#once again late to the game

[hellertears]

all these moments actually. so special. so so special to me.

#you dont understand i have SUCH a soft spot for late game nrmt. #like #so many years have passed and they have grown so much #and now they feel comfortable around each other and they allow themselves to express their feelings more #but also tease each other lovingly #such a married dynamic it feels so satisfying to see after everything they've been through #i miss them and need them back ASAP #ace attorney #losing my shit once again #wrightworth #narumitsu #phoenix wright #miles edgeworth

Got Mourynn's first fullbody ref done! (I mean first as in chronologically). Not much to say here, just getting some early year fullbody refs done so I can have them to start on some scenes and lore stuff (just gotta finish her Orchid outfit next since that's her main Sapling outfit before she makes her own custom one). I'm also not used to drawing this small so I messed up the face a bit, on the side there, but oh well.

Below the cut is just the line art and the transparent that I'm hoping will work properly on her Hero Panel profile on Toyhouse:

#Mourynn #Mourynn art #sylvari #sylvari OC #gw2 #gw2 OC #gw2 fan submission #the side of her face still bothers the hell out of me; I am so used to drawing on a larger scale and might have to again to avoid this #ugh it looks so awkward and bad; but oh well. Not much I can do about it now. #also I know all i've really been doing lately is refs but #i'll chip away at them slowly. I'm just really self conscious about things I guess lasjkdf #I just kinda have no choice since I can't properly make her in game klasjdf #but I wanna get to actual lore stuff soon so hopefully I can make that happen soon too #I'm also updating her other look to add the Orchid wings back onto it once I get to her custom outfit #I also wanna update that one a bit anyways (I know it'll be the 3rd time of me updating it - #- but these will be my solid refs bc I'll be using them for Toyhouse (just gotta check the sizing). I'll update that a bit later lol.

alexa play gary come home :((

#pens lb #i miss him.... #i know playing a goalie while hes hot is a thing. i know that. but whats the long-term plan here? you're going to have #ned still increasing his chances of injuries and fatigue AND a goalie who hasnt played in weeks #its unfair to ned and its setting jarry up to be a scrapgoat in important games #like im not a big fan of the bruins but theyve been doing the right thing in actually alternating their goalies every other game #so the other gets to rest while staying sharp and they're both well experienced. #jarry has 6!!!! shutouts!!!! and thats while being the goalie for the fucking pittsburgh penguins! #you KNOW he can play. you know hes good. why are you purposely setting him up to fail. #and ned has been wonderful! i was so nervous he was going to be traded after not being played for a good bit. i love my eyebrows boy and am #so happy and proud he's been having these opportunities to show how good and valuable he is to this team #but overworking him to such an extent is (once again) setting him up to fail just as much as its setting jarry up to be that scrapegoat #mike sullivan i am shaking you by the shoulders demanding to know what the fuck has been up with these lineups lately

I'm so sorry, I'm kinda drunk and dropping another idea, do with it whatever ye will.

Yknow how in the beginning of the game, Sojiro tells Ren he won't take care of him when he gets sick?

Consider: he's not used to city germs/being that closely shoved against other people on the train. He DOES start to get sick around Kamoshida's Palace, powers through it, and then is SUPER sick just after it's over.

He plans on sucking it up and hiding it, but Futaba hears his hacking coughs over her bug even when he's upstairs, followed by wheezing, maybe even a little weeping. He's constantly in and out of the bathroom, and he's starting to run out of tissues.

Futaba nervously texts Sojiro that the kid they took in sounds awful. Sojiro is gruff at first and says he's not a baby, he can take care of himself. She responds by sending him the audio and suddenly Dad Instincts kick in

y/n

obviously it's a YES, our brainrots continue because early-game ren and sojiro dynamics break my heart every time how dare you get me so invested in this idea, this post got too long so it's going under a read more

listen listen look i love sojiro and the coffee family okay, but early-game?? sojiro could catch these hands

ren has already been though so much by the time he arrives in tokyo, to then be put into a dusty old attic like a spare part would absolutely fit in with ren's own perception of himself at that stage. it would be almost too easy for him to put his own health on the backburner kinda like he's already used to it

very used to not taking up space, 'not being a bother', and then sojiro really reinforces this message when ren first gets to leblanc- so when ren inevitably gets ill a month into his probation, it's already doomed for maladaption

tokyo would be such a breeding ground for sickness compared to the countryside, and ren just doesn't have the consitution to deal with it. the dusty attic and poor eating habits don't help matters, and then we have the stress of kamoshida and the metaverse?? ren is not having a Good Time™

at first it's something he thinks he can shrug off, and is adamant that ignoring it is the way to go. a cold, it's nothing, he can handle this alone, no need to bother anyone else with it.

inevitably, he gets worse, because that's what happens when you don't rest and let yourself recover. a tickly cough becomes a tightness in his chest, mild congestion shifts into an attack on his senses and blurriness- but maybe that's the dizziness. he's not really sleeping, either.

it's something that's becoming increasingly difficult to brush off and hide, he even relented to finally getting some medicine (nothing as strong as he needs by this point, that would eat too much into his limited funds, but some painkillers to take the edge off). once or twice he's tempted to stay off school, at morgana's insistence, or a too close call where he definitely blacked out for a minute, but then sojiro's voice will ring in his head 'i won't be the one looking after you if you get sick', 'your parents got rid of you for being a pain in the ass', and all his worst insecurities come rushing back and he's resolved to deal with it on his own

meanwhile, futaba's been making use of her hidden audio bugs- normally they're a comfort for her in the daytime, but since the new kid- ren- has been staying at the cafe (part-timer her ass, how gullible does sojiro think she is?!), she's been listening more frequently. when ren gets sick, she figures it out quickly.

time goes on, he's not getting better- he's actually getting worse- and futaba starts to wonder if she's the only one who knows

(there's something in his sharp contrasts- the quiet kid who shuffles through the cafe and takes sojiro's scolding, to the coughing kid who cries into the silence of night when he thinks there's nobody there to see it- that stabs through her numbness. it feels like a companion to her own ghost)

one night she swears the kid gets up to be sick, and there's hardly any sound heard from the attic all night. if nobody's gonna help ren, then she will (futaba used to like helping, once upon a time).

she texts sojiro the next day, when ren doesn't say anything again, and goes off to school with what she bets is a fake assurance on his face

and you're so right, sojiro dismisses her concern really easily, claims the kid can 'take care of himself' and he won't 'baby' the part-timer. insists ren needs to learn some disipline, then maybe he'll stay out of trouble

frustration wells in futaba- if she was less fixated on what was going on with ren, she'd register it's one of the first changes of mood she's had for months- and she responds with nothing but an audio clip, an attached explanation that this is just from the past few days- it's been going on for weeks, then she waits, and hears the distant sound of her compilation through one of the bugs, a hitched breath from sojiro, curse words under his breath-

for all his earlier postulating about not helping ren if he gets sick, sojiro is immeditely struck with a pang of concern- it sounded bad, and if futaba's words were anything to go by, this had been going on for a while. the kid's at school now (at school, being as ill as that and he was still going to class-), so sojiro will talk to him when he gets back. there's a chance he goes a bit too over the top, between the variation of medicines he purchases, supplies he grabbed from home- if you accused him for over-compensating after maybe being too harsh on the kid in the beginning, you'd be right

and you just know ren would be so resistent at first to help, or even just the offer of staying off school. in his sickness-induced fugue, ren's filter-less in rattling off how he can't stay off, what will the students and teachers think, and he has work that afternoon, and a test soon, and he doesn't want to get in the way-

sojiro's heart just shatters

this kid, whose been silently carring the weight of the world and has apparently been falling to pieces for weeks now and sojiro didn't even notice?

(a part of it reminds him too much of the other kid he's got at home, the countless ways he's already failed futaba, and now ren too? he feels useless)

sojiro focuses on what he can do, and that's making the kid rest. work will understand, school can wait, ren isn't an inconvenience, he guides the kid to bed, calls takemi immediately (who rushes over, despite the fact she's technically closed at this hour, and refuses to take any payment),

even still, there's this stilted awkwardness between them when the quiet pushes on too long- they hardly know each other, afterall. sojiro is still figuring out the 'caring for kids' thing, and ren isn't familiar with any kind of parental affection, so some of sojiro's care veers a bit too close to clinical or mechanic, and ren still struggles to communicate what kind of help he needs, but it's enough for now.

for now, sojiro is there. he's trying, and at least ren's getting some colour back on his skin. for now, ren's willing to take a few days off and have some medicine, but he's over-apologetic and definitely tries to make up for his sickness once he's healed. it's gonna take them both a while yet, but luckily there's always their guardian hacker, ready and able to call them out when needed (and maybe some day she'll be able to keep an eye on ren and sojiro in person)

#ask #also the idea of it being futaba who first realises going on?? developing hers and ren's bond before they even meet?? #june i love your brain have i ever mentioned #such a gem even when it h u r t s (which is obviously only ever ALWAYS <3) #us : *sees angsty p5 game content* it's free real estate! #i want ren to have a HUG and REASSURANCE and also a bowl of soup #instead he gets dusty attic and milk-crate bed and instant noodles he packed for emergencies :c #persona 5 #p5 #persona 5 headcanons #ren amamiya #futaba sakura #sojiro sakura #oh also also!! imagine how sojiro might feel about his early-game behaviour by late-game/post-canon?? #ohhh i bet he'd hate it and there'd be so much self-blame/loathing there #parent guilt and all that good stuff y'know #futaba? seeing herself in early-game ren? ren? seeing himself in palace-futaba? sorry they make me soft and emotional your honour #i love my coffee family but i love it more flavoured with all the issues they haven't yet worked through #once again THIS WASNT MEANT TO BE SO LONG

[waywardstation]

with the anon talking about angry ingo, i assume when ingo caught wind akari was banished. i can see all hell broke loose specially ingo charging at clan galaxy leader

In regards to this ask

I’ve thought on this scenario and I can see what you’re saying anon! A lot of people go this route, but I like to think that perhaps in that situation he’d be more concerned over Akari’s safety out in the wilderness than going and attacking Kamado — at least if he did get involved at all.

Personally the only thing I can see causing him to get like this is if he got the chance to personally confront the thing that pulled him to Hisui.

So many theories — Arceus themselves, Giratina at Volo’s command to open rifts, an Ultra Beast through an Ultra Wormhole — I think each one would bring some level of anger to it, either at the situation or the entity that did it.

He was pulled right out of his life and lost everything dear to him against his will (I’m assuming), and was just left adrift in a murky haze. And then to possibly find out whatever did it doesn’t even care or know they stripped him of everything? Maybe he’d be more angry at the situation he’s found himself in rather than the entity that caused it at that point. I don’t know, I’d have to think about it more. ^^

#wayward’s asks #OK GENERAL DISCLAIMER #because I’ve seen like #MULTIPLE people posting lately about how #the mischaracterization of Ingo getting involved in the player’s banishment annoys them #I am FULLY aware that Ingo does nothing in canon and have no problem with that because considering everything why would he be the outlier #volo made much more sense #but in MY ‘canon’ that my stories have built up where Ingo and Akari have a much more developed connection than anything you’d ever get out #of the game #I think that it would naturally incite a little more involvement with all of this #I definitely think it’d be more indirect than direct #ingo cares about the safety of passengers #he’s going to care more about Akari’s safety than beating up Kamado #but again on safety I think he’d also definitely not want to spark Kamado’s threat on war at the act of helping her #I think it would torment Ingo for a while before he’d do anything about it #I wrote about this once and I think I should rewrite it #because I’d probably write it a little differently this time

Mmmmm, Rajbow?

-Staci Anon

i definitely ship it!!! also hi staci anon

What made you ship it?

it's weird to say this feels like a first when it comes to total drama, but the writing. because the writing was genuinely good. it was really sweet to see raj figuring out that he liked bowie and bowie trying to be a strong competitor while still making time for some romance. though it happened in a short period of time, it didn't feel forced or imbalanced. they had chemistry, they had communication, and they were really freaking cute!!

What are your favorite things about the ship?

kind of what i said before, but they're just really healthy. i don't doubt that the writers knew there would be a LOT more scrutiny on this ship than any other canon ship because it's the first gay one and so my guess is that they tried to make it as good as possible (because you're already gonna have homophobes mad about a gay ship, might as well make sure the queer ppl aren't also mad at you for poor rep). any time in the season i thought there might be drama between them or that their relationship wouldn't end well i was immediately corrected. i do want them to have relevance in some kind of plot in the next season so they're not just pushed to the side/boring but for once i might actually have faith that the writers are able to incorporate them without ruining their relationship

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

i feel like it's a bit hard to gauge the popular vs unpopular opinions atm, but i do want to say that i don't see raj as some blushing "damsel". like did he get flustered around bowie? yes, absolutely. mostly when bowie was directly flirting with him and he was figuring out his sexuality. but that's not raj all the time and i fear the fandom might fall into that dynamic of making him out to be helpless or shy just because he was nervous entering into a relationship. because raj took the initiative!! he was the one who kissed bowie and he was the one who started a conversation about what that meant for them!! he may not be as confident as bowie in his sexuality and he's certainly a supportive boyfriend that can get flustered but he's not a pushover. if we get to see him get more comfortable/used to being openly gay with a boyfriend in the next season i hope that confident side of him will be even more apparent because it is there

#td spoilers #im trying so hard to articulate that last point but it is once again late and im tired #so i have no idea if what im saying makes sense #rajbow #ask game #ask

me: I am going to write a little fanfic out of this dream I had with funny little robot guys.

me, but 19k words later: girl help I am exploring themes of disability, chronic pain, ableism, subculture, systemic oppression, PTSD, aging, neurodivergence, community, forgiveness, healing, and recovery. with funny little robot guys.

#Tumblr ate this post once already and killed the tags but #I am beginning some kind of descent into Mega Man X But Serious hell and honestly? amazing hell. 11/10 would descend again #someday you're all going to blink and I'm going to just be a MMX fan account (this won't actually happen) #(but imagine if it did happen) #also I've come full circle on my teenager hobbies. listen to Linkin Park and write fanfic and make a game? incredible shit. #past me knew what's good. I am out here living my best life lately. #this story is turning out really satisfying so far though I may have to actually post it somewhere when it's finished #that won't actually be a first. there is a single Zelda fic I wrote out in the world under a pseudonym #but it will be the first in over twenty years #...I may be old.

real live clam reaction to ratau letter . for those unaware sometimes i record when i play games jus to check back and see if i missed something.and of course when i played today i saw ratau's letter for the first time so. the agonies

#implied kallamar #<- using that tag again because it's funny and relevant. i promise. #i have a few recordings of me playing lamb game but i only started doing so late for this game once the fixation was truly hitting #when i started caring a lot more about lore and realized the wiki is not totally complete dghKJHSG #anyway. woe. clam voice be upon ye #clamtalk

[hecksupremechips]

Minor thing that really irks me is when people treat the femc route in p3 portable as like the lesser story or like it’s a fanfic where nothing that happens in it is the “true” canon like. Bitch. The femc and everything that happens in her version of the story is just as canon as the male protagonist and everything that happens in his story. And there’s literally been so many fucking versions of p3 at this point like the base game, fes, portable, the movies, stage plays, reload, as well as spinoffs and manga and they all do things differently. I don’t see anyone acting like the base game is more canon than, say, reload so why do they do this with portable? Why can’t the (infinitely superior) version with the female protagonist just be respected for five fucking minutes goddamn

#persona #persona 3 #kotone shiomi #its the misogyny yay #but god i am so tired of her game being treated as not actually canon like it literally is #theres multiple canons dipshit there is no true version of this game #and also people saying she doesnt fit the theme or some shit like. she literally does??? and honestly she does it better #like you can really feel the love she brings to the group and how she gives everything life and helps everyone #but also just how it all comes with pain she smiles and befriends everyone but shes always been so deeply alone and she doesnt want anyone #to feel the pain shes felt and so she carries all those burdens on her own and when everyone goes to reach out for her #its too late far too late shed sacrifice herself over and over for these people and theyll never once see her cry #she also you know. actually has good social links and gets to know everyone not just people she wants fuck #so you get to see just infinitely better versions of every character with her she really does bring out the best in them #and another thing in particular with the disrespect of her story is the way shinji living is treated again just like #some kinda fanfic au by someone who didnt wanna cope with their blorbo dying like ughh #shinji surviving is just as canon as him dying there is an entire canon where he gets a happy ending and it is once again #much better than versions where he dies like ive. exhausted myself with explaining it but its just better #so yeah basically out of spite i like acting like kotones story is actually the one true canon #and when people mention stuff that isnt in her story im like ‘huh? what? that didnt happen’ #cuz whos gonna stop me

finally finished disco elysium yaaaaay

#i love when i actually finish video games i like instead of arbitrarily dropping them at the climax & never picking them up again <3 #anyway it was really good but as my brother pointed out. it is kinda weird to introduce the killer so late in a murder mystery #like surprise! it was this guy who hadn't even been mentioned until you stumble across him in the last hour or two of gameplay #bit of an odd choice given the genre but i'll forgive it bc it was overall oustoundingly well written #i can't say there was no foreshadowing as to who the killer really was beforehand but it still kinda came out of left field #like garte really didn't notice this weird old man slinking into his kitchen & crawling around inside the walls of his hotel even once. okay #loved that the cryptid was real tho. best part of the climax frankly. i knew i was right to keep running around cryptid hunting #who's laughing now kim #animal.txt #disco elysium #disco elysium spoilers
