[ID: A digital sketch in black and white. A screaming and crying snake (avatar of Muse) is coiled around a heart shaped cake that reads 'happy bye' on the top. The snake is surrounded by the Becile Bots. Dee is screaming back. The Jack says placatingly, "W-We'll always be with you! Kinda!" The Skull scowls while holding a forlorn looking Tatters. Hare winces and says, "Eeesh." Scratch makes an anime-style sweatdrop-and-closed eye expression. Riker grins smugly at the viewer and says, "I get a boyfriend in the next project." Locksmith's disembodied, X-eyed head lays on the table wearing a party hat. End ID]
@ghoulishjester suggested this as an end-of-blog celebration, and while I'm still looking for something to do IRL, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to do something really really stupid
Objectively, one might argue that allowing a stranger to more or less lure me out of the city and away from potential witnesses was a bad idea. A blindingly stupid idea. But the instinct to trust this man was undeniable, and the promise of finding Jamie so soon was a temptation I couldn’t resist.
Being on horseback made conversation difficult, so my multitude of questions would have to wait until we stopped, and to my surprise, the ride was blessedly short. However, there were no visible structures or people in the vicinity, and for one brief moment, I wondered at the soundness of my own judgment. But then…
“You’re back sooner than I expected, a goistidh,” a disembodied voice called out.
I slid off my horse without conscious thought as my pulse took off in a sprint, and the air seemed to grow thin as I caught movement in the trees and saw a man emerge. A familiar mop of red hair crowned a handsome face and towering frame. Though his appearance had always been a bit tidier in my dreams, the well-worn state of his clothing barely registered.
It was his eyes that held me captive, brilliant blue and wide with shock and recognition. Silence stretched between us for one infinite moment, and just when I thought I might be able to get a hold on myself… he spoke.
After the dust settles, Amy and Shadow attempt to find a way out of their current predicament. They'll have to navigate through the temple, without killing each other.
I did a little strategy simming diversion as a bonus update to Bonita’s Wants: I wanted to know how many Wants could be done in a single date. If you’re interested, you can go read Brenda’s Bonus at my DW. Comments, as always, are welcome anywhere if you feel so inclined.
This is supposed to be the outfit that "protects" Link from acquiring frostbite pfffttt
Between this top and the mandatory acrylics that come with the new arm, gotta say I'm loving how much Nintendo keeps leaning into GNC Link XD
MINI UPDATE: (Guys, I've already updated this post with the correct info. The "protects" part was supposed to be a joke about how skimpy the outfit was. I didn't realize the outfit gave an attack bonus at first, either. That was it. That was the post. You don't need to keep sending me messages trying to inform me about the frost attack. I know, I promise).
Update I: Just realized they gave him a set of blue acrylics for his left hand
Link really do be out here serving cunt 💅💅✨✨
Update II: Many thanks to the people who pointed out that this outfit gives you a special frost attack when in cold temperature areas, it doesn't actually protect you from the elements. I'll be honest, I am purposely avoiding any guides or walkthroughs for my TotK playthrough (since I'm trying to replicate my BotW experience). When I found the Frostbite Shirt, I was just happy that I finally had a piece of clothing that I thought could protect me from dying of hypothermia (was chugging spicy elixirs like you wouldn't believe) so I didn't notice the attack bonus until a bunch of you pointed it out lol
[Video Description: An animatic to the song 'Mean Mean Man' by Blair Crimmins and the Hookers. In it, the fanbot Hare Becile mocks his rival, Rabbit, along with The Spine and Zer0 (Zero) before climbing onto a bridge. There is an imaginary sequence of Hare pickpocketing, then having his money taken by The Skull. Hare then notices a portrait of Thadeus Becile watching him and is disturbed. In the present action, Hare tears down a Steam Powered Giraffe poster, balls it up, and throws it at Rabbit before descending from the bridge. The Jack pops out of a trashcan, accompanied by several tiny copper elephants that begin to dance. Rabbit tries to eat one of them, despite The Spine trying to stop her. Hare dances the Charleston with the copper elephants before kicking them away and climbing a nearby building. He trips and disappears from the roof, then reappears in the doorway with a top hat (on top of his regular hat) and cane. He dances down the stairs, then throws the top hat at the viewer. The scene transitions to Hare lounging, implying the whole thing was a daydream. He grins smugly at the camera. End VD]
My God! I just realized in that last tid-bit that you posted between chapters. The hologram that Rouge has shows Shadow. His legs, waist, arm, tail, and eye are all green. We already know he has an artificial eye and tail. Does that mean the rest of the green areas are artificial too?! Holy Jesus! How do you survive that?!
Oh, this one? Yeah, hang on, I got you.
Easy answer: Be the Ultimate Life Form.
More complicated answer: Outsource somebody who knows exactly what they're doing.
[MC chatting with Solomon while Belphie naps on their lap]
MC: I’m still kind of jealous that you have a pact with Barbatos.
Solomon: You have all seven brothers - and you can always call on me for anything. You’re my favorite, most precious apprentice, after all. What more do you need?
Belphie, shifting in your lap: Gross.
MC: Shh, go back to sleep, Bel. Anyway, I know that, but Barbatos is so powerful.
Solomon: And hot?
MC: Extremely hot. The only thing that evens the playing field is his fear of rats. It’s got to suck to have his weakness be a small creature I could literally hold in my hands.
Solomon: To be fair, I know something you could hold in your hands that would make me weak, too.
MC: I swear, if you’re talking about-
Solomon: Yes, my dick.
MC: . . .
Belphie: You don’t even need to use both hands for mine.
MC: I thought I told you to go back to sleep!
Solomon: Did he just. . .?
MC: Yeah, he doesn’t mind admitting he’s on the smaller side.
Belphie: Small dick, open mind. I provide options and variety, what do you offer?
Solomon: This is more information than I wanted to learn today.
Belphie: Next time don’t flirt with my human right in front of my face. Now, take your decent 5.5 and find someone else to handle it.
