#also the UI makes me want to fucking scream

[ashmcgivern]

I’m playing BG3 and sat in character creator for a few hours and made a couple different choices… I eventually settled on my tief sona. Which I don’t often play self inserts in games but there’s a first time for everything.

However.

A buddy of mine who played it a lot in early access told me that the guardian is intended to be ~sexy~ which, while I’m not sure whether or not it’s just him being the way he is, sparked an idea in my acespec brain.

I DONT KNOW WHAT IT MEANS YET BUT. BEHOLD. MY CLONE.

MAJOR RUIN SPOILERS

On my first play through I noticed some very mean words from the UI. And no, I’m not talking about Helpi. Under the objectives in the pause menu. I have seen no one talk about this and no documentation of it at all. So I went on a quest while getting all collectibles and the last ending I needed to document every single ui pause menu objective. And I ended up having my heart broken because of it

These will be put into mini compilations to help ease the photo limitations but I am almost 100% sure I have every single objective text documented.

Here are the ones that pop up before you have the mask.

Now compare that to your first message with the mask available.

THIS IS THE FIRST WITH MASK MESSAGE. LOOK AT THE DIFFERENCE IN TONE. ITS DOWNRIGHT MEAN.

Here is the compilation of the mean things said to you in this manner.

The fazer blast one is during the prototype Freddy chase. And during the music man vent chase. It knows you are in danger and does not care.

There’s also a lot

And I mean A L O T

of messages wanting to use your mask.

The context to the bottom one? A camera puzzle where you are required to wear the mask.

There are also a lot of messages that don’t seem to make sense to be from Cassie.

More context: you know where Gregory is before you even get the mask. The camera distraction during that message suddenly changes to Gregory. During the gator gondola message, why would Cassie ever reference herself in the second person? During the dead end message, Cassie fully screams out that she is stuck, with only Helpi telling her she isn’t. During the daycare attendant message, you are about to use the cameras to find anomalies with the mask on for the first time. The hurry message displays while you are already trying to get to Gregory, why the sudden urgency? With the halfway message, we don’t even know we are halfway done until Helpi states so. Why would Cassie refer to herself in the second person to compliment herself on a mask she can’t even see how it looks on her face at the time?

Then comes the section of the game where the messages become downright brutal. Roxy. Reading the messages at this point made this scene so much worse, and actually drove me to TEARS.

It is aware that it’s Cassie’s birthday, aware of Cassie’s relationship with Roxy, and even tries to invalidate Cassie’s feelings to make her keep moving forward.

Then comes the messages on the way down.

That last quote persists after you find the mimic. That’s the last message you receive. The mimic was manipulating us right from the start.

These little details add a whole new fucked up layer to the game, as you aren’t even safe from the mimic in the pause menu. It’s always there. The game was rigged from the start.

The Metaphor: Re Fantazio hype train isn’t quite chugging at full speed yet, so I thought I might share some of my theories regarding the plot: Specifically: who is the *real* villain? The Big Bad? The final boss? I can identify a few candidates, who I’ll list in order of increasing likelihood (in my opinion).

1. Louis - This is the obvious one. Too obvious, methinks. I honestly think this guy is going to turn out to be an anti-villain/hero in the end. We’re probably still going to have a big climactic battle with him (bonus points if he has an archetype), but it won’t be the final battle. I predict that he will be defeated, die staring into the Protagonist’s eyes as they realize they weren’t so different after all, and then...the Prince’s curse doesn’t wear off. Uh-oh. We did exactly what another bad guy wanted us to do. Fuck. Who is that nefarious villain, you ask? Read on...

2. More - I’m not sure I trust this guy. We know he’s a prisoner in Akademia. For what? Writing a book that the powers that be didn’t like? Maybe. Or perhaps there’s another reason that he’s not telling us? I dunno. I might just be having P5 flashbacks. (They wouldn’t pull that twist AGAIN, would they?)

3. Forden - This is the “other bad guy” I was talking about. The game seems to be setting him and Louis up as foils and rivals for the throne, and while we’re being led to believe that the latter is the more dangerous/evil one, I don’t buy it. I seriously wonder if Louis is really the one responsible for the Prince’s curse. We see the masked figure cast the spell, but how do we know it’s Louis? If Forden wants the throne himself, he would have just as much reason to want the King’s only heir dead. As the leader of the Sanctist Church, he’s already seen as a de facto leader, and he starts the election in the #1 position anyway. He probably wouldn’t have killed the King with his own hands like Louis did, but as a Rhoag (with their long lifespans), he could afford to play the waiting game once the Prince was out of the picture. I’m rambling now, but you get the picture. This guy is potentially just as villainous as Louis, if not more so.

4. Hythlodaeus V aka the late King aka the Big Giant Floating Head of Doom - Yes, I’m serious. I mean, just look at him/it! That thing is just screaming Final Boss. Hell, it could be a final dungeon in itself, like Sin in Final Fantasy X. It’s present in the battle UI from the moment it appears. Why? Because it’s watching you. It’s watching *everyone*. In-game they mention a “royal magic” that only the King can wield, which isn’t described in detail but is said to be a deterrent to invasion. That sounds pretty damn powerful, whether it’s defensive or offensive in nature. It sort of seems like it has a will of its own, activating after the King’s death right in the middle of his funeral. The election “seems” a tad fishy to me too. Sure, it seems progressive for a high fantasy setting, but consider this: What if the purpose of the election isn’t necessarily to find a new ruler for the kingdom, but for finding the royal magic a new *host*?

Honorable Mention: “Scheming Man” - As shown in the latest preview, this character appears in the beginning, breaking the fourth wall to ask the player for their name. So...what exactly are they scheming, anyway? If they can perceive our world, then they could easily know some things that no one else in-universe does. That already makes them more dangerous, potentially. There’s also the possibility that it’s someone we know already. It could be More; I need to listen to their voices again. If it is More, then he belongs at the top of the potential villain list. If not, then he stays where he already is. This is why this entry is off to the side. I don’t know if he’s somebody we’ve seen or not.

In any case, I’ve talked enough. I can’t wait until next month, when all of my predictions get proven completely and utterly wrong. I’m honestly hoping for some kind of mind-bending twist at the end of the second act, but only time will tell.

[unsettlingcreature]

RIGHT OK SO thoughts. i have them.

MINRATHOUS. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. MINRATHOUS!!!!

It's beautiful. I want to see more of Minrathous and Tevinter in general, I am SO excited for the environments and buildings and- (muffled screaming).

Also Minrathous? Do you know who else might be in Minrathous? 🥺🥺🥺 i'm sorry i just want to see dorian again. But also, I hope we'll see Maevaris too! So badly!

edit: actually, I realised what the started segment where you run through the city with demons Fucking Shit up reminds me of! The scene in Origins where you are running across the bridge to get to the beacon at the battle of Ostagar! Having to ignore the carnage around you as you push forwards because the end goal is ultimately more important...

I love that we get a background for our Rook that seems to actually come up outside of the rare dialogue option. And speaking of dialogue, I like that we're keeping the dialogue wheel with contextual icons! I'm not a massive fan of the UI but it's by no means bad.

As they walked through the streets of Minrathous, I was for some reason reminded of Assassin's Creed. But once combat began, I was reminded of Shadow of Mordor...? I think it was the switching between blade and bow.

I can already tell that the combat is not really my thing. I'll cope. I'll suffer through it. I will say that it looks very fluid and makes me hope that we'll get a similar flow of combat (for rogues at least) similar to DA2 (which I think has the best dual-wielding combat of the three games imo). I'll probably still pick a mage for my first playthrough but rogues are tempting me.

The warning lines for ranged attacks is... interesting! I've seen something similar in a few games and it'll definitely make dodging a lot easier to figure out timings, even if I personally hate dodge-heavy combat. Again, I'll cope.

The music... oh my god, it's beautiful. As they approached the ritual site, you could hear the same motifs that were present in the Tresspasser's soundtrack (specifically Dark Solas Theme) (I go feral whenever I hear those strings btw). Very excited by the music, even the song that was present for the countdown before it started was beautiful!

Some of the dialogue was a bit... quippy. It was way better than the character reveal though. For the most part, it felt fine but then now and then I'd pull a face at a cheesy line or the odd sentence that felt stilted to me.

I didn't realise Neve was an amputee! I love the stylised prosthetic. I definitely need to get around to reading the comics.

The new direction with demons is interesting. They seem to be going more wraith-like, with even the pride demon no longer have legs and just kind of floating. The fiery dog-like are what I assume are meant to be rage demons? I actually love them, far more than the weird blobby things we've seen in past games.

The facial expressions are very good. Definitely not having the same issue as ME:A. Honestly, the animation in general is brilliant. I enjoyed watching Rook dart about during combat and his movement was very fun.

Whenever the pride demon teleported away just as Rook went to strike, I kept thinking "nah that would piss me off so much".

Seeing Varric approach Solas, I was like haha wow, imagine if they killed off Varric really early on in the game. I don't think Bioware would but it did genuinely put me on edge for a moment. Destroying Bianca though... Nah, somehow that's worse. Where's he going to get another one? :(

Also, hi Venatori! You're still around after ten years? Fucking hell, you'd think they'd have given up considering Corypheus was dunked on over a decade ago. Learn to take the L.

Finally, that shout from Solas as the ritual was disrupted... I think it's the angriest I've heard him, at least put against how he was in Inquisition. Also are we going to talk about the purple eyes? I think I'd like to talk about the purple eyes. Solas could get it. WHAAAAAT WHO SAID THATTTTT, THAT'S WILDDDDDDD...

February 2023 Forecast

I am writing this with my back and neck in horrible pain. Worse way to start your morning is to get up, stretch, and then pull something. I feel bed ridden.

"T, are you done with your break?" No idea. Define break. My brain is slowly coming back to me so good news is I'm not quitting lmfao. My brain almost had me in the first half ... and most of the second. When I do return though, I'm implementing a new writing process called "write what I want to fucking write when I want to fucking write it."

"T, did you need to add all those expletives?" No. But you know how a lot of folks be like 'as I get older I'm going to curse less?' I'm the opposite. I curse more. It makes me feel all tingly inside.

Alright, welcome to the second best month, purely because it's my birthday month, that's literally it. You know I share this month with both my brother and my father, plus my parents and my brother's anniversaries. Like, the shortest month is basically the busiest for my family in terms of celebrations. Why did they do this? I don't know, no one uses sense in this family besides me.

MOVING ON! Bout to enter into a All My Woes episode.

Superstition S3

Still on break. Do not ask me when it's coming back. Because I'm going to do what I should've done (and what you guys thought I do already) and actually write a good bit of it. I'll probably put up a poll asking if you guys want to keep the bi-weekly schedule or if I just update it as the episodes are complete.

Throne of Ashes

Working on updating the demo with Makaio's finished demo and some bug fixes for the other routes. Nour is next and Ozara will be following them on that upload schedule.

Insight

Because unlike its cousin, For the Crown, Insight is not 100% dead, it's more like on life support. But I'll be updating it with the new UI that I have to bring it in line with the others. Also an additional chapter will be added so now the demo will end at Ch5.

Future T here. I've already updated it with the new UI and the first bug fix. A bigger one is coming so still, if you find any bugs, hold off on sending them in. Bug reports make me depressed and you guys don't want to see that, right? RIGHT?!

Horizon: Sea of Stars

Per my "do what ya want" lifestyle, yes, Tierra has done it again. She has said fuck it to common sense and those two friends out of ten that said don't do it, and she went and made a new project. I blame eight friends who inspire me in the most negative ways because I never blame myself. Never blame yourselves, you're never toxic, it's those around you. (That's a lie, do not quote me. My god.)

This is a scif-fi project (because I needed to have the holy trinity of the best genres out there to make myself feel complete (jokes on me I still feel empty)). The MC is like Phoenix MC in some ways where this is not exactly 100% self-insert friendly, there are a few traits included and mindsets that you as the reader can't change. 6 romances, 2 males, 2 females, and 2 nonbinary. 5 of the 6 are aliens. And art is on it's way with two of the characters already done. I have art of the alien species as well because I know how difficult it can be to picture an alien based off of descriptions alone. They will be included in story to further help.

This is me just telling you guys, I'll post all of the info of the book itself with the demo like I normally do. Especially when I figure out where I want the demo to stop at. It's still pretty much in alpha mode with only one chapter done and even that is still seeing edits.

Also if any of you have got this far and know an artist or you are someone who can do really nice colorful covers and are good with backgrounds then tell me because I'm still searching for a cover artist.

. . .

There is also now a Light Mode on some stories. If it's not there then it's being worked on. Don't look at Superstition, it's not there.

Alright, I think that's it. I'm going to go lie down and scream at the heavens about my neck.

Future T again. My neck is better but if I look over my shoulder it's like "naw girl, stop that."

Denial: Chapter 4

Pairing: Mei Mei x (Fem Sorcerer!)OC: Himura Kutsuki

Key: Italics = Thought, Bold/Italics = Thought (but out loud), Indent/Bold = Text Messages, +*+ = Skip, ~~~ = Memory

Ruin My Life - Zara Larsson

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

You slammed yourself into a thick tree trunk, finally ending your Clock Up: Speed of Light technique. You wheeze out for air as you try to gently adjust yourself to sit against the branch. Your big scar had long clotted and dried up.

“Ow...” You heavily groan, the adrenaline from Clock Up: Speed of Light wearing down

You begin heaving... The adrenaline disappearing itself from your body. You let out a painful scream as the pain began shooting itself from both your arm and your side.

You pull out your phone, hoping that it wasn’t crushed; it wasn’t. 

You put your phone back into your pocket and with the vision you had- wait.

It hit you, you went over the 1 hour max time when you used Foresight on both Mei Mei and the Special Grade Curse. However, you do remember disabling Foresight when you got Mei Mei and Ui Ui out of Shibuya station but lost track of them not too long after. 

You see the outline of a house.

You weren’t fully blind. Your vision was like how a child loses their perfect 20/20 vision; everything was blurry. But add a moderate amount of light that won’t go away. You search every single pocket you had for your eye drops, You sigh in relief as you find them, but wincing in pain when you add two drops to each eye. 

“Oh holy fuck ow...” You groan

You gently knock on the door of the cabin however, the door begins opening when you knocked on it. 

“Hello? Is anyone home?” You call out

No response. 

Hmm... Wouldn’t hurt if I stayed here...

You practically crawl your way up the stairs to the bathroom to shower off the dirt and grime off of your body and tend to your wounds properly. Once reaching the bathroom, you immediately peel off your Jujutsu Sorcerer outfit down to the shorts you wear underneath the wide pants. You switch on the shower, allowing it to heat itself up as you begin looking at yourself in the mirror; observing the damage done on your body.

