#this one was kinda weird but funny and fun for me to write and... yea!

[aka-indulgence]

Excuse the rambling but I got back into the tf Brandon earlier this year and, honestly, it’s kinda funny seeing so many of my favourite internet stars revealing that, yea, they are also transformers fans and, yes, the robots are attractive.

I think you’re the third since the TF one movie came out? Anyway-

One of the reasons I love TFP Soundwave is that, even among cybertronians he’s strange. An outlier. I know you aren’t familiar with the comics but Outlier is also a term for cybertronians who have an ability. Basically, Soundwave can read minds. Even more interesting is that Shockwave (before the whole Empurata) was protecting and learning about outliers. I find both of their characters absaloutly fascinating.

I’m writing my own fic for Megs and Sounders (prewar so BUFF GLADIATORS BABY) and I’m kinda sewing together this quilt made up of so many different continuities.

Soundwave in himself is one of the most powerful Decepticons. He is the con that gets the job done, fixes mistakes and scares the crap out of everyone.

Also, cannon fun fact, his favorite animal is elephants. Absaloutly adores them.

(fanfic owo?)

YEAH!! THATS ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS ABOUT TFP SOUNDWAVE AND WHY IM SO 😳 ABOUT HIM

I don’t read the comics but even though they don’t say it outright in the show I love how everyone acts weird about Soundwave, he’s so weird among cybertronians and he’s p creepy too, my favorite ehhe//

I know G1 Soundwave could mindread and TFP Soundwave uses his tentacles to transfer information, but does every Soundwave mind read? Also pre-empurata Shockwave 👁️👁️

“Soundwave is one of the most powerful Decepticons” is another thing that makes me blush about him hfjhg… he is. SO competent among the Decepticons, I read comments saying if Soundwave isn’t in the group they kinda fumble around.

Another thing about Soundwave I love in TFP if someone else is on the job, for me it’s 50-50 whether the Autobots or Decepticons win, but if Soundwave’s there I go “oh no. The Decepticons are going to get the Thing™”

HE’S JUST TOO GOOD AT HIS JOB HE HOLDS ALL THE BRAINCELLS (until Shockwave arrives)

I’m actually about to watch TF One soon hehe so I’m excited :D

[acuar-io]

I agree with anon!

Also i think the person said sorry and it was bad joke. You're kinda being a hypocrite because you don't like people slut shamming but youre shaming someone for writing sexual fanfiction. Real and fictional chacters. Like you Let people do what they want. It's a free country and it's not real life shit it's all for fun anyways.

So I got these asks and was tagged in a call out post by the first person…I just want to make something clear:

I am not shaming earthchica for writing erotica…I just found the whole thing ironic considering they write erotica and call themselves a slut for celebrity men they write fanfic abt all while agreeing w. an anon who slut shamed Madi’s sim and called her vulgar and unclassy. That’s why earthchica’s “joke” fell flat and made Madi uncomfortable. She (Madi) already deleted the post because the conversation kept dragging in the comments I’m sure that was overwhelming for her.

I don’t know why what I said is getting blown out of proportion? Maybe it’s because I’m just very dry and straightforward when I speak? It’s probably the audhd? 🤷 also just the whole joking around about a woman being a slut even if she’s a pixel…just really fucking weird!!!

I don’t think this situation deserved a call out post either like okay…no one interact with that pls just block and move on because the person even dm it to me lol.

Earthachica’s joke wasn’t funny clearly not to Madi or me or anyone in the comments that was grossed out by it, because saying u agree w. The anon who sent the hate in the first place…immediately killed the joke.

Here is the ORIGINAL ask btw since people want to leave things out. this is what earthchica was agreeing with (as a joke) *this is the ask Madi received abt her sim*

In my opinion, making a joke like that w someone u dont know on the Internet?? Yea it can be taken wrongly just like it did here. I blocked her after I said “no one laughed” so idk why you people are in my ask box looking for me to have a change of heart or something? Be disappointed all you want but I don’t care to. u Can just block me and move on.

Now, can you leave me and my mutuals alone? Thank u🩷

May I request a smut piece with Rook Hunt? (AFAB please) It's pretty sentimental, so be warned!

I'd like to see how Rook would react to Reader talking about how they want their first time to be like.

When night falls above Ramshackle, MC confides in Rook her deepest desires. Dreamily she whispers into his ear how she wants to make love to him. In her vision two lovers would look into each other's eyes with passion and longing as they kissed and touched with all of their pent up feelings. She wants to show him how beautiful it all is. How pure it can be. To be utterly cherished and loved.

I Want To Know What Love Is

Notes: I’ve been listening to Rock of Ages so that excuses the title. I thought it was funny and fit the prmompt ok. I had fun writing this, I really hope you like it! It is my first time writing smut other than when i was like 12 and thought it was “cool”, so I apologize if it seems kind of weird or cringe in parts

MINORS DNI, 18+ ONLY

Character: Rook Hunt

Warnings: Smut, fingering, Dom!Rook, sub!reader, kinda cringe towards the end I tried but yea. I don’t think its that bad

F!Reader

You knocked on the door to Rooks dorm, waiting for him to answer. Luckily, you didn’t have to wait long, because almost immediately after you knocked, the door opened and there stood the Pomefiore Vice Housewarden, and hunter, Rook. He had a smile on his face as he saw you, “Ahh! Mon Cherie, come in!” He exclaimed as he motioned you to walk in. “To what do I owe the pleasure of having you come and visit me?” Rook questioned you as he shut the door. You hummed as you walked around the boy's dorm room, taking it in. Rook motioned for you to sit on the bed, which you did, and he sat next to you.

You looked at Rook. The huntsman probably knew why you were here and that you wanted something. After all, he made it practically his life's work to know everything about everybody. Maybe Rook knew you wanted something, but perhaps he doesn’t know exactly what. “Come here,” you said gently as you scooted towards the blonde boy and leaned to his ear, “I want to make love with you. I want us to give each other looks of passion, to touch each other's bodies, to cry each other's names from pleasure. I want to show you how beautiful and amazing love is.” You explained to the boy beside you with a dreamy and sweet tone. “I want to be cherished and loved by you, Rook. To see how beautiful everything is. How you’d feel inside me, how your fingers will trace against my body, how passionate a kiss we can share.”

The Vice Housewarden looked at you, not in shock, but in desire. He felt his pants tighten, the words you said getting to him. Oh, how he’d have longed to do all of those things with you, and now you were here, asking him for it, letting all of your desires out in front of him. “So direct. Of course, Mon cherie,” Rook agreed as he cupped your face with one hand and pushed you toward him, leaving a small distance between you two. He licked his lips slightly before he closed the space, wrapping you in a soft yet passionate kiss. The feel of his soft lips on yours was like heaven. You slightly parted your lips allowing Rook’s tongue to slip inside. Emitting a small moan out of your mouth.

Amid your kiss, Rook used his hand that wasn’t cupping your cheek to traverse down your body and slowly unbutton your shirt. Never-ending your kiss, Rook slid off your shirt and unclasped your bra single-handedly. After your top was completely bare, Rook slid his hands down your body, stopping to squeeze your tits, making you moan into his mouth. He couldn’t lie he enjoyed watching you moan into the kiss you two shared. It made him want to do it again, which he did. Rook gave your breasts another nice squeeze as you moaned again in response. He broke away from the makeout session you two had, a smile on his lips, “Oh, mon cherie you sound beautiful, how will I be able to stop when you sound so wondrous,” he expressed as he moved his hands down your body, making you shiver at the contact.

Rook got to your hips, and he slowly pulled your skirt down, revealing lacy underwear. But before he did anything else, Rook backed away, making you whine, “You’re so beautiful, you know. Nothing can compare to you,” Rook praised you as he began to take his clothes off. First his jacket and shirt, then pants, leaving him in nothing but his boxers. Rook grabbed your legs, wrapping them around his waist, making your back fall onto the mattress you gasped in shock as he leaned back down and kissed you again, enjoying the feel of your lips on his. It was like heaven, and he hadn’t gotten to the best part yet.

