I wonder how the act 3 ending affected the party. or how it even happened since bonnie loops. love the au so much btw i rotate it in my mind at least twice a day

I am going to assume you mean the king quest! It is a very fair question, yes it is a very emotionally taxing ending!

In Switch a Loop, this quest is super long. So long, it gets two memories for it! And admittedly, it makes me sad to think about it! This is the part of the game where it gets real, the only time that different put Bonnie in danger...

But, it's basically something like this...

v King Quest spoilers / child death v

You see, it is actually Bonnie's Idea to try and talk the king! This would take right after "Memory of Sailing", so the other three aren't really that jazzed to continue. However, Bonnie thought differently...

You may have notice, Bonnie has gotten pretty protective of Siffrin as these Loops gotten by. Be anounced to everyone, they have taken it as their personal responsibility to "Look out" for Sif. There is little voice in their head telling Bonnie that this is something that needs be done. Afterall, the king won't shut up about it! That this has to lead somewhere! Bonnie is not stupid. They just want this to stop, they don't want to see their family get hurt anymore. It's just all too familiar. It hurts too much.

So, without the party knowing, they convince Siffrin to talk to the king. And it goes as well as it did in the original game.

And Bonnie still isn't fast enough...

Mirabelle would be a mess as it happens, unable to say any words.

Isabeau would try his best to pleaded with the king, in his chest knowing that it won't change his mind.

Odile would command the king to stop. Possibly still try to use her craft in her weakened state.

Bonnie would be terrified. Of course they would be! They are just a child, a kid! They would think about a lot of things, they would think about Nellie too... They would cry and cry and cry.

And... Well...

It ends with a powerful, terrified, near-deafening scream...

Right.

Out.

Of.

Siffrin's.

Mouth.

...

And a Crunch.

...

The party gets "Memory of Loss".

The party is sick of these loops, all of them.

They are exhausted.

They are scared.

They want to stop.

...

Well.

At least, they have a new lead.

Eldritch/not-entirely-human Grunkle Stan stories have been eating away at my brain, so I have a silly little concept of Mimic!Stan.

He and his Mystery Shack are both mimics that lure tourists in as a literal "tourist trap" to gather and devour them! Since the house is alive, it raises a few (read: several) child safety concerns that lead to a LOT of rules to be created for Dipper and Mabel to follow when they eventually arrive, such as:

Be careful not to get lost in the winding hallways! The Mystery Shack is bigger on the inside, and you don't want to end up in the wrong areas.

Don't go through randomly appearing doors, they may eat you.

If you think you feel the walls around you breathing and the floor beneath you shifting, no, you don't.

If you think the walls feel a bit damp, you're imagining it.

Watch your fingers around windowsills! You wouldn't want to lose any of them.

Don't linger too long under the doorframes; it may start feeling like they are slowly constricting around you.

I made this AAAAGES ago and forgot to post it and now I'm annoyed by how it's rotting away on my phone so here. Bratty teen Thancred being a menace to Fourchenault (and a bad influence on Urianger lol)

I've been watching Hazbin Hotel in prime. Just watched episode 5 and I gotta ask

Why, oh, WHY DON'T I SEE MORE PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT "MORE THAN ANYTHING" WHEN TALKING ABOUT THE HAZBIN HOTEL MUSIC???

Like I get it, the song before it "Hell's Greatest Dad" Is a bop reminiscent of other music from the era its parodying. I loved it.

BUT why are you only putting clips of that song when this MASTERPIECE comes a few minutes after

I honestly don't even know where to begin with this song. The visuals are beautiful, especially when we get moments like this where you can just see the absolute LOVE this man has for her daughter is so sweet and Heartwarming I just-

The voices are fenomenal but what else can you expect from the broadway talents of Erika Henningsen and Jeremy Jordan.

There is also the whole Symbolism with passing the baton to the next generation and stuff. I- I can't even get into the specifics right now Im too emotional.

But above all else THE LYRICS

ESPECIALLY THAT LAST ONE

"I'M GRATEFUL YOU ARE MY DAUGHTER/FATHER MORE THAN ANYTHING"

DO YOU WANT ME TO CRY?? CAUSE I AM. I AM BAWLING MY EYES OUT RIGHT NOW.

It's just so fucking beautiful man. Probably the best song I will hear all year. Obviously my favorite from Hazbin.

Till's piece from the event is a very honest depiction, but I want to examine it in more detail since it looks so interesting.

For one, I find the headpiece confusing, I was hesitant on this point in the last post I made covering this I assumed the headpiece Till is wearing (separate from the headphones) was this device.

There isn't even a name for that device, but it's been theorized that it serves a similar function have the collars pet humans have, but affects the pet humans in some way.

I believe it's a behavioral management device since there is an emphasis on the brain when it's shown. And just based on the design itself. I think the purpose of it is similar to a shock collar.

Till in this environment looks familiar, he has that focused expression that he always has when he's writing music, like he's in a daze. Since this is a practice in a controlled environment I think he might actually be handling an instrument this time around (hence the headphones). Till has a natural passion for music, the environment of Anakt Garden also appears more calm than what he goes through with Urak so he looks very much in his element.

But despite how calm, and focused he looks outwardly, his collar shows orange.

Till is giving with his expressions even around the aliens, so if he was feeling bad (I would suspect as much seeing the fresh experiment patches..) I believe it would look more obvious, but the difference threw me off a bit. I could be reaching (definitely) But given how unruly his behavior can be, and how much effort the aliens are putting into finding ways to subdue him I think they used that device to mellow him out so that they could properly monitor him.

The collar being orange gives me the impression that he's not as calm as he looks but the headpiece is keeping him in a 'sedated' state(?)

Red - Condition in the negatives, energy depleted, feeling bad. overall horrible state.

Orange, yellow - to a lesser extent, more like if you're feeling skittish, nervous, (think of this mode as feeling under the weather)

Green - Good, calm, happy, normal and a healthy mode.

(Translation by kh47uo on Twitter)

This behavior could also show desensitization, as he had likely been conditioned to not be phased nor show weakness in front of the aliens even if he feels bad, a way of tolerating. But this is just me trying to make sense of whatever that head gear was... he could've also been sedated beforehand (banging my head against the concrete)

Also interesting to me that we weren't shown Till doing other things, like dancing, or singing. I think it's a testament to Anakt's (And Urak's) priorities as they have Till build on his music skills, his strongest skill. It's probably because that's all he has to offer is his music (His grades in every other subject are a mess.). So building that to its greatest potential before anything is important. But it's a reminder of the situation, he's not so intense about his craft because of his inclination to it. He doesn't make music simply because he likes it, he does it because it's what he has to do to survive. Despite doing what he is naturally driven to do, he looks like he has had his life drained out of him.

Urak (the bastard) knows that for sure. Appearances, and 'decent' skills can get you far but overwhelming passion and skill can put you farther above all the rest, it's exactly why Luka is the best in his league, and why Urak pushes Till to his limits to surpass that even with such destructive means.

hey mollie!! does adventuring pay well? or is it like a hobby? i assume it doesn't cost cheap to start adventuring..

... maybe not as much as you might be thinking? Money isn't a big problem in our world, and the folks in charge of safety make sure equipment and supplies are easily accessible and available even if we start out with nothing anyway. Making sure people don't starve lost in the woods is generally a big safety concern, so they deal with stuff like that.

Adventuring by itself makes barely a feather - but doing things like gathering herbs, berries, and cool rocks helps! Salem's a huge help - since I can go and get a bunch of potion ingredients for them, they're willing to do all the trading with materials for money for me!

Really, that's the main point of it. If you've got friends helping you out, the small details like that become a non-problem. Getting into adventuring is really a question of bravery, risking flight and feather to dangerous environments and awkward conversations both.

After careful thought...

I am now convinced RVB is, in a nutshell at its core, two twenty year long dimetric slowburn romance tropes comprised of viewing each from the lens of 'I'd die for you/I'd live for you' while accounting for the repercussions of those choices on the lives of those around them while also examining at the same time the 'Inability to let go/ever start' and how it ultimately locks your mind in a perpetual state of 'What if?' without taking the risk of DOING all by asking the simple fucking question

Ever wonder why we're here?
