#I have lots of fun trivia about the characters tho

[the-insomniac-emporium]

random RL headcanons: game night edition

Mia is weirdly and inexplicably good at charades/any similar games. just anything to do with abstract communication. Poetry With Neanderthals is a personal favorite of hers.

(silly OC addition: Mia and Caldwell have a game they created for parties that's essentially just an alternate version of charades. Caldwell, who is cursed and cannot speak coherently, draws a prompt from a hat, and has to try to explain it. the audience is split into teams and attempts to guess the prompt. Mia, who is an expert at interpreting Caldwell's speech, is usually barred from playing (the exception being themed rounds where the theme is outside her specialties) and acts as a judge/curates the prompt list)

Angie is both very, very good and very, very bad at Monopoly Cheater's Edition. seems to get better the more she's had to drink, of course. gets caught cheating 90% of the time, but usually manages to pull off something insane near the end of the game.

Bela is surprisingly killer at games like Cards Against Humanity. nobody ever expects her to play the cards she does, no matter how many times they've played with her. equally an expert at games where having a good memory comes in handy.

Cassandra excels at games of deception, trickery, and mindfucks. playing a game like Werewolf with her is honestly insane. will attempt to "seduce" (i.e. distract) players she thinks are close to figuring her out. she's also decent at trivia games, but likes to narrow down the categories if the other players are cool with that.

Dani mostly likes chill, shorter games (the kind where you can play multiple rounds in one sitting), especially card games. I can see her enjoying Here To Slay, Muffin Time, and Happy Little Dinosaurs. on a semi-related note I think she low-key went through a magic trick/sleight of hand phase, but these days she doesn't usually do tricks unless she's had a couple drinks and someone brings it up.

Miranda prefers 1v1 games... on the rare occasion where someone (*cough* MC *cough*) convinces her to play. she's decent at actual chess, but is prone to starting out overconfident, only to end up getting flustered towards the end because she overthinks her moves. do not play checkers with her. she will win. you will lose. you will lose by an embarrassingly large margin.

Alcina is only slightly more interested in games than Miranda, and usually uses them as an excuse to socialize. likes big group games where there are opportunities to chat with other players while someone else makes their turn. probably plays the kinds of games that I've seen on TV a lot (classics like Mahjong) but don't personally have enough experience to talk about.

Donna kicks ass at pool, but almost never plays. you (and Angie) would have to talk her into it. totally worth it tho, because she'll have a lot of fun, especially if you're on her team and let her "show you the ropes". if you catch my drift ;) aka that thing where she'll lean a lot of her body against you, her arms alongside yours, helping move you into position. that thing tv shows/movies do to increase sexual tension between two characters.

Mia is also unfairly good at darts. it's honestly really attractive.

Interview with the Vampire first draft trivia

I've been meaning to make this post for a while now so I'm doing it. The Vampire Companion is a reference book for the Vampire Chronicles made in collaboration with Anne Rice. It is basically the VC wiki in book form from the 90s but with analysis of lots of themes and symbolism (there's entries for literally anything got even a passing mention in the series, and example of entries on one page chose at random are " adventure, Aegean sea, aesthetic choice" with multiple paragraphs each I shit you not like the "Aegean sea" entry explains it is basically just mentioned in passing it is COMPREHENSIVE. It also famously has an entry for penis/phallus (none for vagina or vulva tho booo). This book features a lot of analysis of VC and it's themes and it is legit some of the worst analysis I've ever seen. A lot of it is in the Freudian mindset/style which *Kubrick stares in psychology student*. It also just reflects a lot of the opinions Anne Rice had about her characters she had in the 90s, the entry on Louis really shows she hates him.

HOWEVER The Vampire Companion has one really cool feature and that is that it mentions things that were in the first draft of IWTV which was later removed. I love this kind of trivia, I love reading the IMDB trivia for these kinds of facts, so I'm collecting them all here in this post:

Lestat was supposed to die in the fire at Rue Royale. When he comes back from the swamp it was originally his last appearance and even then when they meet the Nosferatu/zombie-like vampires of Eastern Europe Louis concludes that the murder attempt left Lestat like those vampires, literally an animated corpse when he came back from the swamp and to Louis, whether Lestat survived the fire or not, Lestat is dead

Lestat's original backstory in IWTV is that Lestat was a poet as a boy. I'm just transcribing this part bc I love it so much: "....it was his poetry full of dreams and longings, that endeared Louis to him. When Louis tries to get Lestat to talk about his poetry, Lestat curtly dismisses it, as if he views it as an idealistic boy's worthless fancies." T_T I think about this part a lot and I kind of wish this part had not been removed but given that Lestat was originally based on Anne's husband Stan who was a poet, she probably removed it for personal reasons.

Rice had originally planned for Louis's tone in IWTV to be similar to that of Oscar Wilde but it changed when she changed from the POV of Daniel (1st draft) to Louis (final version). As annoying as the constant quotation marks are in IWTV, I think nonstop "the vampire said___" would have been worse

The reporter says that Louis looks to be around 35 instead of the final 25

When in Paris Louis and Claudia both accidently run into a random vampire and he runs away scared, Louis and Claudia then make themselves more obvious as vampires to attract the others to them

One evening they come home and a whole bunch of vampires are in their flat, and they take them to a rotting mansion with older human servants who are hoping to be turned into vampires. There they finally meet Armand

The vampires then get together in a room and recite Baudelaire's "Les Fleurs du Mal" and then a blonde woman is brought in, begging for her life, and she is passed around as they drink from her. Louis is horrified but drinks from her, and then Armand takes Louis to his bedroom where a woman is asleep on the bed and Louis crawls into the bed and drinks from her, killing her in her sleep

The group of vampires have more strict rules than the theater ones seem to described as loving conformity, abhor wasted opportunities, and constantly provoking each other into dares and challenges (vampire Jackass). Louis doesn't like the vampires but Claudia joins them, dressing in all black, dies her hair white, and befriends 3 brothers and has fun tormenting priests

In the original version of IWTV Claudia goes off with three vampire brothers she meets in Paris and does not die (I think Claudia leaving and meeting Bruce in the AMC show might have been an allusion to this). However AR claims she experienced "psychological difficulties" (the book's phrasing not mine) until she rewrote the ending where Claudia dies. Having Louis grieve Claudia was cathartic for her

When the vampires learn that Claudia killed Lestat they think his death was just and no punishment is required XD

Louis finally leaves not fitting in and Armand chases after him, asking why he left and then leaves the others for Louis. He also tells Louis his backstory (which is never revealed in IWTV)

In the original draft of IWTV Claudia is described as 3 or 4 instead of 5

Anne Rice did not originally realize that Claudia, the 5 year old who can never die, was a projection of her own desire for her daughter who died at 5. She originally saw Claudia as a way to talk about how women can be infantilized or considered inferior to men, by making the way women can be treated (not intelligent, not strong, not rational) physical in the form of a child

AR did use Michelle's (her daughter's) physical appearance, blond hair and blue eyes for describing Claudia, but again, denies that she was aware of a deeper significance at the time, but says it made a lot of sense later. However Claudia's personality is not based on Michelle (which makes sense bc we mostly see an adult Claudia in the book and movie and Michelle died at 5)

AR originally planned for Armand to be a central figure and villain in Queen of the Damned but decided he wasn't evil enough (I think this is cute)

Armand was completely different. He is described as innocent and angelic and in his twenties (However the final version of IWTV simply describes him as young, being 17 was added later and I personally always see him as early 20s bc of how I pictured him reading IWTV)

Armand was originally only from Venice, not Kiev, son of a guilder and later living with his maker for over a century (similar to what we learn in TVL and TVA but not nearly as dark, no sex trafficking or pedophilia)

Louis and Armand originally genuinely have a good relationship, traveling the world together after leaving Paris, and at one point Louis convinces him finally that vampires are inherently evil, he offers to go into the sun with Louis T_T However Louis cannot bring himself to do that so he adopts Armand's morals

Armand shows Louis a way to humanely kill and drink, by identifying "Those Who Want To Die" and Louis describes going to a cemetery and finding the mother of a child who had passed doesn't want to live anymore and Armand gently kills her. However Louis decides he simply likes it better when is victims fight back

The original ending of IWTV is Louis mentions that he hates going back to New Orleans because it was where he met his mortal love, but he never elaborates on who this was. (??? Anne???) As the interview ends around there Daniel notices the sun coming up and starts backing out of the room while Louis keeps talking because he was still afraid of Louis eating him. XD Louis finally realizes what was going on when Daniel makes it all the way to his car XD and is angry with him and asks for the tapes back. Armand arrives and says Daniel should have the tapes, that what Louis really wants is the tale to be public. Louis and Armand get in a cab and ride off into the night together (I also wonder if the end of s1 being Louis and Armand holding hands in front of Daniel is an allusion to this)

AR also points out that the book has large tonal differences, she wondered if it was an issue but then decided she liked it, saying Louis is a cynical cold person who warms up and then grows cold again throughout the novel. This character arc was never intentional though

Anne Rice says two main inspirations for IWTV are Richard Matheson's "Dress of White Silk" which is from the POV of a child vampire, and the movie "Dracula's Daughter" which had a tragic and sensual vampire.

The original IWTV short story (which you can still read) is very different, the vampire is not like Louis but based on Oscar Wilde, she intended the tone to be ironic and witty. The vampire enjoys killing and tells the reporter that, and like in the books says "the room the interview is in is just a room" but at the end reveals he is waiting for the occupant to come home so he can kill him, and the reporter runs away frightened. Lestat does not really exist other than as a nameless maker and Claudia and Armand also do not exist

The Vampire Companion does not really have "first draft" comments on any of the other books (only the first 4 had been out when it was published). I imagine it is because an author's first book is usually subjected to more edits and rewrites while they are struggling to get it published, but once the foot is in the door you don't have to do that as much (and AR took this a step further with firing her editor after becoming a NYT bestseller!).

However there were a few things about characters who appear later which I found interesting:

In the Daniel entry she says she wanted to explore Armand and Daniel's relationship more in future books, which we know she never does :(

Gabrielle was deliberately based on AR's own mother. Her mother was a feminist activist, often making AR feel like her mother paid more attention to her activism than to her, which mirrors Lestat wishing Gabrielle would teach him to read so he can enjoy the escapism. However both Gabrielle and AR's mother were unhappy in their domestic motherly roles, which is reflected in Gabrielle. AR's mother was also an alcoholic and died when AR was young of complications due to alcoholism. AR deliberately wrote Lestat saving his mother from death by making her a vampire, and Gabrielle being freed from the expectations of her gender as a wish she could have done the same with her mother T_T

David is also meant to be her father, he was dying due to some heart disease at the time she wrote TOTBT (he was not actually dead yet but I think was by the time she published or shortly after) and David is described as dying due to similar causes. So she wrote once again one of her parents not dying but becoming immortal. TOTBT is also much darker compared to TVL and QOTD, the previous two Lestat narrated books, and her grief helps explain why (but also "AR pls go to therapy" challenge)

I also find this excerpt on Anne Rice projecting onto Lestat interesting bc this is VERY similar to what Gabrielle says to Lestat: "As a writer I put myself into Lestat much more deeply than I had put myself into Louis because I was dealing with aggression in Lestat, and dealing with my own repressions. Lestat was my male hero who could do what I couldn't. I wanted to get out of the mindset of the passive grieving person [from when she was writing IWTV]." :/

BRO ok i was reading your tags and you mentioned crimson not having a DT soul, but a soul of Obsession, and i just giggled a bit at that and got excited hehehe.

i like seeing people play with concepts but EXPAND them yk??? like not being bound to them but using them to make you think

i have an au i’ve yet to share about (because it’s. so convoluted at this point and is being rewritten HEIDBDJ) but a big part of it has to do with soul traits and such, at least in regards to the humans right

like for example, one of the human characters has the trait of justice, meanwhile one of the antagonists (with relations to some of the mains) is Retribution.

Retribution is like…a corrupt justice. when you decide YOU define what is just, and you take that into your own hands, it becomes more about vengeance then what is right.

sans has karmatic abilities as well, which is sort of an in between…. fair vengeance, the vengeance isn’t for HIM, he’s moreso a vessel for what is fairly brought upon someone??

ANYWAYS IM RAMBLING, both the justice soul (and kinda sans actually) have to grapple with their similarities with said antagonist. several characters have to grapple with the positive traits they have and the negative or toxic paths those same traits could lead them down. patience turning to passivity. bravery to recklessness and pride, etc

ALL THAT TO SAY i was curious, do you see “obsession” as an evolution/ sub category/ branch OF a determination soul? the determination to push on towards this thing you are fixated on to an inhuman extent? the refusal to let go of this thing you are fixated on (which i find a cool concept because, undertale a message has a LOT to do with letting go…)

ANYWAYShope you don’t mind rambling in your inbox i just find ideas fun and want to hear yours if you’ll humor me HEE HOO

ramble away dear friend!

I love reading these ideas!

as for obsession, yeah it's more like an evolution of determination.

I think there was a post about moral traits being used in excess can corrupt into harmful behavior...

ambition => obsession was one of the given examples.

but well crimson started with determination.

it's like muddied water. its been left to rot away.

but the water NEEDS to move or it will fade away so it spirals around it's contained pool into a whirlpool.

(idk if that allegory made sense but yea)

crimson NEEDS to constantly push themself. Ben if there's nothing to gain. even if their story has already been told.

you are correct! crimson's issues is mainly the lack of closure. the inability to let go.

they TRIED severing the bonds so dear to them by killing everyone but that only made them want to stay to suffer with them instead.

trivia:

obsession has a stronger density than a normal DT soul.

like it can take on 4-5 other human souls (not 6 tho. that's beyond them)

so you'd have to absorb not one not two but six or seven human souls to over power this bich's DT.

obsession also allows them to [refuse] death once, every 24 hours without a reset. even if you take away their reset they won't die that easily.

obsession has a higher LV cap than determination. it maxes out at 50 and can absorb [self inflicted pain] to boost the number up. if there's no one left to kill there's still ways to increase that LV. and their soul is one tank of an endurant killing mechine.

a direct jab at their soul won't kill them.

cutting their head off won't kill them (instantly at least. if they use a healing item in a minute or so their vessel would glitch back to a normal form.)

they're a lot like a zombie minus the infection part that can spread and the slowness and dullness of a shambling corpse. they're fucking FAST.

obsession can allow puppeteering powers and psychological manipulation through [ACT] but crimson doesn't use it. they think it's cowardly and they want to do things "legit".

if there WAS a new foe out there though... they have many abilities they don't use on dust to face them.

[surveillance-0011]

SSBU! Inkling Headcanons

General:

All are veteran competitors, having fought since day one.

Some are famous. Others more infamous. Then some of them are not well known but very skilled.

All are friendly towards one another and consider themselves something of a team when it's not about beating each other up. Though not all of them are besties. Some of em do fight.

Tend to hang around the Koopalings, Pokemon, Mario Characters and Sonic.

Most are Asian (or like. splatoon era equivalent), or at least partially so. I'll be referring to them all by our current day regions for convenience but yknow it's more like. Splatoon version. I assume most Inklings are situated around asia but that they are pretty worldwide or at least span far enough to have different ethnicities.

Orange ("Orange", Sumomo Surume) she/her

15-16 by smash?

Japanese

Tomboyish, not fond of anything too "girly" though she has a soft spot for some cute mascot characters and some pretty stationary.

Closest with Blue, also very friendly with Yara and Nasubi.

Wears a lot of the athleisure sort of gear. Squidforce and Tentatek

Rebellious, energetic, and at times a bit fiery.

Sometimes a bit childish. Gets pretty competitive.

A sort of Jack of All Trades, decent at most weapons and modes, but she prefers Turf War and her trusty splattershot!

A bit of a troublemaker, but it's all in good fun! Gets up to mischief with the Koopalings and some of the Pokemon.

Finds Sonic super awesome. They r pals and she looks up to him.

Still crushed about Squid Squad. Likes Front Roe but it's not the same...

Has grandparents in the countryside. She visits for a week or so at the tail end of summer.

#1 Squiddymelon fan

The sort of person always looking forward to spring and summer

Blue ("Blue", Wyatt Tanaka) he/him

Just turned 15 by the smash announcement

Japanese + White

Competitive, but easygoing compared to Orange. Tries to reel her in when she gets peeved off.

Squidforce, Inkline, some forge

The two best friends, though they did start as rivals.

Hangs out with the pokemon a lot, too. Likes the Squirtles and Pikachu and Pichu.

Good friends with Larry, Sonic, and Mega Man.

Tends to get nervous when it comes to daunting and especially risky tasks.

A bit basic, someone who tends to go with the trends. He does fall out of this with time, though, starting to dig the old school more than the new come 3.

A pretty goofy guy, generally happy and ready to roll with the punches

Yellow ("Agent 5", Yara Tumeri) she/her

14

Nzap main

Middle eastern, though she does have lighter skin. From the region of the Splatlands close to where Frye is from, has a similar ear shape as her also.

Alt hairstyle would be 3's braid

Very interested in agent work,, #1 fan of the NSBS but not an official member

This makes her a huge Squid Sisters fan as well. Also very fond of Deep Cut

Rlly likes Bottom Feeders and C-Side

History buff. Knows her trivia

When she's not in her agent gear she wears a lot of cozy stuff. Skalop, Inkline and some Rockenberg and Splash Mob. Almost always wears headphones tho, both due to sensory issues and being a bit self conscious about her ears.

Takes Splatfests too seriously. Takes a lot of things too seriously. A very passionate individual.

Sunny and bright, with a penchant for the dramatic. Tries to act more serious and stern but it's easy to break up the act.

Post WOL , the Squid Sisters and Cuttlefish knew of her bravery and made her and the others honorary members. They know they are trustworthy to call upon if need be.

Fangirls over the heroes a lot.

Green ("Green", "Lime", Jett X) he/him

Like 17 by smash

Filipino

Total beast at Rainmaker and Tower Control

Part of an uber-famous ranked team known for its edgy competitors

Family friend (like our moms are besties or something sort) of Yara, looks out for her kind of like an older brother.

Sneakerhead. Also really likes cars.

Cuttlegear, Annaki and Rockenberg,

Blaster Main

A little rough-and-tumble, but a great team player and kind underneath his tough guy persona.

A rebel who might just have a cause. He's got his points he sticks too but sometimes he is just contradictory for the hell of it. Someone who just really needs to go against the grain.

Likes Diss Pair, Sashimori and Front Roe. Was fond of Squid Squad but likes FR much better. Also big on DJ Sango, whose fashion he at times replicates

Fav idols are Deep Cut. Mainly Big Man but appreciates their delinquent nature in general.

Pink (Rory Tide) she/her

also 17

Dominican

Inkbrush main

Hair is a lil curly

From an all-girls team that rivals Jett's. The two are close but they butt heads now and then and tend to get very competitive with one another.

Understands and likes clam blitz.

A pretty laid back person, but she's tenacious when it comes to her goals.

Level-headed. Assertive and knows when to put her foot down.

Smoothie fanatic

Great at dancing

Huge Off the Hook Fan. Also pretty big on Squid Squad and now Front Roe.

Good friends with Wendy, Little Mac, Terry and the Wii Fit trainers.

Cyan (Mica Bream) he/they but she/her is ok every now and then

16

Japanese + Latino (Puerto rican?)

Fond of trendy, high-end fashion... and weaponry!

Alt hairstyle would be a more like the bedhead style with a little side ponytail.

Dynamo Roller main

A bit snooty, certainly bold about his opinions and curt, but it comes from a place of feeling a bit neglected/underestimated

Loosens up a little in the chaos of the Smash Mansion... and by 3, when chaos is all the rage!

Big Kensa and Splash Mob fan. Brand loyalist

Fond of Ink Theory, Yoko and the Gold Bazookas, and Wet Floor as well as H2Whoa

Not big on any of the idols.

On the same team as Blue in their homeworld. They're sort of like Goggles and Specs (but not bc i haven't read coroika) though Blue is less zany and Mica is a bit more of an asshole.

Takes time to warm up to people.

Closest to Blue and Hikaru. Also friendly with Rory though she is very insistent that he needs to lighten up. Gets along well enough with Jett and Orange though he tends to piss them both off a little. Yara is ok w/ them. They don't get along with Nasubi that much.

Violet (Hikaru Sumi) she/they

15

Japanese

Charger main, miffed that she couldn't bring it in with her. But she also uses the Gal and Nzap so it wasn't an awful change to make.

Impressive Stationary collection. lots of glitter pens and highlighters

Sanrio Girlie. Likes cutesy low-grade nondescript alt fashion... new to the scene.

Keeps a diary and sketchbook. Scarily defensive and secretive about both.

When she's not with the other ink fish she's hanging around Dark Pit, the Kirby Gang, Jigglypuff and the Princesses. She sees the latter bunch as older sister or motherly figures and goes to them for advice.

Also very curious about the villains.

Small lil crush on Sephiroth. Though an innocent passing phase, the few smashers who do know fear the prospect of Sephiroth finding out lest he use it to manipulate her (think ace and buttercup in that one ep of ppg)

Does crush easily

Doesn't have a good home life. It is acceptable and possible for inklings her age to spend a lot of time away from home and even move out for school or work, but she is working up the courage to do so. Until then she spends a lot of time at the mansion

Knows either piano or violin. Writes poetry or possible songs.

Pretty quiet, tends to keep to herself unless she's familiar with the people she's around.

Generally serious and tries to be proper and polite

Big fan of Squid Sisters and Off the Hook. If she had to choose a favorite it'd be the latter but both are great. Also fond of Chirpy Chips and Ink Theory. The Gold Bazookas are a little much for her but still appreciates the vision

Gets along with Mica bc they have similar issues of feeling isolated but their friendship is a very quiet one and they're not like. Chummy

Same goes for Nasubi. Hikaru find the two's fighting upsetting.

Indigo (Nasubi Yamamoto) mainly he but anything goes

15

Slosher main

Japanese

A mimic octoling! From the outskirts of the Octarian territories, but moved/fled when he was around 11/12. Post WOL the secret is out. Normally his hair is either like the default punk cut or the scrapped haircut with bangs over the eyes.

Big on fashion as well, but more fond of DIY and thrifty trade than Mica's more pretentious taste.

Speaking of. Doesn't get along with Mica well. They clash a lot.

Gets into the most trouble of the bunch, often accidentally. Just has that sort of luck.

Street smart but scatterbrained and a big risk-taker. Tends to prefer what looks cool to what is practical. A little rough around the edges

Jokester, at times people get irritated that he doesn't seem to take anything seriously. Probably a self proclaimed "meme lord" at some point in his life.

Loves Diss-Pair, Sashimori and Dedf1sh. Anything rock or hip-hop.

Also a fan of omega 3 probably. Pro-salmonid which is another reason he doesn't like Mica, as they work for Grizzco.

Low grade punky-emo-somethin. Dresses the part a lil more outside of battles. likes a lot of y2k ish stuff

HAVE YOU HAD ANY OTHER TOA MUSES? caeda very briefly from when i first picked up the archanea games, and est whose app i wrote on the spot in the middle of the night after rereading her base conversations & supports

DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE A TYPE OF CHARACTER YOU GRAVITATE TOWARDS? i'm sure i probably do, but i wouldn't be able to put my finger on it myself. i think the process that happens for me when it comes to muses is that i find characters with certain aspects that i find interesting and would like to explore, then i learn to write them. and very rarely a character will just hit me over the head with a steel chair (yuri and est namely for muses i have/had in toa haha)

WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE YOU ENJOY WRITING THE MOST? i love exploring a variety of relationship dynamics, though antagonistic relationships and found family in particular are my favorites (paw against the glass for the ashen wolves..) and i like writing the disparity between what a character thinks internally versus what they would actually express externally. more generally, i really enjoy writing combat!

FAVORITE TOA-RELATED MEMORY. i think any silly rng moments with the dice. two that come to mind immediately are est & sirius whiffing their attacks against one another in arena and, far more recently, waking up to yuri immediately getting bodied in team zofia. those made me laugh a lot haha

HOW DO YOU PRONOUNCE TOA? by the letters! t-o-a

GOT ANY DELUSIONS THAT DIDN'T SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY THAT YOU'D LIKE TO SHARE? fun fact of the day is that edelgard was going to be my first muse before i got intimidated at the idea of writing a lord mfksldjflskd i unironically have delusions of writing sommie haha but otherwise i have half-written apps for clarisse, both solm royals, lysithea, and shez

Got any delusions that didn’t see the light of day in TOA that you’d like to share? :3

January - 2023

Games

High on life- not funny, not novel, pretty boring, enjoyable enough to finish once you get around the end but was about so close to dropping it a few hours in.

I don’t know if it makes sense but instead of being subversive it’s superficially subversive. It’s like “look at us we’re doing stuff differently” (this might be a direct quote) for all of like 2 seconds before going back to being the blandest shit I ever played. The 2 seconds aren’t even cool.

Tunic- deserves a game award, made me pull out sticky notes to decipher secrets. But it’s a wonderful game even if you don’t engage with the secrets (but they are amazing and you should). Talked several peoples ear off about it and will maybe do it again. I don’t know if I can add any praise that hasn’t been said before me. This game rocks.

Road 96- I saw a review calling it ��it’s as if a taletell game didn’t want to waste your time” and honestly (as a taletell games fan) I see what they mean.

It’s fun, it’s intriguing, having to find a new way to escape each chapter, interacting with the characters and discovering the story that is happening around you- all were interesting.

I liked how locations felt very open sometimes. Some scenes are basically cutscenes where you have very little choice. While other are more open location where you can explore backrooms and get rewarded with resources for your journey.

As a game who prides itself on being on being procedurally generated you’d think it would lend itself for replayability but second time around I was bored going through mostly same scenes as my first playthough. Even with the selecting different options they would mostly got he same way, made me wish there was more option I could do sometimes but it’s a game and can’t let me do everything ever so I don’t blame them for that.

If found- a queer story wonderfully told with an interesting mechanic, beautiful art style and music. I am the target audience for this and I enjoyed it lots.

Story hit me hard, the eraser mechanic surprisingly kept me focused while being just like wonderful way to keep the story moving, especially with how it was used to transition certain scenes.

The credits song slaps hard.

And the Ireland trivia is very cool actually.

Hi Fi rush- for the lack of a better term, it’s so fucking cringe. The most uninspired story and cast, every cliche and trope ever rolled around into one painful story. They try to use like jokes that make no sense and then they are like “isn’t it funny that it doesn’t make sense” - no it’s not

It’s as if they wanted to recreate the feel of Deadpool 2013 game only the main character is the most main insufferable anime boy character also the year is 2023 and nobody told the writers.

They had one good joke and it’s in the trailer and it’s about the writers of the game and not a ingame thing. The trailer starts with *freezeframe* “you gotta be wondering how I got myself here” and it kept going about the same level of humor.

Game mechanics wise it’s actually interesting and even fun! Chaining combos to the rhythm of a beat is actually cool (even if I kinda suck at it). I wish it was in a different game tho. Why can I guess every characters whole deal without hearing them. Why is there a character who’s just a jojo reference and the reference is look he does poses and got Japanese letter floating around? Why is the only time that I felt joy about the story in game is when the main character got hit so he shut the fuck up. At least the naming conventions of chracters is fun. If I could play this game on mute just so I didn’t need to hear the story I would but it’s a rhythm game so :/

Movies

Puss in boots- slaps, watch it

Glass onion- slaps, watch it

Predestination- it was a rewatch and honestly it’s not only fun cause you can see all the hints and joke they drop early before you know the twist that would go over your head. But it’s also fun since I watched it with a bunch of people who never watched it before and seeing them trying to guess what’s going on and then figure it out in real time was a blast. Span off my favorite in joke of the day with that group.

Akira- I can see why it’s a certified classic. I don’t know why there is a man having a asthma attack as a leitmotif in the soundtrack but it slaps.

Disclosure- been told by my friend I should watch it, I watched it, I would have watched it earlier, you should watch it.

Shows

Mob psycho s1- I’m rewatching it (watched season 1 and 2 and want to remember all before I go into season 3) as a watch party with friends and I’m having a blast. Missed my boy my son.

The last of us- so far- I could talk how it reignited my love for it, and how I forgot how cool is the specific way they made zombies, and how much I missed all the creature design. But episode 3 just came out and I’m weak. Good adaptation I was skeptical before it came out (I mean a video game adaptation,, you know how it usually goes down) and also didn’t get why does it need to exist. However good show so far love it love it love it.

💎 for vide noir

💎 are there any fun facts or trivia that you would like to share?

YES THANK YOU

-Vide Noir was originally intended to release in 2020 but was delayed due to the pandemic. There is, however, multiple clips in the album teaser back in 2018 from the movie so at least some portion of it was likely filmed around that time.

-you can also hear multiple songs from Long Lost during the movie, even though the album came out in 2021, so it also would have acted as their album teaser (something they do for all of their albums) for Long Lost.

-everyone saw the Cobb Avery cameo BUT there was also a Tubbs Tarbell cameo (on the TV during the motel scene) and a Big Jim (during the beginning credits) cameo

-Despite the "Dead Man's Hand" story being part of the Strange Trails album and not the Vide Noir album, it's portrayed in the film and actually makes Johnnie's part (as well the World Enders) integral to Buck's storyline despite this not being clear in the original album. not that im complaining I'll take another iteration of dead man's hand if it means seeing Johnnie again

-Vide Noir basically overhauled Buck's entire character in the lore from "sad lovesick country singer" to "absolute mess of a man who constantly lies for no reason and cannot be left alone for five minutes because he WILL cause problems for everyone” and for one am here for it. it also introduces the fact that he can see ghosts which?? was never brought up before???

-Secret of Life and Balancer's Eye despite being on the album don't play a role in the movie. Moonbeam doesn't have an explanation either. it's a weird case tho because while we do have a character named Moonbeam, the song is a love song and she and Buck have such little romantic chemistry even the wiki points it out.

-The movie kinda fucks with the lore A LOT but one point that bothers me the most is the existence of Alex. Like for the longest time we were told Dale was the leader of TWE and Johnnie's older brother, but when we get to Johnnie's part where he's talking about his brother as the leader he says its Alex, someone we've never heard of until now, and makes no mention of Dale at all. The Phantom Riders have a cameo but they aren't credited by name so like?? where is Dale?? what happened to him?? was he the leader at some point but not anymore?? who the fuck is Alex??? there's a third Redmayne brother?? ben whats going on here

-The song listed as Lee's Song that appears throughout the film is actually "I Lied". do with this information what you will :)

-The movie is direct by Ariel Vida, who also directed The World Ender music video and acted as a producer on the Fool for Love music video. everyone say thank you

[vacantgodling]

a tiny blorbo blursday ramble since the coolest person ever @fearofahumanplanet asked :DD

my brain has literally been all over the place with wips i'm not even gonna lie. i released 2 other wip intros for some more wips: lukewarm rejection and my giant fantasy wip the chronicles of lathsbury (which has its own sideblog lmao).

(and also in general a giant explanation for all of my wips that don't have intros yet. its just mini summaries but don't feel pressured to read ALL of it bc i have a lot of wips & its a whole lot lmao)

but in terms of actual things my brain is currently occupied with i'd say its been mainly train master chidori and god eater (with a side of lukewarm rejection bc my boys,,,)

some trivia about the blorbos:

CHIDORI (mc of train master chidori)

i've had some variation of chidori's character since i was about 10. i used to pretend to be her (bc she was a girl at the time--she was kind of like a self insert tbh) when i played on the merry-go-round at the playground and had a helluva good time lol. it's only been recently that i finally settled on an iteration that i liked, and unsurprisingly bc he started out as a self insert for me, it kind of makes sense that he ended up trans masc like myself

anyway tho he's a big dork who loves trains

i'm still trying to get the actual Plot of his story together but this is a post that kind of explains whats going on in a bare bones kind of way

DI & TOPH (mcs of lukewarm rejection)

these are ocs that i created with my ex back in hs and i got them in the divorce pFF

they were originally apart of a convoluted fantasy story (that people like /kudzu and /henrike and /scribbles will probably remember) HOWEVER this year i finally decided that i just wasn't happy with the story and how it was working and dispersed the ocs to be in other projects. a good chunk of them ended up in LR but like,,, most importantly to ME di and toph lmao.

toph has always been in a band. the reason i made him a demon is bc his original powers that were caused by Trauma i wanted to keep bc i really liked the idea of him being able to use chains to decapitate people. i just couldn't really separate it from his character, so by making him a demon i was able to keep that bit in.

random trivia: di is a vegetarian. bc its something that can't be removed from his og design. and instead of having a horse, he has 3 cats: bael, vivi, and faelwyn (who hes had since she was a kitten). he also has shit eyesight and he doesn't like/is scared of fish PFFF

toph gained a plethora more tattoos and piercings than the og design that he had. his favorite color is green bc its lucky. his favorite activities are sleeping and singing.

GOD EATER... is a mess

i actually finished writing everything out that i have so far for this wip and its another wip where i kind of don't know where to begin in terms of explaining it. however the 4 main characters really are:

nevaeh (this name is on purpose), a they/them who has been tasked to save the world very much against their will.

their guardian and guide little bear (he prefers that to his "actual" name ursa minor LMAO).

thei, the god eater himself (and a huge laidback, soft, crybaby when he's not literally causing the eradication of gods)

and his caretaker taj (a rouge legna *or angel* who decided to service his god's killer instead of finding another god).

the four of them are a lot of fun and despite this wip being kinda heavy its also gonna be a lighthearted mess :) i'm excited to uh. figure out how to explain it LMAO.

[metalsonicscraps]

HAII ~~~

ITS BEEN LONG < like haven’t chatted since feb- >

sorry for shouting at u but in other words it’s ME , your oti au lover, spreading joy n whimsy because I eat up your fics n headcanons < ur brain has my brain on a chokehold like agsksbiwtwnwlvd <333 >

ik you’re feeling a bit iffy bout the au cause of how ooc/awkward you find writing the romance n characters n stuff

but honestly any gram of crumbs you can give I am content !!

METALSONICSCRAPS !!! DROP OTI CRUMBS AND MY LIFE IS YOURSSS !!!!

<3

u r amazing !!

OMG HI! Its so cool that you still enjoy that AU! I've been thinking about it quite a bit recently, so a rewrite may be coming 👀 (don't quote me on that, I'm a full time student and I work a lot)

So originally, I was inspired by the Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan case. If you don't know what that is, basically Tonya's husband at the time orchestrated an attack on Nancy (which broke her leg) bc Tonya and Nancy were rivals in the figure skating olympics. Tonya was banned from the olympics for conspiracy or something like that

It was also inspired a story my skate coach likes to tell all the time. She broke her leg skating because one of her competitors grandmothers (yes, some sneaky old lady) purposefully loosened the blades on her skates.

One major thing I want to change about the story going forward is Eggman's presence. I wanted him to still be kinda the same, but having the Sonic team be heroes and hockey players is kinda a lot. I do have plans for him, but world domination won't be his main goal, hint hint. As for sonic and the gang, they might just do good on a small scale since there's no world-endangering threat.

Also I'm not sure how I feel about Maria being alive. Originally, it was relevant for the plot, but I realized that I can write the same story with her dead (sorry Maria fans lol)

That's a bunch a technical stuff tho, so let me throw in a fun headcanon. After hockey games, the team all go out to a local sports pub to get food. All the employees there know their names (mostly bc when they first started doing it they were super noisy and disruptive). Sometimes, they lead events there, like karaoke night or trivia night. I wanted to bring this up in the original fic, and then have all the staff show up to the big playoff game at the end to cheer them on lol. This is inspired by a sports pub in my hometown that I used to go to after softball games. We did fundraisers there and also bingo nights.

That's a lot, sorry for yapping. But I'm so glad you still have interest in this AU! Thank you for the ask, friend!

[stellahasarrived]

So Con. Con was sick as hell this year. Spent too much money but I'll make it back. Me and my irl bestie had a lot of fun with it. We started out going to all the dealer rooms and getting everyone's business cards. Like EVERYONE we could. Made some new friends and some new connections on my end. Including people I could write for~.

After that we bought stuff. We played Dance Dance Revolution. Took some pics of cosplays made other friends! Collected lOTS of Insta handles. We started seeing panels. A lot of 18+ ones. Got a little bolder this time~.

Saw one that was like a date fictional chara dating game where if u win u get hot shit of the character in question.

Then one where people had to play a character in someones smutty fanfic (within reason and boundaries, u didn't have to full on simulate shit)

I got called twice. I got to be a werewolf for one. It was fun tho. Tell u what? You'll never be embarrassed again after doing that lol.

Then a Madoka Trivia night which i ALMOST won actually. I was good. Made a new friend in there too. My friend is amazed I can do that lol. I make connections pretty organically, but sadly no con bf/cute guy. Kinda wanted that but, I'm fulfilled by my trip either way. Id rather no one then someone I feel half assed about.

In the Kalahari in particular there is a water park after hours. It was INSANE in there the rides and stuff. I loved that and a DJ plays while ur in the pool. Its fun~.

They ended the set with the Deadpool movie 3 track. Bye bye bye :P. But it was so fun.

I had some downtime to charge and show my friend cool shit too~. Epic the Musical being one.

Shout out to Smiley and all the people stopping like. IS THAT EPIC. Yes it was. Smiley if ur here I never got your insta and I wanted that. I'm here if ur interested.

I may upload some cool cosplays I saw. I think next con I go, I'll be Mami.

I'm not sure of the technical aspects of kuroiro's quirk but i don't really mind since he's basically a splatoon squid and that's hilarious (Also im sorry that fandom is shitty and makes you feel warry abt drawing hq I would love to see your art since it's my main fandom but would rather have you at peace simce fandoms can be...difficult)

I’m always concerned by the technical aspects of quirks, imagining them existing irl and how they might potentially work in practice is something I find super fun always! But yes, that doesn’t change that whether or not I can find rhyme or reason in Kuroiro’s quirk I still love it to no end, it’s such a fun quirk even just in concept alone!

[trashcanfills]

Everyone likes to put Zhongli as this calculative, thoughtful and strategic character which is valid but I raise you absent-minded Zhongli.

He is someone who thinks a lot about stuff so much there are rare times he has his head in the clouds. I mean as an immortal he has a lot of time and patience to come up and formulate these thoughts, so I wont be surprised if he stares down going hmmm occasionally like he does in one of the cutscenes preparing the perfume offerings for the statue.

This is canon. You absolutely cannot tell me its not because otherwise I have no other way of justifiying his forgetfulness of bringing mora with him or THOSE DUMBASS DIALOGUES OF HIS THAT I HAD TO SIT AND EXPERIENCE LIKE ONE WHERE PAIMON BASHES HIM ABT NOT THINKING ABT MORA WHEN THEY HAVE TO PAY FOR SHIT AND HE GOES “If one must always consider Mora before acting, then in all things one is bounded by Mora”

like bitch no shit but when it comes to buying stuff uhhh u are SUPPOSED to u know COMPENSATE them proper while keeping to your limit? Oh wait u have no limit because u can make mora as a god wait except U ARENT A GOD NO MORE U JUST FUCKING RETIRED AND ARE BOUND BY MORTAL PROBLEMS AKA MONEY PROBLEMS. HOW DO U NOT REALISE THIS WHEN U THOUGHT OF RETIRING?? I understand if this is because he doesnt understand mortal affairs but like bruh u CREATED the damn currency for them to use in the first placE.

Except no because after paimon gets understandably confused by what hes fucking sayin THIS FUCKER CONTINUES ON WITH “All Mora is currency but not all currency is Mora.” Like uhhh duh no shit why the fuck are u bringing this up all of a sudden we are talking abt your money wasting issue NOT PONDERING ABT THE EXISTENCE OF MONEY ITSELF oh my fucking god. And of course paimon the poor thing is just more confusion and goes “Is this how the rich live???”

No darling trust me even the rich have fucking awareness of money and spending it. Its just that this dude is on a completely higher level aka a god he doesnt have to consider money. Oh wait but hes RETIRED. As a MORTAL. And you think a smart fucker would actually be prepared for that or ask for help with that earlier on.

I shit you not as much as I greatly admire the wealth of knowledge Zhongli has, he is also annoyingly longwinded and beating abt the bush with his dialogue at times which makes me think hes not always like…focused on the matter at hand. Head up in the clouds kinda thing. To be fair I am also like that lol but at least I try to explain my thought process to ppl prob because I learn to uhh communicate properly coughcough.

Then at some point when paimon goes quick zhongli use your high society trivia knowledge to fix this contraption!! And zhongli responds with “hmm you seem to think of me as some sort of bourgeois parasite whose only utility lies in providing quaint pieces of trivia on demand.”

Yes sir that’s exactly how you have appeared to us so far. How else am I supposed to see you.

Hence cultured Zhongli but also dumbass Zhongli. Dear god. As much as I like this character he also frustrates me at times with what he says at times cus HE AINT GETTING TO THE FUCKING POINT IN ANSWERING ME, even tho I can relate to his character a lot. Oh wait is this how my siblings felt when talking to me?? Ok I understand their pain now.

Ok thanks for listening to my rant TedTalk lmao have fun incorporating absentminded zhongli in yall headcanons or sth.
