do u think prsk writing is good?
it's inconsistent. sometimes it's pretty good, sometimes it's not so good. this is something i would like to go way more indepth on but i don't think i'll have the time for a while, but i'll outline a few things here.
honestly early events are much stronger than some more recent ones. partially this is preference on my part due to preferring more character driven stuff which most early events were, but also in general the writing was much higher quality.
most year one events had a very strong sense of flow between them that has been lost over time. while events usually revolved around one character's issues, they would introduce aspects of the other characters and their issues which would be focused on later. if you read wonder halloween you'll notice there's foreshadowing for emu's arc across smile of dreamer and wonder magical showtime. this is partially because of the fact the events were so early on. we weren't as familiar with the characters as we are now and we were also new to the plots. you can also see how much more cohesive stories were back then as well because of there being way more mixed events marked as key story, like twilight parade and sakura for ln and picnic for n25. while most events still pick up from where the previous left off the sense of flow for most units just isn't felt as strongly as it was going through, say, l/n arc 1.
it also in some ways feels like the writers had a much stronger vision for early events than they do now, though distribution meta may come into play a bit. first arcs were the ones planned from the getgo. this is what they had already planned ahead for by launch. pretty much everything past year 1 was written after the game launched. we know they have a clear end, and it's evident they also had a clear start. we're currently filling in the middle and some events really feel like there's a slight lack of vision for the middle. vbs is a good aversion what with rad weekend having happened (aside from arata and souma's arcs lmfao), but other units and characters feel shafted.
to add to that last point as well as distribution meta. tsukasa5 is arguably one of the hardest hit. what seems to have happened is that they needed a second wxs event to focus on daigo's troupe, and tsukasa is the character who is most fitting for that troupe's speciality. unfortunately in order to come up with the actual plot, they had to retcon elements of tsukasa's character. tsukasa5 overall is probably one of the worst written of the recent events. it's really rough and doesn't make sense in some parts. it truly just exists bc they needed a wxs event with daigo and a wxs event in that slot.
kanade is another character who got hit hard. while she had the white day event in 2024, she was heavily shafted in terms of n25's story due to the focus being on mizuki and ena for half the year. mafuyu and ena's events were also very focused on them as individuals, leading to kanade getting like no character development for a year.
for non-2024 examples the 2nd arc enders were a mixed bag. step by step is very clearly a shoe-in because they needed to pad for time. retie functions perfectly well as an arc ender and reads like one in a few places, especially near the end. while minori had some good moments in this event it honestly feels like a mixed event. hell look at the banner card. shizuku and airi are also only in this event for a few lines of dialogue it's really rough.
oyf is incredibly rushed and tries to wrap up way too many loose ends from lutf. it feels like this arc was cut short, and you can really feel it in arc 3 when all the loose ends that still existed after oyf get their proper conclusion. side characters barring kotaro excluded, tatsuya and gurney flap had the shittest resolutions ever (tatsuya is also. barely a character lol). kohane had some good moments here, but other than that it was a really weak event.
same can be said for ohe they really needed more time and it's painfully obvious considering how much foreshadowing they did with rui only for... him to get one chapter in an emu event. there's some other things that really make this feel like it was meant to be rui or be two events one rui one emu, like the travelling troupe show. remember when rui wrote that show about his life and wxs rewrote it to show him he had a place with them. clpl doesn't. obviously it's always been important to all of them but it's significance to rui specifically has always been highlighted for obvious reasons. hell it was even mentioned in wxs first live like a couple weeks before this event dropped. while again this has good emu moments and good wxs moments it's painfully obvious at points that this was either a rui focus at one point or they combined two events. i wonder if part of the reason for that is because they realised that rui graduates at the end of the next arc so "wxs disbandment arc 2" (tentative name) will probably be more centered around him, especially with asahi's return looming over the story, and they didn't wanna make it seem like they did the same character arc with him twice.
sayonara persona and starry song are fine.
clpl really fucked themselves over with wles and the event schedule lol.
another issue with the writing from a technical standpoint is that recent events have really obnoxious exposition. listen i know we all make fun of people who only read chapter 1 and 8 of an event but did you know that actually works. you can sometimes even just read chapter 8. there's this need to constantly remind the player of stuff that happened earlier on in the event, sometimes in gratuitous detail, and i can understand why this might be necessary for the really long events like lutf or curtain call, but most events since 3rd anni have been under 1hr 30, in most cases just over an hour. the player can retain significant events that happened in the previous chapter. we don't need it constantly explained and it can actually make the audience less engaged if you constantly treat them like they don't understand what's going on. even for a game aimed at the tween/teen demographic you don't need to handhold them through the story. while yes younger audiences won't have the same literacy as an adult you should also trust that they can follow the basic story and read into basic subtext (honestly prsk is usually fine with subtext this is just an example).
