#possible sequel?

[buginateacup]

I would rather be in the tiny creative fandom of a dead media with no chance of a sequel than a bigger fandom paralysed by canon validation syndrome

[ID: Two page comic in color of Vash and Wolfwood from Trigun Maximum. The first page has a black background and the upper half, behind the panels, is splattered with stylized red blood, scattered bullets, and lifeless hands. In the first panel, it focuses on Vash's boots, showing him stepping through the panel and into the bloody scene. The second panel shows his bloody footprints and the third panel shows his face, his down-turned eyes looking downwards. It's a neutral, vague expression with confliction. At the bottom of the page, the back of Wolfwood's head and shoulder is seen, blood dirtying the white color of his shirt and side of his face. Vash's hand reaches out to him from the right side of the page.

The second page shows the entire scene in full, half the page in light and the other in solid black. At the center, Vash leans down onto his knees as he wraps his arms around Wolfwood's shoulders into a hug. Wolfwood's back is turned away from the viewer, his left arm holds onto his bloodied punisher and his right hand sits on his lap. Light casts from the left side of the page, showing the bloodied surrounding, but the held up punisher casts a shadow on the both of them, shielding them from the light. END ID]

some random TMA worldbuilding speculation about five years too late, but here it is anyway: I used to wonder what the practical purpose of Artifact Storage was supposed to be. like, I know the in-universe reason for its existence was that the Institute was "researching" the artifacts, but by the end we know the Institute wasn't researching shit; Elias (and presumably the people in charge of the sister organizations) knew exactly what was up with all that crap all along.

then I realized: it's Elias's home garden. hoard a bunch of extremely scary and dangerous artifacts with very specific containment requirements, then put a few stressed-out academics in charge of keeping it all in order so you can passively feed on their fear. people who desperately want to believe that learning and knowing the behaviors of every item will be enough to keep them safe. it's a less effort-intensive version of what Peter does on the Tundra.

Star Wars needs a ‘what-if’ series like marvel did. Or they need to like do the original endings they had for the shows and movies before they switched it. I just need an alternative reality where everything’s okay and nothing hurts.

"Where's the part where he turns out to be lying and there's no HL2VRAI?"

Congratulations, you figured it out. You know all my tricks.

The student becomes the master.

Master of shit.

It was HLVRAI the whole time!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

partway through the stream i had the passing thought of "wouldn't it be funny if at the very end hlvrai was mentioned as some kind of twist?" and. well.

(while i am crumbling into pieces from cramp pain)

back when they announced the totk masterworks book i said i wasnt happy about it bc it would either

prove they thought all this was good from the start and everything went as planned

show us that they had unbelievable better ideas and plans but for some unknow reason scrapped it all

as it stands now with the concepts i have seen ... they somehow did both, some things seemed to have been planned fro mthe start (the whole focus on sonau/zonai stuff for example, which i personally just dont like bc i liked them better as an unkown mystery you never get to meet) and other stuff (like ganondorfs concepts, or the infinitely cooler castle in the sky esque concepts for the sky islands, instead of some nonsensical, meaningless little stone crumbs) was much, much more interesting initially (together with the interviews that said they initially planned to have the battery be a magic meter and make the sonau more magic than tech- but then decided to build their stuff around modern electrical devices just so players would immediately know what it was an what it would do -why????? thats so boring?? and unecessary ?? and they still give you tutorials for it anyway, multiple times??!!- for some ungodly reason)

it makes me more and more sure that this game, that took 6 years to make with most assets already being there (the same time that botw took to make?????????), went through a similar development hell as that one final fantasy game did where the director decided to make it an entirely different game every few weeks bc he saw something cool in another game-

its the only thing that makes sense to me, why else would it be so weirdly ... unfinished, its full of grand ideas badly executed, or like i said in a previous post, like an alpha build (weird! did someone in charge also see cool stuff every few months and decide they wanted it in there too no matter what so everyone had to scramble to try and put it in making the whole jenga tower fall over and over??), just to test how far you can push things, with placeholders everywhere, the same cutscene pasted in where another should be and a placeholder reason to get players to go soemwhere (fake zelda) and rough ideas for puzzles etc, that was never finished, jsut highly polished (in looks, sounds and presentation) in hopes of it being 'good enough' or players not noticing (like, take the underground for example, the idea itself is fantastic and cool as fuck, but its feels like an idea that was never finished and just barely fileld with some things to try and cover up the fact that it was never done, like a statue that wasnt done being carved but ran out of time so they painted it anyway- take the base map and invert it, put some easily accessible points of jumping down into it in random spots to test if the game can handle it- no time left to actually get that idea anywhere more specific and well thought out/put together, so its left like that, put the same texture everywhere, barely modified copies of the same enemies, and some little reward spots that make no sense, modelling three types of trees and an enemy camp is way quicker to do than actually making an entire new map (they didnt have to make it the same size btw, just make it big but unique caves, put the gravity effect down there in enclosed spaces! makes it less weird to have randomly happen in the sky! etc) but its there!! its in the game and if they are lucky most players wont go down there enough to notice how meaningless and unfinished it all is)

knowing they would most likely never admit to it though, probably bc of their reputation, is just addign to the frustrations i have with it :I

(i just hate to not know the reason for things, if the devs, who are usually the ones being worked to the bone for things they know arent good, where put through that bc some executive big shot threw their tables around every so often or neglected their project bc they wanted to focus on something else first ... id like to know, i dont enjoy making up these conspiracy (?) theories .......... but i cant shake this feeling, its jsut makes no sense)

Mario definitely went through MORE, but not all of it was bad; he fell in love with a beautiful realm, made lifelong friends, and had the quality he was always shamed for praised at last. Luigi went through a smaller quantity of tribulations, but the whole thing was tinged in idleness and hopelessness. Even though DK and Peach warmly accepted Luigi at the end of the movie, Mario was the one who earned that friendship. Part of the Weeg angst potential could be him feeling like Mario blossomed into the person he was always meant to be while Luigi wasn't there to see it and cheer him on, and he feels like he can't keep up.

Also there's the fact that Luigi was already struggling to keep up with his brother when they were just plumbers, so while he no doubt feels happy for Mario I definitely think there would also be a sense of loss that he and Mario didn't get to grow together.

They had never been apart that long before, and it's just Luigi's luck that in the span of time that they were separated Mario learned all about the surrounding kingdoms, powerups and how to use them, how to fight and drive motorized war karts, and much more. So if Luigi felt like he was falling behind before, I'm willing to bet he now feels completely left in the dust. Even though they defeated Bowser together I imagine that once the high of that victory wears off, Luigi would be left with a strong sense of imposter syndrome. Sure, he saved Mario with a manhole cover... anyone would do the same. Everything after that he only managed to do with the power of the super star.

In the first movie Mario struggled with being perceived as a joke and wanting to prove everyone wrong, so I think it would be interesting if Luigi spent the sequel believing himself to be a joke and wanting to fix himself, even if it means pushing himself too hard and following his brother into dangers he is not physically/emotionally ready for.

Lizards and Pumpkins

AU Young Leto Atreides x fem reader

Summary: A ball is being held in the hopes that Leto Atreides will find an eligible maiden to marry as he is expected to become the next Duke of Caladan.

*This storyline will be similar to Disney’s Live Action Cinderella (2015). There the dress you will be wearing is like that one.

Author's note: This is my first fanfic ever. Therefore, please be kind about any feedback you all may have. Other than that, enjoy and let’s see where it goes from here.

When you get to the bottom of the steps, you notice the man from the forest you met a while back walking towards you. However, you had know idea he was the Leto Atreides of Caladan. You had been told that he was an apprentice in training but you had no idea you were speaking to the next Duke in line.

At this moment, you two are face to face with each other.

“It's you, isn't it?” Leto asks.

“Just so. Your grace…”, you respond and curtsy to him.

“If I may... that is... it would give me the greatest pleasure, if you would do me the honor of letting me lead you through this... the first…”, Leto struggles to say what’s on his mind due to being in a daze by your beauty.

“Dance?” You ask, smiling sweetly at him.

“Yes, dance. That's it.” He finally gets out.

While you and Leto start dancing, you notice the people surrounding you both.

You whisper to him, “They're all looking at you.”

At that statement, Leto smiles and says, “Believe me, they're all looking at you.”

——————————————————————

Leto pushes you gently on the swing in the secluded garden he shows you as you both carry on having meaningful chats.

A clink is heard, and you realize your slipper is off your foot. Upon noticing this, Leto stops pressing you, gets on her knees, and places the slipper on your foot.

With awe, he asks, "It's made of glass?"

"Why not?" you ask him, grinning.

Then, as though he wants to kiss you, he leans in close. "Will you please tell me your true identity?"

After giving it some thought, you say, "If I do, I think everything might be different."

Leto says, "I don't understand," with a perplexed expression. “At least, could you tell me your name?”

Just as you prepare to inform Leto, the clock chimes 11:59. That's when you recall what the fairy godmother said. You say as you turn to face Leto. "I must go now. It is difficult to describe. Pumpkins, lizards, and other things. You tell him you'll never forget it and thank him again for a fantastic night.

Leto murmurs, "Lizards and Pumpkins," as he watches you dash out of the garden. With a smile, he chooses to follow you.

One of your glass slippers slips on the palace steps as you walk to your carriage. Even if at first you want to pick up, you change your mind as you notice Leto approach you and climb inside the carriage.

When the carriage pulls out of the palace, you see Leto stoop to retrieve your slipper. You grin as you recall the amazing evening you spent with Leto. Despite your feeling that this is the final time you will ever see him.

You have no idea that Leto is planning to locate you. In one kind or another.

The first Christmas after the throuple get together Roy and Keeley are sooo excited about Sexy Christmas, and as they're very enthusiastically explaining the concept to Jamie they're going on about how, you know, they'll really be able to do the thing up properly this year, day of and everything, since they won't have Phoebe this time around! But Jamie is sat there being weirdly pouty about it. All like, "well okay, if that's what you guys really want to do :(" which is just?? in what universe is Jamie Tartt not excited about Sexy fucking Christmas?!

So obviously they press him on it and Jamie admits that he always spends Christmas with his mum and Simon. Which is like, of course he does, but the thought simply hadn't crossed Roy and Keeley's minds because they're both so used to having no real commitments that day (Roy is Jewish and while he's always happy to celebrate with Phoebe & his sister it's not an important holiday to any of them and he'd obviously rather spend it with his partners being all sexy for one another. Meanwhile Keeley just lowkey hates her parents and tries to spend as little time with them as possible lmao.) Anyway, Roy and Keeley are both immediately offended; "You muppet, you really thought we'd do Sexy Christmas without you?" "Obviously we'll wait for you to come home again, babe, that's the whole point." Except then Jamie is offended; "What? Well if you're not even going to do Sexy Christmas why the fuck wouldn't you come to Mummy's?" and that stops Roy and Keeley in their tracks because they hadn't realized they were invited?? This is very big news that Jamie wants them to meet his mum and stepdad?? Holy shit?? (Jamie in the background: uh? you've already met them though? Roy and Keeley, freaking out: not as your Boyfriend and Girlfriend, Jamie!!!)

And then in the end of course they're very honored and touched that Jamie wants them to spend Christmas with his family and gladly accept the invitation. And they're all so in love about it and proceed to have the best family Christmas ever followed by the sexiest of Sexy December 28ths when they return 💖
