The Farewell before the event in general…v_v

Before the events of IIIEP18 Part 1 on 02/03/24 at 11:55 pm

'Sprinkles just messed with your PC!'

Sprinkles: Ready!

'Sprinkles keeps your PC in the weeds!'

N-Slash-A: Sprinkle! I need to tell you something, I'm going to miss you a lot even though we'll meet tomorrow, I don't think it will be a reunion at the right time because there's turmoil in the middle of it!

Sprinkles: It's okay Slash, it won't be your fault if you kill me if there is a duel between us, as it should be for a good cause, but if that doesn't happen, I still have two opposing paths, still good ending or bad ending, like We are inanimate, we are fragile and we don't last long, it could be that one of us will probably die in confetti at some natural moment tomorrow and we don't want that to happen. happen to us!

N-Slash-A: Ahhh, and you told Skullck that if we were going to explode into confetti, you told him to take care of his DA channel for the rest of his life?

Sprinkles: Yes, I told you before I turned off my PC, he is now sleeping underground and at least he never showed up in the filming of III because if he had shown up tomorrow, we don't know if he will probably survive or die, but let's pray from consciously so that everything goes well between us!

N-Slash-A: I understand what you mean by sprinkles, but why don't you go with me to that dark island with me, me and my current Bot family can take care of you and we can be together forever, like a family, most united of all, and what do you say, you're coming!

Sprinkles: No Slash, thanks for the offer but I won't, because ever since I ran away to a remote part of the island, I've always wanted to ask forgiveness from Yin-Yang being Yin at that moment, to get back with them soon, which has been my dream since Christmas 2022, so I thought about fixing Riggity Rex, which is Yin-Yang's stuffed animal, even though it wasn't complete but it was worth the effort and I confess that I stole something from there, which was this PC that I left under the bushes, to have fun, so at the beginning of 2023, I visited several websites and my favorite was DA, which I was only able to start opening my channel on September 17, 2023, as my first objective was to seek recognition from the entertainment community. objects to give me confidence and believe that I am still alive to return with the yin-yang and stay with them forever, my ultimate goal being, of course, tomorrow before noon, I can leave in the Armago climate, betraying them to capture the mephone4 after mistreating us during this season, but if it happens ok I will stay with the yin-yang like my owners if I didn't die naturally exploding into confetti and if you are also alive, let's go make plans to get married and have children and I will also continue in the DA and This will definitely be the best moment of our lives after the Gang Era!

N-Slash-A: Ahhh, I understand your dream…

'Sprinkles and N-Slash-A start hugging and kissing before saying goodbye!'

N-Slash-A: So that's it, Goodbye Sprinkles…

Sprinkles: Goodbye Slash…

'Sprinkles very upset with his decision, goes to Riggity Rex to prepare!'

Sprinkles: Give or leave!

'Sprinkles leaves Riggity Rex there and goes to sleep in the nest!'

Sprinkles: ZZZzzzz…

Slices: Great RPG Mechanics #RPGMechanics: Week Three

Yesterday I talked about flashbacks as an element of play. Today I want to talk about them as a cornerstone. I’m using the term slice, as in vertical slice for this. I’m sure there’s a better way to say this. But these are games which anchor us to start at a specific point in time, a slice that we’re exploring. Some play happens there but the major is retrospective: incidents from the past, shared history, insights into tragedy.

I think this represents more structure than a specific mechanic, but it is one worth pulling out.

A couple of my favorite instances of this come from Pelgrane’s amazing rpg collection Seven Wonders. If you haven’t checked that out, you should. Each game is striking and interesting, revolving around a dynamite core concept and all very different from one another.

Admittedly my favorite from the collection is Before the Storm by Joanna Piancastelli. It hits on many things I love: shared world building, exploration of history, tragic heroes. The game begins with the table reading through a prophecy about fighting off a potentially world-ending foe in a fantasy realm. The group then picks setting elements to define that and sets the tone. Each player builds a character using prompts generated from playing cards.

Then we set the stage. It is the night before the great battle. Tomorrow our band of heroes will face off in a final confrontation with the Foe. They don’t know if they will live or die, triumph or fail. This is a last chance for the characters to talk, share secrets, and explore how they came to be here. Scenes in the present moment flash back to the past giving us insights into who these characters are. The sketchiness of initial character creation supports this, letting up fill in details via these moments. Those Slices of the past do so much.

There’s more to it– scenes generate cards which get played at the end to determine both if the group succeeds or not and if the individual heroes live or die. I’ve enjoyed it every time I’ve played it and have even run it with a superhero re-skin ala Avengers: Endgame.

Becky Annison’s When the Dark is Gone from Seven Wonders also takes a Slice approach. This rpg has a game facilitator in the form of a therapist who has brought together a group of clients with a shared history in order to make one last try at uncovering the group trauma which has so deeply affected them.

And as we discover that trauma stems from when they were younger and whisked away to a magical realm ala Narnia, isekai, DIE, etc. Here the present is the therapy session. The play is about playing out repressed memories and building a story of what happened in the past. The adventure has happened, it changed their lives, but they’ve not confronted that in the years since. It’s a great pitch and the game provides a lot of tools for digging into those concepts.

I’m sure there are other games which establish a fixed point in the present with play being slices of the past. Lots of great fiction uses this flashback structure– seasons of TV shows which begin with the end and then go back to show us how we got there. I love these two especially for how the two levels interact with one another, exposing how the characters have changed. We see two versions, in some ways, of every PC and get to build a great shared setting.

Lovebird Observation Notes Day 1

I have never actually had or handled a lovebird specifically, cockatiels, parakeets, zebra finches, ducks, chickens - heck actually handled a macaw and cockatoo more than I did a lovebird. Though I have done a lot of reading and know a decent bit on them from an academic and "birder" community stand point.

Generally speaking, lovebirds are pretty hyperactive and tend to make really strong bonds either with their human or their forever bonded partner which was largely why I was pretty concerned when my neighbor said "You can have her, I honestly have two parrotlets and I like them better" - which I was originally pretty mad and annoyed about, and still am a bit even though I think it comes from the place of having done the very common issue of a stupid and uneducated purchase on a "cute and pretty pet"

Thankfully, I'm also very needy of a bird human that needs bird company and have a corner in our bedroom near my PC where my cockatiels get to be right up next to me and space on the desk for a second cage. Additionally, I ALSO have cockatiels that could live across the desk as a cage neighbor for her to passively socialize with when I'm not home (asked a professional semi-local rehabilitate their opinion on if I could / should take the lovebird and if I should get a second to give her company as I was thinking of adopting a second lovebird from an official rescue center if it would have been better for her)

I think shes a yellow mutant Fischer's specifcifcally, she overpreens and has a slightly over grown beak (though not so much I would consider it a health issue, but enough so that I notice it as an orange flag)

The cage she came in isn't the worst I seen as - for one lovebird - it does give her some space to fly and move around. Her toy selection is really not the best for a lovebird and looks more catered to a parakeets needs. She needs more stuff to shred to maintain her beak and her general behavioral needs and she does need more space to move to accomodate her hyper active nature. Her food was largely to be desired - millet and what I think was probably parakeet food or cheap lovebird food at best

She has a tendency to bang against the corner of the cage a lot which is probably due to it being 1) slightly too small 2) her having no real toys that she could destroyed and break.

She's pretty hesitant towards people but as far as birds that need rehabilitation or socialization, she's honestly pretty quick to warm up and trust at least to the point of being relatively close to me when in the cage and her also lowering her head for longer periods when eating without checking up on me.

She seems pretty curious and interested in my cockatiels as well which is pretty cool.

Lucy is curious as well but he is hesitant at this strange birds since I don't think hes really seen a non-cockatiel up close. He's actually decided to sit on my shoulder and watch her from a bit a far since I am safe but also closer.

I also appreciate him doing this cause he's basically also showing her that I absolutely am fine to jump on and climb over and trust (he's taking the time of being on me to preen me too XD He's not frequently a shoulder bird cause he's got an ego and would rather be a FREE boy who NEEDS no owner) but she seems to be warming up to the new location pretty quickly and well. I'm keeping her in the safety of the cage until I learn her better and she gets comfortable to lower the stress on her, me and my cockatiels (plus the risk - however low considering neither flocks seem to have any illnesses - of avian flu so good practice to keep them apart for a bit).

Tomorrow I'm gonna go see if I can get her a cheap but better sized cage and Lucy / Avery have been needing new toys anyways so getting them both some new toys - fixing some of the core basic physiological needs and issues before going off and trying to tame her and get her used to people.

I'd be willing to return her to her owner after she's tamed and all under the conditions she follows a list of welfare and care suggestions cause honestly, rehabilitating and helping parrots is just a fun pass time personally for me. I'm more than happy to do so XD

That plus she did seem well intended after getting more information on her situation and if she is willing to comply with care and welfare conditions and suggestions, it could probably also improve the life of her parrotlets as well.

Apparently she regularly takes them both to and from the office where they can fly around more freely which is such a good idea and concept so I do have respects there. The issue just is that its clear she didn't do her research before buying a lovebird nor did she really learn much on whats needed AFTER buying one. Either way, Imma give this lovebird therapy.

She's also like "You know shes not tame AT ALL" and "Are you SURE? I feel like I might just be over encumbering you"

And Im like one, I've lived with parrots my entire life, my two cockatiels here used to travel between living with me and living with a flock of 7-8 cockatiels at a time in the past. One lovebird more than my two cockatiels is not too much. And TWO, she's an untamed mild over-preener.

Avery over here was probably from a breeder mill where she was probably taken from her parents too soon and as a result doesn't know how to preen right, doesn't know how to bathe right, didn't know how to fly right, either has a neurological issue from crashing when young or from being inbred, and when we got her my mom gave up on her after a year plus of her biting her fingers off and flying off when anything that might LOOK like a hand was within 10 ft of her.

I think I can handle an untamed slightly stressed lovebird 😂 Plus I'm literally an animal behavioralist and work in animal research in two months I think I'm good.

*also im internally crying at the opportunity to save a mentally ill birb, its so theraputic and lowkey I think I've been mildly triggered since I havent been able to take her in even though I know shes a bird in need since I kept missing my neighbor*

Either way, she's looking very happy and pleased with the current situation which is A LOT more than I had expected, so I think she likes the casual companionship I've given her the past hour with my birds and me at my desk + the slightly improved food quality (let her have my cockatiel seeds, they rotate between two different pellets, a pretty good mix of seeds and get regular fresh fruit and veg whenever I put them in my meals which is near daily)

She's already sleeping and I've seen her happy fluff about this which considering this is a new home with new birds - I'm extremely shocked to hav- I HEARD HER BEAK GRIND IM GONNA CRY

Anyways, day one update on Raya the Lovebird.

[yoiku]

So, an update. Should be getting my pc back tomorrow but I'm afraid the issue will still be there, as they did not find anything in the hardware even with really harsh 100hr+ testing. They're thinking it could be a windows issue and honestly win11 is made out of pure shit so while it wouldn't surprise me, I still doubt it'll disappear with just another re-install. I already did that once before since I suspected it could be all the tweaks I put in in order to make it more tolerable to use. but it still kept booting me even after a fresh install when I did nothing to it. (also if it was a windows issue you'd think windows would be able to tell you that eh) So I think I'll just have to deal with it and see if at some point it would get fix itself with some updates or something. I guess we'll just have to see. I wont lie though, I am really pissed with all of this by now. I've done all I can and I've listened and tried so many tech tips from what feels like a horde of people, I have burned all of my fuses for any more of that for a good while. I appreciate that people are mostly genuinely hoping they could help, but there's a limit after which it just starts to distort my mind into a very negative space. I should have everything installed again by the weekend, so I'll probably try streaming at some point, random boots or not o7

Ok, pre-lore Karmaland liveblog + the inevitable L / Q lore liveblog whenever that starts:

(very late because I forgot to hit "post” before I left the house orz)

Sapo Peta: I WILL rescue Luckity Me: King you better rescue Luzu’s PC first he’s been lagging ALL DAY

Oh man Sapo Peta doesn’t think of Quackity romantically after the situation in the cave?? I don’t even remember what happened in the cave I just remember that they had a big fight

Sapo Peta: If I save Luckity, it will also save Karmaland *HEAVY BREATHING* DOES THIS MEAN MY THEORY IS CORRECT???

As long as Sapo Peta can keep them from dying that’s what matters :(

Sapo Peta’s trying so hard to help them, he’s not concerned about love or his own feelings :(((

Gosh I wish he’d post a PNG of the Karmaland news so I could translate it and read it properly :(

why is Alexby hitting on Sapo Peta GIRL ARENT YOU ENGAGED

Actually Fargan never frickin proposed, chase your bliss Alexby you deserve something

Awh Sapo Peta saying he’s suffered enough in love :((( Poor Sapo Peta, his poor heart...

OH NO HE SAID HE FEELS USED....MAN I FEEL SO BAD

Sapo Peta just said of all the worlds he has been to, this is the worst, the most chaotic of all, J E E Z

AWH.. ALEXBY GAVE HIM A HUG  TT o TT

I adore Alexby so much he’s SO sweet

Wait why are they visting Vegetta I missed that completely

Man I really hope Luzu’s tech issues will get fixed. Can you imagine if they all had to stop mid-lore and go UHHHH TBH TOMORROW because Luzu can’t log in? Pftt

LMAO SAPO PETA SAYING “Everyone wants a frickin thumbnail”, poor guy. “All of you only want me for clicks :(((”

Rubius just realized Vegetta is on the server and they’re immediately fighting in DMs boys PLEASE

Alexby telling Sapo Peta he’s in love with Fargan.... FARGAN LOG THE FRICK ON, Fargexby fans are the real losers today, no matter how Luckity ends :( I’m so sorry Fargexby fans but at least you got your crumbs

LUZU’S ONLINE??? OH BOY

oh no but what if he can’t go live again?

Noooo Rubius said he has a Christmas present that can’t be opened until December, but Karmaland probably won’t last until the 25th of December SOBS

Sapo Peta said he has a plan for Luzu and Quackity to restore peace to Karmaland, and he will try to make them fall in love again and I’m like. A) My theory is absolutely correct and B) MY HEART IS SHATTERED

Ow someone said “Maybe they’ll forgive each other but I don’t know if they’ll be able to fall in love again”

IMO even if they forgive each other I don’t think they’ll ever be the same as they were before. They aren’t the same people anymore. The person they loved isn’t there anymore, but the love remains

FRICK LUZU AND Q JUST WENT LIVE

Quackity: Someone in chat just said "I hope it ends up with a wedding". So stupid, mock them in chat LMFAO DONT BE FRICKIN RUDE QUACKITY, LET US DREAM IT”S ALL WE HAVE

Quackity: Today we are having a conversation with Luzu but what he doesn't know is that I'm taking something with me that threatens his life WHAT IS THIS ACTUALLY GONNA BE A MURDER SUICIDE ENDING?? Does he have a bomb on him or something?? QUACKITY PLEASE DONT DIE

Quackity: It ends today. Chat: You should fix it in bed Quackity: NO. Today either he dies or I die LMFAO CHAT.....GUYS PLEASE

Quackity: I'm about to have the most important conversation in my life and Rubius has me trapped down here LMAO Rubius really said “The bit > Lore” and He’s Right

Luzu: Today, Quackity and I have to either work together... or say goodbye. [SKULL EMOJI]

Sapo Peta told them if they went to space they might not be able to come back?? Maybe that’s what they mean when they say Karmaland will end, because they will no longer be in Karmaland???

Rubius: It’s better this way, if I can’t come back HUH???

Sapo Peta: They always ask me for a thumbnail but they never ask me how I am LMFAO I LOVE HIM

I take it back, Fargexby fans aren’t losing, Sapo Peta himself is losing

Rubius has Titi’s stick :(((

Rubius: I’m excited to see Titi again SOBBING

I love that Luzu and Quackity are both doing a dramatic monologue rn

I KEEP FORGETTING LUZU JUST HAS THAT GIANT NUDE PAINTING OF HIMSELF IN THE MAYOR’S OFFICE LMAO. Imagine trying to talk about politics with the Karmaland mayor and you gotta stare at his naked portrait while discussing some environmental protection act or something PFTTTT

oh man he still has Rubius’ daughter I FORGOT ABOUT THAT

Oh next week they’re going to revive Titi? So Luzu and Quackity might not live to see Titi come back? Oh no

Luzu: It's necessary to forget everything Quackity has done, temporarily. If we're not united, we're doomed. That’s for sure

Luzu: I have to think of Karmaland. Everything I've done has been for Karmaland, I cannot be selfish right now. Oh? I thought everything was supposed to be for Quackity? Hmmmmm suspicious

Quackity: Right now I don't care about Karmaland. I care about my revenge UH OH Man that contrast...

WHAT THE FRICK

Oh is that Sapo Peta??? LMFAO that voice caught me off-guard

THEY BOTH GOT TRANSPORTED AND QUACKITY INSTANTLY STARTS SHOOTING LMFAO

Quackity: HELP Luzu: QUACKITY STOP SHOOTING THIS IS NOT HELPING PFTTT

But his instinct to call for help :((((

Quackity: WHICH OF YOUR HENCHMAN IS DOING THIS? Luzu: NOT EVERYTHING IS ABOUT YOU !!!!

THEY GOT LED INTO A FANART ROOM IM LOSING MY FRICKIN MIND

THEY PULLED GUNS ON EACH OTHER

l o r d

PFTT OK VALID REACTION

OH MY GOSH I DIDNT EVEN FRICKIN NOTICE THERE’S A BED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROOM IM SCREAMING?? THIS IS LITERALLY A FANFIC WHAT IS *HAPPENING*

Oh my gosh they can’t kill each other THANK GOODNESS THAT SCARED ME SO BAD WHEN LUZU SHOT HIM IN THE HEAD

They’re actually talking... but... :(((

But will it change anything? Or will it make things worse? Will Quackity even believe anything Luzu says?

Luzu: It's true, I committed fraud. But I swear to you. It was to protect you. Just before the elections, I had a vision. I didn't remember anything but pain after I woke up, and something in me told me that I had to stop you from being the mayor because I didn't want you to suffer, or be used by others. I wanted to tell you everything, but you got crazy. I wanted to do everything with you, but you behaved unlawfully. I couldn't talk to you anymore. You weren't you anymore, you went insane. Oh my heart is shattered

They should’ve communicated more :((

Luzu: If we had talked to each other from the beginning, nothing would have happened. LIKE I SAID

wait why is Luzu watching a Football Ad

Sapo Peta: I see hate in your eyes Quackity

Quackity: Luzu, you were the best person I knew in Karmaland AGH!!!

Quackity: you're the only one who offered me a hand, and it stops me from shooting you right between the eyes right now AGH....

Quackity: Listen to me carefully. One of the main rules of power and life is the concept involved in our culture. You were the best person I knew. Ever since I came here, my welcome was mocking and humiliation. But you helped me. And I am thankful for that, even now. It took me a while to get accustomed here. But now that I have, I became someone. My voice was heard. And through politics, I finally was heard. And even if they didn't agree with me, I was in a position to be different from the person I was when I got here. And you took that away from me. And even if you want to pretend you wanted to protect me, I don't believe you one bit. I don't regret anything I've done because you took the most important thing I wanted. Oh this writing is so good...

