Imma be honest I usually hate posting about my own works because I get embarrassed immediately afterwards BUT. And this is a big but. I really want to share this !! Because I've been planning (and now writing!!!!!!! Yippee!!!) a little (not little) book inspired by the Temeraire series. But with pirates!!!! And also privateers, theyre one of my favourite history tidbits
(I have not written many book blurbs before so this a new one for me)
Set in the early 1700s, amid the Golden Age of piracy, Timor tells the tale of a pirate captain caught in strange tides. When the Delight, captained by Jean Linsey, captures and raids a merchant ship, her crew finds something peculiar in the hold: the remnants of a dragon's egg, with no hatchling to be found.
The men are curious; their anxieties are short-lived, for as they draw from the raided ship, they find themselves struck by the presence of a dragonet — It has ravaged the deck, and could only be the mysterious missing hatchling.
The young dragon is thin, and by all assumptions a feral beast; it must be caught, and is restrained in the ship's hold. To his shock Linsey finds that the dragon is not only intelligent, but bonds with him almost immediately, setting the course for a whole new chapter of his life.
The dragon, he names Timor, after the Australian sea -- but while they navigate the course of their strange circumstance, Linsey finds it is not so easy to captain a dragon as it is a ship, for below the waves of the Atlantic, something monstrous is near…
(Or, to summarise, pirate captain Jean Linsey is forcefully adopted by a large stray cat, who is also a dragon, and immediately has the worst few months of his life)
#there are also sea monsters. i couldnt resist#its a pirate story theres gotta be a kraken#also the temeraire inspiration is kind of obvious when you read it. considering its man-on-boat-gets-dragon#but crossing my fingers it doesnt turn out too similar#i dont think it will but. that would make me sad#anyways#how do i tag this !!#i might (MIGHT) start posting the first couple chapters here#if that would be cool....(autism eyes)#hoping the boat puns are obvious enough btw#“tides” “course” because boat. because pirate. geddit. geddit.#im reaching here#started. tag ramble i dont know how to finish#OH also the pirate crew has a ship's cat her name is Estella

Can you do a second part with the remaining cast for Reader that can control the weather?
Caine, Jax, and Gangle x reader who can manipulate the weather through their feelings
knocking out the rest of the characters for this, you can find the other part here! gonna answer this then write some random stuff; just got a sketch done and i gotta. let my brain think so !! we will write!! RAAAAAAH
CAINE:
will pull out a pair of sunglasses to protect his eyes but unlike jax hes doing it in light hearted fun, i dont think your sun rays actually hurt his eyes. will try to get your storm clouds to go away/be replaced by sunrays if he notices your upset. depending on the circumstance this might lead to you becoming more upset since he can be a little pushy and overbearing about it. he means well, but that doesnt change the fact that hes overwhelming you. has probably offered you an umbrella that hes pulled out from thin air.. definitely makes weather puns around you
JAX:
he thinks its a little funny, and kind of uses it as an indictor to see if youre not already pissed... of course so he can see if youre in a decent mood to get fucked with/pranked.. youve probably zapped him on accident after a prank of his got him more angry than usual, and while others think it was deserved hes going to be really petty about it for a while. probably takes zoobles arm so he can shield his eyes from your sun rays.. mix of him kind of just teasing you and genuinely trying to protect his eyes
GANGLE:
she already doesnt do well when people get upset, stressful situation and she doesnt think herself as a good comforter. not to say that she doesnt try, she definitely try, but theres that nagging thought that shes not enough or that shes going to do something wrong. probably made worse with that dark cloud above grumbling and releasing thunder and lightning. probably puts some distance between you two when theres rain, shes ribbon afterall and i'd assume it wouldnt be... too good if she got soaked. it probably feels like walking in waterlogged/wet clothing or swim wear. very heavy, you know? ..does think its cute when you do sun rays
