how mc and sayori started dating?

Monika: Ok everyone! That's going to be it for it today. See you all tomorrow!

*Yuri starts packing her things and not long after goes home. Meanwhile MC and Natsuki start talking about the manga volume they just read. Monika starts tidying the room up and Sayori, unmoving, stays in her desk, resting her head on her hands*

Sayori: Hey Moni.

*Monika looks over to her sensing her serious tone.*

Sayori: I think I'm going to confess to MC.

Monika, shocked: O-oh! That's, uh, good to hear...

Sayori: Yeah, I think it's kinda overdo.

Monika: What brought on this surge of nonchalant inspiration?

Sayori: I think I'm starting to feel like I'm kinda ok with who I am now? I think. And the main thing that made me not want to confess to him was the fact it was going to be lose-lose no matter what, I didn't feel I deserved to be loved by him if by some chance he likes and I would feel like I would lose everything if I lost him. But now, I'm not that afraid.

Monika: Oh, I gues that makes sense.

Sayori: Yeah, and I mean don't get me wrong I'm still scared that he might not want to be my friend anymore when he rejects me.

Monika: Hey, don't say that, I actually suspect he feels the same.

Sayori: Hmmm, I dunno...

*Sayori quickly stands up*

Sayori: Welp, wish me luck.

Monika: Wait, you're doing it right now?

Sayori: Yep! I'll tell you how it went tonight.

*Before Monika could say another word Sayori grabs her bag and runs towards the class closet.*

Sayori: Heyyy, sorry Natsuki, but could I borrow MC?

Natsuki: Uh, s-sure?

MC: Could you give me a moment Sayori? We were talking right now, it's not gonna take a lo-

Sayori, putting on her puppy eyes and grabbing his hand: Please? I really need to talk to you.

MC, hiding his blush: Uh.

*He sighs*

MC: Sorry Natsuki, we can continue were we left off once I get home, ok?

Natsuki, already packing her things: Yeah, sure, whatevs. I had already said it was ok.

Sayori: Great!

*She grabs him by arms and pulls him away, rushing towards the exit.*

Sayori: We'll see you two tomorrow.

*Sayori pulled MC all the way towards a vending machine in which they have been recently been eat luch next to. MC doesn't complain as he's grown used to this by now.*

MC sighs: Let me guess, you rushed me out because you were hungry and wanted me to invite you something to eat.

Sayori, putting some coins in the vending machine: Um, not quite.

*She takes out 2 drinks, a strawberry milk and a coke. She hands MC the coke.*

MC: Oh, uhm thanks.

*Sayori takes a seat in a bench and pats next to her. MC complies and sits down there.*

MC: What's up?

*Sayori stays uncharacteristically quiet, until she finds the words she's looking for.*

Sayori, softly: Could you please promise me that no matter what I say today, we'll always be best friends?

MC, worriedly: Uh, of course Sayori.

*Sayori sighs as her eyes tear up, she faces MC*

Sayori: I-I really like you. A-A lot, I-I think I like you more than you like me...

*MC sits there stunned,not sure what he should say. So many thinks rushed through his head like a tidal wave of emotions and memories hitting him at once. His mind was rushing in disorder, until a single thought came to his mind, one that cleared away all others.*

MC: I like you too.

Sayori: No dummy! I mean like, I love you, romantically!

MC, trying to stay calm for Sayori: I, uh, I-I love you too.

*Sayori sits there, staring at the ground unable to fully accpet the words that he just uttered. MC starts hidnig his face in his jacket. Sayori then turns over to him.*

Sayori: Y-You do?

MC: Of course dummy. After all the things we've been through how could I not?

*Sayori unable to contain her joy jumps on MC giving him a hug as she vibrates from excitement*

Sayori,k smiling wildly: Y-Y-You really mean it!?

MC: Y-Yeah...

Sayori: Oh my- Can I kiss you?

MC: Uh, what?

Sayori: Can I kiss you? Please? I really want to kiss you.

MC: Uh-oh, um, y-y-y-y-yeah? I think I would like that too.

*Sayori lunges foward, grabbing him by the back of head as they both slightly open their mouths to kiss each other. Their lips fit in with each other like puzzle pieces as they both hold each other as close as they can, just feeling each others warmth. Eventually they pull away.*

MC: W-wow. I didn't think I could fall for you anymore, but you're such a great kisser.

Sayori: Ehehehe, stop you dummy. You're just saying that.

MC: I'm not.

Sayori: Well, if you really mean that.

*She pulls him in closer to her, as if to initiate another kiss, but then suddenly pulls away, standing up from his lap.*

Sayori: We should probably go to my house to continue this, I don't want us to get caught.

MC laughs: You're such a tease. But yeah.

*He stands up and grabs her hand.*

MC: We should probably go.

*and then they go to sayori's house and make out a lot. the end!*

"So there's something I've noticed when I'm walking around campus sometimes. My hearing's kinda sensitive even when I'm not using my stigma--super annoying since I hate noise. But sometimes, even if there's no one around or I can count the people around I hear someone I can't see.

"Not talking but like. Their heartbeat. Or their breathing. Or their footsteps. Or some combination. It's way more obvious when I'm using my stigma but I swear I hear it even without it, if it's quiet enough. Feels like I hear it more if I'm near that gross forest--but it can be anywhere on campus.

"Obviously you'd think it's just one of the cats or some anomaly or whatever but human heartbeats and breathing patterns are different from animals' and anomalies'. Some anomalies can imitate them yeah but this is way too consistent to be some anomaly. There's definitely someone there, especially when it's dark. Creep.

"Thing is I don't think it's me they're after. I think we just happen to be around a lot of the same places. A lot of paths crossing wherever it's interesting, you know? Like we both wanna know what's going on but no one will tell us. So we just figure it out ourselves however we can.

". . .I don't think that Cap or that coiffed up three-eyes would like me getting involved there~ But what choice am I gonna have if they keep leaving me in the dark? Oh, pun! Didn't even catch it.

"If they don't start letting me in on their little game I might have to see if the heartbeat in the shadows would wanna do a collab~ I don't need to hide in the dark, after all. I just need to be close enough to hear--and that really doesn't have to be all that close."

things I wish I could relive for the first time again:

that magical window where you finish a new piece of media, having watched/read it all by yourself with no fandom contact whatsoever, and you are just so happy about it, and full of interesting theories and takeaways, and just in love with it as a gorgeous piece of art.

because I swear to god as soon as you join the fandom for anything, you're bombarded with how you're supposed to view characters and their arcs, how you're supposed to morally and ethically judge the plot and the ways it apparently failed to present the right message, and if you don't you'll either be shunned for not sharing the popular headcanons or you'll be harassed for not criticizing the source material enough.

like how is it that the fans of a piece of media are also the ones being the most negative about it? If I like a show or a movie or a book, well, I liked it. That's kind of the point. I'm actually not here to tear it apart and talk about how it didn't live up to standards other people had! I enjoyed it for what it was, and forcing myself to find negative things to say about it doesn't actually bring me more enjoyment of it or reap any benefit to me. Fandom's a double-edged sword; you want to join a community to share your love for a piece of art, and the price you pay for a modicum of joy is a mountain of negativity. that's one main reason that I never engage with fandom until I'm completely done with a show, because if I was plugged into all of that commentary and discourse during the process, I'd be completely colored by how I'm expected to interpret everything this piece of art is presenting to me without being able to even form my own opinions.

Hello! This is really random I'm sorry. In your recent comic with the toy store shopkeeps, one of them is a bird! Inquiring bird nerds want to know, are they based on a specific species? My first thought was Canada jay but the white outer tail feathers don't match perfectly, and my boyfriend guessed they were some kind of tit! Very curious and would love to hear if you had a specific species in mind for the birdy when designing. :]

I DID! I'm pleased you asked.

Canada Jay's a great guess based on the markings, but he was indeed based on a kind of tit. A Long-Tailed Tit, to be exact!

I knew I wanted to pick a round-shaped bird with this kind of head marking (to evoke male pattern baldness haha), and just looked at different species of birds that live in colder environments until I found one I liked the look of. Not the most precise resemblance (I still need practice drawing birds), but I'm happy that I captured the look well enough that his tit-ness was recognizable.

The 'unreliable narrator' tag on AO3 has to be the most useless tag on the entire website because I don't think I've ever seen a single fic with that tag actually have an unreliable narrator. Every single one of those fics is mistagged.

I love the idea of Irwin "animatedly" doing anything. Somehow I never picture the abrasive, ascetic, brawler colonists as very "animated" characters, but maybe he's just trying to make the lesson engaging for the little guy. I bet Irwin is a great teacher.

Also, yeah, we got a dinosaur. His randomly generated name is Swampy. I have not had the courage to attempt drawing him yet. Dinosaurs are awesome but also very tricky to draw.

Irwin and Andy continued to hang out for a little while, playing with axes as every reasonable adult looking after a three-year-old would do.

But, alas, while teaching the child about mathematics and biology and tree-felling, it appears Irwin's abrasive trait has also been noticed. Kids do learn from example, but I guess nobody told Irwin that.

oh no not people falling for propaganda abt the shooter's alleged politics and handwringing about violence when this one guy and his action have done more to bring people together against the ultra rich ruling class and make them fear working class power than any number of peaceful actions and lukewarm philosophizing in the past 5 years

My brain is so full of Bees about Post-Shift 2.

It's a fan game that was delayed for 4 years -- by the time it released, fnaf fangames as a whole were not as popular as they had been, & most people in the scene had forgotten about Post-Shift 1, so not a lot of people heard about it/played it.

Worse still is the people who did talk about the game. Pretty unanimously, the consensus was this: this game is the craziest, most insane fnaf fangame. It's overly difficult with mechanics that have no rhyme or reason to them & tutorials that are wordy, unhelpful, & sometimes actively mislead the player, meaning you need to comb through a lot of text only to be misinformed. It's not as infamous as some other fangames, but it definitely was talked about very poorly.

In general, I think most of these criticisms were blown up out of proportion, but I can't really disagree with most people's problems -- it is difficult & wordy, & rather hard to understand. I think, however, that the game is still 1. Really fun, 2. Not a bad game at all, &, most importantly, 3. Is a free fucking game that was clearly a passion project. Most damn fangames never get off the fucking ground when made in groups because the creators will never make a red cent off the thing -- this game was made by one dude for 4 years & delivered to people for free. It didn't ask anything of you except to accept it as a difficult game & to not go in with wild expectations. The dev just wanted to make a game that was rough, but he also wanted to make a game that felt unique & was fun. & It is fun, too, is the damn thing.

For the ask game, Anna (Triangle Strategy)?

How I feel about this character One of the most characters of all time, LOVE Anna, my top-MVP and one of my top favorite characters. If I ever have the time, energy, and motivation I'd love to go through every inch of the TriStrat script to analyze her character and write a fanfic about her life. She's simultaneously really cool, but a little bit weird too (why do kids gravitate towards her like, of all the characters in the game she would not have been my guess for "gets along well with kids" and I don't think she would have been her own first choice either). I love her so much, she's such a fun character.

All the people I ship romantically with this character Avlora, and one day I will be able to make that make sense, but for now that ship exists as an abstract concept in my head, and I think if I just let it stew long enough, like a nebula eventually forming stars, I'll get coherent words to explain myself. But for now, trust me, Avlora x Anna has so much potential. Probably.

My non-romantic OTP for this character Love her dynamics with the entirety of House Wolffort, her weird friendships with Rudolf and Trish, her guardian role to Quahaug and Decimal, her mentor-mentee relationship with Archibald, and her frienemies relationship with Milo.

My unpopular opinion about this character Mostly just that I ship her with Avlora instead of Milo, since I know Anna x Milo is a very popular ship, and I get why it would be appealing (two cool spy women), but I find reading the dynamics between Anna and Milo as platonic more interesting than reading them as romantic.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon. I loved Anna's character story and how she finds out about her parents, and how that puts Anna's relationship with Benedict and Erador into a new, and incredibly uncomfortable and awkward light, but we don't get to see the full resolution of that revelation. Like, Anna makes a point of saying she has no interesting in revenge, but surely she must have felt conflicted about the truth--and yet she still chooses Benedict and House Wolffort as her family. That's an incredibly interesting detail about her characterization, and I would have loved to see it followed through to her eventual conversation with Benedict that she alludes to at the end of her second character story. As it is, Anna and Benedict's interactions are very professional throughout the game, so it would have been interesting to see that sort of a personal, more emotional, discussion between the two, since neither is very open about speaking their emotions to others.

🪄 and 🌙 for Tillda please!

Sure thing!

Q: "🪄 (Magic Wand) - Are they capable of wielding magic? Is it a learned skill, or is it innate? What sorts of spells can they cast? Do they possess any magical items or artifacts? [e.g. the Dimensional Mantle]"

A: I headcanon that Taranza's species as a whole (including Tillda) have innate abilities in both plant and web magic (and probably crystal magic too). But that doesn't mean all of them practice or use that magic on a regular basis—Tillda, for example, rarely has a major reason to make webs aside from doing her hair, and she almost never uses her plant magic. So, she's not exactly battle-tested, but she wouldn't hesitate to sling a spell or two in self-defense.

PS: If Taranza's is pink and Sectonia's is golden, I think Tillda's magic aura ought to be purple!

(continued answers + sketches under the cut!)

PPS: It was mostly Tillda that supported Taranza's study of puppeteering magic (which is NOT one of their species' innate abilities). She didn't understand the first thing about it herself, but it was one of the few things that continued to make her little brother genuinely cheerful in the wake of their parents' sudden absence, so… escorting him to puppetry classes and sorcerers' seminars was soon just part of life.

Q: "🌙 (Moon) - Is your OC a particularly light or heavy sleeper? Somewhere in-between? Do they take naps?"

A: I would have to think Tillda is a heavy sleeper. Her job is pretty stressful and she always comes home tired. And she does take naps, but never intentionally…

(To be honest, she probably has chronic fatigue.)
