#my game of portal hill was SO fun

[almightyandroid]

I’ve discovered the wonderful world of solo ttrpgs and I’ve been obsessed. I’ve played two sessions of 1000 year old vampire, one session of the house on portal hill, and im currently playing a moment in thyme. they’re helping me get more creative again and getting me out of my creative funk! im a big fan of the journal focused games.

I have bought one dice set and two sets of bicycle cards, fyrebird and sea king. I am currently OBSESSED with standard playing cards right now like it’s not even funny. I needy to buy MORE. they’re such fun stim toys and they feel super nice.

tomorrow I will be on the quest for one of those deck holders that hold decks and also have a compartment for dice sets. once im done with this journal I will be buying a fancier one so write down all of my games :)c I also want to buy another separate journal to play the extended journal version of 1000 year old vampire. dude its so FUN. y’all need to get into this.

Hi! I hope you’re doing good in life! So it’s spooky season so I have an ask related to that. I don’t know if you play horror video games, watch horror movies/shows, or read horror books, but if you do, I have to ask: What is the most disturbing book, or video game or show/movie that you’ve played/watched/read? In my opinion, there is two types of horror: the ones that scare you, and the ones that traumatize you. If you can think of any book, movie, or game that really kind of fucked you up, I’m curious to know if you feel like answering. I hope you have a good day and a good life.

Hey, I’m doing good and I hope you are too!

the answer ended up being really long lol

Woof, this is honestly a pretty hard question, since I can't really name any horror (or otherwise) media that actually left me kind of fucked up for a bit, at least not to the degree where it affected me for a while. I probably haven't been really fucked up by anything since I was a kid, so I'll try and recall what a few things fucked me up back then...

Off the top of my head I know that two different spongebob episodes got me bad, the first being one with that tunnel of love thing (tho tbh i havent seen it in a while so it might still spook me today) and the one where i'm pretty sure for whatever reason squidward gets locked in some small locker and has some kind of fucked up dream, whatever that was. I remember there was an eagle in that one. the eagle terrified me. (i looked them up, and the first episode is titled 'tunnel of glove' and the second is 'squidward in clarinetland'. with how badly that second one got to me, i'm surprised i ended up learning to play the clarinet at all)

other than that, i think the courage the cowardly dog episode 'the house of discontent' got me pretty bad, too, but i think everyone who saw any amount of that series as a kid has at least one episode that got them fucked up.

there's probably a handful of scooby-doo stuff that got to me when i was a kid, but i could not name any specifics (asides from charlie the robot's original episode, christ) because i think i managed to see just about every bit of available scooby media around that time.

nowadays stuff still does kinda fuck me up, but it's usually only for brief bits of time. the most recent example I can think of is cowboy bebop's 20's episode, pierrot le fou, which is honestly some great horror, especially how it uses the show's typical format and flips it on it's head, but i wouldn't necessarily say it got to me because of it being scary, more because of the way the ending disturbed me for a bit. it was the only episode that had me stop afterwards and really look into it for anything other than clarifying a character's gender, lol.

the endings of both neon genesis evangelion and end of evangelion had me shaken, the latter more so than the former, but not really due to horror aspects, though. i did have to take a walk after finishing end of evangelion. i don't really watch horror movies, i just... read the wikipedia plot descriptions of them.

honestly, i think some of the more popular youtube analogue horror series have gotten to me worse (likely due to the fact that they can get a bit more fucked up than, say, a tv show or movie), specifically the walten files (which i did watch) and the mandela catalogue (which i just watched wendigoon's vids on), and those two and mostly because facial distortion is generally just an incredibly effective form of horror imo. a lot of the time (esp with the childhood examples) the way i was 'fucked up' was that id be in be visualizing the stuff that scared me, and both the mandela catalogue and the walten files had me doing that for a bit.

now that i remember it, i was really scared of fnaf when it first came out. i first learned of it second-hand from seeing some other kids looking into it, and the bits and pieces i put together about it really scared me.

honestly, it's usually straight-up disturbing sequences or imagery that gets to me the most, and i know my limits well enough to generally identify and avoid that stuff, which is probably why i don't have too many recent examples. i've got one or two examples of non-horror movies that fucked me up as a kid, but that's mostly because they were wildly inappropriate for someone of my age (at the time) to be witnessing, so that's a different sort of topic.

i mean, i think i generally have a decent tolerance for fucked up stuff in media, anyways, i mean, i enjoy berserk and haven't really been too upset or disturbed by what happens in it (look theres some nasty shit in there im not saying its not that bad) so there's definitionally some kind of line that media needs to cross to really get to me nowadays, or it just needs to be a specific kind of fucked up. books generally don't do that for me so i don't have any book examples. no games, either, though shadow mario and the haunted house segments in super mario 3d world scared me so much that i had to make my mom do the levels for me, and i'm pretty sure scooby doo: first frights scared me a bit when i first played it on ds.

other than that, though, I just think that, in pokemon x, the story that an npc tells you during your first trip to route 14 and then the strange office building encounter with the animation-less hex maniac creeped me out pretty bad.

yeah, it's kind of hard for me to think of anything (recent) that actually really fucked me up or anything. most stuff just scared me, never really fucked me up or figuratively traumatized me in recent years.

ouahhhh 😭

wait a second. hand on wall. on floor.

So unless you're having this read to you from the bad side of a Ouija board, you made it out the other end of issue seven's historically-speaking-pretty-short seven year delay alive. Which isn't too bad. And, honestly, we can think of another, much more popular project we're involved with that you're STILL waiting on: The Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, which began construction in 1886 and still isn't done, and which the Spanish government hired us to write a delay-themed blog post about after seeing an early draft of the blog post you're reading right now.

several weeks late b/c i had no idea it existed....i Didn't suppose i'd make it out of the then-indefinite now 7-yr-delay on the next tf2 comic alive which isn't too bad 😭

[in1-nutshell]

And hey continuation of The last ask of old predacon buddy how would the decepticons react to Old Predacon buddy revert back into their younger form like out on the battlefield most of them would most likely be terrified (more specifically Megatron because he had to fight old Predacon buddy back then a long time ago)

Megatron is not going to have a fun time when he finds out.

Hope you enjoy!

Bot Buddy the Old Predacon turns to their younger self fights the Con's

SFW, Platonic, Cybertronain reader

The Autobot had been ambushed by the Decepticon’s.

They were being swarmed from every angle.

Buddy was becoming more and more restless hearing the sounds of battle through the console as Ratchet turned on the groundbrigde and went in to help.

“Ratchet let me help! We both know I can fight!”--Buddy

��This isn’t a game, Buddy. We can’t have Megatron know that you’re here like this.”--Ratchet

“And what about the others?”--Buddy

“If something does happen then come. But only as a last resort, do you understand?”--Ratchet

“…Fine.”--Buddy

The kids did their best to keep the Predacon calm while they kept on swishing their tail around in irritating fashion.

They were doing a good job keeping things under control despite everything.

“Don’t worry Buddy. They’ll be back before you know it!”--Raf

“Such faith you have Rafael. And such patience.”—Buddy

“It doesn’t look too good, but usually the bots have it covered.”--Jack

“They’ll be okay. The team’s been ambushed plenty of times. They always—”--Miko

“BBBBBBBEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPP! (OPTIMUS NNNOOOOO!)”--Bumblebee

“AAARRRGGGGHHHH!”--Optimus

“…”—the kids and Buddy

“…Rafael. Ready the groundbrigde.”—Buddy

Buddy slowly walks to the groundbrigde as Raf activates it.

They go through the portal.

Both sides saw a bridge open on the hill above them.

The bots optics widen knowing who it was.

Optimus was holding on to his wound on his side with Megatron in front of him.

Megatron also looked at the portal curiously.

What did the Autobots have up their…

Oh…

The giant predacon walked out of the portal and scanned the area.

Megatron actually stepped back seeing the site of the young Buddy.

It was almost like seeing Buddy when he first started out as a gladiator.

Soundwave was already planning several portals to help with the evacuation.

Buddy finally set their optics on Megatron and Optimus.

“MEGATRON!”--Buddy

“Is that—”--Megatron

“GET OFF OF PRIME!”--Buddy

Megatron narrows his optics at the Predacon.

“Megatron obeys NO ONE!”--Megatron

Megatron kicked Prime’s wound harshly.

The audial piercing scream that came out of Buddy’s throat made everyone try and cover them up.

It was too fast for anyone to comprehend.

Buddy had flown straight down and tackled Megatron off of Prime and proceeded to beat the ever-loving daylights out of him.

Megatron did put up a fight.

But the fight was already set the moment Megatron kicked Prime in his wound.

Buddy held no remorse for this mech.

This was no longer the Megatronus they knew from their days as gladiators.

This monster.

This Megatron.

Was the enemy.

They were close to offlining him, but Soundwave had tackled them to the ground.

Soundwave quickly sent out the groundbrigdes for the troops and Megatron could escape.

Buddy did manage to tail whip him before he went to the portal.

Buddy huffing as they carefully walk back to their team.

Ratchet is trying to patch up Prime’s wounds.

Buddy kneels down.

“Anyone who can’t walk, get on my back.”--Buddy

Buddy stayed by the injured bots side the entire time.

They absolutely refused to get treated until everyone was treated.

They absolutely did not leave Optimus’s side through the entire way, even afterwards.

“Has anyone seen Optimus?”--Jack

“No, not today.”--Arcee

“I saw him earlier with Buddy.”--Smokescreen

“Found them.”--Ratchet

Buddy has their wings and limbs around Optimus effectively trapping him to the med slab.

“You are not walking till I say so.”--Buddy

“Buddy—”--Optimus

Buddy moves their wing in front of Prime’s face.

“Sleep Pax. I’m going after Bumblebee and Ratchet next.”--Buddy

Linked Universe x reader

Warnings: Mentions of traumatic pasts, fluff, angst, mental health

₊˚✩⊹

“You and I both know I’d make such a sexy Link,” you said, “Green is my color, you said so yourself!” 

Wars groaned “Of course you remember that of all the things I’ve said.”

You turned to Four and Legend, who were walking a few feet behind you two, loudly whispering “I think he’s too embarrassed to admit I look better in green than him.” 

Both of them nodded exaggeratingly. Wars just groaned. You cackled loudly. Both of you knew it was all fun and games, needing some humor to lighten up the journeys you've been through.

Keeping up with him, you looked out onto the expanse of Hyrule, slowly transitioning from green grassy fields to dry, sandy earth. You almost didn’t notice it by how slow it was, but you felt a shift in the wind. You looked at the others, seeing if they also picked it up, but you seemed to be the only one. The air felt heavy and threatening, like a predator was hunting you. Watching you.

“Stop.” you say, mostly to yourself, but the others hear you as well. 

Hyrule jogs back to you, “What’s going on? You ok?” you concentrate on a blade of grass, putting your finger up to your lips to listen. The air is thick with tension, you could probably cut it with the Master Sword.

“Portal’s opened up.” you say, looking past Hyrule to the group, eyeing Time to try and read his face. He looks at you for a moment, an emotion that you can’t read written across his face, but he seems to snap out of it. He nods.

You pull out your phone, still the same battery percentage as when you first landed in Hyrule, the charge not depleting despite the fact you’ve been using it continuously. Flipping to your homescreen, you start walking forward, the group following behind you. You took out your phone to detect which direction the portal is located. The screen gets all fuzzy and distorted when it gets close to the portal, so it acts as a compass in a way.

You only needed to use this tactic when the portal didn’t popup in your line of sight, which seemed like the case right now. 

“Careful sunshine, there’s usually monsters near portals.” Wars mumbled, his hands firmly gripping the hilt of his sword, knuckles going white from how hard he was holding it. Pointing it towards the hill in front of you, your phone finally starts distorting, the response you were looking for. You slip your phone into your pack, pointing toward the hill wordlessly.

Reaching the peak of the hill, you see the purple and black colored portal in the sandy expanse of Gerudo Valley. The group resumes walking toward it, but you hesitate. Time and Wars turn back around to look at you, noticing your hesitation. They can see the internal battle happening behind your eyes.

“I’m so fucking close, Time. It’s literally a day or two walk away for us. I-fuck I can’t do this.” you say, eyes starting to sting. 

The others stay put while Time makes his way to you, slow, careful steps. Kneeling slightly in front of you, he sighs.

“I’m sorry, Y/n. Truly, I am. I wish there was some way I could help, but I can’t. We have to go through the portal, but I promise you, whichever Hyrule we land in, we’ll keep searching for you.” he says, a stern look on his face. His words do little to ease your anxieties, but you know that there’s, objectively, nothing you can do. With a nod, both of you walk through the portal, the rest of the group following close behind.

~

You hear voices around you before you can open your eyes. Sensing the voices didn’t hold any worry or danger, you relaxed for a few more seconds before you inevitably had to get up.

“We’re here, Y/n.” Four says, brushing the hair out of your face, no doubt getting tangled through the shifting of realities. You’d have to deal with it later.

You groan, every inch of your body sore. You look at Four, “Any idea of who’s Hyrule we’re in?”

Four ponders before answering, “Well, it’s definitely not mine, but Time says it might be his, but is unsure because we’re in the middle of a field right now. Probably Hyrule Field if I had to guess.”

Time addresses the group, adjusting his gauntlets “I’m suspecting we’re in my Hyrule, based on the terrain and layout. If we head North, I have an old friend we can lodge with for a few days.”

“Malon?” you ask.

“...Yes. She took over the ranch a few years ago, so there shouldn’t be any issues with beds or room.” he answers, partially forgetting that you knew almost every Hyrule and its people. It should have worried him, but he was glad you were excited to explore Hyrule regardless of your seemingly endless knowledge of it.

While walking on the dirt path, you, Wind, and Hyrule talk about the different Hyrules, mentioning how despite being the same land with minor shifts of architecture and layout, it still felt starkly different.

“I’m still so confused on how your land is mapped out, Y/n. You’re saying you have… cities? As in Castle Town, right?” Hyrule asked, raising an eyebrow.

“Well, I guess yeah. But way bigger and taller. Think Castle Town but like 100 times the size.” you say.

Hyrule’s mouth drops open.

“Holy goddesses, that’s huge! How do you not get lost? I got lost in Wars’ Castle Town for at least two hours last time we were there, and it was a nightmare figuring out how to get back to the inn.”

You chuckled, remembering the frantic Hyrule entering the inn, hours after he was meant to return.

“It’s harder if it’s a new city I’ve never been to. I used to live in the city when I went to school, so I had to walk in it everyday. I eventually memorized and knew how to get around. If you guys ever land there, I’ll show you around.” you said, looking outward onto the path in front of you.

You can see the ranch in the distance, a small stream of smoke coming out from the chimney.

“Seems like she’s home, Old man.” Wars said, gesturing at the house. Time nodded in response.

“For the love of goddesses, please behave. I’m lucky enough as it is that she lets me bring you lot here.” Time says, groaning slightly.

“Aye aye, captain!” Wind shouts, earning another groan from him. You smiled at Wind, him shooting you a toothy grin. 

~

“It’s about time you boys came around! Come in, come in! You must be hungry and exhausted.” Malon exclaims, ushering you in. “And Y/n! So glad to see you again, it's been what, 5 months now?” 

“Wow, its been that long Mal? Damn, time does really have a way with catching up to you. How have you been?” you ask, leaning against the kitchen counter. 

“Ah, y’know, same old thing every day. Link’s been keepin’ ya on your toes, huh?” she teases, nodding his head at him, “Fairy boy can’t sit still, can he?” she muses. 

Looking back at Time, you see him standing awkwardly. You chuckle, “He does, but he takes care of us. He’s good to us, all of us.” You smile at him, him sending you a small smile in thanks, refocusing on something the group was talking about. 

Now that you’re focused on him, you realize you and him didn’t discuss what that kiss was a few nights ago. It’s been nagging you, gnawing at your brain. You needed to talk with him, but… you were nervous. You’re experiencing the beginnings of a school girl crush again, a feeling you didn’t think you’d feel again after…. them. You were scared shitless. 

You’d talk to him. Tonight.

Bad Sanses Adventures

A Bit Of Yoga To Relax And Break Your Spine

Masterlist

They were currently walking up a hill in another peaceful AU. Today, Nightmare had chosen the activity, and everyone was excited until they reached the top and saw what it was.

Cross - ���Night, you do know that we’re going to break our spines, right?”

