#it was so incredibly fun!!!!!

Honesty hour.

Just for fun, mash up Vice Versa and any other beloved show of yours. Then tell us about a headcanon for the characters meeting/interacting.

OH THIS IS SUCH A FUN QUESTION!!!!!!!!

and i actually don’t even have to think about the answer because i've got it as soon as i read your message: VICE VERSA AND WE ARE CROSSOVER. i know we are is not everyone’s cup of tea, and maybe it sounds weird that i would pick it for this out of all the shows i love, but listen. IT WOULD BE PERFECT!!!!!!

like hear me out.. i’ve always been just a little bit sad that while puen and talay got to befriend their universe’s version of up and aou, they never got to meet the equivalents of kita and fuse, because while technically they weren’t part of friend credits, they still played a big part in puentalay’s time as tess and tun, HOWEVER!!!!!! if we bring we are into the picture, then this issue is easily solved since aou, boom, and pepper played in both shows, AND we don’t even have to change things much to make it work, we just have to make tan from we are and tou from vice versa be the same person

so, after tan graduates in we are, he decides to apply his engineering degree to the movie industry and finds a job at behind the film bangkok company, where he first meets tup, and eventually talay and puen. then after a few months, tan brings them to peem’s place to meet his boyfriend and his other friends, which also fits perfectly into we are because it would keep the tradition of tan bringing people together. and like.. imagine puentalay seeing fang and beer for the first time!!!!! they know full well they’re not fuse and kita, and yet they can’t help feeling absolute giddy about it because somehow the universe brought them all together again!!!!! and also they were right, there definitely were something going on between aou and fuse because in this universe they are BOYFRIENDS!!!!!!!!!

and this is already getting too long so im gonna wrap it up, but honestly no one can convince me that puentalay (and tup) wouldn’t fit right in with the we are friend group. even leaving aside all the obvious parallels between puentalay and phumpeem, i just know that after two minutes of meeting each other talay would be in a corner with peem and q talking about art and colors while puen tries to answer everyone’s questions about being an actor and then somehow ends up in a fight about who has the best boyfriend. ALSO!!!!!!! fai and gyo bonding over being the only girls in the group and eventually getting together too

SORRY BUT THE VISION IS VISIONING

Still thinking about Gortash’s coronation and how smoothly he cuts a Durge off from their companions (and wishing we had a follow up with that)

The first words out of his mouth are that he cares about them- anybody else who remembers Durge has only distain for them, but not him- he’s happy to see them, he missed them, they’re his favorite assassin and he’s only glad to see them alive

And then he takes it a step further by providing insight into their past, something Ketheric refused to do for them- and Gortash isn’t dumb. He knows exactly how Durge’s companions will react, knows that he’s effectively outing Durge when he so easily could have pulled them to the side instead

And when their companions snap at them and refuse to look at them, Gortash is still smiling. Suddenly, he’s the nicest person in the room. Suddenly, everything is unstable and dangerous- but he likes you. He’s sitting there with open arms while the companions are rightfully so mad with Durge, but Gortash is more than happy to resume their alliance

He’s more than happy to be their sole source of comfort again, and isn’t he just so sweet for that?

how quickly the lifers figured out the wildcard mechanic for session 2:

2 fast 2 family: literally immediately. gem nearly ate her sword before the wildcard activation message had even left the screen and joel noticed his hunger was strange just as quickly. took them no time at all to figure out what they could and could not eat. watching their pov first really made me think everyone was gonna have just as easy a time as they did so imagine my surprise when everyone started dying

bigb and the four Gs: scott and bigb noticed the hunger bar in about ten seconds but it took them all a minute or two to realise they could eat anything. and longer still to find what really worked well. pearl nearly starved to death in the process

the spanners and the tuff guys and renwood: took a good thirty seconds for bdubs to notice the "zombie hungry" though in fairness to them, grian was deliberately trying to mislead them. most of them figured out the rest pretty quickly after that and went back to their own little bases to experiment after a bit. skizz and mumbo took so long to figure out what they could eat though that grian had to intervene and mumbo still starved to death despite it

bamboozlers: like everyone else, noticed their hunger pretty quickly. unlike everyone else, their course of action was, believing they could just never regen hunger again, to make boats to travel in everywhere. which of course didn't work because they had hunger. about three minutes in grian sent the "eat things!" message in chat and that was when lizzie ate the stone shovel and they committed to that as their sole food resource for the next half hour. who knows how long they would have taken to figure it out if grian hadn't said anything in chat

there are a lot of posts out there that are positive and healthy coping mechanisms for handling the holidays. this is not one of them :)

i think there's like. going to be times in your life you will be stuck in a social situation that you cannot escape from gracefully. i do not know why the internet doesn't believe these times exist. it's not always just that your physical safety is at risk - sometimes it's legit like "i just don't currently have the energy or time to put in the effort of responding to this." sometimes it's a coworker you hate so much. sometimes it's just like, fine, you know? like you know you can handle your aunt when she's cheerily horrible, but if you actually set a boundary around her, it's going to be weeks of fallout with your father.

i don't know why people think the answer is always just "cut them out!" or "don't let them get away with that!" because ... the real world is tricky and complicated. i think kind of a lot of us have an internal "radiation poisoning" meter for certain people. like - i'm talking about the ones who are absolutely giving you gradual ick damage. like, you can handle them, but you'll be exhausted.

and yes. you absolutely should listen to your therapist and the good posts about handling others and set good boundaries and take care of yourself. prioritize peace.

HOWEVER :) ...... since im often in a situation with a Gradual Sense of Ick person i cannot just "cut out" of my life (without losing someone else precious to me) - i have sort of developed the most. maladaptive form of mischief possible. because like, if i'm going to have to listen to this shit again, i like to have a little bit of private fun with it.

now! again, i am physically safe, just mentally drained by this man. you should only do this with people you are not in danger with. which leads me to my suggestions for when your Unfortunate Acquaintance shows up and says oh everyone pay attention to me.

my favorite word is "maybe!" said as brightly and happily as possible. whenever the Horrible Person starts in on a topic you do not want to go further with, particularly if they make a claim that you know to be inaccurate, do not respond to it. you and i have both tried to actually argue with this person, and it hasn't gone well, because this person just wants the drama of an argument. however, "maybe!" gives them literally nothing to go on. it is incredibly disarming. they are used to people having some response. they know they can't prove what they're saying, and maybe! treats them like the child they are. it dismisses them in the politest way possible.

i like to say maybe! and then, in their stunned silence, immediately change the subject. this is because i have adhd and i will have something unrelated to talk about, but if you can't think of topics fast enough, i recommend just pointing to something and saying, "isn't that lovely?" because fuck you let's bring in some positivity.

by the way. that second trick - of pointing to something and stating an opinion about it? - that just works on its own, like, 70% of the time. i picked it up from teaching preschoolers. it's an intentional "redirect". it stops children crying and it also stops grown adults from finishing their explanation on why women belong in kitchens. dual wielding!

keep it silly for yourself. i absolutely do not care if people think i'm fucking stupid (it's more fun if they do) and as a result i will purposefully misunderstand things just to see how long it takes them to realize i've completely removed them from the subject at hand. when they say "women aren't funny" i get to be like. "which women." "all women." "all women in america?" "no in the world." "like the mole people? the people in the world?" "what? no. like, alive." "oh are we not counting the mole people?" "what the fuck are you talking about." "you don't believe in the mole people?"

similarly, i play a personal game called "one up me." my Evil Acquaintance literally knows this game exists (my family & friends caught onto it and now also play it) and it always fucking gets him. i don't know why. you have to be willing to be a little free-spirited on this one, though. the trick is that when they make one of those horrible little bigoted or annoying comments they are always making, you need to go one unit weirder. not more intense, mind you - just more weird. "you don't look good in that dress." "yeah, actually, my other dress was covered in squid ink due to a mishap at the soup store." "you shouldn't wear such revealing clothes." "wait, what? oh shit. sorry, your son tears off strips when no one is looking and eats them. i swear it was longer before we left the building."

the point of "one up me" is to completely upend this person's narrative. we both know this person likes setting up situations where you cannot "win" and then they really like telling other people how badly you handled it. in a usual situation, if you respond "please don't say something that rude", you're a bitch. but if you let it happen, you're letting yourself be debased. they are not usually expecting door number three: unflappably odd. because what are they going to say when they're telling everyone how badly you behaved? "she said my son eats her dresses" ".... okay?"

if you can, form an allyship with someone whomst you can tagteam with. where they can pick up on your weird "soup store" story and run with it.

the following phrase is amazing and can be deployed for any situation: "oh, be nice :) it's the holidays!" i do not know why this works as often as it does. i'll say it for the most random shit. i think this is bc most of the time these people know they're being impolite, they just like to fight.

godbless. when in doubt, remember that you could always start stealing their pens.

the whole point of this is - if you can't escape. maybe see how long you can just be. like. a horrible little menace.

ok so i just experienced what i think would be the climax of the film about my breakup

i just went to see neck deep and i was supposed to be going to this show with my ex for my birthday, but i went by myself because i’m not missing it because of him, and i crowdsurfed for the first time ever during the song “heartbreak of the century” and i don’t even feel like i’m real right now

before I played Disco Elysium, I thought Harry du Bois was a co-worker in the precinct you work at and, reading about him being such a fucked up guy, I was literally planning on avoiding him as much as possible in my playthrough... colour me surprised when I found the badge and found out the main character's name

dick took the news that a strange thirteen year old broke into his apartment while he was away at the circus pretty well, I gotta say
