fav campaign and why

oh god im no good at having feelings or opinions so ill just go down a list rattling off my experiences with the campaigns

for the record from the start ive been cheating, ive Never played this game blind. id consumed a lot of rain world playthrough medias before playing it (im not good at playing games in the sense that i simply do not experience them- im a speedrunner at heart... or not competitive or intelligent, im just walking fast paced from start to end...) and when i did play i always had a map and the wiki open which i think diminishes some of the feeling. but i still had fun moving from place to place

SURVIVOR: its classic. its sweet. its fun. i played about halfway through myself, but the second half i completed with my "Boyfriend" so i remember it as being very entertaining as we both fumbled around and learned together. it serves its purpose well and i think anything i enjoy about rain world can be seen in the survivor campaign at least to start off with... 10/10 nothing special but no loss by playing it yknow. ive also done an outer expanse + baby run (ftr if you want baby fast before going to outer expanse, live in industrial for a while. cannot compete with that pup spawn rate + you can easily make the rounds to check like 5 shelters a cycle before its anywhere near over) which yes -_- did make me cry.

MONK: i.. dont like playing monk. friendliness from other creatures does not mean much to me when actively hostile creatures are near impossible to kill because my spear can travel one (1) slugcats worth in distance so i would not play this with my fairly aggressive play style... i only played it for the short time itd take to get to outer expanse and. again. yes. i cried -_- i think its very sweet, and i am like. (clinically) psychotically attached to monk where its very important to my heart BUT Its not fun as a game experience to me

HUNTER: i tried to jolly co op cheat and play as arti to finish this as i find arti the easiest to play as but i kept crashing which is. you know. very bad for the single campaign where you want to be losing the least so ive never made much progress with this one and i genuinely dont want to open hunter back up because of the crashing. i THINK This was because i was playing w the sunhat mod because ive never experienced that magnitude of crashing constantly and uninstalled it after and have not experienced that again until... well youll read later

GOURMAND: i played this one from the start with my "Boyfriend" and so again it was fun from that, ESPECIALLY because he played as artificer and so was essentially my chariot throughout the campaign... easy way to beat gourmands exhaustion: make your partner carry you. shrimple. its SO fun to beat the shit out of creatures and i do like being forced to just take a moment and walk around slowly, i havent found his exhaustion toooo terrible if youre just patient except when youre fighting creatures that have health enough that you cant kill them in one hit. but being able to just slam something to death is SO satisfying, i enjoyed it. HOWEVER, ive never actually gotten to the END (Due to "Boyfriend" availability, we've stopped just outside the outer expanse gate). and of course, yes, every single fucking time i watch someone go into outer expanse i CRY LIKE A BABY. the first i think DOZEN times i watched people go through outer expanse, id start WAILING whenever i just saw slugcat npcs, it tugs and tears at my heart strings so badly. youre not alone. youve spent a campaign or two trudging through a wasteland empty of kind relatable figures but youre HOME now, just as you left it, and everyones so happy to see you back. im crying now . (do i just cry a lot? Maybe. im at an emotional point in my life... be nice.) 12/10 above survivor def, and gourmands my most favorite to play as in expedition- cant argue with that combat system + exhaustion isnt too bad for me + i love the variety of the world, its not impossibly difficult while not being easy.

ARTIFICER: ive never finished revenge route, ill be going to a different save file to try and it now, instead ive finished the ascension route. i know arti can be... extremely frustrating to play because its hitting a wall again and again and again but i really didnt have too much trouble approaching it knowing i had to be prepared to die + using my map a lot ("WTF this game is so unfair i cant see enemies about to shoot me!" Use Your Map. use your map and slug senses) + of course... ample map skills so im not ambling and getting like im getting lost and dying for nothing. though i will say, i did nearly give up at exactly the end- i think its the camera scroll mod but subterranean made the game near unplayable. like 0.5 frames per second, computer screaming, crashing i think a half dozen times again in an area where i NEEDED the karma to the point where i had to passage in place so i could ascend, and then crashing i think thrice while i was in the depths, including not allowing me to see the end cutscene... specifically that huge room with the big pit would grind the game to a halt i think because its so large and all the enemy AI, and all the spiders and centipedes are a nightmare and i just... hated it. every other leg of the game was fine, rewarding, heart touching but dear fucking lord, subterranean isnt more difficult or intriguing its just "the games not going to play smoothly at all and heres 5000000 ridiculously enemies". i WANT to love it, you know i love arti, but its just impossible to play if you want to ascend. and of course revenge route is crazy short which feels bad. removed from my experiences though, i think its beautiful with the one caveat that revenge route is TOO short. ive watched way too many people who were interested in the lore never get to even the third dream because theres just not enough shelters if you run straight to metropolis, which makes me sad. but the story generally is beautiful and i love it (and i could talk about it later, some of the things people say about arti makes me.. insane. either that shes totally righteous in her actions, or that her pups deaths are her fault)

SPEARMASTER: playing this one while cheating both using the map to plan exactly the route you need and to go through precipice as arti for the double jump + to swallow the pearl made it an absolute dream. yes the world is very scary but you can avoid a lot of the worst parts by simply not being there <3 one part: i did forget to change back to spearmaster before going to moon and she did crash my game so . remember to do that. very good campaign both for me to have played without doing anything as intended (never touched a broadcast), combat is fun, but also a very good story. i really like five pebbles and... i cannot get into the degree of five pebbles apologist i am i genuinely cant detail this without going off the rails. regardless; much 2 think about.

RIVULET: never played this one + not playing this one very scary looks bad dont want it. no rot no underwater sections no thank you. wont touch it. wont look at it. thank you

SAINT: hesitant to play this one due to the adventure aspect though i already got all echoes with arti so it cant be that bad- of course the story aspect of it all cannot be understated and it fully shattered my world view when i got into it. rain worlds live and die messaging has really helped me through suicidal and delusional periods and im very glad for what can be gleaned from saints story so i do like it a lot. as ive said before its also so amazing how a game with little to no tutorial text or cutscenes can have numerous jaw drop moments (with max karma reveal and descent into rubicon)

SOFANTHIEL: funny haha! (Jumps around

#ask #and you dont need to know why i keep referring to 'boyfriend'. thats for me to know ok ? <3

what are ur hermitcraft, empires, and traffic life stars and constellations hcs? :0

OKAY, SO.

First thing's first. Every minecraft world has a different sky, and therefore different stars. No world's celestial sphere is the same. This means the inhabitants of a new world are met with a sky full of stars they don't recognize in the slightest, and it's common to map out those stars at least to some degree- whether to track their movements or learn to navigate by them or just for fun.

This being said, the stars in each season of hermitcraft have been completely different, and it's become a tradition for the hermits to spend the first few nights of each season mapping out the stars and making up constellations. It happens in the first few nights because it helps to be able to navigate by the stars, it's less likely for anyone to already have a bed, and it's pre- light pollution. Different hermits or groups of hermits make up different ones, or sometimes try and find stars in the right position to recreate some from previous seasons. I think in season 6 they might have made up constellations based on the theme of whatvever area they lived in, for example, and in every single world Scar always and without fail chooses a group of stars to be a Jellie constellation. I have some ideas for other specific ones, but if anyone else has Thoughts I'd love to hear 👀

...

The constellations in Empires were created a little differently. Instead of everyone coming up with constellations and sharing them with all the others to make a full sky map of constellations they all (more or less) agree on like hermitcraft, each individual empire has their own way of interpreting the stars. Constellations depend on the history and culture of each empire, and although they are created separately travellers may share the constellations of their home empire with those from others. The Ocean Empire would have an overwhelming majority of. Yknow. Ocean themed constellations, but would perhaps adopt some from Mezalea and the Cod Empire, and those empires would adopt some of the Ocean Empire's constellations in turn. Rivendell would have constellations based on their myths, legends, and history- the most prominent ones would probably be Aeor and Exor. Those are the empires I'm most familiar with, but again if anyone has any ideas 👀 👀 👀

...

With the three different death games of the life series, things are a little different. Unlike Hermitcraft and Empires there's not a whole lot of time to go charting out all the stars, and the accessible world is so small that even if they had time to learn to navigate by stars they wouldn't really need to- familiarity with the land is a whole lot easier. Additionally, being outside at night just to stare up at the stars isn't a risk a whole lot of people would be willing to take in the first few nights, so even the hermits who are familiar with that tradition probably would think better of it. This means less constellations are created (and few of them properly charted out), but I don't doubt some would come into existence anyway- just after everyone gets settled in a little more.

In 3rd life, constellations would get made after the first alliances form and a decent amount of resources are gathered. It's when everyone feels a little safer. They have allies, tentative or not, as well as a place to call home that's likely well lit enough to avoid mob spawning (and if not, they can stargaze from their roofs). I imagine the different groups and people would make up different constellations based on their goals or things they're proud of. Bdubs might insist that one large group of stars is his and Cleo's crastle (which is very big, of course). Scar and Grian might look up at the sky and see pizza the llama. Etho, slightly upset still about what had happened back at the village, might connect the stars to his tree. More constellations would be decided on in late game as well. Ren might point out a symbol for Dogwarts in the stars- their flag, his crown, or maybe an axe.

In last life things would be much the same, but the constellations themselves different. Etho, again, would find his tree. The Southlanders would see a spyglass. Scar, on his lonely mountain, would take the time to create and hang up a chart of the stars that make up a magical crystal in the sky. There could be a constellation known among all of them as well, spread through the whole group through word of mouth. The boogeyman constellation, like an omen in the sky.

In double life soulbound pairs would make up constellations to represent their bonds or their plans. Scar, before knowing Grian is his soulmate, might decide on Minnie the allay- his true soulmate- being represented in the stars. Jimmy and Tango would laugh together about a chicken constellation (they are team rancher, after all). Scott and Cleo may point out a symbol for broken soulbonds, or chosen soulmates. For Pearl, a possible constellation could be her dog, Tilly- the only friend she has left by her side.

