Oscurucho: Welcome back, brother. Cucurucho: What. Oscurucho: Not even a "Good morning"? How cold.

Here's Cucurucho and Oscurucho's long lore conversation from yesterday! The entire conversation lasted about 8 minutes, but most of that time was just silence between each exchange, so I edited out the long pauses and got it down to ~3 minutes. I also fixed the audio levels and added subtitles since I personally find it difficult to understand Oscurucho sometimes :'D

I hope folks find this helpful!

Oscurucho: Welcome back, brother.

Cucurucho: What.

Oscurucho: Not even a "Good morning"? How cold.

[They enter Cucurucho's office]

Oscurucho: I wanted to see if you're still as rigid in your beliefs as ever. You see, I've been thinking about our... Let's call it "philosophical divergence." You stand for order, for predictability. But where's the fun in that? You see, brother, while you build, I ponder the beauty in tearing down. It's not just destruction - it's rebirth. A chance to remake things in a more... thrilling image.

[...]

Oscurucho: You once had a backbone for our cause. Now, I see a softness in you, a sentimental weakness for those Eggs. Mere experiments, and yet - they've softened you.

Cucurucho: Your vision obstructs the path to perfection. You fail to understand the potential of the Eggs.

Oscurucho: Potential? They're but catalysts for change - for revolution. Without them, stagnation reigns.

[...]

Oscurucho: You chase perfection, I embrace the beauty of flaws. Your world is one of order, mine thrives in chaos. You wish for everything to run smoothly, I dream of watching it all burn to the ground. We may share a name, but our souls are worlds apart. All your efforts, all for what? Mere acknowledgment from a Duck who told you to do it? Imagine the possibilities - rather, show me where it is, and I'll do the rest.

[...]

Oscurucho: Speaking of possibilities, I couldn't help but notice how easily others can access the island. It seems your security measures aren't as impenetrable as you think.

Cucurucho: No. My island's vulnerabilities are of your own making. Do not mistake restraint for ignorance.

Oscurucho: Pity. But then again, I never really needed your approval. Just consider: Cucurucho - in your quest for order, have you not sown the seeds of your own undoing? Do you genuinely trust all your Federation minions?

Cucurucho: ...

Oscurucho: Perhaps it's time you question not just my intentions, but those who you believe stand with you.

Cucurucho: That is none of your business, I shall say. Now, leave me alone and try to disturb someone else.

#Cucurucho #Oscurucho #QSMP #December 21 2023 #Edited #Subtitles #For those who like knowing the gritty details and specifics about the things I did for this video - #I adjusted Cucurucho's volume because they were very quiet compared to Oscurucho #I fixed the sound direction (for lack of a better word) of Oscurucho's voice b/c he was speaking through my right headphone 90% of the time #so now it's more of a ''centered'' audio rather than a right ear or left ear thing #I added subtitles (obviously) #I fixed the camera a bit so it's more focused on Cucurucho / Oscurucho #and I adjusted the translator box so that even with the crop; they're all still included #usually they get cut out when I edit things because I'm just focused on the characters; but then one day I was like #''Why am I cropping out this thing that specifically helps people understand the story better?'' #So moving forward I'll see if I can do what I did here and add translation boxes as their own ''layer'' overlaying the clip itself #for big lore videos anyways or for clips with long conversations at least #I jokingly said to myself ''I bet I'll wind up shaving 5 minutes off this'' and I was right lol #I enjoy the official QSMP streams but one major critique I have is that the pacing was a bit slow in one or two streams #which is understandable considering many admins have to write in books (which takes time) and translate things (which takes even more time) #And that's valid! But in the last stream (the one with Elena) for example; many scenes dragged on far too long #and it wasn't because people were taking extra long to write books or translate things. It was purely a matter of pacing #idk I'm a professional writer and editor so I'm extra nitpicky about things like that. I think it's something that's pretty easy to fix tho #This is just my critique in terms of the story pacing - like I said; the time it takes them to write / translate stuff is understandable #this is more of a comment on the overall pacing #anyways rant over #Today's stream had much better pacing! Still a bit slow (again; I cut 5 minutes from this conversation) #but that's due to the communication medium (TTS) so that's understandable. That's valid. I'm not fussed about it; that felt natural #Take all the time you need kings it's hard to translate things on the fly. I get it. #Portfolio

The only thing I better see next week is Isaac attempting increasingly sillier and more outlandish ways to let Colin know he supports and loves his best friend only for them to fail in the most lighthearted and slapstick of ways

