Goodbye...

The final comic... The end of the Scrambled Gegg series... Wow, it's been a ride. I hope you all enjoyed, BUT DON'T LEAVE! Sick around because more comics and animations are coming! (Plus, the next comic will be decided by you guys!)

I'm so glad you all loved my Scrambled Gegg AU, and for those loyal fans, check out the epilogue- the secret~

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10 / 11 / 12 / 13 / 14 (THE END)

Transcript:

Everyone: Sorry, but no we haven't seen Gegg.

...

Slime: So... It's been a while since we spoke. It feels like were different people at this point.

Slime: Gegg?

Slime: I'm Sorry.

Slime: I know I'm not Quackity, but I'm sorry anyways... I wanted to be loved to... But-

Slime: I don't think either of us will find the love we were looking for... and honestly... I'm too tired to keep looking.

Slime: Maybe you'll find something greater then... then the comfort of family or love. Keep Going.

Slime: Because even though I'm tired, you still have a lot left in your soft mailable shell.

Slime: Live your life, Gegg. I'll come back when you're ready.

Slime: So, what's the plan?

...

Philza: So, are you finally going to tell me what's going on?

Quackity: I... Yeah, it's about time I told you... Gegg and I have been fighting for a while. Because I didn't want a new kid and... Because Gegg is Slimecicle.

Philza: WHAT!?

Quackity: Yes, and recently he has been forgetting who he is.

Quackity: And it's my fault. I gave him the idea... but I didn't expect it to work.

Quackity: I talked to Roier about it. We agreed he shouldn't transform into Gegg for a while...

Quackity: But then... I got drunk and said stuff and he...

Quackity: Gegg forcefully transformed or something and ran away.

Quackity: I... I just need to make sure I haven't f***ed up another egg.

Philza: We should take a walk. Then we'll keep looking.

Quackity: Gegg!

Quackity: D*** it.

The Note-

I made some mistakes and wasn’t what you wanted, but I did my best. Something is wrong with me. I know. So I’m going away for a while. Tell Gegg to stay strong. Tell Marianna he's still a b****. Tell Wilbur he’s doing his best, and please visit Juanaflippa’s grave… I’m sorry.

Goodbye

An innocent man was falsely accused/framed for something he didn't do, was sent to an alien jail and everyone in there think he is a Hired Killer.

(I post it on here: https://www.reddit.com/r/humansarespaceorcs/comments/ulhio9/an_innocent_man_was_falsely_accusedframed_for/ and I want to re-repost it on here)

A man named Willie was framed for something he didn't do, as punishment, he was sent to an alien jail on the far side of the galaxy. when he got there, one of the aliens ask him how did he end up here?.

"I was a cleaner" a janitor "I am still trying to understand how this all happen?!." the alien thinks 'cleaner' is a nickname for a contract killer and the news of that share like crazy in there.

it didn't help for Willie that he was actually really good at his job and clean up messes like they didn't happen in the first place which add more fuel to the fire.

(someone can take this idea and go nuts with it.)

---

(the person who replay that post)

A1: a large spider-like alien asks So Human Willie, answer my questions and we might forgive this transgression. What has cursed me with your presence in my cell? What is your occupation? And who is your sponsor?

Willie: Well I don’t want any trouble. I got assigned as your cell mate, but what does my job matter?

A1: mandibles rattling in a laugh Human you are in my nest. Either you answer or I will use your skin as my bedding.

Willie: Oooookay then…. I was a cleaner. Worked many gigs on many worlds, a few space stations as well.

A1: A….a cleaner you say? And…. Who did you say your sponsor was?

Willie: Sponsor? I don’t have a sponsor, never needed one. Jobs always payed well enough, I just ran on my own power. Sometimes Ive had to…. Haggle…. with my customers but they always paid.

A1: I apologize, please forgive my hostility. A cleaner is an honored professional among T’carians. I offer you the choice of bunk as tribute for my insolence.

Willie: I…ummm thanks? I think id prefer the bottom bunk if thats okay?

A2: in walks a giant mantis What is this? A tasty snack has found its way into your web on its own?

A1: SILENCE!!! This is the a Cleaner you are speaking to! You will show him due respect or you may find yourself washed up.

A2: Oh….oh no… I am sorry please forgive me, I ment no offence. Please, I have some food rations I was saving but they are yours. I will retrieve them. Please don’t hurt me. runs away

Willie: What the fu-in walks/slimes a slug like being

A3: Hahahah why did Clix’tiab run out of here looking like he was going to void his bowels? He looked like he’s seen a-notices Willie oh no…… hey man Willie I got your money, I wasn’t trying to hide from you I just have been locked up is all. Don’t worry, Ill get right on having those credits sent to you right now. runs away

Willie: ….Well at least hes gonna pay me after that bullshit party he threw. Fuckin mess that was. Had eggs everywhere but was supposed to get paid extra to make sure the place was spotless after. You ever have to scrape burnt eggs from a cast iron pan?

A1: I….I have to go. It….I…think I heard my name called. I must go. flees

---

(something I made/add on to this idea)

ok, imagine this. one of the aliens in the jail got curious and ask him "what kind of place did you hate...'cleaning' at?" and Willie is immediately started to talk about one of the worst places that he had to clean up, a 4 out 5 star restaurant.

"OH! you want to know?!, let's talk about... 'that place' which I can't say because for an obvious reason." they pay him a lot of money to not say anything about it "but oh my fucking god, the money they give was not enough, I had to ask them to double my pay or I was going to throw them under the bus. because... have you cleaned up rotten meat before?... it's a nightmare, the smell, look, and hell, even when I had the gas mask on, I can still taste it in the back of my throat right now."

"it was so hard trying not to throw up and make more of a mess that was already going on in their place. and I hope you like putting trash bags inside of trash bags because that is what you need to do or you have that shit leaking through the bag."

"it was pure nightmare but one of the important things I learn and for some reason, if you need to clean up rotten meat. use lemon juice, lemon juice is going to be your best friend if you want to clean up and remove the smell off of you." that job took him 10 hours to get it done.

the alien who asks that is now very scared.

You know, I just saw a post supporting the writer's strike and saying there are plenty of old shows to watch... and it occurred to me that it might be good to share some shows we love just in case people haven't seen them yet.

