Gifs are not mine

Characters Included: Simon 'Ghost' Riley, John 'Soap' Mactavish, Kyle 'Gaz' Garrick, Jonathan Price, Alejandro Vargas, Rodolfo 'Rudy' Parra

He doesn't really know what's your age but he doesn't underestimate you. Since your older than Price

On this mission you were sent you planned an other thing.

It was a stealth mission, but you got ambushed, you teamed up with Ghost for the time being.

You ran up to a window on the 2nd floor (3rd for the americas) of a building. "What are you planning to do?", "Just watch".

And with that you jumped down.

You jumped down on the enemie's shoulder, broke his shoulders, then used this moment to shoot all of them surrounding then you ripped the knife from the guy's hand and stab his neck with it, cutting in a straight line trough his artery.

Blood was everywhere, on your hand, on your thighs, your boots.

Then the enemy started to tilt from your weight as you got down.

And Ghost just watched this, he would have done this other wise but now he likes your ideas more.

Congrats, you got his respect for your ideas.

When he found out you're an demolitions expert, he knew he is lucky to meet your

You two were sent out on a mission to a lab in far Siberia, you had to sneak in, get the files and explode the building.

There were only stealth allowed so you had a plan, kill 2 enemy and wear their clothes, easy.

Except Soap didn't count on how much demolition you can make on 2 buildings.

He went on building A, and you went to B and C, he got the info, put down the bombs, and radioed you.

But you had other plans, you made gas grenades that contained magnesium and sulfur, and if magnesium is ignited it burns hotter that the sun. And Sulfur was used in old matches that used to explode. Overall the fractions of death.

So after you got the info and put down a bomb, you threw these grenades into the vents, everything I side the building had a glittery layer on them by the Mg (magnesium) .

You and Soap met up at the exfil point and there was nothing more than to send the buildings up above, so you did that.

First he exploded building A, it wasn't a really big blast but you could hear the fire eat up the desks, and everything flammable in there.

Then there went B and C, the explision had bright blue flames because of the burning magnesium and sulfur, it was beautiful.

Soap watched as you smiled at you "art" piece, he had to admit it it was one sight to see. But now, he had a fear of you, a fear in the back if his head that you could do so much more, and make more deadlier gas grenades

He was fond of you since you two understood eachother because of you ages,

he knew that you werent what you seemed because he arranged you here

It was a solo mission for you, but you had a camera on your helmet so he could see what you were doing

He was a bit terrified behind the screen, he never saw someone murder soldiers like this, it was a massacre

The mission went South and you basically had to kill every hostile (100 personnel)

But the twist was that you had 3 mags left, aprox 90 Bullets left (Choose your own gun)

So you went South too, one bullet-one head, you were giving out death to those hostiles like it was a peaceful airsoft match.

Then the Last 10 people, no ammo, face to face, with them having guns

But you had a knife, better that nothing eh?

You jumped onto the 1# guy, for Your luck he was big enough that he could cover you, you jumped and slashed his Neck and threw him onto his allies, -1

Then you sprinted to slash those 2 's neck that stuck under the Dead body -3

There was 7 left, they were in a bit of a shock due to your speed and power to throw a Man 150kg of pure muscle with accuracy

Not only they were suprised but John was suprised behind the screen too. He made the right choice with you.

The remaining 7 just started to shoot at you, you quickly got behind one of them, and broke their neck, then used their body as a shield, Nice! -4

Got onto the 5th person, you slipped into a crouch like position, made a ground with you left arm and kicked the guy in the Ribs, since you launched you entire anatomy at him a single kick, and his heart stopped :). -5

A half of them remained, they were still sooo sure that they can take you down, well no.

After the kick you Again used the Deadbody as a shield, stole his knife then you threw it into 6#'s solar plexus, you threw strong enough to Pierce the tac west, his clothes and his muscles in that area, drop dead, -6.

You decided you had enough showing off and you stole 6's gun, and just shot them up i ran out of ideas sorry

And there was Price again sitting at the desk as he watched all this in a 1st row seat, he really made the Best choice

He knew that you were authority when he saw you on base

He was lucky, that he got on your good side, you didn't scold him for his and Soap's shenanigans, instead you just laughed, maybe even joined if you found it good enough

You Got kidnapped on a Mission, and its been 1 week from it, the guys were back in the safe house making a Plan on getting you out, bit you had enough of being captive.

You were locked in the basement, and you Got the Plan to get out and destroy the building

So when the AQ soldier came in to interrogate you again, you knocked him out switched his clothes with yours and off you went, you knew it would be handy to learnedt arabic

Off you went, to search for C4's and alikes, and thee who seeketh thou shall find

You went to the basement and placed the bomba on the pillars, then you hade done this on every level, telling the AQ soldier that their boss wanted them in his "office"

Then you went around the whole site, the hangars, playing charges on the helis and the pillars, took a car and just drive out of the site

BOOM, all That could be heard, but if listened closely the screams of the AQ soldiers that burned to death, and the sound of falling building parts, the sound of the flames eating up anything fireable, as you watched the fire and the adrenaline started to get out of your system everything hurt,

You Got slapped by the reality that your knee was broken, your shoulder dislocated, your wrist broken, few Ribs broken and just a Lot of bruises and cuts that your torturer had bestoved upon you, you didnt kmow how the AQ didnt notice but you were glad

Of course the explosion wasnt excluded from the team's vision and hearing, espcially from gaz's he was absolutely amazed even though he just heard it, you alone exploded the whole site, probably with one foot in the grave from the week of pain.

You went away from the safe house in solo, of course shit went south and you got back to the safehouse, with half your body in the grave

You got atleast 5 stab wounds, 3 bullets in you, atleast 2 ribs broken, 2 of you fingers partially blown off, 2nd stage burns on your face, and partially blinded by a flash grenade because they thrown like 3 at you and a broken shoulder, yikes

Alejandro knew that you were older than him so he was a bit suprised that you still walked and was able to get yourself back to the safe house without dying ar further injuring yourself

Amd you got the whole job done like the whole mission, it costed a few things but it wouldnt be a bother anymore

After this Alejandro held you with deep respect because he knows for himself that he probably wouldnt be able to still treck back to the safehouse that was 5km away from the base you were attacking.

