PSA

please buy the homies flowers and shit. getting flowers from the homies is life giving. almost cried cause I keep getting handed flowers. gotta give em flowers back bc getting roses and lavender sprigs randomly is the damn equivalent of being blessed by peter, jesus, joseph, mary, hestia, george down at Olde Town Grocery and like, that real cute but dramatic cardinal that visits sometimes, all at once. the rose is orange and red and yellowy and it I'd love, the end.

Come Find Me - Chapter 79: And to Grand New Journeys (on Wattpad) https://www.wattpad.com/1285558448-come-find-me-chapter-79-and-to-grand-new-journeys?utm_source=web&utm_medium=tumblr&utm_content=share_reading&wp_uname=JurassicRaptor&wp_originator=U2ensSiouP5VQeFr%2FNQNs1mb%2BWad8CW9HOPx4Ae%2B3NUg99%2FJKSVquVRll2udd6YQ3gW5WaGUGWL5V3S0uQrtTShC%2B5yvGWFp%2FI6Ymv4qZAbI4%2BiXWKUHZNscFct3kVPX In 2024, the Deva Software Corporation releases the Samsara Virtual Reality Headset alongside their flagship title: The Pure Lands, a Virtual Reality Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (VRMMORPG for short). This single release promises to revolutionize gaming and the way we interact with others online. By October of that same year, Leon Cris is College graduate with no plan, no career, and overall no prospects outside of his mysterious "uncle Rick" who's bankrolled his life so far. For his twenty-second birthday, this unknown "uncle" gifts him the Samsara Headset with a note telling Leon to "Come Find Him" in a specific server on the game, a role-playing only server. Now Leon has to navigate the player-created world of the game, dozens of new influences on his life in the forms of friends, inspirations, and allies, forge connections, and meet the father he never knew, all while figuring out what he wants to do in life outside of this new game. Inspired by hit works of fiction like Hunter X Hunter, Sword Art Online, She-Ra: Princesses of Power, Black Clover, One Piece, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, the works of Studio Ghibli and more, while also taking thematic inspiration from religions such as Taoism, Hinduism, and Buddhism, "Come Find Me" is a story about living your life to the fullest and finding a family that will help you do that. As of November 11th, 2022, this story is COMPLETE.

“alicent/visenya have zero living descendants get owned” as if half of our favorite houses wont die the fuck out by the end of this series and the girlies and i wouldnt be dancing on their graves

Friendship is not about who you have known the longest, but about who came and never left

[sunshikilo]

did anyone order a mcsm gravity falls au

rewatched the whole series this weekend and i was like hey lol this kinda reminds me of those blocks and the more i thought about it a lot of the roles kinda clicked into place for me

dont know whether to make f!jesse and m!jesse the pines twins or olivia and f/m!jesse as dipper and mabel respectively... i know the first would make more sense it kind of messed with the rest of my characterizations and this is by no means a serious au i dont really care to keep anything super canon compliant LOL we can just call them fraternal twins if i choose olivia and jesse

Plus hear me out i think liv being dipper makes the most sense because theyre both techy, pragmatic, kinda socially awkward and pessimistic. mabel and the jesses is more of a stretch but they both have pet pigs and are usually the most optimistic #poweroffriendship people in any group theyre in (i guess it depends on how you play jesse but like i said a STRETCH)

ivor, petra, and axel's roles as stan, wendy, and soos are kinda a given i dont think i need to explain much about that decision 😭

though lowkey lukas doesnt fit anywhere in my version of this au gideon is the best i got LMAO 😭😭 the hair is kinda similar! i guess axel and liv could also be grenda and candy and lukas could be soos...?..? completely ignoring shipping? no idea there ehh

im just rambling now like this isnt a one off doodle ok lmk tho

unfeeling mechanical genius. attempting to overwrite this cyber world

HEY!! INTRUDER:R, YOU MUST BE!! YOU MAY CALL ME— AH— WHERE ARE YOU GOING!?!?

...

...the NERVE...!! he's like a robot...!

now how about this. the star tries his hardest to show this guy a world with feelings and humanity. no artificial feelings. maybe when he helps himself he can help the world with a community he hasn't realized is beautiful yet

alternatively tks is just trying to work with this guy whos so stubbornly a solo worker. and then he can show him the #poweroffriendship

[mysticalcats]

HI HELLO MYSTIC!!!! I’m sorry you’re stressed and I hope you feel better soon :)

For the ask game, 31, 33, 47, and 49? (for foxglove lolll)

HII!! thank you! i am feeling much better now!

31. what is their most traumatic memory/experience? what is their favorite memory?

hmmm i think the time before he was found by skimble was probably a bad experience. he slept in a box, ate very little, and was constantly freezing. this experience affected how he acts now, e.g. he eats at a scary speed, and can sleep in the most uncomfortable spaces to some because he's just used to it

his favourite memory probably has something to do with skimble hehe. probably the first time he went to the jellicle ball, and got to see a) all the cats, and b) skimble perform his song for the first time!

33. would they ever kill someone? what would someone have to do to push them to kill someone? if they would kill someone, why?

i don't think he would ever kill someone/want to kill someone, but i guess if he were to, someone would probably have to hurt his friends in some sort of way. he doesn't care too much about if he gets hurt, but he'd do anything to protect his friends. #poweroffriendship

47. can your character draw? what do they like to draw? do they doodle?

he cannot. but he likes to anyway! he probably draws a lot of butterflies in a very childlike style. i imagine he probably starts drawing because he saw bluebelle painting on clownaire's leg and was like WHOA!!!

49. does your character like candy? do they get sugar rushes? what are they like when they get a rush?

yeah! the sweets he commonly gets from the train are like, high tea desserts. he likes tarts the most! also butterfly cupcakes obviously

mmm

there's a placozoan called Cladtertia collaboinventa, which translates to "clade three, discovered with collaboration" bc according to the paper it was discovered with the help of many people and it belongs to clade three of the Placozoa and i just feel bad for it

it is literally one of 4 species named in the phylum and one of the other's name translates to "sea dragon". My guy does not deserve to be named numberthree poweroffriendship look at poor himb

"In a world on the brink of destruction, where ancient forces collide with cutting-edge technology, an unexpected hero emerges. With humanity's future hanging in the balance, they must unravel long-buried secrets, forge unbreakable alliances, and confront the overwhelming darkness threatening to destroy everything they love. Can they rise to the challenge, or will they be consumed by the shadows?"

[purgatorysmostwanted]

After the exorcists escape purgatory, what happens after? Why can't Luci leave like the others? Is Azazel able to leave as well? If yes, what makes him different from Luci? If no.. Did he die TT

Basically the remaining Exorcists (Micah, Minoe, Arania, K9, and Dj) gotta fight “gods” themselves (the Fates) in order to save.. Like.. the entirety of reality as we know it lmaoooo (they do succeed #poweroffriendship)

The way to travel between realms (Paradeisos, Purgatory, Hell) is through the use of a soul. Everyone in the afterlife has one (things without souls, things that were built in the mortal realms like robots etc don’t make it to the afterlife. They kinda just… Vanish) Luci and Az are special cases. They were created IN Purgatory (through the use of technology and biology shit idk. No u cannot get pregnant in Purgatory OR hell okay. Capiche. Ok.), which means they’re stuck in the afterlife without souls. Which ALSO means they can’t LEAVE Purgatory.

And, yes. They both die. While they can be difficult to kill, it’s not impossible. Cut the brain off from the rest of the body and they’re done for. Or burn them alive so they can’t regenerate fast enough. Az was stuck in the lab when it caught on fire, and Luci succumbed to his rot shrimple as that!!!!!!!!11

Also saw that your favorite tropes are retellings. What specific ones are your favorite? I feel like a lot of tropes work well with sports anime etc. They're already so emotional.

Is haikyuu the only one you watch?

Also, do you ever feel like you write one trope too much? Do you worry about it feeling repetitive?

so it depends! i think in my mind "retellings" is like a myth or a fairy-tale or even a folktale retelling -- so song of achilles is a retelling of part of the iliad. becoming jane is a movie that tries to reimagine jane austen's life and her relationships with the people in it in an attempt to contextualize her inspiration for the novels she wrote.

i like fairy-tale/myth retellings specifically because chances are, the reader already knows how the story goes. right so -- cinderella retelling -- you know off the bat, main character's probably gonna have a shite lot in life, there will be at least one step parent involved and step siblings. a shoe or shoe-adjacent thing will be lost at some point in time.

so you have the advantage of writing a story knowing what your readers already know about the original fairy tale. and then. the fun is the actual details -- how does your retelling differ? does it attempt to turn some of the stereotypes on it's head? do the stepsisters actually rock? perhaps prince charming suCKS and is super vain and cinderella kicks off her shoe to throw him off her scent as she tries desperately to flee the palace?

i think the fun of retellings is the same kind of fun the poets of old had with traditional poetry forms -- you have a set of rules (rhyme schemes, meter, etc) but within those rules? the world is ur fucking oyster and the sky is ur clam.

in terms of TROPES in animes though -- i think found family is my cincher. like. fuck bro.

idk romance makes me flail but like. FRIENDSHIPS?!?!?!??! sad lonely people finding other people who undersatnd them or taKE THE TIME TO TRY????? fINDING A PLACE TO BELONG??? to call UR OWN????

TEAMWORIK?!?!?!??! FUck me the fuck up.

i think that's what i love about sports animes SO MUCH (and no, it's not just haikyuu -- free!!, kurobas, most recenlty TSURUNE!!!) because it's BUILT on teamwork right. like U GOTTA. it's like THE ONETHING THAT MATTERS IN IRL SPORTS. PRINCE OF TENNIS??? bro. BRO.

yeah so that gets me the most. the TRUST. UGH dont even get me STARTED i will SCREAM.

(when i tell you my bf thought i was FUCKING DERANGED when i re-watched haikyuu and the ep where asahi comes back to the team came on and he screams "sUGAA!!!!!!" and suga is like "ah -- the ace is calling" and i was FULL BODY-HEAVE SOBBING MY EYES OUT)

like i joking say #PowerOfFriendship is like all shounen anime but like i am truly the biggest simp for this trope. the last ep of naruto shippuden when naruto asks iruka to COME TO THE WEDDING AS HIS FATHER?? BAWLING.

yeah. that. sry -- LMAO i got emotional there for a sec.

as to if i feel like i write one trope too much -- not really? my bf tells me that my "style" is pretty ubiquitous and he wants to see me try new styles, and i agree. i've settled into my writing style p comfortably and i like it the way it is.

but for tropes... i guess if there was one "trope" i say i write a lot if it's a nonlinear narrative? idk if you've noticed but i like to play with timelines A LOT. and i like to jump around.

i also like things coming back at the end bc that's #TheCircleOfLife y'know. and do i think i use it too much??? mmm maybe occasionally i'll be like damn i did that a lot. but i like it enough where i'm just gonna keep doing it cause it makes me happy :)

i guess i don't worry about feeling repetitive because in the grand scheme of things (and i REALLY like to think big picture cause it rly just gives u the perspective to not give a single fuck), every single story has already been written.

the hero's journey has been documented since time intinium. the anti-hero's journey almost as well documented (judas, anyone?). every romance, every friendship, every heartbreak, every war that's ever been fought -- has been fought before and will be fought again.

in the words of sarah kay "the universe has already written the poem you were planning on writing" and nothing under the sun is new.

so. if nothing is new anyway -- why worry yourself over it？

all you can do -- all any of us can do, is try to tell the same story in a way that's true to ourselves. in a way that speaks to us on a particular day, in a particular mood, under a particular climate.

and if you did that? then fuck. u did a good job! and im very very proud of you <3
