#that sorta vibe yknow

[sajdd]

by the way i dont know if i ever shared this headcanon from my dsmp days but i liked to think of the in-game exp drop that happens when someone dies, as the character's soul breaking into these particles and flying away to the player's respawn point. sort of my explanation for how the respawn mechanic works. and that if someone perma-dies that the particles just disperse out into the world like fireflies (or maybe they fuse into a ghost)

and thats why cdream was able to revive ctommy and cwilbur. because ghostbur was just all of cwilbur's soul particles fused together. and ctommy's never got to disperse because nothing leaves pandora :') so cdream was able to just put them back together

just sorta an idea i came up with that could explain how the revival & muliple lives mechanic could be explained in an actual story setting instead kf just minecraft physics. and i think it could make deaths look really tragic and beautiful because of the imagery of someone's soul just dispersing into what looks like fireflies, and just floating away, never to be seen again.

It's a time-honoured tradition- every time Sam comes across Izzy (and Ed) in their travels, he asks Izzy to marry him. And every time, Izzy turns him down.

At this point, Sam is asking more for the sake of it than any belief Izzy will ever say yes, a remnant of childhood dedication touched with 30 years of heartbreak and regret- though even now, a small part of him still holds out hope. Sam's promises have only got more extravagant over the years, from a job as his first mate, to a captaincy, a fleet at his command, a whole fucking island if that's what Izzy wants- but he knows it isn't though, not really. If Izzy was ever going to agree to marry him, to leave his life and go with Sam, it wouldn't be for anything Sam could offer him. Izzy never did care for flashy shows of wealth, for a ship or to be captain. The only thing that ever mattered to him was loyalty given, and loyalty shown in return. 

It all comes to a head after Stede left and came back, after Izzy lost a toe, lost his leg. Sam hasn't seen him since before things with Ed started to really slide off the rails, before stress permanently set into the lines of Izzy’s face. So, when he sees a dishevelled man with a hoof for a leg in a no-name port, he doesn't even consider the idea that he might know him. It's only when he turns towards him, and Sam catches a glance at those oh too familiar tattoos, he realises this is Izzy, his Izzy, that stands before him.

Knowing Izzy's discomfort with pity, he doesn't treat him any differently than he would in years gone by, positioning himself in Izzy's line of sight before approaching and sweeping him up into a bone crushing hug. 

“Israel-goddamn-Hands!” he exclaims, as Izzy grumbles back a begrudging “Samuel-fucking-Bellamy”, a tradition almost as old as their friendship itself. Izzy might not hug him back, but he can’t keep the corner of his mouth from twitching, just for a second.

(If Sam holds Izzy a little tighter and a little longer than usual, well. That's his business)

By the time Sam lets go, most of the crew has appeared in the town square, drawn in by the commotion. They may have given Izzy his leg and welcomed him as one of them, but still there’s an underlying tension, with nobody quite ready to set aside everything that happened before the Kraken. Seeing him cosying up to an unknown man sets everyone on edge, unsure whether to come to their first mate’s aid, or to assume that they've been betrayed once again.

When Ed sees that the yelling was Sam, his hand goes tense where it's held in Stede's. He knows the routine, has seen it more times than he can count, but as he watches them part he realises that this is the first time in a long time he's unsure of what Izzy's response will be.

Knowing that something’s different, knowing that Izzy's feeling vulnerable already, Sam doesn't go for the same flashy proposal he’s been giving for years. He doesn't promise Izzy the world, he doesn't cause a scene (or, any more of a scene than he already has, anyway). He looks at the fractured man in front of him, takes his face in his hands, and says the exact same thing to him he said when they were little more than boys. “Israel, I have to ask you. I know what you'll say, but I have to try. Come with me. Marry me and sail away with me. I'll keep you safe”

And Izzy… hesitates. He glances over at Ed, at Stede, and says to Sam “...We’re staying in port for a week. Ask me again then”

That's the moment Sam knows there is something deeply, horribly, wrong. He's not just looking at an Izzy who got seriously injured in a fight and is struggling to cope, this is something so much bigger than that- and that Ed has something to do with it. Izzy wouldn't even be considering leaving if he didn't. Whether it was negligence or something more sinister, Sam doesn't yet know, but he intends to find out.

in very broad terms, tea is generally a comfort drink; something you make to calm someone down. coffee is more of a productive thing - caffeine to keep you going, awake and working.

i don't really know where i'm going with this. but it's an interesting contrast. there is already evidence pointing towards the oiar being far more concerned for it's employees than the institute ever was - at the very least, it has protocols (lol) to minimize the danger they're in, instead of jonah's actively encouraging entities to come and get his archivist. but it's also that the institute had... almost the illusion of prestige? like. it really didn't actually have any. but it had departments and equipment and funding - jonah was at least playing at academia; as opposed to the oiar. buried under mountains of red tape and paperwork, working the night shift, terminally underfunded, with apparently the ability to quit...

fuck this got long. anyway. uh again i dont have many coherant thoughts but... parallels!! contrasts!! tea and coffee!!!!

A very quick drawing, so it's a little wonky and I think a future design would be less obviously "Flight Rising Dragon", but the initial exercise was still that I wanted to draw one of my FR dragons!

This is MORTIS, it is a mysterious and completely normal 'preacher' with a love for stories. It definitely can't read your memories, and definitely won't tell you the terrible secrets of the other people in town.

hi it’s me again. i think this au has infected my brain. the pd dynamic would feel totally different without dakota there i feel like vyncent or william would pick up the slack or something. maybe they would bounce of each other while summer desperately tries to keep them on track. i think there’d still be the moral thing going on with summer always trying to see the best in people but it wouldn’t be the same.

i don’t know. i just think this au’s neat :] (<- is a little bit feral but trying to calm down)

btw i have a feeling im gonna want to talk about this au so i feel like i need an anon nickname or something??? idk how this works

- :] anon  maybe????? is that how that works????

AHHH im having so much fun talking about this honestly do whatver you wan tin my inbox forever !! but i think the pd dynamicc change would be like. wild

i think they woul dbe a bit more overall competent but it would be less. fun ? if that makes sense. like theres less chaos to it and theyre getting their job done so its obviously gonna have a way different vibe. like i said earlier i think theyd be WAYY stealthier and generally like. mystery based. but also like physically weaker cause they wouldnt have to train with dakota and wouldnt learn via that ? if that makes sense ? like pd normally is generally way more versatile with their overall skillsets because they have dakota

and obviously summer is also a pretty moral person !! but shes also way less extreme than dakota. theyre also very morla in different ways (like you said, sumemr sees the best in people and how they can change vs dakotas is insistant on doing the right thing always even in the face of the rules yknow)

theyd probably end up following the rules a lot more without dakota as well

It adds a lot more to both the fear + emotional turmoil of Boogey kills or partnering with Boogeymen if you assume the people who haven't gotten it yet are (especially by this point) dubious it's real.

Cleo, Skizz, Tango, anyone who has never gotten it... at some point it has to seem like maybe it's just an excuse.

[showfallmediacameracrew]

let's maybe Not be passively suicidal? just maybe? it'd be better for you if you tried to work on that?

i dont know what that means, are you talking about the new thing ive heard some newer streamers mention that they claim is called mental health? that surely isn't an actual thing.

im not passively doing anything, much less whatever that word is, im actively content and resigned to being stuck here forever. even death will not be an escape as youll just come back anyway if the higher ups continue to have use of you.

You poor soul why'd you ask me of this :) Also do not know if you wanted multiple in 1. On one hand killing more terfs, on the other hand flooding you with my bs Pix at the end of E1 (his) became a copper statue. He was entirely conscious and he waited and waited watching as the Rapture happened and he was not saved. He gets saved sometime before E2 by recap crew

Hermitcraft recap cats, I have more detailed under a tag of the name but basically the hc recap become cats in the vicinity of hermits so Pix in empires constantly a catboy. This is just fluffy goodness (.....unless)

Pix with abandonment issues (see first thing) and being super scared of being left behind (it freaks him out that he’s a ghost)

Hermitcraft and Empires go to war Pix plays divorcee child mark violence

An empires member gets turned into an animal and no matter how fluffy it is angst? Maybe

Less a fic idea more so a head canon you all could work with, Pix can sleep wherever at whatever time. Abysmal sleep schedule but he can be found sleeping on walls and in trees whenever he needs the sleep

Oli trapped in Goblands but more angst?? Why not

Empires 1 Pix meets Empires 2 Pix shenagians ensue by that nerding out and existential dread

Pix on his exile arc (season 1) but more angst (Xornoth, general pain, anxiety, religious trauma, the list goes on)

this is great please send them all in individually

Yknow what makes me reaentful? How ive been sexually abused so much growing up, no one did shit besides shove me off to a therapist, ive been promised by feminist spaces that ill have a place to heal within them, and as soon as my abusive ex tries to smear me and project their behavior on to me by accusing me of doing that shit too, all the sudden everyone acts suspicious, and i still dont get any of that promised healing. Its hard not to feel like my ex did this intentionally to prevent me from having a space to heal. And its my issue with the "believe victims" narrative because it seems to me like people dont actually want to believe victims but to believe the victims they *like* and *agree more with politically*. If people can just say whatever about someone and you feel obligated to believe them because "believe victims", its very clearly going to be exploited by abusive people, and while i dont think we should stop per se, we need to have some sort of actual system to vet who is and isnt telling the truth, like a pseudo-courtroom. At the very least let everyone and their side of the story actually be heard. Bc idk how you guys plan to believe two victims at once who are accusing eachother other than throwing your hands up and picking one or deciding that we're both bad, which doesnt seem very fair to me since people seem to looove demonizing me for no discernable reason.
