Poor Law. I wonder what his chemical of choice is, because he for sure needs to take a chill pill, and lay in the dark after dealing with those idiots all day 😅

This time I'm really gonna do it!!!! (finish my fucking animatic)

idea. since askdusttale answered an ask about where dust got his determination from (because dust has SOME determination just so he can remember the timelines and keep going against the human) and said it was totally up to personal interpretation on how he got his determination. so so so like what if what if dusttale's player did something similar to something new's player and changed dust's code to give him determination??? so dust and killer COULD BOTH had their codes tampered with??? the parallels would be INSANE. they both started off as sans and got their codes tampered with by the player but dust and killer went on two opposite paths. dust out of his own voalition decided to go against the human but killer had to team up with the human no choice at all. the opposite parallels go CRAZY oh god im tweaking

killer doesn't know exactly (since i forgot whether or not he can see codes or something like that. i swear there was an image of him describing fell and swap's code and then his own) but he can SENSE that something's off. something's different about dust that he doesn't quite know about. maybe it gets him to ask a bunch of questions that dust is definitely not open to answering because jesus man mind your own damn business but the question that really sets killer off is the way dust answers when he asks "so if you have determination then how did you get it?" and dust just shrugs his shoulders and said that one day he suddenly remembered the resets and then that's when he got it (and then goes back to mumbling to phantom paps or wtvr) and killer's just like. zomg. a sudden change in behavior or mentality that seemingly has no apparent reason related to the human???? like like like when he suddenly had to agree with the player despite literally never wanting to????? killer is over thinking the implications behind this

meanwhile dust is just annoyed now because killer keeps on following him. he keeps asking him strange questions. wtf why is the guy asking to see his SOUL that's incredibly personal???? he just wants to be left alone man he has no idea what's going on

Uh oh. Something I read about St. Faustina the other day is haunting me, and it's nothing related to the more mystical side of her life.

It's that she wrote something in a journal about how there was a woman (not sure if it was another nun) who loved Faustina dearly as a friend and was constantly coming to see her. And Faustina did not like her as much as this woman liked her. She found her annoying and wished she would come less often. But she decided never to let on, and just keep being friendly and patient with this lady, as an imitation of Christ's love.

And that is fantastic, and a great example, and honestly I could stand to imitate her with the way I treat a few people in my own life.

But it's also latched on to the part of my brain that overthinks friendship, and every time I interact with someone it's there whispering, "I'm being that lady and my friend is being Christlike to me." Which is likely enough, and much to their credit, but it's also kind of rotten and doesn't help with the whole 'being normal and chill' thing.

Imagine crawling under the Horned King's robe to cuddle with him ... It doesn't necessarily have to be a sexual situation (though it could possibly lead to that if you're both up to it - I mean does he even wear anything else underneath there?👀), but could also simply be a tender moment of both physical and emotional closeness.

Author's note: This was originally supposed to be an imagine at best or simply just me yelling out my thoughts about the Horned King, but somehow it kind of accidentally turned into a short story. Things you do at 5am I guess. This man probably has to much control over my mind at this point (not that I'm complaining).

The Horned King x Reader - Cuddling under his robe

It's cold this evening, though this is not something particularly unusual. The wind is howling around the walls of the castle, and you're snuggling a little closer to the Horned King as you're resting in your shared bed together. You feel his grip around your waist tighten ever so slightly, when suddenly an idea sparks up in your mind. Maybe there is an even better way to escape the cold than just pressing yourself up against him ...

He tilts his head, but doesn't say anything yet when you wriggle yourself out of his embrace and crawl towards the foot of the bed. You hesitate for a moment, but eventually decide to lift the hem of his robe.

"What are you doing, my dear?"

You can hear mild confusion in his voice, and stop in your motion for a moment, one of your hands pulling up the fabric a little while the other is resting on his calf.

"Just trying to escape the cold ..."

With that, you lean forwards and start crawling under the king's robe. The thick fabric holds off any light, so you let your hands follow the contours of his body as you move upwards, careful not to put your weight onto him in an uncomfortable way. You can feel a smile forming on your face as you finally stick your head through the collar - which luckily is wide enough to fit both of you.

"I thought it might be warmer underneath here, and I have to say that I'm not disappointed. But I also just wanted to be close to you ..."

