#stealth games my beloved

[fluffypichu876]

Alright, I have finished Dishonored! Such an great game, and I loved my time with it! Everything about it felt extremely polished (wonderful atmosphere, tight controls, diverse stealth gameplay, interesting lore), but the level design in particular stood out to me. The levels are full of alternative paths and open many possibilities for the players to experiment around. The secrets and optional tasks are actually fun to find and complete, since they have actual impact on the mission as a whole. Every mission is filled to the brim with subtle enviromental storytelling, and you can find an insane amount of detail pretty much everywhere you go. You can discover so much about this world if you explore the game well-enough. It's honestly amazing.

I'm glad there's still DLC and a sequel for me to enjoy, otherwise I'd be feeling really empty right now xD

"Shall we gather for whiskey and cigars tonight?"

"Indeed. I believe so."

(that shit was driving me insane lol)

*ੈ✩‧₊˚ @vodka-glrl request: UMMMM GA MING GA MING GA MING!!! CAN WE GET A GA MING X READER OUT HERE!? So the whole thing is the reader comes from a rich family who kinda doesn't approve of her (yup fem! Reader if you're comfortable) and ga ming dating so they don't allow her to go watch gaming perform during lantern rite so gaming is just so sad during the whole performance but the reader sneaks out of the house so she could go watch him!! :3

*ੈ✩‧₊˚ HIIII!! Omg yes!! I really hope I got Ga ming somehow right because gosh I adore this boy but then again, I dorn have experience with writing for him yet.

Fem!reader wasn't really any problem so hope you like it! Also one-shot format because I felt like it's better like that!

*ੈ✩‧₊˚ fluff

It was finally day if the Lantern Rite and Ga ming was bouncing from excitement when he thought of tonight's performance! Not only because he loves pe forming but also and mostly because his beloved will come to watch him!

You said yesterday that you'll do your best to come, in fact you promised you wouldn't miss it for the world! He knows how your parents are and he knows he should probably not have this much hope... but somehow he just couldn't. It's like your presence was sure already and he wanted to make it the best performance of his life yet so you'll be only proud of him! Who knows? Maybe he'll even steal a kiss or two for his good work?

But when he finally entered the area and jumped high above the audience, looking for you. He didn't saw your eyes, your hair, your clothes, nothing! You didn't come after all... Big smile on his face was washed away for a second. But it was quickly replaced with sadder smile, he may be disappointed but he won't make this moment sad to others because of his own feelings!

"(Did her parents really were this forcing? It's just one performance... and on Lantern Rite... I made sure to practice this play thousands of not millions of times too!)"

You on the other hand, had your stealth mission! You could see in distance lights of Lantern Rite and hear loud music, accompanied with cheering of the people. You knew you were running late.

With even more motivation, you finally jumped from the window onto the tree nearby and carefully for down with it's help. And when you did, you ran towards the event like you never did before. You honestly didn't care if your hair will get messy or if you get sweaty, all you wanted right now is to see your boyfriend's performance and not make him feel like you abandoned him on this special day!

"(Oh please let it be a long show... so I can come at least for the ending..!)"

Performance kept going, Ga ming had many glimpses at crowd, hoping he just didn't notice you and you're actually there somewhere! During one of these peeks... at the very end of performance when he almost lost his hope, he noticed you in the crowd! He noticed how you were panting from tiredness but also smiled brightly upon hearing him perform, leading to bright and honest smile return to his face.

It was a big part now... and he made sure to catch up for precious part of the performance and make it the best part yet! He didn't thought much of it at the moment but he probably wanted to help you see what you missed too! And maybe get some praise after the show~

When it was over, he carelessly took his costume off and ran towards the crowd, looking for you.

"Y/N! You came in the end!"

He immidietly hugged you upon seeing your face. His embrace contained all emotions he felt, being both happiness and expressing how much he missed you.

"Of course! My parents tried stopping me but there was no way I'd miss your performance! It was just so great! I felt the shivers on my body... in a good way of course!"

You then leaned to give his cheek a little congratulations kiss. He deserved it and you wanted to show a bit of affection after being so late too.

He for one squeezed you tighter in response for a short while before letting go to not hurt you accidentally. And this night is not over yet so he wanted to get out of this as much as possible!

"Alright~ Why won't we go get some dim sum since we're together now? My treat!"

"Oh absolutely! You know I can never say no to that!"

Both of you were eager to spend time with each other and probably a bit hungry so you arrived in no time! Of course holding hands on your way, as well as inside of the restaurant~

@bleachtheidiot @vodka-glrl - come get your dim sum lover!

[crystallizedtwilight]

Do the names LSBs parents gave them have any significance or meaning/reason they chosen those in particular?

ohhh !! One of my friends just asked me this !! (copies and pastes)

Lock -  Eli (ee · lai)

Lock’s parents named him Eli because they were stealth hunters in the deep forests that stalked wild game, often by using trees to climb or hide. They valued things like swiftness, accuracy, and skill. Eli (meaning “elevated” or “high”) was a favorable name because, if one has the higher ground during a fight or hunt, they are at a favorable advantage. Fittingly, Lock has a natural tendency to climb to high perches—trees, roofs, anything elevated that helps him feel safe, hidden, and like he has the upper hand. He lives up to his name.

Shock - Amaranth; also called Amara or Amy by coven (a · mur · anth)

Shock’s coven bestowed her the most prosperous name they could think of. As witches, her coven saw the immense value in herbs and flowers as they were able to make powerful potions from them. They named her Amaranth (meaning “the unfading flower”). They hoped, with such a powerful name, she would grow up strong and resilient. Additionally, the nicknames they occasionally shortened Amaranth to— Amara (“everlasting”) and Amy (“beloved”)—also expressed their hope that Shock would live a full life always knowing she was loved.

Barrel - Brayden (bray · den)

Barrel was named Brayden (meaning “broad" or "broad valley”) because it is a name that references the Earth. Since ghouls make their life by digging into the earth, burrowing into grave soil, descending into tombs and re-making small "valleys" of their own, they thought it was fitting for Barrel to have a sturdy name that connected him to the earth somehow. To dig a "broad valley" meant he would would prosper as a hearty, nourished ghoul.

Neon Glow

[Bryce Lahela x Olivia Hadley Masterlist] 

Pairing: Bryce Lahela x Olivia Hadley (F!OC) Book: Open Heart Word Count: ~ 600 Rating/Warnings: general, no warnings

Synopsis: Bryce and Olivia enjoy some fun during laser tag with their friends.

This absolutely gorgeous art of my beloved Bryce and Olivia is by the incredible and lovely @callmebeem. I've been holding onto it for a bit so I'm glad I could finally share it! 💙���🩵

Olivia took care with every step, analyzing the chaos surrounding her to inform her next move. She wasn't one to take big risks that resulted in glorious eliminations. No, Olivia's game was more subtle than that: stealth and strategy. It was her only chance to survive this. 

His silhouette illuminated by the pulsing lights pulled her from her thoughts. Olivia clasped her hands over her mouth to stifle her laughter as she turned a corner to find Bryce dramatically flipping over blocks and obstacles in the maze for no purpose other than his own enjoyment. Her heart swelled at the sight. Yet, she didn't have time to dwell on him as footsteps padded closer behind her. She tucked down an alley, hiding behind a pillar, narrowly avoiding Jackie who was on the hunt for her next victim. 

Olivia peeked around the structure once she heard Jackie pass by. Lifting the plastic gun in her arms, she pulled the trigger, sending a light beam straight at the back of her vest. 

"What the — Lahela, was that you?! I'm going to get you for this," Jackie hollered, turning back to see who had tagged her, but Olivia had already slipped quietly away, already settled on where to go next.

Bryce's eyes widened as an arm shot out of the darkness, tugging him into the shadows. "What're you doing?" The words tumbled from his lips.

Before he could finish the thought, Olivia backed him into a corner, hidden from view from those dashing past, looking for a new target. Her body pressed against his, her arms snaking around his neck, pulling his lips toward hers, kissing him hungrily.

His brow quirked up at the sudden public affection. It's not what he expected, but he'd never turn down the taste of her lips.

Neon laser beams cut through the dimly lit, fog-filled room. The flashes of light illuminated the indoor maze surrounding them. Their friends' laughter and assured taunts bounced off the barriers and partitions as they dashed through the space, no wiser to the couple hidden in the recesses. 

"Not that I mind," Bryce breathed between kisses, not wanting to part. "What's gotten into you?"

"What can I say?" Olivia tipped her head back, letting the blue glow of a light passing by illuminate her face. She chewed the corner of her lower lip, her fingers dancing over the vest across his chest. "This look is working for you." 

"I couldn't agree more." Bryce tossed his head to the side, flipping his hair back. "Do you think they'll let me wear it in the O.R. after I become Edenbrook's Laser Tag Champion?"

"I don't think that's a thing..."

"Yet!" 

"If you say so... now, where were we?" Olivia grabbed his collar, guiding him once more back to her lips. The pair hummed in satisfaction as the brilliant glow of the neon world around them faded into the background. 

His hands settled on her waist before drifting lower, squeezing her curves as the kiss became more heated. 

Olivia raked her hands down Bryce's chest. Her eyes flickered open, checking to confirm she had him where she wanted him. With a swift movement, she pressed her gun against the target on his vest. "Gotcha," she breathed against his parted lips as she pulled the trigger. 

His vest vibrated, signaling a fatal hit. "I can't believe you used me like that!" His mouth fell agape before pulling into a widened grin. "I'm so proud of you!" He lifted her into his arms, kissing her again as he spun her around before lowering her back down again. 

Her face warmed as she tried to recompose herself. 

"Now, go get 'em, tiger!" He playfully tapped her butt. 

Olivia turned back, stealing one last look. She blew him a kiss and snuck back into the shadows, waiting for her next opportunity. 

A/N: Not edited...This has been a WIP for over 2 years. 🙈 There really is no reason or excuse for it, but here we are... I'm hoping if I can get through a few old wip my brain will let me create something new again.

Lose everything

(Loosely based on the fact Mufasa is adopted and Teka or Scar is technically heir to the throne)

A/N: it's been like two years since I've written for TWST, I just haven't been interested in the game that much but I still hold a special place in my heart. Just a small snippet

Leona remembers the sad stares the wet maids gave him when he was younger. The stares would get worse as he grew up.

Leona used to look up to his brother, that was before he heard the many whispers in the court.

"What will happen when he is older?".

"Do you think-".

"Oh shush you too!  It is forbidden!".

As the nosey child he was, he would practice his stealth skills by eavesdropping on the servants.

"Whatcha doing Leo-"

Leona ignored Falena, his eyes watching the servants from below.

"Hmm, Mama said it is rude to spy-".

"Hush! You'll give up our hiding spot!".

The two boys huddle close, watching from above as the servants work in the garden, idly speaking with each other.

"Why are we watching?"

"Not watching brother, learning".

"About?".

Leona got quiet, before pointing at one of them, "She is having an affair with the cook-"

Falena gasped,  "leo!".

Leona moved his hand, pointing at another, "He is from the queendom of roses, on the run from his family. He ran away here with his beloved".

Falena raised his eyebrow, "...how do you know all of this?".

"I like to listen to people talk". Leona looked at his older brother, "I also learned that people talk more when "You're sleeping".

Falena giggled, "Is that why you "sleep" in the garden?".

Leona held up his finger to his mouth, "Shh". Before giggling.

The two boys were very close, but as they aged they grew closer apart. Leona quickly learned that those hushed gossip that was juicy most of the time, if you listen to the right people, that gossip can be about you.

When Leona realizes he will never have his own throne, he is devastated at first he understands the reasoning but one night he walks past his parent's room, hearing familiar hushed whispers.

"It's becoming that time dea-"

"We are not discussing this-"

"My love- he deserves to know-"

"Silence!"

"... it's been brought to the church's attention... we must do-"

"Falena is our son. End of discussion".

"But he is not the firstborn-".

Leona's heart stopped.  He couldn't breathe, it's like the world stopped all movement.  He couldn't hear anything anymore, he didn't even register Falena's hand on his shoulder.

"Leo-"

"Don't".

Falena spun Leona around to face him.

Leona slapped Falena's hand off him, "Don't touch me-".

Falena gave Leona a look, "Leona what is going on".

Leona glared at Falena, "Did you know?".

"Did I know what-". Falena's face fell, "Oh... oh no no Leo- we-".

Leona felt his chest close, "you knew?". His sense of control shattered, he felt something in him, something heavy, like black ooze.

Falena grasped Leona's shoulders, "Hey, listen to me. We were going to tell you one day- we were".

Leona grasped Falena's wrist, "Don't. Touch. Me".

Slowly sand started to form from Leona's wrist, and a painful scream echoed the hall.

Leona snapped out of his daze, his father pulling him away from his- From Falena.

His mother screamed at him, ordering servants to grab clerics for Falena and then ordering Leona to be taken away.

The whole night was a daze, Leona remembers being locked away in his room for several days. Not even Kifaji visted him... Leona started to miss his boring lessons. Leona craved his father's love and after the attack, the only person who ever defended him... didn't even look at him anymore.

The whispers weren't so sad anymore, they sounded like they were terrified.

"Did you hear what he did?"

"Unquie magic like that? How is that a blessing?"

"Once considered the kingdom's blessing now the kingdom's curse".

Octo Expansion is now over 6 years old... dang...

I know I missed the anniversary by a few days but who cares. It's really weird to think about just how much time has passed since this DLC came out...

I remember asking my parents badly for this DLC because I didn't have my own money at the time and I remember speedrunning this because I wanted to play as an Octoling in multiplayer before I had to go to sleep for school the next morning. And uh... I really wish I took my time with this instead of worrying about being able to finish it in time before I had to go to bed.

This DLC's atmosphere stands above all the other entries in the series, it's weirdly nostalgic atmosphere and beautiful music makes this such a unique experience to play. Even though I didn't grow up in the 80s, I still feel nostalgic for the environments. It's like this DLC teleported my brain back to when I was a kid playing games on the Wii. It's a weird feeling but... I love it.

Also, getting to learn more about Off the Hook as well was incredible. Octo Expansion really fleshed them out and they became incredibly beloved characters in the series because of Octo Expansion.

The final boss too.. actually just the whole finale in general is still probably my favourite out of the entire series. It takes such a drastic turn in tone and it becomes a stealth game for a bit, it's fucking awesome. Battling against Agent 3 and hearing Splattack?!?! OH. MY. GOD. AND SEEING A HUMAN ON SCREEN FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE SERIES THAT ISNT A SKELETON?!?! AND ITS A GIANT FUCKING STATUE HEAD THATS GONNA DESTORY THE WORLD?!?! HOLY. FUCK. THATS INCREDIBLE!!! FLY OCTO FLY AS WELL OH MY GODODODODODOD!!!!

Whoever on the team thought of that idea needs the biggest sloppy toppy ever man I swear to go-

Um... Anyways, to cap it off, I also remember beating Inner Agent 3 and let me tell you. It was the most satisfying feeling I've ever felt in a video game. Period. It took me months to beat them but once I did. I stood up and screamed as loud as I could while my heart was about to combust into flames.

Octo Expansion is one of the best DLCs in gaming, ever in my opinion. Sure some aspects might be overrated but, I don't care, this DLC rules. I love it.

Okay here are my many, many thoughts on Jedi Survivor. I'll keep the spoilers beneath the cut, so all who venture forward have been warned!

The way the game started out was so fun!! The stealth heist! The crew members Cal was teaming up with! Being on CORUSCANT of all places!

I really, really love the gameplay over all. It felt like they took the last game and just improved these tiny little details that I remember from the first one. Tiny things that would seem stupid but also made the game play that much smoother!

KOBOH MY BELOVED IT'S SO MASSIVE SO BEAUTIFUL SO GORGEOUS I LOVE IT THERE VERY VERY MUCH

Also I don't know who decided we should get Fast Travel but I would die for them

I'll probably make a separate post about this, but Cal introduced BD-1 to almost everyone he met-- ALMOST. Not Dagan, and not a couple other people that it was clear he didn't trust. And I for one LOVE that detail

Jedha was so fun other than the fact that I almost died every fifteen seconds

CERE!!!!!!!!! AND MASTER CORDOVA!!!!! WORKING TOGETHER!!!!! WITH THE HIDDEN PATH!!!!!

The Merrical was *chef's kiss* absolutely amazing. They are so April and Andy from Parks and Rec I love them

As a fan of the High Republic books, I thought the Nihil references, along with Dagan Gera and Santari Khri, were pretty neat! He was a fun villain to fight

I really really loved... pretty much all the Greez content? How happy he was to see Cal, and the fact that he had a room set aside for him, and the fact that he ventured back out into the fight just to keep Cal safe. I was mostly neutral on him during JFO, but Battle Scars made me really, really love him, and this game definitely built on that! Also I love that he named his saloon after his grandma (I think?)

Rayvis was an interesting villain! I liked him a lot, especially the final battle with him. They did a good job developing his character

Speaking of villains... I do be feeling some emotions about Cal's fight with Masana Tide. I'm a redemption arc girlie at heart, what can I say? But I see why they did what they did

RICK THE DOOR TECHNICIAN MY BELOVED

THE PONCHO!!!!!!!! THERE WAS A PONCHO!!!!!! I GOT TO WEAR MY BOSS BATTLE OUTFIT TO THE FINAL FIGHT!!!!! IT WAS AMAZING

That one scene where the whole crew was at the campfire together and for like five minutes it felt like everything was going to be okay warmed my heart so much

Yeah I don't remember what happened after that (obvious lie)

I like the new open world features, and the bounties you get to hunt, and the customization and stuff! And those Force tear things are terrifying, but I've completed two of them, and plan to do more as time goes on!

Kriff. Okay I gotta talk about the Horrors at some point. Thanks to my lack of self control, I'd seen some spoilers and knew that Bode was gonna betray us. I didn't know about Cordova (sad) and I didn't know about Bode's secret (SO MUCH SHOCK THAT WAS AN AMAZING PLOT TWIST)

I will say, Cere's final battle against Vader was SO FREAKING COOL IT WAS AWESOME PLAYING AS HER

I also love the fact she set Vader on fire. It's ironic

AULSDKFJLSDKJFLSDKJFLSDKJF AND HER LAST WORDS REALLY JUST SHOT ME IN THE CHEST I'M FINE OKAY I'M FINE (more lies)

Uhhh the Tanalorr plot line was pretty cool! I like the idea of there being somewhere safe from the Empire, to prevent Cal from being killed for plot convinience

Bode's betrayal... yeah I'm not gonna talk about that. I'm not ready, and honestly I have an objectively awful take on the whole situation that no one will like

OKAY THE SCENE WHERE BD-1 REUNITED WITH CAL AFTER HE CHASED AFTER BODE AND JUST LAUNCHED HIMSELF INTO CAL'S ARMS I DON'T THINK ENOUGH OF YOU GUYS KNOW THAT I WOULD DIE FOR THIS DROID

The part where BD-1 was going to scan the trontoshell, and Cal called him BD and THEN BD-1 like he was his mom, full naming him into safety. I love it so much

OH ALSO BD AND KATA'S DYNAMIC IS SO HECKING CUTE

(can you tell I love BD-1?)

I also really, really loved Merrin's entrance. Ten out of ten, the only thing I would change is that Cal should have immediately proposed

Oh! And Merrin and Kata's relationship is so fun I really really like it

Ummm yeah I think I've addressed everything there is to talk about (the most obvious lie yet) so yeah! The brainrot is still strong with me so I might end up posting some screenshots and more thoughts later on!

mmm... chicken kitchen

is everyone in love with Lynne?

I'm actually so obsessed with the Ghost Trick art style

ALL of your medicine????

he's already dead... and they used an electric chair.....

THIS IS SO FUCKED UP

chicken kitchen and execution fates were really fun

man I really want an AAxGT crossover

love how oversized all the objects are

MISSILE IS BACK AHHH and he has different ghost tricks omg... then how did the lamp know about mine

so many mysteries omg I love it

Game Dev Notes

really fun animations and character design

unique gamplay - I love moving thru objects

love the character dialogue - great humor and timing

extra puzzles and challenges similar to professor layton

characters have tons of personality in design and posture

LOVE the cool toned shadows on the sprites

great music

fun and sweet ending credits

Summary

Shu Takumi has done it again (even though this is a remaster lol). What and incredible mystery game with really fun mechanics. There were definitely a couple times I was stumped on what to do or was stuck bc I missed my window of opportunity, but I think it worked well since the puzzles were difficulty and you couldn't just immediately breeze past them all. I also really enjoyed gaining missile's abilities later and having to think of the puzzles in different ways. The characters and animations/sprites were really fun. There's so much personality in them without even saying a word. The game also reveals character information in a really good way as you slowly learn more about the mystery of the game yet also feels like you're getting farther from learning who you are. I also just love how this game is just made with so much love for Takumi's real pets and how Sissel ended up being Yomiel's beloved cat... what a sweet ending oh my god. Each level had such a fun and unique design while also adding a twist to the puzzle, like the stealth level or submarine sinking level. The game also has many unlockable achievements to encourage replayability as well as concept art and other illustrations to unlock. There's so much added to this game and you can really feel the love and care the team put into this game, I hope there are more Ghost Trick games in the future or hopefully even a Ghost trick x Ace Attorney crossover -- I wonder how that would play out esp with Maya's spirit abilities. All in all, such a sweet and fun game. Not too long either. Can't wait to replay it to get all the achievements and make fanart!

Penguinronpa Art of the Day~

Been on a roll today with doing Penguinronpa art- lol

enjoy these next pieces of art and some info of my oc!

Meet my oc, Serena! The Ultimate Cheerleader (On the left, the right is just my sona-)

In the universe, Serena unfortunately doesn't remember anything about herself when it comes to anything EPF/PSA related stuff....the only thing she remembers is that she's a shy cheerleader and is apart of a squad. The only thing she has that's considered a memory fragment of her real self, is her glasses from EPF. Dot and Gary were the ones to have made these special glasses for Serena, however due to her memories being gone by Protobot, she doesn't remember who gave them to her. For some reason though, every time she wears her glasses, Serena gets headaches and has to take them off...But why? Is it because she doesn't need them, or is it her memories slowly coming back to her? Another thing that triggers her headaches, is when the EPF agents talk about any previous missions or memories of their times together. You see, in the EPF/PSA, Serena was considered both a Stealth and Comms type of agent. Her codename; Agent Topaz Shadow. She trained under Dot's watch when being stealthy and going in disguises for certain missions. She even tends to do well in gathering intel while hiding in plain sight. She was even beloved by her fellow peers and praised! This included Gary, Jet Pack Guy, Dot, Paige, and Agent. Outside of EPF, she is a lead cheerleader of a squad who rallies up the crowds with every sport games! Despite her shyness, she will make sure her teammates share the spotlight and make any pep rally worth watching.

(Sketches of Serena~)

That's all the info I have for now, I do plan to do more of this stuff coming up!

Hello! I think I've got a good one. First off, for the sake of this request, let's pretend that Rook was somehow able to attend Camp Vargas (We're reaching SO far, but it's fine) and he has a male s/o who was also attending the camp (whether he's Yuu or not, I'll leave up to you), but he has serious trauma from being kidnapped by a serial killer when he was younger. And so, when Vargas captures and ties him up, the reader starts losing it and having a panic attack, thinking he's going to die. How would Rook react to this?

Hey, Anon! Thanks for sharing your brain rot ideas regarding Rook, because we love our ridiculous and theatrical hunter. Truly a wild set of circumstances I've been presented, but I love it!

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if I saw Rook attending Camp Vargas purely because the man is so athletic. He wields a huge bow with great accuracy and is proficient in stealth. He would easily be able to sneak in and just lay in wait, taking pictures secretly in the trees. The reason he would be there in the first place would absolutely be to take photographs.

Honestly, even without the extremeness of "got kidnapped by a serial killer," I can see someone having a panic attack just in general by getting kidnapped. I mean certain traumas can trigger people's fight, flight, or freeze response and it's a big mood.

What will come next is just me free writing my ideas for this, so here's y'all's present I guess lol. Also, note that I have not actually read the Vargas Camp event, but have a vague idea of what kinda went down during the event lol.

Oh my god, wait, to elaborate on this idea or whatever. I could totally see Rook in the trees, watching the whole kidnapping thing go down. Then, when Vargas would leave to claim his next unsuspecting victim, Rook would drop down next to you. Cooing in your ear that you were safe and are going to be ok, he would cut the ropes off you. Probably holding you close and just rocking you back in forth lovingly while you calm down from your panic attack. You would probably be clinging onto him and his big muscles like a koala. He would be whispering sweet words of affirmations in your ear, as he moves you to somewhere safer. Aka away from the pile of other victims lol...

You know, he would probably cut the other victims free just to cause some more fun chaos and trouble for Ashton. He probably knows that the person behind the kidnappings was Ashton anyway, because Rook is so perceptive... I could totally imagine him deciding to exact a "friendly" revenge on him for messing and actually traumatizing his beloved by telling the other victims that the culprit was Ashton and maybe some other important information to help them successfully get back at their teacher lol. Rook wouldn't have time in the moment to personally get back at him, because he would be too busy taking care of you!! Ahhh, so sweet! We love our hunter boy. Taking care of us and making sure that we feel ok and safe (in his arms lol). I can imagine that there would be cuddles as you hear the sounds of absolute chaos and screaming in the distance perhaps watching the whole fight go down from afar. The kids rebelling and enacting a revolution to overthrow Vargas. Sounds about right. I wouldn't be surprised if that would happen in game low key lol.

Ohhhh, and you know what would be the cherry on the cake? Having the reader specifically thinking and praying (maybe whimpering lol) while they're getting kidnapped that Rook would save them even though he wasn't at camp or whatever. And then having Rook actually show up?!!! *throws myself on the floor and dies* It's such a good idea. Good job, anon, you've successfully murdered me.

You also surprisingly got me to vaguely write/elaborate on your request low key, and that my dude is a feat within itself. Like I'm truly impressed. *applauds you from the floor*

[purgetrooperfox]

Hewwo 👉👈 Do you have any roach hcs or info to share? I don't think I know him

well he's only in mw09 and cod mobile so 😅 there's like. basically nothing to his personality in canon

he's British in mw09 and American in codm iirc but they're two separate canons and it's all very silly

in mw09 he's one of the primary player characters, faceless and voiceless per tradition. he was a sergeant in 141 under Soap, worked a bunch of ops with him and a few with Ghost and a couple with Price. you can find a list on the wiki

I don't know jack about codm but here are some comic panels a friend of mine showed me dkdjdjfjjf only the bottom four are sequential, he's in the mask and goggles

I think he's just an operator skin in the codm game? and it's just a copy-pasted milsim skin that they called Roach? but whatever lmao

I don't know if you care about plot or spoilers so I won't uh. put the big one here

and that's it, that's canon Roach :)

but Roach in my brain,,, ⬇️

I personally am very fond of American Roach. southern Roach my beloved. I think he deserves to be yeehaw. giving him a small town upbringing and no one can stop me

I also think he deserves to be a weapons expert for two reasons. 1) southerner, 2) as the pc he's equally competent with every weapon he gets his hands on. good for him

honestly a lot of how I think about him is influenced by how I play mw09. scrappy in a fight, plenty willing to smack a mf with his gun, deeply sarcastic commentary, aversion to stealth missions, etc etc

more ⬇️

bolt action enthusiast but not much for sniping, etc etc

I also tend to think of him as kind of an asshole! abrasive! not all the time but his tolerance for bullshit is low. he won't throw hands but he'll tear you a new one so thoroughly that thrown hands might be preferable

blunt might be the word I'm looking for. blunt in general, abrasive and snappy on occasion

what else. uhhhh

heavy smoker

the most stubborn bastard on the planet. this is beneficial in wearing Ghost down enough to [redacted]

cough. ghostroach go brr. they rile each other The Fuck Up. Ghost is a proven hardass but what I like about 09 Ghost is that it's fully plausible that he's also got a sense of humor, no one traipses around in that mask with those glasses without a sense of humor

and that combination resonates at the same frequency as Roach from my brain. insults as flirting but they both know it's flirting. refusal to cede an inch of ground when Ghost is in hardass mode. frantic desperation and also quiet, fragile intimacy. so much trust

do you see my vision?

Roach from my brain also has immense, bottomless respect for Soap. that's his captain that's his buddy he'd follow him into hell. blind trust that gets reinforced every time Soap doesn't get them all killed

more wary of Price! Price is a little unhinged! no lack of respect, he's just MonkaHmm squinting a bit. morbid curiosity about just how far he'd go

there's no proof that Roach wasn't around when Gaz was so I'll run with it. Gaz was an inspiration to him. his unhingedness was fine by Roach because crucially, Gaz wasn't a captain. I miss Gaz

anyway I feel like I could ramble on but this is like. the core of him. always happy to chat though!

The last time I completed DA:O was with my beloved dwarven rogue Hilde (may she rest in heroic peace) back in 2016. She gave no shits, basically considered everyone an idiot and romanced absolutely no one. She was the first "original" character I've ever made in a game that actually developed a personality and the tiniest bit of backstory in my head, so she's still extra special to me.

(Why she's in heavy armour here, I have no idea. It was 2016, and I had no idea how RPG builds work. It took me like ten hours to realise that OH YEAH, she's a rogue and can use stealth.)

Anyway! I'm replaying the game again, with another rogue (which is honestly a little hilarious, because I suck at playing rogues, and generally default to mages), and with a plan to a. have Leliana teach him to be a bard, and b. romance Zevran. I wanted to name him something very posh, so he's Augustus. His mabari is called Ruffus.

I have never played Cousland before, so I was delighted to discover he could hook up with a random NPC dude before the game had even properly begun, and I feel like that defined his entire personality for me.

This stupid bimbo rogue has completely developed a life of his own, and I'm honestly just tagging along at this point. I don't think he's going to be a bard (look at him), and he'd probably be better off as being besties and absolutely horrifying menaces with Zevran, rather than romancing him.

He looks like he's 19, a complete idiot (I've had him ask what The Maker is, and what qunari are, and I'm living), and together with Alistair they have about 1.6 brain cells, combined (I'm sure Duncan is very proud to have recruited them both, RIP).

He looks like the type of person who always has at least five people buying drinks for him when he goes out, but he just thinks they're being really friendly.

Morrigan hates him.

I love him.

TC tag game

Thank you for the questions and for tagging me @spudodell.

Rules: Answer the questions and tag other TC fans!

1. "He would not fucking say that" only they did and it's canon. When/who?

Ralph to Laurie in the ‘break-up’ scene, as soon as Laurie starts asserting himself:

"Don't waste time, Spud. It's childish to start an argument about whether we love each other, the moment I go and sit on the other side of the room”

What a horrible thing to say!  Run like the wind, Laurie!

2. Did they kiss in the study? Yes/no + why you are 100% correct about this.

First let’s take a moment to appreciate Spudodell's recent spot of a stealth kiss (can you re-blog that one too, I couldn't find it!) at the beginning of the ‘break-up’ scene when Laurie comes through the door, which to me is absolutely definitive and ground-breaking (not in a good way for me, but still….brilliant detective work!)

On the kiss, I am in the ‘no kiss’ camp, but it is not possible to be definitive.  I feel that Mary plays a lot with echoes, parallels, and contrasts, and for me ultimately I feel the lack of a kiss is meant to be a contrast to other moments in the book, not an echo. 

But what has exercised me more recently is, kiss or no kiss (but especially if there was a kiss), this scene in chapter two really gives me the creeps.  I have been reading around the topic for some schoolboy Ralph fics and Alec/Ralph (watch this space on that one), and it has become ever more clear (Alec Waugh’s commentary ‘Public School Life’ being the best reference on this) that Prefects really were like Gods.  He points out that prefects had almost as much power as but even less accountability than teachers due to the ‘no-snitch rule’.  You can see it in the discussion of Hazell and his confessions, and how contemptuous the schoolboys are of him for 'confessing' (or in modern terms, reporting an inappropriate relationship).

In some ways, a kiss could explain quite a lot about Laurie’s behaviour and attitudes to Ralph in the book.  But to be brutally honest, I’ve had enough of creepy behaviour in men being disguised as ‘romantic’ in heterosexual romances (Mr Rochester, anyone?) and the thought of encountering it in a gay context in such a beloved book is just too much to bear.

So, no kiss for me!  He was still behaving pretty weirdly but that’s understandable in the circumstances.

3. Mandatory question about Ralph's alleged tattoos.

I’m sold on the fic that has him get a tattoo of his sunken ship.  Love the co-ordinates of Dunkirk idea though!  But I think Lux’s one is more realistic.  My reading of that being that he got drunk and wanted to fit in so he got a load of random not-very-good-ones.

4. 53 vs 59 edition: quote a line or paragraph that is better in the edition you like the least.

I favour the ’59 edition, as I broadly feel the cuts make it read better.  But there is one exception.  When Laurie is daydreaming about swimming with Charles, Mary cuts this line:

“Take off your things and jump in."

Apparently skinny-dipping was a step too far for the US audience!  Scandalous!

5. Which TC character would feel right at home here on tumblr dot com?

Bunny but not in a good way.

6. Tag yourself at Alec's birthday party.

I’m Laurie as in sitting in the corner checking out the books.  Not as in going on a rescue mission with some drunken guy.

7. Post a TC meme.

Sorry I couldn’t find the source of this – not exactly a meme but it made me laugh!

8. Easy to talk about who deserved better. Who deserved worse?

Not that I know what happened to them, but Andrew’s relatives who tried as hard as they could to ruin his life, as if his parents dying wasn't bad enough.

9. You can break the fourth wall (at any point in the novel) and say a single sentence to our protagonist, Laurie Odell. What do you say?

I would tell him not to let Dave bully him into leaving Andrew without seeing him.  Because he knows with every fibre of his being that Andrew would not want that.

10. What's a question you have about TC? One you haven't found an answer for yet.

Too many to say.  It’s the unknown unknowns that really get me.

Tagging @gayskogul @telltaleangelina @jeork @alovelywaytospendanevening @black-bentley and anyone else who wants to play and would like to raise their head above the parapet!!

Zafraia Takes Faerun, Version 4.0

Decided to risk choppy play and begin a Tav run with Zafraia Zital, my beloved rogue thief, just so I could get some glamor screencaps of her modded build in its final form (unless I can switch her to Swashbuckler): Mizora's face as a human, sometimes making expressions that everyone's favorite Cambion Lawyer never ever would.

She's getting all the benefits of what I can do on a modded Mac game—double XP, all the dyes, all the camp clothes, all the hidden magic items, the works—to selfishly and impulsively sneak-stealth her way through the whole game, because she's exactly the kind of chaotic neutral Tav who'd upend the snow-globe to become an unholy assassin before blithely peacing-out for parts unknown.

This is Zaf's fourth run (after the first to Act 3.5 and then two aborted follow-ups) and instead of coming up with anything fancy to call it in my own notes (Mizafraia? Mizora's Mask?) I've just decided to snap as much as I can and pare down the best to avoid spamming the feed. So (counting the one above) here's 10 from Days 1-2:

More to come, because (as the kids say) I love her, Your Honor.