"outline a few things" my ass this is pretty much everything i wanted to say. i do games writing next year and i think we cover VNs so maybe i can provide more insight then if the blog isn't dead.
(obligatory i'm not saying you can't like the events i outlined here i'm just saying that from an objective standpoint they're not the best. doesn't mean you can't find enjoyment in them. like whatever you want i'm not here to dictate your opinions)
#asks#prsks strong points are character writing when they don't write tsukasa5 and also subtext is usually solid.#character relationships r also really good and play into both of those#i thought it was funny when in ena5 they had rui say to the camera that him and mizuki are narrative parallels and ena and tsukasa are a#part of that parallel because i guess people didn't pick up on it. i thought kamikou fes made it obvious. wtv.#i liked when people still argued about it on twitter as well that was funny.#can you tell i often focus on character writing my teachers keep telling me that as well#in some ways i understand why clpl handholds the reader but also that's bad writing and just because the internet has put media literacy at#what's possibly an all time low they shouldn't adjust to that standard. audiences are expected to engage. if you can't do the bare minimum#don't consume media at all. yknow writers for streaming are told to do this shit sometimes because of declining attention spans. crazy.#unrelated mini rant over

✨🎶Hogwarts Confidential is back. Back again. Confidentials back. Tell a friend. 🎶✨
Hellooooooo students! Welcome back to your favorite gossip newspaper. I hope everyone had a good Christmas holiday now let's get into the news and boy do I have a lot of news for you.
Starting off with some weekly updates as usually before we get into the good stuff:
Filch has been announcing a new ban on gummy yoyos? What even is a gummy yoyo? And how have you all been using it to terrorize Filch? (Wanting to know for research purposes definitely not for my own schemes…)
Now some good news. Now that we're back from break McGonagall has stated no exams for the next month so Ravenclaw should throw a party now that they don't have the excuse of their studies to hold them back.
Speaking of Ravenclaw did you all see that game this past weekend? Whoo that was a close one, although it did seem like Ravenclaw was very distracted. Congrats to Marlene on her win in the Hufflepuff vs Ravenclaw game! I know she didn't play but she always wins in my heart [insert heart eyes].
And for our weekly activity because none of us can just stay in and study, Dueling club starts this weekend. So everyone head up to the clocktower this Friday for some awesome battles whether that's between your friends or your enemies. (nobody tell Pomfrey what really happens if you get injured.)
NOW ONTO EVERYONE'S FAVORITE PART, THE GOSSIP:
Starting off congratulations to Alexander Kemet-Ali and Andromeda Black on their engagement this past weekend at the Hogwarts New Year's ball. Alex brought in the new year by getting down one knee and popping the question right as the clock struck midnight. The young daughter of Black saying yes, after worrying us all in her recent post that they broke up before confirming they are actually in fact engaged!
Now onto a new brewing love triangle. Jamie the Ho and Anastasia Selwyn have been dating for the past couple of months as everyone knows but at the Potters Christmas ball it seems as though the Selwyn girl ran off to the gardens only to be seen alone with none other than Phoenix Harvey. Is this a scandal on our hands? It was well known a few months back that Harvey and Selwyn were caught hooking up after a wild Slytherin party only for her to end up with that whore Jamie a few days later. What is this girl thinking?
Ms. Selwyn was also seen leaving the Gryffindor common room crying a couple of days ago. Phoenix Harvey rushed after her to comfort the teary eyed girl. The girl crying over none other than shitty boyfriend Jamie Ho’s response to a photo of the girl having a nice time in his long-time rival's common room. Trouble in paradise I suppose. They should definitely break up.
Actually I almost forgot Kingsley Shacklebolt seems to have confessed his long time crush on the soon to be quidditch player at the Potters ball only to get rejected by the jerk that is Ho as he was dragged away by his girlfriend. How anyone could like Jamie Ho is something I will never understand.
Now onto Hogwarts favorite roller coaster of romance, Pandora Rosier and her significant others??? Trust me you'll wanna sit down for this one. According to sources the young Rosier twin attended the Potters ball with none other than Valentina Zabini only for the two to separate at the party and Pandora to be found chatting with Xenophilius Lovegood in a lonely hallway. The two seemed to discuss their child, a dodo bird whomst I forget its name, and their custody of the bird, as well as confessing previous feelings for one another. Afterwards the girl sought out Zabini and they seemed to have shared a moment? Although that's where the night ends MORE seems to happen a few nights later on New Year's Eve.
But before we get into that let's discuss Xenophilius Lovegood and the reason for Pandora and their discussion over the dodo bird's custody. Xenophilius seems to have never checked on Pandora after her breakup a couple months ago with Pureblood extraordinaire Lucius Malfoy. Instead opting to check on Malfoy and accept an offer of a “friendly dinner” with the boy. Only for Pandora to catch wind and accuse her ex best friend of plotting this the whole time and never caring about her. Which led to them cancelling their dinner with the boy and going back to chasing their longest friend.
