#like im not saying i hate everything thats not 999

[colourful-void]

my controversial zero escape opinion is that while i like a lot of vlr and ztd has diana in it, narratively speaking i think 999 is strongest separated from the rest of the games

[maybemoss]

hai moss im curious. what are your favorite scps. :3

mine are pretty basic (049, 999, etc) but I also like 6448 (the not deer) & 783 (the crooked man)!! i haven't been able to check out the less well known scps but i will someday

YES!! i have a lot to say about this wait let me pull something up i made a list

SCP-7000 “The Loser” (https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-7000) and anything and everything related to william wallace wettle — horrible pathetic wet cat of a man. the world hates him personally and the feeling is mutual. cannot have ONE nice day without something going wrong. by god he deserves a break and he won’t get one. canonically divorced (to the extent that canon is a Thing). there are other articles with him but 7000 is the perfect showcase of the bullshit surrounding this man

SCP-6326 “The Manbear” (https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-6326) — absolutely fucking hilarious. looks like a generic spooky scp article at first but just scroll down to the first picture and you’ll see what i mean. it’s just punch after punch and it left me IN TEARS laughing. someone calls the manbear hung at some point.

SCP-7243 “Existential Abatement” (https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-7243) — insanely good but probably relies quite a bit on you already being familiar with the characters present; you can read about them at https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/on-guard-43-hub (particularly SCP-5056, SCP-5243, and The Significant Others A & B) if you want but be warned there’s A LOT there. also has a lot of what i can only call bullshit sci-fi jargon (affectionate) and it’s great but i uh see why it might be off-putting if you’re not used to it

SCP-INTEGER (https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-5242) — there’s a guy named Dr. Placeholder McDoctrate in there. do i need to say more.

ANYTHING Undervegas (https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/undervegas-hub) — agent calendar my beloved. site-666 my beloved. it’s all great. based on the idea of vegas falling into literal actual hell. the director of the site keeps using everyone’s souls as collateral on bets with demons. if you need a starting point i recommend SCP-4661 but any article works

honestly literally anything with the O5 Council, doesn’t even have to be a specific version of them. see https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/o5-command-dossier for more info. off the top of my head one i really liked is captain kirby’s 001 proposal “O5-13” (https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/captain-kirby-s-proposal) but i am INSANE about all of them. i have my own personal OC interpretations of the council and i have been rotating them in my mind for six months straight. they started as a silly thought experiment but have turned into actual fully-fledged Characters and i am sad that they only exist in my brain :(

SCP-7600 “Six Feet Under” (https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-7600) — it’s been a while since i read this one so i don’t remember ALL the details but it’s about two O5s (4 & 8) and a magic realm. made me Feel Things

OKAY THATS ALL i could dig up more but i’m sleepy and i think this is a pretty good overview. ty for asking!!! :D

[thegeminisage]

much as it pains me, i only have an hour or so before bedtime so i've decided to press on to gerudo town...i want my snow boots before i try to get that memory and i KNOW they are there

damn this old lady is fucking jaded. begging me not to drop dead in front of her lol

oh FUN this gerudo is teaching me like, gerudo language, and she's trying to teach me how to make the "v" sound...which i know, because english, but in japanese they don't have that i don't think. COOOOLL

lol a rito just named guy

ah, the updraft is to fly over the shroud...very good. i remember the map not working in botw and it was scary lol

but i still wonder how i get in??

just like when i did the story in the other areas i activate the shrines and leave them behind...smh. at least this time i have the excuse of "it's almost bedtime"

WHAT is this big mushroom thing with the bud in it??? looks almost like a lightroot

i've officially hit 999 brightbloom seeds lol. the game won't let me pick up anymore

oh wow the map going fuzzy is just as bad as i remember lol. it's bedtime but i just GOTTA get to town first...i think i remember an npc saying something about zombies i WANT TO SEE THE REDEADS (or do i)

okay. so.

saw a redead. immediately froze in terror.

it's not moving. i'm not moving. alright. alright

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I SHOT IT AND IT GOT BACK UP KILL IT WITH FIRE

GIBDO BONE..........................it is literally not a gibdo. it's not a mummy. it's a redead!!!

riju's not here...but i found her diary

my friends link and zelda are in hyrule and they'll take care of it 😭

geez she is so young to be dealing with all of this...older now but still

SNOWSHOE DUDE????

so, everyone is hiding in the wells...

wow, even the bar is fucked up......tragic

where tf are the wells?

OH i found one!!! a square well!

message in a BOTTLE!!!! JUST LIKE OOT

oh lol it's a love letter from a gerudo. girl.......you can't just put love letters in bottles...you and finley both...enough

oh i found the way in but i don't have the girl clothes :( idk how to do it!!!

BULIARA WITH THE STEEL CHAIR

omg i get the special exception rule <3 i guess thats better than the last game...?

man they arent even allowed to talk to me lol

oh, these guys don't seem to know the trick - killing them with fire lol

another heroines quest! i'll be honest i didn't really understand the first one...

omg they put a guy in JAIL for coming in here...they're serious!!

ok the last thing i wanted to do before bed, which i am late for, was get my shoes. i had to look up the location but AAAA theres two redeads in my way!!!!!!!!! literally kill with fire

i am so tense and hypervigilant walking thru this town. my eyes sweeping everywhere between steps. i am NOT gonna get jumped by one of those motherfuckers this close 2 bedtime

oh god FINALLY made it

those brightbloom seeds just paid for my desert vai armor! of course i had enough for the boots and bought them first lol

well it's more than half an hour past the bedtime i wanted

but i unblocked the door and walked out

saw a redead shambling towards me. went back in.

that's a sign. that's for future liz to deal with tomorrow. eugh

Rating Various Star Wars Curses

a guide w much real swearing, inspired by a midnight convo with @kckenobi​

-----------------

crink/crinking -- what the actual fuck is this supposed to be. Who came up with this??? We’re only a few letters away from ‘crinkled’ or even ‘tinkled’, god. No self respecting Space Adult is going to use this.---  -2/10 pls try again

sithspit-- a classic. can be found everywhere in fic. kind of sounds like you’re hissing, which the sith would probably appreciate actually. (do normal space ppl use this or is it just a jedi thing tho bc most star wars citizens dont seem to know abt the sith???) --- 9/10 very sssssssmooth

holy sith!-- again with the sith?? ok i guess. a pretty good alternative to ‘holy shit’ but lacks the pazzazz of sithspit which is 10x more fun to say ---6/10 reliable but uninspired

frizz/frizzled -- what is this, the magic school-bus? I love Ms. Frizzle with all my heart of course, which is why im disturbed by seeing her name used as an approximation of fucked (it kinda sounds like jizz too which I HATEE). I can maybe see it as a kiddie swear like frick though. ---3/10 what the frizz is this

dwang-- ...kind of strange but you know what I’ll accept it --5/10 haha dwang the rock johnson

e chu ta-- a solid fuck you. definitely sounds like a space language, and has a nice ring to it when said with passion. works for characters ages 9-->999, thank you kiddie anakin for this gem. --10/10, ‘a fine addition to my collection!!’

sleemo-- sounds like the word ‘sleazy’ and for once the real word association does it a favor. You hear this and just KNOW what kind of person it describes. ---8/10 honestly huttese curses can get it

farkled-- ...this is the name of a fucking dice game. also it sounds nasty                --0/10 get sued pls 

blast-- idk if this is actually a star wars curse or an irl thing, but it absolutely should be. you got BLASTers for cripes sake this shit writes itself -- 10/10 it just makes sense honey

son of a blaster-- ok we get it guns aren’t a thing in space. except they are. sob is great i guess but consider son of a slugthrower boom alliteration plus badass space guns lets go boys ---7/10 alliteration is key

kark/karking-- amazing. inspired. beautiful. I regularly forget this isn’t an actual thing and use it in everyday life. gotta love the hard consonants she is cathartic as kark to use. -- 50/10 she just hits different ok

kriff/kriffing-- basically ‘frick’. Actually sounds like a kid-ification of kark and I just really admire that about her. 10/10 all the cool initiates say kriff

bantha poodoo-- the one that started this whole discussion. listen, this is fine when you’re 9 year old anakin skywalker and say ‘yippee’ unironically but for anyone else this is just embarrassing -- 2/10 ok if you’re baby i guess

skrog/skrogging-- at first I was gonna rate this one low bc it sounds weird and is a synonym for fuck (which just ain’t it). but then I thought about it and realized that if you replace bantha poodoo with bantha skrog you actually have a somewhat decent word for space shit. --- 6/10 we done figured it out boys 

snark/snarking-- this is already a real word. why are you stealing actual live words out of the english dictionary sir that’s  i l l e g a l  --- 0/10 for plagiarism

druk-- a solid replacement for shit, and more serious than skrog (though bantha skrog sounds better than bantha druk imo). gotta love those consonants, and a ‘drukload’ of problems is a phrase that just works. 9/10 will always be there for you

krong-- I just... I dont... know? How i feel abt this. reminds me of king kong donkey kong AND kronk from emperors new groove. maybe thats my own brains fault but also where does this work?? ‘dont krong things up’ just use kark? ‘bantha krong’ just use skrog or druk. In conclusion? --4/10 ok but you can do better

schuta-- we’re branching out folks! finally, a twi’leki curse. she’s catchy and  very fun to say, but it does mean slut, and we respect women in this household. If you wanna make a very despicable character say it though it will help make us all want to beat ‘em up :) ---5/10 all women are QUEENS george

vape/vaping-- ... ill give u a pass bc I dont think vaping was a thing when this word was made, but this straight up doesn’t work in the blessed decade of 2020 ---1/10 you’re on thin fucking ice

shab/shabuir-- not to be confused w ‘shebs’ which is just mandalorian booty, this is mandalorian shit. Sounds like a real word, is mandalorian which automatically makes everything 10x more legit, and has that lovely insult variation! ---7/10 truly some shit I can get behind (heh)

vong-- we don’t mention the y**zhan v*ng in this household --- -∞/10 legends can get right tf outta here

shavit-- friends, I had to look this one up to make sure it wasn’t actually a real swear word. I think I’ve picked this one up through osmosis reading fic bc I’ve definitely used this in real life. that’s quality folks. --- 10000+/10, will unironically say this from now on

-------------

KC, I cried laughing at some of these I truly dont know where they come up with this stuff. 

there’s a lot more where these came from but i didnt feel like doing all of them, heres the link tho , knock yourselves out

[strictly-confectional]

Who is your fave SCP???

oh god anon ive had a lot of favorites and im not sure if i remember all of them but i guess i can toss out at least SOME of what ones i like. also not all of them are "who"s, i have a number of favorite SCPs that are relatively inanimatethese are in not entirely any particular order, but i guess i'll lump them by categories for ease of reading-food-related:SCP-348 (bowl of soup; this one's mainly just sweet and not unnerving at all (except for One testing log is a little bit))SCP-261 (the pan-dimensional vending machine... its just neat)SCP-458 (pizza box that when touched replicates the person's favorite pizza)SCP-294 (the coffee machine that dispenses any liquid you type in... again I Just Think It's Neat)animals:SCP-529 (Josie the Half-Cat... she's a kitty idk what anyone expected of me)SCP-530 (Carl the Variable Dog.. again. just friend and boy material... also it feels illegal to separate mentions of him from mentions of Josie since i think people know of josie more than they do about carl and thats sad to me)SCP-511 (unnerving, fair warning for some body horror type descriptions. anomalous "cat" that lives amongst a cat colony. the colony show signs of neglect and 511 itself sounds uhhh... zombie-like but also frankenstien-like are the least upsetting ways i can warn, i think.)humanoids:SCP-2428 (Mr. Mad from the Dr. Wondertainment series. only appears to one person at a time as a hallucination. hes nothing too weird or scary really i just Like Him.. the entire wondertainment series is interesting but i've never been sure of the reading order of the tales for it and i think ive missed several, but like... its worth looking into. surely there's a list somewhere for best reading order)SCP-2396 (Ms. Sweetie, also a Wondertainment scp. produces candies within a 6km radius of herself that only affect masculine-identified humans into... basically big humanoid candy-creatures (but sometimes.. unicorns))SCP-030 ('Ariel', small clayish animate statue? i guess. i dont really understand whats going on with this one but they're Neat)misc:SCP-700 (building with somewhat-animate graffiti, little bit spooky but interesting. some body horror in part of this as it implies the building sort of.. 'consumes' people in order for said graffiti to show up?)SCP-2295 (patchworky teddy bear; anomalously makes replacement cloth organs to replace damaged ones on nearby humans, there is literally nothing scary or bad about this little dude (fair warning for One (1) sad test log entry though))SCP-999 (big mass of orange slime. acts "dog-like". literally.... friend and boy. i love you 999)SCP-3999 ("I Am At The Center Of Everything That Happens To Me"/Researcher Talloran. its... its just? i don't know what to say about this one it's really weird but like? i loved it? i think i should warn maybe for unreality and implications of s uicide though)also you did not ask for anything non-SCP article from me but if i dont proclaim my love for Duke Till Dawn in this answer somewhere i might have to shrivel up and diei also "like" SCP-1981 ("Ronald Reagen Cut Up While Talking") but i say like in quotes because i hold an intense amount of fearful hate for that one actually. idk why that one gets to me but it really did so i absolutely DESPISE it but it gets honorable mention for being one of few i can remember having that much fear impact on me.this got SUPER long im sorry... you opened an absolute can of worms here because even though i forget numbers all the time for these i have a Bit of a special interest about SCPs. i’m gonna reblog this from myself to add links just so i Know this shows in tags because. i am a fool and i want more people to know some of these SCPs specifically

[orchidbreezefc]

bih you already fucking know all the charas im gonna list but here ya go: izuru, nagito, sigma, junpei, magnus, juno, twogami, juuzo (dr), yomo

holy SHIT helEN THERES FOUR FOR EACH YOU KNOW THAT RIGHT

(contains spoilers for all these series, but please do not give spoilers for zero time dilemma, we are only partway through ;w; no spoilers for penumbra podcast either please)

izuru kamukura (dangan ronpa): 

A (realistic): he actually likes sakuramochi just fine, it's hinata who hates it for Trans Reasons 

B (funny): hinata is pan but izuru is like, a little boy crazy??? hes just really into dudes. chiaki is an exception. 

C (sad): he’s not actually stoic or emotionless so much as deeply depressed and desperate for anything to break through the lack of interest. he’d engage in a lot of risky behavior for the thrill if he had the motivation. 

D (my city now): he and hinata become a beautiful binary system with medium length hair everyone can fuck off

nagito komaeda (dangan ronpa):

A (realistic): he gets a seRVICE DOG 

B (funny): he then sternly tells hinata to do his part as a dog parent and badgers him about child support 

C (sad): he had to go on a helicopter once when a ship wasn't an option and he shook with fear the entire time. hizuru held his hand all the way through it. (everything turned out fine) 

D (my city now): future foundation medics find cancer treatments that keep his lymphoma under control. if he were cured hed be fucking terrified his bad luck would kill everyone and hed probably flee the country, but hes not cured. just under control.

sigma (zero escape): 

A (realistic): he's silly but has a good head on his shoulders. in school he's kind of a class clown type but he gets solid grades.

D (my city now): he awkwardly apologizes to the ladies for hitting on them all not realizing what it looked like and luna already knew his deal so she says she forgives him and kisses him on the cheek and he explodes 

B (funny): he does the same thing to alice and shes like ‘you didnt really hit on me though’ and hes like ‘oh? well i thought about it. a lot’ and she slaps him 

C (sad): in ztd, phi misses the sigma she met. she’s used to a silly but wildly inappropriate old dude, she doesn’t like this serious and stoic young dude. it’s really uncomfortable. 

junpei (zero escape): 

A (realistic): he uses hair gel 😘 

B (funny): he knows he’s hot, and he is INSUFFERABLY SMUG. ‘would you stop going around base with no shirt on it’s unprofessional’ ‘why akane does this BOTHER YOU *runs hand through hair and smolders*’ 

C (sad): he remembers every bad timeline from 999. you’d think he’d be haunted by like, clover with an axe, but mostly he has nightmares about snake caught in the coffin. 

D (my city now): somebody in america taught him how to dress lmao

magnus burnsides (the adventure zone): 

A (realistic): he's a dog person but he's ok with cats too. he's not good at treating them how they like, but he likes them. they remind him of taako. 

B (funny): what if he was trans and had magic bottom surgery and became considerably bigger than average and thats why he always gets squawky when anybody implies anything about his dick size 

C (sad): he still has moments of dissociation where all his sensations go numb like when he was a mannequin 

D (my city now): magnus is asexual from trauma post julia but pre and during julia he was... kind of a horndog oops

juno steel (the penumbra podcast): 

A (realistic): he didn't tell anyone he was nb until he was like 35. vicki picked up on it before he had figured it out himself. not counting her, the first person to know was rita, which is one of the many reasons he can never fire her. 

B (funny): he's really into chinese food which is unfortunate bc the only good chinese food he can get in town is owned by the triad

C (sad): he's never been off mars. never had the means. both cassandra and his own nature have made him desperate to see the rest of the galaxy, which is why peter's offer was so tempting, but he's too terrified of being legitimately happy and losing it later. 

D (my city now): he got married when he was like 22, and the guy quickly devolved into being cruel and horrible. juno suffered through it for a couple years then went fuckin carrie underwood on his ass and split

twogami (dangan ronpa):

 A (realistic): postgame, he is one of the most forgiving of komaeda's behavior. people dismiss it as him not having to deal with post ch1 koma firsthand, but it's mostly because he's a very compassionate dude. 

B (funny): he and togami would get along fucking great when hes twogami. posing as anyone else or himself, hes a little appalled by togamis... togaminess 

C (sad): postgame he finds out akane starved herself and takes her under his wing 

D (my city now): he and ryouta are fucking married i know this because i went to the ceremony and it was beautiful

juuzou sakakura (dangan ronpa): 

A (realistic): he is autistic and very bad with people and words and things that arent punching 

B (funny): this gap moe ass man loves stuffed animals. chisa gave him one once at a festival and he was like IM NOT CRYING YOURE CRYING STOP CRYING YOURE MAKING ME CRY

C (sad): juuzou’s not good with words so he can’t say what munakata is to him precisely, but he's not his best friend. that was chisa. :’( 

D (my city now): hes ALIVE and he FOUND MUNAKATA and he SUPPORTS HIM WITH HIS LIFE even though all munakata is doing with his life is like. starting a post apocalyptic animal shelter

yomo (tokyo ghoul): 

A (realistic): hinami helps him learn to read ;3; 

B (funny): he does fingerpainting with touken’s kid and gets inordinately proud/emotional about his own painting 

C (sad): he asks haiseneki to tell him about what arima was like. it's a difficult conversation, but yomo seems to find it important, so they do it. 

D (my city now): he and uta got married at one point. probably drunk. yomo doesn’t wear the ring, but he keeps it in a safe place.

[morphogenetic]

everyone always says dr fans will like ze, but will ze fans like dr? i tried it back in the day but didnt finish because my emulator was very janky, then the fandom got very weird so i've avoided it for years

ironically I think some dr fans will not like ze because there is too much reading but thats not what you're asking so

okay so take my opinion with a grain of salt here, because i have EXTREMELY pretentious media taste due to my first non-pokemon video game being 999. and also I have not finished all of them yet bc im still in the middle of dr2.

honestly comparing ze and dr feels...weird? yes they're both death games yes spikechun made both of them, but they have DRASTICALLY different tones and structures to them so its hard to compare them 1-to-1. so everything im going to say here isn't really specific to ze fans specifically since they just apply In General

That Said:

dr1: is bad imo. trials drag, characters are super fucking flat, the protagonist has the personality of a rock. it feels like a concept game for sdr2 LOL. however it does set up some things that sdr2 seems to be bringing back and it does absolutely reference it so. idk how to handle that. this isnt just like "ze fans won't like it" it is genuinely baffling to me how this EVER got a fandom in the first place

sdr2: short answer is "50 hours played [NOT RECOMMENDED]" lol. long answer is "sometimes the gameplay makes me want to die and a few of the characters are absolutely insufferable, but when its good its actually genuinely good for once." the protag is actually interesting which is a fucking improvement. komaeda is hysterical. i had a strong emotional reaction provoked from one of the trials bc the motive was actually VERY solid for once.

as someone else compared it to me: very junky fast food. there is so much wrong with it but the characters are actually FUN (if very anime) and komaeda is absolutely hysterical. i would not go into it expecting a masterpiece but if you go in expecting a b movie horror film you will be delighted. my expectations were SO low after dr1 and I am happy to have enjoyed it more than I thought i would so far

can't say if it sticks the landing or not yet though LOL

v3: cannot speak on this everyone either loves it or hates it with no in between but I have no opinion yet since. Havent Played It
