PART TWO - Replaying King's Quest, Chapter Two (2015)

It really is beautiful in the rain though. I love the unevenness of the cobbles so that rain pools in lovely puddles. The way the water comes down in sheets off the rooves.

No tapestries on the walls of the hallway leading to Grandpa’s room. Hm – a good Watsonian reason might be that the tapestries are traditionally hung in respect for a deceased king (sob.)

Triumph balloon! (Assuming it’s a balloon, and not a pinata? That would be… weird.)

Balloons with seams in them,

“Does it have a dragon?” (Graham, thinking: “Um, well, technically yes! For about a minute. And if we count my PTSD flashbacks, We can add an extra 30 seconds.) Aloud: “It miiiiiight!”

The “Rapid Escape” theme played on the low, low keys of the piano. Yesssss.

The way Graham just looks gobsmacked by the sight of the goblin king. All he can do is stare, wide eyed.

That goblin that took Graham’s hat must be in high demand for fairy tale re-enactments. His impression of Graham’s jog is spot on.

Graham tries to get respect by assuming the deep voice again. How much have you been been doing that since you ascended the throne, young sir? And has it ever worked?

What?? You can see Graham walking around I the dark cell if your screen is bright enough, not just the ripples? I did not know this! Oh – and now I can’t. Must be a one shot thing.

I remember when I first played and all the salamanders started lighting up I thought for sure we were going to see the dragon fully revealed. A tense moment it was. I had to mentally adjust.

Who would have thought Graham’s cell would be one of the most glittery locations of them all? (It’s luminescent mushroom spores.)

Some hospitable little goblin set him up with a bouquet and a placemat. Good on him.

So many good idling animations for Graham when he’s at 1 health.

The devs really said, “WAIT – we’re the literal people making the game. This angst fic full of stress, and facing your fears, and maturing in the face of terror could be… canon!! We can do ALL the emotions!!”

Mr. Fancycakes’ reputation precedes him. The goblins clearly knew that of all the captives, he was the one who had to be most brutally chained up.

Christopher Lloyd at the end of a sixteen hour recording session: “I didn’t understand much Goblinese, but I think they wanted me to clean up all the webs.”

how to be yourself (who is that, anyways?)

He didn’t deserve an ending just yet. There was too much to fix. / Nobody was healed and only more wounded were going to join them, but… they’d heal. They’d do it together. / Would peace be an option for all of them? / Nothing was right. / "We can make things right."

A story of survival after death, and how to forge something new after having destroyed the world. Where every awakening is a disaster waiting to happen, but not an irreparable one. Unlikely friendships, growing bonds, and some semblance of happiness; if they can bring themselves to believe they deserve it, anyways.

tldr; the remnants of despair becoming beacons of hope again, not for society, but for themselves.

I decided to re-read the bendy books because it's been a while since I read them.

#bendy and the ink machine #batim #dreams come to life #bendy books #Buddy titledrops again at the end of the book #in chapter 24 lol #anyway; apologies for my crappy sense of humor #That was one of the first things I thought when I read this sentence #It's been a LONG time since I last read DCTL so it was good to revisit and remember what happened in this book #despite some bumps in the road I still find myself entertained by the story #and it gave me new characters to think about #I really like Buddy and Dot #shoutout to them #and for Abby too #Abby Lambert my beloved #my main plan; or at least the original plan #was to reread the first book; then reread The Lost Ones #then to finally read Fade to Black for the first time;because it's been 5 months and i still have to read it lol #Maybe I'll reread TIOL too I think #and maybe the other two; I don't know; that wasn't part of the plans before. #crookedsmile open his mouth;bendy #crookedsmile open his mouth

I don’t agree that Cersei and Sansa had a mentor & mentee relationship similar to the one Sansa has with Littlefinger. Cersei did try, in her way, to pass on some of her nastier life lessons to Sansa, but Sansa roundly rejected everything Cersei tried to teach her. 

