P5 Shipping Round Robin: Day 13

The title for the story is a reference to Project Runway, when models would walk up and down the runway to convince designers to choose/stay with them. I realize it might be a little confusing since it’s also a baseball term, but hopefully, the plot would clear this up anyway!

Here is the fanfiction.net link.

Please enjoy this next part of the P5 Shipping Round Robin Challenge!

P5 Shipping Round Robin Challenge:

Walk Off:

Ann x Goro

-Ann-

“You know, I must say that I don’t quite understand the fascination of runway walks.”

Ann tilted her head to her right, looking up at the person who had spoken.

Goro had been standing off to one side, deep in thought about something or other. Ann had turned on the television to watch the latest episode in her favorite model show. She’d been looking forward to it for the past week, and everyone in the Phantom Thieves knew not to make light of her obsession.

They also knew not to interrupt her when she was watching it. So, even though she was currently in Akira’s room watching his television, the rest of the Phantom Thieves decided that they would hang out in Leblanc until the hour-long episode was over.

That is, except for the newest member.

Goro clearly had not understood the cues that everyone else had been giving off. Or he was simply curious as to what Ann would be doing. Either way, he was here now, and while he had watched the majority of the show in silence, he must not have been able to hold in his comments any longer.

“It’s pretty straightforward, isn’t it?” Ann answered quickly, moving her head to face the television again so that she wouldn’t miss a moment.

“I assume you mean that the concept of runway walking is straightforward, which is not what I meant.” Ann felt a shift in the couch beside her and realized that Goro had sat down next to her. “I meant why are you so fascinated in the subject?”

Ann sighed. She wanted to give their newest member some slack, but she really didn’t feel like having an in-depth conversation with him right now. “The others did tell you that I model part time, right?” She huffed, somewhat impatient with the boy.

“They did.”

“So then I’m studying my craft. Don’t you do the same with your detective work?” Ann asked, still watching the television screen.

“I do.”

“So then, what’s the confusion?”

“When I study a detective mystery, I don’t know instantly who the perpetrator is. I take clues from character backgrounds, actions, and so forth, and then deduce the guilty party at the end.”

Ann wasn’t completely paying attention, but even if she had been, she was pretty sure she wouldn’t understand his train of thought. “Okay?”

“My point is, I know exactly who will win this competition, and it has nothing to do with this walk off.”

At this, Ann started. She turned her gaze back to the detective, observing his smirk with incredulity. “H-how the hell would you know that? You’ve seen like, 40 minutes of a single episode. There’s no way you know!”

Goro chuckled. “Well then. Let’s test that theory. Who do you think will win at this point, Ann?”

Ann glanced back at the screen and saw that the show had gone to commercial. She could afford to talk with him a little longer. “Well… probably Naomi. Her walk was definitely the best. She was basically flawless.” She went on for a minute about the different aspects of her walk, knowing that she tried to emulate some of those herself.

Goro nodded as he listened. Once she finished, he took his turn. “You clearly know a fair amount about the subject. However, you are forgetting one key aspect.”

Ann blinked. “And that is?”

“The fact that it is a television show. It is a competition. And how do the producers make sure that their audience continues to watch? Drama.” Ann said nothing, so he continued. “You are correct that Naomi has the best walk by far out of all the models. But her personality is somewhat… bland. She’s likeable, but that’s about it. Whereas another girl… Seiko I believe… she is much more flamboyant and eccentric. She does not walk as well, true… but why else would she still be here? Based on the small number of models, this is late in the season, yet, she is still here despite her mediocre walking.”

Ann thought. “Huh. So you’re saying it’s more of a personality contest than actual skill?”

Goro nodded. “Essentially. I’m not sure if the show was always like this. Your obsession suggests that it has been on for multiple years. At first, maybe it was truly based on skill. But as the years went on and more people began watching, they wanted to ensure that this fanbase would grow. Most people don’t appreciate the true skill that these models display like you do. They want to see drama, to be able to laugh at others’ petty problems and forget about their own for a while.”

“Well I – ” Ann was about to retort when she realized that the show was back on. “Huh. Let’s see how right you are!”

The two turned their attention towards the screen. The judges would critique each model, and then would send them backstage one by one. Eventually, the two girls that Goro and Ann had mentioned were the only two left on the runway, and they awaited the results with baited breath.

Then, Seiko was declared the winner of the challenge.

Ann gasped. There was no way! That girl had no skill. “I can’t believe it! Naomi can walk circles around that girl and she loses to her?”

Goro laughed. “It appears that I was correct after all.”

Irritated but still impressed, Ann picked up the remote and turned the television off.

The detective seemed surprised by her action. “Ann? There’s still a few minutes left –”

“That’s it, Akechi! We’re having a walk-off, right here, right now!”

The boy’s face paled. “W-what? But Ann, I have no practice in model walking.”

Ann smirked. “Too bad. We’re gonna have a model walk whether you like it or not. It’s only fair since you ruined one of my favorite shows by stripping it down to a cynical formula.”

The model stood up and grabbed Goro by his arm, pulling him up as well. He attempted to pull away, but Ann wouldn’t let him. She dragged him over to the back of the room.

“Alright, Smarty-Pants. Let’s see how well you can walk since you know everything there is to know about it.” She crossed her arms, giggling at the incredulous look he gave her.

“Ann! I already said that I understand the producers’ crass reasoning on how to appeal to as many casual viewers as possible. I don’t know the first thing about the actual performance!”

“Ah ah ah. Less talking, more walking. Go on.” She gestured towards the far wall. “Start over there and then do your best model walk. I’m sure you’d like constructive criticism, since you dish it so easily.” When Goro said nothing, Ann leaned in and whispered in his ear, “Plus, it’ll help with your television appearances if you can walk in a way that drives the girls and boys wild.”

She smiled at the blush that appeared on the boy’s face. Still silent, Goro nodded and walked over to the opposing wall. Ann was tickled by the fact she could tease him all she wanted, but still be able to help him along the way.

Goro stood facing the other wall, most likely preparing himself for his walk. Ann could see him reaching up to his neck, and she was assuming he was straightening his tie.

A moment later, the detective turned around and began to sashay towards the other girl, and it was all she could do to keep from laughing. He really didn’t understand any of the basics of model walking. True, he was good at copying what he saw on the show, but there was one distinct problem with that.

He reached the other side and stopped, his blush from before growing on his face. “W-well? Was that… satisfactory?”

Ann couldn’t help it. She giggled. “Pfft. Not quite, Akechi. You know that female models and male models have different ways of walking, right?”

Goro looked genuinely surprised. “Do they?”

Ann nodded. “Of course! It has to do with the body types. See, girls have that hourglass shape, so they look better swaying a bit as they walk. They can move their hips more, and their balance is typically better, so they can step more eloquently.” She gestured towards the detective. “Boys on the other hand, tend to be stockier and have more of a powerful walk, so they focus more on walking straight and letting their shoulders do most of the moving.”

Goro nodded. “I see. So my walk was too… feminine?”

Ann nodded. “I mean, did it feel comfortable to you?”

The boy shook his head. “Not at all. But I figured that I was just uncomfortable with the whole process.”

The two stood there for a few moments, neither one saying anything. Before too long, Goro cleared his throat. “So… are you going to be walking now?”

“Nope!”

Goro blinked in surprise. “No? But, Ann, I thought we were having a walk off?”

Ann shook her head. “Nah. I just wanted to pay you back for how smug you were being before. And I knew the only way to get you to do something that out of your comfort zone would be too make it a competition.”

He shook his head. “I see. Just as I learned model walking from you, you learned how to manipulate others’ thoughts and feelings to motivate their behaviors from my discussion.”

“Yep!” The model walked up to Goro so that she was right next to him. Then, she leaned up and placed a kiss on his cheek, which caused him to gasp in surprise. “Plus, you’re really cute when you’re flustered.” She winked at him.

“I-I –”

“Anyway! Time to let the others know that we’re done up here.” Ann pat his cheek gently and walked away, heading down the stairs. Before she went too far, she turned to see Goro gently touching the spot where her lips had been. His face resembled the color of her Panther outfit, and she was amused to see how easily he was affected by subtle flirtations. “Now do you see why people love models and their walk offs?” She laughed when he nodded his head.

Here we go! This was interesting to write, since I was able to voice some of my frustrations with competitions like these. The first few seasons are all about the actual talent, but then once they become popular, it’s all about which personality people would like to watch. Sometimes I’m proven wrong, though!

For anyone who was curious, the names for the models are references to a horror game called Corpse Party, which I enjoy. If you dislike the character deaths in Persona, then you will never want to play this game (in fact, one of these characters dies, but I won’t say which one)! See you tomorrow!

To Find Hyrule 1

Link never expected to find a home on the waves. Tetra never expected to find a home in a person. A Series of non-chronological One-Shots that’ll vary in length that’ll follow Link and Tetra, and their growing relationship, as they look for New Hyrule. Set after Phantom Hourglass.

I decided there wasn’t enough of Tetra and Link, so here’s a series of one shots around them.

[This means sign language]

1. The Sheikah Markings part 1

“So,” Said Nudge, looking down at Link and Tetra, “The Ghost Ship took you to another world. Where you were turned to stone and Link had to find three fairies, then three pure metals to make a sword to kill the monster that kidnapped you.”

“Yes.” Exclaimed Tetra, throwing her arms in the air, “Why do you think Link has two more swords, a boomerang, bow, bombs, grappling hook, hammer and some strange mouse thing.”

Everyone suddenly looked at Link, who tried to hide his new weapons from the crew.

“Speaking of,” Said Tetra, slowly, “You’re going to have to put them with the others, Link.”

Link promptly bolted with Gonzo and Senza chasing him. Linebeck, who’d been quiet until this point, looked funnily at Tetra.

“Why does he need to put his weapons away?” Asked the sailor, as Link ducked under a recently installed cannon while Gonzo ran full pelt into it.

“An incident happened.” Said Tetra, her cheeks turning slightly red.

“What incident?” Asked Linebeck, placing his hands on his hips.

“N-never you mind!” Barked Tetra, “I-it’s rude to ask people about their personal business!”

“Link accidentally used his hookshot on the ship.” Said Mako, looking at a map, “Normally that wouldn’t’ve been a problem, as he did it all the time, the problem was Tetra had her door open, namely due to the heat, and Link flew into her room while she was changing.”

“Saw in her underwear, he was saying.” Said Zuko, from the bottom of the mast, “The angle he saw thing didn’t help him much.”

Tetra had gone bright red, in both embarrassment and surprise. Niko saw her eye twitching before trying to salvage the situation, “Then miss Tetra took his effects and locked them in a chest in her quarters, which now is under lock and key.” Niko then stuck his foot out, making Link trip and Senza catch up with him.

The selective mute whined slightly as Senza took the bag containing the items and put them down in front of Tetra.

“Link, it’s for your own good.” Said Tetra, picking the bag up, before spotting the Phantom Sword. “You can keep the sword.” Link immediately brightened, before grabbing the sword and hugging Tetra.

Linebeck frowned at Link, “Aren’t you gonna say anything?”

The entire crew froze before Gonzo walked over, nursing his head.

“He’s selectively mute.” Said Gonzo, checking if his nose was broken, “the only ones who can get him to speak are his family and miss Tetra.” Linebeck pulled a face, “The entire time he was on my ship, he didn’t shut up.”

Mako frowned slightly, before tilting Link’s head upwards. Linebeck squinted and saw a thin pale pink line on Link’s neck.

“You sure about that?” Asked Mako, before looking at Linebeck.

Tetra was quiet, before speaking up, “Link did speak more while we were there, I may have been stone, but I could still see and hear.”

“But that doesn’t explain why he can’t speak now.” Said Linebeck, folding his arms.

“Different world, different rules.” Shrugged Tetra, before trudging off with the bag, “Link, you better come with, I don’t want anything to blow up in my face.”

Link nodded and quickly chased after her.

After Link and Tetra had disappeared and were out of earshot, Niko spoke, “50 rupees they kiss by the end of the month.”

“80 if they kiss before that.” Said Nudge, looking down at the smaller pirate.

“Knock it off, before they come back.” Grumbled Gonzo, before going to the wheel of the ship.

“What’s Link’s job here?” Asked Linebeck, looking down at Niko.

“Originally, he was a swabbie.” Said Niko, before continuing, “But after the incident with Ganon, Tetra gave him a job as a navigator-slash-strategist, made dealing with other pirates easier.”

“But there was a week when Tetra had him mop the decks.” Said Zuko, as he started heading up the mast.

“Why?” Questioned Linebeck.

“One submarine was infested by rats.” Replied Zuko, halfway up the mast by that point, “Never heard her scream so loudly.”

“What are you talking about?” Demanded Tetra, as she appeared followed by Link.

“Nothing!” The entire crew exclaimed, quickly pretending that nothing had been going on.

Tetra glared and snapped, “Well, get back to work.” Link stood behind Tetra and cocked his head slightly, before looking out to sea. Link’s hand tugged the back of Tetra’s vest. Tetra swung around and looked at Link, her demeanour changing instantly.

“What is it, Link?” Asked Tetra, before Link pointed at something. On the horizon a ship with a red eye and tear drop on its sail fired a shot that landed three meters from the bow.

Tetra looked from the ship to her crew, who just stood there staring at the water.

Anger gripping her, Tetra stalked over to Gonzo and kicked him in the shin, yelling “Don’t just stand there! Fire back!”

The crew jumped into action, loading the cannons and returning fire…until a shot hit the mast, causing both it and Zuko to fall into the ocean. Link threw a rope over to Zuko, so the short man could climb up.

Tetra saw red, before shoving Senza from the seat of one of the cannons.

“No one shoots my ship and gets away with it.” Growled Tetra, firing a shot at the advancing ship.

The next three shots from Tetra’s cannon hit the attacking ship’s side. Without the shots causing any damage.

Gonzo’s jaw dropped in shock. While everyone stopped and stared as the advancing ship drew closer, until three pellets where thrown onto the deck, which then spewed out smoke, making everyone close their eyes and start coughing. Four figures leapt onto the ship, two going towards Tetra, with the remaining two going to Link.

“Get off me!” Coughed Tetra, as one of the people grabbed her, before the other one knocked her out. Link received a similar treatment, before being hoisted up like a sack of food and carried off the ship.

When the smoke cleared Link and Tetra were gone. Along with the attacking ship.

TFH

Tetra groaned as she regained consciousness. Shifting her head, she spotted Link, still passed out, with some drool running down his chin. While she found the sight adorable, not that she’d admit it, she quickly kicked him, making him wake up.

“The pigs are attacking the cuccos.” Mumbled Link, as he woke up.

“Link, where are we?” Whispered Tetra, trying to figure out why they weren’t on Her Grace.

Link only stretched and rubbed his eyes before pointing behind her. Tetra slowly turned before seeing a man with white hair and red eyes staring at them.

“You’re awake.” Said the man, looking at them passively.

“Who are you and where are we?” Demanded Tetra, jumping to her feet and glaring at the man.

The man only chuckled at her, before sitting down, “Of all the questions you ask, it is those two that are first.” Said the man, a sad look in his eye, “so much like your mother.”

“How would you know my mother?” Demanded Tetra, growing angrier by the second.

“You are aboard the Nocturne, a ship used by the Sheikah Tribe.” Said the man, looking down at Tetra, the 15-year old’s chest heaving with anger, “And as for who I am, my name is Dorian, and I am your father.”

TFH

Dorian walked out onto the deck and rubbed his eyes slightly.

“Things didn’t go according to plan then?” Asked a Sheikah blade master, quietly sharpening her scimitar.

“How long were you listening in, Purah?” Asked Dorian, not looking at the woman.