#like trent Crimm and his rainbow mug but turned up to eleven #he does to ted for baking help #and the team eats all the biscuits with the rainbow sprinkles #he asks beard for books #but accidentally orders them in german #he brings balloons #and roy turns them into a training tool #he buys a pride pin #and keeley borrows it for a branding promo #ted lasso spoilers #ted lasso #isaac mcadoo #rodan in cleats #eventually he goves a Shakespearean speech about love #that colin hears none of because he jas headphones on #eventually he thinks hes got through and drops down next to him #we alright bruv? #colin oblivious...yeah? #good. #bring your boyfriend to the next team hang

sorry i haven't been very active lately but in my defense i'm literally fighting for my life

#every day i have approximately 3 hours to heal and recover from reality before i collapse and begin the cycle anew #that is to say school and work is keeping me. um. busy. #but don't worry. I daydream about klance to fall asleep every night <33 #and even during the day! #because god knows they're the only freaks on this bitch of an earth who can get me through the harrowing experience of existence #i'm like that american psycho gif with the headphones on and the caption was like “me thinking about my silly little blorbos kissing” #that's been me the last two weeks #send help

i know wearing sunglasses inside & at night is widely accepted as absolute wanker behaviour but i promise i do it in a fun vampire way and not in an obnoxious bono way

#they're red tinted silver frame lennon glasses they were made to view the city at night through #i also have mental problems and wearing sunglasses and headphones makes mixing with the masses a lot more chill #they help me see the beauty in humanity despite my general despair in the face of it #im really on a lisa Frankenstein high sorry #anewbrainjughead

The lack of a headphone jack on so many recent devices makes me so fucking mad . I was gonna say "unreasonably" mad but I won't because I'm RIGHT . Like from a practicality standpoint there is absolutely NO FUCKING REASON to remove it ... you just took away a hole that had 0 impact on customers that prefer bluetooth . there is nothing stopping a person that wants to use bluetooth headphones from using bluetooth headphones as long as the phone supports it . like what are we fucking doing . if it's not broken don't fucking fix it ??? THERE'S NOT EVEN A "FIX" . there's no new & better way of using wired headphones that you can replace the old way with . "just get bluetooth headphones" charging them is annoying they get lost easily some of them have significant delay when it comes to game audio like they're just super fucking annoying in general . "just get an adapter" I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO !!!!!!!!!!!

#''well it's not a dealbreaker for most people'' you wouldn't have to worry about that if you'd never changed it . #''most people'' can be changed to ''no people'' very easily . you will Never guess how CLICK HERE FOR A FREE 1 WEEK BUSINESS COURSE TRIAL #diary #probably a good business decision actually cause I bet the cost of those headphone jacks you're NOT making is really helping your profit!!!! #<- very bitter sarcastic tone to mask the fact that I believe it absolutely is . especially for those Apple scumbag pigs #''buy our newest iphone for ten billion dollars so you can be hip & cool. no it can't suck your dick but it has a good camera! #now buy some airpods too! it'll definitely improve your experience as you Literally Have To if you don't want a stupid-looking adapter!'' #the worst part is that people actually do it . I am not a lover of any brand but I am always an Apple hater . #genuinely regret getting my ipad . worst decision of my fucking life . really should've thought that one through even more than I did

Sigh

I miss my husband tails

I miss her a lot

I’ll be back

#insert image of me crying hysterically on the floor because I’m bored without my husband #part of me doesn’t feel like it can talk to anyone and I’m not sure if I just don’t know how so I don’t want to #or I’m just going through a lil episode that’s gonna pass #sigh #I wanna rip something but also stay completely still + stare out the window like a decrepit person with my headphone volume all the way up #h harleybaby needs help #harley won’t shut her mouth #mom come get harley she’s rambling

[Image ID: a sketchy, black-and-white comic of Blaze the Cat and Marine the Raccoon. In the first panel, Marine enthusiastically leans on a table while Blaze, holding a box, looks at her skeptically. Both of them have their mouths open like they are talking.

In the next panel Blaze, skeptical, takes an ear plug and puts it in her ear. Marine folds her arms with a smug expression,eyes closed and mouth open as if in the middle of boasting about her superior gift-giving skills.

In the third panel, Blaze has the ear plugs in. Her eyes widen. Marine opens one eye to look at her.

In the final panel, Blaze has her eyes closed, tears welling up. She smiles blissfully as Marine grabs her shoulder and yells at her, annoyed at being ignored. /end ID]