He started questioning in himself, if you could take this and still treck 5km then how much you can take, and what saddend him a little that to build up this much will and taking yourself back to safety, it must be often happening since you moved with no pained expression

Rudy knew that you were one dangerous fellow but he knew it more when he saw you run into a terrorist base alone to save him

He was projected cameras for him to see that nobody will come for his rescue, but there you were shooting up the building searching

Searching for him, he saw your face of concern and worry as you search for him

Eliminating guards, quickly, 4 and 5 at once to save him and you just kept running for him

You kept running so you could find him alive

He saw how easily you deleted 15 guards with just a single knife before you broke up the door of his cell and save him

When you entered his cell there you were, bloody, sweaty weary and searching for him

And you saw him, bloody and tired from torture so they could get information from him

-------

I'm sorry I ran out of ideas for Rudy's part

[ohbo-ohno]

Literal man hunt!!

Ghost and Soap who are protective of their land like they're Americans, literally guns everywhere and shooting anyone suspicious on sight because they have many enemies and a lot of people would love to kill them once they're retired.

But our girl literally just...got lost. She stumbled across their cabin like a baby deer because she is either got lost or was running from someone. It was the first time ever when Ghost missed a shot...and he is happy he did because now they have an adorable injured darling!!

Her leg is no good so they help her, get her treatment from a real doctor even but of course you have to stay with them, you're cold and hurt and delusional because you're their soulmate and their perfect little pet who can't even resist because they are providing food and shelter. Living cottagecore life with your two murderous husbands but you really don't want to be here.

And you want to ran away but you physically can't. Soap is constantly doting on poor us, supports us when we have to make food because they are horrible at it, Ghost is adoring the sight. Retirement is nice when you have a little pet near you.

Eventually they even force us help them with other victims!! Like cleaning the blood from Ghost and Soap in the shower, listen to their various hunting stories, hold the ammo for them once we can escort them in the forest.....the possibilities are endless. Other victims think we can help them, but we just cry and apologize over and over as Soap bashes their brains with an axe

being forced to help with their other victims... my guy you should read Brother by Ania Ahlborn, man is forced to help his serial killer family dispose of their victims

also below the cut i kinda barely touched on the concept you sent but it's so good and i had nothing to add im sorry :(

cw below for like... very light gore? description of murder fitting of a horror movie

wandering around lost through the woods and randomly getting fucking shot, only for someone to come running out of the trees and asking if you're ok??? has me going bonkers

also this is totally giving the most dangerous game so i present you: soap and ghost kidnap groups of people and hunt them for sport, but when you wake up they realize that they want you to stay alive. maybe soap pretends to be one of the victims, teams up with you to help you (help keep you alive) and herds you in the direction of their cabin without you knowing

you only realize what's going on when he slaughters another person, someone who wants to team up with you two. sure the way the new guy looked at you made you uncomfortable... but johnny split his head open with an axe when he reaches for you, splits him right down the middle and leaves you staring up at him, both of you covered in blood

and now what, right?

you learn you've been kidnapped to be prey in some sick bastard's idea of fun, and now the one man you thought might help you through this turns out to be that sick bastard?

and johnny's pretty pissed, he'd wanted to play along with you for a little longer :/ but that other motherfucker had forced his hand, had tried to touch you, and he couldn't just let that happen. and now you're screaming and crawling away from him, which is bullshit because he was literally protecting you

so now you've got pissy serial killer johnny, grabbing you by the elbow and dragging you behind him despite your best struggles, grunting and asking can you just fuckin' relax for a minute while you stare up at him like ?!?!!?!?!?!

anyway he drags you to where simon's been hunting the others, drops you at his feet and crosses his arms all angrily. ghost just raises an eyebrow, "i thought you wanted to play along with them this time?"

and johnny's pouty about it, damn near tapping his foot in complaint. "wanted to play along with her, but some bastard got touchy."

you manage to scramble away, get up and fucking sprint through the forest because oh my god the guy johnny took you to had a fucking crossbow, only to trip over a wire and end up locked in a net, six feet off the ground

and here comes johnny and ghost, sauntering out of the woods and looking up at you in the air. johnny laughs at you, and you're crying so hard you can hardly even see them

anyways, they leave you in the net while they deal with their other prey <3 come back for you at the end of the night and take you home with them

no fr no offence to bvb fans but you guys sound stupid asf like so many of you guys praised jude before for being nice to fans and charismatic he was legit loved unanimously when he left your club and there is no denying that.

now that he is at real madrid his whole personality is supposedly fake idk how smart you think he is to fake a personality for years but that shit is practically impossible. Its honestly sad that you guys equate some one that has charisma and is intellectual about football and how is it everyone around him says the same thing about him for years now like are they all faking it i’m confused

you guys are hiding behind what english media does and using it as ammo to hate on a 20 year old and it will always be weird asf. jude isn’t the one making the headlines and to be quite frank he deserves way more praise in my opinion coming to a club like real madrid and exceeding expectations like never before like you guys are faking reason to be mad like cause he didnt kiss up to reus and post like wtf not to mention reus didnt post jude when he left which is totally fine as people relationships are not always on socials.

nothing you guys say will justify the level of hate you people give him and don’t say he overrated because no one can tell me 5 players with a better season then him and all you people conveniently pretend that he isnt 20 comparing him with olders that have been established for many years.

on another note why do footballers have to play humble anyways is he not well within his rights to talk his shit. nothing i hate more than disingenuous people because every time that guy even makes jokes people are on his neck for weeks so his bad now for being professional

sorry for the rant but im not just talking about anon people online are really annoying about jude its getting scary.

DONT APOLOGIZE!! i literally agree with everything u said SPEAK UR TRUTH !!!

no really u just summed up everything i was thinking i love u for that 😭💘

the jude hate recently has been so fucking weird along with the saka hate it makes me SICK

I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT DRAGONS. I BARELY CAN DIFERENCE A NORMAL ONE FROM A NOT NORMAL ONE.

SO GIVE ONE OF MARGARINE

(i need material for what im gonna write)

Alright so to start off with dragon information!

These

Are your basic dragon builds,

And this,

Includes some of the more obscure and branching off kinds

I imagine Margarine's build is closer to a wyvern's, similar to Buttercream, however since I love the buggers, he's built like a stormcutter

These guys

Big and bulky, two sets of wings, and one very long tail with two sets of fins for balancing, one set at the base closer to the body, other set at the end of the tail

By regions, Margarine would be classified as a volcanic dragon, similarly to Pitaya and Snapdragon, however, if you want any kind of butter or butter substitute to be firm, it needs to be cold, meaning by logical choice, if Margarine wanted to be able to protect himself, he would need to be in a colder climate, he's meant to be a tundra dragon, and really so is Buttercream

Subsequently; here's a headcanon that Dragon!Margarine is intentionally in the dragon valley to make himself weaker and blend in better with cookie kind, if it's harder to him to enter his dragon form it's much easier to continue trying to pretend to be a normal cookie (think how Pitaya was forced into their cookie form due to being weaker because of their contract draining their power to keep up the false dragon, Dragon!Margarine is in a similar state intentionally)