Places that make it easy to find where to watch things: Reelgood and JustWatch. Check both, they sometimes conflict, get it wrong, etc.

My Recs (in hopes others will add) (admittedly the low hanging fruit):

The X-Files, 1993, 11 Seasons, free on freevee, available on Hulu, can rent or buy other places. If you haven't seen X-Files, you're missing out. It was a smash hit in the 90's for a good reason. Two detectives, a believer and a skeptic, try to solve unsolvable mysteries in the midst of grand conspiracy. And find, somehow, that as much as they annoy each other, they need each other.

Babylon 5, 1993 / 1994, 5 Seasons, free on Roku and Tubi. An Epic Space Opera that never quite got the success it deserved. It is one of those things whose influence is written all over modern sci-fi and fantasy without much acknowledgement. This is the interplay of empires and mythology, double dealing and political cruelty.

SPACE: 1999, 1975, 2 seasons, free on Crackle, Peacock, Fubo, Pluto, Freevee, Plex, Shout, and Roku. I dare you to listen to the theme song and not feel the groove of this classic campy space opera. When Earth's moon is ejected from orbit to hurtle through the galaxy, the people of Moonbase Alpha have to confront new alien weirdness every week. Part of what makes it so good is that the show takes itself completely seriously, there's no wink and nod in here.

Kindred: The Embraced, 1996, 1 Season, available as a slime tutorial. It's Vampire: The Masquerade as a cheesy soap opera. There are constant reminders of what the clans are like in the most pointed, ridiculous dialogue you can imagine. Had the lead actor not died, this show might have found its place in a couple of more seasons, as it is, it is deliciously campy and dumb. Days of our LARP.

Profit, 1996, 1 Season, available as a slime tutorial. What if the Antagonist was the Main Character. Profit was ahead of its time. It would be right at home in the modern streaming era but it absolutely didn't fit in its own day and age. Profit is dark and twisted (For people who follow me, see if you can find an early inspirations for JJ) with mature and uncomfortable themes. One of its benefits is that it was network televison, so it couldn't show all the gratuitous violence and sex that it would be given if it was made today. It's psychological violence and murder off screen, which, if you let yourself get into it, can grow into worse things than can be shown. Profit is about power, greed, and ruthlessness and what happens when someone even more ruthless and immoral than you shows up.

Farscape, 1999, 4 seasons and a TV movie, available for free on crackle, peacock, popcornflix, shout, freevee, pluto, roku, and tubi. In spite of my picture, this is live action space opera, but it is looney tunes, literally in one episode. This is what happens when the Jim Henson company decides to make a space opera as far away from Star Trek as possible. It's zany, over the top, sometimes hilarious, often creepy, and there's only one human who is far out of his depth.

Blake's 7, 1978, 4 seasons, available on BritBox, and you should be able to find all of it with a little searching on youtube. Like Farscape, this show focuses on escaped prisoners but when they find an advanced spacecraft, they decide to become freedom fighters against their fascist regime instead of just trying to escape. Darker than most of what you could find on US tv until fairly recently. These are wounded people in hostile space.

The Outer Limits, 1995, 7 seasons. Free on Roku. This is a sci-fi anthology series. Some episodes are more interesting and thought provoking than others but overall a lot of good stories.

There are now 12 series with 44 seasons between them totaling up to 880 episodes of Star Trek. That's about 3 months straight of 24 hour programming if you ran it back to back with no pauses at all. That's a lot of show. Mostly on Paramount+ but it's probably not terribly difficult to find the material less officially. It may not all be your cup of earl grey but there's a lot to try out to see if you like it.

1899, 2022, 1 season (cancelled), available on Netflix or wherever else one finds shows. This is my only modern show because I know it didn't get a lot of viewership in spite of being brilliantly twisty. 1899 is one of those shows that it is very hard to talk about without spoilers. I think it is however immediately obvious that the cruise ship Kerebos, en route to New York, is not at all in the situation it appears to be in. It is magnificently multilingual with the ability to communicate when you can't speak each other's language front and center in the narrative. It's sadly cancelled and the creators are on record that they don't want to finish it in another medium so we'll never know exactly what happened but there is wonder to be had from this first season.

Magnum P.I., 1980, 8 seasons. Free on freevee and Roku. 1 season available with Amazon Prime, rest for rent or purchase. Mix a lovable goofball naval vet with PTSD and a very stiff necked British curmudgeon vet with PTSD and you get a fun mystery every week in paradise. Magnum shrugs off most of his work and pawns it on to his friends getting by on charm and some wit.

Murder, She Wrote, 1984, 12 seasons. All available for free on Roku. 6 seasons available for free on freevee. Note that one of the primary writers for Murder, She Wrote was J. Michael Straczynski, this is the job that got him the ability to make Babylon 5. Jessica Fletcher is a charming and clever lady who has retired to the placid sea side village of Cabot Cove to write mystery novels but somehow always ends up at murder scenes. It has been estimated that if Cabot Cove was real, it would be the murder capital of the US.

Tales from the Crypt, 1989, 7 seasons, available as a slime tutorial. To get it to lucky number 13, I present another great anthology show. Every episode a different tale of the macabre or horrific. The crypt keeper is a charmingly gruesome host and there are a few episodes that have stuck with me since I first saw them in the 90's.

Hopefully one among these number can fulfill your needs and if not, hopefully someone else will tack on a few more. I know I left out plenty of my own favorites. There's lots to see while your current faves are on hiatus. There might be a brand new fandom waiting for you.

Warning!

Long ramble about pizza tower even though I'm mostly talking about basics and levels and like other stuff ig!

Future me: sorry if it's cut off Tumblr keeps goofin around

Pizza tower spoilers even though I think everybody knows what it is but just in case I'll leave some stuff out.

