So ik everyone refers to reader as ‘they’ out of convenience more than anything else but it’s funnier to me to think of them 1. being a gender less being and you just can’t tell and 2. one day earlier on, they had to approach Alcina and just awkwardly be like ‘so… My binder was ripped the night I came here… And I feel weird without it… Is there a chance I could have one ordered in?’ or smth
Cue Alcina just staring blankly as they try to explain what a chest binder is 😭😭 she’s supportive but probably like ‘I didn’t think you had any???’
HELP ME SDKJFHSDKJFHSDKJ
i feel like they've definitely had a conversation before where Reader explained their identity as best they could (with the girls getting it pretty quick and Alcina... struggling a bit), and on the off-chance someone says something or calls them the wrong thing (intentionally), it's a warning at first and to the cellar after that
(they want to make sure their idiot bird is happy and comfortable <3)
imagine how much they would have smiled when it came in, though 😔 more lively than they had been in recent days and easily excitable now that they feel a little better. i bet the Dimis would still think back on that day from time-to-time, just remembering the bright grin on their face as they showed off their flatter chest </3

The little owl flew back and forth across half of Higwarts until it finally spotted the teal-coloured fur of the Niffler. She landed purposefully and hooted until she had his attention.
"Hoot hoot hoooooooooooot gur hoot gurr hoot hoot"
[My owner wants to know what you want to see under the big decorated tree]
Nosy squinted his eyes, scanning the surroundings for the source of the hooting disturbance. There was only one owl who would dare... Could it really be his archenemy, that foul green sack of a...?
With a furrowed brow and a determined squeak, Nosy prepared for a showdown and turned around.
Oh. No. Wrong fowl.
Was that bird also here to brabble with Nosy? What was that owl lady hooting for? Nosy, never one to back down from a challenge, honked back in his finest Niffler dialect.
Rising on his hind paws, he puffed out his chest, determined to show this bird that his Niffler Pops didn't raise no quitter. A moment of intense hooting and honking followed.

Hello, anon who talked about monster hunter IK here.
Thanks to the teaser trailer for the next monster hunter game being revealed at the game awards and beating the "main storyline" of Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak (with the lead up to the final boss filling me with genuine shock, dread, and a bit of horror) last night, I'm now back to having monster hunter IK on the mind.
So, in monster hunter, there is a classification of monsters known as "Elder Dragons" that if I remember correctly, while many do resemble dragons, is what they classify monsters that don't really fit into any other category of monster. Many elder dragons are (at least lore-wise) able to alter entire ecosystems just by existing in them, while others are so dangerous that they need to be killed as soon as possible after they show up because they're so dangerous they could be considered world-ending.
They also are smart enough to not be caught in traps, so the only way to deal with the non world-ending ones is to hurt them enough to chase them off or kill them.
My question is, do you think this IK and Noctifer would have ever slayed an elder dragon? Would it be one of the weaker ones or one of the "kill on sight" ones? Is this something that ever comes up in conversation with any of the others?
i was thinking that the concept sounded kind of familiar and then i realised that it's actually similar to how i envision the role of the 'strange creatures' in that evolution line mock-up thing i made... ohoho what if in this au they are one and the same thing
on the one hand it'd kind of break the whole power distribution of the whole thing if ik & noctifer were to have slain one, but on the other it'd also be really funny... i mean, it goes with the whole 'video game logic' line of reasoning, since it's fairly common for game heroes to slay universe-breaking beasts either by some quirk of the plot or by sheer raw power (and it's not like we haven't had cosmos-breaking strength in an au before - take the traveller ik au for example)
i feel like they don't bring it up since it's just sorta "oh, just another day's work!" to them at this point. demons as a whole aren't super versed with their own evolutionary history, but diavolo and barbatos (and probably lucifer) would at least be somewhat familiar with it...
maybe diavolo shows them some mural of "the coming of the creatures" which depicts them shaping the devildom's mountain ranges or something similar, and ik points it out to noctifer - "hey we killed one of those guys before!"
diavolo of course is just like "what." it's one of those makes-you-question-your-entire-existence moments

Oxenfree 2 spoilers, re the 'final choice'
I played the whole game in a solid 7 hour chunk yesterday and I'm still trying to decide how I feel about it, and I'll have to do another playthrough when I can, because there's so much of the way the characters are that seems based on your choices so I wanna see what happens when I make other choices
but I'm seeing that a lot of people let Olivia go through the portal at the end, and that everyone who didn't is saying those who did are monsters for letting this grief-stricken teenager kill herself
and. i don't think there is a 'right' choice at the end there in most circumstances. but i did let Olivia take the radio, because as awful as it felt I just kept thinking that I couldn't do that to Rex
especially since we just had a ghost moment of Rex telling Riley she has to keep fighting, even though she's going to keep failing? to follow that up with 'or you can just kill yourself now to save these kids'? like it is a horrible thing to do to Olivia but it's a horrible thing to do to Rex too?
honestly, based on my playthrough, the 'right' thing seems to be Jacob going through the portal. few players forced him to because apparently the only way for him to do it is if you force him - I didn't even let him come on the island with me. I saw the prompt that I could stop him and immediately knew that if I didn't he would die. Riley kept seeing visions of her future but Jacob never did. Jacob kept talking to me about how he feels he never did anything important in life, how he likes just chilling in his hometown, how he doesn't have any grand ambition but also wants to do something important and meaningful
when that prompt popped up I thought 'if I go to that island I'm getting sucked into this loop too and I'm not coming back; Jacob doesn't deserve that' and I made him stay. I'm curious now if there's a specific dialogue tree that leads to Jacob deciding, at the end, that him going through that portal and saving everyone by doing what he's always been doing is his way of being a hero. but that wasn't the option i'd been given. instead I had two suicidal people, who both had their whole lives in front of them
