#Transformation project sd

[cateyedfox36]

I made a poster board!

This was meant to go to work, but apparently we can't display solicitations bc as always the MLM huns ruined it for everyone.

So here it is! I was feeling very elementary school science fair when I made this and gosh I am delighted!

I'm starting bright and early tomorriw- I'm cheating a little by already starting 'When the angels left the old country" but it's so flapping good you guys!

Ok the organization is my local trans support project that provides clothing and other necessities to trans folks in my state. If you want to donate to your own, that's cool, I know in US every state is going full nazi on trans folks, just keep in mind SOUTH DAKOTA is a trash pit of human rights and were very small.

Heres the link. Any amount pledged helps.

The English Stabel Part 1

Daniel Craig is the owner, boss and CEO of his won company named Craig Systems in the Worldwide distribution of his specially engineered laptop.He invites me in to his office the very next day early in the morning I walk through the swinging door and say hello to the guards as I enter the elevator.My boss is literally the only one then I can see across from me I cross the lengthy hall way and makes my way to his room with a scowl on my face.

He slams his fist on his desk with a hard fist demanding that I close the door behind me and stand In front of my desks before he sighs.I can hear his deep breathing so I sit on the chair next to me awaiting for whatever he is about to unleash on me in a fit of terror I am use to. He apparently wants to go over my project so even though he is expecting a sd card for him to input I surprise him with a lengthy stick.

“This is not a fucking game Lawrence! I am your boss get with the program.” He howls at me to which I smile pointing the wand at his face. “What the fuck stop! You fool.” He is stating pointing me with a harsh tone till I roll my eyes at him which only made him more angry at me. Angrier he gets the steam steams from his ears enticing me to new levels where the minute press a sole button on it a laser shoots straight in to his eyes.

I instruct him to stand by the window so I can see him in the light he is not that bad looking with a serious cold expression on his face to say fuck off and I walk over to him as I plant a kiss. “You see so much better to do as you are told, forget who you are and become all mine.” I whisper in his ears before I sit him down on the chair as I slip on to his lap feeling him up I enjoy my conquest.

Unfortunately for me his son Tom enters the scene with a smirk quickly transforming in to a expression of disgust and he is about to pummel me with his fist he races at me butI set my foot forth as he trip and fell forward on to the carpet.The anger rises when he stares up at me as I close the door once more he attempts to tackle and I let him succeed in that because he is already mine.

when he pins me down he catches wind of a strange beam floating through the room. My hand took the beam leading his eyes to the mirror I press the button as the laser hit the mirror shooting back at him it split in to three lights of beam one to his forehead and the others in his eyes. He froze in time with his body stuck I laugh rolling his off my body and I kiss him the I snap my finger as both men rise there feet they fall to his knees in utter obedience.

“Daniel and Tom! Can you both hear me right now? You both shook your head in total obedience as I agree with them knowing you both belong to me.” I smack my hand together feeling them rub on together in succession the window shades drop and the local settle I point upward as they rise begin to do a striptease for me on my command I have taken absolute control of them forever.

They fell to his knees they both crawl over to me sitting on their knees they begin rubbing my legs sweetly kissing them with time we all learn and I pull them up to my lips one arm of each of them land on my shoulder as I smell the intoxicating aroma spread on to my body we start to make out with each other heavily. “Mmmm! Oh My Master Lawrence.” Tom states. “My love, you are my god.” Daniel begs.

Daniel and Tom leave the day early carrying me with them on a work errand taking me to the family mansion in the cars we race on to the streets we drove off to the city streets of to his mansion. “Good bois! Meet me in the living room we have to plan some things out for the longterm starting with you guys sign over everything to me and you gleefully agree with me.” I say with pride as they sit down.

I did not realize that they were planning to have a barbecue that day for the launch of his third eldest sons twenty four seven holiday hotel. His name is Jamie he is pretty hot amongst the hottie and the family he is someone to be reckoned with an evil looking skull on his face as he stares at me and is ready to approach me. Tom stands up as blocking him from attacking me but of course.

