Anon Ask response below! Very slight chapter 5 "spoiler" info too.

I thought I'd respond this way since I've rather liked being able to respond in chunks throughout the ask! ^_^

I saw the ask about bear related nicknames for Oswin, and I imagined my own MC (Winfred, I had mentioned him before) trying to call him any of that. But it doesn't work for him. Mostly because Winfred is taller and broader than Oswin, so if anything, Winfred resembles a bear more. A teddy bear, perhaps, given how sweet and kind he is, but a bear nonetheless.

I remember your Winfred! I love that, lol. So Oswin can be the honey to Winfred's bear?

Also, on a similar line of thought, I always think it's hilarious but very cute how protective the group is of my MC. Because, sure, Winfred is in a terrible unfair situation. But they don't know that at the beginning (except for Oswin), and my MC surely doesn't look weak nor frail. So it's funny to read how they all want to protect him so much. Yet, it's also so endearing. Winfred is such a sunny kind of character, I do imagine he is hard not to love.

That is adorable. They are all convinced that no matter how someone appears, they deserve a hand up when faced with troubles. Zahn is like an angry kitten putting on a brave face for Winfred, lol.

Speaking of love (I know I'm rambling at this point, sorry), I am heartbroken for Winfred. Because he used the chance to confess his feelings, and Oswin stopped him. And I don't know how Winfred would process that. Not entirely at least.

I've seen that theme in a few asks. I completely feel that, it's valid for MC's to feel heartbroken or rejected. It'll play out though and on the way home, Winfred will get to figure out how he feels about that.

For one, I know he won't force the topic again. He is understanding that Oswin needs time to tell him everything, so he'll understand he doesn't have to speak about love with Oswin just yet. However, I do imagine he could end up feeling resigned. In the sense he would interpret Oswin refusal not as Oswin feeling guilty about being loved by him, but rather as a declaration of an obvious fact: Oswin doesn't love him (which we know it isn't true, but Winfred doesn't know that). And since my Winfred's heart is wholly devoted, entirely and irrevocably owned by Oswin... It means Winfred probably would accept he'll never experience romantic love.

Awe, he's really going to go through it then. That is sweet, and it sounds to me like they sort of love in the same deep way.

Now, this is tragic and all, but I do imagine a funny scenario where Winfred —convinced Oswin doesn't, can't and will not ever love him— will try to find a partner that could make Oswin happy. Assuming Winfred survives, of course. Mostly because Winfred loves Oswin so much, that he prefers to see him happy with someone else than miserable. And maybe, if Oswin finds someone to love, then if Winfred died he would not feel as much pain, or at least would have someone to support him... I realize this stopped being funny to turn sad, guess I'm too fond of angst to stop myself.

LOL It's a sweet notion even if there is an underlying sadness to it! Oswin would be so torn up about that too.

In any case, I know you released chapter 5 recently. But I feel I need more and want to read chapter 6 as soon as possible. Especially so because the conclusion of chapter 5 shattered my expectations of how the story was going to go. I expected the journey to last until MC found a cure, not that they would return home. And that's not taking about the magic stuff that's going on. There is so much to learn about this world, and I'm hooked.

I miiiight have an outline going already.... :D I am really excited to write it too! I need to make some corrections to chapter 5 of course still, but I can't help but outline 6 to satisfy the "itch." The trip home is just to re-group though, so never fear, Winfred will be off to find answers again after a plan is made. I'm glad you love learning more about the world too, because there's some really fun info coming up! ^_^

Of course, don't pressure yourself. And remember to drink water too.

No worries! I'm making sure to take pretty good breaks before I really get into writing like normal. Winter is a very sleepy time for me and I know my limits. When I feel the spark, I poke around in my documents though. And I always have my water thermos at the ready!

Have a nice day!

You too my dear! Thank you for stopping by and sharing your thoughts! ^_^

Just finished playing MCSM first season.

And you know what?

I'M IN LOVE WITH THAT GAME!!

The amount of energy and details, creativity and even silliness that was put in!!! I love the feel of canonical setting. All new objects or mobs look like they would really be in the game, that's what i really appreciate. I also want to pay special attention to the soundtrack of the game, because its just amazing!

All these plot twists, and generally adventure ideas! dammit, i even loved all the cliche moments, because they seem so spot on!!

I may not play a lot, or just impressionable.

But if you never heard of it, or thought about playing, this is your call, THIS GAME IS AWESOME!!!

Adventure! They were off! Overlord had set his sights for The US of A in their search for Aero, the little musical femme. Overlord was sporting the local attire. He'd invested in very large very... breezey leather pants. For some reason the aft part was missing, a fact that Overlord didn't seem to mind. It was quite invigorating actually! Quite refreshing!

He's also gotten himself a cowboy hat, providing a matching one for Sparkie as he prepared for the journey.

Let's see... energon treats, engex, energon, medkit, stasis cuffs, Celine Dion CDs... hm... what else was he missing... oh! Pinky! His beloved stuffed unicorn was snatched up from nearby, sealed away safely in subspace.

"How do I look, Sparkie?" Overlord tilted his hips, dipping his hat and nodding. "Paaaartner." He drawled out the word, lopsided grin on his faceplates.

ADVENTURE!!

It’s been colored :D

AU Bot Plots: The Tea Pot Rebellion

In this AU, Zuko gives up chasing Aang fairly early. After the siege on the Northern Tribe, and Azula's attempt to murder him on Ozai's orders, Zuko gives up on everything. He and Iroh make it to Ba Sing Se, and start working at the tea shop. What Zuko doesn't realize is that Iroh is still very active in the White Lotus Society, and the tea shop is a front for an underground rebellion (he'll be embarrassed later that it took him so long to realize, but in his defense, he's pretty deep into a depression. It's pretty easy to slip stuff by him at this point).

After teaming up with Toph, the Gang ends up going to find Hakoda and his crew. That's when they learn about the White Lotuses, who are trying to gather as much support as possible to overthrow the Fire Lord. Sokka's plan to use the eclipse is discussed, but the problem of who would take over the Fire Nation after Ozai is brought up. That's when the Lotuses with Hakoda reveal that among their group is a high ranking member of the Fire Nation royal family. They trust him enough to want to install him as the new Fire Lord after getting rid of Ozai and Azula as threats. The Gaang is given a mission; go to Ba Sing Se and get King Kuei to send his troops into battle, rendezvous with the Fire Nation noble, and protect him until they clear the way to set him up on the throne.

It sounds too good to be true, but Hakoda trusts the White Lotus Society, and that's good enough for his children, at least. Getting to Ba Sing Se is easy, but then they encounter trouble with King Kuei's advisor, Long Feng. They can't get an audience with the king, and are threatened to not speak about the war within the walls of the city. Still, they manage to connect with the White Lotus members in Ba Sing Se, who take them to the Fire Nation noble who they want to put on the throne. It takes every member of the White Lotus present to prevent Katara and her friends from attacking Zuko, but finally everyone settles down enough for the White Lotus to explain everything. This is how Zuko finds out that not only has his uncle been a sleeper agent for a counter-Fire Nation rebel group, that group is now enlisting the Avatar and his friends to help overthrow Ozai and set his uncle on the throne.

Only, Iroh has one correction to make. He doesn't intend to take the throne. He has done too much damage to expect the world to trust him anymore than his brother. Instead, he wants to put his nephew in charge of the Fire Nation. Iroh only intends to stay on as regent for a couple of years. Now the Gaang must put aside their differences to make sure that Zuko makes it to the end of the war.

I want to read a story in which Jin Ling saves jiujiu from dangerTAT

Like, somehow Jiang Cheng gets into danger and it falls to Jin Ling to go out there and save his uncle - he goes on an adventure and defeats many enemies, before he gets to free jiujiu and bring him home safely!

Anyone knows any fic like that?

Mutant Me

Had this really cool dream last night where I'd just joined this team of teenage mutants -- think New Mutants from back in the day, because that's probably what my brain based it off of -- and I was like, getting to know my teammates and fighting a monster and trying to pull off some kind of PR event that might also have been a protest... Was really having a good time being a teenager with mutant powers.

Having waited a few years to actually read and get into the lore of the Trinity Continuum version of the Trinity TTRPG is silly, but also it’s great because I’m absorbing multiple books at once and my brain is hyper fixating so much I’m vibrating.

I heard more cars honk in that 5 minute ride than I have EVER heard in Pittsburgh wtf man

[bereft-of-frogs]

Ok. I have to go to the grocery store. I hate going to the grocery store. So here’s the deal @ self you’re going to have coffee and read a book and then you’re going to go get a donut and an iced coffee at the fancy donut shop and take a walk and browse in the neighboring bookstore and then go grocery shopping. Then you can come back and write or play cult of the lamb or whatever. Deal? Deal.
