#<- jesus all for one game?

[astrolotte]

I think Serena and Dawn should be time travel buddies. You agree with me 🌀🌀🌀 ooo you agree with me 🌀🌀🌀 let them be best friends. perhaps even honorary sisters. i expect fanfiction as soon as the game comes out, maybe sooner. get on it /j

Sorry if this has already been answered, but does Ford celebrate his birthday? I know its pretty hard to keep track of time when its ... nonlinear in the multiverse but I feel like Bill would know. And to ford every once and a while Bill demands his attention and he comes back to the pyramid to the wildest (worst) surprise party. The cake is human skin, candles are those really long wisdom teeth. Ford hates it.

i'll call out that a main plot point of chapter 4 is the fact bill gets ford presents on his b-day so yah its a regular thing, but they celebrate the day after his b-day

first birthday together bill probably does the skin cake thing but ford just rolls his eyes and sighs . bill almost fucking shoots himself after that response

persona misogyny is so fucking wild. ignoring literally everything else about the entire rest of the games, every single s.link with a female character is like “entirely for having been born a woman i have had to work twice as hard for a fraction of the benefit. even now, i am stripped of my agency in a position i never wanted in the first place” and/or “i’m put on a pedestal by the people in my life because of my looks. men see me as an object to be conquered, women hate me for ‘stealing’ ‘their’ men. if i’m withdrawn i’m a bitch, if i’m friendly i’m easy. because of this, i’m alone” and/or “because of my personality or hobby or lack of cooking skills, i feel like i’m failing at femininity. if being a woman is something i can fail at, then where does that leave me? i’m scared at the loss of my identity and place in society”

like very consistently they present female characters with complex thoughts towards their place in society as women, femininity as a whole, and facing issues stemming from misogyny, and then the payoff is always “my problems were entirely my own fault. i wasn’t strong enough, i was a coward. but now, i’m gonna work hard to be exactly what society expects me to be (which is what i want to be)! i’m gonna do better at femininity (which is still something tangible i can fail at)! i’m going to try hard at making friends (which was my fault for not doing)! all my problems are solved through personal responsibility (that im totally culpable for), effort (which i previously was not putting in), or you, a man! i am Happy and Satisfied with this outcome, can i be Your woman?”

and like hello? why are we here. what the fuck are we doing. why do we keep doing this every single time. can we not do the constant lukewarm attempts at criticizing misogyny so you can jerk off to your own thoughtfulness, while ultimately reinforcing patriarchal systems and brushing off any deeper misogyny-bred issues as a lack of deference to one’s rightful place in society? like maybe don’t do that? for fucking once? just an idea

okay sorry this is gonna come off as a little mean but i do not like any ships involving fleetway super sonic . or at least not the takes on them that ive seen because they all mischaracterize him. maybe if people would do this stuff with super sonic during the time he was separated from sonic and was niceys i might feel differently about some pairings ive seen but people never do it with niceys super its always evil super but specifically the weird fandomized version of him that you get from getting all your info from fanart/fanfics instead of the comics . and i specify niceys super because evil super in the actual comics would not be dating anyone he does not care about flirting with shadow or amy or scourge or whoever the hell he only cares about biting and killing and maiming . yes even if theyre sonics friends or the character you ship sonic with . sorry

CAN WE GO ONE FUCKING GAME WITHOUT ONE OF KIRYU'S CLOSE FRIENDS/ALLIES DYING IN HIS ARMS I AM ON MY HANDS AND KNEES RIGHT NOW

[cthulhu-with-a-fez]

my datemate has been thoroughly educating me about final fantasy 7, including showing me the movie, which had absolutely zero plot whatsoever and it was PERFECT that way??? like. must a movie have things happen in it. can it not simply be an hour and forty minutes of flexing how many polygons the animation department has access to now via baller fight scenes loosely strung together to make a character study. advent children was a masterpiece, you cannot change my mind.

Just thought of some Akashi videogame headcanons

So first of all because of all the extra studies and activities he was made to do throughout his childhood, he originally did not play video games at all. He just never had the time and his father considered them to be unproductive, anyway. So, he never grew up with any video game console in his house.

The only exposure he had to video games came from other people, more specifically the Teiko gang. Kise, Aomine, and Murasakibara specifically played a lot of video games in their free time, and if Akashi was around, he'd lean over them to get a peek at their screens (I would imagine they'd be bringing their PSPs or DSs to school or something). Sometimes, Akashi would ask questions about the games that they were playing, because he would just be so curious as to how fun it is to play them, and if they sense that Akashi is really interested they'd give him a turn with their console.

