Solstice, tho it doesn’t matter much. Georgie dearest my Geo. my bf now. And secret admirer not Lt. Little as suspected but an EJ Helpman who cannot fuck for the life of him but he had the audacity to ask after me as bedfellow. John (Irving) now confessing he’s his undying love to me; something in his mind about wanting to leave this Earth. I get it, we all do. Hope he will not leave; I love him so. Felt today (or was it yesterday?) he may have wanted to kiss me; know that he is happy and healthy w/ Mr. … Dr? Goodsir and do not want a repeat of all matter of issues currently being dealt w/. Almost lost dearest Geo.; were it not for my honesty in admitting how dear he is to me; may have lost him, tho on him to stay w/ me as well and not deny me when my truths had been revealed. Tho I will admit; I would definitely not have minded kissing John as he is a pretty sort, and kind, and anything to give him happiness and pleasure is on my mind. He is taken and so am I but I cannot help my mind from wandering and do wonder what kind of sounds he would make and how he would taste and feel, his hands on my skin, his eyes looking into mine… Terrible of me consider; I’d so hate to be the cause of such unhappiness. Jopson and dear Franc Cap. Crozier have broken up, most likely due to Cap.’s kindness in taking me in and comforting me. I so dearly love him for it; but I hate to have caused such trouble (tho I feel it’s a long time coming since they are both men who tend to doubt themselves (I think.) I will Jop. has come to Erebus, I will try and talk w/ him soon. Hope things will be fixed, hate to see them both so low and it is a danger to us all to have a Captain who is depressed and suicidal.

But I understand. It is terrifying to be loved. I’m so sure someday I might lose those I love. They can love me all they want and I them, but I am still unused to it, still fear I can’t trust them, there may still be some catch. I must… test them. To ensure the bonds are strong. To ensure they stay unlike Jam Fitzjamie, unlike Margareta, unlike all those who upon seeing what ugliness I am made of finally decided to leave me behind. Once these bonds are tested and their strength ensured, then I’ll know that they’ll stay. That Then I’ll know how strong and real and true their love truly is.

—HTDLeV.

I continue. Have I mentioned how much I love dearest Georgie? B/c I do. He’s beautiful and kind and so sweet and so lovely w/ me. And soft and I can’t get the blue of his eyes out of my mind and the soft curls that frame his face and his long fingers and the smell of him. I did not know I could love a man so much. Truly I am most obsessed w/ him and hope we have many many good years together, that we’ll leave here, that I will be able to remain by his side forever. I love you so fucking much it hurts. My most dearest and most beloved Georgie. Stay w/ me, please. Never leave. I love you, I really really love you forever and ever and ever fuck me. Maybe you’ll I’d hope you think the same. (tho I think I know you do).

—Love you always, <333 Henry.

@ Lilac: Why the long face?

Rude!! Rude Question to this poor horse man!! he could also have said "my whole family was killed by ice fangs but that would be depressing

Invasive like... 6/10? it's kinda just mildly annoying (i imagine the same level of annoyance as i have with people asking about my birthmark bc it's on my knee and NO it's not an injury have you people Never seen a port wine stain before???)

In my experience, Las Nevadas is more than just a city. it’s a stage, a test, and a trap all at once. The players may change, but the game stays the same. And as long as the lights stay on, there will always be someone willing to bet everything they have.

Never look desperate. Desperation is blood in the water. If you lose big at the casino, laugh it off. If someone powerful snubs you, act like you don’t care. If you want something—access, status, revenge—get it quietly. The second people see you scrambling, you’re done.

Las Nevadas is a performance. A high-wire act where every glance, every deal, every drink poured means something.

And at the center of it all, there sits a husk in a silk shirt, gold in its teeth, wings heavy with a past it won’t acknowledge. He is evidence that you don't play the game. No, no. You become it. And that is when you are well and truly lost.

sounds like you've fallen out of love with her. the lights are warmer than the snow coating the rooftops, y'know. you'll be back before you realise.

this morning has felt like a whole day. (tws in tags)

unexpectedly my dad's sister passed away last night, he and mom are flying across the country tuesday to be there for two weeks, i'm gonna be house and pet sitting at their place for the duration of the stay (wish me luck cause their dog is a fucking menace who hates me)

but why has this morning just felt so long....what a morning i did not anticipate ever having. and what's worse is his mom found her, so my head has been worried about her all morning.

and here i thought we could as a family have a fine year this year, and then this is the start of it. but we'll make it through.

okay... i might be alive today? jaw pain had me genuinely down & fucking out yesterday, it was so bad. but i think?? (not to jinx it or anything ahdjgsg) i've finally managed to sleep it off (mostly).

gonna..... gonna see how things hold up. if i can get some writing (or messaging) done, i will, and if not...... i am thanking y'all for the four billionth time for ur understanding and patience ahfgsjj

Do you see Damon as an older brother figure?

an intriguing question, indeed. as ultimate matchmaker my main focus tends to be romantic relationships, though being an ultimate i have expertise in other areas of love. siblings tend to be teasing towards one another, and deep, or not so deep down, truly care for one another. i'm not too sure if the latter can truly be felt in the scenario of a killing game but it is entertaining to bemuse him. i am not certain if that feeling is mutual. i haven't pondered on this much. in terms of classifying this, a pseudo-sibling relationship would probably be close to the ancient greek idea of philia, a deep platonic relationship, or the common story trope found family, though that is beside the point. if mochi wants to be my brother i think i'll let him do so

So

Little Nightmares III, huh???

I was trying to avoid being excited about it because no solid release date and 2024 could be a few months from now or a year from now and Idk how long I can handle being so fuckin hyped for this game YEEHAW

BUT I CAN'T, I KEEP THINKING ABT THE GAME AAHAHHGAGA

so here are my thoughts, if you wanted to know

FIRST OF ALL, i am so glad that after we saw LTNM II we thought it'd be co-op but it was just an AI, that we finally get co-op! AND ONLINE TOO, i spent the first day worried it'd be shared screen same room situation since i wasn't trying to get my hopes up but then I realised I can just.. google it.. AND IT IS!!! ONLINE!! IDK WHO I AM GONNA PLAY IT W FIRST AAAAAAAA

anyways, you can definitely tell it's a new studio working on this game, the world feels mostly the same but the character designs themselves are definitely stylistically similar, but not the same. With Six especially, the MC designs were very simplistic and realistic but used colour (or for Mono, a single design quirk being the bag) to stand out against their backgrounds and against the enemies which are largely neutral colours. But these new ones feel... "over designed"? On their own they definitely aren't, but in comparison to Mono, Six, Seven, and even NPCs like the flashlight girl, they have a lot more going on (especially the little wrench kid, Idk which one is Alone and which one is Low yet btw OOP)

Despite it being a new studio and you can tell, new puzzles and environments, they're still doing their best to have the OGs vibes and whatnot to feel familiar, namely in the trailer they bring back the fuses, and the additional gameplay video there's a short scene with an environment with all the shelves you can find in LTNM 1s gnome section (the one with the cart that is affected by the Maws swaying).

But regardless, it still feels different enough my brain is still nervous about it. I also feel In A Way about Tarsier having LTNM II explode and their franchise getting the attention it deserves, only to have it stuck with Bandai and now it's going to likely explode again and they aren't involved. Idk how anyone on that team feels about it, but if it were me omg.

Also the only boss we've seen so far (i hope they add more and i def want some to be a surprise so im not gonna assume this is the only one for now) feels... out of place? it has the design qualities of a LTNM boss, but the size of it makes it more of a spectacle than a warped/corruption of an adult. All the previous bosses fit in their environment, we are the small ones and they are scaled to the world around them. This is the first time, outside monster Six who imo is a bit of an outlier anyways due to her circumstances, we're getting a boss who is this huge and doesn't even fit their own environment. I hope we get a lore reason for this in some way, because currently the boss doesn't have the same vibe as the others and it's throwing me off a bit. Don't get me wrong, it'll be terrifying, but looking at the picture as a whole they are sort of out of place for me rn. I don't hate the bitch either, I'm not gonna be like omg get rid of it or change it, but it does strike me as odd seeing it for now.

And yes the tall man is too tall for a lot of things, but he's not THAT big. He's more like yer tall guy who hits his head off doorways, which happens irl anyways LMAO

Little Nightmares primarily tries to capture the feeling of being a small child and how everything is big and scary, but a doll that huge is out of the realm of reality set up for us already. It's gone from scary corrupted animal to godzilla, if that makes sense.

OH AND THE MIRRORS ARE VERY LTNM COMICS OF THEM TEE HEE < 3

//Sometimes there will be a time Lambda reaches for something, say a window. He reaches for it, sees the claws at the ends of his hands where his nails used to be and drags them down the window. They make a horrible noise as they scratch against it, of course but he's fixated on them. He can still feel the pressure of them pressing against the window, like he would when he had nails. What is different is the trail left behind. How easily he could cut into the glass.

Sometimes he'll be messing with a bandana as he ties it into a loose shape so it'll serve as a headband. The kind with a bow pointing up in the air. He gets distracted then too. Sturdy material, too dense for him to tear apart unless it was worn down with age. His fingers tighten around the bow. Now he could tear through it like it was nothing, just like that. If he really wanted to.

He stares down at his hands more than he thinks. As if he's expecting something to happen. As if he can push down and ignore the small (it's larger than he thinks) part of him that mourns what was once there.