Lets start off with the story, when we open up the game we get a little intro for why we are in the tower but there isn't much story that comes with it. The protagonist Peppino spaghetti is first seen in the first part of the cut scene and he looks miserable because he isn't able to pay his debt(Boohoo) when suddenly something appears in his restaurant, it's pizzaface, the main Gillian of the game and he is here to kill you with no regrets. He threatens peppino to go to his Pizza tower or he is gonna get a big ass Lazer and Lazer blast the living shit out of peppinos pizzeria so peppino is there like "DAAAAAAAMNNN DON'T DO THAT" and he starts running to the tower chasing the flying pizza but as soon as peppino enters the tower pizzaface that coward flew some where so peppino is all like "omg" and then the door slams shut behind him and he's all scared and stuff. Thats the story(that is not very accurate but accurate) anyway let's talk about tower basics. There are 5 floors, 6 bosses, 20 levels, 19 treasures, 95 toppins in total(but there are five for each level), and 57 secrets, and 26 clothes in total for peppinito of your counting both classic cook clothes and Halloween clothes of course. And also there are some hidden rooms throughout the tower and there are exactly 6 secret hub rooms. Lets start the game now, when you first enter the tower and walk to the right(idk my lefts and right so correct me if I'm wrong)there will be a pizza coded door, that is called tutoriel(undertale joke) you have to do the tutorial because it is necessary, unskipabble even if you wanna skip it! Don't complain just speed run it, but anyway in the level you will find an NPC called "Pizza granny" Granny will teach you basic movesets that peppino has so you don't keep getting them D-ranks, also while this is the tutorial pzaGranny doesn't show all the movesets you can use and I like this because on your way while beating the tower you can learn new things that peppino can do like the cute twirl and also that thing where he slides on the ground and starts going at max speed .. I think thats called match dash I have no memory of what that's called whatsoever but anywho if you beat the tutorial in under 2 mins or to be exact 1 minute and 45 seconds you will get access to all Lap 2 portals, Ill explain what those are later but first let's continue, after you beat the tutorial the hard pizza blocks that were blocking your way blow up and now you have access to other levels including John gutter, pizza escape, ancient cheese(should of been ancient grease THE PUN IS RIGHT THERE!! ANCIENT GREASE! IT'S RIGHT THERE AAAAA), Bloodsauce dungeon and The first boss fight which is none other then the pretty pepper himself, Pepperman. I love this idiot. Anyway back to the levels, when you beat tutorial as I said you unlock those levels and first you get to John gutter, once you enter John gutter your met with this purple themed area with many dead John's and also other enemies like cheese slimes and fork knights and monkeys(they are so annoying but silly), as you run along this new level you get to actually bring that moveset style stuff you just learned from the tutoriel to life because John gutter is a great example of what you should do after you learn how to play so let's just say that John gutter is like tutorial number 2 but more level-y. Yea. Anyways there are secrets here, hidden around but hard to pass(sometimes) and when you get to these you'll find an eyeball that's not fully pink but has some pink on it with pretty pretty eyelashes and when ya run into them you your teleported into a different room that is pink, the background has drawings of like eyes and little question marks or whateva and guess what! Every different eye you run into in every different level contains a different set up(duh) with different characters too because they are all randomized! So what I'm trying to say is each character you meet that are on these little brown pizza box platforms are just uhh different each time.. Like the levels(didn't know what to say). Anyway I know

#rambles #pizza tower #info dump #Aaa i can't contain the information anymore

Be Your Inspiration

Request: Do more about Crimson(from Ragna Crimson) with reader fluff pls 🙇🙇

Happily😋BTW I'm on winter break everyone!! I've been made aware the anime is out; however, I have no idea how far along it is, so just incase manga spoilers

Request Masterlist Crimson x f!reader Genres:🎉🌸💞🧪

You're not sure how long you've been teamed up with Crimson, what you do know is you have been around long enough to know Crimson like the back of your hand. And recently he seems to be having some trouble that is going unspoken.

The new recruit shouldn't be to blame, he couldn't have known, but you can't help but associate some blame with Ragna. I mean, Crimson hasn't looked this stressed out since never!

Taking out the winged bloodline is proving troublesome, and the recent lack of progress must also be the cause of all this stress. But! Instead of theorizing on the various reason for Crimson's behavior, why not just ask?

...

A terrible idea really, I apologize for suggesting it. As expected, he avoided all your subtle hints, even changing the topic completely to get you to stop your interrogation.

Let's start again at square one, shall we? Crimson has a problem, but won't tell you the reason to that problem directly. So, how about this, you get the new and very valuable recruit to aid you in your quest by causing absolute mayhem.

After some convincing and cheering from Slime, Ragna agreed to cause trouble if the end goal made Crimson better. That poor boy is so gullible for being your bait, please apologize to him later.

...

Yeah he needs that apology right now, Crimson is giving Ragna the scolding of a lifetime. But luckily for you, Crimson is now ~vulnerable~ and definitely more willing to talk in this state.

Upon questioning him once more, you are hit with the sad reality of what it means to be leader. You did not expect this much venting when inquiring about recent trouble, but you're too deep in now.

"That idiot keeps ruining my plans! We're more than likely set back another 5 years at this point!" Yikes, Crimson ain't happy. Though it was the next line you heard that really broke you.

"Why do I even keep fighting at this point?" He looks down in shame, "if nothing goes my way and I can't even fix it, why bothering reaching for my goal?"

Oh no, no no no, we can't have the leader give up and lose motivation now. "Because it is your destiny to win, to let the world know who defeated the Dragon God."

"What if it's not? And this fool is a testament to put me in my place?" Crimson rebukes.

"I know it's not, because I've seen you and your abilities, and I know you can become more than you are right now. I'll help you find that flame that started your journey, and believe in you until the end of it." You were gripping Crimson's shoulders and looking into his eyes.

For a second you could've swore you saw him tear up before turning around. "We'll work on a new plan against Artemisia tomorrow."

Some sacrifices were made, but at least you got your Crimson back.

ngl i struggled with the plot for a hot minute

if yall can't tell the ending was inspired by Find Your Flame :)

this also feels significantly shorter than the last fic but less cringe, why can't i pick a struggle

#ragna crimson #crimson ragna crimson #crimson x reader #ragna crimson x reader

I want to talk about an unofficial(?) trope of isekai anime that I've seen in action like six times... the 'Slimes are somehow OP' thing!

Either by killing, taming, or being a slime you can become OP. That's fucking hilarious to me, and it'll probably never stop being fun to me!

Slimes are your typical low level enemy that you see in the start of the game that probably won't be able to kill you. Like goblins, but usually not even sentient. So when an anime decides to subvert the 'slimes are a weak nuisance' thing it has the potential to be really funny!

