Stream Recap, GoodTimesWithScar, 6/26/24

((Geez louise, ten thousand words on this bad boy, it took literally a full day and evening. Worth it though, because this one is jam packed! So many meetings with friends, so many wild mob encounters, so much death! I ended up needing to do detailed recap on all but the last half hour, which was Disney talk that can be watched on the VOD for anyone who would like to.))

9:15 Scar starts his stream in studio view, imploring his audio to “please work” after the madness of last stream. Audio is fine today. Scar is relieved. He greets Chat and shows off the ConCorp shirt he found in his closet. Today’s plan is to hunt mobs and look at spoilers. Scar didn’t finish the video he was hoping to, but he’s going to show off what he’s done, and he’s going to get a Magic Hands Man for the villain car! He thanks subs and donos. Chat asks how he’s doing, he is okay and they’re all going to have some fun today! There are a lot of subs and donos coming in today.

12:30 Some voice donos come in wishing Scar luck on the surgery and commenting on how funny the echo stream was. ((In Scar’s 6/23 stream an audio issue that ran almost 40 minutes caused endless audio looping and much hilarity and distress for Scar.)) Scar laughs and admits he thought about cutting that portion out of the VOD but decided to leave it in because it was funny. Chat agrees that was a great decision. Scar says that the VOD channel has been doing really well for hits lately, people must like it! A lot of chatters use Scar as comfortable background atmosphere and he is very cool with that.

16:03 Chat notices that the broken headset is still conspicuously unburied and unsent to a nice farm. Scar shows off the brand new duct tape job he has done, conveniently ignoring his promise last stream to get new headphones. The headphone is visibly sliding down the side of Scar’s head. Scar switches to game view, where he is standing on top of Ore Mountain with an amazing view of the Magic Mountain dig site. He tells chat that someone is trying to frame him as the Ore Snatcher! Not for the first time, either! This is especially egregious considering that Scar is the chief investigator. Scar shows Chat the landscaping he has been working on, an artificial extension to the river with an engineered shoreline, then tells them to ignore it because it is not finished yet.

18:00 Scar shows chat his rocket shulker, which he left in front of the train last night. Sometime last night between the time Scar signed off around 11:30pm and the time he came back, the Ore Snatcher struck! Scar opens the shulker and reveals five deepslate diamond ore blocks, each one named “Doc’s Diamond Ore.” Scar thought there were only four ore missing, but Chat corrects him to six. Scar is a bit embarrassed to realize the chief investigator did not know that. He makes a notation in the Scroll of Scrolls. He also notes that whoever the Ore Snatcher is, they probably smell bad.

19:40 A voice dono message comes through and Scar misses it. He admits to Chat that while he wants to hang onto his headphones as long as possible, the left side doesn’t actually, you know, _work_ anymore, and that makes some things very hard to hear. A chatter sends Scar a tip to watch the clip in his Discord channel. Joe and Cub are super sus. Scar agrees that all this finger-pointing is indeed super-sus. His lead mod signs on and Scar opens the rocket box again to show off the framing evidence. It is sus to name the diamond ore as well, very sus.

21:25 Scar is briefly distracted quizzing chat on the name of his rocket box, which is “272,300 – RP-1.” Chat is mostly baffled, guesses maybe coordinates, but one clever chatter correctly guesses that it is the amount of RP1 rocket fuel needed for the Falcon 9. Chat is impressed by the deep dive, if nothing else. He shows off his other box, which is “810,700 – RP-1,” which is the amount needed for the Saturn rocket. Chat agrees that Scar is a nerd.

22:35 Time for work! Scar tries to remember what work he wanted to do today. He remembers, magic hands man acquisition! He explains that there is an empty village behind Bdubs’ base with a single nitwit safely buried underground. This is just enough village to trigger a raid. But once a raid is triggered and the evoker is acquired, how to get it back? Scar’s theory is that if he puts a magic hands man in the back of his boat and rows real fast, maybe it won’t be able to kill him. Chat agrees that rowing fast might be the only answer. Scar shows how the waterway goes all the way from the village to the train, so it would be perfect if he could avoid death. A ravager could also go in a boat, so he has the same question there. Chat doesn’t think it’s a good idea, but they really want to watch Scar try.

25:00 Scar says that he and Tango have fixed Minecraft. It is not right, he claims, that one cannot ride a ravager. The solution is to make rotten flesh useful by feeding it to ravagers in exchange for temporary riding privileges. Chat says sorry, Minecraft does not allow fun. Scar sighs agreement for that one. He promises once again that he will get lava for Frank, the sad cold strider. He shows off the Vindicator he has already secured in a boat, then gets ready for his adventure. He brings a lot of totems, mentioning that Hermitcraft operates by the laws of the high seas, which means that if somebody builds a farm in the ocean, it is okay to steal from it. Which he did. A voice chat about Genie+ puts Scar into Disney rant mode, but a second voice chat telling him that it’s Stitch Day distracts him and a third about Star Wars gets him ranting in a whole new direction. He shoots the bannerman he’s been keeping boated up and heads for the village.

30:30 Scar has decided to consider Star Wars TV shows as the McDonalds food of the franchise, good enough but not really filling or as good as you thought about it in your head. He’s also unhappy about how much more they are spending on The Acolyte than on House of Dragon for less result. Scar is loving House of Dragons though. He arrives at the village, starting an immediate raid, and begins wiping out pillagers. The problem with this particular village is that there are a lot of places for pillagers to hide. He finds two of the first wave hiding inside a building, and then can’t find the second wave at all. As he searches, he talks about Disney’s propensity for unnecessary sequels.

37:30 The raid is really lost. Chat tells Scar he should’ve brought the bell he stole from Doc on Day One. Scar thinks they might be right, because he clearly needs some help. A chatter makes a large donation and wishes Scar “Happy Stitch Day!” Scar is flustered, touched, grateful and slightly enraged. The raid is still nowhere to be seen, so Scar enables freecam mode and goes exploring. He doesn’t find the raid, but he dips down into the massive and impressive empty space left by Doc’s tunnel bore. Scar is impressed and makes a note to come down and grab some amethysts.

40:00 Scar consults the chat for help. They suggest up on the mountain and ringing the bell. Scar doesn’t have the bell, but he keeps looking. No luck. He needs help! Chat really thinks he should go get the bell (and turn on hitboxes.) Scar eventually goes to get the bell off Magic Mountain. He talks to Chat about his surgery, explaining that it is a less intense surgery than some he’s had before, mostly correcting stuff that was done wrong with his feeding tube back in 2021 and 2022. Hopefully he will not have to go under full anesthetic, which will substantially reduce recovery time but may provide less info to the doctors. In any case, the surgery is tomorrow and hopefully he can go home right afterwards. If things don’t go right and he ends up on a ventilator, that means an ICU trip and a few days of weaning. Right now everything is geared towards avoiding the ventilator option.

44:40 Even with the bell, the raid is not revealing itself. A chatter asks what happened with the first surgery. Scar is just beginning to explain the previous J-tube surgery ((A J-Tube is a type of feeding tube that is implanted directly into the intestine, as opposed to a G-tube which goes into the stomach.)) when someone shoots a flaming arrow at him! It’s Impulse! Scar tells him he needs to work on his VelociTE skills, Impulse claims he didn’t actually want to kill Scar when he was already having raid troubles.

45:10 Scar asks Impulse if he’s seen the clip of Scar’s echoing call for his help. Impulse has indeed seen that clip and enjoyed it very much. He asks if Scar got it fixed and Scar says sort of, but there is some kind of underlying microphone issue as well. Impulse makes some audio recommendations, but Scar’s audio setup is a disaster mess and his new Roadcaster is not fully set up yet, plus his headphones are they way they are. Impulse casually flexes the fact that he has the bigger version of the Roadcaster that Scar has and it shouldn’t be too difficult to set up and troubleshoot together in a couple of hours. Scar asks if Impulse is a big expert on raids; Impulse has faced a few. They start looking for the raiders together.

48:00 Scar and Impulse work through their guilt about using “cheatycam,” deciding their need is dire because they just can’t find this raid. Scar finds a cat and mentions that Tango keeps murdering the cats that spawn in his steam tunnels. Chat is not happy with this news. Scar suggests Tango should start a cat army. Impulse says Tango could be the next server cat lady. They resort to freecam, Scar is very confused by Impulse’s soundbyte of voice-altered Tango saying “That’s cheating!” They both start camming around. Impulse points out that there is something to be said for the patented Grian method of just ignoring the raid, but Scar says he actually needs his magic hands man. Impulse explores this premise further, Scar is actually going to catch and move an evoker? On a livestream? In front of people? Scar finds his skepticism unflattering. Impulse asks if Scar would like to tackle a redstone project live on stream next. Excited, Scar asks if Impulse wants to see his redstone. Impulse hastily demurs and runs away. Lots of raiders to catch, after all!

51:00 Outraged, Scar insists that they go and look at the redstone RIGHT NOW. He thinks Impulse doesn’t believe that he has completed a real live redstone project and there’s only one way to fix it. Scar begins flying back toward the Shopping District. Impulse does not follow. Scar demands his attendance via game chat. He does not specify who should comes to Poe Poe HQ, so Cleo says “Okay.” Impulse, in a stroke of wonderful luck for him, has found the raid. Scar flies back to join him. Chat feels a little bad about leaving Cleo hanging. Scar has a hard time finding Impulse and the raid both now, but Chat leads him to the right spot. There are no evokers in this phase, but they can at least kill the pillagers and move the raid along.

54:10 With the second wave taken care of, it suddenly occurs to Scar tht it might be nice to have a boat or minecart or something. Impulse is nonplussed, he sort of expected Scar to have this stuff since it’s his project and all. Scar digs the appropriate gear out of his ender chest, then suggests that maybe they should just go see his redstone instead. Impulse agrees, then immediately distracts Scar with the weird behavior of the pillager wave that is just spawning in. They fight the next wave. Impulse thinks it is possible to put a ravager in a boat, but he doesn’t know if it will kill the rower. He thinks it sounds like something fun to do the science on. If he wants a ravager and an evoker, though, multiple raids might be required. Impulse agrees with Scar that players should be able to ride ravagers.

57:00 Another pillager wave, still no magic hands man. Scar shoots several pillagers and also Impulse by accident. They complete the wave and another one spawns, this one with the coveted evoker! Fresh Animations make pillagers look very fast! The evoker falls in the water, but Scar is pretty sure pillagers can swim. They can, though how they swim with their arms in villager pose is a mystery. Scar tells Impulse some stories of swim team practices that make the dad in Impulse very alarmed. They decide that Impulse will kill the ravager and Scar will get the evoker. The magic hands man releases the vexes, but Scar knew that would happen. He wore his ConCorp shirt today and everything! Scar flees from the vexes and accidentally drops the boat, but manages to put a totem into his hand and fly off before dying.

1:00:40 Scar returns to earth to find that Impulse has not killed the ravager quite as much as would be desirable, and in fact the ravager has made it all the way to the evoker pond and is killing Impulse. Scar is faced with an angry ravager sitting in the middle of a pile of Impulse bits, some of which have fallen into the water with the evoker. It is not great. Scar has also replaced his offhand totem with a bit of rail somehow. He shoots the vex in the boat and dives in the water to retrieve Impulse’s stuff, and is almost immediately killed. Chat, who has been yelling about the totem for quite awhile now, saw this coming. Scar is upset that he and Impulse are going to mix bits now. Chat has feelings about that phrasing.

1:02:10 Scar jumps back in the water. He is still trying to keep the evoker alive, which makes things more dangerous. He actually does a pretty good job of collecting bits under fire until he sees the evoker treading water. He gets way too caught up in a bit about what a good swimmer the evoker is and begins to drown himself. Catching himself, he gets his first load of items into a barrel on shore, but many important things are still missing, including Scar’s sword. Impulse was apparently carrying 52 ender chests. Scar dies to vexes in the water again.

1:04:00 Scar jumps back in the water. He pops a totem and dies again. Impulse who apparently had not set his spawn, finally makes it back. Scar dies again. Vex can fly underwater. This is really bad news. Impulse and Scar meet up and trade bits. Tango, alerted by Scar’s death loop, arrives to mock them but also to help. Scar and Impulse catch him up on their totally normal and not-dangerous situation. Scar shares his theory that if he can row a boat fast enough with Magic Hands Man in it, he can avoid the vexes and be safe. Tango does not think this will work but he would very much like to see Scar try it. Scar begins sketching out a plan to get the evoker out of the water and onto the thin strip of land separating the pond from the river. Tango digs out a canal to connect the two bodies of water. Scar is sad he did not think of that.

1:08:20 Scar goes into one of the village huts to sulk for a moment and discovers an indoor hot tub. Impulse discovers an outdoor vindicator and dies of it. Tango and Scar watch contemplatively as Impulse runs around, shrieking, pursued by a vindicator and then by another evoker he has found. He asks if they are going to help at any point, but they are busy being entertained by the cartoon antics. Scar encourages Impulse to get back in there for another round. Tango suggests that maybe Scar could at least put the evoker in a boat since it is literally on the edge of the water. Scar, who has his chin on his fist and is looking very much like a guy who is not intending to do anything right now, says the evoker looks too intimidating with his magic hands right now. Impulse dies again. Chat is having an _excellent_ time.

1:09:30 Tango and Scar are having an excellent time and agree this is much better than the original plan. Impulse dies again and suggests that maybe SOMEONE who has an actual WEAPON could HELP A LITTLE. Scar cheers Impulse on. In chat, Cub cheers Impulse on as well. Scar asks what Magic Hands Man’s actual name is. Tango tells him it is the evoker. While Scar is thinking about that, the actual evoker comes up and sics a bunch of vexes on them. Scar and Tango scatter.

1:10:20 Scar puts the evoker in the boat and jumps into it himself, then begins rowing for his absolute life while yelling to the others that he got him! Tango yells for him to go, go go! Scar switches between first person and F5 as he paddles as fast as he can. He almost gets hung up on a piling but squeaks through before getting vexed to death. The evoker is constantly casting behind him and making a sort of rocket-propelled visual effect behind the boat. Impulse and Tango fly alongside, cheering him on. They are all excited that this is working, but Tango wants to know what the exit strategy is here. Scar admits that’s a little more freeform and may involve some painful rail-line building. Chat is super excited to be a part of this amazing science.

1:13:20 Scar successfully parks the boat outside his train and ejects without dying. He did it! Now the Evoker just needs a nametag. It also needs to stop attacking them with vexes and stone teeth. Scar explains the plan to have Magic Hands Man in the villain car. Tango, who spent all of last season killing himself and his friends with hostile mobs, thinks this is a great idea. Scar rustles up a nametag and an anvil from his ender chest, but needs Tango to make the “Magic Hands Man” tag. Scar pops it onto the evoker and the deal is sealed! Tango asks if Scar plans to build the rail up into the car and everything today. Scar admits he couldn’t get his video done anyway, so he has nothing but time today.

1:16:10 Scar pulls out his Roller Coaster Tycoon shulker for rails and carts, then asks Tango and Impulse if they ever played RCT. Neither of them did. He asks them incredulously if they ever even had fun. They agree that no, there was no fun back then. Impulse says he had the best toy as a child, it was an empty can of soda and they kicked it down the street for fun. Scar asks if Impulse grew up in the fifties. They all do their best old crotchety grandfather impressions.

1:17:40 Impulse has to go, but he’s going to raid into Scar. Scar is disappointed that Impulse doesn’t want to see his redstone. Impulse promises he will see it another day. Before Impulse goes, Scar wants to ask one more question. He murders the name “Rotterdam” about ten times while telling Impulse that the TwitchCon there is doing BuildMart IRL. It sounds amazing! Impulse didn’t think Build Mart IRL means people will be getting out of their seats and doing stuff, but Scar is pretty convinced. (While this conversation is going on, Scar is talking to Doc, who has just signed on, in chat. He tells Doc to come to his base.) Impulse is mostly jealous because the MCC Live there has Ace Race and Railroad Rush, all the good games. “But do they have kick the can?” Tango asks. They decide that’s the next big MCC game, definitely, and Tango and Impulse will win every game. Scar says he would be so good at IRL Build Mart because he would grant his team a natural shopping cart advantage. He could also roll over people’s feet and knock them out of the game. He namedrops Tubbo as the first MCCer to be foot-rolled. He wants to go to TwitchCon very much.

1:21:00 Doc arrives and Scar has other things to do! He hurries off while Tango and Impulse head out. Scar shows Doc the diamond ore and explains the whole frame-up. Including the block that the Ore Snatcher left on top of the armor trim shop, this means all the ore is accounted for. Doc talks about what happened during Scar’s last stream while Scar makes notes on the Scroll of Scrolls. Doc believes that Scar is innocent, but wants to know if Scar is eating chips or something. That would be new for Scar. Scar explains the scroll, then tells Doc he thinks that whoever is framing him may not actually be the Ore Snatcher. There could be multiple actors at this point. Impulse raids into the stream. Doc and Scar agrees that this is a bad framing attempt, nobody would believe this.

1:24:40 While Scar is airing his investigation-related grievances, he demands to know how he is supposed to investigate with a warden in the shop! Doc tells him that is fixed already, the alarm is reset. Chat asserts that it is definitely Cub. Scar wants to know if Doc wants to see his redstone, but Doc is on a roll. Doc believes that the Ore Snatcher is done and won’t act again, and if there are no more attacks and no one confesses, the mystery could haunt him for the rest of his life. Doc and Scar decide to go to the trim shop and look at the signs again. As he flies, Scar points out to chat that three people have now refused to look at his redstone. Chat suggests asking Pearl or Bdubs. Chat also mentions that Doc saw Scar’s redstone on his most recent stream and was not exactly a fan. Scar tells Chat that he’s crossed Mumbo and Zed off the suspect list, but if Mumbo did it, it would be really, really funny.

1:27:00 Scar lands at the trim shop, only to find the alarm in full swing and very loud. He lands next to a new shop that is a dragon head and a creeper head and tries to see what’s going on. Doc says someone triggered the alarm again. He thinks for a moment that the warden is not free, but then everything goes dark. The warden is definitely free. Scar raises his concerns about breaking a wallet setting off the alarm and Doc points out that the shop isn’t even open yet. Nobody should be using their wallets there! He goes in to fix the alarm system and Scar takes off with a very pointed message about going to see his redstone that nobody will look at. Scar flies to his countdown clock and flips the switch. The pistons make a lot of noise and absolutely nothing happens. Scar waxes enthusiastic about how awesome his redstone is for a couple of minutes. Chat is confused. Scar thinks for a minute about possible Ore Snatcher culprits. Chat has lots of ideas, but there is still no proof for anything. Scar plays his suspicions close to his chest, but he doesn’t think it’s Grian.

1:31:00 Scar goes back to the shop, even as he tells chat that he really does need a new headset. He said the same thing last stream, but now he has really come to terms with it. Back at the trim shop he sees the sixth ore block and its mocking sign. He and Doc talk more about possible culprits with no evidence or proof. Scar does believe that the ore from his rocket box came from Ore Mountain and somebody just named it. He asks Doc when the shop will be opening, because he actually would like to buy some trims. Doc explodes that the shop would’ve been open two weeks ago if people weren’t TORMENTING him! All this alarm and warden stuff is not good for shop opening. Doc monologues a little bit about his many troubles.

1:34:00 Cleo arrives, greets Doc cheerfully and asks how his broken shop is. Doc asks if Cleo triggered the alarm. Cleo says no, but they could, would Doc like them to right now? Doc says that the alarm is disabled right now; Cleo is disappointed. Ren arrives as well, Doc demands to know what all these Hermits want with him. Cleo confirms that Doc has no safeguards on his shop at all right now. Doc insists that he is going to turn the alarms on before he leaves. Scar feels a little bad for how put-upon Doc is, but it’s also very funny. Cleo critiques Doc’s armor stand work, Ren and Scar critique the fashion choices in his shop. Red and diamond just clashes too badly. Scar compliments Ren’s taxi pants, sort of. Cleo accidentally triggers the machine, which produces a trimmed hat on an armor stand. Cleo is momentarily alarmed, but Doc takes it as an opportunity to show off his machine. The Hermits are impressed! Scar asks if he can give Doc’s machine a bang. Everyone ignores him.

1:36:40 Doc produces an entire example set of armor with the machine. Everyone thinks it is very cool. Doc makes Ren just want to give up and uninstall Minecraft because he can never measure up. Scar compliments Ren’s pants again, and his cool skin, and belatedly his base. He had a great time talking about Star Wars for two hours on stream in Ren’s cockpit! Cleo asks bemusedly whether Ren and Scar ever do anything on their streams. Doc gives up on the conversation and goes to set the alarm as Scar relates an extremely confusing version of his boat-evoker adventures to Ren and Cleo. Ren is temporarily convinced that Scar won a boat race with a vindicator.They eventually figure out what he is talking about and are moderately impressed by his magic-hands-man-wrangling.

1:40:10 Doc comes back and asks everyone to leave the shop, reminding them that it is not open yet. Cleo protests because she really wants to place and break a block to set off the alarm. Scar, who is not paying even a little bit of attention to Doc, fishes around in his ender chest and finds some food to replace what he lost in the evoker chase earlier. He places down his lunchbox and gets some food out of it, then collects it back up. The alarm goes off. Doc moans in agony while Cleo howls with laughter. Scar protests that he just needed some food! Ren suggests that it might be a good idea to get rid of the ender chest in the shop while the alarm is armed. Doc resets the alarm again while the others criticize his alarm system as very bad for business. Doc tells them that the alarm system shouldn’t have to run during opening hours! Scar wonders if there are specific times the shop is open. Ren suggests only when Doc is streaming, Cleo suggests only when the alarm is triggered. Doc chases them out of the shop.

1:42:10 Scar asks again if the shop will ever open. Doc tells him he can’t open the shop because _certain people_ are suing him and he needs to prepare for his lawsuit. Cleo protests that this is not true, they were talking to Joe earlier and he mentioned they’ve done no preparation thus far. Court is tomorrow and apparently Joe and Doc have not talked to one another at all. Doc protests that he tried to talk to Joe yesterday but Joe was drunk because his partner was doing the citizenship test and he was nervous about it. Chat loves this information. Cleo starts laughing and announces that yeah, she ((Joe’s fiancee, BadgerSpanner)) passed and will be in the US in three weeks. Doc says that’s great, but that being too drunk to talk with a client is behavior unbecoming of a lawyer. His only strategy now is to plead the fifth and then let Joe ramble and run Powerpoint presentations until everyone is bored to death and presumably surrenders. Doc turns his attention to Ren and insists that Ren is also at fault because he was summoned via Discord as a witness and didn’t respond. Cleo protests that they did discuss this and Ren doesn’t need to appear if he doesn’t want to.

1:43:40 Ren says he didn’t get a summons, but he was actually hoping to be a witness. Doc says he can be, so long as he speaks in Doc’s favor. Cleo points out that Ren’s testimony is irrelevant to Doc’s stated strategy. Doc counters that because he and Ren are husband and wife, he’s going to use the fact that Ren can’t testify against him. Cleo refuses to believe they are husbands (Chat is a little hung up on the “and wife” part) because there is no documentation signed by Judge Bdubs available. Scar is completely lost and has no idea what is happening. Someone is drunk, someone is becoming a citizen and someone is married, but he can’t figure out who. Ren wants to know if, as Doc’s husband, he can score a front row seat in the courtroom with the lawyers. Cleo and Doc don’t think it works that way, but Scar shakes off his confusion to insist that as the Poe Poe, he can get Ren a prime seat for only ten diamonds.

1:44:40 Doc sighs over how corrupt the judicial system around here has become while Cleo points out that Scar isn’t even going to be there tomorrow. Scar admits he does have an important prior engagement. Doc rants that Hermit society is in a downward spiral, where respectable merchants need to install burglar alarms. Scar turns to look at his own shop, which is of course a massive patch of ground being exploded by a giant smiley face at the moment, and agrees that this is a bad neighborhood. Cleo points out that it’s not all merchants who need burglar alarms, only Doc. Doc points out that maybe when the Ore Snatcher is done snatching ores, he might just start snatching cats from certain cafes. Cleo says that’s fine, and Scar asks Doc if he’s admitting to being the Ore Snatcher. Ren says that the Beacon shop is on the good side of town, where all the Starbucks are.

1:45:20 Scar remembers that there was another suspect that he wanted to discuss with Doc. Doc immediately suggests False, just because she’s flying under everyone’s radar right now. Doc knows what they’ve been discussing; he’s seen transcripts of their whole stream. ((Doc asked on Twitter for a detailed analysis of Cleo’s 6/23 stream, which was helpfully provided by the recapper.)) Cleo has seen those too and thinks it’s weird. ((The recapper resists the urge to hide under the bed forever.)) Scar and Ren tell Doc that they think the culprit is Karin, Doc’s partner. Doc is not receptive to this line of conjecture, but does admit that it is not quite as stupid as the theory that Doc has a split personality and is doing it himself. Cleo says she does not believe it’s a split personality, but that Doc might well steal from himself just to cause drama. Doc is appalled at the very idea that he would do ANYTHING to cause drama. Of course, when 1.21 rolls around it’s going to be a different story, he promises. There will be Hermitcraft meetings with Doc’s behavior as a talking point again, he guarantees it.

1:46:40 Doc and Cleo argue about loopholes and whether or not they work on Hermitcraft. Cleo points out that you cannot have loopholes in a system with no written laws. Scar proudly holds up the Scroll of Scrolls and declares that he does, in fact, has a copy of all written laws plus the progress of the investigation! Cleo and Ren are both interested in hearing this. Scar shakes the scroll a few times and then admits he forgot what they were talking about. Doc makes everyone turn around so he can get into the alarm system again. Nobody turns around. Ren tries to protest that he is Doc’s husband and the most loyal of Hermits. Scar suggests that Ren has spent a lot of time these past few streams talking about how loyal he is. Doc still thinks the culprit is Cub. Cleo says of course the culprit is Cub. Ren says maybe Grian, and Cleo shuts everyone down. They are not spending another stream doing the pointless speculation thing, everyone knows it is Cub and they are all just going to pretend they’ve forgotten.

1:49:40 The sky darkens and Ren pulls out a bed to sleep. Scar claims to have blanked again and not know what they’re talking about, but seems to be using that as an excuse to break the bed under Ren. This of course triggers the alarm again. Cleo and Scar laugh, Ren apologizes, and Doc threatens the life of unspecified parties. Chat loves it. Ren says he has to sleep, and Scar protests it’s just instinct to break a bed. Doc resets the alarm again. Ren promises the never sleep on the stairs again. Doc gets tagged by the Warden. Scar suggests maybe just putting the warden away for awhile. Ren is worried about all the stress his husband is under. Cleo asks if Ren’s considered the possibility of dementia, given that Doc is the oldest hermit. Ren allows that this is true. Doc scolds them all for picking on the elderly (and also Cleo is old too!) Cleo says yes, but not as old as Doc! Doc points out that they all know Scar is 48, which draws immediate, vociferous protest from Scar. ((A ‘famous birthdays’ website once asked Scar to provide his birthdate and when he declined, they just made something up. Scar has been fighting the rumors ever since. The Hermits like to exaggerate even that, since the website claimed that Scar was born in 1982.)) His headphone falls off again.

1:51:50 Cleo asks Scar if he’s really going to tolerate that sort of insult from Doc. They think Scar should go ahead and accuse Doc of ore-snatching right now. Scar thinks about that for a moment and then breaks a sand block. The alarm goes off again. “Don’t call me 48!” he insists over the noise. “Jesus Christ,” Doc mutters and goes to fix the alarm again. He only came online because he wanted to measure the targeting on the new TNT cannon he is designing. Everyone thinks that sounds like fun. Scar and Cleo ask if they can see Doc’s redstone. Scar breaks another block and sets off the alarm for a fourth time just as Doc resurfaces, then says they really probably ought to leave Doc alone. Cleo protests that that’s no fun. Ren wants Doc to know he had nothing to do with any of this. Cleo places a block of polished diorite, then protests that they haven’t done anything since they haven’t actually broken it yet. Scar sees the possibility inherent in this and begs Cleo to put a hat on the goat statue. Preferably a propeller beacon.

1:54:00 Scar asks if everyone has heard the good news of the upcoming popup shop ban, enforced by the will of the Poe Poe and their clock. Cleo has heard of it and compliments Scar on his excellent redstone. Doc points out that his redstone doesn’t actually do anything. Scar tells Doc kindly that it’s ultra-redstone and he wouldn’t understand. Cleo agrees that Scar is operating on a whole other level. Scar tells Doc that he and his Shadow Collective ((a seldom-used channel on Scar’s Discord where he goes for redstone help)) operate in a whole different realm. The Shadow Realm. Doc heaves an incredibly audible sigh. He spent a long time doing incredibly repetitive tasks today and just came on to dig a little hole, but now he is here and it has been an hour and none of them have learned anything but he’s starting to wonder if the Ore Snatcher is just going to troll him by setting off the alarm and leaving. Cleo agrees this is an excellent and easy way to troll.

1:56:00 Ren finds the diamond ore block on top of the shop. Doc has already seen it, but Ren insists that the omission of capital letters is some kind of clue. Doc thinks that the use of glow ink is important. Ren thinks it was Joel. Doc agrees that Joel has a motive, because he got roped into a sand revenge he had no part in earning. Joel believes sand duping is fine, so he should’ve been excluded from revenge, ergo: motive! Cleo wants to make it very clear that Doc is never going to get sand duping. “We’ll see about that,” Doc replies. They relitigate the sand duping issue for a minute, but finally Doc concludes that the culprit is Joel or Cub. “It’s CUB,” Cleo reminds everyone again. Scar insists that he is the investigator and he’ll be doing the finger-pointing here. He did see Cub once pull out an entire box of signs that he uses to place funny signs around for people. The conversation winds around for several more minutes until somehow Doc is arguing that it was Cub and Cleo is arguing that it wasn’t necessarily Cub. It’s starting to get dark again. Cub sleeps through the night.

