WHO THE FUCK IS PLAYING KIRBY AND THE AMAZING MIRROR WITH ME

Fe Aspec Week Day 2: Friendship

An indulgent piece for today!!!! :') It's no secret the trio's friendship has always had a really special place in my heart, and I've been grateful for the taste of acceptance and contentment it brought me during (and long after) I played the game. To see them find the most caring and complete friendship in each other was truly inspiring.

Here's to all of us finding the people that make us "never long for companionship throughout the rest of our days" <3

the difference that offering a child kindness and compassion can make... one of the kiddos was crying the other morning missing her mom. Sobbing crying. and i talked to her and she wasn't able to say very much from crying so hard but confirmed that she knew her mom was going to be back and it was going to be a good day and it was going to be alright but she was just inconsolable. and we did some good breaths together but she just couldn't get her breathing under control. so for like ten minutes i just had her drink some water and gave her a hug and sat with her while she cried until we were going off to the next activity and she had to go with different counselors. and by then she'd calmed down a little but was still sniffling and obviously upset but the important part is that even though i didn't even get her to stop crying anytime i saw that little girl the rest of that day and now throughout the rest of the Week after just sitting with her and offering some compassion i see her notice me as she goes by and she always looks right at me and smiles and gives me a little wave when i say hi. like we haven't had any other conversations since then but i can see the way that she recognizes me now. i'm not her favorite counselor i haven't spent more than twenty minutes with her tops but that little girl takes the time to seek out my acknowledgement cause i showed that i care about her.... y'know... cause i was gentle with her and that meant something to her... all to say. it doesn't matter if you have extended interactions with kids. it really doesn't. small things can make such a huge impact on children and i really sincerely think it's so important to show them kindness... help them up when they fall. give them a hug. sit with them while they cry. cause even if it doesn't Fix things even if you don't solve the problem or do anything really materially Helpful you will have shown that child that people care about them. and they notice... they remember... they do...

Just watched a scary movie at the theater and now I'm imagining Foul Legacy holding me to "protect" me (all while Childe is teasing me because I fully admit to being a wimp-)

not gonna lie, i think you and Foul Legacy might be clinging to each other because he also hates being startled

yes, Legacy hugs you tight and lets you bury your face in his fluff- but he also hides in your hair so he doesn't have to watch the screen. whenever there's a loud noise or a jumpscare his fur suddenly poofs up like a startled cat!! he doesn't like watching scary things, yet he can't look away, his crystalline eye wide in anticipation- he always wants to find out how the story concludes, no matter how frightening. but if you're extremely scared, then his own fear dissipates a little, replaced by protectiveness as he hugs you close and purrs reassuringly, the soothing sound helping your jumpiness ease a little

Legacy will hold you particularly tightly for a few nights after that- or if you don't feel safe in your bed, he'll invite you to snuggle down in his blanket nest, your ear pressed against his chest so you can hear each of his deep breaths. if you're alright with it, he'll partially lay on top of you, acting like a warm weighted moth blankets and grounding you to reality if you're frightened. you're not the only one who's a little on edge for the next few days- Legacy jumps and starts at any sudden sound, fur and hair ruffling into a cloud of fuzz that you have to carefully brush back down again. he'll nuzzle against you, chittering insistently like he's protecting you, but really you're both protecting each other from your overactive imaginations

Childe, on the other hand, thinks it's hilarious, and starts dying of laughter when you tell him how jumpy his Abyssal side can be

oughhhhh thinks about felix and ted from kindergarten 2.......

[cookinguptales]

pmdd has you crying in bed like "and the fact that I cry for like three days every month is another reason why no one will ever love me!!!"

patently ridiculous illness

I was wondering if you’d ever thought about a crossover between Silent Hill and Assassin’s Creed. Like, what if there is some Isu tech under the town, something that the people are somewhat aware of and have an idea of how to use which leads to them making Alessa.

She’s like Desmond, high percentage Isu DNA without being sage level. The monsters and warping of the perception of reality is a side effect of what the machine was supposed to do, which is a failed experiment to essentially rebirth the Isu after the flare. Alessa can use it, that’s how she becomes Cheryl and then Heather.

Like, I don’t know what you could really do with it. Maybe have whatever they were trying to summon be an Isu that was going to overwrite Alessa in a similar way to how being a sage would work. Or maybe they just don’t know what it’s doing and keep accidentally bothering the Reader who told Alessa how and when to escape.

Mostly I just thought it might be funny to play around with considering some of the silly endings in the Silent Hill series.

So we’ll focus on the Silent Hill aspect for this idea and, of course, we’ll be making use of the lore lightly for this one.

How about instead of some kind of an Isu tech, a temple is actually underneath Silent Hill?

We’ll place the temple underneath what would later be known as Old Silent Hill district/area with the Balkan Church being the actual center of the temple underneath.

That’s why the Order (no, not the Templars, the cult in Silent Hill) pay close attention to Midwich Elementary School. That school is part of Old Silent Hill and so the Order believes that it is part of the ‘center’ of the house of their god.

The temple itself is in ruins and the Isu tech that had been placed there for experimentation had been damaged.

Slowly but surely seeping through everything, the soil, the air… the water…

The device was one of the failed projects to save the Isus from destruction. To be ‘reborn’ in a new body if they die.

There were two problems with this though:

1) The materials necessary for the new body would not be enough for number of Isus expected to die when the Solar Flare hits

2) The only way for the device to revive someone with all their memories intact (because what use was it to be given new life when they don’t have any memories of their previous life?), the device had to always record every single memory and thought of every Isus.

1 was a major problem that led to the shelving of the project. 2, on the other hand, was being tested in a smaller scale.

An area of which the device would record every single thing.

However, when the device was damaged during the Solar Flare and subsequent destruction of the temple/facility, the device began to record everything with Isu DNA.

And humans, on an average, have 0.0002% to 0.0005% of Isu DNA. It should be inconsequential but not to the device.

It still counted.

And that device didn’t just stop at recording memories and thoughts, it continued to record even dreams.

… and nightmares.

.

Now, here’s where we decide what route we go for:

Route 1: All the monsters and nightmares are real in Silent Hill

In this route, we’ll set up the device to have a learning AI that has been trying to fix major problem 1. But because it was damaged, the AI decided that ‘transforming’ the living beings in Silent Hill to bodies that can withstand the Solar Flare would be a better alternative. Of course, it has to make sure the memories are there but that only ends up mutating the bodies even further because it can no longer distinguish between memories and nightmares/dreams.

Route 2: The monsters and nightmares are all inside their heads

In this route, the device is the one making the nightmares feel too real for everyone. This is not the intended purpose and is actually because the device has been damaged too much at this point that it is ‘changing’ the brain chemistry and neurons of those who stay in Silent Hill.

Regardless of which route we take, the AI governing the device is the god the cult worships, Alessa was created with enough Isu genes that she was seen as an 'admin' by some kind (but trying to telepathically connect with her caused her to break), and Desmond has been reincarnated as Mira.

Hello! Lately I've been fighting to make sure I won't be getting sick (sadly taking a day off cause tomorrow is a busy day for Valentine's day)

However I wanted to update you guys on the 100th Followers Celebration!

We're on the coloring stage for the 1st part and everything is going ok! Grim is"fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine" cats always land on their feet :)... maybe

Anyway! This lil baby will be finished up soon so I can get started on the 2nd part of the Celebration!!!

[undying-lilies]

me: man, I wish Cal and Kata got more canon interactions. I don't know what their dynamic would be like now 😔

me: hold up. since when has THAT stopped me

me: proceeds to draw them, make a playlist, and plan an entire fic about them

[breadedsinner]

Thinking about how I might have felt about Liara if, during the confrontation on Ilium regarding her part in Shepard's resurrection, she said something more along the lines of, "You're too important to die," rather than, "I couldn't let you go,".