He throws a punch and he hits his dad to which he is in complete disbelief at his own behavior and he beg his father for the man’s forgiveness but Daniel does not care so he ignore him. I nod my head alerting, both of my slave men to jump into action instead beside him again, and they slip in back of him grabbing his shoulder, they pin him down still looking at me such affection of love.

Using the wand I gave him pressing the only button as he freezes and call for the two men to set up the barbecue and get it all set up to they exit not to happy they had to leave. “Jamie can you hear me? “ I ask he shakes his head answering yes to me as he licks his lips listening to my every word we go upstairs clean him up and get him dress for the party.

“Go place the this as card in to the lap top so you can enjoy true mental recalibration while dancing away to your madness and total surrender.” He replies doing exactly as instructed the music starts when Ellis walks in to the massive backyard he lays his hand on the wall and he began to lean on it lost to the sound.

“Ellis right? That’s your name come join all of the dancing.”

“Good boi! Flow free”

“Party hard let all else go”

“Embrace the craziness “

“Join the fun”

“Enjoy me”

“I am your Master”

“Master Lawrence “

“I love you Ellis”

“Please meet my son James”

“Nice to meet you !”

“Who are you ?”

“Do you like the music?”

“Answer the question “

“I bet you do”

“It’s in your head “

“Feels so good”

“Stop”

“You can’t think”

“STOP”

“Mwahahahahaha “

“Admit “

“Nnooo”

“Admit”

“You are hot”

“Yes”

“You want me so bad you can taste me”

“Hi, I am Henry”

“Yes Master Lawrence”

@peachshadows / @terrible-leviathan Finally, I managed to crank out this chapter. Features: SD!Shadowpeach being desperate to keep their cubs and the universe conspiring against them.

No one knew why Emperor Wukong and Empress Macaque executed the Ivory Lady so brutally. She had committed no crime and hadn’t even presented herself to either of them during her time in the Celestial Realm. But she had offended them in some manner and paid the price.

Many whispered that the demon’s death had something to do with the Prince. He didn’t look so well after he briefly spoke with her, after all.

It must’ve been an attempted assassination, many guessed. And it must’ve been a close call too with how the entire palace hadn’t seen a hair or tail of the Prince ever since the incident. No servant was allowed into his quarters - not even to bring food. Nearly all of the servants mourned the Prince’s absence. He was well loved and well respected by the staff because of his considerate treatment towards all of them. He protected them from his parents’ wrath too.

There was no one to protect them now.

Unlike her older brother, Princess Xiaodan was sighted out of her rooms many times, but never out of either parent’s arms. They held her close and tight no matter how much she whined and wiggled as if she would disappear the instant they weren’t touching her.

When the confusion that followed after the Ivory Lady’s execution settled, the Emperor demanded certain treasures and texts to be gathered and destroyed. Many historians and celestials who clung onto traditions tried to fight back against the Monkey Emperor’s orders. Even the Brotherhood stepped forward, questioning Wukong’s unexpected decision to decimate priceless artifacts.

But then, the Emperor and Empress brought Azure, Peng, and Yellow Tusk in for a private meeting. They came out of it completely shaken. Whatever the rulers told them changed their minds completely about the matter. Azure Lion personally saw to it that the artifacts and texts were all gathered and destroyed.

What in the world did the Ivory Lady do? Many could only wonder and speculate.

All of these whispers reached Macaque’s six ears, of course. He’d usually laugh at how nonsensical and outlandish the rumors were. But not this time. Not when the truth was even more unbelievable.

And frightening.

Another world. Macaque could barely fathom it. Time travel itself was a feat that went against nature, but traveling different worlds?

The fact that MK and A-Dan ever came into their lives was only because of a mishap - a one in a million chance - was heartbreaking to Macaque. Instead of being part of a hopeful future, the cubs were simply an impossibility that managed to land in Macaque and Wukong’s laps by mere chance, ready to be taken away at any moment. The bitterest part of Macaque chided himself for being so surprised. It had all been too perfect, too good to be true. He should’ve asked more questions. He should’ve listened to MK in the beginning. He should’ve known better.

But Macaque knew that even if he had exercised some caution, it would’ve changed nothing. MK and A-Dan fit into his heart and his life so perfectly that he couldn’t imagine a world without them anymore. He’d break if they ever left. He was certain of it.

