Horror isekai where Perceiving the Weird Eldritch Thing gets you catapulted into a nightmare labyrinth of puzzle-solving.

I.e Those Who Perceive The Hunt of the Goblin King Must Partake In The Labyrinth and Can Only Be Freed If They Complete It In One Day and One Night. By Fae Law. For Reasons.

But the definition of “perception” clearly needs to be updated because some normal guy simply films the Hunt of the Goblin King Behind Arby’s, and puts it on Facebook -

No, not instagram or TikTok, it’s important that it be Facebook -

Because the rules are pretty clear, “the rules are the rules” as is carved ominously in elvish runes above the grim gate, and the Contract is Sealed. and so therefore the guy and 25 of their most random real-life acquaintances must run the gauntlet together. It’s Some Guy, their immediate neighbors, their first partner’s mom, their friends from hobby Facebook groups (oh this poor guy and their hobbies; the elderly birdwatchers from Facebook and the young up-and-coming drag king community), their random teen kid niece, college friends, a dog who also watched the video, a couple consisting of a woman who is the guy’s Facebook friend and showed her husband the video, and the husband doesn’t even know Some Guy, so he’s in the labyrinth and absolutely furious about being forced to be involved, and they proceed to break up over the course of the puzzle.

It’s important that the narrative keeps trying to be a sexy dark horror isekai! but within this the comedic reality of Catherine, 52, the guy’s horse-riding instructor, being passionately involved in escape-room-style puzzle solving and grappling with minor goblins. They are in fact speedrunning the gauntlet.

The Goblin King finally has to say: all right, actually, I only really set all this up to fuck with one (1) guy at a time, thanks for your willingness to participate, but I think all 25 of you can consider the gauntlet fully run.

And the group would be quite hurt by that. The rules are the rules. We have a contract, actually. Let Catherine cook.

#this feels extremely like… 2015 tumblr to me #but it also feels a sort of comforting honesty in this time #thank you for giving me this safe space #this plot idea just feels like some kind of nostalgia . to me. #writing it out I felt like I knew it was unfashionably written AND YET #I was thinking last night about how Stranger Things works quite #well because it’s set in the 80s… it is load-bearing that it be set in the 80s… it’s plot relevant and worldbuilding #well for some reason this plot has to be set pre-pandemic post-impact-text-memes

The model!Bernard is great but wouldn’t it be mostly likely Tim to be the model since he is a public figure?

yeah ig, logically, tim would be more likely to model than bear but i was thinking of this image when writing that

the og image gives off a sense longing more than horniess but i'm tired of making everything sad. also i just think bear is pretty enough to model. like look at him. this tim and this bear

or wait, fuck, this tim and this bear

model!bear and ceo!tim become gotham's it couple. the tabloids can't stop reporting on it. there's a new breakup rumor every week. the wayne fanbase on twt goes rabid over it. there are fansites dedicated to them. @/imyellingtimber, @downbadfordowd, @drakeinpants, the whole works. they get married and the internet breaks.

#i actually dont really like that first pic of tim. i think he looks too much like a child but i Love that haircut on him #that 2nd pic of tim.... going feral #he needs to bring that haircut back #bear is gorgeous as always #there is no bad bear photo #also obsessed with the idea of bear running a couples tt ac #but like tim is not on tt so bear gets him to do all the trends with him #all of the comment section is just filled with 'im sleeping on the freeway tonight' #also the og image giving off a sense of longingness... if i made the hc true to the image then tim would've /had/ to be the model #cause if you want longing then bear post!shooting has loads of it #and i didn't want to make it sad. #thanks for the ask! #asks #introspective.txt #bernard dowd #tim drake #timbern

[bear-bear-bear-bear-bear]

so we recently had to put our dog down and my husband and i have been struggling with his loss, so we started going back through old pictures of him starting with my husband’s phone and then moving onto mine…where my husband promptly ran into page after page after page (after page) of halsin/bg3 pictures…

we’re sitting on the couch, both grieving - both crying, and all he can say is “that’s a lot of pictures of that bear guy”

…babe you have NO idea

#🤣 #it’s a drop in the bucket compared to what in my steam folder #the app won’t even load all my screenshots anymore #this isn’t even all that’s on my phone either - just what i can attach in one post #i just love ‘that bear guy’ so much #🐻❤️ #halsin baldursgate my beloved

Okay, so, question I've had for a while but never got around to asking, what the FUCK is up with Grian's wings?

If all physical differences in players (like those particularly ascribed to 'Hybrids' in mcyt fanon) in Hunger AU are a result of conscious altering of your own code for the express purpose of achieving YOUR IDEAL BODY(tm) then what does that mean for Grian and his wings? No one seems to regard Grian's wings as "What The Fuck, You Can DO That?!?" so presumably wings aren't so big of a change from normal biology that players can't do that. If so, why is it not more common? Man, if I could have wings I'd jump on that in seconds. Especially with the sheer utility the ability to fucking FLY gives players. Are wings (and maybe other larger alterations) just like, REALLY HARD to code in? If so, that might add a really cool layer of "Oh wow! They must be a really good coder!" to players who meet people like that.

On a related note, Grian seems to have a positive regard for his wings, which is interesting because I would be willing to bet he didn't have that before *insert sounds of worm-bursting and non-consensual body modification*. I imagine seeing his wings would likely feel like a reminder of the Watchers and what they did to him. BUT, Watchers manipulate their own code when they change like Grian did to, y'know, not be a worm anymore so Grian probably specifically chose how he looked, right? So, unless he did so really rushed and somehow made a mistake while doing so (which he might not be able to risk the structural damage of correcting), keeping the wings was a conscious decision. Does Grian just not associate his wings with the Watchers or is it something else? Does he just really enjoy having wings?

HELLO I AM SO GLAD YOU'VE ASKED THIS BECAUSE I HAVE ‼️‼️‼️‼️ MANY THOUGHTS ABOUT IT ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

Okay okay so these are all SUCH valid questions, lemme go through them one by one. Wings are indeed something anyone could have if they wanted to code them in-- and in fact, i do believe many other Players have wings throughout the universe!!! As far as body mods go, i like to think of them as decently popular, so its definitely not anything too weird to see. In chapter 5, i even make a mention to Pearl having moth wings she occasionally codes in due to preference!!! So wings of many different types are definitely available-- but the catch is that they're real fiddly to code. You cant just give yourself wings, you have to code in the bone structure, the muscles, the tendons, etc etc, and then you have to change your entire body structure as well to work with and fully support them. They can be awkward and unwieldy, as ive tried to show in the fic itself, and i think that alone can be a big discouragement for Players considering coding in wings, along with the sheer coding effort needed to obtain them and make them functional

And the thing is, elytra already exist-- they're far more compact, they dont take up as much space, you can take them on and off super easily without having to mess with your coding, and they basically do the same thing. Sure, its a pain to get one, but a lot of Players really enjoy the sense of accomplishment, and i think theres a bit of cultural prestige too in that regard. Server milestones are a huge thing in Player culture, and getting your first pair of elytra is a big one!!! So it makes sense to me that people who just dont want to go through the effort of coding in wings (which can then in turn complicate how they code other future modifications) primarily stick to elytra.

And everybody is different-- some people prefer attributes that arent wings. I like to think everyone in hermitcraft generally is a mix of "jeez thats effort, i could be building my base instead of doing that" and "eh im fine how i am, i like it" and "well we have elytra shops everywhere so why bother".

So in short, yeah!! Wings are a bit complex to code in. They're still pretty popular, i think plenty of Players do choose to incorporate them, but it takes a lot of hard and thorough work to make sure they function right and wont bug you out when you use them. There are billions of Players scattered across the universe, so what you're seeing in the fic right now is truly just a drop in the ocean when it comes to Player body diversity :] and then, elytra basically already help Players achieve a form of flight without the hassle of recoding their entire body structure, so i think the majority of Players just prefer to use them instead.

AS FOR GRIAN'S WINGS IN PARTICULAR......

Well..... its complicated. Particularly his feelings about them-- in the fic, i referenced them as the only good thing the Watchers ever gave him, and thats how he sees it, i think: a thin silver lining. He's had many, many years to get used to them, and i think he goes through periods where he hates them and the memories attached, too. Ultimately, he's kinda stuck with them, so i think he hit a form of acceptance (as bitter-tinged as it may be) out of sheer necessity for his own sanity.

As for why he has them, and hasnt coded them out: i think of it as a particular quirk of biology/structural coding. Watchers have a more instinctive way of coding than Players, but a Player-minded Watcher is still going to think like a Player, and thats going to muddle things a lot. Grian essentially had to relearn how to code, in a way that satisfied both Player and Watcher-style coding, and the results at first were.... a little rough around the edges. Once he managed to finally take on his original former appearance, the wings from his true form just kind of.... stuck. I like to think it took a few increasingly desperate tries before he realized he just could not figure out how to get rid of them (bc of how different his new code was), and had to accept that this was just how he was gonna have to live for a while until he finally figured it out. And then, well.... you can get used to anything, if you're stuck with it long enough. I think after a while it just stopped being a huge priority, and then he reached a point where it would be more awkward to live without them than with them, and he eventually dropped the idea altogether. And i think sometimes, they function almost like a scar, to him-- a reminder of what he went through, yes, but a reminder that he did manage to escape. And, ofc, he also just really, really likes flying skdjskdjdj

So yeah, loads of complicated feelings there about his wings, and its stuff i do plan on exploring later in the fic!!! This got a little rambly, but i hope this makes sense and answers your questions!!!! :D its a fun little complicated knot that im glad someone has gotten curious enough to ask about!!!!

#shouting speaks #asks #hunger au #grian #watcher grian #watcher!grian #hermitcraft #ig like. basically its all abt human behavior at the end of the day #not everybody codes in wings bc not everybody wants to. grian chooses to keep them bc hes lived w/ them so long it feels better this way #also i do think it took several tries for him to regain his player appearance. like he glitched several times #while trying to modify his body to accomodate the Problem Wings™ #kinda like... what was it. load bearing coconut in the tf2 games #you take it out the entire game wont start #he tried taking out his wings and it almost turned him into goo. atp it was better just to leave them until he gained more experience #and then when he got to that point it no longer felt like a priority/he'd settled into having them #so yeah fkwjdkekdk human illogic behavior. ur gonna see that a TON in the fic itself #long post #txt

I think the idea of a movie adaptation of What Manner of Man in this day and age is honestly really funny. I think someone could have gotten away with it in the 1970s in Italy (and only in Italy), but in 2023? What would they even do?

this picture-in-picture stuff for really long paintings is a mixed blessing. on one hand, i get to watch bad old movies during the long, tedious parts of the process. but the downside is that when the painting is done and i'm looking at it, i yearn for a tiny tom servo to put in the corner. the composition. it seems so empty now

I know that no one who follows me is demanding New Content, but I'm annoyed that I've been motivated and excited to draw, yet for the past few weeks/months haven't always been able to.

I think things are finally improving, or at least returning to a level of normalcy I can deal with, though I still might not regularly share new art for a while. But I do have:

secret project! (not actually secret. i just enjoy referring to it this way for now.) secret project ends mid-May.

FTH art (x2), which is kind of the light at the end of the tunnel for me - both of them are SUCH good ideas by the people who requested them. I should be able to finish them around late May-June-ish.

TRE WEEK......... which is in August. I don't want to over-commit ahead of time to doing something for each day except that I really, really do, but hopefully over the summer I can spend some time to make something nice for it, however much that ends up being. and if I don't, I will simply appreciate from a distance whatever comes of the fandom allowing 'beach episode' as a prompt

in general, I feel like I need to do more studies & seriously practice certain things I want to improve. I kind of want to go into hibernation for a bit to focus on studies, so I can try to complete the above projects + other things at a level that I'm happy with. so if there isn't anything new or interesting here for a little while, that may be why o7

#i need a text post tag #did i need to explain this in a post? no <3 #but i become so miserable if i don't draw for a while lol #I underestimated how much dealing with health shit would negatively impact my sanity #save me load-bearing shitty fanart doodles.....save me #anyway it helps just to write things out and know that i have a plan even if i'm not producing much i can show anyone right now

I wrote a longer and more overwrought version of this post when I was slightly drunker (yay distillery book club) but the shorter, more sober-clarity version is: it's so ridiculous that about 50% of my current fandom experience is based on things that are now 25 years old (thanks for the reminder, lucasfilm) and yet I'm terrified of being left behind because I 'can't move on' from something that is now barely 5 years old

you could probably attempt to make some sort of sweeping statement about this, like the lifespan of media now versus the early 00s, but what it's really about is my own issues with abandonment which is affecting both my ability to move on (I really struggle with the 'crew breaks up between installment thing', always have) and also the general fear of behind left behind, rather than any real trends in fandom as a whole

ok I think that's enough for superb owl sunday

#anyway yeah in case you were lost i just can't engage with jedi survivor content #and it's honestly less about like my own writing #because as mentioned idk i'm still having a lot of fun with the prequel trilogy/JA fics lol #and more that i start to feel guilty because i have to skip fics and gifsets #i can't always follow people back who follow me #and i hope no one takes it personally #or as a statement of quality of jedi survivor because i'm actually ok with like 99% of the plot!! it looked good! #it was also just that i maybe let fallen order become a load bearing wall in my emotional health by accident #whoops #it just twice now has helped me out of some pretty rough patches and....i think it *is* the emotionally mature thing to...stop #to just let canon keep going but hold myself back at a certain point #okay now for real that's enough for superb owl sunday #is this reassurance seeking? yes but it's less so than the earlier draft so send post #anyway

last night a friend put the open question "what's that thing that if you ever explained its function in your psychic economy to another person they'd be confused/horrified" and i realized the answer was "fanon, beta canon, and metacanon about cardassia/cardassians/kardasi language + culture"

#post-canon cardassia is so load-bearing in my psychic economy it's unreal
