Was thinking about your au and realized that whichever neighbour wakes up last is in for a very awkward reunion

Imagine waking up to your entire neighbourhood being in an apocalyptic scenario, and you’re the last to find out about it-

technically the last neighbor is Sally BUT Julie is the last "normal-sleeping" neighbor to wake and yeah! she sure has a hell of a time! i mean tbh it's kinda her And Barnaby? they wake up within a week of each other (the neighbors wake via Pacific Rim kaiju rules) so their breakdowns overlap <3

#julie wakes up just in time for the situation to Start Deteriorating At A Rapid Pace #like 'welcome back julie! frank is very close to dying the neighborhood is quite literally beginning to crumble' #'tensions are very high and everyone is starting to lose it <3 also your memories and siblings and life and world was a lie <3 good luck!' #she and barnaby have it the worst smh #well. kinda the worst #cause sally wakes up to an (arguably) Even Worse Scenario and also tons of guilt etc etc #sally: oh so its my fault my friends are injured and/or dying/dead. cool. im going to cope with this so gracefully (lie) #(side note: the death(s) are Not her fault. they were going to happen no matter what) #(well. i say no matter what. they'd have been prevented if the lights had been turned back on but we all know that wasnt really an option) #rambles from the bog #wh lights out au #and julie does not really get time to adjust... #shit is already going down #but only a week or so after she wakes up Shit. Goes. Down. #the transition into act two occurs and thats a whooooole enchilada in of itself #and trust me a week is Not enough to adjust! #especially when frank passes out halfway through and then never wakes back up smhhhhh #julie: at least i have frank! right frank? frank? frank- #julie: .... #julie: at least i have eddie! and wally! #julie: wh- whats that? mhm. mhm. oh. really? oh... #julie: at least i have eddie!

DOCTOBER '23 ⸺ 「 19 / 31 * MEMORY 」

February 8, 1986

❝I just—I feel like I'm going crazy, Doc,❞ Marty says, dragging a hand roughly through his hair. He's hunched forward on the couch and Emmett has the sneaking suspicion that if he could shrink further into himself and disappear, he would try just that. Einstein, possibly sensing Marty's distress, abandons his spot beside Emmett to settle on the couch and lean his weight into Marty's leg.

❝I mean...I mean, how fucked up is it to feel like I hate it here even though everything's better now? Mom and Dad are actually happy and are spending time with each other, Dave and Linda are—hell, I barely recognise them—and the house and—❞

Emmett's gaze drops to Marty's anxiously bouncing knee as he works through his next words, nearly choking on the weight of them. He reaches out a firm, steady hand and places it atop Marty's bouncing knee to still the movements and, with some luck, project some much needed calm into the boy.

Last month's conversation with George McFly rings loudly in his ears—we're worried about our son, Doctor Brown—and the more Marty reveals, wittingly or unwittingly, the more difficult the lie Emmett will have to weave when George inevitably asks what he's learned.

❝God, Doc, last night at dinner they brought up our family vacation—the one we apparently took early last year when the publishing company offered Dad a contract for A Match Made In Space—and I can't keep smiling like I know what's going on when I don't have a clue! Then they keep asking and their tone of voice they sound so concerned, I...❞

He wishes he had something more concrete to tell him. While he understands feeling like a stranger in your own home and among your peers, he has never had the experience of actually being one, so wholly and completely removed from everything you once knew.

There's no hard and fast rule for how these things work. No published works he can read from other time travellers to glean their experiences and compare those to theirs, no sophisticated database even in the future—nothing.

It is all trial and error and Marty, unfortunately, with his unique experience of being the world's first time-traveller and having actively altered his previously existing timeline, is suffering effects of his unintended temporal excursion he never would have dreamed of.

This is not something they will be able to solve in a single night, but it is a much-needed start.

❝If you didn't answer the phone last night I don't know what I would've done. I just—I couldn't take being there anymore. It's stupid, I know, but when I called you and I said our code word and you didn't get it at first I thought—I thought you forgot. That that was something else that apparently just didn't happen because, I don't know, we weren't friends like that or something.❞

There's so much more to the story Marty doesn't say, that Emmett can infer from his body language, but he doesn't push for details for fear of sending him over an already unstable precipice. He is a pipe ready to burst despite how he tries to hold himself together, and Emmett has to consider the ensuing damage.

❝Marty,❞ Emmett says as he leans forward, his forehead creasing with unmasked concern. He removes his hand from Marty's knee to place them both on his shoulders and squeeze, offering a firm, grounding touch. Marty's head drops and beneath his clothing, Emmett can feel his shoulders start to shake.

❝Even if I didn't work out the discrepancy between the codewords, I wouldn't have just left you there if you were calling me for help. That I could ever forget you—it's simply unthinkable! Impossible, even.❞

You are my best friend across the entire space-time continuum.

Marty sniffs and nods. ❝I know, I said it was stupid, but... I don't want to keep being surprised with all these things that happened that I don't remember. Doc, what is the codeword that you remembered?❞

Emmett hums and pulls his hands back. ❝In order to avoid confusion, I suggested we invoke the name of my faithful old companion Copernicus as our code for whenever you covertly needed my assistance. As you would eventually meet him, it seemed fitting.❞

❝See, that's not how I remember it. We came up with the idea in '83. You told me to say something about Einstein.❞

He nods slowly. There was still a discrepancy there, however the ones between the two timelines in this case were extremely minor. Not significant enough for him to have been unable to piece together the underlying message.

❝What were the events that happened as you remember them, Marty? The way I remember it, you were peer pressured into joining that Needles character on some illegal escapade; likely something that would land you into a world of trouble if you were caught. When you refused to take part, you ran off and called me, hoping to keep it secret from your parents.❞

Marty purses his lips as he calls up the memory in question. ❝No, that's—Needles was there, yeah, but it was at a party at Emily Rockwell's place. Her parents were away for the weekend and Needles and his gang wouldn't leave me alone. Then there was a whole bunch of other stuff and—Mom was already drunk by then, Dave was working the late-night shifts at Burger King, and I didn't want Dad or Linda to know.❞

Emmett has half a mind to remind him he doesn't need to justify his reasons for ever seeking out his help, but he bites his tongue.

Instead, he tries to sift through his own memories, looking for a curtain or a doorway to a previously undiscovered mental pathway that would put them back on the same page.

He knows his own memories are changing—adapting. When he thinks back to George McFly seated on his couch, he recalls two different figures, one a pitiful spectre diametrically opposed to the straight-backed, confident man he has known throughout the years.

There are nights he sees through a dense fog—nights where Marty desperately tried anything he could to avoid going back home to his family, offering excuse after excuse to stay until he finally gave in and agreed to let him stay the night under the condition that he inform his family so they didn't assume the worst.

The process has been incredibly slow-going, but if he slowly received memories from a parallel life he once lived, the same must happen for Marty in time. If there was some kind of time-frame he could give him to ease the process, he would.

❝Tell me it's not gonna be like this forever, Doc. That I'm not going to be stuck like this when my family is waiting for—their Marty to remember all the good things they had. What if he never does? If I never do? Is everything I know just a lie?❞

#doctober 2023 #&; a great idea can change the world 「 hc 」 #i'm still fucking sick and it's making writing so hard but i am determined. #i have many thoughts about disjointed memories and the timeline trying to correct/preserve itself #marty has the worst of it by far but doc - likely because he died in the other timeline - also receives memories of that life that no #longer is #and marty slowly receives memories of this timeline to help slot him in better; he doesn't lose the old ones but it eventually becomes #he has to sift through two sets the old and the new #and it's something they just have to work through for themselves #i also hc that marty believes he 'killed' the marty of this timeline and doc's like well wait hold up #there's no OTHER marty there's one marty across the timeline and you are him even if you don't remember / realise it #also doc would never discount marty's memories even if they don't line up with what he remembers #what he experienced is all VERY real - even if the originating timeline no longer exists #the same way 1985A was real though it no longer exists #THIS GOT LONG AGAIN FUCK.

