NSFW Niragi Alphabet

I couldn’t just pass by and created my own version, btw, too many alphabets seem so unrealistic about him, I believe this one isn’t fully OOC. So, anyways, here’s explicitly content, and I really tried to make it more detailed. Scroll this, if you don’t like smut.

A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)

Niragi? Aftercare? If you’re expecting long cuddles and some other cute stuff from him, honey, you’re definitely in a wrong bed. He’s more about to leave right away he’s finished, saying something like “You actually did not bad.” If he actually loves trusts you, he might stay for a night, but be sure , he will silently leave in the morning.

B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

His favorite body part is his tongue. He shows it off as much as he can and definitely is proud of the way he can satisfy with it. Also, his hands. Like damn, have you seen his long fingers?

Speaking about his favorite body part of yours , I feel like this man loves ass and thighs. Be sure, that he will touch them as much as possible.

C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)

He enjoys seeing his cum all over your body, cumming into all your holes and praising you for being good girl, taking his cum inside, especially when swallowing it.

D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

Niragi won’t admit his attraction to men. He hates to seem submissive no matter which way, so he won’t tell anyone that once he had fun with some guys that dominated over him. It obviously wasn’t his favorite experience, but you can be sure he low key enjoyed it.

E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)

I’m sure, that as soon as he arrived in borderland, he decided to try basically everything that is about sex. In real world he wasn’t so opened and didn’t have many partners, but here he is, and who the hell can stop him?

F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)

Doggy style and something like missionary, but your legs are on his shoulders. Give this man some control. Perfect positions for fixing your hands while he is fucking you, grabbing your hair or holding your neck.

G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)

It really depends, but I feel like you won’t escape from his sharp remarks and jokes even during the process. However, he also can be serious.

H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)

He is well groomed there, he might have some hair, it won’t get in the way during blowjob.

I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)

Again, if you expect romantic from Niragi, you’re in the wrong bad. He’s trying to get as much pleasure as possible, but don’t worry, he’ll take care about you too. He’s not that type of person who will ask you if you’re comfortable, he’ll just make sure you moan and beg him for more.

J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)

This man jerks off as often as he has sex. Sometimes it’s just easier, than finding a girl.

K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)

He. Has. SOOOO. Many. Kinks.

I believe his favorite are gun-play, blood-play and bondage. He loves seeing you vulnerable in his hands, totally under his control. You can relax, because he really knows what he’s doing, so he won’t hurt you probably .

L = Location (favorite places to do the do)

He can do it basically anywhere. But this man LOVES public places. Like he takes all the risks and can fuck you somewhere in a corner before the game. The thought of getting caught turns him on.

M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)

He’s always ready. Like seriously, you can come up to him and say that you want and he’ll be up to fuck you right there.

N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

Degradation. Try to call him slut and rifle near your temple will be there not in role play way. Degrading him gives him really hurtful flashbacks, so probably you just become enemies now, cause we all know he won’t share his feelings. However, he will degrade you during sex.

O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)

Preference in receiving. When you are sucking it, he enjoys the view so much. He can let you do the job by yourself or just fuck you in your mouth. But he also pretty enjoys giving, like have you seen his tongue??

P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)

He’s definitely fast and rough, but slows down to tease you making you beg him for more.

Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)

He likes quickies, not more than proper sex , but he’s up to have sex if you’re both hard but need to go soon. Honey, believe me, even 5 minutes with him will bring enough pleasure.

R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)

He loves taking risks and he’s open to anything you offer. He’s always ready to experiment and he’s initiator of some new stuff in your sex.

S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)

He’s up for 4-5 rounds, depending on the duration. But obviously high stamina.

T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)

This man is absolutely into BDSM , so for sure he has some ropes, cuffs, gags and leashes. For you, for sure, I hope you didn’t think he’d let you use that on him.

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

Niragi teases a lot. When he passes by or standing near, he’ll certainly touch you or say some dirty things in your ear. When you are in bed, he will make you tell him how much you want him , describe all the positions you want him to fuck you in and beg for his dick inside of you.

V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)

He isn’t pretty loud, but he can let out some moans and growls.

W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)

He’ll probably boast with his sex experience and other militants will be forced to hear about it. They’ll probably tell him how disgusting he is and that he needs to stop talking about that, but this man doesn’t shut up. Try to shut up Niragi. Also, he’ll be up to threesome sometimes, so someone from militants can also join you in bed. You’ll be really surprised, because he didn’t care to let you know beforehand.

X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)

I think he has a bit bigger than average dick like 18 cm. Enough to please a woman, especially don’t forget that it’s not length it’s skill that matters.

Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)

His sex drive is really high and he’s really pissed off when he doesn’t have sex or do the do for a long time. So if you’re not able to give him as often as he wants, bad news, you’re probably not his only partner.

Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

Lol, why do I feel like he still has lots of energy after it, so basically no need to fall asleep, but if you ask him to stay for the night he’ll probably be sleeping in some minutes.

[stop-breaking-my-heart-telltale]

Hiya, I’m back from my impromptu break. 

Gotta do that every once in a while so I don’t get burnout, y’know? But in saying that, there are a few things I wanna talk about going into the future with the blog. Yep, it’s one of those posts hahaha

I won’t be posting much during the week since I work. I’m more active on weekends where I’m off. As for what I’ll actually post, I still enjoy doing my little rambles about whatever’s on my mind, I have a lot of asks that have piled up that I wanna go through, and of course there’s themed nights. 

But here’s the thing- y’all know that I’m primarily a twdg blog with a heavy focus on tfs, I’ve done this for years now, and I’ve found that while I still enjoy chatting about everything, it’s starting to feel repetitive with certain topics, y’know? We’ve have character nights for every character, we’ve discussed every season, I get repeating asks, and there just isn’t anything new to talk about…… well, okay this a wee bit of a lie because I guess the comic coming out is new but the comic isn’t canon and it’s not exactly fun to talk about soooo I don’t count it. 

I want to continue discussing aspects of twdg, but I wanna spice it up a bit by talking about other games, too. 

Like other Telltale games! Wolf Among Us, Tales from the Borderlands, both seasons of Batman, Game of Thrones, and I guess we could even talk about Minecraft Story Mode, though do know that when I streamed that game a while ago, it did break a small part of me... it’s the worst Telltale game I’ve ever played. Wait... or did Guardian’s of the Galaxy take that spot? Hmmm...

I want to discuss other Telltale games, as well as non-Telltale games that have a heavy focus on story and choices. We’ve talked about Life is Strange a bit in the past, I’d love to discuss King’s Quest [2015], I’m currently playing through the Dragon Age series after finishing Inquisition [that’s the only one I’ve finished, currently playing through Origins and it’s going greeeeat... and by great, I mean I’m stuck in the fade! Yay!], and I’m a huge fan of the Dark Pictures Anthology [though I still haven’t played House of Ashes but I’m going to soon!]. I’d like to dedicate a night to talk about other games every once in a while, and I’ll be sure to tag is as #non-twdg for anyone not interested, they can block that tag.

And just to make it clear, I’m still mainly discussing twdg. I’ll just sprinkle in other asks/themed nights for other games with it. 

Then because I’ve gotten a couple asks about future streams...... ehhh, I dunno how to really explain it, but I’m having some issues with the idea of streaming lately. It’s probably anxiety and overthinking, but until I feel more comfortable and want to get back into streaming, there won’t be any planned streams in the future. I’ll update if that changes. 

Let’s see, is there anything else....? I guess not. Feel free to send asks in, I will be answering things this weekend. Hope you guys are having a great week and I look forward to chatting!

Stuck In Borderland

Chapter 5: Begrudging Cooperation

To me all the Borderland games are a violent version of childhood games (tag, hide&seek, etc.) Soooo I went from there! Enjoy more interactions as this creeps towards a Chishiyaxoc story!

Thanks for reading!

I gave the militants names because I couldn’t find any listed. All canon characters belong to Haro Aso.

Warnings: language, weapons, mention of death

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sayaka leaned against the wall with Kuina and Madoka, preparing for her own game tonight. She cast a glance over at Madoka. Her arms were wrapped around herself, and she had dark circles surrounding her eyes. Sayaka frowned, Madoka and her team came back late last night all covered in dirt from head to toe and very shaken up. The 5 of hearts… any of the games would have put them through hell, but a hearts game was both physically and emotionally exhausting.

“You don’t have to be down here with us Madoka,” Sayaka said with a smile, “we appreciate the support, but you can go rest.”

Madoka turned her head to look at her slowly and gave her a weak smile, “it’s okay I want to wish you two luck.”

Kuina smiled, “we appreciate it Madoka.”

Madoka nodded slowly and looked back to Hatter. Sayaka watched her nervously. Usually bubbly Madoka looked… defeated and broken. I hate this place...

“And let the games begin!” Cheers erupted from everyone in the lobby as they rushed towards the tables to get their assignments.

“That’s our cue,” Kuina said pushing herself off the wall.

“Okay, go get some rest Madoka,” Sayaka hugged Madoka who leaned into her embrace with a sigh.

“Yea, I will. See you when you get back.”

Sayaka hesitated, “yea. See you when we get back.”

They pulled apart and Madoka gave Sayaka a sleepy smile, hugged Kuina, and waved to them as she headed out of the lobby. Sayaka sighed as she watched her go with a deep frown on her face.

“You won’t make it through the night if you’re still thinking about her wellbeing instead of your own.” Sayaka turned around to see Chishiya standing there with his hood up and his hands in the pockets of his hoodie.

She frowned and glared at him, “who asked you?”

“Just some advice. She made it through her game, now you make it through yours,” he said simply and walked into the crowd of people.

She huffed balling her hands into fists. He was so arrogant and selfish and… and… she squeezed her eyes shut, right. He was right… she needed to focus on herself right now, but that didn’t make her any less irritated with him.

“Hey, are you coming?” Kuina appeared in the crowd and pointed over her shoulder, “what happened?”

“Chishiya,” Sayaka grumbled in response, but walked past her towards the tables.

“Oh.”

Sayaka approached the table and was handed her folded number assignment. She turned to Kuina to compare, but frowned when she saw a 5 on her paper and a 3 on hers.

“Sucks…” she mumbled.

“I’ll see you when we get back though,” Kuina suggested.

“Right,” Sayaka sighed turning around.

“Sayaka!” She looked over her shoulder as Akiko pushed her way out of the crowd over to her.

“Akiko, hey,” Sayaka smiled.

“What group are you in?”

“5, you?”

“Oh, 7,” Akiko shrugged, “I’m with Kaoru and a couple of the other militants, so it’ll be fine,” she said with a smile, but Sayaka could see the uncertainty in her eyes as she tried to convince herself that was true.

“Right,” Sayaka nodded, “you’ll be fine I’m sure. You’re a really bright girl Akiko. Don’t let them shoot you down, okay?”

“Yea…” There was a long silence between the two of them, “I’ll see you after, you, Madoka, and I should grab a drink again,” Akiko smiled and turned to walk to the cars.

Sayaka smiled, “yea, that sounds fun. I’ll see you after,” she said with a wave. Akiko nodded and walked away leaving Sayaka standing alone.

She shook her head and smacked her cheeks, “focus.”

Walking out the front door Sayaka stretched her arms above her head, “let’s do this.” She turned her eyes to the car with the 5 spray painted on the side and immediately scowled. Her team for the evening consisted of 2 militants, a girl with long wavy black hair wearing a tactical vest over her bikini named Saiko, and a boy with short black hair and a frown named Kenji. As well as a random beach girl who looked like she was going to burst into tears at any second, and Chishiya. He smirked at her and waved as she walked down the front steps.

“Ugh, it’s like he planned this…” she muttered, in all actuality he totally could have he is an executive. She walked up to the car giving Chishiya a passing glare as she clambered into the backseat.

The girl who looked like she was about to cry sat down in the far window seat first and gave Sayaka a weak smile, “sorry, do you mind if I sit by the window? I get carsick.”

Sayaka stared at her for a second with a deep frown on her face, “fine,” she mumbled and plopped down in the center seat as Chishiya slid in beside her and slammed the door shut. All the militants in the cars whooped at each other like this was the beginning of some sports event, and revved the engines before peeling out of the parking lot.

The knuckles on Sayaka’s hands were white from gripping the seat beneath her trying not to be flung against either the young girl or Chishiya as they rounded the corners. The militants had brilliantly cut out all the seatbelts of the cars, citing that they “just got in the way”. In the way of what Sayaka really wasn’t sure, and honestly didn’t want to know. The car sped down the road slamming into a pothole going at least 70mph, and Kenji let out an excited scream. Sayaka dug her nails into the cracked fake red leather trying to keep her butt on the seat, while the girl beside her yelped and was slammed into the door. Meanwhile, Chishiya barely moved, and Sayaka glared at him from the corner of her eye. It was irritating how calm he was.

Kenji pulled the car up to the National Science and History Museum. All the spotlights were on in front of the building casting long shadows like ghosts waving them up the steps. Sayaka turned to the girl from the Beach waiting for her to get out, but she had folded into herself and was hyperventilating, “you have to play the game or you’ll die,” Sayaka pointed out causing the girl to wheeze and nod, but she didn’t move. Chishiya got out of the car on the other side and waved at the open door. Sayaka glared at him and stood up slamming her foot onto the seat and climbing out over the trunk glaring at him the whole time. He smirked, let out a breathy laugh, and started walking towards the entrance after the militants.

Sayaka frowned before turning her head to the young girl who was still sitting in the car shaking. You need to focus on yourself… she let out a long sigh and opened the car door holding a hand out to her, but I’m not completely heartless… yet. “Come on. My name’s Sayaka, we need to get inside.”

She turned to look up at her and wiped tears away from her eyes with a nod, and took Sayaka’s hand, “I’m Maiko.” They walked up the steps into the Museum the beep of the laser grid activating making Maiko jump.

“Just keep walking,” Sayaka said heading to the table at the center of the room to grab a phone.

“Facial recognition complete.

10 minutes until registration is complete.”

So far there was only the 5 of them from the beach and one other man who looked just as nervous as Maiko. Sayaka crossed her arms as she waited and dragged her eyes over the lobby. The museum back in the real world didn’t use many lights, and everything falling apart made it look even more dark and creepy. Skeletons of dinosaurs and whales were hanging unevenly from the ceiling like they were about to swoop down and snatch one of them up at any second. Stuffed taxidermy wild animals were decomposing and leaning at odd angles. The whole place was like a disintegrating cemetery beckoning them to all join the animals with this as their final resting place.

“Registration is now complete.

Game: Hopscotch, Difficulty: 3 of Clubs,” Sayaka watched the phone as the card flashed onto her screen.

“Rules:

Reach the finish line in the allotted time.

Time: 45 minutes.” Sayaka pouted, that was it? Reach the end? No other rules?

“Please proceed to the start, once all participants are inside the game will begin.” A door at the top of the stairwell lit up and they all turned their heads.

“Guess we’re going upstairs,” she muttered slipping the phone into the waistband on her shorts, and started for the stairs. They all trudged up and through the lit up door into a new room. Much like downstairs there were only exhibit spotlights that beamed down from the ceiling casting dark shadows around the completely empty room. Maiko was the last to enter the room, and the door slammed shut behind her making her jump.

“Your time starts now.” Another light lit up on the other side of the room showing a white circle drawn on the ground.

“Well that’s simple enough that’s the finish line!” The guy who had been alone in the museum when they arrived yelled, and started across the room.

“Hopscotch…” Sayaka muttered scanning the floor, her eyes widened, “wait stop!” She lunged forward grabbing the man by the back of his shirt and tossing him backwards as the floor gave out. Almost every square tile in the room fell away to the first floor below, all except ones that formed a hopscotch court across the room.

“Oh my god… I nearly died… thank you,” the man said shakily pushing himself up from the floor.

Sayaka rounded on him, “use you’re fucking head! It’ll never be that easy.”

He folded in on himself, and Sayaka saw Maiko take a step back. She turned her head back to analyze the tiles. Each was about three feet apart and there were varying patterns between being single tiles in a row and doubles, where you would use both feet was this normal hopscotch. In between was a 20 foot drop back down to the bones and decayed exhibits below. As she looked at the drop Sayaka’s vision swayed for a second and she took a step away from the edge digging her nails into her palms, just don’t look down.

“Well let’s get started,” Saiko said stepping forward her heels clicking against the tiles. She jumped forward onto the first solo tile and it lit up. Saiko looked down at her feet shocked, “is it going to explode?”

“I think if it was it already would have happened,” Kenji quipped stepping forward, “keep moving you bimbo.”

Saiko glared at him, but jumped to the next tile. Sayaka had to admit she was very agile even in 3 inch heels. The two of them kept jumping until they were 6 tiles in and paused.

“Hey, we can’t go any further!” Saiko called.

Sayaka frowned, “why not?”

“There’s a laser grid here.”

“What?” Sayaka stared at the tiles. This wasn’t like any hopscotch she had played, at what point did hopscotch have lasers?

“I’ll go next,” Maiko jumped forward onto the first tile, Sayaka watched her as she went. The first tile lit up, and so did the second, but when she landed on the double tile it stayed black.

“We all have to stand on the tiles for the laser to turn off and then we can advance,” Sayaka muttered and walked to the edge of the platform. Drawing in a deep breath she jumped after Maiko, just don’t look down. She landed on the other double tile, but nothing happened. Sayaka stomped her foot, “what the fuck.”

Maiko jumped forward onto the last single tile, and Sayaka pouted as it lit up the second Maiko’s feet touched it. She closed her eyes with a long sigh and jumped back one tile turning to Chishiya and the other player.

“We have to jump on it at the same time,” she said. Chishiya quirked an eyebrow at her and the smirk spread across his face.

Sayaka glared at him, but waved him on, “we have to do it together.”

He nodded and stepped forward pulling his headphones out of his ears and shoving them into his sweatshirt pocket. Sayaka sidestepped so she was standing on the edge of her tile making room for Chishiya to join her. He leapt forward onto her tile the closeness causing Sayaka to lean back and her heel to hang over the edge. She looked over her shoulder as she felt herself wobble uneasily, and stiffened when she felt Chishiya’s hands on her waist steadying her. Sayaka snapped her head forward to stare at him wide-eyed.

“Try not to lose your balance,” he smirked.

Sayaka’s eye twitched and she balled her hands into fists on his chest, “if my own survival didn’t depend on it I would push you off this platform.”

He didn’t reply just continued to smirk at her. With a sigh Sayaka turned her head to look at the double tile. If they had to land on it at the same time they would have to jump together, but the tiles were just barely over a foot wide. Groaning she looked back to Chishiya and held out her hand to him, “we have to jump at the same time.”

He nodded and took her hand. Slowly the two of them turned on the tile with each of them having one foot slipping off the edge. Sayaka drew in a deep breath and cast a glance at her hand in Chishiya’s. Why was this oddly comforting? She swallowed heavily, “on three.”

“One, two, three!” Both of their hands let go and they leapt off the platform. Their feet slammed onto the tiles at the same time and they lit up yellow.

“Oh thank god,” Sayaka breathed.

“The grid is gone!” Saiko said and continued forward.

The other player continued behind them, and they all moved forward until Saiko and Kenji came to the far set of double tiles. “So we have to jump together? Ew, I don’t want to hold your hand…” Saiko grumbled glaring at Kenji.

“There are 30 minutes remaining.” They all looked up as the voice rang out.

“Shut up and move over Saiko!” Kenji snapped and jumped forward to share the tile with Saiko. Despite their bickering they successfully made the jump to the double tiles.

“Let’s keep it moving!” Saiko ordered over her shoulder.

“God she’s bossy,” Sayaka grumbled.

Chishiya jumped onto the solo tile ahead of her and turned allow her room to join him. Sayaka tensed her muscles and jumped, but her foot slipped on the plastic of her flip-flop causing her foot to leave the platform a second too late. Her other foot hit the edge of the next tile a gasp escaping her lips as she started to fall backwards. Chishiya’s hand shot out grabbing her arm and pulling her forward onto the tile. Sayaka felt her cheeks heat up at how close they were.

“Thanks…”she muttered looking away from him her hands resting on his chest.

“The whole point of the game is to not fall,” he pointed out.

Sayaka glared at him, but didn’t say anything. She could feel herself shaking as her eyes darted back to the floor a long way below, and Chishiya’s hand shifted on her waist.

“Afraid of heights?” He asked quirking an eyebrow.

Sayaka looked up at him through her bangs, “it’s none of your business.”

“If you two are done flirting we want to finish this game!” Kenji called.

Sayaka felt her face heat up even more and she cast Kenji a dirty look, “okay,” she held her hand out to Chishiya who took it and they shifted to stand side by side, “on three. One, two, three!”

They landed together and the tiles lit up.

“That leaves one set to go! This is easy!” Kenji called as he jumped forward.

Sayaka frowned, “it’s like he’s asking for the game makers to throw a twist.”

There was just one more set of double tiles. Sayaka landed first and stepped aside for Chishiya to join her. He jumped forward landing hard and wobbling a little. Sayaka grabbed the sleeve of his sweatshirt to steady him and snorted, “you know you aren’t supposed to fall,” she mocked.

He gave her a sour look and stood up straight his hands resting on her waist again, “you’re one to talk. You look like you’re about to pass out.”

Sayaka frowned she knew her cheeks were red and she desperately wished she could make the blood to drain from her face, “shut up. We have an extra player I could still push you off you know.”

“So could I.”

Sayaka watched his eyes. Always so cold and calculating she knew he would push her off if she got in the way, but why hadn’t he just let her fall before? There was one extra person in this game he could’ve teamed up with them.

“Are you ready to jump?” He asked snapping her out of her thoughts.

“Yea, yea I’m ready,” she said and he held his hand out for her. Sayaka took it slowly and turned on the platform.

“One, two, three!” Chishiya counted down and slipped his hand out of hers as they jumped off the platform. The tile lit up yellow and the final laser grid faded away leaving them a clear path to the winner’s circle. Saiko and Kenji were the first to jump and run into the circle their phones lighting up to congratulate them. Everyone else followed letting out a relieved sigh as the countdowns disappeared and their visas were displayed on the small screens.

“Congratulations all participants have been issued a 3 day visa.” Sayaka pulled the phone out of her waistband to stare at the screen before tossing it over the edge. It clattered to the graveyard below, and Sayaka glared at the still lit up screen shining in the darkness. It was like the makers were reading their minds before every game using their own fears against them.

“Let’s get the fuck out of here then!” Saiko called and was already stomping to the door. Sayaka looked over her shoulder to watch her and Kenji leave. Maiko and the solo player following, while Chishiya walked over to the pedestal in the center of the winner’s circle to pick up the 3 of clubs card.

He glanced over his shoulder at her, “something wrong?”

“Why didn’t you just let me fall?”

He raised his eyebrows at her and paused, analyzing her again making her feel small, “you were the lesser of two evils,” he said simply turning to leave. Pulling the hood back up over his white-blonde hair he walked out of the room leaving Sayaka alone to sigh.

“I should’ve expected that answer,” she mumbled and followed him out of the Museum.

 Sayaka followed behind the rest of the group as they all walked into the lobby of the Beach. Kenji held up his pistol and let out a triumphant yell that was echoed back by the other militants in the room. Sayaka rolled her eyes; they were acting like all of this was fun.

Another group walked through the door and Sayaka turned to see who it was. She saw Kaoru and the rest of his squad and searched the crowd for Akiko, but froze when she didn’t see her. A lump started to form in her stomach and she sucked in her bottom lip. Balling her hands into the fists she glared at Kaoru as he threw an arm around a random beach girl.

“Don’t do anything stupid.” Sayaka turned around as Chishiya walked up to her.

“I wasn’t.”

“That’s the face you made during the executive meeting before you snapped,” he pointed out. Sayaka felt her cheeks heating up again and turned to look at Kaoru as he whispered into the girl’s ear making her giggle.

“She’s dead, and he’s acting like she didn’t even matter…” She whispered.

“That’s because she didn’t.”

She swung her head around to glare at Chishiya, “how can you say she didn’t matter? She was the only reason I survived the 6 of diamonds. She deserved to live more than that waste of space!”

“She didn’t make it. There’s no point in being upset about it. She’s gone, she doesn’t matter now,” he said firmly giving her a hard look, “if you want to survive Sayaka you’re going to have to start letting go of the people who can’t make it on their own.”

She stared at him. That was the first time he’d said her name. It was like all of the blood in her veins froze solid, but there was a fluttering in her stomach that made her want to vomit. She drew in a long shaky breath and pushed the feeling in her stomach deep down, “then why didn’t you let me fall?”

Sayaka didn’t wait for him to answer and turned walking out of the lobby leaving him standing alone. A smirk curled his lips as Chishiya dropped his head letting out a breathy laugh, and put his headphones back in his ears.

i love them a lot and im really interested in seeing more of them

sanctuary 3

a huge spaceship orbiting whichever planet you’re on at the time! its a home base. it looks so cool. sanctuary 2 was implied to have been destroyed :(

you know when a cool gun falls off the map and you want to commit homicide? no more of that! theres a space lost and found in sanctuary! you click on it and it gives you all the loot that has been misplaced into the void

theres player! quarters! so each character has their own room.. we only saw amara’s, and hers is nice and purple and she has a punching bag and a meditation area!

marcus sells upgrades now! not crazy earl! and you pay with cash, not eridium

slot machines have like, legends? on the machines. they tell you what outcomes each combo has

tannis looks to be in charge of the infirmary instead of zed? but zed still runs the vending machines so i hope he’s alive

hammerlock will give you missions to hunt animals and he’ll mount the heads on the walls of his room! also he has a different arm now, its very long, kinda like troy’s actually

crazy earl has a vending machine?? dunno what it sells tho :(

maya has a room.. you can talk to her. nothing to say except i love her so much

promethea!

the first world you visit after pandora, it seems

maliwan is in the process of trying to… “merge” atlas. which means. they’re fighting a very violent war on promethea

atlas is losing and seems to represent the people. maliwan is very brutal and doesnt really care about civilian lives

zer0 IS employed by rhys. they’re an agent of his? one of the maliwan execs refers to them as rhys’ “best friend” but also that maliwan exec is implied to have a crush on rhys i think so hes just jealous. zer0 is amazing and competent as usual

lorelei is! a cool new npc! an employee of rhys. i love her she’s cool

rhys refers to his facial hair as his “siege mustache” and it opens up several possibilities that i’m not ready for. does he have other facial hair variations? his peacetime goatee? his bedtime beard? he says the troops love his mustache but i think he’s just making excuses

also he says his last name is STONGFORK? UNLESS IM MISHEARING THAT??

customization stuff

YOU CAN EMOTE. you choose emotes at the quick change stations

theres also echo customization things

and a lot more vehicle customization

there’s so much. and no microtransactions! none of this will cost money!

misc

THE MAP IS IN 3D. no more getting hopelessly lost on maps with multiple levels

destructible environments! if you take cover and enemies shoot at you, that cover degrades!

you can revive npcs and npcs can revive you!

theres instanced loot! you and your loot sniping friend get different drops so everyones happy. there’s also instanced enemies! if you’re level 25 and your friend is level 5, you will be dealing appropriate damage to enemies. theres an option to turn both of these off, however, in classic mode!

vending machines have COOL new interfaces, you dont have to click on the vending machine to see the item of the day, and with ammo machines, you can refill all your ammo with the press of a single button!

bl3 is MUCH larger than ANY borderlands game before it, and it includes a lot more boss fights!

PLAYLIST SHUFFLE TAG!

Okay, so @viterbofangirl tagged me in this and I need to start learning to post my own shit, so what the hell, why not?

Rules: you can usually tell a lot about a person by the type of music they listen to! put your favorite playlist on shuffle and list the first 10 15 songs, then tag 10 people. no skipping!

(I couldn’t stop at 10 so I added 5 more, sue me)

I have very random music taste and I listen to my music on shuffle alot, so I made a playlist of the ones I like the most (that way I don’t hafta skip 150 songs to get to the one I feel like) so I’m gonna use that one.

1) History of Violence - Theory of a Deadman

Hoo boy starting off light huh?.... Yeah so, I was in the drive thru at Sonic when I first heard this on the radio and was immediately like “holy shit”. Instead of like metaphors and poetic subtlety, it’s just straight up like “here’s a poor abused woman who resorted to murdering her shitty boyfriend/husband cuz she couldn’t take it dum dum dum”. Even though the actual situation is not the same, this song is perfect for getting across the internal issues and turmoil of my character Mikey. Its so perfect I’m even planning to animate something for it...... if I ever get around to learning animation that is.....     

2) The Vengeful One - Disturbed

Two songs in and I look kinda emo.... But hey this song is soooooo cathartic! I love me a good heavy rock song, and the drums and electric guitar are perfect for my ears to absorb. This song gives off a feeling of overwhelming power mixed with a coldness and disdain for the bad in the world. Obviously, thats not my usual temperment, but its an interesting one to explore! Especially when I’m trying to get into the head of characters that exude that like my OCs Spark or Ryu. Plus its fun to sing in the car X)

3) Enter Sandman - Metallica

Okay this one is just a classic! Same thing with the drums and guitar they both slap SOOOOO GOOD. I don’t really associate this song with any of my characters or fandom favorites, but it DOES give me a super strong urge to learn the drums. EXXXXXXXXIT LIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT! OFF TO NEVER NEVERLAND!!

4) We Are Giants - Lindsey Stirling ft. Dia Frampton

I don’t really to listen to music by band or artist, but I LOVE Lindsey Stirling!!! She’s probably my favorite musician! This is such a good song, especially for someone like me. Its a positive song that talks about feeling alone in a crowd and unimportant to the world, but how you really do matter and shouldn’t be afraid to dream big and shoot for the stars. It really speaks to me and the vocalization is so good (especially for singing), not to mention the official music video is animated and AMAZING!

5) Cetus - Lensko NCS

I dunno if anyone knows this song, but damn its good. Its one of those Royalty-Free songs that people look up for their channels, which is how I found it in the first place, but I loved it immediately. Its a peppy 8-bit electronic bop that turns a little Irish jig at the end and honestly I think if I ever start an animation channel I’m totally gonna use it! (Also go support Lensko he make good beats!)

6) Sanctuary - Utada Hikaru

I did not grow up with Kingdom Hearts, and only played KH2 within the past year n’ a half. But good God, the moment that Cinematic Opening came on and this song started playing I swear I astral projected into a daze of feelings without names. I know that “Simple and Clean” is the quintessential Kingdom Heart song that gives everyone feelings, but IMHO Sanctuary blows it out of the water. As beautiful as the animation was, or how curious the occasional backwards lyrics are, or how weird it is having high-res Goofy and Donald in what is essentially an anime opening, I really can’t be distracted from this song when I play.

7) Chemical Plant Zone (Rock Remix) - Zerobadniks

Chemical Plant Song is like, one of the TOP Sonic songs by popular vote (and we know how awesome the Sonic series is musically so thats saying something!), but I could never quite vibe with the normal 8-bit version. I think I first heard this as someone’s ringtone and was immediately like “THATS PERFECT THATS EXACTLY HOW I NEED IT!”. The rock makes the song soooo much better and honestly gives the song the perfect vibe. Unfortunately, it took FOREVER to find cuz none of the Rock Covers of this song were the right one. In fact, tbh, I’m not even sure whether Zerobadniks is the correct artist..... that’s just who everybody was crediting when I found it. 

(imma include the link i found since its a little hard to find: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqJiZEM6aPI )

8) The Wolf - SIAMES

YOU WANNA TALK ABOUT ANIMATED MUSIC VIDEOS???? THIS IS A GOD-TIER ANIMATED MUSIC VIDEO. I found the video first, and seriously, if you haven’t seen it YOU NEED TO!!! The beat works perfectly with the images on screen and the story being portrayed is really intriguing, with the lyrics adding to atmosphere without necessarily describing the visuals shown. Even without the animation, the song itself is a banger. It bring to mind the feeling of intense motion forward, but unable to decide whether its movement TOWARD something or AWAY from something. I love listening to this on a nighttime drive.

9) Burn the House Down - AJR

If you ask me, the best way to make a pop song better is to add either violins or trumpets. For this song, it was definitely the trumpets that first caught my attention, and the rest of the song kept me listening. I don’t really know how to describe the vibe of this song, and I don’t have a specific character or story in mind when I listen to it, so its a little hard for me to talk about it. I think the best way I can describe this song and what draws me to it is a feeling of nonchalant go-with-the-flow attitude to shenaniganry. Almost an undertone of “We’re hooligans in a situation that we probably should get out of, but hey we’ve got life and each other so why worry?” At least that’s the closest I can get to a verbal description heh...

10) Slim Pickens Does the Right Thing and Rides the Bomb to Hell - The Offspring 

DANCE, FUCKER, DANCE, LET THE MOTHERFUCKER BURN!!!

So this also has a KICKASS animated music video, but its technically combined with the song “Dividing by Zero”. Now the video works SO well with both, and the shifting artstyles reflect the differing tones of the songs PERFECTLY. However, I have a preference for both the animation and the song on the Slim Pickens half. Its fun to listen to and sing at the top of your lungs and its SO CATHARTIC. Again I cant really describe what my head does when I hear it, but I think you can probably feel a similar vibe if you watch the music video. 

11) No Heaven - DJ Champion

The first time I finished the original Borderlands, I had been playing for days on end, had just finished a long battle with the Destroyer, and sitting back relieved to have beaten it and reflecting on how much I had enjoyed the adventure. Then this song started playing. For what I believe was forty minutes this song looped on my TV while the credits rolled. By the time the credits finished I was pulling up the song to listen to again! What an absolutely PERFECT cherry to add to this experience. This song perfectly encapsulated the chaotic, trigger-happy, morally ambiguous craziness that I had enjoyed and absorbed in this game. Every time I hear it now, I imagine myself in the wastelands of Pandora, driving haphazardly across the sandy dunes as my companions and I shoot and blow up everything in sight. You know, living the dream.......     

12) Hit & Run (Wolfgang Lohr Remix) -  The Electric Swing Circus

I fucking LOVE electro-swing! The electronic beats and rhythm blend so well with the wild and energetic freedom of swing. A lot of electro-swing gives me a vibe of wild movement, reckless abandon, and freedom from constraint. I think this song melds all of these feelings the best! As the last song might have indicated, despite my general nice and sweet temperament, there is a part of me deep down that is an absolute gremlin secretly enamored with chaos, insanity, and a general disdain for law and authority X). But whereas anything Borderlands related has a more “morality is an illusion blowing shit up is real” air about it, this song is far more peppy. More of a “good-hearted but insane” type of chaos, like an 100mph car chase where you end up sailing over the train tracks JUST as the train passes.

.... I may have gotten a bit off track lol 

13) Kickstart my Heart - Motley Crue

I love this song, but I have to be VERY careful when and where I listen to this. I love songs that make me feel like I’m going a million miles per hour, like I’m gotdam Sonic the Hedgehog. Unfortunately, I may or may not have had multiple instances of listening to this song in the car and abruptly realizing that I’m going like 15mph above the speed limit...... So yeah, regardless of absolutely perfect it feels to play this song while speeding down a nearly empty highway, please be careful and drive responsibly!!!

14) I’m Born to Run - American Authors

Imma just up and say it. This song is a Sonic song; like not like actually from the series but a song for the character. This song encapsulates Sonic as a character better than some of his ACTUAL THEMES (and remember Sonic music are bangers!). Its a song about freedom, living life as it comes, and not letting anything slow you down. Frankly I’m surprised they didn’t make this song FOR the Sonic series, or even the movie! Speaking of which, ironically I heard this song right after watching the Sonic movie in theaters, so yeah there’s no way I can associate it with anything else. 

15) Opa Opa - Antique

Oh, what a PERFECT way to end this list! This may be one of my absolute favorite songs of all time! I don’t remember exactly how I found this song... I think I had just relistened to Dalar Mehndi’s “Tunak Tunak Tun” and was looking for other catchy non-english songs and BOY HOWDY I found one! I know nothing about the band or what the song’s about (its in greek and i dont speak it), but this song is just a masterpiece of retro, pop, and dance sounds. This song feels like the musical and lyrical manifestation of dance and movement. I really REALLY wish I could dance JUST so I can express how happy and free this song makes me feel! This is the BEST song for me to end this list with!
