And if you want an actual question: what exactly is Skylanders? You post about it frequently, but only serve to vex me further each time.

I'll get to your first ask soon I need to go off about this

Skylanders is a toys to life game from 2011-2016!! Toys To Life is a genre that's died out but basically it means using physical toys to interact with the digital game world. In this case Skylanders uses figurines of the characters called.... Skylanders.. And placing them on the "portal" allows you to play as them!!

The skylanders themselves have things called NFC chips inside them that store data about what character they are and the progress you made with them. So you aren't just using a copy of some specific character, your skylander is truly yours. The upgrades, money, and cosmetics you give them are saved on them forever unless you actively choose to reset them.

^^Not an actual skylander character. This item is called a creation crystal! I'll get to that later!

Over it's run skylanders has made at least 175 unique skylanders characters. Each character coming with their own special animations, personality, and back story. This isn't including any of the gimmick items that could also be used on the portal like the creation crystal from above.

Each game came with a unique gimmick that introduced new skylanders that could do special things in game!

Spyros adventure - the first installment. No special gimmick yet, at this point the entire gimmick WAS the toys to life gameplay

Giants - the Giants!! Characters that were VERY big and could do "feats of strength" and other special actions in game

Swap force - characters that could swap their top and bottom halves to combine and mix abilities

Trap team - introduced traptanium crystals!! A neat idea, you could use a physical crystal item to capture special enemies and use them to fight for you in game! What was cool about these is that they really tried to sell the immersion of the villains being inside the crystals you trapped them in by having the crystal on the portal occasionally glow and talk. It also functioned similarly to a skylander in that the game remembers what crystals you used to capture what villains. Or more specifically the chip inside the crystal itself stores that information

Superchargers - THEY HAVE CARS NOW. Also this game had incredible writing for absolutely no reason what

Imaginators - whatever!!! Make your own skylander!!! That's what the creation crystals are for! To store your custom made skylanders! The character customization is actually pretty good. Also the sensies but all they really do is unlock stuff for you lol

As for the actual gameplay it's a platforming beat em up with puzzle elements, every installment mixes up the gameplay a decent bit though, especially superchargers which focused a lot on it's vehicles. In the end they're still kids games so they aren't SUPER challenging and the story isn't too complex but they're enjoyable nonetheless.

I think one of the biggest appeals of playing is how important the game makes you feel. Like, skylanders tries to make itself as immersive as it can be. There's a canonical explanation for why the skylanders are in your possession and in the form of figures. The player themselves is canon to the story and is referred to as a Portal Master. Essentially, only you can command the skylanders and everyone's lives are counting on you. If that doesn't inflate your ego enough one of the first things that happens in the first game is a major NPC calling out to you like a god. Very good for a 9 year olds self confidence

The overall vibe of skylanders is very goofy and whimsical but it has its more serious action moments too. Skylanders is all about character, I think. Both the skylanders themselves and the NPCs. There's not many characters I can really say I don't like. The lore is surprisingly intricate... Though it also has it's goofy moments.. Like the ancient race of sapient robots having all of its moral members being killed by exploding volleyballs. I don't care who you are that's top quality writing.

Skylanders is very important to me, it was one of my first full video game experiences and it's influenced my art a lot. Not to mention my um... Collection..

Still trying to complete it!!

But anyhow, this game means the world to me. I love having other people I can share that love with, :) I wish the game was more accessible nowadays but I've heard there's some functional emulators!

I.. Wow I really fucking went off here.. Hm.. I guess that counts for your first ask too lmao, I hope this was legible!

[pikechris]

people are sometimes surprised when I say that I actually like my job in a service station deli. well first of all this is ireland, 98% of customer interactions are polite and pleasant and the worst thing that can happen to me personally is when we get a bus full of teenagers who want chicken fillet rolls. or even worse, two in one day. happened this tuesday. but also i've found that it's actually perfect for my autism/adhd brain because:

I do the same things every day. there are tasks that have to be done every day and tasks that have to be done every week on a specific day. perfect. it's the thing others complain about the most, but me? just how I prefer it

constantly moving and doing something is what keeps me stimulated and staves off boredom aka the worst feeling ever. it gets pretty busy sometimes, which, ideal! I haven't had to touch a stim toy for MONTHS because I put all that excess energy to violently scrubbing dishes

I'm honestly the perfect employee because when I happen to have nothing to do I look for things to clean and tidy and shit and if that doesn't help I ask the manager for extra tasks to keep those hands occupied lol

re: previous point. I'm Fast so I always do everything that needs to be done, too. mostly because my brain takes the rules seriously and when the paperwork says I have to do something. well then I'll bloody well do it won't I. it says it right there. they like me because they know I'm reliable unlike the students who do weekends and even exceed expectations sometimes hah

clear instructions, love em. here I always know what to do and how to do it

the customer interactions follow a similar pattern and are almost always the same so I know what to say and ask and it's not stressful

sometimes people ask me where to find things and such and I Iove a) knowing things and being somebody who knows them and b) telling people about something I know, so it doesn't bother me

there's a whole bunch of safety compliance paperwork tasks like taking temperatures of food every hour that everyone finds annoying. but I love numbers and measuring things and statistics!! it's like ooh I wonder what's the temperature of this soup?? and then I stick a probe in there and find out and write it down! neat. tracking how quickly things cool down in the hot counter is entertaining

there's always 50 things to do at once. I will start 10 at a time. it works out fine. I can check the task list to see if I did it and tick it off. adhd kept in check ✓

others repeat the customers' orders to them to make sure they're getting it right so when I do it because echolalia & needing it to process the information, it goes unnoticed!!

I hate silence so the constant noise of the ovens and the radio and such are a good background noise. plus no one minds when I sing along to the radio as a stim because everyone does it, which is also why I feel safe enough to do so in the first place

no seriously doing stuff gives me energy, so I'm not tired after an 8.5 hour shift (this is even an observation others have made) and still can do the shopping, cook dinner, cook lunch for next day and be busy until midnight. something I couldn't do when studying, which was an energy drainer. huh

(I haven't had this much energy and motivation to do things since I was a CHILD. I'm not joking. I also haven't had a shutdown or anxiety attack or even a bad day in ages since I moved and started working. lying in bed depressed and feeling like I can't breathe? don't know her. also I can actually fall asleep immediately. my brain just shuts down. a feeling I haven't known for years. what is this magic)

I get to put things in the oven and make pizzas and bread and scones from scratch and generally do things I like and am good at and get paid for it! fuck yeah baking!!

I get to clean and put things in order and organise stock and the cold room and freezers and implement Systems and make things Full and GET PAID FOR IT

regular shifts 10-18, perfect, I don't have to get up too early either. allows for going to sleep at midnight and still getting the sweet eight hours

everybody is kind of doing their own thing most of the time and we're all busy so I'm not required to talk to my coworkers if I don't want to. but I can if I do. we all get along well. also good

sometimes I have an issue remembering how many fillings I put in that person's wrap if I wasn't paying that much attention but it's fine, if I charge them 40c less no one will know. there is no failing and no points deducted for a wrong answer. it's chill, no anxiety induced

I'm mostly on my own from 11:30ish until the end, the deli is my kingdom, I make the decisions, no one is in the way, I like it. I like it less when it's busy but I'm capable of handling it either way so eh *shrug*

i have a very good memory (when I do pay attention) so when there are regulars who order the same one or two things I remember them fast and now it's like. white wrap, peppers and plain chicken? and they're like. yeah!! :) I get to make someone happy with something so simple :)

sometimes people eat truly bizarre sandwiches and stuff and I get to internally laugh and/or wonder what the fuck is that. sometimes we actually do laugh about it after. it's fun

I'm also apparently the best new person they've ever had in this shop because I learn extremely fast so that's nice to hear lmao

i easily follow safety regulations such as wearing gloves at all times because dirty dishes and wet bits of food in the sink and raw meat and greasy utensils and sticky bread dough and the inside of the oven mitts are yucky to touch so that's another win-win for them and me

if not the company owner then at least the shop and deli managers are amazing. they will tell you to take any wastage you want without paying for it (because that is a stupid rule that exists that everyone thinks is nonsense and ignores. what's the difference if an out of date bag of crisps goes in the bin or is eaten?) just don't tell the boss, and will go out for drinks with you, and act like normal human beings who are a delight to work with

as a christmas bonus we all got a €50 one4all gift card which everyone thought was sort of shite and useless but are you kidding me? that means a free coffee machine. I got a free coffee machine with it. and a big discount on noise-cancelling wireless earbuds that are actually good and have a long battery life. amazing I'm telling you

yes we get the minimum wage but as someone who never worked or had much money I can live so well off of it? i can comfortably pay for rent and electricity and two grocery shoppings a week that aren't cheap, put a bunch aside, buy some treats online when I feel like it, go places every other week, and still have enough left. I flew to london in december just because. spent £130 on a concert ticket to the o2. I visit places that are a bit further away and stay a night or two once a month. I feel like I eat like a king when I have stuff like homemade bread with avocado spread, homemade cake, fresh strawberries and stuff for breakfast all the time. and that's just for cleaning and making sandwiches?? it sometimes feels unreal to me that I do it for money at all. it's like. housework. things I do anyway all the time at home. I have no reason to complain lol

anyway this is just how I personally feel :') but yeah I like working? who'd have thought. not me. I also feel like I'm the only one there who does. or anywhere really. because I'm so used to retail and service jobs being connected with annoyance and hate and doing them out of necessity etc etc... so I wanted to share that little bit of positive experience I guess. and needed to rant about it somewhere.

is it weird that working 42 hours a week in a shop improved my mental health? probably. but I also get it and can't believe I didn't figure it out earlier because. it's the moving lads. I'm in a constant state of busy. once I stop doing things and start lying in bed all day it goes downhill and the energy and motivation don't come back. but now? that's impossible. even on weekends. I can't put off the ironing because I need the uniform. I have to cook because I can't live on cheese toasties and the veg in the fridge is gonna go off if I don't use it. I have to travel because there's nothing to do in town except lying in bed all day. and once I make a Plan, not even the rain or having to get up at 6:30 to catch the morning bus stops me from following it. and I don't mean that in a stressful grind culture way, I mean it in a helpful actually-it's-pretty-slow-and-quiet way! I found a way of hacking the executive dysfunction completely by accident here and. it's a job

[doubleddenden]

Got Legends Arceus, been playing for about 4 hours now. Honest thoughts so far:

I like it so far.

Refreshing, different, a remix of various ideas and formulas brought up in the past and modified to work here. Honestly the catching premise is like Let's Go, only less annoying, quicker, and actually fun, and with actual battles, and not a soulless JUST FLING YOUR ARMS AROUND AND HOPE YOU CATCH IT mechanic.

Battles are quick, finding items and crafting is quick, you can now change nicknames and moves on the fly and have access to every move your Pokémon has learned to that point. In addition, tutoring moves is a lot easier to do, merely costing money you earn from missions and such.

Animations and graphics... mixed bag. The good out of the way, this is the best looking Pokémon game Game Freak has ever made- that doesn't mean there's not room for improvement, and this definitely does not include non GF games like New Snap or Pokken, but at least it doesn't look like a 3ds or mobile game anymore (now it looks like a Wii game lol).

Visually it's passable, but there's weird glitches in grass and flowers that are jarring and very noticeable. Pop in isn't as bad as SwSh was for Pokemon, but you can still see things pop in at random, like textures and shadows, and it's not a good look. It even happens to tree shadows behind you, very close by.

Move animations look great, though, it's weird to say that, but yeah, it's true. A lot of Pokémon look and behave a lot more naturally, even playfully, vs how they would look like lifeless, plastic toys with 2d texture faces before. Some models seem to have been improved too to add more depth and mouth flaps rather than gifs on round faces.

I can't tell about human models moving, though. In the 3DS and Switch games prior, it was very easy to see that models moved along in grids and recycled a TON of animation. Nothing too jarring just yet, still stiff in some areas, but it is improved, that much I can tell. I do wish the character was faster and that he didn't run weird though.

Music so far is pretty good, but it still sounds like they're using DS and 3DS sound fonts and instruments here and there, which to me doesn't sound as good as the normal music. But the music is good on some degree anyway and Jubilife Village especially is pretty soothing.

Character customization is... eh. Better than BDSP and LGPE, a smidgen less categories than SwSh, but a lot of variety per dress item and unlike usually, guys and girls have pretty evenly distributed clothes and hair styles and such. You unlock more as the game progresses, although I do wonder if it would be much more trouble to just add hair, eye, and skin tone customization right at the beginning instead of making it a shop feature.

Characters are... well, I like em. They still suffer from the usual "WOW YOU'RE SO GREAT YOU'RE SO TALENTED HERE LET ME GIVE YOU 50 ITEMS YOU BEAUTIFUL BABY" mentality, but I think it's been dialed back to feel less condescending. Granted there's still a bit too much ass kissing for my taste, but at least the characters aren't annoying and actually express and emote their personalities pretty well. The thing is too, the tutorials they force on you is a bit long, but it's needed, and each bit is done quickly. For once, I'm actually glad to have a catching tutorial. Plus when they give you items, you need em.

I will say too, it's refreshing to see some brutal honesty from some of the NPCs at first, not trusting you immediately. Things are appropriately dire and not nearly as sugar coated as usual too. Like they straight up say the word "die" a few times. Very refreshing, I'm appropriately afraid.

I'm not going to say they give you total freedom, but I was able to explore instead of having to go directly to the next mission. In fact, I saw an Alpha Snorlax during one of the opening bits. I avoided it because I don't want to die, but it felt cool knowing I didn't have an annoying asshole screaming at me to go left. It seems like each area is separated like a Monster Hunter game, which is fine and a step in the right direction, but in the future I'd just want it to be open world entirely.

Difficulty is pretty manageable. It's not hard, but it's not as easy as I thought either. Pokémon will do a lot more damage than you expect, and guess what? They will gang up on you. Battling is easy, it's the dodging and sneaking that takes practice, and managing your inventory while keeping your team healed up.

I know it's a lot just for an initial reaction, but honestly it's a lot to take in. Not quite seeing "best Pokémon game ever" material just yet, but it is already a contender for best Pokémon game for Switch, and I am still in the beginning.

I look forward to playing this game more

-His fandom is genuinely into him. Like they actually like him as a person but kinda once got into a scandal on gatekeeping

-Overall loved by the community due to how chill he is and how invested he is on fan theories

-He has a twitter btw and lemme tell you it’s just threads and threads of discussions

-Whenever he does stream unboxing videos though and he shows his shelves everyone freaks out how he has EVERY FUCKING VOLUME OF EVERY ANIME AND GAME

-Probably has a Ko-Fi because he though he needed it after most of the blogs he followed had it

-He thinks it should be “Table of Content” and not “Masterlist” so he uses just that

-Profile picture is him wearing his signature washed out green grandma sweater while he has a book in hand and a cup of earl grey on his table

-People go to him falling in love with his aesthetic and Book reviews but they stay in love with him because he is big on one on one discussions actually

-He goes for one on one voice calls where he just...He talks to you about any book of your choosing

-Fans send him tea but he knows better than to eat something a stranger gives so he makes beel take a taste first sometimes but ultimately scolds the boy when he takes too much

-Basically his fans started making dishes and candy inspired by him

-Sometimes they send it in and Simeon has to confiscate some because

-“Im sorry, guys. You are all really sweet and I know that you mean well but Luke isn’t allowed much sweets yet”

-No one ever EVER lewds luke

-Fortunately Luke’s fandom has the least amount of pedophiles because everyone drives them away the moment they try something

-Whenever luke does fan mail/unboxing videos people just adore how Simeon places a glass of water at the table below the camera and the scissors or cutter he uses is child proof

-Even though Luke is the main person on his account everyone also notices Simeon.

-How couldn’t they? He looked like he wanted to make everyone in the audience live a better life

-Add that with luke’s wholesome baking and BOOM! You are now ready for a better life🌟

-He films anything he can but he’s more known on tik tok and devilgram rather than twitch or youtube

-People have been thirsting for him ever since and no one can convince me that they dont just shamelessly call him daddy whenever he goes on live

-Barbatos makes sure however that whenever it isnt appropriate anymore that he would tell diavolo to turn the camera off

-Wranggled Luci into his mess and now everyone knows the face of that one dude who just reads documents

-Everyone lowkey ships them

-Diavolo is the type to take a picture of a big meeting or a retreat out of instinct to just document his life

-He actually didnt know about vloggers before but he just liked the thought of documenting it

-Everyone picks up “Master” vibes as they say from him hehehe

Taglist: No one yet (Please be part of the taglist for more content like this ☹️ It’s getting really discouraging)

[donobionic-sardonyx26]

( I wrote this based off where I work and stuff. Nothing specific but it does take place in Beach City. Just imagine some retail/grocery store in Beach City lol)

Balloons (a spinel x reader fic)

It was 3pm. The sky was a light blue, the air a nice breeze; not too cold, but not too warm, and the sun was shining lovely rays through it all. Sunny, autumn weather. The type of weather to jump in a pile of leaves, or go the fair with some friends. You could be out enjoying it all, however, you were trapped in this hell hole you called a job.

Well, hell-hole was a bit much. The job sucked, sure, but there was some good too it. You got things at a discount, people could bring in service animals or regular pets, so, that always brightened your day. And the job also allowed you to have a certain someone accompany you when you just weren’t able to leave her by herself.

Suddenly you heard a cat-call whistle from your right.

“Well, hello nurse~” the voice purred.

“Too bad I don’t see a price tag on you! I’d definitely take you home with me! Hold the receipt!”

You rolled your eyes at Spinel who leaned against your register, winking at you.

“Spinel, you see me everyday.” You tried to suppress your smile.

“And everyday feels like the first time~” The pink gem sighed lovingly leaning her head on the conveyer belt. It triggered the censor causing her head to move along with it before her head hit your register.

“Ow.”

You covered your mouth to hide your snicker.

This was one of the good parts about work. Since people in beach city seemed to be nicer than the average joe, your manager was more than understanding about your situation with Spinel. He allowed you off on some of her worsts days when she really couldn’t handle being home, but ultimately he allowed her to accompany you to work, just so long as you stayed focus and she didn’t cause too much trouble.

It was a nice deal. You and Spinel were able to enjoy each other’s company while you worked, and her being there was definitely entertaining.

You shook your head as you watched Spinel rub her head, pouting slightly.

“What just happened would be avoided if stood behind my register and not in line,” you said as you ran your hand through her hair.

“Well, you stand in line if you wanna buy something right?” Spinel smile at you.

“Oh, really, and just what do you wanna buy with my money?”

Spinel smile even wider as she handed you a little baggy of latex balloons.

You sighed mentally. Ever since Spinel learned your store blew up balloons with the helium tank reserved for it, she practically became obsessed. Ever since she first accompanied you to the store she would take a balloon with her every time you both left from your shift, which you would have to run back and immediately pay for.

She stopped soon after you explained that not could the apartment only house so many balloons, but also that buying a balloon everyday was starting to rack up in money.

But that didn’t mean her love of balloons ever ceased.

“You know I can’t blow these up with the helium tank, right? I can only do the ones on display.”

“I know! I just wanna try somethin’ with ‘em.”

You looked at her skeptically.

“It’s not bad I promise! Look, I have it all thought out, doll face!” Spinel waved her hands. “These have 15 in a pack, I can blow em up myself, and you can do so much more with these than the others!”

It’s not that you didn’t trust Spinel, it was more of the fact, trouble seemed to just find her. And even the most innocent tasks of buying her balloons made you second guess.

But the way she used those pink puppy dog eyes along with batting her eyelashes was enough to sway you into scanning the balloons and shoving your own debit card into the chip reader.

“Now move, you’re holding up my line.” You teased tossing the items to her.

After few minutes passed from you tending to other customers, you turned back to look at Spinel.

You watched as she happily tore open the plastic bag that held the balloons. She pulled out a long pink balloon and stretched it out before inhaling loudly and blowing into the latex. It stretched out and you realized that those weren’t regular latex balloons.

They were too long and none too circular.

Spinel tied the end of the balloon into a knot before slowly but carefully beginning to twist and turn the pink balloon in different knots before exclaiming:

“Ta-dah!!”

You blinked in amazement.

“It’s a bunny!” She explained handing it to you.

“I-I know what it is... since when could you make balloon animals? Did they have these at home world...?” You asked hesitantly.

“Oh no!” Spinel blew up another balloon next before using it to tap her chin.

“I think it was a couple of days ago. You were sleeping. I had one hand holding the phone and the other wrapped around you, of course,”

Your cheeks slightly flushed as she continued to talk.

“I was searching stuff like balloons and I saw that not only do so many different balloons exist but you can make em into stuff! Like this!” She showed you another balloon animal; another bunny, this time blue.

You gave her a bemused look as you took the second bunny.

“Got anymore tricks?” You asked.

She blew up another animal balloon, once more a bunny, but this time yellow.

“I may have only watched videos on how to make bunnies...” she admitted making you laugh.

She’s so cute in the easiest of ways...

“Well, thanks. Here, you can watch some more tutorials on my phone while I’m working. I’m not using it anyway.”

“Don’t mind if I do! Thanks, toots!” She smiled giving you a peck on the cheek before you turned back to your register.

You greeted the elderly customer who smiled back at you as she finished setting her groceries on the conveyor belt.

About three more customers passed. It was almost 3:40pm.

“Yes, almost quitting time.” You sighed stretching your arms over your head.

You were about to tell Spinel before another customer came up to your register.

A young lady, who looked pretty tired. You watched as she tried to stop her little girl in her shopping cart (around the years of 2 or 3) from hitting things on your register with a wooden spoon.

She looked at you apologetically but you just smiled and asked her how her day was going.

“Long.” She breathed out before making you both chuckle. She continued to place her items on the machine and you bagged them with speed, very eager to leave.

“Alright, your total is $32.50.” You told her. You watched as she pulled out her wallet before you noticed the toddler still holding the spoon.

“Did you get the spoon from here, ma’am?” You asked.

The lady looked up before looking back at her daughter. “Oh, yes, we did, I’m sorry. Sweetheart give the nice lady the spoon.”

“But... but I wan’ it.”

Here we go...

“She’ll give it right back sweetie, I promise!”

The toddler looked at you, and you internally cringed.

You could see it, the tiny hands balling into fists, the mistiness in her eyes, the frown along with the pink hue that formed on her face.

Here comes the tantrum.

The toddler kicked her legs as she started to scream, fresh tears streaming from her face. You were used to this, babies and tots just couldn’t comprehend the fact that you were just trying to do your job. You were used to the little pouts and glares you would receive, only to turn into smiles once you did, in fact, give the item back to them.

However, this kid was determined not to give you the spoon. Which wasn’t even a toy you might add.

If only you had the scanner gun like other store had.

“Hey, there, little lady! What’s the matta?” You heard Spinel ask from your right.

The girl stopped crying and hiccuped out a response.

“I wan’ the spoon...” she said before pouting at you. Somehow, you felt guilty.

“Well, here, hows about we do a trade? You give the nice lady here, the spoon and I’ll give you this!” Spinel smiles revealing a pink and yellow balloon flower.

“A pretty flower for a pretty gal, like yourself!”

The girl who had stars in her eyes all but thrusted her arm with the spoon at you before Spinel handed her the balloon. Quickly you scanned the item and handed it back to the little girl as the mother began to pay her total.

“There, see, now you have the flower AND the spoon!” Spinel booped her on the noise making her giggle.

“Now, what do we say?” The young mother looked at her daughter, gently.

“Tank you.” She smiled looking at you and then spinel.

The mother waved and gave a silent “thanks” as well before she strolled off with her cart of groceries and he daughter.

You quickly turned off your light before anymore crying kids could come up to your line.

“Wow, you’re better with human kids than me.” You turned back to the pink gem.

“Well, makin’ smiles was what I was made for! Though, It’s a little easier to make kids happy then the diamonds anyway.” She muttered rubbing the back of her head softy.

You took notice of the sadden look on her face.

“Well, with just one action you made three people happy. You made the little girl happy, her mom, and you made me very happy everyday. So, thank you.” You gave her a kiss on the nose.

“A-aw, gee, what are friends for?” She blushed, hands behind her back, moving her foot sheepishly.

You smiled. “C’mon. I gotta clock out in the back and then we can go home. We’ll Watch even more balloon animal tutorials.”

Spinel smiled as she grabbed your hand, the other holding on the balloons she bought.

“Sounds like a great way to spend the day, toots!”

End.

(Yeah, that’s all I got.)

“Tumblr Cultings” another Shitpost fic.

Hisoka is a ~~Tumblr Influencer~~ and decides to start drama. 1334 Words. 

fanfiction.net link

Click. Clack. Click. Hisokas nails tapped quickly against his phone screen. "Tonight it's going down. I have had e-nough of a certain person here, and all of you deserve to know who and why! ~ ♠️ " Post. He didn't have to wait long before the familiar pings and blops of instant messages and questions asked to his blog started.

Anonymous: Who is it?? (≧▽≦) So excited to see you tear someone a new one!! IM from cutiepanther: where do u even get your info from lol?. IM from chaineddown: I Thought You Were Done Creating Drama For Attention. 

Hisoka snickers to himself, lazily grabbing another whiteclaw from the fridge, before retreating to his bedroom desk. He takes a first sip of his drink while opening his laptop, and quickly going on tumblr.com once it has finished setting up. @Bubblegumbitch, 20.879 followers. 7.344 posts. 27 new asks, 7 new IMs. With a satisfied sigh, the popular blogger sets down his can, and cracks his knuckles.

YouTube Influencers make a lot of money through ad-revenue. Instagram influencers hold themselves over water with sponsorships. And though Hisoka did hold a platform on both of these as well, he preferred the more traditional customs of the blogging site. You don't get paid for having a lot of followers, or making popular posts, and sponsorships are almost entirely unheard of.  But he wasn't in it for the money anyway. The drama was far more alluring. Hisoka had made his starts as a "Tumblr influencer" through creating blog layouts, masterposts of custom themes, and the occasional "funny" post, which was usually just him vagueing about someone that pissed him off that day. His first call-out post he wrote at 7k followers, calling out a far bigger blogger than he is for stealing codes for their theme and for kinning a character from a TV show that has generally been frowned upon on Tumblr for being "atrocious and a bad influence". No one likes to admit it, but everyone loves a little drama, don't they? To see someone else's dirty laundry aired out, the relief that it isn't their own, the community effort of shutting someone out of their reigns for one simple post. A satisfied Huff escapes Hisoka as he dwells in this lovely memory. Time to make a new one.

"CALLOUT POST for @spidershead13 I can't believe I would ever have to do this for someone like him, but Chrollo has definitely pushed it too far~. Definitely don't harrass him, just unfollow and block his sorry ass!~ ♣️ ."

Excitiment starts to bubble under Hisokas skin. In truth, of course, Chrollo did nothing horribly wrong, nothing at least that Hisoka could proof. But everyone likes good drama between popular blogs that follow different themes. If this post could rile him up enough to write a callout post for Hisoka in return- Blop. IM from porcelaincat: Hisoka. Oh no, the fun police. Bubblegumbitch: Yeeeees?~ ♥️ Porcelaincat: Are you not too old to start petty fights online? Bubblegumbitch: OUCH. ♠️ Bubblegumbitch: I stay young at heart, dear.~ Porcelaincat: 1) Gross. 2). Who are you bullying this time? Bubblegumbitch: Chrollo @spiderhead13 :o) Porcelaincat: I am surprised, I honestly did not take you for that stupid. My fault.

Ouch. Illumi never cared if he was hurting feelings. Maybe he should write the call-out post about Hisoka. Though Hisoka doesn't have any viable dirt on him, not yet at least, not until he finds that porn blog that hes SURE Illumi has hidden away somewhere. Whatever, fuck that guy and his voice of reason. Hisoka takes another gulp of his whiteclaw, and goes back to typing.

"It has come to my attention, that multiple people have had the same unpleasant experience with Chrollo, something you cannot let slide so easily~." 

(Multiple people meaning one fake blog that he himself created to write himself IM messages "receipts".)

"In the following screenshots, one person tells me about how Chrollo tried to convince them to come visit him in Newyork and joins his 'church'! That's right, the guys a cult leader, trying to lure in more people from here!~ (Blogname in the Screenshots is blacked out for anonymitys sake ofc)."

Was he going too far, trying to convince everyone that Chrollo was a Cult leader probably out to harvest their organs? Or was he not going far enough

"Not sure what everyone was expecting of a goth blog like his, posting all that ~deep~ and ~brooding~ stuff, but pleeaaaseee stay clear of him now, don't let yourselves get pulled into some scary cult bs~ ♦️ .

#callout #calloutpost #internetbloodsports #cult. "

And post. Hisoka spins excitedly in his chair, self satisfied with his own hubris.  Immediately more blops and pings storm in. Anonymous: I knew chrollo was a weirdo, mayor bad vibes ಠωಠ Anonymous: thank you for talking about this, honestly scary!!!!! Spiderslegtostandon: What is your damage? Hisoka chuckles. Now only to wait for- IM from spidershead13: Hello. Chrollos timing was as usual, perfect. Bubblegumbitch: Why hello~~~~ ♠️ Spidershead13: I believe we need to talk about whatever that post was. Hisoka glances at the notes, a steady stream of likes and reblogs flowing in. Damage control is gonna be hard for the opposing side.

Bubblegumbitch: Sorry, I believe I'm just warning the people about you~. Didn't take you for such a dangerous guy :o( Spidershead13: Can you give me the @ of the person sending you those messages? Obviously they must have gotten something wrong. I'd never Invite just anyone to come over here, and I'd also never force my beliefs on anyone. Bubblegumbitch: Sorry, no can do. Who says you're not going to doxx em~. ♠️ I don't want to be responsible for putting someone in danger more than they already are~.

The influencer was now just leaning back in his chair, taking in a cool nights-breeze flowing in from the window. Was Chrollo mad? He's sure he'd want to punch him right now. What will he start Hisokas call-out with? Who would people believe more? It was all so exciting.

Spidershead13: Hisoka, this is nothing to joke about. I don't want to loose the trust of my community. I want to clear my name. Bubblegumbitch: if you can proof that I, or my informant has lied, I won't stop you from trying.~ ♣️ Spidershead13: Is this another childish game to you? Bubblegumbitch: A game? I take public safety extremely serious!~ :o(

No reply for 10 minutes. Hisoka bites his bottomlip, basking in the excitement of the unknown next moves of Chrollo. He was unpredictable, and thats what made him fun to toy with. If he was simply out to ruin someone's blogging experience, he could have cherry picked any one popular blog, dig long enough for dirt, and run them off the site in less than 2 hours. But that's predictable, that's normal, where's the fun in that?

Ping. Anonymous: Where's the Call-out?? Did you bitch out? Huh? Anonymous: did you delete the post? Was about to forward it to some friends who r mutuals with chrollo Pardon? Hisoka check his blog, and behold- The post is gone. Wooshed away, as the site itself would annoyingly proclaim. Did the site glitch out and delete it? Is it simply not displaying the post? 