I hadn't read the ztd prologue in a while but I'm midway through writing my fic that could benefit from that knowledge so I finally got around to it with some of my friends and I firstly did not recall Sigma losing his cool that quickly but also the only canonical interaction this Sigma has with this Akane being "Swear future you will not lie to past me about how the end of the world goes down" and her essentially lying about not lying is so good and Phi being just as mad at him as Akane but otherwise staying off to the side oough the dynamics at play there

#because! I was fact checking on the wiki and it indicated that they were simply inconsistent with this information #as in she never gives the details away despite her own memories having left D-COM intact #but I did already think she probably just decided to lie by omission about the decision game #but this really did make it feel like that was the intention all along! #so yeah I'm glad about figuring that out logistically speaking it was bothering me while writing to not be sure #she was about to cry from how Sigma was talking to her too... that one fanart I made of her with big weepy eyes....... #stop bullying the criminal mastermind she was born in a wet cardboard box all alone #it works for the angle I'm coming from writing her though that she's feeling the pressure of not knowing everything™ #and suddenly having to prevent a whole apocalypse after she just started to have a life again™ #Sigma this girl is the best liar of the series do you really expect her to not take the chance if she has to like it isn't second nature #underrated dynamic they're the worst coworkers and no one actually respects one another #they're so funny to me they're sooo at odds while working towards the same goal but no one really got a choice to #and in the end the real time loop was the friends we made along the way and the world really only ended because she got them to prevent it #''oh but there's also the fanatic-'' shhh.... #zero escape #ztd #zero escape spoilers #vlr spoilers #sigma klim #akane kurashiki #not art #writing

help I once again remembered we are getting animated mighty nein and can't stop thinking of the possibility that we might get to at least have Mollymauk stay alive for a bit longer--

#molly my stars and moon #molly my mauk #even if its just by a bit like i would be over the moon if we got to see more of him #it really did feel like it came out of nowhere watching early c2 live and it was the worst bad luck i could never get over and-- #i just #want to see more of the circus man and get the chance to really explore his relationships with the rest of the party and all his past-- #all the story beats and background taliesin never got around to in the game #just #please let us see a bit of what could have been and all the cool things taliesin wanted to do with him-- #also thinking of this in light of tal saying his favorite thing about animated vm is how they've changed things and surprised fans-- 👀 #also molly brings them all together for the circus and its his bond with all of them that ties the whole story together #in the very end?? #he's the catalyst. hes the ghost haunting the whole narrative. he's the final villain. he's all the party wants in return for #saving a world that will never thank them-- #i want to see molly circus flashbacks and molly bonding with yasha and dreaming of the moonweaver and lucien-- #i would do anything for a followup conversation to the forehead kiss or more of yasha and the party comforting molly after the lucien #reveal or molly panicking when he uses another new power of lucien's or something triggers a bad memory--

all my old fav youtubers coming back this fall has gotten me into a mood where I've been diving back into old bands I used to listen to religiously. and i gotta say ... they all still slap

#[static] #not that i ever stopped listening to them much but ive been playing the entire album instead of just listening to favorites #so many memories tied to certain albums fkjghdf #i dont miss being a teen/in my early 20s at all life was so much harder and confusing and it was the height of my worst mental health years #but the world did feel simpler #the punk and emo scene fucked HARD in the early 2000s and 2010s #i hope we see a revival (and i feel like ive been seeing some new artists that hit that nostalgia in the right way) #i have been genuinely feeling Older recently and not in a bad way. its just funny to be in an age bracket that is a minority where i work #ppl are either way to old to know what im talking about or where literal babies when i was in school #i had to explain what camp was at work the other day and also they had no idea what rocky horror picture show was and me and the - #other gay millennial at work were losing our minds that people in their 20s hadnt heard of rocky horror #politely losing our minds of course like ... who cares if people dont know or do the things we did as young queers but also it - #- definitely made us feel older! #theyve also been playing a station that has all the music from my middle school and high school years .... #you know you're getting old when theres now a store radio station for it LOL they never play anything current

[fionnaskyborn]

there's something to be said about the very specific feeling of frailty you feel when you come face to face with just how little you've experienced. twenty-odd years on planet earth and you haven't really watched all that many movies. an unlived life facing an uncertain future. i do not know where to point the finger of blame because i live untethered from my past, floating in the present with no clear point of reference no clear definition of who i am or what happened to me and how i turned out the way i am (fucking. can you guess why five is my favorite game. insert that one lyric from that one modest mouse song.) but you're still here, and you can still learn, and you can catch up, but it still feels like you're a pitiful little nobody looking for excuses trying to explain why you're still new to the whole being alive thing. i've got a good head on my shoulders, though, for all that's worth, so i think i might be fine.

in other news, i watched scarface tonight. it was certainly a movie. don't really understand how the movie made it big, but it did have some damn good music. i mean, i don't know. i'm still learning about the world i live in. maybe it really is as much of a masterpiece as people make it out to be and i'm too dumb to see the reason why it's considered a classic. maybe i'm right. i can't tell at the moment. it's kind of a beggars can't be choosers situation - if you ain't watched that many movies, then you can't really be a good judge of quality. but, oh, well. it's one more movie watched. it's a win because i watched a movie. and i'll watch more movies.

#i mean this extends to things like world politics also i'm still learning and i'm eager to learn beyond what i am offered but that doesn't #make the process any less fucking terrifying. like sure fuck yeah i'll be a big shot and do it alone and i'll be proud of myself but the #thing is i really really really don't know how to be alone without feeling empty #and it's funny because the thing i yearn for the most is to be free and to create myself and do things on my own and i can do that i've #learned how to be an adult very early on and people say ah you've yet to face the worst but every time they tell me that i tell them i can't #wait #but at the same time sometimes i sit and i wonder why i haven't watched that many movies. was there nobody to watch them with? could i have #asked? could things have been different? is it my fault for never having really wanted things or somebody else's? and i'll never really have #a clear answer to any of those questions or at least not anytime soon because my cranium is messed up and unreliable but i won't get the #answers anywhere else. shrugs. i've yet to start living a life. i don't know when i died but i do know but maybe that's just an idea and #maybe i've been dead all along until some point in the past two years but then what are all those memories i have where did they come from #why are they so far apart why do they feel mine and foreign at the same time. can you guess who my favorite mg character is. #well okay i have like what four or five of those but read the text again and think really really hard about it. i'm just kidding i'm goofing #around at this point. i mean no not really but i am smiling about it. :] #logs

It's funny/ frustrating that most of the interactions I have in my "busy office reception" job are people looking for other offices. Funny because I am SO sorry but you could not have asked a worse person to give you directions, poor souls. Frustrating because the office is actually not that busy at all and all my work really can be done from home. Which I know for a fact because I was hired during COVID shut downs when the entire campus was remote and worked remotely for at least the first like 4-5months on the job. Which is probably why my manager lets me work remotely during all breaks

#quilleth in real life #i don't know where other offices are xD like im SO sorry people but the signs aren't embedded in my memory #to know who's on what floor #also the numbering for rooms in this building makes no sense at all which doesnt help anyone #i could be home in comfy pants and a hoodie with my cats but noooo administration decided we all had to be in person again #just so i can play the world's worst navigator and pretend to look busy when i have nothing to do for my job

Gah okay I hope I can maybe sleep soon but I don't know. you do not need to read these tags is it a lot.

#i do not know! i am just... ah. #i suppose in simplest terms just. unworthy or something. which is not New and is in fact #one of my only canon struggles at all really. and i. hm... #everyone else is kind of constantly enduring Everything and i got Pretty good at. not being as sad as k could be i suppose? #and now it is like. i am Stuck in a time where for the First time in many years #(closer to when my mother died for sure) #spiralling downward and it's NOT needed it is the most useless thing i could do perhaps #and I know it is not... i know it isn't Now now. its sunny and theres dirt outside and its fine but then my brain is There #and i feel like a storming stupid little child again. trying desperately to emulate a strength i dont always feel i have #and it's through nobody's fault but my own and it isnt even by far the worst thing compared to #literally everything everyone else has to deal with and its #you need to get up and do something you need to be useful or die trying. you had better die trying. #and thinking about making kaladin of all people be around me when I'm like this is. well. he certainly does not need or deserve that. #nor does... anybody really. #and i also know exhausting and hating myself isnt going to do anything that's sort of the opposite of the Whole Thing which makes it more #frustrating that doing so is my first instinct. i need to figure something out do something help more just help at all #humiliatingly vulnerable memories. when was the last time id cried as adolin... hm. #sorry about all this i think everything in the world hit me all at once #i kind of. did not Actively feel the 'disappointment' thing partially because well #at least some of my brain is at least Somewhat in the future or I know bits because of #stormlight things. and other various small memories. but now it is #one of the more intense and also more rare ones where #i am fully not emotionally cognizant #of anything else But what is ''currently'' happening #outgoing transmission #adolin post #i also so desperately miss kal... i dont wish to burden anyone with this much less him but i would love to be held unfortunately #a tugging in my brain... i do not think i let myself be so vulnerable fast enough #and was just. going downward to what felt like an egregiously selfish degree. #get up there is work to do you bastard.

