“Martian High Stakes: How Masi Dmachi Won the Biggest Jackpot in the Galaxy”

In the year 2072, under the neon lights of the Planet Las Vegas Hotel, located on Mars, Masi Dmachi, the high-stakes legend of the Dmachi fortune, was poised to make history. The iconic hotel was more than just a building—it was an entire world of its own, a dizzying blend of Tesla’s vision and SpaceX’s reach, bringing all the glamor of Las Vegas to the Martian surface. Its shimmering towers…

the shibuya arc is almost over, i still cant believe it started off with 5 episodes of teen gojo and suguru having the best and then the worst time of their lives all to the back drop of a slice of life setting. I think i will always chose to live in those first 5 episodes they dedicated an entire marketing campaign to.

loved the update!!

question: what does picking the “lustful” interest option entail?

does it mean that mc can never fully be in a relationship with that RO, ( as in, it’s always going to be just casual) or can MC change their “mindset” later on and start a serious relationship?

It mostly changes the nature of the relationship/the flavour text you'll see, and potentially some of the available choices.

You could say that the romantic branch focuses more on the emotional side of things while the lustful route tends to highlight the main character's desirous impulses more (as well as the physical aspect of it). That's not to say you can't still have something deeper or meaningful, it's just... different!

And no, you won't be completely locked in once you've picked one, you can still change things later on. :-)

re: last reblog, but to me A Link Between Worlds is kind of the nail of the coffin of my "Ganondorf does have a point in his attempt to seize the Triforce, because that's literally the only fucking option you have if you want to change the natural world, given it's been demonstrated that trying to function outside of these parameters will make the world implode on itself" perspective

I'm not saying world domination is a particularly worthy goal, but literally what else can one aspire to beyond this given the unbelievably restrictive rules of that universe? this is a world conceived to be a hierarchy, and stay one, by design!! Nayru's domain, Wisdom's domain, is literally Natural Rules, and Farore's, Courage, is to create life that can abide by these rules. It's in the very cutscene that introduces them as a mythological concept!!

So if you're unlucky enough to be casted as "one of the bad ones that aren't blessed sorry :/" either you wall yourself in a cave and live your life lowly and miserable, hoping no hero will come break all of your pots while you're out picking up wood, or you take your only reasonable shot at making significant change for yourself. Like what else do you do in such a conservative world??? attempt to build diplomacy, when your entire race is being considered evil thieves inherently, and when you're incredibly underpowered and with nothing of worth to offer your neighbors?? like what is one poor poor gerudo king meant to do :(((((

(caveat in case this leaves the usual circle: no I'm not saying this to undermine that Ganon is a maniac and gleefully violent and egotisical and willing to put others in harm's way in the name of his own hype, nor that he is a worthy ruler with any sort of long-term political vision that would look terribly different from hyrule's --tho giving Ingo the ranch in OoT was kind of an ideological W imo even if Ingo is not a great dude once in charge (which in itself is so interesting ideologically, it's once again a case of You Were Assigned Subordinate And If You Try To Swap Places The Natural World Will Collapse Yes Even If You Are Suffering And Treated Poorly Your Suffering Is Natural While The Suffering Of Those In Charge Is Unnatural)-- but, yeah. One does certainly not prevent the other from also being true)

as someone with a guilty pleasure for isekai and time regression stories I am just thinking of a story where Husk dies and wakes up during the height of his Overlord days with the memories of everything that would happen and has just. From the outside perspective become a completely different person overnight and changed his ways (read: the morals he gained during his afterlife he applies to how he, uh... Overlords?). A Husk whose last soul deal is to get Angel Dust away from Valentino (and offers Angel his freedom, which Angel possibly decides not to take for the time being bc it'd be safer for him to be under contract than not, with Valentino as mad as he is), and who avoids making bets/deals with Alastor like the plague. Starts building alliances with other Overlords (maybe even including Alastor, albeit reluctantly) to steadily create a support network/team (which is also useful when going up against the Vees once they're established), and just bides his time until Charlie and Vaggie open their hotel- which, at the time of his death, he had come to love and support the cause of.

And Husk is ready to be the hotel's sponsor, immediately. Alastor gets there and finds Husk beat him to it (seeing as Husk knows about it before the interview even airs), but unlike Alastor with his ulterior motives, Husk actually wants to help.

After all, he died for the hotel, and its people, once upon a time

Okay I can't not post this funny ahh conversation I had with @snipersiniora regarding this post

THIS WHOLE THING IS SO SILLY I LOVE ITTTTTT

Donatello wouldn't feel an ounce of guilt for getting Donnie grounded but Raphael would hate it and somehow manage to plead with Splinter to un-ground him 😂

(Later Donatello will just appear at an ATM on the surface and withdraw funds from some idiot billionaire. He could've done it any time but it's 1) more work and 2) harder to manifest when there's no other family around) (He could've just asked Donnie to come with him but he missed that chance, now the kid is mad at him and definitely will not help) (Meanwhile Leonardo got told what happened and he's just "???? why the HECK are they betting on my love life??????")

I wish I was a comic artist ahhghjhjgd this would be such a fun little thing to draw!!!

I was trying to think of some concepts for my cupchal children and o thought to myself “what would be more ironic than his children going to a casino? His children owning a casino.”

Porcy-Lynn runs “the Kiddie Casino” a place for kids to relax and spend their allowed after a long days work. The staff is none other than her beloved siblings and cousins.

It’s almost an exact replica of what’d you’d see in a casino, but replaced by kid activities. Carnie games, board games, mocktails & soda, but most importantly, money. Lynn’s one true love.

They do eventually go to the devil’s casino for some extra cash, but that’s another tale. ;)

Bonus gift for @marshmallow-biscuit-blog because they deserve it, their fankids working at the casino! :D

Extra bonus doodles:

See how many other inkwell kids you can spot!

writing fanfic is so humbling I feel like all pretense of my own skills at human behaviour and understanding fall away and I'm crafting a shambling mass of half-emotions and rigid essay-like prose and the characters I want to force together are suddenly magnets with the wrong end facing each other

My tattoo artist and I talked about Ginger Snaps and Jerma for like an hour. I think I fell in love.

Kayla Gogarty and Alex Kaplan at MMFA:

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has suggested that his former national security adviser Michael Flynn, whom he pardoned at the end of his first term, will be involved in his potential second administration, telling Flynn at a May 2023 event: “We’re going to bring you back.”  During an October 14 social media discussion that included QAnon figures, Ben Moore — a QAnon influencer known online as “Sun Tzu” — predicted that Flynn would be appointed as a “special adviser” to Trump during a potential second Trump administration, and Flynn would lead a “special advisory board” that “brings child traffickers to justice.”

Flynn and his group, America’s Future, have been increasingly tied to the QAnon conspiracy theory. Several QAnon figures and conspiracy theorists have served as advisory board members for the group, including Moore. [...] During the October 14 discussion, held on X (formerly Twitter), Moore specifically floated himself and other America’s Future members for Trump's “special advisory board” — including QAnon-affiliated figures Brian Gamble and Liz Crokin, conspiracy theorist Lara Logan, and election denier Ivan Raiklin.

QAnon influencer Ben Moore (aka Sun Tzu) hinted that Michael Flynn will be a part of a 2nd Trump Administration, along with other far-right conspiracy theorists such as Liz Crokin and Lara Logan.

But you think this is what I really want? There's just one thing that's necessary to be friends. Friendship. Is it that hard?

complaining on main but my future mother-in-laws (who we live with) cousin is staying with us for the week and hes driving me insane for a handful of reasons but my top one is that the past two days when im the only other person home AND HE KNOWS THIS hes hanging out only in his underwear in our kitchen and living room

hes made comments about how he thinks his niece "also named jessica" is hot, made passive comments about how he hates my tattoos and has literally followed up learning my mom is also tattoo'd with "you two arent actually planning your wedding right" to casey

this man has never even met my partner before this past sunday

like i literally cannot get over the audacity of hanging out in your underwear with no shirt in a home youre a guest in and you have never met two of the three people that live there especially when you know the "girl" (on hrt nonbinary) is the only person home idk my dudes