7, 18 and 25! for the favorites ask game :3

Ask Game

7 - quote?

"art is not about capturing PERFECTION it is about capturing HONESTY OF A MOMENT. because perfection does not exist but raw honesty and connection to this ever passing timeline does. we are here grabbing life out of the stream and holding it in our hands to cry out I WAS HERE" - Chuck Tingle [Original post here]

So one of my frustrations with my creative writing classes in college was that there was this expectation that we should and want to seek perfection in our writing, and I just didn't. I wanted to tell a story, and telling it in the most perfect technical way didn't matter to me- it still doesn't tbh. So I really vibed with this paragraph of that post in particular

18 - constellation?

Orion! He's the first constellation I learned to find in the sky, and still the only one I can find consistently lol

25 - kind of candy?

Cadbury crème eggs! One of the reasons why Easter has the best candy selection of the year imo. I always tried to save them for last when eating my Easter candy as a kid, but I was not always successful. You just can't go wrong with a sweet creme surrounded by milk chocolate ya know?

9, 14, and 19 for the My Chemical Romance 2022-2023 Ask Game :)

9. Favorite drum quote?

oh god its a tie between so many. SIT STAY BEG was insane and i might have to go with her. UNKILLABLE/S does make me wanna cry though so shes up there

14. Worst discourse to have come out of the tour?

people genuinely unironically arguing that theyre never coming back and are dead forever despite multiple blatant suggestions that theres music in the works and direct statements that they plan to continue touring at least to hit the countries they couldnt get to in the first wave of the tour. guys gerard SAID that touring was gonna keep happening please calm down stop yoko onoing LS Dunes <- probs not the actual worst discourse but its the one i see the most so its most on my mind. "is the metaman character endorsing or promoting facebook" might be my favorite because i cant think of a funnier concept than gerard way getting a meta sponsorship and promoting them like THAT!

19. Top stage banter moment?

oh god this ones impossible. every time gerard spoke i wanted to cry. I think it has to be every time they spoke at firefly but especially the planetary preamble and "he LOVES SPORTS!!!!! and he LOVES CLOTHES!!!!!"

[takaska]

12 and 29!!!!!!!!!!!

12. three favourite songs from video games Leaving Earth from Mass Effect 3 is actually the first thing I ever saved as a draft on this site; so I could find it later lmao Nightsong by Neal Acree has been a favorite of mine since I was... probably 9 or 10? Whenever I first heard it lmao The Child You Were by Frances Aravel is a current favorite; from the game I Was A Teenage Exocolonist (god I could rant for ages...)

29. three songs that influenced you most (some songs change or save lives) BYOB by System of a Down was the first song of theirs I'd heard; and they wound up helping to shape A Lot of my political ideals Somewhere I Belong by Linkin Park was one of the first songs I ever recognized seeing myself in, feeling like I never belonged sucked so bad, but... seeing where they got despite their feelings? it meant a lot to me, then and now. Life Is Beautiful by Sixx AM (as well as most of the band's discography tbh) came to me when I needed it most- in highschool lmao. The concept that despite the pain, life is worth living, is something I've fought to keep alive in me

[heartbreakprincewille]

When your favorite cousin also loves Taylor Swift LIKE SIR JUST ADOPT ME AT THIS POINT

[astrxealis]

being someone who started xiv w 5.3 (basically! though i caught up with everything with 5.5) man all the changed in xiv since then (like the earliest dungeons being changed, the ending of 2.0 with the fights being made to be better) kinda make me sad because i am a sentimental person but also it really has improved the game even if i do miss the past, however uh. worse it may have been! also because my friends who get into ffxiv will never be able to experience what i have and as time goes on that will continue to happen, and then new players as well... so yeah. feeling this way esp with regard to cape westwind the hardest fight in game T___T
