Seven Sentence Sunday ⭐️
Tagged by: @diazsdimples, @wikiangela, @daffi-990, @actualalligator (who posted an AMAZING story for me 🩵), @cal-daisies-and-briars, @spotsandsocks, & @exhuastedpigeon - if I missed anyone I apologize. My brain hasn't been good.
I was going to actually NOT post today because...my mind...but then I managed to write last night/really early this morning and feel good about it. Although if this goes live or not is dependent on how quick I get it done before I lose power again.
Enjoy some more from Survival Eddie (which is NOT an AU might I add) that still needs a proper title.
“Have to.” Eddie sways forward, Buck catching him as his right leg gives out on him. “Can’t carry me.”
“Yes, I can.” Buck insists but Eddie shakes his head. It isn’t that he doubts Buck’s strength, but more about the fact that carrying him will mean slowing him down when someone is clearly after them. “Eddie.”
“Please.” Eddie insists as his other leg gives out, Buck more or less holding him up now. “Run.”
“I’d listen to him, pretty boy.” Another voice chimes in, but Eddie can’t turn his head to look at the source, all he can see is Buck’s wide, blue eyes. “Or you can join him. Your choice.”
“Buck.” Eddie whispers, “Run.”
Buck looks from the stranger to Eddie and back, before slowly lowering Eddie to the ground, careful to prop him against a tree, his fingers brushing along his cheek gently. “I’ll be back.”
Tagging more for sharing since it's late: @hippolotamus, @disasterbuckdiaz, @fortheloveofbuddie, @bucksbackwardcap, @actuallyitsellie, @alliaskisthepossibilityoflove, @theotherbuckley, @jesuisici33, @theplaceyoustillrememberdreaming, @monsterrae1, @epicbuddieficrecs, @elvensorceress, @eddiebabygirldiaz, @spagheddiediaz, @wildlife4life, @evanbegins, @devirnis, @buckaroosheart, @perfectlysunny02, @nmcggg, @smilingbuckley, @watchyourbuck, @loserdiaz, @excuseme-greentea

Ok tumblr I’m now begging
BEGGING
That you start treating these “ridiculous drama” scenarios that get boiled down to one sentence the same way you’ve helped people treat “frivolous” lawsuits against major corporations
Because it’s been several times now I’ve seen shit like “chili lady cancelled for sharing food?! The worlds gone mad!!” Without actually knowing the real conversation that was happening about that incident.
Same thing with the DoorDash shit recently
And let me tell you the vast majority of these situations involve disabled people sharing their thoughts and feelings on a topic, and so-called progressives going “you’re fucking re- I mean uh ridiculous! Who would think like this!? Entitled lazy fucks!”

I know I say this every time I read my own work, but Speak for the Dead really is the best chapter in ILM.
“Well, you know for the first time in a long time this actually feels like fall?”
Jane Romero was smiling at him, sitting propped up against a tree in what had sort of become her usual ‘therapy’ corner in the past almost two weeks. And she was right, it did feel like fall. The air wasn’t as sharply cold as normal, and honestly ‘sharply’ cold was a nice break in and of itself when it happened—usually the weather here was somehow just cold—cold with no adjectives attached. But today it was nicer. It was the kind of waiting fall cold that came when it wasn’t biting outside yet, and it was almost pleasant. A promise of a change in the seasons. Tapp wondered why.
The trees hadn’t started to change color with it, or fall in piles, and as far as he’d gathered there weren’t seasons in here. Everything looked the same. Tall, thick woods, undergrowth and moss and rocks and fallen logs, a slight breeze on and off. Dark sky overhead, full moon, at this point long since throwing off everyone’s idea of what day and night were supposed to mean. All the usual. Except, somehow, the kind of cold in the weather. Who knew, maybe nothing had changed. Maybe they had just started to feel better.
LIKE. Those opening lines mean nothing but environmental flavor when you read them. But they’re a lead in for the thesis of the entire chapter.
“Well, you know for the first time in a long time this actually feels like fall?” - A promise of a change in the seasons. - Who knew, maybe nothing had changed. Maybe they had just started to feel better.
Like that’s it. Speak for the Dead is about a lot of things, but at its heart it’s about healing. It’s about forgiveness and healing, that exists between the living and the dead. It’s about how you can only speak for them, by speaking for them. Not how you want to punish yourself or live for them, but by how you know they would forgive you, or would ask you to live. Very little other than exchanges of information happen, but so much happens at the same time. All of it significant. It’s hope. It’s about how Tapp (and Meg) have spent every day here fighting in their own way to cope with the agony and failure of their lives, and the loss of people they couldn’t save, and have only dug their wounds deeper. About love. About nothing stoping the lambs from screaming except accepting that they want to let you go.

Remembered about this one AU/UA(?) of mine that I might want to write (maybe) and it’s a timeline where Hop becomes champion first, Victor later on second try.
Hop still figures out along the way that becoming a pokemon prof sounds neat, Victor has a lot of fun exploring the whole region and training at the master dojo. Also, they are very supportive of each other and win the inaugural galarian star tournament together like the power couple they are 😌 the whole plot with Eternatus as well as post-credits with Sordward&Shielbert happened too (Victor having Eternatus and Zacian, Hop having Zamazenta).
Because I’m assuming you’d need a new endorsement for each time you participate in the gym challenge, it’s Hop who writes the letter next time so basically Victor is champion-approved twice and then becomes champion himself.
I’m not even sure what birthed this AU but I’m guessing it’s the fact that Hop’s arc gave me emotional pain bassboosted + my headcanon that Victor doesn’t even know what his goal is/what he wants to be at the start of story. So instead of winning because plot/gameplay-mandated, he can take his time (which also lessens the “basically becoming unbeatable champion 2.0” post-credits angst that lives in my head rent-free for 2 months now). For Hop, figuring out his new goal is after achieving his initial goal.

could you imagine if Sega were to release a new game with seemingly no ties to any other games they've ever made, and the entire thing is like a very much story-based game with interactive world elements (almost like Presentable Liberty in overall theme and gameplay, though) where you play as a strange little girl kept in an unknown and mysterious sort of place. You can interact with her toys, go through various activities and hobbies of hers, draw and stuff as her, shit like that, and the whole time you're kept confined to a simple room where she simply overhears others outside of the room talking about her, talking about her family, talking about strange other things that seem.... Entirely otherworldly.
You learn that she'd never gotten to live long on Earth, you learn that she's been isolated most of her life, you learn that she's loved greatly by her family....
And you learn that she's surrounded by very dangerous people.
You still never learn her name, but as time goes on old time fans of SEGA games would begin to realize where the fuck this was all going, as references would start to be made about some strange undercover experiment being conducted, and soon you'd get to see the proper reveal of what this game is.
Soon she would be finally be allowed to leave her room, escorted out by threatening soldiers, to a much darker area, where the actual storyline of the game would become known.
The entire game, you've been playing as Maria Robotnik, and at this moment she would be shown Project Shadow.
The second half of the game would mostly be interactions, still in her room, but every now and then a much younger Shadow would be brought to see and interact with her. No longer is the game hiding what it is, so Maria would be referred to by name, and you'd also get to see more of pre-trauma Shadow and how his mind would develop. Both Shadow and Maria would now overhear arguments and conflicts from her room, they'd hear Gerald yelling at the guards and fighting with the researchers on the ARK with him that he never really wanted there, they'd overhear Shadow being referred to as a bioweapon despite Maria seeing him as a friend, a brother even, and this would be before Shadow would've ever really known or understood his proper conflicted purpose... Aside from being designed to protect and help.
You'd get to play silly mini games with him, Maria would sit him down and have tea parties with him and her plushies, and the two would just enjoy time together.
Until Maria would start to understand just what exactly was happening, what those "strange guards" were planning to do with Shadow.
And the ending climax would suddenly shift to a more horror-esc action part, where you play as Maria trying to divert the attention from Shadow as she desperately attempts to help him escape.
And the ending, while it wouldn't visibly show what happens to her... You'd still see more of her perspective, seeing her closest companion screaming out to her as she sacrifices herself to get him out of there.
And that would be the ending. To a game not ever initially called a Sonic game, to a game marketed as a small experimental piece, or perhaps hardly marketed at all. The developers would probably be some small team who simply wanted to add more to the story already shown in earlier games, who wanted to bring more life to a character with such great importance to the background of one of the franchise's most beloved characters. SEGA wouldn't do much marketing, but they'd license it and very briefly refer to it as "a fan-project made canon", but until one plays the game, whatever it's made canon TO would be entirely unknown.

i am waiting for you to talk about them. talk. about.them. pleaseee🥺
i'm not going to talk about this the way that you want probably, because alicent is a lesbian and larys is the snake in the garden... i don't have a good read of him or their relationship yet (and i know i'm not one to talk considering my read of d/r) bt it's not Romance or even gothic romance..... larys is the twisted devotee who fashions his own idol when he can't find one to his liking... alicent needs allies and confidants and larys needs an object of obsession through which to funnel his desire for power and influence so it feels Divine..... he's her attack dog but he's holding his own leash..... if anything they are the twisted sisters drinking poison together to build immunity but it's not something i'm compelled to make Romantic skjdfhg
