Not me sitting here trying to decide if i can turn this Dollzone boy into Skully *sweats nervously*

I think with a small enough brush i could paint the mouth however i want.. and the moon white skin tone (not pictured) they have would be perfect. Will marinate on this and try not to impulse buy but........

Hey author, I have to ask, just how evil can we be in OKS exactly? Completely hypothetical scenario, of course, but let's say someone wanted to break through Adrian's barriers and get themselves his love, then break his heart, traumatize him some more, and kill him last after murdering the other harbingers, whispering to his ear, "It's all your fault."

Could the fantasies of this absolutely evil and wretched hypothetical person be fulfilled in any way, shape, or form?

Please see the FAQ entry...

My MC is intrigued by this agenda of demonic conquest & people-eating and would like to subscribe to their newsletter. Can I join the other side?

Well... there's certainly some Dead Ends where you can do that!

How the Hell Did You Think That Would Work Out?

The MC can be a pretty shitty, manipulative person using everyone around them while running around getting people killed (Serial Killer MC is certainly onboard there!) up to a reasonable point, after which they're getting put down like a rabid dog trying to murder the plot.

Also, quick reminder that freaking Not Your Mother's Shire got rejected from Hosted Games for being "too offensive". And it went nowhere near as dark as that. I wouldn't hold my breath about any full-blown psychotically evil MCs getting published through Choice of Games.

ava you better not sacrifice this for that girl! ohhh i take it back…generous ava. sweet act from her. because that’s who she is. she’s shown that it’s the children/students she cares about the most and it doesn’t matter what school a child is being taught at, she’ll do for the kids. willing to share the district bag with her frenemy (no, nemesis) because it’s about those kids too... very, very big of her! very much top-ava energy!

(editing experts: can y’all edit janine’s body on jacob’s ? for avanine research purposes)

top-ava energy in this forceful neck grab too!

Sir Pentious and Vox Similarities

- Pathetic

- Inventors/Innovators of their respective technologies

- Simultaneously ahead of their times and yet still old school in some facets

- Rely on support (P - eggs and hotel, V - Voxtek staff, Vees)

- Do not do well in direct confrontation, rely on inventions and support

- Have a “base” to conduct ranged operations (P - aircraft thing, V - gamer screen room)

- Looked up to/admired someone, wanted to be their equal (P to Vees, V to Alastor)

- Got brutally rejected

- While Pentious’ support system paved the way for him to be a better person, Vox probably got worse, who knows

- Hypnotism powers

- Will change themselves to please or appeal to others to be accepted (P will spy to please Vees, then reform to please hotel peeps, V will present differently to please audiences, etc)

- Visual motifs (P is covered in eyes, V’s head is a literal visual medium and has eyes everywhere with his drones and cameras)

- Need(ed) to be seen as a nemesis to Alastor (P obvs past tense), pick fights they can’t win unprovoked (V was more of a verbal battle but still lost rip)

- similar drip

- top hats

- bow ties

- I’m sure I’ve missed some stuff

Is this anything

despite knowing better some part of me was hoping the rizz-off between franky and senor pink would end with a kiss between them.

Something so interesting to me about the way they are depicting Gibeon's close friendships, while Amethio still doesn't have such bonds with others yet.

Finally made a Parapluesch OC, introducing Mama Oz ♥ (Patreon)

On another note, I keep being like "And finally, I shall read The X Wolf's Rejected Mate" or whatever, but I think it's time to admit that after reading Immortals After Dark, it may be impossible for me to accept the concept of werewolves who REJECT their mates

Like what is even the point of reading a werewolf book where he rejects her lmao

bruh the kids in one piece go through so much.

like i’m at law’s backstory. señor pink and lao g are explaining to baby 5 how flevance got destroyed and there’s bits of laws life before joining the donquixote family.

he watches his younger sister get sick and so does everyone around him; as far as he knows, there’s no cure. his town is being quarantined due to amber lead disease being labeled “contagious” (it’s not) and if someone from flevance tries to escape, they get shot like they’re rabid animals. he has to keep a brave face for his younger sister, and his parents (who he thinks are one of, if not the best doctors in town) are in distress. the people of flevance (rightfully) get upset due to them being mistreated by the government that’s supposed to protect them AND by their neighboring countries so they fight back, but are only met with the navy basically maiming them down for standing up for themselves. and law has to see the people he knows and loves die. he’s begging for his parents to wake up when they’ve been shot. the hospital he told his sister to wait in is on fire, so unless she made it out she’s gone as well.

and then, when asked about how he managed to escape flevance, law says he HID AMONGST A PILE OF DEAD BODIES????????

like no kid should have to witness that.

and then when cora takes him to the hospital, he has to relive the trauma he faced.

“they treat me like i’m sub-human”

and these are supposed to be DOCTORS??? like educated and all?? they’re calling a little kid a monster, diseased, just calling law anything BUT a child of God 😭😭 even cora was like “tf? how are you this uneducated as a doctor”

and i mean its at the fault of the world government bc they KNEW that a) exposure to amber lead could be extremely harmful, but they turned a blind eye and then b) killed the people of flevance when this whole mess could’ve stopped a century ago and finally c) they didn’t disprove the notion that amber lead poisoning was contagious. they just let everyone believe it when they could’ve just said “no it’s not, we need to help these people”

i just feel so bad for law. like oh my gosh, no wonder he was so mad at the world. no wonder he wanted to destroy everything he saw because the world did the same thing to him, so what’s the harm in returning the favor?

i need to give law a hug, in fact let’s give almost every one piece character a hug !

idk how controversial this is but I’m actually such a big fan of s3a. it’s the exact kind of phantasmagorical bullshit that makes me kick my feet and grin like a fool. the whole show goes haywire and completely abandons the generic structure of the police procedural, and it totally gets away with it because at this point the narrative has unravelled so much that the show can safely let go of whatever conformity it was barely hanging onto in s2b. and on a metafictional level the shift in external genre strangely parallels the progression of the two main characters: just as will and hannibal have changed each other, the show too has revealed its true nature

[slumberinglabyrinth]

Artist I follow pointed out that if they remake FE7 with a MU and S Supports that that would mean you could marry Renault and I think that it would very funny if they don't change how supports worked aside from adding an extra one to some pairings because that would mean that not only does Renault marriage get locked to new game plus (Hector mode) with a bunch of extra hoops to jump through (32x baybeee) because that's the only way to have him for four maps total but you would also always be doing it on the very final map. After grinding support points in front of the final final boss for however many turns. Since this is such a laborious process and the player will never be doing this anywhere short of completely deliberately, you could generally assume that because of that anyone who actually does it is a diehard Renault fan so they could even write the confession with that in mind, having it come from your MU and not Renault and like idk. idc about a remake or this actually happening in canon or whatever but it's the idea of the conversation progressing and you confess and Renault turns to the camera and it fades to the special "you're getting married" cg they drew for him but instead of the beautiful sky behind the character you love framing their blushing face as they turn to the camera to confess their love to you you instead get a deeply incredulous Renault standing in front of a raging dragon emerging from the dragon's gate being fought by other members of your party saying something like "are you being serious? you're confessing to me right now? in front of a dragon?"
