Murder Drones Episode 8 Blind Reaction Part 2

Contains spoilers

Cyntessa’s “kay” feels like her version of “I love doing anything.” so cocky and up for anything, but that might just be her downfall.

Guys, the nightcore song is called “BiteMe!” Can this get any better?

It actually has some motifs similar to “Uzi the Drone Killer”, arguably one of the main music themes of the series, so yes, it can.

NOOO! Not Uzi stabbing N! It’s probably a trap or a trick, but still.

Bye J

I mean, yes, but no. Or like a number of blinks and winks

Not using N’s love of dogs against him. or more like the good memories they had before this whole thing

Guys pay attention! V is fighting the abomination alone!

I like the “Let them swallow you” lyric to represent the solver’s insatiable hunger

How you like it now Cyn?

Bit of a callback to the fact they are vampires, or vampire adjacent. The burning in the sun just felt like an appropriate ending for the abomination that’s been haunting everything

Is it over?

The solver has gotten eaten. And their reaction is priceless

But won’t that corrupt/take over Uzi now? or even kill her? that’d be a tragic way to go. Destroyed the monster but you destroyed yourself in the process.

Ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, e-

Oh no, she’s dead!

Nvm, we’re good. but is it over? Truly?

We really needed more Thad, honestly. So much characterization gone to waste

Heh, like mother, like daughter.

You could say their hearts are connected. Hope there’s a proper reunion. Please. Please. PLEASE! They’re literally soulmates.

OMG girl, seriously, OC?

But in all seriousness, the battle scars for what she’s gone through is such a nice touch. Her half toned eyes are there to show what happened happened, and she came out alive

And we all know everyone is going to have at least one oc with this new canon trait

It really is a hero’s journey. It came full circle. Now she’s more assured of herself, has friends, and the colony is safe.

We stan a supportive Khan. Character growth.

Not Doll’s corpse!

She’s still a chaos gremlin

Also can we just take a minute to appreciate how far the animation has come from the first episode to now? everyone at Glitch should be proud of their improvement. This series is a testament to their efforts and skills and it’s absolutely wonderful.

I really like how the end credits show everything that’s happened and how it’s changed. Like the partial solver symbol over the planet, Khan and Nori did get a reunion (YEEEEESSSS!) and N finally getting his rummy game.

DOLL?!?!?!?!

Liam Vickers 2D animation, nice touch

The funeral for Doll deserved

And the kids can be kids now. also deserved.

Honestly, everyone who’s worked on this should get a round of applause and a big ol’ “Thank You!” From the production to the voice acting, to the animation, to the sound and music, to the crazy ideas in general that happen to work so well. Thank you so much for making this series a reality. I may have gotten into it later than some others, but I love this show as much as those who’s been there day one. It is a little sad to see it’s done, but I’m also glad it ended as well as it did.

Cyn lives in Uzi’s mind now

[mellohiizz]

omg ok hi glitchduo anon here i love them so much let me list some of the #winning glitchduo moments in and out of lifesteal

- ash's TOP PRIORITY at the end of s5 was protecting squiddo, it was in his Book Of Goals (unofficial title)

- they are actually both really protective of each other like squiddo spent a whole irl day worrying about him NOT dying in the whole death party murder thing in early s5

- also. There was this whole thing where once ash found the orbital strike canon squiddo thought he was gonna kill them but!! He didnt. it was a lot more emotional than that but im trying to keep this Kind Of short

- ash also spent a LOT of time checking in on her near the end of s5 to make sure wemmbu wasnt trying to kill them

- lifesteal spoilers but during the final peace trial ash actually Really did not want to kill squiddo and apparently only accepted it when he was allowed to give them back the heart (ive only heard about this from 4c's pov so it might be inaccurate but i think squiddo will have it in her next video so. Yay)

- when squiddo got immortality in s5 apparently her and ash could toggle each others immortality. Like they literally held each others lives in the palm of their hands

- they were going to move far away to somewhere nice after the 'bad guys' were defeated (also in s5) and were going to be roommates. Ash said he was going to make friends with her allay 🙁🙁🙁😔😔😔 unfortunately they chunkbanned each other

- my personal favorite stream ever was the two of them talking about fnaf and playing dti for two and a half hours. They were supposed to be practicing for mccr

In summary i really like them they are the best friends ever..... huge huge fan of m/f friendships esp them.....

hello glitchduo anon!! ^_^ question! is this glitch duo propaganda?? am i being converted into a cult? /j if it is, then it's definitely working btw, they sound so sweet :( i'm not sure if i'll actually watch a lot of streams, because, again, i don't have that much time so this is the only way i get to know lore lol anyway, yapping aside, thank you for introducing me to them, their friendship sounds so nice...

Prepare thineself for Situations™️

Hey there! Mod Anonimitie here! Figured it was high time for a pinned post lmao

Anyway, this is a blog where you can shoot asks/requests to characters from GHOST, Vane, or RIProducer's songs!

MODS:

Anonimitie (He/they/doll) @fanaticanon Mike (He/she/glitch) @zorati101 Fern/Norman (Any pronouns) @fern-the-trashy-plant

GUIDELINES:

Characters with no canon name or a name we don't like will be given a better one (e.g. Oliver Invalid for the Medical Anomaly, Winnie White instead of Slurpee)

Anonimitie draws GHOST's characters, Mike handles RIP's funny guys, and Norman will take care of any Vane requests.

If there's a request for a character from another producer, chances are we'll still debate drawing them if we recognize the song!

Unfortunately, we only do characters from original vocaloid songs. Trust me, as much as I'd enjoy drawing something like PF UmbraticForest meeting Dr. Teritol, no art from human covers will be made.

CHARACTER LIST (absolutely ginormous. sorry ;v;):

Ok keep in mind we don't know every english vocaloid song in existence. If your favorite song/character is missing, we're sorry

GHOST

Ragdoliver, Cakey/Obsequious, Solauria, literally any COMMUNICATIONS character (I'm going to say that both [SPOILERS] and the actual storytellers are allowed. Go nuts, kids), Kennith Simmons (please specify which version), Chloe (Candle Queen), Arc, Say, Sticky (Chelovek), Muerta and Cotard (DEATHBODY), Christopher Pierre, Mothku, I'm too stupid to come up with creative names so any Gone Fishing requests should just say 'GF ____', Winnie White (Happy Days. I am NOT calling her fucking Slurpee), Norman Da Luz, Charon, literally any other HIH character except that fuckass mantis, Tooth Hurty, Trash Dentist/Michael, Iolite (Honestly it's expected but it works), Dr. Teritol, Price (perfect nothing), The Scapeg♾at, Spidere (OG) or Izaak (2022), Adres, Ergo Sum, Dizzy, Alene (TTID), Carrie, Sugar (ToaK), Mr. Uncanny, Korozashisakae, The Crazy Town losers (again, just ask CT ____), Hunter and Stella Hayes, Faceless

Also, pronounced as Annihilate), Lucian Abbot (You get whatever outfit Mike feels like drawing at the time of your ask. Sorry), Frankie, Salem and Travis (The Monochrome Mentality. Travis is the fuckass demon, you should recognize the other two), Eve (What Gave it Away)

FAIR GAME PRODUCERS (Whoever feels like drawing their characters at the time will answer asks about them):

Flavor Foley (Cleavere, Heyden, Verity, Rayve, Hyacinth and Rosa), Team 6x111 (The Khalids, Kieran, Nina, Micah, James, Sarai), VocaloKAT (Megurinalice, Hatsuknitted Dolly, Mocky and [selfish brat.], Solar Flare, PARANOIA, SuperMiku, Eleanor Forgotten), Artechna (Destin, Horas, Maven and Camille), Steampianist [Pananampalataya (Ang Cariñosa), Candle Boy, La Llorona and her sons (If we need to give them a name I'll get to that. I'm only counting these as askable characters because technically the song has its own version of the legend, and therefore the characters), Blackheart (Loveless), Thing, Allisa (UL&HWSB)] {NOTE: Any Secrets of Wysteria asks will be discarded. That song is about real people and true events, and to use this blog as a way to demean that would be absolutely horrible.}

I was thinking about making Nora (PHR0NTISTERY) an askable character, but I don't think Vefve would like that. Sorry!

