you always land on all fours

#umineko #umineko spoilers #ikuko hachijo #ikukos turn for a more serious piece... the old man has reigned for too long #now. INCREDIBLY LONG INCOHERENT TAGS RANT INCOMING FAIR WARNING HAS BEEN GIVEN:#it makes me so so sad how little discussion there is about specifically ikuko because imho she fits so neatly into a lot of the more #overarching Big Themes of the game in a way that i have not ever really seen people take notice of or point out in a meaningful way #like even just off of the top of my head. the significance of names and what it means to go by a name that's Not Yours (she has like 4+)#what it Means to be a witch how it represents a person's deepest insecurities and flaws & how its at its core a coping mechanism #the fact that it takes two to create a universe and trying to do it on your own anyways has the capacity to bring you intense misery #^ (how she's shown to be extremely dismissive of her own work and skill until a collaborator comes into her life and helps/encourages her)#and even the family/patriarchy/misogyny stuff that is so prevalent in the rest of the game comes back around to her. even her Only Friend #(young&stupid atp to be fair) remarks that shes Weird for being unmarried + the little she does say about her past invites the question of #to what extent her self-image stems from her family deeming her a freak outcast & effectively disowning her while celebrating her brothers #and i have lot in my mind about the witch thing specifically because i think her particular situation is very reflective of what umineko's #entire magic system and fantasy facet as a whole is meant to represent for an individual. from what little we see of (what is presumably)#her Real personality she is shown to be deeply self conscious in a way that is JARRINGLY diametrically opposed to both 1.) what we see in #featherine and 2.) what we see when she is acting as a Public Figure. because both of the above are very much purposeful acts that she is #putting on in order to obfuscate her true self. and i have always been very resolute & adamant about not totally equating her to featherine #not only because im very firmly in the camp of “featherine is the avatar of the Pen Name & tohya is part of her too” but also very much b/c #i feel very strongly that the stark differences between the two are very centrally relevant to her character & her psyche. as is the case #with most other witches featherine's personality traits serve to reveal/magnify a lot of ikukos inner workings by playing on her #insecurities/reversing them e.g. ikuko being very quick to downplay her skill/achievements becomes featherine being the COMPLETE opposite #to the point where she barely registers even other witches as living beings rather than just fun touys. BUT even though i do champion the #ikuko/featherine separation so hard i ALSO think it is purposefully relevant that at first glance the line between them seems so blurry #her introduction implying a more nebulous separation between her reality/fantasy counterpart is i think is an intentional move on her part #like it is part of the front she is putting up when acting as the Author. as opposed to Ikuko the person who we (in a way ironically very #similar to the way that the Real Battler is presumably only shown during the boatscene) only very briefly get to see take up screentime #which even on a meta level lines up very well with her apparent underlying nature as a like. extremely private largely reserved/shy person #hit tag limit but if by some miracle anyone is still reading this thank you... please see ikuko with the love she deserves... ok ily byeee

sorry to bother you but the horror au is giving me brainrot. Do you think any of the peak lords would get an idea of what was happening with SY? If so who would it be?

you don't bother me at all, this is what my ask box is for!!! i love hearing from people and will take any opportunity i can to ramble about my silly ideas<3 i call it ✨️brain nourishment✨️

i have sooo many scenarios for reveals or partial reveals. strap in because i'm going to paint you some pictures~ (post under the cut because holy moly i am a first degree yapper)

1. Shen Qingqiu

shen yuan is sent to deliver something to the qing jing peak lord, but when he arrives, the peak lord isn't home—his head disciple is. this is part of the dating sim aspect where shen qingqiu is the tsundere who lets shen yuan in and makes him tea while he's waiting for the peak lord to return, it's all very cliche and shen yuan is just waiting for it to be over.

however, while shen qingqiu is out of the room, a sudden message from the system tells him to hide. shen yuan hides in the closet, and the thing comes into the room. later, shen qingqiu finds shen yuan hiding, and takes it surprisingly seriously when shen yuan says something got into the house. shen qingqiu pulls his sword, keeps his talismans ready, and does a quick sweep of the house and yard before coming back in. shen yuan looks a bit embarrassed, but shen qingqiu tells him that only idiots think cang qiong is impenetrable, and that whatever came inside isn't here anymore now.

i like the angle with shen qingqiu because it creates this really nice sort of depth where shen qingqiu fears no one will believe him, but he does believe others, especially about things like this. and shen yuan is confronted with the reality that despite thinking the "scum villain" is only awful, shen qingqiu does have some genuine sides and will actually protect him if needed (even if he does "comfort" shen yuan by calling him stupid).

.

2. Mu Qingfang

this is a somewhat similar scenario, but in this one, mu qingfang is actually involved in the mission. shen yuan is tasked with making sure "it" won't discover the two of them, so he pulls mu qingfang along to a bed, pulling the curtains closed and sitting on top of the bed so their feet don't stick out beneath the curtain. shen yuan tells mu qingfang to be very quiet, watching in terror as a shadow creeps along the outside of the curtain, its breathing harsh and rattling.

when the creature is gone, shen yuan tries to talk about it to mu qingfang, but it turns out that mu qingfang never saw it. mu qingfang does believe that shen yuan saw something and tries to ask about it, but it feels more like a "i believe you think you saw something, tell me more" kind of talk they have in psychiatric hospitals than a cultivator taking him seriously on a threat. the system tries to chime in with a few dialogue options, but that only makes it worse and shen yuan leaves feeling like he's crazy and with a -10 relationship points on mu qingfang.

i feel with mu qingfang there's a very delicate line between him believing shen yuan because they do live in a world of sleep demons and shapeshifters, and him having dealt with so many cases of paranoia and hallucinations and such that his first action was to check shen yuan's meridians on a potential deviation.

.

3. Shang Qinghua (airplane)

now this puppy can fit some interesting plot scenarios!! one that i really like is where shen yuan is helping shang qinghua with some of his paperwork (gotta farm that +10 r-points), and he gets a message from the system that they're no longer alone.

[ mission: occupied! ]

objective: do not disturb.

hint: it is already in the room

shen yuan freezes. shang qinghua keeps mumbling about ink stones and illegible calligraphy. shen yuan calls his name, quietly, and tells him not to move. shang qinghua's eyes go wide for a second, and he easily (too easily) agrees.

depending on how creepy i want to make it, one of the options is a companion option where shen yuan is tasked with making sure shang qinghua doesn't look behind the folding screen in the corner of the room.

[ begin countdown ]

objective: companion must not look behind the screen.

shen yuan is pale and his gaze flicks to the screen a few times. shang qinghua notices and asks what's wrong. shen yuan swallows and then proposes they go take a walk outside. shang qinghua is confused at first, and wants to argue, but shen yuan says something about danger and shang qinghua goes really quiet, then agrees to go outside. shen yuan sees how easily shang qinghua agrees and takes a gamble, telling him not to look behind the screen. shang qinghua goes white as a sheet at that, and never takes his eyes off the floor as he practically runs to the door.

at this point they don't know the other's status as a transmigrator yet, but this is the part where shen yuan starts to suspect some things.

as for shang qinghua's part: he knows the player has an extremely dangerous entity attached to them, which is absolutely able of game-over'ing anyone who makes the wrong choice in this universe. when shen yuan tells him not to look, he doesn't look.

.

4. Liu Qingge (& Mu Qingfang)

this is just an angsty whumpy one with a few endings, i just really like the premise. shen yuan is at a quiet wing on qian cao peak when he gets a mission from the system.

[ mission objective: run ]

"it's right behind you"

shen yuan immediately drops everything in his hands and bolts, sprinting down the corridors without once looking back. he runs through the hallway, the courtyards, his heart hammering in his chest. then, suddenly, he's caught mid-step by a set of arms, stopping him: it's liu qingge.

liu qingge asks him what's wrong, what is chasing him? but shen yuan is terrified and out of breath and can barely string a sentence together as he gestures and stammers, "it's—there, right there, i swear—i swear, didn't you see it—?"

[ system message ]

warning: proximity < 03 meters

shen yuan panics and tries to get free, knowing that he has to run before it detects him or catches him or whatever the system envisions it to do, but liu qingge isn't letting him go and it gets into a half-hearted struggle, and because they're on qian cao of course mu qingfang gets involved, but even two head disciples can't calm him down.

it's a little further along into the story, at a point where everyone kind of knows that shen yuan is "paranoid" and prone to "anxious delusions", and they treat him a bit more careful in a way that feels condescending. they're trying to calm him down but shen yuan works himself into a qi deviation with how stressed he is, saying "it" is going go get him while fighting the head disciples to get away, and that doesn't help his case at all.

eventually, while liu qingge restrains him, mu qingfang is forced to sedate shen yuan to keep him from hurting himself, and he doesn't get far enough away to exceed the mission threshold, thus failing the mission.

[ event status ]

mission failed: you were caught

i have a few different paths for this one:

forced reset — the creature got him, he lost, he has to do the mission over, starting again in the qian cao west wing

injury reveal — as shen yuan is sedated, some kind of invisible creature does actual harm to him (depending on what the thing will be; maybe a large scratch on his leg? damage to his cultivation?), which does reveal to liu qingge and mu qingfang that something was really chasing him

punishment protocol — shen yuan loses points or has to accept a punishment from the system for losing a mission.

nothing? — shen yuan wakes up in the healing room with the message still above his head, but the system never explains to him what the consequence for failing is. something happened, but he doesn't know what.

this is also possibly a turning point for shen yuan in the story where he starts trying to fix it himself or get outsider help (which could mean the introduction of a certain demon and his nephew!), because he feels like no one believes him and he's in more danger because of it.

(this could also lead to a point where shen yuan starts to believe he really is imagining it, and ignores a mission on purpose to "prove" to himself it's not real)

(it is real)

(he never ignores it again)

.

i won't implement all of these options, but i did want to share them because i like them all a LOT and i love to share! i'm still tweaking them, but the essence of these will probably make an appearance in the fic!

#i just love the drama of not being believed #or THINKING that others dont believe you bc you know it sounds crazy #sqq believes him but sy is still at the point where he cant see past the scum villain so it doesnt quite register #liu qingge really wants to believe shen yuan but theres simply nothing to fight #hes standing at the ready sword in hand but shen yuan is adamant to hide and liu qingge never even glimpses this thing #shang qinghua likes shen yuan but absolutely H A T E S being near him for this sole reason #sqh knows that thing will be triggered by anything #and he doesnt want to be near when it happens #i also like the idea of zhuzhi lang maybe offering help? or tianlang-jun #tho tbf mans would probably say smth like ''have you tried dual cultivating?''#putting in some funny tags to battle the angst in the post #thank you so much for the ask!!!#svsss #svsss au #horror game au #shen qingqiu #shen yuan #liu qingge #mu qingfang #shang qinghua #svsss horror au

yk, I want Bludhaven’s Nightwing and Gotham’s Nightwing to be different.

In Gotham, obviously there are. A lot more people. There, he is “the nice one” (compared to the others).

In Bludhaven? Blud-worse crime rate than Gotham-Haven, managed only by Nightwing? There’s no fuckin way.

Personally I don’t think it’s. Mainly a conscious decision or smth? Just he does more in Bludhaven and maybe ends up being generally less cheery? Or smth. He’s more willing to be (externally) tired with Bludhaven than he would be with Gotham.

Idk, smth for him to really embody the Terror of Bludhaven title yk? Nightwing is Bludhaven’s Batman; you know like, before robin and everything. He works too hard and he’s something to be scared of. He is Bludhaven’s Batman - just a bit more flippy & quippy (and a lot more friends).

#Nightwing #dick grayson #thoughts ig #I really like the Terror of Bludhaven title I’ve heard around for Dick #and I just like the idea that. yeah. he really is TERROR on Haven’s crime. like Batman was *fear* in the early years for Gotham #dick is a scary motherfucker in Haven.#he’s not to much in Gotham cause he doesn’t have to. yk? like he isn’t a scary bitch in Gotham. not cause he can’t in Gotham/with others #just cause he doesn’t HAVE to.#also he’s a manipulator-charismanaic who keeps his cards close to his chest no matter who/what #love a moment w/ Batfam realizing the diff reputation Nightwing has in Haven #ask a gothamite abt NW? oh uhhhh flippy & quippy. still a damn menace tho.#as someone from the Haven about NW? …entirely depends if they’re like a serious criminal or not.#yes? vitriol. pure fuckin annoyance and anger and definitely fear. even if it’s well hidden in there. def fear #no? oh yk thankfulness - maybe personally some good sentiment; still acknowledgment of his competence.#man that one fic about uhhh like spiderman getting unmasked after the train except it was Nightwing and everyone agrees to keep it a secret #cause that’s THEIR hero? the one who looked at blud-worse crime rate than Gotham-Haven and went. I’ll help. AND DID?#also abt the Blud & Gotham whose worse thing; personally I think it’s. Gotham has crazier crimes; Bludhaven has /more/ crime + gang violence #anyway #that was a lot #dc comics #Bludhaven #Gotham

Pac: Oh man, what is this, what is this, what is this man? Where can I buy this? [Slaps his desk] I'll buy two.

Pac: [Laughs] It's very good man, very good. "I love you, Fítche!" [Laughs] You're going to think the worst, this is the worst phrasing you could think of. Like, I mean– a guy might say 'I love being fit, I love go to the gym,' but it was a certain way… I don't know, in English it seems wrong, right? "I love you, Fίtche" I don't know if that makes sense, right? Because it would have to be "I love fitness," right? There should be the 'ness' there at the end, right? Or am I crazy? My understanding of English there should have been an 'ness' at the end, right?

#Pactw #Pac #TazerMC #Could've been a category 10 Hideduo moment but it wasn't even on the server #Man did NOT have to say it like that he is a MENACE #insane that cc Pac said that before cubito Pac.

I actually really want Eugene to officiate the Varigo wedding because one, it’s not a very official or proper wedding. If anything, it’s something Rapunzel and Varian put together in one week and is essentially just a giant party where they blow stuff up and eat cake. Varian totally asks Eugene thirty minutes beforehand if he will officiate and after five minutes of sobbing, he agrees.

And two, because I want him to say this line-

“It has been a joy to watch your distracting childish rivalry turn into a distracting childish courtship, which will undoubtedly turn into a distracting childish marriage.”

#B99 mixed with tangled has so much potential #I can absolutely see Varian wanting a wedding but not wanting to put a ton of effort into it so he enlists Rapunzel’s help #Hugo doesn’t really care (secretly he loves it)#Ruddiger and Olivia are the ring bearers #Lance is in charge of all the food preparation #Eugene is on keeping everyone sane duty (he’s also everyone’s right hand man during prep and he’s also weirdly particular ab the decor)#and Raps is in charge of pretty much everything else #Her baby brothers wedding has to go absolutely perfectly #Okay now I need content about Rapunzel stressing herself out for a few days because Varian only gave her like a week to prepare #And she needs everything to be perfect because she loves him so much and he’s done so much for her #And he worked so hard on her wedding #And so much little stuff goes wrong and she breaks down and Varian is just like #“Raps it’s perfect thank you”#🥹🥹🥹#And the rest of the week is enjoyable and fun now that she knows that Varian will love whatever she does #and that he put her in charge for a reason #Oh my gosh the mother-son dance Hugo dances with Donella and Varian dances with Rapunzel wah #And the father son ofc Varian dances with Quirin but fuck it Eugene and Hugo dance #And then they swap #Found family my beloved #tts #tangled the series #rapunzel's tangled adventure #varian #eugene fitzherbert #rapunzel #hugo vat7k #hugo rottewange #team awesome #varigo

Taliesin talking about using tarot for writing block in the stream is SO validating for me, because last weekend after picking up doing regular readings after getting this particular deck, I was reminded that doing general readings for myself gets very frustrating because I tend to be like, "I KNOW but what am I supposed to fucking do about it," and I need more guidance to actually shift that into action items, so I went and bought The Creative Tarot by Jessa Crispin which I read and loved like eight years ago and is much better for my purposes as a person who tends to orient my entire life around creative work.

#I do actually really recommend it if you are a creative type #especially if you picked up this deck for fandom reasons and haven't done any tarot before #it's very good and really helpful for direction #fwiw my readings have actually shifted since I bought the book too which is very funny to me #like previously ALL major arcana cards and now it's like 'oh that's way more reasonable. way less loaded. thanks man.'

Did I accidently write more than just a few lines of dialogue for this scene?... *shyly fumbling with fingers* 🥹👉👈 maybe...

Sorry, I suck at words and this isn't betaread nor properly proofread and I am not native english, I'm very sorry in advance...

full story down below

(Chappel Roan - Love me Anyway)

(Benson Boone - Slow it Down)

"VICE-CAPTAIN!!!!"

The tiny moving plush-like thing in his hand apparently started screaming as well now.

"WHY ALWAYS MEEE!?!?"

What looked like the chibi mini-version of the Defence Force's biggest trump card, struggled to hold on his thumb, kicking around those little feet of his.

"Well, now I'm quite curious abut THAT story..."

"I CAN'T TURN BACK AND I AM T I N Y !!! (˚ ˃̣̣̥⌓˂̣̣̥ )"

"I see that... How'd you even get in here?"

Tiny #8 stopped fidgeting a bit. Instead two unproportionally big round dark eyes goggled at him. It was undeniably adorable to look at. "Well after THIS happened, I couldn't grab my phone on the table anymore, so I ran around to find someone, but I figured Narumi and Kikoru would very likely take advantage of my situation and do something stupid with me."

"Oh yeah, they definitely would and I get why, honestly."

"So I ran around to find you, YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW BIG THE 1st DIVISION IS, WHEN YOU'RE LIKE THIS, OK?! And then I saw the slightly opened window and just crawled in... ༼☯﹏☯༽"

"Wait... you know where my temporary place in the 1st Division is located? Why?"

"....Coincidence? (*ﾟｰﾟ) "

He sighed. "Well just when you think you saw everything...Kafka Hibino enters the stage..."

"SIR, WHAT SHOULD I DO?? WHY ARE THESE THINGS ALWAYS HAPPENING TO ME??"

"you really want me to answer that, bud?", he barely tried to hide the undertone of his voice, which left the small creature on the palm of his hand baffled for a second.

"Wha-? HEY, MEAN!! What are you on about!?"（＞д＜）

"Yeah, maybe, I don't know STOP CHANGING in general, like I told you f.ex.. or maybe stick to your training routine without going OVERBOARD on a regular basis? How 'bout that?"

The big dark round eyes got even bigger with every word spoken.

"Yeah, don't look at me like that, I might coincidently got wind of stuff, you know?"

His unexpectedly open and emotional response threw Kafka off. For a second he forgot about his *tiny* main problem, his mind jumped between confused and worried and he couldn't comprehend with his reaction for now. After some awkward seconds in silence, Hoshina's tone grew significantly calmer, but still sort of off to his usual self-assured expression. "Well at least this time you're actually telling me about stuff that bothers you, huh?"

Silence again. While hanging from the palm of his Vice-Captain's hand Kafka realized something (besides his size) was different. His senses grew more aware of his surroundings to find answers.

"Are... are you drunk, sir?"

Besides the slight scent of alcohol in the air, and the - well quite obvious - bottle of sake on the table, the startled twitch on his face confirmed Kafka's guess was right. Other than the sake the only other thing on the table were some snacks. Another odd thing to Kafka, who was used to see Hoshina's surroundings stuffed with documents, loose papers, books and other work related things.

The silence lingered around them uncomfortably. To Kafka's suprise Hoshina was seemingly struggling with words. A look on his face Kafka couldn't remember seeing before. Now his mind definitely jumped to 'worried'.

Hoshina tried to mimic an insulted face and looked away. "A little tippsy at most... I'm off-duty for tonight.." Besides the slightly blushed nose and cheeks, Kafka now noticed some dark circles under red eyes. "..and despite my gut telling me better, I assumed I probably won't be needed anymore today, and that I could hang loose a little. It's not my Division after all, there's another Captain and Vice-Captain in charge here. So I might as well make use of that chance... Should have known, it would end up that way or another.. " He smiled a bit and Kafkas felt like his heart clenching from the sight. "Although I definitely should have placed my bet on YOU to be the reason for that." He chuckled lightly, while his expressions grew somewhat softer.

"I'm sorry, Sir."

"Nah, it's fine. As if I didn't get used to your-"

"I never put much thought to it, but ever since the Defence Force started preparing for the big counter attack on #9 your workload must've at least doubled in the 3rd and 1st Division.. and here I am still taking over the rest of your time as well..."

"Don't like where this is going, officer... You're not starting pitying me, are ya?"

"No I-...I just feel like.. I didn't realize, and there for not appreciated your work enough.." Silence. "And also.." The tiny kaiju had his look glued to the floor in front of him for a while now. "I know you told me to brush it off earlier but,... I truly regret ... not telling you about... #8 n'stuff.. I'm sorry... I'd change that if I could.."

A small plushy-sized Kaiju was gently put back on the ground again. Hoshina scratched his nose for a second, before bending far back to the other side of the room. He grabbed for his smartphone that was burried in piles of carelessly pushed aside documents.

"As I said. You're here now, aren't ya?" When he got his phone he chose to stay laid down on the floor and started typing something on the lightened screen.

A tiny transformed Kafka carefully made his way around and walked up on eye-level with Hoshina's face again. Once again overwhelmed by his current state of being, he let himself fall back on the floor and sat on the ground. "So... what should I do?"

"The first thing WE do is trying to make some calls. But since you seem to be in no life-threatening condition, we might have to wait 'till tomorrow for a first medical examination. If that's the case you'll stay, and I get you down to the lab first thing in the morning."

"Wait!" The tiny Kaiju made a suprisingly far jump right up to Hoshina's chest and pressed the (for him very big) red hang-up button on the screen with both paws. "You're right about that, I won't die this second from being tiny, so we might as well wait for tomorrow."

The questioning look on the opposite's face made a tiny Kafka look away and scratch his neck shyly. "Well, since you're ... I dunno,... I feel like, I can't have you be seen d-dru- .. like this by other officials of the 1st Division, b-because of me..."

A finger poked his forehead, which caused a tiny being like him to fall right back landing on warm soft fabric of Hoshina's shirt.

"Idiot. But you might be right about that."