With That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime our protagonist is reborn as a slime, aka the weakest monster to exist. They may not be strong or smart, but actually have some decent advantages to being one. They don't need food as they can just eat magic, so no need for hunting or buying food. Their entire body is their brain, so they don't have one specific weak spot. They also don't sleep, don't breathe, and have temperature resistances. That means no time wasted on sleep, can go to places a human can't, and don't need to work about heat or cold. They also can regenerate their body's and absorb and dissolve things. Provided you have a way to level them up and give them sentience, they could actually be useful to you. Rimuru is one of the strongest beings alive despite being a slime, so if you have skills to go well with it reincarnating into one may not be a bad idea.

In the anime/manga 'I've Been Killing Slimes for 300 Years and Maxed Out My Level' you definitely wouldn't want to be a slime, but they can still help you along quite a bit. Azusa is reincarnated as an unaging witch, and lives a peaceful life killing the local slimes. They are somewhat incapable of doing damage and take a single hit by a level one adventurer to kill. By killing 25~ a day and selling their loot, Azusa's casual lifestyle is enough to not only buy food and necessitys, but also enough to level her up to the maximum level. If you have time and want to level up with no risk to yourself, find an area with a high density of slimes and kill as many as you can every day, and slowly but surely you'll be able to level up and learn more magic.

Now we move on to the uses of taming slimes for power!

In 'My Isekai Life: I Gained a Second Character Class and Became the Strongest Sage in the World!' a man named Yuji is reincarnates as a 'Monster Tamer', which is widely regarded as the weakest class. He tames a bunch of friendly slimes, and quickly figures out that he can learn skills and cast magic through his new companions. He can also communicate with them through long distances to use them as scouts and mobile weapons, and he can store items inside of them. Tame some slimes, find some magic books, and get learning to be able to have an OP army at your disposal!

'By the Grace of the Gods' is my least favorite on this list, enough that I never finished it. An adult man named Ryoma is reincarnated as a small child, and spends a few years breeding different varieties of slimes. (The reason I dislike it is unrelated to this, I can talk about that in another post if anyone is interested.) By figuring out their potential to evolve, Ryoma is able to have 37 different types of slimes at his disposal. There's ones that can clean, another that can grow plants, make medicine, and one that seems to just be made out of blood.

Last one I've got for you is called 'Black Summoner' and though it only has one slime, it still proves my point. Tamers are the rarest class in the world, but if your somehow fortunate to end up as a tamer I would highly recommend adding a slime to your team. Kelvins first tamed monster is a slime named Clotho. Clotho started out with 5 HP but quickly level up by fighting and absorbing other weak slimes. Eventually he evolves into a 'Slime Gluttonia', a monster known for being extremely rare and dangerous. Even on his own Clotho is a powerhouse, but his abilities to assist the team make him even better. He can store items in his body, and he can also split into smaller pieces. Tamers in this world have a special ability that allows for telepathic communication between monster and master. By splitting himself into pieces and clinging to other people, he can give them access to the telepathic chat room.

Rimaru is a slime who's one of the most powerful beings in their world. Azusa got so powerful by casually killing slimes. Yuji is strong because he was able to use his slimes to their full potential. Ryoma is strong on his own, but by using his slimes he has an army of useful companions. Kelvin isn't powerful because of his slime, but by using him the way he did, it was able to kickstart his adventuring career and more.

Tell me, are slimes pathetic now?

tag game (horizon)

tagged by @artekai 💕🤝💖 thanks, pal!

1. ride or die ship: fashav/kotallo straight to my grave. mythological tragedies, those two, i tell you what.

2. most annoying ship: the boat aloy takes to san francisco. can you imagine, never rowing before in your life and making that trek through choppy currents and storms? insufferable.

3. second favorite ship: aloy/kotallo. the parallels of aloy and kotallo being forced into roles they never wanted, being alone and outcast from their tribes, moving through their grief and rage by learning to trust a new found family? being seen by another for more than their physical prowess but their humanity and creativity? excellent shit.

4. favorite platonic relationship: SYLENS AND BETA AND GAIA. Sylens getting taken down a fucking peg or two by a teenage girl and an infinitely compassionate AI. Beta being able to collaborate with someone (and an AI) who sees well beyond her mistakes and faults. GAIA finding consistent, complex companions who remind her fondly of Lis. Sylens making Beta food and teaching her how to cook. HELP ME.

5. Underrated ship: So many. I really love Aloy/Drakka. The idea of him being such a counter to Aloy’s single-minded focus on saving the world by being an absolute goober. But her seeing that he cares so very deeply about doing the right thing and protecting his people. Alva/Beta is sweet. I dig Erend/Talanah.

6. overrated ship: the odyssey. just kidding, i already made a joke about a boat.

7. one thing i would change in canon: the entire last act? specifically varl’s death, that kotallo doesn’t fly to the grove with aloy, that aloy ends the entire tenakth/regalla conflict via single combat duel, and then fights alone twice more with erik and tilda. RIP all the build up to aloy understanding that she’s not alone and all the people in her life are as competent and complex and have just as much stake in the fate of the world as she does. and beyond that, i deeply regret the way they wrote talanah in hfw. she shoulda had that fourth bunk in the base.

8. something canon did right: don’t get me wrong, i wish fashav hadn’t died at barren light, but i love his back story and everything we find out through his journals. added so much nuance to carja and tenakth cultures and characters in just a handful of paragraphs.

9. a thing i’m proud of creating for the fandom: i’ve been in a perpetual state of burnout for yeeeeeears. this kotallo portrait was the first piece i’ve drawn in ages. i’m also working on a bookbinding project and doing art for Kotallo with amazing folks on Focus on the Heart.

10. a character who is perfect to me: Hekarro. I hope the writers, animators, and actor who made him come to life are very proud of their work.

11. character i relate to most and why: uhhh like every other neurodivergent queer with trauma and parental issues, i gotta go with beta.

12. character(s) i hate most and why: tekkoteh. absolute steaming pile of shit. genuinely every time i think i’ve reached peak hatred for that slime, someone writes a beautiful fic where i find myself despising him more. in my interpretation, there’s no world where he didn’t take advantage of, manipulate, and abuse kotallo after his parents died.

