The greatest estate agent is the best dad

[arctic-hands]

Saw a video of someone introducing a foster kitten to a nursing mother, and wow mama cats really are like

[Image Description: the "It's free real estate" meme, showing a smiling white guy with the text edited to say "It's free Baby". End I.D]

I mean obvs they had to carefully prepare the foster kitten, who was two weeks older than the biological kittens, which involved a wonderful scene of taking the foster and gently rubbing her against a very confused kitten who had just barely opened his eyes, and the integration attempt was monitored with hawk eyes, but the mama really was like

Here are the common features I saw among Zionists on the Internet:

They have the Israeli flag on their profile picture (Seriously, it's weird, I can understand the Palestinian flag, because it's not the first time people showed support like that, it happened with the French flag at one point, but yours? Strange)

They often have Hebrew in their descriptions (Although their blog is usually in English) and mention that they are Jews (It's probably not a crime, but it does its job with Hebrew… I don't know why, but when I came across Zionists, their description always has words in Hebrew and mention that they are Jews…)

Of course they are bullshitting around the clock on October 7 and blaming Hamas (Because even the Palestinians themselves are Hamas to them)

David star, related to the flag of Israel, but sometimes you can come across a Zionist with this symbol on his profile, not every person with this symbol on his profile is a Zionist (I saw one person in the tags about free Palestine who talked about what Israel is doing to the Palestinians, so yeah , compared to the flag of Israel it is not so certain, is anyone a zionist?

Of course they will deny the existence of Palestinian Jews, what do you require? That they accept other Jews who are not European?

They will use your ethnicity and origin as an attack (Poles, Germans and Muslims)

Of course you will meet Zionists who will claim that other Holocaust victims are "Stealing Jewish things"

Profiles without profiles, but entire blogs are fucking porn

They will attack other Jews in the comments for supporting Palestine, using the texts "You hate yourself" or "They would kill you there"

Of course they will defend Israel's crimes, because the Torah told them that they deserved this land, so fuck the indigenous people (Which they are not, because they are Europeans, or possibly Asians)

Threatening with rape because their level is typical of housing estate pathology

Everyone is anti-Semitic, even Jews, what the fuck don't you understand?

They use information as fresh as a student's sandwich left in the haversack all summer long

Of course, for every crime committed by Israel, they will go into "But Hamas!" mode

They love pinkwashing and homonationalism, unlike LGBT+ people who don't buy this shit

They love to see themselves as victims when real victims want to hit them with a frying pan

Racism, Islamophobia, anti-Semitism, Zionism in a nutshell

Their empathy went out for milk and didn't come back for decades

Sure they will call you a Nazi even though they collaborated with the Nazis, which sounds legit

They swear more than a typical Pole

They don't know the difference between manja and swastika, but they themselves wouldn't want their star to become a symbol as they see manja, which has nothing to do with Nazism, and also has a rich history and has been around longer than Hitler stole it, yes, it makes a lot of sense , yes, it references the Pokemon controversy because oh god! In the Japanese version there is manji, and this kata was imported! Obviously it's time to cancel Japan!

They are so fucked up that they enjoy raping Palestinians and dying children…

Yes, Polish anger, when Damian Soból died, Israelis started memeing it and calling him a Nazi (And from Hitler), so I don't have much to add, I won't forget it

I don't know why but a lot of Zionists are LGBT+ which is weird, it just sounds sus (I'm aroace)

Many Zionist blogs have "Anti-Semitism" in their names, which is interesting

They consider Poland a country that cooperated with the Nazis, which is a lie, Poles were victims of the Nazis, and many died in concentration camps along with the Jews

Of course they appropriated the watermelons, because Zionists only know how to steal (Oh, you can see how much Polishness they have)

You can fight for Sudan and Congo, but you will be an anti-Semite because you are also fighting for Palestine, what don't you understand, you stupid non-Jew?

A text about Ukraine, because of course, white people have to be in the spotlight all the time, and the rest? They not white so they has to die, typical mentality…

Of course they use the Jewish tag, because it is known that Zionists must represent the Jews, no, good plan (They probably think they are safe, no, you won't be safe, we will harass you for supporting the genocide)

Yes, these are many of my observations (But probably many others had them too)

Zionists are simply trying to disguise themselves, but the truth is that it looks like manipulation to them, which is shit

Temporary Post

Trying to share something. Rant about Corel Prison below the cut.

This essay was originally a response to someone else. Text in blue comes from them. I wrote this months ago and did not proofread it so it could be better but tip.

the OG never explains how the Gold Saucer came to be, who funds it cuz if they kept it as the OG,

I’m one of those people who believes that not everything needs an explanation. FFVII Remake and Rebirth both have a problem with over-explaining things at times, but that’s another topic. The overarching theme of this mini-essay is that OG FFVII very prominently features themes of complacency, apathy, and inaction, and how those can lead to misery and destruction just as well as direct bad actions can (i.e. doing nothing can lead to just as much misery as intentionally hurting someone). One famous (misattributed, but still good) quote is this: “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” And that’s part of the soul of the OG.

First, I have to lay out a VERY important difference in Corel of the OG and Corel of RE (Rebirth and Remake). The town of Corel in the OG is the land that becomes the prison. This is evident based on the scene in the house in the Prison where Barret talks about Dyne and Scarlet, and by the flashback at the ropeway where you see Corel burning and it has the same buildings/landmarks as the Prison. The town of Corel in RE is North Corel, which is a shantytown. To me, it doesn’t make sense that generations upon generations of people would be stuck in a shantytown. And, Corel being a shantytown in both RE Barret’s flashback and the present undermines his whole thing about how Corel is now worse because of Shinra, because it isn’t. It’s been a shantytown the whole time. Yes you can still argue that the people are unhappy and that shows how Shinra is bad, but it’s not nearly as bad as destroying the town and turning it into a prison so the original inhabitants are forced to create a new town from the literal scrap that’s left.

Going along with that is the difference between a Prison made from and populated by the things Shinra has destroyed, and a town populated by ruffians who chose to be there and are having a good time. In the first, it's Shinra and greed-enforced misery. In the second, it loses that. It's instead about reclaiming your own happiness, I guess. Which is an okay point, but doesn't hit as hard and is already done elsewhere so it doesn't need to be repeated. It makes Corel much more generic than it was in the OG, where it stood out via its harsh reality and the cruelty of its existence.

Now then, for the explanation of Gold Saucer in the OG: Shinra is the root of many evils, but it is not its sole source nor its sole enactor. Yes the OG doesn’t explain the details of how the Gold Saucer came to be, but I believe it doesn’t need to, because you can extrapolate based on the situation. OG Corel was destroyed by Shinra. Dio, a traveler, decides he wants to create an amusement park. The desert of Corel is a harsh environment, but in the words of that one meme, It’s Free Real Estate!

Given Shinra completely rebuilt Nibelheim to cover up what happened there, it’s possible that Shinra funded the construction of the Gold Saucer too, in order to hide Corel somewhat. Corel isn’t as damning of Shinra as Nibelheim is, so they wouldn’t need to rebuild it, just distract. Or it could be that Dio was just a rich guy who wanted an amusement park and built it independent of Shinra (until they wormed their way in anyway). When you ask “why does the Gold Saucer exist,” the answer doesn’t need to be about who funded it. The answer is “to exemplify how the rich and elite will brush away the suffering of the poor for their own gain, whether that be profit or amusement.” FFVII is a video game, not real life, and it’s okay for the answer to be a thematic one rather than a logistical one. Plus there are already several places that Shinra has obviously stuck their hands into, so we don’t necessarily need the Gold Saucer to be overtly Shinra too. (Given how many times Shinra appears there, it’s at least Shinra friendly in the OG).

it like creates a plot hole of Why would Dyne who hates Shinra, run a prison that is created from destroyed town of Corel be okay with the Gold Saucer being built on top // hell Dyne feels more organic compared to the OG, cuz like his despair and nihilism is created by Shinra leading to his descent to madness

Dyne in the OG is someone who hates not just Shinra, but the whole world. To quote him: “I want to destroy everything. The people of this city. The city itself. The whole world! I got nothing left in this world. Corel. Eleanor….. Marlene….” Dyne is someone who thrives on misery. You can ask why Dyne would be okay with the Gold Saucer being built on top in RE just like the OG- he waits 4 years both times. The answer to this I’ve always interpreted as Dyne’s nihilism and hatred building over time from apathy to action. It takes him time to be so fed up with the world that he decides he wants to actively destroy it, rather than just let it rot (as Shinra is doing). Now I think the real reason is that he waited because the writers needed the Dyne thing to happen when the party was there, but in either case we don’t get a reason for him being okay with the Gold Saucer in either game so I don’t see it as a fault with the original.

As for why Dyne would run a prison, he doesn’t run it in the traditional sense. He’s not the one keeping people down there. The way the party gets out in the OG is by winning the Chocobo Race and being pardoned by Dio. Dyne is the “boss” in that of the people stuck in prison, he’s the one people won’t cross. After you kill Dyne, Mr. Coates (Gus in the OG) says: “So Dyne's dead…Maybe now, this place'll calm down a little. Dyne didn't care who anyone was.” He’s happy Dyne is dead. I always interpreted it as Dyne being the “boss” because people are scared of him, not because he’s actually leading people in any real way. If you want to do something, you need permission from Dyne otherwise he’ll snap and murder you or something. Unlike in RE, people in the OG don’t need to outright say they don’t like Dyne. It’s instead implied. AND it’s another case of the apathy that I mentioned: people don’t like Dyne, but they’re not willing to change anything. They’re miserable and they’re going to wallow in their misery, and that’s their downfall.

As for Dyne’s descent, in both the OG and the RE it’s pretty much the same: Shinra took everything from Dyne, which drives him insane. The difference is that in the OG, Dyne decides he wants to take it out on everyone (the world, and importantly the people of Corel!), while Dyne in the RE is more targeted on Shinra. Except he’s not, fully! Because he shoots innocent people too! He just names Shinra out loud. Honestly the biggest kick to the gut in the RE was that Dyne didn’t have his line about wanting to kill Marlene because Eleanor was lonely. That line is sickening in the OG. A man so corrupted by despair that, upon hearing his daughter is alive, he decides it’s better to kill her to free her of the world he hates so she can be at peace in the afterlife, than to reunite with her to make her life happy. Thinking about it gives me chills. That’s true despair right there. And THAT is why Dyne fights Barret in the OG- because Barret wants Marlene to live, while Dyne wants her to die. In the RE, Dyne turns on Barret because he thinks Barret is working for Shinra again. It doesn’t hit nearly as hard. We already know Dyne hates Shinra; it’s when Dyne decides he wants to kill Marlene that I went “okay, there’s no walking away from this one. Someone’s got to go.” Because we all hate Shinra already, so hating Shinra doesn’t make Dyne special to me. Wanting to murder his own daughter does.

Which goes into his death. Dyne in the OG doesn’t really get a redemption arc/scene. Dyne in RE definitely does. Dyne in RE shields Barret from approaching Shinra soldiers, then dies on top of him. I’m not going to lie- I got teary eyed when Dyne fell on top of Barret. That hurt. But in the OG, Dyne doesn’t get a traditional redemption. He commits suicide. His "redemption" is much more subtle- when he goes to jump, the lighting of the scene changes and illuminates himself and the crosses (that I interpret as being for Marlene and Eleanor based on their sizes). It to me shows that he is going to the beyond, the great big light in the sky in many representations. Light is purifying, because even though he didn’t get a redemption in saving Barret, he’s come to terms with his life and death and that’s the best you can get.

In the OG, not everyone can be saved, physically OR morally. But you can try to be better. And the forgiveness comes in the form of that light and the pendant Dyne gives to Barret so Barret can save himself. He doesn’t have to kill himself to earn his redemption; the light comes after the pendant is given. He kills himself because he thinks he can’t be redeemed, not realizing he’s already been forgiven. Dyne in RE saves Barret with his body. Dyne in OG saves Barret with his medallion. Furthermore, giving the pendant to Barret also shows how Dyne has changed because he says the pendant is for Marlene, which means Dyne has come to accept or even just realize that it’s better for Marlene to be in the living world, and while his hands are too stained to hold her, he can at least give her one last gift.

