Quotes + Mean Girls

associating angsty quotes (and some fluffy ones) to mean girls characters and dynamics, this is definitely longer than it should be and will probably be part 1 of many but anyways. lmk which were your favorites and which ones ruined you :) also shoutout to the cautionary tale discord who saw some of these already and ramble about these characters with me <3

"what a terrible thing to wound someone you really care for - and to do it so unconsciously."

Haruki Murakami

"and when nobody wakes you up in the morning, and when nobody waits for you at night, and when you can do whatever you want. what do you call it, freedom or loneliness?"

Charles Bukowski

"i am changing. i am trying to be better. it is slow; it is rough; it is repetitive, but i swear i am."

Abdulsamad S. M.

"i did not like to be touched, but it was a strange dislike. i did not like to be touched because i craved it too much. i wanted to be held very tight so i would not break."

Marya Hornbacher

"i was not a loveable child, and i'd grown into a deeply unlovable adult. draw a picture of my soul, and it'd be a scribble with fangs."

Jessica Katoff

"i wasn't beautiful anymore. now i looked like what i was, a raw wound."

unknown

Rebecca Stead

"you're a mess of good intentions gone wrong. you strike a match on yourself to keep others warm, and now the whole goddamn world's on fire. you try to put it out, and you try so hard. the dam breaks, and the waters of your sorrow pour free. you are sorry; so very, very sorrow - and you will drown everyone to prove it."

unknown

Janis

"there are times when i am convinced i am unfit for any human relationship."

Kate Chopin

"there were two reasons i was scared to let people in; the damage they could do, and the damage they could find."

Fun thoughts I am having while hiding in my room away from the friends my mom has over (I love her but I can only hear 'My name is Mary like the virgin but I'm not' so many times).

Re!Robbie vs Canon Robbie when it comes to sound design and how it's frightening in different directions.

Canon Robbie is LOUD when he's the Rider. They're always screaming or growling or howling in what I can only imagine is some god awful hybrid of human distress and engine noises. Which is scary as SHIT. It lends itself very well to the sort of fast paced chases that happen, and using sound to distract or overwhelm prey makes a LOT of sense for them. It's hard to think when your running away from something that won't stop screaming at you. Plus there's the fact that stealth doesent make a lot of sense for them. They're on FIRE so who CARES if they're loud yk? Overall 10/10 very scary I love this angy boi he's doing GREAT.

RE!Robbie in his altered state is the OPPOSITE. He barely talks at all unless he's trying to call out for Gabe or Lisa. He might let out a grunt or small noise if he's hurt. But for the most part, he's just. Quiet. That consistent wheezing death rattle of someone whose about to die but it never happens. Not talking, not yelling, just watching and waiting for a moment to attack. Very spoopy in my opinion I love them both <3

[faksyan]

Do you think the reason Liquid found it easy to play Kaz was because he too is an unwanted child with nowhere to belong that has been angry at the world since the day he was born. Do you think in the brief moment they met Kaz looked at him and realized that he saw himself.

some dumb stuff with Volgin

[casualtydept]

my two favourite video game characters who have absolutely nothing in common

[firstaidspray]

Paz Lives AU

Ocelot shows Marlin Paz's self-inflicted wound. Marlin is now more desperate to help Paz recover than ever.

[clavtheft]

Been playing peace walker again :)

[zaddyazula]

fucked up on the second rex phase and you have to do the whole fucking fight again???

[is-the-mgs-ocelot-cute]

rating: not cute

ocelots should NOT be on tumblr under any circumstance. it puts them at risk for exposure to toxic substances like online discourse and homestuck, which can alter their brain structure permanently.

Tag Game: OC interaction

I'm finally catching up on tag games! Thanks both @tildeathiwillwrite and @illarian-rambling for the tags! I'll do both here if that's okay!

Rules: Provide a short description of your oc, then using the description given by the person who tagged you, describe how you think the two of them would interact.

@tildeathiwillwrite's oc: Hector Epsilona is Caenum's resident Watcher (which is a detective/bodyguard/mercenary-type job). He knows the law (and its loopholes) very well, and uses both extensively, and enjoys a small amount of freedom to operate outside the law if he sees fit. He is extremely protective of and attached to those he cares about, especially his apprentice, Luc. He is generally polite, if a bit stern, and is always looking for a way to turn something into a lesson. I used the Wheel again (it's a brilliant idea!) and got Sophie from my MG werewolf WIP

My OC: Sophie Beatrice Larsen is a 12 years old and is a sixth grader at Forest Hills Elementary. She's 100% in her "weird 12 year old" phase and embracing and loving every second of that. She firmly believes mythological creatures are real and will go to the ends of the earth to prove they actually exist. She's delightfully weird, incredibly passionate, and super curious. She's naturally good at tracking and investigating and looking for clues and asking questions. She's also got a large amount of sass for such a tiny human and won't just standby in the face of injustice. How I think they'd interact: Sophie would probably idolize Hector, tbh. I mean, he's a detective??? She's absolutely taking notes and copying every single thing he does so she can be a better detective too. Whether or not Hector is chill about this, I have no clue XD ---

@illarian-rambling's oc: OC: Elsind is a 20 year old changeling whose true form looks like a mannequin wrapped in raw meat with five fins ringing its face, and who can transition between a solid and liquid state. They change their disguise frequently (they can only do people, not animals) and use the pronouns of whatever face they’re wearing. As a person, Elsind is anxious, easily flustered, cries a lot, and is overall very kind-hearted, despite working as an assassin for a rebel cell. She ended up in that line of work because she wants revenge for what the nobility of her home put her through - kidnapping her at thirteen to serve as a court freak. He thinks if he can assassinate his target, he can earn his courage back and be more than another discarded toy of the ruling class, even if the idea of killing someone makes him sick. Indeed, classism is where Elsind gets very passionate, as well as talking about romance novels. They long for love, even if they think no one would accept a changeling without a disguise. I would also say she’s chronically unlucky. If anyone is going to slip in the mud in his nice new dress, it’s Elsind. All I have written down on their character notes is “eager to please, easily overwhelmed, great combo of traits,” which is pretty much Elsind’s deal. The Wheel has chosen Lizzie--also from my MG werewolf WIP. I suppose it's appropriate that the best friends get chosen together (though for what it's worth, Sophie would be FASCINATED by Elsind and would beg for them to change their face and show her what his true form is and would 100% love her true form) My OC: Elizabeth Page (Lizzie) is also a 12 year old 6th grader at Forest Hills Elementary. She has pretty debilitating POTS symptoms and is often dizzy, fatigued, and in pain. She's incredibly loyal, loving, and kind. She really sees the best in people. She's also a werewolf. Because werewolves are so often depicted as monsters and were nearly hunted to extinction in the 1500s, it's against werewolf law to let nonwerewolves know to keep them safe. Lizzie adores Sophie and wants to help with the investigations but she's not allowed to tell and she spends the first chunk of the book terrified that Sophie won't accept her if she finds out the truth. How I think they'd interact: Listen. A huge proportion of my characters are shapeshifters in someway, so it's no surprise I got a shapeshifter when I pulled a character at random. But I think the fact the wheel pulled Lizzie to meet Elsind is a really good match. Lizzie's also incredibly anxious, kindhearted, and ALSO ready to seek revenge. A big plot point is that Sophie and Lizzie find a new kid who was just recently turned into a werewolf (Lizzie was born into a werewolf family), and Lizzie's ready to square up with whoever it was that attacked a 12 year old boy. So I think Lizzie and Elsind would probably definitely get along.

I'm nervous to tag people because I'm going to try to get through the rest of the tag games and I only have like 3 or 4 people I know are okay with tags and I don't really want to spam tag anyone, so... open tag?? (if you want to be tagged, please let me know!)

[wolvesrain]

i feel kinda bad for not being that big on otasune because they genuinely just like each other and are nice and a family and maybe the most normal mgs couple but they’re more like my middle aged neighbours then a ship to me. i feel like i see them at the grocery store sometimes and i’m happy for them but i’m not gonna read fanfiction about them

[faksyan]

Damn where's that one poll about seeing someone vagueposting about you that was going around a few days ago I voted no but just saw a post that was like why don't people in the mgs fandom know Jack is a short form of the name John, and I talked about it under another post with someone only a few hours before that. Like you can just @ me and tell me I'm dumb for not being American and looking into nickname hystory of the English language it's okay I promise 😭

[armed-saphire]

Ocelot Eva and Raikov are a certified group of three to me sorry. they're a package deal
