read mouthwashing tvtropes page in your honor. I like that there’s not only an achievement for killing jimmy 10 times but it’s called the good ending

Thank you for looking and sorry for my brain worms. It really is the good ending. That guy needed to GO

Is it polyamory if one of the people's possessed?

Not when the possessing entity is a board certified hater

okay asking on reddit and the minecraft forum seems to be getting me nowhere so...where on earth do i turn to to ask for help about where i'm stuck with this stupid game and creating a resource pack for it? i'm losing my marbles

(it's only been a few days since i posted my question in both of those places but i haven't had a response so. the more places i ask the better the chances i'll get an answer, right???)

I don't understand why Jackie's team-mates are envious(jealous) of her, .Jackie is just a normal girl, what is there to envy?

an age-old question about popularity, anon!

jackie being a normal girl is part of it, i'd imagine. from the outside jackie has everything that a teen girl is supposed to want or need: wealthy parents, trendy clothes, a long-term boyfriend (break ups notwithstanding), she's pretty, and athletic, popular (she would have won prom queen), gets decent grades (though good or great grades seems more likely since we know she's not the best athlete on the team), has a loyal best friend, and has a leadership role in her chosen club. from the outside, what isn't there to envy about jackie?

especially when you look at her teammates, most of whom have something "wrong" with them compared to the above list. natalie has abusive and neglectful parents and does drugs to cope with her trauma, while jackie barely seems to drink. misty is an outsider who can't connect with anyone, but jackie is popular and a leader and so good at it that she even makes misty feel welcome. shauna struggles to assert herself and go after what she wants, but jackie tells her what to wear and drink and who to date without a second thought. taissa and van are gay women in the 90s, who either weren't out pre-crash (implied) or at the very least weren't dating anyone, and so the ease with which jackie and jeff got together and broke up on repeat must have been so frustrating to watch. lottie falls into many of the same categories as jackie, but while jackie's parents fawn over everything she says and does, lottie eats her meals alone at home and her father "shows love" with jets that take her miles away from him.

we talk about jackie being doomed by the narrative, and she totally is. but she's not just doomed to death; she's doomed to be two-dimensional. yellowjackets is a story about the relationship between a girl and her trauma, and you can't have a relationship when you're dead. like nat says, she's the "lucky one" because she gets to become a symbol (of rules, or social mores, of normalcy and safety) for the rest, instead of struggling alongside them. and what need does a symbol have of complexity? my first paragraph makes a series of assumptions about jackie, any of which could be false. we get glimpses here and there of jackie having feelings and thoughts and concerns that don't align with the things that make her someone to envy, but we don't know. we won't ever know in a way that matters to jackie. anything we learn now will be used to tell us something about the girls who are still alive, because jackie's only real function is to be fodder for them.

What is the best drink?

Overall in the world? Gotta be water. That shit goes crazy hard AND it's the basis of every other drink so. Really there's no competition

What would yandere liet be like?

I was thinking a submissive type yandere.

He is very loyal to his love interest in an unhealthy way, wants to be useful and make them happy, even if that means being injured, killing or dying for them. He'd do anything that is asked of him.

Tossing around the idea that he is very timid and had been bullied for being poor most of his life. So, he is a nervous, introverted loner. Frumpy clothes and overgrown hair that normally covers his face.

The AU takes place at a university.

The protagonist of the sim is nice to Tolys, which isn't something he is used to, and he falls for them. Stopped some bullies from picking on him, gave him - idk, a pencil that he treasures more than his own life. Possibly, the player's dorm roommate.

He isn't dangerous, per say, unless his crush tells him to attack someone.

🪐 🥤 🧩

🪐 ⇢ name three good things going on in your life right now

oooh okay 1) earlier this year at the age of 40mumble, i was able to, for the first time, afford a new vehicle that i wanted. my truck's name is Frank and he's a Bronco and he's red and i've already fucked up the housing around the skid plate by doing dumb shit in the desert. it's true love.

2) yes there are many aggravations, but i truly deeply love the organization i work for. we have an important mission, i work with some of the absolute best people i've ever known, and i have a sign on my office door that says COME BACK WITH A WARRANT.

3) i am writing again! i hadn't really for a long time, except for some short bits here and there, but now i am actively engaged in a project that i can see and feel coming to fruition and damn it's good to be back.

🥤 ⇢ recommend an author or fanfic you love

i don't know if indigostohelit is on tumblr but they have a narcos fic that i reread over and over like a religious text. the book of saint javier peña, idk. it's just so perfect. when i commented on the fic after reading it the first time i said thank you for creating this delicious dark dream and that kind of says it all.

🧩 ⇢ what will make you click away from a fanfiction immediately?

i recently unsubscribed from a WIP that i was really digging because i found out the writer was a zionist, but that's probably not what this question is asking.

uhhh it's mostly subjective characterization stuff that kills a fic for me, but there's a thing that i am not sure i can describe where the opening sentence(s) have this. particular syntax and cadence? it's got a very juvenile feel to it. like something taught in elementary school, this is how you write the opening of a story. and make sure you state the pov character's full government name so there's no question who the story is about. this is not a good description, but it's a really deep personal peeve and i will backbutton instantly.

I must say that the "all the bells say" completely consumed my brain for the last month and I haven't been able to think about anything else. Your writing is sooo good and the way you understand the characters and the world makes it such an enjoyable and enthralling read from start to finish. Everytime I see an update I get so happy but also sad at the same time because it means its going to end one day. I just love it completely and I truly think this is one of the best portrayals of Link and Zelda that I have seen in a long time. Keep up the great work and take all the time you need to rest and finish this masterpiece!

P.S. Also I was wondering is there any playlist for the fic by any chance? Thank you so much!!

god thank you so much for this ask - it really really means a lot to me and it put a huge smile on my face. and thank you for telling me that i should take all the time i need to finish it - i know i'm slow with the updates but that's because i wanna make sure that i stick the landing each time y'know. ♥️

and yes! there is a playlist for the fic. you can find it here on youtube.

again thank you so much for such a kind comment. <3

[CUP PONG] - From across the dimly lit table, Navia flashes her opponent a wide grin. If their previous encounters are any indication, this will be the nation's least eventful game in perhaps ever. Not that she minds, frankly. The little ball twirls between her fingers as she lines up her shot and-

-it bounces harmlessly to the floor.

"Seems my luck hasn't changed since our last game, Mr. Jing Yuan."

"Quite the contrary. I recall your aim being rather precise last time we met." Tossing the small ball upwards, it lands gently in his palm. As Navia whiffs her shot, a contemplative shake of his head. "Or perhaps, you've given it to someone else..."

As he takes aim, his eyes narrow. The ball whistles as it soars through the air, and eventually, a gentle plunk as it lands easily into cup. A smirk, as a few more balls are shot and land into the cups of Fonta. "Such as myself. Drink are on me, lady Navia." After succeeding in 4 shots, he misses his 5th, and cracks his knuckles. Already off to a great start.

BIG ROBOT GUN GAME VERY FAST, VERY FUN

I'm normally absolute dogshit at parkour in video games of any kind, but somehow with Titanfall 2 it's not as tricky. maybe cause it's designed around it, I dunno, but ya girl 100% Not Bad at pilot parkour

ya girl is truly experiencing the fun chaos that is titanfall 2 multiplayer

ive played a few matches way back when, after i completed the campaign for the first time around on xbox, years ago

i decided to pick it up again on PC, played the campaign a second time, and didnt touch the game again after that, not for a long time

but these past couple of weeks ive been playing attrition in mp and it's been a blast