Nightmare - “That’s the point.”

Chara chuckled as Cross looked at Nightmare in surprise. They each positioned themselves on a yoga mat, now they weren't as excited as before.

Nightmare - “Alright, let’s start.”

Everyone was waiting for Nightmare to demonstrate how to do it, but instead, he went and sat down on a bench.

Killer - “Wait, wait! You aren’t doing it!”

Nightmare - “Nope, I’ll be directing all of you. The one who has the most incorrect poses will have to do whatever the winner says for one day. Also, you only have three chances.”

Cross & Killer - “What?!”

Nightmare - *smirks* “So do your best.”

Nightmare started the “game.” At first, everyone was doing relatively well, but then Nightmare purposely began to choose more difficult poses.

Killer - *in a back U shape, struggling* “N-Nightmare, hurry up!”

Nightmare - *smirking* “Wait, I need to remember what comes next.”

Dust - *about to fall down* “Nightmare, I swear my next prank victim is going to be you!”

Nightmare - “Tell me to hurry once more, and I’ll leave all of you like that.”

They immediately fell silent until Nightmare decided to continue.

Cross - *about to fall* “Help!”

Horror was the first to fall, taking Cross down with him.

Horror - *on the floor* “Sorry.”

Cross - *next to him* “Nah, I was going to fall either way.”

Nightmare - “Horror and Cross are down one. Let’s continue.”

As time passed, all of them fell down. Nightmare was having the time of his life; he truly felt happy. Causing for someone to noticed that happiness which prompted to them investigating.

Blue - *whispering* “Dream, are you sure you felt Nightmare having positive feelings here?”

Dream - *whispering* “Yes, how could I ever forget this sensation?”

Ink - *whispering* “It’s surprising to know that Nightmare can have fun with something other than just destroying AUs.”

They arrived in the AU where Dream sensed Nightmare was, and once there, they immediately hid behind some tall flora. They looked and saw quite a strange sight.

Killer, Dust, Horror, and Cross were upside down, their legs in all sorts of awkward positions.

Nightmare - “All of you are doing it wrong; your legs are supposed to form a Z.”

Dust - *struggling, almost falling* “What!? How the hell do you do that?”

Nightmare - *smiling* “I don’t know, but if humans can do it, so can you guys.”

Killer - *struggling* “L-Let’s make sure that Nightmare never sees the internet again!”

Nightmare laughed and continued. Dream couldn’t believe his eyes; he had never seen that kind of smile on his brother’s face.

Blue - “Well, at least they’re not destroying the AU.”

Ink - “We should still keep an eye on them.”

Horror and Killer ended up losing. However, the truth is that, once Horror saw Killer fall, he decided to fall down too.

Killer - *still lying down* “Honestly, I knew this would happen, but I also thought Dust would lose too.”

Dust - *offended* “Hey!”

Nightmare - “Well, that’s it! Now, Horror will have to do whatever Dust says, and Killer will have to do whatever Cross says.”

Killer - “Thank goodness.”

Cross - *smiling menacingly* “Maybe you shouldn’t be too happy.”

Killer - *shivering, a little scared* “W-what?”

Cross laughed, making Killer relax as he elbowed him. Horror wasn’t worried; the worst thing Dust could do to him was make him his sleeping cuddle buddy, but it wasn’t that he hated it—he just knew that Dust could sleep a whole week, and that was the problem.

Blue tried not to laugh; they all had fun watching Nightmare tease his gang members.

Dream - *happy* “Well, I guess that’s it. Let’s go.”

Ink and Blue nodded, both smiling. Dream opened a portal, and they all entered. Nightmare quickly turned around but saw nothing.

Killer - “Night, what’s wrong?”

Nightmare - “I felt Dream’s aura.”

Killer - “Maybe it’s just your imagination. Well, it doesn’t matter; we’re not doing anything, so they shouldn’t have a reason to fight us.”

Nightmare - “You’re right. Let’s all go back now.”

Cross - “Let’s never allow Night to choose an activity ever again.”

Horror, Dust, & Killer: “Agreed.”

Nightmare - “Heh, my activities aren't that bad.”

After they returned home, Horror spent the whole day being Dust's cuddle buddy, while Killer spent his time watching anime and other TV shows with Cross, who had become interested after seeing Killer watch anime once. Meanwhile, Nightmare enjoyed a peaceful and quiet time at the library, free from any distractions.

I really love the Sonic movies and their whole found family dynamic❤️❤️❤️❤️ I've seen some great headcanons about them, and I wanted to make some of my own!

Wachowski Family Headcanons: ✨Movie Night✨

Movie night has always been a tradition at the Wachowski house. Tom and Maddie did it, and once they got Sonic it became an even more special time. Now Sonic is super excited to share all his favorite movies with his two new bros.

They have to buy a new TV since Knuckles punched Sonic through their old one when they first met. The whole family goes to the nearest bigger city since Green Hills is too small to have a good electronics store.

Knuckles has no knowledge or interest in technology so Maddie takes him window shopping at the nearby stores

Tails is so excited when they step into Best Buy. He's never seen this much tech in one place! Tom has to remind him not to take anything apart before they buy it.

Sonic immediately runs off to look at all the new video games

The salesman keeps trying to sell Tom the more expensive and "fancier" TVs. Tails is able to see through all the fancy talk, points out the actual specs, and calculates what will give them the best bang for their buck. Tom has no idea what he's talking about but buys the one Tails points to.

They finally get it home and set up. Knuckles is still confused as to what exactly a "TV" even is. It shows things that aren't really there? Is it like a some sort of window? A portal? Tails's in-depth technological explanation does not help. Sonic finally explains it as a "magic wall mural" and he's relatively satisfied.

Time to pick a movie! Sonic wants to watch "Speed" or one of the "Fast and Furious" movies for the millionth time. Knuckles wants to watch an action movie once he hears there's fighting in them. Tom and Maddie are a little worried those might be too much for Tails. Everyone agrees to watch one of the Disney movies Maddie picked up.

They pick Lilo and Stitch (partly because of the ironic parallels of adopting a funny little blue alien with a fear of water, and just getting back from Hawaii after Rachel's wedding)

Everyone curls up on the couch or on blankets on the floor. Even Ozzie comes to join in the fun. Tails and Sonic use him as a pillow.

Maddie brings in some fresh-popped popcorn (and grapes for Knuckles). Tails is a little skeptical of the new snack, but one bite of the buttery goodness and he's obsessed. He and Sonic keep stuffing handfuls in their mouths and throwing kernels at each other. Soon both the couch and the floor is covered. Knuckles tries a few bites. He says it's okay, but swears it's better with grapes.

All the boys love the movie and think it's hilarious, although some of it goes over Tails's and Knuckles's heads due to their limited understanding of Earth culture.

Sonic finds the scene where Stitch almost drowns a little triggering, although he doesn't say anything.

Knuckles's favorite character is Cobra Bubbles. Sonic's is of course Stitch. Tails relates a worrying amount to Jumba the mad scientist.

Tom and Maddie were prepared for Tails to get scared or emotional over the movie, after all, he's still really young. He ends up being fine and really enjoys it, although he points out all the inaccuracies with the spaceships and technology.

But none of them were expecting Knuckles to start choking up at Stitch's "This is my family. I found it all on my own. It's little, and broken, but still good. Yeah, still good." speech. He denies crying and claims he was only sniffing because he got popcorn butter on his nose.

After the movie, everyone stays cozied up in their blankets for a while talking and eating more popcorn. Tails falls asleep and Tom and Maddie decide it's time for bed. They carry Tails up to the boys' shared room in the attic, but Sonic and Knuckles insist on climbing up themselves even though they're both so sleepy they can barely walk.

Sonic falls asleep the moment he hits the bed. Tom puts Tails in bed, and he and Maddie tuck all the boys in. Knuckles actually allows himself to be tucked in for the first time since they got there. Maddie even gives him a little kiss on the forehead. She swears she hears him mumble something about "Ohana means family" before they go downstairs and no she's not crying why would you ask

Thus marks the end of another wonderful Wachowski Family Movie Night!

Alrighty there you go! Thanks for reading!

Growing up with his brothers was the easy part, until God summoned him and his older brother Michael to guard over the portal between realms. Slowly, Lucifer begins to see how frightful Heaven really was. Sought out to defend the sinners of Hell, tragedy strikes among the Archangels. But a familiar face makes Lucifer think that maybe defending his opinion wasn't the worst idea he could've had. Does this familiar face bring him peace? Or does Lucifer end up getting stuck in another twisting cycle of lies and betrayals?

Chapter Five (3.5k)

To Lucifer, this day could be classified as one of his most favourite days to have happened. Yes, he did have a few scars, and at one point he wanted nothing more than to go home, but that was all before he ran into Alastor. 

Playing around in Hell wasn’t something he had ever thought of before. He used to play games with his brothers Michael and Gabriel, but this was different. An innocence that oddly, both of them carried. A pure laugh and a tumble down a hill, yet neither of them complained. 

Lucifer stared up at the pentagram that lingered in the sky, mindless that his clothes had gotten dirty. In fact, he didn’t care at this point. Dull clouds lingered in the red and orange sky. Colours that Lucifer never thought would be the skies of Hell. 

“Wait, so… You’re telling me that this place is Wrath? Your dad’s place?” Lucifer asked, looking over at the boy next to him. Alastor laid there, staring up at the sky as well. His ears perked happily as he smiled blankly at the sky. 

“Yeah. It’s the Wrath Ring. Hell has a few others but my dad says that I’m not old enough to learn about them, fully at least.” He explained. 

“Is the sky red there too? In other places?” Lucifer asked. 

“I don’t know…” Alastor muttered, raising his hand up to the sky. His arms coloured black like the ends of his hair, but his fingers red. At first, Lucifer thought it was weird, but the more he hung out with Alastor, the more he grew accustomed to him. It was just what he looked like, just who he was. 

Lucifer looked back up at the sky. 

“What does Heaven look like?” Alastor asked, rolling over onto his side. He faced Lucifer, a curious expression on his face. 

“Oh, it’s white.” He said, before giggling. “It’s white and blue and gold.” He looked at the deer next to him. “That’s all.”

“Really…?” Alastor asked, his ears beginning to flatten. “That’s disappointing.” 

“It’s not really!” Lucifer sat up. “It’s really pretty! Like,” He jumped up, spreading his arms out as he spoke. “There’s these really smooth golden streets and like, whitey purple houses!” He began, spinning around as he tried to imitate St. Peter. Alastor giggled, sitting up as he crossed his legs. 

“And like, the winners are able to take any form that they want to, which is kinda cool, and the world is all gold and purples and pinks!! Oh!” Lucifer looked at Alastor. “And oranges too!!! And the sky colours change as the day goes on like on Earth!! Which means we get like a blue sky during the day! A black sky during nighttime! And oranges and pinks when the sun is going to sleep!” Lucifer explained. 

“You really like Heaven then..” Alastor spoke, a smile on his face. Lucifer giggled. 

“I guess so! Though, it can be boring… Especially since all the other kids our age avoid me and my brother..” He pouted, sitting back down, across from Alastor. 

“Why…?” Alastor asked, tilting his head to the side, his ears following suite. 

“Well, you see, since Michael and I are the kids of God, so the big man Aunt Sera calls him, other kids avoid us because they think we’re some kind of royalty… I mean, they’re not entirely wrong, Aunt Sera calls us princes, but like… I wanna play around and have fun with the other kids too without them thinking I’m important.” He explained. “I don’t know if you can understand.”

“I do..” Alastor said. “In my own way. Hell is somewhat similar.” Alastor placed his hands in his lap. 

“Yeah? Can you tell me about it?” Lucifer asked, sitting up, excited to learn more about this underworld. 

“Well… We have the rulers of each ring. And they’re like… Top of the top. Then we have overlords, who are people in power, but not as powerful as the ring rulers.” Alastor began, trying to think how it could connect. 

“And I’m the son of the ruler of Wrath, so… Since my dad is top of the top, I’m sort of… Feared.”

“Feared?” Lucifer frowned. “You’re not that scary…” 

“Oh..” Alastor paused, looking at Lucifer. “But I scared you, didn’t I?” 

Lucifer hesitated for a moment. The other day, yes, Alastor scared him. He was a bit frightening, and it made Lucifer’s hair stand up. He didn’t want to feel like that again. Maybe, Alastor was a little scary. 

“Okay, so you are a BIT scary, but not like… Scary scary.” He said, a smile appearing on his face again. 

“Scary scary? And what do you define as scary scary?” Alastor asked. 

“Lucifer Morningstar!!” 

Boy boys jumped at the loud shout. Alastor’s ears laid flat against his head as Lucifer cowered for a second. He knew that voice. He knew who it was. He swallowed hard, looking at Alastor before he stood from his spot. 

Turning around, he saw Aunt Sera. An expression on her face that he had never seen before. Her eyes were wide, her face had gone pale as she gripped onto his jacket that was long forgotten in his mind. 

She rushed over to him, taking his hand as she examined his body. 

“How could you do this? I told you to stay close to me! Why don’t you ever listen??” She gently grabbed his cheeks looking at him in his blue eyes. “You could’ve gotten hurt.” He frowned more, his usual bubbly personality gone in a flash. 

“I’m sorry Aunt Sera.” 

She scoffed, looking at the boy who sat on the grass, deer-like ears flat against his head as a small disgust lingered on his face. 

“Did you take him? Taunt him with your… Sins?” She spoke, distasteful in her words. She stared at him like he was a disease. 

“Aunt Sera-,” Lucifer gently pulled on her arm. 

“Hush Lucifer,” She held her hand up to the boy as she approached the demon child. “You hear my words, heathen. Stay away from him. He isn’t to be dealing with the hands of a demon like yours. You are repulsive, disgraceful and down right sickening.” She raised her hand, and before Lucifer could stop her, she slapped the boy across the face. Alastor fell back, the smallest whimper from him as he glared up at Sera. 

“Know your own filth.” She spat, before grabbing onto Lucifer’s arm. “We’re leaving.”

“But Aunt Sera-!” He shouted, trying to pull his arm away from her. He glanced back at Alastor, as he sat up, rubbing his cheek. 

“You are not to interfere with their kind,” She spoke, a portal to Heaven appearing in front of them. “Do you understand me?” 

“Sera, you hurt him-!” Lucifer tugged at her arm. 

“Lucifer,” he gripped his arm, forcing him to look up at her. “Do you understand me?” She spoke, her words firm. 

Lucifer swallowed hard, an angry pout on his face. 

“Yes.” He muttered. 

