Welcome to the Dungeons of Fear and Hunger.

#Fear and Hunger #D'arce Cataliss #Cahara #Ragnvaldr #Enki Ankarian #Unlike Dungeon Meshi - I cannot in good faith recommend this game to a broad audience. #My background with F&H goes as follows: I am hanging out with a friend. He says “hey try this game I've been playing.” I say “Okay!” #I have never heard of this game. I pick the mercenary. I go through 5 min of character history and background. I am mauled to death by dogs #It took me 4 resets to even get in the dungeon. But I finally get there. I am caught by a guard. He cuts off all but one of my limbs #I am forced to crawl around in a blood and corpse pit until the game tells me 'give up idiot'. #I reset. I am mauled by dogs again. I realize this is not for me but I am intrigued enough to go home and watch some playthroughs #And WOW what an interesting game it is! I really do appreciate games that blend their design philosophy with the theme it wants to set #This is a game about fear and hunger. And persevering. And penis (my god is there a lot of penis) #I recommend this to people who like extremely challenging games and can handle the many *content warnings* within this series #If the idea of Bloodborne/eldenring and undertale having a little RPG maker baby sounds appealing to you - give it a shot #It's made by ONE GUY and it's a great horror game. I am just really bad at it. #My friends just enjoy putting me in situations where I scream and yell. We don't talk about the corn mazes. Or the other horror game nights #Apparently I'm funny when I'm Scared! #As people who follow me on twitter might know; I am deep in the pits of this series right now. I will be back with more art.

miscellaneous danyal al ghul things

specifically about the danyal al ghul from my post/prompt here and i wanna get my misc. headcanons/thoughts on him (especially in his early stay with the fentons) out here before i make any other danyal al ghul aus

list under the cut because whoops this got longer than i expected. which really i should have expected

the Fentons are unaffiliated with the League, which was perfect for Danny faking his death.

he struggles with empathy. Empathy was not taught nor encouraged while he was with the League, so it's a skill that's been pretty stunted. At 15 he's better at empathizing with people, but he still struggles with it. He's pretty bad at reassuring/comforting people and usually acts as an emotional rubber duck for Sam and Tucker to vent to if need be. He sometimes offers blunt and sometimes mean opinions, especially if its about another person.

Sam and Tucker do not know he's an ex-assassin, they are however, pretty positive that he used to be part of an eco-fascist cult with a focus on martial arts?? They've been helping him tone down some of his more,,, extreme views on humanity ever since they caught wind of his more extreme ideologies.

He and Sam are still avid environmentalists and feed into each other quite a bit. They spend plenty of time at protests and pestering the school into more eco-friendly options.

Dash is not dead on the sole fact that Danny knew he had to lay low in Amity Park and killing someone was not, in fact, 'laying low'.

he did, however, traumatize him when Dash first tried to bully him. Safe to say, Danny is not bullied at school and neither are Sam and Tucker.

Danny didn't make any friends in his first year at Amity Park. He was surly, grumpy, standoffish, more stubborn than Sam, and pretty self-important about himself. Jazz was trying to teach him against these things, but she is a 12 year old unaffiliated with the League. Danny did not respect her nor listen to a word she said. It wasn't until like, year two that he finally started paying to mind what she was saying and slowly started to improve on himself

Sam approached him first, he rebuffed her quite harshly, and then Danny approached her sometime afterward when he overheard her talking about environmental rights. Sam completely ignored him though when he agreed with her, and Danny had to later learn that he needed to apologize for being rude to her when they first met. He did so eventually, and they started to talk more with Tucker and Sam.

Danny's a bit more reserved than he is in canon, although he steadily learns how to act as a regular teenager when he's out in public. He's a bit more friendlier at least, although when he's around Sam and Tucker he drops the act. He still has a somewhat formal way of talking, it's just become more casual after a lot of ribbing from Sam and Tucker. When he's angry or annoyed he starts talking poshly though.

His humor is relatively the same as in canon, if somehow dryer and more insulting at some points

Those rare moments where he gets really pissed usually ends up with him insulting someone in arabic or any of the other languages he picked up from the league. He is the go-to for Tucker's Spanish homework. (Tucker makes that mistake and learns that Danny is a very strict teacher)

while Danny doesn't view the Fentons as his parents, even five years after living with them, he does respect them to some amount. He respects them enough at least that when Vlad Masters comes sniffing around, he is suitably offended on both Maddie and Jack's behalf. And when he finds out Vlad was the one who tried to kill Jack and tried to tell him to renounce him as his father/parental guardian, danny threw a suitably sharp object at him and insulted him quite horrendously

Vlad still wants him as his kid. In fact perhaps even moreso after this.

Danny trains with Maddie to keep up with his training. It's not quite the same but it prevents him from getting completely rusty

Sam and Tucker know that Danny has a little brother, but nothing else beyond that other than Danny cares about him quite a lot and that he got his facial scar from keeping him safe.

Danny cares about Sam, Tucker, and Jazz quite a bit, but he struggles to convey it. Especially early on when he realized he cared about them and like instinct started being harsher to them and more critical of their actions. This resulted in quite a few arguments with Sam and Tucker and Jazz until he got sat down and told outright that the way he was treating them wasn't okay. It's a process he's still trying to unlearn even at 15. He has become kinder towards them as a result, and has begun looking for what they did right rather than what they did wrong.

He harbors a lot of guilt over how he treated Damian in the League, and its a pretty big conflict he has with himself since he's torn between telling himself it was for the best to make sure Damian survived the League, and feeling like crap over how harsh/critical of Damian he was and realizing that he probably could have come up with a better way of training him despite being a child himself at the time. Danny comes to the realization that more than anything, that he just wants to apologize.

His ghost form, specifically is outfit, is a combination of his hazmat suit and his uniform from the league, and he carries a sword with him. He also doesn't know how to react to Dani, honestly. Although it is fair to say that he figures out she's a clone instantly because of her whole 'I'm your third cousin once removed' thing and he freaks out. She spills the beans pretty quickly after that. And Danny is pretty skittish around her - or the equivalent of skittish. Her being younger than him kinda reminds him of Damian, so he's uncomfortable by her presence but learns to warm up to her.

#dpxdc #dp x dc #dp x dc crossover #danny fenton is not the ghost king #dpxdc crossover #dpdc #dpxdc headcanons #dp x dc headcanons #danyal al ghul: exists #me: lets give him emotional constipation :) as a treat #older brother danny #sam+tucker: dude... were you part of a cult???? danny: excuse me? sam+tucker: were you. part of a cult #danny: it was not a *cult--* sam+tucker: oh my god you were part of a cult. that explains sO MUCH #danny is pr morally grey even at 15. he's starting to get the hang of this 'human life' thing though! he thinks. #but he is still the embodiment of that tiktok audio 'why dont we just kill these fucking people' even if he keeps it to himself sometimes #sam+tucker+jazz: dont litter danny: yes of course thats obvious s+t+j: okay then dont *kill* danny: now you've lost me #danny nearly stabbed dash when they first met. more accurately he nearly took off his finger like the train scene from the mummy movie 2 #with alex and that big guard guy who stabbed the table in between his fingers. “woah.” “Tt. i missed” #late night starry posts #not proof read and thus there will prolly be mistakes

sometimes Lovecraft is actually funny in his xenophobia

#literature #he'll just throw this shit in there at times #like most of the time he's unbearable when it comes to this shit #but the Norwegian took me off guard

[designernishiki]

majima’s a ridiculously flexible motherfucker and we all know this but can I just point out for a second. there’s a heat move kiryu can do in y6 where while throwing someone he does a full back bend (goes into a bridge from standing) and flips himself around to get back up. which takes some flexibility for the average person, let alone a guy who’s going on fucking FIFTY

#idk I just. I needed to acknowledge that because it took me off guard #man can arch his fuckin back………like ok 😳 #I tried to get a screenshot of it but I kept fucking it up and timing it bad so I eventually just gave up #you’re just gonna have to trust me #kiryu #y6 #rambling

Man, after watching two episodes of Tristamp I don't really get what everyone means when they say it has a different tone. It's still pretty silly and light-hearted. I sure hope episode 3 won't be shockingly dark and viole-

Mini track + item search

#tracking on snow is easy peasy #love how he overshoots the track and tries going down the actual trail #but then self corrects once he realises the tracks have already turned off #also first time sending him into a lost item search in the middle of a track #he pulls like a freight train when the track is too easy #so he took me off guard at the start hahah! #excited for summer and more blood tracks #he was SO ready to get to work #didn't even budge when i came back to get him #just full work mode

[bahoreal]

give us the dream sequence analysis!!!!!! argh!!!!!!!! (<-threatening and scary, i hope)

i am suitably threatened and scared <3 sorry this took a hot minute i wanted to include screenshots!

so the dream sequence analysis I have is mainly based on costuming! we can all see that hornigold is the part of ed who wants him to die, the ruthless captain who tells ed all the things that makes ed angry and sad, the one who would send him to his death without a thought. what struck me was the outfits

hornigold is wearing what looks like an old sail, he's representing the part of ed that is on a ship, at sea. ed never wanted to come to land, and here's his old captain living in the liminal space between land and sea, dressed like he is still living off the sea, everything about him down to the ropes that drag on the floor show that the part of ed that is tied to the sea is the part that wants to die, wants a change (we already knew that from s1, but this is just. so literal)

and stede? fucking, merman stede?

he's golden, he's symbolising warmth and light, but aside from that he's a mythical creature. he's got a trident, which to me reads as posiden/neptune's trident. he's symbolising the god of the sea, (and in posiden's case, the god of storms) and with so much of ed being tied to the sea, and in impossible birds ed saying he never wants to leave the sea, stede turning up as the mythological embodiment of the sea? an untouchable, unreal, symbol who drags ed away from the sea and back to life? it just meant a lot to me

#ask #ofmd spoilers #im surprised on the greek mythology website that no one has pointed this out yet... im not even all that into greek mythology but this #this took me OFF GUARD #dogearedfriends #hope this was satisfying! they're both the sea! but they represent eds different connections to the sea! #and that stede is so UNTOUCHABLE. it just broke me a bit #ofmd

[pansetta]

People have been analyzing Scar as Hotguy being a very morally gray character with his own standards for a bit now, and then this guy just flat out says "I'm not really one for rules as Hotguy. But what I am into is killing hermits-" like that's so funny oh my god lmao

He absolutely does not care about the king's reign only for he gets to be an assassin and go on a murder spree whenever he pleases. Pop off I guess.

#hermitcraft season 9 spoilers #hermitcraft #goodtimeswithscar #it took me so off guard I love when he just blatantly says stuff like this #what is wrong with him (endearing) #pan rambles

I will never forgive Gojo for making Jogo (I’m probably spelling the name wrong) look so weak and then jogo ends up killing (?) the head of zenin clan so easily and almost killing Nanami and maki (I think she’s still alive idk). Literally sukona (def spelling his name wrong) was the only one in shibuya after gojo got sealed who could’ve killed jogo

#jjk spoilers #jujutsu kaisen #gojo satoru #jogo jjk #jujutsu kaisen jogo #that scene took me off guard #like jogo seemed rlly weak cuz of Gojo and then he just does that #like how tf #now think abt how insanely powerful Gojo is #i cant
