╰ㅤ₊ㅤ๋࣭ㅤreader x gr13f3r　 confession　 ᠀

ꔛ word count: 753⠀╱⠀established friendship + crush 。

(¬_¬")⠀⠀⠀note ⠀╱⠀my ass cannot write smth more than 780 words long erm...yeah....more griefer i love him sm sm sigh i want to smooch him till he can't say anything comprehensible,,also yeah i see he doing this sht like yeah idk,,edit uh,changed 1 thing cause i just wrote the same thing again lol

Griefer was the epitome of immaturity and insensitivity, a walking disaster who thrived on chaos and violence. He relished in commanding others with brute force, going as far as having his father forcibly extract the Venomshank for him.

Now, here he was, standing by the very river where you two had first met as toddlers, struggling to get out the cheesiest words he could muster. It was surreal—how could something so simple be so difficult? He had even watched movies to prepare for this moment, which he would never admit to anyone—except maybe his gorilla pet, the only one privy to the embarrassing secret that he had a massive crush on you. But now, Griefer was a complete mess, unable to string a coherent sentence together without stuttering like a fool. He, of all people, blushing like some schoolgirl confessing to her first crush—it was mortifying!

Taking a deep, shaky breath, Griefer finally blurted out, “L00K, PUNK—I, UH—I L1K3 Y0U A L0T… 3RM… CAN W3 G0 0UT S0M3T1M3? W3 C0ULD G0 T0 TH3 ARCAD3 1F Y0U WANT—N0T THAT 1 CAR3 0R ANYTH1NG… UH, 3RM, CAN W3 HANG 0UT—L1K3 A DAT3? N0, N0T A DAT3! JU5T A HANG 0UT! Y3AH, THAT!”

The words came out in a jumbled rush, faster than he intended, leaving Griefer standing there, heart pounding so hard it felt like it might leap out of his chest,what was he even thinking? Calling you to come to that place? Too cheesy! Stuttering in front of you? Pathetic! And just brushing off his attempt in asking you out? God- Embarrassing! He waited, every nerve in his body tense as he anticipated your response, but when nothing came, he panicked even more, brushing it off with forced bravado.

“WA1T, F0RG3T THAT—1T W4S N0TH1NG—HA! J-JU5T A J0K3, ALR1GHT PUNK? JU5T A J0K3.”

Awkward silence hung in the air as Griefer mentally berated himself for how disastrously wrong everything had gone. What had he been thinking, bringing you here of all places? The whole scenario was too cheesy, and his stuttering made him feel like an absolute idiot—God, could this get any more humiliating?

For a moment, he stared at the ground, too embarrassed to meet your eyes. The smile on your face only made him feel worse, as if you were mocking him silently. His palms grew sweaty—though he convinced himself it was just the heat of the jungle—and he took another deep breath, trying to muster the courage to speak again.

“L00K, PUNK, 1—”

But before he could finish, you gently placed a hand on his cheek, and he froze, blushing furiously. What were you doing? He stared at you in bewilderment, his heart skipping a beat as he took in how stunning you looked up close. No, he couldn’t think like that—he was already embarrassed enough.

“PUNK, WHAT AR3 Y—”

His words were cut off as your lips suddenly met his, and Griefer’s brain short-circuited. Panic surged through him, and if he could blush any deeper, he would’ve turned into a human tomato. What was he supposed to do? He’d never kissed anyone before—not properly, anyway. The closest he’d come was a peck on the cheek from a girl back in high school, which didn’t count for much. But now, here you were, the person he actually liked,the person he actually thought of without any violent thoughts before going to sleep,kissing him, and all he could think was how utterly unprepared he was.

Slowly, as if moving through a dream, Griefer raised a hand to your hair, his fingers awkwardly threading through it before trailing down to your cheek. Okay, maybe he was getting the hang of this. His other hand found its way to your hip, pulling you closer, and he tried—really tried—not to mess this up. Which,spoiler!, of course, he did.

After what felt like an eternity—an agonizing, yet heavenly eternity—you both pulled apart. Griefer stared at you, his mind reeling. That… was actually a good kiss, especially for his first time. But then reality set in, and the nerves came rushing back. He had just kissed you—no, YOU had kissed HIM! He always thought he’d be the one to make the first move, and now he felt even more stupid. Who could blame him, though? He was just a hopeless guy in love.

Taking a deep, trembling breath, he looked at you, his hands still slightly shaky, and with all the courage he could muster, he blurted out one last request:

“C-CAN W3 K1SS AGA1N?”

I saw the mustache before, but with this whinging expression... why does she look like she's trying to look like Jake? I mean she's a Mind player, so façades, but then using OTHERS' unique characteristics is a Heart thing-- no I should stop reading too much into this yet.

Aw fuck, wait, she's doing a running diary for her friends and/or Vriska of what's been going on. That's sad. :( (And slipping in meta commentary appreciated, don't think I didn't notice.)

Yeah, she ran away from everyone and everything just to try and get a change of pace for endlessly hoping for a life together with Vriska, or to get away from everyone else's weird troubles, or to run away from herself even further. But that rarely gets you anywhere constructive, and she chose some batshit crazy bedfellows in Dirk and his creepily-incestuously-hypnotized ecto-daughter.

Wait, this is implying that she really DID have a purpose here, somewhere. That there's something her Seer of Mind senses told her that she had to be here to get accomplished for some broader purpose she can't exactly put her finger on, much like a Seer of Light might.

And honestly, that tracks! Especially given she's a Seer of MIND, and possibly one of the only ones around who's still under Dirk's storywriting sway who might be able to subtly break Rose out from under the forced-reassurance hypnosis Dirk keeps using his storywriting, Prince of Heart powers to suppress her doubts and personality with, forcing Rose to essentially overembrace her role in guiding creation instead of balancing it with morality or love for her friends, convincing her that this is all important enough to ignore all of those things... On some level Terezi knows that's happening, so why IS she here? To wait for the right moment to strike? Or is she here because Dirk is manipulating her through the narrative into THINKING she has to be here in order to fulfill some later purpose that HE has in mind...?

Whose mind(s) are you trying to figure out? Which future consequences of decisions are you attempting to anticipate??

You never had a hope of controlling, judging or moderating them in the first place. Because from the very start, Dirk has been unyielding in refusing to RELINQUISH control, in refusing to allow anyone to doubt his plans or things not to go his way. Didn't Andrew (or Terezi or someone) point out in a conversation with Dirk that he had hoped Rose would serve as a moderating influence to his natural destructiveness, but BECAUSE he was using that same destructiveness to manipulate Rose and smooth out all her doubts and apprehensions, making her completely okay with playing God here without questioning the ethics of their actions, SHE'S the one going even more out of control than him? There's no way that he'd let Terezi interfere with his overall goal either... that goal is controlling HIM, rather than the other way around. As Ultimate Dirk, Dirk has YOKED himself to his worst nature, and any doubts he has as an individual are being overridden by his broader consciousness's insistence on being important and doing the most important things. On being a Storywriter and a Prince of Heart, even when it hurts people.

Also, pitting their species against each other serves very well as a way for them to have started/created the contest of Sburb and the original shape of the game in the first place, as I've said before, creating the originating session that formed the propagation method that seeded all of Paradox Space--

G'LUYRB, OF PORTENTS MOST GRIM: glurb

--Oh, well here we go. Rose's "species" is just the origin of the fucking Horrorterrors isn't it. Is Dirk going to make the Carapacians? I'm getting ahead of myself, let's have a look at the little guy Rose gave this cute Gl'bgolyb-like nickname.

Aw fuck I just saw the Vriska-x-Terezi childhood kismesis photo background on Terezi's phone before I clicked the next link, that's depressing.

==>

YUUUUUP. ROSE LALONDE IS STRAIGHT UP MAKING THE FIRST HORRORTERRORS that will eventually become the REST of the Horrorterrors.

Woohoo! The seed session of all Sburb sessions that ever existed in Paradox Space is almost off to the races!

==>

Terezi doesn't seem to think she's done a good job of keeping these two crazy assholes under control. XD

K1CK!

Yeah this is nonsense with serious potential consequences beyond even the level YOU'RE used to. And when you enjoyed this sort of thing more it was before you'd understood consequences better and developed a better conscience from the lessons you learned around the end of Act 5.

