I don't know how to tween nor animate so I just draw it since the song has been stuck at my head. (1xPlayer AU my beloved)

Anyways here is me whole long yapping session abt the new 1xPlayer AU (which is also a Forsaken x Blocktales crossover) since the pre prologue released 👇 👇👇👇

1xPlayer AU --- An AU where Player was previously 1x1x1x1 but changed for the better.

1x wants to change. For a person who is Hatred himself, he somewhat develope more human emotions other than hate. He envied those people who understand such emotions. He didn't want what they have but instead they wanted to be like them. To be Happy. To be loved.

So by that, 1x decided to change their whole identity. With a new name called, Player. Things start off bad and any conversation with them is like talking to a very awkward teenager at their puberty (plus angry issues at that)... but they get better each year.

This whole ordeal happened before Builderman got kidnapped which is still far from the future. By that time 1xPlayer went on change for the better, no more destruction, no more hacking neither were they playing god.

A couple of years would go by with little but huge progress. 1xPlayer fought through. Keeping their hatred balanced and in control even finally communicating to other people but still their voice does caught people off guard by how deep it is in contrast to their face so they would try sounding a little higher.

By that time, they don't resemble anything close to 1x anymore. They're just, Player. From different clothes, way of speaking, and especially appearance.

But then, 1x wanted to actually step forward. Face an admin. Their friends would talk about a long awaited event, it was a chance to meet the one and only Builderman. Or David Baszucki as he goes by publicly now.

It took a few days to them to decide but over all decided to go. This was a one time opportunity for them to face the admins. The very beings they hate the most. 1x was even unsure whether or not HE was there but it was already too late. They have decided it already with their friends and they felt it was rude to cancel their plans.

Things go as the pre prologue goes until they got sucked in some time travel machine with the now kidnapped Builderman.

(In this AU Builderman will be reverted back to his old body therefore making Shedletsky know about his kidnapping. Ik some theories about Shedletsky being related to the kidnapping or IS the mysterious figure but that is not the case for plot reasons.)

Things go as planned except, they're back at their old body. Their 1x body. They soon realized they have been brought back to their past therefore their past identity.

They would be very troubled by this rummaging through to go back to their old identity. Maybe a panic attack as well. But then it came to him, Builderman is still in danger. If that's the case, Roblox is for sure doomed if they aren't doing anything.

Things settled down and he still had their powers. But, they didn't want to use it. They can't use it. They need to release their hatred to use it. And things won't go as plan if their hatred goes around freely after all most of their hatred are suppressed within them but very slowly relaxing.

But at least they have their own skills. They did have a sturdy ball with him for self defense. But they're more skilled with the sword.

Though they weren't close by the Roblox HQ. They need to go there. By that they went and teleported to a place they're familiar with, Bizville apartment, specifically their own apartment.

It was a little risky but it was the best they could do. Therefore they went there and teleported to the place before eventually meeting Terry.

Shedletsky will not deliver a letter to Player, but instead Shedletsky doesn't know Player at all. So their first meeting is the same but it's just different. (Ofcourse for plot reasons).

Things go like the flow, Shedletsky gives the sword after defeating the kids but It would be lie if Player just wanted to let Shedletsky die right there but they restrained themselves and saved him. They have changed afterall.

Everything happens like the game until the dreamworld. This where things go wrong. After facing Hatred their emotions became rampant. They weren't purified, they can't be purified but they survived, almost barely. Still, they couldn't touch the Ghostwalker. They had to get assistance from the Ghost Chef.

After the haunted manor happened, their hatred had been lingering especially after trying to purity it. Each demo, Player cannot properly maintain their hatred making them go back to their corrupted version (but Player tries to hide it) and be more apathetic. Though deep inside they're still holding up to at least save the future of Roblox.

Until the very last chapter, 1x couldn't hold it anymore and became what they used to be before. People don't know what happened to Player, what they know they just randomly disappeared after saving Builderman. Until the next day where 1x started going rampant that they forgot about our Hero (for a bit.)

Things go the way it was. 1x had disappeared once again and what is left is a long history. Until *DUN DUN* they all got forsaken lol!

Okay I took too long writing this. There are some stuffs I left out because I am lazy to write more right now so yeah.

Oh yeah, 1x4 was created by Shedletsky like in forsaken and is Telamon. You guys know the drill!

ANDDD one more thing--- Griefer has Player's cap, though its roughed up (like in the drawing), Griefer still kept it as remnants of Player who literally just disappeared like they never existed. Where he got it? Somewhere.

Okay cya until I post another drawing :P

Ruby: If we had a fighting-

Jaune: Yes.

Ruby: Jaune I didn't-

Jaune: No-no. We would be more profitable if we were a fighting game. And no, not a Naruto Ninja Storm rip-off, I mean BlazBlue, Guilty Gear, and Street Fighter game.

Ruby: Just say 2D fighting games.

Jaune: Whatever. Ruby, what are we known for?

Ruby: Our story.

Jaune: Our fight animation.

Ruby: And our-

Jaune: Bitch, our story sucks ass. The manga died. We're in Viz Media but we still have nothing going on. We might as well be stuck in limbo. And if we get volume 10 confirmed we have to do damage control and advertisement. Our fan base could help but still.

Ruby: Okay rude. But why not like Naruto games?

Jaune: Hold on. …. ….Okay my bad, Naruto Ninja Storm is a good idea. I mean people can finally explore the streets of Remnant and fight against other characters in a 2v2. At least we can go with the official fourth game where we can switch characters.

Ruby: Thank you.

Jaune: But the reason I say 2d is because of how many fighters we could have. Hell, your team and Neo were in 2d. Remember BlazBlue Crosstag? You all played well. It's a good start considering you already laid out the bases.

Ruby: Yeah.

Jaune: Remember BlazBlue and Guilty Gear are more known for their fighting formulas, not their stories. Even though Guilty Gear might have it better than BlazBlue. 

Ruby: Based on opinion. To each his own.

Jaune: And with so many characters with their own lives and personalities, seeing that in a game where you can play as them and catch up with their lives. It would be amazing.

Ruby: Alright. Then who would be-

Jaune: Salem.

Ruby: Yeah she is a one-note villain. But what about-

Jaune: Again so many characters any of us can be the final boss. 

Ruby: You're right. You're right.

Jaune: And why stop there? We could have beat 'em up games and J-RPG games. We could have been Kingdom Hearts. Dynasty Warriors. Tales of series-type games. Someone made a fan-made game with that formula in mind and it is still better than our actual game. We have the potential.

Ruby: Damn.

Jaune: I'm just saying Ruby if we're going to be stuck in a non-productive domain we might as well think of other ways to profit off our brand. Just saying.

Ruby: Damn. 

Jaune: Like only five of you were in the game. Which is sad.

Ruby: It wasn't that bad. Besides, it was a BlazBlue game.

Jaune: So Persona and Under Night in birth, somehow managed to get almost all their major players in the game. Meanwhile, we only have five. And Neo was only added because she was popular in our show. 

Ruby: Your point?

Jaune: BlazBlue Crosstag had BlazBlue, Persona, Under Night in Birth, and you, Rwby. They have almost all the major characters from three games while you have a measly five. So instead of adding more Rwby characters they used the remaining four slots for other characters. Characters who had nothing to do with the story or the brand. It is a false advertisement. 

Ruby: Wow Jaune. Are you mad?

Jaune: I'm saying Qrow, Cinder, Penny, or my team could have been in that game. Hell, why not Roman? Just saying wasted slots.

Yu: Yeah, Ruby. He has a point.

Ruby: Yu.

Ragna: Like a lot of our characters were in the game. It might as well be another BlazBlue game.

Ruby: Ragna.

Hyde: Yeah they did y'all dirty. Like most if not all of our characters were in that game.

Yu: Ours too. 

Jaune: Like I said, false advertisement.

Hi :> I really liked your fic "paper hearts" I have an idea for a sequel... So, what would happen if one day the reader and Barrage met up with Jake and the other high school bullies again? I want to see them shit their pants when they see that Calvin is no longer a nerd, but a huge, muscular and attractive military man, who also got married and had children with the reader *maniacal laughter* thanks in advance and I apologize if my English is incorrect. Greetings! 😄

“I’m not a Nerd anymore”

𖤐Pairing: Barrage x Wife! Reader

𖤐Pronouns: She/Her

𖤐AN: I got you boo! (In case you haven’t read it yet paper-hearts)

𖤐Warnings: fluff, wholesome, language, children, married couple, more use of Calvin, kissing, teasing,

𖤐Summary: After graduating their high school Y/n and Barrage go back for a reunion running into a few…familiar faces

————

————

Calvin's mission since his marriage with Y/n was to always make her happy, ever since that day in High School, Valentine's day, he's always had this thought to always put his girl first, and today should have been like any other.

"Cal, come on," Y/n calls from the stairs. He looks at himself in the slightly fogged mirror, he just got out of the shower and tonight was the first ever High School reunion.

He did not want to face all those people again, all those people who made fun of him, those people who were on Jake's side, the day where he was beat up for confessing to the girl he loves so deeply, he hated those people, he doesn't want to go, but Y/n...she wants to.

She wants to see her old friends again, she wanted to catch up with everyone, she wanted to go, she just needed her husband to join.

Now, Cal wishes he was stuck doing a mission far from home, and he sends his wishes to his wife, but no...he's stuck.

"Cal?" Y/n comes into the bathroom now, seeing her husband leaning on the counter still with a towel around his waist. "You're not even dressed."

"Baby please, I don't wanna go," he begs again.

"I want to go," she gives Cal those pleading, puppy dog eyes that he can't stand because he always folded.

"But-"

"No, you promised," she reminds him. He did though, he made a promise to her last week, she knew about this high school reunion and he promised that he will go with her, he'll ask his parents to watch the kids while they could go and hang out with their old friends and then the night before and day of, Calvin started to panic and start having those flashbacks back to his high school days.

"I know I did but I can't-"

"Cal for me...please..." He takes a deep breath and then just nods his head, Y/n knows it's hard on him, he had a rough time, she feels bad of course, but Calvin isn't a scared, scrawny, high nerdy boy anymore, he's a fucking buff, scary, tatted Military man, who still geeks out about a new Marvel movie or an new Anime show coming out soon.

As Cal was ready, he goes to Y/n to see if she has any details for him or that she might want to change.

She loosens his black tie, rolled his sleeves to his elbows and told him to carry the blazer just in case.

"Alright, you kids behave," Y/n says, bending down to her children who ran to her to give her one last hug and Calvin thanked his parents once again before leaving.

Calvin's hands were tight around the stirring wheel. Y/n could see his knuckles were white, she slides her hand onto his hand.

"Cal?"

"I'm just nervous."

"It's okay, I'll be there with you, the whole time."

Whole time his butt, the minute you entered the old high school gym that was decorated as if there was a Gala going on. Everyone dressed so nicely and either carried wine glasses, whiskey glasses or thin champagne flutes.

And like High school dances, Cal was off on his own, in the corner away from everyone. He looked at Y/n who seemed to having a good time laughing with some old friends and hugging old football players she use to hang out with.

He stayed in the corner, him and that corner were friends at this point. Then there was an uproar. People walked to the entrance and saw Jake...Cal's enemy and bully.

He was causing an uproar but the thing was...Jake looked awful, Cal could see the plastic in Jake's cheeks, nose, and Botox in his forehead.

"Goddamn he looks awful," a group near Calvin whispers.

"Money might buy you happiness but it can't buy you looks."

"He looks like a Ken doll, and not a hot one."

Cal sips his whiskey as Jake walks through the crowd, Y/n didn't even notice Jake whatsoever, she could care less, which made Cal very happy that she didn't give Jake a glance.

Unlike Jake, who was still eyeing Y/n up as if they were still in high school.

Calvin could feel his blood boil when Jake would eye-fuck Y/n. Calvin then starts marching towards Y/n his arm immediately going around her waist giving Jake the most scariest death glare he's ever given someone.

Jake just scoffs and walks away, guess he didn't know that, this guy was the scrawny little high school nerd, he use to bully.

"Something wrong?" Y/n looks up at her husband.

"Jake," Cal says, he looks down at Y/n giving her soft eyes.

"Oh he's here?" She sounded annoyed and disgusted.

"Oh Cal, how are you? You look-"

"Hot."

"Sexy."

"Different." Y/n's old friends said, jaws dropped, making Y/n giggle knowing her man is hot, and it kind of made Calvin awkward, but he scratches the back of his neck and gives an awkward chuckle.

"Uh thanks," he says with a smile.

Calvin stuck to Y/n's side and then when he finally decided to leave her side, he goes to the drink station, and had asked for a glass of whiskey and some champagne.

"Little nerdy Calvin," Cal knew that voice, he wish he didn't. He turns and sees Jake's plastic face.

"Jake," Calvin says, raising his eyebrows.

"Wow...you look good, Calvin...really good," he chuckles. "Say Y/n, she seems hotter...must be that pregnancy glow."

"My wife isn't pregnant." Calvin says, rolling his eyes, rich and stupid, dangerous combo.

"Wife?! So, she did marry you..."

"Listen Jake, I don't know if you're trying to get under my skin, about my wife and I, but I'm not a nerd anymore. So, if you are over here to make fun of me or shit, I am not interested-"

"Well, why is Y/n still friends with me on Facebook?"

"Maybe she feels pity on you, Jake...I don't care what my wife does because I trust her...she is loyal to me."

"She still likes me, I already know, you are infuriated by me," he chuckles.

"How so, Jake?"

"Because I have more money then you can even imagine."

"That may be true Jake, but I could careless. My wife loves me, I have two kids with her, and I'm not filled with plastic and Botox in my face to where anyone hardly recognizes me." Calvin then pushes past Jake and goes back to his wife.

"Hi." She says.

"Champagne," he says.

"What's wrong?" She knew something was up.

"Nothing." Calvin seemed pissed.

"Jake?"

"Yeah," he says, seeming annoyed with the damn name.

The night was coming to an end and Calvin is helping Y/n into the truck, Y/n was a bit tipsy, and Calvin found it cute that his blazer basically was swallowing her up.

"Cal, can we go home, I miss my kids," she yawns.

"We're going hon, but I'm picking the kids up tomorrow," he tell her.

"Can you fuck me when we get home?"

"Jesus, baby," he chuckles, shutting the door and getting into the drivers side.

"You're so hot, Kelly and Charlotte were right, and so damn sexy too," she smiles, biting her thumbnail.

"Calm down, baby," he says.

"But I want you-"

"Yeah, I know," he says, driving down the road. Y/n rolls on her side who looked at him, one hand on the wheel and the other biting the joint of his finger.

Her hand then goes to his muscular thigh.

"Baby."

"You're so buff...when's the last time we fucked?"

"Y/n."

"Oh first name, serious," she says, taking her hand back.

"No, no, not like that," he grabs her hand again and placed it back on his thigh. "Sorry, I'm just trying to focus." He says.

"So can we?"

"We'll see."

Getting home, like Calvin predicated, Y/n had passed out in the truck and Calvin was carrying her in bridal style till he reaches their shared bedroom, kicking the door shut, he placed Y/n on her side of the bed, taking his blazer back and he removes his tie, and shirt and unbuckled his belt and pants, but he left them on and walked back to the bed.

He helps Y/n up and starts removing her dress.

"You-You're a pervert...m-my husband will beat y-your ass," she mumbles into his shoulder.

"Baby, it's me, I am your husband," he chuckles. "I'm just trying to get you in comfortable clothes," he says. She just mumbles and whines, she just wants to be in her bed.

Calvin then puts a large t-shirt on Y/n, and laid her back on her side of the bed, Calvin then drops the covers on her and he changes into his own pajamas.

He snuggles closer to Y/n, kissing the back of her neck, resting his arm over her waist and the other moving her hair off her neck.

"Good night, love," he says.

"Good night," she mumbles back. "Thank you for coming w-with me," she hiccups.

"No problem," he says, kissing the back of her neck again, and snuggled into the back of her neck.

Animation vs Life SMP

alright so i said in the tumblr community if we got new life series and influencer arc ep 3 on the same day i'd post my (currently very minimal and disorganized) thoughts for animation vs life series! and uh. we did indeed get new life series today soooooo yeah.

thoughts below the cut cuz it will likely be a bit long shgsldjf

Explanation of life smp

so! for those of you that don't know what life series/life smp is, it's basically hardcore but you have (usually) 3 lives instead of just one (there's been 2 seasons that don't follow that exact idea). when you hit your last life (referred to as your "red life") you get to be hostile and kill others outside of specific circumstances. last person alive wins! there's been 5 seasons so far (and a vaugely canon april fools ep), with the 6th season starting today, leading to me writing this here.

a lot of folks also add in some additional lore with these beings called the watchers, with the lore being that they're the ones organizing the games and kinda keeping the players locked in this loop of death games. i think one of the content creators has his own lore involving the watchers, martyn inthelittlewood.

if you want an explanation of ava/avm i can't type that here or we'd be here all day so instead i'll just link this post i made a while back that should help explain some stuff

The foundation

essentially this au starts with the idea of what if instead of mcyt-ers, the watchers decided to nab some silly sticks for their death game instead? the current lineup that they grabbed is:

Vic, Chosen, Dark, Second, Green, Blue, Yellow, Red, Purple, and Mango. i might add the mercs if i want more people for more complexity, but i'm still in the baby stages of ideation here.

thing is though, the watchers want to have a pawn member actually in the games, so they can manipulate events the way they want to, whenever they need to. so.....

(yeah that's right i made drawings to go along with this explanation)

ok so it isn't just because they're also purple, it's because they seemed the best candidate in terms of skill and such. cunning and resourceful, but still desperate for approval in a way, so just breadcrumb some praise and you should be able to get them to do what you need them to do right?

i mean purple does eventually realize something's up and doesn't listen to the watchers as much (when they can get away with it).

purple's changes

of course, being made a watcher does come with some changes, external and internal.

external, they get these floating eyes around their head, and the watcher symbol on their back. both of them are usually not visible, only really showing up in low light (light level 3 or less) or when under extreme stress. somehow no one's really questioned it? i mean if you're stuck in a death game (that you don't know is a loop of death games), your friend suddenly getting a bunch of eyes isn't a major concern.

what does garner attention (esp cuz these can't be hidden), is the fact that purple's elytra have turned into full on feathered wings (also with the watcher symbol). they don't allow for flight in the games (unfair advantage), but they do serve as a more... permanent reminder of where purple's ultimate loyalties should lie.

(in case you can't tell, i'm working with majority morally dark watchers here. there are some that don't like the idea, but most of them are more than down for it).

ok jumping ahead a bit we're talking curses!

what's a life series without some curses and patterns, eh? i do not have many right now, but i do know what the biggest one is, i'll do that last.

mango gets a curse to always fail to protect a close ally from death at least once

vic is cursed to always have one death that was preventable

blue has sort of a reverse of mangos, she will have at least one death protecting an ally.

ok starry but what about the canary curse?

i'm glad you asked. who's the one that always runs into battle first in ava, and is therefore the one to always die first?

THAT'S RIGHT. HECK YOU *CANARIES YOUR RED*.

i realize there's other characters that could've fit but at the same time canary red just hits so much more to me. granted the watchers didn't know for sure who their canary would be during the first game, but once red died they just collectively went 👀 and hit him with the curse.

after the first game, the ends of red's bandana become stylized to look like wings, and anyone who knows how to look can see faint images of canary wings on his shoulders. only purple knows the exact reason why.

hey so are they just stuck forever or what

uhhh haven't fully thought this part through. HOWEVER! i do know the main focus characters of this au! purple is clearly one of them, since they have a connection to the watchers (kinda against their will). the other primary focus character... well a lot of folks headcanon that the winners get to remember the past game(s) as a reward for their victory, and the first winner is someone who's more than used to dealing with having an urge in the back of their mind to kill.

basically woe, platonic bugduo upon ye. dark wins the first game, learns about the watchers and stuff, and decides to work with purple on trying to break the cycle. also! for those of you who know how third life ended take that but instead it's chosen and dark. tragic siblings.

(i guess dark did wind up fulfilling their code to destroy the chosen on- *gets exploded*)

other misc things/the scenarios imagined

they would go through all the current games, i don't have many ideas for limited life though (i've only watched all of third and secret life, i need to catch up on the others)

i realized that the boogey curse session from secret life could be very interesting to deal with (blue would be the one to start with the boogey curse), i might write that one if i ever write things for this

purple realizing at the start of limited life that everyone had their memories of third life erased (except dark, they realize dark knows but maybe by that point the alliances are already made)

purple gets to go feral at least once as a treat. is it the boogey curse? red life urges? the watchers? who knows but they get to go feral

as i said, dark is able to resist the red life urges a bit better due to experience with the mission code (which is somewhat suppressed by the watchers, they don't want to let their game be ruined by something like that). also remember how scott didn't kill anyone while affected by the boogey curse in limited life yeah dark does that and it's actually the worst

red notices the wings, he knows about canaries but he doesn't know the full significance of them.

idk what associations the winners would get (i'm still thinking about the different winners at this point anyways). I think yellow would win one, maybe also chosen or second...?

unlikely alliances, unlikely alliances as far as the eye can see. double life especially

PLEASE if you have any ideas or questions come yell at me in my ask box, i would like to talk more about this and i'm curious what thoughts y'all might have

[small-sinclair]

More sinclair slasher band au ideas?? Take ur time :33

Sinclair Slasher Band AU!

Bo once had an arm wrestling contest with a fan during the show. The winner had to kiss the loser.

Vincent and Lester have this thing where they hide random shit all over stage like rubber ducks, stars, candle ghosts—Bo once found a Pokemon ball.

Speaking of Pokemon, all three play each other during stage set up one time.

Lester married a couple in the middle of a show. Bo was the best man while Vincent was the maid of honor.

The road is long and tiring, so they make stops at small town bars and restaurants where they know not many people know who they are. Sometimes, they play at a bar for free just like they used to do! They would bring a whole town together and just party until the police is called.

Lester has a lucky charm in his back pocket. It’s a rabbit’s foot.

Vincent has a base that has the Starry Night painted on it. It also glows in the dark.

Lester has a music teaching degree. When he’s not on the road, he’s a substitute teacher for the district. He’s actually really smart when it comes to music.

If Bo and Vincent are vibing well, so well with each other, they have a jam session in the show. Not every jam session is the same and it’s a rare occurrence.

They do this fundraiser called Rocking Paws. If for animal shelters and animal hospitals. Because Jonesy is a rescue dog in this au, they try to help other puppies and kittens find a home.

Speaking of little animals, they did a modeling calendar called Rockin’ Claws. It’s a calendar filled with different slasher band players posing with little animals (yes, some are shirtless). May is Vincent holding Australian Shepherds while by sheets of music. September is Lester in a pile of different pups with the biggest smile on his face. November is Bo in his mechanic blue uniform, but he has the blue sleeves wrapped around his waist, showing off his dirty white shirt, with a black kitten sitting on his shoulder and two black huskies at his feet; he’s looking over a car with a smug of oil on his face.

Speaking of which, Bo still works on cars. He fixes the bus sometimes and keeps a set of his blue uniform. To sober up or clear his head, he goes to a car shop nearby and ask if he could work for a while. He finds his best melodies while working on a car.

One time, Bo had the bus pull over heading out of a show to help a group of fans change the tire on the car and checked the fluids.

Before a show started, Bo and Vincent brought out a chess table and played in front of a crowd.

A group of fans all kissed Vincent while he was signing autographs. When they left, his face was covered in different shades of red and pink lipsticks. He was not one to complain.

Bo is actually good friends with Brahms Heelshire. He’s featured in some of Brahms’s albums playing piano or guitar. He doesn’t sing, though. They also kissed and had a very heated make-out session.

Lester went missing for a few hours once and came back with little herd of raccoons and other critters.

One time at an outdoor concert, the stage caught on fire because a flame device malfunctioned. As they were hurrying to leave, all three heard a fan screaming for help because they were stuck. Bo and Vincent ran back into the flames to get them out while Lester held back their friends from going back in. The twins got the fan out, but Bo’s back got burned by hot metal. After that, flame devices were not allowed in a Sinclair show.

♡❀˖⁺. ༶ ⋆˙⊹❀♡♡❀˖⁺. ༶ ⋆˙⊹❀♡♡❀˖⁺. ༶ ⋆

Oh, fuck me. 

Those were words Seungmin thought when he opened the door to reveal the pouring rain outside. He regretted not listening to Jisung when he said it would rain heavily later in the afternoon as he left for Changbin's. Mentally cursing himself out, knowing he couldn't drive home as planned, Seungmin sighed as he closed the door and walked back to the living room, throwing himself on the couch. Seungmin would've gone upstairs to Bin's room to bother him, but his hyung had left a few minutes before the rain started to pick up Jeongin. Pulling out his phone, Seungmin texts Changbin, letting him know that he is staying until the rain dies down and for him to stay safe. He puts his phone away, leans over, and grabs the TV remote. There wasn't much on the TV, so Seungmin watched anime to pass the time.

"Binnie, where the fuck did you put my gaming headset- Oh shit, Hi, um… Seungmin, right?"

Completely engrossed in the anime, Seungmin suddenly jumps when the soft-spoken voice speaks, pulling him out of his trance. He turns to see Y/n, Changbin's roommate, standing at the bottom of the stairs. Seungmin's heart skipped a beat as he took in her appearance. Y/n was wearing an oversized hoodie that belonged to Changbin and biker shorts. The hoodie engulfed her petite frame, making her look delicate. Her hair was still wet from a recent shower, and the sweet fragrance of vanilla filled the air as she approached him. Seungmin couldn't help but admire her beauty, noticing her glasses slightly fogged up from the shower's steam. He found himself getting lost in her sparkling eyes and felt his heart racing. Although he had met her at Changbin's housewarming party a few months back, Y/n looked different, and Seungmin couldn't resist but admire her beauty. 

"Yeah, And you're Y/n, right." 

Y/n positions herself comfortably on the couch beside Seungmin, crossing her legs as she nods in agreement with him. Seungmin pauses the series he is watching and turns to face her fuller, a hint of shyness creeping onto his face. 

"By chance, where is my wonderful hyung? The bastard misplaced my gaming headset, and I need it to play Overwatch with a couple of my friends."

Ignoring the first part of her question, Seungmin's excitement beams through when Y/n mentions she plays his favorite game. He usually plays with Changbin and Jeongin, but it has been a while since they've played. He primarily plays alone or with Felix and Chan, though they are more severe players. 

"Wait, you play Overwatch too?"

Seungmin's voice was filled with so much excitement that Y/n couldn't help but giggle. She got up from the cozy couch and approached the stairs. She looked back at Seungmin, still sitting on the sofa, staring back at her.

"If you want, I can show you my gaming pc setup. It's not much, but it's something," she offers as she continues to walk up the stairs.

With a slight hesitation, Seungmin followed Y/n up the stairs to her room, still feeling shy around her. But as he stepped inside, his eyes widened with amazement. The room was spacious and decorated with album covers and paintings, gifts that his other hyung, Hyunjin, had given her. The LED lights wrapped around the ceiling, casting a warm, inviting orange glow that made the room feel cozy and welcoming.

Looking around more into Y/n's room, his eyes were immediately drawn to her gaming setup. It looked like a gamer's paradise with a customized PC, fantastic LED lighting system, custom gaming keyboard, and sleek wireless mouse in pink and black. Y/n's setup was impressive, nonetheless. While one of her monitors had Overwatch already launched, the other screen had a Word document open, with the title reading "Kiss me in the Rain. "But before Seungmin could see more, Y/n quickly minimized the tab, leaving him curious and intrigued. He couldn't help but wonder what that document was about.

"You write as well?"

Y/n's heart skipped a beat as she looked down, realizing she had been caught red-handed. Hot flashes crept up her cheeks as she realized that no one, not even Changbin, had ever laid eyes on her writing. It wasn't that she was embarrassed about her work, but the fact that she had always thought of writing as her own private sanctuary, where she could feel vulnerable and have no judgment. Writing was also her second safe place, her go-to whenever she had a panic attack, with Changbin being her first. When distressed, Changbin would soothe her with warm hugs and cuddles until she felt better.

Y/n settles into her gaming chair, her fingers tapping nervously on the armrest. "To be honest," she says, "writing is my go-to when I'm anxious or want to feel vulnerable for a while. There's something about putting pen to paper that just helps me calm down." Seungmin couldn't help but be intrigued by her words. Though the pair rarely spoke when he did come over to visit, it felt nice to be able to interact with her on this level. Not wanting to bombard her with more questions, he simply asked more about the story she was writing. 

"What's this story about?"

"It's about two friends trying to complete their bucket lists before the summer ends, and they have to go off to college. They devised a plan to complete each of their bucket list dreams one by one until the very last day of summer. On the last day, the FMC added one more thing to the bucket list she wanted completed before leaving: for the MMC, her newly developed crush, to kiss her in the rain while it was pouring out."

"Kinda sounds like how it is right now," both laugh as Seungmin looks out the window. The rain is still pouring hard outside, and there is no sign of stopping soon. Y/n's phone vibrates as she turns her chair to grab it off her desk. It was a message from Changbin.  

"Well, Binnie isn't coming back tonight. He says the roads are bad, so he's staying at Jeongin's. Which sucks cause I still don't have my damn headset," Y/n pouts as she puts her phone back on the desk. Without saying a word, Seungmin gets up from the beanbag chair and exits the room, only to appear minutes later, handing Y/n the headset he took from Bin's room.

"I keep a spare one in Hyung's room whenever I stay over; here use it.”

"Oh, Minnie, you didn't have to."

Minnie... Feeling his face turn red with the new nickname Y/n gave him, he continued to hold out the headset in front of her. 

"Seriously, take it. Besides, I wanna see you play. I have to see what my competition looks like."

Without backing down from Seungmin's challenge, Y/n confidently takes the headset, puts it on her head, and connects the aux to her PC. As the match starts, Seungmin is taken aback by her intense focus. He is fascinated by her gameplay, which is different from his own. Despite her unique approach to defense and combat, she continues to win match after match.

Seungmin sat back on the beanbag chair as Y/n continued her winning streak. However, he wasn't watching her play; his eyes fixed on her. He couldn't help but notice the small details of her behavior - the way she would scrunch her nose to keep her glasses from sliding down her face, the little victory dances she did when she won matches, and the lightning-quick movements of her hand when her hair fell over her eyes. He was amazed by her skill and grace, and he felt a sense of awe and admiration wash over him.

But as he watched her, Seungmin realized his feelings for Y/n were changing. A strange sensation began to stir in his stomach like a flock of butterflies had taken flight inside him. Feeling flustered and confused, Seungmin tapped Y/n on the arm and excused himself. He ran out of her room and hurried downstairs to make an urgent phone call to the only person he could think of who might help him figure out what to do next.

"Hey Min, what's up," Binnie answers, yawning mid-sentence.

"What do you do when you like someone?"

"What?"

"Changbin, I know you heard me. Answer my question," Seungmin demands. 

"It's Y/n, isn't it? See, I knew it from the first day you met her. Your eyeballs practically almost fell from your face," Changbin teased. There was nothing but silence and embarrassment as the banter continued. 

"Jesus, Bin can you shut the fuck up for a minute and help me, please," Seungmin practically begs his hyung. It was rare for Seungmin to say please, nonetheless, curse at anyone. This was serious for him. 

"Okay, okay, sorry, I'll stop," Changbin laughs. "What exactly do you like about her?"

Seungmin paused, taking a moment as he tried to collect his thoughts. Y/n is kind-hearted and gentle, with a soft-spoken voice that makes him feel safe. Her writing was outstanding, and he hung on every word she said. However, it wasn't just her mind that he was drawn to. There was something undeniably alluring about her physical presence as well. The way her hair fell in soft waves around her face and her eyes lit up when she laughed - every little detail about her seemed to captivate him.

Seungmin's heart was heavy with emotion, and he knew he couldn't keep it to himself any longer. "Hyung," he began, his voice barely above a whisper, his eyes darting around to ensure Y/n was out of earshot. "I can't help but feel drawn to her. She's like a dream come true, the perfect match for me. Changbin, I didn't expect to fall for her so quickly, and I don't know how to handle these feelings. What should I do?"

"Tell her how you feel. Knowing Y/n, she would be flattered hearing this. Oh, just to give you a confidence boost—you didn't hear it from me—but when everyone left after the housewarming, she thought you were the cutest out of all the boys." 

When Seungmin heard that, a bright smile that stretched from ear to ear was plastered on his face. It indeed gave him a boost to follow his heart. Before ending the call with Changbin, he asked for one more thing from Seungmin. 

"Just don't hurt her, Min. You both mean a lot to me and if things don't go well with you guys, I refuse to take sides. Plus, I don't want to fight you for hurting my best friend; you are too soft and cute to hit." 

"I won't, I promise."

Trying to contain his happiness, Seungmin quickly runs up the stairs. Ideas on how he could tell Y/n how he felt started going off like fireworks until he thought of the perfect one. He softly opens Y/n's door just as she stops playing OW. Instead, she had the same document open and was typing away. Feeling like she was being watched, she turned her chair around only to meet Seungmin's soft gaze. She softly smiles and asks, "Everything okay, you were gone for a while. I didn't make you nervous with my gaming skills, did I?"

Chuckling at her joke, Seungmin shakes his head as he approaches her.

"I was just telling Binnie I was staying the night since it's still raining out," Seungmin lied. Though the rain was starting to die out a bit, the roads weren't safe to drive in. Suddenly, Seungmin reaches out for Y/n's hand, pulling her out of her chair and her room. Confused with what was happening, Y/n couldn't help but question what was going through his mind as they both walked down the stairs, heading towards the house's back door. 

"Minnie, what are you doing?" Y/n asked as he let go of her hand and opened the door to reveal the rain outside. Though it wasn't as hard as at the beginning of the afternoon, it was still pouring down at a decent rate. 

"When you mentioned your story earlier and how the friends had things on their bucket list they wanted to complete, I realized that I had some of my own I have never completed. And well, playing in the rain is one of them. So I was wondering if you wanted to help me with that," Seungmin's cheeks turn bright red as he extends his hand towards her. Without a second thought, Y/n grabs his hand as the pair goes outside into the rain. 

As the chilly raindrops cascaded from the overcast sky, Y/n and Seungmin stood opposite each other in the backyard. They gazed at each other with wide grins and intertwined their hands, feeling the warmth from their palms. They began to spin slowly in a circle, their movements cautious at first, and then they picked up speed, their feet sliding on the slick grass. As Y/n lost her footing, Seungmin swiftly grasped her by the waist and pulled her toward him to prevent her from falling. Although the darkness enveloped them, Y/n's cheeks flushed a bright red at the proximity of their bodies.

"Is this okay?" Seungmin asked, trying to read her face to see if she was uncomfortable. The last thing he wanted was to make her uneasy, ruining his chances of possibly being with her. Y/n smiled as she nodded. She wrapped her arms around his neck, softly swaying. The two continued to sway slowly, staring into each other's eyes without saying a word. The moment couldn't be perfect for Seungmin as Y/n, their eyes now connected. 

"As much as I want to continue dancing in the rain, I want to tell you something. That phone call with Binnie-hyung wasn't about me staying the night, though I know he would be okay with either way. It was about you," Seungmin starts to explain. Y/n's face turns into shock, and she tries to figure out if she did anything wrong. Seungmin must've picked up on what she was thinking and started to chuckle. 

"I want you to know that you haven't done anything wrong. In fact, you have done something that I didn't think was possible. It's difficult to express myself, but I want to take a chance. Y/n, I have strong feelings for you. I understand this may seem sudden, especially since this is our first time hanging out alone. However, there is something about you that draws me towards you. There is so much more to learn about you and I want to know everything about you- your likes, dislikes, fears, and dreams. I want to be there for you in every possible way imaginable. You don't have to say anything now; I don't expect you to feel the same way as I do. I simply wanted to tell you how I feel before I get inside of my own head." 

Y/n took a moment to process everything that had been said and looked down for a moment. She started catching feelings for Seungmin too, whose shy and calming manner perfectly fit her sometimes crazy personality. Looking back into his eyes, she noticed that his now wet hair covered most of his vision, so she softly pushed it away, revealing her cheeky smile. She was going to ask him something that the FMC wanted done in her story.

"I also have a bucket list I didn't get to complete. Do you mind helping me," Y/n asked.

"Sure, what is it?"

"Kiss me in the rain."

Seungmin's heart races as he looks at the girl he confessed to. Without wasting another precious moment, he gently takes her hand, his fingers intertwining with hers. He can feel the warmth of her skin against his as he pulls her closer, his other hand cupping the back of her head as he leans in for a kiss.

The rain slowly begins to let up, creating a serene backdrop for their first kiss. Seungmin's lips are soft and tender against hers. As the last few drops of rain trickle down, Seungmin finally pulls away.

He doesn't want to let go of her just yet, so he takes her hand in his, holding it tightly as they both catch their breath. Their eyes meet, as he is the first one to speak. 

"So, I assume you feel the same way then.”

"Yeah, I do. And by the way, you don't have to ask; I'm yours now, Minnie."

As soon as she responded, he couldn't help but smile, feeling a rush of warmth in his chest. He pulled her in without hesitation for another passionate kiss, their lips meeting perfectly harmoniously.

After their little moment, the couple realized they were soaked from the rain, so they decided to change into dry, clean clothes for the rest of the night. They spent most of their time playing Overwatch together, with short intermissions in between as Seungmin helped Y/n with her story. 

When morning arrived, and the roads were clear, Changbin came home and peeked into Y/n's room. He saw Seungmin sleeping beside Y/n, with his arms wrapped around her. Her head was resting comfortably on his chest. Changbin smiled and took out his phone to send a picture to the boys' group chat. He knew Seungmin might be annoyed with him later, but for now, he was happy to see his friend with his dream girl.

YAPPING ABOUT SCULK WOOOOO

i have this weird obsession with the deep dark. every time i start a new world, it calls out to me, like it's where i belong.

it all started back in early-ish 2023, when the animator for dan bull's "quiet, please" (warden rap) created a sculk themed smp to go along with the song. sculk could spawn anywhere, and spread on its own. based on the strength of the players on the server, mobs would have special abilities, and at a certain level, wardens could spawn at night like any other monster.

there was this roleplay that went on, about someone finding a "sculk soup", and taking it to their lab (or smth along those lines, i wasn't invited i just read the chat) and someone ended up drinking it, who we'll call 'drey' (he was the host's younger brother btw)

he ended up getting sone sort of infection that turned him into a sort of mini-warden (more on that later), with a strong drive to protect the sculk. his first words upon being fully overcome by the infection?

"want some soup?"

there were no takers. but can you guess who came barreling to the plaza for some sculky suspicious stew? me :3

turns out it had lasting effects that stuck even after the smp closed down.

anyway, i just thought it would be funny to be the only taker. i took the soup, and then let the spores eat my brain. after my magical girl transformation, me and drey reviled in our newfound power, and then drey went on to recruit other members of the smp to the way of the sculk. this is where the racism arc began.

everyone was fighting while my dumbass just sat in my house writing in my stupid girly diary with a fuzzy pen about my violent hallucinations and the hot wardens in my area. i can't remember all the details, but after a lot of fighting, a truce was called.

fast forward a month or so later, i start a sculk cult of my own, with a mini ancient city built by me. i ended up writing a whole biological analysis on the sculk creatures, which was unfortunately lost when the server was closed down, but i still have a good general idea of what it talked about.

That being said,

SCULK BIOLOGY

Sculk is a parasitic, mold-like fungus, generally found in deep caves, emitting a blue fluorescent glow. While beautiful from a distance, close contact without proper protection can pose serious risk. While most fungi are decomposers, sculk tends to go for living prey in order to spread, often favoring humans as its primary means of reproduction. It can enter a human host's body via inhalation, injestion, through an uncovered wound, or even enlongated physical contact, where it will begin the process to take over the host's body and mind.

STAGE 1. The host will start to notice symptoms such as itching, numbness, or chest and stomach pain, depending on how the sculk made its way into the host. These symptoms will start to start to devolve into those reminiscent of a flu, including, but not limited to;

-High fever

-Nausea and vomiting

-Sore throat and consistent coughing

-Dry, flaking skin and/or rashes

STAGE 2. Depending on where the sculk started in the body, the sculk will start to feed off of the corresponding areas. The host might notice unusual weight loss, and if they're experiencing rashes, a blueish discharge seeping out of them.

STAGE 3. Sculk starts to spread in patches on the host's skin. This stage is extremely painful, as at this point, the sculk starts to directly attack the host's nervous system, causing significant damage in order to numb the host.

STAGE 4. The sculk starts to take hold of the brain. It starts by forcing it to release mass amounts of dopamine to distract the host. At this point, the host's sense of touch is gone, unable to feel pain, as the sculk has near fully consumed their body.

STAGE 5. The host starts to experience severe memory loss, and begins to exhibit unusual behavior, such as extreme paranoia and heightened aggression. They start to feel the overwhelming need to wander into a cave, and return to the sculk, believing it's the only way they will be at peace. They will find a patch of sculk, lie down in it, and allow it to consume what remains of their body, and to absorb their soul.

The sculk surrounding the area the host dies in will condense into a catalyst, allowing sculk to further spread. Their soul will be stored in a nearby sculk shrieker, where it lay dormant for up to hundreds of years. As the soul rests, it grows stronger with time. And when the time comes, the soul will be granted a new physical form once the shrieker is disturbed by an outside force, causing the reborn creature of sculk to rise from the earth, known as 'sculklins'. These creatures are covered head to toe in sculk, dawning blue fluorescent antler-like tendrils on either side of their head, commonly having exposed bones on their arms and legs, and are completely blind. But their most notable features is the gaping chest cavity, with exposed ribs, and a glowing blue soul. This soul, along with the sculklin themselves, can vary in size depending on the amount of time their soul remained dormant, larger souls having been dormant for longer periods of time.

(im tired i might keep edit this or yapping later idk)

Hi yes I would LOVE to hear you ramble thank you

EHEHHEHEHEH THANK YOU SO MUCH!

For context to anyone else reading, I’m going to be talking about the Papyrus - Genocide Route Confrontation comic I just made and posted!

(For anyone else waiting for an ask response! I haven’t forgotten! I’m very backed up! SORRY FOR ANSWERING OUT OF ORDER I JUST REALLY WANT TO RAMBLE)

Ramble under the cut!

OKAY SO I SUPPOSE I SHOULD START OFF WITH CONTEXT! I got the song “Control” by Halsey stuck in my head for Undertale. And! Sure, it would work great for a player controlled Frisk, but the main lines that REALLY got me were:

“And all the kids cried out ‘Please stop you’re scaring me’”

“I can’t help this awful energy”

“Goddamn right you should be scared of me.”

And OKAY. SO OKAY. In the song it’s a back and forth- but what if they were both Frisk? Just… this scared little kid, who doesn’t know any other way to save themself other than puffing up and making themself dangerous before anyone else.

They were hurt, so now they are GOING to hurt others. Because they’re terrified.

And Papyrus. PAPYRUS MY BELOVED. He’s so unbelievably brave and wonderful and I always have his geno route confrontation in the back of my head. I always see more art where he loses. Where he’s killed, and it’s not even a hiccup in Frisk/the Player’s run. Just a victim in the sadistic persons game.

But despite how infrequently I see art of him winning compared to being killed—how many runs does he actually stop? A lot.

This comic was my love letter to Papyrus and his character in game. Because he’s wonderful. He knew exactly what he was getting into but he did it anyway.

He had to have been terrified.

SO RAMBLE ABOUT COMIC DETAILS!

This was so fun to do, thematically! Typically for a comic, I try not to do straight on or straight sideways panels too much, because that’s not very dynamic. But it served a purpose here!

Every panel you see from the side is what’s actually happening. But then we get the POV panels—which are what Frisk and Papyrus are seeing. Here’s the first couple of pages for reference!

So! The sideways views are accurate. They’re both shaking. Papyrus is sweating… and, if you zoom in… Frisk is crying.

But then we get into the POV panels- the first one which is a more realistic skull that we are looking up to see. Because I’m sorry, and I love Papyrus(and sans), but an animated skeleton IRL (before I had the context of loving Undertale) would be TERRIFYING. And he’s so much taller than them!

The sweat and nervous expression is still there, but it’s smaller. Harder to see. Frisk isn’t seeing that through the snow and terror.

And this is just as biased in view as the next thing we see—what Papyrus sees when he looks at Frisk. Dust covered hands, gleaming red eyes. (But, if you zoom in… They’re still crying. But Papyrus isn’t really seeing that. And because he’s taller than them, and because of the thick snowstorm, he can’t really see their expression.)

So I had a lot of fun with the snowstorm and POVs. Drawing attention to what I want you to see.

Fun fact about a sobbing grimace- it sure looks a heck of a lot like a smile if you can’t see the eyes :)

I was relying on readers to be biased towards Papyrus on the first read through! Seeing what he does. Aka, not noticing just how terrified Frisk looks. (I recommend a reread to check out those cues tbh. It was very fun.)

And stars, I love Papyrus. He’s confronting this mass murderer, and they look fucking scary. He’s terrified, but he’s doing this anyway.

And then… the snow clears. And we see from Frisk and Papyrus’s perspective again.

Papyrus isn’t so scary. And… he’s scared, too.

And Papyrus sees Frisk. Really, truly, sees them. And realizes exactly what’s going on. If he hadn’t kneeled down to hug them, he wouldn’t have gotten that straight on expression of their face. Frisk wouldn’t have seen that he wasn’t so scary

He doesn’t try to dodge when they run at him. He has no way in hell of knowing that they won’t hurt him. But as they rush at him, he can’t see the same demon he did before. All he sees is a scared little kid who is trying to hurt other people before they’re hurt, too.

And then. And then, because Papyrus cares so much, and because Frisk is shaking and scared, and they don’t want to hurt him. They just want to not BE hurt.

He gives them a hug.

He doesn’t know if they’re going to drop the knife. But he does know this-

They need someone to not hurt them. To look at them and offer mercy and for it not to be a trick.

This little kid needs a gosh damn hug. And even if he dies because of it, Papyrus is going to give them that hug.

And Frisk doesn’t actually want to kill anyone. But… other than Toriel (who betrayed them!) this is the first kind touch they’ve had since they fell. And this is the first monster that didn’t try to hurt or kill them.

Stars I just fudging love them so much.

BUT YEAH, I PLAYED AROUND HEAVILY WITH POVs and the concept of the snowstorm blocking the view. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN.

one last bit of ramble! There are lyrics that go with the different panels! So LEMME JUST SHOW YOU THEM

Im bigger than my body

I'm colder than this home

I'm meaner than my demons

I'm bigger than these bones

And all the kids cried out, "Please stop, you're scaring me"

I can't help this awful energy

Goddamn right, you should be scared of me

There’s a few others but there’s a 10 image limit on mobile, and these are the most important ones.

BUT YEAH. FUN TIMES!

The song lyrics line up with what Frisk is thinking and feeling! Which contrasts nicely against the actual comic, because the reader is mostly seeing what Papyrus is feeling/thinking.

THANKS FOR LETTING ME RAMBLE! …also if you’ve made it all the way through this long post, here, have a cookie: 🍪

Only one of his at least 5 identities was a straight-up FF villain, but that story was iconic and also he's tied to them by blood, so. Thoughts on Kang? Please don't just talk about how the MCU handled him.

I'm not gonna talk about the MCU at all actually, but Kang was a colossally stupid idea for a next big bad/Thanos from the get-go, he is just not great villain material. The issue with Kang, besides the time travel variant bullshit complications that have their uses but are clearly a major factor against his viability as a villain (and besides him being overwhelmingly a classic Avengers villain and classic Avengers being overwhelmingly boring), is that everything is too utilitarian with him. His core concept makes it so that either he wins too easily, because he has literally all the time and resources he could possibly need to win, or he loses despite having all the time and resources he could possibly need to win, which makes him a colossal loser. He has all-powerful resources and is kinda inevitably fated to win, and is still a chump loser who is also inevitably fated to lose and become an even more boring person at the end.

Nothing Kang does matters, because all of his victories are cheating, and everything he does can be erased and retconned away with another time jump, and so he's forever stuck between anti-climactic boring victories in a vacuum, because he can bend time, and being a chump, because that's what you are if you're bending time and still losing. I heard Kang described as the cosmic equivalent of a bored rich white hunter who goes to hunt animals in nature preserves just because he can, except the animals are constantly kicking his ass, and that's really fun, that's a good character to have around, but that's not really thrilling big bad material.

I think Kang works fine in his current role as someone who will never materially be a big deal supervillain, in a world where Doctor Doom exists, but is powerful and far-reaching and full of enough potentially interesting bullshit that you can pin stuff on him. Not at all an exciting villain to put big stuff in, but as some horrible guy everyone has to deal with, Father Time as a pompous punchable and horribly petty supervillain who can always make a situation cosmically volatile by showing up, is a thing you can bounce good stuff out of in 1-to-1 character interactions, even with himself.

The very things he has going for him as a character make him suck if you try and make him the main threat to take down, but he's good connective tissue and a decent interim villain and a nice fixed quantity to pin dynamics around, and every direction you can take his character is covered by an alternate identity he has, which are essentially different characters, and that can be interesting too, having a time traveling villain fragmented enough that he can sit on a circle with versions of himself at potentially different points of his life and they will be essentially different characters, that kind of stuff is pretty interesting to me.

To me he's like Apocalypse, in the sense that he's really only interesting to me as a character who exists in this world and not so much as a villain, but at least as a villain Apocalypse says and does cool sick shit on occasion, where as Kang, despite some efforts (I did like his solo mini), ultimately only interesting for what he brings out of others. Which can be good, again I do like him somewhat, I think his existence as a major player/threat the Avengers have to deal with is perfectly justified, but he is an Avengers problem largely because he's not good enough to be a Fantastic Four problem, hence why, as Kang the Conqueror, he is consigned to a suitably mediocre existence, as the number two time-traveling supervillain of the world.

I’ve been holding back on this headcanon for too long and I think I’ll explode if I don’t write it down somewhere.

SO. We know that Grian has the Widow Curse - in which he will ultimately end up killing his allies, or contributing help towards said allies’ deaths (and I’m purposely avoiding referring to it as the Icarus Curse simply because it doesn’t match up for this hc).

So what animal does the word ‘widow’ remind you of? For me, I instantly think a widow spider. And that’s what this post is basically exploring.

When characters are assigned a hybrid status, you will usually see physical traits that relate.

But Grian already has wings as he is always going to remain some kind of winged creature in my head - to divert from that is basically impossible in my head. That makes his back a very cluttered set of extra limbs if we’re deciding to include the extra four legs to add up to eight, and although that idea may sound rough to think about in terms of coherent design, I couldn’t give a fuck because having countless extra limbs that a normal player should not have is ultimate eldritch energy, which I think we can all agree that Grian exudes by default.

Basically, this is me giving Grian the most disturbing and unimaginable designs possible while still looking vaguely human (???).

Then we go onto the eyes, spiders have many eyes, eight to be exact, which ties very neatly into Grian being a Watcher. Lots of eyes to Watch, so really nothing changes much other than the fact that there are multiple eyes on Grian’s face all the time, and not just when he Watches.

Another thing that makes sense by default is that, like many animals in the wild, the males are smaller than the females by about half an inch. He’s short.

AND ODDLY ENOUGH, (though this one is more specific for Limited Life) widow spiders have a red-orange hour glass shape on their abdomens. And who is in charge of timing the sessions, with announcing halftime breaks, with deciding the end of the session, therefore stopping time/the sand in the hourglass from falling??? THIS ELDRITCH-SPIDER-WATCHER-AVIAN (+wither if I insert another one of mind melting headcanons in) THING!!!!

THESE SPIDERS ARE VENOMOUS, GRIAN IS VENOMOUS TO THOSE AROUND HIM!!!! THIS SHIT WRITES ITSELF!!!

ALSO!!!!: “habitat: will build irregular, erratic webs in quiet undisturbed areas” After three games - after the curse has been officially solidified - where does he build his bases? A deserted and oddly empty mansion, and a quiet hilltop. What do his bases look like? An odd bridge along with a tall grid above the server to Watch from, no set shape for the base ever. And then an erratically built abstract staircase leading to nowhere and an irregular second base shaped as an egg (spiders lay eggs guysssss).

AND FINALLY: “Despite their venom, black widows are typically non-aggressive” Grian is not one of the openly hostile players like maybe Martyn or Joel, he stays back and fights if necessary or entertaining.

Oh and how Spider of Grian to lure his prey into his web, to care for them until they get caught and stuck, and they can do nothing but wait for Grian’s venom to sink in, not even knowing that what they were stepping into was simply a trap set by Fate, who also goes by Other Names.

[dork-a-doodle]

Cringe is dead and I’m redesigning my old UT/DR OC/Self-Insert: Echo (she/they)

Info dump about them below the cut!

So I originally made them in the wake of Deltarune’s release, when the whole “we, the players, are possessing Kris 😱” thing was very fresh and the whole Undertale Multiverse was still going strong. So naturally they started out as basically a self insert, the version of me that played Undertale and later Deltarune.

So a quick rundown of their lore (btw I make no apologies for the Mary Sue aspects of this):

They originally controlled Frisk, doing several different Runs, endlessly curious about the world

At the end of their most recent True Pacifist they find their way back in the True Lab and into a part of it they hadn’t seen before

While exploring they accidentally activated a machine from before Alphys’s time and get Gastered

…kind of

Instead of being fully “shattered across space and time” they’re just… slightly fractured across space and time

Tbh I like to think of it like they got hurled full force at the 4th wall and got stuck in it like jello

Not really breaking the 4th wall so much as jiggling it aggressively and gaining an new kind of perspective

This had some interesting consequences, including (but not limited to):

separating from Frisk (who runs out of the Lab in fear) and gaining a physical form of their own

the ability to slip into different universes at a whim

the inability to talk normally, now effectively “speaking” in text box noises (lmao get Animal Crossing-ed idiot) and thus can’t be understood by most people (with a few exceptions)

the ability to posses objects and other people (which they do feel the need to sometimes as their true form is off putting to most, though they try not to possess people if they can help it)

others probably? haven’t quite figured that out yet

Which these newfound abilities, they decide to explore the multiverse and see all the interesting things it has to offer

But first, they decide they want a traveling companion, so they don’t get lonely

And they know the perfect candidate, someone who understands what it’s like to have unfathomable power and the want to explore all possibilities with that power for your own entertainment and curiosity’s sake

Someone who really doesn’t have anything left to seek in this world

And damn it if Flowey isn’t very interested in that offer

This arrangement is a strangely balanced symbiosis

For Flowey:

traveling the multiverse gives him a kind of clean slate he could never achieve on his own, especially with the loss of his reset powers

the multiverse is also very interesting and fun to explore

they know what he’s been through and what kind of a person that’s made him better than anyone else. they understand it, and they know to judge him for it would be hypocritical

For Echo:

so long as Flowey is attached to them in some capacity he can understand their strange “speech” and frequently acts as a translator (they are also learning sign language to ease that burden)

he’s far more experienced in battle and frequently acts as protection in more aggressive universes

re: the point about mutual understanding

Flowey is also unable to absorb their soul, which means his power over them is limited and if he crosses a line they’re fully able to ditch is ass in any universe they want

It’s notable that while Echo’s curiosity can occasionally override their morality, they’re still more inclined to chose the kinder option

I consider them to be chaotic neutral, leaning towards chaotic good

(I also personally see Flowey as somewhere between true neutral and chaotic neutral, occasionally slipping into chaotic evil. What can I say, he’s a nuanced guy)

Anyway, they travel the multiverse together, experiencing new things, seeing interesting sights, causing chaos

Eventually they find themselves in the Deltarune side of the multiverse

The universe they end up in is one where the entity possessing Kris is an incredibly malevolent one

Or I should say, the entity that was supposed to be possessing Kris

As Echo senses the Bad Vibes approaching this random human child, they say “absolutely the fuck not” and possess Kris themself to block the entity

This does mean they have to drop Flowey to do this, so he’s just kinda in the background for the time being

From there it’s basically just Chapter 1 until the point when Kris rips out the soul and goes to eat some pie

While they’re distracted, Flowey climbs in and breaks open the cage so Echo can unpossess the soul and leave now that the malicious entity is gone

They do decide to stick around and check out these Dark Worlds

Luckily for them, while they were busy dealing with the classroom Dark World, Flowey took the time to explore the town and found this perfectly good empty vessel that someone seems to have discarded

Deciding not to question it, they possess the vessel and wait for a new Dark World to open so they can explore it together

And that’s the basics of their story (or as much of it as I have ironed out lol). Hopefully this hyperfixation stays with me cuz I’d love to explore their character a lot more 😁

2025 Writing Goals

...Did I do one of these last year?? I...genuinely can't remember. But! I'm doing one this year--mostly to organize my own thoughts, haha, but I guess also to give people some updates, if anyone's interested in that?

But, uh, 2024 was...a year. The long and the short of it is: I am very burnt out. Most of that is due to my job, but other things have factored into it, too. (There were. So many animal emergencies this past year.) Because of that, I'm going to try to tailor my goals to be...a bit gentler. In theory.

As for the individual stories...

The Age of Fairytales (And Other Assorted Myths)

This is...probably officially going on hiatus, unfortunately. I don't particularly want it to, but I think it probably needs to. I've been struggling to write chapters a lot more than expected, and have been stressed about getting things out in a timely fashion, which is. Not particularly how I want to interact with fandom, and I don't want the story to suffer because of it. Some of this I think is due to the writing style (the myths specifically, which are different from my normal style), but most of it is from the aforementioned burnout. I don't think I was actually ready to have a regularly updated fic again, even if I thought I was (How was three months not enough time?? has been running circles around my head.), and probably should've stuck with my original plan of trying to write everything out, and then starting to post it.

That said, there's a reason it's going on hiatus, and isn't cancelled or anything, and it's because I still really like the idea. So for the moment, it might be going on the backburner, but hopefully I'll be able to bring it out and do more with it in the future.

(Also, like. Feel free to ask me about any lore stuff? Because I really, really want to talk about it, I'm just currently finding it difficult to put it into story format.

...I suppose I could also just make a lot of general worldbuilding posts in the meantime, too, which would be. Significantly easier. ...I'll have to see on that one.)

On My Heart

I really want to get back to working on this one; it's probably going to be my main "traditional" story. That said, I don't have a set goal for this; basically, I just want to make "decent progress" on it, haha. I'm going to try and take it easy and hopefully get at least some content that I'm happy with! (The beginning I already have, at least, feels pretty solid; now I just have to build onto that.)

One-Shots

I have four one-shots that have been sitting half-completed in my documents that I'd really like to finish at some point, which are:

coda: A Fallen Stars one-shot, covering the first year after the end of the story.

Children of Ozymandias: An AU where the Union Leaders (plus Player and Elrena) all remain together after the fall of Daybreak Town, examined through the eyes of people who don't have much relation to Keyblade wielders.

Touch of Midas: Hoder character study.

Ghosts of All We've Known: Ven-centric story looking at his connection to Scala, his buried memories of Daybreak Town, and his complicated thoughts about Eraqus and Xehanort and their past in Scala.

Of these, "Ghosts of All We've Known" is the one I most want to complete; I really like both the idea and what I've written so far, so hopefully I'll be able to finish that one this year, at least. "coda" also has a pretty good chance of being completed, just because, like...that's what I tend to work on when I'm feeling stressed, haha. So we'll see which of those two gets finished first!

(I would like to finish the other two sometime, as well, but...we'll stick with easy goals for now, and see how I'm feeling once those are done.)

And, uh...those are basically my plans for this year! I'm going to try very hard to just...kind of take things a bit easier. Keyword: try.

[bringcal]

I feel it has become a yearly thing where I mention I used to be a danganronpa fan and then dont mention it again until another real rolls around, but I was just thinking about "Danganronpa another episode: Ultra despair girls" and like. Guys you can make fun of me 100% for this but that game is one of my favourite games possibly period, next to like. Disco Elysium. rancid sentence i know but. BUT

The reason I think about this game despite not truly being in the fandom for years is because. It did so many things right compared to every other danganronpa game. Every other game has a lot of issues with its story and gameplay to the point I am genuinely convince all of the DR games should have been a 3rd person shooter because UDG just did it better. Kodaka time and time again makes these god damn story games where you click on words and it never works every time. UDG actually told the story right yet if you dont know anything about DR you wont even be able to follow the story so sorry everyone who thought they could get into dr and skip the shit games upon reading this post.

Anyways, in the DR games, youre like. Told and learn about how the outside world is a hellscape and there is truly no home to go back to, everyone is suffering. This is often a big reveal point in these games, yet every time I don't give a fuck. It does a really poor job at putting the player into the environment, and so the dread you feel is kind of just.. not there.

UDG though? youre actually thrown into the outside world you're keep hearing about, and it is actually dreadful. I never felt so consistently depressed and empty playing a game. You are traversing through an active genocide, everyone you meet eventually dying and youre being consistently reminded there is likely no good ending after something like this. The collectible writing is actually worthwhile and just the overall direction with the art style and music does the macabre-funk very well in this game. The DR games have this really goofy aesthetic where its as if youre having a 80s dance party in a torture dungeon and they somehow pull it off in this game. Additionally, the anime cutscenes dont overstay their welcome, and like, the shooting/fighting mechanic isnt like perfect but literally no one should be playing this for that so id say it does the job its supposed to.

The story is like.. actually good. Like yes there are some issues with it like every dr game, one of those issues ive made a post for ages ago and all the same shit still applies ( basically just a problem with how kotoko's character is explored and treated on a meta level ) but like. How can i hate a game that somehow took the absolute worse character in the first game and made her the best character ever in this game and somehow it didnt feel forced or unrealistic. Toko is great in this game.

This game got the short end of the stick because it was stuck on the ps vita for SO LONG before it finally came to pc and people dont even know it exists because of that and it sucks because its literally the best game in the danganronpa series and only one that actually made me feel the emotions that the entire series has been attempting to make me feel. Just warning anyone who actually does read this and gets inspired to play the game because of me that this game is very dark and discusses child abuse and other early childhood adverse experiences a LOT and so the material can be incredibly uncomfortable to people, and i recommend looking up all the warnings before getting into it

also this post got made simply bc i rmemebred this goofy ass track

[kaibutsushidousha]

To be honest, your discussion of Minase's positive and negative qualities piqued my interest. What do you think are the main recurring fgo writers' strong and weak points? Also where would you rank the lilim harlot event?

For the sake of brevity, I'll stick to one per writer. Picking apart everyone to the extent I did with Minase would take forever and would be better done after their respective Ordeal Calls.

I hesitate to call Higashide's comedy his strong point because his huge hits are about as frequent as his huge misses. I suppose I'll go with clarity for Higashide's main strong point. Even when I think he sucked at delivering his point, I can always tell what he's trying to say, which is not something I can say about Sakurai's most compressed scripts. His weak point is his lack of ambition. It's nice to have at least one person in FGO's team who will never try to escalate things, but I can't see it doesn't make his stories more forgettable in the long run.

Minase was already detailed in his own post.

Meteo’s best quality is a tone setter. Requiem, Salem, and all his events come with an atmosphere that feels very tangibly different from what FGO usually does. Often his events are bad, but never they lack a unique identity. Which segues into his weak point, being that many of his events are comedy events and the man is simply not funny. Bullying Erice is his only consistently good joke, and when he tries other things, the results are more miss than hit. See Las Vegas and Wandjina World Tour for major examples of comedy events that failed hard at the comedy side.

Nasu is a master recycler. I don't know how he does it but the man is constantly reusing the same structures, the same themes, or the same dynamics and somehow it never feels repetitive. There is always something that makes the whole recipe feel fresh and unique despite being so easy to recognize the same usual ingredients there. And what I dislike about Nasu in FGO is how he's still stuck at the concept of selling waifus from the girls with routes days. Everyone has their list of characters who get ship tease with Fujimaru but only in Nasu's case it feels like an overwhelming majority and that some of the choices create too large of a difference between the summoned character and the character in the main story. Was it really necessary to do this with, say, Morgan? Melusine? Tenochtitlan?

And Sakurai I saved for last because one major reason this post took this long is that I was struggling to sort out what is characteristically good and bad about her. Well, even now I don’t have a simple and satisfying answer. Things can’t be simple with Sakurai, unfortunately. One friend of mine described the experience of reading Sakurai scripts as “playing chess against an opponent that doesn’t tell that you are in a game of chess” and that’s honestly a fascinating way to phrase it.

Sakurai is an intriguing combination of inflexibly ambitious and inflexibly professional. She has grand ideas for her characters and she will include them in the script without fail. But she's also strictly adherent to script size limitations. While Nasu is making Camelot and Avalon le Fae with total disregard to every possible limit, Sakurai is cramming so much into Septem's and London's microscopic file space that it becomes utterly incomprehensible. Nasu wrote Last Encore's plot as a whole ass novel and hired Sakurai to convert that into anime scripts because Sakurai is his expert in fitting a lot of stuff into tiny spaces. Tunguska was tossed at Sakurai because probably no one else could fit into its raid event constraints. And because she doesn't compromise on what goes in, her alternative is not revealing the mysteries about her characters but laying out all the hints so the players can figure it out themselves, which is a really fun thing once you're used to it (read: aware that you're playing chess against her).

And the answer to "Where would I rank the Lilim Harlot event" is 1st place.
