Thinking about the wheel maybe bringing Rand back if he dies/having brought him back 3000 years later this time makes me think - so it definitely seems like the wheel doing things like this has to do with things that are happening - so the wheel bringing Rand back around is related to other stuff that’s going on ‘right now’.

Which gives me the weird wondering of - so is the wheel ~all-knowing in this sense, or is it relying on some kind of if-then condition satisfying detection? In other words, could you potentially hack the wheel by making it ‘look like’ certain things were happening when they weren’t.

(I’m guessing not, but that sounds like a very interesting concept.)

i didn't promise anything but hehe!! i've been working on something based on my random ramble i had about how reincarnated asriel could've been so cool if it was MORE ABOUT how it's kind of morally fucked with frisk having to kill a guy + flowey does not magically become good and nice... realized it'll take me a bit so i thought why not give a little bit of it NOW... as a treat.

Frisk froze as they stared down at the dusting gelatin monster. Flowey crept towards the weakened form, a vine slowly rising to grab its soul. Because regular monster souls are so difficult to absorb, the best way to do it is to grab their soul before they finish falling down. This way, when they die, you can snatch their soul before it fades with its owner. Did you know that gelatin monsters taste differently depending on their flavor? This one's soul tasted kind of like gummy worms. A little thick on the sour though. Huh. Dead, just like that. Kind of pathetic.

But that's just an opinion. Its soul begins weakly shining a dull white. Flowey, having already gripped the soul tight, absorbed it without a second thought. It tickled. Flowey could feel... something wiggling around in his body. For a moment, Frisk and Flowey stood there silently. Frisk's breaths grew heavy. They had an expression Flowey wouldn't be able to describe if he tried. The silence felt like it was never going to end. That this was all going to be for nothing. A monster killed for a plan that didn't even work. But then a light began to crawl through the flower's body. He could just sense it. It felt kind of... good? It grew ever brighter as Flowey's body began to contort.

The light grew so bright that Flowey couldn't see anything else. He was hit with an intense wave of negativity.

how stupid ARE YOU? do you really think this is going to save you? that everything will just fix itself? you coward. chara was right about you, you know? you're just a big crybaby. why would you even do this? why? why? WHY? is THIS what would've happened if you'd just listened to them? do you really DESERVE FORGIVENESS? who even are you? a child afraid of his own shadow, or an irredeemable MANIAC?! your hubris eats you alive. you'll never get out of here. you're just gonna sit on the ground and die like you were supposed to. you can't get up.

Let it be known that I love writing fluff, and I listen to character audios sometimes. SO! I came up with a cute idea for sagau imposter au. I heard somewhere that Xiao's adeptus form is a bird, so I wonder, what kind of bird? And that got me thinking. Xiao being a little song bird, or perhaps even a cardinal.

Now imagine: while looking for the imposter, Xiao stumbles upon them sitting beneath a tree, just feeding some birds. Said birds are absolutely loving the attention since the creator of Teyvat is giving them food and love!

Xiao watches, rather curious. The creator he knows hates birds, because they always dive and cause problems for them. But now... these little birds have completely abandoned any fear they may hold for human beings, happily landing on the hands and shoulders of this supposed imposter.

So he decides to test something.

Xiao turns into a small bird and approaches cautiously. In his smaller form, he's vulnerable to attack. But the person before him doesn't try to hurt him. Rather, they smile and call him "little friend" as they offer food to him. In his distrust, he bites them with his sharp beak.

His heart shatters when he sees divine blood spilling from the wound.

He's about to fly away, get as far away from here as he can. He found the true creator, and instead of worshipping them, he bit them! He caused them to bleed, he shouldn't even be near them-!

His mind stills when they pet his feathered head.

They murmur kind words to him, apologizing to him. They believed that they had startled him, that he bit to protect himself. They forgave him, they felt no hatred towards him, no anger or disappointment. Instead, they offered some chopped almonds, hoping he'd prefer that over bird seed.