Oh, Dirk is bypassing her ignoring his pesterchum messages with a narrative link override, makes ominous enough sense (and/or he's using the Command Console from the ship to command-talk to her since she's good at parsing that) :

I'm going to need to interrupt you for a moment.

TT: You're laying in the dirt again. After all that time we spent alchemizing all of those fun little costumes for you.

The idea that they're spending some of their free time alchemizing Terezi some roleplaying outfits is a little cute.

TT: Looks like you aren't answering me, which I'm fine with. TT: This is only a formality. TT: I'm gonna send you the finalized version of my species. As the impartial judge, it's only fair that you're afforded a preview of the winning team. TT: I could easily forgo the permission settings of your device but as a token of good faith I've decided not to.

Dirk Strider dipping in to his Doc Scratch offshoot personality's mannerisms more than ever, lately, which only makes sense.

Ooh, a Satyr race, that sounds like it's going to be fitting for him (and has hooves). But that also doesn't fit the pattern (YET) of the origin of all Sburb sessions like I theorized... we just heard about Rose "leaving her junk everywhere" when creating all that experimental life, so is it possible that the Horrorterrors weren't born from her chosen race for this contest, whatever it ends up being, but rather from the FAILED experiments she left everywhere that ended up making their way out from the session into the Furthest Ring and multiplying?? :O

TT: I've already installed the appropriate observation app onto your device to save us both some time. I've also set you up with admin access to the session's terminal. You're welcome for that, by the way. GC: 1 S33 TT: Do you?

Pff, more blind jokes.

Alright I ought to have lunch now, but I should at least try to get to the end of the pages that were released on 10/08/23 before the end of the day before I leave things for another day to pace myself, so expect another post later today. We're leaving my first glimpse at Dirk's new Satyr race until after I've had lunch and a break, then!

That's right, Terezi - cogs are still turning, out here in the Veil. You might have completed your session, but its time mechanics are still very much in play - and you're predestined for a new objective.

Let me be the first to welcome you to Sgrub's postgame.

The operative word is seem. I think Dave is quite a bit more anxious than Karkat - he's just better at bottling it up, as we've seen before.

Plus, Karkat is always loud, even when he's calm.

That's something he does share with Dave - they both act like they have just one emotion, which masks what they're actually feeling.

Damn it, you'll fry your iShades!

Terezi said they'd try to eat him - but also that that this would be a friendly act. Consorts are weird, and I love it.

Unit Introduction: TECH IT OUT!!!

An unlikely friend group aspire to be the next big thing for their local music scene...

*this is all text & pretty long sorry 😭

═════════•°• ⚠ •°•═════════

About TECH IT OUT!!!:

They thought about using some leetspeak in their unit name ("T3CH 1T OUT" - 3 human members, 1 AI member) but decided against it because it sounded kinda cheesy

Most of their performances are as emcees or DJ's, but they're working to change that!

Their style/genre is pretty obvious lol: techno, disco/rave, anything with bass you can hear 3 blocks away.

if my 3 fan units were that misery/cpr/Reece's puffs mashup, they'd be the Reece's puffs part

Birthday: March 31

Height: 5'6" / 167cm

Hobbies: Robotics, Calligraphy

Specialty: Cosplay/Crossplay

Favorite Food: Breakfast Sandwiches

Least Favorite Food: Sweets

Dislikes: Dresses & Skirts

Jamie has the least traditional music knowledge, but she learns very quickly. She picked up a programming class when she was younger on a whim, and has since gotten exceptionally good at it. Her pet program, PRISM, eventually achieved full sentience/sapience - their dynamic is similar to "childhood friends." She's very uncomfortable with most feminine things as they relate to her/other's expectations of her, and prefers to wear clothes that are baggy or androgynous/masculine.

PRISM

Birthday: June 23

Height: In SEKAI, it is 5'5" / 165cm (it doesn't have a body in the [real world] at this time)

Hobbies: Meditation, Sci-Fi Shows/Media

Specialty: Retaining Information

Favorite Food: Unknown

Least Favorite Food: Unknown

Dislikes: Uncleanliness

PRISM likes to try new things, at least as much as it can without a body - which is why it's constantly pestering Jamie to build it one. It has a particular affinity for a certain sci-fi show, likely due to one of the characters. It feels a sort of kinship to the virtual singers, and has considered debuting as one in the past. In SEKAI, PRISM has a normal human body, and it takes full advantage of that to try different things "in person." Jamie brings it lots of different snacks.

Emerson and Jamie are unlikely friends who connected over getting a very stubborn raspberry pi to emulate snes games. Emerson comes from a powerful family, so there are a lot of expectations and pressure. Because of this, she stays up late to pursue her own passions and hobbies as well as explore the city. She has a well-cultivated sense of style, but for those who know her well, it doesn't seem to suit her very much.

somebody told me that terezi was a bad character on instagram so im gonna write an essay on why shes my fave character

first off her sheer chaotic energy is fucking iconic. the complaint on instagram wasnt about that because it cant be denied but shes just fucking insane and i love her for it. i think shed bite off my fingers and then insult the taste of my skin. shes just so crazy and weird and murderous and nerdy and i love her for it. we all know this. but theres a lot of her character that is so overlooked.

heres an essay on why metatextually and narratively, terezi is one of (if not THE) most important characters in homestuck and how that connects to her relationship with vriska.

vriska and terezi are described by hussie like this:

This is the most important character relationship resulting from all the sound and fury of Hivebent's chaotic dispensation... It's the arguable axis around which the whole epic revolves, when you really study all the ramifications from the fallout resulting from their rivalry, ensuing revenge cycle, and mutually floundering struggle for redemption, in the warped way each of them defines that idea.

so i mean even HUSSIE acknowledges that theyre important. and of course we all know vriska is obsessed with trying to be at the center of the narrative and you could say she pulls terezi into that but thats NOT what happens between them.

so terezi meets vriska at some undetermined young age and they flarp together and become close very quickly as seen in terezis memories in remem8er. and when all the drama in hivebent goes down you really see that they arent just stable in their quadrants but that their codependency plays into this vacillation in a really twisted way.

Another snapshot of the tortured Scourge Sisters dynamic, in a long tale of angst and ambivalence concerning justice and morality. Terezi wrestles with this eternally. She wants to bring Vriska to justice. But she doesn't. She does, doesn't, does, doesn't. Vriska thrashes back and forth in a different way. I'm sorry, see how sorry I am? Isn't being sorry ENOUGH? What more do you want? I'm sorry, not sorry, sorry, not sorry. And being not sorry takes the form of lashing out, incrimination, daring Terezi into action, calling her bluff, etc. So her vacillation is more like, I'm sorry, fuck you, I'm sorry, you don't have the guts, I'm sorry, just kill me already! The dangerous dance goes on and on.

so yes. vrisrezi good. vrisrezi complex. but what makes this even more tragic is how they act as the ultimate doomed yuri. before remem8er, terezi talks about a lot of heavy feelings she hasnt really let on before.

she talks about her sense of incompleteness in a way that reminds me of the way you see space players experience loneliness--which is cool given that mind as an aspect has some parallels to both space and time. and she talks about how shes never been complete on her own. going back to the instagram post i saw that said she doesnt feel rounded enough on her own--thats the point. so much of her character is defined by vriska that its a part of her own identity and a tragic part of her actual experiences. theres another hussie quote which is about vriska but still applicable--

For instance, you could write dozens of paragraphs of meta on Vriska alone. But the moment you stop writing about Vriska in a vacuum, and start writing about Vriska x Terezi, the avenues of analysis seem endless. It's a circuitous, psychologically tortured mutual arc of competitive codependency, which on closer inspection serves as the axis around which virtually the entire plot revolves.

her codependency with vriska is one of the most central components of the entire narrative. without terezi's internal torment over vriska there would be no homestuck as we know it. [s] flip and the aftermath of game over (F1X TH1S) are among the most important moments in the entire story and both are defined by vriska and terezi's dynamic.

