#and you can copy the weirdest stuff!

[quantomeno]

There's a bunch of games I really like which honestly have glaring flaws or are just kind of dumb or the mechanics are really repetitive

But they're really fun for me and I have played them to death in some cases. These are the

Games I Love But Wouldn't Necessarily Recommend Playing

Today the spotlight shines on...

Cookie Shop

Why is there a human girl on the cover? She has nothing to do with the game and doesn't even match the artstyle.

And the art is so cute! Look at my favourite character, Fudge:

As you can guess by the cover, it's a DS game. You play as Rose, a pastry chef who has opened a pastry shop (not a cookie shop) in a department store.

There she is. Look at her soulless eyes and adorable ears.

Her goal in life is to become the best pastry chef in the building (the department store has like ten shops that sell sweets and pastries). So she goes about her days practising her skills, cooking, thinking up recipes, decorating her shop, monitoring her sale numbers, shopping, helping out the other shop owners and competing in contests.

So like, all the characters are fun. They don't say all that much on a typical day, but there'll be events where they ask for help and it triggers a mini game and everyone gets pretty well-established personalities. There's your archnemesis, Peachy.

She's kind of mean to you which I like. And she has an assistant (I think she's her niece or cousin?) called Cassis:

Who has a bizarre sort of catchphrase of "get your butt in here". Sometimes I think she hates me more than Peachy does.

I dunno, I find them all really fun. And you can give them presents on their birthday and stuff. So that side it's all good. And the minigames (which also happen when you cook recipes for the first time) are also decently fun.

Now, the problems with the game: first, you only get two things you can do per day. Some things you can do infinitely (buy ingredients, for example) but any sort of event (e.g. special conversations, mini games) or cooking will take up a block of time. You only have two blocks which means you can only cook twice per day.

This wouldn't be a big deal, because the way the game works once you've cooked a dish once you can add it to your menu and you never need to make more: there's no 'stock' of food you need to replenish. No, the problem is that food has quality levels. There are ELEVEN 'taste levels'. Every five times you cook a dish the taste level goes up. That means you need to cook a dish FIFTY TIMES to get it up to perfect and that equals 25 in game days of just cooking. The game has a full 365 day calendar, and it just keeps going on forever even after you manage to become the best store, but ugh... after the first time, cooking is just pressing a button on the screen and then choosing the recipe. It is the most boring thing. And you kind of really do need to get recipes up pretty high for them to be actually good.

I mean it when I say I love this game. But no, I would not say you should play it. It is incredibly cute and is really detailed in the number of recipes and stores and all the different events. If you mix things up and cook once per day or something it might be more bearable, but you do need those higher level recipes to win contests (which are often themed, so you can only enter specific sweets) or get more people buying them.

All they had to do to make this game perfect was rejig the cooking mechanic or make the days longer. Even one more activity slot would have helped.

And yet I still played it. I love this game.

Could you write something where Joaquin Torres tells reader that he’s falling in love with her after a date and she doesn’t believe him or is self-conscious (fluff and angst)? 🥰

"Coffee And Doubt"

[Joaquin Torres x fem!reader]

Masterlist

Summary: Joaquin says something difficult to accept...

Warnings: Light angst, self-esteem issues, fluff

Word Count: 853 words

A/N: First Joaquin fic!🥳

You spilled an iced latte on him the first time you met.

It was your third shift at the Brooklyn café, and Joaquin had been leaning against the counter, all easy smiles and worn leather jackets, asking about the "weirdest drink on the menu." You'd fumbled the cup while explaining the Cinnamon Smoke Bomb, a monstrosity of espresso, cayenne, and caramel, and watched in horror as it soaked his sleeve. Instead of scowling, he'd laughed, and said, "Guess I'll have to come back tomorrow so you can redeem yourself."

True to his word, he did. And the next day. And the day after that, always lingering to ask about your favourite books, hobbies, the parts of your life you didn't think anyone cared to notice. By the time he finally asked you out, you'd memorized his order (black coffee, two sugars, and a secretly smuggled chocolate croissant 'for luck'), and he'd memorized the way your eyes lit up when you talked about your interests.

He saw you—really saw you—long before you let yourself believe it.

It was your fifth date when he said those words.

You were having lunch at the Ivy, a diner near your work. It was a nice, casual, and cosy place, one you and Joaquin had quickly taken to. You had had your first date here too, and Joaquin had insisted on bringing you here again after one of his missions. You knew about his work, he had told you pretty early on(he said it was because he didn't want to 'deceive' you, but you had a feeling his pride in his title as the new Falcon also had a part in it).

Joaquin sat across from you, his thumb tracing the rim of his coffee mug, a habit he'd picked up after missions when his hands needed something steady to hold. You'd learned that about him. Just like he'd learned you hummed when nervous.

"You're staring," you said, nudging his boot under the table.

"Am I?" He grinned, unapologetic, the diner's neon glow softening the edges of his face. "Can't help it. You've got…" He gestured vaguely at your cheek. "Syrup. Right there."

You swiped at your face, flushing. "Liar. I didn't even order pancakes."

"Your loss." He leaned back, all lazy confidence, but his knee bounced faintly—a tell. You'd come to recognize those too.

The waitress refilled your waters, and Joaquin waited until she left before clearing his throat. "So. I've been thinking…"

Your stomach dropped. Here it comes. The 'let's just be friends' speech. The 'work is too hectic' excuse. You'd rehearsed for this moment since date three when he'd shown up with an annotated copy of a book you mentioned loving. No one did that. No one remembered.

"—falling for you," he said.

You blinked. "What?"

He huffed a laugh, rubbing his neck. "Yeah. Uh. Hard. Which is… terrifying, honestly. But also kind of amazing?" His voice softened, earnest in a way that made your ribs ache. "You're… different. In the best way. You just… see me. And I—"

"Stop." The word came out sharper than you'd meant.

He froze. "What's wrong?"

"Don't," You gripped your napkin, shredding the edges. "Don't do that. You don't have to say stuff just because you think I want to hear it."

His brow furrowed. "You think I'm lying?"

"No, I—" You laughed, brittle. "C'mon, Joaquin. Look at you. You're… you. And I'm… some girl who works at a café and reads too much. You'll get bored. Or realize I'm not… enough."

The words hung there, raw and too honest. You braced for him to sigh, to agree, to walk away.

Instead, he reached across the table, his calloused fingers brushing yours. "You really don't get it, do you?" His voice was quiet, fierce. "That time you ranted about Pride and Prejudice for twenty minutes? I've never wanted to kiss someone more. Or when you helped that old lady carry her groceries in the rain—in your work apron—and came back soaked, grinning like you'd won the lottery? I live for that smile. And last week, when I came back from D.C. and you didn't ask about the mission, just… made me soup because I sounded tired on the phone?" He shook his head, wonder in his eyes. "That's why. Not in spite of who you are. Because of it."

Your throat tightened. "But… your life is so big. And I'm… small."

"You're not small." He squeezed your hand. "You're home."

The diner's noise faded. For a heartbeat, you let yourself believe him—let his words wrap around the bruised parts of you like a bandage. Then doubt crept back in. "What if you change your mind?"

He smirked, that infuriating, beautiful smirk. "Guess you'll have to stick around to find out."

You didn't say it back. Not yet. But when he walked you home, his jacket slung over your shoulders against the chill, you let him kiss you—slow, sweet, and tasting of cinnamon—and decided, maybe, home wasn't such a bad thing to be.

I loved the story you did the other day about making a deal with a devil. Could I make a deal with him? You see I’m a huge fan of Zeb Atlas and I want to be just like him. A huge muscular alpha gay male porn star. You think he’d be interested in doing that for me?

Oh thank god. I don’t want to be unprofessional but I’m really glad someone asked about this. Since my last post with Nick, the one where he helped me turn one guy into five by splitting his soul, Nick has been in a bit of trouble. Technically speaking a lot of what Nick does, hanging out with mortals, dating my Uncle, helping me with my work, is kind of frowned upon by the forces of Hell. Hell is not as strict as you might think, since their entire thing is sin and doing what they’re not supposed to, but there are some things that a devil isn’t supposed to do, and using their powers during anything but a deal is a big one. I think making another deal could definitely help smooth things over, especially since he's been so busy with helping me and has kind of neglected his work lately. There is a little problem with your request though. I, personally, try to avoid anything with celebrities in them, not because they don’t use magic or tf stuff, but since reporting on them can draw a little too much attention. However, you said you want to be LIKE Zeb Atlas, not that you wanted to be him or transform him in some way. Plus he is extremely hot, and he isn’t a super big mainstream celebrity, so I think I can get away with it. Let's turn you into a Zeb Atlas look alike!

See, my friend Nick isn’t just going to turn you into someone kind of like Zeb Atlas. For the price you’re paying, you’re going to be turned into an exact copy of Zeb Atlas. From the manly jawline and cocky smirk, to the huge biceps and sexy, almost shockingly wide shoulders, you’re going to practically be his twin. To be clear, you aren’t actually going to be his twin, you’re going to be his doppelganger. I know that sounds weird, but it’s actually weirdly common. A lot of people have doppelgangers, and while both doppelgangers being bodybuilding pornstars is a little unlikely, it wouldn’t be the weirdest thing to ever happen. You won’t have a tattoo like he does, so you’ll have a few differences, but besides that the two of you are going to be almost identical. Even your personalities will be similar, and the same cocky, confident swagger he has will be in every move you make. The best part? You’ll actually get to meet Zeb! Two alpha males who work in porn, it only makes sense for you guys to do some scenes together. People love the ‘getting fucked by twins’ fantasy afterall. Even more, because of your similar personalities, you’ll spend time together outside of work. Soon Zeb Atlas and Zack Titan (thats your porn name) will be fucking inseparable. 

Of course there is a price to pay, and in this case it's going to be a pretty hefty one. You won’t have to give up your soul or anything, since Nick usually gets his souls indirectly, but you will still have to give him something. Two things actually. The first thing Nick wants is your original selves apartment. I can’t be sure why, but I assume it has to do with some sort of long game he’s playing. The second thing he wants? Your and Zeb’s autographs. It’s not everyday you meet the two greatest porn stars of all time.

**I don't usually do TFs that involve real people, even slightly, but I couldn't resist something this hot. Hope you guys like it (and that I dont have to take it down lol)**

[sugardollcurse]

may i request any headcanons of the boys with an s/o who's a novelist (a paperback writerrrrr 📚📚)? like a professional, agatha christie / stephen king level of fame writer??

𝑏𝑒𝑎𝑡𝑙𝑒𝑠 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝑎 𝑛𝑜𝑣𝑒𝑙𝑖𝑠𝑡 𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑛𝑒𝑟

𐙚 note ; you’re feeding me gourmet with this one. I YEARN FOR THIS TO BE ME!! anyway here’s your big fat author/beatle brainrot platter xx

𓆩🕊️ john 𓆪

"You’re fucked in the head, love. Proper bent. It’s brilliant. No, I mean it!"

He reads everything you write.

Not always in the right order. Not always fully awake. Often drunk.

But he reads it and then won’t stop quoting you at breakfast like

“Y’wrote, ‘her mouth bloomed red as a crushed hibiscus.’ What the fuck’s a hibiscus?"

Calls your books “brain films.” Always pestering you to explain the weird bits, then getting mad when you do.

“Ugh no, don’t say it was metaphorical! It’s better when it’s fuckin’ spooky!”

Doodles potential book covers for you. Usually gruesome or obscene.

You’re like “this is a love story, John.”

He’s like “yeah, and love is fucked, so here’s a bleeding heart on fire.”

If someone ever disses your work in the press, he will threaten to mail them dogshit.

Did it once. He’s not proud, but he’s not sorry.

Tells people you’re smarter than him. Brags about it.

“They've got the brain, I’m just the dickhead with a guitar.”

He means it. Loves it.

𓆩🕊️ paul 𓆪

"Y’know, I told John... I told him, you've got that mad brain. Mad in a good way. Real twisty. It’s lovely, isn’t it?

He absolutely carries your books around with the title facing out like a proud mum with a school prize ribbon.

Always in his jacket pocket, signed of course, and he’s probably asked you to dedicate one to Paul, who gets to hear the saucy bits first.

Reads your work out loud to himself, dramatic voices and all. Adds his own little sound effects.

"BANG! And then she bloody caved his head in-oh, love, this bit’s ace.”

Calls you “me little paperback writer” constantly.

Never your name anymore. Even on the post-it notes he leaves on the kettle.

Will not shut up about you in interviews.

If you’re doing a signing, he will be there in sunglasses and a hat, pretending to be some rando fan, then causing a scene like,

“Oi! I shagged the author!”

Smug bastard.

Can’t stop smirking whenever he sees someone reading your book on the tube.

Has a whole catalogued mental list of all the weirdest places he’s caught someone flipping your pages.

𓆩🕊️ george 𓆪

"I think it’s dead great, y’know, that you do all that with words. All that twisty mind stuff.

Devours your work. Reads slowly, thoughtfully, with a pencil in hand like he’s going to take notes on every metaphor.

His copies are dog-eared, underlined, highlighted.

Brings your books to the studio. Not for clout, just to have you close.

Opens to a favourite passage when he’s stuck on a lyric.

Says your writing is like music.

“It’s got rhythm, y’know? I can hear it.”

Likes watching you work. Sits across the room and just stares at you for hours while you’re typing.

You’re like “can I help you?” and he’s just smiling, shaking his head. “You’re making a whole world in there.”

He’s quiet about his pride but fierce. If someone talks over you in a panel or interview, he’ll pull them aside later and say things.

Very softly. Very firmly. They don’t do it again.

Asks thoughtful questions. Wants to know where your ideas come from.

Begs to write the score if one of your novels gets adapted into a film.

Gets way too into it.

Ruffles your hair after you meet a deadline. Calls you “my little storyteller” when you’re half-asleep on his chest. Makes you feel mythical.

𓆩🕊️ ringo 𓆪

"I dunno how y’do it, love. I can barely write a postcard. And there you are makin’ murder mysteries with Latin quotes. Fuckin’ hell."

Ringo’s your biggest hype man.

Brings your books everywhere.

Bar. Plane. Dentist.

He reads slow but with real heart.

Laughs out loud when something’s funny.

Gasps when a character dies.

He’s just really dramatic about it, basically.

Asks if he’s ever gonna be in one. “Y’could kill me off! I’d like that. Poisoned by me own drumsticks. Classic.”

Keeps your headshot from the back of your book on the fridge.

Kissed the corner once and claimed it was a joke. It wasn’t.

Once tried to write a page of his own as a surprise. It was mostly swear words and a lot of spelling errors. You loved it anyway.

If you ever have a book tour, he comes to every event he can.

Front row.

Buys his own copy from the shop like a fanboy.

His favourite thing is when you read him drafts at night. Lies in bed, hands behind his head, eyes half-closed. “Tell me a story, love.”

Thinks you’re a genius. Like, genuinely.

Makes it sound like the highest compliment in the world.

Hey!! Can I please request headcanons of how Oikawa, Kuroo and Atsumu ask you out? Maybe even first date headcanons thrown in as well. You can write for one or two of them if you don't want all three. Thank you in advance <33

★ ASKING YOU OUT

୨ৎ featuring: oikawa tooru, kuroo tetsuro, atsumu miya

୨ৎ notes: FIRST RQ AND ITS ALREADY MOST OF MY FAVORITE BOYS!! ty anon hope u like it <3

★ TOORU OIKAWA ?!

This guy has no shame — he knows he's hot shit. Honestly, it's a miracle he didn't ask you out sooner. The only reason is that he doesn't want to mess things up with you. Getting broken up with by his last (and first) girlfriend hurt a bit more than he'd care to admit.

Butters you up throughout the day before actually asking, and he's SO obvious about it. "Have I told you that you're amazing, beautiful, drop-dead gorgeous, and—" okay Tooru we get it.

As for what the first date is... I want to say the movies, but I feel like he's the type that wants to actually talk instead of just sitting in silence for an hour or two. So maybe a coffee shop. (He doesn't like coffee at all but enjoys the tranquility of the place so he just asks for a hot cocoa or something).

Throws the weirdest questions at you to get to know you better. They're not weird, per se, but definitely unusual, and he gets a little poetic with it. First one he asked was "If you had to pick a favorite moment in your entire life, what would it be?"

Insists on taking you home after. One, because he wants to make sure you get there safe, two, because he's a total romance sap and will try to kiss you at your doorstep after thanking you and emphasizing that he had such a great time.

★ KUROO TETSURO ?!

Okay look... I know this is supposed to be how they ask you out but Kuroo is such a sneaky fucker I feel like he'd somehow turn things around and make it look like YOU'RE the one asking HIM out.

See my vision: you ask him for help with chemistry because he's a total nerd, and he does that coy "Hmmm dunno, will I help you?" thing even though he definitely will, he just wants you to look a little desperate. When you insist he just kind of sighs and goes "Fine, fine. I'll go on a study date with you. Don't keep me waiting, tiny." and he just LEAVES while you're standing there like ???

The date itself is pretty much what you would expect in a study date — just him explaining the subject and looking incredibly hot doing so for absolutely no reason, but he's a bit more touchy than usual. Sitting next to you and wrapping an arm around your shoulder while he uses his free hand to leaf through the book. Tucking a strand of hair behind your ear while you write stuff down. I'm going to be sick.

Doesn't do anything too forward, meaning he doesn't try to kiss you unless you do first, but he will suggest "We should do this at my place next time," with a shit eating grin on his face.

★ ATSUMU MIYA ?!

He tries his best to be casual about it and bring it up naturally. The last thing he wants is to look desperate (even though he definitely is), so he just keeps dropping hints until he finds a good opening to ask.

Restaurant date! No way Osamu is the only one who loves food. He just kind of mentions offhandedly that a new place just opened nearby and they have the best tempura. You say that you're hungry and he just grins. "Perfect. Let's go, then." He's already walking so you don't have time to think about it too much and change your mind.

For some reason I feel like he's a bit of a clown when he likes someone. You know the type. Will probably have you choking on your food a few times that night. But he's also a damn show off, so he insists on paying (even though he doesn't have money to spare like that).

He's already internally sighing when he realizes he's gonna have to borrow money from Osamu to make up for what he spent on your date, but he immediately forgets about it when he sees the happy look on your face.

"cats are dogs" "yea they're basically animals so they're the same!"

will ask to copy homework EVERY. SINGLE TIME.

he claims that he trusts you like you grades vould be going downhill and he would still borrow urs

is the type of person to accidentally copy the name too

such a virgin everyone says he's a major f-boy but in reality he has never felt another person touch him romantically

he gives you goofy grins whenever he does sth stupid (and when he does it's mostly bc he wants to see you laugh)

calls you the most ridiculous pet names "sugar bby pookie bear"

also likes referring to you as candies like he called you liquorice one time???

"can I kiss u babe" "yeah lemme put on lip gloss rq" *proceedes to spend 10 whole minutes smacking his lips and applying lip gloss*

TAKES THE WORST DATING ADVICE EVER FROM THE TRIO

"guys where shld I bring (name) on a date?" "Bring her to a sewer, that way they'll be scared and hug you."-geto "idk a therapist?"-shoko (in the end you were just grossed out, but he somehow makes it sweet and wholesome at the same time?)

✰GETO

he texts you a lot of memes (I'm sure this is widely agreed throughout the fandom lol)

doesn't hug you a lot in public but he does wrap his arm around your shoulder

he wouldn't be reallyyyy affectionate but if you are he'll accept your hugs with a little smile

he likes my melody more than kuromi

his love language is quality time, sometimes you'll spend dates just lounging out on the couch and doing nothing. However, he thinks it's much nicer than just being by himself

really great memory, he notices those small details about you that no one else does, or even the ones you're unaware of like when you always fold a napkin when you're at a restaurant yk hes cute like that

asks the weirdest questions ever: "do you think I'm a squirrel or a chipmunk?" respond with "I think you're an idiot" QUICK!!!

he gets super moody when his hair ties are missing, he has a whole bag of them at his dorm

allows you to give him silly hairstyles when he's sleepin <3

loves truth or dare and 20 questions

has a weird obsession with puzzles and he likes it if he’s piecing one together with you

he also gets competitive without knowing. Like even with you if you guys are at an arcade and you win him at basketball hoops he’s bitter

”let’s do it again I was not ready” “you said that 5 times and I still won” “NO”

he believes in astrology stuff

is more emotionally attracted to people than physically

he may come off as cold but he just doesn’t express as much as gojo

he sometimes paints (mostly watercolor) and a lot of them are of you or are inspired by you <333

MY POOKIE!!! Free my man he did nothing wrong!!!!

[burntheedges]

I know this feels like the weirdest time to be doing this but I'm wondering if u have any advice for getting off anon and starting to interact w ppl u follow? I feel like lately the one-sided anon relationship is making me sad, and so many cool ppl have been leaving and I'm bummed I never got the chance to talk to them. But also I'm scared lol. Do I slide into ppls dm's? I'm realizing I'm just asking you how to make friends but dammit maybe that's what I need!

Hi anon! I don’t think this is a weird time, I think it’s always a good time to try and reach out or try something new! I love that you want to, this is lovely 🧡🧡🧡

I was a wallflower in various fandoms for a looooong time so I hear you. It is more fun (I think) to interact, though. And I get that it’s scary! New things always are. I think one thing to remember is it’s like anything else - when you’re learning a new thing you don’t hit a 100% success rate. You try stuff, see how it goes, see how it feels for you. I thought up some tips on the train today:

Try a couple different things — I think one nice thing about tumblr’s current silly UI is you do have multiple ways to interact. I feel like commenting under a post is pretty chill and low pressure, but maybe you don’t. So I’d say try a few things and see — comment under a post, reblog with your comments in the tags, reblog with actual comments in the post. I can honestly tell you that I ALWAYS read the comments people leave in tags and I love them so, so much. And yes, try sending DMs or non-anon asks! But check their profile first, they might have a note about DMs or asks there.

But what to say? I hear you. It doesn’t have to be long or intense. Try commenting on a fic or art or moodboard with something simple like LOVED IT or “this was great!” Same thing with the tags and reblog comments. You could send an ask that says the same thing or play along when someone is doing ask games. Even just leaving an emoji as a comment is great (I am an overuser of the eyes 👀 on wip Wednesday posts but I am LOOKING). I often stream of consciousness my fic replies and that works well for me, lol. Oh or just copy and paste a line you loved and then like emojis after or a scream, lol. Or a gif comment! On anything!

Don’t worry about over commenting on fic or art - I’ve seen this worry around tumblr, that people think they’re leaving spam comments? I don’t even know what that would mean, lol. I don’t care if 3 people in a row leave me a keyboard smash comment, I treasure every single one.

Interacting beyond fic and art comments - this is probably the next thing, right? It sounds like you want to have conversations with people! I think just sharing your thoughts is a great way to start. Like if someone shared a wip post, tell them how excited you are and what it makes you think about. Or if someone shares a new gifset or art tell them why you love it. Or for a poll, explain your vote! And for an ask game, ask about an answer or share when you would pick the same thing.

Don’t get discouraged if you don’t get a response every time — this is a hard one, I know. But people aren’t on tumblr all the time, and plenty of other reasons! That’s why I’m suggesting trying more than one thing, and also keep it up! It gets easier with practice and once you start you’ll find new ways to interact, too. But not everyone clicks and that’s just the truth. There are oodles of people in this fandom though, you know?

I totally get that interacting is daunting. But you don’t have to do everything at once. Just try things out and give yourself permission to have feelings about it. Remember you can choose how you respond, too! And putting a bit of info in your own blog header can make it easier to connect, for the people who want to reply to you. (what you’d like to be called, etc.)

I definitely made friends here by just becoming one of their steady commenters, or people who commented a lot on my posts. You get to know each other! Which is very fun.

I hope this gives you some courage! Be kind to yourself! And please feel free to send me more messages, any time. 🧡

Anyone else have any tips? 👀

[the-blossica-fan]

your actor au is a joy to read through whenever you post in the tag. may i ask which characters would surprisingly be related to each other? (ie cousins, siblings, married, hell even in-laws, etc.)

I accidentally lost all three hours of progress I had for this and had to rewrite it.

Also, I'm so happy you're enjoying the AU!

These are all I can remember at the moment and from current global patches.

It's really long though 😓

Isolde, Theophil and Trista are some of the weirdest siblings in the set. They're all so quiet (except for Theophil) but they're actual sweethearts (except Trista).

They mess around with each other, usual siblings banter and annoying each other by taking things without permission. It's always nice to see them bantering around in the set, especially when they act like annoying siblings to each other.

Isolde: Theopiiiilll, you're painting it wrong!

Theophil: Those are just guide lines, Isolde. I can paint out of them because they're not going to be seen after.

Isolde: ...It looks messy

Theophil: Isolde!

Trista taking a sip of her apple juice: So this must be art...

They're all so close to each other so they're not toxic or malevolent to one another. Mess with one and you get the Dittarsdorf on your door.

Trista is actually the most evil of the three because she's the youngest. She has threatened to tell Klara about Isolde's crush on her if Isolde doesn't give her what she wants.

Isolde and Trista were cast for their respective characters. Isolde's experience as a performer and Opera Singer guaranteed her the role, while Trista was left to play herself and young Isolde. Theophil wasn't supposed to be a character until they realized they needed someone to appear in later scenes, he was actually hired to paint and help with the scenery.

Greta and Adler Hoffman are not close siblings, but you know that they're sister and brother by a glance. They both lived their own lives separately, nearly 40 years old so they're not so close to one another, but you can tell they still care for each other. When young they took acting classes, who would have thought it would get them here.

Though this is the only time they have worked together. Greta has always been into field work and connections while Adler has never been that into interactions so he works inside his house.

Schneider and Miriam are actually funny siblings. Schneider was cast for chapter 1 and 2, and since their mother is sick, Miriam had to drive her to the audition (Schneider doesn't have a license).

Turns out looking like you sleep 3 hours a day and having such an anxious personality got her a role. Quite funny actually. Miriam took acting classes but then dropped, too anxious. Schneider persisted through the years.

Miriam is actually glad to act with her sister, she's the introverted one while Schneider is the extroverted one.

Though, Schneider likes to mess around with Miriam a lot, she's slightly evil but truly cares about her anxiety driven sister.

They have another older sister but she's into medicine, they don't have that many sisters, they found it funny when they were told they had 11 sisters in the story. Thankfully only the two of them were ever mentioned.

Horropedia and Twins Sleep, can you see my vision?

They mess around a lot with Horropedia, sometimes they spook him by acting creepy, other times they take his stuff. They're in that age where they follow him around and copy him, he's so annoyed.

Horropedia: I'm currently busy with homework, could you get out of my room?

Louis and Louisa: *giggling* nuh-uh!

Horropedia: I'm going to call mom.

He truly cares for them but oh Lord they truly have to leave him alone, he's so tired of dealing with their mischief.

They were cast separately, weeks apart thankfully. He wouldn't have been able to take it if they were cast the same day.

Bessmert and Vertin, mother and daughter. I'm not sure if this is canon or is about to become canon, I just see them together.

Vertin has always been into acting, and Bessmert is a writer, they compliment each other a lot. Bessmert was hired to help with the script and since she has a daughter studying acting, they wanted to see what she could do.

Amazing actress, they knew she had to be their main character.

Bessmert's acting experience is quite nothing so she had to learn in order to participate in 1.6, she did amazing, her acting style is similar to her daughter.

No one should tell Vertin about Yenisei's fleeting crush on her mother.

Regulus: So you have a mother!

Vertin: ...

Bessmert: ?

Mr. Karson is Sotheby's father. In the story, he plays as her butler, but in real life, he's her father. Sotheby has no siblings, she's a little spoiled as well but she was taught well by Karson.

Filming the scene where Karson died was actually pretty sad for Sotheby. It made her realize she would one day lose him and she was afraid, they had to give her some free time in between scenes so she could recover.

It's never easy for a child to realize they would one day lose their parents, but Sotheby took it pretty well. She manages to recover and Karson stays by her side the whole time.

They have such a good relationship. Though Mr. Karson doesn't approve of Regulus' influence.

Tooth Fairy and Z are MARRIED. It's a long story, it deserves its own ask but I'll try to make it short.

Tooth Fairy and Z have known each other since highschool, not a great relationship there, but it started to flourish around College. They've been married for a year and a half now.

Though they were never meant to be acting, Constantine offered them a role. Turns out they're natural in the acting department, though they would never act outside of Reverse 1999. Tooth Fairy (yes she adores that nickname now) is a graduate in medicine while Madam Z (She prefers to be called Z even before R1999) is a graduate in accounting and economics.

Pavia and Mondlicht are cousins! They haven't seen each other in a while though, Pavia was raised in Italy while Mondlicht was born in Germany years after. They see each other on birthdays or something of the sort.

Imagine their surprise when they saw each other in the same set for the same movie with similar characters.

Was it planned? Probably.

Blonney and Jessica have known each other since highschool and have been dating for 3 years. Jessica is two years older than Blonney (22) but she was held two years, it was thanks to Blonney that she graduated.

They're currently in College, though taking different careers. One is taking Filmmaking (Blonney) and the other is taking acting (Jessica)

Blonney plans to become a filmmaker with a side career in acting while Jessica plans to only be an actress. It works though, they can play as each other's couple in all movies they're in.

Kakania (Goes by her name, Klara) doesn't have siblings, she's actually an only child. Her parents are family all took medicine, accounting, economics and such, she's the only one who chose to be an actress.

The people who play as her family were cast to play that part, though she gets along with them really well since she still has to spend some time to get used to each other and act like family.

She took acting as a side study while taking medicine, she had to drop medicine eventually since she couldn't find enjoyment in it.

study tips: weird stuff that actually works (for me)

the end of the term is SO close, but i still have to struggle through another week or so before i can truly say i'm done with my junior year. in the spirit of end-of-term desperation, here are some of the weirdest studying hacks that i actually use regularly.

⟡ study where people can see your laptop screen ⟡

this might only work because i'm easily embarrassed, but it's harder to get distracted when i know that someone could walk by and see me watching tv/on tumblr/playing that old downloaded copy of papa's donuteria (iykyk).

⟡ do a handstand at 1am. it'll help ⟡

listen to me. don't drink that 3rd energy drink. hanging upside down for a bit will get blood to your brain and help you feel a bit more alert. it's temporary, but it works - or maybe that's just the adrenaline of trying not to fall and hurt myself?

⟡ you don't actually have to type that essay draft ⟡

no i don't mean chatGPT. close that browser tab immediately. AI won't help with your writer's block, but switching up the way you're writing might - sometimes drafting a paragraph on a sheet of paper or dictating into my phone makes it easier to get my thoughts on paper without overthinking it.

tell me your favorite unconventional studying hacks in the reblogs!

[phneltwrites]

Hiiiiiii! 👋🏻

🔪🌿🥐 for the truth or dare thing (whichever you haven't been asked. Feel free to replace with another if there are any duplicates/any you don't want to answer!) 💚

🔪 ⇢ what’s the weirdest topic you researched for a writing project?

hm i do research a lot. I think maybe it was the time I was trying to figure out, mathematically, inches at what point a dick is considered big. Like sure, it's all well and good to SAY big dick but if someone was going to write a little piece of code about it I was gonna need a number. (in inches because the characters were american)

joke was worth it, ended up with this

I do a lot of asking of people too and that's always a fun experience. Asking my pilot friend questions to put in little jokes, or my clearances and nudity waivers friend, or whatever. Amazing the convos I can have without ever explaining why I need to know something.

for yr fandom most of my research points have been around understanding royal stuff and particularly around breaking out of the anglo sphere (so wildly obsessed with meghan markle i don't understand). I read a few issues of Hola! in Spanish for that. let's all remember i don't speak spanish. and this was print copies.

🌿 ⇢ give some advice on writer’s block and low creativity

alright i don't give advice because who am i. but here's my steps or what have you that work for me

the main thing is: NEVER YELL OR FEEL GUILTY. under stress my brain shrivels up and hides into a corner so never ever be like argh why why is this happening. the moment it starts to happen I gotta detach like a little butterfly and fly above. oh. what is this? a period of low creation? huh. let's gently float around this and see what's what

what type of writer's block is this. Am I stuck in a story/piece? Or not writing at all? Or writing doesn't feel fun?

if im stuck in a fic the problem is almost always upstream. find the last spot where it for sure felt good and fun and working and separate out from there. consider other paths the fic could take. when i have looked inside the fic then only the fic will remain

if im not writing at all gotta look around. there is a problem in the enclosure. have i gone on a bike ride recently? done a yoga? spent some time looking at my little guys? eated a snack? if no to any of the questions then do that and try again the next day

writing doesn't feel fun? this fic has insufficient beach volleyball.* kill it and do something different.

*beach volleyball is not literal beach volleyball. It's a shorthand for writing something interesting and fun. Fr ex, I don't like writing scenes of people just talking. Writing them will feel unfun for me. I can make them fun by having the scene of multiple people take place while they are also playing a beach volleyball game! Now instead of writing something I don't enjoy suddenly I'm writing beach volleyball! We love beach volleyball. A type of beach volleyball I really like are physical details so if I'm in a struggle section I might suddenly turn into Victor Hugo and be like wow the history of this architectural style goes back to the early gothic period where they didn't think of it as being dark but rather as a light and vaulted reflection of the forest canopy. Meant to evoke nature's beauty as a source of worship, much like the pages and pages of drawing Wilhelm has made of Simon's smile. boom now im back in it I can allow them to talk about their feelings briefly.

Also, I would not say that I am adherent of Skinner's but I did use to sleep train babies professionally and I have seen the efficacy of a little Routine. Now. This is dangerous because what if routine no happen. So be careful. But. If there's a small action that means 'writing time now' that can jump my brain in. Ideally something totally under my control. Like at writing time I might do a couple of quick wrist stretches and then one long exhale.

Get to know your mutuals: tag game

Thank you so much again for tagging & including me @musette22 💙

What's the origin of your blog title: It’s French for ‘fluid views’ (plus it sounds really nice) because I was thinking about the blog being a place where you leave footprints of yourself constantly changing, evolving and ‘shifting’ views all the time, and ‘fluid’ covers that pretty well, so that’s why I picked it :)

OTPs + Shipname: Stucky

Favorite Color: blue, always💙

Favorite game: Any kind of games? I like playing catch? Does that count? Oh and Ludo!

Song stuck in your head: Let me copy & paste 😂: It’s Beethoven’s “Piano Sonata No. 14 in C-Sharp Minor, Op. 27 No. 2 “Moonlight Sonata”: I. Adagio sostenuto.” (lol)

Weirdest habit/ trait: I keep my fan on even in winter, because 1. I’m extra intolerant of warm weather or still air (I feel breathless when the air is still) and 2. I’m used to the sound of it, and when I turn it off all the unblocked noise drives me nuts.

Hobbies: movies, reading, writing, reading fanfiction, history, learning (about anything), exploring/listening to music. And doing random creative stuff if the idea is there.

Something you're good at: maths & physics, I don’t necessarily love these, but I am rather quick with them when I have to. It’s been the same in school, these were my best subjects.

Something you're bad at: directions, understanding architecture (like anything beyond just looking at them with no further curiosity)

Something you love: I love staying indoors, and having extra uninterrupted privacy and solitude (which is a privilege most people can’t have). But also nature and forests.

Something you could talk about for hours off the cuff: Stucky, Steve and Bucky (and other MCU characters), history of WWII, human nature and civilization, and just philosophy.

Something you hate: I hate being rushed into things. I also often find having to eat so frequently exhausting. (Like right now I have to get up and eat ugh)

Something you collect: older books and mugs. But I also read / use them.

Something you forget: I’m very likely to forget including the cost of drinks when I eat at cafés. Embarrassing.

Favourite movie / show: my favorite shows are 11.22.63 (2016) and WandaVision

Favorite food: if pancakes & chocolate chip cookies (my own recipes only) don’t count, I’ll go with roasted potatoes.

Favorite animal: cats.. and deer? Deer are so pretty! And dogs of course.

What were you like as a child: until I was 7, I think really active and playful, but after that, I became a loud, obnoxious, talkative monster until 10-11 or so.

If you could change any detail about your life right now, what would it be: move far away.

If you could travel in time, who would you like to meet? This is hard, either my dad before I was born, or if I could, maybe JFK? I am fascinated by that particular short period.

I can only think of a few to tag, but since we haven’t interacted that much please feel free to ignore this if you don’t want to play!

@guiltypleasureisfun @soliddarrity

I hope there are more people I can tag in the future!

TTRPG HELL 2 TOO HELLISH 2 TTRPG

Anyway we finally managed to play more F.A.T.A.L. Thoughts:

PECTUS MENTION. CARDIOLOGY FTW.

This is, quite frankly, the weirdest fucking thing to put in this book. The sex stuff is weird but like... standard incel weird. Why is pectus in your book as a randomly generated congenital birth defect.

"We couldn't find any evidence of venereal disease existing at that time" (European middle ages) OH YOU COULDN'T HUH?????

For the record I found a record after one (1) google search

Like this was a fairly well documented thing in ancient Greece and Rome, you're just a coward and your work is inaccurate as fuuuuuuuuck and colored by your biases

Jack said it feels like the creator copy-pasted an article about diseases and just made one or two edits, because his specific "voice" is missing in that section

The creator has a very particular voice, as we have established

Jack also said that some of the modifiers on rolls aren't inherently bad and an interesting mechanic, and I gotta trust him on this one because I don't have the technical GM brain like he does

Nunu gave up again

Once again it's racist and sexist as fuck

Like my friends WE HIT THE PHRENOLOGY/BIOLOGICAL DETERMINISM PARAGRAPH AND I LOST MY MIND

It's worth noting (again) that canonically the game was explicitly like "everyone is ethnically white in this setting"

Jack: "yeah thank goodness with can play this without financially supporting the creator!"

Nunu just spent a large chunk of the "sexual traits section" looking like he'd just swallowed an entire colony of cockroaches and woefully cuddling one of my stuffed animals

Jack: "You get so high that your nipples are no longer inverted."

Once again, lots of modern words to describe things that people in the setting would not know at all, slang stuff like "chode" and "bad trip"

I have never rolled so many 1d100s in my whole entire life

I had to read this man (the creator) write about pregnancy and fertility rolls for sperm and menstruation and the hymen so yes I did join Nunu in "hug a stuffed animals to keep yourself from falling into despair" mode

Jack: "No you could just have a super hymen. A super strong hymen." Nunu: "And you wouldn't have lost your virginity." Me: "Correct per the book if your hymen is strong enough you will be a virgin forever."

We are STILL not done with character creation, but we are onto skills next!

How badly will this game fumble other topics in the name of pretend accuracy and thoroughness?

So yeah, unfortunately we (me and Jack) are still having fun with character creation. It sucks, in the kind of morbid fascination way. Our plan is to build characters the way the game intends first, then to make a second set of characters we can actually play with. I still don't understand how I'm supposed to play a baby in this setting.

Once again, not recommended and only entertained because Pervert Chat is abhorrent freaks with something deeply wrong with them.

Then we played Expedition 33, which was very good, as a treat for Nunu for all of the torment.

Hello!

What kind of outfits/clothing pieces were a staple in Demri Parrott's everyday wear?

Thanks so much!

Barbara Dearaujo: “Demri was a fashion nut. She loved everything vintage. Victorian style dresses, 70’s stuff, overalls and combat boots. She wore things no one else could even try to pull off without looking like a weirdo but she always seemed to make the weirdest things look cute and cool. I’m pretty sure Demri was one of the girls who started the so-called ‘Seattle Grunge Look’, for girls at least. Demri was not a rocker chick, she totally had her very own style going on that we all secretly wanted to emulate.

In the early 90’s she dressed in all kinds of crazy yet cute clothes, anything retro or vintage. She loved long dresses, skirts, tutus, overalls and Doc Martins, hand-made clothes, she never really wore jeans and t-shirts, it was always something you’d never think of wearing but looked great on her and made you wish you would thought of this type of thing but even if you had it probably wouldn’t of looked as cool on you. She had that tiny little body that looks great in clothes.

She always wore her hair really long like to her butt or longer and she had thick wavy auburn hair. It was usually knotted and dred locked here and there but knotted or not it always looked cool. She wore black nail polish and when she wore make up she used maybe some black mascara and red lips but she didn’t usually wear a lot of make up, maybe except for lipstick when she went out. She was also the first girl I met who used her lipstick to add blush to her cheeks.” [5]

[Spring 1990 - by Krista Kay]

Ryan Kalsbeck: “Layne and Dem had that full on vintage clothing styles mixed with a hippie, new grunge rock twist. Homemade glass beaded long necklaces and bracelets, funky hats, hair sticks. Dem had pink lace and satin knickers that were real and from the 1900s.”

[1992 - By Alison Dyer]

Sherri: “She would always wear the rolled up overalls with black tights. She was so cute and original. Biggest smile, she always lit up the room. Heart of gold!”

[1991 - By Ed Chalfa]

Jacque: “As to her clothing style, it was kind of hippy chick but distinctively Demri.”

[1988 - By Krista Kay]

Kathleen Austin: “Someone once told me she would show up at a club in an outfit and the next night there would be several girls copying it.

She could pull articles of clothing that no one would think to combine and she would look adorable. She once designed a skirt from boxer shorts. I saw it on paper. As far as I know, it never came to fruition.” [6]

[Ca. 1990s - ByJack Plasky]

Shawna Murphy: “I had one of her necklaces ‘Forever’. It was like black cut glass stones, three strands with a gold clasp. She wore a lot of old-timey costume jewelry.” [6]

[Ca. 1990s - By Jack Plasky]

Tracy Johnson: “She did not want to be known as the girlfriend of a rock star and did whatever the hell she pleased but was friendly and personable to everyone she met. She wanted to be a model that’s why there are so many pictures of her posing. One thing that was funny. We were in Canada (canvouver, as we called it) and Dem couldn’t find Layne and was drunk and pissed off. But she has to pee, so we stopped and she walked in this alley, many people were around, and she just squatted and peed, then pulled up her long johns with her tutu tucked in the back of it and started to walk away. She was gonna find him come hell or high water, even with the whole backside of her tutu tucked into her long johns and wearing converse, of course.

A lot of things she wore didn’t go together, like long johns with big baggy overall shorts and a frilly blouse with cowboy boots. It doesn’t make a lot of sense but you would have to know Demri to understand.” [6]

[Summer 1988 - By Randy Hauser]

Hope that helps :)

Everyone please check the book we put together with our beloved friend Ana, you can download it and read it from *here*. There's all the memories sorted by subject like style,hobbies, voice, dreams...

Hello! It might seem like the WEIRDEST question ever and I’m sorry if it sounds bad but

Is it okay for a beginner artist to copy another artist’s art in their sketchbook / tablet ? (not posting ofc!)

I feel like it helps me more to understand body proportions, shading and just different artstyles in general but I feel like I’m stealing peoples artworks / artstyles :((

Sorry if I’m asking you that, I just really love your artstyle and I wanted to try to replicate it, but I’m not sure if I’m allowed and I asked other people but nobody was answering me, so I prefer to ask

Sorry for taking your time, and thank you if you give me answer <3

Howdy hey!!! Yeah you can do that as long as you obviously don’t claim it as your own lol. I said this before in a different ask but replication is a good way to learn and improve :3 and most of everyone tries to imitate a style they like! So yeah go for it! ^^

Just try not to straight up trace, use the art as a reference and define the basic shapes and stuff (if that makes any sense) 🧚‍♀️

Tagged by @joyful-soul-collector

What's the origin of your blog title? In elementary school I wrote a story about a girl with magical shapeshifting powers who was prophesized as the saviour of her people, or something. Anyways--her name was Tseecka Akeunah, and when I first started to venture onto the Internet, that was the pseudonym I used. The name is intrinsic to me, now, I can't imagine being on the interwebs as anything else.

OTP(s) + Shipname: I have so many omg. JayVik is obviously the biggest one right now. Trephacard, AkuRoku, Hannigram, WangXian, ShaKadolin, Sheith, Thorki, McShep, Spirk, Merthur, HMS Intoxication (aka Jack/Daniel from SG1), Jack/Sam, VMin, Cherik, the list goes on and on.

Oh. And Desper, the ship name for my wife's horrible con artist of a Cleric in D&D and his war profiteering noble boyfriend who is going to kill the gods for killing his boo.

Favorite color: Blue or purple

Favorite game: My Father's Work is I think still the reigning champion, though Silver is quickly gaining.

Song stuck in your head: A Dream Within a Dream - Nevermore Original Cast Recording

Weirdest habit/trait? I'm trying to think of what other people find weird (affectionate) about me...oh! I prefer stale marshmallows and will put them into the freezer to stale them out intentionally as a snack. And I eat raw frozen tortellini by the handful if I allow myself to have it in the house.

Hobbies: TOO MANY. Knitting, cross-stitch, harp/piano/handbells, writing, reading, video games, soon-to-be bookbinding and weaving, board games, ttrpgs, the list goes on...

If you work, what's your profession? Canadian public servant

If you could have any job you wish, what would it be? Honestly, I think I'm good with this. Maybe if there was something with language...?

Something you're good at: I'm told I'm good at writing, and I'm working my way back to believing it. I'm good at Excel.

Something you're bad at: Staying on top of life. Things constantly escape my awareness and it causes me and my family no end of frustrations. Hoping for the ADHD consult sometime soon...

Something you love: I'm gonna copy joyful-soul-collector's answer: I love stories. I love reading and watching TV and movies and playing games, anything that tells a story with moving parts and interwoven fabric, that lets me escape for a little while.

Something you could talk about for hours off the cuff: My strong opinions about the Dragon Age franchise and the rise and fall of BioWare in general.

Something you hate: I'm gonna go with the less serious version of "hate" and ignore all the big, obvious, real world stuff for a moment: I hate Critical Role. (Add my "strong opinions about the relative merits of various actual play podcasts/shows" to the question above, actually.)

Something you collect: Yarn, books, board games, MTG cards

Something you forget: Everything. Constantly.

What's your love language? Acts of service and words of affirmation

Favorite movie/show: Lord of the Rings

Favorite food: Too hard, sorry

Favorite animal: Giraffes

What were you like as a child? Precocious, teacher's pet, bullyable

Least favorite subject: Math

What's your best character trait? I am devoted to the people I care for.

What's your worst character trait? I can be petty and jealous.

This is where I might get backlash.

This is my art!

As in I digitally painted it and edited it on Canva.

I don't do it anymore because my space to draw whether it be digitally or traditionally is extremely small and overwhelming to try and set up the equipment again.

So I use Canva with its readily available graphics, fonts and photos to be creative in another way. I agreed with my sister the other day that AI art is stealing from artists and I refuse to use AI art in my designs.

Here in lies the dilemma though...I miss my art. I used to draw and digitally paint the weirdest yet coolest things and now that I'm working on being a POD seller, I want to sell merch with MY designs on them. Not just copy and pasted art found in Canva. (The fonts are killer though)

So I have around 10 Canva designs to set up on my store but I think after that I'm going to try and find a way to draw again.

I wanted to be honest with people about the new items in my store.

But I want my designs to be 80-100% mine not just 50%.

I'm going to work on being a better artist one day. I hope you guys support me in that and help buy some logo merch to help me afford a new art program and tools.

It is amazing how stunning someone's art can be if you invest in the mid stuff first.

A lot of us are waiting to pay bills or save up to buy more materials or programs with the money you send us when you buy something.

If you're against my Canva designs but still want to support me, I make jewelry! All Handmade by me 🩵
