If you know for a fact that I usually read and re-blog and comment on your work, please tag me in your stuff so that I am sure to see it. Hell, I don’t care if I have never seen your work before, just tag me. I won’t be offended. I am so behind that I have lost track and I feel horrible about it. I want to support other writers just as much as they support me. I love you all. 🩵

HISOKA IS SO GODAMN USELESS IN THIS DOGEBALL GAME 😭💀💀😭💀

like the only 'sport' this man is interested in is fighting/killing people and other than this he's about makeup and hair and fashion and manicures

[ajthemagpie]

If I had a nickel for every time I obsessed over a character called Viktor/Victor who worked tirelessly (and to the detriment of his own health (probably)) in an attempt to further his scientific knowledge and maybe-hopefully-sorta make the world a better place, created (or helped to create) a device that sparks off bits of blue-looking energy shit and can --- if utilised correctly --- do funky time-related shit, and eventually sacrificed himself (sometimes idk man it depends) in a weird multiverse-mixing rainbow-looking implosion while attempting to fix some timeline bullshit (that he himself sort of possibly contributed to/caused), then I'd have two nickels.

Which is not a lot, but it's weird that it's happened twice.

X7 Narrative Overview Transcripts and Notes: Acts I-III

Hi there. Nothing revolutionary contained in this one, I was just bored so I decided to start writing everything I could see on the other slides I didn't end up doing when this stuff first came out.

This doesn't include the first slides of each Act, which are summaries of everything that happens in them. What's contained in *here* is just production notes and whatnot. Here's some links if you'd like to read something shorter that actually tells you what you're looking at.

Acts 1-3 Summaries Acts 4-5 Summaries

I need to stress by the way, I'm trying to not squint as much at these since it really hurt my eyes last time lol, so this probably won't have as much hard-to-see stuff as the other ones did. Also, length warning, there's more content in these so the post is way longer.

Including screenshots in case anyone else sees things better. Alrighty, have at it

act 1 da murda

They want me to die so this one's a nothingburger and the stuff that could have been a somethingburger just straight up never becomes visibleburger

Location

The timestamp seems to read "Season: Autumn (<5 min. post-Dream)"

This section of the game takes place at the Capeside Apartments, but rather than simply reusing the location from Disco Elysium, it appears they were remodeling and retexturing the maps. There are four images here: "Interior (Old)", "Interior (WIP)", "Exterior Dock (Old)", and "Exterior Dock (WIP)". Probably just so these parts can be visible from a different angle than the game.

This bit is never zoomed in enough for the other text to even become blurry pixels, sadly.

Characters

Five characters appear in this segment of the game: Beast de Ruyter, Cuno's father as seen through his eyes (crucial); Cuno and Cunoesse (crucial); Call Me Mañana (on the cusp between "necessary" and "supporting"); and The Swarm, Cuno's box of locusts (necessary).

The video never zooms in close enough to see the other text clearly, but some of the concept art on these slides appears at full size later on in the video.

Plot Details

They don't even want to give me a chance. The text never even becomes a visible blur, it just stays as lines. There is this odd little "FELD" thing in the top right corner though, I guess?

Tasks

Critical tasks:

First, survive

Return to Cuno's Apartment - [...] Completed when both Cuno & Cunoesse have [...]

Find what's left of Cuno's people [A/N: probably The Swarm]

Subtask: Find something to carry the survivors [A/N: probably the box he carries The Swarm in for the rest of the game] - Complete when Cuno [...] the remaining locusts in the box. [...]

Leave Martinaise forever

Reactivity/Outcomes: Three sticky notes. Too blurry to read.

Items

Definitely: [Interactable item sticky with no text], [Family?] photograph (Interactable)

This section contains a screenshot of a mock-up of the in-game clothing system, with the items that both children are already wearing highlighted. I assume it to be such: For Cunoesse, hat, shirt(?), pants. For Cuno, shirt(?), pants, shoes. There's two sections that have nothing in them, one between Hat and Shirt and one between Pants and Shoes, but I'm not sure what they would be.

There is other text, but it never zooms in enough for it to be visible.

Maybe: [Two interactables, too blurry to read]

To Be Decided: x2 Healing Item (Consumable); x2 Hype Item (Consumable)

Section also contains one other consumable, two clothing items, and one interactible. One of the clothing items has a screenshot which looks to me like some kind of beanie and scarf set? Not sure. Can't read anything else.

Thoughts

Cunoesse has one Thought, and Cuno has two, but I can't read them. I'm not a magician. Sorry guys...

Act II: The Escape

everyone say Thank You Dora for Zooming Riiiiiiight In on This One

Location

Top text:

"On the splash screen at the opening of each Act (Location), the Player should immediately be given the ability to place themselves in time and space to understand how much time has passed since the last Act and how much distance remains to their destination. Each Act (Location) should be introduced alongside the distance to Hämärä Maa (in kilometres.) Therefore, the distance to Hämärä Maa will serve as a reference point for the gameworld and as a tension-building countdown towards the game's climax."

"1,347 km to Hämärä Maa (Tweak the numbers)"

[A/N: Hämärä Maa is likely named after a Finnish song by the same name written by Matti Esko. You can view translated lyrics in the reply section of my Acts 1/2/3 Summaries Transcript post.]

Note on Geography:

"Consulting the huge wall map of Le Petit Continent on the Jamrock Central station wall the kids learn there's a 14:44 train to June Cite, -- Revachol Express' Azure Sans-Détour -- that completes the 1300 km journey south in three days. Before reaching June Cite -- the third largest city on La Petite Continent -- the train drives past Rhône Tréville (formally Royal) Penal Colony. That's right across the bay -- few kilometers -- from Cunoesse's ancestral home -- Hämärä Maa archipelago -- marked as Breach Atol on the station map. If the kids could only find a way to stop the train there, they'd be almost home."

[A/N: chat, is it Le Petit Continent or La Petite Continent, why is it spelt both ways]

Jamrock Central

"Refer to Jamrock Central Map (hyperlinked) for more references." [A/N i would give anything to have this]

Sticky notes: [unreadable] Groningen station Green marble Peacock, cockatoo [unreadable]

[A/N: Groningen Station is the main railway station in Groningen, in the Province of Groningen, in the Netherlands. It's quite lavish. Many of the reference images on the left side of this slide are actually of this train station.]

Middle block of text:

"Jamrock Central is one of the three major transportation hubs in Revachol. The other two being railway hub in Ville de Charbon and the aerodrome on La Délta.

Jamrock station was erected about 150 years ago by the edict of King Philippe III the Squanderer. It was the height of opulance for the Philippian kings and and[sic] not a cent was spared building the station. The ceilings are high, the windows are huge, the floors are all marble and there are columns everywhere. It's the lavishness of the catholic church + of Sheiks of Dubai but with the taste and sensibilities of Louis XIV the Sun King. Or "was", because after the communards dethroned the Suzerains in the Antecentennial Revolution (Turn-of-the-century Revolution) and the Great Spending came to an end no one wanted to carry the insane upkeep costs. Nowadays the marble is cracked, the colors faded and no one is even thinking about renovation. The station is still very busy and multiple trains both regional and continental arrive and depart every hour.

Near the entrance is a fish pond turned wishing well. Beastmaster Raccoono can talk to the fish, Cunoesse can talk to the water and every 30 minutes the pond produced 0.50 cents from people wishing for stuff.

The station should be populated by lots of npc's barking as crowd in a way the Scabs bark in DE. Ideally there's lots of motion and commotion. The busier we can make the place look the better.

Notable areas might be: - The Fish Pond - Source of income, Cuno beastmaster reactivity, Cunoesse surface tension reactivity, foreshadowing the blind cave fish of Hämärä Maa) - The Ticket Offices - Might be just a dinow in the wall. Ask information, buy tickets, pull a schenanigan) - The Little Gentleman's Room (Piss Lounge for Noblemen? Salle de pisse pour Nobles?) - Rob Herculé, set fire to create a distraction to sneak aboard the train. - The Platform (maybe two sets of track visible?) - The one further back would be purely cosmetic -- inaccessible for PC -- and could show cool trains flashing by"

[A/N: Louis XIV, King of France in the 1600's, commissioned the Palace of Versailles and had a huge influence on French Baroque fine art and architecture. Also was notable for a bunch of other things, but that's what's relevant here.]

Middle image references: Estimated size of this map is compared to the whole road area of the Martinaise map, from the scab area down to where the lorries end near the open water lock. There are also some more reference images in black and white, as well as some more images labelled "Early platform concepts".

Right side: Title text "Arrive at dawn, leave at mid-day" A box titled "Visual references: Train, Exterior". Contains many older style train carriages and artworks. There's a draft logo with small top text "REVACHOL EXPRESS", large text below "AZURE SANS-DÉTOUR". There's two sticky notes, one reads "MARX!!!! HELP PLEASE!!!!!!". Middle text: "The Train from the next Act needs to be visible on the platform (exterior only.) Rough level map below; needs to go through several iterations with level & environment design." The rough level map is divided into the Pavillion and the Platform.

This box connects to a box immediately below it in the Act III Characters section.

Plot Details

There is a note on this slide that reads: "Information might be outdated, See the latest Progression Path in the Act II Miro board:"

Location Objective: "Get on the 14:44 train to June Cite. If possible, secure two train tickets. If not, get creative. You arrive at the Station at 07:30. Your time at the Station is limited."

Ways to board the train: "Ideal: You have two tickets. Show your tickets to the conductor and board. Sub-optimal: You have one ticket. Obtain a pet carrier from a Station NPC. Smuggle one of you in it. Inadvisable: You have no tickets. Create a diversion and board in the chaos. (?) Disastrous: Train is departing. Last calls, dramatic encounter where you [...] RC's to mitigate losses. [...] on the train, but you likely lose inventory, health... [has been cut]

The amount of tickets you are holding will have reactivity in the next chapter, as Trip the Train conductor will be able to casually blackmail you."

Ways to obtain tickets: "1. ONE can be stolen from the Ticket Office, if you manipulate the Young Kid to help. 2. ONE can be taken by force from the Young Kid, if the previous has happened. 3. ONE can be bought with fish pond money, but it takes a whole day of fishing for coins.

The dog carrier can be stolen from the Dog-Walker if you can trick the dog to get out.

The diversion involves setting fire to the men's room...?"

Plot:

Cuno and Cunoesse arrive in Jamrock Station at 07:30.

At a first glance it seems cops have beat them to it. Several groups of RCM patrolmen are moving around the crowd. You don't know this yet, but the cops aren't there looking for you, they're looking for someone else.

This "Criminal at Jamrock Station" side-plot will unfold in parallel to Cuno & Cunoesse's story, as their fugitive paths cross during Act 3 and possibly 4.

First they need to know how to get to where they are going. Consulting the huge wall-map of the entire Le Petit Continent the kids learn there's a 14:44 train to June Cite, -- Revachol Express' Azure Sans-Détour -- that completes the 1300km journey south in three days.

Before reaching June Cite -- the third largest city on La Petit Continent -- the train drives past Rhône Tréville (formally Royal) Penal Colony. That's right across the bay from Cunoesse's ancestral home -- Hämärä Maa archipelago. If they could find a way to stop the train they'd be almost home.

Originally, Cunoesse made her way to Revachol as a stowaway on a train along the same line, so she is trying to retrace her steps back home. (Being illiterate, she barely understands maps, and needs Cuno to connect the dots between her recollections and geographical locations.)

The task now is to find a way aboard the train. There's a number of ways to do it. Should they be able to acquire the means they can straightforwardly buy the tickets aboard AZURE SANS-DÉTOUR. Alternatives include, sneaking aboard, stealing a ticket from a young(er) boy or perhaps outright forging it.

The main goal in the Station should be getting aboard that train and one of the more obvious ways to accomplish that is to just buy two tickets. Tickets cost money. There are three ways to get money in the train station.

Fish coins out from the Fish Pond (0.50p/30min)

Beg for money. -- After talking to the character "beggar king" about begging and it's finer nuances and option to tell your own little sob story (Series of RC's on different character in station) to people owns up. Tell it convincingly and they'll give you their change.

Steal a number of items from NPC's in train station and sell them to Beggarking.

Criminal from Jamrock Station notices that and has reactivity to the fact in ACT III.

Once you've found a way to get past Trip and board the Train, the Act ends.

Tasks

Note at top says: "This is a rough overview. The latest Task Chain can be seen in the Progression Path in the Act II miro board:"

Critical tasks: "Find out how to get to Hämärä Maa: Activates upon arrival at the Train Station. Completes upon FELD interaction with the Continental Map. Subtasks: Consult the (huge) railway map on the wall. Ask for directions. Find a way aboard the 14:44 train: There are multiple ways to go about this objective. Let the PLayer know that their time at the Station is limited. This task can fail if the time runs out and the train begins to depart, triggering a failsafe "jumping on board" sequence with critical penalties. (It might also mean a different starting point for Cuno & Cunoesse in Act 3, with them waking up in the Cattle Car instead of the Passenger Car.) Solutions: Buy a ticket; Smuggle one of you on board; Steal a ticket; Forging? Distraction?; Each one of these can be a task with its own subtasks."

Side tasks: "Make the kid stop following you Figure out Beggar King's luggage stealing ring Evade the RCM officers Deal with your injuries? Find new clothes?"

Reactivity/Outcomes: "How many tickets you have = the ease of Trip blackmailing you; Lost items, money, if boarded via failsafe; Criminal from Jamrock Station knows all you did at the Station, and he boarded the same train; Hercule either left behind safely, or mugged, stranded and possibly even stabbed"

Items

At the top is a concept map of the station showing where items or perhaps people can be found. Note reads: "Please refer to the location map (hyperlinked) in Act II Miro for the latest number and distribution of items, NPC's and containers."

Definitely: None in this section

Maybe: Interactable: Can of dog food; Railway map of La Petit Continent; Book: interesting Zoology: Animal colonialism. Consumable: Candy stolen from a baby Other: Locust home upgrade item; an umbrella; Ring from the fish pond

To be decided: Clothing: a hat; Winter-barka; What are those? [A/N: ugly ass shoes]; Meque[sic] sailor shirt; pair of pants / a skirt?; Tioumoutiri T-shirt Consumables: x3 Substances, x4 Hype Healing item; x3 Hype Healing item Other: TBD ITEM from FISH POND

Special Assets

Systems: In-game economy: The buying-selling mechanic and the use of money start to play a role from this Act forward. Some preliminary design brainstorming needs to be done on the game economy, including what kind of merchants and money sources should each location require. Mechanic for a fishpond that generates 0.50 centimes every 30 minutes Special movement: Hercule pathfinding: See the Hercule character brief for the idea on the kid following Cuno & Cunoesse at a distance around the Train Station. He should initially be evasive and retreat if you try to approach him, only after some time you can catch up to him. Explore technical possibilities for implementing this kind of special pathfinding for Hercule. A large clock on the station wall which is in sync with the game one? Kid in a pet carrier: There's a sequence where the kids steal a dog carrier, and one of them crawls into it to be smuggled onto the train. There can be strategic screen fade to black to avoid some of the unnecessary animation work, but at the very least the player should be able to have a conversation with Trip where one of the kids' character model is replaced with a dog carrier model. Jumping on a train failsafe [has been cut]: Specifics are largely TBD, but there should be a scripted and [...] sequence where [...] in-game clock reaches 14:44, triggering a FELD-[...] where the [...] some Red Checks and jump on the departing train with minimum [...] losses. Introducing the Cooperative Red Check ?

Art: Map of La Petit Continent: Use the map from the Location Brief as reference. Half-screen sized, like Harry's *expression* painting. Afterwards, it should get added to the map roster in the journal screen. Should there be a marker on it that shows your location in each Act? Train Station map: Standard location map that automatically gets added to the Journal. Shows the layout of the station and platform. Should be done in the style of retro railway pamphlets / subway station maps. Location splash screen: This Act, and each consecutive Act, opens with a title screen overlaid on the environment (in the style of Control or Fringe.) containing the words "ACT II -- JAMROCK CENTRAL -- 1,347km to Hämärä Maa" [A/N - not sure what they mean by Control or Fringe] Kid in a pet carrier Dog model, running away Cuno and Cunoesse idles: Both in the free exploration of ACT I and in Act II, Cuno and Cunoesse's body language should be uncomfortable, suspicious - a lot of looking around and [...] kind of hunching into themselves, generally uncomfortable and [...] by possible witnesses. Jumping on board failsafe (animation) [has been cut] Hercule mugging animation Potentially animations for [...] other [...] the [...] dog [...] carrier [...]

Audio: Train Station foley: Voice calling out names of cities, murmur of crowds echoing in the waiting room space, sound of idling train engine on the platform, and more Action music for failsafe sequence?: The very short but intense failsafe sequence will require some action music. Since this is not necessarily the path the majority of players will see, the music doesn't need to be unique, it can be a piece of generic action music we will reuse in other tense chase/combat scenes as well. Dog/animal noises: voices for the dog in the dog carrier and/or other animals which might be present on the location. (Pigeons?) Subtle, occasional background music: The Train station is far less [...] than the Murder Scene, but still not as lighthearted or [...] as the Train. Most of the time, the Player's focus should be on the [...] sounds of the Train Station, and in the [...] of when a musical track is present, it should come with a sense of [...], feeling of tension, of looking over your shoulder, of being a fugitive on the run. Nothing [...], but rather a [...] reminder that this is not a place where you can relax. It is a place you are eager to leave, but you can't allow yourself to be too visibly agitated. Some musical references TBD?

[deansapplepie]

Sorry to all the friends I haven’t been reading and commenting their fics, when I’m good I don’t have time, when I have time I’m not good.

Also, I need to answer many comments, reblogs and some asks, I’ll do… I just don’t know when,BUT know I appreciate each and all of you!

*using this gif from my lovely friend Murda 🩷

[lola-andheruniverse]

I have a couple of fics to recommend. I’m not sure if you have before though. Both are ongoing works and AU.

One is Abundance of the Heart by LightenEverything. It has some STRONG themes that should be approached with caution.

The other is Rough and Tumble by iliveatlast. This one has some triggers in it but is not as strong as the first.

You may have already mentioned these. Shoot, I may have started reading them because you did. But I figured it’s worth a shot in case you hadn’t. :)

Hi, dear @murdadixon! Sorry, it took me a lot longer than I thought to get to your recs. Thank you so much for contributing to this little project and for being a friend. 💙 Rough and Tumble by @iliveatlast is a fan-favorite WIP and it was recommend on week 2. You can find my review for it here. 🙂 Abundance of the Heart by LightenEverything is posted on 9Lives and AO3. Summary: This story deals with childhood sexual abuse. If you are triggered by content related to that, do not read this story.

"Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks." (Matthew 12:34)

The gates to the compound stand open: heavy and wooden, in need of sanding and varnishing. Daryl stops his bike on the dirt track and squints through the evening haze at the sign just inside the sprawling property. Brethren of the Blessed Spring, in faded, peeling black letters. There used to be words beneath those, a Bible verse, maybe. But all that remains on the weathered board are specks of paint, faint grey smudges. On the gates, he notices, is the name of the compound, two letters on each gate so the name is displayed when they are closed: Elim. Daryl tries the word in his mind. It moves like something shutting, the syllables forbidding entrance.

Unable to get another job in the small town where he lives, Daryl goes to do maintenance work for the Brethren of the Blessed Spring in Colorado. Hoping for peace, for a routine without disturbance, he instead finds himself caught up in the lives of the community--particularly that of the head elder's wife. Rated: E / Explicit Word count: 233058 (64 chapters of ?) Published: June 17, 2023 - WIP As murda said and our author alerts on the summary, this fic deals with childhood sexual abuse, so, please, proceed with caution and be mindful of the warnings.

I think one of the best compliments you can pay to a story that deals with difficult topics is to say that, no matter how heavy it gets, it touches places of warmth and tenderness within you. As if somewhere in the horror there is a heartbreaking beauty. That's exactly what this fic does to us, the readers. It reminds me of Lolita, one of my favorite novels, if it was told from her perspective and not HH's. While it's horrible to witness what happens to Carol and learn what happened to Daryl, it's a relief and a comfort to see them finding each other and becoming a source of love and security for each other. It's caryl at it's finest in a very different and interesting AU. This fic is extremely well-written and there are moments of beautiful prose. Finally, as a mental health professional, I can say that the characterization of our beloved characters as victims of abuse is very realistic. I hope you enjoy this story for all it has the offer: the horror and the love. If you decide to give this a try, dear fellow caryler, don't forget to leave a nice review to our author, ok? I haven't said this in a while, but feedback is love, and love keeps a fandom alive. Caryl on!

@kami-kun1003

high fic request (it’s mad short and kinda class trial? Im sorry this is just what I produced 😭)

“Awrrr naurrrrrr,” J drew as she revealed herself as the killer, the killer of Artuer Giles.

“Tbh I can’t believe imma be executed for this pussy ass shit cause I think it’s a blessing that I killed his stupid hoe ass.”

“On god!” Arei chanted from heaven.

“Love you for that my queen!!!” Teruko shouted from across her podium.

Everyone whooped and cheered for my girly pop J Rosales, and J emoted victory dances from Fortnite in the center of the podiums.

Except for Ronnie.

Ronnie G was at her studio, sobbing her eyes out because she could never see her smhmoopy Kim’s pookie bear Arturo ever again bc stinky J killed Arturo.

Suddenly Veronika went super sayan and her fist got like mega huge and she punched J, instantly killing J.

“Erm what the shit!!!” Eden shouted stupidly.

“Somehow this little ginger cunt didn’t even try to hide her murda cause she killed infront of everyopopoooone!!” MonoTV said in the voice of a sassy woman, and then he morphed into cocaine. “Okay classssyyyy! Vote for the killer of J J J J!”

Then Teruko strangled Veronika with her bare hands.

“Erm what the shit!!!” Eden yelled stupidly again.

“Im done with these class trials and I have no more funding and Teruko gotta stay alive amiright!!! So this case is solved and no one else will die! Hooray!!!” MonoTV announced.

Teruko then morphed into J and threw a remote at MonoTV, knocking his head off, and then started emoting as MonoTV bled oil out.

The end.

[zalrb]

Sorry if you were asked this before, tried looking around and wasn’t sure which tag to look up.

What are some ships you ended up enjoying for what they were or unexpectedly enjoyed them and found yourself disappointed in the end even though you knew they weren’t going to work out because they were an obvious wedge between a “main” ship? (Hope this makes sense!)

The first one that comes to mind is Dair.

I didn't expect to like them, in fact I was vehemently against them in real time and then I ended up really shipping them, knowing that it would probably end with Chair but this was still my reaction when it happened

Simone and Chidi is another one

I knew from the beginning it was just an obstacle for Chidi and Eleanor but I was still annoyed when it went back to Chidi and Eleanor because I thought Simone and Chidi had chemistry and a better vibe and from the very beginning I thought Chidi and Eleanor could've just stayed friends.

Tahani and Jason are a little different

because I did really hope that they would make them real and lasting but Janet and Jason were always in the background so that knowledge that it could go to back to them was always there.

Same thing with Olivia and Jake

where some seasons I would be like OK so Olake is going to be it but then other seasons I'd be like so they're just an obstacle for Olitz but because it kept going back and forth, the fact that it was going to be Olitz was always in the back of my mind and I wasn't watching the final season of Scandal but when anons were telling me they effectively erased Olake by having Olivia say that Fitz was the only man she ever truly loved and then Jake ends up in prison and he started falling for Mellie, by that time I was over it so I was just like of course that happened.

So, Teak and Lil Murda in P Valley were just stressful and I really didn't expect to like them, well I didn't expect their relationship at all, it was a reveal. Lil Murda is in love with Uncle Clifford and Clifford and Lil Murda are, in a lot of ways, the central love story, and I really like them! but they were on a break and that's when Teak comes in and Teak and Lil Murda had a loaded history, they met and fell for each other in prison and Lil Murda got released before him but didn't go to visit him because he's closeted and didn't want to risk his reputation so there's just a lot of stuff with them, and I knew it wasn't going to last but the more scenes they had together, the more I liked them because I mean look at this!

and it just ended horribly and it was an ending I expected but it was still A LOT.

I liked Anna and Seth

I was, like, the only one who did and I remember when a friend revealed he liked them too and I was like YAY I'M NOT ALONE. And I knew it was going to be Seth and Summer and I like Seth and Summer but at the time I was like, *sigh* I wish Anna and Seth had more of a chance.

That's all I can think of right now.

Hate; feel intense dislike for.

A word we were all told was too strong, too cruel. Our family members hoping we’d listen and discard that word from our vocabulary.

Truth is, I never did. That word has stuck with me. One person is at fault for that. Your striking hands, striking words is what kept that word sitting at the back of my brain each day.

The way you looked at me, the way you had little to no sympathy as I cried and asked you to love me.

You told me you did, because I was your family. Then I heard this saying that a person that loves you, would never hurt you on purpose.

A person that loves you, wouldn’t give you trauma that would never end.

Instead, they would pick you up when you had fallen rather than laughing in your face. They wouldn’t raise their voice, nor their hand to you. But you did, so how can you love me?

How can you look me in the eyes and lie?

I’m not sorry when I say that I hate you, because I hate you with every fibre of my being. Never have I ever, wished bad on anyone, except you.

-murda

[angelwings-crossbowstrings]

I told myself I would not do this because of the anon hate I got last time. I have a house now but that really cut into the cash I have.

Idk what else to say other than I do work now, even though I’m disabled. Yes, I write stories but I work hard and I hurt for doing it.

Anyway, here is a GoFundMe to help with moving costs. If you want me to write something for you, I will. It just might take a while.

Please be kind and understand that I hate asking for help. Do not feel obligated. I love you just the same, whether or not you can donate.

Thank you all🩵

Secrets pt. 4

I was listening to Nero and skrillex on repeat that day. Switched it up to iggys murda business. I spent like 30 minutes I didn't actually have, rushing to fix my hair and makeup to match the frequency of my really cute outfit. I felt nice and was enjoying being alone. The girls wanted to go to Walmart for some back to school shopping. So I remember on the way, I got antsy all of a sudden. I couldn't place who or where something was happening, but I could tell something entered my field of energy. Mentally I tried to prepare; but this made me nervous so I just let it go. I was the last to get out of the car. I trailed behind the group in my little wedges and cute skirt. I don't know.. even in this memory, it feels like I'm replaying a scene from a movie.

I guess I was looking at my feet, or my really cute shoes. . But all I remember about that trip to wal-mart, was suddenly looking up- and seeing you. My heart panicked and I remember my only thoughts were how hot you looked, and keeping the right amount of balance on each shoe to not fall over. Unfortunately, I had to keep walking, even though each step forward got heavier and heavier. What a great day and a sad day at the same time. So sad. Like the night I met you and you were in the backseat. So hot. Hotter than a summers day. I was joking about the backbends - or how I'm sorry if I stared- but you're such a good distraction- life is never fair and for the longest time, one of my wishes was that somehow, in another life I met you first.

I like the idea of Murda's weakness being really loud sound because she listens to death metal ndjdjfjskfbdjd. But that aside, got anything more about the snake witch? She looks like an ultimate mom friend(tm) and I am super interested in her!!

she IS the ultimate mom friend!!!!!

➞

- her name is hanah!! shes 54 years old and is tol. 

- she lives in the desert region!!!! inspo kinda by gerudo desert kind of region!!!! (also an excuse to put mochi and lime in that cool ass desert style clothes hell yeah hell yeah) and shes pretty lowkey. shes a snake-charmer/fortune teller

- shes actually a part of mochis mothers generation of witches!! tiramisu and hanah are good friends. 

- the snake witch title was supposed to pass on to her oldest daughter (who was only a year or so older than mochi)  but the coattails actually killed her daughter during the power transfer before it was complete, so the title shifted back to her. she has another daughter that will eventually inherit it, but that one is only about 10 years old so she has a few more years

- DESPITE TRAGEDY, shes very kind. mochis met her before and shes always so sweet. she makes them food and helps train mochi whenever mochi needs help.

- but because of the daughterthinghanah hates the coattails with a passion. after the power transfers to her daughter shes on a sworn mission to go out and kill as many off them as humanly possible

- she would do it now while shes powerful, but killing another human would corrupt and damage the magic for her and her daughter so she has to wait

- i think hanah is where mochi and tiramisu go when they leave between the 1st and 2nd arc??? when mochi disappears for a year??? i think they go to hanahs region (the desert is void of rain and has a lot of open space for pushing the limits of mochis magic)

- her stomach is a bottomless pit. she will eat. everythingf.

- when she gets half-snake, im kind of thinking maybe a medusa look??? maybe??????? and/or her hair turns into snakes

- her spirit/eye/energy color is red. her weapon of choice is either a spear or a bow/arrow

- has snake bite piercings (lol) 

- she is EXTREMELY flexible

- she doesnt really have a guild anymore!! she used to but now that shes older and her magic is settled and shes pretty well-hidden her guild kind of moved on/away!! i think one member of her old guild still lives in the city, but thats all

- her familiar’s name is vin!! she looks like a huge black cobra and helps hanah with fortune-telling/snake-charming. alsohanah wears her like a boa. 

- amazing at bargaining for spell goods. a cunning penny-pincher. 

- her daughter is adorable!!! idont have a name for her but she has white hair and shes pretty quiet!! she likes mochi and lime and always hangs out when they come over

- (lime loves the desert region. its nice and warm and the stars are beautiful and clear there and also mochis outfit is more skimpy than usual so he thrives)

“This is the closest to sorry Teak gone get. Lil’ Murda reaches out across the table, placing his finger on Big Teak’s knuckle. He slowly makes circles around it. If they were anywhere else, maybe this would be a stolen kiss. But right now, while the world watches, while the world turns, this is all the tenderness Lil’ Murda can muster for his first love. A beat. Big Teak takes his big burly hand and pinches Lil’ Murda’s nose between his knuckles.”

STOPPIT STOPPIT STOPPIT STOPPIT STOPPIT! Are you punishing me for the other week with these posts??? Or just teying to turn everyone feral???

Love 7

OOPS!

My bad? I mean, I think everyone here should know I'm gonna throw a whole lot of hot boy in your face. So, I'll only take so much responsibility for my actions ;)

I can't say I'm sorry, but I do know that the wiggles are a particular weakness of yours. Let's have a closer look at 7, shall we?

Yeah, this is pretty cute. Anytime he's shaking his ass, I'm down with it, but of the dances in the set you're referring to, I think I'll always be a sucker for 4 and 6... 6 is out to kill someone.

Anyway...yeah. I'm gonna continue on with the attempted murdas via Dylan content. Stay tuned for death ;)

7thleveldown is referring to my content in general, but specifically to a wiggle compilation that I reblogged HERE that is the source of the gifs in this post ;)

"It wasn't total bullshit; I read up on the penal code when I was in the clink. Different planets in the galaxy got different penalties, but murda charges get long sentences all 'cross the board. Only chance I'da had if I was guilty is if some ma-fucka made a Polarian version a' Dreadzone and kidnapped me."

Sergio was born and raised in Solana, so when he started his life of crime, it was always a possibility to get "drafted" in the original Dreadzone. He'd had a few nightmares where he woke up with an explosive collar around his neck and was forced to murder other criminals for rich men's entertainment.

Suppose it ain't too different from what I did do, 'cept there'd be a whole lot more eyes on me.

"Sorry. I, uh, know I should be happier 'bout how thangs did turn out. It's gon' be a minute 'fore I get used ta folks givin' a fuck about me."

The twins would have gotten word that Sergio would be processed and released at a PDF station not too far away from the courtroom. Getting there would be a cinch...had it not been for the paparazzi and their flash photography.

"Miss Prog, was Mr. Salvadora involved in your jailbreak last year?" asked one journalist.

"Did you pay for Mr. Salvadora's lawyer?" asked another.

"Is Mr. Salvadora meant to replace Mr. Prog as your enforcer, Miss Prog?"

Dear sweet Orvus, did these people seriously not know when to shut the hell up and leave them alone?! All their questions, the constant talking, and flashing lights from their cameras were slowly driving her crazy and giving her a headache. Teleportation would have saved her from all the pain for sure, but she wanted to save it for the trip back home. Something told her the paparazzi would get even more annoying once she and Neftin reached the station Sergio had been brought to after he was escorted out of the courtroom.

"No comments..." Vendra grumbled while her brother used one of his massive hands to shield her from the paparazzi, basically making it near impossible to take good photos of her, and keep her close to himself. The giant didn't trust any of the paparazzi or journalists, so he would make sure to keep his sister safe until they were at the station. At least there they would finally be left alone... hopefully.
