❖ — When Ao’nung saw you for the first time, he held a dislike for you because you were a “demon”. After everything his mother told him about the sky people, he assumed that you were the same. He was cold toward you in the beginning, but with a mix of your beauty and charming personality, he began to grow feelings for you and soon after, you both became a couple.
❖ — The first thing he noticed about you was your height. In his eyes, you were the height of a child, which always caused him to crack some type of joke that you didn’t find funny or amusing.
“You are so little, I could literally crush you.”
“How are you and Tuk almost the same height?!”
❖ — He thought your height was an advantage for some things and one of them was ‘spicy time’.
“You are eye level with my waist, that will come in handy when you suck my-” Your eyes widen at his comment and you hit him in the chest, forcing him to not finish his sentence. “Shut up, skxawng! That’s all you think about!”
❖ — Whenever you and the group hang out, somehow his arm always manages to rest on your head. He saw you as his “personal armrest” and he took advantage anytime both of you were standing next to each other. You always tell him that he’s being annoying, but deep down you love him being comfortable with you in that aspect.
❖ — When both of you talked, you always had to look up to him, which gets aggravating at times when your neck starts to hurt. Ao’nung noticed this, so sometimes when both of you talk, he’d sit down and let you stand so both of you will be at eye level.
❖ — Walking around the village would be tiring for you at times especially since everyone around you had bodies more equipped for the environment. Whenever you began to lag behind, Ao’nung became your mode of transportation.
“Do you want me to carry you the rest of the way?”
Ao’nung would let you get on his back and he would take you wherever the destination was, which you appreciated because you didn’t know how much longer you were going to last.
❖ — When he started teaching you the way of water, you were eager, but it was hard for you, being human in a Na’vi environment wasn’t easy. Whenever you were having doubts or he heard you mumble about giving up, he was right there encouraging you (sometimes with spicy incentives).
“You got this, syulang! I’m right here with you.”
“If you hold your breath a little longer this time, when we finish our lesson, I’ll take you to my marui and do that thing you like.” He ends his sentence in a singsong tone and a small smirk on his face knowing that his words would motivate you.
After he said that, you held your breath twice the time you did before. Ao’nung was so proud of you that he couldn’t wait to take you home. He carried you into a secluded area of the jungle and happily rewarded you for breaking your record.
❖ — Whenever you and him held hands he made sure not to squeeze your hand too tight because he didn’t want to crush you. He always made sure to treat you delicately because he knew how fragile humans were to Na’vi.
“Ao’nung, can you give me a real hug? I haven’t seen you all day.”
“I don’t wanna squeeze you too tight or I’ll hurt you.”
❖ — Whenever you spend the night in his marui, both of you would cuddle together and you would have the best time being the little spoon. Feeling his big arms curled around your small waist, burying your head in his broad chest, him every so often giving your skin a soft kiss made you want to melt instantly. Him being so affectionate and gentle with you was hands down one of the things you loved most.
❖ — He loves you and your human body and wouldn’t trade you for anyone on Pandora. The only person he wants is you. You were his precious tawtute and he loved you with every fiber in his body.

I hope you enjoyed🩷!

Eren Boyfriend Headcanons pt 2
Modern Eren headcanons for GNreader, a continuation of pt 1
Tumblr media
*** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** ***
Texts you goodnight and good morning without fail, but sometimes the good morning texts come at like 12am bruh
He will buckle your seat belt for you
He will open the door for you and if you forget to buckle right away he'll just tell you to scoot over and do it for you before buckling his own
Thinks it's funny to tighten your hood around your face randomly
Absent-mindingly tracing hearts and shapes on you while cuddling
Will call you brat, which he started as a joke to make fun of Levi and now it is unironically a part of his vocabulary much to his dismay
He thinks you being hangry is the adorable even if you're a total demon because of it, in fact, the meaner you get the cuter because he can just poke all the more fun at you when he buys you food and you immediately switch up all sheepishly (which he also loves)
An extra careful driver with you in the car which can then lead to some road rage towards others who aren't, but it never goes past a mean look, the bird, and a couple insults in the privacy of the car. He also deffo does that hot arm hold to you when he brakes too hard and he'll give a little cheeky smile and apology after
Will play Pokemon Go with you and go on Pokemon Go dates where you guys walk the routes and go on hikes or walks around the city to catch pokemon and he always buys you snacks and lunch/dinner during srry but im still in my pokemon go phase
His favorite pokemon is Psyduck
yknow that video where some womans boyfriend/husband was covering the sharp edge of a table while she was on the verge of bumping into it all distracted?? Yeah, that's him. He will cover corners for you and always makes sure you won't clumsily hurt yourself and will watch your step for you depending on how clumsy you are
but at the same time he is constantly trying to trip you and shoves into you with his whole body while walking and tries to push you into puddles like a child
He is fiercely loyal of all of his loved ones and has/will fight anyone on sight for them, as we all know, but he is also very protective of their dreams
He keeps tracks of all his friends and familys most treasured goals/dreams and behind the scenes he is also helping make them come true if he can and/or congratulating them on their progress that no one else may notice and he even will send related things to them like articles or posts
so naturally, things you're really passionate about he will look into and maybe even get into it too
I feel like his mom would have enrolled Eren and Mikasa as junior life guards, she did amazing and really liked it and Eren had fun and was good but didn't care to do it again. Armin went to the wave/beach every day just to hang out with them still, and sometimes Eren abandoned duty or snuck away during a lesson to pick seashells with him
Speaking of, Eren has a mini seashell collection from him and Armin picking them together. He dates each seashell and has given you a couple that he thought you'd like
Because of the whole lifeguard thing, he knows CPR and some basic first aid and the friend group always goes to him if they need extra medical help and he goes straight into his rare mom mode
Him and Mikasa kissed once in a 7 minutes of heaven game in freshmen year of high school, and afterwards decided they were better as friends and never even told Armin until a drunken night of confessions between the three senior year, the night before graduation
He will and has sacrificed himself in little ways for his friends and family, and would do so in bigger ways if the situation ever called for it
He LOVES kissing you
Kisses every morning, before leaving, coming home, when he's bored, when he's excited, when he's sad, all of it. He could be leaving from the dinner table to go to the bathroom and would still kiss you goodbye
He loves making out with you and puts on a romantic playlist he made when you guys hang out and make out in his car he's so cheesy but in a cool way
He thinks you don't realize it's the same playlist but it only has like six songs that just repeat and you have to wrestle him to make you a partner on the playlist so you could add more
When a song you added comes up he'll stop whatever yall are doing just to tell you it was a good choice lmao
He likes flavored Chapstick, but his favorite is vanilla
Tumblr media
Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoyed!!

Hey angel, i love easy mode so much, that I needed to request you something 🥺 can you write an one shot based on this tik tok
https://vm.tiktok.com/ZM2HGg4h8/
And in the end ellie fucks you to teach you a lesson goddddd pls
hey babe thank you so much!!! and thank you for the ask i’m feral for gamer!ellie😭 i hope you like it!
warnings: SMUT OBVI SO MDNI
you were lying on the sofa with your feet in ellie’s lap whilst she played her video game. she kept switching back and forth between leaning forward, arms resting on her knees saying things like “fuck, come on, you fucker” etc and leaning back when it was less intense. whilst sometimes you found her game rage really funny, sometimes it just turned you the fuck on. this was one of those times so you decided to have some fun with it.
“baby, remember that girl i told you about who also plays this game?”
she didn’t look at you, her eyes completely glued to the screen.
“ummm, no?” her fingers moved rapidly on the controller.
