#a respectable lad and a little freak

[royaltea000]

Very short series of my various plushies as humans(?) 🐈‍⬛ 🐈 

[ceilidho]

ghost asking price to fuck you because price was older and had more experience. wanted price to show him how to make you feel the best, what to do. :3

and now. i am going. to shriek. slight twist on this because I don't necessarily envision a threesome here, but I think Ghost would enjoy Price taking a look at you and guiding him.

Ghost bringing you to Price for his approval and then locking the door behind the two of you when you step into his office. Then leaning down to whisper into your ear that Price is a good man, that there's no one Ghost trusts more than him, that he trusts him with his life, every single day, without question.

He sits you on his lap and spreads your legs over his, flipping your skirt up and just nudging your panties to the side. You let him even though you can't help the way you grip Ghost's legs, nails digging deep into his thighs, even through the material of his pants.

You had a mind to bolt, to freak out. To yell at Ghost that you're not some plaything and stomp out of the room. But it doesn't come out. You sit there, lost for words and breathing in too little oxygen, quick little hitches that betray your anxiety.

Price leans against the desk to watch the two of you, eyes calm in spite of the show being put on for him. Like this happens every day.

You think Ghost's been with women before so you almost wonder if they've done this before, but somehow it feels different. It feels reverent. You feel it more so when you peek over your shoulder and catch Ghost staring up at his captain's face, eyes intense. Searching for his approval. Looking at him like he's brought something home and needs to be reassured that he did good.

"She lets me put it in twice a day," he says, matter of factly more than a boast. The lightning zap of shameful pleasure nearly bowls you over, but he keeps you pressed to him, back to chest. Holds you steady in place. Anticipates how much of a shock his words would come to you.

"You make her come every time?" Price asks, voice gravelly and you hate, hate, hate that it makes you clench up. It shouldn't. He's your boyfriend's boss, his captain - a man you've (up to now) looked at with nothing but respect and cool distance. His voice shouldn't make you wet.

You jolt when Ghost's rough fingers pass over your clit. "Every time. Sometimes more."

"Good lad."

You choke on a whimper when Ghost's hips bump up into you, hard cock pressing against your ass. The grunt that spills out of him is visceral, barbed like wire. Like Price's words affect him just as much as you.

I know were all on an Adam kick rn but I wanted to get your take on what Alastor would be like with a fem partner?? Maybe someone thats a bit more innocent than him and doesnt ENJOY partaking in murder or cannibalism like he does

Unsure if this was a fic request or for me to answer in general! So if you want a fic just lmk!

But I think Alastor is really tricky because I love him but I don’t think he has a bone in his body that isn’t manipulative at least not one we have seen. So I think at first it’s a very (not toxic necessarily but still manipulative) but a much more guiding, nurturing role type relationship. Similar to Charlie and him AT FIRST cause I get that you would have the same vibes as Charlie with your hope, optimism and innocent. Cause I imagine innocent you falling down to hell being terrified and Alastor taking her under his wing. At first it’s just to get another deal or another soul but then he realizes like.

Oh. Oh I don’t think you’re supposed to be here at all. There’s absolutely been some sort of mixup because this girl is incapable of hurting anybody.

From then on I think he’d be more of a silent protector role. He’d know and respect your unease at his cannibalistic and violent lifestyle so he’d do his best to keep her out of it. No interacting with Vox, no other overlords other than Rosie, any freak outs/power trips he has he would always make sure you’re away from the danger and the sight. He doesn’t like you seeing him like that for some reason. (Rosie would have to explain to him that he might be in love or whatever that means to him)

I also think No one would know they’re together romantically until one day Angel makes an offhand comment to reader and as follows:

Angel: I just don’t understand toots, you’ve been in hell for ‘dis long and there hasn’t been a single dame or lad that’s tried to woo ya? It’s a crime! I mean look at ya!

You: *very flustered* oh thanks Angie. That’s not entirely true though Al and I have been together for…oh goes going over seven years at this point.

To which you slap a hand over your mouth because you and Alastor are very private and you just did the one thing he told you not to do. Al just slowly turns to look at you eye twitching.

Reactions as follows:

Angel: flabbergasted. Jaw has dropped. Eyes BULGING. Asking a million questions about your sex life.

Husk: chokes on his drink while promptly also dropping the bottle and shattering it on the floor

Niffty: she def already knew.

Charlie: LOUD SQUEALING, HUGS, A MILLION QUESTIONS

Vaggie: shock, horror, curiosity…but mostly the first too.

Both you and Alastor would get very overwhelmed and he’d teleport you both away, with a promise of answering questions later but him and his dear heart must be off on important business.

Anyway yah hope that’s what you’re looking for! That’s my take! And if you guys want little blurbs like this lmk I can probably crank these out much easier.

I think the terms TMA/TME work best when they're used as rules of thumb, rather than expected to function as strict categories. They're often helpful, but occasionally they can become obfuscatory, and there are edge cases where they can't be neatly applied. In those cases, they should be set aside, but with an understanding that they will be brought back into conversations when helpful.

To give a personal perspective - I'm a trans masc individual who has, upon occasion, experienced misdirected transmisogyny. I was on T for 5 years, then came off it (partly due to health problems, partly due to starting to identify as nonbinary rather than as a man) and began presenting in a more feminine manner, and people would regularly mistake me for a trans woman.

When people thought I was a trans woman, I did notice an increase in hostility, harassment and unwelcome advances from strangers. Groups of men would shout at me in the street, mothers would glare at me and physically pull their children further away from me if I came near. I also started getting catcalled and couldn't enjoy a night out in a club without being groped. I'd experienced some of these things as a trans man and as a girl, but probably never at such a high frequency or so intensely.

I definitely think I got a taste of transmisogyny and people do still assume I'm trans fem from time to time. But I still wouldn't describe myself as TMA. I don't shout it from the rooftops, but if it feels relevant in the context of a conversation, I will say I'm TME. Because I think the terms are about overarching dynamics, rather than whether or not an individual has ever faced a single instance of transmisogyny.

For me, there was always a sense of distance between myself and any negative experience, that came from knowing they'd misread my AGAB - "that lad just called me a chick with a dick! How funny! I'd be so lucky!" / "You're harassing me for using the female showers at the gym when I am literally menstruating. Are you going to stop being a creep, or do I have to show you my bloody tampon?" There's a degree to which I can sidestep or disavow their idea of me in a manner trans women can't.

I also don't know what it's like to deal with many other elements of transmisogyny, or deal with it as an overarching narrative in one's life rather than a freak episode.

I think it's fair to say I have at times been a grey area and I could use my experiences to argue against the validity of TME/TMA, but I don't want to do that. I don't like it when the terms are just used as a way to say AFAB/AMAB while being perceived as less problematic. But I think it is helpful to have little shorthand reminders about specific power dynamics that do have an impact in our communities. I have absolutely seen transmisogyny play out in queer spaces, both online and IRL, and I think it's worth having vocabulary that emphatically reminds people to check themselves and to not assume they don't have internalised bias against trans women just because they're trans masc.

Trans women are a boogeyman in popular culture and the collective unconscious in a way trans men never have been (at least, not to anything like the same extent). Trans women face an intensity of monstering that I think most people won't understand unless they spend a lot of time sharing space with and listening to trans women. The rapid adoption of TMA/TME feels like an attempt to fast-track that understanding en masse. Maybe it's a bit clumsy, but I do think it's having an impact and important conversations are happening. I don't know if the terms will stick or fall out of use. Having been in the trans community for over a decade and seeing how our vocabularies evolve, I'm inclined to think they'll stick around for a few years and then largely disappear. But I feel that while trans women are finding them useful, we need to be respectful of that fact.

Idk sorry to rant in your askbox, I wanted to give my two cents. Feel free to ignore lol

I'm going to be a bit blunt here: in the span of time I've been off tumblr to, you know, sleep... I've gotten 20 different asks trying to convince me to like the usage of tma/tme and also several transphobic asks about my top surgery. The transphobic ones I blocked and deleted because I'm literally 3 weeks out and will not be dissuaded. But I'm simply not willing to continue arguing a point I've made very clear that I don't love the usage of this particular theory the way it's currently being used.

You can like it for yourself. I have said this over and over again. I do not like it for me, and do not think it is accurate for my life or my experiences or the reality that is what I have to go through on a regular basis. True to everything else that I've posted, I don't really care what you call yourself. If you want to call yourself TME and you believe that framework works for your experience, more power to you. Just don't label me that, because I don't think it works for mine.

Trans women are absolutely a boogeyman in a way that trans men often aren't. That is, unfortunately, one of the ways that hypervisibility is such a curse. Everyone knows what a trans woman is, and a good majority of those people also think the only good one's a dead one. That's bad. That's transmisogyny, and we should ally with trans women to help fix this problem.

Also unfortunately, as trans men become more and more visible to the world, instead of facing mass erasure and dying in silence or escaping to live in stealth, trans men are also beginning to become a boogeyman as well. Now we are a social contagion, a craze, with rapid onset gender dysphoria, mutilating ourselves and ruining our precious bodies, carving out our wombs, simultaneously debasing ourselves and also becoming predators lurking to snatch daughters up and forcefeed them our ideology, betraying women by becoming a mockery of men. What's worse, we tend to politically close ranks with trans women and cis women alike so it's harder for transphobic lawmakers to divide and conquer as they're used to with cis men, so instead they have to demonize us to prevent any further allyship.

That's the conversation trans mascs are trying to have.

Genuinely, I do agree that trans women face an othering that most people do not grasp without understanding transmisogyny theory, which is why I think everyone should have at least a basic understanding of it. But I also think that's true of many other demographics, and that if we want to get out of the pit that bigoted society put us in, we've got to work together to do so. It was, after all, the combined efforts of Marsha P Johnson AND Storme de Laverie that brought us out in the open. And among me friend group, we have people from all different races and backgrounds and genders and more locking arms to ensure the safety of each other, wanting to understand and know each other, lifting each other up.

[studentinpursuitofclouds]

hello!! love your content! i was checking your masterlist and i saw that you had a post about a nonhuman farmer — however, my farmer OC has different features from the one who was previously requested. so i was wondering if i could request something similar, but changing a few things. if not, you can ignore this!

so, i would like to request a similar post: the villagers (bachelors, bachelorettes and townies) reacting to a nonhuman farmer. however, instead of rat-like features, i wanted a farmer with fox-like features — as in, sharp claw-like nails, fox ears, fox tail, fangs and vertical pupils (y'know, similar to when people make a human gijinka of a fox character), all the fun stuff.

additionally! i was wondering if you could also include some Ridgeside Village characters. (i know RSV has like a shitton of characters so it doesn't need to be all of them 😭 if you do include, i would love if you did Raeriyala, Daia, Jio, Blair, Maddie and Ysa specifically, as these are my favorites) but if you can't do them, that's fine!! thank you for your time and take care!

Hello, dear anon! Thank you so much ❤️

Sorry for the long reply, but since there are a lot of characters, I had to write a little longer. I won't include all the RSV residents as I haven't thoroughly researched them all yet, but I wrote about the ones you asked for. Enjoy!

Stardew valley characters react to a non-human Farmer (alt. version):

_________________________________________

Considering that Shane often left the Saloon after two or three mugs of beer, it wouldn't surprise him if that new and annoying farmer had tall fox ears or fangs, since he could chalk those hallucinations up to alcohol intoxication. Worse things will happen if Shane, in his sober state, meets them again.... This town was a bunch of freaks. Though he thinks he's just as much of a freak himself...

Marnie's first thought after the Farmer's true origins are revealed is to make more locks on her chicken coop. Please forgive her, but she had recently survived a fox infestation that took out her favorite hen, and Marnie was still grieving and a little paranoid about foxes. But that was rude to the Farmer, for which she immediately apologizes.

All Elliott wanted was a relaxing fishing trip with his close friends, Willy, the old fisherman, and Farmer. But the Farmer apparently likes to pick a bad time to dedicate secrets. "I'm not really human." Elliott is in a stupor. "Excuse me, what?" "Aye, lad/lass said they're not human." Why in the world is Willy reacting so calmly? And why is the writer only now noticing their fangs and fox ears!

Yoba, poor Harvey and Maru were running around Farmer in circles, unable to understand the x-rays and blood test results. Vertical eye pupils, pointed fangs and claws... Their minds were racing, trying to find answers in medical textbooks and in scientific articles about single cases of mutations. So Farmer would be in the clinic for a long time, before the town doctor and his assistant find answers.

Yo, Farmer, hey! Look at the cool hoodies Sam got for his friends: Abigail's hoodie has cat ears sticking out, and Sebby's wearing a dark green hoodie with a cute frog face. He himself has a hoodie with bunny ears. It's a bit silly and childish gifts, but his friends love it and having fun, so that's what matters most. Oh, you have a hoodie like that too? It's cool, it's got real fox ears and a tail. Huh? Wait, what do you mean they're real? Like a- Holy cow, the ears move! How??? Sam and Abby are shocked, and Sebby thinks it's cool. The trio needs answers!

Looks like Rasmodius doesn't need to brew a potion for Farmer, since they already have forest magic. Oh please, don't look at him so surprised, nothing magical can escape the wizard's keen eye. But there is no need to panic, he himself is completely connected with magic and unusual things, so he will respect the Farmer's secret. Well, now let's talk about Junimo....

