#50 character asks game

[bitegore]

dag stip, 35

35. Their idea of a perfect day

hahghafhdsfkdsfkfdgdsfk. okay. i cant stop headcanoning drag strip as a persistent maladaptive daydreamer because other people keep writing him that way and it's really funny. so he has detailed notes on this one XD. Written almost as a fic because I'm serious when I say this, it's something I have to have clearly lined-out so that everything else can fall short LOL

Ask game here.

Morning; Drag Strip wakes up feeling well-rested. The sun is shining and the water outside the window of the Nemesis is a pretty shade of dark teal instead of pitch black. And there's a message waiting for him as soon as he gets out of bed, which he does perkily because he's so energetic and happy this morning.

The message informs him he's been promoted to leader of the Stunticons because he's so much better at leading than Motormaster ever could be. No- that he's now a soloist because Megatron understands that he as his own fighter is better than having Menasor on-side at all and that Drag Strip is just that much better than the other Stunticons. No, that he's been promoted to SIC instead of Starscream. Yeah that one. And there's a special note at the bottom from Megatron and Soundwave that says they both think he's the best fighter in the entire faction and they both love him and they're sorry they overlooked him as a fighter.

Also there's a love letter from Starscream. Drag Strip will go be super suave about this, probably. Or maybe it's from Megatron AND Starscream, both of them. Yeah that. They want him to be the third in their relationship. No - they're both more in love with him than they are with each other. That's suitably important. And they both want him to be theirs AND their third. But he's the most important. Obviously.

He looks at himself in the mirror and his paint is perfect, obviously, but then he goes outside and the other four Stunticons are all lined up waiting for him because he is so important and everyone loves him. Then Dead End tells him he's the best out of all five of them, which he knew. Wait, no, Motormaster does. And then Motormaster apologizes for being a bad leader and an idiot who didn't know how good Drag Strip was until now and he feels so bad about everything and he's going to make up for it by sending Drag Strip to a detailing salon. And being his personal servant for the next week. No, month. No, forever. Nice. And also he's giving Drag Strip all his engex and his candies because Drag Strip deserves them for being so good at everything. And then Dead End tells Drag Strip that he's obviously better looking than Dead End is and his paint is shinier and flashier and he's more noticeable in every way and Dead End is just playing catch up. And Wildrider tells Drag Strip that he's the most fun person on the team and everyone loves him. And Breakdown says he's good at everything.

He goes to the command center to accept his new position and the entirety of the Decepticon fleet is there and they're all lined up and watching and waiting because they all want to see Drag Strip get crowned most important person in the entire faction aside from Megatron. Megatron gives him a cape and a crown and a big shiny gold medal that says he's the best fighter ever on it and Starscream gives him a necklace - no, a SCEPTER that turns into a giant gun. AND a sword! And a rocket launcher! All four at once. Perfect - and a bunch of pretty magnetic jewelry and everyone agrees that he looks better in the regalia than anyone else ever has. And everyone claps when he shows up. And because it's such a special occasion everyone gets to drink as much energon as they want and it's a giant party because Drag Strip is so important. Then - hm.... then Motormaster and the other Stunticons go give a speech about how lucky they were to work with Drag Strip before everyone else realized how good he really was at everything and how fortunate they feel to get to watch such an unparalleled Decepticon genius come into his own before everyone else realized how important he was for the faction. And it's lovely and everyone agrees they're right about every count and they only have nice things to say because Drag Strip is really that good.

Then after that the Autobots attack! and burst in! And everyone else is drunk on energon but Drag Strip is so good at everything that he single-handedly defeats all the Autobots! and he defeats Optimus Prime and looks super cool while doing it and then Megatron kills Optimus Prime and he takes the Matrix of Leadership and gives it to Drag Strip because he's so strong and smart and cool and powerful and good at everything that even Megatron agrees he deserves it instead. And then the Autobots are so dazzled by his excellent fighting and how cool a car he is so they decide that this means he's their leader now and he wins the war for the Decepticons forever. And Megatron thanks him personally and calls him the next greatest Decepticon to ever live. And it's true and he is. Then they can go back to Cybertron-

-but he likes Earth. Hm.

Then he gets crowned ruler of Earth and put in charge of Earth forever while the other Decepticons reroute power from Earth to turning Cybertron back on and he gets to do whatever he wants forever. And the humans have to build him a huge awesome new base on land and keep all the energon he could possibly want on tap for him and every day every single Decepticon ever thanks him personally for being so cool and awesome and he gets to tell Motormaster to do all sorts of demeaning and stupid humiliating bullshit and Motormaster just does it because he feels so bad for overlooking Drag Strip's true abilities all this time and no one ever tells Drag Strip he can't do anything ever again.