Note: some mention from Lucius Malfoy about Xenophilius Lovegood being “the biggest snack”?????
NOW BACK TO NEW YEARS EVE. Pandora Rosier and Xenophilius Lovegood seemed to have run off to once again “check on their Dodo Bird” that Rosier claims is sick. However after their disappearance it seems the two are closer than ever and even seem to be a couple? Confirmation I'm sure will be posted by next week. I wonder how Lucius Malfoy is going to handle this news.
Another note: don't mess with Pandora or she'll steal batteries (and socks??) From your dorm room.
Now onto another world famous couple or should I say ex couple seeing as they are no longer together, Remus Lupin and Sirius Black. Hold on to something because this story is just absolutely ridiculous. The two boys broke up a few weeks ago, seemingly out of nowhere. Sirius Black seemed to be handling it worse than Lupin until he announced a new relationship with none other than Nico Mallory. Lupin also seems to have had a night with Lily Evans after the Evans girl posted a photo insinuating the two hooked up after arriving together to the new years eve ball. Lupin who was also seen getting close with none other than Gideon Prewett seems to be going through a hoe phase. But onto the best part, yesterday at the Hufflepuff party, Lupin was seen getting along very well with Mallory up until it was announced Mallory was dating his ex boyfriend. What will become of the two's relationship? Nobody knows.
Now onto the craziest couple in probably all of Hogwarts. Bartemius Crouch Jr and Evan Rosier. The two boys were seen kissing at the new years eve party only for Evan to barely remember and both boys to consult with long time friend and sister, Pandora Rosier. Evan who is engaged to Petra Elwood seemed to forget about the girl and their arranged marriage after finally confessing his feelings to his friend. The two are now dating and Petra is left in the dust for now. Although it seems Evans' previous confusion on his feelings for Petra have now been turned onto her as she battles with her future husband's new relationship and her own blossoming feelings for the boy. What will become of such a chaotic love triangle? Circle?
Callie held a ritual over the holidays??
Now onto my favorite news, MARY AND EMMELINE HAVE FINALLY CONFESSED TO ONE ANOTHER. My girl Mary finally made a move and it worked out perfectly. The two attended the New Year's Eve Ball and Potters Ball together. I wish you both nothing but the best in your relationship.
Tom Riddle has now become play boy extraordinaire? Tom who seems to run an after school club *cough* cult *cough* has been making moves on Hestia, Mary and Lydia. Even going as far as arguing with Emmeline over Mary and then arguing over Hestia with Marlene. I'd back off if I were you Riddle, these girls are not to be messed with.
Now onto the craziest breakup. Hestia and James Potter are no longer the IT couple of Hogwarts. The only stable couple still being Peter and Gilderoy. Maybe Hogwarts is cursed??? Hestia and James are now co-parenting their cat and Hestia was even seen kissing Marlene Mckinnon twice this past week or so. Hestia better treat my favorite girl right.
Also Marlene found out what I look like because she's my favorite girl, best secret keeper and we possibly kissed the world may never know. Love ya Marls ;).
Also Oliver, Severus and Theodore seem to have something going on but we'll see how that goes I guess? Theodore is making me very confused on what's going on.
We also have another new couple, Aurora De'veux and Mason Haus. Hopefully they can have a stable relationship unlike the rest of us. Good luck, lovebirds!
Now onto our last segment because I'm very tired of writing this long ass update. This is actually currently happening as I saw McGonagall, Filch and Slughorn run by while writing this— have you all ever seen Filch and Slughorn run? It's hilarious. ANYWHO the old ballroom is on fire??? AND an abandoned shed in the forest just past Hagrid's hut??? WHO IS PLAYING WITH FIRE???
Dumbledore is asking for updates or if anyone has knowledge on who could have possibly set these fires?? Apparently matches have been found at the scene of the fire–
That's all for now…
Tah-Tah💋
Until next time.
Remember Jamie's unworthy of your infatuation,
Marlene Mckinnon is hot,
And gossip is amazing.

oh boy i'm gonna ramble, aren't i?
[losing my mind + photo closeups under cut]
...look, I know you're the thumbnail artist for the Team, but BEN YOU CAN'T SAY THESE THINGS. TO ME SPECIFICALLY.
People have pointed out that the left image is from FNAF 4. (so i guess spoiler warning idk)
The context is that it was a puzzle and intended to be open in the same game. However, to this day, no one was able to crack it, and it was never confirmed what was inside that box. Ofc Scott himself planned for there to be more games to return to this point. The thing is, this has been recently changed from "Perhaps some things are best left forgotten, for now" to "Perhaps some things are better left forgotten, forever". For FNAF, it makes sense because the story has changed over time and might not meet the fandom's expectations, but for SMG4?
Here's what we know about the door (literally every mention of it):
When the Castle is revealed, SMG4 goes on to list the rooms the doors lead to...
