Mod Organizer 2 and some handy plugins for it

I'm sure you guys know about the existence of MO2, but I still want to talk about my favorite features from it and the extra plugins for it that I love. It's not the most exciting mod topic, but the QoL improvements make up for that, imo.

If you're interested in trying it out, gamerpoets has a great setup tutorial, and even more tutorials on how to set up SKSE, CK, SSE Edit and more with it.

So, MO2 has a really nifty feature of showing you when loose files have a conflict (or are completely overwritten) with a little lightning bolt symbol next to the mod name.

Symbols left to right: Winning Conflict; Losing Conflict; Completely Overwritten

If you click the lightning bolt, a window showing two list ('Winning file conflicts' and 'Losing file conflicts') will pop up, showing the name of the mod it's conflicting with, and the conflicting file names.

From this list, you can right-click a file to go back to its source mod, or you can also choose to 'hide' the file from the mod you clicked on. This function adds a '.mohidden' after the file type, basically making the file invisible without deleting it, in case you change your mind later.

If the file is a texture, you can click on the file name and view the textures that are conflicting.

The other files you can't natively view, so this is where some plugins come in:

MO2 also has a nifty Profile system that lets you have multiple separate mod lists you can swap between (which is insanely helpful for figuring out mod issues, btw.)

To use these next two mods, you need to click the puzzle piece icon and click their names to run them.

Personally, I like keeping my orders synced for the most part and just activating what mods I need, so I recommend this plugin:

(Kezyma has made even more MO2 plugins you might find helpful)

So, MO2 two mod orders: the left side which is the mod files themselves and the right side, your plugins. It is pretty easy for the mod files and plugins to get out of order (which usually isn't a big deal, but it annoys me), so I suggest using this one:

For those who want even more organization, you can create separators, which you can expand and collapse and drag mods in and out of, to make scrolling your LO easier.

There are several mods for pre-made separators, I based my own separators loosely on this one:

If you have the Anniversary Edition, your CC plugins will not be automatically manageable with MO2. This plugin will help you with that, so if you want you can deactivate unused creations:

(you will need to run the tool, you can find it under the puzzle piece icon)

Another thing you may not know about the UI is that you can change the theme to something kinder on the eyes. You can find the options under:

Tools [wrench and screwdriver icon, next to puzzle pieces] -> Themes

There are already quite a few to pick from (ranging from simple colors, to paper, to a Skyrim themed UI, with even more choices on the Nexus.

Right: Default (with custom separators), Left: Skyrim

For modders who have issue compiling scripts in CK with MO2: this app has been a lifesaver for me:

And finally, while just a aesthetics thing, I like this splash screen replacer (there are others on the Nexus, but I'm a fan of the Sovngarde font:)

They're singing, "Happy Birthday" You just wanna lay down and cry

For all intents and purposes as Phoebe awoke that morning, it was just another Monday. Well, she had once again fallen victim to the peace and serenity sleep brought her, still hoping the last month had been some horrific nightmare, where she’d roll over and find Foster there and everything would be fine. But, aside from that, just another day.

She watched the sun flit through the cheap, thin curtains as she laid in bed until Misty’s mewling was impossible to ignore. She fed the cat, made herself some coffee, and watched as the first notifications of the day popped up.

One thing was certain in life. Jeanie Ramachandran was always going to be the first one to post a birthday story for Phoebe, no matter how many times the birthday girl in question had complained. There was a few years where the bartender hadn’t take into account the time difference of where she was traveling to Illinois, which left a lot of people confused on when Phoebe’s date of birth was exactly, and she couldn’t help but admit that the best birthday gifts were that of confused texts from friends and acquaintances apologizing for being a day too late or too early.

Still, she got the notification that Jeanie had added her to her Instagram story, but didn’t click on it, watching her phone curiously to see if two specific people would contact her today. Her mom was unpredictable in every sense of the word, and Foster…

She told him she’d reach out first. What was she supposed to do; text him ��hey I’m ready to talk now. BTW its my birthday’? Phoebe would rather gouge her eyes out with a spoon. 

Still, she opened up her text history with Lisa, the last few on Phoebe’s end going undelivered which meant her mom likely disconnected her number and was starting afresh somewhere new. It wasn’t like she’d forget Phoebe’s birthday: the worst day of Lisa Yates’ life. But whether she’d break no-contact with her daughter was anyone’s guess.

12 years ago. Phoebe’s 18th birthday.

“It’s upsetting me you’re not doing a party, Bee. You’re eighteen.” Lisa whined from her usual place on the couch. Douglas had just broken up with her, now his ex-wife was single again. True love never meant to be broken apart, Phoebe assumed. And Lisa just liked an excuse to wear her bathrobe at all hours of the day.

“Who’d come to my party, Mom? You, Linc, Seb, Jeanie —,” She paused, staring at her mother incredulously. “Not exactly a big birthday blowout.”

Lisa scoffed. “Oh, please. You have more friends than that. C’mon, I can get the invitations sent out today.”

“It’s Sunday, Mom. The post office isn’t exactly open.” She had finished packing her bag for the day, the dusty blue polo shirt of her Gulp ‘n’ Go uniform being her designated birthday outfit to ring in eighteen years. “Now I’m going to work, but I’ll be back later.” And she kissed Lisa on the forehead, prepared to have a normal day.

Upon returning home, the darkness setting over the small Weaver Ridge apartment with the exception of the neon lights of Gulp ‘n’Go guiding Phoebe jimmying the lock slightly before throwing her body weight into the door to get it open. She stumbled into the darkened living room, clutching the small store bought cake that she was sure was stale, but it was the only one the gas station had. Lisa was still sitting on the couch, just where Phoebe had left her, an empty bottle of red wine on the coffee table, a fresh one just being opened. 

“Hey.” Phoebe murmured, keeping her distance, trying to gauge which drunk Lisa she was getting. It most likely wasn’t the happy-go lucky party girl most people associated with her, which meant…

“Here’s to the anniversary of when I almost died!” Lisa slurred, holding up her wine glass, red wine splashing carelessly from the rim.

“Mom..” It was a story she heard every year. Sometimes it was painted in a more forgiving light, and others like now, it was like Phoebe deliberately made her entrance to the world a difficult and painful one.

“Just sixteen, barely lived. And you, fucking hell. You had the cord wrapped around your neck, and a really weak heartbeat, and never mind I was gushing out blood like I had an unlimited supply of it.” She sneered at Phoebe, who just stood there numbly. “And I remember begging God to let me live, let us both live. And I’d provide you with a great life.” Lisa managed to stand, stumbling over to her daughter. Phoebe tried hard to blink back the tears. 

“The worst day of my life, and you’re too selfish to even honor that with a fucking party.” The smell of wine on her hot breath made Phoebe’s stomach churn. “Happy birthday, Bee.” And with a shoulder check, stormed off to her bedroom.

Phoebe stood there numbly, taking a few deep breaths, before dumping the cake in the trash and just heading to bed, preparing for tomorrow to be a truly normal day.

Blinking out of her thoughts, Phoebe closed the text history with Lisa, deciding it was probably better to not hear from her mother, and after confirming to Jeanie she was definitely going to meet her later and not bail, showered and got dressed. The only good thing about Mondays was that it was Phoebe’s day off from the paper, and with her internship ending soon, she had no qualms about going in the remainder of the week either. She had a connection, had emailed her manuscript over to a potential agent who’d possibly take her on as a client. It was just the matter of finding something else to do with her day. 

If her and Foster survived it, would he have done something? She had no doubt he’d have respected her wishes to keep things lowkey, but she couldn’t help but mourn the potential loss of the birthday of a woman in a happy relationship, rather than the single thirty year old who barely felt like she was out of her teens. At least, a small voice told her, it was better than any birthday she was forced to spend with Spencer…

7 years ago. Phoebe’s 23rd birthday.

They hadn’t been dating that long. Only meeting a few months ago when he came by chance to O’Shea’s, and Phoebe served him the wrong drink by accident. After that, Spencer came by every Friday night to ask her out. He was charming, good looking, but she had been hesitant. However, one night she agreed, and the rest was history.

The thing was, Spencer was maybe too nice. He never let Phoebe have a bad word to say about herself, any self-deprecating jokes regarding her writing or playing immediately shut down. “Y’know you shouldn’t say those things about yourself,” He had pointed out one day, “I don’t like it. You wouldn’t like it if I said those things about me, would you?” And she had to admit she wouldn’t. But maybe after two decades of her mom’s backhanded compliments and ability to fly off the handle at any given moment, Phoebe was finally waiting for Spencer, and should have just quelled her anxiety that the other shoe looming over her threateningly was going to drop.

Then she turned twenty-three. And the shoe dropped hard. 

It had been her usual routine. She’d wake up, there’d be a post from Jeanie and other texts from her friends. Her mom would douse her in attention and bitch and moan that Phoebe wasn’t throwing a party, and that she wanted to shout from the rooftops that her baby girl was born twenty-three years today! But Phoebe wanted a normal day. She had the rare weekend off from O’Shea’s, and wanted to spend time with Spencer who, by her own design, had no idea what the date meant.

But all day he was off with her, like he couldn’t have thought of anything worse than spending time with his…well, they hadn’t exactly put a label on it yet, but Phoebe assumed with the way things were going it wouldn’t be long until they were boyfriend and girlfriend. It wasn’t until they came back to his apartment, a large chrome inspired place in the nice part of Cardinal Hill, when he took out his phone showing a screenshot of Jeanie’s birthday wishes to Phoebe, and slid it over to her.

“Do you know how embarrassing it was for me to find out this way?” He asked, and Phoebe immediately felt guilt wash over her.

“Oh, I’m sorry. I just…my birthday isn’t a big deal to me, and uh, we’ve only been seeing each other for a few months so..” She tried to explain, and Spencer had the audacity to scoff in her face.

“No, I get it Phoebe. You don’t think I’m important enough. God, to think what amazing plans you must have canceled out on to slum it with me.” He shook his head. “I bet your friends will think I’m such an asshole for not getting you a gift. For not even saying it to you!” 

“They won’t think that, they know I’m…look, it’s just a day.” She tried to reason, heart palpitating at the idea of upsetting him further. “I…I can make it up to you. We can go for dinner, or…do something tomorrow, maybe?” 

He looked at her with utter contempt, shaking his head. “I think I should just drop you off home.” And that’s what he did, the car ride silent, Phoebe feeling like a monster for not disclosing her birthday to him. Her mom had set up more balloons since that morning, and even got Phoebe a cake from Walmart, and she held back tears the entire night.

When she woke up the next morning, she had a text from Spencer inviting her over. She tentatively did, scared things would end before they even really began, being met instead with a large balloon arch, the biggest cake she ever seen, and a small pile of gifts. 

“I’m sorry about yesterday, I was just upset you felt like you had to keep it from me. I was worried you thought I was someone who’d feel…inconvenienced or something.” He said, pulling her in for a kiss. “I’m never not going to make you feel like your birthday isn’t a big deal ever again…”

If only she knew what the next four years of birthdays would bring.

Her morning flew by quickly, though she was tense to leave on the off-chance Foster dropped by. But she left it for as long as she did to go for her pre-made plans she couldn’t exactly cancel, returning home with a couple of hours to spare in getting ready for whatever Jeanie had planned for her. 

Whatever it was, she could handle it. She was still a living, breathing person after what Elijah had gifted to her, and she knew the excitement would sink in after the shock and the exhaustion of her birthday was past her. 

Still, she came home, sorting through her closet to find something suitable, eyes falling on the gift box. Nine whole months it had been shoved in there, the vaguely festive wrapping paper collecting dust. Phoebe had strategically hidden it behind Foster’s stuff when he had first moved in, but without his pants and coats hung up, it was there hiding in plain sight, staring at her in the face.

She pulled it out and placed it on the bed, tearing it open and lifting the box flaps, letting out a soft gasp at what was inside.

2004. Phoebe’s 10th birthday.

“Mommy, mommy! Look!” When her mom had asked Phoebe what she wanted to do today, letting her skip school to celebrate her birthday, all the little girl wanted to was spend time with her mom. Lisa opted to take them to Chicago for the day, letting Phoebe into boutiques, music stores, and even had plans to visit one of the museums after lunch.

They were currently in a small second-hand bookstore, and Phoebe stared hungrily at what was on offer on the small, rickety shelves. The kindly old man was patient with all of her questions, and she had stumbled upon the best thing she had even seen.

A three-piece collection of Alice in Wonderland, The Wizard of Oz, and Peter Pan.

“Oh, they’re a bit young for you, aren’t you?” Lisa questioned with a patient smile, as Phoebe held up the books. “Like, baby, you have an advanced reading level — your teacher even said — you don’t wanna waste time with children’s books.”

“But mom, look at them. They’re like really special.” Phoebe defended, her big brown eyes watering. Lisa, to her credit, did take the box holding the books in her hands, studying each angle, eyes landing on the price tag.

“I’m sorry, Bee. I would, but they’re just…so expensive. For books! C’mon, I can get you a pretty new birthday dress next door for the same price.” They thanked the man for his time, and Phoebe hesitantly put the set down, and no matter how many times she returned to that store over the years  — to any second hand store in the greater Illinois area — Phoebe was convinced she had lost those books forever.

There, staring at her in the box, was the exact same collection set she had stumbled upon twenty years ago. All three stories of a little girl going to a magical land, all three stories about her somehow, some way finding her way home again.

There was no note, no clever sentence tying Oz, Wonderland or Neverland into Blue Harbor or what Phoebe sacrificed in her last thirty years. She didn’t know if it was an apology, or somehow Lisa proving that no matter what, she did care and listen to what her daughter wanted. All Phoebe could do was leave the books on her bed as she got ready.

She didn’t cry, not even when she accidentally jabbed her mascara brush in her eye. Just plastered on her best ‘I can’t believe you’ve done this but thank you anyway’ smile, and decided, that maybe once, celebrating her birthday didn’t have to be such a fucking hardship.

Okey, late to the party, but here we are. Please excuse my long ramblings.

When they first announced that they're bringing David Tennant back for the 60th anniversary specials in 2022, I almost fainted. This was a dream come true for a girl that has been obsessed with Doctor Who since the Nuwho run started. And as much as I love all the other actors who have played the Doctor and their takes on the roll, David was and will always be the one Doctor for me.

So when they announced the airing of the specials, I decided to only watch them, once I have watched through all of other episodes.

First of all, I really love Doctor Who and am always glad to have an excuse to start from the beginning. And i hadn't done that in a few years, so what better time than now?

Second of all, at some point during the later Capaldi run I sorta got a bit burned out of the show. At that time, it just didn't click with me and the 12th Doctor (by now I have gladly overcome that block) and I stopped.

So obivously I had quite a bit to catch up with. And since I have a job now and can't just continuously watch 12h of DW a day, it took me a while to finish everything.

Yesterday evening, I arrived at that point. I watched the last episode of the 13th Doctor. I saw the regeneration. I saw David Tennant being back as the Doctor. I had finally arrived at this point. I could see the specials! And I felt a feeling of dread coming up inside me. There were only 3 episodes with him. Only 3. I had to cherish them. You can only watch something for the first time once. Then it's over. And then I cried. And then I stopped. And then I went to bed.

And I woke up today and sat down on my couch with a cup of coffee and put on The Star Beast.

And, Oh. My. God. I love it.

And then the Intro started playing and I heard the music that's reminiscing the old themes from the 10th Doctor and the beautiful animation. I started crying again. It was perfection.

And then the story started and it was just so nostalgic and melancholic and so filled with love in the writing and the acting and the overall design of everything. Sure, there were some points in the episode where I went "yeah, this could've come out better", but overall, I could've not wished for anything else.

So here I am now, sitting on my couch, grinning like an idiot. And feeling so happy. I'm still crying, btw. But not tears of sadness, tears of joy. I love it. I just love it. And I want to continue watching the other specials. But I will wait, and process this. Make it last as long as possible. Because you can only watch something for the first time once. So I will make it count.

ooh Pleaaaase share more of the gods fic stuff if u can! I love that Jake design sm

okay the story IS called all of the gods and i but it's literally an 'anniversary of gods arrival on earth c fic'. i've literally had the concept of it planned since like. when the original [s] credits dropped.

jake's outfit is based off of a 13k usd dress i found while scrolling on pinterest making a board for them. i also have an old pinboard for dirk too while i was coming up with ideas but i ended up doing like, a little mishmash of various fancytiers i found

no pinboard for janey but she does have an outfit and man i have no idea what past me means by that second note for her. since she has a confirmed fit she would be featured pretty heavily in the story as i wanted to focus on jake and how his avoidance has affected his relationships with his friends (btw at this point im still being attacked by ripley she's now wrapped up in a blanket. ripley is my cat. she is evil.) what's funny is that this sketch dump like, oyu can see it evolve from being like. fun doodles like. here's my take on an outfit tomatograter drew jake in like forever ago and also june??? i think this was originally supposed to be a test idea for like, a bathing suit top swap for june and jake

Marcus Flint's tattoos

Okay so, I mentioned a few times that in my headcanons Marcus didn't end up playing professional quidditch. Instead he got a job at a tattoo studio in Knockturn Alley, and later on Cassius Warrington bought that studio. They've completely redesigned it and successfully run the business since then

And well, most tattoo artists have many tattoos themselves so here I am, with headcanon about Marcus' tattoos

(in order of getting them btw)

1) a little stick and poke tattoo of a ghost above his wrist ('93)

He had it done during the summer of '93, after he had gotten disowned. It was one of the first tattoos Cassius ever did (16yo in his bedroom, mind you) and it's not the best, Marcus already had it redone as ink got lighter in some parts. The ghost is a symbol of Marcus Flint dying, as part of him did die with his decision to leave. It's a new beginning. Ghost is smiling, much more than Marcus was back then, it's happy to just be a ghost of the past, not a suicidal teenager anymore

2) of course he has a quidditch-related tattoo ('94)

It's a quaffle with a magpie print on it as Montrose Magpies is his favourite team since he was a little kid. Marcus has it on his ribs (broken so many times because of quidditch). He had it done professionally by his boss right after his employment. He chose art career path but quidditch was still important to him, always will be, and he wanted to combine his two passions.

