline.

Well what if he had agreed?

So Genji and Hanzo were raised in talon made to be not only shimada assassins but talon operative assassins so they were somehow even more brutal and inhumane than the shimada clan already was.

How Genji would end up joining OverWatch would be during an OverWatch mission to break into a talon base something goes wrong and one of them (Cass or Angela probably) can't make it back to the dropship or they're trapped or something, and genji knowing if talon finds out what he did they would kill him decides against his better judgment and decides to help the OverWatch agent he has no idea who they are.

And once he gets the agent back to the dropship Reagan's turns to him and offers him a place in OverWatch because he knows fine well talon/the shimada are going to have him killed for betraying them, and genji agrees. And eventually when they get back to base and after Reyes has finished convincing Morrison, once they start filling out his medical paperwork and a whole bunch of other stuff Reyes finds out that Genji is a cyborg.

And instead of becoming a cyborg once he was in OverWatch because his brother tried to kill him like normal, since he and Hanzo were raised in an even more violent and bloodthirsty environment they would often be made by each other and whoever lost would be punished either through extensive additional training, have something taken away that's the basic necessity, and eventually after those punishments weren't working and Genji was still losing to Hanzo, they started to replace parts. (Think like nebula and gamora from guardians of the galaxy) and since doomfist's family owns a cybernetics company it isn't too much of a stretch that they would have someone who could replace parts.

And the reason they were so easy with allowing an ex-talon operative to join OverWatch was because Baptiste had already joined at this point, and was the medic of black watch (moira is already gone at this point, they realized she didn't exactly have normal limits a lot faster). So they offered Genji a role in black watch alongside Cassidy, Baptiste, and sombra (because I want her to be here too). Since Genji already was wearing a mask when they met him, they didn't take it as very much of a surprise when he requested that his new black watch attire be armor and the helmet and you couldn't see his face or even eyes, they willingly obliged especially considering they allowed Cassidy to dress like a cowboy they couldn't exactly say no to the cyborg ninja to allow him to dress like a cyborg ninja, so his armor was made and it looks like his current armor but black watch color palette and instead of his normal hoodie and joggers he has black watch attire and looks more like he's on a black ops strike team. This black watch strike team would train alongside the OverWatch strike team and everyone even a lot of the black watch members at first the longest time thought Genji was an omnic because he never took off his armor in front of people except for Cassidy because they were roommates and Genji didn't sleep in the armor. The other black watch members found out a lot faster than the OverWatch team obviously from being around each other more but none of them ever talked about the fact Genji was actually a human so everyone still just assumed outside of black watch he was an omnic.

Also Genji's cybernetics look more along the lines of sojourns, where you can tell their cybernetics but they look more human than pure robotic. Also since he never went through a Playboy phase he starts off as more cold, aggressive, and quiet. But eventually when he starts warming up to everyone and learns that you can actually be a nice person and not constantly have to worry about someone trying to murder you or having to murder someone else he eventually shows off his more warm bubbly caring side to his personality.

Hanzo in this AU is still a part of talon but he is very internally conflicted because she does care about his brother in a weird way because even though he knows he calls them a lot of pain he still does care about him, and the fact he knows he calls him a lot of pain and creates a lot of inner turmoil in him that he is trying to push down but it's getting near a breaking point. And he is slowly becoming more and more uncertain of Talon's actions, with the final breaking point being when he almost kills his own brother during another OverWatch mission a couple years later and the shock of both realizing that his brother is alive, is on the other side, and that he almost killed him freaks him out to the point that he ends up running away from talon on his own. Not to join OverWatch at least not immediately he goes about by himself for a while trying to figure out reality and get a grip on what things are actually like because he is no idea because both of them had been brainwashed so much to the point they had no concept of what the real world is like.

Also probably kiriko would be a part of talon too as one of the assassins, and is probably the last of the three to leave because she has her mother still tying her there, and the anger of her believing that Genji and Hanzo just abandoned her when that is not what they were doing what was an accidental side product of what they were actually trying to do.

That's all I've got so far , again I did only come up with this like 30 minutes ago lol. feel free to add your own input!

#overwatch #overwatch 2 #genji #genji shimada #hanzo #hanzo shimada #OverWatch au #shimada bros #shimada/talon au #there is so many redemption arcs in this and only Genji's go semi smoothly for the trio #I also really like the idea of black watch being comprised of ex-criminals #like Reyes saw the good in them and gave them a second chance rather than shipping them straight to jail like Morrison was wanting to do #also the only reason black watch exist is because Morrison respects Reyes and Morrison does not like any of the black watch members #he may respect Reyes but he does not respect all of the “criminals” that Reyes decided to “stupidly” put his trust in #especially after Moira #they still haven't really gotten over what moira did yet

The fifty-fifth free, unedited chapter of my upcoming book, “The Heist at Cordia Aquarium” is now available on its website (or click here to read from the beginning).

Throbbing, unceasing pain — sometimes stabbing. It's like the other two are driving nails into Waylon's temple with a sledgehammer. Ivan and Thea plod along, whispering in the dark somewhere behind him. Keeping themselves distracted from anything important.

Waylon runs a hand overtop of a pipe's chipping paint. This one can direct him all the way to the door he's looking for: the entrance to the service area of the penguin enclosure. At least those two are keeping up.

They're still talking, but he needs them to focus now. "We're almost there." He calls back.

Ivan and Thea ignore him, choosing to keep their hushed conversation going as if he had said nothing at all. Something about wrestling if he's hearing the words right.

Waylon grits his teeth. What did he do wrong? Every heist movie has a hard-ass, stoic type that tries to keep the team on track. Whatever. Phil was the people person.

[...]

Stella sent in a few more character sheets and I’m too excited to wait for a relevant chapter to share them. So here is Albert in all their absolutely awful glory. I love them.