Speaking of that trans one/pie/ce oc

Did I mention he's a obvious self insert bc I definitely should have by now. Like. Literally drawn as me if I was in the world of on/e/pie/ce, spoke to Ivankov, and also 7 years older. And I love him. Just wish he had a name... That's always the hardest part ;_;

#Cruddy rambles #if I were at my pc rn I'd showcase some of the doodles I have of him but alas... #If you ask him what the key around his neck is for he will tell you a very long story that ends in 'I don't know!' #He's a biologist specializing in lineage factor bc it's cool. But he has very bad memory so when he's asked about his work u can bet that #He's going to answer with '...... I FORGOT!!!' #I'm still working on his laugh but I do want it to be a bite/chew joke. Like bitatatata or smth. #He's got shark teeth like praline bc I love her design #He's also a Big Boy but you wouldn't know it as he's always curled in on himself while working #Until he stands up and you're like oh. Right. Merfolk can be bigger than normal humans. #Listen it's one piece if I get to be a merman and transition then I also get to be tall okay. #(relatively. Compared to some characters he's still part of the shorty squad but still...) #Also I... Am not entirely sure how the split tails ability works bc in the anime kokoro has skin on her legs. Then sometimes she has scales #And then other times when swimming she has a normal tail as well #So I'm under the assumption they can switch between 3 forms but who actually knows #Based on Kokoro's tail fin kick attack in enies lobby I made this boy a thresher shark. I thought it'd be fun >:) #He has good observation haki but mid armament. He knows merman combat and can manipulate water with it #He's not that great of a fighter compared to like yonko commanders or the worst generation. But he can hold his own in the new world

my shoulder subluxing appears to (so far, knock on wood) cause little to no pain

pros: pain free! nice. mostly just annoying symptoms instead (tingly fingers, hand going numb, loud clicking when moving shoulder, tight muscles)

cons: all i want to do is rip my arm around until the fucker gets unsubluxed because I AM ANNOYED AND DOING SO DOESN'T HURT. all advice: rest, heat, painkillers, low activity. me instead: FLINGING ARM AROUND STRETCHING AGGRESSIVELY MASSAGING PRODDING PULLING YANKING.

#mostly i'm going fucking batty bc it's been over a month straight of my right shoulder being subluxed off and on #why? bc packing/moving & then sleeping on world's worst memory foam mattresses #and also not having my desk so my arms rest at the wrong angles #i gave up i'm on the couch w my weighted heating pad trying to keep my arm down #breaking the rules by holding & typing on my phone so my fingers are tingly again #but fuck off i'm really fucking done w this shit

[hopefulhaunted]

wait... I JUST HAD A VERSE/FIC IDEA I LOVE

hear me out. this is self-indulgent as hell but the idea is that komaru time travels back to before junko destroyed the world... but she has a ghost!junko stuck and attached to her at the same time. obviously she's horrified by this, but she still wants to use the chance she's been given to try and change the future.

and somehow... she manages to get ghost!junko to work with her in order to stop her living self?? i'm not sure how it'd work yet, maybe ghost!junko wants her body back and this'll somehow help her get it, maybe she goes along with it for entertainment because she already knows how her old plans will end... idk yet. but the idea is that komaru gets into hope's peak (possibly early, I forgot how the ages/timeline works WHOOPS) using ghost!junko's help/analysis skills, shocking everyone.

