Got an idea for a post-plot James Sunderland fic in my head.

Now, if I can only get the darn words out to write it.

Fantasy Wally but he talks to everyone like this one tumblr post I can’t find where the warlock calls the party “chat” and the god/demon patron “mod(s)”

“Hey mod this guy’s being mean. Kick em.”

*bandit dies a thousand deaths in the span of a millisecond*

Something like that 😂

this Immediately made me picture Wally & Home making a (poorly set up & executed) joke where Frank is being A Lot while Home is unfolded and Wally just goes "mod, chat is being too loud. ban them" & Home fully grabs Frank and starts to drag him into the building

dude i feel so bad for Quackity rn. Having to step away from being the face of your passion project and dream bc you don't feel safe and also apologizing for speaking your native language?? Like, qsmp has meant so so so much to him and others, and now he can't even enjoy it because he doesn't feel safe at his house.

Obviously, this whole situation is sucky, but I really think that in times like this, one of the best things we can do is be empathetic. Literally be kind. Put the phone down for a second and just breathe, think, and return when you're more level-headed. Don't be so naive that you're not critical, but remember that there are other real, feeling people who will be affected by what you say. More will be accomplished when misinformation, exaggerations, and half-truths fueled by intense emotions aren't flying around like crazy.

I know it's hard, but I truly believe that looking for the light at the end of the tunnel and maintaining hope is the way to go (and not just about this, but in life in general. Reminding myself it can get better has gotten me through some really rough times). This year alone, this fandom had gone through a lot, and it can really easy to just sink under the waves of negativity and give up. But you gotta keep your head up. And everyone’s "light at the end of the tunnel" is gonna be different. If you think about it, and ultimately decide leaving the fandom is the best for you, then that lack of stress is the light. You're able to breathe easier. For me, I think qsmp will reach a much better situation with honest communication and work, so that's my light, and I'll keep walking towards it for now.

mutuals, which of your favs would use your boobs as stressballs

[rockybloo]

One of my favorite things to do is treat the favorites on toyhouse as an ever ongoing competition between my OCs for who is the top most favorite and recently the farm boy has taken second place-which originally belonged to Sweetheart.

Bitterbat is clinging hard to his spot though.

You can pretty much always tell when I’m having trouble getting out of bed by how much I blog that morning.

Random thought of the day

Who the heck was getting May her groceries? Were we told?

Who was paying her bills?

I know Hermes popped in from time to time but I doubt he did much to help in that regard.

Like. 20+ years of being like that. Someone had to be making sure she got groceries for all this, her bills were paid(i don't think she was completely off the grid from what I remember-), made sure she remember to eat and drink water-

Like, okay no one noticing her state enough to instintutilize her, I can see that. She never really left and probably wasn't that noticeable or a "problem" in a way Chris had been when he was stumbling around after escaping the labyrinth.

But no one taking notice of bills not being paid??? I just don't see that.

This is probably a question that has answer and I just forgot or was never even considered by Rick. But I'm thinking about it.

She's a disabled woman living mostly on her own for years. Someone had to be helping her in some regard.

Like there's hcs of after tlo characters like Nico going over to keep her company now and then

But what about to help her take care of herself? Surely Nico is not qualified for that.

There has to be someone taking care of her now and then. Or else she would've been dead long before tlo.

A false dream - eren. j

The sweet smell of peaches spun around by the wind, my hair swaying in each direction, sticking to my lips every so often. My back hurt, so bad. I felt the fire of a thousand ants crawling up my legs, who knew how long i’d been sitting here at the tree? it’s a numbing sensation to think of someone you never got to have, especially now that they’re gone and explore different skies without you. He promised me too, that he would never let me be lonely, and look at me now, mourning his own death.

“Eren, why did you have to leave me?” I whisper against my knee, feeling my nose go hot all over again, my eyes closing to avoid staining my cheeks a third time. I look up at the moon, the moon kept me company but even looking at it reminded me of when we couldn’t sleep and would talk about whatever had come to our young minds. “I can’t be free without you.” My voice breaks. Who am I even talking to? He’s not even here anymore, he can’t listen to my sobs or feel my touch, or see the pretty little flowers I put on his grave. I finally found out what they’re called, bellflowers. Bellflowers are used to symbolize love, and gratitude. I hope he knows how grateful I am.

I close my eyes, lean against myself and turn to look at him. His shiny tombstone, covered with bouquets of those he knew and those who only felt it was only a responsibility to thank him. No one could have known how much I loved him, not even him.

I hum as my eyes open, my hands automatically going up to serve as curtains to my eyes. The sky was like those marleyan paintings, an ombre of soft pastel colors. You fell asleep at the tree again.” A familiar voice scolds…

“Eren?!” I jolt up, maybe i’m still dreaming. “I know you miss me, but you have to take care of yourself too, yea?” I see him, those beautiful teal eyes and that tall frame. “When… When did you get here?” Is all I can say. What a stupid fucking question.

“I’ve always been here, but you can never see me watching over you.”

And just like that, all over again I jolt up, and the moon is still over my body, taunting me. My eyes become runny and I think it’s best I go home to get some rest. After all, it’s probably what Eren wants.

where (some of) the LU boys got their green link tunic

sky: school uniform😔

time: forest child outfit :)

twilight: shapeshifted into it, based on the clothes of a hero who never had to exist in his world (the child timeline) which brings up a cool theory ive seen online: that the hero that people reference in TP is actually sky or four

wind: birthday present :)

wild: we dont know if he has ever worn it in canon but i have a headcanon that he had one and wore it when he was younger and pulled the master sword :) but then he got a job and a uniform lol

warriors: oh man, this random soldier kid is the legendary hero we have to give him the outfit

also fun thing to consider: sky learning about how important his school uniform is to hyrule’s history and culture!! like imagine sky hearing about the tradition of the birthday present in wind’s era. like that must have blown his mind

[cathalbravecog]

So I gave in and done it - Drew my Minecraft sona / skin, Larimar with Cathal since the two have some design similarities both being CRT TV inspired TV head robots... Let's just say yeah, there's perhaps a few reasons why I got so attached to Cathal like this, yeah?

WHY IS TUMBLR SO DEAD ??? HELLO HI WHERE ARE Y'ALL ???

[mintaikk]

Gonna tell my boss what mpreg is

Sketch and Rant #1 Law (Tales of Arise) Spoilers

I'm going to vent into the void about Tales of Arise's Law and how he kinda encapsulates my mixed feelings about Arise. While showing off my non-existing media literacy.

Law is a character that initially captured my attention when his character trailer came out since he was on Rena's side. From what little we seen, I thought he was going to be a bit of a morally grey character. What really caught me was the line that I am going to paraphrase: "- at least I am trying to ease my people's anguish from the inside." This gave me the impression that he could have a similar arc to say Flynn in the sense that they need to start taking more of the initiative to enact the radical change they want. In addition, his hatred for Zephyr, his own father, was interesting to me and I thought we were going to get something like they are both at fault for the falling out they had. Now, while that is true, Zephyr could of possibly tried harder, (somehow), to be at his family side while leading the Crimson Crows. While Law could of tried to express how he felt to Zephyr before his mother passed away or even after that instead of running away and getting into foreign lands. While yes, Law is supposed to be a fool in general and a bit irrational since he is a teen, he isn't likable to many players from the get go. Now, having unlikable characters work. Shionne is literally in the same game. Characters like Luke from Tales of the Abyss work. Though those characters seem to have more purpose of being unlikable and slowly becoming likable with their writing. Law just seems to just be there? First he is antagonistic to the group, yeah that makes sense and hates his father, that also makes sense, because he felt like Zephyr abandoned them. Then we don't see his character again until Alphen and the others confront him to get Zephyr. Then, once Zephyr dies due to Ganabelt's poison, we have Law join us. I feel like the gap we have in character interactions leaves us with less of an idea of who Law is. So now that our third interaction with him is full of hatred for Ganabelt, I simultaneously feel for him and thinks he's stupid. Which yeah, that's the point but I feel more sad for Zephyr because I feel like I know more about him than Law, who we are supposed to feel sorry for. By this point we have self-loathing and angry Law, this makes sense and I am actively invested because I want to avenge Zephyr. We recruit Law for Menancia and now he's happy go lucky? It somewhat feels like a tonal whiplash with his character but it makes sense because he had his arc. It just feels a little lackluster to me because he now is the butt of joke with and is stupid with everything besides a few occasions. (Which is ironic to me because I honestly ended up agreeing with him near end game stuff with the lords due to pure spite).

He had a good moment in Elden Menancia when he knew the party was being trailed by Kisara and catches her off guard at knife point. Okay, this is cool to me because we can potentially show off the skills that he possibly learned from the Crimson Crows, or the Snake Eyes, or the other resistance he was apart of. Oh wait-

We get Law's backstory, (well what he was up to in Cyslodia), in a skit. While I do like that we get some info about what happened to him, I think I would of prefered if we got hints to this then lead up with the skit. Like if we met him before convincing him to tell us about Zephyr's location, why not have him try to get rid of us before getting to Cyslodian per Ganabelt's orders. There we could have Alphen question why Law is doing this to his own people and to let them liberate Cyslodia. Maybe Law retaliates ,drops a hint to what happened to him, by asking Alphen what is his plan. While Alphen wouldn't have on at the point but tells Law that they can make one once they get into the city. Law could say something on the lines of; "Yeah, we thought improvising would of work to." Or even have Law call out on how the hell does Alphen, Shionne, and Rinwell think they can just barge into Ganabelt's location without a plan. This isn't Calagia where that worked. You can't possibly think that would work with how secretive everything is. You could of literally framed it in a way that showed he was speaking from experience. Bitter and just accepting that nothing works, that some of the most prominent teachings from Zephyr didn't work when he was following his footsteps when he joined a resistance group. However, Alphen's words of hope could of let him have something to ruminate about which could help add onto the scene of when we confront Law and the teen relents. While Law would still be in the wrong at this point, we still get to see his desperate attempt of trying to rationalize a situation that he knows is wrong. He can still be hated but instead of him of being a dumb angry kid, he is also one who just given up and is doing whatever he is told to become he is too pessimistic to fight for his freedom anymore. I think it could give us more time with Law while feeling sorry for him. If not sorry, than seeing first hand what the extent of Ganabelt's methods does to people. Especially to someone like Law who is hotheaded and stubborn but still wanted Dahnans to be free.

Then there's the slight tonal whiplash we get from depressed to goofy Law can be jarring to some. While it wasn't to me, I can definitely see why it would just feel like they didn't know what to do with him. Now I do overall like Law which surprises me because I don't like these types of characters. However, I will admit that I was expecting more depth to him, more about his past, and his connection to his parents before he left Calagia. Arise is a game where they are moving forward from their past and just nothing... but even the character backstories? Backstories that can give the characters more depth? While I know more about Law, than say Rinwell, I feel like us not having more about Law's past just squanders development and doesn't make the player sympathize with him as much as the game probably wanted us to. More context might of made me think that everything that happened to him and Zephyr wasn't completely his fault. While it isn't completely his fault, his unlikability kills initial good moments from him and it will make the player side more with Zephyr. Yes, Zephyr didn't do everything he could of did. Yet, I am more sympathetic to his plight than Law's.

But this gets into my issue with Arise. It just doesn't want to go into as much depth as it could of been. Now is it a bad game, absolutely not. It's fun and I think fun is the reason why anyone will invest themselves into media. So while I overall like Arise, I do believe that it kinda felt like a rough draft due to how little information we have for the characters.