im including this stuff without much commentary because it just acts as illustration of how much more depth to terezi than just crazy murdery lawyer dragon girl. yes, shes tormented over vriska and how she lost her in another timeline and all the choices shes made in different worlds but its also about her. her dependency on vriska is a symptom of this deep deep loneliness she holds inside her. theres something to be said about her lack of a lusus and specficially the fact that her lusus's egg was held on a scale weighing it against sburb-associated machinery

the prevention of her loneliness is always doomed. she has no lusus--but in order to have one, the world would have to end. she has vriska--but she loses her in every single timeline without fail. she flirts with the humans--but kills john in one timeline and dooms a dave in another. she cannot pursue intimacy or friendship or any form of relationship without losing both her loved ones along with everything else. its not just that she doesnt have a lusus--its that her lusus hatching will end the world. its not just that she loses vriska--its that in no timeline we see do they get a happy ending, and the closest they get in being erased from reality in each others arms.

she is tormented by so much more than just vriska. and i talk about this through so much angsty and dramatic words but its really true that shes so tragic. and tragedy isnt the only reason to love her because shes also so silly and crazy and weird and offputting etc but the instagram post that pissed me off so badly said that she became uninteresting after the earlier-comic characterizations of her with her bloodthirsty lawyer/executioner persona.

she says it here. yes she is weird and silly but beyond the parts of it that are engrained into her personality it seems to be (at least in part) an act to cover up how messed up she feels inside. she is so full of shenanigans and whatnot and doesnt display her issues the way a lot of characters do (even the prospit kids who are so known for repressing their emotions show more signs of distress that terezi does, to the point that hussie made sure to note that her distress was genuine when her lusus died!)

More great and very imaginative sound effects. "GENUINE" seems like maybe it's an unnecessary qualifier, until you consider that Terezi is so full of shit, many things she does could be considered ungenuine. So it pays to point out when she is sad for real, like when her newborn baby mom dies.

vriska, downright infamous for being surrounded in discourse around the context of her actions, is even more obvious than terezi. she too plays up an act of her unfazed coolness about all the stuff she does but shes less extreme about it in such a way that its more obvious when she slips a bit in that facade. when terezi is distressed she usually doesnt show it at all because her layers of weird silliness are too thick. shes just a lot better at the whole violent killing stuff than vriska is! you can see this in vriskas breakdown in vrisky business:

vriska has a total breakdown over realizing shell need to learn to hunt after losing her arm and she says this:

bascially saying that that prime difference between them is that vriska, yes, has learned to be ruthless and violent and manipulative (and was never a good person in the first place but it was her lusus that shaped her into being like this) while terezi never had that stress. she could do whatever she wanted and be as wild as she wished which is why she grew into the crazy troll girl who is the most important character in homestuck. with why i love her out of the way its some analysis timeeeeee.

i already mentioned how important flip and f1x th1s are but i wanna dive into that.

terezi exhibits an understanding of sburb's timelines better than anyone else, even time players, letting her do things like lead dave to her own doomed self on his quest bed, and it becomes clear that this is the nature of her mind powers, combined with a seer's intuition. she has many traits that involve seeing through different barriers, if that makes sense--she can navigate the world by forming a mental image of her surroundings by smell and taste after going blind, and she sees through the layers of sburb's bizarreness just as easily.

[s] flip is one of the first places this ability is used in a way this vital to the progression of the main plot--she uses her powers to stop vriska from dooming them all.

Any divergence from this path to my knowing will taper into blackness like rotting roots. But if I was a Seer, such offshoots would be fully within my domain... A Seer would support her allies in battle not with her weapons, but her vision. She would sift through dross of her comrades' poor tactical inclinations and examine the grim consequences. A Seer would not charge into the fray headlong but direct it as a conductor with a baton. She would have the sight to eschew the obvious gambits, and find the path to victory disguised cleverly as setback, or even imminent defeat. She would behold the fortunes of friends and foes in totality, and appraise the contrivance of luck itself...A true Seer would know where luck is a given, where it is absent, and most importantly, where it doesn't matter at all. And she would know victory doesn't matter in a reality where all else is doomed to fail.

being from doc scratch this is ofc not 100% reliable information but its still some good meta. the last couple lines really emphasize her narrative place--as a seer, she is aware of the big picture, and as a seer of mind, she is more specifically aware of the branching timelines formed in sburb. she is a mastermind behind the plot but lacks the tools to truly direct it. (and i will also go ahead and point out the line about acting as a conductor since thats a very important symbol in homestuck representing movements of the story much like an orchestral symphony.

the actual conductors we see are the cherubs, calliope in particular. calliope and caliborn are characters with actual narrative power (caliborn takes over the whole story!) so its pretty impressive to be compared to that.

but it turns out terezi does in fact have a place in the story almost at this level of power.

it's revealed that the initial version of the events following the coinflip were in terezi's vision:

and that she turned around on that initial path to prevent it from happening. on its own, this isnt that significant. but this moment is the moment that the retcons revolve around, with an entire axis of the plot centered around this single moment between vriska and terezi woven together with terezi's visions and powers.

john may be the one to carry out the actual retcons, but terezi is both the one who ordered him to do so and the orchestrator of the entire narrative rewrite. this is the moment when she raises the conductors baton. this is why i refer to terezi rewriting the universe, not john.

all john did was use his powers to carry out the list of instructions that terezi used her powers to develop. most of them are of arguable vitality but the one that truly changes everything is the rewriting of vriska's death. by doing this, terezi is the reason why homestuck does not end in the disaster of game over. were it not for terezi, homestuck would have a far more tragic ending that the bittersweet conclusion we're actually left with. there are many characters who display a level of narrative control--vriska pulling the spotlight towards herself and being somewhat aware that a narrative like homestuck exists; the very existence of john's powers; doc scratch's role as a stand-in narrator on a level comparable to hussie's avatar; caliborn's narrative takeover in act 6 and ascension to lord english; calliope's role as a storyteller of the existing narrative--the list goes on. but terezi's actions are perhaps the most significant, even if her level of control is nowhere close, rewriting the story of homestuck entirely. she does get the password pages in there, which i'll definitely count as a sort of metanarrative presence in the presentation of the comic (like caliborn and doc scratch's site rethemes). yes, john does the necessary actions to achieve this end, but would not have been able to do so without the anchor points of terezi's direction of the plot.

and once again, this is inseparable from her relationship with vriska. yes, she does this to give another timeline a chance at victory, and to carry on her story in another life as she dies in the pre-retcon timelines, but it's also for vriska. killing vriska broke terezi as much as it broke the narrative and so rewriting canon for vriska gives that other version of herself a second chance. there is not point in leaving vriska out of this because the relationship between the two and the push and pull of their tumultuous dynamic is what is at the heart of the narrative--not one or the other.

and even with such a significant role, she is still bound to her fate outside of the changes john can make. im gonna bring back some dialogue from earlier--

she does not have the godlike narrative position that the cherubs achieve. shes not even a godtier! and thats another part of what makes her so tragic. she knows enough about sburb to navigate it and play it to her advantage but not enough to gain the self fulfillment she wants.

highlighting this part, her seer abilities are both her greatest power over the narrative and one of her most tragic parts.

she has access to infinite timelines and choices and can tell how things will turn out but she cant simply unlock those realities and memories beyond her experiences. having the access to the memories of a better life also isnt necessarily a plus.

the access to this knowledge seems to be a part of why she is so internally desperate for answers. the solution is right there seemingly but just out of reach. and in this desperate moment of trying to unlock those answers?

she remem8ers. (and i know the title of the flash is a reference to the song used in it but i will also point out just how vrisrezi it is to have her desperate attempts to recall her other self's memories be written in vriska's typing quirk)

at the end of this flash, terezi and vriska are about to be literally wiped from reality forever. and yet, they face that end smiling in each others arms. they are no longer relevant. there is no narrative significance to this moment. but its still what terezi needed to see in order to fulfill that part of herself.

um. i spent all day writing this in my free time. enjoy.

Departure Day

Hey Siri, play North To Alaska by Johnny Horton.

July 24, 2023: We left the desert for Alaska's Last Frontier this morning. Flying with a group of friends, the plan is to cover roughly 6,500 miles over the next 3 weeks. I'm not sure if I'll post all or some of my travel notes here or not, but I'll post updates and thoughts as time and a connection allows. I didn't take time to load the queue so this might be all that gets posted until we get home.

