Gold Looks Good on Us

First post of the account and year, wOAH! So lets get some foundation set down. My name is Stan, I have been a fucking obsessive rat over Minecraft roleplay for the longest time, since I was like... ew a child. But there was alway some stuff that just never sat right with me, things I wish were expanded on, and choices that I wish could change. The fact that MCD was never fully finished will always leave a void in my heart, but we must press on, bitches. So I'm writing an Alternate Universe of MCD on AO3 called "Gold Looks Good on Us". It's primarily focused on Garroth if he decided to try to go marry Nicole, and what would've happened if she still faked her death. The 15 year time-skip happens, but the narrative is within the time that had been skipped instead of skipping the time. The biggest change is that the Shadow Knight Takeover happens during the time skip. Zane is still not a great person, but many of his evils after season 1, and some in season 1 are given to Zenix because he deserves the right to be evil, man. Zenix and Zane work together for a bit, Zenix seals away Katelyn, Emmalyn, and Aphmau into the Irene dimension because he was trying to get Aaron so he could kill that mother fucker and start the SK Takeover. He does so, and Laurance gets a lot of trauma, thanks to Gene. Shadow Knights are distributed around the Ru'aun region and each lord has Shadow Knight adivising them. The goal is to take over the lord and have them turn or had the SK incharge later. Laurance decides to manipulate his way into O'Khasis and Gene gets sent to Scaleswind. So Uncle Gene happens, Garroth gets fucking manipulated, and Zane gets religious oppression and decides to cope by drinking. I hope this sounds cool and interesting, once I actually write the first chapter, give it a read if you're interested. Or don't, I can't make you, lmao.

“You’re so Curly-coded :3”

The internet either wants me dead, violated, or loves me, there is no in-between. Either a compliment or insult depending on how you interpret the character, either way you’re exploding.

A thing about spy characters (and maybe especially likable spy characters that the audience is rooting for) I’ve found is that a surprising number of people have a hard time reading manipulation as manipulation unless it is framed as wholly insincere. Like just because somebody means some or all of what they say does not mean they are not choosing their words and manner in an extremely calculated way to get something they want.

Do you think Cassius haunts Caesar's line ?

yeah, the escalating paranoia about conspiracies is really revealing (especially when you reach Caligula and the Cassius Incident) but I also think Cassius and his legacy haunts any tyrant. Caesar just happened to be the guy who climbed his way to the top in a place where Cassius could do something about it

Throws a hunk of copper, a non magnetic metal, at you

[Lifting a hand casually, the Master of Magnetism suspends the copper in the air with ease.]

Copper is not ferromagnetic - meaning a material is strongly attracted to magnetic fields, and can be permanently magnetized - it is diamagnetic - meaning it is repelled by them, often in such a way it is imperceivable under normal conditions. Such-as: the reputation.

[With a tense of his fingers, the hunk of copper sparks, then goes inert and falls into the palm of his hand.]

A simple mistake, really... but one that has led to the deaths of many-a-fool by my hand. I am trying to do better these days, so I'll leave you with your life.

sometimes I want to talk about the similarities between Crimson Peak (2015) and Suspiria (2018) but then I get so emotionally overwhelmed that I black out

tumblr frequently suggests this account with the Yotsuba icon when you look at my blog but that's only because the two of us were promoted to users making new accounts at the same time so we have 3-4k bot followers in common. so like our blogs are not organically connected by the same group of users, tumblr. you did that.

came home at 8:45 from work and 🌸 was already fast asleep fully dressed on the bed phone in hand completely unresponsive to sound including name-calling and loud floor creaks

probably they were planning to get more work done this evening but i'm going to sabotage that by turning their light off and ordering takeout so i don't make any cooking noises to wake them up, hopefully causing them to get up to a full 12 hours of sleep for what i think would be the first time in two and a half years

Feeling evil because I thought about getting my coworkers “Happy Holidays” cards for December with $20 shoved in each and a little baked treat (custom bakery order).

Obviously in December. It’s happy holidays because well, idk everyone’s religious affiliations (if any) and I don’t wanna ask invasive questions.
