#a bunch of cool weird strangers have appeared

[unknowablez]

i’ve recently started posting my art, tossing it hopefully out into the public void and wishing for it to land on the feeds of people like me. it has done exactly that.

i read all of the tags. you are hilarious and creative.

every comment/reply, reblog, and like fills me with happiness. i have offered you content with a tentative smile and a shaky thumbs-up and you have met it with wide grins and enthusiastic finger guns.

Name: Rip Cheato

Debut: Paper Mario

Hello! I am glad you made it. You are just in time, because some guy is here. He's here looking for You! He wants to sell you a Dried Mushroom for 64 coins. Will you buy it? It's not a good deal, but consider this: he has a sort of lamp antenna growing from his scalp. I think that is pretty cool, personally.

He probably makes good use of his lamptenna, since he lives in the sewer. I bet a Sewer Man would know his fungus! Maybe his Dried Mushrooms are impeccable. Maybe he even dries them with his lamp. Don't be judgemental, now. Don't judge someone because his name is derived from "ripoff" and "cheat". Are you the kind of person who would immediately assume someone smells bad, just because their name is Poop Fartley? You better not be. Rip Cheato's name is a little deceiving because while he does sell junk for 64 coins, if you buy what he offers, he'll also sell Star Pieces for 64 coins, and Hoo-Wee! That's a Hot Commodity! I trust him. I think he's just being cheeky for fun.

Name: Chet Rippo

Debut: Paper Mario

Now this guy is whuzzah! What's the deal with this guy! Rip Cheato is weird, true, being strangely human in a game where those are quite limited, but he has a theme going on. He looks like a Sewer Man. Now here we have Chet Rippo, who is some sort of alien platypus clown umbrella? I don't know what he is, but I think it is absolutely splendid. To quote an ancient philosopher:

"Sometimes in life, there is a weird guy." -Opabinia

If I didn't know any better, I might think Chet Rippo would appear from a UFO or circus tent or perhaps a dimensional portal. He doesn't! He just hangs out in Toad Town. He's a weird guy, but a weird guy is still a guy, you know? Except this is no normal guy because he can alter Mario's abilities! For 39 coins he will raise Marios HP, FP, or BP by two points, but- and this is important- he says "heh heh". That means he's shady! For each stat he increases, he will decrease the others each by one!

This makes Chet Rippo far stranger of a guy. Someone in real life could sell you overpriced garbage. But someone in real life altering your stats for a low price? Scary to think about! Imagine someone granting you the ability to remember twice as many bug facts as you currently can, but also making the vision in your left eye worse and making you 25% more sensitive to cold. Frightening magic! But at least the guy doing it is a funny creature.

Chet Rippo appears in The Thousand Year Door as well, but like, does he really? This is a whole different design, and it's not nearly as fun... Eyes In A Void Wizards are fun by default, and so is wearing a barrel on one's head, but this game has a bunch of Eyes In A Void Wizards, and this guy used to be one of the weirdest creatures in the entire game! To hell with this guy. Let's look at his better version again.

Look at him go! Like a flapjack octopus! His arms are even like the fluttering fins! Could he truly just be a big octopus wearing a weird hat? We may never know...

== Love Notes ==

It's weird sometimes writing love notes for past days. Today (the 6th) is so much different than the 3rd/4th and so I feel strange writing things when we all can change in a day. So tonight I'm going to mention something I'm seeing all week.... all the time even. I have watched you all from so many platforms this past week, and I continue to be in awe of you. I see people sending each other love notes from across the planet. I see artists who are drawing things JUST to help reduce people's anxiety and give them some distractions. I see people stepping out of their comfort zones and sharing WIPS because they want to make people smile in these hard times. No matter what happens in this world, you are the good in it.

Please remember to tell yourself that. So much kindness, to strangers, to moots, to acquaintances -- people you've met in person, to people you've never met but talk to online. You are the change this world needs. You are the kindness this world needs. They can't take that from you, only you have that power. You are strong, and you are brilliant, and kindness is your strength. Keep shining lovelies. You're doing all you can, and it makes such a huge difference in so many lives.

[bathomet-writes]

plus-size reader headcanons!!

relationship: Romantic 2012!Turtles x GN!Reader (separate)

warnings: romantic, fluff, humor, sfw, headcanons

author's note: for anonymous!! 💕 i've never written for the 2012 turtles but HOPEFULLY this was good..im looking forward to writing more for them in the future tho

In general, your weight isn’t really a topic of casual conversation with the turtles. Unless you specifically bring it up, it isn’t a thing they talk about. You were you and there was nothing else to it! Who were they to cast judgment upon someone for their appearance?

I mean, look at them. They’re mutant turtles. 

But, they all make you feel more accepted than you’ve ever been. You can really be yourself around them! The turtles treat you the same as anyone else they know. 

….BUT

If you were to ever date one of them—

leo:

if you’re ever insecure about yourself, he immediately wants to know how he can fix it!

he’s very much a gentleman, almost annoying so lol

a family member made a sly comment? your mom is going to get a very stern talking-to 😡😡

a stranger made you feel bad about your body??

well……they’re probably in mortal danger 💀💀

he feels VERY protective over you......a surprise to no one

not that you need any special treatment or anything, but he’s at your every beck and call

leo’s not super comfortable with physical expressions of affection………

but you’re the one exception

lots of blink-and-you-miss-it smooches before running away!! 

if you’re both standing on a rooftop during patrol, he’ll work up the courage to plant a kiss on your cheek

[runs away giggling] that, he’s that meme

it’s a little weird, but incredibly sweet 💖💖

despite being a bit shy, leo’s a real goofball

only because he feels so comfortable around you

earning your trust is like..the most important thing he’s ever done

and he is going to take your relationship SERIOUSLY 😤😤

lots of space heroes marathons where he can have you all to himself (he’s kind of selfish about how much of your attention he gets lol)

donnie:

(for whatever reason) he’s the most chill about it than his brothers would be

donnie’s a smooth operator 😎😎

….at least he thinks he is

he’d try and be suave and give you a bunch of compliments and praise 😘😘✨

whatever you choose to wear, he’d be the first to mention how fetching you look in it 💖

if there’s a fictional character you somewhat resemble, he’d be lowkey really into them

changing his phone background, having many photos of them, making off-handed comments about how cute he thinks they look, etc.

he’s not nearly as smooth as he thinks he is tho

donnie’s experience in courting is…..let’s just say ‘sub-par’ 

you’ve seen how weird he can get when he’s head over heels (with his crush on april)

his crush on you is embarrassingly obvious to everyone, no matter how much he tries to play it cool

he certainly gets an A for effort tho 🥴👍👍

“Do you have…feelings for me, Don? Feelings that border on love?” 😏😏

…………😳😳💦

“Aw, sewer apples.” 

raph:

he’s a bit awkward around you at first…..

raph is used to roughhousing with the people he likes (mostly his family) so he’s nervous about accidentally hurting you or making you uncomfortable

for as callous and rude as he comes off, he’s a bit of a softie when it comes to you

NOT THAT HE GOIN’ SOFT 😤😤

and he doesn’t think you’re anymore soft or delicate…….nothing like that, you’re just too important to treat carelessly

he thinks about you constantly 😵‍💫😵‍💫

raph doesn’t realize it, but he kind of loves the way you look

not in a romantized, idealized way…but he thinks he’s being weird

the last thing he’d want to do is make you feel objectified

or that the only thing that matters about someone is their physical appearance

but….he can’t deny how flustered he gets around you!!

when he’s not a stuttering mess, he loves showing you off ✨✨

p shameless about throwing his arm on your shoulder or other affectionate gestures (hair tussles or noogies, all that good stuff)

will absolutely YELL at you if you ever said anything negative about your appearance

“Hey, if you ever insult my favorite person again, I’ll beat you up!”

“…..Wait, I’m your favorite person?” 😳😳

“WHATEVER.” 😤😤😡😡

mikey:

you sometimes feel a little conflicted about hanging with mikey

because he’s very prone to hugging

not that you like his hugs, they were just a little more enthusiastic than you’re used to getting!!

and they last for a while

you’ll get hugs for minutes, even hours if you’re not careful

it’s nice….if not a bit strange

with an amused smirk, you interrogate him while he’s somehow playing video games in front of the tv

while also hugging you??

“Am I just trapped here forever?”

without looking away from the tv, he nods

“Yup, trapped in my hug prison!” 😄😄

..he’s just secretly really into hugging you

mikey’s usually an open book about his emotions but he’s VERY shy about the subject

boy can’t handle his feelings!!

you’re just too nice to hold onto, hugging you is so much better than hugging anyone else

if you bring it up he just gets v flustered…

“IT’S NOT WEIRD TO WANT TO BE CLOSE TO SOMEONE 24/7!” 😖😖

giving him a big hug will shut him right up 💖

Wtf Is Shock Treatment’s Deal? (Or, Local Critic Discovers Escapism and Having Fun In The Midst of Late Stage Capitalistic Dread)

Watched Shock Treatment for the first time this week, and I am a changed man lol. Here are some disorganized thoughts:

I think something that makes Rocky Horror so special is that it can be as deep or not-deep as you want it to be. Like, if you want to think about the cultural implications of the themes portrayed (hedonism, gay & trans liberation, gender roles, the Invasion-of-the-Body-snatchers style infiltration of outside queer forces, the downfall of the safety contained within a collective identity), you can absolutely do that! There’s so much to be interpreted there!! But if you are just here to see Tim Curry looking incredibly sexy and violently thrust along to the Time Warp at a midnight showing with a bunch of cool strangers, that is absolutely awesome, too. Slay!! Take what you want.

BUT SHOCK TREATMENT MANNNN??? Shock Treatment is a whole different ballgame lol. Like, it is also a thematically rich goldmine, if you’re willing to squint a little— in terms of content included, not necessarily how it’s portrayed within the narrative. In the words of Barry Bostwick here, “it was a statement about the future that we weren't quite ready to explore. We didn't really even have the mental emotional vocabulary to understand what Richard [O’Brien, the creator] was trying to say.” I think this is spot-fucking-on!!! It’s absolutely frighteningly prescient, especially today in terms of the commodification of mental health. Like, woah. Janet being crowned “Miss Mental Health” felt like such a Gwyneth Paltrow moment. Cultural prophet Richard O’Brien saw the dark cloud of Betterhelp and wellness culture galloping over in the horizon in the distance of the American landscape, and he set out to warn us.

I still don’t quite understand what happened in the movie. I still don’t know what my takeaway was supposed to be. And I guess if you’re a little insane and love having fun doing thematic analysis with weird media (like me), taking Shock Treatment seriously may be right for you, lol. But thematically overall I think it’s safe to say: it’s a lot less coherent than its predecessor. It’s messy. It’s not interested in being flawless. It’s not interested in appealing to an audience. It’s barely interested in being a sequel. Shock Treatment is lowkey pointing and laughing in the face of those who showed up expecting a masterpiece— which admittedly was me, because I take Rocky Horror pretty seriously. (I put off watching Shock Treatment for a while bc I wasn’t sure about how it would affect the Rocky Horror Universe I had in my head.) If not for the internet reviews prepping me, I would have walked in completely expecting another nuanced perfect symphony of a movie to measure up to Rocky Horror’s magic.

But the thing was? Watching Shock Treatment, it ended up I did not really care!!!!! I was having the time of my life!!!!!

(more under the cut whoops)

Wtf was going on!!!!!!!!!!! Who knows!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I still don’t quite know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I loved it!!!

This reaction of such joy, just letting myself vibe out made me think because when did I start getting surprised when watching a movie is more pleasurable than not??? Isn’t that the entire point of media??

I think with the modern commodification of media analysis and examining pop culture up close, I’d argue that Fun Media without a message is actually pretty hard to come by— at least in mainstream culture. Even stuff as sanitized as Disney movies are now digging into like generational trauma, appealing to what seems to be a collective search for depth (or at least the appearance of depth.) Modern neo-nazi brands of fascism wields power like never before, horrific images of violence follow everyone left and right. Sometimes it seems like this open secret, that everyone knows there’s this looming darkness at the forefront of our minds at all times.

So this transition from Rocky Horror to Shock Treatment felt actually sort of powerful to me. Rocky Horror’s generation-long reverberations of shamelessly depicting sensual revelry are so powerful; it’s bold even for today! (Of course, we all know transvestite isn’t a term commonly used today, but looking at it through the lens of its time, it becomes clear what a miracle the movie is. Knowing what it must have meant to queer people at the time it became a phenomenon— giving them a real space to be themselves in a hostile world criminalizing who they were, in a time of oppressive pressure to stay silent — that is the type of brave blatant acceptance hard to come by in any era.) Rocky Horror is something I don’t know if will ever happen again, and its sequel seems to concur.

Shock Treatment has been called a cash grab but I beg to differ. If you’ve seen it, no offense: but does this seem marketable to you??? It seems like it’s a Richard O’Brien project (already wacky) that went through several levels of development hell and heavy modifications through the creative process. Said with the utmost respect… it may have got away from them a bit. Put lovingly, Shock Treatment lowkey kinda sucks a little at times. It’s silly, it’s got a huge cast and musical fun galore. It’s serving B-movie realness. I don’t say this to bash on it, I say this with a bemused respect— I think the existence of Shock Treatment is as much a miracle as Rocky Horror (aren’t all creations???)

So in the first iteration, we have advocacy and fighting for freedom for those long silenced… but also, Shock Treatment seems to allow the creators to just let themselves have fun. Aren’t they both revolutions in their own right? Does everything have to be lasting cultural milestones or does our enjoyment matter in the moment? I’d argue we need both as human beings to thrive. It comes back to that Rocky-Horror-experience philosophy I covered where you’re taking what you feel you need most from the media you consume: a message or a celebration of just being here.

In conclusion, sometimes shit doesn’t have to be that deep. More movies should just say “fuck it, we ball” and give you the most absolutely incoherent fun time of your life. I love not taking things seriously, and I love creators willing to not take their work seriously. Perhaps Richard O’Brien also had a premonition with Shock Treatment in the sense of how he just had fun with it! Maybe we need less attempts at masterpieces and more attempts at just creation for the joy of it— or both, because joyful creation makes masterpieces!!! I’d love to see more creators of every skill level and every background, known and not known, say fuck you to capitalism and expectation and marketability and just say, we’re gonna do it anyhow, anyhow!!!

DmC: Devil May Cry Thoughts

So I finally decided to experience the DmC Reboot, and my overall verdict is: Not As Bad As I Expected. 

I took notes, so let’s break it down. This is over 3 pages in a doc btw, so buckle up I guess. Hope it was worth the wait.

What I Liked

Level Design

This is probably the game’s biggest strength. Great amount of variety, and the atmosphere of each level was great. 

Limbo is a really cool concept. 

The twin’s special abilities (like Dante’s grappling hook type weapons) made for some really cool platforming. 

The typography really works in this game. Like, words and phrases appearing in the environment to taunt Dante or just provide additional flavor to whatever is happening. Very comic book. 

The Bob Barbas boss battle had a really cool neon techy aesthetic, which isn’t something I would have expected for this game. Neat!

The game show levels leading up to Lilith’s boss fight were cool too! 

The Succubus boss battle made really good use of the environment. 

Enemy Design

General demon mobs are automaton-like, which is pretty neat. I’m not a fan of that sort of aesthetic, but I respect the creative direction. 

All the bosses had decent variety in terms of design and battle mechanics.

Item/Weapon Design

I think this was another pretty strong point for this game

It’s a small thing, but the designs of the orbs were nice.

Rebellion’s shape shifting is neat. Rebellion doesn’t really have any cool powers like Yamato does in the mainline games, so it was nice to see it do something besides being a big sword. 

AQUILA IS SUCH A COOL WEAPON

Ebony and Ivory were pretty, but didn't seem particularly useful what with all the other weapons Dante had at his disposal.

Misc

Combat looks dynamic and satisfying, and I can see the influence it had on DMC5’s combat. 

The voice acting is good

Occasionally, it was genuinely funny

The Vergil gameplay at the end? INCREDIBLE. 

The music was good. Nothing really stood out to me, but it did enhance the game. 

What I Disliked

Lilith

I really hated her character design. And I’m not saying it wasn’t effective character design, or that it was bad. I just personally didn’t like it. 

Her weirdly pulled skin, the corset piercings, the way her skin bunches up around the tops of her gloves… ugh. 

And maybe that’s the point! I’m probably supposed to find it offputting! But I hated looking at her. 

Pregnancy is a really intense squick of mine, so all that was just no! No! No! No! 

I wish I could unsee her boss battle

Minor Design Complaints

Dante’s DT design was a little disappointing, especially considering how well designed everything else is. 

Yamato’s design was also lackluster. 

Misc

The fatphobia was disappointing but not surprising, especially considering the year this was released. 

Mundus sex scene… ew

The sniper abortion scene wasn’t as shocking as I expected it to be, but it sure was there

The way Vergil pronounces Yamato lol. Ya-MATT-o

Pronouncing Mundus differently was a little weird. The mundus amungus…. 

Mundus’ boss fight was uninspired. Wow, a giant statue trying to squash Dante on a platform. Never seen that one before.

A lot of this game has a ‘gross’ factor, which I’m not really into. That’s just personal preference, because I do think it mostly works in context. Just not my thing. 

Characters:

In general, I found the characters to be pretty one-dimensional. 

The Twins

The two of them working together in Mundus’ tower, one in each world, was really cool. If you’re going to have twins in a setting with two worlds overlapping, having one in each is (chefs kiss). Being able to play as both of them to achieve the goal would have made it even better. 

I really enjoyed the scenes they had together, but there just weren’t enough of them. 

It was nice seeing them share physical affection (in the form of a mutual shoulder pat)

But “I loved you, brother” just didn’t have the emotional impact I wanted it to have. 

And the issue is really… they’re strangers. They may be brothers, but they barely know each other. Their relationship just didn’t get as much attention and buildup as it should have. 

Vergil

He’s so friendly and helpful sounding at the beginning, it was kind of cute. 

But it is revealed he’s pretty cold and calculating, willing to sacrifice Kat because saving her wasn’t worth the risk to him. 

His mad hax lol 

give him his hat back, cowards

Even though he was carrying Yamato around, I wasn’t sure he could even fight until the very end. He just seemed so weak. The thing about the twins is that they’re equals on the physical level. IDK, it was just weird to see a Vergil that didn’t fight. 

honestly, a way more interesting character than Dante.

Dante

A devil-may-care character that learns to give a shit? Always a classic. 

As unnecessarily edgy as he seems, his poor coping mechanisms make sense for how he grew up. 

Kat

An assault survivor, because of course she is. It’s just disappointing. Was it necessary? Was it??

Overall, she’s fine. No real strong feelings about her. 

Despite having a ‘role’ (guiding Dante through Limbo and helping him escape it), her job could have been given to Vergil and the game would have worked fine. Maybe even better. 

Sparda and Eva 

Having Sparda outlive Eva and be responsible for hiding the twins was an interesting choice. I also like that we have confirmation for what happened to him (eternal torture). 

I would have expected an angel and demon to be a power couple, but they seemed to have been beaten pretty easily. For plot, I guess. 

The Story

I wasn’t really all that invested, tbh. There’s nothing wrong with the story, but at the same time there isn’t really anything notable about it (except Vergil’s bit). 

It’s a hack n’ slash, so I’m not expecting a masterpiece, but it was pretty one note.

WHY is there a war between demons and angels? Where did the Nephilim come from, how many were there, what role did they play? More importantly, why should I care about any of this? 

The twins avenging their parents should have felt like… like taking on a mantle to continue their cause, and I really didn’t get any of that. There wasn’t any weight of legacy. And the main games handle that so well. 

Overall, I just felt like there wasn’t enough emotional impact, especially between the brothers. There wasn’t enough time to really grow to care about the three protagonists, imo. 

Dante's character arc is... learning to give a shit, I guess, but even then, his decision to be the protector of humans feels really out there. Did he really show that much growth throughout the game for this declaration to really feel deserved? Rewarding?

Likewise, Vergil's shift from revolutionary to would-be king is equally abrupt. Like maybe the entire point of it was to be out of left field, but from a storytelling standpoint... an out-of-nowhere twist like that just doesn't feel rewarding. Having more time with Vergil as Dante throughout the course of the game, to have a subtle buildup so that when you look back and say 'the signs were all there and I missed them', that would have been really good. Like, disregarding the fact that any fan of DMC knows Vergil is going to abandon everything for power.

Vergil’s gameplay and story at the end was a lot more compelling than the rest of the game combined. It’s literally the only thing I’m interested in learning more about. 

Final Thoughts

The game was… alright. Not as bad as I expected it to be, but I’m not sure I would call it good, either. There were a lot of really interesting concepts that just didn’t reach their full potential. The ‘hard’ elements like design and combat were there, but the characters and story were lacking. Making a DMC game heavily influenced by the Divine Comedy is a great idea! 

I think that there are two things that really held this game back. 

Making it a DMC game. As its own thing, it could have been really good. Could they have told a story based on the Divine Comedy with twins named Dante and Vergil without stepping on DMC’s toes? Probably not. But with some changes, it could have worked.

The marketing. I didn’t see it in real time, but we’ve all heard of the weirdly homophobic marketing for this game. And I think that really soured people’s opinions of the game. Still does, tbh. ‘Dante is not a gay cowboy’ as if that isn’t his entire appeal….