He sang for them as he perched on their shoulder.

After that, he did his best to secretly protect the creator he'd harmed. He would adopt his smaller form and sing for them when they felt sad, and he'd use his human form to guard them from a distance. Yes, it made his chest ache whenever they looked at him with fear when they saw his more human form, but the yaksha only shook it off. It only made sense that you'd be scared. He was a frightening person, one that had tried to harm you before. He refused to try and change your feelings towards him. He didn't have the right.

He would be content to sing for you as a harmless bird.

-sibling anon (sorry if this is out of character for him I just like the idea)

oh….. he’s so soft…..

xiao hovering near the edge of the crowd, at first, drawing your attention since he doesn’t seem to be eating any of the seed you’d passed out.

when he finally hops within arms reach, you reach to nudge some of the food next to him closer, only to quickly whip your hand back. the birds around (on) you all flutter at the sudden movement, but you inspect your finger, the blue blood of teyvat welling up. your instinct is to stick it in your mouth, but that doesn’t seem safe considering a bird bit it, so you dab at it with a napkin.

the bird cries and flaps his wings, distraught, and your heart hurts. poor guy, you probably scared him, moving so quickly.

you pull out some chopped almonds from your pocket. the plan was to have them as a snack, but now… you put a few in your palm and close your hand around it, reaching forward to gently run two fingers over the birds back.

the other birds in the area seemed receptive to that, and this one does too, calming down considerably.

you take your hand back, opening your palm to drop the almonds on the floor, nudging them close before backing off.

“there you go,” you murmur, as the bird dips down to inspect the food. “i won’t hurt you.”

you allow yourself a silent cheer when it eats one of the almond pieces.

you see the small bird fluttering around you often, always on the edge of your vision. it’s easy to identify, the purple patch of feathers on its forehead easily standing out, and you’re always certain to push some food over to it. almonds, not birdseed.

the bird is a dark blue-teal, the underside of its wings a softer blue. it’s like no other bird you’ve seen in liyue, something that quickly catches your attention.

you brush some dirt off you as you stand, noting the way the bird immediately looks up from its food, unlike the others, to flap up into the tree you were sitting under.

you crack a smile, carefully reaching a finger for it. you’re slower this time, cautious of its skittish nature, but it lets you approach. when you carefully pet over its head, the birds eyes close.

your smile grows, and you try not to laugh at how confused the bird seems when you pull your hand away.

“i have to go,” you explain. “the millelith… they’re getting too close again. i won’t be able to see you again, little friend.”

the bird chirps, nearly indignant, and you do laugh this time. putting a small piece of almond on the branch in front of it, you wave goodbye to the other birds, seeing the blue one hadn’t touched the almond.

you frown. hopefully it’ll be alright….

xiao watches you until you’re out of sight, and even then, he stays on the branch.

you…. he’d forgotten you were being hunted by the millelith. he’d forgotten the order to look out for you. he’d forgotten the qixing called you a criminal.

who could blame him? it was easy to forget everything at your side, when you carefully ran your fingers over his feathers, scratching at his jaw with the edge of your nail. yes, he was vulnerable as a bird, but it was easy to be vulnerable with you. it was easy to be open, to sing as best he could in this form, to allow himself close enough to see the way your eyes lit up whenever another bird landed on your outstretched finger.

xiao dropped to the ground, morphing back into his human form. predictably, the birds cawed and flew away quickly. he watched them go, his mind contrasting it with how readily they flocked to you.

you…

he turned to the branch he was on, to the small almond piece left behind. the small symbol of your care, of how you recognized that he didn’t touch the birdseed and instead offered him your own food to eat. normally he wouldn’t lower himself to eating off the ground at all, let along bird food, but almonds weren’t awful and you seemed so happy when he ate..

xiao looked back to where you’d gone, to the sandbearer trees swaying in a soft wind.

he allowed his form to fall away and spread his wings, taking flight on the same breeze that urged you along.

perhaps he’d forget his orders for a little while longer, if it meant he could spend that time with you.

perhaps he’d forget his orders for a little longer, if it meant he’d get to spend that time with you.

genuinely people need to tag triggers. Love all the 'not my responsibility to tag stuff the way you want it' shit but that is for fandom and weird kinks and whatever not LITERAL PICTURES OF SELF HARM AND BLOOD EVERYWHERE like I'd be fine if it was tagged 'tw blood' (which I don't have blocked!! I'd still be triggered as fuck but hey you tried idc) but when you don't tag it at all I have to assume you are actually trying to hurt someone. Yeah I block immediately but thst doesn't change the fact that I'm triggered and the sh urges are back. This is true for text posts too, although I try to block words (I genuinely hate it so deeply when people sidestep other people's word blocks with 'sewerslide' or button mash numbers in the word like. I am going to fucking kill you. 'Oh noo it's triggering to me uwu' bitch you made me actively suicidal for the first time in months. Fucking die. Don't post that shit if using the actual words triggers you). You ABSOLUTELY ARE responsible for what you put out into the words. People saying 'oh ur not responsible for other peoples triggers and emotions' are genuinely heartless and have never felt human empathy. You ain't responsible for how I react to your content, but you NEED to try your best to give people the bare minimum of warnings when you post triggering shit. Look at ur vent post and be like 'hey I'm gonna tag this as tw vent/ tw si' and you genuinely might save someone's life. Probably not but the chance should be enough for you to care and if it isn't, block me. Don't argue, just block me now.

[carpisuns]

sometimes I kinda wish tumblr had something akin to a twitter circle or Instagram close friends list. bc sometimes I kinda wanna say something but not necessarily to Everyone. i feel like tags are almost equivalent bc they’re like the Secret Whisper-Rant Place except anyone can see them. Which adds some fun flavor I suppose. Tumblr close friends circle except it’s whichever of ur followers cares to read your tinytext ramblings

[crossbackpoke-check]

You have excellent tag thoughts, especially about Key & Laf!!!!

thank you!!!! i wish i had a better description than just 🥹🦋😭💕🥰 to explain my reaction to you saying nice things about my tags but please trust that this ask just made my day!!!

[mcalhenwrites]

Haha this is probably useless, but here's the first chapters/prologues to some of my stories. Thought I'd share a few of them. Some are omitted either because they're already stories posted elsewhere, or I'm going to change them too drastically by the time I actually publish... I thought these samples would be great to also distinguish between some of my different novels, since I have so many of them. Geckos, Automata Chapter I: Blink Once for Yes, Twice for No Serrated Petals Part I: Roland The Initial Infiltration The Dragons' Cosmos The Summer of Seventeen: Chapter One (Dragon Universe story) The Elephants Always Come Back Chapter One: Mirza Summons to Home The Hostile Credence Prologue (Dragon Universe Story) Adversary Chapter I: The Room of Contrition A lot of these are darker stories, either bordering on horror or actual horror. Also, if I refer to any story as "Teacup", that's The Elephants Always Come Back. Its initials are TEACB, I couldn't help but just call it "Teacup" instead. For full stories and short stories, here's a master list.

Game Review Part One: Lovebrush Chronicles

I've been meaning to review this for a while now, and given that we're on the eve of the next main story release, I figure now is a good time.

The short review - this game is fantastic.

The longer review ... is under the cut line.

The basic storyline is this - You (MC) are already an accomplished graphic novel creator, and are en route St. Shelter Academy, which is on an island. Your introduction to St. Shelter includes meeting four love interests as well s checking in with your guardian (who is not - yet - a love interest).

These are:

Alkaid - an astronomy student (whom you have met previously, on an expedition to see the Northern Lights):

Lars - A somewhat flirty businessman, who is a patron of the arts.

Ayn - pianist, music major, lover of sweets.

Clarence - Law student, president of the student council, cat rescuer.

Cael - your somewhat mysterious guardian, who has raised you since you were 14/15 and your mother died.

You also, within a few chapters of beginning the game, get your own cat, whom you can name. Your cat is pictured above, hanging out with Cael. To get stamina, you need to log in and feed your cat.

Unlike many other games, where you need to grind around the clock, there are only two login times (both windows of about 2-3 hours) where you can pick up your stamina (and if you miss these log in, you can make it up by buying stamina with in game currency. I don't know if it varies by time zone, but my stamina logins are between 11 am and 2pm, and between 430 pm and 7pm. There's other ways to pick up stamina, too, all by logging in after the daily refresh and performing a series of tasks across the UI. It generally takes about 20 minutes to sweep through all the tasks and get the rewards you need to smooth your gameplay. This is a pretty simple game to advance as free to play.

Anyway, back to the story...

Once you've settled into the academy, you begin having strange dreams of another world, and during an artistic performance a friend of yours is killed and you are suddenly pulled into a completely different world.

This is Godheim. It's the first world of a multiverse that you begin to explore. In Godheim, you encounter men who are multiverse versions of Alkaid, Ayn, Lars, and Clarence:

This is the first interactive story. Godheim is a medieval/renaissance world, and it's slowly freezing over due to an invasion of giant ice butterflies (just... go with it) who kill everything in their path. You will need to save the planet (and well, it turns out Earth too is in danger) from this creeping winter. The story follows a set route pattern, where you choose Ayn or Alkaid first/second, then Lars third, and Clarence last. You learn more about the cause of the ice butterflies in each route, following them through to a happy(ish) ending, but the first three route endings do not completely solve the problem of the danger, and so you choose to go back in time and keep trying. Clarence's route offers a solution to the crisis.

Your LIs in this world are not the same people as they were in the modern world. They have different ages, histories, memories, and relationships with you. While there are some personality traits that show up in every version of the LIs, but they're faint. In Godheim, Lars is the King (who insists that you are his fiancee), Clarence is the chief mage, Alkaid is an apprentice mage, and Ayn is a captain of the guards (as well as the rightful Prince).

I thought all four routes were great - well written, they kept my attention throughout, there was tension and romance (verrrry PG) in each one. After you get through all four, you can choose one for the epilogue, which contains a more complete ending to the romance with the character of your choice. I was pretty sure I was going to choose Lars, until I finished Clarence's route.

Clarence's route is beautiful. A++++ romance. Worth the time spent in the game right there.

Oh... Cael does appear in this story, but he is not romanceable, and by the time I finished Godheim, I was convinced that he was a quadruple red flag who had been grooming MC throughout her adolescence. (Er, this turns out not to be the case, but you have to read Cael's special story available after you finish Godheim to learn what exactly his deal is.... and it's fascinating, I can't wait for him to get a route now... but it's better to read the story unspoiled so that's all I will say).

After this, you return to St. Shelter, and while you do retain your memories of Godheim, no one on Earth (with two exceptions) has any idea what happened, or even is aware that you were gone.

Life goes on... and then Earth begins to experience a series of increasingly violent Earthquakes, and you begin to see a mysterious countdown in your head and dream of a small boy crying for help. And you realize that you need to travel to another world again.

This... is Eden. And now you are in a post-apocalyptic scorching desert of a planet, full of giant scorpion like monsters and rival raiding gangs. Once again, you encounter versions of Lars (a desert guide), Clarence (an independent mercenary), Ayn (a gang leader), and Alkaid (a mysterious gardener).

And once again, you need to figure out how to save Eden, and this time the danger to Earth is immediate and obvious. In Eden, you can at least choose your route order - with one exception. If you choose a specific route first, it basically leads to an immediate bad ending for you.

Note, yes, this game does have bad endings, however, you aren't forced to start over again, you can just rewind to the decision point where you went wrong, and make a different choice.

To be continued...
