Order of Conduct Universe

4 universes;

2 unstable:

chaotic:

assymetrical

2 stable:

nothing

positive

order of conduct

probability = 1 is ideal order of conduct, of a positive emotion outcome

net benefit out weighing negative emotion outcome

stability probability = 1 ideal

positive emotion: order, stability, = 1

chaotic emotion: disorder, chaos, less than 1

chaotic universe ends eventually cause that's chaotic

universe becomes unstable asymmetrical universe

asymmetrical universe

order of conduct if positive = 1 = true

positive universe: where everything is good for ever

forever order, forever positive, 100% stable

order of conduct positive = negative

nothing universe,

nothing ever nothing happens but positive emotions don't exist

nothing not happens, cancelled out, forever final stable

vacuum point of universe

order of conduct

perform actions that are positive in a net benefit manner,

a net benefit is kindness, compassion, justice, mercy

if you ask me. being a good storyteller and love are inherently entwined. you cannot tell a good story without loving the people in it and loving those you tell it to. because to tell a good story is to understand it and its impact. to love is to understand how something moves through others and how to deliver it the way it would be best received. and how to breath life into something that did not exist before. storytelling is an act of creation sure but i do believe in all creation, there is love too. that there must be

So based off what Twilight is saying here, and what he was saying and thinking mere panels before this... it looks like he might see this whole adventure as an opportunity to maybe prevent Time’s terrible fate.

“The best outcome”... is that stopping the Hero’s Shade from existing at all?

King Booario again! This time with an updated design.

Okay so I've seen watcher rtgame headcanons before, and I've recently seen some interesting concepts for him as like a card game god based on his balatro streams. And anyways do you all remember that good omens quote about god not playing dice with the universe.

This one ^^^

Yeah.

if I had a nickel for every time I was in a fandom and a child character had a breakdown and did something that accidentally hurt another character, and then the fandom all turned on the character and vilified them because they [the fandom] can’t understand that sometimes 14 year olds make mistakes when they’re going through something traumatic, I would have 2 nickels

not a lot but it really is weird it happened twice

Okay about Beast sskk; because I realized I've got a very definite picture of what the Beast post-canon is like that is only in my mind and I never actually put down, so here we go. Very needed content warning of sickeningly fluff and Beast sskk being disgustingly in love with each other, I suppose.

After Dazai killed himself, Atsushi is reasonably tormented, and can't sleep at night. Roaming across Yokohama late at night, he always ends up at Akutagawa's– instinctively, unconsciously, to an extent even unwillingly. He doesn't choose to, it's more about countless nights unable to sleep spent wandering with no destination and still always finding himself in front of Akutagawa's place for some reason. Akutagawa somehow always knowing when it's going to happen so that he can face him before Atsushi has time to hesitate and run away. How they don't really need words or explanations most of the time, how for Atsushi knowing that there's another person who understands is enough, and everything he needs. How before Atsushi realizes it (and thus keeping him from trying and prevent it), Akutagawa's house has become the only place where he can fall asleep.

That's how they start living together before even being together. They might not even have an actual “getting together” moment, you know? The development of their relationship is so natural and spontaneous, it was meant to end that way from the beginning. Besides, Beast sskk don't really need words between them, so... I suppose an actual confession, albeit nice, would be almost superfluous.

Soon enough they move together to a small apartment near the ada (I'm assuming Atsushi has still enough money saved from his old job). Against popular belief, with time it kind of crystallized in me the idea that Atsushi wouldn't join the ada? His life to that point has constantly been doused by violence and pain and death, he deserves a long break to cope with all the trauma; throwing him right back to another environment where he's constantly pushed to fight and use his ability would not do any good to his mental health; especially when he's got such a conflictual and hating relationship with Byakko, even worse than it is in canon. I wasn't kidding about the house husband thing. Beast Atsushi stays home and chills down and is safe and away from all major sources of stress and triggering environments. Slowly, with time, he goes out more often, gradually relearns what normality is supposed to be like, and bit by bit all his traumatic experiences get more distant, and the nightmares more rare. Akutagawa follows up with his ada job– obviously! There's a whole deal in the end about how important it is for him to keep doing his job and trying to be good. I do believe the ada is the right place for Akutagawa. He returns home to Atsushi who always welcomes him with warmth and joy, and they cuddle a lot.