“well anyway, she was telling me she’s got to the highest level or highest ranking or whatever and i was saying that you were trying to do that but were struggling so she offered to come over and give you some tips.”
this ‘girl on the highest level’ didn’t exist but it was worth the lie for the way ellie squinted her eyes and had a look of disbelief on her face.
“tips? she wants to give me tips?”
“yeah, i thought it was nice of her to offer,” you said sweetly. she just scoffed and carried on playing.
“i’m gonna text her and say she can come over for a game night sometime.”
“i don’t think you are.”
“why?”
“i don’t want this girl to come over and give me tips, fuck that.”
“but i thought you wanted to level up?”
“i don’t care.”
she was starting to get defensive and you had to stifle a laugh.
“but she really wanted to help!”
“well, she can go fuck herself,” she grumbled.
“ellie!”
she ignored you. you watched her long fingers moving quickly over the buttons on the controller.
“fine, i’ll just message her and tell her not to bother.”
“sounds good to me.”
“or maybe i’ll ask her to come over and teach me how to play.”
for the first time, ellie looked at you before looking back at the tv.
“why the fuck would you need to do that…”
“maybe i wanna learn and i mean i’d be learning from one of the best,” your tone was teasing and you could see her jaw clench. she was pissed off and it made your stomach knot.
“ellie.”
“what.”
you let out the laugh you’d been holding in and she slammed on pause, throwing the controller down. she grabbed your ankles in her lap and pulled them harshly until your ass hit her thigh and you were lying on your back.
she leaned over you, grabbing your cheeks in between her fingers. her other hand rubbing soft circles on your bare thighs.
“something funny, baby?”
“n-no, ellie.”
“you tryna make me jealous?”
you shook your head no. her hand crept further up your thigh under your skirt.
“don’t lie to me, or else i won’t give you what you want.”
it was amazing how quickly you could go from being smug and teasing her to being completely at her mercy, letting her do whatever she wants. she released your cheeks and brushed her thumb lightly over one.
“now tell me what you want.”
you stuttered not being able to get your words out.
“don’t go shy on me now, baby,” she squeezed your thigh before hooking her finger in your underwear.
“do you want me…here?”
you nodded frantically.
“speak up.”
“y-yes, please.”
“there you go.”
she pushed your legs apart, exposing your pantie covered cunt. she immediately started rubbing circles on your clit through the thin fabric and you moaned. she leaned down to kiss you before moving her lips to your ear.
“gonna have you coming so hard for me you won’t even fucking remember that girl.”
your back arched as you started grinding on her hand.
“i need more.”
“do you deserve more?”
“ellie, please.”
she smiled wickedly.
“you’re so cute.”
her teasing was getting too much and you just really needed her to fuck you. you tried to catch her lips in a kiss but she moved away making you whine.
she pulled your underwear down and tossed them aside, shifting so that she was sat right in front of your exposed pussy. she glided a finger through your folds, feeling how wet you were. you pulled your top up so you could play with your tits and she smirked.
“you’re so fucking needy for me, aren’t you?”
she started rubbing your clit again and you pinched your pebbled nipples.
“yes.”
“only like it when i teach you, huh?”
her movements quickened.
“oh, fuck, yes yes, only you.”
“good girl.”
she replaced her fingers with her thumb and pushed two fingers inside you, fucking them in and out. you whimpered and your eyes rolled back.
“look at me,” she ordered and you did. she looked down at where her fingers kept disappearing into your dripping cunt.
she then leaned over you and wrapped her other hand around your neck. you looked up at her with pleading eyes.
“think you can take another finger, baby?”
you nodded and she pushed a third in, stretching you. you gasped and moaned as she hit your sweet spot over and over, the sloppy wet sounds filling the room.
“ellie, i’m gonna–“
“come, baby, fuck.”
your moans were animalistic as you came, feeling something gush out of you. her hand let go of your neck and after a couple more pumps she pulled her fingers out. they were dripping.
“you fucking squirted, baby.”
she had the smuggest smile on her face as she lied on top of you to give you a kiss. she then put her fingers in her mouth to taste you.
“bet no one else could get you to do that.”

Hello! Can I request a jinx, Ekko, vi and Caitlyn separate of a readers ex gf or bf coming around and trying to get back with them and how they react to it? Thank you!
Oof, an ex can really mess things up, or at least make shit awkward even at the best of times.
Pairing: Jinx, Vi, Ekko, Caitlyn x Reader
Tags: fluff, slight angst, established relationship, hurt/comfort, kissing, jealousy, feelings of insecurity, PDA, showing off
A/N: Trying to write some more Arcane content cause I've been stuck creatively with it for a while ugh.
Tumblr media
Jinx wouldn't take it very well, someone trying to come between you two now that your relationship is just getting started. She doesn't want to think that you'd leave her but she believed that before about others too.
Noticing that you have no intention of that but that its your ex who is being the pushy one here she goes into her scary, protective mode. She doesn't kill your ex, not right now at least, but she'd not above some very well illustrated threats and maybe a few little bombs thrown in their direction.
"Don't let me see ya talkin' ta sugar here ever again. Ya had your chance and you blew it. They're with me now, ain't no way I'm letting ya have them now that you've come crawling back. Come on sugar, I'm taking ya somewhere more fun, where this loser won't disturb us."
Tumblr media
Vi isn't afraid to break a few bones for you, or be the cause of broken bones for you. Your ex has nothing on her, everyone knows that. But... call her a little evil, she has something better in mind then just walking up and decking your ex in the face.
Kissing you right in plain view. That hurts more then any punch she could throw, letting your ex know how good you're having it with her. Looking over there before spinning you around and pulling you into her lap is all part of her showing off, well that and flexing as she spins you around and drags you past your ex, flipping them the bird while you have that goofy, happy smile on your face.
"That's your ex huh sweet stuff? Man, did your taste improve when you met me. Raised your standards sky high I bet. They were good to you right? Need me to go back in there and teach them a few lessons? Oh, well... I'm actually a little disappointed. I always wanted to be the cool girlfriend who kicks the ex's butt."
Tumblr media
Ekko is protective over you, like he is of everyone from the Firelights. Of course he knew one of the Firelights was your ex so there was no getting away from the awkwardness of the situation even if he tried to.
He starts walking around holding hands, kissing your cheek and whispering in your ear, a sort of passive aggressive show of your relationship to everyone else. He won't be hostile to his teammates but he needs to let your ex know that he no intention of just letting them walk into your relationship.
"They still following you around Firefly? I know its sort of inevitable, just wanna make sure you're doin' okay. Sweet that you think I'm being cute but I'm actually trying to be intimidating here. Not working is it? Should I bring out the mask? No cause you can't kiss me when I have it on? Not funny."
Tumblr media
Caitlyn is more used to seeing her exes and hiding away. She doesn't have many but they're usually somewhere at her parents parties. Getting to play the jealous, overprotective girlfriend is new for her. Doesn't need to try very hard, her sharp looks do wonders.
Or horrors in the case of your ex. She keeps a protective hand on the small of your back for the rest of the night and makes sure to cast one last glance at your ex, smirking at them, looking very smug when you leaned to kiss her cheek.
"We should get going now darling, there's only so much angry staring I can do when you look so ravishing at my side. Do you think I sent the message loud and clear? I suppose I could have done more but... well I think I caused enough scenes at events in the past. Thank you for that kiss, I think that was the final nail on the coffin for them."

Click Me For Part 1!
𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐨𝐦 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐬…
Warning! This Series Includes: Spoilers to Genshin Impact Lore & The Characters Might be OOC!
So. You had no idea where the heck you are (technically speaking), and you're talking to the Traveler and Venti. And Paimon. You've barely spent a day here, and things were already looking like they were becoming more and more like a source of lore material.
Which, you suppose, you kinda are. You just got a bombed dropped in your face about being Istaroth not even thirty minutes ago. And, the more you think about it, the more you wonder if your friends (you only have 3 others in your friend group—it was a reasonable assumption) are the rest of the Shining Shades of the Primordial One. You all probably were, if sagau fanfics taught you anything.
"Uh...Venti, who is this?" Paimon asks, her little floating-self hovering in mid-air. She had the classical hand to her chin as she thought, her head pushed forward as if to get a better look at you. "I don't think we ever met her before."
"Ah, allow me to introduce you to an old friend of mine!" Venti cheers, plastering on a smile. Damn, ain't this bard good at hiding his emotions. You wish you had that ability. "This is my friend, Y/N. They recently just arrived to Mondstadt, and they got curious about the Tree of Vanessa, so this humble bard just had to show the newcomer the legendary tree of where the fallen Lionfang Knight hero rests!"
The Traveler tilts their head at Venti, before looking over at you. You gulp, trying not to show how unnerved you were. You knew that the Traveler was pretty keen (in some things), so they no doubt picked up Venti's definition of "old friend."
How funny, because you probably know little to nothing about the bard next to you, smiling as bright as the sun as if the world needed extra brightness (like discord bright mode, honestly. It's giving you an eyesore staring at it).
"Oh, alright!" Paimon cheers, not even thinking about anything the bard just said. "So—where does your friend originate from?" She peers curiously at you, and you finally realize that Paimon must've caught on a similar definition to the Traveler. Except, you assume, the Traveler suspected you to be a god of some sort, while Paimon thinks you were a archon that was just visiting Mondstadt.
And it's only now you realized that you had no mora. And it's not like you tried to summon your Paimon Menu—Venti's fiasco of making you feel like an abnormal T-Rex got caught in the way before you could try it.
"I...uh..." You stutter out, coughing into your fist. God dang it, since when was it this hard to talk all of a sudden? You were doing so well before! "I originate...from Mondstadt, but I moved to Inazuma."
It was basically true. Enkanomiya was technically found in Inazuma near Watatsumi Island. And, according to Venti, if Istaroth was to be worshipped by the people of Mondstadt, you basically just moved nations so that you wouldn't go into slumber from the lack of such.
"Oh, that makes sense!" Paimon says, smiling with relief that you weren't an archon. The Traveler looks at you curiously, but you can tell there is some suspicion in their eyes. Clearly, they weren't buying your alibi just yet. "So, uh—is Venti giving you a tour around the place?"
"Yes," you immediately blurt out, which you kind of regret. "He uh—he saw me cluelessly looking around and—you know—uhm, kindly provided to be my tour guide around the Region of Mondstadt."
"Ehe, indeed I did!" Venti exclaims, puffing out his chest. Damn, was this guy good at bluffing. Share me your skills, You begged. You seriously need some acting lessons. "In fact, we were just about to be on our way to the Temple of A Thousand Winds!"
"Ooh, that's cool!" Paimon says happily. "If you'd like, we can show you the way there!" Venti gasps dramatically.
"Are you saying that I'd get us lost?" He pouts. "Come on, have some faith in this travelling bard!" Paimon and the Traveler give each other a quick look, clearly a little...doubtful, to say the least. Paimon turns around to face him.
"Yes," She says, crossing her arms with a deadpan. "Tone Deaf Bard, how exactly are we sure that you aren't getting Y/N lost? Wait a second—Paimon's got a better question! Did you had any alcohol?" You snort.
"Ehe, nope!" Venti smiles. "Surprising, isn't it? I didn't even have the time before I decided to help!"
"Yeah...Paimon doesn't believe you for some reason."
And that's how you managed to get the Traveler and Paimon to help you find the Temple of A Thousand Winds! Boy, you had no idea how the heck this happened, but at least you found it and the Traveler was here! (Assuming that Venti's theory is correct, and the Traveler has to have something to do with you being Istaroth somehow—)
"Holy cow...So this is what it looks like..." you mutter to yourself. You've only ever seen it as through a gaming computer, and even then, the images were still pixels. But this? This was a whole new level.
"Ehe, yep!" Venti cheers. "This is the Temple of A Thousand Winds for you!"
"Uhm, you mind if I take a look around?" You look at the others, waiting for a confirmation. Listen, Venti piqued your interests, and now you're curious to find the a broken statue of Istaroth or something around here.
"Sure, but be careful!" Paimon warns. "If you want, the Traveler and I can accompany you!"
"I have Venti." You point at the dude beside you. "Isn't he enough?"
"With how much Paimon knows of Tone-Deaf Bard, I doubt he'll help you." Paimon crosses her arms, a deadpan on her face. The Traveler chuckles, shaking their head in a fond way.
So, naturally, you all just stuck together, trying to find the one thing you came for—which Venti was trying to hint at which directions you need to go from the very beginning of the search, and of course—you catching absolutely none of them, for several hours.
"So uh, not to pry, Y/N, but what exactly are you looking for?" Paimon questions. Oh yeah—"not to pry" your backside. You sigh—there's no point in lying.
"I'm looking for a Statue of Istaroth," you explain. "I...I heard this place worshipped them and I got curious, so I wanted to see it for myself."
"Hm...Paimon's never seen a Statue of Istaroth from all the times we've been here." She looks over at the Traveler. "But sure, let us help!" Her eyes sparkle as she gets an idea. "Ooh, maybe there's some more hidden treasure around here! Come on, Traveler, let's go find the trea—uh, the Statue of Istaroth!"
You found it during the evening, but you could care less—your legs were dead tired just running around, avoiding monsters, avoiding whatever debris that was suddenly appearing, and standing around like a fish out of water. You need a break from this nuisance—you still weren't even sure yourself if you were indeed Istaroth!
"What kind of god is that?" Paimon wonders out loud. "Paimon's never seen a Statue of Seven look like that before!"
"That," Venti starts with a smile. "Is the Statue of Istaroth, the God of Time."
His voice echoes somehow, and despite the not-so cold atmosphere, you feel shivers crawling down your spine. Were you really Istaroth?
"Huh....Hey, Traveler! Since it looks like it's similar to a Statue of Seven, maybe you can try resonating it!" Paimon gasps. "Just think—what if you get some extra cool powers from it?!" Her galactic eyes sparkle.
The Traveler complies with a smile, reaching out to touch the Statue of Istaroth. You watch with bated breath, unsure of how to react in the current situation you were practically thrown into.
A huge blast of anemo explodes, filling the entire debris around you shaking off old dust as the anemo swirls around all of you. Venti was practically the only one who was smiling, and for once, you can read him like an open book—he was reminiscing as the familiar anemo energy continues to swirl and explode.
When it finally settles, you feel something wave through your chest—as if a breeze has somehow find a tunnel in straight through your entire body, sending small shivers throughout.
"Huh...so it did nothing?" Paimon's disappointment was evident on her face, just as much as the confusion. "That's strange...Paimon's never seen a Statue of Seven act like that."
Just as Venti open his mouth to speak, a loud, booming voice, awfully similar to your own, echoes.
"𝐆𝐨𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐨𝐦…𝐖���𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐎𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬?"

WE ARE SO BACK
Tumblr media
SO LESSON 21 DROPPED LAST NIGHT OUT OF THE BLUE.......
