so. there's pokemon game called infinite fusions. and a couple of the poketubers i like are doing a soul link of it.

and this pokemon shows up - a fusion of of gengar and latios - and it looks like this:

and i think, squinting at that bandana, that's kokichi.

but no, no, that's surely not a danganronpa reference, definitely not.

and then i found the page with all of this artist's other fusion designs for the game.

and i saw this:

and i was like, okay, cool, that's blatantly kyubey but madoka and danganronpa, that's not the same, that's not a confirmation of anything.

this one is:

HI MONOKUMA.

#musings #bandit liveblogs #bandit liveblogs pokemon #bandit liveblogs danganronpa #i want to update the game and see if it'll run better because it took SO LONG to load ANYTHING when i tried to play infinite fusions before #also y'all should check out their other designs because WOW they are COOL

[Image Description: a set of five edited bug fables screenshots from the pre-battle zommoth encounter. The first is the same as in-game, Kabbu saying "W-What is that!? Something's coming!" The second is of zommoth appearing on screen with its sprite edited to be various shades of pink and yellow, wings the same pattern as Leif's (but still with the purple blight magic stuff in the chest area.) The next three images have the sprite edited in the same way.. The third image is of Leif's saying "...Wh, Rkejrm-m-Muse!? Kjdrira, mebsrgr...!!!" The next is Kabbu saying "Muse!? Leif, that's..." The final is Vi saying "T-That doesn't make any sense!" End ID]

I thought about one of my fucked up and evil au ideas for five minutes again, so I decided to spend like fifty hours making a thing about it. Basically what if Muse went back into Snakemouth later to try to rescue Leif or at least bring back his body and got caught by the roaches.

Putting just the edited sprites under the cut if you wanna see those without the lab mood lighting:

#bug fables #bug fables spoilers #muse bug fables #or as I've been saving my files for this as:#Zommuse #:3 #Leif bug fables #despite taking a super long time (not actually fifty hours but it felt like it) this was fun!#I am so much more comfortable with writing than visual art stuff but since I don't have any specific thoughts on the scenario #past this moment this is a way easier way to get my thought across in slightly more description than my one paragraph up there #eyedropped all the colors off Muze and Grandpa's sprites and then played with them a bit to make them go together nicer #part of the length was me figuring out how to do stuff and part of it was because I had to stitch some stuff together inconveniently #as I said earlier: aa spoiled me. what with having all the game assets and backgrounds either conveniently already extracted #or at least mechanically very easy to get myself because it's all just pixels and all the bits are on different layers!#(also storywise I usually tend to go with giving muse fire magic when I'm thinking things. but keeping the blight was easier shorthand.#and also all those times she's more on leif's end of the cordyceps spectrum. mind more there. so.)

there's a bit of something like hope in watching a jet stream crawl across the dimming sky

a bit like a shooting star that's decided to be kinder to the people who can't to come up with a wish in the millisecond it flashes across the night

or one that's said, "let's slow down and admire the view," like it has nowhere better to be

#musings #sfsolstice #a bit of a rare sight for me #i couldnt help but think of my friends #how i hope we stay friends for a very long time #i hope we're roleplaying our d&d characters and playing games until the end of time #edit: WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME ABOUT THE TYPO ;n;

Seeing how many eyes Ludwig has in his beastly form, I really like the headcanon that he was one of the few Hunters who reached a high insight without going insane. Like, on top of trying not to be overtaken by the cursed blood, he also at some point began to see things which shouldn't exist, horrible creatures that would shatter any sane mind.

And yet, through all of this, he clung to his tiny ray of light, stayed strong for his fellow Hunters, fighting alongside them for the sake of his people. Of course, we all know how his story eventually ended, but I find it lovely that even in his final moments, Ludwig remembered fellow Hunters, and hoped their fates to be far kinder than his.

#I also wonder what his 'ray of light' was #the way he talked about it sounded like he eventually learned what it was #'I didn't want to know what it was. Really I didn't.' (proceeds to make the most wretched pained sounds imaginable)#but Ludwig wouldn't let himself succumb until the very end. until all that could be lost was long gone #I wonder if that truth is what makes Hunters go mad in the first place #perhaps the way he learned what it was also had something to do with the insight he gained?#he does refer to moonlight at the end but idk if he could've seen the Moon Presence or not #...one day I'll finish The Paleblood Hunt #...#this is all based on nothing btw #just musings on a fantastic game #(God I wish they'd port it to PC already)#(I want to play it for myself so badly)#bloodborne #ludwig the holy blade #bloodborne ludwig #bloodborne theory #ludwig the accursed

Sorry to bother you, you were just the first highly viewed upon/liked mcyt blog I follow that I found that had "proship dni" in the list. I know most people in this space are anti-proship/anti-ship. So it's ok If you can't answer, I'm just looking for one. As someone who was raised in a proship household/environment, I was taught that proship meant "someone who tolerates and does not discriminate against/harass people about any fictional ship." and that it meant the same thing as "anti-censorship" and "anti-harassment" So coming into online mcyt spaces as a minor, I see so many people being antis, it makes me confused and I would like to learn why so many if not all people are antis. I saw one user say that MAPs/paedophiles were the same as proshippers, and I was very surprised, distraught, and hurt. Would you, and anyone who sees this be able to explain to me what is wrong with proship and why it is so hated. Thank you if you can.

no.

#muse talk #anon #turning off reblogs on this bc i’m just using it as an example #i’m not playing games with you kid. i’m not doing this.#any further attempts to reach out will get blocked #i have that shit for a reason i am NOT playing games. im not discussing this shit.#it’s there for a reason. respect it or get blocked.#long post #yes i meant to add that image 10 times before anyone asks

Hey, I saw you changed your username! I just wanted to say I thought it was a lovely sounding name! /gen

Sorry for the late reply, but thank you! Very much so!!

Honestly, I expected to change my username and drop that post for anyone to see and it to be just another drop in an ocean, completely and entirely ignored. Especially since I so very rarely have posted anything myself on here, on my blog, and have gotten no attention before.

But it's pretty nice to see a few people like the post, even reply back about it. So thank you for sending a message! It's very much appreciated.

As for the username, I've just never fully felt alright with Vexchief. I liked the concept I was going for then (a mixture of Vixen and Mischief smashed together, but because I didn't like the look of Vixchief, I changed the first i to an e) but I never liked how it seemed that anger defined me via Vex. Mischief and Anger. I didn't like that.

And in real life, I've just- *A very long sigh...* A long terrible story, but my life has not been great. A hell not of mine own making that I've been stuck in my whole life, and have been trying to get myself out of no matter what. But when I try, it's never seemed enough. Not anything close to enough. And especially these last few years since Covid happened (didn't get it, just life stuff that happened around the same time), I've just been like a boat lost at sea, adrift. And if I tried to move, to leave my situation, it's only felt like I've gone in a circle, like I'm just chasing my own tail, going nowhere.

("All things that lose their way can find it again. There is no inertia in the ocean.")

Sailsunfurled is I suppose my own declaration to myself. I feel like things are truly different this time around. (Maybe? Or maybe not and I'm just delusional. But I have to think that everything before, every attempt has helped me get to this point.) So it's me saying I am letting down the sails, and I am going to journey forth, once and for all. This is it, this the attempt. I will make it work. I will get out. And I will live. And I will be okay. (Okay, it's certainly a bit delusional. But I feel like at this point I'm just a bit desperate for it to work.)

Anyway, long story short, Adrift has been stuck in my head, haunting me ever since I first heard it. And lately I've had some little obsession of a thought of a boat, a sail. (I might have delved a little into some sea shanties the other day lmao.)

#codradin #personal #i know you didn't ask but i felt like explaining so...#it's a good song. and an amazing game. i've already played through it a couple times.#the game is stray gods: the roleplaying music. kinda like a telltale game but with the premise of greek gods hidden in the modern day #and each deity has an ability. and for the main character she's a muse so singing is her Thing™#hence the premise of the game being like a musical #i really need to go back and do both my apollo playthrough as well as properly redo persephone's. i did it wrong the first time i did it.#oh god and i forgot about freddy. lmao yeah i need to get back to that game #anyway sorry for the long reply haha xD

Hey haha if you don't have your OCs information available anywhere on your page in a link or. Something. There's a high chance I won't be interacting.

Y'all gotta have at least a rundown of the OC, please. Even just one paragraph. I'm begging you. If you need bio templates, I have four that I will GLADLY give you the link to, but if you don't have ANYTHING posted where I can see about your OC, it ain't happening.

#ooc: [ off shore ]#[ i try to be open to most things but ive been in the rpc for too long to not be a little selective with this. ]#[ the amount of times Ive been approached by someone who tell me they made their OC when they saw MY muse. to ship with my muse. ]#[ we do not play those games around here. ]#[ psa. ]

@beforecreation asked: "Tell me, Arcosian. How is it that you've not taken Frieza's empire away from him? You are the older sibling, are you not? Are you afraid to challenge him for his power, or are you simply satisfied with your small piece of the galaxy that shall quickly crumble with your demise?"

Had it been anyone else, he would not have held back on his verbal retaliation for such an insulting question directed at him, dripping with a mockery inflection. He would have let the intense vitriol and loathing he felt for his little brother poison his words, decades of anger bleed into his tone as he lashed at the inquirer.

But this was not just anyone. This was Lord Beerus, the God of Destruction. The only living creature whose strength greatly exceeded his family's, forcing them to bend to his unpredictable whims, lest they face complete oblivion for their defiance. Cooler himself both admired and despised the God, desiring such an unnatural, awe-inspiring power for himself. Envy and humiliation burned through his veins as he regarded the felidae deity with a respectful, courteous bow.

