f1 masterlist

Lewis

You: "Hey guys, can you watch my boyfriend for a sec? I need to grab something from the car."

You head out, leaving Lewis alone in front of your phone's camera. He looks around, slightly bewildered.

"What? Y/N who’s on the phone? Uh, hey there. I guess I'm being watched. So... how's everyone doing? Good? Cool. Uh, any Mercedes fans here?" He starts talking about his day and how Roscoe is doing, trying to entertain the 'audience'. "Alright, she'll be back any minute now... right?"

Max

You: "Hey guys, can you watch my boyfriend for a sec? I need to take out the trash."

Max raises an eyebrow as you walk away. He looks at the phone, unsure of what to say.

"Huh? Um, okay. This is weird. Hi, everyone….I guess…..Y/N what is this?! Who’s on the phone? So…what do we do now? Should I... talk about racing? Or... maybe I could just sit here…?" He awkwardly shuffles in his seat, checking his watch. "How long does it take to throw out the trash? Y/N come back! I don’t know what to say or do!"

Lando

You: "Hey guys, can you watch my boyfriend for a sec? I need to get a drink from the kitchen."

Lando grins as you walk away, immediately knowing the TikTok trend. He leans in closer to the camera.

"Hey, TikTok! I was wondering when Y/N was going to do this trend on me! What have you guys been up to? Should I prank her back? Give me some ideas in the comments!" He starts to look around, trying to find something to do. "Should I play some games on my computer or maybe I'll hide and jump out when she gets back?"

Oscar

You: "Hey guys, can you watch my boyfriend for a sec? I need to get my food."

Oscar blinks, looking at the phone and then at the door you just walked towards. He frowns slightly.

"Huh? What….okay? Uh, hi? I guess you guys are going to watch me eat my breakfast…Not sure what I'm supposed to do here. Should I be saying something interesting?" He scratches his head, and moves his food around, clearly uncomfortable. "So, did you guys have breakfast yet? I hope you did, breakfast is important….uhhh yea. Y/N!! Babe!! Come back!! I don’t know what to do!!"

Charles

You: "Hey guys, can you watch my boyfriend for a sec? I need to take a call."

Charles watches you leave, then looks at the phone, confused but trying to be polite.

"Uh? Wait what? Hello, everyone. I guess your...on watch duty?" He laughs nervously. "This feels strange. Maybe I should sing a song? Or talk about Ferrari? Oh, I know, I'll play some music on my piano!" He moves towards the piano, but then hesitates. "Wait, how long is this call going to be? Y/N! Baby!!"

Carlos

You: "Hey guys, can you watch my boyfriend for a sec? I need to make a smoothie."

Carlos looks at the camera, then at the direction you went, raising an eyebrow.

“What is this? Hello? Anyone there? Who were you talking to? Y/N?! Uhhhh hi… Wait, a smoothie? Bebe make me one too please! Okay, hi everyone. This is Carlos, just here... being watched?" He starts looking around, picking up random items on the table. "So, let me show you my favorite things on this table. This is a cool pen, and this is... a coaster. Fascinating, right?" He chuckles, shaking his head. "This is so weird. How long does making a smoothie take anyway?"

Sebastian

You: "Hey guys, can you watch my boyfriend for a sec? I need to water the plants."

Sebastian gives you a puzzled look as you leave and then turns to the camera, smiling politely.

"What?! Y/N what is this? Hello? Hello? Anywhere there? I’m confused… Y/N!! Who were you talking too? Honey? … Um, hello everyone… I guess I'm under surveillance now." He chuckles. "So, while she's watering the plants, let's talk about... sustainability! Did you know you can make your own compost at home? It's really simple and great for your garden." He starts explaining the process, gesturing enthusiastically. "I hope she comes back soon because I might run out of eco-friendly tips! Oh wait!! I know! Let me show you my bees!!"

Jenson

You: "Hey guys, can you watch my boyfriend for a sec? I need to grab the mail."

Jenson watches you leave with a bemused smile, then looks at the phone.

"Ummm what?! Babe? Y/N? Hello? Uhhh..hey there. So, I guess I need to be watched for a minute. You guys are in babysitting duty? Let’s see... what can I do to entertain you?" He glances around and spots his dogs. "Hey, meet my dogs! Come here babies!." He tries to get their attention but Bentley and Rouge ignore him, while Storm walks up to him, just to sit and stare at him. "Well, that didn’t go as planned. I guess they’re tired from playing this morning. Oh well, maybe next time! Isn’t that right Storm." he says putting down the camera.

Daniel

You: "Hey guys, can you watch my boyfriend for a sec? I need to fix something in the bathroom."

Daniel immediately grins and laughs as you walk away, sensing a prank.

“Huh? Babe? What? Oh wait! It’s that TikTok trend!! Alright, what’s up TikTok, what's going on? He starts making funny faces at the camera and then leans in closer. "I have no idea what to talk about. This is so stupid and awkward.” He says bursting out laughing. He keeps glancing towards the bathroom, barely containing his laughter. "Babe come back!!"

Read this before interacting

Shina: I think… although Sui’s satisfied with his work in Sublime, part of his heart is still with Lit… 

Shina: If he’s bottling up any unresolved matters… I want to help.

Shina: But… none of us can do that. 

Shina: … Neither can the members of Lit. You're probably the only one who can help him. 

Shina: I’m sorry for being this useless. We’ll do our best to help, but if you can… 

Shina: Please… look out for Sui. 

(Even if you say that…!)

The unexpected responsibility placed on me felt like a boulder on my chest. 

(Why me, of all people…)

I let out a sigh and looked up at the clouds. 

Koto: This is too much… maybe I shouldn't have come today. 

Kei Midoh: I was kind of looking forward to seeing you here, though.

Koto: … Eh!?

I heard a familiar voice. 

The same voice that had accompanied me from the very first day of going to school in groups during first grade, all the way till college… 

Koto: Kei-kun!?

Kei: Long time no see. 

Kei: I heard you were hanging around the club room last week. 

Koto: Word sure travels fast, huh. Yeah, I was helping out with this party. 

Kei: So you’re a freelancer now? Haru-san mentioned that an article you wrote was good, but wouldn't tell me where it's published. 

Koto: Uhhhh, I think I’d be embarrassed if you read it… 

Kei: Oi, what’s that supposed to mean? 

We’d been together since childhood… 

Even though we attended the same college, we were in different faculties, studying different subjects. It eventually became harder to find time to spend together… 

During our first year of college, Kei-kun grew distant from the music club, and so did I by our second year. 

In the end, even when I left Lit, we never had a proper conversation about it. I wonder how much time has passed since then?

Kei: You were from the faculty of literature, right? I bet you’re meticulous with your interviews. 

Kei: If you ever feel like it, I’ll give you an interview. I’ll even tell Miyamoto-san. 

Koto: Ugh, isn't it kind of cheating to use our childhood friendship like that?

Kei: Stupid. Use what you can. Freelancing is tough work. 

Koto: Woahhh look at Kei-kun over here all grown up… acting soooo mature now…

Kei: Come again?

Hijiri: Oof, picking a fight already. Kei’s been that frustrated, huh. 

