Absolutely losing my mind over Scar’s stream today
He was already talking to Etho while catching ocelots
Joel logs in and Scar immediately asks if Etho wants to go visit him
We get so many Etho lore crumbs (although he doesn’t fully confirm anything except having stubble and trying to get rid of 2 extra house generators)
They hang out for like 2 hours doing nothing hut chatting
Eventually Scar leaves but forgot that he left his ocelots at Etho’s because he was so excited about boat boys that he never brought them home
#ethoslab#goodtimeswithscar#smallishbeans#boat boys#hermitcraft#there was so much more as well and I already want to rewatch the streams bc ads kept trying to interrupt the lore#both joel and gem told etho they wanted a generator and he told them they had to pick it up but couldn’t tell them where#he also might live in the middle of nowhere off the grid and has to chop wood for electricity#he also may or may not have a phone but hinted at probably not#but somehow managed to get fast internet#to be clear none of what he said surprised me one bit#he also retold the same story of his voice being recognized so is that still the only time#i find it hard to believe but also he is probably the closest to an actual hermit irl of anyone on the server

Hey so I did actually make a little primer for any of you interested in learning about hockey :) It covers the basic rules and pretty much goes in order of the bare minimum you'd need to know to understand what's going on. It does not include propaganda for convincing you to watch hockey. There's a final section I'll keep expanding on that's just personal enjoyment, and maybe I'll put propaganda there, but the actual meat focused on explaining how to watch the game is all completed and hopefully actually useful :)!
#hockey#it's very broad strokes but the beauty of hockey is like. its got minutae but really you don't need to know about that to watch a game#covered here are like. what are the different positions? why are players going back and forth instead of just forward? why did play stop?#i will think about adding to it if theres something people want added and otherwise just generally ill take questions BUT as stated in the#primer i am noooooot qualified to actually really teach anyone in depth about hockey lmao so truly!!! you may have more mileage just trying#to find an answer yourself!#that said. its genuinely a really fun game and super easy to watch. you could literally stop at the 4th slide and do fine lmao#and that's really the first slide in terms of content. truly#the rest just makes some stuff clearer#anyway CHECK OUT HOCKEY#this does not include any rpf or team propaganda though the final for fun section is probably going to eventually have just a lot of like.#fun facts. currently its just a slide that says hockey players are really fucking stupid

guys i think vegito is really bad at naming things
#dbz#dragon ball#dragon ball z#db#dokkanbattle#vegito#vegetto#gogeta#sorry you guys had to find out i play dokkan this way.#this may be too niche. but heres some added context in case you dont play the game#these recently released gogeta/vegito units have attacks and animations that are completely original to the game#and gogeta’s unit has a super attack name that is clearly more inspired than vegito’s.#vegito also has super attacks in dokkan named ‘vegito sword’ and ‘vegito combo’#therefore i have a headcanon that vegito is simply terrible at naming moves.#i think thats all the context i can add to make this understandable. everyone point and laugh at vegito#art

im criticizing a lot because i like the first game even for its faults. and cause theres a lot to like in this game and a lot i WANT to like
and also i looked up spoilers, cause i can only struggle so long before assuming im not gonna beat it but i still want to know what happens, and 2 is inextricably linked to 1 and retroactively effects the story so its super important if you care about 1 at all
#darkest dungeon#darkest dungeon 2#like i know everyone loathes to hear anyone complain about Video Game To Hard#especially on Intentionally Difficult Video Game#but idk just block me man#i know this is all crazy and insane what do you want from me#idk the games are ostensibly about failure and as someone whonhas obly ever been a failure that calls to me a lot#but the thing about being a failure is you dont actually....succeed at any thing ever#so the thing i find a lot of meaning in is kinda locked out for me also#it gets added to the mountain of the rest of em#maybe i shoukd play this series in the summer once i get more vitamin d#i may very well put a limit on myself after ive played more of 2

With Phone Guy month set to begin in 2 days, here's a quick overview...
You can do any prompt in any order.
You can repeat prompts; you can do the same prompt as many times as you like.
You can mix prompts.
You don't have to rigidly stick to the prompt; it's supposed to inspire not restrict.
NO AI generated anything.
You do not have to do all prompts.
You can start drawing for this event now. You could have started drawing for this event when I first posted the event.
You can use this as an excuse to pull some Faz-instructor art out of your backlog pile of stuff that you have drawn but not publicly posted (if you can match it to a prompt).
Please state what prompt(s) you are using in any given drawing, whether it be a verbal "I am using prompts x and y" or tagging (see later for tag format).
Any of FNAF's human mentors are accepted, so Phone Guy, Phone Dude, and Tape Girl (Kim too, but she's generally considered one of the Phone Guys anyway so should be obvious).
You can use any design for these characters that you have permission to use! You can use your own AU, a friends AU, any personas your Faz-instructor may portray, any digital avatars they may assume control over, a funger inspired moonscorched form, anything as long as it's clear from either the art or description! As long as it's clearly identifiable from description or art that it is one of FNAF's human mentors, go nuts! For "this is what they look like in this scenario" (such as a disguise that alters their appearance beyond recognition or a moonscorch), the description should clear that up. For being a part of another non-Faz-Instructor character (such as a Tape Girl controlled glitchtrap or a stuffed phone guy), it must be portrayed in the art in some identifiable way.
You can keep posting for this after August is over; nobody will stop you.
Things tagged for Phone Guy Month will be rebloged to this blog, so for ease of be being able to find and sort it:
Tag what you make with "PhoneGuyMonth2024", like this post and the other Phone Guy Month announcement posts so that I can find it.
You can tag the prompt too if you want using 'prompt number - prompt name', eg "17 - Springlocks". I will tag what I reblog in this way.
If you want an edge-case clearing up, send in an ask (Return Call). There is no such thing as a stupid question.
#phoneguymonth2024#fnaf#fnaf phone guy#phone guy#fnaf phone dude#phone dude#fnaf tape girl#edit; removed redundancy. I said “you can repeat prompts” in two points so I merged them into one.#edit; added Use whatever AU you want (provided the AU creator has given you permission) or any alternate forms your Faz-instrctor may take#sorry about the changes#i just want to make sure that people won't be confused so will be able to worry less about rules and more about the fun#I promise I'll stop changing it once August 1st rolls around#but before then I will update will all manner of edge-cases that my brain finds

I love learning new things at work
Like how men's pants have multiple measurements that are present in the size numbers(i.e. waist measurement - in-seam measurement - (possibly)outer-seam measurement)(plus the size numbers are the actual inch/cm size and not some arbitrary number) AND there are like a lot of different cuts available??? how did I not know this
i also learned that i r e a l l y have no idea what romantic love/attraction is?? and whether or not i experience it?!?
#why am i learning these things at work?????#like me my supervisor and a coworker(??) got on the topic of the definition of romantic love because coworker was like'something something#to me and supervisor went 'ha! he thinks youll get married'(/said in a very obvious [even to me] joking way~)#and i said >:0#'nuh uh!! i will too!!' then loudly whispered*you dont have to be ~in (romantic) love~ w/ someone to get married right?...*#supervisor:no there are plenty of loveless marriages#coworker:also tax benefits :)#me:nonoononomisunderstanding i would still be in love with the person just not in a romantic way...???#supervisor:well what do you define as romantic then?#me:...idunno...o_o#and thus started the conversation#ending up with me STILL not understanding and having no idea what to do#i went down a rabbit hole to find a definition of romantic love/attraction that i could understand in some way and found nothing#think i was (definitely) trying to find a def where i thought 'oh! i understand that because thats what I experience!!' and never found it#because i may or may not experience it...#i think im aroace#does anybody have any advice?? like maybe some good explainations of romantic love/attraction#or even their own experiences of aromanticism???#i desire words that make sense please#adding these tags so maybe more people can see this so i can get answers???>#arospec#aroace#aromantic#aromantism

"They brought up May too early!"
No, no, they haven't. It makes sense that Annabeth knows about May, or at least has an idea of what happened to her, and make no mistake; all she has is an idea and theory about May. She doesn't know the May Luke grew up watching or about the curse Hades put on the oracle of delphi or how and why that curse affected May. Non book viewers don't know what state May is currently in, this is just building up to her heartbreaking appearance in tlo, and it also raises the stakes of Rachel's arc between botl and tlo (worry and wariness from Percy and Annabeth regarding a mortal who can see through the mist as well as Rachel, just like May could, fear about what that could mean for Rachel). Also Luke, especially from Percy's pov from the end of tlt to nearly the end, is a villain. By introducing these elements of his past now, the full reveal will also help re- humanise Luke when it looks like he is lost forever. It will make everything hit so much harder.
#percy jackon and the olympians#percy jackson and the olympians spoilers#pjo series#pjo spoilers#pjo tv show#pjo#luke castellan#may castellan#hermes pjo#adding details like this earlier allows them to expand on it further in future#like adding chris so early was such a good shout!! seeing what happens to him during botl will hit so much harder now#him at the battle of manhattan seeing Kronos in Luke's body and then seeing Luke die or Hermes blessing Luke's body will hurt so much more#because we saw them bonded we saw them as brothers#i don't think its explicitly stated but at least in the show it doesn't seem like Hermes has claimed him to me#which could be an interesting arc to look at#they could do so much with the hermes cabin by expanding on chris and the stoll brothers especially which i hope they do#and they've already started by bringing Chris in early#i know it's a plot point that clarisse is who finds Chris because he shows up at her house#but him showing up at the stolls would be so interesting especially if he's claimed in front of them#and if hermes helped lead Chris to his brothers#it would also make Katie's suspicion of Travis in tlo more realistic#“he brought his brother who had joined kronos lost his mind in the labyrinth to camp because he showed up at his house'#it at least would make sense why she would at least question if travis is the spy#the consensus in the fandom is that Luke was the reason why Katie momentarily doubted travis#but luke had been gone for 4 years by that point & katie might never have been at camp with him#the Chris angle makes more sense & I think could be such an interesting arc in both botl & tlo

🎬: About Es being a past prisoner and the secret 11th prisoner in your AU. But advance apologies if I'm overstepping into your AU!
I had this idea from a story that pretty much did the same thing. Going off there are novels/manga on Milgram and there being another Es and their own prisoners running another Milgram (but differently) I imagine this Milgram projects has been going on for a while, and our Es was from a previous project who might have gotten the worst verdict (or the most spared out of everyone), and was given this final task as a warden for the next group of prisoners. This is why they so readily agreed and had their memories wiped for this Milgram project instead of being weary on a shady project on judging an almost crime, they've already been through this.
(BTW is it bad and worrying for one of our ten fav prisoners to be the next Es if this is legit...)
Anyway, that's why Es is in Milgram in your AU, I guess? And the lore drop that Kotoko picks up on them being the 11th prisoner, I can imagine her also talking to Kazui since he's a policeman to see if she could cross out any theories on who Es is (Did they look familiar. Possible missing child. Any cases to do with an almost crime by a child other than the 10 of them here). Kazui knows Kotoko wants to investigate, but reminds her that, like in their prison while the trial is on, the facilities they're in have high security too. They do have the freedom to move about, but still limited.
If they're trying to investigate Es, maybe Fuuta, Kotoko and Mikoto can try to do the hacking on the comp Mikoto's allowed to use to Photoshop some shots for the MVs and photos (Fuuta and Kotoko seem to be able to search up info they need I think...). Yuno, Mahiru and Muu can work on charming the staff to see if they can spill more deets on Milgram. Not sure how much the group can gather, but oh boy fun times in Milgram can turn into another sort of stress in this AU...
No worries!! Like I said before, this whole au has been a fun collaborative project, so there's no overstepping :) I am sorry I won't be writing a lot on the ending until we get more info, but that's just the perfectionist in me who doesn't want to be proven wrong 😅 Still, I love tossing around and digging into ending scenarios, I really love this!
Because that would make a lot of sense why they're so willing to subject themself to the whole experiment! They remember how tough their experience was, and are confident they can care for the new set of prisoners while doing their job. I'm imagining they get the opportunity to return as guard, and get to have a nice talk with their own guard first. Once they fully understand what it's like, they're know they can handle it and sign up. It adds a bit of drama, too, since they must have been really young committing their crime in order to complete a years-long experiment prior to this one. They would have been like 10? Oof. (Now I wanna see their three trial songs 👀)
And like you said, that also brings up the question of the new warden. Though I think it's based on verdict results, I can just picture Jackalope keeping an eye on everyone during filming. He studyies their interactions and personalities, keeping his own set of notes on who would make a good successor. (I'm not going to go through every character but there are pros to any choice, it's very fun picturing them all taking the job.) Haha, on the other hand, maybe the reason Kotoko keeps bringing up her role as Es' partner/bringer of justice is because she did discover the truth. She drops as many hints as possible so she can be chosen next 😅
Ooh, I love her working with Kazui on an investigation! The fact that eh may know details on recent crimes (and almost-crimes) is super fun to work with. He's the last person who's going to spill a secret, so the group could go several trials without realizing Kazui had actually heard all about their situation this whole time.
(Getting sidetrack for a sec, I'm suddenly realizing that he and Kotoko may have heard things about the crimes in canon, too. They're a bit unclear about how much time passed between the murders and arriving to Milgram, so maybe he heard some things. I don't know how well-connected Tokyo police departments are, but Yuno, Fuuta, Muu, and Shidou are all nearby. There's definitely a chance he caught word of the vigilante nearby, and she heard about the odd policeman's suicide. Both of them could have heard about the tragic housefire, the disgraced doctor, or horrible schoolgirl murder nearby.)
Anyway, I like that idea of Kazui wracking his brain for any similar cases. Though, if he had, Milgram may have had the foresight to wipe parts of his memory, too. Maybe he does end up using his call to reach out to Hinako and have her look into it from the outside. Sadly, Kotoko seems the type to sacrifice her personal call to reach out to a connection who can help as well. I'll have to think about how closely Jackalope monitors those calls, hm.
I'm going crazy over prisoner investigation team !! Kotoko and Fuuta had the online knowledge to find some good info, and Mikoto and Kazui seem like they'd have a huge network of people they can ask for info and favors from. Haha, I'm torn whether Mahiru would have flirting down to a science or if she'd refuse to do it since it wasn't real love 😂 Still, she's very good at reading people and could definitely help the others charm and bribe their way into some restricted areas. Amane and Haruka can also charm with their innocence/cuteness (though I'm not sure Amane would). Shidou seems very organized, he'd have a plan and backup plan and backup-backup plan ready, no matter what happens. I think it's even funnier, then if Milgram had run several experiments prior. Jackalope would think this was just another runthrough, and for the first time the ten subjects decided to organize together and Cause Problems.
I think there's a beautiful irony in a story featuring ten prisoners planning a jailbreak to save the prison guard...
#milgram#as always thank you for sending 🎬!! these are so fun and big brained ough#lol yeah a fun fact about me is im Such a stickler for canon even in aus like this#the pain of writing a mahiru x boyfriend fic and doing the whole thing without ever saying his name 💀#so i wrote the last chapter of the au as vague as possible so that it had a nice ending but i may go back to make things more accurate when#t3 ends and we (hopefully) find out who es is#i love that this eases some of the pain knowing that es knew exactly what they were getting into :')#and wont be too fucked up upon getting their memories back since they knew it was faked#while also adding extra angst that theyve been there for so long -- theyve spent so much of their childhood within milgram#i was just recently looking at that post about their character locations and had it all marked out on a map#i swear i dont just know that off the top of my head asdfsd#i never realized kazui and kotoko would have outside knowledge >:0#i really love that concept#between the ten of them they hit so many skill sets -- theyve got the brain and the brawn and the people skills#theyve got intimidation and innocence#theyve got the experience of 40yos and up-to-date kids#theyd be unstoppable -- rip jackalope 😂😂😂#lights camera sing your sins#ask

similarities between murder drones and wizards of once (that I can remember)
spoilers for both series, especially the later episodes of murder drones and all of wizards of once!
Okay, so ever since episode 3 of murder drones, I've noticed a few similarities between it and the wizards of once books by Cressida Cowell.
First, and the one that makes me the most insane, magic eyes. In wizards of once, Wish has an eye covered with an eye patch . That's her magic eye. Uzi from murder drones also has a magic eye. That's her solver eye she uses. Both characters use it in crucial moments, and in both stories, multiple characters have that power. Take not only Uzi, but also Nori, Yeva, or heck, even Cyn. In Wizards of once it's Wish and Perdita (minor character).
This segues us into: reincarnation
In Wizards of once, because of their powers, Perdita and Wish have multiple lives. When they die, they come back no matter the damage. (Fun fact every time Wish died it was because she got exploded by magic). They will die eventually, though. In murder drones, the disassembly drones are cloned frequently, but it can be argued that that's not true reincarnation. J coming back as Eldritch J is in the same vein, though. And when the solver drones die and turn into cores is also similar, but is more like a continuation of life.
The villain being able to control the main character is present in both series. Xar gets his hand controlled by the Kingwitch in Twice Magic, but is able to break free by tempting the Kingwitch with the witch killing sword. Uzi gets possessed by Cyn a few times but is able to overcome it by steeling her emotions.
One of my favorite comparisons is the character dynamics. Xar and Uzi are very similar with their brash personalities, but Uzi had a softer side that came out easier than Xar's did. Wish and N are pretty similar, but a combination between Wish and Xar would result in Uzi. And, both groups are a team of 3. Yes, I am forgetting about both V and Bodkin, but they are actually so dissimilar it would be better not to add them.
Moving on to... music. Technically, Wizards doesn't have music since it's a book... but Cowell likes writing songs into her books, and they are all narratively significant. For example, the song found at the end of book one is brought back up multiple times. Same goes for the song Encanzo sings in a flashback in book 2 which keeps getting called back to. Murder Drones has a soundtrack, obvs, but it also has lyrical songs. Such as FOREVER, which is narratively similar to the magic song from Wizards of Once. And best of all, Encanzo's song also has a comparison in Eternal Dream! Both are songs that can be seen as romantic in nature, both are sung by the perspective of a character who has gone through a TON of change, and both are brought back.
Even the way Uzi and N, and Wish and Xar meet is very similar. Uzi is sneaking out to get parts for the gun, and meets a murder drone, who she befriends after giving him short term memory loss. Xar is sneaking into Warrior territory to catch a Witch, and accidentally fights Wish and kidnaps her.
Last of all, the macguffin. This is the crucifix in episode 7 and the entire spell to get rid of witches. The plotlines base on this one item... which turns out to be a bust.
Some other miscellaneous comparisons:
Raven companions. Uzi in ep. 5 and Caliburn the whole 4 books.
Final battle at place of significance.
Random lore that has no reason except worldbuilding.
A large plotline taking place over 24 hrs - the whole book 1 and eps 5 - 8
No one died in the final battle. Technically, both Cyn and Caliburn die, but Cyn lives in Uzi now and Caliburn reincarnates whenever he dies.
