SNEAK PEEK OF UPCOMING FIC UNDER THE CUT

You spent two hours tutoring Steve in the library until it was time for your morning class. For some inexplicable reason, it was like time flew by, and you didn't even realize it was time to leave before you noticed people filtering out of the library.

Steve had progressed tremendously even in the short span of two hours, and you had to give it to Professor Adler – he was right.

Steve wasn't an idiot, far from it actually, but you suspected he had a hard time prioritizing. You got the sense that his main concern was football, and you couldn't fault him for that, knowing that's the case for a lot of the guys at your school.

Steve is reading through a paragraph when you notice the time, making you gently whisper, "I think we need to wrap it up, class is starting soon."

His head lifts in surprise, his face turning towards you, "It is? What time is it?"

You inhale quietly when he turns to face you, those baby blues practically inches from your face as you sit next to him. Steve is beautiful in a different way than the usual jocks around here; he is clean-shaven, his features had an innocence to them while simultaneously being devastatingly manly and handsome.

It was hard to describe it, really, and it made you a bit enamored with him. You'd caught yourself watching him for the past two hours, subtly of course, to ensure he wouldn't notice. You'd had to hide your smile when you noticed the dent in his nose, disrupting the straight line of it, undoubtedly from a football injury.

You'd also caught yourself staring at his long lashes, fluttering and touching his cheek whenever he blinked. They were thick, too, such wasted potential on a guy who would never understand what a blessing they are.

You noticed the small beauty marks on his skin; littered across his face, down his neck, branding him in a delicate way. Part of you wanted to trace them, run your fingers over his skin to feel whether it would be as soft as it looked.

Even his blonde hair, unkempt and mussed up as it was, made you yearn to run your fingers through it. His expressive eyebrows, his high cheekbones, his sharp jawline; staring at Steve was undoubtedly more interesting than studying – he was like a work of art, so effortlessly gorgeous, you weren't even sure he realized.

Of course he does. A guy like that knows how hot he is. You can tell by the way his large biceps are visible even through the lumpy fabric of his hoodie, his thick thighs not well hidden by his sweats. He was built, tall, muscular; a handsome football player, of course he realizes how gorgeous he is.

You offer him a small smile, glancing toward the clock on your laptop, "It's 9.10. We have class at 9.30. And I need to get something to eat before, I think, or I don't know if I'll make it through."

Steve lets out a chuckle at your words, and the melodic sound warms your veins in a comforting way. He's got a great laugh, of course he would, that beautiful bastard.

"You have a point, getting through Professor Adler's class on an empty stomach is near impossible."

You nod, mirroring his chuckle, "Yeah, exactly. But we made great progress today, you'll be just fine for the test, Steve. You're all good." You smile as you get up from your seat to gather your things, and Steve watches you for a moment before he blurts out, "Oh, uh, I don't know, I think I need a little more tutoring, just-"

You shake your head as you chuckle, "No, really Steve, I think you'll be alright for the test. You know this stuff, you just need to be confident about it."

Steve frowns as he watches you pack your books in your bag, glancing down at the textbook in front of him. He hadn't even realized that two hours had passed, it was like being in a different world this entire time.

He's noticed you before, more times than he can count. Not just because you were the smartest girl in class, and constantly had your hand up, but also because you were strikingly beautiful, in an understated way that made him curious to know more about you.

He wasn't sure if you even realized how pretty you were, he had a suspicion you didn't, or that, even if you did, you simply didn't care.

And that was fascinating to Steve. It had been from the very moment he first saw you in freshman year.

Mike Flanagan mentioned how much he’s enjoying watching Interview with the Vampire in a recent tumblr post about his favourite horror shows…

Can you imagine how well The Shining fan Sam Reid would fit into the Flanagan universe? Especially if it’s a haunted house or Stephen King adaptation.

It hurts men to outgrow their swaddling-cloth. It aches to shed old hides. When it runs at the seams, it aches. If you are too weak to bear it, you die.

And I can hardly think at all.

Can you just be there for me?

When I need you.

Because I need you.

Valentine, you brought me home, I’m in love.

Valentine, you brought me home, I’m in love.

It’s true.

I knew.

With you.

I think it’s also really interesting that SMT V pushes you towards the miracles without actually having aogami say something like “maybe we should change our affinities young man.” Like you start weak to force & dark - Hydra has Dark, the Andras you have to kill for the main quest have force, Followed by Nuwa with Force, & there’s the optional boss of Pazuzu who has both + Leanan Sidhe with dark, and if you still haven’t changed your affinities by the time you leave Da’at for the first time it throws Lahmu at you who only uses Dark skills. It also encourages not just picking like, the Daemon essence for hydra and sticking with that because the optional Shiki-Ouji has hama AND mudo, nuwa has mazio, and a lot of the second area enemies use electric skills.

It’s similar to the number of skills that boost power on crit, and there just happens to be a magatsuhi skill that guarantees crit. So like, of course you’re going to use the magatsuhi skills

It’s good game design.

Youtube feed: Video: The total character assassination of Solas. Me screaming something about 'critical reading': I swear to some form of Lego-Christ that people to learn what spirits (and 'demons' — though he isn't one except almost, at one point) are in DA and how they function, before I lose my mind, and head (surely people would come at me eventually) respectively. I need people to recognize that though the concept of Wisdom, and its perversion into and towards Pride, may be intricate, but its roots aren't a difficult one to grasp. But you need to want to understand it, but if you don't— then please don't talk about things you obviously don't care about, or want to understand. That's okay, I also don't care about everything, but I won't voice opinions about things I know nothing about.

God, this isn't even a defense-squad type of thing, I just need critical reading and thought to come back, I need schools (and people) to stop hating it for whatever baffling reason. /strolls off to semi-rage in the tags

cory’s “me and america aren’t as close” plan has always had a very obvious flaw that i genuinely don’t know how he didn’t see before enacting it. cory is saying they’re not a duo BUT he has control over her and that’s why they should keep her. america is saying to these SAME people that she would cut cory, doesn’t listen to him like people think. this simultaneously makes america look cutthroat and like a snake and cory like he doesn’t have the control he claims to have. they needed to either play it up like they aren’t as close gamewise OR make it seem like america just blindly listens to cory. he essentially tried to have his cake and eat it too.

Metroid Prime

The entirety of the Metroid series is covered in HG101 Digest 7: Metroid and Kid Icarus, please check it out!

Despite the widespread acclaim of Super Metroid, the series took a leave of absence during the Nintendo 64 era. Perhaps to make up for this, Nintendo planned for two brand new games to be released in late 2002, with a 3D one for the GameCube called Metroid Prime, developed by the Texas-based Retro Studios; and a 2D title for the Game Boy Advance called Metroid Fusion, developed in Japan. There was quite a bit of doubt over the 3D entry – Retro Studios had some staff from Iguana Entertainment, who had previously developed two of the Turok games for the Nintendo 64, but hadn’t released any games at all in their then-current incarnation. As first-person shooters like Halo were extremely popular at the time, there was also plenty of concern that the series would abandon its exploratory roots in favor of action. In the end, all fears were immediately allayed upon release where, curiously, the 3D Prime ended up being more faithful to the series’ roots than the 2D Fusion.
