#still a cryptic

[koddlet]

personal rules for winter ❄

#this was fun bc i didn't intend for it to be kind of cryptic #i just wanted to make some reminders for myself about winter cuz i never learn #especially the back cover which i guess isn't really a rule but still stands. i'm in a rural place so when it gets dark it's Dark #and its hard to want to do anything #zine #mini zine #illustration #nonfandom #analogue art

#i know it's not gonna end up being anything big but #it's the first real tma update we've had in a while #also “are you still listening” bro you think i ever stopped #your podcast is 90% of my entire personality. i'm always tuned in #the magnus archives #jess.txt #honestly this could have just been girls when the magnus archives #update: WHAT IF IT'S SOMETHING BIG WHY ARE THEY BEING SO CRYPTIC ABOUT IT

my prediction for new hermitcraft season was “maybe february first, or the third if they want a weekend or the fifth if they want a monday” and that STILL seems likely but im beginning to wonder if i was a little too conservative with my choice of date and they’re going to start it even sooner. surely not, right,

#LIKE I STILL THINK FEBRUARY BUT #BOY ARE THEY BEING ACTIVELY CRYPTIC.

If you don’t wanna leave a dot you can use an invisible character! It will basically leave the response looking blank so you can talk in tags

#hey you're right #that's pretty nifty #I might still go with the dot it's just faster #answered #anonymous #or I could start using some cryptic symbol like #𓅷 #answering all asks with the plucked chicken hieroglyph

Here it is: The Venn diagram of the comparison that made me get into TMA!

Spoilers for ALL of the Magnus Archives:

I tried to stick to canon facts, but it's hard for a character as based in fanon as Watcher Grian. Originally, I assumed the reason they were so similar was that the Archivist was just so popular on Tumblr that bits of his storyline made their way into Watcher Grian fanon... but actually, the EVO finale took place nearly a year before MAG 160, though 3rd Life began after TMA ended. It really does seem to be parallel evolution (no pun intended.)

#watcher grian #mcyt watchers #grian #the hermit archives #mag 160 spoilers #mag 200 spoilers #hermit archives meta? #the martin blackwood / martyn littlewood thing is stronger in EVO than the Life series tbh #with martyn being cryptically led to the portal that lets them escape the crumbling world ruled by the Watchers? #the listeners are the Web! even more than the watchers are the Eye. #The whole 'eating fear' thing IS probably cross-contamination from TMA -> fans -> Martyn. #but still. still!

S5 opener REAL

#byler #will byers #stranger things #every season besides s4-5 opens with non main characters #for el we got a flashback of the lab followed by her perspective in the scene directly after #and I think for Will we will see something similar #with us getting the flashback of him in castle byers in the UD #followed by him in the present in the scene after #but what exactly would warrant that memory being brought up in association with Will in the present? #mayhaps his connection to the mindflayer and the UD run deeper than we realize… #it’s likely not something he could just rid himself of in s2 and now he’s all good #he literally still feels a connection to everything he is feeling #that means he is still technically at risk of being the spy in some capacity #the massacre at Hawkins lab also was a guiding force for El discovering the ‘truth’ in s4 #so it’s likely for Will this instance will operate in a way that re-contextualizes the events in the past up to now #like that time Will suggested they go to the hospital in s3 only for the flayed to be waiting for them #or how flayed Billy knew they were at the cabin… #all while Will was looking cryptic as hell in that scene watching over el #or the fact that he picked Billy in the first place the season after he focused on Will… #you know.. williams #I think the easiest way to introduce the castle Byers flashback is a dream honestly #specifically a dream within a dream #seeing that recent leak and Will looking like either he has a black or hasn’t slept in days #is giving very much ‘I am afraid to sleep bc I’m scared of what will happen’ #I think dude is not exactly possessed in the sense that we already saw in s2 with like the particicles #but he’s still vulnerable #the door is still ajar… #no but fr this idea of opening a door in your mind was so blatant in st2 AND s3b of teen wolf #I think a big part of it will be guilting Will over the fact that Will has helped him before without Will telling the others #hence his weird vibe in s3… like he’s already successfully fucked with Will post s2 potentially with us being none the wiser aka here we go

Tbh Dostoyevsky using vampire guards to communicate with the outside still doesn't explain how he managed while he was still in cell, because supposedly he never moved from there and thus didn't have any chance to interact with any guard (also given that if he did, Dazai would have certainly figured it out on the spot)

#I still think it's very funny to believe Dazai and Dostoyevsky are just bulshitting their way through #“I have my means to communicate with the outside world” #[has not a single clue what is going on outside and is just replying to Dazai's affirmations with cryptic statements that would- #more or less fit any context] #fyodor dostoevsky #bsd #bungou stray dogs #bsd ch 111 #mine #Like really this is one of those explainations where you're like. #Of course nobody could predict this. #Because it doesn't make any fucking sense that's why

Oh Vanilla Orchid, your eyes betray your very smile

What are you if not a serene being?

Are you truthly who you appear to be?

Or are you just a being sinking into it's own regret and shame, unknowingly dooming itself to a constant pain lurking just around the corner?

Do I you shield my your soul away, wishing for it all to leave my your mind someday?

Or is it a self inflicted punishment against what I you abandoned?

Is this truthly how I you wish to live?

Should I you speak up and tell the truth I you claim to be oh so important?

No

How could I risk loosing and hurting the ones I care for the most again?

After my failure, what would it do? How would it even turn out?

I can't live another tragedy, I can't fail everyone all over again, what would the two even feel if they were here?

Gods, they would be so devastated..

I must keep this to myself, it would be only fair wouldn't it? No one will get hurt if I keep quiet for now, after all.

I'm guilty of not reaching them in time, and this is my price to pay.

#mun note: back on that cryptic lore crumbs grind 🔥🔥 #decided to render something with vanilla orchid this time #missed doing so way too much ngl #Ps: two more things before I stop rambling in tags-- #firstly: this is not situated in the chrono events but the information is still valid and present there #secondly: I've decided to go with more “visual” clues instead of morse code this time around (Also bc of the pain that is translating it) #storybook!au #cookie run au #cookie run kingdom #storybook!vanilla orchid cookie #ooc post #pure vanilla cookie #crk au #digital art #i'll get back to finish the remaining two asks in my inbox soon but for now silly art hour!!!/silly

fictional character of all time

#they give cryptic and ominous prophecies #they're the most down bad anyone has been ever #and it's for someone who by no measure deserves it #they're trans in every direction all at once #they get put through the shredder like no other character before them and still come out standing #they firmly believe the ends justify the means and are willing to do anything to achieve their goals BUT #this doesn't stop them being a massive sweetie who is in reality far too nice to be cut out for the role they play in the story #they'd push the trolley onto a different track in the trolley problem in an instant but they'd be a sobbing mess the whole time #they are devastatingly funny and also have the humour of a thirteen year old boy #both kinds of humour are used to hide the fact that they are incredibly terrified of the Mortifying Ordeal of Being Known #beloved my beloved #realm of the elderlings #rote

[triple-starsss]

i am SOOOO INVESTED in this au like im about to start a stan twitter account i'm about to make one of those one direction imagines IM!!! SO NORMAL ABOUT THEM!! i'm curious though how do triple s leave eggman's management and how do they continue as a band following that since you mentioned it in your answer about the music?? and seriously tysm for making this au it drives me insane /pos

AAAH IM GLAD TO HEAR THAT LOL i should make a Triple☆S fancam at this rate (also wooo on a roll with asks today asbdjf)

AND OUGHH still working out the finer details of this but i have a sort of vague idea of how i want it to play out!! (also brace yourself this is long as hell)

This is during a period where they start touring and are essentially at the peak of their fame!! They're all incredibly exhausted from the almost daily concerts - mentally and physically. It gets bad enough that Silver ends up fainting live (this was their sort of wake up call that okay shit, we seriously can't be doing this anymore)

With Rouge's help they manage to sneak away from their tour bus prior to the concert happening the next day (which would've been one of the bigger ones in terms of ticket sales). They stay at her place for the mean time, THOUGH OBVIOUSLY THIS CAUSES A PROBLEM FOR EGGMAN!!! Can't exactly have a concert without Triple☆S performing and there were already a shit load of people waiting within the venue - he promptly cancels the event and has to refund all the tickets they sold for this concert (causing a significant dent in his profit as well as reputation).

