Renée's frequent hobby switching must have been so stressful Bella. And going to things like Ren Fair and on road trips. Those things cost money. Bella was the one managing the finances. She would've known Renée's salary, how much was being spent on hobbies or activities. How much money was needed to cover expenses such as groceries or gas or the dry cleaners. I can picture a twelve year old Bella, under the kitchen light, crying over the bills as she decides what can be paid that month. All because Renée blew the budget on pottery classes or something.

So I know I made a post recommending my top-favorite Hidden Object games of all time. But. I forgot to mention a big one.

Bonfire Stories: The Faceless Gravedigger

There are technically 3 games in the Bonfire Stories series. But Faceless Gravedigger is my favorite among them, the ending was cool and had me POGGING!!! The title screen looks sick too. All in all, a great game!

I also loved Heartless, it was my first play of the Bonfire series. Title screen is great too. Big recommend, especially if you happen to be a furry(just trust me on that one). I'm so glad I found the series through this game.

...I didn't like Manifest Horror, and it's probably the worst of the three. It feels too convoluted to me, and fell short on my expectations. If you want to complete the series, feel free to try it out, but I only recommend playing Heartless and Faceless Gravedigger.

These are kind of expensive games on Big Fish, so get them if they're on sale, or check out some playthroughs on Youtube!

the [American] military wants to do everything on the cheap

God, there has never been a more true statement.

When we did joint stuff with the American branches, it was actually fucking comical how cheap most of their equipment was. Like the American government does not give a shit at all about the lives of their service members. They'll give them enough ammunition to turn a small country into a crater, sure, but in terms of like... life saving equipment to ensure they don't get sent home in a metal box, service members are pretty much shit out of luck. All of the talk about how much of America's budget gets spent on their military, but I think it's important to note that almost all of that money goes into their drones, air force, and navy. Outside of just getting more ammunition, everyone else gets scraps, if anything at all. If you've ever ridden in an American Army vehicle, you'll know what I mean. It's bad. They do the bare ass minimum for their machines (both human and literal machines) to function. Don't ever let someone tell you that America has more state-of-art equipment for their soldiers than like Russia or something because that is just flat out a lie when it comes to everything but their drone, aircraft, and navy technology. And even then, they cheap out on that a lot, which just goes to show they are perfectly comfortable throwing away money because they know they'll just get more.

TLDR; there is a reason that American enlisted on social media are constantly making fun of how shitty their equipment is.

My dreams have become so so much more interesting as of late,

I like it. Complex plotlines and all, nice pacing etc.

[fuck-you-too-world]

You know what went through my head?

They use that money for all of their collage and made their own workshop/workplace/to help get to profession they want so they could maintain the hidden protection squad from government and society while also doing normal yet absolutely-not-normal-at-all shit. But also? Danny is in the middle the heart of the class, so while GIW got taken over by the students and only had the mode science and open-minded old members around. They base most things on Danny, especially on what is normal and not because lets be honest.

Danny : *doing random stuff that no human should be able to do or even know about and just go against not only fate but everything. Also become baby ancient and adopted by several ancients then kinda reform the previous king by accident, total accident*

I think I got another power? Cool! *not knowing the changes he went through and proceeds to continue his day like normal*

Amityville : *absolutely no idea they're all liminal enough to be counted as no longer human but still think they're human*

oh yeah, that checks.

But with their records?

Attacked by Ancients that are basically Gods

Time travel few times and cause world mysteries

Got their town taken to another dimension

Have a portable portal slash their beloved teen hero

Also have a working portal that on the town's ghost Hunter's basement

Daily ghost attack

Fighting government organization

And some more with each other their own special story with different ghosts

They're all so densetized (is that the correct word? I dunno, correct me if I'm wrong) it just flew through their normal human scale and just...

.

.

.

Paulina working as Lawyer : well, since you not only get away with the crime that did to the living but also the dead

*flick her hand and some papers appear*

You will be charged and put on trial in Infinite Realm because your victims are suing you and I'm their lawyer

Criminal : Wh- YOU CAN'T DO THAT! THEY'RE DEAD, THEY HAVE NO RIGHT-

Paulina "no one can win against me in an argument because I'm always right, except for the baby (Danny)" Sanchez :

Watch Me :)

An echo of scream was heard yet it sounds too much like that audio hallucinations you get on occasion that people ignore it.

.

.

.

