1, 6, 8 for Fabien

1 - what’s the maximum amount of time your character can sit still with nothing to do?

probably about two seconds. every one of the bahorel kids has adhd and it helps that fabien grows up on a farm where there's Always something to do, but he's not very good at coping with nothing

6 - do they consider laws flexible, or immovable?

flexible. not as flexible as bahorel himself, but he looks up to bahorel and he's stressed their mother out no end following after him

8 - what were they told to stop/start doing most often as a child

stop running in the house, stop throwing things, start being more productive - none of them are flagged as having adhd as kids and fabien gets the brunt of the frustration of their parents in childhood

i like to think because he became a prince so young poo disavowed all things "childish" and suppressed his emotions so that they wouldn't get the better of him when it came to important decision making, so when he joined ness and co he didn't really know how to behave his age and it led to everyone in the party just kinda feeling bad for him

[bonetrousledbones]

ok so its been a month and i have somehow not seen jack shit about the new egg things until literally right now and i am losing my entire goddamn mind and a little pissed about it because i’m genuinely almost fully convinced now that papyrus is behind that tree

because what do you fucking mean this egg man:

speaks in all caps

without an asterisk

in an area called “MAN COUNTRY” with an npc that mentions working out

with an island called “FORGOTTEN ISLAND” where another npc mentions that they forgot him

and all of his dialogue talks about people forgetting him

including a line where he says sometimes he even forgets himself

in conclusion i feel like i am going to Detonate

Lord Morpheus x Fem!OC (Ophelia) PROLOGUE: homeward bound -> CHAPTER INDEX

not my gift, credits to the owner.

English is not my first language, sorry for the mistakes but be nice about it!

Summary: The Dream Lord needs to make a desperate attempt to save you, his beloved raven, from your lethal injuries after you rescue him from his cage.

Warnings: angst. blood. injuries. season 1, ep 1.

Word count: 1.4K

-

Rough but warm robes under your injured small body, a sky with orange undertones, a storm of black sand around you both.

And his hand holding you steady against his beating heart.

As if he knew, it was your sweetest and only joy.

Your consoling prize.

You haven’t seen a friendly face in so long, that despite the pain— you croak out for Lucienne.

She’s kneeling beside you both, a hopeful smile on her face as she sees Morpheus “Sire” she whispers, and then her eyes land on you “You brought him home,” she rasps out, emotional.

And your small tired heart sings.

You remember pain, you remember longing and then — him.

He is found.

“Lucienne” his voice is soft, and happy. His whole chest vibrates under you, and you find comfort in the incredible burst of emotion he’s letting out.

And then, with urgency “Little bird” he croaks out, allowing Lucienne to help him sit on the black sand shore outside the walls of the Dreaming.

He’s got you cradled against his chest, hands stained in your blood that’s sticking your beautiful black feathers together. 

“My Lord” Lucienne calls for him.

“They were bloodthirsty” he breathes mindlessly out to her, eyes still on you.

“My Lord,” she calls again, urgent “could you—”

“I’m not what I used to be” he cradles you closer.

You knew what this meant. 

For there was not fixing the damage they brought upon you, and your small body would never survive the injuries. 

He looks down on you, utterly gutted. The twinkle that shone in his eyes when he first saw you in that wretched home now replaced by tears— his nursing heart now slowly craving vengeance.

And still, love in all this premature grief.

“There’s another way” 

Lucienne, no you will to her.

But your Lord King’s eyes are on her in an instant, “Your magic remains intact within her spell bounding her to this form—” the librarian reminds him.

Lucienne, allow me to go this way you plea again, for she's the only one you would dare to protest against.

But she ignores your voice in her head, for she’s as desperate as Morpheus to not let go.

To claw at you.

And for a moment, you wished he would've left you behind in the Burgess manor.

“— find your strength in her” Lucienne pleads, kneeling beside her Lord.

Morpheus looks down at you.

And you croak out desperate.

I beg you, my Lord— my Dream, please. I would rather die than to never fly again.

“My little bird” he breathes out “Are you quite sure this is how you wish to meet your end?” he inquires softly, his hands vibrating with the need to bring you back to health.

His eyes a desperate, sad thing.

“Is this the way you wish to leave me?”

And you would accuse him of not playing fair, if not for how raw his whisper came out.

To roam the Dreaming as a human girl again, to lose all your magic—

Or for Morpheus to lose you altogether.

Closing your eyes.

Taking a last breath.

Do as you must, my Lord.

So, naturally, he does.

Weaving his magic, you had an instant doubt whether this was going to hurt which was quickly answered when a searing pain cut through your wings and spread all over your body. His hand took all the gold sand he had poured in you all that millennia ago, to craft you into something he desperately needed— companionship.

Years, decades, centuries. They all flowed out of you and into the palm of his hand. 

And then, you were left naked and shivering in his embrace as a mortal once again. Chest heavy, and head dizzy. The sun burning down on you, and the sand sticking to your skin as you shift uncomfortable against him.

You could hear Lucienne sighing, but still feel your injury pounding.

“There” Morpheus murmurs, a fist around the sand on his hand as he slowly let’s it fall on top of your shoulder.

His magic returns to you without a second thought to spare it.

You felt the sting of the sand on your skin, nursing you back to health in a matter of seconds.

To be human again.

Now you remember what it was like.

To be human was to be in pain.

You sit up straighter, realizing your position between Morpheus’ thighs. Still being cradled against him. 

Shame crawling into you, making it’s home in your heart.

“I’m sorry, My Lord” you whisper softly, voice no different from before as your head falls on his shoulder.

He looks down on you, hand on your bloodstained but healed shoulder— hand cold but comforting “You have done nothing to wrong me, my darling creature” Morpheus breaths out “You’ve found me, you've shown me a way out”

“I won’t be of any use in your quest to nurse the Dreaming back into health, not without my wings” you whisper.

A creeping anxious thought: you were a liability now.

He looks at your eyes for a moment, then to the door to his realm “You’re far from useless,” he says, his silky voice shining through “Your presence alone will be a source of comfort for the people of the Dreaming” he shifts his gaze to Lucienne then.

“Come, my dear” the librarian urges you softly, offering her hands to you.

Standing up was no easy task, your legs were unused and wobbly— and you catched Lucienne smiling a bit too much at your struggle. 

But then, Morpheus’s hands are steadying you as he stands next. Cold but firm. Soft, and yet the palms of a creator. His coat fall on your naked figure, warm and vibrating in stardust. Nebulas surrounding you as you make yourself small under it. 

His eyes bore into your face, and you feel the need to touch it. 

You find only skin.

“I can barely remember what my face looks like” you croak out, looking at your own hands.

“It has been a long time,” he murmurs, his voice low “I had almost forgotten how beautiful you used to be in this form” he nods.

You feel shy under his gaze, a bit intimidated. 

It was easier being a bird, you decide— nobody asked a bird to be beautiful.

You watch as he walks towards the entrance to the Dreaming.

And wish you could prevent what’s to come once those doors open up for him.

It’s heartbreak, and it’s anger— and it’s all the things you wished you could spare your Lord from feeling.

The fall of the Dreaming, the crumbling of it’s tragic and fragile fabric: The palace giving out under an unforgiving sun, drought allowing all the vegetation die of thirst. The air you once soared across now tasted of sulfur, and sandstorms roared strong and true.

Wasteland.

A mirror of The Fulcrum, Destruction's realm.

You watch his steps falter until they stop. 

“What has happened here?” he inquires more to himself than to either of you.

“My Lord,” Lucienne takes a step closer, he doesn’t turn to her call “you’re the Dreaming, the Dreaming is you” she reminds him softly, almost apologetically “With you gone as long as you were— it all began to decay”

“And it’s residents?” he inquires, now turning.

Astonishment and incredulously written all over his face.

You step closer now, too, his stars flowing at your feet— his coat probably the last bit of magic on this plane. Merely an echo.

“We are who remains” he turns his eyes to you, “Most have—”

“Left me” he croaks out, turning once again towards his crumbling palace.

“Some have gone to seek for you—” Lucienne starts, trying to save him the disappointment.

“And yet, only Ophelia has come to my aid” he points out, looking back at your now human form “What of the others?” he asks, anger seeping through his words, looking back at his librarian.

“Some,” she sighs “thought you grew weary of your duties and,—”

“Abandoned them?” he finishes for her, putting words in her mouth she would never say “Have they so very little faith in me?” he wonders, heartbroken “Do my own subjects not know me?” he inquires.

“If I may, my Lord” Lucienne starts, and you need to turn around for which you know will cause him even more anger “It wouldn’t be the first time one of the Endless has—”

The Prodigal, echoes in your mind.

“Enough” he rasps out, a warning.

You sigh, “They prey on the waking world” you let out, only now looking up at him “Nightmares and dreams, all the same” you nod, watching Lucienne start to object.

“We do not know—” 

“I know” you nod “I’ve spent the last hundred years travelling the realms, my Lord. From the Sunlands through Threshold to Hell, looking for you” you reveal “I’ve seen what they’ve been doing in your absence” back at Lucienne “Understanding their reasoning for leaving does reserve my right to approve of it or not taken the fact that it's me who remains— and I strongly suggest you to not jump into their defense as quick as they’ve left us both in here to hold it all together” 

There’s silence after that, a glint on Morpheus’ eyes as he looks back at both of you “I am here now, and I’ll make this right as I once did back when there was only a white sand shore on this realm” he nods, turning once again to his castle “I will nurse the Dreaming back into health”

Lucienne and you looked at each other.

And then followed right after him.

The smell of smoke lingered in the air after the dropship crashed onto earth. Another chance. With resources scarce on the ark, the leaders had run out of solutions, only one: send 100 juvenile prisoners to the ground to see whether Earth is survivable or not. Considering the fact that Paige wasn’t melting from radiation, she’d put good money on the fact that it is.

The dropship door opened, and Bellamy Blake urged his younger sister to do the honors. Paige had heard stories about her, the girl under the floor. The ark had strict rules; resources thinning throughout the years meant each family was only allowed to have one child, so when Octavia was born, her mother had no choice but to hide the girl in her stateroom, in the small space under the floor. When the council found out, Bellamy and Octavia’s mom was floated, in other words, ejected into space.

Paige unbuckled herself, standing up and grabbing her backpack. She made her way towards the dropship door.

Octavia stepped out of the dropship, taking a deep breath, opening her eyes, and shouting “We’re back, bitches!” Hollers come from those around them as everyone leaps into their new home. Leaving their past behind.

Paige diverges from the group, finding an opening and pulling out her map. Mount Weather, their source of supply, was a good 20 miles straight ahead, on the other mountain peak. “Why so serious, P?” Lillie questioned. Paige’s best friend since first grade, Lillie was like the sister Paige never had. “You see that mountain over there, Lils?” Paige pointed. Lillie nodded, “That’s Mount Weather, meaning there’s a radiation-soaked forest in between us and our next meal.” Lillie groaned in frustration, dragging her hand over her face in disbelief while muttering, “They dropped us on the wrong damn mountain.”

Paige scouts for volunteers to take the hike with her and Lillie. She can hear bickering coming from behind her: Bellamy and Octavia, no doubt. Something about Octavia not wanting to be controlled anymore. Lillie approaches Paige with two guys, thrown in jail for stealing weed. Monty Green and Jasper Jordan smiled and waved to Paige. Paige felt empathetic for the boys. Their crime was nothing like some people down here, including her. Granted, it was justified. Paige was charged with attempted murder, defending Lillie against her abusive, now (ex) boyfriend. 

“Have room for one more?” Octavia tapped Paige’s shoulder. Paige’s braided half-up-half-down hitting Octavia’s face as she whipped herself around. Octavia backed up in retaliation. “I’m sorry about that,” Paige said, smoothing her hand over her own hair. Octavia forced a smile, stepping closer. “Okay then, let's get moving.” They wandered off into the forest. Paige glanced at Lillie, nodding before following Octavia.

Paige and Lillie walked side by side, taking in all the greenery they were stripped of on the ark. The vibrant colors provided a fresh and comforting feeling compared to the dull greys of their past home in the sky.

“Soooo what’s gonna happen with you and Ivy?” Lillie broke the silence. Ivy. A girl that Paige had been seeing on the ark before she got arrested, a casual friends-with-benefits type of ordeal. Paige scoffed, holding her backpack straps as she jumped over a log. “I don’t know. We got the whole sky separating us now.” Lillie shrugged. “The sky’s the limit, I guess.” Paige rolled her eyes at her friend’s attempt at a joke.

Monty quickly shushed the girls, ushering them over. “Look.” The group watched carefully. A deer. The first sign of life they had found since crashing from the sky. They all smiled with excitement. They’d never seen an animal in real life before, let alone so close. Jasper took a step closer. A branch broke in the result, gasping, he looks up. The deer was alarmed, thrashing its head to locate the source of the noise.

Everyone stumbles backwards at the sight that's revealed to them. A second head.

-

“A result of the radiation, definitely,” Monty reasons, still shaken up by the distorted animal. Continuing to follow the map, the sound of water floods their senses before they can see it. Emerging from the forest, they see that a river separates the two forests. “Something’s wrong, there’s not supposed to be a river here.” Paige states, eyebrows furrowing. “Well, I’m not trying to find out what could be in the water, are you guys?” Lillie asks. “Yeah, I’m cool off that.” Paige says, looking around for something to use to get across.

A perfect vine, long enough to get everybody across, one by one. Paige climbs the rock, dry hands pulling the vine to check its durability. “Seems good enough to me.” Paige gets herself ready, anchoring herself to the vine, an inch away from pushing off the rock, when Jasper yells, “Wait! Let me.” Paige is puzzled, looking to Lillie for answers; Lillie nods her head to Octavia. Paige had been completely oblivious to Jasper's growing crush on the girl.

“A’ight then, try not to fall in the water.”  Paige hands off the vine to the boy, bug-eyed goggles sat on his forehead, fingers fidgeting with nervousness in his fingerless gloves. Eager to impress Octavia, he takes a deep breath, then swings.

Cheers exclaim from the group, excitement overtaking their senses. Jasper lands safely on the other side, the vine bouncing back to Paige. Once again, she grips the vine, ready. Jasper lifts something above his head, “Guys! We made it!” Paige’s eyes move faster than she can register, reading the beat-up sign, somehow having survived three generations, it read: Mount Weather. The middle area was unreadable, but the bottom clearly said: Keep Out. Paige was about to cut through Jasper's yelling, wanting to tell him about the clear warning on the sign, when something cut him off before she could. A large spear, thrown with unimaginable accuracy, right through his chest, throwing him into the tree behind him. The group called out his name in disbelief. Paige removed her hands from covering her mouth, opting to quiet everyone down. 

One thing was for sure,

they weren’t alone.

[9151967]

The thing that is still getting to me about TMP is how it as much about Spock's acceptance of himself and the unknowable (because logic is that which can be known, logic seeks to know but not necessarily understand) as it is about the Triumvirate learning that they cannot be separated, that they each need each other to be at their best, both as civilians and within Starfleet.

Kirk accepts a promotion out of active service and into the admiralty and the trio falls apart. McCoy protests his decision and Starfleet's choice to offer/push the promotion and leaves the service entirely. Spock leaves the service as well and returns to Vulcan to undergo the Kolinahr as a means to protect himself - from a future pon farr, prove his Vulcan nature rules out over his hybrid status (his main point of conflict/shame, always), and forget those illogical humans that brought emotions out of him now that he will be living among other Vulcans. It was a logical decision for him to make, but he has been irrevocably changed from the five year mission more than he would like to admit (another point of shame and regret).

Kirk doesn't fully come back into the captaincy until Spock returns. He is still mired by doubts owing to the Enterprise's new design, his years out of space, and Decker's presence as a living symbol of Kirk's own decision to leave the Enterprise as Kirk chose Decker to be his successor. (There's a lot to be said about how Kirk projects these fears and doubts onto Decker, how Decker is a parallel to Kirk as Ilia is a parallel to Spock, but that's ultimately what Kirk is struggling against - he chose to leave (albeit with a healthy dose of manipulation as per Roddenberry's novelization; I'm torn about how Roddenberry wrote that in because while it does make sense for how Starfleet could still operate if humans on Earth are so open-minded and peaceful, it detracts from making it Kirk's own choice when TOS has shown that Kirk has made mistakes, has acted selfishly, cannot stand being told what to do or have his authority challenged, not even by McCoy or Spock). He chose his successor. But he was miserable in an Earthbound life and trying to come back to it all - to "return home again" or repeat the past - is something that is not possible to do, no matter how much one wants it. Even the ship he knew and loved is no longer the same. The Enterprise Kirk knew exists only in his memories.)

McCoy acts more as Kirk's doctor than his friend until Spock returns, and rightfully so given the profile he had compiled on him, in addition to Chapel's profile when she acted as the CMO (I love that the novelization makes it clear that she happily gave the position back to McCoy because it meant handing Kirk over to someone who knows how to get through to him, lol. Pour one out for Christine Chapel for taking on the worst job). There are moments that show they have made up or at least called truce, but this McCoy is through with using alcohol to loosen Kirk up to his suggestions and just presses forward with his observations and recommendations, no matter how harsh they may be, to the point of outwardly saying that Kirk may not be fit for command due to his obsession with returning to and keeping the Enterprise. They've bucked heads before in the series over Kirk's behavior and decisions, but this is occurring after they haven't seen each other in years. Time may have passed but the wounds heal slow. (I wonder how much of it felt like a betrayal to McCoy for Kirk to go his own way - a betrayal of McCoy's expertise, a betrayal of Kirk's own skills, a betrayal of their relationship because neither McCoy or Spock can follow him into the higher ranks.)

There's a lot to be said about Kirk acting as the fulcrum that links McCoy and Spock together - who else could bridge that gap between their guiding philosophies, unite two people who are ultimately the same coin but working from different sides (doctor versus scientist) - so when he leaves, the other two leave as well. But TMP shows Spock bringing them back together to the way they were, even before he melds with V'ger and learns that logic is not enough. Spock brings out their humanity, be it by the memories he conjures or in reaction to his new Kolinahr-inspired distance.

[alinethered]

it would be really cool with the next two chapters coming out on pride month if we got any "Actual" "Official" confirmation of Kris being nb (yeah you can figure that out simply by Playing The Game, but as the whole Bridget situation proved a character can straight up state their gender and people will still doubt it), unfortunately Toby Fox is a bit of a coward and his writing style doesn't really allocate for Bluntness (like he stated regarding the EarthBound Halloween Hack about how just Straight Up Saying it would have been "pretty lame"), so I think it's unlikely it will ever happen.

[21st-century-ninja]

art reposter

So up front!! This is not intended as a call to dogpile, harass, or bully op. I just wanted to make an awareness post, because I saw people on my dash reblogging their works who didn't seem to be aware that the art was stolen. Just block and/or don’t interact with them and move on with your life, yk?

Anyway @sophia336 posted a fic called Earthbound last night (link). A cool premise where Cole merges with the earth in MotM, right? The only problem here is that they also posted artwork along with it, artwork which, by the watermark at the bottom left, seems to belong to a Mr. Essy.

Okay, I thought. So maybe they have two usernames for art, for personal use, etc. but going to their blog revealed no more art with that watermark on it.

So I searched it up in a couple of minutes and found the original artwork as, indeed, belonging to Mr. Essy over on instagram. (Link)

Okay. So the art belongs to Mr. Essy. Maybe they got permission to post it, even there was no mention of “The art isn’t mine, art belongs to Mr. Essy, etc” on the post.

But here it is again, and with a different artist.

(sophia336 link)(usagi haruka’s insta link)

Again, this took me two minutes of googling to find.

(Both of these artists appear to be non-native English speakers, which isn’t necessarily a pattern of anything, just something I noticed.)

Okay. So they’ve reposted art without credit or seemingly permission. Maybe they don’t know any better.

I found this post, though, on their blog from May of 2022 that suggests they have been made aware that this behavior is harmful.

(link)

For the third time, it took me two minutes of googling to find these artists I'd not heard of before. In the aforementioned May 2022 post, sophia336 wrote "All art isn't mine" in the description. In their ninjago posts, it seems that they never make a claim either way.

Tl;Dr: Sophia336 reposts art with their (as far as I can tell and have no reason to doubt) original fanfics. They are aware that this behavior is harmful and not what should be done.

And I get where they're coming from! Honestly I do! As a fellow fanfic writer, it can be really disheartening to see artwork getting more love than fanfic, even when the same amount of effort went into both. From what I read of their fics, they've got really great writing skill. I just wish they didn't feel the need to use stolen art to get views.

[not-a-ducc]

There is no evidence that Lucas Mother 3 can swim.

So ever since I played Mother 3 one thing that always stood out to me is the Sea Floor Dungeon.

It's notable for many reasons, but I always found it funny that, rather than taking a boat or even just swimming, the party just walks on the sea floor all the way to a small island. Then recently I started thinking, wait, can any of these guys swim?

I mean at the very least these guys can, this is a body of water large enough for a huge snake and a big ol' pile of bones, so there's no way they're not floating here.

The most common instances of seeing Lucas in water are these hot spring sections. It's not clear how deep these even go, they could all be only as deep as we see them, Lucas could just be standing in there and the spring is only deep enough for his head to poke out.

It's possible they ARE deeper, however. As Flint and other adult characters can stand in them with their heads still sticking out, though it's notable that pre-time skip Fuel pictured here has their head partially submerged. Lucas also gets submerged into a hot spring in Chapter 4, however here he's somewhat hunched over, so the true depth of the hot springs is still unclear.

While not a scene where Lucas is visibly in water, it's worth noting that in Chapter 1, no one ever specifically says they found the twins swimming down or up the river, they were just floating in it. Granted they likely were unconscious while this was happening, but I still wanted to include this for completion's sake.

Also there's the Hippo Reserve in the Empire Porky Building where Lucas is almost the same height as the hippos so I doubt the water is that deep here.

This is the last scene I wanted this point out here. This is an un-used scene of Lucas and Claus taking a dip in the water found in a scrapped Attract Mode sequence. It's notable cause this is the only scene in the entire game where Lucas is definitively shown SWIMMING, but it’s un-used, so does it even count? Is it even canon? I mean, technically not I suppose, but there's nothing in these Attract Mode scenes that contradicts anything from the main game. How should un-used and beta content factor into how we discuss these games? Mother 3 famously had a tumultuous development with tons of content gutted from it's story. Not all of it fits into the game we eventually got, but a lot of it still can fill in the blanks present in the main game. But none of this content is present in the main game, so have valuable is it in discussion? Is it wrong to dismiss these removed scenes and subplots because they were part of the team's original vision? How should we continue to analyze this game's development if, for all intents and purposes, we're looking at un-finished and un-refined versions of the final art piece? Is it a more pure version of the art by being un-sullied by creative and hardware restrictions, or does that un-finished nature make it less deserving of analysis? I mean realistically I don't think any of what I've said should devalue Earthbound 64 or any other work in progress versions of art. Seeing the process of creation unfold is just as interesting and worth preservation and analysis as the finalized art itself. I don't think it's wrong to bring in elements from Earthbound 64 for headcanons or to fill in the gaps of Mother 3's story, hell it's damn near necessary sometimes it feels like, I just think it's important to acknowledge that changes and revisions are just a given in any story based medium. It's not always an artist's intent getting neutered, sometimes an artist might just change their mind, or need to have certain ideas reeled back in for the sake of keeping the work cohesive. Anyways what was this post about? Oh yeah Lucas probably can swim he just is never seen doing it in the final game.

[nanaten]

HEYYY!! I love you art so much it’s so cute you’re def my fav earthbound artist!! I saw you liked nesspaula and I wanted to ask if you have some head cannons about them they’re my favs ship!!! Also any opinions about jefftony?? I love em>:3

HELOOOOOO !! sorry im responding to this so late, ive only just realized i had so many asks ��😭

I do like nesspaula!! i think they’re so cute! as for headcanons, i don’t think i have many interesting ones, but i’ll give you a few little ideas i have about them!

- Ness doesn’t really understand how he feels about her for a long time. he likes her, alot, but he doesn’t really understand what that entails. like, “i like her, but what do i do with this information?”. it’s only in his mid-to-late teens he realizes that his feelings for her are something he should act upon; that he loves her, and wants to be in a relationship with her.

- when he tells her, he imagines it to be like the romance films his mom likes, but it isn’t. Paula is overjoyed, there’s no doubt about that, but the first thing she says is “Oh my god, it took you long enough!” all exasperated like, lol. it mortified ness at the time but now it’s something he tells everyone when they ask about their relationship (“Oh god, you’ll never guess how we got together— Paula said—“ “NOOOO”)

- Paula is slightly taller than him. By a few inches. You’d think that’d bother ness, but no. He loves his slightly taller wife. (they’re both regular height overall though. 5’7 and 5’9 respectively)

- Ness is really warm, and paula appreciates it. Due to her PSI, her hands are often cold and numb to the degree the tips of her fingers and blue. Thankfully Ness is a space heater, so he’ll take her hands and warm her up :]

also i like jefftony!! i think they would be very funny and chaotic. to describe their dynamic in my head it’s like this

[sacredartist33013]

So when you're friends with @brightlotusmoon there is one topic and thing that'll probably always be near the front of your mind(at least for me) and that would be psionics. And... Well if you're me then you might fall into a mini research rabbit hole for psychics. And then you might morice some patterns between all the psychics you see in tv shows or on tv shows about psychics. I noticed 3 big ones specifically

#1:relations to ghosts or spirits

Whether it be a burger loving spirit medium always arrested for murder or a troubled girl in a world scared of ghosts(for very good reason) so badly that they cultivate psychic skills at a very young age, it seems to be the second most common type of pattern for most psychics. Whether it be working against them or siding with them you'll find maybe a good 30 to 40% of media psychics being involved with the world of ghosts. Whether they're a real or fake psychic.

Shows like mob psycho 100 and lockwood and co give us an expansive amount of people all over with some spirit sensing power or having a connection to ghosts. Or it could be focusing on specific groups of psychics like the ace attorney series heavily using spirit mediums(particularly coming back over and over again to the fey family) or even ghostbusters frozen empire introducing the idea of a firemaster(someone who has telekinetic control over fire and is even able to build upon an existing flame no matter how small... Even if they have very little training as seen in the movie) like i said this is the second most common psychic i see being used... Then what's the biggest one? Well that would be

#2 being or working with detectives

Psychic People who either are detectives,or work with or for detectives is without a doubt the biggest pattern I've seen. And it's mostly a medium but you sometimes also get the clairvoyant and precognitive ones as well. Your psychic detectives,your dead boy detectives(crystal was the only psychic in the show but we didn't get all the time we could have) your psychic kids and your psychic investigations. Your dead files(the one my mom remembers us watching) and any ghost hunter/ghost investigator show or movie has a 50/50 chance of including a psychic.

And you definitely have your stand alone psychics in certain shows like crystal place in deadboy detectives or amy in dead files.

I'd say a good 40 to 50% of tv show psychics are psychics working with detectives or are detectives themselves. But that's only 70 to 90% of the equation... What about the rest? That's covered by

#3 the unchained

Odd title for this category but it's for the psychics who aren't bound on their shows as working with spirits or working with detectives. But still having psychic powers. Your x men psychics and your general non specialized psychics if you will.people like jean grey and the slew of marvel psychics, or all the espers of mob psycho 100,the psychonauts from well... Psychonauts, or the psionic system of earthbound. Or even shows with only heavy focus on solo characters/a tiny handful like raven Simone or the halliwell sisters prue and Phoebe who had powers related to telekinesis and seeing the future.or how could i forget my recent favorite divination expert lilia calderu(okay so lilia is a witch but so are prue and phoebe. But she ran a psychic shop so she's a technicality) People who have psychic power and can(and usually do) use it for good. But it's not always the case I'm afraid.

Hmm... I kinda wish i had a few more examples for each of these category of patterns. I'm satisfied with this but still.

May you all enjoy my little post... And hey if you got any Psychic shows or notable psychics to add to a certain category im not against seeing what you all find

I have streamed Omori for the past three Sundays and normally I don't talk about my streams as I already played these games. But this is a blind playthrough and I wanna yap about the game here. So first thing first: NO SPOILERS PLEASE! I want to uncover the mystery myself. You can give me gameplay tips, but story spoilers are absolutely OFF the table.

So, I love how the game started kinda ominous, and in this white room and you can look at the sketch book full of vent art and the ominous strange journal on the laptop... And then you go through the door, and everything is happy go lucky, whimsical and fun! It reminds me a lot of Earthbound. Omori has friends that love him and everything is so cute ^^ Of course I wasn't thinking that it stayed like this. I also did notice early on that Omori is monochrome while everyone else is in colour. So we follow Basil to his house and then the mystery begins. And boom, the game does a masterful shift to Sunny, basically telling us that what we just experienced was an escapist fantasy. And that Omori is actually Sunny, a deeply depressed (?) teenage boy who apparently hasn't left the house in years. (I have to mention, the first time I came back and wandered around the white space, not finding an exit, I opened the menu, noticed the stab option and freaked out about it. I have this all on video. It felt like a LOT and I was like "Oh my god, he really is doing this!")

Well, and then... well, we are going back to escapism world, searching for Basil, going to a Junkyard, fighting funny enemies (the Dial Up modem cracked me up), and having a killer boss fight against Space Ex-Boyfriend with a killer OST, like, woah, I liked the music before, but this was the moment where I thought "This SLAPS!" And then Sunny is awake again, and anyone who had doubts now knows this is like an escapism fantasy... And now comes the part that hit me the most. Seeing the friends in real life. Kel is trying very hard to connect but his scatterbrainedness makes him a bit of a neglectful friend (convinced he has ADHD tbh). Aubrey is a straight up bully. Like, this one HURT! What happened to the happy and cheerful girl when she was 12?! Hero is absent, at college. And I have the feeling Hero WAS the glue holding the group together... And Basil, oh Basil, I felt for you so much. He's so scared and anxious, something terrible happened to him and he must be deeply traumatized about it... Like, I didn't expect that a game that has a fun boss battle against an enemy called Space-Ex-Boyfriend to be so deep and give me so many feels just 10 minutes later, you know?

MAWS s2 thoughts before the finale:

I’ve been thinking over what we’ve seen of Krypton this season. Mostly how, even though it feels like a lot, we haven’t actually seen much at all.

Notably, most of the information we have received about Krypton is actually sourced from Brainiac, which- well. Brainiac is a certified liar, or at the very least, has a very skewed perspective of Krypton and what it was supposed to be. I do not doubt that Krypton was at one point a warmongering planet that benefited off of others’ suffering (Jor-El’s account backs this up,) but dialogue from Brainiac in 2x08 suggests that, towards the end at least, Krypton was moving away from this and pursuing a more peaceful existence.

(Speculatively, this could have angered some Kryptonians ((it’s been 20-something years and Brainiac still sounds pissed off about it)) and instigated a coup that then led to the attempted invasions against Darkseid/Apokolips and Earth, and we know how that went.)

The images we see of Krypton show the Kryptonians with superpowers on their home planet. But we don’t? Actually know? If that’s completely true?? Because it seems strange that the show would have this, but keep the red sun weakness. Did Krypton not have a red sun in this universe?

Pushing on that, the images of that Krypton are from the Black Mercy, which Kara outright states is Brainiac’s domain. The world Clark is trapped in is based off of the one Kara shows him in 2x05, but we don’t actually know where that vision originated from. It couldn’t have come from Kara, because she was also an infant when Krypton was destroyed and would have no natural memory of it. So whose memory is that? Is it a memory at all? How do we know Brainiac didn’t tamper with it?

(Like in all likelihood it was just a throwaway line, but my brain keeps getting stuck on Clark noticing Ma and Pa’s doppelgängers in Kara’s Krypton, and I keep wondering if maybe that was a result of Clark’s subconscious infecting the simulation because it isn’t an actual, tangible memory, but Kara doesn’t seem to notice anything unusual with the memory so maybe I’m stuck on nothing.)

More on that, is how all of this interacts with what we see of Krypton from Jor-El’s memories. Admittedly he gives us very little, but the contrast is pretty stark. And maybe it’s just because the planet was mere moments from exploding, but the Krypton we see back in 1x02 is a wreck, in very stark contrast to the peaceful paradise that was Krypton’s Last Days as shown in 2x05. Even more notably, neither Lara nor Jor-El do anything superhuman in Jor-El’s account. Think about that. They are rushing to save their infant son’s life, but they aren’t using flight or super speed: they are very much earthbound.

Now to be fair, there’s another explanation. Krypton was already a spacefaring civilization before the fall, so they definitely discovered how their biology reacted to different suns. Maybe they created some kind of device that could simulate the yellow sun on Krypton (like the red solar shielding around Cadmus in s1) that “blessed” all Kryptonians with superpowers; and then this device was damaged/shut off in the time before the planet’s destruction.

Like it could be both: the above point being true and Brainiac still omitting/manipulating things about how Krypton was, maybe to better preserve his idea of what it should have been.