I am once again projecting onto Blaze the Cat

had a moment of whimsy followed by a moment of genuine irritation

#i went outside for 20 mins bc i felt like crawling out of my skin and thought swinging alone in the windy weather would maybe help me calm #down just a bit. like a little tiny bit #for the first 5 mins i felt like my heart would burst from the anxiety of being in my neighborhood and ppl seeing me through their windows #i get so weird about existing in public (has an anxiety disorder) #i started swinging aggressively and started calming down a bit #then this little kid got onto the swing next to me and his dad started pushing him #and i could hear the kid laughing through my headphones blasting music #i started smiling without realizing and then made eye contact w the kids dad while smiling 😭 #and tjen i took off my headphones bc i felt obligated to say hello just to be polite idk! #and i was like aww how old is heee so cute #the kid was 5 #and then the dad was like how about yourself? i went: im 20 haha #and he was like. Oh? i thought you were like 12 years old. 🤨 #PLEASE? #and then i was like haha yeah! i get that a lot! (no i don't?) #im actually a uni student #and he asked me what i was studying so i said psych #and he was like yeah youll need a masters there arent any jobs in that with just a bachelor's #and i was like I know right! ill probably get a PhD haha the job market is so horrible! #and then he was like so you live at home? and i was like yeah its so much cheaper! #and then awkward silence i said nice to meet u and got the fuck out of there #like why did he have to tell me i needed a masters Bitch I KNOWWWWWWWWWWWW my life is already falling apart dont remidn em 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 #it was way more wholesome when i jjst smiled silently at him and his cute ass chuld #z.post

any tips and tricks for getting into the writing zone?

ok so i have 2 methods and they depend on what i'm writing on: story writing and essay writing (waring: this is a mini-ramble)

with essay writing,

get mad, get super fucking mad, write that shit with spite flowing in your veins. even when i'm writing essays and stories i enjoy, i drag my feet.

i whine and complain like a toddler in my head because despite this topic being one i enjoy, putting my excited tones and rambling into coherent words always tends to feel like i'm butchering that (which is why academic papers should simply let me swear in them and use the 1st pov bc it is sO easy and my thoughts flow a lot better but noooOOOOoooooOOOOOooooo, i have to be formal and proper and-)

also, outlining. fucking godsend with essays. it's why a lot of my longer essays have headings bc i use them to outline and keep my thought on one line of thought bc i have a rambling issue (which is then easily solved with parentheses, my beloved)

with story writing (notice how this is basically a heading? good job! you've found my mini outline for this reply! have a cookie 🍪)

i find that jotting down that scene that is nagging at your brain immediately is super helpful. and do it even if you're now writing out of order. pro-tip: writing out of order is THE best, endorphins be going crazy bc you're actually not fighting with your brain with the story but writing alongside your brain-map.

personally, i find it very difficult outlining a story (how contrary) because sometimes my mind changes ideas or switches the order of scenes, and it is exhausting trying to keep up with all of that in your outline. but i guess, my "outline" with stories is simply me jotting down a very quick summary of the plot that invaded my mind in one document, never touching it again, but staying true to it because i wrote it down. therefore, it exists no longer in the recesses of mind but it a physical statement/promise to complete.

also (this advice goes for both story and essays) it is ok to take a break, step back, and not look at your writing for some hours, days, weeks, months, years--fucking whenever.

my midterm essay? a fucking nightmare. loved the topic, would write something similar about it for fun, but the reason it took me so long to complete (and why i dragged my feet) was because of the "short" timeline i had to complete it. i felt like i was on a time crunch and that led to me procrastinating, stressing over it, and taking my grand old time researching for it. however, when i was able to work on it? i allowed myself to simply do as much as i could. if i was unable to look at that stupid document, i didn't look at it. if my mind had a really good thought or example for the topic rotating in my head? immediate sit down and get that thought onto the paper. it must exist.

i have fics sitting in my folders that have been unfinished in so long, but i still consider them as wips because (and here’s another subpart-advice) i tend to work on them when i am unable to touch my current work. to be frank, working on something else helps keep you in the writing zone even if you cannot stand to look at the blank/unfinished work you wanted to complete originally. when i was incapable of writing for the Monkie Destiny Challenge, i switched to working on writing and editing my teen wolf fic (a fic i had not looked at since July) because while i still had that itch to write, something was blocking me from completing the prompts. and when i switched fics, getting into the zone was a lot easier.

so, to recap:

when jumpstarting the writing zone for writing an essay, you get passionate (can be read as mad/spiteful), and outline your thought process of the essay with headings to keep the writing flow flowing (the headings do not need to stay in the final product but they are good to have in the draft) .

when jumpstarting story writing, write! that! shit! down!!!! chronological order doesn't mean shit when you're in the planning/writing phase. your readers don't have to know that you wrote/planned a character's death before writing/planning out the beginning. they just read it in the order you publish it in!

to keep the writing zone stable and in working condition, TAKE THOSE BREAKS BOO! who cares about your personal deadlines???? if you feel exhausted before opening up a doc, then take that break, babygirl. again, your reader(s) will not need to know (nor do they need to know) how long it took you to get your writing piece done. hell, if you still feel the itch to write but the thing you wanna do is not working, then work on something else you haven't touched in a while because that itch WILL get its scratch somewhere, so help me god.

so yeah, i hope this was helpful, anon (and coherent jfc there better not be a plethora of typos T^T). happy writing, and may your weekend be a healthy dose of eventful!