BLACKLIST (Asks about these will be discarded.):

Just wanted to say, it’s really funny to think of my Sona being in this… because my Sona does have video game logic, there’s a reason glitchy is in my name, and than there’s also all the emotion shit like being able to literally share emotion through touch or show memories… so the chaos is funny to me, all the chaos I’m imagining. (That would also mean Moshie is canon since our lore is intertwined/silly/j)

I can imagine Caine’s first thought was that she was a virus since she can physically glitch and fuck shit up if needed be.. so I’m just gonna act like my Sona doesn’t know how to do half the shit they know how to in Og because with my coding knowledge plus actual Sona abilities, the AU would be fucked 💃

[LOLOLOL no thats not how the game works internally BUT the glitching is a nice touch. learn how to kinda control it and you might be vital to pomnis defeat ^^]

[warriorslocke-red]

final story post: part 2 [ACTUAL final]

*knocks on the door softly* hello??? anyone still home??

full disclosure, I really did fully forget this time. But I'd really hate to leave something I actually started unfinished. SO, at risk of forgetting for even longer, here all all of my remaining notes~

Ok so now we get to how the actual….story line?? Was sort of going to go…admittedly saying that I knew how I wanted it to end may have even been a bit of an exaggeration. I had a very loose and blurry shape of how I wanted it to end and explaining it is a bit difficult because mostly I have some disconnected half-formed ideas that I never figured out how to fit together. I’ll just attempt to describe each concept individually

First off, I made some additions to StarClan and The Dark Forest (that frankly I think drift quite a bit away from feeling like “warrior cats” but w/e)

And as preface, ALLL of this was scribbled down a year before the broken code came out, so any overlap with that lore is a funny coincidence.

StarClan and the dark forest have some minor “deities” for lack of a better word. They are spirits that resemble cats just sort of born out of the magic innate to these afterlives (which all originated from the clans faith, because in this world belief/memory can manifest things into existence, like canonically thats how it seems to works). They have little jobs that keep their little afterlife realm running smoothly. Some over see dreams, other over see receiving prophecies, if I knew about the concept of starclan trials I probably would have said thats mostly made up of starclan born spirits as well. They are probably in charge of enforcing rules, and some starclan cats don’t agree with starclans judgement of morality. So keep that in mind.

One of them is a guardian between starclan and the dark forest, that being oakpath. He is apathetic and has grown to dislike starclan. Oakpath guards the barrier between the worlds, and you met him briefly at the start.

I had this idea that, similar to how little spirits have manifested in starclan, the dark forest has also manifested spirits. The clans imagine the dark forest like an entity that has a will to do evil, and so in response those scary stories brought the dark forest itself to life, and it’s further fueled by the hatred and bitterness of former-clan cats banished there. The Dark Forest can manifest as anything, usually a shadowy cat, but also as a bird, as prey that refuses to be caught, and as the trees themselves--and they are growing powerful/intelligent enough to learn how to make their own little dark forest born spirits, similar to the ones that come from starclan. The shadowy cats that attack the group might be old vengeful ghosts, but mostly they are half-formed cat-shaped dark spirits

The Dark Forest is the narrator of this story, he is omniscient and aware of everything all the time in his forest (hence why the story is told in present time 3rd person, and why it has a mocking tone, it's meant to be like he is watching and describing the events as they happen. He is just amusing himself. He plays around with the cats trapped in his woods when he’s bored, and this is one of those instances. He is very enamored with the concept of stories, stories are after all how the clans keep their spirits alive, and the very thing that created/maintains starclan and the dark forest. He’s kind of mocking the main cast with how he talks about them, as if he’s treating their afterlives like a simple story told for the amusement of kits.

This also leads to one of the more important characters--Starsight Starsight was based on my mew in game……..which i guess I should explain. I did have an exception to my nuzlocke rule, this run was initially inspired by me researching all the crazy glitches you can do on the gen 1 games, including this one that lets you get a level 7 mew (normally it is completely unobtainable in this game, it was never meant to be caught by any player! It was just added in for fun at the end…research mews origins for yourself sometime, BOY these old games are so buggy it's unreal). Anyway, I wanted to play through a game with a mew on my team, but gen 1 is sort of boring so I decided to make the rest of it a nuzlocke, the exception being the part of the game where i’d glitch everything to make a mew appear. In the story, I interpreted this as Starsight is a StarClan-born spirit who doesn't like the way things are done in the clan's afterlife. She doesnt like the dark forest at all and doesnt think every cat there deserves to be there forever. She has a small amount of starclan cats who agree with her and she decided she wanted to prove that even cats who had done bad things could become better and prove themselves if given the chance. She is strong enough to maintain her spirit in the dark forest, but it is very dangerous for any starclan spirit as (in this world) the dark forest is one of the only places where they can be permanently destroyed. Mostly it was family and friends of my dark forest cats who decided they wanted to see their lost loved ones again. Starsight had a flashback scene with Foxrunner, who desperately wanted her daughter back (her relationship with Elkfeather was going to be a whole thing. I doubt she’d ever want to be around her mother, but she would be willing to help her find her own place in starclan if, and only if, Elkfeather could safely bring her daughter (plumtooth) back to her.)

So, it’s canon StarClan spirits maintain themselves on memory of some kind, otherwise they peacefully start fading (or at least go dormant. I believe this is more of a choice on their part than a forced phenomena). Dark forest cats hardly even have the opportunity to fade naturally. Their fear always shocks them back to consciousness, and difficulty fading is perhaps part of the punishment. It’s all a very cruel existence. I was trying to reason out some logic along the lines of like…so these old spirits were banished from the memory of their clans and former family because of their misdeeds, so they are very weak spirits. If they are remembered at all, it is only as echoes in monstrous scary nursery tales, and that being their only anchor to the living was not something acceptable for StarClan warriors. They would have a hard time surviving the journey between StarClan and the Dark Forest without destroying themselves, and even more difficulty maintaining their spirit in StarClan, if they did not have some kind of new anchor in the living cat's memories--some kind of story of their own that would be worth telling and passing down. Starsight saw an opportunity to bring cats out of the dark forest when one cat, a talented storyteller, slipped into despair and unconsciously put himself into the dark forest because he thought he deserved to be there (or maybe the Dark Forest Spirit took him down there, he was close to dying and maybe comatose or something so…I think the dark forest is also trying to kill him?). Starsight thought he could wake up again and tell the story of every cat he met and journeyed with in the forest, because they still mattered and then they all could become strong enough again to find a place safely in StarClan. If he manages to wake up, of course.

The Dark Forest wanted to send someone to steal his body and then use that agent to spread chaos, to spread stories with their own agenda that will give them a more vivid memory in the clan's collective consciousness and nightmares, and maybe add more cats to the dark forest. Just for fun. His long term goal is another war like the one from OotS to build up, enough fear in the living cats minds to give them the power to manifest in the living world again. So all this between Russet and the mysterious rude blue cat he met at the start is a race to claim Russet’s comatose body (keep in mind this was before the broken code came out…i thought the body snatching was a little too silly but now, with the exception of the dark forest being an entity, most of this, including wandering around as a ghost when you’re in a near-death coma, is perfectly plausible within current wc canon, so, lol)

Starsight has a limited time to help, not just because of the danger to herself but because the rest of StarClan knows of the risks, and they want to just kill Russet's body for the greater good so no one can have it. The StarClan warriors on Starsight's side are stalling them.

Anyway the dark forest is not at all happy about Starsight, because Starsight is cheating and ruining his game. She, as the only character aware of everything, is also the only other character who is as omniscient as the Dark Forest narrator and she can talk back at him. Her introduction was really funny in my head.

[alt text: A soft light breaks through the dark, shining blue eyes peered back at Russet as--wait. Wait a minute. What? Oh no. You have got to be joking. What is this? This isn’t allowed! This is not even remotely allowed! You're ruining everything! Starsight: And yet, here we are! Hello, hello, Russet, right? I’ve been following your scent and I think I can be of help!]

She would probably snark back at the narrator multiple times throughout the story, and everyone would look at her strangely as she was speaking to the empty air. (and. Slight tongue in cheek reference to the fact that her existence on my pokemon team was breaking the nuzlocke rules lmao.) She wouldn’t be able to tell them the truth, she would just guide them away from unnecessary dangers. They have to discover who they are and become better cats on their own, or else the spirits would have no chance of escape. If they knew they could get out, they would just act better for the sake of a reward.

