#Super Dodgeball Beats

[freddie-77-ao3]

garden games camp half blood has banned, a non extensive list:

tag. any version of tag. a lot of kids can teleport/shadow travel or have super speed, and the ones that don't DO NOT appreciate playing tag with them. It wasn't officially banned until cecil, connor, and chris teamed up in what became known as the "battle of the c's" and demolished everyone (all 263 kids playing) within three minutes and fifty-eight seconds. travis still has nightmares.

Freeze tag in particular was banned when someone with winter/ice powers misunderstood and actually ended up freezing a couple of demigods. Poor Chris never looked the same.

ring around the rosie. fun fact, this is how michael yew got claimed! yeah... not actually fun considering he started going on about how the song was about the bubonic plague and then GAVE clarisse the bubonic plague because... it sounded like a good idea at the time?

Red Light Green Light. Again, teleportation/superspeed. It had fallen out of favour, but was officially banned when five year olds Will and Connor both ended up in the infirmary because Connor kept cheating, Will got mad and started yelling, and a tree nymph got mad and tripped both of them.

Sharks and Minnows: surprisingly, not a superspeed/teleportation related ban. No, it got banned when nine year old Clarisse tripped Michael so she could make her way to freedom, but Michael fell into Annabeth and she fell too... Annabeth beat both of them up for causing her to lose. Miranda still talks about how she won. Annabeth still glares every time Miranda talks about it.

Simon Says. Sherman won all of Ares Cabin's cash by saying Simon Says give your money to Sherman, and Ares cabin refuses to back down from a challenge. This then turned into a riot when Sherman didn't give the money back.

duck duck goose. there's already an incorrect quote about "fuck, fuck, shit", need I say more? yes, actually, because that's not why it was banned. It was banned because travis gave beckendorf a concussion by hitting his head too hard.

musical chairs. they broke the chairs. the steel, extra reinforced chairs. because instead of playing, they were fighting over who's music to turn on.

dodgeball: certain someones (ellis and cecil) swapped out the dodgeballs for firework grenades. aka fireworks that are motion activated. that only activate when they hit their target. Auto banned... after it happened for the third time.

The floor is lava: michael climbed lee like a tree to win, and so did clarisse. Lee fell over. carrying several jars of nectar. yeah...

jump ropes with rhymes: apollo cabin is very creative when it comes to coming up with rhymes. a little too creative. banned.

hide and seek: so many incidents. so many. also malcolm kept winning and drew kept getting mad, and they started fighting, which meant they both lost...

I FINALLY GOT ACCESS TO ISSUE 71 OMG

this took forever but finally i get to see him!! spoilers ahead :3

first of all, amazing cover. jet and the gang look amazing just in that one snippet

extreme gear dodgeball... thats interesting, reminds me of the multiplayer modes in riders zg that was not racing but fun!

HOW DARE YOU MAKE MY BOY ANGRY wave helping jet focus is nice like in zero gravity 💚

the rouges being in shock is always so funny, im glad to see wave and storm join in on the fun 💚

WOAHHH LOL dang sonic's going hard!!

i now headcannon wave has a mindfullness youtube video she makes jet begrudgingly watch LOL 💚

i love seeing them using their gear more, it fuels my autism 💚💚💚

THIS IS SO FREAKING FUNNY I LOVE IT, AND HOW DARE SHE CRASH IN JETS GEAR!! anyway love him /p 💚

AMAZING I WANNA SEE HIM ANGRYYY, BEAT THEM UP JET!!! 💚100 gonna use this part for art ref because it looks so good

the silence is so loud in this picture i love it, i wonder what jets gonna do? 😊

oh my gosh this is so heartbreaking actually what the heck- ALSO WAVE TELLING JET TO RUN IS SO ON POINT

the story telling via art is on point, theres not much words needed to convey the emotions the characters are feeling

THEY HAVE A NEW ROOM, I REPEAT THEY HAVE A KITCHEEEEEEEEN, storm being the cook fits so well i love it.

the food (curry im guessing) fits their background and double points for looking extra yummy.

jet's first sentence fits him so well, im really glad they're doing good depiction with him and everything relating to them, considering the idw special where jewel broke her wing SUCKED because of idw ppl not thinking about where jet lives on the ship, so they made it SUPER inacurate.

it makes me happy to see storm contributing and not being a stupid fat joke like in free riders. we need to appreciate this silly guy who got brain damage from amy hitting him many times, and he still manages to fulfil jets orders.

storm doing this with his eyes is as good as his eyes in free riders, but way better than his weird blink in the zero gravity black hole cutscene

jet being ahead of the game and i love it!!! NEW MISSION LETS GOOO!!!!!! 💚💚💚💚

these riders designs are really helping me in the future with my own oc 🫶

OMG THE WIFE OF THE TRAIN CONDUCTOR FROM MURDER OF SONIC THE HEDGEHOG!!!

ouch my heart

oh gosh thats so sweet but sad ugh

jet has become more thoughtful! i just hope he doesn't lose his edge, but even if he does i'll love him anyway /p 💚

i love how much talented ppl are in this community, im so glad for more jet content via idw and fan creations. jet needs all the praise and love. 💚

Overall i loved this idw issue, i can always make the excuse " use more jet content!" but they did a really good job with expressing all the characters fairly. (still, i still want more jet tho :P)

i waited so long for this issue its crazy, idk why it took so long to come out digitally since i don't have the money to buy them in person.

knowing more rooms, might create an accurate layout of their blimp soon!

anyway, i got a gaming pc and not a stupid mac earlier this week, meaning that i can finally play free riders yayy!!!

Jay as a Mentor Headcanons:

Jay as a mentor and combat trainer to young students would defs try to make training fun

Tries to make a safe space for his queer and neurodivergent students

Focus on speed!!!!

Everyone has running training ;-;

He would use dodgeball to teach the kids evasive manoeuvres as well as lazer tag and paint ball to practice military tactics, battle strategies and teamwork (to everyone else it looks like he’s messing around but he has a purpose to it)

Sets video games as homework to improve hand eye coordination and speed of information processing

When it comes to hand to hand combat, he pairs students against each other based on matching skill levels (poor baby still remembers constantly being beat at hand to hand combat when he trained with the others)

Super chill but still keeps the kids in line

Gets into petty arguments and debates with the kids about sci-fi related stuff but always has long winded and surprisingly rational supporting points

Eg: Batman vs. Superman and Godzilla vs. Kong

100% accepts dares and challenges from students, pathologically can’t say no

Hypothetically if elemental masters could choose students to give their powers to (like how Zane was chosen to have ice powers) and Jay could transfer his powers to his students, he would let each of them focus on the aspect of electricity that they wanted

Eg: the brute force of electricity, healing capacities and bio electricity, speed based attacks, electric weaponry etc.

Other RSV Spirit's Eve costumes ideas

Since it's October, and just over a year since the RSV seasonal outfits mod was released, I thought it'd be fun to share some of the costume ideas we didn't end up going with from our brainstorming doc. These ideas were ultimately passed over for a variety of reasons (already worn by a different npc, too real world-specific, liked a different option better, etc.), but still would've been great to see... soooo here you go!

(If a character isn't listed, that's just bc we didn't have any extra ideas for them. Also, in case you wanted a refresher, here's a list of the costumes we did end up going with! Also also, bc I can't help myself, I added in some ideas as I was making this post - those ones are in [brackets].)

I'm curious to hear others' ideas too, so if you have any, feel free to share in the reblogs/replies! ^^

[kindlespark]

Which of the ratgrinders would be good at P.E Dodgeball and which ones would crush at Monopoly? (Or really any board game you think it would be fun to think about them playing in the downtime)

THIS IS SO FUN ok so i think oisin would be the obvious answer for dodgeball seeing as he got buff over summer BUT i think he's not used to his strength or size yet and is still super clumsy. so i think the answer is actually ivy bc she's got the sharp reflexes and the competitive streak. the latter being what mary ann is missing else she would also own the dodgeball field. (also bc she's so tiny she'd be great at dodging.... i forgot kobolds were so small... the art did NOT reflect that).

for monopoly i think kipperlilly's mastermind rogue thing makes her strategy crazy but sometimes mary ann gives her a run for her money bc she's the type of gamer who spends all her time on forums learning the best strategies for her collector card games and she'll sneak up on kipperlilly FOR SURE especially because she's so quiet and nonchalant. the first time mary ann beat her kipperlilly promised herself she'd never underestimate mary ann ever again (and then lost to ruben because she got too singularly focussed).

i think they let buddy win games sometimes out of pity <3

Dexter (Updated)

Powers, Abilities, and Weapons

Despite having no superpowers, Dexter is a force to be reckoned with:

Super-Genius Intelligence: Dexter is one of the smartest humans on Earth, who despite his young age created his own lab and have made great discoveries and scientific inventions.

Chemical Intuition: Likely a result of his own master-intelligence, Dexter possesses a chemical intuition, allowing him to understand chemistry on high level and do research in the field.

Master Mechanic and Inventor: Dexter has master-intellect which allows him to create and repair scientific wonders and sci-fi machinery. His list of inventions includes but aren’t limited to:

Chodenji Yoyo:

Dexo-Transformer: An exoskeleton designed to use it in order to beat some bullies during dodgeball practise, later used against the Powerpuff Girls.

Glasses:

Gynoid:

Laboratory:

Large Hadron Collider:

Lasergun:

Lightsaber:

Magnet Hookshot:

Monkey:

Portal:

Powergauntlet:

Powergloves:

Set Squares:

Supercomputer:

Hand-to-hand Combat: Despite his small stature and geeky appearance, he does possess a basic hand-to-hand combat skill.

Marksman: Dexter has shown to be able to throw geometry triangles and “Dexterrangs” like boomerangs and ninja stars, with a high accuracy. He also is able to fire a grappling magnet with that same accuracy.

Mecha Piloting: Dexter is a capable Mecha Pilot and has used this to pilot several of his own mechas.

Swordmanship: Dexter is able to wield a rapier and light saber in battle.

Appearance

Dexter is a bit short, although somewhat taller than in his original appearance. He has ginger curly hair with some spikes at his crown and a short mullet. He still wears his semi-circular glasses. but it is revealed that he has blue eyes. Most of the times he is seen wearing a white lab-coat, the top half buttoned while the bottom is left unbuttoned. Underneath he wears a normal black shirt. He wears blue pants and are stuck into his black boots. In addition to that he also wears purple gloves. In his school uniform he still wears the same only his white lab shirt more open.

Personality

Dexter is a supremely brilliant boy with a vast knowledge of all sciences. Though American, Dexter speaks in a Russian accent. However, Dexter also possesses a massive ego and hates all things that are stupid. But unlike the TV series, he’s notably more mature in personality being less arrogant and more caring, especially since he’s a member of the Genie Team. Despite being excessively irritated with Dee Dee due to her constant interference and stupidity in the past, he still loves her and cares about her.

As a side note: after meeting the Twin Cities Zephyr twins, Jimmy Goard and Jerry Guord, Dexter called Ratchet and Wheeljack and told the two about what the two streamliners said about his lab recieving Cybertronian upgrades and Cybertronian supercomputers. After Zachery (me) explored the lab with Ash, May, Max, Ukyo, Shampoo, Norman and Caroline, Dexter’s Laboratory received those Cybertronian upgrades from Ratchet and Wheeljack, who used Cybertronian technology to make the lab even greater. Dexter, after being taught by the two Autobots on how to use the Cybertronian upgrades, is very greatful and uses the Cybertronian-upgraded technology to make his inventions and uses the Cybertronian-upgraded computers to type away at. Some of these Cybertronian-upgraded computers are the same type as the one seen in the Project Chimera segments of the show “Transformers Prime”, albeit with lights+shades of blue and white rather than orange and yellow. And these computers have a similar function; Cybertronian robotic engineering and robotic construction. There are also Cybertronian-upgraded supercomputers that Dexter uses to keep files of his experiments safe and some of the Cybertronian-upgraded supercomputers are used to analyze ancient languages and decipher them, as well as being able to help identify different animal species and being in frequent contact with the Autobots on Cybertron. And last but not least, Dexter uses the regular supercomputers and the Cybertronian-upgraded supercomputers to analyze and identify the best strategies for the Genie Team to use when facing baddies, kinda like Sailor Mercury’s visor and little supercomputer. He also uses the supercomputers to analyze and create blueprints for any future inventions. The boy genius also has a collection of iPad Pro sized iPads with holographic screens (like in detective pikachu). And Dexter was also given a collection of exosuits (similar to the one as seen in rise of the beasts) to use whenever he needs to or if his Dexo-Transformer (the exoskeleton he used against Buttercup) gets fatally damaged.

L-over?

[Part 4 of Chaos L-ove]

Click here to read on AO3

Warnings: Super Paper Mario spoilers, side character death, Blumiere and Timpani angst.

Summary: Dimentio continues with his plan, he will get Mr. L back, no matter the cost.

“So, you spit upon my offer? You've wasted my time. For that, your game ends.” Dimentio smirked. “I think I'll start with the green one, the shag upon his lip will make a fine trophy!”

“Shag?! This mustache is all Luigi!” Luigi frowned, “leave this one to me, bro, you run ahead, you've got worlds to save..!”

Mario hesitated.

“Run for it, bro!” Luigi begged, not wanting his brother to be hurt by Dimentio.

Mario ran off with Tippi and the Pixls.

“Thanks, bro…”

It's Luigi vs Dimentio now. Exactly as planned.

Dimentio will fake his own death and then steal the chaos heart. It's all running smoothly. Humans are so predictable.

Dimentio laughed, “how tender, I just squeezed out a tear. Yes… Mario can run along. And if he somehow managed to defeat Count Bleck on his own, all the better!”

Dimentio rose in the air, preparing to attack. “And so I strike, like an unseen dodgeball in an echoing gymnasium!!” He launched a magical attack at Luigi.

A fight started, but ended very quickly. After all, Dimentio planned this fight to be won by Luigi.

“Noooo!” Dimentio cried out, falling to the ground, “i-i cry uncle! Mercy! Uncle, I say!”

“had enough, Dimentio? I didn't need my superstar bro to take you on!” Luigi cheered for himself, thinking he's finally gotten rid of the dark magician.

“I-i see that now… your power is formidable…” he got up, teleporting right in front of Luigi. “Which is exactly why I can't let you fall into Count Bleck's velvet-lined gloves…”

“Wh-what are you doing?!” Luigi started to panic, seeing his rival fully recovered. His breath started to quicken.

Dimentio laughed again, “I have you now! Luigi! We will both taste the agony of game-overing… by magic!” Dimentio raised his hands, a clear box surrounded them both.

Luigi's eyes jumped from Dimentio to the box and from the box to Dimentio. “N-n-n-no!” Luigi whimpered, terrified.

“Ciao!” Dimentio snapped his fingers, explosions quickly enveloping the two.

He quickly planted a Floro Sprout seed in Luigi's brain before disappearing. His plan was executed perfectly. Now, Mario should fight Bleck.

Soon… Dimentio will have the chaos heart and Mr. L, all for himself.

—

Dimentio rushed into Nastasia's room, snapping his fingers, “I won't lose.” He whispered as he exploded the assistant, ending her game.

Dimentio laughed, his plan no longer had any flaws. He is going to win.

He stared at Nastasia's lifeless corpse. His smile grew wider with each passing moment.

This… this was the right timeline.

He teleported to the room Bleck and Mario would fight in, keeping his invisibility spell at the ready.

—

Dimentio stands, watching as the heros beat Count Bleck.

“Ex.. Excellent…” Count Bleck fell to the floor, held weakly by his hands, defeated. “You have won…”

Peach raised an eyebrow, Bowser tilted his head.

“Now finish Count Bleck…” Bleck mumbled, “Dispatch me and the Chaos Heart will disappear. The prophecy will be undone…”

Tippi flew forward, her wings fluttering in front of Bleck, “why does it have to end like this…?”

“Timpani… When you vanished, I searched long for you. I never gave up looking…” a tear rushed down Bleck's face, “I searched and searched…” he shook his head, “But I never found you.”

There was a moment of silence before the Count continued, “without you, the world held no meaning or joy… So I used the forbidden prophecy to end all worlds. I wanted to destroy everything that had taken you away from me…” his voice was full of guilt and pain.

“But I am here now… No one can keep us apart anymore… Don't you see?” Tippi begged him to understand, they could be together, they could love each other again.

“It is too late. Count Bleck has done so much evil… it must end.” Another tear ran down his face, “Just knowing that you are still alive… And knowing that the world you still live in will continue… It gives me peace.” He gave a weak smile.

Tippi wanted to hold him, but her Pixl form was so restrictive…

“I do not have long to live. You must end my game before The Void destroys all…” Count Bleck closed his eyes, accepting his fate.

“But… we're finally together again…” Tippi cried.

Dimentio charged his attack, and with a single wave of his hand, Count Bleck was hit, unconscious.

“Finally! The Count is gone.” Dimentio revealed himself, and floated behind the chaos heart, which he could now take, his plan was executed flawlessly. “Now he finally has the everlasting peace he so desperately wanted!”

“Dimentio?! You're… alive?” Tippi asked, panicking.

Dimentio laughed, “of course. This is my moment! Even if the Count dies, the Chaos Heart won't disappear if I continue to control it! But I needed the power of the pure hearts to beat him… I couldn't do that on my own. So I had you do all of the sweaty labor for me. And you even used all your pure hearts to defeat Count Bleck!”

Mario clenched his fists.

“If they make greeting cards to thank people for helping with evil plans, I owe you one.” the jester joked.

“What are you saying?!” Tippi was on the verge of breaking, you could hear the pain in her voice become overwhelming.

“I'm saying that you no longer have value to me, so I'm ending your games.” Dimentio's smile widened. “They're all yours, Mr. L!!”

Luigi rushed in front of him. “Huh?! Uh… oh. AAAAAACK! Why am I flapping my arms!? Oh, this… This isn't good!” The green hero's confusion and fear were visible on his face.

Dimentio snapped his fingers with a joy he's yet to feel before.

With a flash of rainbow lights, a fully grown Floro Sprout appeared on Luigi's head, piercing through his hat and into his mind.

“I AM MR. L!” He called, “Master Dimentio… What is your bidding?”

Dimentio smiled so wide it was painful, he didn't even feel the pain.

“When… Did this happen?!” Bowser asked.

“When I sent Luigi here, I planted a seed in the fertile soil of his unconscious…” Dimentio’s gaze fixated on the plant. “And now that seed has sprouted SPECTACULARLY!!” His excitement was almost enough to distract him from the Chaos Heart and his plan. Almost.

Dimentio raised the Chaos Heart into the air. “Mr. L… Run along now and get ready for your big entrance.” He ordered the hero.

Luigi, still trapped under the influence of the Floro Sprout, obeyed.

“Now… ladies and gentlemen… get ready for the greatest magic show you'll ever see!” Dimentio sent the Chaos Heart to L, starting the creation of ‘The Ultimate Brobot’, a large jester creature that shares traits with Luigi/Mr. L and Dimentio.

“GREEEEEEEN!” the creature called.

“LUIGI?!” Bowser tried to make sense of the situation.

“The Dark Prognosticus says he's the ideal host for the power of the Chaos Heart.” Dimentio explained. “...And now I'm going to add my own power to this spicy little concoction.”

“No... Stop!” Tippi demanded.

“You two are so pathetic, I nearly forgot about you. I'll squeeze the life out of you later. Just wait over in my dimension, okay? Great.” Dimentio teleported Count Bleck’s unconscious body and Tippi to Dimension-D.

He entered the mouth of the chaos creature, taking control of it.

“Now the Chaos Heart is mine! I will use it to destroy all worlds… and create perfect new ones! So, shall we get started? Now I have all I need… to become the KING OF ALL WORLDS!!” He finished.

The heros rushed to attack.

Inside the The Ultimate Brobot, Luigi was held in place by a forest of vines, the Floro Sprout still stuck deep in his brain.

The heros attacked and attacked, with no success.

Dimentio laughed, “I am now invincible! There is nothing you can do! And now it is time for the destruction to begin…Let it begin with you, as you wallow in helplessness like upside-down turtles!”

“L-POWER!” L screamed.

The world shook as all universes were sucked into the endless void of destruction.

This was the end, could the heroes win? Or will Dimentio end up on a throne?

[yhs-x-reader]

HII OMG YHS BLOG!! For some reason I was super fixated on Domrao the entire series.. maybe some pinning headcanons for him? :0 love your work so far!

oh my gosh my first request !! Thank you so much for this, it means a lot to me /gen!! Dom has always been one of my favorites but his characterization is slightly trick for me, so I hope it’s alright! Sorry for taking a while, too :( request again if you feel like it! 💕💕

︶︶︶ ⊹ ︶︶︶ ୨♡୧ ︶︶︶ ⊹ ︶︶︶

Okay so First off, this guy… COMPLETELY confused at his own feelings. Dom has never been the best with articulating his thoughts (he much rather deal with things in violence), but with a swirl of emotions that feel so utterly soft, he, for once, isn’t completely sure that his fists are the best way to go…

Of course, he first has to confide in Prime. He talks about how you’re always on his mind, and about how much he just wants to squeeze you or something. You get his heart pounding, just like the adrenaline he gets from beating up Sam! Just— what an enigma you are, though, because for some reason… he can’t think of you as annoying.

I mean, sure, the feelings that you’re causing are annoying; but you, yourself? Dom ends up balling his fists and biting his knuckles, unsure of how to explain his strange thoughts. Wasn’t it weird for him to be thinking of you as… cute? Funny? Cool? Maybe he just wanted to be your friend, or —

…Oh no.

While ranting to Prime, Dom stops mid-sentence as he realizes what the hell is happening in his head. He’s in love. AND HE DOESN’T LIKE IT.

Except he kind of does, because now whenever you look at him he gets really happy and — OH NO OH SHIT OH FUCK

Dom was never really an artsy kid, finding PE to be his more suitable favorite subject, but now he spends his classes trying to figure out how to write some sort of… confession. I mean, the guy is nervous about how he feels, but he’s simultaneously determined about getting what he wants. If he can make a poem, maybe you like it! That’s what romantic people do, right?? And—

“You’re losing your touch!” Sam would yell at him, knocking him out of a dodgeball round. How had it even turned into PE?? WHY WAS HE SO UNFOCUSED? Oh right — you.

Dom tries not to do anything super cheesy, like write love notes or get paired up with you in classes, but he totally wants to. Even though all his written confessions get crumpled up, Invader and Prime can definitely tell. (And invader is determined to get you two together!)

OH BUT he’s definitely the type to try-hard in PE to try and impress you!!

Overall, he tries to keep up his tough guy persona, but he’s still emotional and brash. So… he’s confused.

[nokingsonlyfooles]

No dodgeball, please

I have verbal difficulties. Not a stutter, like Biden. I "lose my words," as I am supposed to say, to be nice, but I don't always say it like that because I lose my words. It takes extra effort for me to communicate the way people expect me to communicate, and when I can't, and I hear myself making more and more pauses and errors, it snowballs.

This, the way the media is covering this, is not fucking fair. Everyone trips over language sometimes, and people who have to work harder to talk will do it more. Period. Now, that can't have been all that was going on at the debate, but every last misstep is not another indication the man is going senile.

HOWEVER, the media blitz that Biden is spearheading to stave off rumours of senility would take a toll from anyone - let alone someone who has to work extra hard to talk. His campaign team are requiring him to talk, and talk, and fly somewhere, and talk some more, and then everyone combs over what he said wrong, and they report it or make fun of it or tell him he has to stop screwing up like that.

If this doesn't stop, and I don't see any indication it will, he is going to melt down again, BADLY, like at the debate. If you need extra energy to talk, and you don't have that energy because you've been talking constantly, you will not be able to talk anymore - until you have a long, stress-free break. That's just how it works, no matter what age you are. But I must assume that if you are 81, you might need a little more time.

If we're lucky, he'll break down on camera before he gets the nomination. If this really is the worst timeline, it'll be after. And all the donors and reporters and supporters who already flipped out and felt used and betrayed because they got blindsided will say, "Fuck this shit. I'm out." Their credibility is worth more than this election, they're all planning to be here for the next one.

I don't wish that on anyone, but simple honesty like, "Hey, I need to slow down" or, God forbid, "I need some accommodations" is not an option for the narrative Team Biden has chosen. The debate went badly, but whatever the reason, it's not important and it won't happen again. They don't seem to have any idea that they're making sure it WILL happen again.

Politically, I don't know how in the hell you come back from "Sometimes I can't communicate." I can't even manage it socially, but I am not out there trying to be a politician or saying I'm the only man who can beat Trump. I decided not to hold an entire country hostage to soothe my own ego - as one should. Nobody involved in this is showing any basic competence or treating human beings like living creatures who need care. They just want to win. A superhuman powerhouse would look super electable, wouldn't he?

I dunno. I'm not looking for an ubermensch, myself, but they're not interested in my vote. I don't want Apollo's dodgeball... I DO NOT WANT THE DODGEBALL. I want to be scrolling through my back posts years from now and go, "Ha-ha, how silly I was." But... I think they're gonna push him until he breaks. And then I dunno what's gonna happen.

🍔, ⚾️, 👻

🍔- What kind of food does your muse usually eat? Do they have a favorite food, or favorite style of food? Do they have allergies? Are they vegan, vegetarian, etc.?

// rika tries to mantain a healthy and varied diet. she's not picky and there's few things in foods she can't tolerate. from meat, to fish, to veggies and everything in between, she's all good with almost anything. however she does have a sweet tooth - she really likes ice cream and churros, and you can see her eating them at any time of year. as for more lunch based foods, she has a weakness for pinchitos, tortillas de patata, quesadillas and salisbury steaks, the latter of which are often sold at barato's.

she doesn't have any allergies, nor is she vegan/vegetarian. although she's not lactose intolerant however, she does prefer to drink lactose-free milk, as it's easier for her stomach. doesn't mean she can't drink regular milk but she can handle lactose-free better.

⚾️- Does your muse enjoy sports? Do they play any, or do they simply prefer to watch? Do they have a favorite sport?

// she was a master of dodgeball as a kid, and really enjoys playing baseball. due to her current job though she doesn't really have any time to indulge in those things, but she enjoys going for a jog every once in a while and working out, even when it's for a short time.

👻- How does your muse handle feeling scared? Do they enjoy horror? Do they believe in the paranormal? What calms your muse down? Do they have any scary stories?

// she has the very normal fear of people she loves simply abandoning her, or her fucking up in a way that causes them to never want to talk with her anymore. but she's also super afraid of something horrible happening to them. let's face it - as a teen, she used to be rather reckless and hasty, and geeta knows the amount of times she's almost adventured into dangerous areas either because of a dare or to 'look cool'.

but that's one of the reasons she's so protective of the player character when she discovers they went into area zero: precisely because one time she ventured somewhere she shouldn't have gone, and nearly endangered herself. if it hadn't been for geeta and her own wooper, she probably would've taken a severe beating at the least, or even lost her life at worst. i'd like to expand onto this in the future-

but going back to the questions. she kind of. screams (whether internally or externally) but desperately tries to find a solution to the problem, either by fleeing or facing it head on, depending on what it is. she believes in the baseline paranormal of the pokémon world, which are ghost pokémon.

as for things that relax her after a terrible situation has transpired, holding her hand and rubbing her shoulders/back works. and as it's customary to give to my muses, she finds the touch of fluffy/squishy things relaxing, like plushes full of beads or blankets, as well as someone's arm. and i have the headcanon she keeps a small fidget toy in her pockets she barely takes out of there, as she prefers putting her hands in her pockets and using it covertly.

uh. been a minute. super kids playing dodgeball. bnha s3e17-21

who is this kid with the teeth they keep showing in the intro

oh yeah, the Ninja Clan Hidden in the Teletubby House 'XD -- "Team TeleNinja is blasting off again!"

Not much to say about Momo outsmarting Princess Mind Palace. yeah. that was things, that was cool

if this weirdo with the hat turns people into blobs but those blobs somehow don't have the targets on them any more… how exactly does he win?

blinks …that was a whole episode, huh. welp, next

I keep expecting the first beats of the last OP. this one ain't bad either, tho.

oh, everybody has six pokeballs each. thought they only had three for some reason.

"If I were given eight hours to chop down a tree, I would spend the first six sharpening my axe." Knowing me, I'd spend the first seven and a half doing fuckall and then cut my own arm off trying to use a rented chainsaw.

you with the hat. why haven't you just passed the flippin test already? assuming you can un-blob people, and kirishima hasn't just been killed off out of nowhere, how far up your own ass do you have to be to not just un-blob a couple people and take your license? presumably, they're more than a little discombobulated when they come out of it, so they should be easy pickings.

It's time… to D-D-D-D-DANCE! (idk I couldn't think of any other D words to do with being zapped)

okay, and I guess laserguts is sending up this beacon for… some kind of reason?

and nobody wanted to tell kota that that mask makes him look like howard the duck.

"yay, I can take a nap now!" -- oh. there's still another test left. of course.

huh. Cousin Itt's polite.

"we know it's a rescue training mission, but we gotta give bakugo something to do or we'd have to fail him"

…a filler episode in the middle of what's sort of a filler arc? -- all might with regular eyes still weirds me tf out

so, it's a recap of the movie? or a prequel to the movie, or, something

…what is this sposed to be and why is it here

still can't get over how much all might's villain costume makes him look like caiman from dorohedoro

why is this crammed in the middle of a completely unrelated arc tho

pffft 'XD oh come on, they just assumed all might was corpsing because he's not a good actor

if this is sposed to tell you about the movie, then after this do I get to bitch about them uncanoning melissa's gauntlets? …wait the current arc hasn't even wrapped up yet, the continuity here is just beyond fucked.

huh. so windy guy is just if syndrome had taken it differently and just tried to be a angy hero instead (also if heroes hadn't gone underground I guess).

Hair guy is pretty cool

ain't really that late, but I think I'mma leave the last four episodes of the season for next time.

Grab n' Throw a ridiculous sports game is incoming

Grab n' Throw new first person PvP game already has Proton for Linux via Windows PC. Thanks to the mad commitment and effort of developer Golden Syrup Games. Due to make its way onto Steam. A new game Grab n' Throw, is a variety of different game modes and maps. while focusing around throwing your own team mates to win. Which you can either play on your own or with friends. Grab n' Throw is built to be super quick to get into - no long loading screens. So just two clicks and you're into a game. It's a design that scales down to just 2 people within a region. All while still being fun, or against AI if you prefer singleplayer. It's built on Unreal Engine 4, and will be on Steam, which also has great networking. The aim is to have a demo available this year. While offering a full release for the game next year. According to the developers email reply, Proton support works already.

I was originally planning to do a Linux build. But I think I'll just use Steam's Proton. I've tested it and it works really well.

Meaning, Grab n' Throw will have Proton support on day-one. Although there may still be hope for a native Linux build. But it's still too early for details about Steam Deck verification. But check out the trailer below.

Grab n' Throw Announcement Trailer

Who doesn't appreciate a good interactive first-person game? Those that do not literal sandbox titles. While at the same time making you want to explore the edges of anyway. So that's what Golden Syrup is developing. Oh, and there are power-ups in Grab n' Throw.

A quick sample of the game modes:

Hole in One - Throw force is cranked up massively. Fly through the air, kilometres at a time, and try to land in a golf hole that moves further away. Make your way across a 256 km^2 map. Bounce off randomly placed surfaces, and score extra points for holes in one. Making the longest throw in Grab n' Throw

Bombarda - Dodgeball crossed with soccer, except instead of balls you throw stacks of your own team-mates. Every goal tilts the whole field against you! Take the offensive and try to win on goals. Or hang back and smash into the other team to beat them with outs!

Volley Bash - Throw your team-mates across the net to score goals by slamming into the ground.

Lawyer Launch - Run through a high-rise office building and hurl more lawyers out of windows than your opponents.

Grab n' Throw first person PvP game is coming to Steam next year. Along with support for Linux via Proton using the Windows PC build.

Indoor playgrounds are the perfect place for your child’s indoor trampoline birthday party for numerous reasons. Fun is the most obvious one of all, as these places are designed to give your kid an amazing time. However, there’s more as to why an indoor trampoline park in Las Vegas would be a great way to go.

Amazing attractions

Certainly the biggest reason to organize your kid’s birthday at an indoor playground is all the attractions they can enjoy there. Each of the activities kids can do at an indoor playground are designed with a single thought in mind – have as much fun as humanly possible.

Some of the best attractions you can find at an indoor playground include:

·         Trampolines: Give your kid a chance to soar through the air by jumping around or playing dodgeball on the trampolines.

·         Climbing walls: Challenge your climbing skills by making your way up to the top of the climbing walls, assisted by an auto-belay system.

·         Spider tower: Spider towers are great for kids as they use their muscles to climb level by level.

·         Mega play structures: Children of all ages can enjoy these large structures that combine multiple elements into a mixture of awesomeness.

·         Super slides: Multiple-lane slides make sliding even more fun with friends as you race to the bottom.

One of the best aspects of organizing a birthday party at an indoor playground is that you don’t have to organize it at all. No need to worry about food, drinks, and entertainment – the party planners will do all of that for you. It’s up to you to set the date, compose a guest list, and communicate any specific requirements you might have. After that, event coordinators handle everything, and all that’s left to do is show up and enjoy your child’s big day.

My review of Super Dodgeball Beats. Bottom line: it's a mediocre rhythm game that has nothing to do with dodgeball.

[fireworkss-exe]

Blech. More LOTF AU headcanons.

I pulled these out of the garbage

Ralph is quite the gossip and uses his knowledge as a way of "convincing" people to do favors for him. He learns everyone's secrets on Snapchat and Insta, of course, and no one can get back at him because of how much power he holds over the teachers

Simon is the type to scrawl poems on the bathroom stalls, and Maurice is the type to write "ur mom" or draw Among Us crewmates over said poetry

Despite being a straight-laced goody-two-shoes during his classes, Ralph is absolutely FERAL in gym class and sports. He won't hesitate to break a few bones- whether they're his or someone else's- just to get a handful of extra points for his team

Robert is the DJ at all the dances and school social events, but he's on the brink of being fired because he played the instrumentals of Cupcakke songs and a few teachers recognized the beat

Jack always brings a salad in a tupperware box for his school lunch, and shakes it up for like six minutes before he eats it. He also talks super loudly, and you can hear him halfway across the lunchroom on most days

Sam n Eric are always playing Minecraft or something from Cool Math Games during class, which also means that they're the masters of clicking off websites just before a teacher walks by their desks

Jack may be a self-proclaimed theatre kid, but, like Ralph, he's WILD in gym class. If you're playing dodgeball against Jack, there's no way you're NOT ending up in the nurse's office by the end of class

Roger's music is always turned up to the maximum volume, so you can hear it through his headphones all the time. He's particularly fond of Deftones, Green Day (but only the American Idiot album), goth rock in general, and, although he refuses to admit it, Doja Cat. If you even SUGGEST that he listens to her, you'll end up seriously regretting it

Piggy was that one kid who read a 400+ page book a day in primary school, and now reading is engraved into his personality, even though he hardly reads anything that isn't school-related anymore

Bill is a DSMP stan. The only reason he isn't getting bullied into hell is because he's sort-of friends with Jack

Simon works with the Drama Club as a crew member; he paints the backdrops, however, he wishes he were more confident so he could try out for an acting part

No one is allowed to bully Jack's friends unless they're also part of the crew. Jack strictly enforces this rule by intimidating/extorting/beating up outsiders who dare to taunt a choir kid

Maurice always initiates the "breakdance circle" at social events

Piggy is that one kid in the "nerds club" that every other nerd hates. He's TOO smart, TOO arrogant, TOO obnoxious, TOO much of a rule-follower. He's a teacher's pet and uses that to his advantage as much as possible
