‼️NIGHTBRINGER LESSON 53 SPOILERS‼️
masterlist | all lessons | season 3 | lesson 52 | lesson 53.2 | lesson 54
now i knew we were gonna get some kind of lore drop given the "waking up from a dream" title card at the beginning of the lesson
can someone explain to me what the FUCK is going on ???? like it's obvious we're not supposed to be there, but where is there?
for context, all we saw was a black screen with the characters in front of it. like what is happening
the way that lucifer was so adamant about mammon not using his card in meowcao only to let him use it anyways 😭
he can't resist his favorite baby brother ig
HELP 😭 not he told levi to touch grass
but on a less joking note i think this is sweet bc it's clear that he's worried about levi's physical/mental wellbeing
if only he worried this much about his own wellbeing
also is it canon that levi sometimes takes virtual classes bc of lucifer's intervention or is that something i/someone else headcanoned ??? bc it's canon to me
maybe i'm having war flashbacks from meowcao but this isn't sitting right with me. idk. maybe this is where the "dream" (?) mc had comes to fruition
but back to the dream, was that like a vision ??? was it actually happening in real time ???? maybe i'm just dumb and sleepy idk (it's midnight in china rn)
ngl i completely forgot about mc's whole magic sickness thingy (i'm so tired forgive me)
what happened when someone gets magic sickness ?? do they die ???? don't leave me in the dark
okay but WHY is this a thing ??? like i feel like we're back in season 2-3 of the 1st game when mc did that whole quest to become a sorcerer 😭 ik solomon taught them better than that like c'mon gworl get it together
but i GUESS it can be explained bc they have pacts with 2 sets of demons from different timelines, and that's a lot of magic for a mortal to be able to tap into. given all the emotional strain they've been put through, i get it
#obeymegivemcabreakchallenge2k24
the way that literally NOBODY answered mc 😭 but why are they talking within earshot of literally everyone at the fire. i wanna be nosey. let me in.
the next part of the lesson having the title card "devildom flowers, celestial realm memories" is scaring me a little bit ngl. what is this is the "dream" mc had earlier
:((((
ik i said i wanted a lore drop but this hurt. now i get why raphael's been mopey since coming back to the devildom. not only has simeon lost his wings, but he's turning into a demon on top of that, drifting further away from the celestial realm and raphael by proxy
more on this here
but also why would they end of a cliffhanger ??? raphael opens up and then they bith get attacked by god knows what
can diavolo just...kill whoever's trying to attack the brothers. like is that illegal here. can it be legal just this once
#obey me#obey me nightbringer#obey me spoilers#nightbringer spoilers#obey me nightbringer spoilers#obey me lucifer#obey me simeon#obey me raphael#obey me mc#lucifer obey me#simeon obey me#raphael obey me#mc obey me#obey me mammon#mammon obey me#obey me levi#obey me leviathan#levi obey me#leviathan obey me#obey me belphie#obey me belphegor#obey me mephisto#obey me mephistopheles#obey me asmo#obey me asmodeus#obey me diavolo#diavolo obey me

So, Chapter 112 is out.
We don't exactly get much of explanation or distinction from S5 ending ep.
Mori, he really just glued in the fangs for FUN! What even is the Mafia! (Plus, Dazai Laughed!) We had old man Yaoi. I am not going to talk about it as we already know what went down there. We got Kunikida, Atsushi and Tanizaki. And Gogol man being sad (it broke my heart again to see his reaction). Ngl, even i would be sad if someone killed my Situationship But not Chuuya calling out that Situationship, lol (That was my exact reaction when a friend of mine told me she was in one and how it works) SKK bickering, still. And Fukuzawa being handed the greatest responsibility.
All in all, everything we had seen so far, only an added reaction here and there.
Next chapter will most likely also follow through the rest of the episode. But nothing much is left, so chances are that we may get new content. Or latest by April.
This all seems well and good, but I'm suddenly feeling anxious about how things are going to progress further.
I've said time and again, BSD takes 'it can't get worse than this' phase and just proves it wrong again and again. We reach new rock-bottoms every time.
So, things looking up now, gives me anxiety that something is going to go horribly wrong. (Cue the flashback of the 'Two hours later' bit)
All things that can horribly go wrong:
Everything with Soukoku at Meursault. I find it so weird that we are not getting detailed explanation of how things are proceeding there. We have seen Dazai and Fyodor play mind games for so many arcs now, there is always an explanation at the end of each one. But this doesn't have that 'satisfactory' level of explanation yet. Yes, Chuuya again came to Dazai's aid, but how? How did Dazai knew that the Vampires were turned in his favor. Would killing Fyodor (if he actually is dead) really be wise? How is he sure that it was Fyodor plan all along to get killed and he played right into it? You know when things are kept ambiguous, as most things related to Prison break arc are, it means there will be some facts that will come in light later. And that's what I'm scared of because it can be anything! It does not help that Dazai is yet to take that antidote! What if it doesn't work? What is Nikolai goes for revenge? Since he love's loosing himself and that's why he fought, so what if he continues? Can Chuuya's gravity manipulation even be effective against someone like Gogol? He can just go from one place to another, dodge all of Chuuya's attacks. We also know he can use his ability with Dazai as long as he isn't touching him. What is he takes the antidote form the case before Dazai can take it? That makes him such a kryptonite for Soukoku.
Then we have,
The Shin soukoku's battle against whatever that (Fukuchi) was. Two hours, if you think about it is not a long duration of time for things to start fucking up suddenly. There must be something already laid in waiting for it to start going shit when time comes. We are yet to get the details of how the Vampirism is going to wear off. Because it does, Akutagawa was back to normal when he was fighting with Atsushi. Sskk teaming up is well and good, but can they stand against that being? They had a hard time dealing with Fukuchi only a while ago, this enhanced being will be much tougher than them. What if this also is set for failure? only for the world to be purged into more chaos? Maybe i'm being a bit to pessimistic, but i've lost confidence in the mangaka's they always do the unexpected and kill everyone's favs, fr.
