#hahaha i’m one of the npcs

[halfpastdead]

just remembered gwent exists

[thatoneguydownthestreet]

I have no clue if your taking requests so ignore this if you not

But if you are... hear me out housewardens (manly leona) try and get apocalypse y/n into a bath

I say this because in your hc ut says leona throws up when they first met. So yeah

Ao3 is down and i’m pissed. also here's some music

FEM ALIGNED PLEASE DNI

Dorms make you take a damn bath.

Riddle Rosehearts: 

you were, for some ungodly reason, confused on why his face looks like someone force fed him sixteen lemons in a row whenever your around

well, my stupid student, that’s because you, yes you, smell like dog shit

old, cold, fermented dog shit that was left out in the rain

in other words: you stink

and riddle is loosing his damn mind over it

how does one go about telling this to their friend?

in a polite manner?

because he caN’t jUsT teLl yoU

so he tries to drop little hints

Tries

just small things at first

Just a little air freshener tree that you get at the carwash here and there

you find a mysterious perfume bottle on your night stand after Duece spent the night at Ramshackle

look! it smells like cherries!

too bad you didn’t trust it at all!

oh and look at this, an expensive cologne bottle that smells like sandelwood? isn’t that just plesent? Isn't it nice?

welp, it’s not yours! better put it back where you found it, someone's probably losing their shit looking for it

Riddle is now getting a bit desperate here

just a tad

Just a tad bit desperate

...anything can help right?

he makes Cater drop off a change of clothes for you. just some of the spare clothes that weren’t exactly his dorm uniform, that for some reason, he found laying around. 

he’d have to have a little “chat” about that later with his dorm

He also kindly requested that Cater steal some of your clothes so he could wash them for once

(he was being quite literal on the “for once” part. those things smelled like they’ve never touched an ounce of detergent since you got them from crowly) 

unfortuanatly, you are way too observant for your own good, and catch onto shit way too fast for his liking (or anyones liking) and quickly became suspicious about your missing clothes that miraculous reappeared in your drawers smelling...different

Riddle started feeling a little guilty for this after you locked yourself in your room for three days, and then came back out looking absolutely exhausted, checking over your shoulder like you had when you first got here

(Cater could have sworn he saw lilia looking at him with a dead stare out of the corner of his eye every time he went to club. Kalim said he was probably imagining it.)

Soon enough, operation mystery laundry was void

Meaning, your clothes returned to smelling like shit

And you...well, you never really stopped

.....ok.

Ok. He can work around this.

Hahahaha....Hahaha...ha....fuck

If ace trappola looks at you one day, says he's sorry, and then takes out a can of frebreez air freshener and sprays away, don't question shit, perfect

You brought this on yourself

But you of course, act like a cat being chased with a spray bottle, and run away

It for real takes trey to be the only responsible adult (NRC is an actual college and they're all adults fight me) in the entire goddamn campus to actually walk up to you and tell you you smell like ass

You then have a conversation about the rarity of clean water in you world

That conversation causes trey to come back to heartslabyul, take a metal bucket, fill it with clean, clear water, and then promptly dump it on you

And then he refills it with soapy water

That's right folks!

He's washing you, and your clothes!

Somewhere in the background, an NPC sees this and goes to notify riddle of the weird shit happening in the kitchens

Riddle doesn't know how to feel about this

He's definitely not happy but...he ain't mad about it either

He just makes an unfortunate NPC grab some towels for you

You didn't really know how to use the towels

Is it a blanket? No?

Your supposed to get it wet....

??huh?

Later that night, one Cater Diamond will whip out a PowerPoint presentation has been sitting in his computer for an undisclosed amout if time, explaining what a bath is

Everyone will thank him the next day for it

Ace still has the frebreez bottle btw, it's now used discreetly in alchemy class for whenever he and duece fuck up a potion

Leona Kingscholar:

Oh boy here we go

The cat man has gone from simply laying around in the [thingy] gardens to straight up rolling around in the plants to mask your smell just enough to not hurl on ground the second he sees you

this works 70% of the time

The other 30% is between him, ruggie, and the bathrooms

And once he realizes Jack howl hangs our with you on a regular basis?

Well, let's just say said dog boy is a little confused on why he's suddenly getting so much respect from his dorm members

Anyways, you leona doesn't really do anything about it at first.

You don't come by savanaclaw that much and your paths don't naturally cross too often, so doing something about the absolute toxic waste smell mixed with a half rotting animal carcass doesn't really have much...appeal to it

That was until this moment

Because you, my adorable little shit stain, were now in his PE class

PE class.

The class where everyone gets sweaty and smelly anyway

The only class that happened outside, you know, where his nose is just a little more sensitive because of the wind?

Yeah? That class

....great sevens help him

There are no pleasant smelling flowers in the fliedhouse. There is no access to any type of perfumes in the flied house because there are no pomefiore students out here

Ah shit, look at him, wishing for a pomefiore student

Never thought that one would happen

Anyways, kalim will later question leona about why he's been staying so close to him during PE recently

Because you are constantly bathed in inscents and spices kalim. inscents and spices

You are quickly deemed to jack work

Yeah, no way in hell is he dealing with this by himself, and ruggie isn't either, leona kind of need him alive to do his laundry (and provide the occasional comedic relief for whenever his brain decides it hates him a little more that day)

Now, jack is a lot of things

And he's usually prepared for whatever bullshit his dormmates and friends throw at him

But this...

Um. Perfect. Bro. Can you...can you perhaps not smell yourself?

Because he can

Everyone can. Actually

His approach is thankfully more quick than riddles

But he still tries to do it the polite way first

Leaving some cacti and succulents that had flowered early in your dorm room from time to time

They ultimately did nothing on their own, which is why he made epel politely convinced vil to put a little scenting spell on them

....it kind of works?

Congratulations Y/N. You now smell like shit with flowers on top

Which is arguably worse, but leona and literary EVERYONE ELSE will take what they can get

....

And then there's ruggie

He doesn't know when or why it happened, but he thinks it had something to do with the way you always seemed to marval at the water

He didn't eat in the cafeteria often, usually just eating on the go or whenever he found the time

But he still needed to get in there everyday for a certain spoiled prince

So...he saw you there sometimes

...and he saw your face when you looked at the water everyone else was drinking

You had stopped wearing that weird mask a long time ago (ruggie could vaguely remember leonas shoulders dropping the slightest bit when he told him....he wonders why that was sometimes)

The day you had taken it off was certainly...an event

But it turned out to be a good thing in the end, because seeing your face and what you were feeling was so much easier

And it let him see that painfully familiar face of disbelief and envy so much earlier

He knew those faces for a good reason. They'd been his after all, once upon a time

....he shouldn't do this

...

....he really shouldn't do this

....

When ruggie was nine years old, he saw a dead man just behind the old, half dried up waterhole that his ancestors ancestors used to gather water from

He had died from a disease that had made its way into their water supply

He remembered coming down with a bad fever shortly after and despite the dry heat of the desert, ruggie bucchi had never felt so cold

The old king of sunset savanna, leona kingscholars late father, had sent in doctor's and scientists and a years worth of clean water for his village only a few months later

Too bad they didn't come earlier...

It would've save a couple body bags

He hoped, oh great seven he'd hoped, that no one else dear to him had ever had to live that particular part if his life

...

...too bad nothing ever likes going his way

Your water didn't deserve to be called water, to have the glory and credit of the ever precious resource that allowed life itself

Because your water, wasn't water

It was poison

It's was a sickly brown, sometimes green, sometimes black, poison

And it was everywhere in the tunnels, you had said

"When I was little, I was playing around in an old abandoned army tank-"

("a what?" "Don't worry about it")

"-and...well, I guess we played a little too hard, because I got cut. Just a small scrape on my knee really..."

"But...it was enough for the water to make its way into my blood"

"...one of the medics. A man named Abdul? Yes. Abdul. He was able to bleed me just enough before it made its way in too deep"

"But still...the days after."

"I had never felt so...so.."

"...cold?", his voice came out in a whimper. It was barely a whisper

And he swore he felt his heart break a little when you shook your head with a sad smile

"Freezing"

....

....

A few things changed after that

It turns out, washing wounds with clean water and soap was a good way to treat wounds

Even the small ones!

"And it keeps you healthy! You won't get sick as easily as before!"

Ruggie didn't know exactly how to feel about the way your eyes sparkled at that

Azul Ashengrotto:

You must be out of your God damn mind if you think your even allowed in the lounge

Sorry perfect, but Azul has a business to run and patrons to keep happy, and you, my dear boy, do not currently spark joy

You smell like the trash that would sometimes wind up in the sea, despite it being illegal to dump your shit in the sea but whatever

He didn't like that you smelled so much like home

...but also not like home

The smell of the ocean on you was undeniable, but...you also smelled. Toxic

And he, for the life of him, just couldn't figure out why

He's not totally sure he wanted to figure out why

Something had clicked for jade a while back, that he was atleast semi-certain of

It was hard not to be, really

After all, he had never seen a look of horror that had crossed his vice wardens face quite like that before

He could still catch him looking at you in the halls, looking like he wanted to go right up to you and confirm whatever suspicions he had

But he never did...

Maybe it was because you weren't really close

Or maybe it was because you smelled terrible

Nah but seriously perfect, you act like the perfect gentleman when your not on survival mode, so why can't you just attempt to smell nice?

One shower ☝️ just- just one!

Please!

Here! Hell lend you some of this cologne too! It's expensive and it smells very pleasant if he says so himsel- wait- perfect- where the fuck are you going?

You were later found on the ceiling by lilia

....

How did you even..?

.

Whatever.

He's not wasting his time thinking about this right now

He has a restaurant to open! People to manage! A Floyd leech to control! And a fire cat to-

....

.......

Ya'know what? Jade wanted to talk to you anyways

This is his problem now

Floyd should be enough to keep the costumers and employees in line while he's making contracts in the back right?

Right

So when you open the dorm to Ramshakle and see one jade leech carrying a terrified grim in his arms, you better not complain about a damn thing Y/N

...

Anyways, you and jade are having some tea

You got it from kalim! It's the most expensive thing in the whole dorm!

Jade had a friendly smile on his face while he watched you make it

Why was he so focused on how much sugar you put in though?

..whatever man.

He took his midly sweet with two cubes of sugar and you took a strange satisfaction in watching his face go from friendly to horrified disbelief as he watched you dump about half the damn sugar from the container into yours

You still hadnt said anything

...

It was getting a little awkward. He was watching you drink your tea like a hawk

He lowkey looked concerned for your health

And sanity. Probably. Yeah

"So uh. Perfect?"

Oh?

"Hm?"

"May i ask a question?"

"What type of question?"

"A possibly deeply personal one"

There was a pause.

"...Well you can ask"

"Ah...so. you said you lived next to the ocean?"

You probably shouldn't have brightened at the mention of that...wretched place

....but it was still you home

And people will miss there home like people do

"Yes. Although I could never really go out to the surface by myself, so I never really got to see the sun rise over the horizon..i never got to see the sun at all actually"

He looked...

