"Manic Episode" GN BOT! Reader + Red Alert, Skyfire, Starscream, Thundercracker

Summary: You're having a manic episode.

Warnings: Symptoms of mental illness? (Written by a mentally ill person)

Genere/Theme: Platonic

G1 characters: Red alert, Skyfire, Starscream, Thundercracker.

Notes: This is based on my own personal experience with my own manic episodes.

Pronouns: You, you, yours.

Red alert almost shorts a circuit when he walks into the cafeteria at three a.m., expecting it to be empty only to almost walk right into you. He yells a bit in shock then realizes it's you- but he's cautious- because why in Primus's name are you here now of all times? You bluntly end up snapping you were, in your own words, "glitched" and "having a manic episode." That's why you were there... apparently. Red alerts only up because his sensors were acting up, so he's, of course, suspicious of that fact. But you just nod and go back to your- whatever manic late night business and Red alert goes on his own business too. With a note to keep an optic out for you...

Eventually, you run into each other, or he even just sees you up enough times randomly late at night that Red Alerts processor starts registering it as normal. Also, the nights he happened to see up you late were the next days after he'd see you visibly exhausted. So the facts certainly line up at least. So he eventually accepts it as the plausible fact of what you're doing without alternative motives. At that point, he'll be asking you if you've seen anyone else up or if it's just you. Yeah, see, now he's using you to help satiate his own stress. With Red Alert is like mental illness + mental illness the way he's working you and making you look over shit for his own stress episodes. You both have your respective mental episodes, but at least you're doing it together in a crossover episode.

Red alert usually relieves whoevers on watch the nights he's up, and soon enough, he starts inviting you to help him keep watch because you know what's normal at night in the ark now. Depending on whose actually supposed to be on watch, they might just stick around and be the third to your mentally ill duo. (Bluestreak, Trailbreaker, or Inferno) regardless it's either you and him or whoever decides to be third person at four am talking about the cameras and anything else that catches someone's intrigue. (Inferno's usually the only one who'll stay until you both leave yourselves, though.) At least the manic nights weren't as empty, and you had fewer chances for the lows to catch up with you.

Prowl usually walks in seeing you both (or three) and is immediately telling you both hes comming Ratchet that you've both pulled an all-nighter. You're out the door before Red Alert is even out of his chair, but Red alerts not fair behind cursing and ducking under Prowls door wing on the way out.

-

Skyfire does late nights, too, but not to the unhealthy degree you will. He only sees you at night because of this, and he eventually sees you too much and gently asks if you have trouble sleeping. You end up bluntly admitting to being in the middle of a manic episode, and Skyfire suddenly understands why you seemed a touch more- eccentric. But Skyfire can't help trying to help you since he's used to helping in these scenarios. Starscream used to get episodes like this, so he's aware aware and has a few different plans in his proccessor.

Skyfire is he real one and the absolute best you'll get at the ark. He's also the only one at the ark who knows it's not just the highs but the lows, so he's got you fully covered. He'll ask if you need something to do and like he expects, you accept. So he has you do lower effort but still working tasks. Help him sort these datapads, help him review this for errors, help him move some of the equipment to Wheeljacks lab. Skyfire also knows how to get a manic episode to maybe settle so he coaxes you into sitting at his desk to share a cube and talk as a "break". Skyfire leans against his desk and talks with you nothing serious just to get you going. You eventually start slowly crashing having been forced to slow down. And Skyfire watches you wind down more and more. You close your optics where your leaned against his desk, but Skyfire keeps talking about nothing and everything. Very aware you could jolt back awake if you didn't enter recharge all the way yet.

Skyfire eventually pauses and waits for a response from you. Hearing none, Skyfire lets you recharge in peace and heads for recharge himself. For Starscream, it was rarely one day and done, so he knows you'll probably be the same the day after. So he comms Hoist to talk with you at least the morning after. Starscreams episodes weren't typically triggered randomly, so Skyfire can only imagine something has set you off.

-

Starscream is a fucking disastrous combo to also have a manic episode with. Especially when hes more than likely only awake because he's having his own manic episode. This is like somehow accidentally syncing your menstrual cycle with your high-school bully. You meet in the nemesis hallway in the dead of night and get into a verbal argument which quickly leads to a physical one. It either escalates till you exhaust each other or Soundwave or Primus forbid Megatron has to get out of recharge to break you up. But regardless it ends with you both bleeding energon, injured, and scuffed in the otherwise empty canteen. Your both sitting next to each other drinking energon. Which is either the best it could be or the worst it could be. It's either early enough in the next solar cycle the energon dispenser has refreshed itself. So the energons as clean as it would get. Or it's not late enough so your stuck drinking the energon equivalent of almost straight coffee grounds. But you both drink it regardless because your fuel tanks were empty.

Neither of you talk or even look at one another. You just drink your energon. And for the first time since Starscreams been trapped on this mud ball, he feels- some sort of peace. You wouldn't be able to torture that out of him, but it's something he recognizes, at least. So Starscream starts searching you out for stress relief when he can see the signs of your own manic episode peaking out. Which is you just beating the slag out of each other till you're exhausted enough to crash from your respective mania.

Eventually, he ends up commanding you to come with him and "Make your useless self busy!" Starscream is working you in his lab now when he's manic or you both are. This leads to you still verbally yelling at one another and only occasionally physically fighting. Surprisingly. But what? You don't know what the frag you're doing!? Dumbaft! You're copying his results from one datapad to another. Sort these slagging datapads! He'll make you his damn Turborat if need be.

Most manic nights now usually end with you crashed out on his laboratory floor. Starscream sees your unbothered uncreased recharge expression, and Starscream wants to kill you for it. Teach you a lesson in letting your guard down around a con, let alone him. But Starscream just scoffs every time and goes back to his other projects. He was too slagging tired to put in the effort right now anyway. Starscream usually passes out at his table when he crashes, and you're always gone by the time he comes back out of recharge anyway. He couldn't be bothered to track you down and properly put you down for it the next cycle, either.

-

Thundercracker almost hits you with his wing when he whips around hearing you up now of all times. You're by the wall, keeping busy with your hands with something, and you just barely give him a glance when you see him. You just arch an optical ridge and return to your task. And Thundercracker almost turns and leaves with you having seen him. They weren't exactly permitted for late night flights, but Thundercracker hadn't been caught- until you. But he's above you in ranking technically, so he just turns and continues his way to the flight exit of the nemesis. He sees you in the same spot when he comes back and prepares for you to squeal to someone. Soundwave, Starscream or heaven forbid Megatron.

So he waits the next couple of solar cycles, and you just- don't say anything. Thundercracker hasn't been reprimanded or punished. So now he's suspicious. What slag do you want from him? Thundercrackers bluntly asking you as much the next time you catch him going to the flight deck late. You just seemed to think for a moment and asked for something to do. To keep you busy. You couldn't recharge no matter what so you'd rather be busy then not. Which- was something. If you're a flyer Thundercracker just scoffed before dragging you out with him on his own late night flight- you wanted to do something he'd use you to help him run through flight practices. Which sucks, Thundercrackers still stand offish as ever regardless, but it's something to do with your energy.