By contrast, Sansa takes a lot of Littlefinger’s advice and learns from him, even if she doesn’t like or trust him, because she knows that much of what he says is useful. She even took in the Hound’s advice about how to survive Joffrey (”He wants you to love him and to fear him”), because although it was delivered in an unkind way, she recognized that there was value in it. But whenever Cersei tried to teach her anything, Sansa was rightly like, “No, that’s fucking dumb, I’m not gonna do that.” She has no respect for Cersei at all lmao. 😂 

At best, Cersei is a cautionary tale for Sansa of everything she doesn’t want to turn into and everything she doesn’t want to be. Apart from that, Cersei’s had little to no influence over the person Sansa has become. Sansa wants nothing to do with her bullshit, and honestly I love that for her. If I ever needed any evidence at all that Sansa is smart, it would be in that fact alone.

#anti cersei lannister #none of this should be perceived as pro littlefinger in any way #but i don't think the two relationships are comparable at all #cersei was just a painful and unpleasant chapter in sansa's life that she wants to move on from #i don't see any reason for that awful relationship to be revisited bc i think sansa has narratively moved on to bigger and better things #her storyline has outgrown cersei

Posting last chapter of heat fic tonight wahoooo

#i wanted to get it up this morning but I had to revisit two scenes #one because i wrote it before anything else in the fic LOL #i could still get it up but i need to sleep #i need fresh eyeballs to make sure it's the best version.... #this chapter is like. 9k lmao

[whysamwhy123]

22. Do you know how your fic will end before you start writing?

Generally, yeah. I'm a pretty firm planner/outliner - I need to know where I'm going before I start putting pen to paper, so to speak. Most of my fics, I know how they're gonna end when I start 'em. And while I have yet to venture into multi-chapter fics, (not for lack of wanting to, believe me, I have Ideas) I would only do so if I knew for sure how I wanted it to end.

That isn't to say I'm not willing to be flexible though, if the writing process takes me down a different path. A good example of that is Voice in the Dark, Part Two - that fic originally had a very different ending, but when I started writing the second conversation between Hook and Evilhausen, it ended up going in a completely different (and much hornier) direction that took me by surprise and facilitated changing the ending. And even then, that ending had a couple different iterations before I settled on what was posted in the end. To this day, I still wonder how different the reception might have been if I'd gone with one of the other endings.

#Thanks a million for sending this in!! #This was a fun question - it's got me thinking about my various elaborate multi-chapter AU fic ideas #And reminiscing about writing VitD Part Two and how differently that one could have turned out #One of the those endings would have been a lot more positive - borderline feelgood - and a hell of a lot less creepy #While the other ending would have been...much much muuuuuuuuuch creepier 😬 #Hmmmm...maybe I need to revisit that 'verse at some point...

Summary: She knew that she should’ve done something. She should’ve stepped in sooner, to open her eyes and stop the bullying. She was at fault as much as everybody else was. She was guilty.

And yet, he forgave her.

#pmatga #pacman and the ghostly adventures #pmatga fanfic #fanfic #my fanfic #cylindria #pacster #pac #spiral #pmatga spiral #skeebo #pmatga oc's #bullying #I MIGHT draw a cover for this fic one day #but for now I'm focusing on creating art for each chapter of The Veil #anyways #Call Me Cyli #is a revisit to the first two episodes but written from Cyli's POV #The fic won't follow the events of canon too closely #meaning some scenes will be altered to fit the fic while some other scenes will be expanded upon #in fact the first 6 chapters don't take place in canon at all #rather it first gives a lot of in-depth background to the characters #leading up to the events of canon #Content Warning #There's a lot of bullying and manipulative themes involved #but I hope ya'll will enjoy it nonetheless :) #This fic is currently In-Progress and stands at 6 chapters #Chapter 7 will go up after I've worked on The Veil for a little bit

I’m excited for the next two chapters of happenstance because Katara gets to be such a failwoman while also winning it’s hard to explain

