#put the peeps in the chili and add the m&ms
Text
i made an observation earlier that I’m still mulling over
my favorite games (slime rancher, minecraft, animal crossing, stardew valley) involve Completing Tasks. much of the time those tasks are reliant on other tasks. you do thing A so you can unlock thing B and reach point C to complete goal D. and most of the games have minimal to no way to track these Tasks (the worst example: I have to have a mod on Stardew Valley to open and close my barn doors bc i never remember). but I do great at these games! I keep up with all the Tasks! I often run around manically completing things, or half completing them and getting distracted, but it’s super fun!
now, in real life? task completion IS MY DOWNFALL. you tell me i have four things that need done, and even one of them is a multi step process, I will have to take a good five minutes to stare blankly into the middle distance trying not to panic. then it’ll take me much more time to pick the thing to do first. then while I’m doing the thing I picked I’ll be background panicking about the other three things. and this is when MEDICATED. when not medicated, you’d tell me I had four things that needed done and I’d run to the bathroom for a cry
why is it that I thrive on this in games but not in real life? I’m guessing it’s the lower stakes/more immediate reward in games? that and probably because as soon as I feel frustrated or overwhelmed I put it down. Ill start running around in circles in minecraft bc I literally can’t figure out what needs done next and that’s when I know I’ve gotta take a break. so I guess that really is it, isn’t it? I have greater control over my engagement with the Tasks and can walk away with no consequences. thanks for coming to my liveblog of self-psychoanalyzing

The fact that the YouTube account that made the video of Chidi singing “peeps in the chilli pot” for 6 straight hours isn’t a fan account but an OFFICIAL GOOD PLACE ACCOUNT is the reason why I love this fandom so much
#the good place#chidi anagonye#you put the peeps in the chili pot and eat them both up#you put the peeps in the chili pot and add the m&ms#you put the peeps in the chili pot#it makes it taste…. bad

more of kai making an Executive Decision woop woop badoop
"…hey, Kai?"
Kai knew that tone of voice. That was the I have a question and it might make you mad tone of voice he knew all-too-well from when Nya was little.
He paused the game and glanced at Lloyd. "Yeah, squirt?"
"Why aren't you trying to be the Green Ninja like the others anymore?" asked Lloyd, his voice small.
Kai couldn't bring himself to tell the whole truth, but he could tell some of it. "Eh, once you've seen one Green Ninja competition, you've seen 'em all."
Lloyd's cheeks puffed out. "No, I mean, you wanted it a lot! Now it's like you don't even care! It's weird. You're weird."
Kai sighed and slumped forward. "I guess I just had a bit of a wake-up call or something. It was you, me, and the Fangblade in the volcano. Sure, we had our whole competition going, and if I got the Fangblade, I'd win, but…you didn't see your dad before we got there. The dramatics, his refusal to play nice? It was just like me the time he'd had the Skulkin kidnap Nya, except this time it'd been done to him."
Kai smirked and mussed up Lloyd's hair. "Plus I may or may not have been worried about you, too, so the Fangblade would've been a hollow victory anyway."
"Hah, hey-!" Lloyd spluttered.
"I just…" Kai went on, "…after seeing you and your dad together, I don't think it could be me. But even if it is, I promise you, Lloyd, we'll do everything in our power to find a way out of this dumb destiny thing and keep Garmadon around for you."
Lloyd took a shaky breath. "R…really?"
"Really," Kai said. "In fact, I'll do you one better. Whoever the Green Ninja is, he'll work the hardest out of all of us for it. I personally guarantee it."
Kai caught a glimpse of Wu's hat as he shifted just out in the hall. Wu must really be out of it if Kai just caught him eavesdropping.
"And no matter who it is, we'll have his back all the way, and we'll have your back all the way," Kai continued. "Your dad's surprisingly harmless when he's not being compelled to do great evil, y'know. Even if that harmless evildoing does get on my last nerve."
Lloyd managed a wobbly grin at that. "Yeah, heh, I know."
"Aw, don't get all mushy on me!" Kai complained with a laugh. He still lifted his arm in time for Lloyd to slam into his side and hold on for all he was worth.
Kai pretended not to notice the growing damp spots in his gi, instead silently rubbing little circles in Lloyd's back the same way he would for Nya.
The events of the day seemed to catch up to Lloyd as he Definitely Didn't Cry, Kai Would Back Him Up On That, and eventually he blinked blearily up at Kai. "You gonna make me go t' bed?"
"I mean, not if you don't wanna," Kai said. "You oughta know I stick it to The Man by now, you little gremlin. Bedtimes, shmedtimes. Live by your own rules."
Lloyd giggled sleepily and wriggled a bit deeper into Kai's chest and the couch. "M'kay. Th'nks, Kai."
And then he made Kai's heart swell and break a little at the same time.
"Hope it's you."
And then he was out like a light.
Kai's eyebrows shot up. Wow, show this kid the tiniest scrap of affection and he really became the cuddliest, most trusting little monster to ever monster, huh?
Destiny could wait until at least the end of puberty. If it had a problem with that, it could take it up with Kai's fists.
Kai carefully manuevered the controller up so he could use both hands to save the game and turn off the console, then set the controller aside entirely and reached blindly for the blanket that had fallen off the back of the couch during their tournament.
"Here," said Nya from behind him, pushing the blanket into his hand.
Kai tilted his head back to look in mild surprise.
It looked like Wu hadn't been the only eavesdropper- literally everyone else in the Bounty stood at the doorway, looking in solemnly.
"I hadn't thought of it that way," admitted Jay.
He didn't even have to say it out loud.
Zane shook his head. "Nor did I."
"Kai, you know we can't guarantee that we'll find a way," scolded Cole weakly.
"That's why I didn't," Kai countered. "I said we'd try. That much, I know we can do."
Nya chuckled sadly. "We'll probably have to give him self-defense lessons if we're planning to upend his father's fate."
Kai thought about it for a second. Since he knew intuitively what Lloyd's destiny was meant to be, he knew fighting skills were probably in the kid's future anyway.
"Yeah, probably," he said out loud.
"We can all teach him," said Zane.
"Never pegged myself as a teacher, but this would be worth it," agreed Jay.
"It'll be tough," Cole warned. "We'll all need to get better at taking responsibility. Remember, Lloyd doesn't have an element."
Kai pointedly did not look in the direction he'd seen Wu's hat in.
"If we're doing this, we have to be able to keep him safe, then to teach him to keep himself safe, even with how strong our enemies tend to be," continued Cole.
Kai nodded firmly. "And we will."
They had to.
Lloyd grumbled in his sleep and weakly smacked in the general direction of Kai's face. "…sh'ddup."
"You got it, tiny," Kai said without a moment's hesitation.
"Eh, it won't be the first time you've stepped up to the plate," remarked Nya in a whisper. She gave Kai's forehead a kiss, grinned smugly at his disgust, patted him on the head, and started ushering the other ninja out. "Sweet dreams, softies."
"Excuse you, I am the epitome of aloof!" Kai hissed.
"Sleeeeeeeep," groaned Lloyd.
"Alright, alright," said Kai immediately.
Nya shoved her hand to her mouth to stifle her giggles, but then she and the rest were back outside.
Only Wu was left, out of sight from where the others had been standing.
"You cannot keep his fate away forever," Wu informed him wearily. "Believe me, Kai, I have tried this before. This is not my first attempt at doing so for someone in my family. Destiny has spoken."
Oh, huh, right. Garmadon was Wu's brother just as much as he was Lloyd's dad.
"Then I refuse to listen. You'll just have to tell destiny to take a rain check or something," Kai declared. "If it wants him to fight his freaking father, it can at least wait until he's grown up some."
Wu searched Kai's eyes for something.
Kai just held his gaze with a firm almost-glare. "I figured it out in the volcano, Sensei. All my training to be the best ninja was never to become the Green Ninja. It was to protect him. If I have to protect him from whatever bull they're writing in the Cloud Kingdom, then fine. If I have to protect him from his own destiny, fine! I'm not letting the only one on this dang boat who can relate to Jay on Father's Day just lose that."
Lloyd chose that moment to sit bolt upright, his elbow jamming directly into Kai's sternum, and tell Kai with the utmost urgency, "Hurry, Kai, we gotta catch up to Fritz Donnegan and his crew! They're gonna leave for the Golden Planet Of Light without us!"
Kai wheezed and fought to get his breath back, then took a look at Lloyd's face.
His eyes were barely even open.
Kai smirked before he even realized it. "Well, you go tell Fritz I just gotta finish up here, alright, little man? I'll be right behind you."
Lloyd "looked" over his shoulder, then back at Kai, his eyebrows scrunching up worriedly.
"Promise. Won't be long," Kai said, guiding him back down.
After a long moment, Lloyd nodded. "…kay." He then burrowed back into Kai's side as if he'd never sat up at all.
Whatever Wu was looking for, he seemed to find it as he watched them, and he sighed in resignation. "Very well. I hope you have a plan for when the truth inevitably comes out?"
"I do my best work when I'm winging it," scoffed Kai. He glanced down at the sleeping Lloyd for a moment. "Besides, he's nine. It'd be worth anything to hold this off even a little longer."
"…good night, Kai."
Wu leapt up into the rafters, likely heading to his room to meditate.
Kai shifted in place with a sigh, tossed the blanket over himself and Lloyd, and settled in for the night.
(Unbeknownst to any of them, Nya stood just a few feet past the door, frozen in place with horrified eyes, her hands pressed over her mouth, and a shiver running up her spine.)