Nowhere is it hotter, or colder, than your local airfield. The thermometer hanging on the wall confirmed what the beads of sweat that fell off my face already told me. It was stupid hot at 5:49AM. 96° in the shade. Gooood fuck morning.

Our steed for this trip is Isa's sister from another mister, 1 Tango Sierra, a Cessna 185 we bought to explore off the grid locations that would be hard or next to impossible to access with anything else. She's a few years older than the last 185 Cessna produced in 1985. Thanks to the tender loving care taken by the former owners and significant upgrades we've made, she still turns heads everywhere we go. With continued regular maintenance she could easily still be airworthy long after we're not.

What took weeks to itemize, organize, and pack into totes in the garage was packed into the back of 1TS Tetris-style and secured in what felt like minutes. The Boy Scout def earned his organization and preparedness merit badges for this trip. Bags and totes loaded and the walk around complete, we pulled 1TS out and brought her to life. Like all Continental engines she doesn't have an inside voice. Instead she bellowed her distinctive, unapologetic good morning across the east ramp. A sound that never fails to put a smile on my face.

Friends flying 3CM, a spit polished C180 based in Phoenix, and 7NZ, an Aviat Husky based in Texas that flew in a couple of days ago, made the first leg to the remote hamlet of Winnemucca Nevada with us. Leaving PHX was a little bumpy until we got above 8,500' where the air was like glass. The tradeoff to being that high is, despite what the instruments say, it feels like you're standing still. We took turns monitoring the panel and the sky while the other rested or read. By a little after 11 we had covered nearly 600 miles and were entering the pattern for WMC.

The rest of 'the squadron' for this trip, 721, another C185, and 66E, an experimental, both based in Southern California, were already on the ground when we arrived. After refueling and stretching our legs for a few minutes, we departed north toward Bellingham. The ride for the second leg was a little more turbulent than from PHX to WMC but not terrible. We also had a dry ride until eastern, central Washington where, surprise, surprise, we ran into light rain that turned into not so light rain almost all the way into Bellingham.

By the time we were tied up on the ramp at BLI we were starving, and after nearly 10 hours of being still, felt like running to the hotel instead of riding in the 4 Ubers we needed to haul us to it. Except for two nights in transit and nights in Juneau, Fairbanks, Anchorage, and Seward we'll be "roughing it" on a gravel bar or an unimproved backcountry strip rather than staying in a hotel. What did I sign up for again? After 9 hours in the air today covering 1,236 miles I'm too tired to think about it.

Candy, page 16

JOHN: hey terezi, guess where i am right now?

TEREZI: YOUR HUM4N W3DD1NG

JOHN: considering that humans are the only species on earth c with the concept of weddings, technically all weddings are human weddings, so there’s really no reason to qualify it like that terezi.

TEREZI: WH3N D1D YOU G3T SO HUNG UP ON S3M4NT1CS

JOHN: when i became a real adult.

JOHN: speaking of which, no. i am not at my human wedding.

JOHN: that was months ago!

TEREZI: WH4T

JOHN: you forgot!

JOHN: i thought you said you’d try to make it back in time for it.

TEREZI: JOHN 1 T4LK3D TO YOU Y3ST3RD4Y

JOHN: ...

JOHN: wow.

JOHN: i knew time moved differently out there than it does here, but that’s really something else.

JOHN: it’s been almost six months for me.

TEREZI: >:?

JOHN: ok, well in that case, i guess i can forgive you for missing my wedding.

TEREZI: YOU C4N DO TH4T 1F YOU W4NT BUT 1 N3V3R 4CTU4LLY 4SK3D FOR YOUR FORG1V3N3SS H3H3H3H3

TEREZI: 4ND 1 H4V3 NO 1NT3NT1ON OF 4POLOG1Z1NG

JOHN: everyone really wanted to see you!

JOHN: kanaya, dave and karkat have all asked about you like, a zillion times.

TEREZI: R34LLY

TEREZI: 4 Z1LL1ON

JOHN: ok i’m *obviously* exaggerating for effect, but they’ve asked a lot. karkat says you’ve been ignoring his messages for literal years at this point.

JOHN: actually, now that i’m thinking about it... why am i the only one you ever answer?

TEREZI: ...

JOHN: i mean, we weren’t even that close, were we? not like you were with him.

TEREZI: DONT OV3RTH1NK 1T 3GB3RT

TEREZI: 4WKW4RD P4TCH3S? L1K3 WH4T

TEREZI: W4S G4MZ33 TH3R3

JOHN: er, yeah. but he wasn’t that bad for once.

JOHN: he mostly just hung out by the punch and tried to touch jake’s ass.

JOHN: jake... oh god, ok see, the worst part was when roxy had to throw the bouquet, right?

JOHN: jane and jake are kinda, um, together now.

TEREZI: OH GOD

JOHN: and she basically ordered jake to catch the bouquet “or else.”

JOHN: i was seriously afraid for him. and then he didn’t even catch it!

TEREZI: WHY D1D SH3 W4NT 1T SO B4D

TEREZI: 1S 1T 3D1BL3?

JOHN: whoever catches the bouquet is the next couple to get married.

JOHN: none! it’s just a thing humans do for fun.

TEREZI: SO 1TS 4 SUP3RST1T1ON

JOHN: i’d call it more of a tradition... although in the case of jane and jake, superstition might be a more appropriate word.

TEREZI: DO3S TH4T M34N...

JOHN: yeah. they’re all dating.

JOHN: or rather... jade is dating them both.

JOHN: dave and karkat haven’t... exactly figured things out yet.

JOHN: and as much as i love jade, i don’t actually think she’s helped matters by putting herself in the middle of it.

TEREZI: HMM >:[

TEREZI: SOM3HOW TH4T DO3SNT S33M R1GHT

JOHN: i know.

JOHN: and that’s why it was so messed up that jade caught the bouquet!

JOHN: now i have to pretend to laugh and think it’s funny when she makes jokes about being the next to “tie the knot.”

TEREZI: WOW D1D SH3 R34LLY GO FOR TH4T DOUBL3 3NT3NDR3

JOHN: har har. ok you’re right. things are pretty good right now if that’s the worst thing i have to complain about.

JOHN: things’ll probably work out with those three anyway. things always work out between old friends.

JOHN: we’ve all known each other for too long for anything to cause a permanent rift.

[pinktatertots99]

PLEASE WRITE KANKRI HITTING ON RUFIOH THROUGH AN ELABORATE THESIS ITD BE SO FUNNY

nonnie...i would be so honored. THIS ONES FOR YOU and all my like, five rufkri shippers out there.

basically kinda sorta more a love confession but ey its kinda flirty with wha he talks about.

also for some who need the helps: rufioh uses 1′s for i’s, kankri uses 6′s for B’s, and he uses 9′s for O’s -ye i’m adding this just incase, we all need reminders cause kankri’s can be a fucking headache of a quirk-

-COUGHS- my archiveofourown link to this fic -COUGHS-

_____________________________

your name is rufioh nitram and your taking a breath for yourself for once. you find yourself in a dream bubble you re-imagined as your old lost boy's location: tall blue and pink tree's with red cherry colored petals on them and littered at their tops various treehives connected via bridge's, stair cases, the gist.

you lay back on one of them that was your's, a big blocky one that has a couple windmills on top of it laying on the ledge that covered the top of your front door. kicking your leg absentmindedly as ol nostalgia rings through you, you barely get this kinda alone time but talk bout the advantage's of dream bubbles and damara's nice descendant escorting you.

until you hear the grass crunch from under you. you could just ignore it, finally steal some time for yourself but that’s not how your gears work; damn rogue bullcrap. you open your colorless eyes and move to look over your left where your sitting and spot a blob of red and feel a weird sense of relief.

its none other then your groupies lead spokesman kankri vantas walkin around trying to find you from how he keeps looking to his sides. kankri’s...something alright. sure everyone complains bout how much he babbles on bout half baked facts, preachy, pushy, an angry lil firecracker; actually maybe that’s why he’s so angry.

oddly though your not around alot for those, you’ll eyeroll at somethings but otherwise he’s pretty chill around you. bonus he’s celibate so you finally have someone who won’t try hitting on you every time you breathe in their direction. also your a mutant like him so mutant bro’s unite you’d think, it was cool finding you weren’t the only ‘cullbait’ of the gang honestly.

you go to get up and stretch your wings and back a bit. you may aswell make a sick entrance. you go run two steps and jump, your falling for a few seconds and it has your adrenaline pump before your wings pick up their flapping and have you flying downward slowly.

you saw kankri see you with near panic but pretty neutral look, dude barely had any sorta reactions but that was alright if it meant you could spot the teeniest moment he’d be thrown off as you land on the grass softly five steps away from him.

