They're bad for my head, but so good in bed I know they're the worst, but aren't they the best?

Konner Kent: Okay, we're high up, but you just gotta jump-

Tim (Red Robin): Let's go!

Red Robin jumps out of the plane, not wearing the parachute, but holding it in one hand.

Nightwing falls backwards holding the parachute.

Jason walks out like the plane is on the ground, holding the parachute like it's a lunch bag.

Donna (impressed): Thrill seekers, freaking thrill seekers I swear.

Kon: Is that a qualification for getting adopted by Bruce?

Donna shrugs with a smile and jumps out next with Konner.

I swore to myself I wouldnt make my Rook design until I was in the character creator but then I thought of a Rook/Solas dynamic that gripped me oopsie.

I'm actually unbelievably unwell about Etoiles character you don't understand. He's always been a sword, protecting by attacking first, by fighting back, offense as the best defense. He jokes a lot about dying for the island, dramatic and half sarcastic, but there's truth in his jests. He would kill, and he would die, for his daughter, for the rest of the eggs, for the safety of everyone on the island. He does not hesitate, for what good would that do him?

Then he gets the shield, and it changes the entire game. And while he can still kill to protect the island, he can no longer truly die for them.

His role is functionally the same - he draws attention to himself, he's just as ready for a fight as he's always been, he fights the codes to protect the island - but its the difference between a sword and a shield, because of his literal shield.

He's the only solid defense between the codes and the island, and all the eggs. The only one who can tank the hits and negate the effects of their crazy powerful swords.

A sword cannot hesitate, but a shield must consider it - he cannot take risks when he’s fighting in the Colosseum, because if he dies he’d lose the shield. He cannot risk attacking the fake Pomme without hesitation, not until he’s sure beyond a shadow of a doubt that it’s not his real daughter.

A shield must be sturdy. It must hold up under pressure. It must stay strong and reliable, no matter the circumstance - as the eggs go missing and everyone else crumbles, Etoiles cannot follow suit. He will play his part and defend the island, shouldering what the others cannot, because who else will do what he does?

To lose the shield would not only mean to lose himself, but to lose his family. He cannot fall without failing the entire island, his loss would mean disaster, for who is he if he’s not standing between the ones he loves and the monsters that threaten them?

He's as much a shield as the one he carries.

GIRLWORKERS AU!!!!!!!!!1!!!!!

closeups under the cut

girl jason would have a VASTLY different experience in rook islands because citra wouldn't bother with her as a warrior.

girl ajay tho?? girl ajay will cause twice the problem with half the effort. ishwari 2.0 comes to kyrat, tells pagan point blank her mama moved on, then gets gaslighted by mohan 2.0 (cough sabal cough), then steals bhadra's doomed by the narrative kyrati girl aesthetic word for word, bar for bar.

Hello everyone. I have no idea how to start this post, but I want to start it as upfront as possible.

TLDR: My uncles shipped my sick grandmother to my home, and they called me to tell me only after she had already landed... when her visa was expiring very soon. And so obviously 1. My job was to keep her alive, and 2. I had to scrounge up money to send her to her home. It has been a very few stressful months. 

In between this, I hit a slump with writing, and felt very burnt out, as I had no time for it between work, trying to keep my grandmother alive, my own health, and my own business. I wish I could say I worked on Thrill Seeker in this time, but I simply couldn’t. I think a huge part of what was so daunting for me was only having myself to rely on and set the schedules, and in a way it came to be that there were lengths of time nothing could get done because there was simply no time in my life to do it. 

This is not meant to be an excuse as to why I was away from the blog for so long. It is simply what made me realize that I cannot continue alone on this project, as I would then be taunted by how much I would have to do that I would end up not being able to do anything at all. 

I was discussing this project with a friend of mine who has been beside me since I started this project, who I know shares my passion in making games, and who has rooted for me from the beginning. While I’m more interested in the storytelling, she’s incredibly fascinated with coding. During this time, we discussed perhaps making a game together-- but recently we got the opportunity to make that into a reality. 

Thrill Seeker is not ending, but rather, it will be changing format. I am so happy to say my incredible friend, Kismet (@kismet-dev), is going to be joining me to reform Thrill Seeker into a Visual Novel! She is one of my best friends and is the most organized person I know, so no more falling off the face of the Earth for me, because I’ve put a lot more planning into the game and now have someone to hold me to my schedules, too!

