New Ask Game to Hype Up Fic Writers!!
This is intended to be geared towards other people's work, not that of the person opening their Ask Box. There are plenty of Ask Games for people who are promoting their own writing, and while that is wonderful, I wanted to make one specifically for complimenting other writers!
Really good OC a writer has come up with
Terrible OC (In terms of, like, villains. We're being positive today!)
Headcanon you've adopted from a writer
Great Angst Fic
Great Fluff Piece
Interesting AU
Specific Line that has stuck with you
Specific Scene that has stuck with you
Amazing Title/Chapter Title
Fic(s) you would/did create fanart for
Memorable Ending
Memorable Beginning
A detail from canon that was expanded upon
Fic(s) you reread a LOT
Fic(s) that inspired you to write
Author you give the most unhinged comments to and why
Author you give sweet/sincere comments to and why
Fic(s) that keep you up at night (Either reading or thinking about)
Fic(s) you bookmarked (Maybe forgot about) and then were really happy you saved
Fic(s) you used to reward yourself (ie: "When I finish this chore/homework/task then I can read that")
Fic(s) you would/have forced someone else to read
Fic(s) you could do a whole PowerPoint Presentation on
An unfinished/updating fic that is totally worth the wait
An older fic that you still commented on/saved
A fun writer quirk you've noticed (Specific word(s) they repeat, detailed setting description, a lot of adjectives, trope they write really well, etc.)
Feel free to use, if you'd like! I hope you have a good day :)

I just fucking realised, I'm pretty sure I remembered that it was hinted that the reason why the Eggs disappeared was to protect themselves/hide from something evil on the island.
Considering how it seems the Codes might be linked to their disappearance, it might be possible that the eggs are being protected by the code somehow ???
Maybe it's why the spaceships have been appearing with photos of the eggs, because the codes are trying to communicate to the islanders that the eggs are safe ?????
In fact it would also explain why the black concrete somehow allows the eggs to communicate to the Islanders, it's possible the Code allowed it. Similar motives to the photos, it was done to calm the Islanders down.
Because as much as I want to believe the black concrete is related to Cucurevil, the big Etoiles fight had a bunch of black concrete even surrounding the chest where he retrieved his shield.
Of course there is the question of why the fuck did the Codes kill the eggs if they're gonna protect them but like it wouldn't be the first time they do contradicting things.
It would also pose the question of again what is the third evil thing on the island and why Cucurevil seems to have access to the Egg's accessories.
Which I want to say even if Cucurevil DID take the eggs it still wouldn't make sense because we see they have their accessories in the photos.
In the end what I want to say is...
What if bringing the eggs back actually puts them in more danger ?

I get very tired of dealing with people who are so busy being "practical" that they're just totally prescriptive
I tend to be, I think, a fairly pragmatic person. Like most years I spend about... maybe $50 on myself for the whole year (this year is going to be a bit higher, but there's also specific utility to what I'm spending it on). I tend to not bother buying myself snacks, cause I know I'm mostly hungry, and if I'm hungry real food is a better deal (I sadly tend to fail to get ahold of the real food either)
My point is that I tend to be very goal oriented (not in a ladder climbing way, in a I set goals and then work towards them kinda way), I tend to be very focused on what will push my situations into being sustainable, I tend to look for high efficiency, low cost, long term solutions
I was... I was talking to that friend I'll say is Dr Jekyll and Mr Dumbass (I was more trying to talk to my dad, but they were both there). It was definitely Mr Dumbass today
For one thing, he was already saying a bunch of really fucking dumb shit where... it's so stupid I'm not even going to repeat it, where it's like the answer for why we don't do that is because it's obviously a moronically stupid idea on top of being immoral, and also totally ineffective you dipshit
So I already wasn't in the mood for him
Then, while talking about visiting my grandma, I mention how in order to start cooking I need sharp knives, none of my knives are sharp (cause my mom's a fool and dulls them all), and how it would really help if I could just take a knife from my grandma since she doesn't cook anymore and just... keep it as my personal knife that I keep sharp
(I can't do this, cause my grandma is... bug fuck crazy, and legit believes that if you gift someone a knife they'll kill people with it which like... where do you even get that idea, like she has literally said before that she'd give money to buy a knife but wouldn't give one as a gift... what?)
Anyway, Mr Dumbass starts going on about how I can just buy a new knife, and it's like no... in your quest for objective practicality you've lost all pragmatism
I don't need to buy a new knife, I need to learn to sharpen knives which... which I just have a bit of a block on cause I've had trouble figuring out how to sharpen stuff so far (I've come to suspect that which of the hard and soft stones you use first and second isn't intuitive and I've been trying to hone with the sharpening stone and sharpen with the honing stone)
Like... to get mean for just a slight moment, shut your fool mouth, you've got more money than I've ever even touched, and while you were poor at one point when you were younger you've clearly forgot, and not everyone can just buy stuff
Also you're saying a bunch of dumb shit tonight with such confidence and it's pissed me off
He's capable of being a very very smart and compassionate person, and then other times he's a damn fool, and far too often he... he talks about practicality without actually understanding how to be practical
Being practical requires working in the confines of reality
...I don't know, I don't think I have all the words I need to explain what I'm saying, but the point is he's annoyed me and people who act like him annoy me where it's like... nothing matters in the end other than if you actually solve something
You can talk all day about what someone "should do", but what matters is what they will do
So it gets frustrating talking with my family with him cause he has all this ideas where it's like... that functionally won't work, and like some of his great ideas are how I can just wait for my grandma to die and get the knife then and it's like... yeah... but I need a knife now dummy, and I have knives, and which is more useful?
Dropping a pretty penny on a new knife, or finishing learning a skill I really fucking need badly and that makes it so I can sharpen things for next to free forever?
...I'm just tired of having to do everything myself and getting no help, that's all. How about you shut your fucking mouth, stop trying to offer advice that's worse than my plans I'm already slowly turning the gears on making happen, and just let me bitch about my idiot relatives?
Laughing at this fool antics when he chooses to do that, legitimately is more helpful than any attempts to help
