Operations Emperors Abyss
Mission 1: Syntax Error
Details: Terence and the Toppat Radical’s have an underground server facility setup in the UK. These server’s contain some details on Terence’s new weaponry and technology. We believe he is looking to robotic warfare with drones and machines, and we want to put an end to these operations. Break into the facility and pull the plug on his servers.
Complications:
Titan Security System: The facility has been outfitted with special security, keycard readers, security panels, and cameras can’t be destroyed or hacked, be careful.
Small Arms Only: We've had issues smuggling weapons to the mission site. You're going to need to bring small, easily concealable weapons. Only pistols and SMGs will be available.
Extra Cameras: Terence doesn’t want to take any chances, so he’s set up a serious amount of cameras in the facility. Because of the Titan Security System, the cams can’t be destroyed nor hacked.
CHAPTER 3, ACT 5: THE ABYSS BEGINS
(All 5 of us are in a sewer line going directly underneath the compound. The plan is to set a few bomb charges and flood their operation with sewer water. The bomb charges are ones that I made, small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, yet packed with enough explosive power to blow a hole through any wall. However, we're all less than happy with the current situation.)
Kyle, what exactly were you on when you thought of this plan?
A LOT of sleep medication, Alter. I've had some really bad bouts of insomnia from this, remember?
Yeah, but even though you were pretty much sleep-talking, you made a valid point. "If they're deep underground, let's go deeper underground". That was what you said, and honestly, it was pretty genius of you.
Alright, pretty sure that's the last of the charges. Are we all ready?
Sweetheart, just detonate the damn things already. WE'RE IN A SEWER!
Yeah, let's go.
(Henry detonates the charges, which causes sewer water to rocket through the floors of the facility up to it's ceilings. Not only are all personel completely knocked out by the blasts, but all the security systems got completely drenched and short-circuted, knocking it out completely.)
WHOO!!! That was AWESOME!
Let's get outta here before someone else shows up, Kyle. Adam, beam us out!
(We're beamed out, and just like that, mission complete!)
CHAPTER 3, ACT 5 COMPLETE
ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: "SEWAGE BLAST"
DISPLAYING EPILOGUE...
(Terrence returns to the compound, only to find the floor to be completely blown out, revealing a sewer pipe below.)
Hey, boss!
(Terrence whips out his gun, but stops himself from firing it when he realizes it's merely one of his underlings.)
What the hell are ya doing down there, ya bloody idiot?!
(Terrence has a heavy British accent. He was raised in the UK, after all, and only moved to the Toppats when he heard they needed a new leader. To him, that was the best time of his life, but to everyone else, it was the worst time in the Toppat's entire existence.)
The CSB got us, sir. Mind helping me up?
(Terrence is about to shoot him, but he decides not to. His rage is at the CSB, not his head scientist. He extends a hand out, helping the poor man out.)
Let me guess, those blokes left a message?
Yes, sir. Here.
(Terrence unfolds the note and reads it.)
Terrence! Long time no see, fuckface! You know, we didn't miss you in the slightest. The Toppat Clan is doing WAAAAY better than when you were in charge, y'know? We all called your tyranical rule the "Age of Suave", because it was so bad it felt like AGES before the Toppat Clan did something about it. And like all tyranical rulers, you were defeated. And if you can be defeated once, it sure as hell can happen again.
Hope you burn in hell, you piece of shit.
Unsincerely,
Kyle Gibbons✍🏼
Alterrune🔺
Violet Wolfsbane����
Henry Stickmin 🔵
Ellie Rose 💕
(Terrence takes the note, pins it to a corkboard, and throws a throwing knife at the corkboard, landing dead-center on the note.)
Dr. Grey, run a scan. There's someone we need to kidnap for a ransom. "Édouard Labarthe" is his name. And if ya get anymore calls from that bloomin' idiot brother of yours...
Oh, trust me. Earl and I have been out of contact for a while now. As far as he knows...
..."Jerry Grey" has been dead for a long, long time.
END OF EPILOGUE

This post wouldn't leave my mind.
Error and Ink meeting before they completely become themselves is so....
ლ(ಥ益ಥლ) HHHHHHH
#if anyone remembers ye olde days of error and ink#of the lawlessness of 2016#then you would recall CQ saying “if error's beginnings had been anything else. ANYTHING ELSE-”#hehe#*collapses to die*#i know its highly unlikely that this would still be applicable today#but error was pretty stable before ghost sans dropped in#anyways for lil headcanons i believe Ink's enthusiasm of the AUs they visit#would curb MOST of error's destructive tendencies temporarily. emphasis on temporarily.#i still believe it can go wrong ekkfjej lets say ink here gets hurt cuz im pretty sure he has near zero way to defend himself lmfao#maybe meeting ____ alters his last thoughts enough before he becomes an error. who knows?#i believe in happy endings and outcomes sorry#junie art post#errorink#error sans#ink sans#inkerror#error x ink#ink x error#error sans x ink sans

("Always. Continuously. With increasing apprehension, and decreasing hope. I will love you if I never see you again, and I will love you if I see you every Tuesday. I will love you as a corpse loves the beak of the vulture. I will love you no matter what happens to you, and no matter how I discover what happens to you, and no matter what happens to me as I discover this." -- paraphrased from The Beatrice Letters, Lemony Snicket)
#svsss#bingqiu#luo binghe#shen qingqiu#lbh#sqq#i've been working through the series of unfortunate events and somehow that series has paired really nicely with svsss#the themes of cycling violence and what's justified and what isn't and what can possibly be done differently#and how trying to bring love and honour into the midst of it really changes nothing but also changes everything#it's just *chef's kiss*#i don't know how i can quite do my thoughts justice but i've spent the past few weeks quietly going between the two series (and mdzs and tg#as well if we're being honest they all hit similar questions and themes) and just reveling in the pain and ambiguity of it#everything is interconnected and it means you can never know what trauma and pain and necessity has shaped a person#each story goes too far back to ever ever EVER possibly see the full extent of it#at that level even communication itself is nearly impossible.#and because of that it's almost impossible to change anything. beat yourself apart and the outcome is the same#and yet ATTEMPTING to change things ATTEMPTING to do the kind thing the honourable thing is absolutely critical#because while you can change nothing you also have the capacity to change EVERYTHING#aaaaaaah i don't even know what i'm saying#but i read the beatrice letters today and the love letter just. killed me.#(obviously i cherrypicked some lines because it's three pages long but those ones felt right)#''i love you like a corpse loves a vulture's beak'' i just. can't get over that line.#to be completely changed. altered. destroyed. redeemed. purified. desecrated. reduced to nothing yet entirely necessary for another's life.#what a FUCKING line#anyway i was either going to blow up from thinking about it or else i had to exorcise it via art from an entirely different series#i've already done svsss and discworld why not throw a series of unfortunate events into the mix#i'll be honest folks i did not expect svsss to be the mxtx series that would fuck me up the most about the main ship#bingqiu is something else. i don't even know how to begin to approach my feelings on it. impossibility and necessity all at once#bizarre#my art

King Booario again! This time with an updated design.
#Been a while since I drew this guy#the old look needed some serious tweaking but I'm proud of the outcome#I'm still firm in the idea that possession in the Mario universe alters one physically a la Bowletta#so this is the result: a king boo who's bigger and badder than ever#King Booario#Luigi#King Boo#my art#design update#piano can art

gay people are so fucking useless, they will literally quit their well-paid, secure job for some guy, go to that guy's boss and offer to write a book about their football club, pretend to be "observing" the guy's coaching methods or some shit for MONTHS and actually write a whole ass book about it, all just to have an excuse to spend every single day with him instead of simply saying something like "hey I'm really into you, would you like to go out sometime"
#ted lasso#trent crimm#he was so real for this#but also so goddamn stupid#like dude get it TOGETHER#anyway I still firmly believe trent confessing his feelings would've DRASTICALLY altered the season finale's outcome#which is of course why he never could... fucking.. the narrative and all

i do think a good shtola arc for the future would be like, her sort of calculated recklessness with her own life negatively affecting someone else and her having to reckon with that
#like for example i just don’t think they dealt with her forever altering thancred!!!#man. they could have done so much with that + the tension between them in shb#i feel like ppl don’t really consider how close they are like she has a whole little speech about how she expects better of him#bc she knows he can be better!! bc they’ve known each other so long.#and now she has to charge his cartridges bc she permanently altered his ability to use aether. while trying to save him!!#i have like a vague memory of him being like well i’m not mad bc she saved me but i have no idea if that’s real or i read it in a post ahdj#i don’t have thancred brain im sorry😭#but anyway. they care about each other so much but i think they should have gone into this a little more.#well there’s always fic.#i need a text post tag#shadowbringers spoilers#oh i forgot where i started with this but essentially i want her to like really have to think about how far she will#go for answers. and to decide when it’s enough!! idk what i hope the outcome will be.

li tianchen saying he hated people who pretended to be nice but were secretly jerks the most + the neighbour who saw what was going on but backed off (whether because of his own safety or because liu lan shook her head to get him to go away with the idea that it would stop further escalation). the idea that "jerk pretending to be nice" in this case is represented by an observer seeing something wrong and refusing to intervene.
looking at cheng xiaoshi's repeated interference during dives vs lu guang's mantra to keep the past as it was. to remain an observer deliberately.
#link click#link click spoilers#shiguang daili ren spoilers#tying these ideas together in a very loopy bow until I can decide what to make of it#the fact that during this entire dive we don't actually get to see how much of it was keeping things the same vs potential alterations#and that cxs went into the dive not knowing both li parents would die but lg received that info during the dive#he could easily decide to relay that info or choose to keep it to himself in the hopes of making cxs follow his instructions#(just as with keeping emma's death from him. the earthquake outcome.)#has lu guang actually been forced to change in any capacity or will he keep following the same lines. or does he trust cxs has changed#enough to follow the path even knowing the outcome. idk idk it's just musings#anyway I'm side-eying the guy with the football in the fountain big time. got some ideas but nothing settled yet beyond being sus at no fac

i think it's severely under-explored that, in possibly the rarest timeline imaginable, hawke can potentially become both viscount of kirkwall and princess of starkhaven
#assuming that the wife of the prince is a princess idfk. there's never been any mention of a princess of starkhaven#(for clarification: starkhaven doesnt have a king; they only take the title of prince. so no queen i assume)#da#da2#dragon age#dragon age 2#hawke#but like. what consequences does this have for the free marches and the independence of the city-states?#obviously none because they cant alter the story so much for such a rare outcome#but................it's interesting!#personal#also hey since i dont feel like making this its own post: ive got a bunch of asks recently and i AM PLANNING TO REPLY!!!!!!#i was gonna do that 'reverse unpopular opinion' thing right away but then my sleep got fucked up and it messed up my plans too badly#but ive uh. basically written my entire responses in my head. just gotta write them down sometime

Ladies and gentlemen...
I got him. Big Man's Amiibo is mine.
Also, face reveal BC I think you guys have earned it after all this time.
This is me. This is who I am. A lovable goofball, just like the characters I create and just like how I act in the story.
Thank you guys for everything. You're the best.

I've been think about tcba and what might have happened if Kakashi had intercepted the Ne ninjas who grabbed Mari before they got to Danzo, or just around when she killed him and I wanted to know what you think would happen?
some iteration of the same events would have happened regardless. mariko was waiting for a confrontation, but if she'd had to initiate, she would have done it.
if he'd caught them in the middle of kidnapping her? those particular ninja would've been toast, but both kakashi and mariko would've known who'd sent them. kakashi would want to go to tsunade, but mariko would say 'if he wanted me dead he wouldn't have kidnapped me.'
so they seek out danzo. the conversation w danzo is mostly the same, mariko still kills him, still takes the sharingan. kakashi would be, uh, horrified, but not immediately try to stop her. and then it's a matter of whether or not kakashi forces a confrontation w mariko or she's able to slip away. if she slips away, the same things go down--the explosions, the political assassination. mariko just doesn't bother w a speech. she's in and out.
if he confronts her--kakashi doesn't want to fight his student. he's disgusted by what he learned, but he's a good soldier. he wants to go to tsunade. he thinks it's forgivable.
mariko runs. she doesn't bother w the rest, she just gets out. it'll have to do.
#really it just gives kakashi a front row seat rather than significantly altering the outcome#he's not in a place where he can take in this information and be anything other than a good soldier who goes to the hokage#he's not going to join her sorry anon#mariko wouldn't give him the chance to even know it's an option and that's considering he's capable of taking it#and I'm not sure he is#mariko won't explain her grand plan bc she's afraid kakashi will stop her#she just runs#internet user demands answers#tcba#tcba meta

the crux of babygate is that louis was the LAST person people expected to have a scandal like that. it was kinda silently understood that zayn, liam, niall and to an extent, depending on your pov, harry were all sleeping with ppl casually for years. on the outside, louis’ two options were his relationship with his long term gf…. or larry. he never had any major scandals with eleanor, no baby scare or cheating rumors, and he was lauded and played the role well as a doting committed bf. so for louis, who was either really good at keeping secrets or genuinely made an irresponsible decision, it really messed with everyone’s perception, more than drugs or partying. there are so many things we would not know if not for ppl digging around but there’s just as much that we don’t know… no one could keep the baby under wraps? i think it just comes down to louis fucking up and deciding to take responsibility for it.
#the other guys could have had PLENTY of baby scares without us knowing#i guess the question becomes: why was it so public?#this scandal did many things: alter public perception; destabilize the fanbase; place a lot of attention on the child and his tie to louis#i hate to say it. regardless of the outcome i think the intent was tied to killing larry rumors#the right thing to do is to take responsibility but the continuous publicity it got was no mistake and a deeply selfish move#long post