That also makes me think
Will taking on the role of Mankind's leader, lead to Fukuzawa on a deeper end? We know he struggled earlier, before founding agency, with his assassination work. He had refused to work in the war for a reason. Won't this be undoing everything he's worked for so many years? Also, taking in that honor from their government (or officials, i don't exactly remember what it was. I'm talking about the appreciation symbol of katana'?' they received at the beginning of S4) that basically led them to take on that case that declared them terrorists. Won't taking the role of Mankind's Leader also make Fukuzawa susceptible to be declared as the Mankind's Enemy? This seems similar to that previous situation. Reminds me of how Ranpo called this responsibility, or last wish, a curse. And Ranpo is always right, so there's that. Maybe that's how they are going to introduce the next adversaries?
Too much uncertainty and what-ifs.
#let's all live by HCs please#then we don't have to super analyze everything#all my thinking could be for nothing other#wish i could go back#to the time where the only problem was skk's generational rivalry#no need to worry about the future#but my brain wont let me#bsd#bungou stray dogs#bsd spoilers#bsd 112#bungo stray dogs#bsd manga#bsd dazai#bsd chuuya#dazai osamu#chuuya nakahara#soukoku#shin soukoku#atsushi nakajima#akutagawa ryuunosuke#bsd atsushi#bsd akutagawa#president fukuzawa#fukuzawa yukichi#bsd fukuzawa#ranpo edogawa#bsd ranpo#bsd fyodor dostoevsky#bsd fyodor

hey!! I hope everything's been going well for you!! I just wanted to know what are your thoughts about the new black ops 6 trailer and the hype around it? I'm super excited (mostly bc adler and woods) but I'm also a bit scared that this is going to be another mw3. what do you think? :)
Ahhh Quizzy! It's nice to hear from you 💙 I'm glad you're back!!
I was excited for this game before anything dropped. I love the storytelling of Black Ops, the nuance, and how dark it can get.
And I'm really happy that it's another retro setting. Especially if they lean into the 90s the same way the did with the 80s in Cold War, it will give it such a unique feel.
I had been preparing myself for a game without Woods, so seeing that he seems to play such a huge role in this one- I'm completely over the moon! And it's so cool that they decided to use him in a leadership role rather than sidelining him. The story really has potential, it feels like a classic spy thriller and that's what I want to see. There's some mystery, betrayal, all the good Black Ops stuff I love.
I don't think this game is another MWiii. It could be bad, and I'm preparing myself in case it's bad or lackluster. But MWiii was a game that should have never happened. It wasn't supposed to happen. It was a glorified DLC to see if they could cash in on the success of MWii. And it's bullshit. They could have just let MWii sit for two years and cash in on skins, but they didn't. It was crap and not how you treat a loyal fanbase or the people who work for you. Devs were working nights and weekends to get this thing out and they laid them off when it failed. Basically, that project was doomed from the start.
What gives me hope here is the long development cycle. 4 years, kind of crazy to think that this is the longest development period for any CoD. But it is.
And it sounds like whoever is in charge actually gives a damn about exploring the characters for who they are. So we are going to deal with Woods' feelings around shooting Mason, his injuries, not being in the field anymore, and who knows maybe even being a guardian for a kid (I hope David is at least mentioned in this one).
Even what I've seen of Adler- it does seem like they're sticking to him being an enigma. And while I want to know more about him, at the same time I'd be ok with him just always being a little sus. He's a guy who has spent a lot of time in the shadows. It'll be fun to know what he's been up to since Cold War. Maybe they'll hint at what happened to Bell (if they do hopefully it won't result in rewrites of JWIN because I have a whole lot more to write 😅).
Also Adler and Woods teamup, ngl that sounds pretty cool.

I have a rant for you when you get further along in dragon age, I'm pissed.
I'm like lvl7 and still in Haven. The world is too big. I haven't left the first starting area yet. I keep unlocking new areas from the war room but too overwhelmed to go dip my toes in them yet. Idk what I'm doing, man. I'm losing approval left and right what's happening these missions never fucking end
At least Vivienne seems to like me and the choices I make. Roleplaying the protagonist as a snobby noble is a fun idea, they said. Think of all the character development potential they said. It will get you mad puss they claimed. Well now Sera doesn't wanna fuck me as much, Blackwall is a goddamn bore who got pissy when I said "I enjoy being worshiped" as if my protag isn't literaly the second coming of christ! Cullen is a fuckboy without the fuck, why did he stutter when I mentioned celibacy and blush like a maiden? also why the fuck would anyone tries seducing someone else by the mention of celibacy vows? The protagonist rizz game is atrocious but thankfully everyone is too distracted by the perfect tits and pretty face to notice.
Casaandra is still going strong ngl she's mad cool, all romance scenes have been W after W after W. She also doesn't mind my character's god complex and I think she might be down to join the overzealous worshippers fanclub if I play my cards right.
I also forgot Solas's entire existence and got jumped scared by him while picking herbs around the camp. I forgor I stripped him from all of his armour and weapons, left him in his PJs amidst a snowy mountian hill bc I parked him permanently outside a hut the second Vivienne joined my party. How come they're both bald is it like a great mage requirement or a new fashion trend amdist the circles
I got a horsey at least, that's fun
Anyway is there a cult ending or something if there is I think I want the cult ending. At first I was one the fence about claiming to be the herald of Andraste bc I don't remember what tf happened in that pit. But now I'm down with it, like yeah sure, I'll be your Joan of Arc, I'm the chosen one. Actually Andraste herself came down from the heavens and let me suckle on her tatas which granted me this powers. I am the Prophet, I am the Maker's favourite little human, Obey me. Worship me. Pay me. They should establish new churches in my name.
a cult harem would be nice, a throne too, some long robes would be cracker ngl
Are those people french btw?

i'm turning this round on you. if you've played bloodborne, then most fuckable five bosses from that. if you haven't, same for a different fromsoft game of your choosing. (feel free to do more than five)
I haven't played Bloodborne, I don't use the peasant boxes. But I did watch a playthrough so I'll go ahead and vote anyway.
First imma go through them all and smash or pass and then I'll tell you my faves. Good? Good. Anywhore!
Amygdala
Pass. Look, usually I'm a slut for multiple arms, can't go wrong with multiple arms. But this thing's head looks like a tick and I cannot get over that.