If you're a grounder, he's stuck with his optic ridge furrowed in thought. Thundercracker eventually snaps out of it and tells you how you can't be demanding him for anything in the first place as a spark damned grounder and turns to continue to the flight deck. He only stops when you say, How if that's true he won't mind if you let slip you saw him to Soundwave. Thundercracker grits his denta and marches back to you. Fine, you want something to do?! He pulls a datapad out of his subspace and jabs it into your chassis and demands you sort every file in order by how important it was and clear out any files that were older than an earth month. With that, Thundercracker turns without looking at your expression and goes on his night flight.

He comes back and finds you waiting and already holding the datapad back out to him and demanding another task. So Thundercracker starts saving the bit of easy, busy paperwork he has for you to do. You end up arguing with each other every time, but slowly, the insults get less heated. Then, one night, Thundercrackers pissed as can be because Skywarp pranked Astrotrain, and Thundercracker was the one who suffered for it! Thundercracker snaps and starts ranting about Skywarp before he even takes you flying/gives you his datapad, and you just listen- and then you start actually talking to each other after that. And it's- very undecepticon, but Thundercracker starts liking it. And he eventually finds he actually likes it a lot. He likes talking with you now- Thundercracker likes spending time with you.

Thundercracker starts actually looking forward to your little late night flies and / or talks. He'll eventually take you for a non combative flight or let you review something a bit more important than his paperwork...

TELL US MORE ABOUT YOUR NINPO LEE!!!!! LEE!!!! JUMPING UP AND DOWN THROUGH THE CROWD

OKAY SO. let's first of all ignore the inaccuracies of the nervous system, it's JUST for a general idea. But anyway let's go-

NINPŌ, it's this ancient mystic power that derives from the Hamato Clan and yadda yadda boring stuff Hamato essence, it's passed down and it gives us SUPER cool powers. Now, when it comes to my ninpō it feels like an electric flame in the center of my chest, i haven't always felt it but Mikey says that he's always felt it since he was a kid. Mikey's always had a talent for this stuff though so it wasn't suprising to hear that.

Now the best way I can describe the way ninpō feels is that it feels like little static bites that travel through your nervous system in quick sparks, it's not a bad feeling, it's similar to the feeling of adrenaline where it gets your heart pumping and makes you feel way stronger or faster.

When I use my ninpō I see differently.

Picture this, your normal environment with all the pretty colors, but you want to move from point A to point C quickly. In that moment, everything inverts and then focuses into a stream of blues and whites, it's hard to see BUT you can make out the blur of the environment around you. You aren't really physically there anymore but at the same time you are. It's like a different plain of existence.

The only thing you can CLEARLY see is the katana you threw that is burning way brighter than anything else, problem is that it's also sorta phasing in and out so you have to focus really really hard, reach out and grab it.

And once you get your hands on the handle, everything flashes around you and it feels REALLY hot for a second but now you're at point C and even though it felt like a minute or so it only took a second.

It feels like phasing through a wall in a video game or glitching out of bounds. SUPER weird and leaves you buzzed once you stop using it. But yeah! That's how that works- for ME.

Slicing portals feels like slicing through paper no matter where I do it or on the material i'm slicing into. It's a lot of bending reality, I guess! Literally ripping apart atoms to make a portal and then using it like a gateway to get where I want to go. Speaking of where I want to go, I need to have a precise location in mind before I leap through a portal, or i'll end up at a random coordinate or dimension altogether.

In this case, think about minecraft, you can't really teleport to where you want to go unless you have the x, y and z coordinates. It's something like that. Lets say, for example, I'm in my room but I want to slice a portal to get into Donnie's lab which is all the way across the lair. I have to envision where I want to come in from, and land at or else i'll end up somewhere else entirely or somewhere in the general area but not exactly where I wanted to be.

It mostly makes sense to me which is why i'm so good at using it but to someone who doesn't have it, it sounds WAY harder than it actually is. It's just alot of focusing.

Hey can you do more uh...self aware cookie run au with anxious reader? Just I can't help but imagine more scenarios of y/n being anxious and thinking 'OH MY GOD IM GONNA DIE!' Buuut end up spoiled by cookies. Here are some examples I thought up but if you think of anymore cute and fun things, I'd love to see em too!

Y/n goes to the hollyberry kingdom and meets pitaya. Thinks they are gonna die to dragon...nope, dragon just wants to encourage y/n to make smores or roast jelly dogs over their flames and if a single one of the cookies who sabotage the competition even think for a SECOND about interrupting that, then they got another thing coming!

Y/n thinks they are gonna die to the licorice sea or the traitor affogato cookie when encountering them....sea acts kind to y/n somehow (or just ignores em...your choice lol) and affogato just wants to spoil y/n with sweets! (Bonus: instead of joining the COD....they go with y/n as something along the lines of 'you know what? I don't want to take over this kingdom anymore. I don't want it anymore, I want y/n! King, I admit to everything, please banish me so I can run away to y/n's kingdom!') Lmao!

Golden cheese kingdom...y/n goes in, thinking glitches are gonna kill em buuuut all the digital cookies make sure y/n is feeling safe, happy, and comfortable....aaaand golden cheese gives em lots of hugs lol! Can imagine being wrapped up in her wings feels really good!

Enjoy the milkshake! I had to give an excuse for writing about affogato cookie- I mean, the dude caused me brain rot. Also I’m not writing any golden cheese stuff because smoked cheese massacred my team and I’m angry at that (my team had way more power than smoked cheese)

Somewhat plot relevant?

-platonic self aware au-

Normally you had means of controlling your anxiety but at this moment, there was no way you could control your anxiety. You were in the middle of a forest! And not even one in your own world! It was one in the game you had recently just gotten into!

You were only on episode 4 in the story mode so you literally had no clue where you were. You just sat on the ground and started to silently panic.

But at some point a cookie you did see once in the cookie unlock screen kinda picked you up and just took you to a palace? You don’t really remember what the cookie said but they weren’t hurting you! So that must mean something!

But you were now having a feast in this palace with a cookie who you learned was actually a dragon- well anyways the dragon said they were Pitaya Dragon, also known as The Red Dragon. You did panic for a moment before Pitaya told you to just chill out and have something to eat.

And you know what? It was actually quite fun! The Red Dragon talked about other dragons and nice fun stories while the two of you ate, you were sad to go but you had too. You got some berries and stuff you could sell as a wondering traveler. Though you did tell Pitaya you’d come back one day so might want to stay close

——————

You had gone from a warm and humid forest to a frozen wasteland. What’s more to say? You had everything you needed to survive and villages were quite nice to you, you had your own gear so you didn’t bother them too much.

But you did befriend a peculiar cookie when you were by the Dark Cacao kingdom…

A cookie who looked quite lavish found you and seemed a little lost and panicked… kinda how you were when you first got here…. You felt bad to the cookie so you went to talk to them

Apparently his name is Affogato Cookie and he was banished from the Dark Cacao kingdom on the grounds of the false accusations of him trying to upstage the king. Poor guy…

Now since Pitaya Dragon was so generous to you when you had nothing so you decided to help Affogato get back in his feet since you should be passing on others kindness!

What you didn’t know was that one Affogato lied to you, two Affogato had connections to Dark Enchantress and three, he would become your travel buddy. So now the two of you travel around as friends :3

Hey can someone tell me why the new after ending for Scarlet Rain is making me like the umbrella man?

Fr tho, his smile fading and then him just disappearing if you tell him to leave actually made me feel bad. It also made me realize he probably doesn't know how to show 'affection' other than getting really close into your personal space and asking for your name because people can't fucking touch him.

I know this is probably obvious, especially for long time Mr Scarletella fans out there but my two braincells finally generated enough electricity to comprehend just how perfectly it explains his behavior.

... I guess I'll cut it here. More yapping (so much yapping) under the moss if you want to hear me rambling about how silly umbrella man operates and silly umbrella man being soft.

You can tell how over the moon he is if you tell him you like/love him because of the wall of red text that covers your screen but then the screen turns red. Does that imply we died? No, I think he tried to teleport behind us but ran into us instead.

Is there evidence to back up that theory? No. But hear me out. We know hitting him with a crowbar doesn't work and that he can glitch in and out of different places. He pulls us in with his umbrella and the only other time we directly 'touch' is in the Scarletella ending where we pick up the white/transparent umbrella and that ending seems to imply we did end up getting our soul taken by the umbrella man.

My theory is he can only be touched if he's obtained someone's soul which is another reason why he's so desperate for our name. This is most likely something he had to figure out himself because it's not specified in the rumor abt him so therefore it's probably among the many things he forgot when we damaged his umbrella. Even if he did remember, there's no way for him to know it works the other way around as well.

So imagine his shock when he smacks into you.

Imagine what comes after that! Would you hold on to him to keep both of you from falling? Would you laugh at the dumbfounded look on his face? An error has occurred, please open and close your umbrella to reboot.

"You. Happy?" He'd ask.

Just smile and place a hand on his cheek. His eyes will (somehow) widen even more before closing as he leans into your touch and rubs his cheek against your palm. You can try to pull your hand away but he'd hold it in place, his grip almost too tight.

"Your. Hand. Me. Like."

Use your other hand to pull his head closer so that your foreheads are touching, eventually he'll end up fully resting his head on your shoulder. Take both of his hands and wrap them around yourself, teach him that this is called a 'hug' and it's something only people who like each other can do.

"Ha— Hua— Haug." he'll struggle to form the word but he'll get it eventually.

Usually the bodies he can touch are either dead or trying to run away or attack him even if they've given him their name (rude!). He's never had someone hold him so gently, he'll be at a loss as to how to return the gesture. So he just does what he always does and mutters. "Like. You." over and over again while almost squeezing the daylights out of you.

He'd stay like that forever if you let him. It's only when you tell him it's time to go home that he pries himself off of you. But please don't let go of his hand. He wants to hold it as the two of you walk home. He doesn't remember anything prior to you naming him but that doesn't matter. Not when your hand, so small yet so warm and soft, is holding his. Surely someone who touches him so gently couldn't be bad.

Even if you are, so what? He loves you. Bloody raincoat and all. He's decided. From the moment he laid eyes on you, you've captured his heart. He's yours and you're his. Forever and ever. Not even death can do you apart. Not if he has anything to say about it.

I read you quite often too, and personally I watched MH after Homestuck (let me tell you about...). And I liked the Brim couple, with similar dynamics of relationships as JohnDave, and And as it turned out at the same "end of their communication" . Just like in HS Dave just seemed to forget about the existence of his BEST FRIEND, so here Tim forgot about his BEST FRIEND. And in fact I feel offended, like doubly offended, I can't understand how you can forget something so important.

Tim was a loner, he had no one and nothing (except his mom and daddy long legs, but that's not positive), Brian gave him a lot of good time and even because of amnesia, I don't believe that everything will be forgotten, like best friends are when you have a lot of things, drawings, even clothes, from your friend, this is practically your partner.

And with Dave (like Tim) and John (like Brian) the situation is similar. Dave has no family, only his older brother, who under the influence of the talisman doll made Dave's life hell, constant injuries, hunger, self-loathing and fear of others...in general, he is traumatized enough, and John, his pen pal, became that ray of hope that gave him the strength not to give up. And as friends they also exchanged gifts, Dave's iconic glasses are John's GIFT, and Dave, no matter what kind of damage or fall he gets, he will first of all worry about the integrity of the glasses, so you understand their connection?

And now to what I can't stand, after they entered the game and many actions they are forcibly separated for three years, and here's a surprise, Dave abruptly and without reason stops communicating, yes they are in a difficult situation, but then, when they reach the end, when they see each other without the pressure of threats... nothing, there is no long-awaited reunion, it's like they FORGOT each other...

And why did I connect this, the joke is that after the main events, John ended up in isolation and he slowly got worse and worse, like Brian, and Dave lived an ordinary life forgetting about his best friend like Tim, and I really can't understand how you can forget such an important thing that took up all your time and was VERY important for both of them personally. Even because of the amnesia, but damn, he remembered the hospital, he remembered his entire backstory, he doesn't forget EVERYTHING, it couldn't be that Brian was completely forgotten, and i PERSONALLY think that Tim would not have accepted his friend's removal so easily with his life, it seems to me that he would have clung to the opportunity to get him back. And even knowing that the operator is threatening, I don't think Tim would doesn't care about his friend's health, like Brian LEFT his house and lived in abandoned buildings... it's uugh, i can't when my sweet buns suffer...

Thanks if you read this, but I really wanted to get it out and sorry for the mistakes English is not my native language, so...We like you!

See that's the thing with Tim and his own memory loss. He has another person in his brain altering and blocking memories from him without him wanting to.

He doesn't forget Brian entirely, he wants to see him again, he wants to be with him, he wants to know where he is, but he's not being allowed to by the things around him.

When he's chasing Hoody in entry 83, Brian's face is blocked from his and ours vision TWICE. He takes off the mask and all he sees is a white glitch. TWICE. he's purposely being mislead into thinking this is a STRANGER so he'd leave him for dead.

Masky Is the one who actively worked with Brian/Hoody. Masky knows who's under the mask. Tim doesn't. And he doesn't want to admit to himself that he ever wore the mask in the first place because THAT'S NOT HIM. The moment he knows that it was Brian, he's DEVASTED.

He loves the Brian he remembers, he misses the Brian he remembers, but .. he's powerless in this situation. And Brian knows this as well, he never holds it against him.

[yakumtsaki]

Spice and Cyan are the last cousin-fuckers left standing and are proving impossible to break up. I'm inclined to blame the fact Sugar and June also had the hots for each other and passed these destructive genes on to these losers but whatever it is they're just annoyingly into each other.

Now I'm not gonna lie, I did almost waver cause I was like 'man you know what they're second cousins so at the end of the day truly who cares, maybe I should just let them stay together and create one Union super-bebe'.. and then I see this:

In case you can't tell from this amazing screenshot they have ONE BOLT. ONE. ALL THIS DRAMA OVER ONE BOLT ARE YOU KIDDING ME

-What is drama compared to someone you almost desire? -Oh baby, the mediocrity of my passion for you is too much to bear!

