doorbell o clock
[bonecrusher installed a doorbell. it sounds like a warship horn and can be tuned to play music if desired. let's see how many times it rings throughout the first week of having it.]
======================
day one
[dawn. from 3 am to high noon, the doorbell never rang, not even once. no complaining, however. bonecrusher is reading a book that katyusha has written for him. lore. very nice.]
[from lunch to dinner, the door bell was rung only once. groundrumbler had to test it out because he had a load of precious materials in his hands. good to know it works.]
[dinner to midnight, same verse as the first. bonecrusher slept on the couch.]
======================
day two
[dawn. same as last midnight, and the first verse. bonecrusher enjoyed a mix of barbed wire energon and black coffee. 'helps the systems boot faster', he says.]
[lunch, through to dinner. vibemaster FINALLY gets back to base with katyusha's clothes. he was surprised by the new doorbell button, that's for sure. bonecrusher teased him about it, and thanked him mercilessly about getting katyusha's clothing. patchwork noticed a little injury under vibemaster's arm, and herded him into his office.]
[dinner to midnight. katyusha - rocking her clothes - and bonecrusher were sitting out in the kitchen for the entire night. they slept occasionally.]
======================
day three
[dawn, again. nothing important.]
[lunch to dinner. nothing important.]
[dinner to midnight. bonecrusher is staring in horror at a cybermail from... TARN. OH FUCK.]
======================
day four
[dawn. bonecrusher spent the last night staring at the cybermail. the bags under his optics grew.]
[lunch to dinner. rocketjumper came out to check on bonecrusher, and was not anything more relieved to see the cybermail he's read and reread and rereread and- you get the picture.]
[dinner to midnight. patchwork is reviewing the cybermail from tarn. he deduces that it's simply him wanting to catch up on things and bonecrusher was worrying for nothing.]
======================
day five
[dawn. bonecrusher's not convinced that tarn simply... decided to send a cybermail for catch-up, and is furiously and paranoidly reviewing the options over in his mind.]
[lunch - dinner. TARN POPPED BY -- and rang the doorbell. bonecrusher was uncomfortable for the entire meeting, wiggling in his seat and twitching all over. tarn was... a little offput by bonecrusher's own offputting, asking if he's alright. after the meeting was over, bonecrusher spent the rest of the day in the bathroom.]
[dinner to midnight. did you know transformers could puke?]
======================
day six
[dawn. rocketjumper's weekly freshening-up was interrupted by her seeing bonecrusher doubled over the toilet and weak to his atoms. she spent some time taking care of her husband.]
[lunch - dinner. rocketjumper handed the duty of taking care of bonecrusher to patchwork, a task he was quick to pick up.]
[dinner - midnight. katyusha and rocketjumper had a round of sex. no doorbell rings.]
======================
day seven
[dawn. nothing important.]
[lunch - dinner. bonecrusher's fine.]
[dinner - midnight. no visitors.]
======================
total doorbell rings: three.
tarn:
simply wanted to chat with bonecrusher and keep tabs on him. no hostile intentions. quite suspicious, but... hey, he didn't bring harm to anyone, so it's probably fine.
vibemaster:
delivered katyusha's clothes after a long while of not being at the base. was kissed ruthlessly by katyusha as a result.
groundrumbler:
needed to get into the base, while having precious materials in his arms, and could not use the door. used the doorbell to get bonecrusher to let him in.
we're done here.

NEUVILLETTE HAS A SISTER??? how does Eclair get along with her? 👀
I'm so sorry anon, this is actually really difficult for me to answer cause I have NO context or frame of reference of what you're referring to 😭
If you mean how I see Furina and Neuvillette's relationship as platonic and familial, Eclair treats Furina just like everyone else does. Well, mostly. She holds a certain respect for the Archon, but there's also a hint of distrust there. Not because Furina did anything specifically, but because she hasn't done anything. But investigating the Archon seems...wrong. So she doesn't and just holds it in the back of her mind.
The closest they've ever gotten to a real conversation was an abrupt request from Furina for a tea party. Something rather quaint and private. It wasn't exactly what Eclair was expecting, far more used to the flamboyant and excitable Archon, but it was nice. Educational in a sense. I think they started understanding each other a bit more after that, but that's about it. I'd like to explore their dynamic a bit more after the prophecy, but that's still a work in progress. Gotta get through the five years before the Traveler even got to Fontaine first!
If you're referring to @anevilbunnyinthehat 's oc Nahtaivel, then I have no idea because they haven't actually interacted! But I love her and I think she's amazing and wnxsjcjejcdk
Don't give Eclair another Sovereign; she's still trying to wrap her head around the fact that she's been courting one already LOL