And then because that's not a whole day then he goes to a detailing spa and also he gets a reformat into the same alt mode but now he's got mass-shifting components so he's actually the tallest mech in the faction and he gets to be space-capable so he can go into orbit whenever he wants or just fly to any planet. And he buys a lottery ticket and wins a million dollars and he drags Breakdown to a casino in space that Swindle says is impossible to win anything from and wins a million shanix. And he's so cool when he's there that the casino owners thank him for showing up to their casino and making it look better because all the aliens are coming from all around to watch him.

Extremely reasonable. That would be the best day ever, as far as Drag Strip is concerned. Anything less than that isn't good enough. Simple.

Haha! I made my own outfit meme with vintage paper dolls outfits!

I was inspired by this one here as I adore vintage fashion and I thought why not make my own! I also noticed that the other one didn’t have really any masc fits, which makes me a bit sad cause men’s fashion in the 60s is just amazing. I will add that it was a bit hard to find outfits that weren’t plain boring suits so I don’t blame the person who originally made the one that inspired me for not having any.

Since I’m also still taking requests for the other one, pls specify which outfit you want or else I’ll get confused. You can do that by either saying the one I made after the outfit number or by screenshoting the outfit(s) you’d like. It helps me a lot :]

Also to any artists who see this, feel free to reblog and use yourself! I might send in a request myself ;]

one time eva told me that inigo was basically just a total drama character and i cant like that kinda hit me like a slap in the face but like in a good way because like. she was right. and that was several months ago but the concept was so good i sometimes just come back to it and now i have a question for the class

no i dont think inigo (or anyone else i excluded) would win but if you have a case for him im open

[iniziare]

do you write?

Mel semi-dared me to type: “No, leave me alone.” So I have to include it. But in all seriousness, I'll respond this once, because it does allow me to update people a little bit. Though please know that your notification did have me pause mid-writing. Now, I want to politely, and respectfully direct you to my description on both dash-only and on my blog's theme, I also want to point your attention to my pinned post, and I believe that it's even in my rules, but I could be wrong. Though let me repeat it here:

The depictions you'll find here are canon-strict, and so you can expect many analyses of all kinds here, as dissecting the characters that I write is what I'm passionate about, and what I'm here for (and to write, of course!)

I admit, usually I aim to write more threads/asks consistently even if I'm excessively slow, and though I haven't updated the dash about my circumstances for a while (as I'm decently private about my life), know that writing meta has simply come a lot easier lately when time has permitted me to be on Tumblr. Now, that doesn't mean I don't value people's interest in writing with me, and I will live up to the promises that I've made that I will get to that (as I have occasionally done lately, and was in process of doing again)— but when meta comes easier to me, then I prioritize that as of late, simply because stress' best counter is the distraction that comes the easiest. Now this isn't by any means a waste of time, as it plays into what I quoted above. Because ultimately, here's my thing: I make it exceptionally clear everywhere on my blog that I am canon-strict (or as Tumblr, sadly, disrespectfully seems to call it nowadays: a 'lore purist'), and that this leads me to write a lot of analyses left and right on the characters that I write, but these are fundamental to understanding my portrayals of them. If that isn't your cup of tea, sir, or ma'am, then maybe this isn't the blog for you, and I don't mean that with malice, or in disrespect, but simply as a simple rebuke. In that, I greatly appreciate you checking in on behalf of my writing partners, but I'm also quite certain that they have the capacity to approach me themselves if they have any concerns. Have a nice day or night, wherever you are!

*gasp* someone into Genshin Impact AND Bungo stray dogs?!?! Lets GO. (I just got into genshin and I have been playing it for an unhealthy amount of time 10/10 game. so far Neuvillette's my favorite but the banner doesn't like me.) Who's your favorite, and what's your favorite region?

You came a little late, i stop playing Genshin Impact a while ago.

MAPLESTORY MENTIONED!!!!!

Gods I'm a fucking old-ass veteran of that game. I began playing in 2009 and I actually quit in like 2019 iirc. Few years ago I got a private server, and I was playing up until this year and then just fell out of favor. But damn that game is nostalgic af!!! It's awesome!!! <3 I'm genuinely SO glad to see others who played it!!!!

RIP Lionheart Castle to the Kaiser hackers, and the Demon Slayer spammers. XD

MAPLESTORY MENTIONED <3 i played from 2008 until .... gosh, i don't even remember when i stopped, it sort of fizzled out for me as the game got less fun and more pay to win. the last couple of times i launched it even the biggest hubs were completely empty, no heneseys hoes to be seen even in channel 1 u _ u absolute ghost town. and all my characters are on windia, which used to be one of the most popular servers! Not Anymore I Guess

it's the kind of game that i feel like... even if you're in a popular server or something, even if you're in a private server, it just takes too much dedication to play anymore. it's not really for casual people anymore, the whole community and culture is totally different now and it makes me sad. i feel like 2008 ~ 2014 was Peak and then it started to fall apart after that, too much grinding and not enough fun anymore.

LF > LPQ 😭

🦋 tell us about your current wip!

Woh, my first ask! Thank you dear friend!!! If any other friends (or soon-to-be friends) wanna add in an ask, here's the summertime writers' asks list! I plan to have more ask games/memes going on soon, to get more interaction :))

The Aetherium is, basically, a sci-fi-ish story that takes in a dimensional plane called, well, The Aetherium! In it, Aetherics (the main population) thrive in their liminal space of a home, and in recent times, have been experiencing an era of Peace, mostly due to the efforts of the 10M Company, specifically Akina Charoite, The Knight. The 10M Company, through their hard work and overwhelming skill, have been able to knock down the Aetherium's enemy, Black Mamba, into a comatose/dead state that won't be easy to wake from.

But that's not the story I'm telling today folks! Nope, we're flashing around 2,000-ish years after those events, where a recent batch of New Recruits have an odd outlier. Said outlier, Zenith, is sent to the 10M Company due to their memory problems. They have nothing in them that tells them their identity, not even a Vessel of Heart! (Something that all New Recruits usually gain after graduating). So, the Conglomerate (the higher ups, if you will) decide to make use of this blank slate and train Zenith to become one of the best in recent times. That's where 10M Company comes in!

And yet, while there's no mental memory in their mind, muscle memory sure does kick in! It kicks in so hard, that somehow, Zenith manages to keep up with a majority of the Company, which is insane and interesting at the same time.

So the Company decides that there's got to be a little more to this kid than expected, and go off on ways to try and find out just a smidge of who Zenith is, what happened to them, and perhaps even unlock things that they couldn't before.

Can you tell I'm really passionate about this? It's been in the making for practically 3-4 years (started in 2020), and while the main plot has only begun forming, there are countless other stories that I hope to tell that reside in The Aetherium! Maybe after Zenith's Tale, I'll dive into that little snippet of Black Mamba and the 10M Company, as a treat :)

Thanks again for the ask ^^

It's so cruel when you wanna share your favorite character with people but they're in seasons 4-7 out of a 12 season show and their best scene is twenty seconds long that makes no sense out of context

[hiddenobject-fanblog]

i love the idea of curioso sitting on the couch watching cartoons and him singing from happiness is too cute 🤧

thank youu for gracing this niche fandom with your writing! ❤️

Thank *you*! I'm glad you're enjoying the story still..! <3

I can't wait for Curioso's past to come up, I have some personal headcanons + additions I've added to it that I'm dying to get to. Time and patience, thouuugh....

For the ask meme- Butlerrr

[loregoddess]

"13. what's one thing you'd change about fe3h?" for the ask game :D

Ooooh, lots and lots in regards to the story writing, if only to try and patch all the holes in the worldbuilding. But if I could only have one (1) thing, I think I'd add a way for the player to access Sothis's memories as she regains them, as a way of giving narrative insight into past events, since that's one of the murkier parts of the worldbuilding.

Mechanically though I'd remove the gender-locked classes, which I'm sure is a shock to everyone. But the game should not keep me from slamming Hubert and Linhardt into the gremory class (or dark flier, do you know how much I am miffed I can't make Hubert a dark flier?), and Hilda would work SO well in the warmaster class (and also it's stupid I can't have women in the highest-tier class capable of punching people out; an all-brawling run would be SO funny, esp. if I could use everyone from the same house).

I am, once again, now entering my bi-annual plea to both Richard Armitage and Supermassive Games to make a collaboration happen on a new Until Dawn/The Quarry-esque game

[akiwitch]

1, 2, and 29 for the book development questions?

Thank you for the ask! Continuing with Summoning Trouble answers~

1. how long have you been working on your story?

That’s actually a complicated question, because one of the characters is from when I was working in a call center cleeeear back in the 2000s, some are from my original web comic in 2011, and some are from the reboot that started in 2014. But their current story I started in 2022. Soooo a long time and not long at all at the same time. (I had to brave the depths of deviant art for these numbers)

2. what’s your current word count?

26248! So we’re getting there!

29. how stylized is your writing?

I have a style I think? I am a pretty straight forward writer with some lovely little embellishments

[dravidious]

You're more amazing than cars

Popped open RPG Maker XP this morning and decided to make a game where you play as a kobold and fight humans to save your sibling from hunters who captured them, and the other party members are other monsters, and some enemy skills are effective against certain monster types, but you get an accessory called a "Human Glamour" that makes the party member ignore their species weakness but it also lowers the power of their species-based skills. XP is unfortunately an early entry in the series so it's harder to do unique mechanics, but I managed to get the glamour accessory working! Now I just have to Make The Game
