Story time!

Fox was having a shity day, and then he was having a great day.

The usual bullshit, politicians, riots, criminal activity, syndicates after his head. He hadn’t slept in 30 hours. He was out of fucks to give.

Palpatine knocked a pen off his desk and asked Fox to pick it up. Fox went blind with rage and shot him on the spot.

Corrie guards standing outside the room poke their heads in, and see what happened. They congratulate Fox and gently chide him for not giving them more advanced notice as they respectfully arrest him.

Fox is in prison for about 27 minutes while they fake his death via stabbing by inmates he had arrested previously. He gets the CT number and armor of an ARC captain and is sent back to work, as per protocol.

Fox decides that this is an excellent time to take a team and go take out the leader of the Black Sun syndicate because they’ve been a pain in the ass for a while now. So he loads up a slug thrower and goes to kill Maul.

Somehow, news of what happened got around rather quickly and many people came to the marshal commanders office demanding an explanation.

Thorn, newly promoted, was not having a good time.

“Fox has been arrested” he explained patiently “he’s dead now tho so don’t worry about it”

“What does our decommissioned batchmate have to do with this?” Cody and Wolffe demand “we’re here about Fletcher”

Thorn forgot about Fletcher.

Well, he didn’t forget. How could anyone forget Marshal Commander CC-1010 Fletcher- oh wait.

Thorn realizes he has Fucked Up. He does not offer further explanation. He just sits down in the shitty little chair behind the shitty little desk in the shitty little office full of generals and commanders staring at him suspiciously and Thorn banged his head on the desk. Maybe if he knocked himself out he wouldn’t have to deal with this.

The universe decides to mock him further. Fives and Dogma, who are supposed to be dead, stick their heads through the door and somehow miss the huge crowd of people.

“Fox just got back and he gave us Maul’s head before heading up to blackmail a senator after dealing with that riot, what do you want us to do with it?”

Plutarch, Brutus 7 (trans. Ian Scott-Kilvert)

this is an older rough comic from my WIP folder I had been planning on redoing from scratch, however I was re reading Plutarch's Brutus (as one does) and came across this line and decided to hit post because it'll be awhile before I can get around to doing a finished version of it, but I have thoughts about Brutus (derogatory) right now

I know The Founders Cut, generally, is the edited scrubbed over version of genloss from Showfall in-universe (as well as a not-8-hour-long-three-stream-binge-night whenever we want to watch it again) but something that struck me as odd and I haven’t seen anyone mention yet, is this warning

It shows up right at the junction where the third act starts, where it appears the Hero is breaking free of Showfall thanks to Hetch. But here’s the thing, while a LOT less than the previous acts the audience still played a significant role in this act, even when really only given two audience interaction choices. Which makes me wonder, how real is this warning, and who is it for? Obviously the audience involved knows what happens past this point, but the audience is also implied to be an integral part of the Social Experiments, which is part of why things start to tweak out when the Founder removes them in the Founder Cut as the Generation Loss generation loses.

My first thought, was that obviously this is another bait and switch, a way to draw the audiences attention, seeing something that’s secret, something that’s not “meant for them”, which is a tactic I could see Showfall using in universe to keep people’s attention and add an air of mystery to their shows.

But

Showfall is doing all their experiments and these shows with a LOT of help from their censors to show it off, displaying a fun silly show that is definitely not uber fucked up and that is 100% just slime don’t worry about it, it’s kid friendly if it’s green! And I don’t think they’d want to bet all their cards on this one experiment doing well enough to their audience to not question the sudden shift in tone that follows this warning. Which makes me wonder.

They did their test, they did their experiment, and the evidence of this last act? I think it was a one time run, they don’t want anyone seeing this, it isn’t for the audience. Act three is specifically to both test and play with their Hero, Hetch’s new lines add a level to this, never once does he call the Hero by their name, just refers to Ranboo as their Role, and he’s not exactly. Nice? About literally any of Ranboos concerns, which wouldn’t really seem conductive to making an audience trust him, especially with his monologue at the end. Ranboo has escaped before, possibly right before act 1 started, they tightened the security on his mask to be unremovably part of them, Hetch doesn’t like the Hero but they’re a fan favorite so he can’t just get rid of them.

Act three is the cumulation of Ranboo being punished for things they don’t remember, for daring to break free from Showfalls control, this is Hetch taking the Hero and essentially majorly fucking and manipulating them to take his frustration out on a fan favorite they can’t otherwise get rid of or give a smaller role like Slimecicle. which is exemplified by the fact that we now know Charlie most likely was never able to actually able to fully snap out of the control, that even in act three in panic and confusion there was at least still a part of him being influenced by Showfall.

So the first two acts are the usual show, they have their posters, they have Squiggles to introduce them, they have goofs and silliness and only a couple slip ups that’re quickly dealt with, the usual rose tinted curtains. Act three?

i refuse to believe this is a coincidence

hey wait listen to me. Consider Grime not knowing Sasha was an Actual Child until after she'd already earned her steel (and done so noticeably younger than your average toadlet did) and thus by toadish traditions was considered ready for adult combat and responsibilities

I believe in the cruelty of humanity teenage boys.

Today at practice I had the misfortune of overhearing a conversation between a boy my age and a girl who’s a friend of mine. I wasn’t trying to overhear, I was simply only 2 inches away. Now my friend, who’s my age, is very pretty. She’s skinny with an hourglass figure and a conventionally attractive face. This isn’t me trying to make a post about how “good pretty girls have it” and this is definitely not me trying to objectify my friend, but I think this is importantly context.

This guy, who’s older than us but not by a lot, pointed out this woman who was passing by. None of us knew her and I only saw her because of this guy. This woman wasn’t particularly plus size or fat (just for context-this situation wouldn't have been ok regardless of anything) but her stomach stuck out and she was a bit chubby around her waist and thighs.

…She looked like me.

And this tells my friend: “Hey, that’s what you look like”. The tone may not come across well in text, but he was saying this as a joke, to get a reaction out of my friend, who doesn’t look like that. As if in his mind, a girls worst fear would be to look like that. To look like me.

Maybe it is.

Immediately I go “She’s pretty,” referring to the woman. He gives me a strange look.

With one comment this guy has hurt three people.

He intended to hurt my friend, because of course the biggest joke of all is being ugly.

He hurt that woman, even if she’ll never know what was said about her, and turned her into a joke.

And he hurt me, a bystander, and he doesn’t even realize it. If he did, I know he wouldn’t care.

It’s just a meaningless joke to him.

It was a critical hit. (Why yes, I do play Kingdom Hearts.)

i will never understand why people put soooo much time and energy into hating people they don’t even know… ON THE INTERNET (and being so confidently wrong about everything they say)… when you can just…. get a fucking job? LMAO

and don’t get me wrong, i love me some good fandom discussions… but why are we verbally attacking people with which we share a common interest simply for having different opinions… i’m confused? begging this person to go outside!! grass is lovely!! touch some!!

Morrowind ships that I've been obsessed with recently (and that doubled as brush tests)

[mazziegoldobm]

I love when miscommunication is like “oh they’re actually a little bit weirder than I thought. Do they need help? Kinda cute tho.” And not “They hate me I can never speak to them again” (because I can’t handle angst)

Or alternatively (in case the devildom has no cigars, which I think is plausible)

Idk why I’m orange I was supposed to be slightly more orange-tinted not tangerine coloured help me