Spidershead13: So you did fake those screenshots, I assume. The URL in your IMs leads to an empty blog with the same IP address as you Spidershead13: I did not take you for someone who'd stoop that low. Bubblegumbitch: Hahaha what did you DO?~ ♠️  ♠️ ♠️ ♠️ ♠️ Spidershead13: Had a friend of mine 'check' your blog. He was also nice enough to delete the post for you already.

Hisoka blinks. Once. Then twice. He's been hacked. This was going even better than he had anticipated. Quickly he screenshots the conversation, before hitting "New Textpost". " !!!I'VE BEEN HACKED BY @SPIDERSHEAD13!!!! [Screenshot] #callout #callout post #internbloodsports #hacker"

Post.

Ping. Blop. Blop. Blop. Ping. This was going to be a long, delicious night.

15x02: Raising Hell

Then:

Cousin Oliver’s Cousin Oliver makes his grand entrance, and we love him

Now:

The ghosts of Harlan, Kansas are contained, and most of the townsfolk are corralled in the high school 5 miles away. One daring resident, Nan, decides to check out things herself, and armed with nothing but her pashmina scarf, she scouts the town. Her neighbor, Rob, is there and, let me say, if he was that much of a weirdo in life, I would have moved across the country to get away from him. EEEk. 

*Gratuitous Buckleming Bullshit Alert*

Nan is stabbed repeatedly by the ghost possessing Rob. And then the ghost makes a spelling bee funny. 

And we laughed and laughed. 

At the high school, Cas worries that they’re benzine cover story isn’t going to last much longer. One woman already disappeared. Chief!Sam steps up and makes an inspiring speech to the frustrated townspeople.

It’s kinda awkward? I think Sam is nervous about leading (and it breaks me a little to think about the trauma that he’s processing when he made this decision to lead again.)  

FBI!Dean and Belphegor are patrolling the perimeter of the ghost circle. We learn that the ghost in the opening is Francis Tumblety, a.k.a. Jack the Ripper (*Boris puts on Sam Winchester nerd glasses*: No one actually knows who Jack the Ripper was, and he’s not “cool” Dean. Anyway, go read The Five, y’all.) 

Some vigilante townspeople decide to take matters in their own hands and make a plan to go back to their houses. 

*First Quarterly Meeting of the Harlan Ghosts Alert*

Francis Tumblety, President, opens the meeting with an announcement that they were all kicked out of Hell by God himself. Is it just me or did Hell make all these former people WAY dramatic, like they’re all taking part in a small town theater production? 

Two of the vigilantes sneak past the quarantine zone barrier and are almost immediately greeted by two ghosts. Wherps. 

Our favorite witch, Rowena, interrupts Sam and Cas arguing about how to handle the restless townsfolk. Rowena throws her usual love towards Castiel. I think Cas is getting used to it. (And way to deflect your real desire to just chit chat with Sam, Rowena.) Sam asks Rowena about building another soul bomb. They need something to collect the ghosts in.

Before too much flirting can happen, they’re interrupted. There’s a situation. 

Sam rushes to Dean and Belphegor. They’ve found the two possessed townspeople. Sam starts talking to them like they were just totes normal staring at them. Their eyes start bleeding black goo and our intrepid heroes realize they’re possessed. Francis Tumblety pops up and demands to be released. The people possessed are tortured from the inside --and Sam and Dean just stand there. Shoot the ghost, dudes! Make him go away! Ah, that’s for HERO Ketch to do instead! Yay, Ketch! (I feel dirty just writing those words as a joke, and will now burn both my computer and my fingers for typing them.) 

Back at the high school, the brothers discuss the AMAZING and COMPLETELY HELPFUL appearance of Ketch. Ugh. Rowena asks Sam for a Scotch (I mean, she says “Dear”, that’s Sam, right?) Ketch tries to set things right with the witch, but she “hasn’t forgotten” their past. (KILL HIM, QUEEN). 

Ketch learns that Jack is dead and now we’re Team Belphegor. It seems that Ketch has been tasked with assassinating Belphegor. Awkward. 

Meanwhile, in Reno, Amara’s living her best life. She’s getting a massage, when her derpy asshole brother makes an appearance. (Sidenote: I’m supposed to hate Chuck, but wtf? I can’t hate Rob! It’s physically impossible to not be charmed. Aagh. Oh, wait, he liked the ending to Game of Thrones. BURN HIM. But seriously, that’s some lovely shade, and it renews my faith that they’re going to stick the landing with Supernatural.) 

Cas has to handle customer service for a bit, and quite frankly, he’s a fucking saint. 

Rowena and Dean talk ingredients for her soul bomb spell, and Dean plays matchmaker for her and Sam! Specifically, he tells her to “find another boy toy” when she asks about Ketch, but she was just asking to learn what’s the best angle for killing him. Dean doesn’t know that though. Dean might be going through a messy break-up but he’s still making sure his brother is happy. 

*DEANCAS ALERT*

Cas finds Dean in a room. Cas makes an awkward sports reference (HE’S JUST TRYING TO FIT IN, DAMNIT --also, I like to think he’s trying to throw a little levity into their awkward exchanges.) Dean’s pretty mad, and I’m pretty sure I read a few dozen coda fics with this exact dialog last week, lol. Dean’s mad about everything --his whole life has been a lie. Cas bites back, angry about Chuck killing Jack, but he makes it clear to Dean that what they’ve done over the years isn’t a lie. 

Dean can’t believe they’ve ever had a choice in anything. Brb, crying in the corner. I’ll just leave this here for now:

Cas: Dean, you asked, “What about all of this is real?” We are.

(I can’t find it now but someone on sm compared this to “You idiot. You asshole..” and I am compromised.)

Later, Dean and Ketch walk the perimeter. Dean gives Ketch an iron chain to wear to keep ghosts away. They head to a Meat Packing warehouse, where the F in Dean’s FBI jacket disappears. Wherps. Ketch gets tossed around a bit, AND I’M HERE FOR THIS. Dean gets tossed a bit too so, no thank you. A voice tells the ghost to back off. KEVIN!

Dean tries to wrap his brain around Kevin, who was unfortunately sent to Hell instead of Heaven by good ol’ Chuck. Kevin reports that the barrier is fading, so they’re running out of time. He also boasts that he has a “bad boy rep” in Hell. You do you, I guess? 

Chuck continues to be THAT GUY, hanging out in Amara’s hotel room and channel surfing. She tries to do yoga. 

When he tries to convince her to jet off to another dimension, she refuses. “I am running a hot streak in craps. I like Reno. Everyone here is so not…you.” Amara senses that Chuck is…off. When she discovers his injured shoulder, she tells him that he’s weak and afraid. 

Sam and Dean (and bonus Belphegor) assess the state of the barrier. Belphegor insists that the Winchesters can’t just shuttle Kevin off to Heaven. Once he’s been in Hell, he’s destined to stay there. (Can I just say, we’re basing this all off the word of a hinky demon? So IS this really canon truth, is what I wanna know?) (Boris: That wasn’t true for Bobby?)

In Reno, Chuck touches his bullet wound and hisses in pain. Sam cries out at the same time. Oof, TIED TOGETHER. Sam lies to Dean and tells him that he’s feeling better. Dean does his best inquisitive face.

The ghosts, meanwhile, are still hanging out in their weirdly vanilla home base. I can’t believe nobody’s painted viscera on the walls yet! Other Colonel Sanders stalks around, grandstanding about the failing warding and their plan to attack the weak points. Kevin flashes in. Our dear Kevin tries to act tough, but gets bullied by a bigger…ghost. (Suggestion: a ghost’s power isn’t inherently proportional to their size in life, but to their intelligence and mastery of their ghosty powers.) But WHATEVER the big, bully ghost puts a halt to Kevin’s plan to infiltrate the group pretty much immediately. 

Rowena flirts (apparently, ugh) with Ketch while mixing potions in a science classroom. 

As much as I love and support Rowena and want her to GET SOME whenever she damn well pleases, I find Ketch to be a tool through and through. It’d be different if she wanted something from him but…alas. There they are. They flirt with awkward magic versus science innuendo. Ketch strips a plug and jolts her potion. (Boris and I wander off, our hands shielding our eyes in second-hand embarrassment.) 

 Rowena races through the neighborhood with her soul trapping bespelled crystal. Other Colonel Sanders zaps in. He once had a relationship (ReALly?) with her and is appalled that she’s working for the Winchesters now. Ketch pops up and shoots the ghost while Rowena runs off. As Ketch stares off in the distance feeling very smug, the ghost zaps in behind him and knocks him out.

The Winchesters head in to the very beige suburban home to talk to the ghosts. Other Colonel Sanders threatens to kill Kevin, then sticks his hand in Kevin and starts to suck away his soul. Um. Okay, is this a ghost power now? Or is that how demons are made? Rowena uses that moment to suck several ghosts into her crystal, but it’s not enough. She’ll have to catch them one by one, practically. Kevin tells them about the barrier-busting plan, and they head out to survey it. 

The ghosts manifest as little red balls of flame as they hit the barrier. Dean shoots at them like he’s playing a carnival game and is DESPERATE for the red cowboy hat at the top of the booth. Shooting them one by one is pretty fruitless, so Rowena’s called to the plate. Ketch escorts her to the front and I kinda want to punch him as he gestures for her to go ahead. Like, go eat a lemon and die, Ketch. 

Rowena lets loose her ghostbuster ray and starts sucking in ghosts (through…the barrier?) but Ketch knocks her out. It turns out, he’s ghost-possessed! Sweet Dean Bean’s out of salt rounds and Ketch has the crystal now. He boasts about its power and how it’ll be the most perfect thing to break the wall. Dean shoots Ketch, knocking the ghost out of him, and Rowena sucks ‘em in.

Later, Ketch is getting loaded up into an ambulance (glad to see these random first responders are helping out right at the border of this freak gas leak). Cas tells Sam quickly that he tried to heal Ketch, but failed. Ruh roh, Cas! 

Dean holds a conciliatory conversation with Ketch (to sad music) while Ketch gets hauled away. Ketch exchanges mournful glances with (EXHAUSTED SIGH) Rowena. Dodged a bullet there, Rowena. 

Dean and Sam bid farewell to Kevin, who believes Belphegor’s line about Heaven’s no admittance policy. Kevin’s going to wander the world as a restless spirit, rather than head back to Hell. Belphegor zaps the warding, opening up a door-sized hole for him to go through. See you soon, we hope! 

For Kevin Looks FINE Science:

Back with the gods, Amara heads out on her own. “I am willing to coexist with you, brother. …In the universe! Just not anywhere near you.” She tells him that he has little power against her now. Furthermore, he can’t leave the world without her help. “I’ve become the better me. And you are still the same. Petulant, narcissistic…” Amara is pleased that she’s been able to trap Chuck on the very world he’s trying to escape right now. 

At the barrier, souls continue to whir towards the weak point. Dun dun DUN!

These Quotes are Real:

A town full of ghosts? Messy even by Winchester standards.

Can you boys do nothing on your own.

We ran our own race. We made our own moves. And mostly we did well with that.

Dean, you asked, “What about all of this is real?” We are.

Turns out, God’s a dick.

I like soul catcher.

Nice to Meet You, Angel. || Demon!Joshua

Ft. Joshua/Jisoo(s Chri—actually no, the complete opposite)

Anon: Demon Joshua😏

A/N: This AU has gone through 4 whole plot rewrites rip. kinda inspired by Good Omens!! (also 2 aus in a week?? whaaaaaat)

!! This is a gender neutral!reader fluff with 1945 words~ !!

Before we begin the plot, lemme quickly go through the basics of the universe

yayy lin’s doing world building again

there are angels and demons in the universe, simply just the optional jobs of people’s souls once they die

if they choose this job, they don't remember much of their life on Earth, but they do remember events they associate w/strong emotions bc it helps them

for ex. an angel could remember how sad a death made them feel so they know to prevent it

and a demon can remember how angry a bully made them felt so they can make people that level angry

both angels & demons take the form of their bodies when they were alive and roam on Earth

they can also return to Heaven/Hell and observe Earth from their respective realms

also yes demons can be summoned, but lmao you can also just give em a phone call via incantation

the angel equivalent to this phone call is praying

demons can pretty much do anything as long as it relates somehow to the Seven Deadly Sins (pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, sloth)

angel powers are more holy/good, and they can grant things in prayers if they choose, etc

Anyway, YOU KNOW THIS BOI??

THiS bOi sHUa

he's chill af for a demon ok

one of the first demons so like no one really knows how he’s a demon bc he’s so polite

there’s some speculation that he was one of the first to fall but like

what the hell did he do???

But also some say he became a demon out of spite bc he saw a demon commit a “sin” that actually helped someone

so he became a demon just to help people in a more… unholy way

and then he was upset angels hated him just because he was a demon

like wow spirit discrimination

NOW YOU—

you are an angel (literally)

you’re the angel that protects like. atheists/"non-believers" bc c'mon just because they don’t believe in God/gods doesn’t mean they shouldn't have access to that protection service

(yes hello you’re calling APS, the Angel Protection Service sponsored by God, how may I help you?)

so yeah you’re pretty chill yourself since you have to constantly deal with people who don't believe in you lol

One fine day, you were listening to a prayer from a sick college student

ok it wasn't really a prayer but they were like "oh please, my god, let me get some sleep tonight"

you gladly put them to sleep and they slept soundly at night

when you checked on them the next morning, you noticed—

A dEmON?!?

…lying right next to the student (but above the covers, he has boundaries), who isn't stirring at all

if the leather jacket and ripped jeans didn't tip you off, he had some horns on his head to confirm ur suspicions

You: "Hey what in the world are you doing here?!"

???: "What? If they get up rn they won't be able to pay attention in class. I'm letting them rest first"

You: "Wha—who—okay, okay okay… who are you?"

"I’m Joshua, nice to meet you, angel"

Shua knows he has the name of an angel so afterwards he's like. Don't get it confused bish.

you ask him what he's doing, and basically, he's using the sin sloth on this sicko student so they stay in bed and recover instead of going to class

Even tho you feel iffy abt letting a demon affect a human right in front of you, an angel, you are a bit intrigued

you haven't seen a demon use their powers for good before…

who is this guy??

anyway he disappears, presumably to Hell, once the student needs to wake up

which is when u miracle them some bread to get

But don't worry, you're destined to meet again~

which you did, on several occasions

and ok maybe you were glad to talk to someone who was actually interesting

so, yknow,,, if another angel was like "hey y/n uhh there's a demon… bothering? someone? idk but it's a non-believer, that's ur jurisdiction right"

you had a guess on who this demon was…

…and you were right

Joshua: "Oh hey angel"

You: "Ew, you make it sound like a pet name"

JS: "Well I don't know your name, do I?"

You: "Oh. Right. It's Y/N."

he still calls you angel tho, smh that flirt

y'all just bicker and/or chat for a bit whenever u go help the same person

Like one time when he insisted that you let him use gluttony on a teen so they'd eat a lot of ice cream that day

they had just been through a bad break up so u let it slide

Or another time he used wrath on a timid kid so they could stand up to a bully

all of these ended w/you two bickering while walking away

There was this little girl you were watching from heaven who was writing a letter to "Whoever Can Do This"

little girl started listing a bunch of things, which you assumed were toys

but then you realized it was actually stuff like food, friends, a puppy, a loving dad who will go out to the park with her—

so u go down there to check on this lil child

…and that's when you see a familiar leather jacket watching over her and suggesting other things to write

you can’t see him from heaven so ur like gosh darn it I should’ve known

"Joshua?? I should've known it was—"

*cue both shua and the child turning around*

JS: "Oh hey, nice to see you, angel"

Lil' Nugget: *GASP* "Mr. Josh is this ur s/o???"