Anyway, I don’t think it quite deserves the hate it gets. If you go in knowing you’re not getting a ‘real’ DMC game, it’s not bad. 

Rating: 5/10 

[tellthemeerkatsitsfine]

Mentioned to my mother today that I'm going to two weddings in the fall, and one has a dress code marked "formal", which is unusual. All previous wedding I've attended have just said "semi-formal", or not specified, so I assume "fancy but doesn't have to be, like, a ballgown". I own one dress, I've worn it to every wedding I've attended as an adult and to about two other events from the last ten years (my university graduation, this one time I went to a show that required formal attire), it's fancy but not, like, a ballgown. I don't like wearing the dress, because I don't like wearing fancy clothes of any kind and I don't like wearing feminine clothes of any kind and this is both, but it's relatively comfortable as far as those things go and I'm willing to wear it to events where the dress code calls for such things, for the sake of just getting through it without causing a dress code-related problem.

I figured I'd just wear that dress to both weddings this fall, until I saw the "formal" designation for one of them, and I don't know if my dress is fancy enough to count as formal. But, the "formal" wedding is between two men, and right underneath the words "formal", it says that this is a gay wedding, so feel free to push boundaries if you want and not feel confined by gender roles, within formal dress codes.

I was talking to my mother tonight and I mentioned this, saying I'm not really sure what "formal but it's a gay wedding so no need to be too traditional" means, aside from, I guess, you can wear formal clothes that are aimed at any gender and it doesn't have to be your own gender. So who knows what I should wear?

I said this because it happened to come up in casual conversation, and then my mother suddenly ran to her closet, took out a hanger with something under a cover, unzipped the cover, showed me a proper formal tuxedo, and told me it was my grandfather's, she took it from his house (she cleared out his old house last year when he and my grandmother moved into a care home and they stored a bunch of stuff with my parents - she didn't just steal it or anything), and she's been meaning since last year to tell me she thinks I should have it. I have no idea how long it would have taken her to tell me that if I hadn't happened to initiate this conversation.

I don't like fancy clothes of any kind, it's not just about the gender thing, it feels weird and uncomfortable to dress up at all. But fancy clothes that don't specifically mark me out as feminine feel much more comfortable than fancy clothes that do. And much more importantly, I remember spending so many of my teenage years getting into fights with my mother, sometimes huge screaming fights that ended with me in tears because she didn't understand me and her in tears because her dreams of fun girl time with her daughter had been ruined by a daughter who didn't understand the female bonding culture that she wanted to share with me, huge fights at least once a month or so for years over my refusal to wear girl clothes or show any interest in clothing at all. Multiple fights were started by my mother making me come watch What Not To Wear with her, because she really did believe seeing the explanations on that show would help me wake up to the importance of worrying about your appearance, and it made me do was express sympathy for those poor people who had some strangers come in and tell them what to do.

Anyway, I'd still rather wear jeans and an old t-shirt to the wedding and also to every other occasion, but given that I will conform to a dress code when I know it actually does matter, wearing a tux is the best possible option. In fact, I think tonight my mother finally got what she wanted for all those years, which was me getting slightly emotional about clothes. Pretty fucking cool that at 33 I've finally established a relationship with my mother where she saves my grandfather's tux and decides she wants me to have it (and I have a brother, but she specifically chose to give it to me). Even though it took her nearly a year to remember to tell me.

Time for another incredibly indulgent post on the incredibly indulgent blog and if you didn't see this crossover coming already, you haven't been here long.

Anyway. Awhile back, I mentioned in an ask response that one of the stupidly indulgent things I would love to do is rewrite an old request to more blatantly be a crossover (since the only outside-one-canon character that appeared was my player character, it didn't much count, because she was easy to disguise), so here's an extension of the concept! (Also, most of my followers on this blog are from the MDZS side, so my GW2 reference links are for them. Cool? Cool.)

Gorrik and Taimi (the two pipsqueaks on the right) with assistance from a very understanding Commander and Shade (my sylvari twin girls) venture into The Mists to see if there's anything left of Blish's golem body that can be recovered for a memorial. They find the right area, but it's super wrecked from when Kralkatorrik arrived. Gorrik insists on searching anyway, and the others aren't going to tell him no.

Because the Dragonbrand in Ascalon and Elona didn't just vanish when Kralkatorrik died, I'm assuming his magic has some ontological inertia, so a Brandstorm kicks up while the small group is searching. Gorrik and Taimi get separaed from the Sisters and wind up getting tossed by the winds through a small rift.

Dazed, disoriented, and possibly injured, the pair drag themselves out of the bushes they landed in, only to find they've landed next to a hunting camp inhabited by a bunch of humans who look and dress somewhat similar to Canthans.

(cut to spare dashboard scrolling)

Either by magic or by sheer luck, there's (barely) enough language similarity for Taimi to (sort of) tell these strangers that they're not monsters or looking for a fight, that there's been an accident and they just want to go home.

The humans confer amongst themselves before one is sent off to grab-

"Reinforcements?" "Just their leader... I think. I hope."

Meanwhile, Nie Huaisang has been having a very weird week thanks to reports of strange purple lights and lightning in otherwise cloudless skies. Given the particular colors, he's still contemplating whether or not to contact the Jiang sect about this when a messenger arrives from the camp on the southeast side of the mountains, saying that two weird small creatures fell out of one of the holes made by the purple lightning and are asking for parley... sort of.

Curious despite himself, Nie Huaisang saddles up a horse and follows him back.

Those are indeed small weird creatures. But he's willing to hear them out, since they waited without trying to flee or attack his disciples.

It takes a combo of talking, little tiny glowing pictures coming out of the creatures' gauntlets, and drawing pictures on paper, but he manages to work out most of the story.

And... well... if anyone can understand being a younger brother desperate to bring even the tiniest piece of his big brother home, it's Nie Huaisang.

An arrangement is made where, as long as they don't make trouble and help with the unwanted light shows, Gorrik and Taimi can stay in a little-used room of the Unclean Realms while they try to find their way home or wait for rescue, since they're adamant that the Sisters will not just leave them.

And their conviction proves accurate. Only two weeks later, two more strangers arrive at the gates of the Unclean Realms. One woman(?) resembles a flower vine and the other the aftermath of a forest fire, but their faces are identical down to a mirrored burn scar.

Taimi and Gorrik are overjoyed and relieved to see them, and introduce the Nies to their Commander (the forest fire) and Shade (the flower vine), Cloeme and Sinnigia, who were assisted in getting there by Aurene, who is waiting to bring everyone home.

Nie Huaisang is caught off guard when Cloeme (having been told by Taimi) mentions his brother and the fact that Nie Mingjue and Jin Guangyao's fierce corpses are still trapped together in the coffin under the rebuilt temple.

"Would you like me to guide them on their way?" she asks, or he thinks she asks, since her and her sister's accents are even more difficult to understand than the creatu- asuras'.

"You... can do that?"

"I would be willing to try. I have some experience with the unusual when it comes to death," she says with a smile, prompting a snort from her twin and winces from the asuras.

"That's extremely generous of you, isn't it?" Nie Huaisang notes, unable to keep himself from being wary.

"Not at all. Your kindness-" Hahaha, when was the last time anyone called him kind and not in the 'too stupid to know better' way? "-means that we have two less names to memorialize. Two souls for two souls, hm?"

Well...

Well, then.

He's not so sure he wants to let Jin Guangyao move on, but if the Commander's "unusual experience" and the oddities of Tyrian magic can solve the problem he's found no solution to, who is he to look a gift horse in the mouth?

He takes the offer.

OHHH THIS IS GONNA BE GOOD

Headspace ramble !!

Okay so first- we got the very very huge and expanded neighborhood, alot of the houses look the same. But there's only the 3 right next to each other that look completely unique, they're occupied by us and the first is a bloxburg house we made- second a Roblox house from a game we play, and third is customized. There's a house kinda mild down the neighborhood that we have to use a GPS to get to where a small bunch of FNaF au fictives live.

There's also the EverymanHYBRID cabin headspace, where all EverymanHYBRID fictives live since we have alot. Some others do live there!

We used to have 2 ENA fictives, but they both chaotically and controllably split into all of the different personalities, they have their own cool weird funky headspace now

There's also a People Playground headspace, based off of the steam game completely. Completely sandbox and chaotic, the wounds that apply can easily rewind and there's no pain much. Just creativity and chaos

And every subsystem has their own headspace.

And we can make our own headspace functions! There's a few coders here and there that can code random functions in, funny ones and ones that Higher-ups assign them to code.

The front room and co-concious are both completely different, co-con is a black void with a pitch black floor that doesn't light up by light. And the "roof" has a huge light lighting down to the Headmates, though it's only there sometimes?

And the front room was built by Sammy, it's a nice cozy front room attached to a small bedroom and kitchen. Kitchen is based off of a friends kitchen- and there's no door to outside. The TV shows what the fronter is seeing.

There's also a weird part of the co-con that's likes a detached part from co-con and near front. No gravity and light, You can easily fall asleep in it, and it's quite actually hard to stay awake in. But it's also very near front to where you can see front? It's confusing.

There's also some headspaces that we cannot get into forcefully, but we randomly appear in. The following are:

The Backrooms - Just like the backrooms. We're personally a huge Broogli fan, so there's a very wide range of levels people end up on. Literally like 5 days ago we found out one Headmate, Joey, wasn't actually dormant. He's been stuck in the backrooms for over a year now, living his best life.

The Forest - A forest that you can simply end up in, most likely if your a Slenderverse introject . . Because it's from slenderverse. It's the lake that's seen, and we know a few entities who live in there. There's unknown ones who lurk, too.

The Upside Down - The upside down from Stranger Things, last we've seen of it was over a year ago. But we still do believe there's a opening somewhere to it.

Hehe that's all of my ramble!! It's okay if you don't wanna send this xD it's a huge ramble. But I'm happy that atleast one person could finally see what our headspace looks like. Thanks for letting me ramble!

Thank you for sharing your experiences!

Don't worry about the length of text! We made this blog with the intention to let others talk as much as they want about their innerworlds/headspaces, so you're free to!

‘Tis the season for holiday films. This year, Susie Abromeit is stepping into the spirit playing an interior designer tasked with a career-changing assignment — a Christmas charity ball — that requires working with a difficult, but handsome, stranger.

Designing Christmas With You is the latest project from Abromeit’s four-picture deal with Great American Family, which was announced in the fall of 2021. She produces and stars alongside Liam McIntyre.

The actress, who had a breakout role in Jessica Jones, has done a string of rom-coms for the network following appearances in King Richard and The Forever Purge. What’s different about a holiday film? Mostly, the snow.

“It was really well-made soap that looked like snow,” Abromeit notes. “The Christmas aspect is always dialed up. It’s all about the hot cocoa, the trees and the decorations, good feelings, the nostalgia.”

Ahead of the movie’s Dec. 16 release, Abromeit spoke with The Hollywood Reporter about filming in Australia, why she left L.A. during the pandemic and how losing her house in a fire pushed her to get personal with storytelling.

Why did you want to do this movie?

I’ve worked with [producer] Steve Jaggi a bunch, and I love filming in Australia. This is my third film I’ve done in Australia with the same team. I had such incredible experiences, one after the other. I was also producing. I got a say in casting. I got a chance to push for certain actors. It was such a cool experience because, as a storyteller, you have a vision for things and a feel of how you want it to be. I worked a lot with the director [Jo-Anne Brechin], and we just would go back and forth with notes. Jo-Ann was so incredible. In terms of casting and the story, it was such a joy when you have those moments where you just align on things. The dream is working with friends, and you get to tell stories about love and Christmas. Who doesn’t love Christmas?

How would you describe the plot without giving too much away?

My character, Colbie Clark, has been working at this design firm and she’s been wanting to move up the ladder. She has this huge design job that she’s very, very excited about. If she does the job well, there’s a real possibility she will make partner. The thing that’s standing in her way is Ben, who’s played by Liam McIntyre. He has his own ideas of how he wants to design the house. So, she has to team up with an unwilling partner and this tension builds from the trying to figure out how to design this house for this big charity Christmas ball. It was so much fun to work with Liam [McIntyre] and we have great chemistry. The cast is incredible. It was such a fun time and I feel really proud of it.

What do you remember most about filming?

Just the crew. The crew is just so wonderful. It can be really tough on these shoots, or any type of shoot where you have long hours. I’ve tried to design my life in a way that working with people that you love and respect and admire for me is my value system. Then the whole thing is just like you’re hanging out with friends and doing something you love and trying to be as creative as possible with the story.

You left L.A., right? What have been the biggest changes for you professionally since then?

I recently moved to New York. I was living in Park City and I had a house on the Jordan Lake and looking at the Deer Valley Mountain. I moved there during the pandemic when L.A. got a little weird. There was kind of a hairy time when I was living in Venice and I was fighting off robbers a lot, and I was like, “You know what? I’m too old for this. I need a change of scenery.” So that became my safe haven during the pandemic. You wake up and you go skiing every other day. It’s so beautiful being in nature. It was pretty incredible, and I made so many amazing friends, but I felt very called to New York. I just felt that it was time for a change, and it just made sense for me.

You’re not beholden to have to live in a certain city anymore, and it’s freed everything up. You can of live wherever you want, whether it’s Montana or Japan. It doesn’t seem to matter anymore, which is really, really cool. You do miss [being in the room] with casting directors. Especially if they’re championing you, then they can work with you, but they only give you one or two takes. Sometimes the feeling you’d walk away is like, wow, I did not nail that one. Whereas [with self-tapes] you can take your time, you can try to shoot it more cinematically, you can be creative with it. If I feel like I want to spend five hours on a tape, I can do that.

What’s next? Do you have anything in the pipeline that you’re excited about?

I’ve been writing and developing a movie with Todd Gallicano. He just wrote Best. Christmas. Ever! We’re in the works of writing something together and hopefully moving forward, potentially with GAC, and seeing how that goes. I have another project that I don’t want to talk too much about, but I’m developing a show with someone very, very big and we found a showrunner.

What kind of projects do you have your eye on?

I’ve designed my life where I have a production company with my two best friends, and we’re just writing stories and developing shows and other projects. It makes it so much easier when you get to work with people you respect and admire. I really like Rick Rubin’s way of thinking about things in storytelling, which is writing stories and telling stories because it’s for you. So, as I’m moving forward, it’s sort of the Rick Rubin approach of being an artist and wanting to put your soul on the page and wanting to tell truthful stories.

This project that’s moving forward in a really, really big way, I put my soul on the page. My house had just burned down and there was all this chaos. I was coming out of from that experience like, “I lost everything. How do I survive and what do I do?” It sort of took a wrecking ball to my life in the best way possible. It was one of the best things that ever happened to me. From that, I started writing the story and it was just kind of for myself. The next thing you know, I was like, “Okay, I’m here and how do I get to there?” Then, all of a sudden, amazing people jumped on board, which was incredible. I had Malcolm Gladwell giving me notes on it at one point. It was really cool. I don’t want to talk too much about it, but I brought my best friend on board to help me finish it and write it. I had written it as a feature and then she’s like, “No, we should turn this into a TV show.”

I guess the thing that I want to do is tell stories from the heart. Art is about truth and beauty. Trying to tell those stories, and working with friends. Why not work with people you love? Then you don’t work a day in your life.

OCTOBER 14TH (day late) HORROR WATCH

Something in the dirt (2022)

This is Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead if you haven't heard of these guys strap the frack in.

I have never fully understood any one of their films without at least a second watch

... maybe synchronic

Already on tilt

OCD?

Looks like a morel mushroom but with spikes??

Do not expect an explanation

Ok well guy apparent derelict no furniture sleeping on floor daylight

Helicopter

No subs are

Oh they are okay

The two have been lead actors in their films more than once

Neighbor meet and greet

Divorcee tells him that the apt had been vacant for a decade

Told a big bloody fib about a death

Doesn't explain the vacancy like that's even creepier man

Said something else weird and drove off on a scoot scoot

It was a squirrel omg

Shot of the electricity meters

And a bunch of other things in quick sucession power lines etc then chimes

Ok interview suddenly

Meta about their films lolz

Somebody died

Guy friendship makes me seeth with envy and wrench my clothing

They are best friends now,?!!! U movin furniture??

How??? U just met??? That could be a serial killer an asshole! That's a literal stranger

I hate men

They are chatting like they have known each other for years (they do)

Fish story

They both at each time appeared wary of the other at least

sharing wifi??

That is a STRANG-ER

Behold the promise LAN

First uh tension

Kinda told him after he helped gotta kick u out

Except rolled right into compassion AA convo

Lol 😂 till he said ok cool

Lol housewarming plant dude why would u think he brought a rando plant to a new place obviously

His grandma runs a nursery

Already talking weird, cult vibes

The prism crystal piece he found on the ground just started floating and prisiming

Divorcee saw it and honestly told the new move in guy who was already trying to kick him out but graciously instead of doing the whole wait until it happens later bs as divorcee is leaving it happens again

And unlike the white men they are the bolt out of the apartment

They are literal shots of the text of what is being said randomly interspersed cut into the dialogue

Fights keep passing over head

Three birds just hit the divorcee guys door , dead

They agree that they have to document legitimate supernatural stuff and get rich/ successful

Youth shelter person comes to pick him up

Dude pretty sure that's his PO and he's court mandated

Back to interviews

New guy had stashed the birds in a cardboard box just to make sure they weren't just knocked out

One bird was gone when he went back to check

Lord of heat coming from the closet

Anti title drop??? Cute

This is very meta

Debate about titles they are both rejection sensative like prickly about critiques

He said i guess it waits for you (new guy) but the first time we saw it it was only the divorcee

This is very nope at this juncture

They are tooling up, my Internet is very slow

The chimes are Russian nesting Dolls

Address the obvious P.O.

He said he's on the sex offender registry for peeing in public

The thing is actually moving ( i should clarify it looks like the og big ass crystal ash trashs

Although it's obvious cut in half orb and prismy

They have digital and film cameras

They may have a shot

The geometry of magnetism - rando book that divorcee knows

Lol why was it written in esperanto i mean obvs why but 😂😂

Oh the weird shape that prsim makes is on the cover

Lol divorcee just asked do i sound unhinged and new guys like oh no nono psychologic breaks are totally different 😂😂😂

Lol he just yelled at the paper weight if you are a ghost do something

Now they are like??? Not a ghost

Coulda told you that boys it's very scientific

It's scientific because this is your film and you always do science shit 😂😂

The guy says he has seeing the symbol all over town now

Most of the shots were of old buildings that symbol would have been there for years

Lol new guy said u goin dan brown on me

He's like no man it's just a math thing like the fibbinocci sequence

When a rectangle expressed as a ratio

(how the fuck does one do that #dyscalculia)

It is that irrational number

Lol he said this better not be about Stonehenge 😂😂

This dude is smoking inside like a fucking 1950's film JEEBUS

the whole time there's s discordant plunk in the sound track

(They do this)

This is the third time he has crossed the threshold out of the room and it drops the new guy im googling their names cause im getting irritated

John and levi

The city scape looms large

Planes sirens

They are both a hot mess

Door knob to hot closet that never shits is shaking

Pause for the cause

(the cause being my bedtime)

Gonna switch to something with a better signal and finish that first

OMG wtf the light refractor is floating why was it in the closet?

Omg plot point i couldn't hear

Gravity?

Soil samples (documentary)

High chromium

Earthquake

Wait is the inside of the closet glowing

Now the light is communicating with them

Quartz deposit

More meta

Why did you play youselves reenactment

I love that's is just a series of conspiracy theories

I read this ted talk, i saw this reddit post

Cyotes again

Ace

Pulling random unexplainable things weaving them together

Snake skin

Just random things

Found an old ass recorder like old ass

With sacred number tape on it

Pythagoras

The rose croutons?

Dream logic

Numerology crystals

City planner 1908

Like full ideas of reference

Literally just picked up a rock at 1908 coordinates that had a strip of paper with w website in it

The guy with hx of mental illness ace is uh keeps trying to back out - John new guy

Crystal resonates with sound

There's the symphony conspiracy theory

The crystal almost fell on his head when he was asleep but did why do you sleep in that room with it

Let alone the apartment at all

Levi

Not they are full on literally every single idea of reference

Now they are talking about simulations after seeing a glitch in the stop crosswalk

Mind control cat parasites - which i just heard about

This month

The phenomenon is dried up

John wants to leave as planned

The levi guy made up a bunch of shit and broke in somewhere told john some kies starting to fabric stuff

Lol this tablet was used to design the city

Now my plant is alien in nature ,(from my own grandmas nursery)

Eat the cactus fruit

Inside the cactus fruit is morse code!!!!!!

Here they are

Lol he's been lying from the jump even about the book

Coordinates

Old ass radio on a loop

Redacted script

Very convenient

John tried to do another idea of reference but lim? Levi shut him down

About his spearfishing

Radiation?

Old ass raio

Levi in an effort to fabricate more stuff erased the original stuff

Melted the hard drive

Just when john wanted to go again

The phenomenon started back up

And the guy keeps digging into his criminal history

Even then he wants him to stay

They are fully fighting and dragging each other

Oo literally dragged his sister into it then when he broke he smiled

Like a sicko

It's a full scale read fest very intense

WHILE THE MOST PHENOMENON THAT HAD EVER HAPPENED IS HAPPENING

and they are ignoring it fighting each other

There's an earthquake and not they are drawing a truce

Levi is floating the crystal went high and cracked

John ? Was floating too?

But off the balcony???
