Yesterday is Valentine’s Day ! well, i meant to post it On the day but I passed out before I finished proof Reading-

Anyways, well what does a single person do with his free time on that day ? Write fanfic of course!

Here is some RadioApple !!

Valentine's Day Surprise !

Today was Valentines Day and All around the hotel People gave gifts to their lovers, or to their Crushes.

Husker had Finally confessed to Angel and it was a nice sight. Almost everyone had gotten a gift with the intent of Romantic Love, and Boy was lucifer depressed. Of course Charlie had given a Gift but that was different. He had hoped for somone else to give one.

A couple days prior he had Asked the Radio Demon his thoughts on Valentines Day, for Lucifer, he Personally wasnt fond of it since Lilith had Left him. He also remembered the Day Cupid Was created for the Holiday. But now he was curious, what did his crush Think about the Holiday? 

“ Its Scandilous. “ 

“ Im sorry what? “ he blurted out. Alastor Looked At lucifer With an Odd Expression, 

“ The only Reason I Dont dissapear On this day to get away from all this lovey Dovey Nonesense, Is that Rosie Gives me The hottest gossip she has, for mostly break up, “ he suddenly appeared sadistic as if thinking about Previous Valentines. 

“ Oh! Oh, Right, Yes, “ Lucifer luaghed nervously, “ I mean, I dont either phht- i mean i Was There when they made Valentines Day and My first thought was; ‘ Hey, now thats STUPID ‘ “ He luaghed more awkwardly, and then turned feeling severely disappointed. Alastor Raised an Eyebrow. 

Cbsck to present day, he was waving away Charlie And Vaggie, they were going to a fancy restaurant and Lucifer volunteered to Watch over the Hotel

“ Are you Reallyyyy Sure that you dont want to hand over the Responsibitly over to Al? Dont you think you should have fun too? “ She said with Sad eyes, Lucifer shook his head.

“ Nope! Bitch you know i prefer Ruling Hell than get a date for this holiday, HA! “ He said very awkwardly. Charlie nodded, after a brief connection of eyes with Vaggie she turned to leave with His Duaghter. He sighed,

“ they grow up so fast, “ He went back in. He looked around, the hotel was closed for guests today so that leaves only Nifty and he to be present. he Assumed that Alastor was with The cannibal Overlord due to his comment a couple days ago. 

Today it was the most quietest hes heard the Hotel,

it felt like Being in the royal Castel again… All alone. Lucifer groans, he leaned against a wall and put his face on his Hands. He never realized how sofficating Silence was. 

After he moved into the hotel to Help his daughter he was too busy to feel Depression, but now, with nothing to do and no one to talk to, he could feel it settling in like a dark cloud.

He was alone, Again, on Valentines day,

it reminded him about how much more Lilth is happier without him..

He heard a squeak,  “ Ultamte Bad Boy! Come here!!  “ Nifty giggled, he put his hands down. She was very jittery Her bouncing, 

“ What is it Nifty? “ He said softly, she ran up to him and Grabbed his hand, 

“ Come on ! i have to take you somewhere! “ she said excitedly. 

“ Wha- Where?! “ He stammered, for someone as tiny as Her she was surprisingly Strong. she pulled him up to the elevator to go to the very top. She didnt say much during the ride but she persistently keep his hand in hers and she was muttering words he could not understand. 

The Elevator Opened and she started pulling him to the left. She stopped at the door that led to the patio. 

“ Go, Go, go! “ She said pushing him a little, then rushed away, luaghing. 

“ Weirddd “ Lucifer Said to himself.

what on earth was that? He thought. Why would she want him to be here? Maybe to see a new collection of dead insects, or alive. he pulled out the bug spray he had in his pocket preparing for what would be behind the doors.

He pushed it open,

Lucifer dropped the can and his eyes widened. In front of him was a small table. Alastor, with a wide smile, was sitting on one of the seats. He got up,

Lucifer shut the door immediately and leaned against. He could hear his heart beating, 

“ Fuck, Fuck, Fuck, “ He muttered repeatedly under his breath, Lucifer felt His Face heat up and His legs threatened to Give in. he did not expect this, he wished for something but he didnt think it would actually be answered.

He wasnt ready, all he was ready for is to go to his room and be alone with his depressing thoughts.

In front of him the shadow morphed and Alastor appeared, 

“ Your Duaghter Acts much like you, “ He stated, titling his head. Lucifer was stunned, all he could do was smile slightly, He couldnt speak. The Radio Demon saw that and took advantage.

“ I must say I prepared this for you and it was quite rude for you to slam the Door on such a thing, “ He put his hands behind his back and waited for the others response. 

Lucifer blinked, suddenly he was able to move. He cleared his throat, 

“ um, yes sorry about that- “ he forced out. The silence was ackward as Alastor seemed to be thinking, 

“ Well my dear I think we should start this over, “ He Held out his hand. “ May you join me for dinner, “ Lucifer stared at it, 

the thoughts of being alone for valentines day for the 10th year in a row dawned on him.

He didnt want that again, he wanted to be happy, he didnt want to keep deppressing over someone that didnt like him.

He should be looking forward to the one who does.. And he was right in front of him. 

A sudden burst of courage came to him, he gave his hand To alastor, which made him chuckle a little, 

“ good, thank you, “ Lucifers heart skipped a beat.

He led him by the hand and pulled a seat back. as Lucifer sat down Alastor kept his hand on his, once he was settled, he leaned forward and kissed Lucifer’s hand.

“ My highness “ he spoke, “ oh my Me, he said ‘ My ‘ instead of you, MY HIGHNESS “ Lucifer screamed in his head like a teenage girl.

“ in front we have a fantastic meal of deer that I picked and killed myself, I hope it is to your liking, “ he said while opening the cloche to reveal a fantastical meal.

“ why thank you Alastor, “ Lucifer said hiding his blushing face, he wondered why he was doing this, he never thought Alastor thoughtful.

“ may I ask why you are doing this? I thought you didn’t like Valentine’s Day “ he blurted out, As Alastor served both of them he looked up,

“ well a couple days ago you asked me about Valentine’s Day and I couldn’t help but notice your expression when i responded. “ Lucifer looked guilty, “ so I asked my mo- Rosie what I should do and she cheerfully helped me exert this wonderful dinner. “ he gestured around. Lucifer smiled helplessly,

“ oh, t-thank you Alastor, I’ve never saw you as a type to be romantic, “ Alastor smiled more genuinely,

“ well anything for my dear highness, “ he kissed Lucifer’s hand again, giving him butterflies.

It was a splendid meal, and the night was a dinner he won’t ever forget, he has never felt this alive in years.

They chatted all dinner, they laughed and even Alastor told him how it was like on earth, and the good things about. It made Lucifer relieved, that did not only sprout evil on earth, but buetiful things aswell.

Once they finished, Alastor spoke,

“ well, I must say, I now understand why people celebrate this vile holiday, if you find the right one.. it’s quite enjoyable, “ He looked deeply into Lucifer’s eyes, whose widened.

“ Right.. one ? “ Alastor nodded. It was a confession, Lucifer felt like he was about to faint,

“ Yes! “ he exclaimed getting up, he cleared his throat, blushed embarrassingly. “ I mean, I also agree, and this was wonderful, thank you Alastor. Tonight’s has been wonderful “ The Radio Demon got up aswell, he held out his hand, and Lucifer took it.

“ We aren’t done yet. I think we also have a reservation in your quarters.

“ Wait what? “ he said curiously, as they walked towards his room Alastor turned and winked,

“ Oh. “ Lucifer got the hint, he blushed then giggled,

“ oh Alastor, this has been my favorite Valentine’s Day for the first time in Eons “ Alastors eyes sparkles

“ that’s saying something if you were here before the birth of earth, “ Alastor said, Lucifer kissed the side of his chin. The walked in Lucifer’s quarters and closed the door

—

A couple hours later they were both laying on Lucifer’s bed. Alastor stared at Lucifer as he slept, he immediately passed out after he put one Pj clothes. The short king face was passive, he was like a kitten when he slept, he was adorable.

Adorable?

He has only called people adorable to spite people, but now he knew it was a genuine thought. He has never felt this way before, not even when he was alive.

“ Dad, Dad? “ Charlie knocked on the door. Alastor opened it with a flick of a hand, he did not want her to disturb his highness.

“ Dad? I was just wondering how you were doing. Nifty was acting weird but she said that you went u- “ she stopped immediately when she saw Alastor holding her dad defensively.

“ oh. Um well, ha I didn’t mean to disturb you, sorry! “ she stammered scooting back,

“ say a word to anyone and I will make love to your father again. “ he said roughly, narrowing his eyes. Her face cringed,

“ I did not need to know you did, to begin with, “ she shut the door quietly. Alastor Rolled his eyes,

Alastor felt Lucifer cuddle deeper in his chest, he sighed peacefully. Alastor leaned to kiss his head, which Lucifer unconsciously leaned toward it. Alastor laid his head on top of the blonde-haired and went to sleep.

The End.

The Make Love thing was inspired by a post I saw [ I don't remember where tho ]

JFHGJDSH I DIDNT KNOW YOU DID MCYT BC YAYYYYYYYY /POS

UHH COULD I PLEASEEE GET SOME HEADCANONS FOR REGRESSOR C!TOMMY AND MAYBE UHH IF YOU KNOW ABT QSMP , SOME FOR REGRESSOR Q!JAIDEN?? IF NOT THATS FINE THANK YOUUU <33333 /P

srry for all caps i got realllllly excited !!

Regressor!CTOMMY 🍓

🛸 a/n, Hello Tommie!! 👋 nice to say hi:D honestly, funfact! I was always planning to add mcyt to my ABC list but was nervous to^^" doesn't matter though bc we're here rn! So here you go! + Q!regressor Jaiden hcs as well (just getting into the QSMP, so bare with me jajs)

🍼 image credits : middle image is from ApolloSauce on pinterest — the other images are also from pinterest !

⚠️ : Bug mentioning (stuffie species + brief)

🍓 hc count : 13 + 5

🍓 : Tommy is a bunch of.. something. Especially when regressed. And that isn't a bad thing! Hes such a mischievous fluffball that is always craving attention from either his friends, sibbies, caretakers or babysitters!

🍓 : oh he bites.. he bites and bites some more. He can either bite when he wants attention or he's fussy and wants something. If he bites lightly to where you cant feel it when he's doing it to get your attention. (Or to get on your nerves) if he bites to where you'll wince or anything— then better give your full attention to him>:(

🍓 : pouty, especially when tired. He barely listens to the rules and loves to get into stuff he can't get into, and that especially includes bedtime. Will throw fits, do tiny stomps and cries. Don't worry though, Tommy literally trained himself to cry when he needed to (mostly to get out of bedtime or wanting extra attention) but usually that backfires when he tires himself out then he goes down for the nap

🍓 : do not let the boy get ahold of enderpearls for the sake of anyone babysitting/watching over him— he doesn't usually get far but he got into a tree and refused to get out. Spent hours trying to lure and get Tommy out of the tree.. safe to say it wasn't gonna happen again anytime soon

🍓 : unsure about his little age but I think he'd be in-between a young kid regressor and toddler. Maybe around 4-9. When he's the most active he'll most likely be around 8-9! When he's In the slow energy and fussy days he's about 4-6

🍓 : do not separate him from his tubbo disc. He'll throw a fit and bite someone. When he has ahold of this disc he won't let it go. Takes it to his adventures and makes his sitters play it on repeat

🍓 : has a raccoon stuffie named Rexus and a beetle stuffie named stray. Like tubbo's disc, do not separate them. He won't stop crying until he got them back

🍓 : doesn't have a permanent cg per say, but he's babysat by a decent amount of people on the server (Tubbo, Wilbur, Phil and sometimes Bad) but I'd think he's mostly around Phil and them!

🍓 : he'd beg to play dress up with anyone he can get ahold of if they're not busy. If they agree he is the prince. No buts or whys! He's the prince afterall (he always plays the prince. If he doesn't he'll just fall to the ground and NOT move for hours until the other person decides he can be the prince)

🍓 : headcanon that tubbo and Wilbur reads books to him! Specially any fairytales that include prince and princesses or animals

🍓 : collects flowers and gives to everyone he can find,, I don't know I think its a cute hc 😭

🍓: speaking of flowers, he once made a small flower crown and tied it to the back of ranboo's tail. Safe to say that took hours of trying to get off by yourself. You can say tommy is skillful of tieing knots. How did he manage to tie stems without it snapping? Who knows!

🍓 : loves calling his caretakers Bubba. If puffy ends up being the babysitter he calls her mama!

Reg!Jaiden 🐣

🐣 : I think she regresses a bit older! Maybe around 10-12. Around rare occasions she regresses younger (6-7)

🐣 : she's a sleepy regressor. She regresses only around nighttime or when she's tired. So when she regresses she prefers low energized actives

🐣 : owns only bird gear! Clothes, onsies, sippy, stuffies and wings she made herself! She loves anything bird related ^^

🐣 : she named her favorite stuffie after Ari! You can't separate them>:(

🐣 : best little to cuddle with. She likes physical touch (specially hugs, cuddles and being held) she would be like this for hours

ok zoochosis review/critique From someone who hasnt even played the game lmao

for those who dont know, zoochosis is a horror game abt dealing with mutated animals while "interviewing" for the night shift at a sketchy zookeeper job. heads up this ended up being WAY longer than i thought itd be & it might not make any sense without having seen at least one playthru. oops!

i think it has a great premise! its got an interesting concept but it isnt done as well as it couldve been. theres a lot of questions that either get left unanswered or the youtubers ive seen play so far just didnt find the answers, which sucks. the story doesnt feel finished, & i will give the developers some slack given that the screenwriter for the game passed, but that doesnt excuse releasing the game in the state ive seen in the gameplay videos

to start, the tutorial doesnt explain everything it should. youre only guided thru Some of the main tasks & sure, ppl can figure the rest out on their own, but when the entire gameplay loop revolves around diagnosing animals you need to make sure the players know how to use all the tools to get the correct diagnoses. maybe its in character for doc, the tutorial npc/antagonist to leave you half-informed, but it can just be frustrating for the player. it isnt Too big of a deal but i have seen ppl make a few easily avoidable mistakes bc they werent properly filled in at the start

next, the bugs are Nasty, to the point of preventing you from progressing or getting the ending youre attempting to get. you have to collect parasites for a shot at getting a good ending (killing "the mother", who ill get to later) but some of the parasites will either vanish when theyre needed after collecting them or inexplicably be dead when you need them alive. ive seen animals mutate while the player was still in the exhibit & be killed, only for the mutated animal cutscene to trigger as the player was leaving. the mutant was already killed, so theyre stuck with danger music blaring & the species name & empty health bar at the top of the screen. i have yet to see manlys playthru, but i hear he suffered at the hands of bugs as well

pausing to say smth positive before i move on to my main issue, the visuals are fantastic! the animals, being the main feature of the game, are very well done & i rlly enjoy how they incorporated certain behaviors, such as the giraffes spreading their legs out to get low enough to eat out of the trough & a few of the animals randomly sparring (giraffes fighting with their necks, moose butting antlers). its a real nice touch & adds a bit more life to the animals. the mutant designs are a little hit or miss, theyre definitely scary & unsettling but some are better than others. it doesnt help that the lights in the enclosures often go out when they mutate, making it harder to even see the monster design as they scurry around

the animals you can visit rotate in & out every time you finish a run, which i guess is supposed to keep things fresh so players replay multiple times but it just gets annoying. 1 new animal every couple hours doesnt make up for the fact those animals will eventually stop being new Or that you get locked out of a different animal. why cant they just all be available & the player can choose which ones they visit each run? probably to force them to see all the mutant designs... which. all the mutant encounters play out almost the exact same way. only the elephant has an interesting mechanic, its got armor plating that you have to get rid of before you can dart it either to cure or kill it. you have to bait it into charging at a wall to knock off its plating, thats cool! it adds strategy to the fight instead of just shooting 3 times. none of the other mutants have smth like this, they just run/climb/fly around

but my main critique is the Story. it feels rushed & poorly paced. a lot of commenters on jacksepticeyes video said it wouldve worked better as a slower burn & i agree. a single night isnt enough time to let anything simmer or have any big realizations or payoff, & it makes replaying the game over & over to see more endings or get more lore incredibly tedious bc of how repetitive the tasks are

the characters motivations are either entirely unknown or not strong enough. the player, paul, takes the job in the first place bc his family is allegedly impoverished, to the degree you have the option to smuggle meat-based animal food to his wife so she & their daughter can have "real food." the reveal happens not too long after; its human meat. which, even if it Wasnt, why would he ever think to give his family animal food?? itd be nice to break things up by days with sections at home so the audience can see what his home life is like & get a better idea of why he would be so desperate

additionally, he shouldve been offered an even higher salary as hush money to give him more incentive to go along with the downright illegal things going on! paul is shockingly nonchalant abt everything going on & goes along with it with little resistance. he just tosses a LIVING WOMAN into a meat grinder bc he was told to!!!! i will say the player can choose not to do this, but itd be nice if paul at least hesitates a little so the player actually knows they have a choice & arent being forced into it to progress

doc, on the other hand, has No known motivations for any of the aforementioned illegal goings on & makes No attempt to hide it!! he doesnt even try to cover up what his whole little scheme is, doesnt try to soothe paul by claiming the woman "deserves" to die bc shes a criminal or smth, or that the bodies are sourced from somewhere "more ethical" or even try to make up some nonsense abt human meat having health benefits to the animals, he just comes out & says "yeah the animals mutate & they can only be satisfied by human flesh. dont tell anyone bc u signed an nda & itll be a violation + ill kill you" ???

he explains "the mother" sends out parasites to infect & mutate the animals but we never get to know Why. why is he going thru all the hassle of appeasing this monster? the zoo has been closed for at least a year, how are there still funds to keep everything running? he supposedly has big connections to the point cops are covering for him, but WHY? why is he so important that the cops cover for him, what do they get out of letting it all slide?? does he actually still care abt maintaining the animals or is the whole zoo now just a front to funnel in more sacrifices?? was it always that way?? where did the mother come from?? what, exactly, is she?? nothing is ever explained abt this!

By the way, theres some extra, completely missable dialogue if you grind the woman right away after being told to. you get another call where paul Attempts to protest, but doc is like "lol lmao btw you have the same parasite the animals do. maybe if you survive the night ill cure you or smth. at least the mutants see you as own of their own. also ur poor & u need the money so do this" & like. the game Starts with paul saying he might get the job if he survives, then he gets locked into the zoo & his phone taken away & it somehow doesnt raise any red flags for him while his wife is like "this isnt normal!!!!"

also, completely irrelevant, but when doc leaves he offers to tell pauls wife hes staying the night bc shes waiting outside bc yknoe. it was supposed to just be an interview. but paul says "nahh dont tell her shell figure it out" so like. wtf paul. its Raining & ur letting her stand out there waiting for you??? some husband you are :/

anyway. if the game took place over a matter of days, we could have time to adjust, rlly let things sink in & maybe get some more answers drip fed to us over time. maybe youve been smuggling meat to your wife for a few days, having it for family meals until you get your first paycheck, but now the zoos supply is out & you need to refill it; cue the human meat reveal. it would also be nice if you could monitor an animals symptoms over days & potentially prevent them from ever mutating! the games subtitle is "rescue the animals" after all. youre supposed to be able to pacify mutants by feeding them the meat along with their regular food, but if you leave to go prepare the food mix, you risk the normal animals in the enclosure getting attacked & dying!

the game leaves clues like "monitor how often an animal sleeps, it could be a symptom of illness" or "look out for wounds on the animals" but when everything can be diagnosed with the main tools, & noticing these things doesnt do anything to prevent mutation, it just ends up being useless flavor text. also, every enclosure has at least one sick animal & a mutant Every Time, theres no variety. maybe its not "scary" to not have a monster attack you every 10 minutes, but itd definitely add some suspense. maybe you cure an animal only for them to remain sick, showing that smth deeper is ailing them

a night by night system would also be more interesting storywise! instead of finding out all thr dark secrets right away, things just seem more & more strange as you go on. maybe youre advised not to look into it if you wanna keep your job so you fall into blissful ignorance so you can provide for your family. maybe you do snoop around & get offered life changing amounts of hush money for your silence, since theyd "hate to lose a good worker :((". maybe there are more employees, some innocently unaware of the truth, some burdened with the knowledge of what rlly goes on but too desperate or afraid to speak out

the woman mentioned a few paragraphs ago, the one who gets meat grinded, shes actually crucial to getting a good ending. shes sarah, an investigative journalist, & you have to rescue her so she can help you get the recipe for a poison to kill The Mother & all her parasites (which will save your life). the motivation for her murder is obvious, she was gonna leak the whole operation, but wouldnt it be much cooler if she was undercover as an employee throughout the course of the game? shes working alongside you, trying to get more info, trying to convince you "hey, isnt this weird?" only for her to vanish one night, fired for "accessing unauthorized locations." if you already have suspicions you might be inclined to dig deeper & be able to rescue her, or maybe you take her firing at face value, thats what she gets for snooping, right?

