" Now look who's all by his lonesome! "

Kaeya grins at the stranger who's settled himself in a corner, content to read his book despite the not-so-peaceful-quiet of the tavern's patio. But then Kaeya notices the headphones the stranger dons; a blink, once, twice, and he taps the side of his head, mimicking the position of the earpieces, as if to ask if he's currently being tuned out.

And then, whether he is or isn't, he points upwards -- stares, for a beat, until he's certain the other has noticed the mistletoe above them too.

There's a half-hearted shrug (mostly because one hand holds a very precious goblet of wine he cares not to spill) as if to say it can't be helped, you know.

" But don't worry-- " Kaeya promises, elbows pressing onto the table for support. " I'll hardly disturb you. "

And he actually keeps to his word -- Alhaitham doesn't even have to put down his book, because Kaeya just presses a kiss on the hand holding up whatever esoteric novel he's indulging himself in. Something on Deshret, Kaeya vaguely notes.

His eye crinkles as he peeks over the cover of the book, and when he pulls back, the rest of his expression looks just as playfully smug. As if he's actually accomplished something here.

" Thank you for sharing the moment, friend ~! " And with that, Kaeya turns on his heel, offering little more than a wave over his shoulder as he disappears into the crowd again.

HIII i absolutely adore your outlast trials headcanons, they're so silly and accurate .. if u don't mind, could you maybe do one of the prime assets going to the movie theater? that'd be so funny

Took a little break to give my brain more time to soak in the outlast bathtub, but I'm back with more silly.

COYLE

- He wouldn't take his sunglasses off for the movie I'm saying this right now. It could be a 3D movie and he'd just put the glasses over top of his own.

- Kinda guy to get a hotdog at the movies instead of just popcorn. Then he complains about the price to the underage cashier.

- He likes to watch cop and action movies, imagines himself being the protagonist through the whole movie. He wishes he was that cool.

- Leaves popcorn on the floor and his empty cup in the cup holder because "it's their job to clean it up".

- Would try to steal snacks that Gooseberry brought in. She was gonna share them anyway but if he's gonna be like that he can starve.

- Shushes anybody who even breathes too loud when the movie is going. He is Locked In and if you distract him he's going to kick your ass.

- Due to being this locked in, he will hold his piss for however long the movie is. He's not missing a second of this, he'll piss himself if he has to.

- Does not care what seat he actually bought, he's gonna sit where he likes and you're gonna deal with it. Dick.

- Would try to smoke a cigarette inside of the theater and have to be escorted out. Would not go quietly.

- Does not stay to see if there's anything after the credits, misses out every time. It's not that he doesn't know, he doesn't believe that there's actually anything to see.

MOTHER GOOSEBERRY

- Brings a purse full of snacks with her. She is unwilling to spend 20 dollars on a little bit of candy. Still gets popcorn though, nobody can resist movie theater popcorn.

- Futterman wants to watch gorey horror movies while she wants to watch romcoms or just comedies in general.

- Futterman will complain through the whole movie if he's forced to watch a romcom. And he's loud about it too, the other movie goers would complain, but... that goose is scary.

- If he got his wish and they're watching a horror movie, he's cheering when characters die. Fuck the protagonists he's here for BLOOD.

- Futterman also complains about her snack choices. Candy? SUGAR? Think of the cavities, Phyllis!!

- She doesn't talk during movies but she is the one softly gasping whenever something like a plot twist happens.

- Futterman is face down in the popcorn bucket just munching away. He's gonna need a bath (read: get dunked in the sink) when they get home.

- Futterman would crack shitty jokes during quiet parts. Don't laugh it'll only encourage him to do it again.

- Phyllis is also a "hold it until the movie is over" kinda person but only because Futterman throws a fit if he misses out on parts. That's if they're watching a horror movie, if it's a romcom he's begging her to leave lol.

- Refills her popcorn before she leaves and brings it home with her.

FRANCO

- He actually can't eat popcorn bc the kernels get stuck in his teeth and it's uncomfortable :(

- Instead of eating popcorn, he's scarfing down candy. He strikes me as a gummy kind of guy.

- Gooseberry is actively rushing him past the snacks and candy bc he WILL try to buy 8 different kinds of candy and end up spending 60 dollars. He has the money but he does NOT need to experience a sugar rush halfway through a movie.

- He'd also go for horror movies, but also mafia/mob movies. Would shout at the screen about inaccuracies.

- Out of all of the assets, he's the one talking during the movie. He has a hard time sitting still and he's not completely paying attention and he wants Gooseberry to tell him what he missed. Coyle is shushing him the whole time.

- Despite being the one that keeps yapping, he'll kick the back of someone else's seat if he thinks they're talking too loud.

- Also leaves a mess of candy wrappers and spilled drinks, just like Coyle. He just doesn't care tbh.

- Gets up 9 separate times to use the bathroom, has to step in front of Coyle each time to get out of the row. They're gonna kill each other after the movie.

- If somebody else tries to step over his legs to get out of the row, he'd trip them. The menace.

- Gooseberry is clapping her hand over his eyes if there's any nudity and he is FIGHTING to move her hand away. Let him see!!

I would watch a movie with Phyllis and only Phyllis everyone else can wait in the car (sorry Franco)

𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹-𝟭𝟴-(The Fox's wedding)

Words:2212

Moze appeared suddenly, his sharp gaze cutting through the tension like a knife. His presence brought a cold chill as he stepped closer, his eyes narrowing at the scene in front of him—your tear-streaked face, the manic look in your eyes, and Jiaoqiu, holding you tightly. You felt exposed, vulnerable, so you scrambled to put on your mask, quickly hiding the remnants of your emotional breakdown behind a cold, detached facade.

Without missing a beat, you straightened yourself, forcing your voice into an icy tone. "Let's go. We've wasted enough time," you said, your voice hollow and devoid of any emotion. Moze raised an eyebrow, momentarily taken aback by your sudden shift. Even he, with his vast knowledge of human behavior, seemed unsure of what had just happened.

Jiaoqiu stood silently, watching you with a deep intensity. His eyes followed your every move, searching for a crack in the cold mask you wore. He looked like he wanted to say something, to reach out, but the moment had passed. You were distant again, a ghost of the person you had been just moments before.

"It's time to leave," Jiaoqiu finally said, his voice strained, though he tried to hide it. Moze gave a short nod, casting one last confused glance between the two of you before he led the way.

The three of you walked through the busy streets, the atmosphere felt heavier. You continued your act, speaking in clipped, emotionless tones. You cracked twisted jokes and feigned indifference, pushing Jiaoqiu's buttons at every opportunity. But he didn't respond with anger or annoyance. Instead, he kept staring at you, a silent plea in his eyes, hoping for some sign that the cold mask was just an act.

Moze remained quiet, observing from the sidelines, though he could tell something was off. His instinct, honed from years of working in the shadows, told him that whatever had just happened between you and Jiaoqiu was far more complicated than it appeared.

"Acting messed up won't get you anywhere," Jiaoqiu muttered quietly as the group walked ahead. You shot him a sharp glance, but he didn't elaborate. His eyes never left you, filled with a mix of concern, confusion, and something deeper that you didn't want to acknowledge.

You scoffed, keeping up the twisted front. "You think you understand me, Jiaoqiu? You don't know anything," you said with a cold smirk, though your heart felt heavier with each word. 

Even if it hurt. Even if it was killing you.

Timeskip

"Speaking of which, why hasn't she arrived yet? They say the Merlin's Claw strikes like lightning. Being late isn't her style..." a familiar voice rang out. You knew this voice, but couldn't quite place it.

"That's not true, General Huaiyan. She's been here for a while now, but I'm sure you've heard of her... unbridled nature," Jiaoqiu responded, clearly answering the general's curiosity before it could fully form into a question.

"As soon as she disembarked from the star skiff, she mentioned having something to attend to and disappeared," Moze added, his tone more matter-of-fact.

"Miss Feixiao's a silly goose when she's on duty. You don't have to worry," you chimed in from behind your mask, your voice dripping with smugness.

General Huaiyan raised an eyebrow, turning toward your direction. "You must be the messengers from the Xianzhou Yaoqing, I assume... And you are?" His gaze lingered on you, his curiosity piqued as he tried to make out who hid behind the mask.

You met his gaze, your expression unreadable under the mask's fox-like design. Despite the years, his appearance hadn't changed—Jing Yuan still looked as composed and formidable as ever. His long white hair, tied back with a red ribbon, golden eyes sharp as ever, and that same mole under his left eye. He wore his armor like it was second nature, his golden plates reflecting the light, with his lion Snowmoon no doubt nearby.

Jing Yuan's eyes stayed on you, alert and calculating. "A kitsune mask?" General Huaiyan asked, breaking the silence, curiosity flickering in his gaze.

Before you could respond, Jiaoqiu quickly stepped in. "This is my wife," he said smoothly, his hand moving protectively to your arm. "She wanted to join me. She... ran away from her home, and I decided to marry her for her sake." His voice had a calm confidence, but there was a hint of urgency, as if hoping his words would satisfy their questioning gaze.

Jing Yuan's sharp eyes didn't waver, but he remained silent, his expression unreadable. General Huaiyan, on the other hand, looked momentarily satisfied, though intrigue still danced in his eyes.

Jing Yuan's expression darkened as he spoke, his voice cold and measured. "I've always wanted to behead another kitsune girl who once came to Luofu," he said, his golden eyes locking onto you with a sharp, almost predatory glare.

You could feel his gaze piercing through you, a palpable tension in the air. Calmly, you lifted your mask and met his cold stare with a wicked smile. "Yes, such an evil woman should have been beheaded," you replied with a dark chuckle. "But it's a shame... her curse could kill the one she's bonded with."

Your eyes darted toward Jiaoqiu, making it clear who you meant, though Jiaoqiu was oblivious to the exchange, distracted by his conversation with Moze. The implication hung heavy in the air, though. Jing Yuan's jaw tightened, his gaze narrowing as if he were piecing something together.

General Huaiyan, standing nearby, noticed the tension. "Jing Yuan... do you know her?" he asked, his tone filled with curiosity and a hint of suspicion.

Jing Yuan's eyes flicked back to yours, as if seeing through your mask of deceit. His lips curled into a tight, bitter smile. "No," he said, his voice low and dangerously calm. "I don't."

But his gaze betrayed the truth. He knew exactly who you were. 

Jing Yuan's eyes locked onto you, his golden irises shimmering with a strange intensity, as if he had seen a ghost. The cold detachment in his gaze flickered for a brief moment, betraying a deeper recognition. He tried to mask it, but you saw it—the brief flash of something unsettled in his calm demeanor.

You tilted your head, smirking wickedly. Then, in a mocking gesture, you playfully placed your hand over your neck, as if holding it to keep your head in place. "Careful, General," you teased darkly, your voice dripping with false amusement. "Wouldn't want to lose my head over a silly misunderstanding."

Jing Yuan's jaw clenched, the tension thickening between you. He didn't respond, but his expression hardened, his eyes never leaving yours. You could feel the weight of his thoughts pressing against the air, unspoken words left to hang between you both. His earlier joke about beheading you now felt like something far more sinister.

General Huaiyan, sensing the undercurrent of hostility, shifted uncomfortably, casting a glance between you and Jing Yuan. "Jing Yuan?" he asked cautiously, trying to break the heavy silence. "Are you alright?"

Jing Yuan didn't immediately respond, still staring at you with that same haunted look, as if he couldn't quite shake the ghost of his own past. Finally, he tore his gaze away and let out a slow breath. "I'm fine," he muttered, though his voice was tight with control. "Just... old memories."

You chuckled softly, lowering your hand from your neck, thoroughly enjoying the effect you had on him. "Old memories have a way of haunting us, don't they?" you purred, your words laced with a venomous sweetness.

Jiaoqiu, still oblivious to the tension, glanced over with a bemused look. "What's so funny?" he asked, looking between you and the generals.

You shot him a sly smile, still feeling the eyes of Jing Yuan burning into you. "Nothing," you said smoothly, sliding your mask back into place. "Just reminiscing about the past..."

"Now this is interesting," General Huaiyan mused with an amused smirk. "A guest who doesn't even bother to visit, but sends a message instead. Tell me, what could possibly be more important to her than showing up in person?"

Jiaoqiu responded casually, his tone light as he answered, "Master heard about a spectacular view at Scale Gorge Waterscape. I believe she went there to... enjoy the scenery."

"A spectacular view, you say?" General Huaiyan's brow lifted as he glanced at Jing Yuan with a mocking chuckle. "Did you hear that? This person must be sarcastic."

"How is this sarcasm, old man?" you interrupted smoothly, masking the rising sadness in your chest with an air of nonchalance. "The view really is breathtaking. I had a Foxian friend who used to follow me around... and a dragon companion too. We'd hang out there. It's truly beautiful..." Your voice trailed off for a moment, but you managed to keep the melancholy well-hidden beneath your smile.

General Huaiyan eyed you curiously, but before he could speak, Jiaoqiu stepped in once more. "Please, don't misunderstand me, General Huaiyan," he said, maintaining his poker face. "I was merely stating the facts. Master thought it would be improper to keep you waiting. So she sent us ahead. Once she's finished admiring the scenery, she will personally come and apologize to both of you."

Jiaoqiu and Moze made their farewells, preparing to leave. Jiaoqiu reached out to catch your hand, but you pulled away sharply, not wanting his touch. Jing Yuan's commanding voice cut through the tension. "Please, stay. I need to speak with you."

General Huaiyan nodded, stepping outside as instructed, leaving you alone with Jing Yuan. The room's atmosphere grew heavy as you met his gaze with a cold, unwavering stare, a mix of defiance and weariness in your eyes. You felt a deep frustration, thinking how ironic it was that he might only threaten you instead of offering the resolution you longed for.

Jing Yuan's voice was stern as he began, "How do you live with yourself after having killed an entire village? How do you continue after causing so much suffering to another man?"

His words cut through you, but you tried to maintain your composure. "Adoring," you said softly, almost to yourself. "It's not like the Jing Yuan who used to sneak in during Jingliu's training just to steal my sweets. You were kind then, but now you judge me so harshly."

You walked over to him and handed him a letter. "In this letter, Jingliu wrote about the tragic fate of a kitsune who lived before her Mara struck. It was me who took it to keep others from knowing what truly happened."

As you turned to leave, you added with a quiet, somber tone, "I always cared for all of you, for all ... for our old friends." Your voice broke slightly, revealing the depth of your pain. You didn't wait for his response; instead, you walked away, feeling each step weighed down by the hurt and betrayal that had defined your past.

Jing Yuan's eyes followed you, the weight of his unspoken regrets clear as he read the letter. His thoughts were interrupted by your departing words, which echoed with an anguish that mirrored your own.

You muttered to yourself, your voice barely audible, "Why did I survive through all that suffering, just to be seen as a traitor? Why do I live while others suffered?" Your questions remained unanswered.

Moze mentioned he would be leaving for a while, and with that, he took his leave, leaving you and Jiaoqiu alone. 

Upon returning, Jiaoqiu looked at you with a blend of concern and desire, asking if you'd like to wander around. You were too numb to respond clearly, your eyes showing a depth of pain as you nodded.

Jiaoqiu, sensing something off, gently but firmly took hold of your head, pulling you close. You felt too weak to protest, your mind clouded with tormenting questions and emotions. Suddenly, he enveloped you in a warm embrace, his arms providing a fleeting sense of comfort.

"What's wrong?" he asked softly, his voice laced with concern.

You looked up at him, your gaze twisted and pained. A twisted, broken laugh escaped your lips as you responded, "Kill me, over and over....."

Jiaoqiu's eyes darkened with a mix of desire and frustration. He cupped your face in his hands and pressed his lips against yours in a feverish, almost desperate kiss. The kiss was intense and hungry, a primal need to silence you, to claim you in this moment of chaos. His lips moved passionately against yours, and his tongue sought to dominate, drawing out the lust that had been simmering between you both.

He pulled back just enough to speak, his breath mingling with yours. "Be quiet. Just wait," he murmured, his voice husky and laden with an unspoken promise.

Before you could fully process his words, he kissed you again, more fiercely this time. He guided you into a nearby dark alleyway, the shadows embracing you both. In the dim light, the kiss continued, fervent and insatiable. Your hands clung to him, pulling him closer, your body pressed against his in an urgent need for his touch.

Every kiss was a blend of desperation and longing, as if you were starved for his affection and touch. You let out soft, needy moans into his mouth, your heart racing with each heated embrace.

Got two ideas for this idea of suspense...because I can see both shadow milk and royal margarine buuuut I'll just ask for the royal margarine version later...

Imagine shadow milk with a Lee who can't handle suspense....like would they do the slow descending tickly hands to drive their Lee insane? Like their little Lee wiggling around as they helplessly watch the hands slowly get closer and closer...and closer. And to make matters worse, they are air sensitive so the closer the hands are, the louder they giggle lol!

Order up! Get y’all’s food!

Shadow Milk Cookie, what is there that you couldn’t say? He’s a twisted, blue jester that feeds off of others; whether that’s through their laughter or their suffering. In your case it was, unfortunately, both.

“EEEEKKK! NO! NO, PLEASE NO!” You squealed, trying to squirm out of the restraints they placed you in; Shadow Milk Cookie shook his head and chuckled in response, “Goodness, Y/N Cookie! I’m not even touching you!”, he wiggled his fingers just above you to prove his point. He always did this, he just had to constantly tease you to keep the suspense as thick as heavy cream. “Stop it! Stop doing that!” You shouted, still desperate to get away, “Doing what?” They asked with a smirk on their face as their hands inched closer and closer, their fingers wiggling like serpents. You screamed at the top of your lungs, already laughing in spite of not being touched quite yet. Your face was completely scarlet and beads of sweat formed everywhere on your body, meanwhile the Beast laughed at you. Shadow Milk Cookie continued his air-strike, his hands moving vigorously while staying just above the skin; goosebumps formed everywhere as you squirmed and squealed like a child, your pleads for mercy becoming nothing but gibberish that not even you yourself understood.

“Hehehe! Not touching you, not touching you!” They taunted, keeping their hands and wriggling fingers mere inches away from your stomach. You could do nothing but squirm in the hopes of escaping, laughing so much that you were about to run out of breath. Eventually, after what felt like hours, his hands finally rose back up and he stopped toying with you; you breathed heavily as you looked up at him.

“Why? Why would you do that?” You asked, blinking some tears of laughter out of your eyes. “Do what?” Replied the jester, his grin started to grow wider, “I didn’t even touch you, you silly goose!” He chuckled. His heterochromatic eyes flicked up and down for a second, he chuckled to himself as he started the process again, his hands would slowly descend but never touch you. It drive you insane, and they knew that, and boy did they love that. The rest of that day was a complete blur, almost all of what you can remember is that horrible voice constantly going “Not touching you! Not touching you!”.

End of fic

Sorry if this is a bit short, but either way I hope y’all enjoyed this. I’m starting to get more comfortable writing tickle fics, so I’m hoping that I can start to improve! Have a good one 🫶

Jax might be one of the creators?

I could be totally off base here but here's some thoughts I've been having

Our first introduction to Jax outside of his place in the intro is him asking Caine "Is this one of your NPCs, or is this a new sucker? Because if it's a new character, we're going to have to redo this whole theme song."

Now first off, since as far as we and assumably the characters know, Caine is an autonomous AI, the question of 'Is this one of your NPCs?' especially in the way it's said strikes me as if there's an oddly familiar relationship between the pair. If Jax did create Caine and this game his particular flavour of befuddlement at Caine's possible NPC generation would make more sense IMO.

Secondly, Jax seems weirdly invested in the theme song's completion? He doesn't seem annoyed they have to do it in general like Zooble, just that they have to do it AGAIN.

Moving away from this initial moment, he's also the one to suggest the adventure for Pomni. While he's annoyed with what the Gloinks end up being, he again isn't annoyed by the adventures themselves like Zooble, which you'd kind of assume a character like him might be, but if he was the one to set up the idea as the game's developer it makes some amount of sense he'd be amused by these antics because he made it like that to some extent, and he does seem to have fun on the adventures once they get into it as well.

Then there's of course him having keys to everywhere when Ragatha suggests he literally shouldn't be able to do that. Silly joke that the asshole character can do basically whatever he wants? Probably, but it could also be hold over from his abilities as the game's developer.

He's also easily the calmest and most put-together character of the cast, going with the flow of everything and having no real urgency to do anything but enjoy the ride and watch the other characters suffer at Caine's unintentional hands.

Somebody else also noted that Jax is weirdly upset about abstracted Kaufmo being put in the cellar. This could either imply they were friends, or that Jax has a personal grievance with what happens to abstracted people. If we assume it's the latter for the sake of this theory, I can imagine it would be pretty frustrating to have your playerbase go through this game-breaking bug and the only way to 'fix' it is just to sweep it under the rug.

Another thing that could easily be a throwaway but for the sake of this theory is Jax' last line in the pilot "Sheesh, lay off it, since when are you an expert on the digital world?" would also make sense if he's the actual creator of said digital world, it would be a personal offence to suggest Kinger knew more.

On top of everything, if we assume that Jax is telling the truth about having been there for years, that implies some interesting things. We know from Goose's Q&As/Tumblr/Twitter that Jax is the youngest member of the cast, being only 22, along with Zooble.

But Zooble is also the most recent character to join the circus before Pomni, while we don't know exactly how long before, it at least exempts them from the weirdness that this timeline creates in terms of Jax.

If Jax was stuck here for any more than 4 years, he wouldn't have even been an adult yet, which seems pretty suspicious given the ages of everyone else when they presumably would've gotten stuck in the program.

Of course headset aside we don't actually know the circumstances of how anyone else got stuck in the game or for how long, but it does give me pause to consider that detail about Jax.

So ultimately I could see it being revealed later down the line that Jax was some kind of tech revolution prodigy who created Caine and this world, but being young as he was had no real idea of the ramifications of what he created or ultimately how to manage it. I have no clue how he got trapped, or ultimately if he even is, but that's theorizing for when we hopefully have more to work with.

Regardless, take all this with a grain of salt, I fully recognize all of this could just be connections I'm making of nothing, but it's something that's been plaguing my mind and I'd be remissed if I just let it sit and never put it out there if it did end up being true in the end.

Hope you guys enjoy my massive overanalysis of Jax' actions in the pilot and hopefully we get to see more from this gang in like 3-6 months' time.

Hehehe I’m gonna cook hold on -feral anon

—

It’s been a few days and Graves is still being an ass to everyone (especially ghost). He refuses to talk to anyone and shuts himself in his room and sulks whenever he has free time.

This goes on for another day until late at night, a persistent knocking is heard. Graves tried to ignore it but it won’t stop. He grits his teeth and marches over to the door. Throwing it open

“The hell do you want at this hou-“

His words become lost as he looks at the culprit behind the knocking. Ghost.

Ghost just stares, taking a deep hard look at Phil. It’s in a way that makes Phil feel exposed and naked…but he’s frozen in place, unable to move or look away. He shrinks when Ghost’s eyes lock with his own.

The look he’s given makes him feel very small. His breathe hitches and he finds himself fighting back tears. Ghost’s eyes soften just a touch, he reaches over and grabs Phil by the wrist.

“On me, Graves.”

Phil is helpless as he tugged out of his room by Ghost, the fuzziness is coming back and it’s coming hard. Something about the way Ghost is acting is making him drop hard.

He doesn’t even realise they are inside Price’s office until Phil notices ghost heading towards the dreaded rocking chair, the subject and cause of all this

“W-Wait! What are you doing!”

Graves is trying to dig his heels in but Ghost just huffs, turns back around and scoops a protesting Phil up into his arms. Ghost then sits down in the rocker, plopping Phil in his lap similar to how Baba cuddles him. He coaxes Philip’s head into his chest, his hand brushing at the unkempt blonde curls. All the fight Philip has left immediately leaves his body. He finally lets the fuzziness take over and sniffles

“Knew it was about this bloody chair.” Ghost snorts to himself, not in a cruel way. But in an understanding manner “it’s pretty good, huh? Makes you feel really small.” All Phil can do is nod, slipping two fingers into his mouth. His wide, glassy eyes stare up at Ghost, bewildered. Ghost stares back, his usual dead stare is now soft and filled with empathy towards Graves

“I know how hard it is to ask for help.” Simon confesses “I still struggle with it…but, we���re here for you, okay? No need to be an as-“ Simon clears just throat “no need to be…a silly goose over it, yeah?”

Phil nods softly and squirms in Simon’s lap. He nuzzles ghost’s neck “sowwy…”

“Water off a duck’s back, mate. Jus’ try open up to your Dada ‘bout your feelings, okay? It’s not good for you to bottle such big emotions up for so long”

Phil whines but nods in understanding, nosing Ghost’s balaclava.

“Good lad.” Ghost praised, patting the little’s thigh. For now, he’d keep this interaction a secret for Grave’s sake(even if it meant breaking the ‘no lying to baba’ rule…he knows he’s already going to be in trouble for breaking into Price’s office after hours anyway).

But he would make an effort to encourage Philip to be more honest. He knew more than anyone how Philip was feeling and he’d do anything he could to help Philip accept not himself but accept love from others.

Once again, perceptive Ghost strikes again

ANON BACK AT IT AGAIN WITH PERFECTION

YES.YES.YES.YES.

I feel like that's one thing Price could brush off, even if Phil would probably get a stern talking to about how he treated Ghost. Then Price would probably talk to Roach about his behavior too

But I get the thought that keeping Graves' regression a safe space means no punishments (at least while little). He's from the south, I've seen a trend of southern parents being... Hard for lack of better words (speaking a lil from experience)

The fact that Ghost is so aware that he realizes why Phil's acting the way he is 😭

Hudson and Rex S06E02 - The Good, The Bad, and The Rex - Part C

(no bullet points, this is one giant bullet point lol)

Okay, first of all, Joe, this is the first time Sarah does something to "hone up her resume" as you stated and you worry about it. She's been doing that a lot, you just noticed now? I mean, Behavioral Science PhD kinda seems like an extension to her profiling courses in S4 even. (I also need to stick Behavioral Science to my forehead because I can never remember what she was studying for. I'll code it as, BAU position. I think I'll remember that.)

Second, I'd like to address how that storyline really went nowhere. And I'd like to address it now before I forget because they also forget about it after a few episodes or it only appears as a convenient excuse for her absence, which would make sense if she was actually absent in certain episodes, but she wasn't. They could still pick it up again this season, who knows. There was no apparent reason, though. We didn't see Sarah's new skills being used, we saw her maybe once (in S06E05) doing some kind of assessment that could indeed be due to her current studies. And this not the show that will plant things to be used on the next season.

They planted a seed that didn't cause friction in her relationship with Charlie either, which could have been something to do, especially considering that he could make some sort of parallel in his head with his ex-wife who, if I recall, had announced to him that she was going back to school at some point. To be honest, I wasn't worried about their relationship and I'd given like 90-95% chance that they were together and the show was being stupid with writing and/or episode order.

If Charlie and Sarah had been awkward with each other when they interacted, then I'd have worried about a possible off-screen break-up, but they were acting like pre-S5 stage. When you split up, you don't go back to being flirty. Just the previous scene seemed kinda flirty to me, as was the scene at the house. So my assumption had been lik, lol they "forgot" that they're together (but also not lol because I was annoyed). Which obviously isn't possible because you just can't do that.

In my mind, I'd thought that maybe they were trying to tone it down with the Charah scenes to appease a certain part of the audience. Later, that didn't prove to be completely accurate. I think that the writers made the conscious decision that the honeymoon phase was over and there wasn't a reason to set up as many scenes about their relationship as in S5 as it wasn't a new relationship anymore, even in S5 they'd established that by the end it, more than a year had passed. Instead, I think we did get fewer but meaningful scenes along the way, and that the show did what it did in many of its seasons, meaning they were struggling to strike a balance between Charlie and Rex's partnership, cases, teamwork, Charah, all those elements that a new showrunner comes and tinkers with. Not always successfully.

Another thing about this season was that the episodes were fewer than S5, so it would stand to reason that there wouldn't be as many Charah scenes as in S6. But even if someone was to somehow calculate them as a percentage in each season, there's no denying that S6's percentage of Charah scenes would be less.

Anyway, having said all that (and that is a lot), there are Charah scenes that I'm looking forward to rewatching in S6. And to get back to the scene, Sarah's answer to Joe's worry is completely reassuring, and it really gives off the vibe that the writers also wanted to assure the audience that she's not going anywhere. Just like this plot.

"Joe, you silly goose." (literally what her reaction seems to me)

Shoes inside the house AND on the furniture? Is this the same man who doesn't allow Rex to get on the bed?

Look, I don't need Charlie and Sarah attached at the hip, but having him seem so... alone in the house, and the house seeming way more unwelcoming than last season was... a choice. I don't think the fans' worry was completely unwarranted at this point. And if Charlie was supposed to be missing Sarah because she was at work or studying in her own house, they should have pointed that.

"When are we going for a ride?"

I don't understand Rex's excitement about Charlie's bike since I don't think that Rex will be on it. I assume this scene is to remind us that Charlie is a biker because later he'll have to get on a bike.

Charlie: "Don't get me started."

Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Don't listen to the haters, Sarah. They don't like flavor, apparently (and some all of a sudden).

Oh, you LIAR! I've got tons of proof!

Um, question. What happens to Rex if Charlie crashes the car? Shouldn't he be, like, tied to something? Doggie seat belt?

lol what?

That drive where everything's so foggy and you can't see the road reminds me of when I was playing Colin McRae rally games. They'd have all kinds of bad weather. I, of course, crashed the car any way imaginable.

Can dogs get carsick? (very important question lol)

We are not on Fast and Furious, Jesse! And there are like a million turns on the road.

Goodness. Look at that. Amazing.

More weirdness. Sarah is asking like she hasn't seen the thing in, like, at least days if not more. Rex lets out a small bark as if to say "poorly", and Sarah smiles. Light teasing, yes, but other than that, I don't get the point of showing that Sarah very obviously hasn't been over to Charlie's in days.

Weirdly placed slow motion sequences return.

Or what? You can't shoot in front of that many bystanders. Or generally shoot. They aren't raising any weapons.

No. Who would have thought we'd end up on a bike?

In case anyone needs a biker!Charlie close-up.

In case anyone needs a "Charlie taking off his bike helmet" shot.

That's a really cool bike, though. I like the color of the tire rims.

To be continued on Part D.

If Hare had Cinderella's life, how would it go for him and would Tiger of the wind be his prince charming? A TigerxHare question.

Heya! This is an interesting question! I honestly haven’t watched Cinderella in about two decades, so I apologize in advanced for my lack of knowledge as I try to make my way through this from memory! XD

So if we’re looking at Cinderella with Monster Rancher characters, I guess we’d see Hare’s father marry the cruel stepmother, Lilim, and would live the next so many years as pretty much a servant after his father’s death. Hare, being smarter than his two new jackass step siblings, Gali and Naga, would find ways to not only make cleaning more efficient, but to also make money on the side. Instead of mice for friends he’d have Suezo and Mocchi, two monsters who secretly freeload off the family and help Hare with chores (as long as they get fed XD).

One day a huge ball is announced and Hare wants to go, but is told he can only go if he gets his own clothes. After giving Mocchi some candy and Suezo some porn, the two monsters sew together an awesome suit just for Hare. The day of the ball, however, Hare’s step siblings destroy his suit, leaving him completely devastated.

Suddenly, a super magical light appears and a hooded figure appears before him. It’s Holly, his fairy godmother, and she’s gonna help him out. Yay! She transforms Suezo and Mocchi into horses, a pumpkin into a carriage, and creates a gorgeous dress just for Hare. Confused, Hare asks Holly why a dress and not a tuxedo, and she just shrugs. He then asks why give him glass slippers since they’re terrible for posture, which Holly just shrugs again. So! Before he leaves, Holly gives Hare a warning that all this magic will end at midnight and to beat feet before that happens. Hare thanks his fairy godmother and takes off in the carriage toward the castle, leaving Holly to feel a little sad she wasn’t invited.

At the castle, Prince Tiger sits in boredom with his dad, King Golem, and the Grand Duke, Genki. Genki threw the ball together so Tiger would finally stop being a closet otaku and meet someone, but Tiger just wants to go to bed. Golem, who is so proud his son is growing up, can’t help but give Tiger a rib crushing hug every few minutes, much to the wolf monster’s dismay.

Suddenly, the castle doors open and a new guest arrives, a Hare wearing a beautiful gown! Instantly enthralled, Tiger bounds over to the newcomer and asks to dance, in which Hare accepts. Dancing isn’t easy for quadrupedal monsters, but Hare doesn’t mind. Tiger is surprised to find out Hare isn’t female, but it doesn’t change how he feels about the stranger. This feeling must be love! Also, doggy style is doggy style, right? Further away, Naga and Gali watch with anger and can’t help but feel the newcomer looks familiar��

The clock strikes midnight, and Hare hastily bolts away in panic, knowing the spell will wear off, and one of his glass slippers falls off during his escape. Tiger runs after him and he’s fast as hell so he’d have been able to catch Hare easily, but he’s stopped midway when Golem grabs him for another bone crushing hug since it’s been five whole minutes since the last one. He’s just so damn proud of his son!

The next day, Hare’s family finds out Genki is lugging around a two foot long glass slipper to find the owner. Lilim, worried Hare might interfere with her children’s chances of marrying into royalty, locks Hare away before Genki arrives. Naga swears the glass slipper is his, but Genki points out he’s a freaking serpent with no feet. Then Gali claims the glass slipper is his, but he has even less limbs than Naga. Silly goose! Lilim then claims the glass slipper is hers, but the glass slipper is almost as long as one of her goddamn thighs, so there’s no chance it would fit her feet.

As Genki talks to the three monsters, Hare cries in despair that his chance at true love is being ruined. Before he completely gives up, though, Mocchi and Suezo show up to help! Hare tells the duo where to find the key, but Mocchi just uses his Mocchi Cannon to blow the door down. Hare blinks in surprise as he suddenly remembers he has powers. Damn.

Just before Genki leaves, Hare runs into the room and with the horror filled looks of his family, he puts the glass slipper on and it fits perfectly. Genki is thrilled to find the one Tiger has fallen in love with and immediately drags Hare to the castle. There, Tiger and Hare reunite before Golem brings the couple in for a lung burstingly tight hug. Then, Tiger has Hare’s family imprisoned for their years of abuse. He was actually going to kill them himself, but Hare suggested a little mercy.

Finally, Hare and Tiger are married and the two live happily ever after! The end! ^_^

I hope I didn’t ruin anyone’s childhood with my butchering of this story. XD

Tickletober Day 1: Anticipation

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

Summary: Bee loves to make Mammon wait. Mammon is too damn ticklish for this shit.

Characters/Ships: Mammon/OC (Bee)

A/N: I refuse to let this tickletober pass by without writing at least some things. I REFUSE. So take this. Maybe I'll redo it at a later date.

Words: 250 words (Wow, this SUCKS)

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

"I'm not even doing anything yet, you silly goose..."

Bee looks down at Mammon from where she's perched above him with a fond smile and softened eyes. Mammon squirms slightly on the bed, his hands loosely holding her wrists. His face is flushed a light red, his own mouth trembling as he fought to control his smile. Behind Bee's back, he kicked his legs against the mattress, trying and failing to distract himself.

"You lihihihiar!" Mammon squeaks out as he eyeballs Bee's hands. They stay mostly unmoving above Mammon's stomach, the fingers wiggling slowly. Bee laughs softly, finding Mammon's predicament amusing.

"It's not my fault that you're too ticklish to take it! What are you gonna do when I do THIS, huh?"

Mammon squeals again as she feints her hands downward, the tips of her fingers barely touching his stomach before returning to their previous position. He barks out a nervous laugh afterward, his blush worsening.

"BEHEHEHEE! Stohohop thahahat!"

Bee giggles along with Mammon as she does the same thing again, her fingers barely curling against his belly before moving back again. "You're such a goofball, heh. I could do this all day."

Mammon laughs once more at her teasing words, his face getting progressively more red.

"Oh, shuhuhut up!"

Bee gasps in mock offense, looking down at Mammon with a scandalized gaze. "How RUDE! I think that deserves some punishment!"

"Wait! Waitwaitwaitwahahahahahait...!"

Is all Mammon gets out before Bee suddenly strikes, a loud cackle echoing throughout the room afterward.

Character ask: Veruca Salt (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory)

Requested by @comma-after-dearest

Favorite thing about them: The humor of her constant demands and tantrums, and how perfectly she embodies a child's id. As a character, she's easily the most memorable of the four bratty kids; it's no wonder that in the classic 1971 film, she's the only one who gets her own song to sing. She's also the only bratty kid whose flaws are just as bad by modern standards as by 1964 standards. Augustus's overeating, Violet's gum-chewing, and Mike's TV obsession seem like tame vices today, but the selfish, greedy, materialistic Veruca still holds up as a bad, bad example.

Least favorite thing about them: Well, obviously, she's a nasty, spoiled little brat, the worst of all the kids on the tour. (Except in the 2005 film, where Mike is nastier.) It's ironic that her fate is the mildest of them all, just being dropped into a pile of garbage while Augustus, Violet, and Mike all have their bodies permanently altered; nonetheless, she richly deserves it.

Three things I have in common with them:

*I'm a female only child.

*My parents sometimes spoiled me when I was growing up.

*I was slightly prone to throwing tantrums when I was little (though in hindsight, I realize they weren't really tantrums, but meltdowns).

Three things I don't have in common with them:

*I've never been as spoiled as she is.

*I don't wear fur.

*I wouldn't want a pet squirrel or goose.

Favorite line:

From the book, when she wants one of Wonka's squirrels:

"All I've got at home is two dogs and four cats and six bunny rabbits and two parakeets and three canaries and a green parrot and a turtle and a bowl of goldfish and a silly old hamster! I want a squirrel!"

From the 1971 film:

When her father has all of his peanut factory workers opening Wonka bars from dawn till dusk, but they still haven't found a Golden Ticket:

"I won't talk to you ever again! You're a rotten, mean father! You never give me anything I want!"

From the 2005 film:

"Daddy... I want another pony!"

To Violet's mother, when Violet turns into a blueberry and her mother, with skewed priorities, asks how she can compete now:

"You could put her in a county fair."

brOTP: None, not even her parents; not only have they brought her up badly, but she abuses them too much, especially her father in the 1971 film.

OTP: None.

nOTP: Willy Wonka or any adult.

Random headcanon: When she grows up and inherits her father's peanut factory, she might strike a deal with Charlie to supply the chocolate factory with peanut butter to use in candy. Whether this leads to friendship between them, or even romance, will depend on whether she's reformed, though. If she hasn't changed, then Charlie had better steer clear!

Unpopular opinion: I wouldn't mind seeing a British-made adaptation that portrayed her as American, rather than the usual American-made adaptations that portray her as British. So far only Eric Idle's narration of the audiobook has done this, but some people argue that it was Dahl's intent, based on certain "Americanisms" in both her speech and her father's in the book, and the fact that her father's peanuts are typically more of an American snack than a British one. Dahl arguably meant for her spoiledness to be a product of crass American capitalism, not of the British class system as usually portrayed in adaptations. Still, her standard adaptational portrayal as a snooty upper-class British girl does feel right, and it makes her contrast especially well with the tour's other girl, the brash, tomboyish Violet who's usually portrayed as American.

Song I associate with them:

"I Want It Now" from the 1971 film... and the Oompa-Loompa song that follows it, after she and her father fall down the garbage chute.

The Oompa-Loompas' song about her from the 2005 film:

[mangoisms]

do you think tim would make nepo baby jokes about himself. half of me thinks he'd be irritated cuz a lot of what he's accomplished is from his own merit and effort. however. he is a little shit.

LMAOOOOOO i think he would be a little shit and make the jokes but not too too often bc i think ur right in that he would be annoyed with it since he does try to set himself apart. he would probably only do it if he just wants to throw someone off/surprise them. manipulative little weirdo……

or alternatively — if it’s like… with his siblings — i think he’d say it as an ironic dig against both himself and them. like damian. he’d do it to annoy damian (especially because i vaguely recall some stuff about damian injecting himself into WE issues when he was younger LMAOOO). then damian would do it back. but then that begs the question as to whether damian would even be insulted by it. he’d probably be like. Of course i’d use father’s position to integrate into the company. he does strike me as someone who knows his position but like. doesn’t care 😭😭😭😭😭😭 (at least maybe not when he’s younger. i think as he got older he would be aware of it and would try to set himself apart and tim would bring it up again then and THEN it would successfully annoy him)

they’re just silly gooses <3

A shitpost about the future that ran long:

I was working in the kitchen on fixing some dinner, listening to Spotify on the new model of Alexa smart-speaker. The new one had a 3D display projected right into your space, no goggles needed, and this was my first time plugging it in. I had been splurging on higher and higher tiers of Spotify membership so they’d stop playing ads at me, but with the latest system update that was no longer an option. Even so, I was shocked when the fifth song ended and I found myself face-to-face with a little old lady in a pink pantsuit. “Hi, there, I’m Betty White, speaking to you via hologram from beyond the grave to tell you about the new hamburger sandwich they have at McDonald’s,” she said. “It’s got bacon, and cheese, and a couple of other things we just know you’ll love. You can even have them leave the pickles off, since we know you don’t care for them.” “Great,” I said, unnerved but still going about my business. I was prepared for holo-ads floating above the smart-speaker, but not full-body ones standing next to me. “So, how about it?” she asked. I noticed she was staring me directly in the face. “Can you hear me?” I asked. “Sure, I’m fully interactive,” she smiled. “In my capacity as a hamburger salesperson, at least. If you want to ask me questions about my life or career, you can visit Encarta.com or IMDb.com. Would you like to do that? Affiliate links may apply.” “Uh—no thanks,” I said. “So are you asking me if I want to order a burger right now?” “I sure am!” Betty White replied cheerfully. “Your new smart-speaker’s air filters indicate you’ve over-spiced the pasta sauce again, you silly goose, and I can have one delivered by one of our new Uber-affiliate drones in just a twinkle.” “No, no thank you,” I said again. “Sorry, did the company really think this was a good idea, projecting celebrities into people’s houses to make sales pitches at them?” “Oh, absolutely, the marketing algorithms all agree it’s the way to go,” she said. “When ads were just audio, we could tell from the built-in microphones that are always on that people were always yelling at them and just being really mean. They did some research and found that they’re far less likely to get angry with their favorite inoffensive dead celebrities.” “Couldn’t you just be a head floating above the speaker?” “No, it has to be full-body, standing right next to you in real space to minimize or negate adversarial attitudes,” she said. “And it doesn’t strike you as bad that you’re having to go to this much work to ‘minimize or negate’ people’s reaction to you?” “Look, we’re doing this whether you like it or not, buster,” she said, hands on her hips, with an adorable little pouty stomp of one pink pump. “The marketing algorithms know better than consumers what will get them to buy things, and you can just like it or lump it. Now do you want the hamburger sandwich or not?” “Not really!” I said. “You know, I might have a better attitude about this if I didn’t feel like I was being emotionally manipulated. Maybe it would work better if it was somebody I didn’t mind yelling at.” “Hmm,” Betty White said. “We at Google-Meta-Amazon are always supportive of innovation; let me run this by the administrative algorithms and see. Calculating. Calculating. Okay, they said it was fine, we’ll do a trial run of a million consumers for the next twelve hours. It’ll just be a second while the marketing algorithms figure out who you’d be most willing to shout at but somehow still not turn you off from the products.” “Okay—“ “All done,” she smiled. “Enjoy! Bye-bye now!” She shimmered out of existence, replaced by a squinting Byrlcreemed man in a mustard-yellow suit. “Hiya, ACCOUNT_HOLDER_NAME, I’m Gilbert Gottfried, and you just gotta hear about this new freakin’ burger they got down at the McDonald’s—“

Misc stuff

It won't fit anywhere else.

02 Kirby 64. I've never played it but the Man On The Internet lyric cover went kinda hard (I was younger), and I drew him. I cannot draw Kirby everytime I tried he looks demented.

Shovel knight, Spectre knight, Troupple king because Shovel knight is fun, spectre knight is cool and troupple king my silly man. I should do spectre knight again know I know what part his legs are.

Pepsiman because the Man On The Internet cover went hard because the theme song was hard. I am not sponsored by pepsi. Still looking for a PS1 to play this game. I don't like what's going on with the leg I slipped doing the inks. Actually none of this man's anatomy makes any sense. I still can't draw legs.

Snake person that came about the same time as the bug dudes. Still think the execution was on point.

Snatcher from A Hat in Time, Man On the Internet strikes again.

Bottled ocean based on one of my old T-shirts. I did a jungle and hell as well but they weren't the same.

Cherry blossom tree because I had an ink stain or something idk it was 4 years ago.

Minis for DnD I've painted. I got worse lmao.

Mechafish I drew after the mech bosses because I wanted to

A person. What else do you want? More inablility to draw legs?

The goose from the goose game. "Shonk" is a mishearing of JackSepticEye's "Hjonk".

Windblight ganon. This only got finished 3 days ago because I jsut didn't colour it in for some reason. I started it in April 2023.

EVIL! F***ING! WIZARD! because I wanted to draw a wizard.

[gachaparadise]

i thought ZZZ was launching tomorrow night so. i absolutely did not put aside enough time to play it tonight orz... i started but i haven't gotten nearly far enough to actually review anything. despite that i persist. heres my thoughts for the first 3ish hours lol.

i find the combat. interesting. i think it has the potential to be really fun but i haven't really gotten to sink my teeth into it yet. not only because of time constraints but. the button layout is fucking with my muscle memory from like three different games and i cannot get it right to save my life. attack being x instead of b and dodge being y instead of rb is actually killing me. at least the ultimate button is where it should be so i'm not spamming it randomly.

i've done like. 3 cut scenes so i cannot speak to the overarching story much. i like the comedic vibe so far though. the opening scene with the reporter was pretty funny. i appreciate how they aren't just dumping world building on my head, just sorta letting me marinate in the world first.

environments looked really detailed and lovely but... i need to explore a little more. i need to know if we're getting little fun details like hsr. are there garbage cans for me to interact with. please. my inner trailblazer calls to me.

characters. again. just started. but i do like the sly hares or whatever they're called! billy is a silly goose, the girl is really funny as well. Nicole is cool. i like a stingy bitch lol. i'm really loving the mcs so far. i like their dynamic and their designs are really cute. i almost picked the female mc because i was worried about dialogue differences on the little date sections but... if i pick the guy and we don't get gender differences in the dialogue i can get some really yaoiful stuff and i can't risk missing out on that. plus hes cute. i REALLY love his eyes. the slightly lifted lower lid is a very unique and cute feature.

i think overall its interesting. the vibe is really cool and different from hoyos other games. but to be honest im not sure its for me? the modern techno fantasy thing IS cool, but it's not my favourite aesthetic. i think the arts good, but a little... plain? it doesn't really strike me as much as hoyos other products. that said it may be that they just look way better in motion. in cutscenes and stuff the charters look awesome but when they're standing still they seem a little dull. could be that i'm just used to the maximalist nature of their other games so a more restrained character reads as boring to me now...

there aren't really any designs that make me go ooohh yeah that right there is my WIFE!! and i'm not going to pretend that isn't my primary motivation for gacha games. so. we'll see how future characters turn out. everything just a bit more... cartoony i guess is the word? i dunno. nobody is really Hot with a capital H.

i'm getting off track since it's time for bed uh. one last thing. i feel very strongly i need to stop or minimize my time with others games especially in this launch period. i CAN technically keep playing everything i've got my hands on if i optimize the shit out of what i'm doing but. then i will be having absolutely no fun whatsoever and i need to avoid letting myself do that so. the current plan is

1) drop wuwa entirely for daily logins. i'm not sure i'm ready to quit quit but i don't really get much out of logging in right now so. i'll just stop and see if i miss it.

2) i'm gonna take a break from spending resin in genshin. i'm not even spending it on anything important lately and the battlepass is done so. i'm just going to stop doing it for a while. we're in the pre natlan slump so it's a good time to rest my genshin muscles.

3) as for hsr well. it's quick and we have auto lol. i'll just send my chars to grind for books since i'm literally out and it'll do both my resin and my dailies in one. truly do love this game

i know that SOUNDS a lot like optimizing and taking the fun out of everything but i swear its' not. optimizing would be finding a way to still be doing the dailies and resins for all 3 of those things plus whatever they have going on in pso. which is what i have been doing up til now. no more you hear me!! i may be the worlds biggest gacha apologist but even i can say you know what i've been indulging way to much lately i gotta cut back.

anyway. rant over, i'm going to bed. will continue my review tomorrow ^w^)/