3) fig flowers below his collarbone ('94)

It's a Terence Higgs tribute. Marcus really wanted something relating to Terence. Terry is his closest friend and literally saved his life many times and he wouldn't be there without him. But he wanted it to be pretty and not so obvious because it's cringe. He just thought that Higgs sounds similar to "figgs" hence fig flowers. Marcus chose flowers because they're prettier but after that Adrian made up a meaning behind it. That tattoo was related to their friendship, ongoing since they were kids and they stuck together for so many difficult years, surprisingly turning out great and mature and rather healthy. They were troubled teenagers but end up as healthy adults. They BLOSSOMED, you know

4) a teardrop made of flint on his throat ('96)

Another one about his development as a person, of him redefining himself. He's still a Flint but created anew, hewn by himself and his experiences. The shape is supposed to simulate smooth spear blade as first of all, his name comes from Mars, the god of war, and second, when he was younger his default emotion was anger. He thought crying was a sign of weakness (toxic masculinity at its worst) so he turned to anger and hatred and violence. And while adult Marcus isn't the most open and it's hard for him to talk about emotions, he's doing much better.

He created the design and symbolism behind this tattoo while heavily drunk, didn't remember it when he woke up, luckily he drew it and made notes he found the next day and thought it's weird but he's weird so it's perfect

5) a red line dragon on his shoulder blade ('97)

Matching tattoo with Cassius Warrington. In their tattoo studio there's that exact dragon on the wall. Marcus made a project of it and Cass created that mural with red spray paint. They got it tattooed by each other on the first anniversary of rebranding the studio and opening it. Marcus has it on his shoulder blade and Cass on his ribs

6) a very sappy matching with Oliver after their engagement ('98)

Oncoming war made them realised how uncertain tomorrow is. They got engaged and wanted something more lasting, they were sure of each other after their complicated relationship during their teenage years but 4 happy years together. And it had to be related to quidditch as it was important not only to the both of them separately but also them as a couple and their relationship. Marcus has a goalpost with "my goal" under it and Oliver has a quaffle with the same text, both over their hearts.

Marcus' goal in quidditch as a chaser is to score at goalposts. Oliver's goal as a keeper is to catch the quaffle. It obviously symbolises each other position in quidditch, they are each other final goal (relationship goal if you will), they wouldn't make sense without each other

7) tangled snake on his forearm ('98)

It's a reinterpretation of Slytherin and the dark mark. After the war, everyone became wary of snakes and Slytherins, and while Marcus understood that, he hated it. Being a slytherin didn't mean being a bad person and he knew how stereotypes like that could affect kids sorted to Slytherin. It was making monsters. If you did nothing wrong but everyone thought you're bad, why would you even try, you slowly become sure they have a reason. So yeah, it was his way of reowning it and showing he's proud of being a slytherin (and not a deatheater)

Bonus about Cassie Warrington

Cassius Warrington is tatted all over his body, most of it is meaningless. Some are pretty, some are just reminiscent of training on himself, hell some are dares and jokes. He looks like the last page in a notebook of a bored kid and he loves it

But one more meaningful one and done professionally (other than that matching dragon with Flint):

Cassie has ouroboros tattooed on his neck, going around it and eating itself at the back (he started to cut his hair shorter so it would be visible). Ouroboros meaning is life cycle and it's kind of Cassius' way of saying yolo, in a way that yeah, he has only one life but in world scale it's meaningless, cycle will continue with or without him, so it should be meaningful to him by doing things he loves and wants. Also, it's specifically the pueblan milk snake because Cassie totally has a pet snake and pueblan milk snake was his first one (it's great for beginners and really flashy, I like it)

Life update, I love uni, it's so cool, 2nd year psychology student here, also I'm in science club and I have an awesome opportunity to do workshops with teens at locat city library and it's so cool and fulfilling

Here’s my note before I’ll get started….

”Day 30: Leader 🐶⬛️🗡️”

One more day for 🎃Halloween this year; where I can finally conclude Sallie and Awoofy’s chase from the rolling pumpkin’s wrath! Joking aside because it’s just a giant pumpkin without feeling out of revenge. Unless if you counted being possessed from the naughty red panda’s magic spell gone wrong. 😅 Just a theory to imagine yourself.

In the meantime of saving the final Inktober artwork, here’s my “Day 30th” entry that you might never expected. I had personal thoughts as a “What If” scenario for the Netflix animated worlds, but in a mashup style of “Come and Learn with Pibby”.

Just to be clear, it had nothing to do if Netflix’s planning to greenlit the “Pibby” show instead. We’re feeling bummed after Dodge Greenley’s recent update that the potential show never pick up for Adult Swim. That doesn’t mean it will moving on to Netflix too soon. (Or any other streaming services if it’s possible. Just a thought.) 

Either way, I’m not giving up as I’m saving some fanarts to plan. Who knows if Adult Swim at least can acknowledge once again?

As for this Inktober artwork share, it was Chip the Pug who’s taking a role as a resistance leader. As I said before, this is a “What If” scenario by having the darkness taking over Netflix animated worlds from “Inside Job” to “Centaurworld”; including this poor female pug’s world. She lost her mouse friend named “Potato” and some to her family and friends that gotten corrupted by the darkness. (This example.⬇️)

Now she’s on her journey through different and dangerous worlds wether to save or fight off any animated characters and joining forces. Things can be intense that Chip can take; especially losing her eye due to ongoing struggles. 🫢😔

As much It was a shock; let alone a harmless pug without hurting anyone. That said, it was something to face reality as she’s growing up. Can she willingly to face bigger threats than she can encounter? Can she still have time to save her mouse friend and others? Or suffer the way that it started in the first place? That is something you can imagine yourself; for better or for worse.

(BTW, the exact date where the short video uploaded through Adult Swim’s YT Channel since 2021. Today’s mark the 2nd anniversary for the potential show that sadly wasn’t picked up. If only someday. 🙏)

Chip the Pug (as the resistance leader) - “Chip and Potato” (2018-present); WildBrain Studios, Darrall Macqueen, Family Jr., Netflix

I don't know anything about vtmb (planning to play it but just have a really long list of games i'm planning to play) so how about some facts about the game you think are cool? What as a game did it do to really grab you? Is there anything specific to vtmb that you put into your OCs (and OC AUs) that really fits their character and you want to talk about?

HMMM OH THIS IS A VERY FUN QUESTION... LET ME SEE IF I CAN ANSWER... Btw if you do plan on playing it make sure to get the Wesp5 Plus Patch!!! it fixes a lot of bugs and restored cut content!!

This will be. VERY LONG. I'm sorry

Let me see if I can go in order...

Facts about the game I think are cool:

I dont really know a lot about the history of the game development but I want to research it, however I genuinely love just how purely alternative it is, in a style sense. The game is in-your-face about its gothic and alt infuences coherent with the early 2000s, and it never feels like it's just doing it for the sake of being commercial, because the music choices and the decisions taken with the designs of some characters just feel like home to me idk. Like obviously I never expected it to be "trad goth" because its a game set in 2004; published in 2004. But I was pleasantly surprised to see how it wears its gothic and punk inspirations on its sleeve. But that makes sense, as Vampire: The Masquerade (the ttrpg) itself explicitly dedicates a section of the 20th edition core rulebook to this very topic (the game is based on the 20th anniversary edition).

There's so many ways the game could go during and in the ending. While obviously "good" behavior is rewarded and grants you more XP, sometimes it makes tyou wonder if it's even worth taking a different path instead to see how it goes. Obviously more XP generally is better because you can spend more points to adjust your stats, but sometimes even the good options are like, kind of morally questionable since this IS a world about vampires who still see humans/kine as lambs for the slaughter. Literally almost all the options that help keep the Masquerade cause you a humanity loss, which I think makes sense. I find that interesting.

The game itself might have one of the most satisfying endings I've ever seen in a videogame. Not that it is perfect, and it shows the final sections are very rushed when you think about it (thanks, Activision) but even with the little time they had at their disposal Troika managed to put together an ending that doesn't overstay its welcome imo, it's just about right. Obviously it'd be nice to have an epilogue section or what have you, but does the story need one? I would probably say not, because it's fun to come up with things yourself. After all, the game is still based on a ttrpg which at the table you can tweak and change however you like.

I'm not an expert on the game history so these are my unfiltered unprofessional opinion as i am a newbie both to this game specifically and VtM/WOD in general when it comes to the ttrpg, though i'd probably say it was a long time coming. There's probably a lot more that's interesting that people have explored better in other videos or posts

As for the rest of the questions...

The game grabbed me instantly because it is like, literally the perfect mix of things I like in a videogame/poiece of media in general. A contemporary setting + urban supernatural events/facets of the world + characters that can easily pass as people that really exist + stellar voice acting (except for some parts) + some horror here and there + obviously VAMPIRES... I vaguely knew what the game was about before playing it, but not to this extent, so when I started it up I was instantly hooked. If you know my ocs you'll know a lot of my own stuff more or less follows a similar line so it's no wonder I would love it. Personally on a aesthetic sense the graphics of the game are of its time but also just wonderful to the eyes. Not perfect, but it's the ideal combo of cartoony models/figures + realistic textures. Also, for how small the hub worlds are, they just feel really lively I think. Their tiny size also helps make the story feel more compact and less stretched out to a stupid extent.

As for my OCs... well there's a lot of potential for that specific setting I think, if you put your ocs in an au or make ocs for it. There's a little bit of backstory you can come up with for your fledgling and again the small size of the hub worlds makes it easier for you to see how to integrate an oc you already had in an AU for it imo. But this is also bc im insane and i always find ways to do it. HGHNFKFGNFN.

I would have to make a separate post/receive a more specific question regarding the ocs thing because I am already so long winded rn, I also wouldn't know where to begin. But every single thing I've decided for my vtm(b) AU so far involving my ocs like salice, allen, phoebe, etc. is like, really funny how perfect they were for the AU before I even had to think about tweaking anything on their character

[todayisafridaynight]

Firstly, thanks so much for your patience with my ramblings haha, it's always an absolute pleasure to read your responses even if I get more unhinged with each one of mine! Of course, I'll continue to do my best with the wiki! (Actually, I think it's because of you that I noticed Daigo's age(s) were a year off haha, so thank you for that as well.)

I think you hit the nail on the head, and I adore how his relationships were executed in Y7 as well! I was initially a little bit apprehensive when trailers for 7 were coming out since RGGJo (and Mine, of course) were my favorite antagonists, and Jo is by far the character who's changed the most between games, but I can safely say both… Joes… are right up there for me.

I think a strong early subversion/conversion/something is that RGGJo really does just go and shoot up a rival office for attacking Arakawa (even though Arakawa was fine?). With Y7Jo, even though he's covering for Masato, the fact that's still the story Ichi gets told and he doesn't question it sort of speaks to Y7Jo having a similarly "protective" streak even if it's not actually what happened in that instance. That's also demonstrated in The Eye Scene as you mention later.

Like, I think that story is fairly clearly something he and Arakawa discussed. Masato got in contact with Jo first, and the mess Ichi tries to clear up when he comes in the morning after is indicative of a very long, stressful conversation between two people. Given Masato absolutely should not be smoking, process of elimination would suggest it's Jo. And it's a story they would've aimed to make as believable as possible, so the fact it is believable (Ichi being a bit gullible notwithstanding) says something to me.

For two characters who hardly even speak to each other onscreen (criminal btw), there's a lot to dig into when it comes to Arakawa and Sawashiro's relationship. That aside, I'm super excited to see you analyse Jo's psyche, and I can't wait to read it! I've been reading Japanese psychology texts myself and noticing a number of concepts that apply to Mine, but may apply to the Arakawas as well. There's a great deal I want to share once I get my thoughts in order.

I totally agree Mine's influence on RGGJo was the strongest of the three! I mean, y'know, that's why I acquired brainworms for RGGJo/Mine specifically. (Still 1000% going to commission you by the way when I've got my refs together + am not in danger of being unable to afford Gaiden and 8 lol). Sort of like with Masato and Daigo, I think characters who are clearly based on each other work quite well together even if it's seen as crack. You can come up with pretty compelling ideas trying to rationalize those similarities from a Watsonian perspective.

The devotion is absolutely the strongest point (having the exact same relationship tag for Arakawa and Daigo respectively + similar wording for it in the 15th anniversary book is a nice touch), but for me it's also what's done with it in terms of presentation. For both Mine and RGGJo you're supposed to believe they're actively working against Daigo and Arakawa's interests for most of the story.

And they probably kind of are, but they're convinced the pros outweigh the cons (as with the resort gambit, which you're remembering correctly!) Though it may not have the same effect nowadays for various reasons (spoilers, plot points becoming predictable on account of other games, etc), the devotion was originally supposed to be a twist.

There are other things, of course; they're both the "treasurers" of their respective organizations, they're both third-in-command of the Tojo and Omi, they're both talented people who possess overwhelming strength and influence and are regarded as geniuses (despite scenes to the contrary). If I wanted to reach design-wise, they've got mirrored ahoges, and Mine's "Legend" costume is probably based on characters like RGGJo and Nishiki. Their first cards were even officially stated to have synergy on account of their very similar skillset.

You end up noticing a lot of things like that if you're clinically insane like I am, but the one thing that's really stuck with me is that the render used for RGGJo's office is specifically a new render the Hakuho Clan office. It's missing the stuff that's supposed to be missing, the stuff Kanda broke, but only that. Mine's art collection, which is very personal to him as is also revealed in RGGO, is preserved in full.

There are a number of newly-rendered locations in RGGO and they could've just done that, or they could've picked any location that's not (imo) one of the most iconic, but I don't know why they didn't. And I don't know whether it was just convenience, whether it's simply meant to be reflective of them having similar tastes without being the same office, or whether it's just honest to God the same office. I mean, it's not like there's any reason to acknowledge it in-game.

But I think, in a weird way, that this is one of the things that carried over to Y7Jo alongside the devotion and The Eye Scene. A lot of people don't notice because there's so much going on in Y7's finale, but the Arakawa Family office the finale takes place in is specifically Y7Jo's office. And if you examine the Hakuho Clan office and the Arakawa Family office as spaces Mine and Y7Jo have created for themselves, there are very few aesthetic similarities other than being pretty tasteful two-storey offices, but both are, in their own ways, designed for companionship.

There is the obvious fully-stocked bar and main seating area in both, but that's sort of whatever, that's entertainment and hospitality. What really catches my eye, at least on the first floor, is that every piece of gym equipment in Mine's office comes in pairs; similarly, there's the pair of armchairs that are just by themselves behind Y7Jo's desk.

The second floor of Mine's office basically consists of only a TV, a table, and a set of couches, but I think the second floor of of 7Jo's is the more telling of the two. You walk upstairs from this very snazzy, richly decorated first floor (btw, like Mine's gym equipment and art, I would like to think the fact it's decked from top to bottom with books isn't just for show) to a second floor that consists of… absolutely nothing.

Nothing except another pair of armchairs, echoing those on the first floor, facing out into this gorgeous (RGGJou would--and has--said "romantic") view of Kamurocho. Maybe it's just to have this dramatic, spacious arena for the very last fight, but I just think that visual is potentially such a strong bit of storytelling via set dressing.

I also think with RGGJo being split into Y7Jo and Masato, some of the Mine influence kind of ended up with Masato too, specifically as Aoki. At least insofar as all the catastrophizing about not truly being cared-for despite evidence to the contrary, and I kind of felt like the moment where he shoots at and narrowly misses Ichi's head, then throws his gun away for a good ol' fistfight was Something.

Completely agree on your assessment of the link to Nishiki as well! There's the surface level design similarities with young RGGJo back when he had long hair and accessorized less, but yeah, no notes. I definitely think Y7Arakawa's line applies perfectly to the dynamic they were going for, too.

I thought the implication was that Masato wouldn't have survived at all in RGGO on account of Arakawa being unable to open the locker, but it's super interesting to think about how things might've turned out otherwise! A Masato who's Just A Guy and treated sort of like RGGO Mitsu's offscreen wife and kid is such a concept.

I really do hope there's a continuation to the story; as it stands, it literally ends with Jo in a coma lol. But I'm grateful RGGO is still accessible and actively updated, in comparison to the previous mobile titles, which also had original stories that are all gone now.

Jo was actually in a very recent event, even. The event spent its whole runtime talking about how cats are sensitive to smell, and evidently, according to the ending, Jo is incredibly sensitive to smell himself. I'm not sure which Jo it was even supposed to be since he was offscreen, but uh, catboy confirmed? Nyawashiro…? It's fun trivia.

Mentioning Arakawa's "sons" line in such close proximity to talking about Tsutsumi reminds me! There was this Y7 interview with all three actors (that has since been privated and that I kick myself every day for archiving) where Nakai and Tsutsumi were talking about how they usually play father and son.

So there's this very, very long history of them co-starring (as I'm sure you're aware lol), like from way back when Tsutsumi's voice was actually higher. And I think the casting choices absolutely are informed by the history and context there, both as individuals and as co-stars, both in terms of filmography as you say and not.

One particular anecdote that just Gets Me is that this was Tsutsumi's first time voice-acting, and he honestly wasn't even sure he'd take the role, but he accepted once he heard Nakai was on board. And he went on to actually enjoy it so much he read the rest of the (gargantuan) script, far beyond his own dialogue, and ended up forgetting the lines to the play he was doing at the time.

He also went on to voice-act a second time in The Deer King, where he plays… another iintimidating man with a violent reputation and a "soft"/deeper side (who is of course a reluctant father), actually. I actually have seen most of his other roles, and Jo really is almost one-of-a-kind. Though it's hard to find any one character he's "like," I can absolutely see what you mean with regard to Oda Nobunaga and Kanda.

I think that actually really works with regard to audiences having an idea of what to expect from his character and to an extent from Y7 if you look Jo as more of a culmination of Tsutsumi's career up to that point. In addition to what you've mentioned already, I also detect a lot of Koda (Good Luck!!) and Ogata (SP)'s themes with regret and making amends and vengeance in particular.

There's a little bit of Appare (Kagerou Touge) and Shibata (Keiho) too, I think, in terms of presenting yourself as worse than you actually are. And I think Tsutsumi's own struggles with mental health lend a lot of gravitas to characters like Ishigami (Suspect X) and Jo, who you can't really argue Isn't Depressed, especially at present.

And of course, y'know, he's played yakuza (to great effect), he's played dads (to great effect; btw, I would say the worst fathers/father figures he's played are probably in Fable II and My Blood & Bones in a Flowing Galaxy, Jo somehow doesn't even compare lol). Also, pretty much every Tsutsumi character either ends up dead or in jail, being a villain in an RGG game notwithstanding. There are often very strong critiques of police and politics present in his work as well, Y7 being no exception.

It's similar with Nakai, maybe to an even greater extent than with Tsutsumi, since Y7 borrows more heavily from his works and his personal life aligns surprisingly well with Arakawa's. They're both actors who are sons of actors, lost their fathers at a young age, were raised by abusive mothers, and ended up with a sort of unlikely father figure in adulthood. So I think it's sweet that Nakai ended up enjoying Arakawa as much as Tsutsumi did Jo. It's kind of funny being more or less typecast as a dad without actually having any children (unlike Tsutsumi), though.

I touched on it a tiny bit before but that's a really insightful take on RGGJo's splintering, as well! And you're most welcome. I've always found it fascinating just how closely their backgrounds tie in to who they end up being. I completely agree having his dad around did a lot for Arakawa in terms of having the confidence to stick to his guns.

But yeah, you know, it's just tragic. I think it's also one of the less talked-about ways abuse can perpetuate itself. Because Jo treating Ichi the way his father may have treated him is sort of the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the topic, but Jo's learned avoidance also goes on to make Arakawa a scapegoat for Aoki's abuse.

I'm always a fan of your takes and insights, so I don't mind the wait: thank you so much for writing as much as you have, it's really wonderful being able to discuss Jo and RGGO v. Y7 as a whole! (I have to be embarrassed about the Daigo's-Age bit though: I'm glad I was able to help point it out, but I remember being so sassy and rude in the post where I mentioned it 😭)

It's great that despite their differences, both Jo's are still incredibly enjoyable; the roles each Jo fulfills, although different, are still executed in ways that keep the character in a close beat with each other, but of course effectively fill out their new purposes in new interesting ways!

As a bit of an aside, I've always been curious and nosy about the full details about New Years Day, 2001 and what happened after that. Anything I can say about the night tiptoes more into theory territory than anything solid, but if we're to go off the notion Masato really did head straight home afterwards, then it is fair to assume Jo had to have met with Arakawa that same night not long after the call in order for Arakawa to be ready to talk to Ichi the same morning (it must have been the biggest shock afterwards for Masato to hear he's gotta run to America if the three of them didn't talk about it together- which I'm assuming is what happened since, as you said, Masato shouldn't be anywhere near cigarettes, and the ash tray is definitely indicative of a stressful discussion). BUT Jo's preexisting devotion to Arakawa (plus the nod to/rework of RGGJo actually attacking a rival gang) nonetheless definitely helped in making their story digestible to the people they had to tell.

The fact Jo and Arakawa interact so little on screen really is unfortunate, even if it's understandable as to why. At the very least, I'm grateful there's so many bits of context clues through the game/s that can at least offer a peak into their dynamic! Segwaying away from that though, I can't lie I was already thinking of some bullet points regarding Jo's brain as I was falling asleep, so it's definitely something I want to put to paper when I get to: I'm glad to hear I have your interest on it when I write it! In that same vein, I'd be more than happy as well to hear about these notes you've seen that can apply not only to Mine, but to the Arakawa family. As you note later on, Mine and Aoki share similar philosophies, so I'd love to see your full take on that if you get to it!

About Mine though, it was really hard for me not to joke about the two being similar whenever the chance arose: I mean, two men who lose their fathers (admittedly, Jo chose to leave his dad but Dad Lost is still a bullet point on the venn diagram... that now I actually feel like taking the time to make later...) turn out to become their respective clan's most trusted asset (and handler of assets) who are volatile when it comes to the ones they care about (I don't have to clarify Mine, but as for Jo, aside from The Eye Scene and even the book wording, he definitely overreacts to Ichi having Masato's money. Of course, part of his anger could be due to his belief in the honor of being a yakuza, but I wouldn't say it's a reach to also assume that the idea of Ichi pestering Masato- if not assuming the worst for whatever reason from Ichiban of all people- might have irked him) and ironically act out in ways that would go against what the ones they care about want (more so strictly about RGGJo, of course)- it's hard not to see the notes borrowed from Mine to make Jo. In that, I do really enjoy their devotions being twists; even if that twist might not work nowadays as efficiently, I'll still enjoy it for what it's able to provide and how it can deepen a character.

To continue on to visual similarities, I actually did notice RGGJo's office being the same as Mine's (I stopped reading for a bit just to make a mini thread about it on my private Twitter)! Whether it was intentional or a simple reuse of assets, it's a great nod to Mine's influence on his character.

As for Y7Jo's office in comparison to Mine's- if I may accidentally go on a bit of an analytical rant- it's a little funny how different they are despite being tangential in wanting a space for companionship (like you mentioned for Jo's case, it might have been for dramatic purposes, but it wouldn't hurt to try and examine the room at face value for a second).

Mine's office is comparatively brighter and more apparently inviting, and it's not just due to the nighttime setting of Jo's office as his office's walls are painted black- but at the same time, the contrast almost feels intentional. Mine's apartment, even if spacious, has the social pieces close to each other, especially in relation to his personal desk. On the flip side, Jo's desk is considerably isolated away from the grand table in the side of the room. In these differences, I think it does lead to a great representation of their relationships with people and what they wanted out of life: with Mine, despite wanting people to be close to him and in his proximity, he's ultimately alone and by himself. On the contrary, Jo appears satisfied with- at least- only having Masato in his life, the second chair undoubtedly being honorary to Arakawa in a similar vein. He isn't too concerned with getting close to anyone else, thus no need for his table set to be so nearby. I could just be talking about nothing though- yet I think these differences is a great way to show how despite inspiration from Mine, they divide off into different characters still (honestly I might steal from this ask and make a separate post about this because now I've gotten myself invested in set design- it can go in the same post as my venn diagram I guess lmao).

Nevertheless, RGGJo and Mine borrowing from each other design wise is also another fun bit- it's as if Yokoyama's grabbing people by the shoulders and practically begging us to realize Jo's influenced by him (don't worry Mr. Yokoyama, I see you). Ergo, Y7Jo and Masato being split from RGGJo is such an interesting take of the two characters: it not only helps highlight Jo's traits it really also heightens Mine's extended influence on Masato (their inability to shoot people standing still is probably going to be a new favorite comparison I hadn't noticed before LMAO).

Moving on though, that lost interview with Nakai and Tsutsumi's going to haunt me now: I'd love to be able to see it, I love actor interviews, especially when the actors featured are already so familiar with each other! It's so sweet how connected the two are- it's what makes it a little more unfortunate that we didn't get to see Jo and Arakawa on screen together more. On that note though, I actually had a similar conclusion that Jo was a solid representation of Tsutsumi's career thus far: his ability to play deep and sentimental characters that have a rough exterior while also possessing some action to the role that he initially sought after in his career really encapsulates his ability as an actor! All in all, I'm glad that Nakai and Tsutsumi were able to have strong connections to their characters in Y7- and I can't really argue against Nakai's dad-typecast: there's just something about him that screams 'father' to me even if, ironically as you said, he isn't a father to any kids.

Things to look forward to culturally?

Beyonce! Going cowboy!

Museum as performance space - gaining legitimacy in one of a kind performances in a unique setting. I guess similar to what the ICA are doing but they're getting the good stuff in terms of curation.

I think that alongside the high costs of everything, the audience that artists have to deal with today are much more either segregated class-wise or not used to seeing continuous art and being able to evaluate it/ seeing it as a "little treat". (see for example: The TikTok kids who saw Steve Lacy or Mitski's current tour) For example, think of any major exhibition today in the UK and the cost of tickets usually range between £16-20 esp London. Meaning people usually see the extremely popular things that have been tried and tested and the more experimental/local/DIY things are left behind. It also means that the general public's tolerance for maybe I'd say the "Avant Garde" has decreased over the past 10 years. If TV is the most accessible medium, think about what's on regular tv sans Netflix (which is already extremely sanitised)...there's this extreme lack of maybe kooky music/culture programming that explores and interviews artists of the day in an accessible way or just regular toned programming which allows people to know about each other (See Raven's Row exhibition from last year?)

Things coming up this year:

Reading List:

[mymarifae]

just pulled this card (it breaks my heart btw :( miku ..) which means i got a better look at the corresponding costume and i want to talk about something

two things here stand out to me: the clock and the flowers. the significance of the clock is like, obvious. i mean, insert the usual drivel about the passage of time. it’s important to live every moment to the fullest so you have no regrets when the moment inevitably ends, but just the fact that you know it will come to an end can make enjoying it difficult. everything from a day out with friends to the entirety of your high school years - you know it will end and your life will take on a new shape and that’s fucking scary. the presence of a clock only serves to remind you that time is running out, better squeeze every last bit of happiness out of this before everything changes forever, if you die tomorrow will you be satisfied with the life you have lived? no? ...

as far as the flowers go, i have been looking at flowers for the past several hours, and my conclusion is...... i don’t fucking know. the best i’ve got is they could be balloon flowers, azaleas, or maybe forget-me-nots. balloon flowers are associated with friendship! as well as endless love, loyalty, honesty, and specifically the desire for an old friend to re-enter your life. this last meaning intrigues me, but moving on: azaleas usually symbolize things along the lines of (developing, still fragile) passion and taking care of yourself and your loved ones. they are also associated with new beginnings and feelings of homesickness. the symbolism for forget-me-nots is in the name: don’t forget me. they’re all about remembrance. true love is another meaning, and they can be used to symbolize a connection between two (or more) people that endures the passage of time and every challenge life throws their way.

i’m 71% sure those are just some generic flowers and perhaps trying to pinpoint what they are to pull out some symbolism is a fruitless endeavor, but let’s all just have fun forever, yeah? <3 and even if they aren’t actual flowers put on this costume design with purpose and intent, we can consider the choice of making them blue (beyond just matching miku’s hair). blue is the color of commitment, wisdom, trust, serenity... and it is also the color of struggling to move on from the past, of resisting change, of sadness and grief.

now that we have confirmation that the kids will not be frozen in time forever and will actually be graduating from their current grades come next anniversary, we know we’re in for a pretty big storm. things are going to change, and it’s going to be especially messy for wonderlands x showtime and nightcord at 25:00 and probably MORE MORE JUMP! - just because they’re the groups whose members are not all in the same year. the characters are going to grow up a little more and become a little more in tune with their own unique feelings and dreams. they can’t stay the way they are now forever, and that’s scary, but it’s also fine, isn’t it? behind every ending is a new beginning.

and here miku is, serving as the embodiment for all of that. that being the changes the future will bring, the inevitable endings the kids will have to face together, the struggle to accept that these goodbyes are necessary and that even if hurts, they’re taking the first steps towards something even better and even brighter. i think that’s pretty damn clever, considering her existence is tied to all their feelings.

but, you know. how does she feel about it? how does she feel about watching her friends grow up in a way that she’ll never be able to? how does she feel about... inevitably being left behind?

(hint: look at the card again.)

... lots to think about! something i’ve always wondered about the direction of this game is if new characters and new groups and new SEKAIs will ever be introduced, and now i’m beginning to wonder if colorful palette intends to take an approach similar to what love live has done over the years? we’ll watch these five groups grow up and move on. one or two of them might disband by the time they graduate high school, and others (namely leo/need and vivid BAD SQUAD) will stick together and keep their lives centered around music. i’m not sure what this will mean for their respective SEKAIs, and i will keep my theories to myself for the time being. i’m writing the Future of SEKAI (thank you. i love you. goodbye.) series for a reason. BUT once these five groups graduate, i wonder... are we going to be introduced to entirely new characters with entirely new SEKAIs? and the 20 kids we’ve come to know and love might pop up here and there, as family friends or celebrities that the new characters look up to and will eventually meet by chance or... whatever. like, stepping into roles similar to the one iori plays in leo/need's story. (side note: i bring up iori specifically because totally think she and the rest of STANDOUT had/have their own SEKAI. do you see how the cycle perpetuates itself?) because that is certainly one way to keep your gacha money machine going indefinitely that doesn't stretch your characters thin and keeps things fresh and exciting for your audience.

who really knows, though :)

[mysteryman-17]

I honestly don't have the drive to write up the associated dialogue for this one right now (have been prepping some other stuff outta order,) but I'll try to come back to it at some point!

Time’s End is an AHIT/Undertale crossover AU of sorts, taking place in the aftermath of a timeline where you lose the final boss fight against Mustache Girl. You can find the write-up here! In addition to the AO3 link being updated with lots of new material, you can also find the write-ups for the Neutral Endings and TimeWarp Route requirements over on Google Docs! The logo for Time's End was designed by @bittybattybunny. She's an incredible artist, be sure to check out their work here on Tumblr and over on Twitter!!

Mustache Girl takes on a hybrid Asgore and Asriel role, and her Palace acts as the New Home replacement. Hat Kid also takes the role of Sans. Bow Kid has come a long way by this point in the story, and as she makes her way through the labyrinth to Mu and her Time Pieces (her final step to being able to go home,) many of the people of this world are there to greet our protagonist. We may know the basics of what got everyone in this mess, but much like UT itself, here is where the ill-fated clash between Mu and Hat Kid is unveiled to its full extent.

Motifs:

Get Lost (modified)

Main Theme/Title Screen

Time Rift Story Book (Synth Jam)

Alternate Death Wish Time Sphere Loop (scrapped AHIT track)

The End (chords)

So... my first ever Track 71 replacement, and it's the one for Time's End (and will prolly be the longest single track posted for this AU to boot!) Wish I'd been able to finish this in time for Undertale's 7th anniversary, but oh well. Consider this my late contribution to the party! XD Also ye, I didn't wanna just go with "haha track 71's name is the same as the AU name," so I came up with smth different lol. Anyhow. The variety of motifs for Mustache Girl and Hat Kid in AHIT proper are... well, rather lacking when it comes to building a track like this to say the least, especially as far as the latter is concerned. Judge Jury and Executioner also just wasn't gonna cut it as a melody this time though I did use some of its general stylings in the backing, so I had to REALLY play around with the motifs I used to get things to fit the vibe I wanted here - including another modification of Get Lost as the "Memory" stand-in. I even included an essentially original motif that I made a year ago from building on top of Time Rift Story Book's very basic chords. The results definitely paid off here though, and I'm incredibly happy with how this turned out! The particular key change I did on the final section was very much a happy accident, and so many things just wound up coming together far nicer than I first thought, especially where my most bonkers motif choices are concerned. (Btw yes, considering how simple it is, this means I'll try to do the Memory replacement fairly soon-ish.) All my ramblings aside though, I hope you guys enjoy! :)

You can also listen to this track in high quality on the AU’s SoundCloud here! (Recommend it with this one moreso than any other track I’ve posted so far. Had to REALLY squash the bitrate, in comparison to the raw WAV file on SC, to make Tumblr take it due to the sheer length XP)

The Designer and the Actress

I have read a lot of fics about Felix(canon) pretending to be Adrien but little about Bridgette pretending to be Marinette. So inspiration came to ma and this idea was born.

Brigdette is one of the leading actresses in the show, ‘Legends in London.’ which was very popular.

A supernatural show with children and descendants of famous myths acting as humans in modern day London.

Brigadette plays a witch, descendant of Merlin.

She goes to Paris for some reason, maybe shooting a scene and meets Marinette

They look like twins. And the Barbie movie ‘Pauper and the Princess’ is my inspiration here and the other one with a popstar and a princess.

Marinette helps her avoid the paparazzi by dressing B in her clothes and B wears the same pigtails hairstyle as M.

Akuma attacks and B finds out that M is Ladybug somehow.

Tikki is okay with B knowing after some reasoning.

B is in Paris to shoot some scenes and the day she met M is her last day there.

Her manager sees M doing an impression of B while they were both out at the park and everything went downhill from there.

The Manager, thinking M is B, takes her away and gets her onto the private jet.

M tries to tell her that she is not B but the manager doesn’t listen, thinking B is being over dramatic as always.

M seeing that she was going to be away from Paris. Tells Tikki to take the earrings and give to B.

B tries to tell the Manager that She is the real B but she doesn’t listen.

Can’t follow after the manager dragged M into the car and took off.

She is lost in Paris and has no idea where to go. Her phone was with M for some reason and B had M’s.

Tikki appears with the earrings, saying Paris needs a Ladybug so M gave them to her.

B is super-honoured to be chosen but she doesn’t know what to do.

Tikki tells her the way to the Bakery.

There were a few mishaps because Tikki spends most of her time in the purse so she didn’t know the exact way.

They finally made it to the bakery and told M's parents about what happened.

Thankfully, they believe her and tell her that she can stay with them until they can get everything back to normal.

They tried calling B's phone but it was in airplane mode.

By now, Marinette is in a private jet on the way to London and she can’t do anything. They can’t call on Brigdette’s phone because it was locked and she doesn’t know the password.

So M arrives in London and is greeted by Allegra.

She pulls A to the bathroom and tells her to unlock B’s phone. A is confused at first and M tells her that “she is not really B and please she got to believe her.”

A says yes because ‘Bridgette cannot pull off a decent French accent to save her life.’

Meanwhile, M’s phone rings and B answers the video call. Sees M and A.

Explanations and planning stuff and A agrees to help M until B’s parents come back from their trip in a month which was somewhere with bad signal or at an island for their wedding anniversary. (plot convenience)

They are the only ones who will be able to tell that M isn’t B and get the manager to see reason.

Meanwhile the manager is super convinced that M is B and no, she didn’t make a mistake. No one else was able to convince her that she took the wrong girl.

Meanwhile, B takes care of Ladybug stuff and she is going to school in Marinette’s place. She is excited to get a school experience. The school board is aware of the situation and allows it (again plot convenience)

M tells her that people in her class don't like her much because of Lila so it might not be a fun experience B expects.

B tells her not to worry and give her info on everyone because she is a good actress and she needs to know the role she is going to play.

Kagami and Luka know about this btw. They found out by themselves because Luka hears a different melody and knows that she's not Marinette and Kagami was suspicious of Marinette’s new attitude when they met up for their weekly fencing session which her mother allows because somehow teaching others to fence is a good way to improve her own techniques. (idk anything abt fencing.)

So when she arrives at school and after a very exhausting and alarming day with Lila's lies and Adrien's high road talk, B decides to do some stuff about some of M’s problems because “this girl needs some therapy and whoa this environment is very toxic”.

She may be homeschooled like Adrien but she was not lacking in social awareness and sees that this situation is not okay.

BNHA Chapter 320 Short Spoiler Analysis: The Power of Friendship

The battle between Deku Vs. Class A has begun!  Well, it’s technically a battle, but more so a “Catch-A-Deku” situation.  Everyone is trying to use their cool Super Moves and words of friendship to try to convince Deku to come back home.  They’re all reminding him all of times he helped them, so they’re trying to return the favor.  So far, I think half the class was featured here including Shoto who I thought would be saved til the end.  Maybe he will be featured again since he’s one of Deku’s closest friends.  What’s interesting is that the trio that was shown at the end of last week’s chapter, Bakugo, Ochako, and Iida, didn’t have their heart-to-hearts with Deku this week, so I bet you they’re being saved for the end.  Anyway, my left hand is still on the mend, so I’ll keep this one short this week.  I hope it heals soon.

The 2nd Color page is shown this week!  It’s of Froppy this time around!  I think it’s been a while since we’ve seen Froppy featured in a color page, so this is cool to see.  She looks really good here too.  Horikoshi’s art rarely disappoints.  Next week is going to be the 7th BNHA Anniversary color page and the 7th Popularity Poll announcement, so I’m excited for that.  Apparently we’re going to get a lot of BNHA things next week including things for the WHM movie, Team-Up Missions, and the WHM one-shot manga.

I love how at the beginning, Bakugo breaks the 4th wall here by commenting on how Deku’s “art style” underwent a complete change.  It’s both a good taunt on Bakugo’s part and some acknowledgment from Horikoshi-sensei on the change of Deku’s design in general since this arc began.

So, Bakugo did tell the rest of 1-A about Deku’s other Quirks which is good.  I thought that would be the case after remembering that Bakugo read All Might’s OFA archive book.  Bakugo would still look over the other Holder’s Quirks, so he would have knowledge on the 4th-6ths Holders.  Problem is that none of them know of the 2nd and 3rd’s Quirks, so dealing with Fa-Jin will be troublesome.  None of us know what the 2nd’s Quirk is yet though, but I have a feeling we’ll see it in this battle.

Quite a few new Super Moves debut in this chapter!  

Katsuki Bakugo: Shockwave Landmine: Looks like Bakugo creates a blast on the ground so that the blast blows away anything around it like Deku’s Smokescreen.  It’s a big blast too, so Bakugo’s got a lot of range with this thing.

Kiyoka Jiro: Heartbeat Wall: It’s hard to tell, but I think it’s a move where Jiro uses her sound waves to block or stop whatever comes her way.  It could be really effective to stop anyone who can hear I’m sure.

Fumikage Tokoyami: Ragnorok: “Womb”: It’s a like a capturing move that traps anyone within Dark Shadow.  It kind of looks like one of the moves Tokoyami uses in The Strongest Hero Game.  Unless someone has a light Quirk, I can see this move being very effective in capturing villains.

Really, everyone is doing their best to remind Deku of all the good times they had with them. They’re using the power of feels and friendship to bring their sacrificial idiot home.  I like to believe it’s working given how Deku is finally shown crying tears of sadness as he pushes his friends away.  God, please let this kid have a good cry.  How they’ll be able to catch Deku though I still have no idea.

Deku is able to overpower pretty much everyone this chapter.  Even Tokoyami, who is considered one of the strongest in the class, and Momo who created this insanely complex machine to try to put Deku to sleep (how the hell did she make that anyway???).  At the end he’s captured by Shoto’s Heaven-Piercing Ice Wall (which he’s standing on btw and looks so damn pretty 💙☺️), but I doubt that will last.  Deku’s probably going to break right through the ice next chapter.

Speaking of Shoto, since I’m such a simp for him 😔, he has the least amount of dialogue out of everyone having heart-to-hearts with Deku.  But what he says is significant: he basically asks Deku if he can still truly cry and for Deku to share the responsibility with his friends.  I think this is calling back to when Shoto reassured Deku that heroes are allowed to cry back in the Overhaul arc and when Deku meddled with Shoto’s life to save him.  Which is essentially the philosophy everyone’s running on.  Meddling in Deku’s mission is the only way to save him now.

Side note, but I love that Kaminari is the one to tell Deku to take a freaking bath 😂!  Like, we’ve all been telling Deku that, but it’s good to know that Horikoshi and his characters are thinking the same thing.  Now someone has to tell Deku to eat a good meal and take a long nap.  

Also, small detail, but Sato comes in at one point and reminds Deku that they won’t be able to make candied apples for Eri anymore if Deku doesn’t come back.  Deku tells Sato that Eri will be fine without him 😭.  No, Deku, you dumbass!  Eri needs her big bro in her life!  I can’t imagine how sad she must be if she already knows about Deku’s disappearance 😭❤️

I’m also glad to see pretty much every student get some kind of spotlight especially the ones who are more minor characters than the others.  Koda actually gets a mini-monoluge this chapter.  Also, Froppy’s got a lot of focus at the end along with the color page this chapter.  Which, I’m glad to see.  It’s been a long time since Tsuyu got some spotlight.  Really, all the girls need more spotlight.  I assume everyone else will get their shine the next few chapters.  

It’s small and I’m still trying to find the meaning of it, but there’s one panel after Deku escapes from Tokoyami showing him flying through the air in the background and you can see the All Might statue at the forefront.  I want to say this symbolizes Deku being All Might’s successor or something, but I’m not sure.  This one just stood out to me for some reason.  

But yeah, like I said, the last half of the class will probably be featured next chapter.  I think Bakugo will be the last person to talk to Deku since he’s the most important one here.  Remember: Bakugo knows Deku better than anyone.  He will be the turning point I’m positive.  Iida and Ochako will definitely have an impact on Deku, but Bakugo will truly HIT DIFFERENT!  I won’t be surprised if that last conversation leads up to Deku Vs. Kacchan Part 3.  I wouldn’t be mad if that will happen tbh.  Part 2 was about understanding Bakugo and letting his feelings out.  Part 3 could be Deku’s turn.  And of course you gotta have a trilogy to cap it off.  I’m really excited to see what happens next!

Me seeing all my adopted children come together to save my green broccoli boy 💚🥦:

Here’s my note before I’ll get started….

(NO COPYING OR PLAGIARIZING FROM ME AND ONE OF MY CLOSEST FRIEND’S WORK! THAT INCLUDES OUR CHARACTERS, DESIGNS, STUFF, ETC. IMPOSTERS AND SEXBOTS ARE NOT WELCOME TO FOLLOW MY BLOG WHATSOEVER! 😡 That will be all….I mean it.)

“Day 1: Looney 🐰🔨”

Welcome to my next chapter of 🎃Inktober 2023! Sorry for keeping you waiting that I’m still working through some of them left before the next day comes. Let’s just say not everything is perfect, but as long I’m still in the game without losing tracks. At least I still got plenty of few completed Inktober artworks from past months. That sure keep it busy while hoping to get though others before this month ends.

Anyways, here’s the first one for this squirrel boy’s Inktober appearance. Despite being a “shyful” bushy tailed friend who won’t hurt a fly, but why not letting him doing some slapstick tricks in his sleeves? Make that wearing his rabbit-like sleeves and went hammering this pumpkin at night.

🥜Brown: Just wanted to have this as a tribute for CN’s 31st birthday/anniversary moments. I’m supposed to be like Bugs Bunny and ran with it. At least I didn’t get to hurt no one, but at the pumpkin patch said otherwise. Priceless? Yeah. Ruining someone’s patch? Yikes. 😬 Do hope no one caught me after this.

BTW, I also had my list written and a new themed logo ready. Though through 20th to 30th remains a mystery due to not decision yet. I tried my best as we’re going forward til October is over. Wish me luck for this year if I’m having “other tasks” to cover up as well.

Hashira ft. Sabito as genshin impact players

aunotes : Bad grammar ahead! I didnt proofread it so be aware of brain damage. plus i initially wrote it at the 1.6 update

PART 1 : T.Muichiro, R.Kyojuro, K.Shinobu, S.Sanemi, U.Tengen 

Muichiro : he probably would be uninterested at first. He's more to first person shooting game or anything other than this concept of farming or investing. So that's why when he saw yuichirou banging his fist on his desk, trying to get his fav character, he would simply just watch

"Fck this game, i've had enough,"

"But you havent finish your wishing things yet,"

Stares. "How about you give it a try mui. You might get the character i want,"

"You sure about that? You might get angry at me," "better than nothing. Now go go, get em you donkey,"

His first ten pulls on the game brings out a light we all want to see

"Eh is tha-" "AAAA A FUCKING 5 STAR FCK FCKFCK,"

Apparently, it was one of the luckiest wish yuichiro had ever seen so far

"OHMYFUCK, you GOT A GODDAMN KLEE, QIQI AND SUCROSE WTFF???"

"I think i get your fav character?"

"Yeahh!! More than that to be honest. I want klee but you brought me two more person," sniffles and cries "you're really lucky mui. You should try and play the game,"

"It's probably the system. I doubt im that lucky tho,"

Nah, he really is lucky. Apparently he wished for his friends and got what they all really wanted for so long

"Thank you for getting me the aquila favonia, muichiro,"

"It's nothing really. I just simply press the button. It might be the system that's giving you the thing you want when i wish,"

"But still, even if i were to wish, i can get really scared and paranoid over it,"

"That's bad. You shouldnt invest yourself that much in the game tanjiro. It's just a game,"

"Ehehehe, i guess so. But you're really good at it muichiro! If you download it, we can play together :D!"

!!!!

It took the word "play together" to get muichiro down on his knee for that game. Usually the idea of playing with your friends is not that interesting. So when tanjiro said that, you bet he's going to play it

Type of player

Extremely lucky it's not even real. He got a five star on the beginner's banner

Fast farming. He probably will complete all the quest and become an endgame player within one month

"I just wanted to play with tanjiro..." bashfully

He's really good with whatever he's doing. Attack combo, dodging, elemental reaction and all sorts of stuff. If he invest more of his time on artifacts, he would probably even one shot it!!

He's very lucky. Very

Kyojuro : he wouldnt even know the existence of this game. Well, he took a glimpse of it one day and boom, heart stolen. Maybe it was the fiery burning passion in bennett that made him play the game.

'oh wow!! What a determined young boy! Even though he has a very bad luck he still keep pushing forward! Amazing!!'

'I want to be like him'

Kyojuro's the type of player to read and pay attention to every single lore of his fav character. Bennett, oh my how he wish he could've had bennett in his team. Every wishes he made would make him a c6 bennett main if only barbara wont stop coming home

"I really like you barbara but i dont want you!! Thank you for the c6 though!! I promise to use you in the future but just-" he prepares to wish

"not NOW!!" Clicks

The highest con of bennett he had ever gotten is probably c1. One day the paimon's bargain shop offered bennett as their monthly character. Kyojuro had never been so excited over a game before. He usually perks up over academics and not this kind of thing. But it's bennett, the character he admires the most.

Unfortunately he couldnt get it due to low currency. He had never feel so sad in his life.

"I shall not give up. Dont worry, i will be a c6 bennett main!!!"

He will be a c6 bennett haver!!

Type of player :

Carefully reads every stories and listens to their lines attentively. He finds it amazing how the company spent their everything on this game. It amazes him. From the stories, lores and lines, he truly appreciates it.

Balance his team pretty well. He mains bennett so he doesnt need that much of a healer in his team.

Enjoys bennett's hangout very much!! He tried to not get him killed by the dungeon's trap but ended up having to sacrifice him which ultimately ends the route. He had never felt so down and guilty before.

Not much of a damage dealer. He prefers to play it in normal mode and doesnt care that much about one shotting monster.

He feeds his character three meals a day!! If only there's a sleep option, he would be sending bennett to sleep first before the rest.

Everyone loves his teapot

Shinobu : found the game while she's scrolling through the app store out of boredom. Initially she played it on her phone but due to the fps and a really bad ping, so bad that douma wouldnt find her interesting anymore, she finally downloaded the game on her pc where things has starting to get real

"Ara, shinobu chan, it's lunch time already. Come downstairs please,"

"Sis give me five more minutes, JUST FIVE PLEASE I NEED TO KICK CHILDE's ASS,"

"he's not going anywhere sweetie,"

"yEAHH BUT MY BP IS,"

'Bp?'

"DIE DIE DIE!!" Aggresive clicking intensifies

"Shinobu chan dont hurt the keyboard that much!!"

She got lucky on the beginner's banner too and pulled a 5 star along with bennett and noelle. Who's the 5 star? Diluc Ragnvindr in all of his glory. Shinobu benched him sadly. She prefers sword over any other weapon

"I mean he's cool i guess but i just really dont get that 'WOAHHH COOL' vibe from him you know?"

"then give your diluc to me! I really want him so bad shinobu chan!"

Deep sighs "yeah sure. You can have my c2 diluc mitsuri..."

Loses 50/50 to diluc everytime everyone would think she either is lucky or cursed by the amount of that man greeting him on the screen. She still bench him though, sadly

"Im begging you, give me jEANN THE GRANDMASTER I NEED HEALER iN MY PARTY TO DO ABYSS

Type of player :

Suffers a lot in the abyss because she just want the primos which is a valid reason to do because that's the only thing that keeps her going

She's a sword character main. She'll properly build every character as either support or dps. The support would be kaeya and bennett, and her main dps ayaka

Ayaka main btw

Honestly at some point she wanted to quit the game because of how tiring it is but then inazuma came out

Fragile resin = 0

Resin = 160/160 happens once in a blue moon

"i should probably control myself with the amount of resin i've used,"

"But i cant,"

Hates domain but always can be seen playing in there

Only coops if mitsuri is there

"So that someone can calm me down,"

"That's not a really good reason shinobu chan,"

Sanemi : dude probably know the game through obanai. He watched the latter play and finds it interesting on how high the numbers he dealt. He loves challenges so a game like genshin impact would probably satisfy his need.

"Obanai, are you hearing this shit?"

"What is it sanemi, im busy doing this event,"

"That loser giyuu is also playing the game,"

"Oh yeah i know,"

"YOU KNOW? WHY YOU DIDNT TELL ME??"

"i just know right after you told me,"

"...."

Sanemi's a meta but a mediocre one. He's meta but he doesnt show it that much. Probably buys welkin once in every three months or when he really needs it same goes with battle pass too. Honestly, he really just use his money when he really needs something

"Donno if my allowance can buy me a welkin so i'll probably skip,"

"But the next banner is zhongli's,"

"....."

"Ah fuck it," buys

My man cant dodge after he got zhongli. Its very painful because he used to studies the enemies movement in the early game so that he can utilizes it on the team but zhongli's shield is so tank he forgot that dodging exists

"Im gonna kill you and you and you hhahaahhaah just you wait im gonna shred all of yo- oh shit zhongli's shield. puT IT BACK PUT IT BACK ON,"

That one event where zhongli's shield plays an important role in the domain? Yeah, he felt like a god at that time. Even got his c2 on his rerun. Sanemi just really like zhongli because it kinda reminds him of himejima. Calm and wise and strong too. He looks up on that kind of person

"Zhongli sama, im in debt for all of your hard work protecting my team," bows and wipes tears

Type of player :

Spends a little money on the game to get what he wants

Zhongli main

Is that one player that has hoards of food but doesnt even use it

"Why need healer when you have zhongli's shield,"

Compare to kyojuro, he doesnt even touch the teapot because he finds it ridiculous and bothersome to create and design everything in it

Loves one shotting bosses and compares it to giyuu. He ask for advices from obanai regarding team build supports and stuffs

Doesnt do character's story quest. The key is full every single time. He unlocks it but leaves the quest like that.

"Ah shit, i accidentally activate the quest,"

His friend list only has obanai in it. Whenever people sent him friend request, he wouldnt hesitate, more like wouldnt care to accept it

They either have to coop in obanai's world or his world and after that, unfriend immediately

Says thank you after coop because he has manners and then completely disappears

"Zhongli main forever,"

Tengen : played since 1.0 this madlad has been staying loyal to the game ever since. Quite huge amount of money he spend on this game to be honest but he never gets broke by it. You can see his regular donation to the game by purchasing welkin and battle pass and some genesis crystal too. He's loaded with money, he didnt know what to do with it.

Uzui also plays honkai impact and guns girl Z so when he saw the unknown god at the intro , he was not surprised.

"Oh we have to pick between the siblings? Cool cool co- oh hi kiana,"

"Thats so herrscher of void hahahahah,"

Although he is a loyal fan to MihoYo games, he lost his composure when he saw the 1st genshin anniversary reward because what was that. Imagine getting billions of money and they give us this? Tengen cant believe this shit

"Oh god wtf was that reward, i have to draw to get a welkin and some primos?? aND I ALSO HAVE TO BE LUCKY? WHAT-"

"WHERE'S MY FREE MONA,"

In need of mona. He needs mona so bad he literally spent his money on standard banner to get mona but always ends up with qiqi. Not that he's complaining but he just wants the astrologist to complete the support team

"GOD QIQI YOU AGAIN? WTF WFF WTF-" converts genesis crystal to primigems

"Tengen, you should control yourself!"

"SHUT UP KYOJURO, IM GONNA WASTE MY MONEY TILL I GET HER,"

"yeah but my f2p ass is hurting with how many bennett cons you got," droops

Tengen sees potential in every character. Everyone has their weakness and strength so when kokomi comes out, he diss her at first but then realize maybe its a new way for a character. Adds the uniqueness if he may say so.

"Meh i dont care honestly. You guys should pull whoever you find nice or beautiful. Like me ;)"

"Who do you main uzui?"

"Beidou,"

Type of player

Spoils the storylines, lores, leaks A LOT THE REST HAVE TO BLOCK HIM ON SOCIAL MEDIA

Speed runs the game and has become an endgame player ever since but he still does his daily commission and helps people with domains and stuffs

R5 every battle pass weapon

Fights azhdaha for fun and to test out his characters rather than ruin guards and stuff

Mona wanter

Puts traveller as the pfp and doesnt display any showcase of his characters and namecards. You can only see his achievements and spiral abyss ( 12-3 ). Says its for fun and mystery

Throws a lot of pickup lines and roleplays a lot. Spams your chatbox messages with stickers and censored stuffs

Probably steals your ores and exotic things like violetgrass, qingxin and silk flowers

Screams in the chatbox whenever he saw Mona until Kyojuro had to calm him down

Changes signature every single time and sometimes put spoilers in it

In every survey he would complain "MihoYo where the fuck is my Mona,"

Doesnt heals his characters