Lesson 20 here!
LET'S DO THIS.
We start with a bit of whiplash because the brothers are getting ready for RAD in their school uniforms, but RAD is not quite open yet. There's still two months for the Founding Ceremony, and today the brothers are helping around the school doing chores. They're also excited you're walking with them, Mammon the most of all. Love the spotlight on him always, they even call him out on his eagerness lmao.
Tumblr media
Satan is having trouble with a jar of marmalade, and you try to help him with magic... but it's not working. And it's not the jar. It's clear something is wrong with your magic, but since you still use a spell to stop the jar from spilling all over the brothers (and it works), it gets forgotten quickly. Weird.
You can tell something is in Lucifer's mind, being the most perceptive of the brothers. I think he's noticed that failure at the beginning wasn't just a fluke. Something is wrong with your magic, but apparently you brush it off since the mc doesn't comment on it again.
Then I just got excited because WE HAVE A NEW SONG MAP!! "IT'S MY PARTY!" IS FINALLY HERE! And it has a new pretty background too! We also have new UR cards in hard mode ;u;
Tumblr media
Also in normal mode we have new cards too, and I usually don't pay attention to those, but this time they caught my attention because they had German on the titles for some reason and I'm a language nerd so I just can't help but point them out.
For example, Lucifer's card is called "Prideful Eins", Mammon is "Greedy Zwei" and Levi is "Envious Drei". Sounds cool and that's probably all there is to it aaaa ANYWAYS BACK TO THE GAME-
Some shenanigans happen where they all want you to fix their uniform. Nothing out of the ordinary.
Tumblr media
LMAO rip
When we arrive Mephisto is already with Diavolo. He tries to get a rise out of Lucifer, but he gets ignored and quickly gets distraced since he's "the best suited demon to take care of RAD's newspaper". Barbatos asks us to keep an eye on the brothers as they do their chores by pairs, and we have to bring a report to Lucifer about their performance as well. The job of a devilsitter is never over.
Simeon and Luke are still around, but they're only staying until the Founding is done. They're not enrolled in as exchange students just yet after all, and Luke's sad about it. Simeon calls him out on it www I love this child.
Anyways you arrive to the first pair and then you get this ominous title that confirms that yes. Something, definitely, is not right.
Tumblr media
First we have Satan and Belphie, who got demoted to weeding duty after Lucifer caught them slacking in the library (they were supposed to be cleaning but went off looking for curses instead. Of course.)

Satan has no right to be this funny is2g.
However they're close to fighting, and Satan is done with this ardous task, so he decides, being the smartest person in the area, to summon a hellfire salamander to burn the weeds. He might be the smartest around but it wasn't his turn with the braincell today, huh.
Anyways it goes bad, as expected, but we can see what this little plot is for: it's not to cause trouble, but to show you that yes, your magic is growing weak. You can protect both brothers with water, but none of you can send the salamander back. Thankfully, Solomon appears out of the blue and solves this mess. But he also notices that something's wrong.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He says this when you ask. Alright then, keep your damn secrets.
Next up are Asmo and Beel, and again we can see something is definitely wrong. Asmo asks us to help them to cheat by using magic so their cleaning goes faster. You have the option to comply or refuse. I refused, and so Asmo used his charm on me. AND IT WORKED. I THINK IT SHOULDN'T HAVE WORKED????
Regardless of your choice, magic is used, and then it gets out of control. The brooms/mops move on their own, but so do Beel and Asmo and now they can't stop their bodies as they move around cleaning non-stop. You have to undo the spell before anyone gets hurt.
Tumblr media
mc PLEASE
We use the "stay" command to stop them since we can't find another way to undo the spell, and it works... But it's not the same. It feels weird, and even Beel and Asmo mention it.
Tumblr media
They've stopped dropping hints and just outright said it: our magic is fucked.
Now, since by using stay we made Beel and Asmo fall on us, Beel has to carry us to the classroom to look for something to heal our ankle that just got sprained by this mess. BUT BEEL PIGGYBACK MOMENT.
Levi and Mammon are inside the classroom, also ignoring their cleaning duties, obviously. They're on their phones instead. Mammon immediately gets bossy when he sees that you are hurt, I love it. But again, things go wrong, just that this time it's not how you might expect it. You find an ointment for your leg, but...
Tumblr media
Mammon starts acting weird as well, as if he's blinded by greed and nothing else, like he can't even see you: he only sees profit and ignores that you need help. That he's not actually joking makes it look really bad.
I believe they wrote Mammon in this part to be such a dickhead so you would definitely notice that something is wrong. Like, they exaggerated his sin so bad so every single person can tell that something's wrong. I'm not really bothered by it (but I do feel a bit sorry for him kjdsf) because not only I think that's the reason, but I also think he won't be the only one changing. Personally, I think that they're going to be fully turning into the avatars of what they embody, and it's up to us to help them to keep their shit together.
The present brothers (Levi and Beel) call out Mammon, understandably. Simeon comes in to cut the fight before it starts and uses a healing spell on your leg. Problem solved, except now we got confirmed that shit's starting to go down and we don't know from which direction this mess is coming.
The chores are done, so time to head back with everyone and give the report to Lucifer.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I'm crying. I mean, he's not wrong.
They were all walking disasters so of course they get a lecture from their older brother.
Barbatos brought cookies, the sweetheart please give me your birthday card I am suffering over here I have no vouchers and he's hidden a lucky coin in one of the cookies that supposedly brings good luck to whoever carries it. And we got it!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I love this option. We give it to Simeon for good luck (I can't help but think that mc is thinking about the Simeon in the present, who was demoted down to a human......) but he insists that you shouldn't give it to him in exchange from him helping you with the ankle before...
So Mammon yoinks the coin instead. Wow.
Tumblr media
He gets called out on it. And yeah. He's definitely off the rails.
Tumblr media
Finally we notice, as the mc, that Mammon is acting strange.
Tumblr media
And so does Luci, as Mammon keeps talking about money on the way home, happily flipping his coin. He's not calling him out on his behaviour, though. I wonder if he's just watching so he can get a better grasp of the situation. He hasn't mentioned a thing about our magic failing this morning either.
Mammon bumps into Belphie, who's suddenly stopped, and the coin falls and gets lost on the street. Mammon gets unreasonably angry at Belphie about his coin. driving home the greed point. Belphie feels bad, and finally, Mammon seems to realize that he's going overboard and just walks home :(
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
My favourite part here was that when you talk to the brothers about how Mammon has been acting strange, you get points with both Lucifer AND Mammon.
The lesson ends with us having a bit of a stressful talk with Solomon back at our home.
Tumblr media
I assume that's what he noticed when he used his magic to fucking yeet the hellfire salamander away.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Well shit.
Tumblr media
So we have these two months to do the Pacts again, or we're screwed.
Tumblr media
At least he's trying to cheer you up.......
Then he finishes dinner while we're not looking and it's the end of lesson 21 so I assume we just fucking died on the spot.
I'm joking AFTER THIS WE HAVE A VIDEO CALL. PLOT RELATED. AT LAST. IT'S BEEN SO LONG OH MY GOD I NEED MORE OF THOSE I don't mind the models I've grown used to them. They're fun to watch and they're fully voiced!! It's basically you, Satan, Belphie and Asmo talking about Mammon, who hasn't gone to eat dinner even :( they just tell you not to worry, as if this won't be turning into everyone's problem soon hfjdhf oh dear.
It's short but I hope there's more calls in the future...