Blood-starved Beast
Pass. Concept art looks dope as hell and very smashable, but in-game it's giving Slav grandma and Slav grandmas fucking scare me. So a very hard pass.
Celestial Emissary
Pass. It looks like someone's diaper-bound toddler. Like the dumb thing was falling over too much so the parents just wrapped it's head in foam and let it terrorize the local wildlife. It also looks like it's fingers would be that nasty toddler level of sticky. Just no.
Cleric Beast
Smash. It's big. It's scary. It's harry. It's got horns. It looks like it's rotting just a lil bit. It's jaw looks like it's been scrapped raw. What's not to love? The only gripe I have are the weird stubby toes but I can tolerate it, not like I have to look at those things.
Darkbeast Paarl
Smash. It's like bones and hair and electricity. It's about the logistics at the moment but I'm down to figure it out.
Ebrietas, Daughter of the Cosmos
Smash. Very eldrich. Very have no clue what I'm looking at. Very I'm into it.
Father Gascoigne
Pass. That's just a grandpa. And not even a hot grandpa.
Gehrman, the First Hunter
Pass. That's just a grandpa. And an ugly grandpa.
Martyr Logarius
Pass. That's just a grandpa. An old and freeze-dried grandpa.
Mergo's Wet Nurse
Smash. Smash so hard. The multiple arms. The wings. The empty hood. The absolute feral creature posture. The way it's tattered and ruined and deadly. Smash.
Micolash, Host of the Nightmare
No.
Moon Presence
Smash. Eldritch. The fucking tentacle hair. The weird skull hole face. The ribs. Look it already has a weird sexually non sexual relationship with the player. I might as well. I might as fucking well.
The One Reborn
Pass. It's just too messy for me. I like the idea of this thing being made of parts, of people, of victims. But the design is just too damn messy. It's all over the place. It doesn't look like it added with purpose, with design, it just added stuff for the sake of adding, for the empty want of MORE. And I'm just not into that.
Rom, the Vacuous Spider
Fuck, no!
Shadow of Yharnam
Pass. These are just dudes in robes. There's nothing all that interesting about them. Not even some sexy armor, or weird gore, or bones sticking out.
Vicar Amelia
Hard smash. It's like Cleric Beast's more elegant sexy cousin. There's horns as well! And I mean I do like the aesthetic of her being so white. She has a nice smile as well, so long with so many pointy teeth.
Witch of Hemwick
Pass. It's just moldy Slav grandmas.
Ludwig, The Accursed
Weak pass. It's just the face I have a problem with here, tbh. It's just leaning too much towards horse, like regular normal horse.
Orphan of Kos
Pass. Just looks like a dude to me. A skinny twitchy white dude who ran out of drugs and that's now everyone's problem. Now... his mom on the other hand... ho boy.
Lady Maria of the Astral Clocktower
Smash. Yes, yes regular looking woman. But listen! She's tall. She's strong. She's a war criminal. She killed a god with a stick. Like I'm down. She can bend me over and I'd be down. I like her style. And she also stabs herself during the fight... kinda hot ngl.
Living Failures
Hard pass. It's like Celestial Emissary's failed cousins, slightly older and worse. Also have you seen their buts!? They've got the saggy frog butts.
I think the fuck not! Look at that thing!
Laurence, The First Vicar
Smash. Like I know he's one of the worst fights in the game and also the fire, but like... the sass. The fucking attitude in this one pose. Love that for him. Also yes, scraggly dog beast man with horns and ribs on the outside. Very smash.
Now as for the rankings... 1. Mergo's Wet Nurse 2. Cleric Beast 3. Vicar Amelia 4. Laurence, The First Vicar 5. Moon Presence 6. Lady Maria of the Astral Clocktower 7. Darkbeast Paarl 8. Ebrietas, Daughter of the Cosmos
Now in other news, I've realized that Bloodborne is very much moodboard, but it's a lot less fuckable than I thought.

So I've played enough Veilguard that I've finally recruited all companions. I've been enjoying the game so far, but ngl I really miss Inquisition in many ways. I think I'll replay it after this (but I need to finish Zelda too, aaah so many games, so little time).
Anyway, some thoughts so far. (If you respond, please keep your response spoiler free for anything that happens after recruiting the last two companions.)
The three main things I really miss from Inquisition are:
1. Exploration
Like I know, there's a lot to do on the areas we get, but... idk, it feels kinda linear and disconnected at the same time. I really loved how vast the zones in DAI were, like there's this meme about never leaving the Hinterlands but honestly that's what got me hooked to the game in the first place, there was just so much to explore, it felt like the possibilities were endless. Here it's a bit too much like Xillia lol, follow a path, maybe come back later to open up new zones, but otherwise it's pretty linear. (ik it's closer to DAO and DA2 in that regard so it's not like they're changing the formula entirely, but personally I preferred the DAI style and I really miss it.)
2. Skyhold
I know it fits the circumstances better, but... the Lighthouse feels so empty. I miss how bustling the homebase was. I miss going to the companions and talking to them about random stuff. I miss the NPC populating the area (you can find them in other cities mind you, but it's not the same thing if you have to travel to different places instead of just hearing their ambient dialogue as you run around your own castle). I miss the war table missions.
3. Getting a feel of your character from early on
I like Rook but gosh building up headcanon for her is a struggle. We're told next to nothing about her background, so ig you could feel like "great, a blank slate to headcanon in any way" except wrong, because you'll then get details that contradict it later on. I really, really wish they'd either been clearer about certain stuff in the character creator, or even better, let you set things up at the beginning through dialogue wheel choices. Like, one of my fave parts of Inquisition was to develop my Inky through the options given through conversations with companions or story moments. I played a Lavellan, and I had fun establishing her feelings about her clan and elf culture, how she hated the Andraste thing being forced upon her, stuff like that. With Rook, I made her a Veil Jumper elf mage, so I thought she was Dalish, picked vallaslin and everything... only to learn she's not Dalish when picking the option to comment on her vallaslin. But then she speaks elvish and knows Dalish cultural things (which would make sense for a Veil Jumper as she did spend some time with a Dalish clan but I'm told other faction Rooks also have that when it makes no sense for them). Also apparently she might have been in a Circle? Not sure, the game isn't entirely clear but seems to both imply it and not. I guess it's to leave stuff out for interpretation but I would have much preferred it if it was something you could define clearly through options.