one last little thing id like to mention here, in the best ending of the game you save the woman & expose the zoo, kill the mother & doc in one fell swoop as her poison needs delivered in live food, & save your wife. thats right, your wife gets dragged into this! yknow why? bc if you dont answer her calls, she reports her worries to the police & they kill her! & you are misled into doing this!!! when you save sarah, she tells you not to call your wife back & to save your phones last bit of battery for the police when you get some more evidence, makes sense right? except if you dont, she gets killed by said police! you Have to call her back & soothe her so she doesnt report you missing at the zoo & get killed. theres No way of knowing this before it happens, forcing you to replay the game to get the best ending even if you already got the good one (but your wife died)

it couldve been so, so cool but the story especially just falls flat. it seems like they either rushed it or just cared more abt having an excuse to show off their scary monster designs & threw the story to the side. ive seen ppl complain that the game was too short for the price, but ironically you have to play it over & over for hours to get more story ...unless you happen to get the default bad/death ending & assume thats all there is. or get too frustrated by bugs & glitches that you drop it entirely. its not Awful but its definitely unpolished & it shows

[forestryfae]

oh my fuckign god "did you wash clothes today" yes hi hello how are you how are you feeling are you doing well is the depression and general lack of enrichment kicking your ass are you stressed cus you have a house and two cats and you dont know what to do with them how was christmas vacation did you have fun did you live in a house where it was a constant 10c or less except for the maybe 17c you had in your bedroom? are you getting psychiatric care and medication to help you with your mental health problems?

no cus washing clothes and bugging me about it is more important. i tried to do some yesterday but we went for a walk and it was longer than expected cus they said it was short and never elaborated so i was exhausted and pissed for the rest of the day i am constantly exhausted and pissed. i have NO energy. i cant get people to talk to me when i want them to but everyone collectively has decided that when im upset and angry is the best time to reach out, when its literally too late and im already on edge and i can not fucking communicate properly how fucking hard is it for people to just. actually acknowledge that i have depression and ocd and probably other shit too and that that takes a huge toll on me, combined with just in general having a shit physical health that means i cant go for hour long walks with NO breaks in shit weather while im walking two times faster than my usual speed cus everyone with long legs or good physical health are unwilling to slow down at all or take breaks or WAIT for those of us who need them

jesus fucking christ its so infuriating how every time we go on longer walks and the people in front of us stop theyve had like a 5 minute break. and we get there and we dont even get a break. they start walking before we even reach them. so its fucking constant. my legs are fucking aching to the point where i will start crying if i dont get to take a break but thats not important. how fucking self centered and unempathic can someone be.

literally everything is OUR responsibility but we still get treated like kids and when we do our part we get their part shoved in our faces with a fun dash of "well why did you just do this why didnt you remind us" like FUCK OFF. the assholes cant even give me my penicillin without me reminding them i have recieved NO follow up after coming back from vacation i havent had anyone to talk to and my support contact, as much as i try to give her credit for the stuff she does and i try to be grateful that she atleast tries and she wants better for me than what i have, is missing most of the time and doesnt reach out to me and is completely incapable of understanding that i need them to actually d their jobs without blaming me when shit goes wrong.

holy fucking hsit how hard would it have been for them to ask "hey i know you hate going home and didnt want to, how was it at home, what happened at your house, are you doing okay after christmas vacation? hows your teeth didnt you have a medical emergency w your teeth? how do you wnat to restart your routines do you need help with that?" like its their fucking job to help me and i get fucking nada. can people just for once actually act like i have feelings and emotions and i need them to actually be validated and acknowledged without feeling like i need to justify them and defend them every time i have them?

--Jaune was somehow jealous of them both and it was very confusing to him since he had poor self awareness

-Yang cuts Ruby's hair, but after she lost her arm she lost the fine motor skills to do a good job, so Blake started to do it

-Blake is always there to help Yang with her phantom pains and residual limb pain

--she helps massage Yang's arm while leaning close and purring

--jk but actually she's a decent dancer when she has the steps choreographed for her but she has no natural rhythm

-in the last few months before Pyrrha's death, she and Jaune would waltz on top of the roof together

--there were several almost kisses

--maybe a few successful kisses who knows

-there are occasions (obv extremely rare) when Ren actually takes the bulk of the energy from Nora

--this leads to thrilling game nights where Ren makes multiple 40pt remnant-equiv-of-scrabble plays while Nora naps

-Oscar is the only person who can beat Ren in scrabble, although it's very closely matched

-Oscar is amazing at chess and will play it against himself like a little square

-Yang and Ruby are experts at the tabletop war game they play in the library

--9 times out of 10, the winner is one of them

--his aunt would frequently bring home books from town just to keep him entertained

-Ruby has suffered from migraines and nightmares her entire life, post-Beacon they only got worse

-Weiss shops at local dust stores whenever she can, even though she could get shipments for free

--however she does have Ron Swanson's "I know more than you" energy when she's shopping

-Blake and Ren will sometimes take naps together

--not cuddling, just occupying the same general space

--wake them up at your own risk

-if Ruby isn't engaged with something, she can start to scatter and dissolve into rose petals

--its a very slow process and someone has always snapped her out of it before she's fully vanished, but Yang is worried about what would happen if no one caught her in time

-Ren is afraid of horses

-Blake hates being cold

-Yang naturally radiates heat cause semblance duh

-Weiss glued the tiniest gravity crystals to the underside of Ruby's bed to ensure it never falls

-JNPR likes to push their beds all together so they can sleep in one big pile

-Nora can only sleep if she's holding someone's hand

Hope u guys enjoyed! These are in no particular order, sorry that I kinda jumped around a lot 😅

Feel free to reblog and add your own ideas and headcanons! ❤

Same, but different.

Summary: Billy and Reader don’t particularly like each other, Billy thinks you’re a snob with a perfect life, you think Billy is an asshole with anger issues. That’s until the party starts to hang out more at your house, meaning Billy is there more often than not (because of Max) and thats when you both find out you’re more alike than you think.

-

“Can you guys keep it down?” You called out to the group, barely being heard over the sounds of the kids arguing and the obnoxious banging on the door. 

The only response you received in return was an apologetic smile from Will who seemed to be the only person who had heard you. You shook your head, unable to fight off the amused smile as the rest of the party continued to fight over who was currently winning whatever game they had decided to play for the night. Knowing they weren’t going to shut up until they came to a mutual agreement, you moved on and continued your journey to the front door, where whoever stood on the other side knocked again.

Gripping onto the cold handle, you opened the door with little effort, almost rolling your eyes at who you were now face to face with. Billy Hargrove.

You despised the teen for many reasons, the main one being that nobody stopped talking about him and it only seemed to boost his already over-the-top ego. Wherever you went, you either heard his name or saw his face and it didn’t take long for it to irritate you. It had only gotten worse once the party started spending most of their free time in your living room. The bunch had recently developed a friendship with your younger sister Alice, they shared the same interests and enjoyed her sass and quick wit (which you always argued she got from you).

But that meant that Max Mayfield, Billy’s step-sister was always over at your house - most times you found out she was over without anyone in her household knowing. You always scolded her for it when you found out, telling her that they need to know where she is at all times because, what if there was an emergency? But she didn’t seem fussed, only rolled her eyes and promised that she’d tell them from now on but she never did so you gave up with your lectures. 

“Is the little shit here again?”

Billy didn’t bother with a hello, getting straight to the point but you didn’t care. You wanted to get him away from your house as quickly as possible.

“If you mean Max then yes. But I’m only willing to go and get her for you, if you ask me nicely.” You crossed your arms over your chest, raising a brow as you awaited his next response. 

He shot you a dirty look, taking a cigarette out of the box he had been holding since you opened the door.

“I don’t have time to play your games (Y/L/N). Just go get her, tell her she should’ve been home an hour ago.” He grumbled, lighting the cigarette that now hung from his lips.

You didn’t move, not an inch. You stood in the same place and stared back at Billy. It only took him a second to realise you weren’t doing what he had told you to do and your stubbornness annoyed him more than he already was when he first arrived.

“Jesus Christ, can you go get her please?”

You smiled at your achievement, it wasn’t something many people could do: get Billy Hargrove to use his manners. You nodded your head, holding up two fingers to signal you’d only be two seconds. He didn’t say anything back, only puffed at the poison stick blowing the fumes into your house.

Half jogging into the living room, your eyes focused on the kids who had stopped arguing over who was winning - only now they were arguing over who was in last place. Sometimes it amazed you how they managed to remain friends.

“Um... Max? Billy’s here. Said something about you being an hour late.” You interrupted their heated debate, they all fell silent at the mention of Billy.

Max threw her cards down on the table, sighing at the thought of leaving her friends and having to put up with Billy for the next half an hour as he drove her home. She said bye to the others, to which they all responded to with their own ‘Goodbyes’ and ‘See you laters’. You smiled at the redhead when she approached you, which she gladly returned. You hadn’t known her for long, maybe two months at the most? But she had quickly become like another little sister to you. She always came to you when things were bothering her. You let her rant and gave her any advice you could manage and she adored you for it.

You led her to the front door which was still open, and you leaned against the doorframe whilst you patiently waited for her to put on her shoes which she had kicked off as soon as she got to your house over three hours ago now. 

“Are you coming by again tomorrow?” You asked her.

“No.”

“Yes.”

Both Billy and Max answered at the same time, you looked between the two wanting to laugh at the fact they both wore the same annoyed expression on their faces.

“You think I’m gonna let you out again after the shit you pulled tonight? Do you think I enjoy coming all the way out here for you Maxine? At this time? You’re a pain in my ass.” 

Billy finished his small rant by throwing down his cigarette, squishing it into the concrete with the heel of his boot. Max didn’t respond, only pushed past the two of you with an empty look which tugged at your heartstrings. 

“Hey, don’t be a dick to her Hargrove. She’s just a kid, they always lose track of time when they’re with their friends. I’m guessing you don’t know what that’s like considering you’ve never had any?” You fired, sending him the meanest glare you could manage.

He chuckled at the insult at first, taking a quick glance into your house. “You’re the one with a house full of kids (Y/N). Don’t have any friend’s your own age?” 

With that, he winked at you and strutted away over to his infamous blue Camaro, probably thinking he was amazing for the comeback he had thrown at you. You didn’t bother to waste your energy saying anything back, you knew he’d only enjoy the fact he’d gotten under your skin. Instead you slammed the front door shut, mumbling about how much you hated the mullet haired bastard under your breath. 

-

It was now just past 10:00pm and you had waved goodbye to the last member of the party, Mike’s Dad had disappeared down the street after spluttering a wide range of apologies at you for being late. Something about how he thought Karen was coming to collect him, but when he’d gotten home after a late night shift he realised she hadn’t bothered. Maybe if she knew Billy came over for Max every now and again she’d be more than eager to come get her son. 

With an exhausted sigh, you returned to your living room for what felt like the 50th time tonight.

“Come on Alice, you need to get ready for bed now.” You told your sister, her back was towards you as she continued to clean up after her friends.

You joined her on the floor, picking up the cards that Dustin had launched across the room in anger after Lucas had accused him of cheating for the third time. 

“Is Mom gonna be home tonight?” 

Her voice was quiet, you almost thought you had imagined it until you glanced over to her, only to see her already looking back at you. 

You could only shrug, looking back down at your hands, trying to distract yourself by putting the cards into a neat pile.

“I don’t know. I don’t think so, I’m sure she would’ve stumbled in by now.”

You kept your tone light and easy, not wanting to upset Alice.

She sighed but nodded. “You’re probably right.”

Putting the cards back into the box, you opened your arms gesturing Alice to come in for a hug. She didn’t waste any time and launched herself into your comforting embrace. You rubbed her back, pressing a gentle kiss to her head at one point.

“Don’t worry about it too much bug, she’ll probably make an appearance tomorrow like she always does. You know what she’s like.” You paused letting her soak up your words before you spoke again, “Go get into bed, I’ll finish up cleaning. Can’t have you being grumpy at school tomorrow, you’re already on thin ice.”

“That wasn’t even my fault! Miss Richardson is just overdramatic!” She exclaimed, pulling back from your embrace.

You laughed at her reaction, now standing up and helping her do the same. “Oh I’m sure she is, but still.. you need to make sure you don’t get into any more trouble. Can’t have people calling around here.”

You knew at her young age she wouldn’t understand how serious it would be if a teacher came over to speak to your Mom, only to find out she’s not at home and that, honestly, she’s hardly ever here. But she wasn’t stupid either. She knew it wasn’t a good thing that you were practically raising her yourself at this point, and that if people found out changes would be made. Changes that neither of you would enjoy.

So with a sigh, she nodded. “I’ll try.”

—

The next day you made your way to your locker, pushing past a few people who seemed to be walking as slow as they could just to annoy you. You eventually arrived at the same dull coloured locker you looked at almost every single day, and began exchanging the books you no longer needed for the ones you did need. Concentrating on the books, a loud thud beside you made you jump, your hand pressing against your chest in shock.

Looking to your side, you frowned at the sight of Billy leaning against the locker next to yours with a smug grin.

“Should be paying more attention to your surroundings, sweetheart. I could’ve been here to attack you.” He tutted, shaking his head.

“What do you want Hargrove?” You asked, now closing your own locker to focus all your attention on him.

He slipped his hand into his denim jacket, pulling out a slip of paper and holding it out to you. You stared down at it in confusion, focusing on the messy handwriting that was scrawled across it.

“Why are you giving me your number?”

He stood up straighter looking a tad bit annoyed at the fact you hadn’t taken it from him yet, so instead he just shoved it in your pocket, keeping his hand inside whilst he explained so you couldn’t take it out.

“It’s for when Max decides she wants to sneak over again. I need you to call me when she does, so I’m not looking like an idiot searching all over Hawkins for the little brat.” He told you, which was half true.

He hated driving around from house to house trying to figure out which friend she had decided to sneak off with, but he also hated the verbal and sometimes physical abuse he received from his Dad whenever Neil figured out Max wasn’t in her room, or anywhere else in the house - though of course he’d never tell you that part.

“Fine.” You agreed, “I’ll let you know, but don’t come storming over in one of your moods when you have to come get her.”

“Fine.”

After that was said, both of you fell silent not really knowing what else to say. He removed his hand from your pocket, but remained pressed up against the locker beside you. You zipped up your bag, placing the strap back over your shoulder and made a move to get to class, but a grip on your arm prevented you. You planned on tugging yourself away, and giving Billy a harsh glare with a few not so friendly words. But then you realised the grip was gentle and all of a sudden everything you had planned vanished from your mind and instead your were looking back at the taller boy waiting to see what he wanted.

“Are you okay? You look exhausted.”

Now this stunned you. His voice, which always held a hint of annoyance or amusement had been stripped of both and instead he sounded both genuine and concerned. He had never been this way towards you, the pair of you were always throwing insults to one and other, it was weird but the fact that you didn’t mind it made the situation even more bizarre. Recovering from the initial shock, you nodded in response.

“I’m okay. I just had to stay up a little later last night, the kids left me a mess to clean up but I don’t mind.” You told him, which was half true.

The party had left your living room and even a little bit of your kitchen a mess: things had been thrown, drinks had been spilt and half eaten food had been left behind. It took you just over an hour to get it all spotless and back to normal. But you also had a younger sister to look after, and exams to study for, and a part time job that you got in order to help with looking after your sister. All of it left you with not that many hours to sleep and so you attended school with five hours of sleep if you were lucky - though of course you’d never tell him that part.

He didn’t seem to buy it though, staring at you for a few seconds longer before finally nodding, accepting the fact you wouldn’t be telling him anything else. Not that he blamed you. You weren’t exactly best friends. He released the hold he hand on your arm and you didn’t spare him another glance, instead you just sped down the still semi-busy corridor not wanting to be late to class.

Billy watched you, he was intrigued. And he made a promise to himself to find out what you were hiding.

hi! this is my first time writing on tumblr, i usually post my stuff on wattpad but recently i’ve been obsessed with this app and i’ve been reading almost everything steve + billy related. this mini series is something i’ve been wanting to write for awhile now and i’m finally getting it done! i hope you enjoy it, sorry if there’s any mistakes i missed!

[beskar-cowboy]

I'm sorry but I just keep coming back to it...can you please BANG out an Ezra story?? 😏 Looks like you wanted to, so do it!!! Your writing is fantastic!

oh my gosh thank you so much for requesting!!! have you been reading my tags?! :)))) i AM cooking up a little ezra story so here is a totally improvised, bullshitted excerpt from something that i may or may not be including in it! i hope this doesn’t totally suck, it took a turn i was not expecting it to take lol.

(850 words) NSFW - mentions of sexual activities, mentions of food (i think that’s it? let me know if i’ve missed something!) 

***

The digs start early.

You learned quickly that Ezra likes to make the most of his days. Getting up bright and early and setting foot outside the tent much earlier than he would like to. He’s still dealing with the learning curve of losing his arm and whatnot.  

Some days you go with him, other days you stay in the tent to work on your diagrams and write ups on the unique flora and fauna of the Green.

Today was a day that you happen to accompany Ezra.

You follow behind him, notebook in hand as you survey for unique bugs as he does the same with the ground, looking for aurelac deposits, for signs of roots and hidden gems beneath the surface of the alien moon. Some days when you two don’t speak much, he’ll walk along ahead of you, not bothering to stop and see what you’re looking at if you happen to spot a new bug or plant. Other days he lingers and asks questions. Today he’s quiet.

Which you’re actually thankful for, for once.

You’re not quite sure what’s compelled you to come up with this little plan, but you’ve hatched it nonetheless. Over the past few weeks you’d been harvesting and growing up a little collection of edible vegetation that you’ve managed to catalogue in hopes of making a real dinner for once.

All the food the two of you have is rations: all dried, dehydrated, powdered, blended or pre-made. It’s all mush and you’re sick of it. You’re sure Ezra is too.

Today you’re in search of edible bugs to finally cross off your list, the last ingredients for the little food bowl you’ve cooked up in your mind and will actually cook up later tonight.

You sort of want to surprise Ezra with it. You’re still not sure why, but whatever. He works incredibly hard, much harder than you, especially with the one arm. All you do is look at bugs, animals, plants. He mines for precious, expensive gemstones.

Even if your relationship is strange, very professional, even cold at times, there was still a lingering of some sort behind all of that. You won’t dare name it. You can’t.

It’s in the lingering of his eyes out on digs, protective perhaps as he surveys the area for deposits and threats alike, making sure he doesn’t stray too far from you even when it looks like his back is completely turned on you and he couldn’t care less.

The lingering on the way your hand moves over your notebook or notepad with a pencil or pen in hand, the way your wrist curls along with your letters across the old worn paper as you scribble down notes about some fucking bug thats apparently so interesting and unique.

The lingering and fixation on your lips, the way they form around words and smile a bit when you get particularly excited about something: a plant, a little animal. Whatever it is, it makes your eyes sparkle and that makes Ezra feel a little funny inside.

He doesn’t linger on that thought too much though.

Not even when his eyes linger in the darkness of the tent tracking you like a predator would its prey, when the sun is long past the horizon and it’s hard to see anything other than your silhouette. Especially when he’s pressed up right against you, fucking you into the wall, your cot, his cot, over your work chair which you sit in too fucking often but he won’t tell you that.

No, he doesn’t linger on that thought too much. Not when you’re trembling beneath him like a flower in the wind and crying out his name, begging for more when he’s already pummeling you into oblivion.

Your body lingers on that, especially when you follow him out on digs the next day. Like today.

There’s a funny sway to your walk, one that has Ezra refraining from commenting on in hopes of avoiding sounding like a complete douchebag. You always feel him the next day, it's not something you particularly mind, sometimes it's comforting, especially when you two don’t talk or you’re left alone in the tent writing while he’s out on a dig. 

So as some sort of weird ‘thanks for keeping me sane on this alien moon by fucking me dumb every night’, you’ve decided you’re going to make him some good, normal food for once.

You smile to yourself as you pluck a bug matching your diagrams from a tree branch and plop it into your jar filled with similar bugs. Ezra stops ahead of you and turns to look at what you’ve found.

“Found something good there, little dove?” He draws out in that accent that makes your knees feel a little weak, maybe it's just the toxins from the dust getting into your system. You’d rather it be that. Better than feeling all warm and fuzzy when he calls you his little dove.

You smile something knowing as you place the jar back in your bag and replacing it with your notebook filled with drawings. Ezra being ever the smart and cunning man knows you’ve got something up your sleeve. He’s been trying to figure it out all morning.

“Maybe.” You smirk. Ezra shakes his head, you think he smiles too. 

[spotsupstuff]

Im feeling soft as hell and Broken Shield simply wont fucking leave me alone, which Im not strong enough to fight bc Im having the time of my life, so some facts about WonWan!Tiso overall and few about his relationship with Broo:

Hes really bad with relationships. Like, even back home, in his colony, he didnt get to have too many friends

He managed to have only one friend that he hung around almost all the time with (Spencer ;) ) who I dont have anything on yet, except the fact that they were much more responsible than Tiso and knew him since they hatched

One day the colony got raided or something, Tiso tried to prove himself as a capable amazing warrior. And how the tropes go, Spencer gets killed in the process of saving Tisos ass

Tiso, quite frankly absolutely destroyed from such loss, makes himself a shield out of Spencers armor and writes a note for himself: “In memory of Spencer, dont forget”

The name at some point gets scratched out and he forgets. I might do a story once about him remembering again and journeying back home to investigate or smth but that is so far in the future that I cannot promise anything

Tiso leaves and enters the Wastelands. He travels for long, collects more expreriences, becomes a better fighter, even if his combat skills are focused on survival more than effectivity (such is why he gets far in the Colosseum, but then gets his ass kicked by the Mawlek)

His social skills are pretty much shit and he knows this, but tries to ignore it bc “strong warriors dont need companions”

His story arc in WonWan during Ghosts journey through Hallownest is the same, except the Trial of Fool - he does it with Ghost by his side (against his will)

Thats how he manages not to die, too. Ghost beats God Tamer and then races to stop the bugs that run the whole place from throwing him into Kingdoms Edge

He ends up living in Dirtmouth and after the infection passes, Myla moves in with him and they become these awkward as hell roomies (their house ends up being right next to the siblings)

And now for Broken Shield -jazz hands-

They stay friends for FUCK ALL LONG before developing their relationship further

Like they even start pining after each other at some point a bit, but both of them are like “no, I can NOT feel that towards him/them, theres just no fucking way”

Hollow was the only one who could see this and HAD prodded Brooks about it so they kind of ended up as their counselor which somehow worked out kinda okay

They fought together in the Colosseum and actually won all the trials before admitting their feelings for each other (Broo taught Tiso a bit about fights so his skills got more refined)

Right to that: they admit they want to be together after they get surprised attacked by some bugs- idk man- and Broo ends up pushing themselves too much and almost dies again bc of their heart going “no, thanks, Im quitting this bullshit”

Tiso carries them home for Ghost to fix and the falls asleep at their side (WonWan discord yall know what Im talkin bout ;) ). After Broo wakes up- and just stares at him for a while- they wake him up, too. He kinda breaks down and lets himself be truly vulnerable to them. Fluff ensues and then they admit they want to be partners. They proceed to fall asleep in each others arms

Nothing much changes at first, maybe they just stand closer next to each other, maybe they arent so afraid/embarrassed to lean against the other

Broo makes the first steps to make the relationship feel more natural. They pull Tiso along to learn their sign language more intensely (he isnt against it at all- he might have needed a moment when he understood multiple sentences for the first time to stabilize himself and not cry like a lil grub). They make it a point to tell him often how much they love him and dont expect him to say it back for quite long time. They figured it must be harder for him bc of smth in his past

At some point Brooks moves in with Tiso and Myla and its incredible fun and the amount of times Myla laughed bc of them or schooled them in something are incredible. Shes very supportive of their relationship and tries to offer good advice whenever one of them needs it

They get comfortable with each other both really slowly and a bit too fast at the same time. Once they get finally going, they often end up holding each other or just nuzzling close, especially in their free time. After 8pm its cuddles time!!!

Bonus, both Tiso and Myla often find Brooks doing this shit when they say they are going to cook dinner:

plsss does anyone know how to analyze dreams i'm losing my mind

i had this dream like 3 months ago and i can't stop thinking about itttt

i'm really curious as to what you guys interpret this as, because it's by far the weirdest dream i've ever had. by the way, i wasn't in this dream at all for the most part. it was like i was watching a clip show or something. i'll describe the sections of the dream individually, but they were sort of cut and pasted together, like if you were to start one movie, pause it, start another movie, pause that one, then go back to the previous movie, and so on. there were two 'main storylines,' i think. one involved a lady and her brother trying to tell the lady's husband that she wanted a divorce, but for some reason they never outright said it. i don't remember if they had names, so i'll call them L (lady), B (brother) and H (husband). i don't remember a lot of the dialogue exactly, but L and B were sitting with H at a kitchen table. L was wearing her wedding dress and was talking to H. i remember that L and B used a lot of metaphors and analogies to try and get H to take the hint about L wanting a divorce, such as a spot of darkness in a normally light room, one dead flower in a field, etc. H was just completely clueless, or maybe in denial about it. after one of these analogies, B said something like "and that's why L needs to take off her wedding dress." i don't know what happened after that. the second 'main story' was about a group of women living in a clearing in a forest. they lived in huts made of grass and branches and spent their time collecting flowers in the forest. they didn't have any modern technology like cars, phones, not even lightbulbs. they all wore white sun dresses, and the clearing had tall yellow grass that was about knee height. so these women were walking around and going about their day i guess, and every single one of them was carrying a bundle of wildflowers. it was super sunny as well. there was a sign right where field met forest warning people not to go into a certain part of it or they might encounter HIM. HE looked like a completely normal man, except for one thing. where a person would have a head and neck, HE had a floating log. apparently HE was incredibly dangerous, and even though there was a very small chance of encountering HIM, and only in one part of the forest, no one dared to go there because they were so afraid. i never found out why everyone was scared of HIM or why HE was so dangerous, by the way. there was also a part of the dream that took place at some kind of animal daycare. all of the animals were in a big concrete room, and they were all dogs except for one, which was a miniature horse. the dogs were all wearing shirts that had things written on them, but i don't remember what any of them said except for one, which was black and had "THIS SHIRT WILL NOT HURT YOU" printed on it in big white letters. nothing interesting happened there as far as i remember, but the horse did come into play a little later. in the same field where the women had been previously, there was now nothing except for the grass. no huts and no people. there was a circular area that had been cut, kind of like a crop circle, and the horse was standing in the middle of it. he (the horse) looked around before going to the edge of the circle and starting to eat the grass, presumably to clear a path out. and this is the weirdest part. i wasn't present for the whole dream (as stated previously, it was like watching a movie) except for the end. i was in the field again. this time, the huts were still there and everything looked normal except for the complete lack of people. well, besides me. and HIM. remember the log head guy from earlier? HE was there and was standing right in front of me. HE spoke to me too, even though HE had no mouth. HIS voice seemed to be coming from the log. i don't know how HE was speaking. anyway, HE had a table next to HIM, with all kinds of jars that contained various insects. apparently HE had collected them all.

then he said we were gonna play russian roulette. that basically meant that he would open the jars and see if whatever was inside would attack me or not. as far as i remember i don't get attacked by any bugs tho

so yeah thats it PLEASE HELP I AM LOSING MY MIND

[musubiki]

Your Leon/Sonia headcanons have watered my crops and cleared my skin. Do you have more? Like maybe before Leon became champion, or after Hop helps as his assistance (also do you think that Yamper reflects how Sonia feels about her growth, unevolved whereas she witnessed Leon's Charmander grow into a powerful Charizard? And yet still helping him find his way?)

OH I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT THE YAMPER THING!!!!!! THATS SUCH GOOD SYMBOLISM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (i would love a scene where during a sticky situation her yamper evolves to protect her and during the same time she gains more confidence in herself to symbolize her growth as a person!!! 😭😭😭😭)

HERES SOME HCS I HAVE SO FAR THOUGH:

- sonia used to just lead leon places and he would follow her, but his sense of direction got so bad that as he would follow her he would somehow (???) still get lost??? like shed turn around and hes GONE, and gets a text 2 seconds later from leon like “im at the pkmn center where did you go” and shes just “?????????”

- so now she literally grabs his hand to not lose him

- before he became champion while they were adventuring galar together sonia would always get texts from leon like “im lost in glimwood tangle pls help” (she still gets texts like this from him sometimes)

- he always buys her food to apologize for the inconvenience/trouble 👀

- during their NEW adventures (same time as hop/glorias journey) leon is very protective of her. he never was before but since she doesnt battle anymore hes CONSTANTLY protective

- they always end up chasing down some dynamaxing anomaly. they dont always go together but almost EVERY TIME leon shows up and theres sonia, running and hiding from the big ass scary pokemon while trying to get all her research data/notes

- q leon over there yelling at her to watch out for herself more

- after the fact he tries scolding her, but she gets so excited about all her research notes and data collection, and she looks SO happy beaming and giddy telling leon he just. stops being mad. like 2 seconds later hes just watching her be cute and letting her talk his ears off about it

- sometimes they both stay at a hotel/pokemon center for various reasons. 👀 they just end up stuck there together. they go get ice cream and burgers and just chill waiting for the storm to pass watching disney movies

- they reconnected surprisingly well!! even though after lee became champion he didnt have a lot of time to visit home or visit sonia so they kind of fell out of touch a little bit, their friendship sparked back up like nothing!!!!

- sonia is the only person to ever defeat leon in a battle (before gloria). which is why in his desc. it says “Never defeated in an official battle” - because sonia defeated him in one of their casual on-the-road battles. 

- it was right after the ballonlea gym, and sonia was particularly stressed about not getting a lot of the quiz answers right, and worried about becoming a good trainer, when she runs into leon and they have a battle. 

- i dont know how she defeated 10 year old leon?? it was just one of those unlucky days for him. she actually forgot she beat him once because losing in the finals is the only significant battle with him she really ingrained

- but ANYWAY, this bugs him forever. to this day anytime anyone says “Hey!! It’s Leon, the undefeated champion!!” hes like “Yeah!!” but inside hes like “no.” (he wont tell anyone else about losing to sonia)

- he refers to sonia as his favorite rival. shes just “??? isntraihan your favorite rival?” with this face of disbelief and he just smirks and says “No hes my STRONGEST rival, not my favorite.” and she gets flustered. raihans never beat leon in a battle. sonia has

- eventually, sonia does get back into battling when leon takes over the battle tower!! since all the pokemon are set to level 50 and it relies on strategy. I THINK SHE BEATS HIM AGAIN HERE

20. What’s a headcanon you’ve always wanted to share but none of these ask memes ever ask you about it?: they used to dye their hair when they were younger!

[vividlybnha]

Hi Hi! Love your Blog! Just wanted to ask if you can do Headcannons on Shinsou and Kirishima confessing to their S/O? They’re literally my favourite bois! Lots of Love, Loopf! ^.^

Author’s Note: Hey, I love you. 

Shinsou: 

At first, he’s kinda quiet and straight to the point as he is with most other students but then he notices the little smile you give him when he tells you about his day or when he casually jokes (he can’t help but think how you’re not afraid of him?).

 He realizes that he needs to hear you laugh again, he has to see that smile and thus he slowly comes out of his shell.

He tries to tell himself he doesn’t like you like that. You’re a friend, that’s it but he can’t help this beating feeling in his chest after he talks with you.

The addictive feeling of being with you. 

So maybe he is in love with you, what about it?

Shinsou so desperately tries to play off his emotions as calm, cool and collected but inside he is DYING.

He has those moments once he gets to his room where he goes over every interaction that you two had and he tries to memorize it. 

He thinks about it for hours on end. A much as he tries to deny it, he’s a little love bug. 

Part of him realizing that he loves you is teasing! Sure he did it a little before but now? Ohohohoho

He mostly likes teasing you because he loves getting a rise out of you.  

How you pout when he’s teasing you? He can’t help blushing up a storm.

His favorite is when he says something that makes you blush and he gets to see how flustered you are. 

Those are the ones that really affect him. The ones that leave him up all night thinking about that wide-eyed look you gave him as you stuttered over your words.

He says something that makes you laugh? He has that joke cataloged in his brain and is going to think about your laugh for the rest of his days.

Even with all these feelings, he doesn’t think he’s enough. It’s the main reason why he doesn’t confess.

Somedays he’ll go over every single flaw thinking why you would never want him. 

From how villainous his quirk is to how “weak” he is. 

It’s only once his friends hype him up into telling you that he does (but don’t be mistakened, this takes WEEKS). 

It’s really a spur of the moment thing. His emotions are running wild and he just wants to know! He pulls you aside during lunch, into the courtyard and sits you down on a bench.

“Okay, I know this is weird but please. Just-! Just let me say this, please.” 

He paces back and forth, brushing a hand through his hair. 

“I…I can’t help but wanna make you smile…Did you know that? Every time you smile I just feel so happy inside. I’ve never felt this way before. I’ve never thought about someone this much, I’ve never wanted to make someone happy like I wanna make you happy. I think…I think- no, I know I love you. You mean so much to me and I know I’m not enough. I know my quirk is terrible but I want to make you happy. I want to spend my days with you.” He starts to choke up, sitting on the bench next to you. “I just-” 

He can’t help but ramble, going over every possible thing to convince you that he’ll treat you right, that he’ll love you right, he’ll spend time with you, care for you and anything else you want. 

He honestly won’t stop until you stop him. He’s just so scared. He thought if he kept talking, if he kept naming reasons maybe you’ll see. (also may be because how he always tries to refrain from talking so often to not scare people but because he’s so scared he lost that restraint he usually has). 

When you say yes he’ll probably shed a tear or two, not that he’d let you see and wrap you in the tightest hug (which is shocking to both him and you). 

He pulls away quickly and you both realize that lunch is going to end soon if y’all don’t get back. 

Please wrap your hand in his and give him a little kiss. He won’t be able to stop smiling once he gets back. I mean he is honestly going to be beaming with happiness. 

You make him so happy, and to get the chance to make you feel the same? He can’t help but smile.

Kirishima:

When Kirishima first sees you he instantly wants to be friends! 

You just look so cool and manly and honestly how could he not want to be friends with you. 

Is it also because he thinks you’re really cute and wants to get closer to you? Maybe but thats not the point. 

He is as ecstatic and happy as always around you. 

This means a lot of casual touches and jokes. 

Do the touches last maybe a second longer than usual? Yes, but it’s not like your noticing. 

He studies with you a LOT. But you better be careful with him because half the time he’s watching you rather than his own notebook. 

He honestly won’t notice he’s in love with you until Bakugou or someone says something.

I mean, it’s normal to want to be around someone 24/7 and want to always be touching them and supporting them and oh no he understands what Bakugou is saying.

Once he realizes he is REALLY awkward around you. Usually, he just tries to play it off but he can’t! Not with how you look at him with such a big smile or how you always expect a hug from him when you leave because that’s what he always does.

Now that he realizes he loves you he wants to do more than just joke and laugh with you! He wants to kiss you and be with you!

He honestly needs help planning out a date or else he’s going to bring you out to Arby’s with a pair of crocs and his favorite shirt and pants that do not match at ALL.

He doesn’t really tell you its a date because in his rush to try and get you to go out with him he just kinda,,, forgot? Though it’s okay because Mina totally spilled the beans to you anyway.

Please help this boy.

The night you two spend together though is amazing! 

You both go out to this amazing restaurant where Kirishima spills barbecue sauce on his fancy shirt while yelling about how amazing this meat is. 

The small park that you both go out to is beautiful! And yet somehow Kirishima ends up pulling you into playing frisbee with these kids.

While you can totally see where Bakugou and the others came in, it’s all still so overwhelmingly him. How he jokes and laughs his way through the date, how he treats you like the most precious thing. 

He stops you at the front of your dorm room and suddenly he isn’t acting like himself. 

He is fidgeting with his fingers and he is looking up at you with the most vulnerable look in his eyes. 

“We’ve been friends for a long time, huh? Since the start of this school year. You…you’ve been with me through everything. Through the USJ incident, to Bakugou getting kidnapped…you’ve seen me when I’m my most unmanly and you’re still here with me. You’ve never left me or made me feel any less. And for that you mean the world to me. And…And uh-” He brings a hand to yours, you can see how it shakes. “I was wondering if you’d like to- to uhm, take our friendship a little step further? If you’d like to, of course.” 

If you look into his eyes, I mean really look you’ll see how utterly terrified he is. 

When you say yes he will whoop and scream and pull you into his arms and spin you about. 

There is no doubt everyone in the dorms can hear you. 

Before he can think about it he presses a quick kiss to your cheek and tell you goodnight, you do have school tomorrow after-all. And he skips down the hallway. 

As soon as he leaves you WILL get bombarded by every girl and they will DEMAND to know what happened

But don’t worry Kirishima is in his own room telling as many people that will listen.

Force Knows Best

Summary: after infinity war, life is in shambles, but to make things even more complicated, the first order decides to visit. kylo ren is in search.. for you.

4. Paths Diverge

(This chapter is a filler and I'm sorry that it's like short and not as good)

Tacit understandings led you and Kylo outside, worried eyes glancing over your body to make sure that you were unharmed. Kylo's hand grasped your bicep lightly, but you pulled away, walking into Steve's comforting arms. Swirling touches moved along the back of your ear. Why couldn't Kylo stop touching you for a few seconds.

"What's going on?" Steve asked, brushing his fingers under your chin.

"I have to go.."

Steve's face fell into despair and disbelief. You were as close to a kid as he had, and his intent was to protect you, but unfortunately Kylo's instincts to have you were stronger, tearing your family even further apart. Natasha placed her hand on your shoulder, giving Steve a hard, yet connecting look. Their minds linked as they shared the same thought. You had a plan and they needed to closely follow it, they respected your wishes.

"No!" Thor yelled, storming forward. Big man loved endlessly, too much sometimes, magical axe flew straight for Kylo's head, making a scream rip out of your throat. Before it collided with skin, a black gloved hand raised and stopped it mid air, it dropping to the ground. The troops raised their blasters, but he dismissed them. Under the mask, he grinned. You had screamed when the axe was sent his way, you feared that he would've died, showing that you cared. A small sliver of you felt what he did. Time would progress and so would the bond.

"Let's not do anything rash." Kylo's deep voice rumbled through the mask that he put back on before leaving the ship. A small thing, such as the mask, gave him jtter authority.

"Rash? You daring to invade Earth to take one of our own, thats rash. I'll show you rash." Thor's hand flexed and the axe's handle sat once again in his grasp.

"Thor, please." His brown and blue eyes met yours in confusion, "Remember yesterday how we talked about bringing everyone back? What if I can do that by leaving with him? He can help us. We owe it to them."

"You trust him?" Rhodey asked.

A swirling feeling touched at your hips again, his special reassurance that he wanted you to believe in him. Did you trust him? He killed his own man without hesitation, but his devotion to you seemed unparalleled. Trust had to be earned, and he certainly made you uneasy, but for now he seemed alright enough. If he was the key to bring Wanda and the rest back, you would roll the dice, take a chance. Dying under Kylo's watch seemed doubtful, that much you knew.

"I trust him enough.. I love you guys, and I'd do anything for this team. Do you trust me?" Natasha's eyes searched yours for a few seconds. Her sad eyes grew even sadder.

"With our lives, kid." Cap said, sagging his shoulders in defeat.

"Then its final.."

Collecting the few items you had and saying goodbye was the hardest thing you've had to do in a while. Leaving the people you love the most in the universe takes a toll. Rhodey was the first to hug you, explaining that if Tony got back they would search planets for you, Rocket gave you a sly fistbump, Okoye offered her spear, which you politely declined but instead gave her a firm handshake. Bruce and Thor gave you a group hug, your small body being engulfed by theirs, Thor was reluctant to let you go, but Natasha gave him a look. She gave you a long hug, trying to remember what it was like to have you close for the last time for who knows how long.

Steve was the hardest to say goodbye. Light once danced in blue orbs, soared in roaring Pacific waves, crashing along the coast. But now they were a dull, lifeless grey, like small bits of gravel resting on a well trodden road. Bucky was gone, and now you were being lifted out of his grasp by a ruthless space lord. Adoration, bundled in grooves of the heart swelled intolerably as he looked at the young woman who he saw as his own kid. Years of training, jokes, movie nights, advice, teasing, breakfast, tears, arguments, and laughs flashed before him within seconds. You were annoyingly noble, sacrificing yourself for the greater good of Earth, continuously putting others first before yourself. How could you not be that way, you learned it from him. Grudgingly, he realized you were doing exactly what he would if he was in the same position.

Strong arms wrapped tightly around your upper back, your arms tangling on his lower back, head resting comfortably against his chest. A dad's embrace. His body slightly shook from bottling up high amounts of emotion. Steve wanted to kick something, scream, yell, keep you here and kill Kylo, but none of that was reality. So he settled for taking a few moments to let it sink in that you could maybe reverse what Thanos did.

"Who is going to remind the team to watch their language?" You teased, slightly pulling away to look at the older man's expression.

He slightly chuckled, shrugging his shoulders, "Nat got that covered."

"Damn right I do" Her voice retorted.

"We need to leave" Kylo Ren's deep voice said, the swirling sweeping across your lower back. You were angry that touches from such a man had an effect on you. Unwillingly, two bodies parted and you gave the team one last look before walking towards Kylo's black ship. He was like an emo teenager, clothes and ship blacker than night itself. Kylo held his hand out for you to take, but you brushed past it before turning to face what was rest of the Avengers.

"I love you guys, may we meet again soon." A chorus of love you's echoed, cochlear systems picking up the sounds. Your heart clenched in emotional pain, as if you hadn't your fill for a life time already. Kylo grabbed your bicep lightly and led you inside, his men following silently. A conversation among the troops began, talk of a bet had been brought up. Kylo glared at them in warning and they quickly shut up. You didn't care enough to pursue what the bet was, you didn't want to know. The stormtroopers fluttered away, leaving you and Kylo Ren alone.

You two took a seat and strapped in while the ship began to take off. You had refused his aid in buckling up, you weren't a little kid. He seemed frustrated at your distance, so he moved his knees to rest against yours. Moving away would be pointless, he would only attract closer.. he was stubborn like that, something you already figured out. Not every man searched planets for a woman and then required her to leave with him. A molecule of you felt flattered that he was so loyal and driven for you, but the you who had common sense loathed it.

Questions began to rumble like an earthquake in your mind. Did he expect you to immediately melt into his presence? To bend against your will to be a woman who did what was told? He explained earlier that you were his equal, but his non-spoken threat against earth if you didn't leave showed that he wanted the upper hand, most likely from habit. Kylo Ren did what he wanted without a check or balance, but now you were a block to challenge him, but he had yet to figure that out.

"Are we going to share a room?" You asked, the thought now just occuring. Kylo's lip twitched under his mask before he moved to take it off. Reading your thoughts allowed him the knowledge that you did not appreciate the mask when it was just the two of you. Made you feel weary, for he got to hide while you were vulnerable.

"Where else would you sleep?" His natural voice retorted, sitting his helmet down on his black material covered thigh, a muscle toned thigh.. your eyes left his thigh and narrowed at his face.

"Clearly I had false hope that I would remain with any ounce of freedom." You grumbled, playing with your fingers out of anxiety. Kylo sighed, wishing to grab your fingers in his own, but you were upset and he was scared to make things worse. He wished you could feel how he die. Two souls brought together, and you hated him for it at the moment.

"Freedom isn't being stripped away from you, Y/N. I won't push any boundaries until I know you want me to." He nudged his knee against yours, using the force to graze your chin with the swirling touch that you experienced more times than you could count today.

You scoffed, "Good luck with me ever wanting to be near you, buddy."

That was a bold face lie, and you both knew it. Angry at him, yes. Wanting to hit him and demand an explanation about how you were even bonded, hell yes. But clouded by his pretty face and strong body, you did not press for information. He would explain in time, and for now you appreciated the silence that took over. For once he shut up and stopped touching you. Silence didn't last long once you left Earth's atmosphere, a foreign territory to you.

A large ship hovered above the smaller one you were in. White with seemingly multiple floors. It was a ship like you have never witnessed before. Even shield did not have such a craft able to be so big and in space, not that you were aware of. Doors opened from the bottom and the ship was pulled in. You jerked into Kylo's chest at the movement, but quickly yanked yourself away, glaring at him in defense, like a wild animal being caught.

"Supreme Leader, the Knights are waiting for you in the throne room." A storm trooper spoke, not daring to enter the room, but his voice carried from around the corner.

"I have other matters to attend to for a few hours, alert them to meet back at 8," Kylo's voice was scary, but then he turned back to you, "come bug, let us tour your new home."

Home.. what a funny word to call a ship full of killers.

[cruddyborderlandstheories]

im gonna just keep punching thru my WIPs so here’s some ~ign gun stuff~. i know everyone wants to talk about the new trailer and calypso stuff, i mean i do at least, but `checks list` i still have a lot of old stuff to get thru 😵

god i’ve been working on this for *three days* (yes! im not dead!)

tl;dr: i mostly just wanted to talk about how the CoV is using slag to power their guns to give them infinite magazines and ended up getting more proof for my ‘the calypsos are using eridium/slag to quickly mutate their followers and give them special powers’ theory. Also some interesting stuff about troy’s sword and his tattoos and his lil necklace things at the very bottom, if you’re interested. mostly ties it all into the new Eridian glowing stuff we’ve been seeing. they’ve moved on from purple -> red. which brings up some interesting questions...

So first I’m going over the individual IGN weapon videos, which you can find on their site here and on youtube here through HayderHype (doing god’s work). i recommend checking out this version because the ign player is not spectacular.

now to be honest im here to talk about three things from this particular vid: the areas we see in the gameplay, the new funky alien parts, and the CoV guns. the manufacturer perks are cool and all, but we already know most of that stuff. so I won’t be showcasing every gun from the video, but instead the more interesting/important bits I’ve noticed as I watched it

cool? cool!

the first area we get is definitely space rocks, im imagining this is similar to the area we see Zane in on that one promo sheet, 

(this one)

and, more importantly, the area where we will find that bigass space laser gun thing. i do believe that giant-ass gun is somewhere within Promethea’s asteroid belt.

(this one)

i am curious why the planet below doesn’t appear to have any asteroids surrounding it. maybe the giant space laser destroyed them. which i do discuss in this post here, if you’re interested in a very long read.

it could be that we’re simply on the side of the asteroids. which then makes me wonder, why are they all clustered there? it’s probably because the fuckin moon was destroyed. maybe by the giant space laser. which is also discussed in the post above 👀

it could also be elpis! the rocks are definitely gray enough lol and we don't exactly have a very good frame of reference for ‘asteroid’ vs ‘moon’. the giant space gun is out of shot, afterall.

ah. alien guns. 

i don’t think these are related to the bl1 eridian guns- not the kind we’ve seen that look similar to the Guardians in-game

that is:

this is all the same sort material as the Guardians, with their bug bits and armor and shit and these new alien barrels are all organic and squishy. (oh also take note of that purple thing on the eridian lightning, im going to bring it back later)

these new ones are definitely fuckin creepy looking, but not very bug-like at all. if they are related to eridians, it’s not through the Guardians. (as for the ACTUAL Vault Guardians/Monsters, yeah, it’s possible. i’ll get to that in a secco)

for the tentacle stuff, i know the Destroyer (not a Vault Guardian- it was imprisoned) is all ‘tentacles and disappointment’, but tbh i don’t see the asphalt lookin chunks being part of the Destroyer. and i especially don’t see manufacturers themselves harvesting the Destroyer for gun parts (Hyperion aside lol)

i could see them tying it in with the Rampagers (both fleshy with the black armor bits) but also... they’re not very tentacle-y. and how would manufacturers be getting the rampager stuff anyway? i suppose if that really is a teleportation network, then they would be on all the planets we visit. making them more available for farming. but still.

and yeah, the rocks probably have some sort of relation to Eridians, i mean we’ve seen rocks like these at Eridian dig sites and we know of a Vault Monster made out of similar-looking rocks

plus

this shloot gun, which i will get to later, appears to be made out of the same rock. 

so wtf are these tentacle things? made by eridians specifically for weaponry? a different version of the eridian guns we find on Pandora? did the manufacturers find a whole stash of these things and start making their own? instructions on how to build them? we know eridian writing is stashed across the universe, afterall.

maybe they are meant to be something different...

i honestly don’t know, and im getting off topic here, so let’s move on.

not a crashed ship. i haven’t seen ALL the eden-6 gameplay, but i’ve seen a few and they had only gone through the ship AI quest with ice-t and the very uncomfortably long jabber section. seriously, tf was that? 

also i still don’t trust wainwright. that fucker is totally gonna betray us for the key once we get him the pieces. also did you know one piece of the promethean key is on Athenas? wildin’. wait this game is just One Piece in space... fairy vearth i am coming for you... oh god, do i have a type? i think i have a type when it comes to media. ... hm.

oh, but the facility. i wouldn’t be surprised if it were Atlas. the red stripes also got me like ‘old Hyperion’, but again tf would Hyperion be doing on Eden-6? plus that one shot with Hammerlock in the new Eden-6 video makes me think it is, in fact, Atlas. 

(side note, i love when i search my blog for a post with the word ‘eden-6′ in it and i get literally everything EXCEPT the post where the hyperlink is literally eden-6. tumblr! you suck! your search function is terrible!  https://cruddyborderlandstheories.tumblr.com/post/186858618497/eden-6. but yeah this is where that hammerlock shot is, if you’re interested)

specifically this little thing here

reminds me of this labeling system that we see on Promethea, which marks different parts of the city (red and blue are the 2 i’ve seen so far)

which then begs the question: what was ATLAS doing on eden-6? back when i thought this planet was promethea, that was fine. but... it’s not. so wtf are they doing here? 

personally, i think they were researching whatever Typhon Deleon found here (or thought he would find here). We see he has historical markers across the planet, so i would not be surprised if he found something. 

to add to that, we know there’s eridian things on planet, because a. we see a eridian log in the moze gameplay. 

and b, which is new info from the recent community Q&A: those purple crystals we see contain eridian writing, and we use a “special tool” to dig them out

so glad we finally know wtf these are for lol

“There’s Eridian Writing, and you need a certain tool to get the Eridian writing and once you do, you find this across there (the planets i assume) and this Eridian Writing opens up certain things for players”. which has certainly gotten me INTERESTED AS FUCK

i know i mentioned in my post about these crystals that maybe these were parts of eridian artifacts and stuff that tannis would help us with and turn into gear. but honestly given how vague he is by saying ‘opens up certain... things’... i almost want to say skill upgrades. 

i’ve mentioned before (and actually it’s come back recently in an ask) that I really, really, REALLY want our VHs to get bonus skill trees due to Siren powers being unlocked (cause like if we do graduate to Vault Guardian then who is to say... we won’t?) and, like, sure, if they can’t break the ‘6 Sirens in the universe at a time’ rule, then mayhaps we will get some sweet Eridian upgrades through these writings to our already available skills. maybe new standalone action skills, since they’ve made it very clear you can equip any action skill you want. lorewise, it could be like how Fl4k’s skag becomes an Eridian Skag (cough LostLegionEternal cough)

or, maybe, they actually are schematics and Tannis will help us build them and we’ll get cool gear out of it. maybe vehicle upgrades or something. maybe even something pertaining to Guardian Rank (which I still think is us graduating from Vault Hunter to Vault Guardian and if thats the case then i really hope siren = vault guardian becau- okay i’ll stop sorry.). I don’t think it will be something that we MUST do for the plot, so it can’t be THAT important to the lore. Like i said in the old post, we probably will break one or two for the main story after getting the stabby brass knuckles, then we will be let loose to collect the others on our own free time. 

but yeah, the wording of “opens up” is doing me a big thonk because... well, he’s making it sound like an entirely new aspect of the game we have yet to hear about. of course he could just be using a very literal sense of the word in that we are literally opening up the crystals by smashing them open and freeing whatever is locked inside. especially because he says that specifically the Eridian writing, which we acquire with the tool, is what opens up those certain things. 

also guessing we get this glowly stabby tool from Athenas now, instead of from Atlas. I’ll explain in the Athenas post!! I promise. we have LOTS of stuff to discuss there, i’m very excited to work on it.

jesus i got off topic.

but yeah. i imagine Atlas would be researching whatever Eridian stuff Typhon Deleon found here. there’s clearly writing all over the place, with lots of eridian logs

it could also be that this is like Supamax MFG or some other production facility that was shut down and abandoned. doesn’t always have to tie back into the deep lore, as much as i want it to lol

but moving on. because good lord im not even like 2 minutes in on the first video and i have 2 more to go after this.

this area feels like the inside of the asteroid base.

there’s nothing but rocks floating outside! so i guess the theory about this being on the side of the asteroids was correct! huzzah!

poor promethea. they didn’t deserve it. also may just be some way to link up the promethea teleport system (because yeah im still standing by that theory) to the rest of the planets. or this is some way to activate a temple, or a Vault, or something Rhys wants exploded like Maliwan HQ... so many possibilities. Maybe it’s just that Maliwan was sky-bombing Atlas-held areas and he sends us up here to stop it.

so many possibilities. so little time.

moving on

looks like the place amara visits in her character trailer. given we’ve also seen the area Fl4k visits, im excited to see if we’ll also be visiting the areas from Moze and Zane’s trailers.

eyy more looks at that facility. definitely feeling like this is Atlas.

also, this appears to be similar to the window brick, mordecai, and tina stand in front of in that one shot. i know i already mention this in that VERY old post where i organized all the areas of the dev and reveal trailers, but still. good to see it’s standing up

also, if you’re wondering why i have yet to mention or show any of the athenas clips, it’s because im saving those for my next post. athenas all day babey (i am trying to use self-restraint, it’s very hard for me to not just blather on about stuff i want to talk about lol)

this appears to be the tink stripper area lol

thanks gearbox i hate it

why

big varkid!! with what looks like the HBC in the background. possibly some named badass enemy we kill for hammerlock? i can’t imagine this is big enough to be vermi.

the area with the ferris wheel!! i hope we can ride it. also that rollercoaster in the claptrap presents pandora video? omg i want to ride it sooooo badly

ah this is the jakobs family thing. part of the ship from the eden-6 demo

iirc this was where Moze is using Iron Bear during the We Are Mayhem trailer. I wonder if that’s Rhys’s office in the back or smth. very fancy

okay. finally.

the Children of the Vault Weapons. I’m actually going to showcase a few of these, because I think it’s important.

remember, the CoV weapons have infinite magazines (not infinite ammo)

so if you’ve noticed the similarities between these weapons: they all seem to be powered by eridium/slag. some have the purple piping (and with the fire/corrosive/shock elements, i have to wonder if this is similar to how slag mutated enemies will get elemental affinities) and shards of eridium sticking out of the detailing. 

given the piping will change colors depending on the element used, i definitely don’t think the glowing purple is just for aesthetic purposes and i 100% believe this plays into their infinite magazine size. i think this is somewhat similar to the Eridian weapons, in which they have infinite magazines and rechargeable ammo

(using the eridian thunder storm as reference here)

the CoV weapons don’t have rechargeable ammo, but they definitely have infinite magazines, which i imagine is a step in the right direction to recreating these eridian weapons with slag/eridium

so is this the reason that slag pool we see is ‘Holy Holy Holy’?

^ this is a glimpse at the structure below in-game spewing out eridium/slag, so we know what the full version looks like

and below is a version without slag/eridium:

i mean, it’s not like there hasn’t already been a precedent for worshipping guns and what provides them. just take a look at the bloodshot ramparts, the bloodshots worshipping Marcus as a god for providing guns to them.

i mean, even the eyeball symbolism is pretty familiar here.

and yes, this could 100% replace my other theory that the twins are mutating their cultists with eridium/slag. but tbh, i think it proves it even further.

remember this?

that piping looks really familiar, doesn’t it?

and we know goliaths in bl2 were mutated by slag/eridium/ruin exposure- it’s explained that a lot of the bandits teetering on the verge on non-human were mutated because of eridian ruins/tech (the key in sledge’s mine). so why would it be hard to believe that the twins are accelerating or activating this process using their own store of eridium/slag?

i won’t go full theory on this, because you’ve already heard me rave about it, but i think this is very nice evidence, so long as our previous assumption about the slag/eridium powering the CoV guns is true. which i believe it is

(From the Eden-6 teaser trailer)

(from the We Are Mayhem trailer)

very similar

so what the hell is in those vials?

looking at them, it’s clear the first matches up with the slag gun and the second with the fire gun. all well and good. maybe they’re bottling up that elemental goodness as sort of an ‘oh shit’ button, or just as a way to stand out in the cult, show off your allegiance to them by mimicking Troy’s vials (which i suppose i’ll have to touch on in another post, because iit will derail everything)

so i imagine this is provided by the cult- maybe because they are powering up their cultists using slag, in a very similar way to how they’re powering up their guns. forcibly mutating them and all that- speeding up the process that normally happens somewhat slowly on Pandora. afterall, isn’t that what the cultists are being promised? ‘special powers’.

but there is more

we know Tyreen’s power is to absorb the powers of people. Phaseleech or something. and when she does it to lilith in the new cutscene, lilith simply has her Siren powers taken away and is left in a near-death state. 

which is all well and good, but when Tyreen does it to her cultists... hell, even the Sun Smashers, something different happens:

we’re even allowed to watch the process take place

even before he’s fully dead, this psycho is turning to stone, which doesn’t happen to lilith. there’s a few reasons this could happen

1. Tyreen didn’t have intent to kill. she wanted to leave Lilith for the dogs- the Eridium-tier cultists

2. Lilith’s Siren powers are sort of like a shield- instead of immediately turning to stone under the effects of Tyreen’s powers, she instead loses her abilities

3. the bandits are different from Lilith, and that is because of her abilities as a Siren.

im going to go for the 3rd option.

we know bandits on Pandora are mutated by the slag/eridium/eridian ruins surrounding them. Krieg, an off-worlder, is taken into a hyperion testing facility and tested on with slag, which turns him into the badass psycho we know today. that gives him the exposure to slag/eridium/eridian ruins/tech. you get the deal. (im just going to call it eridium in reference to all eridian ruins/tech/slag/eridium.) and like Krieg, we see badass psychos roaming the wastes, even before Hyperion slag testing began to take place. this is because of their exposure to eridian ruins/technology across pandora- eridium hadn’t appeared until after the first Vault opened. 

so i dont think it hard to believe that these bandits are still being affected by exposure, to the point that eridium had begun to build up in their bodies, leading to these physical mutations and new elemental powers. this happens to the wildlife of Pandora, too. Badass elemental skags, fire spiderants, even bloodwing shows (a speedrun version of) this in the WEP. some muted bandits include badass psychos, goliaths, burning psychos, slagged psychos. etc, etc.

i think Lilith, being a Siren, is protected from the effects of ‘background radiation’ of eridium. she’s able to process eridium without any byproduct, and we can assume she’s converting it fully into energy/power (as Sirens are able to charge Vault Keys with it). we could argue that her Siren skill gain in borderlands 1 is explained by her being near eridian ruins for a majority of the game (slow buildup of background ‘radiation’), then in bl2 her skills skyrocket to an entirely new level (teleportation) because of her direct contact with pure eridium. and since she’s able to convert eridium into power, she doesn’t turn to stone when Tyreen absorbs her lifeforce- she has no buildup in her body.

unlike her, the bandits who spent a long enough time (7 years is long enough for the Sun Smashers, I would imagine. also probably long enough for Vaughn to start losing it- just a little bit) on Pandora to continuously absorb this eridium have a significant build-up in their bodies, so when Tyreen absorbs their life forces, the eridium already inside them is drawn out, or reacts with her powers, and turns them to stone/eridium crystals.

anyway.

moving on to more gun stuff

Borderlands 3: Every Gun Maker and Their Perks

like the last vid, im just going to be going over some interesting areas and guns if i see any.

>hold down the trigger to charge the gun and release a powerful pulse shot

did they fix Maliwan guns??? iirc from the demo you had to charge them to shoot at all! that’s wonderful!

also

looks like Zane might have an ECHO log somewhere in the Meridian Metroplex, if the VHs don’t have ECHOs in their inventory as starting gear (im curious if the ones on Sanc-III are supposed to replace that, or if they’ve only been put there for the demo...)

the reason im assuming this is an ECHO is because ur character’s icon will only appear if ur coop player is speaking and they’re far away from you (no coop partner in this clip), or if you’ve activated an ECHO log. there may be a as-of-yet unrevealed option, like maybe the twins playing back a recording, but we’ll see.

so, ahhh if ur in this general location, be on the lookout for anything glowing like a quest item

also also im surprised there are players who are using Zane and not playing with 2 action skills. that’s like... sort of his biggest thing.

ah well, that’s literally the only interesting thing outta this video, so moving on

5 of the Craziest and Awesome Guns in BL3

yeah this is the one gun i wanna talk about- i said i was going to be bringing it back later on and i wasn’t joking

so it should be pretty obvious by now this thing is Eridian. if the symbol on the top didn’t convince you, and the rocks didn’t either, then the diamond should, bc apparently that’s just, like, an Eridian thing now. apparently. no im not salty this shape just started appearing only in the 3rd game. that’s ridiculous.

... okay, only a little, i guess.

personally, i think this gun exists to explain why the Vaults and Vault Monsters drop loot that is... from our world/time period. Feed it Eridium, get guns out. how does it actually make gun? iunno. looks like it’s powered by fire, though. or whatever is in Troy’s sword/the cool knife knuckles

this stuff

orrrr

this stuff.

which... makes me think Troy doesn’t use his sword in the intro fight because he doesn’t have it yet. he might be waiting to get it back (upgrade?) or until he’s strong enough to hold it- or he just hasn’t found it yet. 

i mean, the boy can’t even pick himself up off the ground and suddenly I’m supposed to believe he can wield a sword that’s probably heavier than he is? he’s probably waiting to be full strength to use the damn thing.

and if he doesn’t have it yet, i would imagine they find it on Athenas or in one of the other temples while using the teleportation network (i will die for this theory until im proven wrong) and yoink that shit. i mean, who wouldn’t?

which also is making me wonder if the stuff around his neck is the new (old? before/after eridium?) Eridian energy/power. which i guess means we’re looping all the way back around to theory #1: wtf are those things around troy’s neck lol

it would be interesting if he’s gotta hold onto this for his powers or something. double interesting if Tyreen is making him use it because he’s useful, even though it’s killing him- if he’s useful somehow (like thru distributing the powers Tyreen holds, like i’ve been saying with my input/output twins theory for quite some time now) then Tyreen NEEDS him to do this for the cult.

i mean, his tattoos do glow the same color as the Eridian tech when they’re transferring what i assume is energy between the two of them

so it's not too hard to believe that his tattoos are somehow tied to this eridian tech mess. 

i almost wonder if this is like... a new version of Siren we haven’t seen yet. one not linked to Eridium like the other Sirens are. maybe created before/after the eridians had access to eridium (before they discovered it/locked it away in the Vault of the Destroyer), or an artificial one produced by the red-based eridian tech- and that’s why his tattoos are the same color as all the new eridian stuff we’ve been seeing.

but, eh. it’s whatever. this is a gun post, not a Calypso post. i’ll go in depth in a later post :^) (i am trying to stay on topic now. we’ll see how long this lasts lol)