The extra lesson is right after Mammon left, where Beel, you and Luci go to buy groceries for the House of Lamentation. They give him a long-ass list of extra things to buy and this poor man is just Tired and Done. But he does it anyways for his siblings.
Tumblr media
There's a bit of a memory game going on during this whole lesson where you have to remember everything the brothers asked of Lucifer and help him get the stuff. They did it too in the classroom bit where you sprained your ankle. I don't know if you showing you have incredible memory (or not) is going to be relevant, but it's fun. C-check the log? What log? Cheater? Me? I don't know what you're talking about-
Lucifer only tells you "not to worry" about Mammon and sadly that had the total opposite effect on me because I'm sure this fucking stupid man said this bit because his Pride is showing, just like Mammon's Greed, and will try to solve it on his own. This is going to be a smackfest of mc vs the brothers and we're going to go ONE by ONE telling them to tone it down, isn't it.
Since this lesson was shorter than the others, I also went ahead and did the hard version. I wanted the extreme version of "it's my party!", but not yet :( anyways the hard lesson scene is ahout Mammon and Simeon.
Tumblr media
Simeon is having trouble choosing what to add to his hot cocoa when Mammon walks in. Simeon seems chill towards Mammon, being the angel that he is, even if Mammon basically took your gift away from him.
Mammon looks like he's about to say something about the coin, I think he was about to apologize, but eventually switches the topic to Simeon's choice dilemma and just says this:
Tumblr media
That can't be tasty, Mammon......
Tumblr media
What Mammon said reminds Simeon of this so he just pulls a uno reverse on Mammon, who pretends that doesn't remember. I love this angel so much.
Mammon says that he's going out for a walk, but Simeon knows that he's going out to look for the lucky coin, so he goes and places a blessing of luck on Mammon so he finds it and sends him off.
Also the cocoa tastes disgusting. That's where the hard 21 scene ends lmao.
I have to say, I love the conflict that's building up. Like, I know in ogOM Mammon was a bit of the butt of the joke and got called out a lot on his greed, and I think a few people aren't going to like this lesson because it feels like it's going back to that point, but I personally don't mind it as much because it's not "part of Mammon" as it was in the og (it wasn't even THAT bad either, if anything, it might be just like when you two first met), but it feels like a "plot point", exaggerated too so you notice the change from how he's been in Nightbringer up to this switch. Hell, they even want YOU to see that he's going overboard by taking the coin you gift to Simeon when he politely declines it. Not even YOU are exempt of his greed, as you can see when he refuses to give you the ointment for your swollen ankle unless you pay him, and that by itself is the biggest red flag I've ever seen on Mammon tbh. Like, damn, they really wanted you to see it jdsfsf.
I wanted even more conflict so that's what Solmare is giving me I GUESS lmao
And I love that the pacts thing is moving forward with a sense of urgency now. We have two months left as our power runs low or else we're getting stuck here forever AND we're also growing weaker while the brothers are, for some unknown reason, (potentially and just one brother for now) becoming assholes by fully embodying their own avatars. We've been OP for too long. Time to get humbled. I bet Michael is watching with popcorn.
There's also no sign of Michael yet btw, as expected. Seeing the direction this story bit is taking, I feel he's not gonna show on this arc just yet. We have this mess to solve before the Founding Ceremony, so maybe after? I wonder if Solmare will tease a silhouette at least lol.
Can't wait for the trouble.
Edit: trouble is here on LESSON 22 AAAAA

I saw someone saying Hawk was acting “arrogant” this season and that’s funny to me because the only true instance of arrogance we saw from him was when he told Chozen to come at him during the egg lesson. Otherwise, Hawk’s just firmly aware of his own power, which is considerable. What he struggles with is when to let that power out.
Like at the water park, he clearly did not want to have to deal with CK but it’s not like he could just let them bully Anthony. And when Kyler and Kenny shit-talk him, he throws back about whether or not they want to take on the champ, basically warning them against Bullying a Dragon. But when Tory intervenes and tells him their dojos should just stay on separate sides of the park, Hawk sees that little kid who’s looking up to him and decides to deescalate and agree to the truce.
When the other MFs break the truce and re-escalate conflict, Hawk still agrees with the fair solution of a race with Tory. It’s only when Kenny cheats and puts a hole in his tube that Hawk finally loses his temper and basically tells Kenny to put up or shut up, leading to their fight. At which point Robby has no choice but to intervene in order to protect Kenny because Hawk was firmly in “I didn’t start this fight but I’m gonna end it” mode.
Fast-forward to the Sekai Taikai qualifier, Kenny’s reached the point of frustration where he even threatens Robby, prompting Hawk to tell Robby he’ll shut him up. It’s only because Robby asks Hawk to not go too hard on Kenny (because Kenny was in the same position the both of them were in) that Hawk holds back and lowers his guard enough that Kenny’s able to land the silver bullet.
But despite Kenny’s victory and attempts at rubbing it in his face with the “faux-hawk” nickname, what does Hawk do? Ultimately lets it roll off his back. He later tells Kyler you win some, you lose some, that’s life. He doesn’t go out of his way to get revenge on Kenny for his loss, even tho he has the power to do so.
Hawk will probably never embrace the pacifism of Miyagi-Do the way Robby does. He’s more the Chozen to Robby’s Daniel in that regard.

(obm rant ahead it's long)
kinda really pisses me off when people dismiss the demand for good writing in dating sims by simply saying "it's a dating sim what do you expect." (and yes this is about a stupid take i saw about obey me specifically on twitter how did you guess.)
like, maybe this is a me thing but if a game is heavily driven by gacha then i am even more obligated to be critical of it. and if i'm going to be investing that much time (and money) into it, i think i deserve Something out of it???
i've complained about this on here so many times but it's genuinely so hard to actually keep progressing in the story (normal mode at least), especially if you're a new player - unless you whale a whole lot, or get extremely unbelievably lucky. and when you get past like, lesson 20 i think? the struggle just seems... meaningless.
why am i waiting four whole days just to level up one card by ONE level, just so that i can get past this one really annoying dance battle, only for the next story to be just... plain bad? and then i have to do it all over again?
like okay, maybe the story does get better in fucking season 3 which is like twenty more chapters away (btw from what i've heard, it kind of just doesn't get better) but as a new player it is just so hard to keep that level of commitment especially if all you're rewarded with is horrible writing and negative character development.
i've played free dating sims with better played out plots and stories than this and it just pisses me off so much because the general "idea" of obey me is SO good and so fun! and the characters you meet are genuinely interesting. although some jokes were objectively cringe i can live with that (i am playing a dating sim, after all...) like spoilers for lesson 16 and above i guess but in my opinion the execution of the whole belphie hating humans and quite literally killing MC was done in a pretty nice way! as well as the backstory cards regarding the brothers (and everyone else other than the MC) and their relationships with each other! for example anytime i think about satan and lucifer's strained relationship i get a little bit emotional - and yes of course sometimes satan's almost childish annoyance towards him can be pretty funny, it's almost always treated as a running gag (even after they "sort it out") - to the point where it's one of satan's defining characteristics (the other is his love for cats and books). and that's it! that's all there is to his presence in the main story for the most part.
the events are somehow even more annoying - (those i can actually play without being frustrated about my level) and the stories always try so hard to squeeze every single dateable character in one scenario. and this ends with all of them feeling like caricatures of themselves and i hate it! so much! because again - these are genuinely really fun characters and they have so much potential! even if the devs want to make MC your typical harem protagonist, they can still do it well but they just aren't and it makes me so mad 😭😭😭
"well raaz stop playing the game then!" i did do that actually for a good amount of time and i came back because solomon birth (fire emoji), also anniversary. but also i feel like the players kinda deserve better. especially given the gacha aspect.
although i do think that the anime and music are genuinely pretty good - it's just kinda frustrating that they're not improving their main product first.