SMG4: "There's the kitchen, the guest room, my room, the game room, the storage room, the toilet, the exit, and... This... Well... I'm not sure what's behind this door."
Later in the episode, before the Crew went in the gaming room, Luigi points it out again...
Luigi: "Wait, what about that room?" SMG4: "...uh we don't talk about that room."
My interpretation is that Four, since these were his blueprints of the Castle, is aware that something is in there but (1) doesn't even know how to describe it AND/OR (2) doesn't want to reveal it to the Crew. I know for a fact Four suppresses stuff, so no surprise there. There's no reason to have it boarded up unless Four wanted to keep something in. And leave everyone out.
"...for now." yeah, we're gonna have to solve a puzzle aren't we?
As much as this post was simply Ben asking/teasing us, there's no doubt that they're gonna reveal what's inside that room this year. It literally could be anything at this point, from something serious to something embarrassing that Four doesn't want to share. (Then again why have that room in the first place?) Want to take a guess?
but anyway... BEN WHEN I GET YOU BEN— /silly

just read the plot summary for Wrath of the Triple Goddess and. wow this is. painful this just sounds painful to read.
Why is Grover the incompetent inciting incident character? That is not his narrative role ever, really. That's like, the fanon conceptualization of his character where he's reduced down to comedic relief and nothing more. He's mostly exposition and support. Why not have the inciting incident be something about Annabeth's hubris - something that has gotten the gang into situations tons of times before in a way that doesn't put down any of the characters? Heck you could have even tied it into some Sea of Monsters stuff, like Circe having told Annabeth that she'd make a good sorceress. That'd be perfect for how this book literally just exists to be advertising for s2 of PJOTV. Or maybe call-back to Percy's introduction, where he talks about how he doesn't try to cause problems but problems tend to find him. Or use the established personalities of Hecate's animal companions from HoO, since we know they have attitudes. Just what are you even doing here????
#pjo#riordanverse#wrath of the triple goddess#wottg#cotg trilogy#percy jackson#grover underwood#annabeth chase#you're advertising your mischaracterization of characters now!#dont do Grover dirty like that!!!!#i mentioned on discord that this plot summary sounds like a fanfiction plot to me. not in a means of ''oh fanfic inherently bad pbbbt''#cause fanfic not inherently bad. i know many fanfics way better than this. but fanfic-like in this is not consistent with canon#(cause fanfics dont need to be. versus canon stuff which does) and characters are being reduced to flat archetypes more often#which has been a sort of trend ive noticed recently in the franchise. a lot of characters in canon are getting treated more and more#like their fanon counterparts. which is WEIRD! cause we're all aware of how the fanon counterparts are vastly different from canon#and it just kind of goes to show how little the canon is keeping track of their own stuff cause it implies theyre just going based on fanon#just entirely lifting characterizations and concepts and such from the community. which is bad!!!! there's a reason you don't do that!!!!#like aside from it just being bad practice THERE'S LEGAL SHIT YOU CAN GET INTO WITH THAT#this is why you make a series bible Richard!!!!! copying the community's homework won't make them like you more!!!!!

Noticing that TV and film will often have a character either have had an abortion in the past that isn't showcased on screen (and just used as part of the character's ~fucked up and twisted backstory~) OR contemplate getting an abortion in the present day but not to through with it. Just once I want to see someone delete that fetus within the events of the plot and not be like. Extremely majorly punished for it and/or be in the wrong
#ramblings of a lunatic#was watching a tv show w the fam recently and it's the 2nd series of a show that was clearly written with only 1 in mind#so in the 2nd season a character gets pregnant (bc ofc) and contemplates getting an abortion#only to do the whole 'omg she thinks she's lost the baby and realizes she wanted to keep it all along!'#which like. fine and valid and happens to ppl irl I'm sure#but like. this season doesn't establish if she wanted kids prior or if she has a stable job (she was struggling career wise-#-last season and the timeskip this season doesn't go into it)#AND has this fucking bizarre scene w/ her boyfriend (whos mostly been irrelevant and occasionally annoying up til now)#where he says it's 'our pregnancy' that she was going to terminate and when she (rightfully) bites back-#-saying 'you mean MY pregnancy?!' he just. storms off and deflects#which would be one thing but we have to wrap up the main plot so she just apologizes to him (for other plot stuff)#and we're never given any indication that his opinion has changed and they're just happily parenting at the end of the season#which just. left a bad taste in my mouth#like I KNOW i know not every bad thing said on screen needs a big blinking arrow that points out that it's Bad and Wrong#but idk how I'm supposed to feel in a series that has painted itself as explicitly feminist up til this point#presents the outcome of a woman dating and bearing a child for a man w seemingly zero respect for her bodily autonomy as happily ever after#w no follow up#like the whole series is centered on a group of sisters and this pregnancy story happened to the youngest one#who's always seen as needing to 'grow up' in season 1. so assuming this is meant to be building off that arc it's so WEIRD still#bc yes being a parent is an opportunity for many ppl to mature emotionally but that's not really something the character-#-reflects on all season. it's more abt her burying her past relationship w a season 1 guy (who was infinitely more interesting than new guy)#-than anything to do with that#AND EVEN IF IT WAS the notion of pregnancy as a punishment/reckoning meant to make her grow up or take responsibility-#-which is secretly a blessing in disguise i. god the show fell apart so hard here for me#and my mom and sister were just cooing over the baby at the end and i didn't speak up bc i didn't want to be a bitch#and in all fairness I'm probably being a tad uncharitable in this post but like. don't piss me OFF man#anyway. normalise abortion storylines that aren't backstory fodder and aren't fakeouts for baby plots. please

Crazy how I can recount something from my adolescence about how I was raised and still manage to make my therapist (who I have been seeing for Years) still go Oh. That's... 😶
Like obviously professional quick recovery style but like. Has an immediate grounding effect and gives eye opening perspective in point zero seconds. Like ooooohh. You see, I was operating under the impression that like, this is a fairly run of the mill and expected experience for someone like me with my lived experiences. Like I could just say this and anyone would know exactly what I'm getting at without needing to provide all the details and thought processes at play here.