Practically as soon as he kissed you, Rook traveled his hands down your body again, feeling your sides, stomach, everything. Once he got to your lower regions, Rook dove one hand under your panties and began to rub your clit, forcing a moan out of your lips, and used his other hand to take off your underwear and trail the hand along your thigh. Rook pulled away from the kiss as you tried to pull toward him, not wanting it to end. You saw the sweet smile of the man who was on top of you, and you let out a sharp moan as you felt Rook push on one of his fingers inside of your sex. He slowly began thrusting his finger in and out, watching you moan softly from the pleasure he gave you. “Beautiful,” he softly whispered.

Rook inserted another finger, watching you gasp at the stimulation he was giving you. It was like a show. The way you moved under him, how your gasps and moans sounded, it was music to his ears. He began to pick up his pace, seeing your breasts bounce a little. Rook leaned down and began to suck on one of your nipples, making you emit another loud moan. “Rook~!” You cried out, which made him enjoy what he was doing all the more.

Rook continued to move his fingers at a fast past in and out of you, watching you moan and squirm. He felt your walls clenching around him as he smirked. “Are you close, Mon amour?” Rook asked, almost teasingly, as he inserted a third finger into you, making you let out a gasp as you nodded, “yes!” you moaned as Rook gave you a quick kiss before he quickened his pace again, watching you squirm underneath him. “Then cum, mon cherie,” Rook seductively told you as he hit your g-spot over and over, making you reach your climax as you let out a loud moan.

The Vice housewarden quickly took his fingers out of your sex and licked your juices off, “Was it how you desired, mon amour?” Rook asked you as you nodded to the boy, smiling at him. “You were right. Love is a beautiful thing that I get to share with you,” Rook continued to speak as he gave you another kiss.

Hi,there. I'm quite new here so I'm gonna ask you a question and your opinion? What do you think of projek high council actually? Because im trying to spread the fandom around to some people actually and it has potential to grow as a fandom everyone no matter what country they are enjoys it,also do you have any headcanons about projek high council if so please tell me what the headcanons are.

hi!

omg same! im also a new user lol

i like the show A LOT. idk how to say this but the show feels like a place to me to vent? like i understand what those characters were feeling because i also had gone pretty much the same thing (maybe not 100% the same but kinda similar). and oh my god the characters dude. THE CHARACTERS. im in love with corruption trope, like im obsessed. you see, fakhri was playing a hero at first, but then slowly acted like kahar. isn't it ironic that he became something that he hate before? talking about kahar, im really curious about his backstory! thank god there will be a movie about him (IM FUCKING EXCITED). ayam is a mood, i love every time he appeared on the screen. okay this is getting long lol im so sorry. anyways, i was expecting a sad ending due to the show being so depressing (i thought naim was gonna die wtf pls dont do that again) but im glad that we got a happy ending! (im a sucker for happy ending lmao) overall, i really like the writing, it's really well done. the pacing is perfect, good casts. i don't really watch a lot of Malay dramas so i cant really compare. but PHC is one of my top series now hehe. though im not sure if everyone knows this but this show might seem a bit unrealistic cuz the higher ups being involved and like there were a lot of things going on, it's actually real. it happened and is happening right now. hell, even in the public university, they still apply this high council shit.

if the producers decide to air the show globally, it could reach some international audience. maybe not a lot, but im pretty sure some people will be more invested.

hm my headcanons?

i don't remember which ep, but it was the one where kahar accidentally pushed (or kicked? im not sure) ayam and led to ayam be in a coma. they did show kahar got traumatised by that but not enough for me lol. so yea, i imagine kahar doesnt dare to look himself in the mirror because he almost killed someone. yea sure, he bullied a lot of people, misusing his power, but he was never a killer. he still has that humanity in him.

and i also imagine him having a rough childhood due to how his dad treated him. you know, constantly being compared to his brothers, thats not very nice. so kahar just swallowed the hate to idk make himself felt full? my headcanons are pretty weird i apologise

and also, since naim and fakhri are on the good terms now, im pretty sure they are awkward around each other at first. cmon, they were on each others' throat, didnt wanna breath the same air. NO WAY theyre gonna hold hands and scream "yay we're a happy family now!" like no. i know damn well that most of the time they don't even talk, but then something random happens and that will be their topic. like fakhri doesn't know how to decorate, then naim will make fun of him or saying something like "ish kau ni, benda senang pun tak boleh buat ke?" naim doesnt mean anything, it just becomes a light banter? so sorry for my bad eng and the fact that you have to read all this...

ohhhh and hakeem! it's actually funny how hakeem is the closest friend to kahar lol. i think they became friends in an unexpected way, but because of that, they became even closer. and it's actually comforting when theres someone who's willingly to become a friend with kahar without any malicious intent!

ahh thank you for the ask! im sorry for making this ans long 🙏 have a good day!

[starcrossedxwriter]

I don’t know if you’ve been asked this before, or if you’ve answered this, but has anyone ever asked Michael or Charlotte where the nickname Honeybee came from? I just thought of that and it tickled me cause how would they answer that with a straight face.

Ok I love this question and I hope you see this, anon! Sorry it took me sooo long but I wanted to write something out cause I thought this was so cute lol and to answer your question, they definitely didn't keep a straight face hahaha Michael's been on Graham Norton a couple times and his interviews were so cute and he is so funny so enjoyyyy!

***

“I’m very excited to have you both on the couch at the same time, Michael and Charlotte. Here to promote Creed III, which is in theaters next week. I’ve had you both here separately but this is a treat to have you both here,” Graham Norton offered, the studio crowd applauding the couple. 

“Thanks man, it’s always a good time here,” Michael responded, Charlotte nodding in agreement. 

“So Creed III out next week. Your directorial debut, which is awesome. Congrats to you, Michael. But I have to ask you, Charlotte, what’s it like being directed by your husband? Is that weird having him boss you around on set? Did you give him a hard time?” 

Charlotte laughed. “You know, actually it was pretty fun. Not sure how other people feel… working with their husbands but I loved it. You know we’ve been doing these movies and playing Bianca and Adonis for almost a decade. And as these characters have grown and evolved so have we and our relationship. So we have developed a short hand and ease on set with each other that made it easier. It also helps when your pillow talk is with the director,” she chuckled. “I kinda had an idea of the shots he wanted at times and could adjust to make sure I was doing my part to help him get it. Honestly, I just felt proud and so excited for my husband in real life getting to watch him achieve his dreams. I would just watch him sometimes on set and think 'damn, that's my man.' It was fun." 

“That’s really sweet. What’s the most annoying thing she did on set?” He asked Michael. 

Charlotte playfully raised her eyebrow as Michael rubbed his chin.

“You tryin’ to get me in trouble, huh??” He chuckled with a jokingly nervous energy. “Nah, she has always been like this but she is clumsy as hell - in character and in real life. So more than once, we'd get like a perfect take and then she'd just trip over like… air and we had to redo it."

Charlotte covered her face with her hand in embarrassment as Graham, the other guests, and the crowd laughed. 

“Is that true?” 

“1000%. I drop everything, I trip alllllllll the time. It’s pretty wild that it hasn’t happened more on red carpets and stuff honestly. And I break a lot of stuff too,” she added, her shoulders shrugging lightly. “I’m worse than our kids and we have twin boys so that’s saying a lot.” 

“Wow… so I imagine it’s gotta be weird giving feedback and getting it from your husband? How’d that go over?” 

“You know she’s pretty perfect so I never gave her anything other than glowing praise,” Michael interjected with his award-winning smile that had every woman in the crowd swooning. 

“Awww, that’s so sweet. And a complete lie,” Charlotte answered playfully, causing the entire crowd to laugh. “I will say, he was very good at giving constructive feedback but I could always tell what kinda feedback was coming just by how he addressed me.” 