The other thing about the life series constellations, though... One by one, they disappear. Each season starts out with a sky full of stars just as every other world, but eventually they blink suddenly out of being just like the lives of those that first found comfort in them.

starborne kingdom of dianite HC/AU aka i have constant mianite brain and need something to fill the lore void in my heart

[ID: character map of the Mianite characters as starborne. Across the top from left to right is Mianite, Mot, Dianite, Patricia, Ianite and Spark. A pink arrow points down from Dia to Jordan. Purple arrows connect Jordan (counterclockwise) to Tom, Tucker, Sonja and Waglington. To the right of Jordan is Scott, below Ianite and Spark. Below Scott is Martha the Mystic and Prince Andor. to the right of Andor is Capsize, Skipper Redbeard and Rupert the Gray together. end ID.]

hi welcome to the brainrot dump. i have a lot of stuff but I'll try to keep it as coherent as I can. I've left out some details for plot related reasons and so I don't ramble on too much, but feel free to ask if anything's confusing aaaaaaaa please be nice also

This is essentially Origins lore that frames it as a Mianite alternate universe based on Jordan's canonical lore where OSMP!Jordan is the son of "Jack"/Dianite, king of all Starborne + Ianite and Mianite are Dia's right hands, Tiem Reester is together and well, Starwizards are a thing, c!Syndisparklez is canon, Capsize is a space kraken (glow squid), and the S2 gangs all here. (also disclaimer ive only seen about 70% of S2 so those characters are very transformed)

some stuffs inspired by @ingapotejtoo artz <3 and ft. the design for the queen and the "scott son of Ianite" element by RedTriangleRich on twitter! who are both very cool and I love so much <3

ay. lets gooo. time to be the historian i made my starsona out to be

Royal Court of the Starborne

Consists of three siblings born from the first Ruler of the Stars- Mianite (the eldest, resembling an older star), Dianite, and Ianite (the youngest, resembling a new star) and their relations. Instead of the eldest being designated as the crown prince by the ruler at the time, it was designated by a red coloration shown at around 10-ish human years (time works differently on the Homeplanet), which happened to be the second born, Dianite.

Upon becoming king, Dianite designated his siblings as high class nobles, each having a jurisdiction over an element of the Starborne society- Mianite for infrastructure, and Ianite (later alongside her former mercenary- now husband Spark Conway from the moon-planet of Ruxomar (see below)) for history and the arts.

Dianite is married to Queen Khailani (name translated from this arbitrary language to the english name Petunia ) from the former kingdom of NVIDIA (now currently under the control of her EDIT: former lover who is secretly in alliance with the DMCA) who had been at war with Dianite's kingdom for years. The marriage was supposed to indicate a formal alliance between them, but most of the citizens view Pat as a traitor and still wreak havoc once in a while.

Dianite is also in a secret relationship with Mot, a Moonborne/former solider now groundskeeper cause Dia's relationship with the queen is very much open, i'm sure she's got people too wink wonk

Prince Jordan "Captain" Sparklez is the crown prince and son of Dianite (and someone not quite the queen) I don't have much lore for him since he's a canon character in Origins but I like to view him as a very insecure prince, one who is very skilled and can carry with him outward confidence but deep down is very scared, and isn't sure he's quite the guy for this job

Scott Smajor is the lost son of Ianite and Spark, currently living on the Overworld (as his canon character does). In summary, a surprise attack by NVIDIA led to him being flung into a wormhole at around 16ish Earth Years where he lived a nomadic life with a lost memory of the homeplanet before, yknow. origins During this time, he was presumed to be dead by Ianite, who went into a period of grief that led to her supernova-ing in the center of the city. Spark keeps hope, and hired Capsize and her crew to scour the galaxy to find him

Friends of The Prince

Awe yeeee tiem reester is canon baby

In this universe, they're basically the prince's group of friends who he's known since the academy (and who only stick around cause he treats them as equal, and are some of the few starbornes who don't want to be friends with him just cause he's the prince). They get into shenanigans all the time and Sonja built them a little hangout room in the castle with Jord's permission

Tom Syndicate is a member of Dianite's royal guard, a "knights of the round table" kind of designation to the guardsmen that Dia considers the most loyal and he trusts (as they tend to be in closer quarters with the royal court). he's a funky little dude who's a Moonborne (see below in factz) and takes his job as Jordan's "official-unofficial bodyguard" very seriously and they definitely kiss also

Tucker Jeriicho is Mianite's "right hand man" and former solider turned war strategist cause he's just that good at what he does >:] He's practically at Mianite's side at all times, and to some extent is treated by Mianite as the son he never had.

Because Mianite is infrastructure, he works a lot with one of Mia's chief architect Sonja Firefoxx, a Sinnochait starborne (basically meanin she's got ears and a tail made of space lava matter) She works mainly on castle expansions and room design

Sonja works hand in hand with the Fyerians, a group of specialized Starborne builders capable of reality manipulation to create blocks from star matter- basically the wizards- Matt, Tom, Phil- from FyreUK

Waglington is considered a Fyerian, but is moreso a Starwizard, a different kind of star magic user where a solar flare embedded a more powerful form of the central star’s power into their core; they are capable of stronger attacks and regenerative magic. He helps Sonja with making mockups and also does his own little magic stuff with alchemy

Moonplanet of Ruxomar

Within the solar system of the Homeplanet, there are other planets/bodies all under Dianite's jurisdiction, but ruled by lords/ladies, and Ruxomar is one of them. Ruled by Lord Helgrind (a gold colored moonborne) Ruxomar is considered a city of mercenaries and magicians, the most famous of such being the two children of Helgrind, Lady Martha and Sir Andor.

Martha is a Sinnochait (like Sonj) and a Starwizard and is known as a famous writer of starmagics, whose works Wag has been a longtime reader of. Due to of the rarity of Starwizards, she is the only other one he knows of. Andor, on the other hand is a feathered starborne and a very well trained archer. He's had his eyes on the royals for years, a little mystery ye for why

Space Pirates/Former DMCA agents

The current enemies of Dianite's kingdom is DMCA Agency, a kingdom with close proximity to NVIDIA. However, due to the nature of the DMCA, many starborne/citizens defect- and most famously of them are Capsize and her brother Skipper Redbeard.

After having served in the DMCA's agency for years, Capsize led a revolution against the leaders and was permanently damaged while fighting against her ex-fellow guards, and has a scar that allowed the spirit of a space kraken (the space version of a glow squid) to enter her core during the clearing of the species from the kingdom. It basically became a part of her that she can basically 'summon". pretty fitting when she became a full time pirate for hire, and useful. Jordan finds it annoying though that the kraken lives on in her when they spent so long eradicating the species

Redbeard is a corrupted starborne; the particles flowing off the side of his face are alike to the tail of a comet- also a side effect from their altercation with guards.

Wears an eyepatch because he quite literally has no eye there anymore. Rupert wears an eyepatch in solidarity, and because the person they purchased it from was only selling it as a pair

Rupert the Grey is a pirate friend they met along the way and is made up of asteroids; could perhaps be considered a “Astroborne”; isn’t really the origin of a starborne as the others are

Random Starborne Factz (bonus for fun)

The Homeplanet is a nebulous; but solid planet like structure that encircles a Central Star, which gives the Starborne their power

When starborne are born, or after a temp death/supernova, energy from that central star (replicated by stars in the sky from origins canon) emits an energy force that uses a pseudo-type of gravity that holds their solid forms together (the stability of balance for the human-like appearance combined with the star matter)- This is what starwizards can manipulate for healing

Because of this, in the event of eclipses or solar flares, it effects that stability/the way of using that star energy. Eclipses result in a Moonborne (who are less stable in varying levels depending on the stage of the eclipse; more susceptible to damage) and solar flares are how Starwizards are born

any way thats it. wowza

Top three turf war maps... ?

we were talking about this earlier & how a lot of my favorite stages design-wise, i really don't love to play on and how some of my favorite stages to play on, i'm not totally in love with the design LOL

by far the most gorgeous stage to me is probably the new brinewater springs map: i love how it's set around golden hour and there's so many details they put into the design that are so fun to look for in recon mode. i've spent at least 20 minutes just taking pictures like these:

there are just so many details and so much thought put into it, like i just want to live inside of this place, yknow? or, i would, if 50% of the time i played this map, i didn't get camped in, and the other 50% of the time, my teammates insist on camping in our oponnent's base ☹️. idk it's just not very fun either way when that happens

similar feelings about wahoo world, not always my favorite map to play (i get really stressed there all the time, for some reason) but the design is just impeccably adorable

(the low poly carousel i was trying to show you during our recon session the other day. btw when you get the chance show me what the camera looks like i'm so curious!)

we talked about most of my feelings about this specific stage and all of my feelings about it a few days ago but i still really wanted to include this picture :3

with that said, my favorite stages to actually play on are probably scorched gorge, eeltail alley, and sturgeon shipyard. gorge also has a really neat design that makes me love it just that much more, and eeltail alley/sturgeon shipyard i just have a routine down with how i like to play there, which makes me feel a lot more confident about what i'm doing.

of course, this only applies to turf war—i actually quite like brinewater springs for zones (though my favorite stage for that ironically is mincemeat metalworks... people don't like her but she's interesting for zones as a splat roller LMAO), and for tower control i'm weirdly partial to mahi. i could tell you which stages i DON'T like for rainmaker and i've only played clam blitz once, so that's not as interesting.

not to be a debby downer and i'm sure everything will go fine and you'll have nothing to worry about but as someone who has had far too many bad experiences with men, do you have a plan for what you're going to do if it turns out your friend's intentions uhhhh extend beyond the bounds of a friendship if you catch my drift? I'm sure it will be ok and he sounds like a genuinely good friend but some men are dodgy out here and it can be especially hard to suss someone out online so it's always good to have an escape route mapped out in advanced yknow what I mean? (assuming you wouldn't be down for it lol idk your relationship)

Oh no for sure it is a perfectly valid concern and I don't blame you for being worried at all. Given my family history and background I myself am one of those "women should always be careful being alone with men" kinds of people

So uh this is something I have already considered because to be perfectly honest we did have. Some sexual tension in the past. And you know idk if he still feels any attraction to me. In the past it was just kind of being inappropriate with each other for a while but I eventually kind of started realizing "hey do I just get like unhealthy levels of attached to men who show me approval and such" and I kinda had a little baby crush on him and I wasn't exactly sure if that was like related to daddy issues but. That was in the past and im hoping he doesn't remember it but I think he'll probably be cool about it if he does but I hope he doesn't bring it up bc I'll be so embarrassed, I was a little wild back then emotionally and impulsively 💀

I mean I guess my overall stance is, if things were going good and he got a little flirty I would maybe be receptive to it but like it would be hard for us to have any sort of deeper relationship living in two different countries. Like ok so hypothetically we would bang or something but dating would be long distance and idk if my heart could take that so it's like is it worth sacrificing our friendship for something physical, I doubt I could be one of those friends with benefits, I have attachment issues that I don't think would mesh well, idk. Although to be perfectly honest going to see him isn't especially difficult, the expensive thing is mostly having to pay for a hotel while I visit because he has housemates, which, apparently Canada has one of the most expensive housing markets in the entire world and I think all of my Canadian friends either have multiple roommates or live with their parents which sounds scary haha, and we were randomly talking about US citizenship one day and how bullshit the process to renounce it was (I was speaking of it in regards to joking about moving to Europe) and he mentioned that it was a big reason he wasn't interested in US citizenship

So. I dunno. I guess my overall answer is "he's someone I trust and feel affection for at least platonically but I also recognize I have my own mental health issues and past trauma that can kind of affect how I interact and am influenced by men and maybe I should just avoid certain things entirely"

But until then he's asking if I would be interested in learning how to play MTG and he's asking me to bring soup to make into this dip and he bought some weed and it sounds like it'll be a lot of fun :) idk. I am mentally preparing myself for. Idk. Stuff. But there's no use making myself paranoid over it, and also my mom keeps trying to wig me out

We'll see fjdjfjfjf im probably going to intend to keep things chill and I don't have any fears of him trying to force me into anything but if things got too awkward like, I have my own motel room and money and can have the rest of my vacation by myself I guess

13 and 14 :>

Disco Elysium Asks!

13.) What is your least favourite aspect of the game mechanics?

Hmm this is hard. I think the only thing that kinda annoyed me was having to run from the fishing village to the Whirling-In-Rags, especially if I had to go back an forth to talk to people or if I'd forgotten to do something prior to getting to one location from the other. The only thing that then made it funny to me was that Kim complained about "all the running" and it then became something that even the game was poking fun at. I have a terrible memory so even when I thought I'd made sure I had ticked off all the tasks I needed to in one section of the map, I'd miss something so really it's on me. Harry and Kim have great calves after my playthroughs tho!

14.) What was the moment that touched you most while playing?

Oh man there are so many! I think besides the ones we all felt something during (Shivers in the church I'm lookin at you) I think I'm gonna have to go with telling the woman her husband was dead. I've touched on how well the game covers the range of human emotion and I personally feel like this quest is a huge example of that. There was a quietness about talking to the wife, the evidence of a life lived in every single part of that quest. There was a weight to delivering her the news of her husband. I appreciated that you as the player could step into that moment of grief and feel it the way it needed to be felt. She knew he wouldn't make it home one day but anyone who's lived with an addict always hopes it won't be today. It just took the wind outta me and was one of the moments I had to kinda sit in silence for a bit, especially cause idk you don't think of those house calls yknow?

#thank you for the ask!

week 3 practical piece

WRITE: Continue to research your project. Select your final example and write up your contextual understanding of this, making connections to the definition you drafted last week and continuing to use course resources and your own further reading to help develop depth and nuance in your discussion (use the Massey library databases). Make sure you cite your sources as you go.

LIST, SKETCH, MAP or PLAN: Sketch, map, plan ideas for the practical component of your assignment.

there is so much stuff on matariki on stream it makes me very overwhelemd to be honest, because I know alot of it says the same stuff as well so that concerns/stresses me out about which to read and reference yknow. also i am so confused this breif is horrible and I hate that there is this thing that I am already supposed to have completed when the concensus is much different in class!!!! evil evil stream.

so i think i will just document on this workbook for now that I am learning and doing stuff, because right now I do not understand at all what I am supposed to be doing through stream - or it makes it sound like I should be much further along than I should be which does not make me feel very good.

some notes I took from the book!!!

also a website I found on some patterns and what they all mean - albeit a very simple one so maybe not what I will go with.

in refernce to how the maori work when it comes to a carving, i will most likely make a reduction woodcut "to reveal the essence of the form". my piece of wood is 300x300mm so I could make a 4 board reduction woodcut with the one major board, each being 7.5 cm squared

sam farquhar (Te Ati Awa, Ngati Rahiri)

Cliff Whiting

In Maori mythology, Uenuku is the god of rainbows, and is also a Maori ancestor who lived in Hawaiki.

I like the framing of this one, the only thing is I don't like working with people/faces in my work, I could do a hand or something?? I think I will look further into the hands and the rope thing

I got this book out from the library about matariki, it goes into mahi whai and the significance of the string games as a way to tell stories. the shape of the strings for example can be used to shoe matariki

Thank you! I kinda just. Realized i pay for all my own stuff & have for years so whats stopping me y'know. Oh we love to hear about the fall of far right leadership i hope that turns out well & you can get your eventual hrt as well. Oh yeah i never wear swimsuits to the beach typically. Always been with people i dont like or too many strangers for my liking. But i like to find seashells & stuff. Oh? English is such a weird language having a partner to learn from who's fluent is like. Required almost. So im glad you had one. I appreciate when people are chill as long as you try its nice & leaves room for mistakes that'll happen inevitably. Got confused for a moment & the concept of having a birthname you dont have listed in your bio lost me like. What do ya mean you had any different name what. Both mine are easy so i dont have that as a first name problem. Where is tromso? I wish you luck in that fall/winter trips are so nice. I especially love to go camping in them because less people so more space. Oh she just gets all the counters wow. Gonna have to focus on her a bit for sure. I dont know if i have enough for guaranteed kafka but i will probably try. Just to see what happens. If nothing else i hope bronya or welt come home for you. Fontaine is one of the regions im most interested in so ill stick through for it but i might squeeze a break in towards natlan honestly. Chasm was. A pain anyways i do not blame you for skipping it honestly. Thats an average day in warsaw? Wild. Ohhh that sounds like it was a blast please pass belated birthday wishes to avery for me. Hair dye is such a fun thing to do congrats on the red! I wanna dye mine again soon. Eyeliner is a thing i wanna teach myself to do too ive just been. Forgetting a lot

yeah thats very understandable!!! and thank you!! after a long time i finally feel at least a little hopeful ab this countrys future but well see. yeah i have the exact same thing but at the same time drying a lot of clothes is Annoying [esp on camps since thats the main place i actually go into the water on] so i often just put regular clothes over a swimsuit. win-win situation. seashells ARE fun to find but i always forget to bring sth to carry them sjdjflksjf plus its pretty hard to find actually nice ones, over here at least. YEAH god plus the way english is taught in polish schools does NOT help so honestly if i didnt have additional lessons i probably wouldnt have learned anything despite studying for a looooong time. and yeah its that way with almost anything isnt it. AH I DO THAT EXACT THING SO OFTEN i genuinely forget that people Have birthnames. or even names in general i just treat usernames as first names a lot of the time. tromso is the place in norway i was in!! pretty far up north but very charming. thank you!! ahhh i almost never go camping but perhaps One Day..... yeah clara has been my best friend ever since i got her. shes so fun to use. thankies and good luck to both of us!!! already got 106 pulls ready + the 9 more from the login event + 20 days left to grind so while i defo wont get enough for guarantee i think it might be possible for me to get her. honestly the region im most excited for is snezhnaya and thats gonna be the last one released iirc so. still a while until that happens. but at least when/if i come back im gonna have a lot of stuff to check out so thats fun. i unfortunately suffer from having to see everything thats new Immediately so i often speedrun new versions in 3 days and them im like....... What Now........ until the next update and then the cycle repeats. ah i should play more games that arent released this way. but yeah while the chasm was quite pretty imo and the story was. well. it wasnt STUNNING but it was fun. but the exploration aspect SUCKED good lord i hated how i could never quite tell if im in the region displayed on the map or below it. agh. glad thats over. and well yknow how it is with big cities, at least i live in a fairly peaceful part so we dont really have big stuff like that often. i will!! and thanks!! i agree hair dye IS very fun but unfortunately my hair texture makes it really hard for dye to stick so it washes off quickly :'] but alas. and yeah fair jdjfklg i have the same thing PLUS. its annoying i can never get it even

#actually speaking of updates. star rail 1.2 ahhhhhhhh........ fun #AND honkai 6.8 relatively soon #bringing the second great art book war with it #equally scared and excited #asks #pen pals

sleepover headcanons.

because i really miss my friends and my boyfriend 😭😭😭😭 characters included: jean, sasha, armin, levi, hange, mikasa, annie, and asot armin.

‧̥̥͙‧̥̥ ̥ ̮ ̥ ⊹　jean.　⊹ ̥ ̮ ̥ ‧̥̥‧̥̥͙

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ dinner together is incredibly fun, usually it's pizza or something. he doesn't usually eat it but you basically bully him (excessive begging and pleading) into ordering some food

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ sleepovers are typically hosted in the living room with the good tv

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ mans got a good house sorry bout it

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ he also got matching themed pajamas WHY IS THIS SO FUNNY TO ME

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ but the moment you're in the house, it is pj time. no matter what. 3 in the afternoon? sleepover is starting now. get in your fuzzy jammies or istg

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ favorite activity is to boot up some really bad b-horror movies, make a big batch of good popcorn, and yell and throw popcorn at the screen when people make stupid decisions

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ you both end up cheering for the villain at the end. Who else are you gonna root for, the dumbasses on screen?

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ your ribs hurt by the end of the second movie and you have to take a break

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ so either it's trying and failing to cook or it's 2:40 am Taco Bell

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ usually in that order

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ and somehow it tastes like literal heaven and you spend 10 minutes in silence eating and staring at the city scape from a bridge

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ when you finally head back home, it's way more chill than before, and you usually fall asleep within, like, 20 minutes.

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ the house is a Mess when you both wake up

"ah fuck." "so, jean, i'm gonna head out-" "like hell you are!"

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ turn on some music and make it a competition. kick his ass in cleaning and he has to pay for your dinners for two days, and vice versa

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ you never cheat at that. but he does.

‧̥̥͙‧̥̥ ̥ ̮ ̥ ⊹　sasha.　⊹ ̥ ̮ ̥ ‧̥̥‧̥̥͙

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ fashionably late arrivals.

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ texts 'omw! :D' when she isn't even dressed

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ yeah no not fashionably late but just like... regular late

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ "guys guys guys! you'll never believe it!" as she has found your favorite snacks. or ordered them online because she couldn't find them anywhere else

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ you guys stay up playing games

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ flipping the table playing monopoly, losing candy playing blackjack, ruining friendships with uno

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ and usually people don't actually spend the night, leaving at like 1 am, but you end up passed out on the couch with your girlfriend, both sprawled not only on the couch but on each other

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ it is the deepest, most rejuvenating sleep ever

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ yknow how you feel when you're drenched in rain and change into your favorite hoodie and nothing else, and crawl under the blankets, and you're so warm and cozy that you immediately either fall asleep or basically purr?

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ yeah, that's how it feels to fall asleep with her after all these energy-draining fun shit with friends

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ and you usually wake up at.... 2 pm?

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ ive done that before. on a school day. such fun.

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ but when you do wake up you both just wanna stay there. still exhausted but in a good way.

"what do you wanna do for breakfast, honeybun?" "hhhhmmm... say it at the same time?" "order out!" "this is why i love you."

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ and you eat as fast as possible so that some of us can show up to our work shifts without seeming deadass hungover

‧̥̥͙‧̥̥ ̥ ̮ ̥ ⊹　armin.　⊹ ̥ ̮ ̥ ‧̥̥‧̥̥͙

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ starts with greets, ofc, very bubbly moments. drinks are served and snacks, a little bit of catch-up time, yknow

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ when y'all get older its typically wine or other alcohol you drink, maybe cocktails, or non-alcoholic mocktails

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ after that, though, it's game on.

