#people that are addicted to cozy games just don't get it

[isekyaaa]

An interesting story idea that's been floating around in my head from playing Fields of Mistria is the idea of someone that has a rough job full of stress and drama suddenly calling it quits and moving to the country side to become a farmer. And at first, everything is great. Their neighbors are nice. Everyone in the town gets along.

But the more time they spend there, the more... eerie it gets. Like everything is perfect. Everything. Their crops grow perfectly. Their animals never get sick. There is no drama within the town. And as much as it is eerie, it's also... boring in a way. Nothing new happens. Nothing ever changes. Things keep going as they should. Everybody continues on with their perfect little lives as if they never faced a day of trouble within their life.

And the when you sit down and really think about it.... You realize. You're fundamentally different from these people. From this little world they created. You're from the real world. You've faced and are aware of real world problems. Your life isn't perfect, even if the tiny world around you is. You're still mentally ill. You still have family problems. Your friends from out of town have their dramas.

And, in a way, you find yourself longing for what you left behind. At least that world felt real. At least your actions had real weight to them. At least you knew how to navigate the world.

And that's all I got.

୨୧ On Purpose Karma x (fem) Reader I| Chapter: 05 ୨୧

Prev || 05 Un? Fortunate || Next

⎯ "Just because you're a part of the student council doesn't mean you're allowed to get all cozy with Asano."  [Name] was sort of familiar with the student, a member of the fan club dedicated to the chairman's son, Asano Gakushu. 'It's way too early for this.' 

They'd never talked, but that didn't mean she hadn't had this same conversation with other people. It was as if his fan club had a precedent of hating [Name] before admitting members.

"I really don't know what you're talking about, but I can assure you there's nothing going on between-" The girl kept walking, harshly brushing her shoulder on [Name] in the process. She could barely get a word in.

It really wasn't like that. There was no reason for anyone to believe so, sure, she wasn't exactly out in the open about it but she was in a relationship. She isn't the type to mess with other guys behind Karma's back. She guessed it was the result of being the only girl on the council. They overanalyzed her every little step.

"If you want to be in the same class so badly just start failing until they throw you down with me."  Those were Karma's words from a few days ago, and [Name] was starting to consider them.

She couldn't decide if it was worth it or not. She was on top of her academics and as annoying as they were, spending so much time around the council meant the members grew on her.

'I need  something to drink...'

Out where the vending machines were she saw a familiar face, his blue hair tied up in pigtails. It had been so long since [Name] talked to Nagisa. As she was about to say hi, she noticed the green-haired girl who had been with him at the café. Her name was Kayano if she remembered correctly.

She didn't want to be rude and interrupt, that was the excuse she was going with. In full honesty, she was curious as to what Nagisa was doing with a girl, listening in for a bit wouldn't hurt.

"Explosives, guns, knives. I'm starting to doubt it's even possible to kill him." They were hovered over a notebook as if they were trying to solve a thousand-piece puzzle.

Some kind of game? That's what [Name] was wondering.

"but your notes are great, it's cool you're so observant Nagisa... what were we here for again?"

"Karma's strawberry milk."

"Yeah... He's a bit addicted don't you think?"

"Not as bad as your pudding thing... uh, hold on."

With instincts like Nagisas, he picked up on an uncounted-for presence. He shot Kayano a look, instructing her to quiet down with his eyes.

"[Name?]"

"Hey Nagisa! Sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop but you were busy."

"It's okay, How have you been?" He smiled warmly, internally he was praying you didn't hear anything strange.

"I'm good! I've missed you a lot, we haven't talked in forever!"

"We should hang out one of these days! Oh, I should introduce you, Kayano this is [Name], [Name] Kayano." He gestures between the both girls.

"Nice to meet you." Kayano shakes her hand.

"Why are there two types of strawberry milk here? Kayano, do you remember which one he gets?" asks Nagisa.

"No, just take a guess."

[Name] types on the vending machine's number pad. "He likes both but prefers this one, They taste the same to me though." She shrugs and almost hands the milk box to Nagisa, but she pulls back out of his reach at the last second.

"Can I go with you? I'll drop you off at your class!"

Nagisa smiles "That would be fun but you have your own class to get to."

"It's fine! I usually worried about skipping but only for a little won't hurt."

Nagisa is hesitant when he says "You'll face harsher consequences since you're in council." He didn't want her to feel rejected but if they walked together there was a pretty good chance she'd catch sight of Korosensei.

"The opposite actually, I get away with way more by being in council. It works out! Let's go I wanna see Karma."

Kayano yanks the milk from [Names] grasp. It's very abrupt and leaves an uncomfortable feeling in everyone. [Name] feels embarrassed, she's internally hoping they can't see it on her face. The feel becomes uncomfortable for a second, Kayano looks down not meeting [Names] eyes.

In an attempt to fix things [Name] apologizes, "Sorry, I get the hint, see you Nagisa." She smiles trying not to let things get more uncomfortable for anyone. They probably want to be alone.

"It's not like that! We'd like you to come but we'd get in a lot of trouble if anyone saw you with us, over the weekend we should meet up."

"Alright, we can do that." They wave goodbye to each other.

⊹₊ ⋆ Time skip ୨୧ ⊹₊ ⋆

"If you want to be in the same class so badly just start failing until they throw you down with me."

[Name] and Karma were lying on his bedroom's wooden floor, staring up at the ceiling as they talked about whatever topic bubbled up on their minds.

"Hey Karma, do you really think I should drop down to E class?"

He looks at her curiously "What's got you thinking of that?"

"I was thinking of what you said the other day, maybe that is the only way we can be together."

"You don't have to sacrifice your grades for a few more hours with me, clinger."

"I wasn't gonna, it would take too long to get me to fail everything! Remind me why they decided to put you in that class again?"

"I broke a guy's arm." He says with not a second thought.

[Name] sighs "I can't do that..."

"I could do it for you, and you can take allll the credit. I got ways to make 'em play along!" If it were anyone else talking about this with so much excitement [Name] would question their mental state, but it's Karma.

"That's not what I meant... but thanks for having my back!"

Karma is not sure about this, He knows [Names] fears and she's got lots of them. Spiders, thunder, heights, and much more, He questions if her heart could handle seeing a three-meter-tall octopus who might be the reason the world ends. Ultimately Karma decides to indulge in it, it would be nice having her around, on top of that she'd get along with his friends and definitely like the teachers more.

He thinks back to all the other stuff he pulled, none of which worked out but trying again wouldn't hurt, at least not him.

"You can try pulling pranks but it wasn't that effective for me."

"Help me think of something?"

"I wouldn't let you do it without me."

For now there was nothing to worry about. No one to distract them from one another, just the two of them.

note: sorry for still taking so long on request :,( I’m trying to balance the post of request and On Purpose, Ive also been reallll busy. Does anyone actuallyyyyy read this fic?? the updates are kinda just setting everything up rn, more Karma soon!

I JUST REALIZED SOMETHING

(this is a rant of mine that CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR ASRA'S ROUTE IN THE ARCANA, so read at your own risk)

So, Asra right? My first love interest in the game, the person that basically built my ideal type,.. him.

It is common knowledge in this fandom that his love for the MC is completely unending end unconditional, right?

Well, I might disagree.

This idea came to my mind a few days ago, and from then on I spent my days contemplating life in despair and depression at my realization.

Asra's love IS FUCKED UP and I think it is more of an addiction to the MC rather than pure, unconditional love.

Let me elaborate: first he loses his parents, then he finds Muriel but he still lives in fear of losing him every time he had to fight in the Arena, then he had you, who for about 6 years had stayed by his side, with no signs of leaving anytime soon.

He wanted you all to himself, the only thing that remained stable in his life. That is, until the plague. That's the time where the selfishness of the purpose of his actions really comes to light: he wants everything and everyone to be just as he wants.

I mean, let's face it, no matter how much he might have pleaded and begged you to come with him and leave the city, he still left you there, alone, risking your life,... just so that he could be safe. Screw where you were, he was sure that at the end of it all, you would've still been there, waiting for him.

Because out of all the people in his life, you were the only one that never left

But it all changes when Julian's letter reaches him, and he comes back to Vesuvia. And you're gone.

I really think that his grief was mostly due to the loss of something stable in his life, rather than the lost of the love of his life.

After all, it didn't take long for him to start a relationship with Julian, and I don't care if some might say that it's some sort of coping mechanism, if Asra was able to do it all while still working to get you back, hitting it with Julian knowing that he was gonna have you back soon... that's just fucked up.

Also, his protective tendencies when MC comes back are rather possessive in my opinion: he keeps you like a trophy inside the shop, while he keeps wandering around the world, fulfilling his own selfish desire to visit as much as he can, while still keeping you in your cozy place, inside the castle.

That is also the whole point of the Reversed Ending of his route, that he could consider his own happy ending: he has you, all to himself, forever.

I think that the best side of Asra comes out when you play the other routes, because he has to come to term with his own issues and with the fact that at this point he cannot keep you to himself anymore. And with time he'll come to realize that what he feels for you is more of a spiritual connection, probably thanks to your own aura and magic, rather than a real romantic connection.

That's it, thanks for coming to my ted talk babes

✨get to know your moots!✨

thank you thank you thank you to @sp00kymulderr and @perotovar for the tags!

What's the origin of your blog title? from the song boogeyman by dead posey, it reflects my deep seated desire to be hunted like a prey animal by one of pedro's many competent characters and finally give my overactive anxiety a real fucking reason to panic.

OTP(s) + Shipname: Been a hot minute since I shipped anything other than me and whatever pedro's flavor of the week is, but looking at my ao3 tim rockford and shane morrisey (@perotovar what's their ship name), aloy/avad (horizon series), and father john pruitt and this pu$$y.

Favourite colour: tbd but dark green or purple

Favourite game: all time? horizon zero dawn. currently? fields of mistria - yall the brainrot is so real and deep and i need to spend every waking hour harvesting my crops or repairing bridges or giving every goddamn shiny stone to Balor in hopes that he'll fuck me in his wagon

Song stuck in your head: Stayed Gone from the Hazbin Hotel soundtrack (for all of you who thought i was mysterious i hope you appreciate me showing my whole ass for this)

Weirdest habit/trait? I need a fucking chapstick on my lips and lotion on my hands or i will explode. my husband legitimately has a stash of chapstick and lotion in his car and in the house in case of emergencies.

Hobbies: thinking about writing, videogames, watching youtube essays and getting fed up with it and going back to nebula like an abused housewife

If you work, what's your profession? project coordinator, but i'm going back to school to get my license as an LCP so i can counsel people with addictions and their families.

If you could have any job you wish, what would it be? "I don't particularly dream of having a job, I dream of not having to work." <- real talk from @sp00kymulderr so i'm just gonna leave that.

Something you're good at: escapism

Something you're bad at: getting work done when i'm anxious

Something you love: the picture my husband gave me of our wedding for my desk at work, HotWorx, Dieter Bravo, and that little heart-shaped patch in Pedro's beard.

Something you could talk about for hours off the cuff: how late-stage capitalism effectively ruined fandom, in conjunction with the pandemic allowing the normies to find fandom spaces.

If you could travel in time who would you like to meet? this might sound signal-virtue-y but Rosa Parks. What she and the rest of the NAACP did for community-building and protests is something that has been lost in time. we lost our unions and our local chapters of these social organizations and now we are more lonely than ever AND we are fucking powerless to fight back against an increasingly fascist government. (i think the isolation epidemic in this era is one topic i could yell about forever about too)

Coral Island Farmer Questionnaire: Xena

Found this template from @coral-nerd and decided I could definitely use a moment to infodump about my girl Xena! ^^ Anyone else have this weird tendency to give their cozy game OC's backstories that...Really don't fit the genre? No? Just me? Oops.

How Does Your Farmer Feel About...

Farming In all honesty, farming might be the thing Xena finds most draining about being the newest addition to Coral Island. She didn't expect growing plants to come with so much...Expectation. A rather naive perspective, admittedly; but one that blindsided her nonetheless. And after she was caught off guard in her first year by the sheer competitiveness of the Harvest Festival, it took no time at all for imposter syndrome to start to set in. And it's endlessly frustrating for her! She spent so many of her early years on this farm that she's working now. Surely she should have picked up some kind of rough skillset, right? But for the first year or so farming is the one task that Xena seeks to get over with as quickly as possible each day, and she finds it hard to take pride in something she feels she is always lacking at. But as more people start to acknowledge her hard work, she learns to hold her head up a little higher year after year.

Mining Never expected herself to care for it much, but Scott's endless quest to restore the museum's collection is a cause Xena readily takes up herself. Thus, she finds herself blazing a mighty trail through the mines impressively fast. And with Scott's tendency to stay closer to the surface, his gratitude when Xena chooses to share her hard won bounty with him becomes rather addictive for her. Also, gold bars are worth a fortune? Seriously, why is she still bothering with crops?

Foraging Foraging is great! Especially when it's after dark and the other islanders are either asleep or cramming themselves into the tavern, leaving the trails outside town mostly devoid of anyone except for her. The islanders she does run into after dusk are usually the ones she clicks with better anyway, and the island is bountiful enough that even the most lightweight haul makes her feel like she's accomplishing something.

Catching Brings her right back to her years as a child on the island catching whatever critters she could get her hands on. It's nostalgic, and reminds her of the years before her own questionable decisions led her far from the only place she ever really was able to call home. But to outsiders looking in, she simply seems to find it fun. And as long as the museum's insect collection grows steadily, no one really minds that she seems particularly taken by this hobby.

Fishing Not as active as catching bugs and ocean critters, and she's a little too impatient for it most days. But it's slightly more engaging than watering crops. So when she's truly bored out of her skull with no time to really get wrapped up in anything else, she'll throw out a few casts. Becomes quite a bit more intrigued by it when she reels in her first big catch; a barracuda.

Ranching For someone so hyper aware of the way she acts in every social interaction, ranch animals are an unexpectedly pleasant escape. They don't expect a performance; they just want food and maybe a bit of affection. Both of which she is happy to provide in exchange for a place to vent out those frustrations she can't bring herself to talk about with anyone else.

Combat After residing in the city for so long with a job that had the possibility of landing her in the literal laps of some morally dubious people, holding her own in a scrap is something Xena isn't a stranger to. It feels a little more refined on Coral Island though, especially after she's made a member of the Band of Smiles. Learning to wield a real weapon instead of her keys threaded through her knuckles or a can of pepper spray has a positive effect on her psyche; especially when she's using her newfound skills to slay monsters, as opposed to warding off sleazy strangers seeking to overstep her boundaries.

Diving It feels like an obligation, but not one Xena is necessarily burdened by. When Xena returns to Coral Island after so many years away, she returns with lessons learned and quite a few knocks taken. The island itself looks like it can relate, and the sorry state of it is the first thing that starts chipping away at the walls of apathy Xena has put up over the past few years in order to get through every single day. It isn't farfetched to say that some part of her hopes throwing herself into healing the island might help her start to piece herself back together in the process.

Interacting With The Islanders It's stressful, for a good long while. There's so many familiar faces, and to Xena most all of them haven't changed a day. But she most definitely has, and not in a way she feels she can talk with all these quaint islanders about. So she makes up stories about college and a dead end finance position at Pufferfish that sucked the life and soul out of her, remembering just enough lingo from her former clients to keep her ruse convincing. It gets easier down the line when she finally finds her place in the community again, and the one person she finds it easiest to talk to learns everything there is to know about her. (And he still wakes up next to her the next day and asks if they can make falafel.)

Other...

What is their favorite building material? Stone. Sturdy. Gives her peace of mind that at least her structures will stand up to the test of time, and she can free her mind to worry about every single other responsibility she has instead.

What is their decor style? The most unholy hybrid of beach and disco you've ever seen.

Who's their love interest? Scott. There's a simplicity about him that Xena very quickly finds herself clinging to; even when she's still making herself walk on eggshells around the other islanders. She's not intimidated by him like she is most others, and his enthusiasm for his field is both infectious and a welcome distraction from her own thoughts and insecurities that she wrestles with daily.

What's their favorite thing to grow? Cranberries. As previously mentioned, it takes her much longer to actually enjoy farming. But she loves cranberry juice. And to be able to juice her own berries that she grew from seed does give her a small sense of pride, even in the early years.

What's their favorite animal? Outside of her and Scott's canine sons from their childless newlywed millennial dreams era? Probably quail. Their absurdly small eggs amuse her greatly when she sees them for the first time, and there is something so distinctly harmless and fragile about those itty bitty birds that makes Xena sort of obsess over them.

Bonus! What Do You Associate With Your Farmer In These Categories...

Color Burgundy. Her favorite color to wear when work still consisted of catching clients in high end lounges.

Season Winter. A little icy, like her. Little to no crops to worry about, and with everyone else mostly staying indoors she feels like isn't missing out on too much of Starlet Town's bustling social scene if she chooses to spend all day in the mines or the ocean instead. Though everyone seemed to notice her missing from the Winter Fair that first year when she was working her tail off to afford her wedding dress. Won't make that mistake twice...

Metal Silver. Makes for sturdy tools that can get her through most anything. I mean, isn't gold rather soft? Who's bright idea was it to make a solid gold pick axe anyway...

voices headcanons!!

Been thinking this for a while now, and thought it would be cool, so now here we are! =D

Lil' note; I personally like to headcanon them all as stickfigures who have no voice, but silly lil' images and/or body languages to convey what exactly they are saying without having to speak, but I also like to imagine how it would be like if they had voices! Just a fun lil' thingy that I wanted to make. (*^▽^*)

aand because, in case i ever do another ava/avm fic which includes dialogue, I need some references from my own headcanons so I wouldn't forget. xD

I like to imagine that if […] had a voice, it would be like…

彡- ,, The Second Coming | Orange (he/she/they/z/yawn)

* ˚ Finn from Adventure Time voicelike ; Calm voice. Relaxing; Perhaps comforting? A little thinner.

✦ Orange prefers simpler, more basic things; Cozy, basically. So I feel like that their way of speaking would be neither so fast nor so slow; Fast enough to be firm and confident, and slow enough so people (sticks) don't get lost in the middle of its speech.

~ I feel like z would also use more basic, simpler-to-understand words, no matter how not-appropriate-for-simple-words the situation is. (lol)

彡- ,, yellowstickfigure | Yellow (he/it/zhe/neb)

* ˚ Varian from Tangled voicelike ; Calm, steady, confident voice, although with a lil' bit of a frantic, crazy tone when hyperfocused on his thoughts.

✦ Yellow is one of the smartest in the group, always thinking before acting; I like to think zhe would use more complicated and difficult words to express nebs thoughts, perhaps making some references to games here and there. ~ Fae also strikes me as the type of person(stick) who would be a fast-talkative when expressing nes thoughts out loud, but who would slow down his speech whenever talking to someone.

彡- ,, redstickfigure | Red (she/he/they/ne/xae)

* ˚ Enthusiastic, thin and curious voice; A bit like a ChildLike voice. Although she can make his voice a little more comforting and soothing when talking to small/sensitive animals. (Or when comforting their friends!) ~ I also like to think that purr voice is softer than it seems, nis just quite lively and curious, so much so that xaer voice conveys her emotions very well.

✦ Red is lively and curious, loving and affectionate and a little aggressive; Fast-talkative. She often expresses his thoughts in a curious way and as if he is rambling. Their friends can understand him perfectly because they are used to her speech mode, although other sticks have a little more difficulty understanding xaer.

彡- ,, bluestickfigure | Blue (he/she/they/it/one/bloom)

* ˚ Fluttershy (mad/confident) from My Little Pony voicelike ; Firm voice, yet soft and comforting. Although with a slight hint of dizziness due to his drug netherwart addiction and the fact that they sometimes consumes inedible things, which makes her voice sounds a lil' bit drunk.

✦ Blue is primarily a pacifist, more likely a peacemaker; Ones way of speaking would be neither so fast nor so slow, although it leans more towards slow in a way.

~ The types of words bloom would use would be basic, like Orange, although bloom sometimes uses more complicated words too, like Yellow.

lil' note; Since, out of everyone from the ColorGang who used images (or text) to convey their voices without actually speaking at some point, Blue is the only one in the group who haven't 'said' anything yet, so my headcanon about its voice + his way of speech may change in the future! teehee

彡- ,, greenstickfigure | Green (he/xhe/they/one)

* ˚ His voice is probably the softest of the group, although pretty firm and confident. Their calm and comforting and so, so soft voice is like music to the ears. Xhe very often that not hums.

✦ Green is a perfectionist and likes extravagant things; One way of speaking is similar to Rarity from My Little Pony.

~ Xhe always greets his friends in an affectionate way (darling, love(platonic), dear, bro, dude), although instantly as if note was on autopilot.

~ Faer way of speaking is fast, although not so fast to the point that people(sticks) cannot understand him; They can vary between speaking complicated, simple, basic or beautiful words.

teehee- And that's the end!

I will probably make a second part, since I also have other voices headcanons for the other characters, so...

Next Part!

Welp! I think that's it..? xD

Cya ~ !

also- a lil' random thing;

haha 69 funni number

(thank u btw!! &lt;33)

lil' edit: edited!! ^^'

🌾Really Cute & Girly Apps I Love .*~🦋

These are just a bunch of apps that I have installed on my phone that I will never ever delete in times where I need to make space for something, lol. 10/10 I recommend 🫶🏻💘

1.) My Diary

This app is very cutesie imo and I store all my secrets in here 🤭. There are just some things too sensitive to keep in a real physical diary....

2.) One Second Diary

Yet another diary app, but this one is different. You take a 1-second video everyday (you can just put pictures, too) and you can add a little summary of your day. The app logs your videos and makes it into one big one! You can have one for every year, but for the sake of my storage space I like to do one per month and keep it in a google drive folder.

3.) Olivia the Witch's Magic Shop

THIS GAME IS SO CUTE. If you are someone who likes witchcraft, you will freaking love this app. You grow and harvest plants in your little garden and then you make potions and magic pies for random little characters and they give you money! I personally wouldn't consider it addicting, but it's a pretty cozy game.

4.) This Creepy Doll Game

I like to play this game in front of people

It's actually a pretty interesting game and I like the sound the candles make when you collect them. There aren't really any crazy jumpscares, but the atmosphere is really terrifying. I finished this game like 4 months ago and I'll probably restart it just because.

5.) PictureThis

It's a pretty accurate plant identifier app. I don't spend money on it to unlock all the features, but it gets the job done. I think everyone should have a plant identifier app on their phone because you really learn a lot. If you wanna go the extra mile, install apps for identifying bugs, rocks, mushrooms, etc. as well. It's good to know stuff about the planet you live on.

6.) DazzlyMatch

This game is SO. PRETTY. ITS. SO. PRETTY.

If you're someone like me who loves shiny stuff so much that you just want to eat it all, then download this damn app dude because it's just one of those mobile sorting games except with really realistic, shiny, sparkly and colorful gemstones. Pirates & princesses would love this game ONG 🙏🏻‼️

7.) Tubi

It's just a bunch of completely 100% free movies. It has a lot of those. I've watched Leap!, the Last Unicorn, Labyrinth, Jem & the Holograms (show), Angelina Ballerina, and a bunch of other stuff. If you're sad and miss your childhood shows, chances are that Tubi has them.

8.) PlutoTV

There's also PlutoTV which has movies (I think) & shows (primarily shows). I like to watch that one 80s Dynasty TV show on PlutoTV as well as Charmed.

Thursday, November 7th, 2024.

What's one simple pleasure(s) that you greatly enjoy? Waking up to a snow-covered landscape. Cuddling with my cats while cozy in bed. Eating a warm and delicious breakfast. What a nice morning. <3

What are you listening to? The furnace running and the sound of my typing.

Are you in a relationship? I'm not.

What is your opinion on abortion? I'm pro-choice.

Why do you think so many people get depressed these days? There are probably a lot of factors. There certainly were in my own life. Thankfully, I'm doing so much better now and would no longer consider myself depressed.

Last movie you saw in theaters: Wild Robot.

Your heart is beating faster than usual, whom are you standing next to? It would most likely beat that way due to anxiety, so maybe Alex, my sibling, or certain people from my past.

What was going through your mind during your last kiss? I no longer recall.

Why did your last relationship fail? I was deeply mentally ill and harbored a lot of unresolved trauma. I also just don't think we were as compatible as we wished we were.

Do you feel like screaming? Naw.

How are you in general? Pretty good. Looking forward to a relaxing day of housecleaning and baking.

Do you think the world would be a better place without humans? It would be less polluted and there wouldn't be any human-caused suffering, but nature - for all its beauty and abundance - is still an incredibly indifferent, destructive, and oftentimes grotesque force. Eliminating humanity from the equation wouldn't suddenly transform the Earth into a Garden of Eden.

Last dream you had: The first fragment involved the animal shelter. I don't remember much aside from tasks taking an incredibly long time and feeling like I was fumbling around without making much progress. The second dream mainly took place in something of a hospital setting. Reminded me of my eating disorder inpatient days. I was showing Nick (ex-partner) around to the various gaming/activity rooms. There was also a bit of initial estrangement and rekindled romance involved, but nothing too over the top. Mostly limited to hugging, so relatively PG.

What's your favorite drink? Water, coffee, and hot chocolate.

What's love to you? A deep feeling of trust, respect, understanding, etc. Which are also words that are difficult to define, lmao.

How is the weather today? Cloudy, snowy, and 30*F.

Are you in love? I'm not.

What was your favorite cartoon during childhood? I didn't have an absolute favorite, but I watched shows like Doug, Rugrats, Hey Arnold, Spongebob, Dragon Ball Z, Yu-Gi-Oh, etc.

Who is your best friend and why? Oliver.

What is your greatest fear? Losing my dad.

What is on your mind right now? Mostly animal shelter stuff and how to stay safely separate from some possible drama. I don't want a repeat of last time, so I'm going to have to set boundaries even if it upsets some people (or one person in particular - everyone else should be chill about it).

Do you have any addictions? Smoking.

Have you ever done drugs, if so, what? Yeah.

Do you enjoy watching Family Guy? I did when I was younger, but I doubt I would enjoy it now. It's just not my cup of tea.

What is it that you really want right now? No more migraines. It's the biggest missing puzzle piece in my life right now. Without them, I would have almost no reservations about applying to the animal shelter.

Are you deep? Well, I'm not shallow…but there are far deeper thinkers than me out there.

What is your opinion of God? Is he real? I choose to believe in God. But is God real, and what is God, actually? I have no idea.

Do you and your best friend have funny nicknames for one another? Not really.

Are you a parent? I'm not.

Who would you like to be for a day? Maybe a climber summiting Mount Everest. I am aware of all the issues and controversies surrounding it, but since we're talking impossible hypotheticals here…yeah.

Is there a member of the opposite sex that you can tell anything to? I can tell pretty much anything to my therapist.

What are some bands that you've seen live?

Who is your favorite person? My dad.

What is your favorite season? Autumn. The early days when the leaves are just beginning to change and there's only a whisper of a chill in the air. The middle days when the leaves are in full transformation and the nights are longer and cozier. And the later days when the trees are mostly barren, the cold and frost are constant companions, and the snow begins to fly.

If you would get the chance to relive your past, would you do differently? Like my whole life or just specific parts of it? Would I magically know then what I know now? It's just weird to imagine being a baby and possessing all of my current knowledge and experience…

How? There are all kinds of things I would do differently…or might never experience at all. I don't know how dramatic the "butterfly effect" would be, but at some point I would inevitably break with my original trajectory and wind up in unknown territory. Honestly, though, I would prefer to work with the life I have.

Do you know who Kurt Cobain is? Yeah.

What about Ben Moody? Yeah.

How is life for you? I would say it's mostly good. It has its challenging and painful aspects, but they're tolerable.

State something about yourself that no one knows? Hmm.

Do you have any pets? What are their names? I have three kitties named Esther, Karenna, and Lacy.

Last joke you heard, did you find it funny? Slightly.

What is your favorite recent memory? Hiking along the Carhart trail with my dad. Such a quintessential cloudy autumn day brimming with nostalgia.

Do you like to cuddle? Yesss.

What is the most important thing to you in life? My loved ones, my cats, volunteering, growing/healing, learning how to create and protect a sense of peace.

What is your favorite movie?

What's a song(s) you can relate to?

Have you heard of Postsecret? Yeah.

Whom do you look up to? My dad, staff at the animal shelter, my therapist, etc.

Where and with whom did your last hug take place? I think it was at Chili's. My mom and I hugged after we went out to eat.

Do you want children someday? No.

What would you name them?

If you could represent a sin, what would it be? Sloth or envy.

Do you enjoy horror movies? Yeah.

Do you believe in ghosts? I'm not sure. Even though I'm fascinated by the paranormal, I sure am something of a skeptic.

Would you ever go bungee jumping? Maybe if the opportunity presented itself, but it's not something I would seek out.

If you had 13 million dollars, what would you do with it? Probably just save it and use it as necessary. I can't see myself changing my lifestyle very much.

Are you waiting for someone to message or text you? I just checked my text messages and saw one from Iris (manager). She asked if I was coming in today/couldn't remember my usual days. I told her my schedule and said I would be happy to come in if needed, so now I'm just waiting for a text back.

Do you tend to hide your true self? Yeah.

Do you have a lot of friends? Just one best friend.

What's the last time you laughed really hard? A few weeks ago.

Are you looking forward to anything? Yes.

for the otp-ask: 2, 3, 17 and 19 for mcdanno 😇

(sorry it took me so long, bb, i have no excuse)

2. gets mad at the TV and throws the remote.

i mean, this one is danny 'i don't have anger issues' williams, who totally has anger issues, lol. most likely while watching sports (i don't know anything about sports so i can't elaborate there).

but i also can imagine steve watching all the cheesy old sci-fi movies that danny seems to love and criticising the science (the writers may have forgotten steve the science guy but I haven't and I never will) until he sees something so stupid it gets him angry enough to throw the remote, lol.

tho still a more likely scenario is danny gets so fed up with steve's commentary/criticism/exclamations 'that's so unrealistic/that's wrong/there's no sound in space' that he ends up throwing the remote and storming off saying how he'll never watch movies with steve the ruiner of fun™ ever again.

3. gets the worst road rage.

i genuinely can't pick between the two of them here, steve is a crazy impatient driver who according to danny drives like a maniac and danny is from new jersey.

although, i imagine, danny has a rule of not screaming at people when he has his little girl in the car and steve also drives carefully when he has their kids or his niece in the car, but when it's just the two of them or they are alone all bets are off.

if someone cut danny off or otherwise put him in a dangerous situation when he has grace, i definitely see him getting out of the car saying 'it's all right, monkey, i'll be back' and then putting the fear of g-d into the asshole that endangered his little girl. don't forget about steve tracking down the asshole that ran grace off the road and laying into him also.

neither of them have much scruples about using their badges to intimidate people who wronged them on the road for sure. as usual, tho, depending on who is more pissed off in a given situation the other serves as the reasonable one to pull them back from the edge.

17. takes the safety steps when building a pillow fort.

steve goes absolutely overboard, not just with safety, he actually has blueprints and calculated the optimal ratio of pillows Vs blankets and the amount of chairs/load bearing furniture necessary, and in general scale.

so he turns his entire living room in a massive pillow fortress. danny thought it was too much but even he had to admit it was cozy and comfortable when he and steve find some privacy in there after the kids are asleep.

19. Is addicted to angry birds, game of war, candy crush, temple run, or flappy bird.

after they start making phones with screens big enough for his goofy thumbs, danny totally gets hooked on playing match-3 games and word puzzles. at first he just checked out the games his little girl was spending time on and he had to make sure they were above board but then he got totally addicted but tried to hide it from steve because he assumed he would make fun of him for it.

steve never had much respect for idle games and he hadn't really played video games since ms pacman was the height of technology because he always preferred physical activity to pass the time, and he scoffed at e-sports. (canonically he didn't even know what angry bird type game was and danny had to explain it to him)

but one time danny catches him playing god of war/heroes of war and magic (idk pick any PvP strategy war game) and goes 'ah-ah' while steve tries to save face by saying 'it's totally to sharpen my strategizing skills, plus, i have to get back at this teenybopper from latvia who raided my castle while i was asleep, danny' but danny will never let him live it down.

'mr navy seal got pwned by a tween, haha'. '

i'll show you pwn!'

'whatever you say, m'lord'.

Thoughts on 2024 Favorites

Getting around to this finally! Been so busy for the past month.

TV Shows (Live) My two favorites from 2024 were associated with Neil Gaiman, and I'm just not in the mood to talk about his work right now, for obvious reasons. Currently catching up with s3 of From.

Animation (TV & Films) 1. Murder Drones: Thank you for this series Liam Vickers and Glitch. It really felt like a gift to my teenage-self. Loved every second of it. 2. Arcane: Listen, I enjoyed the hell out of s1, and the show's an absolute triumph in terms of the animation. That being said, I can't believe how much I ended up liking and being obsessed with s2. I have no excuse. It's certainly not the most well-written season and yet. Two months later and "only you can show me this" is still rattling around in my head on an endless loop. Thanks for the shipping brainrot show. I never asked for this. 3. Hazbin Hotel: Was not expecting to like this as much as I did! While I'm not really on the hype train for this one, it was a solid and fun first season. Was definitely attached to the ost for a few months too. 4. Scavengers Reign: Oooh I'm so sad we're not getting more of this show. What a terrifying masterpiece. Would kill to have this on bluray and get a few more seasons out of it. 5. Smiling Friends s2: Have not enjoyed an Adult Swim show this much is years. Love how creative and wacky the show was allowed to be due to the (presumably) higher budget. Glad that it's well-liked too, because I definitely would love to see another season. Anime (TV & Films) 1. Dandadan: Honestly? Easily one of my favorite shows and manga series in the last decade. Haven't torn through a manga series like that in years, but it's just that good. Absolute peak central romance to boot. 2. Delicious in Dungeon s1: This show has an indescribable vibe to it imo. Extremely unique. Almost has a cozy-feel at the beginning, even though you can see the impending plot, lore and danger coming for the main cast. Can't wait for the next season. 3. Frieren: Beyond Journey's End: Cannot believe the first episode of this show made me cry. Who does that?? ? Probably one of the most interesting character studies in terms of how the show presents grief I've ever seen actually. Also, it's gorgeous. Slept on this one for way too long! 4. Pokemon Concierge: I'm just happy something this sweet and chill exists tbh. 5. Look Back: This definitely made me feel a certain way. Captured the struggle and headspace of artists incredibly well. Video Games 1. Fields of Mistria: Unpopular opinion I'm sure but, this was more addictive to me than Stardew Valley. 2. Infinity Nikki: Another pretty gacha game that I just don't have the time for lmao. Enjoyed playing it on my tablet regardless. Surprised how well it plays without a controller too. Live Films || Note: Honestly, I watched waaay too many good films last year, so it's hard to narrow it down to a handful. 1. Stopmotion: I just enjoy watching artists descend into evil madness I think. It's cathartic for me. Also: meat puppets. 2. Oddity: I <3 you Damian McCarthy. Please make more spooky movies where terrible people grow a conscious and work towards redemption (even if it's too late). 3. Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga: A very well-done action movie and worthy predecessor to Fury Road. 4. Dave Made a Maze: House of Leaves meets cardboard box sets. Absolutely bonkers movie. 5. Brightwood: Was searching for indie time loop horror films and found this gem. The surprise cannibalism plotline was an added bonus lmao. 6. BeetlejuiceBeetlejuice: Surprisingly good sequel! Glad that it actually did well at the box office too. 7. The Witch: FINALLY got around to watching some Robert Eggers films after all this time. Was not disappointed! Definitely needed to watch this one with subtitles, but I do appreciate Eggers being a stickler for details when it comes to period piece language and tone. Watching this back-to-back with The Lighthouse left me feeling inspired. 8. The Lighthouse: This one was an experience. Incredible at setting up a particularly gloomy, claustrophobic mood for the entire run time. The ending genuinely dumbfounded me I loved it so much. Found myself humming Doodle Let Me Go days afterwards.

Honorable Mentions 1. Longlegs 2. Abigail 3. Milk & Serial 4. Nier Automata anime 5. The Book of Bill 6. Magical Girl Dandelion 7. Wonderful Pretty Cure! 8. Wicked: Jon M. Chu I am in your debt for making sure this adaptation didn't suck.

Things I’m Looking Forward to in 2025 1. Madoka Magica movie when 2. Severance s2 babbyyy 3. New Glitch shows incoming! Looking forward to The Gaslight District and Knights of Guinevere

Some Creative & General Goals for 2025 I have a semi-new tablet, and drawing board heading into 2025. Wish me luck :).

[tormented-velveteen-heart]

Rambling under the cut for funsies + life changes (fun stuff in tags if you wanna skip the nonsense life stuff)

My goal this upcoming year is to really find myself again. Most social media has become noisy, so I've gotten rid of a lot (save for Tumblr and YouTube.) I find getting rid of short form content consumption has really helped all the buzzing noise that once consumed my brain. I have a lot more time now to do things I like instead of doom scrolling, and I don't find Tumblr addictive like other platforms that strictly focous and push short form content....Anyway, I just really wanted to focous on creating a life that I enjoy instead of one filled with horrible dread. I want to go back to the things I loved like playing video games, watching anime, creating, drawing, and really deep diving into my personal style.

I plan on really working to make my living space a cozy one that's filled with things that bring me joy. Getting rid of stuff that feels like a weight-- shitty belief, items, people -- anything that just isn't serving me anymore.

I'm super excited to begin all over again, and I know it won't be easy but dammit I'll be happy one way or another...

"people shouldnt smoke weed because it makes it so you dont feel your feelings, it numbs you"

damn like when i smoked weed every day from 2018-2019 i would be so overcome with my feelings that i would be completely paralyzed, trapped in thought spirals about what kind of being i am, thoughts racing. it was an addictive feeling, sober life could not compare, it unlocked so much creativity, when i watched movies i would be fully immersed etc

when i smoked weed every day from aug 2023-april 2024, i would feel in its entirety my sense that the world is permanent torture, that i was incurable, a living disease that should hide underground, that i was trapped in hell. every day i would have to crawl out of that hole, to come to the sense that i had to continue living anyway. when i got to that point, i ended up in a place where my creativity was unlocked, every part of me that was clenched would be released, i could draw passably well with my left hand, i could draw even better with my right, i could hold full conversations without my usual sober aporia of language and feeling.

why did i stop ? it was just that i would end up doing things that were completely out of bounds of normal, sane life. this free expression of myself, this chemically mediated free self, operated under different laws... i believed strongly in signs, would become extremely emotional (which i believe is my true nature), act without the required amount of self awareness which keeps people in check... i had a totally different belief system, which is probably my own, but one that is alienating (largely that the "image of the self" that we are conscripted to maintain, each one of us, should be abandoned)... i would generally look at my sober living life with horror and fear at how much i keep myself repressed. the turning point was when high me decided to free-tattoo myself, just putting the machine to my skin, i ended up doing my entire thigh, which i had to get fully blacked out. i decided its not sustainable to live like that unless i was in the right environment. maybe i will try to get high again sometime, who knows. i did on my birthday 2 months ago after 4 months sober, but ended up stuck in describing to myself what is wrong with me - thought loops which i have decided are unproductive.

i really miss being able to act spontaneously, that power of free associative rapid thought, i wish i could still get high and watch movies without immediately turning to my own psyche and rooting out my issues. i'm obsessed with my issues. that's been the hardest type of thought pattern to get out of. it's so hard for me to look at my thoughts head-on when i'm sober, when i'm high they are rapid and clear.

now what, adderall and lorazepam are what it takes to get me to just, like, go to the grocery store, and get out of the house? otherwise i spend all day playing my knockoff cozy game on my phone, and now my brain is so acclimated to the adderall, even after i take days weeks months in between doses i don't even find "work enjoyable" anymore i just get really into researching shoes, and masturbating, and writing about myself

i really should get a fucking job but i also love being a neet even if it is my own living hell

Looking for solo games with great economy systems

Looking for solo games with great economy systems Some of my favorites:Sid Meier's Pirates Buy low some place. Sell high elsewhere. Tons of stuff to buy for upgrades. Searching for treasure, looking stuff. But I don't remember being able to buy property or being able to run your own ship which would have made it awesome.Fallout SimSettlements - to show how good this is, I spent more time on this mod than the actual game. Collecting stuff, building homes for people, collecting taxes to get more stuff, etc. and best of all you can wander around your creations. Skyrim Trade Routes, Alt Currency, Shop Stall, etc - Just the challenge of making a living without having to set foot in a dungeon sounds awesome, and all Skyrim mods do a great job of providing alternate ways to interact financially, but it feels janky trying to stitch the all togetherRecettear An Item Shop's Tale - Oh boy this comes so close. Shopping for items and displaying them and haggling becomes addictive, but you only run one shop, and the forced deadlines make it feel less cozy. I was interested in it's sequel Potiononmics but it feels more story based and I was hoping for a place to wander around and explore in.Stardew Valley - as close to perfect as we can get right now I suppose, just due to the various ways to profit and shop. If you could purchase more properties maybe.Peter Molyneux's Promises on Fable. I remember an old article about Peter Molyneux saying stuff like how you could bankrupt an economy by flooding it with money causing hyperinflation and other economy shenanigans. Are the Fable economies as in depth as Peter Molyneux claimed?RCT, Planet Zoo, Open TTD. Etc. these are very addictive but you don't get to interact with places other than your own stuff. OpenTTD gets a plus for influencing other cities. Submitted June 25, 2024 at 06:31AM by Most-Permit-6694 https://ift.tt/BwWCo4k via /r/gaming

7, 19, 28, 45, and 67 for both Sam and Aiden.

yeahhh this is kind of long lmao

7%. What's one flaw about themselves that they hate the most and wish they could change?

despite being a reserved person, sam often can't hide his emotion and will share things in highly emotional moments or cry uncontrollably and he absolutely hates it and feels embarrassed every time. he wishes he at least had more control over how he expresses his emotions

as established aiden's a drug addict and, well, he can be kind of an asshole because of it at times. he does his best not to be but he's hurt his loved ones a few more times than he'd like to

19%. How does your character's living space reflect their personality?

i imagine sam and aiden's apartment is a very cozy, green-brown place with a lot of plants and books and art supplies and board games. it kind of represents the harmony and natural calmness sam has, and aiden's obsession with sam (which has become his entire personality honestly). oh and when aiden's left to his own devices the place becomes a mess so that very much reflects aiden's chaoticness

28%. Are they most likely to fight with their fists or their tongue?

neither of them are very violent people, they are however very passionate about certain things and do get into verbal arguments. so with the exception of that one time aiden punches sam's brother in the face, tongue

45%. What's something that turns this character on?And what's a definite turn-off? (non-sexual)

for aiden? turn-on: sam. turn-off: not sam

no lmao in general aiden doesn't really have any preferences for people. turn-offs would be the obvious ones, like bigots and stuff, but aiden just enjoys getting to know different people and some happen to match his energy better than others

sam's generally more drawn to calm people he's able to have more "important", deeper conversations with, and strays away from people who are very loud and chaotic (think stereotypical extroverts) (which is why he judged aiden pretty harshly when they met until he realised that gasp a person is capable of being outgoing and smart at the same time)

67%. What's the worst injury they've ever gotten?

aiden's closest-to-death near death experiences (he's had more than two near death experiences somehow) was a car accident when he was 19 and a coma in his mid twenties, so it's one of those

i don't think sam's ever been seriously injured. he has a lot of physical problems in general but none of them were injury-induced. he's probably accidentally cut himself on something sharp while making art at some point though so i guess that's his worst injury (aiden, naturally, is more worried about this than he ever was when it came to his own near death experiences)

[ratsalad]

love reading your house md thoughts. is there anything about the show you would change if you could?

the first thought that came to me: i'd change things so that wilson and cuddy weren't constantly trying to change house or tell him what to do re: his addiction when he so clearly wasn't ready to change.

this was a big issue for me throughout the show, because while i understand their frustration as people who love him and who don't want to see him suffer, they failed to see that the constant lecturing pushed house deeper into denial - as it often does to addicts when they're in the precontemplative stage.

what he really needed instead was support (not to be confused with enabling), acceptance and understanding of his choices - real understanding; the awareness that he is where he is right now and they can't change him. this doesn't mean they shouldn't speak up when he makes bad choices. frankly, they were fantastic friends - the only problem was that they didn't realize people don't come out of denial unless they realize it themselves.

but i can also see why wilson (if not cuddy - and only because i don't have as good a read on her as wilson) couldn't be this person for house - wilson's a fixer. he has to feel needed, so he gives people solutions to their problems - even problems they're not willing to admit to having.

house eventually did get out of precontemplative and into contemplative at the end of season 5 when he realized things were too far gone and he needed help - and good for him - but notice how he had to come to that realization himself. it really, really cannot work any other way. i speak from first hand experience.

i'm not sure if i can think of any Big Plot Things to change - the show's writing is far from perfect, but overall i'm satisfied with where they decided to go mostly. there are some things i'd change:

i wish cuddy respected house's disability more in earlier seasons;

i wish he wasn't referred to as an addict in earlier seasons when he was really just a guy in so much pain he developed a dependence (you can see how he might get defensive - and unwilling to recognize later on that he does have an addiction - when people were calling him an addict before he was even an addict);

the majority of season 8 felt like the equivalent of naruto filler episodes

while i do think house never got over the events of the season 7 finale i wish we'd seen him struggling with them at least a little while he was in prison. and i wish we'd seen cuddy at least once in season 8. at his funeral perhaps. feels wrong that she wasn't there

huddy in general. i don't know WHAT i'd change - maybe i wouldn't have teased the ship from, oh i don't know, SEASON 1 - i just know that it could've gone better. i'd have still broke them up, absolutely; but the way it ended (and even began, to an extent) in the show left me dissatisfied

lbr house escaping to some other country after running his car into huddy’s house was sort of ridiculous

house in actual band t-shirts

i'm not a fan of the whole selecting-my-employees-with-a-game-show format of season 4

more house wearing cozy-looking hoodies

my god they really ran out of plots for each episode around seasons 5/6/7. the medical stuff really dipped, too - i rewatched a few episodes from season 1 and the medicine was SO solid, leagues above the later seasons, not to mention other medical dramas: the nun with the copper T, the schizophrenic mom who wasn't schizophrenic at all, those were some of my favorite episodes, and they managed to simultaneously weave in those themes of human nature that's REALLY what this show's trying to get at. towards 5/6/7 i felt like these aspects got really messy.

more house chilling at home

that's kind of all i can think of right now! thanks for sending this in, it was very fun to answer. it's also very kind of you to say that about my house posts, especially because they (especially towards the end of the show) were more cyclic ruminations stemming from Real Actual worry/anxiety for house and some level of projection than true analysis. but thanks nevertheless, it's always gratifying to know that people have been reading them!