So imagine the Duke befriending a child and their parents then the child is very sick and he gets the little family out and away to get the child better medicine and it works and the parents keep away from the village only realising how bad it was when they were away
things happen and the child returns battered and bruised and wanting to make a difference somewhere but they can't and they die and then wake up in a strange world and they walk and find a child who has been there for a lot longer and is so weary for one so young and so old at the same time and they gather the child up and take care of her and they go on many years later (and many more children later who grow as people as much as they are able) they find another battered and bruised child who is not sad (yet) but angry at the world and everything in it and the child doesn't want them yet
and then something different happens something changes a rumble across the world and the first child realises her mother is dead and she feels relief utter relief and the weight on their shoulders on all their shoulders lessens and Eva this time leads them to what remains of a battle field and the two figures embracing one glowing and as they watch the one glowing disappears and they watch as the man gets up and smiles and also disappears
they leave and find the angry child but her edges aren't as sharp as they once and now she is just heartsick or heart broken perhaps where this time they don't say anything to her directly they just sit down and Eva for the first time talks about her mother, they were all aware of her mothers efforts to bring her back and as she spoke she used the mold to make a bowl and taking the cue the others did the same trying something that had been brewing since Miranda died the first time and from the bowl a flower grows
Eva is done talking now and another child takes her place all the while Evie watches despite her self and creeps forward curious and asks how to do that pointing at the 7 flowers and they shrug and just go try it its best if you're not really thinking per say just let your hands do what they want- Evie doesn't she grabs a handful and scoots back again (nervous that they would make her talk as well) and she begins to try and fails and tries again and fails getting frustrated and storming off this time Eva follows and finds Evie and just sits with her and goes you don't have to speak but listen to me and Evie is curious so she stays and listens for hours at the end Evie leaves again this time with a handful of mold and they Eva resumes her story as Evie try and manipulate the mold again going through the same cycle but this time Eva intervenes advising her to count and keep trying and on attempt something Evie is somewhat successful in making a vaguely recognisable shape of a dandelion
and Evies ability to see what happens in the world is still there and she doesn't use it as often but she does visit and observe Zoe who as luck would have it was talking about her and she watches it unfold and hears what Zoe has to say about her and Jack (and what Jack said in the mold to Ethan all those years ago) she goes back to mold and the group who now has a garden
Evie speaks now just the begining (before the Baker house) about the song one of the researchers sang near constantly (Go Tell Aunt Rhody)*1 and the many tests and the lives that were changed and her desire for a family only to be rejected by Miranda and later Mia*2
as she talked with Zoe's words in her head she realised that Mia rejecting her fucking hurt and she is still angry*3 and they understood through their own experiences at mother mirandas hands and things
it takes a lot longer for her to feel brave enough to talk about the Baker House and the Winters and Rosemary. Evie is afraid to be rejected again and condemned for her pain and her hate and her anger (they condem Mia yes but understand her to a extent what they heard about Lucas however? well they got pissed more so then ever before)
Evie grows and she wants to see the Winters again and visits one by one starting with Rose and Mia (she does not know how to talk to them yet just wants to see them), then with her family in tow finds Ethan and they talk (and Evie creates flowers) and listen and go their seperate ways and then Evie puts more thought into finding the Bakers and talking through it with them (it was both harder and easier then it was with Ethan... Marge does hold her hand for a short time)
all the while the mold itself changes grows calmer and more peaceful as a whole they find the masked Duke and heal him they heal the monstorous Rose clones (didn't heal more of changed they look like trees now unless you tilt your head in a certain way and you can see faces once contorted in pain and now looking like they sleep)
the inhabitants don't forget their pain and sorrow and some don't forget nor fully forgive but they do attain some semblence of peace
Developer interview
Mia did reject Evie and I will talk more on it when I finish replaying re7 it will be interesting to write to say the least (well it will be more Evie and Mia and Alan then Evie with the Bakers as a whole)

"You wouldn't talk about a non famous person you knew in real life like that" bitch yes I would. Gossip is a fundamental human right
#i spent more time today talking about staff at my uni than i have spent talking about taylor all week#not to stir the pot but YOU PUT THE PEEPS IN THE CHILI POT AND ADD THE M&MS#as ella put it the ratio is 80/20 and the 80 is gossip about real life people#anyway sorry to vaguepost but this one had to be exorcised from my brain

actually just for funsies i would like to know other people's vocal stims or echolalia you have/had experienced often! (vocal tic experiences are welcome as well !! i just dont have tics so idk if thats really all that similar so i'd rather leave it to u guys who do have them to decide)
mine are:
"MEOW"
"you put the PEEPS IN THE CHILI POT and ADD THE M&Ms"
"apathy's a tragedy and boredom is a crime anything and everything all of the time" (said really really fast)
"that is MAHOGANY"
"fuckin mint"
"mrrrow" (different from "MEOW". this one's lower, quieter & more like purring)
"mew" (also different from MEOW and mrrow)
"Skulduggery Pleasant's 1954 Bentley R-Type Continental is one of only 208 ever made"
a couple of these (like peeps in the chili pot, fuckin mint, and bently r-type) are echolalia from other people or from books/TV and some are just vocal stims

recently read a fic where the author memed all their chapters and it was GREAT, we should all be doing this, I’ll start, here’s some for “On love and latte art.”
(IDs below the cut)
[ID: 7 memes, in order:
First, an image of Chidi Anagonye from The Good Place stirring a large pot and saying “You put the Peeps in the chili pot and add the M&Ms.” Caption says “Dirk ordering coffee.”;
Second, the expanding brain meme, four photos of increasingly large brains with the captions “Give your crush a free drink,” “Start a loyalty program,” “Redecorate the coffee shop,” “Plan an open mic night”;
Third, a three-panel comic. First panel has a stick figure labeled Dirk with a shirt that says “No friends.” Second panel has a shirt that says “Todd Brotzman.” Third panel is Dirk again with a shirt that says “One friend.”;
Fourth, a car labelled “Todd Brotzman” screeching off the freeway exit. The sign for the main highway says “Ask out your crush normally.” The exit the car is taking says “Propose marriage.”;
Fifth, Gina Linetti from Brooklyn 99, labelled “Todd Brotzman,” listening to headphones and dancing. Behind her, a fight has broken out between figures labelled “the mob,” “Blackwing,” “The Rowdy 3,” and “Farah Black”;
Sixth, a caption reading “Todd: You wouldn’t know anything about lying.” Caption beneath reads “Dirk:” above a photo of a monkey looking into the camera and then shiftily looking away;
Seventh, a chart labelled “Who would win?” Two options below, a photo of Todd Brotzman labelled “A righteously angry bisexual hell-bent on vengeance,” and a photo of the Rowdy 3 Van labelled “A van.”
/End ID]
#i can't draw but i CAN make shitty memes#which are even shittier b/c they're all screenshots whoops#dghda#brotzly#coffee shop au#long post#i'm not great at the IDs lmk if these are readable!

the thing is that "doomed-by-the-narrative" as it is most often used now is meaningless; any character who dies in a story is doomed, any narrative that death flags a character is consigning it to doomed-by-the-narrative, any text you reread, knowing the ending, you see the downward spiral that was missed the first time. this doesn't make it any more or less doomed. the girl who dies in the first ten minutes of a columbo episode is as doomed-by-the-narrative as Gideon nav, perhaps even more since we enter the viewing experience with the expectation of that trope. the insistence on this kind of half-diagetic lens where characters are aware of & yet fully separate from the narrative structure, running around it like a labyrinth or a maze & yet still at its mercy, is kind of strange to me. it's so so interesting & compelling 2 me to see (mostly) fandom people trying (&partially succeeding!) to build this kind of narrative theory & structure from scratch (yes i'm sure some of you have prior knowledge of what youre talking about) but also sometimes like. a little bit put the peeps in the chili pot & add the m&ms. tbh.
#like doomed-by-the-narrative just means a character who dies and the author does a good job at signaling theyre gonna die.#txt#hiii how are we all... in tha car staring at clouds doing my favorite bored activity (turning tumblr discourse around in my head like a#globe & figuring out where my opinion lands)(also thinking about narratology)

ok i am not over everything everywhere all at once but tbh one thing i haven’t heard anyone talk about yet is how even in the multiverses that mostly existed as part of a joke there still managed to be a genuinely touching narrative arc in each one??? like i know the reason i feel so emotionally invested in two piñatas or two rocks is because of the greater context of the story being played across all these abstract scenarios and the same emotional signifiers taking place across each one to emphasize the relationship between evelyn and her family but i just have to appreciate the fact that there wasn’t a single moment in that movie that didn’t end up having a larger impact. the whole is greater than the sum of its parts yes, but also the parts themselves still manage to be worth something in and of themselves. god what a great movie

concept i just thought of: i wanna get a jacket and just absolutely cover it in pronoun pins. all different sets of pronouns, he/him they/them she/her she/they he/they they/she ze/zir xe/hir etc etc etc literally any pronouns i can find. and all different types too like the mass produced ones and some homemade ones from bottle caps. so i want a pronoun jacket like that and then i'll wear it around and whenever a young queer kid is like "hey i like your jacket" i'll give them one of my many pronoun buttons for free bc i have more at home. i'll become the pronoun fairy. very excited to see this vision come to life
