#and wondering what this dream is before the tutorial happens

[valeisaslut]

Hey val! just wanted to say collide is genuinely incredible. genuinely one of the best pieces of writing i’ve ever read, not exaggerating. I’ve been seeing you absolutely burning ellie to shreds and it made me wonder, what’s popstar!reader’s backstory? read she came from the voice but is there more to her pre-ellie life? she seems so layered and complex on her own, and i’d love to know how she got to where she is now. any lore you can share??

omg first of all—thank you so much for this, seriously. it means the world that you’re even asking about reader’s backstory. i’ve spent just as much time building her as i did ellie, and i love that she’s getting some of the spotlight too!

popstar!reader’s backstory is a little quieter than ellie’s, but it’s just as important.

she was just a normal girl, honestly. small town, two parents, one younger sibling. soft-spoken, always lost in her own little world—writing lyrics on her forearm in pen and humming melodies while unloading the dishwasher.

her parents were sweet but practical, the kind of people who clapped at school recitals and told her to make sure her dreams had health insurance. supportive in that detached, surface-level, “good for you, honey” way.

she taught herself how to sing, how to play guitar, and later piano—mostly in secret. lessons felt like too much of an ask. her family wasn’t struggling, but money was always discussed with that careful tone, like even wanting something made you selfish. so she figured it out alone. saved up for her first guitar by babysitting, bought a secondhand keyboard off Facebook Marketplace, and sang quietly into her pillow late at night so no one would hear.

she taught herself how to produce on GarageBand when she was fourteen, recording rough demos on an old laptop that overheated if she used too many vocal layers.

she'd mimic runs from old YouTube covers, learn chords from blurry tutorial videos, and practice until her fingers went numb. there were nights her voice would crack and she'd cry out of frustration, but she always came back to it. because no matter how hard it was—music made her feel like someone.

she wasn’t popular. not disliked, just… overlooked. you’d find her sitting in the back of the bus, hoodie up, scribbling verses in the margins of her homework. she barely even spoke in class, but when she sang? people shut up and listened. she just didn’t let them very often. the want was always there, but the fear was just as loud.

and then came 10th grade. her first real heartbreak. a girl from her English class—older, confident, the kind of girl who knew the effect she had on people. reader fell hard. it was messy, unrequited, and when the girl said “i’m not into girls like that” with a casual shrug? it destroyed her. she wrote ten songs that month. none of them were happy. she posted one of them on SoundCloud under a fake name. it got 43 listens. she made it her phone wallpaper.

no one thought she’d actually do anything with music. her teachers told her to “focus more on the sciences,” and her guidance counselor literally said, “sweetheart, music is a lovely hobby, but not a career.”

no one ever really believed she’d make it.

and honestly? most of the time, neither did she.

but something clicked her senior year. she was tired of being scared. tired of hiding. so she said fuck it—and auditioned for The Voice with one of her own songs without even asking her mom about it.

the rest happened fast. all four judges turned. her clip exploded online—TikTok, Twitter, YouTube, everywhere. people were calling her “the girl with the pain in her voice”. and yeah, she won. of course she did. got signed to a label before she even had time to process it.

her debut album was a glittery, razor-sharp pop masterpiece. dramatic, vulnerable, unapologetically girly. every song sounded like crying in the back of a club bathroom and screaming in your car on the way home. girls memorized the lyrics. gays dissected the bridges. critics tried to play it cool but couldn’t help calling it a cultural reset.

but through all the fame, reader stayed pretty much the same. she never really leaned into the chaos of it all. she wasn’t into parties. barely drank. never touched drugs. she didn’t care about being seen—she cared about being good. her team would throw her into red carpets and she’d sneak out early to finish demos in her penthouse. at one event, she literally left mid-party to go sit in the parking lot and hum a harmonie she couldn't get out of her head into her voice notes.

she barely dated. not because she didn’t want to—but because she didn’t have time. she never let herself have time. the industry was demanding, to say the least. she had something to prove. to everyone who doubted her. to herself.

she built herself from the ground up. no shortcuts, no handouts, no famous parents or flashy connections. just talent. obsession. the belief that maybe—maybe—her voice mattered. and a little bit of spite.

she gave everything to her career. and she became a star.

and then came ellie. and for the first time… she stopped thinking about the next song. because suddenly, someone made her want to stay in the moment. and god, that scared her.

Second Round - Day Eight (R2) 1 of 2

@paracosmic-sims, @perolesims, @eljeebee, @jonquilyst, @riverofjazzsims, @matchalovertrait - Sim creators and co-writers

Bright and early, the household wakes up. Room order was randomised wih friends Isabella and Isla getting the ground floor rooms. A wheel was spun for type of shower the contestants would have (opportunity for energised, flirty or inspired moodlet) and whether they would brush their teeth (possible confident moodlet). Once they are finished getting ready they're sent to breakfast. Autonomy is toggled on and room doors are locked.

The order the contestants arrive at breakfast matters a little. Deanna compliments each of them in the order they arrive. Those who are talked to early seem to have more chance of fitting in autonomous socials with Deanna. They might fit in a joke, flirt or gossip between her complimenting others.

Deanna: I love that sweater on you Belle

Isabella: Thanks! It's one of my favourites

Isla: You're not too warm in it?

Isabella: It's pretty light

Hana: Well it definitely shows off your assets

Flirting? In PUBLIC? Not even with the bachelorette? Quetzalli is mortified to have witnessed such crass horrors. Nyami just quickly eats. She's tense from being inside and wants to get out.

Nyami: Dishes, dishes, who has dishes

Quetzalli: *still uncomfortable* I'm... eating?

Apolline: I'll help clean them. Then I need to dance

Deanna: How are you today Isla

Isla: *sighs* Another weird dream. I know it's silly to let them get me tense but they do

Isabella: Maybe you should relax before the challenge? Give you a better chance to go in with a clear head?

Isla: You're right. I'll be in the pool

Hana: Hey Deanna, you know I was just casually flirting right? I mean your dress clearly shows off assets as well

Deanna: *laughing* It's fine. I'm flirting with all of you. It would hardly be fair of me to forbid it

Hana: Alright good because I do really like you. I think the steamy shower just went to my head

Isabella: No harm done Hana

Apolline: Alright I'm bored, what's happening here?

Deanna: What happened to dancing?

Apolline: None of you were watching so it seemed... pointless

Missing Nyami? She took herself outside for some cloudgazing. It's better weather than when Kristina tried but there are still clouds to see.

Apolline: Quetzalli have you heard from your amour

Quetzalli: *rolls eyes and chuckles* Don't think I'm giving up Polly

Apolline: *bristles* That is not my name

Quetzalli sighs and excuses herself from the table to go play darts.

Hana: Nice Line, great job making friends

Apolline: I have you and Deanna. Do I need more? Deanna are you sure you can't give us a hint about the challenge?

Deanna: Ummm... I didn't pick it so please don't get mad when you're told what it is

Hana: *sarcastically* Her? Mad? Never

Nyami: Hey Quetzalli

Quetzalli: You might not want to stand between a person and a dartboard

Nyami: You can see me, it's not like you'll throw one

Nyami begins telling Quetzalli about all the wonderful memes she saw last time she was on social bunny. Quetzalli finds it hilarious! Sadly Isabella who is on her way to foosball just gets flashbacks to last round and the second hand embarrassment.

Devin: Hello everyone and welcome to Tartosa Gym. Today's challenge was picked by our pa, who is a fitness fan. Each of you has been tasked with completing the beginners endurance challenge on the rock wall. Fastest time wins. Good luck everyone

Devin hands it over to Aaron who gives a brief tutorial on how the rock wall works. It operates like a vertical treadmill, ticking over as contestants get closer to the top. Aaron takes everyone through some pre climb stretching to warm up, we need to be safe after all.

Aaron: I've picked this challenge because love is a marathon, not a sprint. You have to keep putting in the work if you want it to thrive. I'm looking forward to seeing who wins

Devin directs everyone to the right walls and the cameras position themselves.

Aaron: Any guesses who might win this one?

Deanna: I think Hana is a possibility since she's from Mt Komorebi, I mean she must have done some climbing right? Or Nyami, she does a lot of field work with her family and they go to some pretty hard to reach places

Aaron: Care to tell me who you want to win?

Deanna: *laughs* For the fourth time, nope!

Isabella: Oh..I'm not sure about this one. I don't want to break my bones...haha...

Isla: Rock climbing? Hmm... Not exactly my cup of tea. I hope we won't have to climb too high. I'm kinda scared of heights.

Hana: Did I mention I’m only good at the artistic parts of life?

Apolline: You know... I think staying under a guillotine would have been more fun than this. And more merciful. Far more merciful. But the balance and flexibility of all of my years of ballet, jazz and cheerleading will definitely come in handy.

Nyami: Please let me call Nereus (pronounced  Nee-Roos) he is gonna FREAK out that I get to do this as a challenge. It's one of our favorite things twin things to do

Quetzalli: I’m feeling optimistic about this. I picked up a book about rock climbing back at the villa.

There is danger in the air today! Quetzalli is the first to fall, but manages to balance. Hana however falls right on her butt, followed closely by Apolline. Isabella fares a little better but she to falls off the wall. Luckily she lands well.

Before we can blink Isla falls, having had enough of heights. Nyami slips and laughs at herself. Which means… no one wins the challenge? Can't have that, someone needs a date! Skill levels are investigated and it appears Nyami has the most (Level 3.68)

Apolline: ...that stupid machine broke my nail! Talk about adding insult to injury. 

Hana: I still have the strength to hold my brush — not all is lost

Apolline: Good thing this is over. Stupid challenge anyway

Apolline and Hana both had the same skill level (3.02). We should be very glad they didn't break anything serious.

Isabella: Thank the WATCHER, it's done!! I want to lie down!

Isla: I'm not super sporty or athletic, so it makes sense that I lost. Oh well, at least I got to try it! I still don't like heights, but I think this challenge helped me conquer my fear too

Quetzalli: I broke a nail (frowns)

Isabella (Level 3.26) Quetzalli (Level 3.27) Isla (Level 3.28)

Hey there, can I request for ROR anubis x modern reader where the reader is bored and try to summon anubis for fun and think it wouldn't work, but it end up working and now there a random Anubis in her room feel free to add what after this ~ thank you

A/N: Gladly anon! I'd love to write about silly little nubby. Hope it's what you wanted ♡

The unlikely jackal-headed companion 🐺🎃

Ror!Anubis x fem!reader

➩ A modern day girl who's favourite interest had always been Egyptian mythology, especially the god Anubis.

Found her adult life to be rather boring, so when she stumbled upon a website that could help her summon these ancient gods.

For fun she tries it, not expecting it to work until she is proven wrong and now Anubis himself has entered the mortal realm, as well as her home.

➩ Reader type: fem!reader.

⚠: Platonic & Romantic Fluff!!

In a small suburban town, nestled between towering buildings and grey streets, lived a young lonesome woman named y/n.

She was currently seated in her room adorned with posters of ancient Egyptian art and books, filled with its fascinating mythology, gods and history.

Something y/n had been fond of ever since she was a child.

But life as an adult was rather boring now, with work and other tasks keeping her away from her interests and hobbies.

Until y/n felt that sudden urge of curiosity again, rushing through her mind and body.

Soon enough y/n found herself engrossed scrolling online, stumbling upon an online tutorial on summoning the ancient Egyptian gods.

Half out of scepticism and half out of sheer boredom, y/n decided to try the summoning ritual for Anubis.

After all, Anubis was one of her favourite deities. Y/n chuckled at the stupidity and the fact this wasn't going to work.

Because it wouldn't, right?

She gathered the necessary items - candles, incense, and a makeshift altar adorned with skulls and other trinkets she found around the house.

Thinking to herself:

"If Anubis really does exist he would definitely like these, hah!"

As y/n chanted the ancient words she had gotten from the website, with a hint of amusement, she never expected anything to happen.

But to her surprise, a sudden wind and glow enveloped the room, and a mysterious figure materialised before her.

Anubis, the god of the afterlife with his jackal head, stood before her in all his majestic glory.

Y/n eyes widened in disbelief as she stumbled backward, tripping and falling to the ground. Her heart was racing in her chest, more than ever before.

"W-What..?! That wasn't supposed to-"

Y/n stutters to herself, trying to keep her cool as she shakes uncontrollably at Anubis's presence.

Anubis, as he looked around the room slowly, taking in his new surroundings was still barely visible to really make out. Because of the sudden glow to have hit the room.

While trying to adjust her sight, y/n was certain Anubis was here to collect her soul or at least judge her heart for having called upon him as a joke.

However, to her shock when the god spoke, he sounded rather thrilled to be there.

"Well, this was unexpected and delightful!" he exclaimed, his voice resonating through the room.

It wasn't as deep and booming as y/n had imagined it sounding like.

In fact, he sounded like an excited puppy who somehow knew how to talk.

Did she hit her head when she fell and was now dreaming, or perhaps even worse had she gone mad?

Unused to being summoned in the modern world, Anubis continues to look around with childlike wonder, his dark eyes sparkling.

Y/n was almost left with her mouth wide open when she finally got to see and admire the god before her.

His head wasn't actually the head of a jackal, but instead it was his headwear!

Underneath all that he was a handsome man, with dark tanned skin, sharp teeth and piercings on his chin, but also tongue.

Y/n had to gulp and blush slightly to herself, for some reason feeling embarrassed about this humanoid form of his.

Noticing y/n's bewilderment, Anubis approached her closer with a grin, offering his hand to help the woman up.

"Greetings, mortal! I am Anubis, the guardian of the afterlife. What brings you to summon me today?"

Stammering, y/n managed to grab a hold of the gods hand reluctantly while replying, she was scared his sharp nails or claws would touch her at first.

"I... I didn't really think this would work, please forgive me my lord!"

Anubis chuckled lightly, his soft laughter was admittedly very cute making y/n's heart skip a little beat.

"The whims of mortals! Fear not, if this wasn't a part of your plan I totally understand! But if you don't mind me asking, what assistance can I be to you then?"

With a nervous expression, y/n took a deep breath and the chance to think about it.

What could she possibly come up with to make Anubis, a literal god's time, be worth the while in the mortals realm?

"I suppose..somehow entertain me? If that isn't too much to ask for of course!! It's just that, these days are quite uneventful.."

Y/n to ease her nerves starts twirling some of her hair using her index finger.

A common habit she did whenever she needed a distraction.

Anubis, realising the woman was still tense, smirks to himself and thinks about a way to help her.

"Then I am here to make your mundane day more thrilling, my lady! I see your room is decorated with quite a few familiar things."

He happily pointed out, already seeing y/n's eyes light up at his comment and sharp eye.

"Oh really?! I'm so glad you find them familiar, I was afraid it would look weird to you somehow, considering I'm not from ancient Egypt!"

"Hey, don't worry about it, I love seeing people appreciate my culture."

"Phew, what a relief..!"

"But a particular reason why I am your favourite~?" Anubis without warning teased y/n, raising his eyebrow as his face leaned in close to hers.

It felt like her whole body was about to explode and her face turned red.

Damn it! She should have prepared herself for this question considering the jackal headed gods depiction was included almost everywhere!

"W-Well, you are my favourite..!"

Y/n responded in a panic, was he seriously playing with her right now?

Was this a way to catch her off guard or to test her in some way or another?

Before y/n could say anything any further, Anubis, ever the playful deity, leaped into the air out of pure happiness.

"Yippee~!!" The god exclaimed as he accidentally landed near her.

The sudden weight caused y/n to lose her balance, and she tumbled onto the bed alongside the ancient god.

"Oh uh..that was an accident, I didn't mean to scare or get that excited!"

Anubis pleaded, genuinely upset about his actions. He quickly got off y/n but all the woman could do was sigh as she had accepted her new fate.

"Honestly, this is already keeping me entertained enough."

CAUGHT IN 4K

word count: 3.3k

x: finals are coming up, so i'm gonna be very busy, but i'm still writing y'all (this is the most consistent i've been lol) (excuse any errors of course) Hope you guys enjoyyy! leave comments... please. I love your comments.

content: Imani has a crush on Roman. Their friend group goes on live and her secret comes to the light. She thought that she was going to be rejected and move on, but things never go the way people expect. Roman Reigns x Imani, 18+ MDNI, oral (m recieving), cowg!rl, creamp!e

Imani loved weekend kickbacks. Time to chillax with her favorite people, and get her mind off of things. It was moments like these she waited for. Drinks and joints in rotation, and endless fun for hours to come. Jimmy, Jey, Roman, Trinity Talia, and Imani. She wishes that she was only thinking about the good vibes that circulated in the atmosphere, but she was focused on something else. It wasn’t like she was necessarily trying to focus on Roman, but it was inevitable when she could see him so clearly from the kitchen. She knew that having a crush on him could possibly mess up the bond that the group has, but he was so gravitating, He was perfect in her eyes. She basically textbook described him when Trinity and Talia asked her to describe her dream man: Tall, muscular, sweet, absurdly attractive, charismatic, humorous, dedicated. God, she could go on to name every single one of his attributes that she loved. She tried to brush it off as a mistake at first, but there was no part about this that was a mistake. He had a tight grip on her, and he wasn't even aware. She wonders what would happen if he felt the same way. If those pretty brown eyes she daydreamed about would reciprocate the love she was anxiously waiting to give him. She could only imagine all of the things she could do for him, to him, and provide him. If she had him all to herself, how they would spend their nights alone. How it would feel to be wrapped in his embrace. How it would feel to get lost in him between the sheets for hours, and repeat it again the next day. If she had him all to herself.

“WE GETTIN TURNT!” Talia raised her glass in the air and yelled out to her viewers, watching her through the small rectangular frame. Jimmy came around the corner with uno cards in his hands as the six of us gathered around the table. Roman, Trinity, or Jey would pop into the frame to answer a couple of questions while Jimmy shuffles the cards and Imani gathers multiple bottles to bring to the table. “Mani! They have some questions for you!” Imani joins her party, sitting the bottles on the table and scanning through the comments.

‘Do you get to go backstage with the bloodline?’

“Yes! It's amazing, I'm not gonna lie.”

‘Please do a makeup tutorial!’

“Maybe, I don't have a youtube channel.”

‘Seen any guys that have caught your eye?’

“A couple, but they ain’t nothin’ important.”

“Oh word?” Talia and Trinity both look at her with curious faces, but Imani just giggles and goes back to answering questions. 

“Ooh this is a good one. Kiss, marry, fuck: Jason Momoa, Michael B. Jordan, and Roman Reigns,” Talia reads out loud. That question got everyone’s attention. Jimmy stopped fidgeting with the cards and Roman and Jey both put their phones down impatient for her answer. “Well?” Talia was definitely setting her up, and she could feel it. Thank god for her brown skin that covered her fastly spreading blush. “Do I have to answer this?” “Yes, you do. I'm intrigued now,” Trinity says, as Imani quickly takes a double take at the entire table to see them all staring at her. She sighs before surrendering and thinking hard about the question.

“I’ll… kiss… Michael B. Jordan, fuck Jason Momoa, and marry Roman Reigns.” She instantly regretted answering the question before Trinity pried at Imani to get out more information that everyone was itching to know. “Hmm, why marry Roman?” She quickly swiped her drink off of the table and took a long sip, hiding her face. In all honesty, she wanted to say that it was the easiest choice, but that would only make her sound suspicious. And that was not a conversation that she wanted to have in front of quite literally everyone. “I'm not interested in the other guys like that.” “So you’re interested in Roman?” ‘Wait- wait! Noo that's not what I meant!’

“No, I just wouldn't marry the other two men. It’s not that deep Trin,” Imani says, a failed attempt at dismissing the conversation. “You’ve never gotten this defensive before… don’t tell me that you in your feelings.” She could see Talia smirking at the corner of her eyes. She knew she had to stop this fast. “You’re reaching Talia,” Imani says, laughing to herself. “Oooooh Imani wants the Tribal Chief, huh?” Never in her life had she ever been more embarrassed. “Jimmy, for the love of god, please start dealing the cards,” Imani says, covering her face, her words muffled by her hands. Everyone laughs, finding amusement in her nervousness. She anxiously waited for Jimmy to start dealing the cards so this moment could pass.

11:27 pm

Several rounds of uno and spades passed, and the guests were slowly starting to make their way out. She noticed Talia, Trinity, Jey, and Jimmy momentarily texting throughout the night, which would probably explain why the four of them were explaining the consequence of Imani losing a couple of rounds. “Sooooo we thought of something. Don’t be mad! It’s just a punishment for losing so much,” Talia says, sticking out her tongue. “Your punishment is that you have to ask Roman to fuck you.” ‘ASK ROMAN TO WHATT!?!?’

Her surprised face told them everything they needed to know. “You'll be fine. Uce will probably be down to fuck either way,” Jey says. Imani gave Talia a death glare, making Talia laugh. “You’re trippin’ girl. Just approach him with the right energy and make him want to stay with you. I guess this answers the question of if you have a crush on him or not.” Before she could defend herself, Roman walks in from the restroom and the four of them are gone in the blink of an eye. ‘These trifling’ heifers’

“Guess they all left. I should be on my way out then. Thank you for the food and dr-” She steps in front of him, stopping him from exiting out the front door. He looks at her with confusion. “You okay?” Her heart was beating fast. She didn't fully think out what she was going to do after she stepped in front of him, but it was now or never. 

“Fuck me.”

“...what?”

“F-fuck me.” She couldn't look him in the eye the second time. The pressure weighing on her shoulders was too much. But the thing that was racking her brain the most was how close they were. She felt like this was a disaster taking place in real time. She hears a soft chuckle, looking up to see him lightly smiling at her. “Was this your punishment for losing?” She nods, and his smile stays fixed on his face. “Do you want me to?” 

‘...did he say what I think he just said?’

Her mind is searching for an answer, a reason to say no. But she can't find any. As embarrassing and confusing this was, she had daydreamed about this moment. Maybe he was just being nice and would give her a quick fuck to fulfill the punishment. That idea became her leading thought. “You don’t have to if you’re uncomf-” “Do you want me to fuck you Imani?”

‘Shit he’s not joking.’

She slowly nods, which prompts him to lock the front door behind you. Her head was spinning, trying her hardest to maintain her composure. “Ask me again.”

“Fuck me, please,” She says nervously, eyes returning her shiny tile floors. “I don’t believe you sweetheart. Ask me again.” His hand gently grabs at her chin, making Imani look at him. Once they made eye contact, she knew that she was done for. She was already feeling weak from just looking at him. She took a deep breath before finally saying, “Please fuck me Roman.”

He wasted no time pulling her into a heated kiss. Not that she minded. This felt like a wonderful dream that she didn't want to wake up from. Only this wasn't a dream, it was real life. She finally got to feel the body that she had been drooling over. Right now, he was hers, and she was going to make the most of it. 

Her curious hands creeped along his captivating body while they explored each other’s mouths, dragging her hands up his torso from underneath his shirt. He pulled away from her soft lips to trail wet kisses from her cheek to her neck. “Not shy anymore huh?” She couldn't be shy. Her desire for him had completely taken over. “I really need you right now Roman,” She pants out. 

“Bedroom?” She nods and takes his hand in hers, leading the way to her bedroom. The sway of her hips only made Roman more aroused, as he silently admired her body from behind.

They enter her bedroom and she doesn't get a chance to close the door before being pulled into his arms again, temporarily hoisting her in the air to lay her on the spacious bed. He pulls her into another messy kiss, setting his focus on getting rid of their bothersome clothes. He quickly tore his shirt from his body and she did the same with hers. Their lips connected again, moving in harmony. He started to make his way down her body, but she squeezed his shoulders, signaling him to stop. “I wanna make you feel good first.” Roman was surprised to say the least. He kissed her tummy and replied, “Are you sure?” She gives him a confident nod, with those big doe eyes and her beautiful smile. “Alright, what do you want me to do?” “Let’s switch places.”

She scooted to the side, giving him room to lay down on the bed. She crawled down to his waist, tugging both his sweatpants and boxers down. His dick springs out of his pants, finally free from cloth restraints. Her eyes locked with his before lowering down to lick the underside of him; from his balls to his mushroom tip. A wad of spit drips from her mouth and lands on his length, using her hand to lather him up. His soft hums let her know that he was feeling good, and she was determined to make him feel a whole lot better. 

Her juicy lips start at his tip, giving small kitten licks before taking the tip in her mouth. Her warm mouth felt so good on his dick. He didn't know that Imani was this nasty. She gives him kisses up and down his shaft before taking him in her mouth again. 

She didn’t waste any time trying to tease him. He was big, and filled mer mouth well, but it’s nothing she's never handled before. Before she continued, the warmth of her mouth left him once again. “Can you record this?” Just when he thought she couldn't get more nasty. 

“Record?” She nodded her head. “Only if you’re comfortable.” “I’m more than comfortable,” Roman says, while reaching into his sweatpants pocket. He grabs his phone and opens the camera app, pressing record. “It’s recording, baby.” 

She smiles at the camera, curling her fingers around the base of his dick and tapping him against her tongue. She takes him in her mouth again for the final time, keeping her hand put at the base. She bobs her head slowly, swiveling her head from left to right. 

She keeps moving slowly, making sure to fit all she can in her mouth. Her hand that stayed curled around his base, moved in juxtaposition, stroking the rest of him that her mouth couldn't get to. “Goddamn baby, that mouth feels so good. I need that mouth around my dick all the time.” She moans in response, giving him vibrations that made him feel oh so good. She had him moaning and groaning. She didn't mind that at all. She got a big ego boost that he was so vocal from her mouth working its magic. She took note of every moan, every twitch, and any reaction he made. Right now, she was focused on his pleasure. 

His grip on his phone tightened, trying his best to keep his composure. She moved her head faster, still bobbing up and down, and using her hand to stroke his remaining inches. “Ahh s-shit mama, you keep sucking my dick like that and imma cum in your mouth.” She looks at him, already staring at her every move while she’s giving him euphoria like pleasure. She moans around his dick again, feeling her panties dampen. Her other hand massaged his balls lightly. Her slurping sounds made him close to coming. 

He couldn't take his eyes off of her. Those innocent eyes staring into him as he recorded her doing such lewd things. He tried his best not to tangle his hands in her hair and fuck her mouth full of him. But her mouth felt so good, and he wanted nothing more than to cum in her mouth. He couldn’t help himself when his hands disappeared into her hair, planting his feet on the bed and fucking up into her mouth. She put her hands behind her back, letting him use her as he pleased. His thrusts were quick, but soft, his balls slapping against her chin. “Oh fuck! I’m coming mama, ooh I'm comin’.” He kept her head steady while coming deep in her throat, and she accepted with jubilation. 

She bobbed her head a few more times, trying her best to overstimulate him the most she can, until his hand grabs her chin, lifting her up. “Slow down princess,” He says, ending the recording. She crawls up to meet him, giving him a quick passionate kiss. “See how good you taste?” Roman chuckles at her boldness. “Your turn. Lie down,” He says, trying to sit up, but fails due to her pushing him back down on the bed. “I need that dick right now daddy.”

“You don’t want me to eat that pussy?” She runs her hand through her messy hair. “God yes I do, but I need you to fuck me right now.” Her eyes did more pleading than her words. 

“I wanna record this too,” she says, looking down at his chest, tracing the intricate tattoo. He feels around the bed, finally grabbing the phone and reopening the camera app. “Can you prop it up somewhere? I want you to be able to touch me.” “Already on it baby.” He climbed back further on your bed, propping the phone up against the lamp on the nightstand. While he did that, she slid off her shorts and panties, throwing them behind her. He pressed record again, and instructed her to adjust herself so the camera could capture everything. 

His hands landed on her ass as they both observed themself. His hands felt so good kneading her ass, and she saw his eyes drinking in every part of her body. He couldn't keep his hands off of her curvaceous body, and he didn't want to. “You like it?” Her soft hands massaged his shoulders, making him groan softly. “I love it baby, love this ass.” An unexpected slap to her ass made her jump. “You sound so good, daddy.” His hands move her hips along his dick, grinding her body against his. 

“How long have you been thinking about this?” She shies away from his gaze, a sudden flash of embarrassment runs through her body. She had forgotten about all of her feelings of distress and nervousness and realized that she was running on arousal and adrenaline. “A-a couple of months.” He lifts her hips and grabs his length, rubbing the tip along her slit. A few rubs up and down her slickness before impaling her on his dick. They moan simultaneously, relishing in the mind numbing pleasure. “You been thinking about taking this dick baby?” She gives him small head nods, still captured by the feeling of him inside of her. His hands cupped her chin, turning her head to the direction of the phone, steadily recording them. His hands were full of her ass, moving her up and down his shaft slowly. His unsteady breaths and her elongated moans were harmonious. “Go ‘head then. Bounce that ass on my dick.”

Her eyes focused on him as she steadied herself, her hands placed on either side of his head. She throws her ass back, his thighs catching it every time. His eyes were still glued to the phone, watching her beautiful body on top of him. But it wouldn’t be long until he faced her again, her soft titties hanging in front of his face. She had daydreamed about fucking Roman, and she was finally doing it. It gave her confidence knowing that he couldn't keep his hands off of her body. Her facial expression told her exactly how she was feeling. It was almost overwhelming how sexy she was. Beautiful smile, sexy body, paired with addicting moans that made him want to fuck her all night long. 

“Mmm~ look at you taking daddy’s dick. You’re doing so good,” Roman pants, grabbing at her breasts. His gentle praises and gruff voice was enough to make her cum. His dominating presence, his words, his touch. This man had her mind running laps. Even though he wasn’t putting in any effort, he was hitting all the right spots.

Her words were slurred, eyes rolled back, mouth wide open spewing salacious moans. Her hips slowed down, the constant rhythm created by her ass and his thighs meeting no longer lasted while she hid in the crook of his neck. Her body was decorated with a sheet of sweat that didn’t take away from her golden hue. “Look at me.” She rested on her elbows, locking her eyes onto his. Their faces were laced with lust, an unsatisfied want for each other. 

His strong arms caged her in, preventing her from squirming or escaping. She was still catching her breath while Roman planted his feet on the bed again. He places a tender kiss on her cheek before fucking up into her. She grabbed on to any part of his body that could, her eyes fluttering shut. A harsh slap to her ass makes her scream in pleasure. “I said look at me,” Roman says, demanding her full attention.

“Ohhh- my god! You feel so fucking g-good!” Roman loved watching her unravel. How she screamed for glory while he fucked her. God, he could make this his favorite hobby. Making her cum over and over again. “Mhm- fuckk- keep talking to me baby.” Her mind was foggy. She could only focus on one thing right now, how good he was dicking her down. Roman was making her feel so good. She looked at his phone propped up on the nightstand again to see their reflection. Her ass rippled from his hard strokes. That sight alone had her ready to cum. “Shhit! I’m finna cum on that big ass dick!” “Yeah? You finna cum?”

Her nails dug into his broad shoulders, feeling a knot build up in her stomach. “Cum with me Imani, let me feel you cum around my dick.”

Her eyes shut as she came, her orgasm hitting like a dam breaking, sending waves of pleasure throughout her body. His hips slowed down, but still gave her deep strokes, coming deep inside her. High pitched moans and deep grunts filled the room. His hands lazily grab her hips, allowing her to move again. She reached to grab the phone and ended the video, dropping the phone somewhere as she laid limp against his chest. His thumbs worked small circles as they both caught their breath. “I’m gonna take a shower when I get up, wanna join me?” Imani hears him chuckle, still working small circles into her hips. “Nah, we’re not done. I gotta eat that pussy, Imani.”

If these were the punishments she got for losing in spades, maybe losing wasn't so bad after all.

Link's Awakening (Switch) Removes Link's Characterization

It's wild, so wild that I really have to wonder if I'm somehow wrong. But an optional line of NPC dialogue seems to be entirely missing from the Switch release. Worse, it actually has implications for Link's characterization at a critical point in the game's narrative. I don't know who needs a spoiler warning for a game from 1993, but the rest is below the cut.

First, the context. Link has just conquered the Face Shrine, the sixth dungeon of the game. The mural he discovered before the dungeon implied that Koholint is nothing but a dream. The boss of the dungeon tells him that everything on the island will disappear if the Wind Fish wakes. This is a MASSIVE turning point for the story. Link now has to contend with this caveat to the narrative he has been fed by the Owl for his entire adventure, that he must wake the Wind Fish to leave the island. Was the mural's poem true? Was the boss of the Face Shrine lying? Link can't be sure.

Thing is, Link's characterization in this game is sparse, and often left to the subtext, narration, or NPC dialogue referring to his behavior. This is true even in the Switch version, despite him being more visually expressive. So it's hard to tell how Link actually feels in this moment. Nintendo (smartly, I think) let the moment sit with the player to let them develop their own feelings and project them onto Link. However. There is one line of optional NPC dialogue that actually gives him explicit characterization here.

In Mabe Village, there are several kids who spout flavor text that is usually tutorial content, always with the caveat that they're just a kid and don't know what they're talking about. One of them hangs out by the Weather Vane. If talked to after dungeon 5 but before dungeon 6 (the Face Shrine), he will say:

Hunh? Marin's not with you? What happened to her?

If talked to at any point after the Face Shrine is completed--whether immediately after or right before waking the Wind Fish--he will say this instead:

Dude! You're asking me when we started to live on this island? What do you mean by 'when?' Whoa! The concept just makes my head hurt!

Here's screenshot proof that this line is in the game:

This isn't just throwaway flavor text. There is characterization here. The kid is responding to a question. Link's question. Link asked him when Koholint was settled. Now, why would he do that, and why specifically after the Face Shrine? Here's my interpretation.

Link has just heard these revelations that re-contextualize his whole adventure. He's gotten close to Marin, though, and doesn't want to believe she A) isn't real, and/or B) she will disappear if he wakes the Wind Fish. So he goes to her, perhaps for comfort--perhaps to learn something that could disprove what he heard. He last saw her in the Animal Village, but now she isn't there. She also isn't at her usual spot by the weather vane in Mabe Village. In her place, though, is that kid. Link settles for asking him for information. Unfortunately, he gets a total nothingburger response.

See? There's something there! We can learn something from the kid's line! To fight the confusion, Link is asking questions. Desperately, too, if he's asking the kid who clearly doesn't know jack shit about jack shit. There's just enough there that it inspired me to write a one-shot fanfic about this moment in the narrative, which is currently a work in progress.

So if this line is so impactful to Link's characterization, why the fuck is it missing from the Switch remake? No, I'm not kidding. It's not there. Try and find it. I dare you. I have a save file on Switch where I just beat the Face Shrine and a save right before the Wind Fish's egg. And you know what that kid says if you talk to him at any point where he would say the above line in the original and DX versions?

Grandma Yahoo's not here. She's in the Animal Village. That's what Grandpa Ulrira said on the phone!

Proof:

Um. What? Where is my fanfic-inspiring line of dialogue? Hello? Grezzo? Did you just forget about this line? I even talked to all the other village kids in case their dialogue got swapped. Nope! Completely gone. This is a travesty. And here I thought that the Switch version is just about the perfect remake! Well then. That fucking sucks. Great job everyone, go home and think about your actions. Fuck, dude.

[daemon-in-my-head]

I think the biggest issue about the durge storyline is the surface approach to horror the game has chosen. Instead of an emotional connection, a human element or exploiting empathy to drive home how horrible it is what happens and make the person playing feel awful for what is happening, they mainly went for shock value and scratched all else.

And because this was the thought jumping around the vacant halls of my brain as i was trying to fall asleep yday, here's an idea on how you could change that as well as improve the tutorial <3

Start right at the beginning. Don't let the PC wake up all on their own in their pod, have them immediately ambushed by a frantic wizard as they leave their pod.

The wizards name's Lenore. After a very brief, very brutish surface inspection she deems you human enough to help her out. She introduces herself as a member of the society of brilliance and explains what's going on very roughly, ur on board a minflayer ship, in the hells as it seems, but she knows someone perhaps it's not to late for y'all yet. Hands ya a makeshift club or smth and tells u to follow her.

Story continues as per usual, you meet us, Lenore immediately wants to study them after this is all over, you meet Lae'zel, Lenore stops herself from asking her all sorts of astral mushroom questions, you meet Shart, she and Lae'zel still hate each other, she places some hope on lenore getting y'all out of here. You see the very well made transformation of thrall no.38 and everyone's disturbed, but alas nobody has time so y'all head to the helm

The same dialogue happens right before you enter the helm, Lae'zel and Shart bicker but Lenore shuts them both down saying how they have no time to lose but if you make it to her acquaintance in time you won't be tentaclefied and she'd rly rather not as she has someone dear waiting for her at home, dialogue concludes and y'all head inside.

Now everything happens as per usual. Helm shenanigans, y'all crash land, yada yada yada. Except now you'll also find a lenore around the entrance of the crashed ship and you'll also find a half dead mind flayer amongst the 2 intellectual devourers that cut you off from the rest of the map. Once you defeat those two and make your way into any direction, a dialogue is triggered, more on that later.

Approaching her triggers a dialogue, she asks to team up and visit her buddy, if you agree she joins you immediately, if you refuse her she laments your sorry fate and leaves to find her acquaintance. In that case you'll just never meet her again cuz creativity ran out for that route, apologies.

Assuming she joins you; the mindflayer scene triggers. She offers to deal with it, you get 2 options; either allow her the honors or reject her and deal with it yourself. If you allow her, my sadism will shine through and she'll fail the checks (guaranteed), aka turn on the party. Combat initiates and you gotta take her out after she displays the horrors of having ur personhood stripped away and becoming a geniune mindless thrall in service of mindflayers (we're just gonna go with multiple dead brains r still better than one living one mindflayer logic here). Now should you reject her; the same thing will happen. She will reply as though you agreed and go ahead. Perhaps she just ignored you?

Now after lenore is out of the picture and we have a brilliant showcase of what thralldom entails, the game continues on as per usual. You do whatever you gotta do until the a long rest scene triggers where everyone feels miserable. Not the first dream guardian one but a new one. Its just guys complaining they feel shit, narrator explaining you do too, but nothing besides the omnious knowledge that smth is happening comes of it.

Right after that wonderful experience the Alfira Incident will trigger upon next long rest. That one will happen as per usual as well, however unlike the usual Incident aftermath, this time, no matter what dialogue option you chose the game and narrator will treat it as though you tried to blame the tadpole. The companions too actively gaslighting you into believing it was the tadpole. After all, you just had a really, really shit night only one day prior so it's gotta be the tadpole snacking on ur brain. It just has to. Thats also why your answer was just ignored. Perhaps the part in charge of impulse control is being eaten rn. Eitherway "keep it down until we found that halsin guy" is the only consequence.

Now usually upon the next long rest after Alfiras unfortunate demise Scel would show up. However this time he doesn't. Instead you'll just get a notification that you recieved a new item (murder mantel) and a note. The note reads good job, ily, prommy I'll stay longer next time, signed ur dearest stalker. Yk the usual Scel stuff.

Game continues on as per usual until you either defend or raid the Grove. If you defend the grove; in the groves makeshift prison is a group of goblins. You're asked to deal with them as you see fit. You get 3 options: show mercy and let them go, threaten them and let them go, dispose of them. The narrator will say how you go about each option a la "you approach them and open the door" however what is shown, regardless of option, is how your character slaughters them gleefully. Right thereafter whatever companions are with you will comment on it, Karlach/Wyll think you overdid it, Shadowheart/Lae'zel question if this was necessary and Astarion/Gale are concerned (more for themselves but alas), you once again get dialogue options that would allow you to express how you didn't want this to happen specifically, however it doesn't matter what you pick, your character will always sigh dreamily express pride in having their deranged nonsense being witnessed. If you chose to raid the Grove the same group of goblins will be waiting for u around Waukeens Rest and express the desire to join you, however it'll end the same way.

Next longrest Scel will finally show up and compliment you on what you've achieved so far, your character will question if he has anything to do with the tadpoles, to which he'll just reply that the guardian told you they fend them off, don't they? If PC expresses they never wanted any of this but couldn't help it Scel will just sigh and lament that *that* old habit seems to be back and follows up by reassuring that "don't worry, it'll all go back to how it should be in due time".

After that game continues as per usual.

And just like that you've enhanced the tragedy of Lenore and made her Tower even more haunting, cuz now you know her and you know what she meant when she said she had to return.

But most importantly you've displayed the horror of durge in a way the player can relate to, because you've proven how much illusion their choices really are. You make the player feel empathy for Durge because now they know how much it must suck to have their autonomy stripped from them in this particular, almost doll like fashion, seeing how they very much just experienced that a few times. You've also etablished whatever is going on with them is much more sinister than the tadpoles, and you've already seen how bad that is thx to Lenore. And Scel is even more menacing cuz how the fuck does he know shit he shouldn't be able to know cuz it happened in your dreams? Who is he? What's going on? Who is Durge? Who else is up there in that tadpole scrambled mass of flesh you call a brain?

And all of that was achieved by keeping the original shock and gore in place but adding onto it with a bit more context and emotional connection. Cuz you can't force your customizable character to feel something, wouldn't work for them, but you can etablish how much it doesn't matter when you're a handcrafted doll remote controlled by a murder god.

Anyway thanks for coming to my tedtalk and the cutesy little post about rip good horror that escalated into a quick rewrite of act 1. Knowing me smth like this will happen again <3

[bleue-flora]

if you want to talk about something less stressing then what about how is cdream's relationship to building by himself? Im curious bc from his evil lair to the attachment vault there's a big difference. I wonder if he took ctechno's advise and watched some tutorials bc he improved a lot and I find funny that the more feared guy on the server doesnt know how to build a house lmao tho i dont judge him im worse than him at building

lol this is fitting to my recent post [here]

I’ve actually been kinda thinking about this alot as I gather clips for my video compilation making… there are actually more scenes then we realize and it’s very funny to compare them. I mean he’s not terrible, like I’m pretty sure he built the nether hub, did the cool black spread for the portal in the overworld, lead the design of the community house and stuff. Then later he followed a fan’s design to spruce up the house. His little secret base is cute, really the worse build is the house he did on Techno’s stream which was a great bit lol. So I honestly don’t think the Vault is out of his wheelhouse. I mean it’s a rather simple design to be honest. There isn’t really any texture or variety of blocks. It just looks good because of the huge portal and huge paintings.

So like he’s not awful, just not every Minecraft player is a builder. It’s part of what makes it a great game, some people just want to explore, others fight, some solve puzzles with redstone, and some build. It’s like a perfect mix of multiple game genres. But also just like combat is something you have to practice and be knowledgeable to be good at, building is much the same. The more you build the more your skills evolve. First you look up some ideas or inspiration or tutorials then you start not needing that as much as you get better and start using the techniques you learned. But I mean Techno’s build’s are not much to be impressed by either except his cabin which he followed a tutorial for. So he gives Dream shit but really I think it’s because he knows that both of them are such good fighters so building is not as much in their skill set or priority.

Besides Dream hardly has time to construct a good looking house since he’s constantly running around into people’s streams and out gathering multiple enchanted apples like bruh… he’s not retired and chillin’ and breeding turtles like Techno lol. Man’s got things to do, places to be, people’s business to stick his nose in to keep the peace… plus, why put in effort into a house when it’s bound to be a target for griefing and destruction. I mean one of the specific things he notes about not having a house is that he doesn’t want it to be pillaged and robbed, since that’s what happened before. Even to his secret base. Dream is a practical and tactical dude, he literally walks around with multiple stacks of steak. So why spend hours building something nice for Tommy or someone else to just blow up anyways. Or maybe he did but he’s kept it well hidden…

Still, since he’s not the most terrible builder ever, why did he build such a monstrosity of a house on Techno’s stream. Besides it being a funny bit, maybe we can come up with some canon reason. Maybe he built it to blow it up on purpose just like kids do. Or maybe he made it in a satirical manner, making fun of Techno to himself or maybe Tommy and his ugly cobble stone tower or something. Maybe it was to prove a point - If I wanted a house I’d make one, but I don’t need one not because I can’t but because it’s unwise and having a house is exactly how L’manberg came to Technos, because he stayed in one spot versus strategically moving locations to stay safe…. anyways, personally I am a builder. Here’s a house I built when amethyst first came out and I wanted to use it, it’s very witchy vibes. :)

[marabarl-and-marlbara]

i think i saw you talk about picayune a bit on your twitter! i was wondering about it if you’re willing to give your thoughts. i heard it was similar to that one game that’s called the void rains upon her heart, at least from a friend of mine.

hi anonymous; although i say i could gush about it: i mostly said everything i:d want to on the twitter already, but yeah: i love it, it:s a sneaky "top game of the year" for me, i think, and is one of those passion-projects (?) that just feels as though it carries with it a-lot of love for game design and just the act of creating games; i:d put it like this: i really enjoy survivors-type games because they:re dopamine-traps that just give me skinners-box gratification when i:m struggling to get through a day, but as a genre the games are very formulaic and usually seem like they:re 1) cynically made because the formula is hot + can make some easy cash for little effort since the game-design aspect is just laid out like clean providence 2) made a little more earnestly but usually for a developer as an exercise which happens to also be probably decently lucrative -- and both of these prior points lead to pretty stale experiences, but dopamine-trap experiences that i like all-the-same, as-well: due to me just not having a lot of money outside of my weekly grocery budget, i don:t really let myself spend money on non-grocery things, so: looking @ picayune dreams i was hit with this mix of "this looks awesome" and "i know this formula and the gloss is just going to be another stale 100% achievement grind that:ll eat up my time but leave me mad at myself for wasting $5 when i need groceries" -- but it had a demo, and (happily) the demo betrayed my cynicism and just oozed with sincerity on behalf of the developers, so: i bought it.

it:s a very good blend of shmup/bullet-hell type gameplay and the standard survivors-genre, and although i don:t think it:s the best gameplay in either genre, the experience as one whole is executed perfectly for what it is: it unfolds and never seems lazy in its effort or gameplay; the obtuse mechanics are fun to figure out; the story segments (while super iterative of yume nikki type rpgmaker stuff) have this razor-sharp conciseness for the vibe it wants you to feel that i really enjoy (it reminds me of scientology, archangel:nemesis in a weird way: because the breadth of the plot centers around being selected to save a humanity that is trapped down here on earth, sort-of indifferent to your mission -- and i think it creates this plot really beautifully despite using very little words or demanding a lot of your time (<- this point here is key for me, cause i have northernlion syndrome of nearly no-longer having patience for games that want me to stare at some story for a long time, or hit you with tutorials before gameplay, or whatever: picayune dreams just goes and trusts you to figure it out)).

i haven:t played it much lately, cause (if it had one fault, which is more just my user-experience than the devs) the runs can get to be longer than i have patience for (you can loop and at this point you:re getting close to an hour run), so i end up self-destructing when i get bored;

i:d encourage anyone to give the demo a try, or just look at the steam-page and take in the art direction -- it:s a game that probably won:t let you down if it even /slightly/ looks interesting to you, & i still feel a rush of goosebumps when the final song comes in during the last boss; it:s just solid (void rains upon her heart is another one of these great games for me but i 100%'d it earlier in the year and have just been waiting for the dev to add more content; that:s another game that i think more people should give love to because it blends shmup+roguelite formula better than any other attempt i:ve played and also never really let my expectations as a player down as i trusted it to unfold with content and excitement -- because that:s what i like about this trend of roguelite/meta-progression in games: games that use these are like constantly wanting to award you with more because it:s like they are just so eager to spend time with you and don:t want to let you down (at the least cynical)).

at the moment though i:m just playing DCSS cause i:m back in a "everything feels pretty dull and colorless at the moment" spell -- but again: that:s why i love stuff like picayune dreams and sci-fi harry; occasionally stuff surprises you with its love, its passion, and you can:t help but let yourself be affected, and i like being affected.

take care.

General 1, 9

Story 6, 8

Romance 7, 9

Companion!Tav asks

General

Where can your Tav be recruited?  Are they first encountered on the Nautiloid, or in the Nautiloid crash region?  Or are they not recruitable until a later act?

Xa'rok could first be encountered on the Nautiloid moving around between the room with those hivemind chairs and the tutorial chest and the room where you first encounter Us. In the case of the first they would have a reaction dialogue to the player character when the player sits in the chair and expresses hearing voices.

"Yes! It's connecting us, all of us, to the ship itself. Remarkable, isn't it? It really is alive."

They would be sitting somewhere across the room from the player in another chair but within eyesight and you could either try speaking to them through the tadpole link (heightened by the hivemind) or walk up and initiate conversation.

In the case of the latter they would be found tucked in the corner with the qualith slates and move around the room, inspecting everything. spouting idle dialogue relevant to the slates' contents along with wonder at being able to comprehend them. If interrupted they would brush the player off with "Not now, I'm busy." "Come back later." "Less talking, can't you see I'm reading? Well, not exactly reading..."

In either case they wouldn't actually be recruitable until you find them again on the beach among the wreckage. They could be found wandering the whole of the crash site, observing and lamenting the loss of what they hadn't had a chance to study. If you don't interact with/recruit them then, they would appear later at the creche down on the cliffside back entrance. You would run into them picking the lock on the door and could initiate conversation there. If the player is not a gith and there are no gith in the party, they would offer to be the party's ambassador and lead them through the creche safely. If the player character is a gith or you have Lae'zel in your party, they would defer to the player's judgement/let the player lead, but act a little cagey (haven't been to a creche since their exile and they are unsure what to expect, fighting both a weird sense of sonder and an instinctive recoil, but the player would not get any of this information until approval develops, which could happen easily as they explore the creche provided you do so without inciting violence as an opening salvo).

9. Does your Tav have any escalating conflicts with one of the other companions, like Lae’zel and Shadowheart’s knife-fight?

Xa'rok and Lae'zel would likely start out fine until Lae'zel spent enough time with them to realize how 'sympathetic' they are to the ghaik and how unresistant they are to both the tadpoles, and the concept of their infection. It wouldn't turn into an actual fight (at least not in the first act), but depending on the player choices (desire to engage with tadpoles etc), there may be a cutscene where Lae'zel and Xa'rok exchange tense words and Lae'zel threatens Xa'rok similarly to how she threatens the player just before the first Guardian dream: that whatever their sympathies and preferences, should Xa'rok complete ceremorphosis within earshot/eyesight of Lae'zel, she wouldn't hesitate to kill them.

This tension balloons up and down as the story progresses, especially if you keep both Xa'rok and Lae'zel in your party at the same time during specific points (namely, the creche and resulting fallout, and meeting the Emperor/the honor guard fight at the top of act 3)

Xa'rok implicitly trusts the Guardian and later champions the Emperor, which obviously leads to tension with Lae'zel over Orpheus. (They are, however, all for infiltrating the House of Hope and should both Lae'zel and Xa'rok be together in the party when the player makes the decision to open the portal, there would be idle banter about their goals in going. Xa'rok would make it clear they have no intention of taking the Hammer and only intend to put Raphael in his place, but they would approve of freeing Hope)

I suppose it depends on player choices as to whether Lae'zel and Xa'rok ever come to blows over their divisive goals, actually. I hate to step in on Shadowheart's feud but given how in opposition their allegiances seem, it would maybe come down to dialogue choices and/or persuasion/deception rolls to avoid an actual fight later in the game. To add salt to the wounds, Xa'rok would actually get along well with Shadowheart.

Story

6. Will they stay with the Player Character regardless of siding with the goblins or the tieflings, or is it possible for them to leave the party permanently?

They would approve of any diplomatic/persuasive/deceptive/non-combative means of resolving conflict, but ultimately the tiefling/goblin feud is not personal and the outcome has little bearing on their relation to the player. They would disapprove of massacring the Grove on principle (choice words about alternative solutions spoken) but doing so wouldn't result in them leaving.

Part of me wants to say they would treat the conflict as a trial run for their own diplomatic powers of persuasion/future plans, but there's no real way to navigate that situation without killing one side, so it'd be an ultimate lose/lose. I think as a response, though, this would leave them very introspective and maybe a little maudlin at the party.

8. Do they have comments on who the Player Character chooses to spend the night with? 

They are a bard and like to gossip, but it would depend on their relation/approval with the player character and their relationship to the character the player slept with.

Low approval/Low Relation: "Hmm. Not who I would have gone with."

Medium approval/Medium Relation: "Interesting choice. Not sure who it says more about, you or (him/her)."

High approval/High relation: "You and (companion) disappeared awful quickly. Anything interesting to tell?"

Romance

7. What questions can Zethino ask the PC about Tav in the Love Test? 

"What, to them, is Xa'rok's life's purpose?" (Answer: To be an instrument for unity, cooperation, and change in shedding the shackles of the past for a new future.)

"The gith speaks often, and well, but how much of what they say is true?" (Answer: As much as needs to be. They are not above using their natural charm for their own ends.)

"Xa'rok - What calls to them the loudest?" (Answer: the unending song of the Astral sea.)

9. How do they react if the PC has sex with Mizora? The Emperor?  Haarlep?

Mizora: Wary confusion. A little disgusted. (After Raphael, they can't stand fiends) "Really? Her? Lured in by a false tongue. Feeling any different this morning? Less...intact? Soul-wise, I mean."

The Emperor: They would be one of the ones to stumble in on you but they wouldn't react with disgust. They would stare. Hungrily. Curious. If the Emperor didn't wipe everyone's minds of the encounter, or the player mentioned it in passing, they would have soooo many questions you very quickly get the sense that they're jealous (of the encounter, not personally) and also really interested. Similar sort of dialogue tree to asking Karlach about fighting in the Hells, but they will scientifically interrogate you about your sexual encounter.

Haarlep: Polite disinterest. No particular commentary. Except perhaps to disparage Raphael. They would disapprove though once Haarlep's game manifested in the real world as a consequence. Gross.

Watched the tenth episode of LEGO DreamZzz: LOVED IT!

So I actually watched this episode a whole while ago but forgot to post this... BUT NOW THE SECOND PART OF SEASON 1 IS ALL OUT SO I NEED TO PUT MY THOUGHTS DOWN 😍😍

Also the LEGO Youtube channel continues to bless me with shorts of the series, I'm already a huge fan of Draw with Mateo, and now we got Logan's Training Tutorials (he got such a massive ego istg 😂) AND EVEN AN ANIMATED SHORT CALLED "DREAMOLITION DUO VS THE MUTATED MATH MONSTERS" 🤩🤩🤩 (that one was EXCELLENT, I really hope we get more of those with that style)

Since all the new episodes dropped at the same time I might just make a single or two posts about all of them, we'll see! It's literally just for me to scream about how I love this show 🥰

Anyway, without further ado, let's get into this!

THE GRIM ESCAPE

This coach is pretty narrow minded, but I never had a PE teacher that wasn't 100% convinced gym was everything, so 😂

Dreamcrafting as a concept feels like elemental powers from Ninjago: it's likely the most powerful thing there is, but in most situations it gets nullified or nerfed so it's hard to use it all the time with no limits 😅😅 It does make sense for this place to be no imagination zone, though

I'm sure Logan feels very guilty for the mess he got into, but I do hope he doesn't get forgiven immediately, so I'm glad Mateo is genuinely upset at him

COOP NO 😱

Okay thank goodness 😂

Glad Logan isn't here to hear these orders and not follow them (sorry Logan 😅)

Edison bomb, we had the Edison ray before, I find it funny that the focus is on the guy that dreamed about his inventions

Mmmmm, I'm interested in the Night Hunter, I think there's more to him

LOGAN YOU GOT AMAZING FRIENDS YOU JUST GOTTA LEARN TO TREAT THEM BETTER I SWEAR THEY'RE ON THEIR WAY SWEETIE 😭😭

To be fair, he's doing pretty good on his own for not being able to dreamcraft

LIL BUDDY ACQUIRED 💙

Wolf wolf wolf wolf wolf- also interesting that this are the most normal creatures we saw so far, and it is in the place where the imagination is robbed and taken. Like here they don't waste time with creative creations like in the rest of the world

YES LOGAN TAKE THE HOURGLASS!!!

Yes Logan take your time 😅

Feels like karma Logan getting Stinkbrain as a nick he doesn't like, after mocking Mateo about Mattie this whole time

Z BLOG FIGHT Z BLOB FIGHT I ALWAYS LOVE WHEN THE LIL GUY APPEARS 💚

This show really says "best plan is run" 😂

I love Sneaky, someone needs to humble Logan a little bit... okay A LOT

Everyone loves and cares for Teo so much! LOVE ME A GOOD SUPPORTIVE TEAM 🩷

I still wonder where Zoe found her bow, and if there is a connection over the fact that she got a bow and the Night Hunter got a crossbow, they are the only ones with actual weapons and they are both long range kind of weapons

NUUUUU GOT CAPTURED

No worries mah boy Teo is out there with Z Blob I'm sure he'll think of something!!... oh yeah there's Logan too 😅

Z BINOCULAR WTF

AWWWWWWWWWW MATEO HUGGING LOGAN THAT WAS SO CUTE!!! 💚💙💚💙 Despite being mad at him and with reason too, he was still worried about him! That's why I love him 🥰🥰

Oh, this is nice, Mateo didn't forgive him but he sees that Logan cares. And Logan for once asked him what's the plan, instead of going on a limb as usual! GROWTH!!! 💙

"Everytime I dreamcraft, bad things happen! And then we do a lot of running!"

"Welcome to my world!"

LOL loved that

AWWWWWW!! This is what I was talking about when I said Teo is a great leader, and knows that now Logan can give a great input since he can't dreamcraft like the others! I know I'm focusing on Teo so much but he is my favourite, so 😅💚💚💚

TEO GOT AN IDEAAAAAAAA

Coop getting PTSD from that cage, the poor thing! Do not bring him back in! 😱

Even the Night Hunter is afraid of the Grimwolf! Just what kind of things are living in this place??

OMG TEO ALMOST GOT STABBED BY ZOE'S ARROW TO SAVE LOGAN MY GOSH 😱😱😱 ... I wonder if I can make a fanfiction out of this one 😂

Aww Logan was apologizing for once in his life! Lol Mr. Oz is so confused

"Drive it like you stole it!" Logan, 2023

DREAMBASH!! Okay I saw the LEGO sets for this one, but this is such a cool thing for Cooper and Logan to share! ❤️💙

LOGAN YOU DID NOT CALL A MONKEY SUS WHAT IS THIS SHOW 😂

Okay but Logan jumping off the ship to get back the hourglass? Teo and Sneaky following suit? Mr. Oz being absolutely done with these kids' recklessness? I loved that sequence so much 😂

EDISON BOMB!!!!

Wait Sneak didn't die, he ran away? To avoid the ray? So he's alive? I hope so!!

Poor Logan, he met a good friend...

WAIT WHAT'S THAT HAT?

WAIT THE NIGHT HUNTER FREED THE NIGHTMARE KING??

WAIT SNEAK IS ACTUALLY BAD??? WHAT NO COME ON THE ONE PERSON THAT LOGAN BEFRIENDED RIGHT AWAY!!!

Pff, does the Night Hunter not know Mateo's name? Little artiste?

WAIT WHAT NO NO NO DO NOT EVEN THINK OF DOING ANYTHING TO Z BLOB OR I WILL KILL EVERYONE IN THIS ROOM AND THEN MYSELF 😡😡😡

So now the Nightmare King is after the Waking World... GREAT 😅

I NEED MORE EPISODEEEEESSS 😍😍

[yellowsomethings]

beans exchange letter 2023

hi its us thebeans you have been selected to secret us a santa !! this is going to be a bit of a tutorial letter so everyone else knows what exchange letters are like, so rest assured it will be as comprehensive as i can manage. remember that you do not need to fulfill All of the conditions the recipient lists, just at least one of them to the best of your ability. woo

want:

1. hermits

big fan of grian, scar, mumbo, ren, doc, bdubs, zed, joe hills, things of this nature. i think the slapfight goes here if it goes anywhere. we have seen seasons 6/7/8/9 and a little of season 5 so if you go before that we will probably be Confused but Willing To Roll With It. idk theres the wonderful world of hermits and crafting

2. lifes

you are probably well aware the extent to which we like the life series. things you could cover include property police kiss on the mouth secret life (or property police cold patrol new life which isn't getting its own entire bullet but it's a thing), treebark slash fairydog slash renb, toxic yaoi majorwood, the bad boys, last life grumbo, idk get silly with it !! slash p or slash r it is all good <- applies to all listed items in this letter not just here

3. empires

empires:). for season 1 there's flower husbands; you could do kathgempearl or some duo permutation; arenaduo; the whole wra tbh; smallidarizzie trio; scott and xornoth content (you could write the one billionth postcanon xornoth finds out what happened fic if you wanted). for season 2 HEAVENTRIO OBVIOUSLY; or arenaduo again or hallelujahduo or roundhousekickduo which i still need to come up with a better name for; best buds jim and joel; kathgem; pixlriffs; the crossover; fairytale trio i also like; maybe some olieddie as a treat if you're so inclined

4. eswap

free space basically. scottpearl !!!!!!! or arenaduo or kathgempearl again (or duo permutation) or pearl and pix bonding maybe idk what the state of eswap is gonna be pixwise by the end of november. or if some other part of eswap compels you then go for it. you might wanna write the watcher grian crossover idea that jay2 had that one time. up to u :D

5. pirates/rats

yeah babyyyyyy this is the writing to pander to littlesound zone. i love datastream martyn interacting with this-is-just-their-world other characters such as oli or sausage or olive or shelby or owen or scar or other people that don't start with the letters o and s. kisstrels obviously (including shep and shub); you could do property police with martyn and safety rat; farmer rat scott, baker rat lizzie, he had a pretty sweet bond with will. maybe mratyn watching as oli tries and fails to seduce the butler with cringefail affection in his eyes. maybe mratyn trying and failing to seduce one of the brown wild dogs at the edge of the grounds while scott looks on in disappointment. p!bek is canonically aroace so if you write pirate bekel you'd probably get Comments about it but like if you don't fear the fandom then fuck it. SPEAKING OF:

6. witchcraft

YURI OPPORTUNITY AGAIN BUT FOR BEK INSTEAD! beky's finally figured out her witchcraft bek au which is that el is a not-so-famous witchtuber and bek is one of her few very dedicated commenters so when el randomly stumbles across the supreme witch crown where scott dropped it then she ends up asking bek what to do and they bond from there, so you may wanna do something with that.

7. dsmp

if you are dsmp inclined and you want to go classic style then you cannot go wrong with a little bit of crimboy/clingy. bee/bench and michael could also be fun; i like niki, big q, JACK MANIFOLD, fundy, eret, hbomb, foolish, and i miss honq every day babyyyy <- not every day but often. if you'd like to add to the hit canon ao3 tag tommyinnit crashes own funeral (dream smp) then that would be very welcomed too, i canonised that shit with my bare hands

8. au ideas

well i said all of that for canon concepts but what if you want to write/draw an alternate universe? goooo fuckin crazy with it my friend. some concepts i enjoy reading are: royalty; urban/low fantasy; newly discovered/obtained superpowers; domestic roommates setting; famous & doesnt give a shit about that fame; creative type & muse; guardian angel & human. idk have fun!

9. not mcyt

i'm adding this section because i know some people will want to do this but mine will be quite short because i . do not watch anything else. uhhhh the magnus archives. moon knight 2022. i like quite a lot of musical theatre but mostly the modern post hamilton shit and i have not seen hadestown. thubs up

do not want

don't do scottpearl if it isn't eswap please! or any hermit pearl actually! uhhh nothing particularly viscerally gorey but it's ok if people die or get injured. this isn't a dnw but it is a specification, if you would like to trans some genders and neo some pronouns then you should feel absolutely free to go ahead love is love. i think i'm gonna make no nsfw a rule for the entire exchange so i don't need to clarify that. probably best to have minimal cleo inclusion if any. any fics which are specifically about the moment after a life series game where characters see each other and talk about what happened because those are weirdly common and we don't like it and it feels weird. no blinding, no throats slit, no being suffocated/choked. ummm ya if you arent sure whether something would be ok then go ahead and ask!

will write

this one is gonna be much shorter

hermits: bdubs cub doc gem scar grian joe pearl ren tango xb zed cleo

life series: scott ren martyn pearl joel grian scar bdubs lizzie skizz mumbo jimmy gem

empires 1: scott gem joey kath lizzie sausage pearl joel jimmy

empires 2: scott gem joey kath lizzie sausage pearl pix shelby joel jimmy oli

pirates: acho aimsey bek puffy eret scar guqqie martyn kyle sausage olive oli owen ros shelby scott el tubbo

rats: bek el jimmy lizzie martyn oli olive owen scott shelby tubbo

witchcraft: scott joey pris shelby el cleo

dsmp: eret callahan eryn bbh puffy phil niki karl sapnap george quackity foolish jack manifold hbomb fundy aimsey slime wilbur sam ranboo schlatt dream punz tommy tubbo techno dxd

misc: honestly i think if you asked me to write qsmp phil tubbo fit cellbit bagi bad foolish wilbur tallulah chayanne then i probably could at this point. but don't ask me to. also the afterlife/new life smp i will write for also

won't write

i'm sorry i can't write the copper people on empires i just have not seen them enough to. highly doubt my ability to write crastle/best/ties/similar groupings well. dear god please don't make me write the syndicate it won't be good for either of us. i will not write nature wives i can't do it to my girlo. pirates!scott ships also. if it's gonna get me cancelled then i may still be willing to write it but i will not post it on ao3, it's going straight into fools writing discussion channel when it goes live. i won't write . idk pregnancy? you probably weren't gonna ask for pregnancy. again feel free to ask :thumbsup:

[p5x-no-pull]

DAY ONE — 27 June

My playthrough begins like any other, with playing as Joker through the recreation of the Casino Palace, Wonder’s dream, blah blah blah you all know the drill by now. We don’t need a beginning recap of the plot. This challenge is what we’re interested in, so let’s speedrun all this.

But we officially introduce our protagonist…

Anyway that all done, Smart, who is not in fact Smart - what were his parents on - meets an owl who helps him awaken to his Persona who is undoubtedly more smarter than him. I love you Janosik.

One highlight later, we are now battle worthy and go kill some more Shadows. We get back to the real world, where the Contracts page opens up and I get free pulls which will never be used. I’ll definitely use these Meta Jewels for stamina though.

The P5 event also opens up, so there’s potential rewards for me. Here we also get usual events - I’m particularly interested in the Trials of the Deep event, which is a permanent event that gives you two characters and a weapon for free for beating Velvet Room trials. We’ll do that later. I also do Ren’s character trial to get building materials. There’s also rewards for unlocking Yui’s synergy which we will definitely do.

By completing this Metaverse tutorial and awakening we also unlock Lufel as a character. Thanks game. His synergy is automatic as well when we do unlock it so all’s well that ends well.

We get told about Menaces, meet Kiuchi, and Synergy becomes a thing. With Lufel, we officially become Phantom Thieves and unlock the Business Plan.

This Business Plan is something that terrifies me. It’s currently split into two plans, each with seven steps. Each step unlocks after doing a certain amount of quests from the previous quest. However these quests are much easier depending on how many characters you have. That’s what makes this challenge especially difficult as the prize for Plan 1 is a free 5 star OG Phantom Thief - and I want to get my hands on Ann as she’s OP. Baby steps first though.

Me and Lufel go back to the Metaverse and get code names. We also kill some more Shadows while we’re at it. The P5 stuff happens and we meet back with Merope to unlock the gacha system. This is completely compulsory, so we go ahead with it and unlock our character Kotone.

Now this isn’t technically a pull as Kotone is a guarantee and we’re forced into it anyway. But that all said we now have Mont on the team. I think this game is showing me just a little mercy.

The rest of this process goes more or less alright, nothing much to say except getting used to this team structure. We do unlock the Thief app which lets us finally upgrade our team, even if we just have 3 characters. Luckily, one of Lufel’s recommended teams is with Kotone and Motoha, another story character, so nothing is the end of the world yet. We discover Kiuchi’s Palace and get stuck so we head back.

Me and Lufel get a grappling hook through crafting and hitting level 10 rewards me with… more pulls I can’t use. Nevermind. We go to bed, and the next day we get awoken by Lufel pecking us. We head to the Velvet Room and learn about ruin before heading back to the station, where Tomoko gets injured. As a result we get the Metaverse app officially and head over to the Palace again, unlocking the Phantom Pass. The grappling hook gets used and we infiltrate.

Everything goes as normal from this point on. We take on the Palace and Shadows. I unlock Persona Training and get my first additional Persona Pixie. Motoha officially awakens and joins the team, gaining us a fourth party member.

With everything done up to there, I finish Step 1, giving me Wonder’s weapon Midnight Sun. Motoha’s 4 star weapon comes from the free guaranteed compulsory weapon pull.

TBC later I’m tired of typing

[terramythos]

while replaying deltarune (once more. god) i'm have been dumping dialogue/flavor text/visual bits i find interesting (to me anyway) in the current post episode 4 context

under the cut

chapter 1

obviously knew the SOUL goes in there if you finish chapter 1 but directly controlling it in the overworld trying to escape/navigate makes me assume it's tried to escape quite a lot. other than kris throwing it in there.

i don't think he talks much about his history books when you meet him. like during the fight mostly talks about lord of the hammer? and is more fixated on susie than kris

when kris doesn't respond to her question-- makes me wonder if they really CAN'T respond there

not that susie would have done it anyway but now we know why she has a high opinion of toriel. also the thing about 'burying her child' - kind of relevant with the whole dess thing, assuming she is in fact dead

i didn't get the screenshot, but you 'save over' kris' file and replace it with your name, which is interesting. why do they have one in the first place? and why would reaching out to it be second nature, beyond it being obviously a save point from undertale (since there's a non-zero chance the player never played that game). this makes me wonder if kris explored dark worlds before as themself without the SOUL's intervention.

i have no earthly idea what these fucking things are but they show up in chapter 3 too. some attack you too as the little tutorial bit, those ones are dark though

👁

(obviously the eye is an intentional reference/setup for their prevalence in ch 4, but the building material and dark gaps do specifically remind me of when you climb the titan)

i also don't know what the fuck these actually are. i know we hide behind them but they seem to be breathing or sleeping. but if you interact with them they blow away and leave a husk (and kind of make a coughing noise-- not sure). makes me think they're a representation of dreams, maybe?

obviously it's not, and we do encounter total darkness later where you really can't see anything. so what is meant by this

kind of funny with the eyes. though you get this dialogue in various places so it's not necessarily related lmao

a dark fountain is what wakes up the titan in chapter 4

i wonder if ralsei even HAS his goatlike form before he encounters kris and susie. if he exists at all before we come here?

this also makes me wonder if there is an entity that made the prophecy or if it's just a universal constant? seems like the latter based on chapter 4 but we are probably supposed to subvert it in some manner. anyway, ralsei says in chapter 4 that he knows the entire prophecy (and thus, knows everything that will happen in the story beforehand)

i never told him 'no' about hearing the prophecy so this is a fun reaction. i'm mostly going to try being a dickhead this playthrough

... do we, beyond the meta sense?

i kind of feel bad lmfao

Homework Battles at Home? Let Home Tuition in Dehradun Be Your Secret Weapon!

Ever feel like every evening turns into a battlefield of books, pencils, and frustration? If homework time in your home sounds more like a wrestling match than a learning opportunity, you're not alone. Many parents in Dehradun face the same struggle—but the solution might be just around the corner.

Enter: Home Tuition in Dehradun – the ultimate secret weapon for stress-free, productive learning at home!

The Daily Homework Struggle Is Real

Whether it's tears over math problems, complaints about boring subjects, or the dreaded “I don’t understand this,” homework has a way of turning peaceful households into chaotic ones. And let’s face it—after a long day at work, the last thing you want to do is play part-time teacher.

Parents are juggling more responsibilities than ever before. In the race between managing home, work, and quality time, homework often ends up being a ticking time bomb. But here's the good news: you don’t have to go through this alone.

Why Home Tuition in Dehradun Is the Game-Changer

When school hours aren’t enough and self-study becomes a mess of confusion, home tuition fills the gap perfectly. And Saraswati Tutorials has emerged as a trusted name in providing reliable, effective, and personalized Home Tuition in Dehradun.

Here’s how the magic happens:

1. Personalized Attention

In a classroom of 30–40 students, teachers can't give individual attention. But at home, your child becomes the focus. The tutor understands your child's learning style, strengths, and weaknesses, and works accordingly.

2. Stress-Free Environment

No blackboards. No raised hands. No fear of "looking dumb." Home Tuition in Dehradun allows children to ask questions freely, make mistakes, and learn at their own pace – without judgment.

3. Consistent Academic Growth

From daily homework to long-term syllabus planning, Saraswati Tutorials’ expert tutors provide a structured learning environment that promotes better grades, improved confidence, and deeper understanding.

4. Better Time Management

Why waste hours in traffic commuting to coaching centers? With Home Tuition in Dehradun, your child learns from the comfort of home – saving time, energy, and peace of mind.

Say Goodbye to Homework Headaches

Still wondering if it's worth it? Let’s paint a picture:

Before Home Tuition: Every evening starts with nagging. Your child procrastinates. You're frustrated. The homework is only half done, and the learning is superficial.

After Home Tuition in Dehradun: The tutor arrives. The child is focused. Concepts are explained. Assignments are completed. And your living room is no longer a war zone.

Sounds like a dream, right? But it’s entirely achievable.

Real Benefits That Go Beyond Academics

Improved Communication Skills

With someone actively engaging them in discussions and Q&As, kids naturally become better communicators—a skill that pays dividends for life.

Custom Learning Plans

Each child is different. One may excel in science but falter in English. Saraswati Tutorials ensures that your child gets a tailored learning plan based on their academic needs.

Parental Peace of Mind

Knowing that an expert is handling the academic side means less pressure on you as a parent. You can focus on being supportive instead of stressed.

Finished the prologue of Omori after like 5 hours XD

✨spoilers for anything past the prologue✨

Kinda just liveblogging my gameplay

Still haven't found Basil but Irl Basil is okay (?) at least

Irl Aubrey is a jerk

Sunny leaves his house after like 4 years (is this kid okay) and gets into several fights, bringing a knife I forgot he had to a playground argument

I think everyone drifted apart and, since they seem younger in the prologue and irl Sunny wakes up after.. leaving white space, I think part of it takes place in a dream where Sunny/Omori is thinking about his friends still being together in his dreams

MARI'S DEAD?! (Giving more evidence to my dream/memory theory)

Oh Mewo is/was Mari's cat

The photo album is so cute (I wonder if the photos Aubrey kept were of Mari?)

Wait wait wait so if Mari's been dead for a few years, then it can't have been Mari at the door during the prologue then, maybe it was a good thing I didn't let her in

I wonder what happened to Mari

Should I have left Basil by himself?

Eugh.. spiders

Spooky spider guy with the dumb face I saw earlier

Looks like "Something" is just teaching Sunny coping mechanisms

Well.. at least Memory Mari's still alive

So it looks like Something not only teaches Sunny(/Omori) how to calm down and stuff, but also overcome those fears (Heights, Spiders)

Also this boy is tough as hell, he really holds on to that last hit point huh? Edit: I guess that's for the tutorial XD I just died lmao

Edit again: No, Omori is definitely a little tougher

Thank god for Mari's picnic blanket for some reason I can't figure out where I have to go and keep almost dying

Seriously where is Basil?!

Waiiiitt is that why the picnic baskets irl are "empty picnic baskets" instead of "Mari's picnic basket"? ;-;

These sprout moles are giving White Pearl energy

THIS GUY'S A HEALING BOSS NOOOO

So I died, gonna have to do it again

King crawler has killed me 6 times

HAHA SUCK IT KING CRAWLER

How the hell did Mari get down here before us 😭

"Hero left your party" Are we gonna get him back?

Short people get sent to the dungeon
