Pre- perciverus body swap au

But like it's not all three of them

Like just two of them switching body's leading to the third losing their mind(horny)

ok so like 12 hours later but

Specifically this morning my brain was thinking about Marcus and Percy switching with Perciver already being a thing

and it being what leads to Oliver and Marcus happening because talking to him with Percy's face causes the initial "I want to fucking punch you" initial feels to not be as strong

as well as when they hang out together (because this lasts like a week) Percy keeps accidently acting the same as he always does when alone with Ollie by habit and it's making Oliver's head spin because yes it's his boyfriend but it's also not his boyfriend

Meanwhile Marcus is is losing his mind for very different reasons

namely does breaking a vow of chastity for your future wife count if you are not even in your own body? on top of his continuing spiral of internalized homophobia and god Percy is pretty and Wood keeps acting fucking weird and him blushing is making his chest feel weird and he hates it but in Percy's body he can't fight him (more like Oliver refuses)

Anyway!

i can't remember anything else i thought about this

but i think it's Percy's fault (though maybe not on purpose you know or maybe it is maybe he knows somethings up with flintwood idk)

anyways a quick phantom hourglass link headcanon since i dont have a ton of them: compared to in his wind waker adventure, he’s a little bit weaker in phantom hourglass. this is derived from him only having 16 max hearts in ph, and the control scheme limiting his attacks, but he’s weaker in a few ways for whatever reason following wind waker, be it due to lingering injuries or psychological effects caused by that first adventure

[badlydrawnjohn]

(anon saw an opportunity and chose violence >:3)

EB: uh. man. well. no.

EB: but that's ok! i like being a friend!

EB: if a friend is what people want me to be! then i'll be the best fucking friend ever!!

Wellllll for this week's Thursday Thornsday, I did technically start it at the end of my shift Thursday morning, but then completely forgot to finish it at the beginning of my next shift Thursday night, hence a Friday morning Thornsday. And then I kinda lost steam on finishing this one as cleanly as I wanted to, so here's what we've got now (turns out doing paintings on a single layer, especially when you very seldom do paintings, is not the best idea).

Rough piece of an idea I poke at occasionally, basically just "what if Delilah and Oriel decided not to get separated and just stay like this forever?" They don't really size wedding rings for huge beast paws, so a nice handmade stamped leather collar seems like a good compromise.

Me: -has gone into far more detail, backstory, leadup, and connection with Oreo and how Keith and Leroy became his Cards than necessary-

Cherri, Pachinko, Keno: What about us?

Me: -chugs a beer- who you?

I keep thinking about it so I'm just gonna make a post ig . Anyway alex hates his hair so fucking much he wants to get it cut sooo bad but he's scared that he might get found out [idk if this was mentioned before but he's in the closet it's basically a part of him now] . He knows it's kind of irrational but just in case + It's been like that for most of his life so he's used to it but he still hates it . A big part of his character is that he hates change and underneath all of his misdirected anger he is still a very scared and emotional person and this ties into that a little [also why he dresses in a very boring manner with clothes he doesn't even like, he doesn't want to stand out + he's been doing that forever]. He'll have to learn to confront this eventually but when he tries it just fucks him up more which is part of his terrible spiral because he starts to realize things about himself that he doesn't like and is inevitably scared of no matter how much he tries to cover it up with anger uagh I'm so ill about him fuc

Two Fibers Intertwined lore dump!!

Get ready im going to talk about these two creachers sooo much:

Constructed later on during the ancient’s existence, Two Fibers Intertwined is an experimental Iterator made by combining two previously scrapped iterator supercomputers. The ancients theorized that, if an iterator had two times the processing power, they would be able to reach that elusive triple affirmative easier.

2FI, being comprised of two iterators as well as double the machinery and neuron flies, requires an immense amount of water to operate, thus being constructed in the middle of a massive lake, now infested with leviathans. As such, it was also built far away from other iterators present in their local, to avoid any possible damage due to the mass water intake. The torrential rains around their superstructure are especially brutal as well, making access to the superstructure more difficult than usual.

The can has three possible access routes:

Perilous Walkway: The main bridge, now deteriorated with age, is the most straight-forward but dangerous route, littered with vultures and lizards, any brave slugcat that attempts to pursue this route will be met with a harsh challenge, but an albeit quicker way.

Flooded Transit Tunnel: An underwater connection to the bottom half of the superstructure, this tunnel was originally made for the transport of bulk materials to Two Fibers Intertwined. With age, the tunnel partially flooded. The route through the transit tunnel is definitely the safest alternative out of the three, as vultures cannot reach underwater! This section provides a much easier time for any curious slugcat, as long as they watch out for the leviathans and centipedes littering the interior of the tunnel!

Transmission Towers: A series of supermassive pylons connecting the superstructure to their communication array, this path is by far the most dangerous one to take. Any slugcats traversing this path won’t have to worry about any torrential rainfall, as its wires extend far above the clouds, but will have to watch their steps as several tesla coils have remained active over the years, making some surfaces especially fatal to touch. On the upside though, there's a surprising lack of animals at this altitude! Vultures very rarely swoop down (probably due to all the electric discharge present).

