#{Out of Luck} OOC

[hatterofthelabyrinth]

Hi, do you keep on the lookout for the exit all the time or do you settle somewhere and work your way from there?

Well, I used to think about settling down. Met a nice guy who helped me get my bearings here. I even thought about staying for a while. But uh…then the schism showed up, and I got a pretty harsh realization that to stay here meant changing into something I'm not against my will. Which didn't exactly seem very appealing to me, thanks. Had a moment or two where I tried to stop it from growing, but everything I tried just made it worse. So…here I am. On the move. Better to get going rather than stay in one place for too long, am I right?

ok i'm tired of answering asks go on ahead and give this a like for a short starter! or a longer one, depending. (multis please specify for whom!)

(wcau) due to his patch of territory being on clan borders, house has plenty of neighboring clan enemies (plainsclan territory and his overlap but since he's an ally and codstar's close friend, he's safe to hunt there even in winter when prey is scarcer; hunting on other clan territories is not as easily overlooked)

the deputy of this other (as of yet unnamed) clan has a particular bone to pick with him. ternstorm (tritter, name may change) isn't afraid to harm a free-roaming medicine cat, nor is he worried his torment -- more than is necessary for chasing someone from clan territory -- could end in his demotion as volestar (vogler) doesn't like house either. volestar, however, doesn't sign off on house's death either, as doing so would end in war

on the note of leaving people asks to answer in their own time — like this for a certified emmanuel forehead kiss in your askbox. sometimes it's physical, sometimes it's just em being a little ray of light brushing on people's foreheads to ease their thoughts. it's a little drabble sort of thing, no pressure to make a thread out of it .)

Hey, sorry for not posting for a while I’ve been dealing with stuff and also just super busy😅

ooc; Hello everyone.

I know I'm not around here very much, but I heard some news today and I felt I should write something about it.

For those of you that haven't heard, we lost an absolute legend today.

Ken Page, the voice of our beloved Boogieman, has died at the age of 70.

I obviously didn't know him personally, but I have known and still have the pleasure of knowing the character he loved and played so well.

When I first watched TNBC, I was captivated with the characters immediately, but I always loved to hate Oogie. He was the perfect villain to me: flamboyant, sinister, funny and scary. I've heard countless people say they were scared of the movie for how intimidating Oogie was.

I've always tried to embody the heart and spirit Ken Page gave to Oogie in his voice acting and I like to think I achieved it for the most part, but there truly would not be Oogie as we know him without Ken Page.

I had the honour of seeing him perform live at The Nightmare Before Christmas: Live in Concert in December 2019 and I was utterly spellbound by how good he sounded live and in person over twenty years since the release of TNBC.

He was, as I said, a legend that will truly be missed and even though he will never see my blog and will never know how much his performance touched me as an individual, I want to thank him from the bottom of my heart for bringing one of my all-time favourite characters to life.

This isn't the last time we'll hear the Boogie song 💚🖤💚

To give a perspective about how corruptive Moras matter is, even the smallest chunk of it, lets say the size of a plum, put into a vessel for it to possess would render the vessel unsavable for the 'original occupant' within a week. And that is if Mora hasn't done anything that expediates the mutations or corruptions (using powers, eating knowledge / memories, basically anything normal for Mora)

((When you are supposed to be doing replies, but instead are thinking up scenarios of how Andrealphus would respond to heartbreak.

The answer? Not well.

First he would wallow in self pity, self hatred and hurt with copious amounts of alcohol.

However, after enough time has passed, he would forcibly pull himself out of it and stamp down those emotions and feelings until he could no longer feel them.

He would then shut his heart back behind icy walls, using this heartbreak as a reminder of what happens when you feel too much. When you make the mistake of feeling and latching onto another, it ends in hurt, pain, and feeling like you were used, or your weakness was exploited. He would internalize this lesson again and shut himself completely off, not realizing that he is allowing his fear to dictate his life in this area.

Basically, any heartbreak is enough to have him reset to step 1 instead of exploring and feeling them to properly heal so that he could leave his heart open for another.))

SEE Y'ALL ON THE OTHER SIDE.

while i do totally understand having crappy experiences with oc's, so many of ryuji's closest ties - partners and best friends alike have been with them and as the post pointed out, all characters originated as oc's at one point or another - judge them on a case by case basis and don't let the toxicity of one affect the view of them all. i'm eternally grateful for all of the muses ryuji and i have gotten to meet and befriend and no doubt, especially love all the great friends he's met thanks to oc's, some of whom are my most treasured friends, so they're always welcome here.

[[so uh.... i've made an interesting purchase at a con today ....]]

i'm probably going to put a halt on new threads for the moment. i have a bunch of awesome starters to reply to as is, and no doubt if i add any more to the pile i will just get overwhelmed and not reply to any of them. which would be very sad! this does not apply to any threads i am actively planning that have yet to start; if we've been chatting about plots and threads, you're still on my docket :) just nothing brand new for the moment, at least until i make a dent in the replies/starters i owe. i also have abouuuuut 6? 7? longer lore posts drafted? i really don't make things easy for myself, do i? as always, i'm super duper grateful for your folks' patience. we will get there eventually!

Me watching God!Gale videos and people commenting 'this reveals who Gale was all along.'

Girl. What. No, it doesn't. It reveals Gale's INSECRUITIES that were not at all subtle throughout the entire game, that YOU chalked up as 'an arrogant man who just didn't know when to stop', and did NOTHING to help him understand that he is good enough just as he is.

Surely, we did not look at Gale's bad ending, Gale's ending where he does not fulfil his character arc, Gale's ending where he never got better, was never GIVEN better or told better or shown better, Gale's ending where you quite literally only bolstered his insecurities the WHOLE WAY THOUGH as the ending where Gale 'reveals his true personality.'

Man. I am so. Sorry it was just too hard for you to look at a dying man who was told to off himself by his goddess and simply say 'the Gale you are now is worth life and compassion.' Heaven forbid.

I feel sorry for anyone who actually has Kharon's phone number. He won't reply for like six months, and when he does it will just be a meme ( that is probably outdated. ) that he finds funny.

i think sean would make a good companion. if i had more confidence in writing the doctor, i would write an au where he gets to be one.

probably pre-canon, though.

although the thought of sean meeting nine and then getting jumpscared when he regenerates makes me laugh (sorry, sean)