“What do you mean?” 

“Well, he never uses my first name. And we try to keep it professional on set so he calls me Els 99% of the time on set and at home. But if he had constructive feedback, he always called me honey bee instead of Els. It was like his tell. But yea if he pulled out honey bee, I knew it was to butter me up,” she laughed. “But the feedback was mostly positive.”

“Honey bee, that’s so sweet,” Olivia Coleman, one of the other guests on the couch added. 

“To be young and in love. None of the rest of us know anything about that,” Graham joked as the other guests had been married far longer than Michael and Charlotte. “I know Els is short for your middle name. Is there a story behind that nickname?” 

Michael and Charlotte shared a glance, Michael trying to stifle his laughter. However, Charlotte could not hide her own, immediately doubling over at the thought of sharing that origin story. They did not mind sharing details of their personal lives and relationship but that was one area they strayed away from.  

“I take it that story is not appropriate to share?” 

They both shook their heads as they laughed. 

“Nah, definitely not, definitely not. It started off as joke but then I liked it and it stuck,” Michael laughed. “That’s her name in my phone too.” 

“Meanwhile, he’s name is just Bakari in mine with a heart and ring emoji. He’s the romantic in this marriage.” She scrunched up her face playfully as he leaned over and pecked her on the cheek, causing a loud awww to echo through the crowd.

This was fun! Ask me more stuff like this, friends lol

For the fic questions, 3, 4, 17, and 37

3. What are some tropes or details that you think are very characteristic of your fics?

Two people go to a place together and have an argument that’s kinda about going to the place and kinda about something else entirely

Unrelatable narrators …that was supposed to be ‘unreliable narrators’ but yea honestly I love writing weirdass internal logic

Exploring worldbuilding implications

Humor (they all start out as a joke and then I think about the joke, possibly too hard)

I will put science fiction in this fantasy story

????

4. What detail in [insert fic] are you really proud of?

This is kinda cheating because it’s from an unreleased WIP, but I did post the bit in question separately! It’s the villanelle I wrote for The Fox That Makes The Ravens Fly, which Thom recites, fulfilling the ‘man who remembers Hawkwing’s face’ part of Tuon’s prophecy. I’ve always wanted to write a villanelle and it was a fun way to interpret the prophecy requirements.

(Once I started thinking about it, I was intrigued by how broad that category could be, if you really wanted it to be. Off the top of my head, it covers Ishamael, anyone who was at Falme and recognized Hawkwing among the Heroes of the Horn, and anyone else who can describe Hawkwing’s features from memory, which could be a historian, artist, or court-bard… or anyone who paid attention to their art. Tuon actually had options, she just wanted it to be Mat.)

17. What highly specific AU do you want to read or write even though you might be the only person to appreciate it?

Well now I’ve distracted myself with the concept of an ‘Ishamael marries Tuon’ AU… what a fascinating way to make everything worse! Honestly, I just want to put Tuon in situations.

Almost all of my WIPs and outlines are now highly specific AUs and I don’t think I have any new ones I haven’t at least alluded to, and also every time I think ‘I’m the only person who could want this’ I find out I am wrong.

But if anyone wants to adopt ‘Lanfear is the Daughter of the Nine Moons and Mat rescues her and Moiraine from Sindhol’, I’d read that. I also want more of the Sedai Trek AU that @unmarkedcards sent me snippets of, where Tuon is the Amyrlin & Nyneave is the Keeper and they are taking a spaceship to the Ogier homeworld.

37. Promote one of your own “deep cut” fics (an underrated one, or one that never got as much traction as you think it deserves!). What do you like about it?

Baby’s First Knife! As I say in the tags, it’s funny in the way Mat is funny, which is to say that the jokes are at his expense.

It touches—obliquely, in true Mat style—on the huge problem for Mat of having a child in an environment that isn’t safe for them from day 1, let alone years down the line. I write a lot of Mat/Tuon fluff—well, fluff by their weird standards—but this is less fluffy, more uneasy, which is a space I also like exploring with them. They’re interesting because of the tension, and I wanted to capture some of that in this story.

[beevean]

Man its just that the average nfcv fan vision of the belmonts is a human centipede. You grab the og belmonts, you kno the good hearted almost superhuman warriors who fought and killed Dracula time and time again, let nfcv turn them into regular vampire hunters that are framed as morally gray bc "muh poor vampires :(", and who are cynical jerks that don't do much of anything. And then you let the fandom bully them into the ground bc haha loser men and muh girlbosses.

And its kinda weird bc its also often making fun of them due to their traumas? Like yea maybe alcoholism due to losing your entire family at a young age isnt a joke you know. Or seeing your mother get killed in front of you as a child. Yes ofc you can make fun of dark stuff i'd be lynched as a hypocrite if i said you cant, but the way its done and how continuous it is... irrespectful? Like they dont respect the serious aspects of the character and legit think they suck for having horrible things happen to them? Im bad at gauging jokes like that but... yea (they just dont know how to bully fictional characters unlike us who throw Isaac off a 10 stories building everyday <3)

In any case, N! Trevor and N! Richter do not deserve that sort of treatment already, and much less their mainline counterparts :/

And regarding girlbosses, they way ppl need to put down their men to show how cool the girls are just, reeks of insecurity to me? Why does having a "loser dumb wife guy" makes her a girlboss? Why would a confident gal need a loser to take care of instead of a good partner were both compliment eachother's strong and weak points? Maybe im being a bit dramatic here, but it carries off a similar mentality to sexist guys that need to put down their gal's accomplishments to feel well Plus, the way how fandoms still revolve around said loser guys and how a lot of the times the writing itself makes the girlboss character a compliment or a motivation for the man without depth for herself makes it all feel performative. Just write a normal character with character traits who happens to be a woman ffs :/

It's incredible. NFCV alone feels like a shitty fanfiction, full of those fanfic tropes that would make me close immediately: flanderization, wimpification of "pretty" male characters, thirsting, juvenile wit, spotlight-stealing OCs, gratuituous sex and SA treated with the finesse of a charging hippo. Then you let the fandom fandomify this shitty fanfic even more, and the result is just a disaster, a kiddie pool of the most baffling misconceptions you could see.

Just to make one example, Trevor in the games is a noble but ruthless hunter, both friendly and fierce, fighting for mankind yet wanting respect yet gladly giving credit to his friends; in the show, he's a washed out Bojack Horseman-esque asshole, who despite his cynicism admittedly attempts to do the right thing when push comes to shove; and according to fandom he's pretty much a funny penis man with two braincells, Sypha and Alucard. the scene where he punches Dracula and he goes "you must be the Belmont" became a meme for a reason :^)

And yeah you're right that the fandom doesn't seem to. like the Belmonts much. But then again, they're acting like the show wants them to :) The writing doesn't take Trevor's alcoholism seriously, so they don't, alcoholism is a funny joke that makes people silly and just a tad pathetic (and it's not a serious addiction and symptom of larger problems no sir). Richter is a goofball who cries in a corny way, so it's easy to laugh at him - and that's when fans don't say that Julia deserved to die for being a "colonizer". Lenore is sexualized to hell and back, so the fans thirst for her and they think that Hector must thirst for her too, and look, wasn't her death so prettly tragic, maybe she was a good person after all!

The way fandoms treat girl characters nowadays is... barely an improvement over the 2000s when Amy would be called a slut for having a backless dress. Now it's all about how stronk and kewl and queens and girlbosses they are. And you can't criticize the writing of a female character because "just say you hate women 🙄", even when the said character is a female victim of abuse who was written by a molester as a smug radfem whose personality never goes beyond "i want to steal from men because men bad" *coughcoughcough*

The show itself is regressive when it comes to its female characters. They're all the damn same. They're either spunky sassy gals who put their men in their place, or evil but hot dommy mommies (Striga and Morana don't fit the mold because they're not characters). Most of them are magic users, even those who in the games were normal women. I will forever stand by my point that Annette did not need to be a metal bender, and if the writers truly cared, they could have fleshed out the skeleton provided by RoB. But they didn't. Because girl power!!! but only if you're conventionally "badass" and have a "strong" attitude.