I’ll be honest, Russet’s backstory is one of the big things I couldn’t figure out. I know he was a storyteller. His hidden last name “-song” is a reference to that (I suppose I interpreted -song as a poetic way of referencing legends and story-telling in the clan). Taking away his name was mostly about taking away his confidence in himself, as the weaker his will is, the easier he’d be to body-snatch. The Dark Forest wanted him to forget what he was known for, forget what it was like to feel like a full member of a community, and generally feel like a nobody who could slip away into death easily and unnoticed. I don’t know what exactly happened in his life to make him so depressed and disillusioned with everything he held dear. Whether or not bad cats can be redeemed or deserve to be remembered needed to play a part somehow in his life in order to tie in with the overall theme. I never really worked it all out. But remembering his name would coincide with remembering why he should try to live as well. The stronger his will, the stronger his uncanny scent showing them all the way out--his spirit is trying to guide itself back to his body, hence why only he has a vague sense of what direction to go. But it is not very reliable, the Dark Forest is always getting to him and weakening his hope.

I never ended up finishing the pokemon game this was story based on, I stopped somewhere between badge 7 and 8, so who knows how many would have died. (as it was, only two actually died in my game. Honeyhawk the beedrill, and a pikachu called Sparkleap) All I know is in the end, they would discover the truth and every character would have gone through some big personal trial to face their past mistakes and learn how to be better people. Starsight would slowly help lead them to the edge of the dark forest, which would become more and more clear the more the characters developed and did good deeds or something.

Russetsong would eventually get his memories back, and find his way back to his body with help from Starsight and his new friends, and when he wakes up he carries memories and stories of the cats who strove to become better than they had been. He can pass those stories on and give their spirits something to hold onto--memories living on where they are more than merely forgotten monsters. Starsight would use it all as an argument that dark forest cats CAN change, and they should be let into StarClan.

I am uncertain if every single character would be redeemed. I think at the start I envisioned everyone who's pokemon counterpart survived would be given a redemption arc, where everyone who died would fail the test and turn on the group to join The Dark Forest's side--but i’m too good at nuzlockes and p much no one died sooooo oh well. This sort of thing probably should have been based on a COMPLETED game, because I was coming up with story lines and arcs when I didn’t even know who the final cats would be yet!

Anyway! That’s all I have on this story. Don’t know why it took so long to get this out, but if you actually managed to read all these long word dumps, thank you!! It’s fun to look back on this story. Apparently the first post is like…over 5 years old?? Good lord it doesn’t seem like it was so long ago… But at the same time it feels like I wrote it ages and ages ago. I have long since moved past it, but i'm happy to give some uh...vague conclusion at last. It was fun to work on--the handful of times I managed to do so. Sorry I never managed to turn this into a finished story, hopefully I will have some completed writing/art projects some day in the near-ish future! (Follow me on my current main blog yarrowleef to see if that ever happens~)

if you have any follow up questions, feel free to send them! I may not have detailed answers to everything, but I will attempt to answer!

Undertale Dream

because the last time someone had an undertake dream it got decent traction and also because i haven't had a dream in so long.

Snowdin and the Dunes swap places in the Underground. Like Geographically. When Sans and Papyrus “show up one day” they show up in the Dunes. The Dunes acts more like a Mesa than a desert. There’s still sand, but… ‘Snowdin’ no longer has any snow Starlo + Feisty(j) 5, Dina and Ceroba are in the Dunes. Dina’s business means Grillby works somewhere else (probably ‘Snowdin’) Sans is just naturally popular, while Starlo struggles to achieve Sans’ popularity. Instead of wanting to join the Royal Guard, Papyrus attempts and succeeds in joining Starlo’s crew. Sans doesn’t really care. (note: Sans and Alphys still had their whole scientist thing going with Gaster, that part doesnt change. Sans also has existential nihilism and shit)

Due to ‘bad influences’ MK lives in Waterfall, still looking up to Undyne. New Home/Capital is more lively, think TS!Ruins, but WAY BIG, to the point where there’s a tour guide. Capital is also very buggy; characters can fall into secret rooms underneath the ground or just clip out of bounds. This is apparently a feature?

There is a cavern somewhere in the Dunes that has Kindness’ Frying Pan on a pedestal. Actually all the Fallen Humans’ items are in secret places, hidden by the humans, instead of just dropped. The Patience Knife was in a room that marked the location of the Kindness Pan. There is no barrier preventing movement from Dunes to Ruins.

Frisk was the 7th fallen human, with the ghost Chara still being linked to them. They carried with them a violin case, which had a violin, bow, and Toy Gun. They die, and when Clover falls Frisk and Chara start to haunt Clover. Before they died they buried the case in a secret underground room in the Capital Chara told them about.

Clover has the Cowboy Hat and the Stick. Frisk had the Bandage and the Toy Gun.

According to some sort of official guide (of this version of Undertale), it says Sans and Papyrus never die. Like they just don’t die. While some have taken this to mean the genocide route isnt canon, by looking out of bounds, you see Sans and Papyrus just leave the scene and are replaced by another set of Sans and Papyrus, thus meaning there are two Sanses and two Papyruses. This is important, because the 1st set of brothers ends up trapped in the cavern with the Kindness Frying Pan after the entrance to the cavern crumbles, meaning the second set of brothers are free to do whatever they want. (also for whatever reason in this dream i never bothered to get the Frying Pan so idk what would happen if clover tried to get it)

One last bit about the dream is that when Clover enters Capital and glitches off the trail, they are able to help Asgore, who is stuck in a secret room underneath a tree and a patch of grass. Interacting with the tree will cause the tree to ‘fall’, opening up the secret passageway. After Asgore leaves the room he gives you the violin case belonging to Frisk, after which you pick up the toy gun no matter what. The player doesnt get an option Clover just picks it up.

I think Waterfall, Hotland, and Core are mostly the same mostly cuz I dont think about those areas a lot so i dont end up dreaming about them.

Little Nightmares theories nd timeline dump <3 here y'all go

OKK SO!! First my personal timeline

For one I believe that the "girl in the yellow raincoat" (I'll just call her Raincoat) is the lady's daughter, nd I'd think very rebellious as she always kept her hair down, refused to wear a mask and wore a bright yellow raincoat a guest gave her when it was raining once. And unfortunately when she was feeling extra adventurous there just so happened to be a shipment of a hot air balloon that just came in

So Raincoat flew off in the balloon hoping to explore, but just crashed into The Mansion, a place the maw would usually get it's supplies from and where they'd send out supplies. The mansion is owned by a certain teacher that has to work away from home usually in the city, so she hired the Butler and the Craftsman to watch her daughter for her. Unfortunately she didn't know the fun hobbies her daughter got into either.

I also go by what is basically Canon that Six is the other little girl that takes the raincoat at the end. I still genuinely can't figure out how she loses it nd finds it again in the Pale City, I'm assuming maybe it could've gotten lost through the TVs? However she got it again, I wanna keep the VLN story bc it's important to later.

So ofc LN2 happens next, Six nd Mono go through the Hunters cabin nd then the Pale City, they kill a man or two, the usual/j, we get the big betrayal scene where Six drops Mono as they're both fleeing from the signal tower (which I'll talk Abt my theory why in a minute)

Nd THIS next part is why I wanted 2 keep the VLN story. The Lady's daughter had been missing 4 a few days now, the Lady was getting frantic, and then she hears that apparently her dear daughter was just found wandering around the Pale City, nd the Ferryman found her and he'll be returning her home. Everyones esthetic, her daughter is back, she'll just stay with uncle Roger until The Lady will b able to take her back up to her room again. But this isn't her daughter, this is Six, she just looks sm like her with the raincoat on. Six doesn't understand nor care at this point, so she still runs away from Roger and finds a nice little crawlspace to hide in. Then Six starts getting these dreams of the Lady, nc decides she'll go up to her herself

This is why Roger never actually hurts Six, when he catches her he most likely just takes her 2 bed. He and everyone else still just thinks this is the Lady's daughter being especially rebellious

Until she cuts off Rogers arms, and Lady is finally informed by the Butler who's body they found that fell off the cliff. Everyone then realizes this little girl isn't only a fake, but she's very dangerous. This is why next the Chefs nd even the Lady herself full on attack Six, they probably assume she killed the Lady's daughter herself.

Six still wins in the end though and defeats the Lady, killing her nd stealing her powers. Nd I have a theory 4 why exactly Six even did all this.

This theory is all mostly from my brother so credit to him, but we think that Six at the end of LN2 is not the same Six from at the start.

For one, Six has a lot of personality throughout the 2nd game. She jumps nd plays around, yells 4 Mono, and likes to act 4 herself (like her getting revenge on one of the bullies herself). But in the scenes after Mono saves her and in the first game, Six barely even emotes at all, and she has that consuming hunger throughout the first game. Me nd my brother think this is bc when Six was taken by the Thin Man, only her body was taken. Her soul was left behind- as "Shadow Six".

Not only does Shadow Six look a lot like the "glitches" we see near TVs throughout the game that seem 2 b lost souls of dead ppl, but she appears around Six specifically when she's eating something. We think Sixs soul was left behind, and when Mono went 2 save Six, all that was left was a husk with basic survival instincts, and wanting to feel whole again. She drops Mono bc she doesn't remember who he is and just wants to survive. Then when she sees the poster 4 the Maw, the one thing she thinks of is: food night b there, and food would make her feel less empty

Six isn't constantly hungry from, actually being hungry, but bc shes a husk who wants something like her soul back nd associates that w food. Its why we see Shadow Six appear every time Six eats, she's been following her body around hoping she could go back to normal but just has 2 watch herself succumb more nd more to this hunger untill she finally has 2 watch herself kill the Lady. This is also why Six gains the Lady's powers after killing her, she has no soul so the Lady's magic replaces it.

Okk idk what else 2 add 2 this these r all just my thoughts <3

Dr. Hofnarr’s Horrible, No-Good, Very Weird 15 Years Of Being Dead.

a tribute to fanon interpretations/character study(?) that was going to be a bonus chapter in a post-canon/au comedy fic im working on! might come back to expand on this when i do start posting it (or if mpn gives him more background story lore that i’ll have to work with aoAHGHOAUGH)

happy madness day! :o)

“Where should I begin… Perhaps at the very beginning? OH! Christoff and I first met years before our Nexus days! Back in our freshman years of college, to be precise! You know, I was actually a theater major before switching to- ... A-Aah, too far back. Much too far... Let’s start from the point where the notes I supplied to you ended then, shall we? After our dissension...”

.. “Good luck, old friend...” ..

The first years on the run from Nexus was stressful to say the least. Hofnarr and Christoff had split up to better their chances of survival. He knew the process would be grueling, having talked to Christoff almost every night about it to calm his nerves. While he played calm for the cameras, Hofnarr truly wished he could have held him close one last time. No communications. No physical contact. Day after day, month after month, nothing. He would be separated from his husband for a very long time…

It wasn’t all bad after a while. He had a comfortable new apartment, went under a new alias, and his questionable new job paid him enough to buy food. His apartment even had cable! He could watch marathons of Slaughter Time whenever he got home! In hindsight, he wondered if that had an effect on his mental state at the time...

Hofnarr had taken the last of his S3LF regulator with him, having shipped them out to an undisclosed location prior to dissension. Dissonance exposure did a number on him and his research team, leaving them to track their “normality” through daily blood tests and injections. While they met their fates early on, Hofnarr had gotten lucky. That is, until the doses began to run out.

Stressful as it was, he knew what he had to do. Hofnarr rushed back to what remained of the labs, knowing it had been abandoned by now. It was ironic, he and Christoff’s work, the work that was turned against them, was the one thing keeping him alive. For days, he worked to make more doses from the materials he brought with him. But there was only so much he could do with limited supplies… Hofnarr made many attempts to prolong the inevitable, lowering his dosage amount, injecting it weekly rather than daily, but he eventually ran dry. 

Refusing to turn to darker alternatives, he felt the only thing he could do at this point is record his final findings through video logs.

“It was… interesting revisiting the footage, to put it nicely. Christoff had actually kept the video files on a drive after he originally found all my things in the lab! I barely remembered what happened back then, so I rewatched them out of curiosity.”

On the first night, Hofnarr recorded a message for Christoff. One filled with sorrow, but also with gratitude. For the time that they spent together. How special he made him feel. All the memories they made together...

On the next, he recorded a log detailing his findings during Project Nexus. The effects of dissonance, the Other Place, what it did to him and his colleagues, everything and anything he could.

The next, he reported on the progression of his symptoms. Fever, brain fog, insomnia, joint pain. He felt like his organs were melting, his skin bursting at the seams.

The next night he saw something and remembered. Scars. The scars on his head. That week he was in the staff hospital. He thought it was a dream but the scars were there. Phobos. Director Phobos brought him somewhere that week. He knew he felt off when he woke up in the office that night. He knew something was off when Christoff asked him where he was. He thought he passed out from over-working. That bastard Phobos. Nausea was replaced with rage as he began to scream, his throat becoming raw. What did he put in him? What the hell did he put inside him!?

On the last recorded log, he was face-down on the ground. Groaning as his body occasionally convulsed. Until the video feed eventually cut off.

His body would lay there dormant, dead, for fifteen years. 

But to Hofnarr, he felt like he was dreaming.

.. “LET’S GIVE IT UP FOR OUR NEXT CONTESTANT!” ..

“Huh?” The doctor sat up and looked around, the area around him pitch black. Wasn’t he sleeping just a moment ago? He got up and took a step forward in the seemingly endless void. “H-Hello? Who’s out there?”

“AWW, DON’T BE SHY NOW! ESTEEMED AUDIENCE, A BIG ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR OUR GUEST; THE UNFORTUNATE DOCTOR HOFNARR!”

A light shined down on him from above. A crowd seemingly began to cheer all around him. He was in the center of what looked like a talk show set. Hofnarr awkwardly scratched the corner of his face. “‘Unfortunate’? W-What do you mean? W-Who are you?”

“FIGHT FIRST, ASK QUESTIONS LATER!” The voice above him called out again. “AFTER ALL, IT’S…!” Hofnarr drowned out the noise while trying to think. It sounded familiar. Like it came from…

Hofnarr’s thoughts were cut short. He looked down at his torso. Terror set in as he recognized an entire stop sign had been lodged through his chest.

“DON’T GET COLD FEET NOW! THE SHOW’S ONLY JUST BEGUN!” 

The words echoed in Hofnarr’s mind as he frantically tried to pull it out, his vision growing muddled, his hands slipping with blood until…

He blinked.

No stage. No sound. No pain.

Nothing around except for a single white door in front of him.

He stood up again, cautiously reaching for the doorknob.

When he entered he seemed to be in a vintage styled home. It was a kitchen with checkerboard flooring, a table with two chairs, and cheerful music playing through a small radio. It smelled of pastry and medical equipment. Suddenly, there was a knock coming from the door. A familiar voice called from behind it.

“I’m home, dear.” “J-Jeb?!”

Hofnarr rushed towards the front door. Christoff wasn’t trapped here too, was he? “Jeb! W-where are we!? What is this place? What happened to-”

As he opened the door, the clapping returned.

His husband was there, briefcase in hand, his face replaced with a black hole dripping with an unknown inky substance.

He slowly began to back away as “Jeb” moved closer.

The applause, the laughter, was deafening.

Before he could question or run away, Hofnarr was hit by something. His vision blurred, but refocused to be face-to-face with something. It seemed to be a shadow of himself. He tried to run again, but was pinned down by his doppelganger. The clone raised a clawed hand above him and then...

Like waking from a nightmare, Hofnarr quickly sat up once again. He gasped for air, dripping with cold sweat.

Was this really happening? Was it finally over? Was he free?

And then the spotlight focused on him again.

“It… got very surreal. Despite fight after fight, death after painful death... I would suddenly be somewhere else! There was a gameshow, our old apartment, a cat cafe, a... strip club of sorts, a tea room filled with these small armless doodles I used to draw on my research notes trying to offer me snacks… One time there was a sort of singing contest, but I won’t bore you with the details of that one. But when I wasn’t in those places, I felt like I was fighting for my life. It felt like an eternity! And the strangest part of it all? It… it became addicting.”

At first, he felt as if Hofnarr used all of his energy, physical and emotional, to fight back. It reminded him too much of his escape from Nexus. But as time went on, he focused less on escaping and more on surviving. The more he fought, the more he began to lose himself. He was anticipating what sudden whiplash of combat would be thrown at him next. He chuckled at the thought of what excitement would be heading his way. He wanted more. The fights became too slow. Too predictable. Too boring. He began toying with whatever was thrown at him. Turning his shadowy hunters into the hunted. Why let his audience watch the same old fights all the time?

Suddenly, the fighting stopped.

Why? 

He was having fun, wasn’t he? He grew impatient.

“WHAT’S THE HOLD UP!” He yelled into the void, seething with anger. “AREN’T WE SUPPOSED TO BE FIGHTING? ISN’T THAT WHAT I’M HERE FOR?!”

He stomped his foot down, lodging something out of the ground.

The stop sign.

He looked over it curiously. How familiar…

Grabbing hold of it, quick flashes of memories appeared to him.

Nexus, the Science Tower, Phobos, the Other Place… 

A man with long hair standing next to...

Hofnarr… 

Who was that? Was that him?

No…

Only Tricky remained.

Footsteps echoed throughout the halls of the abandoned lab. Heels quickly clicking, cautiously stopping every so often. A lone Nexus Core agent entered through one of the doors.

Perfect timing.

“HAY! YOU THERE!!” A voice stuttered and glitched out, reverberating through the emptiness of the lab. The quickly soldier whipped their head around. “YEAH! YOU, STUPID. PLAY WITH ME!!”

“Who’s there?” The agent pointed their magnum towards the noise. “Show yourself!”

Gladly. The cackling figure emerged from the shadows, posing with a peace-sign, causing the agent to recoil. He grinned, slowly moving towards the cowering goon on the ground. They wouldn’t stand a chance.

“Who are you!?”

They couldn’t kill him.

“FIGHT FIRST. ASK QUESTIONS LATER! AFTER ALL…” 

CAN’T KILL CLOWN.

“IT’S MURDER TIME!”

..

“My body had been there, regenerating and repeating the enmeshment process for years. And by the time I woke up, I was a completely different person. I became a creature of unfiltered impulse��� A personification of chaos itself.”

The room grew silent before Hofnarr spoke up again.

“I-Is it horrible to say it was… kind of cool?” He said with a nervous chuckle, twiddling his fingers.

2BDamned was quiet for a moment. They recalled the many times they had to stitch their comrades back together due to Clown Moments. They placed their head in their palms and let out a sigh.

“... You have the right to your own opinion.”

Follow up question <3 tell us about the Pastas.

- @maddgicalgirl

@maddgicalgirl So. :>

Wait b4 I get into that, idk how familiar you are with creepypasta (im assuming at least a little bit bc you asked this lol) but just to be safe: Creepypastas are internet horror stories, they're (imo) usually pretty sucky bc they're all written by 12yos, but whatever the fandom never sticks with Canon anyway. There's also the SlenderMansion AU (very popular, you've probably seen fanart of it) where the pastas all live together. Whos there depends in the person i guess? So for me its: Tim/Masky, Brian/Hoodie, Slender, Toby, Ben, Jeff, EJ, Jane, LJ, Smile Dog, Sally, and my parame Simon. Sometimes Jason & Slender's brothers are there, too.

I mostly daydream about Tim/Masky being my dad. and also Brian/Hoodie, being my other dad. They are Married <3

Tim is your typical tired dad, I guess? Him & Brian work for Slender with Toby (who've they also mentally adopted as their son/brother). Brian worries about everyone (he has anxiety) and is generally a mother hen ngl. Since I also mentioned Toby here (+ I want all the proxies together), he's a chaotic lil shithead but knows when to pull it together for serious situations. A more realistic version of the popular fanon, I guess.

If Tim is a Tired Dad then Slender is a Tired Grandpa <3 /j. He's the one that actually runs things & makes sure the pastas don't murder each other, especially Jeff & Jane. Its also hard to tell if he genuinely cares about the pastas or not - an elderitch being with no face is pretty good at hiding its true emotions, shocker ‐ but he does tolerate them living in his house, so. Probably? He secretly wants to be a dad let him have this.

Jeff.....has actually chilled out. Like. A Lot. I'm still toying with the idea of if he murdered his older brother, Liu, yet. Because if he didn't, then Liu would be a detective; but if he did, then Simon (my parame) would be able to see Liu (they're the para i mentioned that can see ghosts) & fix their relationship so Liu can move on. ANYWAY, personality-wise, he's still an ass but now its like. A Funny Asshole. Probably bc he spends to much time with LJ. He's also the primary caretaker of Smile Dog (he's a "family dog", but also Jeff's Dog, u know?).

Jane has also chilled out. In the sense that she isn't trying to murder Jeff on sight anymore. After some talking (and encouragement from Slender), they've decided to call it a truce (?) and more or less ignore each others existence unless necessary. It works surprisingly well.

Here's a post that kind of explains the gaming pastas ("Glitches" as they're called here), including Ben.

Sally is. just a lil 8yo baby we love her <3. She's also the only child living at the mansion & kind of likes it that way. She likes being the only Baby so all the attention is on her 💖

EJ is the mansions doctor! He was turned into a Demon before finishing med school, but Slender has plenty of medical books and its EJ's Special Inerest (listen....idc at this point. they all have adhd and/or autism. fight me) so he learned everything pretty quickly, which is good because its. a bunch of murders living together. What do you think happens daily.

I don't daydream about LJ that much idk why I listed him but yeah he's There he Does Things.

I'd talk about Simon but I've gone on long enough, that's like. a whole other post lmao.

Fallout Ask

12-16 & 23? 😁

Ehehehehe thank you for the ask!!

12. Favourite weapon?

Oh, in my first game I usually use a .44 pistol and a combat rifle, they're my go-to's. I don't have much skill other than "spam the trigger button until the enemies dead", and those work great.

13. brOTP?

My head has been full of thoughts about Danse and Cutler recently. A while ago I was gonna write an angsty fic about Danse and it ended up just being about his relationship with Cutler instead. Sort of disappointed I haven't found more fics/art/etc. going into their relationship.

Deacon and Tinker Tom, too. The fact that Tom managed to get Deacon (who's afraid of heights) on a vertibird, and then the two of them bickering like a married couple ("Tom, get us out of the airport!" "Great idea, Deacon. Why didn't I think of that?")

14. Favourite perk?

Fortune Finder and Scrounger are two I get early game - why sell things when you can just find caps for free??

Also lifegiver, I completely passed over it my first playthrough ("how much of a difference will 20 more health even do??") But just automatically healing in between fights is just *chefs kiss*

15. Favourite location?

Railroad HQ. It just feels so much like home, and every time the ambient music gets to a certain point I pause the game and just ;-;;-;-;-;

16. Least favourite location?

Boston Airport because I once spent 15 minutes trying to find the ferry Vertibird, couldn't find it, assumed my game had glitched, went through all the effort of closing the game and downloading a mod to craft vertibird grenades, and then as I looked for a chemistry station to craft the grenades I found the ferry Vertibird. /j

I actually have a strange videogame fear of water and radiation (yeah, Fallout isn't the best game for me) so any place with either of those is a no-go. I give places like Forest Grove Marsh a large breach, especially after I accidentally fell in a really deep water hole there. I never recovered emotionally.

23. Favourite headcanon?

I absolutely love crazy Deacon fan theories, like the "Deacon is Shaun" one. I'm also fairly intrigued by the "Desdemona killed the Patriot" one, even if it's obviously not true.

Real headcanons though? X6 painting, he's such a sweetie. Also Danse joining the minutemen (it's sort of canon, even though Danse's character arc sorta fell apart). I just want to see this man happy ;-;

[erigold13261]

sapient sayu is canon 😌

(This turned out longer than I thought it would because I started to ramble, whoops!)

Did you mean sentient? Because sapient means "wise or attempting to appear wise" while sentient means "able to perceive or feel things".

If not then I can actually see Sayu being/attempting to be wise in canon as ze is trying to give romance and life advice to Zuke. So ze does at least try to appear like ze knows a lot about love.

Sayu (and the crew) is definitely the type to read and watch anything about romance so that ze can have a good understanding of all different kinds of relationships. This would give mer the ability to answer mer fans' questions about love during Q&As.

Ze would be better to ask stuff about love than 1010 because Sayu would be helping couples or potential couples deal with their emotions while 1010 were made to BE the other part of the couple. 1010 are most likely not good with talking about how to be in a relationship or giving life advice because 1) they are robots without much life experience and 2) they were built to be the perfect partners for people, meaning they are more likely to give up their own wants and need for their partner. Sayu would tell mer fans they need to communicate and work together to make a relationship work while 1010 are basically like "you need to do everything your partner wants to show you love them and have little to no input" because that is what a lot of their fanbase wants from the perfect partner since they are so young (as in young adults and teenagers. Sayu's fanbase is also super young with teens but at least ze is built from teens so ze knows what teens want to hear and knows a bit of what they NEED to hear when it comes to relationships).

It's this romantic maturity that Sayu has that allows mer to SEEM wise, but in all honesty, I feel like Sayu and crew still need more life experience before being seen as actually wise. Sure they all can give some decent advice for relationships and potentially some life advice, but not nearly as good life advice that could come from someone older like Tatiana, Neon J, and potentially DJSS if they are willing to spare a few words of advice.

------------

Though if you meant sentient, I don't really see it in canon since Sayu is shown to be controlled by the crew and even in one of the last parts ze is glitching and switching from being loving to yelling at Zuke and May to leave (which I see as Tila accidentally bringing the mic too close to Sofa or Remi as they scream this).

However, that same scene COULD be used as evidence for sentient Sayu where ze was the one screaming at Zuke and May to leave while the crew tried to keep up the happy facade. I say this because I doubt Dodo would know when to switch movements to appear angry when Sayu started glitching. Sayu's movements as ze glitched showed Dodo's happy and energetic movements and then when ze started yelling they were more rough and firm. This would show that Sayu has at least a bit of sentience to mer and ze can go against the crew's input every now and then.

Or I am looking too deep and the crew has backup animations for Sayu that they use because at that point in the fight, all 4 were at Remi's desk messing with the drawing pad. I can see Sofa leaving Sayu on happy mode while Dodo turned off the mo-cap capture and Tila bringing her mic as they all fought together. Remi probably has some control over each part of Sayu to make sure everything is working together well, which would cause mer to start glitching from the fighting over Remi's station and show the angry Sayu that the crew is actively presenting over the preprogrammed happy Sayu that was presenting for most of the fight.

Hey! Any theories on the intro? And the upcoming fight with Oscar and Ironwood. I'm soooo excited 😖 gooo OSCAR!!😍

Hello again Luna. Well I don’t wish to discuss much out in the open since there are still folks who follow my blog and content who haven’t seen the episode as yet. So out of respect for them, I’m going to give my answer under cut.

Theories based on the intro. Whelp since the tradition since V6 is that RWBY opening sheds light on some of the story beats and subplots that will be focused on for part of the season, here’s what I’m anticipating is going to go down for V7:

Keeping Up with Best of the Best: 

JNR_RWBY will probably placed under the guidance and supervision of Atlesian Ace Ops who will more or less oversee their continued training as huntsmen.

We’ll probably have at least one episode or two in which our young heroes head out on missions  around Mantle and Solitas accompanying the Ace Ops in the field.  

While I’d love to see JNR_RWBY work alongside the Aces for more than one mission; if I’m going off the footage in the V7 opening and the V7 trailer,  the main mission will obviously be the one teased before in the trailer. The mission that takes place presumably in the Dust Mines of Atlas; infested with Centinal Grimm and another Geist Grimm.

Wouldnt surprise me if we got that mission episode between CH3 and 4 since I’m sure CH2 will involve the group being held in prison under firm interrogation until Ironwood arrives to bail them out (much like in @miki-13’s fanfic “Reconciliation”)

Oscar-Worthy: 

While JNR_RWBY will be out with Ace Ops, they’re not the only ones getting a taste of Atlas style of teaching. As shown, Oscar will remain in Atlas to be trained personally by Ironwood.

James and Oscar weren’t fighting. I guess this was more or less a little friendly sparring match for Ironwood to test just how far Oscar is in his training and skills as the successor to Oz.

Like you, I’m interested to see how this match will go. However at the same time, I’m not rooting for Oscar to win this one on one. On the contrary, I’m more anticipating Ironwood to wipe the floor with Oscar in their first match. He’ll probably go easy on him at first only to later take it up a notch and become more aggressive, forcing Oscar into a corner.I’m hoping this first fight between them is actually more…I guess serious when it comes to the actual episode. This opening makes it look like these two are play fighting and Ironwood is humouring Oscar. Don’t get me wrong. I want Ironwood to more or less be a good teacher to Oscar but at the same time, I don’t want him to coddle him either. Ironwood has been shown to be a hard boiled badass of a soldier. A man who singlehandedly slam-dunked a charging Beowolf with one hand and shot it straight through the neck with his other hand.

Let that guy teach Oscar a thing or two on what it’s light to be a warrior. War is nothing to take lightly. One slip up—even the tiniest of them can easily open the door to victory or failure. I can see Ironwood drilling that lesson into Oscar very firmly.

One thing I’m also hoping for is that there will be an audience there to show Oscar support during his sparring match with Oscar. I know JNR_RWBY will be mostly out in the field but I think it’d be cute to have someone there on Oscar’s behalf to cheer him on and help him up after Ironwood kicks his ass the first time.

With Ironwood training Oscar for V7, I’m hoping for V7 that we can at least get one Oscar-worthy episode where he is the focal point or key driver of the chapter. 

Similar to how we had the Jaundice multi-part episodes back during V1, it would be pretty great if Oscar got his own ‘Oscar-worthy’-titled episode that focuses heavily on his feelings handling everything (leaving home, the events of Mistral and Haven, Jinn’s story, Ozpin’s isolation, etc)  while additionally trying to keep up with Ironwood’s rigourous training regiment which the poor boy unfortunately struggles with in the beginning.

As a matter of fact, one thing I’m anticipating for with Ironwood training Oscar is the show highlighting Oscar struggling at first. I understand that Oscar’s whole thing is that he picks up things fast while also being expected to inherit Oz’s muscle memory; which we’ve seen him achieve.

That being said, I hope it’s not another example of the Writers neglecting to portray Oscar as his own character first and foremost.It still bothers me that after two seasons, we still don’t know much about Oscar’s true thoughts and how he feels. 

For the most part we’ve just seen him humbly accept everything that’s happened to him since the events of V4 and be perfectly comfortable with being puppeteered around by Ozpin while signing away his life to being another for Ozma to live through.

…Yep. Oscar has been with with the heroes for 48-49 days (1 month, 2 weeks and 4 days since V4 to V6, according to the RWBY timeline)  since he first left his presumably sheltered life back in Mistral and he’s just fine with all that’s happened since then. Uh huh. That’s what the show and the CRWBY Writers want me to wholeheartedly believe. Sure. 

It was especially worse last season where Oscar was supposed to be a focal figure of the season, like Ozpin, but the Writers once again overlooked him in favour of other characters (including ones who weren’t relevant to the main plot of that season). 

This is why I believe an Oscar-worthy episode isn’t only warranted by strongly needed at this point. What could be even better is if that episode is used to spark a close friendship and potential brotherhood between Oscar and Jaune. 

Why I want an episode where Oscar is seen struggling with his training and/or slowly beginning to fall apart from the pressures of everything around him to the point of frustration is because I can see it parallelling Jaundice where Jaune suffered through the same emotional struggles.

Jaune have come a long, long way from the whimpy kid he started off as. Perhaps he could use his experience to help and/or guide Oscar when he falters. 

I believe it was mentioned in an interview with M&K that Oscar might share a similar story beat to Jaune when he first started out.  I hope this means we’ll get to see Oscar go through an Jaundice-esque type of experience which in turn will prompt Jaune to want to help him since he sees his old self mirrored in Oscar. It’d be even nicer if this is followed up by Jaune offering to have practice sessions with Oscar to help him with improving his fighting technique. 

While I’d still love for Ruby to be the one to help Oscar with his training, I feel like it’d be more meaningful if Jaune offers to help Oscar similar to how Pyrhha once offered to help him back in V1.

I’ve been waiting for a moment where Jaune becomes a big brother/ mentor type character to Oscar since V5.

Plus if Oscar is indeed destined to join JNR (as the opening alluded to), this would be a nice way to have Oscar and Jaune bond to build into the potential of them eventually become teammates and brothers in arms.

I’d love it if we get a moment where Jaune and Oscar are training together while Nora, Ren and even Ruby observe from a far.

Having RNJR be a part of Oscar’s training and development as a fighter is a nice callback to V5 where the five of them were being trained under Oz’s watch and guidance.

Plus this could provide another example of RNJR becoming Oscar’s Golden Circle of close confidantes.I’m seeing more and more signs of the Golden Circle being a canonical possibility as the series feeds me more evidence for my Pinehead headcanon.

I hope they don’t stop for V7. I really want to see RNJR become Oscar’s main group. JNR as his potential huntsman team and surrogate family and Ruby as Oscar’s best friend, most trusted companion and of course, his potential love interest (maybe).