2:02:30 Despite their best intentions, the Hermits keep speculating about the identity of the Ore Snatcher. Cleo puts forth the idea that it’s a Mission Possible task set by Iskall, and that multiple people are involved. Investigator Scar likes this idea and wants to hear more. Chat is unconvinced by the theory. Cleo thinks there’s a Mission Possible task that is “Take a diamond block from Doc’s redstone, but do it offscreen and secretly” and that several people have gotten it by now. There may also be a task to put diamond blocks back in Doc’s redstone. ((Skizz actually did replace diamond ore as part of an MP task, but the task was “Do a good deed for another Hermit and don’t take credit.)) Doc points out that the Mission Possible tasks tend to be generally wholesome and not all-out griefing, while Ren points out that the purpose of Mission Possible is to generate content, which cannot be done with a mission that must be offscreen and secret. Scar points out that they’ve literally spent several streams doing almost nothing but talking about this, so content accomplished? Chat is pretty sure Iskall has said that no Mission Possible tasks are specifically targeted.

2:03:50 Doc says it’s time for everyone to leave and do the things they need to do. Cleo hasn’t got anything to do, that’s why she’s here. Ren is just waiting for Skizz to get online so he can be deposed ahead of tomorrow’s court case. Scar points out that Skizz’s new skin looks like the Quaker Oats man. Cleo says it’s supposed to be a barrister’s outfit, that barristers and solicitors are British lawyers and they wear little white wigs. Scar asks what the difference is, but Cleo is not sure. Everyone has their own theory on the matter. ((Barristers practice trial law and make court appearances, solicitors handle legal affairs and paperwork matters. Only barristers get to wear white wigs.))

2:05:30 Scar sees a pillager scouting party and considers starting another raid at the sacrificial village. Doc goes to find somewhere to blow up. Scar shakes his head as Doc leaves, saying that he needs to step up his investigations game before Doc loses his mind. Cleo disputes Doc having a mind to lose. Scar tells Ren and Cleo a less convoluted version of his great success with Magic-Hands-Man-wrangling. Ren is impressed. Scar tells him he can catch it on his VODs channel! They go and investigate Jevin’s new head shop. A chatter asks Scar who wrote the notes of mayoral advice that were supposedly from Jellie in Season 7. Scar says of course it was Jellie.

2:07:30 Jevin’s shop is accessed through the dragon’s mouth, which reminds Scar of Disney. Cleo has never been to Disney. Scar remembers that Cleo’s Disney trip was cancelled due to the pandemic. They are both sad about it. Scar sees barrels on the wall with each Hermit’s name on them. He asks what they’re for. “They’re our heads,” Ren explains. “But they’re empty,” Scar protests. Ren says that the prices in the shop are too low, that Jev is only charging one diamond per cat head, for instance. He would charge much more, who wants to kill cats? Cleo, Scar and Chat are all upset. Scar immediately confiscates the two Jellie heads from the box, on the order of the Poe Poe, and announces that Jev is welcome to sue him but he will NOT be selling Jellie heads from that box. Chat is howling for slime.

2:09:20 Cleo raises the half-hearted defense that she doesn’t think Jev probably thought about the fact that he was killing Jellie cats because, well, Jev. Ren is still preoccupied by how little Jevin is charging for various heads, calling them “Season 6 prices.” Scar insists that they need to bring back Season 6 prices. He has only three diamonds. Ren also has zero diamonds. Cleo, who is actively trying to give away some of the many, many diamonds she has earned from her shop, gives Scar four diamond blocks. Scar is happy. Ren suggests they go diamond mining, a very lucrative activity in this version of Minecraft. Scar wants Bdubs to get off the dime and get his lawsuit rolling, because he is owed some serious diamonds by an imaginary man and some snails!

2:10:35 Ren realizes that Scar has a literally mountain made in large part of diamond ore blocks. Scar insists that those are an escrow account, though does not specify to whom or for what reason. Also the mountain has a large hole in it, thanks to those snails! Gem, who is stream sniping, calls it an escargot account. Cleo gives Ren some diamond blocks too. Ren notices the escargot joke and laughs until his eye starts hurting. Scar complains that his ear hurts from the headphones. Cleo yells at him, in a very muted fashion, to get new headphones. Scar cannot hear her because he needs new headphones. In chat, Gem boasts that Ren cannot handle her dad jokes.

2:11:50 The group leaves the head shop, Ren sadly predicting that Jev won’t get good trophies from the shop at these prices. Cleo tells them that she got the 2500 diamond trophy today. Ren experience a moment of disgust at the rampant capitalism until Cleo points out that she _literally just_ gave him a bunch of diamonds. Scar wants to see the trophy. He also wants to know where to sign up for trophies, now that he has a shop. Cleo takes him to sign up for trophies. He is disappointed that Hermits have to pay for his own trophy. He says this is like the time that his brother saved somebody’s life and the Navy told him that if he wanted the medal, he had to pay for it. Chat thinks that is strange because usually service members don’t pay for medals, but Scar promises there’s a story and he will tell Chat later. Cleo and Ren note that Ren’s head is not on the leaderboard yet, he is represented by a squid. Cleo says that’s easy to fix, just put down a bed and she’ll kill him. Scar doesn’t wait for such niceties as spawn-setting and kills Ren in two shots. He says it just felt like the right thing to do.

2:14:00 Ren reports that he is at spawn with nothing. Cleo and Scar collect all his stuff and take it to him. Pearl comments in chat that Spawn isn’t that far from the trophy shop, indicating that she is stream sniping as well. Scar loves Ren’s fancy hat and says it reminds him of Season 7 when he was Mayor Scar. Ren gets killed by Gem. Scar tries to Hotguy Gem, but misses, much to his chagrin. Scar tries to justify a “no thinking, just doing” philosophy as the reason he killed Ren so quickly. Cleo contends that this philosophy is in fact Scar’s problem. Gem puts on a Ren head and jumpscares Scar. Ren reassembles his inventory bit by bit, then stares at Gem to ask why she has to be this way. Cleo says Gem looks beautiful; Ren agrees that Gem looks especially beautiful now. Gem says it’s just the way she is. Ren asks why her head is so _massive._ Gem doesn’t know, it’s Ren’s head. They stand side by size, Gem’s Ren head is much bigger. Ren asks if all Hermit heads do that. Cleo and Scar say yes, but Gem believes there is only one way to find out and kills Scar. They are indeed all the same size.

2:18:00 Scar wants to make it clear that Jellie cat heads are illegal on the server. Cleo asks him not to say that because she always wants to do things that are illegal and she actually has a Jellie cat available. It was in the cat cafe but she took it out and put it in her basement so it wouldn’t make Scar feel bad. Scar doesn’t know how to feel about this, but does feel bad about the poor Jellie in the basement. Cleo protests that Jellie’s in the nice part of the basement. Scar asks for his shovel back, Gem finds it in her inventory and tells him he should name his tools. Scar did name them, but they all broke or fell in lava. That reminds Cleo to ask about whether Scar ever actually finished paying for all the books he took from the shop the other day. Scar gives back all the diamonds that Cleo just gave him. “How many books did you _take?_” she asks, appalled. He reminds her that he lost everything. Cleo takes pity on him and gives him half of the diamonds he just gave her. The group talks a little bit about Scar’s Minecraft face. Ren says it’s very hard to look off to the left and smirk with the right side of the mouth. Cleo can do it. Scar is visibly trying on the facecam. Chat is also trying, with varying results. Scar concludes that it isn’t that difficult and Ren says maybe it’s just him.

2:21:10 Cleo says it’s probably the chocolates. Ren asks if she thinks they’ve done permanent damage. Scar doesn’t know what they’re talking about. Cleo tells the story of the chocolates while Scar plays the Inside Joke horn. Cleo explains that at Christmastime they and Ren were playing Plate Up and Ren mentioned he was hungry and had found some chocolates, did Cleo think they were safe to eat? Cleo said probably yes because chocolate doesn’t really go off, but what Ren did not mention was that these were milk truffles he’d found behind a radiator, behind a cupboard, left by the people who’d had the apartment before him. “And you ATE them?” Scar asks. “They were sealed!” Ren insists. Gem plays the most appropriate “Don’t put that in my mouth” horn ever played. Cleo confirms that Ren did eat them, on camera, and nearly vomited. Ren agrees they were foul. “Oh my god,” says Scar, stunned. “Oh my god,” agrees Gem’s Impulse horn. Gem’s horn game is extremely on point today. Cleo realizes suddenly that she already has four copies of Ren’s head and never needed to kill him in the first place.

2:22:55 Ren tells them all that they are the actual worst humans to ever human. Cleo insists that she is definitely not the worst human, Gem proudly insists that she is. There are several minutes of conversation about Gem’s skin and what Space Buns are. Cleo insists that Gem’s skin’s hair design is called Space Buns but they are completely distinct from and have no relationship to Princess Leia’s hair buns in Star Wars. Scar and Ren cannot comprehend how any hairstyle called “space buns” could not be related to Princess Leia. They eventually agree to disagree, on the theory that Scar and Ren are incapable of understanding things unrelated to Star Wars. ((A cursory internet search indicates that everyone is half-correct, the “Space Buns” hairstyle of two buns in the back two quadrants of the scalp is popular on its own and is not the same as Princess Leia’s famous rolled side buns in Star Wars, but basically every source on the internet agrees that the name was inspired by Princess Leia.))

2:24:40 Scar asks if everyone has seen Ren’s spaceship base. Cleo and Gem have seen it, but they want to see Scar’s base. He leads everyone to the front of the train for a tour and is immediately embarrassed by the oxidation on his portal frame. He keeps meaning to wax that. Scar shares the lore of the Swaggon Inc brand zoo train as it travels the world. Cleo steals a few design ideas along the way. He shows off the carnivore car and Doc, who is now stream sniping, asks if he said carnival car, as in clown train. Scar insists it is not a clown train. Doc giggles. Everyone who saw Scar’s disaster mess of a storage area in the engine is impressed with his new storage car. He leads the way through the turtle and dolphin tank and tells them that when he’s done with his surgery, he and Tango are going to figure out a way to keep dolphins alive. Fifteen dead dolphins is enough. Everyone loves the giraffes. Scar leads the group to a safe distance to show off the villains car and explains his plans for that. Cleo scolds him for Fred’s sorry state of coldness. Gem and Ren agree. Scar is the zookeeper _and_ the police, how can he be torturing animals? Scar shows them the blue parrot tethered to a tree. Cleo tells him he is unconscionable. Gem says she’s going to dinnerbone the bird so it flies upside down and is even worse.

2:35:00 Scar shows off the villains of the villain car, with a bit of mayhem as the result. Turns out the witch has a surprising range with potions, and Magic Hands Man has just been itching to send out more Vex. They retreat to a safe distance and Scar explains his plan for the last, floating car. He shows everyone the back of the train as well, with the elephant and big pumpkin. Scar loses his headset again, then shows everyone the mountain he’s tearing down and Cub’s 44th hideout. Scar and Ren agree that the sign is very similar to the one on the armor trim shop. Cleo, who believes more than anyone that Cub is the culprit, still feels compelled to point out that this is extremely circumstantial evidence indeed. Scar tries to trick Cleo through his death portal but she is wise to his tricks. He goes through the safe bit of the portal and waits to see who follows him. Joe (who was also stream sniping) is under the portal waiting to hit Cleo with a trident, but Cleo doesn’t follow Scar through. Joe models his new courtroom attire of a bright green asymmetric jumpsuit, modeled after the court fashions of Star Trek.

2:42:10 Scar jumps back through the portal to see where everyone else went. Cleo insists they went through the portal and then jumped back when Scar was not there. Scar insists they were not, because he and Joe were on the other side and Joe was showing him his tight but stretchy pants. Cleo though Skizz was bad enough with the wig, but Joe has picked an even weirder outfit for lawyering. Scar points out that it is very on-brand for Star Trek, though. Joe pops through the portal to show Joe his clothes. Ren thinks they’re cool, but that Joe should get a wig too. Joe says he’s channeling the future. Scar suggests going bald entirely. Joe is concerned that if he removed the hair from the Juppet skin, it would be creepy not in the way he wants. Scar asks if Cleo likes Star Trek, Cleo confirms yes, they’ve even gone to conventions and stuff. Scar is thrilled. Apparently it was a Voyager convention specifically, though Cleo doesn’t remember who all the guests were, having been a teenager at the time. Joe can’t believe anyone could ever be so young as to not remember meeting Robert Picardo. Cleo confirms that they did, in fact, meet the Doctor. Joe is very happy.

2:45:00 The group talks for a few minutes about the mysteries and intricacies of the convention circuit, first the Star Trek convention circuit and then the Hermit-related circuit. Joe mentions that he had to pay to fly out to PAX Unplugged last year and talk with Beef about the TCG cards. Scar asks if Joe has revealed his cards, because Joe’s card is one of his favorite. Joe asks to post the link in Scar’s chat. Chat is excited to see it. Scar doesn’t have a link to his own card, but shows a sneak peek on his phone. His card depicts Volleyball Hotguy, shirtless of course. He says Grian said he needs more abs and asks what chat thinks. Chat melts down. Cleo thinks Scar’s card is amazing. It is top abs. Needs more scitties, but the abs are great. Chat melts down harder. Cleo and Scar talk about the time last year when Tumblr created a Scar Minecraft model with truly popped-out pecs, and then did the same thing to Joe. Joe is fine with that. He misses the days when he was in Marine Corps officer training and was, as his friends put it “uncomfortably ripped.” Chat has many feelings about Jitties, and they love Joe’s adorable TCG card.

2:48:20 Skizz signs on so Ren must go, it is time for his deposition. Joe wants to go crash in on Skizz and say hello. Scar thinks that idea is dangerous, they might catch Skizz in a cursing mood again. Ren mentions that the Rendog common dropped today. He has trouble getting the link from Twitter, but one of Scar’s mods drops it into chat for him. Ren points out how it’s awesome that the world behind him is square. Ren takes off and so does Cleo, who has a headache brewing. Scar bids Cleo and Joe goodbye and flies away. He notices that the diamond ore is gone from his rocket chest and lets Doc know that he needs it back, it’s evidence! What he really needs, he decides, is a giant whiteboard to keep track of all the things he needs to keep track of.

2:52:20 Scar has an evoker and that’s great, but what he really wants is to see if he can also get a ravager in a boat. Chat loves that idea. Scar makes some boats and kills another boated bannerman, then goes and triggers another raid. This reminds him that he was talking about his surgery a couple hours ago and he promised Chat the story. He tells it why they fight the raid. In 2021 he got a Psuedomonas infection in his J-tube, which is a slow-moving infection but has a very particular smell and color to it. He went to the ER for it but they didn’t take it seriously. Scar pauses for train talk and a Cleo raid. A chatter tells him he can’t boat a ravager, but other chatters disagree. Scar explains how the untreated infection led to PICC lines and full surgery to replace the tube that involved some complications. This surgery will hopefully finish correcting everything that’s still a problem from back then.

2:56:30 Scar keeps fighting the raid as he talks, popping a totem as he goes. When he had his accident at TwitchCon Las Vegas where he fell and got the concussion, he went to the ER, saw a doctor for about 13 seconds, and got some scans done. The bill for that was $22,000. Chat is appalled. After insurance and everything, they sent a bill to Scar for two cents, which they actually want paid. Scar wants to know if he’s really supposed to send them two cents. The raid ends without a ravager. Everyone is disappointed. Scar hits up a pillager outpost to restart the raid. A chatter suggests sending the hospital a nickle and asking for change. A chatter asks for cat name ideas. Chat has so many ideas.

3:01:00 Scar wants to share some good news he got on Discord. He is halted by a voice chat suggesting he use a credit card to pay the two cents, since it will cost the hospital about 20 times that in processing fees. Scar likes that idea. Scar’s news is from Hoffen, the art books are created and ready to ship within the next couple of weeks! Anyone who ordered a book and has changed their address, now is the time to get that sorted out. Scar bought 24 copies and can’t wait to get them. He has lots of plans for them! A chatter asks if Scar is coming to TwitchCon San Diego, he answers yes. More information will come later, but he has stuff cooking!

3:04:00 Scar fights the new raid and answers chat questions. A chatter immediately gets him on a Disney rant. He finds a ravager and clears the rest of the raid around it. The ravager does not go in the boat after all. It is disappointing, but Scar has a minecart too. He forgets that the minecart has to be moving, but does a very good job kiting the ravager. The fact that he’s still doing his Disney rant and his headset keeps falling off only slows him down a little bit.

3:15:50 A chatter voice-texts to remind Scar to move the minecart. Doc advises him in game chat to build a little circle of track, but Scar is on a Disney roll. He pulls the ravager back to the minecart, gives the cart a hard nudge and captures the ravager quite neatly. Everyone celebrates!

3:19:30 Scar places a little bit of track and then realizes how long it will take to minecart back to his base from here. He decides to release the ravager he just caught and let it chase him all the way home, avoiding Bdubs’ base because it is rude to ravage your friends’ yards. He realizes he can’t nametag the ravager because he has no levels, so it will be a dangerous race back home to keep the ravager from despawning. He accidentally hits the ravager four times with his pick while trying to break the minecart. Doc suggests using an activator rail to pop the ravager out of the minecart without harming it. Scar decides instead to dig a hole under the ravager and break the minecart from beneath, dropping the ravager on his own head. He flees in terror before the ravager can smash him, and the chase is on!

3:21:10 Chat would very much like to see what would happen if Scar took the ravager to Bdubs’ house, but he leads it across the water instead. Ravagers swim very slowly. Ore Mountain comes into silhouette in the distance. Scar talks about the new Monsters park at Universal Studios. He loves it and wants Disney to bring a Villainsland to their parks so much. The ravager remains in hot pursuit, but Scar’s Decked Out skills serve him well.

3:28:30 Scar arrives back at the train but realizes he doesn’t have his stuff ready to hold the ravager at the end of the line. He hastily builds a circle track like Doc suggested and gets the Ravager back into it, then breathes a sigh of relief. The ravager rides the circle track like a very angry teenager on a preschool carousel. It will keep for now.

3:30:00 Scar goes back to studio view and thanks everyone for watching and for all the subs and donos. He doesn’t have his video finished, but hopes to finish it soon after his surgery. It was a fun stream, he enjoyed it a lot! Chat gives him hundreds of good wishes. Scar is so, so close to raiding Tango and ending, but the urge for murder is too strong. Scar drops back into game view and flies wildly across the server. Chat informs him that Tango is ending his stream as well, time is almost up! Chat also reminds Scar that Tango helped him not three hours ago, making Scar hesitate just long enough for Tango to end his stream. Scar lands next to a convenient wildcat, raids into Antfrost and ends his stream.

Elliott as a dragon shifter

Man can shape shift

So we got Human Elliott, Half dragon with wings, horns, scales, and then Dragon Elliott.

He still lives in the beach at first, just in a cave, he sees you working on your farm and when the townspeople tell you about him you're so curious.

Elliott meets you as a human

You give him a lot of gifts and come talk to him everyday and it's not long before he falls for you

He starts giving you things, sometimes useful other times not

"Elliott? Are you sure you want me to take this iron ore?" "Yes of course!"

He doesn't tell you he's a dragon at first but once you two become closer he does

This man constantly wants to be around you

Clingy AF when you two first start dating but he does try to control it

He'll take you flying if you want

You've let go of him before so he could catch you and he scolded you when you two got back to the ground

Warm in the winter

When he takes you to his cave you don't find what you expect

It's like a hobbit hole not a nasty cave, he has his own treasures, rooms filled with books and fine little things

Any gift that you've given him (that isn't food) is in the treasure trove.

Can he breathe fire? Yes

Do I see him more as an ocean dragon? Yes but fire breathing dragons are cool

You're the knight and he's the dragon, only not enemies but instead lovers.

Does he have ruts? Yes. I'm gonna assume he's in his half dragon form during most of it, unable to contain himself

He tries

You're going to be covered in bite marks and bruises, he doesn't leave your side for too long, and if you can't take anymore he'll go for a round or so alone just to give you a break.

Grab. The. Horns. During. Fun. Stuff.

Sometimes is very easily worked up and will fly to your place if just to see you

You two have both thought about doing it in the sky but never have the courage to actually do it

Is down to bottom

This man will beg for you

Doesn't want anyone to see you two doing it

Aftercare king

Used to hide his face behind his wings when he was younger if he got embarrassed, sometimes they try again but mostly he's grown out of it

Talks to lizards and other reptiles

"Why are you glaring at that Iguana?" "He said my hair looks disgusting -_-."

Do his eyes glow? Sure, yeah.

When he gets flustered his wings pop out, or maybe his scales show

Let's you pet him constsntly

Will shift in bed to make you cuddle longer

He has claws but can retract them

Very gentle giant in his dragon form

Will let you ride him but not in the sexual way (at first)

If you two have a child in the days leading up to their arrival either by adoption or carrying he has you in the tressure room a lot, saying he needs help cleaning it

Definitely growls if anyone comes too close (growled at Willy and Leah who only crossed their arms at him and Elliott blushed and apologized)

Elliott being a dragon means he'll live far longer than you and can hardly live with it

He constantly looks for ways to make you immortal, the idea of being without you in the world kills him.

Dragons mate for life so if you go he'll follow soon after.

Tells you everything about dragons when you two first start dating so you're aware of the mating but you don't believe your his mate

When you find out how wrong you are it's like a slap in the face

If you want to become immortal like him he'll find every option even going as far to share dragon blood with you and have the Wizard make you like him

If not then he respects it and is content to be with you for whatever time you have left.

When he gets angry sometimes steam will come out of his nostrils and after that you need a minute to take him seriously again

If he's ever really angry he'll start to shift (it's never you he's angry at but you've seen it only a few times)

Pretty protective but knows you can handle yourself

Calls you "my treasure" or "Dearest"

Writes you poems and love letters

Still very old school, trests you like he's courting you even after you two get married

Yandere Dragon Elliott

Letters upon letters of him wanting to be with you

Gifts in the mail

You tell Elliott about them at first

He reassures you that nothing will happen to you

Watches you when you sleep

Sometimes if you wake up at night you see glowing green eyes looking in through your window

When you start to date someone else, he loses it

He takes you to his cave and reveals himself

At first you think he's another prisoner and kind of wants to go along with it but decided against lying to you

You're so frightened at first

You try to run but he's faster and bigger and can easily bring you bsck

His cave is a long climb down so the first time you tried to escape you nearly broke your leg.

Forces you to become immortal to send eternity together

Will keep you locked up in his treasure room until you behave

Never violent but does threaten to off himself constantly

Your crying does hurt him but doesn't always move him

He's older and knows what's best

Still very gentle with you but you'll flinch at his touch

You don't get married in town you get married in his cave

When you start to come around he lets you go back down, he finds a cave near the farm and creates a home in it for when he shifts into a dragon.

You fool yourself into being happy with him

Alice’s adventures on Cheshire farm. entry 3

hi, it’s been a bit, I stopped hype focusing on Stardew for a bit, but then I saw that a new yandere mod had come out so I decided to continue again, forgot how fun it was.

as always MDI cuz this deals with yandere concepts and while it’s safe for now things are getting well spicy

Spring 8 - year 1

Monday time! A lot has happened since my last entry which is astounding, but I’ve officially lived here for a week! So first thing first, I think I have some character profiles to go through, though really they’re less profiles and me judging them after a week.

Let's start with… Harvey… he hasn’t stopped, it’s unsettling, he talks about our so called passed life all the time, I have decided to just let my sickness fade at the farm because I can not deal with him, the other towns folk have taken notice and agreed to help me avoid him as much as possible, especially Elliot. Speaking of he is an interesting fellow, I often catch him near my farm. I ask him why and he says he’s just enjoying the view. Given that the area around my farm is beautiful I just assume he’s taking a morning walk when he does. 

Ok, now I just feel like a gossip, but to be fair those two are a bit weird. I’ve been trying to make friends, the depressed man is called Shane and he seems prickly, I talked to him once and he just assumed that it was a prank! What has this man gone through to think that, he is also at the saloon drinking every night which worries me… but maybe he just needs a good friend!

Unrelated but there is a notice board that I well… noticed (I’m hilarious I know) and what is asked for on there is usually easy for me to find, so I’ve been helping around and getting small money here and there which is fun because that means I’m not fucking starving. 

Also! First harvest! I never thought Parsnips could taste so good but I guess hard work makes your food taste better, I had some Fish with Parsnips and wild leeks the other day and it is shockingly good. This week has taught me that taking a break from the horrid capitalist dystopia that is Zuzu city was a good idea. I even got to take care of most of the rocks on my farm, still need to deal with weeds and trees but I figured that taking care of the rocks was a good first step, one thing at a time. Also want to save the weeds for if I get animals at some point, might see if Robin can make a silo or something. 

I’ve noticed something a bit uncomfortable, a few of my hoodies have gone missing which I’m not happy with, especially given how Harvey has been acting… but I can hope for now that I just misplaced them somewhere…

Speaking of making me uncomfortable, the shy girl uhm… Penny seems to be more pushy about spending time with me, waxing poetic about the unity of the small town life. I was expecting her to be a lot more shy after our first meeting, but it seems that she’s not a fan of respecting my personal space…

Also? Monsters exist? Like I heard about the dwarves and shadow people war and all that, but you don’t really see them in Zuzu, but the mines opened up and I decided to try my hand I mean I’ve been taking care of the stones on my farm after all, got a few gemstones and some ore, but I’m not going to lie, fighting the slimes and giant bugs in the mines was both exciting and terrifying, I guess I will be venturing more in the future.

Signing out ~ Alice

[aloeanemonabee27]

I have a lot of things in mind, and because of that I tend to block not knowing of what to start over first. So, sorry for that. But I wanted to share a possible ASL au concept idea, randomly appearing out of nowhere when I'm supposed to finish some sketches. It won't be a long introduction like I said is a concept only, I'm not sure if I want to continue this unlike the others that I'm actually hyped about and want to introduce properly the day I get better at digital art. Also most of what I introduce is supposed to be drawings, but since my inspiration is spontaneous the only thing I have close to is writing and I have to before the idea dies.

Leaving the unnecessary explanation behind, this ASL au concept is a genderbend ASL trio being mythological beings. I've seen fanfiction on this idea, but they are in so little portions and the stories are either in indefinite hiatus or cancelled. The ambient is the same old One piece, pirates etc. exept that the ASL trio are mermaids. Elaborating a bit, Ace and Sabo are sirens while Luffy is a mermaid and this beings share some similarities but they are different. As everyone knows (or at least I remember) some mermaids are peaceful creatures, they are fun, loving and usually get along with most people ore creatures. Sirens however, are not, their nature is absolute hostile and unpredictable, some can be tranquil if no one gives them a reason to drown them in the deeps of the sea. Ace and Sabo (or in this case Ann and Sab) are traveler sirens who are always on the move, once in a while putting people in their place or merely just surviving. Luffy is a lone mermaid who is always close to the beaches of Dawn Island, specifically Fusha Village cause she doesn't have family or a home. She gets along with the people in the village, especially with Makino and the mayor. The villagers coexist with this happy and mischievous mermaid, it was basically an unspoken rule to protect Luffy from slave traffickers or greedy pirates and often have to remind Luffy to not get close to Goa kingdom in fear of what might happend to her. But Luffy can defend herself too and ain't afraid to throw hands, or tail. One day, the villagers warn to themselves to beware for apparent sirens that appeard in the close beach's, and of course warning Luffy about it cause it's no secret that sirens and mermaids don't get along. Of course, Luffy ended up meeting this two sirens, ending up doing the opposite of what she was supposed to, Luffy tried to befriend them and of course this two had no plans in doing so.

What Ann and Sab weren't prepared for was the persistence of this mermaid, or better yet her stubbornness, which turns tiring at some point. But the two sirens ended up hanging with the mermaid, who somehow wormed herself into their hearts, and started to acknowledge her. Ann and Sab learn alot of things about Luffy and Luffy of them, the two sirens became somewhat a family to Luffy knowing that she doesn't have a family and became sisters.

And that's all I have to share. I just can't stop thinking about mermaid Luffy and siren Ann and Sab. What do you think?

Alright, NOW I've done today's prompt >:]

FFXIV Write Day 12: Quarry

No warnings, just my WoL and a bit of Alisaie this time, playing around with some lore :3

CLANG

The sound of pickaxe hitting stone was never fun to listen to. No matter the reward, Cattalia always found it grating at some point or another-- whether than be the instant she began, or a short while in-- the shrill impact grated on her ears like few other sounds could.

CLANG

So, in an attempt to avoid heavily shortened mining trips, she opted for a simple pair of earplugs to ease her mind. It muffled the sound enough to keep her sane, while not completely blocking out everything going on around her.

[clang]

Unfortunately, they did have the side effect of... doing what it said on the tin. The sounds around her were dulled to a similarly soft level, so in her efforts to stay conscious of any one or thing approaching, she could get a bit jumpy.

[clang]

Today, however, had been blissfully uneventful, which was heartening to say the least. Almost all of her last gathering outings had been interrupted by something or other, so she'd been attempting to craft this one set of hanging planters for nearly a week now. She had to finish it-

["-attalia?"]

The once again interrupted miner flinched, hard, and nearly dropped her pickaxe over her head. It slipped a bit as her limbs went rigid, and she scrambled to grab a better hold of it, before spinning around to see who had so kindly come all the way into the desert to bother her.

["Oh- sorry! I thought I'd made enough noise on my way over, considering the sand worm I just took care of, but I forgot about your..."] Alisaie gestured in the general direction of the startled miqo'te infront of her, presumably referring to the earplugs. Cattalia let out a tense breath, shaking off the adrenaline shot with an amused scoff and stowing her pickaxe in its holster her back.

"You're not the first, nor will you be the last. I think I'll manage." She dismisses the concern with a small smile, pulling out her earplugs as she speaks, before crossing her arms with an expectant raise of her brows. "So, what brings you all the way out here? Another urgent meeting need attending?" Her question was lighthearted, but she was absolutely preparing to swallow her frustration to go do "more important scion stuff" agan. Much to Cattalia's surprise, Alisaie shook her head, the mischeviously knowing smile on her face implying she saw right through the Warrior of Light's coverup.

"Wouldn't dream of it-- I doubt Tataru will send anyone for that job but Dev now. Not that I would mind, but I'm not looking to test my reflexes right now. I'm sure you can understand." She assured, a smirk tugging at the corner of her innocent smile.

"I understand that I'm never living that down, that's much is clear..." Cattalia muttered, forever haunted by the time she accidentally threw an unwanted ore at an unannounced visitor behind her. When the memory passed, however, she realized Alisaie wasn't actually here for something work related. Curiosity piqued, she was about to say more when she was beaten to the punch.

"So, I was actually hoping you could get me something. Urianger says it's rarely found for sale, and Dev says he's gotten some, but that you're more familiar with it, hence it seemed a safe bet to come pester you. Think you could get me some aethersand?" Preamble finished, Alisaie finally got to her point, asking her question despite her tone sounding confident she knew the answer. She was perfectly right to be confident thought, and Cattalia couldn't help but laugh at how well Alisaie knew her.

"Finally someone's asking me the right questions."

Phew! This is wayyy more fun than J expected it to be, but my head is very empty now lmao. Alright time to chill and go back to grinding DRG levels, thanks for reading! 💙

[flutteringfable]

thinking abt susbedo (aurelius) and jietang again. here are my Thoughts

climbing a mountain together to watch the sunset together in liyue. they bring along some snacks and blankets and end up falling asleep under a tree.

jietang listing off half-joke name ideas for aurelius and making him progressively more exasperated. ("what about..... frost?" "that's stupid." "okay, what about blizzard?" "are you fucking with me?" "... maybe a little. i'm not good at names." "yeah that much is clear" ">:(")

aurelius getting lost in a book while reading at the liyue bookstore and barely registering jietang snuggling up next to him with a book of his own.

jietang teaching aurelius how to build snowmen and snow forts and how to make snow angels. all the fun snow activities on dragonspine <3

they visit mondstadt once aurelius has changed enough to not confuse anyone who knows albedo, but venti knows. he always does. he says nothing and just watches quietly as jietang leads the way through the city as aurelius trails behind to take it all in.

aurelius meets xiao and they both know something is up with their mortality (or lack thereof). jietang doesn't pick up on any of this and is honestly too distracted by the fact that he's talking to a real adeptus to care

their confession and first kiss happens on dragonspine. still playing around with when exactly they meet, but i like the idea of it being a bit before the events of the susbedo event. they've known each other for a while when aurelius carries out his plan, and jietang freaks out when he finds out about what happened. he rambles a bit too much in his panic and lets it slip that he loves aurelius the way he is, and he shouldn't have to change to try and gain others' favor. aurelius is taken aback, but returns the sentiment. they kiss, and the rest is history

jietang gets cold easily, aurelius is more used to the cold and warms up easily. cuddling can get a bit difficult to manage but they make it work.

aurelius is the second biggest geology nerd in teyvat (the first being zhongli of course). jietang likes to ask him about interesting ores they come across in their travels.

they both have a massive sweet tooth and love to try all sorts of desserts. they like to make stuff at home together too <3

jietang likes to play with aurelius' hair, so it usually ends up in varying styles every day. on days where jietang is too tired to try out something different, it ends up in the usual braid to ponytail style (aurelius' is fully up, unlike albedo's half-up style)

[gonnachasethestars]

"I'd never ask someone to change themselves! If we weren't all different, what fun would the world be?"

They had Japanese here? Now that was cool, to have native Japanese speakers outside of Japan. A lopsided smile on his face, he was amused to meet someone learning the language. It reminded him of his days working so hard to learn English. Given that the two languages had different roots, it was an extreme learning curve in one learning the other.

"I can break it down. I said 'Boku no namae wa Kuri Kounosuke'.

Boku is what a male standardly uses to refer to himself in proper Japanese. If you're being less formal, it's 'ore'. But be careful, if you're not friends with someone, using 'ore' could result in a fight."

Kounosuke was no English teacher, he was thankful an introduction was easy to explain.

"Namae, translated literally, is 'name', as you could probably already guess, and 'wa' is a particle. 'Boku no namae wa', means 'my name is', and since we introduce ourselves last name first, my full name is actually Kounosuke Kuri, not the other way around."

The tanuki grinned now.

"But that's just being proper. In your average Japanese situation, I'd just refer to myself as 'Kuri Kounosuke desu'. Not a lot of natives use super proper Japanese these days."

A shrug.

"If you ever need help learning, I'll always be here. I'm a world traveler, after all!" Grabbing the camera that had been dangling around his neck, the grin remains. "I'm a freelance photojournalist!"

"Well....your point of view is definitely better." Cinn laughed. "Doesn't mean I'll abandon mine, though." Though they couldn't deny that the other- Kounosuke?- was probably right. It was very rare that bullying stemmed from just a general want to cause problems or revel in the destruction provided.

...though not unheard of.

"Yeah, I don't mind! I honestly prefer folks call me Cinn." They grinned. "And you're right- I thought y'were from the United Federation or somethin'. But, ey, guess that just means your accent is on-point!" Though Cinn had never heard of some place called 'Japan'. Maybe it was in Shamar? Or Chun-nan... They didn't know what an 'American' accent was either, but- the guy was speaking in decent English, so they'd take it as a pro. "I'unno any of the places you listed- though Japanese is spoken in Chun-nan, so! I've got a ballpark of where you're from."

They paused, head tilting as the other spoke in a foreign tongue. It was nice- a bit odd, but nice.

"That sounds like one of the languages I've been tryin' t' learn! And yeah, I do.- But I don't know any of it..." They laughed lightly, scratching the back of their head as they did. "Give me time, and I'll learn, though! All I really know is English and Modern Mobini."

Traversing Teyvat

Chapter 3: Part 1: An Ice Peacock’s Tears

Synopsis: You decide to search for vision bearers, you play out your strategy.

Authors note: Sorry for the delay in posting, was too busy. Had to split it into two parts cuz it might be too long to read.

Warnings: Idk.

< Prologue/1/2/3>

Masterlist

It’s been three days and you fit into Mondstadt’s lifestyle pretty well. Using the skills acquired from your clothing, you blended with the locals, got an apartment for cheap, got discounts for all the items you purchased and became pretty good friends with the NPC’s.

You moved out from the Adventurers quarters and was actually surprised to see Katheryne feel sad when you left. Comforting her, you made sure that the apartment was closer to the guild quarters and to your surprise, you actually got one. Katheryne became bubbly once again and every morning you made it a point to visit her and also pay a visit to Sara.

Though mondstadt is the most comfiest place you have ever been to, you had no intention of settling down for a long term. The games all fun, but you had to return to reality. You had no right living in a world other than your own. The plan was simple, you had to set up a base for you to return to, visit the vision bearers throughout teyvat, try to interact with an archon, if everything fails..just surrender to the abyss. But first you had to get the teleport waypoints to work.

You had gathered as much as resources as possible. You had struck a deal with Wagner where you delivered ore in exchange for a good sword. You exchanged hillichurl drops for clothes and armour at ‘with wind comes glory’. And with all the possible resources gathered, it was high time you visited a vision bearer which was actually less in this real world sized Mondstadt. Freedom to achieve all your goals has reduced the ambition of people living in it, hence not many visions.

It was eight in the morning. You had a hearty breakfast with Sara, who had now literally adopted you inspite of both of you being the same age. You asked Katheryne for a day off, saying you had important things to attend to. And now you set off on the mission. Vision bearer hunting.

You walked up the stairs leading to the Knights headquarters. Most of the vision bearers you knew off were knights. The sun was shining down on you, beads of sweat adorning your nape, your hands shook as you opened the heavy door to the headquarters. You stepped into the headquarters.

It was cool in here, the floor was made of marble and unlike the in game model had a high ceiling. Their were plenty of rows of doors on both the sides with plaques made of gold adorning each of them. There was a huge board showing the directions for each of the departments. The four winds were honoured with marble statues at each corner of the corridor and to add on to the grandeur, a grand stair case leading to the second floor. Unlike any other place in teyvat, the KoF headquarters wasn’t well protected, there wasn’t much to hide. The only protection you saw was a guard standing near the board which had the directions on it. You walked up to him with a big smile. Had to put up an act to convince them that you were actually an important person to actually make an appointment with a knight.

“Hello sir, I am L/N, pleased to make your acquaintance. So, the thing is that I have to make an appointment to meet the cavalry captain…you see, my horse has been a fan of the captain and wishes to be a part of the cavalry and if I could visit the captain, maybe my poor horse’s dream could be fulfilled.” You said with the most convincing performance you could give. Even though the act was nowhere convincing, you somehow hoped the knight would buy it. Seems like thankfully, you were wrong.

“ Ma’am, I understand your aspirations of fulfilling your horse’s wishes but, the cavalry captain is busy at the moment and he doesn’t talk to horses.” The knight replied with, bless his soul, the most confused look a person could ever muster.

At this point you could tell that he felt like he was being trolled and inspite of the wonderful act of horse feelings you put up. He wasn’t actually buying it.

“ Well, I thought the knights were actually accommodative of the citizens dreams and everyone can pursue their goals, apparently they were wrong.” You sighed and took out a hanky and sniffled, “ and I thought that Mondstadt was the city of freedom, apparently now, I am wrong.” You turned to leave, “ It’s okay good sir, My horse will be heartbroken but reality is a harsh truth, I will let him know that the knights have shattered his dreams. Good day to you sir, Good day!” You walked to the door with a dramatic sniff. Your plan had failed and you were aggressively formulating a new one.

Your grumbling and dramatic sniffs echoed in the marble halls of the headquarters. Half hoping that atleast you could attract Jean or Klee. With enough drama you walked back towards the oak doors as loudly as you could.

“ Mam, Please wait a moment…Mam,” The poor knight huffed behind you. Guess your dramatics were beginning to work. With a very confused expression the knight spoke, “ If you are willing to wait for a day or two, I might put a word to the captain. Your horse’s dreams too matter to us”.

This wasn’t good. You had to speak to the Captain.

You had no other choice.

Quivering your lips, you fell to the floor and sobbed dramatically. Not a single tear fell from your eye. High pitched wails filled the room. You gasped and sobbed taking deep breaths and that was enough commotion for an entire year. The poor knight was kneeling beside you and panicking with his hands in his hair. You sobbed even louder. If anyone had passed the corridor they would have thought you had broken up with the knight, when you just wanted your horse to join the cavalry. If you had a horse that is. You heard a creak and a slam from the corner. The knight had left your side and was saluting. You thought he had had enough of your bullshit and was finally going to kick you out. You inhaled to wail louder.

“ My, My, Harry. You have been assigned to look after the headquarters for a day and this is the peace we get. Whatever is the problem?” A voice spoke. Wine, leather and flowers. That was the scent that filled the air. The voice that sarcastically urged you to move every time you were idle, the voice you played every time when you were feeling low and the voice you have etched in every cell of your body. That very voice was now standing in front of you, looking with amusement.

Tall. He was too tall. His hair was naturally blue and his eyepatch was the same. The cavalry captain indeed was very pretty and you could feel heat rise to your face.

“ This lady here has a horse who wishes to join the cavalry and I told her she had to wait but things escalated and uhh…. She started….huh” The knight hesitated and stuttered not wanting to provoke you anymore, scared that you would cry. You covered your face not wanting to show your face which was now turning red with mixed embarrassment and the fact that this would be Kaeya’s first impression of you.

“ Horse?… oh My ~” Kaeya knelt with amusement in his voice. Of course he would have sensed you were lying but the fact that the lie would be so horrendous was what that piqued his interest.

“ My lovely, horse wish fulfilling Maiden would you be, oh so kind to show me your face, I am the Captain who is going to cavalry your horse after all.” He said. His eyes shining with excitement. Not everyone in Mondstadt makes up such creative excuses to see him. You might be a lovestruck maiden most probably and one tiny autograph would be enough to send you spiralling with happiness. If you do have a horse..well that would prove to be useful for him.

You lowered your head and slowly moved your hands away from your face. Your hair covered your face. You weren’t ready to see his face. You didn’t want to look into his eyes. He was the first character you levelled up to 90. He was the one who helped defeat the Raiden shogun. He was the one who got you through tough time and he barely existed. Now that he does exist all you could feel was hesitance and your brain telling you that it’s a lie. A voice screamed in the back of your head pleading you to back away, telling this was a lie. Your eyes which were dry inspite of the aggressive sobbing act you had put up was actually watery now. You would actually break if you met his eyes.

Telling yourself that it’s all a dream and This was yet another your imaginary scenarios you braced yourself.

A warm hand brushed your hair way from your face. Kaeya thought that doing that might be enough to get you going and not bother him. Of course which maiden would not fall for the Cavalry Captain’s charms.

Your eyes were still on the floor.

“Well, then Mam would you please tell me more about the horse. I don’t mind another horse in my stable. Can’t leave a horse’s wish left unfulfilled cant we?” He bent to take a clearer look at your face.

Your eyes met his. He froze. The air grew heavier. Snowflakes started to crop up. His start shaped pupil shank as his eyes widened. His hand which was planning to lift your face for a better look shook. Your eyes were watery and you started to question whether you looked so bad that even Kaeya who had words for everything was speechless.

It can’t be. That was the only thought that ran through Kaeya’s mind. He stood up and said “ Mam, if you may please come to my office, we ill discuss about your horse in private.” His eyes had gone dark. “ Harry, please make sure no one. Interrupts our discussion and make sure no one enters the headquarters, even the grandmaster.” He said in a monotone voice.

A confused Harry nodded “ Sir, what if it’s urgent and the grandmaster really needs to get through ?”

“ I think I made it clear Harry, That No one should enter. If you fail to follow it, there may be consequences”. He hissed with an icy tone. “ Now mam, if you may enter the office that would be delightful” he led you to the door. You looked at him. His face had the most odd expression you had seen, It showed only one expression. Pain. The door shut behind you.

a child to protect (pt 3)

tommy x child!reader || a fun time

tommy gets cloths for (y/n) to wear in the tundra, and has a little fashion show

pt1 pt2 pt3 pt 4

The next morning Tommy got up to steal more things, and make (y/n) more clothes for colder climates. Tommy whent outside to get some wool, having stolen everything he wanted from technos. He needed to get some supplies for his kid.

Tommy opened the door from the basement, walking outside to the cold air. It smelled of winter goodness and blood. Tommy didnt pay to much mind, not even to the fact he was supposed to be hiding. Tommy started his walk to the forest for some sheep. “I think blue would be a good color, ghostbur would love it-”

“HEH tommy what are you doing near my home??” ah. He forgot about the blade. “Hey hey man hahaha funny seeing you here!” techno growled. “It's literally my home, what are you doing here?” tommy looked at the blade. “This is my home! Technoblade i think you've gone a little crazy there bud.” techno pulled out a pickaxe. “Ill sick this threw your teeth, get out of my house tommy.” “blade blade, this is our house! We own it together-” techno was tired of this. “Wait how long have you been here??” tommy grabbed a grapple. “A day or so.” he bite the golden apple. “That's where all my stuff whe- wait is that mine!!!” tommy walked back inside, albeit quickly and panicky. “Finders keepers, besides it was in our house.” “IT'S LITERALLY NOT YOUR HOUSE!” tommy shook his head, eating the apple. “Do you have any wool or something to make cloths with? I need to make some.” “yeah, your outfit is atrocious, it's also torn up and dirty and stuff.” tommy yelled back, “NOT FOR ME BITCH!” techno stood there a bit confused, until he heard a bell sound from below them. “hEH??”

before

 (Y/n) sat in the room, playing with the stick Tommy gave them months before. They had to wait for their dad to come back, but after awhile they got restless. 

(Y/n) heard loud noises upstairs, but they were more determined to find something new to do. Looking around the room, they saw a gold bell next to the prime log. Eyes sparkling, they crawled over to the bell, holding their stick in hand. Sitting next to the bell, they touched the shiny thing, intrigued. They then had a bright idea

Beat the thing with the stick. 

So they started to bang the bell with the stick. It was loud, very loud, they soon stopped and started crying instead. They were really close to the bell and hurt their ears. A faint “hEH'' was heard upstairs, but (y/n) couldn't hear it over their crying. Tommy quickly climbed down the ladders to get to his child. “Hey hey, shhh it's okay, are you hurt?” tommy asks. Rushing over to the small child. They kept crying, Tommy not knowing what to do. “Shh shh hey hey it's okay, it's okay.” he said softly, trying to calm the child. (y/n) over time stopped crying, feeling more and more sleepy as time went on, all the while techno just stared at them, rightfully confused. Tommy rocked his baby till they fell asleep, placing them in their crib. Tommy looked at his child happily, before turning to the person he was fighting a second ago.

“So, got any wool?”

------

Techno, albeit against his will, let tommy and (y/n) stay with him for the time being. In exchange, they had teamed up for the time being. Techno didn't really like his predicament, having to deal with an annoying brat and an orphan, but he had to go with it. The voices enjoyed having the baby around, so techno couldn't kill them.

Shortly after their confrontation, techno went out to gather wool for the two. Tommy took what he had and started to make more clothes for the child. He had learned the basics of sowing from eret way back when, so he tried his best. 

"(Y/n), try this on." The baby looked at him, just wanting to play with the crows that visited often. "No." Tommy sat there, baffled. "D-did you just tell me no??" "No!" "Okay well now you just lying." The kid giggled, continuing to pet the crows. Tommy grabbed his kid, sitting them on his lap. "Your trying this on." The kid pouted, but complied, slipping on the sweater. "Good?" The kid nodded, crawling off tommys lap and sitting with the crows again. 

Tommy sat there for a second, contemplating. "How the fuck do i make pants…"

Tommy had to ask techno if he knew how. He didn't, since he's never had to make pants, so he asked Phil if he had any baby cloths or if he knew how.

“Helloo” techno says as he enters phil's home. “Jesus christ- you know your not allowed in limburg tech.” techno shrugs. “Eh, anyway i came here for something.” phil nodded. “What is it that you need? Ore, food, books-” “i need baby clothes.” “WHAT-” phil wasn't expecting that request. “I need baby clothes, got any? I know wilbur was once a kid so.” phil looked at his old friend questioningly. “Do you have a kid??” techno looked very offended at this. “Ew no id never adopt an orphan. No, tommy needs it.” phil was still confused. “Techno, tommys not a baby-” “NO NOT LIKE THAT! He found a kid so now he's raising them, and they need baby clothes.” phil nodded. “Ohh sorry mate, yeah i think i have some of wilburs old cloths. Lemme go check.”

Phil came back with a bag full of wilburs old clothes, he said just to take it and see which would work for a baby. 

“I wish i could come visit, but tubbo needs me for some fucking reason.” techno nodded. “Thank you phil.” philza smiled. “Anytime, now go, make sure tommy didn't kill any of the animals.” techno panicked. “NO THE TURTLES-” 

------

“Okay little (f/i), we’re gonna try this on okay?” (y/n) nodded, ready for the cool new outfit they are gonna get. 

Tommy pushed a mirror in front of the child. “You like it?” they baby wore a striped yellow sweater with some cute little overalls. They also had snow boots and a beanie to go with it. (y/n) smiled, giggling partly at the fact that they were looking at themself. “You look cute big man! Now, lets see if there's anything else you might like.” 

The rest of the day was spent picking out clothes for them, seeing what fit and what they liked. Tommy was having fun with this, so he suggested they do a fashion show for when philza could visit. The kid was excited at this, wanting to meet the all so old philza minecraft. Tommy took care of the clothes that they didn't like or just plain wouldnt fit, while (y/n) messed with the toys that were found in the bag. 

“TECHNOOOO!” tommy yells, climbing up the ladder. “Whaaat.”he says, in the main part of the house. “Can phil come here tomorrow???” techno climbs down the ladder to meet the loud child. “Why?” tommy throws the bag in a random corner. “(y/n) wants to meet phil and show them their outfits.” tommy says, not as loud as before. Techno sighs. “Ill see if he can.” YEEEES!!! (Y/N) (Y/N) I HAVE GOOD NEWS-” tommy yells, climbing down the ladder as fast as possible. Techno chuckled, getting back to what he was doing prior.

The next day, phil came by as requested. He was excited to meet the young child, remembering when wilbur was young. Philza opened the front door of the cottage. “Helloooo.” techno says as always. “Hey mate, how's the wife?” techno snorted. “Great great, sitting in the boat as always.” they stare at edward who was staring at them as always. “In all seriousness, whos taking care of tommy been?” he asks, sitting down at one of the chairs. “Fine fine, nearly lost my hearing but other than that fiiine.” phil chuckled. “yeah he’ll do that.”

Tommy came up stairs, hearing the new presence come into the house. “Phiiilza, big p how you beeeen!” philza stared at him. “Don't call me that. I've been fine, visiting tech whenever i can. I heard your raising a baby? How's that going.” tommy sat in the chair next to the old man. “Great! (y/n)s been great, having spent some time alone, their happy with the constant attention.” tommy says happily. “What do you mean by alone?” phil asked, concerned on what he meant by that. “Uhh, anyways me and (y/n) wanna put on a little show for you! They wanna show off their new outfits.” phil let it slide, not wanting to pry to hard. “Aww mate, i wanna see the outfits.” tommy smiled, running off. “TECHNO SET THE STAGE. (Y/N) GET HYPED!!” techno snorted, displeased.

Philza chuckled at his old friend. “First i let him into my home, not killing his child, and now i'm doing shit for him? Ugh.” techno works on the little stage area for the two kids. “Calm down mate, he's just excited.” techno rolled his eyes, sitting next to phil. 

“WE’RE BACK!!” startling the two old men, Tommy runs up the stairs with (y/n) covered in a small blanket. He says the outfits are a surprise.

“Ready everyone?” phil and techno say yes while (y/n) says no, their favorite word. “Youre not ready (n/n)?” (y/n) shook their head. “Hat!'' Tommy gasped. “Your hat!” tommy grabs (y/n)s hat from the pile that he brought up and put it on their head. “There! Now you ready?” the kid nodded, getting ready for the fashion show they had been preparing for. 

“Okay!! Go little (f/i)!” (y/n) crawled their way in front of the curtain that blocked the old men from seeing the other two. They tried to stand up, having the help of Tommy to get on their feet. They stood proudly, showing off their winter outfit. They adorned a dark green winter coat, with black pants and little snow boots. They also had a grey beanie to add to the outfit. 

They continued this, philza thoroughly enjoyed the show they had put on, and techno thoroughly hated it. He kept trying to leave, but Phil kept dragging the piglin hybrid back to his seat. He didnt wanna ruin the fun the two were having. 

"Tadaaa!!!" (Y/n) said, having finished the show. Phil clapped happily, while techno slowly clapped as to not be the only one not clapping. Tommy picked up the small child, holding them in his arms. "That was fun, right little (f/i)?" Tommy asks. (Y/n) nodded, giggling happily. "Fun!" Philza laughed, standing up. "I better get going, Don't want ghostbur getting worried." "Awwwww buy you haven't fully met (y/n) yeeeet." Tommy complains, Phil just laughs at him. "I'll be back eventually. Now i have to go. Bye (y/n), you did really well back there." "No!" (Y/n) says, even tho they looked pleased with the compliment. 

"Bye everyone, have fun cleaning that up." Phil says, referring to the stage and piles of clothes. Techno snorts in annoyance while Tommy just ignores phil's comment. Philza leaves the house, closing the door behind him. 

"Anyways, have fun with that techno!!" "Oh no you don't! GET BACK HERE!!!"

endearments

pairing : albedo x gn!reader

summary : having known albedo since forever ago, of course you have silly endearments for him.

word count : 2.2k

what you call him:

(My) Prince

Is the first and the most used nickname you’ve given him! When he was given the title “Kreideprinz”, you had started to call him Prince to make fun of him for it. You swear you call him Prince more than his actual name- it bugged Albedo at first but he eventually warmed up to it

“Prince! Master says that we need to collect slime condensate!” You yell while running to Albedo, who was busy carefully adding droplets of a solution into a flask. Although, due to your sudden outburst, his concentration was ruined and he squeezed the pipette too harshly. The concoction turns from a light blue to a harsh red, the familiar smell of smoke filling the air around you and slight sparks in the flask, but Albedo was too fascinated by the reaction that he didn’t notice.

“Watch out!” Grabbing the glass from Albedo’s hand, you threw it as far away as you could. “What-” Albedo was still confused. Pulling him to your chest and swivelling so that your back faced the direction where you threw the bottle, an explosion erupted and the ground rumbles. Once deemed safe, you let him go.

“I’m sorry that I ruined your experiment but next time, please don’t hold onto the after product of my accident when it clearly gave out sparks and the smell of smoke, my Prince.” You could see Albedo pout the tiniest bit at your tone while he looks away, “Fine, and I thought I told you not to call me Prince.”

Eyes filled with mischief and a soft smile gracing your lips, you were lucky he wasn’t facing you. ‘He didn’t deny that he was mine...’ you thought.

When you and Albedo had been sent to Mond through recommendation by your master, - Albedo being assigned as Chief Alchemist and Captian of the Investigation Team; While you were his assistant and second in command - everyone had first thought that he was an actual Prince. I mean, he had the looks and this regal aura around him so it wouldn’t be surprising if he was one. After many misunderstandings and explanations, the people of Mondstat eventually grow accustomed of your nickname towards the genius.

“Psst, do you reckon they’re staring at us because we’re not from here?” Walking side by side with Albedo, you tried to ignore the curious stares you received from some of the citizens as you climbed the stairs leading to the knights of Favonius headquarters. Some stared openly, some didn’t give you a glance and minded their business.

Not looking up from his newly bought book, Albedo mutters something only you could hear. “Maybe it’s because you yelled ‘what do you want me to cook for dinner, my Prince?’ at the gates.” You think about it for a bit but couldn’t understand what your lover was implying. Albedo snorts slightly, despite you being the same level of knowledge as him when regarding alchemy, you were very oblivious. “Since there is no patriarchy in mondstat, they would be curious if a so called ‘Prince’ were to enter their city.”

A light went off in your head. “Oh! That makes sense, I guess.”

It didn’t matter how serious the situation is or who is around the two of you. It didn’t even matter if Albedo was there at all! You would still refer to him as the nickname and the knights of Favonius (mainly Kaeya) would tease him about it if you weren’t around. The first time you called Albedo ‘Prince’ infront of Kaeya wasn’t eventful but still had an impact on the said alchemist;

“I’ll be at the giant tree in Windrise if you need me, Prince!” You wave goodbye to your partner. “Prince, huh? How cute. Would you like me to call you ‘Prince’ too?” Kaeya teases Albedo as he watches you leave the meeting room. Sorting the numerous transfer documents in his hand, Albedo says nothing but releases a small sigh, “I’d prefer it if Y/n were the only one that does, Captain Kaeya.” Silence fills the room.

Slowly realising what he had just said, Albedo walks away from the knight and to his new lab. Closing the door behind him, he makes sure that no one else is around, sensing if there were any footsteps heading towards his study. Once the coast was clear, Albedo’s gloved fingers card through his hair. Though parts of his ears were hidden among the loose hairs that escaped his braids, it was obvious that the tips were just as rosy as his cheeks. “I told you not to call me that infront of others...”

Starlight

This nickname originated when you paid close attention to the star-like marking on his neck. Though it was slightly unusual, you thought of it as charming and it complimented his outfits very well. Not many people have said this to him before so he doesn’t know how to respond to you.

You would call Albedo ‘Starlight’ when he would be in the state of insecurity and/or doubt. Pulling him aside to another room or a secluded part of a room, you would whisper reassurances and hold his hands or cradle his face. Never will you call him Starlight infront of others, it’s your own secret nickname for him that you would rather people not know about. You call him Starlight to remind him that he is the brightest and most serene person you have met on this earth. To Albedo, it’s comforting and he thanks you for thinking this way of him.

“Starlight, hey, look at me,” you cooed. Albedo looked forward but not at you, softly placing the palms of your hands on his face, you gently forced him to look into your worried eyes. His own no longer held that mesmerising shine and were instead dull and fatigued. “I’m here now. I’m fine. I didn’t leave you.”

One month prior to this scene, you had travelled to parts of Liyue in order to collect ores and minerals for Albedo’s new experiment hypothesis, so being his assistant, you went for him. Promising him that it’ll only take a week, what you didn’t expect was to be ganged up on and ambushed by treasure hoarders, multiple times.

Thankfully, you’re a vision user, meaning that you could easily take down these bandits, but there’s only so much a person can use their powers. Exhausted, battered scathed in multiple places, you decided to rest in Liyue Harbour for a couple of more days. You haven’t even collected half the materials needed for Albedo! You couldn’t just go back to Mondstat almost empty handed. You injuries won’t heal immediately so that means collection time will be much slower than normal, not to mention you have to be cautious travelling back as well.

When finally arriving at your shared home, it was a literal dump. Papers were scattered across the floor and the dishes were piling up. You partner wasn’t home at the moment so you decide to make use of your time and clean the house. Hours pass by and the door creaks open, Albedo walks in. He notices that the house is much more clean than the state he last left it in, his guard is up. That is, until you walk out from the kitchen, sleeves rolled up with a wooden spoon at hand.

“Welcome back!” Albedo’s eyes must be tricking him again. He wouldn’t be surpised since he hasn’t had proper rest since your departure, only ever taking two or three hour naps on occasion. He pinched the bridge of his nose and squeezed his eyes shut, hoping the ‘hallucination’ of you would disappear, but you didn’t. Brows furrowed and plenty of blinking, Albedo concludes that you are, in fact, real.

He slowly makes his way over to you, trapping you in his hold. Burying his face between your neck and shoulder, Albedo relishes in your presence and scent. He wasn’t aware that he was trembling, all of his exhaustion and constant state of insecurities finally catching up to him, until you cupped his face, which leads to now.

You would also sometimes call him Starlight to express worry. To maintain his serenity, he needs to look after himself, of course . Times like these are usually when he doesn’t come out of his study for the whole day. This means he most likely hasn’t eaten or drank anything during this period. You would occasionally pop in with a meal and force him to take a break. Albedo gets slightly irritated at the interruption but he knows you mean well in the long run.

During these breaks he would ask about your day, have you been working on a new experiment of your own or have you found anything that may prove useful in the future, all of that. You happily answer all of his questions, asking some of your own too.

Knock, knock. “Come in.” Opening the door to Albedo’s laboratory you balance two plates, one in the palm of your left hand and the other resting on your forearm. “Sorry to interrupt, but you haven’t left your study all day, Starlight.” Albedo catches onto the use of the nickname, so, having no desire to start a fight between the two of you, he pushes aside unnecessary books off of his desk to make room.

Knowing that Albedo’s appetite was small, you made only a few slices of meat on his dish with a selection of vegetables. The other plate in your grasp had a stack of cookies, freshly made from the comfort of your own home. You hear Albedo mutter a small thanks and started to dig into the food you brought him. While he focused on eating, you focused on him.

The afternoon light that penetrated through the window and lit the room had beautifully graced Albedo with its rays. Golden hour seems to favour the young alchemist as it kisses his skin gently. You watched as his light, ashy, blonde hair frames his face, a few loose strands escaping the braid you put up for him this morning before work. Comfortable silence fills the room except for the scraping of utensils.

Albedo wasn’t sure if he should bring up the way you looked at him in times like these. Your irises were filled with so much affection and love, he could almost see his reflection of how brightly your eyes shone at him. Though, Albedo keeps quiet. Afraid that you may become shy and refuse to look at him. He rather enjoys being the centre of your attention.

bonus ::

what he calls you:

Häschen = bunny

Albedo will only ever call you this if he wants something, such as: to see you blush or simply because he’s in a teasing mood. I’d say the endearment formed because you look or act cute to him. The first time he’d call you Häschen would be a complete accident.

While Albedo was sorting and writing documents about his new found discovery, you were lazing around on the sofa, in your back with arms raised, reading a rather interesting book. To his dismay, Albedo’s ink pot, after hours of torture, was beginning to run out. Not looking up from his papers, Albedo didn’t want his concentration and motivation to deplete if he got up. “Could you get me another ink pot, Häschen?” Albedo asks you politely, unaware of what he just said.

A loud thud bounces off the walls and enters the alchemist’s ears. Glancing at you rather than the book on the floor, he sees crimson flare across your cheeks and the tips of your ears. Despite the slow throbbing coming from the bridge of your nose and forehead, you didn’t mind it all. Rather, the blood that rushed to your face masked it, making you only feel a radiating heat. “W-What did you call me?” Thinking back to what he said, Albedo soon matched the expression on your face.

Albedo takes advantage of the fact that the two of you were from a different part of Teyvat, where the language is different. He calls you Häschen infront of others on purpose to watch your reaction, while the others around you don’t understand what it means.

“Sorry to cut the conversation short but Häschen and I need to head out to Dragonspine while the sun is still up.” Your eyes almost bulge out of their sockets as you whip your head to face Albedo in a double take, giving him a look. If you looked close enough, you could see the mischievous and knowing glint in Albedos eyes. Trying your best not to show your growing blush, you feign interest towards the floor.

“Häschen?” Jean, the acting grand master, asks out loud what everyone else in the room were thinking. Silently pleading to yourself that Albedo won’t say anything about it, sweat rolled down your temple. “Ah, it’s Y/n’s other name. I say it out of habit sometimes.” Albedo couldn’t hide the teasing tone in his voice from anybody at this point. Having enough, you grasp the fabric over Albedo’s elbow and began to drag him out of Jean’s office. “Alrighty, guess we better head off now. Bye, everyone.”

Making sure that nobody was in earshot, you scolded your lover, letting go of his coat and stopped walking to face him. “I thought I asked you to stop calling me that infron of everyone.” Albedo raises an eyebrow and crosses his arms, “will you stop calling me ‘Prince’?” Exaggerating a gasp, you clutched the area over your heart, faking hurt. “Now, why in The Seven would I do that?” Albedo chuckles at you and ruffles the top of your head. “Exactly,” he tuts.

a/n :: apologies if there was a mistranslation with Häschen, I used google translate-

I am also aware that Mondstat is based on Germany but lets ignore that as well-

Meet Vanyar and finding out they had questionable idea of what’s dangerous and what’s not

Avoid young historians trying to interview him for their research paper

Avoid young romance writers trying to interview him about tragic unhealthy unrequited love

Avoid Noldor in general but that was actually easy Aman was large

Tried to plant flowers and failed

Somehow kept gaining cats

Flowers failed because cats eating plants

Cultural shock of learning about CPR and had ribs fractured

Did manage to improve the tank design

Getting invited to some Avari’s forest

Enjoyed the food

Turned out it was a ploy to exploit his labor in their Great War against invasive plants

Aka “spending a nice few days helping us in the garden we have mushroom stew”

Their idea of garden was a whole fucking forest

Actually brought home some plants that were easy to maintain

Invasive plants WERE easy to maintain

Looking for ores in the mountains

Almost getting eaten by giant cats extinct in Beleriand

Still better than the worst “looking for ores” experience

Actually learned to research safe areas and bring backups

Hunters disagreed

Chiefs disagreed

Every artist in need of carving knives and chisels disagreed

Local metal engraver: wtf are you talking about I want my engraving tools sharper than Angrist”

Okay so people were still obsessed with sharp metal things

He sometimes thought about the sword he stole, which hated him but helped him in Unnumbered Tears and used to sing

There were blades he made that were probably still around though might be in wrong hands

But that sword was no more, he saw what they did to that in Angband

The result of the first crime he did

Why everything always started with stealing things?

Some people tried to teach him their music

Failed at singing, failed at playing their instruments, failed at making their instruments

“Ah no worries we’re not Noldor we do not ask for perfection and there is no perfection just go with the flow? It’s a party and have some fun?”

Kept getting dragged to party but they had good food and the food was free

So they did have interesting mushrooms

Went to see the dead Two Trees and they were still beautiful

Group hiking on Yavanna’s field (bad idea, elves were NOT apex predators on that field)

Bonfire! (With deadly unfriendly giant beasts lurking in the dark around)

“What are the Silmarils like?” (Nobody in the group was born before the Darkening)

He thought he did not know then he realized he did saw two of those but he did not want to talk about the experience

Another person answered for him and pointed to the sky

Oh

He tried to kill that child

He tried to kill that child because there was no hope they were losing and there was no hope and the child was the hope for the city and the hope was fake there was no hope

But he was wrong and it was good he was wrong

The star did arise

I just want to read Maeglin-in-Valinar slice-of-life fic

The thing is I’m not even sure how long he’ll stay in Mandos

—————

Different with Feanor and his sons, Maeglin’s choice was rather limited (Of course whether the Oath had power to push someone is still not clear)

The issue was his bad free choice was to break rules and wander around.

The action itself was not evil

It even had a good reason (to look for resources likely to strengthen the city’s defense)

Getting snatched up to Angband was the problem

Like, the only argument people can make is saying he should let himself be killed or kill himself but that is not something can be asked from anyone

The issue was, the choice was between death (good luck on that, especially if they had methods to prevent people from suiciding), being forever tortured until someone defeat Morgoth (too bad elves were immortal), and do what was asked

(It’s seldom appreciated enough how much Hurin sacrificed for Gondolin)

The issue was, he would not be able to choose with a sane mind. And people make horrible decisions when they are not entirely sane

The issue was, when a person viewed something more important than other things, they would choose to save the one thing and sacrifice the rest when they get pushed enough

It’s so easy to imagine how it can be done. Like, simply convince him Gondolin had no hope to win. Then he would try to bargain for what he thought he could preserve.

And Morgoth can be very convincing when he try to make you believe there was absolutely no hope

If Spell of Terror was real (or Morgoth created PTSD) Maeglin was already under the curse that fell on every Unnumbered Tears survivor.

Then he got a new one (Morgoth overdid the work when he wanted to overdo the work)

He could be convinced that the city would lose anyway. If he told anyone and tried to resist or help people run away there would only be more punishment coming. At least he’ll get to save Idril and part of the city is he stayed quiet.

But he also might hope the city would stand. He did not want to tell he betrayed the city; the cliff was right there. Maybe everything was still going to be okay even if he stayed silent.

—————

All of his bad decisions can be explained. Loss of hope. Loss of faith in there would be hope when there seemed to be no hope. Loss of mental strength due to getting tortured and already having ptsd.

Yet his action allowed evil to happen and he did evil himself. But it was not done under a sane mind and it’s very hard to decide how free his choices were.

If Namo judged people based on how evil they were (I actually do not headcanon Namo that way, I don’t think Mandos was a jail) it’s difficult to judge him

—————

I think the issue with how long he was going to stay depended on how much mental damage he got

Which was… Horrible

But it was also tricky because we really do not know how elves’ mind work

Or if Mandos was actually extremely cozy and you just want to find a nice corner with tapestries of forests from Years of the Lamps and SLEEP

Based on Maeglin’s record, he was the character who kept actively doing things. He went to Gondolin. He went to Unnumbered Tears. He built the seventh gate. He went to the mountains against the rule. He went to attack Idril and Earendil (good job Tuor!)

It makes sense if he became unsure of his own decisions post Mandos and avoid doing things.

I personally think it also makes sense he would be like “no I still need to DO things but I’ll discuss my decisions with other people next time”

My personal headcanon is he was not the kind of person to heal through living quiet life and doing nothing; he was the type that learned things through actions

I just think, of course he’ll be not okay even after Mandos but the thing is he would absolutely put up a rather good rather normal rather okay facade 24/7 (Habit and Noldor pride)

I mean he was adult. Young adult with unprocessed childhood shit (even in the case that his parents did love each other) and guilt over death of parents and improper crush and likely anxiety and later cases and cases of ptsd. Still an adult.

Adults are stupid because they are not going to behave like a child. Adults say they are okay when they are not. Adults are tired and try as much as they can anyway. Adults feel horrible and stay in bed whole day then the next day will force themselves to get up for grocery. Adults live even when they sometimes see no point. Of course adults break but they did not let everyone around to see. Adults try to make themselves appear functional and normal and try to get better and help themselves.

—————

I just really really want to see Maeglin-in-Valinor fic that focuses on him trying to live instead of apologizing to people…

The issue with apologies is sometimes people you wronged do not want to see you. They do not want to even hear about you because even the thoughts of you triggered their traumas

And that’s justified; people have the right to not forgive and they can move on without forgiving those who hurt them

Apologizing for your wrongdoings and getting forgiven help you to move on from your guilt but sometimes you will not get that and will have to live with that guilt

That’s one of the real punishments

Like, I just want to read Maeglin trying to have a life? And actually find out the world is large and wonderful even when he was super depressed? (Aman was HUGE)

Someone pls write a recover-from-horrible-young-adulthood-depression-and-do-your-hobby-and-forgive-your-parents fic

c!sbi + reader; meeting + bonding? time !

in this, you're related to niki !

unedited

c: philza, wilbur, techno, tommy

meeting-

you met the boys through wil actually

wilbur came around your house a lot when you were growing up

though you didn't talk a whole whole lot, due to you being socially anxious, you still felt fairly close to wil :)

it took a while for you to meet everyone

wilbur had to babysit you for a few hours, n so he took you to his home

phil was the only person home that day

n due to his fatherly nature, you had gotten close to him quite quickly

wil got bored n left the room lmao

so you stayed with phil for a while

helping him make lunch before his other children came

about five minutes into your break, as you were sitting on the counter eating fruit snacks

tommy came in

very loudly too :/

he scared you and you almost fell lol

as soon as he turned the corner into the kitchen

"wot the fock"

after a few silent moments

he began screaming about how there was a stranger eating his fruit snack

though he sure as hell shut up when techno walked in

you were quite terrified at the moment

there was a child screeching at you and a very intimidating man behind him

and why were all these boys so tall??

anyway, after phil calmed down tommy

you n him brought the lunch into the living room

all of you ate in silence, besides wil and phil thanking you for doing food

bonding?-

philza:

since you only had niki and wil growing up, it was nice to have a real father figure to look up to

you often helped the man cook meal for the boys !

you had also managed to learn a few things about potions while watching him

and surprised him with a regen potion one day he cried a little bit

it was nice to have another person who had some common sence

philza quite enjoyed being around you

you were always very helpful, and eager to learn things

the two of you occasionally sat on the porch as he would tell you stories

there was one story, that you had asked him to re-tell you about a million times

it was about how him and kristin met

you always found the story so fascinating and got so excited when he would tell it

wilbur:

you and wil definitely got closer after a bit

staying in his room and watching him play his guitar

you helped him with his songs alot

you had eventually convinced him to teach you a bit

though he acted like he was annoyed, you could tell he enjoyed it

you also helped him with house chores !

which rarely ever got done because you were to busy dancing to the music and singing into broom handles

made him a guitar pick when his finally broke

his initials were carved into it so that "nobody could steal it since it has his name on it"

gave you the biggest hug :( /pos

being around wilbur is always just so fun

techno:

to say you were scared of him at first was an understatement

you were terrified

that was until you had seen him outside, reading a book near a tree

he looked so peaceful? how could he be scary what?

so you decided to join him

this became a recurring thing

not talking much unless you both were at that tree

he usually read to you while you picked up flowers and such

made him a pretty flower crown hndujsn

you also really liked carl!

helped techno groom him

he really enjoyed spending time w you

tommy:

well,,, it took a while for you and tommy to get along

he just didn't like you :/

rude ass bitch smh

but when he was finally okay with you

you helped him out a lot

whether it was creating chaos or going mining, you were there

mining was probably your favorite thing to do with tommy

it was quite relaxing actually

he didn't usually keep his loud persona around you

you both got excited over finding even the most basic ores

there was a time where you had fallen off the side of a short ravine

and i don't think tommy has ever panicked that much

thankfully, you weren't very hurt

but while you were recovering, he stayed with you alot

he was so worried when you fell, and just wants to make sure you'll be safe now

he also shares his fruit snacks w you :D

all:

movie nights were a very common thing

they almost always invited you and niki over

though niki couldn't attend very often, she always had you bring them something from the bakery

the boys all loved having you over

even though it usually added more chaos

"no! (y/n) put the bowl down"

"if you guys don't stop fighting i will take your fruit snacks away"

tommy was always the first person to fall asleep :/

and then get mad when the movie was over and he missed it

but he also got mad when you woke him up??

what do you want from us tommy, please

moving on

lots of food fights happened-

techno usually started them by throwing popcorn at wil-

mmmh yay now we'll have to spend 3 hours cleaning the house

phil, tech, n tommy are the ones who clean because, again, you and wil are dancing

it's always really nice having you over though

you and niki are like family to them :D

Translations of the group chats in the character book, p. 180-184

Okay, this got done faster than I assumed! Anon asked for the translations of pages 180-184 of the “Roll Book Time”, here you are. This was a fun way to procrastinate instead of doing stuff I should be doing. xD

This one needs a big disclaimer, though. I’m not good with slang expressions and the kind of colloquial language teenagers use. ^^; This was excellent practice though and I learned a lot, but I’m far from certain of every little thing. So if you spot mistakes, don’t hesitate to tell me. I want to know if I got something wrong. (The third one’s been translated before by ansatsu database, so that I was able to crosscheck. I decided to do it too, cause it connects to the second one.)

Also, I left the time stamps in the translations in those cases were they actually matter. ^~ The last one is my favorite, I think. xD

12:35 Taisei: What’s embarrassing?

12:36 Terasaka: The pool that octopus made Let’s blow it up!

12:48 Muramatsu: We're not listening to the octopus, right? [the verb here is in kana and not kanji, so it could be something else than listen, but anything else makes even less sense]

12:49 Taisei: There’s that

12:49 Muramatsu: We’re far from others in our class though

12:50 Terasaka: Huh? Are you chickens?

And aren’t you guys’ reactions way slow here?

13:01 Hazama: Say, what’ll we do about the slithery thing?

13:01 Taisei: Supplementary lessons are crap, but going once is ok, right?

13:02 Terasaka: Hey! Didn’t we agree to avoid those

We’re talking about the slithery stuff here you know

13:10 Hazama: But I hear it seems good

13:11 Taisei: Yeah, Hara said that too

13:11 Muramatsu: Oh, I wonder if that’s true

Okajima: By the way how is it, Itona!? Do you like any of the girls?

Itona: Yada Touka

Hiroto: That’s easy to understand… ^_^;

Okajima: I know the feeling… my favorite recently has been the tsundere princess ❤️

Hiroto: Hayami? Except for her *** Isn’t the slender type your thing

Itona: Slender at first look, but there are also good things

Okajima: As expected, Itona gets it. What about you Maehara?

Hiroto: Me? Actually during the assassination trip, I got close to this girl who happens to live nearby. These days she’s been the one.

Okajima: Damn you… had the nerve to do your thing

CHIKURIN (Ritsu): Hey you all, don't forget my existence ( ` ・ω・ ´ )

*** I don’t know what Maehara is saying there about Hayami. Simple sentence but it beats me. 速水か以外だな Hayami ka igai da na = Hayami (question particle) ‘expect for’ ‘be’ (particle used to soften the expression of emotion, desire, assertion etc.)

(also, a linguistic note for anyone interested: learned a way to “swear” in Japanese. Okajima used there at the end the auxiliary verb yagaru, which was quite interesting)

Korosensei: Oops, is this only for girls… This isn’t at all just to satisfy curiosity. Sensei just wants to understand the students’ feelings. Being a teacher through and through.

9:54 Irina: Nagisa’s mother is coming to meet the homeroom teacher. It’s a big fuss. I said I could take your place but I was turned down.

9:55 Karasuma: I was also contacted here. I’m saying this just in case, but be very careful

* I find it a bit funny that the word that Irina uses, tekitou, has two meanings: 1) suitable; proper; appropriate; adequate 2) perfunctory; half-minded; sloppy; careless; irresponsible

I think it’s also noteworthy that she wrote it there in katakana and not in kanji. In my experience, words are written in kana when they’re used for the colloquial meaning… so I wonder exactly what were you saying there, Bitch-sensei? xD

Customs Check

Maggie hadn’t expected it to be so easy to scam the Imperial Authority, but then, Imperial Authority had a lot of work and there were nearly a thousand ships waiting to get through Customs. With papers that looked legitimate, presented by someone who looked like money, they were waved through with barely a glance. Maggie made a mental note of it, but since the lax security wasn’t actually hurting anybody, she probably wouldn’t do more than mention it to Luka.

Luka probably wouldn’t do anything about it either, except maybe put an Intelligence agent on the checkpoint to make sure nothing toodangerous was coming through.

“We’re never going through another checkpoint without you riding point,” Zaaba decided on their way back to the ship. Maggie laughed, still in the guise of Young Money with Zaaba and Kady serving as her personal bodyguards. Women, even those with obvious Other heritage, like Kady’s quarter-troll blood, were underestimated. It occasionally infuriated Maggie, but for now, it was useful. Being underestimated meant that no one was looking to closely at them for hidden motives. “That was the smoothest check-through we’ve had in years.”

Of course, it didn’t hurt that Maggie had a great many permissions on the ident card of Maggie Gol, including the authorization to bring whatever she wanted through a checkpoint.

That, however, was a secret she would keep to herself unless they found trouble. Zaaba would have questions if she knew, and Maggie didn’t want to try and explain why the Red Baron’s sister had Imperial Authorization.

“Why would they assume a problem?” Maggie said when they reached the Blackbird. “We have paperwork and don’t look like trouble. Customs only look closer when someone ha paperwork and looks nervous.”

“I expected you to look nervous,” Zaaba told her and raised her voice to their pilot. “Hey, Clunk, we’re clear. Get the hov-sled loaded up so we don’t have to carry everything to Salteyes’s people by hand. You’re cool under pressure, aren’t you, Girlie?”

“Unless there’s big magic, a gun to my head, or my brother in a temper, I assume it’s something I can handle.”

“You were alright with the kidnapping, too.”

“It wasn’t my first. I’m going to go get changed. This getup is pretty, but it’s been months since I wore any makeup and my face itches.”

“Yeah, go ahead, but get down here. I want you on delivery with us. You’re one of our better spell-slingers and I don’t trust Salteyes.”

“Alright. Ten minutes?”

“No hurry. Getting here was the hard part.”

A quick change later, her expensive dress, jewelry, and heels once again hidden in the bottom of her duffle, and Maggie made her way back down to the cargo hold. It was strange to realize that she felt ore like herself in rough canvas pants and a loose cotton shirt than she did in the polished finery she had lived in for most of her life. Maybe it wasn’t so unexpected, though. Luka felt the same, if his fondness for his red leather jacket was any indication.

By the time she was back, the hov-sled was loaded and they were ready to go. Maggie slid down the rail of the cargo hold just in time for Zaaba to pull her up to sit on top of the crates. As soon as they were ready, Clunk, who had no visible Other heritage but was a good pilot and a better sniper, pulled them out of the ship. Kady waved as she closed down the ship. Until they were back, no one would be getting on or off.

“We’re spending a week here,” Zaaba said as Clunk drove the hov-sled towards their drop-off point. “Next job is meeting us, so there’s time for everyone to have some fun once we get paid. Don’t to anything or anyone stupid, and if you get arrested, bail is coming out of your pay. Check in at least once every twenty-four solar hours. Everyone clear?”

“Aye, Captain,” Maggie said with the rest, entirely amused by the speech Zaaba gave every time they went on leave for a few days. Maggie had arranged for most of her own pay to go into a small account tied to her larger, personal accounts. It was pocket money compared to the royal account she shared with Luka, but her finances were her own business. “Are we still doing ship dinners?”

“If someone feels like making something, but frankly, I’m planning to eat out most of the time. We work too hard to eat our own cooking when we’re in port.”

A week. A glorious week of freedom to wander around Seti Base, which was as safe as anywhere, considering it was a newer base, and still had a substantial Imperial presence keeping the peace. There was plenty of fun to be had, too. Maggie had already sent a message to Luka to see if he wanted to meet up. The Rojawas never too far away, and he could usually find some excuse to be wherever he wanted to be. He had replied in minutes, promising to be there the next day.”

And she missed her brother.

“You especially, Girlie,” Zaaba said with a great deal of meaningful eye contact that was probably supposed to be a warning. “Don’t you get kidnapped again.”

“The last time was your fault,” Maggie pointed out dryly, and waved her captain off. “Relax, Zaaba. My brother is flying in tomorrow.”

“Red Baron is gonna be in port?”

“My brother Luka is going to be in port.”

Zaaba still had some trouble with the what of Luka, and his relationship to Maggie. Maggie was just hoping her captain didn’t kill her when she eventually found out who Luka, and Maggie, really were.

“Fine, fine,” Zaaba allowed reluctantly. “Are we gonna meet him?”

“If you want to. I promise he doesn’t bite.”

“Doesn’t have to, if he’s as electrical as you.”

“He’s not. So, what is there to do on this rock? I’m thinking dancing. There’s gotta be somewhere that has decent drinks and decent music.”

Anime Rankings

Some personal rankings for anime I’ve checked out since this past fall. Which has tended to involve a lot of genderbending, magical girls, queer girls, and murderous girls, making for a pretty colorful mix. Most of these are shows/seasons I’ve watched to completion, I’ll note any exceptions.

Shows are tentatively ordered within ranks, but the categories themselves are more significant. I’m assuming watching with subs, there’s been big improvements to dubs over time but older dubs often leave a lot to be desired. Note that shows here are not necessarily free of various kinds of Anime Bullshit.

When I tried to actually explain the premises of the shows, it turned into a big mess very fast, so I’m sticking with brief comments here but I can elaborate if requested.

---

Rank A:

School Days

Magical Girl Ore

Revolutionary Girl Utena

My favorites of the bunch. School Days has gotten a lot of hate, but it’s an extremely underrated show that tops the list for its clever deconstruction of toxic masculinity. Magical Girl Ore is a rare example of F>M genderbending and I found it a lot of fun, although its humor isn’t always the most tasteful. Utena is extremely strange and certainly earns its reputation of "content warning everything", it’s also what started getting me back into anime about six months ago.

These three don’t have the broadest of target audiences, but I love all of them.

---

Rank B:

Fabiniku (“Life with an Ordinary Guy Who Reincarnated into a Total Fantasy Knockout”)

Revue Starlight

Magical Girl Raising Project

Saga of Tanya the Evil

So I’m A Spider, So What?

Blood-C

Some other shows I really enjoyed for various reasons, with quite a range of tones. Fabiniku is the lightest of the bunch, followed by Revue Starlight, and both of them are adorable. So I’m A Spider is pretty comedic overall but does get quite violent. (Those three are certainly the least eyebrow-raising of my current high ranks.)

Magical Girl Raising Project and Blood-C are on the much darker end of the scale and are particularly grisly, but they’re both fascinating in their own ways. Meanwhile, Tanya is, well, Tanya.

Spy x Family is still airing so I’m not fully ranking it yet, but once the season finishes, it’ll probably go here. In addition, expanding the scope to associated movies would put the movies for Revue Starlight and Tanya somewhere in here as well.

---

Rank C:

Princess Tutu

Kashimashi: Girl Meets Girl

Miss Kuroitsu from the Monster Development Department

Sailor Moon (S1)

Zombieland Saga (S1)

Slayers (S1)

This gets into the section where I have some more mixed feelings, shows I found usually fun but on shakier ground. Princess Tutu took some time for me to warm up to, but it’s quite good. Kashimashi is not good in any conventional sense, but I love it anyway. Miss Kuroitsu is generally pretty funny but also has its share of less-than-tasteful humor.

Sailor Moon and Slayers are classics but are noticeably dated. Zombieland Saga is pretty entertaining when its scenes land, which isn’t always. I've split off the second seasons of those three, although I haven’t yet watched far enough in Slayers Next to rate it.

High Guardian Spice isn’t an anime despite being on an anime site, but it would go somewhere in here. The Utena movie is very difficult to evaluate but would probably also go here. I could also throw in Konosuba and Isekai Quartet - at least their first seasons, which are what I’ve watched. They’re pretty funny but not the most memorable and don’t really fit my usual focus areas here, so I’m hesitant to actually rank them.

---

Rank D:

Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches

Ranma 1/2 [to ep22]

Zombieland Saga Revenge

These all have some appeal, but are hard for me to recommend watching in full. Yamada-kun is pretty fun when it’s not being uncomfortably horny or trying to have an actual plot, which is unfortunately most of the second half. Ranma is the oldest show here, I really enjoyed the first 13 episodes but then found it to get less funny and increasingly obnoxious. I think I’ve gotten as far as I can without using a watch list to seek out specific highlights. Zombieland Saga Revenge is fine, but I found it a bit dull and didn’t really like the season’s premise.

---

Rank E:

Sailor Moon R [to ep24]

Even after starting to use a watch list for Sailor Moon R, I still don’t think I’ve found an episode that’s better than mediocre. @delvinanaris has assured me that there's interesting stuff yet to come, so maybe this will go up a tier by the time I finish, but I don’t see it leaving the low ranks.

Blood-C’s movie would go here. It's pretty weak and contributes little, and even following the action can be tough with how terrible the lighting is.

---

Rank F:

Kämpfer [to ep2]

Kämpfer is garbage. I heard about its main character genderbending into a magical girl and foolishly got my hopes up for a character like in Magical Girl Raising Project or Miss Kuroitsu, but with a larger role. This was... not that. It's not even bad in a funny way, it’s just obnoxious in all the worst Horny Anime Bullshit ways. I suggest avoiding it.

---

That wraps up the rankings, as well as the admittedly silly number of almost-rankings. For others looking for genderbending, the relevant ones are Magical Girl Ore, Fabiniku, Magical Girl Raising Project, Saga of Tanya the Evil, So I’m A Spider, Kashimashi, Miss Kuroitsu, Yamada-Kun, Ranma, and (ugh) Kämpfer.

On that note, Zombieland Saga and High Guardian Spice have more realistic trans characters that I quite liked. (Personally I’d say Princess Tutu also has viable trans readings, but that’s getting further from the point.) Alternatively, for those who’ve brushed off School Days, maybe this will inspire another look at it.

Again, there’s plenty of colorful stuff here, so if you do check out any of these shows, don’t expect them to be particularly clean. (With how much I post about kid’s shows, I feel like I need to emphasize that.) But for those who are on board with that, maybe something will grab your interest.