“Long enough to know that she thinks Impa was always a pirate and her crew were just picked willy-nilly.” Said Purah, checking her sword for any dullness, “I still don’t know why Impa ran away, or dyed her hair for that matter.”

Dorian exhaled sharply, before walking down to the prow of the ship, “How long until we reach the isle?”

“Another day or so, why?” Responded Purah, putting her sword down.

“When we reach the isle, Tetra will begin her training.” Said Dorian, before turning, “I also want to see how well this ‘Hero of Winds’ can fight.”

“Why?” Asked Purah, “He defeated Ganondorf, why do you need to see how well he can fight?”

Dorian was quiet, before walking into his cabin, leaving Purah on deck with a Shadow looking down at her.

TFH

Link watched at Tetra stomped across the cell, having seen her blow up at Dorian. Tetra let out a small scream, before kicking a crate. Link got up and walked over to her.

“W-why are you so angry?” Asked Link, his voice soft and wispy.

Tetra took a deep breath and sighed, before looking at Link.

“He said he was my father.” Said Tetra, “If that’s the case then, where was he? He didn’t turn up at all in my childhood, even after my mother died, I was raised by my crew.”

“B-but he h-here n-now?” Said Link, his stutter returning, another reason he didn’t speak.

Tetra sighed before sitting down on the crate she’d kicked, “Link, I know this is cruel on you, but if your parents turned up out of the blue, how’d you react?” Asked Tetra, looking up at the blond boy.

“I-I d-d-don’t know.” Said Link, slowly becoming more distressed at his voice.

Tetra sighed and grabbed his hand and pulled him down next to her, before she started speaking sign language.

[It feels like that he only turned up because of you defeating Ganon] Signed Tetra, making Link frown slightly.

[But I didn’t, you did more than I did] responded Link.

[I was kidnapped, knocked out and was practically useless through out the battle, Link.] Signed Tetra, huffing slightly, [The only reason you got involved was because I got your sister kidnapped.]

Tetra took a shuddering breath, prompting Link to wrap his arms around her. Tetra gripped him back as the last of her walls crumbled, quietly sobbing into his shoulder.

TFH

Her Grace limped her way to Outset Island, being towed by a small steamship. Aryll looked through her telescope, spotting the ship and ran off to tell the other islanders.

“GRANDMA!” Yelled Aryll, running towards her home, “LINK AND THE PIRATES ARE BACK!”

Saria, Link and Aryll’s Grandmother, looked out to the ocean and spotted the ship, or rather the fact the mast was missing, and they were being towed by a small steam that was lacking in the structural design.

“Orca.” Said Saria, looking at the younger man, “Be a dear and bring Link and Tetra to me, thank you.”

“Aye.” Said Orca, walking down the pier towards the steam ship. Saria watched as Orca jogged up to the steamship as it made dock, the pirates clambering into long boats and making their way to shore.

Orca spoke with the captain of the steam ‘ship’, while the crew of Her Grace slowly made their way to the village.

“Somethings happened.” Said Sue-Belle, as the pirates approached, “They never take this long, not for any good reason.”

“Gonzo.” Said Saria, slowly hobbling towards the pirates, “can you tell me where my grandson is?”

Gonzo looked panicked, quickly looking at the others for help. He was shoved forwards by the rest of the crew.

“W-well, you see, um...” Said Gonzo, before Linebeck just walked forwards.

“Their ship was attacked, during the chaos Link and Tetra were taken by the attackers.” Said Linebeck, looking down at the little old lady.

“My grandson…” Said Saria, slowly, “Was kidnapped.”

“Unfortunately, yes, judging on how the attackers arrived, they’d obviously been monitoring the crew for a while.” Said Linebeck, “If I wasn’t so concerned, I’d almost be impressed on how they were able to subdue him so easily.”

Everyone was quiet, before Sturgeon spoke up, “Was there any markings that could’ve identified them?”

“Aside from a red eye with a tear-drop on their sails, no.” Said Linebeck, idly cleaning a telescope.

Sturgeon quickly turned to fetch one of his books, before Saria spoke.

“You mean to tell me, that the Sheikah have kidnapped my grandson.” Said Saria, slowly turning to look at Tetra’s crew.

“Pretty much.” Said Linebeck, putting the telescope back in his pocket.

[scientifically-strange]

Avengers mess with time and Danny (as clockworks apprentice) has to set them straight? (If that's okay?)

“Daniel.”

Clockwork didn’t bother turning as Daniel, his apprentice, entered the room. He calmly floated over to Clockwork, looking at him expectantly.

“Yeah, what’s up?” Danny asked, popping his gum.

“There is a team of super humans that are time traveling, and ironically enough I don’t have time to intervene. And you need experience. I want you to take care of it.”

It was probably one of the only times he had never been cryptic with Danny (After all, he did love a good riddle), but this was far too important.

Danny tapped his staff on the floor twice and disappeared in a swirl of whatever shade of blue his cloak was. He was very picky about his shades of blue.

------

When Danny landed, his stomach was swimming, and apparently, so was he.

He had landed in some sort of river, slowly going downstream. It was odd seeing no trees or buildings. It kind of reminded him of a desert.

At least, until he was lifted out of the water.

He didn’t notice it at first until he blinked and he was suddenly in the air without having to fly. He looked down and yelped, almost falling off of...

A dinosaur?

His whole body was smaller than its head, and the thing’s neck was freakin’ huge. But that would explain the lack of buildings. And people. But he could see trees further off into the distance, along with something...Smoking? If people weren’t around during this time, and there was no lighting, and it was just cool enough to not cause a fire, then that smoke should in fact not be there.

He lifted off of the dinosaur’s head (it started with a b, he knew, but all he could think of was Long Neck) and flew towards the small trail of smoke, ignoring the way his pants pinched from the water.

He stopped about twenty or thirty yards away, invisible and intangible for convenience, and slowly glided over. He didn’t want them to know he was there just yet.

There was one guy with his head in a ship that had a large red A on it, being griped at by a blonde guy with a bandage on his nose and stitched up gash on his forearm.

“We’ve been here for three days!” He whined. “What about my dog? Even worse, what about my coffee?!”

“Clint, calm down,” the other guy said. “We’ll be out of here in no time, all I have to do is build the whole ship from scrap parts because we’re in freaking dinosaur land!”

So obviously there was a bit of tension between these friends. Probably because they had been stuck in dino land for three days, but hey, Danny wasn’t going to jump to conclusions.

“Will you two knock it off?” A woman with curly red hair approached them, her hips swinging back and forth. She looked beautiful but Danny wouldn’t touch her with a ten foot pole. Behind her was another blond guy who was taller and broader than the other one, with torn American spandex. Yikes.

“Nat’s right,” he said. “Besides, at least we beat Kang. And this problem is solvable. Right, Tony?”

The guy who was in the ship stuck his head out and wiped his brow, smearing grease across his forehead as he did so. “I don’t know, Steve. We could be here a while. I only have so many materials, and there’s no way I can use any prehistoric thing to make the ship go and time travel. Except for fuel, maybe, but it would take us weeks to get us even that.”

“What about Thor?” Clint asked hopefully.

“He’s MIA in our home time. He ain’t answering anytime soon now,” Steve replied. Clint didn’t put any effort into hiding his disappointment. Danny almost felt sorry for him, but he knew of Kang the Conqueror, and if they beat him, well, they truly are a force to be reckoned with. He stepped through a tree, losing his invisibility half way through it, and greeted them.

“You guys beat Kang? How?”

Okay, so maybe not as politely as he would have thought, but he still wasn’t mean, and that was the important part.

They all immediately hopped into a fighting stance, but nobody tried making a shot. He waved them off.

“Relax, I’m here to take you back to your own time. See the staff with the little hourglass on top?”

They still didn’t back down, and he was pretty sure the guy named Tony was going to throw his wrench at him.

“How?” Nat asked, eyes narrowing.