Huh, is Farmer what, 7 years old or something? Why are they dressed up in costume? What? Alex can see that? Of course he see it, with those ears and that floor-length tail, it's hard to miss. And... fangs? Strange people, one wearing all black, the others trying to prove to Alex they're foxe. It's crazy.

What the- Oh, for crying out loud. Kid, at least let Marlon and Gil know it's you. They thought the monster from the mines had gotten out and were ready to draw their swords from their scabbards. All right, let's go back, foxy, heh... We're going hunting soon, and you have the best nose for hares.

"Let's see... Dwarves, Shadow People, Elves... No, alas, nothing similar from history." After recognizing the Farmer's true origins, Gunther thought he might find mention of "fox people" in the library books, but there was nothing of the sort. However, if the Farmer themself knows their origins perfectly well, they could write the book! If the Farmer doesn't mind, the library keeper will help with writing a book about the history of an unknown civilization (or just a fairy tale, if no one believes it).

The Farmer decided to reveal a great secret to Kent? Do they want to reveal their true origins to surprise the veteran? Well, the secret's out, Farmer's not quite human! Aha! Caught him by surpri- Wat??? Why no reaction? What's with the 🗿 face? I've seen stranger things in war?! Ugh! "You're not human!?" Well, at least it didn't take long for his wife, Jodi, to react. The poor woman now has mixed emotions about Farmer.

Wow, Gus had heard a lot of different rumors about the new Farmer, but never would have thought.... Well, even though they're not quite human, it doesn't change the way he feels about Farmer. They're a very kind friend and a wonderful person (even if not human), so no prejudice, much to Farmer's relief, on his part. The doors of his Saloon are always open to them.

What? Fox ears? Ah, the Farmer must be playing with the children, they were just putting on all sorts of headbands with the ears of different animals. That's nice of them. Yeah, Jas, did you want something? Does Farmer have real ears? Sure, sure, Uncle Lewis believes you. *Ahem* By the way, is Aunt Marnie home?

Ah, my friend. Sit next to Linus, don't be shy. Warm yourselves by the fire. Hmm? Did you want to say something to him? About not being human, by any chance? Oh, no need to wonder, Linus can see through the magical barrier that wizards and other creatures wrap themselves in when they want to hide. But he's their friend, so their secret is safe. She knows what it's like to be an outcast.

Fox parts on the human body? Fangs, tail and ears?! Scientifically impossible! Demetrius is very interested in this unusual mutation of the new Farmer and would like to investigate it, perhaps even help in some way. Of course, with the Farmer's permission, after all, science is science, but there must be at least some boundaries of decency.

Beyond her natural shock at the news, Robin was glad that Farmer trusted her enough to entrust her with this secret. And she gives her word that if Farmer told her about her not quite human origins, she would keep it. Heh, that's funny... Robin's parents often called her "little foxy" and now Robin will also call Farmer. Just a light tease, nothing bad!

Young one, take off that stupid costume, it's not Spirits Eve. George doesn't understand the younger generation: he used to play grindball with his friends when he was a kid, and now teenagers are putting on silly costumes, calling themselves beasts and going back and forth and interfering with his TV watching. Don't even try to change his mind, he won't believe the Farmer's fox ears are real.

When Farmer stopped by to visit Emily, the girl immediately started praising these plush ears that look just like the real thing. Haley decided to argue with her sister for some reason and began to lament that the fabric probably wasn't the best quality. Emily disagreed completely, and decided to touch the soft fur on the long red ears. Poor Farmer immediately bounced away from the girls. Huh? Tickles? They're not real, how can they.... Did the ears just move?... Okay Haley, stop screaming, let's calm down and talk about, as it turns out, quite real fox ears.

Oh, Evelyn remembers Farmer's Grandpa saying that in their family, the fox was the totem animal. There were statues, wooden sculptures and paintings on his farmhouse. Evelyn is glad that Farmer is also proud of it, even if it is a little unusual, wearing fluffy fox ears. (No, she doesn't believe the fox parts on Farmer are real).

Mr./Mrs. Farmer is a fox? Are they some sort of fox lord? Do they have magic? Can we see it? While Jas and Vincent pepper Farmer with various questions (because where else would you see a fox neighbor?), Leo giggles and thinks to himself that when he, his friends and Farmer play hide and seek, with those tall red ears Farmer will be easy to find.

Clint needed to get some fresh air: the heat of the forge had made his mind foggy, making the farmer look like an animal. But when they went outside, the farmer's animal image hadn't disappeared..... Did he drink too much at the saloon last night?

Oi, that's a strong ale. This stuff is amazing! Gus, pour Pam another full mug! Hell yeah. Hmm, who's distracting her? All right, kid, give her a break after work. Ugh, what do they want, huh? She's busy right now- Why does Farmer have fangs like an animal? And what's with the eyes?... Gus, Pam changed her mind. She's had enough beer for one night. She's already seeing some weird shit.

Aah! Oh, Yoba, what's that? Or rather, who is it? Farmer? Why did you dress up in a costume and get into the bushes and scare Leah? What do you mean, "not a costume"? You got the lenses, and the tail down your back. A real one?! Okay, well, even if that's true, what makes you think hiding in the bushes was the best way to present yourself? Smell of delicious berries. Alright, the artist agrees, blueberries are really good.

Dear viewers, our favorite show begins: "How fast can Farmer make Penny faint?" Last time, our top contestant scared a young teacher in 5.43 seconds when they came out all bloody from the mines. This time, Farmer will reveal his secret to Penny. Aaaaaand.... Exactly two seconds, and the girl fell senseless. A new record! (Apologized to Penny right now).

"I hope we don't get rabies from you?" "Pierre!". Our lovely Pierre, Mr. Tactfulness, part-time shopkeeper, is on a roll as always. Thank Yoba that at least Caroline knows when to stop her husband. So what if the Farmer is a little different, that's no reason to throw around name-calling. "Don't listen to him, dear customer", no one realized where Morris was coming from here. "There's no prejudice in our wonderful Joja about weirdo-, er, I mean unusual people. Come to us, we have 25% off!" "Wouldn't dream of it, Morris! Dear customer, can you bite Morris to give him rabies?" Thanks again to Caroline, who got a bucket of water from somewhere and poured it on her husband and Joja manager.

Bonus + Ridgeside Village:

Wow! Daia didn't know that her Lady's lover, the great Raeriyala, had helpers too, and such a cute one. Oh, you're fox spirit? Hee hee! She wants so badly to touch the fluffy ears, or the soft red tail! Wait a minute... They're not spirits, they give off a completely different aura.... The grandchild of that old Farmer? Intriguing. But it still won't save Farmer from teasing or flirting.

Trust me, if Maddie doesn't run away from a strange sound in the bushes in the middle of the woods, the huge fox ears will definitely make her rush back to town. She won't even realize it's not a wild animal, just a Farmer. Nope, not today, forest! She's too young to die.