#she’s so cringefail but like also she’s winning so much #I literally can’t explain it you’ll just have to read and then you’ll be like OHH okay cringefail winner <333 #happenstance #28 & 29 are sort of a two partner #but not exactly? #again it’s hard to explain #you’ll just have to see #ok time to revisit the source material for the next chapter (sit com wise) instead of Bates Motel for a bit #see it’s productive because it’s writing research #anyway. I love rambling all my little thoughts on here & making Zero sense hehe

[memequeen92]

man every once in a while i reread breaking you apart and get such a visceral urge to rewrite it if only because the first two chapters feel so awkward at certain points and it makes me cringe

but also like. the rest of the story doesn't bug me much, just the two first chapters.

but I also feel like it would be weird to go back and just make big changes to them after all this time??

fuck man, it's so easy to tell I was having a manic episode while writing the first two chapters of that fic...

#AUGH #genuinely debilitating how much certain points of the first two chapters hurt me #but also like. the original has 12k hits and i dont like just. deleting or completely changing things #ive only ever deleted ONE fic and it was because it was heavily influenced by an audiomaker #who eventually did some shit that made me uncomfortable with keeping it up #ough. it would take a while to rewrite that fucker too bc like hell I'm gonna just copy/paste the rest of the fic and call it done #id have to revisit the later chapters too and do some restructuring maybe. #ugh its so tempting i hate the first two chapters so much #also i guess the chapters with the lunch box kind of suck too honestly... they really drag on unnecessarily... #im gonna smack myself with a newspaper i already started a rewrite of deceptive calling and i have like 3 things in progress #i do not have the TIME to be rewriting another fic!!! #...but the temptation. my god. the temptation.

PART ONE - Replaying King's Quest, Chapter Two (2015)

Opening logo screen as a symbol of what happens to Daventry over Graham’s reign? A new flowering and regrowth, even as he grows and blossoms personally?

For just a moment we can see Graham’s real reflection in the mirror, as the dragon vision fades and the purple ripples spread.

When he’s so breathless and panicked by what he just saw, but he hears the guards coming and just has to run and flail and get to the throne before they come in, so he can look like he’s got it together. I understand why you feel you have  to mask it, Graham – most of them have little confidence in you at this point and vulnerability is a real risk – but I’m pretty sureif you do this on a consistent basis it’s a contributing factor to why this first stint as king has been so distressing for you. His eyes are so huge as he turns aside from the mirror.

Graham does the big, grand, “Proceed” line in a deep voice twice in this game. Once in his twenties, where he’s doing it unironically to try to come off kingly – and it sounds so stupid. But Grandpa also does it in the framing device, to joking invite Gart to come in, and it’s just meant in good fun because he clearly realizes how ridiculous it is. That kid came along, over time.

Number One actually sounds quite excited about the new uniforms.

“Hilarious. Your key decisions are already shaping the kingdom for the better. Yay.” You know what would be hilarious? If this line was utterly accurate because your choice of footrub had consequences. I mean, there are three options. 😉

“And don’t forget your swords this time.” Man, I’d like to know what happened that time. Called out suddenly in the middle of the night, perhaps?

I love the thing where Graham’s getting inundated with decision quests and the time available to make a choice gets steadily shorter while the options get steadily wordier. Awesome way to give just a little touch of the overwhelm while keeping it lighthearted.

My favourite cloak is back! Love the wine red and lighter trim. I forgot it has quite so much sheen to it. It’s the chapter beginning. Of course I am going to spend some time just spinning him and making him move in fun ways (not so smooth with arrow keys, though!)

He’s all upright as he runs and really pumping his arms – I just remembered that shortly he’s not going to do that. Oh… (But also >:D)

Graham has a freckle on his left ear.

Making puns in that small, daunted little voice. Reflexes still kicking in.

The very quiet rendition of Achaka’s musical motif if you keep looking at his memorial.

