how to build a chair........... director's cut ∠( ᐛ 」∠)__ this is about to be a very long very self-indulgent post where i just talk about my own writing. i also doodled on all the pages i think it makes the whole thing more fun to go thru. welcome to my ted talk

SIKE before i begin. credit where credit is due, this post was the start of it all. it changed my brain chemistry my jaw was dropped i was in awe i was obsessed and before i even finished it i knew that i would eventually have to make something similar for the commander or else i would be cursed to think about it for the rest of my life. and i Was cursed for like two years every day i would just be like........ is today the day i sit down and draft the commander chair fic of my dreams....... maybe tomorrow......

and then i got accepted as a writer for the gw2 zine ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ the chair idea was actually my backup option in case my first idea didn't pan out, and thank god it didn't, bc this one worked so much better. (still working on my initial idea, just turning it into a full fic! it was wayyy too long to be a zine submission.)

this is the chair i used. i downloaded the assembly instructions and tried out a bunch of different free pdf editors until i found one i liked, which ended up being sedja. if anyone's interested in doing something like this, i recommend printing out the pdf and writing directly on it! it was a lot easier for me to just figure out everything on paper first and then digitalize it after :P here's a picture of my physical copy

okay actually getting into it for real this time !!!!!

1. yeah i could've just erased the ikea logo and left a blank space but then i realized i could turn it into an in-universe joke. and then i ran with it.

2. i ripped this straight from the product description on the website. thanks ikea

3. i'm not sure if anyone went and looked it up, but it's a real item code!

hehe :3c

4. if your commander willingly goes to therapy i'm happy for them but TO ME? you'd have to drag the commander kicking and screaming. it's not that they don't know that something is wrong with them, they know, and they know YOU know. you're just never supposed to talk about it. they don't look at their own psych eval results bc that's none of their business.

5. i normally avoid specifying the commander's race when i write them bc i enjoy the challenge, but for the zine i was assigned to write about a norn commander! as a human main i was uhhhh very ill-equipped. but that just meant i had to study up on my norn lore (•̀ᴗ•́)و i spent hours on the wiki, then went around interviewing norn mains for their opinions, which was great fun :D it all helped me narrow the focus of my piece: joining the war on commander objectification on the side of commander objectification (ㅅ´ ˘ `)♡ and no one self-aggrandizes quite like the norn commander!

and to balance that i knew my narrator had to be patronizing as shitttt. they've clearly been following the commander since the beginning and seem to know a lot of intimate details about their life, despite not thinking very highly of them. wonder who that could be :3c

6. i can't stop making references. so the original part number is actually #122620 in the manual but i've changed it here (and on the previous page!) to #082812, as in 08/28/12, the date gw2 was released! no real reason for it, @dalennaugw suggested it for funsies and i liked it. if you're my pal and i show you a wip and you have a cool idea for it, chances are i Will put that shit in. hi dale if you're reading this

7. another thing about me. i loveeee repetition. here the word "over" is repeated four times to match the picture. honestly a lot of the creative process for this piece was just staring at the pages and figuring out how to tie the pictures to the commander in ways that weren't extremely corny or trite. idk why i enjoy writing like this when i could be frolicking in the beautiful prosaic meadows of a word doc instead but. it's like i see a tiny little restrictive box and i'm like OH BOY can't wait to think inside of that thing!!! i like when the format matters just as much as the content and in some cases informs the content. am i making any sense here. well all you need to know is that i'm a virgo and my favorite book is house of leaves

7. aw fuck just realized i wrote 7 twice. whatever i'm not changing it this is 7 part two now. the theme of my piece is glory, what it means to the norn commander, and how far they're willing to go for it.

8. does norn culture place emphasis on seeking individual glory Yes are norn also very community-oriented Also Yes. i think it's common to see norn kids napping together in a big pile, usually after they've worn themselves out playing games outside. it makes sense practically (apes together warm) and socially (pack bonding good) but that's just my hc. growing up i used to share a bed with my cousins all the time so it's normal to me.

a young, naive not-yet-commander, with no real combat experience, has no point of reference to compare a "blaze of glory" to. but the way everyone talks about it, it must be a good thing. a wonderful thing. a reward fit for a life well-fought and a legend hard-earned. so they imagine it must feel like falling asleep surrounded by the people they love, who love them in turn.

9. .........i was playing a lot of ace attorney when i wrote this page. i wish i was joking 👍🏼

10. ohhh shit the truth come OUT this whole chair thing was all a ploy just so i could write about the departing. again.

will i ever stop thinking about her. reply hazy, try again later.

11. out of all the pages, this one has the most emphasis on text placement, like comparing the enlarged picture of the screw to a sword, the numbers counting the screws, and "up up up" being arranged to mimic a wisp of smoke.

i also wanted to lean into the viking/norse mythology influences with my word choice.

12. more nods to norn culture. i didn't know they referred to the six human gods as "spirits of action" until i was doing the research for this piece :O

and the domain of the lost is called a hall of ghosts....... cause valhalla.....

13.

i'm sorry this so funnyyy. SAYS the guy who literally clawed their way back to life for a rematch.

me when i'm in a sore loser competition and my opponent is the COMMANDER!!!

14. arms as in "limbs" and also arms as in "armaments" :•]

15. haha get it because the picture makes it look like there are two mirrored speech bubbles while the text paints two opposing interpretations of the norn commander. one that's selfless and humble versus one that's selfish and vainglorious.

16. and the best part is IT DOESN'T MATTER which one is true bc at the end of the day no matter what their motivation, balthazar is dead by their hand. ofc i'm of the opinion that the most compelling interpretation of the commander is both, simultaneously. contradictions are good for the soul.

17. i could've name-dropped kas, the only person present that would do something like that, but i felt it was better to leave it ambiguous.

18. low-hanging fruit. the metaphor was so obvious here but i had to do it. for the culture

19. the alternate title for this piece was "THIS COULD BE GLORY". "how to build a chair" was only supposed to be a placeholder title til i figured out a better one, but the innocuousness of it grew on me. also i came up with the other one too late and had already advertised under the chair title lol

20. my first instinct was to end it with something more reassuring, like "what you have built so far is enough" but that would've been an ooc switch-up for a narrator who has been nothing but snide and detached this whole time. gotta stick to my guns

21.

obligatory chair joke as the last line. for realsies though it’s meant to be an earnest appeal to the commander to take a break, to have a seat, but it’s also a challenge. are they willing to lean on their friends? are the bonds they’ve forged strong enough to hold their weight? are they willing to put their faith in someone else’s hands? are they brave enough to try? well. only one way to find out.

also guess what that wasn’t even the real last page of the manual. it's THIS

but no way i was letting this be the image we ended on. IT LOOKS LIKE A DICK AND BALLS!!!

and on that note, THANK YOU if you made it this far!! a very special shout-out to @hawkepockets, my lovely boyfriend and beta reader, without whom this piece would not be nearly as polished. i would bring him pages to look over and he would say Scrap half of those lines you can do better than that. kill your darlings. i would complain and argue for a few minutes then we would revise. rinse and repeat until we had honed this thing to perfection. i can't stress enough the importance of having a second pair of eyes on your work throughout your creative process, even better if it's someone who challenges you. i don't even pay him 🫶🏼

and if there was anything i didn't cover that you still have questions about, please feel free to shoot me an ask! (ㅅ´ ˘ `)♡ thanks for reading! see u later dudes ;P

#gw2 #guild wars 2 #my writing #for once i have nothing to say in the tags bc i already talked so much in the body of the post. #ummmmmmmm meows cutely !

[thatdeadaquarius]

(my first thought after the stone tablet ask)

The acolytes watching their creator burn all their written stories and fanfiction out of embrassment after realizing they can never write something legible to tyvat's citizens:

PLEASE- I LIVE AND BREATH TEYVAT NOT HAVING GOTTEN INTO THEIR NOVEL ERA YET BC I JUST LIKE TO THINK THEY DO STUFF BACKWARDS FROM US

Gif is literally any teyvat person who sees u with ur writing book out 💀 (bc no computers :P)

For reference i think they mean this one

OK BUT WAS WAITING ON SOMEONE TO REPLY WITH THIS MEME AT SOME POINT BC IT FITS SO MANY POSTS ON MY BLOG SO WELL LMAOO

tbh writing and other creative talents r my fav (besides language obv) to explore in sagaus

like bc its such a cool connection to the OG concept of sagau (actually being a video game that's just self-aware part)

like if them being a video game/creation is their whole livelihood, id think other creative skills would matter a lot to the citizens of Teyvat/allogenes

visual art like drawing/sculpting seen as most lifelike magic or something to them, so like anything u draw kinda comes to life in teyvat

writing is literally like the magic lifeblood of their planet (lines of code? like maybe thats why) and also bc it can be read by anyone

im abt to post smth abt that soon, abt how if we take teyvat this way, they literally have never read/seen a full-length novel (just really small short stories really)

so ur fanfics must seem like CLASSICS LMAO (ur 50k unfinished angst fanfic is like a webtoon for scholars and romance readers alike bc "its a romantic epic this is incredible your majesty!"💀)

☆

tysm for the ask!! sorry i didnt see this sooner, some asks get flooded out by the longer ones T-T srry again!

tysm for the meme too, hehe theyre my fav gift from askers besides any random ideas you guys have

[messierthanthou]

Took me longer than expected but here! You and Tangerine are stuck in the snow in a car on the way to a job, and you have to keep warm somehow, hehe

What to expect: Some very slight dirty talk eventually, some fingering and some jerking him off, no p in v because there's simply not room for it in the car sadly! Saving that for another time ;)

3.6k words, whoopsie

Cold, Warm, Hot

Outside the wind whistles and the snow whips around your car in a furious flurry of impenetrable white. The tires lost their grip on the road once you hit a sheet of black ice on the unkempt backroads that was supposed to lead you to your next target; some rich asshole who crossed the wrong kind of people to make even more billions than he can spend in his now short life.

