#but it’s fun to think about :)

mods I would make for The Long Dark if 1. that game were more amenable to modding and 2. I were a more skilled modder:

- indoor locations with fire barrels but no chimney (Quonset Garage, Carter Hydro Dam, Hibernia Processing) give the affliction Carbon Monoxide Poisoning if you burn fires there for too long. You hear phantom wolf howls, moose bellows, sparking electronics. Your vision gets blurry. Cure is fresh air for a significant amount of time—sort of like Cabin Fever

- Effectiveness of medicine is chance-based. Manmade medicines in good condition are highly effective, but as their condition deteriorates, their chances of successfully curing an ailment decline. Natural remedies have a fixed ~75% chance to cure your ailment, so you might have to use more than one to get the benefit—but a fresh cup of reishi tea will still be a better bet than a bottle of 7% condition antibiotics. Gives players a reason to keep some antiseptic around instead of solely wrapping their infected wounds in lichen

- some kind of Wolf Fear setting that makes wolves flee from you 95% of the time, but still (rarely) stalk/attack. Bear, Timberwolf, and Moose aggression is unchanged. You still need to be wary while trekking through the woods, but wolves no longer provide a predictable source of food and pelts by throwing themselves at you constantly.

- Add a tiny chance that the bunny bites you while you’re staring into its eyes trying to decide whether or not to snap its neck. Minor affliction, minor damage to gloves. Major justice for bunny.

- lighting a campfire directly on the ice slowly weakens the ice around the fire. You will fall through if you stick around for too long. Does not affect the stoves in fishing huts—there’s enough space and insulation between the fire and the ice below for this not to be a problem.

- make more skill books spawn in the Nomad challenge. Like, 2x the number of skill books that normally spawn on a Pilgrim game. Give your character something to do while sitting around

- remove headache affliction from eating the “sweet” pies and instead apply the headache affliction when the player chugs an entire bottle of maple syrup in one go. Status message reads: Why did you do that?

- re-remove the pork from the pork n beans and add pork to the ingredients list of all other canned goods

- change the Escape the Darkwalker challenge so that everything stays the same except the noises the Darkwalker makes are all fart sounds now

- change the Timberwolf growls to be recordings of dudes yelling. Just a bunch of “HEY. HEY. HEY YOU. YEAH YOU. YOU FUCKED UP. HEY. HEY FUCKER. HEY.”

- when the Aurora comes around, the computer inside the Milton Post Office boots up and somehow, Milton Library Assistant is there. He questions the player’s choices and discusses whether morality exists in the Quiet Apocalypse: “Do you find that you enjoy this lonely existence? Aren’t things so much less complicated now? Do you revel in having an excuse to be completely, thoroughly selfish for once—now that everyone you know and love is dead? How does that make you feel?”

The great thing about not having any photos of me or any pronouns in my bio is you can just imagine me as looking like whatever you find most attractive.

Am I a bimbo with a sultry voice and hypno-tits?

Am I someone who’s so calm and in control, in a put together outfit hiding the need for you to obey me underneath?

Maybe my eyes really do spiral in real life…

Andrew Minyard gives me Sherlock Holmes vibes. Like he has the same kind of deduction skills and many of the same characters; the only difference is that Andrew doesn’t use them unless absolutely necessary. He’s not flashy about it the way Sherlock is. It’s Andrew’s greatest weapon, so he keeps it hidden. It’s why he’s always bored. It’s why Neil was so so interesting. It’s why he makes deals and promises but can’t form proper connections. Except for Neil Josten. The exception to all of Andrew’s rules.

I believe that throwing one big fit would cure all my problems

Bag ideas but One Piece inspired- you can tell who my favourites are….

//I’ll add to this as I make more but this is the plan

[callsign-relic]

ehehehe

if megatronus is huge even compared to D-16…

and the beast wars bots are human sized

they’d teeny tiny to the primes

I’m willing to bet that Hels!Jellie is a tiger or panther.

If you don’t pay Scar his “tolls” you can become her new scratching post!

yknow what, this is a fascinating concept. normally i’d say that an animal couldn’t have a hels, bc animals in minecraft don’t really have souls like a player does. they spawn into existence on one world, and despawn/die on that world, never to respawn again.

jellie, however, reoccurs on every world that scar joins. realistically yes, he’s just taming a random identical cat every time and calling it jellie. but if you wanted to suspend disbelief a little, you could say that jellie is a consciousness that can persist between worlds so long as she finds a fitting avatar to inhabit and a scar to tame her. and in that instance, why NOT have a hels?

suffice to say, if hels!jellie is a thing, she would absolutely be some sort of big cat that badtimes has only tamed in the loosest sense of the word. i’m sure the majority of his scars came from her but he’d never admit it.

What if part of Korn’s scheming was ensuring Kim and Chay end up together? Just like he’s the one who pushed Kinn to make Porsche his body guard, he leaves behind just enough of a trail to drive Kim straight into Chay’s loving arms. Gave Mim enough of a lead on Chay’s location that he got there before anyone else to play the part of the hero. Making sure that should anything happen to Kinn and Porsche, he has another set of heirs already lined up to take over the Major and Minor families in their stead.

fuck it’s so hot that working out 4-5 times a week isn’t enough to counteract your gluttony

Isn’t it? Trying in vain to counteract the thousands of extra calories being pumped into my fattened body, but despite my best efforts my workout clothes just won’t stop getting tighter

I wonder how Ed felt when he realized he hadn’t killed Lucius

Like that was the second person ever he would have killed besides his dad. That must have fucked with him so severely and I just can’t help but wonder what emotions rolled through him when he found out Lucius survived.

The amount of relief and guilt he must have felt especially when he got to see how Lucius is now. I wonder if that’s why he was so willing to let Lucius get back at him despite his apparent aloof attitude.

An older Leo Valdez gets really into welding specifically, because he discovers he can use his fingertips to do so. It’s a task that he can focus on and be meticulous about without it numbing his mind after only a half hour. It's something he looks forward to improving on, different from the ADHD mindless tinkering that usually just subconsciously comes together perfectly when he builds.

This new skill allows him to build more sturdy machines, and he can try out and develop new techniques to fit each build. He picks up welding gigs and side-jobs (because good welders actually make bank) as he travels the world with Calypso.

(And really, would you think Leo and Calypso of all people would be the kind to settle down? Leo likes exploring when he’s not all alone, and Calypso hasn’t seen the world in centuries.)

Another one of his goals is to, at some point, get a diving license and try his hand at underwater welding (which pays huge amounts of cash money). But before he even considers it, he forces himself to iris message Percy and ask if a demigod who isn’t a child of Poseidon would get swarmed by an oceanic swim team of monsters down in the sea. It’s a mixed answer, and Percy gives him a few tips. It’s hard talking to Percy sometimes, what with his girlfriend’s opinion on him, but Percy makes it pretty hard to hate him when he’s just an all-around great dude.

Calypso, being a sorceress, can manipulate the mist well enough (it’s not really her expertise, but she figures it out). So before each job of his, she’ll make it look like he’s using actual tools instead of his hands. She usually has to stay home the days he works to conserve energy to keep up the illusion, but it’s worth a day of inactivity because with the money they make, plus their savings, he really only has to work maybe a few times a week. (They don’t need tons of money or stuff to be happy when they have each other. They’ve always been “I could just make that myself” type of people.) Calypso likes to be busy, but since she can’t really get a job that requires identification (this chick prob doesn’t have a ssn or nothin) she often finds herself helping at soup kitchens and homeless shelters.

(Also, kind of unrelated, but I imagine them to be a camper/trailer type of couple. Driving around, traveling, cooking really good food, and building machines together out of the back of their well-loved pickup truck for fun and extra cash. There are rows and rows of garden boxes on the top of the trailer, and plant pots everywhere in the trailer secured down by Leo so they don’t fall.)

How are you guys I’m making a flow chart of all the pikmin types and what colors and names their hybrids might be.

Here are my current findings:

I might draw some of these at a later date.

if we ever somehow got create a world for sims 4 I think my soul could finally rest

Lowkey tempted to do a some quick doodles of Splæt characters as DnD classes, but also including a lot of the third party/homebrew my group has (COFSA, Welcome to Sear, Blazing Dawn, YGY Witches, Pugilist, etc.) so it’s 90% self indulgent with no guarantee you could play them in something like Adventurer’s League or a stricter table.

[vexing-imogen]

I’m going to indulge myself with some rampant speculation, and pose the theory that Liliana is possessed by one of the Reilora. Maybe an Exaltant’s powers comes from a direct tether to one of the Reilora, which is why some of them can summon them. Could explain why her end goal is “freedom”. Maybe breaking the cage frees them along with Predathos. Maybe she’s been possessed for years. Maybe the only real part of Liliana that’s left was her voice in Imogen’s dreams telling her to run

honestly sometimes i like to imagine novel wwx as an unreliable narrator who actively lies to the reader just bc to me that bridges the discrepancy between the events of his life (especially pre-resurrection) and his reflection on them/the way he views them. this wouldn’t even be a huge step for mxtx bc i’ve always viewed xie lian as an unreliable narrator who actively omits information from the reader. the latter is pretty in line with xie lian’s characterization as a secretive person with a complicated past and the former is imo in line with wwx’s characterization as both a person who tends to deflect/redirect a lot and who doesn’t like to dwell on the past
