#i’ve thought about a mountain one a Lot but idk

[yaspup9000]

By Popular demand, here’s some of my LPS Hot takes

Some of the later pets weren’t That bad. Like yea I do agree that the tv show based toys from like 2013-2016 weren’t that great and kinda fugly looking, but with some of the 2020 pets, why yes not as iconic as the 2000s lps that we know and love, I still believe some people were really harsh on some of these pets cuz like they did look really cute tho! My only problem with the pets was the fact they had names tbh 2. Not every g2 lps molds were perfect. Some really good examples of older lps molds being kinda ugly were the first Jack Russel and poodle molds. I’ve also mentioned about the skunk/Squrriel molds were pretty lazy since it’s just the same mold . They didn’t even try to make them different from each other. Like say what you will but at least with some of the newer pets between 2013-2020 they were at least trying to make the skunk and squirrel molds different from each other. also the opossum molds was not all that great tbh..

3. The worse thing that ever happened to lps was the Blythe loves lps toy line. No joke idk why they thought this was good. I mean if you guys loved the Blythe dolls that’s fine, to me I always found them off putting since well, they just didn’t fit personally. Like you’re the one who’s caring the pets or this is a world where it’s run by pets. There was never any mention about humans tbh. Again this is prob coming from bitter younger me lol. But in all seriousness though, never really liked Blythe dolls tbh

4. People need to Chill out about the some of the rerelease of lps. Yes I understand, I’m just as nervous and excited as the rest of you guys however I genuinely feel as if people are really making a mountain out of a hill over some prototypes and a blind bag. Like I understand that everyone’s burned out by bad decisions after bad decisions within the lps Franchise. And yes blind bags are overused and annoying however, Guys.. they’re not just gonna make only just blind bags, they’re gonna do other stuff for lps soon just be patient. Not to mention at the end of the day, they’re still just silly little pets for kids. Can you critique the toys? Of course! But just remember that it ain’t that deep. 5. They should bring back that one brown poodle mold

yes this one! its cute as hecc! and i wish they would bring this back 6. This cat isn't a "Wolf-Cat" Its a maine coon. This isn't even an opinion or anything, i just wanna let people know that its suppose to be a maine coon. also the actual "wolf-cat" is called Lykoi and idk how that breed of cat would look as an lps.

7. the main reason back in 2013 Lps was having a reboot was due to MLP having a reboot. that's just my theory tho.

8. I feel like a lot of people keep forgetting that 90s LPS exist. Like whenever people say "g1" they don't think about the kenner Lps toys, they were thinking about the 2000's lps that was popularized by hasbro. and tbh that kinda sucks.. cuz why yes the kenner toys were more into realism, i still geninually, like the kenner lps figures they were rad.

9. The sticker eyes lps were cute, I actually liked them 10. One pet peeve I had with LPS popular, is that technically, Brook should of been arrested or at least suspended since she did attack Savannah first. Not to mention, doesn't this school have like cameras or something!? i know this has been years since I've watched LPS popular but like, bruh, Why don't her parents believe her!

Umm.. I dont really have any other opinions nor thoughts at the moment. idk feel free to ask me anything lps related and I'll give my honest opinions.

★ Track 4: H.J - I’ve Loved You For So Long

You're taking me back, babe, to where it all started, wearing your hair up in your New York apartment, I swear, I've loved you for so long, I'd do it again

Hwang Hyunjin was everything you’ve ever dreamed of. Little do you know that you’re everything he’s ever dreamed of, too, at least since the day you met, and the day he left.

There were always questions as to how a broke artist afforded an apartment in New York City.

You had reasons. You worked almost every possible hour outside of the studio at a local coffee shop, and had sold several of your favourite possessions, including your prized guitar handed down from your mother. You worked hard for what you had, and you appreciated it more so that way.

That’s always how it had been. You worked hard enough for something, you’d eventually get there.

Hwang Hyunjin came from a wealthier background and also lived in an apartment in New York City, albeit much more beautiful than yours. He was also beautiful, and not in any way snobby as you’d expect. He felt very deeply, and translated it into his artwork. 

He knew that if he wanted something, he’d get it, reasonably quickly. But he didn’t like things that way. 

He loved the anticipation, the slow burn, the pining and wishing and hoping, which was exactly how he felt about you.

He didn’t want his own expensive personal studio. He used the local art space, which was available to rent for a few hours each day. That was where he first saw you. All of you.

You and your posture that gave you back aches when you sat sketching for too long, the way you bit your lip when you were deep in thought, your habit of tucking your hair behind your ears only for it to flop forward again within the next few seconds. He was fascinated by you, but he preferred admiring from a distance for the moment. He didn’t want to push forward or scare you away.

You thought he was one of the prettiest people you’d seen. He seemed so comfortable with his masculinity that he wasn’t afraid to step into his feminine side, wearing his hair a little longer, dressing a little more form-fitting. His lips were plush and sometimes scarred from where he nibbled on them, and he had brown eyes, so dark yet so warm, as if they’d melt you if you stared into them for a little too long.

It wasn’t as if you ever shared a conversation before he left New York. Even though you spent a lot of time together, it was comfortable silence. You sat, on opposite ends of the studio, working on your projects, trying to avoid catching each others eyes. One time though, when you walked past to go wash your paintbrush, you accidentally brushed against him, and he noticed.

The way your cheeks flushed, and your small smile.

Hwang Hyunjin didn’t expect his life to bring him back to New York City, although perhaps a part of him had always hoped it would.

He’d spent years travelling Europe, visiting art galleries and staying in beautiful apartments and villas, swimming in the ocean in the summer and taking photos of the mountains in the winter. He was inspired constantly, and filled his life with art, food, gorgeous views and wine.

He’d gotten to a point in his life where it was expected he would be married, or at least have entered a long-term relationship. Although he met some of the prettiest people he’d ever seen, he never pursued further than dinner and a kiss on the cheek. 

He thought about you, and the way your cheeks flushed, and your small smile.

Your hair, piled up on your head in a way that was not at all structurally sound, letting fronds flop into your eyes and around your neck and collarbone.

He returned to New York a little while after he’d stayed in Paris, and spent time looking for an apartment. He’d been connected with a real estate agent, one that sold high-end apartments uptown. He decided to walk up instead of catching a taxi, and whilst walking past the studio where you’d first seen each other, he saw an advert in the window.

You were looking for a roommate, and applications were due by 5pm.

You stood on the other side of the apartment, your hair pulled up with a piece of blue-and-white gingham ribbon, taken off the wrapping of the book Hyunjin had bought you for your birthday. You wore a long denim skirt and pale yellow bralette, with lace around the edges and a soft pattern of tiny lemons across it, with one of Hyunjin’s white linen shirts over the top, unbuttoned and blowing in the wind that came through the opened window in the kitchen.

Hyunjin lay still in bed, flat on his stomach, admiring you from afar the way he always did. Even after two years, where all he’d done was live, breathe and love you, there were moments where he liked to remember how he’d fallen for you in the first place.

There were also moments where he wanted to be as close to you as possible. He shifted off the bed and walked over, wrapping his arms around your waist and pressing his face into your hair.

“Did you want to go out today?” he mumbled into your hair. “I feel bad that we stayed at home all day again; there’s not much point to weekends if we don’t do anything, is there?”

You looked up at him. “I didn’t really want to. I prefer being at home, anyway.”

“Good, because I didn’t want to either,” he smiled, pressing a kiss onto your shoulder. “Even though we don’t talk all the time…”

“I like our silence. We don’t feel like we have to say anything,” you finished, turning yourself around from where you were facing the kitchen bench and placing your arms around his waist. He shifted his to your shoulders, and pulled you in close, so you were flush against his chest.

“I’ve loved you for so long,” Hyunjin murmured, his forehead against yours, noses touching.