But that doesn’t matter right now, what matters is the fact that you and Tangerine are stuck in the snow a dozen miles from civilization, and with what little cell reception you two have here, Tangerine managed to call for a tow truck. Which will arrive in about 12 hours or so.

“Now, I’m not one to lose my shit over something this trivial, but I told you, bad stuff happens when you split up the team,” Tangerine says, referring of course to the fact that Lemon isn’t here.

Lemon is already up ahead, probably sitting warm and cozy in the cabin you rented as a meeting place and base of operations for this trip. And Tangerine seems to think it’s bad luck whenever he and Lemon are separated for too long, and you shake your head at their codependency.

Tangerine gives the wheels another spin, trying time and time again to become unstuck, but…

“Would you stop that? You’re only digging us deeper into the snow,” you say with just a slight roll of your eyes.

“Fine, but you can’t say that I didn’t try.” And he turns off the engine.

“What are you doing? We’re gonna freeze to death in here without the heat on!” You reach for the car keys to turn them but he’s faster and pulls them out of the ignition.

“So you’d want us to be unable to drive when we eventually get out of this heaping pile of snow? We get pulled out by the tow truck, then we can’t go anywhere because we’re either out of gas or the battery’s dead.”

“Then what do you propose we do?” you ask, exasperated.

“Get cozy; you’re under so many layers over there, surely you’ll survive a short night out in the cold like this.” He gestures to you and your perhaps too many layers of clothes, but you were always one to get cold easily, so it only made sense to dress up proper for the occasion.

“Yeah, well, what about you?”

Tangerine is wearing his usual gingham patterned overcoat and a cashmere scarf because fashion matters more than functionality to this man.

“A little cold won’t hurt me, darlin’, I’m thick skinned.”

“Thick in the head if you think that little getup will keep you warm throughout the night.”

“You’re right, why don’t we snuggle up on the backseat and keep each other warm, huh? Bet you’d like that.”

Heat rises to your face at that, but you’re thankfully not one to blush at something so innocent. No matter how much you’d actually be into the idea of snuggling up with someone as incredibly handsome and occasionally charming as Tangerine. He teases, of course, but there’s something to his grin and a shine in his eyes that might indicate he wouldn’t say no if you said yes.

But you don’t.

“No, I'll be fine over here, getting cozy underneath my too many layers.”

And he acts like it was a joke, but for a moment, just a second, there’s something about the fall in his broad shoulders that tells you he wanted you to say yes to the proposition.

“Suit yourself.”

It wouldn’t be the first time he’d asked you in a jestering manner to become physical with him, and he keeps being a good sport about it even when you say no again and again. And every time you hate yourself a little more, but someone has to have a moral code and keep the distance required in a profession such as yours. Can’t get too close to anyone or their inevitable death will break you down. Stay cool, stay calm, stay collected.

He doesn’t speak much after that as the two of you sit in the dark, the cold creeping in on you both, but you barely feel it through your thick winter coat, sweater, thermal underwear, and the couple of stockings beneath your slacks.

But he is quick to start shivering. He stays tough and stoic, trying not to let it show, arms crossed and head buried in his scarf, but you can hear it in his breathing, the way it shivers with every exhale, and you feel bad for the idiot who decided to wear that outfit that makes your heart flutter.

Minutes go by where you have to listen to his teeth chattering, the stubborn fool still not turning on the engine to keep you both heated, and eventually you give in.

“Get in the backseat,” you say and start undoing your coat.

“What? Why? What’d I do? What are you doing?” He asks too many questions sometimes.

“We’re gonna do what you suggested, snuggle up to keep you warm. If you fall sick on this trip I’ll never hear the end of it from Lemon. So crawl on back there.”

You’ve been told in the past that you can be “bossy” which is usually just a euphemism for “I don’t want to take orders from a woman,” but Tangerine would never say or act like that, so he does as you say and climb between the front seats and into the back of this not-that-spacious car, and you follow.

“So. What now?” he asks as you sit hip to hip and your heart beats faster.

You had sort of hoped he’d decline the offer, act like a big, tough man who can handle it on his own, but he seems almost… eager for this. Like it’s something he’s been waiting for for a while.

“Open up your coat,” you say as you take off yours.

“Oh are we finally doing this? No more will they won’t they?” he jokes again, but there’s not much of a smile beneath that stupidly attractive mustache.

Perhaps he’s suddenly worried about catching feelings like you are, maybe he doesn’t actually want to but has a hard time saying no to you, or it could be that he’s holding back. You can’t figure out which is more likely at this moment.

“No, we’re just going to lay down here on the backseat together. Body heat, as you may know, is best shared when you’re close to one another, so I will do my best to sort of… lie down next to you, and we’ll use my coat as a blanket to shield us from the cold.”

Silence fills the room and through the dark you can barely tell what his face looks like, and you wouldn’t start to guess if he’s interested in the idea of lying with you or the idea of survival.

“Is that okay with you?” you ask and finally he moves as he nods.

“Yeah, yeah makes perfect sense, body heat and all that, sure.” Tangerine is quick to unbutton his coat and does his best to lie down on the backseat without taking up too much space.

And so you lay down next to him, face to face on your sides as it’s pretty cramped in here.

“Like this?” he asks and his voice has never been this close to you before.

“Maybe if we got closer we’d be more comfortable?”

“Sure.”

With him against the backrest of the seat, it is up to you to inch closer and closer till your bodies are pressed against each other, you can feel his rapid heartbeat and practically taste his intoxicating cologne. You’re about half a head shorter than him, but you’re lying up high enough to feel his breath tingle across your lips. He has stopped shivering.

But now you are just this close to trembling. You’re of course no damsel in distress, far from it, but as heat gathers between you and him, eyes locked together, you sigh.

“You ok?” he asks tenderly without a nervous waver to his tone, but you fret a little that if you speak, your voice might not be as steady.

“Mhm,” you hum out and give only the slightest of nods.

“This ok with you? You comfortable?”

If anything you’re too comfortable, and wish he’d stop being so randomly nice to you; it’s a rare side to him you’ve seen only a few times, and he’ll always deny it later on.

“Y-yeah,” you say and curse yourself internally for that slight stutter.

“Is it okay if I put my hand here?”

His strong and firm hand lands on your waist and it doesn’t even take a second for sparks to ignite and fly straight to your cunt as it starts throbbing ever so slightly.

“Yeah that’s… that’s fine.”

You don’t get tenderly touched often in this job; the only time you are ever physical with somebody is either during active combat or training, and never have you been this close to Tangerine, and it’s as if this warmth and gentleness is the key that unlocks the door to this hidden chamber in your mind, body and soul that you’ve fought to keep closed.

Your eyes close and you try to shut the door again, distancing yourself from the situation at hand, pretending not to notice how broad shouldered he is, his strong chest, his heated presence, that hand and the fact that you’re tingling all over and your pussy is drenched with lust for this brit.

Can he feel your heart beating too? Your quickened breath, your trembling legs, your heat.

Unfortunately you want him. You’ve never wanted anyone this bad before and it pains you. Stay cool, stay calm, stay collected. Your mantra. The one thing that has kept you at bay for so long is your devotion to being a goddamn professional, but this? This is far from that.

You wish he’d kiss you, touch you skin to skin. That he’d move his hand down, far down, beneath your pants and stockings and panties. Wish he’d run his fingers across your clit, massage it before slipping in between your soaking lips and down to finger your needy hole, preparing you for his cock to enter. With your eyes still closed you can easily imagine it all happening, and the heat between your thighs intensifies, building up.

“Hey,” he whispers, bringing you back from the fantasy and your eyes flutter open to catch how the moon shines in through the window, illuminating his all too close face and those incredible ocean eyes staring at you.

Then it happens. Your brain can barely register it but your body for sure can as he kisses you and you moan into the embrace. It’s a kind kiss, a gentle one - the type that tests the waters to see if what he’s doing is okay, and when he moves away again you miss it dearly and immediately.

He looks at you, perhaps waiting for a response, a reaction, waiting for you to say no and break his bleeding heart. But you don’t. Instead, you grab his face and pull it back into a deep and passionate kiss, and for just a moment you feel all the tension leave his body as he might realize that you do want this, too- oh God you’re on fire.

And it’s as if he can sense it as he presses his lips harder against yours as if this is all he’s ever wanted to do in life. He could have anyone but he wants you.

His hand on your waist tightens its grip, squeezing you through the shirt. Your hands run into his hair, around his neck and he groans into your kiss.

It doesn’t take long before you feel his cock growing hard beneath the fabric of his pants, and you don’t wait to grind against it with fervor, making him turn his head to hiss and groan out in pleasure. The breath of air is welcome, for his kiss suffocates you in the most delicious manner, making you forget to breathe in his presence.

The hand on your waist moves beneath the shirt and up your back, his touch is searing hot and you want nothing more than all of it everywhere. But you both understand that you can’t exactly get naked right here and now, it’d be too cold and there’s too little space to get properly into it all.

Yet that doesn’t mean either of you are going to stop.

He brings his hand up from beneath your shirt, grabs your wrist, kisses your hand and your palm almost too lovingly, then guides it down. Your eyes stay locked together, lips inches apart as you breathe the same air, as he brings your palm against his impressive bulge, and his eyelids lower at the pressure you put against it.

His forehead meets yours as his eyes close when you rub up against him and you can easily feel every inch of his throbbing cock that you wish would fuck you senseless.