Like take the Dalish vs city elf thing - quite easy, instead of that weird comment when picking the vallaslin option in the mirror scene, have several options, one that's like "I remember the day I got my vallaslin like it was yesterday" (cue more options like "I was so nervous/excited/happy/scared/whatever"), one that's "I got it when I joined the VJ", and one that's "I know I'm not Dalish but I thought it was cool". Or something like that. And based on those options you get slightly altered lines when your background becomes relevant later on. Like, please help me build my character, game. Don't just let me make stuff up in my head only and then spring details at me out of nowhere.
A few others things I'm a bit eh about:
Dialogues often feel very stilted. Could be due to the voice acting tho; the voice I picked for my Rook has a rather unnatural speech cadence in a lot of instances, I wish she sounded more like how a real person talks rather than a pre-recorded train announcement lol. Do English-speaking players have the same issue or is it just the French VO?
It feels weird saying this, but where's the discrimination gone? I'm playing an elven mage, and I've yet to hear a single "knife-ear", even in fricking Tevinter. The tension between all the races and mage vs non-mage etc was part of what made this world so rich, so it feels like we're in a diluted version of the setting, which as worldbuilding nerd is pretty disappointing.
The lack of continuity with your previous games' playthroughs. Like I don't need a full report on how my every choices impacted the current story, but I wish we could have carried more over, if only for throwaway lines and little world tidbits. Like talking to Harding about the Inquisition is frustrating compared to how detailed Varric was about the DA2 cast in DAI. And there are some choices I thought would be significant, like who is made Divine, Bull's fate in Trespasser (and whether he romanced Dorian ;p) etc. Like seriously I don't need much, just a throwaway line here and there, which is sad not to even have.
That said, there's a lot of things I like so far:
The little visual details. Like I'm obsessed with the way long hair falls off the shoulder when Rook moves. So cool. Also injured companion's scars fading progressively. Little things like that are pretty neat, I spend a lot of time just staring at the screen lol.
Some areas are really pretty. I also spend a lot of time staring at the scenery lol
The way you can set appearance independent from equipment. Also the personalization of the Lighthouse. Yeah ik I'm a sucker for fashion and interior design options XD
All the accessibility options. I don't really need them, and idk if they're well implemented, but looking at all the ways to customize your gameplay is pretty cool.
Also this is the first time I've actually heard "iel" spoken out loud.
The puzzles. Sometimes it's a bit frustrating to be stuck on a thing until you have more companions (can't help it, I see a treasure chest, I need it now), but otherwise figuring out how to get the stuff can be pretty satisfying. Sometimes I spend a lot of time on it, thinking I should probably come back later then, but end up solving it anyway. I wish there'd be more sidequests tho.
ASSAN. I'm tempted to romance Davrin just for Assan lmao. Also, petting cats and dogs everywhere. The cats purring. Gimme all the cats.
Overall I'm quite liking all the companions so far. There's still a lot to discover about them, but they're all compelling in their own way, and it's always hard to choose who to take along (while in Inquisition I had clear favorites rather easily). Also banter between them when exploring being more frequent really makes me want to bring different combinations to get to know them and help them get to know each other heheh. (Honestly I might end up shipping them between each other more than with Rook lol)
Varric's dramatic storytelling at the end of each story point.
The basic premise. Solas' 10-year grand plot to tear down the Veil being thwarted by a reckless dumbass knocking down a statue and him getting trapped as a result and being relegated to giving cryptic advice in her dreams is peak comedy. A+ execution, would do it again.
Bellara and Neve starting a bookclub. I think I'm more invested in this ambient subplot than in the main story at the moment lmao
#yume plays veilguard#dragon age the veilguard#datv spoilers#i'm generally quite enjoying it#despite having a lot of gripes lol#i also realize that some of them are probs due to the game's tumultuous development#so while i'm a bit disappointed at stuff i'm also understanding

HI!
🎱🥤🧩
Hello!!! Always nice to see you!!! 😄
🎱 ⇢ Post your AO3 total stats
Awww, I hadn't checked in a while and checked like a week ago and I had 100 subscriptions then, who left me? What did I do? 😔 /j
🥤 ⇢ Recommend an author or fanfic you love
Omg, okay.
So I'm doing a bunch of different fandom fics for variety:
Magic Blankets: A Star Wars fic in which the power of a very silly droid teaching Anakin to crochet saves the galaxy. Including this part that makes me weep like a baby every single time, this is such a soothing fic: "Love is the most dangerous and beautiful thing in the universe. Anakin loves deeply and even the most darkest of people cannot stand against such love."
Weight in Scales: An incredible Fire Emblem Heroes fic that explores the disaster waiting to happen that is to reunite people from different universes that work with different rules in the same place. Aka, Soren's latent dragon blood activates due to Ninian's dragonstone. Featuring the whole breakdown from that revelation, the alliance and friendship of the half-dragons and a lot of comedy really well executed.
Empty Graves: When I tell you I don't even go here??? I'm not in any superhero media fandom and yet this fanfic delivered so well it couldn't not be one of my favorites. The premise is that time travelers try to murder Superman when he was a baby but Martha Kent is NOT having anybody murder her kid. It's SO good.
Area Hysteria: I'm a simple woman with simple wishes and this MP100 fic hits the nail on all of them. Basically a freak accident happens and Reigen is half on his way to dying while buried under a crumbled building, with Dimple helping keep him alive. Features: Dimple being the best little spirit in the world ever, Ritsu not coping with still being kinda scared of his own brother, all the kids trying to deal with the fact they all felt Reigen as kind of a reliable presence in their lives and now he's just not there and they don't know what to do, and Serizawa realizing that oh, no, he's the adult in charge of all of these overeager children now and he has to step up to the plate.
love will hurt you, but love will never mean to: Just the title makes me want to cry, ngl. It's such a beautifully written fic about how Hunter gets used to his new life and to the feeling of being loved. My mind always jumps to this one when asked about fic recommendations because it makes me feel things, you just have to read it.
🧩 ⇢ What will make you click away from a fanfiction immediately?
I answered this one already with 1st person POV, which is true, but for another thing I can't take is definitely when being faced with a block of text. I said I could power through the formatting problem at times and while that's true, it really depends on motivation an energy and most of the times it's a no anyway.
Thank you for the questions!!! From this ask game

i have a questionnnnn
do you like video games?
and do you know baldur's gate 3 and final fantasy 7?
i got into those during my last vacations and idk why it never occurred to me to ask you even tho i am obsessed with astarion and sephiroth (it's always the white haired guys my taste is so predictable) and cloud but that's another thing
the characterization in both of those games is soooo good especially if you watch almost everything ff7 related like i did (takes a while though)
anyways i felt you could do them justice if you were to write about them, especially astarion. ngl i was very disappointed when i went on socials, as usual, to consume content about the media i just watched and i was very shocked in a bad way
not by the quality, there's just tons of thirst edits for example and while i agree his character is pretty and everything, it kinda hurt cuz it just went against his WHOLE character arc ... i was very disappointed with the fandom haha
same with sephiroth, though i didnt resent as much cuz his story isn't about the fact of being sexualized against his will
UGH I LOVE BOTH OF THEM SO MUCH. SORRY FOR THE RAMBLING -
anyways yeah i love media in general, series/movies/games you name it as long as there's a story or just one character that i rlly like i'll love it
so i was wondering what games you liked... or media in general at this point, except the movies you posted about
also no pressure but is there a system with asks? are they removed from your inbox if you answer them? are they automatically deleted after some time? just to know cuz i haven't gotten an answer to mine and i'm scared i might've said something bad! esp since i read badly your rules and didn't see a negation and maybe said smth about looking forward to a next part :') smh

hey besties i have fanfic-themed but not directly plot-related questions! well, mostly
question 1) do yall have any favorite zombie media? was there anything in particular that yall are drawing on for your fic?
personally i've been scared of zombie movies all my life lol but because of tamn i've finally been trying to finish the world war z audiobook? (the last time i tried getting thru it was pre covid which has been. a weird experience) it's fully voice acted and i like it so far! super different from the 2013 movie with brad pitt
question 2) :3 do you guys think you'd be up to talk about the no-apocalypse au where scarian get to have a normal breakup someday? :3 it doesn't have to be now or anytime soon but i'd be into hearing about it!
anyways hope yall are having a good day lock and key ^_^
These are some really REALLY good questions!!!
for starters! for me (Lock) I actually didn't start watching zombie media until Key introduced me to it! We watched the Korean series All Of Us Are Dead together, and then followed it with Last Of Us (the tv adaptation) and the first seasons of The Walking Dead, so I've have a very curated window into zombie media (actually! We watched Walking Dead as research for TAMN, because Key wanted to make sure I understood what hordes of zombies in cities look like!)
As for Key's zombie exposure (lol): I (Key) WAS BIG INTO ZOMBIES GROWING UP!! Constant zombie media consumption--probably one of my earliest hyperfixations ngl I feel like what we're drawing on while we write TAMN is an amalgamation of all our favourite bits from the things we've seen together, as well as some of my favourite formative zombie medias while growing up.
The Walking Dead Season 1 remains like, one of my all-time favourite seasons of any television show ever, so that's definitely a big influence. (Some of the later seasons get a lot less of my love LOL) The Korean movie Train to Busan is also a popular one you may have heard of--I'd definitely recommend giving that a go if you're okay with zombie media that veer on the side of tragic. When The Last of Us (Part One) came out, it quickly became my favourite zombie-oriented video game, though a lot of its predecessors (Resident Evil series esp.) really gripped me (even though it took me ages to play-through cuz they would scare the shit out of me LMAO) Its TV show is also an excellent adaptation, so if you're not into playing it or watching a Let's Play, the show is a good bet! The UK series In the Flesh was also an interesting look into After™ the apocalypse, and though it was cancelled after it's second season, it's also worth a watch for a fresh perspective on zombie media. 28 Days Later was an excellent movie and ofc Dawn of the Dead is a classic. And then the usual comedies like Shaun of the Dead, Zombieland, etc.
I saw World War Z as a movie but never read the book! I should def give it a try--idk why I never did! God, honestly I could ramble about zombie media forever if given the chance 😂 None of this even begins to cover the sheer amount of zombie comics I read. I was very much a "webcomic" era kid, so a lot of my favourite old original zombie comics are either offline now or I simply don't remember what they were called anymore, so I have no way to track them down :( I did recently enjoy the webtoon Boyfriend of the Dead as a light-hearted, humourous read, but there were a lot of gripping, nuanced, plot-heavy original comics like a decade ago that I loved and I wish I could link. ANYWAYS. I'LL STOP MYSELF HERE AND LET LOCK ANSWER QUESTION NUMBER 2 LMAO
HI IT'S LOCK. I'M BACK. Now, as for a non-apocalypse Scarian scenario, we've actually thought about this a LOT! One of our favourite things to do is make an AU, and then multiple "what if one key things was different" spinoffs of the same AU.
We're gonna put this under a read-more, in case you'd like to keep the "what if" a mystery forever, but to sum up:
In an alternate reality where Scar and Grian break up and then the zombie apocalypse doesn't happen........ they stay broken up! Scar gets what he longs for in the fic: time away from Grian to hurt and grieve and heal with the support of his close friends who care about him.
It takes him a while until he feels ready to date again, but Scar does eventually start a new relationship with someone he knows really well, and has loved and trusted for a long time. They get engaged and start planning their wedding..............
............. and then Grian comes back and says he's sorry, that he misses Scar, that he was wrong, and that he doesn't want to be without him. And Scar................... takes him back.
It's-- listen, it's not the best possible outcome! But we're basing heavily on the Life Series Scarian dynamic, which is itself incredibly nuanced and complicated and tragic and a little bit "you're both bad for each other." It's part soulmates, and it's part codependence, and it's partly killing the person you love with your bare hands alone in the desert, and how that guilt ends up haunting you into every other subsequent timeline. Grian's not the best person for Scar as he is, and Scar's not the best person for Grian, but they want to be with each other, and unfortunately that desire often overrides common sense.
As for what happens after that.... we don't know yet! It was a thought experiment we worked through and ultimately realised "oh, it's WAY better for them that the zombies DID happen in the long run, 'cause without them this would be awful." (Not that the zombies are great, but woof......... Scarian, c'mon.) In this version of events, they lose a lot of friends when Scar takes Grian back, and the isolation suits Scar poorly. It takes them a much longer time to work through how to be good for one another. If the zombie apocalypse was good for anything, it was forcing a reckoning of what they wanted and how to get it--the only other option was death. Without that hanging over their heads, it takes Scarian years to reach any sort of resolution, which (no spoilers but) takes TAMN!Scarian a much shorter amount of time to get to.
Hope that answers your question! The 'what ifs' are our favourite, so we love to ramble about them hahaha <3
#asks#anonymous#tamn#also love that you referred to us as bestie HAHA#I know it's in our username but it's so cute to hear used and directed at us#HOPE YOURE HAVING A GREAT DAY TOO!

Sotha sil for the character ask thing to complete the trio (Also your mortal!ayem fic sounds so cool! And would you mind sharing some of those Almalexia themed writing prompts? I love the way you characterise her and the whole tribunal)
plugging this first bc i'm planning to post the first new chapter in several years this week: gratuitous almalexia backstory fanfic. almalexia-themed writing prompts will be at the end but first let's discuss sotha sil
First impression
he was actually my favorite tribunal member at first when i was 18 and new to the fandom :')
Impression now
eso sotha sil isn't real. eso sotha sil isn't canon and eso sotha sil can[t hurt me
Favorite moment
the only canonical eso sotha sil moment i'll acknowledge which is the one where he got kicked out of almalexia's basement and had to move into a nearby cave
Idea for a story
if i ever finish rolecall (a fic about the tribunal post-nerevar's death and pre-ascension) i plan to write out the conversation sotha sil had with almalexia and vivec when he returned and revealed he'd learned how to use kagrenac's tools. which-- hang on this is actually an unpopular opinion let me move onto the next question
Unpopular opinion
most of the fandom seems to have this idea that sotha sil is somehow less guilty than almalexia and vivec in the betrayal of nerevar, when in reality i actually see him as MORE guilty. sotha sil was the only one who knew how to use the tools of kagrenac. almalexia and vivec may have murdered nerevar or agreed to break their oath but they never could have achieved godhood without sotha sil. so it seems like there's this weird belief that sotha sil is the only remorseful tribune or the only one not to blame, but-- he is the ONLY one of them who actually knew how to use the tools. he had the EXCLUSIVE power to make that happen. including almalexia and vivec was mere kindness on his part. the only canonical part of the betrayal we're certain of, the breaking of the oath, is entirely on him.
Favorite relationship
once again it has got to be the tribunal here. but specifically i'm obsessed with his relationship with almalexia-- the fact that they were apparently childhood friends, the fact that he was apparently scared of her, the fact that he remained so close to her throughout his entire life and godhood. i think they were very codependent; they both went through so much shit as mortals i think they just latched onto each other in a bad way, and sotha sil at least knew it would end with one of them dead at the other's hands.
also, fa-nuit-hen seems to have a crush on him? good for sotha sil with whatever hijinks precipitated THAT
Favorite headcanon
that he was disabled and had prosthetic legs as a mortal. in my mind his being disabled influenced both his interest in technology and his extreme desire to make things better for people. related; that his chief character flaw is that he cares too much about people and is driven by empathy to the point where it can overwhelm him and shut him down, hence his repeated chronic retreating from the world
free almalexia story ideas under the cut:
okay so here's just a random list of stuff i've been meaning to write about almalexia that i'll probably never get around to so consider it free game. in no particular order:
the story of almalexia's involvement in resurrecting wulfharth during the akaviri war, and whatever the hell her involvement was there
a conversation between almalexia and heita-meen negotiating the end to argonian slavery, and almalexia's subsequent personal involvement in making that happen
just. almalexia being a war-leader. almalexia showing up in battles to just destroy things. almalexia planning out wars. almalexia scaring the shit out of people who might cause trouble for the dunmer.
relatedly-- mortal almalexia serving as nerevar's general, offering her expertise on the nords to plan battles
the world could always use more nerevar/almalexia stuff ngl. big fan of fics where almalexia gets to scold nerevar for being stupid about something.
a fic about almalexia and nerevar just being like, way too comptitive over a chess game or something. to the point of probable violence
a fic about almalexia talking to nerevar's shrine/grave during the time of the nerevarine prophecy, while getting ready to try and murder his supposed reincarnation
and of course
the conversation in which almalexia kicked sotha sil out of her basement, forcing him to relocate to a nearby cave

Game of Thrones - 53 BRAN VI (pages 549-562)
Bran watches as Robb calls the banners and marches south. Osha insists they're marching the wrong way. Robb makes Bran the Lord of Winterfell before he leaves.
-
He was only a few years younger than Robb; if his brother was almost a man grown, so was he.
Appendix: House Stark- -ROBB, the heir to Winterfell, fourteen years of age -BRANDON, called Bran, seven
I see Sansa's not the only Stark sibling canonically bad at maths. (... hang on, I think we had this discussion previously...)
Hodor hummed tunelessly as he went down hand under hand, Bran bouncing against his back in the wicker seat that Maester Luwin had fashioned for him. Luwin had gotten the idea from the baskets the women used to carry firewood on their backs; after that it had been a simple matter of cutting legholes and attaching some new straps to spread Bran's weight more evenly. It was not as good as riding Dancer, but there were places Dancer could not go, and this did not shame Bran the same way it did when Hodor carried him in his arms like a baby.
Yes! Improvise, adapt, overcome! Maester Luwin returns for his MVP title! I'm really happy with how they're accommodating Bran's disability, not just accepting solutions that are given to them (Tyrion's saddle) but looking for ways to make things easier in general. The fact that this takes care of Bran's mobility and mental health as he adapts to his new conditions is just *chef's kiss*
Although ngl, I did imagine him in one of those baby carry backpacks there for a second.
Actually, what was that description back in one of Bran's first few chapters "In the older parts of the castle, the halls slanted up and down so that you couldn't even be sure which floor you were on." This actually reminded me of one of my local hospitals, because of the slope of the land, the floors are offset in places and there are ramps to accommodate that set into the hallways themselves, so you can get between a few floors by walking in a big 'circuit' rather than using stairs or elevators. If that's how those sections of the castle work, rather than being sloppy/ancient work wearing down and making the floor uneven, that might actually be kinda wheelchair friendly for Bran.
Hodor hated cold water, and would fight like a treed wildcat when threatened with soap, but he would happily immerse himself in the hottest pool and sit for hours, giving a large burp to echo the spring whenever a bubble rose from the murky green depths to break upon the surface.
Hodor is the third head of the dragon, confirmed.
...Sorry, is it too early in the year for a crack take?
All along the benches, his sons and brothers and sworn swords leapt to their feet, grabbing for their steel. Yet, Robb only said a quiet word, and in a snarl and the blink of an eye Lord Umber was on his back, his sword spinning on the floor three feet away and his hand dripping blood where Grey Wind had bitten off two fingers. ... Yet that very night, his brother came to Bran's bed chamber pale and shaken, after the fires had burned low in the Great Hall. "I thought he was going to kill me," Robb confessed. "Did you see the way he threw down Hal, like he was no bigger than Rickon? Gods, I was so scared.-"
Well, you did a good job keeping your head instead of letting all that fear and panic out into public. Some of these men are here to see what they can grab for themselves, are trying to move the fence line and steal a bit extra thinking and hoping Robb's too green to know better. But some of these folks are probably testing him because they're scared. It's one thing to go to war for your liege lord, or for a friend or comrade who you owe your loyalty, but to march under the authority of a boy who has never seen real battle, who might order a slaughter and faint at the sight of blood, who could be a coward who would pretend it was mercy and couldn't make the hard calls and keep as many people alive as possible? People are going to die in war, they all know that, but to risk trusting someone who could order them all into what should have obviously been a trap, that takes some doing. Some of this 'petty heckling' is about assuaging their own fears and making sure they can trust the guy in charge not to get them all killed on a folly.
One wine-sodden taleteller even claimed that Rhaegar Targaryen had returned from the dead and was marshaling a vast horde of ancient heroes on Dragonstone to reclaim his father's throne.
I need someone to tell Stannis that one. And film it. I wanna see how many colours he turns.
Bran: *prays to the old gods on his family's behalf* prayer receptionist old god: oh snap, I dropped my ye old coffee, sis anyone catch that prayer? no? parts if it? okay, I'll... just make my best guess. *Later* prayer receptionist old god: so that... might not have been correct.
It always hurts to see characters reaching out out higher powers and knowing their prayers won't be answered, or they won't be answered the way the want if the are.
"-But, Bran, no man can teach you magic." "The children could," Bran said. "The children of the forest." That reminded him of the promise he had made to Osha in the godswood, so he told Luwin what she had said. The maester listened politely. "The wildling woman could give Old Nan lessons in telling tales, I think," he said when things were done. "I will talk with her again if you like, but it would be best if you did not trouble your brother with the folly.-"
On the one hand, this is frustrating because for a place that likes to tout "the north remembers" they sure are quick to say it's all just made up, and not real history. On the other hand, they really don't have any reason to believe it apart from the words of people like Osha and men who've been isolated on the job so long they're bound to have gone a bit odd.
When the distant cheers had faded to silence and the yard was empty at last, Winterfell seemed desertedand dead. Bran looked around at the faces of those who remained, women and children and old men... and Hodor. The huge stableboy had a lost and frightened look to his face. "Hodor?" he said sadly. "Hodor," Bran agreed, wondering what it meant.
186 points of piercing damage, right to the feels.

Ngl I'm kinda...scared for the new splatfest haha-
You see, I'm knew to splatoon, I've got the game for at least 2 weeks now, which means ti's shall be my first splatfest....EVER.
And I am a fucking dweeb at this game, as hard as I try and as fun as I have, I don't do well under pressure (or competition).
I haven't done a single anarchy battle and I avoid it like the plague, everytime I think of joining one I clam up and and go back to either grizzco or a normal turf war.
But at the same time, I'm super excited because this is my FIRST splatfest EVER and I've been dreaming of joining one since back when splatoon 2 came out!
So, to any veterans of splatoon out there, please, are there any reassurance or tips/advices you can give to this poor, poor little noob who is just filled with anxiety all together.

Heyho, BG Anon back in your asks again. 😎 I'm in the Spooky Place™ and I found the inn. Jaheira is such a badass. She would definitely make me cry irl but I would totally respect that ngl, she's cool like that. Dammon the blacksmith is such a sweetie and should be praised nonstop for his efforts in trying saving our best girl Karlach. If she dies I'll never recover, swear.
Ravens were cool until I got jumped by an unkindness of them while walking about in the Spooky Place™. It gave me war flashbacks of watching The Birds (1963) when I was a kid. It was like 2006, I have no idea why it was playing on tv and I have no idea why my parents let me watch it but it had made me terrified of birds for a while.
My sister asked me why I give our beloved vampire preferential treatment and it gave me the perfect chance to say: "What do you mean I'm biased and don't love all my companions? I love Astarion and all non-Astarions equally." XD
BGGGGG
I literally checked my inbox before bed just in case there was an ask from you! I love Jaheria so much I want her to adopt me. It's too bad I'm playing a chaotic neutral bard, but I think he won her over even if he didn't drink her truth serum.
The fact that Karlach cannot romance Dammon is a crime Larian needs to be held accountable for. Shy craftsman blacksmith pining for brash, beautiful solider?? It writes itself!
I thought the ravens were HILARIOUS. I mowed them all down with Spirit Guardians. They kept running into the field to get to me and insta-dying 😂 (I have not seen The Birds but I know it would scare me because I frighten easily and so I would like to continue to have not seen The Birds)
Listen, Astarion and [looks at smudged writing on hand] Shart, Lazy, and Gill are my best friends. (I am exempting Wyll from this joke because he is a beautiful boy who has done no wrong)
I'm super excited for you to move into the Thorm's areas and how sad and creepy it gets! Make sure you hit moonrise towers before pursuing Kennic though. The game makes it seem like you ought to follow him first (and like get the weapon or weakness of his or whatever) but ignore that. Go check out the tower and surrounding areas before you do the rest, it kicks off the quest line a lot better :D

Yandere Armin?
Never written yandere before so I'm a little scared ngl. I hope you enjoy this, since I've always thought Armin had so much potential as a yandere. Even so, this was very fun to write. I find villains always are, don't you? ;)
I highly suggest this while reading, just to set the mood.
"Please," you whimpered, tears streaking your blotchy skin as you shrunk away from your captor, "please, just let me go home. I won't tell anyone or say anything but please let me leave-"
"I'm sorry love, you know I can't do that. You'll just have to stay here with me!" He finished speaking with a cheery grin on his face, elated at the thought of keeping you as his darling little love forever and ever and ever...
Which never would've been possible if he hadn't realized just how much you needed him.
/
You couldn't tell just how long you'd been inside. After a while, the days had begun to blend together, so you'd stopped trying to keep track. It was hopeless anyway. Armin was smart, clever, and quick. He kept your windows covered for so long that you wondered if he was just going to leave you in the dark, both literally and figuratively, until you broke or escaped.
At the moment, you were closer to breaking than ever.
Still, a part of your mind screamed for you you fight. To run, to get out, to claw and kick and scream and do whatever else it would take to get back to your home in Orvud District. It didn't matter if the rest of your life was hell, none of it did. All you wanted, or so you thought, was to go home.
Armin knew you were lying to yourself. He hated seeing you delude yourself, smart girl that you were, pretending that you could be happier in the miserable life he had saved you from. It was a tragedy. He could see you were so close to being his forever. So pliant and lovely, beautiful and sweet and only his. But for that to fully come to pass, he'd need that stubborn place in your mind to snap, subtle and gently as the breaking of a finger.
Both of you had a plan in place. It was a gamble, a risk, and a bet to see who would emerge victorious. Unfortunately for you, however, even an idiot could see the deck was more than stacked against you. But you had a chance. One that had taken weeks to get your hands on, glimmering with possibility and danger in your hands.
You see, you were no idiot yourself. Sharp and cunning, you were the well respected daughter of a prominent merchant within the walls. From childhood, you grew up around the sharp smiles of higher society, a witness to false promises and loud accusations almost since you could walk. You weren't unkind, just shrewd, astute in your observation of the world. Life outside the walls was a brutal war, your father had said. Inside it, though, was a deadly game.
You wished you'd remembered his words when you'd met Armin.
He'd seduced your mind with easy precision, pretty words and soft laughter drowning your doubt until it was only too easy to make you trust him. But from the moment he'd met you, Armin knew he had to have you. So when you'd come crying to him one night after your father had told you he'd arranged your marriage against your will, he invited you into his home. Told you you could stay as long as you needed. But when you tried to return home two days later, you'd found yourself stuck. No, not stuck.
Captive.
So you learned what made him happy. You let yourself go dumb and pretty for him, still engaging, but not questioning. Little by little, you watched and waited for the time to strike at his heal. He began to leave you alone, trusting you in the house for ten minutes, then twenty, always smiling kindly when he saw you reading in the bedroom you'd begun sharing with him, or napping lazily in a patch of sunlight. He never laid a hand on you, no, never. He could never dream of hurting a hair on you. Especially not when playing with your head was so much more fun.

The door hadn't locked all the way.
That's what you thought to yourself as you lay alone in your bed, turned towards the balcony door with your eyes wide open in the dark. The door wasn't locked.
When you'd realized that outright escape by force wasn't an option, you'd spent hours studying the lock. It gave you something to do, and after a time, Armin had even let you pick one apart for your own amusement. Padding across the wooden floor, you made your movements small and light as possible; the slightest creak could send your captor racing upstairs to catch you red handed. Pulling a finely knit shawl from the back of a chair, you wrapped it tightly around your shoulders as you slipped a pair of shoes on over your bare feet. The night air was cold, late November spilling past the threshold of the room as you gingerly pulled the door open.
After, you wondered if you'd have made it out if you had been quicker. If you hadn't taken so long. But you knew, deep down, that you'd been doomed from the very start.
Your hand hadn't even left the knob when someone else's closed around your neck. The other had your arm pinned behind your back, twisting it sharply in warning when you tried to release the hand on the door.
"I wouldn't recommend that, love. Don't forget who the soldier is here."
Stifling a sob, you were wrenched back inside. The door was still open, the last hope you had just out of your reach as you trashed wildly against his hold. It really didn't matter. He was deceptively strong, and in a moment had you on the floor, backed into a corner and cowering like a mouse. He had no weapon, but the look in his eyes scared you senseless, manic and crazed as he bore down on you.
"Do you really think, for one second," he whispered, hands holding your shoulders in a vice grip as you clenched your eyes shut, "that there is anything out there for you? That your father won't just make you marry some old bastard in a glorified auction the second you return home? Come now, y/n, you're smarter than that."
"Or maybe," he continued, "you aren't. After all I thought it was perfectly clear I was baiting you. This was an experiment of sorts, and I'm afraid to say you failed miserably."
At this, you sobbed harder, fear rushing through you at the thought of what he would do to you. There was no one who knew where you were, no one around who even knew who you were. Even if you could get out, you knew Armin had connections. You'd heard rumors that he'd trained alongside the damn queen of the walls, for god's sake. He could literally kill you and the only one who'd know anything about it would be Armin himself. Besides, he was right. Nothing would change if you made it home. Life hadn't even felt worth living until you met him. Why should that change after?
"Oh no, darling, I'd never even think about hurting you," he murmured. Wrapping his arms around your cold body, he brought you into his chest as you cried, a smile growing on his lips in the dark. "I'm the only one who can protect you, don't you see? As long as you're with me, you'll be safe and loved like you never could be back home."
He kissed the top of your head gently as you wore yourself out, exhaustion taking over your mind as you finally relaxed into him.
"And after all," he said, making you meet his eyes as he spoke gently," doesn't that sound lovely?"
The worst thing about it all is you knew exactly what you were sacrificing when you answered, eyes shining with tears bright as stars in the warm darkness.
"It really, really does."
