#bean’s ask game

[st-hedge]

*flops some papers onto the table* I made myself very sad thinking about how onikage comes to Gyoubu when he falls and then I kept thinking what would happen if onikage didn’t disappear into ash

no.20 Evens Jelly Beans

Small jelly sweets with a candy shell in a huge variety of flavours

[linkedspirit-fanartfunart]

Okay so I’m sending two in case you wanna draw something cool or something silly, so you can pick

Hero’s Spirit in the Sword Suit (one of the best non-canon outfits imo)

Bean in the Zora Costume (though ig it’s not an actual Zora to him)

[Image Description: The first two imbeded in the ask are screenshots from Tri Force Heroes of the Sword Suit and the Zora Costume. Next are two drawings, the first is Hero's Spirit in the Sword Suit, hat and cape flowing dramatically as they look over their shoulder, one hand in a fist. Second, Bean in the Zora Costume, smiling, hands posed in front of himself. End ID]

Bean would enjoy these Zora even if he would probably call them Frogmen before calling them Zora...

I wish you'd write a fic with a presumed dead Eddie and Buck is the one that has to call Chris (who is in Texas) that his dad is dead/missing.

Darling, you have read my mind. This is exactly what I want for s8!!!!! @tizniz and I wrote a little bit of presumed deaddie here, but we didn't even touch on the Chris of it all!

It would shatter me.

Buck clenches his hand into a fist, willing it to stop shaking before he picks up his phone. He doesn't want to do this over the phone. He doesn't want to do this at all. But he promised he'd be there for Christopher. Even if they were hundreds of miles apart.

He takes a shaky breath as he taps on Chris' number. There's every chance he won't answer. He's only been responding to the odd text Buck sends.

"Hey, Buck," Chris says as he answers.

Buck hiccups at the sound of the kid's voice. Two months without hearing him every day made his heart ache. He doesn't want to hear him because of this though.

"Hey, Chris," Buck says, his voice rough from tears and screaming for Eddie.

"What's wrong?" Chris asks, and Buck wishes the kid wasn't so perceptive, wasn't so used to bad news.

"I'm not... not trying to trick you, buddy, I promise. I wouldn't do this to you," Buck says.

"I know you guys wouldn't," Chris sighs. "So what happened? Is dad okay?"

Buck covers his mouth with his hand as an ugly sob rips from his throat. "No," he whispers. He clears his throat and takes another breath. "No, he- he's not, Chris."

What kind of fic do you wish I'd write?

WOAH HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAJOR!!

My brain is not working At All rn and I have convinced myself that I actually dont know how on earth a one character one word game might work, but I’m just gonna throw out “Warriors” and “scarf” and really hope I’m not misunderstanding things 😔

I HOPE YOU HAVE/HAD AN AMAZING BIRTHDAY DUDE 🎉🎈🫶

- crazylittlejester

Heyyy!

Thank you very much for the bday wishes! The One Word One character is a prompt game I like to play every so often! So I ask for one character and one word and write a small snippet for it!

So what you've given me is perfect!

Warriors and Scarf

"Warriors?" A small voice from behind him as he was performing the task of folding his scarf.

Turning to its source the captain found the sailor. "Yes?" He said, patting the log next to him to invite the sailor to sit down.

"I wanted to ask, and I dont know if you'll know the answer but...." the sailor looked down to the captain's scarf in thought. "I know the scarf is blue because of the royal family, and it has the orange on it to represent the goddess. But why is it so long? You have to wrap it around yourself several times before it drapes down your entire body."

A fair question he supposed. One he had for the queen once upon a time.

"They say the length of the scarf is a representation of the long lineage of Hyrulian heroes of courage that came before me." He placed a hand gently across the fabric "Some jest and say it's so long that it could reach the lands above Hyrule from the tales of the ancients. But having been there I'm inclined to disagree." the captain laughed. "But I won't lie, sometimes I see it as a physical weight of the responsibility I have to my people."

"Do you mind that?"

"I did once, during the war. But now. No. Carrying the weight of responsibility as long as I have change's you. Makes you a stronger person."

"Was it hard?"

Another good question.

"It wasn't easy. It's still not. Somedays I wake and am reminded of how it felt the day I first dawned it." The captain paused, "The first time that happened in a while was when I met all of you."

"Is it lighter now?"

"it is." The pair sat in silence as the captain ran the fabric through his fingers. "It also makes a great blanket on cold nights..." He paused looking over to the sailor. An unseen glint in his eye. "And it's good for something else too."

"Oh? What's that?"

"It's good for..." He paused, grabbing the fabric in his fingers before shuffling ever so slightly closer to the sailor. "CAPTURING LITTLE BROTHERS WITH!"

In a flash, the scarf was wrapped around Wind, "HEY!" a screech escaped him as the captain laughed. "WARRIORS!" the sailor squirmed in the captain's grip as they both laughed.

Pushing off the ground Wind pushed into the captain, sending them both to the floor. chuckling and smiling as they both lay on the ground. Chuckles and smiles escaped their lips. As the captain lay on the ground, the sailor on top of him wrapped in his scarf.

"You know. You're right about the blanket thing. It's very warm in here."

And the captain smiled again.

KIDS WAKE UP BROTHERSHIP DROPPED

McSpirk hear thoughts 👀👀👀

this is the one I've probably posted most about on here, but not since last year - this is supposed to be my blank space for my mcspirk bingo card, and there's a lot of stuff about it here - basically magic-science shenanigans happen, and Spock and McCoy can suddenly hear each other's thoughts - but both of them think such nice thoughts about each other that they literally cannot address it, and without discussing it they both start lying/heavily implying that they're fighting in their thoughts (Kirk, of course, sees right through them).

This is also not a tight POV on one character (a tight POV on one character is like the only thing I've written for years now) so we'll see how that goes, lollllllll

__________

“I'm not trying to intrude, Doctor,” Spock says.

McCoy snorts. “I'm sure by now you can tell that I'm a little more worried about intruding on you than the fact that I suddenly can't keep a secret worth a damn, although let me have the pleasure of saying out loud how very unhappy I am with that situation, as well.”

“Want to fill in the spectator?” Kirk asks. His eyes are narrowed, and McCoy can see the gears going behind Kirk's eyes. You already know the answer, too, don't you, Jimmy, he thinks. Out of the corner of his eye, McCoy can see Spock raise an eyebrow, but McCoy just bounces lightly on the balls of his feet.

“Nightmares,” he says.

Kirk purses his lips a little in thought. “We've been on enough away missions together—we've been in each others pockets, enough, Bones. You don't get nightmares.”

“I don't get nightmares when I'm sleeping around other people. Generally, I don't get nightmares that much alone, either. But,” he says, lifting his hand up to tick them off on his fingers, “high stress situations, feeling not in control, headaches—”

“Headaches?” Kirk cuts in, frowning.

“Somehow I don't think their alien tech was made with human brains in mind. It's fine, it's manageable, but when I put it together with everything else—”

“Nightmares,” Kirk says. McCoy nods, and then glances back at Spock, who's been watching their interplay.

“Bad enough he's got to hear whatever song is stuck in my head all day. Call me crazy, but I'd rather not subject anyone—even our dear Mr. Spock—to a front row view of my nightmares, especially while he's awake.”

“You are not going to continue to sedate yourself to sleep, Doctor,” Spock says. He says it like it's a fact, and McCoy briefly entertains the thought of Spock chasing him down the corridors to get his hypo.

Spock doesn't so much as twitch, but McCoy can see, suddenly, Spock's completion of the thought: Spock snatching the hypo from McCoy's hand, dropping it to the ground, and crushing it beneath his heel.

McCoy rolls his eyes. “I do happen to the Chief Medical Officer, Mr. Spock, so I think that means—”

“I think that means you've still got to listen to your Captain, Bones,” Kirk cuts in. “Spock's right.”

“Jim—”

“I do have an...” Kirk tips his head to the side, a half-smile chasing the movement, “an alternate suggestion, Bones.”

He's met by two identical (in intention, if not in looks) expressions: eyebrows raised, a faint trace of suspicion closely followed by so much trust that some days—most days—it could knock Kirk right off his feet if he let it.

“Well by all means,” McCoy says. “Lay it on us.”

“You're bunking with me,” Kirk says.

🎁What is something they keep like: a souvenir, a keepsake, or a family heirloom; that means a lot to them? Why is it so important to them?

Since you didn't specify a character I take it any character goes? :D if so I'll pick the one I feel the strongest about.

Not-so-quick story time.

A willful preadolescent hyur was once exploring the Hinterlands south of her Sharlayan home, delving deep as she always did into the network of caverns she was not supposed to approach. She came across a bewildered little lalafell child who looked no older than 9 summers yet had the audacity to call her a child. She was an angry, feral little thing who cursed her in tongues long lost to history, but the Sharlayan girl with wisdom far beyond her years saw that she was only overwhelmed. Without saying a word, she took her wide-rimmed hat she used to hide under when she would sneak off, and threw it over this raging monster. The maddening sensory overwhelm was dulled and the magicked hat instantly calmed her down. The girl then proceeded to introduced herself as Matoya and, at not receiving a name back, saw fit to call this little thing Spitfire as she brought her into her home to care for her for a few moons.

They ended up growing up together and Matoya even inducted her into the academic world that she might reorient herself to this strange new realm she found herself in. She tempered her rage. She taught her to control her volatile aether so as not to raise suspicion, lest she got herself banished or worse. She showed her how to work her magic slowly and meditatively into confections and baked goods with minimal loss of potency (they had their own experimental subject with a sweet tooth-- the neighbor's kid they called Little Louis who never could say no to marron glacé) and as they studied they developed their research on aetheric convergence privately together.

Matoya had saved her life in more ways than she would admit, and although they had their differences on many issues they remain good friends to this day. And to this day only Matoya knows where her little Spitfire came from.

They parted ways just before the exodus, but not before Yasumi stole her hat.

So yeah the hat means a lot to her.

I had more keepsake related stories for characters I've rarely talked about before so I'm a little hesitant to include them.. eh I think that was a long enough answer for now anyway.

Howdy gang

I kind of became a monster now that I've got Baldur's Gate 3.

So here are some of my favorite screenshots of Innise!

Also I'm drawing her! I'm putting some of my own personal flair on her because as great as the character creator is I am also a picky bitch, this is still a WIP I'mma give her so much funky magic. She's a Wild Magic Sorcerer!!!

She's shockingly underdeveloped so I'mma put my ask game tag on here! Feel free to send me some asks and ask about her. She makes me feel feral shes so pretty and tall and ehjdbjsbdjsm

Edit:just remembered @bluecoolr you wanted tegs when I posted about my dnd babies

[kiokodoodles]

36. Your favourite amalgamate? & 72. If you had to be one of the main characters, which would you choose?

36. Endogeny............ Or the spoon(?) that tucks you in

72. Honestly, I would be Undyne. In truth, I would maybe be Alphys, but I really admire Undyne's courage and determination which I wish I had more of. Also I would be able to suplex a boulder just because I can and summon magical spears who would not want that?

[just-a-drawing-bean]

I love your art lots and I love hearing people talk about their art so I'm asking some of my dca moots a bunch of fun art questions, no obligation of course

What is the art piece you are proudest of?

2. What is the art piece you've spent the most effort/time on?

3. What art did you spend the least amount of effort on?

4. What art piece/pieces has crazy lore that you could spend days explaining?

5. What piece is so completely different from your usual style?

If you want tag an artist who you also want to see answer these questions feel free to though of course no obligation

Aw thank you!!! This is interesting ok hmmm the proudest piece is hard to pick because a lot of the other ones in this post I'm proud of but I guess this one. I had a lot of fun designing him and making him a silly little angry fish. I want to draw him more.

A piece I spent the most time and effort, apart from an animation, I'd say this one. It took a while to draw the flowers and pick out the correct colors since I was going for a particular art look. the fact that I drew this from an ask lmao, I got mega inspired by the suggestion.

Ha, what piece did I spend the least amount of time? oh boy I do a lot of low quality doodles and fast art but a more finished piece that was fast would be Fornite Eclipse because I literally speedran that and my friends kept me on a timer lmao although I did go back to shade a little. But an actual fast doodle is something in like under a min like this sun or something drawn in gartic phone which has a timer.

something with a lot of lore.... its not my lore but i could talk about the story and characters of Sleuth Jesters all day... <333

Something that is way out of style is the Spiderverse boys since its trying to match that comic colorful energetic style. very fun tho

[beanghostprincess]

I dont know if youve ever played Horizon Zero Dawn but Im going to assume you havent for a moment just so i can tell you that, going off the vibe of your posts (so, inaccurate), I think you would really enjoy that game.

I really get the impression that youd get on really well with Aloy's character and story, as well as the other characters she meets and the relationships she has with them (Talanah and the hunting lodge quest is a highlight), as well as the other characters in the full story. (I get the impresson from your posts that of all parts of a story you enjoy the characters and their relationships the most)

(And hey, if youre looking for some gays, I can tell you that the sequel has a pair of dysonfunctional lesbians, and a pair of functional ones in the DLC)

Its also got a great story, a really cool world and machines (the cat robots do the kitty stretch) and some very fun stealth and combat. The first game is in my top 10, and I do really feel like youd get along with it very well.

I haven't played it!! I've seen a few things out there about it and it seems interesting!! Sadly, I only use my Switch to play games... But perhaps I can watch somebody's gameplay someday!! <33

[kredenakrejn]

I think u are the bestest and floofyest and most amazing Grama ever :3 ❤️. *Gives cookie and best grama mug* 🍪☕️

Oh wowwie🥺 You'll make me tear up at this rate

[frodo-with-glasses]

I have question!

So have you seen this tumblr post about Merry and Pippin's memory of Frodo beginning to fade as they get older after he leaves for Valinor? Okay, now you have.

So now in the Magnolia AU, what do you think their relationship would look like with Frodo choosing to stay in the Shire, in Middle Earth? How often do they see each other? Do they feel sort of distant from him, wanting to reach out and help him but knowing there's nothing they can really do for him, since they don't really know what he went through, not the way Sam does? I just- OUGH I get emotional about this either way 😭

“Of course we did not get so far as they did, but we have heard the stories. We know something of what they saw. Merry helped to slay the Witch King, after all, and I…well, I…”

“And Pip met Sauron himself, in the Palantir. We’re not ignorant. Of course Sam was with him the whole way. That has well earned him his place as Frodo’s dearest friend. But after Sam, no one else in the Shire understands what he’s endured as well as we do. And we do what we can.”

“That’s right! We’ve our own business in Tuckborough and Buckland, after all, and we cannot go to Hobbiton as often as we’d like. But we know Frodo will be ill in October and March, and we put forward our best efforts then. And—and they do the same for us, when they can.”

“I—er. Well, it’s not…”

“Speak up, Mer, they can’t hear you.”

“I…I recall that last year, Sam came to visit Brandy Hall just before the anniversary of Pelennor, and he saw to it that Estella and Theo were cared for while I was ill. I feel I’ve yet to repay him that debt. That is what it’s like. We four Travellers, we look after one another.”

“Precisely. If Frodo is thin during his ill spells, it is not for the lack of food or drink in Bag End. I shall always see to that.”

“Perhaps our memories shall falter as we age. Such is the lot of old-timers. They have much to remember, and cannot keep it all in, sometimes. But we are not yet old, and we shan’t forget a friend. Not one for whom we have sacrificed so much.”

“That’s right! We love him dearly, don’t we, Mer?”

“That we do.”

MAGNOLIA AU ASK GAME!

[driftingballoons]

For the ask game!

3. Which final boss and/or final dungeon do you like the most (whether from a narrative or gameplay perspective)?

8. Any favourite character(s)?

12. If you could change one thing about your favourite game(s), what would it be?

3. the SE5 primal dialga fight! The way they’re fighting him basically to the death, just trying to buy time, the sun rising around them, the wind blowing…they’re finally getting the first taste of the future they could have had, but they can’t stop and enjoy it—they have to fight time itself to save it. It felt like an even higher stakes moment than in the main part of the game to me—they’re giving it their all despite actively disappearing themselves. And ironically, the worse they feel and the more they disappear, the more they know their effort it paying off.  

8. Grovyle :3 I’ve made a few rambling, fairly coherent posts about my feelings on him, but his pure heart and at times incomprehensible behavior have enchanted me. He contains multitudes. He’s one of those characters that really makes you consider your life/reevaluate your perspectives (*cough cough Dusknoir cough*)

12. I think adding some conflict between hero and partner could have improved the plot. Don’t get me wrong, I do love that they’re BFF soulmates and that they would die for each other, but that might have been more compelling if they had to go through some things to reach that state first. My idea was that the conflict could be about Dusknoir—namely that Hero doesn’t trust them, but Partner refuses to believe their dimensional scream or even accept the situation during the betrayal. If, say, they had some tension building about it in the past, they get betrayed, escape the execution, then have a big fight bc Partner STILL wants to seek out/trust Dusknoir, while Hero can’t believe that they’re still in denial/not believing them, maybe they could split up. Hero could find grovyle, tell them what happened, and convince him they have to go find partner. Then the cutscene could switch to partner finding dusknoir, and either need to be saved or accidentally lead him to hero/grovyle. Ultimately, it would end with hero/grovyle/celebi saving partner, and partner finally realizing/accepting that, even though they were fighting, hero really DOES care about them and will always have their back. I think something like that would have a) really shown how much their friendship strengthened, despite what they’ve been through, and b) add some more impact to the dusknoir betrayal. Plot wise, it felt like he betrays you, then kind of gets swept under the rug for the sake of moving ahead.