But the best you can hope for right now is to feel it in the flesh, so you reach down with your other hand and start undoing his belt, but shock hits you like a brick when he stops you, and for a moment you doubt everything, until he’s quick to say-

“No, no no no, you first, love.”

It’s always been darlin’ or honey, but never love, and perhaps it is a bit too soon for that, but you feel your entire body tremble at the word anyways.

You are speechless as he then reaches down to undo the button of your pants, let the zipper run down, and when the tips of his fingers start to dig beneath the waistband of your too many layers, you close your eyes in anticipation.

And the relief is glorious when his index finger and middle finger smooth across your clit, letting go of some of that white hot tension that has been building up for what feels like hours, but are in fact only mere minutes.

“God,” you sigh, and you feel Tangerine huff a breathy laugh against your skin.

“Just Tangerine, dear.”

He starts drawing small, short and quick circles with your clit, massaging it just like you had hoped he would and oh he’s done this before, much to the benefit and joy of you right here, right now. You moan out in ecstasy and grip at his muscular arm in a need to stabilize yourself before you drift off to a sea of lust.

“Oh fuck,” you whimper and he doesn’t kiss you, but you can feel him staring at your knit brow and wide parted lips.

It is phenomenal, but it’s not enough.

“I want you… inside of me…” you whisper against his lips.

“Happily.”

And so without hesitation, he moves his fingers further down at an almost eager pace, but you are as enthused as he is, so it does not bother you at all. In fact you are beyond thrilled when his thick, strong fingers enter your slick, throbbing pussy, and as he immediately starts thrusting in and out as best as he can despite the restrictions, you thank God for the fact that you’re out in the middle of nowhere as you practically scream out in joy.

“Oh God, oh fuck, ahh!”

With every thrust of his fingers heat builds in you, coursing through your body, your thighs quivering and quaking, making you breathless. And when he kisses you it consumes everything as his tongue dances with yours while he fucks you thoroughly and passionately.

You’re so close to cumming that it would be irritating under normal circumstances, but right now everything is magic, so you don’t mind the wait for release that your vibrator usually brings you to that now Tangerine does instead.

And when he starts using the base of his palm to massage your clit in rhythm with his fingers entering you, you cry out in pure ecstasy as you cum possibly harder than you have in years, tearing your lips from his as you need all the air your lungs can muster. While you would never admit it due to how cheesy it sounds, it feels like fireworks in your cunt and gut exploding and lighting up your entire body, and you understand why orgasms are called “little deaths” because you could die happy right now as you slowly come down from your high and regain consciousness proper after what felt like a minutes long orgasm.

“My my,” Tangerine whispers against your jaw as he kisses it gently. “What a spectacular show.”

“You should try being me,” you say, breathlessly with a slight smile.

“To be honest that sounds like a pleasure, you phenomenal woman.”

You hum as you kiss the charmer, and when he pulls his fingers out you feel empty inside like never before. He sucks his fingers clean of you and it sends sparks through you to witness.

“Maybe next time I can try the real deal,” he suggests, implying that he’s more than willing to eat you out.

“Oh there’s gonna be a next time?” You laugh a little, because obviously, there’s no way you’ve had enough after just a taste of him.

“Oh there’s gonna be a next time,” he repeats assuredly, and he leans in to whisper in your ear, “I want my cock in your pussy so bad, I’ll fuck you into oblivion, make you cry out my name, my real name some day, and I’ll fucking ruin every other man that will come after me, because love, you’ll never have better than me.”

You practically moan at this promise, and pull him into a rough and electric kiss, whispering. “You cocky son of a bitch, let’s hope you’re good at keeping your promises.”

“Speaking of promises, I think you owe me one right now.”

“Happily.”

You’re not slow to undo his belt, and perhaps it is pure luck that you get it off so easily, but you won’t complain about it when you run the zipper down, and he groans out as you reach beneath the waistband and pull his cock out the best you can in this cramped space.

“Mmmm, quite big, aren’t you?” you tease as you get a proper feel of his girthy, lengthy cock.

“Never had any complaints.”

“I can feel why, God I want you inside of me. In my pussy. In my mouth.”

“If there was space I’d shove it so far up your cunt I’d be rearranging your guts.”

You moan a little with him at that thought.

“Next time.” And you start jerking him off, slowly at first, from the very base and all the way to the tip of his dick, letting your hand get wet with his precum before smearing it all over his length as you travel down again. You continue this rhythm for about half a minute or so, ensuring it won’t be a too dry experience for him, but the way his hips buck forward and his breathing becomes elevated, you’d guess you’re doing a proper job of it.

And if you had any doubts, they all go away when he grunts out-

“Fuck, love, that’s it, keep going…”

His hand grabs your ass as if it is the one thing that keeps him grounded in this moment of dear tenderness. And while he seems to enjoy the slow rhythm, when you eventually speed up he curses even more in a growl-

“Yes- fuck, shit, ah-”

He brings both his hands up to grab your face, kisses you and tongue fucks your mouth like it’s a promise, one he’ll keep, about all the things he’ll do to you that words can’t explain, but actions do speak the loudest.

And your actions seem to do the trick, for the faster you go, the louder he gets and it thrills you beyond anything to hear how vocal he is in his pleasure that you are granting him, and when he cums it is with choked grunts as he presses his forehead against yours and his eyes close up tight.

In your grip you feel how his cock pulsates and his entire body trembles in ecstasy, till he goes completely still and mostly limp in your hand, but still there’s some stiffness that says he could easily go a second round, and that intrigues you for future references, because you could definitely go again, too.

After nearly a minute of huffing for air, he speaks, “Bloody hell, love, that was… fantastic.”

“Hmm likewise,” you muse and kiss him which he welcomes.

A couple of minutes pass in silence as you both catch you breath, when a thought strikes you.

“What… what are we gonna tell Lemon?”

“Oh abso-fucking-lutely nothing!”

“What, really? You’re ok with keeping this a secret from your brother, of all people?”

“Yes! He’ll get all smug and say shit like told you so.”

“Oh? He predicted this?” You grin a little.

“Well not this exact situation, but yes, I may have told him how I find you so attractive, and he might have told me you feel the same sort of attraction to me.”

“And how did he know that?”

“You know Lemon, he’s stupidly amazing at reading people, so it might have been obvious to him.”

“And you don’t think it’ll be just as obvious to him that we practically fucked?”

There’s a moment of quiet as Tangerine considers the outcome of this, then-

“Ah shit.”

Because yes, Lemon will absolutely know.

[andvys]

You are still his Blondie.

He is still Steve.

It's only begging of the chap and you're already bathing me in angst.

You shared another first together, last night. And that feels special and... intimate. It isn't something that he wants you to do with someone else - he doesn't want to imagine you with anyone else, at all.

He only wants this, you finding pleasure in him and no one else. He wants to feel special, he wants to feel needed. And so far, you have been good at making him feel such things.

And he tells himself that this is all it is - pleasure. That the gnawing feeling in his chest, the night before, wasn't jealousy. That it was only possessiveness that he had felt because he wants you all to himself.

My boy is down bad and he doesn't even know...

And yet, the warmth in his chest feels so alarming, a flame that he thought had died, sparking - even if weakly.

No. No. No.

“Oh, oh, I'm falling in love / Oh no, I'm falling in love again.”

"l'll prepare a bath for you to soak in then," he says, glancing at you, "it'll relax your muscles a little."

Steve licks his lips as he looks down at you, his eyes blinking as they flash with something other than lust. There is a softness in them that you haven't seen directed at you, ever before, and it makes your breathing stutter.

So he prepared bath for her, looks with softness st her, knows how she prefers her coffee and still has an audacity to say "It JuSt SeX"... 🙄🙄🙄

He never prepared baths for her, he never did her hair, he never made her breakfast, he never touched and kissed her the way he did with you.

NOT EVEN FOR NANCY

This is serious... Rachel, this is serious...

A part of you wants to ask him if he hit his head, if he is mistaking you for someone else, or if the sex was so good that he somehow developed more than just lust for you.

But you don't want to ruin the moment and risk losing this.

If you were a different girl, you could have this every day.

But you're you, and you only get this now, maybe it's a one time thing, or maybe it's something new in your relationship, and if it is, you will cherish any moment he will give you, for as long as he iswilling to have you.

I just... I wanna hug her so bad.

Not gonna lie, I enjoyed they're little banters a little too much. So refreshing to see them almost flirting and not fighting every second.

This whole conversation about Steve's family (thank you for his Italian roots, though. One of the favorite headcanons of mine). And specifically about his parents... The way she always feels so deep for him... And always wants to protect him...

'Why would you be so upset by him getting hurt?

Why would you care so much when you're nothing but friends now?

“WhY WoUlD YoU CaRe So MuCh” 🙄

Sigh.

Steve called Blondie princess 🥺 And will later pretend like it was nothing 💀

Not them having their little All Too Well moment 💀 I think I've seen this film before.

Right, no harm at all.

It's only your heart that he's breaking.

This is so tis' the damn season coded...

Eddie being caring and gentle with her is all I needed.

"Eddie," you whisper with a trembling voice as you look into his eyes through your blurred vision, "p-please don't tell anyone... I-I will lose him if the others find out. And this is the only way I can have him."

You didn't think that this night would be so much different from the one before.

You didn't think that it would end with you sobbing into your best friend's chest.

You didn't know yet, that it wouldn't be the last time that you would do that.

Your long review always make my day, I hope you know that. I always get excited to read them and see your reactions 🥹

The Labyrinth reference! That's exactly what I was going for hehe

I'm glad you liked the little lore about Steve's family -- I totally agree with all the headcanons about his Italian roots (they're definitely there)

I'm cracking up at how annoyed you are with Steve and his thoughts in this chapter. He's such an oblivious dumbass

THE ALL TOO WELL MOMENT -- listen, the "just between us, did the love affair maim you all too well?" may or may not make an appearance at some point -- but who knows

#andy’s asks #the reaction pics LMAO

[spacedhead]

#first post #hi im alive #im also new here #check out my bio #subscribe to my youtube channel #follow my twitter #idk what I'll do on here yet #if anything #hehe coding reference :P

[youghvaudough]

Here’s a list of random things that tickle my funny bone for no reason in the Kyoshi novels

(as a Mandarin speaker)

am working through the novels currently so light spoilers?

will continue to update as I go 

click 4 sum fun rambles

Horse stance. THIS BITCH DESERVES THE TOP SPOT SO HERE GOES. I somehow did not make this connection until like I’m almost all the way through the book, but 扎马步 (zhā mǎ bù) or if you take the literal meaning of characters “poke horse step” is literally so well known it’s insane. I’m talking one of the first training/fighting stance that comes to a Chinese person’s mind when u mention kung fu/combat training in general well known so I rly dunno how it slipped my mind for an entire book

this particular stance is always a lil funny to me bc of the way it’s phrased in Chinese; with the 扎 “poke”, the intention is to convey a planting & sinking, steadying of the stance that’s just also funny af to me

so imagine sth u find a lil silly & funny fully becoming a flirtatious & romantic code specific to the main characters of the story? hilarity ensued; rip my friend who had to listen to my scream-laughing

Jianzhu, the architect, his name is literally pinyin for building (建筑 jiàn zhù); imagine naming ur kid Building Smith. No wonder he’s such an uptight type A

the name of Jesa’s (Kyoshi’s mom) sky bison, Longyan / 龙眼 (lóng yǎn), while directly translates to “dragon eye”, also happens to be the Chinese word for Longan fruit (which like Lychee, has cloudy, white/clear-ish flesh surrounding a dark, round pit)

Rangi’s name in the Chinese translation of the book is 燃姬 (rán jī), which itself is a basic sound translation, but these characters mean “lady on fire” or “burning lady” this is kinda cute as heck 4 me for some reason????? lil furnace lady Rangi makes me soft

…that brings us to Rangi’s mom Hei-Ran, someone who we know can be cold and calloused in getting sh*t done with some shady days in the academy, & her name may reflect that. her name could be these two characters 黑燃 (hēi rán), which translates to “black burn” or “dark burn”. talk abt obvious characteristic here; nothing more obvious than ur name amirite???

…then again it could also be 黑兰 (hēi lán, “Black Orchid”) which tbh I kinda like better bc it’s more likely to be used as a name; AGAIN, no one wants to name their kid “black burn” it really doesn’t sound as cool as you’d think

SO! After clues from the comments (thank u @taare-writes!) and help I outsourced from TikTok — Hei-Ran’s name actually could be 혜란 in Korean !! also when I put this in the translator I used, the corresponding Mandarin it gave me was 蕙兰 (hùi lán), which is a specific type of orchid (boat orchid I believe?) and SUCH A PRETTY NAME oh my

the term used for the outlaws daofei, is literally just 盗匪 (dào fěi) “thieves/bandits”; this especially tickles my friend (who’s also reading these novels) so I gotta include it for her ;))))

the daofei’s secret gathering spot next to a lake in the mountains, Hujiang, could be 湖江 (hú jiāng) “lake river” or 湖将 (hú jiāng) which if u squint at it could mean “just by the lake”. this is fun bc it’s possible the author just flipped the saying 江湖 (jiāng hú), which while directly translates to “river lake”, has a much broader & meaningful use often in 武侠 (wǔ xiá, if u know u know, but if u don’t you can think of it as samurai or traveling knight but CHINESE) lore: it is used to refer to the world of action, thrills, and adventure walked by these warriors. It’s p cool to me lmao

oh and the Lei Tai the daofei’s fight on? Just 擂台 (lèi tái) “fighting stage”, same thing as the ring in boxing but doesn’t only reference one specific type of fight

Yun’s name is p simple & straight forward, probably just 云 (yún, “cloud”); it’s also an actual last name and I know someone from Highschool with this last name :)))

While Kyoshi obviously has Japanese origins, the kanji corresponding to きょし is 虚子. Japanese kanji have their origins in Chinese characters, and in this case these two kanji can mean “child of the void” (虚 xū “the void / the lack of something” 子 zǐ “child / kid”); pretty fucking metal name if u ask me

Lao Ge, the human alias of the bloodthirsty spirit in Kyoshi’s gang, could just be 老哥 (lǎo gē) “old brother” which is equivalent of just bro

… it’s real name, Tieguai, could be 铁怪 (tiě guài) “iron monster” or 铁拐 (tiě guǎi) “iron crutch”, which both kinda make sense??? given its monstrous tendencies and ancient origins

the green emerald burial sword Tagaka carried with her, jian, literally is just 剑 (jiàn) “sword”. Yes they really went you know what? we gon call it a sword sword

speaking of weapons, the dao broadsword? same thing. 刀 (dāo) literally means “broadsword”. broadsword broadsword hehe

what I find interesting abt this whole weapons naming is that technically when u picture a broadsword, it falls under the umbrella classification of sword (can someone who’s first culture ain’t Chinese confirm this??? thanks); though for Chinese ppl, 剑 (jiàn, “sword”) and 刀 (dāo, “broadsword”) are completely different beasts

basically dao & jian to us r like tigers and wolves when broadswords & swords r like tigers and lions (both in the felidae family)

where this info kinda becomes relevant is bc knives are also translated as 刀 (yeah the one for “broadsword”), and the way ppl know which type of sharp instrument you mean depends on the context. if ur carrying ur dao on ur back (like in the novels) it’s broadsword; if ur looking for a dao to prep dinner with it’s probably a knife unless u really have the urge to chop spinach with a broadsword

the Yellow Scarf’s imprisoned (later freed then dropped) leader, Xu Ping An, has a weirdly ironic name; his name is likely 许平安 (xǔ píng ān), “wish for peace”. 许 (xǔ) can mean “making a wish” & is an actual Chinese last name; 平安 (píng ān) “peace” on the other hand can be & have been used as a name

slight tangent: there’s this Chinese tradition of including undesired characteristics in ur child’s name so they could avoid those things in life I know it’s probably not the tradition mom&dad Xu had in mind when they named him but it did kinda take effect

the design of Govener Te’s mansion complex, the traditional earth kingdom siheyuan design that Rangi mentioned? It’s an actual traditional courtyard’d household design. I’m not the expert on this but if ur interested u can just search siheyuan and read more abt it ! v fascinating

四合院 (sì hé yuàn) roughly translates to “four enclosing yard”, referring to how the structure of this type of housing consists of four sections of single floor housing (each a specific functional space) enclosing an exposed courtyard in the middle. You can still find some of these in Beijing; also these houses go for SO MUCH MONEY on the housing market bc 1. it’s p much a suburb home but in the city 2. CITY LAND 3. homes r just insanely expensive in a city like Beijing. so there’s a running joke that you’d say someone’s well-off by saying their family has a siheyuan

(alright that’s the end of the Rise of Kyoshi!!! Will prolly make another one for the Shadow of Kyoshi; see y’all then)

Puyo Puyo PC-98 Manual Translation

Once upon a time, in the age when the power of magic was bestowed upon the world, a powerful sorcerer created a great spell named "Owanimo." One of the strongest spells of all, it could banish monsters to a space between dimensions, but he sealed it away, recording it only in his "Book of Magic." 

Not because it was forbidden knowledge or incredibly hard to use, but because to him, it seemed useless. And thus, the spell entered a dormant state, awaiting a day when a new sorcerer would come forth...

Years came and went until finally, the seal came undone with the appearance of a great sorceress: Arle Nadja. One day, this auburn-haired girl with golden eyes came across the Book of Magic.

"Owanimo...?" Arle studied the chapter on forbidden spells for what seemed like hours. "When four monsters of the same color are in your sights, chant this spell loudly. The Goddess of Time shall listen, and whisk the monsters away to a space between dimensions." 

Arle continued to read, learning the Owanimo spell, but then closed it with a heavy sigh once she finished.

Why set it aside like that? Well, Arle had never seen "four monsters of the same color" as the spellbook described. 

"I spent so much time reading, and it's not even a spell I can use for anything..." 

But just as fate brought the Book of Magic into Arle's hands by chance, so it brought from the world of darkness the very monsters she had read about.

And thus, a great battle awaits. With her great magic abilities, and the newfound power of "Owanimo," Arle Nadja sets out to protect the world.

CHARACTERS A・C・P

Arle Nadja The protagonist of the game and the (aspiring) sorceress who released the spell "Owanimo". Nobody knows how she ended up this way, but despite looking like she wouldn't hurt a fly, she's actually a merciless girl that slaughters innocent Puyo. She currently attends a magic school, but she's already too scary for anything to stand in her way. That's my opinion, anyway.

Carbuncle During the game, when you find your eyes moving towards the center of the screen... Awww~! He's sleeping!!! This is Carbuncle. When he's lying still, he almost looks like a loaf of bread, but as he sings and dances he shows off a wide range of movement and facial expressions. A truly profound deuteragonist.

Puyo Puyo Despite their fate as short-lived, jelly-like monsters who are stacked and popped, they have managed to secure a leading role this time around, and even get to dance on the title screen. They're sure to enjoy this special opportunity to perform on a grand stage in five different colors. Looking at them with an empty stomach will reveal their appetizing nature and make you hungry. Hehe.

Arle, the protagonist, is brimming with curiosity.

PRACTICE STAGE ENEMY MONSTERS

Skeleton T While he appears as the epitome of a tea-loving Japanese man, he is a fine monster as well. He will be the first opponent you face during your trials. But you'll find that in a rather endearing way, he's a miserable fool who doesn't even know how to rotate his Puyo. Boohoo. Sipping bitter green tea during battle will instantly make you one of his tea-drinking buddies.

Nasu Grave An eggplant. Specifically, a Kamo eggplant. On top of that, he makes for a rather strange presence. Just what the heck is this thing? Despite appearances, his defensive power is high, so novices might find themselves struggling a bit. You'll have no choice but to keep at it and apply a steady technique. But in the end, your opponent is still just an eggplant. A regular talking eggplant. …Heh.

Mummy Even though it's called Mummy, it isn't a mommy. It's a mummy. What? You already knew that? Oh, deary me, I'll wrap it up then. (←One-man comedy routine.) Mummy is an opponent that makes you want to bully it because the crying face it makes when it's about to lose is just too cute. Sorry, Mummy.

The Goddess of Time whisking the monsters away.

BATTLE STAGES 1-6

Draco Centauros As you might expect from someone who shouts "Rawr", this half-dragon being takes pride in those sharp horns. Appearing as the first obstacle of your quest, this opponent has top tier judgment and piece precision but takes forever to think things through. Because of that, she's a pitiful lass who is only ranked as a third-rate monster girl... You heard me right! Draco is a girl. I'm sure someone around you thought she was a boy...

Suketoudara A pollock who has an aura of coming from some far-off sea. However, he seems to have the character of an Edokko​. He's an athletic-type who tends to err on the side of caution. However, he's also arrogant. When he wins, he makes a face that screams "You're no match for me!", which is truly aggravating. Many say they especially don't want to lose to him.

(TL Note: Literally meaning “Child of Edo”, Edokko is refers to a person born and raised in Edo (renamed Tokyo in 1868). It implies personality traits such as being assertive, straightforward, cheerful, perhaps a bit mercantile.)

Sukiyapodes Let's just get this out of the way; he has a giant foot. It measures about 16 mon. Even though he has a complex about it, he directs that frustration into bettering himself. Well, we're not sure if that last part's true, but he always has a cheerful expression on his face as he slowly and steadily builds precise chains. He's a bit of an unpleasant guy.

(TL Note: mon is a unit of length for measuring the size of one's foot. 1 mon is equivalent to 2.4 cm. His foot is 38.4 cm, or 15.12 in.)

Harpy Now then, it is time for Miss Harpy's song. She loves singing more than she loves having three meals a day. She could sing for ages if no one stopped her. If there was something like a "Puyo Puyo World Karaoke Tournament", she'd win for sure. But unfortunately, this is only Puyo Puyo. 

Sasori Man “How d'ya do, partner? I’m a famous Naniwa salesman known 'round these parts as Sasori Man. Put 'er there! Huh? Yer askin' for my secret to success? I ain't spillin' the beans no matter how much ya beg. That's somethin' to look forward to when we do battle. Till then, happy trails.”

Panotty A flute-playing boy. But honestly, he's nothing more than a noisy, mischievous brat. He disrupts his opponent's chains by dropping large amounts of Nuisance Puyo on them. Everyone has fallen victim to his antics at least once. What a truly ruthless Puyo technique. For when his last flute sounds, the dead shall be raised. Just kidding.

BATTLE STAGES 7-12

Zombie A zombie. All of his lines are stuff like "Ugheeee." This zombie is quite the formidable trickster. Sometimes he will be swiftly defeated, and other times he will take you by surprise and suddenly pull off a huge chain. If you don't take him seriously, you'll find yourself in a tough spot. Battle with caution.

Witch In the forest stands a grand mansion. Living there was a very ordinary family whose lineage can be traced back hundreds of years. The family's only daughter was born and was raised in a very ordinary fashion. But there was one thing that was not so ordinary...That young lady was a haughty witch. Ohohoho! Ohohohoho... *fadeout*

Zou Daimaou Pawoo! The mammoth mogul has arrived! A young aristocrat who comes from an ancient and distinguished line of royal Indian elephants. An irritating fellow who likes bad puns, gives his words an elephantine quality, and casually rhymes. He also enjoys Puyo Puyo. Plus, he's strong. An aphant-garde aristocrat whose ground-shaking chains are as sharp as his tusks.

Schezo A silver-haired man with deep blue eyes. Schezo, the embodiment of picturesque beauty. However, he's been deemed a pervert thanks to Arle, and strives to restore his honor by challenging her. 

B-E-A-U-T-Y! Perfection won't pass you by!  P-R-I-N-C-E! Of the Puyo Puyo World, it's meant to be! Go now! Go forth! Show us what you're really worth! 

...Well, this has turned into something rather silly..

Minotauros Risking life and limb for his duties, a bull who lives by the code of chivalry, leaving a flurry of cherry blossoms in his wake. That is Minotauros. Ever since Rulue rescued him long ago, he has served as her devoted attendant like a faithful dog. Seeing him like this brings some to tears. For Rulue, he'd go through hell and high water. He's giving it his all today, and his one-eyed look is as cool as ever.

Rulue A woman truly worthy of the title of "Fighting Queen". The queen of the Puyo Puyo world. There's nothing that she can't obtain... Oh wait, there is something — Satan's love. Possessing a very jealous nature, Rulue is always lying in wait, ready to obliterate anyone who gets close to Satan. It's rumored that her true strength is even greater than Satan's.

BATTLE STAGE 13

Satan He is the king that rules over heaven and earth. He soars the skies with wings that slice through wind. His two horns point towards the heavens. His sharp eyes are like glistening gems. Cloaked in the veil of night, his devilish hand beckons you in. He is darkness’s cherished protege. It seems playing Puyo Puyo is a guilty pleasure of his. His true strength is unknown. It's said he's won the Puyo Puyo World Championship a countless number of times. In any case, he's obviously a bigshot. Can you truly defeat Satan, who boasts of elite skills in speed and chaining?

Mint's Ship children Masterlist

After many many many months of thinking how to update, remove and add info to my kids without having to make an entire new post of said kid, and also thinking about how to post the rest of the kiddos, I finally got my response in the form of a Toyhouse code my friend Lina was very kind to give to me. I have been wanting to add extra info to Radier's bio and really wanting to modify Blueprint, Neón and Cassis's one that this was a perfect opportunity for me.

You can skip to end if you don't want to read the rest

Two (or three? I think three) years have already passed since I started this adventure in the Undertale fandom with my little Blueprint and lots of things of him have changed since the last time I made a bio of him. It was necessary for me to change them so, I spent this last weeks looking for their original posts, their first pictures and whatnot and getting rid of those things I no longer found that fitted him or the others. Of course, many things could and will change with time, but for now, I think I have given all of them a pretty updated character info.

Along that, I finally decided to post all of the others. Lots of kids I made even before making Glasses and Hela but never got to post for personal reasons. Most of those you're seeing there were made only for roleplaying with my friends, but as the time passes, I decided to add them to my "cast". In Blueprint's comic, some of them will be major characters, while the other will just be support characters of just extras. However, you'll see drawings of all of them, since I tend to draw a random kid from time to time.

So, due to me modifying old info from my kids and adding new ones, I decided to make a folder in Toyhouse with all of them. Each folder contains a kid with their bio, reference sheet and any other additional pictures they might have (such as their human form, their fell form, etc). I made sure to write there all the info you might want to know about them, for those who always asked me for a specific kid's info or reference sheet and I couldn't give it because I didn't have a link to the post. That also means I won't be posting their info here on tumblr (at least not yet) because I would have to post ALL OF THEM, starting from Blueprint.

For those who might be wondering. Don't worry, I didn't change a lot of the old ones

Being able to post this kind of makes me anxious and happy at the same. I have had all of this characters hidden in my pc for years and most of them kinda embarrass me, but I love them all. Even those I made as a joke or as an experiment! I made my research for all of them and even gave them their own likes and hobbies, even if you see that some of them have pretty short bios.

So, from now own, the're finally a part of the family and will be open to asks. I'll also post the very old drawings I have of them in my archives and start to include them in my silly comics. And lots of you who also follow my friend Andrewture will finally meet their kiddos' couples, hehe!

This weird. It feels like I was saying bye to this fandom with this but, not at all, I still love them and have many of stories to tell. I can finally keep my comic and add them to it and finally post their drawings. I really really hope you like them as much as I do!

I'm still thinking if I should post their ref sheets here or not. For now, I don't think I'll, for I can only give you the link whenever you need it!

And, in a final note, some of my old characters (Silver and Cassis) will get a redesign and others will get some modifications to their outfits. I just want to get rid of some details I no longer like of their clothes(?). I'm also thinking of making a new character sheet for Radier to mach his current personality and powers. All of those things will be posted here ;P

Thing My History Prof. Has Said So Far - Zoom Edition

If you’ve been following my blog the past almost-four-ish years, you might remember these posts. This time, it’s Neoliberalism Since 1989, and this time it’s on Zoom.

“Why do I have the power to rename you? That seems...oppressive, man.”

“I see. It’s 8:30 in the morning. I’ve been up...since, like, March 15th.”

“So, we’re doing this super important vote over some Covid thing, and we’ve got Jeopardy music playing in the background...”

“There’s this one guy on Facebook - this anarchist I know in the United States - who asked: ‘Why are you studying neoliberalism? It’s just capitalism.’“

“This is the Marxist class your parents warned you about, I guess.”

“Over the weekend, my dad forwarded me something about it and I was like ‘I think you just called me a Marxist bastard, dad.’“

“I am a professor of the dark side. Here’s a disclaimer at the beginning. Trigger warning: this might depress the hell out of you and make you angry.”

“Can’t believe I can say I miss the smell of the Ryan Building, but I do.”

*He once again told us to go throw Molotovs at banks. On day 1. This man has a Brand*

“So, in the syllabus that I just finished at 3 o’clock in the morning...”

“Now, someone in one of my California classes said ‘Do we just blow up the university and create something new?’ Now, he didn’t mean it like that - well, he did, he was an anarchist...”

“Hey, I treat my lectures like a CD, man. It’s an album.”

“I really applaud you guys for taking this course and not dropping it yet.” [This was week 2]

“I was lecturing in the US and this guy said ‘Oh, well communism looks really good on paper’ and I said ‘Yeah, so does capitalism’ and you could see the wheels turning, and I think his head exploded.”

“I don’t know how to unconnect my phone from my computer. If someone messages me, it’s going to ‘bing’ so I’m sorry.”

“Has anyone watched the lectures, or am I teaching into a void?”

Student: “I’d really like to learn more about Tony Blair and what you think of him. Prof: “You mean personally or historically?”

“What I think we’re seeing for neoliberalism right now is a third wave, which is trying to return to the first wave, but with more guns and riot police.”

“I’m so jealous of Hanna [the TA] because her archives are just over in Fort William. My archives are in Budapest.”

*is late to the Zoom class because he’s getting coffee*

“I was just telling Hanna I’ve been pulling an all-nighter since September 1989 when I started university.”

“I’ve also started working on the guidelines for the culminating assignment which is basically: do whatever you want in 4-5 pages or equivalent.”

“I’m just trying to fit everything into the day. Which is sometimes 4 o’clock in the morning.”

“I’m not a boomer, I was born in 1969, and the boomer generation ended in ‘65!”

“So, the Unit 1 response is due today right? Today’s October 1st? Aw, damn.”

*coming up with ideas for an interpretive dance exploring the subject of neoliberalism*

“I’m sure a third of you will refer to the book as a novel. If you do, I will find you.”

“I’m not asking you to hand in a colour-coded essay though, but someone in the last tutorial asked ‘can they’?”

“There’s a method to my madness. Happy face.”

TA: “Here he is!” Prof: “Here I is!”

*chair squeaks* “Hehe. Sounds like someone has a rubber ducky.”

“Every now and then, point to the reading. Think of it as ‘I’ll show that son of a bitch that I did the reading.’”

“I have office hours today between 2 and 3. At least I think I do? Yes, I do.”

“People who aren’t from Thunder Bay are like ‘Why am I even in tutorial right now? Steve’s just reliving the good ol’ days when he could buy books from the communists.’“

The name's Bond...Ionic Bond. 

Okay that was the first to many attempts of Justin trying to cope up with himself hah anyway hi my name is d and i’m honestly so excited for this rp (a wooping 30+ apps opening, solid af). So Justin is basically a rich-and-maybe-slightly-problematic version of Jimmy Neutron. Of course, a tldr of him is under the cut. You can reach me always on twitter @eskiimochild and rarely on discord d.#3028 hehe. Well that’s p much all atm, I look forward to interacting with everyone ♡ lava love for camphaven

huang minghao but everyone calls him justin (not justin bieber, not justin timberlake, just justin) 

smarty pants-- literally. quote and unquote, possesses intelligence far surpassing that of the brightest and most gifted human and mutant minds combined

his brain is really complex. a simple action equates into infinite probabilities in his mind. see this for reference 

can also pull off the whole mental acrobats professor x does in xmen (but like a...starter pokemon, justin hasn’t quite developed this part yet) 

he is the epitome of crazy rich asian, will walk into class four hours late with starbucks...for the whole class

loves mysteries all too much that his life is gradually turning into a mystery 

meaning he makes everything a game, leaves codes, sends ciphers, builds hidden rooms-- ‘innovate and discriminate’ as he calls it 

his personality was loosely based on peter parker aka spider man *in uwu voice* hey mr. stark can I come along

is actually chill, vibing life one nerve fiber at a time

The Masked Singer Season 6 Episode 8: Group A Semifinals, 2 stay and 2 go (Commentary & Guesses)

Hello everybody and welcome to Ana's Masked Singer recap, where I, Ana, recap every single episode of this show called The Masked Singer. This week we heard the top 4 Group A contestants perform and we had a double elimination so only 2 people went through to the finals.

Our Group A semifinalists were: Skunk 🦨, Bull 🐂, Pepper 🌶, and Jester 🃏.

Let's start off with the double elimination…

The 1st eliminated contestant was:

*Drumroll Please*

Jester 🃏

Performance: he sang I'm a man of constant sorrow and let's just say I'm not surprised one bit that he got eliminated and didn't get into the finals. He was my least favorite performance of the night and the weakest vocal of the entire group. This performance I really disliked more than the first one, because it was just not as good for his voice as his 1st performance coming out as a wildcard was.

He was revealed to be as I suspected:

John Lydon (aka Johnny Rotten)

Well, yeah, I expected it honestly. Yay, another one I got correct! That is 8.5/9 correct thus far, which is a personal best for me, I'm really happy about this. A lot of people thought it was Jack Black and I really wanted it to be, because I've wanted him on the show for forever, but there's always next season.

Anyways, having said all of that, the 2nd eliminated contestant was...

*DRUMROLL PLEASE*

Pepper 🌶

Performance: she sang sign of the times by Harry Styles and honestly I feel like it was her weakest performance. Like I saw who got eliminated before I was able to sit down and watch the show since I wasn't able to watch on Wednesday so I was like huh why did she go home, I really liked her?! Then, I saw the performances and did a little compare and contrast action and was like yeah makes total sense, not super surprising. Honestly, this season is full of really good people but the best ones are like fantastic at picking songs which is why they go through, I honestly feel like Bull and skunk were better in that realm because they chose songs that really went with their voices, and not just to tell a specific story like Pepper did (which I totally respect and applaud but sometimes it fell flat)

Anyways, having said that, she was revealed to be as I guessed too many times to count hehe…

Natasha Bedingfield (Ms I got a pocket full of sunshine/unwritten herself)

Was this planned?! Because the 2 Brits who were on the show went home the exact same episode like what are the odds of that?! Anyways, yeah I love her so I was really excited to see her under that mask, she is one of those childhood artists for me, like Jesse McCartney (who is now married like what), Jojo, Jordin Sparks, etc. Also, I'm super happy I got her right, woohoo 2 for 2! 9.5/10 correct so far this season! A personal best for me, this is exciting! Anyways, yup sad to see her go, but really happy to see her face. Oh yeah and Ken pressed the take it off buzzer on her and got her wrong, thinking it's Sara Bareilles, but Nicole did get her right with her 1st impression guess, so she's tied with Ken 1 point each for the Golden Ear trophy.

Anyways, let's talk about our 2 Group A finalists shall we?

1. Skunk 🦨 is Faith Evans I’m sure of it

Performance: she sang At Last by Etta James and wow this one of her strongest performances ever so it completely makes sense why she went through over Pepper. It was as I mentioned before the perfect song for her vocal range and she hit the notes amazingly like it was amazing! Not my favorite performance (yes, Bull did top it) but it was finale worthy for sure (of the group let’s not get too ahead of ourselves there)

Reasoning: I mean idk what else to do to convince you guys, but here I'll put all the clues from my past blogs that got me so sure it's Faith:

Pride got her from saying hi to a loved one and it was the last time she ever saw them= she was talking about her then husband Notorious BIG (Biggie) who passed away in 1997

Time machine clue: pager with 607 code= that means I Miss You, referring to her song about Biggie that she sang with P Diddy, I’ll Be Missing You

Blew a kiss to Pufferfish= collaborated with Puff Daddy in 1998 on the song I’ll Be Missing You which won her first Grammy as a tribute to her late husband The Notorious BIG

Had to cut people off that were closest to her= admitted it in her best selling memoir Keep the Faith

Party Favor was a boom box= her prime as a singer was in the 90s where boom boxes were the main way to listen to music before the Walkman and iPod

Got a full ride scholarship and had to leave due to unexpected circumstances= Faith left Fordham University to have a baby

Forced to take a different path= ended up singing backup in LA and moving there which in turn got her recognized by P Diddy

The vase with a D on it= she was on R&B Divas

She was on a train to Seoul, South Korea= Soul Train! = she was honored with a lifetime achievement award in 2018 by Soul Train

Duality/yin and yang of the Skunk= she has a song that references Ying Yang in the lyrics called Goin’ Out

Her connection to Elvis= she devoted a song to her late husband Biggie called “The King & I” and Elvis is the king of rock and roll

2. The Bull 🐂 is 1000% Todrick Hall

Performance: he sang Rain on Me by Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande and this was such a Todrick performance! If you know him at all, you would agree with me, like what I said about his performance of Britney Spears’s Circus, because he does all that stuff, the split, the kicking, all of it. However, I feel like on this show, he sounds 10x better than normal. Dude he hit a whistle tone and I was like omg wow I have never heard Todrick do a whistle town (granted, I only hear him on the YouTubes and not really on Broadway so maybe he does that frequently idk) and he freaking nailed it! The fact he was nervous blows my mind, he was my favorite hands down (but are you really surprised by that?! I feel like I say that every single Group A episode, y’all understand)

Reasoning: it's to the point that the voice modulation doesn’t work for me and I’m like yeah dude that’s Todrick… like I feel the judges should at least guess someone gay and/or black because he’s exposing himself at this point… anyway allow me to convince you with all these clues:

Grew up in a small town filled with cows= yes sir, he grew up in Plainview, Texas which is a small farming town with less than 25,000 people living there (and I am sure when he lived there it was smaller than that) and filled with cows which at first I thought was a metaphor but looking into it I find out Plainview has the largest beef processing plant in the country… hence cows lol

Heard no again and again and again= reference to how he was on American Idol and then lost the show

Didn’t give up, became his own boss= that American Idol loss got him to start YouTube hence being his own boss

Hollywood and Forbes took notice= he has appeared in the 30 under 30 successful people list by Forbes in 2014

Astronaut aka Hunter Hayes= he covered Invisible by Hunter Hayes on his YouTube channel (which is my absolute favorite Hunter Hayes song so you go Todrick… but that video was actually recently sent to private so you kinda can’t see it… also that was a bit sus)

Marched to the beat of his own drum in high school= he was openly gay in high school which was probably a bit rare in Texas

Disney concert hall= 2 things: before Idol, Todrick actually worked as a cast member at Disney World in Hollywood Studios and one of his most viral videos on his YouTube channel (and one of the ways I discovered him online) was called Evolution of Disney, which currently has 13 million views.

Carnegie Hall= his last name is Hall

Cheerleaders in his locker clue= he actually really was a cheerleader in high school

Photo of Hall and Oates= another reference to his last name, Hall

Left his steady job and moved into an apartment filled with roaches to chase his dream= not really a steady job but he did leave his job of performing in theme parks and on cruises for LA where he started his YouTube channel, auditioned for American Idol, and auditioned for parts in Broadway productions

Time Machine Clue: old school Mac computer (the sound lives rent free in his head, most annoying sound ever)= the sound is Dial-up internet but this could refer to him being a YouTuber and that’s how he got famous but also the rent thing is because he has a song called Rent

Scrubs= he has a song called Mask, Gloves, Soap, Scrubs where he parodied his own song at the start of the pandemic

Anyways, that's it! See you guys hopefully this weekend for the Group B semifinals! Bye! Don't forget to like, comment, and follow for more! Also follow me on Twitter (same username as this one photolover82) for live tweeting about the show. Bye guys and thanks for reading! 👋🏼

In male gay culture, a bear refers to a man who is often large and hairy, and displays the characteristics of rugged masculinity. Interestingly, bear culture can be further divided into more specific subcultures, including "leather-bears" (those intersecting with the leather fetish community) and "muscle-bears" (those with muscular body mass). Younger bears are often referred to as "cubs" 🐻, while hairy slimmer men are "otters" 🦦. Hairy medium-sized men are "wolves"🐺, and large hairless men as "manatees/seals". Why go to a zoo when you can head to your local gay club? (hehe) The colours of the Bear pride flag represent inclusion with all the different colours of bear fur: dark brown, rust, yellow, tan, white, grey, and black. . 📌 Enamel pins by The Pin Prick 🛍 www.pinprick.shop 📷 IG: @pinprick.shop [-10% code in bio!] 🌎 FREE international shipping! 🏳️‍🌈 Stay proud!

Hiveswap Episode 1 Reaction Part 4: Talking to Jude + Exploring the hallway!

Alright, day 4 of playing Hiveswap Episode 1! Time to make some progress today. First off we're gonna put the batteries in the walkie talkie, and see what happens from there! Starting at 6:35 PM.

Batteries && Walkie talkie ==> Ahahaha, yup, this is our first puzzle out of many. And it only took us, like, 6-7 hours of gameplay to get to it! :mspa: Let's see what happens when we try to use the powered walkie talkie now! I think it would be funny if Jude doesn't have his walkie talkie yet or something and it turns out nobody responds when Joey talks through it now, causing us to cut to Jude and his quest to find the walkie talkie on his side. :P Also, I wonder if we can drag any of our other items on the walkie talkie now, to still get some funny/insightful reactions about it (or maybe that will turn out to be a function later, to be capable of asking Jude about stuff?) ...Nope, can't drag other items on it anymore! Alright then, let's put the batteries in! ... Yesssss, Joey/Jude dialogue! Wow, plainWonder's got a good point! It looks like Joey's typing colour is blueish while Jude's is greenish, so they're using the colours of the shirt symbol of the OTHER person! Just like John and Jade!!!!!! Oh man that is awesome. Also... oh dear god Jude. HIS DIALOGUE IS AMAZING. First of all, I'm surprised by his quirk! Looks like he likes talking in upper caps! That's pretty unexpected. I love how his "over" is in lower caps, making it hilariously sound like he's yelling everything through the walkie talkie but then says "over" quietly. xD And yeah, his way of speaking does indeed sound a lot like someone from the army, hahaha. And while sounding so serious and formal in some parts, he also has a way of being incredibly silly ("WAIT unover", "REPORT BITE STATUS"). Hehehe, that reference to not understanding morse code. I love how people not understanding it continues to be a thing in the Homestuck universe. Oooooh, and here we already have a choice on what to answer Jude!!! I didn't expect that to happen so soon. So, we can either give a serious answer ("i'm fine") or a more funny one ("not great"). I wonder if that will impact anything. Let's go with "i'm fine". Oh okay, apparently Joey heard the monster go downstairs! So that means it's probably not that dangerous anymore for her to exit her room (well, unless it comes back of course :p). Also, I just want to say I love the adorable animation of Joey talking into the walkie talkie. And plainWonder's got a good point: they did a really nice and accurate job with having the Joey speechbubbles coming from the lower part of the walkie talkie and the Jude speechbubbles coming from the upper part! Yup, it's safer for Jude to stay in the tree house for now. Oh dear god, he's already starting with the conspiracy theories right there. xD Though... I'm not sure if he's wrong! We have no idea where the monsters are coming from, maybe someone with an agenda (Condesce???) IS sending them to their house. And either this person WANTS Joey to go to Alternia for some reason, or they're there for some other reason. "Antares-class conspiracy"... what? No seriously, what? :mspa: I imagine none of the options here makes a difference whatsoever, hahaha. "GLAD YOU ARE TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY" Umm, all Joey said was "what. over." xD Heh, Jude asking Joey if she's less sceptic now that monsters are appearing reminds me of Jane's scepticism! I mean, it was also seeing the Condesce flying overhead that finally made her believe her friends too, despite Roxy trying so hard to convince her. Oh wow, Jude's suggesting Joey to abscond to the attic! That's surprising. I didn't think they'd come up with going to the attic so soon already! Though it actually makes a lot of sense, the attic should be the highest part of the house and should be the safest place to hide from the monsters, so that's some good thinking of Jude. Also, I just want to say that I appreciate that "absconding" is also a thing in Hiveswap and not just in Homestuck. :D Oooh, so it has a strong door and some tactical materiel. Makes sense! Maybe Jude had already prepared the attic as a hiding place for emergency scenarios? I mean, you've got doomsday preppers in real life doing exactly that with their basement, so I wouldn't be surprised if Jude did the same with the attic. plainWonder's got a good point that it might also have a lot of stuff of Grandpa that Joey could use! I mean, he IS the guy that also prepared Jade to ridiculous lengths, so he might have done the same with his other children. :P I love how Jude goes on to explain how to get to the attic. It's pretty ridiculous from Joey's perspective but helpful from ours, haha. I wonder if it's really that easy to get to the attic? Like, do you not need to explore the rest of the house to get to Alternia? In any case, turning left outside the bedroom and exploring the house is exactly what we are going to do. :P N'awww, poor Jude. I like that this shows how much he actually cares about Joey and just wants her to be safe. OH SHIT. Here we can make Joey suggest to Jude to either call the cops, OR call the babysitter! Both are some really clever suggestions. Obviously calling the police would be the smartest suggestion here, but knowing Jude he probably wouldn't trust the cops. Plus, the cops might not believe Jude anyway, they could think it's just some crazy fantasy of a young kid. So, calling the babysitter would probably be the option Jude's most comfortable with, and would also be the COOLEST from our perspective (I mean come on, we all want to see some Mom dialogue and/or action here, don't we?). I mean, I find it highly likely that Mom won't (be able to) come over for one reason or another, but that still doesn't stop me from wanting to try. :mspa: Let's try that suggestion! (Also, does Jude even have a phone up there? If he doesn't, I wouldn't be surprised if the only phone is somewhere in the house and the monsters have already bitten through the telephone cables by now, preventing Joey/Jude from being capable of calling anyone) WELP, Mom's having a long day at work in the lab!!! Confirmation that she's already working for Skaianet?? If so, she's probably already working at the same Skaianet lab that we know from Homestuck! I mean, considering the suggestions that Mom grew up there, it seems highly likely that this is also the lab were she started working first! I should also address that this is probably our first ever official confirmation that Mom works at a lab (probably Skaianet)? I mean, the writing was literally on the wall what with her lab coat dress and her child room in the Skaianet lab, plus Roxy's interest in science, but still! Now it's been spoken! Booyeah! "JOEY: oh no, you're right... JUDE: AGREED ON BOTH COUNTS." Pfff, oh Jude. xD "JUDE: BABYSITTER CAPABLE STRIFER, COULD HELP TIP SCALES" Ooooooh, so Mom was already a capable fighter at such a young age! That's interesting. And it's also interesting that Jude knows about that! Perhaps she practiced some kind of fighting sport and talked about that to Jude and Joey sometime? I mean, I find it highly likely that she practiced some kind of fighting sport, considering her hand-to-hand combat skills in [S] Jack: Ascend! Also, I like how the word Strife(r) has now also been spoken! Hell yes. "JUDE: DO YOU HAVE YOUR WEAPON over" Oh man, what is her weapon? The tap shoes? The ballet shoes? The iconic flashlight (which we haven't seen yet)? Something else entirely? I wonder if Joey even HAS any weapon or fighting skills. "JOEY: what weapon? you mean my OLD weapon? what for?" Errrr, OLD weapon? I wonder what she means by that! "JOEY: you want me to fight them? with my flashlight?" BOOYEAH, confirmation! But uh... in what way does a flashlight serve as a weapon? I mean... it wouldn't even help to blind the monsters, CONSIDERING THEY DON'T HAVE ANY EYES. :mspa: "JUDE: MUST BE BRAVE" "I believe in you" incoming? YUP. YOUR BROTHER BELIEVES IN YOU. Oh hell frickin YES. I love that Jude has taken the same habit as Jake/Grandpa, hahaha. "JUDE: DO YOU RECALL WHERE WEAPON IS over?" Pffffff, we can't even answer anything but "yeah", hahahahaha. Well, WE don't know where it is, goddangit. xD Looks like we'll have to find it for ourselves. "JUDE: yeah, it's in the closet." Oh!!!! Wait... the closet with the Simon Says game? Well, we did only see a small part of it, so maybe the flashlight is a bit more to the left? Or is it in the wardrobe? "JOEY: no, it's in the hall closet." WELP, NONE OF THE ABOVE! Well, at least she was planning on leaving the room anyway. I wonder if the hall closet is close to her room or if we have to walk a bit before we reach it? Alright, the conversation is over! And N'AWWWW, her entire idle animation has changed! She no longer looks so scared and frightened, now she looks pretty relieved, now that she knows Jude's okay! D'awww. I was wondering if perhaps the narration would say something differently now if we tried looking outside the window at the tree hut again, and it did! Yeah, it's better for Jude if he stays up there, where he's safe for now. Ahahaha, I was also wondering if we could use the walkie talkie again to talk some more to Jude, and we could! Joey says she intends to write in her diary! Will we really be "forced" to do that before we leave the room, or if it's still optional? And will he say the same thing if we try to reach him again now... Yup, he did. Let's see what happens if we try to leave the room... Okay, looks like we'll have to write in the diary! But pffffff, amazing reference to Alternia's green moon right there. Ooooooh, after we write in the diary we get a new exclamation mark at the walkie talkie! Hehe, looks like we'll get some new dialogue... Ahahahahaha, that's the most hilarious dialogue so far. I love how they are indeed not actually "hanging up here", unlike what usually happens in Homestuck with the pesterlogs and all where they stop pestering, hehe. Also, apparently Jude can already see Joey! So either he doesn't need binocles or he's already got them. ...Now that I think about it, the fact that he's capable of seeing Joey in her room kind of reminds me of how in Sburb the server players could also see the client players in their room/houses, haha! Oh man, I was curious what would happen if we'd try clicking on the walkie talkie again, but apparently that does nothing now! So we can't receive any silly Jude-Joey dialogues whenever we like, unless it's triggered by something. :P There we are!!!! Now we're FINALLY OUTSIDE JOEY'S ROOM! :D And looks like the music has changed. That's a REALLY cool song there. Pretty catchy and mysterious-sounding! But wow... that's a preposterous amount of stuff in this hallway. 0_0 At least we don't have like 5 possible combinations of items on everything here anymore, we've only got the Cherub Key and the tap shoes, haha. So, that hallway in the background is probably the direction we'd need to go to go to the attic! So, that's exactly what we WON'T do, for now. I find it interesting that there are also some golden serpent (I mean snake) statues over there, in the background. Those skulls hanging on the wall are also really interesting. They remind me a bit of the Mother Grub skull (like the Skull Fountain). Hmm, over there in the background is a crutch! I wonder who that belonged to, it seems a bit too big to be of Joey or Jude. One of Grandpa or Ms. Claire? That hat in the box reminded me a bit of Grandpa's hat, but plainWonder's probably right that it's a Conquistadore hat. Oh dear god no.... that painting right above the couch... IT HAS A FRICKIN COD PIECE. D: MOVIN' ON. Well, now that we're at that couch, looks like there's some toy rifle on it. What with how red it is, it reminds me of Roxy's Betty Crocker rifle! Pfff, I like how they're using that statue as some sort of coat rack. Also, I see a pack of Pringles there, but it doesn't look like the name on it is Pringles. Probably another cheap rip-off. xD I just also noticed those those 6 paper figures on Joey's door! The two on the right pretty clearly seem like Grandpa and Mom to me, but who are those other 4? Joey and Jude are two of them probably? And are the other 2... Ms. Claire and the mother of Jude? :O Oh man I hope we can examine these little figures in more detail. And of course I've been saving the best/weirdest for last... what the fuck is the deal with that Sufferer doll am I right? 0_0 Again, the only logical explanation is that The Condesce is probably responsible for that, seeing as she should be the only person who visited B1 Earth that should have knowledge about him. It's kinda weird that she did this then, considering how she tried to wipe references to him in any textbooks, but I guess she probably just couldn't resist the urge to make fun of him. :P Yesssssss, WE CAN EXAMINE THE DOOR FROM UP CLOSE! ...Oh. Okay, so it was Tesseract instead of Jude's mother, hahaha! Also, Tesseract was actually the figure I thought was Grandpa from afar. xD Oh yeah, what I noticed earlier but hadn't written anything about yet is how Mom also has the cat symbol on her shirt! So it's not just Roxy who wore it on her shirt, she did as well! That's interesting to know. I wonder if Nanna, Grandpa and Bro ever wore a shirt like the ones Jane, Jake and Dirk wear in B2? Niiiiiiiiice, look at all those pictures! First of all, some pictures taken by Joey, Jude and Mom at a photo booth, it seems! Pffff, first Joey and Jude took a normal picture, then Joey kicked Jude out and Mom came in to go on the picture with both of them. That's adorable. It took us a while to figure out what that picture on the left was supposed to be, but plainWonder's right, it's probably the legs and feet of Mom, Joey and Jude! Looks like the 3 of them were relaxing somewhere, n'awww. :) And if we look really closely, Tesseract seems to be lying on his back in the background! D'awwww. Good dog, best friend (pretty funny, considering how Mom is more of a cat person than a dog person, hehe) Hehe, I love how Tesseract seems happy to see that cat. xD I took a closer look at that picture for a second, because I wanted to make sure the cat had only 2 eyes instead of 4. I mean, it's implied that Mutie survived the fall in B1 and gave birth to Jaspers! Which makes me wonder... could this be offspring of Mutie that would eventually give birth to Jaspers, meaning there was a link in between the two? Or perhaps this cat is Jasper's mother, who even knows. :P Now I'm really curious if we're going to see a picture at some point of Mom together with a black cat on it! Alright, enough examining the door, moving on! Let's listen to what Joey and Jude have to say to each other. Pfffffff, Jude just can't shut up can he? I love how he's using some of the same corny words like Jake does, with "hoo boy" and "landing in a pickle", haha. Also, I just realized it's kind of like how Jake can't stop talking about himself, hahaha. Ahahahaha, I was wondering what that golden globe-like structure with the arrow through it was. Looks like it points to where the ceiling is, now that's really useful. :mspa: Another cute animation as Joey spins the globe, d'aww. Looking at the horse picture now. Pffffff, do Joey and Jude deface all paintings to have an argument? xD Tap shoes && Golden globe ==> Pffff, yes Joey, that's obviously what it is. :mspa: I'm pretty curious what the deal is with that chest... I bet we'll probably have to find the key for that somewhere? ...Aaaaah, okay it's her mother's jewelry box! Makes sense. And okay, it really is just Pringles, not a fancy rip-off name. xD But Joey, that can doesn't really look all that empty to me. :P Cherub Key && Jewelry chest ==> Oh wow! Other than some more expected information about how Joey find the key there, apparently doing this also opens up the chest! I definitely didn't expect that. Let's see what's inside! ....Okay, that doesn't work. Nevermind. :mspa: Oh man... now the Sufferer doll. Do I want to know what happens when we examine it? ...OH. OOOOOOOOOOOH. OH YOU BRILLIANT BASTARDS. Jude shot it with a dart just like Darkleer shot The Sufferer with an arrow, goddammit. >.< Cherub Key && Sufferer doll ==> Believe me Joey, I think the Sufferer wants to get out of those chains more than you think. xD Ahahaha, so Joey and Jude had a dart gun war there. So that's why there are all these darts in this corner! And why the Sufferer got struck by one. Tap shoes && Statue ==> Pfffff, what crueler way to kill a ballerina than tap-dancing her to death? This is perfect. Gulp... time to examine the painting of the woman with the Cod Piece. ...Ahahaha, so she was naked and Joey "made it better"... by drawing a cod piece on it. xD And now the rifle on the couch. Oh, so it's a water gun! ...Too bad she doesn't use guns indeed, because dang a water gun could have come in handy against those monsters! I mean come on, it would at least be better than using a flashlight against eyeless creatures. xD Tap shoes && Water Gun ==> Pffff, why does that mention of plush immediately make me think of Smuppets. GODDAMN IT BRO. :mspa: And dear god what is that brown hairy doll to the left of the couch... Well, we can't examine it for now, maybe if we look at the hallway from a different perspective? Possibly if we click at the bottom of the screen here, for the end of the hallway? ...Which seems like the most logical next step to do seeing as we've examined everything in this part of the hallway now! On the other hand, plainWonder has a fair point that we can probably safely try going to the attic for now. That shouldn't really trigger anything yet, seeing as we haven't retrieved our flashlight yet. So that's what we'll do next! And by next I mean tomorrow, 'cause we're calling it a day here. It's already 8:50 PM, god the time went by quickly.
