What REALLY happened at the end of MWIII

SPOILERS AHEAD! PLEASE PLEASE DNI IF YOU DON'T WANT SPOILERS

This is based off of convos I've had with @sofasoap about what really happened at the end of the game

(The gif is us BTW)

The smack against Johnny's temple shook him quite a bit. Having a pistol go off right next to your ear isn't something very comfortable either. So while Price and Gaz disarmed the bomb, he lay on the ground his eyes unfocused and dazed. There was blood in his eyes, streaming from the cut on his head. Headwounds always bleed a lot anyway, and his shoulder wound was only adding to the crimson on the ground. After the bomb was taken care of and his ears had stopped ringing, he was able to hear the last bit of Price's sentence. "-KIA." "The fuck? I'm not dead!" He went to grab his radio but his arm burst into pain. Oh...that's right. His arm got shot. At least he would be symmetrical now. One shot from Las Almas, one shot from here. Great. "Stay down Johnny...don't mess this up..." Simon mumbled as he patted his vest and disconnected his radio. "Mess what up?" He started to say before Simon put a gloved hand over his mouth. Johnny rolled his eyes and decided that taking a nap would be good right about now. "Yeah...make it believable. Ghost, put some more blood on the other side of his head.." Gaz was getting involved now, a grin on his face. ----------- "You can't be serious.." Johnny was sitting in medical, his arm and temple being stitched up as he pouted. "Deathly." Price said while filling out the correct paperwork. His own death certificate.

Gaz snorted in the corner as he started filling up an urn with the ashes of some other poor soldier who didn't make it. "Makarov thinks you're dead. That's a win for us. We get a new guy and you work in the shadows." Price looked up at Ghost who patted Johnny's un-wounded shoulder. "Like in Las Almas." Simon said softly. Johnny was starting to understand now. The long game...that made sense. "Alright. I get it. But the urn? Seriously Gaz?" "Gotta make it look legit. Now...where do you want your ashes spread?" Kyle was smirking and Johnny rolled his eyes. "I don't fuckin' know. How about the highlands? Over the ocean? Sounds kinda interesting." Simon snorted next to him. "Basic bitch.." He grumbled while standing to grab a backpack to carry the urn in. --------

There they went, the ashes floating over the ocean.

"Well...looks like I need a new callsign." Johnny said while shrugging his shoulders and putting his hands in his pockets. he smiled and nudged Simon with his elbow. "Hey, you're not the only dead man on the team anymore! perhaps I should be Ghost now." Simon rolled his eyes and shook his head. "Nah, needs to start with S, so we don't get you confused. How about Sprit. With that haircut of yours, you look like that fuckin' animated horse." They all looked at Simon. "You watch cartoons mate?" Gaz asked while raising his eyebrow. "Sue me, the music was good." Was the sharp reply. There was silence for a moment before Gaz spoke up again. "When I pretend to die, I wanna be called Spectre or something. Something epic and scary. nothing like your basic ones." "How about none of you pretend to die anymore okay? Jesus, you're all twisted." Price sighed while putting his hat back on his head. "Oh! We need to give you a new name sir! When you inevitably need to fake your death too," Soap said while they began to walk away from the cliff. "That's not-" "Phantom." Simon. "Nah, too basic. Cash Money is better. Because his name is Price." Gaz. "Peepaw." Everybody froze and looked at Soap. "Peepaw?" Price repeated, raising an eyebrow. "Johnny, I'm only thirty eight." Soap shrugged his shoulders and raised his hands in mock surrender. "That's ancient by our standards sir. One foot in the grave already. Ghost has been planning your wake for months now and I just know your knees ache in the-" Ghost whacked him. His own knees had started to creak and crack when he rose from bed every morning. "Watch your fuckin' mouth Mactavish." "Aye L.T"

e👀

alroight so this google doc is called spider, it's my spiderinnit fic. i've definitely talked about it before but it starts out basically like. tommy is this 16 year old highschooler living in a shit apartment with his best friend/brother wilbur who works at a newspaper. tommy's best friend tubbo works as a sort of scientist/intern at phil and techno's corporation thang that is funded by dream. tubbo is working on some spider venom bullshit to cure various life threatening diseases except every animal who's been injected with the venom erm... dies. horribly. badly. and then tommy finds the spiders and goes omggg spiders hiw epic. and gets bit. badly. so tubbo thinks he is going to fucking die. but he actually gets epic instead.

and so i've always thought that if tommy ever became a superhero he would tell tubbo and wilbur IMMEDIATELY. like he just couldnt help himself. so basically either the day they think tommy's dying or the day after (havent decided yet) wilbur knows.

and it's basically just like. tommy being a superhero!! having fun!! fighting crime and saving people!! wilbur still makes him go to school even though he's fucking cool as shit and can swing from rooftop to rooftop but Whatever.

i've also always had the hc that if tommy and wilbur were in a superhero situation and tommy got the powers, this would do Bad Things to wilbur bc he needs to be the specialest guy in the world. so basically what happens is that like.

