Headcanons.RainbowGang!
The day has finally come! This was initially supposed to be a ColorGang headcanon post (part 3), buuuuut I wanted Purple to be included in it, too, so let's go! (And because there is already two posts of my HCS of the ColorGang lol)
So.. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed sharing it! <3
Lil' note; My headcanons might change over time. Simply because I'm indecisive and I'm still kinda new to the AvA/AvM fandom/series.
Even though I have watched Animation vs Minecraft(original) and Animation vs Animator III and IV when I was really young, I'm still new to the story itself, so my opinions and own interpretations of the characters may change the more I become more used to the characters and the lore. Going depth with the characters and the lore, basically. So take all of this with a grain of salt!
Some may change in the future, other may stay. It's all just a matter of time and the more I go more in depth with the lore and the characters!
Lil' note 2: There are some triggering topics here that you may want to skip. (Such as; Phobias, disorders, possessions, etc.)
You can skip the whole trigger part thing, though! Once you see a gif about the colorgang having a group hug, that's when the trigger part ended.
Tumblr media
﹌﹌﹌Triggering Topics.﹌﹌﹌
. . . . . ╰──╮Second is claustrophobic.
・❥・Like- There is no way he isn't atleast a lil' bit claustrophobic after all he went through, right? Villain and/or Antagonists are almost always restraining him in small places, Second must be at least a little claustrophobic.
. . . . . ╰──╮The ColorGang is a little bit paranoid about Purple.
-‘๑’- Like- Don't get them wrong! They love and accept Purple into their lil' group just as they accepted Orange(Second) into their lil' group when they first met, but they can't help but feel a lil' bit paranoid about him.
-‘๑’- They were betrayed twice by him. They know Purple changed but they just- can't help it. They are just afraid of losing each other again.
-‘๑’- Traumatized, paranoid, and having a little bit of PTSD about what happened back then in the Nether. And also alot of trust issues.
-‘๑’- They are willing to forgive and forget, though forgetting what happened back there is proving to be a lot harder than it should be...
. . . . . ╰──╮Red still have some PTSD from all of those possessions.
-‘๑’- He's a little cautious about his surroundings now... Especially towards HeroBrine.
-‘๑’- It's his body, but he can't move nor control whatever action he takes.. Doing things that he would never even dream of doing..
-‘๑’- Yeah- Being possessed wasn't a fun experience. He was able to see what HeroBrine was doing while in control of his body; He had no way of controlling the actions he took, which terrified him and still do just thinking about it. He would never want to relieve it ever again.
Tumblr media
﹌﹌﹌Wholesome Topics﹌﹌﹌
˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ RainbowGang loves to playfully play around with Second's head.
・❥・Second's head is canonically squishy, so the rest of the gang loves to play around with his squishable head. Like- Squishing his head to become a heart, a square, and etc-!
・❥・Of course, they make sure to not hurt him at all and to see if Second is okay with this; Which- He is! It doesn't hurt him at all; Much to the contrary, it's actually really comfortable (it's like receiving little pats on the head) and it just tickles a little.
・❥・There are times when Blue and Red throw things so that it can go through his head... It doesn't hurt or anything like that, he just feels weird about it.
・❥・Even though he's fine with it and it doesn't hurt him at all, Orange absolutely hates when Sticks use his head for some kind of game. (Example; Basketball). It's just so umconfortable and it makes him feel like he's being used somehow.
˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ Purple (and Reuben) is a honorary member of the ColorGang.
・❥・The ColorGang accepted Purple with open arms and, without him knowing, made him part of their lil' group.
・❥・Now, everytime Purple is included in their shenanigans, they will always call themselves the RainbowGang!
・❥・The moment Purple became their friend, it was also the moment he was officially accepted into the group and now they are the RainbowGang!
・❥・When Purple found out about it... He felt so many emotions at a time- Embarrasment, anger(at himself), guilty(for betraying them twice), insecure(of being worth for their love and forgiving), happiness(he's finally feeling loved. he finally have people who accepts him for who he is!), then guilty again, then anger once again...
・❥・Though, the main ones are definitely anger and guilty. And, because of that, he felt really overwhelmed and just- wasn't ready for it yet. He hasn't forgiven himself yet. He just- Can't. Yet.
・❥・The gang always made sure to let him know that they forgave him, but they understand that he just feels really overwhelmed by it, and made sure to let him know that he's always welcomed with open arms into their lil' group once he's ready.
・❥・That doesn't mean that they stopped inviting Purple to their shenanigans, though- Definitely not! He's always free to join them into their shenanigans whenever he feels like joining!
˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ From all of them, Purple feels more comfortable around Green.
・❥・Don't get him wrong! He feels very grateful for how the others have accepted him so well into their little group, but Green is just- The first one to try to understand him, the first one to break down the walls he's built over the years, and the first one to be his actual true friend.
・❥・Purple feels comfortable around the others too, but he feels the closest to Green.
˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ The ColorGang didn't really know that a rainbow existed.
・❥・Can't really blame them. They lived their whole lives being fighting sticks from a site (RYGB), while one of them actually came from drawings (The Second Coming/Orange), and never really left the DeskTop before.
・❥・They always have been curious about Real Life, though. So, on their first days living on Alan's desktop, they almost always watched whatever Alan was doing on his computer, just out of curiosity.
・❥・They found out that a Rainbow existed when Alan was just doing some researches about a rainbow (For color inspiration), and Red quickly compared them to the rainbow, almost looking like a rainbow gang.
・❥・Needless to say, they spent a lot of time just watching Alan doing his things on his computer, while also trying to recreate a Purple StickMan so they could be the RainbowGang!
・❥・...Didn't really work well. So you can imagine how happy they felt when they finally found a Purple StickMan! Like them! :D
・❥・And how sad they felt when they got betrayed.. Twice. By him.
・❥・And how happy they felt once again when Purple officially become their friend once again! ;D
・❥・They are finally a RainbowGang!
˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ They all have cuddle piles in every chance they get.
・❥・There are times where Purple doesn't feel like he deserves all the affection and love that the ColorGang shows to each other, but they always make sure to shut those thoughts and just pulls him along with their cuddle piles. lol
˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ There are also times where Second feels like he doesn't belong to the group.
・❥・I mean.. He's the only hollowhead out of them all. And RYGB knew each other ever since they were first created. He kinda feels.. Out of place. Non-belonging.
・❥・So he can kinda understand how Purple feels. Which is why he makes sure to comfort Purple saying that their friends would never judge them for who they are and will accept them with open arms. And even so, they are in this together.
・❥・And he's right! Obviously lol The gang will always make sure to include them into their shenanigans. They were always a big happy family from the very start and will happily accept Orange and Purple into their lil' family. ❤
Tumblr media
﹌﹌﹌Extras!﹌﹌﹌For long; New/changed headcanons!
* ˚ ✦ From Oldest to Youngest; Purple & Yellow & Blue & Green & Red & The Second Coming!
: ̗̀➛ The ColorGang are all 9-10 years old. (Orange being one year younger than them), while Purple is 16 years old.
: ̗̀➛ You can imagine Purple's surprise when he found out that the sticks who saved a whole dimension from being deleted were kids.
: ̗̀➛ Many thoughts came into their head, as well as many emotions overwhelmed him when he found out that they were kids all along.
: ̗̀➛ Surprinsingly, the first thing that he focused on was; "....Am I really that short or they are just that tall?"
: ̗̀➛ Jokes apart, Orange is one of those people who may acts like the 'mother' of the group but is actually one of the youngest.
* ˚ ✦ Out of all of them, Blue and Red are the most emotional ones.
: ̗̀➛ Blue is more of a PeaceMaker, getting easily attached to who he loves, and will be absolutely one of the most distraught whenever he lost one of his friends. He won't hesitate to get violent whenever he feels like his friends are in danger, though he can sometimes act like a pacifist and may hesitate when the situation is not in their favor. inspired by this analysis of Blue's character!
: ̗̀➛ While Red is more younger, vulnerable and impulsive. He got a childlike mind, pretty aggressive, and one of the strongest in the group. But he can also get pretty impulsive out of good-intentions and can end up getting them to pretty dangerous situations. He's always good-intentioned, but there are many times where he won't think twice before doing.
* ˚ ✦ They all loves to prank each other.
: ̗̀➛ They can sometimes get carried away with their pranks, though... They always make up in the end!
: ̗̀➛ Purple was a lil' confused at first, but he eventually got the hang of it and, all of sudden, he become the prankster of the group. lol xD
* ˚ ✦ Green didn't taught only Orange how to sing - even though it didn't really work well.. xD - , he taught the others how to sing, too! With a lil' help from Purple, of course.
: ̗̀➛ Purple and Green tried many times to teach Orange how to sing, but then they finally concluded that Orange is a lost case. ;')
: ̗̀➛ But! They managed to teach the others how to sing, though!
: ̗̀➛ Red is a quick learner, so it wasn't too difficult to teach him how to sing. They all had a lot of fun while singing together.
: ̗̀➛ While with Yellow, surprisingly it was harder to teach him, but he got the hang of it eventually. After many failed attempts on trying to teach him how to sing, that is... But atleast it wasn't as bad as it was with Orange. ;'D
: ̗̀➛ Blue was a lil' more difficult, but it wasn't that hard, either. - Green suspects Blue used potions to learn how to sing quicker, though... And he was definitely right.
: ̗̀➛ So now they all kinda have a band together with Green and Purple as the main singers.
: ̗̀➛ Second isn't excluded in this, though! He can't sing like the others, but he can play a electric guitar pretty good. So, basically; He's the main Guitarist.
: ̗̀➛ Alan is the audience. xD
Tumblr media
Welp! I think that's it..? Pretty sure there is alot more, but it's already midnight in my place (almost 1 am), so... (why do I always write these at midnight?? lmao)
Cya u all in my next blog! <3

We Did It (We Didn't)
Post-MH, Tim and Brian attempted to leave the past behind them… but they're now being hunted
Back to Contents || Back to One-shot Contents
Months had passed since Jay’s death and Alex’s demise. The only good thing was that Tim had, hopefully, set Jessica up to have a normal future going forward and he’d managed to rescue Brian after his fall. Although, the journey to getting him up and walking again had been a long one—and healing the mental and emotional damage done by that entity was still a work in progress. So many late nights trying to scrape together the cash to pay for the medical bills on top of everything else had taken its toll on Tim as well. 
But overall, things were getting better! ‘Were,’ being the key word. Even after moving away trouble began to catch up to them. First he’d gotten a tape with Jessica’s gruesome murder by some thin masked figure in a white, grimy hoodie. The dried black ooze reminded him of the stuff he’d sometimes coughed up along with blood due to the tall entity. They’d moved soon after that, fearing how this stranger had gotten their address. 
But the proxy had found them again regardless. After a fight resulting in their attacker’s death—something he felt guilty about given how young the teen girl had been, Tim was once again finding himself stuck in a hospital praying for Brian to pull through. The blow to the head had worsened the injuries from the original fall and this time, the doctors didn’t seem to think he’d be as lucky. 
“I’ll be al’ight.” Brian had promised with that toothy grin of his. 
Tim wasn’t so sure. 
But he’d tried to stay positive for Brian’s sake. He stayed at the man’s side as long as he was allowed between check-ins and visitation hours. The prognosis was still guarded according to the last update and Tim knew his time allowed in the room was running out for the night as the clock ticked on the wall—a sound that had started to annoy him now that things were quieting down for the night. 
A little too quiet. A frown crossed his face as he took note of the silence. For a moment the humming of the machines started to sound like a familiar distortion and the hairs on the back of his neck and along his arms prickled. He tried to tell himself it was nothing, just bad memories playing tricks on him. Then the power went out.
The hospital plunged into darkness for a moment before the backup kicked on. Machines could be heard coming back to life as the staff called out somewhere in the distance. The overhead lighting however, stayed dim and flickering. Orange emergency lights swirled and flashed against the wall outside. 
Goosebumps rose on his skin as he peered into the strangely deserted hall. The way the orange lights moved against the sterile walls reminded him of his own time in the mental hospital… when it was burning. Minus the smoke and the doctors rushing around to get themselves and the patients out. 
“Where are they anyway?” Shouldn’t someone be coming down to check the patients in this wing? Should he hit the call button to get someone here?
Tim ducked back into the room, feeling his paranoia playing up again. Something wasn’t right. That buzzing was wrong. He shook Brian rougher than he’d wanted to but was desperate to wake the man up. 
“Bri, hey, we have to go.” He tugged the IV and other wires and needles from the man’s arms as gently as he could while moving quickly. 
Brian groaned and looked around groggily. “Wha’s happening?” 
“Nothing good. Can you walk?” 
Of course he couldn’t. Not on his own at least. Tim helped support Brian’s weight and hurried into the hall with the taller man limping beside him. Glancing down both ways, he tried to recall which way would take them to the exit. 
“Left.” Brian tugged at him. 
Tim didn’t know how he’d know considering he’d been unconscious on arrival but it was a fifty-fifty shot. He tried to keep the panic in the back of his mind as they wove through the squeaky-clean halls. Each turn was making him feel more lost. Surely there weren’t that many hallways, right? At least not that he’d been down when they’d taken him to Brian’s room. 
“Tim…” A cough followed Brian’s panting breath as the man leaned more weight on him. 
Pausing, he checked in on the other man. Despite the poor lighting, he could see how pale and unfocused Brian was getting. Looking around, he still couldn’t see any signs of other people… He couldn’t hear them anymore either. 
“Rest for a moment… get my bearings… We aren’t trapped here. I just… went in a circle or something.” He tried to convince himself, though it didn’t work very well with the paranoia playing the worst scenarios. “It isn’t here. We’re states away from Rosswood. This is just.. Something else.” 
He sucked in a harsh breath as he heard footsteps walking closer. Whirling around, he saw a man in a doctor’s coat walking towards them. His dark hair had a tint of gray in it and his face was scruffy—features he couldn’t recall any of the doctors here having. As the man got closer, Tim caught a glimpse of dark stains around the cuffs of the white overcoat… and a dark wet trail back towards another room. He’d seen enough blood to know what it was even in the swirling of orange colored lights; they needed to get out of here.
“You’re not supposed to be here.” The man was taller and clearly built as he looked down on Tim. 
He couldn’t find his voice as he dragged Brian with him in retreat. The guy tilted his head to the side, revealing that same damned mark that girl had. As if knowing his train of thought, the man smiled and pushed back the white fabric to show off the weapon hilted at his side. The sharp blade swished out as the man charged. 
Tim ran as best he could with Brian’s now completely dead weight. It’d be faster to ditch the injured man and save himself yet he couldn’t bring himself to leave Brian for dead. He turned another corner only to skid to a halt on the slick floor as a wiry figure came from the other end of the hall with a metal bat. They looked closer to his age than the man had. However she was leaner and definitely shorter than the other guy who was now blocking the way he’d come. But those differences certainly didn’t make them less dangerous.
“Nothing against ya, kid.” 
Tim turned as the man spoke, his heart leaping into his throat when he saw the mask he now wore. The smooth features and thin white over the eye holes reassembled the Operator’s face just a little too much for his liking. Paired with the orange lights flickering like fire against it, he realized with a sense of dread that he’d seen this man before… The night the hospital burned to the ground. He’d even said those exact same words.
His body felt numb as he tried to scramble away, tripping over his own feet as he adjusted his grip on Brian. The man had gone too still in his arms. Tim wasn’t sure if it was his mind playing tricks or if Brian’s body was growing colder. His eyes darted back to the younger figure, noting the familial resemblance with the older man—not that it aided his situation. Unlike her father, their expression seemed more sad about what was about to happen. 
He pressed his back to the wall, completely trapped. A fit of coughing wracked his body, flecks of blood speckling the formerly pristine floor. Through blurred vision he could see the faceless entity itself watching several rooms down. Tim lunged for the younger of the two attackers, determined to at least go down fighting. Their scuffle didn’t last long before a sharp blade opened a gash across his back. 
His shout was muffled by the woman beneath him freeing an arm from his grip and landing a blow to his throat. Once more he was coughing and his moment of weakness brought another stab of the man’s weapon into his flesh. The feel of his body tearing open as the blade yanked out was painful. Even without looking he knew it was fatal. His brain was feeling cloudier and his limbs were losing their ability to respond. Tim crawled over to Brian’s side, relieved that they’d at least left him alone… Although, he knew it meant the man was already gone. 
“We didn’t get away… don’t… don’t think… we ever could’ve…” His eyelids felt heavy. 
Breathing was becoming a real chore too, though he tried to force himself to keep it up. Through tunneling vision he could see the younger of his two murderers walk over and crouch down in front of him. She was saying something but his mind couldn’t process it. Tim flinched as they reached out, closing Brian’s eyes and then his, plunging him into darkness as the rest of his life ebbed away.

Katalepsis after live-read thoughts collection
So, now that im caught up about in time for book 1 to end, i am just regurgitating half-thoughts ive had along the ride, doing some retrospection and working my way through all the stuff i still want to draw.
I think thats one of the big things i really noticed and appreciated about katalepsis. Theres just drawability to it. I havent decided yet if its Hungrys writing style in general, the genre, or most likely, a characteristic of Heathers that got me to figure out i can use my laptop as a drawing tablet. Heather in her internal monologue just has a real appreciation for spaces.
A space is rarely a backdrop to do a scene in, the places and buildings and dimensions are characters to heather in a way that just makest a lot of sense for someone who grew up seeing the personified spirits of the everyday world as well as the varied wilds of Outside.
When the Stairwell trap is sprung, theres a very real feeling of betrayal, the willow house has forsaken raine and heather, who previously thought it a sanctuary.
We later learn that the space was bound, artificial, forced to act against its inhabitants in a way a house usually would not, which fits some themes that come up waaaaayy later.
I originally thought this would just be a quirk of heathers, some flavor to her thought processes, but it really did get picked up as an actual story beat, not just an aesthetic, with the soul of edward lilburnes house.
The Outside places are a bit more metaphorical about this, but strangely more clearly alive as well. The Library is an extension of the catalogue, wonderland is dominated by the eye. Ooran Juhs Projected space is his own physical gullet. Carcosa is the stage of a living play. The very first outside space we get to properly see is on the back of some giant creature, hairs and all.
Theres just Personality to every place that keeps them all so very, very vivid.
Ive been planning to draw wonderland ever since the mirror incident at the very beginning of the story, and in a very funny way, as ive drawn other stuff along the way ive been training for wonderland and the eye along with the cast. I really want to do it justice.
Staying on said cast for a bit, ive already talked about raine for a good bit, but theyre all amazing. I was always happy to see that an arc or a few chapters would become a cast members designated backstory time, because i really do want to know more about them and how they work as people. After about the middle point of the story though, those moments and how they connected became pretty hard for me to keep track off
For a reader who was along for the ride since the start, having to wait between chapters as they come out, the pacing probably works way better than it did for me.
I found myself really wishing for more time with the spookycule in each stage of development it had. Early katalepsis with just raine evee and heather is probably where it was the closest to ideal for me, in terms of just vibes i enjoy and things to keep track of.
I dont want to be too analytical, im bad at that, but for example we only see the fractal used to banish a sharrowford cult servitor once.
There could have been way more time spent in the twilight of magic, the street level zone, where every accidental slip outside is a moment of grand terror, and heather learns to live with the idea that the spirits are real.
For someone who gets called “Shaman” a lot later on, we only really see her asking a spirit for directions once (the wrecking ball hands gorilla), where i was expecting that to become a very integral bit of her kit as a character. I love the cephalopod changeling we got instead, but i do feel there could have been a heather who learned to work with her non brain pain vomit inducing abilities for practical reasons, at least for a little while.
After that comes the Messenger demon and maisies message. Knowing the rest of the story, i love that the primary motivation set up here has jack and shit to do with Ed or Alex. This isnt a story about killing the bad guy, its in a very serious way a story about love and that is what should motivate the characters.
Ed and Alex really are just invaders to the story, who grasp at threads that should not concern them at all, with their meddling eventually causing the collapse of Alexs portion of the cult under the Eyes gaze.
I dont quite know how much actual space is in between Kimberly and Zheng joining the household, but this is really the part of the story where just a lot happened at once. We get both badger and sarika, the entire abyss transformation and zheng so very close together.
During the time of the dead hands there is actually some breathing room though. Mostly because set dead hands keep us consigned to a breathable atmosphere for a bit.
The other big stretch of story that i wish lasted longer is the post proposal journey with sevens and saldis through carcosa. Given how time works outside, that whole stretch of time could have really stretched for a while without threatening the maisie limit, and i do wish that some of sevens later character development had happened in here, since i didnt quite know what to think of her after they left the palace, whereas right now in the end she is one of my favourites. I still dont know what i think of the king in yellow being in this story at all, but thats a me issue.
Yeah, so given that most of the smaller thoughts ive already posted in the liveread chat, i guess ive now covered my two big thoughts. I love how katalepsis treats spaces, and the only thing i had any problems with was the pacing, which tbh might just be because i didnt take my time when reading at all.
Time for even less structured thoughts now, just a rapid fire of things that come to mind after reading:
I hope we eventually get a perspective on the worlds cosmology from a mage fully unconnected to the vaguely interconnected british underworld of mages, im very curious how deeply different interpretations of outside, the abyss, demons and beyonders a person might have if they never interacted with the humunculus wars environment. The abyss beeing wet and aquatic seemed to be a general truth, to edward, zheng and even lozzie, until we met taika for example. I want to see more of that.
I said earlier that sevens has become one of my favourites, which is kinda stupid since most characters are my favourite at something by some measure, but Raine and Evee are still the two that are the most meaningful or connected to me. Ive already gone into maybe too much detail on how Raine just works in a way that ive never seen portrayed in anything for some reason. What i havent really realized until about now is how similar evees struggle is. There is that same need to feel useful. They both define their fundamental self via a skill that is in some way repulsive to them for whatever reason, and must cling to another to point them in a direction where they feel they can use it to do good. Evee has to feel useful, has to justify her presence and her dangerous knowledge to herself to some degree, and helping heather is how she does it for now.
The fundamental difference i think is that Raine chose to define herself that way, as knight errant, as supporter, while evee feels any other option to act on the world was taken from her by her mother. This mostly takes the form of her physical disability often stopping her from acting in time, reaching places, but also stopping her anorgasmia seemingly stopping her from loving in the way she thinks is correct (at that point of the story at least. Both of those are changing of course, mostly thanks to Praem).
It kind of lines up with Kimberly in a funky way, since she essentially decided not to use sorcery to justify her presence, both in the house and the story, but still remained around and appreciated, as a sort of in universe counterpoint to evees negative view of herself.
Thats all i can think of for now, i dont actually now how to end this, this isnt a sotry analysis, i have no conclusion except that im glad i caught up so close to the end, because im excited to see all of us react to whatever crazy shit is going down live!

zero escape fan here:
if you want to play it yourself, i recommend playing 999 first on an emulator and using the ds version. 999 has a remaster that is sold with vlr and cant be bought seperately, so i like to think of it as a sort of "test run", and then you can get vlr on steam or whatever.
additionally, in the remaster they screw with the writing a bit? like, they change it from 2 screens at once to 2 screens you have to toggle. a LOT of letsplayers play on adventure mode, which ONLY has them talking and none of the important details present, so they have to make characters point out the obvious and it just sorta ruins the flow. if they play novel mode [which has both dialouge and the narration], it comes off as just constantly repeating itself. the worst part is that youll most likely have to look for playthroughs that are almost a decade old if you want to watch the original ds version as a playthrough— so i think its best to play that one yourself.
vlr and ztd dont have these issues, however, so feel free to watch those as playthroughs :) im new to your blog, so i dont know where you stand on the "ill only buy a game if i REALLY wanna play it and ill usually just watch a playthrough" to "if im interested in a game, ill buy it myself and play it and use letsplayers for recommendations" scale, but it seems like youre on the "only buy if necessary" end from what ive seen so far. im just trying to give advice :)
[and if youre iffy about emulating or dont want to "pirate" a game, nintendo has stopped production of this game and the consoles it plays on, so this is the only way to play this game unless you want to shell out at least 800 bucks for a new ds/3ds and a legit cartridge. the remaster takes 999 from what id call a masterpiece to just a good game, and ive played through both versions of the game 100% and the remaster got me LAUGHING in serious situations just because of the writing. the ds version is definitely the way to go for a first playthrough, at least in my opinion.]
anyways, from one zero escape fan to hopefully another one in the future, i hope you enjoy! play/watch a letsplay however you want, this is just one stranger's suggestion. having fun is the important part, and if you want any clarification tell me and ill send in another ask 👍
Thanks very much for the advice! And yeah, you've absolutely hit the nail on the head with the ''only buy if necessary'' XD I don't exactly come from a place with the income buy video games or the consoles needed to play them myself so easily, so Let's Plays it is! Which isn't too bad since I really like reacting to the game along with others, so I guess there's a silver lining there. Although I did hear about some issues with 999. Something about being sorta lost in translation too? NicoB's videos are exactly a decade old and the original ds version if memory serves, so I should be in clear with most of these issues. Good to know that the other two games are free to watch without difficulty at least.
I'm currently at the point where Akane and Junpei are investigating door 4 (with Lotus and Santa) and it's definitely super engaging at the moment. The investigation style really reminds me of DRA2 chapter 4's one, which was my absolute favourite investigation in the entire series (along with V3 chapter 4), so I'm super excited to see more of it! I love how the characters bounce off each other so well. I LIVE for Snake's snark and Akane's nerdiness, they're so lovely. And Nico's commentary during the more serious situations had me CACKLING so bad, especially how dirty he does the 9th dude every time it's amazing.
Stranger's suggestion or not, I very much appreciate the sentiment! I definitely feel like this will be a game I'll be stuck with for a while, but if it's already this fun now I think I'll be happy to stay ^-^ I'll be sure to keep this in mind! From one potential Zero Escape Fan to an already one, thanks and take care 👍

currently stopped at 12/2. there’s a lot i wanna talk about. this game makes me feel so incredibly strange. ill leave a very messy ramble under the cut
being past a majority of the significant moments i feel like i can give a pretty lengthy discussion of my feelings
the game does what it says on the tin it’s an hd remake. storyline (at least as of the date i cited) is by and large approximately the same.
the game itself is gorgeous it looks amazing. there is so much clear effort put into every little aspect, of which everyone is already greatly aware
i have highly mixed feelings
things i am enjoying
a nice handful of the link episodes and optional content are feel good and sweet moments that give a better impression of the cast’s relationship, which is always welcome. particular examples im personally really about include shinji’s link episodes and the group study sessions
theurgy moves and how they reflect each characters growth in their second move that unlocks with their ult persona. trismegistus’s theurgy killed me dead.
lots of very welcome qol changes that streamline numerous parts of the original game in a way that feels pretty good. i particularly enjoy the text message function and how it reminds you who’s available which days while also letting you fast travel directly to the link in question, and the net functionality thing that lets me see what others decided to do each day. a ton of helpful stuff for someone really forgetful basically
ive been playing on peaceful because im not good at rpgs (yes i spent $70 on a game from a genre i am notoriously bad at!!!!) so i can’t speak much to a lot of gameplay stuff but im glad tartarus has more to it and has also received qol changes that make it less of a slog to grind (at least in my experience). in general tartarus’s overhaul rules; visually the alternate environments with different corresponding floor layouts are awesome
they let ryoji be bisexual outwardly! kinda pretty much? much like aigis’s “I know you should be with a man” in portable it’s hard not to take “I want to be more than a friend to you” as anything other than explicitly gay. i still have a few more scenes with the guy so it might take a minute before i can be fully confident in this point.
things im not enjoying
the quality of the character writing in a lot of places is either off, irritating, or it flat out feels incorrect in some instances. whether it’s aki dropping the p word as liberally as he does or mitsuru being constantly put forward as intimidating and that’s the whole joke, or the weird new speech quirks aigis has, there are moments you can very much tell the writers are going “how many times can we fit this same unfunny joke or bit across the game”. it feels like a greater chunk of the time that they don’t Know what to do with the characters so they fall back on pushing whichever flagship trait that character is known for and it really hurts the overall enjoyment of the additional content when it feels so…shallow? as a result. not ALL of it is this way but there is a significant enough pattern that it’s genuinely a bother
how little they use the potential of this remake to demonstrate individual character dynamics that aren’t otherwise frequently touched on (i.e say yukari and shinji or aki or like aigis and shinji or fuuka and aki; there’s like a ton of character duos within sees that we just don’t really have a grasp on how they feel about each other). i was especially disappointed at the lack of shinji with other people than the rest of senpai squad or the protag, which is what i was most looking forward to having more of going in. maybe some of what i was hoping for is in tartarus dialogue i didn’t wind up triggering (which there is an insane amount of that id love to pick through once im done) but just based on the episodes i played and the hangouts i did it’s still like man. i wanted to see him being friends with other members yk? they barely took any cues from the portable slink.
BECAUSE the story is written so closely to the original any weird inconsistencies remain the same, although there are a handful of moments where they clarify certain important things that i don’t believe were in the originals. on a similar note whereas they smartened up and made stuff like romance optional and removed that notorious transphobic scene, they’re still not immune to being really fucking weird about age gaps and grooming !!! and of course the sexualization of highschoolers remains ‘Detrimental’ to the storyline 😐
ok i writing this as i am so sleep I am falling asleep with my phone. my primary thoughts for now make of that what you will. god i hate video games

fumi headcanons below and also i'm dumping my wakunan thoughts too
my wakunan lore crumbs :yippeeee:
since they are canonically considered one of the top 4 schools in the region until karasuno beat them, they're definitely a powerhouse school. so generally they know seijoh & stz & niiyama (tech) & johzenji & dateko & vice versa way better than how karasuno knows them (by the start of the anime), wakunan probably holds practice matches regularly w them all
on that note i don't think they've beaten shiratorizawa at all; they've won a couple matches against seijoh, but cannot win against them consistently; they struggled with johzenji but after okudake left and terushima became captain they have become much better; against dateko most matches have to end in a draw because dateko's defense and wakunan's receives are that good. uhh. that's all ive got.
considering they're sorta the nekoma of miyagi i think they'd like. Know? Nekoma? have practice matches against each other? i'd reckon that if they didn't have matches beforehand, they do now bc of takeru and kuroo; at the very least, they both seem like the type to Want to face the other team at least once. (pulls out my corkboard) this is how wakunan knows the tokyo teams--
i do not think wakunan is A Rich School like shiratorizawa is, either; it's still in a quiet part of miyagi (haven't decided on a town yet), and fumi herself lives in a small town.
fumi hcs :yaaaay:
fumi's a rlly good manager bc she has rlly good memory & she's great at keeping up with everything on the court, taking notes on both sides/what plays they do/etc, to the point that in practice matches opposing teams will even ask her about their stats throughout the match. he's very good at what he does!! wakunan's best manager in probably 209382 years
fumi goes to the university of tokyo as a literature/journalism dual major, with a minor in a stem field. most likely something science based! he decided early on that he’d continue expanding her managerial skills, which is why he chose a humanities major instead of stem
has been using perfume ever since she started high school. she’s not risking it around sweaty high school boys who sweat through their deodorant faster than they can run. usually she smells like vanilla; she prefers the sweeter scents!
originally fumi wanted to take ballet lessons, but due to his chronic ankle instability, his father advised his to not to, just in case... and he didn't, cuz he didn't wanna worry him.
if she didn't get hamsters, fumi's dad was seriously considering getting her a munchkin cat!! just a pet in general; he works a lot and she's home alone, so he wants her to have Some form of company that isn't shunki.
sits down. so fumi's mom and dad are divorced; her mom has? dipped from her life; there is zero contact between the two of them. though they are still in contact with her mom's side of the family, fumi's dad is mainly worried about securing funds for fumi's college career and keeps contact for that reason.
fumi if he was in spiderverse and was a spider btw

This is going to be a loooonnnnnggggg story so I'm having to put it under a keep reading line lol
For those curious - this is a recent experience I had at a metallica weekend concert which waz the best weekend of my life
My dad had gotten me metallica tickets for my birthday in April for night one w/pantera and mammoth WVH because I had never thought I would ever see pantera in my life (Due to Dimebags tragic incident) and I had already seen 5FDP last year when Megadeth opened up for them. A few days ago before the concert I found out that we had accidentally gotten both day tickets. I was stoked because I had been thinking how cool it would be to see 5FDP again along with metallica twice in one weekend. We carefully planned out our weekend because I was not going to let my dad waste those tickets let alone we had 2 more- One for his girlfriend and originally one of his buddies who backed out. I pulled along my boyfriend since 1) hes never been to a concert and 2) metallica is also his favorite band so if he saw them as his first band I thought- well shit- if I was in his position I wouldve been fucking stoked (best part he said the weekend was his best weekend ever)
Friday morning we skipped school and work and shot immediately down to LA to avoid traffic (if you live in California or have at least driven through LA at least once you know what i mean) and had to find somewhere to stay the night and get ready for the first night.
We get to the stadium and find our seats and hear Mammoth WVH first and ive never heard any of their music and it was very good (highly recommend listening to them) and I was slowly getting more hyped. Pantera came up and- Phil Anselmo gets out there on stage in fucking board shorts and no damn shoes on his feet and hella made the entire stadium straight up go fucking crazy. So well fucking performed that night. We had about an hour wait before metallica and when they came up playing Creeping Death- like holy fuck??? Just straight up slapped in the face by this godly fucking music ive only heard in the car- on my headphones through either phone or cd player- through my record player- and now I get to hear it for real...right there...and oh my god, I felt like i was in a dream all day that day, and this wasnt even the best part of this weekend- and I felt so fucking amazed. The next 2 were Harvester Of Sorrow and Leper Messiah and it sounded so fucking good...2 very good songs I wasnt expecting them to play but holy shit- it was worth it. On came The Memory Remains- the entire stadium was singing- you could hear your own voice align with everyone elses... And then it was Lux Æterna- and then it was Too Far Gone?... It was great- it was amazing. Rob and Kirk had a little bit of a "doodle"... And they looked like they were having fucking fun. Next they played Fade To Black, and I started getting emotional...then they played Shadows Follow which is my favorite off the new album which brought my emotions back up- Just to get myself lost into listening to Orion...and Nothing Else Matters really kicked me in the feels...
Sad But True played and my bf got really hyped since it was one of his favorites off the black album, and once again i got hit in the feels with The Day That Never Comes....
And once again Hardwired brought my energy and emotions up and when Fuel hit my dad and I went full on screaming the song to each other and watching the pyro and flames go off.
Metallica all paused for a second and went...
"We have time for a couple more songs...how do you all feel about...SEEK?"
I didnt hear the first "seek", but fucking hell...my bf lit up like a light bulb...
And then fucking Master Of Puppets to finish off put that cherry on top.
And all i could think off was...
I get to see them.
Again.
In two
Fucking
Days.
NIGHT 2
Hyped as shit.
I get to see 5FDP Again.
I get to see fucking Metallica Again.
My phone dies...
So I think welp I'm fucked if I want to take photos and videos for myself but eh I get to enjoy it in person, I dont really need my phone and I cant complain about just seeing it and everyone else could record it and take photos so we could all look at it later together or something and have fun with it
It was hotter this night compared to the first, so before we ran to our seats we got drinks and I ended up cutting my hand open on a water bottle but I didn't let it bother me much
We went to our seats and started getting settled and this guy came up with what looks to be a VIP ticket slung around his neck and an envelope in his hand and goes
"Hey how are you guys tonight?"
My dad with his audacity goes
"Well my daughter got a cut on her hand from a water bottle a bit ago but this is her late birthday present and shes not letting that bring her down so I think were doing great!"
"Fucking sick!" This guy replies and says, "Hey you know what?" He puts his hand into the envelope...
4.
Fucking.
Snake Pit Wristbands.
He hands them to us along with guitar picks that my bf took so fucking many of and walks away saying
"You guys will be down there, have fun"
I start balling my eyes out.
I couldnt believe all of this was happening, we were trying to find our way down and I'm just crying while everyone was taking turns guiding me down and I stand there in this field and I look around really questioning if I'm asleep and I'm just tripping on drugs or if I'm literally in the middle of the snake pit and imagining how fucking cool James Hetfield is going to look standing there in front of me where I was standing against the wall.
I must've lost it for another 15 minutes before I came to my senses and actually started getting hyped for all this because everyone would be right there in front of me.
A few minutes later Ice Nine Kills performs and I also havent heard much of their music but they were badass, all dressed up and acting like they were killing people on stage and it looked so cool yet if you were where I was it also looked so fake at the same time but it was fucking great.
They ended and 5FDP was up next and the first time I saw them it was another situation where I was at the top of the stadium and i just saw them from a distance but now I could actually see them right in front of me.
And then they came up.
Holy shit.
I was so excited to see them again and right there that I couldn't stop jumping (literally) and I had more energy then everyone else in the pit for them to the point I had Ivan Moody, Zoltan Bathory, AND Chris Kael point at me at least once.
They started wrapping things up when Zoltan Came over, points at me, and throws a pick directly at me, and I had everyone around me trying to catch it before I did but I got it directly thrown at me and caught it and I got so happy I shook my bf, dad, and his girlfriend.
Next thing to you they played The Bleeding and Chris comes over and points at me while playing his bass guitar and we looked at each other and both lip sang to the song and I got more excited over that then getting the pick.
When they started leaving the stage he came back and gave me his sweatband that has his last name imprinted on it and I couldnt fucking take it.
It was so fucking cool and badass and I didnt stop wearing it till a couple hours ago when I could finally put it somewhere safe.
Everyone started crowding in for metallica and we all started getting crowded in, and once AC/DC's A Long Way To The Top started playing everyone got really excited and hyped and crowding in more.
Everyone also started looking at Jason Mamoa amd taking photos of him in the snake pit with us before metallica came out.
After Metallicas long cutscene/intro finished they came out and played Whiplash...
If I had just reached as far as I could I could've touched Hetfields foot thats how fucking close I was to him.
At that point I couldnt even explain song by song how amazing it was, I was just rocking out and I couldnt stop, it was so fucking cool and amazing and I couldnt stop jumping again and throwing up the devil horns it was great.
End of the show they were doing theyre out to and throwing everything out and my bf got one of their picks and I started having that verge of tears again because I still couldnt believe what I just witnessed.
Not only did I get rare collectables from 5FDP, but Metallicas crew gave us pit tickets to make everything possible and that proves how fucking amazing they are.
Best weekend of my life, I couldnt be anymore grateful.

Detroit Become Human is such a flawed game. I just got done playing it, and in some parts it was downright triggering. But I really like your blog, and a lot of the fandom, that see through the "pacifism is the answer to oppression" bullshit the game tries to shove down our throats, and have good takes in general about the characters and the storyline. Maybe you could offer your two cents? It still makes me wonder if it's right of me to engage in the fandom, even like this. I'm not black, or jewish, which were the two groups most attacked by this game's depiction and appropriation of thsir struggles. I don't feel I have the right to "reclaim" this game (is that the word?), even if I have subversive takes to it.
honestly anon, im very flattered and honored to be asked this, but i have to say i dont have any solid answers much less right answers about this :( i knew DBH has oodles of problems since release, ive been heavily criticising it myself since then, but for some unknown reason ive gotten pretty hyperfixated on it (i only played it because i got it for free, i can at least say id never hand my money over to the original creators), and i can only say my view on this (and most media of this genre), and its that i think it can be a constructive thing to criticise media from whatever background you have (?). i consider myself a huge hater because almost every media i like ill do exactly this, ill enjoy stories and aspects of it but basically go through a looking glass to each "social issue problem" (idk what to call it, sorry) i can spot to keep myself updated i guess? i dont always discuss it to not be the party pooper though
i came to tumblr also because it seems to be the most open to this, talking about the bad not just of the story but the choices made along bringing this game to life. for DBH in particular my thoughts are that there are a lot of good points it either accidentally made or just about missed the opportunity to do in regards of technology with capitalism, humanity's desensitization to abuse towards human-like things, and sometimes i try analysing why the horrible parts even exist or what makes them horrible if that makes sense? for example i may be wrong, but the North x Josh rivalry sort of came off to me as pitting two oppressed groups against each other as almost a test of your own morals, would you as the player rather side with a sexually traumatised 'angry' white woman or a violently abused 'calm' black man? when this is a mechanic that doesnt make sense, with the fucked up mind of the producers behind this, it wouldnt really be a big shock if it was the case. i also think its incredibly ableist in its methods, the old disabled man keeps yearning for his death and musing about humans being far inferior for their "fragile existence", and the game visibly intends for you to believe him "wise" for this, while i think it not only shows their ableist beliefs, it isnt necessarily an unbelievable character? a bitter, once abled bodied healthy and wealthy man suddenly deprived of some of his "liberty" would clearly become nihilistic once hes got just one of his priviledges stripped from him, imo
i also am appreciative of recreational work, if im being frank! derivative works are something i personally really really enjoy, since im pretty bad at inventing things from scratch? and ive seen fix its from people that basically take some of the monstrosities in the game and either recontextualise them or reframe them way better
in conclusion, im too biased to give you a good answer, so my middle of the road answer is always "enjoy things but with a critical mind and avoid giving money as much as possible" :/

most of my remnantposting is on my twitter or instagram that i refuse to go on ever again. so heres a ""brief"" summary of everything ive ever thought about them ever. good night
i dont think any of them are cool or sexy. i think theyre all teens-20somethings from the early 2000s with little to no emotional intelligence. kadaj bites and spits at people, yazoo has a hyena shriek laugh that genuinely scares everyone nearby, loz has a perpetual sniffle that cant be blown out no matter how hard he tries. they all listen to the gaian equivalent to tool. in my post-ac universe they squat in abandoned parking lots and apartments and constantly smell bad. they steal from local businesses daily. they love each other they kick the shit out of each other they would strangle each other in their sleep theyre all they have.
i dont think theyre in any way connected to the first class trio. if any of them met genesis or angeal theyd laugh in their faces. theyre sephiroth's shitty tulpas that werent expected to live more than 3 weeks. they're the defaced spirits of some dead kids no one cared about that were dug up and reanimated by the Sludgiroth. theyre each individually sephiroth, theyre sephiroth's headmates who escaped containment, theyre sephiroth's children, and they also would shoot sephiroth point blank if they could figure out how to get her to exist at the same time as them. all of this is entangled in my interpretation of them -- these are not separate instances of how they could exist, the remnants of sephiroth are all of these at once.
i am once again reminding the world that kadaj was originally supposed to be like 14 and they aged him up and subsequently nerfed him for the fucking movie and thats a crying shame. i guess i get why but its still sad. he was way funnier when he was a self centered middle schooler who could shapeshift and blow up helicopters with his mind powers. loz and yazoo are twins but loz is older by .3 zeptoseconds and he wont shut the fuck up about it. theyre both 22 at the very oldest. i cant really nail down a cohesive age for them. older than 18 younger than 23 (cloud's age in ac). specifically loz and yazoo have straight up telepathy between each other.
--
loz is my favorite to think about. when he sneezes he discharges electricity like a cartoon character. he likes dogs and a bunch of strays know where to find him for feeding times no matter where he's hiding that day. he's a wall puncher. he thinks he receives the least Hauntings from sephiroth but in actuality hes just got really good at ignoring whatever the fuuuuuuck is going on with that. hes not stupid hes not a himbo hes fucking autistic. he stole a catalytic converter once, went to jail and then turned into a haze of black smoke in front of everybody in the holding cell. everyone's reaction was "ah. this fucking bullshit again". sure, yeah, hes a secretly big softie but also has thrown people through brick walls. constantly uses the excuse "im just playing" after absolutely obliterating someone. the only way he can sleep is with the knowledge that yazoo is awake.
yazoo cannot go outside without being covered neck to toe. she wears gloves year round, inside and outside. if you tried to have a staring contest with her your eyes would shrivel up in your skull from dehydration before she would blink. she brushes her hair in exactly 153 strokes every day and night. she could tell you how to take apart and reassemble any shinra-issued firearm between the years 1970-1997. she's on the somethingawful forums. her contact picture in her brothers' phones is an anime cat girl surrounded by assorted ballistic and chemical weapons. she actually does have really shitty aim. like really bad its quite funny. any time she's hit something its been a stroke of pure luck. she's nocturnal actually. not a "night person" just straight up biologically encoded to be nocturnal like some sort of opossum or raccoon.
kadaj has 0 chill he will say anything that comes into his mind. its quite stunning. he goes on manic tirades about how nothing matters and how one day hes gonna kill everyone and then yazoo brings home his favorite muffin from a stall at the market and he evens out for a little. he does sermons for the gaggle of street urchins he orders around. he knows the most about the whole jenova-sephiroth connection thing and is mad about it. he stalks rufus shinra for years and has made the turks skitter off like mice just by looking at them. chronologically hes the oldest remnant (existed for several weeks-months prior to loz & yazoo) but bodily & behaviorally he's the youngest. needs constant monitoring lest he wanders into oncoming traffic while following the voice of god. the only way he can sleep is on top of one of his siblings.

Hiria: the Eternal City playthrough (Part 3)
Part 1 here
Part 2 here
Entry 5
Step Die: 3, Chaos Die: 4
New city: abandoned (11) city of diesel fumes and railway yards (9) in perpetual motion (16)
Event: A parade moves through the city (3)
Trace: A photograph with writing on the back (4)
I slip from one train to many, from the station to the railyard. Once again, not a person in sight, but this time the air is filled with the sounds of industry and motion. Trains run in a railyard, stopping and starting in a blocky ballet, always managing to avoid hitting each other. One train in particular, a gaudy gilded thing, commands my attention as it gleams and glitters through the noxious fumes.
Figuring that Balthazar might be attracted to this given his previous life, I hop from train to train towards it, often frustrated by trains criss-crossing in front of me. When I finally arrive, it is as silent and empty as the others, but contains luxuries and distractions galore. I remain on mission, but find only a black and white photograph of Balthazar with the following on the back: "Take this and go home, whoever you are. I'm not who you're looking for."
Entry 6
Step Die: 1, Chaos Die: 2
New city: abandoned (11) city of diesel fumes and railway yards (9) and a cyclopean train station (17)
Event: A highly anticipated match or game is being played (4)
Trace: A dedication in a book (6)
I leave the train, not even realizing I've shifted yet again. "I'm not who you're looking for?" Who does he think I am? What does he think my purpose is? When I look up, I realize I've entered a cavernous train station with a hole in the roof to let in sunlight. At least, that was doubtless the original intent, but now it just perfumes the air with fumes.
Scattered around the station are large television screens, all tuned into the same channel. A sports pitch of some sort, empty as the rest of the city is, but the cameras keep cutting around as though following some unseen action. I watch, mesmerized by the bizarre ritual, briefly forgetting my purpose for being there. I finally manage to tear my attention away from the screen to discover that the light has changed as though I've been here for hours (though it couldn't have been more than a couple of minutes). A travel guide to Hiria lies next to me, authored by Balthazar IV. The dedication on the interior: "To my pursuer: please take this and enjoy yourself. You shan't find me anywhere within its pages."
Entry 7
Step Die: 2, Chaos Die: 4
New city: anarchic (10) city of heavy smog and cobbled streets (8) and a cyclopean train station (17)
Event: Your Quarry is transformed (19)
Trace: A statue in an abandoned square (19)
Is he taunting me? Is he sympathetic? Is he trying to understand me? These thoughts and more plagued my head as I emerged from the station into smoggy streets. The travel guide itself appeared to be for a different version of Hiria, not even one that I had been to during this chase, and thus was no particular help.
At least people were around again, and surprisingly cheerful ones at that despite the air quality. They would emerge from the smog with a cheerful greeting before being swallowed up again moments later. God only knows how they find their way around here, I can't see more than a few feet in front of me.
Suddenly, through the soup, I come upon another statue of Balthazar. Goodness, but this is getting old. How many monuments to his family's power can there be? And here, where it's possible they've never even heard of them before! I don't give it much of a thought, but just as I pass it I hear the grinding of stone on stone. When I turn back, the statue is gone and heavy footsteps slam against the cobbles. Furious at how close my Quarry was to me without my knowing, I give chase into a new city.
Entry 8
Step Die: 3, Chaos Die: 4
New city: vibrant (8) city of tiled roofs and enclosed plazas (7) lit by bioluminescent fungi (18)
Event: The city is hit by an earthquake (10)
Trace: A photograph with writing on the back (4)
The ground shakes and I fall to my knees. In front of me, the stony visage of Balthazar IV surveys me from a distance and raises its foot again. Bringing it down, the world quakes again and terracotta tiles fall around me to splinter on the pavement. Again and again he stamps, raining destruction around him as he looks on impassively. His uncaring face sears itself into my memory as I shakily crawl towards him inch by inch. Something hard hits my head and I lose consciousness.
When I come to, I am surrounded by the wounded. It seems that no one has died, but hundreds, maybe thousands, have suffered from that monster's fit of pique. Colorful buildings lie in ruins, glowing from the luminescent fungus that has escaped its broken containment. The denizens of this city are skeptical of my explanation and apology for what happened, clearly humoring my addled brain from getting hit by a particularly large roof tile, but gladly accept my help in rebuilding. I'm no expert, but I am not particularly injured and am back on my feet in no time.
After several weeks of work, the worst of the damage is cleared and rebuilding has begun. One of my compatriots taps me on the shoulder and hands me a postcard with my name on it that was found in the nearby wreckage. A photograph of the city as it was, with the writing on the back: "You brought this upon the city, not me. Leave me alone and it needn't happen again."
I know it is time for me to move on.