“You don’t just say it,” you whispered. “You show it. And that’s even more beautiful, I think.”

“I’ve loved you since I first saw you. And I know that you know, but I just want to remind you, that you’re what I’ve dreamed of for so long, and what I’ve wanted without realising.”

“You talk a lot sometimes, my love.”

“I mean everything I say. I like to talk about you. I like to talk to you.”

You cupped his face with your hands and brought your lips to his.

Places on Earth that look like they are from another planet. Part 1

Pack your bags because we are going on a trip. 

Looks like snow but it is pure white sand and soft like powder. Or, for a Classica de Americana past time, This is a pretty fun place to go sandboarding. All the fun of Snow boarding with the aesthetic but it’s nice and toasty. 

There are a lot of pink body’s of water in the world even several in Australia. But I think Lake Hiller is just...idk there is something majestic about it....

First time I saw this place I thought it was CGI. Spectacular. I say ‘saw’ as if I've been there. 

The pitch black volcanic ash beach with the polished glacier chunks spanning from diamond like to a stunning deep turquoise washing ashore. You should see in during Polar nights with the aurora painting the sky, it’s for sure worth the Google It’s so gorgeous!

I thought this was a deep fake when I first found out about Kawah. That’s right blue lava. Not much to add other that...look at that shit! it’s blue! Forbidden baja blast. I know it would kill me. But I want to take a sip. 

This is not a screen shot from a Falmer cave in Skyrim. Those are millions of glow worms lightening up this place. I want to eat these too. my cave man brain sees ‘blue’ and thinks ‘mmm berry flavor...’

Vote to call this place the Smokey Mountains instead of the ones in America. This place looks prehistoric. This volcanic plate never got the memo that the ground doesn't just explode all the time everywhere anymore. 

Stunning hot springs looking over some of the most beautiful skylines you will ever see. This place is so slept on as a natural wonder. I don’t even have to say it, you know I want to stick a straw in. 

Not everything has to be natural. The Golden bridge in Vietnam just looks like it would be straight from a sci-fi or fantasy novel.

BMC Archival Footage Notes

This is gonna be a long post so I’m gonna put it under the cut, like it says these are notes from me watching the Be More Chill Broadway archival footage at the New York Public Library, it’s mostly small things I noticed that I hadn’t before or things specific to this performance of the show or just random thoughts I had while watching it 

Basics

The footage is from August 8, 2019

I watched it on a CRT tv

There were multiple camera angles

It was high quality

There were credits in the beginning

Jason Tam was not listed with the main cast in the credits he was listed after the swings for some reason? There were no swings on so idk why it was like that

Act 1

I thought it had been cut but “girls! boys!” still exists

Mr. Reyes is in the theatre when Jeremy walks in before ILPR

Rich chases Jenna and tries to pull her hair when they enter after ILPR

Mr. Reyes: We are going to take a 5 minute break so that I can eat a hot pocket!      Jake, pointing: sick!

Jake to Rich as he leaves rehearsal: Yeah, see ya dude (it’s very quiet dialogue that I’d just never noticed)

Christine leans on the podium to try to look cool while she’s talking to Jake

Jake gives Christine a peace sign when he walks out at the end of that scene

Rich: he was so lonely SHHHHH the poor guy

Rich gets in Jeremy’s personal space and whispers in his ear on “speaks to you directly” and Jeremy does not like it

Michael is reading a magazine when the bed slides in for TPG

MITB plays under some of the dialogue in TPG

Scary Stockboy makes a lot of weird ass noises 

The SQUIP shoebox has a tiny bit of fog coming out of it

The SQUIP pill itself actually glows 

Jeremy kept drinking his Mountain Dew after Michael left as if he was hoping the SQUIP would activate if he drank more

Jake hides behind Christine when Jeremy’s SQUIP is activating 

The SQUIP voice was different than I’d ever heard it? It was weirdly deeper than usual and it threw me off

SQUIP: everything about you is so ✨tewwabowle✨

Jeremy has like a panic attack after the SQUIP says “everything about you makes me wanna die” (”oh god oh no oh no oh god”)

“this” when the SQUIP sang “she had a shirt just like this” was a lower than normal note

There’s a moon and sunrise projection in the background when Jeremy goes to sleep

Jake and Rich have a similar handshake to Michael and Jeremy

Jeremy does finger guns to Brooke on their “let’s sync up” 

Chloe kicked Christine’s backpack too far and it went off stage (not into the audience but the backstage area)

Jenna was very obviously filming Rich doing something weird with his belly button when the curtain opened 

Jeremy yeeted his script off stage when the SQUIP started controlling him for his Puck monologue 

Jenna got out her phone before Jeremy started his monologue because she was gonna film him failing and then he didn’t fail

Jenna fans Jeremy with her script after his monologue 

Me watching Christine give birth to the bowling ball: this woman is an Oscar nominee 

the SQUIP inspects the bowling ball baby when Jeremy is holding it

Jeremy sniffs his armpits when the SQUIP tells him “I’ve been activating your pheromones”

Christine had one had in her sweater sleeve during most of GTIKBI

They didn't show Jenna on the bleachers

Jake does a lot of small riffs during Upgrade

Usually spoken parts were sung very softly during LGW

After “optic nerve blocking on” Michael can been seen for a brief moment in the screens around the stage

Act 2

They play the SQUIP tango at the end of intermission

Mini dance battle dialogue I could make out Rich: Come on Jake!      Brooke: What?!

Jake: The keg’s right over there! Yo Chloe!

Chloe wipes her tears with her skirt during DYWH

Jake tells Brooke to hold him back when they find Chloe and Jeremy

Jenna bounces her leg when telling Michael to hurry up

Brooke walks by in the the background at the beginning of the GTIKBI (reprise) scene, sees Jeremy, then storms off

Whose bra is on the lamp in this scene???

Jeremy just screamed for his “say what's on your mind”

Christine looked happy and excited when Jeremy asked her out, like she was gonna say yes but then decided it wasn’t the right time

When the SQUIP comes back, a piece of the curtain got statically stuck to his costume

Jenna happy stims when Chloe says “Spit it out! Spit it out!”

Cheerleading choreography 

Mr. Heere: do you love him? *record scratch sound*

Chloe to Jake: you had it coming!       Jake, sadly: okay :(

Chloe doesn’t even say “come on” when she calls Brooke, she just slaps her leg and gesture for Brooke to go with her

The prop beaker flew too far and ended up backstage, Jeremy had to actually go off stage to retrieve it

there are 3 audible snaps after the line “when you improve the lives of all your peers”

Jenna looked so sad when she said “I would do anything to feel like I belong”

Scrolling text of green code on the screens around the stage near the end of TPC

“everything about you is going to be wonderful” instrumental plays under Jeremy trying to convince Christine to take a SQUIP

Mr. Reyes: I suppose you’ll be wanting your costume back *starts to cry as he runs off stage*

The SQUIP being lowered onto the stage during The Play seemed oddly fast

Michael mimics Jeremy’s weird position when he says “it’s a gesture, gesture matter!”

Michael does a little dance on “I just know it’s never gonna happen”

Jake just wanders around in the background holding the empty bottle of Mountain Dew Red

Christine: You’re the guy I am so kinda into      Jeremy: I am?

LGW plays as Jeremy breaks free from the SQUIP and gives Christine the Mountain Dew Red 

Michael’s jaw drops when he hears Rich say “totally bi now”

Rich does the 👉👌 hand gesture after “tell her that she excites you sexually”

Jake dabs and Jeremy dabs back at him

[splendentmoon]

I’ve noticed in your forgotten prince au that you have yet to mention MK and Bai He’s parents, so if you’re interested I came up with an idea that involves ShadowJadePeach that could give the story a bit more uniqueness:

Parents:

Sun Wukong: Monkey King

Liu’er Mihou: Shadow Queen

Sun Nüwa: First Consort of Mount Huaguo

Wukong and Nüwa had become close friends with Wukong even sneaking her to his home on a few occasions. While planning the havoc in heaven with the brotherhood, Nüwa came to Wukong in tears, she revealed that her father had been looking for suitors for her (because of her friendship with Wukong) and that even without the true sight that Wukong and Erlang possess she could tell everyone of them were selfish people who only wanted her for her position and powers. She felt completely hopeless, as even if she brought up her worries to her father, he’d brush her off without a second thought.