One day, the Arcosian Prince thought to himself, keeping his features stoic as he lifted his head to address the God. One day, I shall obtain a power greater than Freeza, and even greater than that of the Gods themselves. Then, I shall bow to no one.

"Freeza's Empire will not last much longer, Lord Beerus," he remarked calmly, clasping his hands behind his back as he drew back to his full height. "Father may have appointed Freeza as his heir, but he completely failed to prepare my brother for the responsibilities of running an Empire. Freeza knows nothing of compromise, patience, or how a planet and it's people could bring value to his regime outside of further conquering. And that ill, impulsive temper of his does him no favors. All it has done is made him many, many enemies."

"It is only a matter of time before everything my father built for him will fall. And when that happens, once again, I will be the one to clean up his mess and restore honor to our family name."

And whether or not Cooler assisted in it's fall, well, that was something that only the Prince and his inner circle would be privy to.

#[inquiries; response]#[musings; hidden depths]#[kin; the cold clan]#[beforecreation]#[wow going right for the jugular huh Beerus]#[Cooler is capable of playing a long game when it comes to Freeza]#[biding his time as his power and own empire grows while Freeza makes mistakes]#[the way his brother governs has only harmed his empire]#[and it will eventually fall]#[and Cooler may or may not help with that fall when the time is right]

Probably destined to be a sibling. Younger or older.

#had a realization today that maki would find playing little kids games to actually kind of be okay on his mind #they're easy to comprehend and it makes them happy #literally as long as he's given an idea of what they want from him he will follow through and might find he's happy because of them #💥 status update #maki's the only muse that's responding to me since Stress Hit so here's my boy

I am going to slap myself for this later but I have… I should mention I have been pondering adding more muses. Dragon age ones. Notably either Varric, Iron Bull, or Alistair. >>;;

#i have played all three games and their dlcs #long ago but those three characters stuck with me #i wouldn’t mind trying out Fenris either or maybe another few muses from that series if nudged #BUT #YEAH NO IVE BEEN HAVING THE URGE TO REPLAY THE THIRD DA #💀#I dunno where I was going with this ramble but… yeeeee #Nothing official - not doing nothing yet #just thoughts I’m tossing out there to gauge if there’s interest or if it’s a bad idea altogether?#◆ ━━ Out of Medkits | OOC TAG.

You know idk if I'm in a rut (and not the fun type) or not but I feel sort of... Uninvested in Nightbringer lately. I mean I still do the daily tasks and still play story mode but the game doesn't grip me like S1 or OG Obey Me did... Things almost feel stale or stagnant to me where I'm just doing them cause I liked the Original and don't really care for the New App to the same degree I did when getting OG Obey Me.

I wonder if there's a way to get me reinvested because like it's sort of weird how obsessed I was with OG Obey Me and how indifferent I am to Nightbringer now. Maybe it's just cause Nightbringer's whole energy is something I'm not feeling or the game literally is just losing its flavor for me.

Or maybe I'm just feeling down... Hopefully I figure it out soon.

Maybe it's cause leveling up is more difficult or the Events and things just don't matter to me anymore. Maybe I ran my course with Obey Me? Idk...

I guess it's good for minor distraction I guess.

#obey me #obey me nightbringer #obey me musing #obey me musings #I mean S1 wasnt perfect in OG but i was entranced now playing Nightbringer I just... I read the story bits and forget it just as quickly #Not even the Events get me like has the game just ran its course or is this just me?#I feel SO bored lately like I kinda want us to go back to the future already so i can drop the game #though i get vibes they might try to keep us in the past as long as possible #which is shitty and sucks but idk the story just feels... Boring now.#Maybe I'm just feeling blue and its not becoming a hassle because of the increased Gacha feel #Like are we ever going to go into Beel and Belphegor's thing? Been waiting on that for a while #Ah... I dont know maybe I'm just hitting the wall with the game.

What's your Pokemon Crystal team, girl?

Khare can't help but jump a little as she's addressed by the stranger glancing over her shoulder down at the ancient gameboy in her hands. The sound still works, albeit much quieter now than it might have been years ago when the console was new. The game itself was still functional despite being twenty odd years old, battery juice still going strong in spite of age. "I've been playing for a while, got the 8th Gym Badge already so I'm focusing on raising their levels before taking on the Elite Four. There's Typhlosion, Lanturn, Heracross, Espeon, Skarmory and this shiny Rhydon I got not long ago. Surprisingly it's not as bad as I remember it being, huh." Their levels were easily amongst the 60's, particularly Typhlosion and Heracross. The others weren't far off and it was evident this was a game that had been played up to 70 hours now. "It's just something to tide me over until I can afford something a little more recent. Hard to believe there's over a thousand of these things now, you know?"

#anonymous #;; asks #🌈 || musings #Thank you nonny!#This was a sweet and unexpected ask!#She's been playing this game so long now lol #Crap taste in Pokemon but there's only 250 or so in this gen so options are limited