I understand that it could be disappointing to hear that I’m switching from an entirely text based format to a VN style. I apologize to anyone who is disappointed by this change. It’s been amazing the support I’ve gotten for this game and how many people have stuck to the project, even when I’ve been so flaky, and I want to thank you for sticking to the project when I haven’t been the most reliable developer. I am so grateful for your kindness to me, for all the people who have sent asks and been interested in my characters and story.

When I first created this project, it was just not a viable option for me to make a visual novel, as there would’ve been no chance I had the opportunity to create art, write, and code it. But creating the art for the game inspired me more than when I only had words to go off of, and many different concepts for the game that I had in mind were simply harder for me to make into reality on twine. Thanks to the absolute angel that is my friend Kismet, I will actually be able to create the vision for the game that I’ve seen in my head for the longest time. She’s an excellent programmer and such a wonderfully organized and hard worker, and I know that I wouldn’t have anyone else by my side as we begin to make games together. 

I will be making some changes to this blog as I make it more cohesive for the VN, but I will also use it as an opportunity to organize this blog for those who are interested in knowing more about the characters, settings, etc. It’s a little unorganized and hard to find certain questions, and I’ll do my best to fix that! Note that this will mean that changes are coming to the characters, and pretty major ones. I know that many of the asks I answered in the past will no longer apply to the story as I’ve changed it, so I will be reforming it quite a lot. However, what will not change is the characters themselves; they will still be gender selectable, and their personalities will still remain similar; but I feel like some of my characterization of them has been shallow, and I’m going to be fixing that. 

The launch of the game as a visual novel, with the first chapter, will be coming in August. Thank you so much for reading all this and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!!

[strawberrytalia]

me when i see people calling duke super observant and citing his photokinetic powers as a way to show how he’s always looking from afar and observing people, as if his character doesn’t revolve around impulsivity, taking action and stepping up when others don’t and putting the weight of the world on his shoulders, as if he’s not a huge adrenaline junkie, as if he’s destined to just be the quiet observant guy

The Yellow Teddy Bears (AKA Gutter Girls) | Robert Hartford-Davis | 1963

Although sometimes promoted as a schoolgirls-gone-wild exploitation movie The Yellow Teddy Bears (AKA Gutter Girls, AKA Thrill Seekers) is actually a rather earnest social (melo)drama.

A clique of girls at an English grammar school have taken to wearing yellow teddy bear brooches as a secret sign that they've lost their virginity. Good girl Pat (Georgina Patterson) tries to save her girl-in-trouble pal Linda (Annette Whiteley) from making a terrible mistake, predatory abortion fixer June Wilson (Jill Adams) lures girls to her drinks and sex parties, while young teacher Anne Mason (Jacqueline Ellis), who has discovered the secret of the teddy bears, finds her impassioned pleas for some honest communication acreoss the generational divides between teens, teachers, and parents, only serve to bring her own morals and suitability as a teacher into question.

It's a bit dated now but it's subject matter must have been pretty frank in 1963, and it's "message" pretty progressive for the time. Apparently The Beatles were offered a part in the film but gave it a swerve.

I am sorry to all my Rivals to Lovers… uh…. lovers… but Hannie is no longer gonna be a childhood rival. I just realized how strange it would for your childhood rival to like… come to your mom’s funeral… and yeah after I thought about it for five minutes I realized it was so strange and out of place it would be better to not include that at all 😭😭 

Instead they’ll still come from a family of famous lawyers that own the biggest law firm in the Province. And MC will only recall seeing their face on billboards around the province as they come back from college, and then recall that they went to the same private school briefly when MC had the money to go to a private school for a year. But Hannie and MC wouldn’t have had much interaction. 

The reason Hannie was at the funeral is because they helped with the drafting of your mother’s will a while back, and will be helping you with the legal process. They’re a defense attorney by trade, but also know a bunch about estate administration.

But once again… I am so sorry to everyone I have disappointed by removing a rivals to lovers 😭😭😭 I’m so sorry. It was just too strange to me 😭😭😭