I have been playing Pokémon GO for 32 months this go around. (I do not have access to my original account from the Summer of GO.) In that time, I have collected 43 Pokémon with perfect stats -- just over 1 1/3 per month. However, of those, 18 are purified; because purification adds two points to each stat (which cap at 15 points), it is much easier to get a "hundo" through purification at base, but considering that I fight far fewer Rocket Grunts per day than I catch Pokémon (the most generous ratio is 1 Grunt per 25 captures), purified hundos are astronomically easier to find. Thus, it's more apt to ignore those 18 of 43 and say instead that I have 25 hundos, meaning about 2/3 of one per month of play.
That's playing every day for at least two hours a day. (I have missed days and I've played for longer periods of time at once on several days, but I figure my usual rate equates to about two hours spread out across the whole day.) That's close to 2000 hours of gameplay, as a rough estimate.
By contrast, I'm sure I could beat that number easily in the Gen I and II games (same IV caps) through various methods (besides exploiting glitches) in the usual play time for those games (26-30 hours).

Rng reporter gen 3 online
Tumblr media
RNG REPORTER GEN 3 ONLINE HOW TO
As you can see for each stat there’s a Dropdown Box, a plcae to input a number, and 3 buttons. Now finally you want to enter the desired IVs. 1000 to 9999 is a good range, as most C-Gear seeds are 1000+ and anything over 9999 takes a while and gets really boring. I’m going to search 1 through 50) You should then set the Minimum and Maximum delays. (Very specific spreads such as mine are extremely unlikely to find on frame 1. Since you’re just starting out I would make both the minimum and maximum 1. Minimum should be 1, and the higher the max frame the harder this rng’s gonna be. Finally, enter your trainer ID near the right side. Note that although Stationary Legend and Wild Pokemon have different tabs, they still have the same results. Then, change the Encounter Type to what you want to RNG. You should be on the Capture tab right now.įirst change the method type to Method 5 (C-Gear Seed) like shown in this pic. Don’t get phazed by it’s looks, it’s really not too complicated. You should find yourself on the main screen.Ĭlick Time Finder, and we’ll be working on this screen from now on out. Go to the place where you’re catching your target, put the Synchronizer as the lead in your party and save. I would also suggest bringing at least 10 of EVERY kind of repel. Make sure you have at least one spot open in your party, and you have plenty of the best type of Poke Ball. If you don’t have unlimited Master Balls you should bring a False Swiper and a pokemon to put the target to sleep. Okay put your Synchronizer, your Sweet Scenter if you’re not using RNG on a Stationary, and a strong pokemon in general if your Synchronizer and Sweet Scenter are weak, so you can Max Repel your way to wherever you need to go. PROTIP: For easy access you should put your timer, and everything related to RNGing in the RNG Reporter Folder. The newest version of RNG Reporter found here () Credit goes to OmegaDonut and Mingot and all the people who work hard on cracking the RNG just for us! You guys are awesome!Ī way to check IVs (Action Replay, Metalkid’s IV Calc, whatever) Download the one that corrosponds with your system Thanks goes to ToastPlusOne of Smogon forums! ) (Fairly easy to get on Amoonguss)ĮonTimer or ZOMGTimer found here () (EonTimer is for Windows, and ZOMG is for Mac. (Munna!) The reason being is that if a pokemon has Synchronize and is the lead of your party, it has a 50% chance of transferring it’s nature to the wild pokemon.Ī pokemon with Sweet Scent if you’re not trying to RNG for a stationary legend. Something to play Pokemon Black or White on (DS, Emulator, whatever.)Ī pokemon with the ability Synchronize with the nature you want the target pokemon to have. So still want to do C-Gear abuse? You sure? Positive? Alright lets get to it then! You can’t control your Nature, Gender, Ability, and what pokemon you encounter with sweet scent, so once you hit your seed, you just have to hope you’re lucky.įor all intents and purposes, C-Gear is harder, and you can’t get as good results, so if you have access to a original ds or ds lite, QUIT NAO. Sounds pretty intimidating.(Standard seed is only exact to a second) You have to be EXACT down to 1/60th of a second. (refer to this guide for that)Īfter Calibration RNGing only takes a few minutes depending on the situation. Only way to RNG for Dream World pokes in Dream Balls.
RNG REPORTER GEN 3 ONLINE HOW TO
So yeah, as long as you have access to a DS or DS Lite I would look on this guide Įasy to learn if you know how to hit delays from 4th Gen. As shown later, the cons really outweigh the pros on C-Gear RNG abuse. WARNING: I strongly suggest you try standard first. Reading stuff you already know can get pretty boring. If you already know how to 4th gen RNG I suggest referring to OmegaDonut’s mini-guide, as 5th gen C-Gear is much similar to 4th gen. This guide is perfect for anyone who has NO clue whatsoever on RNGing, because I tried to make this guide as simple as possible. Hey everybody, in this guide I’ll (hopefully) teach you how to C-Gear abuse. Warning: in editing stage, i'll edit when I'm bored.

Tabletop Simulator
Tumblr media
💾 ►►► DOWNLOAD FILE 🔥🔥🔥 Re-create and play any of your favorite card games, board games, and even pen-and-paper role-playing games, all in this virtual sandbox environment. Check Out This Mod. Finding something to play is definitely crucial for a good game night — but so is actually having somewhere to play. The Chimera Table is a one-size-fits-all six-player battleground with enough space for any game you want to try. It also has several drawers and slide-in surfaces that can be opened and closed through a simple, unobtrusive widget at the top of the screen. This has become a must-have for me, as it allows everyone to keep their dice, tokens, miniatures, cards, and even drinks organized in a very realistic way. This mod will introduce a wide array of hi-poly beveled dice to your digital game room — including D2 through D34 with some special dice thrown in here and there. Any amount of players can sit down and play UNO without any prior experience. Great for a simple, fast, and fun session of obsessively keeping tabs on other players so you can call them out when they fail to announce their last card. Both mods are great. Even your normie friends will want to play! But some game nights are better served by a simple, classic title that everyone knows how to play. A murder has taken place, and novice detectives will have to piece together the whodunit, howdunit, and wheredunit of the crime by exploring the game board and sharing their theories. Welcome to the future, folks. Expect to see several FE staples reflected in its gameplay — including the classic weapon triangle. Turns are simultaneous, and the winner is automatically decided once it becomes impossible for a player to lose. Each player has a secret win condition, but none can be achieved if the colony collapses. So reluctant teamwork is vital. This mod features various boards, detailed props and models, and includes the Warring Colonies and The Long Night expansions. This award-winning indie video game makes its way to your game night table with The Binding of Isaac: Four Souls — a game about sacrifice, hoarding, and betrayal. I love games that are easy to get into, but tough to master — and Exploding Kittens is one such game. This official release of Frostpunk: The Board Game for TTS simulator puts up to four players in control of the last city on Earth during a calamitous ice age. This mod includes detailed 3D models, a gorgeous game board, and it automates many of the more time-consuming aspects of Frostpunk. There are just too many things to setup and keep track of, and it really puts the GM to work. Well this TTS mod helps speed things along by scripting several aspects of gameplay. Now your GM can focus on crafting the best possible experience while you and up to seven more players worry about keeping your characters safe in these treacherous dungeons. Kingdomino is an award-winning game where up to six players compete to expand their kingdoms, taking turns to annex wheat fields, lakes, and mountains represented as dominoes. The rules for annexing a domino tile are simple — at least one of its sides must match an adjacent owned tile. This game follows up to five spacefaring mercenaries as they fight for control over the largest outlaw coalition in the galaxy — the Moonrakers. Made by the IV Games — the same people behind Moonrakers — Veiled Fate casts up to eight players as powerful deities who are trying to get their favored demigod champion into power over the mortal world. Distracting others with witty jokes while carefully clearing the path for your champion to take over. The game mod includes all the cool miniatures, character cards, and special tokens that came with the original board game, setting the atmosphere for a night of fright. In Gloomhaven, up to four players create an adventurer and set out into a dark and dangerous world full of dungeons to explore, monsters to fight, and riches to find. Everything from character creation to monster-fighting is pretty much automated. It also includes everything the original game does, including detailed models for characters and monsters, and a high-quality game board. One of its best parts is the gorgeous miniatures for characters and enemies — all of which were scanned and added into the mod for authenticity. The Cats have taken over the forest, and several factions have risen to defend their interests and drive invaders away from their ancient homeland. ROOT is a player asymmetrical board game, meaning not all players start with the same resources or have the same win conditions. The Cats try to hold their power over the forest, the Eyrie try to take back the woods from the air, the Alliance skulks around in the shadows setting up traps… and so on. Oath is a unique game player game where you and your rivals will shape the history of an ancient land. Every single decision you make will have repercussions for every subsequent game session. Over the span of 25 years, the classic Settlers of Catan has gone from a niche game to a mainstream hit — and now you can play it online in Tabletop Simulator. The mod also includes all necessary game cards, dice, and a box for each player containing everything they need to get started. Red Dragon Inn follows up to ten brave adventurers as they sit down for drinks and gambling once the monsters are slain and the loot is claimed. Slowly, players will run out of money or succumb to their blood alcohol levels until only one remains. This mod includes all Holiday cards, along with the Canadian expansion, the 90s pack, and plenty more. Nelson Chitty is a Venezuelan expat living in Argentina. His ideal weekend is spent between leisurely playing games of Civilization VI and looking for the next seinen anime to marathon. If you buy something we may get a small commission at no extra cost to you. Learn more. Image source IRL games are always fun. But Tabletop Simulator is a decent alternative! Maybe you need some more games to play with TTS — and mods are the solution. Stay Connected.

