#that's what happens when you have npcs HAHAHA

[fanfaire]

WAS IT HER IMAGINATION, OR DID HE LOOK MORE COMFORTABLE? was it just that he had thought she'd merely wanted to come in and impose her will upon this place? it couldn't be further from the truth——she'd only thought of this strange detour as another part of her dizzying wanderings, not entirely unlike groping around a padded room in the dark with her hands, being bumped from one spot to another on chance alone. her eyes drift momentarily over to lowell busying himself at the far wall end of the establishment, his not-quite-coherent mutterings faintly audible even from here. perhaps it was understandable, given that the little man appeared to intend just that himself.

attention returns to monsieur gallagher when he finally starts to talk, and her hand wanders absently to the bottle of soulglad on the idle instinct to nurse whatever was in reach of her while conversing over a table, only to belatedly remember its repulsive taste. the hand returns, as if nipped by something, to her lap instead. "a time capsule. . . " she parrots thoughtfully, then nods, not quite meeting his eyes but instead down at a slant as if to find the source of her musings in the weathered grooves and worn-down polish of the wooden floor. "that's not uncommon. anyone who's been around long enough almost always has some sentimentality for places to look like they've always remembered. it's one of the hallmarks of the human emotional experience and helps us decide who we are." now her eyes lift and find his again, plainspoken. "and that doesn't have to change."

casting around at their surroundings anew, she sees plenty in need of renovation or at least repair to bring things up to industry standard⠀(⠀. . . did this place have an industry standard?⠀) ,⠀but though the style of the venue wasn't to her personal taste, what difference did that make here, where she was just an (un)lucky visitor?

"there's a lot of places like this in fontaine—— ' the oldest bar in the quartier lyonnais ', ' ségoléne dormoy's apartment, preserved just the way it was when she died ', that kind of thing. "

"in a niche, tourist's alleyway, yes," a voice out of nowhere startles her, and she looks down to find lowell suddenly appeared, quiet as a mouse, tapping his measuring stick against the palm of his open hand like a schoolteacher's paddle ready to slap unsuspecting wrists. his look cuts from her to gallagher and back, wide and a little intense, but not as hostile as the interjection had made him sound. "but this is the front row seat of the moment of stars. you saw it, fair lady——right off the bubble pinball and it's the first stop on your right!" she'd nearly forgotten how animated he was with his gestures. lowell shakes his head. "that kind of real estate should be a welcome stop, a symbol, and you can save the charming hole-in-the-walls for a backstreet. we're trying to make the moment of stars lively again, not turn it into a museum."

furina blinks in the pause. then, honestly: "why not?"

lowell turns to look at her, bewildered. "why not what? turn it into a museum?"

her only response is to shrug, glancing at gallagher instead to see his reaction.

hi there,

thank you so much for all the voicelines you post !! if it’s okay, can i request subaru’s ?

thank you again !

You're welcome! At some point I might go back and put in the ones I leave out because they don't appeal to me as much lol but since i always end up posting 99% of them anyway I think it's enough for most people hahaha. It's all of them now! Sorry for the delay.

I WAS GONNA OMIT ONE OR TWO BECAUSE OF SPOILERS but eh i'll just warm for like. extra spoilers. since after doing more code peeking it wasn't the spoiler i thought it was. SUBARU IS A SWEETIE THOUGH. I also read Subaru's chats which were put in the code recently and. Man this guy needs anxiety meds. I have a small guess as to what his stigma is, but we'll learn in a few days anyway.

Hello: (the first time the game is opened after that character is set as home screen NPC. Only happens once per day, unless the character is switched out and back.)

"I'm very sorry to have kept you waiting. It's wonderful to see you again."

You've Got Mail: (whenever there's something in the inbox, usually Arena rewards)

"It looks like there's a notice for you. I'd be happy to go pick it up for you if you've got your hands full. Oh, forgive me if I'm overstepping."

oh no he's anxious about helping--

Default: (requires no affinity, has no time constraints)

"I really am so lucky to be surrounded by so many kind people like you."

"I never thought I'd get the chance to enjoy the lifestyle of a student until I came to Darkwick. Every day truly is fulfilling here."

it feels like subaru is like. . .the only one who actually enjoys school life here. . .or who really enjoys being here period lmao. . . .

"You think I'm always smiling? Ha ha, I hear that a lot. It just happens when I'm around all of you."

"I may be the captain, but it's just in name. I think Haku is much better suited for the job than me."

"I've been working since I was four, so people often said I was mature for my age. But the truth is, I've still got a lot to learn."

that makes two characters whose parents have essentially been keeping them from normal life and normal childhood for work reasons since they were four year olds. . . .

Affinity 1: (between 5am and 11am)

"I tend to just have hot water for breakfast. I know it would be better for me to eat a proper meal, but it's just so much effort."

DO WE REALLY HAVE TO START WITH "I NEED THE GHOULS TO EAT PROPER FUCKIN MEALS". . . .

Affinity 2: (between 11am and 4pm)

"I'm sorry I'm so late. The campus is so crowded I can never manage to walk in a straight line, so it always takes me longer than I think. Silly, isn't it?"

baby you're hardly the first person i've met with anxiety about crowds. you're fine.

Affinity 3: (between 4pm and 8pm)

"What would I do without Haku's help? Hotarubi would be a mess without him."

Affinity 4: (between 8pm and 5am)

"I wonder if I should apply early to take out any common artifacts I might need for this mission. I'll ask Haku what he thinks..."

Affinity 5: (between 8pm and 5am)

"Ah!  You surprised me there... I just got back from a small errand. Do you need something?"

Affinity 6: (between 4pm and 8pm)

"Ever since I was a child, the performing arts were my only focus. Maybe that's why people always say my mannerisms are so peculiar. It bothers you too, doesn't it?"

poor boy doesn't know how to act if he isn't acting. . .he doesn't know how to exist off-script. . .no wonder he made a deal with a demon. it's probably the first thing he's ever done for himself.

Affinity 7: (between 11am and 4pm)

"I'd like to go to the cafeteria, but the line is always so long. I feel bad taking time to choose while people are waiting behind me. The bar of entry feels a little high."

i am once again suggesting subaru get anxiety meds. hell go to sinnostra and get some weed, i bet they sell that. i hear it can help.

Affinity 8: (between 4pm and 8pm)

"I'm just about to go and meet a friend. I hate to inconvenience you like this, but if it's something urgent, could you speak to Haku about it instead?"

Affinity 9: (between 8pm and 5am)

"What am I going to do? We're supposed to be meeting up in an hour... If I cancel now, they'll hate me..."

Affinity 10: (between 10pm and midnight)

"Whew... I'll walk you back to your house, {PC}. Oh, it's no problem at all, I assure you! I wanted some fresh air anyway."

Affinity 11: (between 5am and 11am)

"I have an Anomalous Ecology test coming up. It's such a fascinating subject, I couldn't help but stay up all night studying. Now I'm a little sleep-deprived."

Affinity 12: (between 11am and 4pm)

"I'm going to stretch my legs a little. I might not have a show to practice for right now, but I need to keep putting myself through my paces. I'll get rusty otherwise."

Affinity 13: (between 4pm and 8pm)

"I'm sorry my phone's been making so much noise. I recently downloaded an app by mistake, and it won't stop sending me notifications..."

awww he's also technologically incompetent. . .poor guy was probably raised with such a heavy focus on his career he just. never needed a smartphone. anyone he needed to contact or who needed to contact him was probably always very close by. it sounds like he didn't even properly go to school before going to Darkwick. Somebody please take this boy on a walk. like anywhere. take him to a library. buy him a churro. can sho make churros? this is somebody who's never had any sort of normal social experience and sees how different he is and wishes it weren't the case, unlike Ritsu who assumes everyone else is like him, i think he'd like to have some more Experiences.

Affinity 14: (between 5am and 11am)

"... ...Oh! Hello, {PC}—I didn't even notice you there. My mind was somewhere else."

Affinity 15: (between 5am and 11am)

"Good morning! Sorry? My hair's messy? You're right, it's sticking right up at the front... That's embarrassing. I'll fix it right away."

Affinity 16: (between 11am and 4pm)

"I usually have lunch in the dormitory. I do eat on the terrace with Lyca every now and then, but he seems so busy these days..."

Lyca is one of the members of Obscuary, btw! Seems like he and Subaru are friends.

Affinity 17: (between 10pm and midnight)

"I didn't take you for a night owl, {PC}. Since you're here, I suppose I'll stay up a little longer. You're sure you're okay? You're not sleepy?"

Affinity 18: (between 8pm and 5am)

"Do you visit Sinostra very often, {PC}? I see... Oh, no reason. I was just making conversation. Ha ha."

why do you ask that. . .a certain mafioso captain wouldn't happen to be suspicious of you would he. . .or maybe you owe them money. . .or maybe you used to be part of Sinostra and moved to Hotarubi. . . .

Affinity 19: (between 10pm and midnight)

"It's getting late, {PC}. How about we finish this tomorrow? Thank you for keeping me company all this time."

Affinity 20: (between 5am and 11am)

"Oh, I couldn't ask you to come all the way to my room to wake me up—I'd feel terrible. I do very much appreciate the thought, though."

it's okay buddy jin already makes them do it, one more pit stop won't hurt.

Affinity 21: (between 11am and 4pm)

"Oh, hello, {PC}. Sorry, I was actually just on my way out. I should be back by evening—do you mind if we speak then?"

Affinity 22: (between 4pm and 8pm)

"Lyca has seen my message, so why hasn't he responded to it? I hope nothing bad has happened to him..."

Affinity 23: (between 8pm and 5am)

"Lyca will adapt well to human society, I'm sure of it. I'm so relieved that Darkwick chose to trust him. I can't thank you enough for your help."

he really likes Lyca huh? that is his dog.

Affinity 24: (between 10pm and midnight)

"You can't sleep? Then let me tell you some stories. Legend has it that evil spirits appear once you've told a hundred. Now, what number was I up to..."

BOY IS TRYNA GET YOUR ASS HAUNTED.

Affinity 25(max): (no time constraints)

"I don't want to seem like I'm testing you, I just... I get really anxious sometimes... I'm sorry. I'm being weird, aren't I?"

he's the type to ask 'are you sure you love me? are you sure you wanna be with me?' after you get married and move in together and own a house and have two kids with another on the way. he's the hyper anxious 'i'm sorry we disagreed about our favorite colors do you hate me?' friend(affectionate) I wonder though, is he apologizing for seeming like he's testing you because he's using his stigma to see what you've been up to or something. . .? Probably not lol it's more likely he just keeps asking if you like him

Spring: (March-May) (between 5am and 11am)

"There is no time like spring. Everyone seems more relaxed this time of year. It's reassuring to see."

(between 11am and 4pm)

"I have some sakura mochi. I was just about to prepare some tea to go with it—would you like to join me?"

(between 4pm and 8pm)

"They have no control over whether they bloom, and yet they get made a spectacle of nonetheless... Oh, sorry—I was talking about the cherry blossoms."

(between 8pm and 5am)

"There are many different flowers growing in Hotarubi, but I think the wisteria are my favorites. This is the best time to see them, so you should take a walk around."

Summer: (June-August) (between 5am and 11am)

"Hot today, isn't it? It's always raining in Hotarubi, so it does provide a little escape from the blazing summer sun, but... Ha ha. It is very humid, isn't it?"

(between 11am and 4pm)

"Summer makes me think of the ghost story Yotsuya Kaidan. The scene where Oiwa becomes hysterical, having realized her her face has been disfigured— incredible."

Yotsuya Kaidan is one of the best known japanese ghost stories! It's extremely violent, so read the summary at your discretion. The scene in question has Oiwa shown her reflection by her sister's boss to see that the cream she was given by a woman who was in love with her husband was actually some sort of poison that instantly scarred her face. She grabs a sword and goes to kill her, only for her to accidentally slit her own throat.

(between 4pm and 8pm)

"Hotarubi House holds regular festivals during the summer months. If you need a yukata to wear, I'd be happy to pick one out for you."

(between 8pm and 5am)

"I don't mind scary stories, but when that biwa in the tea room started playing by itself, it did make me jump a little..."

slight spoiler, although you can probably figure it out from this but. . .Zenji is a ghost. Subaru currently can't actually see him or hear his voice. . .only Haku, the pc, and, perhaps not so oddly, Towa can afair. All of his youtube content doesn't have him or his voice in it because he can't be recorded by cameras. So Subaru doesn't realize that the biwa playing on its own is actually Zenji playing the biwa.

Autumn: (September-November) (between 5am and 11am)

"The air has gotten crisper, and the leaves are changing color. I know it's only natural for the seasons to shift, so why does it make my heart ache so much?"

(between 11am and 4pm)

"Oh, these? They're some chestnuts I found. I know—I should give them to Sho. I'm sure he'll be able to make something delicious with them."

(between 4pm and 8pm)

"That's another kuchikiri tea ceremony under my belt. It's an annual tradition where one cuts open a tea jar to reveal the tea that was preserved from the first harvest."

(between 8pm and 5am)

"On long autumn nights when the moon is shining beautifully in the sky, it's hard to resist taking a walk outside. Don't stay out until too late though, {PC}."

Winter: (December-February) (between 5am and 11am)

"...Oh, {PC}. Good morning... I had a hard time getting up today. It must be the cold... Ha ha. Not very captain-like, is it?"

Jin, Taiga, and Ed are all prone to not getting out of bed. and Yuri falls asleep on operating tables when he has down time. Trust me Subaru you are perfectly captain-like.

(between 11am and 4pm)

"Today, I'm going to order ingredients from one of my favorite stores so we can all make negima—tuna and scallion—hot pot together. Please, do join us."

(between 4pm and 8pm)

"It's cold out today. I was just thinking about lighting the fire. Would you like to come and warm up with me?"

oh subaru you don't even know how that sounds

(between 8pm and 5am)

"People say winter makes you want to snuggle up with someone, but I find that a good blanket does a much better job."

i agree that blankets are much easier to manage than people lol. probably warmer too.

His birthday: (February 20th)

"A present? For me? Thank you... I didn't expect you to do anything for my birthday, so I'm a little caught off guard. I really appreciate it."

Your birthday:

"Um... Happy birthday.  I really hope this year will be a wonderful one for you."

New Years: (January 1st)

"Happy New Year. I hope I can depend on your guidance and support again this year."

Valentine's Day: (February 14th)

"Chocolate? Oh, It's Valentine's Day, isn't it? Does that mean these are for me...?"

nah i just wanted you to look at them. YES THEY ARE FOR YOU BBY. why would you be showing him chocolate if it wasn't for him! On any day, not just valentine's day!!

White Day: (March 14th)

"These are for you, {PC}. I put in a special order for monaka from my favorite confectioner in Ginza. They're wafers filled with bean jam—I hope you like them."