There’s symbolism there too, about the survival of the next generation. A Dyne who wants to kill Marlene because she’s better off dead is one who has decided there is no saving the world (symbolically eliminating the future). This is the same thing Shinra is doing. Shinra is eliminating the future by killing the world. Barret is fighting to save the Planet, but while doing so, he’s put his personal life to the side- which is something he comments on in the RE! But we see in this scene with Dyne that his personal life and his larger goal of saving the Planet are at times the same. Yes Dyne dying for Barret in the RE shows Dyne now believes in the future, but it’s more powerful when he gives the pendant to Barret so Barret can secure Marlene’s future just like he’s securing the future of the Planet. In both suicides, Dyne is saying that the rot must be excised. That sometimes there is no redemption. But Barret’s mourning is what makes you question whether that’s true. ESPECIALLY with how Barret says his hands aren’t clean either. That’s Barret saying that even if you’ve sinned, you must push on and try to do good (because whose hands AREN’T stained, in the end? If not by murder than by other sins).

Dyne committing suicide by jumping is more powerful than him committing suicide by saving Barret because one is entirely selfish, while one is selfless. Saving Barret is selfless, even if the goal is the same. He’s explicitly helping Barret by dying to save him in the RE. But in the OG? Barret doesn’t get anything out of Dyne killing himself. Dyne could’ve given Barret the pendant and lived or gone and talked to Mr. Coates himself, but he didn’t. That shows how much Dyne has given up on the world to me. He doesn’t give himself a way out. In the OG, Shinra has completely and utterly destroyed this man to the point he doesn't see redemption as an option. In the RE, he shoots for his redemption via saving Barret. He's not as far gone. [EDIT: Also your great point about Dyne falling 4 years ago mirroring him doing it by choice here!!!!! I somehow. Never caught onto that but that's so good, nd makes the OG even better]

Last note on Dyne’s madness: Dyne in the RE is very crazy, don’t get me wrong. But him talking to his dead wife and daughter didn’t make me think he was NEARLY as far gone as the guy who wanted to murder his daughter when he found out she was alive. THAT’S true insanity to me. THAT is what Shinra has done, and it’s all the more damning of them. RE Dyne is broken. OG Dyne is corrupted.

And last note on Dyne: Him wishing for the destruction of the world in the OG is so good because it shows how Shinra’s influence not only damns themselves, but the entire world. The mako reactors are Shinra’s invention, but they are killing the Planet as a whole. Dyne’s madness is a result of Shinra’s intervention, but leads to him wanting to destroy the world as a whole. Shinra has damned the many for their own gain.

Dio who GETS an expanded role here, and explains he's just left in charge [Mari's note: this comes from a longer thing claiming Dio in Rebirth is much better than the OG because we know more about him]

Okay so this section goes beyond what you’ve brought up, I’m just going into it because it’s big to me. Another theme of both the OG and RE is of redemption. Can Cloud redeem himself for (OG late game spoilers) giving Sephiroth the Black Materia. Can Jessie and Avalanche be redeemed for the deaths they caused (Shinra’s extra involvement in RE is something I have issues with better left in another post). In Crisis Core, there’s the question of Genesis’ Redemption. And there’s Vincent’s whole character, who is the epitome of “can people be redeemed for their sins, and do they even deserve redemption in the first place.” He’s also a great example of what comes from apathy and inaction - misery and the worsening of a problem.

Dio in the OG is a character who throws Cloud and Co. in Prison without a care. They’re probably guilty, but beyond that causing problems, so to Prison they go. He is a rich elite who is willing to trod on the lower class to eliminate his problem. Once Cloud wins the Chocobo Race and they sort out the Dyne thing, only THEN does he forgive Cloud and pardon them. I think the OG has a much stronger message about the damage of jumping to conclusions, since Dio doesn’t give them a chance. And again, it shows how people are willing to turn a blind eye to the messy stuff. The stuff with the Buggy and Keystone also show how he’s trying to be redeemed. It’s a stronger message about how even if you do wrong, you can make up for it and should. That’s lessened in RE where he becomes more sympathetic from the outset.

I’m going to cut the Dio stuff off here because this is already too long so whoops. Dio in the RE is a good character since he’s more fleshed out, but I don’t think he’s as symbolic or good for the THEME/MESSAGE of the game and the Gold Saucer specifically as he was in the OG. Dio in the OG worked well as an example of blindness and complacency, whereas Dio in the RE is more fleshed out but doesn't work as well thematically.

