#they'd better anyway

[victorluvsalice]

-->And while all that clean up was happening, who should stop by but Victor’s buddy Felipe! Who, of course, was immediately set upon by specters the minute he knocked on the front door. *shakehead* Haunted houses, man… I was originally going to just ignore him and have Alice try to appease the specters to get them out of the way – but while I was looking through potential gifts to give the annoying little blobs, I realized that Alice still had the painting Felipe made on the front porch on one of his previous visits. So I had Alice greet him, and – after dealing with being specter sprinkled herself – chat with him a little bit to become friends. I took the opportunity for her to tell him about being a werewolf and do some werewolf diplomacy to make him an ally (that way he won’t be unnecessarily spooked if he comes across her in werewolf form – always a benefit), then found the option to give him a friendly gift –

Aaaand for some reason his painting wasn’t listed as an option. One of HERS was, but not his. O.o Oookay then, game… I shrugged, went “at least I got him to be a werewolf ally,” and had Alice send him on his way. Guess some specter will be getting that painting at some point!

-->And then I looked over at the cow paddock again and saw that poor Moory needed a brush. Yet again. XD I had Alice head over there to clean her off while Smiler – who’d just gotten to Wellness 7 from their latest yoga practice, nice – got sent downstairs to sort all the recyclables out of the trash. Alice finished with Moory and moved onto the chickens, collecting the eggs and spreading feed for them –

Just in time for Marm to FINALLY wake back up from his charging! Seriously, that took him AGES! O.o Maybe because he’s Lazy, he recharges slower – which, uh, is annoying. *shakehead* Anyway, I had him hit the chessboard again, and had Victor (who had gotten bored with his alchemical experimentation and was going off to dance to Smiler’s radio) join him so they could bond. (I also took a moment to test out the new “adjust Likes/Dislikes in Live Mode” mod from Lumpinou I got to fix Marm’s preferences so he LIKES Funny Sims instead of disliking them – because, really. He was made by SMILER. Works like a charm! :D) They got along well, and Marm was even able to fulfill one of the holiday traditions by being thankful with him. :) I was very pleased indeed –

-->And then I looked outside and saw Alice showering in the rain again as another thunderstorm came through. *sigh* I let her finish up (as she was just a tiny bit stinky), then sent her off to dance to the first floor phonograph with Smiler to keep her occupied (amusingly, she kept doing cowpoke dancing randomly along with all the other dance moves. XD Now that's the kind of Erratic behavior I like!). Smiler then took some time to play with a down-looking Shadow, and I checked in on Marm and Victor to see them now solidly friends –

-->And that Victor was actually quite hungry. Well then – time to do the grand meal, I think! I clicked on the fridge to see what Alice could make –

And discovered “oh – it’s literally only the Grand Breakfast unless she makes some prepped veggies.” Well, good thing they have a stand mixer! I had her clean all the spoiled food out of the fridge, then get those veggies going before searching the pockets of the clothes in the laundry while Smiler cleaned up all the puddles the gnomes (which had moved into the attic to stare at the pictures from Plumbite Pier on the sideboard up there) had left in the living room. I thought I had everything well under control –

-->And then EVERYONE suddenly went “hey, the pets left a gift outside” and INSISTED on going outside to react to it. Never mind that it was still thunderstorming, or that one of them was the exact OPPOSITE of waterproof. Everybody had to go look at this tiny purple present! *shakehead* Seriously, Sims sometimes… Anyway, Alice was the only one to actually REACH the damn thing, so I had her open it while telling everyone else “GET BACK INSIDE.” (Marm’s umbrella broke before they could, which did feel slightly like karma.) Turned out the present was a broken fossil. *rolls eyes* Well, I guess it IS part of the collection, technically, so I went ahead and put it on the display. But cripes, all that for a clump of rocks worth $10…

Transformers Animated is so funny because specifically Megatron doesn't seem to be aware of the fact that he is in a kids' show. This man is taking everything so seriously. He goes for the kill all the time. He ignores all the 'this show is for kids' things around him. He spends an entire season as a cut off head and tries to kill the main cast at every moment anyway. Starscream betrays him again and he kills him. Starscream keeps coming back from the dead like a cartoon character? Megs kills him again. And again. Dumps his body out and goes back to serious business. Heroes keep attacking him? Fuck you he's bringing out a wholeass sword and a gun and he will use them. Never gonna forget the one time where Optimus saves him and then immediately after Megs picks him up and uses him as a shield. Everyone around him keeps doing and saying silly stuff for the funsies and he ignores them. Amazing. Irredeemable. He does not deal with cartoony stuff and mostly ignores anything that is like a kids show.

Like you could pick him up and plop him into TFP or IDW no problem, he's straight up a genocidal dictator. I love him and his non-silly ass

:) hello! :D hope you have a nice day and absolutely do not think of the possibility of one of the last story cards being of silver! and that his groovy will very probably be crying!!! THERE'S SO MANY CRYING PEOPLE IN STORY CARDS LATELY!!! SPECIALLY LIGHT USERS!! I AM!!! SCARED!!!! bc so far we got Lilia and Sebek in the beginning book 7.... so at the end.... so we're missing story Silver... and Malleus is the one with less cards, so they might add one for him... but... the tears... ego.... THE TEARS!!!! EGOOOO!! (LOVE YOUR ART BTW EVERYTIME I GET A NOTIF FROM YOUR BLOG I RUN HERE TO SEE!)

(thank you! 💚💜💚)

YES I am ALSO like...90-95% convinced that we're going to be getting a story card for Silver once we wrap around back to diasomnia. 👀 especially because the way things are going, Silver will be the only character whose dream we haven't seen -- yet???? -- and that just. y'know. makes me wonder!

although I do think it would be VERY funny if he got a story card and the groovy was just "regular Silver except with one beautiful single crystal tear". this is actually a lot coming from him.

(he used up all his emotion yelling at a baby that one time, there's none left for a proper groovy-level cry.)

It's a little bit late, but Happy Anniversary to Pokémon Colosseum! This took the best part of a month to complete (working on and off). Likes and reblogs heavily appreciated! Acrylic on canvas, 30 x 40

The two paintings side by side on my wall (as a side note, both of these were signed digitally on their solo photos for me to show online, since I didn't want to risk messing them up with my inconsistent squiggly signature or have the pen misfire horrifically ^^' )

[punk-greta]

[youwillfindilluminating]

I'm glad that daredevil will be releasing episodes weekly because then we'll have time to freak out about them, but on the flipside it's going to be a loooong wait for any kastle scenes

Summary: The Rat Grinders actually fight the Bad Kids on the Hangman instead of just sending dragons and Adaine has to do some quick thinking.

"Adaine Abernant."

Adaine winced, clutching her head as Raulothim's Psychic Lance pierced her mind. It figured Oisin knew the spell. Raulothim was a dragon after all. She wondered if he learned it in class like her or if he'd come to school already familiar with the spell because of his dragon ancestor who was currently trying to swallow Gorgug, axe and all. She didn't wonder for too long though. There wasn't time.

"See what you can do with access to proper spell components?" Oisin called from the other side of the room, his tone mocking.

"That spell doesn't even have material components!" Adaine called back in spite of herself. Insulting her was one thing but getting basic spellcraft wrong while doing it? Unacceptable. She ignored his expression, smug from getting a rise out of her no doubt, and surveyed the battlefield. The Rat Grinders had caught them on their back foot. Things were going OK but they were playing defense. And no one was where they needed to be. Spellcasters too close to melee, fighters out of range. Only Gorgug was arguably in the right place but he was far too close to being dragon food for her liking. Fabian needed to be closer to the action, Riz needed cover, and she…

Adaine suppressed a smile, idea forming in her mind. She needed to be in punching distance.

"Scatter," she said, raising a hand. Five creatures: Gorgug, Riz, Fabian, Kristen…and Oisin.

Her party members didn't fight the spell, well used to the feeling of her magic working on them mid-battle and knowing that it never meant harm. As she moved them to more advantageous positions, she was hit with a flash of the future: Oisin resisting the spell. She reached out and nudged fate just a bit. Nearby, Ivy walked dangerously close to a breath weapon attack. Oisin startled, moved to grab her, and--pop. Suddenly, he was standing right next to Adaine who was already rearing her fist.

"Counterspell!" Oisin called, runes on his forearms glowing. The expression on his face was even more smug as the blue energy charging on her fist fizzled.

"Predictable," he said.

"Gullible," Adaine thought, halting her fist without following through on the punch and stomping her foot on the ground to activate the teleportation circle they were both now standing on. Because of course the boy with the empty house and unlimited funds would have a teleportation circle installed so he could have his friends over as often as possible. Teleportation via spell needed a willing creature but a Circle? That just needed proximity.

As the spell went off, she concentrated. The benefit of a teleportation circle was that it couldn't go wrong like a normal Teleport spell could. It wasn't supposed to anyway. But any magic could be tweaked if you pushed hard enough. She remembered winding up in the wrong room in the twisted version of Mordred inside Riz's briefcase and concentrated on that feeling. She was sure she was going to have a headache in the morning but that was more than a fair price. She wrenched control of the spell, just enough to force the circle to spit them out a little bit outside of the paired circle in Mordred. There was a flash of light and--forget having a headache tomorrow. Her head felt like it had been bashed in with a pickaxe the moment they landed on the floor of her bedroom. She didn't think she'd be able to get back up for a minute or two--she didn't even try. Oisin didn't seem to have that problem though. He got up and stood over her.

He smirked. "I thought the elven oracle was supposed to be more of a challenge. I knew we'd come out on top but I didn't think it'd be so easy." He raised his hands, readying a spell, but the sparks at his clawtips died as quickly as they were produced. He tried the spell again to the same result, too focused to notice the sudden subtle sheen to the patterns painted on her bedroom walls.

A Sending spell pinged in her mind. "Ten seconds, dear sister."

A smile played on Adaine's lips.

"What?" Oisin demanded.

"Just that you all have been so obsessed with being our nemeses this whole time. But that was never gonna happen with you and me. That position is already filled."

There was another flash of light and before it even cleared, Adaine felt the tingle of magic settling over her like a second skin. Her sister's abjurer's ward extending to cover her reflexively. Just beyond the ward, she could feel the temperature in the room start to drop--a side effect of the Cone of Cold that was about to erupt from Aelwyn's outstretched hands.

"You're familiar with my bitch of a sister, right?"

oops i have hit some of my sprunkis with my silly mii beam

[localcryptic]

the LD Rangers team is the nightmare blunt rotation. argent is intentionally trying to freak herald out because its funny. herald keeps floating higher and higher because he can't help it. steel's paranoia is through the fucking roof. ortega is the ONLY one having a good time. don't even get me started on sidestep

[peliginspeaks]

Yeah I'm not done Veilsposting actually. Woops. Anyways, the longer I think about it, the more its bounty has a very clear class implication that goes along with Veils' desire to not so much have a rival, as have a victim who draws out the killing. 4 billion Echoes. Think about who would go for that. A bounty like that, a share big enough to fund your life many times over and ridiculous enough to be a warning in itself, is going to pull out the overconfident, the overly curious, and the desperate. The type of people baited into hunting Veils would end up being: 1. Rich hunters armed to the teeth looking for glory, 2. The odd curious Neathy newcomer who's about to get way in over their head, and 3. Anyone too desperate to turn down a chance at the money, even if they know the chance is low if anything.

The first kind it could be flashy about dismantling, and prideful in its ability to overcome a well-funded arsenal. The last two kinds of people will be afraid. Openly, miserably, viscerally afraid. It enjoys that. There's a reason it takes its good sweet time actually showing up to try and kill the PC in the late stages of BaL, even though it can travel through Parabola and definitely has the resources to just have them assassinated at a distance if it really came down to it. It wanted desperate people to come to it, and it wanted them to jump through the ridiculous side-quest hoops the Scarred Naturalist set out, and it wanted them to show up and be afraid, for its own entertainment. For a chance at prize money they never had a shot at getting.

What I'm saying is modern-day Veils would fund those humiliating game shows.

[phightingheadcanons]