But Liu’er Mihou was never one to let go of something precious once he had it in his grasp. He didn’t when it came to Wukong and he wouldn’t now with his cubs. They were his. It didn’t matter where they came from. All that mattered was that they weren’t going to leave.

And if the him from the other world ever came to take his cubs away, Macaque would be ready.

Macaque heard the sound of a cleared throat, jerking him away from the whispers and his thoughts. Azure stood before him, looking hesitant. Usually, the presence of the Celestial Beast would have elicited some instinctive feeling of irritation and paranoia, but Macaque felt none of that now. Just exhaustion.

“Azure?” The name would usually hop out of Macaque’s tongue with a spit and hiss like a piece of hot coal thrown into water. It almost sounded normal now, like how he used to call for Azure back when things were new and simple. It surprised Macaque and, almost hysterically, he wondered to himself if this was a sign that the world was ending.

Azure was similarly surprised. He was so caught off guard that he floundered for a bit as if the lack of vitriol stole his voice. Grimly, Macaque thought that it was quite ironic that he managed to make a fool out of Azure in the moment he wanted it least. He graciously gave Azure the time to recover and make whatever report he came to deliver.

“All documents and artifacts connected to time and space have been gathered and destroyed.” Macaque could feel the tension in his shoulders relax at the news. “We’re combing through the libraries and the treasuries for the second time to be sure, but I am confident that we got them all.”

Macaque took a shaky breath and closed his eyes with sheer relief. “Thank you, Azure,” he said - and he meant it. There was a time that saying those words to Azure was an impossible trial to perform, but when it came to his cubs, moving mountains didn’t seem so difficult. “It might not prevent them from coming here but -

“It cuts down the chances of Prince MK and Princess Xiaodan from leaving,” Azure finished. “But just in case, we are all preparing for the worst.”

“…Has MK left his room yet?”

Azure shook his head, looking genuinely sorry. Macaque didn’t bother to hide his disappointment. He knew that his eldest needed more time but…he didn’t like seeing MK so upset with him and Wukong.

“Give him time,” Azure soothed. “You have all the time in the world for him to accept his circumstances and forgive you. As parents, you both must make difficult decisions for your cubs in order to keep them safe and happy.”

“Speaking of difficult decisions, I’m late for a very important meeting with Iron Fan,” Macaque sighed, ears twitching as he heard his sworn sister’s voice in the palace. “Setting up a last-minute engagement ceremony isn’t an easy task.”

And it truly wasn’t. But ever since learning about the truth, the entire Demon Bull Family and the Dragon Family’s Heiress were quite insistent on making the marriage happen. Red Son and Mei both came to Wukong and Macaque to beg for MK’s hand. And who was Macaque to stand in the way of love, especially when the pair had proven themselves capable and strong. Besides, Red Son and Mei were one of the few people MK interacted with. As much as it pained Macaque to send his eldest away so soon, it was for the best. MK needed more bonds to tie him to the world and more reminders that this world was better than his old one.

As Macaque met with and discussed plans with Princess Iron Fan, Red Son and Mei went to visit MK. Much to their dismay, MK refused to let even them enter his room. No matter how much they pleaded and cajoled, he kept his door shut.

“Maybe today is just a bad day. We can try again tomorrow,” Mei comforted Red Son as he moped on their way back.

“But he’s never turned us away before…”

Mei gave Red Son’s shoulder a squeeze before pulling him into a one-armed hug. “Awww, don’t let this get you down, Red! Maybe he’s just super-nervous about the engagement ceremony.”

“Do you really think so?”

“Yeah! I -

The pair’s conversation stopped the moment Wukong came into view with A-Dan in his arms. Red Son and Mei immediately untangled themselves from each other and bowed.

“Your majesty.”

“Hey kids, visiting MK?” Wukong greeted, all too used to their presence by now. “How is he?”

Red Son’s shoulders slumped. “My Prince…did not let us in.”

“No?” Wukong’s smile disappeared, making the pair flinch. While the Monkey King had never raged at either of them, they had witnessed his anger enough times to be wary of it being aimed at them. Thankfully, Wukong’s mood only dropped into a resigned sort of disappointment instead of anger. “Well. That’s too bad. Guess he’s experiencing some engagement ceremony jitters since that’s coming up soon. Isn’t that right, A-Dan? Gege is in a silly mood and wants to be alone.”

At her father’s coo, A-Dan’s ears twitched and she giggled.

“No! Silly Baba!”

“Oh, I’m silly, am I? What did I get wrong?”

“Not alone! Gege with friend!” A-Dan exclaimed proudly. Unbeknownst to her, Wukong, Red Son, and Mei all stiffened and shared sharp looks. “Silly Baba.”

Wukong continued to smile at A-Dan. “Yes, yes, Baba is silly and A-Dan is right,” he agreed with her. “Will my smart girl tell me about Gege’s friend? I want to meet them.” And learn about how they managed to sneak through the security.

A-Dan raised a tiny finger over her lips. “No tell. Promise. Secret,” she whispered before bursting into giggles.

Wukong was not as amused. Not only his son, but this nameless threat was casually speaking with his daughter too?

“Did you hear that, Moonlight? MK has a new friend over. I know you’re a little busy, but why don’t you drop by and say hi? I’ll be there with A-Dan and the other kids in a sec.”

By the time Wukong managed to reach MK’s room, his Moonlight was already on his way out with an amused quirk in his smile.

“Mama!” A-Dan chirped. Her tail wiggled happily when he took her from Wukong’s arms and kissed her cheek.

Wukong looked from Macaque to the now-closed doors of MK’s room. “Moonlight, did you find��?”

“He was experimenting with Shadow Magic and tired himself out,” Macaque explained with a hint of pride. “His new “friend” must’ve been a shadow clone he managed to manifest in front of A-Dan.”

“Just a clone?” Wukong could hardly believe it. All that stress and panic over nothing?

“Yeah. Just a clone,” Macaque confirmed gently. “We’re all a little high-strung. I think we deserve a little break.” Right at this moment, A-Dan let out the squeakiest yawn. “How about a nap?”

“A nap sounds great, actually.”

“Good, it’s decided then. We’ll take a nap,” Macaque announced and started to guide his mate and his daughter to their quarters. Red Son and Mei left the family after saying their farewells. Later, as they laid curled around a snoozing A-Dan, Wukong felt Macaque’s tail wind around his for comfort.

“We won’t lose them.”

“We won’t.”

“We know everything that’s happening and we’re making moves to prevent every scenario.”

“Exactly.”

“Everything is going to be alright.”

“Everything is going to be alright. We’ll make it out of this on top like always. You’ll see.”

As the Emperor and the Empress closed their eyes and allowed themselves to rest with their daughter, certain events were already set in motion. In the mortal realm, a certain pig demon and his human huddled over an illegal scroll and found an answer. At a certain peak at Flower Fruit Mountain, three pieces of a broken stone egg started to glow.

And in his room, MK slowly slipped out of his bed and approached his mirror with an expression filled with hope.

“Still there?” He asked his reflection.

“…Yeah. Still here.” His reflection smiled back reassuringly. “They’re coming soon. Just hold on.”

OMG I love this one. I just re-read it a short time ago. I've always had a fascination with the paranormal, and I really loved the concept of Poe investigating a haunted house with Rey as the ghost. But... how to give them a happy ending? So, I turned it into a curse rather than an actual ghost story.

BTW, the house in my moodboard is the Adams House in Deadwood, SD. Our local paranormal group offers 'ghost hunts' there every October, and my brother and I went one year. So fun, and so much history. I want to do it again!

Some Thoughts About the First 3 Episodes of Mobile Suit Gundam [0079] Part 2

*Spoiler warnings again for both Mobile Suit Gundam and The Witch from Mercury.

*I forgot to mention this in Part 1, but the first time I saw Amuro in animation isn't 0079, but was instead the time he met Hello Kitty, who proceeded to transform his enemies into super deformed versions of themselves:

*And yes, you should watch this, even if you know absolutely *nothing* about Hello Kitty or Gundam (or, perhaps especially if you know nothing). Incidentally, super deformed (SD) Gundams have a long history in the franchise, so what Hello Kitty does isn't even that weird for Gundam (just imagine if she met Suletta instead, and transformed Aerial).

*Another thing I forgot to mention, was that the show's pretty competent about transitions: the Zeon's soldiers earlier were scouting Side 7 via binoculars, which led to them spying Fraw's buggy and switching to her perspective, and her discussion with Amuro about his dad incidentally transitions to scenes with the folks working on Side 7's secret military projects. While the titular Gundam is one of those projects, it's not the only one: I've mentioned before that several characters will be joining White Base, which is a new battleship the Earth Federation has been constructing:

*Shiny! And yes, very toyetic, though I'm growing to get very annoyed at people who refer to Gundam shows as toy commercials as a pejorative about their storytelling quality (some folks have been especially fond of talking about Witch from Mercury that way, and always for the same reason).

*Aboard White Base, we get to meet Amuro's dad, Lieutenant Tem Ray.

*The book he's reading is the instruction manual on how to pilot the Gundam, which I believe was written either partially or in whole by him (yes, this will be important shortly). The other guy with him is Bright Noa.

*So, Bright is rather (in)famous for slapping Amuro at least once during Gundam (maybe more?), so much that there's memes about it, and that, along with the fact that he's a captain, is probably one of the first things you'll hear about him. However, this is an excellent example of how memes decontextualize stories, and fun though they can be, can give you an extremely wrong impression. See, when I first heard 'Captain Bright Noa slaps Amuro for insubordination', it gave me a rather negative impression of him, since it sounded like a military officer flexing his rank against a kid who was drafted into battle (and understandably not okay with this). But if you actually *watch* 0079:

*It turns out Bright is only a few years older than Amuro, and is very much a teen himself who's only been in the military for half a year. Meaning the only way he's becoming a captain anytime soon is if he's the highest ranking officer who's not dead or incapacitated.

*In short, yes, Bright Noa using physical force against Amuro still isn't a good thing, but this is also very much the story of (essentially) someone who'd normally be a freshman at college being put in charge of a bunch of high-school-aged kids in a life-or-death situation and finding himself a bit in over his head, so I'm inclined to be a bit more sympathetic than I might otherwise.

*I really like this scene, even though I find it sad. Tem is very clearly talking to Bright here, but the camera notably focuses on Amuro, and it's pretty good foreshadowing if you didn't know Amuro was getting in the Gundam. With the passage of time, this scene has also taken on a layer of dramatic irony as well.

*I'm also not sure what to make of Tem from this scene. He seems friendly enough to Bright, and seems distressed about the idea of kids like his son fighting in wars, so he doesn't really come off as someone bad (except for the naive belief that you can build a weapon strong enough to end war, of course). While Amuro and Miorine seem to have a bit in common, I'm not sure yet how much that's true of Tem and Delling, aside from being military officers who want to protect their children, since Tem doesn't really seem like the sort of guy who'd authorize the UC equivalent of the Vanadis Incident. I'll have to mull this one over a bit more.

*It seems that unfortunately the White Base was followed by a Zeon ship, which was where the Zaku pilots were dispatched from, which segues into the audience meeting this guy:

*Char Aznable, whose very first lines instantly reminded me of this exchange between Belmeria Winston and Prospera Mercury:

*Char is is quite possibly the most (in)famous Gundam character, to the point that he's featured in commercials for cars and fast food (in Japan at least), and, of course, a number of memes. An examination of Gundam as a whole will reveal that many shows feature at least one mask-bearing antagonist or rival, who's typically manipulative and/or vengeful, and all of them can be traced back to Char. While I will be mentioning points of similarity between him and Prospera, I honestly feel like the connection between these two is by far the most obvious, and that it might be more worthwhile to discuss the ways in which they differ.

*Case in point. In addition to having unusual perspectives on luck (likely influenced by their high levels of confidence), Char and Prospera also have a good grasp of tactics, and are generally skilled at predicting opponents and choosing good moves to counteract them (though they are not always completely successful).

*Their attitude toward subordinates is also noteworthy. Prospera doesn't have a lot of interactions with her Shin Sei staff, but her calmly interrupting the one in the screenshots above (during the stress of the attack on Plant Quetta no less) is the rudest I've ever seen her act toward any of her them. In general, she seems to be a congenial boss who doesn't seem to get angry at her employees for disagreeing with her, a trait Char seems to share with how he treats his followers (so far anyway), and which is probably remarkable to me due to how often I see antagonists act like jerks to people loyal to them. Of course, both Char and Prospera are also known for manipulating people close to them, so how much this might be an act versus how much they genuinely care about others is ambiguous (and, admittedly, makes them interesting characters to observe).

*Char's mention of mobile suits shifts the scene back to the three Zeon pilots from the start, and one of them, Gene, decides that spying on the mobile suit project isn't enough, and opens fire.

*Amuro leaves the shelter to look for his father, and has his first encounter with a mobile suit.

*Anyone who's seen all of Witch from Mercury will already be aware that, leaving aside any armaments, the sheer size of a mobile suit is already incredibly dangerous to a human, as the Zaku simply taking a step knocks Amuro around a bit and prompts him to get in the buggy he and Fraw were in and drive.

*Amuro finds some soldiers and asks for help, but they meet a very abrupt end:

*You have absolutely seen shots like these before in anime, but I recently learned that they're typically referred to as postcard memories, a technique pioneered by Osamu Dezaki back in the early 70s, and since made ubiquitous. It's use is particularly interesting here for a couple reasons, the first being that MSG was made less than a decade after Dezaki started using this animation technique, meaning it would still feel relatively 'new' to audiences at the time. This shot also experiments by including some more traditionally animated objects in the scene, namely the transparent books and papers flying forward on the left side.

*The other reason, is that typically these were shots shown (at the time they were first used at least) to mark a transitional point, either narratively or in a character's arc, and while my knowledge of 70s anime is currently impoverished, I think Gundam may have been among the earliest to use this in such a tragically violent way (possibly beaten out by The Rose of Versailles since that also came out in '79, but I'm not familiar enough with that one to be sure). In any case, this a transitional shot, as it marks Amuro's first encounter with the horror and death caused by war, and the end of his childhood.

*This is a rather somber note to leave on, but at least next time we'll be finally seeing the eponymous Gundam, so hopefully that's somewhat comforting.

...to be continued in Part 3

On impulse I started a project attempting to make an SD Gundam Woundwort in scale with some SDs from a DS G generations game. I failed in that goal mostly because this is pretty much half the size of the rest of them but I'm happier with the end result of an insanely tiny articulated Woundwort SD. The figure has 13 parts, 11 joints, 20mm in height, was printed on a Mars 2 Pro in Siraya tech Fast Mecha resin and took me a day to get it this far along. It's currently unfinished as it needs the rest of the head and crotch to be complete but I'm very pleased with the current state of it, It's a rare thing for me to show a 3D printed project these days. The joint design is all pulled from a 1/144 Optimus Prime I have in my backlog making this a very very technical Transformers retool, as well as using universal balljoints and sockets on every joint except for the elbows. I intend to make other SDs following this design style and scale for maximum kitbashing fun!

So episode 7 am I right?🥲

Anyway, Made me look back on the original ideas for “Bleeding Rose” and more so the Oilrose arc, and holy quail did it transform into something shorter for the most part, but also the ANGST is real!

Anyway, here’s the link to check it out, Little explanations being dialogue heavy(cause I’m lazy) and here’s a first look at SD-R, in the revamp, now known as RT!

(Initially I wanted R to have long ears, and as a pup they’d be nonstop tripping over them, so using Tessa’s bow, J would have tied her ears up to look like almost a bun, but apparently I’m not talented enough to do that yet, so yeah, flopped over for now honey🥲 Also J sucks as a mother, but even more now😅)

catching up on book reviews

ok so these are all going to be FIVE STAR reviews!!

Because they're all amazing. And so very different!

starting with the Middle Reader, we've got The Witch Boy by Molly Knox ostertag. It's sweet and kind, and the art and story is perfection. This book is about the dangers and damages that strictly enforced gender roles can have on not only children but adults as well.

Next is Cheer Up: Love and Pompoms by Val wise and Crystal Fraiser. It sits on the middle of middle reader and young adult, dealing with a few more adult issues like dating and harassment, but handled in a softer, cozier way.

THE Witch King by H.E. Edgmon is decidedly a Young Adult in the best way. Wyatt is a 17 year old kid, who's trans-ness isn't the most complicated thing about his life. Nope. He's actually a Witch, from a secret society of Faeries in Upstate New York, engaged to their prince and oh yeah, a fugitive from the corrupt faery police. Bc of course he is. It's not subtle but a lot of fun.

Nimora by ND Stevenson- their publisher needs to get off their asses to fix their names!- looks like young adult, but it is an intense ride. Nimora is savage and chaotic I love her.

GenderQueer is a memoir by Maia Kobabe, pronouns e, eir, em. It's a beautiful, brutal, uplifting, heartbreaking read. Weirdly I kinda get why it gets banned so much. I'm a fucking adult and Gaia Goddess it was hard to read at points, and if you're so very scared of your kid being any kind of different (queer, nd, mentally ill, disabled ect) this will scare the fuck outta you. But any one, even a kid, who seeks this book out deserves, needs to read it.

And please please donate to any trans organization you can! But for me I'm asking you to donate to the TRANSFORMATION PROJECT OF SOUTH DAKOTA. Any amount helps.

Commission written for the delightful DreamingS0LDIER! Summary:

As work at SDS dies down a little, Cloud realizes that Zack hasn't been sleeping and takes steps to remedy this.

Excerpt:

He felt Zack stiffen next to him, but didn’t stop. Another moment of pretending he didn’t notice for the sake of continuing what he was doing.

“What is this really about?”

“We haven’t had much time to ourselves is all. I miss afternoon naps snuggling with you.” Cloud said, shrugging one shoulder. He didn’t have to feign the yawn that punctuated the sentence, at least. Which, thankfully, lent weight to Cloud’s push for a nap.

It was a lie, maybe, but there was plenty of truth in it, too. He missed those slow afternoons where they could rest and nap together.

Tonight I finished another run of Banjo Kazooie - The Jiggies of Time. Congratulations Mark Kurko, you've made the first romhack I've ever gone back to play start to finish. Eagerly awaiting the next full length hack.

For those not in the know, this is a hack of Banjo Kazooie that takes place in the world of Ocarina of Time, that's an over simplification because it isn't simply placing Banjo into a copy pasted Ocarina of Time map like people did with Mario a while back. I HIGHLY recommend checking it out, it's almost as good as an official sequel if you ask me, and it runs on a real N64 ( not without a few issues but nothing that ruins the experience )

Thoughts on my second time around? Yup. Still fantastic. I did update my rom to the latest version to get rid of a few irritating design choices, so now Death Mountain isn't Rusty Bucket Bay engine room tier difficulty. I actually wasn't going to update but that part kept kicking my ass.

One unfortunate side effect of this being my second play through... I can never get the actual ending again unless I delete the whole save off my SD card and start clean, because at the end of the game, you're supposed to get "The Triforce", which completes the story. This is accomplished by modifying some of the Stop 'n Swop items, but the thing about that is, you collect those things in one save file, you get them across all save files. So you can't collect them more than once. You only really miss out on a music jingle and a few lines of dialogue though so it's not that big of a deal, you still get a "The End" splash.

I do think the Mumbo transformations kind of suck, but that was pretty true of the original game as well. They all just do the same thing, get into small space. The final transformation is the absolute worst because it jumps around, has to do tough platforming, has a lot of backtracking to do, and the manner in which you discover the transformation absolutely shatters the amazing atmosphere of the final level.

It makes me wish there were a lot more hacks like this. We were going to get Link in Mario 64 in a similar style, but sadly the dev has canned that project. Best we'll get for now is Kurko's next big mod, Nostalgia 64, and an upcoming "Mario in Banjo Kazooie" hack but that seems to be something we won't see for years.

Anyway... fun mod, I repeat what I said before. All Banjo fans should play this, regardless of if they like Zelda or not.