Hm. Well,
#like yeah everybody is at least aware of how my mom thinks and why she would think that way#if you have any familiarity with like the specific christianity we're working with here.#then i said something about how lying by omission was treated on the same level as lying#if not WORSE actually because that meant you'd be lying about lying. so you're punished more harshly for it#i said all that as like. really standard thought crime and morals about honesty stuff. like everyone knows this.#then i got hit w the Ohhh. that's. and i'm just like. oh. maybe i should elaborate huh#i genuinely thought we were working w the same level of background information here. okay let's back up#anyways. very special shoutouts to everyone who was so kind to me actually about my recent posts#i was gonna get silly but like genuinely. i am so relieved at the responses i got.#i feel like i can have a little more faith in myself and my work now. thank you

WUMPTOBER 2024 LETS GOOOO
(From: Random ROTTMNT oneshots, for Whumptober!)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Day 4: Hallucinations + Day 8: Sleep deprivation
"USE THE TRANQUILIZER!"
That was the last thing that Donnie heard before his head got fuzzy and he passed out.
A white room.
That was the first thing Donnie saw when he woke up.
As Donnie tries to move, he realizes that he's strapped to a chair.
Which....isn't great.
He also doesn't have any of his gear. No battle shell, tech gauntlet, not even his mask. Him missing his battle shell is definitely the most worrying though. Not only is his shell now exposed, but he also doesn't have any of his tools he stores in it—you know, the tools he has to escape from situations like this?
As Donnie struggles against his bonds, the door to his room opens. A tall-ish man wearing sunglasses and a suit walks in. "Hello turtle."
This random man calling Donnie "Turtle" already sent tons of warning signs off in Donnie's head. Who does he think he is to call him that? So Donnie says just that.
Well....he tries to.
As Donnie tires to speak to him, he realizes that he's wearing a... muzzle..? The man has the audacity to chuckle at his confusion. "I assume you've noticed the muzzle? Ah. Well, you see, you were very violent when we were trying to catch you. We didn't want you to be violent when we were talking to you." Donnie growls at the man. "Yes, I suppose you can still make those animal noises. It makes sense considering what you are."
Donnie assumes that he looked confused because the man started to talk to him more. "You see, my name is Agent Bishop. You are currently in the custody of the EPF. You are a mutant, as I'm sure you're already aware, and here at the EPF we swear to protect the world from the likes of you." Donnie tries to speak again and grunts when the muzzle prevents him from doing so again.
Bishop chuckles again before turning around to leave. "Remember my face, turtle, as it will be the last face you'll be seeing for a long, long time." As Bishop walks through the door, Donnie can't help but think about what he means by that. I mean, how would he even stay alive without someone feeding him and giving him water? He's pretty well aware that the EPF isn't going to let him go and feed himself anytime soon, but they need to feed him, right?
Ah, so this is what they meant.
It's been....what, two days now?
All Donnie can think about is how hungry he is.
They're torturing him. For some reason, this isn't exactly what Donnie had ever envisioned if any of them were kidnapped by the government in some sort of way. He'd always imagined that they would've cut off one of their legs, put them in an electric chair—he doesn't know—something other than this! Not making him go through fucking sensory hell.
It doesn't even make sense to Donnie! He's just sitting here not doing anything with no noises around him...oh, okay, that makes sense. There's nothing. Its not that there's too much.
Donnie scoffs quietly to himself, or at least, as well as he can with the muzzle on. If they thought that they were going to make him go crazy by taking away everything from the world around him, they were wrong! He'll never fall victim to any of their games.
Three....days..?
Donnie can't even remember. The lights are burning his skin. He can't sleep. He's starving. He's dying from thirst. He's...seeing things..?
Donnie thought he saw someone entering the room today, but no one was there. Even though the person stood there for hours and it hadtohavebeenrealithadtohecantlivelikethisanymore-
Four.
Days.
Someone came in,
and fed him.
But,
he didn't notice.
And now he feels like such an idiot.
That was the only person he'd seen in days,
and he barely noticed them.
He's so tired...
Another person came in today.
They weren't a hallucination.
They couldn't have been.
Six days...
That person in the corner has been such pleasant company...
They just....sit there...they listen to my ramblings.
They listen to everything.
And then they leave.
They are not a hallucination.
They're not.
They're real.
Yes, they never say anything, but they're there.
Notahallucinationnotahallucinationnotahallucination-
Whenever they imagined any of them being kidnapped by some sort of government organization, they never imagined something like this.
The guards were easy enough to take out; the hardest part was just finding Donnie.
And when they did...he was just in a white room. Nothing more, nothing less. Just a white room with a chair right in the middle of it. The one Donnie was strapped to.
He was skinny, like, really skinny. He had dark bags under his eyes, he had none of his gear, and he was wearing a muzzle? What exactly....happened to him...?
When they walk up to him and wave a hand in front of his face, he doesn't even register it. "Donnie..?"
.....
Even when they speak, he doesn't register it.
Leo looks at Raph with a conflicted expression on his face. I mean, what were they supposed to do? Donnie doesn't even seem to know they are here...
When Leo looks back at Donnie, he is very shocked to see that Donnie is looking right at him. "Hi...Donnie?" Donnie just continues to stare at him. Raph walks up behind Leo and puts a hand on Leo's shoulder. "Okay, how about we just take Donnie home? I doubt he wants to stay here any longer..." Leo shrugs and turns around so he's not looking at Donnie anymore. "I guess..."
Mikey comes up to Leo and ingulfs Leo in a hug while Mikey starts crying. Leo pats Mikey's head and picks him up so he doesn't have to walk out of the building himself. He can hear Raph breaking Donnie's binds and Donnie letting out a confused chirp, which was definitely strange to hear Donnie do. "Uhh...what do we do about the muzzle, Leo?" Leo sighs and just starts walking out of the room. "Just wait until we get home, I guess."
As they walk out of the building, Leo wonders what exactly the dumbass "EPF" was trying to do to Donnie. Starving him and not letting him get any sleep? What was that supposed to do? Maybe they just wanted Donnie to go insane or something....
Leo looks back at Donnie, who's being carried by Raph. Donnie looks at Leo, and Leo looks at Donnie.

aaAAa idk what Daima's gonna be like, but whether I love it or hate it, I can rest easy knowing that the production crew got a decent timeline (~2+ years for iirc 10-20 episodes? citation needed but usually things are in production for at least a year before they're announced, in my experience, and it was announced last year) and what appears to be a great budget.
It's the first Dragon Ball series to be written and directed by women, which is something I thought I'd never live to see. It's the first Dragon Ball animated series that Toriyama was personally and heavily involved in, and he seemed to be having a blast on it. And personally it kind of super actually fr chokes me up a lot to think that his final project was getting to revisit Kid Goku for one last adventure, especially since he wasn't involved in GT outside a handful of designs.
Also I know the last episode is going to emotionally wreck me, because Toriyama passed away during production and I just know whatever the cast and crew put in there to thank him is going to fuck me up!! I am going to cry.
#someone on reddit theorized that daima was a 'season break' before Super picks back up on the Moro arc but god I hope not#Not unless Toei goes back and fixes the rest of it if we're basing the story on the manga now you go back and you get your shit right#while I was looking stuff up I found an old 1996 interview of Toriyama being mad about the anime's version of Goku and it's all the same#shit I complain about re: Corporate HeroMan and it was so vindicating kalsjdkajs#it also cited a more recent interview about how Toriyama's view on Geets has changed over the years and how he's come to love his#likes his “coolness and aloof superiority.” Aloof Toei. Aloof. Google that word. Stop writing him like an insecure chihuahua.#He's a retired war dog and a super bitchy house cat rolled into one guy. una pantera.#anyway I'm ready and I'm not ready but I'm ready#Toriyama said that it's not just action so I'm!! I hope we get slice of life character stuff like we did with broly and super hero.#we know a man loved his dialogue and banter and goofy jokes so god willing those were the primary influence for the writer#dbtag

talking to new people again is making me realize that (this is gonna sound dramatic) i haven't lived in five years but what i have done is watch a lot of movies and read a bunch of books and believe it or not that actually makes me an interesting conversationalist in some ways (?)