Fans are incredibly worried (and frustrated)- they don't hear from the band themselves for about a week as they keep missing the tours, Eggman is continuing to lose A LOT of money and his patience!!

this is the part that i'm still working out BASJDHF but eventually they make an appearance again, on a little stage in the middle of the city center. People quickly take notice, crowding around them, barraging them with questions and complaints ETC ABSDJ. They encourage people to start recording and they talk about Eggman, his cruelty (to not only them but his other workers), greed, unethical practices THE WHOLE LOT. This info spreads like wildfire and eventually Eggman is taken away to be put on trial (and is clearly guilty) - effectively ruining his whole business and severing them from his management (yippee!!)

after all that they take a LOOOONGGG ass break from the spotlight absjdhf but they've grown to really enjoy the band and each other's company - choosing to instead be a bit more of an underground (ha sonic underground) group, performing music more catered to their tastes and initial vision for the band (this does dwindle their popularity but they find comfort in that).

They do obviously end up losing their apartment too absjdf - Sonic lives with Tails again, Silver finally gets his own place and Shadow sort of bounces between living with Rouge and back with Gerald and Maria!!

#LONG POST ALERT ABSJHDF #if there's any typos sorry its like 1AM and i am SLEEPY #that last part with the public announcement is definitely still a WIP #i like to think they posted some super fucking cryptic message on social media before it thinking it would be sooo funny #if you're wondering why they didn't do this way earlier: DONT THINK TOO HARD ABT IT ABSJDF #working with Eggman made them feel as though he held power over them though - like no matter what they done it would be fruitless #and hell they kinda need to give it to the man- without him they wouldn't have been where they were.. so he clearly knows what he's doing- #they don't need to interfere #WEEE WOOO THEY'VE BEEN MANIPULATED!!!!!!!!! GASLIT!!!!! WEEEEE WOOOOO #triple☆s #asks #t☆s txt

something something glammike thing where annoying ghost hunters come to the pizzaplex and ask questions about william and the MCI and the hauntings and some influencers rent the place from time to time for that sweet sweet fazclout and this really peeves glamfreddy because Michael knows firsthand that this isn't something you really want to poke about (maybe for the fun of it, and CC's personal suggestion, Glamfreddy makes a snide comment about biting the ghost hunters lol)(they probably know what it means lmao)

#alright #huh? yeah-(someones gotta fix that robot) anyways- #“Did you know it was actually in the safe room where the original missing children incident victims where murdered? They were stuffed in-” #fnaf #michael afton #five nights at freddy’s #glammike #glamrock freddy #I have this thing where the influencers are trying to do a video and glamfreddy was temporarily reprogramed to move stuff around for them #But Michael just really isnt having it so in the character of glamfreddy he just starts spewing cryptic shiz because haha funny #just stuff that the in-character-preformer robot REALLY wouldn't know lmao #“Freddy can you move that box” #“Certainty!....” #You know #O-KAY! THANK YOU #Idk why I put all of this in the tags lmao itd be much easier to just....put it in the post buuuuuut im too lazy teehee #anyways maybe when some especially annoying ghost hunters/influencers come Michael calls in reinforcements (lizzy Charlie and CC) #you know #to give the lads some spooks #Listen my mans is so tired and he has to be forced to be still and play the same songs since that day let him have some shenaniganry #no guys its okay he secretly likes performing trust #sigh im mischaracterizing my pookie so bad im so sorry #Anyways rememeber to Glive Glaugh Glammike chat 🙏🙏🙏🙏

assistant librarians can't die in the Library, but it'd be interesting if they could

if everyone had to sit and tend to each other's wounds after a particularly arduous fight, chatting and eating snacks to lighten the mood

if every floor was stocked with first aid kits, though Chesed's floor still acts as the unofficial medical wing

if injured librarians had to swallow painkillers and take days off from their duties, their injuries being a bother

if Binah had to, one day, approach a group of her assistant crowded around your body on the ground. they all back away when she arrives, giving their Patron Librarian and her beloved a moment alone, your last moment alone. you're bleeding, bleeding badly, a few limbs horribly twisted out of place- yet somehow you're smiling, and you cough as she just looks down at you before reaching forward and gently taking your hand

it's colder than hers, for once

your smile falters slightly from the pain, voice whispered and raspy and coming out just in a few words- "Did I do well?"

Binah blinks hard, once, your blood standing out on her fingers

"You did wonderfully. Rest, now."

she watches her star slip through her grasp, and a single tear rolls down the cheek of an former Arbiter

#project moon #lobotomy corporation #library of ruina #binah #binah lobcorp #binah library of ruina #you don't live to feel her final kiss on your forehead #perhaps this is her punishment for loving you #for Arbiters are not supposed to love #but she treasures the years you spent together and wouldn't trade them for anything #Binah is more weary after that #still ominous and cryptic but she has the air of someone who's accomplished much and is now very tired
