If W1 and Gabe ever find a truce, would Gabriel get annoyed by W1 talking to itself all the time or would they actually have good conversations between the 2 of them? Would Gabriel ask why the two of them decided to fuse in the first place? Are they even able to speak?? Who does the speaking??
(So many questions sorry!!! 😫)
Small assortment of low-effort fun doodles where Gabriel actually brings W1 to heaven for you anon!
First of all all of W1's internal dialogue is very much internal. The two brains constantly talk to each other in there silently. So if anything it will be eerily silent, because it'd simply forget to communicate what it's thinking about. VV1 simply has no inherent need to include anyone else in it's conversations with itself.
W1 does have a voice synthesizer and both of them speak. Both are very loose with what the other is allowed to say and I mean VERY. In addition, if they get too excited and try to use the voice synthesizer at the same time it gets super buggy!
As for Gabriel I think he lacks very important context and information about W1 as a whole. He doesn't even know or assume the machine is actually a buy one get one for free kind of deal. I think he'd be a bit..? Weirded out?
Not that he hasn't seen enough horrors, by all means hes desensitized. But Ultrakill's hell is full with quite a few entities that are all about unwillingly sharing a body and using that as torture. W1 enjoying it's predicament is... interesting..? It's curious even! He'd definitely ask it why it is the way it is!
... And many other questions too probably!!!! There's a lot to be curious about with this bug.
#ultrakill#doodles#gabriel ultrakill#w1 ultrakill#w1#gabriel#v1#v2#ask#anonymous#this is kind of a parody of the comic where w1 holds gabriels heart#please do check it out teehee#!! as for how well w1 would answer gabriels questions it also depends#if he manages to keep their attention he might manage to get some interesting info!#what a curious bug#somehow able to appreciate life when it was designed to presumably destroy it#PHEW sorry for the long answer#imagine asking me abt VV1 and getting a short response

Rey, who is in my very biased opinion, one of the funniest "girls" I have because she's just a guy, truly. Like Rey is just short for Reynold because he was recruited by a a goddess to help the hero she selected and the hero is conveniently Reynold's younger brother. So he agrees to help under the condition that the goddess gives him a female body for the other world. She's like "really odd flex but whatever" and gives him a female form and he's like "you know. I can't really blame anyone but myself for not specifying 'please don't turn me into a Lisa Frank personification'."
#my characters#ya know since i draw daily idk if ill do any challenges this month#i know theres a LOT of them out there but i might hold off and do huevember as a challenge and let this month just be chill#for what its worth he only asks for a female body because his baby brother (like 10 years younger than him)#commented ONE TIME ugh its so weird to have you dote on me like this#why couldnt you have been an older sister or look less suspicious#so when sent to help his brother hes like RIGHT GOT IT GIRL TIME LIKE THE MOST LOGIC COURSE OF ACTION#then does a really good job at helping the hero and then gets abducted by the demon army and#as rey keeps challenging the demons checking on him in the dungeon (who are all very kind?) to just interrogate him already#and they just ask why would they do that? they just wanted her outta the way for a bit#cause they dont actually want to hurt anyone and then the demon lord keeps personally visiting rey and continues#to point out how she gives him a headache and how the core is different than the shell#and so then he offers to revert rey back to his original form and reynold immediately accepts#and so now hes just a guy again surrounded by v nice demons#and hes like please just be mean ive been trained to handle violence you have to stop being nice#im not used to nice ok you have to be mean or else im going to develop stockholm syndrome#and the demons are just ?? we dont .... dont know.... what that is.......... what.....#then he gets engaged to the demon lord and all is well ! he becomes the trophy husband to the demon lord#and the world is saved (it was never at risk)#i have a lot of love for the idiots in this plot#because reynold and sascha are literal husbands thinking oh no my beloved husband is only married out of convenience to meeee#and solei is the goddess who recruited him and is so mad that reynold is more of a gremlin than sascha#like why is this mere mortal somehow worse than THE DEMON LORD how in the world#and reynold runs around just adopting all of the demon army and is like yeah#ill be the trophy husband with a hundred kids and a hot 7ft tall demon husband who can change into a huge dragon#and hes really content in this role!#but for a while he does appear as rey and hates how much of a highlighter he is

@requiodile EXACTLY my thoughts !!!! rei's too old and tired and will probably have to clean the loads outa his butt for the next several hours. yakumo can carry HIMSELF back home after wreaking that kind of destruction
#the tags tho#going thru the bottoms like a checklist#and there rei was. standing in my imagination#i tried dropping yakumo onto him#and he just sidestepped before looking unimpressed at the ground lump#rei's a bard. not a paladin or a soldier#he will have no part in this thing you call Physical Labour#(that does not yield him juicy delicious invigorating essence)#yakumo you gotta take it easier on him#hold him gently like gamburger#rei's right tho#his scolding is actually some very kind and gentle advice (which i'm sure yakumo will understand after his initial mortification)#if you spread out your pentupness amongst all the bottoms#or at least. check in to your body more frequently to avoid disastrous buildups#you won't blow out ol man rei's back the next time you visit him!!#and maybe you'll be able to linger a bit more. do some proper aftercare. not get kicked out as fast.#because rei's cranky from the increased body pains and needs ample alone time to recover HAAHA#i'm laughing at the image of rei immediately kicking yakumo out while they're both still naked#so yakumo is crying and saying sorry while his voice slowly fades from rei's cabin#he's just naked and holding a pile of his clothes and so focused on running away (not inconveniencing rei anymore)#that he doesn't notice how clothesless he is#hobbling down the path in bare feet#his dick hasn't even fully dried yet HAH#yakurei

Look. Look. I still like Batfam. I think it’s fun and interesting and I like fandoms where the fans are actively engaging with each other…. I also think they need their own goddamn tag and needs to stop intruding into the rest of DC and even just straight up comics Batfam. Fanon Batfam just needs to be rebranded and be its own thing because if it is not its own thing, then I suffer trying to find literally anything DC that is not Batfam-centric. Y’all are fucking insufferable and need to keep your echo chamber contained.
Let me read fanfics based on the canon characterizations.
#personal#dc#anti batfam#thank god for the JLI#they’ve been spared for the most part from batfam fanon#i literally just filtered out the past four years of Batfam fanfics#and I just read stuff from before because it’s unlikely to be tainted by WFA#sometimes I also filter out YJ because I also blame it for fanon#I LIKE GOOD DAD BATMAN OKAY#THE PROBLEM IS THAT GOOD DAD BATMAN IS WHO HE SHOULD BE BUT NOT WHO HE IS#like the ideal Batman is hope idealized in the dark#a spotlight in a polluted night sky#that’s BATMAN#he should be able to hold a child’s hand and be kind#but instead the comics give us this fuckass sigma male#annoying that the cartoons capture Batman better than his comics#but it’s also the cartoons that influence fanon most right after WFA#Target demographics and all that jazz#BRUCE WAYNE SHOULD BE A GOOD DAD#BUT I CANT HAVE GOOD DAD BRUCE AND ALSO EMOTIONALLY COMPLICATED EVERYONE ELSE#I want to get into literally all of the other big DC families#been meaning to check out super fam once I consume all Booster Gold content

actually making my tags from my last post into their own post. writers who struggle with grammar, spelling, typos, errors etc i love you. writers who struggle with rereading their stuff thoroughly no matter how much they try, who don't always have access to other people to help them read i love you. whilst reading through and checking for these things is good practice i really believe that the weight of it should not be put wholly on the writer's shoulders. especially writers who are neurodivergent, disabled, have any condition that can impede their reading + comprehension, are overworked and overtired, are not writing in their native language, list goes on....because grammar mistakes/language mistakes/typos have nothing to do with your abilities as a creative. this is where editors should be uplifting writers, helping them, not scrutinising them for something they cannot always control
#and in case anyone is going to say it...like i said in my tags i get that it can be frustrating#if it feels like a piece has NOT been reread or checked for these things at all#but even then its like...do you know the writers context? their background?#does the story itself still hold up strong creatively?#im just saying some leniency and grace goes far and esp in the short story/litmag scene i think#an editor who is considerate and inclusive should not use those things against a piece's worth#for me its like....1) the word spelling and grammar check is really confusing to work with sometimes#and also just. straight up does not work sometimes#and 2) no matter how much i reread and check for spelling and grammar i will forget a word. i will misuse a word. i will forget things#a bitch is forgetful! a bitch struggles with rereading their pieces and i do what i can to help that#but i need help and grace from the editors who wish to work with me!#i remember one time i wrote vacancy as vanacy in an excerpt in a writing update#literally passed me by and i was so humiliated?? nobody even pointed it out#but i assumed people were going to think of me less that i would make a simple mistake#its just...v hard and daunting being open with your writing sometimes lol lets all be kind to each other

it's been a strange arc so far
when I was 19-21 and having an extremely imbalanced relationship with someone in their mid 30s I was like 'we are both adults so the fact that this is fucking me up is my fault'
when I hit my late 20s and saw how young people in their late teens and early 20s seem now I was like 'oh wait I was so fucking young I didn't know shit about my own limits or about managing relationships and I don't know why someone in their mid to late 30s would be into that except for nefarious purposes'
the weird bit is now I'm into my 30s - not even that far into my 30s - and while I still wholeheartedly believe that last thing about how young (and self destructive) 20 year olds are, I'm also kind of like 'huh, actually nobody I know that age has their shit remotely together and frankly the reason this fucked me up is because NEITHER of us knew what the fuck we were doing it how to cope, for different reasons and at different life stages, and there probably wasn't any malice or intent to control as much as there was Blind Flailing.'
#red said#this is about one specific relationship btw.#wanted to clarify that because there have been several men over 30 who fucked me up between the ages of 16 and 21#and i adamently do NOT want to keep pretending that was incompetence. that was predation. sometimes incompetent predation.#but with the person I'm thinking of? she really hurt me and the age gap and difference in life stage was a not insubstantial factor#but mostly she was just spiralling out really badly and i offered her something to hold and she did try to keep things balanced and safe#but she was very off balance at the time. so the fucking up was more that than it was about power or control#we were just both very stupid and very sensible at the same time which is a great way to dig yourselves deeper#and idk I'm like 2 or 3? years younger than she was when we met iirc#and the closer i get to her age the more I'm like yeah you know that's a human reaction. i can see how that happens.#and i kind of feel bad for the amount of bitterness I've held and malice I've ascribed because ultimately#i think it was just two people having different crises trying and failing to figure out boundaries around them#but this has come on really suddenly and it's kind of fucking me up as well#cause I'm frightened of falling back into patterns of oh it's never anyone else's fault that i got hurt#but i don't. thiiiiink so? bc it's really only this one thing. i am not making these excuses for other people.#idk. sometimes people just fuck each other up.#I'm not even sure i think it was a bad thing that it happened. a lot of bad happened but we also catalyzed a lot of change in each other.#i feel like the reason i keep picking at this is that it's complicated. it was not good. it was good.#she really fucked me up and she was a terrible friend to me at times. but she was also the first person to really look after me.#and she kind of helped me start to learn how to need other people. which was good.#when my grandma died she wrapped me in a blanket and cancelled her plans to watch TV on the couch with me#even though she barely knew me at that point#and she was one of the first people to consistently ask for consent and check in. and she did genuinely care about me.#but she also truly fucked me over a couple of times.#but mostly that was just because she was buried in a pit of despair and self loathing.#she seems a lot happier now. i hope she is. i don't know if i want to know her particularly but i think if she's happy she'd be nice to know

it's me and all the women in literature described in despondent unhappiness in a marriage that they don't hate but don't enjoy as they should and who feel as if they're not the way a woman should be and who yearn to be free of their husband and children not because they despise them but because they're not for a husband and children and who can't say that they're miserable but who feel a numb kind of despair in all that disconnectedness and disconnectedness and disconnectedness. they are just like me for real
#we have the same kind of depression 👍 but also. i can see so clearly that that's the way i would be if i still thought i was a girl.#and i had grown up to get married to someone and tried to be a woman and a mother like that. god...#edna pontellier hold on. i'm going out into the sea with you. we'll drown together.#laura brown from the hours on my kin list 👍#need to reread the hours so bad. opened up my copy of it to check if laura had killed herself at the end or not for this post#and just skimming the last few chapters made me tear up. god. but there are still the hours aren't there? one and then another...#and then you get through that one and then my god there's another...#um. books that make you go 'okay so maybe i have wanted to kill myself a little bit all these years. but maybe i'm going to be okay'#the book ever honestly it is Everything to me#and kate chopin's the awakening is good as well. much to be said about the depiction of people of color in that novel#but the depiction of edna pontellier's mental state is so. ough.#glances at the ratings on goodreads nd stuff have made me so irritated.#god forbid a woman commit the ultimate selfish sin of leaving her children behind because she's so miserable by killing herself.#because far worse than the thought that she could be losing all her personhood moment by moment#and wasting her life away feeling like a shell of a person#pales. in comparison to the thought that she could POSSIBLY abandon the children she didn't really want to have.#of course it's a bad situation for the kids. sorry to raoul and etienne. but they will survive.#condemning the main character for having the audacity to go off and die... sickening. i hate people#valentine notes

This year I’ve gotten more over my fear of wasps than literally the entirety of the other 12 years since I first started being terrified of them
#waiting for the bus holding a to go meal in my hand#wasp landed on my hand several times and I was uneasy but also#it was so light and small and just kinda#walked over my hand checking out the smell of the food I assume#dare I say. kind of cute#idk I’ve just spent a lot of my life with a genuine phobia of wasps and bees#so it feels nice that I’m not scared shitless of them anymore#they’re just little guys#shut up me

so! i went down a rabbit hole of fake ds games, and found out that my copy of apollo justice is a fake! so. here ill compare it to my legit copy of pw:aa, and maybe this'll help someone out there?
first off: the labels. notice how AJ looks kind of. linty? the label itself feels smooth but it looks... dirty.
the bottom left corner of the label is also way too round compared to PW, and any other ds game for that matter.
the printing of the label also makes the gradient hard to tell apart from the white border at the bottom.
finally, the ESRB rating. if you look closely, the T on AJ is a bit too tall, and a bit too skinny.
now onto the backs, this is where the most obvious difference is.
here they are next to each other, and two individual pictures for you to zoom in on some more. PW is on the left, AJ on the right.
if you look closely, the fonts used are completely different!! on PW, the dot over the i in nintendo is a square, and the o has thinner lines on the inside. this is how the logo is supposed to look. on AJ, the font is a little different, and the dot over the i is a circle as well as the o being evenly round.
also, below the logo, where it says NAT-005 PAT PEND. , the font on AJ is a little different again. just like the T on the ESRB rating, the font is a little too tall, and a little too skinny.
heres a comparison between my fake cart and a real one (picture of the real one is from Zenzero_69_69 on reddit)
my copy of apollo justice did come from ebay, and was a gift from my mom, so unfortunately she probably didnt realize it was a fake but alas. luckily for a game like ace attorney, the game doesnt corrupt or anything, so while the cart may be fake, the game itself is perfectly fine. ive never noticed anything wrong in the 2~ish years ive had it. though if a game being legit matters to you i hope this was helpful in determining a real vs fake copy. be careful of fakes out there!!
#ace attorney#i think this is my only fake ds game.. i decided to check bc i recently bought a new ds game and wanted to figure out if it was fake#i ended up looking at my other ds cartridges and oops! aj:aa is a fake!#this is honestly kind of funny. i had no fucking clue this thing wasnt real#though looking back. it did arrive in a plastic case that only holds one game which... seems to be typical of fakes#oh well. i dont think my mom couldve known this thing was fake. she probably just thought it was a good price#it works perfectly fine at least lmao

Would love to read more Thenamesh Pokémon AU! Liked it very much?
Maybe Gil and Thena fighting against a few poachers to protect the Pokémon Gil rescued? And then some cute fluff in th end? :D
"Good work, buddy," Gil smiled, patting Dragonite's arm as it unloaded another few pokemon rescued from nets and traps. The anxious Oddish and Budew bounced down to the ground and hopped around each other. Gil knelt down to them. "I'm glad you're all safe. We have a few supplies with us, and the Chansey will check you out and make sure you're not hurt, okay?"
The grass pokemon gave him a look before moving as a group towards the friendly seeming pink pokemon waiting for them.
Dragonite leaned down to Gil, booping him with his snoot.
"Of course I am," Gil sighed, scribbling on his tablet about their new head count.
Thena was out there - with Teddiursa - battling.
She had volunteered of course, after hearing that some poachers had escaped them from last month. And they weren't in a position to say no to help from one of the best battlers in the region.
Teddiursa had come simply because he was still too young to be left home alone and too anxious to be left at the ranger centre without her for so long.
Even after being with her for a month, the little mama's-boy still preferred to be attached to her when at all possible. It wasn't so surprising, though--normal type pokemon tended to bond very deeply with their caretakers. And for all she said she discouraged it, he had yet to see Thena leave the house without Teddiursa at least seated in the hood of her coat (if not cradled in her arms like a baby).
Dragonite patted Gil's shoulder with a reassuring smile.
"You're right," Gil blew out an anxious breath, adjusting his hat on his head. "I'm just...being paranoid."
"Hey, boss," another ranger called over to him. "We've got a report of another trap getting set off at the base of the mountain!"
"Dragonite!" Gil responded immediately, climbing onto the dragon type's back and flying off the cliff and towards the mountain base. The caves were deep and extensive, but Thena had offered to keep an eye on the bottom entrance, knowing that it would be the easiest route for them to use. "Please, bud, we've gotta hurry!"
Dragonite took a nosedive, flying down to the valley floor at a dangerous angle of descent. He pulled up at the last possible second, flaring his wings out and looping around, even having to run a little as they landed.
Gil leapt off his back, running into the cave at full speed. "Thena!"
"Ursa!"
Gil's blood ran cold as he saw a very familiar head of ears and a pom-pom tail running out of the cave towards him. He leaned down, receiving the little cub in his arms. "What happened?!"
"T-T-Ted-Teddi--"
"Okay, okay," Gil held up a hand, encouraging Teddiursa to take deep breaths with him. The little bear did his best, filling its tiny lungs and keeping its tears at bay. "Buddy, just look at me. Where is Thena?"
The little cub pokemon began at the beginning as Gil took off running again. It told him all about how Thena was patrolling the caves when the ceiling opened up and nets came down. They got a bunch of the Quagsire in the shallow ponds, as well as Thena.
She had taken Teddiursa out of her hood and pushed him through one of the wider loops of the net, insisting he go and get help instead of being caught with her.
"It's okay," Gil reassured the little guy, who was now fully crying as he recounted the sight of his Mama being dragged away from him by bad guys. And that was overlooking the fact that he had relived the landslide that had separated him from his Ursaring pack in the first place.
"Ursa!"
"I know, I'm worried about her too, bud," Gil patted the little bear's head, snuggled into his vest as he ran. "Don't worry, Mama's gonna be just fine."
"Ted!" the little bear nodded, doing away with his tears with their rescue mission in mind. He looked up at Gil, "Teddiursa?"
Well, no, he didn't have pokemon to battle with. He had very little experience with battling, really, having always known he was going to be a pokemon ranger. It just suited him more to be in pokemon care and conservation as opposed to traditional training.
Thena was made for pokemon battling.
She was so strong, and she bonded so deeply with the pokemon in her care. They were an amazing team. She was smart, resourceful, she knew the ups and downs of every pokemon's type and strengths and weaknesses.
"Teddi," Gil breathed deeply, running through the burn in his lungs. "Does she have Gallade with her?"
Teddiursa's eyes sparked at the name of the pokemon it had quickly come to see as an older brother. "Teddi!"
Gil felt a little reassured by that, at least. Thena's partner pokemon was just as strong and just as temperamental as she was. Even if he was in a pokeball, he would know Thena was in danger and fight to protect her.
"Please!" Gil shouted to a Luxray running on a ridge above them. He raised up his badge, "I need your help! My friend-!"
The electric type looked down at them, eyeing them with its intimidating eyes, black fur bristling.
"She got taken by the poachers!" Gil continued to plead with the wild pokemon, which had at least leapt down to come closer to them. "I have to save her. Just give me a ride--you don't have to stick around to fight them with me."
"Lux!"
Teddiursa laughed with excitement as Gil jumped onto the back of the Gleam Eyes pokemon. Gil put a hand on his vest, inside which Teddiursa was snuggled. It raised a paw, pointing with its claw. "Teddiursa!"
"Thena!"
Thena and Gallade were backed up against a wall, in front of the wild Quagsire, both of them with their fists raised. Of course Thena would fight a pokemon poacher with her bare hands, if need be. She and Gallade were ride or die, and had been since he was a shy little ralts.
"Thena!" Gil called out, hoping to offer his help before she started trying to fight a Golbat with her own fists.
"Who the hell-?!"
Gil jumped off Luxray's back as it slid over to them. It did stick around, for which Gil was thankful. It snapped its teeth and crackled with electricity, making the poachers' Golbat a little more wary of them.
"Teddi!"
Thena's eyes went wide with relief as her little bear leapt from Gil's vest into her arms. She spun him around in her arms, holding his head under her chin with his ears brushing against her cheeks. "Oh, thank Arceus you're okay!"
"Teddiursa!" the little bear nuzzled against her. He looked up at Gallade, "ted?"
"Gallade," the fighting/psychic type patted the little bear's head, congratulating him on the job well done.
"Golbat, get us that cub!"
Oh, that was not how this was going to work. Gil held out a hand in front of Thena and Teddiursa. Gallade bent his taller form over them.
"Luxray, thunder fang 'em!"
Gil really did owe the wild pokemon a debt of gratitude. It had really come to his aid, and now really was battling with him. The lynx pokemon leapt into the air, easily sinking its teeth into the Golbats' wings, surging with electricity and making them plummet to the cave ground.
"Let's get outta here!"
"Paralyze them!" Gil pointed, sending the assisting pokemon after them. Its speed spoke for itself, catching the three male poachers and freezing them on the spot with a painful - but non-lethal - dose of static. It wandered back to him more slowly. Gil removed his hat, bowing his head to the pokemon in respect. "Thank you, for helping me save my family."
Perhaps with a family of its own to care for, the pokemon acknowledged Gil in return, before heading deeper into the cave again.
Gil turned, breathing out a sigh of relief as he pulled Thena and Teddiursa into his embrace. He buried his nose against Thena's sunshine hair. "You're okay."
Gallade patted Gil's shoulder, still holding onto its trainer.
Thena laughed faintly as she tried to pull back, only for Gil to wrap his arms around her waist and press his forehead to hers. She could feel the sweat there, and the brim of his hat getting tipped up against her head. "Gil, it's okay. Everyone's okay."
"Ursa," Teddiursa offered in comfort as well, reaching up from Thena's embrace to pat Gil's cheek with his paw.
"Okay," he sniffed, trying to get a hold of himself. Even with Dragonite having gone back to the other rangers, he still had a job to do. "Okay--you're right, w-we should go."
"Gallade," Thena asked with a frown, "could you carry them back with us?"
"Gal," he nodded, knowing that he was the strongest for the job, even with Gil here now. It walked over to the static-y poachers, loading them both up on one of its shoulders.
Thena leaned down to the huddle of terrified Quagsire, just now removing their flippers(?) from their eyes. "You should head into the sub-basement of the caves until this all blows over. Stick together and be careful."
The amphibious pokemon all nodded to her before scurrying off, their tails dragging on the damp cave floors. Gil reached out for her hand. "Let's go."
She nodded, prepared for him to let go of her hand over the course of the long walk back out of the caves. But he never did. She looked down at their joined hands and then up at him.
Gil could feel her looking at him but didn't let go. If anything, he tightened his fingers around hers. "I'm not letting go...not yet."
Thena looked down at the cave floor, smiling into her coat collar and feeling the weight of Teddiursa in her hood. Her cheeks warmed as he threaded their fingers together. "Okay."
Gallade rolled its eyes at them.
#Thenamesh Pokemon AU#I love that you love this anon#because I love it too#Gil to the rescue!#because being a pokemon conservationist is cool!!!#and also if anything is going to make him leap into action#it's Thena#and also Teddiursa#their son#Gil who denies that she's his girlfriend and that they're co-parenting a baby pokemon together#also Gil#my wife and son need me Dragonite let's fly#we are going to break the flying speed limit#Gil walks back with Thena's hand in his the entire time#and she's kind of flustered but that doesn't mean she wants to stop holding hands#and Gil keeps her close the entire rest of the mission#they're like Thena we need you to check out the swamps#Gil is like I'm going too#they're like boss we need you here#no I am not leaving her side#platonically#poor Gallade#right in front of his salad