if i was feeling really self-indulgent i could give ghost!junko a "semi-redemption" arc... the living junko would be just as villainous as ever, though. like maybe the ghost junko is more of an "aspect"/copy of the original junko, so she's a little different to her in essence??? that part wouldn't be necessary though. IDK I JUST WANT TO PLAY THIS OUT A LOT NOW

#ooc #in my heart. all my faves would get involved. juzo somehow regaining his memories of the future and being like wtf... all my other muses to #but again none of that would be needed lol #i say “semi-redemption” for junko because she'd still be like. have NO remorse for what she did in the past. lol #she's still kind of the worst just not. ending the world this time; lmao #also maybe makoto and some other key dr1 characters could end up recalling their memories of the killing game/past timeline #but have no idea about komaru's situation??? that could be interesting... #i'd love to force them to go against each other somehow but no clue how that'd work. #ANYWAY SEND POST.

[batshit-auspol]

I just spent some time scrolling through this blog and am suffering from sever laughter. Thanks so much for collating the countries craziest moments. One of my favourites is when Scott Morrison was in Hawaii while the bushfires where burning.

December 2019: As Australia's east coast is engulfed in the worst bushfires in living memory, rumours begin to circulate that Australia's Prime Minister Scott Morrison may have secretly fucked off for a holiday in Hawaii.

Keep in mind, this is what is going down in Australia at the time:

The Hawaii rumour is initially written off as a fringe conspiracy, because surely nobody could be that fuckin tonedeaf, and it was quickly forgotten about... until an Australian man visiting Hawaii UPLOADED A SELFIE ON THE BEACH WITH THE PM THROWING A SHAKA.

At which point all hell broke loose.

Overnight the formerly popular "Scomo" became the most despised man in all of Australia. Think "firefighters shouting out of their windows to news cameras" level of despised.

After about two days of radio silence and pretending like he was still at home running the country, the Prime Minister's handlers finally dragged him onto call with an Australian radio station, where he pinky promised to return to Australia as fast as he could in an attempt to calm things down.

Unfortunately Scott's empathy consultant (a real job) then had to watch Scott pour more gasoline on the dumpster fire by uttering the now famous phrase "Look I don't hold a hose mate" when asked by the radio interviewer why the fucking fuck the fuckhead wasn't fucking in Australia doing his fucking job during a massive fucking crisis.

Testing just how much worse things could get, Scomo then proceeded to NOT rush back to Australia as promised, instead attempting to complete the rest of his holiday, a fact that was exposed when a passerby snapped a picture of him still lounging on the beach two days later.

Eventually, holiday complete, Morrison did reluctantly slink back to Australia, and in an attempt to calm things down, he decided to pay a visit to a small town that had been destroyed by the fires.

Which was a big mistake.

Scomo still had not registered how absolutely and totally he had screwed the poodle with his Hawaiian beach vacation, and he walks into what is now taught in PR classes as one of the greatest examples of "what not do do in a crisis" in all of history.

Scotty from Marketing, as he is now dubbed by the nation, spends a painfully cringe-inducing hour wandering around a burned down town with TV news cameras in tow, having to FORCE PEOPLE TO SHAKE HIS HAND in what is some of the most awkward footage you will ever see.

At this point it's probably also worth mentioning that, before becoming Prime Minister, Scott Morrison's biggest claim to fame in politics was being the guy that was so far up the coal lobby's arse that he literally brought coal into parliament and waved it around, claiming it doesn't hurt people.

So when a protest was organised it turned out to be one big national fuck you to the Prime Minister, the likes of which the world has never seen before or since.

Needless to say, at this point Scomo's career was dead in the water, but thanks to the rules brought in to stop Australian political parties from knifing their leader every two weeks (a popular Aussie passtime) Morrison basically couldn't get fired until after the next election.

And so, when the election rolled around in 2022, we decided that was an opportune time to travel over to Hawaii to erect this bad boy tribute to the Prime Minister, on the very beach where Scomo had sat and drank margaritas that one fateful week in December as Australia burned (thanks to @chaser for funding the ticket)