We don’t get to walk through the palace courtyard, but it looks like an interesting place. Half-timbered buildings, a wagon with big wheels, a great big bench to sit on under a lantern. Doubtless where all the chattering people we could hear in Chapter One were busy. I think I used it as a location once in fic, but I didn’t explore it as much as might have been interesting.

“I guess I was born at the right time. I’m… just lucky.” And it cuts too ways, doesn’t it? He really believes that in this moment. That he didn’t get the crown because he proved himself and did good for the kingdom, but just by lucky chance. But at the same time, he doesn’t feel lucky at all. Not one bit.

No thank you for Olfie?

The town square is gorgeous in the rain. I am going to run around it forever admiring it. (And that is… the only reason I’m just going to keep running round it and not knocking on anyone’s door. Yup.)

I’m finally done with all my mocks so I can hopefully get back to writing soon!

#not a reblog for once #froggi rambles #i have a few plans rn #i wanna write a drabble for 1660s menswear and keep editing my merchant au #i wanna revisit some of my other WIPs and start writing chapter two of my 1850s nyo engport au #too many ideas too little time 😔 at least the six weeks holiday is coming up

[lonewolflink]

also “what exactly IS the deal with 2yeon anyways” has me frothing at the mouth. would ADORE the WSC extended universe -hambbyong

if i wrote this oneshot it would probably be like. a non-chronologically ordered collage of scenes from their freshman year through the end of wheel snipe celly revealing EXACTLY what their deal is and how it came to be

(and also exactly what jihyo knows about it)

#hambbyong ask #would have to be posted after the whole OG fic was finished though i think #unless i made it a two-shot and left ch. 2 of it for after i've finished wheel snipe celly #hmmmm... #i do know what at least some of those scenes would be #if i write one chapter of this potential two-shot it would have to be after i start chaeryeong's [redacted-inappropriate] arc in act 2 #so might be a while #maybe i'll revisit writing this then! #wheel snipe celly #hockey au #asks

[choface]

iykyk 😔

#that chapter summary #I don’t think I’m mentally stable enough for this #😖😖😖 #sorry I’ve been reading this fic for two literal years #and somehow remained in denial of how this story ends #tbh the more i revisit the marauders in my adult life #the more i wanna say a big fuck you to jkr and everything she stands for #anyway… expect some live reactions from #here on out probably will speed read the last 100 pages #all the young dudes #real time fic reactions from yours truly

Hi Neil, I just finished watch season two, and apart from emotional devestation of the plot (thank you I hate you I love you), I wanted to say how emotional the sheer Pratchett-esqueness of it all made me. Obviously the easter eggs were a pleasure (CMOT Dibbler, six-inch tall angry scottish men, seamstress humour and the countless more I'm sure I'll pick up on on repeat viewing.) But the street traders meeting felt like something straight from the Discworld. Terry had such a keen eye for the beautiful humour in mundane, silly, regular people. Of course the apocalypse might happen. But people have things to say about the Christmas lights. Of course they do. I started reading the discworld books when I was 8, and the supply was so great (our library would order books in if you asked nicely and had it no limit on how many books you could borrow), I quickly became addicted. I read them all, too quickly, looking back. And then one day there weren't any more new books to read. And today, watching Good Omens s2, it was almost as though I got to revisit a new chapter. And I wanted to thank you. Because Terry's spirit is so present in season two its hard to imagine you didn't come up with it together while eating sushi.

Thank you! That put a huge smile on my face.

Unexpected Guests Chapter 10, Act Two: Page 4

First / Previous / Next

Gaster may have shown his face again, but Undyne's more than ready to put a boot right through it--and the wall too...

I've said it before, I'll say it again, even if it's difficult to get right I always enjoy drawing Undyne's action poses! It gave me a good reason to revisit my volumes of fullmetal alchemist for inspiration, even if that meant staying up way too late one night XD

I hope you'll look forward to the next update, coming Oct. 19th!
