Time to see if you have been lying lately~

[skunkes]

unsure how to word this but there is something about having ocs with unsavory events happening in their past where it's like. talking about it, even when asked, seems almost gratuitous and inappropriate. and i'd much rather describe it through the oc themself and/or draw Them saying it. which is like. fitting for the subject matter? like of course its weird to talk about somebody else's business...!

and falls back into humanizing em/exploratory writing and development where u consider the impact of words said/words unsaid/HOW those words are said etc etc

[duskier]

okay wait with the clothes frittata thing you mentioned a couple posts back

I feel like Simon and price would be most likely?

especially with the dynamic I see them as having- Simon goes to price for help whenever he’s stressed or anxious or angry or just overall overwhelmed/about to snap, which brings them into their dynamic of Simon having little tasks like cockwarming Price with his mouth or being a human ashtray—something easy for him to succeed in that helps him settle and relax? Idk

ANYWAYS

Simon gets handed off to some other captain or something, someone who has no idea at all what he needs, how to handle him, what his specialties are

The mission ends up going badly, and Simon’s about to break into a thousand pieces—he can’t handle just remembering that CO glossing over and ignoring him!! He’s about to do something illegal and borderline war criminal!!

Storms into Price’s office, and he can immediately tell Simon’s on the brink of sanity. Brings him over, behind the desk, and now we’re back to your idea, clothed frontage :3

because while the two have a strong hind and relationship, and Simon has gone without a couple clothing articles, he’s too deep in his anger to be anywhere near able to get them off, and price needs to act fast to help sooth his boy and help him release all that stress :33

YOU GET ME THIS IS THE EXACT DYNAMIC THAT I LOVE WITH PRICE AND GHOST!!

Like. That caretaker dynamic but not a parental way more of a zookeeper who specializes in the dangerous tiger way.

Price thinks, I know what he needs. Only I know what he needs. He can always come to me, I'll drop everything to provide for him. He doesn't know any better, he needs me. Only me, only I.

Ghost thinks, he'll always take care of me. I have to be good for him so he can't have a reason to leave me. I owe him everything, without him I am nothing.

Ghost not being able to stand people touching his bare skin, of course Price knows that. Is more than happy to let him rut desperately against his thigh, no matter how much the fabric jostling together burns after a time. Price is proud to see his boy on the battlefield, overjoyed to be the only person Ghost comes to to really let go and whimper and whine and want.

gnawing on qpissa purgatory vibes. it's the perfect scenario for a role reversal, for them to see each other in ways they never have. qphil left without his armor, both literal and metaphorical - he doesn't have his backpack his wings are out and unkempt his balance is fucked he's losing his mind and spiraling, the island is getting to him in ways quesadilla island never did and at such a rapid pace. and then qmissa finding his footing in purgatory, embracing the harsher parts of himself that he never showed to phil before - the mean side he has, the bitter fierce need to survive above all else. do they know each other when they see each other again? do they recognize the person they love? despite everything it's still you. broken down to the worst parts of myself do you look at me and see me do you love me like you did before now that you know.

If I ran a country cowboy themed restaurant bar, I would name it "The Country Club"

Legalities be darned. I'm changing the meaning of "Country Club".

When I hear "Country Club," I think of a heavy southern restaurant that smells of steaks and onions, the sounds of glass mugs and silverware clanking, and boots against an unpolished raw hardwood floor. A space on the floor plan where people can dance, or on special event nights, they install a mechanical bull. There's a wide array of country and rock music that plays above the noise of people laughing and chattering. It's a very chill and welcoming place for anyone of all ages to drop by for an affordable fun meal that's all made from scratch and hand. You can dress up in full cowboy/cowgirl attired if you wanted. Sometimes, they host a hoedown night on weekends.

When I think "Country Club," I do not think of a bougie golf course that is not worth the money. I wanna steal a golf cart, tho. Go for a joy ride.

Also making myself read again before I read other stuff that I need to read and the big o manga is scratching my brain after having seen the anime goood I wanna make some kinda of comparison post when I finish. (I’m only 4 chapters in but SO MUCH is different)

[misscrazyfangirl321]

i'd also love to see a grumpy mechanic with their :D android.

"GOOD. MORNING. SIR. HOW. ARE. YOU. TODAY?"

How a machine with no inflection in its voice can sound so chipper, he has no idea, but it needs to stop. Or else fix him a really big cup of coffee, because good grief.

"Yup."

"I'M. SORRY. SIR. BUT. THE. WORD. YUP. IS. NOT. IN. MY. DATABASE. OF. EMOTIONS. PLEASE. DEFINE."

Chipper and sarcastic. Great; just great. Who programmed this thing, again? "Yup is the emotion I feel when I'm thinking about turning you into scrap metal." He scowls at it, wishing not for the first time that it had come with a working face, rather than a perpetually frozen smile.

"SCRAP. METAL. CANNOT. FIX. YOUR. COFFEE. MACHINE."

It's enough to derail him, at least, and he looks over to see that-yes-his coffee machine, which hasn't been functioning in over a year, leaving him to suffer through instant coffee, is now shiny and repaired. A sight for sore eyes. He casts a suspicious glance at his droid, but of course the face remains impassive.

"How'd you know to do that? I never told you to."

"IT. FALLS. WITHIN. MY. PARAMETERS."

And here it is: the thing they always come back to. Ever since this droid showed up on his doorstep three years ago, rusted and in need of repair, he's never been able to make sense of its purpose. He's asked again and again, but always run into a wall of cool steel.

Now, again, he tries. "And what are your parameters?"

"ANSWERING. THAT. DOES. NOT. FALL. WITHIN. MY. PARAMETERS."

The typical answer. He fights a sigh. "And even though that thing's been broken a year, fixing it just now 'fell within your parameters'?"

"YUP."

He stops. Stares.

"HA. HA. HA." It adds, helpfully.

But that's the thing: it is helpful, so helpful that he's not altogether sure he could do his job without it any more. Especially now, when his joints aren't what they once were, and his back aches if he twists into the odd positions required for machine repair. Whatever this thing is, whatever its purpose, he needs it. And usually, he's even glad it's here.

"ISN'T. THE. WEATHER. WONDERFUL. TODAY?"

Usually.

had to get back home without using my phone much cause it was abt to die.... devastating moment for people who combat overthinking by occupying themselves with scrolling/music (me)

[angryborzois]

well that was something

[spotsupstuff]

I saw the Ask regarding your Ancients and

Yeah I agree with everything they said. Ancients being sea anemones is just... So right. Can't see them any other way (They are funky freaky sea anemones that grew legs!) /pos

I love your own spin on things, too! (even if they aren't meant to stick close to cannon, it's fun to think about!)

It still feels all plausible to me in the Rain World Universe, which just opens so many Avenues to expand on things! Words are escaping me but I just

Love yer stuff so much

the ancients are fucking seafood n i think that explains why they are Like That to a degree ngl GJKLSDCMLSK The Seafood Vibes of a Whole Species....

i do find it interesting though how ya two stand behind the sea anemone thing with "it feels right". cuz like yes, i obviously agree! when u look at the hair bullshit they have goin on in the graffiti/murals, it makes a lot of sense. but i do think most fandom still thinks n stands behind the idea of the ancients being some sort of a land creature, like lizards, scav-related, birds, dogs... which is Very valid n in a way i do perceive those as the basis for ancients as well. i think of myself as an outlier. so the fact ya two go "it feels right" is very "👁👁 o wowie... lookit dat.. look..... (*꒪ヮ꒪*)" to me /in a v pos way

-snaps fingers n points atcha- but YES!!! *YES* THAT'S A BIG THING FOR ME- i can go off wherever i wanna n where the feelings will lead me but it Has to still fit into the universe! if the universe is a little changed because of the way i go about drawing the iterators, then okay, but there is still a certain Rain World vibe that needs to be respected no matter what cuz otherwise i stop writing about RW. which i don't wanna do cuz i love this lil shitlet of a game. and IDEALLY by straying away from the largely canon stuff but staying with the Vibes, i will- exactly, yes!!!!- open up new Avenues for world-building!!!!!

world-building is genuinely one of my favorite things to do. with RW it is especially fascinating because all of the information that we are really offered is all from a singular source that is Moon's/Pebbles' facilities (when it comes to visually/gameplay relaid information) Or what we can mostly safely assume is a singular continent wide network of iterators (since Suns is kinda weird to place cleanly)

RW is fascinating and engaging because while it offers only a small piece of the world for us to learn from, it uses the passage of time to expand upon itself n i fuckin Love it. also the main reason why i'm trynna respect the general timeline as much as possible. thanks to this expansion through time, not space, RW manages to never really feel stifling and claustrophobic when reviewing the lore

i do like to pose the question or my tactic of going 180°- which means that i take what is given, turn exactly the other way n start Marching in order to widen the horizont of understanding of the universe (n i also do that with characters pretty often ngl... i love my 180° rule a lot). if RW is focusing on expansion within time, i'll do my best to focus on expansion within space and then detail That

and thank you!!! i'm glad you enjoy my stuff!!!!

I‘ve been rotating this in my brain all day, I need to stop lol.

🦉 and 🦩 !

milo!!!!!

🦉 a clever quote

It shouldn't have been as upsetting as it was. It was ridiculous, really, that Neil was letting it get to him at all. But the combination of volume and tone reminded him so much of his mother that he couldn't help his instinctive reaction.  When his back hit the wall, it sounded like the car igniting.

from something that may or may not be coming soon, depending on how well i can convince my brain to function this week :'D

🦩dealer's choice

Ignoring his problems until they crashed down around him had been a recurring problem of his, so it was nice to know that the pattern hadn't been broken yet.  It would get him killed this time. It almost did last time.  (The knife had been sharpened recently. It wasn't meant for them, but that didn't make a difference to the knife.)

some interesting formatting i'm playing with for another unnamed wip that got absolutely out of my control lmao (but doesn't this always happen to me?) i wonder who the text is talking about? 🤔
