Romantic headcanons with lil ol hobie
Absolutely 🫡
Romantic Headcanons with Hobie Brown — ★
I don’t think you guys would go out for dates I think a lot of the time it’s hanging out in each others room
Like he’s strumming his guitar and you’re studying or drawing whatever JUST YES
I think he’d definitely prefer that than taking you out to a fancy restaurant or smth like that
Maybe even movie nights?
Random thought but a little self care night 🤭
Maybe face masks (which he was reluctant to do but you made him anyway), painting each others nails, etc etc
Not really self care but him helping you dye your hair!!! Can’t get that thought out of my head
OMG SHOPPING WITH HIM!! You dragging him shopping and he acts like he doesn’t wanna be there but he actually kinda likes helping you pick out stuff
Don’t even get me started on you making him carry all of your bags or you showing off to him in the dressing room 👀
UGH OMG I HAD A CUTE THOUGHT!! One time he watched you do your makeup and he wanted to learn how to do eye liner
So you taught him one day and he likes doing eye liner every now and again
Maybe you were on his lap and did it for him one day! (He wouldn’t let you do a full face of makeup on him though 😔)
Likes picking out jewelry for your outfits
If you guys are opposites I can see a lot of playful arguments about each others music tastes
He definitely likes at least one song you showed him but wont admit it cause he’s stubborn!
If we’re gonna talk about physical touch I’d say he likes it just definitely not in public
Maybe a hand on your shoulder sometimes but other than that I’m not sure
In private though he’s always leaning his head on your shoulder or putting his head on yours
Likes to tease and make fun of you
Jokingly ofc he’d never let it go too far
He issss in a band so ofc you’re going to almost every performance of his
Veryyy protective when it comes to his job and you
Doesn’t like letting you come to fights with him or trying to help cause he’s terrified you’re going to get hurt
If you’re also a spider person you guys make a rlly good duo
He’s just a really laid back guy in general so he doesn’t raise his voice at you
Maybe on accident a few times but he always apologizes ofc
He’s respectful 🫡
OMG RANDOM BUT NAPPING TOGETHER
WHEWWW imagine you both got done with a fight and you just need to rest so you take a nap together! Or if you’re not a spider person then you both had a hard day and wanted to take a nap together
I don’t think he gets jealous thaaat easily. Like someone would have to be THROWING themselves at you and he’ll step in.
He wouldn’t be starting fights or drama honestly I think he’d just wrap an arm around your waist and walk away with you
I think he’ll go on random tangents about stuff he’s interested in or even abt stuff he doesn’t like 😭
You’re just listening to him like “yeah totally” because he’s talking so fast
He’s proud of your guy’s relationship and he’s caught himself talking about you a lot to his friends
He tries to shut up before they say anything but they’re already teasing him
BUT ID SAY OVERALL he’s just a really chill dude who likes spending time with his partner :)
Tumblr media
All I can think of rn so I hope you enjoyed! and ty for all the requests I’ll be working on them all day <3 🫡

hi <3 id like to request a neteyam x reader if that’s ok :)
maybe it could be a human reader and she has a phone and he asks about it and she just kind of shows him social media (e.g tiktok) and the phone and whatever? anything along those lines would be great. hopefully that make sense, thank you 💗
hi :) thank you sm for requesting, this was really fun writing. I thought this concept was so cute and funny, I hope you enjoy this story <3
warnings: none just fluff
Tumblr media
Cuter Than Me?
After what felt like hours tending to the wounded who came back from the train carriers (idk what to call that scene), I was exhausted. I healed the last wounded and started walking back to my pod where I shared a home with the rest of the humans who were allowed and welcomed to stay with the Omaticaya clan. I got back and saw Lo’ak, Spider, and Kiri in the lab. 
“Hey (y/n)!” Kiri said cheerfully, they all turned to greet me. “Hey guys” i answered back, I turned to Lo’ak and hit him on the head not hard, but enough to hurt, “Hey what was that for (y/n)” he asked while rubbing his head, “that's for putting your brother in danger, what the hell were you thinking?” I scolded him. 
“I’m sorry okay, please don’t scold me, I heard enough of it from dad already.” he looked down. I know how overbearing Jake can be on him so I decided to just let it go, “Okay okay but promise me you’ll be more careful, speaking of careful, are you okay?” I placed my hand on his shoulder and looked at him searching for any open wounds. 
He chuckled lightly “I’m fine (y/n), and yes, I promise to be more careful, and don't worry your boyfriend is just fine.” he says referring to his older brother with a playful smirk. I hear Kiri and Spider laughing, I feel my face heat up, “Shut up Lo’ak he is not my boyfriend,” I reply, yes he was but they didn’t need to know that. Me and Neteyam decided to keep us private for now. “Yeah, not yet” Kiri says and they all start to laugh.
I roll my eyes ``Whatever you guys have fun, I’m gonna go lay down playing eywa today was very exhausting.” I say while exiting the lab. I finally made it to my room and changed out of my dirty clothes and finally landed on my bed with huff. I saw my phone on my night stand and decided to go on it. 
I was scrolling mindlessly until I heard my bedroom door open. As soon as I recognized who it was I felt a smile creep up on my face, “Neteyam” I said in a soft tone, “Hi my love” he smiled and replied. I got up and greeted him with a warm hug. It didn't last long because I pulled back examining his body for any wounds. He chuckled lightly and held my hands “I’m okay my love, I promise” 
I squeezed his hands and replied “thank eywa, I’m sorry, I’m just worried I heard what happened at the train wreck with your brother.” He nods and chuckles “News sure does travel fast, I don’t want to remember that though, I just want to be with my girl right now” he gently takes my face into my hands and kisses my lips softly.
 I yelp in surprise as he lifts me up and walks us to my bed. He falls down onto my bed and I land on top of him, I laugh and peck his lips once more before crawling off of him even though he protested for me not to. I didn’t want to either, but I didn’t want anyone walking in on us in that position. 
We were cuddling and playing around with each other on my bed when my phone started to ring. The vibration from my phone vibrated my bed and startled Neteyam, he immediately jumped off my bed, dragging me with him. He puts me behind him and prepares himself to fight the unknown “danger” he thought we were in. I soon realized his reasoning behind his actions and started to laugh uncontrollably. 
He looked at me as if I was crazy. “What are you doing, stay behind me, I don't want you to get hurt baby” he said with concern and anxiousness evident in his voice. I took his face in my hands “Nete you’re so cute” I said while laughing. His hard gaze softens, he looked so cute, he was confused and so fidgety looking around for the “danger”. 
I took one of my hands from his face and placed it in his hands, I said “Nete we are not in any danger, okay? No one is coming to hurt me or you, that sound and vibration was from my phone.” I reassured him in a slow and calm tone so he’d understand, I could see him relax, but he still seemed confused. 
I walked us back to my bed and brought my phone to him. “It came from this” he looked at it, I offered him to take it, he stared at the phone and hesitated but took it from my hands. Due to the movement my screen turned on, illuminating the picture of me and Neteyam on my lock screen. He smiled “Hey thats me and you, I remember this photo, I have the same one in my room” I smiled widely at his confession. 
I could tell he had more questions. “What is it used for?” he asked, “It’s mostly used for communication, but you can use it for all sorts of stuff. Like taking photos, researching, and connecting with other people.” I explained while he listened intently. “How come I’ve never seen you use it before?” he asked, “Well for it to properly work you need wifi, and on Pandora wifi is only in our human pods, so I don't take it out much since it would be pretty useless.”
For the next 2 hours we spent in my room I taught him more about my phone. Exploring the apps I had on my phone and taking about one million selfies with each other, some with him kissing my cheek, me sticking my tongue out at him, and making funny faces at each other. 
The sparkle in his eyes every time he’d learned something new brought me pure joy. he tried playing flappy bird but he never made it far, his little pout made me giggle, he handed me the phone and told me to try every time I beat my high score he would throw a fit and whine “baby you’re cheating,” I laughed “Nete it’s just a game, you’ll get use to it and beat me eventually”
He was lying on his back exploring more apps while I lay on top of him drawing random shapes into his chest. He opened tiktok, music immediately started to play and my screen displayed a human boy lip syncing. Neteyam frowned and looked at me “Who is this boy on your phone?” He showed me.
I smiled, “this app is called tiktok, it's an app where you make short videos to entertain people,” I explained. His eyebrows furrowed and looked at the boy on the screen “You find him entertaining?” jealousy dripped from his voice, I decided to tease him “Yeah, he is cute” I said playfully. 
He could tell I was joking from my tone, he turned off my phone and threw it near my pillows. He smiled mischievously “Oh is that right my love?” he asked in a teasing tone, I smiled and nodded in response. I giggled as he flipped us over, he was now on top, inching his face closer and closer to mine. His breath fanned over my face as he asked “Cuter than me?” as I slowly shake my head my nose bumps into his.
I stared at every inch of his beautiful face, every white freckle, every scar, his smile and every light blue mark on his face. I caress his right cheek with my hand and he leans into it making me smile. “No Nete, never cuter than you.”

I think you can see a genuine loss of craft and storytelling integrity in the Spider-Man reboots over the years.
Tobey Maguire has NO ONE to talk to about being Spider-Man until MJ in 3. His inner conflict is conveyed entirely through sparsely used narration, cleverly written scenes, dream sequences. Think of how many ideas in the trilogy are delivered through striking images.
Tumblr media
Andrew Garfield has Gwen to talk to. When he can't talk to her, he writes his innermost thoughts on a... vision board or something?
Tumblr media
It's goddamn stupid, but then, Garfield is the canonically dumb Spider-Man who needs Gwen to explain science shit to him. Fucker.
Fucking everyone knows Tom Holland is Spider-Man and loves talking to him about every little thing he's going through. He's got an AI, he's got Happy, he's got Tony, he's got Ned, he's got Aunt May, he's got... her, and he's even got Mysterio. Nothing is conveyed through filmatism or subtext, it's all just plainly rendered talking head dialogue tossed under hand to the audience without any nuance because anything more complicated would take time and money they're either unable or unwilling to commit.
Tumblr media
I would say they're not even trying to communicate with the audience, they're trying to obscure a lack of ideas at the core of their story. Far From Home, Mysterio wants to be an Avenger. What does he intend to do when he's an Avenger? How does he intend to cope when an actual, non-hoax threat shows up? Are there even any Avengers for him to join? Why is being an Avenger a glamorous and desirable position in this movie, but in TFAWS, it's an unpaid internship that doesn't net Sam any respect or goodwill?
This vapidity is all papered over with a bunch of bantery dialogue in an attempt to distract from how paper-thin the plot really is. And in case you think I'm being overly harsh, remember the conflict in No Way Home is that five villains don't want to be cured of their afflictions or have their lives saved. They're fighting to stop Spider-Man from helping them. Their motivation is I guess just to stay on an alien world where they have no friends or resources or even government ID, and where superheroes who can beat them up are plentiful, to, uh... hang out with each other? Seriously, what does Doc Ock's endgame look like if he succeeds in killing Spider-Man, which he's trying to do for most of the movie?
You don't know because, ha ha, Zendaya said his name is stupid. That's a better thing to spend time on than the antagonist's goal or motivation.
Seriously, what does Norman Osborn's characterization amount to besides "he's kk-razy"? Raimiverse Norman wanted to make Peter his heir out of disappointment with his own son. What is MCU Norman trying to accomplish? He's the main character besides Peter and you can't tell me; he's just doing random shit because the plot demands it.

So since I want to do more animations (specifically spider-man swinging), I wanted an easier way to do storyboards/layout without drawing perspective cause im lazy. SO i saw some ATSV boards that used google earth screenshots, however i couldnt figure out how he was getting the angle on it that he wanted? like, every time i opened google earth i felt like it was fighting me and i just couldnt figure it out (maybe im mentally an old man)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
You may ask, "why not just stretch out the cubes and make the city yourself??" Well. I'm lazy. but eventually i found a slightly different way of doing it, basically by importing 3D google earth data into blender.
youtube
and now thats even better than screenshots cause i could animate the camera! and i could have a better understanding of the layout cause im too dumb to keep that in my head! i can just grab a chunk of the earth and plunk it into blender! its ugly, but i could theoretically "trace" it with clean cubes for the close buildings and let the farther ones be as janky as they want.
Tumblr media
this also works for pretty much any part of the earth, so if i really wanted to I could pull in the grand canyon or mount everest or anything that has 3D data on it. i pulled a chunk of my neighborhood in which was kind've uncanny. its tempting to post a pic of that too but id rather not doxx myself, even if there would be about 3 polygons defining my house

id sell my soul for you to write nikki and neil ganging up on max >:3
No need to sell your soul goul! I gotch you!
Say it!
Tumblr media
Lee: Max
Ler: Nikki & Neil
Summary: Nikki and Neil had enough with Max just insulting them and decided to finally do something about it!(Takes place before s5)
——————————————— “Eugh! Max you reek of coffee!” Neil complained causing Max to growl back
“Yeah, I need it so I can deal with your bullshit!”
“Shhhh! Guys I’m trying to listen to what Terrence is trying to say!” Nikki shushed the boys cupping her hands around a fly and holding it up to her ear
It was a relatively hot day at Camp Campbell. Nikki, Neil, and Max laid in the grass that had been warmed up by the sun. David and Gwen thought it would be a good idea to give the campers a free day. (It totally wasn’t because Gwen didn’t wake up on time and David couldn’t think of anything to do for the day)
“Okay! Good bye Terrance!…. Yeah I can’t speak fly..” Nikki sighed
“I thought having a free day would be fun or something, I’m just bored!” Neil whined.
“Shhh! I’m trying sun bathe!” Max whipped out a pair of sun glasses and put them over his eyes.
“Sun bathing in a hoodie and jeans?”
“Guys did you hear that? I could have sworn I heard an annoying pussy start talkin” Max said with sarcasm
“Don’t call me a pussy Max!”
“I’ll call you what ever I want!”
“Can I call you stuff too Neil?” Nikki interrupted
“Nikki how about you go speak with the animals, you Snow White wanna be!” Max grumped
“Hey! I don’t even like Snow White!” Nikki frowned
“Max quit being such a dick!” Neil stated
“That’s funny, if you get to call me a dick then I get to call you a pussy!” Max crossed his arms
“I didn’t mean it like that!” Neil started to get annoyed with all the bickering.
Max, Neil, and Nikki broke out into an argument between all of them for different reasons, but it was mostly all traced back to Max. Neil pushed first
“Max your so annoying!”
“Don’t push me!” Max pushed back
“Ugh! This is exactly what I mean!” Neil and Max wrestled on the ground bumping into Nikki and pulling her into the fight as well.
“Let go!”
“Ow stop!”
“Hey!”
“GET OFF!”
“AUGH!”
Nikki and Neil both caught each others eyes and nodded their head, ganging up on Max and pinning him down.
“Hey! No fair!” Max gritted his teeth
“Stop calling me a pussy!”
“Stop calling me Snow White!”
“Get off me!!” Max growled
Now Max was pissed, this was just ridiculous! He squirmed underneath them but could get free. Nikki had pinned his shoulders to the ground while Neil unintentionally held his sides down.
“Stop callin us names! And say sorry!” Neil compromised
“This is outrageous!” Max groaned
“Now!” Neil readjusted his grip squeezing Maxs sides
“GAH! NEIL!” Max jumped
“What?”
“Don’t doho- that!”
“Do what?”
“Eh? Whatever you just did!”
Neil thought and squeezed Maxs sides again.
“Stohop! I mean it!”
“Max your ticklish?”
“Shut up!” Max blurted embarrassed
“What, can’t handle when I do this?” Neil teased squeezing Maxs sides over and over again. Max almost lost it. He tried to stifle any giggles trying to escape but Nikki was already starting to pin his arms
“GaHAha!” Max finally broke letting all the pent up giggles spill.
Neil moved up to his ribs to try to get a better reaction. Spidering between every rib and vibrating his fingers, Max was losing it.
“EHAHAhehaHA! NEHEhil!!”
“What?”
“QUHIhihit it!” Max bucked
“Say sorry!” Neil let up
“I- hihi- don’t say (inhale) sohorry!”
“Is that so? Nikki, help me out!” Neil smirked down at Max watching the smug in his eyes drain.
“I’d be glad too!” Nikki chirped, instead of hold his hands up she used her legs to pin them down, making her hands free. She giggled looking at Max wiggling her fingers, she swore she heard Max whine.
“Fuck!” Max let out his last words before Neil went back to his ribs and Nikki went right above his armpit. Teasing and tickling his upper arms instead. Luck for Max, Nikki couldn’t get under his hoodie like Neil.
“THISIS ihis STUPIHihihid!!”
“Just say sorry Max!”
“Yeah! Before I get you!” Nikki wiggled her hands in front of Maxs eyes. ‘That’s right, fuck!’ Max remembered, Nikki knew Max was ticklish, she knew all his spots.
“So are you gonna say sorry or not?” Neil stoped for a second.
“s-sohohorry…..YOUR STILL A PUSSY!!” Max insulted
“Oh that’s it-” Neil was cut off by Max laughing hysterically.
“GAHAHA! NIHIHIKIII!! FUHAHAHACK!!” Max scrunched up his neck at best he could, but he could not escape Nikki’s fast fingers.
“Nikki how did you-”
“DAHAHMNIT!!!”
“That’s not all! Look how he reacts when I get his ears!” Nikki quickly changed spots, Max squealed.
“SHIHIHIHIT!!” Max tried to shake her off but Nikki was too quick.
“NIHIKKII!! YOHOUR SUCH AHA *snort* GAH!”Did Max just snort? Holy moly, Neil was impressed. Nikki stoped to laugh.
“HAHAHehe! Sehee! Gosh Max you’re insane!” Nikki wiped a tear from her eye
“Nohot fuhunny!” Max said trying to catch his breath.
“Neil, if you’re still look for that apology. Try his hips!” Nikki said, grabbing Maxs hands and pinning them.
“His hips?”
“NO!” Max blurted
“Yeah his hips!”
“Like right here?” Neil teased tickling the air right above his hips
“Fohor fucks sake!” Max complained
“Yea yea! Right there!”
“okay!”
“Wait your serious?”
Neil inched closer
“WAITWAITWAIT!!”
Closer
“NEILISWEARTOGOD!”
“Closer”
“neilneilneilwaitpleaseyouhavenoideahowloudimgonnaget!!” Max tried to warn him panicking at the anticipation.
“If only you would-,” Neil latched onto Maxs hips, massaging into the bone
“-Just say sorry!”
“AHAHAHAHAAA! OHOHKAY!! ILL APOLOGIZE! PLEHEHEAHASEE!!” Max plead
“And it will be a real apology?” Neil did his best to drag the tickling on
“YEHES!! IT WI-*snort*-IHILL!!” Max snorted again! Nikki was laughing her ass off.
“Ok ok!” Neil let up
“gehehez!” Max panted
“I’m sohorry! I’m sorry I cahalled yohou a- a pussy!”
“There we go!” Neil clapped, Nikki let go of Maxs arms and Neil got off.
“Ugh, please shut up!” Max said covering his face in embarrassment
“Some one’s embarrassed!” Neil said in a baby voice
“Stop!” Max pushed Neil away
“I got an apology! I got max to say sor-ry!” Neil sang
Max whined, turning to his side to think of what just happened. ‘Did I really just say sorry?’ God damnit! Neil turned around to see Max lying on the ground facing away from him.
“Hey Max? Are you okay?”
“just don’t mention this every again!” Mad mumbled
“Sorry what?” Neil got closer
“I SAID-!” Max stoped himself and quieted down
“I said, don’t mention this ever again! Not to David! Not to Space Kid! Nobody should know about this!”
“About how easy it is to take you down with just a couple wiggles of the finger?” Neil laughed
“Ugh! Shut up! And yes!” Max groaned
“it took so long to get Nikki not to say anything!” Max pointed to Nikki who was digging up the grass.
“Okay okay! I won’t say a thing!” Neil said putting his hands up and backing off.
The rest of the day was pretty tiring for Max, the three of them laid back down in the grass just talking about whatever came to mind. Max eventually fell asleep causing Neil to also fall asleep, which made Nikki also fall asleep.
——————————————
Okie Dokie artichokie! Hope you enjoyed :)

What were those theories about atsv you mentioned in the post with my ask? It's the Daily Yappathon™ so feel free to talk as much as you want :3 I'm all ears or eyes since I'll be reading this and not listening
OH YESSSSS >:]
so, miguel is wrong. just, dead wrong.
first of all, hes a fucking psychopath. he was stalking the other miguels family and when he died, he could replace him perfectly and no one noticed. and hes delusional, like bro, its not your life or your daughter, and just because you got attached to them doesnt give you the right to act like a psycho. if you want a family, download tinder or smth
second, i get that he was a little bit nice to miles in the beginning (even though he threw a trash can at him), but here he is.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
???????????????????????????????????????????????
who gave you the right to act like that? chasing a teenager on all fours and choke slamming him into a fucking train and repeatedly calling him a mistake just because he refused to be part of your fucked up fake sustem?
because the canon is basically murder. letting people die "because they have to" is murder. and seriously, before the spider society existed, who took care of the canon? when miguel made the spider society, he also made the rules and he also made the canon. hes fighting a villain that he created.
also, miles is not an anomaly. if he was, his universe would have collapsed when the spider bit him. because thats what the supposed canon says, anomaly = universe falling apart. and yet, 1610B is very very stable. you know which universe did collapse?
Tumblr media
miguel is projecting his problems onto everyone else. miles isnt the original anomaly, miguel is. and he knows that, but hes too emotionally immature to understand what 2+2 is.
miguel blames miles for everything, when nothing is actually his fault. miles didnt start the collider or kill peter or create the spot or anything. if you look into it, you understand that even though it seems that its his fault, it isnt. was miguel too bored to look into it? maybe.
& hes a drug addict. rapture is the most addictive drug the universe and hes addicted to it. whats 1+1 again?
from what i understood, it was jess' idea to save gwen in the beginning of the movie (also we stan mother jess 🙏), miguel was very hesitant to save gwen, which means he was full on going to leave her there. and he neglected her. and he sent her back. to her father. who pulled a gun on her. bro, you cant only take care of the people that comply to your system. its giving government
i get that he has trauma, but like, so does everyone else. peter b has trauma, miles has trauma, gwen has trauma, hobie has trauma, everyone in the society has trauma but you dont see them abusing minors. miguel is the only using trauma as an excuse to be a horrible person.
also, i have strong reasons to believe that jeff dying wasnt miles' canon event. i mean, it was, but not 1610 miles'. when the go home machine read miles' dna, it sent him to E-42, because thats where the spider that bit him was from (which was ohnn's fault, btw. its not your spider bro put it back). and thats what probably happened when miguel was seeing miles' "canon events". jeff dying was miles 42's canon event, and it happened. like, the one is fatherless and the other is uncleless. why does one have to be both uncleless and fatherless? bffr.
basically, miguel to me is this: "oh, look at me, im miguel ohara, im the leader of the spider society and that makes me 200% better than you, nothing is my fault ever, everything is your fault, im a literal fucking psychopath, id rather beat a teenager up than admit that im wrong, my ego is the size of the atlantic ocean and im a furry who doesnt know non-violent communication. grr 👹"
and im not a hypocrite, if miles had done something wrong, i would be able to realise that. like, "miles is a great character but thats where he made a mistake". but he didnt do anything wrong. he didnt know that the canon existed, he only wanted to save his dad.
and i know that if the roles were reversed, if miguel was the one who couldnt save someone he loved, he would do the exact same thing. and so would everyone else in the society, who took miguels side. like, didnt your moms teach you "dont treat people the way you dont want to be treated"??
and it pisses me off so much when people defend miguel, first of all youre defending an abuser and second you dont have any good arguments.
1. "miles shouldnt have ran" thats victim blaming. and seriously, youre telling me that if you saw this
Tumblr media
chasing you, you wouldnt have ran? bffr.
2. "he has trauma, thats why hes aggressive" i already explained that before, but trauma isnt an excuse to be a horrible person.
yeah, there are a lot of shit arguments ive seen over time but i dont remember all of them.
also, hes not even hot. not that him being hot would excuse his actions, but then id partly understand when people liked him. but NOW? girl, he has 0 good angles and he looks like he hasnt showered in 3 months. you only like him because hes tall and has muscles and speaks spanish. have some self-respect
i wanted to say another thing but ive talked too much already lmao

reposting these here because of the Everything happening on twitter rn 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
[image id: three screenshots of Tweets followed by three diagrams. The first screenshot reads “(this is headcanon) Vex isn't from Craftworld OR Carnivalia. He's not "from" anywhere. He's the manifestation of the fear that collects in the Imagisphere. Every small worry, every anxiety, every nightmare that a Dreamer has is still part of their imagination (cont.)” 2. “ and therefore still goes to the Imagisphere. The form he takes is a representation of the biggest fears during that time on the Orb of Dreamers. The imagination of children is generally the strongest, so their fears are more pronounced. (cont.)” 3.” A lot of kids are scared of clowns, creepy dolls, etc. and that caused Vex's form that we see in-game. If he comes back every generation with a new form determined by the Orb of Dreamer's biggest fears, it begs the question: what would he have appeared as in previous generations?” 4.” While child Dreamers are the most powerful, the adults still contribute to the Imagisphere. His other forms could be created from anything, from the fear of spiders to the fear of death. Furthermore, what would he have been in ancient times? Pre-history?” 5. “ As Dreamers developed languages and cultures, how did that change the Imagisphere? If Vex is a being created from the concept of fear, and therefore has existed since the beginning of Imagination, did he choose his name? Or is it simply what Craftlings referred to him as?” 6.” Did he, or does he, have titles other than "Vex"? Do different corners of the Imagisphere have different stories or mythology surrounding him? About a being made of pure nightmares and dread that terrorized them in previous years?” 7.” All this to say: There's a lot you can do with the concept of "an eternal being made of nightmares in a world made of dreams". Don't limit your ideas of him to what we see in-game, because the game is made for kids and is simple/toned-down from what it could be.” 8.” Or do. I can't control you. i didnt intend to write a whole essay about this but. yeah. maybe if i have time in the future i can write out my ideas more concisely, but for now, this is good enough.” End of the first screenshot. The second reads “ Elaborating on this, if Vex comes back in a different form every generation, it's reasonable to assume that he looked a bit different when fighting Scarlet. It's possible that the plush she has isn't actually off-model, but is based on what he looked like at that time.” 2. “ Obviously the plush isn't one-to-one with his previous form, but some small "inaccurate" details may have been accurate at the time, like the different color scheme, less stripes, solid plush arms rather than 3 ropes, the bells being gold instead of silver, etc.” 3.” In The Gathering Storm she's shown to be pretty skilled in plush making, so I think that if she saw the Vex we see in-game, she would have made the plush more accurate.” End of the second screenshot. The third reads “ so. how do vex's hands work like, if he were to take off his gloves, what would it look like? how do they move? do the ropes of his arms act as bones/muscles? i made diagrams of some possibilities am i overthinking this design from a kids game where plushies can walk/talk? yes.” three diagrams are attached showing different possibilities for this question, showing a x-ray-like view of his hand. The first shows one idea, that the three red ropes that make up his arms need to split to create 5 fingers. A second is included in the first image, proposing the idea of a simple plushie hand. End first diagram. The second image shows a three-fingered diagram, as seen in the game’s concept art, with the caption “concept art hand makes more sense but thats not what the final design looks like so” End second diagram. The third shows the same x-ray-like view of his hand as the first image, but the ropes that make up his arms cut off at the wrist with the caption “The glove IS the hand (makes the most since, but is also the most boring)” End ID]

im glad you seem to enjoy my poem so much <3 like i think you just made my day way better!
id love to hear like your thoughts about it like what is in there that made you rebog that 30 times??
IT'S SO GOOD i had to reblog it 30 times for the soul ok
seriously though, i loved it so much because that's exactly what butch means to me. it's almost synonymous with caretaker, it's about love, it's about saving spiders from the classroom.
growing up (and still, though less so) i was the mediator between my friends and parents and brothers. i kept fights to a minimum, i calmed people down, let them cry on me from the age i knew how to wipe away tears. i half raised my brothers. i raised my mom almost as much as she did me. my dad wasn't home most of the time.
i've been masc since i was 8 years old. i got my first "boy haircut" at that age and it hasn't been past my shoulders since. even without the transgenderism, masculinity is such a huge part of my identity and it's ingrained in every memory i have. a good portion of the bullying and exclusion i experienced was about not being fem enough. my parents are overjoyed in an almost offensive way when i do anything they deem feminine. i get more compliments when i wear a dress, when my hair is longer, when i wear sparkly earrings or paint my nails or use a higher voice. none of these things are exclusively feminine, but they're seen as such by so many people. i don't get compliments for being masc.
butchness is so much more than masculinity. it's part of me, it's who i am, and it's more than significant to my gender. being butch, to me, is being a shoulder to cry on and arms made to hold. it's like that 'interview transcribed from my mind' poem. yknow.
that one. yeah. that interview and your poem hit so hard for me because that's *what butch is* okay i can't. say it any other way. it's bridging the gap, taking care of people on both sides of the vicious fight, it's hugs and hand holding and wiping away tears and cooking for your brothers because your mom doesn't want to that night and sneaking into his room after a fight and holding him and letting him cry on you. and then once he's asleep it's doing the same for her. that's it. yeah.

Been seeing everyone making posts about quest progression in fromsoft games and about how you should have A quest log, if your that stuck just google it, i wont judge you. Let me tell you a story.
When I first played DS1 i finished the tutorial version of the undead asylum and beat the asylum demon with the nroken straight sword because thats what I thought you had to do, not avoid it and run to the doors at the top left. Got an item i could not use and didnt know how to get the stats to use it, if the boss didnt level me up what does. I find my actual weapon an Axe and the spider shield forgot its actual name(yes my first ever character was a pyromancer with the defult look) wondered why i couldmt of used that on the boss, got my sunny D and unlocked the shortcut back to the bonfire learning "oh this game has shortcuts" got my glove and beat all the enemys in the area, saw there was a door I couldn't get through and died because i forgot about one enemy and didnt heal because i didnt know what button to press. Respawned at the bonfire with no souls, questioned shit for a minute then went back to where i died and saw my souls where there, i have now learnt the punishment for dieing, and that i have one chance to grab them again, because i put 2 and 2 together with the souls i got on my way that id drop them and my other pile would despawn. Finally i get to that grand opening and realise "ooohhhh this was how i was suppost to fight it" so like a dumbfuck I RESTARTED MY FUCKING GAME TO DO IT THAT WAY" learnt about plunging attacks, and had an easier time beating him, but I didnt get the item he dropped before. SO I DELETED MY SAVE AGAIN AND DID IT THE WAY I DID BEFORE AGAIN WHY WAS 16 YEAR OLD ME SO FUCKING CONFUSING! Met the bird and got sent to firelink and finally learnt how to use my souls as they are used to level up, used what i had to boost my strength and vitality, wondered what to do so i talked to the first NPC i saw the crestfallen warrior, and got told theres two bells, ring'em thats its. Wasnt told where just one above one below. Thats was the starr of my DS adventures and taught myself "oh this game doesnt really care about you, you actually have to use your brain and remember this shit. Fuck. And that stayed with me through all the games DS2? Yup kept that in mind once i saw i wasnt going to be told absolutly anything at all until i saw my first lord soul acquired when beating the sinner. Ans realised oh i need more of these 3 kinda held your hand more i find but still got lost at some places and accidently summoned the dancer early because i accidently killed emma becuae i put my controller down for her diolouge and my right bumper got pressed enough to let lopse a heavy attack. Learnt of the consequences of killing friendly NPCs also during this i failed most NPC questlines in all the games, i failed to save solaire so he turned hostile when he found his sun, that one hurt the most, dont remember which on hurt the most in DS2, in 3 i failed greirats questline and got him killed loosing a merchant, and i failed Eileen's questline in bloodborne. Still havent played demon souls yet but want to. And in elden ring i failed Bocs questline, so yes you will fail, but you have to think, the games wont hold your hand want a quest log? Go fucking make one yourself a physical one you can put your finding in so if yoh get stuck or see something you can flip through it to see if its important. I do, ifni can find the ones i made for DS1 ill post a picture of it but im pretty sure I lost that when my second apartment burnt down.

okay okay spiderverse au lore time!!!! so excited :)))
ranboo, tommy, and tubbo live in three parallel universes- in each of their respective universes they are the singular spiderman. however, they all exist in each universe, and all that’s supposed to change is the person getting bit. i’d imagine some kind of situation occurs with the spider-society that leads to tommy (im gonna call his universe #1) and tubbo (universe #2) already knowing each other before meeting ranboo (universe #3), and they bond over their very similar canon events; aware that the reasoning for similarity is their worlds being paralleled.
and then by complete accident (still not quite sure how), they meet spider-pog. identities arent revealed immediately, but when they are it wasn’t in dramatic fashion until tommy and tubbo both completely breakdown in front of ranboo (universe 3) upon seeing his face.
in every parallel universe, ranboo is supposed to die. spiderman knows them because he’s saved them before, recognized them around and decided to keep an eye on them as tommy/tubbo, which leads to them becoming best friends and forming their trio. for both tommy (1) and tubbo (2), ranboo was killed in action after recognizing their identities and trying to deescalate a dangerous situation. both boys were unable to save them in their universes, and upon getting a second chance are completely lost on how to proceed.
in ranboo’s (3) universe, he hasn’t experience much tribulation to speak of. the rate of crime is very low due to a strict police force, so there isn’t much for him to do until his universe is invaded by villains from other worlds. too scared to do anything as spider-pog, he can only watch in horror until two other spidermen appear to fight back for him. he learns about the spider-society and is reluctant to join as he is unsure how he would measure up as a superhero. but he wants to continue to see his new spider-friends, so they have hangout in his dimension on occasion. spider-pog becomes a stronger hero under their guidance and care, but when he reveals his identity tommy becomes incredibly distant while tubbo becomes extremely overbearing, similar to sssd.
tommy and tubbo are aware that ranboos universe parallels their own and being given the opportunity to stop the events that they “know” are coming, they take things in different ways. tubbo moniters ranboo’s every move in an attempt to stray him away from any path that may lead to one he’s already seen, and tommy steps away out of fear of both changing the canon and having to lose ranboo again.
what happens next is up to you! i’ll be keeping this in mind as you continue writing, maybe he dies and maybe he doesnt!! time will tell :) but i hope you enjoyed it and i hope i explained well enough (please ask questions if you want!!!)
the way i GASPED like four separate times reading this oh my god this is. incredible. i love this set up so much oh my goddddd. augh i LOVE ranboo not being confident as spider-pog (STILL absolutely love that name for them too) and tbh probably not feeling like they deserve the powers in the first place. ALSO RANBOO DYING IN THE OTHER UNIVERSES AUGH thats GENIUS i love IT
okokok so all the universes have their respective tommy, tubbo, and ranboos? what are the relationships like comparatively if thats the case? i mean obviously ranboo fucking DIES but yknow. like for example, is tommy close with both spider-tubbo and his own universe's tubbo, and if so, have the tubbos met?
also does any of ranboo's backstory in drdi translate into this au of it? honestly id love to hear any backstory thoughts youve had in general if you want to share!!!
obviously NO rush to explain or anything but ooohhhh im SO INVESTED oh my goddddddd

i’m an artist and i have a request (bc i know you have taste lmao)
i want to do a drawing for pride month that features marvel characters and lgbt themes but i have ZERO ideas. i want to draw something but brain is empty. do you have any ideas?
Okay so if we’re talking canon characters the first couple that came to mind is Wiccan and Hulkling because oh my goodness I love them!! But like the other day I reblogged some vintage pride photos of parents at the parade with their queer kids and ugh it always makes me so happy!! So like Wanda with a “proud mother of two queer sons” shirt or sign and then it’s just like the either young avengers because let’s face it even the ones that aren’t canonical queer are definitely some flavor of gay! Oh here’s a picture for reference you get the vibe
Tumblr media
[image ID: a vintage photo from a pride parade of an older woman on the back of her butch daughter’s bike with a sign that reads “proud mom” both are smiling]
If I might suggest something non canonical I’m personally a huge fan of interpreting Spider-Man as bi so like you could definitely do literally anything with that. He could be holding hands with mj and they’re both wearing t shirts or something that say “bi wife/husband energy” or Felicia hardy, Black Cat, is canonically bi so she and Peter could be doing something together (maybe cuddling or being a bad ass crime fighting duo) and there could be words in the bi colors that are like “still bisexual” or something? Or like Peter and Wade because they’re perfect holding hands and they’re both blushing with little bi and pan hearts <3 Or I’m an gay ace Johnny storm truther so literally anything with that!! Or Peter with top surgery scars
Whatever you create anon it will be wonderful please tag me if you post it!!

minecraft endermen are really weird. theyre unnatural and make me feel off.
when i was a small child like seven years ago i would always play minecraft on creative mode and i made an ugly ass enderman "farm" made out of bricks. i had an enderman spawn egg and id just spam it and the enderman couldnt get out (so i thought). anyways having them in this enclosure was probably so i could feel "powerful" over them because to date theyre still the only mob in minecraft that makes me anxious. even above skeletons(which i used to have a horrible fear of (the real life ones not mc ones)) and spiders (which i still have a horrible fear of (again the real life ones not mc)). anyways the endermen just ended up completely teleporting out of the farm and i checked on my world the next day and they were all gone and i didnt appreciate it (this was the same world where my brother blew up my pets but thats a different story).
anyways back to endermen. besides the fact that i just didnt like dying and i did like building ugly structures, one of the main reasons i didnt play survival much for a while, or if i did id put it on peaceful, was because of the enderman. every time i passed one my heart would drop and if i happened to look it in the eye on accident my throat would feel like its closing up and idk why. if it sounds like im bullshitting you or not remembering correctly i swear im not because it still happens actually.
i play survival a ton more now simply because i enjoy it more, it feels like theres actually a goal to achieve, but i never really make efforts toward said goal(ya know, beating the dragon). none of my worlds are really created with the intention of beating the dragon, and therefore i dont have to worry about endermen. if i happen to be outside my house and theres one there, no worries i just wait for it to go away. it may spook me for a sec but im fine.
but recently me and my sister started a world with the sole purpose of beating the dragon. we may have cheated a little (like putting on keep inventory cause honestly we both suck at pvp and have died so many times) but its okay cause thats it. we still have to fight endermen to get pearls for the end portal. and so we were hanging out in the nether and made a little two block tall hidey hole and id stand by the front and taunt endermen to get them to come close so i could kill them without them being able to get to me and it worked really well actually. except for the fact that to get them to come near i had to get them to aggro onto me and to do that i have to look them in the eye and you know where this is going. and so i was like "it has been so long since i looked an enderman in the eye surely i cant still be scared of them" and i turn to my sister like "<sister> you stay in the hole ill get us some pearls"
so i go out and taunt the dudes and guess what bitch got the pit in their stomach from these fuckers!! thats right bestie and my throat started to close up and i started talking to my sister again but i could tell me voice was off from it and i dont know why it happens but it pisses me off. like theyre not even scary looking theyre just a bit odd. and i continue to do this and kill the endermen and it just. doesnt. stop. my throat keeps closing up and im not "in pain" or anything just inconvenienced like what the fuck dude its a bunch of fucking pixels. i dont know its weird.
and now this part is gonna sound super fuckin stupid but ever since i started watching dsmp i immediately got attached to ranboo (cc! and c!) and knowing that c!ranboo was half enderman made me really think "hm endermen arent that bad. granted i havent interacted with one in a while but still not that bad. perhaps my favorite hostile mob" because you know people get attached to characters and think dumb things. and then again ranboo's character straight up existing and also this one specific headcanon i saw that was like "endermen use telepathy to talk so when a player looks at them all their thoughts get projected into them and it hurts their brain :((" makes me feel kinda bad for aggro-ing them and killing them again even though its literally just some pixels dude. my brain is not kind to me about this stuff and its really dumb.
i dont know what about the endermen staring back at me sets off the sort of fight-or-flight that makes me unable to breathe for a second but its something. its not the fact that their jaws basically unhinge when theyre mad because the throat closing up sensation happens before that. it happens when i look at an enderman and it looks back up at me and holds my gaze. i dont know. i dont know why im worked up(even slightly) over a video game. theyre still my favorite hostile mob i think (not just because of ranboo honestly the other hostile mobs just kinda suck).
and also i like the idea of how humanoid they are. not human. humanoid. they have the basic aspects of a minecraft human- square, head, torso, legs, arms, eyes. most mc skins dont even have mouths anyways just eyes. but the endermen have these features differently than us. their eyes are unnatural, legs and arms too long, body all one color, one that can blend in, and you can only see its purple eyes staring you down from a distance. theyre basically just cryptids.
despite skeletons and even zombies looking closer to the player than the endermen, they still seem the most human-like of all of the mobs. they arent aggressive unless provoked. they dont like eye contact(socially awkward). they like picking up stuff and moving it around. theyre curious (i cant explain this one they just are, okay?). even the sounds they make are just phrases like "hey" "hello" "whats up" distorted and in reverse.
i want to know more about them.
i want to know where they came from.
why theyre found in every dimension.
why they sound like us.
i want explanations, i want to know why they scare us.
i want to know if they know.
if they know that we're like them in some way.
that some of us dont mean harm, but for others thats all they want to do to the endermen.
i saw a post once that said "what taught humans to be wary of things that look human, but arent?" i believe the phenomenon is called uncanny valley. what if in the minecraft universe, the thing that taught us that was endermen. or rather, the thing that taught the endermen that was us? because again, the endermen pose no threat to us unless theyre provoked. by one of us. the endermen try to communicate with us- "⊑⟒⊬" "⍙⊑⏃⏁⌇ ⎍⌿?"- but we kill them without reason. thats why they dont like eye contact, its been ingrained in them through evolution that eye contact with a human/player will end in death, and they dont want it to be theirs, so they attack first.
we- or rather, the first minecrafters, maybe (in the lore(?)) people before the game, taught the endermen to fear us. i mean we literally kill them, use their remains to enter their home dimension, and then kill their leader/mother. they do their best to stop us, but we can respawn and they cant. and then, some people even go as far as to make farms, having them all spawn in one place, crowded, cant teleport out- their only defense mechanism gone- and then are slaughtered for their pearls. and due to the mass of these farms there will be chests upon chests full of pearls that no one's using, i saw someone the other day ask what people do with them and someone straight up said they just burn them like god what a waste.
"but izzy, players make mob farms all the time and not just for endermen!!!1!!11! why are the endermen ones so bad why are you only talking about those1!1!1!!!1" 1) because i can, 2) this is an endermen-themed post, and 3) i dont like the other mobs. and of course im not actually mad at the players who like beating the game and making endermen farms and such, i mean thats what it is its all just a game just a bunch of code, 0's and 1's, so why does it matter why bother writing a whole post on it?
because when you look paste the game, when you read in between those ones and zeroes and discover this non-intentional lore, it can make things so much more,, interesting. this is fanfic material. hell, its probably fanart material too. its all for the content to see what the community can create i guess. or maybe i just really like talking about endermen and this has been on my mind for two days now and once i started typing i couldnt stop.
but yeah, thats my final thoughts.
we, humans, experience uncanny valley about the endermen.
but the endermen experience uncanny valley about the players.

Monster Type: Executioner (motivation: to punish the guilty) Powers: All of them have supernatural speed and strength, and can shapeshift into humanoid lycanthrope-esque beings for more effective predation. One of them is adept at using “magic,” mostly in a supportive way like a bard- helping to direct the others and prime their attacks. They try to lure monsters out, one of them faking weakness or taking on some aspect that the target might find appealing, then the bait leads them into an ambush. When hunting a group, they try to split everyone up so that they can gang up on whoever gets left behind. Attacks: Detailed below Weaknesses: The Dark, The Stranger, and the Spiral can either blind or misdirect the wolves, though actually killing them will be difficult- they have to be made into quarry to make them “vulnerable.” It’s a farfetched pull, but calling upon the owner of Lobos Ltd. (See the Deer Man adventure) and acquiring some of his cages would be effective in removing them as threats.

Tumblr media
Greg (Hotheaded and rash. Eager to feel powerful.)
Tumblr media
Johnny Hobo (Patient. Durable. The methodical pursuit, often tempering Greg or supporting the others.)
Tumblr media
Elsa (The brains of the operation. Puts on a cool air.)
Tumblr media
Pat (Jumpy, a pure manifestation of id. The fastest, but also the easiest to fool.)
Countdown:
Burgers on the Coast gets accosted by a brash customer. After they finish eating, they will leave and the table can be investigated.
The Pack arrives in town, a PC sees Johnny outside their window (if they doubletake, or run to get equipment, he will be gone).
If the PCs have convinced any “monsters” to only hunt “bad guys” or otherwise change their ways, the reformed monster gets ambushed. Depending on the monster, the Pack might kill them.
Shiro violently cuts back a mass of vines, which fight back, whipping around his arm and leg. As he pulls to get away, thorns tear into him, and the vines start to dig into him. 
The Pack tracks down Bigfoot, and kills her after she menaces some campers. 
The Pack finds Shiro restrained, spider lilies growing out of his mouth and stomach. They kill him. 
They will start the next hunt, if not found, or if not given the primary focus during the hunt. They are essentially competition for the PCs.
Bystanders:
Susan- (Gossip, Victim) Burgers on the Coast waitress. She’s worked at this same restaurant for 30 years and as a result knows all the regulars. Greg will accost her, then Johnny Hobo will smack him upside the head. Only these two are at the diner.
Anuset- (Victim, Gossip) The mask is out pursuing someone it has targeted in the past week. As it falls upon this person and begin to unpeel, Johnny Hobo will appear behind it with a baseball bat. The morning after, a hunter will see a destroyed clay mask left discarded. Further inspection will discern that a couple fragments were taken.
Shiro- (Helper, Victim) Shiro has been plagued by vines overgrowing his orange tree. While he cuts them back, the vines fight back and restrain him, as impossible amounts of blood issue from his person. Where blood spills, spider lilies start to grow... after a few days he is still restrained, but the Party Pack finds him, and will kill him.
Bigfoot (Victim) (Stranger Avatar)- aka Isadora Vila Quintana, a hiker who got too lost in the woods and now menaces other hikers. She doesn’t quite need to kill the hikers, but often puts them into precarious positions after she is finished with them.
Francesca Lopez (Victim) (Stranger Monster) sells secondhand items. She has ties to Charlotte and her trade market, wherein Frannie goes around flea markets and digital marketplaces. Having recently finished a transaction, or at least would have if she hadn’t gotten caught by the Pack. 
Minnie Taylor (Witness, Innocent) a resident who had gotten lost trying to find her own home. The Pack has promised to help her once the danger is cleared, and if they don’t return for her she will try to free herself from the place they sealed her into, inevitably getting lost and becoming a spiral avatar. She trusts the Pack to help her, and if the Players come across her, will not trust them if they don’t seem to have a good reason to kill them.

Locations:
Burgers on the Coast (and Parking Lot)- the diner that the PCs have taken a liking to, their repeated presence dooms it to become a hub of Interesting Persons. 
The table that Greg and Johnny sat at will have some traces that can be discovered- some gum under the table, a deep cut into the particle board table, a dropped receipt (Ammo- 9mm and shells). 
Camping Grounds
In the forest, far from the sounds of the city, a hiking trail opens up to a small clearing where hikers can put down tents and keep a campfire. This is Isadora’s favorite haunt, because of it’s isolation and the sheer ability to disorient people in these woods. She can be tracked, sometimes.
RV
Parked by the beach, one of many RVs. Once the right one is sussed out, it can be broken into. It is likely that at least one of the Pack is there, keeping watch. As soon as the PCs head there, the other members of the Pack will be notified, and they will circle the party, trying to make sure that they don’t leave with anything important.
Inside the RV is a mess. Clothes in one or two piles strewn over one of the seats or in a receptacle. Projects lay unfinished- Someone’s trying to patch their jacket, someone else is growing seed starters. Plastic dishes lay in the mini sink. One bed looks like it’s been used as an operating table on more than one occasion, a big antique chest sits in the corner undisturbed, and some hefty power tools poke out of a footlocker pushed out of the way. Treat this as a Haven for the Pack, with an Infirmary, an Armory, and a Workshop. 
They also have many “trophies” from previous kills in an upper cabinet- everything sealed with an eye sigil. Some Tallow. A mushroom. A long, preserved beak. A lock of inky black hair. These hunters have been traveling the US, fighting monsters and leaving a wake of supernatural power vacuum. 
Shiro’s home
Vines stretch, having grown a strong base on the telephone pole near Shiro’s home. Runners stretch from the pole to the lines and then to the houses. They have sprouted purple flowers, and are now growing green fruit- not yet ripened, though that may change quickly.
The vines are attempting to peel under the shingles of Shiro’s home to anchor themselves, though he has managed to beat back the majority. It’s harder for him to keep up with the vines currently suffocating the orange tree, though.
Him using his ultraviolent powers to destroy the vines has attracted the attention of the Party Pack.
The Strange Suburb
An entire suburb has fallen into unreality and is distorting- building extensions without rime or reason, warping through various decades and shapes. Think McMansions but worse and more terrible and insufferably generic. Very easy to get lost in, very easy to separate people and confine them in terrible, bland, almost claustrophobic (make sure everyone is okay about this if you use it) spaces. There is no real branding on anything, and looking through the house will find very little personal effects if any.
One house is holding Minnie Taylor. Elsa had set up wards which will keep the spiralizing at bay (The door containing her room is unlocked, but there are multiple and they shift around. A golden seal distinguishes this door if the players look for it with supernatural means).
The largest, most cancerous McMansion house is wavering in the most volatile sense. The house goes through waves of eras- wallpapered walls, then painted, then cheap drywall, then wood paneling. The rooms are labyrinthine, measurements all feel wrong- hallways too narrow, rooms too big or small. Pat is the scout of the group, and will be ready for anyone entering the house conventionally, sprinting away as soon as they come in.  As the Players follow him (if they do), the rooms stretch and expand, making pursuit difficult. At the top of the house is a large, undefinable room with elements of any kind of room in the house. A little bit of a kitchen, a showerhead, photo frames on the walls and ceiling. In the center of the room lies Francesca, with Johnny Hobo holding her down as Elsa prepares Greg to execute her. Behind them all hangs a painting on the wall, from which a malevolent energy exudes.
Artefact: A Francis Bacon painting which is the source of the reality warping in the first place. Disrupting Elsa’s preparations will make the manifestation worse. The Players are able to either try to finish the Ritual Elsa was performing (containment, some reversal of the manifestation, at the cost of Francesca’s life), or find their own solution to destroy it.
Tumblr media
Cold Open:  A beat up RV speeds up Highway 101 under the light of a waxing moon. A folkpunk song plays through the speakers as a rowdy quartet sings along. Street lights illuminate a messy dashboard with all sorts of little tchotchkes- batteries, flashlights, pocketknives, that kinda stuff. The song ends and the next one opens with a death growl, and as they roar along, their voices get loud, feral, deeper. The RV hits a bump and the knick knacks on the dashboard shift, the riders laughing with the chaos. The next time the streetlights flicker to the dash, a mugshot of [PC] has made it to the top.