“Damnit...” You groan

You wince in pain as you catch yourself on a railing in the shower, feeling the soreness in your legs from Clock Up: Speed of Light. You gently seat yourself onto the shower floor as the hot water trickles down your damaged body. While the hot water was wasting itself on you, you begin crying.

Mei left me... Left me to die.... I should've known.... This is what we get for falling in love with the wrong people...

*Mei Mei’s POV* You open your eyes to see yourself in a luxurious room. Almost immediately you searched around for Himura.

"Where did you take us?" You ask her younger brother, "And where's Himura?!”

"Kutsuki was too fast for me to take her with us," He explains

"She's injured, I need to know if she's even alive," you begin to panic

"She's now the strongest sorcerer, she'll be fine," Ui Ui attempts to calm his sister down

"Ui Ui, you don't understand..." You continue to freak out

“I’m sure she’ll come find you when she wants to,” He says, “But, I wouldn’t expect her to if I were you.” 

You sigh as you slouch into bed.

+*+

*Y/n’s POV* You remove your bandages to check on how well they were healing; they were nothing but silver scars now. However, it was difficult to simply use your right arm.You didn’t know how deep the graze was.

“That graze was enough to fucking make my arm immobile,” You exaggerate

Though you were still able to move it, it was very limited. Your vision had fully healed thanks to do eyedrops you were able to salvage. You began doing at-home physical therapy so that you could continue using your technique and to keep your body active.

+*+

Over the course of who knows how long, Mei Mei had been thinking about you; Whether you were alive or not or if you’re barely on the verge of being alive. She was also thinking about what Pusedo-Geto had taunted to you about before you fought the dragon cursed spirit.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I always knew you were hard crushing on Mei," Geto states, "But I never thought it would go on for this long.”

"You don't know me, whatever you are," You say

But it was clear that he did. Whatever held Geto's dead body, you knew that he had his memories.. 

"You've been in denial about still crushing on her," He continues 

"I'm not," You try to hide the fact that he was right 

"Lets test that theory then, shall we?” A sly smile swiping across his face.

What?..

In a split second, something shoots right beside your face. By instinct your body clocks up. However, wasn't fast enough to get both you and Mei Mei out of harms way. However, you only took a graze to your right bicep.

"Himura!" Mei Mei's screams echoed throughout the station as the both of you fall to the ground

You groan out in pain as crimson red seeped through your shirt.

“See?...” He smiles, “You really do still harbor feelings for Mei Mei. Because I know you.”

“You don’t know a rat’s ass about me!” You spit at him, turning onto your stomach, letting go of Mei Mei

“Just simply give up,” He continues to taunt, “Wouldn’t want to have your little girlfriend watch your death.”

“She isn’t my girlfriend...” You growl

“Be in denial about it all you want, but I can see right through you when it comes to Mei Mei,” He says

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mei Mei was confused... Why was pseudo-Geto spewing stuff that was clearly something that you never wanted to be revealed... She wanted to get the truth out of you... One point, you wanted nothing to do with her, willing to go on another date to being in denial about being in love with her... The other, you’re kind and genuine to her.

“I’m going to find you Himura...” Mei Mei whispers to herself

She gets up from the bed and puts on clothing.

“Ui Ui, I’m going away,” She says

“Where are you going?” He asks

“To find Himura,” She bluntly tells him, “I don't care that you don’t like her, but I love her. I need to find out what her deal is... Don’t follow me.”

Before Ui Ui could protest to her, she’s already gone.

+*+

You didn't really know how long you needed the rest but you got word that all of Japan and its sorcerers are in a Culling Game. You never thought it was possible for that to happen but it did. Even if you were able to go back, you wouldn't have the guts to kill anyone. You place your mug into the sink after having some soothing tea. However, when you look up, from the other side of the window pane: A Crow.

A crow?... That could only mean..

You stop whatever through your mind was experiencing and run to the front door. You swing it wide open...

“Mei...” You say, a smile beginning to creep on your face

She left you to die remember?....

Your smile drops almost immedaitely.

“Tell me the truth Himura,” Mei Mei says, pushing herself through your front door, “Are you still in love with me?”

“What?...” You ask, backing up into the table

She's really bringing this up now?

“If you really didn’t seem in love with me, you wouldn’t have saved me,” Mei Mei says, closing in on you

Mei nestles her leg between your legs, placing her palms against your lower abdomen

“I only saved your ass so that you could live,” You sigh, practically growling at her touch, clearly lying

You gently push her hands off of your lower torso, beginning to walk into the kitchen. Mei Mei follows behind you.

“But you used Foresight on me,” Mei Mei adds

“Your point is?” You ask

“One point you’re all genuine with me, nearly on the brink of death to save my ass and the next you don’t want anything to do with me,” Mei Mei tells you, “Tell me the damn truth.”

She wasn’t wrong. About you still harboring feelings for her. However, you were quite stubborn. You didn’t want to give her any taste of satisfaction of her being right. You were also scared of being hurt all over again. Mei Mei still loves money, that was obvious. 

What could be different now compared to then?

“Himura,” Mei Mei calls out to you

You turn to her, not realizing that you were silent.

“I’m sorry...” She finally lets her serious self fall

“You should be,” You say

“You still haven’t answered my question though,” Mei Mei says, “Why do you continue to pull me in but then push me away the next? Why are you so afraid of getting close to me?”

“Because I don't want to get hurt again,” You confess, “I saw myself falling for you again but-”

“Ha! I knew you still had feelings for me!” Mei Mei absolutely disregards what you said

“Mei!” You yell

“Okay Okay,” Mei Mei calms down, “I don’t expect you to forgive me for hurting you.”

“I don’t,” You say, "You also left me to fucking die Mei..."

"That was my dumbass brother deciding to not take you along," She groans in frustatration, "He knows how close we're beginning to be. He doesn't ‘want to lose me’, so he didn't teleport you to where we were."

You sigh in frustration. You turn to face the sink, sinking your palms at the edge of the counter before it met the sink, trying to figure out what to tell her next. You were so in thought until you felt her press herself against your back. 

“Give in... Give in to yourself wanting me,” Mei Mei finally says, her fingers lingering along your torso, “We’re both here...”

“How will I know that you just simply won’t ignore me after this? How will I know that you're not using this opportunity for money?” You ask

“I wouldn’t be here in the first place. If I wasn’t in love with you too... Rich or not,” She moans against the shell of your ear

That was enough for you to lose your internal fight.

*Mei Mei’s POV* You watch her as she turns around and closes in on you, pinning you to the edge of the table. She shoves her thigh between your legs, prompting you to hopping onto the tabletop.

“Himura-”

Before you could ask what had gotten into her, Himura’s��lips crash onto yours. You felt her hands travel down your back to your butt, giving it a firm squeeze before exploring your thighs. Your mouth opens to let out a gasp but Himura captures it with her mouth. You forgot that her hands were trailing down to the back of your knee, she lifts it to her waistline, wrapping it around. 

"Himura,” You moan

Your legs intertwine with one another at the ankles, and holding the back of Himura’s neck by her hair, you yank her body right on top of yours; fitting like puzzle pieces. pulling Himura’s crotch to sit right against yours. 

Her hands tucked underneath your back, making your back arch into her abs.

“Take me to bed,” You pull your lips away, panting

She chuckles as she lifts her weight off of you but her hands never left. She takes a step back as she pulls you with her motion, prompting you to sit up. Her hand trails to cup your ass as again, your bodies mold perfectly together. Your legs wrap around her midsection whilst your arms held Himura by her neck. 

“Tell me now,” She says, sitting at the edge of the bed with you in your lap, “What was it exactly that went about in that head of yours?”

“To see what you look like without those clothes covering this... body of yours,” You begin, your fingernails gliding across her torso, “To feel your muscles wrapping around me, what those hands could do... To me... Especially leave a mark on those back muscles.... My mark. Only mine.”

“Quite the fantasy... Mei...” She answers back, “I might just charge you this time.”

“Let’s see how good you are then,” You tell her, boldly

It was an honest joke. You knew that. She knew that. Neither of you cared enough to elaborate. Either way, the both of you were there: in each other’s presence. You in Himura’s grasp as she was in yours.

“I couldn’t stop thinking about you when I saw you flexing your muscles during the goodwill event,” You confess, “Oh how badly I wanted to touch them, feel them around me... I'm starting to think you were intentionally flexing to turn me on.”

“Hmmm, so what if I was?” She asks, smirking

“You quite embarrassed me then,” You say, biting your bottom lip

Himura bites her lip as well, matching your gesture.

I want to bite that lip so bad...

Himura’s hot breath trailed upward against your neck.

"So what?” She whispers, chuckling

Her breath ticking the shell of your ear.

“You embarrassed me all those years ago,” She recalls your final year of being a Jujutsu High student, “I’m just simply getting back at you. More... Privately...”

A mixture of a moan and a gasp escapes your lips as the tip of her tongue slowly, painstakingly flows down from the side of your neck, to the front, down to your collarbone, hovering over the initial curve of your breast. 

Everything was on fire...

Your head was reeling...

Your legs... Quivering.

You grabbed onto Himura’s shoulders to keep you from falling onto the hardwood floor; nearly digging your nails into her flesh.

God, you really do work out...

“I didn’t do it only to hone my cursed technique,” She confesses

You look down at her, seeing how much more built she was than you. Yet, you’re the one who wields an axe.

Did I really just say that out loud?... Of course she works out...

Your body shivers when you hear a low, raspy feminine chuckle close to your ear. Himura’s hand raises to the back of your neck neck as she pushes your head down as your lips mold perfectly together. Her hand subtly moved to find the zipper to the back of your dress; slowly unzipping it whilst the tips of her fingers gently trace your spine.

“Himura,” You shiver

You stand from her lap as you let your dress fall from your shoulders to your ankles; revealing black lace lingerie. 

*Y/N’s POV* Looked too luxurious for you to tear it off of her curvy body.

Either way though...

It excited you in many ungodly ways...

God she is going to ruin me...

*Mei Mei’s POV* “I want you in every way I can have you,” You confess, sitting yourself back into her lap, “If you’ll have me that is...”

“Oh don’t worry Mei,” She whispers

She shifts her body weight to make herself feel more comfortable; brushing your thigh: spreading your leg out even further.

“You’ll get to live all of your little fantasies of me,” She smirks

However, there was barely any movement from either of her hands. Albeit one hand was pressed against your back to hold you steady in her lap but the other... Was hesitant. 

One hand on her shoulder, steadying yourself, the other gently takes her wrist; her palm facing you, gently having it pressed against your stomach. 

“Make me feel good,” You demand, gently

She moves her hand, slightly.

“Mmm,” You immediately let out a moan

*Y/n’s POV* It was barely any movement...

But, you smirked...

Getting her riled up by barely touching her was going to be an easy win.

*Mei Mei’s POV* Another slight hand movement...

The moan comes out just like before: almost immediately. 

“Enough teasing,” You say, with a little more ‘oomph’ in your tone

Both of your hands weave themselves through her burette-red ombre locks as you slam your lips into hers. Nibbling at the chance, you gently bite her bottom lip, gently pulling on it as you pull your lips away. Himura leans towards you as knab at her bottom lip.

“Ooh, playing dirty,” She growls, a devilish smirk swiping across her face

She lifts herself off of the bed and slams your back into the cushion-y sheets. You watch her grab the edge of her shirt, lifting it over her head and discarding it somewhere onto the floor, following her sports bra. 

“Finally,” You run your fingers up her bare chest, firmly grasping her breast

They weren’t notoriously big compared to yours but still showed somewhat of volume to them. 

She smiles into a growl as she leans down, pressing her firm body against your soft, smooth one, catching your lips in a kiss. You catch your breath when Himura began to move down to your neck, collarbone... Finally; your breasts. But, was unfortunately still covered by your bra.

“I think it’s about time these come off yeah?” She asks

You viciously nod as you attempt to reach for the back of your bra to unlatch it however, one hand pins your hands above your head whilst the other snakes between your back and the bed, flicking apart the latch with a single hand. 

Her head dips down to grab your bra by her teeth. As she lifts the bra off of your chest, she lets go of your hands as you helps her hoist your arms through and out of the straps. Himura tosses her head over to the side, throwing your bra over her shoulder; landing to who knows where on the floor. 

Her hands snake up your stomach and clamp down on the soft-cushion-y breasts.

“Your hands...” You moan

They were the exact opposite of what yours felt like; lanky, soft and clear of any imperfections. Compared to hers; bulkier, nearly dry to the touch and imperfect skin texture.

“What about them?” She asks

“They feel so good,” You continue to be a smiling, moaning mess, "They're so coarse..."

Your head tilts back into the bed when a shot of pleasure shoots up your spine. The pain and pleasure sending tingles throughout your body. When you look Himura in her vibrant green eyes; they disappear...

“Shit!” You yelp

You could hear her chuckling to herself as she gently runs the tip of her tongue on your nipple. You throw your head back and it goes into her mouth. You bite your lip to suppress a moan when you felt her teeth tug at your hardening nipple.

"Ah!” You choke

You watch Himura do a number on your breasts as your hand takes hers by the wrist, guiding it down to touch your dripping core. Your hand travels back up her arm but stops to dig its nails into her bicep; feeling the palm of her middle finger tease the inside of your folds, barely scraping your entrance. 

"Stop teasing me Himura,” You demand

"Just going to make sure you feel hot and heavy,” She smiles

Her finger trails up from your inner folds; to finding your heaving bud in an instant. 

Your fingernails dig deeper into her bicep; pretty sure you broke her skin at that point. 

“Himura...” You shudder at her circling finger

Your head was reeling again... Well, when did it stop reeling?

“Himura...” You try to call out to her

“Yes Mei?” She asks 

“Finger me,” You beg

“Hmm...” She sighs

She presses her finger against your core; making you yelp.

“Wouldn’t you want to feel something... That isn’t my finger?” She asks

*Y/n’s POV* Mei Mei caught on to what you wanted.

“I-I...” Mei Mei attempts to gather words to create a sentence

She was only able to muster a nod together. 

You smile as you make your way down her body, teasing her endlessly with your breath, tongue and lips. Then finally, reaching her oozing core. You gently grab her by the thighs and hoist them over your shoulders, but never broke the eye contact.

"Then lay back and let me do the work," You say, looking up at her from between her thighs

She nods as she watches you curl your fingers around the thin cloth hanging on her wide hipline. It looked way too thin to even be considered a thong.

Are these even panties at this point?

You didn't question it as they were already off of her lower half. Her pussy already glistened with the cum that was already oozing out of her.

"I really make you that wet huh?" You chuckle

You turn your head and take in the nude sight that was Mei Mei.

She's so beautiful....

You run your lips across the inner part of her thighs as you slowly close the distance between your mouth and her dripping wet core You take a small lick and look up at her, a small whimper leaves her mouth.

"You're nervous," Mei Mei looks down at you

She could tell by your nervous look. She reaches down and caresses your cheek.

"Do you understand how much and how long I've wanted this... Wanted you?" You ask, your fingers running along her soft thighs, "But... Now that were here... Doing this... Now I don’t know what to do all of a sudden... Consider what you like, dislike, how you like this or that-"

"Himura," Mei Mei makes you stop talking

You felt the soft palm hold your cheek, looking up at her.

"Don't consider what I like," She says, "Finally seeing you between my legs is already what I like. Anything you want to do to me, do it."

Your eyes shift down to her continuing dripping wet sex before taking the slow dive in. 

You run your tongue along her folds, feeling her body twitch.

"Himura," Mei Mei moans your name immediately.

You take her clit into your mouth and give it a nice suck. She tosses her head back as she runs her fingers into your hair, tugging at your strands of hair. Your mouth pulls on her and let it go with a loud ‘pop’. Your tongue begins slowing messing around with the inside of her folds.

“Yeah,” Mei moans, “Just like that Himura... Nice and slo-AH!”

You slowly insert your tongue into her. You could feel her rocking her hips so that you move rhythmically to her movements. Your arm curls under her though as she allows it to rest against your shoulders. Your palm presses against her stomach, pinning her lower half down against the bed.

“No moving Mei,” You drag out your tongue to tell her

*Mei Mei’s POV* You nod as you don't break eye contact with her. 

You cover your mouth, feeling similar to the aftermath of the goodwill event months ago. As your gaze switches from the ceiling to Himura, she catches your gaze. Her green eyes glowing from the sunset. Your back arches off of the bed as you get off just by eye contact. 

“I want to hear you Mei Mei,” She confesses, “I want to know what you sound like, what you taste like... To let me know Im doing.a good job.”

“Oh baby, you’re doing perfect,” You smile, brushing the back of her cheek with your fingertips

Her eyes light up. Not the kind of ‘lighting up’ when she initiates Foresight. But, of pleasure: her eyes dilated. Her green eyes disappear once again. 

“Oh my god...” You sigh

Epilogue

[emi-chak]

Quickly before I forget and pass out asleep.

I dreamed there was a special fight where you could control Raphael, and ofc he considers himself a snowflake special enough to have a whole ass different UI when you select him. Sensibly the same, mind, but most of the assets were disposed differently (I should probably try to recreate it) and I think there was one additional small window for His Own Fight Log to separate himself from the others because Yes his own voice matters to him and he Wants you the Player to Pay Attention, I remember being so angry while taking screenshots to post them on Twitter, and writing "OFC HE HAS A DIFFERENT UI THIS SLUT"

And the voicelines. Fuck. The voicelines when you select him or touched some of his spells and passives (also the description were explained by himself, stuff like "*I* will do this and that, etc." yknow), they were driving me insane enough to make me go "SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP" almost all of them made me feel like I was either getting sexually harassed or kinkshamed, sometimes both.

And I was so angry, fuck. He Knows this is hype, He Knows he feels powerful to play, He Knows you need him right now even though that was a player choice. But cmon. I fucking would agree to whatever bulshit he wants my character to go through if that means I can have my hands on him (i mean what? No you didnt read that SHUT UP) and I was sitting in front of my screen like "How DARE He. him and his perpetually flaccid dick"

I can't remember all of his lines, but they where very telling of how I feel toward this goddamn character

"Can't get enough, can't you? 😏"

"You touched it. Now you'll  have  to  wait." (BRO)

*insert some of his stupid theatrical bullshit that I can't remember because this was a fucking dream*

"Bloody damn bred." (WHAT THE FUCK WAS MY BRAIN COOKING WITH THIS ONE)

*something about his dick being Not Flaccid*

*some small laughing(???)* (Was my cursor tickling him, or...? Oh no. I'm so fucked. No, fuck, that's cute. NO!!! ID RATHER WANT TO BE MOCKINGLY LAUGHED AT!!!!! AUUGGH!!!)

Anyway.

As I'm writing this, more memories of this particular part of my dream are fading. I guess I couldn't get lucid enough to take the reins of it because it switched to my usual dreams. There was a section where I had to hide under some stairs, a ghost pursuing me, glitching objects I desperately tried to stack in front of me, being told that I needed to do something I can't remember, and so on, can't remember much at this point.

I thought the Raphael part of my dream was so real. I thought I really tweeted those screenshots. I was so sure I was screaming in both my best friend's and boyfriend's dms on discord. Imagine my disappointment right now. Imagine my relief, too, because fuck no I don't want to feel more than simple amusement whenever he appears on screen.

That would be Hells.

premise: vidcon pannels and meeting fans can be tiering, and maybe by the time the day is done you and all of your crushes collapse into bed together without realizing until the next morning  ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

“Blep” talking

(y/n/n)- your nickname

(y/s/n)- your screen name

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

Ah vidcon, a content creators dream, or worse nightmare, or in your opinion, wild trip that lasted three days.

~~

It was your first time seeing anyone from the Dream SMP in a while, and your were practically buzzing with excitement by the time you were getting off the plane in California.

You fiddled with your carry on as you made your way towards baggage claim, grinning upon hearing a yell of “Oh my god is that (Y/n) from the internet!?”

You turned to see Alex standing just outside the gate he’d landed at, quickly you ran to hug him, stomach filling with butterflies at his touch. “Wait it’s Alex from the internet!”

You both laughed as you pulled away, starting back to baggage claim, “Are you excited for vidcon?” He asked.

“Yeah, what I’m not excited for is having to share a house with you idiot for a weekend.”

He scoffed, “What do you mean? It’s gonna be fun!”

“Oh yeah, the entire SMP together in one house, is such a good idea. It’s gonna be chaos!”

“That’s the fun part!”

“I like to sleep at night without being interrupted by random screaming and stuff.”  You argued.

“I’m sure there won’t be random screaming.”

“You seriously underestimate Tommy.” By now you had made it to baggage claim and began to look around for the right carousel.

You split up, planning on meeting back by the door to wait outside for Bad, who had arrived the day before and was picking people up, a few at a time.

After waiting at one carousel for a few minutes your suitcase came rolling out, but as you went to grab it someone else grabbed it from behind you, a familiar voice drawling, “Hey, hey.”

Grinning you turned to see Nick smiling back at you, “Hey yourself.”

He hugged you, and again your stomach filled with butterflies.

Pull away you smiled, “Come on, I think I left Alex just over there.”

Grabbing your suitcase in one hand, and his hand in the other you tugged him off toward where you’d left Alex, calling, “Alex look who I found!” as soon as he was in view.

Nick dropped your hand to grab Alex’s to pull him into a hug, and you found yourself fighting a grin at how red Alex's face turned.

“Bad texted me that he’s almost here!” You announced after checking your phone.

“Who else is he picking up?” Nick asked.

“Uhhh,” You pulled the messages back up, “Karl and Fundy, and then Wilbur is supposed to be getting another rental car and driving the rest of the Europeans when they get here, minus George cause apparently he also flew out early.”

You all headed out towards the pick up area, weaving through the crowds of people you felt Nick grab the back of your shirt, and when you looked back at him in question he muttered, “So I don’t lose you Idiot.”

All you could do was hope your face was clear of any blush as you smiled back.

You all ended up stood near the curb when a voice cut through the chatter, “Hey gu-uys!”

“Karl!” The three of you exclaimed as he ran through the crowd towards you.

Upon reaching you he some how managed to get his arms around all of you enough for a group hug, and you laughed, “Shouldn’t you be at the other gate?”

“Yeah, but I thought I saw you guys so I came over here, and I was right!”

Alex cocked an eyebrow, “What if it wasn’t us?”

“uhhh, I dunno, awkwardly ran at random people?”

You all laughed, and Nick scoffed, “You’re ridiculous.”

After a few more minutes of waiting, a car slowed near the curb, Fundy’s head practically falling from passenger window, “I’m looking for some youtubers, dumb American ones, you seen any?”

Bad smacked him, “they aren’t dumb, hey guys!”

You waved at them as the guys started loading their suitcases into the back of the car, and after Karl insisted he take yours as well, you slid into the back seat, “What’s the house situation like?”

“It looks like just about everyone will get there own room,” Bad reported, “But Tommy, Tubbo, Ranboo and Purpled are sharing the room with the bunk beds, because Clay designated it as the kids room.”

You snickered as Alex climbed into the back next to you, leaving Nick and Karl to take the spots in the middle row of the van.

“And obviously cause Kristen’s coming she and Phil are sharing, and then Eret said he, Puffy, and Niki would take the room with the double beds,” Fundy offered, “Which means the rest of us should get single rooms.”  

Alex elbowed you, “Told you wouldn’t get stuck with random screaming.” 

“Oh there's still time for that.”

~~

After getting to the airbnb and racing Fundy for one of the bigger rooms that was left (it was decided Phil and Kristen would get the master bedroom, and Clay had already claimed the biggest guest bedroom), you dropped your suitcase in one corner and brought your toiletries bag in the shared bathroom between your and Nick’s rooms, before flopping back onto your bed. 

No more than three minutes passed before Karl wandered into your room, flopping down next to you, “Ranboo and Sam are making nachos, and Dream and Nick found a foosball table in the garage, so a mini tournament is being organized if you want in.” 

“Foosball?” You questioned. 

“Yeah, it’s gonna be fun.” 

You allowed him to tug you up, and followed him down from the left hall of bedrooms, through the living room and to the connected garage where George was yelling over everyone to try and form teams. 

“Me and (Y/n) are a team!” Nick announced, grabbing your hand to pull you towards him. 

“Okay, that leaves Big Q and Karl as the last team for now! When other people show up they can join.” George announced. 

The rest of the day passed in a blur of foosball games, nacho’s nearly being spilled everywhere and the rest of the people arriving. 

~~

The next day was the first day of vidcon, and after getting dressed in some casual clothes you grabbed your laptop and headed out to the living room, mostly empty in the quiet house, with the exception of Tubbo, who was flipping through tv channels, and Phil, who was tinkering around in the kitchen. 

“So what’s your plan for the day?” Tubbo asked, finally having settled on a baking show. 

“Uhh, stress about the panel until it’s time for the panel, hang out, maybe find a pizza place, you?” 

“Me and Tommy are just gonna wander the convention center most of today cause I don’t have anything until the meet and greet tomorrow, then when he has to go I think me, Ranboo and Fundy might be going to mess with dream george and sapnap during the dream team panel. What’s you first panel about?” 

You glanced back down at your laptop, “It’s listed as ‘small creators with a big part’” 

From the kitchen you heard Phil chuckle.

“Oh cool.” Tubbo smiled, turning back to his show. 

You looked back down at your laptop, reading over the possible sample questions and discussion topics, you wanted to be mentally prepared for this.

At some point, as the rest of the house began to stir Alex shuffled out from the hallway and plopped down in between you and Tubbo on the couch, throwing his legs up in your lap.

“Good morning.”

He groaned, “Why is it so early?”

“It isn’t,” you laughed, flicking at his forehead, “Your just jet lagged.”

“Is there coffee here?”

As if on cue Nick, who had come over from the kitchen, offered him a mug, “Phil made a big ass pot of it.”

“Oh thank fuck!” He took the cup greatfully.

Nick smiled, handing you the other mug before going back for his own as Karl flounced into the room and plopped down on the other couch, “Good morning!” 

“Morning Karl!” You smiled. 

“oooo, are we watching cake wars?” He asked excitedly. 

Tubbo nodded and launched into an explanation of what had happened so far in the episode. 

Eventually everyone woke up and was gathered around in the living room and kitchen, drinking coffee and tea as they planned for the day. 

“Well if most of us have different things planned why don’t we just plan to meet back up here before dinner?” Niki suggested. 

A half asleep Wilbur nodded, “Sounds like a good idea.”

Techno snickered at his grogginess, elbowing him lightly, “I guess the first panel really will be sleepy boys inc.” 

If Wilbur had been fully awake he probably would’ve elbowed him back, but instead just muttered, “Shut up.” 

“Okay! So we meet back here for six yeah?” Bad asked. 

Everyone nodded, and disappeared back to their various places around the house to get ready. 

Back in your room you put your laptop away and got the last of your things ready for the panel, even though it wasn’t starting for a few hours.

“(Y/n)! Your panel’s at 12 right?” Nick half yelled through the open bathroom doors. 

“Yeah?”

“Okay cool, do you wanna come with me, Alex and Karl? Apparently Jimmy and all them just got in.” 

“Sure.”

You had talked to the famed, ‘Mr. Beast’, a few times, and had even been in one or two of his gaming videos, so before you knew it Alex was stealing the keys to one of the rental cars and you were off. 

“Yeah we just left the airbnb.” Karl, said into his phone. There was a pause before he said, “Oof, I’m glad I came out early then.” Another pause and then he laughed, “Nimrods. We can stop for food if you want?” 

A few minutes later he ended the call, leaning up between the front seats, “The gang requires food, we’re taking a pit stop to taco bell.” 

“Taco bell? At 9 in the morning?” Alex questioned. 

“Yeah apparently the nimrods forgot to get food before they left the airport, and now their stuck in traffic. We’re gonna meet them at the hotel.” 

You chuckled, “Sounds like a Jimmy move. Let me guess, they forgot because none of them slept and they took a red eye?” 

“What the fuck is a red eye?” 

You looked back at Nick, incredulous, “You don’t know what a red eye is? Oh my god you privileged fool!” 

Alex snorted, “It’s a really early flight Nick. Like, a you get to the airport for 11pm, and end up eating breakfast when you get to the other airport, flight.”

“Or, a get to the airport for anytime between 11pm and 4am and regret your life choices while waiting for your plane.” You offered. 

“In other words, hell.” Alex finished, pulling into a drive thru. 

“Yikes, why would anyone do that?” Nick asked. 

“It’s cheap.” Karl said. 

“Planes are less crowded, so are the airports.” Alex added. 

You smiled, “I do it for the feeling of a lineal space. There's no vibes like airports from 11pm to 4am.”

They all laughed, and Karl quickly unrolled his window to order an ungodly amount of food. 

~~

Unsurprisingly,  after that the day passed in a blur, the panel going pretty well, and then the impromptu meet and greet outside the meeting hall, trying to make it through the convention center with Clay and Nick without being mobbed, and then suddenly everyone was back at the airbnb getting ready for dinner. 

“(y/n) you bitch why are you taking so long in there!” Tommy yelled through the bathroom door. 

“I’m trying to fix my hair from when you threw water at me prick! There's five other bathrooms in this house go find another one!” You yelled back. 

Distantly you could hear Bad yell, “Language!” 

“Everyone is in the other bathrooms!” 

Giving up on your hair you set the brush back down and recapped the container of paste, turning and opening the door to your room, “Alright, fine.” 

“That wasn’t that hard was it?” Tommy asked, moving past you into the bathroom. 

“Don’t touch my stuff.” You instructed, striding out of the room and down the hall. 

Out in the living room Eret was humming as they cleaned up the last of the later Tommy had gotten everywhere as the rest of the group started to assemble. 

Once everyone was finally ready, and the final arguments of who would take which car, you were shoved into the back of one of the vans with Karl and Alex, making all of the anxiety that had dissipated after the panel came flooding back, especially when Nick, who was sitting on the bench seat in front of you, turned to join the conversation. 

The night was spent trying to keep blush off your face whenever Karl’s knuckles brushed yours, when Nick’s arm found it’s way around the back of your chair, or when your and Alex’s knees bumped. 

‘God’, you had thought, ‘this is like some romcom shit.’ 

After Tommy’s fail attempt to steal a set of car keys and try and drive home  -Phil smacked him upside the head, Niki snatched the keys from his hand, Kristen started to lecture him, all while the rest of you laughed your asses off- The bill was paid, and everyone piled back up into the cars, already starting to plan a movie night. 

Upon getting back to the airbnb, you headed back to your room to change back into the hoodie and comfortable pants you had been wearing earlier, heading back into the living room in time to steal Punz’s seat on the couch with Nick and Karl. 

When Alex squeezed into the spot between you and Nick, you could’ve sworn you saw Techno smirking and Puffy waggling her eyebrows toward you, how they found out about your stupid group crush you had no clue, but then Clay and Skeppy started to argue over what movie to put on. 

Tubbo ended up taking the remote from Clay, and from where he was sitting In front of one of the couches, tossed it over to Phil on the other side of the room, who said, “We’ll do a vote then!” 

A movie was selected democratically, some cheesy action movie began to play, and at some point you half turned, propping your legs up across the boys laps as Alex maintained a running commentary on the movie, just loud enough for you and Nick to hear, and Karl absently traced small shapes into your ankles. 

~~

The second day of vidcon was the most hectic, with you, Nick and Alex were going to watch the Mr. Beast panel Karl got to be a part of, plus both the dream smp panel and the meet and greet later in the day. 

You had woken up to Karl and Alex jumping on top of you, “Wake up! You’re gonna be late!” 

You groaned, struggling to shove them off, “What time is it?” 

“8:27.” Alex said, sliding off your bed. 

“Fuck,” You muttered, “Get off me, what the hell happened to my alarm?” 

“You left your phone in the other room, when it went off it woke us up.” Karl explained. 

“He means it woke him up and he felt the need to wake me up,” Alex complained as you sat up now free of the people laying on you, “Why the hell is your alarm set so early?” 

“It’s not early, I just wanted to be able to get ready without being in anyone’s way.” 

Karl nodded, “Makes sense.”

“C’mon, let’s give them time to get ready.” Alex grabbed Karl’s arm, half dragging him out of the room.

You quickly got ready, pulling on a nicer button down, plus a jacket that was one of the first from your new merch line.

You finished your hair, plugged in your phone and headed out to the kitchen where Fundy seemed to be attempting to make pancakes, dragging Karl into the process as well.

You sat down next to Alex and Ranboo, “How long do you think until they burn the house down?”

“I am not going to burn the house!” Fundy exclaimed.

You reached over and turned down the heat on the griddle, “Well you were gonna burn something.”

Ranboo snickered, “They aren’t wrong.”

“Shut up Ranboob!” Fundy retorted.

They continued to bicker as Tubbo emerged from up stairs, shoving Fundy out of the way to take over the griddle. “You’re all ridiculous.” He muttered.

“Yeah no shit.” You sighed.

“Language!” Bad yelled from the dining room.

“French!” Eret called back as she entered the kitchen, “Morning guys!”

“Morning!” Tuboo chirped, starting to flip some of the pancakes. 

“It’s panel day!” Tommy yelled, charging down the stairs, “Those best be chocolate chip Tubbo!” 

Karl held up the bag of chocolate chips he been scattering into some of the pancakes, and Tommy grinned, “Karl my man!” 

~~

Once breakfast was eaten and the dishes cleared everyone loaded back up into the cars to head to the convention center, everyone splitting up again, planning to meet back in the right area in time for the full panel. 

Karl headed off to meat with Jimmy and the guys as You Alex and Nick took spots in the audience. 

Once they took to the stage Nick leaned over and elbowed Alex, “Bet you 10 bucks when they open for questions you don’t go up just to flirt with Karl.” 

Alex glared at him, “10 bucks isn’t worth it.” 

You held back a laugh, “I’d throw in another 20.” 

Alex considered this with a sigh, “Deal, but only if we get milkshakes later.” 

You and Nick agreed, and soon enough when they opened up for audience questions Alex started to stand up, but immediately sat back down blushing slightly, “No.” 

“Damn.” Nick sighed. “We’re still getting milkshakes.” 

Once the Mr. Beast panel had ended you all went to meet up with Karl and head off to the dream smp panel. 

2 o'clock rolled around and the panel moderator began to announce everyone, one by one, and you managed to force down your anxiety, taking your place on the stage between Karl and Nick when the mod called, “(y/s/n), one of the first people to actually join the dream smp.” 

You sat down, smiling at the audience and quickly sneaking out your phone to take a quick video of your friends and then a pan of the crowd to put on twitter later.

Once everyone was on stage the moderator looked up and down the long table, “Wow, there are a lot of people on stage right now, is this everyone from the server?” 

Clay nodded, “Just about, we have a few others, Alyssa, Callahan, Ponk and Antfrost, who had other stuff going on, but for the most part, this is everyone from the server.” 

“This is honestly incredible, how, how are you guys all feeling about being here? I know this is the first Dream SMP panel, but you guys have been to vidcon before right?” 

“Most of us,” George laughed, “I think the only one who hasn’t is (y/s/n), there first ever panel was yesterday.” 

The mod looked over at you, “So, how does it feel to be at your first vidcon?” 

You laughed nervously, “Well, I mean, I’ve been to vid con before, but I was always out there in the audience, it’s- it’s pretty nerve wracking to be up here.” 

The topic shifted and after that things seemed to move more quickly. 

In the blink of an eye the first hour and a half was spent and people from the audience began to ask questions. 

“Wilbur, as the main writer for roleplaying on the server is it hard to keep track of character specifics and story arcs or is it all just written in with the scripts?”

Someone asked.Wilbur hummed, “Well I guess in part it’s written in the scripts, but I think I should turn this question over to (y/s/n), they’ll have a more interesting answer.”

Everyone turned to you. 

“Well, in my mind it isn’t all that hard, but I am literally the kid who memorized long monologues for fun.” You chuckled, “Once the first revolution arc started and the server really started to turn to roleplaying I started a google doc that now gets updated constantly. I have running tabs on current arcs, details on arcs that have ended and then there's detailed character descriptions. 

“I don’t necessarily write down bits to add while I’m streaming or anything, but most of the time it has to be the middle of the night or I won’t file anything correctly.”

Nick chuckled, “I have seen the document, it is terrifying.” 

“Didn’t someone open it to see you updating in the middle of the night once?” Ranboo asked. 

Alex nodded, “Yeah that was me, it was very traumatic, like, I blinked, and then there was another fifty words on the page.” 

You dropped your head in your hands, “It was the night after the whole election thing! Techno joined the server and then I had to add a whole ‘nother character profile, and he and his stupid English major were making things complicated!” 

“Listen man, I just wanted to make sure I had a backstory that fit into the story line, ‘s not my fault when Wilbur lets Dream have partial control of thing the storyline ends up non cohesive.” 

People laughed, and the topic was changed with the next question.

~~

Two and a half hours later, an extra hour after the panel was supposed to end, (there was just so many extra questions), you headed off stage, and were all rushed across the center for the meet and greet, which had been pushed back in time with the panel.

You felt bad for making the fans wait, but the organizers assured you that it was fine, most of the fans had been at the panel anyway.

In the big open hall the orginizors spilt everyone up into groups of threes and fours, the way fans could move down the line and see everyone.

Inevitably you ended up with Karl, Nick and Alex, at the end of the long sections of people.

“Holy shit man, how is it already 6?” Alex asked.

“Who knows.” Nick muttered glancing down at his phone.

“Dude this is supposed to go for like three hours too.” You complained, rocking up on your heals to look down the line, seeing the first groups of people starting to move past Tommy, Tubbo and Fundy.

“We’ll be fine! It’s always fun to meet fans!” Karl said, though he did look slightly wary.

After another three hours of talking to fans, signing things, and taking pictures the last group of people finally made it to your section.

“Hey! They saved the coolest for last!” The boy exclaimed.

“Hell yeah they did!” Alex half yelled back, some how still managing to keep up the enthusiasm.

“Here, let’s get you guys all in a picture together!” His mother said, motioning for you to all stand together. You slung an arm around the kids shoulder, smiling at the camera. “

“Okay serious question time, which one of us is the best?”

“Uhh,” the boy looked from person to person, “probably you (y/s/n), your contents really cool but your under rated.”

You grinned, offering him a fist bump, “ha! See that’s the third person in the last hour!”

Karl scoffed, “but I got like six people over all.”

“I only got five.” Alex pouted.

You rolled your eyes as the boy asked, “So if you guys are in a poly relationship on the server does it create problems with your friendship in real life?”

You all froze, except for Nick who somehow seemed to know this was coming, “Well, in game and out of game relationships are different, sure you can ship all you want, but that doesn’t mean stuff actually happens in real life.”

The kid nodded, “Cool, hey I saw your stream like, during quesrentine, just a question, how many people have tried to fight you today?”

You laughed, “at least 15 took pictures with him squared up.”

A few minutes more and the kid was gone, being ushered away by his mom, and you glanced at your phone, “holy shit it’s already 9:15.”

“Where did the time go?” Kale asked incredulous.

~~

After meeting back up with the rest of the group you all headed off to terrorize a McDonald’s, drawing a lot of attention from random fans as you all scarfed down food.

By the time you got back to the Airbnb it was nearly 11pm and everyone was exhausted.

After quickly getting ready for bed you a collapsed.

~~

The next morning you woke up, and for a moment worth your eyes still closed you were perfectly content with the warmth pressed agasint you.

Then you came fully too, realizing that, no, you weren’t fully swaddled in your comforter, you were laying in a bed with other people.

Opening your eyes you blinked away sleep, looking down, confused to see Alex asleep with his head on your chest.

Turning your head you saw that it was Nick on your other side an arm wrapped around you both.

Karl was half sprawled across all of you, similarly to the airport, as if he could hold all of you at once. You sat in shock for several moments before realizing you were in fact, trapped in bed.

Alex’s fingers were tangled with yours, Nicks nose was pressed into your neck, and you could have sworn Karl shifted in his sleep, as if to get closer to you.

‘Well,’ you thought, ‘might as well make the most of it.’ As settled back down to fall back asleep.

~~

Once you had all woke again, no one spoke as they headed back to there own rooms, and your crossed back through the bathroom form Nicks.

~~

The rest of the day past, still no one speaking about it, and that night you found yourself laying in your own bed, wondering why it felt so wrong.

There was muffled whispers from Nicks room, and you quietly got up, moving into the bathroom to hear better.

Unfortunately for you Nicks door to the bathroom was still open, so you couldn’t eavesdrop as planned.

Karl and Alex were both sat on the bed next to each other as Nick paced. “What’s going on?” You asked quietly

“Would- would it be weird if we cuddled again?” Alex asked hesitantly.

“We were debating asking you.” Karl admitted.

Nick nodded, “You don’t have to, it’s just- we-“

Quietly you crossed the room, climbing into the bed instead of answering the question outright.

~~

“Is- I- am I stupid, or is this something?” Alex whispered.

Vidcon had ended and even with the long weekend everyone was staying in California the time had gone all to fast.

You, Alex, Karl and Nick had continued to cuddle every night, still not talking about it during the day.

“Do you think it could be?” Was your only response, continuing to card your fingers through Karl’s hair.

“It seems like it already is.” Nick said.

Karl yawned, “I think I’d like it to be.You nodded,

“me too.”

“Me too.” Nick agreed.

Alex smiled, “I guess it’s decided then.”

The dark room was quiet another moment before you snickered, “It’s cannon irl now guys. What will the fans think?”

[utt-er-nons-ense]

If you have a Tumblr and you're on it a lot like I am, I really highly suggest joining the same fandom on reddit. I have 10 reasons.

1. They're 2 sides of the same horrific political echo chamber. While Tumblr and twitter are screaming and crying about the producer possibly using a homophobic slur in 1956, reddit is screaming and crying because a minor side character is bi and they simply cannot relate anymore :(. Both platforms firmly believe that ALL movies, tv, books, magazines, comics, blogs, posts, tweets, and news providers should be sanitized until they churn out pure propaganda; they just disagree on what the propaganda should promote. (They also both pretend it's only propaganda if they don't agree with it.)

2. You might forget cishet people exist. To remind yourself, so that it's not jarring when you rejoin the real world, you can find all the cishet people in America on reddit. They have straight ships. They do not see the subtext. They think you're nuts for saying Sherlock Holmes and John Watson are together. I promise you that you need this slap in the face occasionally.

3. Reddit lets you show tiddie.

4. Tumblr praises and criticizes media based on how progressive it is. Reddit praises and criticizes media for like, everything else under the sun. If one platform HATES your favorite show, the other one probably loves it.

5. With really divisive tv shows like always sunny, you'll get to see 2 totally different plot breakdowns. It's like watching the show twice. Once "Tumblr style", with lots of ships, subtext, longing, pining, fanfiction, fan art, and slowed-down 3 second gifs that make every scene look romantic and sexy. Tumblr style fandom is intense, emotional, and deeply connected to the underdog characters. Then you can watch it again "reddit style", with pages of analysis on writing styles, acting styles, line delivery, and the items in the background, but no mention of The Way Those Two Looked At Each Other™.

6. When your normie work friends ask you what you thought of something, you can give them the normie answer. (Hint: there are 0 normie opinions on Tumblr. They're all bonkers in funking yonkers, I promise. If they seem normal to you please talk to a well-adjusted adult who supports themselves in the real world)

7. It is SO FUN to dump all of tumblr's hcs on your "reddit friends". I dare you to find a friend who uses reddit and then tell them about the absurd amount of gay porn for star trek. Tell them there's gay subtext in every episode of Merlin. Show them jack and ianto making out shirtless in the lab if they're a doctor who reddit friend. Remind them that Dennis had a m/m/m threesome in the pilot episode. Point out the 45x johnlock's close friends assumed they were together. Rant about whatever tf happened in supernatural with the gay angel. Every time one of my reddit friends (republicans if I'm not being clear enough here) recommends a show to me I immediately tell them how gay and GNC his faves are. This is a very fun game that will alienate everyone that you really don't want as a friend anyway.

8. Reddit also has a horrible UI and the messiest code I've ever seen, a poorly-functioning mobile app that crashes constantly, and community guidelines that are fuzzy at best. Anyone from Tumblr should be perfectly comfy there.

9. Entire fandoms dry up on Tumblr after someone involved does something unprogressive. You'll find the remaining fans on reddit because reddit doesn't give a fuck about progressivism.

10. And lastly... Because a LOT of bloggers on this hellsite need to learn that the culture here isn't the culture of the world. It's NOT pedophilic to like a post written by someone younger than you, and it's NOT sketchy not to have all your personal information in your bio. No one cares about your carrd/pinned/DNI, no one is going to read a terms and conditions document to find out if they're allowed to follow you. The rest of the world doesn't hold insane beliefs like "all harry potter fans are fascists". No one is going to tw food, alcohol, swearing, smoking, or thin bodies. And before you go "I know it's not like this irl but -", You're wrong, you DO think the real world is like this and I see it all the time. I see y'all out here being Karens about the nonsensical expectations that you developed here. I see you harassing actors for stuff their characters did! Do not do that! The cure for Tumblr psychosis is to get OUT of the feedback loop and read another opinion once in awhile.

Once a Leader, Always a Leader

Fan Fiction: Sweet Home Netflix

Chapter 6 - TRUST ME

Hyun-Su was now with Jung Ui-Myeong who was using Pyeon Sang-Wook's body about over two weeks.

What Ui-Myeong was telling Hyun-Su kind of made sense. They are evolved monster that can be superior to plain humans and that's why humans want them dead. However, Hyun-Su couldn't get on board with all the killing. At least the killing humans part.

"Look, we can spend a night here," Ui-Myeong said, looking around the dark lobby, "and then continue. I heard that in North Korea it's roaming with monsters. We should head there and look for people like us."

Hyun-Su didn't answer and leaned against the reception's desk. Did he really want to go with this man?

"How do you know about North Korea?" he finally asked.

"Oh, that's simple. I overheard it when the army was doing tests on me. No human dares to go there now, they just left it deserted."

"Hm."

"What's with you? You are the future! Stop making that sad face."

"I am not sad."

"What are you then?"

Hyun-Su watched the hole in front of him where probably used to be an entrance door before. It made him sick that Ui-Myeong used Pyeon Sang-Wook's body as a puppet. People shouldn't be treated like that.

"You said that Pyeon Sang-Wook was dead when you took over his body?" Hyun-Su changed the topic.

"We went over this... He was barely conscious... he would've died anyways."

"Hm," Hyun-Su glanced at Ui-Myeong and then looked back at the hole in the wall. However, this time, he had to blink a few times to be sure he wasn't dreaming.

"Lee Eun-Hyuk?" he whispered at the sight of the young man and behind him, Eun-Yu, Ji-Su, Hye-In and even the children.

"Hyun-Su!" Eun-Yu cried out at the sight of him and wanted to go to him but her brother's arm stopped her.

"Wait," he said quietly and approached Ui-Myeong, looking him in the eyes.

"What do you want?" Ui-Myeong said annoyed and watched the young man in front of him.

"You should get out of him, he doesn't want you in there," Eun-Hyuk said and with a quick movement, laid his fingers on Ui-Myeong's temples.

"The fuck you think you are doing?" Ui-Myeong bursted out and thursted a thorn out of his body, piercing Eun-Hyuk through.

"No!" Hyun-Su, Eun-Yu and Ji-Su screamed out unianimously while Hye-In hugged the children so they wouldn't see what's happening.

"Get. Out," Eun-Hyuk commanded through his teeth, feeling a small stream of blood flowing from the mouth down his chin. Ui-Myeong's eyes rolled back and he shrieked in pain but quickly breathed in and gave Eun-Hyuk a smug look.

"Then I'll just take you," Ui-Meyong's voice was distorted and made Yeong-Su burst in tears. Then, the thorn stuck in Eun-Hyuk's core turned into a bloody-looking goo that made its way inside of Eun-Hyuk.

Sang-Wook collapsed on the floor with a thud. Eun-Hyuk immediately threw out a boutiful amount of blood and fell to his knees, feeling the strange presence in his body, trying to take over somehow.

"Fucking fight that bastard!" Eun-Yu run to her brother, standing by his side in uncertainity. "Why would you go off with such a crazy asshole?!" she glanced at Hyun-Su who watched the scene with an open mouth.

"I... I-" he tried to create some words but the amount of blood that came from Eun-Hyuk was the only thing he could've focused on.

"He's killing him don't you see that?!" Eun-Yu screamed at Hyun-Su in tears.

"What's happening?" suddenly Sang-Wook's confused voice popped into all the chaos. His eyes fell on Eun-Hyuk who was grunting in pain, punching the floor as he resisted Ui-Meyong.

Calm down. You have the upper hand. He caged himself in your body. You can crush him, Eun-Hyuk thought and took a deep breath in which was followed by the monstrous scream that make the whole lobby shake and the mirrors shatter. Hyun-Su fell down next to Sang-Wook who seemed to have pure terror in eyes that have turned its color to pitch black. Hyun-Su laid his head on his knees and covered his ears with his palms, trembling.

Even the humans were somehow frozen on the spot, enduring the eartearing holler barely.

Finally, it was over. Eun-Hyuk clumsily stood up, his body changing into the 2,5 m (8,2 ft) creature.

"Fuck," Eun-Hyuk swore, feeling an instant relief from that previous pain and tension. His eyes flew over the room, noticing how his scream impacted the others.

"Uhm, good call with the clothes," he tried to chuckle but that only reminded him of the drying blood in his mouth. The sweatpants were now a bit tighter as well as the T-Shirt, but nothing besides the hole from the thorn ripped.

"Hah, yeah," Ji-Su reacted with a weak voice and slowly sat down on the cold floor. Eun-Hyuk looked at Eun-Yu who had wrapped her arms around her and stared into the floor.

"Damn," Eun-Hyuk sighed and turned around to face Hyun-Su and Sang-Wook who were still stuck in the same positions as before. Eun-Hyuk approached them and sat down on his haunches.

"Hey," he said softly and put his hand, raising their heads to look at him, "look at me."

They obeyed but it didn't seem that they did so voluntarily.

"Listen," he said as he cuppped their cheeks, "you're safe now, okay? I am not going to hurt you."

Hyun-Su's eyes turned back to his human irises and a stream of tears started flowing down his face. He was now able to take in who was sitting in front of him.

"Eun-Hyuk?" he whimpered.

"Yeah," Eun-Hyuk said calmly and glanced back at Sang-Wook who seemed to have gotten out of the shock as well and laid his hand on Eun-Hyuk's.

"Are you alright?" Eun-Hyuk asked and put his hands down.

"What the fuck was that?" Sang-Wook said shortly.

"You're a monster, too?" Hyun-Su asked quietly, noticing the lack of hole in Eun-Hyuk's chest. He only nodded and let himself turn back to his human form.

Yeong-Su and Su-Yeong suddenly hurried to Hyun-Su and fell into his arms.

"We missed you!" Su-Yeong exclaimed.

"Oh, I missed you, too," Hyun-Su said sadly.

"What happened to the asshole?" Eun-Yu wondered and looked at the hole in the T-shirt where underneath was only a human chest covered in blood but with no wound.

"I did the same like with the others," Eun-Hyuk answered.

"What does that mean?" Sang-Wook asked wearily as he rose to his feet.

"He eats monsters," Hye-In explained from behind.

"You do what?" Hyun-Su asked, his eyes wide.

"He's superior to monsters. He can destroy them by eating them! And apparently, he's superior to evolved ones, too," Ji-Su said.

"Will you eat me?" Hyun-Su asked quietly, looking down at his hands. He knew that after his monstrous side finally got out, he temporarily forgot what had happened, but it slowly came back to him in small shards. And what he remembered wasn't anything good. He was closed in a secluded room and he always obeyed Eun-Hyuk's orders until that one day when Hyun-Su said that he won't be bossed around anymore. Could that backfire now?

Eun-Hyuk closed in to Hyun-Su which made him flinch away. The children were holding Hyun-Su tightly as if defending him against Eun-Hyuk. But Eun-Hyuk only placed his hand on Hyun-Su's hair.

"Don't be ridiculous. Why would I do that?" Eun-Hyuk said.

"I... I defied you. And went with Ui-Meyong."

"So what. You had no obligations to me."

Hyun-Su looked up, noticing that Eun-Hyuk's face that always carried an expressionless mask was now filled with compassion.

Eun-Hyuk didn't know, though, that after the scream affected the other monsters would let him enter their minds if he touched them. And so accidently, he saw flashes of Hyun-Su's broken memories - the bullying, the hopelessness after his family died, the suicidal thoughts.

Eun-Hyuk's eyes slowly became glassy so he put his hand down and looked away.

"Let's be a team, hm?" Eun-Hyuk suggested, blinking away his tears and looking back at that broken boy in front of him. Hyun-Su raised his head, his lips parted a bit as he was thinking of an answer.

"A team?" Sang-Wook answered instead.

"Yeah," Eun-Hyuk said, looking at Sang-Wook, "we have s few humans around that need protecting. I am not sure if they haven't turned just because they didn't properly get into contact with this... infection. Or if they are simply immune to it. Be it as it may... You two also need to figure out how it works. We can't get random uncontrolled transformations."

"So, you know how to control yours?" Ji-Su asked.

"Hopefully... At least for now it seems clearer to me," he said and raised his hand to let everyone see it change into the clawed form and then return to normal, "but I can't make any promises. I guess if a moment comes that I'd be uncertain of my sanity or anything... I have to tell you right away so we can plan accordingly... and if necessary... get rid of me."

"What?" Eun-Yu rose her voice.

"How would we get rid of you? You just received an enormous injury and now you look as if nothing happened," Hye-In noted.

"That's true... that could be a problem," Eun-Hyuk admitted.

"Can we please not talk about killing you and focus on survival?" Eun-Yu said annoyed and furrowed her brows at her brother.

"Sorry," Eun-Hyuk apologized and walked to Eun-Yu, putting his arm around her shoulders who surprisingly didn't shake him off and just stood there, stubborningly looking away.

"Another thing... we should probably get a different vehicle. Maybe like a caravan if we're planning on traveling a lot."

"Where do you want to find a caravan?" Hye-In wondered. "We were lucky to get our hands on this van," she said and walked over to the children who were still holding onto Hyun-Su.

"There has to be some abandoned shop... We can't be squeezing in that van for a long time," Eun-Hyuk said.

"I actually know a place. They resold used vehicles... I guess some cars could still be there in one piece," Sang-Wook said.

"Hm." Eun-Hyuk looked at Sang-Wook who kept his cool as always and walked to him which made Sang-Wook take a step back.

"What are you doing?" Sang-Wook said on alert.

"Nothing. How are you feeling?" Eun-Hyuk asked curiously, sensing Sang-Wook's nervosity that wasn't only caused by Eun-Hyuk's strange behavior.

"I am fine," Sang-Wook answered shortly, "why are you so weird about it?"

"I am sorry," Eun-Hyuk awkwardly chuckled and scratched the back of his head, "it's just this sixth sense I am dealing with lately. But if you have something to let out, better do it here than in the van with little space, what do you say?"

"What are you talking about?" Ji-Su wondered.

"I think that him being possessed postponed any transformations. That means it's all stuffed inside of him and he's barely holding it together-"

"So, you are now an expert in monsters? Or what?" Sang-Wook said, his tone being on edge.

"I wouldn't say an expert...-"

"I don't want to become a mindless monster! Of course I am trying-," Sang-Wook paused as he felt heat rising within him, "I am trying to hold it together."

"Yeah, I know. You'll be fine, though. Like Hyun-Su," Eun-Hyuk answered calmly.

"How do you know?!" Sang-Wook bursted out on him, his eyes changing color.

Eun-Hyuk also wasn't sure how he knew. He was somewhat aware of the fact that if he's there while Sang-Wook turns, he'll be able to keep him somewhat by his senses.

Everyone else in the lobby watched the two silently, as if any noise could've had destructive consequences and Hye-In tried to comfort the children as quietly as she could since they were uneasy from the whole situation.

"Trust me in this," Eun-Hyuk said and grabbed Sang-Wook's hand tightly, pulling him closer.

"Let me go!" Sang-Wook said angrily as his body twiched and its surface slowly changed from human skin to a wrinkly one with wounds that seemed to have produced some liquid. Eun-Hyuk held onto Song-Wook's hand during the whole process, having a short glimpse into yet another painful set of memories.

"Look at me," Eun-Hyuk said strictly when Sang-Wook's change came to a finish. Sang-Wook's black eyes landed at Eun-Hyuk's face in anticipation.

"Good," Eun-Hyuk said and laid Song-Wook's hand he had been holding on his chest and put his own hands on Song-Wook's temples, "it'll be alright. Just listen to my voice. You have control over this and you can change whenever you want. Hm? Yeah, that's right."

Song-Wook's skin was returning to his human one once again until he was back to himself, watching Eun-Hyuk in awe.

"How did you do that?" Hyun-Su asked in amazement, "it went so smoothly..."

"I don't want to make any premature conclusions," Eun-Hyuk said, taking down his hands from Song-Wook's head, "but I think that when a monster hears the... scream, or however you want to call it... then... they somehow do what I want."

"What?" Eun-Yu spat out of herself.

"So... you can make us whatever you want us to do? Even against our will?" Hyun-Su said, anxiety rising in his voice.

"It would seem so," Eun-Hyuk confirmed and raised his palms in defense, "I know... it's a bit of a moral dilemma. I can tell you that I won't misuse it but let's be frank. I do not know what lies ahead of us-"

"If I am a danger to somebody, then you can do whatever you want to stop me," Hyun-Su interrupted.

"Hm, I guess, same here," Song-Wook added, "if we get a say in this..."

"That makes you pretty dangerous," Ji-Su said, "we should keep it as a secret. Just imagine if the army found out..."

"The army would be stupid if they wanted to kill him!" Eun-Yu cried out, "and even if... you'd survive it, right?" she looked at her brother who gave her a small smile in return and said: "I promised that I'll come back, didn't I? Then I'll always come back."

[deltastorm101]

head absolutely STUFFED with horizon zero dawn thoughts so i'll just jot them down right here and right now because i will lose it if i don't get them out somehow. get ready, this will be chaotic, unsorted, unnecessary and all over the place xD i haven't finished the game so i have no idea what i'm talking about, no spoilers about the ending pls. there will be spoilers for people who haven't played it at all so i'll use a cut

sO! i slept on the game for a full year because this year has been... a lot. as we all know. alas, we're here; i jumped into it with the resolution not do what i always do: get way too obsessed and absorbed into making my way too 100% completion, while forgetting to pay attention to the actual story and lore. so of course i failed very, very early on; which may be my ocd-ish tendencies' fault or this HUGE ass map's, which screams to be explored as soon as you've stared at it for a solid five minutes trying to process the overwhelm™. i still haven't decided if i like the size of the map or not, lol. it's... big. very.

needless to say, the grinding game is going strooong. i'm not sure if the amount of grinding i did was even necessary to get where i am in the story right now but as i said, i HAVE to complete, i HAVE to check off, i HAVE to see maximum progress in the least amount of time. i know, not the way to enjoy games but fuck did i go hard at it. my bad.

also, i have forgotten what concentration feels like, so it took me a solid 10 hours to fully get the ui and trading and weapons and modifications and what is what and which thing is better and where this setting was again, but oh well, i've got time.

however, this resulted in myself not caring at all about the collectibles, especially the text datapoints; i dont understand em anyway, so why even read them, ya know. (shhh be quiet, i now realized how wrong i was.)

also huge ass machines. that are huge. and your fear is huge. and the damage they deal is huge. and you can't really follow anything at the beginning but it's ok cuz you're playing on easy mode anyway, in a feeble attempt to focus on the story, and so in the end it does always work out.

and then. AND THEN. came THE QUESTS™. you know which ones i'm talking about.

like okay, i did quite enjoy chatting with avad about politics and fictional history and helping erend find his siblings only to watch them die right before us. dandy. gamey. nice.

but then, when it dropped lance-fucking-reddick on me, and the word 'extinction' and the time frame 355000 days it absolutely HAD ME. damn. it had me good. mind you, that was like 40h in the game, which is a really long time for a game to pick up, but i was kind of prepared for that after google told me this might me a 100h+ game.

just. the contrast is remarkable. quests and QUESTS™ play like two different games for me. which begs the question, is it the game missing balance or is it just me playing in an unbalanced and ocd-ish way, wanting to be fully prepared for the main QUEST™, completing 10 side quests and 5 errands beforehand (and i'm not exaggerating)? i don't know, i really don't.

okay i'm done for now i think, let me carry on exploring the zero dawn facility, thank you for listening to this enormous ramble

pleasetazerme: oh hell yeah the absolutely fucking hate each other and are always put on rival teams but they get to the ntdp and the teams like hey yall r gonna be on the same line have fun

scheifsforlife: hanny/eichs kid (who is probably ACTUALLY named jack so eichs has to go by JOHN now): fuck you tkachuk, pass me the FUCKING puck

tkachuk/hughes kid (named jesse james): FUCK YOU HANIFIN, pass ME the fucking puck

pleasetazerme: they actually ply super well together tho it’s hilarious that they hate each other so much

scheifsforlife: it’s like 1988 but WORSE cause they are SO not friends off the ic

*ice

they won’t even LOOK at each other

pleasetazerme: they’re forced to room tgt on roadies it’s a disaster

scheifsforlife: meanwhile their parents are doing game nights with each other every wednesday

...maybe they start to fall in love though

pleasetazerme: oh yes definitely but they won’t admit it

it’s a little like mattdrai except ten times worse coz teenage angst

scheifsforlife: YES, and their parents are like, maybe you should start dating, you would be good together, and they are like NO NEVER

but at the same time ABSOLUTELY

pleasetazerme: they’re still like i hate him! when they’re drafted but by some freak accident or sumn they’re drafted to the same team like the sedins were

scheifsforlife: YES and they are like, do NOT but me on the same line as HIM but they secretly want to be played together

and they ARE

1988 probably see and are like, we should fix

or mattdrai lol

pleasetazerme: they’re again put in the same for the elc and somehow still do not solve their problems

it’s super chaotic and rlly bad

because the entire team KNOWS they love each othe

scheifsforlife: everyone wants to band their heads against a wall because of them

eventually though they figure it out when jj (jesse james) flirts with mattdrai’s kid at the asg and jack is just like, yeah NO and drags him off to have sex

pleasetazerme: mattdrais kid fucking knew which is why he flirted back

scheifsforlife: of course he did!  the parents all pay him 20 bucks each for his services

scheifsforlife: mattdrai: boy you are on your Eli and you think 200+ from the ‘rents makes you rich

*elc not Eli what autocorrect

our brains are just too powerful

pleasetazerme: child: money is money. esp if i didn’t do anything except hoe arnd

scheifsforlife: matty is like: please don’t hoe yourself around

also i’m still thinking about mitch in those JEANS

pleasetazerme: child: i heard what u did as a rookie ur not fooling me dad

SAME

scheifsforlife: matty: i didn’t hoe around!  i never slept with hanny and that’s the ultimate hoeing around move

taryn; you sleep with a guy ONE TIME

mitch, why did you buy those jeans?

just to make connor hot?

scheifsforlife: matty: u did but i didnt do it’s a win for me

he sticks his tongue out co he’s a child

i mean whag other reason would there be

scheifsforlife: Taryn just sticks her tongue back out at him because she too is a child

i cannot believe he bought RIPPED JEANS and he looks so good in thwm

pulls them off so well

like, UGHHH

and the fact that he bought them custom (probs because most hockeys buy custom jeans and pants)

pleasetazerme: petition for mitch to wear more ripped jeans (post more on instagram please)

ok but like mattdrais kid probably does hoe arnd at asg every yr even tho a shit ton on the people there r his uncles and will expose him to his parents

scheifsforlife: mtich, pulling mattdrai’s ear and dragging him away from another rookie, NOPE YOU ARE NOT DOING GHIS I DONT WANT YOUR PARENTS MAD AT ME

[ash-the-yandere]

So I made this like 2 years ago- in my opinion my writing has gotten better so I’ll post my recent stuff soon

__________________________________________

You could hear the blood curtailing screams of your blond headed older sister. How did this all happen? Why did it all happen?!? Well....

-Earlier that day-

(M/N) was walking around the night school. His (H/C) hair was all messy and in his face, his (E/C) eyes where looking down at the ground as the red headed triplet, Ayato Sakamaki, was following him. He was a little annoyed with the red head, he had been fallowing him a lot more lately and hated when someone else touched the (H/C) male besides himself. He always said

'Don't touch Ore-sama's property!'

Or

'You belong to yours truly!'

And really anything close to that. But,

(M/N) was way to shy to actually say anything to the red head about it. So,

(M/N) just walked the halls of the night school, his head down and books hugged close to his chest, wile the one and only Ayato sakamaki fallowed behind him. Lucky for (M/N) all classes where over. The short male made his way to his locker, where he put in the combination, opened it, and set his books neatly inside the Metal box. Shutting it, he swiftly turned around to walk to the detection where the limo was, only to bump into a sturdy and muscular chest. The small male quickly looks up to meet emerald green eyes of 'Ore-sama'

"OI! Shorty! Where do You think your going? Just gonna leave yours truly alone like that?"

The redhead said with a cocky smirk on his face as he looked down at the male in front of him. The (H/C) male's face lit up from embarrassment as he looked at the tall male, not knowing what to say. Of corse he was trying to leave Ayato! All that bastard did was drink his blood, complain, and harass him! Not in a vary sexual way tho. At least, not yet..... but the small boy didn't want to say anything, Ayato scared him at times with his yelling and then would take the anger out on

(M/N). So, he just shook his head no

"N-no Ayato-Kun....... o-of corse not....."

He said in his soft and adorable voice, the voice that Ayato loved. He loved (M/N), his soft and fluffy (H/C) hair, his big and sparkling (E/C) eyes, his cute and feminine features, his adorable smile. Especially his scared face and tears. He loved it so much! He loved him so much! He was basically infatuated with his being. He Was always on the redheads mind, he couldn't stop thinking about him.... he had to have him! He would never let him go! But one problem..... everyone was in the way. Especially Yui, your dumb and annoying step sister.

I mean, (M/N) loved Yui with all his heart, but Ayato hated her. Sure, Ayato did have these weird feelings for Yui when she first came, but when (M/N) was also sent to live in the mansion about a year after her, he got so infatuated with him, and he despised the blond girl. And she was always in the way of the redhead's and the shy boy's 'love'. Yui always hung around her little brother and always interfered with Ayato's plans with the small boy. But soon, super duper soon, the blond girl would be out of the way, and if Ayato's siblings interfered, he would eliminate them just like he was gonna eliminate Yui.

Ayato smirked as he grabbed the short male and threw him over his shoulder, causing (M/N) to squeak in surprise and embarrassment as the redhead started walking to the limo. (M/N) squirms a little in the vampires grasp as he was embarrassed and uncomfortable, people where also staring and girls were giving (M/N) dirty looks and harsh glares because he was with Ayato

"A-Ayato-Kun! P-please put me d-down!"

The small male cried out, but Ayato only smirked devilishly and slapped the smaller males ass, making the (E/C) eyed boy Yelp from the pain.

"OI! Short stack! Be quiet or I will give you a punishment when we get back! Do you want that?"

The green eyed vampire said as he smacked the smaller boy's ass again, making him whimper. Ayato smirked as (M/N) stayed quiet, not wanting to get a 'punishment' from the redhead. Ayato kept walking with the small boy on his shoulder, until they got to the limo....

"(M/N)! Come here!"

Yui called out, making Ayato growl as the small boy squirms in his arms to be put down. But, the redhead refused, not wanting to let go. He walked over to the limo, climbing in and roughly setting

(M/N) down next to him. The small male only whimpers as he looks at his lap, just wanting to go home. Ayato was about to say something to the (E/C) eyed male but was stopped when the blond girl entered the limo and sat never to her younger step brother.This made Ayato growl. He didn't want anyone near what belonged to him,

(M/N) was his and his only! But, said nothing. He had a plan for the blond to make sure she never interfered with him and his love ever again.

-present time-

"A-AYATO-KUN! P-PLEASE STOP!"

The blond girl was screaming loudly in pain as the red headed vampire was going threw with his plan. He was sucking her blood, but also, he had broken both her legs and arms. He stabbed a knife in her right eye and was planning on hurting her more if she could make it till then. But, she was loosing a lot of blood, the poor girls breathing was becoming slower and softer as she shut her eyes, tears streaming down her face. Ayato soon stops, pulllung away from her as he watched the girl slowly start to pass away.

"Pathetic!"

He growls as he stomps on her stomach, making the girl scream and cough up the little blood she had left. He stomped on her stomach again then her head, crushing the girls skull. A horrible squishing sound came from the girl as her body fell limp, all disfigured. Ayato scoffed as he looked at the dead girl with dark eyes, happy that she was gone

"You should have never touched Ore-sama's property..... (M/N) IS MINE!"

-to (M/N)!-

(M/N) was on Ayato sakamaki's bed. He had a collar around his neck, a medal chain attached to it. The chain was attached to the bedpost, the shy male couldn't remove it unless he had a key, witch was in the red headed vampires possession. The (E/C) eyed male whimpers as he tugs on the chain, wanting it to just disappear. How did he even get in this position? Well....

-earlier [when they got home]-

(M/N) had quickly gotten out of the limo. He just wanted to go to his room and sleep. He hasn't gotten much sleep lately. He has had to much homework, and Ayato kept bugging him. But today, he was free. No work, no nothing, well, besides Ayato. But, Ayato would let him sleep, at least for a little bit, right? Well, Ayato had another idea.

The short and shy (H/C) haired male had his bag in his hands as he walked to the door of the mansion, wanting to just cuddle into the bedsheets of his comfy bed. But, before he could go inside, he was stopped by being roughly pulled into someone's chest. The shy male squeaks as he is picked up and carried bridal style inside of the house. He quickly looks up, only for his (E/C) eyes to meet emerald green ones. His face lit up in a red fiery blush as he quickly looks away from the vampire, only hearing a chuckle come from the red headed sakamaki brother.

(M/N) was silent as Ayato took him to a room. (M/N) thought that they where gonna go to his own room. Ayato normally took him there to suck uis blood then just leave him there to cry. But, they went past the (H/C) haired boy's room. He was kinda curious as to where they were going, but soon realized the direction they where headed in. They were going to Ayato's bedroom. (M/N) squirms a little in the male's grip, earning a growl from the vampire. He slams his bedroom door open and slams it shut right after he throws the small male onto his bed

"Heh~ you've been pretty bad lately shorty~ and your's truly is starving. So I know the perfect punishment for a worthless piece of trash like you~"

Ayato says, a cocky smirk on his face as he makes long strides towards the small male. (M/N) only whimpers in response as the redhead crawls on top of him and pins his wrist above his head. Ayato quickly pulls down the (E/C) eyed male's shirt to expose his neck and collar bone. The shy male whimpers as he felt the vampires wet and slimy muscle lick around his neck before sinking his fangs in, the two sharp and pointy needle like fangs penetrating the soft skin of (M/N)'s neck, drinking the small males thick crimson red liquid greedily.

(M/N) yelps in pain as he grips onto Ayato's shirt tightly. Even tho this has happened many times before, he still was not used to it. The (H/C) haired male hated this so fucking much. The small male bites his lip harshly as he whimpers from the pain. He soon stared to feel light headed, Ayato was sucking to much blood.

"A-Ayato-kun..... p-please Stop.... t-to much blood......"

He whimpers softly as his grip on the vampires shirt loosened and he closes his eyes tightly. He was breathing heavily, loosing to much blood, it was hard for him to try and stay awake. (M/N) tried to stay awake, but couldn't. He was slowly drifting into a deep slumber, one that he would be in for a wile. And as soon as Ayato knew that (M/N) was asleep, he pulled away and licked up the remaining blood.

"You taste so sweet shorty..... soon, I will officially make you Ore-sama's~ I will take away your innocents and mark you as mine~"

-present time [with (M/N)]-

(M/N) kept tugging on the chain, it stared to hurt his neck. He had woken up to the sound of his screaming sister, who now, was dead. But, poor (M/N) didn't know that. He was scared out of his mind. He cared about Yui. More than himself. But he was also scared someone would hurt him, he was terrified. He cuddles in a small little ball under the covers. He knew he was still in Ayato's room, and even if it was his bed, he didn't care. It made him feel safe when he was under the covers, he felt protected. But that was short lived when the red headed vampire teleports into the room, a cocky smirk plastered on his lips and a deep, dark chuckle escaping his throat. (M/N) quickly looks up at the male and his eyes widened a little

"A-Ayato-kun! W-why am I chained up? A-and why are you all bloody?!? Where is y-yui?!? What's go-"

"SHUT UP!"

(M/N) was cut short as the emerald green eyes vampire grips the chain that was attached to the bedpost and the collar around (M/N)'s neck, and pulls it roughly, making the (H/C) haired male jump forward as he was pulled closer to the vampire. (M/N) squeaks in pain and shuts his eyes tightly

"You never, and I mean NEVER, speak that bitches name ever again! You are Ore-sama's!"

Ayato growls at the small male and sat on the bed, roughly pulling (M/N) into his lap. The small male squeaks but keeps his eyes shut tightly. But, the emerald green eyed vampire didn't like this, no, he wanted to see the sparkling (E/C) eyes of the short male as he takes his innocents away. Ayato grips the smaller males hair roughly and pulls on it, with a low and scary growl, warning him. (M/N) was scared, he didn't want to open his eyes but knew he had to unless he wanted to get a 'punishment' from the one and only Ayato sakamaki, and he didn't really want one at that moment. So, the (H/C) haired male slowly opens his big (E/C) eyes and looks up at the vampire.

"Heh.... you look so innocent~ but I'm about to take that away~"

The one and only Ayato sakamaki whispered in the smaller males ear, making (M/N) blush furiously. He stared squirming again, wanting to get up but the redhead held him down by grappling onto his waist, digging his nails into the soft and tender flesh. (M/N) whimpers from the pain, Ayato only chuckling darkly as he roughly smashed his lips onto the small males soft lips. The small male whimpers again from the sudden contact from the vampire. Ayato has kisses (M/N) before but the poor boy didn't like it. And this Time was not much different.

The (E/C) eyed male squeaks as he feels Ayato's tongue slid across his bottom lip, wanting entrance, but the shy boy keeps his lips tightly sealed. The emerald green eyed vampire growls out in dissatisfaction and trails of of his hands down to the small males ass and squeezes roughly, making (M/N) gasp and open his mouth slightly. This gave Ayato the opportunity he needed and quickly slipped his tongue inside his mouth. The red head then explore his new territory. But, Ayato's exploring had to soon come to an end, (M/N)'s need for air growing to strong. The male pulled away, a string of saliva coming from both of the boys mouths. Ayato smirked, loving how (M/N) gasped for air.

"Heh.... pathetic. If Your gasping for air now, just you wait shorty~ just you wait until I penetrate my rock hard cock into your tiny little asshole,"

Ayato whispered huskily into the small males ears, making the (H/C) haired male's face burst into flame. The short male stared to squirm around violently on Ayato's lap, not wanting this. All he wanted to do was sleep, that's all he wanted. He never wanted this, ever!

"N-no! A-Ayato stop it! Please!"

(M/N) pleaded with the stubborn redhead, only to receive a glare and a hard smack to the face, making the poor boy's head fly to the side and having him cry out from the sudden pain

"Shut up shorty! You can't tell Ore-sama what to do! You don't have a choice in the matter so save your voice so you can actually moan my name!~"

Ayato growled, making the small male whimper from his words and tone, but also the stinging sensation left on his cheek. He wanted to say something, but nothing came out of his mouth. He couldn't move, he just couldn't. He couldn't out of the fear that Ayato would hurt him again, but much worse. He was terrified, not wanting any of this at all.

"Heh... you look so cute and sexy when you are scared~ only if we added some tears..... but, yours truly is getting impatient. Let's speed this up.~"

Ayato chuckles and kisses down (M/N)'s neck. The (E/C) eyed boy was shaking from the fear. He wanted this to end. He was also bitting his lip, not wanting to let out any sounds. He didn't want to satisfy Ayato, not when he was doing this. Ayato growls at this, sinking his fangs into the small boy's soft and delicate skin. (M/N) squeaks from the pain and shuts his eyes tightly as he listens to Ayato greedily gulp down his crimson red blood. The shy male had tears streaming down his face, it hurt. It hurt a lot. Soon tho, Ayato pulled away with a little of the crimson liquid running down his chin

"Fucking delicious~"

Ayato growls as he rips (M/N)'s shirt in half and off his body, he throws the ripped up clothing somewhere in the room to be forgotten. (M/N) squeaks in surprise and moans softly from a mix of pleasure and pain when Ayato pinches ones of his nipples. Ayato smirks at the smaller males reaction and roughly pushes the small male down on the bed. He trails sloppy kisses down his neck and over the recently made bite marks. (M/N) whimpers and shuts his eyes tightly, wanting the redhead to stop. Maybe he wasn't gonna go really far? Maybe he was just teasing  him? That's what (M/N) thought, but oh boy was he wrong

Ayato soon got to one of the (H/C) haired boy's erect nipples and took one in his mouth. He sucked and nibbled on it with he pinched and twisted the other pink nip. The small boy writhed underneath him, moaning softly from the slight pain mixed with pleasure as Ayato bit down. (M/N) hated how Ayato was forcefully pleasuring him, he didn't want this, like he had a choice in the matter anyway

"You enjoying this shorty? Is yours truly pleasuring you?~ well, time for you to pleasure  Ore-sama, don't ya think shorty?~"

Ayato chuckles darkly as he pulls off his own shirt and unzips his pants, pulling them down and throwing the unwanted fabric across the room to be forgotten. The redhead was left in his boxers, a big tent in them. (M/N) refused to look down, he kept his head up and eyes tightly shut, he don't want to look. Ayato only smirks as he pulls his own boxers down, showing his long, thick, hard erection. The redhead pulls on the small boy's (H/C) hair, pulling his head up and closer to his member, rubbing the tip that was oozing with Pre cum across the shy males lips.  (M/N)'s big (E/C) eyes shoot open in terror as he stares up at the sadistic vampire That was holding him down

"Open your mouth and suck Ore-sama's dick like a lollipop~ if you do good, you might get a reward~"

Ayato purrs in the small males ear and grips his jaw tightly, prying open the shy boy's mouth and quickly sliding his manhood in. (M/N) gasp and gags as Ayato starts to quickly thrust his manhood in and out of the small boy's mouth, hitting the back of his throat.

(M/N) hated this! Maybe if Ayato came sooner, then they would be done? He just had to cum sooner.... Worth a shot and worth to try at least! So (M/N) wrapped his hands around the base of Ayato's member and started to lightly suck, making Ayato throw his head back from the amazing pleasure.

"Ah~ so good~ sucks harder~"

Ayato moans out and grips the smaller males hair, moving his head and thrusting into (M/N)'s mouth roughly, Ayato loved this, but (M/N) hated it so much. But, the small male decided to help and Ayato finish, so they would be done faster.

(M/N) sucks harder and whatever doesn't fit in his mouth, he pumps with his small, soft and delicate hands. Soon, Ayato groans loudly and shoots his thick, white and sticky Sperm inside of the poor males mouth. Ayato quickly pulls out and slaps a hand over the (E/C) eyed boy's mouth

"Swallow it!~"

He growls. But, the shy male refused. He didn't want this, and it tasted disgusting In his opinion. He didn't want to swallow it, he wanted to spit it out. Ayato growls at this, pinching (M/N)'s nose to block his air flow. The poor boy tried to hold his breath as long as he could, but soon had to swallow. Ayato completely pulls away from the male, having (M/N) cough and gasp for air.

"Heh~ you did good shorty~ yours truly thinks you deserve a reward~"

Ayato chuckles as he rips off (M/N)'s pants and boxers, throwing the fabric across the room to be forgotten. The small male squeaks and crosses his legs, also using his hands to cover his crotch. Ayato didn't like this tho and he clicks his tongue. He stands up, and quickly snatched some fabric from (M/N's torn shirt and ties the small males wrist above his head. (M/N) kept squirming, not liking this one bit.

"Suck."

Was all Ayato said as he put three fingers in front of the small males mouth. (M/N) was scared by his tone, and dint want to get in even more trouble so he hesitantly opens his mouth and lets Ayato's fingers slid in, he then uses his tongue and coats the three digits with his own saliva. Once Ayato thought they were wet enough, he pulls his fingers out of his mouth and roughly flips the poor boy over and onto his stomach. He then proceeds to trail his fingers to the boy's puckered hole and slowly slides a finger in, wiggling it around. (M/N) winces at the Brand new feeling of having a finger in his ass, he didn't like it, it felt weird. Ayato soon slips in another finger, making a scissoring motion with them.

"Shorty, your ass is so tight~ your Squeezing  Ore-sama's fingers tightly~ just wait until you squeeze yours truly's rock hard cock~"

Ayato whispers in the small boy's ear as he moves his fingers inside of him faster, adding a third one then a forth one until he was starting to stretch him out. (M/N) started to moan softly, the new and weird feeling turning into an amazing pleasurable feeling. The small boy tries to grip onto the cloth that was tying his hands together, but he couldn't, he just wanted to grab onto something.

"Ngh~..."

(M/N) kept letting out small moans as Ayato started to thrust his fingers in faster and faster. Ayato loved the Lewd sounds he was making and loved all his lewd faces. (M/N) felt amazing, he didn't want this, but it just felt so good soon tho, Ayato pulled his fingers out, earning a whine of disapproval from the small male, having Ayato chuckle darkly

"Do you like that shorty?~ is yours truly doing good at pleasuring you?~"

He chuckles as (M/N) blushes darkly and tries to hide has face. Ayato kisses down the poor boy's back and up to his neck, kissing him there and leaving a couple love bites. Ayato then places his hands on the males hips and positions himself at (M/N)'s tight entrance. The (E/C) eyed male opened his mouth to try and plead with the male to stop, only for a loud and blood curtailing scream to escape his throat as Ayato roughly thrust into him. The redhead doesn't even let the poor boy adjust as he starts to pound into him

"A-AYATO! P-PLEASE STOP IT! IT HURTS SO BAD! T-TAKE IT OUT!! PLEASE!"

(M/N) screams in agony as his upper half was pressed up against the bed and his bottom half was in the air as Ayato fucked him senseless. (M/N) had wet tears falling down his face, it hurt so badly, the pain just wouldn't go away. The small male kept crying his eyes out as Ayato kept pounding into him, loving how tight the small male was

"Hah~ your so tight~ your insides are squeezing Your truly's cock~ you feel so good~"

Ayato moaned out as he kept pounding into the small male. (M/N) was in tears, it still hurt but not as bad as it did when it started. But, (M/N) moans out loudly as Ayato hit this one spot inside him, his prostate. He didn't know how to feel,

(M/N) hated this but it just felt so good. The small male kept moaning as the redhead kept pounding into his Prostate. He also started to moan even louder as the green eyed vampire grabbed (N/N)'s smaller dick and started to pump him wile he thrusted into him. (M/N) was seeing stars, it felt so good. He forgot about everything at the moment, well that is until he felt this weird knot start to form in the pit of his stomach

"A-AYATO! Stop! I-I feel weird! L-like I'm gonna pee!"

The small male yells as he shuts his eyes tightly and grips onto the bedsheets for his life. Ayato only chuckles at this and kept pounding into him, and one more hit to the shy boy's prostate, made (M/N) cum onto the bedsheets and his own chest wile  Ayato cake inside of him.

"Heh~..... that was amazing shorty~"

Ayato moans into his ear as he pulls out of the small male and falls down next to him on the bed. He pulls the (H/C) haired boy to his chest and wraps both arms around his waist. The (E/C) eyed male still had tears falling down his face, as he passed out due to exhaustion, the chain still around his neck. The redhead kisses

(M/N)'s head and hugs him tighter wile he hides his face in his soft and fluffy

(H/C) locks

"Mine~ your Mine shorty and mine alone~ you belong to Ore-sama~ you are your truly's property now and forever~ I'll never let you go~ you are MINE!~"

-extra-

Ever sense that day Ayato had, forced himself upon (M/N), he was never aloud to leave Ayato's room, unless it was to his bathroom which was connected to the room. (M/N) was never aloud to speak to any of the brothers or other sacrificial brides. The only sunlight he ever got was from the balcony, he couldn't even go to school or walk around the mansion. Ayato would bring him his food and he was forced to sleep with him every night.

(M/N) always did what Ayato said, for he was to scared to back talk him. (M/N) was trapped to be with Ayato sakamaki, until the day he died.......

[unpopularly-opinionated]

Aight so Minecraft Dungeons dropped today and I’m gonna rant just a tiny bit but the TL;DR is it gets a solid 4/10. It’s fun enough for what it is, but it’s like the world’s biggest pit of wasted potential, along with some other gripes and nitpicks. I really want to like this game, but it’s not helping itself.

I played in the Beta I want to say a little over a month ago, and back then I genuinely thought this game was going to be something great. The Beta itself had very little content from what I remember. Just three levels, two NPCs in the ‘Hub’ area, and a handful of weapons and trinkets.

Back during the Beta, this was respectable. I thought “Okay, most of the content must be locked and/or unfinished for when the game releases.” Post-release though, it turns out that what was in the Beta was actually a good-sized portion of the full game.

Altogether there are about 10 levels, which is a good increase from the Beta, I’ll give it that, but for an ARPG that’s actually kind of limited. For comparison, Diablo III has about 103 levels (according to their Wiki). Now, Diablo III is $60, and Minecraft Dungeons is $20, so I don’t expect it to have 103 maps, but we’re still talking at minimum 30 maps to roughly fit the metric. Not to mention, the levels currently there are incredibly short.

There’s a spot on the map indicating there will be purchasable levels later, as DLC I assume, which...yeah that’s it’s own thing.

As for the weapons, I can’t say exactly w/o counting which I don’t plan to do, but from my best guess I want to say the amount of weapons doubled from the Beta, and the amount of trinkets maybe tripled. It’s kind of the same issue with the levels, at face value it seems like there’s a decent number of weapons/trinkets in the game, but for an ARPG it’s actually really low.

ARPGs, like Diablo for example, are primarily games where you collect a ton of loot to replace your old gear, sell, etc. The problem with Minecraft Dungeons is that loot rarely drops, but it’s not so simple as just turning up percentage chance for loot to drop because if they did that, it would be quickly realized how little variety there really is.

On top of there being very few loot drops, there’s also just very little loot in general in the levels. This hugely impacts exploration because there are numerous occasions where you will follow a split-path that goes on for a while, and if you’re coming from any other ARPG then you know that there’s loot at the end of that path, but then you get there and...there isn’t. No chest, nothing. Just some enemies you killed along the way. So sure you get an insignificant amount of EXP, but no loot? Come on.

This aspect I’m personally bitter about because on the final level I encountered a split path that went on for quite a ways, and along it I had to fight 4 Redstone Golems, which for those that don’t know are at one point a boss in the game that then become a miniboss. So I had to fight through 4 minibosses, just to get to the end of the path, and my reward? Abso-fucking-lutely nothing. I was livid because it took two of my four lives to kill them all and I ended up dying later in the level and had to restart.

The way the game tries to make up for loot dropping rarely is with the Blacksmith and Wandering Trader Villagers in the ‘Hub’ area. These were also a big gripe for me, and in fact were one of my only real criticisms from the Beta. When I saw their design in the Beta I thought “Surely this is the way it is because it’s a Beta.” because their designs scream Alpha build, but no, post-release they have not changed.

The way the Villagers work is they’re essentially reusable lootboxes for both gear and trinkets. You use the Emeralds you collect in levels to purchase a random piece of gear or trinket. Both the UI and frankly the entire concept seemed like something from an Alpha build test, and the fact that it’s still that way is truly the most baffling issue with the game.

Not only are these the only places you can spend Emeralds, but they really are not even remotely worth it. I’ve rolled hundreds of items between the two of them and just like with lootboxes I only got a piece of gear better than what I already had once or twice.

On the subject of the ‘Hub’ area, boy is it sure boring and lifeless. When you first start the game, there’s no one there, and after the first level you get the Wandering Trader, and then the second level you get the Blacksmith (or vice versa, I can’t actually recall), and I thought we’d steadily be growing the village/camp area with more NPCs to make it feel more alive, progress the story, maybe some would give out Quests or something, but no. You get just the two NPCs and no one else.

There’s also really no replayability. The way the gameplay works is your “class” is tied to whatever weapon you choose to use, but the issue with that is if you want to play the game with lets say a Hammer, you essentially have to pray to RNGeezus that you steadily get better and better Hammer drops along the way, otherwise you’re going to be forced to switch to a different weapon, and therefor a different class, fairly quick because your weapon will quickly become underleveled, and there’s no way to increase it.

The game essentially forces you to play as a Jack of All Trades character, almost completely ignoring what your weapon actually does in favor of how strong it is compared to your old weapon, meaning there’s no reason to play the game again because you will still be a Jack of All Trades character.

Also some smaller, more personal nitpicks:

The levels themselves are quite empty, and again this stems from the fact that there’s just no loot in this game, and nothing of value to spend Emeralds on. There’s some breakables, consisting of mainly pots that you’ll find a few of throughout levels, but that’s about it. Again, because there’s no loot, there’s no reason for them to add more interactable stuff like that.

So to sum up:

Short game both content and length wise.

Few loot drops, and variety of loot.

Features that feel unfinished.

Bland hub area.

Empty levels.

No replayability whatsoever.

Again, I really want to love this game. I really do. Visually it’s so fun-looking. It fits that Minecraft aesthetic perfectly. What little gameplay there is is pretty solid. It’s just an altogether very empty game that feels half-finished, if even. If there was any indication that this was a sort of “early access” type, I’d probably change half of my opinions, but as far as I’m concerned this is it. This is how it was meant to look, and the fact that they’re already advertising future DLC in the game leads me to believe that not a whole lot of content is going to be added to this game freely.

At this point, I can only hope they open it up to being moddable and/or it inspires the team making Minecraft to add in some of the cool shit from Dungeons to Minecraft.

Shadowhunters Rewatch!  Episode 1x02: The Descent into Hell isn’t Easy

- The descent into hell isn’t easy but it’s easiER when you have cramps and there’s a plumber opposite your bedroom again lmao Let’s do this

- Damn Jace no need to be RUDE

- I really love the dilapidated church cover thing btw

- See the tech was something that bothered my sister about the series, she preferred the more medieval feel of the first book and movie. Personally I love it lmao but then again I’m more of a sci fi nerd than her

- I totally forgot the misinformation thing they did after the revolt ew. What kind of coverup bullshit

- Lol early Sizzy moment #godbless

- I feel like this whole ‘runes on the floor will kill mundanes’ thing is underutilised in the future… may have to use it in a fic lol

- HA I forgot they made Izzy’s lack of cooking skills show-canon as well lol

- Additionally Alec’s character development is very interesting to me in a ‘wtf did Magnus see in s1 Alec’ kind of way, so I’m starting a separate list to try and track his motivations and biases and stances to see how they shift. Probably gonna do the same thing for Maryse bc I buy her redemption but I can’t quite pinpoint WHY I do (except my favourite thing is when people are nice to Magnus lmao)

- OH LOOK IT’S HODGE. FUCK U HODGE (ahem. Moving on)

- (Main shadowhunter squad looking around their parents) Isn’t there ANYONE HERE WHO WASN’T A FUCKING TERRORIST??? (Shh Louise we only know Jocelyn and Luke so far)

- Clary I get that you feel bad but apologising once was enough, Hodge is a big boy who can make his own decisions lol

- ‘What is a GI Joe’ lmao

- ‘No training and no plan gets you killed’ I think that’s interesting, because it speaks to Jace’s idea that as long as he trains hard enough and have a plan, things’ll work out.

- I thought it was pretty cold of Clary to seriously consider Jace’s ‘what if Dot is working for Valentine’ point, but then again LUKE has turned on her as far as she knows so I guess that’s a reasonable amount of suspicion

- Izzy looks so proud of herself aw bless

- ‘Jace is the ultimate protector’ oh no oh help I’m having smol-boy-Jace-Wayland-carving-himself-an-identity feelings

- I just noticed the runes drifting in the background of the UI all Matrix-style lol. Can u believe Shadowhunters tried to tell us that WARLOCKS were the #extra ones lmao

- ‘A little too much in my opinion’ imagine thinking Izzy is straight lol couldn’t be me

- ‘He’s in good hands with the boys’ oh POOR Simon XD

- LOOK at the connection between these two. I’m love them. Can u believe they were already kindred souls BEFORE becoming parabatai, truly beautiful

- oKAY canon divergence I want::: Simon leaving without a hitch, googling how to kill demons and FIGURING IT OUT. He comes back for Clary and now the gang have this mundane demon-killer on side lol, and Alec’s all like ‘he’s a fucking MUNDANE he can’t be here in Shadowhunter business learning secrets and getting himself killed’ and Izzy’s like ‘he killed four demons wtf you worried about bro???’

- Seelie scouts??? The Clave really will make a show of unity when it suits them huh

- They were KIDDING about the floor runes are you KIDDING me XD I figured it was just a continuity problem lmao (also I know they’re being dickheads but that little smirk between Jace and Alec is maybe the first time we properly see them as a brotherly team aha)

- Okay but with hindsight you can really tell this whole cold demeanour ISN’T Magnus. His mannerisms are SCREAMING ‘coping mechanism in a time of crisis’ rn

- That being said if Dot’s magic is dangerously low I bet he regretted leaving her behind alone and vulnerable, she’s a grown woman who can make her own choices but it’s kiiiind of a dick move especially since he entreated her with sarcasm instead of earnestness to try and convince her to come with

- It continues to be exceedingly funny that Pandemonium is never mentioned outside of S1, when it’s painted almost as Magnus’ MAIN job in that. I mean it kind of makes sense that we see his public face in this beginning and his more personal details later on – the warlock stuff, the clients and politics that are more ‘core’ to his job and identity – but still. Not even MENTIONED, I don’t think. XD

- All of them stepping out of the van… Scooby Doo vibes lol WHERE is my mystery-solving AU with these five???? Do I have to write all of my unvoiced fanfic ideas myself??? Unbelievable

- Clary talking about the void she felt… I’m not crying about 3x22 you are

- ‘Wasteful warlock life’ Valentine. My dude. She has CENTURIES to learn and love and travel and experience, and you’re wasting your handful of decades on racism But go off I guess lmao (loser)

- I know the liquid is bad but also there is a HUGE bubble in that syringe. Valentine how is she gonna be useful to you after a mahoosive stroke

- Random shot of the moon. I mean I love her but WHAT ‘Look it’s night-time!!!! Spooooooky!!!!’ XD

- Okay Izzy is halfway-smitten, lbr. She and Simon fit so well okay

- ‘I can’t be here anymore’ Listen s1 Alec is a serious, grumpy lil shit but he DOES have a sense of humour okay

- Jace LET THEM HUG :C

- ‘We carry it to remind us that light can be found in even the darkest of places’ Jace stfu it’s a TORCH X’D (Like, no disrespect to traditions in general, but that one just SMACKS of Clave Sanctimony lol, and by Jace’s next line he knows that aha)

- …Is Nephilim the dative??? I need to look that up lol. Also think it’s funny that Hell (in its various realms) is the one place Shadowhunters CAN’T go, re 3x21

- ‘You assume I have feelings’ Jace. Bro. You are perhaps the CRYINGEST CRIER IN THIS SHOW. Let go of the toxic masculinity friend, you’re gonna be nicer once you do <3

- I’m revisiting my earlier point: WHY ARE LITERALLY ALL OF THE PARENTS CIRCLE MEMBERS LMAO

- ‘No more I’m sorries, you’re a Shadowhunter now’ YIKES if that don’t say it all about Shadowhunter hubris lmao. Apologies are good and necessary <3

- RECOGNISED THE CLAIRVOYANCE RUNE, HIGHKEY PROUD OF MYSELF AHA

- Think how much less beautiful and adorable the Malec wedding would have been if Brother Zachariah looked like this kind of Coraline experiment gone wrong lmao

- I’m not always a fan of a flashback but that ‘you’re strong enough’ one definitely makes it seem less like Clary’s just being reckless aha

- ‘It’ ALEC STOP BEING SUCH A RUDE BITCH. Also I do love Sizzy but I definitely think Izzy needed to be in a less defensive position when they got together (re ‘he passes the time’, I don’t ACTUALLY care I’m just a heartbreaker out for a good time), I’m kind of glad they waited until her caring side had been more nourished instead of stifled

- SIMON. YOU SAID YOU HAVE SEEN HORROR MOVIES. WHY DID YOU PUT HEADPHONES ON

- ‘The night children have broken no laws’ Wait, so kidnapping a Mundane ISN’T against the law??? I mean I get Shadowhunters not being able to KILL them for it - …oh. OH. HANG ON. Are the Accords just to stop Shadowhunters KILLING Downworlders for the smallest of crimes???? Does Raphael mean ‘kidnapping no longer constitutes a capital punishment (like it did before)’??? Either this is a script issue (bc if Shadowhunters protect Mundanes, kidnapping one SHOULD be against the law) or a hint of just how fucked up the Accords are, that ‘the law’ isn’t the law how WE understand it but instead ‘things which are still valid excuses to severely punish Downworlders, when we used to do so willy-nilly’ :S

- Season tagline: ‘Everybody wants that damn cup!’ Valentine wants it to wield it, the Clave wants it APPARENTLY to protect people from Valentine, Luke hinted that the werewolves want it, now the vampires…. Damn.

 This one gets an 8/10 for enjoyment – I’m having fun! – and actually a 7/10 for quality. Not NEARLY as many script issues and cringe factors as in the first ep lol. Thanks for reading. ^^

5Crowns Weekend: Ivar - MASTERLIST

Let us speak a little about Ivar, the Boneless. The real one, who inspired the character we all love in the series Vikings.

The real Ivar is, among the supposed sons of the legendary Ragnar Lothbrok, the one with the bigger variety of sources of information about his tales; which makes really hard to elaborate an introduction about him due to the number of disconnections in between the sources of his actual history.

Many sources agree he was actually the first of the sons of Ragnar Lothbrok and his wife Aslaug - and not the younger one, as Hirst's work portrays at the series! Nevertheless, the curse that supposedly caused his condition was reproduced at the series in a situation pretty close to what would have been the real one: Ragnar was out to raid and Aslaug told him they should wait for three nights before consummating their marriage after his return following the long separation period. Ragnar ignored her prophecy and as a result, Ivar would have been born "without bones".

The condition that supposedly gave him the name "Boneless" is also controversial: some historians believe he was a flexible man; some relate his "bonelessness" would be assigned to sexual impotence; some say the name came due to the incapability of walking. But the most shared theory is that Ivar The Boneless was the carrier of a disease that gained a large divulgation after the presence of the character on the Vikings series: The Osteogenesis Imperfecta - a disease that affects the connective tissue due to lack of type I collagen, causing the bones to be week and easily breakable.

The Boneless could have easily inspired "The Many Faces God" from Game of Thrones for his name, Ivar, can also be spelled as Ivarr, Inguar or Inwaer; and through the sources of his history and registers of his existence, he was also known as Ivar inn Beinlausi (from the Old Norse); Hyngwar (in the Old English); Ivar Ragnarsson (since he’s described at the Ragnarssona þáttr – The Tales of the Ragnar’s Sons); Ivar The Ruthless (due to a possible mistake at the translation of his name from the Old Scandinavian – the words for Boneless and Ruthless are quite similar according to some historians); and some historians make the association in between him and the Scottish and Irish leader Ímar (Old Norse: Ívarr) who was also a Viking King and founder of the Ui Ímair or Dinasty of Ivar “which ruled much of the Irish Sea region, the Kingdom of Dublin, the western coast of Scotland, including the Hebrides and some part of Northern England, from the mid-9th century” (source: Ui Ímair - Wikipedia).

Uh! The boy has some names, uh? hahaha

Unlike the historical Ivar, there aren't many names in between the actors who played the Viking ruler at the series: Ivar was played by an unknown baby actor at the end of season 2 and through season 3, being passed to the talented hands of James Quinn Markey who played the young Ivar at season 4A until the episode 10 (The Last Ship) when a transition of time occurs and the character is delivered to our beloved Alex Høgh Andersen (Thanks to @ivarsrideordie for the tips! Love ya!).

Despite the juicy acting of James Quinn Markey who impressed by the incredible expressivity and description of Ivar's hard behavior, Alex H. Andersen has been giving us a literal show of acting, showing with precision the routine, mishaps and hard life of a person who carries the OI from the point of view of a complete actor who more than just dressing the character's skin, studied the condition deeply and made huge efforts to bring this reality into Ivar's daily life in details.

From dragging himself for more than a week, screaming in Old Norse into the hotel bedroom; to exploring the leader's dilemma between being loved or feared, described by Niccolò Machiavelli in his book "The Prince" - a book Alex show to have studied for the last season of Vikings - the young actor and amateur photographer conquered the fandom's heart becoming one of the most loved actors of the series' cast and turning his character into the most loved son of Ragnar Lothbrok - especially among the female public hahaha

Sister wives welcome to the new 5Crowns Weekend! 

Let us toast and celebrate in honor of Ivar, The Boneless!

All hail our new King!