And, rolling further with the thought that Margarine is a tundra dragon, like a fire or fire related element dragon, Margarine would have an elemental kind of breath, the ammo for that breath would be stored in a pouch in his throat, which almost means whatever it is he likely outright secretes it (aka produces it himself)

My first instinct is that his "ammo" is liquid nitrogen, however, this does make Dragon!Margarine slightly creepier because it means Margarine can't outright blast people with something like frost breath, it's either freezing cold suffocating mist spills from his mouth, or it's you get hit with liquid nitrogen, which would freeze you solid if you somehow dunked yourself into an entire tank of it (how you would do that is beyond me but I'm sure somebody has tried and died)

Continuing- like Buttercream, Margarine is absolutely covered in spined sails, these sails act akin to how an animal's fur acts, ignoring the part that they are caked with nerves If Margarine is spooked and reacts harshly, the sails on his back will shoot up like how a cat's fur raises when it arches it's back

He basically reacts like this

to stuff he doesn't like that particularly scares him in any way

This goes for showing aggression as well! However with aggression, alongside his back sails rising, his head sails will fan out and he'll often stand on his hind legs and spread out his wings, trying to make himself bigger even though he's already huge as is

As for more positive mannerisms, as I have already stated (and this goes for any dragons with wings (the longan equivalent is stamping their paws)), Margarine will flap his wings when he's happy, think like a butterfly flapping it's wings against a flower but like, sort of scrunched up bat wings (because if he spreads them out fully he'll cause a gust)

An unfortunate side effect is that this wing flapping can damage a dragon's wings if they're not careful, usual damage will only occur if they're beating harshly against a solid surface (subsequently aftercare of anything that involves margarine bottoming, checking his wings for damages is routine, just to be careful)

Now for the fun (and technically important) stuff :3

Mating stuff

General all around dragon mating stuff includes courting gestures

A dragon's primary courting gesture would be sharing their scales with their desired mate, most dragons are meticulous about the care of their bodies, as otherwise they won't be able to protect themselves or their mate, to boot a dragon's scales are their primary defense system, often being rock hard and able to take plenty of hits before they even scuff

Margarine, in comparison to most dragons however, since moving to the dragon valley has stopped caring for his body aside from the few times a week that he'll at least try to bathe

Let's take Pitaya for an example! Pitaya's scales are thick and hide-like, rock solid and shiny, obviously cared for! Margarine's scales on the other hand, while still thick and hide-like, are softer, malleable, and matt unless they're of course wet, due to a mix of his choice to live in a climate he's considerably weaker in, a climate he's not built for, and his lack of care for them

This tidbit of information is a tiny bit angsty but- though Margarine intentionally made the choice to live in the dragon valley, the state of his scales still leaves him unimpressed with them, and subsequently, he wouldn't willingly give Marshy any of his scales, at least not yet, give him some time and move them both into the village Cotton is from and he'll happily give her his scales, but where he's at right now? If anything his scales drop his mood severely, it's kind of like how most social species of animals will get sad and depressed if they're alone, the less care a dragon shows their scales, the more depressed they get, and trying to help a dragon care for their scales gets you mate points <3

Anyway back to the actually fun stuff!

Instincts

As you are already way, how I see dragons their instincts are very strong, and they come with silly little mating marks to boot! Focusing on the instincts, as you can guess there are different kinds of instincts, there's the instincts that beat Margarine to pulp half the time, which are usually a mix of general mating and specifically breeding instincts

The dragon half of Margarine's brain registers Marshy as not only a good lover but it registers that she would make a good mother as well, unfortunately dragon mating tends to be very rough, so they have to be careful doing anything with non-dragons, this leaves Margarine at a dilemma with his instincts most of the time

While yes, Margarine would love nothing more than to listen to his mind, he is well aware that Marshy is not ready, mentally or physically, for anything his instincts want, because half of his instincts are screaming "she's literally perfect i swear to god at least MARK HER before someone else tries to take her" and the other half is screaming "BREED HER BREED HER BREED HER BREED HER-", and some other part of his instincts is mindlessly rambling about how perfect she is for everything he needs and wants and basically worshipping her (remember all those dragon tongue quotes? yeah that's these instincts)

Now as for the mating marks~ y'know the insignia Pitaya has fastened to their cloak in their disguise sprites? Dragon mate marks are built quite similarly, each dragon gets a specific mark they cause by biting their mate's nape, of which it's shape and appearance will match that of the dragon's (for example, Lotus's being a lotus flower, and Ananas's being shaped like a gemstone), Margarine's in specific would tie into the fact that he's actually a tundra dragon!

Erogenous zones on dragons

Every dragon is specific in it's own right with things like erogenous zones, buuuut, as we've already seen with Margarine, his sails, especially along his back and around his face, are his primary erogenous zones

Playing with his tail or wings is effective at getting him horny, however just playing with his sails will have him whimpering and whining if you know what you're doing, which I can imagine Marshy fully unintentionally doing, which to Margarine's dismay only increases the "ough perfect wife" instincts

Alright I think that's good enough for the moment, as I am falling asleep writing this and I wanna go take a nap *wheeze* enjoy your read mi amiga

The Rose reaper and her shining dork knight: Ruby's birthday present (NSFW)

(Another name is also. "Jaune loses his rights to his butt cheeks and pelvis")

(this is it. This is where y'all get what I've been leading to. I hope you perverts enjoy. But seriously I'm going to regret making this but damnit I've hinted they'll fuck might aswell keep letting the venom bite into me.)

Jaune gulped softly as he was arguing with himself on whether this was really a good idea. He found himself wrapped in gift wrapping paper as a large orange bow. He was bound and completely helpless and for some reason.. BOY WAS HE TURNED ALL THE WAY ON! He waited in his and ruby bedroom as he waited for his rose reaper to appear and probably do some very... Inappropriate and VERY provocative things to his man buns.

Suddenly the door opened as Ruby looked around the house in a panic.

Ruby: jaune! Jaune where are you?! I got your texts-

Jaune: i-i'm in the room rubes!

Ruby walked in and saw him as he had a nervous grin on his face.

Jaune: h-happy 20th birthday rubes.. i-i hope you like your present-

Ruby: jaune.. this is sweet and all but um... I was expecting something like a new type of dust ammo. But-

Jaune: you hate it don't you. Ah you hate it

Jaune sat down on the bed and looked down ashamed.

Jaune: I should have just gotten that new dust ammo.. maybe even a ticket to the hall of huntsmen-

Ruby: jaune!

Jaune looked at Ruby as he finally noticed the rather red face she had as she began taking off her gear before only being in her dress and cloak. She walked up to him and sat on his lap as she looked him in the eyes.

Ruby: I don't hate the gift. Infact I love it, it's just in most of the.... Filth I MAY have borrowed from Blake. All of the guys were the ones to pick up the female leads and well...

Jaune: proceed to rock their world? Wait did you just admit you read Blake stash of por-

Ruby: ah stop stop! Let's not bring up my degeneracy.. I don't need yang giving me "the talk" after so long.. point Is, I was expecting something a little more rough and gruff out of you-

Jaune: ruby you know Im not like that-

Ruby: I KNOW! I know.. and I'll be honest, Im glad you aren't a jerk whose obsessed with being ontop.. makes things more... Soft. Now as to what I wanna do with this new gift~

Jaunes face went red as he gulped before ruby grabbed the wrapping paper before petal Bursting around him ripping the paper off before jaune was bare and ruby sat on his lap again as she looked at him with a stare of lust only Nora could match when her and Ren did it.

Ruby kissed him deeply and held him close as jaune was trying to kiss back but felt overwhelmed as his "little mors" rose..

(ok can we just say dick?! It's not a Christian site just say dick and pussy! .... Because we'll get strike down? Fine we'll go to censorship!)

Ruby just smiled as she snake her hand to beneath her and soon she raised her self up and sat on his little mors. Jaune immediately let out a soft moan as Ruby began bouncing on him as she panted softly. She began speeding up as she kissed him deeply forcing open his mouth and wrapping her tongue around hers before jaune put his hands on her hips before flipping them over as jaune began thrusting as both him and Ruby moaned into the kiss as ruby wrap her legs around his hips as he goes faster.

Ruby pulled away and looked at him as she whispered into his ear.

Ruby: I thought you weren't rough and gruff?~

Jaune: i-i'm not- WOAH!

Suddenly ruby flipped them over and was now riding him rapidly as rose petals began to fall from her cloak as she went even faster as jaune moaned more as he already felt his body began tingling as his climax was reaching.

Jaune: r-ruby, i-i'm-

Ruby: good! Now give me it jaune!~ give me my big white sticky present!~

Jaune: r-ruby?!-

Ruby: GIVE ME THAT FAT ARC LOAD HONEY~

Suddenly ruby stopped as jaune threw his head back and MOANED out Ruby's name as he began pumping his "fertilizer" into Ruby as she shivered vigorously with her clutching her shoulders and grinning as she did.

Ruby: o-oh that's it~ h-happy b-birthday to me~

Jaune soon stood pumping his fertilizer as he panted heavily before ruby slumped onto his chest as the twos exhausted pants synchronized as they just looked at each other.

Jaune: it's... It's gonna be a while before I might have that amount again... S-so.. how was your first time?

Ruby: it felt good~ but I know this'll only get better.. but now it's cuddle time.

Jaune: agreed..

Jaune wrapped his arms around her waist and soon the two fell asleep as they would later discover they both sprained their pelvis. So having to explain that to Ruby's family was... "Fun"

(and I think that's where I want to call this story in. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed writing this series but I think I'm kind of done. I was originally planning the surprise to be a final battle between ruby and jaune vs a new Grimm that was made to specifically fuck with their heads. But eh. Hope you all enjoyed this run I've had. Now to vanish into the night! mwahahahahaha!)

(but seriously I need to shower because I feel like FILTH)

:3 Any class (and subclass) headcanons/ideas/theories for Lark? Vaguely related, I can't stop thinking about the fact the he just whistled up a fucking portal last episode?????

i have always assumed lark was a ranger, which is one reason why i was so flabbergasted by grant being the kiddads' ranger. i still think he should be a ranger, a horizon walker ranger specifically, even if it would be dumb and unbalanced for them to have two rangers. literally it makes the most sense. lark is the most ranger guy ever. however, i already made a full post about ranger subclasses for grant, including the reasoning for horizon walker that also applies to lark (namely what you said - WHISTLING TO SUMMON A PORTAL? HORIZON WALKER TYPE SHIT.) SO i will delve into some different ideas instead

if he's not a ranger, then i would guess that he is a fighter, battle master subclass, or a rogue, assassin subclass, with likelihood (in my opinion!) being in that order. thats the tldr. heres the long version LOL:

fighter - fighters are known for being able to wield a wide array of weapons, which makes sense for lark, since he is such a doomsday prepper. he would want to be able to use any weapon he got his hands on. also, indomitable fits lark really well in my opinion. if we wanna talk gear, i'd probably give him chainmail (flavored as bullet-proof vest), two martial weapons (two daggers), a light crossbow and 20 bolts (flavored as a pistol and ammo), and the pack i'm not sure on. i dont think im gonna do gear on every single class but its just part of being a fighter to me to consider that-- subclass wise, we have a few options, listed in order of most to least likely (subjective.)

battle master - the most likely one to me, though now that sparrow seems to be set up as more of the leader than lark, that might change (though i do think that maybe sparrow just takes the head in talking since he's more. uh. sociable than everyone else rn LOL). given how much enemies monologue in dndads, 'know your enemy' would be a super useful skill, and i think if he was spec'd out similar to gerard from neverafter (mostly in the ability to grant other players extra attacks), this would make a lot of sense for him.

champion - listing this because on a meta-level, its extremely easy to play, which makes it an easy pick for anthony. however, i dont think it fits him character-wise because lark would never heal himself LMAO though, to be fair, i dont think the kiddads will ever level up that high

arcane archer - not the best subclass, but very cool to me, and fitting for how all of the kiddads are gun-heavy. banishing arrow would be super useful and fit the general theme of planes and dimensions.

eldritch knight - not as likely, but i think it would be sooo so cool for lark, especially if the eldritch part came from his connection to the doodler. ohhh the drama of gaining power from the eldritch being you swore to eradicate… plus, we get LARK CASTING MAGIC, even if its not as powerful as anything his family can do! so cool!!! this subclass isnt as good for range, but i could see anthony allowing war magic to apply to ranged weapons rather than just blades for the cool factor.

samurai - in general, this subclass is not lark. however, i wanted to mention it because i think their 18th level ability 'strength before death' specifically is very lark. basically, if you get knocked down to zero HP, you can use a reaction to get an entire turn and then you go into death saves. theoretically, you could use this to heal, but its lark - he absolutely would use it to go down swinging.

rogue - other people have made this point for me, but rogues are good for guns if you flavor hand crossbows as such. i actually dont really like rogue for lark, but i dont have a reason why LOL it just doesnt really? do it for me. however, i agree that its likely to fit due to what we know about lark, so i will play my own personal devil's advocate here. i think it makes sense for lark to be the sneaky attacker while the others draw most of the attention, especially since it seems like there would be three magic users (terry jr, nicky, and sparrow) in the group. magic can be used sneakily, but im sure nicky and sparrow at least would lean towards showiness, lol. plus, i think it would be really interesting to flavor 'slippery mind' as like, lark growing a resistance to the doodler after so many years under its influence! once again, subclasses are listed most likely to least likely.

assassin - this works from both an in-character and a meta standpoint, and from what i've seen, this is what people mean when they say lark should be a rogue. its an easy subclass to play, so its good for an NPC. character-wise, with lark's extreme paranoia, it makes sense that lark would spend time studying how to most efficiently kill people. he doesn't want to risk anyone in a drawn-out fight, he's not grant. he just wants things dead as fast as possible.

scout - am i just saying this one is likely being its the ranger-flavored rogue subclass? maybe. but like liSTEN LARK SHOULD BE A RANGER HE IS LITERALLY A RANGER HE IS-

phantom - not very likely, but SEVERELY COOL from a character standpoint. walk with me here. phantom is a rogue subclass where you talk to the dead, but imagine that reflavored as lark being able to talk to like, eldritch beings, even beyond the doodler? or like, maybe the spirits of those killed and used by the doodler? holy SHIT!! it would be COOL.

unfortunately none of this has an explanation on lark whistling a portal Which Is Why He Is A Horiz- [shot] im guessing he has a magical item tho!!!

bro id love to hear agent 4 hcs

real name is naoki masuda, but im sure some of the people reading this know that already

good at the piano, but doesn’t play it anymore for some reason

was a scholar, and while she studied endlessly, she saw turf wars and stuff on tv and was hooked almost immediately

uses a keyboard (musical, not computer) in lieu of a piano.

a bit of a tortured artist. when she didn't have anything else to do she was trying her damndest to make music to the point where she lost sleep over it

subconsciously prioritized work over everything else and never felt like she was good enough for the same reason she stopped playing piano

spoke to basically no one when she first moved to inkopolis

took the train there and fell asleep. the only reason she didn’t miss her stop is because someone (read: this guy) woke her up

jack of most trades when it comes to weapons, but is especially good w/ any dualies, regardless of fire rate

not at all photogenic. almost all pictures from this time period (and even after it) have her expressionlessly staring into the camera, and she was only there because she kind of had to be

went into a tourney with black v-neck tee guy and their team got 2nd place. there was a celebratory photo taken where the rest of the team is celebrating normally and she's on the far left holding a silver trophy with an arm and giving a thumbs up while staring into the camera with a blank face

self-concious, cannot take a compliment to save her life

the only reason she took up salmon run as a job was to pay rent. if the pay wasn't as good she would've been doing turf as a part time job

was originally weirded out by 3 and 8 but warmed up to them eventually

sprained her ankle about a week after they moved in because she overworked herself trying to get all the hero replicas, and she still tried to make music with this injury

three and four took care of her, something she wasn't really a fan of. ('you guys are wasting your time' was her reasoning)

tired. just in general

moved with the gang to splatsville and got handed old 3's agent gear when she got promoted to captain

she wasn't doing too great in turf war after this, so she went to grizzco. with 3 away doing captain stuff and 8 away working at ammo knights, she felt lonely, and a certain bear statue made her feel like she had a consistently present friend.

after getting saved from a certain predicament and seeing people care about her and take care of her even though she tried to kill the new recruit, she realized that she mattered and she deserved to feel like she did.

she has a few issues still, but most of them are behind her now.

[rakkikuroba]

Some of the hardest boss in RE in my opinion and my experience.

No note for Neil or Alex because I struggled more with Pedro that with them lol

12. Mr X. I was too horny to really concentrate on the fight.

11. Lisa Trevor. Giving Barry his gun back for her to just punch him out of the platform made me so fucking angry. Also the Tyrant killed him during the last fight when I was trying to keep everyone alive :)))

10. 20h of gameplay to spent 10min on the last bad guy?? i didn’t like RE4. And I certainly didn’t like the fight against Saddler.

9. Wesker. I have something like 10 tries and 5 of them are me trying to figure out how im supposed to kill the fuckers while struggling with keeping ammos. Sheva was really fucking useless.

8. Jack Norman. Jack is in this because he is honestly the most fucked up BOWs bro could teleport and make illusion of him. Overall it’s was pattern recognition (thx autism) that beat his ass. Also he is terrifying? And Chris was absolutely useless.

7. The Haos. I didn’t have bullet anymore so I would wait for Piers to attack for me. It was long because the bot in RE6 are useless and they kept not healing me while standing right next to me?? And the Haos’s kind of the only memorable boss in RE6 because Piers dies right after :(

6. Jack Krauser this time. (To explain i played the og) COULDN’T THEY TELL ME SOONER I NEED TO USE MY KNIFE??? Leon went kaboom so much because of this

5. Nemesis. Not even going to specify which fight. The two last one. Carlos was useless "Careful more zombies coming" I KNOW IT’S THE 6TH TIME YOURE TELLING ME I CAN’T SHOOT NEMESIS WHEN HES RUNNING ON FUCKING WALL. And i couldn’t figure out how to shoot bro with the big gun.

4. Excella and the cadavers. GUESS WHO ALSO WAS USELESS DURING THIS FIGHT?? SHEVA!! (At least she helped with Jill because i just shot Jill without thinking lol.

3. William but only with Leon (?). Like i spent so long trying to correctly shoot him without him throwing shit at me and with Claire I did it in under 10min??? Then he beat my ass again in Darkside Chronicles. I didn’t feel very sad for him very long…

2. Alexia. Alexia is a pain in the ass. And a naked one. Im at the very end, I have 10 ammos left, Claire’s mourning, my health bar is red. And you’re in a very small space AGAIN. She sends little insects that one-shotted me and then when you finished phase 1 you get phase 2 where she fucking flies and you have to shoot her except she flies and dodges and sends fireball. Almost rage quit (then 5min after Chris get his ass whooped by Wesker)

Special mention for Pedro, ily you’re not on this list because i didn’t beat you with Claire the first time i played lol.

For the fat T-Abyss zombies. You were a pain in the ass because you could one shot me (the most annoying part was the hundred of other zombies who kept spawning)

Not special mention for Simmons. Because you just couldn’t take a hint and kept coming back in another animal, lion, t-rex, fly??? Not even the same animals group?? I can’t remember who else i fought in Re6 because it wasn’t rememberable.

For the little guy in re4, can’t remember his name. Annoying but kinda cathartic ?

And for the OG tyrant, eat shit. But good job killing Wesker lol

Who else did we fight? Do we fight a boss in RE0? I don’t think we did? I mean the plant but not really we exploded it. The plant? I can’t remember the name of the guy im too tired it will come back tomorrow.

1. THE FUCKING TYRANT IN CODE VERONICA. MY SWORN ENEMY. THE VIDEO GAME ENEMY I PROBABLY SPENT THE MOST TIME TRYING TO BEAT. Im not even kidding it took me 3 days to beat his ass. I was in tears when i finally pushed his ass out of my plane. He’s the fucker i don’t want to see in the Remake lol.

[superjumpintomyheart]

So i know i already did a question but you responded so good tho the last one and i can't resist so what would Splatoon 1 squidbeak splatoon think about the new Splatoon 3 (especially about octavio and lots of octos being part of it)

Sorry if it's so long🥲

im curious to know if you mean the new squidbeak splatoon from splat 1 (consisting of cap'n cuttlefish, agent 3, callie, and marie) or the original squidbeak splatoon so I'll give you my thoughts for both!

splat 1's NSS wouldn't feel too different I don't think, Cuttlefish is the one who would have to adjust the most since hes old and very clearly is still a little stuck in the old ways of the world, so the addition of octolings would throw him off. Especially if this is pre-final boss fight when the calamari inkantation is played to the octarians, since that was when the movement of octolings reintegrating into inkling society started, and in the octo expansion cuttlefish is only fine with octolings if they've shown to be fans of the inkantation ("no fan of the inkantation is a foe of mine, i don't see species.") but I honestly think three, callie, and marie don't really care about octolings joining the NSS. they're all young and don't really get the whole great turf war ideology anymore so why would there really be a problem with having octolings on the team?

However having OCTAVIO join them even just temporarily for the splat 3 final boss,,,, I think they would all be apprehensive about that. past agent three would be like "so I fought this guy for him to just join the good side in the end? i did this for nothing???"

Past Callie and Marie would be confused as to why he's helping them, again if this is pre-final boss they wouldn't understand his reasoning for wanting to help, and of course this is pre splat 2 so the callie kidnapping incident hasn't happened yet. basically what I'm trying to say is past callie and marie don't understand why octavio is here in splat 3.

As for the original Squidbeak Splatoon, again Cuttlefish would be shocked as to why the "enemy" is a part of the NSS when the reason for the SS existing was to fight the octarians. The other members of the original SS are Shellendorf, who is related to Sheldon of Ammo Knights, Judd the cat, and two unnamed inklings. Shellendorf we don't really know much about, his backstory isn't really revealed to us so I'm not sure how he would feel seeing the NSS be so diverse. I think he might have been a more peaceful minded guy so perhaps he would see the unity between species as a good thing? who knows! Judd was also suspected to only be a part of the SS because he liked to judge things, he didn't really serve a purpose on the team besides... idk being a cat? sleeping? making biscuits?? so I don't think he really cares At All about the inkling vs octoling thing.

Overall the theme is really just seeing how a person changes overtime, cuttlefish went from being the captain of a team who fought against the octarians to a kind old man who is starting to accept the world for how it has changed. and he himself has changed too, he doesn't think all octolings are the enemy anymore, he even has befriended some and worked with them. Octavio went from being a controlling dictator to a shameful outcast who regrets the pain he caused from trying to prove octarians were the superior society. Agent 3 went from being a rookie teenage turf war battler to Captain 3 of the NSS who has the most experience on the team and is crazy good at what they do.

Everyone has experienced change in some way, and if their past selves met their future selves, they wouldn't understand why things turned out the way they did because they haven't lived through that experience yet. They might even think "there's no way I'll turn out like that" until they go through something that makes them see things from another perspective, and it changes their mind. there's a reason why the NSS doesn't look the same as the original SS did, different people have different skill sets that are useful to the team and the type of threats they experience in modern day are different than those of the great turf war's time. as society changes and evolves, so must the New Squidbeak Splatoon.

[hellostarfleet]

hello i finished new vegas

wall of text thoughts. under read more bc sooooo many.

was kind of wishing by the end i'd known how much the game rewards rly picking and choosing what to make your stats... i didn't really appreciate this until i went from like 45 in energy weapons like this feels fine to 75 and was like I AM A PLASMA GOD!!!! so noted for next run (i did end with 100 in science and energy weapons I GOTTA be nosy and hack every terminal i see. or my courier will die.)

rly thought this about hour 5 but i wasn't expecting the legion to be so cartoonishly evil actually i knew they were bad but like. lol. CMON GUYS PUT SOMETHING BACK ON THE SHELF FOR OTHER BAD GUY FACTIONS... instead of the vipers/jackals/powder gangers/fiends just kind of being. free karma estate. (in retrospect i don't rly understand the point of karma as a system because after like level 5 i never even dipped to neutral karma. my courier was an angel. an angel who stole every cap, stimpak, box of ammo, and piece of scrap metal she could find from everyone and anyone in the greater mojave area. and killed. SO MANY PEOPLE.)

was kind of expecting the hoover dam battle to be like... bigger???? like just having more guys around. more chaotic. actually have a reason to go down into the hoover dam sublevels that they. built and modeled but i had no plot reason to go into and did wander into the first time i was there (mostly i was like "how much does this look like the real hoover dam" and then realized i don't really remember enough about the particulars of the interior to judge that kdjhdkdhdkj).

also maybe im just too much of a bioware kid but i also think it was kinda weird to not have all the little guys you recruited there but shrug. (also i wanted to see the superfortress. WHERE IS IT) anyway i did independent ending bc OBVIOUSLY the ncr has problems and OBVIOUSLY my courier could do better. i mean she has already almost single handedly solved every personnel and supply chain issue the NCR was having. she will definitely TOTALLYYYY set up some sort of council of local factions as soon as she's done having some portion of the securitrons clean up all the fucking rubble laying around in freeside bc it's bothering me. WHY HASN'T ANYONE EVER SO MUCH AS SWEPT MCCARRAN AIRPORT TERMINAL. i bet everyone would be slightly less miserable if you could walk down the street without the threat of tripping on rubble and impaling yourself on rebar. sorry what. you want local governance. citizen. pick up that can. then we'll talk.

anyway idk handwaving not storming through the legate's camp to the main part of the fort to get caesar with the securitrons was kind of weird. i wanna kill. which means i also apparently i missed my chance in life to kill vulpes. SAD. but i got to order yes man to throw a guy off the hoover dam. AND HE DID. so that ruled. (the duality of courier: last week she saved your president from assassination. this week she went hmm. i see. and tossed your top general off a dam.) also im sure yes man installing some updates to become more assertive will definitely not cause any issues. it's fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine!!

ANYWAY despite all that i had a good time as evidenced by finishing it in the time i did oops. i had a good time. i actually didn't realize this game had a companion system i just thought it had a collection of pathetic men. which it does. but also i love having companions (although did get kind of tripped up on only being allowed to have one humanoid companion and one ed-e/rex. it was always ed-e btw bc rex was like continually under my feet im sorry boy.) i also travelled with boone for like 20 hours so it took me a while to realize like any other companion talks a lot more since im pretty sure stringing more than 3-5 words together causes him physical pain. i love that there's a scene for if you do give veronica a dress!!! i am still thinking about how hard arcade dissed me the first time i asked if he wanted to travel with my courier!!!!! i also asked if it could wait when i got his quest and he was like no actually im gonna keep talking and like. lmao. STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT THE ENCLAVE DOES I FEEL LIKE THE ANSWER IS JUST "GO PLAY FALLOUT 3"??? kind of like how visiting jacobstown was just "go play fallout 1 & or 2"

misc briefer thoughts ig:

WHY IS THERE A SNOWGLOBE IN SARAH'S VAULT 21 ROOM. HASN'T SHE LOST ENOUGH TO MR. HOUSE. i did not sell this snowglobe. please clap bc $$$.

loved exploring the vaults in that i hated exploring the vaults man. i think vault 11 wins for most fucked up and vault 34 wins for most times i thought "i fucking hate this" while i was there (but that's a personal problem bc feral ghouls. ueueuueueueueueue cries in a corner while arcade and ed-e shoot everything. nice moral dilemma at the end though. i saved the groundwater but oof. oughf.)

why do the options with dealing with the great khans suck so much lmaooo.... shoving ncr soldiers up against the wall for being like HA we showed theM CHASED THEM RIGHT OUT!! like girl no i told them to leave bc UR COMMANDING OFFICER SAID SHE'D USE THEM FOR CANON FODDER IF THEY ALLIED WITH THE NCR

also honestly same for all the dialogue about neslon bc sorry WHOOOOO kicked the legion out. bc it wasn't you guys it was boone and i doing a sidequest and then just going fuck it kill them all actually -

ok but speaking of NCR guys sorry to the misfits bc i did not have enough explosives to teach u how to explosives and then u all deserted and were hung. skill issue but sorry but skill issue -

because i had done all the vaults i. did finish most of the brotherhood quests ig and honestly was probably going to leave them alone except then i triggered veronica's quest and they wiped out that followers station so. hot take maybe you guys shouldn't have had like three terminals of kill everyone dead. also maybe don't preface yay we can leave again with thoughts on going at it with the ncr again imMEDIATELY what is wrong with you guys.

i feel like some other run im gonna go all in on punching and sneaking that sounds fun. or lead pipe run. i hope primm appreciated me liberating their big hotel in town and didn't think too hard about the piles of guys beat to death with a lead pipe.

the powder gangers and guys in vault 19 rly didn't do anything to me but if it will get me better epilogue slides. well i did get this gauss rifle too late in the game to really use it (ENERGY WEAPON SNIPER RIFLE. IDEAL WEAPON!!!)

i can't believe i have to pay $5 to experience mormons. actually is it even specifically mormon bible thumping or am i just assuming bc it's utah. anyway im gonna do it. but. lmao. (i was also surprised how much man on fire stuff was mentioned in the game proper since it is apparently dlc.)

is the ideal dlc order release order btw

[midknitefox]

does fallout 4 do the same thing as skyrim where if your companions inventory is full you can make them pick stuff up and it'll still work

I dont actually know

Hancock though is now carrying two miniguns (Ashmaker and Junkie's) and a fat man. and I think he has 2 rocket launchers for some reason? not sure.

-----

I'm so glad I have NO AMMO.

I'm out of 10mm, .44, and the only weapon I can use rn is basically my deathclaw hand

which isn't bad but it's up close and personal . in a gun fight.

I have a shit ton of .38 and .45 (755 and 489 respectively) but no guns for those :/

and now that I think about it I'm out of ammo for both my flamer and cryo thing so idk why I'm carrying them wtf

-----

unrelated but I watched the show the other day. so good.

genuinely it felt more like the game than anything else I've watched

like . tlou was good. but it didn't feel like the game. fo felt like the game. there were moments that were just. perfect.

random radaways around, the time slowing down slightly in battle feeling like vats, so good

ok rant over (I would love to rant about it more if anyone wants to chat I'm lacking people to talk about it with other than my mother and that's kinda sad)

-----

I had to step back from a fight due to low hp and Hancock walked up next to me and destroyed them with the minigun I gave him

........I don't have enough ammo for this like genuinely

[ithisatanytime]

everyone is talking about how ugly basically EVERYONE in the apple river stabbing trial is from victims to witnesses all of them are just ugly as shit. and the second thing they notice is virtually every "white" person has a jewish last name. what gives?

look man, lets say i was right and jews did take over and their number one enemy is white guys, just rhetorically ok, what would be the first thing you would do to white dudes to make it so they wouldnt be an effective threat anymore, but you have to do it somewhat subtley you cant openly attack white men violently what do you do first? i would simply make it so they couldnt work lol, cant breed that way, cant afford guns or ammo or food or vehicles, no logistics for war, thats what i would literally do first.

and thats what happened. these were mostly college kids on spring break, people whos families have money, white people arent really a part of that crowd anymore only "white" people. everywhere you go, the employees are often VISIBLE literally retarded, in grocery stores everywhere, im in a small white town and there is a... i dont know how to put this, you know how theres like gay guys who have to tell you they are gay and you are like "oh matt thats cool man i dont care" before you ghost them and then some gay guys are like so physically gnarled by their gayness somehow it effects how they stand and walk and makes them lumpy somehow (am i crazy? anyone else see this?) those guys are working everywhere. everything is just ugly and retarded as shit as a result i miss beautiful white people working cash registers at least while there young IM SORRY OK!

[littlemiss101]

fo76 thoughts so far

i like that i can play with friends/party up with people! definitely the main draw of the game is being able to inflict my fallout interest on people- plus with having my friend @peachieblvd be the party leader it's very much a "my friend plays fallout while i hang out and shoot guys"

additionally having peach around is very nice because i have someone to give all my legendary melee weapons to and he gives me all of her ammo lolol

i think it's cool that i can enter buildings/cutscenes/ect as a member of peach's party- i don't make decisions or interact with people, peach does that, i just hang out and listen in and can make witty comments. it's like being a companion!

i DON'T like that if peach and i have the same quest, one of us doing it as the party leader and the other person doing it as a follower only completes it for the party leader. so unless i want to do everything twice i'm stuck with my quest markers on the tutorial shit

really dislike that playing on a private server is something that you have to pay for

the building system is... fine. i'm not sure how raiding/ect would work (not high enough level to turn pvp on lol) but i don't like that you have to find/unlock recipes for fairly basic stuff in the world rather than through perks/leveling.

the CAMP system is cool, being able to build a player base wherever is cool, i hope they make it an option in fo5 (the finger on the monkeys paw curls inwards) but it's really the only thing 76 has over 4 re: building

don't like the perk system. stop making shit card games and weird skill trees give me back the new vegas/fo3 era perks pls

the scorched are an interesting enemy, even though so far they pretty much read as "feral ghouls but they can shoot you", im interested to find out more

fast travel costing caps sux

i especially don't like the perks thing. like, fallout 3/new vegas have a pretty excellent perks system even when you take fo3's karma requirements into consideration, fo4's is ehh but accessible enough and a clear part of the adaption was them being like "wahoo no level cap", but 76's is clunky and it feels like they're honestly feels SUPER counterintuitive to your average fallout fan's understanding of the SPECIAL system. i already didn't love fo4's hardlining of perks into specific SPECIAL categories, but having perks be something you can switch in/out makes it feel way less like an important character decision that you have to weigh up

ultimately i don't love it and probably won't invest any significant time into playing solo but it's nice to have something i can play with friends. i hope bethany esda gives us a co op mode in fo5

    The Grinder Experience

** DISCLAIMER this blog features topics words and language that may not be suitable for under 18s adult supervision advised.**

Hey boos…  so, this was meant to be a sort of lighthearted look into the world of using Grinder and other dating apps. but recently I’ve been hit with a reminder to why so many people like myself find it hard to find dates, or struggle with there mental health…

Before we get into that let me explain Grinder! I’ve been on grinder on and off for quite a number of years now in that time I’ve made 2 friends and had to block at least 200 people…. so why is this? Well in general My experience with grinder had been full of fake profiles creepy old guys and people who want to blind date apparently. ( There profile has NO photos and they then send a dick pic as an opening… ew.) It’s an extremely frustrating app trying to find someone close by and who is genuine. (I’m also very fussy. so that doesn’t help me personally) Though on occasion there are some lovely people who pop up who just want to chat or leave a really nice complement even though they know they aren’t what I’m looking for.  But for the most half I’m bombarded with messages such as ( And these are genuine messages) “ Fuck me ur hot I’d deffo smash ur tight little pussy” “come sit on daddys lap baby ill show you a good time” or my personal dis-favorite “Wow your hot Ide deffo bend you over with my hand on your throat and fill you up with my cum then eat your ass out you want that baby “ Safe to say anyone who sends me those as opening lines get blocked instantly like WHY would you send messages like that sometimes accompanied with the worst dick pics I’ve ever seen as an opening WHO IS THIS WORKING ON! Its so distasteful and disrespectful and makes the App a vile place to be.

Before I move on to the competitors (Tinder POF Hinge and Badoo ) lets address my biggest issue with dating apps, Mainly Grinder and why this isn’t the light hearted look I wanted it to be.

You see, I identify as a “Trans woman” as this is easier to explain my situation (Please read my previous Blog “Me and Him” for more..) This can give some people easy ammo to use if I ignore them or simply don’t reply and delete there messages, it seems if you don’t reply they take it as I must try again and again and each time get a little bit more ruder, in the past I’ve been called all sorts and perhaps there is another blog in there somewhere about that, But just today as I write this post I was on grinder checking my messages and I received a message from a guy I simply didn’t reply too from 2 days ago, - I’ve been busy!  So his simple way of getting my attention and ending our chat was this. again, this Is a genuine message “ You are an arrogant man” now, Those who know me know I simply do not and will not accept any slander like this aimed at me or to anyone I know that said this hit me hard I’m already struggling with my MH at the moment although I don’t talk about it, so this comment has sent me into a spiral.  I AM NOT A MAN. IM NOT MANLY IM NOT A CROSSDRESER I AM NOT A TRANSVESTITE I AM A WOMAN.  I do constantly worry that I don’t look beautiful or feminine enough something that’s led me to hide away at home rather than go out shopping this week or do something I wanted to do which was write up some blogs in a coffee shop for a change of scene. I’ve been unable to be free due to my own thoughts getting to me so when I received this message I just wanted to try and scream at them Ironically I did reply with “WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME” and before I had a chance to get a reply or block them they had blocked me, so I guess I won without trying but this isn’t the first comment of this type I’ve got on this app, And although its slowed down a lot it still happens and it’s really not right in this day an age..

It’s only fair I now delve into the other apps I use So how do the other apps compare with grinder?

-Tinder … YAWN… same type of “Fuck boys” over and over I’m tired of swiping left! But those who I have matched with seem genuine with only one “Bott” now and again but they are so easy to figure out and block it doesn’t affect the overall experience of swiping left.. 3/10

-Badoo …. Notification central… and my god it’s a bit weird it had the same features as tinder with more options to see people and chat or send likes on their photos, but it just seems a little confusing like do people see the likes or what?? You also can’t message unless you match so what’s the point of being able to see them off the swipe feature?  So far seem like lots of genuine people on there and although I don’t think I’ll find Mr/Mrs/Them/There Right I think it’s a great place to make friends. BUT MY GOD ARE THE NOTIFICATIONS ANNOYING!  1/10

-  POF… Perhaps the most legendary app who hasn’t been on it right! Well, it seems to have died off almost completely, The old features I once enjoyed are gone, and the profiles seem to be people who forgot to delete them! shame as it could be good but they ruined it ,  1/10

- Hinge … well they say in there marketing it’s the app designed to be deleted.  YES it sure is get it in the bin its awful. You get like 5 likes a day.  There is so many tabs at the bottom that seem to do nothing to help you find someone it really is crap. 0/10 would not recommend.

And as for grinder….. Well, what can I say, its got me some attention and I’ve met up with one bad person. (currently writing that blog but its very hard to write.)  but also met up with a handful of respectable people I’ve had fun with. It’s not an app I want to use. But at the same time where would I be without it, I check it daily and nothing ever changes, 5/10 for me…  

With all of this said I am still trying to find genuine people to date but I’m so exhausted with it all. And must add that if I get ANY messages from people on grinder that do not match what I’m looking for to save the hassle of potential spam/ Hate messages I do block them straight away… maybe one day ill find an app that works or who knows meet someone who makes me want to never use them again!

Thanks for reading boos be great to know what you think of my blogs and what you experiences on apps have been I’ve been Katie-Mae Ellis and this has been a Kates adventures blog.
