i missed funky patterns ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ

[thethingything]

shoutout to the funky little melanistic (I think?) carpet beetle I just saw. it had a way darker pattern than the ones we usually see but I'm assuming it's the same species since it was in our room

Today on CHUNK! FUNK! GUNK! We rate

the MORAY EEL:

8/10 Chunk

10/10 Gunk

8/10 Funk

It’s been a long time coming, and anyone who’s been following this blog for any amount of time is well aware of my obsession with these funny wiggly boys.

Moray eels. My beloveds. Look at that girth, high chunk. The slime layer that makes it so that I cannot hug them without a proper wetsuit or fabric layer, absolute gunk. The big squishable cheeks, the weird sticky-out-y tube nostrils, the two mouths, incredibly funky.

Overall: 10/10

Everyone has a selfish dream of what they would do if they won the lottery. Mine is simple: buy a giant saltwater tank and fill it with 3 giant moray eels. (Preferably of different colors/patterns so I can tell them apart)

Everyone also has a dream of channeling their inner Disney Princess with a wild animal: I want to hug a moray eel.

It was my birthday on the 18th, so as a gift to myself, I rate my beloveds.

Another day another LU analysis with me!

Dawn 9 is here and with it the end of the next arc of the LU comic is done!

This update did a lot and is also a full 10 pages long! So there's a bunch to unpack!

As always linked universe belongs to @linkeduniverse and Jojo, I own none of the pictures I'm using and please give the original post some love. It's very well done and I love this comic so much.

You can find the comic here!

Oh, and obviously spoilers for the most recent LU update if you've not looked at it!

Now, checklist. Popcorn, water and time to read half an hour worth of rambling.

Without further ado!

The letters!

So, Twilight, four and Time all appeared to get letters, with Time getting multiple (More on that later)

Twilights reaction to the super sale was my reaction while playing TP (I recently finished it for the first time! :D) when they opend the store in castle town. Every time i couldnt get there to get potions i was low key gutted.

And Four. Four's grandpa is a mood and i hope we get to meet him.

HE

blorbo blorbo blorbo

The master of standing 🧍

Beloved blorbo i love him

Okay im done

(Im not done)

Poor Sky He's so sad about it D:

But... I, as a part of the The team is heading to Skyloft next, team. Believe that Sun has done this on purpose. (Or that the Skyloftians dont have the mail system for him to retrieve anything) but i like to think its the first one.

Hmmm.... Time got multiple letters. (That takes care of the letter discrepancy)

Twi asking about the ranch, Time looking to one of the letters. This tells me one of two things.

The letter he's looking to could be from Malon, and he's genuenly not concerned.

or The letter he's looking at isnt from malon. Infact, by the way he's looking at it i think its from his Zelda. Possibly a report about black bloods in his time period. (As last time we see them in Time's era. They dont actually fight anything)

Twilight being cheeky and Time's dad face are giving me life.

But... as we know, Time is Twilights direct decendant only by a few generations at most. With the infomation we have from Twilight princess with Shade. And from jojo with Time and Twilight. I'm seeing this conversation as more of a father and son conversation over brothers.

And the rest of this conversation follows this same pattern. Twilight is very much being scolded. He's biting back with what he see's as Time's own words. (not that time know's as such)

Twilight looks genuenly shocked to hear this.

From the hero's shade (Time) in twilight princess.

"You may be destined to become the hero of legend...but your current power would disgrace the proud green of the hero's tunic you wear. "

I am screaming

And now im screaming more. Twilight nooooooooooooo

The we care about Twilight's well being gang. Spoiling us with the full body shots againnnnnnn.

Give me more of these three i love them all together.

And I'm convinced that theres going to be something bad happens to time directly after the end of the LU timeline.

Time is missing an eye. So we know that Shade and Time are closer together than the hero of time (In game). SO.... If time dosent Die on the adventure with the chain. I'm almost convinced he does almost right after he returns back to his time.

The armour is almost identical. He has most of the scaring which lines up....

If the helmet turns up, then i think Time dies during this adventure. It's the only thing i can see as missing.

Twilight.... Now i think Twilight thinks that the gods are giving him an opportunity to save the hero of time from dying to become the heros shade. but thats the funky thing about timetravel.

(Depending on how Jojo and LU time travels works.)

I believe that the timetravel in LU solidifies the adventures of the other links. And that nothign that occours in this adventure impacts their adventures. Even if something was changed it wouldnt change the past.

IE - Twilight breaking his shadow crystal wouldnt mean that wild didnt remember having the wolf on his adventure - as its already happened.

(I hope that makes sense. - time travel is confusing i see it as an alternative timeline type thing)

Moving on!

Wild is best brother 101

Also twilight getting flustered about a girl oh bless this man i low key love him okay

Her!

Also

Smiley man

Epona is a wonderful girl and i love her so much okay

Also Warriors!

HE LOOKS SO HAPPY AGAIN

Man got his emotional support scarf and is no longer stressed (Atleast not visably)

HE!

BELOVED AGAIN HE IS SO HAPPY I AM NORMAL ABOUT THIS MAN

okay

Please understand how much i am cackling at the shenanigans of these three.

Wind rolling around because it is clearly faster mode of travel

Go zoomies wind go zoomies!

Wind rolled down the stairs you cant convince me otherwise. Look at his little superhero pose as hes moving around the corner.

Older brother alert, dont ruin the kids fun warriors they are just getting excited about being on the road again.

Also Warriors, This is normal link behaviour. Just ask Time. He would eailsy tell you that he rolled around hyrule field.

I LOVE HIS LITTLE FACE OKAY

MY BELOVED BLORBO 🧍

(if i run out of pictures i swear to hylia)

There's so much brotherly energy in these panels i love them all so much okay.

Also Sky offering to Pay Time back for the Inn Fee this is why i love the wonderful blorbo okay

Guys im sorry, he's their dad. You cant change my mind.

Thats a dad walk, with a dad sentence.

'Okay guys i need to make sure you are not gonna get killed please have swords.'

The blacksmithing gang getting the love they deserve.

Sky leading the charge! (I know its cause he knows the way and stuff But...)

It also makes a lot of sense. If Sky is the slowest of the group(Again not confirmed but we have had jokes about his stamina), it makes sense to put him at the front to maintain pace of the group. Stops people going too fast and prevents people from being left behind.

Which i might add has already happened. (Warriors and Hyrule im looking at you.)

We just need to read the boss partterns for a bit so we can then decide how to fight it. You know, like we did when we were in our adventures and had to figure out boss mechanics.

Important that hyrule is saying this as his game is arguably one of the hardest. He probably spent a long time on each boss learning attack patterns.

Oh this arc was fun! So much fun i love it so much okay

Thank you so much again for hanging out with me while i write these. I love making them and i really appreciate all the support on them. (If you could share it around i'd really appreciate it :) )

Have a wonderful day! :D

[fatuismooches]

Hello !! 🌟

So sorry to disturb you first but i had a funky brainrot about our dear Fatui and dance (if it was tell yo ucan ignore it) and i was thinking about who can dance and it was mostly all of them, i mean Tartaglia seem a pretty good dancer and seem almost untired, Signora seem to know too, maybe waltz and such, for Scaramouche or Wandere he seem so good too and ofc Arlecchino beloved !!

But my brain ran wild and i was thinking, does Dottore also know to dance ? Like we know he seem to prioritzed science and such, but for me like, he does know, don't tell me he don't know (and for worse, he seem pretty good and can use it to shut some mouth) and know i can't unsee Dottore dancing with his lover when he have time to do it 😌💜

Like just imagine, a boring evening/event, he don't want too but he have some obligation to do it, so he stay and his lover is here with him, trying to distratc him the best they can and withou warning, just him dancing with them-

So yeah, my little rambling ehehe bye !!

All the Harbingers are proficient in the art of dance, and that too includes Dottore. After centuries of life and an unquenchable thirst for knowledge, one would be surprised by the amount of skills he's acquired here and there (save for cooking.) So yes, he and most of the segments do know, except for the young ones like from when he was a student. (Unless you decide to teach Alpha, of course! He will be rather grumpy and unwilling toward it, though.)

Dottore's quite good at dancing, even though he learned it by himself with no help other than studying others and the patterns. He only put the effort in because his and the Tsaritsa's reputations were important in the eyes of certain people, and obviously, it wouldn't do for him to make any mistakes while dancing with another. While his dancing is flawless, any person who dances with him would not feel any enjoyment. It is cold and emotionless, their heart in their throat even though the scholar had not done or said anything, but no one would dare state their dissatisfaction. It works to the Harbinger's advantage because it's not like he wants to dance or even be there in the first place.

For you, however, it's a whole different story. You're nowhere as good as him. You will step on his feet. You will not always go along with his pace and movement. And yet Dottore's shoulders are less stiff. His body feels lighter. His jaw isn't tight and his face is relaxed, the normal cold expression he'd have with anyone else gone. He watches you intently, his body automatically remembering the steps as he focuses on you switching from talking excitedly to squinting at the floor to make sure you don't step on him. No one dares to comment (except two of his co-workers.)

In private, he'd dance with you if you requested and eventually, you'd get rather good at it. In public, if he's unable to slip away quickly like he usually does, he'd dance with you the whole time so anyone who tries to talk with him would be unable to. Dottore always takes the lead in public, but if he's in a good mood, he'll let you lead in private because he wants to be amused.

danganronpa v3 chapter 3 pre-investigation running commentary (writing down my thoughts live as i had them):

all that kaito and maki stuff i'd heard about prior to playing the game? i get it now, i've finally reached the bulk of the content. it's cute. the bright sunshiney guy dragging the murder girl around and making her be involved even when the rest of the group wants to shut her out - this is a recipe for ship success

i remember awhile back being like "is the vibe of this ship 'aw he's the first person that's ever been truly nice to her'?" and i was close. it seems like the vibe is more accurately "aw he's the first person to ever truly believe in her." that line of thinking is gonna go a long way in breaking down her mask that he CONSTANTLY talks about and getting her to trust him. yeah this is the good shit right here, i'm into it

i do wonder what these people are thinking watching me come into their labs and tear apart the entire room looking for money

the fourth floor music is so funky and strange, i love it

tenko flipping shuichi onto his back and then doing the EXACT same thing to himiko is the most i've respected her this entire game. finally, some equal rights. and her treating himiko semi-normally

sooo...miu and keebo were definitely having robot sex, right? do we all agree that that was robot sex that i witnessed? that was uhhh charged and dirty and i felt i shouldn't be listening. shuichi is definitely not beating the pervert hat allegations by fucking spying on them during that oml

maybe now that they're fucking this means miu and keebo will unionize together against kokichi's bullying. they could certainly use the help from teaming up. i feel like kokichi has been targeting those two specifically. (and also maki, but i don't think maki is worried about him lol)

i may be playing this game as shuichi, but i'm pretty sure kaito is actually the main character of this story lol, he's certainly acting like it

tsumugi calls herself "just plain" like WAY too much. i'm getting suspicious

god damn it when am i going to see MY ultimate lab? i want to see my moody detective lab!! where the fuck is it?? on the damn roof???

actually now that i think about it that's probably where kaito's lab is. btw there is nothing i want to see more than the astronaut lab, that's gotta be beautiful and trippy af. tbh i'm hoping it's just decked out in galaxy patterns

so as of this chapter there are 6 labs left to be uncovered: shuichi's, kaito's, keebo's, kokichi's, tsumugi's, and poor dead rantaro's (whatever rantaro's might be). kaito's has gotta be on the roof, and i'm pretty sure kokichi's is the mysterious black and white checkered door on the first floor that i can't open (matches his scarf). there's some empty space out in the courtyard so i think one of the remaining ones will appear out there. i think someone's might be hidden past that weird scroll on the fourth floor? and at least one of the remaining ones will be on the roof/top floor with kaito. guess i'll have to wait for a future chapter to see those

miu is already getting horny toward me in like her second free time event, and if i get her the bondage boots that are currently available at the casino i think that may be a one-way ticket to her fucking me

when i approached tenko during free time she was standing on one of the pillars in her dojo which was way funnier to me than it should've been

every time i talk to gonta but don't spend free time with him i feel so horribly guilty

what's going to stop me from just spending all of free time endlessly walking about the school gathering money?

answer: the 999 coin limit apparently

noooooooooooo my beloved keebo got brainwashed!!! keebo snap out of it!!! noooooo!!!!!!!!!!

i wanna know how angie does her brainwashing. she got tenko who hates her, and then she somehow managed to brainwash a robot which i'm very curious about

doing the "man's fantasy" scene immediately after the student council atua scene felt very clashing and jarring lol

shuichi is DEFINITELY not beating the pervert hat allegations after uhhh watching the girlies change in the locker room???? uhhhh dude wtf. if miu knew i'd done this AND walked in on her sexy time with keebo she'd never let me hear the end of it

i'm worried about kaito, he's been acting very strange ever since the formation of the "student council." since he's a very vocal leader, did angie, like, poison him to keep him out of her way???

maki will hang out with me now???? dude i was so shook i changed my free time plans. i usually hang with keebo but i didn't want to spend time him while he was brainwashed, so i hung with maki instead and gave her boba tea. emos need to stick together. side note: does kaito have a type? i'm pretty sure shuichi and maki were cut from the same cloth lol

does maki ring the doorbell incessantly exactly like kaito? lmao that's cute

i knew we weren't done with rantaro, there are too many unanswered questions about him

lmao nice reference to junko and mukuro. suspiciously meta

kokichi bringing up that rantaro might've been working with the mastermind and they let him get killed on purpose is a fascinating possibility

so we're killing angie, right? we're all in agreement that we're killing angie? she sucks, and that's the most efficient way to stop this brainwashing

this resurrection ritual is most definitely a trap. it's going to require sacrificing someone and/or backfire and lead to someone dying

i want the kaito monopad theme, because the purple theme is so aesthetically pleasing to me. but it costs so many casino dollars, which means i am going to sit here playing salmon fishing until i go insane. brb

we did it, gang. we made miu fall in love with me

i have been pursuing free time events with 3 people this playthrough: kaito, keebo, and miu. keebo and kaito have kind of been locked out for the latter part of the chapter bc keebo is brainwashed and kaito is mysteriously ill, so that led to me to fast-tracking my miu events, and i've got 5 fragments and her skill. additionally i've hit the bullseye gift-wise, i think i've given her top tier gifts every single time, so i like to believe she's extra in love with me

shuichi doesn't really seem to care all that much about miu's feelings for him, other than to remark "that's a bit over the top. but i'm glad we're bonding!" miu admitted her love and said we're going on a date when we get out of here, and shuichi was like "k cool whatevs." the feelings are not requited on shuichi's part lol. i guarantee you if this was kaito shuichi would be all 😍😍😍

why did she give me her underwear tho? i am uncomfy about this. miu is the only person it makes sense would give me her underwear. is this what everyone gives you at the end of getting all their fragments?? someone plz tell me if i'm on track for acquiring kaito's and keebo's underwear in the future

i was over here concerned that someone had poisoned kaito but it turns out he was so afraid of ghosts it made him sick to his stomach lmao kaito plz

aw kaito got cute nicknames for maki now?? yeah she's absolutely gonna fall in love with him and hate herself for it. he's definitely already got it bad for her but there's no way he's aware of it yet, he's just treating her like this on instinct lol

i knew tenko wasn't actually brainwashed! that hadn't made sense to me, she hated angie way too much to willingly go along with her plans like that

the second himiko said "i've been calling to her but she won't come to the door" i said to myself "oh she's dead in there"

bro is kokichi following me around? he popped up out of nowhere to unlock the door. i get the feeling he's a little obsessed with me, but he's also a little shit and i don't trust him

well, i say that, but he was actually among the people whose opinion i trusted the most once the student council started asserting their will. i tend to trust people who aren't brainwashed ya know

my reaction to learning that angie was dead:

can't say i'm that upset about it, she sucked tbh. now can we get to unbrainwashing the rest of the council? because i need my boys keebo and gonta back. and like tsumugi and himiko too i guess, but like whatever i sincerely do not care about either of them. but i need keebo returned to me i miss him and seeing him brainwashed is breaking my damn heart

Red hcs pt.2

-can play the violin, guitar, and piano (do I hc her to play a shit ton of instruments? Yes, yes I do. Why? Dunno, but I think she’d be a nice violinist, guitarist, and pianist (that’s why TQoH banned music, Red was playing too many things and was too loud))

-likes to play and write her own music even after music is banned, she just doesn’t play it (and she thought she’d never get to again)

-self taught herself a lot of things but Maddax helped her a lot too, even if it wasn’t stuff the queen required (how to run a kingdom, history, normal stuff, etc.)

-guards have a soft spot for her

-the people also have a soft spot for her (mainly old people, people who remember her when she was younger, or people who realize being the princess isn’t that beneficial, they’re mainly dead though)

-the guards know her identity but help her hide from the queen

-they also helped her get better at parkour (they were very sneaky abt it) and ignored her when she started so when they started to chase her she’d at least have a chance at escaping them, and essentially the QoH)

-only wears red or black lipstick

-mainly wears red, black, white, and pink (and the toniest bit of blue is in her closet, but that’s mainly Chloe’s things she stole snd blue jeans and blue jean shorts) but Red also has a couple other articles of clothing (in which Chloe got her bc she thought red would like it or it would go with her hair)

-she slowly starts to wear other colors bc she now can and explores with that with the help of her friends

-likes funky patterns

-used to steal her mothers earrings and jewelry and dress up just like tQoH until she realized just how awful she rlly was

-braids her hair when she’s nervous and doesn’t realize she does it

-doesn’t like Auradon Prep but loves the freedom and space Auradon provides

-doesn’t rlly get along with Chloe’s friends or other AKs for obvious reasons, but also doesn’t rlly get along with VKs bc they think she’s a perfect princess who had a good life and doesn’t understand what they’ve gone through so Red’s alone besides Chloe and Uma rlly

-doesn’t rlly respond to Bridget’s letters bc she doesn’t know how to or what to say, but Chloe helps her with them and she gets to know her mom better and they form a good relationship over letters then in person

-Chloe or Ella have to be there as a buffer between Red and Bridget at first bc then it’s just awkward and Red will shut down

Tech as a father Chapter 50

I finall managed to format a few chapters at once, till my funky 80HD made me lose focus, If anyone would love t see a special scenario, I am open to try an weave it in.

And as a reminder my asks are open, I will try to write for every clone if requested.

Masterlist

Chapter 50: Soft hearted

As Orion continued to explore the space between Hunter's side and arm, Tech took a moment to reflect on the peculiar dynamics that had formed among Clone Force 99. It was a makeshift family, forged in the crucible of war and adversity, but it held a warmth and camaraderie that transcended their clone origins.

Tech, ever the analytical mind, observed how Hunter, usually the stoic leader, had a soft spot for the little one. Orion's presence seemed to bring a lighter, more human side out of Hunter, a stark contrast to the battle-hardened and exhausted Sergeant they all knew. It was a testament to the way parenthood, even in its unconventional form, could soften the edges of even the toughest warriors. Meanwhile, Orion, oblivious to the complexities of his surrogate family dynamics, continued his exploration. His tiny hands found refuge in Hunter's armour, occasionally reaching out to touch the helmet or grab onto a strand of Hunter's hair. The simplicity of Orion's actions provided a refreshing break from the complexities of war and secrecy.

Tech, with a subtle smile, couldn't help but marvel at the scene. It was a snapshot of ordinary moments in the midst of extraordinary circumstances. The Havoc Marauder and their barracks became not just a vessel for transporting and a home for soldiers, but a space where bonds were formed, laughter echoed, and unexpected connections thrived. As Orion's babbling filled the air, Tech's thoughts briefly drifted to Amanda and the challenges they faced in keeping their secret. The delicate dance between duty and personal connections became more intricate with each passing day. Yet, in the quiet moments like these, surrounded by makeshift safety railings and the comforting presence of his brothers, Tech found solace and a sense of belonging. In the background, Hunter, with a hint of amusement in his eyes, continued to engage with Orion. The once stern leader of Clone Force 99 had become an unexpected uncle, sharing a silent understanding with Tech about the importance of family, however unconventional it may be.

Orion's play mat became a hub of activity within the Havoc Marauder. The infant, determined and full of curiosity, stretched out on his tummy, little hands pushing against the soft surface. His eyes gleamed with the excitement of exploration as he attempted the challenging feat of rolling over.

Tech, always attentive to Orion's developmental milestones, observed with a mixture of pride and amusement. The play mat, scattered with colourful toys strategically placed to capture Orion's attention, provided a stimulating environment for the growing infant. As Orion wriggled and squirmed, Tech couldn't help but narrate the unfolding story of his son's adventures, offering words of encouragement and celebration for every little movement. Always collecting as much pictures and videos as he can, involving his beloved wife as much as he can. The camaraderie of Clone Force 99 echoed in the background as the other members of the squad occasionally glanced over, their tough exteriors softened by the endearing sight of Orion's determined efforts.

Orion's various attempts at rolling over became a collective event, drawing the attention of his uncles, Hunter, Wrecker, Crosshair, and Echo. Each had their unique way of interacting with the little one, whether it was offering words of encouragement, playfully waving a toy, or simply sharing a smile in response to Orion's infectious joy. Wrecker, with his boisterous laughter, occasionally mimicked Orion's attempts to roll, creating a playful atmosphere that made Orion laugh loudly. Echo, ever the strategist, analysed the movement patterns and silently cheered on the progress. Crosshair, typically reserved, couldn't help but crack a subtle smile at the adorable display.

Amidst the light-hearted banter and shared moments, Tech marvelled at the sense of unity within the squad. Orion's presence had woven an extra layer of connection among them, making the Havoc Marauder feel more like a home than a military transport. As Orion's efforts reached a peak, a collective leaning forward happened. Despite not fully mastering the art of rolling over, Orion's determination had turned a simple play mat into a stage for shared joy and laughter. "You get closer every day buddy" Hunter states before turning back to his task.

And so, in the heart of the Havoc Marauder, surrounded by his uncles and father, Orion continued his explorations, blissfully unaware of the deep bonds forming around him. Not aware that he manages to pull his uncles out of their task focused mind, and give them some joyful moments of respite.

Orion, in his innocent attempt to mimic those around him, gurgled happily while grasping the long rattle, the sound of which vaguely echoed the rhythmic tap of raindrops, Tech got in case Orion likes the rain back on Kamino. The play mat was adorned with soft pillows, supporting the little one as he was propped up to observe the ongoing activities within the Havoc Marauder. His father having opened a wall panel to check on something, always close by.

Crosshair, sitting nearby with his rifle disassembled for maintenance, meticulously cleaned each component. His focused demeanour seemed to deter any potential interaction, but every now and then, he couldn't resist stealing glances at Orion. Despite his best efforts to maintain a stoic exterior, there was a subtle softening in Crosshair's expression as he observed the infant's attempts to imitate his actions. Orion, blissfully unaware of the watchful eyes upon him, continued to experiment with the rattle. His small hands gripped the toy, attempting to mimic the way Crosshair handled his rifle. The sound of the rain-like rattle merged with the hum of the ship's engines, creating a comforting background melody for the extraordinary family on board.

Tech, being nearby, observed the silent interaction between Crosshair and Orion, with a few glances. A small smile played on Tech's lips as he recognized the unspoken connection forming between the sharpshooter and the curious infant. It was a testament to the unique dynamics that had evolved within Clone Force 99, a blend of toughness, camaraderie, and unexpected moments of tenderness. Showing even the soft sides of clones bred for war.

As Orion continued his playful exploration, occasionally babbling in a language only he understood, Crosshair couldn't help but acknowledge the subtle joy that emanated from the infant's presence. The act of cleaning his rifle became a secondary focus as the sharpshooter found himself captivated by the innocent gestures of the youngest member of their unconventional family. In the confined space of the Havoc Marauder, where duty often collided with moments of respite, the silent connection between Crosshair and Orion symbolized the intricate threads that bound them together. It was a reminder that, even in the midst of war, the simple acts of observation and shared space could transcend the harsh realities of their existence. And so, as Orion continued his delightful mimicry, unknowingly bridging the gap between generations, the Havoc Marauder sailed through the galaxy, a vessel not only carrying soldiers but also cradling the warmth of unexpected connections and the echoes of a loving family finding solace in each other's presence.

Crosshair, having completed the meticulous task of cleaning his rifle, approached Orion with a deliberate yet gentle demeanour. Kneeling beside the play mat, he observed the infant's attempts to grasp the rattle, his keen eyes discerning the limited coordination of the small hands. With a subtle smile that hinted at the rare softness beneath his stoic exterior, Crosshair decided to lend a helping hand. Taking the rattle from Orion's grasp, he carefully positioned it within the tiny fingers, guiding them to encircle the makeshift rifle. It was a momentary fusion of precision and innocence, as the sharpshooter imparted his own signature touch to the playful scene.

Orion, seemingly intrigued by Crosshair's involvement, followed the lead, attempting to maintain the hold on the rattle. His eyes widened with curiosity, reflecting the innate fascination children often have for the world around them. The rattle, now held in a manner reminiscent of a miniature rifle, became a symbol of connection, an unspoken bridge between the seasoned soldier and the burgeoning infant.

Tech, who had been quietly observing the interaction, found himself captivated by the unfolding tableau. The juxtaposition of Crosshair's expertise and Orion's budding curiosity created a harmonious blend of contrasts. It was a reminder that, even in the midst of their unique circumstances, moments of tenderness and shared experiences could forge bonds that defied the rigidity of their roles as soldiers. Crosshair, fully aware that Orion's attention span might be fleeting, savoured the ephemeral connection. He allowed the infant to explore the rattle-as-rifle for a brief moment before gently reclaiming the toy. In a silent acknowledgment of their shared understanding, Crosshair met Tech's gaze with a subtle nod, a recognition of the unspoken threads that wove their disparate lives into an unexpected tapestry of camaraderie.

As Crosshair rose from his kneeling position, Orion's attention shifted to the twinkling lights on the play mat. The makeshift training session concluded, leaving a lingering sense of warmth and connection in the air. It was a small yet profound episode within the confines of the Havoc Marauder, a vessel where bonds were forged not only through battle but also through the tender moments that unfolded in the most unexpected corners of their shared journey. "that never happened." He muttered as he passed Tech to head to the refresher.

Chapter 51 no one ever saw there was 55

Oh my, if I am already at 50. And have so much pre written, I may have to cut short. Not sure if someone would want to write... don't know a 100 chapters or more? That is insane, because I started this as a private fun write, and I have other works, private ones that are even longer. What is wrong with me? xD

🟨 WIP WHENEVER 🥴

Been tagged by @ouroboros-hideout and @chevvy-yates forever ago last MONTH... and more recently by @therealnightcity 🤲 Thank you!

━━━━━━━━

I HAVE A PROBLEM. Problem is- everytime I tease about a mod I'm working on, something happens that fuck my groove up and it gets delayed and delayed HGFH

So I won't be showing what I'm actively working on at the moment UwU especially cause it's a collab with Halk beloved and it's really cool g fhhgf we having a fat rot and I hope y'all will enjoy!

All you get on that is This. Thats it Thats it-

━

Now about what I'm planning and hopefully will get before the end of winter

🔸 I want to rework these two meshes! I believe those were my first ported garment? Among the first, if not THE first (the sweater) and yeah I learned a lot since then

Not happy with how glossy it is, also want to make wool replacers and maybe some funky patterns too idk yet

🔸 I also want to release some Mittens and Neck warmers for Masc, in the same colors and style as my "comfy" line :3

━

🔸 The nipple piercings are ALMOST GOOD TO GO. I still need to refit for Vanilla Small (F) and have a couple of adjustments to do (I won't ever be 100% happy with these but I HAVE to get them out there ghfh it's eating at my brain) the weights are terrible to work with and the UVs don't align 1:1 with the texture in some cases- but the people that tested them so far seems to enjoy them and got some pretty awesome pics sooo QwQ 🙏

━

🔸 Also have my old replacers to port to AXL list 🤡 (for masc) Next in line should beee the Monk set! These won't be exactly 1:1 from the old replacers but still based on the same vanilla garments :3

━

and that's it for today 👁👄👁 won't come as a surprise if I say I have- 875387 projects bouncing around my brain like a DVD screensaver and only shared a tiny bit here 🤏

Outside of modding, I really wanna focus more on my own lore, write it down somewhere with a clean timeline- as well as continue my boys mods and VP comics etc etc 😌👌

🔸 TAGGING - with no pressure as always 🤲 @elvenbeard - @arcandoria - @dreamskug - @sammysilverdyne - @lokiina - @aldecaldhos - and anyone who might want to share!

Went to the mainland earlier. A new shop opened and I wanted to check it out. Got a funky new T-shirt with a tornadus and thunderus on it, some demon slayer figures (Gyutaro and daki my absolute BELOVED) and also something called Apple milk??? I’m so so intrigued. Im about to sleep because my sleep pattern is Fucked Up, also I’m currently being trapped in a snuggle pile consisting of Milk Tea, both baby zorua and North, so it’s not like i have anything better to do, but when I wake up I will be sure to report on the Apple Milk situation cos…..what

I love apple juice, and i love milk, but has science gone too far with this?

Hey you know how I kin assigned the funky five each a main vivosaur would be interesting to see your takes

Ough proto,,,, my beloved

Im nnnot sure I know enough about vivosaurs to make solid assignments,, I feel like you're more qualified for that than I am djwkdhqhd

BUT on the topic of like. General dinosaurs. I DID assign all of them paleo pines dinosaurs + colors which is not what you asked for but something I'm much more comfortable providing my input on NDJDKAHD

Boyfriend would be a sky blue desmatosuchus:

Girlfriend would be a proud twilight triceratops (though cherry anky is a close second):

Pico would be a grass archaeopteryx:

Nene would be a cherry troodon (heart pattern, specifically):

Aaaand Darnell would be a tyrant sarcosuchus :] :

[the-kipsabian]

if you could design a kip era, what would you do? :3

oh this is good

im going to assume just saying that i would bring the boxman back is cheating LMAO so im just. gonna elaborate on that. cause we never got that to its full potential, and ive always thought we could have gone so much more interesting and fucked up with it

because really, you cant redesign perfection, right? cause boxman had it all, an intriguing character, a really fucking good look (silver fox bastard my beloved), just the way he carried himself and talked and everything. like that was perfect. but we could redo that, make it even more unhinged and slightly scarier and hotter since hes beautifully buff now go figure lmao

i think the biggest thing redesign-wise would be the gear. ive grown fond of the sex idol gear tbh those pants are so tight dont look at me but since they were revealed ive just always thought they were missing something. like they arent as flashy or detail heavy as they deserve to be for him, so we could start by tweaking those. i do like the leopard print pattern but i feel like you could do better than that, especially compared to the previous gear. i dont know exactly what but please. gimme back my cool goth-vibe patterns. and also the long coat god i miss the long coat so badly

i wouldnt necessarily bring the box back i think, tho i do love that funky little fucker to death ngl, but i feel like he has said before, it has run its course. but that doesnt mean we couldnt do something with the rest of that character; keep the eerie sense of dread surrounding him, keep the constant mastermind aspect, let him talk in riddles again before i fucking explode. like he could be such a good fucking supervillain if they just let him ough

..and just for shits and giggles i need a fun colored hair back (he literally just recently said he has always wanted to try green hair like BOY WHY HAVENT YOU and also i want to see him in blue 💜) and the nail polish too. and then gimme more dangly earrings and worse eyeliner thank youuu

..i feel like this doesnt answer the question at all actually LMAO but heres some thoughts of just. generally aspects i would like i guess? cause i really dont know what i would like as a whole character cause like said in the very beginning, boxman was perfect and i would just want him back please and thank you 💜

Happy Birthday Flea!!! Fun fact/refresher, depending on how insane you are about one of these men, that Flea, Damon Albarn and Tony Allen formed a jam band (Flea laughs at calling it a supergroup) for one album, both entitled Rocket Juice & The Moon.

Rocket Juice’s launch pad was the Albarn-helmed Africa Express touring collaboration; a 2008 Lagos date provided the initial connection between Flea and Allen, and sparked jam sessions with Albarn. These evolved into a full album, with guests including US soulstress Erykah Badu, Malian songbird Fatoumata Diawara, keyboardist Cheick Tidiane Seck, Ghanaian rapper Manifest and Chicago siblings Hypnotic Brass Ensemble.

Flea: ‘Supergroup sounds pretty silly,’ giggles irreverent superstar and intrepid talent Flea. ‘Damon and Tony are two musicians I admired plenty before I worked with them. Damon’s an amazing musician, and his storytelling ability on a song like Poison seems to be in his blood. And Tony, man, he’s just a treasure. He’ll lay down this funky wicked groove and I just want to get into the middle of it. It’s like being freezing, then immersing yourself into a hot bath. (...) ‘The Rocket Juice album was made with no preconceived plan,’ adds Flea. ‘The playing never felt like a means to an end. We totally improvised over a few meetings, left it wild so it feels cosmic and loose. I love to just jam; my life mission is to play music in the moment.’ (...) ‘Damon’s very English, I’m from Hollywood, Tony’s from Nigeria… and our hearts are all in the same place,’ says Flea.

Damon: ‘You blend all of these things into your life; that’s the secret – otherwise you go stark raving mad,’ says Albarn. Despite his laddish Blur persona, he mostly seems happy being a driving force rather than commanding the spotlight: ‘I am part of a lot of things that are converging at the moment. On Rocket Juice, I’m just having a whale of a time in the background, playing, messing around on silly keyboards. It was an amazing meeting of minds with Tony and Flea, and most of these tracks were one-take wonders. We bounced all over the place.’ (...) projects such as Rocket Juice are as liable to draw as much ‘purist’ criticism as they are crossover praise. ‘I’ve always had an inquiring mind; music has been a constant search and battle with myself,’ says Albarn, smiling. ‘And it took me years not to take criticism negatively. It was strange at the Brits (where Blur won the Outstanding Contribution Award this year), being 17 years older than the other participants in the pageant. I remember what it was like originally, and there’s a marked change in my outlook now; over time you learn to create order, and not be afraid of chaos.’

Tony: ‘When Damon calls me, I might not always know what he’s aiming at, but I know it’s not bullshit,’ says Allen, with gruff fondness. The Afrobeat architect’s highly distinctive drum patterns open the Rocket Juice album; Allen was also part of another Albarn outfit, The Good, The Bad & The Queen, and he collaborates on Albarn's opera Dr Dee. ‘He feels like an inseparable music partner,’ he says. (Couldn't find a direct quote from Tony about Flea, but I'm sure the two got on great!)

This is wonderful! I now feel like there's a collaboration or at least friendship between most of our beloved 90s musicians, like you could pick two names at random and they'd have a project together. Creativity and talent everywhere.

[frostbite-the-bat]

tell me about your fucked up petz creatures

I WILL GO OVER My Main Cast. alphabetically as they appear in my funny box !

Starting off with ABYSS!! i love her dearly. she's a spamton mixie! specifically a blue addison + spamton + sparkle kittling. she's got no eyes or colors (she's got blue paw pads, thought!), leading to an unsettling appearance. i love her dearly, though! she's full of cheeky personality and she loves jumping through the hoop, if she isn't knocking it out of my hand. (or doing other things... she loves to mess around)

up next is... asshole! yes. thats his name. he's my oldest spamton i currently have! he was originally a different spamton neo, but for petzspamton creator's comfort i converted him to be dib's spamton neo. being based on a siamese - he's picky and he's mean. he's an asshole. that name stuck with him. he used to wear an iconic sweater but this spamton neo kinda breaks shirts so he has a santa hat now!

also spamton neos in petz are known for. their. uhm. Thoughtful Gaze.

next is... BIG BOY! MY BELOVED!! he is a gift from petzspamton for me based on my mega spamton neo design! he came named bigboy and since even my mega spamton neo's nickname has been bigboy. :] he's big, he's cuddly, he's gentle and he LOVES food. he also flops. a LOT. and genuinely when i say he loves food i mean it, he's based on a persian and those love food in petz. he seems very eepy today he's flopping less than usual but probably because of how wacky the room layout is + he's too interested in buck plush

OLD BAD ART ALERT I DONDNT DRAW LIKE THIS NOW I DREW THIS IN MY FLOP ERA but heres mega sneo design. just for context!! (ye he got swapped wings but who cares)

if you see similarities between this hair and the way i draw high roller, no you dont. no you fucking dont.

up next is cap'n! i'll be honest i dont play with him as often since i converted everyone from petz 5 to petz 4 - losing k_k in the progress </3. he just loves starting fights with everyone its no fun </3 but ANYWAYS!! this is a hexie made by YOURS TRULY! hes goofy

can't show off cap'n without.. SWEET! oh boy after glados this is my most complicated hex. DO YOU KNOW HOW PAINFUL IT IS. TO MAKE A CUBE. OUT OF (SPHERES) (AND LINES THAT ARE VERY FUCKY) ITS HORRIBLE. sweet sweet sweet my dearest friend sweet they start fights sometimes too but are calmer than cap'n. they like playing with plushies a lot as you can see

next is creature! a funky little spamton mixie. seriously this thing is like generation 7 and listing everything thats In Their Blood may take a while. they've got lovely spots and neat textures + are pretty big!!! their tip ends with a pink which is a fun contrast compared to the blue/white gradient. very silly fella!!!

next is cupcake! one out of two silly kitties i got from bad_death ! they did a thing where they gave out unique textured/patterned fellas to people on petzcord. so these guys are unique! like everyone elses. i have other petz i got from other people that are hexed, but i don't have them in the playable petz folder right now. cupcake likes to flop around, too! what a lovely fuzzball... they also get scared of everything which isnt characteristic of a persian personality but. hey. the wordl is scaresy...

next is dragonfruit with their funky shrimp tail !! also a spamton mixie - you can defo see similarities between them and creature. i believe they're related? anyways - the main breed they take from is cubus! they have calico personality so they are very playful!!

next is fledgeling! Bird. i dont even know whats in them .

FROSTBITE. MADE BY PETZSPAMTON FOR ME. THIS smug-ass cursed entity. they're a little bastard beast. theyre just me but petz. smug ass. likes to 🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨. friends with some but enemy to many. LOVES DANCING. PLAY MUSIC INGAME AND THIS THING WILL SHAKE TAIL. dear god even this frost made it to hr's , they will kill.

also the iconic gif with them and spammo.

next is GLADOS! or catdos if you will. i made this with my own blood sweat and tears it was a nightmare. but look! glados !

im getting tired and i havent eaten today yet because im autism SO. SHORTER DESCRIPTIONS.

iceshock!! silly ice spammy kitty.

MANGO MY DEAREST BELOVED. YOUNGER BROTHER TO OTTERPOP. THOSSE TWO ARE BASICALLY MY MASCOT SPAMTONS. I LOVE THEM SO MUHHCHCHCHCHCHCHCHC. THISSECTION IS FOR THEM BOTH MWA MWA LOVE THEM. also that was ttheir bday gift a year ago They Didnt Like It. btw otterpop blue shirt mango flower shirt

onion .

....and i hit the image limit so...! feel free to ask for more...!

thank you for the tag @slowtouch i adore you!!

9 People I’d Like to Know Better:

last song: tareeq by al-bara’em

fave colors: forest green, lilac purple, cornflower blue, and burnt orange

currently watching: nothing regularly or seriously tbh, just an occasional rerun of some 70s sitcom. been thinking about starting something off of my to watch list but i haven’t picked what yet

currently reading: “odetta: a life in music and protest” by ian zack! technically i’m reading it as research for a project, but it’s still really enjoyable and interesting (:

sweet/savory/spicy: probably savory

relationship status: single. insert acearo pride flag here

current obsession: fsjhfshj. uh. unfortunately i’m obsessed with finishing the semester strong at the moment lmao. as far as more fun stuff, maybe funky fashion and/or decor trends of the 70s? especially interested in patterns, motifs, etc. of the era. neil the frog kitchenware set my beloved

last thing i googled: this is probably cheating a little cause i sifted through my academic related searches until i got to something i googled out of my own interest, which was “kwame ture books.” other than that, most of my searches were related to a paper i’m doing on evictions and squatters rights and how people are criminalized in the process of eviction under the guise of trespassing. (i’ve been putting off actually researching on the campus library’s research database because the website is. a nightmare. i’ll get to that eventually lol, for now i’m just googling tho)

currently working on: a few different end of semester essays/research projects, like the eviction paper i mentioned previously, or the project with the odetta book is about the influence and importance of women of color in the folk music movement, plus a couple others. once the semester is over though, i’d like to try to get back into painting again

i love you tavo thank you again!! (:
