Playing a pathetic loser but also beating all the superheros (or just 'winning' via running away/stalemate) is so funny. I had three panic attacks and got 0 hours of sleep yesterday but I just put the leader of the Glory Hounds into a hole and then turned around and defeated two more. and then I ahd another panic attack. Everyone has to sit around the GH HQ (the doghouse?) later and quietly deal with the fact that the guy they saw throwing up before the fight kicked their asses and got away after.

The route to true mastery of parahuman combat: neuroticism.

This kicks a lot of ass! Poor soggy Morgan needs some friends. Or a plush sheep to cuddle.

Morgan.... My pathetic wet little kitty cat..... She's not doing okay @drinkyourvillainjuice

Wait I have a question. When your Mc transforms, is the Goop (?) Black stuff like a full bodysuit that covers your whole face and body? I'm trying to understand how it looks :'3

The membrane is mostly upper body - it covers their entire arms, shoulders, and head, and some of their chest/back, but it doesn't extend further down unless they're consciously trying to get it to do that. (Or mutating, where their whole body just does its own crazy thing)

So I guess for a visual, more like something's been dumped over their head and has trickled partway down their body than it being a bodysuit.

I want to see how the superhero fans in the media acts around a Libra who fights against Dime and they have a lot of sexual tension. Be aware Phalanax, a new ship is being created :>

Maybe a triangle love :>

the mask fandom, feverishly shipping this weird greasy tendril person with just about anyone they encounter: hahah yes yes yes!

the sane part: why are you like this

the former part: TENTACLES.

[drinkyourvillainjuice]

For real tho a messed up dime who's kind of good and gentle being so pissed at Beth to the point that altruists once heard a "but no killing, that's bad" from their mouth also see them see phalanx and go "...just this once."

Basically a tranquil mc who tweaks out on Beth, catalyst and hypothesis (when possible). Unstable mcs are fun.

*scribbling things down frantically*

Mal and Dime.

Regent: Hey, we make a pretty great team.  Grue: You were absolutely no help whatsoever.  Regent: [shrugs] Eh.

[drinkyourvillainjuice]

replaying the game becasue of the update and accidentally killing a man leading to Mal being really unhappy with MC (or maybe just full on distrust what makes sense) makes me oddly happy to see consequences of the players actions.

always gonna enjoy MC making bad choices forever and fucking everything up.

ooooh I'm glad you liked the variance! It was really fun to code in the alternate versions of that (ft. numerous different ways Dime can react, depending on your attitude towards killing), and I enjoyed getting to write angry Mal, too. It's the first time I got to show that side of them and I had a good time with it.

[drinkyourvillainjuice]

Hey speaking of tentacles, can Dime change their texture at all. I am asking for very normal reasons.

oh yeah TOTALLY normal uh huh uh huh

yes if they tried but I'm mad you asked

[drinkyourvillainjuice]

Mutation dime can make mouths and eyes why not other body parts. It would be funny in the middle of battle.

PRISON

How delightful! A soggy scaredy little cat indeed they are! Poor them.

finally got around to drawing my scaredy-cat Dime who is always making self destructive choices, from @drinkyourvillainjuice's game.

Their name is Seren Lake, even if they're not using that name anymore, kind of sad when your own name doesn't feel like your name anymore.

[drinkyourvillainjuice]

Just throwing this out there but power specialist!Dime has been shown fusing their tendrils with other parts of their body...

Y'ALL ARE ON THIN ICE.

[drinkyourvillainjuice]

So how sensitive are Dime's tendrils? y'know, for science

*slowly narrows eyes*

They've got like, a normal range of sensitivity not dissimilar to the hands/fingers.

[drinkyourvillainjuice]

can lullaby be passive aggressive to dime the next time they meet (๑･̑◡･̑๑) please (๑･̑◡･̑๑) there’s zero ulterior motives for wanting lullaby to make underhanded comments to dime’s face (๑･̑◡･̑๑)

oh yeah sure tosahobi-if who has never been googly eyed over lullaby ever, tosahobi-if who would of course not have any kind of ulterior motive for lullaby talking down and condescending to dime

yeah...

[drinkyourvillainjuice]

Author just saw and HAD XER HAND OVER XER MOUTH oh my GOSH this is so fricking cool!!

Weird guy.

[drinkyourvillainjuice]

How monstrous does mutation mc get? Is it kind of headcannon area? I know there's descriptions of stuff that changes and mutates, but is that it or does the mc at large also seem different?

That's the fun part, it depends on the mutation of the moment! So far, MC has remained roughly humanoid but maybe there's room for greater extremes. Like Prii's version of the power wound up with full-on raptor legs.

[drinkyourvillainjuice]

My crack theory is that all of this has just been a hallucination after MC hit their head on a beam in the warehouse, all my friends are alive and unharmed trust the delulu

Shout out to the scrapped scene I wrote where MC could smash their face off a brick wall then fall down a hole.
