1270 for the ask game :O

the final song.....

5AM - Amber Run

“are you even happy here, mari?”

it’s the first thing luz has said all day, which is, you know, not great, but really the only person luz talks to these days is hunter, so, like, whatever. her friends are off building the portal home and she is at human school and mari is stuck-small and that is. fine. she’s not bitter about it. at all.

somewhere mari cannot hear, she bites out, i wish i could just leave you behind.

but in the here and now mari is lifting her tiny hummingbird head. her heart is a flutter and luz sometimes thinks it could be crushed so easily, like lizard crushed them so easily, like every single form they have had to control themself into has crushed, and crushed, and mari doesn’t even seem to care. what is luz about to learn in human school that she can’t learn at hexside? human history?

mari says nothing to her. this isn’t new. oftentimes mari says nothing to her. luz can count on one hand the conversations they’ve have across the past month. she’s talked to vee more times than she’s talked to her own daemon, and she tries not to talk to vee, because everytime they do it devolves, inevitably, into argument.

mari says, “does it matter? we’re doing what we need to.”

i think need to is going to kill us, luz doesn’t say aloud.

instead she continues to stare out the classroom window, as if maybe, one day, the view might change into something like home.

Commentary

lowkey this song was like, way too depressing for where i'm at with this au, actually dknfdg since i'm done we're PAST all the sad stuff!! for the most part!! but the song Demands sorrow on vibes alone so we get something taking place during thanks to them!

luz and mari do indeed go to human school for a while! nobody is happy about this!! nobody wants this!! what the fuck!!

i can't say much 'cause i'd rather wait for thanks to them itself to be posted lol, so uhhh return in like two years i guess <3 but basically luzmari spend most of that fic Going Through It, and nobody is happy, and nobody is healthy, and literally everyone around them can see and tell but luzmari refuse to listen to anybody at this point because they are both separately convinced they've figured it all out (they have figured out nothing at all)

I just saw one of your fave games is What remains of Edith Finch and I’m so happy! I feel like its a lesser known game but i loved playing through it. I’m so happy to know more than just my small friend group know about this game!

Sorry this isn’t a question. Also want to say that you’re art is amazing and the development of the designs is so interesting to see. Also the way you draw intimate scenes have so much emotion to them. I love the Aj and rarity kissing comic so much, you can just feel their love for each other ;w;

Thank you so much!

I highly, highly, highly recommend What Remains of Edith Finch to anyone interested in narrative game experiences/"walking simulators." It's one of those games that was handcrafted with nothing but love. Every room you explore is just... real. The way the light flows in and makes the colors of the living room, the kitchen, the bedrooms glow. Playing the game is like walking through your childhood home as an adult and seeing how the dust clings to everything you once touched. Also genius-level gameplay mechanics, ones that can make you completely empathetic with the character you're embodying or feel completely complacent in their tragedy. It's really not fair to call it a walking simulator because it's so much more and so much smarter than that.Everyone talks about the fish one.

The theme of death and memory and storytelling and the burden of invisible trauma and self-fulfilling prophecies is so affecting too. The ending made me cry.

wish it was cool and acceptable to write fanfiction of your own work, especially before the original work is actually done 😂

I keep unintentionally vocalizing in response to things humans usually don't vocalize to. Little sounds of greeting or recognition, growls of frustration, etc. Earlier I growled in excitement/triumph because there was finally a washer available for me to wash my clothes.

It feels so natural and right, but gods it's going to be awkward when people start noticing. I'm not trying to hide my alterhumanity, but it's not common knowledge either. And because it's not intentional there's no discrimination in when/where I do it either.

Just a side-effect of unmasking, I guess?

2/2(?)

Pt 1 | Pt 2

Context:

Bill trapped Ford in a bubble, screwing his view of reality. In order to trick Ford, Bill has repressed his memories and manipulated him into believing that he lives with Bill back in the shack where they're both working to complete the 'portal'. Bill's goal here is to get the equation he desperately needed in order to escape Gravity Falls.

An important thing to note is that whenever Ford remembers, the whole scenario resets.
