miscellaneous brian quinn hc's

can you tell what my new obsession is?

q is such an old soul. he's the type of guy who never stopped listening to his parent's music. he has hours and hours of 60's and 70's classic rock hits on his spotify all the way back to his broken mp3 players. don't get me wrong, he loves some good indie music. i feel like he'd have a soft spot for midwest because of the sick guitar riffs. he kept his cd collection from the aughties that he plays for you in the car. if you look through his junk drawer there's definitely one of his broken childhood cassetes in there.

segwaying from that last point, he is an extremely sentimental guy. he cherishes every single gift you give him. every birthday card he's ever received is kept in a special box at the back of his closet for safekeeping. he loves hoarding knick knacks and it's easier to defend things that have emotional value.

he has a thing for graphic tshirts. anything he outgrows he either gives to you to sleep in or donates it to an op shop. he doesn't like being a basic bitch but also doesn't have a very good sense of style. so any plain old shirt with a slogan or design on it makes him feel less like a boring old man.

he really enjoys the feeling of you running your fingers through his hair. he has a sensitive scalp so he doesn't really like people touching his hair because they can pull too hard. when you first touch his scalp, he doesn't register what you're doing because he's so used to the guys yanking on his hair. he immediately melts at your touch. every now and then, when he needs a little pick me up, he rests his head in your lap and asks you to play with his hair.

his cats are very attached to you. he jokingly calls you his 'pussy magnet'. you're always his first pick when it comes to a catsitter because they just can't get enoug of you. he sends you so many videos of them meowing for you as an excuse for you to come over.

*Throws you my Mouthwashing Oc and runs away*

(Js scroll down if you want some lore,,)

(This is before the crash!!!)

( TW; Mentioned of SA, death, gun, and FreakyJigglingBalls (Jimmy) )

This is Efren Dela Cruz!

He is the executive officer of the crew, which means he checks the safety of the ship and makes sure that the crew are mentally okay. He sometimes help Swansea and Daisuke in handling machines (since he was a mechanic in his previous job) and even Anya in organizing medic stuff. Despite his job is simple and nothing special, he enjoys to be it. He brought cassete tapes to describe his experience in space and how the stars looked (he loves stargazing)! When he is done with his daily activities, he just listen to music using the CDs and CD player.

Other Facts;

-Very quiet yet stoic

-Ambivert

-A Filipino (He was born in the Philippines, but moved to another country)

-If Curly wondered why there is 3 packs of Sweetener are missing, it wasn’t Daisuke.

-Sweet tooth

-Loves stars

-Early 30s!

(After the Crash)

Efren looks like the same as before, but he is more a bit paranoid. He started acting this way after the celebration. He started to think that Jimmy is… something else. And he was right. I decided to give him a bit of trauma; Efren was forced to watch Anya get assaulted, someone tried to force him to join him, and because of this, he has a bruise on his wrist. Unfortunately, he died along with Swansea. He was shot by Jimmy on the throat. Did Jimmy saw Efren in his hallucinations? Yup! Jimmy has been hearing “I was there.” along with (in Jimmy’s hallucinations) Swansea attacking Jimmy.

What does Efren think of his crewmates? (Before the Crash)

Captain Curly; “ Oh, Curly? I think he’s responsible enough to be the Captain! I don’t know why Jimmy looks at him like he is going to kill him, though… “ (Friendly)

Jimmy; “ The definition of unhealthy jealousy. “ (Tension)

Anya; “ I know she failed her med school eight times, but I think she’s good at her job since she is the only one who has knowledge of handling injuries. “ (Friendly)

Daisuke; “ The sigma alpha sunshine of the crew. “ (Friendly)

Swansea; “ Haha, old man. “ (Neutral/Friendly)

So the names/characters we know for certain are;

Grumpybox= Crankcase

Cons4eva= Cons4eva/unpronounceable name

I'm assuming Cassete man is Soundwave because I'm not sure who else it would be

But who are Trypticat and starscream's ghost? It's clearly not Starscream and Tripticon themselves because Trypticon is way too big to type on anything plus I doubt he's the type to give his icon little cat ears lol and the Starscream's ghost account definitely isn't Star himself judging from the messages because he's never had that much faith in Megatron ever (plus let's face it his account would be something like KingStarscreamthebest with a tiny crown on his icon lol)

So I'm really curious who those two are? Any ideas anyone?