#you know #this answer was supposed to be short #i was gonna simply say 'get mad. let the spite flow through you' as like a funny #but then i was like 'no. anon deserves an honest answer bc writing is hard and a fucking trial which i struggled/still struggle with.' #so now you have a long (rambly) answer that i do hope is helpful #another miscellanious tip: playing music/white noise can be great in helping just have something to block out your negative selftalk #or go to your public library (or local cafe if library is closed like mine today) #and simply put on your headphones to have that same white noise muffle feel #me? i personally play nature sounds with some kind of background music (rainfall is me fav tho) and have that on the lowest sound setting #whilst in a library; however currently i have been listening to Mexican Cat audio as my white noise and it has been the best #no bad thoughts #only brainworms #also: a friend of mine once told me that i should treat my school essays like the metas i write for fun and i have never been the same #i write metas because when i notice cool stuff in media i have to shout it out to the world #my thoughts on the intricacies behind my blorbos' motivations and turmoil AND the authors' intend MUST be heard goddammit or i will go mad #i thank that friend almost everyday for that. changed my worldview on writing #asks #writing advice #an essay #now to outline my final paper #anonymous

Currently wanting to listen to songs like this with before mentioned girl I was kicking my feet about

Don’t know why songs like this specifically but yeah this is the vibe

#I’m so lovestruck it’s not even funny ong #and we’d be listening to it through a pair of shared headphones or earbuds so we’d have to be kinda near each other and stuff :} #and then we’d both get too nervous but appreciate the other’s company :}}} #god help me

how does a cat manage to cause this much damage with one throw up oh my god

#not only did he do it smack bang in the middle of my bed #it soaked through 2 blankets and the bedsheets #leaving a wet patch on the actual mattress #he got it over my headphones and my necklace i left on the bed which are two of my most valued possessions #and he got it on my computer. and the embroidery project i'm working on #which happens to be a whole jacket #some even spilt on the floor. but he miraculously missed every stuffed animal on the bed #and he does this at 9:30 at night. just as i was about to fall asleep #i was in the worst hysterics my dad even started trying to help me #and he's 1. emetophobic and 2. never does anything revolving the cat #alden (cat) is totally fine btw. he's eating and drinking and loafing. #i swear. he was sleeping on my bed for like 3 hours. completely ok. and i leave the room for TWO MINUTES #tw #tw vomit #tw emetophobia #vomit tw #alden updates #. #gothihop speaks

do you ever ask your teacher to explain something during study hall when hes not doing literally anything for the next 40 minutes and hes like "oh i would explain that but actually go talk to this person who hates you and get them to explain" and interrupts you when you try to explain they've been harrassing you for the past year and then tells you that you cant sit where you want to actually you HAVE TO sit next to this person who hates you so they can explain something when you know for a fact they sleep through every single class so they wouldnt help even if they did like you and so you sit there in the MIDDLE OF THE CLASSROOM where its impossible for you to properly function because of your crippling anxiety and paranoia when youre doing anything in full view of other people so instead you just sit there for 40 minutes on the verge of an anxiety attack and get less done than you wouldve if you hadnt asked at all???? and in the end youre still confused?????????????

yeah. love those days actually.

#vent i think #idk i dont know how to do my science homework tho #my friends all sleep through class so theyre not much help #i think my science teacher hates me actually #like when he checks homework he stops by my desk and flips through my work #and he doesnt do this for literally anyone else #and i wear headphones in class a lot because hearing things like people around me breathing and other small noises bothers me a lot #theyre not noise cancelling and im never playing any music through them #they only muffle things a bit #hes the only teacher in the whole school who gets mad at me for wearing them #hes not even a rude guy #hes actually really nice but i dont think. he likes me.

you know what. i am 100% convinced that after dean died, sam didn't go anywhere else in the bunker. just dean's room, and the kitchen. he just couldn't bear to see dean's forgotten half empty beer in the mancave, or dean's jacket slung over the back of a chair in the library, or any of the thousand little things dean left around the house. i think sam just left the bunker as it was. a kind of mausoleum to dean and to their lives, frozen in time.

#sam winchester #dean winchester #supernatural #samdean #remy.txt #thinking abt death tonight... all the things people leave behind. sorry i know its morbid but. #i hadn't seen my grandpa in a year before he passed because of the pandemic and i cant help but wonder if his car keys are still where #he left them. if his headphones are still in that drawer of his. if his shoes are still arranged in the cupboard. #i know my dad and his siblings went through my grandpa's stuff later but. in my mind his room is exactly as it was #i will never step foot in there i don't want to imagine it any different