Reiya: Yeah. Just mentioning to him that we met Koto-chan had Kei’s eyes narrowing sharply. 

Kei: Wha—... now you guys are just spouting nonsense…! 

Haru: Hijiri-kun, that's enough. We’re about to perform an upbeat song, so let’s not spoil the mood. 

Hijiri: I’ll throw him off by slamming random piano keys mid-performance if he keeps sulking. 

Reiya: It’s our first live performance in a while, you’ll end up getting an earful if you improvise too much on the spot. 

Koto: Um, guys? Is it really okay for you to be slacking off here like this!? 

The atmosphere felt nostalgic and heartwarming. Part of me wanted to stay here forever— but this wasn't where I belonged. 

I chided them as they seemed to be getting too carried away with their idle chattering. 

Checking the time on “Mebi-usa”, the bunny-shaped clock I always carried with me— I saw that it was almost time for the opening ceremony. 

Koto: I’m looking forward to today’s performance. 

Koto: Lit, go on and shine like you always do!

Kei: … Yeah. We will!

Kei: Alright! Let's go! 

Unlike the four of them who dashed off, I started walking slowly—

ALRIGHTTTTT, STARTING OFF WITH @eslover. I remember our first interaction the best tbh... (milgram tree, kotorb!!) you're the person that made really want to try and branch out to talk to other people within the milgramblr community (I still get a bit embarrassed though).

Sol Badguy - Guilty Gear Strive (Tickle headcanons)

Yeeeaaaah so I may have been following GG recently and actually finished Strive today. It's a super good game and series I recommend you guys check it out, the story is very captivating and offers a lot more than what you might think.

Either way, don't expect this to become a long term thing, just throwing up what my mind's been cooking up since then... If you have no fucking clue what I'm talking about, then uhhhh. Either way, if anyone in the TK community knows the game, this one is for you! 🩷

If not, I just hope you enjoy what I'm writing, without context, everything may sound confusing. But I really like Sol, so excuse my silliness haha (⁠ ⁠◜⁠‿⁠◝⁠ ⁠)⁠♡

✧🔥Headcanons🔥✧

Lee:

This motherfucker is NOT ticklish. Not in the slightest.

If he is, Sol is too tough to let it show. He has to keep up the reputation as a hardened bounty hunter y'know?

If you're the poor soul who somehow manages to sneak up on him and wiggle a few fingers on him, one of two things will happen

A. You're Jack O' and he'll let it slide, with a somewhat joking but threatening warning that if you do that again, you'll risk seeing his not so soft side

B. A fucking idiot who's about to get flung into the nearest mountain

Moral of the story, never tickle Sol Badguy. 'Badguy' is literally in his name

Ler:

Sol is the rough and tumble kind and isn't the type in the slightest to get close to people, let alone mushy enough to where, he'll tickle them

If anything, the most he'll do to you is ruffle your hair and tell you to go home to your parents

But in the case you two are close, he's gonna manhandle your ass and put you in a headlock (which is pretty one sided considering he spun Lincoln like a toy) - Sol can be merciful and will warn you for one final time...

If you refuse then what happens next is practically your fault

Sol will chuckle a little and go... "Alright, well you asked for this." And dish out your well deserved punishment

Despite his sheer strength and size, he knows when to tone it down. But that only means doing the bare minimum to not hurt you

He's gonna really dig in, he's shockingly very good at kneading and squeezing weak spots, like your ribs or stomach and will thoroughly massage whatever spot's killing you until he lets up

Sol isn't very vocal during this time, maybe belting out a remark or taunt, but mostly just huffs and keeps you in whatever hold he has you in until he thinks you've had enough...or if you start screaming a little too much for comfort

"What, not saying that stupid shit from earlier?"

"Aw, what's wrong? I don't remember you begging like this?" BRO 😭.

He doesn't tickle for long, only pulls it out when nothing else works and does his best to get the best results the fastest

Probably came from his time as a scientist

Sol would rather die than admit this, but one time when bounty hunting, he ended up tickling his captured victim as an interrogation method. It was entirely by accident! Carrying them in that loaf looking carpet, he accidentally squeezed this ribs, causing them to squeal

Either way, he got curious and did it again, only to reap the same results...he found a new interrogation method that day. Despite how embarrassing it was.

Jack O', in terms of his most common victim, is his most common victim (and probably only victim, next to Ky Kiske when sparring one time)

I mean she's his girlfriend after all (kinda) and being who she is, she can be quite mischievous

Sol has had to knock her down a couple pegs to remind her who she's messing with. This is usually by him holding her near his chest and going at her midsection and hips until she collapses

Or (when isolated), in his lap where he'll poke at her weak spots until Jackie laughs herself silly and promises to knock off whatever she's doing, through hiccups

Jack O' actually enjoys being tickled by Frederick however and he is well aware of this...he still does it though, secretly finding the affection of the situation quite beautiful

Having his abilities, especially his Demon Install, has granted him quite the cool modifications, that being his fangs

You wouldn't catch him dead putting his mouth on anyone, but....one time, when Jack O' was being especially annoying that day and refused to let up

Sol Badguy had enough, storming up to her, grabbing her and pinning her to the ground, with his handsome face merely inches away from hers

The two freeze for a moment, Jackie pinned by her arms to the ground with her legs wrapped around his waist and Sol, covering over the first unit like a predator about to strike it's prey

The air around them seemed to stop, only their breathing the only thing indicative of life in the room, along with their fierce eye contact

Jack O' felt her heart flutter when Frederick began to close the distance between the two, getting close to her. She really could feel...

Just when their lips were about to touch, she felt her breath hitch when Sol said to her;

"Sorry, but that's not what I'm trying to do."

He switches directions and turns his attention to her neck and clamped his firm lips on her pale skin

Jack O' jumped with surprise, but a surprise sound began to spill from her; giggling

Sol Badguy, the savior of the world, was nibbling her neck like a puppy would a chew toy. Her reaction was immediate, squirming in place to hopefully escape, but Sol stayed, gently sinking his canines into her tender flesh

"Oh, I see. You're just a walking ball of nerves, aren't you, Jack O'?"

She could only squeal with frantic giggles, shrieking when he continued torturing her neck. She begged and begged for him to stop, but on the inside, Jackie was having a blast! She'd have to tell Ky about this

Who knows when Sol stopped, but when he did, Jack O' was an adorable red, blush dusted over her cheeks. She saw Badguy's eyes wide a little, before falling and up rose a small, satisfied smile

Yeah, the two were made for one another

[everchanging-cryptid]

live reacting to The Amazing Digital Circus Pilot because I just realized it came out

it’s all pixelly and then not, neat Ooh, ringmaster’s a fun character, love him

oh, Cain, like the Bible brother maybe?

Time loop?

Lol the flowerpot glitching through the floor

Hostile VR, nice

Haha, no swearing

I would very much like to live in this building

Can relate to Kinger, I too would love to chat with people about an insect collection

The ribbon guy reminds me of Will from the webcomic Nevermore

Blue screening when you need to come up with a list, same

I can’t tell if he’s gonna be a scary character or a funny character, that’s really cool

Why does the moon want to fuck him

Why are you like this

Ooh he’s hiding something yeah

Ok, he does not have control over minds, good to know, and he said “one of the few” so maybe he can’t control other things

Never tell a fae-like entity “I don’t care, just pick anything”

“Whaddya think of: *mouth keysmash*” lol

Pomni, that’s a fun name

“YOU PARASITE!!!” Had me laughing for like 2 minutes straight

Just pop the interrupting people

r u b b e r h o s e a n i m a t i o n b u n n y yeah favorite character material right there

I love how they all just talk over each other but you can still hear what they’re each saying

Assigned “Most Mentally Stable” at mental breakdown

Ooh, I see a bunch of X-ed out faces on the doors, did they get permakilled or something?

The framed artworks make me incredibly happy

Uhoh, Pomni went to the petrified place /reference

Where did you get a centipede???

Ooh that’s not good

he reminds me of a corrupted gem from Steven universe

Ooh that looks painful ouch

Love those broken object physics, beautiful

I love the sense of perspective, when the camera is further back and Pomni looks so isolated

I think Kinger might be the most relatable character tbh

Kaufmo just is not funny is he

God the comedic timing for Jax is PERFECT

RADICAL

Love a good bowling pin joke

Ok I take it back the comedic timing on Kinger is the best I was crying at the perfectly cut scream

Hmm I think poor kiddo Pomni here needs a break to cry

Ooh water cube room I like that

oh that’s terrifying they can just shoot faces at you

Well that’s certainly not Cain

Pfft they rock paper scissors and he won but did the thing anyway

“Oh.” *watches his hands float away*

HIS EYES DID THE CLOCK THING

Can the next person teleported in be a therapist because hot damn have we got some trauma up in here

:o barrel of monkeys! :D

NOOOO THE MONKEYS

Oh door?

Nope nope nope nope nope nope

Oh that’s some backrooms shit right there

Hot damn take a chill pill bro you already got him he’s dead

“This is dumb and weird.” Yeah im gonna quote that forever now thanks

“Ah thank GOD you’re okay, you didn’t experience a game show in there did you?” “Uhhhh… I— What are you talking about?”

Abstracted, like becoming abstract? Becoming just a vague feeling, a mere idea? Ooh that’s some good stuff right there

I too love the sound of a silent moving staircase

Oh this is gonna be fuckin terrifying I see how it is

Musty old computer causes mental breakdown? Interesting

C&A CAIN AND ABEL I FREAKIN CALLED IT YES oh that has some interesting implications now doesn’t it hmm souls trapped in a computer perhaps?

Oh shit it’s the void

I’ll take 5 wacky watches please

analysis on digital eating okay sure

oh that’s an earth shattering ending oh my gosh I feel like I just experienced eldritch enlightenment

Can not wait for more possible episodes! It’s incredible, I highly recommend checking it out! ^^

Disco Elysium Review: REACTION SPEED [Medium: Success] - "Uhm... Uh..."

wow hey that's not yakuza is it wowzers wowza

Yeah the game was like, really really really good so I really wanted to write something about it. Haven't done anything in a while I have to be honest so that's another reason for me to thank this game. Thank you, game

This review contains MINOR SPOILERS (but they're all out of context so honestly uhhhh you should be fine)

Reviewed on May 29, 2024. Last completed on May 26, 2023

Completed on PC

Rating: 10/10 (5 Stars)

Disco Elysium fans be like: "Oh, damn! Good thing I stocked up on healing items and quicksaved earlier! There's a really tough paragraph ahead!" It's me. I'm Disco Elysium fans.

It's hard for me to try to properly put into words how much I adore everything about this game. Every little detail, every single aspect, each and every one of those 1.2 million words in the script combine to grab you by the hand and wisp you away into its world.

This game's writing is seriously just something else. It's beautiful when it needs to be. Disturbing and haunting at times. Its comedic timing is perfect when it wants to. It's utterly heartbreaking when the time comes. The characters are all memorable, with even the seemingly insignificant side characters carrying with them bottomless depth. The amnesiac we play as oozes personality out of every alcohol-stained crevice, and carries himself through no matter which path you decide to take. Your inner monologue with your "stats" talking to you was a stroke of genius, and it does so much to inject life into every little thing you do. From hyping you up to sing karaoke, to telling you to lick spilled spirits on a table, to composing yourself to take a vital shot at an adversary, to trying to convince an old war vet to surrender their sandwich. Every little thing you do is painted before your very eyes, and you get to appreciate all of its stunning writing even more with the whole experience being fully voice-acted. Seriously, the prose in here is insane. Really inspires an idiot hobbyist like me.

And haha yeah I really enjoyed playing through this book alright alright, but I really must stress that Disco Elysium makes FULL use out of the game portion of "Computer Role Playing Game". The gameplay elements do an amazing job of bringing everything together. Your skills dictate which ones influence you the most, and which ones you're gonna hear from, further influenced by whatever ridiculous outfit you end up wearing. Not only is the skill system a great way to illustrate to the player their skills returning to them after the whole amnesia thing, but this does a lot to separate each playthrough from the last. One playthrough you'll have Encyclopedia inform you on some awesome fun facts about the chair you're sitting on, as you make use of Drama to crack open the man you're interviewing like a can. In the very next, you'll have Half-Light tell you to sucker punch a child who called you a homophobic slur. You experience the lives of almost entirely different men every time you hit "NEW GAME", despite most of the major points of the story remaining the same (and obviously the fact that you're still playing the same actual guy). But the biggest strength of the gameplay is how expertly it weaves everything together. It feels like even the smallest, most insignificant of checks will come back later to influence your next course of action. Lifted some weights in front of your partner to maybe show off a little earlier? Now you get a +2 advantage on your roll if you want to do a 360 spin kick on the head of a beefed-up racist guard. Messed up a pickup line really badly on a girl you met just after waking up? Ah, that's gonna be a -2 when you're trying to keep yourself composed when her name happens to get thrown in during an interrogation. The game will remember everything you say and do, no matter how insignificant it may seem at first. Even your check fails can open up new paths for you to take. I found myself not save-scumming as often as I thought I would, simply because messing things up would sometimes give me much funnier results than if I just succeeded as normal. I didn't find myself doing what I did for some arbitrary good or bad ending to aim for, I found myself doing what I felt like I would do. No, I found myself doing everything based on what I felt like my character would do, which might be the ultimate win for any RPG.

Most of all, Disco Elysium is a deeply human experience. This isn't a power fantasy where you play some untouchable god amongst men, you play as a broken, alcoholic man who drank so hard he can't remember what money is. Even with your physical skills as high as you can make them, the game makes it abundantly clear that you're still out of shape. Even if you're playing the whole thing sober, its characters still point out that you've downed barrels before and that you could probably break at a moment's notice. Even with Composure and Volition in your corner, keeping you up and letting you open your eyes every morning, you'll still get your heart broken again and again as memories start to resurface. And I love how the side cases never feel like lower-effort detours, but rather supplement your character, like you're simply walking through life. At one moment you'll be talking to your distractingly gaudy tie, and the next you'll try to talk a guy who yells "HARD-CORE!" at the top of his lungs whenever you approach him into becoming a communist. One second you'll repeat the same sentence over and over in front of an important ambassador like a broken record as your skills try to get you working normally again, and the next you'll try your best to tell a woman her husband's been found dead. And this game isn't afraid to get ugly: there are some downright horrific things showcased in its plot.

But after all of it, you get back up again. Your partner extends a hand to you. You put the bottle down and stretch your arms. Despite everything that's been thrown at you, every thought that's raced through your head, every rock thrown at your body, you keep living. It's a new day, and you've got a damn case to solve.

Sunrise, Parabellum.

Horizons Episode 33!! Wow this was a good one

AMETHIO!!!!! He's back :D and apparently they're following Rayquaza and found it! Looks like he's going it alone, Zir and Conia are on standyby in case anything happens. And looking back at the previews.... somethings gonna happen. He's going in with just a Corvinknight and a Ceruledge. His ass is not surviving.

A cool shot of the RVT and Rayquaza. Arcues he's huge. This is not a fight you want in on. And it's still got it's tera form on, what is up with that (can it mega evolve with it or no???)

Roy no-

Well okay it's his dream to catch it again cuz well... it did come out of his pokeball that his grampa gave to him. If I had a unique legendary come out of mine I'd be down to catch it again so really I can't say much.

On the other hand, Terapagos is making some noise too and now Liko is getting nervous which I can't blame her. Rayquaza is one of the stronger legendries out there so you really don't want it's full attention on you. And it appears to be angry af so uhhhhhh maybe we should, ya know. Run?

Haha. No :) I highly doubt it.

Oh that cannot be good.

Again, bro is fighting this bitch with nothing more than a Corvinknight and a Ceruledge. You are not surviving this Amethio, chill. Have you even looked at the type matchups? Geez kid.

But again, he's like.... very much looking for validation in the Explorers after not managing to get the pendant, and now they've shifted to Rayquaza cuz well.... bigger target and also very powerful, one of the Siz Heroes of Lucius (who I still suspect was killed by one of them long ago (seriously if it isn't what happened I'll eat paper))

Also btw the music was fire this episode, love what they had going on.

Oh he is not that far away from them okay.

Sequences that make me wanna scoop these kids up (specifically Roy) in a blanket and just get outta here.

He's really pushing it now, Rayquaza has been his whole goal this whole way. It's the reason why he even joined the Rising Volt Tacklers, and by god he's gonna get that fucking dragon back no mater what.

On Liko and Diana's side of things, they realize that Terapagos it trying to talk to the giant angry dragon but it won't fucking work cuz well it's a tiny little turtle with no powers of it's own here and well, as Diana said in the screenshot, it's just too riled up to notice Terapagos.

Also there's so much that y'all are missing here cuz I cannot take that many screenshots or even make gifs so uhhhh watch the show trust me there's a lot going on.

Speaking of moments that would be so enhanced with gifs....

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD THAT CERLUEGDE IS FUCKED.

So Amethio realizing that attacks from the ground just aren't working on it and Rayquaza can just dodge them easliy, deicded to get Ceruledge to hop onto Corvinknight and LAUNCH ITSELF onto the dragon to get a hit in at the least.

Only for Cerulegde to go from "Swords of Regrets" to "Face of Regrets" as it realizes that move did fuck all and then the poor thing gets thrown onto another rock outcropping.

AND THIS FUCKING DRAGON BEAMS THE GUY MULTIPLE TIMES GOOD LORD CHILL MY GUY.

And Amethio in a panic just hops onto Corvinknight to check on his Pokemon, who is most definitely out of the fight now.

I see why Kyogre and Groudon decided to retreat instead of fighting back in the games now. Homie does not hold back.

And apparently there's an image limit of 30 so I'll brb with a reblog oh god this episode was PACKED

[copper-dragon-in-disguise]

just checked your art fight characters and YOU PLAY CITY OF MIST???

tell me all about your game omg it's my favourite ttrpg ever

YES WAIT DO YOU ALSO PLAY CITY OF MIST THATS FUCKING AWESOME TELL ME ABOUT YOUR GAME

all of our party is greek myths, except for this one dude who I'm not really sure what's up with, he has flying carnivorous bunnies and it's cool though

my character is lexi/lex, who you probably saw on arfight cause I submitted her there and I assume that's how you know I play city of mist, but she's the rift of Atalanta, which is uh. hold on a sec I dunno how to summarize that myth

Atalanta is a huntress who got left out in the woods by her father (a king) as a baby because he wanted a boy. She was raised by bears, devoted herself to Artemis, and swore never to marry, etc. the more famous stories she's involved in are the argonauts & the hunt for the caledonian boar, but there's also a story where she gets into a footrace because of some whole mess with her father where she agreed to marry only if her prospective husband could beat her in a footrace (which she was super naturally good at). she beat all of them, until this one dude thought she was extremely pretty and went to Aphrodite, who was mad about the whole not marrying thing, and she gave him 3 irresistible golden apples that he used to distract Atalanta during the race, and by such beat her.

Because of this, one of Lexi's fatal flaws/whatever they're called for her run really fast ability is apples. All apples in general. She's super allergic to them or something, but she really very much cannot be around apples.

Her logos is that she's a fisherman and lives in main. literally everyone else in the party lives either in the city or in rapid city south dakota, except for her, she lives in maine. She also has a snake named Percy, he's a western hognose snake and he lives in her pocket and I love him.

The way atalanta's myth transferred into Lexi's life is that she was, for a couple years, raised by actual bears (they're called the lesbian bear moms). she also did varsity track, which goes with the whole running thing atalanta's got, and has an extremely crappy relationship with her parents but she has the bears so it's okay! (it's not really okay but she has bigger problems. so many bigger problems the trojan war has decided to restart itself)

She gets shot. so fucking much. like in pretty much every direct fight we've had she's gotten shot, I think, except maybe the last one which I'm still kinda shocked by (everyone else got shot, though)

Uhhhh as for the rest of the party: there's the rift of orion, her name is antigone and she's awesome (she was linked in the art fight thing for lexi so you might've seen her, she's played by @zinabug); the rift of hector, his name is cole; the aforementioned mysterious bunny man, his name is kitch; and the rift of odysseus, olly. he kidnaps people! they're all SUPER COOL

[s-che]

it would be so silly goofy if you hired me to write ur ttrpg

haha haha haha unless ?

jokes aside hey i am in grad school and uhhhh need to make rent and also seriously i love working with people on their projects more than anything else in the world maybe. not anything but you know what i mean. i've had some really great experiences w/ commissioned work lately and i want to do that more!

if you don't know the kind of games i tend to do, you can check them out here! i like to think i'm pretty good at thinking about community & survival & queerness & magic & the limitations of the possible. thats what they let me into grad school for, anyway.

anyway, yeah! i can write, do feedback, edit -- the whole deal basically. my rates are fair and im glad to negotiate them depending on the size of your project and budget. it would be sooooo funny if you messaged me about them. it would be crazy. it would b

11, 15, and 51 for the ask game!!/nf :3

Ooooh yippie!!! Thank u for the ask!!!1!1

11. Have you ever had a change in hosts?

We've switched hosts a few times now, maybe three times I think? The first was [REDACTED], she was sort of...I don't want to say the original, but she was very young and sad and confused. Then we had Alex, who was more angry than sad. They were host from about 2019-2021 and are now dormant. Then we had Eddie, who's still around a whole lot, but isn't host anymore. He's cool. He likes cooking (which is good because no one else in this house does lmao). Aaand now we have me (Duff).

15. Current fronter(s), share some info about you!

Okay, so I (Duff) am an alien (like our pfp) and, what else, I drive a beat-up flying star-van in headspace. I might draw it one day (we suck at drawing vehicles lol), but for now just picture a very beat-up rusty orange van with dark blue speed stripes...it has little plane wings on the sides too, in between the wheels. My species also like...photosynthesises but from...music instead. Pretty cool.

YAYAYYAYAYAY OKKKKK im Scottie (HI GUYS!!!!) ummm I like writing, doesnt matter if its actually good or if its shitty badly written fanfic like My Immortal LOL.....um i also rly like the downtown fiction, go check em out if u like pop-rock and like.....2010s shit. theyre rly cool!!!1111 I also LUV making kandi!!1!1 ^^

51. Current fronter(s), describe your aesthetic!

Duff: Think 'Guardians of The Galaxy'....that's me. Also like...just aliens and space in general, brightly coloured leather jackets, DND type things, spaceships and futuristic shit but like....cassette tapes and vinyl records. Lots of blue, hot pink and red!

Scottie: OH HELL YEAH k so im like....emo-scene-ish?? Like um...skinny ripped black jeans, beat-up vans and converse, worn-out band tees, side-swept hair, 2 much eyeliner, black and blue nail-polish...uhhhh fingerless gloves, lots of kandi, layered belts, u get the idea!!!!11 OwO

||Muses in this drabble||

Taz Hellion, Kinie, , Daichi/Eito belongs to my friend and amazing rp partner@chunibyo-x-sorcerer that is a side blog owned by @demon-blood-youths

Ryomen Sukuna, Yuji Itadori, Megumi Fushiguro, and Nobara Kugisaki belong to Jujtusu Kaisen but also to me due to rping them as muses. While the same for Miko Yotsuya, yuria niguredou nd Hana Yurikawa from the anime series/manga series Mieruko-chan but also to me due to rping as them as muses.

((Note: This drabble will have heavy grammar mistakes and errors but this was written for fun. I hope you understand but also enjoy please.))

Today was a day off for the sorcerers today!

Right now, everyone was either hanging out or resting up after a long week of missions after missions. Seems the curses were lively this last past week but it was nothing for our group. So right now, they were on their day off and now was thinking of what to do.

Kisho Hashimoto was reading something oh his phone but was wondering on what they should do today. With the missions done after last week it seems nothing else was busy at the time.

"Hmmmm..."

"Ummm you okay Kisho?"

He blinks to look up seeing Yuji Itadori checking on him since everyone else was relaxing together in their dorms. He was coming to visit him along with Megumi who was eating something.

"Ummm I'm fine Yuji don't worry. Just a bit bored is all." He laughed only to see Yuji think about it.

"Well, you do have a point since everyone is still tired from last week or just resting up. I hear some were taking long naps or walking off campus grounds to do something. I figure Megumi would but he is still here." he points seeing Megumi having his arms crossed hearing that.

"I'm right here.."

"I know."

"Uhhhh anyway, even if that's the same. It's still a bit boring though. I'm sure we can think of something to do right?" he asked seeing Yuji think a little along with Megumi.

"Well, how about we head out to do something fun? For us boys!" he said and yet Kisho thinks a little bit.

"Didn't we do that last time?" he asked seeing Eito resting on the pillow near by while having a sunbathing nap. The sun rays were really nice.

"He's right, we did that already....we been doing that for a while. And right after yesterday when Taz's friends visited again. That training session was nuts." Megumi still can feel the training...and the destruction that came with it. Her friend Ink was a monster in training but it was a good help. Even the others like Jinx was crazy given with her black hell flames that really was crazy! Yuji didn't mind but he did find it amazing that most noticed how flushed he got even with her smiling.

"Oh yeah....then what do we do?" He asked as the two were thinking even with Megumi shaking his head to see them wondering about it.

That's when Yuji had a idea.

"I know! How about some video games. We can some small tournament together! Heck, we could even play with the girls if they wanna join." Yuji suggested to see Kisho thinking about it. He wasn't sure about that but he did know Taz plays video games sooooo...that might work.

"Well, we can ask them and see if they want to. It could be pretty fun!" he said.

"Then lets go and find them. Come on Megumi, wanna join!?" Yuji asked seeing him look at Yuji hearing this.

".......Depends. Knowing how crazy video games get...is that even a good idea?"

"Oh come on! It'll be fine! So come on!" he laughed before grabbing Megumi and drags him along with Kisho following after picking up Eito who was relaxed. So they went to find the girls.

~~~~Meanwhile with Taz and the girls~~~~~

"So you think with t..this..I can maybe get used to that move?" Miko blinks holding the controller with Taz nodding. She along with Nobara, Yuria, and Hana (who's visiting) were showing her about video games.

"Yeah! If you get used to the game play this game is pretty fun. Just takes time." she said but Miko understood to nod. She will have to get used to that in a while.

"I always did enjoy a good session game of smash this is too much fun!" Nobara laughed even seeing Kinie sitting on Taz's head seeing the game. She already had a turn but was excited wanting to play more.

'I still am glad that we can have fun just like this. So relaxing..' she hums even with seeing the girls still playing. However, that's when a knock was heard making Taz blink.

"I'll get it!" she hands Nobara the controller so she can answer the door. She gets to it and opens seeing the boys.

"HI guys! Hi big brother!" she smiled seeing Yuji wave.

"Hey little sis! What's up?"

"Nothing much. What can I do for you?" she smiled happy that she looks to him.

"Well, we were a bit bored so....did you and the girls wanna play some video games with us?" He asked. "We were trying to think of something on what to do so we figured why not video games? So...did you girls wanna play?" he asked that Taz smiled.

"Sure! We were actually playing some and teaching Miko how to play. We can play smash if you guys want!' she said.

"That sounds fair!" Kisho said happy.

"Yeah, that is fine." Megumi said seeing Taz moving out the way so the guys can come in. They saw Anaconda resting on the chair watching the girls playing the game while Miko watches since she's still learning. When the guys came in, Taz walks over.

"Girls, the guys wanna play some video games with us!"

"Huh? You do?" Yuria asked.

"Yeah. We were trying to think of what to do but..we thought maybe some video games will work." he said with the girls thinking about it. Though, that didn't seem too bad.

"So the game we are playing is smash right? So guys against girls?" Yuji said with the girls looking at one another then back at him.

"If you want it to be. That's fair. We been trying to teach Miko and she's getting the hang of it so yeah! Though, are their any bets you wanna make?" Nobara smiled but the boys blinks.

"Uhhhh bet? No bet just having some fun-"

'That's tempting to ask. Unless you boys are scared to lose to us?' Kinie teased but she knew her king loved a challenge. Even if the boys were looking at them.

"Huh? Were not scared of you girls playing against us!" Yuji said even if Sukuna chuckled from his head knowing he might be wrong about it.

"So? How about it? A few rounds to see...and we can make some silly bets during it. Deal?" Nobara held a hand to Yuji who quickly takes it.

"DEAL!"

"Yuji, are you sure that's a good idea?" Megumi asked.

"Oh come on! It's fine and we will win. We play loads of games, we will win!" he said. "You guys can trust me!" he saw Megumi with a sweatdrop and Kisho blinks to look at him. Well, Yuji was smart but knowing much it depends. So they agree to play a few games.

It wouldn't be that bad.....right?

~~~~~~~~~~~

'Oh sure, it would be easy he says. He said don't worry about it.' Megumi sighed seeing Kisho got knocked out again by Miko who was still in the game with Taz helping her. Yuji was crying since he was out again and Megumi was too. Heck, even Sukuna remained in a few of the games only to get knocked out once.

'Wow, and you are not good at this are you brat?' Sukuna teased Yuji who grumbles.

"Oh shut up Sukuna.."

"Come on Miko you got it!" Nobara said cheering for her with Taz doing the same since she was fighting against Megumi who was still in. Kinie was snickering seeing this knowing the girls might win this again even with Eito, Wilson, and Anaconda watching too. However, they were seeing Kisho about to be knocked out by Miko.

"Oh no no no no no! I won't let you knock me out this time Miko!" he said.

"S..sorry Kisho but you have to fall for my win!" she said still smashing buttons with Yuria even cheering her on.

"Go Miko go!!" they said seeing she was fighting him off with her main as Kisho panics.

"NONONO!!" he tries to fight her back only to get sent flying off the stage seeing he was out. "Dang it!" he said.

"Seems like Kisho out! It's just Megumi, Miko, and Taz!" Nobara said as the two were now ganging up on Megumi who quickly tries to get them away but he was no match only losing moments after that he sees the girls won this round.

"Geez, we lost again! Dang!" Yuji sighed but Nobara saw the girls cheering happily while looking to them.

"Well, you guys lose this round. Not bad though. So, wanna play again?" she asked.

"You know what sure! Lets play again!" Yuji said.

"Yuji, that's enough. We lost a few more than win. I think they proven us wrong. Even shocking how Miko won and she was just learning this game-"

"Ummm..I..I been playing and learning f..for a while w..with Taz and Hana. They been helping me learn more. Even helping Nobara and Yuria too." she said smiling as the boys looks to her then at one another.

"E..even so, we wanna a rematch!"

"If you wish but if you win, we will treat you guys to a nice lunch later on." Nobara said.

"That seems fair. But what if we lose?" Megumi asked.

"...Then Kisho has to take Miko on a date!"

"WHAT!?!? O///O" He was shocked only to see Miko blush as well.

"Uhhh N..Nobara, I don't know about-"

"Oh nonsense so what do you say!? Wanna go!"

"Oh it's on!" Yuji said.

"Yuji, wait! I..I really don't think this is-"

"Trust me Kisho I got this! You will be fine." he said happy that Kisho was nervous only for him to see Megumi pat his back with the girls seeing Nobara ready to play one on one with Yuji. After picking their chrracters they would begin!

The girls cheers for Nobara with Megumi and Kisho cheering for Yuji, even if Kisho was nervous seeing how if he lose he will have to take Miko on a date! He was not sure if he was ready for this yet!

'Come on Yuji please win! I don't know if I'm ready yet!' he cries in his thoughts seeing Miko watching while seeing the match going on. They saw Nobara fighting hard but she saw that the match continues. Later on, the two were now getting close seeing Nobara's main had 2 lives left but she just got Yuji on his last 4.

"Come on Yuji you got this!" Kisho said.

"Told ya I've got this! I just need to knock her out!" As he got Link close to swing a attack at her main Luigi. She quickly blocks only to grab him and attacks. Yuji saw that she knocked him out only to see him fall off stage having 3 lives left.

"Yuji!!!"

"It's fine, I still got it!" he said still trying to fight. Even with Nobara smirks, blocking and fighting back, she even got some health back before seeing the stage suddenly take Yuji out now losing another to have 2.

"YUJI!"

"I KNOW, I KNOW!" He said still fighting but he got Nobara finally to make it her last life. She saw but Kinie was watching with Taz, Yuria, and Miko. They were seeing this was intense that Yuji got hit again with a fire item. Now he was sent flying again only to be on his last life!

Both teams were cheering the two on, seeing who would win this. It was crazy but Kisho was sweating seeing that Yuji was getting taken over! He was going to lose!!

'I can't let him lose..I'm not ready!!' he cries to himself but seeing Nobara beating Yuji up.

'You suck at this Brat!'

"Sukuna, you are NOT helping!" he shouted smashing buttons even with Nobara laughing evil like.

"Give up Yuji, you won't beat me and Kisho will have so much fun on his date with Miko!" she laughed beating Yuji more. With them still fighting Yuji was close to losing but Eito was hooting with the other two. However, as soon as he looks, he saw Nobara laughing to stun Yuji seeing Link now in a stun phase.

"Now, you are mine!" she laughed about to deliver the finishing blow!

Just as she was about to do that, the game suddenly shuts off.

"....HUH!?!?" The teams blinks to look wondering what caused that to see some curse like possom unplugged it.

"WHAT IS THAT!!" Nobara said.

"...I..Isn't that a curse?" Miko asked but the other two knew who it was.

"You again!? How did you get out of your cage!" Megumi said seeing the possom like curse hiss at him before dodging when he tries to catch him. The other 3 Eito, Anaconda, and Wilson was confused seeing the curse hop on Kisho's face scratching his face again.

"OW! STOP THAT YOU LITTLE- OW!!" he shouted trying to get it off his face. The other girls were confused seeing this but saw the possom hiss a little to hop on the ground now running off while Megumi goes to chase it.

".........."

"Sorry about that! He's been a lot more grumpy since we brought him back. Though, he's learning to be nice...maybe?" Kisho said happy even if the groups blinks to sigh.

"Even when it scratches up you guys faces?" Nobara said.

"Yeahhhhh..but he's learning...somehow." he said.

"Ehhh....." By being good is scratching the boys. The girls don't get scratched by the possum raccoon like curse but he just nuzzles against them. Though, the boys get scratched up. That sucked but...

"Sooooo does this mean it don't count?" Kisho said to Nobara.

"Hmmmm...No, we can play again if you like Yuji-"

"Naw, I think he's good!" Kisho said quickly even if the others look at him. For a moment, he was laughing nervously still blushing pink that Miko was worried.

"K..Kisho, you alright? I think we have a first aid kit here in my room to fix you up." she asked even if he blushed worse to look away sweating.

"I'm good! No worries!" he laughed nervous even if Miko was worried. The girls sighed even if Hana giggled. Even when Miko sees him wince crying from the scratches.

"He seriously need to take her out one day." she said to tease him that Kisho turns his head to look at her.

"Stop it!!" He said waving his arms quickly but Miko sighed.

"C..come on, I think I have something.. "she said going to get up and goes to take him to her room to fix him up. He was nervous but the others look at each other then at the two.

"You know, ever since you two brought that curse back, he's been popping up a lot. Are you guys being nice to him?" she asked Yuji.

"Huh?! but he tends to scratch us! How is that nice!" he said only to see Megumi come back tired to see the possum like raccoon trapped. It hissed mad at Megumi as he sighed.

"Why did we even bring this monster back....."

"Yeah, why did you bring him back?" Yuria asked confused.

"Because Kisho wanted to see if it's for good....." he said to set the cage down. "Though, it's a work in progress.." he sighed.

"Yeah, we can tell.." the girls said hearing the hissing. However, it seems their video game challenge was done. Though, it's clear to see the girls win. They will still take them out to lunch later. Though, at least Kisho was being treated by Miko who was being careful and even Kisho being speechless.

For now, another day off was fine for them till their next mission.

[zaptap]

getting back into side order (after beating the last of the initial 12 runs a few weeks back)

my primary goal right now is to keep getting prlz to get more hacks, but i'm also going to sort of focus on trying to get the weapon-exclusive chips that don't match the weapon's color bias. so i've turned off the color-chip bias hack and i'm focusing on vending machine and floor reset hacks. the idea is that since these are harder to get, i might end up getting 5 of some of the others as i go, so it'd be better to do these first

decided to start with extra dodge rolls on the dualies and.... well, did you know you can use cloud saves to basically make a backup before doing any floor in your run? you can just restore the save to get back there. no downside or anything. nintendo just lets you do this. im paying $20 a year so i should be able to though

your run is actually based on a seed that's determined when you start, so you can't exactly reroll floors--the same floor choices lead to the same things, and vending machines always sell the same things too. same applies to vending machine and floor resets. BUT you can reset a floor to change all of the floors after it. and vending machine resets actually do that too. so basically there's a bunch of branching paths for each choice that you can make going along, and you can take advantage of cloud saves by basically going back and exploring a different branch

so less than halfway into this dualies run, i ended up getting extra dodge roll at a vending machine, i buy 3. i don't run into any more though, and then at floor 27 (which has a vending machine) i'm like uhhhh ok i'm running out of floors for this. so i make a backup and keep coming back to that floor

and wow even with those 3 floors there was a lot of options. going through the floors normally and then resetting 29 as much as i could afford (hoping to get double there), resetting the vending machine on 27 and checking the later floors, resetting the vending machine on 27 twice and checking the floors, or 3 times, or 4 times, or 5 times, or 6 times (this was about as much as i could afford). kept doing resets until i couldnt afford it and then closing the game and restoring my save

i tried so many things. i played the same floors so many times. i think i went through this for like 2 hours. i was getting tired of it. best i ever saw was one dodge roll chip on floor 29 which doesnt do me any good because i needed 2 (i have double-chip rate maxed btw. i saw 2 of other chips there instead several times)

i think ultimately what i did was reset floor 27 and pick an option, reset floor 28 and pick an option, then keep resetting 29 a bunch (it kept giving me vending machines) and then when i was down to like 3.5k membux i was like. you know what. i feel good about this vending machine let's try it. and then i reset that once and got the 2 extra dodge roll chips i needed

i did it.... now i just have to do it for the other weapon-exclusive ones that don't match. horizontal slash speed on splatana, splatling barrage on splatling, brella cooldown on brella, rush ink coverage on brella/roller/brush. 2 of those are on brella so maybe i should try that first? idk.

i wasnt even necessarily trying to get extra dodge roll here, just get prlz, and i spent so many membux that i didnt end up with as many (i still need one more hack each for floor reset, membux reward, vending machine discount, but i'm at least getting a couple floor reset from this run's prlz)

[fadebolt]

Soooo uhhhh, I'm about to go on vacation in two days. Don't worry, I'll still be doing the room analysis posts, and I will still probably post an AF attack or two, I'm mostly just bringing it up cus.... nostalgia. (Yes, I'm about to reminisce on my times in the RW community - I've been trying to keep these kinds of rambly posts to a minimum, but this felt like a pretty good time to go off about this)

Because the first time I discovered Rain World was two years ago, when I was also about to go on vacation very soon, and Htwo's video about the AI of the game caught my eye.

I was like "Wait, really? This looks like one of those old retro games, how the hell can it have a more complex AI, than some of the newer big games that are doing real fancy things with them?", so I just had to investigate, and something about the visuals, and the creatures, and the things described in the video.... it really mesmerized me, and I just had to learn more.

Which I did during vacation, checking out some spoiler free reviews and recommendation videos (as well as official stuff, including the DP scug previews, which sounded real interesting, even from a newcomer's perspective), as well as tons of fanart.

Of course, I did spoil myself a bunch in the process, but it all completely lacked context, so it didn't really mean much. I especially liked a guy called something along the lines of 'FlameFlower' (I'm sort of blanking on it, sry), as they had a real neat art style, and a lot of their comic pages were made traditionally, which impressed me a lot. It was nice and sweet and cute, and I liked the humanoid robot villain who I assumed to be the artist's personal interpretation of what the higher intelligence in this world might be like (yeah, I assumed the concept of an iterator was exclusive to that comic which is real silly, but still xd).

Anyways, I was eager to try out this difficult game filled with weird creatures, where you'll need to be patient and clever, but also skilled and quick witted, which I immediately did, after I traveled home.

I also quickly joined the Discord server, mostly just to view more art, but to my delight, there were a bunch of channels specifically for newbies on their first playthroughs, where I hung out a bunch.

Afterwards, I've mostly just been playing for the next couple months, having a blast while also struggling a little here and there, especially when I got to try Hunter.

I wasn't really doing anything with the community, outside of maybe chiming into a discussion or two. I had ideas, but I sorta lacked motivation. Sharing stuff in Discord gallery chats is not overly fun, as there's rarely any interaction (outside of a few random reacts - a lot of which comes from people that press reacts on literally everything), and the way Discord works makes it very difficult not to start comparing yourself to the other stuff you see, and it really demotivated me, especially cus my skills were waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay worse back then (which is fair, I barely did art before my RW days, but still, good lord do I hate my older stuff xd).

I also just didn't particularly enjoy the vibes of the server too much. Lurking around the chats and looking at the things other people were doing was fun, but I never felt like it would be worth it to try and be a part of that.

Then you know, the new year rolled around, Downpour came out, the game got traction, and everything was getting crazy.

I was still mostly inactive, until my very first art month came up, and I had some fun with it (my skills still being absolutely horrendous, but at least I still had fun :3).

But then something caught my eye - a certain artist doing 'bombs', drawings where the Slugcat designs of many different artists were present. Yeap - I'm talkin' about Pansear!

I was digging around, and I found out that you can get featured by sending a DM, so I gathered the courage to send over a Saint, which was honestly extremely nerve-wracking. Yet the conversation was really pleasant. She actually complimented my design, which felt incredible, and was extremely appreciative of me congratulating her for getting featured in Akupara's Virtual Art Month Museum.

I know that this might sound like a basic everyday thing for most, but for a person with my levels of social anxiety? This was an enormous leap, one that I'm very grateful to have made.

Afterwards, things have finally started happening. I noticed that Pan and her buddies made a new server where they started hosting voice acting sessions for all the comics in their Shipping Container server. So I leaped on the chance to join in, the moment the invites were reopened again, since I always enjoyed imitating the voices of characters, and the idea of me doing the characters myself sounded incredible, especially when they're from a game I love so much.

And from that point onward, I stopped chatting in, or even looking at the overpopulated 'Main World' server entirely, and all my interactions with the community came from that small new server.

Then last year's vacation arrived, where.... nothing really happened, tbh. I was forced to miss out on the Helm fandub, but I had some fun doing colorless Artificer and Rivulet (aka, the first art pieces I ever posted onto Tumblr) on the beach.

But a few days after I returned, I noticed that North was actually starting a new video series, where she would animate Inv's dating sim, and she was looking for VAs on Tumblr, so I grabbed the opportunity, and made an account, so I could upload my auditions.

Yup, the Thanks Andrew dating sim is the reason why this account exists.

Neat, ain't it?

And initially, I didn't really know what to do with this thing, so I was just reblogging, and uploading art, as well as voiceovers, until...

The shipping polls arrived. And thus, my series of daily poll ramblings have begun. Ramblings that have been happening for almost a year now.

And then... I just sort of, kept doing the things I was doing, y'know. I finally got my wish, to be a part of a community I adore, even if just a minor one.

The vacations weirdly represent huge moments for me, as I found out and fell in love with the game during one, while my Tumblr was created immediately after the one that followed.

It's weird to look back on these last two years, and just how much has changed. Despite the downers that the community has had as of late, this was still a really pleasant journey, getting to have fun with others, and make them happy, while they also make me happy in return.

And I suppose this year's vacation can sort of represent my Artfight being created? That was also a pretty enjoyable experience, though it doesn't quite carry the same weight.

I dunno, not every year needs to be a special one. Though the last two have undoubtedly been that way! :D

rjk hunger games au is SO GOOD i would read the hell out of that if u ever decided to write more. but also the everlark gifset you reblogged could definitely be a concerned and shaken roy (katniss) latching onto a recently revived and sarcastic jamie (peeta) who’s just casually joking about how he died. and maybe keeley takes on the role of finnick in this scenario, or she’s part of the resistance and supporting from afar.

how do you think jamie won his games? when and where do rjk figure things out for the first time? i don’t think i’m going to be able to stop thinking about this.

The book lines go so hard for that scene too: "You were dead! Your heart stopped!" *Katniss losing it* Peeta: "Well, it seems to be working now" vabvbjcsbj SIR. 1) generally a scene of all time and 2) very excellent content for Roy/Jamie AU yes yes.

I'm not sure how Jamie would win his Games because I want him to do something rebellious :) Maybe in keeping with the THG plot, he orchestrates the Katniss & Peeta berries movie only without the romantic angle. WHAT IF Sam is also in the arena and they become allies... Except Sam at the beginning is like "I am not going to last long here. I cannot kill anyone, I cannot." and Jamie is like...fuck that I'm not just letting you sit here until someone comes along and kills you wtf. So after that they have an unspoken agreement that Sam will forage for them because he's really good at identifying edible leaves and berries and Jamie will do the fighting if/when it comes to it. then when it comes down to just the two of them Jamie is like okay Sam i'm sorry but you have to kill me now. and Sam is like absolutely not. did you not hear me when I said I'm not going to kill anyone? It's okay Jamie do what you need to do. but Jamie of course says ABSOLUTELY NOT and comes up with the berry scheme!! I simply think a hunger games AU deserves a samjamie bestieism side plot.

as for rjk... Roy has isolated himself for sooo long after winning and meeting Keeley and secretly fueling the resistance with her as the liaison has finally given him a sense of purpose again 🥺 so those two are already getting close when Jamie is reaped, and Jamie again is friends with Keeley from school and because she gives him tasks to do to help the resistance. Jamie is still so young, so most of the others in the resistance dismiss him but Keeley sees how desperate he is to help and is like, well why shouldn't he? she's always seen his potential :) So they are also already very fond of each other. and roy and jamie are in their enemies to friends arc because that needs to be the royjamie dynamic in any universe, i don't make the rules. Roy finds Jamie annoying because he's always getting in the way. also in the early days after they meet Jamie tries to give Roy hunting tips just to be snarky lmao and roy is like absolutely fuck you i've been hunting before you could hold a bow. Also Jamie is relentless and nagging and won't leave roy ALONE to his own peace and loneliness in the victor's village. So by the time Jamie is reaped they have a tentative friendship and care about each other but would never admit it.

Then Jamie comes back and is obviously extremely traumatized from the experience, especially since his ally-ship with Sam had him doing all the fighting at the very end. Roy can uhhhh relate to that. more than a bit. So he takes Jamie under his wing in the Victor's Village and starts showing up to check on him and cook him meals. they learn so much more about one another and help one another to heal. Keeley continues to be their access point to the resistance in the District, because she's a bit more under the radar to the Capital since she was never in the Games. It's dangerous for Roy and Jamie to get too involved, but they help Keeley wherever they can and it basically becomes all three of them living together in Roy's giant victor village house. I'm imagining this as a slow burn of like, a year or two after Jamie's back home before they even get together. once they do though, the Capitol finds out about it and starts sending Jamie more and more often to the Capitol :( the only silver lining is that Jamie at least gets to see Sam on these trips, as Sam is another Capitol fan favorite. And Keeley and Roy get angrier and angrier back home about, well, everything but it's so much worse now that Jamie is so relentlessly being forced into prostitution. So yeah, they start getting reallyyy risky with resistance activity. Cue: Quarter Quell :(

Introductory Post

Uhhhh... Hello! Greetings! and Salutations! random person of Tumblr! You've stumbled either on this post, or you decided to check on my Blog in whichever case, Hi, make yourself at home.

I am Bartibit, or Barti - A random internet person who wanders around the interweb, trying to find the place that suits them. Shy in person, Introverted from hell and back, trying to find non-toxic side of the internet. I've only recently stumbled on here, quietly watching to see if this site is to my liking after... whatever the fuck is happening on Twitter / "Nobody will call it 'X' Musk". Yes, I'm a Twitter Refugee (woe me). And from so far I've observed, I really like it here, so this post is more for me, finally breaking ice.

I actually have a lot of interests, so follow me at your own discression, I will be unapologetically me, I will vent, I will post about my interests, I will make typos, I will share my accomplishments, I will post random sketch once in blue moon. I will randomly fixate on some series, I will post about my thoughts. Maybe you'll find something new, I don't know. I will be fucking random because my mind does not know how to segue naturally. I will probably have reflex on liking instead of reposting which I'm sorry about, I will fight the demons of not reposting.

I am a digital artist, mainly doing some silly doodles and seldom full pieces. I drawed comics in my addolecense instead of studding, making me also interested in storytelling. I dabbled in flash cs6 animation, video editing, writing reviews/video essays (i'm kinda bad at them) and making source maps for TF2 and CSGO.

I also play a lot video games, like I am obsessed with this medium; I love it, it's my entire personality because it carried me through a lot of hardships. I mainly play on PC, as I find it the most comfortable, most flexible and I already have most of my hobbies be tied to computers.

I also have interest in computers and coding (I can do basic C/C++ stuff), currently studing computer science, I like math. Maybe want to make games one day; I am interested in game design, design decissions and discussion - I just find it neat!

I like stories, like everybody else lol Movies, Series, Animation, Anime, Webcomics, I even look after good unique stories in video games.

Movies or series I'm obssesed over? here they are, again, in non specific order:
