Just to preference alot of this is my interpretations/HCs/OC and very little of it is cannonical character analysis:
So her name is Penelope Esther Goldman but she just goes by her middle name Esther, as a funny little nod to know SK and Neil are both named Neil, she shares a name with Mrs Priss and I think I had them go to the same collage or something, might have to do the math on their ages again to see if that lines up
(I HC Carl's last name is Pasternak and Neil's is both, hyphenated.)
She's a incredibly intelligent scientist with extensive knowledge in biology, robotics, chemistry, ect ect. Esther doesn't really emote or exspress her emotions in her voice or face much at all, or well.
Carl when they first met was smitten, he was a groovy goofy goober and still is. He'd do that walrus thing with breadsticks in public at restaurants. He'd skate around with a fanny pack dancing to bee gees. Convince her to go to parties and she'd just be pleasantly content to stand there as he's like "that's fine I can dance enough for the both of us/pos" She had to pass a first aid course and he guided her arms and taught her you can keep the proper rhythm by singing Stayin Alive. He was just really persistent and really sweet and he grew on her okay 😭
Esther didn't really have a respect for philosophy because she didn't really grasp it's value or importance. As she grew to respect him more that sortaa changed.
They eventually got married and really kick-started both of their careers along the way.
(cw miscarriage implications for this next part) Neil's a rainbow baby that happened after several pregnancy losses. It may have been one of the things to strain their marriage but what really ended up doing it in was just the simple fact of life people change and grow apart and can fall out of love so now they can't really interact with each other for long. Their differences and flaws now clash and they butt heads instead of being complimentary.
I'm a firm believer the episode where each camper takes care of an egg they were reflecting their own parents. Carl is embarrassing but he's almost the exact opposite of a smotherer that Neil was showcased to be. His overall parenting style is like he's way more concerned about being Neil's friend than anything.
Esther is the one he's mirroring, here. She treats him like he's fragile almost. She gives him specific everything, down to his bedsheet thread count, knows how to cater to his living needs inside and out. Esther struggles to connect with anyone emotionally, though so her affection in the verbal department isn't as maintained. This never really bothers Neil, it doesn't register as "smothering" to him how much she shelters or caters to him. Because this isn't a kid interested in joining sports he could get hurt in and likes everything in a specific way anyways.
She's more aware socially than Carl is and knows how to not embarrass him in general.
Esther is Neil's biggest role model he wants to be just like her and is mad when he isn't, when he fails to be. He's upset even physically the only thing they share are the eyes. ((Regularly you can't even see Esther's I couldn't help myself in the art above from making them visible/forgot on the cc one but it's supposed to be a bit on "eyes are a window to the soul" thing and she's just that closed off and unreadable. Really only has a soft spot for Neil))
His mother is incredibly intelligent, and just seems so collected to him all the time.. and importantly not over emotional like he can be (his temper specifically.) and ESPECIALLY how emotional his dad can be.
I just love!! Character parallels!!!! How Carl is this emotional goofy person who joked around and danced and played music everywhere and Esther got regarded as "cold" and stiff and Neil is just both of them bc he's so smart but he's also silly. Like he plays video games and gets passionate over little things and allthat and it embarrasses him secretly sometimes, he wishes he could chill out and be like his mother. But the parts of him that reflect his father have always been the parts Esther always loved the most and found endearing. He doesn't know that though.
Neil to an extent even secretly believes if he didn't have his big brain and academic achievements him and his mother wouldn't have this close relationship because this is their shared quality. This is what makes her proud. He's so scared to lose that or disappoint her.
At the same time it doesn't stop him from pinning his parents against each other a bit from time to time. As he knows Esther's go-to move is to spoil him to win.

listen in the grand scheme of things i'm glad i let myself get back into minecraft content for this. like i haven't touched a minecraft series since like 2014, on purpose, but i saw clips of qsmp in march 2023 and thought, screw it. maybe it's time. and i don't regret it yknow? i saw multilingual server and thought 'that looks AWESOME' and it certainly didn't disappoint. my only regret is that everything went crazy and people logged off RIGHT when everyone finally started relying on the live translations more, which was something i've been dreaming of for months lmfao. all in all, just happy to be here. this stuff gave me new reasons to use my blog.
hell if this is actually an end or even just a pause maybe i can FINALLY write my FUCKING TIME LOOP FIC JESUS FUCKING I'VE BEEN COOKING THAT STUPID FUCKING THING SINCE LIKE MAY LIKE I WAS ON THE FUCKING FIELD AT MY COLLEGE GRADUATION CEREMONY WAITING TO WALK THE STAGE AND GET MY DIPLOMA AND I WAS WRITING THE FIRST STUPID CHAPTER OF IT LIKE GENUINELY BUT I PUT IT ON HOLD BC THINGS KEPT HAPPENING AND I WAS LIKE I SHOULD UNDERSTAND THE BIG PICTURE SO I CAN ACTUALLY PLAY WITH IT PROPERLY BC THE MOST FUN I HAVE WITH TIME LOOP AUS COMES FROM KNOWING EVERYTHING AND MESSING WITH HOW SIMPLE ACTIONS CAN ALTER THE PROGRESSION OF EVENTS AND CHANGE CHARACTER CHOICES LOGICALLY BC THAT STUFF'S COOL BUT I DIDN'T KNOW LIKE THE MYSTERY OF THE FEDERATION OR WHATEVER AND I WANTED TO SEE WHERE THAT WAS GOING SO I COULD SEE WHETHER I WANTED TO TOSS IT OR ALTER IT OR KEEP IT AND SEE NOW I'LL KNOW YKNOW AND NOW I CAN JUSTIFY SHIT LIKE "OH HEY PURGATORY'S HAPPENING IN JUNE THIS TIME BC I WANT THE BREAKFAST TRIO TO EXIST FASTER AND FUCK YOU" WITHOUT IT FEELING TOO WEIRD AND ALSO STUFF LIKE CODE LORE AND ALL THIS OTHER NONSENSE LIKE DAMN WOULD BE PRETTY COOL I MEAN ONE SINGLE FUCKING INTERACTION BETWEEN SLIME AND MARIANA COULD SEND ME CAREENING DOWN A PATH PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT UNIMAGINABLE I COULD MAKE THIS FIC THAT'S BEEN SIMMERING SINCE LAST MAY A REALITY I COULD DO IT THIS COULD FIX ME. THIS COULD FIX ME
but yeah i'm glad i allowed myself to get invested in this server. i think y'all are cool, and i think the admins did amazing with everything they were given even though they shouldn't have been given it the way they were, and the ccs were cool and i'm glad everything happened yknow. maybe things will keep happening and maybe not but yknow what. i became All Powerful. i started watching as someone who knew english and some french and now i am someone who knows english (100%), slightly more french (like 70%), a workable understanding of spanish (like 40%) and a slightly less workable understanding of portuguese (like 20%) they added german to nerf me specifically. they knew i was getting too powerful. yeah, i spent some time as a kpoppie, i have a tiny miniscule understanding of korean (5%) german i have 0 experience with they added german to nerf me and then this happened to nerf me further. make no mistake they cannot stop me. i will become all powerful.
like cmon. if it ends here it was never all bad. i don't even have to use google translate to understand roier shittalking in the chat. i can just read it. i couldn't do that before :D and i can make my chilean friend keysmash bc she's not used to me knowing any spanish at all
we've grown strong over the year, haven't we? i hope we will continue to, no matter what :D

Do you have any takes on how certain cc's are portrayed in fabfictions? Like Jimmy. I hate the uwu-fication of him
Generally I dont care when people make the characters ooc. I love happiness and whimsy, so I just think let people do what they wanna.
(I do the same sometimes lets be real. I mean, Cannibal Jimmy? That's something FAR from being cannon, and I do like me some what if scenarios.)
But ig those aree just my thoughts and opinions down there:
But ig if we speaking about Jimmy, well, I don't like when people make him TOTALLY hopeless. like a damsel in distress. He's competent enough. Goofy, uncareful, loud and totally obnoxious at times? Ye! But he isn't hopeless, he has his things going for him. He likes depreciative humor as well, he complains loudly, but you can always tell when he is gen upset or when he's just playing along. He tends to poke the bear and when he angers it he will run for the hills. People just yk, forgetting Jimmy's quick and effective comedic timing, that isnt veery like obnoxious to the viewers BC he knows when to shut up and when to take the lead.
I'm ngl I dont read TOO many Martyn ff but ig I have a thing for him that some people forget. Once again amazing comedian, but unlike others I've seen, he has a thing for jokes that boarder inappropriate and pg 13+ (well, tbf depending who he plays with, bc on his streams you can throw out the pg shit). He's always dramatic, over dramatic but he KEEPS the light tone of interactions, when he IS threatening people often times it feels genuinely light hearted but you can tell HE IS going to go through it. Also I was talking about it before hand but Martyn, hes loyal to a fault. Unlike certain people like to say and how he HIMSELF is saying. Martyn sticks with one person and is overprotective of them. He isnt going to let anybody hurt them and he keeps his allies near (see Liml Scott or even SL Jim how martyn even after Jimmys death kept him close. Hell! There was ven mumbo and Lizzy that he kept near even when they died. Martyn IS loyal). But Martyn's loyalty isnt CONSTANT. He is loyal until the veery end, until he HAS to fight his allies to win. Like Killing Scott in the last second to win Liml. While I agree with Martyn that he is an ally who you should keep at an arms reach, he is also an ally that you can keep close until its the end. Bc you CAN be sure he will betray you in the moment of need

Yh i agree about people s obsession with new duos. And don t get me wrong, sometimes new and unexpected duos are great, i m talking to the treebark burner account! Ranchers were also great, and totally out of nowhere. But i think people are a bit too obsessed with 1 creating new duos and names in order to portray new narratives and theories and 2 making every close relationship romantic or familiar, as if close friendships, qprs or just good ol' rivalries did not exist 3 ignoring female ccs, even more so when it gets in the middle of a ship (this happens with women in every single piece of media btw).
Male-female friendships (or ships) are often ignored bc i feel a lot of fans feel as if these fanon relationships are somehow more "real" and not roleplay bc they are a "straight couple" (c'mon people, most of us are queer what are you doing with this mentality?), and are more likely to assume you ship the creators and not the characters, or worst, to actually assume the ccs are together irl (which was the reason some female ccs were against shipping in the 1st place). Re: this point, I will give an special mention to bee duo though, the fans really assumed they liked each other irl, which was very creepy considering they were underage at the time.
F/F ships are also often snubbed, although lately i ve seen them become a lot more popular, such as nature wives and more recently Gem & Pearl (ik the ship has a name, but i ve decided to ignore it bc we are better than that), which has been satisfactory to see. Still a long way to go though.
Hope i have explained myself correctly 👉👈 english s not my 1st language so i m kind of nervous about dping such a long post about such a complex issue. Feel free to correct me
no you're all good! thanks for the ask 🫶
also sorry to anyone who's here for tree bark only bc this acc is basically my alt now lmaoo (due to me keeping anon off on main)
you're right that ppl want to create new duos and narratives but sometimes... those ppl aren't that close. or had three interactions in a series. that isn't to say they're not friends or friends can't become close in a short amount of time. but the fandomisation and trying to come up with an incomprehensible name instead of saying their names is kinda ?? to me personally. not that's bad, it's just... i don't really get why you won't use their names. especially when it's not a long established group that frequently collabs.
you're so right about male-female friendships and especially in this fandom. i feel like m/f shipping in this sphere (outside of the obvious lizzie/joel) is seen as taboo bc it could leak into m/f irl shipping. at least that's why i was squicked out for like two years. esp bc m/f irl shipping was / is a problem (for example, i still see ppl asking in their public yt comments if stress and iskall are together. during hc2 people thought mumbo and false were dating when he was like 17 and she was in her early twenties and it's just fucking weird to truth in people's comments).
(unrelated to this discussion but i will always be salty that the antihcshippers never bring up the point of REAL AND ANNOYING M/F IRL SHIPPING IN COMMENTS and instead bully scar/grian shippers on twitter or whatever. really shows that they never cared about cc's "boundaries" or feelings and just want that fandom moral superiority. quick have you been to comment sections of eps posted by the women in like 2017. have you seen the random twitch chatters.)
the fanon side of m-f friendships/ships in hc is interesting bc pre gem and pearl, the three women had their "designated guy bestie that they always collab with" and it's quite obvious who: stress-iskall, cleo-joe, false-ren (to a lesser extent cub). former two are basically the only prominent m/f ships (iskall in particular plays into it). i had talked to ppl in dms about why false/ren isn't prominent and my main theory is what i call the yaoi shield bc ren is shipped with a lot of men LMFAO (also something something about ren/iskall and false/stress being complements to avoid the "boring" m/f shipping).
but i still wish m-f friendships get more recognition 😔 like if you're not shipping them in the character sense, there's no risk of being seen as irl shipping, so technically it's no different from same gender friendships, right? 🤡 and i do not like the instant "siblingification" to create a fanon familiar bond to avoid shipping. like sometimes it works. a lot of the time it doesn't. people can just be friends. and they all are actually friends.
ok, more of a tangent here, but dug up an old ass convo from 2021 in which there was a point like "sometimes romantic relationships can happen between ccs and it is definitely more feasible than ccs becoming family via marriage/adoption" and i said "so technically 'shipping hcs' are less weird than 'same family hcs'. hm". soooo 🤡🤡🤡 it's totally fine if you don't wanna ship, but it is also TOTALLY fine to keep them as friends instead of siblings / family hcs. i think this fandom has enough awareness now to know you mean friends when you portray them as friends.
i'm happy to see more yuri bc yuri is almost always the least popular in fandoms. but i think m/m and f/f also has the vibes of "less likely to be perceived as irl shipping so we can go wild" while m/f character shipping is still treated with caution? and people really don't want ccs to misinterpret it as irl shipping? tbh i feel like the modern day fandom has gone into "god forbid a man and a woman are friends" that m/f is seen as the "boring" "cop-out" and it goes all the way around. like yeah sometimes it's boring. but not the point of it being nonexistent lmfao like m/f could be funnnnn!!!!!! and they can be queer too!! bi4bi, t4t!!!! or they can just be hetero idk!!
anyways. as a m&f / m/f main i have Thoughts. but yeah 👍

(This is the separate ask I would genuinely love to hear your thoughts on how other stream sub groups operate differently it's just so fascinating to me)
YEAH!!! Also it's so very cute to me how supportive and patient he was with Kristen when she was first considering streaming <333
At first she just kinda popped into chat and on stream rarely and he never forced her to stay if she didn't. Over time she just got used to and wanted to interact with chat more! Until she started streaming herself and he's been 100% supportive the entire time. Literal A+ husband material you can tell how much he loves her and its so sweet,,,,
YEAH ok so about the kristin thing at first so recently i've been watching all of phil's s4 videos and i'm getting to the end of 2019 aka they're preparing for their wedding and phil's in the process of getting a visa and it's so :))
i currently have two kristin stream vods in my watch later (bc i've been busy) and im so excited to get to themm it's been awesome to see kristin get more confident in streaming bc she is so funny!! i really love tuning into her streams they are such nice spaces :) also i miss parents sdv i hope they play again
ANYWAYS ok so my ramblings about phil's community is just. hold on i need to put this under cut because the more i write out the more it feels like inane bullshit but whatever we're here now
i feel like out of all of the streamers who have grown their communities in the boom of 2020/dsmp era phil's has been the most interesting to me. obviously biased here bc this is my community but ok. I'm not going to say that phil's fanbase is "the best" because that's obviously a subjective take but i think part of what makes it stand out to me is that it skews significantly older than any of the other streamers fanbases. routinely, we've heard from donos that there are teachers or people with full jobs who are donating to phil's streams. now, obviously we've heard plenty from high school age and younger, but for the most part those people tend to be sbi fans, or crimeboys fans who also enjoy phil - totally valid, etc, but they're not who i'm talking about.
the people who main phil tend to be older, which shapes a pretty different community that has a much less active presence on places like twitter. Those who are on twitter tend to not have nearly as much of a drive for clout as other subtwts - obviously there are exceptions, there always are, im trying not to speak as a total generalization - but i can't think of too many c!phil mains with thousands upon thousands of followers compared to other subtwts. And i think that again mostly comes down to like . it's just an older fanbase so they don't care abt that stuff as much.
oh and also! early gang as a central hub for most people who main phil i think helps a lot because, similar to tumblr, no character limit directly correlates to like. more critical thinking being used and less automatic aggression towards other people in the way twitter pushes to the forefront of every interaction. so as a whole the community comes across as far more chill than other subtwts/etc bc they aren't using twitter as their primary hub of communication
but i also think phil has had a direct impact on how his fans act on twitter regardless of age. the example that immediately comes to mind is when uh. ok. so idk if u were on twitter at all circa late 2020-early 2021, but subtwt selfie days were Alllll the rage back then, there was basically one or multiple every single day of the month for various ccs and duos/groups/etc. and i remember when it started popping off, phil got asked about it on stream and he very seriously talked about how he wasn't comfortable having a selfie day tagged after him, because he didn't like the fact that so many people, many who were high school age/teenagers, were putting their face on the internet for literally anyone to look at. i think he was the only cc who really spoke out about the ramifications of having your face online like that, and i know for me it was the first time i took a step back and went "yeah wait this is kind of fucking weird". it obviously didn't stop the selfie days for any other ccs, or the sbi selfie day, but his fans listened, and there was no phil selfie day ever again, and i think it's that kind of communication between phil and his audience that sort of helped develop his community in that direction, being mindful of internet bullshit and all that jazz. it's that kind of way he looks out for fans and the like that makes me really appreciate him and his community all the more. i just really like telling that bit of his history bc it was important to me in that time
again i don't know if this makes . too much sense. i sort of just started rambling and didn't stop to think if i was making any real points. this is all just to say that i love early gang, love philza, loveposting hours are so real i love this old man

past admin here.. no longer running rps bc of the community. but i've ran a couple pretty big rps in the past couple years and i'll be honest, although i think it's slightly immature to close roleplays because of things people say on a gossip blog, i believe admins are just tired and most times the venting on blogs like this are just the cherry on top of everything they're already dealing with in the roleplay they are managing.
lets be real. admins are usually normal people just as you are, with jobs, possibly school, friends, and things to do outside of their rp life. most admins are also not full time HR reps or therapist. we are no better than you when it comes to finding out how to fix issues or resolve conflicts... member activity and facehogging has been an issue that not only i have seen in my rps but roleplays everywhere have and are currently experiencing. admins can only do SO much. they can't force activity without being called micromanagers and they cant change the activity requirements to be more engaging without being critizied about not being realistic for people with lives outside of rp.
theres issues regarding cliques. most times, the admins are so busy with admin shit that they don't see or notice the clique. from my past experiences as an admin, people would call anyone and anything a clique.
an example i used all the time .. because this is crazy... but back when i used to run a big rp. we got anon's complaining about a "🐻 squad" (changed the emoji for privacy reasons). when us as admins went in to look what that so called squad was, it was literally a member just referring to the people who emojied his post about playing a game later. we're adults, and it's embarrassing to see people talk as if they were excluses children when most of the time its a personal activity issue. if your muse isnt interacting with things on the feed, commenting on post, leaving emojis, talking in gc/ plotting with others, joining games/activities, or even doing events... theres obvious reasons why your muse feels left out. additionally, when a muse has a group of friends they have developed and feel close to, i personally see it as character development. these muses have spent enough time getting to know eachother to the point there they know they like to hangout and get along. as an admin, i've sent my muses to talk to the so called cliques that were in my roleplay to try and see how they would treat my muse and most times, the so called cliques were rather nice and inviting to my muse. making it rather hard to kick them.
we as admins can encourage but not force people out of their circles, we can not force people to answer dms, and we can not force people to write. the best we can do is attempt to remove them or close the roleplay completely.
when it comes to resolving conflicts, believe it or not its extremely hard for us. most times remember we are an outsider looking into the situation. and most times we are not given complete content. we unfortunately are reading screenshots without tone indicators or context. the best we can do is listen to both sides and hope we are making the best possible decision for the community. however. we can not remove muses from the rp because of a bad breakup or because they are upset with your muse. we can't kick people out because you both simply do not get along. the best we can do is ask that you both don't interact. i think the community has a hard time understanding this part. additionally, your issue with another member is not always highest priority for some admin teams, sometimes admin teams are talking for hours about how they want to handle a situation so expecting an immediate resolution to the situation or specific action in general is unrealistic.
adding to the unrealistic thing is expecting admins to be online 24/7. we need to sleep, eat, and do other things aside from just admining. we want to enjoy our muses as much as you guys do as well. we apologize if your cc request was not answered within 3-4 hours. remember admin teams will be online at some point in the day and often times will be in different timezones than your own. so be realistic and give admin teams 24-48 hours to respond to your message. admins are not slacking just because they want a moment to focus on themselves.
lastly, i realized rather quickly that this community does not like to follow or read rules almost at all. regardless of how we spin it 80% of the community skims through the rule page we work hard on creating to get the password for the application. how do i know yall dont read rules? because some of the shit being complained about on these blogs are things that have been blatantly stated in the rules that you guys have agreed to! dont join a roleplay if you dont agree with it's rules. simple. "admins are asking me to handle it myself." most rps open right now say in the rules that they will ask you to do that before coming to them. "this age gap rule is rediculous." most roleplays have these rules clear on their rule page. "well i didn't know you couldn't do that." yes you did, you agreed to the rules of the roleplay when you joined. don't act shocked or upset when we enforce the rules. and if you claim rules are hard to understand or need clarification, it takes nothing but 2 seconds to ask admins for clarification on a rule.
so yes, after dealing with these issues and more, seeing vent posts about our roleplays sometimes is the perfect cherry on top to call it a day and close the community. think of it as "why would we continue to put all this effort in if people are obviously unhappy with our work?". we work hard to manage things the best we can but we are only human and our judgements sometimes fail us. and getting critiqued is 100% okay but some of you guys on here write things so maliciously... i wonder if the admins had personally victimized you with the way yall write on here. rp is a hobby and at the end if the day if the honby is causing you more stress than happiness.. close/ leave your roleplay.
— tired ex admin.

video games i'm loving rn
night in the woods - emotional story game about mental illness and change, and the struggle with dealing with that. you play as mae, a cat who has dropped out of college and returns to her home town, and there is a cast of loveable characters.
omori - tw for depression, anxiety and su1c1de. you play as omori. you are stuck in whitespace, but it is a pixelated story game about mental illness and trauma, and will give you trauma...
life is strange - story game where your choices matter. you play as max, a student at a posh private school who discovers she has the ability to rewind into the past and change her actions. love the characters and its nice to have my choices mean something (that sounds so melodramatic im sorry.)
the last of us part one - a zombie apocolypse game with found family. has some gore and is sad, but is a beautiful story and i luv ellie and joel. sad man is smuggling hyper child across america in a post apocolyptic world with zombies caused by a fungal infection. it just came out for pc.
undertale - not sure how to describe this. has found family i guess and a massive fandom. you play as you, the main character, and you are exploring a world??? and you can choose to be merciful or aggressive in this world. the music is haunting and beautiful, and it seems fun so far.
sally face - horror platformer with found family. you play as sally face, a young boy who has a facial disfigurment and has recently moved bc of the death of his mother. you meet a cast of fun characters and it is a story game, but it is very interactive and scary. i luv sal and larry's relationship and the dialogue feels so real and well developed.
minecraft - a classic cube sandbox game where you are placed into a world and must survive, you can do anythign basically. ive been playing with mods - all the mods 8 rn - and its super fun, it adds a freshness to the game that it has lacked (ive been playing it for 8 years lmao)
hades - a roguelike dungeon crawling combat game. you are the son of hades and are trying to escape the underworld with the help of the gods of olympus. it is combat based, but the story is fun and the game has good music. you are meant to die and repeat your escape attempts, and the game is interesting to learn.
celeste - a pixelated platformer. amazing trans rep and has a storyline i guess but is mainly platforming. i luv madeline and this game has the most amazing soundtrack. the controls are fun and easy to grasp and the fandom is so nice!!
legend of zelda: breath of the wild - a classic. love the open world, but im personally finding it too tricky. i like the game mechanics but my weapon's are constantly breaking and i am dying sm.
sims 4 - i have been playing the new 'growing together' expansion pack and it is so fun! the infants are so cute and it adds a whole layer of childhood. i have been addicted to cc shopping lately, and am playing with a few mods too!

I see you need nice messages about Glass so here are some of my favorite parts of the fic: Your writing of Rocketduo is so good, they are often ignored in sbi/crimeduo-fics so I love how you incorporate them in most of your stories. They’re done so well too, they have real personalities and aren’t just there for the sake of namedropping or random background characters. I especially like how they defend Wilbur in the most recent chapter, they’ve spent so much time with him and despite him being an asshole to them earlier they really could be considered his friends at this point.
The way you’re writing Charlie makes me laugh. You’ve given him the perfect amount of weird and unsettling mixed with competence. Yes, he will ask to see your teeth and ask if you’ll get him bones. No, he will not be bribed. Quackity is great as well. He’s only appeared once but he has this gravitas about him that I can’t describe. We don’t know much about his character, but he is willing to work with the terrorist group under his casino, and that says a lot about a man. I love TNTduo interactions, and you really nailed it. The Pythia’s Prophecy was so funny, and then it was so clever to have them get Wilbur’s fingerprints from it. No way I could have guessed that was the reason Tommy brought him up there.
And the hypocrisy from Wilbur and slow realization from the group of his trauma is so wonderfully written. The flashback’s from the recent chapter did so much for his character, they were such great additions. I can’t wait to see how this all plays out, especially with how the group seems split in two. Don’t listen to the people who don’t understand your story, you’re doing a great job and there are so many people who love your work. I hope you have a better rest of the day 😊
god this ask just made me smile so much I even told my mom about it because I'm sitting with her rn so tysm!!
I'm so glad you like how I write rocketduo. I LOVE c!rocketduo so much and their dynamic was part of what compelled me to even make an mcyt blog in the first place. i love niki and jack so much (cc's and c's both) and their c! dynamic is so underrated. I love including them whenever I can, especially because it gives a unique switch up from the usual sbi + beeduo mix you usually get in sbi fics. also I just adore both of them as individual characters, so I try to keep them as accurate to their characterization as possible (while of course altering them for the specific au) bc again, they're so underrated. I'm having a great time with them in glass and I have plans to highlight them more as the story goes on!
charlie!! I have so much fun writing him. sometimes I worry I'm writing him too weirdly, but then I think about it and i'm like no... charlie slimecicle would want me to write him like this dsklfjdk. but I'm trying not to fall into the stereotype of infantilizing him either bc it definitely bugs me when people do that in fics. he's a really interesting and wacky character and I love just seeing what wild shit I can make him say. he's a great breath of comedic relief in glass for sure.
quackity my beloved. I love writing quackity so much you have no idea, especially his interactions with wilbur. c!tntduo is one of the best character dynamics on the server (besides c!crime of course) so I have a great time spotlighting them whenever I can, and I love how I've written him in glass so far. I'm really excited to show more of him as the fic goes on :D he's definitely an interesting character to show glimpses of
the pythia's prophecy was something i came up with off the top of my head and i was so proud of it lmao
the flashbacks in the most recent chapter were actually eli birdfeet's suggestions so shoutout to them for that! they gave me the idea in our dms and i was like holy shit you're a genius and i'm thrilled with how it turned out. the way things develop from here is definitely going to be very interesting :)
tysm for this again I'm already having a better day thanks to all of you guys pouring in with your kind words <33

Hi! I love your posts and your gameplay so thought I’d ask you this and see if you have any advice :)
I’m doing a lil simple story with some gameplay aspects into it, and i’m wondering if you have any tips on how two potential love interests could meet, for the first time? Like occasions/places/situations? Story/pose wise (poses to use to make a specific situation or encounter) and also like gameplay wise (where they could meet in game through gameplay, like events, places or other stuff that happens when you play) hopefully that makes sense! Thanks a lot!!
Oh wow, it's actually kinda been a while since my sims have actually gone through anything like this, tbh, so idk if I'm really the person to ask, but...
Probably my most recent memory of any kind of meeting was between Zachary and Blake, and technically ( in my head ) they already knew one another in high school, but when I began playing them, I literally just threw a bunch of other sims with them into one big lot, and let the game decide whether they would "find each other in a room full of strangers" is one way to put it. They did, crazily enough, which is funny bc I was actually expecting one of them to go for Heather, but they went right to one another and began flirting almost immediately.
I'm kinda weird though, and I kinda like it when sims just interact organically, despite my headcanon, plans or expectations. The Sims 3 is incredibly chaotic compared to The Sims 4 when it comes to this, the sims in it are a bit more complex I guess... compared to TS4 sims imo, but the attraction system is kinda garbage, luckily their traits kinda do most the work when it comes to actual compatibility... like I wasn't really expecting Oba to find someone while at college, but he met Mika at a party, and they just really hit it off, so I kinda just jumped off of what happened in my game, bc TS3 is kinda about that anyway, it's a very... team effort kind of game, the player has control, but it can also pick up where the player leaves off if they want, and quite well if you manage to capture your sim/character well enough through traits.
Now, as for strictly posed, story focused, and planned meetings honestly it's really up to you. Find inspiration from some of your fav romantic media, whether it be books or TV, and don't let anyone tell you anything is too cliché, it's romance, it's supposed to be a little bit cliché, love is kinda corny sometimes and that's okay.
Outline an idea, gather the cc you need, there's sooo much cc out there for sims storytellers, it isn't even funny, and a lot of it you can easily find on cc finds blogs through their tags systems if they've got it, and for starters, why not hit up @ts4-poses? Then decide whether you wanna control the entire event yourself, or if you'd like the game to make a go at it. You can always exit without saving if things don't go as planned, no one will know ( how will they know, lol ), or hell, if it doesn't go as planned, and your sim flirts with Don Lothario at the romance festival instead ( like an old sim of mine did ), who's to say that isn't the start of a beautiful romance, or a doomed one... it's up to you!

🔥 go to town lmao
FUCK yes
you know what i wanna talk about? i wanna talk about the way muhc of the dsmp fandom are, in many ways, so deeply ignorant and irreverent of fandom history, fandom etiquette, and even moreso of in which ways it is appropriate to interact with fellow fans online. i wanna talk about the deeply warped path fandom has taken in this new uptick of fans being not only actively malicious towards those groups that they- and i hope to fuck that they're not sincere in this hatred and it's merely an excuse, because if not then i'm legit worried for their media comprehension skills and how far they're gonna get in life like that- consider as 'villianous' and 'evil' for their defense of "evil" characters (not that they're cartoonish one-dimensional characters at all, but that's a different rant.). i would sincerely love to see these people face to face so i can grab them tight by both shoulders and shake while screaming incoherently. WHY DO YOU THINK CCS PLAYING CHARACTERS WHO DISAGREE WITH YOUR FAVORITE BLORBO SOMEHOW MAKES THEM TERRIBLE PEOPLE. DO YOU ALSO THINK THAT WHEN MOTHER HAS HIDDEN HER FACE BEHIND HER PALMS SUDDENLY SHE IS GONE FOREVER.
anyway. sorry about that. the point is; the treatment of fans by fans is so incredibly fucked up. and i'm a little pissed at how a significant amount of chats are not discouraged from this at all, and are instead actively encouraged to escalate sometimes even to violence in the pursuit of some fake pseudo-activism towards actual real human beings over block game people. i'm also pissed at how that's very much always been in some way part of how fandom behaves (if you know the fandom 1% theory that's basically what i'm saying here) but it's been steadily devolving to just do this sort of wild marginalization of fans over liking a "villain" character (SOMETHING THAT HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE DONE. DOES LOKI MEAN NOTHING TO YOU? ANAKIN SKYWALKER????)
and also i think this is worsened as time goes by bc a lot of people come into fandom without any intention of learning about its past or how people tend to interact within those spaces and being assholes about it. and that's upsetting.

I believe people are in their rights to be kinda upset to a certain degree but a lot of people in this fandom just takes things toooo personal like they put themselves in the narrative and feel personally attacked when is nowhere near. And I always say “believe the victim” but also hold your reserves you know? Like you don’t know them either as you don’t know cc. So yeah I believe this fandom is too parasocial and they need to go out to the world and live which I know right know they are just starting bc of the pandemic so they kinda have an excuse but please people this is not “your” lifeeee. He doesn’t know you as neither does she. Support who you want but don’t let that affect your personal health and life please
If this is about me being upset at the situation (and many others being upset), I will say I am currently studying for a career I've wanted for a long time and have made tons of contacts there, I have 2-3 completely seperate friend groups I belong to that know nothing of this fandom whatsoever. I interact with people over discord vc or in real life daily that do not know anything of this fandom. I don't think it's as easy as "just don't let it affect you" and I certainly don't think the solution is that people just need to go outside.
If you watch a favorite show you really like and the creators do something that rubs you the wrong way, that is going to affect you, and the characters aren't even real people.
I think different people are affected by different things and are allowed to do so. They are sentient humans just as much as you that understand things such as mental toll and exhaustion and emotional investment and are perfectly capable of making their own decisions in their lives.
The way the "he doesn't know you" stands as an argument already shows that the concept of "just dont let it affect your life and go outside" really talks down on people. You assume they themselves don't have an understanding of what getting emotinally involved could potentially do to them and don't have the ability to view things outside their perspective whatsoever, and that you must remind them like a child that is playing dress up that the toys are not, in fact, real. It's condescending, and I hope I've made it clear why.
Sometimes, certain things bring people a lot of joy. Like a LOT of it. This is heightened with mental illness, troubles with family and friends and in general, and even more so with neurodivergencies that tend to hyperfocus on specific topics. The happier something makes you, the more it can hurt you. So you either do not allow anything to make you THAT happy and always curb it before it goes up (good luck on that it sucks), or you only let things make you happy that are "safe" and thus "untouchable" that would somehow never be able to hurt you (basically impossible, we can't see the future).
It's easy to say "he doesn't know you". Yeah, no shit. And? They were happy, and now all that is potentially crashing down. You don't know the people that are upset, either, whom you're very confidantly telling to go outside and switch off their emotions.
I absolutely don't mean to come off agressive, but I hope I explained why this line of thinking is really off putting to a lot of people and I absolutely do not agree with it.

Hello! I am 18F looking for long term fandom roleplay of double ups of CC x OC. I am literate and also semi literate, use third person POV! I have a good amount of fandoms I am hyperfixating on right now. My only requirements is for my roleplay partner to be 18+ and at least is semi literate.
Fandoms I'm currently really wanting to do along with the canons I want to pair up my OC with:
Doctor Who(Show)(Tenth Doctor)
Jessica Jones (Show)(Killgrave)
Shining Nikki(Game)(Mercury)
I can play any one of other characters from the fandoms for your OC! (Doctor Who depends bc Im still currently watching the seasons for the 12th doctor) Roleplay will/may contain dark and other sorts of themes! I'm very open minded when it comes to ideas for plot! My pairs tend to be F/M, but if you wish for M/M or F/F for your pair let me know! I mostly roleplay on discord. We can discuss the general stuff and plots. I also love bonding with my roleplay partners. Making headcanons, scenarios, music playlists and geeking out about our pairs! So if you're interested, please interact with this post by liking or reposting and I'll reach out to you! Thank you.

was cissnei the turk who did before crisis? or would that be one of her co workers?
Tumblr media
Anons Always Welcome! <3 
Tumblr media
So as a general note before I actually answer your question, Nonnie - I don’t really apply Before Crisis to much on this blog. XD I apply it in the sense that yes, Cissnei was a Turk already prior to Crisis Cores events and thing happened - I don’t erase the fact there is a lot of lore in that game! It still happened and I will never deny that - But my particular take on Cissnei wasn’t involved in much of BC’s events, and was forcibly ‘retired’ from her role as a Turk post-CC. She still counts the other Turks as her friends and would know them, so other Turk rp’er’s from BC can count on Cissnei still being open for interactions, but I don’t actually apply Cissnei being the player turk or being heavily involved on this blog. <3
But with that being said, to actually answer your question: Yes and no. Yes in that Cissnei is one of many playable Turks the player can choose as their character, hence why Cissnei’s real name is never revealed in CC - Because you as the player could choose that name in BC. But it’s also no in that... Again, she was one of several and most of the events of BC are written in such a way that it could have been any of the playable Turks in the events you play through? It’s not a specific single Turk, and even much of the lore is shown to have all the Turks taking care of things as a group, as is their way in general.
It’s also a no in that, as far as I’m aware, Cissnei (as Shuriken) is only playable after the game reaches events taking place after CC’s end, as her mission to that point was to watch and follow Zack around? So there’s no way she could have been the primary Turk for the entire game’s events?
So as much as I’d like to give you a concrete answer, I have to channel the Nopons of the first Xenoblade Chronicles and unfortunately make my answer a resounding Yesno. XD

tldr to my earlier discourse post:
“the characters are not the CCs who play them” and “the characters can not be divorced from the CCs who play them” are statements that can and should exist

Could you please do forgetful y/n meeting revived Wilbur and how they interact with each other please, I really adore the forgetful y/n series your amazing💜
thank you!! I'm so glad you like it :D <33
also I'm getting rid of the "parts" thing, I'm just gonna do "prev // next", all the parts will still be in the masterlist though !!
prev // next
warnings: violence, abuse/torture, scapegoating / blaming one person or group of people for all the bad things, limbo mention, revivedbur, y/n is going thru a lot in the fic, this isn't a lot of revivedbur I'm so sorry I just kinda wrote 😭, also you can definitely tell I like c!dream (if you don't, don't read!)
I initially planned more for this but I'm just trying to get it out of my drafts at this point, is been here for so long
note: all people mentioned are the characters they play in the dream SMP and on the actual content creators, nor do these characters reflect what the real ccs would do or believe
first off, y'all would absolutely not get along right away! you're not like ranboo, you're kind, yes, but you're not a pushover and will make your choices and opinions blaintly obvious, especially to people you don't know
haha fun for you tho /s bc he decided that was fun, Wilbur doesn't like people who blindly agree with him or are pushovers, why do you think he likes quackity? so yeah, you were another person like that
the interactions are fun though because they're always packed full of sarcasm
"I just got back from-"
"do I get pity points if I act like I care?"
"excuse me?"
"i SAID-"
anyway, after hearing him talk about dream a bit — unwillingly listening, but my point still stands — then you'll have a curiosity about him
you only met dream a few, very short, times, and those times were usually influenced by someone else, you you never met him one on one
nor did you even have the need or want to visit him before now — from what you heard he was a terrible person, a horrible, unlawful, controlling tyrannat
and you believed them, they know him better than you, right?
but Wilbur talking about him didn't match up? why not? maybe he was just insane — I mean he clearly was, but maybe that applied here too. or was he telling the truth and everyone else lied to you?
so, you went to visit, suddenly curious about this dilemma the others unknowingly (well, you weren't too sure Wilbur was unknowing about it) set you with
standing outside of Pandora's vault, you were suddenly anxious to visit, you know this prisoner could kill you if he so desired
you took a deep breath to calm down, though when releasing it, it came out as a shaky sigh, "curiousity killed the cat.." you mumble, entering
you almost back out once the warden told you the procedure for visiting a prisoner
like they kill you? you're curious and impulsive, yes, but you're also not an idiot! you're not loosing a life over seeing some dude with a smiley mask, hell no!!
but, you agree after he assures that I'd be quick, painless, won't leave a scar, and won't take a canon life — you were going to ask how it was possible to do all that while still killing somebody, but you didn't want another crisis to work through, so you didn't
as the lava made way for you, you started shaking again, but held onto the hem of the sweater you wore that day, hoping that'd make it less noticeable
once stepping off the platform and into the cell, you kind of jolted in shock once the prisoner turned around
this tyrannat, killer, manipulator, this all powerful god of destruction and distress was bruised, beaten, tired, starving, dirty
how could someone so powerful, look so weak?
would you have found a sense of satisfaction if had known him? you worried you might've, Tommy definitely did before he was killed, would you be the same?
your morals and open mind wouldn't let you, right? but still you worried, even though it wasn't a reality so you didn't need to.
you detached one of your hands from your, now wrinkled, sweater hem and show a small wave
you took deep breaths, hopefully subtly enough to where he didn't notice, he was still a threat from what you knew, no matter how weak he looked.
"um, hi" you started, sitting on the obsidian floor fairly far away from him, and in a way that you could stand up fast if needed
dream returned the small wave you gave, "hey? I haven't seen you before, have I?"
"oh, ah, well-" you awkwardly laughed "only a couple of times, but I uh, I just wanted to ask a few questions if that's okay?"
he nodded, waiting for your questions
after the trip, you would consider yourself a changed person, now seeing his point of view.
(if you don't know his point of view lmk, I'd be happy to explain it :D dm, ask, either is fine, though ask would be easier to explain through!)
you distanced yourself from everyone, even your brother, you just needed time to think it over, why didn't anything match up??
you sat, locked in your house, your only visits being to l'manberg, or "l'manhole", that name still made no sense to you.
and you stayed that way for many weeks
no one saw or heard from you for many weeks
once you did slowly start socializing again, you seemed more separated from everyone, even Tommy. ranboo was the only one exempt from this, you trusted him, he wasn't one of the ones swearing up and down about how innocent l'manberg is- was. how innocent l'manberg was.
they were worried — rightfully so, you left without telling anyone where you went or why and suddenly you come back, seemingly detached from everyone? that seems like stable grounds for worry, but you didn't want to talk about it
if you told them you visited dream they would baby you or hate you or worry about you, and you wanted none of the above. and if they know what was on your mind? what would you tell them? you aren't telling them the truth. you try looking someone in their eyes and admitting that you might be thinking about if they lied to you ever since you met. yeah, wouldn't go over well? exactly, same issue.
however, Wilbur, being Wilbur, wouldn't leave you alone so you're trying to distance yourself from most everyone while this zombie with a creepy scar is following you around and trying to talk
he leaves you alone when youre around ranboo, mostly, though! he wants to keep ranboo working at the burger van so he has to keep him image up around him
you confront a few others about dream and what happened but? everyones views seem to be same in the way that he's a bad guy and was a tyrant
but, he doesn't seem like one? and you saw his view about it being his land, l'manberg was only bad because they took part of a land that was supposed to be home to many and said it was off limits if you didn't meet the guidelines
so, xenophobic. he was happy everyone was finding a home, but not in the way that it took away from the family they were supposed to be, and you couldn't understand that
wrong thing for the right reasons
and after talking to Wilbur – no matter how uneasy he made you – you found out that l'manberg was never ment to be a home in the first place! it was made to "stick it to the man", so, essentially, just to piss dream off.
you separated yourself from Tommy more than the others, not on purpose, it just happened. and you eventually got back in contact with your friends – well, most of them anyway
you decided to talk to ranboo about what's going in with you, see if he had any ideas to help, he always had your back, right? :)