How did Corrupted Bf, Soul Bf and Spirit get isekai'd into Blue's/Bf's head?

Did he decide to let them live inside of his brain, or did the terrible trio just move in unannounced?

(Speaking of terrible trio, here, have this meme I made based on the ask)

Blue/Bf: *is eeping*

(Meanwhile in his mind...)

Soul Bf: Um actually ranch dressing does belong on pizza *pulls a slice out from his hat and eats it*

Corrupted Bf: NO IT DOES NOT YOU 7 FOOT TALL DEMONIC TWINK!

Spirit: FOR GOD'S SAKE PLEASE JUST SHUT THE FRICK UP!!!

Blue/Bf: *eyes snap open like Squidward* Bapmbept... Bopt bagain. *covers head with pillow as the three goobers continue arguing*

WHEEZE

So like- basic answer is that, with Soul, he shows up like in canon, y’no, after Deathmatch, Corrupted Blue gets fucking exhausted, and Soul goes “it’s free real estate”. And similar to canon, he goes to fuck off after the events where Memory Leak would’ve taken place, but because Spirit is there at that point, he can’t because w/o Soul, Spirit would accidentally kill Blue. So he just… doesn’t leave.

Spirit ends up joining Blue after the events of Roots in the OG game. It was supposed to be a reference to Corruption: Reimagined, along w/ the fact that if Soul left, he’d kill Blue. He can’t leave now, even if he wanted to, unless they find a way to transfer his consciousness/spirit to something else, but that runs the risk of Blue also having that happen, which could kill him. And I mean, Spirit prefers being in an organic body over a metal one regardless.

C just kinda… shows up… and I specifically referred to Corrupt Blue as such instead of just C, because technically they are different. C just kinda shows up, causes problems, gets put in a box (cage), and sits there for however long that arc is (yes, his time in baby jail is a whole ass arc, and for good reason)

Soul, at this point, hates C, and mostly vice versa, so they don’t speak to each other unless it’s to inconvenience each other. Blue and Spirit are actually quite polite to C, which he doesn’t understand, but- in turn- is mostly polite to them.

I think that’s all I can really say about that without spoiling too much.

Blue thinks of the three of them as his best friends, and they do too to varying degrees.

Also that meme would happen on a normal day regardless, the only difference being that Soul isn’t 7ft lmfao. For clarification; Blue and C are 5’2, and Soul- for whatever reason- is slightly taller at 5’4. Spirit is 6’5, the tallest besides Navy(6’6) and Sophie’s parents(D 6’9, M 6’10).

zeblue sketch dump

here we go! :) this will go long because I Love them

I personally think of Blue’s glasses as less of the conventional nerd kind, more of the insufferable tech bro vibe. He IS a nerd but he’s also a scammer trying to get you to think it’s a sound financial investment to buy his cryptocurrency

God I wish I was more interested in/better at drawing clothes and fashion, because the idea of Blue wearing Aava hand-me-downs is one of the greatest mental images I’ve ever incepted myself with and I don’t think I can ever do it justice. + obligatory blue's dumbass jester my beloved

The Most important version of fullly armoured knight zero that I unforgivably forgot to include in my original post

Introducing Nephili ‘Neph’ Ax-Vel, one of the Force-sensitive kids that I invented for my ever-fixed mark ‘verse! Featuring an omwati redesign because the idea behind the species seemed so cool and yet what little art there is looks like uh… just humans with 80s hair and that was Not It for me. 

She is incredibly interested in technology and is showing signs of integrating her connection to the Force in that, exactly as Aava was so interested to see someone do! However (the monkey’s paw curls for Aava) Blue is her absolute favorite adult in the whole world, for unknowable reasons. (It probably comes down to them having some ineffable yet powerful autism2autism communication going on; he is surprisingly non-awful with her.)   

She’s also the only one of the kids small and literally bird-boned enough for Blue to be able to carry. (Dar-Yen — who even as a little babby 10 year old besalisk is pretty solid — once made a bet with his BFF that Blue would catch him if he jumped into his arms, Brooklyn 99 meme style. This experiment ended with several bruised ribs on all sides and a stern talking to. To this day the kids argue over whether Blue at least tried to catch him before they both went down like matching sacks of potatoes, or was just trying to save his cup of caf. Reader, I think you know in your heart what the truth is there.)

