more seriously i'm realizing the thing that makes it hard to go back to vanilla minecraft for me is that vault hunters, and then modded as a whole, is way less... self-guided than vanilla. like, okay, no, you can play modded in a very free, self-guided way, like if you just install create and go ham the progression is very similar to vanilla. but in something like vault hunters or another modpack, there are often quest systems that give you concrete goals as you go that help like... scaffold what you're doing. it makes it easier for my brain to latch on to. but it's not just that; it's ALSO that, by the nature of certain things in modded, i have ways to set my own progression goals WELL PAST the 'endgame' of minecraft that aren't just 'build a really big thing', and give me a sense of being Better and More Efficient now.

like, okay. in my current vault hunters playthrough i am level 90. i have been playing since like, september i think? normally by now in vanilla i've hit endgame and don't really need anything else and then i quit. but in vault hunters, even though i've very reached endgame there, i have things i can do that will give me a real sense of Actual Progression. on the vault hunters end, my Actual Progression goal is to make my divine paradox vault as good as possible and unlock some of the god armor transmogs. on the modded end, i am DEEP in mekanism and can go 'well, if i make a fusion reactor i can make antimatter, which will make me REALLY post-scarcity, but also means i'll be generating power that doesn't risk exploding and is more effective than my current fission reactor is. maybe i'll quintuple ores while i'm at it.'

and yeah, those are ALSO an unnecessary self-directed goals! they're basically the equivalent of 'i should build a megabase' in terms of absurd resource grind and being unnecessary! but at the end i get something Tangible that makes me Better At Game, which makes it feel like i'm accomplishing something a little better than giant builds tend to for me. like, at the end of my god altar arbitrary goal, i get something. at the end of my mekanism arbitrary goal, i get something. but ALSO i get something at every grindy step along the way, too, and at least FOR ME, modded is better than vanilla at giving me rewards for my progress?

and this isn't me saying there SHOULD be more 'rewards' for progress in vanilla minecraft; part of the whole POINT of minecraft is that it's open-ended and self-driven. it's just that that's also the reason that the moment i make it to the end in one of my minecraft playthroughs i'm like. well i could grind for netherite but i don't like building that much so i guess it's time to pack it up and do something else instead. for someone else, having so many concrete goals would feel railroady and break the 'progression', or lack thereof, of vanilla minecraft! i get that.

they're different playstyles and it makes perfect sense why someone might prefer one to the other is what i'm saying, but like, if you've only ever tried to play modded in packs WITHOUT a quest or progression system to help guide you, let this be me saying "no i actually think that's an integral part of the first time playing modded experience in order to GET why people like modded", yeah?

#vh talk #let this be me talking you into playing a modpack with a progression system btw #obviously my favorite is vault hunters #but i've seen good things with sky factory or stoneblock too if the vh pve grind isn't your thing

now i'm imagining all of the vault hunters working at fast food establishments (except aurelia. she'd probably be a critic at some extremely fancy-pants restaurant), which ones do you think would fit each of those?

Alright this is probably my favorite ask I've gotten in a while. Full disclosure I rarely eat fast food so I'm going solely off of vibes here

Roland: Gives me McDonald's/Burger King manager energy (except he's a good dude and not like a shitty manager) ((we love roland))

Lilith: Honestly? I could see Lilith working at like Panera. If that doesn't count as fast food probably like... Pizza Hut.

Brick: You already know my man works at Burger King. He wears the crown.

Mordecai: Definitely like a pizza hut or domino's type of guy. Tired and doesn't get paid enough (no fast food worker does)

Axton: you know that one drive thru worker who would sing the McDonald's theme and everyone loved him? That's Axton.

Maya: Maya would probably find herself working at Starbucks. I could absolutely see her being a fantastic barista and calling anyone who whined about her order a bitch. Also she'd look good in the apron...

Zer0: Works at Five Guys, also does the "Back at it again at Krispy Kreme" Vine thing every shift. Worked at Subway, got fired because they'd make people speak in haiku to order their sandwiches.

Salvador: Wendy's man. Surprisingly, tame at work. I could also see him as a Dunkin Donuts worker.

Gaige: If Gaige was forced to work fast food she'd probably get a McDonald's job and do the "overly nice but obviously sarcastic" voice to everyone until she snapped and got fired. Also probably dips her metal hand in the grease traps to slap a bitch.

Krieg: "THE LITTLE MAN LOVES THAT CHICKEN FROM POPEYE'S!" also employee of the month.

Athena: Canonically was very desperate for work so probably any of them but I think the funniest thing I can think of is Athena being one of those stone-cold McDonald's managers that have to constantly deal with shitty customers. I could also totally see her being a Chipotle worker and wrapping her burritos way too tightly out of aggression.

Nisha: I don't know if Texas Roadhouse counts but if it doesn't she'd definitely be working at a Pizza Hut. Hates her job.

Wilhelm: Disgruntled Burger King worker. (This ask was in response to the post I made about him)

Claptrap: Honestly, I could see Claptrap at any fast food restaurant but thinking of Claptrap as a sign spinner for like... Taco Bell seems perfect. KFC is also an option (props if you get this)

Timothy: Again, would work any kind of job for money, but I want to say he'd fit into like a Sonic or something.

Aurelia: As per the ask, would not go within 500 feet of a fast food restaurant. Prestigious food critic, total bitch about it. (I really love Aurelia I promise)

FL4K: Gives me Burger King energy because I think it'd be hilarious to see them wearing the crown. Also because I want to hear SungWon Cho (FL4K's VA) say "Your whopper is ready."

Zane: Banned from all fast food restaurants for public inebriation. Was formerly employed at Panda Express.

Moze: You know my girl is a Taco Bell employee. Drinks exclusively Baja Blast mixed with monster. Constantly making suggestions to people about what's good on the menu. Somehow doesn't put on any weight even when her diet is solely Taco Bell for like a month.

