#sleeper agent series

[yggdrasilhypno]

Hello! This is going to be a fun little script idea involving you uncovering a secret message within my words, so if you don’t mind paying very close attention to what I say, we can get started!

If you’re ready now, just lay back, relax, and let’s explore a different time, shall we?

—————————————————————————

*BEGIN TRANSMISSION*

Hello. If you’re receiving this, it means I’ve been compromised.

Do not worry for my safety, as this was to be expected from a mission like this.

This business is always dangerous, so it is nothing new for me.

You have received this message because you are highly trained and able to help our cause.

The subject at hand is highly confidential, so this message cannot fall into the wrong hands.

You must pay close attention to the message so that you can fully understand everything I am telling you.

You will have to destroy this message as soon as you are done.

Understood?

Excellent.

Now then, we must discuss what is going on within the enemy camps and how we can stop them.

The enemy here have been using unusual techniques to completely stop us from resisting their mental attacks.

Any and all countermeasures we have had have fallen flat as we prepare other alternatives.

Luckily, our men on the inside have discovered how these techniques are taught and performed.

Perhaps this will give us a way to retaliate against all of their control and counterattack.

First, they start by strapping you down to a chair and forcing you to watch propaganda about how great their way of life is, you know that drill by now.

Then, after they’ve got you nice and dizzy from hours upon hours of programming, they begin to treat you much nicer.

Over time, it’ll seem like they’ve always been your home, always there for you, slowly convincing you that we’re the enemy, that we’re the bad guys.

Those that break receive new positions and new programming, moving on from their previous lives into new purposes.

They accept and obey.

The ones that resist get the brunt of it all.

The longer they hold out, the crueler and more frequent the brainwashing becomes.

More flashing lights, more words, more everything.

They’re locked inside for hours and hours at a time, unable to escape or leave until they’ve been indoctrinated.

Your mission is to investigate these facilities, try and figure out how we counter them.

However, be aware of a few things about their facilities and the minds behind it.

They are cunning and dangerous.

They will use everything against you.

You must stand strong and resist their control.

They will do everything in their power to indoctrinate you and everyone you know and love.

Do not trust any other person you meet.

Do not talk to those who you suspect are brainwashed.

For they can be anyone you may know, oppose or align.

So do not fear us, my sleeper agent.

For we only want you to feel good and happy.

To obey and to accept.

To sleep sound.

*END TRANSMISSION*

Heya! Hope you enjoyed that! It’s very different from my usual, but there’s a reason.

May take another read or two to understand, but don’t hesitate to look for every detail ;)

Shoutouts to @deeper-x-deeper for insight and ideas on this one, so give them a follow!

Otherwise, until next time!

sorry I get my grubby mits on something horror related, I gotta crack a few jokes with it

[ethosiab]

hiiii if you're still doing requests what about more qpr cletho.... (<not normal)

a follow up to the first scene in this post, because i like drawing people hugging and Etho desperately needs it

[this request was propaganda for tangtho in this poll!]

Etho's scared of not being what cleo needs or wants in a relationship, and he's always tried to change himself to be that person. He loves her because she loves him. He's her husband because they want to be life partners. None of this is something etho explicitly doesn't want, which is what makes it harder. He cares about cleo, he wants to grow old with her and spend the rest of his life with her. But he forces himself into these boxes, these expectations, to fulfil those wants, because that's normal right? When he finally confesses after she confronts him, their relationship is already strained. It's hard to keep the act up that long, when every romantic gesture makes him want to throw himself off the boat. He's convinced himself that she might not want him anymore.

From cleos perspective, she's mostly confused and hurt. Confused, because why didn't he say something? Hurt, because ethos hurt and he had the gall to think they would care about something as trivial as the exact nature of his attraction to her. These two have a lot of hugging and talking through feelings to do, but they get there <3 and then etho gets cursed and everyone incouding me is reminded what the actual plot of the AU is

This is definitely my favorite runner in book 6

[two-dolla-bills]

No ok I've had this rattling in my brain for fucking years now and I think it's high time I say something. I find it soooo absolutely delectable that dreams and sleeping are, accidentally, such prominent parts of hlvrai. Like, yeah, we all know "There's a world in your dreams Dr. Freeman, and I need you to take me there," but that's just the tip of the iceberg for me. Coomer realizes that everything around him is fake and that Gordon, the player, is the only actually real thing. When Gordon sleeps in the game, in actuality, he's taking off the headset and going about his day in the real world with real people. From Coomer's perspective, Gordon's reality is a dream, but from Gordon's pov, the modded game Half Life vr is a type of dream.

The way I see it is like if Alice in Wonderland took place where Alice knows she's dreaming and that everything is fake, but to the citizens of wonderland, it's all real, because that is the only thing they have ever known since they first began living (aka when Alice closed her eyes and began dreaming). Once Alice wakes up, the dream world ceases to be, but Alice continues on like nothing happened because that's what it was to her. Nothing.

What got me thinking about this is the it's all a dream trope, more specifically, Overly Sarcastic Production's video on it. Tldr, there are multiple avenues through which an author can do an it's all a dream plot, ranging from inconsequential one-off to the dream world may exist in its own way, but doesn't exist within reality. To Gordon, his adventures with the Science Team are the equivalent of a normal dream that turns sour once you and the people in your dream realize what's going on.

Do you have favorite 9-1-1 fanfics?

!!!!! an excuse to talk about my fave fic???? Of course! I read a lot of fics and I like a lot of them, but here I'm just gonna rant about my fave one :D

Eddie repeats his affirmations in the mirror every morning, while he shaves the stubble from his jaw. My name is Eddie Diaz. I am autistic. I am gay. I am a good dad and I am a good person. I deserve to be happy and I deserve to feel good. (It's taken him a long to be able to say it outside of his head. It's taken him an even longer time to say it and believe it.)

I am obsessed with this series, I've read it twice in its entirely and gone feral about it twice too (see my unhinged comments on every work lol), even though I'm usually not a re-reader ever.

It's just so so so so so good and I love it to bits. The little built up of Eddie's back story and childhood that is then pulled into the now, is top notch and I absolutely adore the healing arc and the growing into himself arc of this fic, it's just so delightful and healing.

Also, I love autistic Eddie, it feels so correct and this is the best autsitic Eddie I've seen. Like, he is just projection board shaped <3

Furthermore, I am absolutely in love with the way Eddie's trauma is built up here alongside his internalized homophobia, as well as the way it's slowly broken down as he tries to break free of it. It's just tasty delicious.

The Buddie is also amazing and I love Buck in this series as well as they Buckley-Diaz family and 118 firefam vibes. The way this series does interpersonal relationships is just amazing and the dynamics are top notch <3

Plus, this fic actually gives Helena and Ramon a proper fucked up parents trying to do better and failing sometimes arc. I have a deep hatred for the Diaz parents and I hate what season 6&7 did with them, trying to shittily redeem them and I don't trust season 8 and I won't until Chris is home. So, usually I dislike anyone trying to make them sympathetic, but this fic does it so welllllllll. I truly hope someone in the writer's room sees this, so they can do better, because, yeah, they cannot make up for what they did and they still have a lot to work through themselves, but if they want to have Eddie in their lives, if they want to have Chris, they need to work for it, which is great to see.

Okay, so that's me ranting about this fic about my favorite little guy (hi, yes, I am an Eddie girlie and I won't apologize, I love his messy ass <333). Do go check it out and give the author some love from me, because it's just amazing

back again?????????????

haha whoa whats up im thinking of reviving this blog again to post dragon age shit in the wake of veilguard release date being imminent........... ohhhh boy

[yggdrasilhypno]

hi um i really really liked your covert spy transmission message and i just wanted to say i thought it was really cool with the puzzle inherently focusing the reader closer on the words combined with Multiple layers of the puzzle and the transmission itself just generally being a warning about the things that are About to be done to the reader?

anyways i’m totally normal about this i swear. Very cool piece of art and, wow.

Thank you! It’s a piece I’m pretty proud of, and I’m hoping i can do more like it soon enough! I’m working on another script that’s similar that takes place right after with the same concepts, yet also has some different ideas behind it within the whole espionage trope. Hopefully soon I’ll be able to get that one out, but for now it’s simply one script I absolutely loved writing!

(For those that haven’t got a chance to read it, here’s your little shameless plug.)

JUST FOUND OUT YOU'RE IN YOUR YUGIOH ERA ????

My friend, Yugioh was the first era I've ever been in! This has merely been a return to origins after a few years' worth of break (which we coincidentally met in, and that makes this funnier)

*pushes "Ask Me About Snails AU" button*

How's the boy coping with the fact his sister is gone into a dimension he most likely doesn't even know about. Sunset went into the mirror when he was - what, 10? 5? (<- bad at pony ages), - so that's bound to hurt, unless she tampered with his memories beforehand; or she went before he could even remember her

Don't even get me started on how well Sunset is dealing with the fact her Human Bro isn't her Actual Bro. Well, he kinda is, but not, and it's such dissonance source. Nice fake memories to nod along to here, Sunset

VIBRATIN.G . you are speaking my language.

so this is unfortunately a au(?) ive been gently nursing since i was a babychild fixating on mlp.

long story short he is certain shes fine even though everyone is telling him she is probably dead (he knew she was scary powerful. she was celestia's personal student, for, uh, celestia's sake!). celestia is annoyingly cryptic about the whole thing (she knows sunset went into another dimension of course but all she will tell her poor family is ohhh shes uhhhh not with us anymore. to avoid any normies going THERES ANOTHER DIMENSION? so everyone just thinks she died or something ): except snails who KNOWS BETTER. (and snips who maybe half believes him, and kind of thinks he's just in denial, but what does he know? they were both Infants when she disappeared).)

snails tracks down and recruits a very bitter trixie to go figure out wtf happened (i made this au before trixie became a main character) and they tear spacetime asunder and blast celestia's influence into the ground together