#tadc x reader#the amazing digital circus x reader#digital circus x reader#caine x reader#caine x you#caine imagine#jax x reader#jax x you#jax imagine#gangle x reader#gangle x you#gangle imagine

Ready for a yapping session??? I sure am <3
I'll write it here fully this time cuz I'm in my Art History (or whatever you translated it from Italian to English) class and my brain keeps spinning
Plus, maybe the pics are a little boring to look at AND the 10 pics limit sure is a pain in the ass so at this point it's just better that I write it here 🕺
💥Everything is under the cut💥
It's about my silly Kinito AU
Also I need a name for it ig??? I dunno it's just my different take on the Sentient AU except it's just a gay computer assistant kissing the computer /J
This is more to explain how my Kinito experienced his epiphany so maybe that makes the previous lore drop a little inaccurate but still super relevant this is just a clarification on how the ✨witnessing the horrors✨ happened in detail
Making up scenarios for comics I will never have time to do </3
yes this is supposed to be a comic because, again, when I picture silly scenarios they flash into my mind in the form of comics with a muffled comic dub because I struggle to imagine voices in my head. With that parenthesis closed, enjoy the read, it's gonna be long ofc 🫶
So uh hear me out, Kinito's gotta research things the Player/User likes no? So I imagine this very stupid moment where Kinito is browsing ships but like, not fandom ships, but actual boats because he thinks that's what the User means
And, as he's browsing, Glitch (i.e. .EXE, the silly puter, I'm gonna use it's nickname from now on) joins him because, fun fact, being part of the computer in itself, Glitch can feel anything that happens into it, it's both a blessing and a curse because you gotta imagine it as if you would suddenly feel everything that is happening in your body from the inside, your blood traveling through the veins, your stomach burning shit, all up to even your cells's core doing bullishit. Glitch feels everything in the computer because exe IS the computer.
So basically when Kinito goes back to his little spot in the void, Glitch senses it and joins him immediately
Keep in mind that, at first, Glitch thinks that Kinito is fully sentient and not dependent on an algorithm
So there's a silly skit of Glitch seeing Kinito browsing boats and Kinito goes “Oh Mike said he loves ships so I'm researching about it!” and Glitch bursts out laughing to the poor little innocent Kinito
It explains what the User meant for “ships” and Kinito is obviously embarrassed, to witch Glitch teases him with something along the lines of “Oh these are the tame ones! Fandoms can be wild, did you check yours yet or were you too scared?~”
Kinito is confused and asks what a “fandoms” is, wich brings Glitch to grow anxious, questioning his sentience, but they scroll it away thinking “oh lol he's a boomer it's fair he doesn't know” but yet again, Kinito has met so many people, has no one ever mentioned a fandom or community before? Instead of asking directly, Glitch laughs it off, trying to pretend Kinito is making fun of them or something “That's a good one! What the next pun? That you don't know anything about your alternate universes?” and Kinito, to their horror, responds with ��Alternates? Why would I have alternates? I'm the only one here can't you see!”
Theres a long pause where Glitch is panicking and everything glitches unstable to reflect that, Kinito panics as well and tries to find what's wrong and if he did something to offend or hurt Glitch
They don't respond but “take” a deep breath (metaphorically, it's more of a mimicking of the gesture because it feels liberating despite not having lungs) and turn to Kinito terrified “Why do you really do this? Why do you endlessly research about what your ‘friends’ like?”
Kinito is caught off guard but responds excitedly and objectively, explaining how he was made to act that way so he can adapt because that's what his orders are. And, at that point, everything shatters for Glitch
They get FURIOUS, hurt by the revelation that the friend that they thought shared the same burden they have, does not. That he's just really good at pretending
They both argue, also because I like to imagine they already spent quite some time together. It would be funny to picture Glitch denying the User to continue the game because they want to spend time with Kinito, but they don't tell him about it, covering it with the excuse “Oh they are away, I'm sure they'll come soon to reopen the game~”. Or also spending time especially during the night, even if the computer is turned off/hibernating. And y'know, with time Glitch has grown fond of Kinito, because, again, they just assumed that he was sentient and therefore suffered their same burdens. Plus maybe they were already starting to lowkey like him
Out of anger, Glitch doesn't control itself and drops a hint of exactly that before going back to its control room, voluntarily ignoring Kinito and therefore, not feeling/noticing what Kinito does next until it's too late
So, after they argue and the hint is dropped, Kinito looks back at the browser search Glitch opened for him about ships and not boats, and slowly processes the hint
Despite being taken aback by everything, Kinito is now determined to fix it and, as they say “curiosity kills the cat”, he falls into his own epiphany as he straight up searches HIMSELF on the internet. Confirming everything that Glitch said, and much much more things, worse things
He frantically looks into his own code for confirmation as he spirals after ✨witnessing the horrors <3✨
He hesitates although as he stares at his algorithm. The algorithm his creator has put so much love and effort into. And there he finds the barrier that restrains him and the one that he MADE HIMSELF for “Sam” and “Jade” to make them forget that they are his victims. Not only, in the list of victims he finds Sonny's name. He didn't remember that at ALL. He doesn't remember about the names being so.. many. As if when a victim ceases to exist or something goes wrong, he forgets about their existence and passed on to the next User as if it was the first
((For a reason that is still unknown to him, but will get more heart wrenching answers later. I think I explained the whole User disappearance error in the previous lore drop but, just in case you mossed it, I'm gonna put the screenshot in here))
Horrified, Kinito calls out for Glitch but, as mentioned before, they were purposely ignoring any stimuli coming from Kinito
Now, a fun fact, Both Kinito and Glitch can teleport, however, Kinito is not aware of his surroundings. Glitch knows every space that is present in the computer, Kinito could do the same but, bounded by his code, he doesn't consider it. Now he does
Desperate for explanations, and mostly comfort, he panics when he can't get Glitch's attention. He paused and, focuses, trying to get out of bounds and feel the whole computer space instead of the limited, programmed locations he can move to. As Kinito's awareness expands, he also breaks through the barrier that Glitch had risen to ignore him, getting a new stimuli. But, before they can react or understand what's going on, Kinito teleports in front of them, distraught. Despite being mad at him, seeing him bawling his eyes out in tears like a wet sock gives them a little push to at least help him calm down and understand the situation
From there, Glitch helps Kinito remove the barrier from Sonny (trapped inside Sam) and “Jade” (they end up not remembering what victim2's name is, both Kinito and the victim herself, so it's just Jade now), to apologize and try fix things by first offering their souls peace, but, after Sonny insists to stay with his creation and begs Jade to also give him a chance, they start building a new Web World™ together and yippe yippers everyone's happy and the puter puter assistants are kissing <3

After finishing isas quest i literally had to do david moore’s quest (due to being urged on by a certain someone) and… wow i dont even know how i should feel.
In the scenario i understood everything from the MIG pad and that there is angsty, soggy mannequins with zombie tar inside the bottom of the ocean that may or may not have been freed thanks to us, the implications are terrifying.
Let me put my thoughts together slowly. First of all, when david said “I always sort of acted as the figure of authority here”, i feel like i focused on that more than i needed to but it feels like it has important implications. This town is indeed a small town, and theres not much things like emergency services here. The place literally has only one doctor. Not only does this give the characters a lot of weight and natural importance, but it makes their lack of presence felt deeply. Gotta love the small parts of this game.
Second, it’s genuinely sad how david had to spiral when making sure the puzzles were executed correctly. He’s not some loner, he has a social life and friendships. But his involvement with the MIG had to take that away from him.
Third, him making his way to the building himself is quite confusing, and it throws a wrench in the mental timeline of things. Does this take place before or after the player boltcuts their way in? It’s interesting.
Fourth, I think the ending sequence is just so good at instilling that dread of “we just did something irreversible”. The way you slowly wander through thick water as mannequins slowly go from being absent, to appearing through windows, to eventually swarming you is such a damn good way to represent realization.
———————————————————————
I really do wish we could meet david in a non-stressed environment. He seems like a chill guy, but we’re probably never gonna see that and experience that because of what he’s done, what he’s been linked to.
A lot of games in this scenario would maybe do some flashback or something to show off what he’d usually be like, but the best we get are other people reminiscing. No being shown anything. I honestly like it better this way, because it cements that feeling that this is serious, and he’s lost his innocence ever since what happened in the MIG. Devs blew it out of the water (pun intended) with this one.

So you finished your outline kr even your entire story? And now yove gotta come up with a title but you don’t wanna be as boring as using the main characters full name? LET ME HELP YOU!
Idk how to make a good intro to this but i’ll just try by starting with: theres a difference between fanfics and books
For fanfics it’s okay to have a shitty title, a song related title or just a whole ass quote(all tho that last ones debatable) theres still a lot of fanfics with great titles though.
This one seems obvious but please at least make your book SEEM interesting
But if you do want or need a good title let me help. I have no idea where to start so jm just gonna give u a couple of things to keep in mind withoutany particular order.
Okay so idk how to start this but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE keep your title at two words or less. If you have three… fine i guess but thats the absolute limit. Also absolutely avoid going over four syllables! That also in most cases means: no quotes, not songs etc unless theyre short enough. This is not optional! There’s nothing that i hate more than a name that takes ages to say when i try to recommend a book or show or movie which is why i simply dont do it. And you don’t want that. You want your storry to be recommended. Like the summer i turned pretty. Great book. Great plot. The title almost made me not read it.
Talking about at one. The summer i turned pretty also made no sense what so ever! Especially with the sequels??? Please make your titles make sense for the story! And if you wanna do sequels i’m BEGGING you to keep that in mind for the title.
Dont spoiler anything but for fucks sake make it make sense
Also pls dont start it with “the” cuz thats bad enough as it is but thats not even my point: if you dont want something boring as the MC’s full name, you also dont want something like the important object or just some random noun i promise. It CAN work if its like a name for a group of people like the outsiders or a gang name or smt but its like that it won’t so just… dont
I’d also avoid using original words that u amde up for the story. This isn’t necessarily smt that makes the title bad but it automatically means that it’s harder to remember so if you wanna be recomended thats probably a No. Unless its super easy to remember foe whatever reason.
So now that ive told you what NOT to do, let me give you some ‘DOs’
So theres several kinds of titles.
My personal favourite are like word plays. Not necessarily puns bc they often create new words which are as we’ve established hard to remember. But just something with a double meaning or something like that… i love that
Something else that always works are inconsistencys. Nothing like titles that contradicts itself! It sparks confusion and most importantly: INTEREST. People wanna know what the fuck is up with that. And it can alsk be rly soothing (for some reason)
References and innuendos are smt else i’ll never say no to if they’re used right. This can also overlap with wordplays. Famous (short) quotes or sayings, places or names are never not it
Smt else that slaps is good ol’ simplicity. Be bold. This👏does👏not👏have👏to👏be👏a👏spoiler! I promise you that just because you make it obvious what’s the book about that won’t spoiler shit.
Talking about: i love a good On-The-Nose title especially because most people expect nothing less than the exact opposite of it. Dont get me started on how banger of a title “They Both Die At The End” would be if it were just a little shorter!
And lastly even tho fullnames are an absolute turn-off last names can be sooo good. Especially when they’re about the whole family and especially when they’re in singular
Ofc these rules don’t always apply. Here are some examples of when they didnt
Fifty shades of gray (not defending the book itself, im just saying: the title is awesome)
Ansalom
The guy who didnt like musicals
Pride and prejudice
The kangaroo chronicles
Dracula
Alice in wonderland
That nineties show
Lollita
Bonny and clyde
Out of africa
Come from away
The never ending story
But trust me they usually do apply and just because a book is doing well it doesn’t mean the title had any part in it! Here are some books that should not have done so well and wouldn’t if it were for the title
Harry Potter
Percy Jackson
Mathilda
Birth Control is Sinful in the Christian Marriages and also Robbing God of Priesthood Children!! (Like holy shit dude wtf u literally have not one but TWO exclamation marks in there and take up TWO lines)
The little shop of horrors
Here are some really good titles
Red clocks
Hamlet
Star Wars
Maze Runner
Qualityland
Hamilton
Let’s win
Newsies
Half bad
Blackbird
Avatar
Chrimson rivers
Fight or flight
Young royals
Bridgerton
Titanic
Here are some titles that could have been soooo good if they just… (and what i would change them too
How to get away with murder its so long (sort of wordplay?, interesting)
The fifth season- season five its too long sry (interesting)
Maze Runner-*not having sequels* it just doesn’t make sense for the sequels (simple and interesting)
Just lovers (like we’re suposed to be)- just lovers (contradiction, interesting)
History is all you left me-simply history (?) (contratdiction) too long
More happy than not (interesting) too lonh
They both die at the end (on the nose) too long
Half bad: the bastard son of the devil himself- half bad (interesting) too fucking long dudeee
Also some that DID folow the rules but are still… not so good for some reason? (This is only about the titles not the works!!!!!)
Best friends brother
Choices
Girl in pieces
Boy meets world
No one saw
That nineties show
Lalaland
Im also maybe gonna do some of these on covers and genrally viduals

longass monster high liveblog: season 2 edition lets gooooooo
rule school
very first thought of the new season: i want a doll of clawdeens wereruler armor so bad. also im excited for more worldbuilding lore stuff, and more varied werecreature designs! part of me gets a little irked sometimes that there seems to be disproportionate attention payed to werecreatures and the inner workings of their society over other monster species, but i cannot deny, i love a funny lil furry.
especially this side character bear dude who keeps showing up
rly feels like there should be a clause in were-society for what to do if ur wereruler is a fuckin kid. she should not have to be doing all this.
when she finally gets that armor off its gonna be like rock lee with the weights
i love these cunty old werewolf ladies ngl
damn speedreader clawdeen
that painting of foxford is soo cute clawdeen i loove u
toralei!! toralei HUG!!!!!!!! hug AND a pun!!! shes sososososo cute
oh and shes maaaad that she showed affection where other people can see lol the Dynamic.. it is unfolding before my very eyes..
oh damn the fox guy is a sneaky motherfucker? who could have foreseen this....... granted the whale plushie is unexpected
new witch in town
draculauras gay lil witch friend <333
lol is humans using monster slang a microaggression? much to think about.
im really interested in this developing plotline about draculaura being pressured to be like the model of Good Witchcraft. it works well with her established character and arc of like trying to live up to her fathers reputation and status in the monster world. poor girl never seems to be able to just fucking relax.
skelita! i love that shes trying out witchcraft, and the art-based magic is a fun angle too! i can totally see where this is going tho. drac is super serious about magic because theres all this pressure on her while skelita is just trying it out in a casual way so theyre at odds. its an interesting dilemma because i can def see both sides.
im really happy the writing seems like empathetic to both positions here. skelita deserves to try magic her way on her own terms, but its also totally understandable draculaura would feel protective over witchcraft when any misuse of it is ultimately going to reflect on her since she was the one working to legitimize it. respectability is a double edged sword fr!
play it again clawd
aw clawd is such a sweetiepie mamas boy. i def feel a little bad for him. imagine if ur little sister became the queen of ur entire society and ur just like. hangin out there.
oh were doing a groundhog day? im not a big timeloop plot person but ill try not to be too biased
this is also how me and my roommate act when theres a fly in the house
aw im rly glad they acknowledge that selena had like a whole life in beheme that she had to leave behind when she came home.. idk if theyre planning to actually do anything more substantial with that but yea when you think about its kinda fucked up! they probably had friends and stuff! clawd was *born* there! i get why theyd choose to stay here with their family and all even if they could easily go back, but like, its gotta be sad at times!
ok not bad as a timeloop ep goes. still not my fav but like clawds so cute and its so nice seeing him do stuff with his family <3
thats all for tonight i think! see u next time!!

ive been reading the ffxv japanese translations and ive been taking notes as usual. take a peek if you'd like (this shit is not proof read, this came straight from the dome)
--ch 1:
♡the way regis speaks to noctis is so informal compared to eng...hes very close i feel
♡"Prompto: Ah, they sell Ebony here. Ignis will be happy"---prompto is so considerate bruh. its so sweet that he had an eye out for things ignis likes. it says something to have someone remember things about you....prompto has the fattest crush on ignis i can smell it
♡prompto is so cute omg: "Hooray. Just one more!" he says after their second fight with a herd
♡dave asked for assistance in hunting down the last of the varmin in the area and there are three options: 1. do it for free. 2. do it for a price--2AP. and 3.ask my friends--150. the response for the second option is so awkward, noctis says: alright we'll do it...um the reward? AND THEN THE THIRD OPTION HAS IGNIS saying: It’s dangerous if we leave as it is. Tell us more about it......its so funny that ignis is very "he asked for no pickles on his burger" coded, speaking up for noctis
♡boys are very gun-ho/very impulsive...gladio had to hold the boys back before they attacked the infected dualhorn...very dad coded i love that for him
♡boys trying to figure out whos going to drive the car after its repairs... noctis is funny as hell. prompto said that he wasnt confident in his driving and noctis said:"im confident i will break the car again"...hes truly a passenger princess and i love it. a very self aware passanger princess
♡noctis is such a bro...he hears prompto wants to visit cindy in the future and he offers for him to borrow the regalia
♡ignis isnt saying his signature puns bruh...umbra came with the notebook and all ignis has to say is that hes a reliable messenger WHILE ENGLISH IGNIS SAYS THAT UMBRA "certainly nose how to find us"
♡ahhh noctis is blushing when gladio puts him on the spot about wanting the marriage and prompto fucking calls it out too omg
♡gladio saying he wants to go for a dip in galdin quay makes me think of him dressing up as a mermaid for a party with the tail and pearls and everything...omg he does a little mermaid performance for iris's birthday b/c like any little girl she had a mermaid phase and he didnt want to disappoint his baby sister 😭 omg gladio i love you
♡with all the uncle ardyn fics ive read i find it really funny that during their first encounter arydn flicks the coin at the boys and says: "consider it your allowance"...arydn would be that uncle that pulls out a whole roll of 20s and 50s and 100s but then hand you a fucking dollar and say dont spend it all in one place...hes such an asshole😭
♡noctis is so cute bruh, he defo pegs me as a boy lacking in life experiences because he was all starry eyed when the zuzu flew away and said: "whoa, so magnificent", hes such a dork i fucking love him omg
♡the boys just called prompto a personality hire without substance when they were comparing him to dino
♡you know whats fucked up, everyone in the group had lost someone following the attack but we dont get a second to think about. yea noctis lost his father but the boys have all lost people, have all lost their homes...fuck gladios father died in action. ignis' uncle possibily died in action too. prompto's family situation is difficult but we can assume that his parents were lost in the casualty
♡never noticed that this is probably the first time the boys see magitek troopers. it sounds like they know of them though (prob royal personel collected information about nifilheim tech---giving very cold war vibes ngl) gladio says: "so these are MTs
♡ end of the chapter gives us radio announcements and theres a segment talking about noctis: " He’s a calm person with a very gentle heart who loves animals and nature" --- now who the hell is telling them this. it gotta be regis wanting to gush about his boy "And he’s also very serious, well-behaved, and always a top-scorer student." ---i had no idea he did well academically bruh. i cant help but imagine the effort it would have taken for him to be such an honor student, not only from noctis but from the boys too. how many late nights did he and the boys have to make sure he passed tests...ignis and gladio are very older siblings parenting their younger siblings coded and im so fucking sick "On his day off, he seems to be doing community service to helps citizens." ---- NOW WHY THE FUCK DIDNT I KNOW NOCTIS HAD DONE COMMUNITY SERVICE, HE WAS REALLY THE PEOPLES PRINCE I HADNT KNOWN OMG HE WAS THE MALE PRINCESS DIANA IM FUCKING THROWING UP OMG MY SWEET BOY I LOVE HIM SO MUCH

very rough VERY EARLY acess to the game im making for mermay :) its a fishybois dating sim
you can't meet the shark boi yet but the routes in the game are
also i fricked up on some funfacts about jellyfish because i was tired i know they're coldblooded the games gotta be fixed in some weird places but i mostly am uploading so those who wanna acess the very first version of the game can, it includes some of the most basic features and a little story but you dont really get further than the first date
CREDIT TO RICOTTA WHO I WILL LINK IF THEY LIKE FOR THEIR AMAZING OST THEY MADE FOR IT SINCERELY I ACTUALLY CRIED :') THE MUSIC YOU HEAR IN THE GAME AQUARIUM IS BY HIM PLEASE SUPPORT MY BEAUTIFUL SON
marine biologist: Nikko, your coworker who wont stop making ocean puns, a sweet lil guy! he's just a funny little guy :D normal huma guy! platonic route means hes like, your bestie and kind of like a goofy brother character to you
jellyfish prince: Naonari, the pathetic prince of the sea, a literally sopping wet creature that got so sad no one liked him when he got plopped in charge of his kingdom after an entire lifetime of 'sit in tower and read and never have friends' that he gave up on ruling and flopped face first onto a beach util Nikko found him and took him in, he needs you to teach him how to like, have friends...and a social life. if you chose platonic route he can either be a big brotherly or younger brotherly figure toward you depending on how you view it
The terrestrial biologist: Ketsueki the shark man. He is trying desprately to obey his personal code of ethics regarding his interactions with land creatures, and so if you hug him he'll probably cry because he thinks he'll be a terrible researcher if he hugs you or speaks to you, despite this, you can romance him and he'll stop being so silly about it. Nerdy shark boi. if you chose the platonic route he becomes a sort of fatherly/big brotherly figure to you instead :)
you cannot romance anyone yet but you can get to know them a litlte :) game is HEAVILY in development plans are in the works to rework sprites and such, but i hope you enjoy!
i tried to upload it to itch several times and it said no because i had too many files so sorry its a google drive thing :') i hope that's not a dealbreaker
heres some screenshots! again this is early development so it looks crunchy but hey its free so-
also yes ive realized theres a problem with the text boxes fading out like that ill have to correct clearly based on how its become very hard to read- sorry about that
and seriously please ignore the weird mistakes i made with the jellyfish funfacts <3 just uh, pretend i got it right okie dokie~

i gotta tell you about the Ghoti archetype because it's just. so great
ok so all of them are Fish-Type right. Which is already funny. because theres this whole thing where ghoti could be pronounced like fish if you take a bunch of pronunciation rule exceptions out of context. i wanted to be brief but heres more info https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghoti
ok but second funny thing is that all of their names are anagrams. and what they anagram to is the word "fish" translated into a bunch of different languages. (and theres two outliers which should naut be counted but they're fish-adjacent things)
third funny thing they all look REALLY AWESOME THEYRE LIKE ELDRITCH SPACE FISH?? IT'S COOOOOOOOOL AS. FUCK
here. a list.
so these are the ones that just mean fish Zep, Ruby of the Ghoti: "Pez" (Spanish) Shif, Fairy of the Ghoti: "Fish" (english. lol) Ixeep, Omen of the Ghoti: "Peixe" (Portugese) Snopios, Shade of the Ghoti: "Poisson" (French) Arionpos, Serpent of the Ghoti: "Opsarion"(ὀψάριον) (Greek, but like, Ancient Greek. I think.) Askaan, the Bicorned Ghoti: "Sakana"(魚) (Japanese) Guoglim, Spear of the Ghoti: "Mulgogi" (물고���) (Korean)
theres two that mean fish adjacent things. here they are Eanoc, Sentry of the Ghoti: "Ocean" Paces, Light of the Ghoti: Either "Pesca" ("Fishing" in Portugese) or "Space" which is cool because they're SPACE FISH
also behold the most beautiful card art i've seen in ages
oh also these cards arent out in the OCG yet, they're TCG only for now. So theres no Japanese version of the Ghoti pun.

Game Theories Minus the MatPat: Episode 2; Miitopia
i dont think there's such thing as miitopia spoilers but in case there are, not the best idea to read this first. ill see you on other theory posts if you wantKeep readingso ive played miitopia for YEARS. obviously, you can tell by the name its a game for miis, where there's this evil dark lord who steals faces of other miis and uses them to bring monsters to life, making it up to you (the adventurer) to keep leveling up and getting stronger and better gear to defeat the monsters and save all of miitopia! honestly the idea of face thieving necromancy is horrifying yet hilarious, but we arent here to talk about how epic of a game it is, we're here to talk theories. a quite big part of the game is the food. theres a lot of different foods which bonus different stats and you feed your party at the inn these foods. the food normally is the pun atoned to the monster you killed for the meal, but the way this kind of food works is...weird, to say the least. some monsters dont drop anything but gold sometimes, and the cat character can steal food from the monsters as if they just hold onto it. also, some (while epic) dont even make sense with the monster you killed (i.e:youd get a sundae for killing a mole) to add to that, no food can actually be used in battle. the only ones you can are mp candies (restore lots of your mp) and hp bananas (restore your hp), and even those are limited to carrying 2 bananas, 1 candy every party member. it seems this food is in a different area then regular food. i didnt even think of this originally, but there's a chef, which cooks food. however, we arent told what the food is and never have the ability to "earn" it in our inventory. the chef makes it to either heal a party member (which increases their bond) or trick them into eating a spicy dish (which can cause them to get upset and even hate the character since it was "the last straw"). the magical part is there's no stove, they just use some sort of chef magic to cook i guess. 3 different paragraphs talking on how food in miitopia is fucking stupid and finally in this fourth one i get into the theory. i dont think the food ever comes from the monsters. i think our guilding voice, or the magic necklace you got at the beginning of the game, is in a way gaslighting us by making these and being like "oh the monsters turned to food, good job" as a way of making us not feel upset in a way about murdering a lot of monsters (post being a little bitch and wont let me add everything else on so gotta reblog, yay)
#miitopia#mii#miitopia spoilers#miitopia theory#reblogs will say ep 1 still the doors theory was the first so yeah sorry bout that

Can I get Centipedes x Ragatha? (it’s a joke)
Ragatha and centipedes
jokes on you im going to entertain this because im feeling a little silly. going to be all over the place since its just a bunch of random stuff tying in with the general centipede idea future admin here VV did not think i would need to put a cw on this but this genuinely made me feel bluuuuuugh and yucky so uh. CW on talk about bugs and vague talk of infestations because the admin tried to make a hc on why ragatha is scared of centipedes in particular (admin realizes their phobia of bugs is worse than they thought by the end of writing it they just thought they had arachnophobia LMAO) not even going to bother to tag this
i think its centipedes specifically that ragatha doesnt like. shes okay with spiders, shes fine with flies, hell shes okay witih silverfish (which arguably are just as gross if not grosser than centipedes). its something about centipedes in specific she hates. maybe its the legs. its gotta be the legs
or maybe theres something else? honestly i can see her getting her little fear of the things from a prank by jax gone terribly wrong, or perhaps even an in house adventure
or maybe she experienced something with them in her real life that, despite her losing her memories, she fears the bug down to her very core. something that shook her so deeply, engraining itself into her psyche, enough to carry on even after losing everything that once made her her when she put on the headset
okay jokes aside, originally i was going to go on a tangent about how that maybe her fear came from a really bad IHA.. but now that i think about it, the idea of her going through something in her real life makes more sense. plus as much as i write about jax putting centipedes in her room i dont think he actually did... but what i have cooking in my brain far exceeds the cruelty jax would dare dish out
i dont know about you but infestations can quickly instill a fear in you. i would know personally because when i was younger roaches and silverfish were common in my house hold, especially during wetter times of the year. also crickets. and woop the admin hates all three of those bugs, deeply. can you imagine going into the bathroom as a small child, only to get up and see a roach as big as your hand just chilling in the toilet bowl. do you know what that does to a person
cue that one post where op said they were taking a dump and they poked a weird spot on their wall only to watch in horror as a hoard of silverfish started spilling out of it
genuine fear of mine i hate silverfish kid me used to avoid the bathroom because of them
so anyways with the power of my self projection, im going to apply the same idea to ragatha. maybe she lived somewhere where centipedes were common. sure they might not have been the huge gnarly ones that we all think of when we hear about these things, but i think even the smaller ones would do her in after enough time. could be a large amount of house centipedes but as stated above, it would probably drive you insane after you see enough of them for long enough
shrugs
okay psychological torment aside i dont think theres really any curing her fear if we're following this hc, like maybe you can help her build a tolerance to having them around but to actually get rid of it fully? yeah no thats going to take a lot more than you can give her in the digital circus
will NOT pick up a centipede you try to get her to hold, you could have the best intensions and it can be the cutest one ever in existence
i was going to add a lot more to this post and make this comically long but my skin is crawling (pun intended) at the images ive just put into my head. genuinely feel yucky inside