Amara: You know Amara would ideally want to work at one of those muscle bars, but as for fast food? I want to say she'd work at Arby's because she finds the commercials funny. That or Chipotle.

my favorite part of borderlands as a series is that half of the vault hunters from the pre sequel turned out to be evil

like you have:

evil yee haw

evil almost robot (who likes steak)

evil ice witch

then you have:

hot gladiator

spongetron

guy who just wants to pay off his student loans

obviously timothy will always be my favorite vault hunter who isn't mordecai, i mean, look at him. he's having a constant identity crisis og reminds me of a wet cat in a taco suit

#borderlands #borderlands the pre sequel #wilhelm the enforcer #nisha the lawbringer #athena the gladiator #claptrap #timothy lawrence

MCYT Drawing Poll

I’m so silly, let’s keep doing polls for no reason but to get drawing suggestions !

This time around I will be doing a poll for my favorite content creators to draw! (This will be consisting of mostly popular creators)

But nonetheless you can vote for your favorite creator or just who you would like to be drawn the most!

Obviously no wars please if this ends up getting a lot of re-blogs!

Btw I apologize if these polls are annoying on the tags, if they are I’ll just stop doing them*

what is your least favorite jack misinterpretation

I think nothing boils my blood more then people who straight up ignore the fact Jack fucked up a LOT or say that his actions in the pre sequel were at all justified.

It's easy to look past some of thing things he did, but even in the pre sequel Jack was very much already on his set path. The game isn't even secretive of that. He'd gone behind his Boss's back, hiring the vault hunters despite only being a programmer.

People will say that what Moxxi did to him justifies Jack's anger + tantrum but it doesn't? Yes, she blew up the Eye of Helios, which was a thing Jack very obviously appreciated. He also wanted to use said thing to blow up Pandora. He states this clearly. This isn't something he wants after Moxxi confronts him and tells him how she'd been working behind his back.

While Jack arguably can have the right to be upset (used very loosely because again, he wanted to murder an *entire* planet), it doesn't mean he can break his surroundings and act like a toddler. That's not how a well adjusted grown man deals with something upsetting him.

Also. In the same game, when he's worried about a mole, and sends those scientists out the airlock? There was no reason for that. Jack exclaims he likes that! He exclaims he likes killing the merrif.

I don't understand how people look at the pre sequel and say that Jack was good in it, or that later events in that game turned him bad. He was *always* bad, because that's his character.

You can see "early" glimpses of this in the 3rd game during the mission looking into Angel's childhood. No good man would lock up his own daughter. Angel was a scared, confused child. She wasn't responsible for hurting her mother.

And the way Jack responds to that? While understandable and a shock response, how he is after proves again that he in no way has been "good" from the start and then changed. He should have consoled Angel, not force her into a cage.

People really get Jack's path entirely wrong and when people try to use the pre sequel to prove their point it annoys me so much. Did you actually play the game? Did you listen to ANYTHING Jack said or did? What version did you play that I missed where Jack is ever a hero?

#There are tons more little things I HATE but god nothing does it quicker then 'well actually Jack was...' like no he wasn't #Elias answers #Like jokingly? So fun to say hes a hero but he's not. He's a murderer. He wanted to rage genocide on an entire planet and wipe it clean. By #any means necessary. He abused his own daughter and *heavily* abused his body double. Still your hero? Does a hero make his body double pla #y him in sex movies? Does he shoot a lady dead to match her husband? Is that your definition of a hero?#also saying it here in tags I get the hotness factor trust me. He is not fucking ripped. He doesn't have an 8 pack #anyway all in all? How the fuck do some people play the pre sequel and just miss eveything huh???#it really feels like some fans take liking him (and therefore needing to defend him) to the extreme when like... you can still like him an #d be aware of his infractions you know??

Katagawa Jr hehe

hi elyan :) thank you for sending my boy

-(favorite thing about them): i just think he’s got so much interesting character potential, in his implicit backstory as well as the way he talks ;-; i also love his little bang LMAO

-(least favorite thing about them): gearbox is racist. the way they treat him in the game falls on so many negative stereotypes and its very nasty to see, especially the way it encourages weirdos in the fandom to also do that (particularly in sexualizing him). 👍

-(favorite line): i love ALL his dialogue but my favorites are either “(the loud scream he does after the zanara gets destroyed”), or when you plug in the viper drive and he mocks rhys by going “heya, vault hunter. viper drive: state-of-the-art GARBAGE! :D now DIE, please!”

-(brOTP): in atlas AU i love kat and august’s brotherly relationship - i also consider kat and sasha’s relationship in that AU to be practically twins so ;-;

-(OTP): t…tim…timkat….

-(nOTP): kat and rhys obviously, kat canonically sees rhys as a (hopeful) brother figure and i will never stop reminding everyone of this

-(random headcanon): i headcanon that he has ADHD, so insert a whole list of little quirks he has here; he chews his pens, he likes stress balls, he talks a lot, and he likes to play with his hair/when others play with his hair

-(unpopular opinion): a lot of people consider him to be hedonistic but i disagree, i think he’s very career-oriented and ambitious canonically

-(song i associate with them): a lot, but ‘are you satisfied’ by marina and the diamonds is very bl3 kat

-(favorite picture of them): its a low-poly one but i think this is the best he looks in-game lmao

#thank you for the ask :DDDD i love taking about kat as we are all aware by now #asks #katagawa jr

oh sbit we're doing that character meme again? alright lemme request the quadruple whammy of Alistair Hammerlock-Jakobs, Wainwright Jakobs-Hammerlock, Gaige & Angel

quick note, I might not have an answer for all of them T-T (also it's 2 am here and I'm running on fumes)

favorite thing about them

Hammerlock: tbh it's mainly because he shares the same VA as Sebastian from Black Butler and Sebastian was my favorite when I was in middle/highschool

Wainwright: he gives peepaw vibes....if that counts....

Gaige: I usually gravitate towards the "cute but deadly" type of characters

Angel: Definitive Blorbo!!!!!😭😭😭 she deserves better!!!!!

least favorite thing about them

Hammerlock's DLC's aren't good. BGH is just really bad and GLaT is better but the Horror in the Woods chapter didn't need to be added (like couldn't we just fight a frozen space yeti for it's flaming balls

Speaking of GLaT, I'm really iffy on Gaige's pretrial (the whole acting responsible and mature thing)

Wainwright and Angel:..... nothing

favorite line

Wainwright shouting at the vault hunters for having a lack of whimsy was kinda funny and when Angel called her father and asshole

brOTP

ANGEL AND CLAPTRAP ARE BESTIES YOU'RE HONOR AND IF PEOPLE DISAGREE I WILL FIGHT THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!

OTP

I mean....It kinda obvious........

(wainlock and gaigel)

nOTP

Wainwright and Hammerlock: any women (obviously)

Gaige: Gaige/Tyreen (HARD NO!!!!) and Mechro/Gunner (do I need to explain)

Angel: any men (Lesbian Angel truthers unite!!!)

random headcanon

After being disconnected from the injectors, Angel's blood changed color from red to purple due to the countless injections.

It did revert back to a somewhat normal color after a few months of recovery.

unpopular opinion

............

song i associate with them

Wainwright and Hammerlock: uhhhh.....?????

Gaige and Angel: Angel of Mine by Subdigitals

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdm54otawac

favorite picture of them

I don't have any, my photo gallery is nothing but finished works or reaction images ༼⁠;⁠´⁠༎ຶ⁠ ⁠۝ ⁠༎ຶ⁠༽

What I want from the Elder Scrolls VI: Homes

Repurpose Hearthfire so that instead of building my house in the middle of nowhere, I can build my totally custom house in my favorite city. I shouldn’t have to live in the middle of nowhere to build my dream home. My biggest problem with Hearthfire is that you don’t get to be part of a community in the middle of nowhere, so you lose out on the feeling of belonging to a city the way you get from having a home there.

Allow more variety while building said house. If I’m a vampire building a lair for myself and other vampires, I should be allowed to choose to fill a room with beds or with coffins.

Make the player home capable of having a function. Have you ever wanted to roleplay at owning an orphanage, an inn or tavern, a church, a brothel, or a guild of your very own? You should be allowed to turn your player home into such an establishment by making your player home accessable by NPCs and turning it into a business. In the case of a guild, you make it only available to your own guild member allies, while if it’s a store, NPCs will come by to drink, play, eat, pray, get a room for the night, etc. It can really bolster the roleplay value.

Have more house design types. If I’m role playing as a priest, I may want my holy mage to have a house that resembles a cathedral. Stain glass windows, shrines, statues of the divines, pews, vaulted ceilings, that sort of thing. But then, my vampire lord is probably going to want a gigantic gothic castle complete with gargoyles, cages for vampire cattle, statues of Molag Bal. My necromancer would probably want to live in a crypt or mausoleum, my nobleman in a manor or castle, a hunter in an isolated hut, a witch in a cave. Just offer more variety in the types of homes people can build.

Let players move into more places. If I want to roleplay as a priest of Dibella, but I can’t find or have a bed in the Temple of Dibella or the Temple of the Divines, it kind of takes me out of the roleplay. This doesn’t even need to be a super hard feature to implement. Maybe it can be as simple as approaching whoever owns the building and saying something like “I’d like to have a bed here.” and depending on the place, they’ll either offer it to you free of charge, or they’ll ask a fee of you to have a bed there and from then on, it counts as a place where you live and are welcome to sleep at any time.

Factions and Guild Halls should count as player homes. Like, I find it very odd that I can literally be the leader of the Thieves’ Guild, but the Cistern isn’t treated as one of my many homes. Even if it’s as simple as putting an official player home in the guild hall and making it only available to the guild leader to make it a reward, or something. After all, I know I’m not the only one who’s seen the mods that puts a players home right in the Thieves’ Guild headquarters. Some may ask about the spouse and kid, but as I’ve mentioned before, your spouse and kid should be allowed to join your faction. Especially if you’re the leader. But if Babette can chill in the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary, I think Lucia can hang around the Ragged Flaggon and learn the art of pickpocketing. Just become a full family of thieves. Some factions I could understand having certain limitations or requirements though, like Castle Volkihar only letting you live there if you’re a vampire makes sense.

Once you are officially considered to live in a location, you should be allowed to edit the layout… within an extent. As an example, when I used a mod to marry Jon Battle-Born, I was very content to live with his family in Whiterun, until I realized there was no bed for an adopted child. Being allowed to add on rooms to NPC buildings, or add a new bed to the house would be a nice way to expand the family without having to uproot the family and move them somewhere else just to sate my desire for a bigger family. Obviously your spouse’s house would offer more customization than if you moved into a temple or a crypt or something, but it’s something to think about.

Just the ability to change, redesign, or remodel a house once you own it would be nice. Say you’ve bought Proudspire Manor in Solitude. Bought all the stations and rooms, but now that you have it, you want more. Well, there should be such a choice. Do you want your home to house a big family? You’re going to need a long dining room table for family dinners, and more bedrooms to accommodate everyone. It’s the biggest, most expensive house in Skyrim but someone still ends up sleeping on a bedroll alone in the basement? I should be able to change that room so that it feels like a nice bedroom and not like a dank prison cell. Whether you’re putting down rugs, repainting walls, adding wall decorations, putting in more beds, removing clutter, or filling up empty space, it helps a player home feel more unique to you. Maybe then, instead of Bethesda watching their players mod the houses they designed, the players will change their attention to showing off how they renovated their house, show you how they did it, or how they managed to build a hot spring in the basement.

*Yawns as she straps on her death dealer outfit and sings.* Alright, y’all ghouls, it’s time to dive into the adult horror anime Castlevania. For the record, I won’t be reviewing Seasons 1-2. My reviews here are informal and are done purely after I either complete or I have mind to write something down.So before you click please understand this post is Filled With Spoilers!

Let us begin, Season 3 does what I love about Castlevania and that is showing us the diversity of Vampires as well as different stories weaving into one. The chaos unleashed after Dracula’s death (who btw is one of my favorite misanthropic villains ever) sees a massive power vacuming forming. Previously, we had poor himbo Hector dragged off by Carmilla to her castle in Styria. Fun fact, we learn that Styria is ruled by a vampiric council of women! YUP. Lets now ignore the blatant gay of our villains Strega the vampire general of Styria and her wife (yes they are most definitely married in some vampire form headcannoning this) Morana (Styria’s administrator). The scheme their sister brings along is fairly in tune with what Hector thought Darcula was going to do. Seal humans off into a giant farm and live off the kine / livestock. Hector is a guy you just want the abuse to end for so when Lonore (the diplomat of the Council) tricks him it was interesting to see her treating him like a beloved pet. Their situation is obviously toxici as most vampiric and mortal one’s are, and to be honest once Lenore started “convince” Hector to leave with her it was a done deal. Meanwhile, Alucard’s lonely existence is ruined by twins, Sumi and Taka, who inform him of their slavery under Vampiress Lady Cho in Japan. He takes them in to train them as Monster Hunters going as far to give them access to the Belmont family vault and the foreseeable happens. This is Castlevania and, of course, the twins betray Alucard and he’s left back to his quiet existence. I really was happy to see a bisexual character as a main lead in Castlevania, though I am sad he’s just getting more misanthropic by the day. This leads us back to Sypha and Trevor our monster hunters who just botch the shit out of their attempt to save a town. Not only were the satanic monks well obviously satanic, the town’s Judge was a damn child serial killer. So, once again welcome to crapsack world and never let Castlevania think you can have nice things! If there is one guy I just adore and constantly root for it’s Isaac. Yet another Misanthropic pretty boy who like Hector is capable of shifting dead bodies into demonic monsters (Night Creatures). If you hate mankind and you just wanna root for someone Isaac is your guy. On a massive revenge scheme to kill everyone who betrayed Dracula our Forgemaster goes toe-to-toe with an evil magician and nary wins by the slice of his dagger. Overall it was a good day of watching. The first and second seasons are far stronger in storyline and I feel like season 3 lagged a lot in both Alucard and the Monster Duo stories. Isaac’s is fairly strong and the various facets of the Council of Sisters really makes me wish more worlds blended out vampire culture to this level. So if you like horror, beatiful animation and LGBT leads, check it out!

If you're still taking prompts #1 There’s people chasing us and I pulled you into the alley with me and wow you’re close pleaseeeeeeeeee

The night was supposed to have turned out differently. Once upon a time, literally less than a few hours ago, Stiles had a plan. One that totally didn’t involve wooing Derek Hale, except maybe it did.

But then everything went wrong.

“Hey, Derek,” Stiles said, glancing over. “Remember that one time you decided to visit the pack at college, I warned you there were hunters around, and you said it’d be fine anyway?”

Derek shot Stiles a glare as they ducked out of sight, the rest of the pack having split up hours ago. Stiles smirked back, pretty sure he did.

The crowded streets of New York were not where Stiles had been expecting to spend his night but then Scott had suggested they go out to eat, the rest of the pack had agreed, and Stiles had been the first one to realize they were being stalked by hunters.

“Because I do,” Stiles said. “I remember very specifically telling you no. But do you ever listen? Oh, of course not. It’s just Stiles, after all.”

“Shut up, Stiles.”

“I’m just staying,” Stiles said, waving a hand through the air. “Maybe if you started listening to the token human more often, you’d know better than to go out as prime bait for a bunch of hunters.”

“They won’t do anything in public.”

“Have you never seen any movies, dude? A knife stuck in the gut coated in wolfsbane and you’ll be dead before you can react. And they’ll be gone before we can stop them.”

“Glad to hear you care.”

“I don’t care,” Stiles grumbled. “I just don’t want to have to explain to my dad why I let his favorite deputy get killed on his paid vacation to New York city.”

“Shut up, Stiles.”

“You said that already.”

“Well, it looks like I’m saying it again.”

Stiles rolled his eyes, glancing around. “Where are we going? Do you have a plan to meet up with the others?”

“Once we lose the hunters, we’ll double back to the university.”

Stiles started to glance backward but a firm hand on his shoulder had his eyes snapping back over the Derek. The man gave him a warning look and Stiles rolled his eyes.

“Fine, fine, I’m not looking. How do you know where we’re going anyway?”

“I used to live here.”

Stiles’s stomach flipped. He’d forgotten about that. It seemed like so much of their lives had been spent running around Beacon Hills, but Stiles supposed only his was. Derek, on the other hand, had managed to escape at one point. Until he got dragged back into it all again, that was.

Derek gave him a disgruntled look. “What are you thinking about?”

“What? Nothing.”

“Your scent is doing something weird.”

Stiles gave him an amused look, crooking up and eyebrow and Derek rolled his eyes. His grip on Stiles’s shoulders had never left and suddenly, he tightened it, yanking Stiles off the sidewalk and into the nearest… bar, he realized. Stiles made a noise of protest, nearly losing his balance, and Derek moved his grip to cup the back of Stiles’s neck, righting him out again.

“Come on,” Derek said, moving toward the bar. Stiles’s mind spun.

The man behind the counter straightened as Derek approached. For a moment, he looked downright murderous and Stiles tensed, trying to backpedal against Derek’s grip. But then the man broke out in a wide grin and lowered the glass he was cleaning, throwing open his arms.

“Hale!”

That was… new. Stiles stopped struggling and let Derek lead him around the counter and the other man moved over and… actually hugged Derek. Like a normal human being. Like friends who hadn’t seen each other in a couple of years or something.

Derek just grunted. The man barked a laugh.

“Still vocal as ever, I see.”

“Carlos, I need you to get us into the back room.”

Carlos raised an eyebrow, stepping back. His eyes snapped Derek to Stiles and then back, and he looked curious for a moment. Stiles barely kept his eyes from flicking toward the bar door, but then the man nodded and led them out of sight.

Stiles could have melted in relief.

Except his mind was still spinning; Derek actually knew other people. At some point during his life, he had clearly been here. Making friends. Maybe even laughing with this… Carlos dude.

He led them out of the main bar area and into a large room filled with kegs, bottles, and a back door. Carlos turned around then, arms crossed, and studied Derek.

“What’s this all about, Hale? I haven’t seen you or your sister in years.”

“Laura’s gone,” Derek said, jaw clenched. Carlos’s face dropped.

“What? I’m sorry to hear it.”

“I’m not back in the city for very long.”

Carlos’s eyes snapped sideways, searching Stiles up and down. Stiles shifted from foot to foot, trying not to fidget, and then Carlos glanced back. “You in some kind of trouble?”

“No.”

“Really? Not even with werewolf stuff?”

Stiles went stock-still. Carlos noticed his reaction and barked a laugh.

“So that’s what it is then.”

“Hunters,” Derek said quietly. “I don’t know if they followed us in here or not. I’m sorry to come into your territory unannounced, but—”

Carlos waved a hand through the air. As Stiles watched, the man’s eyes flickered to gold and he caught a hint of fang. “Hunters in here come and go. I’ll take a look and tell you if it’s safe to leave yet, alright?”

Derek nodded silently. The man clapped him on the shoulder before leaving the backroom again and Stiles just stared in shock.

Slowly, he turned to look at Derek. The man was avoiding his gaze. “Dude.”

“What.”

“He’s a werewolf.”

“Yes.”

“Who owns a bar.”

Derek gave him a flat look. “Werewolves have jobs too, Stiles. What do you think we do?”

“I dunno, dude! Before I found out about your family vault, I thought maybe you just magically had money all the time or something. I mean you drive a Camaro!”

Derek flinched. Stiles instantly felt bad, biting down on his lower lip.

“So you know him?”

“I used to work as a bartender here.”

Stiles blinked and Derek fixed him with a flat look again, arms folded over his chest. After a moment, Stiles shook his head. “Sorry. I’m totally not surprised or anything but uh, he knew Laura too?”

“This is a werewolf owned bar. It’s supernatural friendly.”

“Is that a thing?”

“Hunters don’t start fights here. Even those without a code know better than to break certain states of peace. Carlos will make sure they’re gone and then we’ll go out the back door.”

Stiles studied his face. Then nervously licked his lips. “This isn’t the first time you’ve done this before.”

“Sometimes we would get certain people in trouble.”

“Not just werewolves?”

Derek looked away, obviously not keen on the conversation. Stiles nodded silently and shifted again, glancing back toward where Carlos had vanished. He chuckled lightly.

“You made friends, big guy.”

“Shut up.”

“You’re not all grumps and growls.”

“I have friends, Stiles.”

Stiles snorted. Derek gave him a look and the smile melted from his face. “Of course you do, Sourwolf. We’re friends, aren’t we?”

He thought the man’s face softened. But then Derek just rolled his eyes. “No.”

“Liar.”

“You’re a thorn in my side.”

“A tender one.”

Derek’s eyes flickered and Stiles felt his face turn hot. But before he could say another word or possibly make things worse, Carlos came back into view again, wiping his hands off on a dishtowel.

“All clear, Hale.”

Derek nodded once and turned toward the back door, but Carlos caught him by the shoulder before he could make his escape. The man went stock-still and slowly turned around.

“You’re okay out there, right, Hale?”

Derek nodded once. Carlos glanced over at Stiles.

“You’ve found a pack?”

Derek let a little bit of red bleed into his eyes in answer. Carlos straightened and then nodded, a slightly fond look crossing his face.

“So Laura’s spark went to you then.”

“Eventually.”

If Carlos was confused at that, he didn’t show it. Instead, he just smiled and let go of Derek’s shoulder. “You take care of yourself out there, Hale. And take care of your pack.”

Derek nodded once before moving away again. Stiles hesitated for a moment before following. The door closed behind them, cutting off the sounds of the bar and welcoming the night air. Stiles glanced over at Derek but the man didn’t say a word, eyes fixed on the end of the alleyway.

“Derek—”

“Let’s circle back to the dorms.”

Stiles clenched his jaw but followed. They only made it to the where the alley met the sidewalk, though, before Derek was yanking him back again and then shoving him against the wall.

Stiles squeaked and Derek clapped a hand over his mouth, eyes turning red. Going stock-still, Stiles didn’t move as the man slowly turned his head and the sound of voices filtered through the night.

Stiles recognized them from earlier. The hunters.

He swallowed hard as Derek pulled his hand back a couple of inches.

“Derek.”

Derek looked back at him and Stiles swallowed hard. For a moment, with the faint voices in the air and Derek pressed up against him, it was all Stiles could do to try and not let his heart skip more than one beat. But he must have failed because Derek’s eyes sparked again.

Nervously, Stiles wet his lips. Derek’s gaze dropped straight down.

Then the voices got closer.

Derek glanced over his shoulder once more and then cursed, turning back forward. Before Stiles could say a word, the man was pinning him to the wall and— and Stiles’s brain short-circuited from there.

Because suddenly, Derek’s lips were on his own. The man was kissing him. Stiles startled and then melted into it. Derek’s hands came up to cup his face and Stiles whined at the back of his throat, turning his chin up a little more.

When Derek growled, the sound vibrated straight down Stiles’s spine. Gentle lips moved down his neck, Derek’s nose brushing past the top of his sweatshirt, and Stiles couldn’t help whatever kind of noise that left his mouth. Then the man’s teeth skated back up Stiles’s neck, lips brushing over the shell of his ear before pressing against Stiles’s own again, and he was pretty sure he was about to collapse.

He didn’t even hear the voices of the hunters anymore. His heart was definitely not beating right.

But then suddenly, Derek was pulling back. Stiles blinked a few times, feeling a little dazed, and then moved forward again, trying to catch the man’s lips once more. But Derek turned his face away.

“They’re gone. Walked straight past.”

And it was like Stiles had been doused in cold water.

His face turned bright red and he moved back to fast, he slammed right back into the wall. Derek gave him a startled look but Stiles just stared at him in surprise. Then anger.

“Seriously, Derek?”

“What.”

“What the hell was that!”

“A distraction.”

Stiles stiffened. He stared at Derek for a long moment and then tried to shove past, but Derek’s caught his arm. Stiles started to whirl around, a dozen curses forming on his tongue, but then Derek flashed his eyes.

“They could still be close by.”

“So what, are we just going to squat in this alleyway for the rest of the night?”

Derek clamped his mouth closed, the red fading from his eyes. Stiles shoved him back, yanking his arm away.

“Next time, don’t use me as a distraction, Derek.”

The man’s brows furrowed. “What?”

Stiles glared at him for a long moment. Then he raised his jaw and stepped closer. “Kiss me again.”

“Stiles—”

“I told you earlier to start listening to the token human more often,” Stiles said, his heart thudding against his chest. But dammit, this night was supposed to have had turned out differently. Once upon a time, literally less than a few hours ago, Stiles had a plan.

One that totally didn’t involve wooing Derek Hale. Or maybe it did. Maybe it did and then hunters had come along and ruined everything.

“I was going to kiss you first tonight, Derek,” Stiles said. “And not as a damn distraction.”

The man’s eyes flickered. He looked terrified.

“So this,” Stiles said. “Is a worthwhile situation. The hunters could still be out there. I had all the moves planned. None of it involved dark alleyways or possible knifings, but—”

And Derek was moving again. Pushing him back against the alleyway wall and shutting Stiles up the best way possible. Stiles closed his eyes, carding his hand through the man’s hair.

And Stiles well… Stiles had a plan. This was most certainly not it.

But he blamed the hunters, Derek Hale’s stubbornness, and if it got Stiles a make-out session in a dark alleyway, he was so going for it. Derek pulled back for a moment, taking a growling breath, and Stiles grinned.

“Oh my god, I’ve got so many good bartender jokes, you don’t even know—”

Derek just rolled his eyes and kissed him again. Stiles grinned around his lips, more than a little content. Because yeah, this wasn’t to plan. But he was okay with it.

Very okay.

Tyreen Calypso x reader (”You’re mine.”)

Request: Tyreen/reader with prompt #91 (“You’re mine. I don’t share.”). Female or gender-neutral reader, if you don’t mind! <3 Looking forward to reading whatever you put out next.

Fandom: Borderlands

Genre: Fluff

Linktree

~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Calypso twins were taking the day off, at least from tormenting the vault hunters and bothering them over the echo anyway. With both Tyreen and Troy lounging on their thrones that their followers were kind enough to make for them, but something was missing…

Tyreen was missing something; her toy, (y/n). Though, to her, they were so much more than just a simple toy. Tyreen tapped her nails on the armrest of her throne restlessly, impatient. She needed to know where her lover was right at the moment.

Where?

The light tapping of footsteps approaching caused both of the twins to look up from their screens and to (y/n), who was currently wearing her comfiest clothes; a cute set of overalls, as they walked into the room, toward the twins.

Tyreen's eyes lit up at the sight of them, cute and comfortable. Only Troy knew how much she truly liked her pet. Nobody else in the cult could ever know.

It would be far too dangerous.

With a quick hand, Troy grabbed one of (y/n)’s hands as they tried to pass by to get to Tyreen. His eyes raked over their form hungrily. Tyreen didn’t like this. Troy knew that Tyreen didn’t share, especially not (y/n).

“Well don’t you look comfortable, and you make it look amazing,” Troy flirted.

Tyreen could feel a growl tipping at the back of her throat, her nails dug into the arms of the chair. She watched with angry eyes as Troy wrapped an arm around their waist to pull them close to his center. He didn’t have a particular reason to actually be so grabby with (y/n), other than to watch how pissed off he could get his sister before she snapped. Bothering her was one of his favorite pastimes.

“Yeah, it got hot, and I can actually fit my pistol in this,” (y/n) explained.

Troy obviously wasn’t listening to the soft ramble spilling from (y/n)’s lips, Tyreen was, but she couldn’t break the harsh stare of her brother. She couldn’t lose this.

As Troy was about to say something else, probably flirting and a little demanding, when Tyreen finally cut in, “Troy, you shouldn’t touch things that aren’t yours.” Troy only rolled his eyes but let go of Tyreen’s pet. With a small gesture of her hand, she spoke again, “Come sit on my lap, darling.”

Without a second thought, (y/n) walked out of Troy’s bubble and walked to Tyreen and carefully perched themself on her lap.

Tyreen still had a harsh glare fixated on her brother when (y/n) leaned in close to whisper, “Why are you so upset with him touching me?”

Without looking at them, Tyreen wrapped an arm around their waist to pull them closer to whisper a sentence of her own, “You’re mine. I don’t share. Simple as that. And he needs to learn his lesson.”

She didn’t explain what she meant, not with many words of course. Slowly, she started places small kisses along (y/n)’s neck, noting what places felt better than others; all while locking eyes with Troy.

He needed to learn that she didn’t share.

Ever.

so i’d really like to finish my guardian takedown lore analysis, but honestly the game isn’t really fun to play at the moment anymore (even with the health debuffs they added) so I think im going to be taking a break for now because I’m just not having fun anymore.

this game has a lotta mechanical problems i think need to be addressed so im gonna summarize it as bullet points below. I’ll play the new dlc when it drops, but idk if i’ll be on more than that (grinding, end-game stuff) until they make some serious changes. I’ve been playing (near) daily since launch, followed the patch/hotfix notes every single week, and my patience has finally, FINALLY run dry, especially with that really disappointing Phase 1 Patch and then the hotfix this week not adding anything else. What is the balancing team doing??? 😩

tl;dr: FIX THE VAULT HUNTERS!!!!

anyway. That’s all I needed to get outta my system. I might log on to this blog every now and again to post some random shit that pops into my head (probably with regards to my AU), but I’m not going to be actively playing and posting for the time being. Goodbye (for now), and here’s hoping the new DLC is good!!

guardian takedown only problems:

there’s a lot of waiting around, and sometimes it’s not explicitly stated that you’re waiting for something, so you’ll be lost on what to do next (not sure if that’s a dialogue glitch or not)

the crystal charge insta-death is bull. just. what the hell. at least make it so you just have to start over. killing ur players for failing a “puzzle” that they then have to fight all the way back to is so infuriating.

dying because you fell off a platforming puzzle is also bull.

i remember playing the first DMC on my playstation in middle school and having a conniption over the part in the observatory(? it’s been a hot minute since I played DMC 1) with the disappearing/invisible platforms. I h a t e jumping puzzles. why are they in a section of the game where death is semi-permanent and a detriment to your teammates. i tried the takedown 2x with friends and both times one friend didn’t make the first big jump to the temple and had to wait for our inevitable deaths. that’s so unfair to them.

there’s absolutely no reason for a boss to have 12 fuckin immunity phases. 4 per health bar with 3 health bars? Who the fuck designed this? *pumps shotgun* i just wanna talk.

i appreciate a tasteful immunity phase every now and again (the ones in the Valkyrie fight are actually p reasonable), but christ. that is overkill. I don’t mind the main boss fight, since u can end those early through certain actions, but jesus. the mid-boss fight is annoying as hell. you spend more time running from the immunity phases and finding the damn boss than u do actually shooting it.

drop rates are crap, which I guess should be expected given what happened with the Maliwan Takedown and the handful of months it took for them to fix that, but also you think they’d have learned.

in the maliwan takedown there’s a sense of progression thru the facility after you kill each area’s batch of enemies, but in this one it’s... dampened by the crystal charging sequences. you kill all the enemies in an area, press a button, and now you have to kill 3x that number of enemies in the same area, expect you’re just standing there motionless. It’s not fun.

the crystal charging stuff is just not fun in general. standing in a square is not entertaining. it’s worse that it was clearly designed for 3+ players when a majority of people play/grind solo

i gotta admit the boss fights just aren’t as fun as the Maliwan Takedown fights overall. I felt like a real badass fighting Wotan for the first time, but the main boss for this Takedown is kind of a bitch. Wotan’s fight is chaos, there’s so much shit happening at once and you don’t really have time to process everything and I love it. This one is p meh...

This would be fine and I’d 100% not care that much if there weren’t all these OTHER problems

General Issues with the Game

There’s no endgame stuff to play outside of the takedowns.

I assume they’re working on the first raid given some stuff I found in the Guardian Takedown files, but I really wish they’d keep the seasonal events/areas. They give us the option to disable/enable them while they’re ‘active’, just give us the ability to do it whenever we want.

when i hop on i either run through Athenas (my favorite map), or farm a boss or two. I have all the loot i really need from the maliwan takedown/elsewhere, and the guardian takedown just... isn’t fun atm, so i have nothing to do.

I’ve reset my playthru multiple times to play the main story at m10, but u can only play it (and the dlc) so many times

Mayhem levels and modifiers are a hot m e s s

a majority of the modifiers just aren’t fun to play with

they incorporated like 2-3 fun modifiers (from the community), then added a bunch that straight-up aren’t. I’m fine with the game being more difficult, but at least give us modifiers that make it more entertaining to play at a higher level instead of more annoying. I like the ones that have trade-offs or add new ‘enemies’, but I hate the ones that just straight up reduce your damage output.

a majority of the weapons with the mayhem 10 anointment (scaling) do not work on mayhem 10 (we’ll go more in-depth with this later)

Player Characters (Vault Hunters!!!) are also a hot mess and a lot of problems plaguing them haven’t been fixed SINCE LAUNCH

theyre literally the basis of the game and its balance. why havent you guys fixed them yet. stop adding new content until they’re fixed. no new skill trees until the base 3 trees work ON EVERY CHARACTER.

seriously. Why is amara p much limited to using Phasegrasp. Why does Iron Bear not matter to Moze except to proc anointments. MAKE ALL ACTION SKILLS EQUAL AND HAVE HEFT.

i wrote an essay here about it bc i feel that strongly about this

SERIOUSLY FIXING UR VAULT HUNTERS WILL MAKE BALANCING SO MUCH EASIER PLEASE IM BEGGING YOU THEY ARE THE BASE OF UR BALANCING WOES

ZANE IS STILL UNUSABLE WITHOUT THE SEEIN’ DEAD CLASS MOD!!!!!!!!!!!

MOZE IS SCREWED BC HER DAMAGE IS TOO RELIANT ON ASE ANOINTMENTS!!

AMARA DOESN’T HAVE A FUCKING MELEE BUILD AS THE ADVERTISED MELEE CHARACTER???

FL4K’S HEADCOUNT SKILL IS S T I L L BROKEN EVER SINCE THE RELEASE OF THE MALIWAN TAKEDOWN

ARE YOU GUYS LISTENING TO THE COMMUNITY *PLEASEEEEEEE*

BUFF AND FIX THE GODDAMN VAULT HUNTERS

Anointments were a mistake. Damage end-game is wayyyy too reliant on them

anoints should have a maximum of, like, a 20% damage bonus. the damage necessary to kill enemies *should be coming from the VHs themselves*. i don’t care if you have to revamp every single Vault Hunter’s skill trees and buff them all by 9000%. THEY DESERVE IT AT THIS POINT

at the moment in m10 there really isn’t much build diversity *even between Vault Hunters*. We’re all using the same 5 guns (OPQ System. Kaoson. idk. fuckin brainstormer? is that still a thing? jesus fuck) with the same 3 anointments (100% on ASE, cryo while SNTL, and 300% while 90%).

you want to diversify builds like you said during the gameplay reveal???? you want our choice in Vault Hunter to actually fuckin matter???? FIX THEM!!!! THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO DEAL DAMAGE WITHOUT STUPID POWERFUL LEGENDARIES AND ANOINTMENTS!!!

Anoints also shouldn’t be common. At all. They should be, like, Pearl rarity. To let that happen, their damage needs to be tuned way the fuck down (again, 20ish % bonus MAX) and ALL ANOINTS NEED TO BE USEFUL IN SOME WAY

NOBODY IS GOING TO USE THE AIRBORNE OR SLIDING ANOINTMENTS JUST REMOVE THEM ALREADY AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

obviously these changes can’t happen because they fucked up and buckled down with everything being anointed in m10, but still

imagine a world where the VHs actually did damage on their own without anointments and the damage buff from them was just an incentive to grind for the 100% perfect weapon and NOT A REQUIREMENT TO DEAL DAMAGE

>:(

A majority of gear is borderline worthless at M10

I’m fine with the difficulty of M10, i should let it be known. The enemy health isn’t really the problem IF ALL GUNS ACTED THE SAME AS THE OPQ SYSTEM

ffs.

you know, if you fixed ur vault hunters so they all did damage with just purple weapons (abt the same damage as legendaries w/o special effects) and removed the anointment requirement from late-game play, balancing your guns would be sooo much easier. you know. just saying.

right now only 10% (im being generous) of guns in the game are viable. 90% are worthless. We need AT LEAST 60-70% viable at M10. WHERE IS MY BUILD DIVERSITY. WHY ARE ALL LEGENDARIES NOW JUST “HEY THIS GUN IS STRONGER THAN THE LAST 4 WE RELEASED. HAVE FUN”

how to fix this problem? do as above: BUFF YOUR PLAYER CHARACTERS. MAKE ANOINTMENTS LESS STRONG.

then, at least the 10% already strong weapons would be stupid strong and OP as fuck, BUT AT LEAST WE COULD HAVE BUILD VARIETY!!! I don’t care if other people are dummy strong one-shotting everything in sight. I don’t! so long as they don’t play with me, I couldn’t care less!!! I want to be able to play with the unique, interesting legendaries. instead of the OPQ System. which, by the way, I dislike compared to the normal Q-System. let me use the frozen heart shield and the infiltrator mod. I don’t wanna be chained to the Seein’ Dead anymore :(

honestly at this point im starting to think removing slag was a mistake bc then at least we could use guns that aren’t solely damage-based guns. you know how fucked up you’ve got me that im thinking maybe slag wouldn’t be so bad this time around??? YOU GOT ME FUCKED UP B A D.

FIX THE GAME

IM TAKING A BREAK

MAYBE I’LL BE LESS UPSET WHEN I COME BACK FOR THE DLC BUT HOT. DIGGITY. SHIT.

#borderlands #bl3 #whelp #i needed to get that out #still frustrated...#just... fix the game #please #its so disheartening to see this STILL going on #like i know bl2 had the same problems #with the balancing #remember when they nerfed zer0 and buffed salvador?#but like christ at least they were messing with the vault hunters #now they're trying to brush their problems under the rug and it's really sad to watch #you would think they'd have learned from bl2

Agents of Shield Rewatch 3x08 Many Heads, One Tail

A lecture about an octopus is a fun way to start an episode

Ward is looking for some vault blah blah

May is hurting my heart

Fitz is also hurting my heart

STOP HURTING MY HEART SHOW

This awkwardness between Daisy and Lincoln is kind of adorable though

At least someone is kind of happy

Weird that Phil is saying he doesn’t trust Rosalind but he trusted her enough to get naked with her

Idk that seems like a lot of trust to me

Poor Mack brought up legit concerns but also he looks like he doesn’t want to get involved in any of Coulson’s shenanigans hahaha

This guy was Robby on New Girl and he’ll forever be Jess’s boyfriend/distant cousin to me

Hunter is KILLING me

Yeah, Rosalind and Phil are really weird I don’t get it at all

Poor Jemma is learning that nothing is as easy as it seems (and this situation was amazing complicated as it is)

Ugh Ward

That’s all I have to say about that

I do feel for Jemma here. She obviously knows she has feelings for Will and wants to go back for him, but really it’s more out of obligation and anything. Being back here with Fitz she’s having all the feelings for him she was having before, and while she still needs to save Will she also wants to keep feeling this love and attraction to Fitz. It’s a complicated situation that COULD HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY AVOIDED BY BETTER WRITING THANKS.

So Phil studied history, that’s very interesting

Super Hacker Hunter is my favorite Hunter haaaaaaahaha

“We’re cursed” ayaya I’m starting to believe this is true

That hesitation when Fitz asked Jemma if she loves Will should have been an indication to both of them. I have a feeling if she was asked if she loved Fitz the answer would have been immediate.

FINALLY I GET TO ADD TO MY FITZSIMMONS KISS COUNT

But let’s talk about this for a sec (you knew you weren’t getting out of here without a discussion of this)

Once again, Fitz is giving Jemma every out he can. He’s offering up every reason why Will is “better” than him and allowing Jemma a chance to just say she’s in love with Will let’s move on. But she doesn’t. She immediately counters with what makes Fitz so great- that he stopped at nothing and dove through an actual HOLE IN THE UNIVERSE to get to her. She knows what an amazing expression of love this is and wants to reciprocate but everything is so confusing.

And what is Fitz’s response? He can’t take it anymore. Everything he feels comes out and he kisses her. Amazingly despite it’s extreme passion, it’s a really chaste kiss. He’s not demanding anything of her. And he jumps back almost as quickly as he jumped forward to kiss her. It’s all just to much for him.

Jemma’s response is probably better than anything Fitz could have hoped for. She kisses him back, giving the softest and most loving kiss.You can see him respond by wrapping his arms around her and luxuriating in it all until he remembers what the situation actually is. I almost think either he or Jemma (or both) were going to go back for another kiss, but Fitz “rights” it all (in his mind at least) by just saying that they’re cursed and leaving.

Ugh Malick. And Andrew isn’t Inhuman Jello salad yet.

Of course the ATCU is not on the up and up

They are making Inhumans?? OH NO

Awww Momma May feels bad for what has happened we don’t deserve this queen

I actually feel bad for Rosalind here. She didn’t really know what she was involved in. She seems genuinely shellshocked.

It’s the host of Iron Chef America!

Sad that he’s evil though

There’s another space rock! Gasp!

Haaaaaaaaaaahahaha even Ward thinks this is bunk

Interesting that they know that Fitz brought Simmons back

Ew Ward stop talking to Andrew

This is so gross and evil to do to him

Whew, this episode is a lot. So much twisting and turning and playing with my emotions. 9/10 on the SHOCKING TWIST scale because I really did not see all that with the ATCU and Hydra and Andrew etc etc coming. This episode also rates a 10/10 on the Lance Hunter Shenanigans scale (now with bonus Bobbi looking fine in a suit!). And this episode in a standout by simultaneously rating a -10/10 and a 100/10 on the Fitzsimmons scale at the same time! What a feat.

Oh also here’s the official Fitzsimmons Kiss Count:

Cheek- 1

All Over Face- 1 (set)

Old Fashioned On the Lips With Bonus Tears and Sadness- 2

The song for this episode is “Do What You Have to Do” by Sarah McLachlan. MY HEART.