To help Kyle zoom the camera per his chats demands. He lowkey high key very anxious and micromanaging abt kyle using his camera equipment lol. He just loves telling people what to do but also that shit is probably very expensive. But cmon sauce. Kyle the cameraman's got it!!! HE EVEN HAS THE PERFECT CAMERAMAN NAME LIKE??

Sauce once again (a bit more gingerly this time) sits himself on his jets style seat thing and let's out a little cry of pain when his ass hits it??? sauce these bttm allegations are BEATING ur ASS lmao????

Kyle does what sauce was about to do for him and sauce kinda :/// >:( 😰😰😠. Sauce try to go five seconds without micromanaging challenge impossible. Complains about chat being able to see his facial expressions being too close up now and how he won't be able to fuck with Kyle no more cus of it cus they'll make shit is weird. Kyle simply responds ' That's love 🙂. '

Sauce goads the chat asking if he should end stream. Kyle at first thinks maybe he isn't cameramanning right and gets a little nervous/sad at disappointing sauce but quickly catches onto the strategy and joins in on the bait. The chat take it with a chorus of Nos. Girlboss sauce malewife Tat man media powercouple ftw?

2:58, K: wait turn ur head a lil bit? *Sauce looks at him* no, other way *sauce looks away, exposing neck to him and pre-ink*

Everyone is a sadist here apparently. My kinda people 😼: 'WE NEED TO SEE HIS FACE FR' 'HIS FACE BRO WE NEED TO SEE HIS FACE' 'WE NEED TO SEE HIS FACE IF HE CRIES'

3:38 Sauce, reading the chat bcs if he doesn't have attention that he can feel for five seconds he explodes and dies: is my face in there ? <- literally just whined about not wanting his face seen bcs he'd get weird comments and ruin his very heterosexual very platonic relationship with tat man. But is now turning his whole tune around for some shred of people pleasing attention omg 🙄 poo fimbly 😑

Mean Girls 2024 reviewed by this random girl with weird thoughts

(Although I think my thoughts for this aren’t that weird).

Spoilers!

THE GAY ENERGY. THE QUEER GIRLS ENERGY. How many girls are smitten with Regina?? Cady had heart eyes the first time she saw her, GRETCHEN is… oh my gosh. Plus all the random girls in school.

I feel like lots won’t bring this up cause sadly Rise of the pink ladies were not that well marketed (PLEASE WATCH IT AND WATCH IT NOW!!), but when I saw ARI NORTATOMASO in the classroom I was like CYNTHIA’S DESCENDANT ??!! >:0

CANON LESBIAN JANIS!!!!! Finally!! But I am not sure how I feel about just giving her this random girl as her date to the spring fling.

I kinda wish to get more scenes with Cady and Janis. Idk personally ever since I read this chatfic from 2018 where they got together over this conversation I’ve kinda had a thing for them

(I’m not joking when I say this fic has been a huge inspo for me to start writing fics of my own. Like. Thank you person who wrote it. You’ve orphaned your account now but this fic will always be in my memory)

I’m not saying I needed them to be gfs in the movie just that I wanted some more moments :>

So the movie lacks a lot of the iconic moments from the 2004 film, but it’s supposed to be an adaptation of the musical anyway. Also if they just said every iconic line again it would just feel like an exact copy of the movie and that wasn’t the point.

Cady’s songs lack a bit for me. In the musical, she sang so loudly and expressed so much, but she sings so… quietly… here. I guess it’s a sort of choice for her character, and maybe this worked better for the movie format - musicals become different on stage and in movies, you can’t always be as theatrical on film as you can on stage. But, I just didn’t feel her emotions at all in the same way.

REGINA AND JANIS’ SONGS, THO? YEA. THEY SLAYED. I do feel sad they cut Gretchen and Karen’s parts out of Meet the plastics. Also that they cut Damian’s songs… Stop is literally such an important song because it gives advice not only to Cady but also to everyone watching?? I remember hearing it in 2018 and I personally felt like it could help me to not send too many texts to people, because when people didn’t answer I got nervous and sent even more. But then… some songs maybe don’t work as well in movie format, I don’t know.

Also because Janis is canonically gay now, I’d rather be me is officially a queer anthem!!!!! 😁😁

Not sure how I feel about changing ”Janis is a space dyke” to ”Janis is a pyro-les”. It doesn’t sound as good in the song lol. But, in the musical, Janis’ sexuality was more ”up to interpretation” and so got called that because when asked if she was a lesbian, she replied ”I AM A SPACE ALIEN AND I HAVE FOUR BUTTS”. An incredibly funny line and really had the early 2010s random humor going for it. But, when wanting to make her explicitly gay, they needed something better, and I understand that.

Now, many people see Regina as a closeted lesbian herself. I get it, since she has no chemistry with any boy and it seems like she just dates them for publicity. No boys except for Damian have personalities (did Shane even have a line?? He was just. There.) But, I am a bit insecure. Because at times it seems like she was one of those homophobic girls in middle school. I’m just gonna go from this movie alone, as I feel like in the Broadway show and in the 2004 movie that’s other kinds of discussion (the 2004 movie especially feels more like she actually was homophobic tbh). In the 2024 movie, Janis came out to Regina, and Regina put a rainbow pin on her stuffed animal as an ”ally”. Also Regina and Janis kissed. Regina did it to see how her boyfriend reacted, and it was at the expense of Janis. Regina then had her stuffed animal with a pride pin talk in a mocking voice and it was clear this was to make fun of Janis. Janis then got so mad over this that she set Regina’s backpack on fire (ok Ámbar Smith whatever works for you). From this story, I am a bit unsure if this came from a place of Regina maybe wanting to tease her boyfriend and then it got out of hand, or maybe she was curious about kissing Janis but she was like 12 and repressed those feelings. Because she supposedly wore a Pride pin as an ”ally”, that’s much more than what a homophobic would do - but, her bullying of Janis definitely contributed to homophobia. Regina is a mean girl, so we should not excuse her actions even though she is slaying. Closeted lesbian or not, she did some homopbic and harmful things.

Regina in this movie sometimes felt like she was just doing a bunch of things without care. In some ways, I think Regina is just living on some sort of cloud and there was all this anger inside of her and she didn’t know what, and it’s possible she just does not know how to handle all the popularity because she’s like 16. So she hides behind a lot of layers and just does stuff for the thrill of it, maybe trying to get some sort of enjoyment in life, but nothing is enough. And eventually she snaps and watches the world burn. Maybe this is why all the songs she has in the movie, including the ones that originally had more singers, only had her singing now. Showing that, even when she is around people, she is alone… (yes, the other girls sing in world burn but they don’t sing to her in the same way) and she has not found her real place in the world and she acts like she knows it all but she doesn’t really. And everyone keeps telling her how great her life is. If her life is so great, why does she feel so unsatisfied?

They didn’t ruin Revenge Party which I appreciate. I also loved that they added the deleted lines from the musical. I wish that Cady has more power in her voice when she shouted ”ONE CANDY CANE PLEASE” but oh well.

The way they all reported on the incidents at North Shore high like it was national news… like, my schools has meme accounts and stuff, but never that we reported on the stuff like it was celebrity gossip lmao. Then again I don’t even live in America so idk what’s going on over there.

I do like how Janis and Damian are the narrators. It’s possible a lot of things that happened was their overexaggerated retellings of what actually happened. Maybe this is just them telling freshmen about tales everyone tells them as they start high school.

School buses keep being the top 10 scariest jumpscares. Laughed out loud tho that instead of focusing on Cady and Regina’s argument, they just argued in the backround and then Janis finished up her song as Regina just gets hit by the bus in the background

I’ll probably have more to say in the future.