13. something i’ve learned from the fandom: awww this is cheesy, but i learned how to take a chance and post things i make again. most people are so curious and so excited to discuss lore or characters in good faith. oh, recently i did discover i missed MANY post-mission dialogues for side quests on my first few playthroughs.

14. three tags i seek out on ao3: i’m guaranteed to get drawn into anything re: kotallo and fashav’s early marshal days, lis character development, aloy/kotallo hurt/comfort (sue me)

15. a song i associate strongly with my otp/favorite character: i made this playlist based off this fic. it’s basicallg my score for fashav and kotallo falling in love during their marshal duties. instants by skúli sverrisson and anything by hermanos gutiérrez sends me into pondering fashav and kotallo’s lives together.

i’m gonna tag @poulticepurse @fogsblue @rowanisawriter @ayaitch @robo-dino-puppy if y’all wanna do this?

So the giggle huh that was an episode

Spoilers ahead obviously

So one of the fist things that came to me after the specials is that the show has again mastered tone, it’s able to be unabashedly silly, serious, and heartfelt. That’s the thing after 13s run that while the actors did the best with what they got it also lost the tone of doctor who to an extent. It was muddled frequently and ended up kinda circling the drain. But these three episodes you got what to me is the full range of tone the show should be it was silly again and to be honest I missed it the Rasputin scene in tpotc was the closest we’ve had for a while. But from the doctor immediately piling everything back on Donna to whacking the tardis with a hammer to split it in two it just worked right it tickled those brain slimes just right.

Next is the bi-generation. Honestly it’s a little plot-contriv-ey if that makes sense but because it’s doctor who it works the show is built on plot contrivance. And for tenant/14 to have such a nice ending is really nice he is able to be able to actually settle down get therapy and actually process the millennia of trauma while also having a family for the first time in millennia, the last time this was able to occur was the ponds but even then they were still adventuring. This for lack of a term domestic bliss is able to have 15 start fresh able to move on from the past and open up new avenues. Mel and Donna were great as well and honestly it would make sense for the doctor to attend the support group and be able to actually talk and reconnect. It is nice and honestly the best ending.

Now the elephant in the room 15. I love him immediately he is blorbo he is fun. He is just great for the little bit of time we have him. Because of 14s time to process, well everything, he is able to from what we’ve seen act as a character that is emotionally available and mature. We haven’t seen too much so we shall wait til Christmas for more.

Few more things

-master in tooth probably means they are the big bad for Gatwas first season or even further beyond.

-Neil Patrick Harris utterly killed as the toy maker he was able to be funny threatening and also unnerving honestly one of my favorite recent villains.

-thank god Donna didn’t die I knew she would just be killed after all that but it still was nice her having a nice life also her just doubling her salary plus 5 weeks paid vacation queen behavior, and I really like the implication she works at unit now it’s just cool

I’ll tack on more later but god that was great let’s hope this momentum keeps going also sorry for any spelling errors typed this on my phone right after the episode

#doctor who #the doctor #donna noble #Donna #Mel #david tennant #ncuti gatwa #the giggle #to be honest I really just enjoyed it it capped off so many ideas perfectly #it was so good #it was nice

Thank you for reblogging the post about the August 5 1988 Script Draft of Ghostbusters 2.

If you were a screen writer or screen doctor, wich angles would you keep for the final movie, and wich you would cut out?

Thanks for the question! It’s a good one and a challenging one!

I think that GB2 could have been interesting with a new love interest for Peter. He’s clearly a Lothario—we learn in the first moments of GB1 that he’s trying to woo a student, then he uses his professional work to flirt with Dana. It would make sense for him to be chasing someone else in the next film (as was the case in the 1999 video game, which was set in 1991). It’s formulaic, but it works.

I don’t think that merging that new woman’s traits into Dana’s story made sense. I’d have rather seen Dana remain a musician, married to Peter, and elevated to the role of a Ghostbuster.

I like the insect idea—reminiscent of the 10 plagues—but I could see it getting a bit too creepy. I think mood slime was a better fit for a paranormal movie.

Also obviously omitting Winston and Janine is/was a mistake. They should have had more screen time.

Those are some of my key takeaways.

Observant's Order

Ectoberhaunt 2022, Order side. Prompt: Order

Summary: A little view of the Ghost Zone from the POV of the Observants, and how despite the chaos that reigns in it they managed to find some order within it after sealing Pariah Dark.

0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

Standing atop of a floating rock big enough to become an island in the Infinite Realms, and even some underneath said island, there stood observatories of silver color with light blue colors, all of which had telescopes on the superior surface of each of the many structures that laid cluttered in the floating landmass, all of which remain watching in different directions throughout the realms. Each of the observatories however weren’t only a single structure, no, each of them consisted of between 2 to 5 different cylindrical structures that stay together and connect each section of each observatory; all of them having some land outside free so that any ghost that wishes to go into one of them or between each of them is able to do so without bothering anyone.

Inside one of said observatories, one with 5 structures this time, many ghosts that consists of floating eyeballs covered in green slime-like ectoplasm formed like an inverted teardrop and in robes float alongside each other, moving some documents from place to place and changing ever slightly the direction of the telescope in order to observe the different sections of the Ghost Zone. The place was the Observants High Council Tribunal Headquarters, and the ghosts moving around were all Observants, keepers of the timeline and guardians of the Infinite Realms, and even though they made an Oath of Non-Interference, they all still work to keep everything in order throughout the realms with all of the different ways they can still interact with the timeline.

Overseeing everything was Observant Marduk, who outwardly seemed no different than any other observant, however that was different for the ghosts, who all knew who he was thanks to the subtle differences in his own aura and inherent ectoplasm. In his hands lay a scroll in which the outline of the current timeline was described, which was talked and watched upon with the help of the rest of the Head Observants from each of the many different observatories in the lair of the Observants.

“Observant Marduk,” came floating his way another observant, one that was in charge of collecting all the data brought by the other observants and presenting it to the Overseer Observant of the observatory, “Here’s the data of the current status of the Infinite Realms between the Acropolis of Athens and the Carnivorous Canyon”

“Much obliged.” replied the overseer, taking the data gently and reading over everything, humming happily while doing so.

“Observant Marduk, I have a question,” waiting for the nod indicating interest, the observant continued, “How does this anarchy present throughout the Infinite Realms favors our goal of ensuring the best timeline? Isn’t this chaos making the predictions we work hard for all the more difficult to obtain?”

“That’s where you’re wrong. This is all anarchy indeed, however that doesn’t mean that it’s chaotic, for you see that even though there are no rules present and all the ghosts by nature want to be free of any obligation, that doesn’t mean that everyone will not eventually fall into their own patterns of behavior and stick to it with the years. As you can see here in this data, it might seems that everyone is moving around without a purpose, rhyme nor reason; however when comparing this data-” he continued while grabbing another scroll from the shelves near him, “-it can be seen that it’s actually almost the same as a few centuries ago, ignoring any new ghost that has formed within said time period that was being observed in order to make a new behavioral profile.”

“There is a surprising amount of order within all the anarchy present here then, if all of these data are to be believed and the future remains the same, which from the knowledge provided to all of us, it’s going to stay that way.”

“Correct indeed, and with all these patterns forming, that means that we’re able to predict what most ghosts will do and react accordingly before those actions come to pass.”

“Thanks for answering my question Observant Marduk, I’ll return to my duties now.” and with that, he floated back down flying in a straight line, passing between many observants that were flying to different places without a problem at all, avoiding them all perfectly fine without having to dodge once at all. Observant Marduk returned the scroll back where it belonged and floated towards the exit of the observatory, floating slowly but surely towards the small coliseum that they kept on their lair that worked as a courtroom, ready to act as one of the many voices against the criminal that they recently captured.

Upon arriving at the courtroom, many voices were being heard as dozens of observants arrived and began getting to their positions, talking among themselves about the prisoner this time while also walking in front of each other towards their designated locations without touching each other a single time nor having to fly around anyone else. Finally everyone reached their positions and continued talking for a while until a certain observant floated towards the center of the courtroom.

“Order! Order!” he began shouting, lulling everyone present into a comfortable silence, “The Observant High-Council tribunal is now in session. Bring in the prisoner.”

Wrapped around with his own bandages, Hotep Ra was being transported towards the center of the coliseum, being guarded by 2 wardens who kept a tight watch on him with their weapons at their sides ready to attack if necessary.

“The prisoner is accused of crimes against the human world for brainwashing the human population of the land known as Egypt, betrayal of his leader the pharaoh of the lands and disrupting the natural order of the cycle of reincarnation. Observant High Council, what say you?”

“Guilty! Guilty! Guilty!” began chanting the chorus of observants all around, Observant Marik being one of the loudest voices wanting said criminal to be punished accordingly.

“Before we pronounce sentence, have you anything to say, Hotep Ra?” The first observant asked, keeping his attentive eye on him at all times. The mummy simply lift his head and said nothing, knowing his crimes were severe but not enough that he wouldn't be able to deal with it, and also antagonizing the observants was a pretty stupid move to do at such a critical time. “Fine, then we sentence you to slumber within your sarcophagus for the following two thousand years. Send him away, guards.”

And like that the case was closed and the courtroom began to be vacated, leaving only a few scattered observants lingering around and talking with each other.

“How I love when a session goes this smoothly.”

“Yes, it’s very easy to do everything when the prisoners follow the orders they’re given without a hitch.”

“Thankfully this also maintains the current timeline safe and sound, nothing disrupting the order of things.”

“Yes indeed, now if you’ll excuse me, I have to make sure that the order of things being done in my observatory is being done properly.”

“Of course Observant Marduk, have a pleasant existence making sure everyone is respecting the order of things to be done properly.”

“Thank you, may you have your future endeavors occur in an orderly fashion as well, I’ll be leaving now.” And with that, observant Marduk left the Courtroom and began floating back to his observatory in peace knowing that everything is going just fine and no disorder is going on, despite the appearance of the Infinite Realms themselves.

Alright time for our last two polls!!

This time it’s Othello Von Ryan

Y’all have some feelings about our boy Donnie

First the pie

1 for alien oc

1 for leatherhead

1 for Platonic with someone new

1 for platonic with Kitsune

Then we have two crossover ships

1 for bubbles.

And you know what the powder puff have been sneaking their way into my life reciently and I could see it. There is some really fun art of teenage power puffs that I have seen recently.

1 for lagoons from monster high specifically the 3rd Gen.

Which as some one who knows monster high from the first Gen I’m lagoons was always in my top three and I never liked her boyfriend. I know nothing about Gen 3 but I’m loving the energy.

2 people said keno form legend of the ooze. He is a tmnt character.

I had no clue this person existed but I’m here for it.

5 people said Mona Lisa like the comics

8 people said Timothy (from 2012) 1 person asked for them to be platonic.

Someone also suggested that he be related to Sunita since he became mutagen man in 2012 and this would allow him to still be a slime man and I kinda love that.

9 people said someone from the Tenshu

Now the big numbers

At 29 votes we have

Kendra. She little and mean and Donnie always goes for her type. I kinda love the idea of them going from enemy’s to lovers

At 31 we have

Jermey from the purple dragons. He is nicer then Kendra but more competent then Jason.

54 of you said platonic with April

And 64 of you said

Single!!!!!

I’m gonna be honest Kendra was winning for a bit and I still kind of love her for him but we shall see. I also think I’ll add Tim in as a friend at the very least. As for right now we shall go with the crowd and say single

I will do anything for any more lil first time's free HCs always

OMG OFC ANYTIME!

1. someone asked recently about what their wedding would look like, and i’ve been thinking it’s 1000% just signing court documents in private, like a truly small deal. chrissy wears her ring (a little gold band and tiny diamond) way less than eddie wears his (plain silver band) because she doesn’t like the thought of it getting scratched up with her housework and stuff although she ALWAYS wears it when going out, can’t even go to the grocery store without signaling that SHE IS A WIFE. she does a lot of taking it on and off. they both also don’t really care about the actual institution of marriage, and only do it just because it makes it all official to the public world. they often forget to tell people. a few weeks after their nonexistent lowkey wedding one of the younger teens is like what’s the deal with the new ring and Eddie’s like oh yeah we got married and everyone’s like ??? without mentioning it ??? but eddie and chrissy just assumed it was no one’s business but theirs and forgot that other people might care

2. chrissy is THE passenger seat princess. much like she plays housewife in a twisted sense, she likes that eddie “brings home the bacon” in his own unconventional way. she loves watching him finesse some high school or college age boys and play flirty w girls to get them to buy. she loves counting his cash for him. the whole illicit nature of the thing paired with his confident, knowledgeable expertise just turns her on

3. semi-related but chrissy and eddie are just gargantuan stoners. massive. all day every day, as soon as possible. sunday mornings and holidays are immediate wake and bake. chrissy swears it’s what keeps her sane, and doesn’t know what she did without it.

4. eddie eventually pieces together that chrissy, despite being a cheerleader, has no fucking idea how sports work. he had to explain to her one night when they were watching a basketball game at Steve’s how three pointers worked (“yeah I dunno I just sort of zoned out” was her reasoning when he pressed her on the fact she’d had to have seen DOZENS of basketball games in high school). she has no interest in any of sports at all until eddie takes her to a local hockey game, which she likes very, very much. loud and violent and fucked up.

5. eddie watches chrissy’s general beauty routines with fascination, but in the sense he feels like she’s sort of an alien. he tries his best to remember it all, but it’s all just like good-smelling goop and slime to him

Regarding Fhiaskko

One of my tiny, lovely shark rats! She has a lot more lore than I'd shared originally so I'm glad to be able to talk about her now without spoiling AoTH!

Under the cut to save your dash!

She is one of Mhonde's siblings, the second to youngest (so kid number 5). Fhia wasn't actively born cursed, it came much later. Being Priory, you can imagine the type of interesting artifacts and scrolls that one can find.

Her team were devoted to the research and study of newly made 'island' that Kralks body formed and the pieces of the Mists that it drug with it. Where else are you going to find chunks of the Godrealms that you can study? But we all know that Asuran curiosity often gets the better of them.

Already being doused in death magic, she'd had a knack for it since she was tottling around (a horrifying discovery for her parents, finding their then youngest with a crudely put together flesh wurm). So naturally she decided to explore the area devoted to Grenth.

The good news! Being Asura made her very much unafraid to delve into the deeper parts of the gods mechanisms and systems.

The bad news! Being Asura made her have absolutely no sense of reverence and a willingness to do extreme things for the sake of discovery.

Fhiaskko actually played a part in Riag/Ruby/Sigilis/Galla's story! I didn't get around to sharing it while the story was public but she was the one half way responsible for what set off the story's main driving point of Why is Trahearne Back and then What Do We Do Now.

The reason for why he is actually back is from an artifact discovered actually in Melandru's area that Fhia had the wise idea 'hey what if we take something that deals with life and nature magic and use it in the death and decay area - for science'. To which everyone in her team (also Krewe several joined the Priory with her) said:

"FHIA NO."

To which she said "FHIA YES."

She had studied some of Trahearne's magical workings in healing Orr and working with Undeath dragon magic and thought they could be extrapolated on to fit Death magic from God sources. While it had similar elements the Dragon magic has been studied more since people were trying to defeat Zhaitan and the magic of Grenth was seen as more of a 'this is holy/not something you go fiddling with/important to humans'.

Taking a step back for a moment, in my mythos - after the healing of Orr in Melandru's temple, whatever lingering influence of Melandru saw what the Commander the Marshal did and went 'oh cool thanks, i'll remember that'. The Gods aren't just like a singular entity but sort of a force. Kinda like a central figure but their energy is a slime mold that operates under a set of criteria (which is why humans can still invoke/call on the Gods even though they've dipped out because the god residue is left).

So when the same form of magic gets used in a place of death and influences of nature - that sort of ambient presence which only knows to create/influence life does the best it can.

However, since Melandru is more tied with humans than anything really Sylvari - it affects how he is brought back. This is why his pod is alarmingly 'not plant' when he emerges again. Also since it was used in a place of Death magic and he was so strongly associated with it - it like applies a filter for which energy to try and plop into a form.

Nutshell is something like this:

Fhia modifies some of the magic that Trahearne had employed in Orr, in a place of Death magic to activate a Life Magic based artifact ->

Lingering god residue recognizes the magic used but not the person so seeks out the original user ->

Original user wasn't Human so Life magic tries to create it as best as it can ->

The Dream is a collective library of experiences and personalities that sometimes get ladled out and mixed into new people ->

Given the filter being BIG DEATH MAGIC IMPORTANT HELPED IN ORR applied it really sorts out the pot and lets the right energy be picked, which happens to actually be Trahearne.

Meanwhile! Back to Fhia!

She done did a huge NO-NO! As a result of the life magic she activated, she is shielded from immediately being killed but the death magic has to go somewhere. So it's just around her in like an invisible shroud.

Her team went 'what in the actual fuck did you do' because they didn't see any like catastrophic results, it seemed to just fizzle out. The real workings of it were taking place back in the Grove, using the building blocks from the gods creation process of humans. So she just assumed it didn't work. Until hm wait why aren't the team following me back to the base camp they were right behind me - aaaaand they're all dead. That's unfortunate.

She was saddened but wrote it off as a 'well we are in the death gods slice of things it happens I guess!'

Naturally the rest of the Priory gave her the boot after finding out she did what she did and that her team had all suddenly died. So she goes back to Rata Sum to find a new Krewe to work on necro-technolgical studies and woops they all die in strange ways. Accidentally fell off of things, crushed by machinery, heart attack, attacked by animals, killed by bandits, you name it.

She just went 'wow weird coincidences'

But it kept happening and she just is in adamant denial that it has anything to do with her because 'superstitions' like being cursed are illogical. It's all a statistical improbability that is fascinating.

So as a person she is sharp witted, talkative, and exceedingly stubborn. She's not afraid to do things that others won't. She does care for her family but they've basically made it clear that since something about her Kills People they will only have dealings with her from afar. Fhia is a little hurt by this but hey if her family doesn't appreciate innovation then she can just be superficial and polite with them via letter.

Fhia is the positive side (well less negative) of her families drive for innovation. It's seen negatively in the eldest child who joined the Inquest. It's what burnt out Bhruizz to not give a shit about things or try very hard. It's what made Mhunizz seek shady means of fame/esteem rather than relying on achievement. And it's what makes Mhonde try to perfect his designs of golems and why he's not all that upset about making weapons that are um slightly unethical if used wrongly.

Thanks for reading this far about my Cursed Rat!

Sorry to drop this to your inbox impromptu i didnt know who else? Would be interested? Esp weeks after the LN finale?

But removal of fundy from las nevadas narrative in the finale made it a simple business arrangment rather than what it was at the ugliest, Which was a political cult

One can argue slime factory is an apparatus of this but the fact Foolish was there because he feared he had no legacy and Fundy was there because he thought no one would mourn him Is just

Gone?

Finale sort of resets him back to the start of Las Nevadas arc, he is in search of assets once again.

All of the sentiment Charlie expressed could also been expressed by Fundy who was lovebombed, reshaped then chained to Las Nevadas by a person he assumed was a friend

And although Qs worldview is chastisized he doesnt. Really get the reprecussions of manipulating people under him. I would describe similar to How Techno had to abandon his chance at a nonviolent life but he didnt suffer in the long run. OF COURSE Q is worse off losing a canon life but he still has Las Nevadas and At Least Foolish if not also Fundy (if he lied to Wil) under his alliance.

These of course could be expanded but the fact finale wouldnt even have fundy speak or regard him as an asset, OR SHOW HORSEMEN is.

Telling.

Don't worry, I love getting long and insightful asks like this :)

This is easily the greatest weakness of the Las Nevadas arc as a whole; while we get some really incredible cinematic moments, not having more "casual" streams in between them means that these movies all feel slightly less than the sum of their parts to different extents. And while Las Nevadas 5 was technically and visually near-pristine, it suffered from this blunting effect more than any other episode. Any character development c!Quackity might have had is hard to gauge for certain, since we've literally seen nothing but a surprised Pikachu face, a handful of apology letters, and a "right, that's over with." Is this new, rebuilt version of Las Nevadas going to be a healthier place? We don't know yet. And though it pains me, we have very little reason to believe so right now.

I haven't gone into it as much as some of my other quibbles, but the lack of spotlight on the other members of the country was another thing I found underwhelming about the finale. Hell, I think the only reference to c!Fundy was a throwaway line about how his gambling addiction alone couldn't fund Las Nevadas's infrastructure, which... hm.

It's especially strange considering that aside from c!Tubbo (who, as much as I would have loved to see him more, could have distanced himself after Ho16), c!Fundy is the only member of Las Nevadas that c!Quackity had a real friendship with prior to this arc. Like you say, he would have been a natural choice to express many of the sentiments that c!Charlie laid out, because he's seen so much of c!Q's behavior play out before - with c!Schlatt, with c!Wilbur, with c!Dream. Perhaps he can't attest to the "become like me!" thing, but that whole "born again" spiel... if he was supposed to be born again, why does he feel like he just replaced nothing with more nothing? It's that "political cult" you talked about, which he was hit by more overtly than anyone else.

A single scene couldn't have completely fixed the emotional disconnect, but here's the proposal I've discussed here time and time again: show us the conversation between c!Quackity and c!Fundy where he leaves Las Nevadas behind. Now, we can place this moment sometime before c!Quackity's second death. Make him confront the reality of his actions and how badly his manipulation has hurt those he enlisted, even someone like c!Fundy, whose recruitment was "just" harsh words mixed with lovebombing. And then, make that near-realization fail, to build tension for the grander takedown later.

The hardest thing to swallow about this potential scene is that on the precipice of his true narrative turning point, c!Quackity would likely need to double down and get vicious. Perhaps he tells c!Fundy everything the poor guy feared hearing; that he would be nothing if he left, that this lack of loyalty is why nobody stays with him, that maybe he truly did make everything he touched worse. Go in hard on the projected self-hatred. But, crucially, c!Quackity cannot deliver on his threat to execute him. And when c!Fundy call his bluff and walks away, he is shaken. He is afraid. He doubts. (And then he rips that doubt apart and goes into the final days of this life with furious abandon.)

This also gives c!Fundy a chance to lash out at an authority figure who, despite their best intentions and big promises, used him for an ego project and then ignored him. He finally gets a moment where he can stand up for himself, only for that moment to leave him worse off than ever before. It offers more context for the dire, suicidal state he was in during Into Pogtopia. And it grants him a well-deserved spotlight, while also underscoring the tragedy of his arc: that no matter how hard he tries, c!Fundy's efforts to make things better are always ignored.

Anyway. This scene is so vivid in my mind, and I will pretend it existed from now on. I'm so sorry to the Mexican Dream and Ranboo shenanigan lovers, but I have my priorities all laid out.

... I really just need to write the dang thing, don't I? Or maybe act it out. Anybody want to RP and film this in Minecraft with me? Anyone at all?

GODDAMN IT MAN, WHY XD

*counts flowers* 11, alright-

I just bought a Japanese floor mattress (called a shikibuton) and I've got high hopes for it. I'll definitely let you guys know what my thoughts are after sleeping with it for a few nights, I think it should be here on Tuesday or so. Fingers crossed it's worth the $190 I paid for it!

I want to put a fun aesthetic to my speeddrawing videos. I have a neat little basket with a clasp on the front and I want to pull out random shit from it every day. Also I have a weird ceramic ladle that sits over a tealight candle and I have no idea what it's for but it looks super cool and I want to use it.

I'm amazing myself right now at how many "healthy alternatives" I've been going for literally just because I can. I dropped my amount of sugar in coffee from three and a half spoons to barely one and I have no idea how I did it??? I prefer banana chips over normal chips now? I crave trail mix and applesauce??? Help??? Even my mom was like "That's really impressive, you're young, most kids your age eat junk food all day" and I'm like "I kNoW I ThINk I'm dYInG!"

Geckos inside of your house are seen as a symbol of good luck in some cultures. I must have been blessed somehow because we had to safely capture and remove a baby gecko from my ceiling like a week ago. He was so smol.

Tips for existing in the world with major anxiety issues: 1) bring a fidget toy just in case, 2) locate safe spaces such as bathrooms, bench seats, and quiet places to chill when you are pent up, 3) if you get low on energy while out and start going into shutdown mode, bring a little snack of a yummy food, eating may help, 4) don't try to overexert yourself if you know it's going to get worse, just don't do it, know your limits, 5) bring a notepad and a pencil or a pen and peoplewatch for fun, 6) you can also play fun word games on your notepad, like writing the letters of a word and then making more words with their letters (side note: "pretzel sticks" was so far one of my most word-packed words ever)