LET HIM FINISH TALKING LUZU!!!!

One of Quackity’s biggest things has always been agency, but he feels like Luzu is taking away that agency and that freedom, and ultimately, his voice. And to some extent, he’s right.

Nooo nooo this isn’t working this isn’t working on no it’s just like we thought

They’re too hurt :(((

Quackity: I got nothing else to live for right now. You took my house, you humiliated me, right now, the only thing I want is to kill you. It's the only thing I will do once we leave, even if I die trying. Oh my heart aches so much

Luzu: What's the first thing I told you? Don't trust anyone but me. And if you did trust me, you would have asked why I did what I did. Quackity: You aren't listening! I am thankful, but I don't care anymore! A FRIEND SHOULDN’T JUST ASK FOR THAT TRUST! THEY SHOULD SHOW IT! QUACKITY IS RIGHT! And it hurts but I understand what he’s saying

Oh my gosh it scared me when Luzu yelled FRICK he’s so good

ahhhh and they’re shooting at each other again, there’s just no way to resolve this peacefully. The hurt runs too deep, the scars are too strong

Sapo Peta sounds so sad :(((

Quackity: Sapo Peta, just let me kill Luzu, then you can kill me. Then everything will end, then Karmaland will be peaceful. FRICK HE REALLY IS GOING FOR A MURDER SUICIDE ROUTE FRICK!!! SAPO PETA PLEASE SAVE THEM

EVEN IF THEY DONT RECONCILE, DONT LET THEM DIE PLEASE

Sapo Peta: For power you've done very bad things. It doesn’t matter anymore what you two have now, because I will erase your memories

WHAT

NO

NOO

NO SAPO PETA IS GOING TO ERASE THEIR MEMORIES NO NO NO SAPO PETA THIS IS NOT WHAT I FRICKIN MEANT!!!!!

Quackity: WHAT THE F**K ARE YOU DOING SAPO PETA -- I SWEAR THERE ARE BETTER WAYS TO DEAL WITH THIS

NO THIS IS SO MUCH WORSE THAN WE THOUGHT NO NO NO DONT DO IT

Sapo Peta: I don't care what you think of each other! Karmaland comes first! Luzu: I won't forget anything you've done! I will keep the memories somewhere and I'll kill you! AND ITS TRUE LUZU’S THE ONLY ONE WHO REMEMBERS THINGS. HE”LL FEEL IT, EVEN IF HE CANT REMEMBER IT

Quackity: Please don't erase my memories I cant live what I've lived through again OH NO... NO NO please don’t re-traumatize him like this

Sapo Peta: This will hurt a little bit Quackity: Please don’t do this

Oh this hurts so much

NO OH NO HES ACTUALLY DOING IT NO!!! NO SAPO PETA PLEASE NO

Quackity: My only purpose is to kill you! I won't forget anything you've done! And before we're brainwashed, I can tell you I'm glad I killed your kids. You don't know how much I've wanted to kill you, I've prayed for it. I'm willing to die to kill you! 

Oh my gosh. he actually did it. Sapo Peta actually erased their memories

Sapo Peta: Oh I’m so glad you’re awake! You were in a coma :D OH FRICK OFF

Sapo Peta’s introducing them to each other I want to SOB

Luzu: “Quackity”... like a duckling! I’m gonna frickin turn into a pile of dust

Quackity: I’m going to call you Vlogs Luzu: Please don’t I WANT TO LAUGH BUT MY HEART HURTS TOO MUCH

So they can remember everything except for each other :((((

Oh no Quackity’s bringing up his cousins, Sapo Peta can’t allow him to see his cousins again though or they’ll remind him aGHHGHHHHH

Luzu: Where do you live, Quackity? Quackity: I used to live in an island, but now I'm homeless. Luzu: Maybe I can help you out, come to my house! Though I can tell you, don't trust people in Karmaland. Quackity: I've been living here for a while though. I CRAVE DEATH

AH.... HE CALLED QUACKITY QUACKS

But this plan won’t work -- because as soon as they talk to literally anyone else in Karmaland, they’ll remember

OH NO QUACKITY IS ASKING ABOUT THE ELECTIONS

Wait I JUST realized Luzu changed out of his outfit that’s such an AWESOME frickin detail. Reposting this tweet because their photo comparisons is so much better than the screenshots I took

-------------------------------------

Ok I got interrupted for a giant 2 hour meeting so I’m going to rewind and rewatch some stuff because I was too caught up writing down stuff for this liveblog, I feel like I didn’t appreciate the details enough. Going to focus more on watching this time than note taking, but I’ll pause when I have major thoughts I’d like to share

:((((

I think it’s interesting how differently they react to the dark space when they’re first transported. Quackity shouts for help, and Luzu almost seems to shrink into himself and is instantly cautious. Quackity’s loud aggressive approach vs. Luzu’s quiet analytical one

Also. Good lord. The fanart room. See this is another reason I’m rewatching because I was too busy writing notes to truly get a good look at just WHAT Sapo Peta put in there

WOW HE PUT SOME REALLY SHIPPY ONES IN THERE

awh one of the DTIYS Blisky drawings is there! Awwww

Ah Yes And Then There’s One Of Them Sleeping Together (biblically) PFTTT. Makes me wonder how often Sapo Peta browses the tag for the Newspaper / for these uhhhh events shall we say. Sapo Peta / Maxo is braver than any US Marine

It’s so cool being like :O ! I KNOW THAT ARTIST but also I wonder how they felt seeing their art in that room. If it was me I think I’d be mortified. Like, I’d definitely be flattered, but mortified

Quackity shooting at the frickin fanart of them kissing I’m screaming

I STILL DONT UNDERSTAND WHY LUZU PAUSED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LORE

WHY THE FRICK DID LUZU PULL UP FOOTBALL IM STILL  CONFUSED

oh my gosh he said “Thursday night football” in such a perfect American Football Announcer voice that just killed me

DO THEY WANT ME DEAD OR WHAT

But Luzu and Quackity are smart. I don’t think they’re going to be brainwashed like this for long. They’re too observant of the details, they can tell when something’s being withheld. And Quackity seems so suspicious, I really think he’s holding onto his instincts.

“Cerlus left because he lost the elections” LORD....

OH NO OSITO BIMBO THE BURGER

“It’s a brand not actually Osito Bimbo” GOOD SAVE

Oh my gosh I thought he ate the Osito Bimbo burger for a second, he swapped it for a cheeseburger at the last second THAT SCARED ME

WHY IS LUZU SHOOTING AT SAPO PETA

Luzu’s just listing off all the Karmaland boys he’s friends with pftt

OH??? Quackity is messaging Rubius???

I keep expecting to see Quackity splat on the ground he dies so often in Karmaland PFTT

“Maybe I don’t see you because I log on so early” PFTTT

Man Karmaland is GENUINELY so frickin pretty dude what the frick.

Quackity: Rubius says he’s on the moon Luzu: What Me: WHAT

Ok I read up on the Rubegetta lore that happened today what the FRICK. Talk about a frickin tonal shift. Rubegetta be like “ :D ! Shenanigans!” today meanwhile Luckity is HARDCORE angst

UHHHHHHHH

HE JUST SAW THE LUZU POSTER??? HUH UHH

OH THEY FOUND THE BEHEADED DUDE UHHHHHH

AND THE HENCHMEN ARE STILL THERE???

Imagine you’re living in a town that’s in the middle of a war and then the leaders of the two sides just wander into the market like “WHOA what’s all this???” wild

THE NAKED LUZU PHOTO NOOOO

“WHY DO YOU HAVE THIS” “I DON”T KNOW???”

LMFAO NOT QUACKITY ZOOMING IN ON THE ARTIST SIGNATURE, HE REALLY CALLED OUT THAT POOR ARTIST

“Quackity calm down. ....I look very sensual in that photo” IM DYING

QUACKITY I SWEAR DONT FRICKIN HIT ON RUBIUS’ DAUGHTER

This is so frickin wild I’m like. Still reeling

Meanwhile Rubius is frickin dying somewhere

The rising sun... oh I just realized Quackity no longer has the grey overlay. Things are brighter now. Luzu is outlined by the sun this time. :(

That’s way too intentional for it to be a mere coincidence

SAPO PETA... /vanish PFTT

OH NO AND QUACKITY MEETING UP WITH RUBIUS??

Lemme see what Luzu is  up to first

The colors in this are so beautiful. Even Luzu said “How beautiful” I LOVE HIM... He did SUCH a great job he’s such a fantastic actor. When he speaks, there’s such a kind light in his eye, but when he plays the evil version of his character, that light just Isn’t There it’s WILD!!! He’s such an incredible actor I’m so frickin impressed :’)

Alright back to Quackity....

Actually, if he remembers everyone BUT Luzu, will he still have the same motivation to trust Rubius? He remembers that they rely on each other now, but Quackity can’t remember why. How will that change their dynamic? The slowly blooming trust they’ve been developing?

Quackity: *banging on his front door* LET ME IN Rubius: Gimme a minute Quackity: ARE YOU HAVING SEX??? QUACKITY.........

Oh Sapo Peta is there DID HE TELL RUBIUS WHAT HE DID???? I GENUINELY DONT KNOW

YOOO SPACE SUIT RUBIUS did he actually go to the frickin moon what the frick

Quackity: Do you know someone named “Vlogs”? Rubius: ? No? Uh Oh

OH RUBIUS REALIZED HE WAS TALKING ABOUT LUZU OH NO

Oh man what will Rubius do? Will he immediately do something that will remind Quackity of the truth? Or will he say nothing?

FRICKK

Rubius: Don’t you hate Luzu? Quackity: ...Hate him? But I just met him? AGHHHHHHHHH

RUBIUS...

Rubius really do be the “gaslight gatekeep girlboss” of Karmaland. Man be like “lemme scam my bro outta some diamonds real quick”

I wonder if, on some level, Rubius is unwilling to remind Quackity fully because he knows how things will end if they remember the truth. Neither Luzu nor Quackity will be able to continue living if they try and carry out this revenge

IS RUBIUS REALLY ABOUT TO PULL A SWORD ON HIM OR IS HE JUST PLAYING

agh. the fact that he pulled out a pickaxe too. Quackity has a bad history with those

QUACKITY CALLED LUZU FOR HELP... HE JUST “met” HIM YET HE CALLED HIM FOR HELP....

Quackity blew on the horn and Rubius was like “What do you need help with??” PFTT GOSH I MISSED THEIR DUMB SHENANIGANS

LUZU RESPONDED....

The instincts they can’t seem to forget :((((

Rubius in full frickin netherite and Luzu in his Hot Evil Guy suit and tie PFTTT

RUBIUS CLAIMING TO BE HIS FIRST LADY NOT THIS AGAIN

RUBIUS???????

DID THIS GUY REALLY JUST SAY “Yeah you guys were a couple” KING...

Rubius: You don’t remember the wedding? Luzu and Quackity: WEDDING??? IM FRICKIN SCREAMING????

Luzu calling him Quacks I’m SOBBING

They’re just sitting on the couch together so casually while Rubius is making coffee TT _ TT

It’s like. It’s not even “domestic” it’s just insane

WHAT

RUBIUS JUST RANDOMLY SHOWING QUACKITY THE PHOTO OF COCHI AND BENI IN JAIL

chat frickin freaks out instantly LMAO same

Did they really just blame Vegetta for jailing his cousins AINT NO WAY

oh they’re ALL idiots my gosh

I love my stupid idiot sons

Rubius out here leading the idiot squad

THEYRE BREAKING INTO VEGETTA’S HOUSE TO LOOK FOR QUACKITY’S COUSINS AND THEIR FPS INSTANTLY TANK, PFTTT

LUZU ACCIDENTALLY KNOCKING HIM OFF VEGETTA”S HOUSE THEN INSTANTLY JUMPING AFTER HIM.... LORD

THAT’S... LOVE? IT”S SOMETHING

Gosh what a gorgeous flower garden they fell into. What the frick. How is every single thing in this series so frickin poetic

They just... casually walk by a propaganda poster like “Huh that’s weird”

GOSH I wish I understood Spanish

weeps..............................................

gosh this is so heartbreaking. They’re so different. Even erasing the anger didn’t return them to their previous selves. There’s too much hurt, too many scars on Quackity’s heart. Luzu seems fairly ok, but Quackity still seems suspicious and hurting

PFTTT He was gonna talk with Rubius but Rubius had already logged out so he just went BYEEEE and ended stream

AGH. MAN THAT WAS SO MUCH. I REALLY NEED SOME TIME TO DIGEST EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED but as much as I normally despise “amnesia” as a trope, this is actually SO up my alley because it’s not total amnesia, it’s specific, and you KNOW it’s gonna backfire. It’s so cruel and yet intended to be kind, because the alternative would’ve been death for them. It was so cruel of Sapo Peta to do this, but he doesn’t want to see them get hurt. just. agh. This is so beautifully written, I’m so excited and anxious and scared to see how it will end

STOP!!!!!!!!!!!

[sniperct]

kitchen now at 3/4ths, we're not so much packing as cleaning/throwing things out/deciding what to keep, mostly because we as of yet have no place to keep all the boxes once we do pack. But we have a 'box of pans and stuff' we don't use often but want to keep, and stuff like that that will get properly packed after the realtor comes through on tuesday.

I think the rest of our spoons for today will go to dishes that can't go into the little portable dishwasher (couple big plates, big pot, etc) we picked up on a payment plan back before everything suddenly went tits up, then we'll run the rest in that washer.

tomorrow I plan on packing up everything around my desk that isn't necessary for work/play, so most of my decorations. I also need to finish fixing steph's PC which I think should be part of that task as we clean up her desk., since this is all part of the 'get the living room in order' task for tomorrow.

Monday is mostly going to be recovery lol

for now though, dinner, and then we'll see if we have the energy to actually tackle more.

it's distressing how much work this is for what isn't really all that much stuff.

[galaxy-jessie]

Welp. My PC is pretty much unuseable at this point. Several hours of messing around only to get the bluest of the blue screens of death. Problem was caused by a windows update, of course (that, or the general issue with my ancient graphics card. Or both). I'll see to reinstall it from a usb tomorrow

Thankfully all my important data is saved on a different disk. I removed it from the pc just in case, and I'll simply reattach it once I fix everything. I only fear I'll lose the data on it when I do this 😐

Really the only important things on the corrupted drive were my saved games, but at this point I made peace with the fact they're gone. It still hurts though, because I had that little hope I might save them

Also I need to fix this asap because I need to make some stuff in excel for this wednesday

On a side note, I should really start writing my cv because I found a decent job for me.

And I simply must get a new graphics card, if anything to avoid issues like glitching squares everywhere on startup lmao

Day 15 of ADHD Vyvanse

So I've been neglecting my attempts at blogging my journey with ADHD meds and running Monster of the Week which does not bode well for the effectiveness of the treatment.

I've been avoiding writing further because the blogs I wrote got very long and rambley. Also, I still find it very difficult and just commit to doing 1 thing at a time. As I write this I'm playing a mobile game and watching youtube, so sitting down and just reading the Monster of the Week rulebook has been very difficult. I'm still filled with the same nervous, fidgetey energy that made reading a book or just watching a movie very difficult. Further more I've found that going to sleep is harder, my mind is still full of racing thoughts and connecting random ideas. I find myself remembering small tasks I had forgotten to do in the day, like adding a card to a magic deck or taking out a tool for a task to do tomorrow.

I know that meds aren't a silver bullet for all the executive dysfunction issues that I have. I knew that they could not magically fix my poor memory, but I had hoped that they would fix my ability to just do one thing at a time, like read a book, watch a movie, or play a game. I still feel like doing any one of those things is like I'm not doing enough. If I'm playing a game I feel like I'm not using my full attention and wasting my time because I could also be watching my shows or listening to a podcast/audio book and getting through all the things I want to. If I'm just watching a show or listening to a podcast/audio book then I'm not doing anything with my hands and I need to be moving in some way. Similarly with books, just staring at the page is not enough to hold my whole attention and I need to be moving or playing something as well.

On the other hand, Monster of the Week is going great. While I may only be 2/3rds of the way through the rulebook, we had our session 0 character creation session. I was worried that I had not prepped enough of the game rules to help coach the players through and I thought I should have prepped a small adventure to draw the players together, I'm glad I didn't in the end because we ended up going long.

My hunters are Emily the Spooky who has psychic powers and discovered the Stargate Program by mind reading someone and getting recruited. Isabella the Monstrous, she's a Wraith receiving periodic injections of the retrovirus to suppress her Wraith DNA and making her human, she's posing as a scientist for the SGC and being closely monitored in case her wraith powers re-assert themselves and she lets loose. Gary Jones the Mundane IT contractor for the SGC, I think this is so funny and perfect. I'm going to be making so many situations where a random IT tech needs to assist the more traditional heroes to save the world. Caroline the Flake, she's a Staff Sargent with the Air force in the SGC but she's been moved around departments so many times that no one really knows who her direct superior is nor which specific role or department she's in and she just sort of floats around and takes on whatever duties interest her. I'm so happy with this idea, there's something so Catch 22 about the situation and reminds me also of the NRD from Stargate. Any time the National Intelligence Department have to write down what agency is requisitioning something they write down NRD for No Real Department. I'll also be playing a Keeper PC of Alec Peters, call sign Flux, the Professional. I feel like the players themselves need a chaperone as they are unfamiliar with Stargate and the team also needs a character connecting and driving them all into adventure, they're al fairly new to the SGC as well and Alec has been in there for some time.

My biggest concern is fitting Emily's telepathy into the cosmology of Stargate. There are telepathic monsters in the show like the Wraith, but no humanoid ones that I can remember. She could be more evolved and closer to ascension, but I've always had a problem with the nature of Ascension in the show. Sometimes they talk about it like you have top be physically more evolved than contemporary humans but other times Ascension is a thing that people can be coached into. I prefer the latter and I think the player will too. I have a few specifics to work out with my players still about their characters and make sure they're on the same page as I am with regards to how they fit into the setting.

As for where and when my players will be entering Stargate, I had originally thought they should be part of a Forward Operating Base, similar to the Alpha or Beta sites in the Milky Way Galaxy. I really like where the show ended off for Season 10 of SGC and Season 4 for Atlantis. The Ori are still a threat even if they don't have a firm foothold in the Milky Way, there are Goa'uld factions and the Lucian Alliance are fighting for control over parts of the Galaxy. The Wraith are still a threat even if they haven't made it to the Milky Way and Atlantis flying to Earth, running out of power upsets the power balance in the Pegasus Galaxy. The Tau'ri no longer have a base to operate from in that galaxy but have allies and interests to protect. They didn't outright state that they don't have the power to fly Atlantis back to the Pegesus Galaxy but I feel like it's implied from the fact that they had to land and cloak the city instead of just re-establishing orbit. So in my head, the 3 Zero Point Modules they used to fly Atlantis to Earth and protect it from the Wraith Super-hive are completely drained and the city is now stuck on earth and cloaked just off the coast of San Francisco, which is objectively hilarious.

So I had this idea to set my games on a distant planet from Earth that's the last habitable world, closest to the void between the Milky Way and Pegasus galaxies. They would act as a re-supply point for the Tau'ri ships making the 3 week journey to Pegesus and back. they can re-supply from the planet to the ships and themselves be supplied from the Earth Stargate. I also had vague ideas about being an outpost to conduct diplomatic and educational expeditions for the newly freed planets in the galaxy. I would have liked to see what kinds of efforts the Tau'ri made to support and uplift the Jaffa and other free societies, it's important to me that Earth does not simply abandon those that it could offer some form of aid and I want to make it happen in my story.

These where all pretty loose ideas and while I had the hooks for some adventures I had no concrete details for this base or any reason my players must be there. Now that we have completed character creation I think it would be best if the Hunters where just part of the Earth SGC. Gary being an IT contractor would probably not agree to be posted off-world and while it would maybe be safer for a suppressed Wraith to not be on Earth, Earth is also the safest place to monitor and eliminate her should they lose control. The new status quo of having Atlantis on Earth sets up plenty of reasons for these individuals to be thrust into adventures together, even if they're not formalised as an SG team for some time.

I like the idea of Gary working on integrating the Atlantis database with other earth systems, Isabella playing at being a scientist without having all the memories and experiences of one as part of the retrovirus gives the subject amnesia. Emily trying not to read everyone's mind and also not being used solely for her powers to benefit the SGC. Caroline just finding something interesting to do and avoid being noticed. With Alec being somewhat onto Caroline but also assigned to be Emily and Isabella's handlers unbeknown to them and constantly having to go to for tech help because of the situations that keep coming up. Eventually I think that the SGC should recognise how well they work together and formally assign them as a SG team.

The Hook for the first adventure I've planned is for SG-9 to return from some off-world mission on a populated world that is being preached to by a Prior, but they get whammied and come back to SGC brainwashed and compelled to stealing information for the Ori and eventually sabotaging Atlantis.

I've got lots more reading to do, the thing that's I'm finding most helpful for me as I read through Monster of the Week is the advice on adventure planning. Coming up with a hook, planning out 3-4 Witnesses and Bystanders, setting up locations the adventure is likely to take place in (or just the function of those locations so if the team follows up with a trip to a minions home instead of the library the players will still get the same things from that investigation). The Countdown is especially helpful to me for plotting out goals of the baddies in a given adventure. So I can keep those things in mind for when I plan what I expect the Hunters to do and improvise with when they do anything but what I expect.

[ttvnadeeta]

so a couple things

1. there will be no VOD for what i did monday. i accidentally deleted the VOD while editing my clips.

2. speaking of clips, i have highlights on my page without titles,and that's cuz i'm hoping twitch goes back to its old ways and will allow u to clip ur highlights. when they updated their page recently u can't anymore. like yes u physically can clip ur highlight into a clip,BUT it won't have a category, even if there's a category on the highlight. it will show blank on the clip. i will leave my highlights untitled for about another 2-3 weeks. if i still can't clip them properly,i'll just re-title them,so that way u guys know what ur looking at and all that stuff. and hopefully as time goes on if they haven't already by this time,they fix the issue and all that.

3. speaking of editing,i'm srry,but my stream from last week will have to stay in 3 parts. the reason it even happened was cuz mid stream i had clicked on start stream and when u hit space it usually re-hits what was last clicked on,and i accidentally hit it. and then 2nd time it ended was cuz i accidentally hit the trackpad and it ended the stream as the cursor was there. so unfortunately, i have 3 VOD's from that day. i tried to edit them into 1 big video but my pc doesn't have the space to do so i guess. my plan was to at least post the first 2(as i was able to combine them)on twitch,so i would only have 2 VOD's instead of 3,but twitch keeps saying an error when i try. and i tried 3 times. so i'm probably just going to delete all the parts off my pc and will just have to be careful in the future and stuff.

4. there will be no stream tonight. fiance doesn't feel good and i don't feel like soloing a stream tonight. if plans stay the same,we should be doing ps/pc tomorrow though. will keep u all posted.

5. will try to get my tiktok drafts posted at some point. cuz i also cross post them here and on my other twitch socials. just between work,anime,and streaming i don't really have time to do it. i keep getting distracted,and/or busy. plan will be to get them posted within this month or next month. that's the goal anyways. cuz i also have drafts on my main page i still have yet to do. will keep u all posted with those as well.

I'm trying really hard to do less OOC because I feel like I'm doing too much of that lately (though then again, without that, I'll just end up being silent for like weeks days on end when I don't manage to write something? feels worse, really), so, let me just throw some thoughts out all into this one OOC post instead.

I love all my chars so much I much too rarely say that. Currently, that's especially Akari, Starlight, Moonshot and Lightning.

I really wish I could draw better - I feel like I just missed out on internalizing some 'logic/perspectives' part at some point and will just forever be unable to do anything other than direct front view at all. I tried to start a drawing recently, and after trying the face like twice, I gave up because it looked really really bad. Maybe starting with the face is also the wrong point to start at, but it almost always is where I start, idk.

I'm trying to get myself a pc android-emulator to use another social media (starts with i and has a camera as symbol) because for some reason the chats over there have certain forms of shared pictures or whatever not supported when you look at it from a computer, also there's more features that the pc version just doesn't have and it's really frustrating and I don't wanna use my phone for it. Also fun fact: the windows store "app" of that media is the same as if you open the website in your browser (when closing it even said something about edge iirc), none of the app features are there, it's really stupid to even have that in your store if I can just visit it in browser for the exactly same result. Wish I could just somewhere say 'just pretend I'm a tablet or sth' to the website so I wouldn't have to bother looking for a emulator. (And I already tried that mobile website view thingie, that doesn't change anything)

I feel like I'm always just, like, attaching myself to others and getting to experience things through those others, always being only, like, an attachment, some annoying little random person that simply clings too hard to that other person that brought me into thing.

I'm trying to keep up writing again, I really don't want to keep having people wait for like a month or a little more. I managed to do it 2 days in a row now, and have something prepared for tomorrow already too, so maybe I'm on a good progress here. Then again, I also kinda had more free time these last 2 days or so bc I didn't feel so well.

It's just so darn hot. Can we please be done with summer already? Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the beachy vibes and stuff for my characters and everything, but in person I just never really at all enjoy summer and I just want to stop melting.

When chats are busy, and I say something (which I rarely do) and no one seems to answer to it, I feel so very much like I'm annoying. It's obviously just a brain thing, and nothing actually true, but man I hate feeling like that. It's usually almost impossible for me to try to say the thing again to try to get someoen to answer to it another time.

I really wanna be more active around the dash again. Liking things, perhaps sending things too (if I can get myself that far) - I feel like many of the ppl I see on my dash regularly I have nothing going with and doubt myself that they're even interested anymore even when we're still mutuals, and a part of me goes "you should just unfollow, clearly they're not interested anymore", but I don't want to give up on even more blogs than I already did somewhat recently (some months ago I unfollowed some I think) and I really have to try to find another way to fix this.

I'm so glad I found a way to access the yellow text color again. It'll be so nice to be able to use that again. And yes, I know that that color still looks weird even on my theme, but that's not my fault. All the other colors when used are on the theme in "npf-class:joey" etc, but for some reason this color never is. I tried to contact support about that before to get those into classes too which would allow me to style them in my theme (I'm doing it with some colors, if you see posts on my theme you see what I mean) so they're better readable, but they didn't understand what I meant and I can't explain it properly. Now that I looked at it again, it seems they fixed it for one of the colors - I think it used to be both red and yellow having that problem, now it looks like red styled properly - so maybe it's just not getting fixed bc they removed yellow from being an available color in the editor. Oh well.

Okay, that's all I can think of for now. Sorry for the long thing.

As it's looking now, tomorrow should be the last stream for Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores. I'm actually gonna have to look at my backlog of recent games I've collected to choose my next game, it's been a while since I didn't know what I'd be playing next! And as much as I'd love to start Baldur's Gate 3, I'm holding off until I upgrade my PC and also the PS5 version drops (because PC players get a free upgrade to Deluxe)... and also the next few patches, because I've heard they have some big fixes/enhancements coming up. Still excited for it though!

[mondaybear21]

ummm I dunno if I should say this but I think Twitter is probably safe now due to face that the rate limit/tweet view limit/self ddos/whatever it is is probably fixed, people migrated to other sites, or something else; I just use Twitter more on pc so it is more surprising that I am not using the thing more on mobile

I am saying this because it isn’t on trending now (which is a very bad sign to say if something died or not) but tomorrow I should use Twitter on my phone more regularly now.

Also also gn tumblr

I FIXED IT!!!! IT WORKED!!! I took the power supply unit of the old PC we had in the storage room (bless my sister for suggesting that) and hooked it into mine.

It was easier than expected despite the complications. The cables of the old PSU weren‘t long enough so after I put it in the old way I was like „ha! It works! But only half the PC has power“ so I had to ask my brother (who works in IT btw) about cable lengths and stuff and then figured I’ll just leave the PSU on the outside for one day as I express ordered the new PSU for tomorrow.

But like I’m insanely proud of myself. I did it once more without any tutorials only logical thinking! This also makes me very optimistic for managing the future upgrades more by myself.

The old PSU makes a horrible sad noise when it has to power DATV (which is probably what killed my prior PSU) but it‘ll hold for 24h hopefully. I‘m optimistic. The new PSU will have higher voltage so it should work even with upgrades

Anyway look at the chaos 😂

I promise when I put in the new PSU I’m going to do proper cable management

I think the power supply of my PC just died. On the day where I could have played more Dragon Age. Now to the electronics store in town hoping they sell them

[in-this-light-on-this-evening]

Can you believe 🧸 had the audacity to come at my desk after a team meeting with our new supervisor and bitch about how I shouldn't have said what I said????????????

Truth hurts, huh. Fucking deal with it and don't be a damn lunatic all the time.

fluffyyyyy

❥ summary : y/n, bored out of their mind, finds tommy’s vlog camera and decides to record a small clip of them and tommy messing around.

❥ A/N : i return from the dead with another fluffy tommy fic. enjoy :D

❥ warnings : not proof read, kissing (is that a warning idk) 

masterlist

I am so very fucking bored. The 6-word sentence that I've been thinking about since I’ve been laying on Tommy’s bed for the past 15 minutes. It was a weekend, I’ve just spent the entire day hanging out with my friends, so I was quite well spent. Tommy, my boyfriend, has been editing away on his laptop, eyes fixed on his 3 monitors as he worked on his latest vlog. 

Exasperated, I sat up and scanned Tommy’s bedroom. Finally, my eyes landed on a camera on his nightstand. But not just any camera, it was his vlog camera. I remembered that Tommy was in the middle of recording his ‘A Week In The Life Of Tom Simons’ vlog. A devilish grin spread across my face as I reached out to get the camera. Once it was within my hold, I stood up and placed it on the bookshelf next to his bed. I pressed the recording button and sat back on the bed before speaking to the camera. 

“Hello, chat! Tommy’s been editing for the past two hours and leaving me to die,” I jokingly said as my hand reached out to shift the camera so that Tommy would get in the shot. I giggled as I saw Tommy shoot me an unimpressed look, sighing before standing up from his chair. I stood up from the bed, placing my hands on my hips as I watched Tommy slowly approach me through the camera display screen. 

My eyes widened a little as I watched Tommy stood behind me, his height towering over me and wrapping his arms around my shoulders. He pulled me back towards him, resting his chin on the top of my head. I grinned as I waved at the camera and Tommy pressed a light peck on my hair. I felt myself turn a bit red as I looked up at him, turning an even deeper shade of red as he placed another peck on my nose. 

“For the record, I didn’t leave them to die, chat. I just said that I’ll be editing and you can come over if you want to!” He exclaimed, defending himself. We shared a laugh as Tommy reached over towards the shelf and turned off the camera. Once as Tommy turned back around, I wrapped my arms around his waist and buried my face in his hoodie. I felt his hand come up to caress my hair as we stayed there for a moment. 

“It’s getting late, do you wanna go to bed?” Tommy asked me after a beat of silence. He watched as I nodded, and he grasped my hand and led me to sit on the bed. I smiled softly as Tommy leaned his head down to place a soft, gentle kiss on my lips. I laid back down on the bed, pulled the covers up to my chin and watched as he made his way back to his desk. 

“You’re not sleeping?” I asked him. He glanced at me before looking back towards his monitors. He shook his head. 

“Nah, later. I just need to finish up this part then I’ll head to bed. You should sleep first, you look really exhausted,” He said. I pursed my lips, a little displeased that Tommy would be working again till the late hours of the night. 

“You look tired too, Tommy,” I answered. “You can continue it tomorrow and still get it done on time. I don’t want you overworking yourself, and also it’s a bloody weekend!” I exclaimed, spreading my arms out in exaggeration. I smiled a little as I saw him laugh at my antics. He finally caved, shutting off his PC and made his way back towards the bed. I grinned widely and patted to the space next to me, letting Tommy lay down next to me.  I switched off the lights and tugged the covers up once again.

“Goodnight Tommy,” I whispered.

“Goodnight Y/N,” Tommy whispered back.