[kwillow]

Also kinda funny thing, my oc is also kinda girl crazy like Ambroy lmao she likes girlies as she grows up (dragons kidnapping maidens much you need a tower to hold a pretty woman in?) but she's respectful never bothers his staff she knows he'd kick off but absolutely would check out other woman with him at events he's like ooh she's not bad. And she's like oh yea that dress compliments all the right places. And he's what. Harlot wench whore cease. And she'd laugh and assure him oh what chance does she have against such a gorgeous refined man such as himself so dazzling everyone in the room keeps looking at him they know they can't rival him.

Slightly NSFW following up on devoted anons whore daughter lmao I'm gonna do a few spaces then put it so hopefully you don't have to see if you don't want to

But also sometimes has girls in her room and Ambroy probably gets jealous lmao. She is a thot affectionately likes girls will love on girls likes one little bastard unicorn man. Would tease if he's getting huffy like aw my golden treasure don't be so jealous, you can come sit on my face too if you want. Cause she's a whore she's nasty she knows vulgarity and it's probably a bit flustering tbh like ma'am I do not wanna know what you're doing to those girls! I can imagine him shoving her face away lightly smacking at her lmao or who knows maybe he's into it just a little

Oh that's fun, hahaha!

I mean, she's better than he is for keeping her hands off his staff - er, at least when he was younger, he would get frisky with the female servants at times, to the point where his father refused to let him have personal female attendants. When he's older, though, he learns to maintain more professional boundaries... though not so professional that he would think better of having his maids wear ludicrously low-cut dresses, it seems.

He's enough of a lad that he'd enjoy having someone to check out ladies with, but you're right that too many compliments towards others would make him flip to "okay shut up about her what about how pretty I am"

Such language direct at him would fluster him for sure. He's certainly no angel (haha) or prude; he can be shockingly vulgar himself, but he's more used to being the pursuer than the pursued. There's also the matter of her being physically larger than him - he's used to being much taller than most people and especially women, so having someone who can look down at him and say such things, well, it's not a power dynamic he's used to. Is that to say he wouldn't secretly be kind of into it? Well... his aasimar version has a secret shameful attraction to the monstrous feminine, so, one could extrapolate certain things from that. What things - perhaps I shouldn't say on a good wholesome website like Tumblr.

(Oh and no worries about salacious stuff when it comes to my characters, I don’t bring such things up on my accounts often just because I prefer to write and draw my guys to be amusing and terrible rather than arousing, but it is a factor in their lives, and it doesn’t bother me.)

A lot of mythological creatures seem to have a particular fixation on girls, don't they? (Pardon the meme, couldn't help myself.)

Oh also completely forgot but important she has a forked tongue not immune to wiggly forked tongue which she has superb control over so she will stick her tongue out at him and move the forks to make a <3 shape at him with her tongue cause I think it's funny

That's super cute. I'm sure he'd be jealous that his tongue is weird but can't do anything cool like that.

[thetypingpup]

the way i'm sitting here w/no vocal training past elementary school choir and probably sit in a mezzo or alto range as an adult like "👁👄👁 i can imagine being a puppygirl, but a skilled soprano? that's a little fanciful." 😂😂 no one fits every reader character, but i found it funny that THIS is the limit of my imagination

I get that we all have our limits. I've read so many readers that have like, the exact opposite personality of me and I just sit there like "yea sure I would do that 😒". But yea as far as preferences I prefer to write more confident and/or talented readers, even when they're talented in ways that I'm not. There's gonna be a lot more of that coming up. I feel that with the vocal range bc I was a soprano for most of my life, so when my voice changed I was just kinda sitting there like "👁👄👁 now what?"

I know I didn't write this out yet, buuuuuut I really wanna talk about it so here we go. The reader for phantom!xiaojun is not the Christine of the situation, you're more like Carlotta. You just come in, talented as hell, and blow everyone away Xiaojun included. You're the prima donna and you know it, and you basically have the diva sensibility about you which will be really fun to write. Also you're a siren, bc y'all know I don't particularly care for supernatural x human pairings. Both of you being supernatural and being so musically inclined, it puts you both on an even playing field. There's no weird imbalance of power you both can just explore your art (and each other 😏) in the most intricate and elaborate of ways. Its not a matter of "he's your teacher", you both learn from each other in the way that artists can learn things from each other. Gaaaah I can't wait to get more into this. I'm still working some things out but y'all I'm really feeling where things are going so far 😁

[patchdotexe]

ok i really quickly need to sidebar to talk about the KGs and Ninten because i talked a little bit about them around when i wrote the First masterpost and it's still so so funny to me bc the more i dig up about the different KGs the sillier it gets

bc like . okay. in the rp group that prime/ellis/self/heart/ride system originated in, my best friend at the time rp'd Ninten and i thought he was The Coolest.

so the Very First Appearance Of A KG happens, which is The Origins Of Ellis where the setting is, like, the Real World but then an alien apocalypse happens so everybody bands together and has to survive, and it crossed over with the wider rp continuity because the guy behind the invasion was a reoccurring character... who was friends with Ninten! and had gone evil! so Ninten showed up. and.. okay i need to . directly copy-paste The First Instance Of Ninten Showing Up from the fic version i wrote because:

"Ninten?"

The black-haired boy nodded. His striped shirt and neckerchief had given him away instantly. What was he doing here? Katie had a vague memory of the psychic getting arrested. He'd been acting oddly when it happened.

Ninten showing up is never explained in the fic. he's just.. there. and Ellis knows him. which knocked me out when i was re-reading the fic earlier this week

and then like, in the noncanon stuff, it was everybody's OCs and any canon characters they rp'd put in the same building and let wild, and that included Ninten and later-established-as-Prime KG! and also Ninten's son from the future, Artemis. and they heckled each other a lot and it was fun. Prime did a lot of heckling people. it's kind of their job. i still write Prime sometimes and their job is still Heckling People For Fun

(so like, in the current Explanation for why KG is Like That, Prime knew Ninten from the Noncanon Zone and that's why Ellis would've recognized him. because shared memories. yea)

i am now grabbing Artemis with force. Artemis was also written by my best friend and he was, like, a Cool Guy that did dark magic and liked Castlevania and whatever. and Artemis ended up being part of the big Heartless battle with Sora and Heart and other ocs when we did the kingdom hearts crossover, and both of them lost their hearts so Artemis/Rasemtix was like. alright. i am grabbing Teixak and i'm gonna figure out how to shove her heart back into her because she's being cringe (rasemtix would've said it derogatory but i'm saying it affectionate). Artemis was ALSO part of the noncanon shenanigans so he ALSO knew Prime, although not... canonically. or well i guess he knew them but None Of The Events Happened except for when they did

(amount of KGs Artemis knows: 2.5, including teixak)

and now we get into when that friend got me into homestuck, and we all had self-insert ocs for a fan session, and then a big plot twist was that millennia in the future Artemis made himself immortal, gave himself god powers, and then also cloned himself. and one of those clones ended up being A KG.

(amount of KGs Artemis knows: 3.5, one of which is his daughter)

so when i was writing the most recent iteration of the masterpost i kinda just had to step back and start cracking up over, like, the Weird Friendship of Ninten and KG and how one of them is, like, related to him. and neither of them had any idea because kaotic wasn't part of the prime/ellis/self/heart/ride wombo combo at the time so i'm picturing it as, like, kaotic's minding her own business when she gets slammed with the full Shared Awareness of NINTEN IS MY GRANDPA????????

"why don't i have psychic powers :( this sucks"

Horses are afraid of Chloe. Chloe is afraid of horses. But Beca is the solution.

I dunno. I read some posts of you and your were asking for promts, but it may is very outdated. So I dunno.

@anastasia-93-daybidaylove now you see how this does NOT involve beca dressing up as a horse? jeezus that conversation is going to be forever ingrained into my mind.

also hai stau! hope you like this :DD

read on ao3 or below~

Chloe isn’t afraid of many things.

But now, as she stares terrifyingly at the dark eyes boring back into her, Chloe suddenly becomes aware that many isn’t all, that many doesn’t mean that she isn’t afraid of some things.

Namely, horses.

The smell of dry grass and flakey dirt and distinct mammal brings back the memories of a facefull of sand, rocks, and of a salty wetness that she has tried numerous times to forget, and Chloe shudders, gulps with extreme difficulty at the possibility of having to endure through such a heart-stopping, nightmare-inducing, and childhood-ruining experience once again.

The scar on her forehead tingles, like a freshly irritated scab in the sun.

“Come on, Ginger, let’s get on with it! Some of us are actually excited to compare the rodeo of riding their first ever pony to wrestling a crocodile.”

Ginger. There have been worse names that Chloe has been referenced to before.

She trembles, taking a hasty step back. The horse seems to sense her trepidation, whining low before mirroring the action. Something flashes in its intelligent gaze, something close to agitation.

And Chloe may not have been around horses much- or at all- since that incident- well, till now, but she knows and loves and has experienced with animals enough to understand that an agitated creature means a troubled creature, able to cause unintentional harm if not pacified quickly with caution.

Chloe certainly isn’t going to be the one being cautious, she is barely able to hold herself upright in her current predicament.

“Oi!”

It’s maddening, the unhealthy rate at which her heart is pounding. Chloe knows that she doesn’t have to do this, to get on the saddle and hold on for a trek around the makeshift track, but none of the Bellas know and Chloe Beale is reputable for not being afraid of many things.

She toes a tentative millimeter forward, only to automatically snap right back.

She couldn’t do this. She will never be able to get over the twinge in her chest whenever her finger brushes against the line on her forehead, the slight squeeze of her heart whenever inquires about her early school life.

Chloe wants to cry. She can feel the sting already in the back of her eyes, the indication that she has failed yet again, this time surrounded by her newfound friends, and-

A hand settles gently on the small of her back.

“Chloe?”

Chloe turns, sniffling, her vision a little blurry around the edges as she looks dazedly at Beca. Beca, who is confused, curious, likely wondering why the heck it is that she is taking so damn long to just swing her leg over-

“Beca. Bec, I-” she swallows, her breath painfully suppressed in the column of her throat as she struggles to breathe. “There was this barn that I went to with my uncle when I was little in the countryside, and there was this horse, and-”

Beca rubs soothing circles through the fabric of her shirt, stepping to the side and angling herself so that Chloe is hidden from the rest of the Bellas. When Chloe stutters and doesn’t continue, Beca searches her face with something akin to sympathy, compassion, a glint of protectiveness that is uncharacteristic of her “alt girl” persona, “And what happened, Chlo? You can tell me. If you want.”

And Chloe finds that she does want to tell her, if only to have something to say to calm down her nerves. She has built on her confidence the older that she got, the further that she went on with her education, when she started to realize that her looks aren’t the defining force of her personality and that bullies are just ultimately mindless jerks. She has embraced her scar thus far as a physical attribute to her features, even going so far as to say that one time that it adds to her personality, so she knows that the problem isn’t the scar itself, but rather what had caused it.

Beca has always been an easy person to talk to, someone who despite what she says isn’t at all overly judgemental but genuinely very accepting. She is someone who is embracive of the uniqueness and flaws in the world, able to transform them into something beautiful, engaging.

So if Chloe had to pick someone to talk to about why it is that she is now scared to death of horses- of the notion of being near one let alone climb on one- it is her.

She takes a deep breath. “I was lifted up into the air by my uncle who had no idea how to take care of a five year old on a full grown horse, put on the worn out saddle, and let go without adult supervision or security or even with my hands properly on the mane down a trail. I fell off onto my face on top of the rocks and the sand and bled so much that I had to get thirteen stitches on the center of my forehead. I was bullied for looking like a red haired Frankenstein all throughout elementary and the first year of middle school and in that time I just… I dunno, connected everything to that trauma and became deathly terrified of horses, I guess.”

Beca blinks, and then nods. She doesn’t ask whether Chloe is okay, why she had lied when everyone had been interested to know more about the faint line now resting just beneath her hairline, or any of the unimportant and pointless questions that Chloe frankly doesn’t even want to think about how to answer.

She simply says, “Okay.”

Then-

“Do you wanna try to see if you can overcome it? I know how determined you can get when you’re trying to beat something that you don’t like, and based on how long I saw you debating from back there, I can tell that there is at least some part of you that is curious to see if you can kick this fear’s ass. You obviously don’t have to, you know, I’m just saying that I will be here if you decide that you do. Want to. Or whatever.”

Chloe laughs, wiping the last of the mist from her eyes. Beca is such an idiot. An adorable, rambling idiot. Who knows just what she needs. “Here? To help me? Are you an expert now, Bec?”

Beca smiles, looking relieved that Chloe has stopped tearing up. Fat Amy shouts at them to move faster again and she huffs, refusing to withdraw her hand from its ministrations on Chloe’s back even as she responds over her shoulder,

“You all can shove it! There is more than one horse in this fairground and Stacie is on the other one, so take turns with her and suck it up till Chloe returns, alright? We’re gonna be here for the entire afternoon. So there’s more than enough time for everyone to have their fun.”

Beca shakes her head at the chorus of groans and cheers emanating from the crowd. She then rolls her eyes at Chloe, who is giggling at her dramatics. “Children, every single one of them. Without Aubrey we are both the literal parents here.”

And just like that, Chloe is able to forget her inhibitions long enough for her mental stability to revert back to normal, “It is wonderful to be stuck as a parent with you, Becs.”

Beca blushes at the wink Chloe delivers, nudging at the base of her spine with the guidance of her palm, “Quit teasing, Beale, and get on with this ass kicking.”

Turns out, Beca had been very observant when the instructor- some random tall guy- was teaching them on how to mount (before slinking off to flirt with his girlfriend), and is just as diligent in remembering and repeating the same directions, coaxing Chloe up the steps to face her body sideways in the same direction as her horse and making sure that it is balanced safely for the both of them before encouraging Chloe on. Surprisingly- or maybe not so, because Chloe is with Beca, after all, the person that she is basically in love with the better part of the past three years- Chloe doesn’t have much difficulty in accomplishing this task with Beca as her guide, beyond the initial spike of brief anxiety that was gently let down by Beca’s hand on Chloe’s thigh, followed a reassuring quirk of her lips.

I’m right here, Beca had said, in the sparkle of her eyes and tilt of her head, and Chloe had listened.

She’d willed her heartbeat to slow down, her lungs to expand and contract to the demonstration that Beca was giving, and eventually, she’d been capable of grabbing ahold of the reins from Beca’s grasp without fumbling.

Beca murmured a “great job” when Chloe breathed a sigh of relief after settling safely onto the saddle, and made a joke about how her horse is like her spirit animal, skittish when she is afraid, friendly when she is not.

Chloe hadn’t been confident enough to remove one of her hands to swat at her, so she had pouted, gripping tightly onto the reins as Beca double- triple- checked her protective gear.

Now, Beca is quietly sneaking a very small apple slice to Chloe’s horse, while Chloe is continuing to regulate her breathing and pulse rate in preparation for the ride.

“You good?” she says, wiping her palm against the denim of her jeans.

Chloe gazes down at her, taking in Beca’s dark locks, the curve of her nose, the part of her mouth, the glare from her sunglasses.

Her brain scrambles, but this time it’s in panic for a different reason, entirely.

Chloe isn’t afraid of many things, but besides horses being on the list of things that she is afraid of, telling Beca Mitchell that she loves her and appreciates her beyond anything else in this entire world comes to a close second.

“Yeah, I’m good. Thanks, Bec.”

Beca’s teeth flashes, something that always, always, sends Chloe’s stomach for an intoxicating swoop, “But of course. You’re my co-parent after all. Now get on with it, alright? I want a ride too.”

[felixvanhuss]

And I have (some) answers! (If you want ^.^)

-It has to do with the whole stick and rope thing, the knot is tieing people together. It's like a symbol ^.^

-The surnames seem to be based on their jobs now, which was how things used to be way back when, but I'm not totally sure why the change happened so soon after the apocalypse

-Die-Hardman's actual name is John, but I will agree that Die-Hardman is the dumbest fucking nickname ever lmao

-I do not totally know how everything changed very fast. I think it has something to do with the fact that the apocalypse upturned society so completely and obliterated so much of the human population, but that's just my own thoughts on that

-I don't think it's a pro-life thing, but I also don't really have further explanation on this one tbh

-So Bridges has the official stance that BBs are just tools or whatever, but that doesn't stop plenty of people from becoming very attached to their BBs and viewing them as people. Idk how much you read your mail, but there's at least one other porter who saw their BB as just a little guy and that implies to me that it is a common thing, despite Bridges' propaganda

-They're beached between life and death, but yea it is kinda a goofy name X)

-The online option isn't MMO-like at all and actually I LOVE it! You leave a ladder somewhere and in someone else's game, a ladder appears! Or they leave a safehouse somewhere and you get a safehouse! You don't see other people wandering around in the world and really the only interaction you have with them is leaving likes and getting likes, it's purely positive and I love it so much!! Seriously, ideal online gameplay, I don't have to actually interact with anyone but we're all helping each other out ^.^

-I have no good answer for this one tbh. I think Kojima just thinks it's funny?

-Sam is just kind of a weird and awkward dude who doesn't really know how to interact with people and is more comfortable when alone

-She's weird. She's a weirdo. She doesn't fit in and she doesn't wanna fit in

-In the Directors Cut the Monster Energy is gone lmao

-I think the answer for that is game dev friendship

-The goal was for the story to be continuous without having bits of play that become non-canon through the player dying and having to start over from a save point. This way everything that happens in your game is a canon part of the story ^.^

-There are so many cameos in this game it's a bit silly and kinda fun idk lol

-I think the MULEs are supposed to be some kind of parallel to you as the player. They're hooked on delivering packages and if you're sucked in by the gameplay loop, so are you

-The emoji use is very silly, yes ^.^ I find it kind of charming in its own way tho haha

-GOD I know???

-So I haven't played any Metal Gear games but from what I understand...Kojima just likes writing weirdos

-Idk if you found Higgs' diary or whatever but dude has a massively fucked up backstory that does explain why he's Like That

-Mario and Princess Beach makes me wanna run into BT territory lmao

-Oh! Cliff ISN'T Lou's father! He just thought that Lou was his BB! Those aren't Lou's memories, those are Sam's! Cliff is Sam's dad! :D

-Die-Hardman's mask has some sort of weird chiral field around it that makes people not really know who exactly they're looking at. Someone you know really well could wear the mask and they'd be a stranger to you. They react like that because the man behind the mask is supposed to be dead. I didn't really get it at the time either but there's some post-endgame mail that you get that explains it better and since I had decided to 100% the game I got it ^.^

-AHAHAHA yea. Desk flip indeed

-It's just a fun quirky game and I'm so happy you enjoyed it :D It's genuinely one of my favourite games and I love hearing that other people had fun with it too ^.^

Idk if maybe you didn't really want someone to go through this and answer most of the questions you had, I'm just very passionate about DS lol. I am sorry if this was annoying to see added to your post tho <3

I played Death Stranding and I have...questions.

I considered posting about these things as they came up while playing, but figured that as soon as I started talking about it, Tumblr would start throwing spoilers in my face. So instead of having to tiptoe through that minefield, I've been saving it up until I beat the game and could talk about it freely.

Spoilers ahead, read at your own risk!

Why the heck are the cities all named "____ Knot City"? Why would they not use the names of old cities or even towns that used to be roughly in the same location?

Why does no one use ordinary surnames anymore? There's literally no reason for people not to use them a mere generation (if that) since the apocalypse.

WHAT THE HECK KIND OF NAME IS DIE-HARDMAN THAT IS THE STUPIDEST THING I'VE EVER HEARD

For that matter, why has so much changed in such a short time? The last president was still around in living memory, so the Death Stranding just happened a few decades ago at most. And I don't think this is set super far into the future - not like Horizon: Zero Dawn, for example, where it makes sense that no one remembers what life was like in 21st-century America, because it's set a thousand years in the future. Everyone over a certain age in Death Stranding can remember what it was like before, so why is everyone acting like they're unearthing some incredible archeological find when they discover that people used to...I don't know...play video games?

Carrying unborn babies around in a tank because their mothers are braindead and thus connected to the world of the dead and so the babies can detect the presence of the dead...may be one of the creepiest things I've ever done in a game before. And I can't decide if this is a pro-life thing or not, because there are soooooo many mixed messages of some characters insisting that BBs are just tools, and others who treat them like actual babies.... I mean, I saw Lou as a person from day one, and clearly, Sam came to the same conclusion since he named Lou...but I just wonder what the creators of the game were thinking when they implemented that.

Okay, I get that not everybody knows that BBs even exist, but of those who do...why are more people apparently not bothered by carrying around what is apparently a human child in a little tank??? Wouldn't it take an awful lot to convince people that the thing that looks and acts like a human child is in fact not a human being - when you can literally see everything they do, you can hear them crying, they are fully formed, so it's not like they're weird-looking little fetuses? Do I just have too high a view of humanity?!

WHO THE HECK DECIDED THAT THE OMINOUS GHOSTLY SPIRIT THINGS THAT CHASE YOU DOWN TO PULL YOU CLOSER TO DEATH SHOULD BE CALLED "BEACHED THINGS"??? WHY DID THEY GO WITH THE STUPIDEST-SOUNDING, LEAST INTIMIDATING NAME THEY COULD POSSIBLY THINK OF?! I was creeped out when they were just BTs, because that sounds kind of ominous, but as soon as I found out what that stands for, I burst out laughing. They'll never be truly intimidating again.

Why is there an online option at all in this game? Does anybody actually play with it turned on? I immediately went, "lol, nope" as soon as it was explained to me. If I wanted to play an MMO, I'd go play World of Warcraft (or whatever the kids are playing these days).

Why. On Earth. Are bodily fluids used to make grenades. Were they trying to make you feel like a monkey throwing feces around? Why is showering and using the freaking toilet an actual gameplay element? (What is this, The Sims?) Why is there a button you can press to pee on the ground while on the road? WHY DOES A HOLOGRAM OF A MUSHROOM APPEAR TO MARK THE PLACE YOU JUST WATERED THE GRASS???

Why is the tonal shift so severe when you're in a private room? Sam goes from being a stoic grumpypants who just kind of grunts at people, to making faces and breaking the fourth wall. Is this...supposed to be funny? Is what happens in private rooms outside of canon? No, that doesn't work, because there are quite a few plot-advancing cutscenes that happen in private rooms....

Why does Fragile chew so weirdly?

WHY ARE THERE ACTUAL LITERAL MONSTER ENERGY DRINKS IN THIS GAME AAAUUUUGH THE PRODUCT PLACEMENT IS SERIOUSLY MESSING WITH MY SUSPENSION OF DISBELIEF DX

Why on earth is there a random hologram of Aloy and a Watcher from Horizon: Zero Dawn? All it does is serve to yank me out of my suspension of disbelief and remind me of a game that does a much more convincing job with the post-apocalyptic future of North America.

Why bother with the whole repatriation thing? Did we really need an in-universe explanation for why you can come back to life if you get a game over? Like...it's not going to make anyone forget they're playing a game. And they didn't do a great job of establishing right away whether or not Sam retained his memories after that scripted repatriation at the beginning. Left me very confused for a long while. If they wanted him to survive his wife's voidout, he could have just...not been there when it happened, you know? (Upon reaching the end of the game, I understand a little better why they did it this way, but I still think it's a bit clunky.)

Why the heck is Conan O'Brien in this game? Like, I can sort of understand Guillermo del Toro, I guess, but....

What's the point of making the MULEs addicted to oxytocin or whatever, so far gone that they're compelled to steal people's packages for the high of it? That's...really stupid and unnecessary. Seriously, you could just have them be bandits. People who are hostile to Bridges to such an extent that they attack porters on sight, or who have broken away from others and created their own little communities, and they have no qualms about stealing packages from people, in case they might contain valuable resources.

Why does nobody in this world know how to use emojis? Were all the mail messages written by boomers?

Who on earth hired the actress who played the Chiral Artist, and why didn't they get someone to play that role who could actually act?

Why is it that all the significant NPCs in the game are so...unique? You've got Mama and her BT baby, not to mention that she doesn't decay after she dies and is somehow alive in Lockne's body. You've got Deadman, who is a literal Frankenstein's monster of corpses stitched together. You've got Heartman, who undergoes cardiac arrest and gets revived every 20 minutes.... I mean, none of the characters important to the story are just normal people dealing with the Death Stranding. They're all one of a kind. Which isn't bad, per se, but it sort of stretches my suspension of disbelief. It would be one thing if it was a deliberate gathering of exceptional minds or something, but it feels like they all just "happened" to be working for Bridges or something. Am I being too picky here?

Why is Higgs that creepy? I mean, I totally dig how hard Troy Baker leaned into the craziness of the role, all slick and sinister, wearing a chiralium mask shaped like a skull, blipping in and out instead of walking two paces just because he can...but why have him smear tar around and lick it off his thumb? Why have him lick Sam's face? It just seems...rather excessive to me <_<

Who on earth came up with having Sam compare himself and Amelie to Mario and Princess Peach? Or for that matter, who had the atrociously lame idea of "Mario and Princess Beach" being an actual line of dialogue we had to hear with our own eardrums? Because I think they need to be fired. Kojima-san, if that was your idea of 'humor' or something, please fire yourself. You're not allowed to string words together anymore.

So...wait. Is it supposed to be a surprise that Clifford Unger is Lou's father? I mean, if it was believable for Sam to not have figured it out a long time ago, that would be fine even if I was pretty sure - that's just dramatic irony. But, like...Sam has been seeing visions of Lou's memories pretty much every time he hooks them up. That's canonically backed up in-story. I find it really hard to believe that Sam wouldn't have pieced it together in all that time.

When Die-Hardman finally takes off his mask...there's nothing unusual about his face? I was expecting some kind of disfigurement from timefall or something, but he looks completely normal, and yet everyone starts muttering in shock?? Is the surprise supposed to be that he's actually completely normal???

WHY ARE THERE TWO CREDIT ROLLS?!?!?!?! (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻ This game take so long just to get through the ending....

Why is this game so fun and addictive despite being so wonky and weird? I loved it. Couldn't stop playing ^_^

Now that I've finished, I am so confused by the timeline and who Sam actually is, so I'm headed off to go research what the heck is up with this game @_@

OK OK this is my last question for real this time, I say with complete confidence

I just… MAN you really sold me on platonic Nalu!!! Would you please give a poor, desperate soul (me) some of your platonic Nalu headcanons? Or even just one is fine, I know writing all of these up must be tiring lol

bestie im literally having a blast stop apologizing im kissing u so platonically ily

ONTO THE NALU HCS

i actually have a bunch of stuff written for them so imma just throw it here

Natsu is so fucking acearo its not even funny They're besties, natsu would protect lucy with his life and lucy would do the same but its platonic i swear guys- Lucy is the first NEW person natsu gets close to after lisanna, bc this boy is so tired of having ppl taken from him without his fucking say so Like idk natsu works so hard to be strong enough to protect his family and then his dad and childhood best friend disappear without a trace when he's not even around to help?? Boy thinks he's cursed I fully believe that Natsu would rarely leave gray and erza's side as kids bc he was worried he close his eyes and they'd just be gone It gets SO much worse after lisanna dies

Idk the actual age when this happens in canon but im saying he was probably like 11 and had known lis since he was like 4 Erza and gray r also really shaken by her death but the thing that really fucks with them is how it changes natsu bc if u thought these 3 were codependent before oh boy All this to say that lucy was like, an exception, and its probably why erza and gray were so quick to be like yes shes great bc they were more just excited and kinda relieved natsu made a fucking friend without them or the guild involved I think his job was taking longer than he wanted, and he was growing really frustrated and impatient with the fact he hadn't found anything abt igneel and happy was trying to cheer him up but in my mind when natsu's bummed he's bummed he meets lucy and she's just so nice But its also that shes also kinda fucking weird and natsu just latches onto that bc to him weird is normal and comfortable and it makes him bounce back and idk it goes kinda similar to how it goes in canon without natsu and happy being weirdly antagonistic and Lucy isnt as put off by how bat shit crazy natsu is bc she just finds it fun and like a breath of fresh air Like lucy grew up in such a suffocating proper environment, so when she meets natsu and his fucking crazyness shes like omg finally my life is so boring Lucy is genuinely looking for excitement and adventure so of course she goes with natsu to join fairy tail And I think it takes natsu aback how ready she is to go with him but i think in his mind because she wasn’t deterred by his “quriks” like most ppl he was immediately like new family fuck yea Bc idk that's just how his mind works bc subconsciously i think natsu knows he is difficult or weird so he's learned to latch onto the people who don't mind that abt him and that's just so happened to,, only be ppl who had to put up with him in fairy tail Not to mention a part of him probably believes it's his fault that igneel left in that kid way where u just feel like everything is ur fault oop Also also i think that lucy literally has no frame of reference for like, a normal healthy friendship, so she kinda just takes natsu's lead and oh boy is that a mistake Like after lucy joins the guild natsu is just CONSTANTLY hanging around her the way he did with erza and gray when they were kids and lucy, again having little to no sense of how friends work, just kinda lets him and gets use to it, she actually really enjoys having that sort of attention bc idk she's never really experienced having someone WANT to be around her just cuz, like the closest thing she had to friends were her servants who were literally obligated to be around her all the time and any “friends” her age she had were forced to hang out with her bc of her family I think Gray and Erza start to worry a bit that if Natsu is too overbearing he’ll end up pushing lucy away bc they're all under the assumption that lucy is a normal person with normal boundaries and a normal childhood So they pull natsu aside like hey bestie maybe don't growl at people when they look at her she might think ur mean and stop wanting to hang out with u Bc they KNOW how natsu is and they dont mind but they're also 2 traumatized orphans who don't have a normal frame of reference for how other ppl work, but unlike natsu they usually air on the side of caution It kinda eats at natsu a bit and he tries to give lucy her space especially if she gets even a little annoyed with him Lucy starts to notice but doesn't say anything bc she just figures he's probably bored with her bc she genuinely believes she's just painfully uninteresting in every way And then she gets kidnapped And natsu loses his fucking mind :D Bc for fuck sake this boy can NOT have a friend without them being taken from him High key it goes like, the same as canon bc i like how that went But the AFTERMATH Oh fucking boy Natsu literally doesn't leave her side This is where, i think, Natsu starts breaking into lucy's apartment lol Its treated as comedic but there's an underlying tension where natsu is just extremely hesitant to leave ever or even let lucy leave And that's when lucy starts to be like aight this cant continue Not in a mean way in just a, idk how to function if i can't be alone ever and it lowkey brings memories of her childhood which is also bad bc natsu isn't her keeper nor should he be And that's not what natsu is TRYING to do he's literally just so scared that if he blinks wrong shell disappear they figure it out tho bc they r friends and UGH i just wanT them to talk and cuddle platonically bc UGH I LOVE THEMMM