So yeah it’d be nice if Oscar training Ironwood is a sign he might have his own Jaundice-esque episode that focuses on him and his growing friendship with RNJR. I mean it’d be nice if one of the episodes gave us that for him this season. 

But given the Writers’ track recording on dishing those out; that’s wishful thinking. Ey who knows?

Schnee Family Affairs: 

Judging by the fact that they are featured in the intro, apparently Weiss is going to have to confront the conflicts with her that she left behind in V4. This also seems to be tied into something to do with the Crimes of the SDC. As alluded to the audience during the World of Remnant episode on the Schnee Dust Company, the company has committed one or two nefarious deeds under Jacques Schnee’s leadership. 

The intro also highlighted the new Robyn Hill character looking at tele-ad of Ironwood which later glitches to Jacques.This makes me wonder something curious but I’ll save it for my musing post. 

All I will say for now is that there is a definitely a connection between this Hill character, Ironwood and Jacques Schnee. It can also be noted that Qrow will meet Hill face to face. My theory on that is that James will probably task Qrow to investigate some strange things going down in Mantle that’s connected to Hill. 

My hunch with that is that Hill is the prime suspect in some reported mishaps down in Mantle when the reality is that it’s Tyrian Callows who's been causing trouble on Watts behalf. 

That’s my hunch. Speaking of Watts.

Watts’ Mole?

In the opening Watts is seen observing an image of the Ace Ops. This got me curious about that. Why show a shot of Watts eyeballing them specifically of all things with a smirk on his face?

This made me consider two theories as a rationale. Either Watts is watching the Ace Ops because he plans on using them and their influence on the People of Atlas as possibly their finest soldiers to once again humiliate and mock the strength and integrity of Atlas’ Kingdom to the rest of the world; as it was done back during the Vytal Festival.

Or…the Ace Ops or at least ONE of their members is secretly in cohoots with Watts. While I understand that Watts’ gig is that he’s a genius, what if…he had a secret accomplice among the ranks of the Ace Ops who has been feeding him valuable Atlas intel that he then used against the Atlesian military.

We can assume that Watts’ was exiled from Atlas for reasons. But imagine if before being banished, Watts had a family? Like imagine if...Watts is also a dad and one of the Ace Ops members is secretly his kid who he was forced to leave behind when he was banished. Watts then reunited with said child and together the two have been working together to enact their revenge and said child is in the Ace Ops and has been feeding Watts valuable info to help with his schemes for years; including the Fall of Beacon.I could be completely wrong about Watts having a kid in the Ace Ops but…who knows. Let’s leave it on the table for now.

Attack on Mantle: 

This shot makes me think that at some point for the V7 Finale, something big is going to go down in Mantle. Like there might be some big attack. Maybe Watts will create a stronger virus that’ll once again take over all mechanical lifeforms down in Atlas and the robot soldiers (inclusive of Penny 2.0 possibly) will suddenly turn fire on the innocent civilians, sending the People of Mantle into a frenzied panic which in turn will bring forth an army of Grimm to reign down on the Surface Kingdom. It might even attract another big Grimm.

Last time for V6, we got an underused Kaijuu Grimm. Perhaps this round we’ll get an Artic Yeti or Abominable Snowman type of Grimm. Who knows. 

The Relic of Creation: 

Well…we saw it clear as day in the opening. So we can bet the Relic of Creation will be a factor this season. I’m curious to see how Atlas uses this Relic since my hunch is that part of the reason why Atlas has been able to advance so much is due in part to them using the power of Relic of Creation. And since we saw the Relic, I wonder if this means we’ll get a teaser of the identity of the Winter Maiden and the Vault of the Winter Maiden.

Penny: 

... As much as Penny’s shining smile in the opening brightens me up every time I see it, I can’t help but feel uneasy about that. I’ll talk more about on that later in a future musing post. 

No Fire and Icecream? 

Another thing to point out in the V7 opening is the lack of Cinder or Neo.

Even though they were teased heading toward Atlas at the end of V6, the V7 opening showed nothing of them. This makes me wonder if the two are even going to appear at all this season.

I mean take Adam Taurus for example. Even though Adam Taurus didn't appear until the later half of V6, he was still featured in the V6 opening.

Cinder and Neo; nowhere to be found in V7′s opening. This leads me to believe that we may not see these two at all for V7. Then again, it was said in another interview with the Writers that we’ll be learning about Cinder’s past at some point. I can’t remember if it was teased for V7 or a future season.

Either way I can’t really think that she’ll be a character for V7 since she wasn’t shown. 

The same can be said about Salem’s army of Winged Beringels sent after Oz at the end of V6.

I guess they won’t be a factor for V7 either. I guess they’ll be saved for V8 (which is actually a good call).

Speaking of Oz, he was also omitted from this opening. Makes me wonder how much of a presence he’ll have this season.

I’m at least hoping for a thing where Oz comes back a bit for Oscar’s sake. Like maybe he and Oscar sort of reconcile but Oz doesn't take over Oscar’s body anymore. Instead he just plays a voice of guidance to him at times. I wouldn’t mind if Oz was relegated to that role for Oscar’s development. I want V7 to focus on Oscar since his side of things is often overlooked so much. He needs to be a focus.

Love is the Key: 

Looking at how much times it was mentioned in the opening, it may seem that love is a central theme for this season.

It also seems like the lyrics to the V7 Opening might be alluding the Fox’s lesson from the Little Prince. Interesting.

With all this talk about love, I hope this means that romance is in the air for some of our young heroes.

I know we’re more likely to see love in the form of friendship (platonic love), family (familial love) devotion and responsibility to another person. But regardless of this, this squiggle meister is hoping for cupid to rear his fat naked ass and prick some of our heroes with a dose of love straight through the heart.

I want to see some of our characters fall in love with each other (particularly a certain pair of rosebuds who’ve been shown to really care about one another despite only knowing each other for 49 days and have been pretty chummy these past two seasons---just saying).

And yeah, that’s it. That’s all the theories I have for now based on the V7 opening. Anymore that pop up, I’ll just share in a musing or headcanon post. Hope that answers your question, fam.

Which aspirations do you enjoy playing most and least?

cant blv i forgot about this gr8 ask! let me go all out and do a full ranking

8. family🍼: well u all saw that coming. in 20+ generations of Unions i’ve had a family heir exactly one time and he had a fully autonomous, lifelong affair with his stepmother. i’ve never had a family sim who was, not even gonna say ‘good’, literally just a decent parent, so i’ve truly gotten shit out of this aspiration. for one shining moment it looked like Wyatt was gonna be the one to break the curse but i’m not even gonna acknowledge him now bc he is dead to me

7. popularity☎️: a good idea that was executed in the lamest way possible. from the boring regular wants, to the indescribable lifetime ones, to the fact it’s impossible to play it successfully without making the sim a pathological phone-glued freak, popularity is a sad waste of potential. if they had combined it with the scrapped power aspiration it could actually have some bite and be interesting instead of endless friend-making for friend-making’s sake. its one and only redeeming factor: mean popularity sims 

6. pleasure🌆: the most ~high concept aspiration is also the most hit or miss one, and on sims without the personality to pull it off it can be the blandest one. on top of getting a meh sim, the aspiration points its wishes grant are crumbs, so a lot of times it feels half-baked and makes a better secondary than primary. all that said some of my favorite sims ever have been pleasure, so with the rare right sim none of the above really matters, especially if they roll one of the iconic date ltws 

5. grilled cheese🧀: a cute joke that went way too far but damn if finishing the 200 sandwiches ltw isn’t one of the most fulfilling moments in the entire game

4. grow up🎠: easy, straightforward and relateable as hell. what’s not to like

3. knowledge👽: knowledge is a weird case bc at first glance it looks like it should be chilling at the bottom of the barrel, yet it somehow almost always makes for good gameplay. it’s prob a trifecta of a) being pretty ‘open’ as far as characterization goes, b) a few cool premades making it interesting by association and c) having both fun wants (aliens/ghosts/grim reaper) + high paying careers with some of the best rewards. it’s very well-rounded overall, its only real drawback being that without a more extroverted secondary/living with other sims with such an asp, it gets really boring, really fast. like a house full of knowledge sims a la Curious bros is my literal nightmare. not even alien babies could save that lot

2. romance🔥: the best thing about the romance aspiration is what ultimately dooms it to second place: it was designed to be the most fun one, which it def is, and like most fun things, it’s reaaally hard to keep it up. this has mostly to do with how child-centric the game is, as in there’s simply not enough to do with a single-sim household after a certain point, and i really don’t like forcing romance sims to settle down against their will. ofc there are some exceptions like Gunther rolling the want to get engaged to Brit Brit, but these are so rare, world-shattering, one-in-a-million moments that they might as well be a glitch. to play the typical romance sim in a legacy context without feeling like u’re torturing them or having them cheat, u eventually have to water them down with a family-secondary icecube. so basically the romance aspiration suffers from being in a game that’s not designed to support it long-term, and while it is the funnest one, it falls short of being the total package, unlike……

1. fortune💸: i started answering this ask expecting a grand dilemma bw romance and fortune for the top spot, but it turns out that was just some residual effect of the contentious Gunther/Jojo vote and fortune is hands down my favorite aspiration. like now that i’ve carefully pondered it to a truly embarrassing degree, it’s not even close. on top of being the aspiration most commonly found in my premade hall of fame [Consort, Jessica P. (who btw is canon gay, wake up people), Dina, Dirk, Malcolm L, Gvaudoin, Frances J et al] and ofc, the aspiration of the queen of my heart, Vicky Union, fortune gives me everything i want gameplay-wise: it’s perfect for legacies without forcing u to have copious amounts of children like family and perfect for the mean sims i always get without requiring they be socially competent like romance. the sims are relatively easy to keep happy without being boring + the wants have a good asp points output+ there’s doable ltws and 2 of the most challenging ones in the entire game. finally it’s literally the only aspiration that can make sense with all the other ones both as secondaries AND as romantic pairings, i mean go ahead and try it, shit’s unreal. so at the end of the day fortune wins out over romance bc it’s more versatile and works better in the long haul, which is ~what legacies are all about~ also u kno. u never forget ur first love

30 questions: GW2 Edition

This can be done in many different ways: get asks by your followers, pick some questions for yourself, answer the whole damn thing at once, etc!

You can draw, write (to explain in details or not) or just post screenshots! If you miss one it’s totally okay, whether it’s by lack of answer or time. Have fun!

I was tagged by @brax-was-here​

Only going to choose a few questions here....j/k I answered all of them. Couldn’t pick and choose. 1: Favorite living world season? Probably LW Season 4. Maps were fun, and interesting to explore. 2: Favorite expansion? Heart of Thorns. The maps were fascinating in their difficulty and intricacy. 3: Favorite soundtrack? Attack on Tarir. Love that swashbuckling sound to it. 4: First profession you played? Thief 5: First race you played? Sylvari 6: Favorite Destiny's Edge character? Logan, ironically. But then I never liked any of them that much so it's a near thing. 7: Favorite Dragon's Watch character? Taimi. Protect the munchkin. 8: Favorite Elder Dragon? Used to be Kralkatorrik, because he was so damned big, and learning of his internal struggle was kind of heartbreaking... but I have to give it to the Big Blue right now. Jormag. It's the only ED other than Aurene that I'd probably want to sit and chat with about the world...and that would be my downfall I think. 9: Best boss fight (story)? Mordremoth, in the Dragon Stand meta. Unbelievably cool and fun. 10: Best boss fight (fractal)? I've only done a few fractals but the one that interested me the most was the Fall of the Sunspears one. I forget the name of the boss though, since I've only done it once. 11: Best boss fight (raid)? Never did Raids. 12: PvE or PvP or RP? PvE. I can do RP, or slightly OOC RP, but it happens very rarely. 13: Favorite canon couple? Torn between the Olmakhan charr couple sightseeing in Labrynthine Cliffs, and the Norn and human spirits Yngvild and Nicholas in the Domain of the Lost. 14: Favorite fanon/self made couple? Gotta go with my own; Cyrus and Moryggan with their almost-relationship, or Kaleb and Miriya with their ACTUAL relationship. 15: Favorite quote? "Fear not; the world will not forget you. The scars you've gouged into its surface spell out your name for all to see." 16: Most emotional cinematic? Either Aurene's ascension, or Joko's speech. One had me joyful and sad at the same time... the other had me seething with rage and upset that he was RIGHT. 17: Favorite VA? Tara Strong, John DiMaggio, Fred Tatasciore, Nolan North. Those are just the ones at the top of the list; so many good ones in game! 18: Post a fun screenshot! Torn between this BEST Glitch....

...and this hilarious chat I saw in Jahai during the Death-touched Shatterer.

19: Post a landscape screenshot! Tarir! The first time I got there and looked up. Just gorgeous....

20: Most used mount(s)? Skyscale or Raptor. 21: Favorite mount skin (for every mount you have)? Mordrem Alpha Wolf. It'll be that till I get some of the demon-style skins for the others. 22: Favorite weapon? Stormcaller or Tengu weapons. They just look so damned cool. 23: Favorite gear set? Magitech medium set, Warbeast, and Bounty Hunter. 24: Favorite title? The Executioner 25: Something you worked really hard to get? Finishing the Requiem Armor questline. That took FOREVER....and I still gotta get the skins from the merchant for the rest. 26: Favorite GW2 Youtuber / GW2 related video? Torn between Roelski's video of all Joko Statue quotes in Kourna... and Affably Evil's "Scarlet Briar: Everybody Wants to Rule the World." The latter still gives me chills. 27: Most used miniature? Riftstalker, and Mini Ghostly Cat. 28: Most used novelty? Chairs of all kinds. Though I use the Endless Friendship Tonic as well sometimes. Really like the Desert King Throne and the Ice Throne because of the character poses. 29: Number of achievements points? 12,419 30: Something you’d love to see in GW2? Scarlet Briar's return, or evidence that her experiments and personal reach was MUCH farther than anyone could have known. I also wouldn't be adverse to having a personal airship to fly around somewhere. Tagging: @canid-slashclaw​ , @intern-seraph​ , @resonatingfern​ , @lesbiancharr​ , @mavelleofdawn​ , and @ anyone else who wants to do this cuz there’s so many names on my list and I don’t know who’s been tagged already. You’re on my list, so do it!

[acircusfullofdemons]

Wasn't technically tagged but I haven't talked about ships yet....also! I like coming up with ship names that ARENT just a Mashup of the characters names, bc thats boring af. So enjoy my horrible puns.

FAV ROMANCE

Circus Demon [Rowan/Calypso] I will bully you into shipping them i swear to fucking god— (/j). They are both "best friends to lovers" & jock/nerd (my one true weakness) in ONE. Idk man its something about the way Rowan acts annoyed (but not really) whenever he interacts with Cali.....tsudere type beat.

FAVE FRIENDSHIP

SUNSHINE [ROWAN & BLAIR & KELLY].....aka my og trio ::3 its literally just the "its hard being a single mom when you're a male teenager with no kids" meme/post bc Rowan's 17, Kelly is 12 & Blair is like, 3.

The other one that quickly one my heart (& by that I mean I fell in love with it the moment I thought of Harleys name) is Harley & Rowan! They're cousins but have more of a brotherly relationship n its so cute....I lov them.

CRACKSHIP

They're all crackships bc they're all on crack LMAO. I guess Macaroni & Wires [Macbeth & Glitch] since I always go back n forth on if I should ship them or not. I mean, they're funny sometimes, but mostly super toxic.

NOTP

Macbeth & Rowan....idk why but I thought of it a long time ago and still have regrets to this day. Actually, anyone with Macbeth or Glitch is a NOTP, including when I ship them!

ENEMIES TO LOVERS

I don't really like this trope so I don't think any of my paras fit it?? Closest I can think of is Macbeth/Glitch but like I said, I don't really ship them & they're pretty toxic....

NON CANON SHIP

Chaotic Evil [Jane/Rowan]....they used to be married in an older version (Jace was also their kid!) but their personalities work better as friends (well, that, and I'm too much of a Circus Demon stan lol).

Paracosm Shipping Meme!

Tell me (or show me!) who in your paracosm…

Favorite romance (OTP or OT3+)

Friendship (BroTP)

The “it would never happen BUT CAN YOU IMAGINE??” (Crackship)

NOTP

Enemies to lovers

Favorite ship that never happens in the main narrative (Noncanon ship)

@paraesthetics @sugarcoatedsadism @dreamyblur @dreaminpeaches @arkohs I’ll be completing it shortly as well! Feel free to reblog with your own additions of ship prompts and dynamics, and to tag other MaDDers 💗
