1 thru 6 for the slay the princess ask game!

(Explore) What's your favorite Chapter?

I HAVE to say Chapter 3: The Princess and the Dragon. what can I say, I think The Long Quiet is big sexy and we don’t get to look at him full-on anywhere else!!

(Explore) If you have a least favorite Chapter, then how would you go about changing it?

Chapter 2: The Nightmare for sure. It just feels… not scary! And I’m a huge weenie so that’s saying something! It needed more buildup. I didn’t feel really threatened, even despite the best efforts of VotParanoid’s delivery when the Nightmare got too close. Maybe it takes longer for the Nightmare to jump you if you walk around a bit in the maze. (Then again, I’m sure Black Tabby made it the length it was for a reason so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

(Explore) Who's your favorite Vessel?

Honestly? Damsel, possibly. First Vessel I got in the very first demo, for one thing! The skin of the construct feels particularly close, with her. She doesn’t want to hurt The Long Quiet, so — in concert with his actions — she becomes something that can’t hurt him. Her route is genuinely unsettling. (Shout-out to Smitten for selling the creepy, lmao.)

(Explore) If you have a least favorite Vessel, then what do you think would make you like her?

Do I have a least favorite? Hmmm… I mean I don’t vibe with the Tower but that’s just because I want to be the dommy mommy, I don’t think that’s a problem with her.

(Explore) Who's your favorite Voice?

HERO!!! HERO HERO HEROOOOO, MY BELOVED!!! The worst thing you ever did was respect the decider’s choices too much. Mwah mwah mwah. 

(Explore) If you have a least favorite Voice, then what do you think could make you like him?

Broken, but specifically in his own route. Idk I think if he was more overtly needy it might be more compelling. I get that he’s the part of TLQ that doesn’t want to be hurt anymore, but c’mon dude.

(Even so, I love how the Voices are all parts of a whole personality, I love how they’re both reflections of the player/TLQ and shards of the Narrator/Echo. The Narrator can control TLQ in chapter 1, but after that, the Voices take over. It’s such a great ludonarrative integration.)

“Umaasa”

sypnosis; I searched our place — our home , yet you weren't there , how can I heal a wound made by love?

cw; angst , crush , sad , tears , guilt , freindship falling out, umaasa is a Filipino word that means something like believing, expecting , google it for a more deeper understanding , reconciliation

Now playing; “Umaasa” By Caelin

Manon has been your friend for god knows how long , you moved to Switzerland at a very young age due to some family issues and the very first person you met was her

she was kind , smart and funny — she never failed to make you laugh — she loved painting and most times you two would paint together or just admire the mountains of Switzerland

��✧˖*°࿐

"i know" Manon says dragging out the word

"yeah it's like so stupid — anyways you did the math assignment?" you ask

"no...." Manon replies guilty

"i knew it , heres my notebook give it back before third period okay?" you said handing over your math notebook before walking to the canteen to buy some overpriced chips

you came back to Manon with her favorite soda and some babybel cheese

"aww thanks" she said as an infectious grin spreads on her face

you softly grin back and nod

"anyways—did you see Lara today" Manon ask — yes you were very jelous I mean why Lara? , yes she's perfect but it hurts you

"oh uhm i haven't" you reply your voice quickly changed which didn't go unnoticed to the older

"what's wrong — c'mon don't tell me you don't like Lara too , shes much more better than you know who" Manon reasons out her voice fades out as all you can hear is blah blah blah

"yeah whatever — besides I have to go to class already" you said taking your notebook and walking to your classroom

—✧˖*°࿐

you never really knew why Manon was so drawn in my Lara

she was pretty

smart

and very popular

but despite the point you didn't see why , buzzed by your thoughts you fail to notice the bell ring and it's officially lunch time

"fuck" you gasp as you run out of the classroom remembering your hang out with Megan And Daniela

as you run thru tight corridors and some smelly students you stop dead in your tracks

Manon was with...Lara

against your better judgement you stayed and stared at them anyways , they laughed and got closer as time progressed

why can't it be you?

your last string was when Manon invited Lara to an hang out you made

"fuck this" you whisper , running to Megan and Danielas dorm

—✧˖*°࿐

"I think they're cute" Megan says

"yeah , I mean Manon is like a nerd and Lara's a social butterfly" the latina follows

your frown deepens I mean even your friends think they match , they click like a puzzle piece

"hey why?" Megan says noticing your reaction

"nothing" you replied shortly

"are you guys coming later , at Manon's house?" you ask , you needed atleast friends there you can't bear seeing Manon and Lara together

"yeah , actually it's already 4pm we should get going" Daniela follows looking at her wrist watch "okay then" Megan said afterwards

—✧˖*°࿐

nothing new was happening in the hang out really , just a bunch of eating and screaming over what to watch on the television

"no twilight!" Manon defends

"but we already watched that—9 times! , come on just this once" Sophia pleads

"finee" Manon sighs defeated , it is true that you all already watched twilight more than you can count

the doorbell rings , and in steps Lara how. great. you thought to yourself , the girls gave Manon a knowing look and giggles erupted

maybe you were the problem why can't you be happy for her

were you being selfish?

"damnnn okay Manon" Daniela says , winking at Manon

"hey you might scare her off , come in" Sophia says letting Lara in , she sat next to Manon well atleast when you left the sofa that is

—✧˖*°࿐

the rest of the day you just didn't feel like yourself , you were disassociated

"hey" Yoonchae greets as she sits next to you in the kitchen

"hii Yoon" you respond giving her a smile

"why aren't you out there ,were having fun!" the younger reasons

"jus' not feeling myself, you go back if you need anything just call me okay?" you said trying to brush her off

"that's not true" yoonchae pouts and crosses her arms

"please come outside—i want you to have fun too!" yoonchae follows

inevitably you agree since who can say no to yoonchae , not you

"finally!" Megan says out loud when she saw you go out

"we missed you!" Sophia jokes

"sorry" you apologize earning you nods of understanding

who found it most suspicious was Manon , you weren't like this at all , she noticed how you look like a defeated puppy just sitting there playing with your shirt

—✧˖*°࿐

7:00 pm

"guys I have to go" Lara says looking at the clock on her phone

the other girls try to make her stay but to no avail Lara had to leave

"see you again soon!" Megan says before Lara disappears behind the door

so instead of saying you were leaving you tried sneaking off when the others were busy cooking and watching movies

"ahem"

you hear someone behind you as you open the door

"I need to uhm- buy something - yeah" nope not working

Manon crosses her hands on her chest , having a questioning look on her face

"oh really?" she ask sarcastically

"okay you got me"

"why are you so distant recently, i feel like I did something to make that happen" The older frowns

"hey no you didn't do anything, i just—dont want to ruin what's perfect you know?" you replied not thinking about what she might think

"what do you mean?" she ask , her gears turning and trying to solve what you meant

"Manon I like you, I know you don't feel the same and for the longest time I tried hiding this feeling but it's so strong" you blurt out , you couldn't look at her at all , your eyes were glued to your hands which wee currently holding onto your phone

"you don't need to say anything I'll just go" you follow walking out , as Manon stood there in shock

—✧˖*°࿐

you tried everything crying, avoiding them , even as far as blocking them on your socials but nothing worked every time you breathe all you see is Manon

you haven't talked to anyone in a week , you ignored every calling out they tried

"y/n! wait up!" you hear someone behind you , you try to walk faster but eventually they caught up

"why have you been ignoring us?" Daniela says her chest heaving from running "this isn't even funny anymore" she follows

"I'm sorry just busy I guess" you shrugged hoping she would stop asking questions

"Megan heard what you told Manon last Friday , we know y/n—avoiding us will just make it weirder please talk to us" the latina begs , so they heard? , you couldn't even be mad at them cause thinking about it ignoring them was too much even for you

"I'm sorry — where are the others?" you ask , thinking about apologizing to each and every single one of them

"come" Daniela says holding your hand and running towards the arts room

—✧˖*°࿐

in the room was yoonchae who was drawing with Sophia

Megan who was on her phone probably watching tiktoks

and Manon just sitting there

"hey guys" the latina announced

everyone looks and was surprised to see you , they ran up to you hugging you telling you how much they miss you

"chill guys" you chuckle

"we missed you" yoonchae pouts and you hug her

"sorryy! , to make it up let's go to the mall I'll treat you guys" you said

"I'm busy" Manon buzzed , you were hurt but whatever

"oh. uhm okay , how about you guys?"

"I'm good " the others said

everything was weird Manon started ignoring you too , and partially it was your fault but was it really? when all you wanted was her to feel happy?

—✧˖*°࿐

"oh hey" you bump into Manon as you were buying some iced coffee

"hey , can we maybe talk?" Manon asks

you weren't ready and obviously she wasn't too but against your judgement you agreed, needing closure

"I'm sorry if I avoided you , I know how you feel about me and you know how I feel" Manon starts

"and I don't want us to drift because of that—i hope you don't hold any grudge against me and any of the girls" she follows with a smile on her face

"I'm sorry too , i wish you the best obviously, you know I can't leave you" you giggle

as stupid as it sounds you still stayed and befriend her , you loved Manon but if god didn't destined you two why force it? , surely there are other people who would love you the same way you loved Manon but until then your still waiting for the time you find that person.

HEY GUYS REMEMBER WHEN CHLOE WANTED MAX TO BE THE LAST THING SHE EVER SAW BEFORE DYING. BTW GUYS. REMEMBER WHEN CHLOE SAID “i’m never leaving you” AND “that’s okay we will, forever” AND “Max, i’ll always be with you”. GUYS GUYS GUYS HOLD ON REMEMBER WHEN CHLOE SPENT YEARS TALKING TO MAX IN HER DIARY BECAUSE SHE COULDN’T LET HER GO GUYS. AND WHEN SHE TOOK MAX BACK IN A HEARTBEAT BECAUSE SHE MISSED HER TOO MUCH. OH AND BTW REMEMBER HOW THEY WERE CHILDHOOD BEST FRIENDS AND GREW UP TOGETHER AND FELL IN LOVE AND ARE NOT LINKED ONLY BY A ‘trauma bond’. DO WE REMEMBER THAT. COLLECTIVELY.

Here's my controversial opinion; if you're trying to write Bruce as a non-abusive, good parent, you should also write him respecting his kids' privacy, boundaries, and not stalking&surveying them.

ummmmmmm guys this dungeons looking a little dark here..........................ummmm..... hello??? guys??

[volfoss]

it is beyond infuriating how anne rice seems to insist on marius being a positive force in anyone's life ever. like she can't fully commit to exploring the fact he groomed armand and has repeatedly taken away his consent for what marius thinks is best (take the end of TVA as an example) and just kind of flatly puts it in the narrative. there's not really much interest in how these horrific events make marius come across as the worst because EVERYONE loves him. for gods sake, lestat learns from armand exactly what marius did to him in TVL and then proceeds to go find marius and be super friendly to him in the same fucking book. even armand and pandora, two of the people who have MORE than enough right to hate him, do not. it doesnt feel like shes trying to explore the toxicity of the abusive dynamic he traps them in, it just is there. and like yeah ofc the toxic vampire romance series but i think that this should be handled with more care. and it is not ever really framed in a way that she is interested in exploring how marius should easily be one of the most horrific characters in this series because it kind of feels like sa/rape/grooming/other things of that sort are just put there to further plot and not to really get the respect that they deserve in a medium.

thinking about cinderlion kits and how hollytufts reaction to flywhisker and snaptooth leaving to become kittypets was to aggressively call them traitors

at the end of the day despite having a sibling, the vast majority of sentiments on this site about siblingship in both fiction and real life are deeply unrelatable to me and I study them like a bug

NOW I HEAR YOUR VOICE EVERYTIME THAT I THINK I’M NOT ENOUGH

[puppyeared]

[ayyponine]

not to be a milennial but harry potter and the prisoner of azkaban really is that bitch....

[anxiously-sidequesting]

To me personally malistaire is the funniest and most pathetic villain wizard101 has ever had AND I MEAN THAT SINCERELY!!! Between doomed children who have been manipulated, groomed, and isolated into becoming products of their environments, someone scorned who has been punished unfairly by having your biological heart torn out your chest and turning your children and all of reality against you to satiate their own ego, a nonhuman entity so powerful and so clueless they unintentionally threaten the lives of everyone around them, Malistaire FELL DOWN BRO. Like yeah you're bitchless now. You and me both. Get in line. Everyone in this room is bitchless. We are ALL living that ✨💅🏾💃🕺 Single Life™. You are a middle-aged man. Cope