Seeing his friend’s despair, Wukong came up with a plan to help (with advice and approval from Macaque). He travelled to the western kingdom and with a bit of persuasion (and a lot of pleading) he married Nüwa with the approval of Buddha, not only that but the ceremony itself was ordained by Guanyin. This basically made it impossible for the Jade Emperor to refuse or annul the marriage (much to his seething anger).

This event would cause a ripple effect in the brotherhood, with DBK deciding to settle down with PIF (who he met at the wedding ceremony) and the Camel Ridge Trio being banished from FFM after Azure suggested they use Nüwa to take down the Jade Emperor.

The three would live in (relative) peace for a long while, then came the day Macaque and Nüwa brought up the idea of children. Wukong was excited about the idea, but he was also worried that people would treat one of his spouses as inferior because the other would be the mother of his first born hair, he felt bad enough that people treated Nüwa as less than because she’s a consort and not a queen like Macaque.

(Which he feels is ridiculous because in his eyes Macaque and Nüwa are not only equal to each other, but are both equal to him as well)

He comes up with a crazy plan to avoid such an outcome, using Nüwa’s magic, the remnants of his stone egg, and a sliver of Macaque’s shadows, they craft a child that would be biologically related to the three of them.

Much to their surprise the new egg hatches into not one but two little cubs.

Their happiness was unfortunately cut short once news of the children reached the Jade Emperor who became blinded with anger. He felt it was insulting enough that his daughter married a monkey and became a consort despite being of higher status, but for her to taint their bloodline and in such an unnatural manner, was the final straw for him.

He sent his armies to capture the three of them and destroy the children. They succeeded in capturing them, but by then Nüwa had already hidden Xiaotian and Bai He away. The Jade Emperor decided it was fine as the children showed no physical indication of being related to Nüwa or more importantly him and would likely parish on their own.

He imprisoned the three rulers in specially crafted prisons with seales that could only be undone by someone of his direct bloodline (aka him, Nüwa, or the cubs). Wukong was trapped under a mountain in the mortal realm. Macaque was bound in mystic icy chains in Diyu (wild guess who is responsible for those). While Nüwa was kept under house arrest in the Jade Palace, with a collar that not only cancelled out her powers, but whenever she tried to leave the palace it would inflict unspeakable pain.

The only solace the three of them had in this new miserable existence was the fact their children were safe, far away from the Jade Emperor and that Nüwa could still dream walk despite the collar, connecting herself every night to her husband and sister-wife (idk if there’s a better phrase for two people who are married to the same spouse).

Xiaotian and Bai He grew up in (relative) isolation, fully aware of being related to the Monkey King and Shadow Queen, but unaware of their relation to the Goddess of Creation. While they shared no physical similarities with her they did inherit her powers, though they often mistook them as either an ability one of their other two parents had that no one knew of (ex: healing) or as one of their other power acting up for one reason or another (creation accidentally mixing with hair clones equals unpredictable trouble).

Around this time the Jade Emperor would send his armies to hunt the two of them down, hoping to end them before they or anyone else discovered their connection to him, what he hadn’t anticipated for was one of his soldiers developing a crush on his disowned granddaughter. (Bai He x Nezha)

How do I tell you this without making me hate myself?

First of all, it sounds great and it would be great if it were, but….

I can tell you didn't know that the story was already explained and how things were.

I'm not trying to make you feel bad, I swear, but I already have the story planned out, if I change it for me it would be like throwing a sleepless night and mumbling like a schizophrenic in the trash.

But I can tell you'd be a good writer, because that sounds like something incredible.

HERE is the question I answered telling the story of Forgotten prince, sorry and bye!

#lmk au #forgottenprinceau #lego monkie kid

[honorthysalad]

Alright gotta pick my jaw off the floor after that last chapter (hehe). Just gonna lay out a few thoughts and ideas.

right so my prediction is Tanaka’s gonna take ‘Hikaru’s head and try to walk off. He’s gonna be testing A) if ‘Hikaru’ can survive/heal from this B) how to stop ‘Hikaru’ from healing to make him easier to remove. I’m assuming that as a brain snatcher, ‘Hikaru’ resides mostly in the head so the rest of his body is probably just gonna lay there.

so then three ways I can see that going:

Number 1: Yoshiki tries to haggle with Tanaka. Maybe he agrees to provide information on the Brainsnatcher or trades the piece of ‘Hikaru’s insides in return to get ‘Hikaru’ back. Or he asks to go with them, not even to get ‘Hikaru’ back. He just wants to stay by ‘Hikaru’s side.

Number 2: Tanaka drops the sword as he goes to leave and Yoshiki picks it up, threatening to fight him. He’s not going to try to kill Tanaka; he just can’t let him take ‘Hikaru’. Uh but it’s Yoshiki so he pussies out/gets his ass kicked, and Tanaka leaves anyway.

Number 3: idk maybe ‘Hikaru’ tries to spider crawls away like that scene from the Thing. I think that’d be pretty funny to watch.

They’ve spent most of vol4 going ‘well we made a promise (with a friendship bracelet to prove it) and we’re gonna stick together no matter what’ so I think it’s only natural for vol 5 to put that to the test. We’ve already seen that ‘Hikaru’ can’t protect Yoshiki. Can Yoshiki protect ‘Hikaru’? (The answer is probably also no.)

Anyway I don’t think Tanaka is just gonna be like ‘oh yes please reattach and be at assumedly full strength to kill me’. He’s got some plan. I don’t really know how this ghost stuff works, but Tanaka does so Imma trust he can absolutely fuck up ‘Hikaru’.

I mean he could just cut off ‘Hikaru’s head, answer absolutely zero questions, and then walk away and that would be equally badass but I kind of doubt it because it would make the whole scene pointless. We already know Tanaka knows, and we already know ‘Hikaru’ is immortal. This has gotta bring up some new information.

other non head related predictions for vol5:

’Hikaru’ having a scar from being not quite powerful enough to heal completely. Think this would be a nice contrast to the scars spirits usually leave on others and makes him feel more human.

Yoshiki and ‘Hikaru’ returning to where Hikaru died to learn more about the ritual Hikaru was doing.

‘Hikaru’s grandpa dies because old people aren’t allowed to exist in hgsn.

Maki dies hopefully sometime soon. I’ve been thinking this since vol2 so idk if it’ll happen but he just feels like a character who will die. (I’ve got like an idea for how it’d happen but with the tone of this chapter in mind it’s pretty unlikely).

a conversation with Hikaru’s mom. please god talk to her Yoshiki please.

Some sort of discussion on the vision Yoshiki had back in vol2 because that happened and he proceeded to literally never think about it once afterwards (I’m pretty sure at least… idk maybe he did in vol3 I still don’t remember what happened in that one).

‘Hikaru’s falls off the mountain after seeing the titty tree.

overall thoughts on vol4: it was good. Lot of talking. Especially ghost talking which my brain kinda skims over (which probably doesn’t help my comprehension… idk ghosts are my least favorite part of this series). I liked seeing Hikaru and Yoshiki’s hideout. Any scene with Yoshiki and Hikaru is great tho. The further use of Yoshiki in the role of mother by having him wash ‘Hikaru’s clothes, highlighting just how childish ‘Hikaru’ is in comparison, and even just when the angle shifts to make ‘Hikaru’ smaller and Yoshiki taller. Idk this mother thing is constantly on my mind, especially because Yoshiki named ‘Hikaru’. That day when he embraced him, he gave ‘Hikaru’ a new name, spelled differently and everything, and that’s how he’s referred to from then on. (Idk ‘Hikaru’ if calls himself by that name, I can’t think of any examples at least, but I still think it’s pretty powerful.)

Edit: throwing this on here too

[ultimateaclrecovery]

I feel all over the place and not in a good way

My pony wasn’t feeling very well yesterday so I’m worried about her and worried if I did the right things for things for her and just all of it

Me and the bf had a fight Sunday and we mostly made up but I’m still so unsure of everything and want to just not sometimes

There’s so many frisbee things and I’m trying to prioritize my whole and I don’t know if I’m doing it right

My kitchen is still a mess from last weekend and if that isn’t just a summation

I supposed to do a girls day with two friends tomorrow but one of them canceled cuz her grandma is sick, but now I see that her and the other girl are skiing together with their bfs today and like I’m feeling some kind of way about it. Especially because we made these plans literally over a month ago. And idk it just hurts my feelings that she would prioritize hanging with the other girl who she skiis with all the time, and not see me ever, and also the mountains are like two hour drive verses being in town and (presumably) closer to her family stuff.

My riding also said she thinks that I correct her a lot and hurt her feelings sometimes so she thought I was ironic that I was upset that my bf does that to me. And like I had no idea that she felt that way. And I’m having a hard time thinking of times when I’ve corrected her. I’ve asked for clarification on things, and we give each other feedback on riding sometimes, but not usually unprompted. So I guess that’s a thing I need to figure out and am feeling bad about.

Idk it just feels like everything is a little bit wrong. Too many negative feelings and stress and not enough solutions.

I also still need to do my taxes, make a dentist appointment, make a doctors appointment, want to make a hair appointment, want to hire a gardener, (but I reached out to the person who did my hair last time, and the gardener who previously did weeding for me who I wanted to work with again and neither got back to me so it’s not even my fault that I’m behind there but it is my problem.

And my kitchen is a mess. And I’m behind on my strength workouts but I’m so tired and need a nap for like a week.

#ugh #just everything ugh

[filmcel]

donnie darko - the best movie i’ve ever seen. such an interesting depiction of mental health. it’s interesting fuck the director though he’s a dumbass.

prisoners - THE movie to recommend people. idk anyone who has watched it and hated it. it’s so fucking good . tbh jake is like the least interesting part of the movie he’s pretty ugly. paul dano is the goat. the best movie i’ve seen revolving around some mystery. always on my toes always scared. when u think you know u end up being wrong. it gets u.

zodiac - he’s so cute in this movie and that’s as good as it gets. it’s good for one viewing and that’s IT. it’s very interesting has good sequences. but it’s so damn long. i guess if u wanna argue that it wants u to FEEL how they felt waiting so long trying to catch the zodiac killer id say sure fine but also they never even catch him so what’s the point of the movie. idk.

brokeback mountain - no comment

nocturnal animals - this movie is absolutely insane in the worst way. the two main characters r fuxking deranged. jake’s character is deranged for being like that. his weird revenge thing is so strange and it’s uncomfortable. i didn’t get it i didn’t like it i wouldn’t watch again.

enemy - this fucking movie…. idk how i sat thru it all actually. i’m proud of myself but i didn’t need to put myself thru that. jake is so boring in this. the movie itself is so fucking boring. it’s so weird. it’s so ugly. it looks like shit and it’s shot like shit and i don’t get why bc it’s a denis movie. maybe i’m not smart enough to get it but it sucked dick AND balls.

the guilty - okay. i know this movie isn’t very good. but i watched it and was entertained. it rlly is something you’d catch on the tv while ur at the dentist and get rlly invested in the 30 minutes ur in the waiting room. its nothing life changing but i had a good time

ambulance - HWHSJFJJDJAJAJS. the worst shit i’ve ever fucking seeeeeen. it’s hilarious tho . watch it drunk otherwise u might be bored out of ur mind. this movie is so insanely shot. i remember the billion drone shots. i remember the spleen burst. i remember the goofy shots they did of jake. idk how it got made. idk how jake is in it.

brothers - this movie… isn’t BAD…. i think? it made me uncomfortable. which yeah. that’s the point. but like the scene of tobey like being captured whatever . idk enough about anything but was that offensive in some way? let me know… it felt strange . the movie tho is super hard to watch. it’s cringey and scary. i wanna rewatch to get my full thoughts on it because it was awhile ago . great acting tho.

end of watch - Stupid baka fucking movie. i made my mom rent this shit and im sorry i wasted 4 of ur hard earned dollars. this movie is worth nothing. it’s so racist to mexicans. it’s embarrassing. like the main guy is mexicans and it does all that cringe cholo shit it made me want to claw my eyes out and never watch another movie again.

the covenant - GEHHRDHHFHRHSJZJFJRJEJ the most boring movie of all these honestly. i think i almost fell asleep. jake is in too many military movies actually holy shit. don’t watch this one at all lmfao .

jarhead - this one is the most interesting military movie he’s in but it’s also graphically one of the worst so beware. it rlly doesn’t hold back with trying to be gross and bad. and i understand why. but it does make it hard to watch. it’s shot rlly well though. and the acting is great.

demolition - OH BROTHHERRRRR. i thought this movie would be worth something because it’s one of those u see a lot of clips of online. it’s genuinely so stupid tho. i can barely remember the plot but i just remember it made no sense. ppl keep getting jake for these insane characters except it’s just dumb as shit.

october sky - this is a cute fun movie you’d watch in middle school ^_^! cute little time!!! and it has laura dern so what’s not to like!! maybe a little boring to some tho.

#captain’s log #excluding spiderman cuz i don’t wanna talk about that bull. #i could talk about each movie far more than this but … i’ll be easy on u guys #also it’s been awhile since i’ve seen majority of these #id love to like . pick apart each one like talking about specific scenes and such #but like i said. i watched these awhile ago #notice how most of them r shit

[heyiwrotesomethings]

Hi everybody! I’m mostly settled in back home and I’m feeling a lot more energized and ready to finish up those last few requests so I can go into September with a clean slate. Thank you all for your patience, it feels good to be back :D

Under the cut are some pictures from my trip for those who may be interested to see what I was up to.

Starting off strong with a black bear we saw on the side of the road! We saw 5 total I think. All while driving, which was be a theme for most of the animals we hoped to see on our trip. One of the scariest moments was when one bounded into the road in front of us. A very close call, but nobody (person or animal) was hurt. (Riding Mountain NP, Manitoba, Canada)

This elk silently strode right into our campsite one morning. I looked up and I had a heart attack because he emerged from the bushes like a reverse Homer Simpson. He was very chill though, went to go eat leaves in the little island surrounded by campsites. He came back the next morning too. You really don’t think about how big an elk is until the only thing separating you is a picnic table. (Prince Albert NP, Saskatchewan, Canada)

Bison, also seen on the side of the road while driving by. This was also the same place where I saw the beavers and because of that I think that’s why this place is ultimately my favorite from the whole trip. I’ve only seen one wild beaver in my life before I came here so getting to see a bunch chew and swim around made me very happy. Also, you could not pay me to get into the water there. Never mind the fact that they had a blue-green algae bloom, but they also had leeches that you could see swimming around just by looking in from the dock. Icky, but fun to watch. (Elk Island NP, Alberta, Canada)

Moose, also brought to you by simply driving down the road. Which is funny because we went on a trail that pretty much guaranteed you to see moose and we didn’t see a single one. But this one was just hanging out on the side of the road maybe 40/50km away from the critically acclaimed moose spot. She was the only moose we saw, and some people were disappointed to have not seen one with antlers, but I say better one than none. (Jasper NP, Alberta, Canada)

Jasper probably had the most cool views. Love me a mountain with a big ol’ glacier on it. There was a nice, cool wind that blew through this area almost constantly. (Jasper NP, Alberta, Canada)

Another elk, but this one was too cool not to share in my opinion. Another from the car shot as we left Jasper. He’s running with the mountains in the background and he’s got the biggest antlers I’ve ever seen. Super neat. (Jasper NP, Alberta, Canada)

Here’s a nice little artsy photo I took. We saw a lot of these purple flowers around and I think they’re really pretty, especially paired with the beautiful glacial waters and rugged mountains. Wish I could see views like this all the time. (Yoho NP, British Colombia, Canada)

I know this probably doesn’t look like much, but I think it’s so neat to look at. It’s a mountain that still has snow (maybe a very small glacier idk) on it but also has a little dune that looks like it belongs in the desert and a refreshing little stream curving around the rock. I took this photo while on a 10 mile (~16km) hike too much elevation gain and the down didn’t feel much better, but on those rare stretches of flat ground I felt like Rock Lee when he took off his ankle weights. Also, 10 mile hike up a mountain, barely any people around, you think we saw any animals? No. No we did not. (Yoho NP, British Colombia, Canada)

I think these birds are called Clark’s Nutcrackers if my quick googling is to be trusted. I thought they were really cute, but also kind of vicious. I saw one dive bomb a woman and steal a good chunk of her wrap/burrito. (Banff NP, Lake Louise, Alberta Canada)

A whole herd of big horn sheep seen while waking around the campground. Some of them looked really menacing. Really big horns and super buff. If one wanted to mess you up, it definitely could. Still really neat to see from a distance! We also checked out the hot spring nearby. Too hot for me, so I spent most of my time in the little cool pool, a refreshing 55F (~13C). (Kootenay NP, British Colombia, Canada)

[altschmerzes]

if anyone has cats they would like to send me pics of i would appreciate that a lot i am having a very very fucking weird one right now and don’t really know what to do with myself.

the short version is: my dad died today. the long version is..... probably an absolutely ridiculous overshare but. like i said. don’t know what to do with myself so i’m just. idk im talking out loud i guess, putting this Somewhere. it’s. heavy, sorry.

so the post i made recently celebrating seven years going no-contact with my abusive father who kind of ruined my life in a lot of really serious ways i am likely never really going to completely recover from? yeah. he had a stroke earlier this year that sounded like it was pretty serious and that was a lot to process and then i just got the call from my mom that he had a heart attack while fishing with a friend this afternoon and died. apparently it was fast, which is good. he was fifty-five and i guess he’d just hit two years sober.

my mom sounded really upset on the phone, and i guess she’d only found out less than ten minutes before she called me, she just told my sister, who lives with her, and my sister went off to take a shower (read: have a breakdown in the shower), and then called me immediately and said “your dad died” as soon as i answered with a hey, what’s up. they’d been divorced for twenty years and he was a fucking bastard but i guess your ex-husband and your kids’ dad who you’ve recently been reconnecting with and spending time with again dies and you’re probably gonna have some strong feelings about it. my sister is in pieces, they’d reconnected and were spending a lot more time together. in their text they said ‘i barely got any time with him and i’m fucking heartbroken’.

and because he has no other living relatives my 23 year old sister who is uh, in a fragile state on the best of days, is gonna have to deal with all of the paperwork and shit that happens when someone dies. and my sister and i’s relationship is like.... it’s complicated, to put it politely, they are very hard for me to be around for a lot of reasons, but i wouldn’t wish that on them and i wish i was able to take on that stuff if only because i’m almost through law school and i’m the least emotionally invested in the man and it just would be easier for everyone if i did the paperwork and whatever.

and then there’s my brother, because i have a brother, who i barely talk about because it hurts to think about him. he’s nine years older than me and he’s my half-brother by my dad and after my dad went to prison on drug charges i didn’t see him for thirteen years. and then a long time after a brief visit too. he’s got two kids now, and for a while there we were in sporadic contact, but i haven’t seen or heard from him since i was maybe nineteen. and my mom was just kind of rambling on the phone about how she had to find my brother’s mother’s contact information because someone had to tell him and because i’m all the way out here and i can’t DO anything else i told her i’d find her and tell her what happened and get everyone’s contact information for whatever’s coming next so. now i’ve texted my brother, who is a living wound in my life, for the first time in like six years. he hasn’t answered yet and according to his mother he’s ‘devastated.’ so.

i’m not. i’m not devastated. i don’t know what i feel honestly. once i tracked her down on facebook and dealt with all of that i just sort of sat at the kitchen table and stared at the wall for a long time. listened to the mountain goats song ‘pale green things’ and drifted in a weird numb void. i’m not.... sad. not about him anyway. i don’t know what i am. i have a very difficult time articulating my feelings on a good day, fuck i mean i have a hard time identifying my feelings on a good day. some combination of autism and cptsd and the sense that if i have feelings someone is going to die, maybe me, maybe someone else. if i have feelings, i get someone killed, is the thought process, which is a long story but. is extremely hard to work around, especially when i don’t see the point because taking active steps to make my feelings known and make them something someone else has to deal with is like. what’s the point. why do that.

so i don’t know what i feel. i feel strange and distant and not-sad and kind of angry at my sister and brother for some fucking reason and guilty and resentful and relieved. there’s some relief in there i think, because it’s like. i don’t know. i had the thought earlier, ‘oh thank gd’ which is. it sounds heinous but i now i’ll never have to choose between attending my sister’s wedding and not having to see him there, if i go back to my hometown and feel like there’s a monster stalking me from the shadows i can just tell myself the fucking monster’s fucking dead and he can’t ever hurt me again. nobody in my family is ever going to be able to pressure me to just talk to him already, just move on and let it go. reconcile, forgive, get past it.

(i don’t know how much any of them know. i have never discussed this with my parents or my sister and i never plan to. we’ve talked about some things in vague euphemisms and talked around it even more. when he got out of prison and then when he was done stalking us which he did for a while and got some help i guess and was doing a bit better my sister wanted to reconnect with him and i didn’t. i had panic attacks, i was terrified, i didn’t want anything to do with him and i didn’t want my sister anywhere near him and i remember all my mom had to say to me about that was ‘if it makes you feel any better, i could take him.’ i don’t know what to... i just don’t know.)

i dunno. i don’t know. when i visited my hometown and stayed at my parents’ house (my grandmother’s house, when i say ‘parents’ i mean her and my mom generally) i slept with a knife on my bedside table and a plan of how to get out the window because i’d heard that he’d started dropping by sometimes and i was too scared to sleep otherwise. he terrorized me. i have very few memories from before he went to prison and most of them are of being terrified for my life. of being chased through the house, staying above the garage because for some reason we couldn’t be in the house that night. sexual abuse that i can still barely handle thinking about. he haunts my nightmares regularly, even though i haven’t seen or spoken to him in seven years, didn’t see or talk to him very often before that. i have panic attacks in my sleep dreaming about him, enough that i have to be medicated for it.

he’s a person who was deeply troubled and sick and suffered unimaginably in his life and it’s just.... i know all of that and i just. i don’t know. i hope he’s at peace i guess. i know he never was when he was alive. i know i’m not at peace most of the time, largely because of the shit he did to me. i don’t know. i don’t know. my dad’s dead.

#abuse cw #death cw #i dont know man. i dont even know. #csa mention #very briefly but. yeah. i dunno. #this is heavy sorry #long post

[napping-sapphic]

yo how're you doing?

I just realized I never asked you your ideal date

Like, fancy or cozy? Outside or inside? City or seaside/mountains/lave/cliffs? Ushhh tell us !

Have the nicest of all days!!!

-✨

“Also, would you rather organize a date for your s.o. or having your s.o. organizing it for you?

Forgot to add this question to the date question”

Not to worry as i added it back for you haha😌

I’m doing okay! Not a lot going on lately tbh which is neither good nor bad i suppose! Thanks for asking and I hope you’re doing well too :)!!

This question actually kind of threw me off since I don’t think I’ve ever thought about what an ideal date would be honestly. If it’s an established relationship I’d probably prefer just to stay home and have a day in with them lol - to no one’s surprise.

But if it’s a first date we’d definitely have to go somewhere! It’s a little basic but I love bookstores so that would probably be the most fun place someone could take me though thinking on it I’m not sure how much conversation I’d give if I’m too busy looking at books🤔

Idk! I’m not a very exciting person so I don’t really have an interesting answer to this question lol, I like staying home and going to places in my orbit, I’ve never even been to the seaside/mountains/lava/cliffs lol

I don’t think I have a preference for who organizes it either! I love doing things for other people but I’m also usually the one who has to plan things with my friends so someone else doing it for me would be really nice I think :)

#asks #sorry i dont have anything super detailed for this! #perhaps it’s a cop out but i really think it all depends on the day and who the other person is! #but then again i’d never say no to a day in where we just sort of nap and relax all day so🤷‍♀️ #i also like cant swim and im scared of heights so all those exciting things you listed aren’t really my thing unfortunately #when i tell you guys i am THE most boring person on earth lmao #which i dont think is a bad thing! i enjoy being boring lol a lot of people just get surprised by it #because no i really don’t have many interesting interests or things going on lol #again i feel like my response is boring but i hope it was at least a little bit of what you were looking for haha #💫

[skeletood]

OHHHHH SO MANY THOUGHTS TO SHARE

Holy shit. Probably the hardest I’ve laughed at any of the new seasons releases so far. Absolutely speechless

Hellhole:

- SOOOOO HAPPY to see them riff again it’s so corny and silly

- Beavis gets to hell and his first thought is where all the biker dudes are? interesting interesting *puts this in my notes

-oh my god already some amazing facial expressions

no wonder this dude ends up with so many cracked teeth in the future

- the boys being inexplicably immune to death never gets old to me

- THE DARKNESS PART HAD MY HEAD IN MY HANDS SHUT UP. THANK **GOD** IT WASN’T ANOTHER ESCAPED SNAKE SITUATION DEAR GOD IVE NEVER BEEN HAPPIER FOR A BAIT AND SWITCH

-hehe :] sillies

Overall thoughts: Another great ep this season good job guys, gave me a lot of good little laughs

The video segment was whatever but Arianna’s eye candy so like. All good :]

Take A Bow:

My god. I had absolutely no idea what was going to happen on the way in to this episode and I was NOT prepared for what it gave me and put me through

- already starting the ep strong with some GREAT facial expressions

so fucking real i used to do this to my guy friends when i was their age. not quite enough to put them in the hospital but like. yea lmao

- (monotone) “Take a bow” HAD ME DYINNNNGGGGG

- knowing about all the flavors of mountain dew what a goddamn nerd (knows everything about the different monster flavors)

- “Cherries don’t taste red at ALL. They taste all barfy” little kids complaining about foods they dont like is so silly, thank you for being your childish self its so refreshing

oh man. fuck. its butthead characterization time! finally some good fucking food. oh man here come the waterworks IMAGINE me getting stupid over an emotionally stunted idiot with a big head:

- “not until youre better beavis” first of all shut up. second of all shut up.

- “It’s like, I didn’t mean to hurt him. Feeling bad sucks.” WE KNOW BABY. WE KNOW. SO PROUD OF YOU FOR ADMITTING IT HUN :((((( the fact that bro cant even acknowledge he HAS feelings unless he’s alone. the volumes that speaks to me. man

if you had told me a week ago these were real screenoshots i wouldnt have believed you. at all. cant wait to see the looks on the faces of all the “ohh stop looking so far into it its just a stupid lowbrow cartoon” people like shut the fuck up!!!!! youve clearly never experienced real friendship before and are so pissed off cause u dont know what it looks like

- not pictured here is where they had to forcefully remove butthead from the room bc he was freaking out after thinking he killed beavis. If you disagree youre just wrong sorry!

- not only is this a funny as hell angle but man. we already know damn well he doesn’t want beavis to die but its nice to hear him say it. also he’s right, it was really funny. take a bow :]

- a lot of really good beavis screams this episode too

- BOY. HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT “COVID” IS. MR JUDGE IM STRIKING THAT FROM THE RECORDS BUT YOURE ON THIN FUCKING ICE AKJSDSNA

- “-and his friend would have died of grief shortly there-after” I’m- I need a minute. LIKE WE ALREADY KNEW THIS BUT. THANKS FOR ADMITTING IT. 

- also, god is a whiteman i guess kasjndsajkd

In conclusion: both fucking great episodes. I am always EXTRA excited for Butt-Head characterization moments, it just makes him so much more human. Not to mention how happy I am to see that they toned down his cruelty JUST a touch. I honestly didn’t notice how bad it had gotten last season until i compared it to how this one is going so far, it feels more like older seasons butthead again :] Like dont get me wrong i LOVE it when he’s mean its just who he is but it should come more out of a place of stupidity/no real self awareness than like. idk wherever it was coming from last season. These boys are goin soft on us and to that i say: thank god. It’s nice to see them act human. Take a bow has EASILY taken old man beavis’ place as my favorite ep so far and ngl its going to be tough to beat. Funny episode that had me chuckling throughout the whole thing AND nice Butt-Head moments? Oh Mike, you shouldnt have u///u

Anyways lemme know your thoughts :]

#bnb spoiler tag #skeletalk #AUGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH #basically is what i got from these new eps

[alma-amentet]

I’ve been tagged by @katastronoot @sheirukitriesfandom and @dirty-bosmer (thank you all! 💖) 

This was sitting in my drafts for a while, just forgot to post...

Not tagging anyone ‘cause idk who hasn’t done it yes... Feel free to take if you feel like!

1. are you named after anyone?

Grandma originally named me after her little sister who died in early childhood. She was babysitting and blamed herself for that accident.

But that was too dull, widespread, and didn’t felt mine, so my nomatophobia started progressing. Finally I renamed myself after Fairytopia Barbie. Best friend started calling me Elina in 2008, when I was pretty much into Barbie movies fandom. It stuck, I started telling everyone it was my actual name, even at work. Then finally changed it legally and never regretted. 

Barbie movies is everything, yeah.

2. when was the last time you cried?

One weekend ago.

3. do you have kids?

Nope, and it’s most probable I won’t. Already in my 30s, didn’t start wanting/regretting yet. I like kids, kids are like flowers, but let them bloom in someone else’s garden. 

4. do you use sarcasm a lot?

Not really. Being neurodivergent, I have troubles with a sense of humour in general. Many things feel more offensive than funny to me, and if I try it myself, it might be rather insulting than funny... So only with closer friends, I guess.

5. what sports do you play/have you played?

Drinking games, lol.

Not a fan of sports and competitions. I prefer fitness\wellness, where you don’t have to compete or show off. Never liked team games as well. As a kid, I enjoyed tennis or badminton a bit, but again, just for fun.

I do yoga a bit, would like to excercise more though.

6. what's the first thing you notice about other people?

Style, clothing, hair, accessories. Whether they have some fandom\music\etc merch on. This way I might identify them as the ones like me, the ones worth talking to - at first sight.

I can be generally cautious, even hostile, about people, esp males and elders. And in general, I prefer meeting people online or in some safe spaces / meetups where everyone shares some interests/hobbies/fandoms. It’s easier for me.  

7. eye color?

blue gray. and I do wear color lenses - need them to see things anyway, so why not have fun with colors? Last year I had red ones and wore them casually.

8. scary movies or happy endings?

Happy and clever endings that give you food for thought and make you feel feelings - I’ve been a long time Pixar fan, you know.

There was time I’ve been into mystic horrors, some years ago, but now I’m old and tired even for them. LIfe is a dystopia by itself, I need more kind stuff.

(don’t watch movies much these days, I prefer games).

9. any special talents?

Some say I am outstanding and bold,and that I have great creative potential, and that I inspire some people just by being myself... IDK.

10. where were you born?

a city in the mountains

11. what are your hobbies?

I’m a a self-taught seamstress, I’ve been sewing most of my life (because I always loved creating things myself & from my very childhood wanted some unusual clothes that couldn’t be purchased in regular stores). At times, I took comissions, then were 5 years of cosplaying.

I’m into corsetry (waist-training and making corsets myself).

And drawing, of course.

12. do you have any pets?

Nope. Used to have an aquarium in the past.

13. how tall are you?

5’7″ (170 cm) 

14. fave subject in school?

Biology (just in elem and mid, then it became too complex), english. 

I was also one of the best in literature, but I didn’t like it at all. Just figured out how to get exc grades and did it for the sake of being praised. 

15. dream job?

Illustrator, artist.

[lexi-the-twilight-dragon]

So my brain thought up this game while I slept the other night, and I don’t know what else to do with it other than to post it here.

It’s a 3D survival game, visually similar to Last of Us, Red Dead Redemption and A Way Out, and being co-op like the latter. I have never played any of those games (and have no intention to; not my cup of tea) and honestly had to look up the name of one of them, so I have no idea why my brain came up with this.

(Also, brains are prone to weird jumps in logic while dreaming, so bear with me)

The Story:

A class of high-schoolers (probably seniors, idk how the American school system works) take a school trip up to a mountainous forest reserve for a project of some kind. Everyone has to be in pairs so no one gets left behind, and somehow star footballer Connor gets paired up with “just-trying-to-survive-til-I-graduate” Michael.

Something is very not right with this forest. There are shacks that should be long abandoned and derelict but have signs of being lived in, or never being abandoned at all. Trails vanish under your feet without you noticing until you’re way off course. Old men passing by tell tales of people going missing without trace. There’s no birdsong, or any animal noises, at all.

Connor and Michael get very, very lost. The sun is going down. There’s no sign of a search party. Connor is sure they’ll be fine. His uncle Joshua is a ranger up here, and the school wouldn’t just abandon two of its students on a mountain, right? Michael, used to having no one looking out for him, starts to prepare to at least survive the night.

And that’s when things go to shit, because there’s a cult on this mountain. I don’t know what kind of cult, because frankly I’ve never been a religious person, but they’re there, and they want these boys, dead or alive. So said boys fucking run, and manage to lose them, but become even more lost in the process.

The sun rises. There’s still no sign of rescue. They didn’t have a lot of supplies to begin with, and now they’ve got even less. There’s a literal cult trying to kill them. If they’re gonna survive out here, they’re gonna have to get serious, and they’re gonna have to trust each other.

So it goes for a few days. They search for food and water, they try to find safe places to hide and shelter, they steal shit from the shacks (when the cultists aren’t there), they run/hide/defend themselves from cultists and the unaffiliated serial killer who apparently didn’t die when he fell off a cliff into the lake 30 years ago and has been picking off trail-walkers since (he was one of the old men earlier), they try to find ways to help rescuers find them without tipping off the cultists to their location, they look out for each other, they tend to each other’s wounds, and they start to open up to each other.

Connor puts himself under a lot of pressure to be the popular jock, to be the son that his dad wants. He’s gotten physically hurt playing football, and been told to suck it up and keep going, so much that he’s stopped telling people when he’s hurting. He’s literally bleeding through his shirt and can’t put too much weight on one leg, but he’s fine, really, no really, he’s fine, stop worrying about it, it’s nothing, he’s fine, shut up. He comes off as selfish from the jock persona, but he physically cannot put himself and his own needs first.

Michael doesn’t speak much, and it isn’t because he doesn’t want to. It’s that any time he tries to, he’s punished for it. He doesn’t ask for help because he’s never given it. He doesn’t speak up for himself because that gets him called a liar by adults and beat up by teens. He doesn’t give his all anymore, because it’s never good enough anyway. He doesn’t have friends, because no one stays around him for long. He has no plans for the future, because they’ll only fall through. He just does what he can to make it through another day, and today, that means keeping him and Connor alive.

One day, it’s lightly but steadily raining, and they’re huddled in a ditch under a blanket they’ve stolen. Despite the constant danger, the ache of barely healing injuries, and the fact they’re both grimy as hell by now, it’s… nice. Almost serene. Connor asks if he can admit something important to Michael. Michael gives the go-ahead.

Connor comes out as a transgirl to Michael. She’s terrified of admitting it to anyone, her dad, family, friends, god forbid the school and football team. Everything her life is is wrapped up in being a boy. But for all she knows, she could die later today. Her life, right now, is being with Michael, and even if he rejects her for it, she wants him to know.

Michael accepts her in a heartbeat. He’s antisocial, not an asshole. He hugs her, and asks if there’s a name she’d like him to call her. Connor is henceforth referred to as Vanessa for the rest of the game.

Michael then asks if he can admit something important to Vanessa. Vanessa gives the go-ahead. Michael says that he used to think he was gay, but as of two minutes ago, he’s gonna have to change that to bi. It takes five seconds for the penny to drop. There’s no pressure, he hurries to add. She kisses him anyway.

Realising they’re both hopped up on adrenaline (and probably teenager hormones), they agree to work all of that out when they aren’t fighting for their lives.

There’s a boss fight against the serial killer in a thunderstorm, up on the same cliffs from 30 years ago. Michael gets a grapple on him, but gets pushed to the ground and slashed in the side pretty badly by the old man’s knife. Before he can finish the job, Vanessa gets his attention, and shoots him with a shotgun. Yeah, he definitely didn’t survive that fall into the lake. She got a headshot.

Michael’s losing a lot of blood from the slash, so if they aren’t rescued soon, he might not make it. Vanessa tries to carry him to shelter, but is hindered by her injured leg, which Michael is groggily prioritising over himself despite her command to shut up. She finally finds an outcrop of the cliffs, and it takes literally everything (i.e. all relevant supplies in the inventory) to stifle Michael’s bleeding. The blood trail washes away in the heavy rain.

The next morning, they’re found. Vanessa freaks out and grabs the shotgun again, only to realise that it’s her uncle Joshua. She tries to tell him all that’s happened, with the cultists and the serial killer, but he doesn’t believe her, thinking “he” and “his” friend just left the trail for kicks and got lost. Joshua picks up a semi-conscious Michael, and starts to take the two back down the mountain.

After a short while, Vanessa stops, and pulls her shotgun on Joshua again.

See, something that’s been subtly hinted at all game is that the symbol of the cultists (I don’t know jack about cultists, so don’t ask me what the symbol is) has been mildly familiar to Vanessa, but she couldn’t put her finger on why. Now she does.

It’s tattooed on Joshua’s neck, just hidden under his uniform collar.

Joshua tries to tell her she’s being paranoid, she’s scared from being stuck here so long, there are no cultists, put the gun down.

He just found two lost, starving, badly injured teenagers, Vanessa tells him, and he hasn’t reached for his radio to call backup. So something’s up.

Joshua’s got backup, alright. Just not the type she’d been hoping for, as the cultists step out from the trees, in broad daylight this time. She can’t pull the trigger without hurting Michael, so she’s quickly overwhelmed and taken hostage too.

Joshua explains that he and “Connor’s” mother were born into this generations-old cult, but her mother “betrayed the faith” and went to live a normal life. Joshua pretended to join her, but instead used his job as ranger to “overlook” the cult establishing themselves on the reserve, as well as the old man.