no because gethsemane is so rin coded. pleading to his god just to know if his death is worth it. he has tried these three years feels like thirty and it’s gotten so out of hand and he can’t go back he desperately wants to. nail me to your cross and break me bleed me beat me kill me take me now before I change my mind. bonus points if it’s at lugalia cause like. why then am I scared to finish what I started, what you started I didn’t start it!!!!
LITERALLYYYYYYYYY take this cup away from me!!! for I don't want to taste it's poison!!!! I'm not as sure as when we started!!! then I was inspired!!!! now I'm sad and tired!!!! listen, surely I've exceeded expectations??? could you ask as much from any other man??? but if I die!!!! see the saga through and do the things you ask of me!!! let them hate me, hit me, hurt me!!! nail me to their tree!!!!! I'd want to know!! want to see!!! why I should die!!! would I be more noticed than I ever was before??? would the things I've said and done matter anymore????? and like. the way he's doing all this bc it's what lugalia would ask of him, and he reveres her (BITCH) but he also does it for the love of his family. sacrificial lamb at the altar isaac with a knife held to his throat HE SUFFERS SO THAT THEY'LL LIVE. HE DIES SO THEY'LL ALL LIVE. HE'S THEIR SALVATION IN THE FORM OF SACRIFICE

a decade later sure i'll put it into Text Post "tumblr user claims: plausibly may feasibly" form, starting with these classic screenshots i still have saved
this being dialogue from 2015's always watching: a marble hornets story, which is like hey this is a pretty well produced indie venture & you can sure like sit through it even if you then never watch it again b/c it's still kind of overly on the beaten path & "i'm not sure this choice is justified in much of anything" (see: bizarrely omnipresent thread of a love triangle just to be There; typical Mental Patient(tm) Harbinger; several real marked More Is Less instances arguably) that is still a better time than other random horror material i've seen & hated vs. only mostly been underwhelmed by but in an Overall Shrug way alone. yeah imdb's 4.7 out of 10 seems fair enough if you consider like 5 stars truly middle of the road solid if forgettable vs that anything < 7 stars is for [Bad!] or whatever
anyways the main character is named milo & indeed the creator(s) / actors / writers troy joseph & tim were involved in the production at all: tim at least by being the first step in doug jones's casting by reaching out directly (online), but troy & joseph also via Some writing, like in that slender game sequel also: not the Primary creators / writers, but still officially involved in the creative process at all. & i knew of them & they knew of me by this time & in a [source: dude just trust me] style of way, i, a tumblr user, am like "i think milo alwayswatching Could be named after me, milo unproduciblesmackdown. lol." b/c also like yeah i can take it on the chin if it's a coincidence, which is also likely. great name & it's just not being used enough in fictional & nonfictional people's names. you might also be aware that some role in tribetweIve is named milo (maybe the main guy. i never watched it) so you might also speculate it's named after that guy, which seems plausible also, But: afaik there are no other similar plausible shoutouts at all, to that series or to emh which was just as majorly like One Of Those 3 Biggest Online Series. may or may not add a grain of salt to take it with. like my own "of course, there's a grain of salt in 'milo just like me milo, and Uncoincidentally?' b/c how wouldn't there be. a name people have"
the dude just trust me argument: distilling it down to "i went to their first convention & then the same one the next year, & in these experiences i Know they knew of me from that + also online, where people knew my name was milo as well" and "it seems feasible enough it's an easter egg Not Coincidence that i first knew this character's name happened to also be milo b/c someone who experienced a clip sent me an ask about it, so they assumed it was a possible actual connection too lol." and, of course, it might be a fun coincidence after all. but i'm still like "yeah no it Could be a funny little shoutout to me specifically for real" and mean it and, again, i can endure it if i'm completely wrong. b/c who could care, and also b/c it's so funny that the character is a guy who basically just is like "i am going to have a bad attitude. b/c of the insistent tiresome love triangle thing. well now I'm insistently tiresome" and fucking everything up but like, sure. exasperating epic fail protagonists
the only relevance i think it has besides "to me, b/c i can go haha yeah. that might be like: just like me!!" is that it's Also plausible b/c yeah marble hornets Is the kind of series that might go "this could be an easter egg about some queer autistic tumblr user we know about" lmao, its Inherent Queerness both re: the material and in the creators' knowledge like yep that's how our Appreciators skew! like it's low stakes to be like [lol, Me. perhaps] b/c it's obviously of zero importance like it adds no info, i'm just some rando queer fan from back in the day, but it's this potential Fun Fact that's funny to know & it's about "yeah like they knew i was trans back then too & that it was like, amidst the MH Fans, like nobody's cishet man (shaggy rogers voice)" Gay Rights!

mm okay this is a thought i had on the bus like all great thoughts so this might be incomprehensible but im thinking about taob zuko and hakoda's relationship to duty, how there's such a vivid parallel from the very start of their duality. there is zuko and there is the fire prince. there is hakoda and there is the chief. thinking about how book 1 is a journey of duty and humanity. over 19 chapters, zuko is taught about humanity, how it doesnt have to be exchanged for duty, how both can exist within him simultaneously. he begins as prince zuko. he is abrasive and hateful and he fights the water tribe every step of the way, but by the end, he is just zuko. he chooses the water tribe over himself. he loses his firebending. he leaves the red ribbon behind. but hakoda? hakoda's journey is the complete opposite. where he teaches zuko the strength of humanity, hakoda sees in zuko someone facing the same burdens of duty that he faces, and zuko teaches him things about leadership without even realising. the importance of duty in the face of turmoil, the responsibility on their shoulders, the cost of their wrongdoings. the moment they were placed in control of the lives of others, they lost the right to total humanity, and while zuko's journey and age allows him a reprieve of that duty so that he can embrace humanity in its entirety, hakoda continues to carry that load. in chapter 1, he makes an objectively illogical, emotion-led decision to keep zuko alive and bring him aboard, a decision that is even stated in the story to have only worked because it was zuko instead of literally any other firebender. by chapter 19, hakoda makes the decision to leave zuko behind despite almost having it confirmed that fong took him, because he knows that his duty lies with his tribe, that he has dozens of lives in his hands regardless of what his heart wants.
book 1 is about zuko learning to choose humanity over duty, but it is also about hakoda having to choose duty over humanity.

I really like Kole! Phoenix honestly deserves supportive family outside the traumatized spirit mediums and little magician girl that he had adopted and is trying to take care of. Kole just being here to make bad jokes is honest mood and I fully support him and his YouTube channel
I am so glad other people are also liking Kole. I love him so much.
And yeah! Phoenix deserves some kind of support system beyond them, because while I have no doubt they'd all be happy to support him he's typically the one trying to support them. He needs someone whose laundry list of issues and traumas is a little shorter. As someone who has been my friend group's support pillar this is something I know is very important for him. Thus, Kole!
He's here to make bad jokes, provide common sense, and maybe cause an explosion or two to film for his channel. The last one less often because it stresses Phoenix out. Phoenix worries too much, but hey, that's the price of caring as much as he does. Kole does take all the needed safety precautions, but that doesn't make it look any less dangerous.
His YouTube channel is very popular though. Trucy sometimes joins him for the less dangerous videos. Or whenever he tricks out his wheelchair again. She does magic tricks during the boring parts of construction for the camera. This boosts both of their popularity.
At one point I want Kole to try something that has the internet at large being concerned he broke a law, and so he gets Phoenix to join him for a video explaining that no, it's actually very legal, he's in the clear. Just because I want everyone to freak out about Phoenix being there and then Kole casually being like "Yeah, that's my cousin Feen. I've talked about him before, you know," The internet would lose it, at least for a week.
