#oh Kenshi has a good base for this

[elbiotipo]

I was thinking on how to do Lovecraftian horror in a Project Zomboid-like game. By Lovecraftian horror I don't mean investigators like in the Call of Cthulhu RPG, or a FPS where you're a badass shooting tentacle monsters. I'm thinking of a setting where The Stars Were Right and the world is consumed by madness and surreal horror, with only some places where humanity still survives as such. Something like The Forever Winter, trying to survive by hiding and looting among ruins and wilderness but instead of giant mechs it's Elder Gods.

I mentioned Project Zomboid because it gets survival right. You have to keep yourself constantly fed, healthy, and even entertained, and oh there's also zombies. Surviving in such a world would be the same. You would be still a common human with all your needs, but your entire reality has collapsed now and you need to evade monsters, and fighting them will be impossible (at most you could take out some of their minions)

And that brings me to insanity. Now that's a topic with a lot of arguing to be done but let's think of it as gameplay. A simple HP points system is dumb. The Zomboid method of stacking debuffs for panic and such works but it's frustrating.

But think about it, what does make you insane in Lovecraftian fiction? It's not seeing a big guy with tentacles, it's trying to understand your own place in the universe and failing. (Though of course traumatic and horrorific sights don't help). So my idea is that you would be isekai'd transported to this new "post-Cthulhu" world, as a regular human (much like characters in Zomboid are average people) You would have some kind of mind-map that allows you to do things, from skills like crafting items to even just walking or speaking. Every time you experienced something lovecraftian, you could lose parts of the mind-map, but they would be mostly... Altered. Perhaps you can even strenghten yourself against the horrors, perhaps not. And on top of that, you would need to keep yourself alive and there won't be any convenient merchant NPCs or magical crafting. You could very well starve to near death, be awake for weeks (and when you sleep, the game doesn't stop, you can face the horrors in your dream... Or have nice dreams if you are doing well), be hurt with a long recovery, and those will take a toll in your psyche.

Maybe when I finally play Disco Elysium I'll get some ideas.

please please please please I need to see any submissive pathetic man please like anyone, Syzoth, Johnny, Kenshi, Smoke, can be all of them separately (or not, they all have a crush on the same person) and they are touching themselves to thoughts about them. I want to know they thoughts and how they eyes roll to the back of their heads oh my god like I swear I'm going insane (or maybe, just maybe, I'm ovulating)

leaving it here so I know me is me: 🐊

down on my knees

a/n: i'm always ovulating for syzoth fr

pairing: syzoth x afab!reader

warnings: nsfw (MDNI), pussy eating, orgasm denial, overstimulation, creampies, hands jobs, blow jobs

Syzoth lays in his bed, blanket strewn about and sheets mussed as he pumps at his cock, the other hand covering his face as he blushes at the image of you

you hadn’t meant to do anything, but you had gotten close to him, leaned into him close enough for him to catch your sweet scent

and then you had gone and put a soft hand on his thigh absentmindedly as you talked to him about something regarding the current court

you huffed and pouted at their treatment regarding Mileena and Tanya, but Syzoth can’t focus, not with your scent in his nose and your hand squeezing his thigh as you talk

he can feel the way your nails dig into his thigh, and he has to try and wave away the thought of your hands squeezing his cock as you tease him

he had hurried away from the meeting, trying to hide his hard-on, and just said he was tired before retiring to his bedchambers

and now, here he was, hand pumping slowly at his cock as he imagines how you would tease him, mock him for being so reactive and sensitive you

you would kiss him first, tongue pressing into his mouth as you grind your hips onto his lap and clothes cock

his hands go up to grip onto your waist, to dig bruises into your soft skin, but you would tell him to keep his hands to himself or else you wouldn’t let him come

he whines into your mouth at the order but would grip onto the sheets obediently as you continue to grind your pussy into his cock, and he grows desperate to feel you

finally, you would part from his lips and trail kisses down his neck, pausing at the junction between his neck and shoulder to suck a dark hickey into his skin

he would groan at the feeling and clench the sheets at he struggles to compose himself, panting into the air as his eyes squeeze shut to focus on not touching you or himself

you smile up at him, before moving down to his sensitive nipples and latching onto them, and he would whine into the air as you suck and nip at him

you leave bite marks all over his plush chest, sucking on one nipple as you pinch the other one with your hand before moving to the other one to lavish it with the same attention

by the end of your teasing, Syzoth can barely think at all, just trying not to concentrate on not cumming in his pants as you give his nipples one last teasing pinch and admire the bite marks and hickeys on his chest

you would pull off his pants, his cock springing free, and you would just let it slap against his stomach as you make him beg for you to touch him

he would easily open his mouth to plea with you, asking you to please touch him, to please make him cum, please he’s been so good

he needs to cum desperately, to feel your hands on him, and Syzoth lets out a high-pitched whine as you slowly pump at his cock, thumb pressing into the slit

you spread his pre-cum along the shaft as you coo at him, mocking him for being so sensitive after only pumping at his cock

he whines and throws his head back, chest heaving up and down as his mind spins with pleasure, and he struggles to formulate words as you stroke his cock

he begs you to cum, please, his mind spinning with the pleasure, and you cock your head at him and give him a coy smile before denying him

he cries into the air as you shift down and place a small kiss on the tip of his cock

you lick from the base to the tip, keeping your gaze on him as he rips into the sheets and tries to keep his calm as you press little kisses to his tip

Syzoth’s cock twitches in your hands, and his hips buck upward as he feels himself teetering over the edge

he begs you to stop, he can’t, he’s going to cum, he doesn’t want to be bad for you

you coo at him and fist the base of his cock, and Syzoth keens as he shoots blanks, unable to cum properly with the way you tightly grip him

his hips would jerk upward and small tears would drip down his face as you praise him, telling him he’s such a good pet for you for telling you that he would cum

he whines into the air, words blabber and mind blank as you take the tip of his cock into your mouth, suckling on the tip and peering up at him through long lashes

you would bob your head up and down slowly, pressing your tongue into the underside of his heavy cock, and he would slowly go insane with the way he can’t cum

his nails dig into the mattress as your wet and warm mouth takes him all the way down to the base, and he struggles to not move as you stay down there

you hum around his dick, and Syzoth’s hips involuntarily twitch upward into your mouth as he lets out a long whine

you glare up at him and come off his cock with a small pop, slapping the inside of his thigh and telling him to not move and be good for you

Syztoh nods, tears blurring his vision as you go back down and take him deep into your throat

he tries to take deep breaths, but it’s hard with the way pleasure fizzes through his entire body and fills his head with a pleasurable buzz

he would try to warn you as one of your hands go down to fondle his balls, but it’s too late and his back would arch off the bed as he cums into your throat

you immediately come off him and stop touching him, ruining his orgasm as he cums into the air and lets out pitiful needy whines

he sobs out apologizes, that he couldn’t hold it in, and you would tut at him before pulling out a cockring and putting it on him before stroking him back to full hardness

Syzoth would moan at the pain weaved into the threads of pleasure, but he can’t cum

he whines and cries at the feeling as you swipe your thumb over the tip and pump him quickly, but his dick can only twitch in your hold as the ring keeps him from cumming

he whimpers out apologizes, and you grip onto his face and tell him to behave

you would tell him to get on his knees on the floor, and he would scramble off the bed, eager to please you as a haziness takes over his brain

he waits at the foot of the bed like an eager puppy as you undress, revealing your body to him, and he salivates at the sight as you sit at the edge of the bed and spread your legs to show your pussy to him

you tell him prove it to you, to prove that he deserves to cum and that he’s actually sorry, and Syzoth wastes no time to dive into your pussy

he moans at the taste of your sweetness coating his tongue, and he digs his nose into your clit as his long forked tongue fucks into your pussy

his tongue pushes and prods until he finds your most sensitive spot, the only indicator is the way you pull on his short hair and encourage him

he whines into your pussy as you press the heel of your foot into his weeping cock, and the pressure makes him lose his composure as his hands fly up to grip onto your hips

you growl and slap his hands away and tell him to behave or he would be wearing the ring for the foreseeable future, and Syzoth would remove his hands in a hurry

his tongue would fuck deep into you, tasting all of your wetness, and Syzoth head spins with pleasure as your pussy clenches down on his tongue

you cum on his face, and he eagerly laps it all up, eyes fluttering shut at the taste of your release

he continues to fuck you on his tongue through your orgasm, and you hum and pet his hair as you ask him whether he think he deserves to cum tonight

he whines into your cunt, wanting to please you, needing to cum, and you coo at him as you tell him to get back up on the bed

he lays on the bed on his back as you straddle his hips, grinding your pussy into his hard cock, and Syzoth groans at the sight of your clit dragging against his cock

you’re so wet on him, and he can feel the way your pussy drips onto his cock and onto his pelvis

he looks up at you with wide eyes, begging you to please touch him, to please ride him, and you smile at him and lift his cock up off his stomach to align your cunt with him

you slowly sink down onto his cock, and he whines at the feeling, eyes squeezing shut as you bottom out

you can feel the ring still at the base of his cock, and you raise yourself up and down slowly, teasing him with the slow drag of your wet pussy on his flushed cock

Syzoth would pant out into the air, needing to feel more of you, and begs you for more, that he needs more, please, he’s been so good for you

you ask him if he’s going to be good, listen to you for the rest of the night, and he nods frantically, desperate to please you and make you happy

you smile coyly up at him and finally quicken the pace, reaching one of your hands down to rub at your clit

Syzoth whines and begs to touch you, to make you feel good, and you tell him to keep his hands on the bed, like a good boy and to watch

and so he watches with wide eyes as you bite your lip and moan as you touch yourself, and he can feel the way your cunt clenches down on him as you rub your clit in tight circles

tears brim in his eyes as he feels himself nearing the edge, and he whines and arches his back off the bed as he tries to cum

but the ring on the base stubbornly keeps his cock hard and aching, and pain flashes in with the pleasure as he cries out that he needs to cum

you just smile back at him until you throw your head back and cum, pussy clenching down on his thick cock

you ride yourself through your orgasm, a creamy white ring forming at the base of his dick, and Syzoth wouldn’t be able to help himself from whimpering at the sight

yet, you continue to ride him, even after your high, and Syzoth whines at the overstimulation, hips twitching away to get away from the stimulation

you mock him, asking if it’s too much before saying that that’s too bad because you aren’t satisfied yet

you would ride him until you’re satisfied and your cum drips down his pelvis and onto the bed sheets

Syzoth would only be able to twitch and whine as pleasure completely takes over his sense and makes him melt into a puddle on the bed

but finally, as you groan from the overstimulation, you would get off him and take off the ring and tell him to fuck into you properly

he grabs onto you instantly, flipping you over and throwing your legs over his shoulders as he fucks into you desperately

his hips grind into your puffy clit as he begs to cum inside of you, and you cup the back of his neck as you give him your permission

Syzoth immediately cums, burying his face into your neck and whining loudly as he seats himself deep inside of you and spills his load inside of your abused cunt

he would give you shallow little thrusts as he cums, his seed spilling out from your pussy despite his cock keeping you plugged, and he pants into your skin

it feels like forever until his high finishes, and when it does, he collapses onto you, tiredness overcoming his entire body

you would coo and pet his hair, telling him what a good job he did, what a good boy he is for you

Syzoth cums into his hand and stares at the ceiling of his bedroom as his wet dream fades into the distance

he breathes into the cool night air as his cum cools against his hand and his stomach, and he sits up to clean himself up before going back to sleep

he hears a few knocks on the door, and Syzoth hurriedly throws on his pants, nearly stumbling into the floor in a hurry, and opens up the door to find you

you’re holding a tray of soup for him, and you ask if he’s alright, he looks flushed, like he’s about to get sick

he waves off your concern but gladly takes your soup, and you bid him a goodnight with a worried look

Syzoth closes the door and leans on it, head leaning onto the wood as he holds the soup in his hands

he wants to so badly tell you he likes you, wants you, needs you

he stares down at the soup in his hands and takes it to his desk to have a bite

he sighs at the taste: you were a wonderful cook, better than the kitchen chef if you asked him, and it was something that he could actually eat

he finishes the soup quickly and cleans himself soon after

as he lays in bed, he wonders if he should just court you, and he falls asleep to the thought of you

he doesn’t see the note attached to the bottom of the tray meant for him, a small confession for him from you about how you liked him

Smoke and Mirrors

Pairings: Tomas Vrbada/Smoke x OC

Warnings: slight gore + Amnesiac!OC + religious trauma (?) + characters dying + hinted innuendos later on + Kuai & Bi Han trying to be good brothers + Liu Kang as a dad figure (?) + Tomas just being his sweet lovable self + Bi Han being kind of a dick + Kuai Liang having no clue what it’s like to have a sister + confused “brother” Kuai Liang (?) + Raiden, Kung Lao, Johnny, and Kenshi being simps (mostly Raiden)

PT: 6/?

While Kuai and Bi-Han went on a mission in Las Angeles, Angel and Tomas were stuck back at base with Raiden and the other new recruits. Liu Kang didn’t take Tomas with his brothers, which in of itself was an odd thing. Angel didn’t mind though, as long as she wasn’t alone.

“So how did you come to join the Lin Kuei?” Raiden asked the pale haired girl

Raiden and Kung Lao sat at the steps of main path to the training grounds where everyone else was. Angel was nearby, sitting on a rock thinking with her back to them.

“I’m sure it was a grand story right? Much like the brothers?”

Angel was silent, hearing them but never saying a word.

“I’m sure your family must be proud too… or the family that raised you right? Bi-Han and Kuai Liang’s parents right?”

“They didn’t raise me. I showed up here months ago. That’s all.”

“That’s all? There has to be more right?”

Angel stood up, turning around to face both men as she stood towering over them.

“No. There isn’t. As far as I know, I remember nothing before I came here. All I have are the times I’ve spent here for the last few months, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’m happy I have something to be in the Lin Kuei for.”

Raiden and Kung Lao were silent, letting Angel jump down and proceeding to walk away, letting Tomas walk in their direction as Angel went the other.

“Angel?”

She ignored him, walking past him as he watched her attention turn away from Raiden and Kung Lao.

“Did I say something?” Raiden asked

Raiden was concerned, he was a newbie to everyone here and he probably just offended the last person he wanted to wrong.

“What’d you say?” Tomas asked

“I just asked how her time was here as a kid and she told me she’s barely been here for a few months. I didn’t mean to offend.”

“We swear it wasn’t our intent.”

“I know. You’re curious, trust me I know. It just takes time with her.”

“She said she doesn’t remember anything. Is that true? How does she know her name though?”

“Oh that’s the name I gave her. She didn’t have one, so I called her that and then so did everyone else. It just stuck.”

“Oh. You really seem to care about her don’t you?”

“Of course. She’s probably my best friend here, and maybe my only friend.”

However… Raiden and Kung Lao didn’t believe him. But then again, as Liu Kang said, Tomas has a good heart, so maybe it’s just his nature to love and care for everyone the same. Maybe that was also because Tomas kept to himself, really only talking to his brothers and Angel.

“Why did you pick the name Angel?”

Tomas shrugged, he didn’t really have an answer. He just knew of angels from stories his mom told him, and Angel radiated that “energy” about her.

“Anyways. We’re gonna go train but can you tell Angel we’re sorry for us?”

“Sure guys, I will.”

And they all went separate ways. Tomas walking to find Angel while Raiden and Kung Lao went to train on the other side of the base.

“Angel? Where did you go?”

Silence greeted Tomas as he took quiet and careful steps, making sure not to disturb Angel in case she didn’t see him coming.

“Angel?” He whispered

“Tomas?”

His attention went up, noticing Angel sitting on the roof of a small hut that some foot soldiers slept in.

“I’ll be right there.” Tomas answered as he used his smoke magic to disappear, then reappearing next to Angel who was seated at the edge of the hut

“What made you come looking for me?”