#and like i say: brf slt#they don't know i'm crazy and as long as you're normal about it having seen a lot of movies just makes you come off as someone who's like#interested in culture i guess. which i am. but it's fun#and the books thing too and also knowing a lot about sociology#i have things to say jokes to make so in two months they haven't even realized i haven't lived a life yet🙏#i didn't even do it on purpose the way it happened is in 2019 i was very depressed suicidal etc then i got better but i was focused on#like...idk. basically getting used to being okay with being alive again? then it was 2020 and we didn't have classes in person full time#until september 2021. that's how it was for university students here. i did hang out with people but no one i LOVED or actually became#close with and it's true that i could have tried harder but i didn't because guys i love being by myself😭😭😭#then three years went by and now we're here. it's fine it's just that i don't have a lot of anecdotes that aren't old because LITERALLY#nothing has happened to me. nothing#that's not true i did talk about something semi-recent to my bff on friday it was about my 'friends' who hated on everyone the same way i#did when i was literally 12 and about how anxiety inducing it was because after a while i was like is this how they talk about me when i'm#not around🤨 i actually talked about that then. january or february 2023#this has been in my drafts for a week and i talked about the post i talk about in that last tag last week when i talked about my mutual who#blocked me that's the post she replied to to give me advice😔#also it's funny i said they don't know i'm crazy and a guy asked me what my favorite tv shows were and i don't know why i actually gave him#my full list like it's funny because like i said they think i like like good movies and good television and interesting books and stuff#and i know the shows i told him made him reassess that (which is fine but it's just funny) and also i told him i'm watching gilmore girls#for the 18th time and he was like you're joking i was like hm...and then he was like no you're being serious because it's way too#precise...and THAT i could have not told him. i was like whyyy did i tell him that...but it's fine#HE HADN'T EVEN HEARD OF SUCCESSION? 34-year-olds...#i mentioned the sopranos a couple weeks ago and my future bff was like what is that and i was like ? then i asked two more people and they#didn't know the show either so i was like i'll ask him (34-year-old) i know he'll know the sopranos and he was like OBVIOUSLY i know#the sopranos it's supposed to be one of the best shows of all time and later i asked if he had seen succession and he'd never even heard of#it? crazy. i mean if it had been anyone else i wouldn't have thought it was crazy but i expected HIM to know succession

weekend melancholy is starting to kick in >~<
#im gonna go and do my food shop etc to keep myself busy and hopefully my 2nd meds will kick in and we'll be able to handle it together#i think i kind of do this so regularly bc my brain is just processing everything bc i dont rly have time during the week#all cool tho im doing good overall def on the up n i feel way more capable of coping emotionally which is nice. i <3 meds#also.. possibly settling on the idea that i might be agender. very tentatively. lots of experiences n thoughts coming together rn#ive been reacting in unexpected ways to a lot of gendered shit atm which has made me reconsider the way i think abt myself#but very difficult to articulate it to myself let alone anyone else. so ive been sitting with it for now until it precipitates#gender stuff has never rly affected me much or ive never been in a place to explore it which is why i havent thought abt it super hard#but im not the sort of person who needs a lot of internal exploration to figure out my identity like im v self aware tbh#and while im wildly indecisive abt most things in my life for some reason i never have been abt stuff like this. i learned abt lesbianism#like idk 9 years ago-ish and straight away was like yeah that makes sense for me. never looked back since#n similarly ive experienced forms of gender dysphoria before n just immediately dealt with it symptomatically n moved on#its never been smth to agonise abt for me like i know what makes me comfortable in my skin so theres no question abt doing it#and ik im privileged to be able to do that. and also it helps that gender for me is mostly divorced from external perceptions#+ that im v autistic so social pressures dont stick to me very well. i mean yeah i was bullied for it as a kid but i was stubborn asf#so yeah from the moment i realised i was genuinely uncomfortable/upset abt it earlier this week i was like okay. lets try this instead#its given me pretty instant relief from any distress i was feeling so far which is nice. rare respite from one of my torture labyrinths#just testing out internally whether it frames things more clearly n makes me feel more myself/at peace before i choose to stick w the idea#but not gonna do a whole coming out fanfare either way. dont think i wanna change how ppl interact w me + im still a dyke#so i dont consider it relevant to anyone else unless they share a similar understanding of gender to me. or if we're v close#ill prolly broach it w other trans friends eventually bc insert philosophers talking image. but to everyone else its business as usual#happy to play my cis-sona at work. + w new queer ppl i meet ive been introducing myself recently w mirrored pronouns instead of any/all#and i think i prefer that. virtually indistinguishable but theres smth nice abt inviting ppl to recognise me the way they do themselves#like translating + localising a non-gendered language into a gendered one... simplifying decisions abt how to perceive me#and ofc ppl are still gonna perceive me however but idc much unless we're actually friends. the rest is all a performance anyway#doubtful anyone on here ever has reason to refer to me but if u do for some reason... im freeloading off ur pronouns now btw <3#but yeahhh. much 2 think abt. i need to read more alien/ai sci fi.. non-human sentience has been such a comforting concept lately#but yea tldr i woke up one morning this week like damn im prolly agender but i have a full time job to go to rn so idc abt that#.diaries#okkkk my dex is kicking in im no longer on the verge of tears lets go get these groceries wooohoooo

Having a burst of new(?) alter reveals this past week which can only mean one thing: the deep pit of horror that maybe we're faking this is looming ominously once more
#/semi-lh. we don't Actually believe we're faking so we're just trying to make light of the feeling#would like if it didn't distress us so much though maybe#also we've been under prolonged stress so this isn't exactly a surprise? but... the vibe we're getting from a lot of these guys#is that they've BEEN here for more than the last couple months and only just now are being identified comfortably#at least one of them we Know he's been here for years bc we kept thinking we'd 'kin' his source at the time but just#never had any 'memories' for him so we just kept hovering over the 'kin' button. and Waited indefinitely#but even the more recent ones are ones we've written for fanfic whose voice is 'unusually clear' or we've seen glimpses before#stuff like that. so none of them are necessarily responses to the Current stress either#part of the reason we're so anxious ig bc we feel like that implies there's Another Wave waiting to reveal itself until some time passes#ramblingonandon#sys.txt#do i even tag who these are about? ig for now it's mallek nemona arven and red#and neo who's an oc from high school so Definitely been around for a bit dngjdjcjwjdjsd

not a fan of when im doing behaviours that i know arent healthy and im self-aware enough to see them from the outside like im banging on windows asking what tf is going on in there??? can only shrug and keep on being so desperately afraid of conflict to the point that people will treat me badly probably without realising that's what they're doing and i'll say nothing about it unfortunately
#it's cool im looking for therapists but atm. ooh the things are piling up.#me#personal#to delete#i dont usually like posting about myself going Through it but for some reason today was a slight straw on back for me#and i have no other outlet because i need to be vague and i need the void that is this webbed site#recently confessed to some people that im conflict averse and i realise that i dont say this to a lot of people#and now im wondering whether that might be a step in the door#letting people know where my boundaries are on this -- the difficult thing is then letting people know when they step over them#because some people DO know this about me. but dont seem to realise when they're taking out their personal stuff on me#more noticeable still because they're not doing it to others around us and i dont think anyone else is noticing#just me noticing#so how do you get from step a to step b. therapy probably#we're dealing we're feeling the emotion and then we're moving forwards on it#i wish people were nicer though

been recently getting a lot of activity and even some new followers on this lil blog that is still mostly just reblogs and so now that there is more of an audience I am contractually obligated to be annoying about this: if you enjoy insane gay relationships like destiel, try no. 6 my best friend no. 6. it is absolutely nothing like spn but the main characters still have a strange amount of destiel energy and parallels (dramatic fateful first meeting, turning your back on everything you've ever known and loved for one (1) cute guy, he teaches you doubt and you teach him faith, etc.)
I think there is especially crossover appeal for agincourties because my special little guys could absolutely pull off a "merciless fucking god" scene and do in fact have something kinda similar (Shion confronting Rashi and the fallout, IYKYK.)
it's unambiguously canon and unlike spn the writer doesn't actively hate the fans which is a nice change of pace. one half of the ship canonically gets turned on when the other half tells him that he'll give him a kiss before slitting his throat. this is directly after they both climbed up a mountain of corpses btw. they are both incorrigible freaks and they're always flirting at the worst possible times. please join me in hell.
#my first followers here were mostly longtime followers of my main blog and are well aware of my no. 6 neuroses lolol#anyway they recently gave us a FUCKING STAGE MUSICAL???? after 11 years with no new content#and look not a day has passed in thirteen years without me thinking of Them#but the brain wasps are currently at critical mass now that i have new stuff to chew on and i NEED to spread the Good News#plz import spn fandom talent and prolificness. plz.#we're also in secret santa season for the tenth year running!!! signups for four more days still!!!!!#anyway if this gets you to read or watch no. 6 and you enjoy it PLEASE tell me. if you don't like it don't tell me#because i'm a big sensitive baby about it lol

hello, I have a question, are u going to make another werehog au story, reading the projectnewmoon story makes me wanna read more about the werehog.
I already have some more stuff planned for the project: new moon blog (which will involve the werehog of course). I also have other aus I wanna write for that involve the werehog but I'm not sure if/when I'll get to those so no promises
#asks#i think this is a good time to remind ppl i'm a fanartist first and foremost#my focus with my art is NOT writing. that's a side thing. i mostly draw#(even tho i've been struggling with that a lot recently but we're just gonna ignore that for now)#please don't expect a lot of fanfics out of me. project: new moon literally took YEARS to get to where it is rn#and I doubt I'll be able to write more multi-chapter stories like that one#also please be patient if it takes a while for me to get to writing stuff I said i had planned. writing takes a lot of time for me