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ multiplayer strategy games are super damn fun. armin tries to actually play properly, you play properly but also throw people off of the human fall flat map and keel over for twenty minutes, eren will also throw people off the map when they're just about to win, and mikasa will try to play properly and help everyone only to be thrown off the map

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ eventually someone has to go home and so eren, mikasa, and whoever else is there leaves

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ without fail, every time, armin is like "you can go too, seashell, it's alright"

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ "like hell i will. i'm having too much fun to go home!"

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ play rock paper scissors for movie-choosing privileges

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ armin won't admit it but sometimes he purposely loses because he loves watching the movies you're most passionate about

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ let's be real, mans has fucking memorized your rock paper scissors patterns

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ you get some good snacks, or a meal depending on the time and hunger level, and snuggle up together under a blanket

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ sometimes you've watched the movies so much you just talk the entire time, about random things or about the movie, criticizing the actors' choices and joking that you could do better

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ neither of you could do better. that's not a read that's just projecting

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ but sometimes you cry together at the endings to heartwarming or sad movies

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ and armin will become incredibly cheesy and affectionate during romance movies, just loves seeing you flustered oml i love this man so fucking much

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ you don't even know how you fall asleep, but you do, still leaning against him

‧̥̥͙‧̥̥ ̥ ̮ ̥ ⊹　levi.　⊹ ̥ ̮ ̥ ‧̥̥‧̥̥͙

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ basically just an extended hang-out sesh

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ coffee at 8 pm because you wanna spend as much time together as possible

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ extensive talks at the table about random things.

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ sometimes about the job climate recently, sometimes about how bad/good the coffee is, maybe about where you wanna go for coffee next, how levi is better than all the cafes, how poor levi's sarcasm is, somehow the conversation gets switched to the recent science discoveries and the fermi paradox and the great filter theory

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ and after those very enlightening conversations, and after having a light dinner or snack, you pull out the latest in terrible literature

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ neither you nor levi are big on the tv-show scene, only catching some shows and none of them are usually on by the time you stop talking

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ "how about we split open a bottle of vodka and read this book aloud until we're intoxicated by the bad writing and the 80-proof alcohol"

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ and levi always agrees because it's just too funny to pass up

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ put on some glorious orchestral tracks and lose your minds at the juxtaposition

"this is- this is fucking incredible. every feasible change that any editor would make involves fire! there is nothing redeemable about this trash book!" "did you know it was written by tyra banks" "WHAT"

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ after thoroughly destroying your insides by laughing so hard, you put the book away in the fireplace and cuddle in front of said fire

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ sometimes you fall asleep here despite the coffee and alcohol. it's just the best feeling to cuddle this cold but sweet man especially when he cuddles you back

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ but usually you don't fall asleep, and you silently enjoy each other's company. you already talked a lot, and the silence is comfortable

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ you hold him close and he holds your hand, strokes your hair

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ sometimes you ask existential questions, like what happens after death, what the purpose of things are if humanity will go extinct anyway, if the big bounce theory is real and what if it isn't

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ and occasionally he asks those questions

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ you have a pretty informed and casual conversation, and usually fall asleep to each other's voices. the fire had long died, and it is comfortably warm.

‧̥̥͙‧̥̥ ̥ ̮ ̥ ⊹　hange.　⊹ ̥ ̮ ̥ ‧̥̥‧̥̥͙

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ deadass, throws THE best slumber parties.

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ fully just- endless activities planned. video games, board games, poker, sometimes you end up doing a half-assed job at cooking, or going out and sitting on the roof of a car garage to look at city lights while eating a pizza with your friends

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ too much to do, no one ever sleeps. except levi. just passes out randomly and you guys pull a 'weekend at bernie's'

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ okay not really, but anyway

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ the activities are so spontaneous. sometimes someone plays music and hange pulls you in to dance

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ and once you guys start dancing it just starts everyone dancing

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ it feels so cool when you dance to 'lay all your love on me' but like specifically this version (its a bop oml)

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ once again except levi. but eventually you two (force) him to dance too, and even though hange's hands are only on you, y'all dance together

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ after the excitement dies down and everyone is tired, hange will pull up some true crime docs or something

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ lets be real, they love that shit

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ but you do too so no dice

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ honestly you can both fall asleep to those documentaries like babies to lullabies

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ sometimes you do stay up to discuss some of the things that happen in the documentary or your own theories. and when you occasionally get nightmares or paranoia, hange is right there to comfort you

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ usually with sleep butterfly kisses and quiet words of 'you're safe, i will always protect you, peanut'

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ and you not only feel comforted but also loved

why do all the people i simp for (minus robin) frickin--- anime characters 😭

‧̥̥͙‧̥̥ ̥ ̮ ̥ ⊹　mikasa.　⊹ ̥ ̮ ̥ ‧̥̥‧̥̥͙

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ plays abba all night and you both cry to 'slipping through my fingers'

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ but otherwise you're dancing. sometimes you play tokyo city pop and it is exhilirating and exhausting but so worth it

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ you end up laughing together, both out of breath from dancing like no one was watching

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ "hungry?" "hell yeah, let's get some food"

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ once again, like with jean, it's either failing to cook or hopping in the car and looking for late-night cravings

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ the longer you stay up, the more delirious and melancholy you both get. so conversations that were once sweet and wholesome turn into 'wanna talk about the infinite universe around us and how miniscule our lives really are'

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ somehow it makes you closer

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ maybe it's just because you're cuddling to reassure yourselves everything is okay

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ and it is, for a while

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ but you or her crack a ridiculous joke

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ and it's all smiles and laughs for five minutes

"mika i love you so much" "i could say the same, but it doesn't capture how much i actually adore you, sweetheart"

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ and she gets really cuddly when she's tired so you're in heaven

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ you wake up to her making a quick breakfast so she can eat with you in bed. the only time. food is allowed in bed. ya heard???

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ and you talk about what happened last night, what came up before bed, what you wanna do today, and you excessively thanking the increasingly-flustered mikasa, who always is just like 'it's fine, sweetheart'

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ but you're always insistent on paying her back, be that with cuddles and kisses or anything else

‧̥̥͙‧̥̥ ̥ ̮ ̥ ⊹　annie.　⊹ ̥ ̮ ̥ ‧̥̥‧̥̥͙

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ very affectionate during hellos even though annie saw you literally three hours ago. lots of hello kisses and a big ol' leonhardt bear hug guaranteed

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ you change into your pj uniform while annie prepares something to eat

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ the amount of confidence miss ma'am gains when you're alone at a sleepover is criminal. i hc that, behind closed doors, annie is very flirty, but why is it stronger during sleepovers

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ you accidentally play a song and she's like "wait that's awesome"

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ and you end up recommending more songs and making playlists for like the next hour and a half

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ joking and laughing and being completely surprised when a bad-looking song is actually a fucking bop

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ and sometimes you groove together and collapse on the bed together

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ "okay okay okay, that's- that's enough music. how aboutt..."

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ you give her The Look

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ and next thing you know, you're building a pillow fort. after convincing her for many minutes to join you, stealing the fairy lights to really make it grand

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ every time she's like "okay. this is kind of cool."

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ and you turn out the lights, boot up some good horror movies, and watch with only each other for comfort

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ annie never gets scared. which is complete bullshit because you always get at least creeped out and at worst, seriously scared

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ always, always, she cradles you like "aww baby you scared? it's okayy" and purposely honeys your voice

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ you pout the entire time. but it does feel nice so you don't pull away, however you do make it known that you are very sour

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ when you start yawning, she changes the movie genre so you don't get nightmares, and when you're like "hey why" she completely denies why she's doing it

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ and then admits two minutes later because your gaze

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ honestly you're like a teddy bear, she just falls asleep when she cuddles you laying down dont @ me

‧̥̥͙‧̥̥ ̥ ̮ ̥ ⊹　asot armin.　⊹ ̥ ̮ ̥ ‧̥̥‧̥̥͙

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ show up at his crib and lemme tell you it is a salem haven

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ dude i long to have the level of almost-creepy, gorgeous decor this man does. bookshelves filled with old, beautiful books

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ usually no one gets to see his home but you are his poppet, so you have the privilege

��｡⋆༶⋆ it smells surprisingly wonderful, and he has many activities planned. starting with reading, then giving you a few lessons regarding your poor sewing skills, tending to the herb garden and checking the assorted herbal essences and salves

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ and after all that is done, and harvesting some proper midnight herbs and such has been complete, you cook together. be it quick breads or desserts or something, it's sort of a ritual in and of itself, honestly

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ you both do it together, every part of making it, and you talk and joke excessively

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ and, in typical armin fashion, he will have plenty of innuendos and dirty jokes at disposal

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ mr whiskers may make a few (not-so-) subtle appearances

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ you sit together and eat. sometimes you sit upside down for the fun of it and he joins you because it's fun and neither of you know why

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ now eating upside down is a different story

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ after all this is out of the way, it's time to hang. boot up some action shows like alice in borderland, play some games like devotion and resident evil, and cue the even more excessive dirty jokes that i love this man so much for

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ by the time you finish baking it's already like 3 am but these affairs are always all-nighter events so its whatever

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ and sometimes other things happen, sometimes you play games until the sun comes up

⋆｡⋆༶⋆ and then sleep the day away. because neither you nor armin can make it through the day without like passing out, so you might as well pass out while cuddling

I know I make pirate Deku out to be this salacious, cruel, horny bastard.. and he is- but.. he has this sweet side to him, you know?

One he’s learned to hide.

You dont survive in his world by being ‘sweet.’

He shows it through merciful acts, sure, but only you really get to see his soft side.

He keeps it closed off for a while, acting like any other sex-craved, lonely sea man. At first, to him, you were just another dame he could graciously use to potentially get his dick wet - you never did allow it, not at first.

Your rejection somehow leads to a small friendship, the wall around his heart weakening with every innocent interaction.

Once you finally crack it?

My god, you swore you were never letting go.

He saves his softest voice, gentlest touches, sweetest kisses and purest love just for you. Only you.

Pirates are known for being unnloyal bastards, but thats never been in his nature. He’d rather take a sword to his stomach than to cause you any sort of emotional pain by batting his eyes at another.

He loves you. He’s devoted to you.

Youve somehow gotten him, one of the most infamous pirate next to Black Beard, wrapped around your finger.

If you told him to walk the plank, hell he’d do it. (Of course you’d never tell him that, but he would do it if asked!!)

This is Deku, after all. It doesnt matter what position he has, he’d drop it all for you.

But.. he’s quite possessive of you. In his mind, he has to be - considering the people he lives with.

He wouldnt ever let them lay a finger on you, but thats not to say you cant be friends with them.

Pirates are just.. yknow.. untrustworthy.

He doesn’t even know how he got you to trust him..

You could easily relax him with a kiss, though. Or multiple kisses. He loves your kisses.

Out in front of others, he’s mean and rough, calculative and a drunkard, but behind closed doors? He’s the sweetest man you’ve ever met.

He’d always listen to you talk, giving you his undivided attention whenever and wherever. He loved to hear your voice.

He was a gentleman to you, helping you jump off the ship or hold open a door for you, getting you food or a drink if you couldn’t get it yourself due to activities the night before.

He’d pay such close attention to you that if something was even slightly wrong, he’d pull you to the side, squat down, caress your cheeks with his hands that nearly covered your whole face, and ask what was wrong with such concern in his voice and in his eyes that it’d always make you feel so loved. Izuku cares so much for you.

He’s an insomniac, too.. its often he’d stay up and mumble to himself while scanning maps, plotting courses, and scribbling in one of his many journals.

When he lays in bed with you, he pulls you flushed against his bare, warm chest, chin resting upon the top of your head.

Sometimes he’d hum to help you sleep, his voice gravely yet sweet like honey whenever he used it for such a purpose. He’d kiss your forehead once he noticed you were asleep, whispering that he loves you against your skin. Sometimes he’d just admire you until he finally managed drift off.

He likes to feel you close to him.. needs to.

In a world where he has to constantly fight to stay alive and live how he wants, you’re his look into a tame life without actually living one. You’re his anchor in open sea.

Just what he needs, you’re the perfect balancing piece.

Never has a man been so in love with someone like Izuku is in love with you.

And he lets you know it every day.. whispers of love and the sweetest kisses..

He’s a completely different person around you...

He likes the person you help him to be.

And if you ever happen to get caught up in a bit of trouble? He’s right by your side and defending you and your honor with his life.

You’ve seen him win multiple sword fights for you, they were all so easily won.

He always got so worked up.. how could you not reward him after?

He’s so sweet, truly, your cute little freckled man.. but as you know.. sweet men aren’t always so sweet when they have you beneath them.

ok ok I'm insane and couldn't pick one so have two (no need to answer both if you don't want to)

“You talk to him.” Not kindly, but he does.

“I’m used to him,” he shoots back. “I’m the only person who is.”

That makes Niki feel something, some uncomfortable tug in her chest. She mentally kicks herself. It’s not jealousy, she reminds herself, because despite the near-cliff jumping and the long nights without food and the nuclear fallout that has punctuated her last few months, being jealous of Tommy would be the least reasonable thing she’s allowed herself to be, maybe ever.

“You don’t believe me,” Tommy says flatly. “You never - eugh.” He cuts himself off with another ragged sigh, running a hand down his face. “Look, Niki, it’s - we were all together in Pogtopia, right? But I was there first. With him. And you didn’t see the start of it, it was horrible, and I’m glad no one else saw the beginning of it either but it was still just so shit and he kept saying all these terrible things about Tubbo and Fundy and you and,” he takes a shaky breath, “then, when I died, I saw him.”

Her breath catches in her throat.

Well, the voice in the back of her head whistles. If you were still wondering about all this afterlife bullshit, if you want to know where you’re going after your third life, here you go.

and

“You didn’t even - this isn’t about L’Manberg, Wilbur!” Niki shouts.

And then he stops, breathing hard, and he looks at Niki the same way he does whenever her voice is being drowned out in a crowd - the way he does when he wants to hear her, when he wants to know what she has to say.

“What else is there?” he asks.

Niki freezes. Stock still, unable to move, unable to breathe, ice threading its way through her gut, her chest, her shoulders, chilled down to the bone. With slow-dawning horror, she can feel hot tears welling up behind her eyes, sitting in her throat, threatening to spill over into a sob. She swallows - to keep her cool, to stay calm, to keep it together -

And then, something in her chest just snaps.

“You said you’d come back for me!” she cries, and her voice hitches on the lump of tears at the back of her throat and god, she sounds absolutely pathetic. Wilbur’s face softens immediately, which somehow just makes her feel even worse. “In Manberg. When Schlatt put me in prison, and you and Tommy were in Pogtopia, you said you’d break me out when it was safe. I waited for weeks , Wilbur. It was… it was horrible.”

“Niki…” a kaleidoscope of emotions flicker across his face, and he seems unsure which to settle on. “We got you out though, right? After the festival.”

“You looked for the button first,” she says quietly, and he stills.

Her sniffling sounds embarrassingly loud against the quiet background of night.

thank you sm!!! i’m gonna put these under the cut because they got a little long sorry (tw for discussion of suicidal ideation)

to preface: tommy is kind of the accidental but incredibly necessary invisible support beam for niki and wilbur’s making amends in bitter. niki cannot accept wilbur’s actions and apology without first acknowledging her own actions and making steps towards an apology, because otherwise it kind of falls flat? in that ending scene niki finally gets what wilbur is feeling and wilbur finally gets that someone else knows how he feels (it’s not perfect 100% yet, but…. that’ll get explored later)

onto the actual snippet! “tommy talks to wilbur - not kindly, but he does” was very important to me! tommy has stuck by wilbur ever since pogtopia, but the tragedy is that he is not equipped to deal with wilbur’s issues, and it shows. wilbur’s first stream after revival depicts this really clearly, where tommy tails wilbur around the whole time but insults him, is still stuck on calling him the villain, physically fights him at some point, etc. on one hand this isn’t healthy but on the other hand tommy is actually around, which is more than can be said for basically any other ally wilbur has had on the dsmp, maybe excluding his dad, who literally killed him lmfao.

this whole issue is exacerbated by the fact that tommy believes that he is the only person who properly understands wilbur, the only person who gets what happened to him, and feels like wilbur is generally his burden to bear. he failed to stop wilbur from both 1. hurting other people and 2. killing himself after the pogtopia-manberg war - and he doesn’t trust wilbur not to do either of those things again, so he’s stuck hovering around wilbur while wilbur is inadvertently setting off his own trauma and feeling responsible for any way he might fuck up and hating that but not wanting to leave. tommy’s memory isn’t perfect and he isn’t a perfect narrator, what he remembers from pogtopia the most were the scariest parts and that’s understandable but it means he’s holding wilbur to the worst expectations of behaviour (and he does so very vocally). the others showed up later, sure, but in tommy’s eyes he’s the only one who saw wilbur’s descent, and by the time they showed up wilbur had already changed irreversably. tommy tries to rationalise this by splitting the ‘different wilburs’ apart from each other in his head (he does this in canon too - there’s one quote from like late 2020 where he says he and tubbo need to keep on going for who wilbur used to be, not who he became, even though they’re,, the same person), and no one challenges that perspective, so he just keeps doing it even though it’s not healthy for him or wilbur.

and then limbo happened and, oh geez, THAT didn’t help jhfaskjjfsa

tommy is on a bit of a knife edge with niki in this fic. niki’s in this state of “ok, he’s annoying whatever, i’m moving on”, but all tommy knows is that she tried to kill him that one time, disappeared off the face of the map, joined a book club with two people who definitely do not like him, and now is just acting weirdly mellow and polite. she is not someone he wants near wilbur bc what the fuck is she gonna do? what is he gonna do? who knows. he’s frustrated that niki doesn’t seem to acknowledge how he’s feeling (especially bc once upon a time she would have been someone he trusted to acknowledge them - they were friends, they fought together) and he’s taking a big step by telling someone about his concerns here, especially bc tommy doesn’t really like talking about them at all. he wouldn’t be saying absolutely anything to niki if he didn’t truly believe she should stay away from wilbur, even if he’s wrong about him. (sometimes i think i write tommy as a little too emotionally mature here but it all goes out the window when wilbur’s brought up. idk if that balances it out)

ok onto niki: this is the first she has actually heard of limbo! she’s only just come around to the fact that resurrection is possible at all. death is kind of a touchy subject for niki both in general and re: wilbur in the fic - she’s coming off of a period in her life where suicidal ideation was, uh, a big thing (whether you want to read that into canon or not is subjective, that’s just the angle i went with in this fic). the sudden existence of a life after death, miserable as it is - and whether she really believes in such a place, when it only exists in tommy and wilbur’s words - that is a lot of information for her to absorb all at once. death is a weird connection point for tommy and niki here, coming right off of the fact that they’ve just acknowledged each other having those problems - tommy, out of, yknow, altruism, would very much like to keep niki out of that place, and niki is quietly reckoning with the fact that that is where she would have sent him. the concept of limbo from the perspective of a character with no experience of it, even secondhand, is so interesting to me like what kind of eldritch location would you feel like you’re living in asghjkl

(also - i gotta be honest the jealousy angle here but mostly when she’s talking later about dream not deserving wilbur’s companionship kinda came out after this post came across my dash while writing. whoops /j)

fun fact, this is the very first snippet of bitter that i ever wrote! all the way back in may!! this is like the moment of the fic - it's where the miscommunication that niki and wilbur have been having is shattered entirely - and so sticking the landing was uhhh kinda important to me lol.

wilbur's entire being in this fic is basically consumed by L'Manberg - he equates his self worth to it entirely. in his eyes, everyone (rightfully) hates him because of what he did to L'Manberg, because L'Manberg was corrupted and he himself with it, etc. niki tries to tell herself this, and while it definitely does form part of her issues with him, it was the betrayal that causes her this much pain - that he seemingly brushed her and their friendship off entirely when he supposedly left her for dead in manberg. because here is what we as the audience know: wilbur couldn’t leave niki in trouble when he heard her life was in danger, even when he was trying to find the button (pretty much the only thing he sees himself as having left at this point) and so he returned. here is what it looks like from niki’s perspective: wilbur told her to wait in manberg until it was safe to come to pogtopia, laid the place with TNT, went to blow up the place, and only returned when he couldn’t find the detonator (and then the first thing she saw him do in pogtopia was encourage the pit behaviour but that’s not what we’re talking about asdfgh). that is massive miscommunication and it’s been brewing between them for months - to make a quirky little reference to the title, niki has been carrying that anger with her so long it's gone bitter. it was never just about l’manberg with niki - not that anger, not her and wilbur’s friendship (hence the little flashback earlier in the fic, bc niki’s relationship to anarchism and statehood or statelessness juxtaposed with her friendships with wilbur and eret - she loves l’manberg bc she loves wilbur, but she loves eret too and those national ties don’t undermine that - is Real Interesting to me) - so when wilbur asks what else there could possibly be (because in his mind, what else could she have bothered staying around for?), she just fucking breaks.

“Niki freezes. Stock still, unable to move, unable to breathe, ice threading its way through her gut...with slow-dawning horror, she can feel hot tears welling up behind her eyes” - prose discussion time! heat and cold are two big throughlines in this fic - particularly for niki, cold is what she is. admittedly when i started with it i mostly wanted to subvert hot = angry and cold = dead but i kinda ended up enjoying this take on it for what it is instead of just as a subversion (also i like the idea of revived people running hot, their bodies r working hard to keep em going). she’s holding onto her feelings and refusing to deal with them, she’s frozen over. descriptions of cold are key to niki’s mental state throughout the fic - cold weight on her chest, feelings of frostbite when she and wilbur hug the first time, ice cold water during the dinner scene, waking up in the cold flat, etc. this was an attempt at describing a more visceral feeling of like, when you’re really mad and you can just feel the adrenaline running through your veins. always felt more cold than hot to me. when she starts to cry, the facade she’s been putting on is finally thawing out and cracking the ice she’s buried her feelings under. (also gives an excuse to write warm comforting hugs towards the end /hj). it’s a loss, it’s catharsis, it’s a whole mess.

and ofc this is all news to wilbur and he feels terrible, because as unintentional as it was, he really really hurt her - because the destruction of l’manberg fucking sucked but above all else wilbur hurt the people he loved because they loved him so much and not in spite of it, because they cared about him so deeply and his death was a massive blow to them. this hasn’t even dawned on him, because how could it? he respects deeply niki (lowkey respects her opinion more than his own at this point) so he has to listen, because it’s niki (“and he looks at Niki the same way he does whenever her voice is being drowned out in a crowd - the way he does when he wants to hear her, when he wants to know what she has to say” - because he does), and what she says fucking floors him. in his eyes, he failed her by putting her in danger and then by destroying her home - the idea that she valued him and their friendship so much flies entirely over his head until this moment, and he is forced to re-evaluate the mindset that has motivated him since… basically since pogtopia! the way i write wilbur is like… yes, he’s one of niki’s closest friends and he’s more aware of her insecurities and issues than most (which is why he does always take the time to listen to her, etc) but he does over-idealise her a bit. tbf, i think he does to some extent with everyone (calling tubbo strong on the anniversary stream, for example). also the fact that he really wasn’t around for niki’s lowest moments as a character! he still thinks of her the way she was in l’manberg - confident, steadfast, respected - and this moment shatters that for him as he realises exactly what effect he and his death had on her and everyone else, not just by his actions, but because they loved him and cared for him so deeply.

sorry that this got horrifically long!! and thank you so much for sending snippets in <3333

Avengers Infinity War-First Time Watching Reaction Play-by-Play (Pt. 2)

Part 1

I wonder how many people Gamora has killed? What made her finally snap to not serve Thanos anymore?

How DID Gamora find it? Like, who told her?

How did Thanos capture nebula?

Poor nebula. She’s literally been through hell and back.

Ohhhh she snuck on board...

Thanos you suck so much. You favor one daughter over another.

Oh. Where was said map to the soul stone?

Gosh I feel so damn bad for nebula. She was raised as his daughter too but he tortured her and tore her apart. Nebula never had the chance to be her equal. She deserves so much.

Taught groot as an elective? What about all speak?

Buckle up rocket. It’s gonna get emotional.

Thor is literally all alone. He needs a time to sit alone and cry and break a whole building.

Rocket and Thor friends? Please

1500 years old? Jane, honey, you escaped.

Gotta give it up to Hemsworth’s acting chops here. Especially talking to nobody in reality. Just a bunch of cgi

Ew ew ew eye socket

Should have washed that yikes

Snuck it out by hiding it up your? Huh? You watch too many movies rocket.

Huge title card. Thank you. I wouldn’t have known where we were despite them saying their location many times.

How is that video game battery not dead?

Perceptive rabbit

I LOVE that they used a dwarf to play a giant character!!! This is brilliant! (And that dwarves are giant for some reason lol.)

Soooo again Thanos killed everyone EXCEPT Eitri despite his “morality” supposedly being balance

Poor hands

Poor nebula

Smart nebula

Maybe should have waited to be fixed fully first

Ah crap. SOMEONE PICK UP THE SPACE PHONE

MANTIS

Love how Stark asks for peters help in steering and not Stephen lmao

Nice parking job

Peter, stop popping pop culture refs

Lmao ITS ABOUT TO BE THE ICONIC SCENE

YES PLEASE

Blanket of Death. Capey has a new nickname.

Where’s Gamora

Who’s Gamora

Why is Gamora

What master do you serve?

Jesus?

I mean, yea I do. So does Pratt lmaoo.

LMAO PARKER’S FACE WHEN QUILL SAID THOR WASNT HANDSOME

Storm breaker time baby

“In theory it could summon the bifrost” who theorized this? How do you only theorize and not know?

Oh my gosh mantis is just bouncing around

Mr. Clean lmao

Kick names, take ass

Hey now, these guys saved the galaxy and universe from Ego so lmao

Oh no I know the scene coming up

Poor quill lmao

“I’m half human. So the 50% of me that’s stupid, that’s 100% of you.” “Your math is, blowing my mind.” What’s funny is that Quill’s math was actually completely accurate lol

Stephen having a stroke or a seizure? You good homie?

Soooo if Strange looked to the future and so possible outcomes, what does that mean for the TVA? According to them, there’s ONE sacred timeline, so all other branches are erased (which again messes up what smart hulk eventually says in end game. See kids, this is why you don’t mess with time travel in stories. There’s no way to go back in time without creating a time loop). Ehhhhh I’ll let it slide. Just ignore it... sigh... I can’t help it if I’ve studied paradoxes

Hmmmm not good odds I’ve gotta say...

Watch like, outside of the millions of realities that strange saw, there were like a million or billion more he missed where they won with no casualties lol

Hey Red Skull. Long time no see. How did he get here anyways and why?

Yea you’re prepared all right...

Gotta say, Lord Elrond has seen better days

I’m not ready to say good bye to this Gamora. Gamora and Loki and Nat go down as my favorite characters, gotta say. I know that Tony does and it’s sad, but his feels more satisfying because his sacrifice directly results in them winning. Loki is murdered. Gamora is murdered. Nat died just for a stepping stone for the avengers. She has no idea whether or not they will actually win in the end.

I’m hopeful they may bring Nat back like in the comics, red room clone style.

We got back vision, Loki (kinda), variant Gamora, a new captain America, why not Nat? Yea we have a prequel, but gosh I love her so much.

“You must lose that which you love.” Couldn’t that apply to like an object or something? Could I not throw my Nintendo switch over the cliff? Or my dog? (I would hate that just as much as a person, don’t get me wrong, I’m just curious about the rules)

Yea boohoo sad for Thanos... loses his favorite daughter. I don’t care about him. He deserves suffering.

Poor Gamora doesn’t think he’s willing to do it.. GIRL RUN!!!

Thanos deserves all the suffering.

He does love you Gamora... but that love... it’s selfish. It’s blind... Thanos seems to be a chaotic vigilante who is narrowminded, tunnel vision on his goal with no regards of the cost. But he is evil. If there is ever an alternate route to an end that doesn’t result in the loss of innocent lives, and you know that but you willingly choose the once that costs innocent lives, that is an evil decision. Maybe Thanos isn’t evil, but he’s not good. Far from it. He’s obsessed with this idyllic Utopia but he rushes to one method of getting there. Yes, people suffer. It sucks... it’s unfair... it’s horrible. But it is never the right of someone else to dictate whether or not said person would be better off dead. Who lives, who dies. If Thanos truly was neutral and not selfish, he would have thrown his own life into the mix of the potential 50/50 snap. Thanos is not good. He’s not misunderstood. He’s a murderer. A genocidal cult leader. I have no tears for him. Only for those who suffered more at his hands.

Rant over, time to try not to cry about Gamora...

Her face of realization

Gamora run please

Thanos, I hate you. (Great character her, but not a good person)

Poor Gamora

Oh my gosh the emotion here is great but I’ve heard this sound used as a meme on TikTok too many times aghhhh

Gamora!

What a way to die

I’m crying again. I miss her already...

Who the hell designed this place and put the stone here???? Who did this?

Cry Thanos. Suffer. My only comfort here is that you are sad. You deserve suffering. You really do...

The TVA is laughing here and I’m not okay..

Poor Peter Quill... he’s also lost a lot like Thor, but has had the “luck” of not knowing his family too close.

Wakanda babyyyy

No, you don’t want Starbucks, you want Dutch bros

Lmao I love rhodey. Poor Bruce.

BUCKY BUCKY BUCKY

HUG

NO CMON HAVE A LONG HUG

MALE FRIENDSHIPS ARE SO IMPORTANT.

Yea Shuri show em up.

Okay quick pause, I love love LOVE how Shuri is smarter. It’s a powerful moment for females BUT it’s not done in a way that’s condescending to males! It’s not saying women power because men bad, she’s just good! (And she has had access to technology they never could have but I digress). More of this please Hollywood. Don’t let being a female be the power. I don’t want strong female characters, I want strong characters who happen to be female. Ones who hold their own, have faults like anyone else, struggle, have weaknesses and strengths, but are strong without putting down others. Just a comment, just because a woman character may not be as strong as a man character, that is not saying she’s weak. If you’re the second strongest human in the world, you are NOT weak. You’re just not as strong as the strongest human ever, but that’s nothing against you. LET WOMEN STAND ON THEIR OWN MERITS WITHOUT SEX AFFECTING THEM!

Anyways

I love Shuri

I wish they had more time. She definitely could have done it. But stupid Thanos

Ughhhghhg

I know what many scenes are upcoming... with quill and peter and vision and everyone else

Let👏🏻Bucky👏🏻Have👏🏻Peace👏🏻

Thank you Nat!!! I love that Nat is so protective and selfless.

GET THIS MAN A SHIELD

Bucky needs love please. He’s my stand in, manipulated, greasy, long haired, dark and mysterious, stabby boy. (Also I need Bucky and Loki to meet. But let Loki finish his show (and come out of it alive because if he doesn’t I will sue) and be the antihero hero we need. Please. If he doesn’t get reintroduced into the mcu as a hero I will sue.

Thor, sweetie, are you a masochist?

Back to wakanda

Oh no, bad CGI, floating head Bruce banner. I’ll let it slide... sigh....

Can’t like, you just rain bombs on them forever?

JIBARI TRIBE YEA BOYYYYY

Sorry Proxima Midnight, you look like a frog and your name sounds like a middle schooler’s OC.

How nice. Diplomatic meeting.

“Thanos will have nothing but dust and blood.” Reeeeeeally wish you didn’t say that, T’Challa...

Yay big CGI battle commence! It’s like a really expensive animated cartoon at this point

WAKANDA FOREVER!

Poor Bucky. Forgot this dude doesn’t know much about the modern world.

Ahhhh Kamikazi aliens

I just wanna say that I love that Wakanda still has the artistic culture in their clothing and tradition all the while having badass, super advanced technology.

Why can’t they just rain bombs down the whole fight lol. Rhodey has those super nice bombs, like, do that they he whole time? Please? Why do you not have a barrier around the entire king.

No M’Baku, it’s not the end of wakanda. But half of all life, yea

WAKANDA FOREVER YEAAAAAAA

They should honesty all have nano tech suits like black panther lol. Or iron man suits. Fine maybe the most powerful one with the best quality material for the king, but besides that, yknow.

Wow Steve is hot with a beard.

So much happening at once. Thor, Wakanda, Vormir, Knowhere, am I missing anything?

Okay, but what IS the full force of a star? Like in Newton’s or something? Juls? Is it heat?

What’s this metal? How does it fare with vibranium?

Get off your wooden butt, groot.

“He needs the axe” are you Thor, the god of axes?

Soooo, I thought Thor didn’t NEED the hammer, it just helped him concentrate his powers or act as a conduit. Is that retconned already?

Cmon groot, put down your game. Soooo, is Groot worthy? He technically lifted it. Or is it a technicality because it wasn’t fully finished yet?

Cmon bucky, use that fancy arm of yours.

Wow they’re getting destroyed.

They need wanda to help.

BADASS ENTRANCE BABYYYY

How did Thor know to come to wakanda?

Floaty head Bruce

“BRING ME THANOS!”

Ahhhhhahahaha yeaaaaaa

Cry Thanos. Do it. I hate you.

Much more of a purple grape nutsack.

Oh gosh... I know what Peter Quill is going to do. I still don’t hate him.

“With all six stone I would simply snap my fingers. They would all cease to exist.” Orrrr, now hear me out, I know I sound like a broken record now but... MAYBE DOUBLE THE RESOURCES INSTEAD?? That’s not mercy. That’s not up to you to decide whether or not someone’s better off dead.

Smoosh

Yea quill has experience with the power stone

AIM FOR THE HEAD

Cmon it’s basic zombie tactics

I love peter quill lmao

Go capey!!!

Magic with a kick!

Poor Peter

CAPEY NOOOOOO

Wow he’s OP

Ouch quill just got majorly clotheslined

NEBULA

“Where’s Gamora?” 😭😭😭 SHE CARES AGHHHH

Restrain him! Work it mantis!!!

Why even remove the gauntlet, just slit his throat... kill him....

Quill no... stop being cocky...

Oh no

Quill please don’t

JUST SLIT THANOS’ THROAT

Quill please....

Poor quill. Just lost the person who really really loved him

Okay, I still love star lord. Idc what others think. He reacted realistically. If you hate peter quill for how he reacted, you better also hate Tony Stark for how he reacted to bucky when he learned bucky killed his parents despite knowing for a fact that bucky was brainwashed. Yes it was annoying... yes they were so close, but quill is so human here. I don’t hate him. He gets too much hate for acting like any normal person would have. Distraught, grief filled, he lost his love. Someone who helped him open up and finally move on from his mother’s death and fathers villainy.

Spider man saving mantis gives me life

How did that power stone blast not kill them?

Clearly Thanos has played Majora’s Mask. At least he has good taste.

So close vision.... but I know... I know what happens.

YES BUCKY AND ROCKET GUN CIRCLE.

Lmao give rocket Bucky’s old arm.

“I am Groot.” “I am Steve Rogers.” Comedy gold

Cmon Thor, go after the big one first.

Cmon wanda, save them. We need some scarlet witch magic up here to stop these

Okay that was so cool. AND THEN SHE USED THE BLADES

Oh no but now Shuri is alone

So close yet so far.... Dangit... vision was almost good

Ouch. Bonk to the head

YEA BLACK WIDOW

BADASS TIME

AND OKOYE!!

LETS GOOOOOOO

BADASS WOMEN

Ouch poor vision

Cmon Thor back up vision

Please

Hulk is in his feels

Cmon hulk grow up

Ooooh smart move banner

Aaaaand he’s gone

Giant blade look oit

Corvus, screw off.

YEA STEVE

WHERE IS THOR WHEN YOU NEED HIM

CMON NAT

Oh dang. Nice one wanda. But also, sheesh. Helluva way to go. But no big.

Yea vision. Stabby time.

Now vision and Steve, kiss.

Spider man saving everyone’s lives.

YEA STRANGE

Where was this in New York???

MULTIPLYING

WHY DIDNT YOU DO THIS IN THE FIRST PLACE????

Oh no

Well then... ouch. Soooo where’s the real stone???

Hey look Tony, you have a fan.

Okay I’m just pissed odd they didn’t just kill Thanos when they had him subdued. Like, worry about the glove AFTER he’s not longer a threat

Oof

Tony is taking a beating

HE WAS STABBED

WHAT

I don’t want your respect Thanos. That’s an insult.

They will remember him. They will remember him Thanos. When he kills you.

DOCTOR STRANGE WHAT?

You really doing this??? I guess he knows what needs to unfold for them to win... dang. I wouldn’t trust him tho.

Peter Quill in berserker mode

Where’d he go?

Name dropping the second movie

Strange knows everything about to go down. Who dies, who lives, what Thanos is about to do... he’s accepting his soon dusted demise because Stark needs to live...

AIM FOR THE HEAD UGHHHHH

Stop teleporting. That’s Loki’s gimmick.

KILL THIS RAISIN LOOKING NUTSACK UGH

Homie way too OP

Poor wanda and Vis...

HER LIP TREMBLE

PHENOMENAL ACTING

SAY I LOVE YOU

I JUST FEEL YOU

AGGHHHH IM CRYING AGAIN

Poor wanda. To have to kill her love... this.. this is a sacrifice Thanos... not your murder....

Wow Steve is holding back Thanos with pure brute

WANDA IS SO STRONG

HOLDING BACK THANOS WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY BREAKING THE MIND STONE

I LOVE YOU

AGHHHHHHHHH

And I know what happens next...

Poor wanda

Piss off thanos you understand nothing

You lost more than she could know? Bull crap. You are causing everyone to lose...

Cruel reality. Wanda has to see him die twice. RIP Vision

RIP half of all life...

AIM FOR THE DAMN HEAD

IF THOR KILLED HIM THEY COULD HAVE USED THE GAUNTLET TO BRING EVERYONE BACK TO LIFE. USED THE TIME STONE TO REVIVE THEM ALL.

How did that not kill Thanos tho. It may not have been a head shot but still.

Lil Gamora

What is this place?

Is this the soul realm?

Thanos, I hope you suffer forever. You deserve all the pain...

Rest In Peace: Vision, Loki, Bucky, T’Challa, Groot, Wanda Maximoff, Sam Wilson, Mantis, Drax, Peter Quill, Dr. Strange, Peter Parker (I don’t feel so good), and everyone else...

Thank you Nebula.

Thanos, you do NOT deserve to retire peacefully—wipe that smile off of your face

Oop, Rest In Peace Maria Hill and Nick Fury too... Motherfu— (so close Sammy boy...)

Yea Thanos you didn’t really think that through. Much more than half will died since other people rely on other peoples lives

Good thing he hit that button last minute huh? I wonder how captain marvel would fare in the TVA? are her powers considered magic? I mean, she clearly doesn’t know everything since she only just learned about Thanos (which is funny because she was supposedly traversing the universe to protect people)

Welp... onto movie two!

Hi! Feel free to ignore this ❤ i just wanted to say that it's not that I get offended when people speculate about megan and re (and I cant speak for other anons? And tbh this is the first anon I've sent so 🤷‍♀️) but I figured I'd explain why I'm wary of the discussion. From day 1 because of tobin and christens popularity in the fandom, the whole focus was on them. Even when it was clear that megan was leading on something - the re set lives, black and white, or even when we all vote, it all came back to oh christen should be taking this, or I saw more screenshot of tobins comments on lives than I did posts about what happened on them (the one with Tarana Burke was genuinely incredible) and the same happens with kling as well, except she hasn't really done much frontfacing stuff.

I think that if you look at what we've seen of the founders and of megans social activity at the moment I wouldnt be concerned - that megan and kling hug warmed me to my core 🥰 but like. She doesn't even post her twin sisters stuff much anymore. Not even sues stuff. It just always seems like people want to push her out of it? Idk. Its just also that tobin and christen probs get the most positive fan response/neutral non fan response. One of the recent re posts just has a whole pile of hate towards megan in the comments, it may even be that thats playing into it? Why draw that on the company yknow.

Idk. As I said, please feel free to ignore this - I just thought I'd let you know what I see happening (and also defo don't feel like this is criticism! Everyone has their faves and everyone's protective over their faves, its perfectly legit to focus on tobin and christen over megan and kling - I just thought I'd give you that perspective! Also I love your blog ❤❤)

No, I totally get it! And I don’t think Pinoe is uninvolved. I think I questioned it for a short time because over the last summer she was super involved, and then seemed to fall into the background pretty rapidly after that. But they are just doing different stuff now, and what Pinoe was/is the best at out of all of them is brand innovation/promotional stuff. She really stepped up and drove those hard conversations last summer and helped put Re-Inc on the map for that type of work.

It’s super shitty she’s getting negative comments on the Re posts, I haven’t seen that. But yeah, I know she’s still involved and has a lot going on.

updated tma s/i storyline/backstory because all of my rusty quill inserts have an entire biography of background information apparently (this is a Big Fat post. under the cut for length and tma spoilers up until season 5)

-little american smartass moves overseas to go to college, makes two best friends (jon and georgie), together they co-run the gsa and top the honor roll (also, they become a professional third wheel)

-they move back home after college, and keep in touch with georgie and jon as best they can, with life and adult stuff getting in the way.

-fast forward a couple years and look out, england, they’re back for more! apparently, their two college bffs have both landed themselves paranormal-based careers while they were away, and they’re absolutely getting in on that.

-ze hangs out at the archives, annoying jon. ze befriends the assistants because who DOESN’T want to befriend the assistants. ze gets offered a job a couple times but ze doesn’t take it because getting paid for paranormal nonsense kinda sucks all the fun out of it. also, the boss creeps zir out a little.

-jane prentiss and the close encounter with the creepy crawly kind is what sparks the idea that ohhh, maybe there’s something Legitimately Weird going on here. and it pushes zir to give jon a statement.

-so maybe everything was not so totally normal the whole time they were in america. so maybe one of their friends bailed on a camping trip so they had to stay in a cabin with some guy they didn’t know and sneak out the window in the middle of the night when one of his “hunting trips” went a little fucked up. so maybe they ran over what was probably a werewolf with their car. (they’re actually pretty proud of that last bit. like, they not only survived but they HIT a WEREWOLF with their CAR. they’re totally the best horror protag.)

-they meet helen when she comes in to give jon her statement. they help her calm down and get some basic information out of her. there’s a little romantic tension there from the beginning (what if our hands brushed while you were drawing an impossible map filled with too many turns…hahaha jk…unless?)

-helen remembers that.

-they rekindle their friendship with georgie like they were never apart at all, though she’s not quite comfortable enough to share her fear-based deal with them yet. but they come over a lot and pet the admiral a lot

-they’re a casual watcher of ghost hunt uk, and they know of melanie cause paranormal nerds attract paranormal nerds, yknow? they’re officially introduced through georgie, and strike up a nice friendship from there (as long as they don’t bring up the archives around her too much).

-in terms of entities they’ve definitely got something lonely-related going on. something about feeling unable to form any meaningful relationships and worrying that no one truly cares about them yet at the same time not having enough motivation to try and form bonds on their own, so they mask their emotions with humor and sarcasm and push away people who would get close to them. peter lukas has them pegged pretty well and is the first supernatural thing to notably rattle them.

-whether they actually become an avatar probably depends on the storyline

-other entities with an opinion on them…the hunt thinks they’re annoying. most of them probably think they’re annoying, actually, at some point, which is sort of their goal. the eye thinks they’re sort of interesting. the spiral likes them, for obvious reasons.

-they sometimes visit jon when he’s living at georgie’s house in the s3 era. this is around the same time they’re becoming close with georgie like That, meaning that on occasion the tables will turn and jon gets a chance to be the third wheel. there’s also genuine friendship stuff going on, though. they talk. they believe him.

-at some point, helen pays them a visit in her new form. and listen, as a gay horror fan, they’d be lying if they said they didn’t sort of vibe with it.

-she visits them a couple more times, seemingly just to talk. she claims the part of her that used to be og helen missed their company.

-also tim doesn’t die in any of the good storylines because it’s my canon now and i said so. :)

-same for sasha. they’re all safe, actually, and everything is fine,

-they do research and pass it along to the archives team when they can and field a lot of sad calls from jon. he claims they owe him for listening to them cry about helen when they thought she ghosted them.

-during s5 and the cosmic apocalypse, they take up shelter inside helen’s hallways. they sort of just stay in a little side room that shuffles their things around occasionally but it’s better than being trapped in their own personal fear hell.

-ze has a domain of their own (cause if you aren’t feeling fear you gotta be making it) but ze doesn’t like spending time there. it creeps zir out and makes zir feel bad. the domain itself is partially spiral partially eye partially lonely. the lights are too bright and the music is too loud and everyone’s looking at you but you can’t recognize anyone or talk to anyone, and every time you try to get away to find a moment of peace you start to forget who you are, and where you are, and what you’re doing, so you ask around to see if anybody knows but everyone still looks right through you and won’t answer your questions. it’s very you’re at the party by lemon demon.

-ze hangs out out with melanie and georgie sometimes during the Stuff but can’t really stay for too long out of fear of putting them in danger. ze stops helen from eating their followers.

-ze eventually runs into jon as he’s traveling back to london and makes a pitstop in the hell hotel. ze initially just lets jon and helen talk but things really don’t go well at all and ze has to step in before they start killing each other. ze convinces jon that helen is trying, and what she says isn’t always truthful but she’s not going to stand in his way if he wants to set the world back to normal. not if it would hurt zir in the process. jon is skeptical but he trusts zir.

-good ends: the apocalypse is over! yay! everyone lives! double yay! they move back into their house but helen still visits them a lot. possibly, they move in with georgie and melanie. whatever the storyline they get at least one girlfriend which is epic and cool for them. they continue to be best friends with jon and complain about things with each other as a love language.

#every day i am jealous of my tma s/i's love life #s/i talk #nyx on comms #ship: doorway to nowhere #ship: going ghost #tag: statement begins

thots on LOGAN, on REAVER, on BEN FINN,

oh man, this might be long I warn you! I’m not sure how best to format it I think I’m gonna do like dots, coz otherwise it’ll be just a massive block of text

LOGAN:

honestly not as many thoughts as the other two aside from “nerd” and “inconsistent face” I look forward to trying to draw him one day and by look forward to I mean dread very much!!!

he’s totally not cishet look how he sits and his colour palette is pretty close to the ace flag so, though since he’s the villain for the decent amount of the game it’s important to be careful with that

I think that his design in combination with how the hobw tends to look feels antisemitic in a way that is recurring in fable that should be addressed more often I really hope if 4 ever happens they change the like good/evil morph pretty considerably, 3 is an improvement though

I don’t have many feelings towards him though as a character, there’s a thing with tone in 3 that I’ll talk about more with reaver that influences this I think, and just in general he sort of exists separately to everyone for most of the game, like he’s the player characters brother you should feel Something but there’s just no like. anything to their interactions. what’s his relationship like with theresa, with walter, with like Anyone, he just monologues at a map!!! do something talk to someone half a character is their interactions!!!! fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

like he’s fun I’ve made posts about him before, on a surface level he’s fun but like past that I just don’t really feel anything towards him? so it’s kind of hard to talk about him

I had an image of him up on my screen while writing this so this entire time he’s been staring me down hdkdj

the uh, like art of him with, the front of the armor that’s shaped like a crown is very funny that’s supposed to go on your head what are you doing

I have my own idea of how Hero stuff works because this is my canon now and I can’t be stopped and I really don’t like some parts of how they say it works, but I don’t know if now is the best place or time to talk about that, it’s partially relevant to all these characters but it’s kind of hard to explain and I feel like by the time I reach the end of this I’ll have no more words so I should really save them? I don’t know, I bring it up because it’s relevant though I just can’t decide

REAVER:

it’s funny that that’s his name, dude’s not very creative huh? like a clothier named Tailor, we get it george you steal things

I mean my name is crow because.I like crows..but I’M allowed to name myself stupid things because I’M sexy and cool and awesome and my ideas are good ones always (sarcasm)

for real though my thoughts here are complicated because there are parts to this character that touch on things that I like(pirates,cool spooky void stuff,) but those don’t get like, any focus

I like him in 2! I only like him in 2. aside from the weird character design decisions 3 made, theres the tone thing I mentioned at logan that I’ve been thinking about lately I’m not sure I can word it right but I’ll give it a shot!

so like, I think, fable likes to be funny, the feel it generally goes for is fun and it’s a fantasy game yknow? characters like jack of blades and lady grey (and the crawler kiiiind of? a bit) are obviously bad but because of either the way the game treats them or the way the game feels or the things they do theyre fun villains who I like! reaver in 2 falls into this I think, yes pirates are real but, like knights and stuff there’s. I can’t think how to word it, there’s a difference between historical knights and fantasy knights and reaver is a fantasy pirate, the shadow court stuff is obviously bad but that’s also not real? the tone of 2 is more serious than 1 and I haven’t replayed it in a while so I’d have to play it to know how it lands Exactly. but reaver in 3 hits too real with actual things and lady grey is also evil rich person but the tone of the game carries that where 3 is serious about it and it’s effects that’s like the whole point and you can have a character and a game that does that but you can’t have that character Also be the fun villain because then it confuses things, that’s Also not to say the fun villain can’t be interesting or like metaphors or whatever obviously it’s just The Feel of the thing, fable 3 can have its evil factory guy but reaver isn’t the character for that for so many reasons. I really don’t think I explained this in a way that makes any sense I can try to word it clearer another time maybe

I have fixed this internal problem I have by pretending very very hard that reaver isn’t in 3 and that’s just some other guy and that’s fixed all of my problems, even that stuff aside from a character perspective I don’t buy it

I have a whole thing about what he’s doing in 3 because I don’t know who the onceler guy is but that’s not him. it’s very neat I think please ask me about it I need an excuse to talk about it and this is already an excuse sure but it’s already very long

anyone else noticed that he always wears things that cover his neck? I noticed it when compiling reference images for my animal crossing thing and I hate to give you the bad news but I am certain he’d never wear the sexy pirate shirt, if I had to design modern clothes for him he’d have a turtleneck

I feel like I could read into the way he dresses (gloves, high neck,yknow?) in an interesting way actually but I’d need to think on it more

also actually before I keep pretending he’s not in 3 I don’t want to brush over the transmisogyny in the poster which is supposed to be viewed as a positive thing since it shows up, like when the rebellion is progressing right? I don’t remember the exact point of the game but you get what I mean. or the dress which would be fine if he wasn’t an antagonist in this game + the poster making it clear it’s intended to be something to be made fun of

I have made pokemon teams for the fable 2 heros because I think about them a lot and pokemon a lot and I want to share but I might wait until I’m in a pokemon brain space so it’s easier for me to, but I have Thoughts

the man who lives forever by lord huron has oakvale reaver vibes for obvious reasons and it’s also a good song and you should listen to it

a few lord huron songs do actually but I don’t want to associate those other ones with him in my brain because I like them and,like, it’s not my fault our aesthetics overlap!! I hate that!!!!!! I’M the sexier bi/pan nonbinary occult pirate Back Off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He gets ONE lord huron song, ONE, no more!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a few conflicting ideas of oakvale reaver actually I need to settle on one but I’m not sure which I’m gonna go with, one that song matches with way better

he wins second place in having inconsistent face hdkdhk

I’m always torn talking about him for like all the reasons I’ve stated and like, people talk about him plenty and maybe what I could say is different coz I think I interpret the character different to the way I see a lot, but it feels like I could put my energy elsewhere better same reason why it feels weird to draw him? he’s popular adding to that pile rather than like anyone else would feel weird of me, but my brain latches on to pirate and goes wild coz they’re important to me separately so, yknow I’m torn

I could say more probably coz like I said the fable 2 heros are my favourites and I have the most thoughts on them, but I’ve been writing this for actual hours coz words are very difficult to make and I have stuff I need to do today

anyway the oakvale ghost pirate is still cooler, he says yarrrrr and Didnt cause oakvales destruction, and he loves his wife!!! that’s like +1000 sexy points!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and he’s a ghost which rocks

BEN FINN:

he’s good : ) !

I like him! he’s good

my thoughts here are very simple and I can’t elaborate past “: ) !!!”

oh he’s trans and bi

and while I usually don’t care about ships unless they’re the seafaring kind, page+hobw+ben finn is cute

he’s just good I have nothing to say and no complicated feelings i just think he’s neat : ) !

one day I’ll elaborate on the hero thing I was talking about with logan I just don’t have the energy right now

I genuinely can’t think of anything right now I’m sorry hdkdjf I just like him that’s enough!!

#long post #asks #lilegghead #logan #ben finn #reaver #THANK YOU SO SO MUCH THIS WAS FUN : D !!!!!!! sorry for taking so long i reblogged the prompt and then immediately forgot and fell asleep an #and then it took me hours to write this hdkdjfk #i am very much out of words now i cant think what to say thank you again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#i cant to the like. read more thing on mobile im pretty sure i want to tag the characters for my own system but i dont want this to show up #in the character tags coz its so long i hope it doesnt #usually if my tags are long like this it wont so im hoping doing this will work hdkjdk