“9h.” he replies as you snicker. “pretty s1ck r1ght?” “in y9ur ling9 yes 6ut i advice y9u t9 please try n9t t9 use it s9 l99sely especially ar9und th9se in medically unwell situati9ns.”

you rub behind your neck. “sorry. anyways wha’ up? pass1n by?” you notice a pile of papers in his arms, maybe he’s gonna go preaching to some of those new human ghosts maybe? your betting the dude with the pointy glasses will be a conflict to him if he does.

“9h n9 actually i came t9 find y9u.” he states and you perk up a bit. find you? “megid9′s descendant was kind en9ugh t9 esc9rt me here.” ah her, you really should’ve figured. you take a step or two closer lookin down to see him cause dude’s fuckin short. “yeah? uhhh alr1ght, well what’s up?”

he looks back to his papers almost, hesitant? kankri vantas nervous? tarnish the thought till he looks back up clearing his throat. “genetical uniqueness.” ...what? “what?” you ask as he continues. “genetical uniqueness in 9ne’s self is a kn9wn fact9r 9ne sees in an9ther that is a small step to a gr9wing infatuati9n in said individual whether it 6e aesthetical, physical or pers9nality wise.”

...you...you don’t know what’s going on. is he giving a lecture? seminar? on genetics? oh gog messiah’s dangit kankri may be your boy as you’ve called him before (not around him you know better) but man there’s only so much of him you can chill with until it starts getting to well, this point. you don’t stop him though cause kankri vantas never stops until he’s finished.

“s9me f9rms 9f genetical uniqueness c9uld c9me fr9m all 9f th9se and m9re. f9r example, an unc9mm9n s9cietal genetic that while n9t unc9mm9n can 6e seen as a f9rm of interest to s9me9ne and unique. whether freckles, hatchmarks or, wings perhaps.” your wings flap at that.

“9f c9urse t9 t9uch 9n the first three f9rms 9f attraction i mentioned if y9u d9n’t mind my reference 6ack t9 the su6jects at hand, an aesthetical attracti9n t9 certain f9rms 9f attire and style that differ’s fr9m 9ne’s 9wn can 6e an9ther. 9f c9urse this is entirely su6jective as n9 indivudals are the same 9n this manner h9wever 9pp9site’s attract seem t9 have m9re likelih99d t9 find 69nds in a multitude 9f ways. examples 9f this kind 9f su6ject is perhaps a rebel-esque design that c9rrelates t9 s9me a resistance t9 a c9nf9rma6le s9ciety with it’s 9wn strict regulati9ns and laws. s9mething like rigid and ripped attire 9r sharp disc9l9red hair c9uld 6e examples that 9ne wh9 while n9t p9ssibly sharing th9se designs with them finds inspiring t9 l99k t9.”

you look at your ripped jeans and vest. you...kinda still dont know what he’s going on about, but you keep listening.

“the sec9nd aspect, physical is 9n a similar subjectivity as while 9ne finds a physical aspect 9f s9me9ne attractive an9ther will n9t. h9wever physical attracti9n inv9lves s9me f9rm 9f the 9ther individuals 69dy they deem as p9tentiality t9 perhaps engage in a quadranted arrangement with said individual whether h9rns, fangs, a smile that gives a pleasant crease to their facial structure, their 69dy language when shy 9r excited, perhaps even height as acc9unta6le as studies sh9w a pred9minant interest in a taller partner for feelings of pr9tecti9n, sta6ility, 9r an9ther f9rm 9f 9pp9site’s attracting if the 9ther party isn’t their perceived interest’s 9wn height.”

you rub the back of your neck...nervously. your not dumb your getting some serious implications. you don’t wanna believe them, nah no way kankri’s celibate maybe he’s talking bout someone else? alotta their team has nice smiles and taller then him or dress ‘rebelistic’ as he calls it.

“lastly there’s attraction to pers9nality. m9st w9uld like a pers9nality they find in s9me f9rm similar t9 their 9wn t9 gain n9t 9nly m9re in c9mm9n t9 create a 69nd 6ut als9 as a starting part f9r c9mm9nality t9 make it easier t9 take the necessary steps. s9me h9wever may find attracti9n t9 a pers9nality that differs fr9m their 9wn. why is dependa6le 9n certain pers9nal aspects but m9st are 9ut of jeal9usy f9r seeing s9me9ne they are n9t, 9r perhaps admirati9n t9 have what they have 6ut cann9t 9r are una6le t9 yet due t9 their 9wn pers9nal reas9ns and s9 they try finding a partner wh9 has s9me 9f th9se aspects they cann9t harness. n9t in a c9ntr9lling way mind y9u n9r t9 use them 6ut due t9 a f9rm 9f admirati9n and interest.”

you nod as he perks up. “ah, ap9l9gies h9wever menti9ning quadrants earlier. they have a varying r9le in these f9rms 9f attracti9n 6ut i failed t9 reitterate this 6eing m9re 9pen t9 interpretati9n 9n any f9rm 9f quadrants i’m referring t9 as many 9f these examples in this thesis can 6e f9r any quadrant. als9 ap9l9gies f9r the menti9n 9f this su6ject due t9 y9ur recent 6reak fr9m y9ur matesprit i didn’t mean f9r any kind 9f harm t9 y9u 9n it.” “nah 1t’s okay 1 get 1t. 1′m f1ne.”

he nods going back to his papers, least it looks like he’s almost done. “thank y9u. n9w where was i? right. n9w many examples 9f pers9nality attracti9n vary fr9m pers9n t9 pers9n 6ut i shall use a hyp9thetical and keep in mind it’s 9nly hyp9thetical. perhaps s9me9ne is rather una6le to s9cialize with any f9rm 9f 9ther parties due t9 varying 9pp9site interests or 9stracizati9n fr9m said gr9up. perhaps they meet s9me9ne wh9, perhaps shares s9me f9rm 9f genetical uniqueness t9 them, perhaps als9 having similar experiences t9 what their shared s9ciety 9r even different s9cieties share similarities t9. b9th gr9w and act very differently due t9 h9w they react and are raised in said s9ciatal climate. while the first hyp9thetical partner gr9ws t9 6e m9re f9refr9nt and 9pen t9 their 9wn th9ughts that s9me find c9ntr9versial the sec9nd partner is pers9nally flexible with an exteri9r design and m9re positive pers9nality s9me find m9re likely t9 fl9ck t9 them m9re.”

he’s hiding behind his papers but you swear you saw those cheeks turning a tint of red. your blushing too but you don’t know if its the same as his. your pumpbiscuit is beating hard but you don’t know if its infatuation or anxiety.