JS: "Hm? Oh, I mean, no, but um…"

You: "Josh what have u been putting into this one's head…"

Shua's all like "greed! Her dad's been ignoring her since her mom died so we're writing a list of things she wants"

then the smol girl smiles so wide and is like "Mr. Josh is helping me! He's my new friend!!"

ur like awww dangit ok I'll let it slide if u let me help

Once she finishes it, Josh hands the girl's list over to you

he explains quietly he wants you to miracle her dad to pay attention+love his daughter again so they can have/do all the other things on the list

you read it over again and do just that

The little girl gives the list to her father, your miracle allowing them to have a fun afternoon eating ice cream and playing with her toys

And you and Josh have a nice time too~

once y'all left that girl's room, he invited you for some soda

"Coke? I hope you mean Coca Cola"

"Yeah, uh, there's a place with a vending machine not too far from here. We can walk"

You don't spend time on Earth often, but you learn as you walk w/Josh that he "prefers the air up here"

mainly bc he doesn't fit in with the other demons, but he also just likes spending time with humans

(obviously tho he needs to go down to hell occasionally for like conferences and such)

you don't remember if you've ever been on a date before lol

Josh doesn't either, but he does remember how jumbled up ur emotions get, which he is not ready for

then again of course he has, I mean look at that charm

however, you can't remember if the feeling you get when going on ur little date with Shua is love :/

it isn’t really, but just bc this is ur first “date,” so it makes sense

But Josh makes sure to take you out again… for dinner!!!

you were investigating the use of lust and pride at the same time

of course, it was just Josh helping a guy find someone to hook up with

you were kinda disgusted and wanted to leave, so shua gladly took your arm and pulled you away to a restaurant!

y’all had a nice dinner, paying with some money Josh had collected

and then you went to walk together and chat some more

he’s breathtaking, and he actually wants to spend time with you despite y’all being on opposite sides of an inevitable war

You don’t care, going on more dates just to talk and not have to care about ur jobs and other stuff

Shua hears you yell “what the hell” at some point and he’s like woAH you can say that???

“Yeah. I mean, it’s not really polite, but I can. Can you say ‘Thank God?’”

“‘Thank God?’ Well look at that, I can. Good point”

you love him because he’s so chill and doesn’t give a f*** abt anything

except you and humans, apparently

like he could’ve burned or smth by saying “Thank God” or be confined to the basement of Hell for helping people/talking with you, but he doesn’t care lmao

However, no one really knows you’ve been talking with a demon tho so uhhh

when they do you get in a little bit of trouble w/the archangels

ur boss was essentially like “y/n what the HECK are you doing?!? you’re on thin ice rn”

you get mad at him, trying to defend Joshua

and you’re right in doing so, since he just wants to help people with a different set of powers

ur archangel boss sends you back down to Earth, saying you can’t return to Heaven until they work smth out

(they probably want to burn you with Hell fire)

You warn Josh, knowing they might burn you

he’s adamant on keeping you with him, so y’all try to hide or smth

which won’t work of course, but you can try, right?

right?

Shua and you sit together on a bench, with you leaning on his shoulder

“Joshua… I’m scared, I don’t want to be burned!”

“Don’t worry y/n, it’ll be okay. I love you, angel, nothing bad will happen”

and just like that, you remember what it feels like to love

“You’re right. I love you too. Help the non-believers for me if I go, alright?”

“I’ll help them just for you.”

Your archangel boss is smart, knowing the worst punishment for you is to be reincarnated without memories

you wouldn’t remember Joshua at all

and when he drags u back up to Heaven, you want to cry

do angels cry holy water? anyway

you’re sent back to Earth as a baby that can’t fend for itself

You remember nothing.

You’ve recently graduated from college and are out looking for a job

you’ve gotten rejected and fired so many times

for ex. just now, after you were arguing with someone who spoke another language that you didn’t know and there was no translator available

the customer wasn’t willing to cooperate either, ignoring your attempts to use an online translator smh

it’s late and you’re tired, so you leave, angry, and start coughing frantically when you inhale too much smoke coming from the alley next to you

naturally, you’re like “What the hell?! Dude, you’re not supposed to be smoking this close to an entrance!”

“Why do you care? You don’t work here anymore”

you take a better look at the stranger once he steps into the light of a nearby lamppost

it’s a dude in a leather jacket and ripped jeans who drops his cigarette

“Need help getting a job, y/n?”

“how do you—what—who are you?”

he extends a hand out to you, which you shake reluctantly

“I’m Joshua. Nice to meet you, angel.”

[sodasyrup]

I love,,,,, domestic lava au... You should do more of it. I'd love to know more about reka and monty too!

BWAAA...

Okay as I said it’s an au with kittie (6kuro) so I’m gonna grab the things it said and I said lmao

warning its a LONG disjointed post bc im too tired to make. a good post fdhghdf

lovelypeaches08/28/2019cole and kai would settle down real late like....in their late thirties because they want to keep their children as safe as possible, being elemental masters and having enemies and all

at first wu wants them to fight longer and shit but hes OLD so who cares and theres probably conflict on thatbut kai and cole are old enough to realized they dont have to be controlled

so they get married, symbolically if anything, because they've been dating for probably a little over a decade now and known each other even longer, AND been living together for the same amount of time

theyre the first of the ninja to settle down, and they buy a small house in a village thats maybe an hour away from ninjago city

the tininess of the house is made up for by the largeness of the yard, where cole likes to garden, especially fruits and vegetables

cole works as a stay at home free lance artist, doing stuff like commissions, book covers, comics, etc for moneykai does something that puts his charisma to use, probably something in business that lets him advertise and talk a lot..he could never settle down for a stay at home job or anything, even with all his thrilling ninja stories

they have enough money from donations and awards to thrive off these jobs, and ninjago probably pays them kind of like retirement

cole cooks for kai so he always has a meal ready when hes home, so then kai cooks on the weekend

anyways, they have two kids, about 3 years aparti haven't figured them much out yet, but kai and cole cook and bake with themcoles parenting style is very protective and rather spoils them, while kai lets them do whatever as long as its not immediately dangerousthey balance each other out well, so their kids grow up loved and well rounded

lovelypeaches08/28/2019coles always buying them sweets and treats and Kai pretends to be annoyed but thinks its really cute

the kids go to a small school on the outskirts of ninjago city, and get asked about their parents a LOT. they kind of like the attention but it gets irritating

moving on to the other ninja who also start to settle down,jay doesnt really want kids, so he passes on his powers with ~science~ or something, but only when hes a lot olderhe does engineering at borg industries or something, and he messes around a lot but gets away with it bc hes the blue ninjahes like kai and coles kids Fun Uncle, since he lives in a big apartment in downtown ninjago city, with a bunch of cool techkai and coles family often take elongated road trips therejay thinks hes a cool relative but besides being super lenient hea actually kind of embarrassing lol

nya settles down a bit later than the rest of them, because she wants to live her ninja days to the fullesti could go on about my domestic samurai au but her and pixal have a kid who gets nyas water powersnya is much more eager to train her kid than cole and Kai are (they want to start properly training thwir children when theyre like 16, much to wus disappointment)nya doesn't force anyrhing on her kid but she doesnt protect her kid from the fact they'll have to train sooner or latershes determined on still changing the world, so she's a strong political leader, with innovative ideas who doesnt approve of ninjagos government and wants to change it for the betterShe also lives in downtown, but isn't as fun as jayher kid is younger than kai and coles, but kai and coles kids look up to them because they're very independent and skilled! their mom is also super cool, but not in a silly way. she rocks leather jackets and drives her kid around on a motorcycle

lovelypeaches08/28/2019zane is tricky for me...i like to imagine him sticking with lloyd to being a ninja or whatever, since hes going to be alive a lonnggg timehe also wants to respect wus wishes, so he teaches students and fights alongside lloydhe does so much less however, and finds a lot of time to visit his friends

kai and coles kids are shy around him at first, him being a nindroid whose still a ninja, but hes so much nicer and softer than expectedhe always brings them presenrs and enjoys quality time with them, so he's basically their favorite uncle

now lloyd continues his master training, to become the next master after wu dies. hed be the one to guide the next generation of elemental masters as well as their parents in training thembut don't worry, he gets a break too, since the other ninja help him out. hes much less burdened then wu was in the later years of his lifeok thats all i think

My commentary now

little boy whos like 3 and super wide eyed and excited and loves pink (when he foudn out zane at one point had a pink gi he asked if he could get one too)older girl around 6 whos a big daddys girl and loves to garden with cole and make mud piez

the little girl is the fire em - she had temper issues linked to autismz which they worked through her with early and never thought of it but she has a big passion for gardening they mistook for elemental connection when rly she just LUVS IT

little boy is em of earth - hes a natural born leader and stubborn, wide eyed and excitable. again bc they worked w both their kids about their tempers and such they never realized he was just naturally good at keeping his composure. also a lot like jay keeping morals upnaturally strong but both their kids are and i hc the super strength doesnt come in until peubertyz

shes a bit of a late bloomer with em powers but one day their little boy accidentally makes a pot hole inside the kitchen bc he was excited over zane cookingthey took too good of care of their kids and his true potential was simple bc he was a litol kid which was im going to live my best fcuking life with friends and family *rips a hole in the ground

kai and cole are the gross sappy parents that trade kisses n their kids are like thats DISGUSTING youre DISGUSTINGLY IN LOVE

Kittie pointslovelypeaches08/28/2019YEAYEYAYAYYEYAYAYEoh god the little boy is part scenecorelikenot full on scene but like punk y2kwhich is a part of scenealso at first cole and kai are super concerned being a ninja will be as mentally damaging and ack as it was for them at times, but lloyd and zane are genuinely good mastersbutnot to get sadbutwhen tragedy does happen somehow, since neither Lloyd nor zane can ease that, cole and kai are so good at helping their kids e thatthey help them recover from it without downplaying their kids concerns and feelings amd give good advice and loveand make being elemental masters a lot easier for their kids than it ever was for them

me again.....

they always get so fucking scared thokai custom makes weapons for themarmor too he spends hours upon hours making sure its perfect and even prays over them to keep their kids safe

anyway when kai n cole visit w them (idk if theyr just adopted at their current age or like.... adopted as babies or surrogate or?? idk but) they visit lloyd and kai softly says "Look! its uncle lloyd" and lloyd starts SOBBING hes just fucking bawlinghis eyes out and when kai offers to for lloyd to hold him lloyds just like are you suure arre eyyuuu thherye so smsmm all kaiii are yoruur suureee thheyrey babbeises

nya is hesitant but ends up being a really good aunt, i meanshe took care of kai /j

zane is a fav uncle and hes always making sweets for them jay is. also sorta a fav bc where zane comes jay follows and jay has a sweet tooth and also makes Cool Toys + hey wanna prank your dadsalso im dramatic and likekai and cole sitting down and having a convo about master wubc he was sorta a shitty mentor and they really REALLY dont want their kids going through any self confident issues nor over stressing bc theyr KDISeventually kai and cole talk to master wu and actually has wu face his terrible practice towards kids and wu accepting he was.............................a bad 'parent' in a senseblebleblelelelelelellekai works but cole absolutely watches over any training when wu is there at first but lloyd is the master now and lloyd is like..........................i dont want kids to go through what i went through kai is like i trust you but also i will murder every single one of you in this dojo if you ever hurt my little girlim doing what i do and taking an au and running im sorry ghdghdfhJACK RAMBLES....their son refuses to wear shoes he lieks dirt on his feet they never really think much of it but its actually really comforting for him to feel the earth under his feet and feel stablethey think its just a stim thing maybe? theyr unsurebut! turns out him Element(also a fear of heights)lloyd tries to be a serious master but hes a big ol goof and can easily be manipulated

ironically.......its the lil boy who often is like HEY!!!!!!!!!!! WE GOTTA TRAIN!

kai and cole agree not to tell anyone what theyre thinking of naming their little boy until he arrives so when the day comes kais holding this tiny little boy and holds him out gentlyand lloyd is already EMOTIONAL because this is a BABY and lloyd softly asks his name n cole cuts in like "hes named after a really brave dude, montgomery. but we're thinking monty as a nickname"lloyd, choking up:(hc garmadons first name is montgomery)

the girl is Reka which means sweet in maori (a personal headcanon for cole) and shes their sweetheart

lovelypeaches09/04/2019bhrnrng this is in domestic au but col and kai teachign their kids instrumentscole and reka wud play piano duets togetherand monty doesnt like instruments much but he likes to singlike a LOT he belts out a song for everythinghe just lieks his own voice

Kingdom Hearts 3: Final Thoughts

Ok well not really final thoughts cause I’m sure I’ll be internally screaming over this game for the rest of time, but I figured I’d leave my thoughts about the game in a more... coherent manner than what my screaming during the liveblogging conveyed. And so, here we go with me basically talking about everything I liked, loved, and maybe wasn’t so ok with (cause the game wasn’t perfect lol) and yeah there will be spoilers aplenty so I’ll tuck it away under the cut cause I have a feelin this is gonna get long. So... here we go:

First I’ll start off wit the easy stuff, the presentation. By GOD is this game fucking beautiful to look out. All of the graphics are so crisp and clean and everything just BURSTS with color. Never before have the Disney worlds felt so alive in a KH game and now they’re JAMMED back with detail. I first noticed this while wandering around Galaxy Toys in the Toy Box and I gasped at just how many little minute details there were to be found, from price tags for toys, to sticky notes on bulletin boards, and so on. Every single place you visit in this game looks like its actually been lived in as opposed to just being another set piece. They were all so much fun to explore and I’ll go into detail about each Disney world at least later on. As for everything else, so much effort was put into just about EVERYTHING! From the ways environments are lit (Corona especially had some nice lighting effects, as did San Fransokyo), from enemy designs, to characters expressions oh god the expressions. KH games in the past tended to rely on stock expressions in some scenes because hey, its easy when ya don’t need to put your whole foot forward, I get it. But here? There are no stock facial expressions, everyone, everyone emotes in such vivid and realistic ways so that you can just see how characters are feeling/what they’re thinking just through their body language and expressions alone (Sora especially aslkdjasld I’ll go on about my son in a bit tho). In terms of other visual stuff, I LOVED how flashy this game could get in terms of attacks (Attraction Flow especially oh my god), some say it might have gone over the top, but to me, it just made me so excited to use everything I had in my arsenal just to see how things looked!

Next the music oh GOD the MUSIC. From the moment this game’s version of Dearly Beloved started playing I knew I was in for a DAMN pleasant listening experience. But what I loved even more was how this game went above and beyond with is score. Yeah ya have your basic level and battle background themes (my personal favs among those include Arendelle’s and Corona’s themes), but then most cutscenes are scored with individual little musical cues, almost like scenes right out of a movie instead of just the same theme playing on repeat in the background! That honestly added such a neat little touch to the game that I instantly noticed and loved IMMEDIATELY (this game also improved Sora’s theme SO much and used it a lot and I fucking LOVED that) and other returning songs were great too (Mysterious Tower’s theme is spectacular now, and even though they didn’t really change Hundred Acre Woods’ theme, they added more orchestration to it to make it sound even prettier!) And of course, don’t even get me started on Face My Fears and Don’t Think Twice, both of those are such AMAZING songs, probably my fav Utada songs out of the entire series (Don’t Think Twice especially lol) 

Next up, gameplay. So I kinda suck at KH games but honestly? I didn’t really have THAT hard of a time with this one. I played it in normal mode (cause I aint about to punish myself with proud mode alskdjalksdja) and I only started dying towards the end of the game and even then I didn’t die that much. But don’t get me wrong, the game isn’t stupidly easy either. The enemies will fuck you up if you’re not careful. I always made sure to reserve my magic to use cure like... fucking constantly because better safe than sorry! As for attacks, I favored using formchanges a lot because I always felt way more powerful with them (I beat the game using the BH6 keyblade imo that’s a good one) and Attraction Flow was also really useful and fun to use! Summons I... didn’t really use that much lol (same old story as other KH games) and team attacks I did use pretty much whenever they were offered to me (the ones with Disney companions were always a lot of fun!). Outside of battle, exploring in this game is SO much fun! Even aside from all the stuff to look at, there’s a lot to find! From ingredients (oh god the game wouldn’t fucking let me forget about ingredients), to hidden Mickeys (laskdjalskdjsad fuckin hell could never find any when the game outright told me there was one in front of me I’m stupid as hell), to the usual chests and whatnot, searching around was always a fun time (unless it was for fucking crabs, but we’ll get to that). Plus can I just say that I adore how smooth it is to control Sora in this game? Like seriously the boy actually runs at a decent pace for a change, his jump doesn’t feel like he’s wearing goddamn cement shoes, and the fucking tricks he can pull off with the whole running up walls and shit? fantastically fun to do. Special gameplay elements in the game were also usually always welcome, but I’ll get to those for each individual world when I go through em. 

But before I do that, I’ll briefly speak on all the extra stuff this game offers for you to do because by god is it packed with content. I didn’t really explore a ton of what it had to offer cause I wanted to beat the main story as quickly as I could, but what I did explore of it was a lot of fun! Cooking with Remy is adorable and even though I didn’t really use any of the dishes I cooked up I still had fun finding ingredients and doiing the little minigames for each dish. Hundred Acre Woods minigames were all kinda samey but tbh it was a fun game nonetheless. I only played one of the Classic Kingdom games but tbh next time I visit the game, I really do wanna try more of them, they’re super cute. The camera function was a delight askdjskd such a cute touch to add, taking selfies with Disney characters is my new favorite thing oh my god and... ugh guess I’ll talk about the Gummi ship here too... I never liked it in 1 or 2 but god they really fucked it up here imo. I know some might disagree with me on this, but by god this game could not get me to care about customizing my own ship. I pretty much kept with the basic ship the whole game, avoided every single enemy I could and mostly just bit the bullet so I could get to new worlds as quickly as possible. And most of the time I didn’t really mind it, UNTIL THE LAST GUMMI MISSION. The way the camera controls and the vertical and horizontal controls fuck each other up is so fucking stupid and trying to navigate that damn ship through tight and tiny corridors only for the camera to have a piss fit every time I so much as skiff by a wall made me so fucking mad why did they do this the rest of the game the missions are in wide open space plains so why force me into a bunch of tight corridors at the very last minute laskdjsldsd oh my god it was terrible 

ANYWAY moving on to much more fun stuff to talk about, how about them Disney worlds, huh? Might as well talk about my thoughts on each one of them, since they all offered such unique experiences that came together SO damn nicely: 

Olympus was, in my opinion, an excellent way to kick off the game. You get plenty of room to explore and see exactly what’s new in terms of gameplay and the game gives you chances to learn those moves and practice them in a nice, controlled environment. The world itself is lush and lovely and quite varied, with Thebes as an entire city environment to explore, the mountain to climb up and avoid Titans on (excellent first real bosses in the game btw I was so hype throughout that entire fight) and the beautiful environment of Olympus itself to slide and glide through). I was also pleasantly surprised in just how much the world set up for the rest of the game, kicking off Sora’s whole arc of having to get stronger throughout the game (more on that later), showing what Pete and Maleficent are up to (again more on that later), showing us that the Organization is still kickin and a threat, and basically getting us hype for everything else that’s to come! I’ll give Olympus an 8/10 I’d say if I had to score it lol

Next up in terms of full worlds to explore is the Toy Box and DAMN this world was impressive. They really did a GREAT job making you feel like a toy exploring a much larger world around you. Most of this level did take place at Galaxy Toys but I really don’t see that as a restriction since the place is MASSIVE and so much fun to navigate and pick out all those little details I mentioned above. Controlling the robots in this level as a BLAST in every way possible, and I do love all the little nods and references they make back to Toy Story itself in this world. Buzz and Woody were great to have along for the ride and I really appreciated how they were actually involved in the plot points of the world (like seriously, Woody fuckin telling Young Xehanort off will forever be one of my favorite KH moments oh my god). Imo this one was for sure one of my favorites, 9/10

After that, we have Corona and I was really excited about this world and I do think they did a great job with it. The environments are lush and absolutely beautiful (as is, again, the level’s music), and there are so many fun little moments in this level (having a splash fight with Rapunzel was PURE as was the entire dancing minigame imo adorable and so much fun). Its just... idk, for some reason i feel like I wasn’t as... engaged in this world as I was with some of the others? Its more or less just the story of Tangled imo, but Sora, Donald, and Goofy are just sorta... there. Hell, there are points where the trio just up and disappears from the Tangled plot and don’t even come into play until much later on which is sorta... why? I get that ya have a lot to convey in a short amount of time, but damn if Tangled wasn’t the perfect world for a KH game and it just felt like the story of it was... not as great as it should have been? Idk maybe I just wanted more bonding between the trio and the Tangled characters, and what we got was fine but I still wanted... more . So yeah, this one gets a 6/10 from me. 

Next up I went to Monstropolis and this one was also a pretty great time. Exploring the factory is a lot of fun and though it is kind of standard in terms of gameplay, everything else here is really great. The humor in this level is especially sublime and I love how the trinity trio plays off Mike, Sully, and Boo imo its pure as can be. And once again we have the Disney characters taking active engagement in the plot of the world (seriously Sully just yeeting Vanitas through several doors like he’s the lil piece of goth trash that he is is right up there with that scene of Woody and YX) So yeah not a ton to say about it, but I liked it a lot. 7/10. 

After Monstropolis, I went to Arendelle and by god this world was way more than I was expecting it to be. Seriously I LOVED how the plot of Frozen worked so naturally into this level, this was honestly much better than how Corona did it if you ask me. We actually got to see moments of connection between Sora and characters like Elsa and Anna and so on and it was great. Plus oh my god that Let It Go sequence was INCREDIBLE the animation on that was simply STUNNING! As for gameplay, I gotta say it was another fun one. The ice labyrinth was sorta meh, but exploring the mountain was a great time (and led to a lot of fun snark between the Trinity Trio imo) and the snowy environments here were just beautiful. Sledding down the mountain was a blast, and having Marshmallow to help out as a brief companion was unexpected but adorable. So yeah this was another one of my absolute favs. 9/10. 

After Arendelle though... things... fuckin tanked. The Caribbean was the goddamn worst part of this game for me, and not just because I haven’t seen the movies and therefore can’t really get a ton of enjoyment out of the characters and the story. Even beside that this world was just damn tedious. I thought the whole ship thing was gonna be fun at first, but then it just turned into an absolute shitshow, with enemy ships unfairly disappearing and reappearing and then completely blasting your ass (btw the ship is fuckin slow as hell so its hard to navigate (and yes I get that its a big pirate ship, but I don’t fucking care this was supposed to be fun so why isn’t it fun???) And don’t even get me started on that whole collecting white crabs bullshit imo that was just about pretty fucking pointless tbh so yeah suffice to say I didn’t have a fun time with this one. It had nice music tho I’ll give it that. And the swimming controls weren’t that bad so yeah. That’s about all the nice things I can say bout it. 3/10.

But GOD did the game ever make up for it when I got to San Fransokyo. I already really love Big Hero 6, so getting to explore the world of it was just GREAT.  The fight on the bridge was a great introduction and exploring the city was AMAZING. Everything felt so HUGE and there was SO much to see (so many buildings to run up!!!). Plus the boss battle against Evil Baymax or whatever was the SHIT in this level, seriously it was so much fun. And hey, it had a really solid original story to it too! I love how the game went out of its way to give each member of Big Hero 6 so much of their original personality from the movie, and it allowed them all a chance to interact with Sora, Donald, and Goofy to really make it seem like unique and engaging bonds were being formed. This world honestly had me so invested and I loved it so much, I’d say its probably my favorite of the entire game. 10/10.

And yeah so those are all the Disney worlds. Gonna not really talk about the last two worlds cause they’re more story heavy than gameplay heavy and speaking of which... guess its about that time. 

First of all, I gotta say that one of my favorite things about this game was its dialogue. Most of the VAs did a pretty damn solid job but the main characters especially so had a lot of emotion put into them. This game has so many fun little chatty moments, and the writing here is probably the most natural its ever been in a KH game. There’s so many fun little moments of sassy banter (between Sora, Donald, and Goofy in particular, seriously I could listen to those three yap at each other all goddamn day its excellent). SO much personality leaks through every character in just about every word they say and I really appreciate it and the effort put into it all! 

Now with that out of the way, the story oh god the story. So I should probably say that, for a preexisting KH fan like myself, this is the KH game that was actually the easiest to understand what’s going on in? Crazy, I know, but this game actually explains most of the off the wall things that happen in it in a way that anyone could readily understand, and personally I really think that benefits it. I think the plot only really derailed itself for me like... once (the whole explanation behind Repliku jfc what a mess). But there were still a few things that the game didn’t explain that I’ll again, talk about later. As for the story itself... 

One of the things i REALLY Loved about it was the character arc Sora had in this game. Riding off of DDD, the game really does set him up as the defeated underdog at the start of it and he feels bad about that and as a result you feel bad and wanna help this sad lil twink bb son get stronger!!! He just wants to help people but he can’t because he doesn’t have the power of waking but the great thing is he forces himself past that handicap and helps them anyway just by being himself and that’s beautiful. I already loved my precious sunshine son already, but this game made me absolutely adore him like seriously, he’s skyrocketed to one of my favorite characters in any fictional medium as a result of this game. He’s such a silly dork who is clearly having fun in all these Disney worlds as he’s off makin new friends, but its clear there’s a certain... anxiety lingering behind all of that. The kid as a lot of pressure on his shoulders and eventually it breaks him and that fucking scene broke me. But in the end, he still fuckin rises above it and kicks ass and then he fuckin disappears but that’s another point to bring up later on cause oh my god but basically the gist is, Sora is my absolute precious son boyo and I would gladly die for him oh my god

Donald and Goofy are also a TON of fun to watch in this game. I may crack jokes about Donald bitching at Sora a lot but you can tell he does it out of a true place of caring. Tbh there were a few Trinity Trio moments in this game that honest to god choked me up a bit, especially near the end. Mickey is sorta downplayed in this game, which is sorta whatever, but I did appreciate Riku in this game a lot (the brief spots where i got a chance to play as him were great). Kairi was... under fucking utilized again and I can’t deny that’s disappointing, and honestly same goes for Axel, though he DID have his moments, especially towards the end. And imo It was a delight to get all the other returning KH kids. Reuniting Aqua, Terra, and Ventus was beautiful, as was the reunion between Roxas, Xion, and Axel. Kinda wish we had gotten more Namine, but I’m glad she got her happy ending all the same. I also appreciate the Twilight Trio in this game, that one scene were they annoy the shit out of Ansem was the best. As for the baddies, same old same old though the game did sorta make them more interesting here and there. Xehanort’s “redemption” is sorta whatever to me, I kinda didn’t really care about what happened to him as much as I did my kids all coming together and being happy together and for the most part that’s what i got so I can’t say I didn’t walk away (mostly) happy as a result. I really fuckin do think the game could have done more with a handful of its bad guys, like they could have maybe implied more about the whole Xigbar=Luxu thing, and imo god did poor Vanitas get the short end of the stick I was expecting so much more on that front and I was sorely disappointed. But for the most part, I liked how this really was a huge KH reunion of heroes and villains alike. In that sense, it felt like one big tribute to the series’ entire history and for that, I love it. 

So I guess that means the only thing I can talk about now is the ending. Oh god that ending. Fuckin thing kept me up all night long last night and had me stressed as fuck this morning while I was at work but honestly? I think I’m over it now. Yeah it is certainly a cliffhanger (especially now that we have that secret movie which raises so many more questions but at the very least it does establish that Sora isn’t dead so I can appreciate that). And hey, it implies that more Kingdom Hearts games are to come, so I can’t really be mad about that since I’m pretty much absolute KH trash at this point. But yeah, that ending got me shook and tbh I think that’s what it was supposed to to, be incredibly bittersweet and all and imo it completely succeeded in that regard. 

Anyway before I go, just a few more points of disappointment I suppose that I haven’t touched on. Pete and Maleficent might as well not have even fucking been in the game for as few times as they appeared imo and the game also sorta just dropped the whole thing with Demyx and Vexen in a similar manner, as well as the whole thing about Larxene, Marluxia, Luxord, and Demyx “unlocking their inner keyblade heritage” or whatever imo game fuckin had too much KHX baiting if you ask me (that one scene where you use a bunch of KHX keyblades to murder a fuckton of heartless was really cool tho). Tbh I feel like the game had several moments of intrigue that it kinda more or less dropped the ball on, like for instance three examples in particular include that bit in Corona where Marluxia straight up knocks Sora the hell out and yeah that’s all he does, imo why even fucking bother with that when the kid just wakes up like nothing’s happened to seconds later? (to get the Trinity Trio out of the plot of Tangled, that’s what jfc), similar thing in Arendelle during the scene where Elsa freezes Anna’s heart, Sora for some reason gasps in pain and clenches his own heart at that exact same moment and the game never fucking bothers to explain why and that’s frustrating. Same thing goes for why Sora disappeared from the cover of Pooh’s book (lol guess that was fuckin foreshadowing the ending) the game offers a non explaination for it that is just... really not that conclusive so why even bother making a big deal out of it in the first place if you’re just gonna drop it? Plus there were a lot of other... smaller moments that I thought the game was gonna do so much more with but didn’t; the moment when Ven and Roxas see each other for the first time and realize they look basically the same but at no point do we actually see them exchange dialogue; Terra and Riku actually having a fucking conversation imo; same thing with any real interaction between Xion and Kairi; or how about the game not actually fucking explaining how the organization brought Xion back at all like wasn’t she a part of Sora how the hell did you do that game you have to EXPLAIN 

Sigh... but anyway, even despite those frustrations, i still absolutely adored my time with KH3. Yeah like I said it wasn’t perfect, but by god was it worth the wait. The game was pure, sheer, fun and its story got me so damn emotional that I actually CRIED at several points of it even though KH has never made me legit cry before. And really? If this stupid as hell game can make this brittle old heart do that, then you know its a good one. 

TLDR: Kingdom Hearts 3 is hella good, it made me cry like a little bitch, kinda fuckin dropped the ball on some points but whatever, and kept me up all goddamn night in existential dread over my precious son’s ambiguous fate. Imo fuckin 10/10 right there I love it and can’t wait to pick it up and play it again

Hey ya’ll, Auntie Em here and she’s got her first job in 13 years!!! IT’S AT WALMART YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!! Anyway, been at it a little over a month and lemme tell you, working with people you like and who like you and are interested in you as a person....can make damn near any job something to look forward too! Am I excited to stock items(if I’m on toys then yes) Not really? Am I excited to show new drawings and talk about things during break? YEEEEEEEEESSS!!! Anyway, I have learned the biggest problem, it’s not people who don’t know what they’re looking for(Ya’ll are fine, customer brain happens in a store jam packed with items it’s like a seek n find!!!) but....it’s the people who can not give you any hints as to what they’re looking for   I had a lady today who was demanding I, A box throwing stock monkey, and I quote “Take her to the Children’s music.” but apparently childrens music was NOT in the music section, so I asked her what she’s looking for specifically and she says this amazing bit of information. “You Put the Thing in it. You plug it in, and it plays music.” Out of the three people who heard her, guess who’s the lil afab who didn’t run away fast enough? ME! Lol SO, I take her to where the kids CD players, MP3 players and CD players are...none of them are the thing that plugs in and plays music and instead of giving me infortmation she just keeps telling me it plugs in and to take her too it. I lead her through several isles of toys and showed her many things that got me no response before she abruptly demands “DOES THIS HAVE THE CASSETTE IN IT?!” Holy fuck, A Cassette? Finally a little bit of information even if Cassette players don’t fucking EXIST IN THIS STORE IT IS SOMETHING!!! “Cassette? Are you looking for a kid’s Cassette player?” “YES! YES! TAKE ME TOO IT!” “Ma’am we don’t have those.” “No no no, it plugs in and it plays music!!!” Holy mother of stuffed Crust you guys, Auntie was trying to hold it all in so hard as she showed her the kids electronics once more to tell her “These are the radios and music players, we don’t have cassette.” “NOOOO! IT PLUGS IN AND IT PLAYS THE CHILDRENS MUSIC! IT PLAYS CHRISTMAS MUSIC AND THE NURSERY RHYMES!!” “Ma’am I have no idea what you’re looking for, the only place we have more toys is in baby, it’s all the way over there and is one isle. Do you still need me to help?” I ask because it’s on the other side of the massive store and I have so much work to do on this side and she got mad at me “YES! HELP ME HELP ME! TAKE ME TO THE PLAYER IT PLUGS IN!” Sooooo we start walking, a Teen I work with walks over and suddenly she turns to him “Where is the children’s music?!” Before I could tell him I was leading her somewhere he asks “Like music boxes?” She says “YES!” and he leads her away and I’m left there.....by the way I was clutching a broken wiggle slug the whole time, So, I run away and put the broken slug where it needs to be and find him later. He too, could not figure out what she wanted, nor could anyone else........Of all the hundreds of things that could plug in and play music....what was she looking for????

Oct 30 Dancitron Movie Night - Poltergeist

Soundwave dressed as Tarantulas. Prowl nearly died. Tarantulas showed up dressed as Soundwave. Prowl DID die.

Prowl had a good night.

Today Generalbri 7:37 pm HEWWWOO NoodlesAtNight 7:38 pm *Most of the minis are off having a party with those who like Earth holidays, but a few have stayed here. Rumble - making a semi-convincing Minimus Ambus - is lounging on a couch with a sparkly orange cube in his hand. Where Soundwave usually sits is... well, it's probably Soundwave, but it sure looks different. Purple and green, fuzzy as Pit, with several pipes harnessed to his back. Even his visor has a fake set of mandibles and a yellow stripe displayed on it.* ((YO)) SpectralDragon615 7:38 pm ((SOUNDWAVE ARE YOU COSPLAYING TARA)) NoodlesAtNight 7:38 pm (( ouo )) SpectralDragon615 7:38 pm ((god you're so valid)) Generalbri 7:39 pm (( omg MedicalMurdersaurus 7:39 pm *BUSTS in through the door, painted as pink as can be* Me Swoop am COMEDIAN — wily-red-and-galeforce-gold: “You wanna be a power... Me Swoop am COMEDIAN — wily-red-and-galeforce-gold: “You wanna be a power... - wily-red-and-galeforce-gold:?““You wanna be a power ranger?” ” Generalbri 7:40 pm (( that's cute NoodlesAtNight 7:40 pm *Rumble IMMEDIATELY bursts into laughter. It takes him a second to rearrange himself into something more proper looking and serious.* //Greetin's, Earthling. Obey the Tyrest Accord 'n all that while ya stay here.// Omalah 7:40 pm *Always one for a good scary movie, Aegis slips in, not in costume but carrying some extra treats and high grade* SpectralDragon615 7:40 pm *the dragon bridges in, dragging a cart full of treats behind her. chestburster heads- you can see the lil hat remnants from where she used the same mold as the dancing chestburster sculpture she made for Soundwave -, mercury rolls shaped like xenomorph eggs where the mercury spills out when you bite into it, gummy bats and rust stick pumpkins. surprisingly, the dragon shoves the cart somewhere out of the way and vanishes back into the bridge in a blur of pink and rhinestones* Sorry, two trips! MedicalMurdersaurus 7:41 pm what THAT? *has no idea what rumble is talking about or who he is* NoodlesAtNight 7:43 pm //Only the best rules ya ever saw, 'n I'm enforcin' 'em.// *Rumble nods to Aegis and then to the dragon.* //If that dirty Soundwave 'Con was here, he'd like them treats. Made 'em to health regulations, I hope.// MedicalMurdersaurus 7:43 pm ENFORCE? kehheheh. You a POLICE bot? SunstreakerCMO 7:43 pm -stalls at the entrance. Had he missed something?- NoodlesAtNight 7:44 pm ((bri if you wanna come in as you as a human feel free, we'll just air bubble you lol. otherwise you could be someone if you want or just chill and chatter in OOC as you like 😃 )) Generalbri 7:45 pm (( oh jeez. it's been so long verdigrisprowl 7:46 pm *appears; sits in his usual s--* NoodlesAtNight 7:46 pm //I ain't a police bot.

No idea what's going on in this room, at all- verdigrisprowl 7:46 pm *stares at Soundwave* NoodlesAtNight 7:46 pm *Tarantulas-Soundwave waggles one of the pipes at Sunstreaker.* Omalah 7:47 pm Ranger? What the heck is that? SpectralDragon615 7:47 pm *the NEXT cart is actually a dolly that the dragon has to push through- the cargo is that heavy! it's not a life-sized sculpture of a xenomorph queen, but it's at least three times the height of the chestburster sculpture she brought to Soundwave, molded in energon. the plates and teeth are detailed in silver, and the eyes are carefully hammered in the same metal. each piece of silver has had the same phrase carved on it in cybertronian, an earth language, and a pictographical language that Soundwave might recognize as the dragon's own. they're not spooky phrases- "from knowledge, power" and "a silver tongue is worth its weight in gold" are both there, amongst others -but it's all very heartfelt. the dragon is dressed as... a pink toad with dragonfly wings and a rhinestone fetish? hm.* Okay. That's the second one. Hi, Soundwave! *phew. she's bushed.* ((lmao I wrote all that and nearly forgot to say what it was a sculpture of)) ((dragon got spooky)) SunstreakerCMO 7:48 pm -just /stares/ back at the thing that looks kinda like Soundwave but he's not sure- NoodlesAtNight 7:48 pm *Now waggles a pipe-leg at Prowl as well and pats the seat next to himself. Little hearts float up on his visor and everything, over the mandibles.* Omalah 7:48 pm *Waves to Sunstreaker* Are you oing to come in and relax or what? SunstreakerCMO 7:48 pm ....what is going on? MedicalMurdersaurus 7:48 pm HALLOWEEN duh Omalah 7:48 pm Spooky Celebration NoodlesAtNight 7:48 pm //A duly appointed holiday.// SunstreakerCMO 7:49 pm Halloween?

It hasn't been /that/ long since I came to a movie night.]] *Oh Primus, he is about to lose it himself. Keep sitting still, Soundwave.* Generalbri 7:51 pm *something smacks into the back of Sunstreaker's helm* oi! out of the way! *then off a tiny black toy ship flies off then transforms to land on the back of the couch* MedicalMurdersaurus 7:51 pm It a dress up spooky scare day NoodlesAtNight 7:51 pm *"Minimus Ambus" gets up to inspect the Alien queen, squinting and hrmming at it.* //Was this registrated like an invasive species with customs?// Omalah 7:52 pm Except Soundwave generally puts a pin in anything actually scary like sparkeaters so we don't have to worry about anything MedicalMurdersaurus 7:52 pm Us go fight real monsters??? :V SunstreakerCMO 7:52 pm -jerks forwards and then turns to look at the thing that hit him- ...what.

SunstreakerCMO 7:55 pm This is not...something I was prepared for NoodlesAtNight 7:55 pm *Rumble confiscates the xeno-egg mercury roll and gives it a lick.* //Paperwork checks out. Carry on, rhinestone thingie.// MedicalMurdersaurus 7:55 pm so? NoodlesAtNight 7:55 pm //You, little ship thing. Y'got a parkin' permit?// Omalah 7:56 pm If its too much, would it be easier for you to stay near the gate and away from the... paraphanelia? SpectralDragon615 7:56 pm Fairy dragon, sir. Thank you, sir. *the dragon awkwardly salutes, before putting the rest of her treats where they belong* MedicalMurdersaurus 7:56 pm *bounces to the song* SunstreakerCMO 7:56 pm It was unexpected NoodlesAtNight 7:56 pm *"Tarantulas" beckons Swoop closer.* [[Swoop!

SunstreakerCMO 7:59 pm -and he's going to move towards the back of the room, hopefully away from the holiday stuff- NoodlesAtNight 7:59 pm *Soundwave holds out his arms in their furry mittens. Come on, then, Swoop.* MedicalMurdersaurus 8:00 pm *dashes over to Soundwave and all but throws himself in the other mech's arms* NoodlesAtNight 8:00 pm //Hmm. Nah. You seem like a trustworthy bo... yer a bot, ain'tcha? Kinda small. Smaller 'n me, 'n I'm the irreductible me.// verdigrisprowl 8:01 pm *soundwave's even imitating tarantulas.* *hold on, prowl's gonna. just. he's gonna. sit down. and bury his face in his hands. and shake.* NoodlesAtNight 8:03 pm *Soundwave hoists Swoop into the air and plays back one of Tarantulas' cackles. He knows this is gonna cause trouble later and does not care at all.* Generalbri 8:03 pm *the tiny toy sticks out his tiny glossa, jumps off the couch, transforms and lands on Rumbles helm* i'm not a bot! i'm a bat!

I ain't who ya want if you're a bat. You gotta wait for a Starscream or somethin'.// SpectralDragon615 8:04 pm *oh, dear, Prowl is dying. the dragon is actually slightly concerned* NoodlesAtNight 8:05 pm *And down Swoop goes. Soundwave should probably pat Prowl on the back in comfort. That seems a Tarantulas thing to do.* MedicalMurdersaurus 8:05 pm *bounces and snickers* You PRETTY good Spider Bot kehehhhehhh SunstreakerCMO 8:05 pm -what is going on in this room anymore?- Omalah 8:05 pm *Aegis isn't sure if Prowl is trying not to laugh or if he's having a panic attack so he's just going to let him have space* verdigrisprowl 8:05 pm *he certainly is dying and soundwave killed him.* NoodlesAtNight 8:06 pm *Shenanigans, Sunstreaker. So many shenanigans. This place gets a little.... off-kilter, around Halloween.* SunstreakerCMO 8:06 pm ((at least there's a medic in the room Omalah 8:06 pm ((two of 'em)) SunstreakerCMO 8:06 pm ((yup verdigrisprowl 8:06 pm *okay. okay. he's recovering. thanks for the back pats. he sits up and looks at— nope, his face is going back in his hands.* SpectralDragon615 8:06 pm Um, Super-intelligent Spider Sir, I think Prowl is dying.

You know an awful lot about spiders for a Soundwave. /Squinting again at the holoform, and is going to try to touch./ radioactivibee 9:12 pm So you do molt? Smokey, remember. Soundwave has tentacles.

MedicalMurdersaurus 9:13 pm No NoodlesAtNight 9:13 pm [[It does /not/ make Soundwave an arachnid.]] SpectralDragon615 9:13 pm Tentacles are a valid and important anatomical option. LyingLiarWhoLies 9:13 pm Soundwave doesn't - HE doesn't have a sufficient number of limbs. opatoes 9:13 pm That doesn't make him an arachnid! That just makes him creepy. MedicalMurdersaurus 9:13 pm Me Swoop *bounces up enough to flap his wings* not have feathers NoodlesAtNight 9:13 pm [[Thank you, dragon.]] radioactivibee 9:13 pm He's the closest we have since Airachnid's on the moon.

Shouldn't it be in some kind of vault? opatoes 9:14 pm ... But if it's left in a vault, it'd be super easy to steal. Trust me, I've stolen from vaults before! LyingLiarWhoLies 9:14 pm *snatches right up !! but also pulls smokey in for a hug, because watching sw's holo hugging smokey has gotta be weird from the outside, rite* radioactivibee 9:14 pm Smokes, you're the only bot with a phase shifter. opatoes 9:15 pm /SQUEAKS at the "Soundwave hug, before affectionately hugging him./ Messy!

NoodlesAtNight 9:26 pm *....And maybe join the curling up pile on the couch.* radioactivibee 9:26 pm [Rumble has exactly the right idea] SpectralDragon615 9:26 pm *reaches out to pat rumble?* opatoes 9:26 pm ... Is that what it's like when you get to the Allspark? Primus. radioactivibee 9:26 pm Swoop, don't strain your optics too much. It's not good being that close to a screen. Omalah 9:27 pm ...that's how this movie started radioactivibee 9:27 pm No, the Allspark is wonderful. It's if you get trapped in between... What the-- opatoes 9:27 pm Ohhh- oh, yeah. /He's leaning in to hold Bee./ You should stay in this realm, though. NoodlesAtNight 9:27 pm *Rumble flinches but lets the pat happen.* *Soundwave curls a feeler around Rumble loosely but protectively.* SpectralDragon615 9:27 pm *oh no! a flinch! withdraws her paw quickly* I'm sorry. MedicalMurdersaurus 9:28 pm Me Swoop not STRAIN. Me Swoop a bombardier. Me can see for eeeeeeeeeever far away : > NoodlesAtNight 9:28 pm //Naw, 's okay.// LyingLiarWhoLies 9:29 pm (( relocate... a cemetary.... you can't just.... radioactivibee 9:29 pm Maybe far away, but what about very, very close? [Snuggling up to Smokey] Yeah. This realm's not too bad. SpectralDragon615 9:29 pm *churrs* Feeling okay? SunstreakerCMO 9:30 pm . . . Right NoodlesAtNight 9:30 pm [[If you can see forever far away, why sit up close?]] SunstreakerCMO 9:30 pm These humans are not intelligent Omalah 9:30 pm *makes a face* No one ever accused them of being smart radioactivibee 9:30 pm Wait why are they moving a cemetary? SunstreakerCMO 9:30 pm Because they are stupid Omalah 9:30 pm So they can build houses radioactivibee 9:30 pm ... That's so cursed. NoodlesAtNight 9:31 pm [[Quite.]] MedicalMurdersaurus 9:31 pm For fun : > opatoes 9:31 pm I know, right? Even if there's bots we might miss a lot- there's a lot of bots that are amazing here. verdigrisprowl 9:31 pm I get the impression that's the point. verdigrisprowl 9:32 pm *so. with costumes stripped and all, where did everyone end up on the couch.* opatoes 9:32 pm I wish I had heart. radioactivibee 9:32 pm Who are these people? You have Spark. opatoes 9:32 pm True! And that's way better, right? LyingLiarWhoLies 9:32 pm *right up next to prowl, if he allowed it!* SpectralDragon615 9:32 pm *the dragon would like to hang out as near to Soundwave as possible* opatoes 9:32 pm You can squeeze a spark! radioactivibee 9:33 pm Whoa wait what? SpectralDragon615 9:33 pm *although she's still in her horrible pink-and-rhinestone costume* NoodlesAtNight 9:33 pm *Soundwave is on the other side of Prowl, and Rumble is on his shoulder.* verdigrisprowl 9:33 pm *he certainly did allow it.* opatoes 9:33 pm ... You can squeeze one? Hypothetically? But you can't really do that with a heart, since they're so small. radioactivibee 9:33 pm Human murderers would disagree. NoodlesAtNight 9:34 pm [[He appreciates the psychic human's views on having her powers tested.]] SpectralDragon615 9:34 pm I can't imagine that it wouldn't get annoying to have people do that constantly. NoodlesAtNight 9:34 pm *So, in order from one side of the couch to the other: dragon, Soundwave and Rumble, Prowl, Tarantulas.* verdigrisprowl 9:34 pm *... puts a hand on Tarantulas's thigh.* *mmmm. fuzz.* SpectralDragon615 9:34 pm *confy dragon. free real estate.* NoodlesAtNight 9:35 pm [[...They're sparkeaters?]] LyingLiarWhoLies 9:35 pm *nearly perfect fuzz! but it's a holoform, so the weight of the setae is the tiniest bit off* opatoes 9:35 pm I mean- you can do it in a non-murdery way, too! opatoes 9:36 pm With sparks. NoodlesAtNight 9:36 pm *...He wonders whether sparkeaters will go to the Allspark.* verdigrisprowl 9:36 pm *close enough.* SpectralDragon615 9:36 pm How do human spirits not realize that they've died? Death is supposedly very, very cold... radioactivibee 9:36 pm I never tried because if I did, someone would do it in the murder-y way. Same way Cybertronians don't. NoodlesAtNight 9:36 pm [[Perhaps they perished in winter.]] opatoes 9:36 pm ... radioactivibee 9:36 pm But our sparks tend to lose their way... radioactivibee 9:37 pm so wait, this girl actually DID die, right? SpectralDragon615 9:37 pm Mhm. *the dragon considers this* I've never heard of dragon spirits being unaware of their own death. But I've never met one. NoodlesAtNight 9:37 pm [[He is not sure.]] SpectralDragon615 9:37 pm She's been taken, but not yet eaten, would be my guess. Maybe the spirit likes playing with its food? radioactivibee 9:37 pm Where'd the body go? NoodlesAtNight 9:37 pm [[He is not sure of that either.]] SunstreakerCMO 9:37 pm The beast? SpectralDragon615 9:37 pm Elsewhere. SpectralDragon615 9:38 pm Oh, my, they're actually going spelunking into the afterlife. NoodlesAtNight 9:39 pm [[...He has only just begun learning about these things, but he does not know if this is wise of them.]] SpectralDragon615 9:39 pm If they were dragons, I would say that it would be an excellent way to get consumed. radioactivibee 9:40 pm How old was this girl? NoodlesAtNight 9:40 pm [[It feeds on fear?]] SunstreakerCMO 9:41 pm . . . radioactivibee 9:41 pm Doesn't IT do that already? Omalah 9:41 pm Old enough to go to school at least radioactivibee 9:41 pm And Freddy? SpectralDragon615 9:41 pm Fear seems... unpleasant? Unsubstantial? radioactivibee 9:41 pm um NoodlesAtNight 9:41 pm [[...Rather the opposite.]] verdigrisprowl 9:41 pm Most likely, it's feeding on the souls, but uses their fears to manipulate them. SpectralDragon615 9:41 pm Not as a feeling, as a food. NoodlesAtNight 9:41 pm [[Hm. That is no more pleasant.]] SpectralDragon615 9:41 pm Spirits feed on souls all the time, so that makes more sense. SunstreakerCMO 9:42 pm What is going on here now? verdigrisprowl 9:42 pm Or, if not feeding on them, then obtaining some sort of benefit from them. Perhaps it's simply powerhungry. radioactivibee 9:42 pm Why? Eventually no one's gonna come back to the house. SpectralDragon615 9:42 pm I don't think it's thinking particularly long term. Omalah 9:42 pm Yeah but the ball got fragged up in the process radioactivibee 9:42 pm is she going through now? SpectralDragon615 9:42 pm It is somehow unaware that it is dead, after all. radioactivibee 9:42 pm this seems like a terrible idea SpectralDragon615 9:43 pm ((I never watched past the face peel scene- is there more gore I should be worried about here?)) NoodlesAtNight 9:43 pm [[What power is there to seize in the afterlife? Does it intend to topple its deities?]] *Scooting forward. Most interested now.* [[What is the pink goo?]] ((there's weird pink jello looking goo but no gore i don't think)) SpectralDragon615 9:43 pm ((thank)) NoodlesAtNight 9:44 pm ((monsters and bones and such but no like meat)) SpectralDragon615 9:44 pm Maybe it's meat. radioactivibee 9:44 pm (( yes pls and thank you! (( i'm super nauseous >.< Wow. NoodlesAtNight 9:44 pm *HUFFS* ((😧 are you ok)) SpectralDragon615 9:44 pm ((was it the face peeling)) SpectralDragon615 9:45 pm ((I still feel bad remembering that)) NoodlesAtNight 9:45 pm [[She has a point. Nobody else knows what to do without her.]] SpectralDragon615 9:45 pm Stop flirting and go fetch your hatchling, docent. radioactivibee 9:45 pm (( I've been p sick since august. dropped maybe 10lb by now? finally getting more help for it on Friday though! verdigrisprowl 9:46 pm What power is there worth seizing on Cybertron, at this point? And yet we've got Starscreams. SpectralDragon615 9:46 pm ((holy fuck, bee, that's bad)) radioactivibee 9:46 pm Anyone else thinking of that movie with the big boat that sank? NoodlesAtNight 9:46 pm ((😧 i'm glad you're gonna get seen... i hope the doc can help you get better)) verdigrisprowl 9:46 pm I figure the hypothetical gap between life and the human afterlife isn't much different from Cybertron. Dark, barren, undesirable, and dead. SpectralDragon615 9:46 pm ((oh, she's dowsing)) radioactivibee 9:47 pm (( yeah, i think it went from heat-related to stress response. been unemployed on top of that too and going through some stuff, but i have some cool meetings coming up so i have a bit of hope MedicalMurdersaurus 9:47 pm KEHEHHEHEHH it YELL radioactivibee 9:47 pm (( oh that's the thing SpectralDragon615 9:47 pm Meat. radioactivibee 9:47 pm Um. opatoes 9:47 pm ((/hugs/ yeah!! I hope they go well!)) radioactivibee 9:47 pm Ew. How the SunstreakerCMO 9:48 pm So SpectralDragon615 9:48 pm I suspect the spirits have been eating many children. SunstreakerCMO 9:48 pm He got an expert and radioactivibee 9:48 pm I'm confused. SunstreakerCMO 9:48 pm And then did not listen to her? Omalah 9:48 pm You said it before, they're not smart NoodlesAtNight 9:48 pm [[Nobody listens to experts.]] radioactivibee 9:48 pm Same, other humans. Omalah 9:49 pm Bullshit! SunstreakerCMO 9:49 pm Yes, I did say that, but I did not expect him to be THAT stupid radioactivibee 9:49 pm I still wouldn't live there. SpectralDragon615 9:49 pm ((did the skeletons in the swimming pool scene happen yet)) NoodlesAtNight 9:49 pm *Nods at Prowl. He can't imagine being in between would sound any different than just described, no. There was that whole dead universe, after all.* ((not yet)) radioactivibee 9:50 pm (( WAIT THERE'S MORE?? SpectralDragon615 9:50 pm ((yeah there's more)) NoodlesAtNight 9:50 pm (( OuO )) SpectralDragon615 9:50 pm ((I've seen the skeleton gif on tumblr.hell)) NoodlesAtNight 9:50 pm [[It is for the best. She is too young for those horrors.]] SpectralDragon615 9:50 pm I wonder if it is her. And not, well. Well. radioactivibee 9:50 pm (( how much movie is left omg NoodlesAtNight 9:51 pm //D'you gotta.// radioactivibee 9:51 pm I don't trust that girl's doll either SpectralDragon615 9:51 pm *blinks* ...No. No, I do not. I'm sorry. *shit, how long has she been making Rumble uncomfortable* NoodlesAtNight 9:51 pm *Mumbles.* //'S okay. You dunno.// radioactivibee 9:52 pm Why would you keep your kid in there?? SpectralDragon615 9:52 pm *very slowly reaches out, offering pat* radioactivibee 9:52 pm I'd keep that kid next to me as much as possible! NoodlesAtNight 9:52 pm *That one he'll take without flinching.* Omalah 9:52 pm Oh because the house is 'clean' verdigrisprowl 9:52 pm ... If I were her I'd go in in there to ensure the child is talking to her other child and not to something invisible. SpectralDragon615 9:52 pm *pat pat* Omalah 9:52 pm so it's okay NoodlesAtNight 9:52 pm [[Agreed. He would not let any of his creations out of his sight, had he any, until out of that house.]] radioactivibee 9:52 pm That's probably how the whole mess started. NoodlesAtNight 9:52 pm [[Even telepaths and those like us can be wrong from time to time.]] LyingLiarWhoLies 9:52 pm (( "get out of the solar system" that's my new insult NoodlesAtNight 9:53 pm ((heh heh)) SunstreakerCMO 9:53 pm This is not going to go well verdigrisprowl 9:53 pm Dye your hair after getting out of the house, don't leave the small ones unprotected. radioactivibee 9:53 pm (( that's such a good one for Transformers too XD SpectralDragon615 9:53 pm She's not a bright docent, it seems. verdigrisprowl 9:53 pm ((right?)) radioactivibee 9:53 pm Oh good the dog's ok. MedicalMurdersaurus 9:53 pm Docent meeeeeeeeeeeans.... Omalah 9:53 pm And that creepy doll is still there~ radioactivibee 9:53 pm Oh Primus. No No LyingLiarWhoLies 9:53 pm They really should have gotten rid of that horrendous thing. SpectralDragon615 9:53 pm Wheelijack is your Docent, Swoop. radioactivibee 9:53 pm Nooooooooooooooo SunstreakerCMO 9:54 pm ........ verdigrisprowl 9:54 pm They're too confident that their house has been cleaned. MedicalMurdersaurus 9:54 pm Creator Omalah 9:54 pm *uncomfortable whine* SpectralDragon615 9:54 pm Caretaker. My docents didn't create me, but they raised me. verdigrisprowl 9:54 pm It's reasonable to assume that the mass of ghosts passed on, but I see no evidence that the big one left. It certainly had no reason to go into the light. NoodlesAtNight 9:54 pm *Soundwave stretches the other feeler toward Aegis. Here. You can cling to that.* MedicalMurdersaurus 9:54 pm Him Sunstreaker is Bob caretaker SpectralDragon615 9:54 pm Sunstreaker is Bob's docent. SunstreakerCMO 9:55 pm I am what now? radioactivibee 9:55 pm Docent? SpectralDragon615 9:55 pm *...Bob is the bug, right? the little child bug? it seems like a good analogy* Omalah 9:55 pm *He's a bit spooked by the sudden feeler near him but smiles and gingerly curls his arms around it* *Hiss* LyingLiarWhoLies 9:55 pm Monsters under the bed, hmm? NoodlesAtNight 9:55 pm [[That would be like politely asking Starscream to leave the government because his policies were inconvenient and expecting him to go.]] verdigrisprowl 9:55 pm More or less. SpectralDragon615 9:56 pm *OH SHIT THAT'S SUNSTREAKER RIGHT HERE* You teach and take care of Bob, right? So if you and Bob were dragons, you'd be Bob's docent. radioactivibee 9:56 pm Primus, that's way too accurate. Omalah 9:56 pm *Clinging to the feeler* Cripes these humans... radioactivibee 9:56 pm Um.......... SunstreakerCMO 9:56 pm I...do not take care of anyone named Bob. NoodlesAtNight 9:57 pm [[Monsters in every part of that house.]] radioactivibee 9:57 pm what the.......????? Omalah 9:57 pm Who is the boy saying is a murderer...? SpectralDragon615 9:57 pm ...Oh. I think, then, I am talking about an alternate of yours. Who I have also never met in person. SunstreakerCMO 9:57 pm Time to get out of that house radioactivibee 9:58 pm You should've kept them IN SIGHT How did she fall down the stairs? verdigrisprowl 9:58 pm Don't touch the railings, obviously. MedicalMurdersaurus 9:58 pm Him Sunstreaker at Ark. Him Bob at Ark too now :S Omalah 9:58 pm massive spiritual pressure throwing her down the steps? SunstreakerCMO 9:58 pm Ah. That explains why I have never heard of this before NoodlesAtNight 9:58 pm ((the skellies approach)) radioactivibee 9:58 pm ew SpectralDragon615 9:58 pm ((THE SKELLIES)) radioactivibee 9:58 pm um who why opatoes 9:59 pm oh! pool pals! SpectralDragon615 9:59 pm Thank you, Swoop. NoodlesAtNight 9:59 pm [[The souls they built over.]] verdigrisprowl 9:59 pm ... I'm getting the impression they didn't move the cemetary as promised. NoodlesAtNight 9:59 pm [[So is he.]] SunstreakerCMO 9:59 pm Apparently not. radioactivibee 9:59 pm why is it such a struggle for her to get out SpectralDragon615 9:59 pm Well, they must have moved the stones. But not the bodies. LyingLiarWhoLies 9:59 pm *muttering* I never understood why people think they ought to be buried with their jewels. Being buried in the first place is already nonsensical NoodlesAtNight 9:59 pm [[She cannot get purchase.]] opatoes 10:00 pm ((man this reminds me of this park by my old high school that they like... apparently "moved" the corpses that were buried underneath to make room for an underground parking lot. that place has gotta be cursed too)) radioactivibee 10:00 pm (( i would never park there omg verdigrisprowl 10:00 pm It IS nonsensical, but humans are very invested in it. SpectralDragon615 10:00 pm ((the local reservoir flooded over a graveyard- I /know/ that place is cursed, though)) radioactivibee 10:00 pm um SpectralDragon615 10:00 pm ...It's a throat. MedicalMurdersaurus 10:00 pm *glances over at the discussion of burial and thinks of Slag again, he should try to suffocate his brother in his sleep again for giggles sometime, mental note* LyingLiarWhoLies 10:01 pm (( oh my GOD swoop SpectralDragon615 10:01 pm *yes, the dragon knows what ELSE it looks like. it's a throat.* NoodlesAtNight 10:01 pm [[You cannot take your items with you.

NoodlesAtNight 10:01 pm *That's totally a throat. It has a mlah and everything.* [[He's sorry - where WHAT started.]] SpectralDragon615 10:01 pm *more firmly* It's a THROAT. SpectralDragon615 10:02 pm *do not drag this dragon into your nasty little world* LyingLiarWhoLies 10:02 pm *snort/chokes* NoodlesAtNight 10:02 pm [[No. No, don't tell him.]] Omalah 10:02 pm Live on in blissful ignorance NoodlesAtNight 10:02 pm [[Face what you have done, fleshling!]] SpectralDragon615 10:02 pm Hah. Called it. radioactivibee 10:02 pm um MedicalMurdersaurus 10:03 pm kehehhehehhwhat??? radioactivibee 10:03 pm OK GOOD THE DOG IS FINE SpectralDragon615 10:03 pm Also, feed him to the corpses. He's the one who left them there. SunstreakerCMO 10:03 pm Good idea Omalah 10:03 pm They do seem to be hungry for something SunstreakerCMO 10:04 pm Maybe retribution will fill them NoodlesAtNight 10:04 pm [[Farewell, Bumblebee.]] radioactivibee 10:04 pm ...Well sucks to be me in this movie. Farewell, cruel world. SpectralDragon615 10:04 pm Oh, look, you're breakdancing.

SpectralDragon615 10:05 pm ...Are you implying that dead humans live in the Shadowzone for all eternity? LyingLiarWhoLies 10:05 pm Why didn't HE get shadowzoned with it. verdigrisprowl 10:05 pm Too far away from the epicenter. SpectralDragon615 10:05 pm I. I feel like that would be very awful. NoodlesAtNight 10:05 pm [[Skyquake does.]] SunstreakerCMO 10:05 pm Well. It LOOKS uncomfortable Omalah 10:05 pm Because he has to live with what he's done? SpectralDragon615 10:05 pm No, living in the Shadowzone for all eternity. radioactivibee 10:05 pm ...Low blow. MedicalMurdersaurus 10:05 pm Skyquake a cool name SpectralDragon615 10:05 pm Especially with all the other dead. That would be crowded, surely. Omalah 10:06 pm *finally looks up the translation of Cuesta Verde* ...Green slope Wasn't that all flat? SpectralDragon615 10:06 pm Bulldozers are magical things. NoodlesAtNight 10:06 pm [[Finally, a wise action.]] LyingLiarWhoLies 10:07 pm The human wouldn't live with it, his mind would be too fragile and amorphous to handle the fright it received, likely enough. verdigrisprowl 10:07 pm From the context, I took it to mean that the "shadowzone"-like territory is a gap /between/ the conventional living realm and whatever they consider an afterlife. SunstreakerCMO 10:07 pm Yes radioactivibee 10:07 pm Primus. verdigrisprowl 10:07 pm Not the afterlife itself. SpectralDragon615 10:07 pm Ah, so it's not all the dead. Just the stubborn ones. radioactivibee 10:07 pm Oh. opatoes 10:07 pm Thanks Steve for the movie I guess LyingLiarWhoLies 10:07 pm This music is deliciously off-theme. radioactivibee 10:07 pm That makes sense.

Snarky Recap - Thunderbirds Are Go: ‘Chaos - part two’

The One Where Chaos Meets Order.

Business as usual for International Rescue. But looks like the tinies are home alone, which leads to the following brilliant piece of dialogue:

Alan: ‘Did someone say space rescue? I’m on it!’

Gordon: ‘Actually, he just said situation.’

Alan: ‘Mmm, close enough. See you in space.’

I think someone ought to cut down on Alan’s daily sugar intake. *squint*

 But halfway through gear up, Big Bro announces that the GDF bot has the situation under control.

‘This is the most embarrassing moment of my life.’ Nah, could be worse. You could have been wearing your Spongebob Squarepants boxers. The ones you got from the kids’ section when Grandma wasn’t looking. But look at that poor pup’s face. My heart is breaking, yo.

Meanwhile, at the GDF facility, Captain Rigby’s patience has proven to be thinner than Mars’ atmosphere. He’s going to try and roast Havoc. Something is telling me that this is just what she’s been hoping for.

Just as Rigby goes full on bad cop mode, Havoc appears behind him, having deployed a hologram that’s sitting behind the table. A few seconds later, she effortlessly sprints past Rigby and the guard. TOLD YOU.

Back up on Thunderbird 5, John is spinning a hologram Earth with all the vigor of a drugged hamster. Poor Space Trash. 

That is... until he picks up an automated distress signal that could turn into a situation. Thank goodness for the high altitude civilian transfer station and its faulty rotor blades. International Rescue is go, fuckyeah!

Just as Scott is getting all excited about no longer being useless... oh never mind, bots on the way. Better luck next time, LOL.

Speaking of being employed, Kayo and Captain Rigby sure have their hands full with their escape prone prisoner. Havoc not only managed to trick her would-be interrogator, she also disables GDF ships and steals mysterious briefcases like it’s the easiest thing in the world. 

IT’S HIGH NOON.

Captain Rigby feels confident that the power of numbers will see Havoc back in her cell.

‘Oh but you’ll have to do a better job searching me this time... soldier boy.’

SHOTS FIRED.

Never mind, Captain Rigby. Your former charge blows her way out of the prison, where her personal Uber is waiting to take her away. 

Rigby: ‘Can somebody please get me a plane?’

Have you tried contacting GDF customer service?

GO GET ‘EM KAYO. SLAY, MY QUEEN.

Meanwhile, on Tracy Island, Brains has figured out why the GDF are not being very active: they are caught in a feedback loop that freezes their decision making protocols. Time for the humans to step in!

If you don’t appreciate me at my...

..then you don’t deserve me at my...

Also, Alan’s response to Scott giving them the green light to go on a rescue is all kinds of effing precious.

SPACE NOODLE PUP PFFF *squish*

Kayo has intercepted the Chaos Cruiser. Havoc’s response is the need for speed.

‘They think they can go fast. How cute.’ NYOOOOOM.

Fuse launches some smart and stubborn rockets in Kayo’d direction but you’d have to try a lot harder to take down Thunderbird Shadow. 

Lady Penelope reports in, having a bit of a ‘situation’ of her own.

If that bot gets any closer I’m pretty sure it’s not the dog that’s gonna need rescuing, teehee.

Virgil, Gordon, and Scott, have arrived at the slanted civilian transfer station, ready to intervene.

Virgil: ‘Alright, I’m gonna try and get this thing horizontal again.’ That’s what she s-yeah, too easy, I know. *hangs head in shame*

Scott gets to try out a new toy called the Skypod...

...and Virgil is definitely joining Gordon’s enthusiasm regarding seeing that thing in action.

‘How come Scott gets all the best gear?’ Yep, TOTALLY not jealous.

When Virgil’s efforts to align the platform are failing, it’s Gordon’s turn to head out there. With a little help from his brother, who knows just how to motivate Squid Boy. 

All chase and no play make Fuse a dull boy. That is, until Havoc tells him to give her GDF loot a go. Which just happens to be a GDF rescue bot remote controller. Oh boy.

This guy is the Thunderbirds Are Go equivalent of every gaming lobby’s worst troll/tryhard.

Gordon is their first target, but no one messes with Squid Boy when Nanny!Virgil is around.

Oh, to make matters worse: these things are pretty tough to destroy or reprogram if you don’t have the right tools...

Poor MAX. Talk about most embarrassing moments...

Up in space, it is time for Alan to intervene before the suspended passenger cars are being crushed.

Alan: ‘Lemme see if I can... pull a few strings to help you out.’

Oh no, he didn’t.

Kayo can’t be fooled by an empty bridge. Or a sneaky hatch. Bye bye, controller. Look at all this badassery. We are not worthy.

The moment Virgil realized he should’ve brough his shades along for the ride. Poor lumberjack pup.

Kayo gracefully re-enters Thunderbird Shadow and proceeds to disable the malfunctioning bots, thus ending up saving the day like the badass queen she is.

Bots everywhere stop working on the spot. In some cases this leads to somewhat uncomfortable situations...

Is that an abstract painting up there or has Virgil drunk-painted a Google Maps search? Hmm. *squint*

And finally, the Hood meets up with his Chaos Crew. As expected, Havoc did get something far more precious out of her prison adventure: the Mechanic’s whereabouts. Has that poor fella not been through enough yet? SERIOUSLY.

Anyway - this episode definitely made for a great two-parter, but part two was far more entertaining if you ask me. We’ve got the rest of the season set up and I’m looking forward to both season arc and standalone episodes!

The Lube Diaries 

9 Women Get Real About Lube

FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM @UNBOUNDBABES

Many of us overlook lube as a factor in the sexual equation, whether it’s during a masturbating sesh or sex with a partner/s. There is still a sense of shame, particularly among women, when it comes to lube. Lots of us are afraid of being labeled as sexually deficient or simply “not into it” if we need or want to use lube during sex.

This fear is super fucking real, too, and it’s a result of lube-shaming. According to sex and relationship expert Dr. Jess O’Reilly, "lube-shaming erroneously suggests that if a woman is turned on, she'll get wet. But vaginal lubrication is controlled by the autonomic nervous system and is beyond our conscious control.” Basically, you can be super turned on, but totally dry, and vice-versa.

Personal lubricant exists for many reasons–the first being to reduce the dryness and irritation that is so often attributed to discomfort or pain during sex (particularly penetrative sex). It can be a game-changing aid for women who suffer from vaginal dryness (17% of women aged 18-50 experience problems with vaginal dryness).

But the best part about lube is that it’s not used solely for the purpose of combating discomfort. It can literally make sex better–physically and, as a result, mentally. In a 2011 study, 2,500 women used lubricant regularly over a 5-week period. Results show that the use of a water-based or silicone-based lubricant was associated with higher ratings of sexual pleasure and satisfaction for solo sex and penile-vaginal sex!

So it’s time to reshape the lube narrative. To begin, we asked nine women of sex-related and non sex-related professions the question: “What is your relationship like with lube?”

Rachel Gelman, DPT, PT:

Lube is always a great idea. Although, the type/quality of lube matters. Ideally you want a lube without parabens, glycols, microbicides, and preservatives. Ideally you want a lube that is similar to your body's pH. A healthy, happy vagina has a pH of 3.8-4.5 and the rectum is around 7.0, so you want a lube that matches or is a slightly higher pH than your natural environment. Lack of lubrication or vaginal dryness can contribute to or cause pain with sex. Adding lubrication may not address the underlying cause, such as a hormonal imbalance, but it can definitely help decrease the symptoms. Depending on what data you look at ~40% of women under 60 report sexual dysfunction and up to 60% of women will experience pelvic pain, I can't say what percentage is due to lack of lubrication, but if someone is having pain with sex adding in a lubricant may help and most likely won't make it worse, unless someone uses a poor quality lubricant.

I think lube should be used when engaging in any type of sexual activity, including masturbation and when using sex toys. Be mindful that if you are using condoms  (which most people should because safe sex is the best sex) to use a water-based lubricant as oil-based lubricant can degrade the latex.

I think there is a stigma around lubricant, and people think they shouldn't need it and if they do something is "wrong" with them. I always think of that scene in the movie Superbad where Jonah Hill makes fun of Michael Cera's character for having lube because the girls "are young" and won't need lube. Also, some people have had bad experiences with lube, it irritated them or they had a bad reaction to it, and again that may have been due to using a lubricant that wasn't good quality. I always recommend patients try different kinds, so I am always giving an array of samples or having patients go to Good Vibrations, where they have a large selection in sample sizes for people to try.

The World Health Organization, also has a nice chart that shows the different lubes and their pH/osmolarity.

Sloane Steel, writer:

When I was first having sex at the ripe ol' age of 15 (sorry, Mom!) I never used lube. Actually, I didn't end up using lube until well into my 20's. I thought lube was for anal sex or women who needed help producing lubrication on their own. It wasn't until I actually tried anal that I realized lube was FREAKING AMAZING.

Lube made EVERYTHING feel way better. Lube made everything feel more sensitive and I enjoyed sex SO much more once I brought my lube friends into the game. Now I consider myself a lube aficionado. I mean, I don't exactly need to buy a 55-gallon drum of it on Amazon (that exists...for what? I dunno but the reviews are incredible.) But I definitely use it almost every time I have sex because, why the hell not? I personally like sex to feel like a Slip n' Slide.

Scientwehst:

I don’t really remember a time when I thought, “if I use lube I’m sexually deficient.” In fact, I’m the lube queen [ha]. With guys, I would always suggest bringing out the coconut oil or some lotion to do a proper HJ. Lube just makes sex more enjoyable all around. No matter how wet you start off in the beginning, after a long session of intercourse, you’re bound to get dry and with dryness comes irritation. I actually dislike using spit for lube. I know, It sounds vanilla, but I just think its gross to have to hock spit every time for lubrication. Imagine a night out partying, with partying comes drinking, smoking, eating, etc. Then you head back to your house, you're ready to hook up and the guy just spits on you. Just feels bacteria ridden lol. Our mouths are dirty! Also, with clitoral stimulation, how many times do I need to spit on my fingers when I could just use a little scoop of coconut oil, one time. It smells good, it tastes good, the consistency is perfect, and it helps prevent yeast infections. What’s better than that?

Zoe, photographer:

for a long time i didn't understand why sex hurt so much for me. even when it felt "good" it didn't feel "great" and growing up i didn't have the safest experience with sex so subconsciously i think it has affected how my body works during arousal. it takes a lot for me to get wet and even when i do i'm not like a faucet dripping with cum as these rappers would say (lol.) when i first started using lube i was with my partner for awhile and it was something we both knew made everything more enjoyable not only for me but for her as well. in the beginning i did have some feelings of insecurity having to pull out a third party during sex and even now i battle stigmas within my own thoughts that come along with using lubricant, especially when sleeping with new people but for the most part i'm at a place where i don’t internalize any shame with using lube.

i think there's a lot of roadblocks when it comes to female pleasure and the ridicule of using lube is one of 'em. even if you are someone who gets really wet on your own there's no harm in exploring lubricants. some have cooling sensations, some warm it up down there, some even have thc in them (highly recommend). using lube has made me a more explorative person when it comes to my sex life because i'm always popping into local sex shops to cop some and i end up looking at other things along the way.

Elle Stanger, Podcast Host, Sex and Relationship writer:

I spent four years helping customers pick out and purchase lubricants while I worked in adult retail shops, and I recognized that many of our buyers exhibited shame or discomfort around their purchase. I've even heard women exclaim, "I don't NEED that", as if wanting if the purchase of lubricant was indicative of some kind of inadequacy. It's no surprise really, much of our society measures arousal by how "big or hard" erections are, and how "wet and tight" vaginas and vulvas are.

There are lots of reasons that people like to use lubricant: Did you know that prescription medication dries out some vulvas? So does stress, sickness, or just your own genetics can determine how much natural lubricant a person's body makes on it's own. Besides, it's fun! People with penises and vaginas can play with silicone lube, waterbased lube, flavored, all-natural, there are so many options and many of them are body safe and ethically sourced. I like to vary my activities and the addition or subtraction of different kinds of stimulation with toys or lubes makes for a diverse and creative sex life.

@Falkyou, web app developer, cybersecurity ms candidate, model:

There is a stigma that exists around lube that if you need it then you’re unfortunately just not a well-oiled car. In theory, this sounds legit because we lack proper sex education in our society. However, in reality, lube is the savior you’ve been waiting on to take your experience to the next level.

This is because not only does lube help cancel out friction but it is an enhancement to whatever activity in which you’re currently partaking. It has properties that have the potential to create sensations the body alone cannot - like an icy feeling. It’s like you can drive a Ford on the reg but if you had the chance to drive a Lambo for a few extra dollars you just wouldn’t pass that up.

@shesvague:

Whatever you need to use to have a wonderful and enjoyable sexual experience, use it. Don’t ever feel ashamed. Always do what’s best for your mind body and soul.

If lube is a staple in your sex life, amazing! If it’s not, amazing!

I love lube and I find it really enhances sex and gives me ultimate pleasure. But I don’t always need it, it’s if I choose to and want to. Isn’t that what we all truely want from sex? For our minds to be blown and our bodies to be sent into another dimension? I certainly do.

You can never go wrong with a bit of extra lubrication.

Halle:

I think lube and the proper use of it should be taught in sex education. When I was in high school, there was so much myth around the use of lube that no really knew how to use it and probably still don’t. Haha.

Millie (IG: @milliesykess):

In the earlier, more confused years of my sexual exploration the thought of mentioning lube was pretty mortifying. To me, the suggestion of lube screamed ‘Not good enough! You’re dryer than the Sahara desert down there! He needs use tube juice to fix all that is wrong with you and your malfunctioning parts..pathetic!’. Unfortunately, I hadn’t gaged that my parts were working just fine, he just didn’t quite know how to operate them.

Now, I keep a bottle handy in my top drawer at all times. If I feel the slightest chafe, or if i’m just in the mood to get slippery I’m opening that drawer. It’s an awesome bedside companion, an aid for me rather than a symbol of my sexual inadequacy.
