holding your face in my hands and sending spirals directly into your eyes.

You have to think about cbeeduo happy and in love. Think about them sharing pijamas at night - because ranboo's a twig even if he's tall, so tubbo's short ass pjs still hang onto his frame. You have to think about them making breakfast together in the morning; tubbo's cooking at the counter, something simple and earthy that his son likes, and ranboo is sitting on the table singing silly songs, because he likes to sing and tubbo likes his singing and he's banned from ever touching the stove, anyway. Ranboo sings a lot, actually. His voice his really nice, he's got a massive vocal range, and he doesnt need to worry about being heard anymore. Sometimes he sings so pretty tubbo can't help but kiss the notes out of his mouth, which is most times than not. Tubbo keeps building and he keeps inventing. Not only explosives, even though they're fun, because he doesn't need aggression or power. Sometimes it's just a modified pair of shears, because tommy's hands hurt sometimes but the sheep still need shearing. Sometimes it's a new chessboard, tiny and small, made for inexperienced little hands. sometimes its a cup with a way taller lid and a built in straw, so ranboo can drink his tea with him in the evenings without burning the corners of his mouth.

They drink tea in front of the fire, and ranboo reads a book outloud so they can both enjoy it. Their voice sounds like singing even when they aren't. Tubbo chimes in to do silly voices for all the characters, and to guess how the story will go - he's almost never right, but he's always funny.

Later, when they stumble in their bed, tired and happy and sappy and content, only laughter can be heard.

isn't it crazy that twice in mwii, both in las almas (you'll need to improvise to survive) and in chicago (like good old times, eh LT?) - at central moments of the story no less - soap is left without weapons (you'll need to improvise to survive). having to fight himself out of a hopeless situation with his bare hands and ingenuity (welcome to guerilla warfare).

and both times, there is ghost in his ear telling him what to do (look for supplies- things you can make tools with), guiding him (i just need a weapon - make one), encouraging him (that's the way, johnny) praising him (a man after my own heart), all to ensure that he makes it through.

twice, soap is left without weapons or training to fall back onto. and twice, he survives anyway. because he has ghost. (be smart with what you've got. that's the trick...)

Alan Wake Night Springs DLC spoilers and thoughts:

This is very vague, but this really was the most Remedy thing to ever exist. My brain exploded at some point from Everything. Good game—you can tell those developers had the time of their life making all this. looking forward to the Lake House as something more serious and similar to the main game/tone.

Episode one with Rose was the best! Stunning from the start until the end and had the funniest moments in any Remedy game. [Rose voice] “𝖎 𝖜𝖎𝖑𝖑 𝖕𝖗𝖔𝖙𝖊𝖈𝖙 𝖞𝖔𝖚”

That fanart was SO good and could’ve been drawn by any irl Alan Wake fan. I can’t even say another or act like it’s embarrassing because I also think Alan is hot. So. Same Rose.

Bad boy Scratch being a werewolf.. Cat boy Alan (and the fucking Nightmare on Elm Street crop top fanart of him) being comically weak and in distress.. Rose dipping him at the end was unbelievably hilarious. Reject alpha male Scratch and embrace wet cat Alan. Every few minutes I had to remind myself that Alan technically wrote this,, his mind,, his perception of himself is incredible

That episode also was fun all around to play. Endless ammo and fun effects with the automatic shotgun. Rose slowly getting covered in blood. She’s already one of my favorite characters after this—she’s cringey in the best (and scarily realistic) ways. I support her

Episode 2: wish this one was longer because I missed Jesse and her awkward and aggressive conversations with others. I thought Dylan would pop up at some point, but of course Alan wrote himself into this twist ending. Couldn’t stop laughing with that. It felt just like the Night Springs eps of Alan Wake 1 lol.

I had the most trouble with some of the sections of this game, but it was fun, mostly just felt like a fool for not initially understanding it. The secret agency and clear references to the Board and FBC were everything. It was just Control: Coffee edition.

Episode 3: Death Rally Tom !! I was beyond happy seeing this. Always nice to see more Zane.

I’m not very familiar with Quantum Break outside of the general story and beginning, so the last episode was So Much. Initial thought: Please no Jesse and Tim in Control 2. It’s almost certainly supposed to be because of Quantum Break, but that version of her waiting for Tim came out of nowhere for me lol (also 😔 because I either want her to be with Emily or not get with someone at all—Control Jesse is so far from Beth Quantum Break/Lisa imo). The “but maybe…” multiverse romance was. whatever. cheesy but in a more negative way.

Another thing that makes me somewhat relieved this is the whacky DLC is that it does address a lot of the vague unanswered questions of the game in the typical sci-fi way (and probably a big win for theorists), and I want to keep that away from most of the main games. I like not knowing things lmao. It’s not a huge deal and I love all the crossovers/realities, but I want future AW (if 3 happens) and Control games to still largely focus on the mysterious horror without anything too definitive or distracting. I’m mostly okay with it here because this is Also an episode written by Alan and hosted by Door, so it’s not reliable—even if I’m sure this is what Remedy envisions when writing these games.

^ something something “In a horror story the victim keeps asking why, but there can be no explanation and there shouldn't be one. The unanswered mystery is what stays with us the longest and is what we'll remember in the end.”

However looooved how the third episode changed the style of the game repeatedly. The very last scene where the words form the writers room and Alan before it abruptly ends was great and the standout of the ep.

I’m not going to try to unpack all this, but it’s interesting how Alan and Door present themselves as being these largely antagonistic forces in this DLC. They’re an underrated duo (the two Masters of Many Worlds). Everything felt like it was Alan purposefully trying to imprint on these realities and influence things in his writing, making certain things parallel his life and circumstances. Reminded me of him attempting to get the irl Koskela brothers to kill each other to get out of the Dark Place. Hard to tell what’s really the truth.

I like Door too much to be scared of him. The jump scares were nicely paced throughout and the echoes of Tim/Shawn/Jack fighting him were interesting.

The tribute for James McCaffrey at the end was emotional and lovely.

I have so many thoughts on these sketches

[bastardcherub]

want someone stretching me out on their cock as I whine, it’s way too big for my tight hole but they praise me as they continue their relentless bullying into me. my eyes roll back as they finally hilt, absolute putty in their hands. and so they shush me, tell me to let them take care of me as they wrap their arms around me, and start fucking me silly