okay i forgot to describe the spiders. so at the beginning of the story there are two, cat and mellohi. tommy is bitten by cat and keeps him as a little pal at he and wilbur's apartment. mellohi is still with tubbo at the lab, and wilbur starts like. breaking in and basically injecting himself with . milked spider venom. except wilbur doesnt know how to do all that, he doesnt know that when you milk a spider vomit comes out, so the powers are like. duller and he has to get a fix fairly often.

but basically he starts to pretend to be a hero known as the general who like. is a mentor figure to tommy. who btw TOMMY DOES NOT KNOW WILBUR IS DOING ALL OF THIS. wilbur's being insane all on his own. but wilbur also is?? not a fucking superhero he's newer to this than tommy so his mentoring is erm. not great but tommy thinks he's the coolest ever bc it's fuckin tommy and wilbur.

but yeah there are a few other major players in the story. there's pandas aka sapnap who is a hero and is supposed to be against vigilantes but fucks with tommy's vibe so they're friends. and there's the angel of death and the blade who are like vigilantes bordering villain. also wilbur's coworker quackity who becomes high ace later on. also dream who is mostly a background player in part one but becomes a whole lot more important in part two. also ranboo does something i dont fucking know.

the story is kind of uhhh. a mess. it's also one of the very few fics i've written where the crimeboys dynamic is a l'manburg dynamic rather than a post-pogtopia dynamic. so it's a bit. difficult for me to actually write LMAO. i've written a good chunk of chapter one though bc i just fucking love writing tommy be silly as shit.

this fic has a few parts but ive only really fleshed out the first part but this is basically how the first part ends.

and yeah. that's sort of a small rundown on the spiderinnit fic.

[mrs-monaghan]

Hi. I was thinking about something, i don't know if others have already thought about it. It's about the "taekook subunit" a lot tkkers have been pushing since ages (not gonna lie I would like a VJK subunit, or a song). They said their voices are great together, that they are the most powerful duo etc. But why do I have the feeling that if Taennie for example is confirmed they wouldn't care less about it.

Forget about the vermin. Of course if V confirms his rlship they will dip. Some already did after Paris. Whatever. Fuck them.

What i wanna talk about is that one comment. Taekook Most powerful duo? Are they high?? I know they hate Jimin but they're not the only people who sleep on Jimin. There is a difference between most popular duo and most powerful duo. Are Tkk the most popular members? Sure. Most followers, most views on fancams, yeah, sure. But are they the most powerful duo? Umm... no they're fucking not!

(Mind you, people didn't start getting obsessed with fancams until one of Jimin's fancams got millions of views. Then it became a thing in kpop to want your fav to have the most fancam views)

The most powerful duo is Jimin and Jungkook. End of. And this ain't me being biased. The numbers don't fucking lie. I show that here.

It's the fact that FACE has done nothing but show us the power of Park Jimin and people still be here acting like he ain't a motherfucking king. First of all, let's not sit here and pretend that BTS's popularity wasn't boosted by the fact that they have a Jimin. Alright?

People always getting pressed and trying to ot7 this saying PJMs are acting like solos. That all members are the reason BTS are BTS. Yes, all members bring something to the table but guess what? All kpop groups can sing and dance and most can also write their own music. It takes talent and effort but guess what, it's not unique.

You know what's unique? This.

And This.

And definitely This.

You can sit and deny Jimin has the IT factor but even the members will disagree with you. Even they know the value of Jimin and what he has done for the group.

JK during black swan acknowledging just how lucky they were to have Jimin, a member who studied modern dance in their corner. No one is making this shit up. BST Jimin will always be a Legend

People talking about how Jimin isn't popular worldwide when he's known as the Naruto of Kpop. I know nothing about Anime but I know or the name Naruto. That's the Jimin impact.

When BTS debuted Jimin was the most popular member btw. Go watch their early interviews and see how many fans wanna talk to Jimin when they call. He was the most popular member, easy.

Yeah, JK is the most popular BTS member currently but so is Jimin. We need someone to take a new consensus fr fr coz Jimin pulls numbersssssss.

Shit, why you think haters go so hard on him? They see it. They know it. Park Jimin is IT.

Fullstop.

Oh! One more thing if a JK solo sees this. Y'all need to understand something. Jimin doesn't NEED JK. He was doing perfectly fine on his own, way before JK started reacting to Jimin's FACE related shit. He was already breaking records. He was already everywhere with none BTS kpop fans reacting to Set Me Free left right and centre. So no, Jimin does not need Jungkook.

I don’t celebrate JK promoting Jimin because I think he needs the push. I celebrate it because I know they're together and I'm a Jikooker. So I think JK is being a really sweet boyfriend doing this even if he doesn't need to. He knows he doesn't need to. It's not the first time he's done something for Jimin even though he didn't need to.

So don't get it twisted; its well and good that JK is promoting Jimin but Mimi don't need it. This is just what people who love eo do, they're there for eo.

Okay. Now I'm done.

Bonus.

[imaginarianisms]

bc of the new upcoming animated show on yi ti called the golden empire & later the nine voyages on young corlys velaryon & also nymeria's 1000 ships prequel (all of which i'm super excited for btw lmao), i suspect that these may be the god-emperor dynasties of yi ti ranging from valyria to the present day:

Scarlet Emperors - perhaps the most infamous dynasty. They greatly expanded the empire and strengthened central power. Some were great statesmen, others ruthless but competent, and still others ruthless and incompetent. They moved the capital from Yin to Si Qo (which was left in ruins after their dynasty ended). Many members of the dynasty were wicked and cruel and practiced the dark arts and sorcery and cannibalism like Lo Tho, though Lo Doq ruled wisely and well for more than thirty years. He survived the numerous assassinations within the imperial family by supposedly pretending to be a lackwit struck with an affliction that made him jerk and stagger when he tried to walk limp and drools when he tried to speak while others believe that the true ruler was his formidable wife, Bathi Ma Lo. A famous historical drama recounts his unlikely rise to the throne. The Scarlet Emperors reigned about 2,000 years ago and warred against the Jogos Nhai to the north, the dynasty fell when Emperor Lo Bu, known as the Boy Too Bold By Half was killed in battle by Zhea (who btw is a canonical trans man or at the very least a woman who lived & dressed as a man, so, like, I don't wanna hear ppl in the a.soiaf rpc go all like "bUt I cAnT hAvE a TrAnS cHaRaCtEr!!!!" yes you fucking can that's a canon example right there dont give me that transphobic bs), a jhatar of the Jogos Nhai. Yellow Emperors - died out 1,000 years ago. Traded with the Valyrians, who were then also at the height of their power. Chai Duq, the fourth emperor of the dynasty, took to wife a Valyrian noblewoman and kept a dragon at his court. (in my personal interpretation, House Celtigar descends from this dynasty in the paternal line.) Sea-Green emperors - at least eight emperors under which Yi Ti is said to have achieved the height of its power. They also ruled from Yin. At the apex of its power, they conquered the large island of Leng and Great Moraq off the coast in the Jade Sea, and lands as far away as Qarth, Old Ghis and Asshai paid them tribute. They traded with Valyria. Azure Emperors - the current dynasty, who ruled from Yin in a palace larger than all of King's Landing. The seventeenth azure emperor Bu Gai's rule, however, is being defied by general Pol Qo, who has named himself first of the orange emperors, and by a sorcerer lord who is exiled to the city of Carcosa far to the east of Yi Ti, claims to be the sixty ninth of the yellow emperors, a dynasty fallen for a thousand years. Relatively weak, with the regional princedoms rising in power. Leng broke free from their control about four hundred years ago (which is exactly when the Doom of Valyria happened), so this is what the current dynasty is during the Century of Blood and the Targaryen dynasty and now the Baratheon Era to the present day.

It's annoying that people thinking any criticism of Ned and Robb is basically painting them villains. Robb and Ned are characters who despite being good have flaws and blindspot. How Sansa, Cersei and Cat are called flag bearer of patriarchy when Ned and Robb are directly benefitting from it. Despite being in power they don't try to bring changes. No matter how much they love the girls and Cat, its true that they still believe in patriarchy.

My favorite is people pretending we're supposed to consider the fifteen-year-old kid beyond reproach in his reasoning compared to his useless, irrational mother.

Or the idea that Ned didn't become a victim of his own power to silence and suppress anyone else's influence on his decision-making.

There are really sympathetic and nuanced ways to explain why they make these mistakes. But we are supposed to use our wrinkly brains and understand that mistakes are being made. That their use of their own power, their possession of certain amounts of power is deeply flawed. It's not villainizing them to examine the effect of their own power over others and themselves.

(Which is, btw, why I have such a hard time with the term "flawed" or "mistake" when characters, particularly children, respond to a lack of power or to victimization specifically, because those are very. different. animals. It's when they do re/gain power and choices that we can start talking.)

GRRM is doing such a great job showing (not telling) how this flawed and oppressive system harms everyone, even those in power, and people miss it because he doesn't have Sympathetic Protagonist #7 pointing it out with a flip chart presentation at every instance.

[rainre]

you know what? I don’t care (almost) what kind of response there will be. this is a crossover. Rain World and LfL, how do you like this? I don’t know how to draw, but I love making clay figures and writing, so I’ll try to explain everything with that. I really hope that at least someone will be interested.

I won’t go into details, one of the types of animals that inhabit the Rain World is slugcats. Slugcats are playable characters. These wonderful creatures look like this:

I made Willy-slugcat. that's it.

All slugcats have something like a name, for example, the purple one is called Spearmaster, and the green one is called Saint. The big chubby one's name is Gourmand.

Willy would be called Pretender. His peculiarity is wearing masks that can be obtained from dangerous predators. These masks can be used to scare away other predators. Another property of the Pretender is that he can imitate the sounds of predators larger and more dangerous than the slugcat (for example, the hissing and bubbling of lizards).

It seemed to me that this mechanic was very suitable when we are talking about Willy Mack. . .

It is how slugcat with mask looks like!

I'll move on to Willy. this cutie silly boi:

admit that you fell for this cute, harmless face. . . but this is still the same Willy, who can only be satisfied with meat. he is agile, resistant to falls from great heights, fast, dexterous, and very resourceful. he has a torn ear, the tip of his tail is missing (someone bit it off), he is always covered in scratches and scars. lives on the Sky Islands - a region densely populated with a wide variety of living creatures. One of his weaknesses is that he is a poor swimmer, he quickly gets tired of swimming, but he doesn’t need to swim where he lives.

BTW he's VERY associative slugcat, so he does not squeak and meow like them, he didn't have a chance to learn. His only interactions are hisses and short “barks.” just watch how cats sometimes bark and you will understand what I mean.

Most likely neither LfL fans nor RW fans will watch this. well. . . In any case, I wanted to share my work.

[maepop]

sorry if this has already been asked but what animes / shows do you reccomend? or personal favorites :-) love your art btw ;;

i feel like im better at recommending games and movies maybe coz i usually dont remember what anime ive watched but you know i rly love kamen rider so much myfavorite franchise evurrr LOL my favorite riders are Fourze, Den-O, Geats, Zero-One, Build...just to name a few... i love Ghost too .. so if you're new to riders, you can start with any of those :) i don't watch as much super sentai but i love Donbrothers, Lupinranger vs Patranger, and the currently airing Kingohger ! (i'm soo behind kingohger tho but i rly rly love it so far and i heard the current episodes are rly good...)

other shows i rly like are Breaking Bad + Better Call Saul, Pushing Daisies, and The Good Place . anime i rly love are Great Pretenders, Death Note, Artiswitch, re:Cutie Honey, all ikuni anime (utena, penguindrum, yurikuma, sarazanmai) ... probably more if i remember im better at naming manga i like too sometimes its easier to find rly good experimental manga

[yuukei-yikes]

Vinnie may we have some marry hcs please? I think i kin her and shes been a big fave of mine wah

awesome choice, mary is great!!! sadly i cant rly think of anything i havent already said at one point.... like i love mary, but she's not the character i think of the most

a cute one. since mary doesnt need to eat to survive and i think its rly funny she's only introduced to the concept of eating when moving in with mekatrio, mary cooking.... it would be SO BAD. like this isnt an original hc or anything but like she's rly that bitch creating fires out of NOWHERE.

since her and momo are bfffs and momo's cooking and tastes are. special. they make a lot of abominations together completely unsupervised and it's so bad. do it at momo's house bc both are banned from kido's kitchen and shintaros in his room like Why do i smell burning

i think mary doesnt care for eating and rather enjoys sitting at the table bc she feels included :) mostly wants to cook as a way to show love. eventually gets more into baking than cooking bc its cuter♥️♥️♥️ but everything is always SO nasty you know how it is with baking. its very easy to mess up and everywhere u can mess up, mary messes up. and burns many things.

but she's always looking forward to giving the dan her cupcakes and all that :((( and kido and kano are super prone to teasing but seto is there looking at them like EAT THE DAMN CUPCAKE so theyre like (shiver) then momo wholeheartedly enjoys them because she's insane and the rest is also pretending so hard bc mary seems so excited and she's so sweet. everyone gets sick after

my hcs of her that ive talked abt before include her having a service animal or emotional support animal and its a doggy. bc of her social anxiety and ptsd/hallucinations. and that she and seto are building their own house from scratch like tsukihiko did :3

i also think mary gets her legal identity sorted out post str bc she obviously doesnt have any documents regarding who she is LMAOO and if she's integrating society she's gonna need it... takane helps with this bc. hehe. falsified documents ♥️

setomary are qpp BY THE WAY but are married anyway they elope as soon as theyre 18 bc. idk. partly bc of identity issues with a marriage it makes everything easier for marys documents but also she is so insanely traumatized and seto helps her through EVERYTHING and they love each other so much and seto is like i want to be with you for the rest of my life mary would feel so bad bc... the rest of his life is not the rest of Her life. she knows he will eventually die. and her grandmother's heartbreaking story will just repeat with her but she's gone through so much already but even if mary were to reject seto's love he's just content being by her side and again theyre qpp like setomary is so specific in my mind. theyre both aroace btw♥️ but they get married anyway. bc of reasons.

setomary eloping at 18 super spontaneously and call kido and kano like hey can you come pick us up at the registry office. and kano and kido are like why are you at the registry office. and seto and mary are like erm....

theyre like we NEED this and the dan throws a super improvised wedding and its so silly. ayano wedding planner GONE CRAZY. yknow steven universe There Is An Awful Lot Of Awful Things We Could Be Thinking Of But For Just One Day Let's Only Think About Love. yeah. something like that (ive always wanted to make an animatic of that with kagepro actually...my secret is out) theyre still qpp though. but also married. you get it right.

[kitkatopinions]

"than let poc, women & lgbt+ (just say queer lmao) enjoy a cartoon" made by active antisemites who mocked the holocaust? is that the great defense these people have against also being jkr stans? that there are shitty people in rwde too?

we know this. we've called them out. but the rwby fndm can't even hold rooster teeth or *crwby*, because they're not seperate btw, accountable long enough to not crumble at the first newly released episode. never mind that the company was just outed for the violent abuse of a trans woman, & she did say that crwby are not a separate entity in that abuse. they hurt her too. or how about the physical abuse of animators to the point kim newman broke her spine & cannot work anymore? the mental abuse? the allowance of inappropriate communication with fans? the literal illegal withholding of wages owed. or how about the fact they were complicit in the multiple rapes & sexual assaults of young girls & minors by not having enough safeguarding protocols in their cons where they knew the disgusting men in this company preyed on young, vulnerable fans.

no but clearly rwde are the issue lmao. come back to me when rwde posters enable the rape of a disabled child, you freaks.

The crime of liking a male character means that these people feel justified in sending me endless hate and attacking me and trying to make me feel like shit on the regular (not even mentioning the rape and death threats and people wishing for the extermination of 'my kind' that I've gotten or the person who called my sister the r word shortly after she posted about being autistic.)

BUT when they see ROOSTER TEETH, when they see the racism and bigotry and misogyny demonstrated by people within CRW//BY - When they see people like Ryan Haywood voicing a character that was written to make flirty comments at a minor and never get called out for it and be invited into her house by her father who is apparently old buddies with him, when they see Miles Luna use the n word and then write a story where the group fighting for equality is a terrorist group that with a 'reverse racist' leader who secretly just wants to attack women, when they see the at the time all male writers of the show animating Yang's boobs to jiggle around after comments were made about how they get off on animating women to be hot - much to the delight of a laughing jeering crowd - they can't fucking speak out about it because then they'd feel uwu sad about liking something that's not perfect, they think it's just fine to ignore it and pretend it never happened.

It's pathetic.

[justagalwhowrites]

i got heat exhaustion yesterday (i'm fine btw, i love coastal texas but coastal texas does NOT love me back) so it seems like a great time to start reading beskar doll!

*cut to me with the wiki open looking up every mentioned term or event because i know 0 about star wars and cant even pretend that i do*

writing question: i love that you give nicknames (doc/bambi/doll) to the reader/mc because seeing Y/N always takes me out of the moment. how do you come up with the nicknames and how do you know when you found the right one for that story? they always fit so well!

Hi Bestie!!!

Coastal Texas doesn’t like me either! Having grown up in Texas I can safely say most of the state doesn’t like me lol I hope you’re loving Beskar Doll!!

Thank you so much! I DESPISE the Y/N thing lol I will put down a fic for that and that alone, it glitches my brain and I will never use it. Not knocking anyone who does! It’s just my own personal ick.

The nicknames usually come to me as I’m crafting the character. I’m a character girlie, they’re why I write what I write and they’re always the first piece to a story and I craft their names from there, nickname or otherwise.

For Doc, I wanted something that 1) exemplified her ideal of caring 2) reflected the part of herself she was proudest of and 3) was something that felt natural for people to use. Doc was perfect. I also loved that she started as Kid when she had far less agency in her life but, when the world ended and she made the life she wanted in that trashed world, her name shifted into something more than that.

Doll came from wanting something that was representative of her relationship to the universe around her. I wanted something that could be both derogatory and a term of endearment because of the nature of her relationship to Mando and I wanted something that would reflect her as always kind of being a pawn in the larger machinations of the galaxy. She’s a badass but she’s never had much agency, it’s always been in the service of something else. She kind of reclaimed the idea of being a Doll - and released herself of expectation - while also finding something she wanted in the universe.

For Bambi, her central characteristics - at least at the start of the fic - is that she’s skittish and wild, very animalistic, and she’s always connected more with animals than with people. But she’s also a survivor, like Bambi who has to go on after the death of his mother. It’s kind of a false dichotomy of sounding fragile and delicate while really being almost feral and strong? This will also work well in reverse (I hope!) as she learns to reclaim emotional fragility and vulnerability after everything she’s been through.

I do the same for the real names my characters have for both fics (and yes, Doc has a real name, Bambi does too. Everyone knows Doll’s because it’s in the story, she just doesn’t use it) and books.

For example, in Ace (first book in my book series, first chapter is on here and I can share again if you want!) the main character is named Tenny, short for Tennyson. She’s named that because her parents are literature professors and Tennyson wrote on King Arthur, a great defender of his people. It seemed like the perfect name for someone who puts herself at risk to protect and inform the people of her city. Additionally, her sister is Brontë and her story is a tragic one - fitting, given some of the content of Brontë novels I think!

I also feel like this is a lot easier for me because I have a lot of very good friends where none of us use each other’s actual names lol My name on here (Kit) is from a friend like that. It’s got some ties to my real name but he mostly started calling me that because I had the bad habit of 1) not sleeping and 2) not taking off my eyeliner in high school, so I’d get shadows under my eyes and he said I looked like a baby raccoon - which is called a kit lol. He’s the one who got me into TLOU (and the one who’s reading Lavender ATM) so I was like “oh that’s the perfect name for this page” lol

Anyway, I hope that helps!!! I know it’s long but I could talk forever about writing stuff!!

Thank you for asking and for being here! Love you!

okay so i got another video essay idea BUT I SWEAR T H I S TIME i think ill manage to complete the script (yes thats what i say everyt ime fnsdjkafl) anyway

if youd like to hear more its under the cut (kirby related btw uwu)

warning its all very ramble-y

setting the bar low and keeping the tone more so to just discussing something i like so i dont get to ambitious with the analysis

so a while back i read this awesome poggers fanfic called "being a knight is easy (and so is pretending to be one) by @/azzie-tangerine

its REALLY GOOD

and ive already had plans for a potential series discussing completed novel length fanfics so it could be snazzy!!

most notably though sense its written work thatll help me to not go crazy ambitous with the anaylsis: i ussually just have SO many thoughts that its hard to write down, so im hoping that covering a written work instead of something with a visual element, will help my thoughts to be more manageable sense like, i dont have as many of those entire essays over itty bitty details stuck in my head sense i dont have as much of a grasp on the itty bitty details of the written word

like bassically, because im less savy with written work my brain wont go so absolutely primal artist instinct mode feral lmaofnsdjkalfhdsk

anyway, ill want to go over all the art and fanart the author has done and recieved and maaaaybe if i gain the confidence see if i could talk to/interview the author?? (i had the confidence to compliment them on anon but that was it nfdskja )

gsoh this post is so un structured

uuhhhh heres a link to the fic

Being a Knight is Easy! (So is Pretending to Be One) - Chapter 1 - Azzie_Tangerine - Kirby (Video Games) [Archive of Our Own]

if you read it: it would be super helpful to me if you could maybe lmk your thoughts and takeaways on it? or wanna talk about it with me more

its nice to have other peoples thoughts to bounce off of when writing a review/video essay/anaylsysis/random guy on the internet goes feral over kirby characters having emotions video

so anywayyy snfskjdfk ummm if anybody would have any video edting software recs that would be GREAT too~ (as well as its nice to know who would be willing to proof read my scripts)

okie so

currently i guess my "to do list" for starting up this idea is to reread the fic wile writing notes along the way: and joting down comments and quotes

during that ill also work on organzing my thoughts into topics/categories

i dont want to worry to much about structure, art, and the such until i have more work to show

anyhow! while im chaotically chatting i might as well kirby animation update too!!!

im having a hard time deciding where to start with the lines: at first i was gonna do a non anti-aliasing basic brush so itd be easy to color but i really wanted a bit more texture so im currently trying to get all the backgrounds lineart with that: in which ill than go along with the character animation and color whenever its most convenient too~

and sense i can heres another wip!

a bit of a pause on this piece: ima try to find some lineless scenery speedpaints to give me more of an idea of how to go about with this

THAT'S A GREAT OPENING SHOT I LOVE ME A SKELETON HAND!

omg a glimpse into coach ben's life pre-crash <3

the juxtaposition between the soup and the cannibalism happening outside the cabin... fun

"what kind of asshole puts cumin in clam chowder' comedy time <3

WAIT SO THEY DONT REALIZE WHAT THEY DID... THE FOREST PUT THEM IN A TRANCE/HAZE?

oh it's just tai? poor tai

"taissa! we ate her" i love this show <3

no wonder taissa is in the state she's in in present time like the others seem to recall the ritualistic cannibalism but she completely blocked it out she's dealing with it like she deals with everything else which is shutting down but then having it shoved in her face like that... she succumbed to the forest like the others but she's dragging her feet and kicking the whole way...

"tai... you ate her face" LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

i love how there is something seriously wrong w everyone in this show its so good <3

"at least if you bury her out there it will look like she died with the rest of them" FIRST OF all way to single yourself up for next on the buffet table coach! secondly though... 1) i am pretty sure they would be able to tell that she was eaten, whether by humans or animals i dont know but i think they can tell that even in the 90s and 2) i think given the extreme circumstances and the fact that jackie wasnt like, murdered, it's not something that would be like. held against them? like as a crime i mean. socially of course cannibalism is one of the most taboo of taboos but like. theyre starving in the woods after every possible attempt to escape gone wrong. their friend died of semi-natural causes (stubbornness and the forest's influence, one or the other or both?). so.

lottie helping her cult members w their stuff while suffocating her true self under layers of bullshit while nat hangs out outside scowling... love it

THE ANTLER'S ABOVE LOTTIE'S DOORSTEP... LET'S FUCKING GO I LOVE SOME GOOD IMAGERY

"emotions run high" says the cult member maintaining eye contact while cutting off a chicken's head, to natalie who survived 15 excruciating months trapped in the wilderness and embroiled in cultlike and fairytale-eque dynamics while contending with cannibalism. hilarious. i think it'd be funny if nat PRETENDED to stab her again for a laff

OH SIMONE :( my question is... how much more will taissa go on before the acknowledges it? opens up? peels back the layers and years and releases her control and gives into the fear and unknown and the dark calling her name? the man with no eyes who trails after her? her own ghost? and what will it cost her? and what will it do to her once she's done it? or will she never do it? so many questions <3

(i dont want these answers now btw im just enjoying the ride)

SHE SUBCONSCIOUSLY DREW THE SYMBOL ON HER WIFE'S HAND...

IS IT WEIRDO BESTIE TEAMUP TIME? LET'S GO LET'S GO LET'S GO

i want them to be partners in crime so bad like committed bestie crime team SO bad i NEED it

"you never know when you might need to leave the country sans passport" LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WALTER LET'S GO

i completely forgot about shauna and jeff i wont lie

"i think the stuff is for bisexuals and goths" BISEXUALS MENTION!

SHAUNA SAID YOURE NO FUN TO JEFF LET'S GOOOOOO

"i could've gone strawberry i almost did" this is so fdjksfjdkfshdahdsjf

we all get boring in adulthood i guess even girlies who partake in ritualistic cannibalism of their best friend/current husband's high school girlfriend while stranded in the remote wilderness. ah well.

SHAUNA TOOK A CAR THIEF OUT AND THEN JEFF INTERRUPTED HER BOOOOOOO JEFF BOOOOOOOOO

SHAUNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA IM SCREECHING

bees? beehives? "the first thing a new queen does is sting other queens to death" fun <3 eye see it <3

"otherwise they starve. we all do" LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"it's what she would have wanted. maybe not for the rest of us, but for you. for the baby" [HIGH PITCHED SCREECHING]

LOTTIE KNOWS ITS A BOY?

the girls all being excited for a baby shower <3 a shred of something to cling to <3 cant wait for the forest to fuck it up <3

"HIT HIM. HIT HIM RIGHT NOW" MISTYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY [snickering]

IM SAJFKJKFSDJFKJFKSF THEYRE SO FUCKING FUNNY <3

"i'd do anything to see [her nephew] again, you'know?" like cannibalism? :)

"that's not the first time ive eaten a person" HUH??????

THE TWIN THING? FJDKFJSFKJAKFJDKSJSDK

coach is mclosing it huh.

"they need me" "and i dont?" FHAFJKHKSDJKDASJDKASJKJ I LAUGHED IM SORRY

"but i do get to decide to be with someone who's ready to live this life with me. all of it" :( im. ok. im :( im. yeah.

this show is crazy because it's a comedy meanwhile it throws very serious situations and implications your way. funnily enough the cannibalism is not the most serious aspect of the show. to me at least. like thinking about how things were just 20-30 years ago etc etc :/ and what it means for both ben and paul :/ yeah i got it

nat telling jackie's eaten corpse that she's lucky <3 once again <3 comedy <3

"way to make everyone jealous one last time" NATALIEEEEEEEE

A MOOSE!

MY MOM TOLD ME ABOUT MOOSE! SHE SAID THAT MOOSE CAN AND WILL KILL PEOPLE ESPECIALLY MAMA MOOSE AND IF YOU END UP STARING DOWN A MOOSE BACK AWAY SLOWLY AND PICK ANOTHER PATH! IF A MOOSE STOPS YOU IN TRAFFIC YOU WAIT FOR THE MOOSE - moose trivia provided by my mother who says alaskan moose are the BIGGEST and DANGEROUS moose <3

WALTER AND MISTY THE DREAM TEAAAAAAAAAAM

TAISAAAAAAAAAAA ITS HAPPENING LETS FUCKING GO

"only when she lets me" "who is she?" "taissa" "then who are you?" [silence]

IM SCREECHING I THINK THAt they could have held that a few seconds long for effect bec thats SOOOOOOOOO crreepy and cool like its either taissa's subconscious/the suprressed taissa OR it's something trying to get her to open her eyes and herself I LOVE IT ITS SO FUCKING COOL

kevin in the backwards hat tho. sorry. but he. sorry. OSRRY.

il veut de sang = he wants blood btw

IT WAS A VISION? NICE!

fun episode all around<3

[russeliarat]

I would love a sequel to one of the four sword games that, along with the main plot, Link has an entire conflict with the whole splitting thing.

Perhaps they make it canon that he doesn’t feel whole, that he feels like four stuck in one body, how they may argue and then split as a result, or how they feel conflicted returning the four sword as being stuck together brings so much pain.

I want to see these four feel pain and talk things out and hug and cry dammit, give us emotional Link Nintendo!

Btw, fun fact: in the Japanese version of botw all of Link’s journal entries for quests are spoken in first person and have some of his opinions. For example, the first quest he gets from Zelda (going to the first map tower I believe) he writes in the quest that the “pretty voice” told him to go there.

And the translation teams or some higher ups REMOVED THE FIRST PERSON FROM SOME TRANSLATIONS.

I know they took the first person entries out of the English release, but I hear they apparently did so for the Chinese one as well, and maybe more. They are so determined not to give us Links with personality.

Omg literally THIS. If Nintendo really will make an animated series, I feel like an extended animated version of the Four Sword manga would literally be perfect. It's a trusted, beloved story with strong themes and characters and dynamics and has some really beautiful character development that made me cry the first time I read it (I don't cry easily). Compared to the actual Four Sword Adventures game it was based on, it's a perfect adaptation in its own right!

If I had any ideas on the format of an animated series, it would likely be extended during the adventure so it shows them helping all of the maidens, and maybe have a separate show or season dedicated to what comes after their merging (I'm planning this as if it were an actual show lmao how sad).

The whole ongoing joke about Green being the 'original Link' would be really interesting to explore as well! The whole idea of the others’ humanity and their own existence and the terror of just ceasing to exist once they finally merge would be a great plot point. Though, I think since Vio is away from the group with Shadow, he would have differing opinions to the others who will eventually want to merge, while Vio likely wouldn’t because he's been influenced by Shadow. Imagine a big scene where they use the joke cope but it all blows up in their faces one day because Blue became really nervous about it and, at that point, he has no idea how to deal with it other than to get angry/upset. They're forced to grapple with their lives and the possibility of death from a kid’s perspective. Red's likely terrified but his optimism would likely help the other two get through until they can finally accept the idea of nothing on their own terms.

And then you got the idea of whether Shadow would really die or if he's merely stuck within the merge Link's shadow. If so, then would he ever be able to reform? How so? How would he react to a merged Link? How would his relationships change and morph after him switching sides and rejecting his ‘evil’ roots, after his pretending to be Vio, after he literally died for the Links?

Because I’ve been wondering about this for a while, I found out that up to the end of the Yellow Maiden’s rescue, the manga is somewhat accurate to the game though highly simplified due to it’s limitations. It makes me wonder if Himekawa were allowed to create more chapters/volumes of the manga, would they continue up until the Purple Maiden’s rescue before continuing onto what I like the call the manga’s ‘second act’ with Shadow and Vio as the focus? Or do you reckon they would intersperse them together as the story continues? Honestly, if I can come up with ideas, do you reckon I should explain ideas for the rest of an extended story? There would be so much symbolism (the back of the legendary edition has a picture of Zelda with white lilies and me loving flower symbolism means I know it means rebirth and purity. Take that as you will.).

(Fun fact, I thought the White Maiden was a light blue/turquoise for months until I looked at Zelda Dungeon’s FSA walkthrough...)

I found out about BotW Link’s first to third person log entries a while ago and have been trying to find direct translations for the first person entries for so damn long. I was absolutely fuming because it was one of the rare chances English/Chinese audiences would have gotten to see Link’s direct thoughts! Personally, I think it’s been changed by the translation team for the same reason that Link doesn’t talk - because people have different interpretations of Link and the Sheikah Slate logs would have been the most direct way of establishing a specific personality beyond dialogue choices. They likely wanted to play it safe.

Wanted this batch of Pokemon Sky Trekkers headcanons for these particular characters all in one post since we only know them from one episode of their home series, so the a lot of this is just my interpretation, with some Pokemon worldbuilding borrowed from the fanfic "Eevee Therapy for Little Magi" (highly recommend it btw) Cool? Cool. Here's the headcanons for:

The Four Musicians

Prior to their Fall, things were going decently well for these ladies after they made their home in the bar in Bremen, occasional bandit attack notwithstanding.

But after a natural disaster struck (thinking of giant dust storm), they got pulled in by a Wormhole after helping evacuate everyone else.

They landed in the Almia region, with a Riolu, Mudbray, Skitty and Torchic suddenly with them and following them around (those Pokemon are Mystery Gifts, in universe are Pokemon made by the gods themselves for certain Fallers, it's practically ringing endorsement if a Faller has one)

After gaining information about the world, with some help from the Rangers, of them started wandering Poke-Japan for a little while (Donkey: "On the road again... This is actually nostalgic.😌 " Cat: "Nostalgic for you, Little Donkey😮‍💨"), they even ran into Oscar the eebydeebied Seviper at some point, more on him another day.

They were some of the first to be hired by the Sky Trekkers founding members (Hanji, Dogday, Sela and Aoi), while Hanji wasn't expecting such a large group, Dog said they were a package deal. Not that they would be turned away regardless, they're skills were too good to ignore.

One time, Aoi brought up their names and story made him think of the actual "Town Musicians of Bremen" fairytale. After discussing the parallels and a few raised eyebrows, it got a chuckle out of the ladies. The only ones among them with any musical talents were Cat (who has great singing voice) and Rooster (who did play a bit violin prior to the Wade Brothers abducting her, now she's a bit rusty).

After that, whenever anyone was talking about all four of them together, they're called "The Musicians" and it kinda stuck.

Out of curiosity, Hanji asked why they have animal names. Apparently, it's sort of a custom in the Musicians' home world for any name change to be animal themed. When Dog was still a sheriff, she had the nickname "Mad Dog", after a bit, it was shortened to just Dog, and it became more used than her real name. Donkey was lower classed, lived in the forge practically her whole life, and knew nothing else prior to meeting Dog, she had no prior name she was always just "Donkey", because the forge owners always saw her as a pack mule. Cat used a shortened version of her actual name when she went into the escort business, even styling her hair like cat ears to complete the look. Rooster's name was actually given to her by Dog. For a long time, she was just "Lookout" to the Wade Brothers, and she long forsake her old name after her old family refused to pay her ransom.

Once or twice, Rooster accidently called Dog "Mom." Dog pretended she didn't hear it at one point because Rooster looked nervous, but once when the kid was out of earshot, she teared up a little. (Cat: "Dog... Are you okay?" Dog: "I'M FINE!🥲")

Piggybacking of the precious point, when strangers have called the older Musicians "Rooster's mothers." Rooster makes no real move to correct them. Of course, she's closest to Dog, but Cat and Donkey are getting there more and more.

Cat and Donkey started to date after the Wade Brothers incident and sometime after that but before their Fall, Dog joined in and they became a throuple. Just like in battle, the three of them have an incredibly healthy relationship.

Dog and Donkey usually share kitchen duty, but Donkey also helps Sela in maintaining the ship and Dog is the crew's third in command, behind Hanji and Dogday (Sela and Aoi self admitted they are not really leadership material)

Hanji makes constant jokes about both her co-captains being her "guard dogs" to varying degrees of amusement.