Before Aava and Zero started trading off haircutting duty, Blue’s hair got pretty long, which Neph took as prime free ‘I’ll braid your hair!!!’ real estate. 

Feared lethal assassin Agent Zero play fighting with the kids and dramatically pretending to fall to their combined might is something that can actually be so personal (is so personal I guess considering I made it up for myself lol). It is partially just to be an uncle-shaped jungle gym, but also a way to sneakily train them in working as a group the way he used to when running with a pack in his youth  

*blue voice* but why did theseus seduce ariadne though. Why did he not put the moves on the minotaur instead. This seems like the more obvious and productive cause of action long-term (and I have no other horny reason to think this)

*affectionate Zero voice* you’re insane (and extremely gay) but alright I’ll be insane along with you

(I could imagine this being a real in-universe statue that got commisioned and that they'd pose for fdskajfa Zero has gone through all the stages of grief long ago when it comes to what Blue does to his libido and has arrived at the perfect Zen of 'this will awaken something in me. and that's chill we live and learn about ourselves')

:') they

(Slightly older?) Neph and Blue, and some Zeros I doodled as a means to cling on to my sanity while stuck on a train for a couple of hours. Aava is right he handsome

important information being exchanged (the fact that blue specifically calls the hired killer he employs pretty... I will never be over it what is wrong with him)

The silly stupid little arms-wide-open-in-welcome doodle of Blue in this might be my favorite thing I’ve ever drawn. He really saw bae, went :) , and it fills me with such simple delight

(there’s also a Zero looking sad on this page of my sketchbook that didn’t make it in here, but that’s the context lol)

Xavier: Renegade Angel #18: “Kharmarabionic Lotion” | April 3, 2009 - 12:15AM | S02E08

I did not remember this episode at all, and it’s actually possible that I never saw it until now. Also, like a lot of Xavier episodes, I am exhausted just at the prospect of trying to recount the plot. But, I will try, because I am very brave. 

In this one: a man reads an article in the paper credited to himself, which really freaks his bean. At some point during the episode, we join the story post article, as if to imply that the first part of the episode was being told via flashback, but then it’s not. Furthermore, the beginning of the “article” section is revealed to be a simulation. Xavier finds himself out in the desert, like usual, but it turns out it’s actually a holodeck/westworld style attraction where Americans can come and beat up Arabs as a means to get their racist aggression out in a comparatively more healthy way.

Also: Xavier gets his finger bit off by a possum, which sprouts a mini snake This finally explains the origin of Xavier’s snake arm: his original arm was bitten off by a huge possum. 

Xavier exits the simulation and finds himself at a funeral for the namesake of a New Mexico town called Lotion. They are the makers of 70% of the nation’s lotion. That’s why they all be lookin’ so, so shiny. The dead man invented lotion, and deserves to be honored. Xavier convinces everyone in the town to buy lotto tickets, and they do, and I guess everyone wins.

They do this so they can build a statue of the man, but Xavier encourages them all to gold plate themselves to celebrate being so selfless. At this moment, the bank comes to foreclose on the whole town. Not wanting to give up the gold, the town poses as robots for an attraction appealing to Arabs wanting to see a robotic simulation of a small American town and also grab robot genitals. 

I liked this one fine, but there was really only a couple of scattered laughs. I laughed at some booger eating (chomp.wav), and the line where Xavier scolds one of the Arabs that “Women here are free to do whatever they want. (whimpering) It totally sucks.”

This is a good question and I am ill prepared. I think presentation is important, so I would definitely use YOUTUBE clips and sorta wing it, just to demonstrate to them that a lot of this stuff is just on YouTube and you can click around. Dusting off a DVD could potentially be a turn-off.

Right now I just typed Tim & Eric and sorted by view count, and among them were the FREE REAL ESTATE sketch, which I'd probably click on just to see if they recognized the meme. Then I'd show them the Paul Rudd Celery Man sketch. If they seem like they hate that I'd just show them Robot Chicken sketches. This is my real answer. I am not lying or using drugs while answering this.

Oh, oh! 🪨, 🥪, and 🎨 for the ask meme?

Link to asks

OMG YES!! I’ll be answering these for Chikako Koharu!

Visual below

🪨: Someone gifts your oc a shiny rock. What do they do with it?

She’ll immediately be interested! Asking where it’s from and how did the person get it. She has never really left her family’s estate so anything from the outside world interests her a lot! She’ll add it alongside other objects her father has given her to let her experience the outside somehow.

🥪: On a scale of “burns water” to “5 course menu” how well can your oc cook?

Burns water. She never got the chance to cook since the servants would do all the cooking instead so now that she’s free she might actually burn down the kitchen trying to cook something as simple as rice lol. She’s slowly learning to be independent however!

🎨: Does your oc have any craft skill, as a hobby or profession? If so which?

Since her only windows to the outside world for a while were her father’s art books, she trained herself how to draw and paint! Now she can draw really good portraits of people and especially backgrounds. She knew how to paint beaches before she even saw one in real life! It’s mostly as a hobby however since she’s still shy about showing off her work even if it’s extremely well made.

The Image Tags Masterpost

(As its own post thanks to a suggestion from @oregano-gremlin! gracias)

Every image is tagged with one of these tags, for organisation purposes! ^_^

(Also It’d be a HUGE pain to go back and re-organise them so, while suggestions for new categories/adjustments to existing ones are appreciated, I’m almost definitely not gonna follow through on any of them.)

(Also I am uh. Putting this under a read-more because it’s longer than I thought it was gonna be when it’s all laid out lmao)

#I LOVE YOU!!! - images you can use to show affection to any loved ones you are fortunate enough to have

#Horny on main - not for NSFW stuff so much as stuff where it’s just a guy saying “hehe boobies” or whatever

🥢 for Corpo?

Thanks for the ask from the Core Meme-ory game! This is a fun one, I haven't explored Jackie & Corpo!Val's backstory much, and there's a lot of free real estate.

As she scans the bar for her new contact, Val crosses her legs and jiggles her foot, causing the strap to slip off the back of her heel. Pulsing purple and pink lights fill her vision and she enables the auto-filters to turn things back to their usual shades.

She hasn't been to Lizzie's in some time, not since she was still in her training at the academy and hanging out with the other misfits because of her status: Ward of the Corporation. While the bullies in her classes, the ones whose parents served Arasaka, showed their rebellion by hanging out at Tyger Claw bars, they rarely ventured into other gangs' territories. Lizzie's was easy enough to get to by NCART, since none of them had cars or Delamain subscriptions, and the bartenders were cool enough to look the other way at Val's early attempts at falsifying credentials. Thankfully she realized that she would be better served by directing her time elsewhere, and started focusing more on quickhack development and less on encryption.

The main doors swing open and a big man -- tall, broad-shouldered, just her type -- steps through as if announcing his arrival. A few heads nod in his direction. When he turns her way, she is certain he's her contact. Padre mentioned the dark hair and unique cut, and the Valentino's attire completes the image. He saunters over and drops into the opposite side of the booth from her.

"You must be Jackie," she says as he spreads out to his full width, elbows up on the back of the cushions.

"Heh, Padre said I'd know ya when I saw ya, and he was right."

"I look like any other corpo in here."

"Nah, chica. Only one drop dead gorgeous corpo in here tonight."

"That so." She isn't sure whether to be put off or flattered by Padre's description of her, and in the meantime she introduces herself and extends her hand. "My name is Valerie. Valerie Vermilion."

Jackie gives her hand a firm squeeze. "Valerie Vermilion, huh. That's a lot of Vs. I'm just gonna call you 'V.'"

Still taking asks for the Core Meme-ory game if you like! Enjoying this as a way to get back into writing

[ID: six screenshots of memes, each cropped to show only a thin strip of face (mostly eyes). The memes are "then perish" Obama, "did anyone tell me...?" Gayle, "It's free real estate" guy, "I love you" Castiel, Live Slug Reaction Star Wars Slug, and "It's more likely than you think" lady]

Here's my Meme Chain from my reinvented story of the Golden Goose. In the original, the chain of people stuck to the house was really a series of memes in and of itself, so I chose to update it a little. I've added a few more bits to the story, but this is the main gist.

It's a wonderful day in the village, and you are a horrible goose:

Hang in there, LOLcat!

The cat's owner and her friend:

The promenading couple:

And the old man:

It's free real estate:
