#but im sure its happened more than that lol

[tedious-waffle]

Am i the only one that just like :/ with people seemingly wanting the show to go down the *newly out guy pines for his straight best friend* trope. Like i mean i Guess it technically wouldn’t be if eddie does turn out to be queer but likee i aint trusting that to happen lol. And even if that IS the resolution at the end, its still gonna be That plot for at least Some portion of time and im just like. Sooooo uninterested in seeing a 30 something year old man act out a teen crush storyline about The One. Like idk maybe I’m just jaded in a good way but I think there’s definitely more than one The One out there, and it’s more about making it (ahah you don’t find it). So like sure he could make it with eddie but like eddies gotta make it too and so far theres been like Nothing from there?

Plus idk people reading buck saying “I’m not in love with eddie” as him being in love with eddie idk just got some hm (accidental) homophobic vibes. Likes they’re doing the straight-friend-asks-if-you’re-into-him-when-you-come-out-to-them joke but fr lmao

Hello! Are you still doing requests for the drabble game? (If not it's still okay!!)

I've been browsing the milgram tags and I keep seeing your drabbles here and there and I've been so in love with each and single one of them. You characterize them in a way that feels so canon I wish it was actually real. Your stories are such a delight to read!

I'd like to request Lies + Kazui and Yuno, or Kazui with anyone really. He's been a liar through and through and I'd like him to talk with someone about it, and Yuno's the only other prisoner who can truly understand him. Especially with Kazui's trial going on and him leaning guilty, he would be more antsy than usual. (But if there's another scenario you'd like that's totally fine as well ^^) Thanks!

Aww thank you so much, I'm so glad you enjoyed! :D And thank you for the request, these two are so interesting !! I imagine that Kazui can tell from the voices he hears that he's leaning guilty, or at least very close in the middle. Here's him and Yuno, following an instinctual lie that she just can't leave alone...

“I’m doing fine,” Kazui said, perfectly accustomed to lying about himself. He was used to putting on a smile when his insides were yanked into knots. He was used to ignoring signs under the surface for the sake of others. There was one thing he wasn’t prepared for, though, and that was Yuno Kashiki.

“Mmm, no you’re not.” She said matter-of-factly. She braided her hair in a complex pattern, hardly even looking at Kazui. Instead, her eyes stayed fixed on the tiny handheld mirror she’d propped up on the table in front of her.

It wasn’t the first time she’d caught him in one of his lies. She’d been merciful in the past, allowing the group to laugh it off and move on. Now, in private, she seemed much less forgiving. She wasn’t the only one in an unforgiving mood (which, conveniently, brought him back to the root of the problem.)

“What are you doing with your hair?” He peered over from behind. “It looks nice -- what’s the occasion?”

Her voice lilted as she said, “oh, well I’m so glad you asked! I’m celebrating the day that prisoner number seven tried and failed to hide his true feelings from me after I asked him oh-so politely how he was doing!” 

He returned her smile with a pained one. “I’m not hiding anything. I’m doing as well as any other prisoner. Better than most, for that matter.”

She returned to her task. “That’s a pretty low bar.”

“Heh, I guess.”

“So? What’s eating at you?”

“Just annoying young women who can’t leave an old man alone…” 

He thought they could leave it at that. Yuno disagreed. 

“Come on, it’s just us. Be honest.”

After a pause, he furrowed his brow. “Why?” 

Yuno wasn’t the nosy type. She could have probably gone through all three trials without knowing a single thing about the others�� sins. She’d been even more solitary this trial, forgoing the usual gossip and conversation. For some reason, she seemed unmovable on this request.

She caught his gaze through the mirror. He could only see one of her eyes, but from her angle she probably saw most of his face. “Because it hurts, to lie.”

It did. It had hurt for years. Even when his act became second nature, when the words flowed easily and his body moved without pause, the truth was still somewhere deep inside trying to eat him alive. Here in Milgram, he continued to feel its ache. Now, on top of the same old lies, he was trying to play the part of the calm and collected adult. Yuno was right about the bar being low -- the prisoners were in a sorry state. He had to be strong for them. She herself wasn’t doing well; despite the airs she put up, she was struggling just as much. (She wasn’t the only one who could pick up on someone else’s well-worn mask.)

So he couldn’t be honest and falter in front of her, either. Aware that his silence would be equally telling, he asked, “are you speaking from experience?”

“I’m not letting you change the subject,” Yuno pursed her lips, “but I’ll never miss an opportunity to talk about myself.”

She shifted in her chair, now turning away from the mirror to look at Kazui. He was taken aback with how smoothly the confessions spilled from her. “Yes, I know firsthand what it’s like. I know how much it hurts to lie to someone who loves you. I know what it’s like to wait until the last moment to say something, realizing it’s too late, and you’re screwed. I’ve had to cover up my pain in front of others, pretend like it’s all fun and games when it’s clearly not. And most of all, I know what it’s like to be caught in the middle of the warden’s judgment.”

“I don’t know what you mean.” He did. 

Being named guilty is the worst fate for a lot of reasons. The thought of being forgiven, though, felt worse. There was no winning. Just another thing to claw at him from the inside out.

“It hurts, Kazui. I know you feel it. I realized how much all that secrecy tore me apart inside, so I came completely clean to the warden during my interrogation. I thought maybe it could help you, too.”

His expression softened. As much as Yuno wanted to be independent of this whole situation, there was always a part of her that wanted to treat others right. Seeing her intentions were pure, he felt himself relax under her gaze. 

“Telling them the truth… and being forgiven afterwards… will it help this ache, then?” He placed a hand on his chest. It was easier to direct his questions at her, but it was clear he was curious about his own fate. “Do you feel at peace now? Can you forgive yourself?” 

She turned back around. Her eye watched him from the mirror once more. 

“Yes,” she told him, and Kazui knew he wasn’t the only liar here.

blocked some stranger on some randos post because in the replies they said "oh sweet summer child". not to me and they weren't even being condescending i just felt such a primal rage i blacked out. i kinda think if you call other people sweet summer children you should be beheaded in the town square

Oh so we're finally getting into REAL secret of the wilderness now, the REAL reason these women are so fucked up and never could fully open up to anyone else in order to heal. Misty didn't kill Jessica Roberts to keep the secret of tragic but understandable survival cannibalism, it was because they 1) killed these random people for walking in at the wrong time on their trauma-induced insanity ritualistic cannibal society who 2) could have led to their rescue a full extra winter before we know they actually get out 🤯🤯🤯

[puhpandas]

ideal ggy reveal for me right now is some sort of game whatever format theyd use (for example sb vs hw is very different storytelling) about vanny killing dr rabbit and it leads up to the beginning of sb at the end

[xianzhoualliance]

hummmm i looked around a bit and i guess it just depends on how u interpret their actions…?

[skitskatdacat63]

Maybe in another life :)

AU in which Eclipse still isn't the heir, that's never gonna be a possibility ever, but her mother realizes she can still politik her marriage regardless. Makes this crazy play at Noir, from the other hugely influential family on the planet(whose family does not engage in politicking in this particular way at all.) But Noir is like, why not! Wife acquired! And then they kill her mom or something idk–

dip pen ink comm second round for in order R. Burry, @sega-bass-kissing, and Solaris

[friendlylocalrobot]

hiii so i'm pretty sure i'm a robotkin, can i just ask ya how you confirmed you're one? what resources ya used to confirm your identity, anything like that?

im not entirely sure how i confirmed it tbh my brain just went 'So youre a robot now' and i went with it. this strategy is not very helpful at all though

i guess like part of it was how i tended to appear in my little maladaptive daydreaming land. like 99% of the time for the past 4 years i have been a robot and only recently have i been a zombie its more like a 50/50 ratio of zombie to robot now

anyways it got me thinking about Why i needed to see myself as a robot so bad and at some point i didnt even need to ask myself . like i was just a robot

[gifti3]

I still think obey me would have had an easier time writing better characters if they had actual routes (includes harem route) and better story segment to rhythm game ratios

good sister has been extra vigilant of me now that im the last one sick

I will continue being gone for a few days, sadly my original al plan of releasing the newest chapter of The Consequence Of Imagination's Fear has also been delayed. My apologies

Can't go into detail because its hush hush not-legally-mentionable stuff but today is my fifth 12 hour no-break work day. I'm also packing to move too in a fortnight (which is a Big Yahoo!! Yippee!! I'll finally have access to a kitchen!! And no more mold others keep growing!!! So exciting!!!)

[shleemies]

Got promoted at work today! I knew they had their eyes on me for a promotion but the circumstances were kind of unfortunate. My coworker with the position found out that the raise was less than she thought, and that's after they screwed up her payroll big-time last week and only paid her for 2 days. So she's transferring back to our old store as an associate bc it's closer to her house and honestly an easier store to work at. So my manager came up to me right after they talked and was like you're getting promoted btw I was like oh okay 👍. And to be fair the raise is kinda shit lol it's 30¢. But to my knowledge it's more or less the work I'm doing anyways. I've never gotten a promotion or a raise before so I'm pretty happy about that. I've only had shitty bosses promise me raises for months and never follow through. And I know they've been wanting to promote me already bc all the higher ups I've worked with really like me and recognize that I work hard. I had a coworker 2 days ago ask if I was a manager because she said I had that vibe about me LOL. I was like no I'm just some guy. Still not a manager but I am a shift lead. Still so worried I'm going to burn out but uhhhh I'm doing well at this point 👍