“perhaps, when the first pers9n sees this they find themselves just as infatuated to make themself kn9wn t9 this pers9n due t9 their 9pen relia6ility. perhaps they als9 feel a f9rm 9f jeal9usy that they are unable t9 have the same people-friendly exteri9r t9 them and, wish they had that ability t9 d9 s9. may6e the 9ther seems, at least t9 the first individual, 9pen t9 them and what they have t9 say 9r are fine with spending time with them that has the first individual to sl9wly c9me t9 terms with their 9wn feelings 9n this pers9n. even, s9 far as t9 admit even with their 9wn pers9nal views 9f themselves and their 9wn 6eliefs, they may find them, expenda6le t9wards this individual.”

okay no the beating is anxiety now, this is WAY too much you see it all now and your...scared. your really scared now. he sighs and clears his throat again. “in c9nclusi9n i 6elieve these f9ur fact9r’s are likely c9mp9nants t9 6uild a f9rm 9f r9mantic attracti9n 9ne may find in an9ther. s9, what did y9u think 9f it?”

your horrified, your rubbing your arm nervously and trying to put on a smile for him. “1t’s...pretty good yeah. real conv1nc1ng.” you feel like such a douchebag right now getting nervous. your recent break with horrus was, okay shitty to say, but it was nice having a break from romance.

you know you know that’s really shitty, but you feel the need to put all you can in it and you get drained and can’t keep going sometimes. its like the break charges you up so then your back to giving him your all and it repeats. it sucks, but he loves you and you feel even more douchy at the idea of telling him you can’t do it anymore, ever, after yanking his chain for this long.

you...don’t want that for kankri. your at a 50% charge right now on romancing least flushed wise, you never tried the other quad’s before. what if he wants flushed? you can’t do that you’d lose him if you pulled what you do to horrus on him cause you really kinda, don’t know how to stop or talk about it. 

even then you don’t even know if your both broken up for good or what, you could end up with him again and then it’d be a damara situation and you don’t want kankri to be your next damara he keeps grudges way longer then her (which your surprised she tolerates you enough even with her grudge but you digress).

even then all he talked about felt, surface level. like everyone’s crush’s on you; except meenah which guess this means she’s the only one never to flirt with you now. damn it. still though he doesn’t even really know you, sure he could learn but, do you really want him to? learn about how much of a fraud you are? how all this is an act and you honestly have no fucking clue why anyone likes you? how you can’t be your own troll? gog he’d be so disappointed he goes on about trolls equalizing and needing their own rights to be their own troll but you can’t do that; not even for him probably.

point is: your shit at flushed and you don’t want kankri involved. you wanna give him those free feelings your classpect is supposed to do. hard part is, how’re you gonna let him down?

before you can think further he speaks up. “i’m glad y9u think s9. y9ur an excellent listener rufi9h i d9 genuinely appreciate it.” you see a twitch at the end of his lip and it pains you the fact he almost smiled. “perhaps we can have m9re 9f these meetups next time?” he asks taking a step to leave.

your surprised but kinda relieved too, least he’s not asking you out, but then again he’s also coming back sometime. meaning he might get more and more confident to actually pop the question your not ready to burst his bubble with your response with yet.

you smile though and wave at him. “ahah, sure sure 1′ll be here for 1t. or, we can meetup here?” he nods moving to look away as he walks off. “i will make n9te 9f that f9r 9ur next c9nversati9n. take care nitram.” he states, you watch as he gets more distant and vanishes in the forest.

you sigh long and relieved and go to fly back to your spot, moving to lay down on it though as you let it all soak in. your rufioh nitram and you just got flirted with by the kankri celibate vantas himself.

Title: A Fateful Night <33333333 Genre: Fluff Pairings: John <3 Vriska, John <3< Terezi, Vriska <> Terezi (JohnVrisRezi)

AN: ( This is my first fanfic so don’t judge me harshly, I’m just in love with this ship <33333333) 

John felt the cool night time wind blow through his black hair, and a wave of anxiousness crawled up his spine. He waited a long time for this, and tonight was the night he’s going to do it. He had tried many times before, but could never let the words escape his throat. John checked his watch, and then looked around. He checked his watch again. He waited. And continued to wait. He frantically checked his watch one more time, and then darted his head around.

where is she? He thought to himself.

It was right then when he saw her approaching. Vriska Serket. The most beautiful troll he had ever seen, the luckiest player in her session, and the one who has all the irons in the fire. (Aaaaaaaall of them). 

Multiple emotions shot through John’s chest, first, the shock he felt every time he saw her and was reminded of how beautiful she was. Second, the glee he felt that she actually arrived. Then, the anxiousness and worry for the coming moments. Despite planning this for a long time, John was all but emotionally prepared. 

VRISKA: Heeeeeeeey! ::::)

JOHN: *gulp* hi vriska!

John inched to the side a bit, making room for Vriska on the blanket.

VRISKA: So what’s the situ8ion?

JOHN: i just wanted to hangout and watch the stars!

John and Vriska both laid down on the blanket, watching the bright stars twinkle. The sky was open and dark, the moon shone at full and illuminated the earth below with a barely visible silver glow.

John looked at vriska through the side of his eyes, wanting to catch a glimpse of her but not wanting to let her know he was looking. A faint smile crossed his face, he opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out. He tried again. Nothing.

VRUSKA: Soooooooo… Do 8nything fun lately?

JOHN: o-oh! i rewatched con-air again last night. nicholas cage is so cool!

A light giggle escaped Vriska’s lips.

VRISKA: You and your nerd movies. ;;;;)

JOHN: hey! cont-air is a great movie! one of the best ever made.

VRISKA: Of course a nerd like you would say that!

John and Vriska shared a good laugh. The moment was pleasant, but John still couldn’t choke up the words. Then, an unexpected visitor arrived. A figure approached the blanket they were laying on. It was Terezi Pyrope.

TEREZI: H3Y 3GB3RT 4ND S3RK3T >:]

TEREZI: WH4T’S TH3 DE4LIO H3R3?

JOHN: you’re not-

John tried to speak, but was cut off by Vriska.

VRISKA: Hey terezi! We’re just h8nging out and watching the stars!

TEREZI: SOUNDS L1K3 FUN!!!!

Terezi tramped onto the blanket and flopped down right between Vriska and John.

JOHN: hey! 

John shouted.

VRISKA: R8laaaaaaaax, John. ::::) She’s just here to hangout with us! 8etter three than two, r8?

John let out an aggravated sigh and crossed his arms.

TEREZI: 4WWWWW, 1S TH3 NERD UPS3T?

VRISKA: May8e you’re encroaching upon his precious “us” time! ;;;;)

TEREZI: T33 H33, SORRY 3GB3RT!

Vriska and Terezi began cackling with laughter.

JOHN: guys, cut it out!

TEREZI: 4R3 W3 HURTING YOUR W1TTL3 F33WINGS?

Terezi and Vriska continued to laugh. John began feeling a deep rooted rage boil up from his stomach, and couldn’t hold himself back.

JOHN: no! i’m mad because i was gonna tell vriska how i feel and then you came and ruined it like you always do!

Abrupt silence followed.

TEREZI: T3LL VR1SK4 HOW YOU F33L?

VRISKA: *gasp* ::::O

John’s face quickly turned a bright red and he began quaking in his shoes.

JOHN: um... well… you see… i… uh…

TEREZI: SP1T 1T OUT 3GGBOY

JOHN: vriska, i… i… like… you...  *gulp*

Another moment of abrupt science. Terezi began howling with laughter.

TEREZI: H4H4H4H4H4H4H4H4H4H4H4! YOU FUCK1NG DORK. H4SN’T SH3 TOLD YOU ALR4E4DY?

JOHN: told me what?

TEREZI: SH3 AND 1 AR3 4LRE4DY P41LING!

JOHN: WHAT

VRISKA: We are! Paling as in the p8le quadrant!

JOHN: >:B

TEREZI: H4H4H4H4H4H4H4H4! 1 GOT YOU!

VRISKA: 8nyways John… I’ve always liked you too. 

John’s face turned bright bright red.

JOHN: r-really?

TEREZI: OH GI1V3 M3 A BR34K

Vriska stood up and approached John. She leaned in and kissed him, John responding with shock at first but then pressing back soon. It was a blissful moment and he wished it would’ve lasted longer, but too soon Vriska pulled back.

VRISKA: I loooooooove you, John! <33333333

JOHN: i love you too vriska <3

TEREZI: DORKS <3

I actually really like that idea.

"We played the game. We know you created us, and we know you were probably as confused as we were. We know nothing about you, or your motivations - but nevertheless, we are grateful. Thank you. Thank you for making us exist."

Sollux lmao. I love his custom emoji.

So Karkat was the last to learn about the humans? Damn.

It's no wonder he lost control of the team. By the time he woke up, multiple plans were already in motion, and at least half of them were Vriska's.

I love how quickly Feferi woke up once the humans entered the picture.

Let me talk to )(im, guys! I'm the )(EIRESS! First contact rights are MIN---E! 38D

Most of the Veil items had a purpose, but I don't see what effect a dead horse will have on the timeline. Maybe Mom will clone her to create the original Maplehoof, or something.

It seems the child's lusus was slain in the collision. He will grow up an orphan, just like you.

It's really interesting, watching Terezi interpret events through an Alternian cultural lens. Like - yeah, Maplehoof does look like Dave's lusus here, the same way Bec looks like Jade's. Halley too, come to think of it.

There seem to be a lot of pseudo-lusi floating around. Maybe it's an echo of Alternia's lusus system, trying to weakly assert itself.

This adult alien male appears to be taking on the role of his custodian, instead of killing the boy outright.

Not from lack of trying!

[bow-wow-wark-wark]

Hiii happy 4th hypmic anniversary, I know it's been like 3 days since the actual anniversary but *shrugs* anyways I wanted to answer the questions from this post to celebrate!! (This is going to be a long post lol, this just brings a ramble instinct in me)

1. How and when did you get into HyplMic?

I got into hypmic during the end of September/ start of October of last year, it feels like a lot of time and very little at the same time lol... so many people in the fandom have liked this for super long!! I got into it bc of someone I followed on twitter, they would talk about it sometimes and I was getting a bit sick of the music I listened too so I thought "why not expand my music taste?" Little that I know It was going to become the only thing I listened too lol. I also saw this like "a hypmic characther once said" video and I thought it was soooo funny I just had to get into it. I'm honestly surprised hypmic started in 2017 bc I was going through a god awful musical phase and knowing I could have liked it earlier in life amuses me (tho back then I thought anime was silly so it wouldn'thave happened either).

2. First impressions of the characters? Who stuck out the most?

(Another long one soz) I'm going to do most of them btw.

Buster bros: ichiro was the 1st chara I knew before I got into it, for a bit I had him mixed up with jyushi tho lmao. Tbh I didnt have a very strong opinion on him, I wasn't super into BB at the start 😅 same with jiro, I liked him the most, thought he was really cute. At the start I disliked saburo a bit lol, like he was just soooo mean and I didn't like that, also I wasnt a huge fan of new star at the start so I didnt like him bc of that either.

MTC: I had to fight a lot to openly like mtc, I felt a bit bad liking them at the start bc they're all like criminals and stuff lol. I have to be honest I think that at the start I didnt think about them like at all... the strongest impression here was Rio, he was my favorite also I thought jyuto was hilarious bc of the start of bayside smoking blues, I really liked his voice too.

Fling posse: ok so the moment I saw Ramuda I was like "this guy is evil as balls isnt he?" I was pretty right lol, I thought he was a child like saburo at the start bc hes so small, man fooled me there. I liked dice the most at the start, my 1st fanart is of him lol. I didnt have very strong opinions on Gentaro, I was surprised to find out his VA also voiced yamaguchi since I was a haikyuu fan if anything.

Matenro: Lol matenro was my favorite (still is), idk what was it but I saw all of them and I was like: great :D I dont remeber specific impressions tho.... It was almost like love at first sight lol. I remeber I really liked the fact that both hifumi and doppo had tips, I thought it was super cool.

BAT: ok so I also knew who kuuko was before I got into hypmic my actual actual 1st fanart was of him (I did it before I even knew what hypmic was like at all). I really liked him, I remember listening to gyara bam and being like "this guy rules so much", I really liked jyushi, as mentioned before I had him mixed with ichiro (they look nothing a like I dont even know how) I was super shocked to find out he was also a teen lol I was pretty happy. Not gonna lie I had no idea who hitoya was at the start (rip) I knew kuuko I knew jyushi but I didnt know him, I dont remeber being very big on him till like the dramas and getting more into hypmic bc before nothing nada.

Dotsuhon: lol I slept on dotsuhon for the looongest time, I literally only liked sasara, rosho and rei were just really there for me. Sasara was my favorite bc I loved his voice and tragic transitor gace me unrivaled latino vibes so he felt very close to me in a sense. I thought rei was a scumbag the moment I laid eyes on him.

3. Who was the first character you liked?

My 1st favorites before I found out about bat and dotsuhon where jiro and hifumi!! I really liked their voices and like over all attitude and stuff.

4. Which was the first Division you liked?

My favorite was matenro, they were just so cute and I liked how they were pretty chill and just had fun most of the time. Like how they tried looking all edgy and intimidating but they were all nice guys lol.

5. How have your favorites changed?

Not much lol my favorite is still hifumi tho know I have jyushi and Otome if were ranking on like top 3. I love all the charas now tho!!! Lol these are just my bigger ones. Division wise now my favorite is mtc, followed by bat I'm still a matenro stan tho!! All divisions have done some big growing on me so I love all of them anyways.

6. What was the first song you listened to?

The 1st song I listened to was battle anthem, I was super convinced it was the 1st hypmic song so I was surprised to hear it was division rap battle lol.

7. What's your favorite solo song?

Ghhhh this is so hard to choose... I actually like basically every single hypmic song.... if we're talking only 1t set that's easier to choose. Um that would be sensenfukoku, drops and champagne gold, I like all the mtc ones so I cant choose. Second set every single one is amazing so I cant choose either, tho at the start I disliked most of them somehow...

8. What's your favorite group song?

Ok at 1st i thought it was like an all division song but I just read it and it's just group song in general.... I love all of them but one of my biggest comfort songs is papillion so I'll say papillion. If were talking all stars songs that's easier tho: in no particular order its hoodstar (just heard the + ver and it slapped), survival of the illest+, glory or dust and hang out.

9. Which songs do you think are slept on?

Mmmmm I personally have no idea which songs people like more in general but I have seen a bunch of "my favorite hypmic moments" videos so I'll base it on that. I'll personally say any mtc song lol, in those videos theres always a surprising lack of mtc so yeah.

10. Do your favorite songs come from your favorite Division?

Yes, tho it's really no problem bc I like all songs😅

11. Objectively, who do you think is the best rapper?

I had never heard a lot of rapping till hypmic so I have no idea what good rapping is lol... I personally thinks everyone does a good job, I guess someone else can school me on that.

12. Which composers for HypMic do you listen to?

None... I honestly dont like know who composes which song.... I know very little about music and I dont look into it so I cant answer this one either.

13. If you had to get someone into HypMic with one song what would it be?

Oh :0 well I'm not very sure but if anything I think the way to go would be an all stars song bc you can get the feel of each division pretty good, then if they like that introduce them to other stuff. Of course this all depends on the person lol... my brother really likes strong songs so to him battle anthem was a good hook up... I quite personally would go for survival of the illest bc it has a good feel of the divisions and it's very silly which is a series staple.

14. Do you play ARB? Drop your friend code for people reading!

Nooooo I dont 🤧😢 I really want to but I dont think I would have space on my phone, besides idk how to download it, if you have to pay for it I dont have money and if it's only in japanese I'm learning at snails speed so I wouldnt understand it *cries a little* I have seen certain events tho, I find it funny.

15. What events are you hoping to see? What character combos do you hope will show up together?

Mmmm idk I have a post about but I'll love to see a sasara jakurai interaction, I'm pretty sure one has already happened but I want this funny man to interact with jakurai more. Some people mentioned that they would like to see more interactions between kuuko and samatoki and I agree, wheres that side of the mad comic dialogue line up? I'll also like to see hitoya and samatoki bc they're both into vintage stuff ish, like fashion wise so I think it would be interesting to see. Last I want a jyushi/jiro interaction idk of there's any but there needs to be I need them to interact!!! Or maybe saburo jyushi that would also be interesting.

16. Are you into any ships?

Yes!!! I'm a little shy talking about ships not going to lie so I don't talk about it too much lol. I like samajyu a normal amount, I also like ichikuu, jiroshi, hifudo and hitojaku. I like a lot of other ships too tho, like ot3 mtc is good so is fling posse tho my favorite is ramugen. Hypmic has a bunch of cute ships so it's hard not to enjoy most.

17. Do you have a yume/self-ships? Platonic or romantic.

Not really lol, I have considered reading self insert before but I always feel a bit embarrassed. If you do you're super poggers tho.

Ok I'll keep answering in another post bc this is getting super long and the next question is one I want to say a lot about again. Umm if you happen to see this and want to answer them too fell free to!! You can tag me if you want as well, I love seeing others opinions about like hypmic and stuff so feel free too. If you want to comment on something I said you're free to do so as well

Conffessions - Error/Ink

--------------------------------------

Error leaned back with a huff, back hitting the ground as he stared out at the endless stars above him. He was in Outertale, his favourite place to be.

 

Error fiddled with the scarf around his neck, face heating up at the very thought of the person who had gifted it to him.

 

“ G-G0dd@mmit. Stup1d s0ul and it’s stup1d em0ti0ns ” Error grumbled. Sitting up, Error pulled out the vial of Ink that Ink had given him if he ever wanted to talk. Ink had a similar thing set up with him, Error having given him some of his strings to tug on to call him.

 

Error desperately wanted to slam the bottle onto the ground and tell Ink how he felt, but he was so very scared. Ink didn’t have a soul of his own after all, and sure he had the vials, but what if that wasn't enough? What if Ink wasn't capable of feeling romantic love? Or what if he just didn't like Error that way!?

 

His anxious thoughts caused his glitching to pick up and so Error shoved the vial back into his pockets with a huff.

 

Maybe he should talk to someone about this? Keeping these emotions bottled up like this couldn't be good for him. Who would he go to though?

 

Nightmare was out of the question. His best friend was good at a lot of things, but the way of love was not one of them - Especially considering him and Killer we’re STILL dancing around each other.

 

Blueberry was also out. His excitable friend was amazing, but Blue would probably freak out if he told him and would probably just try to get him to tell Ink upfront.

 

Dream, Maybe? Dream was pretty good at this type of thing, right? He and Cross we’re having a baby soon too, weren't they? And Dream is definitely calm enough to not make a huge deal out of it.

 

Decision made, Error stood up and opened a portal to underswap, The AU That Dream and Cross had settled down in.

 

Stepping through, Error cautiously made his way through the bustling town to where he knew Dream’s house was. He had to be careful though, Less Stretch find out he’s here and come to kick him out. Again .

 

Luck was on Error’s side for once it seemed, as he made it to the small, cozy house that belonged to the guardian of hopes and dreams.

 

Walking up the porch, Error paused in front of the door, Hand raised to knock. What if they were out? What if he was bothering them? What if Cross suddenly decided that he hated him for everything he did to him despite having long since forgiving him for it?

 

Error shook his head. No! He had to do this, or else his Soul would continue to flutter around in his chest and make his head dizzy.

 

Pushing his anxieties down, Error knocked loudly on the door.

 

Movement could be heard from inside and a muffled ‘I’m Coming!’ could be heard. Error stepped back, prepared to bolt at a moment's notice. 

 

The door opening startled him out of his thoughts, and Error looked up into the surprised face of Dream.

 

“Error? What a lovely surprise! What brings you by?”

 

The former destroyer smiled nervously and fiddled with the ends of his scarf. “ Can 1 c0me in? I… N3ed t0 talk t0 you. I ne3d advice ”

 

Dream grinned brightly, Eyes turning to stars briefly before turning back into golden pin pricks. Dream stepped aside, revealing to Error his rather large baby bump. Dream motioned Error inside.

 

“Advice, Huh? Don’t know how much help i’ll be, but i can try!”

 

 The two made their way to the living room, Which Error noticed was baby proofed to hell and back. Error chuckled as he looked around. Dream sighed exasperatedly beside him. “Cross went a bit overboard on baby proofing the house, as you can see”

 

“ He’s exc1ted t0 be a dad ” Error shrugged, taking a seat on the couch. Dream sat down opposite to him, though Error noticed he had slightly struggled doing so.

 

Noticing Error’s stare, Dream huffed “I hate being pregnant. This baby is making moving so difficult”

 

Error chuckled at Dreams complaints, getting a huffed giggle from the guardian in return. “Anyway, What did you need advice on?”

 

Error wrung his hands together nervously, his face flushing as he attempted to hide in his scarf. Dream looked at this reaction before smiling almost devilishly “Ooooo~ Who’s the lucky skeleton who’s managed to win your heart~?”

 

“ A-Am i really th@t 0bvious? ”

 

“Ooooh yeah. Whoever it is, you see whipped”

 

Error huffed, crossing his arms over his chest. “ It’s… 1t’s Ink ”

 

Dreams squeal of delight almost made Error teleport out of there immediately “I knew it! Oh, you two would be so cute together!”

 

Tilting his head, Dream giggled “I’m guessing you're here to ask how to confess to him?”

 

Error nodded, Turning his gaze back to Dream, his blush having died down finally. Dream hummed, leaning back and striking a thinking pose.

 

“Well, first of all- Are you okay with touching him? Cause i know your haphephobia is getting better, but i know you still have moments”

 

Error paused at that. Was he okay with Ink touching him? Error thought back to all the times the two had accidentally touched, or where Ink had hugged him in excitement before remembering and backing off.

 

Everytime it happened, His soul would flutter happily in his chest and a blush would threaten to take over his face. “ I.. My S0ul flutters 3veryt1me he t0uches me… ”

 

Dream smiled softly “That’s good. Then considering how dense and oblivious Ink can be, you’re going to need to be direct and obvious about your feelings.”

 

“Honestly, I would suggest just grabbing him and kissing him, haha”

 

Error’s face exploded into colour at the thought, his glitching intensifying and his thoughts screaming. Dream just laughed at his reaction, the little shit.

 

“Oh, you’ve got it bad… You're acting just like cross did when we first got together!” Dream laughed, both at Error and at the memories.

 

Finally calming down enough to speak, Error looked at Dream seriously “ W0uld that g3t through to h1m? ”

 

Dream Smiled, nodding “Yup! Like i said, the more direct the better, and i don’t think you can get anymore direct then that”

 

Decision Made. Error stood up and made his way to the door. “ I guess i h@ve a squid to k1ss ”

 

“Pfft- Bye Error! Let me know how it goes!” Dream laughed from, waving at Error’s back as the glitch walked out of the house, easily opening a portal to the doodle sphere. 

 

Walking through the portal and closing it behind him, Error began to looking for Ink.

 

Luckily it didn’t take very long, as Error found Ink laying on one of the floating areas in the sphere, drawing something.

 

“ I-INK! ”

 

Startled at the shout, Ink screamed as he shot up and backwards falling onto his back as Error came to stand over him, a smug smirk on his face.

 

“E-Error! Hi! What are you doing here?”

Error grabbed Ink by his scarf and pulled him up, staring into the creator’s mismatched eyes nervously. Ink had a small rainbow blush on his face as he laughed nervously “uh- Error? W-what are you doing?”

 

“ Something 1’ve been me@ning t0 do for a l0ng time ”

 

And with that, Error pulled Ink closer to him and closed the gap, kissing Ink passionately. Ink yelped, surprised at the sudden kiss, before the waves of Love and compassion that we’re coming from Error finally hit him.

 

Moaning slightly, Ink went limp in Error’s hold and kissed back just as passionately, pupils turning to hearts as his eyes slipped closed.

 

Spurred on by the noise the smaller of the two made, Error wrapped his arms around Ink's waist while Ink’s arms slipped around his neck.

 

The two pulled apart, breathless as they stared into eachothers eyes. “ I love you, Ink. ”

 

Ink’s face finally exploded into a full rainbow as what just happened hit him and he buried his face into Error’s neck, attempting to hide his blushing face.

 

Once he calmed down a bit, Ink leaned back and looked up into Error’s eyes, as the other waited nervously for a response.

 

“I… I don’t know if it’s love… but my head gets dizzy whenever i see you smile or laugh, and i cant help but smile at the very sight of you and…”

 

Ink leaned up and kissed Error again, staring determinedly into the glitching skeletons eyes “I don’t need my vials to feel things when i'm around you, and if that isn't Love then i don’t know what is- so”

 

“ I love you too, Error ”

 

Soul swelling with happiness at his feelings being returned, Error leaned down and Kissed Ink again, picking the other up while doing so and spinning them around. Ink laughed into the Kiss, just as happy.

 

They settled down on the ground, cuddling together. Error's head nestled on Ink’s shoulder as Ink returned to his drawing, feeling more at ease than he’s ever felt now that he was in Error’s arms.

 

Unknown to either skeleton, a small window had been made not that far from them, and on the other Side Cross and Dream grinned happily at the two- Before Cross cursed angrily

 

“Damn- I owe Nightmare 20$ now”
