{Kind of Important}

{prooobably a bad time to post this considering its pretty late over here, and i think its also probably fair to assume that its pretty late on your end to. buuut i gotta do it now or ill forget.

so! as you've seen prior, we've had occasional interactions with "duplicates" of members of the party- yknow, the fact that theres at least three siffrins, and that one king, and another bonnie hanging around. amongst, ah.... other things.

but, issue is, we as a group have kiiind of- intentionally or not- created a specific universe/timeline for ourselves. one with "official" individuals standing in for each character. which is a long way of saying that we can't really have our characters interact directly- as in face-to-face- if they're a character who has a pre-claimed "role".

long story short: we probably won't be able to have "duplicates" in the central story since it would disrupt it and what we have planned. i promise its no hard feelings, it would just get. Really Messy. otherwise.

that being saiiiiid, we still wanna interact with ya'll, regardless of whether your playing your oc, an alternate timeline version of pre-exisiting character, or something else entirely! (King set up the Anon-Bird thing for that exact reason, but it obviously has it's faults.)

i cannot speak for the others at this time- i think it's sort of a mixed bag of indecision and we need to discuss it more. but i, personally, would love to interact face-to-face. i did say i was welcoming you all with open arms, after all! (it's really our bad for not being a little clearer....)

so, with that noted, my personal solution is to create the concept of "out of universe" interaction. this way we can still have our characters hang out, and it won't disrupt the main timeline. generally speaking, isabeau will still be in whatever physical (and mental) state he is during that point in the timeline, but there won't be the weight of it disrupting what's actually going on for him and getting everything wildly off track.

i reiterate that this isn't a hard rule. this won't necessarily carry across blogs, and, while i dont want to promise anything, if we collectively choose to continue on after the main story is finished, i'll probably loosen it up considerably. because i think the concept having multiples of the same character running around a still recovering vaugarde for no discernible reason is hilarious. and i have a fun idea for connecting prior OoU interactions to make them a little more "canon"- ish.

but, y'know, we all still need to discuss this properly.

shit this got long. okay. UM. UH.

TL;DR: we can't currently "canonically" have our characters interact directly if they're "duplicates" of characters in the main timeline. that being said, we still wanna rp with those folks, so i personally will be making the decision to open up "out of universe" interaction with people so we can still interact without creating a disruption. the others might not do the same, though.

ill probably update the rules with this later. i dunno. im done here though, peace ✌}

bug testing, huh? are you sure all of this stuff is safe for me to wear? any game breaking glitches i should be aware of before we stack all of these multipliers?

It's prooobably fine! Yeah! I mean, I don't think anyone has tried for a "maxed out pregnancy" build before but, like, it's fine! Look, if we find any game breaking glitches, that just means the bug testing is working!

Now get in my car, we're going to the nearby krispy kreme. The north east corner of the store has terrible collision, and if we both try to occupy the same space while opening and losing our inventories rapidly, we'll clip through into the back, then we can eat all the doughnuts we want for free! And once you're full of tasty doughnuts, we can, uh, test your OTHER capacity! I know an RNG manipulation trick that's SURE to get you knocked up 100%!

Look, this question's been rolling around in m head for years and I finally need to ask b'coz you know how I am. So has Ol' Spooky ever been in the room where Ozai and Ursa where getting down and dirty doing the horizontal, or vertical? If so, how many times has it happened? And did Ozai just forget he was there in the heat of the moment? Or did he find some weird joy in having an audience? And would that make Spooky either an unwilling victim of their coupling, or a willingly perverted voyeur?

If there's one thing that can be said about you... you ALWAYS find a way to make me laugh my ass off, my friend. Thank you. Very much.

Honestly? Ozai would most certianly not even remember Seethus existed whenever he got it on with the wife 😂 it's not chance that Seethus seems to fade in importance for Ozai once he marries Ursa and starts his family. The naughty/nasty prince is not only busy making babies by then, but actually thinking about stuff outside of his political advancement for a while :') a total novelty for him, of course. This, of course, means that, if it happened, Ozai had absolutely no idea. I'm not 100% sure if Ozai would be too horrified if he learned that Seethus spied on them in such moments, but he probably wouldn't take it very well. On one hand, his ego would demand that he's smug about his performance! On another, his irrational side absolutely would rear up and he would rage at Seethus for seeing Ursa in her birthday suit?? Soooo... yeah. Anyone who wants to be their voyeur prooobably ought to think twice of it 🤣 not a healthy life choice, no sir...

... Hence, I can vouch for Seethus's, uh, integrity?? (should I use that word when I'm talking about this guy?? 🤣🤣) And say that not only is he not interested in spying in such things, but if he ever had been hanging around Ozai and sensed the ~vibes~ were getting too naughty he would've slipped out the window immediately and given his prince proper privacy 😂 If he was stuck in the room with them and couldn't get out for whatever reason? He'd definitely be more unwilling victim than pervy voyeur, for sure.

I know, probably not the fun answer you would've hoped for, but as much as our amusement would like for it to be otherwise... Seethus has basically zero interest in sexual matters. As things stand, his only actual interest in any such things is solely related to figuring out if Azula actually made a baby with Sokka or not! Beyond that, he's happy enough to go watch the stars while the weirdos in the Royal Family get it on with whoever they want to, has been that way since he started serving Ozai and it will be that way until the end of time.

... Again, though, thank you for the laughs 🤣 that was a good one...

[danthediamondminecart]

Hey hey! Very few questions to ask so I won't take too much time on introduction. Also, very late, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!🎉🎇. Got any new year resolutions for 2025? I gotta say man, time flies. I don't know about you but I feel like I am still stuck in 2022 even though it is now 2025. 2024 was truly a rollercoaster of emotions for me, so much has happened in 2024. Anyway; here are the questions for you to answer:

Q1) From the RBB judge's point of view;

• Who is the most chaotic RB Battler/Battlers?

•Who is the most sassiest RB Battler/Battlers?

• Which RB Battler has the "Main Character Syndrome"? (If you know what I mean)

•Who is the most forgotten RB Battler/Battlers?

• Which RB Battler has the weirdest habits?

• Who is the most enthusiastic/energetic RB Battler?

• Who is the smartest RB Battler?

• Who is the most mysterious RB Battler?

• (This one is so god damn obvious) Who is the most calm RB Battler?

•Who is the most talkative and also the loudest RB Battler?

• Which RB Battler can be considered as the "Parent/Mom of the group"?

• And last but not least, Who is most reliable RB Battler?

Q2) Do you have any favourite Roblox game?

Ok, that's all and yet again; HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

(please tell us about your new year resolutions)

Happy new year! Sorry this took a while to get to, school started again and I've been busy.

My New Year's resolution this year is to get into (a good) university.

Yeah, I'm doing my university exams and applications this year, so that's what I'm putting my focus into, sorry if you wanted art stuff lol. My plan is to get into a good uni. That is all. NGL I was kinda dreading 2025 for this reason, I won't traumadump on you, but to put it lightly, the university process so far has not being going well. So...there's that.

I guess my other resolution for this year is to finish BLSMP, dear god it's been going on for two years my other fics never lasted this long.

As for your other questions, I'll put them under the cut!

Q1) Here we go:

Chaotic: Albert. There is no questions about this.

Sassy: Prooobably Sanna?

MCS: Kreek. Also, Tanqr. There is a reason they butt heads.

Forgotten: Probably anyone from Season 1 who wasn't in the other seasons (so Seedeng, Cybernova, Smallant).

Habits: Albert, again. Brother is weeeeird.

Enthusiastic: Pretty much everyone is energetic, so it would be hard for them to pick. Well, Sabrina and DJ would say Russo, Russo would probably say like Bella and then immediately agree that they're right

Smartest: Depends on whether you mean flat intelligence or wisdom. The hosts would think flat intelligence, so that would probably be Hyper, MiniToon, Kreek or maybe Russo due to his abilities (If we count Mr B, they'd say Mr B). If we're specifying wisdom...uh, I'd say everyone has their unwise moments. So the hosts would probably make a joke about the answer being no one. (There are many different types of smart - book smart like Hyper and Kreek, socially smart like Kreek, Denis and Leah, combat/street smart like Tanqr and Bandites, etc. Jackeryz has combat and intelligence smarts, so maybe him?)

Mysterious: Hm. Tanqr, maybe? Albert again? Though the hosts know a lot about their competitors, so they wouldn't really consider any of them to be "mysterious" imo. BigB, because of his Life-Series-induced-Disappearances, I guess?

Calm: You're probably thinking of PinkLeaf. However, I don't think that's the case - he's quiet, sure, but that doesn't mean he's calm. That boy is a bundle of anxiety actually. Anyway, I think they'd say Denis, Bandites or Jayingee.

Loudest: Kreek is damn well talkative and quite loud, so he'd probably be the host's first thought. though I think Russo would again come up as an option for this one, rip bozo

Mom friend: Russo. Well, all the hosts are. If we're talking competitors specifically, Thinknoodles, though that mf also needs a mom too tbh. Including the guest hosts, NightFoxx.

Reliable: None of them /j. Okay in reality, I'd think that Megan, Sabrina, Ashley, Hyper and Kreek always get the jobs they have to get done done before getting side tracked. (Though expect a bit of a wait time with Kreek, he always has a lot on his plate.)

Q2) Does RB Battles Minigames count?

If not, I'm not really sure. Despite having RB Battles as my main fixation, I don't actually play Roblox all that much? I play Minecraft a lot more. I guess the games that I've played a lot of would be Big Paintball (& Big Paintball 2) and Super Golf, so them, I guess. I have always enjoyed playing the Arsenal event games, so they're up there. Epic Minigames is cool too.

Thanks for asking :)

[shkika]

i cannot get enough of your moon theories tbh, earlier moon is such a fun concept to explore.

what do you think moon would have thought of everyone just disappearing. for one she probably would have had to take charge of everyone during the panic but also what kind of a mess would be going through her head through that

I'm beyond happy you enjoy them aah!

By everyone disappearing I'll assume you mean the ancients during the mass ascension?

Hmm let me see what I can muster..

I'd say it prooobably wasn't a sudden occurrence. The iterators would probably be able to catch something so big being planned. Because the mass ascension was not only planned, but also forced. And unless I am missing something from the game saying otherwise, they were also told about it, as if hiding something so big would be possible. They were gifts meant to save the world the ancients are leaving behind.

I don't think every iterator ever met this with panic. I'd say Moon was both relieved (she wouldn't have to deal with them finally) and very bitter (for the fact they were abandoned). For all the harm that has been done, now there is no one to actually take care of them. I'm not sure how quick the whole "we will decay eventually and die" settled, but uh.. still rather unpleasant for everyone.

I am sure she takes the time to talk to all of her local group to make sure they are okay as long as they allow. And if Wind alerting Moon about someone having dangerous ideas in the group says anything, she probably still keeps the responsibility of taking care of everyone.

Not as their senior I think, but as family.

[lmanburg-letter-service]

To: Tubbo and Ranboo

hey big guys. Uhhh been a while yeah? never really written one of these before (Well. i've written some private letters to my brothers before but never posted them onto one of these so)

Fuck i'm awkward as shit right now but. how're you doing Tubso? you taking care of yourself? yeah? because you Better fucking be or else i'm breaking reality itself and i'm GOING to make you take care of yourself YOU HEAR ME, best friend threats aside, hope you're doing great. i feel just a little bit hollow whenever i see the words bossman and know i won't ever really listen to you say those words to me or, well anyone again, but it's been getting better. you were and are my best and closest friend, and i'm sorry for being such an idiot so many times throughout our friendship. i did stupid things, and blamed you for it many times, that wasn't fair at all no matter how much i was struggling, you were struggling too for the longest time man. i just want you to know you're a damn saint for dealing with it and staying by my side, you couldn't always protect me (no matter how much you tried) and i don't blame you for it, some things just can't really be helped i guess, miss you big man.

and Ranboo (without a b because i'm so very gracious like that), it's been raining a shit ton lately. i know you'd hate it here, sure i like the rain but i can't really help but feel panicked whenever some rain drops fall because "oh cool rain. wait SHIT WHERE'S RAN" and then i realize you're not here and even if you probably PROBABLY wouldn't be horribly allergic to the rain anymore, in fact, maybe you like rain now? who knows honestly, it's like, you burn in lava normally but if you didn't then actually it'd maybe be kind of cool to just, sit in lava without toasting?? maybe that's a weird thought, i dunno you tell me. that aside, i should've hung out with you more man, i didn't want to admit it back then absolutely not but you're fucking hilarious when you want to be, you always stood up for what was right n all that and i always appreciated that yknow, i'm glad uh, i'm glad nothing ever happened to you after the trial. my own situation after it was, Bad capital B Bad, but it felt better knowing you would never get to be in my shoes. i barely remember the letters you sent me anymore but they were one of the best highlights in my day that the. person. tormenting me wouldn't be able to taint. you didn't need to do that but you did, you really don't need to do a lot of things but you still do em for people, i guess that's just a you thing.

woah look at me being a real poet, actually, i've been considering straight up making poetry what would that be like?? you ever do any poetry?? ..if anybody ever finds this letter i mean. who knows. i'll probably uh, send in some others some other time, maybe when i get reminded of you guys again, which i mean happens often you were my best friends even if i was an ass and didn't really deserve it, okay i'll jsut say i miss the sleepovers i know i said they were cheesy and maybe they kind of are but WHO CARES!! CHEESYS GOOD SOMETIMES EY

but right right Uhh. should prooobably end this before it turns into my personal 3784739k word novel: i miss my best friends frowney face, so

from your bestest most awesome big man friend, a Big T/clementine fictive ❄️🌫️

[vergess]

Hi can I ask if you know more about those 4-5 major kinds of sleep aides? Because I have tried several, all prescribed, and uh. "hangover" doesn't even begin to describe what they do to me. we're talking taking half of the smallest dose, and still sleeping for half a week. I've had insomnia my whole life as well as inattentive ADHD and every medical professional with the ability to prescribe me things immediately wants to shove a sleep aide down my throat as soon as they learn this about me and now I'm wondering if I've just gotten unlucky and only gotten the Bad Kinds (for me). (I'm guessing this is sort of like how SNRIs fuck up big time but SSRIs either don't do anything or do only a little bit to me)

I'm NOT a doctor, and this is NOT medical advice, just my personal experiences.

You prooobably don't need sleep medication, but rather, need a stronger stimulant/extended release/a second dose before bed.

I know that sounds contradictory. Take uppers to fall asleep???

But if you have ADHD and you're having reactions that bad, then the sleep meds are interfering with your already suppressed (by the ADHD) brain function.

See, it turns out, sleep is one of those things you need to focus on to do, but most ADHDers don't have any stimulant/focus left in them by bedtime. So instead of falling asleep, they drift into complicated ("buzzing") thoughts and keep themselves distractedly awake, often with bonus anxiety.

If that sounds like you, I would suggest an experiment.

Next time you have 2 days off in a row, skip your ADHD meds on morning #1 (yes your function that day will suffer from being unmedicated! That's why it's on a day off), and instead take them right before bed that night.

Then, do whatever you can to make yourself comfortable that does not include the internet or video gaming. I exclude those two options because they are almost custom designed to overstimulate and sinkhole an ADHDer's mind.

I recommend taking a hot shower, listening to some music or podcast, or practicing your daydreaming skills by hypothesizing on your favourite characters or tropes (also known as "meditating on a subject" instead of "mindfulness meditation").

Once you can feel the stimulants kicking in, lay down and try to drift off.

If you're lucky, and it turns out you just need a second dose before bed, you'll wake up the next morning feeling almost medicated and surprisingly functional, and you can take your morning #2 dose as normal.

Then, you can report to your doctor that you tried taking your meds before bed, it helped your sleep, and you'd like to get a second dose prescribed for bedtime use. Your doctor may be unfamiliar or uncomfortable with this because stimulant medications have a bad reputation and ADHD does too. In that case, you can ask about splitting your existing dose in two instead.

Otherwise, I unironically suggest having a coffee or energy drink before bed. It's not as good, but caffeine can help in a pinch. (Actually, if you've ever noticed that coffee makes you sleepy, you can probably skip this experiment).

If you're unlucky and the stimulant keeps you awake instead, then day #2 is also a day off and you can do whatever you need to recover from the experiment, be that napping or going to bed early etc.

If the experiment fails, and you've had such poor reactions to sleep meds, then it's time to consider that you don't have insomnia, but instead one of the many other sleep disorders comorbid with ADHD. These include delayed sleep phase, narcolepsy with insomniac symptoms (I have this), or atypical circadian rhythm (the GF has this one).

None of these are well treated with sleeping pills. In fact, all of them tend to be worsened by sleeping pills, in contrast to traditional insomnia.

But they do respond fairly well to two things: light boxes, and melatonin, both of which are available over the counter or prescribed.

Using a light box when you wake up, and taking a single dose of melatonin 4 hours before you want to sleep (eg: 6PM dose for a 10PM sleep time) will take about 2 weeks to show results.

But it can make a staggering difference in sleep quality for delayed sleep phases and circadian rhythm disorders. Basically what you're doing is violently forcing your body to have a "correct" circadian rhythm by using artificial melatonin to start the sleepytime process, when your natural supply isn't working.

The light therapy meanwhile acts as an artificial Morning much more concentrated than a usual morning (though in the summer you can just sit facing the sun for half an hour with your eyes shut instead), which trips the body-wake-up systems that are usually suppressed or disrupted. It's a sort of "jump start" for systems that exist but don't start when they're supposed to.

Of course, all of this assumes you don't suffer from sleep apnea.

Sleep apnea, the king of sleep disorders, will completely fuck you no matter what you do until you get a CPAP mask. There's just no way around it. It's super common, and if you sleep alone (not with partners) it's also super easy to never notice you have it.

People associate sleep apnea with being fat, but actually it's very common across all weights, because it's caused by a small deformation in your tongue or throat. When your body fully relaxes, these slightly deformed muscles end up completely closing your airway.

Sleep apnea is as easy to diagnose as it is hard to notice, fortunately!!

The doctor gives you a little oxygen meter to wear while you sleep one night (at home, even! No sleep lab needed!) and if your oxygen drops below a threshold, that's apnea baby.

Because apnea prevents you from actually sleeping for more than a few minutes at a time (though you usually won't wake up all the way to notice it), it tends to make you feel like death itself if you take sleep medications. This is because your body is loaded up on sleepytime chemicals but physically cannot sleep, and thus cannot process out the chemicals, so you'll feel like you stayed up 2 or 3 nights for every night you "slept" (passed out) with the pills.

smash or pass + the heartsteel boys

“I knew this was gonna come up. I’ll make it real easy and tell ya I’d smash all’ them—BUT, you prooobably want a full length conversation so uh, here we go!”

“Let’s start off easy. Aphelios. Silent type—super smart, hell of a lyricist. Surprisingly a funny dude, and real good lookin’ under that mask when he doesn’t wearing.” Ezreal snorts softly. “Pretty chill, pranks ‘n stuff aside. Smash.”

“K’sante—Smash. No need to get into a lot with the guy. Soothing voice, great to hang around. Guy kinda levels out Yone’s whole ‘Band Mom’ vibe. He’s like…the cool band dad? Okay that’s getting weird. Scratch that. Anyway, smash.”

Ezreal pauses for a moment before he bring a hand to his chin in thought as he tries to pick his words very carefully. “…Yone, smash. Kinda curious as to what a stoic guy like him is in bed, you know? I can kinda guess with the others, but he’s like, TOTALLY shrouded in mystery! Like, you can’t get a read on him sometimes!!”

Ezreal nods, now crossing his arms over his chest and tapping his chin with his finger. “Sett. Smash. He’s nice to me—I know he’s not a dog but he kind of reminds me of a big dog. Real good dude, but you get on his bad side and it’s game over, y’know? There’s like…surprise danger around him! It’s exhilarating! Makes a guy super curious to know what he’d do to ya, y’know?”

“Okay, so—Phel, K’sante, Yone, Sett…that leaves…”

Kayn.

“Oh.”

His demeanour changes instantly. Honey gaze glances around to make sure that he isn’t around—if Kayn ( @shadedbeats ) heard him, Ezreal would never live it down. He wasn’t going to be quick with his answer just because it was Kayn—it wouldn’t be fair! But…

His hands dig into the pockets of his hoodie; his face dips into it to try and hide his flushed face. A huff leaves his nose. “Kayn is uh…um…” the confidence he had with the other was completely dissipated. He was wrapped around the guys finger; Kayn turned him into a mess merely from being mentioned. He coughs, shaking his head. “…My boyfriend? I think—no, no!! He is—“ has he ever said that out loud? We’re they even boyfriends? They fooled around, sure…”I dunno. He’s cool. We have the same kinda humor and like to do the same stuff and he would TOTALLY kill me if he hears this but he can be soft sometimes and I—“

Hands cover the Pop Star Prince’s face and he groans in frustration. “He’s…really hot, okay!? I said it! Smash times like, 100!”

Ugh, he’s so embarrassed.

I have never participated in r/196 in my life, but ill do my best! 1. Uuuh.. Sock. Sock is a good name. Toes? Sock.. Anime. Uh. Wheatley. Wheatley is a good name. 2. anything, transfem 3. Uuuh.. Bi? Bi..c pen? I dunno, I experience a lot of things and Im not sure what it falls under. 4. What are you, a cop? 5. Does Imaginos have a fandom? I mean, Blue Oyster Cult does, but specifically the work known as The Soft Doctrines Of Imaginos. Then prooobably NGE, Sonic, the whole sorta furby/gigapet/mechanical animatronic whatever pet, and Transformers, of course. 6. I want to just shove an entire furby in my mouth and have its cries echo out my face holes like that one episode of spongebob where he finds the giant eldritch statues of himself and becomes violently depressed and nigh-suicidal. 7. Uuuh.. Ladybug, probably? Id pet a ladybug if it were like, cat sized. 8. I once cost my entire school a scholarship as a child by violently jeering and mocking the visiting deans sports team, and then kicking him in the nuts. Not proud of it. 9. Blue tastes like blue. But more specifically, like.. Thick Blue Gatorade. A sludge, almost. 10. I saw the face of god in a dream, and I woke up crying. 11. I once tried to download Imgburn and gave my poor Compy a horrid piece of rogueware that killed it, 365 days from when it was installed. Literally had a kill timer and everything. Also, I once threw a bowling ball into a crowded group of people as a child, and broke somebodies hand. 12. One of my childhood friends constantly flaunted his "wealth", claiming he lived in a mansion and had maids and everything. When pressed on this, he ended up showing up at school with fifteen fat stacks of monopoly money. And hey, honestly, if he can afford that many boards, hes probably rich. Also, he tried to stab me in a church bathroom six years later, because I pointed out his sharpied-on moustache. That was also pretty stupid. 13. Blue Oyster Cult, by Blue Oyster Cult. I suppose "Subhuman" would be the more popular version of the song, but it goes too fast for my liking. I prefer the almost operatic, somber rendition from the Imaginos album. Go check out all of Imaginos honestly, its utterly fantastic, just make sure you get a proper listening order for it. 14. Honestly, not really? I just thought it would be funny to make something that would totally not fly on Reddit. 15. Game Tester! 16. Please resurrect Richard Williams from the dead so I may serve under him as an apprentice/worship him. Barring that, something in the field of animation. 17. I like it, I think! I dont know if Ive ever had anything with it in, but Im sure Id like it if I tried it! 18. A bowling alley that no longer exists for the crime of ball throwing, a church for being too loud as a child, a school for accidentally inciting a riot and involving the cops, a comic book store for asking for help, another school for headbutting a teacher, and a museum for putting my mouth on an ocarina in the gift shop. 19. i used to combine all the fruit drinks in a hotel breakfast nook until it was pitch black and chug it like vodka. Tasted great, by the way. 20. trans rights @angenericaccount @the-blueberry-sage @a-shard-of-ace @phantomband

“I just came from r/196” ask game

Saw another post. I think I should invite y'all to one of our longstanding traditions. Answer the questions then tag 10 (or more) people. I'll go first.

Name? Frankie

Pronouns and gender? he/they/it, transmasc

Sexuality? Lesbian

Country? USA

Top 5 fandoms? Bungou Stray Dogs, Cosmere, All for the Game, Fundiesnark (not a series but I'm too deep in it to not consider it a fandom), .....the tornado fandom? (they're my special interest)

What is your Most forbidden snack? The preserved bones at the Atlanta Bodies Exhibition. They looked so crunchy...

Would you pet a bug? If it's big enough, it is pettable.

Share a weird fact/story about yourself with the class. I like to drive around rural areas and photograph old, sometimes abandoned locations in the dead of night. I have been literally chased out of towns by foot and by car on two separate occasions. The second time this happened, "See You Again" by Miley Cyrus came up on shuffle and that's the soundtrack my friend and I tore out of town to. Also every "guy" I've dated except for my most recent ex (who has big egg energy) is a lesbian now.

What does the color blue taste like? Creme brulee

What is the most beautiful thing you've ever seen? The appalachian mountains of Tennessee in the middle of summer. There's kudzu everywhere. On the backroads, there were several old, dilapidated Baptist churches barely hanging to the side of the mountain. I wonder how many of them were still in use.

What is the stupidest thing you've ever done? Short version: my friend's house almost got broken into by this dude who'd been stalking us for months while we were home alone. Instead of calling the cops, we decided to confront him with a bow and arrow (me), a hatchet, and a baseball bat (him). The plan was that if it went badly, we would simply throw his corpse into one of the many lakes in the neighborhood and let the alligators eat his remains (this was Florida). Why? Because we were afraid of having our home-alone privileges revoked. Luckily for us all, the guy fucked off and we never saw him again.

Stupidest thing you've seen/heard someone else do/say? My ex thought that Jackalopes were real. Also, a nurse I was doing rotations with apparently thought that "Witness Protection" was for Jehovah's Witnesses.

Hyperfixation song? Young Enough + Bleach by Charly Bliss

Is there any meaning behind your profile picture and/or username? Profile pic; I'm transmasc and I'm currently obsessed with TriStamp. Username; It was my fake internet name when I was like 13. I won't change it because I want my mutuals to recognize me, and because I do have a viral post associated with this name.

Dream career as a child? Doctor (funnily enough I'm now in nursing school)

Dream career as an adult? Professional Jester. Not a comedian. I just want to be some weird little guy who dresses silly and you can hire me to roast your boss at work parties.

Thoughts on cilantro? Delicious

Have you ever been banned from a location and if so, why? I honestly can't remember? Probably... but in recent memory I've mainly banned people from places.

What is your cursed food combination? Pineapple on a hotdog with grilled onions. It Slaps.

Trans rights? TRANS RIGHTS

Started off as a prompt fill idea that veered off course, so I’m claiming it for @owlcatober 2022 Day 31: Searching.

Fandom: Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous

Relationships: Commander/Woljif

Other: sexual themes

What exactly do you do after you’ve already accomplished the impossible?

Also on AO3

The first thing I did upon getting back to Drezen after closing the Worldwound was get rip roaring drunk. Not that I usually need an excuse. I am part of Cayden Cailean’s clergy, after all. This just seemed like a particularly good one.

Enough other people agreed with this being a good idea that we had quite the party going on. Fye was certainly making good money tonight. Which would hopefully counteract the mess we were making.

My memories are a bit hazy, but I found myself dancing on top of the table with Thaberdine, having a grand old time until I slipped on a spoon and took a tumble.

“Gotcha–ahck.” Woljif tried to catch me, but being taller and heavier than he is, my momentum just sent both of us crashing to the ground to the laughter of everyone around us.

“Why, hello there,” I said, twisting a finger through a lock of his hair.

Woljif coughed from under me. “Not to be a buzzkill, but I think you’ve prooobably had enough.”

“I’ve only had…” I tried to count, but numbers were hard. “Lots.” I pushed myself up. “Okay, maybe, yeah.”

The crowd, done with us, had turned their attention to a drinking competition between Seelah and Nenio (for science). Considering I thought Seelah might be immune to hangovers and Nenio could forget being drunk, I was not laying any money anywhere near that.

Woljif wrapped an arm around my waist under my wings and guided me towards the door.

“Wait,” I tried to turn back. “I need to pay my tab.”

“It’s fine, Poetry.”

“Did you cover it?”

“Uh…” he scratched the back of his head.

“Woljif.” I stopped walking. “Look, I’ve stolen a lot of things in my life–we stole some WMDs from the merfolk once–but I never, ever steal from barkeeps. I think I’d lose my spell slots.”

“Fine, fine.” He tossed a pouch of coins over to Fye on the counter, who caught it with a nod. “Now can we get you to bed?” He steered me out the door.

“Hmmm,” I leaned over to nibble on his ear. “So that’s your motive, is it?” 

Someone wolf whistled. Even this late, there were still people out on the street. Evidently the party in Drezen was more widespread than just the tavern.

Woljif laughed nervously. “I think you’re a bit far gone for that, chief. How about some nice sleep?”

I blinked at him, tripping on my own feet. This did not compute in my fuzzy brain. Usually, when I was drunk was when people did want to have sex with me. And there was a whisper in the back of my brain that said I could walk back into that tavern and find someone to share my bed for the night, the fun way.

But that would hurt Woljif. And should I throw away my chance with the boy that would still be there in the morning for some temporary pleasure? And when did I get sentimental?

“Being responsible sucks,” I muttered. “And here I was wondering how I had suddenly become the responsible one,” said Woljif. “When did I sign up for that?”

“When you took up with the divine agent of chaos,” I kissed his cheek, sending both of us stumbling. “If I can’t have sex, I at least demand cuddles.”

He squeezed my waist. “Can do.”

-

I woke up with the worst headache. I mean, every headache feels like the worst headache, but this was pretty bad. Swearing under my breath with spots in front of my eyes, I sat up, extracting myself from the limbs of a sleeping Woljif. Lesser restoration was enough of a relief that I was able to see straight again.

The room was basically the same as when I left it for Threshold. Clothes on the floor, papers on the desk, the closet slightly ajar–

I had to get out of this room and away from that stupid closet. After pulling myself out of bed and quietly putting on some comfy clothes–I think that shirt might have once belonged to Pierre, that’s awkward. Well, he’s not going to want it back now with the giant hole in the back for my wings–I tiptoed out into the hallway and softly closed the door behind me, trying not to wake Woljif. I leaned against the wall with a sigh of relief. After not going through with the Council’s stupid plan with the cauldron, I really didn’t want to talk to them again. Ever.

I winced with the pangs of my headache still threatening to press back against my skull. Fresh air. Fresh air would help. I made my way down the hallway, through the command room to the balcony. The sun was just starting to rise.

That Council. All my other councils. Sweet barely brew, Galfrey was going to want a detailed report.

Too much. Too, too much.

The deed was done, my part was spent, my soul was saved (again). It was time to get out of here.

I looked out over Drezen. I had accomplished a lot in this town. There was a lot I would miss, the people the most, but I could already feel myself begin to vibrate with the thrill of a new journey.

“There you are, chief,” followed by a large yawn. I turned my head to see Woljif’s mop of curls in the doorway. “Didn’t you party a little hard to get up this gods damned early?” He approached to lean against the balcony edge next to me. He was still shirtless and my eyes wandered down his chest, then farther down–

“It’s time to leave,” I said, pulling my thoughts back up the loop. “How does Vudra sound? That’s where I was headed before I wound up, well, here. I only made it as far as Jalmeray. Or Qadira? Or maybe all the way to the Dragon Empires?”

“Wha…?” Woljif stared at me, dumbstruck.

“I just can’t do this anymore,” I said. “I’ve been here too long. This is the longest I’ve stayed anywhere in my adult life. Because I’ve had to. But we won. Galfrey can clean up the mess; it’s her country.”

“If, if that’s what you want.” His voice cracked and he turned his face away from me, folding in on himself. “I’ve still got my thiefling contacts, I can start again there. Or maybe Daeran’ll give me a place to stay–”

“Wait. Wait, wait, wait,” I interrupted him. “Are you not coming with me?”

“Oh, uh.” Woljif relaxed, turning back to me now. “I, well, I’ve never left Mendev before. The Abyss aside. Hell, I’d barely left Kenabres before… all of this happened.” He awkwardly ran a hand through his messy curls. “But, yeah. I love you, Poetry. I don’t want to lose this. I’ll come along if you’ll have me.” He gave me the biggest puppy dog eyes.

My chest tightened and I had to look down. I still hadn’t said it back yet. It was a permanency I hadn’t been able to face. Previously, whenever things had gotten too serious, too comfy, I ran. And it would be so easy to leave Woljif behind. To not face whatever this was. To just pack a small bag and skedaddle in the early morning light.

But if that’s really what I wanted, I would’ve been gone already.

“Yeah,” I smiled over at him, hoping I hadn’t paused for too long. “Of course. How’d you like to meet my dad?”

[rayofmisfortune]

Alright so I had this prooobably lmk au idea yesterday??

[Season 3 spoilers ahead]

Ok SO, the idea takes from JTTW, specifically the part where SWK is uh trapped under a mountain for 500 years. There's no way he doesn't have at least SOME trauma from that right?

Now, why am I talking about ya monkey dude being stuck under a mountain? WELL MY DEAR TUMBLR USER! That's because an idea came to me!

Now, the idea is that SWK just.. gets trapped under a mountain by LBD and just relives his trauma cuz bro being stuck under a mountsin unable to escape with little to no contact and being unable to move? 🌌Angst material🌌

.. I uhhh have some scenarios how that came to be?? I'm just going to list them and see if anyone that ends up reading this will like them or.. smtn?

Ok so

SCENARIO NUMERO UNO

LBD manages to hold SWK in place for a lil while longer than she does in S2 Ep10, so he uses up his powers in a last ditch attempt to get MK out of there, while also giving MK the map to the Samadhi fire. LBD captures the powerless Monkey King. Planing to possess him and use him as her new host cuz he's just better suited for it or some crap- BUT as we know SWK is powerless and reduced to a shell of his former self and is as useful to LBD as the little girl she possesses. Here comes a line I really like, it's gonna be used in all of the ideas cuz I just think it hits the Monkey King real hard in his carefully woven image.

LBD: "This? Is what The Great Sage equal to Heaven has been reduced to?"

Oh and Macaque is here as well, "The Mayor" still threw him to LBD in this so uhhh he's there for SWK's capture as well.

Sooo LBD just throws SWK under some random mountain, with Macaque looking on from the shadows. He's not useless to LBD just yet. Because she still needs MK.

So uhh yeah SWK is just chillin under this mountain, with the gang having NO ODEA WHERE THE IRRESPONSIBLE MONKEY IS. Sooooo after MK convices them to go look for SWK while looking for the Samadhi fire as well (Tang'll be the one to figure out what the map is to, such a fanboy, love you Tang /platonic), they just go on their quest similar to how they do in the show.

SCENARIO NUMERO DOS

SWK is kidnapped while he's in one of his meditation states, with the gang being somewhere else.

Mac is the one who kidnaps him here. And he's kiiinda surprised at jsut how EASY it was. But he's not gonna complain, everything to get the job done and get away from LBD as fast as possible.

And then it goes the same.

Now tho after SWK is kidnapped, the gang believes that he went on his merry way to get the fire himself, cuz they were too slow for his tastes. MK, while having a hard time not believing that, senses that something doesn't seem right. And convinces the others and himself that they need to find Monkey King and that he's in danger, or smtn and needs help.

SCENARIO NUMERO TRES

Set after season 3 episode 10

SWK goes off to fight LBD. And uhhh somehow ends up being trapped under a mountain instead of being possessed/becoming her henchmen?

Now I'm sorry but I don't really remember if Nezha and MK went to stop Monkey King before he did smtn stupid or if they're going to search for Mei... I'm going with that they're going with the former. So then, those two are the only ones looking for him.

Well that's all so far.. I'm proobably gonna make some doodles of this so ummmm, haha yeah! :>

[shut-up-danny-kun]

Magnus Archives - theoretical film adaptation

Okay, let me begin by admitting that it's probably a bad idea. MAG was made specifically for a podcast format - some things wouldn't even work if we could see what's happening. For example, it would've been practically impossible not to notice that Sasha has been replaced.

But let's say, *Ben Shapiro voice* let's say, for the sake of argument, that Magnus Archives became as popular as Harry Potter and people were demanding a film adaptation. How should one even approach the task?

I’d say the two most crucial elements of the podcast are its horror and its characters (yeah, there’s pretty much nothing else). The characters, if cast well, would not suffer from the visual format at all, so we’re fine on that front. The horror, however...

See, MAG is based on “cosmic horror” or “Lovecraftian horror”  - fear of the unknowable, incomprehensible, something that contradicts reality itself. Sure, some of the episodes are about beetle sex, but those aren’t the most plot-relevant or impactful ones. When giving statements, people often struggle to describe what they experienced, resorting to metaphors or analogies, because language doesn’t even have the terms needed to explain the Dread Powers.

The question is - how do you film something you can’t understand by definition? Like, “the sky ate my son”. Sure, CGI is amazing, but don’t you think it would be kind of underwhelming if, like, a giant mouth opened in the sky and ate a dude? Okay, actually, it would be kind of hilarious ngl.

But you get it. No visual tool is better than imagination, and Jonny Sims knows that very well - that’s why he made a podcast, not a show. 

If the whole event was shown using special effects, it would be disturbing - but not as scary as the podcast. Remember, the fear comes from not knowing how it could possibly be. Cutting away at the most important moment would not only be disappointing, but also undermine the whole purpose of a film adaptation. 

I have two potential solutions to this problem (I have no idea what I’m doing I'm trying to have fun please don’t harass me):

Go full arthouse.

Lighten the tone.

By the first point I mean reject all cinematic norms. I think that in that case, the visuals should only be used to enhance the effect of the narration, sort of like a music video instead of a film. I think it would work if normal life was animated and supernatural stuff would be live action, stop motion or something like that, just to enhance how wrong it all is. A good director could make it really scary, and it would preserve the vibe of the source material, however, most people don't like arthouse - there's a reason why it's not mainstream.

The other option would certainly be more popular. I say if we can see the monster, we can fight the monster! Then we don't need the supernatural elements to be so scary and incomprehensible. MAG could be something more akin to...well, uh, Scooby Doo, where there's an option to actually do something instead of just hoping you get lucky. Yeah, that would kind of undermine one of the main themes of the podcast, but consider how fun it would be. Also, it doesn't mean that it wouldn't be scary, and the beloved characters would still be there.

So, once again - MAG is a podcast and should prooobably stay that way, but we could turn into arthouse or make a monster hunting show)))

Anyway I'm not a director or anything

[thelittlemermage]

Hey! Love your blog, by the way (been using it to keep up with 21st-century iteration mouse fandom stuff on the dl, ty). I just think that post the other day, the comment about 2010s PatB fandom, and this blog getting flagged for "adult content" are especially hilarious in light of early 1990s A!/PatB fandom, where you'd come across an FTP archive with a folder marked ksf_wiegnhosdgjn/ or something and it'd be filled just with hardcore, uh, "content for mature individuals" when you clicked on it.

No warnings or anything. LOL. Newsgroups, irc, BBS, Mailing Lists, it was just a Wild West everywhere. I mean like, before the sign that can't stop meme DW from Arthur because she can't read was even put up. No pretense of the Internet being kid-friendly.

I'm putting this in two asks, really sorry about that!

Lemme just smoosh these together haha

Thank youuu 🙏 I'm glad you've been enjoying it lol. If you want to watch modern patb fandom crash and burn in real time you can go into my patb ask tags and work backward lmao. Tho idk if I recommend it. I also don't even know if I agree with half the things I've ever said anymore. But it is kind of a dumpster fire and I love those. And yes, the timing of me saying that and then my whole blog getting flagged did not escape me. It's funny but also 😭. I had to wonder if it was some malicious reporting because I pissed someone off, but it's equally possible it's because I had just tried to upload a Solar Opposites clip of a funny joke and it got flagged lol. But I don't know...why that would flag my whole blog. Rip.

LOL when the internet was that young I was also young. So I was never involved in ye old western cartoon usenet groups or anything v.v I think I started being online as a teenager and jumped right into anime fanpages and stuff, which were p similar I guess. Lmao "adults" for miles. I get so pissed at kids doing that now but I used to do that so much when I finally turned 18 it felt so weird being able to click a "I am 18 or older" button and have it be...true? lol But tbh I was mostly just reading fic, I wasn't actually interacting with people. Minors reading this, please don't actually go into 18+ groups and interact with other adults, I'm not condoning that lol. There's my disclaimer. But yea, it was definitely a "if I go out onto the open internet I will see some shit" vibe lol. Remember Limewire? It was "Well, I am either going to get the song this file is labeled as, an audio of Bill Clinton, or a graphic adult video clip. Guess I'll find out once it downloads." But yea, it does seem like now people are really concerned about what kind of content is public and it's prooobably because there are way more kids on the internet these days, like 2 year olds with ipads and they are not being monitored by their parents at all. Which is a little scary. Not really sure how to fix all that other than bringing back kid sites tbh. I don't think anyone under like...16 has any business being on websites like Twitter, but here we are.

[mallowstep]

Human Misty AU Reed AU

Feather, you have a tiny defender! I mean I know you have tons of defenders, but Reed really loves you too.

hell yeah she does!

she's obviously got a lot of defenders...but not everyone. i mean there's (grocery store), but tigerstar also had a lot of political support. like, there's...a very good subset of the town that thinks...

okay so it's really hard to argue "tigerstar was right" because well. feathertail is pretty much indisputable evidence. combine that with leopardstar's testimony, and the case for feathertail is pretty much sealed.

mistyfoot on the other hand is a much more polarizing topic. sorry babe. there's a reason they move into the city right after tigerstar. well, okay, part of why is because featherpaw is still going to the hospital a lot for follow-ups and etc., but part of it is because she doesn't want to be around that.

but.

pretty much everyone who knows feathertail is in support of her. for better or for worse, she makes a sympathetic picture. young, disabled, single mother of triplets? hard for people to hate.

anyway, more focused to the family:

yeah! reedpaw adores her. no one is going to talk shit about her around him. that's just mean and rude and wrong.

plus she gives good cuddles.

he's six years old, which means he's a big boy, which means he definitely doesn't sometimes have nightmares that means he wants to sleep with his mom.

(oh! also. so there's a lot of bedrooms in the house. sorry i can't do my uh. sorry i can't do ids rn. also sorry these are for my sake if you have qs let me know. not to scale, obviously.

the house is an open floor plan so some walls aren't actually walls sorry. again this was made so i didn't have to live with this in my head.

sorry most of them don't have bedroom designs. the nursery has a design but frogheart's room doesn't.

this is how i visualize it but i think the angle is wrong. like it should be flipped. also there's an unfinished portion to the basement. there's a door to it from the living room.)

anyway, i think what would happen is that either frogpaw and hawkpaw would share a bedroom or reedpaw would get either stonefur's office or bedroom.

admittedly, stonefur has an office because he works from home. it's not for nothing. also yes his couch has a pillow on it because that's where feathertail takes naps.

um. hold on a sec let me remember where i was going.

oh yeah reedpaw totally ends up in a lil pile between him and feathertail and mistyfoot.

right he adores feathertail and i don't know what tigerstar says but it's pretty damn cruel. prooobably well yeah. probably ableist comment.

(the scale of the kitchen is the most off because the table doesn't even go there but knowing where people sit was more importan to me. rotate it 90 degrees...counterclockwise. yeah. but anyway the whole house is built to b accessible. obvious it's two stories + finished basement which is pretty limiting for feathertail purposes, but if she's having a bad enough day she can't make it up stairs with help, it's probably best if she takes a day off from serious childcare.)

right so reedpaw is enraged. no one talks shit about feathertail.

(naturally feathertail's kids are pissed. they're just older, and have a better understanding of the situation. that said, if tigerstar ever looked like he was going to hurt reedpaw, none of them would hesitate to intervene.)