Tomas adjusted his sitting, hanging his legs over the rooftop with Angel as well. Angel looked sad, seeming to try and think of something.

“Are you alright Angel?”

She nodded, just sighing as she moved her hands back, deciding to lean back a little to stare at the sky. The covers over her eyes intrigued Tomas each and every day. What could possibly be under those? What color did they look like? White? Red? Tomas wanted to know.

“You ever take it off?”

“This?” Angel asked pointing to her eyes with her pointer finger

“Yeah. How can you even see? Is it just muscle memory?”

“I… I don’t know. It’s as if I can see everything, but it’s like I’ve done this all before.”

“Before?”

“Like this just a memory that my own body remembers, just not me. As if I have no control, I just see and speak.”

Angel looked defeated. What even was she to begin with? How do you start a whole life over with no memory of anything before the moment you open your eyes, like nothing ever happened.

“Maybe, it’s just you. Maybe somehow, before you came here, maybe you were a good fighter. Maybe you were the strongest out there.”

Tomas was optimistic at trying to help Angel to remember anything, even if it didn’t seem significant at first. I hurt him to see Angel sad, after all she’s been good to him and his brothers. Tomas was willing to help someone who cared for him back, so he was going to do anything his friend asked of him.

“I’m sure we’ll figure it out together.”

Angel nodded, still staring out into the horizon, seeming to be thinking of something.

“I’ll see you in the morning Tomas.” She spoke softly before standing up, spreading her wings and taking off towards the other side of the complex

Next morning…

Angel woke up when a loud sound of someone screaming jolted her senses awake. Looking to her left and onto her table side, she reached for a small blade, letting it extend into a spear as she jumped out of bed. One hand in front her and the other behind her, Angel slowly walked to the door. She opened it, slowly looking left towards the wall that was next to Kuai’s room, who was at the end of the hall. She looked right, seeing Raiden about five feet in front of her also walking carefully and slowly. Quickly, she pulled her head back behind the door.

“What in the world are you doing?”

“I came to see if you were awake. I didn’t mean to alarm you.”

Angel made the blade disappear, standing up to full walk out the door.

“It wasn’t you who woke me up. I heard someone screaming.”

“Screaming? Oh you mean Johnny.”

“Johnny?”

“One of the new champions from last night. You know, the one Lord Liu Kang wanted to find.”

“Right. I remember.”

“Well come on! Everyone’s waiting for you.”

He turned and ran down the hall, completely forgetting the fact that Angel had her hair over her face in case the wraps fell from her face. She turned to walk back inside her room, making her way to the long white outfit she wore every day. It was almost like a robe, but the back was longer than the front. Her wraps lay on top of the robe, also noticing her golden robe pieces were a little dirty.

“No problem. I can easily clean this later.”

She put on her robe-like dress, making sure the sleeves were perfectly cut halfway down her shoulders. She didn’t show as much of her body like Smoke and his brothers did, but Angel still felt happy with what she wore. The perfectly shaped hole on the back was small, but just big enough for her to spread her wings comfortably. So with her dress on and her golden bands on her wrists, Angel walked out the door and went to go outside. It wasn’t even five seconds before she walked out that a loud “FUCKING SHIT” could be heard somewhere in the distance.

“Oh no.”

To be continued…

Hi Erika!

Could I ask for 6, 24 and 35 from the writer's ask game?

Thanks!

Hiyaaaaaaaa Lolaaaaaaaaa~! Thanks for asking your questions! You know how happy I am to answer!

6) What’s the last line you wrote?

As of me writing the answers for this post, my most recently written line is:

We continued our path to the hospital and the hell waiting for us inside.

Uh oh! That can't be a good sign in any universe whatsoever.

24) How do you choose whose POV to write in?

When it comes to choosing a POV, I just consider whose thoughts I want to frame the situation or what just makes sense.

Like when I wrote the moment when Nacht just... tears out Josele's heart, I knew I wanted it to be from Nacht's perspective because that way, Josele's reaction can be seen. He (and the readers) don't know what she's thinking but they can see the effect Nacht's words have on her still. It's about Nacht seeing the consequences of his thoughtless actions and I love it so much!

And then for a fic like "First Sight," I did it in 1st person POV because that's the POV used by visual novels. Plus it meant I could avoid bringing up a name and thus preserve the player-insert vibe that RadiTale has.

35) What’s your favorite fic you’ve posted?

What an evil question. Making me choose a favorite from my children (the fanfics)./lh+j

Out of everything I've written and posted... I really think "A Shared Bitter Aroma" is my favorite. It centers on my beloved Faustsele ship. It's based on a song that practically altered my brain chemistry (Lemon by Kenshi Yonezu). It's got angst but also little moments of fluff and hurt/comfort (to make the angst even stronger). It's got a lot of characters thinking about their emotions and feeling sorry for themselves. And it's something I put months into making just right.

It just has a lot of things that I like in my writing.

[northwest-cryptid]

I found this image on my computer, which; without context is probably EXTREMELY confusing but it kills me every time I see it

I cannot tell you how badly I wish I could explain this game to you all, more specifically the adventure I went on with Chester but all I have left from the streams is this recap, which if you can forgive my god awful voice/audio summarizes exactly nothing everything and shows just how often my audience abuses the sound/music alerts video below the read more so it shouldn't randomly auto-play for anyone:

So, right off the bat horribly sorry for my god awful voice gracing your ears.

Other than that, for people who don't know; Kenshi is possibly my favorite open world sandbox game because it genuinely has so much to offer. It has no goals, it has no morality system nor does it try to tell you what is right and wrong. Kenshi just puts you in the world and asks you to survive however you want.

In the playthrough I'm doing on my streams I am playing as Chester, who's literally an old man who was a slave, escaped slavery, and lost all of his limbs; he has since been re-enslaved but broken out several times. I've decided that since he has been mistreated directly by slavers he would seek to rid the world of the two factions in the game that heavily support slavery, those being The Holy Nation (who are essentially a parody of Extremist Christians with their sexist and racist beliefs that anyone who isn't a Greenlander Male needs to be someone else's slave, or be killed) and The United Cities (who are basically Capitalism, I would say "Capitalism to the extreme" but no that's implied by saying Capitalism in the first place. Wealth is everything to them, how you get it doesn't matter; sell drugs, sell people; who cares as long as you make money in the end) as a result his journey has taken him all over the world.

Now normally in Kenshi you play as a group of characters you can set up a base somewhere, start up productions and do whatever. Kenshi is really well designed in that the world will come to you and happen at you but it will never treat you like anyone special even if you become a big shot. Taking out a few Holy Nation Paladins will get you a bad rep with the Holy Nation but no one is going to call you an Anti-Slaver hero, but if you take down Holy Lord Phoenix himself, you'll start to get a name for yourself both good and bad depending on who you ask. For every ally you make you make an enemy of someone else. If you build in bandit territory they will demand food to not launch raids, if you build in Shek lands they want their tribute for your colonization, if you build in the United Cities you better be ready to pay taxes. The world feels alive no matter how you play, and Chester is something of a nomad who just wants to explore the world and have one last adventure while leaving the wastelands a more peaceful place than he came into it as.

My current playthrough off stream is actually 100% different, I'm a lone barkeeper who set up shop in one of the towns of the United Cities, I would buy slaves and release them if they chose to stay with me I'd give them a job working at my pub. I was literally just a humble barkeep. Eventually I had the whole situation automated, we have robots manning everything, one running well water to the farmer, one working the farms harvesting crops and turning them into usable ingredients, another taking the ingredients and preparing food, another running that food to the front desk for sales, it was an elaborate and beautiful pipeline delivering grog, sake, and plenty of rice to the fine people of Stoat while simultaneously ridding the UC (United Cities) of their slaves, with the money lining my pockets it wasn't hard to buy out every slave shop I came across, and just release the slaves.

Oh yea and I have modded the game to all hell without a care as to what I was actually modding in, which means everything from vroid models to dinosaurs to uh... warframe grineer? For some reason?

So my playthrough kinda looks like this:

I kinda want to run you through this playthrough in hopes it will share some of why I love Kenshi with you. See the stats in this game are brutal and they only get better by being used. If you want to get tougher you need to be beaten, if you want to run faster you need to travel, if you want to make better clothing you need to do a lot of crafting. So with only 6 Athletics (which is nothing) and a dream, I took off to go get my Skeleton crew (Skeletons are the name for robots in this game) which are out in the Black Desert which suffers from constant acid rain and lightning storms... which are a slight problem, however that's not as much of a problem when I didn't even make it 5 minutes out the door before some bandits launched an assault on me because I happened to have a loaf of bread in my pocket, yea this game is UNFAIR and it's great but we'll get to why later.

^ See this in the bottom left? Those are your health bars, you don't get HP in this game you get values for your limbs. Your VITAL limbs are things like your head, chest, stomach, and obviously blood. The higher your toughness stat the lower those can go before you fall unconscious/die. However you can entirely lose arms and legs and still be okay, you can even craft your own limbs (or steal them in the case of Chester :P) to replace them, and in a lot of cases limbs are a trade off, maybe you're really strong but that strength means you don't have good finger dexterity so you can't pick locks or steal very well but you can bust open a door or hit someone really hard, scout legs for example give you a ton of movement speed as they're basically springs on your feet, but they don't have a lot of health value so if you get hit in the leg you're probably going down quick, not to mention you can't swim very well with large pieces of metal for legs. These trade offs are really fun and the way health values work in this game is something I hated at first but came to love as I played more.

Everything you survive in Kenshi literally makes you stronger, it's that age old saying "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" yea it's that cranked up to 11, because wouldn't you know it after hiring some robots at a pub (they can only drink grog because it's basically oil to them, and yes they have oil not blood as a stat; man the devs really put so much detail into this game it's so cute) I got struck by lightning and left out in acid rain... with literally no protection from it.

However if you notice most of my stats are in the green minus stomach and chest... and my left arm but my VITALS are doing better because I already took a beating getting here, and I got tougher for it! God I love that shit so much it's such a cool concept because it means you organically grow over the course of the game!

So anyways we get back to Stoat eventually (I had to get one of the robots to carry me) and we begin to properly set up shop, it's real cozy since there's no real conflict and I have plenty of money (called Cats) to spend on resources right now

I even started making and selling weapons and stuff! I eventually had enough money I bought ANOTHER building and decided to turn this one into a big farm, we'd use moister farming to condense water in the air since we're in the middle of the desert and wells out here kinda suck for consistent water supply, we'll continue the use of hydroponic farming and start bread production from grain silos, yes all of this shit matters; Kenshi is a complex game with lots of moving parts, I mean hell there's a whole graph for making robotic limbs and it's fantastic, you have to know what to make at what crafting station and where it all needs to go, and what research you need to do to unlock it all. This game makes you work for your reward and then properly gives you a fitting reward when you can make shit like this:

This whole thing is a blueprint that contains 3 different types of farms (Vegetables, Rice, and Wheat) a grain silo to turn the wheat to flour, then an oven for baking that flour to bread, as well as Grog, Rum, and Sake distilleries, storage for it all, as well as 4 stoves all set to make various foods from the farms, the floor above this houses 6 water condensers that will generate passive water for us so the farms won't dry out, and you know what? This all pays off, we make literally over 100k just selling various foods and drink that cost nothing for us to make since we can now grow it all in house!

Just to give you an idea, there was a moment like this for Chester too, except Chester's moment was when he tracked down a tyrannical Skeleton warlord who had been literally making skeletons go haywire so he could have an army to commit genocide on anyone and everyone, Chester couldn't fight through the literal hundreds of thralled skeletons so instead we used stealth which we had been training for a good while now; and snuck into his throne room before carefully sneaking up and assassinating him. It turns out he has one of the strongest weapons in the game, something called a "Meitou Falling Sun" which is actually really important because the "Meitou" in that name is the weapon's grade, Meitou is a grade only given to 1 of each class of weapon, forged by an ancient blacksmith named Cross who was renowned as a legendary blacksmith who made top tier weapons. Now the Falling Sun is still WAY too heavy for Chester to use properly, but he was able to grab the warlord and turn him in to an anti-slaver group for a bounty, fun fact about that the anti-slaver group is ran by another Skeleton who used to be friends with said warlord but didn't agree with his system of going to war, and instead became an anti-slaver gigachad who doesn't even fight with a weapon.

Notice how in my Barkeeper run my big moment was automating a farm + kitchen combo and decorating my bar to be nice and fancy; but for Chester it was basically an elaborate stealth mission to assassinate/Stealth KO a warlord and change the global politics of the game entirely? Yea that's the freedom this game gives you, you will get these big rewarding moments no matter how you play. In one of my playthroughs that rewarding moment was hunting down a slaver group who had taken one of my characters and enslaved them, I broke everyone out of the camp including my old team member and despite effectively only getting back to square 1 (having both my party members in the party again) it felt super cool and rewarding to break them out of this elaborate slave prison and set everyone free to help me fight off the guards, because my whole playthrough changed when they got captured, suddenly I cared a lot more about lock picking and stealth and everything else took a backseat, I joined a group of ninjas and had them train me so I could sneak in and pick all the locks before opening all the cages and arming all the slaves with weapons from the storage rooms. Kenshi is an entirely unique experience every playthrough and speaking of playthroughs after I upgraded my bar I decided to take a little vacation out of the desert to go pick up some more friends, this time I figured I'd get some fleshy new hires since I want to diversify a little bit. While I was out, this Beak Thing (large carnivore creatures who when the game was released, could accidentally talk and would absolutely destroy you before saying "relax, enjoy death" which is the most terrifying shit) got stuck in our grog room

But he's still only a pup so we can't legally give him any alcohol, don't worry; he still hasn't left and he's now an Elder. I am trying to find the guy who will sell him to me because he's become something of a mascot for the bar. He also doesn't fit anymore...

So you may be wondering if there's plot or anything and well, there kinda is; and it's super organic and I love it to death. Okay so let's back up, now that I have an automated system I've begun going town to town and buying a bar in each major town in the UC this allows me to make money in town and then buy out the slave market freeing any slaves and hiring any who want to stick around giving them a weapon more powerful than a sword in the UC; money. In doing so I wound up in a coastal town called Bark where I was approached by a young woman and this dialogue happend:

It's a little hard to read but I'll summarize if you're not able to read it; essentially she asks if I'm from around here and when I ask if there's a problem by any chance she tells me she somehow fucked up with nobility, which in the UC is a big deal; like a "they will kill you" big deal. She tells me she NEEDS to get out of town, so I ask her what she was involved in; remember that if I get a bad rep with the UC my bars will be raided, all the slaves I have employed will be killed, I won't be able to fight the system so for now I have to play nice and that means I can't be helping anyone out if it costs me my own skin; plus I'm not some super strong anime protagonist, I'm a fucking barkeeper! I have no stats for fighting at this point and can't very well go to war with the UC over one person as much as I may want to help everyone. She tells me it's all a conspiracy and someone ratted her out, she needs to be gone by the morning so I tell her I'll see what I can do; yes you can actually disguise people and sneak them over boarders in this game it's incredible. However she tells me she only needs about 3k to bribe the guards to look the other way, 3k is pretty much nothing to me at this point so I say sure. After which point she joins our squad, I am then approached by another young lady looking to join up and get out of town; sounds good to me but I kinda need people here to run the shop in this town so I attempted to have a bit of dialogue to figure out why she wanted out so bad;

But she's an absolute riot, she tells me she has a pet Gutter (a species of Beak Thing) named Grimes and how she apparently has had a steamy affair with the barman's daughter and then even goes so far as to try to show me her weird rash but I figured we knew enough and you know we stan a lesbian with a weird rash.

But I couldn't just leave them here if they weren't well protected; so I set up a small fishing camp, and taught them how to farm, I even bought them a house and made good sure Khida was safe to leave town if needed.

I even installed a little Gutter weathervane for Ojillo on their farm

This game just has so much charm! Though I really need to get these two some clothes, most characters spawn with pants but not shirts; but the game is never weird about it so meh I'll pick them up some leather jackets from the shop down the road from my pub.

Now remember how I said I'm physically pretty weak? And how I can't really fight yet? Well to fix that I went ahead and used the skills I do have (in crafting) to make myself some martial arts gear, in this case this absolute insanely modded mess of a game showed me I could make Goku's gi and you know I have never seen Dragon Ball but that wasn't going to stop me, I even found a guy selling some weird robotic enhancements and bought that to go with it.

I essentially waited around at the gates of Stoat for wildlife, bandits, or threats of any nature to attack the town and when the guards would get involved I'd just back them up, it was pretty safe and if I was knocked out I had my pub staff nearby with medkits to pick me up and haul my ass back to bed. After a LONG time of this I was finally skilled enough at dodging, tough enough to take hits when I couldn't dodge, and actually skilled enough with martial arts; to explore the wilds out by where Beak Things live, I was hoping to get some beak thing eggs since they sell for a good price and I could use them in cooking some really nice stuff to sell at my pub, would absolutely bring in higher paying clientele and I'm all about that.

Oh and while I was doing all of this, the rest of the world was still actively going on around me, remember how I said I was freeing slaves? They were starting to take notice of this, and one of my ex-slave employee's Frump went by the slave yard to free some more people when this really wholesome interaction happened:

Kenshi really does a great job of making the world feel like it's happening around you but at the same time, taking notice of you. I love stuff like this, it's genuinely cool to see slaves notice my faction and know they have a chance of escaping because I set slaves free; and yet they don't immediately trust me just off my reputation because that's the kind of world Kenshi is, it's a world where for all they know I "free" slaves and then shoot them for sport, or feed them to my pet dinosaur for fun. Oh yeah my pet dinosaur, about that.

So remember how I said I was going to go get beak thing eggs for profit and money? I found a Western Tyrant instead, or at least a Juvenile one; a quick fight later and it was knocked out, I patched it up and dragged it's ass back to my house in The Hub where I was greeted by none other than Elma from Xenoblade Chronicles X and 2b from NieR; why? Because MODS BAY-BEE WOOOO!

ANYWAYS we put it in a cage so it can't kill us and we feed it until it trusts us, we name it Gura because it will become an Apex Predator, and now we are best friends :D

Look at it! I love this thing! It's so cute! It's still a baby so I have to be careful not to let it get into fights with things that could easily kill it but it's a tanky beast and I'm keeping it safe. Well...

OKAY LISTEN IT'S OKAY! THE RAGDOLL PHYSICS ARE JUST HILARIOUSLY WEIRD IN THIS GAME BUT I PROMISE IT'S OKAY!

On my way back to Stoat I found a group of nomads who were also traveling with animals and I decided to follow them, strength in numbers and all that; we're all friends here.

This game is honestly beautiful to me even on low settings; I love looking up from the desert wasteland and seeing huge planets floating over the horizon it really sells me on the scale of this world.

Eventually we got to a town where I hadn't had a chance to set up a shop, the Nomads just brought me to an entirely new place; so I ran by the local bar to pick up a new hire and well, interview went great!

I literally asked if they had any potential skills they said no, and I hired them on the spot!

Oh yea I also found a guy getting chased around by a "processor unit" which are basically robotic vulture raptors that eat dying things; he was beat up pretty bad in a fight and woke up from his recovery coma because the unit was eating his flesh, and then the pathfinding decided he should RUN IN CIRCLES

So I see this looney tunes bullshit off in the distance while I'm traveling; gotta love it. Good luck dude! Some say he's still out there running in circles to this day.

This happened by the way because he was trying to attack the unit, and the unit was trying to attack him and the pathfinding wouldn't just let him turn around, and dear lord it was hilarious.

I was also laughing really hard because I sent my friends THIS picture which looks like the most generic youtube clickbait thumbnail, but was meant to express how much hell I was going through trying to transport all my goods over to the next town which was so heavy I couldn't move faster than 4 mph but of course there were a ton of things in the desert at this exact time of day, that want me dead:

I guess what I'm trying to say with this extremely long rambling, is that I genuinely love Kenshi for how much love and care and soul it has. Every character I encounter has a story, something to say, something to do. I wander into a town and someone tells me about this legend they heard and they want to join me to go hunt down some treasure somewhere, or I'll stumble into a pirate town where anyone who doesn't know the pirate code is immediately taken in to become a slave and work your way up through the ranks because you're an obvious outsider; but you can buy a pirate code book off a drunk guy super cheap at a bar and then pretend to know enough to not get caught. Sometimes I'm running through a place just for travel and stumble upon "Skin Bandits" who are Skeletons who think they're human, and they're all friends with a human who's their leader; and made them "peeler machines" to peel the flesh off their "flesh brothers" and wear the skin as a suit; genuine horror shit right there and I love it. Kenshi has so much packed into it, you could be a leviathan hunter seeking riches from battling behemoths that roam the land, or you could be a barkeeper who just wants to settle down in a quiet town and run a shop, or you could be an anti-slaver and free the oppressed people of the world; and hell there's nothing saying you have to play this way. If you prefer to be a morally bad person in games you can join the Holy Nation, you can become a slave trader; you can steal and kill to your hearts content because the game will never point a finger at you and say "you're being morally bad and mean and rude!" Instead you are chased down by the police, you might have to break out of jail, you might have to fight and die to get out of prison or to get away because you may get caught trying to rob people. Kenshi is immersive because it never tells you "no" outright, it plays like a huge game of D&D where everything is fair to the point of being brutal and unfair. Like the game doesn't deem you anyone important, you're just another person; so every choice you make matters but not in some grand scheme kind of way.

And what's really cool about it is, if you do want to be some important person, you can do that too! If you take out a big political name, someone else will make moves to take their place; other factions will move into the land and take up residency and you can sway how the game map will turn out. You can help the Shek reclaim their land, you can help the Holy Nation colonize everything, you can help the United Cities get even richer, or you can hang out in the swamps with the turtles; they're cute as fuck dude I love those little guys.

Yes the game is buggy, and yes you should probably mod the fuck out of it because there's a ton of ways to cheese it and honestly sometimes a bit of quality of life mods can go a long ways toward making a game more fun.

But I ultimately think this game deserves a look if you're into these sort of genres; explore the world, see what it has to offer; and just have fun with it. If you're curious and don't wanna play it yourself you're always welcome to check out my streams, Chester's quest to get all his stats to 100 is about to start back up again, we still need to put an end to the Holy Nation and make Chester the gigachad he deserves to be; so if you can handle my absolutely aggravating voice come hang out if you feel inclined.

Anyhow thanks for reading all of this, hope you enjoyed it; I could gush about Kenshi and it's little details all day but I'll spare you since this post is long enough as it is.

[the-moon-and-sea]

Trying something new bc im bored. Please imagine all the parenthesis are footnotes.

I have decided I'm going to watch the new Ghibli movie when it comes out. I saw ads for it in Japan (just posters on the movie theater wall at the mall, they intentionally didn't advertise the movie At All before releasing it there) and it was more intriguing than some of the other movies coming out (looking at you, ghibli look-alike about a chair??? who okayed that premise) but the timing wasn't right, plus I'd have to watch it all in actual Japanese and while I could do that for something simple like Way of the Househusband (great movie btw but I didn't know enough lore apparently) I figured I'd want to follow this one a bit better. Plus, my boy Yonezu Kenshi contributed to the soundtrack, so I have to watch it to support.

This movie is the first in a while (I'm not googling to see if this is correct) with the old duo of Hayao Miyazaki and Joe Hisaishi, and while there have been....other movies in the last 10 or so years....miss little witch etc was never very compelling for me. But based on the barely-over-a-minute trailer...I'm ready. We've got the creepy soundtrack, the same solid style, but somehow a level up in the animation?! some random old ladies, cute spirits, it's got it all. What it also has, very importantly, is a war reference. We all know Miyazaki remains heavily influenced by his nostalgia of wartime Japan (and aren't all of us (Please Read/Watch In This Corner Of The World)) so it's not surprising to see some bombings here. Some fire there. I'll bet you $5 there will be a plane in there somewhere. Mans loves his planes.

Anyway add onto that the ~mystical elements~ weebs like to love about Japan (please read Orientalism by Edward Said also) and I'm sure this will sell well. And I'm also sure, I'm probably gonna love it lmao

I was reading the official description on GKids which I guess is the site of the producer and distributer in America, and they mention Yonezu, my boy, right under Miyazaki. Joe isn't there. Poor guy. Anyway they say about Yonezu: "After posting a series of Vocaloid tracks under the moniker Hachi, Kenshi Yonezu distinguished himself from the crowd with remarkable results." This is. a severe understatement. I think I might end up writing my thesis on Vocaloid and the impact it STILL has on children today in America and Japan (my kids always played popular songs during lunch/cleaning and during sports, basically anytime the broadcast club had control; some of the kids in the art club literally only drew Ms Miku fanart) and amongst that Huge Library of Music (I won't call it a genre bc thats not what it is), Hachi was like. Top 10 if not Top 5 if not Top 3 most popular. If you listened to vocaloid at all before 2016 you know Matryoshka. That's Hachi. He was a wonder to all of us middle schoolers. More recently, he came out with Sand Planet, about the way time has changed Vocaloid and the people who enjoy and produce it. It was also really cool.

I learned about his Real Name career a bit after it had happened. I stumbled on Mad Head Love one day on my youtube rabbit holes, and it slapped, and I was like oh it's that guy. But then I lost track, forgot his name, and generally wished him well from afar. And then ! I refound him! And have loved him ever since (not really some of his recent stuff is weird but - actually hang on lemme actually write this)

Recently, and I mean in the last oh 3 or so years, he's done what a lot of popular Japanese artists do - make anime music. Some of it's okay, some of it is Absolutely His Thing, and some of it is like every other anime op ever and not very impressive. Spinning Globe (the song in this movie) is Pretty Good I think. I listened to it while crying on the plane on the way back to America. The lyrics are simple and easy to understand, it's got his plodding beat and an easy background. I could probably transcribe the piano part in 15 minutes. "The day I heard a voice patting me on the back, telling me to go ahead" is like. well it was really relevant to my personal time in Japan and a lot of the issues I've been facing so maybe I'm biased!

Yonezu is so popular that he literally wrote a song for the Tokyo Olympics. He represents Japan. He has been a top singer in Japan for 10 years. This started with his landslide take over of Vocaloid music. Even my students who didn't know literally any celebrity knew him. And I know this is the English website so they probably don't expect anyone to know who he is, and don't care about the understatement, but listen. Yonezu if you're out there and you want anyone to write you PR in English. I've got u.

The Japanese title is 君たちはどう生きるか. It's based on a book of the same name from 2016. I'd literally translate that title as "How do you live" with the 'you' being plural, like 'you all'. I don't know anything about it. It's apparently semi-autobiographical. But they've chosen to translate the title as "The Boy and the Heron," the choice of which could be a thesis in itself. But I wish it had come out just a little sooner, because one of my favorite games to play with my kids was getting them to guess titles to ghibli movies in English and they would've lost their minds over this one.

[chiarrara]

when u get this, list 5 songs u like to listen to, publish. then, send this ask to 10 of your favorite followers (positivity is cool) <333

Heyyy bestie!! Ask games real? I mostly listen to anime music rn don't judge me friends:

「星が泳ぐ」 "Hoshi ga Oyogu" by Macaroni Empitsu

First OP to Summer Time Rendering. This song got me so excited every time I started a new episode. I watched it this summer, usually in the middle of the night and I would just sink so deep into the vibes and get consumed watching an episode. I hated when they switched OPs, but I kept listening to this one every time I smoked on my sister's fire escape for a while.

2. Absolute Zero by natori

Wind Breaker OP!! Every time this played it made me wanna scream. I would blast the volume, and dance along, and sing the 'superhero' bit, and do the shoulder flick thing they do with their jackets, lol. It's soooo hype, and the MV is very cool and stylish. I wanna listen to more of his stuff.

3. 逆夢 "Sakayume" by King Gnu

This is my favorite band, and my favorite song. I have listened to this on repeat so many times in the last year. It's the first credit song from JJK 0, and I think it made me cry the first time I heard it. Reading the translated lyrics probably did it again. And oh my goodness, the set in this music video, my god. I love the lead singer's voice, I love basically everything they do. Great song, give it a listen.

4. KICKBACK by Kenshi Yonezu

CHAINSAW MAN OP CHAINSAW MAN OP!! I really had a hard time deciding between the OP and the artist's MV because the OP is sooooo good, but the full song is great and the music video is really funny. The way this song just sinks into your bones with the BROOOM of the chainsaw and the deep ass base line at the beginning. Ugh, I love this song so much. On repeat.

5. 我がまま "Wagamama" by Whaledontsleep

This song edged out the two below the cut just because the music video is so good. OP for Senpai is an Otokonoko, a show that just finished airing a few weeks ago and is one of my new favorites. This artist did the OP and collaborated on the ED. Both are so sing-along-able and both made me cry by the final episode. Perfect pick for this show, and again the music video is great. I didn't see what it was doing until 1:47 but when I did it made me so happy.

HONORABLE MENTIONS:

6. Махаббат бер маган by Dimash Qudaibergen

This man is probably the best vocalist in the entire world. Incredible Kazakh artist, he has a crazy range, sings in 12 languages including Kazakh which is a criminally underrepresented and oppressed language. This song is so beautiful and my favorite by him.

7. POP IN 2 by B-Komachi from Oshi no Ko

I have been absolutely obsessed with this song for the last 3 weeks. I've listened to it played on calculators. I've watched so many people do the dance. I learned half the lyrics. The full song is good, but the MV short is just so artistically exciting. Everytime they zoom into Ruby's black eyes it gives me a chill. It's a bop with a dark undertone, like everything in OnK. I love it.

Check out my authentic 2011 indie kid playlist with full liner notes if you want to know what music I was listening to in English 15 years ago. XOXO

[apollosbirthdayplaylist]

december playlist

to my dear friend Noah, you asked me what I am listening to right now, so let's go

It's december, good time to still feel [alive], or at least half alive. Apparently I am super late to the party as per usual, but the lyrics are giving strong sound of silence vibes but with extra spite - and who doesn't appreciate spiteful aspiration. The sound is fat but not overproduced, the singer knows when it's time to yell and like I said - everyone knew about this song except for me and hopefully you too haha.

Can you believe it's been over a year since I first listened to Fujii Kaze (藤井風)? Given how wholly his music has taken over my life and the fact that 4 of his songs are still in my top 10 most played songs of all time (and yes, that one live version is still part of it, the corresponding studio version is in 12th place), it's no surprise what comes next. 花 (hana, flower) comes along in 2 versions - a delightful 80s pop version and the ballad. I think you'll really like this one

Amanda is putting out an EP in January and probably not too long after that - there will be a new Dresden Dolls album. They're touring, recording, writing, right now; you know I'm really excited about that. This one is one of the Aotearoa, New Zealand singles featuring Julia Deans. Oh I owe you, little island. Little island - bigger than the sun! Some of us are proud of what we fought for, some of us are proud of how far we could run. [...] Some of us are proud of where we came from. Some of us have to settle being proud that we got away.

I saw Yunchan Lim (임윤찬) winning one of the most important piano competitions and he immediately became my new favorite pianist. This Liszt piece is Liebestraum Nummer 3, based on the poem "O lieb, solang du lieben kannst" (link)

Yonezu Kenshi (米津玄師) has also become a new favorite of mine. His grasp of arrangement both using electronic sounds and orchestration is really unique. I had a hard time selecting just one song of his but I settled on these two with distinctly different sounds:

優しい人 (yasashii hito, kind person), with a deep somberness

まちがいさがし (machigai sagashi, find the difference)

and no list would be complete without everybody being worried about Owen. Alexandria Burning from their album from this year is still in my permanent rotation

Loïc Nottet finally went all french for his latest album. This entire album feels less like a departure from his previous stuff (although it IS substantially different) and more like an arrival - everything falls into place with this one and he is both diverse in his sound and fundamentally recognizable - this song really exemplifies his artistic range (no, the high singing notes are somewhere else, you know I love those).

I don't know if I can get you with Bear Ghost but they are whimsical, fun and unreasonably talented + they made a song about being in love with yourself (or the voice in your head? the jury is still out) and ending a relationship because of it: relatable content. They call their genre adventure rock and yeah, I can see that, it's theatrical, there are influences from various rock genres and it almost dares you to imagine it as a rock opera, haha

let me know if you like some of this <3

[gildedmuse]

OK look I just watched One Piece: Film Gold, and I just need to talk about the OUTFITS for a second here… specifically Zoro’s.

They’re all good, don’t get me wrong, but the CATSUIT

I mean…

Just imagine Zoro wearing this with Law’s pirate flag on the back as a uniform… Law wouldn’t get anything done.

Or Mihawk seeing this? He would absolutely HAVE to fight Zoro the second he saw what he was wearing… obviously to test how far Zoro has come along - no other reason

I mean come on! He’s literally doing the Black Widow pose here!

Sorry for yelling but no one ever seems to talk about this outfit so I needed to talk to SOMEONE about how good this look is!!

It's not just a shared fashion sense, Zoro actually has a lot in common with Black Widow. They both like to pretend they're the Realistic & Serious Faced teammate, but neither of them bother to zip their "tactical" cat suit more than halfway up at any time, and spend a ridiculous amount of time giving all their gear/attacks thematically matching names. To be fair, are YOU going to be the baddie who informs them that, actually, no one really notices any of that since they tend to be busy, you know, running for their lives....

This reminded me that I currently have roughly 400 screencaps from One Piece: Gold on my phone. I keep meaning to write up some reviews of the movies, since I know a lot of fans don't bother to watch them, but at the same time so many are....

Well, what's a good way to put this?

Oh, right: Gay As Fuck (For Zoro). THAT'S the good way to say it, the good and accurate way. The One Piece films may not be canon, but they are definitely Gay As Fuck (For Zoro).

It's sort of one of their running themes.

[Okay, so I know I'm a Zoro fan and have the habit of making things more about him than they really are but also.... I didn't write this dialogue. You can't pin that on me.]

The cat suit definitely gets points for looking like how I imagine Zoro would look if Law put him in one of those baggy boiler suits he has for the rest of the crew. He has every intention of keeping Zoro-ya safe from the wandering gaze of all those perverts out there (*openly glaring at Mihawk*) who would use any excuse to oogle HIS Kenshi-ya. Actually, multiple movies have provided a great way to illustrate Law's relationship with how Vice Captain Zoro looks wearing a Heart Pirate uniform.

Like, Law went for Heart Of Gold:

Something that would probably protect Zoro-ya from the cold, you know, and also all those longing gazes and eager hands and stretchy arms and - maybe they should just get Zoro-ya a suit made of sea stone. And less of a suit more of a cage.

But it's Zoro, and no matter how much you bundle him up, you can't contain that much hotness (or that much muscle).

So he ends up more Stampede:

[For the record, I am still pissed that they have us a movie based around pirate*con - which anyone who has been to a convention can tell you are basically hook up parties but with much better costumes - that included Law as a central character and even put Zoro in what is CLEARLY some All Hearts Cosplay a knock off Hearts Pirate uniform, and yet the boys almost never actually interact. That's how you know the threat is real: Law didn't get on the SunnyGo, take one look at Zoro and immediately stop mid-sentence. "It's more dire than I had assumed, Mugiwara-ya." *Eying Zoro up and down* "I'm working on new strategy, and I will need to borrow your swordsmen. It's the only way to make me come. Make him come to us. Whatever. ROOOOOM! SHAMBLES!"]

[Oh, but don't worry. Law may not have shown up just to stand there openly staring at Zoro's ass, but at least one sword welding former shichibukai has that covered. Because these movies are just so very, very gay for Zoro.]

I imagine Bepo tried doing that thing up so many times the zipper eventually came off. Well, someone has to look out for their little kenshi's modesty! Sure, it's a little less dressed than Law would like others to see Zoro-ya (and a little more dressed than Law wants him) but he's in uniform and it fits and shows off Law 's jolly Roger, that's what's important.

Skip ahead two years and Zoro has filled out quite a bit. Like.... quite a bit. Honestly, no one even expects that old boiler suit of his to even fit anymore.

But Zoro isn't going to eschew his captain's jolly Roger just because he got a little bigger and the stupid suit a little smaller (Penguin: That's not what happened....) So he pulls it on and, hey, look! It's a bit tight in some places but it still fits.

It fits like Gold:

No, seriously, look at his arms in this shirt. Whoever made these clothes was definitely working with a devil's fruit because that suit looks like sin on him and makes people wet and weak.

Of course, on a story telling level, I have to be objective and point out that the outfit was clearly a mistake. Just look at the way it hugs that boy's muscles. It makes it impossible NOT to emphasize with the bad guy. After all, given half the chance, I can't promise I also wouldn't try and kidnap Zoro and ask him to "repay his debt" to me on my private island where prostitution is definitely legal.

Night out in the Town. (Part 1??)

At the Special Forces base, General Sonya Blade just finished looking over some schematics with one of her officers about Netherrealm.

"Get this to Commander Cage. She'll take it from here."

After the officer saluted Sonya, Johnny Cage walked up next to his wife. "General. Slow day?"

Sonya sighed as she turned to Johnny. "Slow isn't the word. I just want to make sure we're ready just in case another attack happens. I even feel like somehow Kronika will return-"

Johnny placed his hands on Sonya's shoulders. "Honey, relax. You're way too tense and overthinking things."

"But-"

Johnny placed a finger on her lips. "Shh Shh Shh. No. What you need is a night out from all of this."

Sonya shook her head. "I would want to but we still..."

"Sonya. Trust me. Earthrealm is in good hands. You made sure it was. Not only Raiden made sure but Lord Liu Liu and Ninja Princess with Outworld now allies again. Then lets not forget our kick ass private pumpkin we raised to be as tough as her mother."

Sonya laughed slightly. "You're right. I'm just paranoid because being in this too long. I could have a night out.."

"It's on!" Johnny said excited. "Now how about inviting some friends along?"

Sonya placed her hands on her hips. "If you haven't noticed Cage, we don't have many friends. As you said, Kitana is now Kahn of Outworld, Liu Kang is a God and Kenshi doing some father and son bonding with Takeda."

"There is Jax."

"Despite my feelings, he barely can put up with you for ten minutes."

Johnny frowned but smiled. "I know a couple of guys..."

Sonya shook her head. "Johnny no. Leave them alone."

"Trust me, Sonya. I got a plan."

"Johnny Cage. Do. Not. Go. There. I don't trust you as far as I throw you."

"Well General, you have no choice but to trust me."

At the Lin Kuei Temple.

"Grandmaster Sub-Zero!"

Kuai Liang turned around as he faced one of his disciples rushing in their meditation chamber. After bowing to each other, Kuai Liang placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Speak."

"Grandmaster, you have a visitor."

Kuai raised a eyebrow in interest. "Now, who is this visitor?"

"I do not know, Grandmaster. But he requested to inform Mr. Frosty the Snowman that he has arrived."

Kuai Liang stopped and groaned at the known nickname. He hurried to the grand entrance of the temple and to his eyes, it's who he feared.

"Cage"

Johnny waved at Kuai Liang. "Hey Mr. Frosty!"

"Earthrealm isn't in danger...so what do I owe for the unpleasent visit?" Kuai Liang said as he walked down the stairs and approached the annoying movie star.

"Hey now, don't be a slushy, Frosty. I'm here for a small proposal."

Kuai Liang slowly crossed his arms across his chest. "And what do you propose, Cage?"

"Well....Sonya and I are taking a night off from the demons and the time travel crap and we would like to know, would you want to join?"

"I do not have time to socialize, Cage. I told you this in the past."

"But-"

"I must decline. You know I have other things to deal with." Sub-Zero stared to walk away.

".....That's too bad. A certain Yellow Ninja would be so disappointed." Johnny said. He watched Kuai Liang stopped in his tracks.

".......Grandmaster Hasashi is joining?" Kuai asked in curiosity.

"Oh yeah...he was so happy to hear you was coming. He was so easily convinced." Johnny winced lowkey to the memory.

At The Fire Garden.

Johnny dodged a huge flaming fireball that was hurled at him. "Geez!"

Hanzo Hasashi stood out his temple with his spear in his hands glaring hard at the hollywood actor. "You think you have the right to come to my temple and talk about Kuai Liang in spite and our bond?" He grips his spear and his chains started to heat up. "You will BURN, Johnny Cage!"

"Whoa! Hey! Hang on, Ghost Ryder! I wasn't saying anything bad! I was saying you might want to see Mr. Frosty-" Johnny stopped as he dodged the flaming spear. "Ok Ok! I'll stop with the jokes! I just saying you and he like to come out with me and Sonya."

Hanzo retracked his spear. "As much discipline and honor the General has, her fate has to put up with a child like you."

"Welllll...I have a great ass." Johnny smirk fell as he sees Hanzo glared. "Look Flames. He agreed to come if you do. So why not have a night off. What else you do but stay cooped up in a shed and sleep."

"Your ignorance is your downfall, Cage." Hanzo lowkey admit it would be nice to have a relaxing night without killing or saving the world. A huge plus is to see Kual Liang again. He wouldn't admit it to Cage.

"So how about it, Pyro? It would sadden Frostbite badly." Johnny said.

Hanzo narrowed his eyes at the adult child. "We'll see." He turned his back away from Johnny.

Back to the Lin Kuei's Temple.

"He would be so disappointed if his favorite ice ninja don't show up." Johnny looked at Kuai Liang with a small sad frown. "Don't want to stand him up....right?"

Kuai Liang thought about it. "Alright Cage. I'll be there."

Johnny smiled. "Good! I'll send a message to when to be ready!" Before Kuai could respond, Johnny was out the temple's door. Johnny pulled out his phone and chuckled. "General, mission accomplished."

Sonya sighed. "How did you get them to agree to come?"

"Ooh...I have my ways." Johnny smirked. "Pick out something nice. We're going out!"

What Did I Translate in 2018?

Kenshi and Ermac in the Armageddon Intro

Like it says on the tin, this is a post grossly highlighting Ermac and Kenshi’s (both together and separately) moments in the intro to MK: Armageddon; it might seems like an odd and sparse choice of topic, but these two actually get quite of special screentime. So fite. 

I’ll also be adding some history and background n’ stuff so it’ll be somewhat educational And yeah it’s kenmac toned so if you don’t like that, iunno what you’re doing here

Long-ass post ahead: 

Just a side note that it can get really hard to distinguish who’s-who in this mess, especially when it seems like EVERYONE’S palette contains black and red— the best way to spot Ermac is the fact that he has red sleeves and pants with a black ‘mask’, and for Kenshi he has his white sash. Good luck parsing pixels

In the very first we see these two, they’re side-by-side (of course) charging in with the Forces of Light. Something interesting to note is that according to lore, Kenshi was actually the one appointed to lead the Forces of Light into battle... Maybe more strategically than literally.  When the two sides clash (the Forces of Light coming in from the right in the gif below), Kenshi immediately get kicked in the face and down by Hsu Hao; Ermac comes barelling in and CLOTHESLINES Rain (who is not seen for the rest of the battle, F) and keeps charging forward after. 

After the fighting starts, we see Kenshi continuing to fight Hsu Hao in the background

It’s expected that these two would go after eachother, since Hsu Hao is part of the Red Dragon (he’s like an important member or something but I’m not polished on my Hsu Hao lore). Kenshi’s been on a mission to take down the Red Dragon ever since Deadly Alliance, where Mavado (Red Dragon’s leader) nearly killed him. It’s implied that that’s what Kenshi’s been doing since Deception.  And to compound on this, a time later we see Kenshi fighting Mavado himself in the background

And meanwhile, we see Ermac fighting Kabal... idk why

So then the pyramid rises, people start running up the pyramid, and for the first bit Ermac and Kenshi are still fighting at the base of the pyrami.  Something that I noticed for the first time when putting this together, is that Ermac actually runs BACK into the fight, away from the pyramid

Which is... really interest, especially considering what happens later. 

Unfortunately for the fights on the ground, I can’t really tell who they’re fighting... I think Kenshi may be fighting Hotaru, I have no idea for Ermac. 

Edit: QUAN CHI. ERMAC’S FIGHTING QUAN CHI.

We get a solid look at the boys again after Sheeva takes up the lead. As she turns around, Ermac is running up the pyramid beside Nightwolf, with Kenshi running behind Ermac. Sheeva grabs both Ermac and Nightwolf by the neck— and immediately gets gutted by Kenshi. 

Ermac (and Nightwolf) is thrown to the ground. Kenshi finishes her off with a strike to the back, then is immediately engaged by Quan Chi. You can see Ermac lying on the ground as they fight

Quan Chi and Kenshi have an epic duel, but Quan Chi is a dirty cheater and using two swords

Just before and as Kenshi gets stabbed and taken down by Quan Chi, Ermac is running back up the steps

And then this just kills me cause of how Ermac runs for Kenshi first THEN turns to Quan Chi but then I just get pissed off and sad because of what’s really happening more on that later

Ermac yeets Quan Chi away

Then he turns back to Kenshi and it’s like :,D but it goes D,: real quick because NRS pulls the dickest move of all time and oh my god it’s actually Shang Tsung as Ermac and he jumps on Kenshi’s chest to finish him off

oh my god Kenshi remains dead/dying at Tsung’s feet until Shao Kahn comes in and he magically disappears

Okay I’m going to reblog further discussion from this post so if you’re interested in further thoughts/analysis check the notes

But yeah. These two’s relationships is remarkably relevant, so much that NRS intentionally shattered our hopes and dreams with it

Hi Erika! For your ask game, can I ask, edelweiss, palm tree, and mahonia? Thank you! 🥰

Of course you can ask those questions, Acacia! And I shall happily answer~!

.....

Edelweiss: How’d you think of your url/username? what’s it associated with to you?

Well, I first set up my tumblr account thanks to my friend Steph/@cringeyvanillamilk. And because she had a goofy, drink-themed name, I decided to base my own blog name on a drink. And I decided to name my blog after ramune, a popular drink in Japan, which is known for the little marbles used to seal the bottles~!

And my blog name is more specifically a ramune bottle that I was able to get the marble out of. So the marble was on the loose!

Here's the bottle.

Palm tree: Do you have a fictional villain you shouldn’t like but love regardless?

Hmmm... The thing about me is that I rarely find myself liking villainous characters. I can appreciate villains for the roles they play but I've never liked a villain, platonically or as a fictional crush. Although, looking back, I did feel drawn to a villain character back in the day (although since then he has been reformed to heroism).

Erik, you fine bastard...

It's the deep and husky voice, the killer expression, the poison powers, the scarred eye, the draconic powers, the devotion to his dearly beloved snake friend/girlfriend... He's got so much going on with him.

Also, Stage Play Cobra...

Witchcraft. Very handsome witchcraft...

But alas, Cobra became a good guy, so does it really count as liking a villain if he's reformed?

I don't know what it is but my affinity for villains is just really low...

Oh... Wait...

Wait I do love a villain!

Fufufu~! Morgen's my lovable little evil guy~!

Mahonia: What place, thing, activity inspires you most and how do you express yourself when it does?

I think one thing that really inspires me is music. Especially the work of Kenshi Yonezu. I've written up song and ship analysis with his songs and based a fic around one of his works. I honestly think some of my characterization of the Faust twins has also been affected by Yonezu's music (and there will be some elaboration on that another day). Honestly, the stories and messages he conveys through his music really get to me. I feel inspired when I listen to his songs. Sometimes for better (when I actually write stuff down) or worse (when I just brainrot with the songs in my head/lh).