April Fool's Day: (April 1st)

"Earlier, Haku told me he was switching houses. It gave me a real shock— I'm very relieved that it wasn't true..."

i bet subaru made the most scared kicked puppy face and started apologizing for being such an awful captain and blamed himself for that haku would go to a different house and haku had to quickly explain it was just a prank for fear that subaru might burst into tears.

Halloween: (October 31st)

"Happy Halloween. I know it's nothing special, but I've prepared some treats for the occasion. Oh... But you're more than welcome to play a trick instead."

please don't trick him. april fool's day was hard enough for him.

Christmas: (December 25th)

"Merry Christmas. We already have our New Year decorations up in Hotarubi, so it has a real east-meets-west atmosphere now. I hope everyone is okay with it..."

Idle: (about 20 seconds without interacting with the game) (below 13 affinity)

"Everyone seems busy at the moment. Maybe I should use this opportunity to tidy the garden..."

(13 affinity and above)

"{PC}? Oh... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you. I was just worried because you were so quiet..."

Absent: (logging in for the first time in 2 or more days?)

"You're back... I'm so relieved. I was worried I'd done something to make you feel uncomfortable..."

this man shakes like a chihuahua 24/7. like you can taste the anxiety coming off of him. i love him. he's so pathetic(affectionate). i wanna squeeze his hand reassuringly and tell him everything's gonna be okay. i wanna hug him and pat his head. i wanna take him places so he learns more about the world outside of working. i wanna watch him do schoolwork excitedly because he's never really gone to school before and it's a new and exciting experience. i want him to experience the most mundane aspects of life with wonder.

good boy. yeah. get him anxiety meds /nodnod

Ji Ho, Jack and Jeb's Therapy Game started to merge after they met in Bacalao Bay. And they are not quite sure how to deal with that. Should Jeb and Jack log in with Ji Ho or should they wait to not interfere with Ji Ho's therapy? They decided to wait and just watch what happens since NPC Jeb knows where to find the Captain and real Jeb doesn't and to give NPC Jack time to regain access to his memories.

They took the ferry southbound to the islands where - NPC Jeb is sure - they would find the Captain. The poor Princess did not take the passage well - just like Ji Ho. She sits on the deck next to NPC Jeb and prays to the gods that this will be over soon... NPC Jack, however, seems to enjoy the ride ^^' He started to talk again - because nothing can shut this big snout of him, not even death. But he still can't remember anything from the night he died.

When they reached the landing stage on the main island, the first thing NPC Jack noticed was the fish shack. (To his defence: there wasn't much more to see anyway ^^) NPC Jack: "Gods I'm hungry!"

They didn't even notice the beautiful sunset. NPC Jack because -> hungry, Jihovere because -> sick and NPC Jeb because he's worried for the poor girl.

As soon as the fish monger gave NPC Jack his plate, he started to wolf down his lobster roll right at the stand. Jeb was startled. Jihovere, still a bit weak on her legs: "Can we sit down at least?" (Yes, Tiny Can did a very good job with their NPC versions! hahaha)

NPC Jack: "Hm?"

Jihovere and her new friends had studied the map they found in the Vicegerent's office thoroughly. Jihovere: "Are you sure your Captain will be able to steer us through the shoals and cliffs to the remote cave where the Vicegerent and the Demon entrench?" NPC Jeb: "Oh, he will. I've never met a bolder and more daring ('and daunting' he added, but just in his thoughts) man like him." (I don't know if greasy popcorn shrimps are the right food choice when you're nauseous, Jihovere...)

It was late when they left the harbor. Tomorrow morning they will start their search for the fearless and skilled Captain.

They went over to their lodging nearby the monger arranged for them. (TMI: This is one of adult Ji Ho's houses.)

Jihovere still doesn't feel much better (owing to the shrimps, I bet!) so they just chatted for a while and went to bed soon.

Outtakes

NPC Jack fell in love with NPC Jeb! So this is the counter episode to the mini episode when Jeb fell in love with Jack shortly after Vlad's death ö.Ö' Which lead to Sai and Jeb's first break up...

After NPC Jeb regained his composure: "I'd rather have you, Jihovere!" NPC Jack: "What? Ewww." (Argh! They try to make me sway! Because they know: for me, Jeb is the perfect partner for each of them! For Ji Ho / for Jack) But their hearts want what their hearts want...

'I'll push the wood (stir it, stir it, stir it together) I'll blaze your fire Then, I'll satisfy your heart's desire (Stir it, stir it, stir it together) I'll stir it, yeah, every minute, yeah All you've got to do, baby, is keep it in, and

Stir it up Little darling, stir it up Come on baby, yeah I say stir it up Little darling, stir it up, oh yeah

Quench me, baby, while I'm thirsty Cool me down, mama, when I'm hot Your recipe is so tasty And you sure, baby, can stir your pot, so'

Stir it up - Bob Marley This songtext leaves nothing to the imagination ^^'

[celestie0]

hello ellie. ok jk sorry for that npc greeting. sometimes i like to just spawn behind ppl and go “hello” in that npc ass voice to scare them. ok anyways

HELLO ELLIE 😁😁😁😁

headcannon that ihm gojo has a healthy sleep schedule while reader obviously has a rlly bad one and on her days off ihm gojo will force her to go to bed and eventually reader’s sleep schedule is saved woohoo! hmm that might not be realistic though cuz reader is a night shift worker…maybe she asks to move to morning shift so she has her nights free so gojo drags her to bed with him and they cuddle and sleep early and it happens so often that reader gets used to sleeping early with gojo and whenever he goes on his business trips reader has a harder time sleeping

gojo will also make reader go on morning runs with him but reader gives up and walks or goes back home or just doesnt go in the first place cuz no way is she letting a man dictate how she lives 😂😂😂

when reader is bored she starts bothering gojo and gojo usually just deals with it by annoying her back or jhst ignoring her cuz he’s a real man 🙏 but sometimes he gets annoyed and then boom he kisses her to shut her up BOOMSHAKALAKA YES GAWD 🙏🙏🙏

gojo and reader argue about what show to watch or what music to play on a car ride, in the morning etc and reader almost always wins cuz gojo kinda just…gives in to reader. she too much of a baddie to say no to 🙏🙏

gojo is pretty much as dense as a rock but sometimes he will spit out the most poetic confession about how beautiful reader is or how much he loves her and then goes back to watching the news or idk looking at his avocadoes and reader is left super flustered and tries to recover by calling him stupid

when reader realizes gojo rlly loves eating homemade sweets and she gets less annoyed over gojo sneaking a couple bites she starts baking more just for him 🤔

ok headcannons accurate true or false 🤔

anyways, i hope youre doing well and staying safe!!! your writing is, as always, amazing 👅

hiiii darling. ok first of all, major sorry for the late response to this 😭 i have no excuse lol sometimes i just get phone/typing fatigue but i read this ask around when you first sent it in and it had me GIGGLINGGG hahaha i def agree w a lot of these but will also be honest ab what i disagree with 🤔

ok the first one is actually so accurate that it’s canon! there’s a whole half of a chapter that explores their mismatched sleeping schedules :) i guess it’s already been revealed that reader has some type of insomnia or issues falling asleep, and her sleep schedule is so messed up from working night shift at the ED. but small spoiler - turns out she sleeps much better when she sleeps in the same bed as gojo 🤭 aww her having a hard time sleeping when he’s away 🥺 stoppp my heart. and yes even though she’s night shift, she only works 3 days a week! so four days in the week she’s just fighting demons trying to fall asleep at a reasonable hour lol

and the second one is also so real hahha there’s also a line somewhere in my notes where she says sumn like “the last thing i’d want for my husband to do at 6am when i come home from a night shift is drag me out the house again to go for a RUN. what i’d actually want is for him to just lick my fucking vagina” 🤣🤣🤣 she’s kinda crass

AW thats cute haha but yes absolutely i think ihm gojo has a high tolerance lvl for reader’s bullshit xd he’s just like aight then. and YES he knows not to say no to a baddie lol.

that’s trueee i love dumb n dense gojo sm 😭😭 although i feel like ihm gojo is reaaaallyyy hella fkn bad at using his words to show ppl he cares about them. he’s more of an actions over words guy. i can’t see him being particularly poetic about anything (it’s just not in his vocab) BUT…he would be so sweet sometimes outta nowhere like remembering some fruit that she really liked once so he brings home three whole boxes of it or he takes her car out to get her gas before the work week starts or sumn :) he’s giving provider lol. i think in all of ihm there’s only one scene i’ve planned where he goes the poetic love confession route and it’s waaaay towards the end (although they are very affectionate in many other ways prior to this, it’s just moreso done through all the little gestures rather than any grand speech)

HAHHA the baking one is cuuute. i think at some point she may rely on him to taste things but also i feel like ihm reader bakes for the stress relief n not so much to eat anything so she’d probs be glad that he’s eating all of it so that nothing goes to waste hahaha

10+++/10 accurate headcanons some of the most accurate headcanons i’ve gotten for ihm thus far!! thanks bb for interacting w my works :)

Well, her favorite part is that, she can play along with them, like she can control some... But never the main characters in the story. Sure, she can control the rest of the background/npc/whatever except the main characters, Cookies... Although, she find it amusing that they don't know anything Abt us, the humans, or just watching/reading this, while the Creators/us, are just playing with them as entertainment

Although, she is quite apathetic, since we can literally just erase their memories and make things worse for them or something... So, she'll probably warn them to just accept it, otherwise there's dire consequences... But she wouldn't go into details to keep us a mystery... Since if she does get into details, we'll intervene (or something like that) to keep them from hiding us out... And the last quote/text would be like, after god know what happened to Y/N, "they're/she's not wrong... You guys are just merely entertainment for us to play with~"... And I suggest adding Shadow Milk cookie, cuz it'll be funny to see his reaction after learning that he's also a puppet for entertainment us/them

(And you can choose the characters that meet her, I don't mind :D)

" The consequences of Forbidden knowledge"

In the distant land, the sky blackened with dark stormy clouds as flash of lightening illuminated the whole area as a single black Tower giving a very ominous, fearful vibes as it seems to be haunted roof tops falling one by one as the gargoyle statues cracks as the light from the storm giggles making the statue look like it has come to life. The area around the tower is covered in swamp, filth, thick dense fog that will falter your vision from the swamp emits thick dense methanol along with thick poison having strong hallucination and illusion effect that will mislead you it's one of the most dangerous and fearful places existed as you have second to think to cross paths as the area is filled with bloodthirsty beasts.

Within the tower, in the guesture of the throne room a single figure sat on it with bored expression, dressed in black blue hoodie with black coal jeans as the hoodie covered the figures face as a single cyan glowing diamond shaped pupil, a wide arrogant smirk plasted on the figures face as the figure stood up making a gesture that was more of a taunting welcome when servent greets it's master as the figure proudly introduced it's as creator cookie or Y/N cookie, as the tone was filled with much more arrogance and pride like a child of some rich heir.

"Welcome my dear audience, I humbly welcome you to my domain where this worlds secrets are kept save from those arrogant fools who seems to think, gaining their filthy paws on the forbidden knowledge without paying the price it's laws of equivalent exchange you know. Heeeee that certain ignorant cookie was arrogant, sadistic and prideful in himself believes that this world is actually a new stage for him where the audience praise him, his enemies are his mere puppets the power of knowledge belongs to him and him only, hahaha the look on his face when he believes that he possesses all of the knowledge of this world yet he has not a single clue that he himself is the biggest puppet in his own show believe that he is mistreated protagonist hahaha the look on his face when I told him the truth, ohhhh that expression of utter despair, false hope, fear, anger and especially surprise, what a pathetic display of his might one snap of my fingers he lost all of his power hahaha".

As the creator cookie laughs like a madman running her hand through her cyan coloured hair as her eyes glowing with a hint of madness subdued rage with endless profound knowledge inside her brain made her almost into berserk mode as she took deep breaths stood tall not falter a single victory smirk walking on the bloody long carpet as storm chuckles making a loud bang of flashlight illuminated the shadowy throne.

" I was once a human, a childish innocent naive young girl that hasn't graduated from the university total nerd for computers, emerse in games digital hacking many other things" as she continue to Walk barely covering her rage grits as looks at the bloody portrait displaying of an old ruler and his sponse grits her teeth as veins popped on her dough eyes flashing in rage barely saying understand sentences" I shouldn't have trusted " him" because of him all of things important in my life was stripped away from that point I began to live in a hellhole while he enjoyed the previlage I was assassinated by a fucking truck driver I my remorse, rage all pent up negative emotions give me a second chance in life, the world where I was too familiar with the world of cookie run kingdom where I was a geek. Due to tasked of protection the knowledge I decided to toy with the characters from the shadows for my satisfaction to fuel my amusement watching them crawl helplessly begging to survive makes me want more drama don't you think shadow milk cookie"

Turning towards her right only to see shadow milk cookie in chains covered from head to toe as the muzzle was preventing him to speak, he glared still shocked from gaining the truth as creator cookie walk towards him with predator gaze kneed in position causing him to flinch in fear as she grabbed his chin said with a smirk " that's more like it hahaha the once arrogant proud jester and beast of deceit has reduced to this ..... Mess much be pleasing to my eyes haha look at you fall from grace such a pitiful state still shocked I see from learning the truth that you are a puppet yourself remember your a merely an entertainment to satisfy my amusement and boredom you five beasts, like a script in a play villains will bow down before the heros as they always triumph hahaha as the arrogant witches themselves prided in creating of mere cookies think that they are thier rightfully rulers ordering them like a bunch of hounds such silly hounds and fools are cookies, haha they didn't even know that they also puppets themselves such a shocking sad truth when they will learn oh the looks on their I can't wait to see it haha"

As she forcefully shove him away causing a loud thud as she sat on her throne with an aura of wisdom, arrogance and pride as cold smile plastered on her face looks at the fallen chained shadow milk cookie " remember you foolish cookie I will destroy and wipe any arrogance pride genocidal expressions of those foolish ones that claimed themselves above others just an best example of you beasts, when I said I will always keep my word the night is long the beasts of the night prepare yourself to return to your metal home once I hunt them hahaha".

Unknown to her numerous eyes saw through her figure glaring at her believing that she is the true arrogant, her arrogance has reached the heavens if she is coming to hunt the beasts then they are coming to hunt her instead beware the hunt has begun.

[invinciblerodent]

YEAH i instantly knew that you didn't get to that point yet and didn't explain further as to not spoil anything! First my condolences its a fucking hard decision i dont think i'll be able to handle it when i get the game, secondly my question: Do you meet dorian regardless of the choice made here?? And does the game say anything about sacrificing minrathous means hes dies or something like that? Thank you and sorry (lol hahaha 😵‍💫)

Okay!!! Now that I'm thorough THAT shitshow, I'll do my best to answer lol!

So, few things-

You meet Dorian in Minrathous before you would get the quest to recruit Davrin from Varric, which is what triggers this decision. I don't think Dorian dies if you sacrifice Minrathous (he's a powerful mage who can take care of himself, a Magister, AND a returning character- if the Crows in Treviso all survive the attack there, I don't think they would put such a big stake on the other choice), but I could be wrong. I don't see a very big chance of it happening, I think he, Mae, and Viper all probably survive.

I think choosing Minrathous might cut you off from Lucanis' romance altogether, though. I used one flirty line with him before (immediately post-recruitment, it was honestly just the one that sounded the most correct, I don't even think the prompt read as flirty but it definitely was delivered as such), and as I rushed to Treviso after saving Minrathous, I got a strange piece of dialogue from him that I feel implied that he's too heartbroken.

I noticed when taking them out together before that Neve and Lucanis sounded like they were flirting a little bit (I wish I had the line, but she at least definitely implied that she was attracted to him, something about the demon having "good taste"), and after getting to Treviso, he very specifically asked if she was alright- he didn't name any other companion, so that felt significant. I think that if you go long enough with them before doing this quest, the implication of them being kind-of-together becomes more explicit. (They did say in the promo stuff at one point that there will be an NPC romance that makes a choice in the game more difficult, I didn't think it would be this one, but yeah, it definitely came earlier than I had expected.

I don't know if they will reconcile after this- it would be weird if they did, when she had all of the same exact reasons to choose Minrathous as a Shadow Dragon Rook. if they reconcile, it might be possible for Rook to still romance him too, but I wouldn't bet on it.

The choice didn't cut me off from the Treviso area, but I DID get a prompt that said that the waypoints will need to be rediscovered, and it DID remove Lucanis' personal quest from my journal, so I think I'll be reloading to just before recruiting Davrin, and doing that part all again.

Overall I think I lost like a good, idk, 2 hours of progress and Davrin for the time being, but that's with my slow, exploratory playstyle- now that I know what I'm doing, it'll probably go faster.

I won't lie and say that I'm not a little bit bitter about this, but I'm not exempt from "you can deal" when applicable either, lol.

I just wish it had at least, like, another "progress with the main quest?" prompt or something, because I gotta say, I really didn't like that the recruitment quest of the first warrior character tossed me immediately into this. Feels like Mass Effect 2, but at least there you could choose the order in which you recruit the first batch of available companions...

If you're not playing a warrior yourself (which I know most people aren't, it's definitely my preference though), three out of the four companions you get before this part are ranged (two mages, two rogues), and you're basically going the whole game until now without a tank- I think many are likely to rush into recruiting Davrin asap, and that decision fucking things up for them like this, it's... kind of weird. I don't like this aspect.

So, yeah. Might be useful to finish the Treviso and Minrathous quests before recruiting Davrin.

They are keeping me away from my Warden husband, damn it, i don't WANNA go to Treviso, I wanna smooch. :c

4. piece you wish got more love?

…honestly, it's really hard to point to any specific piece! my favourites tend to feature my wol/ship and i'm sat here looking at them, like, okay maybe these aren't pulling in huge numbers in comparison to my own npc centric art or others' wol art, but i don't really expect those pieces to do that in the first place AND more often than not, people (you included, thank you very much <3) leave such kind and thoughtful tags on them, so to me they always feel so well-loved anyway!!!

i suppose if i had to pick something… i'm still really happy with this pixel set from last year, i miss working in this style, so it's been on my mind!!

oh, colours, definitely, both in the sense of picking out the overall colour scheme and the style itself. i don't always get it right and sometimes i'm mucking around with new brushes and techniques and end up failing because of that, but most of the time i do feel like i know what i'm doing and where i am going and i can generally pinpoint pretty well what's bothering me and how to course correct if i do happen to be struggling. i've just always loved this part of the process and it's easy to be confident when you're having a great time hahaha

[kingsdespair-if]

How I discovered this IF is when I was scrolling on Tumblr on my computer since I always have s habit of test play games to see it's up my alley.

And when I saw this I thought why not make my MC a flirt and now THIS HAPPENS. 😭😭😭

What inspire this project?????

Hello again, dear.

Thank you for sharing how you found my IF; it's always interesting for me to know. It's also funny to hear that you came to be the flirty one and ended up falling for the resident playboy hahaha

The whole story is actually an adaptation from a DnD campaign that I created to play with my friends, where I was the Dungeon Master. The ROs are NPCs from my DnD campaign with the same name (King's Despair), and most of the other important characters, like the human Prince and Horseshoe, are also NPCs from my campaign.

As for what inspired me to create the story… Well, A Song of Ice and Fire, Lord of the Rings, Dark Souls, Elden Ring, and The Witcher have all had a huge influence on me. They helped me design the universe of the IF.

Thank you for your interest and for your question. I hope this fulfills your curiosity.

And since you're such a huge Veldon fan, here's a pic of him that I made while fooling around one of these days.

[katyspersonal]

Roderika and Nepheli are really cute as a ship imo. I love how Nepheli mentions her in one of her dialogues, meaning that they at least interacted at some point. I know it's a small detail to base a ship around, but I do think they might be very neat together. What are your thoughts?

It IS a cute ship! I have not seen it very often, actually but it is probably because all two of my ER mutuals reblog either Finlenia or Yura x Eleanora sdfhfd I am sure it exists somewhere, because Nepheli acknowledging Roderika is very good at perceiving spirits "unlike her" not only implies having interacted, but also points out how they are different. I really love ships in which characters are 'opposites' in a way that complete one another, whereas being similar at their core, big fan. And? They are fitting the description! Nepheli is a strong, tough warrior that points out she can't even feel the spirits, let alone see them, whereas Roderika is naturally drawn to them and good at spirit tuning whereas having "never held a sword in her life"; but at the same time they are both sensitive and vulnerable emotionally while trying to be strong! Roderika says she is 'just a coward' for being scared of the idea of her limbs being cut off, Nepheli says she is 'pathetic' for being heartbroken about her father betraying her... There is just something similar to this, the whole vibe of having enough emotions but not being "weak" for that I keep trying to grasp (because I LOVE it).

🦅 Nepheli though rolls into blaming herself for Gideon being the worst father ever, as if she "failed" him and it served her right, while also hesitantly seeing through his injustice, and I feel like Roderika would be the one to recognize this pain and detrimental effect Gideon can have on psyche of even very strong and level-headed people and try to approach her about it? They DID interact, right. Roderika IS anxious and hesitant, but also has very good intuition for good and evil it seems, so Nepheli's strong appear as this... barbaric, no-bullshit warrior would not intimidate her. She'd see Nepheli's kind and good heart beneath it even before once talking to her! Basically, I feel like their talk happened from Roderika having been concerned, in the 'Sorry if that's not my business but do you need to vent' manner!

🎐 In fact, the contrast between Nepheli's "he betrayed me and killed and oppressed the weak but it is probably my fault... right" vs Roderika's "I sense very bad vibes from a person all the opposite way in the Rountable who is not even physically here" feels like a nearly-comedic potential for me! x) Roderika is good at identifying the bad guy, when Nephelis is good at taking the bad guy down! I just imagine Roderika being like "Get 'em, baby!" in the duo, sending Nepheli to obliterate the bastard with her axes fsdhdf They could've done so much combining their strenghts and compensating for each other's weaker points hahaha. Dangerous duo (in a good sense)

🦅 They are THE "She asked for NO pickles!" meme and you KNOW it, lol

🎐 Lowkey sad though that this ship doesn't have enough 'breathing room' within canon: Nepheli gets her spirits lifted up because of a bird spirit ash and not Roderika (sure she'd credit her for help and not only Tarnished otherwise) and is always off to travel, whereas Roderika is pretty much glued to the Roundtable... It is all videogame mechanics restrictions. SO yeah, we need an Elden Ring anime where useful NPCs do not have to be area-restricted and after Roderika feels more qualified, she and Nepheli can become wandering girlfriends that get a lot of adventures and appear to help Tarnished when it is plot-convenient x) (for some reason, all my suggestions for more interaction boil down to 'if ER/BB was an anime, ...')

🦅 Roderika is rather eloquent, when Nepheli is a woman of a few words, so I am sure they fall for the dynamics of 'wall of text vs just listens and smiles' too! Nepheli would not understand all that many of Roderika's interests personally and she is not the type of an ethusiatic listener that asks many questions or always has something to add, but, she would remember every single think Roderika shared and care about it (some times, even more than Roderika herself). Nepheli is a type of a partner to remember a thing Roderika said 'casually' like months ago, or get her something she mentioned liking as a gift.. Roderika would not really know how anyone is able to navigate in how many things she's sharing so easily :')

🎐 Nepheli might be really stoic person, actually, capable of swallowing so much grief and loss and get up after everything that happens to her, but Roderika would sorta get through this attitude. Like, Nepheli would absolutely LOSE it if someone hurt Roderika. I feel like Nepheli might even worry a little upon realizing that with all the friends lost in battle or slain by enemies she had to grieve in a lifetime, losing Roderika would actually destroy her. She'd wonder if her identity as a warrior gave a crack for that one, at first! It is just scary to get so 'open', when a warrior must be self-sufficient and prepared to lose friends and comrades by default! And love is a bit... different. But I think the girls would be capable of communicating about it, and Nepheli would accept that she found someone to hold as dear as to have her life (mentally) depend on them... Not without insisting that Roderika gets at least SOME training in battle, so she can stand for herself IF Nepheli can't be near. Be an archer or a wizard if she can't hold meelee weapon at least!

🦅 Going back to Nepheli having her perception blurred when the enemy is not apparent, with Roderika having intuition for bad vibes. I imagine if Nepheli mentioned Gideon's friend, Seluvis, Roderika would be instantly able to reveal to her that "hey, that actually was a creep behavior"... They have a base for accidentally uncovering bad experiences (if not traumas) Nepheli never even realized consciously yet still took psychological damage from, and getting through them together. There would be certainly a bunch of cans of worms upon how Gideon was raising her, but not just that. "It was emotional abuse / creep behaviour" are the WORST realizations, but also with a right person it could help to heal some things that were bugging you for years but you just.. could not point out. I also imagine Roderika would be the one and only person that ever saw Nepheli cry - from one of such talks..

🎐 I think Nepheli actually holds Roderika in higher regard over the fact that Roderika is anxious, and can even be very cowardly and undecisive by her own admission, yet finds resource within herself to forgive her weaknesses and "atone" for indecisiveness by being useful otherwise. Nepheli would normally condemn the trait of giving into fear and hesitating when something important should be done (which I imagine is Roderika's consistent flaw and not just 'I am scared of being literally chopped to pieces because it is a normal thing for Soulsborne NPC to say' sdfhfhdfsdh). But Nepheli could see the internal struggle and wish to still persist, flaws or not. THAT mattered. She was quick to respect this attitude; in fact, she DID find it comparable with someone realizing they are not physically fit for melee fight and opting out to help in other ways, as healer or archer or something.

🦅 I am kinda diving into Psychology TM a lot here, I just think ER characters are written with particularly a lot to work with (Martin was that your effect? xd). But as for RELATIONSHIP-relationship, they both can't be less interested in sex. Undecided whether they're asexual or just 'too into spirituality / battle to care', probably both of these, but yes, overall it is just hugs and kisses. I just can't help but imagine their mutual attraction being mostly 'god I would LOOK the hell out of you' xd I think Nepheli would really like to hug Roderika, not only to share affection but sometimes because it is her emotional support spirit-tuner x) But Roderika is more 'kisses' person. She especially likes giving cheek or forehead kisses.

🎐 Overall, I think they are doing QUITE healthy and good for people that did not have real relationship experience prior? Nepheli was just not the type to take it further than blushing when she'd see a pretty girl and.. that was it. Well, maybe a couple of times, when she was little, she'd try to "flirt" by slaying a scary monster and bringing it's claw/tooth/etc to the girl she'd try to court, which they really did not get xD I picture Dolores being around and that little Nepheli would ask her what she was doing wrong... Dolores would say that it was a "perfect" way to flirt but the girls were just too young to get it yet, and Nepheli was too ahead xddd Roderika would attempt relationship as a teen a couple of times, and quit both of them upon hesitating and estimating she was not good enough for that person. Low self-esteem was hitting her harder in younger age. What I am saying is that sometimes when the first 'real' relationship only happens in adulthood, there are plenty of conflicts to wade through as people don't know what to do... but these two I imagine clicked naturally, and things went rather swell?

Thank you for an ask! Sorry it took some while, I tend to be sorta slow at the answers ъ_ъ"

[arytha]

Chu Tianshu thought for a while: "Are you sure nothing unexpected happened yesterday?" "Yesterday..." Lin Huai thought for a while, "The NPC who assassinated me seems to have drank my blood... Could it be that he has mutated?" "It makes sense." Chu Tianshu said, "I'll find him after I've settled this. As for you—you stay home for me." Lin Huai: … "Why do you have to lock me back?" he asked. "You know that if I want to run, I can run away at any time." "Then I'll take you back." Chu Tianshu carried the wrench and squinted his eyes, "Don't say such irresponsible words! Do you know that I killed you for an afternoon, almost killing you until i have a psychological shadow..." "Actually," Lin Huai said slowly, "I can also willingly and obediently... stay at home." Chu Tianshu: …

Lin Huai raised his chin and opened his hands: "Hey, do you want to play a game?" "what game?" "I'll fall backwards from here now." Lin Huai said, "You can try to catch me, or you can try to do an experiment." "Because of my serious injury, I will be divided into many mes, many many mes." Lin Huai looked at the sky, "Then, after you find the real me from those people... Then tell me this fairy tale. Then After this, if you win—" "I'll just listen to you and stay at home obediently." Lin Huai said, "Is that okay?" He glanced at Chu Tianshu out of the corner of his eyes, and the latter smiled fearlessly when he saw the look in his eyes. "It's quite a sense of ceremony..." Chu Tianshu said, "Okay." Lin Huai burst out laughing. He opened his arms and fell straight from the beam that was 20 meters horizontally and 10 meters vertically away from Chu Tianshu. The whistling wind blew past his ears, in the strong sense of weightlessness and the fear of landing. He heard his body make a "bang" from the collision. A dull sound. He knew he was supposed to break and fall apart. Every inch of his bones would break, and a lot of blood would pour out. His body will be reshaped after getting enough nutrients, and his hundreds of replicas will slowly crawl out of every drop of blood. But he was not afraid. He looks forward to all the chaos, all the pain. However, what greeted him was not the concrete floor, but the warmth of another person. It took him ten seconds to realize that he was in someone's... arms. With sweat, with wind, with air, with sullen... arms. "Hahaha, hahaha..." He laughed loudly, unabashedly, utterly insolent, terribly excited. Then he stretched out his hand, savagely, and reached out— Hooked the man's neck. "I lost." He hugged the man's neck and said almost viciously. The gambler who is always winning, said, he lost. But on that laughing face, there was no depression, no sadness, no weakness, and no timidity. After laughing, he hooked the other person's neck and rubbed his face into the other person's arms contentedly. Delicate roses wither when they get too close to the heat, but he doesn't. He heard the heartbeat of "dong dong", felt the heat of sweat, his tightly clasped hands, and the fear and happiness as if he was dying. At that moment, he was extremely grateful that he was a human being. The man hugging him did not speak. He couldn't help but look up. He guessed that this person's eyes might be a little sullen, a little panicked, or a little bit, the pain and discomfort of his arm being hit by the high-speed fall... He pondered his thoughts and thought about what might happen to him. reaction. He is not a person who likes to figure out what other people think. Even if there is, it is never for the purpose of "wanting to know what this person thinks of himself." But he was happy to do it to this man at this moment. To his surprise, or perhaps to his surprise, this man overturned all his speculations. He held him, he looked down at him, his face was cold, his eyes were deep, and there was no smile, as if he was some strange creature. —Did he guess I was going to jump off? What is he working on? What am I to him? - What is he thinking now?

The many questions made him hot, so he smiled. "I'll stay home for the next week—until the school festival," he said. "And you—have to tell me all your stories." He meant something. After a long while, the deep eyes that stared at him finally slowly, slowly burst into a little smile. "Okay." Chu Tianshu picked him up and said, "I'll tell you a little duck story..." Lin Huai: … Chu Tianshu: "Once upon a time, there was a mountain, there was a temple on the mountain, and there was an old monk in the temple... Hey! Don't break free from me, go by yourself!"

Ok resubmitting this. post. anyways aaaaaaaa this will Always get me. the buildup to this 🥺🥺🥺

My Food Is Possessive Of Me

This place is huge... 

Annelie glances around the halls of RAD, watching as students pass by noisily chattering. 

???: Need some help?

Annelie glances behind her to see a white-haired male. 

???: Annelie, right?

Annelie: Ah... you must be Solomon. 

Solomon: Bingo. I heard you were meant to be a human transfer here like myself, but...

Annelie: Stuff happened. 

Annelie smiles crookedly. 

Annelie: Not really human anymore. 

Solomon: Well, it’s a shame to lose your humanity, I suppose, but there are worse things that could have happened. 

Solomon starts walking with Annelie. 

Solomon: So where are you heading? 

Annelie: Devildom Art History.

Solomon: Hm? I’m going there too. Hahaha. That’s convenient; I imagine that was intentional, given Lord Diavolo’s personality. It gives us more time to talk as well. 

Annelie: About?

Solomon: Well, I must confess I’m very curious about your status as a demon. How did you become one? How did you feel about it? 

Annelie: I don’t know really know how it happened, but I was initially distraught. Now, I’m just kind of conflicted. Does that alleviate your curiosity?

Solomon: Conflicted?

Annelie: Being a succubus is hard. 

Solomon: I see. Well, if it’s of any comfort to you, I’d like to help you any way I can while you study here, so don’t hesitate to call me. You may not be human anymore, but I still consider you one. 

Annelie: Thank y—

Lucifer: Annelie, there you are. You forgot this. 

Lucifer approaches and hands a D.D.D. to Annelie. 

I didn’t forget shit. And you appeared out of freaking nowhere like some kind of tutorial NPC. 

Lucifer: Really now... you can’t forget something so essential. Please be a little less careless from now on. It’s bad enough that I have to feed you. 

Solomon and Annelie look at each other. 

Does he think Solomon doesn't know what feeding me entails, or is he just pretending to be polite? It's a warning either way from where I'm standing. Possessive little shit.  

Annelie: Thank you. 

Lucifer seems to be waiting expectantly for something. 

Annelie: ...sir. 

Lucifer: Haha. What a good pet. 

Annelie: Are you still mad about last night?

Lucifer: I have no idea what you're talking about. 

Annelie: I thought you were mad that I wouldn't wear the skirt for the RAD uniform and stole your pants.

Lucifer: ...my pants fit you?

Lucifer seems somewhat at a loss as he looks at the pants Annelie is wearing.  

Annelie: Hiked up to my stomach with a belt, yes. I told you I could make it work. 

Though in hindsight, it’s actually more uncomfortable than wearing a skirt. 

Lucifer: There are a lot of things I’d like to say, but as I don’t have the time, remind me when you come home to get you pants that are your size. 

Annelie: Eh?

Lucifer: I don’t have a problem with you wearing pants, Annelie, and neither does Diavolo. 

Annelie: Then what was that whole 20 minute argument about?!

Lucifer: The tone you used with me. 

Annelie mutters under her breath. 

Annelie: I’ll tone you. 

Lucifer: I heard that. Don’t forget that I can make your life a living hell if I so choose. 

Annelie: But I’m already in hell. 

Lucifer: Devildom. 

Annelie: Same thing. 

Solomon leans over to whisper to Annelie. 

Solomon: Hell is a human concept. Some take it as an insult to have their home compared to that kind of miserable construct. The Devildom is more of an embodiment of chaos rather than eternal damnation. 

Annelie: So I touched a nerve?

Solomon: I think you have a talent for getting on his nerves. Ahahaha. 

Annelie: Well, it’s kind of fun to antagonize him just for his reactions.

Solomon: I’m liking you more and more, Annelie. 

Annelie: Call me Anne.

Lucifer: Oi, what are you two whispering about?

Annelie: Oh, nothing important. Just nice things. Anyway, is that all? I think me and Sol have to get going before you make us late. 

Lucifer: No. 

Lucifer steps closer and buttons Annelie’s collar to her neck. 

Lucifer: Wear your uniform properly. 

He’s definitely acting like this because of Solomon. 

He walks away, and Annelie glances back at Solomon, who is chuckling to himself.

Solomon: What an interesting relationship you two have. 

Annelie: Tell me about it.

🍀 with byte? though if you want to answer this about all your ocs I won't complain 👀

🍀 - What originally inspired the OC?

I won't answer with all of them bcus I have over 50 but I can answer with the main ones :D!

Byte!

For Byte my main inspiration was myself! Byte was my Sonicsona, so they were basically "What would I be in Sonic's world?" but with my personality exaggerated and villainized.

The rest under the cut~

Angel!

For Angel it was bcus I saw a picture of a character working in a flower shop, so I kinda felt like making a gardener. Angel is not my first gardener character but I still wanted another LOLOLOL Windmill Village was also a huge inspiration factor, since most of his concept was inspired from Tinker and what happened in that village

Ampere!

For Ampere it was a RP I was doing in 2020. A friend roleplayed Tinker and I roleplayer Angel, both living in Windmill Village, so when Tinker found an eggpawn and Elder Scruffy wanted to make sure that the robot wasn't harmful, I realized we needed a mechanic that was an expert in Eggman tech but algo hero aligned, so that's how Ampere was born! As a rp npc lol

Cipher!

There was an owl background character in a Sonic IDW cover and I was like "I want an owl oc" lol, their design is inspired in a concept prototype I had made years ago based on a Rowlet + an old oc of mine who was a mechanic

Cyani!

I just wanted a crazy nurse character -papming-

Wrench!

For Wrench it was my BATIMsona Joseph, I wanted to turn him into a sonic character so that's how Wrench came to be. Winry Rockbell is also a huge inspiration for them since they're basically an automail mechanic hahaha

Fortune!

This is silly, but... I wanted an Eggman Empire oc to interact with Kimmy's oc Vino, so that prompted me to create Fortune ;v;

Sprout!

I wanted Angel to have an apprentice in the mainline of the story since he was lonely after Tinker was turned into Eggman, that's how Sprout came to be :3

Chamber!

... I wanted a boyfriend for Starline LOLOLOLOLOLOL

Super Mario Brothers in Theatre?

I don't care what anyone says this movie is great. It's so bizarre and fun and weird. They took the source material and absolutely turned it upside down. From the very beginning explaining how the meteor that killed the dinosaurs split our reality into two different universes... We evolved from apes when the dinosaurs died, but they evolved from dinosaurs when dinosaurs survived?! WHAT? Its Super Mario?! The intro of the Goombas and Koopas looking like absolute nightmares. Not to mention the set designs and practical effects. The brothers intro in Brooklyn is heartwarming. There's so much you can hate about this movie, but even more you can love. I know people think I'm nuts but I will die on this hill! 

I recently had the HONOR to see this movie in a packed theatre for it's 30th anniversary put on by "Dumpster Racoon". The mixed reactions only made this movie I've seen 100 times since I was a kid even better... the gasps when the twin towers turned into Koopa towers... awesome. Hahaha.

Anthony Olivira hosted the event (He's the one dressed as Bowser) He runs ''Dumpster Racoon'' and he hosts a queer film series that does screenings at the Revue Cinema every month.

Before the movie started I walked into a full blown Mario Kart Tournament in this vantage theatre. Between the concessions line up and general fans the theatre was alive with all sorts of dressed up Nintendo characters.

As the crowd settled, the costume contest started. Specific... and non specific costumes walked across the stage. The winner was rated on crowd reactions. Despite the great costumes, nerdism prevailed. The winner... was non other than...

...a random NPC from Mario is Missing on the SNES!!! If that doesn't tell you, you have an audience filled with diehards nerds I don't know what does?

Perry and I talked about going in costume. It never happened but I was thinking...

After that was the drag show! A sexy Piranha Plant sang songs and slowly found her way out of her warp pipe. Hahahaha. When everyone was nice and settled into weirdness with a side of Mario Brothers... the lights lowered... the movie started...

Megami Tensei [SNES] livetweet thread (2/2)

oh absolutely

~

when npcs talked about hidden doors i panicked thinking i was gonna get into another time-consuming bullshit à la strange journey but it's pretty straightforward actually. our little friend will tell us when we walk into the right room

i'm curious what its name is in japanese because the only ruth result i'm seeing on google is a biblical woman and i don't think it's rukh from the middle eastern myth either since it's supposed to be a bird lol

~

here's our OG cu. when he hid his beauty under a chunky armor

man it's funny how this perspective made the demons look tiny as fuck. pocket-size cu

~

okay NOW we can finally move the fucking on

We Have Reached ENDGAAAAAAME

you don't go outside in MT since the whole game happens inside-dungeon but they still have an overworld map (seen in the 3rd pic) where you can check which floor you're at and have an idea of how far you are progressing. the type of feature that truly makes sense in a nes game

~

oh lord. there he is

MT sure had a lot of myth figures that made a meaningful comeback in smtiv/a aside krishna... minotaur, medusa (these two even exactly as the first two bosses), dullahan, izanami herself, seth, mephisto, baal and a miserably small beelzebub

~

logged in SMT real quick to remember why i barely used the heroine as a healer there and oh yeah... MT is super scarce with items to the point it doesn't give you any kind of potion whatsoever meanwhile in SMT you're constantly fuming trying to get rid of them because almost every enemy drops them and the encounter rate is insane so in like 3 steps your item list reached the limit

i feel bad for yumiko because even at maximum MAG her sp only goes until 99 and diarahan is like 10. poor girl gets drained hard and can't multi-attack while the SMT heroine is living the life using beads and guns

~

nakajima: hahaha yeah man xD

this feels the equivalent of playing the pacifist route of undertale right after a genocide run

~

~

i love how even for a happier outcome than the original they still went ahead and fucked everything right at the end

and THAT'S IT for the first megami tensei folks! they don't even show the credits and instantly throw us to the sequel. very cool transition tbh

~

oh so they were pretty self aware of nakajima acting ooc in the game

it's funny to imagine them not considering retouching the script even in later versions and just going "darn if you wanna see his schizo moments go read the books then"

Was curious how many of the Sims 4 bugs on this list I've encountered… it's a lot

Part One because I guess this is too many bugs even for tumblr hahaha

Jumpy Animations/Sims teleport - since a long time ago but worse now Routing/Sit down issue on several interactions - love to watch my sims wander around like ants looking for somewhere to sit with a chair right in front of them. especially love when I tell me sim to go play a game at the card table in the same room, and instead they go outside, walk around the entire house, come back in and then sit at the table. guess they just felt like a walk first lol Music from other modes Plays During Live Mode - yup and usually overlapping. fix with restart but it often happens in CAS where you lose all your stuff if you quit… Lag for menu to show up when clicking on objects - especially the fridge/oven!!!! Sims keep moving after paused Sims do DU homework under laptops - not just DU tho I get this for anything that can be done at a table, including eating, and sometimes it's not even a portable laptop but a computer Sim won't accept queued commands/ Sims don't do actions - this was supposedly "console" but as a non-console player I know it happens to the rest of us too. also to most of us Lots with manipulated terrain look realistic/strange in world view - idk if this is a bug, i think probably that's just how it appears. but it is weird Fishing Identification for active Sim with no fishing skill - I think this one has been around since base game. Sims 4 really wants everyone to love fishing. I'll be like. mourning the death of Sim Grandpa. And all of a sudden 6-year-old Sim Grandson will "identify the Perch!" Multiple daily calls for sim to switch careers - CONSTANTLY. EVEN WITH PHONE ON SILENT MODE! Excessive use of Cross Stitch Basket - yep. I get it the worst with cross stitch, but I find it annoying that other hobbies which cost money like knitting and painting are autonomous as well. Either there should be a "practice" object which is the default and is free or this stuff shouldn't be autonomous. Food too tbh… I have tried playing rags to riches before, and one reason I gave up was just this - it was so hard to keep control of finances because sims have no concept of saving pennies lol Railings Clipping Through Walls - hate this so ugly Multi-story columns misaligned Foundation becomes see-through Sim Gets Fear of the Dark After Being Cured - all the fears and wants sucked. they're boring, curing then is boring, they have little impact except just ruining your sims day, and YEAH, they come back after being cured!! best to turn it off just like neighborhood stories Constantly dirty surroundings moodlet from Pressure Cooker and Kettle - I'm not 100% sure I've got this one, I will check the next time I play. However I've had multiple issues with these objects: sims constantly cooking with them when their queue is empty, and constant fires originating with them. Lately my sims was complaining her kitchen was dirty but I could not find anything dirty. She's a Neat sim, but even after having her clean everything, and then going into build mode and moving stuff to look for plates that might have gotten stuck under objects and are hard to see, the room still registered as dirty. I'm thinking it was the pressure cooker or kettle, or maybe even pizza oven which she also has Upgraded beds give two contradictory moodlets - yup spend hours upgrading your bed and the sims like "what a bad sleep!" Sims on home lot don't take care of needs when active sims away - yeah two sims in my house recently almost starved bc of this NPCs take food ordered by active Sim - yup! again ruining my rages to riches haha No evolve option (ready to evolve) - yes and yes I've checked that the plants are in season. Also having major issues with other gardening things especially on community lots Very High Household Bills While On Vacation Campfire causes too many fires - really frustrating for me bc I use the campfire a lot. I absolutely love camping gameplay but between constant fires and thunderstorms where you're 100% guaranteed to get electrocuted (9_9) it really sucks