“Very well.” She stepped through the portal, bringing Lucifer with her. 

~~~~

Heaven was bright, and beautiful against the dark and scary world that Lucifer was just in. A world that he was beginning to prefer. He walked alongside Sera, both of them not speaking a single word to each other as they headed to the front of St. Peter’s house. 

“Lucifer..” She began, a heavy sigh coming from her lips. “Do you know how much danger you had put yourself in…?” She asked, looking down at him. He didn’t bother to look up at her, his eyes staring down at the golden floor, his arm limp in her grasp. 

“Lucifer…” She let go of him, kneeling down as she gently gripped his shoulders. “Hell is not a place for a young boy like you to wander off in.” He rubbed his cheek. “You could have gotten hurt…” 

“But I was fine.” Lucifer muttered. “I didn’t get hurt.” Sera listened to him, sadness weeped from his words as his blue eyes failed to meet her brown ones. 

“Lucifer, you are a very important boy. Even if you didn’t get hurt, the chances that you could have still outweigh the chances you didn’t. You shouldn’t put yourself in harm's way. I shouldn’t have brought you there in the first place, and I’m sorry.”

“Sorry…?” Lucifer finally looked at her. “You can say sorry to me, but not to Alastor?”

“Alastor…?” She questioned. 

“My friend.” Lucifer took a step back. “You hurt my friend just like they did yesterday. He’s just as much of a soul like I am and everyone hurts him.”

“Dear, he is nothing like you. You must remember, you are a prince. He is nothing more than a bug on the bottom of your shoe. He means nothing.”

“He means everything.” Lucifer complained, before storming to the front door of St. Peter’s. He pushed the door open and headed right into the living room, passing St. Peter who sat at his table with a warm cup of tea and a confused expression on his face. 

Sera sighed, closing her eyes. She had done Lucifer wrong. She knew it was going to be hard to bring back the trust he had with her. Standing from her spot, she headed inside St. Peter’s house, closing the door behind her. 

“I apologize, Peter.”

“No, don’t apologize! What happened..?” He asked, peering into the living room. Lucifer sat down on the couch, next to Michael who looked over his dirtied outfit. 

“Well…” Sera glanced at the two boys, as Lucifer crossed his arms over his chest and didn’t say a word to his brother. “Let's just say, things got out of hand in Hell. I shouldn’t have brought him there, Peter. I made a mistake.” 

St. Peter stared at her. He set down his cup as he headed to the kitchen. He was quick to grab a cup, and pour her a warm cup of tea to sit with. 

“Okay, well, I mean, everyone makes mistakes, most of the time God himself forgives you if you admit your faults. What happened?” He asked, wrapping his hands around his own cup. 

Sera looked at him. St. Peter was a trusted friend, a person she could talk to. And he was right, she needed to admit her faults, or she would never be forgiven. 

“I lost him… While we were in Hell, I lost sight of him and he disappeared.”

“Oh my stars…” St. Peter placed a hand against his chest. “That’s why he’s so dirty…” 

“Yes..” Sera pushed her hair back. “I searched everywhere for him, until I finally found him in some park that the sinners have. It’s nothing near as beautiful and clean as our own, but he sat on the grass… And I thought he was getting hurt.” 

“By what..?” St. Peter leaned forward, curious about the whole situation. 

“Another sinner. Perhaps a hellborn, I’m not too sure. But he was too close to him, and I thought this sinner was hurting him.” She looked at Lucifer who had buried his face into a pillow on the couch. “But I think… I was wrong.”

“Ummm…” St. Peter tilted his head to the side. “You can’t be wrong about a sinner, Sera. They’re bad people, Lucifer shouldn’t have been around this sinner in the first place.”

“I know… That’s when we left. But he seems really upset that I pulled him away. Perhaps… He was just trying to have fun-’ “Fun in Hell doesn’t exist, Sera..” St. Peter gently took her hand. “Don’t blame yourself for this misfortune. I’m sure God will forgive you for this, you are one of his most trusted people-”

“And that’s why I think it was a bad idea to even let Lucifer hear the idea of Hell.” She took her hand from the blonde across from her. “God trusted me to look after his two oldest, and I lost one of them in the most dangerous place known to creation.” 

“Just… Tell him that. And that you know you did wrong, and that you feel bad about it…” St. Peter muttered. “I’m sure he won’t be angry with you. You’re one of his favourites.”

“God doesn’t play favourites, St. Peter. Winners just think he does.” 

~~~~

Sitting down at the table, Michael beamed with happiness, Raphael in his lap as he shared his dinner with the second youngest of the boys. He clung onto Michael like his life depended on it, watching him and occasionally stealing some of his food even though he had a seat and a plate all to himself. 

Lucifer on the other hand, sat in his spot, a small pout on his face while he barely touched his food. Gabriel moved his own chair to sit closer to Lucifer as he climbed into it, looking happily at his older brother only to pause. He saw the pout on his face and pouted as well. 

“Why are you upset?” He asked, his voice small as he gently tugged on Lucifer’s sleeve. 

“It’s nothing.” Lucifer muttered, looking at the smaller blonde boy. Gabriel was only a year younger than him, but he usually mimicked Lucifer’s facial expressions as a way to try to understand him. Lucifer thought it was a little strange, but cute at times. 

“Nothing…” Gabriel muttered, before taking a few carrots from his plate and giving them to Lucifer’s. “To make you feel better.” He smiled. Lucifer watched him for a moment, before a sad smile appeared on his face. 

“You didn’t need to do that, Gab…” He said, but the younger simply shrugged, happily continuing to eat his own dinner. 

“My boys,” God sat down at the table, a one year old Joel in his arms as he got himself comfortable. “How was your day with Sera?” He asked, a small sigh coming from his lips as he spoke. 

“It was good!” Michael cheered. “We got ice cream, we went to the park, and we spent some time with St. Peter! He has a really nice house!” 

“Oh really? And how is St. Peter?” He asked, gently bouncing Joel in his lap. The baby couldn’t help but giggle, seeing the world jump up and down. 

“St. Peter is doing really good! He said he likes welcoming the new souls to heaven!” Michael explained. 

“And Luci..?” God asked, turning his attention to the second oldest. “How was your day…?”

Lucifer glanced at his father, a shrug of his shoulders as he ate some of the mashed potatoes that were on his plate. 

“It was okay. Went with Aunt Sera to the park and drank orange juice at St. Peter’s. Nothing else," he muttered. God watched him. It was as if the day trip with Sera did nothing for his mood. He was still pouting, his eyes still looked sad. Something was troubling him, and he knew he’d pull him to the side to talk to him about it soon. 

“Well, eat up then. It’s movie night.”

“Movie night!!” Gabriel cheered. 

“Movie night,” Raphael repeated, yet his words were just slightly jumbled as he smiled up at Michael. 

“Yeah, movie night!! You and Gabriel can pick the movie!” 

“I don’t think I wanna sit and watch a movie tonight.” Lucifer spoke, pushing his food around the plate. Gabriel glanced at his brother, another pout appearing on his lips. 

“Why not…?”

“I just,” Lucifer shrugged. “Don’t feel like it.” 

“Luci,” God spoke, gently patting Joel’s tummy. “Do you wanna talk about it after dinner…?” Lucifer simply shrugged, eating more of his potatoes. Gabriel watched him, only to look at their father with the same pout on his lips. 

God looked at his son, giving Gabriel a smile. The boy immediately copied it and continued to eat his dinner. Michael could sense it too. Something was still, definitely off with Lucifer. 

“Well, maybe… You could sit with Duckie and read instead?” He suggested. Lucifer paused. He did like spending time with Duckie. And he should read more. Alastor read a lot, by the looks of it, maybe he should pick up reading more often than too. 

“Maybe…” He said, stealing a small glance at Michael. He gave him a smile as he ate the carrots Gabriel gave to him. 

~~~~

As the boys were getting the big living room set up for the movie night, Gabriel and Raphael threw pillows and blankets onto the floor while Michael set up the movie choice, Lucifer wandered down the hallway. 

Pictures of all of the important people in his life on display in big paintings. Cases of their belongings and remnants of the past. First, was Sera, the eldest Seraphim of Heaven. Beside her, a larger painting of all of the elder angels, people Lucifer had never met, yet knew their importance. 

Alongside them, a painting of his father, in his heavenly form. Four eyes lingering in the air, next to a top hat that held a firm gold cross on it. A bright white smile as the blue and white cape draped over his knees. He looked proud, strong and independent. The creator of all things. 

Next to him, paintings of his brothers. Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, and Joel. All in separate paintings. His own painting sat between Michael and Gabriel. They were the princes of Heaven. It didn’t matter their order, to God, they were all still his sons and all still most important to the creation of Heaven. 

“Lucifer?” This time, his voice was soft and gentle as he spoke, his hands folded together in front of him as he approached the blonde boy. Lucifer looked up at his father, before he looked back at his own painting. 

“Why do people have to get hurt when they show you the good side of them…?” Lucifer asked. God raised an eyebrow. 

“Such a heavy question from you, my son…” God frowned. “Is that what’s been troubling you?” He asked. Lucifer didn’t hesitate to nod. 

“The other day… The boy got hurt..” He spoke. “But he was just showing me how he sees his home. I don’t get why we had to hurt him…” 

God frowned, before holding his hand out for Lucifer. The boy didn’t hesitate to grab onto his hand. 

“For many years, Heaven and Hell were on opposite sides.” He began, walking down the hallway. “Heaven was the sanctuary for those who did not commit a sin. For those who followed your earthbound brother’s rules.” 

“Jesus..” Lucifer gave a firm nod. 

“Yes, Jesus. And Hell was the place for those who turned their back, looked away from the rules and did the things that were bad.” He explained. “They didn’t follow your brother’s rules, committed sins that could not be forgiven.”

“Things written in your bible.”

“Yes, exactly.”

“But..” Lucifer frowned. “Alastor didn’t break a rule…”

“That’s because he is hellborn, Lucifer. A hellborn is someone who was born in Hell and can never enter Heaven. Rules were put in place for instances such as this.” God spoke. 

“So… Even if he did the purest thing a soul could do," Lucifer looked up at his father. “He could never be welcomed into heaven?”

“Exactly. And I don’t…” God paused. “I’m not sure what happened the other day, but the Cherubim watching you, the one who kept you safe from him, had told me that this boy almost hurt you.”

“That’s not true though.” Lucifer let go of his father’s hand. “He was defending his home… We would do the same thing, but… He got hurt when we didn't even get a slap on the back of the hand.” Lucifer frowned. “So I don’t understand how Cherubim could hurt him when he did nothing wrong.” 

God sighed. He put his hands together as he watched his second oldest frown and pout, confused on the rules, probably angry as to why a soul as young as him, had to be hurt to be taught a lesson. 

“Lucifer,” god knelt down, putting a hand on his knee, he held out his other hand for the young one. “We can not change the past, but we can make change for the future. Make it brighter and better and beautiful. Yes, I do have to admit, perhaps the Cherubim was in the wrong. And I’m sorry your friend got hurt. But now, we have to move on from this. We have to look past it, and decide what we can do to stop it from happening in the future.” He explained. Lucifer’s little hands grabbed onto his fathers’. He listened to him, trying to understand his words. 

“Winners learn from their mistakes and ask me for forgiveness. And I grant it. My son,” God gently cupped Lucifer’s cheek. “Understand that, though it was wrong, there is nothing you can do to stop it from happening. But know that you can stop it from happening in the future. Do you understand…?” He asked. 

Lucifer’s little eyebrows furrowed as he slowly understood the meaning of his fathers words. Slowly, he gave a firm nod. 

“That’s my beautiful boy.” God pulled Lucifer into a hug, pressing a kiss against his head. “Now, smile and brighten the day with who you are. You’re not a Morningstar without your smile.” He spoke. 

Lucifer looked at him. His pure, soft blue eyes looking back at his father. A hope lit in the pits of the dark blues. A brighter future praying to bloom from his lessons. 

“Yes, father.”

The World Zoo

(Reality-1296)

“Welcome to The World Zoo! When you first enter, you step out of a portal. This portal leads to whichever DR you want (or back to your CR). Then, you’ll see the main entrance in front of you. Go up to a ticket booth, where an attendant where ask you for your ticket. It’s now automatically in your hand, and shows that you’re a shifter. You’ll then be given a wristband. Click the button, and a holographic screen pops up. With this wristband, you can change your appearance, spawn a mask to wear, make the wristband invisible, or make it glowing so it’s easier to see. Only shifters have a wristband, so you know them when you see them (if you want to make yourself visible).

From here, the main flow of traffic is to the left where the South America land is. The zoo is a loop, with seven lands. In order from bottom left to bottom right: South America, North America, Europe, Asia, Africa Australia/Oceania, and Antarctica. Each land has a walkway to the main hub land, just called The Hub.

All of the continent areas have theming on the level of theme parks. They have tons of different exhibits for the different biomes in the continent. Each land also has a reptile/amphibian house, an aviary, and an indoor aquarium. On the non-animal side, the lands have a restaurant and a roller coaster. The restaurant is themed to the continent, and has all kinds of food from every country in the continent. There are 15 total coasters in the park, with seven in the lands and seven in The Hub. These coasters are: 4-D coaster, backwards coaster, diver coaster, floorless coaster, flying coaster, giga coaster, hyper coaster, inverted coaster, launch coaster, lift hill coaster, looping coaster, spinning coaster, standing coaster, wing coaster, wooden coaster. These aren’t the names, just the coaster types. I’m not scripting names or stats. I want that to be a surprise.

The Hub land has the seven remaining coasters not in the continent lands. It also has restaurants that have food not themed to a specific continent. Like a seafood restaurant, a BBQ restaurant, a steakhouse, etc. In the middle, shining above it all, is The Hangout! This place is a place wheee shifters can come together to hang out and share their different shifting experiences and stuff. The first floor is the lobby, and subsequent floors are more specialized. Like there’s a movie theater, swimming pool/water park, arcade, video game area, etc! Anything you can think of, it’s probably there.

No need to worry about time, since time is automatically paused in whatever reality you came from. You can stay here for as long as you want (you won’t age either). You also don’t have to eat, drink, sleep, or use the restroom, although you can do all these things as much as you want. That way you can eat a ton without getting full! In addition, since the zoo is so huge, your feet won’t get tired, and you can also use stuff like Segways that will be at the main entrance to get around. By the way, so it doesn’t feel uncanny valley, there will be other people there. But you can just walk right through them as if they’re ghosts.

Does any of this sound cool to you? Great! When you’re shifting, just imagine shifting to “The World Zoo,” or if you want to get fancy I also gave it the designation of “Reality-1296.” Have fun! Although I haven’t shifted yet, I hope to see y’all here soon. And tell me what it’s like once you get there!”

this was created by my mutual @shifting-with-the-waves please dm them with any questions you have !!

[mythica0]

Hey guys! I don’t really post about shifting stuff but I wanted to post this. The fact that others can visit is inspired by the wonderful and very helpful @stilljuststardust (hope you don’t mind the tag!)

Welcome to my waiting room, also known as Mythica! (Note for the format that this started out in my notes just for me but as I went on I added some other features. Might add more in future:3)

My waiting room is less of a room and more of a space, and certain things kinda work like a video game. There is a nice building with comfortable rooms and access to all media outlets past and present. There is also a large garden with flowers and lovely little plants and things. Outside the house is a lovely natural environment with rolling hills, large fields, gorgeous clear waters, fluffy clouds and tall glorious trees. Near the house is a large open clearing with tons of portals/doors through which you can enter any of the other DR’s + my OR. A new one is added for every DR. I can also shapeshift and grow any number of non human attributes as well as shift into animals or mythical creatures.

This is like a DR in itself, basically meant for piling anything that doesn’t fit into its own DR into a space. The house/field is considered ‘spawn’ and if you have the intent to go back to spawn and say ‘take me to spawn’ you will instantly teleport back there. You can also teleport to any other location in this world via a map at spawn by tapping on the location you wish to go(to make it more fun, it’s only visible/unlocked on the map once you’ve seen it before) and then tapping the “fast travel” option. The other option would be “info” which you can view all the information about a location including natural flora and fauna, magical/unnatural properties, and big attractions.

I’ll wait to find out what the universe has is store for the locations once I get there, but something locations I’d like to see include: Rainbow location, Cloud/sky location, Underwater location. Mythical creature la and all sorts of animal friends reside here as well. This also allows stuffies to live and walk around on their own like in Toy Story or doc Mcstuffins. You can find wild stuffed animals, Other ppls stuffies and my own(past and present) will wander round the house/field like little pets!!

Other people are welcome to visit, and each person will have their own “spawn” with their own house, field and portals. You can visit other people’s spawns but can only interact with the surroundings if given permission by the owner. If you are the owner, you can give others three states of permission or ban them entirely, which will prevent them from entering your spawn area. :

view only-the person can walk around, touch and look at the surroundings but will not influence anything.

Visitor-can move/influence surroundings

Owner/full permission-can change anything about the spawns appearance, function or connection to the rest of the space at will.

Thank you for taking time to read this whole thing if you’ve made it this far! I hope anyone who’s out there in the void of my post notifications sees this and decides to visit! I hope to run into you!! :D I will try to keep updated if I decide on any changes, which I will use the tag #Mythica as that’s the name, so don’t be afraid to check once in a blue moon!

Is there a way we can play your mod or is it not public yet

(First time tapping on this blog btw)

Wow. Always an uplifting surprise to find that.

I'll give you the short answer, and then a monologue. NBODE is not public yet, nobody but me and allegedly just one other person has played it, and it's expected to stay that way until Alpha 1.0.0 is complete on Modrinth. I'm projecting that this will take a few more months.

(Monologue)

It greatly boosts me to hear that people who are on my blog page like what they see in my mod and are interested in playing it - especially if they've only been on it for like 20 minutes at the time. Probably because I've been working on it for more than 24 months now and have been having a lot of fun playing it on a private server. I honestly can't wait for the day that it's public. Once this mod is released and gets attention on a bigger, playable scale, I will truly be the king of Beta 1.8. I think I'd like to see what let's plays happen on it a lot. Most retro Minecraft mod let's plays are unailed by the video-design scourge that clickbaitifies and controls modern Minecraft videos.

Most of the screenshots one will see from Noticeably Beta 1.8 on this blog are either development screenshots or pictures from a multiplayer server I run myself for me and practically one other person. It's called Monty Cabin, and the three worlds it uses are called Elder Hills, Mount Creep, and "Castle God". Working title on that last one. I've shared download links to Noticeably Beta 1.8 patches (it runs in ModLoader and ModLoaderMp) in the place where me and some online friends meet, but for all I know nobody but me and the one guy have ever downloaded or played it. My other friends have access, but supposedly no time to join in.

Noticeably Beta 1.8 has been taking a long time because of some "insurmountable walls" in coding difficulty and the shocking failure of modern search engines. It's terribly difficult to find any help resources on very basic things about modding Beta in ModLoaderMp, like how to make packets work or new custom mobs. Which is stupid because everyone and their mother seemed to be amazingly skilled at modding Beta back when Beta was the cutting edge vanilla version and the threads should still be around.

I also made something of a pact with myself that without adding "two specific new features" first so that me and my friend can unseal that Alpha 1.0.0 Nether Portal and go exploring them, I can't call Alpha 1.0.0 complete. Those specific features have been very hard to add. I'm not an expert at Minecraft modding by any means, and this whole time I've been punching well above my weight. I've been wondering this year if trying to get those features into the game before the completion of the first true alpha is something I should do and is worth it.

Lately, however, I'm feeling more confident. If I can figure out how to use Beta 1.8's infrastructure that was ultimately introduced in that version for a certain one of Minecraft's gameplay areas, I'll have very little work left to do before I have acceptable compromises on some of my vision for the time being, and can reasonably try to see if Modrinth approves it.

I feel I should also let people know that NBODE has some things about it that might not be satisfying for some Minecraft fans that have different tastes, even if they are Golden Age fans. In the interest of letting those people down easy, I've got some points to share. One of the first things I did was actually change Endermen a lot.

I didn't remove them, but I've been pissed off at Endermen for a long time and so I took away a lot of things that bother me about them that I think lots of people traditionally may have liked. I turned off their teleportation and removed that animation where their jaw opens and completely detaches from the back of their head for no reason.

On a potentially more agreeable note, I gave them more health than they normally get in Beta 1.8, and made it so that blocks they pick up are not removed from the world (less griefing that way) and an Enderman in the world can only place two blocks in their life each. They're also less like whatever an Enderman was before and more like fire demons, though they look the same as before. I also had to give them a discount sound effect because their usual tone is not in Beta 1.8.

Golden Age players may find this next one to be no biggie at all. It's the fact that NBODE is like Beta 1.7 in a lot of ways, the way I'll focus on here being that it's practically all about survival, gathering resources, and building. Big expeditions/journeys like you'd get in Minecraft Release 1.11 don't really come into it. Unless you want to find cool terrain. This is Beta 1.8 terrain on the other hand, so it's got famously subjectively bad landscapes and objectively over-huge oceans.

Hilariously, The Adventure Update of vanilla Minecraft in Beta 1.8 hardly had any excuse to go on "adventures" at all. It was pretty much all about extreme hills and abandoned mineshafts, which appropriately enough are terrains that partly brought me to choose this version for my mod. I also chose it because of its crazy-good mood/appearance (IMO).

After much struggling I was able to create a small structure on the surface that lets people know a Stronghold is below if they find it while playing the mod. But the point is that Beta 1.8 wasn't a very expedition-trip kind of game compared to Beta 1.7, and in Beta 1.8, and NBODE at this time, building stuff, mining, killing monsters that get in your way, and just being based is most of what you'll probably do. But a lot of people are fine with this, including me and obviously the modern-age retro gaming Minecraft Beta community.

Finally, I'll cut the "bad news" short here by finishing it with the doors. I worked very hard to change doors to make them make more sense, meaning that they are anchored on the hinges beside the door block, instead of Minecraft's usual thing where they break off if you break the floor. You can place any door against a cliff in this mod. There are already screenshots of that. However, when I added this many months ago I wasn't smart enough to make the block item activateable when right clicking on the ground, which means that some people may get confused or find it difficult to place doors. You have to stand in front of a couple of stacked blocks and place the door against their side, while "looking forward".

Since before this project even really started, I've been terrified of plagiarism of this mod. My ideas have been stolen or in some other way lifted before I could succeed before. That applies even just in Minecraft content itself. Luckily, my approach to NBODE was really smart and nuanced with the stuff I was doing. And I started documenting my development and showing that it exists pretty quickly. Because of that, I think the worst case scenario is that somebody pretends to beat me to the punch with their own bootleg Noticeably Beta 1.8, but this hypothetical person is also really stupid in addition to being a creatively-bankrupt thief and has no idea how to do all the big and little things I've picked up that make NBODE as carefully well-designed as it is, or how to do what makes it work so well.

I was also really upset in real life when I did a curious search and found out that I wasn't the first person to come out with a Beta 1.8 mod trailer or product in this decade. The mod I found is nothing like my mod, but I wanted to be the first to hit the road on Beta 1.8 bigmodding. I hate Beta 1.8.X for doing that. >:|

This is also the first answer of a Tumblr ask that I've done entirely on Linux. There's a bit of a technological disruption here, as I don't know how easy it will be to set up MCP and my mod workspace on this other computer, but maybe I'll finish the first public build before I get off my big computer. It's unknown. But I know I have to get everything backed up from my big computer and replace the operating system very soon. It's going to be okay, but it's going to be different.

Sonic The Hedgehog (2020) Movie Review!

While I was sick recently, I was holed up in my room trying not to infect the rest of my family. I'd been reading Sonic fanfics in the meantime, and this gave me the idea to finally watch the DVD I got of the the 2020 Sonic movie, and then of course, I wanted to write a review, because it's fun (and my wife seems to like them)! I'll put a divider here, because this review does contain spoilers for most of the plot points, so this is your warning before you read on!

To get the unfortunate bits out of the way, the movie had a rough start, with the strange first design of Sonic becoming a social media trend of snark and negativity that I remember making me pretty depressed. In response to the backlash, Paramount changed up Sonic's design to something cuter. I've heard mixed claims saying that during this time the artists for the movie were abused with crunch, while others claim this didn't occur, so I'm not sure about whether or not it happened, but I hope not.

A worried Sonic ball, hiding from badniks....

With that unpleasantness out of the way, the movie eventually finished and came out, and at-least on tumblr I saw a lot of folks seemed to really enjoy it. My little brother expressed interest in watching it with me, so eventually while out shopping with my wife I picked up copies of the first two movies.

This movie does commit the act of "Hollywood Video Game Adaptations" by largely changing the source material and basically creating another AU for the Sonicverse, and I know that's a turnoff for some, so this wouldn't be every one's cup of tea as many folks would prefer something rooted in one the already established Sonic worlds. I was able to enjoy the film though, and found it quite cute, sweet and funny. It also gave warm fuzzies to see my favorite childhood video game hero in his first big screen movie adaption.

The Story follows Sonic as he is ousted from his home world by his owl mom to live on Earth, after a tribe of echidnas attacks their house. Sonic is ordered to live in hiding, and is given a bag of magic teleportation rings that he is to use only in an emergency to escape to another place.

As ordered, Sonic lives on Earth in secret, in a town called Green Hills. He spies on the humans and enjoys learning about Earth, but is still very lonely as he isn't allowed to interact with them. Some of his favorite humans are a local couple that he has named "Donut Lord" and "Pretzel Lady". One night, while playing at a baseball field at night, Sonic gets so upset about his isolated life that he causes a massive power surge with his speed, drawing attention to his location.

Dr. Robotnik meets Donut Lord!

The government calls in Dr. Robotnik (and his minion/boyfriend Agent Stone), whom in this universe is an earthling rather than a resident of Mobius. He is played by Jim Carrey as a delightfully fun and strange villain throughout the film. He takes over the search for the source of the power surge, and eventually closes in on the cave Sonic has been living in.

In a panic, Sonic decides he'll need to bail on this world, though he hates the thought of having to do so, being so fond oft it. He sneaks into Donut Lords home to use one of his teleport rings, when Donut (aka Tom) finds him and shoots him with a tranquilizer dart gun. One of Sonic's rings opens up and since Donut's shirt made Sonic think of San Francisco, that's where the portal leads to and Sonic's rings end up there.

After getting to know each-other, Sonic and Donut end up fleeing as vigilantes both from the government and Dr. Robotnik. Eventually they make it to San Francisco, Sonic gets his rings back, and he has a big showdown with Robotnik where he ends up sending Robotnik through a portal to the mushroom world he was originally going to go to. Donut Lord and Pretzel Lady end up adopting Sonic, and the movie wraps up as Sonic sees his new bedroom in a really sweet scene. Mid credits, we also get a teaser showing Tails arriving on Earth!

One of the movie's more badass looking scenes.

Outside of the aforementioned issue that creating an entirely new Sonic AU for the film will alienate some folks, my only other criticism is that I would have liked to learn more Sonic's owl mom, as she seemed pretty cool. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the film quite a bit. It was colorful, pretty, Sonic was adorable, Robotnik was very funny, and Sonic's new friends were quite likeable. Definitely a recommended watch for anyone curious about the film. :) I may end up watching the sequel sometime soon, too!

For the fanfic ask game:

H: How would you describe your style?

J: Write or describe an alternative ending to Impactful Skip. (Really interested how the concept could've gone if Tails didn't do All That)

O: How do you begin a story—with the plot, or the characters?

Q: How do you feel about collaborations?

S: Any fandom tropes you can't resist?

H: How would you describe your style?

Tbh I don't know how to describe writing styles, or at least like... As well as I could describe my drawing style 😭 But uhhh... I guess my writing style is full of imagery, foreshadowing, and I like allegories. And silly jokes. And I'm obsessed with writing dialog. And uhhh... If anyone else would like to explain my writing style to me I'd genuinely love to hear it khdskghdsgl

J: Write or describe an alternative ending to Impactful Skip.

I can't write an alternative ending to the actual ending since that would be SPOILERS but here's an alternate ending to chapter one- I wrote this in like 15 minutes and it's not beta read but I had fun HFLKHFSKLH

It was a… Portal? At least it looked like one. Just at the bottom of the hill, there was a purplish blue, swirling vortex floating in the air. The inside of it resembled a tunnel, but it was unclear where it could even lead to. Several specks that reminded him of stars were swirling around at the entrance. But when he tried to look inside it, it was only filled with bright, blinding light. He circled around the portal, keeping some distance just in case. The other side didn’t make it any clearer where it led to, nor where it had even come from. Sonic huffed and reached to his quills, pulling out his communication device and calling Tails. “What is it? Did Shadow cancel?” Tails asked as he picked up. “Nope! I’m still on my way. I just came across this weird portal thingy, and I think ya should come and check it out,” Sonic explained. “A portal? Where?” Tails replied, sounding surprised. “You know that park close to the city?” Sonic asked, imagining Tails nodding despite not seeing him. “It’s right next to that big hill. Should I step inside?” “NO!” Tails screamed. “Sonic, whatever you do, do NOT touch it! Wormholes are impossible to escape from!” Sonic rolled his eyes. “Alright, alright, I won’t. But we gotta do something about this, I think Egghead’s planning something!” “Definitely, seems pretty serious. I’ll go get Amy and we’ll be on our way,” Tails agreed. Sonic grinned. “I’ll be waiting right here for you guys!” “Don’t you have that date with Shadow?” Tails asked with a hint of both teasing and annoyance in his tone. “Hey, I can’t just leave this big old wormhole here!” “Yes, you can, Amy and I can handle it! Just go on that date, Sonic. Shadow’s not gonna be happy if you just leave him waiting. You know how he is.” “Well, true. But we’ll both come help if it starts getting too serious,” Sonic huffed. “Good luck, buddy!” “You too,” Tails said before hanging up. Sonic glanced at the portal one more time, before dashing away. He ran through the park, finally spotting Shadow in the distance. He sat on a picnic blanket with his arms crossed and gave Sonic an angry glare when he got closer. “I told you not to be late,” he grunted. “I’m not that late, am I?” Sonic shrugged. “You are seven minutes late. That’s a lot for someone who insists they’re the fastest thing alive.” “Whoops,” Sonic chuckled and sat down on the blanket. “I got distracted by a portal. Probably Eggman’s plan or something.” Shadow narrowed his eyes. “The Doctor is here?” “Didn’t see him. But Amy and Tails are gonna handle it,” Sonic hummed as he grabbed a sandwich from Shadow’s picnic basket. “They’ll call us if they need backup.” Shadow nodded, picking up a sandwich for himself as well. “Knowing you, I’m surprised you didn’t stick your nose inside the portal,” Shadow said. Sonic laughed. “I know, buddy. I know.”

O: How do you begin a story—with the plot, or the characters?

(I answered this previously so I'm just copypasting my answer here gdkhlgsdhg) Well, in case of fanfiction, the characters are already there- But even with original characters, I always start with the story, or at least the premise. The characters do affect the story and vice versa, but I personally feel like it's easier to first build the world, then the story, and then put the characters in their roles! Especially if it's an AU, such as Prophecy of Chaos or Chivalrous Devotion.

Q: How do you feel about collaborations?

I LOVE collabs!! I wanna do more of them :3 I like collabs where someone else illustrates my writing. I do also like bigger collabs, like making AUs together. Prophecy of Chaos is a collaboration between me and @tillytilli after all! But I feel like I can only do big collabs like that with close friends, since those are a lot of work and I'm VERY timid XD

S: Any fandom tropes you can't resist?

Hurt/comfort is always so good, I can never get enough. And angst. I also love historical AUs and medieval fantasy AUs. Also anything to do with monsters is so good. Teehee.

FanFic Ask Game

NPMD Headcannons (ft. Jonathan Coultan)

I've also done this with Will Wood.

Starting with just their favourites, we've got

Pete's favourite is Future Soon. For obvious reasons.

Ruth's is First Of May, again, for obvious reasons.

Aside from the portal songs, Richie likes Re: Your Brains, or Skullcrusher Mountain. (Ruth also loves Skullcrusher Mountain. She says that she would appreciate a half-monkey half-pony monster)

Steph likes I Feel Fantastic. She thinks it's very funny.

The only song Max has really heard and paid attention to by him is Chiron Beta Prime. It was on for Christmas, and it sounded very out of the ordinary.

(Post redemption, Max likes Ikea.)

And now for various random ones.

Richie's the one who told Pete and Ruth about Jonathan Coultan, having discovered him after playing the Portal games.

Ruth claimed that he stole Baby Got Back from Glee, but felt almost betrayed when she learned it was the opposite.

Steph tells Pete that Code Monkey reminds her of him (in a cute way) and he's very bashful of that fact

Paul is displeased to hear that Code Monkey is much more reminiscent of him (Either from nephew Richie, or Ted who overheard Pete listening to it.

Creepy Doll scares the ever loving shit out of Max, and it's the sole reason he refuses to live alone, especially in a house (especially at the edge of the woods at the top of a hill. Never, ever)

Pete likes Shop Vac. I can't explain why, I just think he likes Shop Vac.

I Crush Everything makes Max very sad, but he initially listened to it with the hope of getting a power trip.

Steph puts on Chiron Beta Prime at a Christmas party where her father says she can request a song, "so long as it's a Christmas song (not including Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer)"

Ruth likes to rub it in Richie's face that one of his favourite musicians worked on SpongeBob SquarePants, The New Musical

Richie loves putting on Re: Your Brains, especially in the car with other people, because he knows everyone will come in for the chorus and it's a fun time. He often does it to lighten the mood if there's been a fight recently.

Grace scoffs whenever Skullcrusher Mountain plays, and no one is exactly sure why.

They absolutely 100% reference "but I don't have any messages," So often,  • only about 40% of the time is that followed with "All I know, is driving on drugs feels better when they're prescription, all I know, is the world looks beautiful, the world looks so damn beautiful," or "All I know, is I take my medicine, I always take my medicine."  • And only about 30% of those are followed by the chorus.

Ruth says she prefers the non-GLaDOS versions of Still Alive and Want You Gone just to piss of Richie.

Ruth and Trevor would, and have thought about, writing a musical using his music, much like Mama Mia. (Something like: Future Soon, Code Monkey, Creepy Doll, I Feel Fantastic, Skullcrusher Mountain, I Crush Everything somewhere in there— or something like that, I totally haven't thought of doing that myself.)