“I...I don’t know how the power works, I just kind of do it. Now do you want to go home or not?” He put his hand on his hip and gave them an irritated look. Clint was the first to drop his fighting stance, looking utterly exhausted as he did so.

“I do,” he said. He raised his hand and fell onto the ground, sitting cross legged and looking like he wasn’t gonna stand up again unless his life depended on it.

“Close enough.”

Danny tapped his staff on the ground twice, and the whole site disappeared in a swirl of rainbow colors.

-----“Where are we?” Steve asked. “And who are you?”

“I am Phantom, Clockwork’s Apprentice, and you are all in the Ghost Zone. Which is how we knew you guys needed help. This place is kind of the gateway to lots of other dimensions and time because of all of the natural portals that pop up,” he explained. “Anyway, you guys are super heroes, right? What’s your name? The Justice League?”

“Who?” Clint asked.

“We are the Avengers,” Tony but in. Danny made an ‘o’ shape with his mouth, nodding in understanding before he opened his hand and opened a portal with it. In it was their beloved city and Tower. They could see Thor on the roof, looking slightly confused but not dead so that was always a good sign.

“So we just...?” Clint asked, letting his sentence trail off.

“Walk right through, pretty much. Anyway, try not to do any more time travel, please. Deal?”

“We’ll do our best. Thank you,” Steve said, patting his shoulder. He stepped through the portal, and the others followed one by one, leaving Danny by himself. Even though he only knew them for a short time, he kind of missed them.

Maybe he could talk Clockwork into letting him hang out with them more.

Unusual Asks

Yep, I’m in that mode again. Time to answer questions about myself that literally no one asked for :D

If someone finds this in the deep ocean blue and wants to answer the same questions, I found them here

Spotify, SoundCloud, or Pandora?

Pandora, I guess? But I don’t really use any of them. I only tried Pandora for a time because it told you what genre the music is, and that was how I learned I listened to completely random and unrelated songs

is your room messy or clean?

Yes.

It’s messy, but it’s only dirty clothes really? So the second we do a major Laundry Sweep it suddenly becomes clean.

what color are your eyes?

Brown baby come an get dat chocolatttte

do you like your name? why?

Yes, because it’s tomboyish. When I was younger for some reason I really liked my friend’s name Emily, and wished that was my name instead. As I got older I liked my name more and more. I also love the 30 bajillion nicknames my name comes with. And I love my nickname Moon simply because from that nickname are 30 bajillion more nicknames.

how many friends do you have?

7. The seventh one I just made recently, and it’s still sort of iffy if we’ll actively be friends. We’ve known each other for years, and she’s called me her friend before, but we’ve never like. Hung out, or talked literally ever. But I’ve always thought she seemed like a cool person and someone I wanted to be friends with, and sometime last month or so (she was staying on our couch due to family complications) I outright told her “Hey, you seem like a cool person, and I’d love to be better friends with you J” and by some miracle that WORKED. She called me a nerd for that and we’ve saw Wonder Woman with our moms. I lent her a book from the library (The Goose Girl by Shannon Hale, wonderful book, literally the first in my favorite book series!), and she’s really loving it so far! We’re gonna hang out Sunday, so hopefully we click well and I truly will have successfully made my first friend where I was the one who approached!

whats the worst thing you have ever done?

One time when I was younger I had a fight with my mom. Recalling correctly, I was upset that she ‘loved God more than me’ and during that fight she ‘let go’ and said that I was more important to her. Immediately afterwards I made her take it back, and apologized profusely, and never said anything about her feeling God was more important ever again. And she forgave me, because that’s the kind of person she is, but I still feel like shit for it, and I’m so sorry I ever made her say that, whether she meant it or not. I feel so guilty about it even today. She told me that night that she let go so she could grab onto me and save me from drowning, and that even if she had let go, God would have never let her go, and he would save the both of us. I still wish I could make it so I’d never said that.

do you take any medications daily?

I do, antidepressants, which I started maybe 1 or 2 months ago after people suggesting I take medication for years

what is your skin type? (oily, dry, etc)

Perfect™

No but I guess it’s fine? I live in a dry area, but my skin isn’t dried out at all, even before I put lotion on constantly. The crown of my forehead/my nose get a bit oily, but splashing my face every morning basically takes care of that. I feel kind of bad for saying I don’t really have any skin problems

what is your biggest fear?

My loved ones hating me, dying, or being hurt from my own inept, or me being unable to help them

how many kids do you want?

Two. One boy, one girl (or if one wants to change/be whatever gender later in life I really don’t care). One that’s mine genetically, one I’ve adopted. Before I would have preferred giving birth to a boy since Devon was always my favorite boy name (and my only favorite name period), but with my sister being pregnant recently I’ve randomly thought about girl names as well so now I’m chill with having a boy or girl first so I can name them either Devon or Anaise/Astrid. God forbid I have twins that are both boys/girls since A) twins run in my family, and B) I’m having only two kids period so if I got twin boys/girls then that’s it I’m done that’s the end for me

whats your go to hair style?

Two French braids that stay in my head for the whole week

what type of house do you live in? (big, small, etc)

Me sending my group chat this

how old were you when you found out santa wasn’t real?

You think I put a date on that ish?? I dunno, I think I was still in my old house, so anywhere from 6-8 maybe?

what is your dream car?

A car that has no pollution/carbon footprint, runs on sunlight and electricity, and is reliable, also it doubles as a stray cat home that doesn’t kill them if I turn it on

opinion on smoking?

My entire older family (aunts, uncles, cousins, older brother/sister), smoked. My aunt is a cancer survivor and STILL smokes. My brother and sisters father died from lung cancer. My mother’s parents died from lung cancer. My father smokes (yet expects to live to 100???). My mother is probably the only person in her immediate family that was completely disgusted by smoking. My brother and sister vape now, in their attempt to quit, but my sister would take a hit of our aunts cigarettes every now and then. I hate smoking. It kills. It’s addictive. It’s a waste of your money and brain power. What’s worse is the people (like my sister and aunt), who don’t give a fuck if it will kill you down the road because, according to my sister, “once you reach like, 70, the fun parts over, now you start dying anyways”. Fuck you. What about everyone you’re leaving behind? FUCK you. If you get cancer it’s not just you that’s affected, it’s everyone you love and care about. Your parents, your siblings, your friends, your children. They don’t want to see you die like this, decrepit, and weak. They want to see you healthy, and having fun, and HAPPY. Do they really mean so little to you that you would LITERALLY KILL YOURSELF just because of a 2-minute dopamine rush? I hate people like that. I will never date someone who smokes. That is 100% a deal breaker. I will never, EVER go through what my mother went through with her husband, and what so many others must have gone through.

My opinion on smoking is that it needs to be buried, like all the people it’s already killed.

Anything with animals and where I can make a difference in the animal community

would you rather live in rural areas or the suburbs?

Rural areas. I hate the city and people

do you take shampoo and conditioner bottles from hotels?

100% I paid a shit ton of money for this room and you don’t even provide free snacks. I brought my own shampoo/condition but you can bet your ass I’m taking all of theirs

do you have freckles?

Yes? No? Does it count if it’s like, one freckle? It’s not a cluster of freckles, but I have a lot of freckle-spots on the right side of my face, random other parts of my face, and various other parts of my body (and one where like, my dude the sun don’t shine there how’s you get there???)

have you ever won a spelling bee?

No, but I was in a spelling bee! Literally no idea how I got in, I think the best speller of each class was just. Automatically put in? I was naturally good at spelling and randomly got in the spelling bee, was terrified of being on stage, and got my first word wrong because the fuck? How did I get in this?? I’m 9, I’m not studying for this get me off this Awful Stage stop looking at me

Writing, drawing, video games, teasing my cats, roleplaying, and hiking if I was anywhere away from the city

Yes!

do you play an instrument?

Does my voice count?

what was the last concert you saw?

Hilary Duff, when I was like 12. First and only concert I’ve ever seen in my life. Almost the best night of my tiny 12 year old life, but my friend’s mom was a dick and told me to calm down when I was screaming, singing, and cheering, and I spent the rest of the concert sitting in my seat and feeling embarrassed and awkward. Who the fuck tells a 12 year old to calm down when she’s at her first concert with her best friend with their favorite artist in the world??? You’re a fucking dick biscuit, Friend’s Mom.

do you like your neighbors?

Hell no they’re all awful

do you wash your face? at night? in the morning?

In the morning. And “wash” is a bit formal, my face-washing is more of a splash-your-face-wake-up-you-lazy-bastard kind of washing.

My Favorite Video Games

I’m gonna be talking about my favorite video games, what I grew up with and how they changed my life into the wonderful beardo that I am today. So I’m gonna start off by saying that I’m not really an Xbox player, I’ve never owned any Xbox stations or any Xbox games I always found that Xbox was more along the lines of first-person shooters and sports games and that’s not really my cup of tea.

I’m more into JRPGs and stuff like that. It really started back when I was 16 years old and I played a ton of basketball back then like I thought I was gonna go pro because I was so good. But then I wound up breaking my ankle and I had to sit for 6 weeks and I thought what the hell am I gonna do for 6 weeks– so I got a PlayStation. And with that PlayStation, I got Final Fantasy VII and then my whole life changed.

This was the first JRPG that I’ve ever played and I just absolutely fell in love with it. I played it, I beat it all, I put in 100 hours for the first time I played and then I played it 3 more times. I beat the game four times! Putting in 100 hours each time at least! I even got Aeris to level 100 with her final limit break before the end of disk one. That’s how hardcore I was. I am a level grinder. I will get everyone to as high level as humanly possible so I can just beat the rest of the storyline very easily. I don't see anything wrong~ with a little game and grind~ From Final Fantasy VII, my love of Final Fantasy grew so I wound up playing FF8, FF9, FF10, and FF10-2 Couldn’t play 11 because that was online and I’m not a fan of online games. Played FF12, I’ve played 13, 13-2 and I’m finishing up 13-3 now as well.

I’ve played both Final Fantasy Tactics and then I went back and played FF4, 5, and 6. I like Final Fantasy. In fact, before coming to Korea, one of my dreams– because I noticed that I love to play the games– but the dialogue and the storytelling is sometimes quite stupid. So I thought that maybe one day I’d move to Japan, I’d learn Japanese, and I’d start working for Square Enix and then I’d fix all their terrible dialogue. And I’d fire their voice actors because FF10– Whoa Titus, you are annoying. It’s still a fun game. It’s my second favorite Final Fantasy.

After FF7, I really got into Metal Gear Solid as well. I think I’ve played just about every single Metal Gear Solid except for the virtual mission things that aren’t real story lines. I haven’t played Revengeance yet but that’s next on my hit list. Outside of that, one of my favorite games of all time was Shadow of the Colossus. I pretty much played that whole thing in one sitting. I didn’t step away from the TV until I had finished the very last boss. Seriously one of the most beautiful games I’ve ever played in my entire life and if you haven’t played it yet, they have a remastered version for the PS3 Definitely pick that up because it is just–it’s just gorgeous. More along the lines of JRPGs, I really also got into–fairly recently, Ninokuni. Last year I played that all It had all of the charm and all of the wonder and the magic. I’m pretty sure it’s partly created by the people at Studio Ghibli and I love all Studio Ghibli movies as well so this definitely had that feel for me. One of my favorite video game experiences of all time.

Very similar to Ninokuni, I also wound up playing Dragon Quest 8. This was definitely Martina’s least favorite game that I’ve ever played. *Hums Dragon Quest battle song* Did you explain why I don’t like it? because I was writing an essay for the university for one of my final year courses and all I hear is: *Hums Dragon Quest battle song* Oh no! The Metal King Slime ran away. See, I was a very good university student so I made sure that I finished all of my essays as soon as the topics were handed out because I was very diligent so I could spend the rest of my time playing video games. I don’t really play that many racing games either.

The only racing game that I really got into was Burnout Revenge that was super fun Only because I didn’t really care about winning the game as much as knocking people into cliffs and making them explode in slow motion in ripito fifito sipa slow motion. Man, I wish I knew that song when I played that game when I was younger. One racing game I am very very serious about though is Mario Kart Seriously you will never ever ever beat me in Mario Kart Give me Toad and you’re done for I am god tier level Mario Kart player. I don’t lose, that’s it. -That’s a lie. -Shut it! You’re supposed to be sick! Another game that I take very seriously is Super Smash Bros.

Except I only got into it with the Gamecube version, I didn’t play the Nintendo64 version. And then I really got into it for the Wii because they had Snake in there and I played with Snake all the time and I was incredibly cheap except I only lost when I played online because they got all the kirbys! I played against three different kirbys! And by three, I mean three! and they would all suck me in and they would walk off the cliff and they would spit me out and they’d fly away and I wouldn’t be able to get back and they were so cheap! Also when it come to Super Smash, I don’t play a lot of fighting games.

The only other game that’s I played a lot that’s really for fighting is Marvel vs. Capcom 2 again, I’m pretty much god level at that. Get me Cable, Guile and Rogue and you’re dead. Dead do you hear me?! You don’t have a chance Remember when we went to Japan and you played against people live and they killed you No! I beat them in Japan as well! Nobody beats me at Marvel vs. Capcom 2. Nobody. I do play some games with Martina as well. We really got into Super Mario Galaxy together. Of course, I’d be Mario and she’d be the little star thing that would get all the star bits and freeze all the enemies for me.

That was one of our most precious bonding moments for video games. I never really got into Zelda but I do want to get into it more. The only time that I actually played it was for the Nintendo DS for the Phantom Hourglass. I loved that game. I never played any of the older ones. But now with the Wii, I’m really waiting for Hyrule Warriors as soon as I’m finished playing Child of Light, which is a super fun game as well. I’m probably gonna get into the Windwaker HD remake because I heard that’s a really fun game too Another very big game that Martina and I play together is Katamari. We played it for PS2. We played it for the PS3. We played it on the PS VITA as well. We love that game, we play it together all the time. BAAAAA~ In fact you might notice the references that we make to Katamari in our ‘How to Eat Ramen Like a Pro’ video because it’s a really big factor in our lives. In fact, for the cosplay convention that we just went to, I really wanted to dress up as Katamari but I didn’t know how to pack a gigantic ball in a suitcase like that so maybe next time, if it’s like a local cosplay convention, I’ll do Katamari.

I have to be the King of the Cosmos and I’ll wear those tights. In fact, we like that game so much that we actually play the soundtrack when we drive to work sometimes. *gasp* I forgot about Skyrim! It’s not really a JRPG. Martina got me that game for my birthday a couple years ago and that’s how I spent my birthday. We didn’t go out for dinner or anything she’s just like, “Here’s a game, play it’ And that’s all I did for my birthday and it was really great. It’s probably one of my favorite games ever. Again, I’m a level grinder so I haven’t actually advanced at all in the main storyline of that game. I’m level 100 in alchemy, one hand wielding, dual wielding, blocking, destruction magic, speechcraft as well.

I don’t even know about the main chants or anything, I just level grind a whole lot. Anyhow, so that’s it for this week’s TL;DR. I’m gonna talk about a few more of my favorite games in our blog post so make sure you click on the link here if you’d want to geek out with me over video games as well. I know it’s not as popular as the manga and anime topic that Martina did last time but I’m sure we got a few gamers here that who are interested as well. In fact the next major tattoo that I plan on getting, I’m planning on getting a whole sleeve from here down to here, full of my favorite video game characters and also some comic characters so I’m not necessarily sure who I’m gonna put in there yet so if you have any suggestions, I’d love to hear what you think.

Or if you have any favorite video games that you grew up with, let me know because I’m sure there are a whole ton that I forgot. Those are the main ones that stuck in my head but let me know and then we could all squeal together over our favorite video games. For the TL;DR that Martina did by herself about animes, mangas, and manhwas, we had an amazing comment section there. It felt like we were with our people. I think we had something like 70 thousand million billion comments about everybody’s favorite animes. Martina wound up asking you a question about a manga that she couldn’t remember the name for, the answer was Black Alice. Thank you to the 7,000 people who gave that answer. If you want to have a gigantic reading list that will last you for the rest of your life, make sure you check out the comments for both the blog post and the Youtube video because there are so many awesome recommendations from people who are really passionate about the topic as well.

Now if you don’t mind, now that I’m done filming I’m gonna go back to playing Child of Light which is a really really gorgeous game. Like wow. That is some beautiful artwork there. So I’m gonna stop talking because I wanna go play. Goodbye. I’m gonna stop..

[byrnelokomo]

like i know oot gets you all worked up brad because you're in your 30's and this was your favorite game as a 13yo when it first came out and you're still ranting about how AWESOME and GROUNDBREAKING it was back in the day, and fine, fair, maybe i'm a little biased too because PH was my first zelda game back when i was a kid and i adored it, you're allowed to love something for the sheer nostalgia of it okay. that's fine and understandable. but the Thing where people to this day continue to hold it up as some sort of....idk game messiah is so overdone and annoying. i know it was good back then, and it was groundbreaking, but it's not anymore, and refusing to let that go and then also hating several perfectly fine entries in the franchise because...i don't know? because nintendo hit the market with like 5 or 6 amazing titles in a row starting a year after that with those same groundbreaking graphics and stuff, and then one of the first things they do after that whole goldrush of games is phantom hourglass, which i could see as seeming underwhelming after the new standard was set?

but they're not bad games.

i know we meme a lot in the terribly horribly small DS game fandoms about how these games don't get enough recognition, but they deserve more recognition. like! everybody says that they're bad or stupid or immature idfk and everyone else reads that and decides they're not Respected Media™ and then don't even consider them proper games in the franchise! and that's a gotdamn travesty.

i'm not gonna claim phantom hourglass or spirit tracks can compete with majora's mask in terms of emotional complexity, or twilight princess in gameplay, or wind waker in plotline--but they were never meant to. the sheer fact they were exclusively ds games should exhibit that. they were supposed to be cute, fun, simple zelda games aimed at kids on the younger end of the spectrum who played on their ds's, and they succeeded in what they were trying to create.

and like. what more do you need? they are cutesy, genuinely enjoyable games and the amount of backlash and controversy they get for....not being nintendo's Next Big Hit is ridiculous.

i'm starting to wear down on my rant bc i'm tired but like. y'all. the ds games are fun and sweet and deserve more fans. please give them a chance.

gamer bros who hold ocarina of time up as the PINNACLE of gaming despite it being boring af 20 years old while continuing to shit on phantom hourglass and spirit tracks despite them being genuinely good games makes me so fucking mad

[chandelierslayer]

So... I also noticed while going through my archive that I tend to reblog other people’s stuff and go on huge rants/rambles/analysis-fests, while still piggybacking on their stuff, instead of making a whole new post. So I figured I’d fix that while I’m at it. I meant to start this sooner but NaNoWriMo has me pretty preoccupied. And I was sleeping way too much for a while. BUT ANYWAY ENOUGH ABOUT MY PERSONAL LIFE. Here’s the big rant about Zelda and how much I care for her (even though hearing her speak irritates me):

Also, keep in mind that this is in regards to the end of BotW, so if you don’t want spoilers... Well, I tagged this as spoilers so yeah.

I hate that she only talked about Link and Ganon and the fate of Hyrule etc. Just once, I wanted to hear her say ……

…..Actually, I don’t know what I wanted to hear her say. I don’t know. In all honesty, I just wanted to hug her. Like. I just want to sit her down and hug her and be like NO girlfriend, let’s talk about YOU for a minute. I’m gonna make you some fruitcake and tea and we’re gonna just chill and you can cry it out as much as you need to or whatever, just focus on YOURSELF for a minute.

You’ve been locked in this situation of keeping the reincarnation of the demon king sealed away so he can’t hurt anyone for a hundred years. A HUNDRED YEARS. 100 YEARS. There’s no way that was easy, even WITH the power of the Goddess and the Light Force and the Triforce of Wisdom (um… Triforce? It looked like the whole thing when she killed him. Are we departing from the “each of these three people gets one” system? ANYWAY). I can’t even begin to imagine what that would be like. How did your mind stay intact, honestly? I just.

You gave up everything. You wanted to have a fulfilled life, chasing your dreams, being a total fucking nerd and studying the things that fascinated you. You had goals. You had a life. And when the signs of the Calamity showed up you jumped to the task willingly, thinking “Oh yeah, my knowledge of ancient shit is gonna help us save the world, this is gonna be great” but then your dad forced you to leave that behind and go try to awaken the power of your bloodline. And you went. It was the RIGHT decision, because that power would be needed to take down Ganon, but that doesn’t make it FAIR. In ten seconds flat you went from happy kid studying things she loved for fun, to stressed-out kid beating herself up relentlessly because no matter how hard she tried she couldn’t feel the sacred power, couldn’t do the ONE THING that was expected of her, the one thing that could help her save the world. You took the weight of the world on your shoulders, literally, and even when your power finally awakened, you STILL felt like a failure because it was too little, too late. Your champions had all fallen, including your knight. You had to go take on the demon king. Alone. And a hundred years later when everything’s over you’re like “I’ve been watching over you all this time” like wtf get out of town are you serious right now? You didn’t even think about yourself, you just. I’m crying right now, y’all, for real. Oh my gosh. This woman.

Okay now that my face is dry…

I’m not even gonna BEGIN to get into how much I hate that Sacrifice at the Expense of the Self is always portrayed in shit as this great amazing noble thing because it’s BULLSHIT, it’s NOT noble, it’s fucking STUPID, and I get that in this case she had no choice BUT to sacrifice everything to save the world etc. because she was literally the only one, but PEOPLE WRITE SCENARIOS LIKE THAT ALL THE EFFING TIME. Especially with female characters. Like. You have a CHOICE. The people who wrote this story had a CHOICE, and they CHOSE to go this route. …Oh look, I said I wouldn’t go into it, and here I am, going into it.

Seriously though, I’m glad this was a Zelda who actually DID THINGS (there are more of them than people think), but I hate that her doing things happened at the expense of herself. Her life. Even before she lost her dad and saw her kingdom torn to pieces, she had to turn away from the things she loved and her very way of life as she knew it to chase some faerie tale she wasn’t even sure would work. Nothing is of her own agency, except that one final decision, once everyone else had fallen and her power was finally awakened, to walk back up to the castle and imprison Ganon by herself. And I mean. Hah. Right. “Decision”. Like she really had a choice in the matter. That moment is the most bittersweet. I just. UGH.

Zelda never really gets to shine without being diminished in some way. The Zeldas in the first three games (And ALBW) were just there to be rescued, the Zelda in Ocarina of Time got to help out a ton while in disguise (via cross-dressing! A++) but once she reveals her pink-dress-wearing, non-ninja self she’s reduced to yet another DiD. And an overly helpless one at that, for the sake of a last-minute race against the clock challenge. I mean, you can blast Ganon with a huge-ass beam of light, and lift up iron bars like it’s nothing, but you can’t dispel some flames and kill some basic monsters? I call bullshit. Oracles Zelda was only there for the linked game ending so the bad guys could try to sacrifice her to resurrect Ganon (weeee), and the Zeldas in the Four Swords trilogy were hardly there. WW and TP’s Zeldas are finally badass, though, the one in TP was forced to surrender her rule to a usurper king and sit by quietly - though she did get to do stuff later in the game. Tetra, on the other hand, was a badass pirate captain. Buuuuuut once her identity is revealed, again, she’s reduced to Princess Form, even having her clothes change magically from pirate garb to a pink dress (is that… did you put MAKEUP on her? With MAGIC? That’s not her skin tone! UGH.) for no reason whatsoever. What makes me happy is that in Phantom Hourglass, she’s gone back to her pirate threads and refuses to be called a princess. And rightly so! The world in which she was a child of the royal family is gone now, sealed beneath the ocean forever. She never knew that world. The Great Sea is where she’s really from. Just because you have a bloodline doesn’t mean anything, it doesn’t change who you are. Thank you for letting her be herself, Nintendo. YES I HAVE A LOT OF FEELINGS ABOUT THIS.

Spirit Tracks Zelda probly did the most out of them all, because she came along on the journey the whole way, albeit as a ghost most of the time (it’s a long story). And SS Zelda is another self-sacrifice person. Impa’s like “Lemme explain what happened forever ago and who you are and what you need to do and why” and she’s just like “Okay!” and does all the things. No second-guessing, no complaining, she just goes on this long journey and eventually seals herself away to save the world (please tell me this is not gonna become the trend) with nothing but faith that it’s gonna work out. I just.

YOU ARE SUCH A GOOD CHILD FOR SAVING THE WORLD AND DOING WHAT’S RIGHT BUT YOU ARE A PERSON TOO AND YOU MATTER AND YOUR THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS MATTER AND YOU DESERVE TO CARE ABOUT YOURSELF AND I LOVE YOU AND I DON’T KNOW WHAT I’M SAYING ANYMORE IT’S LATE AND I NEED TO GO TO BED I HAVE WORK IN THE MORNING BUT PLEASE CHILD JUST TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF OKAY?

Here, have some old tags, just because they add to the ranting:

Hey, let’s talk about the awesome kids I have as neighbors :D

So there are a few kids in my building who like to come over and play video games. Them, along with my friend/their older brother Tay, all roast each other and play video games on the weekends (though it has been sans Tay, since he’s off in the army for a while ; w ;). The kids still come over on occasion regardless. I tend to refer to them as “my kids,” to my friends. Most of these kids are siblings, except for two, who aren’t related to the other like, 5 or so, but are cousins to each other.

First up is

Nyla: She’s a cute little, six or so?, year old. For her age, she’s pretty good a smash bros, though obviously she’s not great, cuz she’s only six. She doesn’t come around as often anymore (mostly because I grew very tired of essentially babysitting. Smash isn’t quite as fun when one of your opponents has a hard time getting back on stage, and interrupts the FITE you’re trying to have with someone else, as well as getting pouty and crying when she loses a lot. Not fun at all). When she is here and plays though, we have realized she is not good enough to be an opponent (obviously), but dangerous enough to not be ignored (Little Mac is her favorite and that sucker hits hard). We call her the Stage Hazard.

 Next we have Young, about 10 or 11 or something like that. Young’s kind of a spazzy kid. And I feel like I might be making bad assumptions or something, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he was autistic or something of that nature (keeping in mind that I don’t know, and it certainly doesn’t make a difference to me if he is, just something I’ve thought might be possible). I also have no idea what signs of autism are, nor do I know any common behaviors beyond the extremely stereotyped “bad social skills, likes trains” stereotype (which I’m sure is an incredibly over-generalization).

His social skills aren’t fantastic and he just kinda says random things sometimes? He’s a good kid though, but he’s certainly not good at playing nice with the other kids, y’know? But then, the other kids are also not very nice to him either (it’s kind of a back and forth thing. They’d be nicer if he was nicer, but he’s not, so then they’re meaner to him, and then he’s meaner back and just endless circle of boo). If he’s over by himself he’s perfectly content just playing Super Mario Bros. for wii (his favorite one. He always restarts it for some reason every time he picks it up again), and talking to himself. He gets real salty real fast is smash though, and him and his brother usually slap each other at least once when they’re playing smash. If he’s getting pouty it’s pretty easy to cheer him up by making him laugh (usually by way of threatening to tickle him). His other favorite game to play is Life is Strange, which obviously isn’t really the most appropriate game for a kid, but I didn’t feel like it was bad enough to say no. He really likes it, and it was interesting to sit and watch him think about what decisions to choose and why. He was pretty introspective with it tbh. He choose to have Chloe and Max kiss, and then acted like it was so scandalous, but he didn’t rewind and change it at all XD

At first I was 100% sure he only ever came over to play video games, but I have learned that he does indeed like me and think I’m nice. (At some point he made a grand exit to go play with some of his friends and he stopped at the door, turned to us and pointed at each one going “you suck, you suck, you suck,” *points at me* “you’re cool,” *points at last kid* “and you really suck, PEACE.” And just left XD Then again, one time he did promise me he’d beat me in smash over and over again so much that I’d get really mad and cry about it (to which I told him “kiddo, if you get good enough at smash that I lose multiple times in a row I will be the happiest person and super proud of you”). He seemed a bit confused and sad that I wasn’t gonna be salty about it XD One time his family went to Chuck-E-Cheese and he brought me back vampire teeth, like what a sweetheart?? I mean, they were too small for my adult teeth but I appreciate that he spent some tickets on me. Young’s favorite Smash characters are Cloud, Captain Falcon, and Ike (sometimes he picks up Little Mac).

 Next up is Leeniel (or LeeLee, as we call him. Also I have no idea how to spell his actual name): I think he’s maybe 12 or so? Lee’s actually not around very much. When he is here he’s usually quiet (though he does talk during the match and all that. We all gotta trash talk in this group). He likes to draw (in fact, for my birthday last month he drew me a very adorable picture of Toon Link, one of my smash mains. Like how sweet and awesome are my kids? I love them). I can’t really say much about Lee, other than he’s pretty cocky about his Smash Bros. skills (he’s better than Young, but still not better than Trell, who I’ll talk about in a bit). Lee’s favorite fighters are Link, Cloud, and Little Mac.

 Neeeext up is Solomon (or Solo, as we call him): Solo is a 16-year-old giraffe. Like I mean it, he’s fricking huge. He has to bend down to get through my doorway. I think he’s somewhere past 6”5, I believe? I don’t even know man. I do know that the best thing is when he comes by to visit after being gone a long while, he always picks me up. Being 5”2 and suddenly being hoisted way past your own height is great. Solomon is energetic, loud, funny, and a little immature. I know for a fact that he’s autistic, as his mother has randomly mentioned it to me (she was lamenting that it was hard for him to have friends his age, since he tends to be less mature than them). Solo doesn’t come around much, as he’s often living with his dad, and it seems he’s lost a lot of interest in smash. He’s tried to get me to buy Pokken Tournament, but like, I played it and it’s pretty meh? It’s okay, I just like Smash better (probably cuz I already put in the work for that one and I’m pretty good at it. I ain’t wanna start at ground zero again). I worry that if I buy it the other kids won’t play it with me as much (though they are children, if we’re being honest: if you build it, they will come, if I buy it, they will play lol). Solo I know for a fact hates Undertale, though he hasn’t played it for himself. It’s just the Undertale explosion he hates I figure, so sad, cuz it really is a great game that should be at least tried out once. He did surprise me by spotting my Journey game was like “muthafucker that game is beautiful.” XD So he’s got a short attention span and is pretty immature, but loves Journey. It’s fantastic honestly. Solo was actually the person who inspired me and Trell to get really good at the game, cuz we were on top until Solo came along and we realized “wait we actually have no idea how the FAKC to play this game.” I can proudly say I am now smash queen and Trell and Solo are about par with each other. Solo’s favorite characters are Little Mac and Samus (but mostly Little Mac).

 Next is Charni (Shar-nay), who I love and call her my Protégé. I think she’s around Young’s age, maybe a couple months older. I first met her when I was at Solomon’s house (another kid I’ll bring up in a sec). She’s his little cousin, I believe, and she was kinda shy and bored. I plopped down next to her and started showing her how to play Smash so she could play with us. She had quite the steep learning curve since none of the other kids would go easy on her for being new, but I made sure to praise her when she got a good hit, and show her what to do so she wouldn’t get discouraged. I’m proud to say she quickly adored smash and is a regular part of our game weekends when she’s in town :D She’s at about an equal level with Young (not surprising, since they’re the same age), though she tends to play a bit smarter than he does and is less predictable.

I made it my mission to try and make sure she ended up liking nerd things, and I’m happy to say it ended up that she did XD She’s reading some Legend of Zelda manga last time I saw her, and she knows a little about Undertale from some fan things, though she’s never actually played the game? I tried to get her to play it, but she got bored, so meh. She likes Steven Universe and Gravity Falls too! I let her wear my Dipper hat whenever she sees it. Sometimes I’ll come home from work or school and she’ll just be there, chillin’ with my mom and watching an old black and white movie. I’ll usually have to put my foot down like “hell naw it’s a weekday I ain’t dealing with you snots come back Friday.” It’s pretty obvious she looks up to me a lot, and gets really happy when I praise her. Sometimes the boys pick on her (like saying she’s fat in a derogatory manor or saying she sucks at the game. She’s not fantastic at Smash obviously, she’s still just a kid, but she’s certainly not as bad as they make her seem. And she’s not fat at all really? She’s not basically bones like I am, but she doesn’t look like she has serious weight on her? She’s like, 120lb or something and quite a few inches taller than me. Not ThaT theRE’S a pROoBlem if shE WaSS, just she’s really not fat, and I don’t like the other kids to be using the word fat in a derogatory manner. Body shaming is not okay in my house).

I love her hair to, it’s fantastic. I believe she’s black and Hawaiian, and my god that Polynesian wavy hair is so fantastic I wish it was mine. I’ve gotten her to play Breath of the Wild, Mario Odyssey, and Phantom Hourglass (not that it took much convincing, lol), and she’s pretty good at them honestly! :D Sometimes she doesn’t want to play games though and she’ll just plop next to me while I’m on my computer and read funny Tumblr posts or webcomics with me, she’s adorbs. She’s a tough cookie, and she can get salty about Smash sometimes, but she’s usually a pretty good sport. Sometimes when it’s just us practicing, she’ll tell me to go at her 100%, and then quickly start yelling for me to stop when I do XD. For my birthday she made like, typography of Link’s name and colored it. So sweet. Her favorite fighters are Corrin, Dark Pit, and recently her brawler Mii that she made.

 Next up is my favorite child (but don’t tell the others) Latrell (or just Trell): Trell’s a fantastic kid honestly. I think he’s like, 13/14 or so? I always say he’s 12 though, just cuz it ticks him off. Trell is easily my biggest rival in smash, as we’re just about at the same level (though I’m still reigning champ). He tells me that I’m a sore winner (I mean, I celebrate when I win, but it’s not like I jump up and dance and sing about what a loser everyone is. So that’s the salt talking ;3), but then he’s actually a sore winner/loser. If he loses enough time he’ll start trying to slap me or get pouty enough to need a break, and if he wins (or god forbid starts winning a few times in a row), he’ll start rubbing it in my face. And when I lose I tend to laugh and be like ‘dangnabit that suck, next time I got this’, but obviously losing starts to suck when some little twerp starts acting like he’s hot shit cuz he won the last 4 rounds and cuts you off with proclamations about what a loser you are – like, not even in a joking way either XD At some point I had to stop playing against him one day cuz he was getting really mean about me winning. Like, tone it down child we’re all friends here.

Most of the time he’s a great kid, though like most children he’ll have his moments. He likes to help me cook and bake and likes to sing. One of my favorite things is that I think he sort of came out to me last month or so, but in like the lamest way possible. Keeping in mind I knew he wasn’t straight (I figured he was either gay or bisexual, but I wasn’t sure), waaaaaaay long time ago. Like, I think before he knew kind of a thing? There were obvious stereotypical signs, but I don’t really like to assume, so I figured until I had confirmation that he did like boys or girls or both, I’d just use gender-neutral terms and stuff. He likes a lot of musicals, celebrity gossip, RuPal’s Drag Race, y’know the totally-not-stereotypical interests of gay culture – it’s really a miracle I picked up on it at all it was so subtle. He’d also made mention to several boys being cute, or that a few of his male classmates had a crush on him (or vice versa), so I knew he was interested in boys at least. Girls were yet to be seen (though I knew he’d had a girlfriend or something in the past, but I didn’t know if it was because he was interested in both, or if it was a ‘I didn’t know I was interested in boys, so I had a girlfriend’, kind of thing).

There was this one conversation that I still look back on and laugh. He was talking about his crush, and that he was worried about them cuz they were getting wisdom teeth pulled out and (since I work part time at an oral surgeon’s place), I just said “wisdom teeth? Oh he’ll be fine calm down.”

And he looks at me all mock-offended and goes “Did you just assume my crush’s gender??”

“That depends – was I right?”

“Listen that’s not the point here”

Anyways I official learned he was bisexual when he made me watch a movie called GBF (Gay Best Friend, which, I don’t know if this movie is revolutionary in the gay community or anything, but I’m sorry it’s an awful fucking movie. This kid gets forcefully outed by some app, and then the popular girls were all clamoring to get him to be their best friend, because a gay best friend was the hot new commodity they just had to have like he’s a new fricking purse for them to customize so they could win their petty popular girl war. And then there was like, a prom war/prom sabotage thing? Either way it’s a dumb-ass movie. Also waaaaaay too inappropriate for this 13/14 year old to have watched? Like, in one scene a Mormon dude in it was being all bi-curious and 100% starts trying to rub off our Main Character in a truck, and another scene of one of the popular girls is like dry humping one of the dude characters in a bed and like omg I wasn’t expecting it to get that inappropriate + my mom walked in right at the truck scene and I died inside. Like you are too young for this go watch some Duck Tales fool what are you doing).

Anyways, at the end of the movie he just goes “guess I already got you you’re GBF, haha lloloeeleolol :D ;D XDDD.”

And I just gave him this fed-up look like “did you just come out to me with the worst movie I’ve ever seen??? Even though I clearly already knew?????”

“Yes. Also it’s actually BBF.”

And I was just like “Trell you’re hilarious and everything, but if you ever show me a movie as bad as GBF ever again I will punch you in the throat.” And then I shoved him off the couch.

Since the GBF movie I swear he’s been making 10x more LBGT jokes. We have a tube of muscle relaxer or whatever called Bengay, and anytime he happens to see it he’ll pick it up and loudly announce “heh, yeah, I’ve been-gay before lelel” which usually ends up with my snatching the Bengay and launching it across the room.

And he’s like, 14, so I wouldn’t be surprised if his sexuality changed at all in the future, but for now at least he’s stated he’s bisexual. Either way, he’s the sweetest and funniest kid, and I do my best to know he’s more than accepted in my home.

Anyways, Trell is absolute incapable of playing single player games. I tried to get him to play Mario Odyssey and he got as far as pressing the jump button before he melted off the couch and complained that it was torture. He loves to challenge me to Pikmin, but won’t play the single player campaign (I got him to play like, halfway through the first level and that’s it). His favorite characters in smash are aaaaaall of them. He’s more of an all-arounder for the characters, and sometimes he’ll switch and have a new main for a while. Sometimes he’ll get butthurt about being beaten by Pikachu and Toon Link, cuz he says they were his mains first and he only stopped cuz I used them (which for some reason all the kids feel like they need to ask me to use Pikachu or Toon Link, and I have NO IDEA why. Like the fuck use whoever you want it’s a fricken game I don’t own them). The characters he goes back to most though are: Peach, Zero Suit Samus, and Villager (usually the girl skins).

And while he’s not child, why don’t I bring up the older bro Tay: Tay is really bad at smash but he keeps on trying and I’m proud of him XD His favorite characters are Samus and Ganondorf.

Aaaaand that’s all I wanted to say bye