The Horned King's gaze turns soft - over time you've learned to read his more subtle facial expressions - , and when you lean forwards a little to press a kiss onto his lipless mouth, you can feel him eagerly reciprocate the motion, to the best of his abilities at least. He lets out a content sigh as you rub your nose against his cheek and wraps his arms around you, resting his hands on your back. You allow your body to relax completely as you lay down on top of his own, and although he's not giving off any body warmth, you relish the feeling of being pressed up against his bare skin.

"This is perfect ..."

You mumble as you're nuzzling your face into his neck. Your eyelids are starting to get heavier as he gently rubs your back, and a yawn escapes you.

"Rest now, my dear."

Your king's soothing voice still reaches you as your consciousness starts to drift off into the shadows.

"Rest well. I will not be going anywhere right now ..."

I’m sticking with the idea that DS2 themes are going to be the inversion of the themes in the first game so here are some of my predictions for characters in the game:

Sam — becomes more self-oriented i.e. more absorbed in his own personal quest rather than duties given to him by other people, his ‘neglect’ of other people could start bringing America apart again, he also draws more away from his companions and the living in favour of chasing ‘ghosts’ i.e. Lou and becomes more drawn to the dead.

Higgs — ‘the saviour’, instead of mass ‘mercy-killings’, nihilism, and attempting to tear America apart, he’s trying to preserve life and build connections (possibly switching roles with Sam—they seem to be foils in the first game) and has started to focus less on the suffering humans endure but rather that they’re resilient enough to survive it and carry on.

Fragile—twist villain, in the first game she was probably one of Sam’s biggest allies, she might not need him anymore and could possibly see him as getting in the way of her ‘true goal’ (whatever it could be) and try to get rid of him in some way, essentially becoming Higgs, the person she sought revenge against for the same thing he did to her, and in turn Higgs becomes one of Sam’s close allies.

Amelie—instead of creating a mass extinction she now wants to help preserve human life after Sam convincing her to delay the Death Stranding yet people are mistrustful of her due to past actions and push her away, further isolating her, in the first game she acted as a magnet for people and tried to bring everyone together but now she’s inadvertently pushing them further apart.

Lou—in the first game she acted as an anchor for Sam to gradually connect with other people and get more involved with their lives, here she might be the thing that tears him away from them back into isolation and closer to the dead.

I don't know if it's just me, but hearing the word "wholesome" makes me want to painfully contort. Am I even allowed to say this?

[angeart]

i have a long hhau post ready but it includes about ~3k words worth of rp snippets where some parts (multiple!!) are blatantly [REDACTED] for reasons and... i worry that might be annoying?

i know i was ultimately asked and enabled to release the teases, and that we go into this knowing there are parts i'm unwilling to share at this time, for plot/spoiler reasons but... i still kind of want to make sure that it's okay.

[desertduality]

life is wild I can just be hanging out existing and suddenly get slammed with the most intense bout of loneliness ever. like okay i'm in the middle of eating string cheese can we not do this now

[orcelito]

Yet again hindered by the "this reply is hidden because you have the user blocked" message. It has me Almost wondering whether I'd be better off not blocking so many people. So that I can freely be a nosy bitch.

Almost, but not quite. My block list is for my sanity, after all.

So, I know I rambled about this a little in tags, but I want to talk about this.

The Curse acts different with MK.

So, how the Curse is said to work is it will force the people it ensnares to relive their past mistakes over and over again. And it does that. We see it with Tang, Pigsy, and Sandy in how they're trapped in their past lives and relive that (and they remember it, too, at the least), and both see the broken memories Wukong was reliving and get a direct statement from him that that's what happened. There was no Ink Tang, Ink Pigsy, or Ink Sandy. I'll talk about Ink Wukong in a second.

But when it came to MK? The only past memory that was "relived" in any sense was Ink MK (I'm going to call him MinK for simplicity, and because I like it) quoting LBD and MK's own mind filling in the blank.

The Curse shifted into MK's monkey form and talked to him, taunted him, did all of that, but only for MK, and nobody else. The only other person that it does this to is Wukong, but only when he interrupts MinK already in that form. This also seems to end after MK leaves.

Tang, Pigsy, Sandy, and Wukong all went through the "reliving their mistakes" thing Azure said it was supposed to do. But for some reason, with MK, it didn't, even though MK has no shortage of regrets to pull on.
