#task of escaping

[boxesblr]

Rotating Etho's choice to protect his allies in my mind. Obviously they made incredible escapes and held their own but Etho also refusing to sell out Cleo and Grian meant that nearly everyone else died, some died multiple times, most lost additional hearts, hurt alliances (Scott: Gem has no band loyalty!), and did not gain something like 120 hearts total

Meanwhile, Cleo and Grian get to feel secure in their alliance, not go red, and actually finish their tasks. The playing field has obviously been levelled significantly and they still suffered, but Etho facilitated his alliance gaining the most where everyone else lost the most

Obviously it's a display his loyalty first and foremost but he also played the game, ran the numbers, and counted himself out of success knowing it would be diminishing returns to go after them and I just think that's neat

#i dont know how itll play socially with the rest of the server but it was cool #skizz hunting tango and saying he wants him back #tango saying hes not afraid to end him #gem attacking scott and him recognising it as a betrayal #bdubs peeling off to talk to martyn about being a big dog #its great content and its easy to get swept up in the task and i dont fault anyone for the choices they made #but etho took a step back and said actually who does this help? me? at the cost of my alliance? #grian who begged for friends and cleo who has made no secret about how much loyalty matters to her #eoughjjj #secret life spoilers #trafficblr #ethoslab #sorry for ethoposting #also just to reiterate hes not solely responsible for the collective failure or protecting his allies #he could have reasonably assumed that scott series winner smajor would have escaped and it would be a lost cause regardless #and cleo enderpearld all over the server and grian invis pot from his tower they did a lot

i think this mspaint doodle deserves to be presented without context

#pjo #percy jackson #nico di angelo #will solace #my art #blood // #the context was my hc of Nico being basically the chores guy for the Underworld #and post-HoO him being tasked with cleaning up all the escaped souls who got out of the Doors of Death #but with the bonus reward of ''if you take care of those souls we'll let hazel come and go from the underworld whenever she wants'' #and Nico just going ''OKAY'' cause goodness knows he would kill & maim so his sis can have nice things

OFC they give Bad the book to make an interactive day with the eggs as a class, ofc he's the choice they pick - the babysitter of the island getting this task and the one who remade the school, perfect choice /pos

#qsmp #badboyhalo #qsmp cucurucho #liveblogging #if someone else got this task that WASN'T Bad considering all the things he's done with the eggs and how he's hung out with all of them #I would be surprised #plus Bad getting to do events in the class fits him sooooooo well #he's literally making an escape room with puzzles in it for parents and eggs #he's an event maker < 3

Y’all send help I am DOWN bad for Astarion. This goddamn vampire twink is taking up so much real estate in my brain. The number of thirst traps I’ve seen of this motherfucker has me in a goddamn FBI watch list. I am gnawing at the bars of my enclosure. I am foaming at the mouth. I want to crack him open like a fucking geode and study the many ways in which the light reflects off of him until I understand every facet of him.

#bg3 #astarion #I’m so normal about him #god I haven’t had a hyper fixation this deep in a year and I’m loving every minute of it tbh #everyday all I do is wake up do my silly little tasks and think about Astarion Baldur’s Gate #baldur's gate 3 #do not let this post escape containment this isn’t what I want to be known for

"girlie did very much fail at solving a sudoku puzzle to save her life though" NO! SHE ONLY HAD HALF THE NUMBERS YOU CAN'T SOLVE IT LIKE THAT MUCH LESS ON A TIMER

#I know it's next level character brainrot when fandom jokes at their expense start getting annoying but like 😭 #there's a lot more fair things to make fun of her for! #like she didn't get good at puzzles to compensate for that if anything it would be even more frustrating how simple of a task it would be #if she just hadn't been at the wrong place at the wrong time out of the sheer incompetence of her captors #she needed junpei to solve it for her because he actually had the entire sudoku grid to start from #zero escape #angy *crosses arms and sits down* (aka don't take it as serious complaint but like. understand do you understand where I'm coming from here) #also like I suppose the port Does kind of lose this context in translation so. fair #a grid without all the necessary minimum numbers as a starting point is not *impossible* but given the circumstances it might as well be

Hm.... Do you hear something?

Look at the details I put into this thang

#zero escape #zero escape spoilers #999 spoilers #blood cw #clover 999 #clover field #I am not immune to making fanart for the axe ending #9 hours 9 persons 9 doors #I'll be yelled at for this one aren't I welp! I'd like to issue an apology by promising wholesome field sibling content in the coming days #and that WILL happen because you see I want this on ig but I #I cannot have this there without a spoiler buffer qwq #my art #I was dying to use this pallette for clover since I stumbled into it during last year's 999 week so I made it sad! #and bloody!! #also this is going to be a color palette trickle down effect also because in trying to make this brighter (task failed) #I got a new idea >:3 #final note on this someone bonk me next time I have to draw the inside of this ship so I don't get lazy and use a screenshot again it's. hm #the third time I think

unemployment hell 🤝

on all levels but physical I am gifting you a hot chocolate and a soft blanket, beloved

I would love nothing more

#my art #causeimanartist #drawing of me #thank you for the sweet message 💙 #I wish this was physically me but it was like 80 degrees today and I'm a sweaty bitch #I want sweater weather so I can look cute and drink hot chocolate from my extensive mug collection #have I ever revealed that fact? that I collect mugs? #99% of them aren't even for drinking - I have them sitting on my dresser and book shelves #holding trinkets and scrunchies #ya know - normal mug tasks #hopefully we both escape unemployment hell soon #I had an interview last Friday but then haven't heard anything since so :( #back to LinkedIn my fucking enemy #all it suggests to me are either legal assistant roles (never again please - I'm over lawyers and law firms) #or perfect jobs for me that aren't in my state #like sir #stop suggesting museum positions in dc #that's the wrong side of the country

How Hermes talks about Luke to others: (the most adoring, protective, forgiving father you've ever met, full of praise and admiration, refuses to give up on him no matter what crimes he commits, defends him to the heroes and begs them to show him mercy, utterly crushed by regret for his own failures)

How Hermes talks to Luke:

#it's so funny (and sad. but let's use the funny lens this time) #he gets angry with annabeth - an incredibly traumatized child - for not running away with luke to help him escape kronos #after luke had kidnapped and tortured her for days and tried to kill her best friends multiple times #meanwhile at NO point does he ever visit luke himself to try to get him out of the cult #his continuous neglect throughout luke's life was a primary reason he could be pulled into the cult in the first place #the only time they spoke luke said 'please do one simple task if you love me at all' and hermes DIDN'T DO IT #and then the moment luke left he was like 'oh my poor son. i love him so much. i wish i could stop him going down a terrible path' #the thing luke asked him to do was tell him about his future in order to avoid the terrible path! #like hermes. come on. #what are you doing? #how do you have all the good dad traits internally and then spectacularly fail at the actions every time? #luke castellan #hermes pjo #pjo #percy jackon and the olympians

Hot take: I had a more enjoyable time playing Skyward Sword than I am playing TotK.

#Skyward Sword was the surprise coziness I didn’t know I needed at the time #it was never repetitive despite returning to zones a couple times #it was also just the right length of gameplay #but TotK is kind of exhausting because there are a million trivial little tasks #I feel like I’m playing through a to do list rather than escaping to a place I want to explore #partially because I already explored the map when I played through BotW #legend of zelda #skyward sword #totk critical

tagged by @dxppercxdxver to post five songs I like to listen to, so let's have what's been my Focusing and Doing Work Playlist for the last four days or so!

i draw slow, 'goldmine'

alfi, 'jubilee'

faoileán, 'an bradán feasa / gan ainm / the changeling'

sian evans, 'blackest crow'

carbon leaf, 'gathering,' and, regrettably, a secret sixth song:

bad lip reading, 'sample of my pasta,' which has been stuck in my head for The Last Twenty-Nine Hours without interruption. will I ever be free of sample of my pasta. send help.

and I shall tag... @technofinch, @cedarboots, @baronetcoins, @bluebstopcat, @benjhawkins, and @seaglassandeelgrass, if you'd like to share?

#one of those tag things #I cannot do my tasks or make my lunch or do ANYTHING anymore because I just have sample of my pasta playing on loop in my head. #how do I escape. it's not just a sample of the pasta anymore it's all of the pasta. Aaugh. #OOP I miscounted. Twenty Nine Hours of sample of my pasta. Hell hell hell hell.

I don't fault the UK version for taking on tasks from the Kiwi version, because they are currently the best TM spin-off at coming up with tasks, but most of the ones they've adapted make me go rewatch the NZ tasks, because usually those versions fully broke one of the contestants

#Taskmaster #Taskmaster NZ #i don't remember all the nz tasks they've adapted but just off the top of my head: #josh losing it over the fortune trail task. paul ego vs the golf task. david having a mental breakdown over the grape escape. #chris parker getting broken by pi. laura and the traitor task. #sort of lifeblogging #Lizzie watches Taskmaster

#baldur's gate 3 #baldur's gate #oc: jewel #aberrations #mine: dnd #keep thinking about the much more interesting narrative buried in this game in bits and pieces.... #like. the very first choice in the game is reacting to a newborn creature calling for help #and i love that you're rewarded for helping and showing compassion #but imagine if the game took you to task for choosing cruelty towards a helpless creature just because it's a ''monster'' #and avoided the Compassion For Me But Not For Thee dissonance of like #you run around asking people for help because of the looming threat of being turned into a mind flayer #you help so many people crushed under the great wheel of power and violence #but there's hardly a real pause to acknowledge that every single mind flayer you see was someone before that #was forced or tricked into that pyramid scheme #and if they escape they can only exist as themselves in the shadows #i love these little scenes we do get but god. act 3 and the Cooler Netherbrain Confrontation in my head is like #what if we tweaked it just a bit #and made it sizzle #anyway miss jewel has reached the top of the OC Favoritism Chart along with miss kit. HER <3 #what if you were a nihilist charlatan monk beholden to nothing and no one and worn down by your long elven lifespan #who learned to feel compassion again through curiosity and sympathy towards ''monsters'' #maybe the only person to ever willingly become illithid because you understood that change is not evil and the ''self'' is energy in flux #what if you rewrote the narrative that everyone else tried to sell #instead of domination and suffering you made it into an act of triumph and care for reviled creatures who didn't ask to be made #an ultimate act of charlatan-ism too <3 #someone tells her 'this is how things are' and jewel says 'i think not actually <3' and gets away with it

Honestly, Man-Bat would be such a horrifying creature to stumble across in Gotham? At 8'6, he is HUGE, strong enough to carry off a man in his claws while barely slowing down. He might lack the same intelligence he had as Kirk Langstrom but Man-Bat still has keen problem-solving intellect such as picking up an entire wooden desk and throwing it at Batman to hold him in place long enough for an easy bite to the throat. It's that uncanny area between what was once human vs. a hyperpredator making Man-Bat one of the most dangerous creatures to cross whether he's simply hungry enough or has developed a grudge against you for some reason. You can't outrun him and there aren't many places you can hide because not only can he fly, he's able to squeeze into places you yourself would be able to fit into.

#🦇 || musings #🦇 || headcanons #Sometimes he's a silly bat and sometimes he's nightmare fuel #Man-Bat definitely has those JP velociraptor vibes #Canny enough to figure out simple tasks like opening doors or consider alternative routes if something's blocking his path #You really can't hide either because his sense of hearing is so good #Easily strong enough to pick up the tiniest breath or beating of your heart #He doesn't need to see to be able to catch you! #Cuz there's that echolocation... #Yeah Man-Bat coming after you would NOT be fun #Your only hope of escape would be that he's distracted by easier prey stumbling along or Batman himself appears to save you #Man-Bat can and will hold grudges against people even if they upset him as Kirk #He REMEMBERS #Like Kirk's AWOL when Man-Bat is in control but Man-Bat can fall back on some latent memories to aid his actions #Hence why he didn't attack Francine when she stopped him from mauling Man-Bat he still remembered his wife and love for her #And vice versa when Francine became She-Bat #Ahhh I really must add Francine as a muse sometimes she would be great #Smart and sassy and even MORE dangerous when she's Man-Bat #Because female vampire bats are even bigger and more aggressive than the males :D

i feel like we were sort of robbed when it came to the doctor staying at donnas house. it cut - in my mind - very much to a few days/weeks/months past. but you know that it was a rough start. the doctor Cannot stand still and even if they know they should this time it mustve taken some real getting used to, similar to 11 in power of three

like, the doctors been moved in for one day and has already rewired their house. the toaster now sings as it toasts bread and also can be used as a metal detector. the fridge beeps when you take something out of it that it was saving for later. the doctors repainted the entire house a shade darker. they give him a spare room to stay in but no one in the house ever sees him sleep

#the potential for comedy is so great and the potential of angst is ALSO so great! #the best combo :) #i wanna write this fic eventually #like donna sitting the doctor down and being like #'im so proud of you for not running. im so proud youre staying around. but it also doesnt count if you distract yourself with tasks 24/7 #donna bringing him to some of the school board meetings #the doctor: “oh i used to be a caretaker ! i was great at it!” #donna: *doubt.jpeg* #the doctor and rose going on some adventures #(nothing too dangerous - they have to run one time and screaming her name while they escape breaks something in his hearts) #(it gets better over time - slowly but surely - past pain being replaced with new joy) #time heals all wounds but you have to sit still enough to let time catch up #personal #dw spoilers

dreams in media: "i dreamt i was on a beach and as i walked along it, i met my soulmate, and it ended with us driving off into the sunset!"

my dreams IRL: me in my childhood home panicking trying to find my missing shoe because the big yellow school bus is coming but i'm never gonna find the shoe because my brain doesn't want me to leave the house because it hasn't loaded up the next location

#seriously this is a recurring dream for me #the setting and 'missing item' usually changes but it's clear my brain struggles with set changes during my dreams LOL #it would literally rather just dick me around by forcing me to do repetitive impossible tasks like find my lipstick #i can't even escape my ADHD in my dreams dammit
