I have recently been obsessing about the Stanley parable… so I’m making it everyone’s problem!

I made my own lil narrator- I already luv him so much just- AAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Edit: ignore spelling mistakes if there are any- English isn’t my first language and I’m kinda sick right now, not being able to think 100% clearly aqkbawjwbaj

Unusual, but maybe not in a bad way

Eddie's shoes might look good, but they were never a good choice for summer rains. He kept forgetting that and letting the reality of his fashion choices hit him hard in the face. Or knees.

The bus had a moving plate in the middle that usually wasn't a problem but today wasn't usual. Today the rain was pouring and Eddie's phone was at 15% because he had been too lazy to plug it in before falling asleep. So today he had to switch seats to one next to a charging port and as he was making the short voyage, a few things aligned perfectly to make today unusual, and in a bad way.

The rotating plate was wet from the rain.

The soles of his shoes had no grip.

The bus turned left.

"Shit."

Eddie gathered himself off the wet floor, cursing his shoes, the weather, and the throbbing pain in his knee. Without looking up he fell heavily into the seat that was his destination, afraid of the amused stares he might catch. His dignity? Gone. His pants? Well, they were torn already anyway so one new hole didn't make much difference. His knee? Bleeding, apparently. As he rubbed his knees, one of his hands came out red. He groaned.

"Of fucking course." He just had to hit something sharp on the usually safe and relatively smooth surface. 

When he was reaching to plug in his phone, someone grabbed the pipe just above the USB port. Eddie looked up and found a man looking down at him. He also realized the golden frames of his glasses complimented his hazelnut eyes beautifully.

"You should clean this up," the man said instead of making fun of him or asking if he was okay. No, he was holding out a packet of wet wipes like some kind of saint.

Eddie hesitated for a moment but while his dignity might be gone, the gorgeous man in front of him wasn't. He took the offered wipe.

"Thanks," he murmured, wiping the cut and the surrounding skin, cleaning off sand and blood.

The man dropped a backpack on the vacant seat next to him. Eddie eyed the pins attached to it; a couple of dinosaurs, a Hufflepuff crest, ‘protect trans kids’, and… a bisexual flag. Score.

"Pirates, Hello Kitty or dinosaurs?"

"Huh?"

"Band-aid," the man clarified, shaking a small tin can he fished out of his backpack. "I work with kids," he added like it explained everything. Well, it kind of did. Upon opening, the tin revealed an assortment of colourful band-aids.

Eddie hummed in thought, considering his choices.

"Dinosaurs."

"Good choice," the man praised with a smile, probably the same one he showed to the kids. Was he a teacher? Because suddenly all the teacher-student porn scenarios gained a new appeal. Where skimpy pencil skirts didn’t work on Eddie, a soft green jumper just might, apparently.

The man handed him a dino band-aid, apparently expecting him to apply it himself. Well, of course. They were two strangers on a bus, after all.

Disappointed, he put it on the cut, missing the amused tilt of the teacher's lips.

"Do you need anything else? I have some candy; lollipops, gummies…" The man flipped through the contents of his bag.

"Gummies?" Eddie's interest was piqued.

"They have colourful fillings and a tiny dragon on each wrapper," he advertised, offering him a small baggie to choose from. Again, his tone reminded him of an adult talking to a kid. This shouldn't be working on him as well as it was.

"Can I have two?" he asked, looking up into these stunning brown eyes. The level difference was not helping. Has he not sat down on purpose? To tower over poor Eddie's tiny metal heart?

The man smiled as he took a quick conspiratorial look around.

"You can even have three, just don't tell my kids," he whispered

"I ain't a snitch!" he assured and picked up two green candies and an orange one. Because red flavours belonged in the trash.

Or apparently in the plush mouth of a handsome stranger, since he picked one of those for himself. Maybe Eddie didn't hate them that much, after all. He could make an exception. Especially if he could taste them the fun way.

"You sure you don't want a lollipop? Water? Extra band-aid?"

Eddie shook his head adamantly but had a nagging feeling the man was stalling. His gaze dropped to the flag badge, giving him an instant shot of courage.

"Your number?"

The soft teacher's smile turned sly, and he knew he took the right step. His metal heart thumped in his chest, the sound resonating against his ribs. What a fun feeling.

"Better hurry up, my stop is next."

Eddie nearly dropped his phone in his haste to put in the string of numbers.

"What do I…?" he asked when the empty ‘name’ box stared at him from the screen.

"Steve," the man offered, just in time for the bus to stop. The doors swung open, and he was gone, but while the physical distance between them grew, Eddie now had the comfort of having him in the palm of his hand, hidden behind a number.

>> Thanks for the candy! 🖤 - Eddie

I wish I can do DA blogging right now but gosh— I really wished to enjoy this game really want to be mentally fulfilled I do. I was not even that mad about past worldstates not importing when we found out about that, and I’m still not too frustrated now, but I suppose… the game has the one flaw that I never expected a DA game to have?

Of all the bad things I expected and accepted a DA game to be I never expected it to… placate me? Soothe me? Like, to repeatedly hammer into me a message about friendship and trying to assuage me that I’m doing well, which all should have been given to me in context instead of straight from Varric’s mouth! Or how they keep telling me it’s just all the same 2 evil gods (or other, evil, FANTASY forces) and it’s ok if I have negative consequences to my actions bc I tried my best? Thank you I KNOW. But why is everyone in the world acting like they need to baby me.

They have a very interesting theme of well-meaning people doing irreversible harm when they’re in a position of help or when they *put* themselves in position of help and they have to live with the consequences, but like… the only part where that has happened to me was… the prologue. On that note I adore negative consequences but I dont think Treviso vs. Minrathous should’ve been on my head, given that we split the team in 2 during that mission… So idk, the place where negative consequences should’ve mattered doesn’t feel earned, so now i don’t even know what the heck this game is trying to say because if it’s “power bad small people good revolution good” then there are plenty of other games doing that message in so much better ways.

I’ve only just finished facing Elgarnan at the Arlanthan Forest for the first time so idk if this game has something else in store. But if the game still intends to drop the other shoe then they better do it fast bc my hope is wearing thin…I suppose in Solas’ quote, this game has “faults that I find most objectionable”. 😕

i know jounouchi is poor but seeing people put dirty and worn shoes in pinterest boards for him still irks me i cant help it

like he is a sneaker head he would take good care of his shoes! and tbh just in general i dont think he would let his clothes get into such disrepair or be too dirty because he seems to really care how he's percieved and clothes are a part of that, i mean hes the one who takes yugi aside to tell him not to wear his school uniform on the weekends even though yugi doesnt seem to care about how it looks

even if he cant get the fanciest clothes all the time, in my mind he seems like he'd be very aware of them and how they're holding up, my boys more aware of himself then people give him credit for

luo binghe better than me fr i think i would've gone fucking apeshit if the person i loved with my entire soul pretty much said "fuck you" because of my race and pushed me down into literal hell for me to suffer for years

i've said it before and i'll say it again, i really don't think we give binghe enough credit. that man was on concerning levels of forgiving all the way from the start

getting really tired of certain bg3 players taking one look at the origin characters, deciding that based on first impressions they dont like them, refusing to engage with any of the storylines that make these characters dynamic and compelling, and then going online and saying “actually this character sucks and you shouldn’t like them”

like no wonder you don’t like them, you literally haven’t engaged with the fucking narrative. no wonder you see them as one dimensional, because you stopped looking for any dimensions after seeing one thing you didn’t like.

but congrats. yup you figured it out. the facade these characters put up in act one before you get to know them is actually exactly who they are in their entirety.
