The games been bot-free for a few months now. At worst I've run into a few closet cheaters.

I won't spend a dime on the game till at least a year has passed, but the game's playable. #FixTF2 did what it needed to. It feels super weird to say, but the game is essentially fixed. You can queue into casual without expecting a lobby full of bots spewing gross and hateful shit in the chat (now its just the bottom scoring scout doing that, though with a significant lack of cheats).

For now I'll be enjoying the game to the fullest.

As if I don’t have enough WIPs, I just thought of another dark story idea during a super hectic day at work 😭😂

I want to write a story about the modelling industry and how dark and scary it can be. So reader would be starting out as a model, and Ari would be either a photographer or her agent or both. And it would be about how innocent she is and how he’d manipulate her and take advantage of her while she continues to fall in love with him because she can’t see how she’s being manipulated and taken advantage of. In my head, I’m picturing this story to be super dark. I always imagine very, very dark stories in my head but I do tone them down when I write them because I don’t want people to be put off but I don’t want to water this down. And I think people would like it. Just a story about a young, innocent girl who gets taken advantage of by the man she relies on to protect her and guide her through the industry. It would be extremely dark and smutty. And I don’t want to give the rest away but what are you guys thoughts on this?

oomph i know i'm definitely really early with this ask (changing time zones for vacation is weird o.O) but I was thinking about it over the past few days

for the lights, camera, sing your sins au, are the interrogations somewhat scripted where the prisoner knows what to say and Es is mostly just reactions or questions to that? I feel like we've talked about this but I have forgotten jandjnf o.O

because all i can think about is Es getting beaten up or close to tears in the first voice dramas and man if it's scripted, i feel bad for the prisoners who have to do this to es o.O

Hi Mug :D No worries, a slightly late reply because I was on vacation too haha! 🍂

And I mean it's whatever works best in people's minds, but I always pictured there being very little scripted, actually! I'd hoped that everything was as natural as possible. The prisoners just have to make the little shift to act as if they did follow through with the murder instead of talk about how close it came -- other than that, everything that happens is the characters' honest questions, answers, and reactions.

When explaining the no-violence ban to everyone, Fuuta and Kazui (and later Amane) tell Jackalope how they would think during their interrogations. Jackalope instructs them all how to act in order to stay consistent with the barriers/losing strength stuff. I think the only explicitly scripted action is Mikoto's violence, since Red admits he may resort to that if Blue felt threatened. Jackalope tells him to get to the point of violence no matter how the interrogation goes, as it's necessary (to proving Mikoto's situation, to driving home the central ideas of Mikoto's case, to reveal Milgram's process and 'limits,' etc).

And yeah, it definitely tears him apart to actually do it -- he has to verify that Es signed up for this several times (which they did), and it still takes a lot of resolve to follow through with hurting an innocent kid like that. I imagine that's one of the reasons he's not really upset that Kotoko surprised everyone by intervening: he felt so guilty about the attack and was grateful someone came in to stop it.

Although it wasn't physical pain, Mahiru is also really upset that she brought Es such emotional strain. She thinks it's cruel to fool them into feeling bad for her when she's okay, and it takes a lot of reassurance from the others to convince her it's for the sake of the experiment -- every part of the process has toyed with everyone's emotions, she's not a terrible person for doing so.

Whether in the middle of the trial or the final executions, I think any characters who die next trial will also feel awful for making Es mourn for them when they're still alive. It's not all one-sided guilt, though. It's balanced by anger/sorrow towards Es for condemning them to death in the first place because of their decisions. Any time they get too caught up in thinking "I'm so cruel for tricking them like this," they have a moment of "well, they did specifically order my death, so..."

When I'm looking for a pure fix-it, I'll let those emotions go pretty easily <3 But unfortunately my writer ass is never free from The Themes asdfsdf and sometimes I still get caught up in the project's major focus -- not only is Es facing the original Milgram dilemma of choosing whether or not to follow authority, but now the prisoners are faced with the exact same decision. Do they physically/mentally hurt this child "for the experiment?" Because someone in authority told them to? They're doing this to prove a point about justice and fairness, but where should they draw the line? At what point is it not for the greater good and they are just causing more harm?

I think I mentioned it before but in this au the prisoners are extremely motivated by the promise that this experiment will help others like them. Yuno wants to make a statement about society's views on abortion and sex work. Muu wants to make a difference for bullying victims. Kazui hopes to be a voice for all those who have had to keep theirs quiet about something. Mikoto hopes his story creates more awareness and acceptance for people who are usually terribly stereotyped and feared. Kotoko wants to bring to light the problem of corruption and what can be done about it, and so on. In the end, they can always justify causing a little emotional/physical harm because they are doing it for a good reason.

One of my favorite things about my job is that our office is actually a semi-stylized cabin, complete with a covered porch. So on days like today, when business is slow and the rain’s coming down, I can stand outside, take some deep breaths, and just enjoy the view for a while.

Moments like this aren’t particularly special, I guess, but they always leave me feeling at peace and happy to be alive, so I cherish them all the same.

the whole one hour and forty minutes of op stampede are worth it even just for that half a second of interaction between mihawk and zoro actually thank you and amen 🙏

The Breaking the Sky Sword Saint watched Yoo Joonghyuk walk away and asked him. "Are you planning to go alone?" "I've always been alone, Master." "But, that path is the one already tread by the other party." His Master's words caused Yoo Joonghyuk's figure to flinch. In the next moment, a voice came out from beyond the walls of the training hall. "Hey Yoo Joonghyuk, where are you?? We gotta get going, now!" With the blinding light behind them, the members of < Kim Dokja's Company > opened the door and rushed inside the dojo. Shin Yoosung, Lee Gilyoung, Lee Jihye, and Han Sooyoung… It was unknown since when they got ready to leave, but regardless, everyone from the Nebula was here. The Breaking the Sky Sword Saint spoke again. "They are precisely your Story now, Joonghyuk-ah." Something that the 'Secretive Plotter' did not possess. Yoo Joonghyuk dazedly looked back at his Master, and she addressed him again. "You don't have to fight alone in this regression turn."

Joonghyuk doesn't have to be alone anymore. 😭

Dokja doesn't have to be alone anymore. 😭

This whole novel is really just “Kim Dokja and Yoo Joonghyuk acquire themselves a found family” and nothing has made me happier.

Or perhaps it's more accurate to say “all of Kim Dokja’s Company acquire themselves a found family” considering we’ve learned that several of the others also didn’t exactly live perfect lives before the scenarios.

Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint, AKA THE POWER OF LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP!

Oh man, and Breaking the Sky Sword Saint pointing out that it’s Joonghyuk’s stories that will make him stronger than Secretive Plotter, and that he needs to find his own path to Transcendence, not try to copy someone who's already walked down that long, lonely road.

(And as we've learned, Secretive Plotter would probably much rather have Joonghyuk's stories filled with loving companions who are still here than his own where all he has left are his own living memories...)

And, whether he believes he’s alone or not, the hard truth is that every Giant Story and almost every smaller story Joonghyuk has has involved at least one of these people. He's not been alone for a very long time in this round. Kim Dokja saw to that.

Oh maaaan but Dokja is going after that final Giant Story and they are going after that final Giant Story and Dokja made a vow of existence that he won’t contact them…

Ughhhh is he gonna have to disguise himself and are they gonna end up fighting? Is this Squid Fight Part II?

Or is this Dokja’s lucky loophole? Technically he didn’t contact them if they just happen to bump into each other in the same place...

Oh man but they’re gonna be ABSOLUTELY FURIOUS if they do find him. They’ve been stressing about him and Joonghyuk has been having freaking nightmares and all three of the of the people Dokja asked to help him are just wallowing in guilt and self-hatred because they failed his first and only request to save him and oh would you look at that it’s Dokja just out and about doing Dokja things with a tiny shoulder Joonghyuk.

They’re gonna kill him.

Just straight up murder the man on the spot.

Have you ever considered to open comms for non-chibi stuff? Love your art btw 🥹🫶🏻

Also voted for [ENTITY] ((idk how you did the text…(´･_･`)

Hi there! Uh, I have considered before yes and actually promoted it once before!

But then I feel like I haven’t reached a level where I can be consistent with non-chibi style, so that’s why I didn’t open for it this time 👉🏻👈🏻

Maybe once I get better at it…I’ll open them…

Not sure about the prices though 😂 i do plan to raise my doodles one in my next commission phases from 2USD to 5USD (now it’s still 2USD ofc)

Rei I had another Sakurei x Suginana date idea 💗 what about an end of summer aqua park adventure? Lots of slides & different types of pools, so you know we won’t run out of things to do + they can come up with silly competitions like who can go down the slide the fastest or who can stay in the extra cold pool the longest 🤭 (also I like your new theme! it’s giving pink rockstar vibes <3333)

Omg Nana I would LOVE this!!! I’m a fish when it comes to swimming and can stay in the water for hours. 🥰

Plus, the two of us can wear the cutest swimsuits and tease the boys all day long. 👀 They’ll be too busy competing and then suddenly look over at us and go damn like 10 times that day.

((Thank youuuu!! 💗))
