NuclearCowboy Ultimate Album Compilation

Tagged by @styxnbones to give 4 albums I listen to alot (I listen to music not made by frank iero edition)

I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love by My Chemical Romance - The problem with making a list like this is I really just want to just mcr's entire discography but I'm not going to do that, I swear I listen to other music. But this spot could be taken by pretty much any of their albums, and while I don't think this is their technically best album Bullets is just such a personal favourite

Life's Not Out To Get You by Neck Deep - A classic album for me. Been listening to this one since I was 12 years old and it's still just as amazing. Not much more to say, just some good old classic pop punk.

The Greatest Generation by The Wonder Years - I'm in love with pretty much all of The Wonder Years music thats come out since this album, however this tends to be the one I always gravitate back to which is why I've chosen it over their other albums, though No Closer to Heaven is a very close runner up for me (shout out to my old sideblog url @/noclosertoheavenmp3)

Home, Like No Place Is There by The Hotelier - I gotta be honest, I don't have much insightful to say about this album it's just really fucking good. Every song is just an absolute hit for me, though I am predictable in the fact that Life in Drag hits real close to home. Though Housebroken and Among the Wildflowers are also up there. Over just a great album

HONORARY MENTIONS (just for fun):

Everything by Frank Iero - the problem with trying to make this list is that Frank's been in enough projects that I can just listen to them all on repeat without getting bored... and so I gotta be honest that's just what I do most of the time.

Aaron West and The Roaring Twenties entire discography - The Wonder Years vocalist side project not included as to not double up. Just a wonderful concept album, I love Soupys writing style, it's all great stuff.

Tape Deck Heart by Frank Turner - just a great album as alot of frank turners albums are. Great recorded and even better performed live

Tagging @probablyahazard and @horsecursed-cowboy , obviously no pressure. Also putting an open tag out there for anyone who would like to join :]

[just-my-latest-hyperfixation]

20 Questions for Fic Writers

Tagged by the amazing, sexy, incredible @wormdebut - thanks, love! ❤️

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

Eighteen and and a whole batch of new ones incoming for the @steddieholidaydrabbles - so excited, weeeeeee!!!

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

308,387

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Stranger Things

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Hic sunt dracones 

Someone who cares

Possession

See you in a crown

Just add water         

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Yes, always! (Well, except for the rude ones but I can count those on my fingers, thank God!) Every single comment is so fucking precious to me. You didn’t only take the time to read my story, but you liked it enough to go to that little box and tell me your thoughts? Kissing you, kissing you, KISSING YOU!!! 😘

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

I’m a happy endings gal all the way! If I’m gonna put them through the horrors for hundreds of thousands of words, I damn well wanna give them their happily ever after! That being said, I have this little microfic where tentacle lake monster Steeb enthralls Eddie to lure people to him so that he can eat them. Sorry, Eddie! 

(He’ll absolutely bring him O’Donnell and Principal Higgins, so it’s fine.) 

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Hic sunt dracones! I mean hello? They are mates and Steve is King and everyone is happy and my boy gets flower crowns and apple pie and hot, hot dragon sex forever after! 

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Someone once felt the need to leave me a very passive aggressive comment on how my Brit slips were “completely ruining the vibe” of my fics (and then I wrote a microfic about British!Steve, I’m still laughing). 

Oh, and then there was that one time I was accused of racism. 

But apart from that, everyone has been lovely and fantastic and supportive and I really love it here. I’ve met so many more lovely people than assholes. 

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Ummm … I’m the person with the 100k dragon porn fic. Hell yes, I write smut! I love writing smut, all kinds of smut!

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

No, sorry, my brain doesn’t do crossovers. XD 

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Nope. 

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

No, but I’d be thrilled to see it happen. Any and all transformative works are always welcome, just be sure to tag me because I’d love to see them and you will have my sword and my axe for eternity and I will scream about it forever!

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

I once co-wrote an original work with a friend when we were like 15? We had no idea what the fuck we were doing and it never got finished, but it was a blast!

14. What’s your all time favorite ship?

Steddie. I love them, I’m obsessed with them, I think I’ll be writing fic for them for the rest of my life!

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

I’m committed to finishing all of my WIPs, that’s why I’m a good girl and only ever work on one large fic at a time with smaller projects on the side, but there’s SO MANY I WANNA WRITE STILL!!!!

16. What are your writing strengths?

Several people have told me that I’m really good at scene setting and evoking imagery, at painting very vivid pictures in their minds …  so I guess there’s that. 

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

I wish I could write stunning, creative metaphors like @wynnyfryd . The river Styx one from the trailer park AU? Blew me away! I could never come up with that!

I also admire @wingedquill for being able to be concise and still so fucking intense in their fics! I'm a wordy bitch myself and always in awe of that skill.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

I’ve never been in a situation where I was faced with the decision, but I think I’d rather describe it instead of typing out the actual words? Such as “they exchanged a few sentences in Spanish”. I’m only fluent in one language besides English, so I feel like I’d either need to get help or include a horrifically mangled Google translation and end up being unintentionally hilarious.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

The first fandom I published for was Stranger Things. 

The first fandom I wrote for was Harry Potter, back before it went to shit (Wolfstar shipper of the very first hour here)

20. Favorite fic you’ve written?

Hic sunt dracones, my beloved! This fic is everything I ever wanted, both in terms of writing and the echo it received. I still daydream about these two (and have another bonus drabble coming in December).

3 ships: So difficult to only choose 3, so I'll choose 3 from my fandoms (canon or not), 3 from simblr, and 3 of my own. OK? OK:

Fandoms

• destiel: even if I live to be 130 (as one of my primary school teachers said each "girl" in the class will be), I'll still be obsessed with them (I'm a Dean lover, I want him happy with his angel for eternity, OK?);

• the Doctor/Master;

• merthur

Simblr

• mattodore by, well, @mattodore : I can't get enough of them (esp. Theo);

• arturion by @lost-souls-story (I'm also kinda obsessed with Elias/Alex and Felix/Tao, but arturion will always be my favs);

• Julian/Lawrence (but I'm also getting quickly involved with Gideon/Sasha) by the one and only @igotsnothing , seriously, HOW do you keep me interesting in vampires when I don't even like them in the first place? I'm a werewolf person, ffs! 😆

Mine:

• any version of Wolfie/Mal, either as their OG selves, their genderswapped versions, or any mix of them;

• Max/Lucas;

• Maxwell/Casey from my Sacrélège universe (characters that I need to try and remake, after losing my CC)

Last song: Come Sail Away by Styx (my 3rd favourite song of all time, after Simple Man by Lynyrd Skynyrd (absolute favourite) and Nothing Else Matters by Metallica)

Last film: Still Encanto, so have my last drama instead: Strong Girl Nam-soon (I have only watched the first 7 episodes yet). I don't know why I waited this long to start it, knowing how much I love Strong Girl Bong-soon (I watched that one many times), which it's a spin-off.

Currently reading: Still nothing...

Currently craving: broccoli *nom nom nom*

Fave color: still red (and yellow, and electric blue, oh! olive green too, I forgot that one the last time I was asked).

Relationship status: Rela-what? LOL, I'm a proud aro-ace person, I don't need one of those

Last Thing Googled: "fashion week ss24". I'm not into fashion AT ALL (I'm the least fashion-aware person you could imagine) for a little project I have (we'll see if it ever see the light of day, though).

Current obsession: WILLA (Landgraab-)MÜNCH!

Ireland, Scotland ... oh! someone told me about a thing in Greece (real life River Styx, hell yeah) so I wanna check that out. xP Last Thing You Read: like, finished reading? shit, I think that was You've Reached Sam (I was very disappointed). Unfinished ... um. Mean Baby by Selma Blair (memoir, have only stopped reading bc book is Too Big for my bag xP) The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by VE Schwab (enjoying a lot, but it's also too big for my bag) & I'm currently reading Carmilla by Sheridan Le Fanu (on page 109/156, totally meant to finish it tonight & start another book tomorrow but I took a 'nap' instead, whoops.) Last Book You Enjoyed Reading: again, finished? bc I'm enjoying Addie LaRue, but for a finished book .... Loveless by Alice Oseman! I swear I have at least half the book underlined bc it made me laugh, or bc I related so hard... I was maybe 50 pages in & raving to my sister just like 'if you still don't really understand asexuality after hearing me talk about it for 4 years, read this book omg'. It's so good, y'all.

I was still in AZ when we did the knitting thing! It's been 3 years!) I tried crochet but couldn't get the hook to do the thing. I honestly can't think of any other crafty thing I've tried, sooo. Yeah, no. I don't. Dx Most Niche Dislike: ummm. okay, actually? the zebra printer on my desk at work. I am the only one that hears the high-pitched whine/hum it makes all day but my god I hate it. Opinion on Circuses: I misread that as 'citruses' earlier. xP Um. I wanna go to one - I think I maybe have a vague memory of going to one? But all I really remember is noise & cotton candy & that it was nighttime, so maybe it was a very vivid dream or just a fair. I dunno. Do You Have Any Sense of Direction: Nope! None! Do not ask me where I am or how to get anywhere bc I don't know!

xP Okay, soooo. Open tag! bc I dunno who to tag for this. it has been days since I was tagged & I know I saw a few people do it & now I can't remember who. so! If this shows up on your dash & you wanna play, have at it! (Do it. @ me; you read my rambling, I'll read yours xP)

I saw your post about recommending Emma Fics!

Might I recommend looking at the EmmaWinchesterWeek tag on here or ao3? There’s a lot of good fics on there. As for specific fics, might I recmmend anything by Ophelia Yvette, Hollie47, Skylarkblue, Deanmultitudes, or orange_8_hands? Oh! Crossroads of the River Styx by SetsunaNoroi is really good it’s a S7 fix-it where Emma lives! The Children of Purgatory by Hekate1308 is also good too! Emma and the werewolf Madison escape Purgatory!

Thank you so much! I'll check them out.

Yes I know about the Emma Winchester Week and I need to scavenge in the tag tbh

Forever pissed that on ao3 Emma's tag is not "Emma Winchester" tho LOL

Game Journal: Tag Tamers - Entry #04

Previously: I learned how to use jogress, beat up a fan-favorite twice in different evolution stages and told Ryo to do the same

Now: Further beating up of the fan-favorite, realizing I have yet to master jogress (despite hours dedicated to it) and storming the edgelord chimera’s continent (who’s apparently very sensitive and wants Ryo to open up his heart).

Special thanks to Ajora Fravashi for translating the game, and to NikcCD from Romhacking net for making it into a playable patch.

So, after defeating BlackWargreymon in the Machine Continent with Ken, I used the Reload Machine to change back to Ryo. Figuring out that’d I’d need to fuse digimon a couple times much like last time, I formed my first team for this area: V-mon, Armadimon and Centalmon. I figured I’d use the first dungeon of the area to keep levelling up my V-mon and evolve my Armadimon. The first of these happened, alright, but the second?

Meet my Chibimon. Apparently I can only complete so many dungeons with V-mon (around 15) before he resets back to a Baby form and I have to train him again. I initially thought this had been some sort of ability from one of my enemies... but not really. It happened about 3 times before I decided to retire V-mon from my team.

Oh, and also another one of those frustrating things where I miss one of my enemies buffing their defenses until I’m only doing 1 point of damage per turn happened. Result? A 79-turn battle, when they usually don’t go past 5 turns.

After a lot of frustration, I finally defeated all 3 dungeons and went face to face with BWG. Look at him, trying to intimidate me. Meeting him was a relief after the nearly invulnerable Monochromon, I tell you.

Back at town, there’s a couple things I wanted to do. First, though, this Kiwimon’s dialogue is pretty interesting. Apparently Michael, Mimi’s American friend from Adventure 02, was already a Chosen Child at this point in time. It’s good to have a timeline between the 8 Chosen Children from Adventure and the entire international group they were in 02. It’s also further proof that the Chosen Children could move pretty freely between worlds at this point in time.

I wanted to forge the Digimetals before continuing. The 2 pieces of the Digimental of Darkness I would have to give to Ken to use, but fortunately I had all 3 pieces of the Digimental of Miracles, and you know what that means...

Oh yes, Magnamon. It’s just an attack for V-mon rather than a proper evolution, but it’s a very powerful attack.

Anyway, clearing the Machine Continent on both worlds opened up the portal to Millenniummon’s Continent. It’s a path along the top of mountains, far above the clouds. The names of the dungeons? “Styx”, “Misery”, “Dark” and finally “Moon”. They all seem like just good ol’ Millie going though his equivalent of teenage years, but the “Moon” at the end makes me wonder if they may not have a deeper connection to his self-image.

Enemies in the 4 dungeons progressively increased in power, from groups of 3 powerful Adults to groups of 3 Ultimates. I constantly fought enemies that would put curses on my digimon to kill them after 3 turns, regardless of the damage inflicted. Enemies that called help from other, more powerful digimon, so I was basically fighting 4 enemies instead of 3. Worst of all, SkullSatamon, who self-destructed early on every fight that included him and forced me to keep reviving my digimon.

Due to the constantly increasing difficulty, I decided to take a break from the main story and just grind until I got a team with Perfect levels. Oh boy, I grinded a lot, jogressed a lot of digimon, both of different types and of the same type. V-mon devolved the previously mentioned 3 times and I finally retired him. Got even more Digimentals (though none of the interesting non-anime ones). Fought teams of 3 Ultimate digimon when going back to play the earlier portions of the game. Ultimately, after hours of grinding, I failed at getting any Perfect-level digimon, but did make my Aquilamon and Centalmon more powerful, as well as got a very strong Revolmon, pictured above.

Pictured above, the final dungeon, as well as the utter fear of one of my Betamon allies inside it. You gotta wonder why they’re there at all, but I’m not going to complain that a non-partner digimon is actually trying to help.

Millenniummon, as seen above, is the only enemy in the game so far to exceed 1000 HP. Fortunately, neither him not his allies had particularly tricky skills, just a lot of power, so after using plenty of healing items, I managed to defeat all 3.

The fused chimera leaves, but not before speaking to Ryo. It’s interesting to see him speaking about his heart, when previously he has been just a random brute, if a more powerful one than usual. As little dialogue as he has had, it seems to paint some off-screen character development brought about by witnessing Ryo’s actions.

Defeating Millenniummon brings me back to the village, where Piccolomon suggests resting before contacting Ken. A door has appeared in the village, following the fused chimera’s defeat. A locked door.

Next time, Ken’s journey through Millenniummon’s Continent and, hopefully, whatever lays behind that door.