They’d intentionally disoriented Vanessa and Michael and got them separated from their class, so they could “reconnect the bloodline” by encompassing “the eldest son” into their ranks, using Michael as a sacrifice to appease their god for “Connor’s” mother’s “transgressions”.

Michael has woken up enough to hear all of this, and our protagonists have both. Had. Enough.

Cue escape plan from the cultists’ hideout, followed by a boss fight with Joshua. I don’t really remember how this one played out, I think I was getting close waking up at this point. Regardless, it occurs to the two teenagers that while Joshua could get away with hiding a stealthy cult on this reserve, a forest fire would grab a lot more attention from the actual authorities. It’s too wet to start a real one, what with the heavy storm last night, but since the cultists know where they are anyway, it can’t hurt to use the more drastic attention-seeking methods.

(Don’t ask me where they got the fireworks. Probably the same place they got the shotgun)

So yeah, the real rescue turns up, Joshua is exposed, most of the cultists are arrested (and those that got away will be tracked down), and the teens get taken to the ambulances which freaks Vanessa out because she now understandably has some trust issues and doesn’t want to be separated. Michael almost outs her by calling her name but manages to stop himself and call “him” Ness instead (I haven’t played Earthbound either). He promises her that they’re gonna be okay now, they’re safe, and as soon as he’s stitched up he’s coming to see her in her hospital room. Not if she comes to him first, she says.

Flash forward to a few months later. Michael pulls up to Vanessa’s house. He’s dressed in a suit of bisexual colours. It is very obviously prom night. The front door opens. It hasn’t been very long, so her hair is only a few inches longer, and she’s still built like a footballer, but nonetheless Vanessa looks beautiful in her prom dress. Well, pant-dress. She wasn’t that brave.

She’s been more than brave enough, Michael says, leaning up to kiss her forehead (She’s taller than him).

The Script’s “Never Seen Anything (Quite Like You)” plays over the credits.

On that note, I think I’m calling this game You Never Saw Anything. It works, doesn’t it?

Anyway, I can’t design for garbage, and my art skills aren’t much better, so that’s all I got. Hope you enjoyed.

the ghouls as pokemon

with a couple that are specifically ones that would be really good nicknames 

@sphylor​ and i had a lot of thoughts yesterday lmao

Dew (fire)

so dew was 1 of the 2 that started this, and i think it sets the mood for the whole post

fennekin: both sphy and i would die for fennec fox dew, it’s only natural that dew would be fennekin. this one has superb nicknameability too

litten: there isn’t much specific reasoning for litten, but just look at the little dude. that’s dew

alolan marowak/cubone: if alolan cubone actually existed it would be perfect for dew, but alas. but in the end, both cubone and marowak fit dew pretty well so they’re both here

Dew (water)

seadra: a tiny angry seahorse? if that’s not era 3 dew idk what is

dewgong: dewgong is more specifically for the nickname since it has dew in the name, but honestly the guy’s growing on me. definitely a certain time and place where dewgong would apply, but i can see it

Rain

so i said that dew was 1 of the 2 to start this whole thing but really rain was the first

oshawott: and by rain was the first, really i mean that comparing rain to oshawott was what caused this. look at him. he and rain are one in the same. change my mind

vaporeon: rain’s frilly sleeves. water themed puppy. that’s all the explanation you need

polliwag: also more specifically a nickname, but this one hasn’t really gone past a nickname. If you aren’t convinced that polliwag is a banging nickname though, just imagine someone calling rain polliwag with the utmost affection in their voice. that’s what really drew me in

Mountain

also an earlier one, aka the only ghoul besides dew and rain that an assignment came naturally rather than me scouring the pokedex, mountain’s pokemon honestly appeal to the 2 headcanons for him (deer-like and goat-like) that i’ve seen the most

sawsbuck: so the headcanon that mountain grows different plants near his horns depending on his mood/emotion or based on if someone says a plant name has been going around a lot and sawsbuck being able to change antler decorations matches that so well. i love sawsbuck for mountain

gogoat: i mean come on. i couldn’t resist with the name. plus gogoat fits mountain visually so well? it was made for him.

Aether

i’m not gonna lie, aether was a hard one. i looked through the entire pokedex and couldn’t find one that REALLY spoke to me. but i thought about it and thought of a pretty good fit, imo

greavard: i had to think if greavard really fit for a second but with the reasoning i came to i honestly think it fits pretty well. aether’s a big, scary looking dude with a terrifying power, but he’s the biggest gentle giant ever. just like the giant ghost dog that follows you around for love and also maybe possibly sucks the life out of you

nidorino: so i originally had nidorino for omega but then i read something where omega mentored aether and taught him everything he knows, so aether got nidorino and omega, well, you can probably guess. you’ll see him in a second anyway

Swiss

trying to work out what area of pokemon i wanted to do for the multi ghouls took a minute. i wanted something that reflected a combination of elements, but also that fit their personalities, but i think i got it narrowed down pretty well

tauros: tauros is also one that doesn’t have much explanation. i just looked at it and went “yeah, that’s swiss”

luxray: so when i was thinking elementally about what types the multi ghouls would be, i figured electric went really well. it’s got the heat and burn of fire, the impetus of a storm, and natural electric currents from the ground and everything. so then i got to the big, confident, electricity cat and i mean. that fits swiss quite well

sandile: there was a little voice in the back of my head telling me that sandile is swiss. i tried ignoring it because it doesn’t really have the grandiose-ness that swiss has but in the end the voice won out. i have no reasoning. he just is

Cirrus

idk man, articuno just has very confident vibes to me and cirrus is a very confident person. they just match

Cumulus

i had 2 very different ideas for cumulus and had to let both be shown

dragonair: cumulus is very elegant and ethereal, and i feel like dragonair embodies that pretty well

wooloo: so @/thelampisaflashlight (idk if they would want to be tagged) has the concept of the ghouls having imps/imp forms, and cumulus’s is just a giant sheep-like thing. call it divine inspiration if you’d like

Sunshine

sunshine was honestly the easiest of the ghoulettes for me to pair. i already had the electric type thing established, then everything else just came naturally

mareep: like i said, i think electric types fit multi ghouls, so at this point it was just finding one that fit for sunshine’s personality. so she gets the tiny sheep. just look at it, it’s adorable

lillipup: this one from the start was both a she is lillipup and lillipup makes a fantastic nickname. yet another one with little explanation, lillipup just fits sunshine

Omega

so i said that omega was initially nidorino, but i ended up shifting it to where omega is nidoking. i think it’s a really neat parallel for omega to have the bigger/evolved version of aether’s pokemon if we’re following the mentor idea

Ifrit

i didn’t even realize until making the pictures to put each ghoul’s pokemon together, ifrit’s are all cats. really speaks to how he acts on stage

growlithe: ifrit has this kind of innocent feel about him, and i’ve seen him portrayed as more of a teenager for ghouls a lot. and growlithe is a young, innocent, bold little guy

pyroar: speaking more to the showiness of ifrit, pyroar is intense and has a tinge of flamboyance, like ifrit

torracat: i also didn’t realize until putting the pictures together that i gave ifrit the pokemon that one of dew’s evolves into. i initially gave ifrit torracat just because it seemed right, but the symbolism in that coincidence and their line of succession? borderline poetic

Alpha

i wish i had more to say reasoning wise, but houndoom is another “he just is.” both alpha and houndoom have a big presence, they’re threatening, it just makes sense

Mist

yet another it just makes sense, glaceon just IS mist. they’re small but have a lot of power and sass. i love them

#nameless ghouls #the band ghost #this is a formal invitation for people to make fanwork of the ghouls and pokemon in some way #fanfic where they use themed nicknames #art where theyre trainers #anything and everything #and please add more suggestions and assignments if you think of any this is by no means a complete list
