#my favorite outlast 2 character

[hellsfavgal]

SHE'S SO FUCKING COOL!!

I'm so happy to have reached the outlast 2 fandom through this app! Anywho! Marta!!!!!

[sleepdeprivedandoverthinking]

Saying this as both an Outlast and Mouthwashing lover.

A lot of people in the Mouthwashing fandom would not be able to handle it in the Outlast fandom, especially when it comes to liking characters.

Especially on tik tok, it seems the Mouthwashing fandom is so strict with what it does and doesn't allow, like I hate Jimmy as much as the next guy, but it's not a crime for someone to draw him or include him in the cast. He's an IMPORTANT part of the plot. The tik tok fandom also seems to say Mouthwashing shouldn't have a fandom point blank period because it's "too deeply thought out" and fanfics, ocs, and such shouldn't exist because it "ruins the story".

Meanwhile Outlast is a horrific, well thought out game with several installments, and the fandom is (mostly) chill. Like it's abundantly clear these guys aren't good people or even conventionally attractive to most people, yet they're adored and people make silly jokes of them all the time and make tons of fanfics, aus, and ocs. Hell, 90% if the fandom's favorite or second favorite dude is a guy who cuts people's dicks off and then kills them.

This isn't meant to say you can't have boundaries or things you like/dislike, but much of the Mouthwashing fandom overpolicies the fandom, and some even say Mouthwashing shouldn't have a fandom period because it's "too serious and dark" while Outlast is serious and dark yet no one cares what you do in the fandom.

Both are horror games with great stories.

Both produce gorgeous fanart and deep theories, and it's clear love is put into several art pieces and theories.

Difference is, a majority of one fandom can't handle fandom ACTING like fandom.

-------------------------------------------------

Mini edit: Honestly this could be about fandom as a whole nowadays but given they're both horror games, albeit different types, with fan bases, that I love, I decided to compare them. Lets try to be civil please in discussion.

Edit 2: Okay, this got a lot more attention than I thought. TO AGAIN CLARIFY, its okay to have boundaries and personal reasons you may not like a character but like another. Same goes for certain aspects of fandom culture. But there's also the aspect of "block/scroll and move on". Frankly, my examples from Mouthwashing were things I have personally seen that you may not have, hence why some of you may be confused.

What horror games have you played/wanted to play? Also have you tried any rpg maker horrors?

I actually don't play that many horror games, I don't think? Between you and me most of them are... Kind of garbagee. But I like when really weird things are taken dead seriously, which most video games don't succeed at. But in the rare time they DO, it usually falls into the "horror" genre at least loosely. I'm just going to list my favorites:

PS: I'm really showing how insufferable I am with these summaries, sorry!

The Outlast series: the most Tasteful tasteless gory-shit-fest of a horror series I've ever seen. I don't like shock for the sake of shock, and Outlast somehow manages to always make it for the sake of SOMETHING. The original game+DLC is a buttload of fun, and if you pull back one layer it also poses some interesting and difficult questions about the place and treatment of the criminally inclined in society. Pull yet another layer back and you find a fascinating subversion of the expected role men are supposed to inhabit in horror games. The second game is a vastly different, and profoundly emotional experience, opinions on it vary for reasons I find very understandable, but I personally really like it.

Fear & Hunger: I guess this answers your question about RPG horror games! Unfortunately, this is the only one I ever played that I liked, but REALLY like it, I have a tattoo of the circle of perfection on the back of my hand, even, lol (I already had other hand tats, don't freak out). I just really like the absurdity of the story and all of the lore that the developer has cooked up for it, and the way it all matters but also kind of doesn't. I think its an insane feat to have achieved the atmosphere he did with the limited tools he has, not to mention the massive amount of respect I have for any creator that simultaneously wears their influences on their sleeves while displaying massive creativity and originality.

Pathologic: This game kind of speaks for itself honestly. Its just brutal, creative, infuriating, I could go on - It's probably the most immersive experience I've ever had in a game. If you've never played it before I would suggest buying Pathologic 2 (don't worry about it) and playing it completely blind. Forget about "winning", forget even about succeeding, just go about it as if you were in the protagonist's shoes and see where you leads you.

Scorn: Without a doubt in my top 5 games of all time and I don't care that that is an insane take. This game is everything I want from interactive stories - entirely intuitive, doesn't spoonfeed you a single grain of its lore or pushes its story on you, it just puts the pieces in your hands and its up to you to feel it on instinct. This 5 hour game with no dialogue, no text, not even any named characters to speak of had me crying at its ending and I didn't even know whether I was sad or overjoyed. I fucking LOVE scorn.

Honorable mention:

The Space Between by Christoph Frey (not to be confused with The Space INbetween.): Is a short, 30 minute experience about intimacy presented through a horror lens. I really don't want to say anything else about it, but I played it like 5 years ago and I still hold it near and dear to my heart. It's a master's guide to storytelling through semiotics and exemplary in it's... Emotionally charged visuals? Like, I had never before seen a story make sentiment into and external, tangible thing quite like this one does, like turning sound into an object or something. Amazing little indie game.

I don’t know if you do these kinds of requests, but ever since I’ve seen that ONE scene in arcane with cait and vi to the song fantastic I can’t stop thinking about ace, and the other two to possibly that song. is there a way you could write a one shot to that song? like ace was listening to it and thinking of jj and em, or simply the fic being based around that song? or even ace singing that song like that one time she sang infront of them at the bar. if not that’s totally okay, I just thought this could be a really good idea since you’re so good at what you do. thank you!

Arcane

JJ’s voice startles you, and you fumble the remote in your hands like a child playing Hot Potato. You manage to hit the pause button and greet her. A single eyebrow quirks at your weird behavior. There’s a mischievous twinkle in her eye. “Whatcha doing, baby?”

“Just… erm… just watching a show. The one I was telling you about a few days ago. Arcane.”

“You didn’t mention it was animated porn,” she teases happily.

“Wha.. wait… umm what?” JJ points to the screen, her lips pressed together in a feeble attempt to keep from giggling. “Oh.” Your face turns a deeper shade of red. Of course it paused on a very obvious lesbian sex scene in a prison cell of all places. “I mean, there’s definitely sex. But it’s not porn. It’s set in the League of Legends universe and focuses on two sisters.”

“Is that them,” JJ asks, gesturing again at the frozen screen of Vi inching her way down Caitlyn’s body.

“No, no. Those are… well, one of them is. It’s hard to explain,” you grumble with a sigh. “This is already well into season 2.”

“The detail in the animation is pretty spot on. You’ve had me in a very similar position more than a few times, so I feel like an expert opinion on the matter.” The lilt in her tone is teasing, full of banter. You roll your eyes. The animation is great. It’s one of the many things you love about the show. “Rewind it. Let’s see this thing that’s not porn.”

“Jen,” you whine. “Don’t say it like that. It’s not… it’s a whole story. I promise. I’m not watching porn.”

“Mmm, nothing wrong with a little porn, baby. But that’s for another day. Play it. I want to see what you’re all flustered about.”

You send the video back about 45 seconds and press play.

The first thing JJ comments on are Vi’s tattoos. “Fuck, love a girl with ink like that,” she hums. Then it’s a note about one of her favorite holidays. “You know this would make an excellent Halloween costume, right? We could do some temporary blue dye in Em’s hair.”

As Vi mouths her way down Caitlyn’s chest, JJ hums. “Alright, that’s hot. I approve wholeheartedly.”

“It’s not porn,” you mumble. “It’s like the slowest burn ever to get to this point. And so much fucking drama. There’s plot. I swear. A lot of plot. Good plot.”

“Mhmm. You know they had some excellent queer animators making that show if they can nail the facial reactions like that. Play it again.”

“You don’t even know the characters.”

“Don’t need to. It’s really good. Or maybe I’m just projecting what it feels like when you go down on me,” JJ hums. “When you kiss my neck and squeeze my breasts before you sink to your knees in front of me…”

“Jesus, Jen.”

“I’ll act it out with you. C’mon.” She takes your hand dragging you to your feet. “I’ll even call you Cupcake if you want.”

You chuckle, shaking your head. “Please don’t. This feels silly enough as it is.”

“The blue haired girl doesn’t stay upright for very long. I bet I could outlast her. You’re good, but you’re not animated-porn-level good,” she teases with a smug smile.

“You’re such a pain in the ass,” you declare, tugging her shirt over her head and releasing the fasten of her bra with practiced ease. The force of your kiss knocks her back against the wall, and she moans at the display of passion. Your hands cup her breasts as your lips work against hers.

“You’re supposed to be kissing my neck,” JJ gasps when you pinch her nipples firmly. You roll your eyes dramatically, gripping her chin to turn her head. You bite her pulse point, quickly soothing the nip it’s your tongue. “Fuck, baby,” she sighs. “Love your teeth on me.”

JJ pushes on your shoulders. “Thought you wanted me to kiss your neck?”

“Now I want you to kiss something else, Cupcake.”

You suck at her skin just below her collarbone. “Pain.” Then the valley between her breasts. “In.” The edge of her rib cage. “My.” Just below her belly button. “Ass.” With each nip, you sink lower and lower until you’re kneeling at her feet. Her chest expands in quick breaths, her blue eyes looking down at you filled with desire and need.

Her leggings puddle to the floor, and you make the time to kiss her mound through the thin fabric of her panties. “Really don’t need the teasing, baby,” she hums, her fingers running through your hair, dislodging wild strands from the confines of your braid. You have no intention of giving in, taking your time to drive her wild. “Need your tongue… Ace…”

“Hmmm,” you sound thoughtfully. Her hips buck at the vibrations. Her panties slide to the ground with the smallest tug, and you secure her left leg over your shoulder. The aroma of her arousal is intoxicating, and you lick through her length. Her fingers tighten in your hair, gripping for balance and connection. She tastes divine, and you doubt you’ll ever get enough of her. Her head thumps back against the wall, a breathy moan escaping her lips, when you push your tongue as deep into her pussy as you can. “So perfect,” you hum. “So beautiful.”

Your lips wrap around her clit, sucking and stroking as her abdominal muscles quiver. “Fuck, baby… fuckkk,” she drawls out, the elongated syllable punctuated by an another moan. “Just like that. Just like that.” The more JJ rambles, the louder she rambles, the closer she gets. She whines her desperation, her hips rocking against your face, as she chases her release. “Yes… yes… yes…” When JJ comes, it’s with a loud shout, her muscles relaxing as her orgasm spreads through her. She’s so wet against your lips and chin, and you take your time sucking her clean.

When she sinks down the wall into your lap, you smirk smugly at her, proud of your work and the reaction it elicited. “Still pretty sure it’s porn, Cupcake,” JJ taunts. You roll your eyes and playfully dump her to the floor.

This woman will be the death of you, but you wouldn’t want it any other way.

Hopefully this doesn't come off as snarky, but I find it genuinely hilarious that every "big-name" Leona fan that I've seen seems to like him against their will lol. I've always had Leona as my favorite, so it's fun to see the journey other people go through to liking/appreciating him!

Look 💦 I can’t speak for other L*ona likers (regardless of size, honestly; I'm a firm believer that one's level of internet fame isn't a factor in the devotion for a character) but for me—to quote Scar—“my words are a matter of pride.” And by confessing to (ick 🤢) LIKING LION… it’s throwing all that pride out of a window. It seriously does feel like these feelings exist against my will.

I have a summary of my story to explain my relationship with the lion lore 💀 I call it a summary, but it’s still kind of long— It's below the cut for those who are interested!

To begin with, the promotional materials didn’t sell me on him. Everything about how he initially presents—from his arrogance to his “tough/bad boy” design (seriously, that biker-cowboy combo of his dorm uniform is SO ugly and shows way too much skin for my liking…)—was so unappealing to me. He seemed exactly like the kind of character and tropes I tend to dislike. The only “good” thing I saw in him was his face (which, ironically, is what Vil says about him) and maybe his UM chant particularly the line where he demands you kneel before him. Then comes along book 2, which is easily the weakest of the main story and does a HUGE disservice to him, making L*ona seem a lot stupider than he actually is. At that point, I had basically written his entire character off. I claimed to all my Twst friends that there was nothing that would ever make me like him.

Around 2022, I decided to get involved in a round of EBG (Epic Bias Game) which is basically like a test of your will?? You’re supposed to compete with your friends to see who can go for the longest without talking about or acknowledging their oshi (which includes not being able to react to fan works of them). As part of EBG, each participant was randomly assigned a “new oshi” to replace the usual one AND GUESS WHAT, I GOT HANDED L*ONA BY THE WHEEL OF FATE 💀

One of my friends (who knew I hardcore hated him at the time) assured me that this would get me to change my mind. They even went out of their way to write a little story explaining how my OC was forced to spend more time with L*ona, which led me into writing interactions between them to build more of the lore. I managed to outlast the friend in EBG, but didn’t win the entire game. I came out of it not really feeling super different about L*ona, but I think forcing myself to write about him extensively helped me gain a little more perspective on his character. I still didn’t like him, but I at least appreciated his presence in the cast a little more.

AND THEN TWST HAD TO COME AND BASH ME OVER THE HEAD WITH L*ONA CONTENT… All the little vignettes and voice lines where other characters would talk about what a good leader he is (*glares at Epel, Jack, Ruggie, Savanaclaw mobs, etc.*), when he sarcastically claims to be a “delicate prince” or a “lost child”, those moments where he sasses others, times when he’s able to use his charisma and/or intelligence to pull ahead, rare instances when he whips out his royal manners, him respecting women… But I think the turning point for me had to have been book 6 OTL GOOD LORD, BOOK 6 FUCKED ME UP 😭 Him using his UM in a creative way to turn falling glass shards into harmless sand? And strategically turning himself in?? Willingly ceding control of the dorm to Ruggie??? Telling everyone about Styx’s lore???? AND THE BEEF HE HAD WITH JAMIL BUT STILL GIVING HIM WISDOM AND ADVICE… Sometimes I still tear up thinking about how L*ona says “You’re not like me,” to Jamil 😔 implying that part of the reason why L*ona guides others is because he has hope in their futures but not his own… (I’m still salty that EN messed up this line by changing it to “I’m not like you,” which makes him come off as way more arrogant 💦) Anyway, I blame book 6 for being the tipping point in my downward spiral 🌀 IT GOT WORSE IN BOOK 7 WHEN HE STARTED SHOWING HE'S MOTIVATED TO ACTUALLY GRADUATE AND TAKES ON AN INTERNSHIP THAT COULD BENEFIT HIS COUNTRY... Special shoutout to the Club Wear card for being especially hot-- I did my best to hold out against the steady drip of content that called attention to his… positive traits… (Not that I’m saying he doesn’t have any; I mean this in that whenever his strengths as a character are brought up, they really get to me as someone who loves intelligent, mature/responsible types and “big brother” figures OTL) BUT IT'S SO HARD WHEN TWST KEEPS PULLING STUFF LIKE THAT???

Then in 2024 came the stupid Lost in the Book with Nightmare Before Christmas event 💀 which finally introduced us to L*ona in full formal attire (MY WEAKNESS) and gave him the opportunity to be in the role of the "hero" and leader... and those Nightmare Suit vignettes 😭 Leona thinking about what it actually means to be "king"... Ugh, it was another strong showing of his character. I'm pretty sure it was this event that started the snowball of my friends (lovingly) bullying me about him and calling me a tsundere about it. Weirdly enough, a BUNCH of things started happening irl to push L*ona at me too. For example, my pet (who usually actively avoids or attacks Twst stuff) was actually eager to pose for a picture with a L*ona standee. In a group fan merch order, I had asked for the bonus Grim sticker but the artist (who had no idea about my complicated thoughts on L*ona) said they were out of the Grim sticker but they had L*ona stickers they could include instead. Most recently, I had just finished this last-minute artwork of Miss Raven eating pocky by herself to celebrate Pocky Day (11/11). Typically the fan art you'd see on this day would involve two characters playing the "Pocky Game" (in which the players try to eat a stick of pocky from either end; usually it's framed as romantic since meeting in the middle results in a kiss). However, I had chosen to do a solo Miss Raven art because I thought this suited her "I want to be taken seriously!" personality better. Well, guess what? I GOT A PACKAGE DELIVERY NOTIFICATION FOR THE TWST MERCH ORDER... WITH L*ONA IN IT 💀 Almost like he heard there was food meant for sharing and he came to claim it for himself... Like I literally did NOT choose for these things to happen to me, THEY HAPPENED ON THEIR OWN. I DON'T BELIEVE IN PREORDAINED EVENTS BUT THE UNIVERSE SURE IS WORKING IN STRANGE WAYS.

So now that the tables have turned, it’s really embarrassing. Everything is coming back to bite me in the butt… It truly feels like L*ona plotted this all along and was on the prowl, patiently waiting for me to get worn down before he pounces and delivers the final blow to my ego OTL Like, it's gotten to the point where many of my long-time friends in the Twst community are now joking that "It's over" for J word... ONE OF THEM EVEN TOLD ME IT FEELS LIKE I'M GETTING DIVORCED AND L*ONA IS THEIR NEW STEPDAD, HOW AM I SUPPSOED TO FEEL ABOUT HTHAT ??????????? ? ? ????? ? ??? ? ?? ?? ? ???? ?

But by the far the worst, the WORST part about everything here is that if L*ona were fully sentient, he would be so smug about recent developments 😡 It makes me SO mad thinking about how he'd look down on me with that hot smug rage-inducing smirk of his and make fun of me for eating my words so badly.

“What was that you said about hating my guts, herbivore? … Hah, it's written all over your face--you're terrible at hiding your true feelings. You can just give in, you know. Tell me how much you worship me. How much you want me. You'll give in eventually one way or another--so why not make this easier for the both of us and save us the time of playing the wait game? I don't bite, promise." (<- a liar)

(Disclaimer: NOT MY MERCH; this is a L*ona Liker friend’s picture that they’re letting me use as a reaction image 😅)

THIS IS FR MY OVERBLOT ORIGIN STORY…

[blurrymango]

Ok so.

Chara, Frisk, and Kris as the protagonists of the Outlast series.

Does this make sense? No.

Especially for Chara. I feel like their role would be better suited for either Billy Hope or the Walrider itself. However. Waylon Park holds a special place in my heart. For... For shipping reasons. :/ And Chara is my favorite character of all time. So I just had to give Chara Waylon's role.

Also it's like 2 AM I did not feel like doing detailed hands. I also prolly should have made it clearer that Chara and Frisk and Kris are like. Grown adults. By giving them the hairstyles I draw their adult versions with. But alas. It is in fact late as shit so. I went with default hair.

On Wuthering Heights and Canto VI (complete)

wow.

move over “Call me Ishmael” line, this is the Canto that most resembles its source book. We’ve got direct quotes! We’ve got scenes playing out like the original, beat for beat! I’m so glad I read Wuthering Heights beforehand, because unlike the previous ones where it just enhanced the experience a little (or even left me unsatisfied that they didn’t adapt certain things), I can’t imagine what it might’ve been like to not know everything in the book.

It’s kind of uncanny, actually, the extent to which things are similar. At the end of part 2 I was thinking about how there could’ve been a universe where the events of the book continued to stay the same if not for Erlking Heathcliff learning about the alternate worlds, and hey, after looking at so many universes of Catherine and Heathcliff making each other miserable, Dante (*edit: I wrote Cathy here first. I forgot it was Dante who saw it) found one where they’re happy together, both as ghosts, which! Is just the end of real actual Wuthering Heights!

We continued to have canon divergence in that way of "what if [character] had done something different?" which is always my favorite, even if some of it was just visions into a timeline where things were different. What if Heathcliff recognized he was just as bad as Hindley when it came to Hareton? What if Heathcliff and Cathy hadn't gone to spy on Thrushcross Grange that night? What if Heathcliff had stayed to listen to the rest of what Cathy had to say?

It's a tragedy, and Erlking Heathcliff, and our Heathcliff, and every other Heathcliff believed that it was the type where he was doomed from the start, because of who he is, and nothing can change that. But Dante knew that no, actually, it's a tragedy because of the choices that were made, and they can't be changed now, but you can change, and that's how you change your fate.

Individual characters

Not surprised Hindley distorted. I think this one had a lot more hate within him than the original

RIP Isabella Linton, I mean Isabella Edgar. She found someone who wasn't Heathcliff and her brother STILL stopped talking to her, and ended up being used by Erlking Heathcliff anyway

Speaking of Linton (Edgar). I don't have much to say because if I'm being honest I don't like him very much and everything he said was kinda overshadowed by his absolutely disgusting death. Catherine saying he looked like a prince out of a fairytale is very interesting considering how much he looks like the Black Swan guys

I'm sad Josephine died. It makes narrative sense but it would’ve been funny if she outlasted everyone else just like in the book

Cathy! There's a lot to say about Cathy but I'm not sure I can be the one to do it. I like her. I'm glad she was fucked up and we got our "everyone sucks here, you're perfect for each other, never involve anyone else in your business" but of course other people are getting involved because this is fucking Wuthering Heights

SPEAKING OF GETTING INVOLVED! NELLY!! I'm sooo glad they gave her the unreliable narrator trait, and managed to put the whole "burning letters" thing in there too. I'm also glad that when she did inevitably betray the team, she stayed exactly the same in personality. It's like she said herself, the happy moments in the past were real. I hope she stops associating with Hermann and goes to do something else with her life. Imagine finding out that in every universe you're wrapped up in Heathcliff and Cathy's bullshit

no Hareton or Catherine II, but Catherine I and Heathcliff did a fine job breaking the cycle themselves, I think.

there's probably more things to say about the Erlking and the Wild Hunt but I'm so tired

[jamisonwritestf2trash]

Your tf2 headcannons make me smile :), how about the mercs going into their favorite game for a day and they have ti survive

Would The TF2 Mercs Survive In Their Favorite Video Game World? (+ Their Favorite Video Games)

————————————————————

Awe! I'm so glad I can make you smile 😭Honestly makes me so happy in general to be able to make stuff people enjoy! For the sake of this to make seance I'm going to pretend that all these games work on real human time and take 24hrs for a day to pass (If the game takes more than one day to beat) or the game to be finished. (If the days passing is unspecified)

Also! Mutual appreciation comment time! Thank you for being a mutual I love your asks and thank you for all the likes 💖

————————————————————

Okay enough of that to the prompt!

————————————————————

TW: BLOOD, GORE, AND MENTIONS OF DEATH!

SPOILERS TOO FOR, OUTLAST, UNDERTALE,

————————————————————

Demo- Borderlands 2

Of course Demo would love a game with mayhem, destruction, and humor. He also loves the fact that (for him at least) the game never gets boring, or dull. He always has fun when ever he loads up the game, so waking up one day in the game was both super exciting, and terrifying. I think he would survive, but then die as soon as the day was almost over, like he's not dying the second he wakes up, he's pretty good at the game after all, but he'd get confident, and then two seconds before the day his over he's shot in the head or something 😭

————————————————————

Engie- Minecraft

I know, I know. It's not a fresh, new, or even controversial take, it's just what everyone assumes, but I wholeheartedly agree Minecraft is his favorite game. He loves the freedom to build, he thinks it super cool he can use things that he would normally not be able to build with. He also loves being able to play with his friends (Pyro and Scout) specifically. He's beat the game at least ten times, and knows the game inside and out. Waking up in the game was suppressing, but to be honest, I think he's had weirder situations happen. He immediately knows what to do, and is on it. After only twenty minutes of being in the game, he's already working on a house, by time the night is actually here he's somehow found diamonds and is working on his nether portal, is so upset to wake up in his bed the next day. He's bitter he couldn't finish the game. Doesn't die, obviously, but did have strong words with a skeleton after receiving an arrow to the back of the head.

————————————————————

Heavy- Animal Crossing New Horizons.

I'm going to say it, this man doesn't really like violent video games. I know, controversial. My thing is, I don't think some of the mercs want to spend all their time killing, and then come back and kill fictional characters. But I could be wrong, but that doesn't matter because Heavy like Animal Crossing. He loves the villagers, loves the mundane tasks, loves how just, relaxing playing the game is. If he woke up on his AC island he'd be so happy. Hugs all the villagers, fishes, catches bugs, talks to Blathers about literally everything he can. This man is just having a great time, and I for one, am happy for him. Doesn't die (Even if he could, he still wouldn't) But did get stung by wasps at least once trying to catch them.

————————————————————

Medic- Outlast (For the sake of the game being finished in the way Outlast is played medic is forced into the same confines Miles is put in)

Are we shocked that this man loves one of the most iconic horror games ever made? Loves how many boundaries it destroyed, how gross some of the parts are, and how bloody other parts can be. Giggles at all the gory scenes. ALSO WHEN SEES THE DOCTOR??? When he wakes up in the world, he's very excited until he remembers how pretty much useless Miles is. He still, remains confident in his survival skills, still goes through the physical issues Miles goes through, and finds that to be rather inconvenient, (Regrets always complaining about how upset Miles seems to get, but he understands now that maybe, just maybe, when you aren't able to heal almost immediately, that losing a finger or two isn't super easy to cope with) but regardless, he does survive, he doesn't die because of a lack of skill or overconfidence, but dies do to the plot advancement, you know?

————————————————————

Scout- Apex Legends

I think in the same vein as Engie, this probably isn't a fresh take, but it still fits. Scout is good at Apex, like really good. I think it's easy to make him a silly little guy, but he's ruthless when he wants or needs to be. This man is an Apex champion more than most people, has more kills than you'd ever think, and is honestly a better teammate in Apex than on the field with the other mercs 😭 He wakes up in Apex world and he's so thrilled, he's ready to put his real-world skills into his favorite game and does pretty well until he's knocked down by an enemy, he hides behind a box and waits for his teammates to come help him, they start moving father away, he moves over to them, they move again, he bleeds out as his two other teammates walk away from him. (Totally never happened to me) then they didn't pick up his banner, so eventually, he just woke up after dying and is so pissed. It did make him a bit kinder when it comes to helping out his teammates, in hopes that he'll never go through that again.

————————————————————

Sniper- Superhot

Way too good at Superhot, it's almost troubling how many hours he's put into the game. You'd swear you could see the enemies shaking anytime they appear on camera. Sniper sometimes uses this as an opportunity to practice dodging, but also just has fun fighting against an enemy. Loves the slo-mo shots he can get. Loves splitting enemies in half with different weapons. Also love the mind control and weird story setup of it all. If he woke up suddenly pixilated, fighting other pixilated entities, he's either freaking out or shrugging it off. Probably the latter, knowing him. He survives well, with only a few close calls, it's a lot easier when your hitbox isn't an entire VR headset after all. Genuinely has fun being put in the Superhot world for a day.

————————————————————

Spy- Hitman

Now, I thought I'd be so clever and come up with original ideas, but I was wrong. I think Spy plays Hitman plays for ideas, how weapons would look, how messy a kill would be, etc. Also loves being able to have very minimal risk when he's "killing" It stresses a guy out when you live life trying not to get caught every day, you know? As much as this man likes this game, he is so pissy when he wakes up in this game. He's basically just living a full 24 hours of his regular day job and is exhausted by the end of it. He does a good job, doesn't get caught, and manages to keep his suit clean. Has never been so received to wake up.

————————————————————

Soldier- Call of Duty Modern Warfare

A man who loves war likes a game about war, who would have guessed? No, but in all honesty, the military aspect is one of his favorite parts of it, he also loves the range of weapons and all the different roles you can play in the game. I'm not going to lie though, if he woke up in the COD world, he'd probably have a breakdown. Like he'd freak thinking everything before this was a fever dream, but he'll eventually figure it out. He would kill at any task he was given, and survive, he'd wake up and immediately feel better because as much as he loves the game, he never wants to go back.

————————————————————

Pyro- Undertale

Pyro loves Undertale so much that it's insane. Has played his game, at least 30 times. Has never, not even once, played the genocide route. They cannot bring themselves to kill a froggit, let alone Papyrus or anyone else. When Pyro wakes up in the Undertale world they are thrilled, jumping up and down, giggling, screaming, you know all that fun. Literally gives Toriel the biggest hug ever. They have the best time of their life. Manages to do a deathless run, somehow, probably because of the insane amount of times they've played through it, but is heartbroken that they wake up after only being able to get through the neutral route.

I'm sorry this took so long! I loved this prompt but I hit a slump, and I've been fighting with myself to get it posted, I'm sorry if it's not great, I hope you like it though 💖

I'll try and be more consistent I promise 🫶🏻

Little outlast 2 rant.

I finish o2 a while ago but I went in knowing nothing but character names. All I saw was the thumbnail for it.

My dumbass looked a papa knoth and thought "oh cool, another religious figure that's gonna be the worst tour guide ever but maybe he'll be a little better than father Martin."

I love plus sized characters by the way. I love all the leatherfaces, mother gooseberry, Chris Walker and nightmare from fnaf. I would happy to add another character to that list. I genuinely thought papa knoth was gonna be some sweet character after I learned his name.

HE HAD PAPA IN HIS NAME AND USUALLY CHARACTERS WHO HAVE PAPA IN THEIR NAME A PRETTY NICE AND SWEET CHARACTERS. he was also plus sized and a common thing with plus sized characters is that they're sweet.

This absolutely motherfucker was that exact OPPOSITE of what I expected him to be. He's sexist, a rapist, con artist, knowingly spreads STDs and blames it on the other person, manipulative, controlling and a pedophile.

The worst part is my brain already decided he was my favorite character from this game and after learning he was the things listed above it's still said "we ain't going back now"

I don't know why I'm like this with fictional characters. I just pick one and even after finding out they're an awful person I subconsciously refuse to let them go. I think it may be my ADHD that need something to cling onto to keep my focused on finishing the game and it unfortunately chose the worst option.

Papa knoth is a guilty pleasure of mine and I fucking hate it.

I'm doing a tag game!

What are your 3 historical gaming moment?

Anything related to videogames: be it achieving the highest score in the arcade, defeating that final boss after 100 tries, winning a PS5 in a raffle, getting a photo or autograph of a VA, cosplaying a videogame character... anything!

Then tag 5 people (minimum) and let's reminisce. Spread some positivity!

🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Here are my 3 personal best (in no particular order)

1.Tekken 3

The first time I truly enjoyed playing a fighting game (I still hate playing PvP in fighting games cuz an actual human is way better at it than me) was when I finally approached a real Tekken pro. A big arcade opened up in my city and I was the only girl who went there every weekend and buy 30 tokens (Php 90.00) to feed the various machines. I saw this tall college dude play King and I was mesmerized watching him pull all of Kings grapples. After several months, I watched him from behind, playing Tekken 3 until I muster up the courage to ask him how he pulled off all his moves. The college dud pulled a piece of paper and pen and began to write down all of Kings' combos and grabs, and gave it to me! Since then I have practiced on every Tekken 3 machine, pulled off all Kings' impressive grapples to a growing audience who couldn't believe their eyes that this little highschool girl is playing Tekken 3 and beating it! Oh and I became good at the games that I reduced my 30 tokens to 5.

2. Resident Evil 2 (PS1)

This game came with the console my mom gave me. First time I popped the disc in and chose Leon S Kennedy on normal mode, I was piled upon by zombies and died. That game over screen traumatized me and I did not pick up RE for months! When I did gave it a second chance, I notice there was a 3rd mode: ARRANGED. It made the game ridiculously easy by giving me all the weapons, and so I plowed through Raccoon City with my machine gun and rocket launcher. It was fun until it wasn't. I decided to play the game on Normal, got eaten and died, then powered through it. Finally beat the game on Normal and Hard. Also went for the S Rank and bonus content. Now I love all horror and survival horror games (Silent Hill, Outlast, Evil Within, etc). It became my favorite genre.

3. The Witcher 3

Had it not for this game, I wouldn't have made The Nilfgaardian Collection or started digital art. I think it was December 2019 (or 16 I dunno, it was Xmas), my brother gave me two choices: TW3 or FF15. I wanted FF15 cuz I have always been a fan of Final Fantasy and TW3 was hyped to the heavens. I wanted to know if the hype was justified and so I got TW3 GOTY edition. The hype... was well deserved! I was hooked, I plat the game, I decided to make fanarts of my fave character (Emhyr) and gave myself a goal: to have the biggest collection of Emhyr and Nilfgaard pics and be known as that crazy chick with an unhealthy obsession to Emhyr and his Nilfgaardian empire. Thus cemented the Nilfgaardian Collection in the fandom!

3, 19 and 28

3. your favorite piece(s)?

The easiest question of these three! It would be this 2 part set I did of Vanquish and Aywin based on Renaissance paintings. The Fallen Angel has always been a favorite of mine so I always had wanted to recapture it on my own!

A close runner up is probably this piece I did while fixating on Spiderverse

19. where do you find inspiration?

Oh a lot of places! But I do think Digimon probably has the biggest style and design inspiration.

I just like the way they design and articulate creatures and clothing. Both so fantastical but they never felt so impractical to me. Somethings a design was just to look cool, yes, but it never felt out of place.

If we're talking more so everyday I spoke, a lot of inspiration comes from music. A lot of my overall story or scene ideas come from listening to music and imagining something going with it. And my music can vary a lot ao there's no way I could narrow it down to just a few genres haha.

Another thing is weirdly enough is types of animated or indie/internet horror, whether it be video games, shows, or films. I'm always fascinated about how different people choose to take what most see as simple slasher films and turn it into such a niche thing. Movies such as Corpse Bride or the Secrwt of NIMH. Series such as Outlast, Fnaf, or point and click indie games like Franbow have shown a lot a different ways to play with horror and gore elements. Theres also analog horror, args, and creepypastas. All of which inspire me. Despite my want for happy endings and colorful palettes, I have a deep fascination on how a character can be scared or hurt and it's fun to play with that.

28. whats a piece you would like to redraw at some point?

Just about anything 2 years old at this point haha. But more real talk, I'll leave it more focused on my digital rt, despite it not being quite as old as a majority of my sketchbooks... it's when I got the most ambitious with full pieces.

It would be one of these two pieces. The one on the left was the first full drawing of Eddie Gluskin from Outlast that I drew, and despite everyone reblogging it at this point I can see all the things I would want to update and show my advancement of skills.

The second was when I was deep in my Biker!Eddie au and while I do still enjoy it, I would love to tackle more profile shots with better detail. And either just do a direct redraw or redraw it as Vanquish.

But woo! These were fun questions! Thank you 😊

[disasterbijupiter]

So... months and months ago, I got addicted to this Hunger Games simulator

And I made all the G characters fight to the death because, y'know, as one does 😈🥰👊❤️‍🩹

I finally decided I should share it...

@spacedustpan relevant to discussion of Chibodee's luck lolol)

Here are the districts/teams I first went with:

(Yeah, yeah, I know... District 1 & 2, probs controversial... BUT the tag-team though 🥺! And also who would Schwarz be with other than Rain or Domon?? ... As for Bunny and Raymond? Eh, I just ran out of even numbers, I'm sorry 😆)

A'ight, first, here's the full results of a few runs kshdjjsjs:

Okay, time for listing my fucking favorite things.... *rubs hands together*

... Domon wins the first game. Predictable.

And Rain kills Allenby in cold blood by kicking her into a fire!?!? Rain, nooooOOOO 🤣😭

Next game, we have:

The one where Bunny is a serial killer who kills Wong brutally and wins xD....

Yeah, she wins with almost as many kills as Domon in the first game (4 vs 6)

DAMN, Bunny...

Then we have... Schwarz as winner, but he only got 2 kills?!? He just outlasted everyone else.

REAL, honestly lol.

Also, one of those kills was only in order to protect someone (Andrew Graham. Make of this what you will lmaoo).

Okay, and then last BUT NOT LEAST....

We have the fact that 👏every single time👏, three times in a row, Chibodee fucking Crocket dies in the opening scene due to a stupid reason kshdjskjsjs 😭🤣

Um... VERY tragically funny and real. Please behold:

Anyways, that is all for now.

Have a good day, at least better than Chibodee xD

[madara-fate]

what is your favorite Naruto arc, your least favorite arc and why?

Favourite Arc - This may or may not actually be my favourite arc because that is a little too difficult for me to answer. However, the first one that always comes to my head is the Sasuke Retrieval arc, from chapters 172-238. It's almost as if when Sasuke said "now it begins...", Kishi was also talking though him to his audience, saying how now the story really begins.

I really like this arc for a few reasons:

It was essentially the last time that both Naruto and Sasuke were depicted as still being on the same level as their peers. After this, they’d completely leave them in the dust.

Every character involved had their own time to shine or moment in the spotlight in one way or another - Chouji, Neji, Kiba and Shikamaru had their spotlight when they fought Jirobo, Kidomaru, Sakon/Ukon and Tayuya respectively, Lee shined with his Drunken Fist against Kimimaro, The Sand siblings got their spotlight when they saved their respective targets and defeated their opponents (although Gaara outlasted Kimimaro rather than actually defeated him).

There was literally never a dull moment - from the moment Sasuke met up with the Sound 4, to the moment he continued to Orochimaru’s hideout after defeating Naruto; I was always hooked.

I also really liked the fact that the main character actually legitimately lost to his rival; that doesn’t happen too often in mainstream battle shounens, so it was very refreshing to witness Sasuke’s victory:

Plus, it was this Arc that set up what was essentially the main overarching theme of Part 2 - Saving Sasuke from the darkness. So there was also a great deal of significance to this arc.

Least Favourite Arc - Probably the Tenchi Bridge Reconnaissance arc, from chapters 282-310. 4 Tailed Naruto vs Orochimaru was really cool, and Team 7's reunion with Sasuke at Orochimaru's hideout was also really interesting, but those were the only real highlights in an otherwise rather uneventful arc overall in my opinion.

I thought I'd redo my intro post and this time make it ✨pretty✨

I'm Cat [she/her | aroace] and I write sci-fi and fantasy with a dose of cosmic horror. I love mixing genres and general experimentation. Whether my work is marketable or not is less important than having fun. My absolute favorite things are found family, robots, and time travel, and I am a firm believer that platonic relationships can be just as fierce and important as romantic ones. Most of my novels are set within a shared universe I call the Starfish Saga and that's my main focus, though I do have quite a few exciting projects outside that.

I am quite shy but love making new writer friends and am open to tag games and ask games and other sorts of writerly socialization.

I have...a lot of projects. A worrying amount I try not to think about. But! Below the cut, you'll find the ones I'm focusing on for the time being, now with new and improved titles.

They're all OCS and very near and dear to my heart. I know it's a lot of them, but please...PLEASE if you can show them some love.

A LITTLE ABOUT YOURSELF:

So I've been around for a while. I was around in 2014 or 2015 during the other group and when Isola came to be back in 2018, I followed. A friend of mine actually was the one to introduce me back in 2014 to the group and I liked it. Before then, I was rping on Skype, Myspace, and some others I forgot. I also used to RP in real life with said friend as well. Damn, so I've been LARPING since grade school and then started writing them out in middle school. Anyway, I'm always looking to better my writing skills and grammar. You'll see me sometime in the Discord group chat asking questions ^^;.

I love making OCs, whether it's on my own or making an OC with other people! I've been blessed to make OCs with so many here and I hope to continue making more. Thanks, Lethe, Lumine, and Jan! You guys rock <3

(Just waiting for more slots //fricker emoji)

I like anime, though I've been watching more Kdramas and just YouTube and shit. Thanks to my partner who's been watching Kdrama with me, I get to introduce all kinds of flavors so I hope she likes it 👀. If we're Discord buddies, you may catch me playing SIMS a lot and while I play SIMS quite a bit, I am also interested in other games such as:

Final Fantasies (I haven't played them all but I have some favorites), Left Four Dead, Beyond Two Souls or any games that are similar to that, Life Is Strange, The Last of Us, and much more. I can play spooky games like Outlast 1 & 2 but I get easily spooked and am a Whimp. might be fun to watch me play these gamers cuz you'll laugh I guess. Resident Evils are good too.......I need to play the game that my partner got me. Whoops. So many games to play and only currently one on my mind. Sims 4.

Okay, I think I did good? I think that's it? ANYWAY, you can catch me on Discord. You can ask for it or IM me on one of my blogs listed above. I tend to blog hop a lot so I may come across it :D

OH and please look at my entire world!

LULU THE BELOVED!