Finally, the barrier was removed and the Farmer was able to meet her. Yes, oh farmer, Raeriyala knows who you really are, no need to hide it. She has a lot to tell you about your Grandmother, the evil that lingers in Spirits Realm, and much more. "Are you my mom?" "...What?" (It would be a very awkward situation if Farmer didn't know their biological mother, and then there's a woman fox. So you can understand their confusion).

Not only did Farmer show up at a rather suspicious time, but they're also not human. Jio's caution will not be limited, as there may be spies everywhere, who want to harm his friends, his Lady, and interfere with his mission. On the other hand, there is something about this Farmer, because there's unusual, just like him - where will you meet another elf, right?

And how you supposed to concentrate on fishing when someone is running near the lake and yelling? Blair's irritation was immediately replaced by incomprehension when she saw Ysa running out of the woods toward Ridgeside Village. The girl had dropped a small basket of flowers. And when the young fisherwoman saw in the distance the silhouette of a humanoid with obviously animal-like body parts, it was already Blair's turn to run, leaving the entire fish catch on the shore. And the Farmer only wanted to talk to them 🥲

Teenage Squad

Any time I get into Hallie and Lance's teenage saga, it probably appears like it was only the two of them plus their friend Cal, but that wasn't at all the case - many others shaped their young lives and I actually have quite a bunch of their classmates on my mind with whom they 'ruled the school' together.

Some of them are these lads. This is just a noseless doodle but I still think they're cute. 😂 They are on their post graduation vacation here. Lance had plans to come with them but once it was certain that his pa would not survive the Summer of 2006, he dropped out and stayed home.

I mentioned Cal here and there already. His full name is Calum Hamish Fitzgibbons (*November 6th 1987) and he was a nice kid, actually. A teenager of his time, with the appropriate brush of occasional overconfidence, because he had the looks and the wit. A lot of his peers just looked up to him... literally, because at sixteen, Cal was already 6'4 ft tall (topped out at 6'7 ft). Cal wasn't bad, he was just spoiled. His parents are quite wealthy and he was used to getting whatever he wanted, without having to put in any effort. That being said, when he was pining for Hallie, he kinda just expected that she would see the light one day, but he never dared to make an actual move to win her over. Partly because he didn't see the necessity, and also because romantic feelings for a friend are an awkward thing sometimes. When she didn't just fall for him like he had hoped, and even picked his best friend over him during his absence, he was raging for several reasons. Being a bad person isn't one of them... but a male (teenage) ego is often a fragile one.

Mark McGrath (*February 7th 1987) had to repeat 8th grade and somehow started hanging out with the cool kids of the year. Mark was a cool, calm and collected fella, never as loud and obnoxious as others, but well, how do they say? Still waters run deep. Mark was the one to ask for "special favours", such as getting weed/speed/acid/whatnot. Mark knew everyone and everything. Mark was the guy one would call if they had to get rid of a body. Mark never judged. Mark just did what had to be done. Mark was... remarkable. There is not much else to say, actually... which is kinda due to the fact that not even his closer friends ever got to know him on a super deep level and just enjoyed hanging out with the easygoing guy he was.

Timothy "Tim" Irvine (*March 3rd 1988) was the good soul of the gang. Very outspoken, not shy to voice his opinions, but where others of the same age just blurted out with whatever came to their minds at the moment, Tim actually thought about what he said. True friend material, always eager to understand both sides in an argument and staying respectful, even when mad. Didn't love what Lance did behind Cal's back while they were away on vacation, but was very willing to cut his friend some slack. Was definitely not okay with the way Cal, Fozzy and Mark wanted to pay Lance back and had a little fall out with them as well. Last person of the former gang that Lance sent a message to ("I'm alright, thanks. Take care, mate!"), after the blow up, and before they all went their separate ways in late Summer 2006.

It's hard to sum up Lowell "Fozzy" Foster (* September 17th 1987) in just a few sentences... he was an experience. Not at all a bad kid either, but... well, let's just say that Fozzy's loyalty and integrity had limits, namely any time he sensed that there could be something in for him, when there was a lass he liked involved... or when doing the right thing was simply too much of a hassle. Aside from all this, Fozzy was a music freak, too, which is what always brought him and Lance back together, despite their quarrels. In the end, Fozzy enjoyed being with his friends most... even if he should've had looked up a thing or two about what friendship actually means, but well. They had all been young and dumb after all.

flatmate!matty w his mates and it’s girlie who took the picture

yeahhhhhh ok it's definitely a pre-dating era pic (shaved head ross gave it away. like carbon dating. also if ross ever shaves his head again i'll delete my whole blog bc what would even be the point anymore), but you guys are living together. actually, i wonder if this is a pic from the last night out back home, before you and matty moved to london - you're like "wait matty let me take a pic of you and the boys as a little memento it would be so cute. we could put it on our fridge", and matty (tipsy) gets all daydreamy about the way you said "our fridge" and the inherent domesticity of it and how he really fucking likes the sound of you saying "our" like you're a couple. he's like "yeah good idea darlin'. oi! lads! squish in for a pic", and the boys all gather together so you can snap a photo, to which you react like "awww, this is cute! thanks boys, sorry for interrupting your respective seshes lol". george is like "oh we're not doing a second one with you in it? i think we should. you're one of the boys at this point babe, let's face it lol"; matty's like "shut the fuck up george, she's not one of the boys" and you're lowkey like oi wtf offended i am a Crucial part of this group before matty stands behind you and wraps his arms around you to kiss your cheek like "she's my girl". naturally, your heart fucking stops, and - although you know he doesn't mean it in that way - you relax into matty's hold a little more and have to bite your lip to keep from grinning (you're also Inebriated) at the thought of actually being his girl(friend). and george is like "you mean 'our girl', yeah? everyone loves her, not just you, mate", and you're like "aww g, you little sap" while matty's like "yeah obv i know that" - immediately after he says that, though, he leans down to whisper "but not as much as i love you". before you can react, though, he's let go of your waist in favour of your hand like "come on, let's get another drink" (because he's lowkey freaking out that he crossed the line. you wish he would cross it even further) <3

Happy New Year!

How I think different wrestlers would ring in the New Year with their boo:

Eddie Kingston:

"Hey, sweet cheeks! Are you ready to go? Mox is texting me asking where we..."

He stops talking when you walk out in a skin tight low cut dress. He licks his lips as you finish putting in your earrings and bend over to grab your purse.

"We don't have to go if you would rather have our own party"

You laugh and grab your leather jacket before grabbing his hand and dragging him out to the car anyway.

"Come on, Eddie Bear! We will have our own party after midnight. It's time to go hang out with our friends and be social for a bit."

Eddie pouts before opening your door and smacking your ass as you got in. You roll your eyes and let him drive you two over to Mox's house. You play games and gossip with Renee until the countdown where Eddie spins you into his arms and dips you as the clock turns midnight. You kiss him passionately and giggle as he stands you back upright.

"I love you, sweetheart. Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year, handsome! I love you too!"

Hook:

The two of you are out at a club with the Lads and their respective partners. The boys got a VIP table, and drinks were flowing. Hook stood a few feet away as you talked to Anthony's partner and started dancing to the music.

Bowens puts his arm around Hook and smirks, seeing him staring at the two of you. "It's so great to see them getting along so well."

Hook looks up at Anthony and nods before sipping his drink and walking over to you. Bowens shakes his head as he winks at his partner dancing with you and gestures for him to come over.

You see Hook walking over as you feel your dance partner lean down and whisper in your ear. "Looks like our men can't survive without us. See you later."

You laugh and wave him off before turning your attention to your boyfriend walking over, sipping his drink.

"Well, hello there, stranger. Wanna dance?"

Without saying a word, he sets down his drink and takes your hand, twirling you around before wrapping his arms around you from behind. You look over your shoulder and guide his lips down to yours for a quick kiss.

"Oh, were you jealous that you didn't have my attention, baby?"

He kisses you again and pulls you closer by the hips slowly grinding his hips into your ass and you dance to the music.

"Maybe, or maybe I was getting turned on watching you dance, and I wanted to see up close and personal."

You smirk before pretending to drop something and leaning over to shake your ass for him. He groans as he checks the time.

"Do we really have to stay til midnight? It's already 11:30. That's close enough right?"

You smirked as you turned around, making sure to push your chest up against him.

"I really want to do shots with everyone at midnight and then get my New Year's kiss. Then we can go home, I promise.

He bit his lip as his eyes dipped down to your cleavage, then back up to your lips.

"Okay, babe, but after midnight, I'm gonna carrying you out of this club and have my way with you in the car."

You gasp and put your hand over your heart dramatically.

"Public indecency? Is that how you treat a lady?"

He smirks and grabs two handfuls of your ass kissing you passionately.

"Only with my favorite lady in the streets, who's a freak in the sheets."

Ricky Starks:

Lights are flashing, and music is blaring in your house as you and Ricky's friends are partying to celebrate the New Year. You smile watching your boyfriend pretend to DJ and pump everyone up. He grabs the mic and seems to search the crowd until he locks eyes with you. He starts one of your favorite songs.

"This one goes out to the woman who made tonight possible and makes my heart skip a beat every time she winks at me. Come on over, my pretty little lady."

You wink before dancing your way over to him and running your fingers up and under his shirt teasing his abs as you kiss him. He grabs your ass before turning you around and gently pushing your lower back, encouraging you to lean over and shake your ass for him. A few of your friends whistle as you put your hands on your knees to drop it low and twerk. He turns around and twerks against you until you realize it and turn around, grinding against his ass.

You make a couple more rounds, saying hi to everyone and checking on food and drinks before you feel arms wrap around you and kisses on your shoulder.

"It's almost countdown time, baby. Let's get ready."

You nod and grab a glass of champagne for each of you as you walk out onto your balcony. The countdown begins, so you and Ricky cuddle up as the clock ticks down. You clink your glasses together and take a drink before leaning in for your New Year's kiss as the fireworks and poppers go off around you. Ricky keeps you close as you pull away from the kiss.

"Happy New Year, baby girl."

"Happy New Year, babe. Now, how long are we going to let our friends stay? I could use a visit from Stroke Daddy."

He dramatically shivers and kisses you again before whispering against your lips.

"They probably won't even notice if Steoke Daddy takes you right here on the balcony."

You blush and push your hand against his chest, lightly pulling away from him.

"I'm sure they are, but come find me when you want to take the party to the bedroom."

OKAY The Whispering Skull 3/3 liveblog LET'S GO

- oh wow they dont even plan the library heist. they just do it. its barely even a heist they walk in and the thing isnt locked. fittes agency aint the brightest huh

- quill kipps doing the most conspicuous trailing of the team. brother you are so pathetic. ily. you have no sense for subterfuge.

- NIGHT CAB DRIVER NEW FAV CHARACTER lockwood rly went "50 pounds to misdirect the cab behind" and after making sure they arent criminals the driver is like "i can brake check him. i can double back and crash into him. if you want. for that kind of money" quill kipps you were so close to a life changing traffic accident on account of cabbies being underpaid

- Lockwood STOP yelling at George it make me sad :( Lucy is right he is feeling left out

- The amount of times these children use bombs to solve problems. Mirror heist? Bomb flare distraction. People pointing guns at you? Bomb flare free ghost distraction. We get told these things cost a fortune and yet they use them so often.

- The Dril tweet about budgeting and candles. That but its Lockwood and mag flares

- Sir Rupert is very well written and very cool. I also hate him with my life. Nasty, nasty man.

- Oh Lucy and Lockwood just. They just throw themselves off a! eight story building into the Thames. They're going to get so unwell from this. There's no way they didn't swallow a little bit of water when they broke the surface. Jesus Christ that's how you get cholera

- Oh George isnt home yet. Oh hes absolutely going to go find Joplin. Oh god.

- OH NO HE HAS

- Bringing the skull to Kensel Green. Good. More of the skull on adventures it always rules

- YEAHHH KIPPS TEAM. KAT, NED AND BOBBY WORKING WITH LOCKWOOD. FUCK YES.

- The Skull calling out to Bickerstaff and getting no response is kinda sad but also. Something very vindicating that this servant boy who was manipulated into doing awful things becoming a powerful ghost after his death, and the man obsessed with death who killed so many and manipulated the boy into doing terrible things becoming a shadow of himself in death, his worst qualities and obsessions compacted into this terrifying but also kind of... pathetic thing.

- Kipps stepping in and trying to protect George from Joplin. Sarcastic banter with Lucy. Shouting at Joplin to leave George and her alone. You ARE capable of being a good human being I'm so proud

- God, Lucy thinking George was dead those few minutes is heartbreaking. These kids need therapy for the shit they go through.

- Lucy admitting she can talk to type threes and she has one and Joplin not believing her. I wonder if Kipps remembers her saying this later on or thinks it was just a desperate last attempt at stopping Joplin from killing them.

- George standing up suddenly when they thought he was dead and everyone freaking the FUCK out only for him to tackle Joplin and attack. KING. BEST CHARACTER.

- Lucy driving back the ghost with a iron chain and nothing else shes so fucking cool. Ignore that she accidentally took out a chunk of Kipps' hair. It was kind of funny.

- BLATANTLY TALKING TO SKULL IN FRONT OF JOPLIN AND KIPPS. KIPPS IF YOU DONT REMEMBER THIS OR BRING THIS UP IM GONNA LOSE IT.

- Skull reverse psychology-ing Lucy into smashing the mirror. You DO like her.