Wes working as either a journalist or a reporter or even a detective : *Have boards and notebooks full of informations and blackmails and personal informations with pictures from stalking that'll put even Tim Drake-Wayne to shame (this could be either a crossover or DC being a comic but let's be honest, they'll enter the portal to find DC Universe because of a bet or to see who's right and who's wrong about whether or not Tim Drake was dating Bart/Kon or Both)*

Amityville : Ah, normal Wes behavior

Danny : Please don't start screaming people's secret, Wes :(

Wes : *feeling a bit offended but knows how bad he was* I know now that not all secrets need to be screamed at the top of my lungs or be told or shown as long as I know them and the bad ones got putted and served justice, I mature and learn! Also I said I was sorry, stop bringing those black records up!

Danny : Never >:3

Normal people/work colleagues : *seen a glimpse of Wes Book of Secrets/his 'conspiracy' board*

Mom, I'm scared... Please pick me up 😰

.

.

.

Kwan being a Football Coach : *has become a second coming of 'Kool aid man' that could rival Jack just with Brain and more common sense and social awareness*

Alright kids! Our training would be done on a camp at a place my friend (Sam being Brucie Wayne that done lots of charity just no persona, she has absolutely no fuck to give to people and sass people here and there just less angry and more refined in pissing people off in high society) owned because she's also our team sponsor.

*The plane they're boarding got hijacked by Sam haters/Opposing fanatics against her opinion or view*

Kwan : *barreling through people like a bowling bowl hitting its target and save the day without injury even though they have guns* Don't worry kids! I'll handle this, you guys just sit tight and enjoy the flight!

Students : *too stunned, awed and confused on what just happen but also had a new found fear, respect and admiration towards their coach*

Kwan : *mumbling to himself* I should probably be able to convert my team to believe in Phantom in this training camp, they'll be a good addition to the big family... With consent of course, conset is everything. *nod to himself*

Ugh, what am I doing? Why did I write this?? What is going on??? I was planning to just gave my opinion which I write in one paragraph only???? Why did it get to this????

Oh ancients, it's almost 5 and I have class at 9.30!!! I felt like I just snapped out from a trance, anyway I'mma go so hope whatever babbling I write made sense. Chaos~

Protective AU

Where Danny is protective over Amity Park and Amity Parkers are protective over Phantom, their only local hero. (GIW are now also protective over him after the identity reveal)

So whenever a foreigner visits Amity Park, everyone has a system to grab any info of who those people might be and what they wanted.

Phantom had no clue in this, even when his own family were a part of this system.

So when Jason Todd arrived at such a place cuz he found a similar energy to a Lazarus pit. He became curious and investigated and for some odd reason, Damien came with him and due to that, Dick also was with them.

When they arrived, the Parkers were all smiles and cheers. Welcoming the trio.

Parkers wanted to know their personalities.

And with the system, the Parkers found out that they were children of Wayne. And a hero too (Skulker is a good hunter, he's bound to know weaknesses and secrets).

The Parkers felt at ease since they were heroes too so they let them go but when a villain arrived from Gotham, [pick ur choice], and the batkids recognized such villain. They became defensive since from what they have gathered, Amity Park is way behind and out of touch from the outside world.

Batkids were worried so for a few days at night, they would follow the said villain and while they did, they noticed that there would at least one or two people walking around at night just far enough from the villain.

Then it happened, the villain was in the school. Recording live from his camera then make demands from the people who were watching. Not knowing that every kids at school are armed with weapons created by the Fentons and the GIW.

Safe to say that the kids were alright and Phantom had also helped out while the Batkids was still in place from their tracks as they saw the recording.

The kids were equally capable of fighting and synchronized well together like they had been doing this for years already.

[bemusedlybespectacled]

proposing what I'm going to call Gaylor's Razor, which is: never explain normal shit as being part of a secret message that can only be decoded by over-analysis.

"These Taylor Swift lyrics are actually coded messages saying that she's a lesbian and is forced to stay in the closet! Any lyrics that are clearly about being attracted to a man are just to throw us off the scent!" Sometimes people, like Taylor Swift, are straight and write about being straight, because they are straight.

"The fourth series of Sherlock was deliberately bad because it was actually a coded message to us fans that there is a secret fourth episode that will make Johnlock canon and will actually be good!" Sometimes writers (even experienced writers who are normally good at their jobs) will write something that's not good, because no one is perfect. They're not going to waste everyone's time and money and energy creating something terrible on purpose as part of a grand master plan.

"Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir, the Canadian Olympic ice dancers, are secretly married (with kids)! Their public relationships with people who are not each other and them repeatedly saying 'we dated as kids and now we're just friends' are just to hide the truth! Which they need to hide for some reason! Their relationship is obvious just from their physical chemistry when competing! JUST LOOK AT THIS TWO SECOND CLIP OF HIM BLINKING AT HER!" It seems counterproductive to put all that thought into hiding a relationship that doesn't need to be hidden but then also telegraph that same relationship in front of millions of people through planned choreography.

"But BB, what about times that people really are speaking in code or hiding something due to outside influences?"

If it requires huge leaps in logic, like adding all the letters in a sentence together and dividing by seventeen and that number matches the binary sequence for the color yellow so YELLOW MUST BE SIGNIFICANT, it's not a secret code.

If it requires focusing on teeny tiny details but discards huge ones, like analyzing someone's micro-expressions but handwaving away what the person is actually saying out loud with their mouth, or focusing on one specific line instead of the entire scene or song or whatever, it's not a secret code.

If both supporting and contradictory evidence are used to come to the same conclusion (ex: when Taylor says something that I interpret as gay, that means she's gay, and when she says something that I interpret as straight, that still means she's gay and just hiding it), it's not a secret code.

Trying to apply fandom meta analysis techniques to real life is a really good way of fall into conspiratorial thinking that can be easily exploited. You can totally try to predict what's going to happen in a story or choose to interpret a scene in a specific way; you can't do that in real life with real people. That way lies the kind of nonsense that leads to shit like "this image of pizza on a children's toy is actually subliminal messaging by The Cabal™ that proves that Pizzagate is real."

I'm deciding but still can't get to a point.

Imagine getting isekai’ed into otome game as a background character, watching the main character going down routes as you live your peaceful, mundane life, but you’ve unknowingly been going down a route as well, a route for a hidden character that you didn’t discover during your time playing the game.

That character being the reason the game has a dark content warning.

Gosh anon, that idea is so good!!!! I didn't know it would tickle all the right places in my brain, but when I started I couldn't stop lol. Love it, thank you for sending it in ♥

If this had one of these super long titles that are tmi it would be:

I got Isekai'ed into an Otome Game as a Background Character and now I Have to Finish It with the Secret Yandere Love Interest!!

»»———————— ♡ ————————««     

A serene smile spread over your lips as you watched the two lovebirds in the corner of your coffee shop.

Swirling the milk into a cup, it created a little white heart surrounded by foamy coffee, its aroma drifting into your nose. Had someone told you that the little things like a cup of coffee made with love and care were enough to give you the peace of mind you always wanted in your previous life, you would have laughed at them. For you, it had always been the hustle, the making money, finding a partner, and creating a family. Make everyone proud while being successful, whether it costs you nights of sleep or days without proper meals. But looking at yourself now, it all seemed so far away now, and you let out a content sigh before setting down the cup in front of the customer at the bar. 

"You seem happy today," your regular at the counter noted, picking up the cup and taking a moment to appreciate the aroma just like you had. A smile sneaked onto their lips, too, after they took a sip, and you couldn't help but feel your heart swell with pride and happiness when they gave you a satisfied nod. 

"I am! I'm really getting accustomed to my new life here, it's... been a while since I've been so content."

The truth behind everything that happened to you was something you couldn't speak about lightly. Not when it turned the life you knew upside down, leaving you to start over completely. One day you were an employee of a well-known company, responsible for sales and reports and everything stressful. And the next, you were in your favorite, cozy video game, running the coffee shop the main character liked to visit with all the romance options in the game.

Isekai was the genre that came to mind when you thought about your situation. Luckily you were spared the memories of your death in the real world, the circumstances blurry as you barely remembered going home late from work, only to wake up in this very different universe. Perhaps you were just comatose, and this was a dream. Still, by now, you had managed to slip into your role as the barista of the small coffee shop, a barely mentioned background character, just fine.

Your eyes jumped back to the couple in the corner, giggling and teasing each other over a group project, and you felt an immense relief you weren't reincarnated as the main protagonist and had to go through the years of studying and trying to establish connections with the love interests again. You already did that in your old life, and it wasn't as romantic and fun as the game made it out to be. You only played it because it got your mind off things, the art was pretty, and it had the exact amount of cozy time management you needed to relax. But living as the main character in it? No, thank you!

"Jealous?" your regular teased, and you chuckled, shaking your head. They tapped their—now empty—cup, and you took it from them, replacing it with some water until you had the next cup of coffee ready for them.

"I just think it's cute. I never had someone so interested in me they'd take me out for coffee and share their cake with me when I was younger."

Your words tasted a little bitter on your tongue. Still, you genuinely couldn't wish for anything but the main character's happiness. It was just the feeling of being loved, desired, and wanted that you missed, even though your new life was more than satisfactory despite you feeling a little lonely sometimes.

"Well, it's never too late to start," they chuckled, taking up their fork and cutting off the tip of their strawberry shortcake, including the big chunk of strawberry on top, picking it up and holding it out towards you. 

"Oh, I wouldn't dare--"

"I insist! As thanks for the amazing coffee every time I come here."

Nudging your lips with their fork, you let out an awkward chuckle. It was okay, right? They wouldn't sue you for eating the cake they paid for, would they? This was just a silly little game. What could go wrong with you accepting their kindness?

Opening your lips, you let them feed you the cake, taking a moment to let the sweet and fruity notes mix with the fluffy whip cream before you were sent straight to heaven. Not to toot your own horn, but your baking skills had improved so much since you started working at the shop. Who knew you had that in you?

Occupied with the moment of bliss as you let the cake flavor mix in your mouth, you hummed happily before devoting yourself back to making the coffee with a smile on your face. Unaware of your regular fixating on the fork you had just eaten from, staring at it like it was some strange artifact. Your phone dinged softly in its drawer, and you checked it briefly to see the notification pinging up, saying, "Achievement unlocked: Cake-Master - Provide the most delicious cake to your customers."

"Excuse me!" the main character called out to you, stepping up to the counter, and you directed your attention to her, ignoring the little game notification you've been receiving since starting your new life here, the love interest not far away before the two began fighting over who was going to pay the bill this time lovingly. Of course, the love interest won, but you wouldn't have expected it any other way. Seeing the blush on the main character's face after her romance option told her he'd "always take care" of her made you grin like a little fan, and you cheered them on in your head. 

By the time you returned to your regular, their knuckles had gone white with how hard they were gripping the fork in their hand, their eyes following the couple who was about to leave. For a moment, it made you wonder if they had a crush on either of them, their sweet interaction surely uncomfortable if that was the case. But you didn't remember there being a jealousy scene in the game. You'd know, almost playing it 100% before your death. There apparently was a secret route you never got but were trying your hardest to achieve. Now you were left to wonder what it entailed.

But the second you returned, they looked up at you, expression softening and the tension disappearing, and you chalked it up to having witnessed a cringe moment that they had gotten so awkward. "Thank you for the cake, that was really nice of you! Do you want another fork?" you asked and were met with a headshake and a smile. 

They quickly began eating their cake and complimenting your baking skills, stroking your growing ego when they rubbed their belly. 

"I never had a cake that good!" they proclaimed, and you laughed out loud, overjoyed that you had made them so happy. 

"Say..." they suddenly spoke up again, leaning on the counter and watching you with gentle eyes. Your heart set out for a second, tension rising as you didn't know what they were going to ask. Ever since you opened the coffee shop, the main character, love interests, and this regular had come by constantly. If you were honest, you enjoyed their visits more and more. Their presence felt like it belonged here with you, and you were a part of something bigger after all, washing away the small, lonely part of you. 

And maybe... just maybe... this was how your happy end would play out.

"Are you this nice to every customer?"

Halting your movements, you set aside the brew head that you used on the espresso machine, despite having to clean it, thinking about your answer for a moment. It was a strange question to ask someone who worked in customer service. Still, you appreciated your regular, so you didn't want to give them a snarky answer.

"Uhm, well, I am just trying to make everyone feel welcome! But of course, it's a bit different with my regulars! After all, they come here often, like a second family. So I guess I'm a bit nicer because you really get to know and appreciate these people that stay to chat and tell stories."

"I see," they muttered. "Family, huh..."

After that, you suddenly were swamped with sudden orders, excusing yourself to fulfill them, chatting and laughing with even the people that were just passing by. Maybe you really were just nice? Perhaps this new environment had made you more relaxed and gentle than the harsh world you lived in, and it was showing? But their question was shoved into the back of your mind as you kept fulfilling orders and earning your keep.

Once the rush was over, you returned to your regular, only to find their seat empty. Strange, you thought. You could have sworn that you felt their eyes on you the whole time you were away, but luckily, they didn't walk out on their tab, leaving the money and a folded-up napkin beneath their empty cup for you to find. You quickly stored away the bills, trusting your regular with knowing what they had to pay after so many weeks of the same order.

You were about to throw away their napkin when you noticed some red marks on them, unwrapping the paper to find a note scribbled in what you had to assume was ink. 

"You're so beautiful when you laugh."

The surprise wore off quite fast, and you smiled, thinking nothing of it but that it was a nice compliment from your regular. Still, you ended up throwing the napkin away—not knowing if it was dirty, after all—taking the coffee cup and plate to the sink to clean them, overseeing the red tip on the fork that was too dark to be from the strawberry.

The rest of your day was uneventful, and by the time you were closing, you were tired and ready to tug in for the night, wrapping up your business at the shop quickly before walking home. You didn't have a chance to look at your phone since you glanced at the achievement notification, so you took it out, startled when you saw a dozen new messages. 

Achievement unlocked: Happy new life - Be content with your new life

Achievement unlocked: A fork for two! - Share a fork with someone special

Achievement unlocked: Jealousy - Make someone special jealous

Achievement unlocked: Soothing - Calm someone special down with your presence

Achievement unlocked: Strange compliment - Receive a compliment through unusual means

Achievement unlocked: Blooming infatuation - Have someone special fall in love with you

Achievement unlocked: Shop-Pro! - Close the shop twenty times after making a profit from your work

Achievement unlocked: Tired - Hard workers deserve to relax

You blinked a few times, surprised by what you were reading and a little weirded out by some of these achievements. They gave you some extra coins in your shop till and reputation with the townspeople, so you usually didn't mind them. But to say some of their descriptions were weird was an understatement. You couldn't even remember someone getting hurt at your workplace that day.

By the time you reached your apartment, you decided to ignore the strange notifications and just let the day come to an end with a hot bath and your favorite show. But you were startled when your phone suddenly began ringing loudly, even though you had turned off the sound back at the coffee shop after the first notification. The first messages that appeared before you were more achievements, and you stopped turning the key in your door as you read them.

Achievement unlocked: Follower - Have someone special follow you home

Achievement unlocked: Welcome home! - Arrive at home, not alone

Achievement unlocked: Wherever you go, I'll be watching you - Ɨ ΔΜ ΔŁŴΔ¥Ş ŴΔŦĆĦƗŇǤ ¥ØỮ

Lifting your head, you looked around you, glancing over your shoulder and into the courtyard below. No one was out; everyone was at home eating dinner and occupied with their lives. Confused, you swiped all the notifications away before another pop-up appeared.

ALERT! You're about to enter X's route. Do you want to continue?

> Yes > No

Panicked at this point, you pressed "No," but nothing happened. You kept tapping it repeatedly, not understanding what was happening with your phone. But nothing changed, the notification staying in place. The sound of something breaking inside your apartment tore your focus away from your phone, startling you. 

You must have finally managed to close it, the pop-up disappearing just as you unlocked the door to your apartment, still having held on to the key when you were surprised by the sound. Darkness and silence greeted you from inside, everything seemingly normal.

Majorly confused, you shook your head, slowly entering the hallway leading inside. "Hello?" you called out, reaching for the light switch. The light flickered on, and... there was no one. Holding your breath, no sound reached your ears, and you groaned, realizing you got freaked out about... nothing. 

This wasn't some kind of horror game, and the story never had a murder-solving subplot. True, the ratings for it were kind of strange—it being rated as 18+ on the website—but seriously, what should happen in a cozy little city like the one the game played in? You didn't even think they had a police station here.

Pushing off your shoes as you shrugged off the weird feeling from before, you walked up the hallway to your living room, turning on the light before coming to an abrupt halt. There were broken pieces of glass underneath your living room window, but what really freaked you out came into view only when you lifted your head. You could look into the mirror of your cabinet door from your position, red marker dripping from it as if someone had hastily scribbled on it just seconds ago. You weren't sure it was a pen anymore, judging by its deep red color and the fluidity of it.

"𝘪 𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘩 𝘺𝘰𝘶'𝘥 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘭𝘢𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘦 𝘪𝘵 𝘥𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘴 𝘮𝘦 𝘤𝘳𝘢𝘻𝘺"

Your phone pinged.

Achievement unlocked:
