#Totally Cool Ken's suit

"Lover Dolls"

[viharbinger]

Hi there! Saw your post of Ken Sato request. I was thinking about one I have and I had a OS in mind, a Ken Sato x Fem! Reader with the Bad Boy x Good Girl trope. Similar to Rapunzel and Eugene's relationship. Reader is an amazing artist and such a Sunshine while Ken is the opposite.

It's up to you how you wanna write it. Take your time and no need to rush.

Good Girl's Bad Boy

pairings: Kenji Sato x fem!reader

a/n: I loev him so much help

warnings: erm idk, parents disapproving of Ken lol, this is fluff!!

You and Kenji started dating when you both were in LA and were teenagers. Your parents hated his guts. He was egotistical, had a big bike, got into fights often, he's basically in every parenting 101 on who your kid should not date. Despite your parents disapproval however, it didn't stop you from dating him and they can't pull you away from him anyway. So the only thing your parents can do to protest is roll their eyes at him whenever he picks you up on his bike for dates.

They did not like having him around either, but that also didn't stop him. Up to 12am when you're doing your art assignments, he would often climb up your bedroom window. And get a couple of injuries along the way.

A soft knock was heard at your window. You peer at the window away from your painting, and notice a familiar figure. It was your boyfriend, Ken. Smiling, you move to pull up the window, helping him in so he doesn't trip all over your stuff. "You just don't listen to my parents, do you?" You deadpanned, smirking. "You didn't listen when they told you not to date me." He raised his hands up in defense.

As you were watching him talk, you noticed he had fresh injuries on his cheeks. You furrowed your eyebrows, placing your hands on his cheeks to check for further injuries. "Did you get hurt getting up here? Next time just call me and I'll let you in quietly from the front door." You pouted as he places his own hands above yours. "But then it wouldn't be so thrilling, right?" He raises an eyebrow, grinning.

"You're too much." You walk away to look for your bandaids in the bathroom. Unfortunately all you had were hello kitty bandaids, but that didn't stop you from giving it to him. Placing it onto his face, you can't help but giggle at how cute he looks. "You look so silly." You laugh, covering your mouth with your palm. "What? What did you do?" He furrows his eyebrows, walking to your mirror to look at his face. "Aww, seriously?" He whines, to which you stifle your laugh.

"I think it's adorable. You're adorable." You place a firm kiss to his cheek, his ears warming and turning red from the contact. "I can't let anyone see me in this... I've got a... A reputation to live up to!" He makes up an excuse. "Oh be quiet. It wouldn't kill you to have a hello kitty bandaid. I think it's pretty badass." You reassured him. "Seriously?" He laughs for a moment before flickering his eyes to your art piece.

"What're you working on?" He asks, watching as you move to excitedly show him what you were painting. "It's a cat!" You excitedly show him, it was detailed and coloured halfway, but there were outlines to show what you wanted to paint of course. He chuckles, he loves seeing you gleam when showing your work. "Beautiful artwork, sweetheart." He presses a kiss to your forehead.

Let's not forget he has a bike. A cool one. The first time you rode on it, you were like a scared cat, holding onto his waist tightly. Your parents hated this of course, because they much prefer a well suited man with a car.

Man... You wished Kenji would've shown a little less attitude when talking to other men that showed you even the slightest attention. The amount of fights he's gotten in for you. And the amount of first aid you've had to do for him. And meeting your parents for the first time, he had a bunch of bandaids on his face and arms, looking like a total thug that fights a lot. -10000 points for him. Your parents just want their angel daughter date someone nicer, you know?

Over the years, your parents eventually accepted him because he has been getting a lot of brownie points for being a big baseball star and.... Being considerably rich. Despite your family's disagreements on this, you moved to Japan with him, as well. After taking the most confusing and unbelievable news of him having to take over Ultraman, of course.

I mean, Japan is beautiful. It's a brilliant place to start your art career— that is, what Ken says when he convinces you to move with him. Moving in the same house was one thing, but moving together to a different country was a bigger thing! Hell, you've both done so many things behind your family's back that you just went right with it.

"Oh, what the heck! Let's move to Japan." You agreed to his proposal, to which he smiled brightly, planting a sweet kiss to your lips. You can definitely see the rest of your life in Japan. Cheering for him in the stands, treating his injuries after any kaiju incidents, and morning coffees together before work... What you didn't expect was a giant pink lizard wanting Ken as her daddy.

He was so frustrated of having to take over his father's job, and stressed out, only you could reassure him. He needs a little sun in his cloudy days, AKA you. You're like the soft breeze on a hot day, or the rainbow at the end of the road!

HI BARBIE! HI KEN! [part 2, LH44 smau]

Lewis Hamilton x reader

Masterlist & Hi Barbie! Hi Ken! [part 1, LH44 smau]

Summary: Lewis and his "real life Barbie" girlfriend, Y/N Y/L/N, are enjoying each others company during winter break. February brings unexpected drama when the seven-time World Champion decides to leave his team... though is that the only surprise waiting for the fans?

Warnings: Little cliffhanger at the end, but don't worry, I plan on making part 3 soon enough :).

Author's Note: This is continuation of the Lewis x barbie!fashion!icon!reader request, hope you'll all like it. This time there wasn't so much of "barbie content", but I'm sure you won't mind. I honestly love this series, plus there are still many photos for me to use, so stay tuned and let me know if you want to be added to the taglist! :)

Simu!Ken thought— he beaches off for you after one of the Kens or Barbies makes a mean comment about you. And ofc he wins

a/n: HAHAAAAA anon, your mind!! 😭🤌🏻 I decided to make this with both (mean) Ken and Barbie, and did my own lil 'thing' here ;))) thanks, sweetie!! (open to be read as Ryan!Ken, as usual!)

warnings: fluff! (+ teaching meanies a lesson & strong language!)

» fancy reading something new? check out my full m.list!

It's one thing to genuinely get on Ken's bad side, but it's another if the rest of the Barbieland follow suit. 

Mean Barbie and Ken simultaneously arrived months after your Ken’s departure to find you, becoming the talk of the town in an instant. Though, 90% of the time, it was all for the wrong reasons. 

Mean Barbie was demeaning, having a keen interest in insulting others for their interests and even their appearances. Mean Ken was no better, laughing in the Kens' face and Alan for liking anything that was, in his words, 'too girlish'. 

Basically, they weren’t the best people to vibe with. 

While both Weird Barbie and President Barbie tried their best to be civil with the two, the former was more vocal about her distaste, always giving them the stink eye as though she knew their words only went in one ear and out the other. President Barbie was more subtle, though she made sure to drop reminders about their actions here and there.

So when the mean match overheard the cheers and excitement over the infamous Ken coming back for a visit with his sweetheart, oh, they were not having it. 

But soon, they were going to learn that their actions would, in fact, have consequences.

'Cause as the human saying goes; the more you fuck around, the more you find out.

President Barbie was there to greet you and Ken at the entrance, giving you a motherly hug before giving you a heads up and whispering in your ear about the notorious duo.

Though their behaviour wasn't nearly as bad as what you're used to in the real world, it didn't make them any less unpleasant to be around. Kudos to the Barbies and Kens (+ Midge & Allan!) for trying their best not to leave you alone with the two of them, though!

And it only took your Ken two days to do everyone a favour. 

"Hoo, boy, here we go." Mean Ken scoffed at the sight of your Ken excitedly telling you about the surfboard he oftentimes used back when his whole purpose was to be Ken, "That was the cool guy around here?" 

"Right? And I just don't see what's so special about her." His girl sneered.

"Tell me about it. Should've stayed where she came from like she was supposed to." 

The rest of the Barbies and Kens froze up. They gave Pompadour Ken a quick glance, who was now uncharacteristically quiet.

Oh no. 

Who were they to insult you for being you?  

You've also noticed the two literally talking crap about you, though you were more concerned about Ken.

"Ken," You gently stroked his face, hoping it'll ease the sudden tension in his jaw, "Hey, don't listen to them." 

"Hey, pal!" Mean Ken called out to him, "Wanna show us your lil' beach moves? Maybe tell us what's so special about your girl?" 

Ken didn't speak up. He has millions of reasons why you were extremely special to him, but he learnt from you that losing his cool would be a total win for his opposition. 

But the mean twins didn't take being ignored too kindly.

"Hey, I'm talking to you!" He barked, pushing your Ken. He nearly lost his balance, almost hitting you with the surfboard he was holding. 

It wasn't long before Ken finally lost his cool, swinging the surfboard square in Mean Ken's face. He flew away at an immense height and questionable physics, falling on his back just by the sea. 

Some laughed, others cheered. By now, everyone was watching, even Mermaid Barbie and Ken showed up after hearing about a possible showdown on the Malibu Beach. They shook their heads the way disapproving parents would before waving at you, happy to see a nicer face in town.

"Oh my gosh, Ken!" Mean Barbie squawked, running to her man and shaking his unconscious body a little too aggressively, "What did you do?!" 

"I just gave him what he deserved." Your Ken shrugged, running his fingers through his hair that had messed up when he lost his cool.

"You didn't have to like, punch him!" 

"It was gonna happen eventually," Alan murmured to himself, only to earn sounds and nods of approval from the rest of the Kens and Barbies. Even if Pompadour Ken wasn't the one putting them in their place, someone would've. 

Sure, maybe a dance-off would've been sufficient.

Buuut, then again, it was probably the real-world air that he's been breathing in for so long, so it was only a matter of time before his patience snapped, and it did when they started running their mouths about you.

After all, Mean Ken preferred 'manlier' efforts.

"You're in huge trouble, weirdo!" She hissed, believing your Ken's (necessary) violence could easily banish you two from Barbieland. 

"And what're you gonna do about it?" It was your turn to challenge her, standing closer to her with your arms crossed. You weren't just going to stand there and let her spit venom at your boyfriend, much less at your new friends. 

Just a reminder that your hands were rated E for everyone.

"I'll… I'll…! I'll tell Psycho Barbie!" 

"That won't be necessary." Everyone's heads turned to the side to see Weird Barbie approaching, boots off as she walked on the sandy floor with a delighted smirk on her face, "And that's Weird Barbie to you, missy."

She turned to Pompadour Ken, patting him on the shoulder with a grin, "Good job, kid. Didn't think you had it in you but it's probably that wild human air," She then turned to you with a wink, "You got quite the keeper." 

Ken mirrored her proud smile.

"A little help, doc?" She nodded at Doctor Barbie, who immediately rushed to her side. Weird Barbie pointed behind her with her thumb, "Give that guy a quick scan before the President gets here, will ya?" 

Weird Barbie was no doubt beyond excited to report the two, and with tons of eyes as witnesses. 

"Hey," Your Ken placed his hand on the small of your back, "I'm sorry about that. You wanna head home or…?" 

Ken was less than pleased by the thought of the day being ruined but he'd understand if it had because of the mere presence of the two. Some may call him dramatic, but to you, he was just making sure of your comfort. 

"No, no," You shook your head, resting your head on his chest, "I'm okay." 

The groans and whines of Mean Ken and Barbie respectively as President Barbie berated their actions were just bonuses to the feeling of you against him. Softening him up from what had happened prior like kneading dough ever so gently.

"I recall a certain someone promising to play his guitar around a campfire for me?" You teased him, hoping to lift his spirits.

"I did, didn't I?" He hummed, grabbing his guitar bag that lay on the beach chair before wrapping his other arm around you, "C'mon, I know the perfect place."

He brought you to the spot furthest from the 'busy zone', though that didn't stop his friends from dropping stuff like a blanket, sausages and marshmallows to roast as a thank you for his service. 

All in all, the night ended on a much higher note, with your boyfriend serenading you with romantic and cheesy songs he learnt back in the real world and stuffing yourselves with some good campfire food.

Happy International Men's Day, Ken!

International Men's Day may be most well-known for the fact that every year, on International Women's Day, it trends on social media because of people asking why we talk about IWD and not IMD.

It is to raise awareness for some significant and important issues pertaining to men and men's health: statistics indicate that men are three times more likely to take their own life than women, and nearly twice as likely to suffer from medical conditions such as lung cancer and heart disease.

It also takes place in the middle of Movember, a men's health charity event that takes place across the month of November.

International Men's Day 2024 is "Positive Male Role Models". Mattel doesn't acknowledge the day the way that they do for International Women's Day, and I can't blame them; the Barbie brand is significantly more suited towards uplifting and encouraging women, and that's fine. If people want a toy brand to show the same support for International Men's Day I think that's totally fair - but there's no reason it should be Barbie.

That being said, I like any excuse to talk about various lesser known Barbie-line dolls, so I thought I'd take a moment to say so.

For example; I have spoken before about Francie, the first doll in the Barbie line to be portrayed as a Black woman as well as a white woman; and Christie, the first character in the doll line to be portrayed only as a Black woman. But did you know about Brad, the first Black male in the doll line?

There were only a few Brad dolls made in the early 1970s (Wikipedia cites 1968, but every other source I've seen says 1970) and he was Christie's boyfriend.

A few years later came Curtis, who used the same head sculpt, and who was paired with Barbie's friend Cara.

The first Black male in the Barbie line to be branded as Ken, rather than as a friend of Barbie and Ken, appears to be Sunsational Malibu Ken from 1982.

As you can see in this Barbie ad, he also has really cool hair.

[clanwarrior-tumbly]

I saw the Ken man ask (the one with the Ken who's supposed to be an overdramatic superhero) and I wanted to know if you'd be cool with a follow up, when the events of kendom happens in the movie Ken man Is having the time of his life since he can now do what he was meant to do and save barbie land from the forces of beach ken, but while he's doing so he and beach Ken at some point have an overdramtic confrontation about how the other betrayed them

Yeah! I'm glad you liked the hcs!

Here's the post of Ken-Man if anyone wants to read em!

........

"I'LL SEE YOU ON THE MALIBU BEACH!!"

"CHAAARGE!!!!"

As the Kens on both sides of the beach shouted their war cries and charged at each other, you, Barbie, Gloria, Allan, Sasha, and all the other dolls freed from the brainwashing observed the battle from the safety of Weird Barbie's manor.

"And so it begins...they're so wrapped-up in their egos that they cannot see that they're tearing each other apart...and destroying the beach Barbieland knows and loves." You murmured, crouching along the ledge of the building. "I know what I have to do."

"Yeah, you go....do your superhero stuff or whatever. Stall 'em if you can," Weird Barbie suggested as she peered through her binoculars, before turning to the others. "As for us...I think it's time we put our freaking constitution back together."

There was a unified agreement, so while they all headed down to the Pink House to cast their votes, you donned your mask and flew towards the shores.

Finally, you could fulfill your purpose as a hero by saving this world from the forces of Beach Ken and his tyrannical Kendom! You refused to be part of his empire, knowing how badly it was hurting the Barbies despite his insistance that things were better this way.

All your life you've been living in the shadows, rescuing the dolls from mundane situations. And while you did receive acknowledgement and praise, you felt like something was lacking..

Danger.

Seeing the Kens attacking each other so viciously with tennis rackets, beach balls, frisbees, and pool noodles....that was dangerous in your eyes. People were getting hurt. Your people.

You may just be one man.

But you're Ken-Man.

And it's about time you saved the day.

The beach was in total chaos, but conveniently you had gadgets and fighting skills that most of these Kens didn't have. All the Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, and Justice League media Ken brought back to this place couldn't prepare any of them for what you had in store.

You dodged a frisbee, grabbing it and flinging it right back to a Ken, hitting him on the back of the head before he fell to the ground. Then you narrowly missed an arrow by doing a flip, kicking up sand as you landed.

"KEN-MAN!!!!"

Hearing the familiar shout, you spun around, cape swishing dramatically, and suddenly found yourself in a clearing.

Amidst all the Kens fighting around you, there was only one you were focused on:

Beach Ken, donning his lightning bandanna and a black fringe open vest, staring you down with such fury.

"Ken-"

"You....TRAITOR!!" He charged at you, ready to swing, but you intercepted his fists, standing nose-to-nose. "What ever happened to being your sidekick?!! You promised I would be as cool as you!! Did that mean nothing?!!"

"I think you got this all backwards." You retorted. "I offered you a place by my side, but you abandoned me the moment you heard Barbie was going to the Real World!"

"Well maybe if you taught me how to do better flips, we wouldn't be here right now!" He pushed you back.

"That's crap and you know it. I taught you every flip in the book! Am I to blame for you not retaining it-?!!" You moved aside as he attempted to hit you with a foam sword some other Ken tossed his way, quickly disarming him. "Look, I know you're sick of living in the shadows. Trust me, I've been that way all my life-"

"Which is why I thought creating Kendom Land would make you happy!! You could've had so much power, a new suit, and recognition!! But you still chose the Barbies..and they convinced you I was the enemy-!!"

"They didn't convince me, Ken. You did that yourself."

For a moment, Ken stood frozen in shock, taking in your words for a moment or two. He didn't expect for you to say them so...coldly.

He clenched his fists, trying his hardest to contain his anger. But even you could see it was gradually fizzling out as he observed all the fighting surrounding you two.

"I never wanted it to be like this...I just wanted her to see me..." He murmured, eyes now cast down to the sand.

You shook your head. "You still don't get it. No amount of backflips or cars or cool clothes will get her to like you."

"....I thought superheroes were supposed to be uplifting and inspirational...and I definitely don't feel uplifted or inspired right now." Ken glared back up at you, eyes glossy with painful emotions.

"Not always. There comes a time where we have to unveil the truth...even if it hurts both sides." You huffed, relaxing your shoulders. "You can stop this. All of this can end right now."

"....can it really?"

Your heart sunk a bit at how lost he sounded. It's obvious that he wasn't fit to be this great and powerful leader the other Kens believed him to be after he brought great "manly wisdom" back from the Real World.

He thought he'd feel better.

But if anything, he only created more problems, and he didn't know how to cope.

He didn't wanna be the villain of this story...and neither did you.

"Of course it can." Smiling behind your mask, you extended your hand out. "The only one stopping you is...well..you. At the end of the day, you're still my friend. And together we can restore this wonderful beach. So...whatdya say, sidekick?"

He blinked a few times as he stared at you, almost considering taking your hand.

"Ken-Man, I-"

"I GOT HIM, SIR!!! I'LL UNMASK HIM!!"

Out of nowhere, you were tackled from behind by a random Ken, although you wasted no time in flipping him over your shoulder and slamming him to the ground.

"Way to ruin the moment, Ken.." You sneered, kicking him down before glancing up to see that Beach Ken had ditched you, having his sights set on Tourist Ken from across the way.

AKA the one who "stole" his Barbie when all the Kens were playing guitar at their girlfriends last night.

'Well...can't say I didn't try to talk some sense into him..' You watched as he fought his way to him with noogies and his "hotness", before you decided to flee back into town, breaking up a few fights between Kens along the way.

This wasn't your war to finish.

It was Ken's.

But you're certain you did the right thing.

One shot - Halloween & bff Ken

Oh I’ve definitely got a story that fits this scenario!

“C’mon, Ken,” I called out with a chuckle, “can’t I help pick out the costumes? You brought me here for some advice, and I wanna help!”

“No!” my friend called back from somewhere else in the store. We can’t see each other because the racks of costumes are taller than I am so as to keep all the merchandise off the floor. He told me to wait at the front of the store so he could bring costume suggestions to me, which translated to my brain as ‘wander around the store and look for a costume for me’ while I waited.

This was last Halloween by the way, and Ken and his Barbie were going to be all matchy this time, and to my friend’s surprise, Barbie asked Ken if he would pick out their costumes. Something along the lines of ‘fun and exciting and can be a little scary if necessary but not too scary’. So yeah, that leaves a lot of choices, and Ken wanted to do this right. So a second opinion was necessary.

That’s where I came in.

“She asked me to pick, and I’m going to pick!...I just need help narrowing it down.”

I’m looking at a really cool Adventure Dude costume with a fedora while I ask, “But like, wouldn’t me showing you some options help you narrow it down more?” There’s no immediate reply, and I can’t help but smirk as I try on the fedora. “Oh dude, you look cool,” I tell my reflection which was totally true because I did look cool. If I look cool in a cowboy hat, I definitely look cool in a fedora too.

Then I hear from a different part of the store, “Welllllll…yeah okay, that makes se–hey!”  That made me stand straight and look around, wondering what was going on, until I heard, “Where’d you go?”

“Oh,” I chuckled, “I’m looking for a costume for me.”

“Oh! Where are you? I’ll come show you–”

“No, you wait up front,” I suggest as I start walking that way, fedora still on my head. “I’ll find you faster than you’ll find me.”

When I did arrive at the front, he proudly showed me peanut butter and jelly costumes and asked, “Ta-da! What about these? Aren’t they great?”

“Totally! But umm…”

His smile faltered a bit. “But what?”

“Well…I was just kinda wondering if those are ‘fun and exciting and a little scary if necessary but not too scary’ enough.”

“Oh.” He looked at the costumes again and hummed super thoughtfully. “Fun? Check. Exciting? Not exactly. A little scary? Not even close.”

I shrugged apologetically. “Sorry. Maybe you can text her a picture of them?”

“No no, not yet. There’s more options to look at.”

Boy were there. After looking at a monkey costume paired with a yellow suit and hat, a chicken paired with a white tux and a bucket, an elf costume paired with maple syrup (whatever that’s about), Princess Peach and Mario, Tinkerbell and Peter Pan, a safari couple, hitchhiking ghosts, a princess and a prince, superheroes, vampires, Victorian era clothes, and coffee matched with a donut, we finally found costumes that Ken could not get over.  One was a blue and white dress with a big bow for your hair, really long, striped stockings that went with black shoes, and the other was another suit - a very colorful suit - with a really big, green top hat.

“This is it!” he said excitedly, and he was practically hopping on the balls of his feet. “This is it! Barbie’s going to love these! I think this checks all the boxes!”

I nod in agreement. “Fun? Totally. Exciting? I would say so. A little scary?”

“Not necessary,” Ken finished for me. “These are the perfect costumes! We’re going to rock this Halloween!”

One Shot Asks

[queenofcats17]

WONDERFUL!

Ok so I like to call my Sammy "Barbie" and "Yassified Ken" because he's basically just a male version of Barbie but he's also like a more feminine and sassy version of Ken

He has a favorite Cafe that he visits super often and orders an extremely detailed iced coffee, he gets it so often and it's so different from the rest of the menu that they legitimately made it a new drink on the menu and named it after him. He doesn't drink straight black coffee he prefers it to be iced and extremely sweet, like immediate diabetes and cavities sweet with like 3 shots of espresso. Even people who love super sugary drinks feel like it's a punch in the face when they try it

He's pansexual, but many people refuse to believe he's not gay which pisses him off to an extreme amount

He's gender fluid but tends to identify as female most days. When he's feeling more masculine he'll wear suits or overalls and when he doesn't identify as any gender he wears a mixture of both masculine and feminine clothing

He spends like hours every morning trying to look the best

He's a vegetarian (he is NOT VEGAN, Way too many people have mixed that up lmao. Vegetarians may eat some animal byproducts but only if they don't kill the animals while vegans avoid all animal products)

In his studio the toons are alive but they grow up just like human children, just a bit faster. The toons are currently about the age of toddlers and they absolutely love Sammy, often referring to him as "Uncle Sammy" and trying to spend as much time with him as possible. They're extremely attached and cry when he has to go home

He absolutely loves cats and treats them just like babies, he also has a pet bunny named "Jax" and a bird named "Bella"

He goes by He/She/They pronouns

He grew up in an upper middle class household and has siblings, he has about 4 older brothers, 2 older sisters, and 1 younger brother

He's an atheist and tends to be a bit anxious and snippy around Catholics and Christians due to some past experiences and traumas from those religions. He still respects the people from those religions though it might just take a bit longer for him to trust them

He's extremely chatty and loves to gossip, tending to get along best with the female workers at the studio

He wears a lot of makeup and jewelry, being very talented at makeup art and jewelry making

(I'm gonna stop rn cuz if I keep going this ask will be as long as the Bible, if ya wanna hear more let me know cuz I am totally 100% normal about this man)

This is all really cool!! I love to hear about other people's oc's!

Your Sammy seems really cool!!

[broknfeed]

His eyes widen, walking towards the man before him. He’s never seen such a thing. He gasps, “I’ve never in my ken years came across this in person.” He says as he study’s the suit. “It’s so — black” he adds, stopping and taking a step back. “ @deceptivemorals, you own a 1997 totally cool ken limited edition suit.” He explains. “Where did you get it?”

[super-antelope]

So the Gollum Game

Way to many of my thoughts on Gollum, Daedalic Entertainment and the click-and-point genre.

Recently a new game about Gollum, made by Daedalic Entertainment, came out. It has gotten very bad reviews and a negative response, so much that Daedalic came out with an apology. Now, I haven’t played it myself, but I’ve seen enough clips and screenshots to come to the conclusion that it is exactly as terrible as people say it is.

When this game was first announced back in 2019 I was actually very excited, because I really like some off Daedalics other games. In fact, my favourite game of all time, The night of the rabbit, is made by them.

This was also about a year after the company released the final game in their click-and-point adaptation of The pillars of the earth, which originally is a book by Ken Follett.

It’s a beautiful looking game with a good story and I enjoyed it very much. I thought that if they tackled Tolkiens world in a similar manner, it could make for a really cool and unique game. However, as soon as I found out that Gollum wasn’t gonna be a click-and-point I lost all hope.

Cause here’s the thing, Daedalic games tend to be very much not great when they do games that are other genres. They started out as a company that only made click-and -point, and it’s definitely their strongest suite. I’m not saying that all of their other games are terrible. I haven’t played any of them, and can therefore not make that judgement. I can however look up what people who have played them think, and if you look at the steam reviews on some of their games, there’s a clear pattern.

Here are some of their click-and-point games:

And here are some of the others:

They haven’t released any new click-and-point (as both devs and producers) since Pillars of the earth, and it also seems to be the last game since, that was actually really good. They were gonna release a click-and-point called The Devil’s men, but unfortunately it got cancelled in 2018, which is a shame since it looks sooo cool!

It’s a little unclear why it got cancelled. I’ve seen some people say that it was because Daedalic didn’t think people was interested in that genre anymore, or that they thought it wasn’t gonna make them enough money, but I haven’t been able to find any direct quotes or sources to these statements. So take that with a grain of salt

So where am I going with this??

Well, my point isn’t that I think Daedalic should stick to just click-and-point and nothing else. I totally get that making games that are always in the same vein and/or genre can be boring and uninspiring. I don’t wanna blame anyone for wanting to try something new or different. You should be able to make games and projects that you find fun and enjoyable to make, that you actually want to make, even if other people want you to make other games that you might not find inspiring. However, I just can’t help but feel like this isn’t the issue here.

Despite my love for them, most of their click-and-points has several flaws, some more than others. They are in no way, shape or form perfect, far from it. However, these games are still great and obviously loved by many, and I think the reason for that is that there’s so much heart in them. You can feel that they hade a blast making them while you play them, and that, combined with beautiful artwork and incredible soundtracks, is exactly why they work, despite the many flaws. The best example here is Deponia, one of their most appreciated game franchises.

It has the absolute worst main character I ever played as, some of the puzzles makes absolutely no sense, whatsoever, the “dark humour” often leaves a bad taste in your mouth, cause instead of being actually good jokes, it feels like it crosses the line just to cross the line. Do I still love the games to death, and have replayed them multiple times? Absolutely yes

And once again, take this with a grain of salt since I actually haven’t played any of them and I’m basing this of reviews, but that heart seems to be missing in their other genre games. They don’t feel as genuine and as cared for, they lack passion and creativity. And the same goes for Gollum more than anything else.

It just makes me so sad that it seems like Daedalic have given up on a genre that they did so well. Not because they don’t want to make more click-and-points, but because they think that there’s no longer an audience for that genre, and therefore there’s no gain in making anymore. This might of course not be the case at all, but that’s how it feels to me. And it sucks, because while the audience for click-and-point might be smaller than some other genres, their point-and-click games are generally more appreciated, and better received, as I pointed out earlier.

I truly think that Gollum could have been great, if they would have been brave enoughto make it click-and-point. It would have been a risk sure, but I think that even a mediocre click-and-point about Gollum would have been better than what we got. And look, I understand that its unrealistic to wish that all games should always be passion projects. At the end of the day, capitalism is a bitch that has power over all of us, whether we like it or not. Making a game a certain way because you’ll think it’ll be more financially successful, is very fair and valid. But still.

Anyway this ended up being waaaay longer than I intended lol (no one will probably read this, but if you did, hey!! Thanks, my pal!!🤘) I hope that the flop that is Gollum doesn’t hurt the company to much, and I hope that they will continue to create games, whatever genre they may be. And if they’ll make a new click-and-point, then you can be damn sure that I’ll play it!!

She's so Gender I love her

[booksandchainmail]

Pale 9.11

Her spiritual antler having enough to it that the actual antler could float there. Verona’s mask hadn’t stuck, apparently. She wasn’t sure what that was about.

My theory here is that Verona's mask remains broken because it breaking was an emotionally resonant moment. Avery's mask just got damaged in battle, and hasn't impacted Avery's view of how it should look. Verona's mask was shattered in a moment of betrayal and cruelty from someone she should have been able to trust, and had a corresponding impact on her Self.

“You related to Ken?” Avery asked. “He’s my dad, I guess,” Nettie said. “I’m the offshoot. We figured we’d scatter, cover more ground.”

oh neat!

“Well, it’s nice to meet you.  I like the name Nettie,” Avery said.  “Now I’m wondering what the others are called.”

I think there were four total? So some ideas: Kendall, Kendra, Kennedy, Nate, any name that ends in -nette

“Good.  The pin will help you with the prep.  If you’re in a place for a while, it’ll change.  Tells you when you’re attuned to a place, when you can ask the city spirits things.  There are ones smaller and vaguer than me.  Neighborhood spirits, street spirits.  You’ll usually need to do things for them, even picking up litter or something, before they’ll do something for you.”

I like this! Good for the girls' role as protectors of Kennet, and particularly suited for Avery's personality

Nettie nodded, glanced around, then leaned in a bit.  “Nobody’s listening, so I can tell you Verona’s claimed her gift.  She called, another part of me answered.  I’m meant to forget after I’ve told you two.”

something that helps her run or hide within Kennet would be very useful right now

“When things go really wrong my mind kind of shuts off,” Avery said.  “I’ve had thoughts before that it doesn’t work like that for Verona.  I don’t think she’s making dumb moves.”

she's making extreme moves. She is making them very effectively! But entirely possible to get herself in too deep while she's like this

“I think she can be very smart and have almost no common sense when she’s like this.”

High INT low WIS. Honestly that seems to describe Verona most of the time, but it gets amplified when she's like this. In this state she doesn't seem to have much sense of self-preservation or care for the future or side consequences.

“I don’t want her taking some property from Ken and doing a demesne ritual without us there, or anything.”

I mean. That would be one way to keep the furs out of reach. But I don't like the implications of Verona choosing her new home while in this state, or of creating it all alone.

Scary Others, goblins, body snatchers, a heist of some ancient spirit judge’s furs?  That was one thing.  But buzzing a classmate she barely knew for weird reasons, then having to improvise an explanation?  Augh.

big mood

Steph + Reagan + Howie Perry.  It was only visible with her Sight.  She tapped the name.

Reagan! From the Hungry Choir ritual!

“Bonky Donks? Cookies? Whizzbangs?”

are those actual canadian snacks?

“It’s fine,” Avery said.  “Your daughter was really cool to us when things got really hairy, and I’m really grateful for that.  You raised a good daughter.” “Why even tell her if she’s going to forget?” Melissa asked. “Because it’s important,” Avery said.  Maybe if I say it again, “Reagan was cool.”

awww

“You can stay if you want, Melissa, we don’t really have the time to drag you with us, but I’m going to be blunt, on a seriousness scale of clown to terminal cancer, I’d rate this a multiple stab wound,” Lucy said. “What are you even talking about?” Melissa asked.

yeah I'm with Melissa, that explanation does not help

“I’m the Frankenstein’s monster that got put together from the scraps that were left behind. A bit of the backfill that’s smoothing over the holes they left, so the universe can heal and move on. I was a confused jumble of a bunch of people’s memories, at first, and then I put myself together. It was excruciating. Tying knots in two ropes that are being pulled in opposite directions, over and over again. I don’t think I’m very long for this world. When the universe has smoothed it all out, I’ll be the bumpy bit that gets scraped away. Probably.”

Man that sucks. And made worse by how all the component pieces of him were in a place to join the Hungry Choir ritual.

I wonder if there's a way to preserve him? Tie him to something other than just the gaps of those missing kids? Crack theory: make him the new Carmine judge.

“McKay and Bridge have a solid game plan.  Pick a body I want, drive out the occupant, then slip inside.  Depending on the fit, I should be able to hang out for a few decades.”

or that :|

“They were so desperate.  All of them.  It wasn’t just those three.  They bit, they clawed, they screamed, they hurt.  In their last moments they stood on the edge of oblivion.  More of them gave their all than gave up.  That’s the space I’m occupying.  Those are the Frankenstein pieces I’m made up of.  They were barely even human.  They were scared and savage.  They were torn to shreds and I’m the shreds that didn’t get eaten.”

Anyone who made it past even a single night of the Choir had to have come to terms with watching people die. And anyone who participated in one of the last night's of the cycle, like Reagan, knew what their survival would cost and had to decide to keep going.

Now that I think about, we've never got details on the night Brie won. Maybe some the parts she needed from other people were willing, but there's no way she didn't choose to go after people with force to survive. I wonder how much of her not wanting to fight is having to live knowing that seven people died in her place, and now their twisted echoes are bound in her flesh?

“I don’t think you realize what it means, for me to be made up of people who were like these guys were right at the end.  Doing anything to keep going.  Even eating vomit, clawing at a friend’s arm, begging…”

which of course means CK is born from a place that is desperate enough to make those awful choices. No wonder he's contemplating stealing someone else's body to survive.

"We- the idea we were debating was… we’d spread enough raw chaos that the universe wouldn’t be doing any paving over for me. McKay would have more people with their lives in shambles to steal from, and Bridge would maybe be able to pull more Self together. If anything can survive the Abyss and its chaos then it tends to get bigger, tougher and stronger." “That’s a terrible idea, you know, and I don’t know much about the Abyss.”

having read Pact: do not try to get more Abyssal! It's bad!

Roundup

Blah Blah:

Well, my back is definitely getting better but it's still nowhere near back to normal... It honestly wouldn't bother me so much if I knew what the hell I did to piss it off so badly.

Seriously, I've been wracking my brain for days trying to think of anything I could have done that would have put me out of commission for an entire week and unless I'm completely mistaken the day I hurt it we mostly hung in, worked on music, and only really stepped out briefly to grab a pizza.

Oh well, at least it's heading in the right direction.

In other news, we're working on fleshing out a bunch of Rot Coven tracks that we wrote while recording the new album. Musically it'll be about what one would expect from us (ugly death/ noise/ doom) except we're both doing vocals on this one and a couple of tracks vary up the tempos a bit more than usual. Might be a while before it's done. We'll see.

-

Muzak:

KEN Mode - Dissonant noise rock/ hardcore from Canada. Cut from pretty much the same cloth as Great Falls, Yautja, Faking, etc. Been listening to a ton of their most recent album in anticipation of the new one that's coming out next month.

-

Defiled - Long running Japanese band. At first glance they'd seem like your average "meat and potatoes" death metal band: No frills, fairly ugly and grizzled, mostly pretty fast. But then you start to notice how weird and angular and almost "proggy" a lot of their riffs are, and how theres a ton of odd part changes and some seriously weird interplay between the riffs and the drums, and all of a sudden they start to sound a bit like Zeni Geva sped up to 3x normal speed.

This newest release is pretty great, but I think "In Crisis" is still my favorite of their albums.