-This lukewarm hot tub water is the perfect metaphor for our love.. -Exactly, it's the water of the womb and we all know that's where that sole bolt is even coming from!

UGH. Also man the difference between your noses is UNREAL, now I'm more worried about that if you procreate than the incest.

-Hahahaha, as expected I'm the only one of this trash family that's in a non-disgusting relationship!

Felina no offense but you could afford to add some drama cause you've become boring af.

-People are sick of all this perverted nonsense! They want someone dignified and happily monogamous!

Ya idk sis, I mean look at Barth dislocating his entire spine as we speak:

-I SENSE BETRAYAL AGAIN. WHO DARES CHEAT ON ME NOW

-JIMMY, BACK IN THE ARMS OF MY COUSIN THAT I RIGHTFULLY STOLE YOU FROM. AND TO THINK I WAS GONNA MARRY YOU WHEN I WON THE HEIRSHIP

-You were??

-OF COURSE NOT

Bro I can't, the entire house hates Barth other than Meadow and her billion nice points and Spice who is his childhood bestie. Note that he and Sunset have that goddamn amour fou and are independently becoming un-enemies, which I'm NOT GONNA LET HAPPEN.

-Ok Barth, let's get drunk and make some reckless and sexy decisions!

SUNSET GODDAMMIT IT

-Why do you keep cockblocking us? You know our kids would be hot!

I DONT CARE

-Ya right! Don't act like you haven't thought about it!

IM NOT LISTENING TO THIS

-You know we would produce a hot, psycho turbo-Union! A little Jojo or Jojette, untainted by non-Union DNA, one freakshow to rule them all!! Look into your heart, you know it to be true!!!

ENOUGH, STOP TRYING TO SEDUCE ME WITH THE PROMISE OF COMICALLY INSANE OFFSPRING, SUNSET. EVERYONE FUCK OFF TO BED RIGHT NOW, GOODNIGHT

-AND GOOD MORNING, LOSERS

WTF. Why are you here we've paid our bills!

-BUT YOU HAVEN'T PAID THE INCEST TAX

-OMG THERE'S A FIRE🌞

-OMG THE REPOMAN IS HERE TO TAKE OUR SHIT

-OMG THE STREAKER KILLED OUR FISH

What??

-I JUST DON'T WANNA ADMIT IM STILL CRYING OVER BARTHOLOMEW

NOOOO NOT OUR BEAR STATUE WE'VE HAD IT SINCE GENERATION 1! PLEASE JUST TAKE ONE OF THE KIDS INSTEAD

-YOU SHOULD HAVE PAID YOUR BILLS

WE FUCKING DID

-PLEASURE DOING BUSINESS WITH YOU FLOPS

FUCK YOU, REPOMAN, WE'RE NOT FLOPS

-WAAAAAAAAH I CAN'T BELIEVE HE TOOK OUR BEAR

Oh great, now half these flops are in aspiration failure, that's just what the doctor ordered.

-OMG AND NOW THE OTHER PLANT IS ON FIRE

BRO WTF IS HAPPENING WE'RE CURSED

-WE ARE AND WE ALL KNOW WHO'S TO BLAME

-HE'S BEEN BAD LUCK SINCE HE WAS BORN

-Can you harpies take this somewhere else, I'm trying to get high here!

-KILL HIM

OK NO. No one's killing anyone, we're NOT cursed, ok?

-We're broke, afflicted with a bills glitch, fires keep starting and half the house is in aspiration failure!

Well let's be real, the broke part is on you.

-US??

You idiots are averaging a D each semester because you're too busy fucking each other, beating each other up or both..

..I mean freaking Jimmy is on academic probation, I have never gotten this before in all the years I've played this game, this is the worst college run of all time.

-WHAT IS YOUR POINT

My point is the bar is in hell so let's just get out of this run alive, ok? Now you kids make nice!

-Well, Failina, now that I'm looking at you up close I guess putting lipstick on a pig does work sometimes.

-For my next move, I'll shove my queen in your other eyehole.

See, now isn't this nice? And I think I figured out what caused the bills thing so everything should be fine now..

-THINK AGAIN BITCH

OH FFS

-I'M HERE TO FREE THIS NEIGHBORHOOD FROM YOUR TERRIBLE SPOKEN WORD POETRY

Ok you know what I'm actually fine with that one, take it- Um do I hear hearts??

UH WHAT????

-THAT'S RIGHT IM IN LOVE WITH KEA FOR NO CLEAR REASON

WTF

-We've been friends for a long time-

You have?? Man I really need to pay more attention around here.

-Yes well you can't help being useless!

Very true! Well please, continue, let me just call someone over-

-What's it take to get your number? What's it take to bring you home? Hurry up, it's time for supper, order up, I'm hot to go🎵

Alright well Chapell karaoke seals it, Kea, welcome to the family!

-You mean it this time right, you won't fuck me over again like when I was engaged to Sophito?

LOL I forgot about that but no I'm certain this one is gonna work out, unless crazy ass Cyan goes back to one of her cousins

-What?

I said start planning the wedding!

[paperclipps7]

You probably already have your own ideas of how the Easter Toons would play out in the Dead End AU (or at least outlines) but I've been imagining Eggson as Boxten's one-sided 'rival'. Boxten would call them rivals, anyway, but really their energy is more of Boxten and his old man Eggson.

Boxten's trying to make some sort of doohickey, a solenoid hand-crank generator or whatever, and it's just not working. No matter what he does it just doesn't work, until Eggson walks in and it starts producing electricity. Every time one of his gadgets breaks or glitches or whatever, Eggson just humphs, hits it with his cane, and it's magically fixed. Boxten is trying to understand it but no matter how hard he tries he just can't replicate the feat and it's very frustrating but very needed so he just hangs around Eggson whenever a project isn't going right so the machine spirit is appeased or whatever.

Meanwhile Eggson is just happily telling stories to his adopted son while he works on another one of his very useful projects, more than pleased to have someone who sticks around and listens to him for longer than a few shallow minutes.

I do really like the idea, but I feel like it could only really apply to pre-split, as The Wanderers and New Gardenview are not on very good terms (also New Gardenview isnt particularly advanced in tech, so he wouldnt have much to do after Boxten leaves).

This is also a good time for me to talk about it, but Ive been really struggling with how to incorperate Eggson into The Dead End. Currently the oldest toon (at least in my headcanons) in The Dead End is Rodger, and hes only about mid-late 30's, with most of the others falling in a similar age range or lower. Eggson on the other hand provides the problem of being just an actual senior citizen. Dude is old and realistically would be the closest thing to dead weight a group could have. In a world of survival and beasts in the dark, sure, the old and wise may know a lot but theres not much help they can provide.

I have 2 ideas, but one is kind of mediocre, and the second basically designates him to backstory character.

The first idea is bringing him into The Dead End, and acting as a sort of camp keeper for New Gardenview, keeping things in check while others are gone. The only issue with that is Teagan already never leaves camp, and Dandy rarely leaves either, which would render Eggson's role a bit obsolete.

The second basically reduces him to the same role as Pebble and Coal, a toon left behind that someone in The Dead End is desperately trying to return to. I think it would be a similar situation to Warly from Dont Starve, where someone (Id say probably Bassie, Rodger, or Boxten, as all could view him as a sort of father figure or positive influence) was taking care of him (not to the same extent as Warly and his mother in Dont Starve, as Eggson is clearly still pretty capable, but he is old so its safer for him to have someone there).

I really like the second idea more than the first, but I also feel bad about it. Pebble and Coal were left out because they are pets who have no reason getting pulled into The Dead End. There isnt any reason for them to be brought in and they wouldnt serve much purpose other than just being dogs. Eggson though is just a straight up person though, it would make sense for him to be taken, and yet he just wouldnt really do anything in The Dead End.

I dont know, if anyone has any ideas it would be nice, but as of now Im leaning towards him being a backstory character like Pebble and Coal. The other 3 Easter toons I have a fairly strong idea on what to do with them. Bassie in New Gardenview with maybe one death serving as a florist trying to help Dandy where she can. Cocoa as a sort of wandering assistant with many deaths, just trying to help anyone with anything. And Flyte in The Wanderers, trying to keep his little sister from risking her life again. Its just Eggson thats really giving me trouble.

{Concept art for a spider-girl Yuu someone brought up, but since I don't wanna fully put my own image of spider Yuu in case others imagined them differently, this is heavily based more on astv instead of just a general spider-man/woman Yuu}

TW: Mention of death {Yuu's Canon Event}

{In case you can't tell I added a bit of spider-Gwen [ghost-spider] to this Yuu [with the slight colored hair, losing their best friend and soon father, also this Yuu has a more Micky inspired suit since their old one got torn from their canon event and Micky felt bad so he made one for them that goes with the waiter outfits.}

I can honestly see the staff at House of Mouse along with the guest {mainly the great seven} being pretty concerned and curious of this Yuu's world/dimension since I'd be pretty understandable this Yuu has trust issues not because their villains/magical people but because they don't want to possibly lose them like how they lost their Peter/Gwen/father.

And to go deeper on the topic of spider-Yuu {mainly with canon events and more connected to the atsv plot} I like to image that before arriving at Twisted Wonderland and working at House of Mouse they just went through their canon event of losing their dimensions Peter/Gwen or father.

Along with that, since this Yuu is from another dimension and arrived in a different world {twst} they'd technically be an anomaly, since it's theorized/hinted that the spider society can only go to dimensions/worlds WITH a spider-man/woman in them. So they may tend to glitch a lot {which is canonically very painful} due to their body's genes not being from that place unless the more powerful/magical guest or staff at NRC and House Of Mouse placed a spell that prevents them from glitching.

Bonus: I believe maybe the NRC boys {especially the dorm leaders and our boy Jamil} would be a little jealous of Yuu's Peter/Gwen since they were the first ones to get close to/love Yuu, but feel bad for being jealous since you know, Yuu's first friend/lover is dead {rip Peter/Gwen but I prefer to make Peter's death this Yuu's canon event since Gwen already went through it in most other worlds}. Idia would most definitely be jealous of Yuu's Ganke though lol.

{Anyway here's Yuu's Canon event, similar to spider-Gwen's canon event since I'd just get sadder thinking of more brutal ideas for Yuu's Peter}

{So to explain this in short, Yuu's Peter was similar to Gwen's Peter and turned himself into a giant lizard, so they fight without Yuu knowing it's him and then the giant rubble crushes him and turns him back into his human form, Yuu hears his slow breaths {since he's literally dieing from being crushed} and realizes it's him but got trapped in rubble as well so they had to cut their hair off with the sharpest rock/shard of glass they could find so that's why their hair looks so messy and choppy at the bottom due to the panic and want to find and save her friend Peter, but he dies in their arms obviously. So in memory of him they keep their hair the same and never let it grow longer since they feel like they'd lose him again in a different way {+they dyed their hair his favorite color at the end, or just your favorite color in general}. Tragic.}

I'm feeling angsty 🥀💔😏.

{Honestly bonus points if Yuu was destined to die like Gwen in other dimension versions of them, everyone is going to freak out.}

Why Doll perfectly exemplifies all of the strengths and flaws of Murder Drones as a series.

From the amount of posts present on my blog about the specific individual, it is rather obvious to assume that Doll Yurikova (I'm still convinced the fandom made up this surname) is my favourite character from Murder Drones and you wouldn't be wrong.

She just simply tickles my needy scratch for weird, cool complex villainess characters.

However, eventually I also realised that she more than any other character embodies everything that makes murder drones a great show and everything that detracts the show from being genuinely amazing.

Let's start off with the good, anything I say applies to the both of them:

Doll/Murder drones are generally cool, unconventionally attractive, have great potential (this point will be elaborated upon) and are very complex in both the themes that they bring to the table and the philosophical standpoints discussed.

Coolness factor is mostly subjective, but I am sure any Murder drones fan will tell you that the sci-fi/horror/mystery/romance/comedy show about sentient cannibalistic robots who fight against eldritch atrocities with Portal 2-esque music is an absolute blast conceptually and visually. In the same way the russian robo vampire who was previously a cheerleader before deciding to commit cannibalism to avenge her dead parents has swarms of fans simping for her.

Unconventionally attractive is determined by unconventional people, said people also have rewatched the show seventeen different times.

Now, regarding the great potential, although I've also elaborated the previous points, this is one that will carry over when discussing the negatives of both the character and the show, but as for positive, you can just feel that Murder Drones is so much different from anything else you have ever watched, it truly gives me haunted Ghibli vibes in the way the story plays out. It could really be amazing. As for Doll, every time I watch her in the show up to her death I just get really sad thinking about what could have been if she had a redemption arc or just a better life in general.

Murder drones has abuse as his main theme and how it circulates into destructive chains and Doll is definitely one of the more interesting examples of said theme, being part of the abused and mauled drone designation that became an abuser herself. I say one of the more interesting examples because her story is fleshed out better than someone else's, say Tessa or Alice.

And now for the negatives, we need to bring out the big elephant in the room:

The show is only 8 episodes long and they are writing the season one finale in the same way you would write a series finale since making Murder drones costs Glitch a crap ton of money when they could just lower the animation quality and allow the story more time to breathe (mind you this is also Liam Vickers fault). I just hate the 8 episodes 20 minute long formula, it has, in my opinion, destroyed modern show telling and I honestly can't bear it any longer.

Besides that, 8 episodes of 20 minutes means that Doll's arc has to be paced quickly in order to get all the other characters (particularly the main ones) and elements to shine and that unfortunately leads to the fact that both Doll and Murder drones lack the one thing that separates Doll from being a human being and Murder Drones from being an amazing show, and that thing is (drum rolls) the tissue.

To explain, they have the (exo)skeleton, the organs, the mandibles and all the things that would make a piece of fiction feel truly human, but without the connective tissue, the skin, they both end up just short of those standards and as a result I can't confidently say that they are truly evocative individuals. Tissue of course is a metaphor for quote on quote "filler" in regards to the show and "villain at rest" moments in regards to Doll and her arc. And let's talk about the ending of said arc because of its possibility of paralleling the conclusion of the show;

You can say a lot of things about Doll's death but one thing that's impossible to deny is the impact of her death in your mind, everything about its execution is just so brutal that it leaves you a lasting feeling in your body; in a similar manner, the show could end with an absolute gut punch that remains impressed in your mind for months to come.

Got a spoilery ask about SLARPG regarding Melody's character arc and, to a lesser extent, the ending, so I'll put this below a read more!

Anonymous asked:

Heya! I adore adore adore SLARPG, and have latched pretty hard onto Melody and Harmony's dichotomy for a while... I was wondering whether you saw Harmony more as an obstacle to Melody's growth, or something to be worked on and reconciled with more like Madeline and Badeline from Celeste? Unless it's spoilers of course. It's one of the few threads left open after the game, and as a plural woman myself I was just curious. X3

I'll say up front that I've generally avoided stepping in and telling people what The One Correct Interpretation is for a lot of things in SLARPG. I didn't intend for Melody to be read as plural, since in the story Harmony is a parasitic outside force, but I also understand where that interpretation comes from and won't tell folks they're wrong for relating to her like that. That's just the beauty of art. We can relate to things however we want. I just wanna make sure my personal framing is clear before I talk about the thought behind Melody and Harmony's relationship

Harmony is more of a literary device than a character. While she's not an alternate personality for Melody, she's also not really a full person in her own right. I don't think about Harmony having her own arc. She's a magical force that occasionally externalizes Melody's darker, more self-critical thoughts for the audience, where normally she would keep them to herself. She has her own design and name to make the dialogue boxes easier to follow. I also keep it intentionally vague whether or not other people would be able to see Harmony because I find that understated uncertainty more fun.

On a literal level, Harmony is a magical parasite, and therefore an obstacle to be overcome. She's not supposed to be there, straight up. But because she's just the embodiment of dark thoughts that Melody is already having, there isn't really much point in "defeating" Harmony to me - which is why things play out the way they do.

Even if Melody got rid of Harmony, she would still have to deal with those feelings. It would be a purely symbolic victory. And symbolic victories like that are often satisfying as hell in fiction, but in real life you can't defeat your shadow self to stop those 3am "what if my friends are only pretending to like me" thoughts. So instead, Harmony is something Melody needs to cope with and minimize. It's not about getting rid of bad thoughts forever, but rather learning how to deal with them better. And that's an active, life-long process. And so Harmony remains, but Melody is working on having healthier relationships with both her loved ones and herself.

I'll also say that, while I love Celeste, Madeline and Badeline's arc is mostly irrelevant to the way I write Melody and Harmony. (I don't think this ask is accusing me of plagiarizing Maddy Thorson or anything, to be clear. I'm just on a tangent since the comparison was brought up.) SLARPG began development in 2015, so the Harmony scenes, and Melody's arc as a whole, were already planned before Celeste came out. While I worried about getting compared to a much more popular game, I stuck to my guns, knowing that my story was different enough to stand on its own. If anything, I just avoided specific phrases like "reflection" or "I'm a part of you" to try and keep people from just pointing and going "Celeste reference!"

Unfortunately the "wow this is just like Celeste" comments were unavoidable, as were the newfound generalizations about what all indie games about trans girls with anxiety must be like because there are two (2) whole games that share some common story tropes, and it seems like the ending may have thrown some people off because of expectations created by Celeste. But what are you gonna do? I at least avoided my absolute nightmare scenario of Deltarune Ch.2 doing glitch aesthetics or giving Susie and Noelle a kiss mechanic lmao

[stellar-constellations]

Hii! Can you please write kokushibo and muzan (separately) x a female reader who is flirty, likes going out to parties and gatherings, and wears flashy and unique clothes? Since they're both really old I think it would be interesting and cute

Muzan and Kokushibo x Fem! Flirty! Reader (separate)

Wordcount: 474 words

Muzan:

You're lucky that you're his partner; if you were any normal demon or human, he would've killed you without a second thought. 

Muzan doesn't understand the new trends of fashion, but he does dress like them to keep up with society's evolution so he wouldn't be suspicious to humans. You might be able to convince him to have matching clothes and use the excuse of it being what normal human couples do. 

Muzan will buy your flashy and vibrant colored clothes. He doesn't understand the appeal to them, but whatever makes you happy. He personally doesn't like the attention it brings to you, but he knows he'll just kill anyone if someone makes a comment or a move. 

Muzan glares at you whenever you decide to try and flirt with him. Since he (unfortunately) can't kill you, the best he'll do is glare at you. If you do it in public, he'll act like he didn't hear or respond with his own comment (depending on how suggestive your comment was). 

If you're the type of flirt that flirts with everyone, anyone who flirts back ends up dead (you stopped flirting with people after finding this out). 

Muzan will go to parties with you (for your safety and so he can eat).

Muzan finds your personality eccentric and it only boosts his god-complex.

Kokushibo:

Kokushibo finds your personality relaxing and refreshing. He likes how you can just casually be yourself without worrying about another looking down at you.

Kokushibo finds your sense of fashion interesting, he asks questions about it. His questions consist of: are your clothes comfortable? Do you favor certain colors? Do you like patterns or plain designs? Do you like baggy or tight clothes? Do you like clothes with bells or no?

He asks these questions so he can buy you clothes, but he wants to find an outfit that fits every single one of your desires; from the feeling of the fabric to the color to the flexibility. 

Kokushibo doesn't respond to your flirtations, it's like he doesn't even hear you. After the third time of repeating the same comment, he'll tell you he heard the first time.

Kokushibo won't admit it, but your comments do make his heart race a little. 

When you flirt with someone, Kokushibo glares at the person in hopes they'll die on the spot out of fear. Depending on how generous he feels, he may or may not kill them. 

Kokushibo won't go to parties, he doesn't see the point since he doesn't plain on socializing with anyone. He trusts you'll be fine on your own and he gives you something to defend yourself just in case (usually a small blade). 

Thank you for requesting! I had some trouble getting this to publish because my Tumblr keeps glitching out, but I'm glad it's finally out.

((Oh dear god the creepypasta subreddit and fandom wiki are AGAINST lost episodes it seems I can't tell-))

Sooo...I'm putting it here!

So, for context. I watch cartoons as a comfort thing, I didn’t have the best childhood, but that isn’t important for this story. One of my favorites has always been “The Amazing World of Gumball”, just my type of humor.

Anyways, this story took place while the show was in season 5, but I can’t remember exactly where it was at the time this happened. I saw an advertisement online for a DVD set of the show, which made me really happy. Even if such material is bootleg, it’s nice to keep physical media, just in case digital copies are for some reason unusable.

So, I bought it and it got delivered. I put it into my DVD player and started scrolling through the episode list, when I noticed that one of the options was season 5. This isn’t strange, but personally I would have waited for the whole season to be over to include it in something like this.

However, it at least meant I would have a moment to watch my favorite episode at that point of the season, episode 6. For anyone who never saw the show, it was titled “The Choices”, and followed Nicole in flashbacks as we find out how she and Richard first met. I loved their romantic story and I find flashback episodes entertaining in the general sense.

However…the episode wasn’t there. Instead, it was an episode titled “Finale”.

This confused me, and so, like anyone else would, I tried looking into it, however nothing came up. There was no talk about the show ending at season 5 and it obviously didn’t at this point.

So, with no luck through the internet or anything I knew about the show’s history, I decided I might as well just watch the episode.

It started like any other episode, in fact it started the exact same way as “The Choices”. However I quickly noticed a major flaw…Richard never showed up.

The kids suddenly started going silent, looking upset, as the camera moved over to Nicole, who was making food just like the original episode.

It then went into that freeze frame moment the original episode did, and Nicole sighed, questioning how it all came this way.

And so, the flashbacks go on, but without the different paths, just showing the entire timeline of how Nicole and Richard first met, and how they got together, no music.

But then, it cut to a set of storyboards. Richard and Nicole were in the car, Richard driving, but then they looked scared and started screaming as a CRASH was heard and the visuals glitched to black.

I was unnerved, as I just waited for the episode to continue. After a few minutes, I could hear something. There was soft crying, seemingly from Nicole, which kept going as the credits rolled, without music. Just white font for the credits, and at the very end of the credits, it had a piece of text that read:

“Thanks for nothing, Cartoon Network.”

The tape ejected itself, and I quickly put it back into its box, never planning to put it back in again. I just sat down and tried to keep looking into it, but still, nothing came up! There were always those silly rumors but those were always false! I tried asking, but people keep on thinking I made it up! I don’t know what to do anymore.

// Creator’s Note: Heya! This is my first ever (probably only) Creepypasta based upon a nightmare I had. I hope this is pretty good at least! //

You should do Miguel and Si hcs (Weathering Feelings VN)

Since idk how many people have played it I’ll suggest doing so before reading this post since it’ll contain spoilers!

Hcs under the cut!:

This one’s a little more interesting than most to me due to the nature of the game and Miguel looking at the PLAYER and less so the stand-in he has for you in game, gets a little meta in the best ways in my opinion. UwU

Si would find the general idea for the game really cute assuming the download page is a little different from the irl itch page and doesn't include any spoilers. It would be neat if the moment he downloads it the page is gone since it's meant for him and no one else. (though this is an open mc headcanon even if it wasn't Si, I just think it's a neat idea). While he knows games aren't the same as getting real therapy, sometimes it's nice to harmlessly vent to a game just to get it out.

I think he'd play a "normal" route where he wouldn't notice anything off about the game just yet, not hitting the right flags right away and putting the game down for a day or two before booting it up again to try and get a new route with one of the other Doctors before going back to try and do a better route with Dr. Nubloso....only to get him again even after picking different answers. Weird...but he thinks "maybe I have to hit a flag first and clear his route first." He does better the second time around, but now things are getting...weird, and he notices that the game sprite seems to be looking directly at him.

Once he gets to the part where things get really weird and Dr. Nubloso starts talking about going into the game files before the route ends, Si gets really spooked and closes the game again. He's surprised and a little shocked at the change of pace in the story, but he also can't help but be a little curious about what would happen if he did delete the file. It's also around 2-3 am at that point of time, so he also thinks that maybe he fell asleep or misread something in his sleepy state. He sleeps on it, opens the game again, and plays through one more time to make sure, once again giving different answers, and once more getting the Cloudy Day therapist.

Once he confirms the weird ending and the request of deleting the file, Si looks around in the game files before finding it. His curiosity gets the better of him after a little debate with himself, and he does. Now....When he boots up the game again he is NOT expecting to see Miguel at all, and he certainly wasn't expecting to be talked to directly. He almost yelps and turns off the game again, but something pulls his attention to the new development and tells him to stop and hear him out. Maybe he's overacting and this is just really good...specific writing? So he plays on, almost exhausting each available line of dialogue Miguel has for him, even replaying them a few times before Miguel acknowledges what he's doing and gives him the whole 'oh, you're testing me and my loyalty' speech. And...he has to admit, he does feel a little bad for the character by that time....that is until he hits the nsfw route and gets WAY MORE flustered than he should've been. And yes....he played both routes. ovo

By the end of it, he gets the ending where Miguel resolves to break out of the game for him, and he's left confused when all that loads after is a glitched screen. He does some more digging in the files and finds some "easter eggs" from Miguel, getting flustered at two of the special pictures hidden in the files. Curiouser, Si- seemingly out of a whim- decided to read the game's script...and his stomach drops when he notices little notes hidden in the game's files from Miguel- even down to the nsfw scenes. Before he can really react or fully process that this could be real, there's a knocking at his door..... Miguel came to find him just like he said he would. :)

That's all I really have for now since it's been a hot minute since I thought about how this would work given what we have with the current demo, but as you can see it's a really fun premise to play with!

[theageofsims]

This is gonna be a shit post, but that's what I do around here.

So there's been 3 deaths. Yes -- 3.

How can this happen? Ya girl don't even know. So much is happening off my watch and to say that I'm not literally out there trying to pick my faves and runner-ups in this legacy would be a damn lie.

For starters -- Delaney. Somebody fucking tell me HOW Delaney even died though. I didn't even think vampires could actually die outside of burning up from the sun (if they aren't immune to it) -- and she was immune to it.

I knew they could die because her aunt passed away randomly about two months ago and I was going to work that into the storyline, but I had to get everyone into a new save (and been struggling making sure everyone is related where relations need to be especially since family trees have been broken).

But I didn't care about her Aunt -- I literally spent an entire like 8 hour game session awhile back when Delaney was still a teenager, to make sure she became a master vampire. Her father Timothy isn't even a master vampire (yet???) and at the rate he's going, he's closer to a damn demon rather than a vampire at this point.

I can't.

I wasn't around like at all for Delaney's childhood and most of her teenage years because I was off with the others.

It's whatever. That's just how I roll. I don't pause the aging of the Sims. They out there living their lives. Shit is gonna happen, but I had plans for Delaney.

I spent like 3 hours one night chatting with a friend about bullshit in-between us coming up with NINE boy and NINE girl names for Delaney and Coleman's unborn children.

They were supposed to have 9 children.

I don't know what happened in the original save, but Delaney was pregnant with 3 girls -- only one baby showed up after a massive glitch during her giving birth. That's why in the storyline it mentions she lost two children. What happened to them? I don't even know. I never ever had that happen.

Then she was supposed to have another set (of triplets). All nine children were supposed to be 3 sets of triplets. Well I made a mistake in MCCC, so she got pregnant with just one child... Another girl, which is Helga.

She was supposed to have 3 sons next. I had their names all picked out and ready to go... And then I find out she passed away. 😒

The game says she died of electrocution, but how? From lightening? They had no appliances or tvs in the house. Whatever the case, I just said she got stabbed in the heart by a vampire slayer because how else are vampire stories and their deaths typically told?

Fuck this game I'm through. 🤣😂🤣

I am so tired of planning shit that never ends up happening, but I also will NOT control these Sims more than I am within this legacy so they can just keep right on fucking with me! 🤣😂🤣

I knew something was going to happen to Delaney. I didn't know what or when, I mean -- she's the youngest sim to have passed away in my legacy, aside from her two daughters that never were meant to be.

I say this because she was constantly eating human food because she couldn't ever satisfy her hunger. She had that one trait -- or one of those food traits. The same as Lani (her mother) and it's like she was constantly in a state of hunger.

And then I made her a guilty drinker because she was supposed to be this like horseback rider at some point in her life so I was like oh she can just plant plama and harvest them -- and be fine.

Well -- ya girl wasn't fine. I don't know how many days she had left because she became an adult, but I'll know when I check in with Dakota (her twin sister).

Sunny, her late Aunt passed away like her first day as an Adult and I was devastated especially since Taro passed like a week before.

But anyway...

Clearly I made Coleman's death happen. I did use the random generator to find out if Timothy should be the one to end him. The random generator said yes and then I said well wait -- should Timothy end him or turn him? And the answer came back to end him so I said ya know what? Ya boy Coleman has GOT TO GO...

And that's what happened.

Now... Listen. What happened to Gavin was NOT supposed to happen to Gavin. I tried so hard to get him to safety.

I don't know what's going on with the fires in the game, but the incense is out there killing Sims. Just facts at this point. 🤷🏽‍♀️

I know I have a mod that fires do not start from fireplaces -- for years now, but I never had such an issue with incense.

I know I've had it happen, but the Sims are able to extinguish themselves or call the fire department. Sulani and Gavin couldn't do either -- and wait, Sulani's ass caught on fire, too! 👀👀👀👀

I was like OMG... I know this is NOT happening to me right now.

Well -- it happened.

But at least Sulani was finally able to extinguish herself.

And wait -- I wrote it that she tried to save him as in she dragged his ass out the house but in game he was OUTSIDE and he still got killed by the flames!

She was inside engulfed in flames and was able to extinguish herself at the last minute, but him? Not a chance. 😒☹️

[and-a-pidgey-in-a-wepear-tree]

good [insert time of day here] i realised i never thought to ask you amid my delight of you being the most interactive follower i have that isnt an irl friend do YOU have ocs or blorbos. i wish to know. for reasons.

OH hello yes thank you for asking!!! I have several OCs but most of the time I simply Do Not Explain on here; I have lots of ideas and doodles but I make it mostly for myself and don't think to share — doesn't mean I don't want to tho! exhibit A: this absolutely massive post I'm about to make lmao. putting it under a read more bc Oh Boy, the floodgates have been opened

most of my OCs are for two different projects I have: The Visitors and my D&D Dark Star Campaign.

The Visitors is just a lil worldbuilding project I've been chewing on for.... oh wow, over a decade at this point??? I love all the OCs I have in there very very much, but they're definitely never intended to go in an actual story, I just enjoy the speculative biology and character / world building process.

Val is one of my oldest OCs, and she's changed SO MUCH over the years! nowadays, she's a sort of insect/dinosaur mashup alien who uses gravity warping magic and a very large axe to hunt demons. a huge issue for magic users of her species is keeping cool, as magic generates heat and can literally cook you from the inside out, so you'll notice the multiple vent-like spiracles across her body for this purpose. she was born blind and so relies heavily on her best friend, Django, to be her eyes and keep her safe. fortunately, Django has Too Many Eyes. he's a dragon genetically engineered by those in Val's species to be the perfect vessel for storing and releasing massive amounts of mirror-based magic. this kind of magic gives him many abilities, including seeing around corners, creating illusions, or multiplying attacks when applied in different ways, and he acts as Val's seeing-eye dragon. in battle, she likes to get up in the action while he holds back and gives her cues on what's happening, only jumping in himself if she's in major trouble. she's very friendly and excitable, and loves to get into the culture of whatever planet they're visiting, while he's more interested in observing and snooping. there's a lot of espionage and hijinks.

these are some of my most recent sketches of them, tho I'm sure the designs will changes in the future. specific colors don't matter at all, it's all about vibes! not pictured in the halfway colored one is Val's big iridescent black cape thing that has a slit down the middle for her rigid tail, nor her weird arms since I wanted to figure out where the torso vents could go.

Duke is another Visitor who visits planets and solves problems, but his path to get there was a whole lot different! I made him up as a coping mechanism when I was 12, and I'm still very fond of him.

he started life as a human video game speedrunner and modder prodigy. in a "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" situation, a devil (very distinct from demons!) struck a deal with him, challenging his gaming abilities with his soul as the stakes. he won despite the devil's cheating, but that's where the resemblance to the song ends. in this world, a devil winning your soul allows them to fuse with you and gain total control over your body, mind, and actions; but if YOU win, the control is reversed! and like any 14 year old who suddenly has the power to rival minor gods and a chaotic creature living in their head.... he goes off the rails for a while. Val and Django eventually find him and help him cope. his powers include electricity, glitching reality, flailing his glaive around, and being a menace to evil overlords.

you can't see it very well in this picture, but his eyes and the segments between his tail glow lime green! I'm not a fan of drawing clothes, but in my head he's relatively fashionable for a teenager and refuses to wear anything other than black. also, he decided to tell me he was trans a couple years ago, thanks for letting me know buddy 😂

my other project does actually get to see the light of day, if very slowly — I'm running a homebrew D&D campaign for my irl friends called the Dark Star Campaign! none of em use tumblr so WHEEEE I get to post all the spoilers I want! there's a kinda staggering amount of lore behind it and a ton of minor OCs, but the two I rotate in my head the most are Anya the Timekeeper and The Master, aka Armageddon.

Anya the Timekeeper is a chronomancy lich from an alternate universe! she used to help Armageddon travel the multiverse and gain power, but she's decided she's tired of being evil, and now hides in a mansion on a tropical island where she breeds dinosaurs for fun. though she's now very determined to help the party, they'll eventually have to kill her past self to prevent a paradox. her familiar is a little archaeopteryx named Trix who steals hats!

(I commissioned this art from @/goodlouse a while ago! highly recommend checking out his blog!!)

Armageddon is the BBEG and he's SO EVIL and SO MUCH FUN. he's an ancient amethyst dragon who, up until a while before the campaign's beginning, was steadily finding alternate universe versions of himself, killing them, and eating their souls to gain Unlimited Power™. unfortunately, his partner in time (hah) Anya told him to fuck off, so the quest for Unlimited Power™ has been kinda slow lately. fortunately, a D&D campaign started, and he cheated his way into existing at the players' table as The Master! my players can ask to talk to him sometimes, and I'll put on a mask of his head I made specifically for this purpose — very useful for not breaking character when the character is supposed to literally be the one sitting at the table talking to the players. I don't try to hide the fact that he's evil and they all know it, the fun is in giving them little hints and tidbits of lore to munch on. right now he's being very docile and helpful but things will get very very interesting eventually as more of his nature and plan is revealed..... =)

I'm still playing around with what he looks like as The Master, but I really like this recent design I did. his eye glows dark and menacing. I haven't found a design for his dragon form I'm really pleased with yet tho :/

okay wow thanks again for the ask, I have many many ideas in my head and it felt pretty nice to get em out!!
