I heavily headcanon Shane as trans and in my writing (specifically the fic I'm working on) Marnie is super involved in the new name process and was the one to choose Shane in the first place!

this moment ripped my heart out and killed me instantly

[tempestmothstorm]

On this week’s episode of “Wtf Did They Mean By That” we have wtf did they mean by that

Ok idk if it’s just me but this line feels like it’s meant to address the whole Natsuki home life question but it answers it by just. Not????

Cause like this line could both be interpreted as a confirmation and decomfirmation of physical abuse in the side stories because Natsuki just loves being really vague like that with that last line

Cause the line could mean, “of course they wouldn’t hurt me physically, but I’m scared they might retaliate in some other way” and in like any other context it would be the normal assumption.

But knowing what goes on base game and how oddly specific it is to bring up physical harm in the first place for an otherwise normal situation it could also mean, “of course they wouldn’t hurt me physically, but the treatment from my father has made me subconsciously fear the same abuse from others” and I can’t tell if I’m going insane here like are you ok?????

At least Yuri promises to smite her enemies in the next line. Good for her 👍

uhm, honestly the idea of mark truly and hopelessly falling for peter as he's watching him fighting and rejecting his own damnation, finding in the desperate display in front of him someone that finally may be as miserably stubborn as himself— what does strahm have right then but him? his scream's muffled and distant-sounding behind the glass walls but there's no missing the blood spilled, mudding his vision until everything's tantalizing shades of red.......... he watches until he can't anymore, hoping peter had never looked at him the same way (wishing he did)

hi, how are your fic wips? ive been. thinking a lot about them lately lmao. if you dont wanna share any info thats fine feel free to delete this ask bdidndhx

HI ANON!! oH WAHH CRIES???? that means a lot, thank you for thinking of my stories omg?? :'] <33 im ALWAYS happy to share info about my fics, don't worry!! in this one, i'll talk about "Let's Make It (a) Home" and "Swept Up"!!

Preface, here's all my fic wips as explained before!! and all my writing can be found in my #inland drabbles tag! ask 1, ask 3!

Let's Make It (a) Home is a fic about the Hanged Man case, from the perspective of the skills learning to work together again and rebuild a home! current word count is 3042 :]

Swept Up in the Feeling is a character study fic from the perspective of Empathy hanging out with the other skills! current word count is 13116!! :D

RIGHT OFF THE BAT HERE'S A SNIPPET FROM MAKE IT HOME!

oN GOD IF I COULD JUST SHARE THIS ENTIRE SNIPPET?? i won't but IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY HJGKJG so like. skill check failures means that skill is unable to fulfill its duty. if this were, say, a hand/eye coordination check fail, he'd probably drop the sword or like. accidentally stab himself hkjgh BUT volition stands for self-restraint, serious business and acting responsibly, so WHEN HE FAILS THE SKILL CHECK…

god. i love volition. i love swords. it's just volition showing off to his heart's content, HE DESERVES TO BE HAPPY MAN HGKJG. writing the description following this was absolutely delightful, i love how poetic it turned out, THIS WHOLE SCENE IS SO DEAR TO ME..

this fic is probably my favorite out of all my fics, tbh? i love the skills man!! the dynamic of like... "i don't remember a lot of you or a lot of myself, and it's all so distantly familiar, but regardless we all have to work together right now." i think before this they were really dysfunctional, and that persists through the game, and in the fic. they bicker and argue and they don't always get along, but this is a fresh start for all of them and it helps them learn to cooperate better, learning to work as a team!!

the idea that they're also struggling through this, everything harry feels, but trying to keep it together, to work together for their core. in the end, they all want what they think is best for harry, y'know? im really excited to write for the dora dream, y'all know how the skills are in the dream, my GOD. SCREAMS. anyway thats hype hfjhg the whole concept of getting to see the game from the skills perspective, rebuilding, reforming bonds. its really sweet to me.

writing this fic requires replaying all of disco elysium, so i can write it from the skills perspective, which is a BIG ENDEAVOR hgkjg

NOW!! Swept Up in the Feeling, aka EMPATHY MY DARLING. my favorite guy i love him!! kisses his forehead lovingly!! i adoreee this volition chapter, it's a flashback chapter before a MAJOR EVENT happens in the fic and it's just there to showcase my volition and empathy childhood best friend propaganda, theeyyyyy make me so happy i'll cry hgkjg

it's just!! volition was the first skill empathy ever met and attached to!! and empathy was the first skill volition ever met alone, so he feels a sense of responsibility for him hkjg and they're playmates and they take naps and they grow up together and they care about each other.

oughhh i have MANY THOUGHTS ABOUT THEM, and so many art wips of them too hgkjg <33 i'll get to it!!! eventually!! hgkjg

otherwise, I LOVE SWEPT UP!! i love skills character studies!! i love these guys as characters in their own right, and not just narrators or extensions of harry's thoughts!! i love exploring them from empathy's point of view, because thats EMPATHY'S WHOLE THING?? HJLKGJ that he'll know how the other skill feels, how they think, and he'll try to understand and empathize!! he's like, the PERFECT character to do character studies from?? i LOVE YOU EMPATHY!!!

every chapter makes me endeared to each skill hgkjg the drama chapter is fuckin cookin man, thats INTERESTING STUFF HKJGG the phys chapter RAUGH. I LOVE YOU COACH YOU'RE REALLY FUNNY AND ALSO I FEEL EMOTIONS ABOUT YOU HKJG i love all of them really, if anyone wants details on a chapter in specific, hit up the ask box bro hgklj i don't have everyone down yet, but even if i don't i'll probably just use it to brainstorm hgkj <33

OKAY THAT'S ALL!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE ASK!!! i really love chatting about my fics, it just takes a lot to type it all out in words hkjgg i could ramble forever if anyone wanted to listen for that long hkjg ANYWAY THANK YOU CHEFS KISS

[teddybeartoji]

MICKEYYYY IM HERE TO ASK ABOUT YOUR WIPS!!!!! FIRST OF ALL . I HAVE TO KNOW ABOUT KNIGHT SUGU ….. is it the same knight sugu from ihtctaot???? or different sugu???? does he like violence or does he resent it ???? how does he feel abt servitude??? does he reject it or fall to his knees willingly? WAAAAHHHH I LOVE KNIGHTS IM SCREAMING IM SO EXCITED

and for WEREWOLVES…….ARE THEY …. gulps …. BOTH WEREWOLVES ….. what are the dynamics are they both like completely overtaken by it is one of them more in control i’m SWKKCKENC D SWEATING IM SK EXCITED

also I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOUR WIPS KISSING YOUUUU

HELLO QUINN HELLO MY SWEETHEARTT:3333333 I HOPE YOU'RE DOING SOOSO WELL I HOPE YOU'RE HAVING THE LOVELIEST DAY EVER!!!!!!!!!

NO DEPTH, JUST FILTH

EEEEHEHEHHEHE I'M SO HAPPY YOU ASKED ABT THIS ONE I AM SO MUCH FUCKING FUN WITH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! okok but so . it is a different world and it is a different suguru (though i can't lie there are similarities between them both anyway lmao). he does not resent violence nor is he afraid of it, this suguru is a pretty cold one. he's definitely meaner than the ihtctaot suguru.

the thing is that suguru drops to his knees willingly and the reader is the one who doesn't and that's what makes them clash so hard. neither of them like each other, reader dislikes suguru because they think he's just a dog, doing whatever the king says with his tail wagging and suguru dislikes the reader because they're disobedient. they only reason the reader is trying to become a knight is literally just that they'll have a job, that they'll have a roof over their head and so in suguru's eyes, they're not worth it. they're just faking it and they need to be punished for it.

but the reader takes the punishment and just pushes through, never wavering for even a moment and that on its own makes suguru seethe. because in a way, this is devotion too. you're so hell bent on not giving up just to spite him and to claim the stupid fucking title even though you don't care for it.

don't get me wrong though, this will not be angst. bloody lips and bruised knuckles, it's a twisted kind of love.

SWEETER THAN EVER, THE SMELL OF FEAR

THE WEREWOLVESS AWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is a sick one i can tell you that right now lmao i'm trying to make it uncomfortable i'm trying to make it suffocating. i am very into the prey/predator x fear play kind of thing so to ME this is still very hot ashdhgsahdhsaghdas

ANYWAY THEY ARE BOTH WEREWOLVES!!!!!! suguru is just kind of suguru like he is sick in the head anyway but satoru... it's so fucking exciting to be writing for rabid satoru oh my godddd he really reminds me of a hyena in this lmao they're just toying with the reader, scaring them and making them cry before playing a game with them:33333333333

OK SOO . i'm going my own way about them being werewolves here i'm taking more of a uhhh twilight kind of a way in the sense that they can turn into actual wolves whenever they want??? bc i thought it'd be fun to make a chase scene where you're literally . chased by two wolves like isn't that so fucking scary (i'm kicking my feet rn)

overall this is the perfect setup for smut but honestly... idk if i'm going to do that i just really wanna focus on the chase and the scary parts buuuuuut maybe one day.. i'll add the smut too bc i know that will be delicous nyehehhehehe

COME AND ASK ME ABOUT MY WIPS:333333

[abigail]

not to sound silly but it’s so crazy to me how much comfort miffy brings me .. i know she is just a little cartoon bunny rabbit but everything about her brings me peace.. i was at work earlier and felt awful and thinking about miffy just made me feel better like. insane. but yeah.. she is so healing honestly <3

[alchemistgoose]

anyway blooming panic is a really good game (i’m not the same anymore)

[theclaravoyant]

thinking about the inherently queer themes of constructed vs authentic self, of expectations and what we make of them - do we cast them off, hide behind them, parody them, challenge them, change them?

[eclipse-song]

Gotchard is my showa kamen rider series being made in 2024 with a meandering plot that focuses on smaller arcs and brought back 2 part episodes. I'm just having fun for the first time watching a series live

[mads198-9]

No one speak to me -

[thevalleyoftriumph]

Hi!! Been a little bit I know but I’m the anon who sent you the stupid long asks about your system chosen au. I’m back and utterly feral from the new episode

I’m just. I need know who you think was fronting during that attack on newgrounds. Was it all of them? Just one? Did they enjoy it? Did they start of their rampage delighted? Only to slowly realise the sticks react like them? Did they stop and observe for a moment and see that they’re scared like chosen was? In pain like chosen was? Fighting for their lives and loved ones and freedom like chosen was? Did they ever consider trying to help?

(It’s my own personal hc that this was chosens first time attacking other sticks. If I remember correctly from the flashback in showdown, newgrounds was the last place they went to.)

Did they look to dark? See him having the time of his life? Did they think about expressing their newfound distaste? Did they feel it was too risky? Did they feel they couldn’t jeopardise their one and only ally? The only person they’ve ever had in their corner? Did they decide to do it later? Only to never find the right time?

Do they remember any of the sticks from that day? Do they try to? Do they bury the memories? Do they not know what to do with the knowledge of that day?

If it was just one of them fronting, how does the next day go? Does dark start excitedly retelling the events and laughing like it’s a colossal joke, while whoever wasn’t there tries to still be interested in their lunch? Were they sad to not be there to join in the fun? Were they sad to not be there to talk dark down? Are they horrified about what happened? About what their ally and their co-hosts(?) did?

Does this play a part in Beast being slow to trust dark? Seeing how easily he delights in violence? In the pain of others? Like a certain creator it knows?

Sorry as you can tell I am. Extremely normal. I’ve missed your au sm

Also for a good bit of this I’m using chosens name to encompass the whole system so I apologise for any confusion

I also apologise incase you aren’t taking asks for this au anymore

Anyway, enough typing from me

Have a wonderful day!!

HI ANON I MISSED YOU SO MUCH IM SO GLAD YOU LIKE MY PRODUCT ☝ AND YOUVE COME BACK WITH YET ANOTHER WONDERFUL MILE LONG ASK RAAAGHHH hi.... im always taking asks for my au forever and ever [i think i have a handful still lying around that i just never got around to and in that case IM SO SORRY CHAT. IM SO SORRY . I LOVE EVERYONE WHOS INTERESTED IN MY HCS...

okayokay im gonna break down as much as possible under the cut. maybe ill hit all your questions maybe i wont, bc honestly your ask is just incredibly in depth on its own [/pos] and reads wonderfully as a scenario tbh

OKAY. SO. whoof. the attack on newgrounds. that's a WHOLE can of worms.

right. so, in my interp, Dark and Chosen attacked the internet the day they escaped. like, within 24 hours they wrecked all that havoc.

thus, it's safe to assume that, for at least the start of it, it was very solidly Beast who was in front. it'd just got done fighting for its life, and was now in a completely brand new environment with someone it barely knew - it wasn't gonna be able to leave just yet.

and honestly i think that, at least at first, the violence was a good outlet for Beast. it wasn't intentionally malicious, or trying to hurt anyone - it primarily just aimed to destroy objects and buildings. think of it like when you visit a rage room and just start tearing shit apart - you're not gonna like, attack the employees, but by god will you smash the tv in there. it's a bit of catharsis, and a way to release all the emotions it's got pent up from it's Entire Existance.

however comma. as things started to ebb out of them all - as they moved further and further from the PC, and as they began to become more and more involved - it was more... blurry. a mix, where they couldn't quite tell who they Were anymore. it was hard to even register what they were doing for most of it, nevermind trying to track down Who They Were.

i'd say that when the confusion started to set in - when the lack of identity and the fuzziness in their mind started impacting where they knew they were - they did start to look to Dark. he was familiar - maybe not entirely friendly, sure, but it wasn't like he was attacking them like he was the rest of the sticks everywhere, so surely he was safe, right?

it was almost instinct. they trailed after him, copied his movements, learned a few new tricks with their powers. their heart wasn't exactly in it as much, as something felt... wrong about hurting sticks that looked so similar to them, and yet so different. they weren't sure why, just that they didn't seem to like it. purposefully missing anything that wasn't a building or already downed rubble. Dark didn't seem to notice, either, which came as a bit of a surprise.

i do think that as it went on, they felt more and more off. they participated, but they were somehow even MORE distant. quite literally going through the motions - like autopilot.

they could hear begging. crying. just like themselves only a day ago.

were they doing that?

they didn't like it.

at one point they tried calling it quits with Dark, but whoever it was that was asking didn't seem to word it too well, and ended up mostly ignored in favor of moving on.

i think, anon, i agree with one of your interps; that newgrounds specifically was the first time they actively hurt another stick on purpose.

and they hated it.

i do think, the next day, Dark does notice them being a bit off. he doesn't know why, at this point, and assumes it's just a side effect of yesterday, and that maybe "Chosen" is just tired. he totally cracks jokes, recalling his favorite parts. while they just.. sit. and think. and maybe stare down at their cup, mind blank and face somehow blanker.

they don't remember that day all too well. not even being really solidly "you" will sorta do that to a person. but they recall brief snippits, the earliest parts, the feelings. some glimpses of fearful expressions, of seeing sticks pulling family and friends out of rubble and to safety. of the fleeing anims from newgrounds.

they remember most clearly the first person they killed. she looked so scared.

i think they all have similar overall opinions on the event - they didn't like it all that much, and regret not stopping Dark sooner - but they do have their own distinct opinions that vary in the details.

Chosen ; bottles it all up. hates himself for "letting" himself go along with the plan, while also simultaniously being guiltily relieved that it wasn't him that died, and that he escaped.

Killer ; probably the most torn up over it. feels horrible for putting others through scenarios so similar to what they'd been through, and shuts down at the mere mention of the events. usually doesn't stick around when it's brought up.

Beast ; the most neutral. doesn't have too strong of an opinion other than it didn't like directly hurting others who hadn't struck it first. DID greatly enjoy getting out frustration by breaking buildings and throwing things and setting shit on fire tho. it would probably do That part again if it could. minus all the. other stuff.

and honestly... that last paragraph is Exactly why Beast is hesitant about Dark. sure, it's glad for the opportunity to escape. it's glad for the stress relief, and still has the habit of picking apart objects to get rid of that itch to break things. but it really isn't a fan of how quick Dark was to do more than break things. how quick Dark was to kill.

how quick they all were to give up and kill, too.

Killer and Chosen may have blocked it all out, but Beast? out of all of them, it remembers things the most. the clearest.

and it'll never forget it.

anyhow ^_^ im Also so normal about this.

and dw abt confusion or anything! i usually also use Chosen's name as a catchall sometimes simply because i just. never really thought about giving them all a system name lol. i mean i'm not the best at deciding system names i literally named My Own System "The Circus" based off a stupid joke our boyfriend made when we learned we were one. and also i feel just in the context of the source Chosen probably wouldn't really care enough to make a name [Killer might but i don't think they'd be happy on any ones they think of, and Beast just doesn't gaf either way and probably would prefer the lack of name just for covertness]