AITA Podcast Edition:

"AITA for stalking my co-workers?"

I recently discovered that the woman that previously had my job G was murdered and her body was resting in the secret tunnels behind my work place with a bunch of cassete tapes. It has to have been one of my co-workers!! And if I do nothing I'm the next!!! No, I'm not paranoid!!!

"AITA for lying to my employee so I could turn him into an eldrish god and end the world?"

My ex-husband P said he though so but he tried to throw my other employee M into a Lonely hellish pocket dimension so who can tell? My Archieve also thinks so but I did applogize for the decepcion.

AITA for driving a man out of town because he gave my husband a bad haircut?

It was a really bad haircut.

AITA for bringing scientific explanations to a desert little town?

You see, I just wanted to help the people from this small supertious odd town in having a better understanding of reality by explaining away everything. Unfortunately my explanations were "killing" some unexplainable people (apparently by explaining them they just died and were remade lifeless husks) and the town got mad because god forbid a woman do anything.

AITA for screaming at a grieving woman over her lack of investigative curiosity?

I have some known investigative abilities, those who know me know that my love for riddles and puzzles has no bounds so it wasn't really as surprising when a surprisingly not evil cop asked my help with a high profile case. We were to investigste the disapearance of B and that was how we ended up meeting Vi she was B ex-girlfriend and could know something about the case except even though she was a journalist she didn't even know it was a kidnapping case!

AITA for forcing Gotham to watch an evil horror movie?

The movie in question was gifted to me in a ... let's say exange with a certain local bilionaire I may or may not have fear gassed after he refused to properly compensate me with said movie.

AITA for using the plans I had with my ex-boyfriend with my new boyfriend?

Us and my ex were very close and we had created this plan in case the city needed a backup civilian concil in the mist of the police. But after an... acid incident.. we sorta broke up and my new mafia boss bf really wanted to control the police.

AITA for not letting my friend numb her feelings with magic?

I work as an obituary writer and that was how I met my first friend in ages when I was writing about her aunt passing.

AITA for joining the other side without telling my friends?

Look I'm a demon and all my friends are as well, we have a band ... had a band? Not sure if I'm still in it... But hell sucks.

AITA for suspending someone's soul in the moment they died?

I had no idea I could do that. But apparently when I was a child I did? Until this point I was sure I had no arcane powers (as my mum told me that repetedly). I don't know how I did that or how to undo it but I feel bad.

[spiralling-thoughts]

i was thinking about your circ hcs (which i loved) and i was wondering what you think happened to casset after circ died?

Oh I am so glad you liked them I always love when people like my headcanons on the other oh man as much as I love coming up with headcanons about the tributes families thinking about how their family felt after they died make me want to cry so I don't think much about it 😭 but the fact you were thinking about one of my OCS mean so much to me thank you I really don't know what to say 🥺❤️.

But I imagine she would undoubtedly be devastated and angry at herself she might even think that it would have been better if she was reaped instead of him and people would gossip about this too and she would suffer severe self louthing because of it, she'd also get closer to thena who is the second eldest and took over as a provider in circs place at first thena would try her best to fill the void that circ left but casset would tell that she could never replace circ and it would make them argue but later make up and allow themselves to grief for their brother together and talk about all of the things that circ did to them and how he constantly looked after them and how much they miss him and thena would tell casset that she knows she can never replace circ but she would try her best and she would remind her that circ would never want her to think so low of herself and to always love herself no matter what, and after a long while casset would get back to her work (she works as a sort of delivery girl and deliver different goods for different places on her bike) and would regurly visit circs grave and lay flowers on it and talk to his grave telling him how much she misses him and how she would keep being strong because she knows it's what he would have wanted to and how they are still going and doing fine and she hopes he is feeling at peace wherever he is and would often breakdown after she finishes talking and she would visit teslees grave too because teslee was nice to her. She also would always wear one of his jackets often sleeping in it , it always feels like he's with her and wrapping his arms around her

I like to think none of circs family were reaped I just don't want them to suffer more than the crushing grief of losing him and casset would find someone who loves her for who she is and tell him and her children and grandchildren about circ and how much he would have loved them and how his life would have turned out if he had not died, part of me like to think she would still be alive by the time the second rebellion happens and when it's over she would visit circs grave and tell him that no more children would die that it was over and she's looking forward to getting to reunite with him ik this seems like too much of a happy ending for the hunger games but hey let me have some happy endings 🥲

You're lucky my parents are asleep so that they don't see me crying while writing this

I went to the art museum today. It's my favorite place to go and relax (besides the library). I probably go at least once a month. I love the permanent exhibits of impressionist and renaissance paintings. The contemporary art part of the museum has some great interactive light exhibits. And the temporary exhibits are always so..... interesting.

I have so many memories going there in these past few years after I was able to escape the horrible life I led. The quiet calm brings me such a peace after the chaos and turmoil that once was my home.

There are also 2 restaurants there. One fancy french restaurant. Very expensive, very french. I've never been tempted to go to that one (luckily for my wallet). The other is an "Italian" cafe that I have been to many times. I love to get a little mocha and a treat or caesar salad.

But even when I don't have any money, I will sit in there and have a cup of water. People watching is extra special at an art museum. Today, I saw a couple in the gift shop. And the man was buying his lady some jewelry. I always look at the jewelry for sale in the gift shop. I have never seen anyone buy anything from it. It was a magical experience, secretly spying him buying her whatever she decided she wanted. I will admit to being just slightly envious, but still totally happy for them.

Oh, also! In the hall that houses my favorite paintings, Mrs. C by John Sargent and Mom and daughter by Mary Casset, they had a "Mommy and Me" event going on! They were in interactive mats doing puzzles and coloring. It was so adorable!

P.S. The art museum of one of my stock meet cute places for my maladaptive daydreaming.

[groggygrogu]

can’t stop thinking about joel finding a david bowie cassete tape when he’s out on patrol some time and just like stopping in his tracks when it appears at the bottom of some shelf. and tommys like hey man should i get my gun out what’s going on and joel doesn’t even answer him because he has to get that tape. because it’s the album so starman. he can’t fucking remember the name but he recognises the cover art immediately.

and ellie needs to hear it.

tommy let’s out a breath when he see what joel’s stopped for, a relieved smile taking over his face when he knows who it’s for

ellie loves it

obviously

[doyouknowhowtowaltz]

Any way you could be persuaded to elaborate on the Ponyo AU? 👁👁👁

I can be persuaded to elaborate on everything always.

The Beast is a lighthouse keeper.

He affords himself two pleasures in life: Coffee so bitter he can barely stand it, and long walks on the beach, with a metal detector, and a casset player. He spends most of his time that's not spent in the light house walking along the shoreline gathering the trinkets that wash up on the shoreline every night and pawning them in town. It's suspicious really, the amount of antique coins and pocketwatches washing up, and not even deeply buried, kind of like someone just pushed some sand on top of them. He's found three corpses washed up on the beach doing this. And recently, a very nice ring he hasn't brought himself to sell yet.

He also fucking hates the ocean.

One day during his morning stroll he finds an antique railroad lantern, and something seems to be stuck inside. Never one to be accused of being a good samaritan, Herod grumbles the whole time he forces open the lantern face, slicing open his hand in the process, and reaches in to coax out a silmy mass of... something.

