#patxt #and the DRAMA and the STORY i was some sort of a rebel in a very vaguely fantasy kingdom #and basicially the whole thing was that the ruler of the kingdom had unfairly imprisoned people including children because of something idk #and i was trying to free these people. the twist was that the ruler had powers of like jumping realities/reseting time lines? idk how to #call it but basicially each time I succeeded she would do the abra cadabra and boom back to the square 1 + I am in bum fuck nowhere + the #Land and castle look different + everyone's memories r reset too right. #so I was teying over and over again and it was also becoming harder with each time to trick the ruler BUT that's when the polar bear guy #comes in. so basicislly he was like her first general kinda think like u know right hand very cold and strict and hardened by time but also #kept in the dark by the ruler about the horrors and the injustice. and somehow thruout the resets and mt endless tries HE STARTED TO #REMEMBER ME FAINTLY AWAWAWAAAAA that's how u know it's true love *sighs dreamily* and at one point I was sure I am super fucked and that's #the end of me but he actually covered for me and iw as like o_o and as the ruler left he YOINKED me from the balcony edge I was dangling of #and im like ACK and he backs me to a corner and wants answers about my goal but also why does he feel like he remembers me and I'm like #I csnt add reaction pics here but basicially LITERALLY my heart was beating. so I tell him abt the war crimes and he DOESN'T believe me and #is like not angry because he's pretty stoic but hes not having a swag time BUT he let's me go and goes to check for himself and finds that #it's true. and as he goes to the ruler to confront her she is actually in the middle of performing the Thanos snap so it's all futile. but #from that point on he was able to Remember thruout the resets just like me and we started to work together to actually uncover #1 why the war crimes lol and 2 how is she able to reset the time lines and why does she resort to it 3 why can we remember thruout them #so we're working together anf the ruler acrually started to get suspicious of him that he might actually be able to Remember the resets and #since obviously she remembers thruout them too if she found out even ONCE he was helping me it would be super over for us lol. the dream #plot line never got finished but the last thing I remember was me being buried in his arms in a big fluffy warm hug and saying ilys LIKE #GRAAAAAAAGH EXPLDOED THE WORLD EXPLODED THE WORLD EXPLODES EVERYHRING GIVE ME THAT BEAR BACK!!!!!!!!!

Hoo boy its a lot so read more

Main/Tei-specific modlist below (THIS IS A SSE MOD LIST)

Note: I removed the Alik'r desert mod, it was mainly just a non-vanilla spot for me to test out some new mods n avoid the forced story progress.

Putting on the Waterworks

Fandom: The Mortal Instruments (not the TV show, I can’t stand it)

Prompt: “Don’t worry, I’ve been arrested before. I’ll get us out of this.”

Character: Simon (Platonic friendship)

   It’s 1 in the morning when you enter the city limits. Simon never tells you what the hell has been going on with him, Clary, and their new group of friends, but you constantly find yourself being someone’s chauffeur while they’re at the weirdest places.

   On this particular night, you get a call from Simon saying he ‘got stranded’ in Jersey while taking a Greyhound bus... In the middle of the night. Luckily for him, you’re almost completely used to him and his group’s bull so you play along and drive out to get him.

   Once you finally pick him up and finally see that “Welcome to NYC” sign, it’s over 1 in the morning and you are exhausted.

   Simon can totally tell.

   “I’m sorry I dragged you out of bed.” He apologized for what seemed like the 50th time. That’s one of the things you admired about him. He’s always apologizing every time he calls asking for a free ride somewhere whereas the others that seem to also take advantage of your free time and car seem too much in a rush or too busy to even say hi.

   But you’re also grumpy as hell. “You say that one more time, I’m pushing you out of this car while it’s still in drive.”

   Now that the road looks completely desolate and it’s 1 AM, you take your chances at speeding up a bit and ignoring the limit for a few minutes. Except a few minutes becomes a bit longer and it’s not long until you hear sirens coming from behind you.

   Simon starts to tense up next to you. “Oh man, this can’t be happening...” He agonizes.

   You roll your eyes in boredom. “Don’t worry, I’ve been arrested before. I’ll get us out of this.” Then, looking at your rear view mirror and drying your eyes, you start to feel the pinpricks of tears coming from the corners of your eyes.

   “Oh my god, are you okay?” He asks.

   “Shut up, you just broke up with me and now I have to keep driving you home.” It’s at this point, you finally pull off to the side of the road with the police cruiser following you.

   “I just what? You literally have like the beefiest boyfriend since John Cena.”

   “Shut up and play along, asshole.”

   Now grabbing the packet of tissues in your purse, you start to rub the tears over your face, making your eyes more puffy and your little bit of makeup on at this hour to blot around your eyes.

   The officer approaches your car slowly and, as he does, Simon seems to tense up more and more like he’s scared of the officer.

   Light from the officer shines into the car and hits your face. You keep your head down low, feigning sadness.

   “Is... is there a problem officer?” You ask, looking up slowly, wiping some of the tears away.

   Immediately, he looks uncomfortable and sorry for you and you already know you’ve got him.

   “Well I noticed you speeding a bit back there. A 63 in a 50.” He pauses, shining his light to Simon and showing his face more clearly. He starts to look between the two of you. “Is this boy bothering you, miss?” He softens his voice.

   You shake your head fiercely. “No sir! He’s my boyfr--” You stop yourself again. “I mean... Ex-boyfriend... I’m just... driving him home.”

   He nods again. His face perfectly portrays his emotions. He does not want to be in this situation.

   “Well... I guess I could let you off with a little warning, miss. But you gotta remember to be careful with your driving, always check the speed limit...” He lowers his voice, coming closer to your ear so Simon shouldn’t be able to hear (he does anyway), “And you just remember to not let this guy get you down. You can do a million times better.”

   You begin to cry harder, but joyfully. “Oh thank you so much, Officer...” You look at his name tag in your peripheral vision, “Brock. Thank you so much Officer Brock, I won’t do it again. I’m gonna be very slow, sir.”

   He nods kindly to you, and also gives Simon the stink eye. “Goodnight.” Simon nods back, slinking as deep into his seat as he can, covering his eyes.

   Then he swaggers on back to his cruiser and, once he drives back onto the road and continues down, you resume driving and rubbing off the rest of the faux tears.

   “That was... so... humiliating.” Your friend utters out from next to you.

   “I assume you’ll be better about calling me in the middle of the night then, huh?” You retort back

   “Yeah... I owe you big time.”

   “Hell yeah you do. You and your friends probably owe me something like 100 in gas money and an extra 50 for my patience and silence. And maybe another 20 for the emotional trauma.”

   “Just please get me home without facing that guy again. Felt like he was going to hulk out on me any second.”

   “And I would watch in glee with popcorn.” You smile. “Let’s get you home and get me back into my hunky boyfriend’s arms, please.”

---------------

A/N: #2 of trying to reawaken the dying writer in me. This time, we had a platonic relationship between Simon Lewis and Y/N and tey almost get ticketed or arrested for speeding. Also, I just rewatched Mission Impossible: Fallout so I was sorta definitely imagining Henry Cavill as that super beefy boyfriend that reader has but you can imagine him as anyone you want.

As always, please give me some constructive criticism, places I could do better, stuff like that. Have an amazing Columbus day, y’all!

No school!!!

Doom WADs’ Roulette (2000): The Classic Episode

Remember The Darkening “duology”?

...

Why am I even asking you that? I showed you the second episode one day before the satanic summoning known as “413”-

Anyway, four of the map makers related to those two WADs: Jan Van der Veken, Anthony Soto, Nick Baker, and Travers Dunne, decided to make a little side project while working on the second episode (or rather, to be more precise, Anthony joined the remaining three after work for the episode 2’s version 1.1 was done on August 2000).

And so, by December 2000, this project was released, under the name...

#4: The Classic Episode

Main author(s): Various (mostly done by Jan Van der Veken)

Release date: December 20th/21st, 2000 (original release)/August 31st, 2002 (version 2.0)

Version(s) played: 2.0

Required port compatibility: Vanilla

Levels: 9 (8 main ones + secret one/Episode 2 replacement)

So, what’s the purpose of The Classic Episode? Simple – to emulate the feeling of the Doom I’s content/atmosphere (mostly from the first episode) as close as possible, using seven of its maps created before (almost all of them by Jan and one by Anthony) with two new additions. Does this WAD succeed in its goal? And more importantly, is this finally an episode replacement that is more than just good? Let’s roll a dice and find out.

Now to start out with some positivity, this WAD does live up to its promises. It looks like an unofficial expansion pack/fifth episode to the first Doom, giving you an atmosphere of locations becoming more and more hellish while mostly maintaining the look of Knee-Deep in the Dead.

Unfortunately, because of that idea, the levels themselves tend to look really basic in some places. Sure it gets better as you go on, but when compared to say, The Darkening 2, or other vanilla WADs as early as 1998, it tends to look kind of flat in my opinion. Then again, it was a side project, and it was stitched with seven of these maps (most of these actually being released in 1998), so I can’t be that harsh towards its design.

As for my favorite-looking maps, the last two of these and the secret one seem to look the best.

Also a side note, but I feel like A Place of Sin has a primitive pool table where Imps gamble over the red skull.

I don’t think there was a moment when I was stuck while playing The Classic Episode. There wasn’t really that much of a problem understanding these maps (asides from the red key in the first level; I constantly get lost while searching for it). I also think there is one occasion where there is an extra challenge room after grabbing the key (the red one in the previously mentioned A Place of Sin), unrequired to finish the level but rewarding you with a lot of stuff.

Honestly, The Classic Episode isn’t really that hard. Sure, I can notice that it is significantly harder than the stuff it emulates but after playing some of the ball-busting WADs, this one is more like a typical face slap once you know where the secrets are. Could’ve used fewer hitscanners though.

So to answer the questions that I gave at the beginning – Does The Classic Episode succeeds in its goal of emulating OG Doom’s vibes?

Yes.

Is it something more than just a good episode replacement?

Uhm... I don’t really know.

I mean I feel like it is at least slightly better than Dawn of the Dead which I considered the best episode replacement of the 1990s but overall, it’s just another good, solid episode replacement that doesn’t try to be something more. But as I said before, it was created as a side-project during the work on The Darkening 2, made out of seven maps that were created before, so maybe I am too harsh on this WAD.

Still, I feel like it’s another step in the good direction. A baby step, but still a step.

Next time, we will be looking at... Hold on, give me a minute...

You pull out your list of WADs to play.

Another WAD that requires ZDoom compatibility, is hub-based and is more focused on story elements.

...

Well... Let’s hope that it’s at least better than Assault on Tei Tenga.

See you all next time.

Bye!