-

Psychic Teens - I hadn't listened to Psychic Teens in kind of a while before one of their tracks popped up on shuffle while I was doing laundry last week and reminded me how good this album is.

Think: Scrungy, sweat stained, noise rock ala The Jesus Lizard welded to gloomy vocals and the heavily reverbed-and-chorused guitar tone of "Dreamtime" era Cult.

-

Video Games:

Bomb Rush Cyberfunk - How long has it been since they announced this game? Four years? Maybe five? Something like that... Cool that it's finally out. I've only had time to play it for about half an hour so far but it seems like they definitely nailed the Jet Set Radio vibe.

The first JSR is pretty close to my favorite game of all time so I'm really stoked to dig in and spend some time with this.

-

Reading:

Gonna make a run at the Drizzt books by R.A. Salvatore 'cos I loved them when I was a kid and haven't re-read them ever. I seem to remember them being like a Jean Claude Van Damme movie set in the Forgotten Realms and I really hope they live up to that.

-

Tube:

Dust Devil - Watched this with DD last night... One of my favorite films ever. Up there with Razorback, The last Wave, Hardware, and Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I love how Namibia looks like a dead planet and how that lends the whole movie a ghostly/ otherworldly feeling that totally suits the story of a predatory spirit bound in human flesh.

I knew you'd find it while I'm trying to place it there and somebody was filming it and they ran like hell and he thought it was our friend here cuz they went about 50 and it might have been Ken nobody else has known to be able to run that fast and he said the figure was not real huge and he said to have a cyst and a cyst and he was saying it's not assisted it could have been a close Jager or iron Man suit and he said I didn't have gear but it sounds like a person running and I didn't hear anything else and so he's mad at Ken so we're worried about him he knows about blasters and we need the technology in case of huge blasters are not built even if they are

This person here is an expert and he is a Jedi and I'm going to deem it and he says you can't call me when but you can call me to your people and I understand what he's saying his people have to say he is and there's a time and place for it probably a Comic-Con so I'm doing a great job he says whatever that thing is and whatever that thing is you have to get them off and we need that motorcycle and I'm not saying you should build it because we are trying and it's just not going anywhere if you build it in Miami everybody's going to try and take it which might tie it up I thought about that and it might work and it's a great idea and VGA doesn't want to do it and it's his place and it is a really hot idea that is a great idea and to use the tube steel because you don't have to bend it and warp it and it takes forever it takes a day to make one frame your system takes about a total of an hour even if you have tons of people cutting they take a while to cut and the new one might take a little bit more but not much and you set the Angles and have jigs and you don't need to use a plate it really works better and for crying out loud this is going to be an awesome bike I've never heard of anything so simple so quick and then the suspension on it's going to rule it really has not been anything that's this effective for a long time you saddles and things you use on buildings and it makes sense buildings have huge amounts of stresses on small members and I started to think about it and I said wow there's a ton of weight on those things and on a motorcycle is not really that much and the talking stuff is usually in line and it's just pushing horizontally against a solid member created when you're jumping and falling and things like that there's a lot of weight but it's only you and your body and most people don't jump like crazy and we did and we've been frames that that frame of the Buell was terrible and he didn't say to build it like that no we're going ahead and we're going to try it it's going to be awesome this this bike looks real cool it's based on his brother Evel Knievel can you believe all the stuff people going to wear and he said I should start making it and they will come and you know it might be why I made that on the door this makes a lot of sense now and I'll say it's not about the rebel flag and you're saying about motorcycles and they said we know about that and they start talking about it and it never stopped I have to do this now it's going to be so much fun to be able to ride when he says I get a trailer and they'll ride it over and he might have BG ride in the ball of death of the circus and we might reopen it and we know where to put it he says at the airport and we said no

Jesus Christ that blows but he thinks it was me and I was moving this little fat guy running 50 miles an hour no the fact kind of goes away and I look kind of chunky I had stuff on but I guess he could tell and I run a little weird yeah I'm in trouble so bja and now he's not going to help so I get that and my group is in trouble they think they had me do it and we're going to probably end up fighting them to get the ships out so I see that

Ken AKA Frankie lupena

I'm going to get going on the stuff this is awesome

Hera yeah your Comic-Con stuff if our people are going to make you a Jedi I have to be there and be one of the same time glad you asked you're saying stop it taking advice for my uncle is going to ruin us I'm just kidding but geez cover cover everywhere to drink so I'm going to go to college and I know a character you want to be and you say what is that I'm laughing you don't know which one so I'm going to keep looking

You know what character he is and no he can't be that one and it can't be that one and there's a couple more you can't be being is not that great at this time it might be how you get there though after the fact is not too late and it's actually good timing and they will get you money and we do see that they're a bunch of nutcases and by then you should be at least 5 ft 11 and it says bigger than most people and that's true

Thor Freya

It would be bigger than most people at Comic-Con but we do understand here decent sized you probably need the shirt it'll be more fun and you'd be harder than hell hotter and maybe it would still be winter hopefully there's a couple more reasons they might do it people want to see the interaction between different groups there's a lot of heinous stuff going on and we want to see that mostly that we want to see it but other groups want to see how to get at each other most of them are kind of chickenshit to do it and they just sit you here well these people are so we want to get you out to try and do things like that and we want to try and get you out pretty quick meaning the next comic Con is coming up and if you don't have money we know you can't go

OMG!!! so glad requests are open. I had this idea for a long time now. How about, headcannons for Mikey, Baji, Chifuyu and the Haitani brothers.

MC is like the school's soft girl, all sunshine and rainbows are TR boys have a crush on them, one day they are just going somewhere and enjoying when some old ass man was harassing some girl (probably a year younger than MC) when before TR boys can even react, MC straight up badass beats them with the dark threatening lines and all but later they are all shy and blushy about it

sorry if it's a bit too specific but I would really love to see this : )

Not what it seems

Author's note 📝: Oh. The requestor deactivated :((

Warnings ⚠️: Crude language and behavior! Mentions of knives and whatnot and more.

Mikey :

❥ Both of you are literally the definition of don’t judge a book by its cover.

❥ Mikey : Looks like a cinnamon roll, but will kill you. Y/n : Looks like a cinnamon roll, is a cinnamon roll. But with a little more cinnamon than most.

❥ Mikey was, to say the least, infatuated with you. One thing he loved most about you was the deep cushy passionate color he saw so much, on you. On your lips, on your fingertips, spread on your nose but most of all, on your cheeks.

❥ He was obsessed with the way you looked and acted like an excited puppy. He was said to have acted that way many times before, but to Mikey that kind of ambience only suited you. His was close to an act whereas yours were genuine.

❥ He genuinely never thought you could have a side to you like that.

Toman is the gang that Mikey would forever be proud of. The ideals weren't the exact same as his older brother’s but it was close. Not that, it was his basis of what’s good or not. Sure they beat annoying people up, but they had enough of a reason…at least that’s what they thought.

But never did any of them once condoned actions against the innocents. They stood for what’s right, well- most beneficial. But one principle they’d never forget and learned the hard way is to never endanger any person that wasn’t involved

“Take another step forward and I swear, I can’t be held responsible for my actions.”

Mikey was with the rest of the gang when he had the chance to hear an unrestrained threatening voice of yours. It was different from the always cheerful and adorable lilt tone you had that accompanied your personality.

He could feel somebody tapping his shoulder, they might have recognized you as well.

“Huk! Youngsters these days have absolutely no manners!”

“Yeah? And you think harassing a young girl is proper manners? My, my. Could the police have a similar idea?”

Mikey was impressed. You had not fumbled, in your words and in your stance. He never expected you to be capable of something like that. Perhaps the others around him thought so as well as the patting in his shoulders grew harsher.

Speechless, the old man was left to try and dash away with his tail in between his legs.

A couple of thank you conversations with the younger girl later, and you were left to reminisce about your actions.

“Ah, why did I say that! I should have just threatened to dial the police! Of course I’m gonna be held responsible either way- I must have looked like a total idiot…” You continued to mumble. Now this was the scene that Mikey was familiar and comfortable with.

“Not really. You were totally cool.” you looked to your side and Mikey was there. Stuttering, you couldn’t formulate your words.

“And you handled that situation 10x better than we could have! Right, ken-chi?” He looked at his companion with a jolly smile. To which the latter just nodded and looked away.

“By the way, wanna hang out with us?”

Chifuyu :

❥ Golden boy + Golden girl is like the match of the century.

❥ With you two around, you could grace even the darkest depths of hell with your bright smiles.

❥ Chifuyu was attracted to the way you managed to brighten up a dull atmosphere. That was a trait he wished he could have.

❥ But in your opinion, the way he could fight back with a smile on his face even if the odds were against him was what you admired.

❥ Surely, both of you perfectly suited each other. But then again, too much brightness really hurts the eyes.

Dainty and with an appearance that implied that you could be blown away by a simple breeze, Chifuyu didn’t know if what he was seeing was real or not.

“Hey isn’t that the girl you like?” Baji was always one to be so blunt and brazen. With his brick of a head, no doubt he couldn't read the mood of most rooms.

“To think some people could act so…desperately deplorable. You’ve hit rock bottom…no wait, that would be an insult to rocks.”

Chifuyu doubted it. In his mind, you probably couldn’t even utter a single curse word. Turning to his right, he observed the situation. His hands that were nonchalantly supporting his head as he walked dropped as if it lost its muscles.

“Bother this girl one more time and I swear, I can turn even the most harmless objects into lethal weapons…” Your threats didn’t stop. For once, Chifuyu lost all the thoughts in his pretty little head. The sight…oddly made him look at you more favourably.

The scene hasn’t come close to what he had already seen, but the impact was certainly higher.

As you turned your head to face the younger girl, it was then that you saw him. To think he would catch you acting so shameless.

“Ch-chifuyu!? How-”

“Y/n! Man, I could really understand why Chifuyu likes you so much now holy shi-”

“Ah!” Chifuyu shouted as he tried to block the mouth of Baji. Enduring even when his friend’s fangs pierced his skin.

As both cheery people, the flusteredness in both of your faces were one to be laughed at.

Rindou :

❥ It wasn’t that you two weren’t a match…but you were both on the opposite sides of the spectrum.

❥ He’d do all sorts of things if it meant making life fall to his favour. He wouldn’t deny that. Heck- he’d have no problems voicing it out loud.

❥ But you. You were the sunshine that always stood up for what’s right. No matter how much the situation would be a disadvantage to you.

❥ And you too, had no qualms in voicing that thought out loud.

❥ It was ridiculous. Ridiculous enough that he understood and listened to his older brother’s taunts on how much you two were only gonna hurt each other.

Would it be too arbitrary to think of you that way with a clear mind?

Truthfully, as Ran had thought. There was nothing that could prove Rindou’s feelings for you but the fact that you had a pretty face. An infatuation of some kind. Rindou had already been hit in the head quite a few times to make him ‘snap out of it’.

As the older brother who had to take responsibility for the younger, he thought of a way to make his sibling lose his affection for you. How? Apparently by introducing more beautiful women. Then again, Ropponggi was known to have a lot of those.

Rindou repeatedly protested, but then again he was getting tired of uselessly pining for you on the side. Who would have thought both had been lucky in accidentally bumping into you and then showing the reasons on just why the younger Haitani fell for you head-deep.

“You have two options…” A tone that Rindou believed could never belong to you pierced through his head. The hand keeping him hostage also loosened.

“You could either walk away while you still have your dignity or…” You pointed to his groin. Then you slid your fingers across your chest in a cutting motion.“That part will be cut.”

“Nevermind, you can like her all you want.” Was what Ran had said to snap Rindou out of his trance. “Mind if I join though?” He really deserved a punch for that one.

“Ack! Rindou! This- This isn’t what it looks like!?”

‘Could a person really switch appearances that fast?’ Was all he could think about as he watched you fumble in your words. The face he had grown accustomed to thanks to it replaying again and again in his mind was back. Nevertheless, he still had the prudence and arrogance a criminal has.

“Good job…I guess.”

“Good job my ass, you were salivating earlier. Man up or I’ll cut the small balls left in your junior sized pants.”
