thank you for your request! fem, 1.4k

Peeling Amy’s grapes is a repetitive, calming task. You press your nail to the top of the grape where the stalk had been, carving away a sliver of the fruit as you pinch the skin and pull. It comes away in small, triangular pieces that you put in the bowl on your lap. 

You put the naked grape in Amy’s hand. They’re seedless, so all she has to do is chew. 

“Thank you,” she says, distracted by the TV. 

“You’re welcome.” You move to another grape. 

You’re sitting together on the couch in Spencer’s apartment. Spencer sits at the dining table across the way, writing a letter, his eyebrows furrowed in concentration. Bright afternoon sunlight ebbs in through the window behind the kitchen sink to kiss his arms and illuminate his workspace, a beam of it catching his arm, his fine hairs like strands of gold. 

“Spence?”

“Yeah?” 

“Are we still going to the library?” 

“Yeah…” His writing gets very fast. He finishes it off with a smile and a resounding period, picking the paper up and folding it in a clean half. “I can post my letter at the same time.” 

You watch him give his hair a vigorous scratching as he stands. “I’m gonna go get a sweater,” he says, making for his bedroom. 

You follow him until he’s gone. Amy hums, kid-talk for please pay attention to me. 

“Oh, sorry. Forgot your grapes.” 

“Why do you look at him like that?” 

You smile shyly. “Uh, like what?” 

Her brown eyes widen as her eyebrows pinch together. “I don’t know. You looked at him for a long time.” 

“I guess I like looking at him, ‘cos I really like him. You’re beautiful because of so many things, but your dad is part of the reason. He’s beautiful, so you’re beautiful.” 

She wrinkles her nose, but she’s smiling. “You really like him?” she whispers. 

“Of course I do,” you whisper back, “he’s my boyfriend.” 

Amy winces hard. “What?” she asks. 

She’s suddenly and emphatically incredulous. You take her hand, but she takes it right back and stands up on the couch. She gives you a weird look as she backs away, sitting heavily on the armrest. “He’s your boyfriend?” 

“Why do you think I’m always here these days?” 

You know you’ve said the complete wrong thing the moment it leaves your mouth. You’re honestly shocked she didn’t know; Amy is a very smart little girl, and you were under the impression she knew about you and her father being a couple. But she’s also just a little girl, with big feelings. 

“I thought you were here to see me,” she says softly. 

You push the bowl of grapes across the coffee table, remorseful. “Amy, I’m sorry. I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it like that. I come here to see you, too, of course I do, I love spending time with you.” 

Her eyes fill with tears. She’s not a crocodile crier, at least not when you’re around. You know these to be the genuine deal, and that makes it much worse for you. 

“Babe, I’m sorry! I really didn’t mean it like that, I promise. I’m here to see you, too, it’s not just to see your dad.” 

“Because we’re best friends,” she says. 

“Of course we are.” You open your hands. “Of course.” 

She finally takes your hands, despite her tears. Her face has turned dark with a hot flush, embarrassment twisting her lips into an expression that turns your heart. 

“I’m sorry for what I said,” you whisper. “Can you forgive me? You’re so important to me, Amanda.” 

Spencer appears behind her looking like a deer caught in bright headlights. You ignore him, giving Amy’s fingers a rolling squeeze. 

“I thought we were best friends– and– and–” She sucks in a shaky breath as a fresh crest of tears fall. “I thought you were here to see me.” 

“I am here to see you.” 

You’ve done loads of things with Amy without Spencer’s involvement. If he sleeps in, you and Amy watch cartoons together in your pyjamas eating breakfast burritos. You’ve babysat her on short notice, you had her for a sleepover once so he could give a talk in Michigan. You and Amy do tons of things without her father, like eating peeled grapes, and jigsaw puzzles while he reads, and girl talk. You cuddle. 

Poor girl. 

“Amy, I love you.” 

“You do?” 

“So much!” You wipe the tears from her chin. 

“I didn’t know that– that dad was your boyfriend,” she says bashfully. 

“Me and your dad started as best friends, that’s why. He’s my second bestest friend ever.” 

“Who’s number one?” she asks. 

You poke her chest gently. “Who do you think?” 

She nods and looks down. She wipes her cheeks, and that’s what upsets you the most in the whole ordeal. Her hands look small and uncoordinated. 

“You okay, angel?” Spencer asks, coming up from behind to hug her. 

“Sorry,” she says. 

“It’s okay. Crying is okay,” he murmurs. “What happened?” 

“I didn’t know you were boyfriend and girlfriend.” 

“I’m sorry, I thought you knew,” Spencer says, giving her arm a soft up and down, “when I told you we were dating I should’ve been more clear about what that means. I’m very sorry we confused you.” 

“It’s good!” she says, sniffling, pressing a little sob into Spencer’s chest. 

You bite your cheek. You really hadn’t meant to do this to her, just she’s as empathetic as her father. She’s a bubbling mess against him. 

You look at Spencer. It’s your fault, you misspoke, and you’re asking him to save you as a kindness. 

“What’s making you cry, sweetheart?” he whispers, pulling her right into his chest. 

“I just wanted to be her best friend.” 

“You are,” he whispers, nose against her temple, “I might be her boyfriend, but you think she likes me so much she’s here every single weekend? No way. She sees me every day at work, she doesn’t need to come over if all she wants to do is see me. But you know who she doesn’t see at work?” 

“Me…” 

“Exactly. She comes here every weekend to be with you, so we can all be together. Okay?” 

“Okay,” she says, taking in another shaky breath. 

“Are you crying because you’re still upset, or because it’s just a feeling?” he asks softly, slowly. “It’s okay if you’re still sad, but maybe we need to have some water?” 

“Okay,” she says, stretching it into one big cry. 

“Could I give you a hug?” you ask. You’re lost. 

She nods. Spencer says, “Okay, you guys hug and I’ll go get my Amy a glass of water.” 

You fold Amy into an embrace carefully. She’s heavy with her upset but she wants the hug, her arms at your sides as she rubs her nose against your shoulder. “Amy,” You say, taking a pause to brush her hair from her warm neck, “I’m sorry, angel. I really am. I didn’t mean to upset you.” 

She sounds just like her dad as she replies. “I didn’t mean to cry.” 

“Well, that’s okay! If I thought you didn’t want to be my friend either I would be just as upset.” 

“You would?” 

“Amy, do you know how much I love seeing you? I would sit here and watch TV and peel grapes with you every day of the week, I’d love to…” You hope Spencer won’t mind what you’re about to suggest. “In fact, maybe you and I need to do more things together, what do you think? When was the last time we went to Penny’s Ice Cream Parlour?” 

She looks up at you with love and apt suspicion. “You just want me to feel better.” 

“Of course I do. I should be allowed to take my favourite girl for ice cream, right?” 

Spencer hesitates in the kitchen with the fairy glass half full. You’re stroking Amy’s hair away from her neck, so sorry, and so lovely. He couldn’t want anything more in life than Amy, but if he got to choose, he would love to have you, and to have you treat her as you are now, nothing but affection in your touch as you soothe her overstimulation. “We can go alone?” Amy asks. 

“Sure, bubby, we can go just you and me. Banana splits?” 

Spencer loves her, but he loves ice cream, too. “Wait, why can’t I come?”

the one where Y/n and Lando used to hookup and then fell out... or did they?

lowkey inspired by the interview where Oscar talks about spending time with his gf and Lando goes "awww" cus it got my brain making up scenarios

yourusername Maybe I was too much but you could've been more and we both know it

yourfriend1 Situationship survivor 💔

username1 Ah, she's posting half naked pics means they're done

yourfriend2 Girl I didn't cry that much over a 3 years long relationship

↳yourusername I'm not crying lmao

yourfriend2 We need to go on a girls trip

yourfriend1 I second this!!

username2 Lando's loss tbh

username3 Not Carlos nonchalantly in the likes 👀

↳username4 I can't believe he would take Lando's leftovers

username5 You two can chill, Y/n and Carlos have been friends, they're not gonna end it because of a failed situationship

username3 Exactly! Maybe they'll become something more...

username5 Carlos is Lando's best friend, he wouldn't do it to him

username3 I mean it's not like Y/n was his gf or anything, they were just hooking up

username5 Yeah maybe also say it was her fault she caught feelings after he did all the things mentioned on the 2nd pic

username6 How could he not wanna make it official with HER?

↳username4 He's rich and famous, he can have 10 girls like her if he wanted to

username7 It makes me feel better about being in a situationship myself knowing Y/n also went through it

↳yourusername Girl it's a sign to leave him, don't waste your time

username7 It's just for the plot 🤭

yourusername NOT worth it

username8 Stay strong, I promise it gets better and one day you'll find someone who'll truly care about you

↳yourusername Already did ❤️ @/yourfriend1 @/yourfriend2

username9 Well, I guess a relationship was a bit too much for little Lando Norris

landonorris Catching little feelings, thought we had arrangements

view all comments

username1 HOW DARE HE????

↳username2 I guess men just have the audacity 🥲

yourfriend1 When you act like you're in a relationship with her so she thinks you wanna be in a relationship with her 🙄

↳username3 That's Y/n's best friend right there 😭

maxfewtrell Drunk Lando is the worst Lando I've ever had to deal with

↳landonorris we both know that's a lie cmon

angryginge13 I forgot how fun it is to go out with you

↳maxfewtrell I swear something got into him lately, like sure he always loved to party but have you seen how drunk he was?

angryginge13 tbh I barely remember that night lol

username4 AHA so Lando is also going through it

username5 as 👏 he 👏 should 👏

username6 What's wrong with men these days? All I see are situationships, fwbs, ons, what happened to feelings? What happened to love?

↳username7 I guess dating apps messed up our perception of relationships

username6 This is sad.

username8 Well, at least Y/n isn't out getting drunk

↳username9 We can't be sure, we know all she wants us to know, her life can be totally different than what she shows on social media

username10 They had arrangements as he said, it's her fault she fell in love

↳yourfriend1 Oh will you all just shut up?

username10 Someone's mad lol

username11 So many people idolizing Lando just because he can drive a fast car in circles but in reality he's just your average brit in his 20s with commitment issues

↳username12 He's still young, he doesn't have to get in a serious relationship if he doesn't want to

username11 But it was wrong of him to lead Y/n on

username12 Just as someone said already - not his fault that she caught feelings. These typa things aren't for everyone. Or maybe she was hoping he'll fall in love or something

username11 Yeah? How is it that men these days want the benefits of a relationship without the responsibilities?

username12 Did he force her into it? Nope. She could've said no it's not my thing bye. But she didn't. She stayed with him

username11 If you wanna have sex without commitment just pay for it, it's still a thing. You can't have stuff like this for free, at the cost of another person's feelings

A month later

yourfriend1 We're not stupid, we're sillymates

yourusername Fuck soulmates when you can have sillymates

yourfriend2 Stupid choices were made tho

yourusername Neither of you stopped me lmao

carlossainz55 Wasn't it a little too cold to sit on the balcony like this?

↳yourusername The wine warmed us up!!

carlossainz55 Text me if you're ever curious about other ways to warm yourself up *this comment has been deleted*

carlossainz55 Good to know you're having fun!🍷

username3 Carlos, everyone saw that comment you deleted...

username2 Where's the person who said Carlos wouldn't do that to Lando? WHERE?!

username4 Y/n should post to the song enough for you, particularly this part "cause someday I'll be everything to somebody else"

↳username5 Ngl I feel like most Olivia's songs would fit her situation right now

maxfewtrell That looks familiar...

↳username5 Nah boy, get the hell out of this comment section

username6 Wait, let him speak, maybe he has new information

username7 I need to know what stupid choices is Y/n talking about and what Max means 😭

charles_leclerc Ice ice baby 😂❄️

maxfewtrell The gossip pages gonna love this one

↳username1 So that's what Max meant when he said it looked familiar

username2 I'll wait for further explanation 😶

username3 I refuse to believe Y/n went through all the heartbreak just to hook up with him again in Finland

↳username4 Well, she liked this post so...

username3 She got the Stockholm syndrome or what? 😭

username5 At this point she deserves this

username6 @/yourusername I am very disappointed in your actions

↳username3 Bro casually tagging Y/n like she's gonna answer

↳username3 Btw it's not confirmed that they hooked up again

username7 Pls don't break her heart again

username8 I get a little heart attack every time Lando posts

username9 Guys it doesn't make sense, Y/n wouldn't go to Finland with Lando AND with her girls

↳username2 What if they went there separately and just happened to run into each other?

username9 Yeah, because there's no other places to go skiing. Someone had to arrange it or something, it cannot be a coincidence

username2 Look, the universe works in weird ways, do you know the invisible string theory?

username9 Oh no you're one of these people? 🤡

username2 All I'm saying is to me they seem like 'right people, wrong time' and maybe finally the timing is right for them

username7 No no no Y/n deserves way better, Lando is too toxic for her

username2 Do you know him? Maybe he was going thru something and it just wasn't the time for him to be in a relationship

username9 A delusional yapper is what you are

username1 I think everyone thought they're together again after Finland

username2 They were NEVER together

yourfriend2 Can you get your asses out of here?

landonorris Looks delicious (the food too)

↳username3 DON'T GIVE ME HOPE

username4 Don't worry, it's just an average text from a situationship you'd get after weeks of no contact

username5 Usually followed up by "you busy tonight?"

↳username6 Ariana what are you doing here

↳username7 Man saw that comment Carlos deleted and decided to gatekeep

username5 Bet that's not the only thing he did when he saw that

username5 There's no way they didn't fuck

↳username8 fr a way to mark his territory

↳yourfriend1 She said she blocked you after Finland

landonorris She didn't😁

yourfriend1 I'll make sure she does now

landonorris She won't😌

username7 We need to know what happened in Finland 😭

username1 I wish he would share the secret

username2 Yeah, Oscar, don't be shy, share it with the class

username3 My bet is Y/n let Lando manipulate her again

↳username4 They're both adults like Y/n sweetie just say no it's that easy

username5 I'm gonna manifest Y/n and Lando announcing a relationship soon 🕯

username6 I mean have y'all seen Lando? I'm NOT surprised Y/n keeps coming back even if he's doing just the bare minimum

↳username7 He's average. The fact that he's famous and has money makes him more attractive

username6 Do you think he pays Y/n for... you know?

username7 🤷‍♀️

username8 Words cannot express how much this man gets on my nerves

↳username9 Same like man stop being blind and see that Y/n is gf material, not some hookup to be used and left

username10 I wish Oscar would've spoken😭

↳username12 Well maybe Y/n doesn't mind

username11 It didn't seem like it

KIDD; kiss-proof lipstick review

warning/s: very fluff, fem reader, youtuber/streamer!kidd, shy!s/o, modern au, most nsfw thing could happen is an abrupt makeout

note: based from this -> post, smaller italicized texts are sub-bullets

kidd as a youtuber that normally does metal covers with his band (heat, killer, and wire)

has about a solid following of 100k subs bc they're just so cool

that is until his viewers asked for his makeup tut bc he always looks so bomb

his viewers have also requested fit checks like what he wears in a week

kidd forgot to mention that he has a s/o, which mildly upset a certain demographic who was ahem thirsty for him

you as his gf doesn't really mind if he talks to himself in front of his phone or camera on random times, but he always tells you a quick warning beforehand bc you sometimes appear on the bg of his vids/streamer

i also think that at some point, kidd does game streams bc he's lazy to edit. his fanbase supports any content he does whether it's just yap streams or food streams or band rehearsals

i feel like he always aims for competitive games that are pvp like MK, COD, league, etc. it just feeds his ego, and he enjoys trashtalking 😭 riling his opponent up and all that

it's all so funny, which explains his fanbase that tolerates his insufferable temper and jokes. it takes a certain kind of humor that other people might take as offensive

but the second he got sponsored by a punk make-up line, a pr box arrived at his doorstep bc he rarely checks his emails

he'd ask you to do a makeup stream with him, but you were too shy about it. especially after being the final boss of a certain demographic that is attracted to him 😭 but you never told him that. knowing him, he'll probably flip all of them off and cause drama

he'd start up stream, poorly introducing the products. you laughed to yourself at how bad he was at complimenting or kissing ass to the brand he legit has never heard of😭

kidd knows how to apply his makeup; shadow, liner, and lipstick. he tried on a purple and red shadow combo and his usual full eye liner.

his stream at that point became very chill, his fans loving every bit of his craft and how focused he was doing everything. especially at how he looked like afterward

"now we got- kiss-proof lipstick? they sent me a shit ton of fuckin' shades!" he showed a whole box of liquid lipsticks. laughing at the ridiculous amount.

his fanbase requested a test of the kiss proof on his palm, showing interest in the product

but kidd had different ideas. it might be a good way to hard launch you already.

his ig and twt already had pictures of you during dates, but your face was always hidden most of the time

"a test on my palm? oh boy, i have a better idea for that."

he'd call you, "babe! baby! c'mere a moment, i need ya a bit."

his chat would go: "babe?!?! omg hard launch?!", "omg here is his s/o!", "OH GOD KIDD YOU SLICK CHEEKY FUCK!"

you'd be scared for a bit, but kidd looked really excited. besides you also want to check out his makeup products.

"are we gonna do it together?" you muttered lowly, referring to the review

"kinda." he shrugged. "i just got one lil job for you, you'd love it promise."

you were skeptical at first but oh well. kidd lets you pick the lipstick of your choice, which was a bright red. it always looks good on him.

the chat was highkey going crazy when your body from neck below was showing

they also noticed how kidd started acting differently, he spoke softly and he had this meek smile while looking up at you

he lets you apply it on him. you were now seating with the seat he pulled to let you down. the chat now being able to see you. you waved a hi shyly, and man the view count started going up

twt was already full of you guys 😖

kidd then fanned his lips, waiting for the product to dry.

"ok, what's next?" you asked, popping the lid close

"this." he grabbed the back of your head and kissed you on stream. holding the kiss pretty good in there, smirking through it as he did so, before sucking on your lips open

you were too flustered and frozen but he even had the audacity to angle his head the other way to continue kissing you

it was pretty fucking lewd, he was really getting in there

but you, you melted from his lips and his firm grip on your nape

the chat and stream lagged at the amount of chats and view counts increasing exponentially

once he pulled away after a good 2 minutes, he turned to the screen and said, "so? it really is kiss proof, aye?" he bursted out laughing at your reaction which was the same when he started kissing you 🤣

the chat also went hysterical, both from freaking out with the both of you and your reaction

you honestly didn't mind, you half expected it. it's kidd we're talking about🤣 because kidd did it as a flex and as a fuck you to his haters (especially those who were targeting you)

you had to excuse yourself which resulted to even more comedic response from kidd at how cute you are. you were burning red btw

you later come back to tell kidd and chat that you're okay, and you plan to get back on him for that

JASDHSAJDJSAJDSA I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!! JUST DID THIS LAST NIGHT

Looks Like They Know M.S.

Bf!Matt x Gf!Fem!Reader

A/N: If you don't like the preadded name in my stories, you can either add your own name or not read it; it's up to you :)

Savannah and Matt haver been dating for a little over 5 months and have kept there relationship out of the public eye pretty much which included not only the fans but also Matt's triplet brothers. i mean sure we should have told them about it when it first happened and we first got together but we wanted to enjoy each others company without having to worry about if we were spending too much time with each other.

"hey chris"

savannah greets walking out from matt's room discreetly surprised at finding him in the kitchen.

"hey"

he greets not even looking up from his phone yet which you breathily sigh out with relief knowing he didn't see you come out from his brothers room to question you on it.

"i thought you were playing fortnite live"

you question already knowing that they were and that he only come down to grab a breather.

"umm yeah i thought you were in nick's room"

he questions finally shifting his gaze putting his phone back in his pocket.

shit

Savannah forgot Nick's PC hasn't been working which is why he wasn't playing live with them.

"um uh i was in matt's room actually"

you nervously say hoping he would question it further

"hm okay then well i am going back to the game"

he replies ignoring the nervousiness that was painted on your face

You took a huge breath out as you close the door to matt's room as he make subtle eye contact with you carefully not alert the viewers or nick or chris that there was another presence in his room.

You couldn't deny it was getting harder to explain to chris and nick why you were spending so much time with Matt out of the three of them. Matt sensing the tension in the air turned his video off but forgot the most important thing his microphone.

"whats wrong"

"nothing"

you sigh out as matt turns around in his seat opening his arms as you make your way over to him, sitting on his lap.

" come on i know you what's wrong princess"

matt asks again. Unbeknownst to you two everyone can hear this interaction

"matt who the fuck are you talking to"

nick ask through chris mic

"probably Savannah she was in his room"

chris shrugs off fixating his attention to the chat on his screen.

"guys what the fuck are you saying he called her what"

chris questions confused scanning the chat.

"matt i dont know if i can keep this secret from them any longer"

"well do you think we should tell them"

he questions you looking at you scanning your face for your unreadable emotions.

"yeah we have to so i dont accidently let them find out on their own you know"

savannah states as she runs her hand through his fluffy hair.

"guys come on they are not dating"

nick replys to the chat verbally reading it

"okay well i have to get back to the game"

matts states as you standing up from his lap placing a kiss on his lips before heading over to his bed.

"hey chat- oh my what are yall saying"

"matt you left your mic on the whole time"

nick interjected.

"what"

he replies covering his mouth shocked.

" yeah who were you talking to were you on the phone"

"no i wasnt talking with anyone"

matt says deflecting the question starting another game.

"matt you weren't calling savannah princess that would be so weird yall are best friends"

chris stated as you started to lock in on the game in progress

"yeah of course i didnt think i said that"

matt says blowing it off still.

A few minutes pass by and savannah completely forgot that there was a stream going on making her way over to him standing in between his legs hugging him catching him off guard.

"holy shit no way"

chris whispers noticing the pair since the camera was still on shifting his gaze interchangeably with the now blowing up chat.

" how long has that been a thing"

nick whispers to chris as he shrugs his shoulders in reply.

"hi baby"

matt greets as he lovingly pats your ass given the position you were in. Savannah shifts herself looping her legs around his torso sitting on his lap, still unaware this is all going to all over social media.

"uhh MATT"

nick screams into chris mic as the pair jumps turning to face his computer screen.

"shit"

"when and how"

chris asks simply.

HIII OH MY GOSH THANK YOU FOR TAKING MY REQUEST!!!! i was wondering if you could do a scenario where reader was harley sawyers kid and came back to the factory in there teens and have an awkard reunion with there dad (You dont have to do this but if you do take you're time also sorry for asking twice i thought i forgot to add teen in there but if i didnt just ignore this)

I legit think the doctor should go die like again tbh🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩❤️❤️❤️❤️⁉️😍😍

Doctor Sawyer who reunites with his kid

Okay well don’t you just have the funniest family history!!

What happened was, when Sawyer found out he got his gf/wife pregnant(or jst a random lady idk😭) he was very mixed about it. Yes, he had thoughts about being an actual father, he knew he couldn’t help raise a child..in an orphanage WHERE THEY TURN THEM INTO TOY MASCOTS MIGHT I ADD?

So he was saying this in the kindest way possible, he was like

“No thank you.”

And she was like,

“Okay you ############, you’ll never see your child ever again then.”

And then she broke up or divorced him and took you into her custody, raising you as a single mother.

As you grew older you obviously wanted to know more about your father, but all she’d say was that he was a deadbeat and chose his job over his family. Which, you could understand her frustration but I’m reality, you wanted to know more than what he did wrong. What was his job? What’d he do that was so important? Was he a cat or dog person?

So once you were in your rebellion era/chapter/point in time(teenage years) you decided to dig deeper into the whole situation and go through everything your mother had owned to see if you could find any clues about him.

A few pictures of him and your mother were all you found but one photo had something you couldn’t miss.

It was him in a scientist coat with a name tag that said “Harley Sawyer, scientist of Playco.” Playco? Like where Huggy Wuggy came from, where Poppy Playtime came from? He worked there?

Honestly you’re kinda like a horror movie protagonist because the next thing you had planned was to go to Playco.

“20 bucks you won’t do it.”

“Bet.”

Boom. Now you’re at Playco, and searching for your dad. You eventually heard about the rumors of what happened to all the missing employees there but you couldn’t care less, all you wanted to know was how your father was. Or to know if he “died” with those employees or not.

And that’s where the start of Chapter one begins<3

Everything was normal(well as the chapters go), you “killed” Huggy Wuggy, you killed Mommy Longlegs, Catnap, Miss Delight, then you meet Doey. You think he talks and babies you way too much. “But you’re still just a child.” Plz shut up bro-

Then returning back with Poppy, she and Doey talked about the doctor, and they mention the name Harley Sawyer. They want him dead. And they want you to kill him, obviously you said you wouldn’t do that. Because you’re just the sweetest lil son/daughter ever<3

“Why not?”

😐

It’s not like you’re about to tell them that he’s your FATHER. They’d probably would also not like to know that also but anywho. You decided to not let your pride down and reluctantly agreed to kill the Doctor.

So much for being the sweetest ever.

But oddly enough, you’ve actually haven’t seen the Doctor or talked with him yet, only his minions Baba and Yarnaby.

Walking down the hall you used your Grabpack to open the door, you walked through it and suddenly felt something grab you. It was a robot figure with their head as a TV and it grabbed the back of your shirt, holding you so you had to face the voice that was speaking to you.

“Out of all the beings in this world it had to be you that has ruined these creations. My very own child.”

“Huh..?”

“You’ve grown so much from last I saw you, which, was when you were a mere baby. Yet I can’t help but feel angered by your presence here.”

“You're her husband? You’re going to kill me?”

“I would if it was any other child scurrying around this facility like a rat. I have no shame. Yet, I’ll let your mother do that herself. She’s treating you well, yes?”

“Mhm.”

“Good, now leave. Do not come back, and leave Poppy and Doey behind you in your life. Pretend this was all a dream. Goodbye Y/n.”

The last thing you saw was the robot throwing you out into the hall and the door slamming shut, that was awfully awkward. You smacked your head in realization to everything, how he openly admitted that you were his child. And how you couldn’t think of anything meaningful to say.

But should you listen to him?

Literally hope this isn’t dog water, readers just an insecure teenager fr

[xotication]

im actually obsessed with ur writing😫could u write about domestic things with kaneki? (idk if that’s the word) like slow mornings, going out to shop, etc!!

of course i can

☆,

i personally feel like slow mornings with ken come after having a night of fun.. ifykwim.

that being said though, he’s always extremely soft with you. & he’s doing any & all work so you don’t have to move all that much.

you guys spend almost two hours just laying in bed, talking, rotting.. well you’re mainly doing all the talking but ken is listening intently. he could tell exactly what you were saying ten minutes ago, without any fail. it’s so cute.

when you finally decide you wanna get up, ken makes his way to the bathroom first so he can put toothpaste on both of your guys toothbrushes.

ken will also fully try to speak to you as he’s brushing his teeth, it never makes any fucken sense but he refuses to stay quiet.

after teeth brushing, he’ll help you wash your face & then he’s on his way to make you wtv you’re feeling for breakfast.

trust, he literally wants you doing NOTHING.

“do you need help, ken? i can make the eggs”

“NO. just go sit down..”

“oh- ok you don’t have to YELL”

“sorry…”

LMAOO like he’s so passionate.

you have to stop him when he’s tryna spoon feed you your entire meal.

“i got it ken, thank you..”

“just say you hate me & want me to die.”

“OMG.”

—

on to shopping, most bfs don’t really like going shopping with their gfs because only god knows how long they’ll actually be shopping for.

but nonono. NOT KANEKI.

this man would be your personal stylist if he could be. you’ll be searching through the racks of clothes, mf waltz on over with at least 5 hangers & a big ass smile.

“here, try these on! i think they’d look good on you”

“ken, i can find my own-”

“SH. dressing room. you. NOW.”

& much to your surprise, his selections always do end up looking good on you. he’s making sure every color is gonna go with your skin tone. making sure nothing will stand out too harshly, & taking into account the things he already knows you don’t like.

not to mention, this man doesn’t let you pay for like, anything?

one time you guys were out thrifting & you kept finding the cutest pieces ever. only to reach into your purse & realize you’d forgotten your entire wallet.

“ken.. i forgot my wallet.”

when i tell you, the pure disgust written on this man’s face is OTHERWORLDLY.

“so..? who said i was gonna let you fucken pay for anything anyway? put everything you want in the cart & keep it pushing.”

“but ken.. that’s so much money”

“my money belongs to you”

your jaw dropped internally. it took all your willpower to not drop to the floor, roll around, & start giggling.

also! ken is a very big fan of matching or coordinated outfits. he loves loves loves being able to show that you guys are together. by any small or big means possible.

i’d also like to kindly remind you that ken absolutely does have a ring with your name on it :3

oh & he most definitely shares his clothes with you! he thinks it's so cute when he finds you in his closet, "what're you looking for, pretty?"

"erm.. i dunno, i really liked that one shirt you wore like 2 days ago."

"this one?" he's holding up a plain black shirt. on the back side there's angle wings, & the shirt itself is a little faded out from when he first got it, so you love the aesthetic of it.

"yes!"

"all you had to do was ask, honey."

—

i think one thing ken really enjoys doing with you is taking walks. like no matter the time nor weather. he loves a good walk & yap session with his favorite girl.

“baby, can we go for a walk”

“what’re you, a dog?”

“no.. i just wanna walk & talk.. well, hear you talk”

“we can talk in here..”

“but i wanna talk outside, get some fresh air.. yk?”

“fine.”

you guys end up walking down to a park nearby, & you're of course telling ken about the most of random things you've been seeing & hearing lately.

the two of you are gossiping about your workspaces, friend groups, social media drama & so on.

ken ends up picking like a million flowers & he puts them in your hair, you don't even stop him because you know it's making him happy, "you're so beautiful, y/n." he says when he's finally all done.

"i know."

"yeah? & how do you know?"

"you tell me everyday"

ken has the biggest, stupidest smile on his face when you say this. he feels like he's doing his job right. he opens insta & takes a picture of you in that moment & captions it, "my flower girl" & hits share.

—

ahem.

ken most definitely reads you books. it is the best bonding time ever. especially if it's a really good book too.

he loves to fucken slam the book down & debrief anything & everything with you.

if something crazy happens, ken will fully throw the damn book across the room as he's reading it.

"ken?!" "HOLYYYY FUCKEN SHIIITT"

"boy go pick the fucken book up! i didn't even hear what happened yet!"

"oh, right."

& then he's scrambling to get the book & sitting you in his lap so you can read the tea too. when you finally do, you gasp & he's all in your ear lie, "MHMM, i told you!!"

one time you bought 50 shades of grey without telling him what it was about & when he finally got to the spicy parts, his jaw dropped to the ground.

"y/n, what the hell am i reading?!"

"a book!!"

"let's recreate?"

you two most definitely recreated.

—

this is so random but i’ve been thinking about kaneki playing dress to impress SMMM.

when he sees it trending all over his tiktok & insta, he’s absolutely itching to play with you.

one day you come home from being out with a couple friends & ken is on ft with hide, practically screaming.

“CHAT WHERE TF ARE THE SCARVES?!?! there’s only a minute left!!”

you peer over his shoulder to sneak a peek at his screen & low & behold. it’s dti.

you lean down to kiss his cheek & he’s like “oh my god, babe! go get your laptop, you have to play this shit with us”

..

it’s been only 2 rounds & ken is whining about how you placed podium TWICE when he’s been trying for the past hour.. or two.

“baby.. this isn’t fair.”

“kaneki this is so rigged.” hide chimes in.

you’re cackling in your spot, “just fucken try harder?!”

“I HAVE BEEN”

you look at ken’s screen & see the worst possible outfit for “ghosts vs ghouls”

he literally made their skin green & thought he was eating the competition UPPP.

not to mention the fully purple outfit he put on, & random black top hat? with bulky black boots, & a makeup look that looked BUTCHERED.

“ken, my love. that outfit is horrible.”

he’s just about ready to put his mac through a wood chipper. there’s a pout on his face.

“okay well- can you play on my computer so i can get at least one win.” he says in the softest voice ever & you feel like it’s taking all your might not to laugh.

ken just wanted his dti win. :p

i’m so sorry this took so fucken long. ☠️

[mellohd]

EMH Marble Hornets AU!!

ok i know im not creative when it comes to aus but i thought itd be interesting to tell the story of MH through EMH’s story? IF YOU GUYS HAVE THOUGHTS OR QUESTIONS PLS LEAVE SOME IN MY INBOX!!! :-]( or even questions for the MH!EMH characters heh)1

Basically its just marble hornets told through EMH, for example instead of “tapes i found” story telling theyd open a youtube channel for tips and tricks on making your own movie while they make their own called Marble Hornets! EMH/MLA spoilersish up ahead

Heres the character correspondences:

Alex-> Jeff

Jay-> Vinnie

Tim-> Evan

Brian-> Michael!MLA

Jess-> Alex!EMH

Amy ->Jeffs GF(so sorry i forgot her name 😭)

“Masky”->Habit(which makes sense depending on the theories you go with for either series)

“Hoody”->Patrick (same as the last one)

Characters in cant figure out an association with:

Steph, Jess(Evans bestfriend) Shaun So they might just not have a place in this story idk

Since Mlanderson and EMH are in the same universe i thought id make Brian the Michael/Patrick of this story, except more involved. Instead of their being a shaun i think id like Brian to just go to MH crew, if ykwim. I did this cause the only other character i thought could fit Brian was Alex!EMH and I didnt like that.

My take on Masky is that hes just a more aware Tim, not a separate being (tho i do like to think of it that way for fun sometimes ha ha). Masky in my mind was in a battle against the operators control and was ultimately trying to help Jay. I think Masky would br Habit in this series cause of the theory that Habit is one of the first few iterations of Evan, thats why theyre similar and so compatible etc if you know the theory you know. That does mean that Tim isnt gonna act all ha ity, just more erratic i think, i havent gone tooooooo far into a characterization(or even a name) for Emh!MH Habit yet

“Hoody” I see as just brian and he was just disguising himself. in this au “Hoody” would be patrick. Let me explain,

Frim what i gathetef through my second watch of EMH and, my first of MLA , patrick is just Michael but remembers every single iteration, hes a similar being to Habit, thats why he has powers ig? Look i havent gotten too far into theories fir MLA the fandom is so dead i never see any 😭😭. I dont want to get to far into theories on other series anyways cause rhis is about my AU so ANYYYYWAYS i think brian would fit that its just brians story doesnt fit entirely with Michael, actually Tim would probably fit more now that i think about it. Oh god now im thinking of switching them again uhm wtv

I think the rest of the correspondences make sense if you think about it a bit. Jay as Vinnie makes sense to me because of boths compulsive need for answers even though its destructive to those around them. Jay wouldnt be as much as a villain in this like vinnie is (or maybe i havent decided muahaha). I also thought they fit cause they both do that weird thing where they constatly have to document everything.

I thought tim eould fit Evan just cause of the whole habit arc.

Alex as Jeff was more of a fill a role thing that eventually made sense to me. I did think of making him Evan and Tim Jeff, and im still thinking of doing this, but i thought the whole finding the gf arc would fit alex more. Alex would still be one of the villains i think. Like i said this would be marble hornets told through EMH lol. I might even switch it up and assign a habit type role to Alex instead and there be two patrick characters who knows!

As you can tell im still thinking this through so maybe mext post i make about this will be more solid. if youre interested to talk about this kore with me(obv my inbox) or i have a slenderverse discord i made with my friend heh tik tok smug emoji. come join if youre looking for more slenderverse friends(and if youre interested in darkharvest and mla especially cause i need more people to talk about that to 😭😭)

[fagcrush]

do u have any disability headcamons for bg3 companions/theil?

Oh thank you for giving the chance to infodump about a theil thing that I've been thinking about a lot. Like... Literally I am writing a fic about it and it's come in in my bg3 rp bc we've started postgame stuff

Basically! I hold this heavy hc that there would be some pretty bad neurological effects of losing the tadpoles depending on the amount you utilized-and particularly strong effects if you went half-illithid. I'm gonna put a read more cuz. It's long

Going by this HC, Astarion also had some effects-but these were very light in comparison to Theil, and her recovery is actually pretty fast. It's... Really losing half illithid form that really messes you up.

No one else had effects bc Theil is a greedy bitch and is like no only me and my pretty vampire gf get them >:c

After they defeat the brain and Karlach dies, Theil falls unconscious-not waking up for nearly two days. When they wake up, everything hurts. So bad. It's a level of pain they've never felt before. The dim light of their room in the inn hurts their head. They can barely move their limbs. They can't talk at first, and when they can, their words are just. Coming out weird and they keep forgetting words and what they're saying.

They also find they can't walk at all. They can't get up. Their legs seem to simply Not Work. It feels like they're weighted down. Like their bones are suddenly made of dense iron. Even with support they simply can't.

They're also just miserable emotionally. They want to cry over everything (which I mean.. they also just watched their childhood friend and girlfriend explode but). They've always had poor emotional control, but it's so much worse now. Mood swings, disproportionate reactions, all if it is god awful.

Their brain and body just feel like a big mess. Even once Astarion has mostly recovered, they're barely starting recovery.

They're given a lot of healing and medicine over a long, long time. Long term physical therapy, too. They're in a wheelchair for a couple of months, and then continue with crutches for a few more once their physical therapy and other care start to let them walk again. They end up needing a cane part time for the rest of their life, but they're kind of fussy about using it.

They never truly fully "recover." Neither does Astarion, but he's just. Very obviously having less long term struggle than Theil. Particularly Theil is just... In pain more often than not, and they have a lot of emotional struggle they just cannot work through. They struggle a lot with emotional control.

OH AND. TACKING THIS ON BC I FORGOT IT AND CANT FIGURE OUT WHERE TO PUT IT

The "wild" aspect of their magic is more intense after this all. Part of it is their unsteady emotions, but their magic also reacted in really Weird ways with the illithid stuff and when that was lost, it kind of... Burst? In a way? They're prone to more surges, and the surges are usually more intense.

And yeah!! I think that covers it hdkfjdnf

I think Abt this all the time it kills me lmao

[official-avenger-mess]

okay so...

i have a gf now. well, not officially but...

her name? oh sorry, forgot to mention...

it's NATASHA ROMANOFF.

here's the storytime because i am FREAKING OUT.

im sure this is NOT my life but okay, not complaining.

So there I was. In my room. Spiraling. Still.

I’ve just experienced the emotional equivalent of a supernova, and now I’m hiding under my covers like a medieval maiden who saw ankle. My brain is short-circuiting. My heart is doing backflips. My lips still taste like her.

And then. A knock.

Gentle. Two taps.

I freeze. Like maybe if I stay still enough I’ll go invisible. (Spoiler: didn’t work.)

“Morgana?” Her voice. Soft. Careful. Dangerous. Not in the lethal assassin way—no, worse. Dangerous in the she-could-hurt-me-and-I’d-say-thank-you kind of way.

I squeak out a totally unintelligible “yeah?” and she opens the door slowly, peeking in like she’s not entirely sure I want to see her.

“I, um… saw you running off. Are you okay?”

Okay?? MA’AM. NO. I AM ONE MORE LOOK AWAY FROM MELTING INTO A PUDDLE OF PURE LESBIAN LONGING.

But I nod. Of course I nod. Because I’m cool. I’m chill. I’m definitely not about to combust if she steps even one inch closer.

She lingers in the doorway for a second. Then:

“…Wanna come to my room for a bit?”

Cue system failure.

My whole soul yeeted itself out of my body but somehow I managed to say yes. Very cool. Very casual. I might’ve squeaked again.

We walk down the hallway like normal people (except my heart is trying to escape through my ribcage). Her hand brushes mine. I forget how to breathe.

Her room is quiet. Dim. Cozy in a very her way... I love this room. I perch on the edge of her bed like a raccoon that got invited inside but doesn’t trust the furniture. She sits next to me. Not touching. Not yet.

Then—gently, so gently—she reaches for my hand.

I think I stopped existing.

“I meant everything I said on the motel,” she murmurs. “All of it.”

I nod. Or I try to. I think I do a weird jerky motion that vaguely resembles nodding.

There’s a pause. The kind that stretches and hums. And then she leans in and kisses me.

Slow. Sweet. Familiar now, and still new. Her lips are soft. Her hand is warm in mine. I tilt my head, kiss her back, let myself melt.

We pull apart. Barely. And she smiles. “Can I hold you?”

WHY DOES SHE ASK LIKE THAT?? LIKE I’M PRECIOUS??😭😭😭😭😭😭

I nod (better this time) and we lay back on her bed, curled into each other like a tangle of limbs and fate. Her hand draws lazy circles on my back. My nose brushes her collarbone. She kisses the top of my head and I physically ascend.

We don’t talk for a while. Just cuddles. Just warmth. Just stolen kisses and occasional shy glances that end in grins and soft giggles.

Then, after what feels like forever and no time at all, she speaks.

Quiet. Almost nervous.

“…Would you maybe wanna… try being with me?”

I blink.

“Like… like with me. Like a thing. A real thing. A relationship. I mean, only if you want to. No pressure. But I— I really want to. Be with you. Officially. Not just… yeah..."

My heart combusts.

This goddess of death and chaos. This lethal, beautiful creature. She’s asking me—disaster witch incarnate—if I want to be hers.

I grab her face with both hands and kiss her. Probably too fast. Definitely too hard. I don’t care. When I finally pull back, I whisper, “yes.”

She laughs. She beams. Like actual sunburst-level smile.

“Am I your girlfriend now?”

“I wanna ask you that properly. Give me time but yeah... you can say you're.” she echoes, soft and wonderstruck.

Then we kiss again.

And again.

And again.

And yeah. We’re definitely gonna make Wanda scream from how disgusting we’re about to become.

Girlfriend out.🤘🏻

Landlords always live on whole different planets than renters but in my home country they take it to the next level, if you lurk in Facebook groups for landlords their biggest issues are "they didn't pay rent and left the place dirty" or "they asked for a contract and want the real amount of rent on it but I want to do tax fraud :(((" but if you talk to renters you get stories like "oh yeah we didn't have warm water the entire time we lived there and the landlord wouldn't replace the boiler so we had to heat water on the stove to take a shower" (actual story of how a former coworker and his gf lived in a house they shared with like 4 other people in uni) or these stories from a website where ppl can share their experiences:

Every month when [the landlady] came to collect the rent, she was more intrusive. She was opening the cupboards, looking at how we tidied up. When she saw some dust, she went to wipe it. Just like that. She mostly stayed for 15 minutes to half an hour. Otherwise, we agreed on an arrival time, but she did not stick to it. She wanted in. She completely changed when she saw that there was dust on the frames of the pictures hanging on the wall. She started yelling and 'scolding' us about why it wasn't cleaned and that we weren't taking good care of the apartment.

and

The owner found it acceptable to "come to visit" several times unannounced, without knocking or ringing the bell. The neighbor from the flat below also told me that once he "mistakenly" ended up in their flat. He called himself a janitor and thus "arranged" unnecessary things around the apartment - but, of course, not the things that should be done. The roommates said that he had entered their rooms many times before and, for example, took out the half-empty garbage (we were all very busy separating the waste, but he grabbed the garbage and put it together in one bag), and of course he always moved the thermostat to around 16 degrees [Celsius].

and

My boyfriend and I were looking for an apartment last summer. Just because we are two guys, we have received a lot of discrimination and unpleasant personal questions. We were most surprised by one owner who, after learning that we were a same-sex couple, asked us what our sex life was like, because as the owner she does not want orgies to take place in her apartment.

and

The owner perceived our part of the apartment as his own, because he used to live there - just because he rents it out to others, he didn't think there was anything wrong with going inside all the time, keeping things stored in the closets in our hallway, washing clothes in our machine, the tub in our garden, ... In the chat that he made on a phone app, and in which all the tenants had to join, for example, when we were not at home, he would send us photos of the lights on in our kitchen, saying , why do we throw electricity away (apparently someone forgot to turn them off). When we were cooking, he poked his head through our door without knocking and gave instructions on how to ventilate for cooking. Eventually, his mother also started entering the apartment unannounced because she was keeping frozen bread in our freezer. Several times his 3-year-old child came into our living room and yelled until both the owner and his mother also came and started yelling at the child and at each other, which sometimes lasted for half an hour.

I really want to make it clear that these are not some rare extreme cases. Slovenian landlords are genuinely some of the most unhinged people and they for some reason continue viewing the place they're renting out as their own. My partner and I had one landlady come in regularly and comment on how "messy" it was and that her daughters (who lived there before us apparently) always kept it spotless and that we had mold in the (basement apartment with no ventilation) because we were "cooking too much" and when the toilet broke she blamed us for "using it wrong" and tried to make us pay for the repair.

Almost everyone has a story at least this bad or worse. It's a completely unregulated market with no oversight and barely any consequences even when landlords break every law in the book. Sometimes they don't allow you to have guests over. They often won't give you a proper contract, meaning that you can't register your address there, because they don't want to pay taxes on the rent. Slovenia has no real estate tax. They pay nothing and usually get away with it. It's a fucking shitshow and I'm so glad I don't live there anymore.

Sorry it's me again >_< had a really rough night and um I hope you don't mind another request 👉👈

Can you ✨please✨ write headcanons of ruby reassuring her gf that her life is worth living and the bad times won't last forever? (I'm currently going through a really rough time and I can't get a job or (probably) go to school again for a while because of my severe anxiety and neurodivergency, and I just... Need that type of comfort 😅)

Ruby Soho comforting her partner; drabble

Word count: 553

Warnings: slight angst, I think?

Notes: hope you enjoy anon, and I do hope things get better for you!! Also I know you requested this to be a headcanons list, but I forgot when I started writing this in my notes.

There were no questions asked. The moment Ruby walked through the door of the bedroom and saw the tears stream down your cheeks, she kicked off her shoes to immediately join you in bed. She held you close until your sniffles died down and your soft hiccups started after the harsh sobs came to an end, painted nails gentle scratching your back in hopes of calming you down or at least helping you find some sort of comfort in this moment, despite being unsure of what was happening or how you were feeling exactly.

“Talk to me, babe.” It was more of gentle encouragement than a command. She could understand if you didn’t want to talk about it at all and just wanted to lay here or continue to cry it out. Whatever you chose, she was there for you.

Getting it all off your chest, she would listen to you, making sure you knew all her attention and focus was on you. She wanted to know she was there for you, she was here, and she wasn’t going to let you go. As you let all your problems, told her every little thing, every stress, every worry, she was right there.

“Oh, baby .. I know times are hard and life can just be so, so shitty. But believe it or not, it is still worth living, because you have so much to look forward to. I know it may not seem like it right now, because you’re getting hit with every single roadblock life it throwing at you, but just trust me. It will always get better. I promise. And I also promise that I will be with you, always, every step of the way to make sure things go at least a little better the next day and the next.”

With a gentle hand cupping your cheek, Ruby pulls you into a kiss, gentle and sweet as she always was with you. No matter how rebellious and ‘bad’ she may seem in front of the cameras, she always showed you just how kind she could be — how kind she was to you.

“Now, I’m going to get out of bed and make us some popcorn, grab some drinks, and throw our fluffy blanket in the dryer so it’s nice and toasty. And you .. ”

A pause as she got up with the fluffy blanket from the end of the bed, another quick kiss pressed to your lips with a faint smudge of her black lipstick being left behind.

“ .. are going to find us a movie to watch. Sound like a plan, muffin?”

“Sounds good.” You spoke up, causing a smile spread across her face as she leaned down to gently wipe away any tears left behind on your cheeks.

“Alright then. Here is the remote then and I will be right back.”

And with that, she ran off to do just as she said she would. Blanket in the dryer, popcorn in the microwave, and retrieving two drinks for the two of you to wash down your snack for the movie.

Ruby knew she couldn’t solve everything and she knew life could be so difficult at times. But she hoped that, at the very least, she could make it just a little bit better for you.

AREPO'S RESEARCH SUGGESGTED AXEHOLM HAD FALLEN TO A BANSHEE IN AGES PAST. WILL OUR HEROES BE ABLE TO SECURE AXEHOLM? FIND OUT…….. TODAY! THIS SUCKS SO BAD

Last time, on Dragon of Icespire Peak!

Our heroes arrived at the forgotten dwarvern fortress of Axeholm, seeking to ensure that it's safe for refugees from Phandalin should the need arise. Upon arrival, they found the front gate locked, but after a careful infiltration through arrows slits in the walls, Dauble was able to open the doors for the rest of the group. However, a horrible stench permeated these halls, and the source was quickly discovered to be foul dwarvern ghouls, roaming the halls in undeath, including one carrying a signet ring with Axeholm's crest. Arepo's research suggested that the fortress had fallen at the hands of a banshee in ages past, which may well still be haunting the lost fortress. After several battles against the risen, and more yet to come, will our heroes be able to secure Axeholm? Find out, today!

DIRECTLY INTO INITIATIVE! right i forgot we left off right before an encounter fixing the issue from last time of "deleting tokens blows up initiative" by putting invisible men under the ground. like fallout nyx put on 1 Hour Of Silence Interrupted By Pikmin Noises and got jumpscared

green: my father was a pikmin jorb: oh! green: don't ask.

arepo's up to bat! time for vicious mockery. oh hey we can see healthbars now jorb: how are you giving kepesk bardic inspiration? green: you just hand it to me.

[insert the "dauble!" "boggle!" conversation Again - NYX HAS ONCE AGAIN BEEN JUMPSCARED BY PIKMIN nyx: ok im normal, im normal. i have a pikmin on my shoulder but its vibing, im here jorb: wildshape into a pikmin. 2 inches tall

dauble does not wildshape into a pikmin. dauble is using word of radiance! -oh they're not close enough nevermind. wait no they've moved into range. WORD OF RADIANCE!

oh right. walls exist. kepesk sadly cant clip through walls. thankfully attack of opportunity bounces right off him!

hm. gettin kinda crowded in here

HOLY SHIT MY CROSSBOW WORKED. IT ACTUALLY GOT A KILL FOR ONCE. WILD . also used a nat20 to annihilated a guy with 2hp left Consultation Saving Throw - ah oh no dauble is now paralyzed . that's an issue. OH GOD THEY GET AUTO-CRIT NOW IF ANYBODY MELEES THEM? THAT'S AN ISSUE

jorb: you feel necrotic energy seeping into your limbs and you cant move. nyx: or speak. jorb: your mouth is a limb! leo and jason: Hm.

arepo is casting sleep! OOPS NEVERMIND UNDEAD AREN'T AFFECTED BY SLEEP. time for another vicious mockery (and also whacking dauble with bardic inspiration. 🎶 walk it off walk it off walk it off) jorb: dauble, it's your turn! you are paralyzed and inspired! hooray, the inspiration got dauble back on their feet! still surrounded by ghouls (and lizards) though

kepesk being the change he wants to see in the world (killing people)! ghouls cant fall asleep but they CAN feel shame

green: [rolls a 23 on a con save] jorb: would you like to use your bardic inspiration? green: UHH?????? (she was fine)

jason: i think i broke something. leo: WHAT IS HAPPENING TO YOU?? (apparently he rolled two nat10s back to back. he's also fine)

DAUBLE KNOWS INFLICT WOUNDS. SURE. A NECROMANCY SPELL. SURE. anyway they are inflicting the hell out of those wounds

nyx: im going to grab [the ghoul] by the neck and bash his head into the floor. leo: HOLY SHIT jason: i ""cast"" inflict wounds nyx: and he's going to get fucking raptured. he's going to wilhelm scream himself out of existence kepesk: I DIDN'T KNOW THEY COULD DO THAT!

well! that's one way to end an encounter! don't you hate it when you're paralyzed so you have to reduce a zombie to a fine dust

arepo has found a platinum amulet with a hammer and anvil! and also a little chest. jason: what horrible monster have i unleashed. jorb: the mimic eats you. um - oh hey arepo finds another potion! oh its labeled this time so he doesnt need to drink to find out. superior healing!

dauble's hoarding instinct is kicking in. wuh oh alidaar: i put a hand on dauble's face and shove them away like a misbehaving cat. hmm. dauble doesn't like the amulet, actually. oh its the symbol of moradin, the dwarven god of creation! alidaar's holding onto it for now.

jorb: so you're heading up the stairs, dauble? leo: dauble! green: dauble! jason: daubling up the stairs.

WUH OH. BANSHEE.

jorb: its face becomes a mask of rage as it screams G [cuts out]

dauble: uh. guys? kepesk: treasure? :D alidaar: i dont think treasure screams. arepo: well, sometimes. alidaar: …do you have experience in screaming treasures?? kepesk: i had a treasure that screams, actually. …it's a long story. alidaar: huh. neat. kepesk: it doesn't scream anymore though alidaar: why does that sound so concerning

kepesk: [to the banshee] dude, you gotta get out of here, there's a banshee in the castle TIME FOR INITIATIVE

leo: [checking tracker] ooh, she has a name! (jorb: how's the pikmin noises going?) jason: most people have one. she has a "hello my name is vyldara" sticker (she does not)

arepo leading the battle with vicious mockery! and telling the banshee she's off-key for 1 psychic damage.

jorb: she uses horrifying visage. so everyone in 60 feet that can see her - green: alidaar can't see.

jorb: i'm assuming he's been looking around the corner! leo: yeah he's peering around scooby doo style

WUH OH . everybody but arepo failed their wisdom save! - nevermind, dauble got advantage bc They've Seen Worse. the reptile duo are now scared shitless what are lizards afraid of that mammals arent? pufferfish.

ah no this sucks. we can't move willingly closer and we have disadvantage in line of sight. thiiiis suuuuuuucks kepesk tries throwing a javelin! unfortunately, shaky hands from Absolute Terror makes a miss. man what am i gonna do

green: if we win, i'll pick [the javelin back] up. nyx: IF???????

OOF. NAT 2 AND NAT 1. kepesk has dropped the javelin on his foot

the fact that the two heavy hitters are frightened is not good, actually. i mean dauble and arepo are pretty good at what they do but kepesk and alidaar are both the up-close brawlers and they are currently unable to get up close and have a disadvantage on brawling.

DAUBLE WALKS UP. SMACKS KEPESK UP ON THE HEAD. "GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER" it is REALLY funny that the tiny halfling and the bookworm bard are completely unaffected by this and the two beefy lizards are weeping and wailing in terror

kepesk: you wouldn't get it, it's a lizard thing, alidaar: she's a pufferfish!

dauble knows turn undead! apparently they did this before and i forgot

nyx: im going to hold up my - jesus christ i forgot about the pikmin. jorb: you hold up your pikmin!

dauble is using shadow clone juitsu! sure. dauble 2: the second one. green: cmon kid we've gotta save dauble… 2!

discussing if we can throw kepesk or not. unfortunately we cant green: so long, gay kepesk! jorb: thank you for playing my game!

I Am Going To Shove Kepesk . i have shoved kepesk

kepesk: [TERRIFIED SCREAMING AS HE IS SHOVED FIVE FEET TOWARDS THE BANSHEE]

alidaar ducked out of line of sight and shook off the fear! shoving kepesk made him feel better.

jorb: arepo conjures a spray of spectral black lotuses. jason: i'm trying to think of a magic card with ugly art to be like "oh, you think that's bad?" nyx: he throws pot of greed. green: wait, but what does that card do?! leo: IT ALLOWS ME TO DRAW TWO CARDS AND ADD THEM TO MY HAAAAAAAAAAAND

arepo has showered the banshee in a spray of ugly-ass cards.

wuh oh. arepo and kepesk having to make con saves against a mournful wail! kepesk rolled a 1 but thankfully he has bardic inspiration - ah wait no he's one short. AH OH GOD DIRECTLY TO ZERO

Dauble Has Entered Kill Mode . INFLICT WOUNDS!

………..oh my god there's no effect.

green: ..so what happens if we all die? like is that it, we delete the discord, [..] jason: is kepesk still afraid while dead? green: kepesk is on a second adventure in his brain where it's like YOU'LL FAIL and he's like NO, MY FRIENDS ARE WITH ME

The Unconscious Kepesk Is No Longer Frightened green: in my dream state, im having a miniboss battle

hm . i cant really do much from where i'm at even after running up, i'd have to close the distance somehow before using any of my runes… jorb: you could use your crossbow! leo: alright. fuck it.

leo: WHOA! [..] alright, i'm using my crossbow again!

leo: … [strained] i love my crossbow, it sucks so bad

arepo has given kepesk the superior healing potion! wahoo! chekhov's potion in full effect green: the potion was cursed and because you used the action to give it to me, i'm fully cursed. jason: why would you say that? kepesk hugging arepo and weeping

huh. the banshee has Left. well. kepesk is giving chase through the closest door!

leo: [EXPLOSIVE LAUGHTER] jorb: what, what's happened?? leo: the - the state of the room! green: not just the state of the room…

green: …you'll see it is NOT CONNECTED.

kepesk stomps out of the room and his rage activates on its own ah. the room kepesk went in has a stone tub full of gnawed dwarven bones. great!

nyx: i have a question. is the banshee smart enough to know dauble 2 isn't real? jorb: is kepesk smart enough to know dauble 2 isn't real? green: kepesk 100% thinks there's two daubles.

hm. alidaar can't get in the room. CROSSBOW TIME jason: oh, he's shooting into the door? jorb: alidaar shouts "dauble, duck!" nyx: both daubles duck.

crossbow just BARELY hits - leo: i'm using my fire rune! GUESS WHAT I REMEMBERED - guess what i realized my crossbow counts as a weapon!

rolling my physical dice bc i like doing that once a session i guess! oh god i have to get on the floor to roll my physical dice . oh god ive unplugged my headset. great googly moogly its all going to shit

OH . GREAT. SHE HAS A RESISTANCE TO FIRE AND IS IMMUNE TO BEING RESTRAINED. AKA THE TWO THINGS MY FIRE RUNE DOES. MAN

we have another pile up.

green: IF I COMPEL DUEL THEM, WILL THEY GET AN ATTACK OF OPPORTUNITY FROM ALL THREE OF THEM? [..] jason: definitely cast compel duel on the creature that's demonstrated an attack that goes in a straight line [and kills us instantly].

i appear to have spaced out at a bad time. is green rolling to see which ally to slap to keep kepesk's rage going nevermind, kepesk has bit a ghost. jason: refreshing, tangy ectoplasm. jorb: it's kinda like biting a lacroix?

jorb: using your noggin! leo: you're THINKING! nyx: i'm thinking!! jason: Now You're Thinking With Daubles [...] jorb: so true, bestie. i mean, b-slur nyx: WHY WOULD YOU CALL ME A SLUR NOW OF ALL TIMES green: I SPACED OUT FOR A SECOND, HUH? leo: ME TOO?? (nyx has a running joke where he says b-slur instead of bestie)

HERE COMES ALIDAAR WITH A STEEL CHAIR!! jorb: how would you like to do this? leo: ……………i don't know! alidaar fuckin Vaults over arepo and slaps that bitch apart. LET'S GO

alidaar pets dauble on the head. alidaar pets dauble 2 on the head. dauble 2 evaporates

dauble stares kepesk down and tells him "be more careful next time. i can't afford to lose you." alidaar holds out the most awkward fistbump and goes "aayyyyy, gettin knocked down and yelled at for it buddies…!"

jorb showed off the banshee stat block and it has SO MANY RESISTANCES AND IMMUNITIES. ITS IMMUNE TO COLD. FUCK MY LIFE FOREVER

jorb: there's another bedroom [..] who puts their bed in the middle of the room, god damn. GOD DAMNIT I ALERTED THE HORDE (STIRGES) dauble wakes up, goes FUCK YOU, and explodes a stirge

arepo: there's bugs in there. kepesk: ew!

jason: are they bugs? jorb: they look like this but smaller. [posts image] green: every time you show me this it looks more and more disgusting.

arepo has viciously mocked the final stirge . arepo: the rest of you already left, what are you still doing here =/

alidaar has rolled an 11 to smack the stirge like a mosquito. that's a miss. this is incredibly embarrassing EVERYONE IS TRYING TO SLAP THE STIRGE OFF ALIDAAR. AND FAILING NEVERMIND. KEPESK HAS FLICKED THE STIRGE INTO A WALL WITH A NAT 20 UNARMED STRIKE. FUCKING CLOWNSHOW

things the fireplace contains: 100 more stirges, a banshee, the second boar, sephiroth,

Everyone Has Become Fascinated With This Fireplace

jorb: any magic items you miss will go in the dragon hoard. nyx: jorb i am going to go to your house and eat you jorb: that's what i've been doing! any loot goes in the dragon hoard! leo: we've been REALLY bad at looting things.

dauble has found a chest! time to put the signet ring in it dauble: put the ring in there. kepesk: oh, jeffrey! nyx: dauble stares at him. green: i don't know why it's jeffrey the ring on my character sheet.

kepesk: nooo i dont wanna go in there, youre gonna cask of amontillado me! dauble: i will if you dont put the ring in there!

ooo! fancy helmet and fancy gauntlets! green: [hopeful] wearable for lizardpeople? jorb: eh, you can make it work.

dauble has decided to shove the items in their bag and scoot out. dauble please. dauble you have 10 magic items. dauble we're dying

oh hey this place has hot water! and also bones in the tub but that's fine

I Roll An Eight On Animal Handling To Find Out There's A Naturally Heated Hot Spring Underground

okay i guess we're cleaning the bone tub. cool

WE HAVE KNOWN AREPO FOR LIKE, A WEEK, WE ARE NOT GETTING NAKED IN THE BONE TUB WITH HIM arepo has decided to walk away. kepesk doesn't shower. Roll To See If Dauble Has Seen A Capybara (they have not)

jorb: alidaar, what are you doing? leo: staring at the binturong. wondering how his life got to this moment. alidaar sits in the tub with his entire armor on.

Advancement Unlocked: How Did We Get Here?

Time To Interrogate Dauble (in the bath) hoo boy! alidaar is very suspicious of dauble's newfound necromantic magic, but dauble keeps brushing it off because they dont want to lose anybody else - tobias isn't the first person theyve lost, and if this helps them keep people safe, then its fine. alidaar tells them "if you didn't want to lose people, you made a bad choice becoming an adventurer." it gets Supremely Awkward bc of them being in the Bone Tub and alidaar exits stage left

jason: does the binturong popcorn smell get stronger when wet?

Kepesk Is Now The Chosen Lizard (binturong has climbed up on kepesk's shoulder) nyx: dauble is not speaking to any of their lizards right now.

hm. the walls in here are covered with weird secretions that would allow creatures to walk on walls and ceilings…. like a gecko…………….

GIANT GECKOS (hey remember last time when i mentioned jorb said he needed to reskin some monsters)

jorb: first up is the immune to ninjas dauble "dauble!" "dauble!"

unfortunately arepo is out of spell slots and wasnt able to regain them on a short rest. this will be a problem most likely

WHAT . ALIDAAR TWOSHOT A GECKO . SURE (breath weapon + dragonslayer crit) and kepesk follows up with nearly taking a gecko down! off to a great start :D

OH NO IM BEING YOSHI'D

jorb: do you have any bonus actions? leo: uhhh, i do, but i dont think it would help me any.. or be good for anyone around me…… jorb: your breath weapon? oh, no, that's- leo: giant's might. |D; jorb: oh! green: shove kepesk down the stairs. jorb: that's a wall, not a railing, so.. green: smushes kepesk against the wall. nyx: you hear - [mario super mushroom soundboard] - and kepesk gets smushed

(i have decided to not use giant's might)

jorb announces the start of a round with "[name], you're up! with [next] on deck." and it's very fun. it reminds me of being in theatre for some reason

jorb: and that's a natural 1! nyx: take double damage! -no not actually jorb: i believed you! you could've lied to me! leo: always lie to your dm. it is always morally correct

I HAVE FINALLY USED MY INSPIRATION . leo: i have had that inspiration for a literal year. green: WHAT

GIANT'S MIGHT TIME . where's the funny button [SUPER MUSHROOM NOISE]

meanwhile, kepesk continues killing

arepo gives alidaar bardly inspiration by playing the godzilla theme. or jurassic park because that's the only one any of us can remember at the time. wait no green remembered it, jorb had to google it though

jorb: how do you want to do this? leo: UM. I HAVE A FUNNY IDEA BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO THIS,

GIANT LIZARD ON GIANT LIZARD WRESTLING MATCH . alidaar chucks a gecko down the stairs. amazing way to end an encounter YET AGAIN . the gecko also has a very delayed explosion after we leave

kepesk's time for a fireplace adventure! a gecko eats his head and he dies instantly. no hes fine

OKAY! one nap later and we've cleaned up axeholm best we can, so time to go back to phandalin!

…ah . uh oh. there's a shadow over phandalin. cryovain swoops down, then flies off east. BOOKIN IT TO PHANDALIN AAAAAAAAAAA

nyx: oh god, did he take the barrel crab?! green: NOOO! THE BARREL CRAAAAAAAB!

oh god. ice and talon marks outside barthen's provisions. everybody's in a panic. OH HEY SILDAR'S HERE sildar was kepesk's traveling companion! and also became barry bluejeans in another universe but that's not really relevant. rest of the wilders are in neverwinter though

NOOOO OH MY GOD CRYOVAIN STOLE VINCENT…….. MAN………………..

OH . SURE. we have gotten paid 250 gold for axeholm! also alidaar is trying to be the coolest guy in the room, sorry kepesk </3 alidaar has handed the 250 gold over to dauble. we are never getting it back

sildar: do you know where the dragon's lair is? alidaar: [nervous sweating]

oh thank god. dauble does.

sildar: i wish you best of luck as you go out to slay… the dragon of icespire peak. leo: YIIPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

(there was also some after session discussion about what dauble's deal is! apparently something that got left out of my notes TWO YEARS AGO during the dwarven excavation was that dauble got the cursed necklace from the body of a dwarven cleric. their name being dauble is a Recent Development, and it happens to translate to "treasure" or "valuable". they've become very possessive of the party, just like they've become possessive of any treasure in proximity. they dislike the moradin pendant. I'M SURE THIS IS FINE.)

The DSRC side quest does not have a ton of dialogue but it does tell a lot through the environment, so now I'm going to TED talk about how that all applies to Bahamut.

First of all dang that sure do look like a dragon/Ragnarok in the background

So it's well established that Zell is a god damn nerd. Squall doesn't know about DSRC or Battleship Island's origins until Zell brings it up. Of course he could have simply forgot but let's assume the former.

[Also oh using energy for research and profit hmm Shinra is that you]

This place is clearly abandoned for a long time. It's at the corner of bumfuck and nowhere on the map and for good reason. There was shady shit being pulled. However it does bring up a bit of curiosity, since later Squall suggest the check out the core in the room, even after being told this.

That's Bahamut warning them they will die. It's likely it's surpressing the blue light that comes from itself being a power core. It has no clue what these people are capable of, but it's likely unlucky explorers met their demise after the place was shut down. It also explains that despite being completely sealed, the front door is open.

Now we get to the fun part: the questions.

It's the truth, the party isn't there to challenge Bahamut. They don't even know it's in there. Given the likely implied experimental trauma Bahamut has had to sit with, they don't believe people brandishing weapons and slaying monsters left and right.

Thus, have fun with Ruby Dragons.

Then we get to The Big Question:

Bahamut calling them imbeciles because 'what the fuck you morons there's too many powerful monsters in here for even you to handle get the fuck out go away'

The hidden dialogue that's only revealed after you click the blank space. The game has taught us that anything in brackets is Squall's thought process. It's not a verbalized response, meaning Bahamut can just sense how he's feeling.

'There is no real reason. Maybe we were born... only to fight.'

Then Bahamut decides to reveal itself realizing the party is different. they aren't there on some power trip, they are genuinely figuring out their lot and might actually be the ones to handle Ultima Weapon in the basement.

So Bahamut introduces himself, assuming no one knows who they are whatsoever. Then we get hit with this:

I think this is a good indication that Squall knew about Bahamut. Squall hears the name and now can put a dragony face to the name. The few people that got out of DSRC with Bahamut's merciful sacrifice likely told nothing but praises about this dragon. Legends and stories lost to time as all great stories do. Given how Squall was raised, where his younger motivations were, I would not be surprised if he held on to the story of Bahamut until that jadedness set in.

How does Bahamut respond?

Bahamut has not been called a Guardian Force in LITERAL YEARS. The experimentation trauma of their powers being siphoned and misused turns into honest admittance for the party. One honest statement for another. As Zell mentioned, GF's were used in experiments. Bahamut being here with this dialogue just adds up. This statement indirectly confirms that/

After defeating your dragon truly, we get this bit of dialogue:

Thank you Meltdown for making fights easy since 1999.

Now this can mean a lot of different things. Bahamut probably has not been outside in ages. Seeing the light usually means some kind of revelation as well. This could just be Weird Translation #172.

Either way, Bahamut concedes to the party, seeing other GF's are in the party's care and likely aren't being misused for nefarious schemes or power hungry bastards. There is something else there that reminds them of the old DSRC members that showed them a fragment of kindness. The ones that wanted to do research for good.

Ones capable of beating the big bad downstairs.

Assuming Bahamut is speaking directly to Squall, even they can detect that deep seeded [pun intended] passion he has. Squall doesn't want to be remembered in the past tense. Something Bahamut can empathize with.

Bahamut decides to finally leave DSRC with the party, meaning that there's no one holding the door to the rest of the facility. It believes they are entirely capable of handling Ultima Weapon.

Which, by the way, is a bitch and a half to get to if you don't know what you're doing, and especially if you don't have Local Nerd Zell to help out.

Also Ultima Weapon is powered by the most powerful GF in the game, Eden is just hanging out in there. I'm certain that the discovery of Eden was so classified that no one on the planet knew it existed until now. Bahamut being the only exception by nature of also being a GF. Bahamut's belief in the party stopping Ultima Weapon isn't unfounded, as since Ultima Weapon is gone, the DSRC poses no ongoing thread of monsters to the world.

The absolute relief that Bahamut found capable humans would be staggering. Being able to help them freely outside of that core prison after years would be the greatest sense of relief they have felt in likely decades.

Forgot about tracking my Final Fantasy playthroughs. Played a few more since my last post (which I guess was a whole year ago now).

Looking at my trophy list for the order in which I played things…it looks like 7 Remake was the first one I tackled.

Final Fantasy VII Remake Gameplay-wise, this was solid. Was never a fan of them splitting up the story across multiple games, though actually playing it and seeing the scale they were going for, it makes sense they had to do things this way. That said, so much of this game is just padding or filler, since it's only covering what's effectively the prologue of the original game. It's nice to see the main cast get fleshed out a little through their animations and vocal performances, but I ended the game wondering how a new player who wasn't already familiar with 7 was supposed to react to the whole thing. Cuz it's not really a true remake, but a weird alternate timeline sequel thing, and you need to have already played the original to appreciate that. Anyway, the parts that focused on the original story and the main characters were good, but I'm not a fan of all the new stuff, like the Whispers, and the NPC filler-y stuff like with Johnny, Chocobo Sam, Madame M or whoever. Though the extra worldbuilding that came along with all this new stuff was really nice, I think. Made Midgar feel more alive, which is cool. Anyway, not a super big fan of this one, since it's only a partial story and it felt too padded. 6/10, I guess?

Final Fantasy V By the time I played Remake, Rebirth was already out, but my brother was still playing it, so while I waited until I could borrow his disc, I played some other stuff. 5 was next on my list, and I really enjoyed it. It's right between 6 and 4, not only in name, but in how much I liked it compared to those two. It was a more light-hearted and sort of campy story compared to the somber, dark, and melancholic moods of 4 and 6, and that was endearing - it made it a cozier experience. Also, I enjoyed seeing where all the inspiration for Krile and the Students of Baldesion in FF14 came from. (And Gilgamesh, too.) I wasn't expecting much from the story, but I liked it more than I thought I would. The cast was really good, imo, and I liked how everyone's arcs sort of bounced off each other at one point or another. I also really like how, excluding Bartz, it's basically an all-girl team by the end. That's cool. They should do that again. Anyway, yeah, really fun game. Liked it more than I thought I would. Oh, yeah, and the job system is really fun. Almost forget to mention that. Love me a good job system. They need to bring that one back. 7/10

Final Fantasy VIII I went back to this game after 5 years and finally finished it. I knew I couldn't do it on my own, so I streamed it, and having people to talk to while I trudged through the game worked wonders. Don't think I would've been able to finish without that. Anyway, I ended up liking the game more than I thought I would by the end. And now that I actually have a solid grasp on the mechanics, I could definitely see a younger version of myself getting super lost in the grind and spending hours mix-maxing my stats and GFs or whatever, just experimenting with everything. I understand how so many people who had this be their first FF game as a kid wound up loving it. It truly is a game of all time. As for the story, it was pretty cool, I guess. Went places I didn't expect, and everything surrounding Squall and Rinoa was really well done, I think. The themes it tackled was done pretty beautifully, and I ended up liking the cast a bit more by the end, even if I still don't actually care about any of them besides Squall, Rinoa, and Selphie lol. And the final dungeon is really good. So yeah, I'm glad I went back to finish it. 7/10.

Final Fantasy II Technically, I started 7 Rebirth before playing this, but I finished this one first, so I'm listing it first. Uhh…this is a game, I guess? Like, it's super inoffensive, I suppose, just kinda generally boring. Not a super fleshed out cast, and the gameplay is pretty weird. Dunno if I like the whole "no level, but just increase each individual stat by grinding" thing it had going on. But again, like with all the Pixel Remasters, I just used the boosters to cheese my way through. 4x boosts to leveling spells and everything made me pretty hard to kill outside certain events. I'm assuming the original version didn't have running speed and a minimap, so these dungeons must've been fucking awful to get through. Just hours of getting lost and frustrated, I guess. Sounds terrible. I got the feeling that the dungeons in this game were just designed to annoy players and waste their time. But thanks to the Remaster features, they weren't bad. But still, yeah, it's just a generally whatever game. 5/10?

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth I just do not know how they made this game. The scope, the scale, the detail, everything is just…wow. It feels like this game should've been impossible to make. Especially since I read they did it in just 3 years? Like, that's insane. Anyway, they pulled off something crazy special, and crazy good. I'm still not a fan of the new story stuff - and all the Zack stuff was really weird and pointless - but the adventure was sure a fun one, all the same. Loved arriving at each new area, and loved doing all the sidequests and filling in the maps. Loved the combat. I even ended up loving characters I didn't like from the original: Yuffie and Cait, especially. It's a wonder what great voice acting and extra screentime can do for a character. I think everyone in Cloud's party benefited from this. They're all so well developed by the end. And everyone's gameplay style is really fun if you get it down pat. I think I mainly played as Cloud, Aerith, and Yuffie by the end. Aerith's ward system and Yuffie's ranged ninjutsu stuff is so satisfying when you pull it off right. I just had a lot of fun with all that. And even though I feel like it might be overwhelming to get all the sidequests done, honestly??? I didn't mind. But again, I was streaming and engaging with chat while doing it, so that made it more fun and not like a grind. Though, just like with the first game, all the new NPC sidequest characters are pretty annoying or boring, and I kinda zoned out during cutscenes cuz I just do not care about Billy's parents or whatever. But the extra development you get for the main cast via these sidequests was worth it, I'd say. It's fun to see everyone get closer as they progress their journey, like seeing Barret and Yuffie play fighting in the background, or Aerith and Tifa high-fiving and giggling with each other over something. I'm tempted to give the game a 10/10, but in all honesty, there is still a bit too much padding for my liking, like Remake. Esp with the minigames, though most of them are optional, thankfully. But on the topic of minigames, it's crazy just how much of a variety of them there are - like one is just straight up the Gambit System from 12, which made me excited (though the minigame itself sucked dick). I can't give the developers enough props for what they did with this game. It's so polished, and so big. I can't wait for the finale of the trilogy - even if I'm still not a huge fan of the new story beats. 9/10, at the very least, for sure. They nailed it.

I'm almost done with all the mainline games, now. I don't think I'm ever going to play 1 or 3, though. I watched a playthrough of 1 when Stranger of Paradise was coming out, and there's not much to it. Don't care about 3, but maybe if I'm bored? And I still really want to play the 13 trilogy, but Square needs to put them on PS5 first.

Once I play them all and know all the characters, I'll get into the crossover stuff like Dissidia. Don't want to play them without context on who everyone is first.

tuesday - wednesday

gf is still at work.

and i feel really hideous, like i look at my face, i see so much wrong with it, and i feel like my hair is stupid and making my face look long and other words i can use that will hurt my own feelings, a bunch of stuff re: dysphoria basically. unpleasant. i do not like that i feel like i can't even know what i actually look like. the image shifts and i can't gather what i am at all. it's just like... ugly. i feel so ugly and like i look at my face and wonder if it's always seemed so masculine or if tomorrow i'll wake up and feel fine. it's so weird. maybe it's just being inside a lot right now.

anyway, today i re-did some lyrics, so tomorrow i should be ready to try them out.

i also got a new song mostly written, roughly, i think i need to work on making it easier to follow though. there's a little synth in it that kind of makes some moments weird to follow, i need to mix it down i think. that and some drum patterns are weird, maybe i need to also mix out some mids from the snare so the guitar comes through a little more, and boost that too.

i didn't do too much else today... i feel like i am giving myself a bit of option paralysis right now, with music, there's anxiety working on stuff cuz i don't wanna deal with crashes, that paired with the fact that i have a lot of material waiting to be worked on, + new ideas already written out like those tabs (i need to do some more of that it's very fun), there's a lot here for an ep or however many i want to do. i'm happy for that, of course, and i'm deciding maybe the hard limit on time should be like 15-20 mins on this one. we'll see where i end up, but i guess at minimum, 21-22 minutes (extra 1-2 minutes as flex time but really i would prefer under 20 but over 15...).

anyway,,, i listened to the whole ep this song is off of today, crazy views on this i forgot abt that:

the overall effect this song has feels very mr. oizo, while not really sounding like it at all. the chiptune synth is rather pristine, all the sounds are, but it feels so cheap and scuzzy still, really great thing, that.

another song i spent a while looking for this morning, talking about that one japanese idol group with all the dots in their name, they were dancing to this fred frith no wave release, the band's called massacre, the frith thing, but it got me on the thought train of j pop no wave, and i had to go and hunt for this:

i'd never seen the video before!!!! it's like the inside of my head!!!!!!!! it's like everything i like, and the song too, it's so funny, when i heard it like, in 2018 it must have been, it was so special to me.

also yesterday i was revisiting teenage jesus and the jerks, to keep it on no wave, i hadn't heard them for such a long time, but they're still very very good, to me at least, and i guess it's more about the inventive guitar thrashing and lydia's vocals, the drums aren't as energetic as i'd like, i guess, they are rather minimal, which is fine and maybe i should think about working with drums like that more, cuz i do have a tendency to make some stuff toooooo messy. or idk. not too messy, cuz i like it. but you know, it makes problems, but they're problems worth having for me i suppose, anyway here's a track i like a lot:

love the scrape of the geetarzzz here, it's funny, when i first heard them, it must have been before this compilation had come out, because i was stuck with this other one that had this cover on spotify, this was back in highschool, so it must have been in 2015 before that comp w/ lydia on the cover + pink came out (oh, i guess it was actually just reissued then, how odd, it was not online before then, i think it also came with a remaster, though, the 1995 comp does sound a little different) or before then in 2014:

it's such a vivid memory to me because my parents took away my headphones because of something dumb i don't really want to get into, and i still wanted to listen to my dumb fucked up music, so i was playing this on the computer in the dining room, where my computer had to be and stuff, and my mom walked up to me and asked wtf i was listening to, not that she's not into weirder stuff, she tried to get me into zappa around that time, but honestly he doesn't do too much for me, i have a friend who has had better luck with him though, anyway, it was so embarrassing for me, to be caught like that, but it's what i liked. soooo whateverrrrrrrr.

here's something else and then i gotta sleep:

i never heard this / saw it, idk why he'd delete this because the music video is at least probably one of the best of the last decade. not really even exaggerating it feels like a meditation on the weird place violence has in american youth culture and the runoff from videogames, where it's like this derealized cruelty, and then all the sports imagery, it's like from within these really american/western feeling things, at least portrayed at their most american, like paintball and airsoft, military fetishism, the fortnite dance in the football field, that part's like, it blows my mind a little. idk how he made that work as a poignant moment, it's like, humorous of course, it knows, and still it works. that is special! it feels super observant of our surroundings and the undercurrent that's got no recourse outside of like, the avoidance / attempt to sublimate / impossibility of reckoning with it, the impossibility as like, an excuse to just ignore, you know, like the girl just kind of looking like an ad for vr headsets, the super commercial look of the whole thing, the perfect cameras for most of it, everything with that wal-mart / best-buy tv demo sheen, but it's all pointed and a little venomous, it's like, got teeth in the eagerness to avoid, you know. it's crazy, anyway back to my points re: it using stuff that's so american, it's like reaching some kind of actual american denpa thing almost. not the music but the kinda stuff that came out that people describe as denpa in anime and movies. also like the willingness to have that little interlude part with the guitar in the middle of the track sound like pure buttrock is crazy. like what the hell. that's bold as hell. damon rush is definitely kind of a #genius rn. he could outlast the hellp maybe. we will see though. i really love the shot of the fortnite dance in the football field... that and the part where they're shooting the shirtless kid with paintballs... and when he gets the ball kicked into his head. the pseudo execution scene is like. it's soooo loaded!! it really feels crazy to see idk. it's a very exciting piece of art . for me .

anyway , i have to sleep now

so

byebye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