- Lockwood rolling the dice with whether or not Joplin's gun works. Therapy. NOW.

- Quill telling Lucy about what its like losing your talents and giving into fear... God. I want to hug him.

- Lockwood asking to split the job commission 30/70 because of Quills teams' help and letting go of the bet because of his respect for the team after what they went through.... Hes A Good Lad. I want them all to be friends

- George, Lockwood and Lucy apologizing to one another and talking about their conflict. I'm so proud. Communication win.

- YES THE REVEAL OF GEORGES GLASSES HAVING NO LENSES WHEN HE LOOKED IN THE MIRROR one of my fav moments in the series so clever and so funny

- I'm glad Lockwood leaves the decision about keeping the Skull to Lucy. Hes right, she is the one most affected by it, and I'm glad his enthusiasm for the skull making them fame and fortune that he had at the start of this book has been curbed by his concern and care for her

- YES THEYRE TALKING ABOUT THE LYRE SYMBOL ON THE BOX AND THE GOGGLES. THE ORPHEUS SOCIETY

- OOOOOH LOCKWOODS SHOWING THEM THE ROOM LOCKWOODS SHOWING THEM JESSICA'S ROOM

- CLIFFHANGER ENDING I REMEMBER THIS

-----

okay so i have a newfound appreciation for this book. I don't know what it is, or why, but I enjoyed going back through it a lot this time and I'm really glad i decided to give it another chance. I really enjoyed all of the character development and all the stuff with Quills team and I am SO excited to start the next book.

Because!!! Next up is The Hollow Boy!!!! My favourite book!!!!, Holly's debut!!! I AM SO EXCITED!!!

unnamed kitty cat wip worldbuilding

hey gamers it's time for me to talk about the kibbies

not sure who to tag but uhhh if you wanna hear more about the kibbies. this is your one-stop shop for that.

so the basic premise for this world is that it's another post-apocalyptic fantasy, this time one focusing on animals. specifically cats, but other animals probably have their own shit going on and would make appearances now and then.

anyway, this story focuses on three colonies of cats (i've gone back and forth between calling them clowders and colonies, but for now i'm going with colonies) living in the remains of what was once a bustling coastal city. there are still humans alive and around in this world, but they've long since abandoned this place and the cats don't really know what humans are. the city isn't full of just cats, though--it's also full of monsters, which the cats struggle to live alongside.

these cats, with time, adapted to their environment and circumstances to become, as i affectionately call them, funky little freaks. the obvious difference is that they're intelligent enough and sentient enough to form their own little societies, but there's more! we'll get into that.

so what are each of the colonies? more info on them under the cut! it's important to note that these are by and large generalizations about each group, and there are exceptions to everything i say in here.

cadogan colony

the cadogan colony is a group of cats living near the docks, in an area that was once a bustling shipyard. they're incredibly skilled at both swimming and fishing, as one might guess, but there's a catch to that: the water where they are is INCREDIBLY toxic and highly acidic. it's not safe to swim in for most creatures. however, these absolute mad lads do so anyway.

cadogan cats have evolved over time to have a strong resistance to the poison in their waters, as well as to the high acidity in the water. they're not completely fine swimming for long periods of time, but they can tolerate it much better than anyone else.

another thing that makes cadogan cats stand out is that, even among the smart funky cats in this world, they're VERY smart little beasts. one thing they've become very skilled at is determining which fish are safe to eat, and which ones are too full of toxins. even if they have a strong resistance to most poisons, they're careful to avoid ingesting too much of it directly.

and finally, cadogan cats have developed some physical mutations, most notably a very thick, water-resistant coat, thick tails to help them steer in the water, and webbed feet to help them swim. also, they have third eyelids like alligators. little freaks (affectionate).

haverford colony

the haverford colony is a group of cats living near the outskirts of the city, on the opposite side from the cadogan's. they specifically live at the edges of a swathe of forest, making their homes in the branches and occasionally venturing out and into the city for one reason or another. however, they usually stay there.

they tend to be large yet light, with strong legs and prehensile tails that make it easy for them to climb and keep their balance in the trees. haverford cats are usually built like. just absolute powerhouses. getting smacked by a haverford cat will ruin your day. they have a weirdly high bite force for cats, and in general just. they are built for living in the trees and fucking up anything that tries to fuck with them.

in terms of culture, haverford cats have a strong culture of honor and respect. they believe that it's important to always fight fair, especially against other cats, and that all life deserves to be respected and defended. they're BIG on defending those who can't defend themselves and just. honor. respect. strength. being a good person (kitty). those are all big here.

the forest is full of big scary monsters, and the haverford cats pride themselves on fighting back these beasts and keeping them from getting into the city. really, they're the first line of defense against the Forest Horrors in many ways, and this culture of strength is reinforced by that.

maddox colony

the maddox colony is the only one that lives in the city itself, mostly near the edges but occasionally venturing deeper inside. these cats tend to be small and scrappy, built for hiding among the rubble and debris more than fighting in the open. for the most part, maddox cats are incredibly crafty and resourceful, using their environment to their advantage.

combat against what? the horrors <3 there are a lot of monsters in the city limits, many of which are specifically located near the heart of the city. maddox cats are frequently caught in fights against them, and they've adapted to fighting for their lives in close quarters on a near daily basis.

while haverford cats have a culture of honor and respecting one's enemy, maddox cats are just willing to do whatever they have to to survive. they help each other however they can and have strong bonds and loyalty to each other, but they don't extend any of that to the monsters they fight. it's kill or be killed, and maddox cats would prefer the former.

in terms of physical mutations, maddox cats really are little freaks (affectionate). namely, their forepaws are more similar in structure to little hands than little paws, and they have opposable thumbs. they're not human hands, not that far, but they're fully capable of grabbing objects and using tools. maddox cats are excellent at crafting, mostly making items for defense against the monsters.

--

misc. notes:

the different colonies have a loose alliance with each other and will help each other in their time of need, but for the most part they're focused on themselves.

there are no rules against interbreeding in the colonies or breeding with cats outside the colonies. why would you care about that when there's monsters everywhere? come on now.

the colonies also have different religious beliefs for the most part, but i will admit i haven't put a lot of thought into that element yet.

yes, these cats say fuck. maddox cats swear the most and haverford cats swear the least.

there is a thriving trade/bartering economy going on among the colonies, primarily consisting of the maddox colony trading for food with the other two in exchange for the cool gadgets they make.

the maddox aren't super technologically advanced, but they're pretty smart and use what they have to great effect.

on that note, kitty mobility aids do exist in this universe. north is going to have a leg brace eventually, made for them by maddox cats.

[plummyplums]

Hello Plummy. Free ticket to talk about your blorbos because I would like to hear about them please 👀

Ok it took me a few days to figure out how I wanted to answer this (goodness there's so much I could say about so many fellas) but I finally decided on doing a lil stream-of-consciousness about the fella you followed me for, Freakazoid! He's the one who currently is taking up the most space in my mind, after all.

I might do more posts about other blorbos later, but this one got so long that I decided to split it all up, even with the cut XD

Random Thoughts: He's my lil guy, just a lil fella! He has so much "annoying brother" energy to me, it's adorable. In my head, he and Dex become more like brothers in a month than Dex and Duncan have been in years. I'm not gonna get into it, but my biggest Blorbo Thoughts are nearly always angst and hurt/comfort, and that does apply here, though it's tough when we have so little canon info on how he works. I'm actually pretty neutral on Dexter; he's a good lad, but he doesn't give my brain the Happy Chemicals like Freak does. I have to actively remind myself to include him in stuff 😭

Not them, but our favorite blue menace has also given me the annoying habit of unconsciously sticking my tongue out, so now I have to actively stop myself from doing that.

Headcanons: I see him as like, a combo of Dexter, some garbage code from the chip, and The Internet Itself. Their existence is incredibly confusing, and I continue to curse the network for failing their show. I like fan ideas of them both having spaces in their mind and communicating through their thoughts, so I keep those in my interpretation. They have the Freakazone, the "Dexterzone" (Dex is on the fence about the name, it's essentially a recreation of his room), and a middle-ground that they can both access. Upon switching, they’ll “spawn” in their respective room and can do whatever from there, and they’ll both be in the mindscape when the body sleeps or is unconscious, no matter who was out.  They’re capable of “locking” their personal room, preventing the other from entering for a time.  No matter where they are, they’re capable of seeing/hearing what the body sees/hears, though they can choose not to.  The mindscape can only be affected by whoever is in it at a given time, and they can add spaces at will, but they’re temporary and usually go away when whoever made them goes out.

I headcanon them as both having ADHD, and having the whole of the internet stuffed in your brain makes it only that much harder to focus. I mean, imagine juggling quite literally millions of thoughts at any given time, 99.9% of which aren't yours and are just the product of what everyone on Earth is looking up. No wonder Freak is considered "crazy". The amount of global internet traffic actually affects his focus; more traffic, more thoughts, more difficulty concentrating. Dex learned binary and basic coding in a period of hyperfixation, and he is constantly starting and stopping things like coding projects, plans to upgrade his computer, transcribing things into binary, learning about various topics, etc. Rejection-sensitive dysphoria makes it hard for him to approach people, considering how he's treated by his peers, but he does his best and would really like to make friends!

They both love cats, I know they do. Mr. Chubbykins may be the family cat, sure, but he's Dexter's cat at heart. Younger Dex picked him out at the shelter, named him, and spoils him enough that his name still applies. Freak is influenced heavily by the internet, and even since the early days, the internet has always loved cats. He's more prone to trying to put poor Chubbykins in little outfits (which Dexter heavily discourages) than actually taking care of him. On that topic: Dexter is a cat person, Freak is a "it's in my vicinity and I can pet it" person.

AU Time: I've actually been poking at the idea of an AU where Freak was the human and Dex was the being created by the chip, a roleswap. Freddie Douglas (someone told his parents that they shouldn't name their second child alliteratively when the whole family is like that already) exists in Dexter's place, and he's pretty much just Freak but mellowed to a degree. He's a gymnast, wrestler, and tech enthusiast, but more generalized to all electronic devices, not just computers. He just likes working with his hands, really. It's nerdy enough for Duncan to still give him trouble, though.

The Pinnacle Chip creates Poindexter (working name), a genius mad scientist type. While Freakazoid is the fleeting, scattered, attention- and entertainment-seeking nature of the internet, Poindexter is the academically collaborative, logical, and organizational nature of it. Despite being very different, they both encompass parts of it. He's a very cerebral superhero, and he's always thinking 50 steps ahead to problem-solve and protect people. Heck, he can read 3 textbooks in an hour and absorb everything in them. He's full of fun facts that he loves to share and is more socially awkward than his counterpart. Don't get me wrong though, he still loves to have fun and is a bit of a trickster! He just has more self-control. And also telekinesis.

Wilo complimented the photo of the baby and Ben genuinely had a moment where he thought about lying and saying it was his godson. He felt guilty about that all day and beat himself up about it. When Ben rejects Wilo’s sexual advances, Wilo is an angel about it and backs off completely. It drives Ben insane because is Wilo playing hard to get like pre-baby Ben would have done or is he actually a nice and respectful guy? Ben knows who he thinks Wilo is, knows who he needs and wants Wilo to be but he’s not entirely certain that the reality matches up. He drives Ben crazy.

Ben getting pregnant was an accident. He’d seen Leo do it and thought no chance but that’s because he never saw himself settling down or anything. Leo and KT had their first kid young (I am desperate to drop that lore on you ngl) and it had left Ben kind of scarred. He was in his young and reckless phase, dragging Dec out as often as could and ignoring anyone who recommended he slowed down. Kalvin had always been around – when Dec didn’t come out, Kalvin was Ben’s second call meaning he went out with Kalvin a lot. They’d hooked up a lot and Kalvin had always toyed with Ben a little bit, saying that when they were ready to settle down that they would. That they should get a house and have a kid and be the couple in their friend group that people were jealous of. Kalvin only talked about it when they were tipsy, he had sold Ben a dream long before their casual sex turned into a full fling and Ben got knocked up. Ben went to the doctor with what he thought was a nasty vomiting bug only to learn he was pregnant – Kalvin hadn’t taken care of him when he was sick, just sent him a text saying to let him know when he was better. Ben didn’t freak out when he found out because he thought he had Kalvin, he thought it would be okay and had even considered doing a cute pregnancy announcement. Instead he just blurted it out as soon as possible the next time he saw Kalvin who reacted positively and seemed fine. Ben woke up the next morning to a note from Kalvin saying he was sorry but he couldn’t do it and was fine with whatever choices Ben made. Ben tried to call him but Kalvin ignored him and had seemingly deactivated all his social media accounts. A few weeks later, he’d hear through the grape vine that Kalvin was in Manchester and pretended to have known. Even though Kalvin was gone, Ben still thought he would come back and kept the baby because he knew that someday Kalvin would come back to him. It was when he was laying in the hospital bed, with Kieran holding his son in the chair by his bed, that Ben realised it wasn’t going to happen. He realised he was alone in that moment and once again Kieran was kind enough to keep his mouth shut about the breakdown he witnessed Ben having.

Dec, Leo and KT all know the baby is Kalvin’s baby even if Ben claims it was just some random hook up. Around the time of Ben getting pregnant, he’d been texting more and seemed lighter and even declined Dec’s invitation to go out which all of them thought was suspicious. They assumed that when he sent a text saying he needed to talk to all of them that he would tell them he was in a relationship but it was actually him announcing his pregnancy  and lying to them about who the father was. Kalvin mysteriously leaving London had seemed odd at the time but based on how bitter Ben was when his name came up, the lads were able to put two and two together. They pretend for Ben’s sake not to know anything.

SCREAMING PLS SEND ME KTROSSARD LORE ON A SEPARATE ASK PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS with how much u overshadowing ben's "jealousy" towards what ktrossard have LMAO are ktrossard actually married or just partners??????

back to ben's lore

do you think he actually LIKES being pregnant? I think he did like it even when he was all alone. he craves it, misses it, even though he has his 13 months old son growing perfectly every single day. but he likes carrying a life within him I bet 😍😍😍😍😍 ((( like rl ben is so mother hen-like on the pitch towards b and Martin lol ))) >>> obviously kai would confide to him. they're in a somehow less ideal predicament compared to Leo, who's happy and is in a team working towards the same goal with KT.

but pls, spill what makes ben will finally FINALLY give in and start trusting/allowing willo to date him? just the little step... what is it...

also smh kalvin spouting promises he never intended to keep........... he just liked being pampered by ben I knew it............ mommy issue from Kalvin's side............ of course!!!!!!

[hamstermastersamster]

So I feel like The Callisto Protocol may have been reviewed a bit harshly, but after finishing it tonight, I also feel like it's just . . . a super mid, lacklustre game somehow. I had some fun with it, and visually it was nice in that generic AAA way, and some of the jump scares got me, but it was lacking something. It left me feeling like I caught a tantalising whiff of my beloved sci-fi horror, and then the waiter lifted the lid off the plate and it was a tiny salad >:[

I think its cardinal sins are:

Too much gore and horror and viscera and dead bodies in your face right from the get-go, and then it's everywhere all the time so it loses its impact. The whole game feels aesthetically gross (affectionate) but you get desensitised to it basically as soon as you're in the prison

Tedious combat, because really only the melee is effective or enjoyable and once you master how many times to dodge for each enemy, it becomes repetitive no matter how many mobs they throw at you at once (they mostly wait in line to hit you, very polite mutated freaks these lads are)

Shitty guns that aren't visually, audibly or otherwise satisfying to use in any way, and are about as effective as a pea shooter on most enemies. Even when fully upgraded the 'explosive' rounds just look like a little flurry of pathetic sparks - and speaking of . . .

Shitty upgrades that did not stimulate or excite me or feel like they had any major impact on anything

Found myself absolutely starving for a map. While I respect its decision to keep to a really minimal interface without objective markers, map etc. and acknowledge that this can be a valid Game Design Choice, this doesn't really work if you're also going to do that irritating thing where you cut players off from going back if they accidentally go the 'right' way too early. And this happens without points-of-no-return being clearly marked - like a door will just lock behind you without warning or good reason, and that's it :\ Plus I'm just biased towards metroidvania-esque map exploration and progression in my survival horror, what can I say xP

On top of previous point, randomised loot ughhhh . . . and limited inventory space with poorly-spaced vending machines to sell your sellable crap. If you can get 2-3 vends in 5 minutes and then go an hour without one, leaving you to constantly have to optimise the value of your inventory and leave shit behind, it's . . . it's just bad game design, man. And it makes exploring worthless and unrewarding when you know you can't pick anything else up anyway! This is different in map-heavy games because you can plan return trips and stuff, but it's not really possible in TCP.

You can manual save but this actually does nothing but bank your last auto checkpoint, meaning AFTER a checkpoint you could go into the vending machine, sell and upgrade lots of stuff to your liking, wander off and die, and reload and . . . have to do all the inventory shit again. Guess who this happened to, multiple times!

But, y'know, if you like survival horror and sci-fi horror, I'd still give it a shot. It has atmosphere and a decent enough plot, even if it doesn't really do anything original or outstanding.

EDIT: Oh but DO NOT PLAY IF EPILECTIC, there's a lot of strobe and flickering lighting in some areas.

hey anon, i'm sorry you found your words have been mocked and misconducted. but the things is that joe himself has already stated about wes us that the man is his best friend in the entire world. they got drunk and got botched poke tattoos together and they know each other for a long time now. and since we do have an explanation from joe himself on his and wes' relationship, unless he comes back and says otherwise, there's very little room to imagine there's something else happening. we also have statements and actions from joe that so far can lead us to believe he's just majorly open minded but not at all seeking a male partner. he flirts with basically anyone but he goes strong on it when he sees a cute woman. there's a report somewhere that two lads invited him and a female friends of theirs to a bar and the lads absolutely hate joe's guts 'cause he only spoke to the girl lol which means whenever rabid, jealous joe fans see him and wes together, they sigh in relief he's with him and not some woman, and when he's with a woman, these fans who have constructed this very unhealthy parasocial relationship with him will always freak out. they go absolutely crazy to the point of stalking even the unknown ones. sending death threats to the ones in the public eyes like models and costars is easy, but if he's sweet with a fan and flirts with her and she gushes about it as anyone of us would, she's hunted down. it's sad. the point you're trying to make is a legit one. no matter the progress we've made, society still clings to the 'oh, a man with a man? BUDDIES FOR SURE!' 'JUST GUYS BEING DUDES'. take it from historians. dudes will find out to royalty men had constructed tunnels so their bedrooms could meet and the'll write down 'aaaaahhhh what a strong friendship <3 <3' and it's very sad and i think it's gonna take us on the lgbtq community a long time to win this battle this and i honestly don't think we will without straight people jumping in and helping too. it's the reason steddie gets demonized and hellcheer doesn't. it's the reason our steddie questions were cut from an event because the venue that held the even was homophobic. it's the reason i'll be avoiding twitter like the plague this weekend because i know it'll be a hellcheer event and if they find a way to shit on steddie, they will. i'm really , really, sorry you got hurt, anon. that was not the point. i think the best anons who made a case about this situation was that the one that they were happy joe got to spend time with his friends and was absolutely sick of the same things you are, and the one who made sure we knew that yeah, a man who has had girlfriends doesn't negate a possible male partner in the future. i hope you can forgive us who have hurt you and i hope i could at least explain how the majority of us are on your side. you're not wrong in your opinion but you're wrong on the situation? in the end, it's a waiting game for those care about his love life. i personally find him charming and just fucking funny and i needed a public figure like that. do i also crush on the man? hell yeah. but i also know we will never meet and life isn't a move and all i got that i can show him for real is my respect. but like i said, tho those desperately wanting to know if he'll date, it's a waiting game. and it's a miserable one because it takes you down to rabbit holes full of misogyny and homophobia. best thing we can do right now is support the man and you know, one day he'll introduce a partner and that will be it.

Yeah you said everything I think🤍

I'm sorry that nonnie felt hurt 😔
