What's your favorite team so far? ⌛

SO FAR? I DON'T HAVE A FAVORITE TEAM YET. HOWEVER THE MAGICIANS LOOK ENTERTAINING!

[dailymanners]

When entering any place of business, such as a store or restaurant, if a staff member greets you, then acknowledge them and greet them back.

Although for many jobs it's a required part of their job to greet you, especially retail workers, receptionists, and restaurant workers to name a few, that doesn't make it feel any less dehumanizing to say "Hello!" to another human being only for them to ignore you. Acknowledging staff members and greeting them back is important for acknowledging their humanity, they are, after all, a human being, and not an automated machine.

This is also important when going to check out at a store. If you approach the cash register, and the cashier greets you, you should acknowledge them and greet them back. Cashiers already have to deal with being dehumanized enough. The least you can do is help humanize them by acknowledging them when they greet you and speak to you.

THATS WHAT IM SAYIN

This is a literal death game why are people surprised there's been murder 😭

[saturnniidae]

I like to think Hiccup has whole 'conversations' with Toothless that are essentially incomprehensible to anyone but them (they consist of little human language–mostly draconic noises and body language as well as signals/cues specific to Hiccup and Toothless) the other riders are used to it at this point, but a lot of people are very much not and find it incredibly confusing.

Its started a lot of rumors of Hiccup being some 'dragon whisperer' that can actually speak to and command them and the other riders tease him about it relentlessly because he despises the rumors and always tries to correct them. Like every time they're brought up he'll say something along the lines of "No. If u actually pay attention to and connect with them, adapting to their way of communication isn't hard. I don't actually speak with them ur just not observant enough" and is constantly ignored

(This is kind of a follow-up to another post but I didn't want to tack it onto a rb)

Who is allowed to send asks? Is it restricted or a Patreon thing?

Anyone can send asks! But I only manage to respond to a small portion of them, sorry. I'm just one person.

That's... Still using the stone. That's still one genocider using the souls of the people he murder-transmuted to heal a different genocider and his cronies so that they could attain the class positions they desired. Whether the energy of the stone is what healed Musked-Stank or whether it was a bargaining chip is irrelevant to the point of absurdity.

A lot of mangahood fans just stubbornly refuse to see the actions of their beloved blorbos as the racist, fascist bullshit it is.

Used to be the Hinge Standouts section was full of people I knew were too hot for me, but now it is full of people comfortably in my league. Why have they put my peers behind a paywall.

ARMY OF THE DOOMSTAR SPOILERS UNDERNEATH CUT

[How would Toki react to certain triggers? Sort of a brain dump here lol]

With the passing of a certain patriotic holiday, I begin to wonder how fireworks would affect Toki. The explosion and smoke at their Label Managers' funeral had to have had some kind of effect on the way he interprets it- I'm not saying it would trigger his PTSD though. He has too much wonder for the sight of such colorful lights, I DO think he would freak out if he got overwhelmed.

Like imagine a Dethklok new year's party, tons of insane and over-the top explosions? He might need to step away for a minute to calm down, do something comforting later on to take his mind off the anxiety brought on by the rumbling floors and the bright explosions. I don't think this would be overreacting at all considering he was stabbed and tortured following the initial Kabooms he DID almost meet his hamburger time after days of being tortured

People over-infantize his thought process and the way he reacts to certain situations just because he can be childish, but considering everything he's been through I think after Doomstar army would be where his years of coping would come to fruition? Lemme give another hypothetical-

"Hey guys these sounds is freakings me outs. I'm goings in my rooms to colors or somethings."

I try to justify he idea that he would respond this way and then I remember he was literally punching everyone in sight the second Charles got distracted and let his attention slip lmfao I don't know what I'm talking about enjoy my brain dump

You can't keep them all caged, they will fight and run away - 🖊

RABBIT'S CAN ONLY RUN SO FAR HARPY HARE, SOON THE JAWS OF JUDGEMENT WILL CLAMP DOWN AND SNUFF OUT THEIR CRIES.

i know i dont know any of these people on tumblr or tiktok personally but it really rattles me when i see someone say something very passionately and then five minutes later i see them agreeing with the opposite view with equal passion 😭 or if i disagree with someone and it makes them completely flip their view with no real discussion

like how many of you are just people pleasers 😭 i mean this in the kindest way possible, nothing you say has any real value if you would change your opinion for no reason other than someone on the internet said so

[brekwrites]

I feel like the narrative has designated Eclipse as the recipient of a redemption arc and is dragging him, kicking and screaming, into scenarios that will lead to one. I wanted to hop on the bandwagon. And also write Solarmoon. So I did both.

About your bandit trio...

I'd love to hear more if you have any or want to! I love madcom aus and ocs so much, they are the coolest.

Thanks! <333

Sorry for the late response!! I saw this late the other night but I was already tired and now I'm writing this later LOL

SO! I'm glad you asked! I'm a bit of a perfectionist so sadly I don't have something I drew that I like enough to show yet, but I can give the current lore summary instead to make up for it!

The Whole Gang

Douglas, Duffus, and Duncan. Much of what they do is really jokey, but in regards to the entire AU, it isn't supposed to overshadow the overarching theme of the story. It follows these bandits in their struggle for survival as they become pawns for a bigger story behind the scenes, their lives rewritten and their fate manipulated on the fly by an outside power.

Douglas

The eldest and shortest of the group, Douglas used to be much like the average cannibalistic and violent bandit living in the Outskirts -- that was, until, he met Duffus. Since then, Douglas changed his lifestyle drastically, retiring to a more peaceful way of life with Duffus in the Hovel far from where many other bandits live. He's still rather eccentric, but he's grown much more friendly and even dropped his cannibalistic diet to make Duffus happy. He trusts Duffus with his life and quite literally has several times before

Douglas often gets ahead of himself and drones on and on when retelling any story on his mind, which usually annoys everyone but Duffus. He gets lost in thought, often relying on Duffus to help him. Despite this, he's still intelligent, as he's able to navigate through tough situations if age or madness doesn't catch him first. He just wants to spend the rest of his life peacefully with his only companion in these wastes, as he's given up on a better future long ago. He's content with what he has.

(a doodle of Douglas and Duffus' current designs)

Duffus

Though Duffus is a G03LM bandit by affiliation, he's not a bandit brute. Unlike them, Duffus has maintained his friendly and polite demeanor even after everything life throws at him. Duffus was a servant in Nexus City before the outbreak, serving as a butler for his abusive masters. As such, zeds were the least of their problems when much of the masters' fleet of G03LMs revolted against them to take advantage of the chaos. Duffus, however, was unable to bring himself to join their revolt, and as such, Duffus was persistently bullied by the G03LM survivors even when years had passed and they had evolved into bandit brutes.

Douglas would find his battered corpse deep in the city during one of his rare supply runs, and he would go on to resuscitate him. Since then, Duffus has become Douglas' shadow, following him wherever he goes and ensuring his safety. Duffus didn't immediately become loyal to him the moment he was brought back from death, rather, their current relationship was a result of years of trust built over time and their strong bond shows it. Duffus doesn't speak often and usually tries to blend in with the background, an unusually stealthy skill he gained over years of solitude. By the time you hear him, it's too late.

Duncan

The newest addition to the bandit group is Duncan, a survivor who spent almost his entire life within the confines of the residential sector. Duncan is taller and much younger than Douglas (though Duffus beats him out on both). Duncan is a motorhead, having spent many years before and after the outbreak obtaining a motorcycle and repairing it with the hope that he could ride out far away one day and get the freedom he so craves. In the present day, he's finally ready to head out, but after an encounter with the MERC on the way out of the city, he escaped with his life at the cost of totally trashing his bike, forcing him to seek refuge with the bandit pair in the Hovel.

Unlike most survivors, who preferred to live up high and away from the dangers below, Duncan spent most of his time down there with the zeds and other threats using his street smarts to make it out alive. His method of survival involves being hard-headed and selfish, threatening and intimidating others to get what he needs, which unfortunately ends up seeping into his relationship with the Hovel bandits he met. They often clash especially since Duncan doesn't want to stay with them longer than he needs to, leading to him often stranding the duo in danger. Still, Duncan is the most experienced in combat of the three, giving the trio a much-needed man skilled with firearms. And, sometimes, just sometimes, he allows himself to be vulnerable and humble for once.

Mr. M

Mr. M is an enigmatic figure who pops up from time to time in their story. He's seemingly nothing more than a sentient zed merchant (though that in itself is still strange), but over time, the bandit trio learns more about the true nature of Mr. M as he's shown to potentially be a higher power of sorts, though his true identity is ambiguous. He starts as a source of rare goodies for the trio so as long as they accept to run his "errands". Eventually, these contracts mutate into something that the trio is unable to decline as they're forced to commit to more dangerous missions and learn more things they were never supposed to know. Mr. M is deeply knowledgeable about the hidden mechanics of Nevada, and he uses that to his advantage as his manipulations of reality begin to upset certain parties...

And yeah, that's it so far! A lot of this is still early in writing and design so don't be surprised if something changes, but this is the gist of it! ^_^

Hello!

I was wondering if you could recommend any explanation or summary videos of Every man hybrid? I do not have enough time to watch all of the videos lmao, it was the same for marble hornets before I watched a summary of that :)

I actually don’t have any recs, sorry anon!!😭

Emh explanation videos are crap, they never talk about the letters or tapes that are super important *cough* nightmind *cough*.

Unless you watch it for yourself, you’re not gonna be able to understand anything properly and you won’t, I guess, enjoy it?? It’s a series that needs your attention and it’s important to build a relationship/opinion with characters so you can REALLY enjoy it (I sound like a geek sorry)

Another thing, most of the explanation videos are longer than the actual series, Emh cannot be explained well…at all. The videos themselves aren’t long at all, it’s not like marble hornets, the longest thing is the Princeton tapes but you can listen to them over the course of a few days.

There’s no rush on watching emh and it’s not hard to keep up with lore at all, there’s playlists on YouTube with everything in it and on the wiki you can find the letters, which are very important

I know you said you don’t have time to watch it but maybe whenever you do have time, you should give it a go!

It’s worth it, I promise :}
