i feel like in the saw universse, mr beast would start doing his own saw traps, and they'd be so hilariously unsafe that jigsaw would have to step in and trap him to stop it
#shitty saw traps#saw franchise#mod amanda#like yes you are upholding my message *technically*#but you're doing it for youtube clicks instead of for pure love of the game#now i'm going to put you into a literal content mill

It never hurt to be careful. The last time Demise caught wind of Dark’s sharp tongue, he’d spent ten years in isolation sealed in a crystal at the bottom of the temple.
Hello everyone! This line (from chapter two of A Dark Among the Lights by @luckylectio over on AO3) has been on my mind for the last year, so I finally sat down and drew it :D
#file name: out of sight‚ out of my mind#alternatively: I'd be better freed#did you know that you can procrastinate on one animation by making an entirely different one?#i checked the various loz games where crystal prisons are used (surprisingly a lot of them) and the physics inside them are weird#sometimes the person inside is floating and other times they're just standing there#so i'm interpreting it as the magic acting however it needs to keep most of their mass somewhat centered#anyway...i have thought far too much about how this event must've played out#was dark summoned to personally get yelled at? or was it like oot where that kind of thing can be done remotely?#was he told how long he'd be imprisoned for? was it the truth? especially considering the local time distortions#or was he just trapped in an endless night wondering if he was going to be forgotten down there forever?#things like that#my art#adatl#dark link#i ran into so many issues trying to export this gif. turns out that large canvas sizes are not ideal for gifs#or even like. medium canvases#it kept dropping frames and was a whole mess before i just shrunk the darn thing. which also reduced the file size by a factor of 9???#i don't understand dimensions

I've managed to beat up the train blorbos in the pasio subway extreme battles. Here's the ending cutscene that plays out for those who couldn't make it this far:









Ingo and Emmet I love you very much but I'm going to have to beat you with hammers for the nonsense you just put me through
#submas#pmex spoilers#subway boss emmet#subway boss ingo#pmex#pokemas#their battle was annoyingly tough and it was clearly designed to be done with arc suit cynthia#all extreme battles are designed to be done with with specific sync pairs but ofc theirs' were like that#also it was really important that you don't let them inflict status conditions otherwise they regain chunks of their health after each turn#or i think that happens after they attack a target with a status condition? The game does not explain to you how it works#so yeah you better have sync pairs that are immune to trapping or burn or paralysis or spend resources to make them immune#“I didn't think you'd make it through!” Believe me Ingo I'm as surprised as you are it took so much trail and error

anyway i've been squinting at this storyboard, trying to tell what the rest of the family's minigolf skill is at but im distracted by what seems to be a 100 score for soos'....
#him having an average game with that one exception aksdhsakjdha#stan seeming to be second best which probably makes sense cos he has so many golf clubs#still looks like he got stuck on two of the courses super bad tho lmao#the actual ep changing it so mabel isn't mostly perfect at the game and scores some 2s#less of a 'perfect game' and more 'pretty dang good' to highlight the difference between her and paz's skill#otherwise there's less of a reason to resort to cheating cos there still would've been a good chance she could beat her on her own#mabel pines#dipper pines#stan pines#soos ramirez#....almost wrote soos pines there i'm falling for his trap of wanting to change his last name#the number of games for each character are inconsistent across the board lmao

the foxes in 2024 would have a team tiktok and 50% of the videos would be nicky secretly filming kevin in the gym till he gets caught and then it's just kevin staring angrily at the camera, slamming his weights on the floor and striding towards nicky and nicky cackling loudly before running off, the camera blurry and shaky all over the place while kevin swears in the background. OR OR slow mo videos edits of kevin making inappropriate sex faces while he lifts to failure or stretches out while something like taste by tyga and offset plays over the top. or kevin doing a push up challenge unprompted followed by a zoom in on aaron shaking his head in the back before walking off bc he's not about that shit
#foxes team account? more like oblivious kevin thirst trap central#and kevin doesn't even care to check the videos#the funniest is when he gets caught flexing his muscles in the mirror#if you squint you can even see him blush#kevin day#nicky hemmick#aaron minyard#the foxes#all for the game#aftg#silly shitpost bc i'm currently bored in the gym

Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance - The World That Never Was
#kingdom hearts dream drop distance#khddd#the world that never was#scenery#my gif#i really love how sora's side of this world is dark and eerie and fully leans into how dreams can distort and twist reality#the city looks mostly normal at first aside from the ghostly fog that seeps down from buildings and drifts along the floor and rises up#but as you keep going the ground beneath you is no longer a street but rather the faces of more buildings that stretch over an abyss#it's no longer the sprawling city you first arrived in but instead an uncanny one way path towards your destination#the buildings now twist and contort and are crooked and grow out of the ground in all kinds of ways that make no logical sense#it's the first time that a sleeping world looks easily distinguishable from the real world. it looks wrong. like a nightmare#meanwhile riku's half contrasts heavily by appearing to be fairly normal#the interior of the real castle never made any practical sense so nothing here feels too out of place compared to how it usually looks#it shows how much more in control riku is in comparison to how sora is losing his grip on reality as he descends further into their trap#cool stuff! love me some environmental storytelling#also i finished giffing every world in this game yippee i'm done (is covered head to toe in blood)

BG3 has two of the most thoughtful, unapologetic, no holds barred depictions of men with abusive female partners I've every seen (Wyll + Mizora and Gale + Mystra), which is so rare to see in any media but especially video games, and some of the Larian writers seem determined to convince me it was 100% by accident
#and like with mystra they even managed to do it without demonizing women as a whole!!#like wow if I could believe y'all did that on purpose I'd be impressed!#i know mizora isn't technically wyll's partner but you know what I mean#imo larian is running into a similar trap bioware has fallen into#where they are waaayyyy too present in their fan communities#bc like nearly everything the writers said about the game recently has made me go :/#and I think a large part of what they're doing is trying to appeal to a specific and very weird part of their fanbase#i'm conflicted bc on one hand i'd love to get a patch to give some of the underwritten companions more content#but on the other hand I like what we have and really *really* don't want them to change/take it#bg3#wyll ravengard#gale of waterdeep#marie speaks

hey so. random thought. what are the odds that liu xiao was the client that approached qiao ling for the S1E1 case
#mine musings#liveblogging link click#link click#link click spoilers#yingdu episode 2 spoilers in the next tags:#for a show whose whole schtick is about resolving personal regrets#we never actually. found out what the deal is with S1E1's client#like we know about emma but emma is just incidental to the case. she's not the client#the client wanted the que de games scandal#all other cases had a pretty clear “reason” for the job and they're all personal regrets#noodle shop. earthquake arc. siwen. doudou case. even xu shanshan. EVEN LI TIANCHEN#cosplayer girl and the rich friend who got scammed and even vivian#might just be overthinking it but. you know#in hindsight it's just odd we never found out who the S1E1 client was. they're the only ones we don't know#but link click will spend a whole episode talking about every client's backstory if they could#i'm thinking the vein attack is what should've happened normally but for some reason in S1#the “trap liu min in the darkroom” plot happens instead#and that only ever really happens as a domino effect of S1E1 case#so i'm thinking it's like#liu xiao getting someone arrested in bridon -> leads to cxs going to bridon. somehow#liu xiao giving them the S1E1 case -> leads to cxs meeting red eyes#(phone beeping) you should really stop thinking 'bout it. stop thinking 'bout it. stop stop thinking 'bout it why your mind overclouded#EDIT: OH AND ALSO WASN'T THE TRIO BEING MYSTERIOUSLY PROFILED BY SOMEONE LIKE#THREE DAYS BEFORE THE S1E1 CASE#and then they destroyed those dossiers on april 18th the day S1E1 case concluded

as research for a gladiator au jaytim fic, i read all of the captive prince books in less than 72 hours. i fear that i was, in fact, the target audience for that series. and that i will need to be very careful not to accidentally write captive prince fanfic in the middle of my jaytim fanfic. OOPSIES
#the intrigue! the mind games! the politics! enemies to lovers! it is a trap. i do not WANT to write long and drawn out political intrigue#i WANT to write gladiator jason and senator tim having the worst situationship ever OCCASIONALLY punctuated by political intrigue#of course. the problem is that before i even KNEW about captive prince i was already cooking something that had the vibes fjdlsjfa#already sketching out some themes that capri also contains and does really well fjdlsaj#and the other problem is that capri contains precisely the kind of humor and focus on emotional tension and character relationships i love#which means it has taken over my brain and now i'm so damen pilled. so laurent pilled#laurent reminds me of tim sometimes and once i first had that thought i knew it was all over for me OTL OTL OTL#anyway if anyone wants to talk about capri with me i'm currently buzzing about it. it's definitely helped me with a scene i'm still writing#it wasn't supposed to be like this. and yet here we are lmao#i'm so mad. i'm so mad that damen was made in a lab for me specifically. i'm so mad

I need to see branzy in the realm… maybe then we’ll finally get clown to log on <\3
I too am not above dangling Branzy in front of Clown's face as bait. The idea of Clown making moon eyes at someone who would inevitably be on Red team, potentially targeting LoSA for taking Clown away from him... Branzy's traps are nothing to sneeze at so unless Clown specifically tells him they're off limits, he could represent an actual threat to them. Also after everything Pili did to get Clown's attention, having him tripping over himself for some pathetic guy would be hilarious to me.
#actually having a lifesteal vet on red would've been a great way to balance the teams since they would have experience trapping and killing#plus lifestealers understand what it's like to play a game with stakes so they can be more pragmatic about it#ideally i'm hoping the teams are going to be dissolved soon#but if not then hey tubbo. something to consider#callioposte

yeah I know, thank you.
#retplays#monster hunter#monhun#Monster Hunter Wilds#the tutorial popups are entirely fucked in this game#and the inability to turn them OFF instead of just 'show less often and please pretty please stop repeating'#is certainly a design decision of all time#admittedly I mostly just get annoyed at how Alma and our cat are treated as reminder text for every possible activity in the game#I don't need to be reminded of the tail or the slinger ammo or the small monsters or that a tent is nearby or that a monster is tempered or#that the monster I put in a trap and threw tranq bombs on is 'fast asleep' I think I'm good actually#like maybe stop please#this on the other hand is very specifically a pop up tutorial that never popped for me despite fulfilling the criteria countless times#I DID already know this- but I wasn't officially told until HR 240+ for some reason lol

Something I've been thinking a lot about lately is how everyone thought Egon had gone insane. What Happened that made them think that. They've fought a gigantic Stay Puft Marshmellow Man TWICE (counting the 2009 video game because iirc it's canon? Correct me if I'm wrong), fought an interdimensional god, fought a blood thirsty ruler that killed thousands and was hated by all that was trapped in a painting (and managed to get in to beat him by making THE STATUE OF LIBERTY start walking down the street with slime that reacted purely based on vibes), found an underground abandoned transit system full of the moodslime, had a bathtub try to eat Dana and her baby, fought a giant murderous black widow lady, fought the fisherman ghost who turned an entire hotel floor into the bottom of a ocean, and that's not even mentioning them getting trapped on an island that randomly raised up from underwater that had been abandoned for decades created by Ivor Shandor who worshipped Gozer. So what did he do or say that made everyone else think he'd gone insane?? All I can think is maybe he was acting strange / eratic before, but he's always been like that to some degree.
I don't know. It's something that I've been thinking about. The correct answer is 'it's not that deep and they needed a reason that the others weren't together anymore and weren't aware of Egons death or know what was going on,' but also. What Was He Saying that prompted everyone, including Ray, to think he lost his mind when he'd been right almost every time before that.
I'm genuinely so curious as to what he was up to before this. What was he doing. What insane idea was working on prior to this or was he even working on anything at all??
Also want to clarify this post isn't negative 😭 I really love the newer movies and their lore / the newer storyline / characters, I just like thinking about small stupid things like this. Gives me something to think about / speculate about / figure out an answer to.
#ghostbusters#egon spengler#nikolas posts#I have so many thoughts on it because I've just been rewatching the two movies on loop for the past few days.#All we got was Ray saying that he'd started talking about the end of the world (IIRC) and that he went insane and took everything#when he eventually left to deal with it on his own#which for the record it's extremely impressive that he would've stopped Gozer from returning BY HIMSELF. The only reason it hadn't worked#was because of the electricity issue#Hiding all the traps and setting up the proton packs to fire at the hell pit?? Insanity. He's just on a complete different level of existin#Like they were aware of Ivor Shandor and his plans long before??? They found his ISLAND DEDICATED TO GOZER who had full intention of#BRINGING THEM BACK#it's really Really REALLY not this deep but I have thoughts and I wanted to share them. Maybe someone else might have an idea I#couldn't think of or might have something to add.#I guess it could be a 'they beat Gozer once and assumed they were gone' but that wasn't the first time Gozer 'died' so??#if I missed something Please tell me. I haven't watched the newer movies as much as the older ones (I grew up watching them / playing#the game so I'm more familiar with the older lore and haven't had the chance to rewatch the newer ones 1000 times over unfortunately)#so it's entirely possible I missed something#I'd think maybe it was just because they were older but I really don't think thats the case. I have reasoning for it but I need to do#the math to make sure I'm getting the ages right by the time AfterLife happens.#really need to make a chart / timeline of all the events that happened and what year / month / day they happened. That's a project#for tomorrow perhaps.#anyways if anyones reading this sorry for the insane rambling and congrats for making it to the end#also this post isn't negative I adore the newer movies so much. I love them a lot and I genuinely don't really care about this at all#just a thing to think / ponder / speculate about if that makes sense#I enjoy thinking about stupid irrelevant stuff like this#so so so many thoughts

So this is a very vibe motivated au that I came up with (as in there are too many aspects of the canon plot that would have to be re-examined but that's not a job for me) and it was mostly a hypothetical for "what if the twinyards were fraternal twins of opposite genders and had a way worse relationship than they do in canon?"
And the answer is a ballroom + fem Aaron au apparently. So basically all I have is the following:
Aaron (Aria in this au) breaks the deal with Andrew in highschool which prompts them to go their separate ways in college
Neil (trans) stays at millport for longer (he still plays exy but he's also introduced to ballroom) and he's again recruited by wymack
Not sure whether to have Aria study in PSU with a dance scholarship or not, but anyway the point is that she befriends Neil and convinces him to dance with her
I guess it would make the most sense for them to dance American rhythm but in my head they also dance international latin
Kateaaron endgame (they're roomates)
I would imagine that thanksgiving is the first time Andrew and Aria have been within close proximity to each other in a while (which makes what happens probably a lot more complicated bc yes, Aria does kill drake)
One of the main conflicts I originally thought of was based on Neil's love for exy vs his love for ballroom, and I think it would be interesting if he's forced to keep playing exy bc of his deal with ichirou but he didn't actually want to
#that last point could be really cool to explore in the context of andrew's apparent indifference towards exy#like maybe the reason why neil can tell that andrew likes exy is bc he knows what it's like to slowly care less about it#or even come to hate it since he's now trapped in it bc he has to fulfill his deal with the moriyamas#the deal thus becoming a double edged sword bc neil gained the freedom to stay and to live his life but not in the way that he truly wants#tbh I'm not sure why I'm dooming neil more than he already is lol#this all started as a neilaaron and twinyards study and then it became whatever this is#aftg#all for the game#neil josten#trans neil josten#aaron minyard#twinyards

this is my truth
#feeling real soft and nostalgic rn so i might as well post this#confession: skylanders was the first fandom i ever interacted with#but the only game i ever cared about was trap team#i latched onto stampy's playthrough when i was like ten and it has been my comfort letsplay ever since#i'm rewatching his playthrough and every time wolfgang is onscreen i still kinda lose my shit a little#i stand by this btw. the only way you could make me enjoy these four more is if they were women#am i biased?? yes. i'm a lesbian leave me alone#also three of them are villains i think that says a lot about me and my taste in characters#rambling#skylanders#skylanders trap team#how the FUCK do i tag these characters#i'm just not gonna. fuck you

Tossing out scraps of my concept for that AU I have a definite amount of ideas for (I have no idea how to make a solid design!)
#UNDERTALE YELLOW#STARLO UTY#UTY STARLO#CEROBA UTY#UTY CEROBA#Ceroba Ketsukane#SHOOTIN' STAR(LO)#CEROBABABA#MY ARTO#Want to hear me explain the ideas trapped in my head? No? Well you checked the tags so YOUR PROBLEM.#Starlo takes the role of Dalv — running away from his duties from the pressure of becoming an authority figure for the people after the#Snowdin Incident along with Kanako's death and Chujin going missing for a very concerning amount of time.#Star may not have a positive opinion of Chu but that never meant he wanted him gone. But now he is and Starlo believes that it is indirectly#his fault. Because of course things had to be complicated!#The ruins is the first area and Starlo is here instead of Dalv. Where is Dalv then? Good question. Next question.#Why is Ceroba in armour? Because she joined the Royal Guard in search of her missing loved ones. Kanako was unmistakably gone —#for what reason was unknown still. But Chujin and Starlo still had hope of being found so she called up her friend Martlet to manage#what we know as the Wild East in base game. Is the name switched in this AU? Likely but I'm still struggling with it. Martlet is the Sheriff#She took up the Fiesty Four in Starlo's absence and she seems to have found another companion while she was at it.#Who? Well.#That's for the Martlet post. If I manage to make one.#UTY#Nearly forgot that tag huh.#UTY AU#I think these designs could be better but I think it's better than nothing.#Crop the drawings? Oh heavens no. I am out of storage!

Packages are a bit late to go out because someone stole my debit card a few days ago and things that ran out require a card 😭 that's why there's no shop update today too. The person is still shamelessly trying to use it on everything they can but thankfully I got my money back and it's cancelled. They also stole my brand new arcade card, the only thing I really allow myself to enjoy without worrying.. I hope they win nothing
I'm expecting things to go out normally by next week!! But I'm working on packing what I can so they'll go out immediately after that.
#i might have gotten my money back that they spent but I'm losing out still because my shop#updates never do as well if they're not when they're expected.. 😭#and the added disappointment of late packages.. I'm sorry y'all#I'm so mad they took my annual arcade card though#i had just loaded it#😭#i literally got the annual card THAT DAY#like . i don't buy video games. i don't buy fun things. i even added a condition to me buying a couple tichels#I'm trapped in that “have to save every penny or i will be homeless again” mindset and the arcade#was my one exception#👿👿👿