You couldn't really name how he looked

"Oh."

"..."

"So. This question. Did you...was the water. What was the water like?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well, what color was it"

"It water that ran through the tunnels closest to the shore line always looked very...dark I guess? But now because of the lighting, some of the water itself was straight up black"

Jade wasn't smiling anymore.

"The elders had to boil it at least five times over before it was safe to drink"

No. Jade wasn't smiling at all.

"I see."

"So I'm guessing you didn't exactly waste any water to bathe?"

You tilted you head to the side in confusion

"Um. No?"

"...well that explains a couple things"

Two hours later, you were dressed down to your boxers and a T-shirt, and being thrown in a tub full of foamy water

It smelled rather pleasant

The water was warm. Was it freshly boiled?

Yeah. Probably.

...

Thos felt. Nice.

Jade picked up a rectangular shaped bottle and squirted a liquid in his hands. It reminded you if that laundry detergent you saw ruggie using to wash leonas clothes

Oh.

It was soap?

You felt long slender finders work it's way into your hair

Oh

...

"Tilt your head back for me please"

You did as requested

When had you closed your eyes?

The sound of gentle splashing and the feeling of your hair getting wet ... shouldn't have been this relaxing

The texture of the soap felt different somehow. Less liquid and more foam

It was nice.

.

.

.

Jade had excused himself after washing your hair. Explaining what to do with your body and the surrounding soaps and this weird fluffy thing called a luffa

And the next day, you passed a certain azul ashengrotto

Who then took the most violent double take you've ever seen

Also Floyd was staring at you. And then at jade. And then at you.

And then back at jade.

....uh.

Yes.

Azul stared for a few more seconds.

And then he sighed.

Ok. So you smelled uncannily like jade.

He did not want to think about how that happened but ok.

You didn't smell like burning garbage that was then put out in contaminated water

And that was really all he could ask for at this point.

Kalim al-asim and my bbg. Mostly my bbg

Jamil has to wave an incense stick around you before you go into the dorm

Nah but fr bro was fighting for his life in chapter 4

You could almost hear him replaying "I need him for the plan I need him for the plan I need him for the plan" over and over again in his head like a mantra

There was a cry of relief when he flung your ass to to desert

And now kalim has to deal with you

Bro is crying and in desperate need of comfort and he pulls away when you hug him 💀

Floyd will laugh at this

you will be sad and confused

And Floyd will laugh harder

Kalim is fucking struggling not to grimace when you get too close to him and you just don't know why

It's because you smell like shit and Jamil didn't wave around the vanilla lavender smoke stick around you to slightly 🤏 mask that scent

BUT ITS NOT LIKE YOU KNOW THAT LOSER LMAO

There was a random gust of wind in the desert one night and you scent drifted over to Floyd

He doubled over coughing

He did this for a good three minutes

Jade was hovering over his shoulder with water waiting for him to throw up

I hope this puts it into perspective of how foul you will smell after only having a bath about twice a year

Yesh, no wonder all your childhood friends are dead

Kalim is trying his best to make sure you and everyone else are alright without getting too close to you

It's precious really

Nah but he is just so close to using oasis maker on you and you alone

But there ain't really any soap 'round these parts so you will smell worse than a wet dog if he does that

So he doesnt

Begrudgingly

Jade thanks him for this

Jamil nearly cries when you come back

These are not tears of joy

You nearly make him stop the fight to go get you a bath

Help him he's having flashbacks of that awkward time in his life where he had to get kalims baths ready for him every night

And when the battle is over?

Jamil is spending an extra two days in that infirmary

He was already considering it because of kalim but you were just the fucking cherry weren't you?

Meanwhile, the world's perfume companies is a little concerned with how much perfume and scented oils are suddenly going out of stock

And you, you fucking dog, are concerned about the people trying to drag you to scarbia and start spraying you with some weird, good smelling liquid

...

They brought back a memory you didn't want to bring back

Two injured scarabia students and one paranoid Ramshakle perfect later, jamil finally snapped

He kindly let you know you smelled like a human rights violation and told you that you needed a bath more than he needed a will to live

...

Why were you being so quite? Were you feeling shame? If you were feeling shame then it was about dam ti-

"What did they spray me with"

"...I'm guessing a variety of perfume"

"...perfumes.?"

You looked confused

And. A little horrified?

Uh.

"Yes. Perfumes"

Was it just him or was it getting a little hot in here?

In, you know, the desert

"But those werent....is everyone at this school an aristocrat?"

...blink

"No?"

"Then why did those two have perfume?"

Blink. Blink.

"...perfect"

"Perfumes are. Perfectly accessible to the public"

Damn shawty, you're entirely reality really loves crashing down on you huh?

You spaced out almost immediately after that, and Jamil led you to the showers, much more gently than he was planning on before

....

He didn't like how he felt his stomach start to drop when you froze up at the clean, hot water coming out of the shower head

Vil Shoenheit

There really ain't much to say here

Easily the most blunt

Yeah, you're not getting anywhere near him if you smell like that

Sorry not sorry, it's not happening

Gets it done immediately

Has you taken the the bathroom and rook explains what a shower is and how often you have to take one

And that it basically

Man's wasted no time and now you have a thirty step skin care routine. Congratulations.

Idia shroud:

....

We're you expecting this man to be around enough to actually smell you?

Nah

Nah, yall meet online or through his floating tablet and that is it

....and then there's boardgame club

He invited you once

He quickly realized and regretted his mistake the second you walked into the room

Ortho reminds him that he too, smells like shit most of the time

It does little to subdue him

But it does make him have a small pang of guilt and the shame that comes with hypocrisy every time he talks shit in his head

He tells one person about this as a sort of dollar store therapy session

And that person is his gaming partner

And- damn bro, you got one of these foul smelling bitches too?

So this is a common phenomenon?

I guess?

Yeah, don't plan on interacting with him in person until you figure out how to use a damn shower

Your on tablet treatment

But you still need to log into WoW when he and the hot-pink emo need you

You're surprisingly pretty good? Actually?

I mean, you certainly know your survival tactics

Including some shit he's never really bothered to think about

Tf do you mean make a grenade out of a tin can? Wtf is a grenade in the first place?

Anyways, idia has some new weapons in the inventory

But uh...perfect?

Sometimes the shit that you day is....concerning

Especially around water sources

"This is all water?"

"...yes?"

"And it hasn't been drained? It's not that we'll hidden. There's no way that the upper counsle hasn't found it yet"

"..."

"Huh?"

Idia would like to blame the VR for making you forget this is a video game

But yeah he's got some questions

And lucky for him! He is severely sleep deprived and lacking his usual "just apply common sense" mentality!

So again! Questions

First if all, was water rare where....ever your from?

(Water wasn't rare exactly, you guys in the tunnels just...weren't aloud to have it)

Well what the hell were "the tunnles?"

He didn't ask that one though, he was more focused on the water.

Questions for another day

What's the upper counsle?

(you stayed silent for a long minyte after that, only replying in a non-answer that you really hated the upper counsle)

How are you still alive if you don't have water?

"Well...I'm not really alive anymore..."

What?

"But before! Before that I lived in a base that was close to the ocean, and water would sometimes flow in"

I'm sorry, idia feels like you've just brushed over something more important

"So we'd collect as much as we could and boil it! It'd have to be boiled and filtered at least five times before it even go to some semblance of clean... so there really wasn't a whole lot to divide amongst the people down there afterwards"

Oh so we're. We're just gonna move right on past that. Ok then.

"Wait so. Have you ever had a shower?"

"Whenever we have enough water I guess? But those are mainly for the children and the sick ones"

.......ahhhhh

"Ok. Well. I'm gonna tell you what a shower is, and you are going to take one immediately"

"..ok?"

So now he's here, buying more soap than he would need to last a dozen lifetimes

How did his life cough ever come to this?

...and seriously. What the hell did you mean when you basically told him that you were a dead man walking?

Malleus draconia:

Met you in your little gas mask, assassination, survival island phase

And you met some big ass horn man who popped out from a bunch of little....light bugs

And uh...uh.

Let's just say having a dull, poorly made knife thrown straight at you wasn't really the best first impression

Mother fucker was about to smite you down where you stood until you asked who tf he was

Then he paused

...oh damn

This little human boy doesn't know shit huh?

Dam-.....

What smells?

Bro starts sniffing the air like a fuckin dog

Now, malleus could say he had a relatively strong nose

He was a dragon fae who had lived for hundreds of years after all, he could memorize scents and pick things out in them

Like he could pick out the chemicals and pollution and death in yours

He takes two steps back

And then one step forward because he's confused

What.....what the fuck?

Uhhhh....you won't mind if he just...

Over the course of several days, you gradually smell better

Just enough to be bearable

Leona on his knees thanking some ancient God he don't believe in fr

You also get a strong craving for water

Not to drink it necessarily, but to just. Be in it.

You're also finding yourself in the Ramshakle bathrooms more often than not and you can't figure out why

Like now, when you sitting in the bathtub

....

What does this nob do?

Oh shit, you just got water everywhere.

....you just got water.....everywhere

Clean water.

Hot. Water.

....

...you're really in another world aren't you?

Han Jisung: Monday < | > Han Jisung: Wednesday

****

Han Jisung: Tuesday

You needed to do something about the Chan-bug, as you called it. You knew having feelings for Chan could get in the way of achieving your goals. Your goal is to get home, not have a virtual boyfriend. Restraining yourself from following Chan into the school, you retraced your steps to the control room. Where you expected the door, you found a blank wall. Dread shot up through you, and you touched the wall as if it might click upon command. However, nothing happened. You were stuck with it now. Passing away from the door, you recounted last night's events. 

You did not reveal what else you’d done with said napkin. Heat still flared up your neck whenever you thought about it now. You’d jerked yourself off with it that night; you’d pictured Chan’s mouth in place of the dirty napkin, the full lips tightly wrapped around you and humming softly. You’d loved it in the moment, but instantly became disgusted when you finished. Sunghoon’s desires certainly started concerning you. 

“Surely, there’s a way you’d help me out of this,” you said to Bott.

‘Hahaha, yeah, sure, right. I’m totally going to help the guy who tampered with my game designs. Sure, I volunteer!’

“Ugh, whatever.”

You went to the school garden instead, pushing the phone into your pocket. The attraction towards Chan could be contained. You couldn’t afford to be distracted from the task at hand: getting back home. While living a meager lifestyle, you did have a life there. You had freedom, your family, and your friends. Then, a tiny voice in your head spoke:

“What friends, man? They never hung out with you. When they did, it was because you brought it up first. And this ‘freedom’ of yours? You were a cog in a corporate machine designing video games. You had no real freedom.’

But, you beat back the voice. Living in the real world definitely beats living in a high school setting forever. You’d simply have to live with the side-effects of having a stalker in your digital makeup.

You arrived in the garden before anyone else did. Taking up a seat near the garden shed, you’d be within hearing distance of them when they showed up. Waiting on them, someone came up to you.

“Morning, YN-hyung,” Jeongin beamed, holding another tray of food today. “How are you?”

“Alright,” you said a bit cautiously. “Yourself?”

“Great as always. We made corn dogs in the Cooking Club,” he said, showing you the tray of different kinds of small corn dogs. "Want one? It’s not good to start the day on an empty stomach.”

Similar to what he said last time. The typical NPC lines. Yet, something about Jeongin did not give off that vibe. You gazed down at the tray, tentatively taking one as you saw the message underneath.

‘B.O.O.K.’

“Book?” you said out loud.

“That one’s sausage and potato,” he said. His smile looked forced, not fully reaching his eyes. “I got inspired by this manga I like to read. The main character likes corn dogs.”

The next task involved a book. “Cool,” you said, taking a bite of the cheesy, meaty snack. “Thank you, Jeongin-ssi.”

“You’re welcome, hyung.”

You watched Jeongin leave the garden, offering his tray to another student before reaching the entrance. For a second, the younger student looked back at you. No smile. No friendly stare. Fear and worry once again. A result of your redesign? 

“Hey, Jisung-ah,” you heard Chan say from nearby. “I brought the manga you asked me about.”

“Thanks, hyung!” Jisung said with a sweet smile. “I haven’t been able to find early copies anywhere. All the stores only have a few of them, but not the first ones.”

“Yeah, they’re pretty rare. I think they only sell the whole series in Japan, since it’s kind of…” Chan blushed, “Racy.”

“I’ve heard,” he nodded. “Oh, um, that’s not why I want to read it though! I really like fantasy manga and this one is supposed to be really good.”

You snorted.

“It really is,” Chan agreed. “I think you’re gonna like it. We can meet up here and talk about it after school. I’d love to know what you thought of it.”

“Okay! Sounds good to me!”

As Jeongin implied, you needed to steal the book. The pair walked out of the garden together, talking about the manga, while you kept your distance. Chan liked manga, a good piece of information to have. You enjoyed it too, so you could talk and reveal a shared interest. When they reached a hallway intersection, you chose to follow Jisung to the sophomore classes. You simply needed to wait for him to leave his bag unattended and snatch the book.

“YN-ssi?” You recognized Minho’s voice right away and turned around.

“Good morning, Minho-hyung.” The citrus scent that lingered around Minho filled your lungs. It wasn’t empowering or sickening. You took a sniff, pretending to be scrunching up your nose.

“What are you doing on the sophomore floor? Aren’t you a junior?” He asked curiously.

"I was looking for my class," you chuckled bashfully. "I got lost…again. I wish they hadn't made the school so big. I can never find anything. What are, um, what are you doing here?"

"Hall monitor duty," he tapped a shield on his blazer. "I do my patrols before classes. You know, make sure everyone's following rules and not running in the halls. I don't know if you know," he leaned in closer and whispered, "One of our classmates went missing recently. The principal wants us on high alert for any suspicious activity." He then added, "My money's on Lee Felix and his delinquent friends. I urge you to stay away from them. You don't want to get mixed up with the wrong sort." 

"Of course not," you agreed. You glanced over Minho’s shoulder to see Jisung disappearing into the classroom. You needed to get to the bag. You whipped your head towards a bathroom nearby, and said, “Did you hear that?”

“Hear what?” Minho turned his head to the bathroom. 

“I heard something coming from the bathroom. It sounded like a firework.” 

Minho grunted, “I’ll check it out. I swear, if it’s Felix and his cherry bombs…I’ll be back.” 

You waited until Minho disappeared into the restroom to briskly walk towards Jisung’s class. The boy walked out through the first door while you snuck in through the second. Jisung’s backpack was the only one in the classroom. You found the manga hidden between notebooks and folders. You grabbed it, seeing a pale anime character in a red and black frock coat standing by a window. Red eyes and sharp canines indicated a vampire. The title ‘Eternal Light’ went across the bottom in cursive font. Chan’s favorite manga. You stuffed it in your own bag before leaving the room, a sense of relief and triumph coming over you. You were one step closer to leaving this game world and getting back home. As you walked towards the end of the hallway, you spotted Minho coming out of the restroom, confused and looking around. You blended yourself into the crowd and walked in the opposite direction. If you hurry, you might catch Chan in class already, and get to talk to him instead. 

Rather than focus on particular school times, you focused on skill points and maintaining your positive reputation. Students you spoke to smiled and greeted you kindly, happy to see and talk to you. Nobody made a mean joke or pulled a slick prank. Having a ‘well-liked’ reputation made socializing easier. Things had been fine during lunch. You'd pulled out your phone to see any Bott messages when someone bumped into you. The phone flying onto the floor, a hand stopped you from picking it up. It was Jeongin. Absent a friendly smile, he spoke quietly and hurriedly.

“Don't listen to him.”

“Huh?”

“Don't listen to him. Go with the game. Don't take his advice.”

“Dude, what is-”

“Here, hyung,” he instantly changed to his friendly tone again, handing you the phone. “I'm really sorry! I hope it's not broken.”

You hesitated, observing him for a moment, “Nah, it's good. It's okay. No worries.”

“That’s a relief! See you around, hyung!”

“Yeah, you too.”

He walked off again, leaving a dark worry in the pit of your stomach. You knew who Jeongin spoke of, and the warning stayed in the back of your head. Chan interactions soothed your concerns for a while. 

“There’s this new manga I’ve been reading,” you told him as they took seats at the lunch table. Sitting with the other team members made you feel more involved in Chan’s life. “I don’t know if you like that sort of thing, but it’s called Eternal Light. It’s one of those vampire fantasy mangas with lots of drama and action. I’ve really been enjoying it. Do you like manga?”

Chan’s eyes lit up, “I do! Eternal Light is my favorite one! Who’s your favorite character? Mine is Fabian. He’s so cool and mysterious. I really like what they’ve done with his character over the series.”

“Um, me too!” You said, “He’s an interesting character. I like his…his design.” You dared to pretend to be shy. 

Chan chuckled, “It’s okay. A lot of people do. He’s very handsome. Ah, if only guys like that existed in real life, huh?”

“They do.”

“Ha, where?” 

“Right next to me,” You grinned, nudging him to indicate you meant him.

Chan gave a shy smile and looked away, “I’m not mysterious or cool like him.”

“You’re mysterious to me. You know a lot about me but I hardly know anything about you.”

He paused, “Maybe we can, um…you know, change that sometime?”

Your heart thumped in your chest. “Sure. That’d be cool.” 

“Cool.” 

As lunch time ended, the phone went off in his pocket. You turned into a bathroom to see a message from Bott. 

“What was that?” 

“Flirting with Chan obviously.”

“You’re not supposed to be doing that! You’re not supposed to be talking to him at all! Why did you have to go and screw around with the game? Everything is totally out of order now!”

“If it bugs you so much, then reset everything. It’s not like you don’t have control over the game.” You then noted the silence that followed. It dawned on you. “You don’t want to change it, do you?” you smirked knowingly.

“Shut up.”

“No, no, no. You’ve been bitching this whole time about how I’ve been playing around with your coding and designs, but haven’t actually done anything to fix it. The only thing you’ve done is lock me out of the control center,” you sneered at the phone screen. “You’re actually interested in where this game’s gonna go now that I’ve changed things up. Were the others before me really that boring?” 

They didn’t reply for several minutes. 

“Alright, fine. Yeah, I’m kinda curious. Nobody’s ever taken the initiative to rework the game in their favor. They go around with the same motions over and over. It gets boring. I only got rid of the control room so you don’t accidentally cause glitches in the game or bugs that’ll mess everything up.”

“Oh honey, don’t worry. My games never have glitches,” you smirked. You saw you only had a few minutes until class when they responded:

“I’ve never had a player like you before.” 

“There are no players like me.” 

You shut off the phone, then headed to class. You put points into literature and psychology this time. It’d give you something to do while waiting on Chan and Jisung’s interaction to go down the toilet. Gym came and went after lunchtime, which was spent gazing at Chan from afar and making sure he and Changbin stayed firmly apart. You found him and Jisung in the garden after school. Standing inside the shed once more, you listened to their conversation. 

“Hey Jisung-ah,” Chan greeted him. “How’d you like the book?”

“Um…uh…”

“Jisung? Is something wrong?”

“I didn’t get a chance to…to read it.”

“Why not?”

“I think I lost it.”

Chan didn’t speak for a moment. “You lost it? What do you mean?”

“I had it in my bag when you gave it to me, but then around lunch time I looked for it and it wasn’t there! Oh Channie-hyung,” he pleaded, “I’m so sorry. I must’ve misplaced it or thought I put it in my bag and it actually fell. I went to Lost and Found, but they said they didn’t have it. I’m really, really, really sorry. I’ll get you another one, I swear.”

“I don’t think that’s really possible,” Chan said, “That copy was pretty rare and my dad got it for me when he visited Japan.”

“Chan…”

“I think I’ll just go now.”

“Chan-”

“-I’ll see you tomorrow.” 

You watched Chan sulk away, leaving a saddened Jisung behind. Stage 2 was complete. You only had two more days to go. 

“I have to make it up to him,” he heard Jisung say. “I’ll get him something. Maybe a present or a gift; something he’d really like.” 

No, he wouldn’t. You realized what your next task was now. You waited until Jisung turned around to sneak out of the shed and follow Chan out. You saw him heading towards the locker rooms for swimming practice. 

“Chan-hyung!” you called out right as the older boy reached the entrance. “Hey, hyung, wait up!”

“Hey, YN-ssi,” Chan said, keeping the sadness out of his voice. “What’s up?”

“Listen,” you opened his backpack, “I was walking to the library after class ended and I found this on the ground.” You pulled out the manga for Chan to see, “I was going to turn it into Lost and Found, but I saw it has your name on the inside of the cover and remembered you like this one. I knew we’d be seeing each other at swim practice, so I waited until I saw you.”

“Oh wow, YN! Thank you so much! I was worried I’d lost it forever!” He hugged the small paperback, then smiled at you, “I’d leant it to my friend Jisung, and I guess he’d dropped it somewhere.”

“Well, that’s irresponsible of him. I know I’m super careful when I have someone else’s things.”

“Don’t think badly of him. Jisung is normally so responsible. I'm surprised he’d been careless like that.” He gave you a thankful smile, “I appreciate you giving it to me. This copy has a bit of sentimental value, since it was a gift from my dad.”

“Sounds like you’re very close to him.”

“I am. He travels a lot for work, but he always makes time for me when he’s home.” He hesitated, “My parents are divorced, you see, and I live with my mom. Not that she’s a bad parent; she’s wonderful and we get along, but I don’t see my dad that much, so I’m really happy when he comes to town.” He put the book in his bag, then slung it back over his shoulder, "You coming?" He gestured to the locker room behind him. 

You nodded and went inside for swimming practice where the other team members prepared for practice. You considered skipping, and heading on into the next day before Chan put down his bag. 

Like everyone else, he immediately switched from his school uniform to his swim uniform. The uniform was a pair of tight swim trunks that clung to Chan’s hips and thighs like a second skin. The type of trunks that stirred the imagination. Your mouth watered seeing the rest of Chan’s body. His chest and arms were certainly big enough, but the torso he hid was on full display here. You whimpered seeing the pink nipples hardening in the cold room. You thought of nipping and sucking on one while you jerked Chan’s cock; you shuddered thinking of how he’d sound being pleasured relentlessly. 

You changed into your own uniform, which really happened with another simple click, but couldn’t keep your eyes off Chan. You pictured dark hickies on Chan’s smooth skin; how the supple flesh would feel under your lips and tongue. You imagined Chan shyly looking away as you kissed down his abdomen to his waistband. All the blood in your body flowed to your center, and you tried controlling it as you walked to the school’s swimming pool. 

The warm sun beaming through a skylight above, the olympic sized pool had long ropes already separating the different lanes. You had no real intention of swimming or doing anything except watching Chan; the coach was a placeholder rather than an non-playable character, so he didn’t move or say anything to them. You took a seat on the bleachers, towel draped around your neck to cover your shoulders, and took in more of Chan’s form. You tried ignoring the fact that Changbin was doing the same, just a bit less subtle than you. 

You spent some time watching Chan swim and pretending to care about the team, while contemplating your next move. Jisung would be getting Chan a gift to make up for losing the book. You’d have to find a way to intercept the gift and replace it with something else. Jisung was the cute little underclassman. He was angelic. If he were to give Chan a gift that was inappropriate, that would shatter. You sat on the bleachers for a “break”, while scrolling on your phone. 

“How would you go about ruining Jisung’s gift?” he asked the pink screen. 

“You know what I’d do.”

“Besides that.”

“Why not? Killing him makes things so much easier. You can get creative with it too. Like, if you get a bucket, gasoline from the garden shed and a lighter, you can set someone on fire.”

“That alone sounds complicated. What do I do about gifts?”

“You can electrocute him in the second floor bathroom. It has a faulty switch with exposed wires.”

“The gift, Bott,” you said firmly. 

“Ugh, whatever. You could always plant contraband in the box. Cigarettes, condoms, drugs, porn…something shocking that would make Chan think less of him.”

“Hm, that could work,” you considered, “Where can I find that stuff?”

“Hwang Hyunjin. His family is the other gang in town to rival Felix’s family; they own the convenience store in town. He’s always hanging around the Art Club room after school, or the bleachers before classes. He’ll give you what you need.” 

“Guess I’m going to the Art Club then.” 

The Art Club had all the typical activities in it: a pottery wheel, several canvases and even a woodworking table. A room of color and light, you didn’t find a single student there. Yet, you did find a tall boy with long black hair, his sharp features gave him a mysterious, handsome appearance. He wore his pants at his hips, his sleeves rolled up and earrings dangling from his ears like Felix. He sat alone by the window seat, a sketch book in his lap as he drew on the pad. He didn’t acknowledge you until you cleared your throat. 

“What do you want?” he asked, continuing to draw and not looking at you. 

“I was, um, told your dad owns  a convenience store?”

“What about it?”

“I was hoping you could, you know, get me some things that he might not be willing to sell to a high school student?”

Hyunjin stopped drawing, then looked over at you. “What’s in it for me?”

“Huh?”

“I don’t sell to just anyone,” he answered. “How do I know you’re not setting me up?”

“I’m not. I have no reason to,” you saw where this was going. “What is it you want?”

Hyunjin thought for a moment, “Mrs. Yang took my vape pen. Get it back and we can deal.” He went back to his drawing. 

“That’s risky.”

“Then go ask Lee Felix, but I’ll warn you,” he filled in a part with shading, “He’ll ask for worse stuff than me.” 

You grumbled in irritation. Leaving the art room, you thought about other ways of acquiring contraband items, but none of them seemed right. Walking past the faculty room, you saw teachers working well into the after school hours. Typing on computers, grading papers and preparing lesson plans, they focused on nothing but the work in front of them. None of them saw you standing by the large windows looking inside. You studied the room: you saw more featureless books and a table of office supplies sat off to the side. On a white box underneath, someone scribbled ‘Contraband’ across the side. The vape pen is likely in there. You took a step past the threshold, expecting the teacher to not notice you. 

“Are you lost, YN?” a teacher asked, immediately locking her eyes on yours. 

“No, seonsaengnim,” you said, bowing slightly. “I must have walked into the wrong room. Sorry.”

“That’s alright,” she said with a smile. “Head on to your hagwon. You’ll be late.”

“Yes, seongsaengnim.” 

You gave another bow and went around the corner. Naturally, it wouldn’t be so easy. Like with the nurse, you’d need a distraction. Scanning the hallway, you spotted a fire alarm. They’d have to leave if the fire alarm is pulled. You walked over to the alarm, but a voice stopped you in your tracks. 

“Hyung? What are you doing?” 

Jeongin stood behind you holding an empty tray at his side. “N-nothing,” you said, straightening up and facing him. “I was on my way to hagwon. What-what are you doing here? Still handing out snacks?” you gave a nervous laugh. 

“I just finished,” he said with a grin. He noticed the faculty room nearby, then said, “Did you need the teachers for something?”

“Huh? No, nothing.” 

“Ah, that’s good. Our educators can’t afford to get distracted right now.” 

You noticed the pointed way he’d said it, “I don’t think anything would distract them. They seem very busy.”

“They only really leave between classes if something bad happens on campus,” he said. “It’s unfortunate, but it happens.”

“Like what?”

“An accident,” he shrugged, “Or student misbehaving on the east side of the school around this time.” 

You gazed around for witnesses, then came closer, “Misbehaving?” 

“I heard Felix and his friends hang out around the girl’s locker rooms after school to catch the girls undressing,” he blushed. “If someone reported them to the teachers, I imagine they’d all want to apprehend them.” 

“I’m sure they would.”

He checked his watch and then said, “Sorry, hyung. I got to go. I’ll be late for my tutoring. Have a good day!”

He walked past you, grinning to himself like most of the students do. You didn’t hesitate to take his advice. Working yourself up, you then rushed into the faculty room. 

“YN?” Mrs. Yang looked at you with more concern. “What’s wrong?”

“I’m sorry, seonsaengnim,” you panted, giving a polite bow, “But I wanted to tell you that Lee Felix and his friends keep hanging around the girl’s locker room. I saw them with their phones, trying to look through the windows up top.”

She grunted, “That little pervert. Thank you for telling us this, YN.” 

She and the other teachers stood up all together and began walking out of the room. You waited until they’d left to dive for the contraband box. Inside, you found a single black vape pen. You tucked it into your pocket, then stepped out of the faculty room. Jeongin stood at the end of the hallway, and you saw the pleased grin on his face. Nothing malicious or wicked lingered behind it; just pride and satisfaction. Out of all the NPCs, Jeongin showed the most autonomy. Yet, looking at him now, the suspicion that he’s more crawled over to you. 

Something kept him from speaking to you directly, and you knew what it was. 

Leaving back to the Art Club room, you saw Hyunjin still sitting on the window sill. He’d switched from pencil to charcoal, his fingertips blackening from the dust as he added hard lines and more shading. Once again, he didn’t stop when you entered the room. 

“I got your pen,” you said, walking closer and extending it to him. 

“Thanks,” he stopped drawing to take up the pen and examine it. With an approving nod, he put the pen between his lips. He took a long drag, then looked up at you. “What is it you’re looking for?”

You took a moment, thinking of what Chan would dislike the most. “Condoms?”

He stared you up and down, “Two-thousand Won.”

The game had given you more than enough to start off with, you realized. After counting the bills, he rifled around in his bag, then handed you the condom packet. “If you get caught, keep my name out of your mouth.” 

“And keep mine out of yours.”

He went back to his drawing. You found the exchange uneventful until Hyunjin spoke: “Come back and see me next time you need something. You’re cool.” 

“Noted.” 

You had what you needed. Now, you need to execute the plan.

A/N: Something's not right, and YN's going to find out what it is soon enough haha Like always, please reblog and like <3

[slickfordain]

Your work is awesome!!

I'll read everything else rq, but first-

Hello, how was your day? How are you feeling?

If it's okay, may I share a bit of my game and ask how will characters react on it?

So uhh

I always say out loud how adorable Nahida is and how she is my "adopted child"

Also during the archon quest I was litteraly chanting "someone help, love and protect her please"

Also when I didn't get Nahida on her banner, I was like "Sages, if it was You, I'm about to destroy you"

I also always greet my team and say "bye" if I'm leaving.

I switch to every character and tell them it. Even how THEY did while I was gone

Maybe I'm going insane Idk?

If you don't want to do it, it's okay!^^

Bye-bye! And again- your work(s) are awesome! Gotta read some more

I may sound insane but I as well say “Hello / hi” to Genshin characters one time because I wanted them to feel welcomed??? I’m kind of new to this shit so I stole my friend’s phone to say hi to them 💀💀 this is such a cute request overall, Nahida is such a baby 💔💔

Also I’m doing just well hon, thank you for asking me. <3 I hope you’re feeling well yourself.

Teyvat is protective of their creator no matter what gender they’re specified with;; however, it seems that you favor Nahida more than others— Most likely as if you made her to actually be your related child. Nahida was hesitant and shy at first, but over the time when she thought about it, she couldn’t help but feel so free and blessed with such a humble God mother/father figure like you.

You’re protective, even if it’s the traveller and Paimon… You still warned them to make sure that Nahida stays secured and safe. Everyone in different nations although takes this request far too seriously- that at this point, Nahida feels rather isolated. Though she knew you never meant any harm, how could she ever assume you would? She’s a wise sweet little girl, humble as you even, she honestly could see the connection of being your child. Literally.

But, that of course makes other children jealous… NPC children would most likely have different voice lines when it comes to Nahida too— which is basically in Sumeru city, and, I guess the Archons has to be checked 24/7 all of the sudden? Confused as you are, you weren’t displeased with it, you felt… Happy actually. Happy that people are acknowledging Nahida. (Although they’re fighting over who gets to be Nahida’s other parent)

Alhaitham especially would have some rooms prepared for Nahida, like, y’know, if she’s tired in a middle of nowhere— there’ll always be a house nearby her area, her spot. The followers of you would be cooking food nonstop for the little child, hoping that she’s willing to test their taste. After all, only she knows what you love in a guy/girl ~!

Oh oh, and since you did say you want someone to also protect Nahida during a quest— Nahida will be bawling her eyes out and ugly cry. (Pretty cry actually) People will be freaking out of why the fuck is shE EVEN CRYING— The NPCs will all baby her and, treasure hoarders? They won’t even get the chance to lay a finger on her because of the Archons killing them off. (Not like you know 😻)

Nahida would be an absolute troll however. Yes, she is sweet and always devoted to drop the entire lore to help people out— (For example she dropped the entire shit lore to Aether / Lumine) But she is heavily LOYAL to her mother/father figure.

Imagine Dottore especially trying to talk it out with her since they did sort of have a conversation beforehand. So he thought it’s only fair he becomes her dad, by marrying you right? HAHAHA, wrong. Nahida is truly worried and overprotective of you, despite being just a kid version of her Archon self. She will lie, telling things to the Fatui doctor what you did not like.

And this has gone on for so long, it’s absolutely hilarious. Especially for Sumeru as they see this as an attempt to bring their divine being closer to them.

But the thing is, you’re not that expressive— you’re just existing and trying to live on while babying Nahida who just sobs into your affection. Girlie never got so much, so it was truly a blessing to have herself in your care.

And talking about Sages, just imagine Enjou overall having troubles with trying to get to you. All because of Sages 💀 look, if mans wanna get your forgiveness, better as well protect Nahida from the half monster hybrid looking ass hot man. Enjou is in so much misery… (Cue CPR)

Also, can we just appreciate how caring you are? No, it’s not only for Nahida you’re just caring for— it’s not even the reason she’s so loyal to you. (Well, it is but still) The true reason is, is because you keep saying “Hello” and “Bye” to them everyday, no matter how tiring it might get.

I think Diluc would especially love this since uhm, well, his dad ain’t here y’know y’know. (Or any traumatized character really)

…

Imagine Archon Timmie flying up to the heavens above just to replace Nahida and be your son— (Archon Timmie /srs) But then fails because Nahida is too logical and wise that his brain couldn’t take it anymore either.

Okay I’m stopping there 💀💀💀

Also have a sneak peak of my fanfic because I know some people will assume I’m not working on it 💔

It looks shitty but whatever

[tequila-solar-storm]

You're gonna hear my reaction loud and clear once it drops, I can't waaaaait—

I mean Chasca rides her flying weapon so the flying limousine wouldn't be too out of place hahah

Okay live stream: laughing so hard because I knew you were gonna mention Mutota HAHAHA I'm just gonna sit in a corner sipping tea waiting to witness what you're going to cook with the tribe chiefs 👀

Kinich is up for plenty of more fun!

And now you got me curious about the Night-Wind's Chief too! We shall wait and see

Chasca and Ororon can wait we're looking for potential Kinich lovers LMAO

On the side-note trying to understand some of Natlan cultural references it's like trying to piece a puzzle together without knowing what the final picture is supposed to look like while having pieces of different puzzles in one single box. In other words... I have no idea of what the heck is happening (T∆T)

I'M SUPER CURIOUS ABOUT HER SAURIAN MOM when they mentioned she was raised by qucusaurs I got super curious and thought we'd have to read her character stories to know more, BUT no we're actually meeting them Yes!!

I thought the subject of the art was weird too HAHAH like??? But I wouldn't mind Citlali being the new favorite child she's been fun so far lol

You're so REAL for mentioning Ororon being another electro bow, we have so many and he's another off-fielder too??? We have electro off-field covered already hoyo pls y_y having an Anemo male tall character would feel so wrong for some reasons HAHAHA

With anything related to the Collective of Plenty is happening off-screen I just hope they will make the wait worth it for when we finally meet them, honestly I find their tribe name curious but guess we'll have to wait! At least we're getting Iansan! Hoping to see more screentime of her :))

No joke I'm so excited for the new little dude, they're so CUTE and the fact that they basically turn into a laser shooter is hilarious

I already know I'm gonna hate fighting the new boss and avoid it at all costs, they're definitely gonna shove it in the abyss and I'm NOT mentally prepared for when that'll happen lmao

Gabe and Kai get kudos from me too, as you said they're more straightforward and also clearer in their explanation, I hope everything will get settled with the voice actors eventually but, in the meantime, I really wouldn't mind having more streams presented by these 2 dudes haha

Thanks for the cake! <3

Previous Post

It is Year 2030 and Genshin drops its newest character: a stereotypical anime girl that can transform into a literal car with another region-locked gimmick. She’s essentially a Transformer but her non-car form looks exactly like a human but wearing mech clothes. She has huge boobs and an even larger butt because this is Genshin and they’re the best at remaining ✨consistent✨ obviously. Her car form has boobs and a butt too. Powercreep has got so bad Neuvillete is ‘F’ on meta tier lists. Genshin continues to promote itself to be a free open-world game though half of the map is locked behind levels, quests, and paywalls. They’ve also—

What were we talking about again? Right, to the rest of your ask!

WHAT CAN I SAY I’M PREDICTABLE 😭😭😭 The unique designs for the Natlan chiefs have been incredible so far (Helps that they’re darker than most of the playables… the bar is SO low it’s in hell) and Mutota continues that trend!

Considering Never Turn Back is just a NPC-appreciation fest poorly disguised as a Kinich smut series what did you expect 😭 Every Natlan update consists of me going ‘Hmm who can I ship Kinich with this time???’ and it takes priority over everything else!!!

I like Chasca and Ororon’s personalities but they shall be unfortunately overshadowed by Mr Random NPC Mutota. If it’s not him, it’s going to be Chasca’s mother and our newest little buddy. Lasers are always fun, and I’m really looking forward to Chasca’s interactions with her Sauro-mama!! Citlali and Ororon’s interactions already proved to be absolute gold, so I’m also excited for more of those!! But Mutota remains priority number 1 HAHAHA

If we’re not going to have Ifa be a Anemo Tall Male let’s have him be Genshin’s very first little boy character. I’m talking Klee, Qiqi, Nahida etc sized. (Delusional)

The puzzle piece analogy perfectly encapsulates how I feel so thank you for putting to words what I’m thinking 🥲

I’m curious about the Collective of Plenty too! Who knows, maybe their chief is a literal robot because who cares at this point…

Anyway, for now, let’s just hope for the best with the Voice Actors and keep enjoying the streams with our Localisation Guys!!! All while bracing ourselves for the Abyss and it’s newest Time Sink Boss™ 🫠

[i-am-snowils-admiral]

I need you to know I absolutely love your tags on the webtoon poll you reblogged from me I 100% agree with your reasoning on all of them

also also!! you’ve read all the same webtoons!!! I only just read s-rank hunters and real estate like a few weeks ago!!! hahaha I’m just excited to find out someone else I know has read them

gotta ask then - what should be my next obsession? I’m currently binging doctor stone (mostly anime but I’m trying to catch up on the manga but it’s hard when I get close to the episode I’m on and then binge an entire season in a day (extra side note I just graduated last week and am spending my newly found free time poorly)) but I am always open to new recommendations, even if it means they just get dropped into my queue of things to read!!

this turned out to be much more stream of consciousness than I originally intended. oops.

This is so wild because I just picked up Dr. Stone about a week ago. I've mostly stopped reading around ch 78 but it's still open in a tab somewhere so I could always go back to it.

I'm so excited we've read the same stuff!! Post-graduation is the perfect time to get into a bunch of random webtoons. Literally what else are you doing. You are free.

In terms of recommendations...hmmmm I actually have a few. Hopefully at least one of these you haven't read yet. Actually I'm going to rate these ones as well for how much I'd like to be a side character.

Often included with the ones we were talking about would be SSS-Class Suicide Hunter, which is pretty good. I'm not caught up but it's super fun and every once in a while will hurt your heart in a good way. (Rating: I'd be happy to be a side character here. Things would go miraculously and somewhat suspiciously well)

Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint is a classic as well. (Rating: You couldn't pay me 10 billion dollars to be a side character in this thing)

I've been really enjoying Pick Me Up, Infinite Gacha - it's an interesting take on the "trapped in a video game" plot that actually manages to be semi-unique (I think, at least) in a genre that is not unique in the slightest. (Rating: Also wouldn't want to be a side character. Han Yslat is only interested in like 10 incredibly powerful people and I would be synthesized for someone else's growth for sure)

Dungeon Reset is just. They gave this man Minecraft powers. Good for him. (Rating: I'd be a side character but only if I got to also have Minecraft powers and hang out in all the cool secret bases)

The Newbie is Too Strong is pretty fun as well, I think they just started a new season so chapters are coming out again. (Rating: I would want the NPCs to like me so much. Not sure if I'd survive this one but I'd be making friends)

Eleceed. The plot of this one is: Cats! Also unimaginable violence against children. Interspersed with more cats. It's incredible. (Rating: Depends heavily on what KIND of side character I was. I am not kidding about the incredible violence but I think if I was a normal person I'd be ok)

Happy reading! Congrats on graduation! I've definitely started reading things because you were putting them on your blog, so I'm happy to throw recommendations at you as well!

[sketchthetofu]

i dont think ive ever sent an ask befor but i think im doing it right. for that ask game thing ✈️ and ⭐️

U did it right :D!!! Welcome to the askers hehehehe

For ⭐️ I haven’t finished many of the campaigns unfortunately… I’ve listened to all of Riptide and I’m on season 2 of Prime Defenders rn, but I gotta say I love Riptide! I love how silly it started and how the characters have grown and changed, the pacing is really nice which is important to me and the world building is WONDERFUL!!! The captains interactions, silly bits, and fights with each other are so scrumptious to me, I also love how diverse and how many different loveable npcs there are <3. Now PD is still very much held close to my heart, but I’m still listening to it and I’m not the biggest fan of the world building (it’s also a modern world so it makes sense for it to not have as much) as well as the pacing, but hey, it’s hard to pace things out in a dnd campaign!

For ✈️ I think I would either choose the growing & shrinking sword from PDs season 1 or one of the necklaces that the Aslana gave the Captains from Riptide cus they would be easy to get through security with. The sword Id be able to do a Dakota and just wear it as an earring, and the necklace wouldn’t be a problem at all since it’s just a pretty lookin sea glass necklace for all they know ;). As you can see I choose from the magical items by “how the heck would I be able to hide this” hahaha.

Thanks sm for asking :D!!! This was fun!!!

HOT TAKE TOURNAMENT:

PRE-PRELIMINARY #1

Submission 142:

"Fallout 3 is just objectively a terrible game and people are too blinded by nostalgia/franchise loyalty to understand how deep it goes"

(Pre-preliminaries will be used to judge whether this submission qualifies as a hot take. Propaganda is encouraged!)

Submitted justification under the cut:

Every Fallout game since Bethesda took over has had a very distinct central theme. New Vegas is about the past vs the future, Fallout 4 is about personal identity/truth, and Fallout 3 is about ✨morality✨. Every choice in the game boils down to “I’m such a good person, just an innocent little vault baby who wants to help people 🥺” or “HAHAHA MURDER IS FUN I WANT TO EAT BABIES”. (And don’t get me wrong, cartoonishly evil actions can both be very fun and have always had a place in the Fallout series, but this particular installment both prides itself and is propped up by its fans as being a “dark, gritty, mature” on the Fallout setting). It’s always so annoyingly black and white, the only exceptions being when the main story forces you to be evil to progress. And it’s not in a grimdark way, the game seems to genuinely see no issue with it. The two major factions are a replica of the U.S. military that hates mutants and thinks they should be killed via eugenics, and a replica of the U.S. military that hates mutants and thinks they should be killed via genocide. Guess which one is the “good guy” faction! You literally can’t because they’re both basically the same thing and they’re both equally awful. Turns out the hero faction is the genocide one, but they saved you from some hostile mutants one time so actually they’re okay 🥺. Ignore the fact that the mutants are very provably sentient and the only actually selfless and good NPC is, himself, a mutant. It’s fine.

And brief sidebar here to mention that the main story LITERALLY ISN’T COMPLETED UNLESS YOU BUY A DLC. Like technically there’s an “ending”, but you just get to the eleventh hour and then either: a) Die or b) Have the game call you a coward and a bad person because you opted to have someone who is RESISTANT TO RADIATION step into a HEAVILY IRRADIATED AREA instead of killing yourself by doing it because… “thematic parallels” to when they fridged your dad, I guess? So then say you bought the rest of the story for enough real world money to get you like. A nice meal. Or a better game. Then what’s the new ending? Well, it seems at first to be a morally challenging decision! You’ve been sent by the Brotherhood of Steel (aforementioned genocide faction) to infiltrate the base of and then redirect a nuke to the Enclave (aforementioned eugenics faction). Yes you are their most important soldier now. The main character of this game happens to be the only Fallout protagonist with a concrete age (that being 19), but an adult’s an adult I GUESS.

You get to the terminal and prepare to direct the bombs, but you’re presented with a choice as to where to send them. You could direct them at the base you’re in right now, eliminating the Enclave (including innocent non-combatants), or you could choose to disobey your orders and send the, to Megaton, Rivet City, (two major settlements), Project Purity (your father’s life’s work, a lab meant to distribute clean water to the wasteland which has since been blockaded by the BoS because they want to turn a profit off of it), or the Citadel (the Brotherhood’s base of operations). If you choose Megaton, Rivet City, or Project Purity, the game will inform you that those were actually just false choices and you were supposed to pick something else. If you pick the Enclave base, then you get a little good ending cutscene where you’re informed that the Brotherhood is preparing for it’s next mission to go kill a bunch of mutants in the city. Yay! Fun! +100 karma points! But if you instead bomb the Citadel, then you get back and find it’s ruined remains. Grr. Bad. -100 karma. You’re evil now. And yes there was a child soldier there (technically a scribe, not a soldier, but Veronica from NV was also a scribe and she was 27 and killed people so yeah.), but in Fo4 we learn that that kid, as well as that whole branch of the Brotherhood, survived anyways! And need I remind you that there were also noncombatants in the Enclave base. So what’s the moral here? It’s good to be loyal to the racist technofacists that indoctrinated you into joining them when you were barely an adult and just lost your lifelong home? And that’s just the main story.

The karma system for companions is so dumb, really companions in general in this game are awful. But I’m going to get to karma first so that it’ll make more sense why they such so much. Karma fills a role similar to what reputation would later in the series, measuring how much people are inclined to like you based on your previous actions. Except instead of being faction based and measuring how people feel about how you’ve directly interacted with the specific groups they’re affiliated with, it just measures if you’re generally a Good Person or a Bad Person. Very nuanced. To be a good person, give water to homeless people, donate to the church, and take positive actions for the BoS. To be a bad person, steal things, kill non-combatants (oh wait), and take negative actions against the Brotherhood. So if you want to maintain a specific karma, you have to take actions that suit it. The game pushes you towards good karma at certain points in the story, and generally it’s very hard to maintain a neutral score without spilling into good or evil. Anyways, back to the companions. Your fun, unique cast of traveling partners are a series staple, so who do we have? A military robot who will only side with you if you have neutral karma. Your childhood bully who will only side with you if you have neutral karma. A retired raider who claims to be better now, but still does some really awful stuff (and who will only side with you if you have evil karma. A slave and an indentured servant who you can *buy the contracts of.* These are TWO SEPARATE CHARACTERS. They did this TWICE. Plus the slave (who is an asian woman) will constantly fawn over the player (who would have had to have evil karma to buy her) and act romantically towards them. YIKES. I could get into so much more but I’ve been at this for an hour with no music or anything, just venting/ranting. Thanks for putting up with it being so long, by the way, it was kind of cathartic. Just to close things off here: The gunplay is really clunky and unfun, the world is bleak, ugly, and blocked off by a ton of invisible walls that make it a drag to explore, almost all of the characters are a pain to sit through interactions with, and the graphics (though not a dealbreaker), aged really poorly. I’m begging you to just play New Vegas or Fallout 4 instead PLEASE. If you already have then try out the original isometric games. Or the so bad they’e kind of funny spinoffs. Or the mobile game. Or the board game. Or the tabletop roleplaying game. Heck, even 76. Just please don’t play Fallout 3 and stop acting like it’s good.

[fanfoolishness]

Rewatch of the Mandalorian Chapter 21, the Pirate:

Don’t smack talk Greef’s fashion sense!

“He shot first” heheh

aww Greef is starting to get worried

Dammit Nevarro! Just when you were looking more than ever like Los Angeles with those little purple flower things and all the ficus trees!

Nevarran fashion is a lil… medieval? Fancy hats.

I need to download the song for the New Republic bar because it lowkey slaps

It’s this guy! Captain Teva! His casual outfit is pretty cool.

For everyone who has seen Rebels, I wish you a very happy Zeb

Dammit Coruscant. Why do you have a brutalist sector?

Oh THIS BITCH awwww NO Elia Kane you just need to not be here, dude

But Tim Meadows my beloved!!! I had no idea he was in this season! I enjoy his vexation

Elia Kane quit stalking people you freaking creep! I hate her, she’s so good at this.

Love her evil-ass music too. Stop being eeeevil

And then Solas the protocol droid led Greef Karga the Herald to a hidden castle in the wilderness after the fall of Haven/Nevarro — oh wait, no, my Dragon Age feels go over there

Seriously, the Nevarrans look like Catherine, Called B-Wing

… I don’t remember how Carson Teva knew that Din knew Greef, really, but he’s so likable I don’t mind

Who you calling “blue boy”, PAZ???

R5 vindication! And also getting back at Din ahahaha

I cannot help but adore the Mandalorian Talking Hammer, that is so perfect for them

“The foundling in your charge” fuck, Din, you should be saying “MY SON” you fucker

“I’m in no position to ask” he asked, Darksaberwieldingly

“Our children” WELL YOU’RE GETTING CLOSER ANYWAY

I really thought Paz was gonna go off and then he did and I was like “ho shit, Paz character development? All righty then!”

What stake did the Armorer have in this? She didn’t try to sway them one way or the other? Does she have an ulterior motive?

Grogu still comes for every mission, yesss

Love Bo’s speech! All right, while I miss Din tremendously this season, I’m loving the season of Bo on its own merits. Also, how weird is it to see the Armorer in a ship? it’s like when your companion NPC moves from their place on the map and you know a great cutscene is going to begin

Poor lil broken droid :( Mean pirates! And they fucked up the school again :(

It’s the Mandalorian - bitch you thought hahaha

I need more smug motherfucker Din back in my life, I beg you

Wish we had more weird accents among the Mandalorians. Bo’s is pretty Standard, Paz and the Armorer are weird and flat and formal, and Din has some of that as well. But like, if they’re a diaspora, I wanna hear some variation!

One of my favorite tropes is “noncombatant citizen nevertheless rises up to defend their homeland”, and Kowakian monkey-lizards pointing out an ambush was a cheesy lil slice of delight

Paz how are you seriously so LARGE

High Magistrate Greef Karga, you are so cute and I love you

I do really love how Nevarro has been a touchstone for the entire series, and love seeing how it’s evolved over the years. Things like that are some of my favorite things about this show.

The Armorer wishes to speak with you. Here, let me accompany you to this extremely tense and dangerous music, I’m sure everything will be fine

The Armorer is… getting emotional? Reminiscent about Mandalore? I’m scared and so intrigued!!!

The sassy and scary way she asked “Do you respect my station?” And her “Remove your helmet,,.” I am… alarmed and aroused

This music is so calculating! So very Luke, join me!

Wait, Paz isn’t in on this plan? Interesting, I had assumed he was in the Armorer’s pocket.

I am hopeful for Bo because I do think she’d be a great leader? But also frightened because who could trust the Armorer in that moment? (I mean, aside from Bo who 1) I’m sure respects Armorers and 2) doesn’t know her well and 3) is seeking a home… and this is how smart people can get sucked into cults!). It could go either way, I suppose. Are she and Din finally gonna have the epic duel? I can’t see Din’s heart being in it, and I also don’t want that to happen until he’s actually competent with the Darksaber and learns why it’s been fighting him. I just need Din, Din, Din!

But this episode has me much more intrigued and curious about where the season is going, so I’m excited for next week!

[thefandom-casserole]

My thoughts on the new episode :>

- THE INTRO CALLBACK TO THE BETH MAY WEALTH AHHHHH

- The change in voice for npc Beth I love this

- “Oh.” “Ron” “what are we” DYING. The qpr ever <3

- Beth doing the Ron thing at the end of the “ad” reminded me so much of Beth’s voice during the beginning of Snarl Back Someday 💔

- “Maybe got married to the doodler…?” “No we definitely didn’t get married to the doodler” “awww”

- TIEFLING ROGUE TAYLOR IS RON TAYLOR IS RON TALOR IS RON

- Freddie really out there stealing Ron from Beth lol

- Taylor out here getting Paeden’s power which was given to the Daddies for free 💔 (the ability to see whether something is higher, equal, or lower than them)

- The spirit of Paeden lives on !!!!!

- Hehehe Taylor didn’t get a Teen Fact

- Linc Fact: Parent Teacher Days/Essentially SFW Date Nights are Linc’s fave days of school because he can go do whatever he wants

- Normal Mustache Fact: Essential oils for his mustache, it’s doubled in strand count 8>>16, plus smells like lavender

- Scary Fact: She doesn’t run errands, she walks them. Bitch

- Anthony Fact: He knows he can fix a person I don’t even know :> He’d make her a trans rights activist

- Daddy magic collection jar folk music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- Ron and Darryl got sent to the timeout room 😭 bet Paeden’s there

- MEATBALL SCARY

- Oooh do we think Taylor’s lost his interest in survivalist stuff?? That makes me unreasonably sad :c

- Freddie’s song!!!!!!!!!!! I’d unironically listen to that tbh

- AUTISTIC NORMAL AND HIS SCHOOL SPECIAL INTEREST IS BACK WHOOOO TONY PEPPERONI

- Oh boy is this bouta get angsty

- Oh boy they’re getting upset with normal oh dear oh dear

- I’m nervous for the rest o’ this

- Oooh right Normal’s a cheerleader!!!! He should be pretty decently in shape!!!!!

- Henry and Normal parallels (the pyramid deaths, and the Tony Pepperoni)

- “I was myself” she takes responsibility she takes responsibility Beth plays Scary so well this is amazing omg this is so well done I’m crying good god

- SCARY ASKING HOW IT FELT TO DIE FOR TERRY JR. IM SOBBING IM SOBBING

- “I eat mop” hahaha very funny

- “You seem nice” “no. I’m a bad girl” something something the symbolism of Dood adoring the Bad Girl thing and Scary only wanting to do what’s right now and wanting to redeem herself, but Dood still caring and loving being a Bad Girl

- “Terry kept saying he was proud of me, but he never met me when I was someone to be proud of” 💔 you don’t need to be something special to be proud of that’s why Terry loved you (sobbing sobbing sobbing screaming throwing up good god)

- Hell cops eyyyyy Jodie Foster

- I can’t believe Linc wants to steal the ambulance

- Remember when Linc wrote letters to the firefighter’s families? So do I.

- THEY’RE FIGHTING GOOD GOD

- “I AM JELOUS I DON’T HAVE ANY COOL DYNAMICS WITH ANYBODY” Normal oh god oh dear oh boy

- Teeny The Teen Normal

- “OH THAT’S FUN!!”

- “It’s impossible not to look in a mirror…” LINC ANGST OH GOD

- The teens trying to cheer Normal up <3333333

- Ron’s back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Whoooo

- That metaphor is really really good for Scary I really like that

- WHY ARE TERRY AND GLENN FIGHTING OMG WTF JESUS

- OH WAKT MAYBE BECAUSE TERRY WAS PART OF THE REASON NICKY LOST HIS LIMBS!?!!??

- All in all this is one of my favorites this season. There was so much angst I adored this :> I cannot wait to see what happens with Normal and Scary

My Food Is Possessive Of Me

This place is huge... 

Annelie glances around the halls of RAD, watching as students pass by noisily chattering. 

???: Need some help?

Annelie glances behind her to see a white-haired male. 

???: Annelie, right?

Annelie: Ah... you must be Solomon. 

Solomon: Bingo. I heard you were meant to be a human transfer here like myself, but...

Annelie: Stuff happened. 

Annelie smiles crookedly. 

Annelie: Not really human anymore. 

Solomon: Well, it’s a shame to lose your humanity, I suppose, but there are worse things that could have happened. 

Solomon starts walking with Annelie. 

Solomon: So where are you heading? 

Annelie: Devildom Art History.

Solomon: Hm? I’m going there too. Hahaha. That’s convenient; I imagine that was intentional, given Lord Diavolo’s personality. It gives us more time to talk as well. 

Annelie: About?

Solomon: Well, I must confess I’m very curious about your status as a demon. How did you become one? How did you feel about it? 

Annelie: I don’t know really know how it happened, but I was initially distraught. Now, I’m just kind of conflicted. Does that alleviate your curiosity?

Solomon: Conflicted?

Annelie: Being a succubus is hard. 

Solomon: I see. Well, if it’s of any comfort to you, I’d like to help you any way I can while you study here, so don’t hesitate to call me. You may not be human anymore, but I still consider you one. 

Annelie: Thank y—

Lucifer: Annelie, there you are. You forgot this. 

Lucifer approaches and hands a D.D.D. to Annelie. 

I didn’t forget shit. And you appeared out of freaking nowhere like some kind of tutorial NPC. 

Lucifer: Really now... you can’t forget something so essential. Please be a little less careless from now on. It’s bad enough that I have to feed you. 

Solomon and Annelie look at each other. 

Does he think Solomon doesn't know what feeding me entails, or is he just pretending to be polite? It's a warning either way from where I'm standing. Possessive little shit.  

Annelie: Thank you. 

Lucifer seems to be waiting expectantly for something. 

Annelie: ...sir. 

Lucifer: Haha. What a good pet. 

Annelie: Are you still mad about last night?

Lucifer: I have no idea what you're talking about. 

Annelie: I thought you were mad that I wouldn't wear the skirt for the RAD uniform and stole your pants.

Lucifer: ...my pants fit you?

Lucifer seems somewhat at a loss as he looks at the pants Annelie is wearing.  

Annelie: Hiked up to my stomach with a belt, yes. I told you I could make it work. 

Though in hindsight, it’s actually more uncomfortable than wearing a skirt. 

Lucifer: There are a lot of things I’d like to say, but as I don’t have the time, remind me when you come home to get you pants that are your size. 

Annelie: Eh?

Lucifer: I don’t have a problem with you wearing pants, Annelie, and neither does Diavolo. 

Annelie: Then what was that whole 20 minute argument about?!

Lucifer: The tone you used with me. 

Annelie mutters under her breath. 

Annelie: I’ll tone you. 

Lucifer: I heard that. Don’t forget that I can make your life a living hell if I so choose. 

Annelie: But I’m already in hell. 

Lucifer: Devildom. 

Annelie: Same thing. 

Solomon leans over to whisper to Annelie. 

Solomon: Hell is a human concept. Some take it as an insult to have their home compared to that kind of miserable construct. The Devildom is more of an embodiment of chaos rather than eternal damnation. 

Annelie: So I touched a nerve?

Solomon: I think you have a talent for getting on his nerves. Ahahaha. 

Annelie: Well, it’s kind of fun to antagonize him just for his reactions.

Solomon: I’m liking you more and more, Annelie. 

Annelie: Call me Anne.

Lucifer: Oi, what are you two whispering about?

Annelie: Oh, nothing important. Just nice things. Anyway, is that all? I think me and Sol have to get going before you make us late. 

Lucifer: No. 

Lucifer steps closer and buttons Annelie’s collar to her neck. 

Lucifer: Wear your uniform properly. 

He’s definitely acting like this because of Solomon. 

He walks away, and Annelie glances back at Solomon, who is chuckling to himself.

Solomon: What an interesting relationship you two have. 

Annelie: Tell me about it. 

[devintrinidad]

OH MY GOD THESE TAGS!??!?! WHAT IS HE DOING TO MY GIRL????? (Im intrigued)

I thought u meant 4948/3803 with the war au but knowing that it's 1146 instead makes me support it more!!! I just didn't want my babies to hurt but if it's 1146 getting his ass beat then I'm all for it 🫦 3803/1146 angst is so 💥💥💥💥💥

OKGgahshwyx THESE ARE SO ADORABLE. I love how they said 2001 would wouldn't talk to her much but would feed her instead. It's so grandma coded of him LMAOOO

OH MY GOD YOUR SCENARIO OF 5100 AND THE BOYS!!!I AM GONNA THINK ABOUT THAT FOR A WHILE!! I completely agree with everything u said about their dynamic. 2626 would instantly sing her frozen's Lost in the Woods under her window while 2048 would have a petty neighbours rivarly arc with her (if they were to live in the same complex.)

AWWWW NK LIKES CUTE STUFF?? I LOVE THIS!!! No wonder she likes Eosinophil as well.

MACROPHAGE/2001/BASOPHIL POLY OMG YOU ARE A *GENIUS* YESYEYS I SUPPORT THIS. The hotness levels are off charts.

2001 doesn't tell anyone about it. It's not that he is shy like 1146. He just... doesn't. No one asked so he didn't say anything.

As for basophil, he would never outright say it. Every now and then he'd drop a piece of info about his relationship status and you have to connect all of the clues to complete his story like a game npc

Macrophage told ppl about her boyfriends but no one realized she is talking about 2001 and basophil despite her straight up saying she is dating a basophil and a wbc bc no one expected these two losers to score the baddest cell in the body

Thanks to you as well and have a good day!!

Horrible things! That’s what he’s gonna do! Horrible things!

Oh my gosh, I made a mistake! It’s not 1146, it’s actually 4989! It’s an older fic—still on my ffnet account hahaha

(I’m actually not the biggest fan of 1146/3803 if you could believe that. It’s cute and I do ship it, but it’s not my number one: 4989/3803 is).

Heheheh 2001 is definitely world’s best grandma/grandpa!

There’s like canon art of NK in the macrophage’s outfit! It’s really cute and I think she was blushing too!

And yes!!! Basophil and 2001 would either be so white or so vague about who the third is in their relationship that everyone just gets so confused that it’s actually Macrophage!

Have you ever drawn CAW fanart? I think you’re a fan artist, right?

[dexmckinnery]

Something that traumatized me was Giacomo's official reference sheet with his student look and that damn massive forehead, why did they do dirty to him xD (I sort of grew found on it thanks to japanese artists on Pixiv but still :V). I will congratulate GF the day when they let us customize the MC aside skin color =3= there are chubby kids like I was, c'mon >:U (I get to claim freedom in customization when I in everyday life suffer from image issues due to my flab body pfff)

I haven't finished the game tho, just BARELY defeated Arven in the lighthouse and got lazy with the league sksksks (Same with Arceus, barely defeated Kleavor and gave up on the game :V [Understand for "barely" and having my teams crushed but one survivors for going kinda underleveled lmao]) Might replay both games on my recovery days after the surgey...

Keeping on the characters designs... I have a hate-love relationship with Rose xD I love his design so much and even his dorky personality but the plot of the game was... *Cries* (I was stolen the dream of having a villain champion, I was so sure Leon was the main villain brainwashing Rose but we know how that went u3u)

At this point is obvious I crush hard on fictional men xD specially Pokémon ones but the thing is... it was until gen 7 I began caring about the human characters dkdjdj (I'm not a creep I swear ;w; )

Nooo, his forehead is perfect XD I actually really like that they gave him balding. A+! And yes, they really need to let us choose protag age too =T Please.

Oh, hope you enjoy the ending then! =o If you ever play it XD Well... I’ve been trying to not be tooo spoilerry on the ask blog but... it’ll make more sense if you’ve seen all the Team Star stuff at least XD Playing them to pass time after surgery might be an idea! Good luck!!

Poor Rose XD Yeah... I do remember, mostly, hahaha! I feel like there’s more to know about Geeta though...

And honestly? Gen 7 is when they really started trying with character personalities in the games for the NPCs so that makes complete sense, I think ¦D I felt it started with Sun and Moon at least. I’m so glad they’re giving the supporting cast more personality now

[m1ckeyb3rry]

DHDGSJSJS touching grass for an embarrassingly long time SORRY I fear this is not quite the end of the grass touching….it should be soon though within the next week or so then I can go back to being chronically online ugh

PLEASE get rid of that /j im /srs episode Karasu PLEASEEE I lowk wanna see more of him in action at Bambi Osaka omg I remember when people were still theorizing Kira comeback lowk kinda fun reading all of their “analysis” but fr like npcs are needed…no npc shaming here their unimportance is important LMAO

LMFAO WAIT SENDOU FITS SO WELL peaked boyfailure energy i lowk forgot about him oops

LMAOOO dw 2k event will be nagipalooza trust…also OOPS thought i read the otoya one was a req somewhere my b but either way wait speaking of how’s that going? The otoya inspo before Karasu inspo is really funny though LOL

I HAD A FEELING I was trying to pinpoint who the dead boy was and figured Niko was the only reasonable option even if it wasn’t exactly him LMAOO

RIN ISEKAID BY A SHOT FROM SHIDOU TO THE HEAD LMFDOAOAOAOAAO im crying that would be a really funny crack fic

YESS THATS THE AUDIO LMAOOO omg you get me!!! But LOLL imagine Niko taking notes on who has the most vibrant hair like “yup ok they’re a main character I’m not gonna play against them they’ve got plot armor” and fr the otoya chive strip overpowers the 80% white on his head would not categorize him as white haired LMAO

LMFAOOO the stop fighting tiktok has me laughing but also omg eightbit did that scene kinda dirty omg

AUAHAHA I SAW THE ISAGI DRESSED UP AS KAISER ONE it’s actually hilarious the posing sent me

Oh wait that Aiku edit kinda….ok if he fr just cleaned up that stubble I would’ve been an Aiku fan a long time ago I just cannot get over the stubble…..this edit fr being aikus wingman though….we’re still in the homeboy zone that stubble lowk is a dealbreaker rn I won’t allow it….

OSISUHDIS KARASUUUUUU bro his voice…HIS VOICE >>>>>> Karasu my number one eightbit please continue to feed us

CRYING THATS SO LORENZO CODED he would def do that in oaeu and even in canon LMAOOO

I refreshed the page so I could send in this ask and got jumpscared by that….that….emoji….????? You used in your latest reply I’m gone

- Karasu anon

ALDHSHAHSJ IT’S OKAYYY it’s midterms week for me this week to be honest so i’ll probably be somewhat mia as well 😭 we are in this together but trust we will both be back and better than ever soon enough!!

PLSSS okay because i would eat up seeing him in bambi osaka ngl ughhhh i love him so much he’s literally my man LMAOAO anyways yeah i’ve seen the kira comeback theories circulating idk i think at this point it’s not going to happen but some of them were cool!! agreed though sometimes npcs can just stay npcs it’s okay 😭 focus the backstory and development on characters that are actually important HAHAHA

no because i ALWAYS forget about sendou except for his few mentions in the oaeu but he lowkey fits the vibes insanely well especially given his egoist bible info like he’s just silly 😭 you’ll never catch me caring abt him but sometimes when you need a character you need a character yk

AHDHSHSH 2K WE CAN ONLY HOPE my next event will probably be 1.5k i think…ik people do 1.2k a lot but i’m already kinda close to that and i’ve posted ONE 1k event req so uhhh yeah i’ll wait until 1.5k i think every 500 followers is a good rhythm and gives me some downtime too because i have so many fics i need to work on for myself too 😫

ngl i’ve been very scattered in my writing attempts UGH haven’t felt truly inspired by anything in a bit…wrote a couple sentences for pursuit and then closed the doc…wrote a page or two for a 1k event req and then closed the doc…wrote a bit for nagi’s oaeu and then closed the doc…fixed a typo in the in-progress-since-june chapter of PEREGRINE 😭 and then closed the doc…so the going has been rough 😓 i was briefly inspired for the oaeu and aiku did come and speak through me for a bit which was nice (can always rely on him for that) but then i was just not feeling it 😔 i didn’t end up starting the otoya one shot but lowkey maybe i should just try working on that and seeing if i get anywhere 😰 worst comes to worst i’ll rewatch violet evergarden or smth and be inspired to write the most soul crushing one shot for someone or another

NIKO IS ALWAYS CATCHING STRAYS LDFJJSNDS bro cannot catch a break reader’s uncle was fr in his isagi era or smth…anyways yeah it was him!! i love throwing in sly little #hehe references every now and again

OKAY BECAUSE LOWKEY THE VISION HAS ME CACKLING imagine it has one of those cheesy ass titles like “My Rival Hit Me in the Head With a Soccer Ball and Now I Have to Save the Cold Unifier of Japan!” or smth like that LMAOAOAO hold on who are we picking though…stan rin in yukimiya’s body or ninja otoya (i’d include gardener karasu but that’s not a fair option because we all know who we’d pick if he was a choice)

WAIT SPEAKING OF GREEN the blue lock additional times have made me realize otoya’s eyebrows are also green??? so he’s canonically green haired TO ME like the white isn’t even there fr…LMAOAAO niko predicts chigiri’s awakening before it even happens because no “background character” would ever have hair that bright 😭

PLSSS lowkey 8bit did not come through for us icl 😔 at least they made karasu and OTOYA ESPECIALLY really fine…next ep is looking like there will be some nagi and yuki action i’m hoping that means we get better animation since 8bit is just like me and loves nagi KDHDJSSJ

NO BECAUSE THAT EDIT IS FR WINGMANNING THE WINGMAN idk what it is but it’s fr making me go hmm….agreed the stubble just isn’t it i can’t get over it!! it’s like how kaiser looks 10x better with his shaggy gold emo hair than with whatever tf he has going on like come onnnn you have potential but i just can’t fully see the vision yet 🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁

KARASU’S VOICE IS SOOOOO NAHDJSDBHDDHSJDJHDSBS anyways i’ve been getting SOO many edits of him and otoya lately it’s amazing my fyp is literally flooded and yk i save EVERY ONE 😭 they’re lowkey popular now they kinda missing the times when they were #secret and it was only elite people who liked them 😔 JKJKJK ofc i’m glad we’re getting more content now TRUST but like…i better not see y’all mischaracterizing my boys…😒😒😒 those are MY emotional support idiot lovesick losers DON’T MAKE THEM PLAYBOYS PLEASEEEEEE I KNOW OTOYA’S A DUMBASS FLIRT BUT HE’S SECRETLY A RIZZLESS LOSER PLSPLSPLS

Author hi!! I hope life is treating you well, have a cookie :)

(I know the line, he is so darling UGH—) Kinich out there mastering any variations of every extreme sport xD

Also WDYM— reading the tags is the most important(/fun) part of reading a Tumblr post HAHAH anyhow yess!! They do look like the design teams from other hoyo games had a hand on them I'd argue they feel more like zzz characters xD

IF Snezhnaya turns out to be even more 'modern' —for no apparent reason— I'm gonna lose it HAHAHA although Tartaglia pulling up in a limousine would be extremely funny.

Would love to get ANY explanation.. a technological tribe would be the best outcome, on a side note have you seen the 5.2 version stream? Any thoughts you'd like to share??

Have a nice week author!! Tomorrow is Kinich birthday can't wait to see some fanworks about him ><

Hehe thank you!! I hope everyone’s been taking care of themselves!!

You bet I have something for Kinich’s birthday! Looking forward to hearing your reactions to it 😆

Warning that my thoughts on the 5.2 stream gets LONG

Yes Kinich is SUCH a darling!! Being with him must be exhausting though, with how energetic he is HAHA

Anyway, I agree about reading the tags because some people just put the most hilarious stuff in there!! Regarding the Natlan characters, they do fit the vibe of ZZZ! Meanwhile, when we reach Snezhnaya, I won’t even be surprised if Tartaglia’s limousine can fly with wheels that can turn into jets or something HAHAHA

Regarding the 5.2 stream, there’s only one part of it I distinctly remember

Mutota.

The hat + weirdly shaped goggles(?) is extremely doofy but the rest of him had me going WHAT??? I wasn’t expecting to see any of the chiefs in the stream so he completely blindsided me like FUCK HE’S HOT??? Shirtless?? Scars?? ACTUALLY HAS KIND OF A TAN???

Previously, I was deliberating on whether I should start writing my Kinich/Male Tribe Chiefs story for the Never Turn Back series. On one hand, I have so much ideas for it, though on the other, I wanted to wait for all the Tribe Chiefs to make their appearances before doing anything. But then Mutota came swinging in with a YEEHAW and now you bet I’ll be speedrunning the story once the update drops. I’m so excited to see his personality!!! You can expect a story featuring our 3/4 Tribe Chiefs soon LMAO

Which brings me to my next point. I’m really looking forward to meeting the Masters of the Night-Wind’s chief! As nice as it to have another man, I’m also half hoping their chief is just the very wise Iktomisaur Elder because that’ll be HILARIOUS

Eagerly awaiting the 5.2 update for Chasca/Ororon: ❌❌❌

Eagerly awaiting the 5.2 update for a freaking NPC: ✅✅✅

Side note, but why does everyone in the Flower-Feather Clan look like cowboys??? I’m probably just uneducated and missing some cultural nuance but Natlan’s such a confusing amalgamation of IRL cultures I gave up 🙃 (UPDATE: I am an unfortunate victim of Hollywood propaganda and for those who don’t know COWBOYS AREN’T ORIGINALLY WHITE PEOPLE!!! I’m so glad I went to research it because I learnt so much!! For those interested, look up “Black Cowboys” and “Vaqueros”; a wonderful reminder of just how rich and diverse human culture is across the world. Now I’m mad again that Chasca’s white HAHA)

That aside, after rewatching the stream, here are my thoughts. One, Mutota. Two, Mutota. Three, CHASCA’S SAURIAN MUM YESSSSSS!!!! Four, why is the update’s drawing featuring Citlali and Ororon? Plus there’s also a very tiny and random NPC in the middle??? It’s pretty but Chasca’s getting completely overshadowed even though she’s the 5 star of this update HAHAHA

I’m calling it now: Citlali’s going to be Genshin’s new favourite child. First it was Ayaka, then it was Arlecchino, and now Citlali…

Why why why why is Ororon a 4 Star Electro bow??? We have Fischl, Sethos, and Sara already??? Couldn’t they have made him a 5 star??? Or another weapon??? At least we have our first Electro Tall Male I guess??? Here’s hoping Ifa’s going to be an Anemo Tall Male because the ranks have been all very adorable boys for now…

They’re really making us wait for the Collective of Plenty, aren’t they? Though I’m glad we’re getting more Iansan! Plus Capitano’s going to show up too! And of course we also got a glimpse of Ifa’s house(?) so that’s a nice bonus!

We’re getting a new buddy to follow us around!! Our Little One is finally going to get more friends!!

The newest boss has a really cool design, but the gameplay looks like a PAIN. It’s essentially just a reskin of a bunch of other bosses, which I’m not too thrilled about, and I’m really hoping they don’t shove it in the Spiral Abyss because it looks like a HUGE time sink…

Lastly, shoutout to Gabe and Kai from the localisation team!! Absolute heroes for stepping up while the Voice Actors are rightfully fighting for their rights. Damn shitty companies selling their soul to robots again. Negativity aside, Gabe and Kai sound MUCH more natural in this stream compared to the previous one!! It was so pleasant to watch!! To be honest, I wouldn’t mind having them present all the update streams from now on 🤣

While the VAs make streams sound like a fun party, which is great of course, these two feel like we’re sitting down with friends and chatting over a nice drink. Both have their charms, but I personally like the localisation team’s more because of how straightforward their delivery of information is HAHAH

If you made it all the way here, thank you for letting me waste a few minutes of your time screaming about some NPC nobody cares about!! Have some cake 🍰 🍰 🍰 Everyone good luck for their pulls in 5.2!!! I’m just waiting for one man and no its not Ororon HAHAHA