And, of course, Akashi, being the out-of-touch person that he is (bless his precious little heart), ends up getting taught by the other miracles how to play the games. He listens very intently and is a quick learner, though, so once he understands the rules he's really good.

And since he met Midorima and was friends with someone who finally shared his interest in shogi, Akashi started playing online games with him when they weren't at school. I vaguely remember from like an interview or something with Fujimaki that Akashi's online handle is Red Emperor, which is just... very fitting. Either way, even though Akashi did not play console games, he would always do online shogi matches with Midorima which would then expand into other games like chess and Othello. And those kept up all the way until high school. But since he wasn't hanging out with the other former Teiko members like he used to, his video game exposure went right back down to zero.

Eventually, post-Winter Cup, when the former Teiko members start hanging out together again, he starts getting exposed to video games again through the others, and the miracles finally just tell him he should get some games of his own to try out. At first, he wasn't sure about getting a console, but they told him that he could just get PC games to start and if he's comfortable with the PC format then he can just stick with it.

Case in point, Aomine sends him the link for Steam via text with the message "Go crazy".

Lemme tell you, this boy clicks on that link and SCROLLS. Again, as someone who was never familiar with the video game realm, this feels like stepping into a new world. With all the options for games, it's almost overwhelming, but eventually, he starts picking game categories that stick out to him and combing through different game trailers and synopses with a mindset of "I'll pick three games to test out and see how I feel after that."

^^^ Famous last words

Fast-forward to some time after that, and Akashi has very much found an appreciation for video games and regularly tries new ones that interest him.

Since he's a very intelligent person, I would like to think that rather than playing video games to relax and not use his brain for a while, he's the type to play video games that are intellectually stimulating. He likes to be challenged and use his wits to complete the games he plays.

Because of that, I would say his video game preferences probably fall into strategy (specifically turn-based and tabletop strategy) and puzzle games (which include puzzle platformers). He's also a big fan of story-rich games and will play through the occasional visual novel as well.

When he tells the former Teiko members he started getting into video games, they make it a point at every subsequent meetup to ask about any current ones he's playing and what he thinks of them. Sometimes, they'll keep an eye out for upcoming games within his favorite genres and show him trailers of games they think he'd like.

Whenever he's invested in a trailer he'll get this sparkle in his eye that the others pretend they don't notice but secretly look out for to know whether or not they're on the right track.

Also, after successfully getting Akashi into video games, the rest of the former Teiko members (mainly Aomine and Kise) convince him to download a few co-op games that they all can play together.

So whenever all of them have free time, Aomine or Kise will send some bat signal message to their group chat to assemble and they all get on their computers to play.

As time goes on, the co-op gaming sessions eventually become a bi-weekly event, and Akashi tries his best to shift his schedule around so he doesn't miss them.

His current teammates at Rakuzan notice him disappearing or being unavailable on certain days and ask Akashi what's been occupying his time so much, thinking that it would be something school-related. When he tells them he's actually just playing co-op games with his former teammates, they think it's the cutest fucking thing ever (especially Mibuchi).

Eventually, video games become more than just a way to pass the time, they become another outlet for Akashi to just... be a regular teen and not have to worry about being perfect at what he's doing? They help relieve his stress and give him something to take his mind off school. And the Uncrowned Kings notice he's happier because of it. Most importantly of all, he gets to connect more with his Teiko friends like he always wanted.

[BONUS]

Sometime in the distant future, after graduating high school, he convinces his father to let him have a one-bedroom apartment close to his campus with the excuse that it'll make commuting easier. After moving in and unpacking his stuff, the former Teiko members get a text in their group chat from Akashi with a picture of a Nintendo Switch and seven controllers with the message "Anyone up for a game?"

for the wip meme, could you share something from "under" or "spoiled"?🖤🖤

my two gale-has-psychosexual-issues-to-hash-out oneshots! i can ramble more about the actual stuff i'm trying to dig into with both/either of these if you would like more than snippets, but tl;dr spoiled began life as bucky getting—you guessed it—spoiled by curt and gale, because he deserves it and truly there is not enough of it, but it wants to be gale POV and i have some v. specific thoughts on gale's relationship with harder kink so he is getting his psychosexual issues all over what is supposed to be A FIC FOR BUCKY TO GET DOUBLESTUFFED, C'MON GALE, LIKE AN OREO:

Bucky melts, head dropping back on Curt’s shoulder, mouth dropped open on a groan that sounds like relief. “Please,” he says, or starts to, before Curt reaches forward and slides two fingers past Bucky’s teeth, garbling the back end of the word.

“Shush,” Curt murmurs, and Gale'd bristle on Bucky's behalf if it wasn't so fond and if Bucky didn't start sucking, moaning around Curt’s fingers, and God, Gale’s out of his depth.

He’s not sure he can do this, treat John like this, like he’s not a person. Can't even kiss him with Curt’s fingers in the way, but he likes it, judging by the sounds he's making.

he and curt are gonna knock heads in this one because gale has Some Ideas And Preconceptions that get externalized as kink-shaming and i'm having more fun than i probably should be shaking those up. violently.

then under is kind of a dctctc b-side; it's set after they all get together too but it's just curt and gale figuring out the D/s dynamic between themselves on the heels of gale getting his ideas of Manhood and Masculinity shaken up after seeing how much bucky likes getting fucked 😊 they're much less combative in under, and this is DEFINITELY part of cheekiverse so i think that means spoiled is Not, because it's not the same relationship for sure.

“Shoulda known you’d wanna pick it apart, big brain like you,” Curt says through a grin. If he means it as a crack like fellas tend to, it doesn't feel like it—it’s just affectionate, fond the same way Gale’s seen him get with John. So Gale relaxes a bit, flattens the end of his toothpick between his molars and cocks a brow, waiting. Curt sits back in his chair, gets a contemplative look on his face. “S’kinda hard to describe. Some guys' heads’ll get kinda fuzzy between the sheets sometimes.”

“And Bucky’s one of them?” Gale says, when Curt doesn't say anything else.

He gives Gale a different look then, a little out of place on his face for how serious it is. It’s not a look Gale’s ever seen on Curt outside the cockpit, and even then, never pointed at him. “Talk to Bucky if you want his specifics, this ain't a stitch ‘n bitch.”

a lot of what's in both of these especially wrt gale having trouble squaring "masculine ideal" with "bottoms" comes from some chats with @angelfruittree so credit there :P and this was a lot of jawing and not very long snippets but i swear i am TRYING to get a grip on gale in a way that i like it is just taking FOREVER because he's convinced he's right and he's NOT

i wonder what the mutuals that arent familiar with mouthwash think it's about. Like, just based on the stuff i reblog. like you guys probably don't interact with the text posts (very valid and i recommend you dont for your mental wellbeing) but i assume you Have seen the art............. and i can only imagine at least one of you must be confused as to why these madmen are eating bloody cakes and unironically drinking mouthwash and this girl that looks like Shelley Duval has a gun

I'm playing some old missions again to update my challenges and was surprised at how good I find the 7 Deadly Sins compared to the newer content (pff) But playing Ambrose Island, I realised again how little we know about Lucas Grey's past.

Apart from the fact that Grey suddenly comes around the corner with a mission that also happens to have something to do with Providence, I'm sure it's down to IOI looking for content that fits in with the overall game. So no further questions.

But still I ask myself: Who was Noel Crest for Lucas Grey?

Because have you noticed that Grey sounds super, super sad when Crest dies? Or when he announces him? Or when he briefly talks about his past? In general, Grey was extremely vulnerable in this mission. John Hopkins does a fantastic job as always, but I really wonder why Grey is so emotional. I mean, I melt every time he says "I'll see you soon" when the mission is over. It's very sweetly purred. Longingly, even.

Crest was probably one of Grey's confidants, they worked closely together. But for comparison, Sean Rose, the guy who ran the big militia in Colorado (on Grey's behalf), also seemed to me to be a confidant of Grey. Otherwise he wouldn't give him such a task. Grey himself worked in the house alongside all the others (we remember the cellar). Intense co-operation, as with Crest. And we see Grey directly after 47 has done his deed, namely on the hill with his sniper rifle. But here, he didn't look sad at all. More like "well, now they're dead, crap, I'll have to think of something else now"

With Crest, I had the feeling that he needed 5 minutes to himself to process the death of his former... friend? I don't know, maybe I am reading too much into it.

Are there any fan theories on Noel Crest and Lucas Grey yet??