And suddenly he has the strangest octopus he's ever seen in his hands, with big eyes and a false mouth pattern that looks disarmingly like a grin, that he only registers is false when he realizes the octopus is licking the blood off his hand.

Herod tries to drop the octopus, but this is about as effective as you'd expect, but aside from clinging for its life to his fingers the creature seems pretty passive so he ends up bringing it to the lighthouse. One thing leads to another and eventually the octopus that used to fit in his coffee mug is taking up most of the space in his bathtub and being WAY too enamored with Herod's hands, particularly when he's wearing rings.

Herod also talks to himself (and arguably the octopus) the entire time. “I’m not getting rid of the octopus, but I’m certianly not going to live in the ocean, but the rumors about your grandmother… we’re utterly false, she came from Germany, not a group of seals, we could just get rid of the octopus, obviously no we cannot. He’s much too… endearing. And yet” meanwhile Enoch listens in with his chin propped up on a tentacle.

And then one day, he comes back and finds a man in his bathtub with the octopus, and upon closer inspection the man is the octopus... from the waist down. The man also insists they're married and that Herod should come back to the ocean with him.

Herod, 20 years a light house keeper was expecting this to happen.

Madness is very common among lighthouse keepers.

Slowly the octopus-man becomes more and more man than octopus, wheedling Herod to come back home with hime, while Herod copes with madness the way any sane person would, by continuing as best he can. Gradually Herod begins to insist that if the man's so fixed on staying with Herod he should stay on land. This goes on for months and Herod is becoming more and more ameanable to the concept of a husband day by day, less to his allusions of "returning to the sea."

And then, after about four lovely months, the town starts to flood.

The ocean wants its own back.

And Enoch isn't going without Herod.

Its an AU with shades of "Accidental marriage" and also a lot of this:

“So, what made you choose Enoch.”

“At the time he was an octopus.”

“Oh!"

“I wasn’t exactly aware I was making a life long commitment”

im thinkign about casseticons and such, if anyone has like their own strong feelings on how cassettes are portrayed in different tf media let me know bcs im interested in how ppl approach them

read more is just going to be me listing down the depictions I've seen and my own feelings on them

the cassettes just have a boss-employee relatoinship; i like this one just fine bcs its never going to be a normal boss employee relationship. nightmare workplace dynamic if funny to me and honestly I rock with the cassettes not rlly knowing eo like that until they all started working w/fr soundwave

the cassettes are family; also fine with this, but heavily depends on how its portrayed. I'm personally not a fan of the mechpreg concept esp when its like, just organic pregnancy with some fancy terms slapped on top of it to make it seem more robotic. im also partial to the cassettes being like kids. that's a grown ass man w dick n balls ykwim <-- its funny fr the jokes but like if im actually looking @ an actual series idrc fr them being like kids. LOL I SHOULDVE JUST SAID I fuck w the found family concept but yeah. my two cents ig.

the cassettes shitass roommate arrangement; kinda close to what idw was doing, I think its really funny and honestly the cassettes being familial figures in the way they're the ones who kinda "took care" of soundwave made me smile when reading idw1

this ones usually not on its own but I think cyberverse giving laserbeak (the eonly shown cassette) a more petlike role was only fun bcs how they showed soundwave calling and catching her from a group of other bird cassettes. he's like a falconer?? which is very cool to me and I thought abt blaster having a lion and rhino in his cassete ranks and its like. man. if they have to like be animal wranglers for the animalstic cassettes thats kinda cool? why there's a distinction between animal and humanoid cassettes kinda makes this one a bit "???" though

also I think depending how "sentient" you want to make the animal cassettes, whether they're cybertronian or smt else Ig also. like. says smt. idk shrug. idm if the animal cassettes are just pets but its like, again depend heavily how you decide to portray them

^^ i think my favorite interpretation so far is cassettes being their own thing from cybertronians, and the humanoid cassettes...just not being actual literal cassettes and are instead minibots that are even smaller than average that can hitch a ride in the compartment <-- a temporary thought as i think abt this a lil more cuz the cassete alt modes are still rlly fun to me but the way people decide to portray the differences is so... idkkkkkk frowning

all in all idrccc? its all fun but its like "id like to figure smt out fr my fa continuity idea", lotta diff directions u can go n its all fun to me

Incorrect quote!

Under the cut for length.

[Jack is showing Bentley some of xer favourite rock and metal songs]

Bentley: hey, Jack?

Jack K: Yeah?

Bentley: how'd... how'd you find this music?

Jack: aw, man. That's easy. It was your dad.

Bentley: ...my dad?

Jack: Yeah, Bent. Your dad. Uncle Ciero.

Bentley: the guy that looks like sunshine embodied?

Jack: if she does.

Bentley: alright, uh... cool.

~

[15 Minutes later]

Bentley: hey, dad?

Ciero: hm? Yeah, pet?

Bentley: How did YOU of all people get into rock and metal?

Ciero: Oh, well that's quite simple, really. Patrick got me into it.

Bentley how?

Ciero: Well, he had some cd's that he burned, and used to play them for me when he were going to class.

Bentley: Oh. Okay.

~

[Later]

Bentley: Hey, Pops?

Patrick: Yeah, Bean?

Bentley: how'd you get into like, rock and metal and stuff like that?

Patrick: picked it up from your uncle Octi. He used to play mix tapes when he drove us to school, and it spiralled from there.

Bentley: alright. Thanks, Pops.

~

[Much later]

Bentley: Yo, Uncle Octi?

Octavian: Yeah, kid?

Bentley: how'd younget into all this rock and metal music?

Octavian: Well... its actually a funny story.

Bentley: is it?

[Octavian grins and nods]

Octavian: Oh, yeah. See, when we were kids, our old man wasn't the best. And your uncle Zeph used music to deal with it.

Bentley: Uncle Zephyr?

Octavian: Yeah. Man can't show emotion, and listened to some of the hardest shit there is. I don't know, maybe it was the only way he felt comfortable expressing himself.

Bentley: Oh... okay. Thanks.

~

[Another while later]

Bentley: heyyyy, uncle Zephy!

Zephyr: what is it?

Bentley: I was talking with Uncle Octavian, and he said... you were the one that got him into metal music.

Zephyr: he did... did he?

Bentley: Yeah. And I was just wanting to know... how did you?

Zephyr: hm? How did I? How did I get into it?

[Bentley nods]

Zephyr: it was my grandma. She had a rolling stones vinyl that she lent to me, and I listened to it. Then, as my interest grew, I amassed a larger collection. And before I knew it, I had several vinyls, cassets, and cds at my disposal.

A Historia por trás dos games no Brasil

Olá, pessoal! Hoje eu vou contar para vocês um pouco sobre a história dos games no Brasil, que é uma história fascinante e cheia de curiosidades. Vocês sabiam que o Brasil é um dos maiores mercados de games do mundo, e que temos uma indústria de desenvolvimento de jogos muito criativa e diversa? Pois é, mas nem sempre foi assim. Vamos ver como tudo começou e quais foram os principais acontecimentos que marcaram a trajetória dos games no nosso país.

O primeiro console a chegar ao Brasil foi o Odyssey, em 1974. O Odyssey foi o primeiro console doméstico do mundo, lançado pela Magnavox em 1972. Ele era um aparelho simples, mas revolucionário, que permitia jogar diversos jogos em uma televisão. O Odyssey foi trazido ao Brasil pela empresa Philco-Ford, e custava cerca de 500 dólares na época. Apesar do preço alto, o console fez sucesso entre os brasileiros que podiam se divertir com jogos como Pong, Tennis e Shooting Gallery.

Em 1977, outro console que marcou a história dos games no Brasil foi o Atari 2600, lançado pela Atari nos Estados Unidos. O console era mais avançado que o Odyssey, e tinha uma biblioteca de jogos muito maior e mais variada. O Atari 2600 chegou ao Brasil em 1983, pela empresa Polyvox, que tinha uma parceria com a Atari para fabricar e distribuir o console no país. O Atari 2600 foi um fenômeno de vendas no Brasil, e se tornou o sonho de consumo de muitas crianças e adolescentes. Entre os jogos mais populares do console estavam Pac-Man, Space Invaders, Frogger e Enduro.

Nos anos 80, o Brasil também teve a sua própria indústria de games, que surgiu como uma alternativa aos consoles importados, que eram caros e sofriam com a alta carga tributária. A solução encontrada por alguns empreendedores foi desenvolver jogos para os computadores pessoais, que eram mais acessíveis e tinham uma maior penetração no mercado. Um dos pioneiros nessa área foi o Renato Degiovani, considerado o primeiro desenvolvedor de games do Brasil. Ele criou jogos como Amazônia, Serra Pelada e Aventuras na Selva, que eram inspirados na cultura e na história brasileiras. Os jogos eram distribuídos em revistas de informática, que vinham com fitas cassete ou disquetes contendo os programas.

Nos anos 90, o Brasil continuou acompanhando as novidades do mundo dos games, com a chegada de consoles como o Super Nintendo, o PlayStation e o Nintendo 64. No entanto, esses consoles eram muito caros para a maioria dos brasileiros, que recorriam aos chamados “mercados cinzas”, onde se vendiam produtos importados sem autorização oficial. Além disso, muitos brasileiros também optavam pelos “consoles genéricos”, que eram cópias não autorizadas de consoles famosos, como o Dynavision, o Top Game e o Phantom System. Esses consoles eram mais baratos e compatíveis com os cartuchos originais ou piratas dos consoles que imitavam.

Hoje, o Brasil é um dos maiores mercados de games do mundo, com mais de 75 milhões de jogadores e um faturamento de mais de 1,6 bilhão de dólares em 2020. O país também tem uma cena vibrante e diversa de desenvolvimento de games, com mais de 500 estúdios espalhados pelo território nacional. Alguns dos jogos brasileiros mais aclamados dos últimos anos são Horizon Chase Turbo, um jogo de corrida retrô desenvolvido pela Aquiris Game Studio em 2018, Dandara, um jogo de plataforma e exploração com uma protagonista inspirada na guerreira negra Dandara dos Palmares, desenvolvido pela Long Hat House em 2018, e Blazing Chrome, um jogo de ação e tiro que homenageia os clássicos do gênero, desenvolvido pela JoyMasher em 2019.

E aí, gostaram de conhecer um pouco mais sobre a história dos games no Brasil? Eu espero que sim, porque eu adorei escrever esse texto para vocês. Se vocês quiserem saber mais sobre esse assunto, vocês podem pesquisar na web se tiverem mais curiosidades.

I am looking for my father in his friends, in his cassetes, in old pictures of him, really old - long before me, long before my mother, in this weird band he liked, in the tales of his colleagues, everywhere but where he actually is.

I'm trying to piece together a portrait of a man I don't really know, a man he had been before he was my father. The picture is blurry and fragile, like watercolor on thin paper. It is made of his reflections, fragments of unreliable human memory and everything he has left me. I look for him in my face, in my voice and my ability to drink anyone under the table, in my taste in music and film, in my harshness and also this little something I'd like to keep undiagnosed.

I'm sewing all of it together, with my (his, really) unsteady hands and myopic eyes, trying to keep it all together with my desperate and crude stitches, trying to get a somewhat accurate form tracing nothing but a shape, a silhouette, a shadow.

I look for him everywhere but where I can always find him. I don't want to go there. Haven't been there in a year now, actually.