"what was the point of saying all of this?" there was no point at all. im just annoyed that i actually spent time and money on this game. though i will say that i do love the fan creations and people kinda treating the characters like their OCs and giving them the plot and development they deserve.
"this is a really long post why do you complain so much?" at this point im just criticising myself for no reason but also idk! i play a couple of gacha games other than obey me and i've honestly realised that it's the worst and shittiest way to monetise your game. and gacha games deserve at LEAST twice the amount of critical analysis because it could literally be the reason for someone's fucking gambling addiction. idk
good night it is almost three am and i have a road trip to be on tomorrow

So in today's day of eventful events that were not supposed to happen but they did:
I got Carnelian. It's actually a double slap to Dr. Kryo who got my Gnosis, because not only did his wife Surtur visit (for which I have her at pot 5 now and subsequently - folded and leveled her up to 45 with an M2S3) but his other operator of preference came home after he was wondering if it's worth pulling when he barely has anything saved up for Yato-alter.
Tumblr media
I'm slowly driving it back to 12K orundum for those sweet 40 pulls that should definitely totally get me the Noir Corn-alter.
How many posts is it that I mention him? Countless at this point.
Dr. Kryo just picked me up and set off guiding me along the chapters. I finished at 9-14 last time with S9-2 being my best work yet because I need to start unlocking the Salt.
While miles away from the actual goal of 11-2 where I get the T3 Salt, it's still advancing at a speed I doubt I've moved with alone before.
Can't even believe most of these were a two-OP runs. Mostly using Kal'tsit and people like Thorns, Blaze, Mountain. Of course I had the support of Chongyue. And morally supported by the presence of Ling since I need her 100 trust because that ark forsaken Module.
The AFK Lee and Mountain level was really funny, definitely recommend if your Lee is E2 lvl60 to bring a Myrtle or Bagpipe to block the other side until he charges up good. I leaked twice, learned that lesson the hard way.
youtube
Chapter 10 baby, it's time for the Sanguine Arc. Where we fight not the Sanguinearch but definitely something hideous and simmilar. I saw the worms yesterday when Pinkie showed me around the enemies for Chapter 11. Imagine... Leeches. In a trenchcoat. I hate them so much, looking at the enemies is putrid and they're all just slowly moving 20 pixels.
Yet here's the GORGEOUS video for the start of Chapter 10, which is supported by stunning vocals and a goosebump-indusing energy when you see it play on your own screen.
Tumblr media
Gosh, I don't even know what this is but it sure looks like another set of achievements I will need to be getting. Nothing to be tryharding about, surely, as we leave the border between 'Tier 2 hardness level + Challenge Mode' and we sink right into 'Tier 3 hardness - which IS the CM' .
Tumblr media
Amiya, it's been a pleasure working with you. Disappointment happened only during the Mandragora fight because I forgot turning Mon3ter skill... So we leaked...
And also one gargoyle got through...
I should go back and do that before future me hates for losing the will to fight Mandra again + just forgetting the run.
Which, spoilers, if you know what you're doing, is actually quite pathetic to fight. Just throw a rock at her and she sits down and pouts for long enough to Surtur/Texas-alter her.
But moving onto chapter 10!
Oh, I remember the good old days of being chapter 7 and suddenly CC10 operation Nuke (Ashring) landed with its fully charged Orbital Space Cannon to give me the sad news that, no, I will not in fact get all the medals.
Tumblr media
Dr. Pinkie joins the conversation just on time to reminesce over how they used to guide me during Ashring. Very fun times.
---
Pinkie: "It's good that you're well aware how the Orbital Space Cannon works now, because for the next 16 operations you'll be doing just that."
Me: "..... WHAT?"
---
Pinkie: "It's alright, the Nuke does only 3000 damage, so as long as your defender has more than that, they should survive."
Me: *Checks Hoshiguma's health*
Hoshiguma: 3158 HP
Pinkie: "Oh, oh no."
Tumblr media
---
Me, Kryo and Pinkie: "HERE IT COMES."
Tumblr media
---
Me: *Pauses to think what to do after the Nuke blows because I can see that Hoshiguma will be blocking and Archetto will be in her range.*
Pinkie: "Oh, it would have been so nice if you had an operator whose skill 2 makes them invulnerable."
Me: *Knows it's not Ethan so I click on Archetto to read what her skill does*
Pinkie: "Oh, you know. Someone who can, potentially, block." *Nervous because the enemies are coming* "Especially since you have one place to guard."
Me: "Do I put her IN the range?"
Pinkie: "YES."
Me: *Drops Specter there*
Pinkie: *Sighs*
---
Hoshiguma: *Dies after the second Nuke*
Pinkie: "A wonderful opportunity to use reinforcements."
Me: *Positions Archetto and Ethan*
Pinkie: "I MEANT SPECTER SKILL."
Me: *Barely surviving the stage* "They're fine, they're all doing very well."
Pinkie: "I think you need to go to more morning sessions."
Me: "NOOoooo..."
---
Me: *Doing kissy noises at the scren*
Pinkie: "There Eve goes, licking the sweat off his armor. Like a dog."
Me: "Hoederer is just so... Mm..."
Tumblr media
---
Me: "Can I catch you for a screenshot with your eyes open?"
Me: *Looks at him*
Me: "Well... Eye... Open..."
---
Me: "Pov, every time I see that my operator who is E2 level 50 is not doing enough damage on an E1 level 30 operation."
Tumblr media
---
Operation 10-4: Warning Shot
Me: "Haha, warning shot."
Pinkie: "Imagine what they'd do if it was a threat."
Tumblr media
Finally, here is a silly bird boy being deployed.

Wintermoor Tactics Club
Rating: 5/5. Delightful story, great writing, intriguing mystery, and fun battles.
Wintermoor Tactics Club is a short and fun RPG where you play as Alicia, a D&D - sorry, C&C - nerd who has to stand up against oppression together with her club. Similar to Midnight Suns (and probably lots of games), this game alternates between turn-based tactical battles, and running around talking to people and completing RPG quests.
Tumblr media
The battles in this game were on the easy side, although they did ramp up the difficulty at the very end. There's also a bunch of challenge missions you can do, which I found quite hard, especially the last couple - I actually used the "no fail" mode to accomplish the final one, which I try not to do usually. So if you're looking for more difficulty, those will provide it.
Tumblr media
The RPG aspect of the game was fun - mostly just running around to talk to people and accomplish fetch quests, but the charming art and setting still made that enjoyable. And by far the best part of the game was the writing and story.
Tumblr media
First off, the main characters are a D&D club, and as a D&D fan myself, the references and theming were so fun to play. More than just fun theming though, the plot itself is gripping. Without too much spoilering, I'll say that a bizarre contest puts the very fate of the C&C club at stake, and the plot only gets stranger from there. The other students at the school have their own odd subplots, and overall there's a fun bizarre feel to the whole place. This works well with the game's central mystery, and the final conclusion was as satisfyingly weird as I could have hoped.
Tumblr media
Additionally, the writing and characters pop. There were a lot of great lines, but nothing felt like a over-written one-liner - just normal conversations among interesting and funny kids. And behind all the good writing, the lesson about friendship and inclusion really shone through. The final ending was heartwarming - and definitely stick around to the epilogue!
So overall, a strong recommend from me if you like fun, sweet, entertaining, and wacky stories about kids playing D&D.

Give me one fun fact of each of your interpretations of the G&W characters
oh fuck tony i love u /p
uhmm fuck this is hard to choose. uh. im doing as many as i can come up with
GaW: real name is Gamen Watch. Gamen is pronounced kind of like how people pronounce Gaben. he makes music. it is literally this accounts content. in his mid 20s so he feels really really weird when people call him "mister" and act like hes older than he is. adoptive brother of the right judge. can freely shapeshift with little to no limitations, as is shown in both rhythm heaven and smash ultimate. very gay, possibly polyamorous. also actually my husband.
Vermin: real name is Vernon Kasperski. can also shapeshift- something which is held alongside his brother- but to a lesser degree than GaW. has numbers on his feet like his brother, like this comic i did shows. has been absurdly tall since about 16 years old, when he had a massive growth spurt. has lightning powers. has a giant soft spot for marcus since theyve been best friends for 11 years as of present day. can drive, but isnt very trustworthy with it because he road rages and also can barely fit in a car. occasionally hits his head on doorframes. probably listens to nu-metal or something. also gay, but caedsexual because of stuff that happened when he was ~8 years old.
Flagman: real name is Carson Kasperski. can shapeshift too, as is shown in the comic above. is not actually a pirate; he calls himself a "treasure hunter" but really he just scavenges old shipwrecks for possibly-valuables, refurbishes them, and then sells them off. is friends with the divers and calls him his "crew" because its part of the bit. makes jokes about his foot numbers being representative of rule 34 because hes funny sillay like that. has powers of psychic manipulation and suggestion. has a very good memory but is also impenetrably stupid so he gets confused a lot. is 5 years older than vernon and uses this as an excuse to affectionately "bully" him sometimes. bisexual and generally male but doesnt care about pronouns
Stanley: full name is Stanley Fairley. was raised basically-catholic so has a lot of hangups about a lot of things. doesnt actually like killing bugs so his sprayer just incapacitates them instead. has a very strong green thumb and cultivates plants by himself. could drive if he wanted to, but bikes everywhere instead. twink. greatly enjoys jazz and basically all of its variations and is actually pretty good at singing, but doesnt do it a lot. would probably be considered more of an alto than a tenor. very very gay for his boyfriend chief.
Chef: real name is Chief Manson. loves cats, and owns a cat named Brisket that he keeps in his food establishment away from the food itself. lets people pet Brisket as long as they are gentle. got the symbol for capsaicin tattooed on his left arm as a joke on being "hot-headed." would probably give cooking lessons if he were any good as a teacher. can drive. is trans (post-top surgery, non-bottom surgery) and very very gay for his boyfriend stanley.
Manhole: real name is Manny O'Connor. had their name legally changed to manny, which is not short for anything. is incredibly perceptive and can immediately pick up on peoples' emotions, but enjoys being very chaotic and silly as a mode of self expression. is incredibly physically powerful and, if they had the element of surprise, could probably actually beat vernon in a fight, which is extremely rare. hates getting wet. gets wet very frequently because of their job. is probably one of the only people physically capable of doing their job. no thoughts gender empty and pansexual.
Oil Panic: real name is Marcus Hermoso. absolutely annoying and pretty stupid but also capable of real emotional sensitivity and is 100% a big brother type. highly compassionate and affectionate if you get to know him. is very good at making friends despite his tendency to be an annoyance. has bad knees because of all of the running around he does at his job. moved out at 18 and took his younger brother with him because his parents were neglectful as hell. can drive, but dear lord, please do not trust him to do it. music taste overlaps incredibly closely with mannys and basically just boils down to "loud, fast, intense electronica." has pretty great endurance despite the fact that the cartilage in his knees is basically gone. bisexual.
Rainshower: real name is Míchael Hermoso. the accent is very important to his name. generally annoyed at the fact that most people say "miguel" and not "míchael." youngest person in the au by far. (14 years old in "present day") doesnt go to public school because marcus is gone all day, so they get tutored while they take care of the house. doesnt actually mind this arrangement very much. more passionate about sports than he might initially look. generally male but doesnt actually know what their thing is so they flip-flop between gender and no gender.
Left Judge: real name is Chen Teller. yes these are different people. very autistic and very introverted. generally quite lucky. special interest is plushies and textile work. custom-makes its own plushes and sells custom-made close-to-seamless clothes made specifically for autistic people online. hates being touched and the sensation of things rubbing against its skin. does not get enough sleep and tends to ignore bodily sensations quite a bit. likes quite a bit of music ranging between orchestral to deconstructed club-type stuff, though it all has to be pretty gentle. is "gender ambivalent," but uses it pronouns because it likes to feel detached from its own personhood. very weird about attraction.
Right Judge: real name is Barrett Riley. probably the only neurotypical person in the entire au. also the only cishet, though the "het" part is pretty ambigous. works an office job by day. not typically very lucky but is jovial about it so he doesnt mind. can drive and is actually one of the better people to trust with driving you around. generally very friendly and accommodating. adoptive brother to GaW. helps around the area of Flat Zone they live in because they want to. probably does yoga. also is probably a vegetarian. is kind of annoyingly positive to many people. cis dude but primarily uses they/them around other people because he likes to copy chen.
anyways ty for asking there u go

Frontiers wrap up
Finished the game last night and had time to simmer it for a bit
will still say its first impression so here goes
- Have to debate whether I like the 3rd or 2nd super sonic boss more, they’re both cool set pieces eitherway. I would said I liked how the 3rd ended more.
- 3rd song is the best tho W.
- I’ve been seeing some opinions of how they address Tails’ “inconsistent” behavior its honestly a double edge sword. I don’t like Forces’ direction but I do respect them trying to stick and just grow from it. Its kinda adds to the whole themeing of the game where the main core 3 are reflecting on themselves and what they want to do moving forward. I feel this aspect would be stronger if it this stick so I’m hoping for it.
- I think it also helps when Sonic is moviating Tails they used more a old and modern example (SA1 and Lost World) for his accomplistments so its using the more mixed stuff in a good way.
- Funny since Flynn was known for fixing the pre-reboot Archie direction and here Frontiers its bout refocusing characters to their more well liked portrayals.
- Actually curious since there been IDW mentions in this game meaning their trying to bridge canon between comics and games how its gonna be incorporate here on out.
- You can really tell their were running out of assets by last 2 islands when 4 th island basicially cutscene island. I will say I like the platforming challenge to reach the last towet as well as the buildup to Sonic’s corruption and how he keeps going despite it all. 
- The plot is simple but I do like how it’s show to us, looking back it cool seeing the visions Sonic gets after a titan are the Ancients piloting it u know?
- Frontiers has def been up there for Sonic portrayals for me. Bring back an aspect IDW focus on the least and how he inspires and encourages people around them. Mostly showcase of how Sage is slowly warming up to Sonic and understanding his way of thinking.
- Funny how this consider Eggman’s more interesting portrayals and its mostly through the egg memos. I think Sage brings a dynamic to him we never seen before and lowkey glad it seen they’re keeping Sage for the future. It would be a waste to use it for one game.
- Like I really like the shot at the end of Sonic being around with the friends he been trying to save the whole game and then pans to Eggman being allow and somewhat mourning for the her daughter is sort of accidently created its good stuff.
- But getting ahead of myself I do like how the 5th island been more on level of challenging the player every they know it just collect all the emeralds, its smaller to thank god consider Chaos’ size.
- The final boss.....I liked it bbbuuutt I can understand why some won’t (have some friends or fall on both the pro and con of it) the first half is a cool setup but I feel wasn’t scaled to the appropirate difficultly level as I cheesed it pretty easily. I was also playing Hard Mode so I got the “secret” and I ironicially I think its what saved it for me cause once you figured out the play style its a matter of timing and focus. I felt like I really earned that victory and final cutscene. That said if they wanted this in the end they should have introduced this mechanic sonner and more frequent as its only in 3 minigames. (the minigames were cute btw)
- I love the credit songs but mann why is Vandalize only play in the lower difficulties? The song too much of a banger to cut okay.
- But yea overal I enjoyed my experience with Frontiers, there alot of flaws I can poiint when playing (night challenges, wanting a mini map,some jank, they really need to upgrade the character models now) but overall this game just feels like a love letter to Sonic fans! Your gonna one thing to enjoy about this game and I hope SEGA learns the right lesson going forward.
I feel excited for Sonic games again!

Throwing Mjolnir, in two steps
When you are an irreverent old swamp witch like me, you get to tell absolutely unbelievable UPG stories as a way to convey messages to people that they might find useful later.
Here's a story about how I learned to throw the Mjolnir.
I am pretty familiar with my deities. I expect there are some people who might say I have no right to be. But that's never stopped me before. I started talking to them and playing with them when I was ten, way back in the early 90s, before they were movie stars. I Decided really early on that Loki was my favorite.
If you read the myths, Thor's hammer gets stolen. It's a thing that happens. So there's no special prohibition against other people lifting it or needing to be worthy or any of that nonsense.
A few years ago, (honestly it could be like five years, time is funny after you turn 40) I spent some time contemplating the relationships between Loki and Thor because I felt like it was important to understand their relationship to better know some things about Loki, and what he might value. I also thought it might be valuable to me to know more about Thor, because I was embarking on some Hard Mode Adult Stuff, and I knew I would need a resilient hand with that.
I have observed from the myths that Thor and Loki were traveling companions. They went on adventures together, and in my mind, they were friends. I think they were probably Really Close. In my mind, I think both deities represent different perspectives on truth and self actualization. I think they both, in their way, act as a bridge between people and gods.
As is my general way, one evening between asleep and awake, I imagined walking into their camp. They were both sitting around by the fire, farting and insulting one another's cooking.
And I did something I've since learned better than to do. I got offered a cup, and I drank with them. Gods drink some wild shit out of rather unremarkable cups, and it can be a crapshoot when Loki is involved. I imagined feeling tipsy and disinhibited. It was fun.
Loki went off to Piss, and I found myself across the Fire from Thor. I'd not worked with him very often, and I found him quite jovial. We talked about the time I offered him Fried Chicken, and the Napkin he wrote on for me when I asked him about the difference between courage and bravery at a bar in another imagining. He asked me how I was doing with what he taught me.
I was blunt, and told him the truth. I've been a fearful creature all my life, and I was having a hard time with it. I understood it, in that words mean things, but I didn't really get it in an experiential sort of way.
And so he got a look on his face. Contemplative. An ornery sort of smile lit his face. "How about a different kind of lesson then?"
"Sure, Why not?
And so he stood up and pulled the hammer from his belt, and held it out to me.
And I was like "O holy shit no."
He made some very good natured growly chuckling dismissive noises, and essentially told me I was being silly. He said wouldn't correct my form like a creepy golf instructor as long as I agreed not to aim at his head.
He explained some of the basics, and said it was very similar to axe and knife throwing, in that you have to try it a couple of times to get feel for the rotational length, so you hit your target with the Head of the hammer, instead of the Handle.
I picked a Rock not far away, and I Threw it.
It made a ringing clang off the rock.
Thor grinned at me, and we both knew I'd done a bad job of it.
"What are you Doing?"
"Throwing the Hammer?"
He grinned wider. "What is Mjolnir For?"
I looked at it. "Breaking Shit?"
Loki snarfed alcohol into his cup and rolled away toward the fire, giggling and coughing.
"Aye. It's for Calling down one of the Mightiest Destructive Powers known to Men and Gods. So you can throw the hammer all day, and it will clang against that rock all day. Or, You Can Destroy the Rock."
"So you have to mean to use it, like you only pull the trigger on a pointed gun if you mean to kill someone with it."
"Exactly."
And so I retrieved the hammer from the dust. And I looked at it, with it's short handle in my small hand, and then I looked at the Rock.
I've been kind of an internally violent person all my life, and I'm pretty well versed in my own suppressed rage. I looked for these things, because I knew they were probably down in storage somewhere near the Bloody Dangerous Human Joy in Absolutely Smashing Shit (tm).
Which I found. And Then I pulled it out, a huge Rush of emotion in my chest, and when I breathed out, I threw the Hammer.
And the lightning connected with the Hammer in the Air, Just before it hit the Rock, And Thor Caught me, and the Hammer when it Returned, Shielding me from being pelted by the bits of granite that had been thrown everywhere.
The camp was all torn to hell.
Loki laughed and laughed.
I was done. And Thor seemed quite happy.
I didn't actually learn step Two from Thor.
I learned it from Skadi, more than a year later.
During a particularly hard time in my life, I got sick. And for about three days, I wandered semi-conscious through my life and my work... And when I was more out than in, for that whole three days, I imagined that I was following Skadi up a fucking snowy mountain trail. It was how I felt. I probably had a fever. Idunno. I didn't take very good care of myself for most of my life. Don't be like me, kids.
When we Finally got wherever the hell we were going, Skadi met a friend, another Jotun. There was a drug deal of sorts.
And we left. And Skadi gave me a tiny black stone. It was hard and too heavy in my hand, and it burned it was so cold. It was like holding Self Hatred.
She told me it was a shard of myself. Something I needed to get rid of. Something that had been holding me back. And we went to a Cave.
Inside the cave, she told me that I should set the stone on the ground. And the stone Stretched Comically, into a roaring, tentacled Demonic Shadow thing. I imagined my sword, and I leapt into fighting with it. It was impossibly strong. It was Impenetrable, and it's tentacles stabbed into the stone of the floor, and I could only barely dive out of the way. When I did slice off the end of a tentacle, or it Broke against the floor, the little pieces animated, and slithered around like evil black slugs, which I stomped if they got too close.
I retreated back to where Skadi was, in a defensive crouch behind a rock.
And then she asked me some leading questions about my encounter with Thor, and whether or not I remembered what to do, and how to do it.
And I told her I did, So she took the goddamn Mjolnir out of her bag, which I guess she'd got from her friend, who had tactically acquired it for her for the purpose of this lesson.
And She told me to be purposeful. And resourceful. And that to really use the power of Mjolnir to work internally, I had to know What was a problem, and what Wasn't. I didn't understand this part of the teaching until this week... She was teaching me the foundations of discretion.
Back then, I realized that she was teaching me to use the Destructive power against thoughts and bad shit in my psyche that were Hurting me. Here was Skadi in this wild and crazy way, Teaching me Selfcare training with Demons and Ball lightning.
I threw the Hammer inside the cave, and the sound filled everything, Blinding white bleeding electric blue into black, and the Demon exploded into a billion little obsidian shards. And this time I Caught it when it came back.
We crushed the little worms that still wriggled on the floor.
I gave the hammer back to her. I didn't want to be around when Thor came looking for it.
I felt better the next day. And I wasn't following a goddess up a goddamn mountain in some liminal reality adjacent to my life, so I had a lot more energy.
Okay. That's your bedtime story. Good Night.