Marja Aeducan | Darvis Brosca
Allys Mahariel | Ellimere Tabris
Rosalind Amell | Shay Surana
Sirena Cousland | Isette Kader
picrew here!
(check out the read more if you wanna hear me ramble about my warden kiddos)
Marja Aeducan - Champion - Ambitious, Charismatic, Strong-Willed
Although she was the second-born, Marja had a natural talent for politics and lofty goals within the Orzammar nobility. Becoming a Warden was not something she would have chosen for herself, but after a long period of adjusting to the surface, shifting her perspective, and getting through a brief identity crisis, she took to it very well and became a well-respected Commander. Through a long journey of bickering actually became very close with Darvis and thought of him and her fellow Wardens as family. She romanced Sigrun in Awakening because canon is fake and I do what I want.
Darvis Brosca - Assassin - Sarcastic, Clever, Protective
For most of his life, Darvis was mainly concerned with surviving life in the Carta and taking care of his family. Getting recruited by Duncan and moving to the surface with the Wardens gave him a sense of freedom he’d never known and didn’t quite know what to do with. Dust Town left him with a cynical outlook that he never quite shook, but his surface friends did soften him up a bit. He didn’t stay with the Wardens permanently; once the Blight was over and he knew Rica had a good life in Orzammar, he decided to travel with Morrigan and raise their son together. He would rarely admit it but he did grow to consider Marja family as well.
Allys Mahariel - Ranger - Curious, Confident, Cheerful
Allys loved her clan with all her heart and was devastated to leave them behind, especially not knowing what happened to Tamlen. Her clan was her entire world and she felt that she could never really belong anywhere else. But she kept her head high and resolved to make the best of things, and to do whatever good she could as a Warden. Despite the homesickness that never quite went away, Allys grew to care deeply about her new companions. Alistair was her BFF, and she and Zevran adored each other and went on to adopt a whole gang of kids after the Blight was over.
Ellimere Tabris - Duelist - Brave, Compassionate, Determined
Elli had a lot of complicated feelings about joining the Wardens. When she agreed to it, it was with a fair amount of reluctance and guilt. She knew it was for the best, but still felt like she was abandoning her family. As it turned out, however, Elli made an excellent Warden and was really good at the whole ‘saving the world’ business, and went on to use her influence as HoF to improve conditions for all elves Ferelden. It was hard at first to let herself trust her companions, but she became really close to both Leliana and Zevran and surprised herself by falling head over heels for Alistair. She was heartbroken when he died killing the Archdemon, and vowed to find a cure for the Calling and prevent any more loss to the Blight.
Rosalind Amell - Blood Mage - Rebellious, Outgoing, Creative
Ros had a reputation as a troublemaker in the Circle, and it was pretty well deserved. If she hadn’t Joined the Wardens, it wouldn’t have taken long for her to try and escape on her own (or rather, with Shay- she would never leave them behind). She didn’t take the Wardens very seriously and mostly viewed them more as a means of keeping her freedom, but when push came to shove she was willing to do whatever it took to protect people who needed her. Morrigan was like a sister to her, and she ended up in a poly relationship with Leliana and Shay.
Shay Surana - Spirit Healer - Introspective, Intelligent, Methodical
Shay came to the Circle at a young age and was quickly recognized as having a natural gift for spirit magic. They focused on their studies and tried to stay out of trouble (which with Ros as a best friend wasn’t easy.) In spite of that, they never regretted helping Jowan and readily accepted their new role in the Wardens. It gave them a lot of new opportunities and was, in their opinion, better than living out their life in the Circle Tower. They had a complicated relationship with Wynne, their former mentor, was best friends with Velanna, and ended up in a poly relationship with Ros and Leliana.
Sirena Cousland - Berserker - Direct, Pragmatic, Passionate
Being a Cousland meant that for a long time, Sirena thought she knew exactly what her life would be like...but that obviously didn’t pan out. She went through some rough times dealing with the loss of her family and former life, and for a long time was more focused on revenge against Howe than the Wardens. She bonded a lot with Alistair over the people they lost, and went on to marry Anora and become Queen alongside her. Becoming Queen gave Sirena a new sense of purpose, and her relationship with Anora was actually quite sweet and helped her heal and actually deal with her grief.
Solenne Kader - Spirit Warrior - Observant, Empathetic, Innovative
With a reputation for deftly handling tricky situations, Solenne was an obvious choice to be sent to Ferelden after the Blight. She came from a family of merchant dwarves and left the business willingly to become a Warden- she found the topic of the Blight fascinating and wanted to study Wardens and their connection to the darkspawn firsthand. She was very interested in pursuing the new questions raised by the existence of the Architect and poured a lot of effort into renovating Amaranthine.

Like Unrequited IV
Tumblr media
Part ONE | Part TWO | Part THREE | Part FOUR 
pairing : heeseung x fem!reader / sunghoon x fem!reader 
genre : angst/fluff. bulleted. 
warnings : hmm, swearing. a little bit of a scuffle. 
summary : where the curse of unrequited is given to another. 
Tumblr media
It was almost night time when you and Sunghoon dawdled into a Subway together 
Hungry from just walking through the city 
Getting to talk to each other about the randomest things 
Playing little games 
Not letting go of his hands once 
You didn’t really want to
His hands felt nice in yours and after the shittiest couple of months you just had 
You wanted to be selfish 
You wanted to hold a hot guy’s hand when the air was getting colder, roaming around and being the teenager all those Pinterest boards motivated you for 
He pressed his lips together as he recognised the music playing 
He turned towards you 
Pumped up on the adrenaline of the cool air outside 
You picked out the cookies you wanted to try 
Collecting almost a baker’s dozen 
You turned towards him to ask a question 
It wasn’t really important anyway 
Because when you looked at where he was sitting 
He was smiling at you, wiggling his eyebrows and shimmying his shoulders to the beat a little 
You danced a little in reply 
And it felt like all the possible magic in the world surrounded you in this moment 
Time wasn’t really time 
You had felt a similar type of way once (with Heeseung) but this was different 
You truly felt it this time 
There was no fear of rejection or fear of the unknown 
You didn’t really care 
Not with Sunghoon anyway 
You grabbed the cookies with a sweet smile which was surprisingly returned from the owner 
You still wore it as you approached Sunghoon 
‘What are you smiling at?’ 
Sunghoon asked, his expression somehow mirroring yours 
You decide to be brave 
‘You.’ 
‘Me?’ 
‘You.’ 
He licked his lips, grasping your hand in his again and braving the cold wind together 
The two of you were acting all mushy when you returned through the school doors 
It wasn’t as free as being outside at night time was but- you two were stuck together  
Your friends watched you both in the corner of their eye but didn’t say anything
However 
Ryujin being Ryujin 
Made a comment about it 
‘This....This is feeling a little grosser. More sappy if you get what I mean. So are you dating yet or what?’ 
It went a little quiet 
Uhm 
You both looked at each other 
And didn’t say a single word 
Ryujin raised her eyebrows and chuckled a little before staring at the little shit in the corner 
.. 
She grabbed Heeseung’s collar and yanked him upright 
‘Oi, get up, you sick bastard’ 
Ryujin pulled him to the side whilst he grimaced at his messed up clothes 
She stood in front of him 
‘You fucked up didn’t you?’ 
He pursed his lips 
‘Don’t you know about it already?’ 
‘No, Y/N knows I’d fuck you up if you did something wrong.’ 
‘Then how come-’ 
‘I can tell by your face, and the fact you’re sulking in the fucking corner.’ 
‘I just- I don’t know what I’m feeling and she’s with Sunghoon all the time and I feel like I’m losing her and it’s driving me crazy, Ryujin’ 
‘Is it possible that you’ve liked her this whole time?’ 
‘That’s crazy. If I liked her, I would be dating her by now.’ 
Ryujin sighed 
‘I doubt it. I don’t think you even realise that you didn’t actually like that girl.’ 
‘- Okay fair point. But I think if I liked Y/N, I would know, at least.’ 
‘....Think of it this way, Imagine dating me.’ 
Heeseung shivered 
‘No thanks.’ 
‘You don’t have to be a bitch about it.’ 
‘Sorry but’ 
He clenched his teeth together 
‘See? And how did you reject Y/N? Did you even think about what she was saying to you? Did you let yourself actually process it and make a decision actually based on your feelings?’ 
Heeseung nodded, barely looking at her 
‘So stop the bullshit.’ 
‘You’ve liked her this whole time and it’s time for you to realise what you could’ve had.’ 
‘I could still have it.’ 
He was adamant but not confident 
‘You could’ 
Ryujin admitted
‘But, for now, you can’t.’
She offered a sweet smile as she said he next words 
‘I won’t tell you I was rooting for you, because I wasn’t, not really. None of these boys are deserving of her. But I guess you’re marginally tolerable. A little less tolerable than Sunghoon, and honestly, that relationship is a lot easier to digest. But you’re not terrible.’ 
‘Thanks’ 
Ryujin clicked her tongue as she sauntered back inside, collecting his chair to drag it back to the group. 
Where it belonged. 
Heeseung dawdled as he slid into the seat next to you where Ryujin had left it 
You were focused on what Jay was saying to you and Sunghoon looked like he was ready to punch him 
But when he finally sat down
You barely looked at him as you reached over to squeeze his wrist 
Forgiven 
Slightly 
But expected to suck up to you a lot more 
Jake poked Sunghoon’s cheek to focus on you, rather than Heeseung next to you 
It wasn’t that hard to do 
‘Ugh, you’re so whipped.’ 
‘Shut up.’ 
You pull Sunghoon dramatically into the library - ditching the last class of the day 
He looked at you confusedly before scoffing at the surroundings 
‘Is there any particular reason why you’re pulling me into the library?’ 
You pretend to ponder for a second before a grin takes over your face 
‘Just one’ 
You feel a lot less coy now, instead you’re overtaken with nervousness but not one that feared rejection 
You were determined 
A little nervous 
But fuelled by the way he was looking at you and how pretty he was 
And the boy you haven’t stopped thinking about 
Your hands find purchase on his cheeks, where you find has become a habit between the two of you in the past week or so 
He watches you with soft eyes,
He doesn’t quite know exactly what you’re doing 
But he has hope swimming behind his pupils and it drives his heart a little wild
When you press your lips against his for the first time, his heart feels like it’s going to explode out of his chest and paint the whole library red 
His hands find themselves supporting the back of your head as he leans further into you 
The movements between you are slow, sweet and almost dreamlike 
His lips are soft and when your tongues meet, it surprises you that you’re not disgusted by it 
Instead you welcome it 
He angles your head upwards with his thumbs pressing lightly on your jawline 
He smiles when he feels the heat on your cheeks and just how flushed they’ve become 
You need to breathe 
But you refuse to 
He pulls away, his eyes dancing between you both and with a giddiness 
‘At a library of all things, Y/N.’ 
You let out a real lovesick giggle as you go to pinch his elbow 
You were happy 
Sunghoon was happy 
But a boy in the corner, who had been watching the whole thing doesn’t feel the same 
Instead he feels regret, sadness, frustration 
All of it leeching of the happiness he was supposed to feel for you 
‘This is giving me a little deja vu.’ 
The voice pulls him from the scene and instead has him focusing on the boy beside him 
Heeseung has never talked to Jake properly before 
Jake is closer to Sunghoon than he is to Heeseung 
And Heeseung never felt the need to get to know him on a deeper level 
Because Heeseung had hoped that they were temporary 
‘He really likes her. You know? He may be shit stirring, he probably was. Don’t get me wrong. But he sincerely likes her. She’s in good hands.’ 
Heeseung sighs 
‘..I know that now.’ 
Jake looks at him with kindness, swirling with warmth and comfort but it had a hint of something underneath 
Warning 
‘Good.’ 
Jake reaches over, cradling Heeseung’s head in the wing of his arms 
‘If you’re up for it. I know a great place to eat.’ 
‘I’d like that.’ 
Heeseung smiles, even when he doesn’t really want to 
He looks back at the two of you 
And this is all he can do 
Just like that, like unrequited takes a new host. 
Tumblr media

Chapter 0ne
“And so it begins”
Katsuki B. X Reader
Rated M
Warnings: Gaslighting, manipulation, power play, light degradation
The day before the two of you left for UA; Your best friend gave her word to your mother that she would always look after you. Now that the two of you are in your third year she’s officially FED UP with your attitude and childish antics. Mentioning her dilemma to your shared group of friends results in the most unlikely person offering to be her solution to the problem that is YOU.
A/N: The girl in the banner is NOT how the reader is “supposed” to look, it was just a drawing I did specifically for this. You look however you want to, I don’t really make any specific references to your appearance in this story.
🌅
Its Saturday morning; Ive been awake for about five minutes now, but I’m not ready to open my eyes and embrace the conscious world just yet. Hearing the door of my room unlock and open does the trick though. Only one person (other than myself of course) has a key to my dorm room.
“I made breakfast for the both of us, its your favorite” announces Euphie as she walks in, kicking the door shut behind her. I sit up, just as she’s pushing my black out curtains to the side I let out a hiss of disdain as sunlight immediately begins to permeate the room.
“Thank you Euphie” I say with a yawn.
She hands me a plate before settling down on my bed, acknowledging my thanks with a nod as we both tuck in.
“We have plans this afternoon, can you be ready by at least 12:30? No need to get super made up but at least out of your pajamas?” Euphies voice is gentle, but I catch the underlying “I’m not asking, but telling you” vibe she tries to hide.
“For sure”
She smiles at my seemingly agreeable mood so early in the morning and we easily segway into our standard start of the day discussions. “Are we um…Are we going to be busy all day? I….I kinda planned on going to hangout with-“ Euphie cuts me off as she picks up our plates: “No worries you’ll have plenty of time for that, I promise!” Giving me a wink before shutting my door.
She didn’t even know who I was referring to, or what I was going to say….
At 12:55 Euphie reappears to rush me out of my room.
“Hey I forgot my purse I-“
“Don’t need it”
“But my wallet is-“
“Not necessary”
Her tone is clipped, and she has a death grip on my wrist as she quite literally drags me down the hallway. Initially I was taken aback, not being used to receiving this type of treatment from her. My bearings have started returning along with growing frustration each time one of my questions are receiving one word answers, or met with a complete dismissal. Reaching my limit I fail to notice that she’d began to slow down, and I’m wrenching my wrist free of her grip at the exact same time she’d come to a stop.
“What in the fuck is your problem?! You told me that we had plans to go out this afternoon, and you’d treat me to whatever I want!
This-“ I’m interrupted again.
“I certainly wouldn’t do anything for a fuckin’ brat throwing a tantrum like this”
My eyes snap to the side where I see the irritated scowl of one Katsuki Bakugou, as he leans against his door frame glowering at me. Embarrassment further fuels my anger as I turn toward him, pointing an acusatory finger as I begin “No one fucking asked you, stay out of it Katsu-“.
Kirishima suddenly emerges from Bakugo’s room, giving Euphie an enthusastic greeting
“Hey there! You look nice, ready to head out?”. The red head is flashing his signature shark toothed grip at my best friend as he offers her his arm. “You know it” she giggles, taking hold of his muscular bicep. The two of them start to walk off, confused and furious I start to head after them, but a large hand grips my shoulder grounding me in place.
“Bakugo told me he wouldn’t mind keeping an eye on you while Kiri and I went out this afternoon, this way you’ll stay out of trouble and get to keep the plans you’d made with him, bye!” The closing elevator doors add a sudden finalization to her brief explanation.
“Plans?” Bakugo questions while uncermoniously yanking me backwards.
I stumble back, falling through the doorway and landing flat on my ass in front of the now closed door (Which he is standing in front of). Glaring up at him as he continues: “She must have me confused with the local brothel, because thats the only place I’d imagine wearing a skirt as short as that would be deemed appropriate”. His insult doesn’t deter his crimson eyes from roaming the length of my body, lingering on the aforementioned skirt. Getting to my feet, he walks around me and move towards his desk, taking a seat behind it.
“Oh fuck you Katsuki, you can be a real dick sometimes, I dunno what stupid Euphie told you about keeping and eye on me, but I dont need a fucking baby sitter! So ill be off now” with a huff you turn towards the door. “________, I’m not in the mood for bullshit today so just sit down and shut up” he growls, not turning to look at you. He always feels embarrassingly giddy when you adress him by his first name, thats why he insisted you call him by it. That in itself should be an indication of how he seems to favor you.
It makes him almost feel a bit guilty for using a harsh tone when he’d spoken to you. Despite how he treats others, Katsuki is hardly ever outright mean to you; He’s never even given you a derogatory nickname like he has for everyone else. Today’s an off day though…He’s just not used to running on little to no sleep. That paired with his already non existent level of patience makes for a blow up. Especially when YOU were the cause of his latest bout of insomnia….turning to look at you has his thoughts beginning to wander.
Those lips of yours flapping away as you berate him…
They sure would look a helluva lot better wrapped around his-
“-Not even fucking listening to me are you?!” You snarl, starting towards the door again. “I cant believe I woke up this morning wanting to hangout with YOU, guess I’ll change my plans and hangout with someone not so shitty to me…. Like Deku!” A loud crash comes from behind you. The now enraged man had stood up so abruptly, it sent his now vacated chair careening into the wall and toppling over.
“You really just cant help yourself can you?”
His voice is so eerily quiet as he turns to face you, something unidentifiable flashes in his rapidly darkening crimson orbs. You couldn’t exactly identify it, considering it disappeared as abruptly as it had originally came.
“Course you cant, I already know that”
A menacing smile appears on his face as he takes his first step toward you, immediately triggering your natural “Fight or flight” response.
“I know what you need”
He’s only an arms length away when you start to step back.
“You dont know shit”
You somehow summon the courage to speak, but are unable to summon any false bravado to keep you from betraying how unnerved he’s got you feeling as he takes another step.
“I know that your best friend cant stand what a spoiled fuckin’ brat you’ve become, I know she’s so fed up with your shit that she’s about to write you off completely”
The defiant expression you’d worn all this time finally starts to falter.
This marks the first time Katsuki has ever seen how you look when your confidence begins to ebb away, only to be replaced with a mixture of uncertainty and fear.
His sadistic side emerges with glee as your now saddened doe eyes meet his.
“You’re constantly disregarding everyone’s opinion of you unless it aligns with your own, but you dont even know what to think of yourself now that your faced with the possibility of being alone now…do you?
You remain silent, taking yet another step back as he continues speaking.
“You need someone who isn’t afraid to correct you, but they’ll have to of earned your respect….So when you inevitably step out of line, you wont put up a fight when you get put over their knee”
Your back hits the wall.
You swallow down the panic that slowly begun to rise from your chest up into your throat as you realize there is nowhere left for you to go.
“You desperately want to be a good girl, just dont know how to be one, huh princess?”
It’s so adorable the way your bottom lip juts out, but at the first quiver it quickly gets sucked between your teeth.
“That’s why you’re acting out right now isn’t it?
I bet you drench your cute little panties every time you get a rise out of me. Always hoping that its going to be the time I yank you the fuck up and put this brat in her goddamn place, hah?”
You shamelessly lean into the large hand thats now cupping your cheek, letting out a sigh as his thumb caresses your soft skin.
“Mhmmm”
It’s horrifying how easily you just admitted your most guarded secret! The triumphant smirk he sports makes it even harder to accept.
His tone is surprisingly gentle when he starts addressing you once again;
“I can do that for you baby….Let me be the one that finally brings the princess down on her knees”.
Your eyes are practically sparkling at the feel of a sudden pressure being applied to your throat. His calloused fingers squeezing the delicate skin of your neck, effectively making it harder and harder for you to breathe. The thrill of this foreign feeling is instantly addicting.
“Tell me if thats what you want: If its not then shake your head and we never speak of this again”
Bakugo has to at least give the illusion that you have a choice in the matter. Even though its more than obvious that you need want this just as much as he does.
“I want it, I want you” your words come out in a breathy whisper as he releases his hold on your throat.
“I wanna hear you say it princess, what do you want me to do with you”
“I want…no I NEED you to….t-to make me into your good girl please…”
He gestures for you to continue, his raised brow implying you must be forgetting something.
“Please make me into your good girl….Daddy”
The pleading expression and twinge of desperation in your voice stirs something deep inside Bakugo. It was something akin to the last vestiges of some ancient seal had disappeared: The monster that it had rendered dormant had finally roused from its slumber, intent on wreaking havoc.
“You do understand that you’re mine now right ________? Every part of your being belongs solely to me”
Gorgeous ruby eyes scrutinize your face carefully, searching for a single trace of fear, uncertainty, or possible apprehension. All they found was admiration and girlish excitement, and this earned you a genuine smile from the almost always scowling young man.
“Yes, every part of me belongs to you now Katsuki”
“Better get used to this then”
Before you could inquire what he was referring to, he was kissing you.
❤️‍🔥
A/N: So concludes chapter one
Oh god I hope this is well received.
Should I get a tag list together? Is it too soon? If anyone would be interested leave a comment. SMUT in the next chapter, we’re moving faster here because let’s be honest; Smut is what all of us want! 💦