After the disappearance of the ancients, 2FI decided to give itself more individuality, calling its two iterators “1” and “2”.

1’s favourite activity is botany, she often sends her overseers around the land to investigate and catalogue all sorts of variations in vegetation in her local group, she also dabbles in genetic experimentation somewhat, although not as much as her brother. 1 is relatively level-headed and calm, although she can come off as cold and uncaring, especially towards the wildlife or any iterators outside her local group, or anyone she isn't acquainted with in general. 

Before being scrapped and becoming 2FI, 1’s former name was Ripples Within Ripples (RWR).

2’s favourite activity is genetic mutation, he is fascinated by creating new creatures and has the end goal of creating a new “ultimate apex predator” as he calls it. 2 is extremely energetic, almost always working on something to keep his hands and mind busy, be it reading pearls, creating abominations, or pulling sick pranks on the unsuspecting wildlife living on his can.

Despite his energetic and outgoing disposition, he does have a more serious side, especially when his sister requests something of him. Usually when meeting new people, he is the first one to talk, not because his sister is shy, but because he's just that energetic (could this be a side-effect of having two rarefaction cells in your body?).

Before being scrapped and becoming 2FI, 2’s former name was Countless Shimmering Droplets (CSD).

took a lil bit of a risk/shot in the dark last week and sent a cold email, and was expecting absolutely nothing to come from it, or even some pushback, but it's actually been going a lot better than I hoped?? still quite possible this is as far as things go, but even if it is, it was still worth

i've talked about the compulsive need to be "critical" (read: negative) and defensive when talking about things that you like. like knowing only how to praise things by berating other things. but there's another flavor of that: comparing them to some hypothetical perfect ideal.

even in my carefully curated sources for reactions to the mp100 finale, everyone felt the need to comment on if dimple coming back was the "right" thing to happen. few even said that the only thing they'd change in the story would be keeping him dead. everyone said him coming back felt right in context, but it would be the one small detail they would prefer to have happened differently.

a question came to me. does that preference actually have anything to do with mp100 and this specific instance of a dead character coming back? or is it because other series have used this trope, this tool, in unsatisfying ways? because it's the thing to do, to say that they should have stayed dead? it's an easy criticism, and often a fair one, after all.

but if mp100 was a story where dimple didn't come back, it would be a completely different story. it would be a harsh story, one where growing up comes with the cost of the magic dying out. dimple is mob's connection to the spiritual side of him, to the supernatural part of the world, like reigen is to the mundane and human. him staying dead would have read as that connection starting to fade. it would have made the ending read more as mob giving up his powers and moving past them, instead of accepting them as just a part of him, just a part of the world.

dimple's death, even as temporary, wasn't meaningless to the structure of the story. imagine if dimple was there when mob got hit by the car. would any of the final arc have happened? his absence might have felt minor, but he was a load bearing wall in mob's circle of friends. imagine if he was there to possess mob before shigeo stood up, or was talking there in the blank space of his mind like he is when he reappears. would the events have progressed unchanged?

the emotional impact of his death wasn't cheapened by his return, because dimple wasn't killed off to tug at the audience's heart strings. he was killed off to make mob vulnerable enough so that when things went wrong, they went really, really wrong, and the climax of the story could happen.

he came back, because sometimes people do come back, and mp100 was always supposed to be a kind and hopeful story. he came back, because without him coming back, the emotional resolution to the story would not be what it is.

and it's okay to prefer those other kinds of stories, those other kinds of resolutions. but mp100 is not one of those, and never tried to have a conclusion like that, and dimple coming back isn't a small detail but a necessary part of achieving that.

you are allowed to enjoy it on its own merits.

I feel like I’ve lived through at least a month just in the past 3 days. I checked the date just now and damn near had an out of body experience when I realised Monday was only two days ago

[thunderboltfire]

Finally, some bare essentials. (I’ve finally installed some mods for Cyberpunk 2077)

hiii this is unprompted but how did you figure out that the aru sekai series is like. a series

hiya! i figured it out when kyuuyaku was posted. i'd already been listening to aru sekai shoushitsu a lot before that so when it got to about 4:48 in kyuuyaku & mainly 5:16 i was like WAIT A SECOND. THATS THE SAME AS MELODY AS THOSE LYRICS IN ARU SEKAI ISNT IT??? & it was. the nami no ne no lyrics/melody. which made me actually look at the lyrics and see that hey the first part of shoushitsu starts with kyuu & kyuuyaku hankagai ALSO starts with kyuu (same kanji) & it's emphasized in the video too. & then when shuuen touhikou was posted the shuu is the next kanji in that order in the shoushitsu lyrics AS WELL AS it also has the same melody mixed in in the back of the chorus (say, 1:19 for example is the first instance). & every song in the series up until kugutsu ashura has that same melody or at least part of it Somewhere. so that really cemented it for me. theres other ways to tell besides that but thats how i realized it.
