📢Psychonauts NSR AU, Chapter 14: One Last Encore📢

They did it… they saved everyone… Milla and Sasha saw that the sun had risen and that fireworks were going off with their victory.

“Look at that, Milla. The city is cheering for us again. Isn’t that great?” Sasha asked. But there was no response. “Milla? Is everything all right?” Sasha asked. He then saw that Milla’s guitar… was broken. “Oh no, your guitar! Did it break during the last battle?” Sasha asked.

“It did… but I think we deserved it.” Milla spoke.

“Wh… what do you mean?” Sasha asked.

“We don’t deserve any hero’s welcome. Not after all the things we’ve done.” Milla replied as she dropped her guitar. Sasha couldn’t believe it… Milla wanted to be recognized, but she didn’t need it? That was… uncharacteristic of her. As the Qwasa came down, the two saw their fans cheering for them.

“You guys did it! You two saved the NSR tower! How do you guys feel after saving your enemies? Which… why did you do that?” The news reporter asked.

“We’ve changed. Catch you guys later.” Milla dismissed.

“But this opens so many questions! Are you guys retiring? Are you buddies with NSR now? Who was piloting that helicopter?” The News Reporter kept asking.

“I’ll get back to you on that. Thanks again.” Milla responded. Milla didn’t have time for the questions, after all… look at she had done. She captured all of the districts and nearly caused a satellite to crash into the NSR tower thanks to their hacking rock-loving fan. She just… she just felt like she didn’t deserve it. That was until… she heard a familiar voice.

“You think I’m just going to let you take off like that?” A voice asked. Milla turned around, seeing that it was Ford… who had a nice green streak in his hair.

“Oh, hi Ford. Love the new look.” Milla complimented.

“You could’ve taken the city for yourself but instead you choose to save my enterprise.” Ford spoke. “You have my deepest gratitude.” Ford thanked.

“Thanks… it was nothing. Couldn’t have done it without your help.” Milla replied. “Anyway, we’d better make a move first.” Milla said solemnly.

“Milla. Everyone is here to celebrate you and Sasha. Don,t you think it’s a little ride for you to simply leave? I’ve done these things a million times. Give the people a few words of encouragement.” Ford said as he pointed to the crowd. Milla looked at the crowd, and thought that… maybe he’s right. And she knew what she had to say.

“Sorry guys. I’ve made a huge mistake. I may not like EDM, but that’s okay.” Milla apologized. The people were confused. But they were reasonable. Milla bowed and took a step back.

“I’m glad you brought that up.” Ford said to the rocker. Ford then turned to the crowd. “I am also sorry for my own wrongdoings. And I take full responsibility for my actions. Having said that, I intend to fix this mistep, right here, right now.” Ford apologized. Then, DJ CCC, Raz, Lili, Captain Oleander, Lucky (and surprisingly Lars of all people) all walked up to him. “I have discussed with my artists and we have agreed. Vinyl City deserves better than this. No organization should be given absolute power. Hence, we’re going to rebuild NSR from the ground up. A new system, where all artists are welcomed to perform in our city. We shall celebrate equality for everyone! Equality and fairness, for all!” Ford explained. Everyone cheered at what Ford had said. “And as a first step, I am pleased to personally offer you two a position in the new NSR party.” Ford told the two rockers. “It would mean a great deal to us if you could join our cause. What do you say?” Ford explained. Milla was shocked. After all what she had done. She was confused. She then noticed the cheering crowd, chanting B2J.

“Well… I… uh…” Milla started. She then turned to Sasha, and then turned to Ford. “We can’t.” Milla quickly responded.

“You… you can’t?” Ford asked.

“Well… we’re not ready yet. Not now.” Milla replied. “I wanted fame so much that I lost sight of why I played music in the first place.” She explained.

“I see… so you’ll remain indie then?” Ford asked.

“I don’t know. But thank you so much for the offer. I’m honored, really. Despite what I did to you guys, you all are being really nice.” Milla said with some slight tears. “You all are really nice, but I need to lay low for a while. This is a lot for me to process. I’m sorry.” Milla apologized as the two rockers left.

“Hey, Milla!” Ford called. Milla and Sasha turned around to see what Ford had to say. “Catch!” Ford said as he threw something memorable… it was his guitar.

“Is… is this?” Milla asked.

“Take good care of her, understand?” Ford spoke.

“I… I can’t accept this!” Milla spoke.

“My love for rock may have returned but my performing days are behind me. And someone else needs to take that mantle.” Ford explained.

“But Ford! I can’t! I don’t deserve—”

“Milla. You are a performer. Where I have failed, I want you to go beyond. Carry on the journey for me. Long live rock!” Ford said with a smile.

Milla couldn’t help but smile and soon, the waterworks were going to happen. And then… it happened.

“Thankmfff— Thank you!” Milla cried with tears of joy.

“Uh Milla? You ok?” Sasha asked with worry. Milla didn’t respond, she just kept saying ‘thank you’ threw the tears of joy.

A month had passed, and things were very different. Most notably are that the blackouts no longer happened. And Milla and Sasha were going to their first ever concert.

The two arrived back stage and saw many gifts from NSR. The first gift was from DJ CCC, who gave them a copy of his music. The second gift was from Raz, who gave them some potato chips. The third gift was from Lili, who gave them a bouquet of flowers. The fourth gift was from 1010, which was a signd poster from them. The fifth gift was from Lucky, it was a very abstract image of Milla and Sasha. The sixth gift was from Lars, which was a tape recorder which read ‘I got you new tapes for you to record’. And the last gift was from Ford, which was an album of Septentrion and a message of Ford.

“It’s a funny world we live in. You often get caught up in your own beliefs that sometimes, you need to take a step back and see that the stage doesn’t just belong to you. We’re all in this together. And the sooner we acknowledge that, the quicker we can work towards a common goal. Everyone plays music for different reasons. Some do it for self-importance, some do it to bond with their loved ones, and some do it to understand their purpose in life. The important thing to know is this: there are no wrong answers. If we give everyone the opportunity to play their own music, we can build a world where creativity has no boundaries. Well, I’m happy to say that Vinyl City is steadily heading towards that direction. Never have I seen our lights shine so brightly, and it is all thanks to not just NSR alone, but to the performers, the fans, and everyone who resides in this magnificent city. And to Milla and Sasha, I thank you too. You showed me that being an artist is a wonderful privilege. You troublemakers. ~Ford Cruller” it read.

“You’re welcome.” Milla said to the letter.

“Hey Milla! The show’s about to start!” Sasha called.

“Coming!” Milla said as she grabbed her new guitar. She saw the lights, she saw her fans, she saw what she had became. A rockstar known by all… and she knew what she had to say.

“Are you ready!”

yknow AI art has ruined an entire genre of painting to me, i saw one of those smooth anime-realism pieces and immidiately thought ''ugh, AI art'' until i noticed it was posted by an established deviantart user 6 years ago. like ive never been a huge fan of that genre but it looks like a pretty difficult style to master and i feel bad for the artists who specialized in anime-realism only to have their entire market jacked by people typing keywords into midjourney.

#like. yall know the exact kind of smooth shaded anime realism i mean right. #its SO prevelant in ai art to the point that i end up always end up assuming that style is ai more often than not

This starts out as a nice gesture, then quickly becomes absolutely ridiculous.

One of many pieces of information rarely discussed that has stuck with me in studying the Holocaust in a literacy class is that people who survived the death camps often did not survive starvation. It is very difficult for a severely malnourished body to recover from starvation. A severely malnourished body will struggle to process food at all, and many people die in the process of “refeeding.” This is called refeeding syndrome for this reason. Reintroducing food can and often is fatal without careful, medical guidance.

Starvation is one of the most common and effective forms of genocide. What makes it effective is that past a certain point, even if aid has been delivered, it is not enough to save someone from death by starvation. What also makes it effective is that withholding food is viewed as a passive consequence of political turmoil rather than an intentional act of violence among a people. You will see more people die from starvation in genocides across history because it is an effective way to kill many people without the use of state resources.

The starvation of Gaza is intentional. The United States and Israel may gesture that they are delivering or allowing aid into Gaza, but in reality they are active participants in the starvation of Gaza by destroying medical infrastructure, limiting the amount of aid “allowed” in, and blocking aid trucks from entering. Throwing food into Gaza by airdrop at this point in the genocide will not be enough without medical infrastructure to refeed a severely malnourished population. Many will die anyways. Many have already.

they should invent a new type of "staying in bed for 2-3 hours after you wake up repeatedly opening and closing apps on your phone" where it makes you feel awesome and energized and emotionally fulfilled

#buny text #I'm fine i've just been staying up too late playing bg3 the past few nights #and then wanting to wake up before noon so my parents don't say anything rude to me so i end up getting less sleep to facilitate that #and it's catching up to me #i feel like this explanation maybe undermines my previous statement of 'I'm fine' a bit but I'm fine i promise #look at my lop posts boy

[cat4755776]

I’d just like to acknowledge that South Africa wouldn’t have such a strong case without the work of the journalists, both alive and martyred, on the ground in Gaza supplying the world with firsthand information about the genocide and that they deserve thanks for it.

can't believe we're all adults being forced into the club penguin level of censorship in 2024

#ramble #if you say unalive in front of me i will personally kill you with my hands #you just can't muffle and censor and hold someone's hand through some things #some things are horrible. and they should be spoken aloud and they should upset you. because they are horrible #the second we started kidzbopifying the world was the end of taking anything seriously i think #i'm not even joking i've spoken to people older than me who won't even say the world sex #this isn't the playground you're not going to get in trouble just let us say the word!!!!!! #how am i supposed to listen to you when you won't even say the thing you're supposed to be talking about #yes this is the fault of the platforms with their censorship rules but the fact that we all just go along with it like it's not dystopian #you do know it doesn't stop with cursing right. people are already having to censor queer terms because they get flagged as inappropriate

now she’s all ready for spooky season—are you? 🌕🐺

#animation #werewolf #artists on tumblr #procreate #idk WHY i had to paint in every single frame in procreate and also in parts #bc the layering meant i hit max layers and had to flatten as i cleaned #but the end result is ok and i could do it on the couch ig #looking forward to their new app! #art

"Don't just throw ripped jeans away, you can repair them using these 10 cute Visible Mending techniques!!" unfortunately my friend the first point of failure for every single pair of jeans i have owned in my life has been the Crotch and Ass. Knees: fine, cuffs: fine; but 3 years in, and all that stands between the world and my astronaut-patterned taint is 0.5µm of denim worn so thin that every squat threatens to tear it to shreds like wet toilet paper. If the Tiktok craft community could figure out a way to resurrect jeans afflicted in such a way that doesn't involve adding a whole ass buttpatch like some sort of inverse assless chaps situation then that'd be great

#and yes i have indeed experimented with trying to add invisible patches on the INSIDE of the jean but unfortunately #trying to sew anything to the non-euclidean hellscape that is the crotch area of a pair of pants #inevitably ends up 1. (hand-sewing) puckered as hell or 2. (machine sewing) w me accidentally sewing a leg hole closed 😔