But I also believe that there would be times when Atsushi is required to go back to action and fight– he's not a member of the ada and he doesn't work for them, but it's obvious that when the ada is in danger and Yokohama is facing serious threats, the guild and the rats and ultimately the doa, the times will call for his intervention. He usually comes to help or rescue Akutagawa, a trump card of sorts. And it's endearing, how Akutagawa is always the one, even among the ada, most contrary on getting Atsushi involved, how he wants to protect him and keep him away, how more than anything he wants him to be safe. As for Atsushi, I really like the concept of this man who retired from action, that spends most of his time at home or chatting with the seniors in the neighborhood, who joins the fight only when the situation is most desperate and reveals himself to be the most powerful and destructive beast to have ever walked on earth. He reluctantly fights, and together with Akutagawa they end up saving the day for everyone, because as Dazai himself said nothing can stop the both of them together.

On the other hand, when the world isn't ending Atsushi solves that very specific role of crime drama protagonist's husband who's very supportive of their partner and listens to them ramble at home about their cases. He often offers useful insights on how criminal organizations work.

Atsushi didn't replace his collar after it broke. They're barely visible under his turtleneck, but he has now wrapped bandages in its place: to hide his scars, to keep the memory of Dazai with him everywhere he goes, to remember what he's lost but also what he's gained.

Ah, and when it comes to the fight against Fukuchi, Atsushi is the one to die for Akutagawa, of course.

Headcanons that directly contradict something stated above but that I still like:

Sskk get together after six months– it's got an ironic taste to it, the timestamp their canon counterparts set to kill each other now being the time they declared their love to each other. It's so soon, but also is it really? They immediately clicked the moment they met each other, and they were always destined to be. At that point, there's no one in the world they need more than they need each other.

In case of Atsushi still wearing the collar for some time after the canon events: sskk had their first kiss when Atsushi took the collar off for the first time. Ever since Dazai died, Atsushi is haunted and unstable; he's throughout scared of taking off the collar, terrified by the idea of hurting someone unintentionally, now that Dazai can't be there to controll him (both through his ability and by the general power he used to have over Atsushi's psyche). Akutagawa sees how much Atsushi is physically hurting, and insists on him taking the collar off; they fight over it for months (verbally, for the most part, except for a couple of times when the fights become physical– but without abilities), before Akutagawa finally manages to convince Atsushi to take it off for a few hours. When they're alone, because after months of being persuaded, Atsushi can trust Akutagawa to be able to defend himself; and also something about “you would never hurt me”. Thing is, when Atsushi finally takes it off, he quickly spirals into a HUGE panic attack, not able to trust himself not to harm the people he cares about; and the only person around is Akutagawa, and he cares about him deeply. The tiger is taking over, and Akutagawa is panicking, and he's desperately looking for a way to quickly ground Atsushi so he just. Kisses him. Which effectively works in the way it immediately distracts Atsushi, as well as causes him to zone out for several minutes. Akutagawa immediately apologizes, and then panics again when Atsushi doesn't answer for a while. It's kinda cute. After that, Atsushi gradually learns to take his collar off more and more often; this time, he can really trust that, if Akutagawa is with him, everything is going to be okay.

one of the more absurd revelations in this DLC is the fact that the FBC is using it's own version of generative AI to try and mimic Alan Wake's writing?? to try and gain access to a nightmarish hellscape dimension?! genuinely a freakish organisation

[f-imaginings]

I saw you were planning to do a happy ending spin off of kmky. Is this true?!? Please say yes! Or that you plan on making more because your writing is SO GOOD. Seriously you are amazing!!!!❤️❤️❤️

It's very true 😁 I already have half of one spin off chapter done (I like having several projects going at once so if I'm not vibing with one bit I have another to turn to and it helps take the pressure off), and have plans for several more chapters, although the struggle is making them in character and having the change in circumstances reflect the characters properly.

The one I have half finished so far is set after the bibliosphere and barold blendin's book burning escapade so I picked the most dramatic fraught with tension starting point to muck around with. I'm considering either running a poll on other key crossroads moments or just selecting a few that speak to me.

So far I'm thinking of doing something with the alternate universe with the institute of oddology, something after lottocron 9 and something with the scrap vandals, and I can always work my way back after all the space adventure crossroads dry up.

The scenario that is least appealing to me is any scenario that relies on Stanford being wholly ignorant of Bill's plans and the relationship coasting on that ignorance. The only iteration of that I can see myself writing is if he's in one of those diabolical dream bubbles like Mabel and that can only end in sickening denial, abject violence and everyone hating themselves and each other. So maybe one day I'll write it lmao 😂

"There is no safe investment. To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly be broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket - safe, dark, motionless, airless – it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. The alternative to tragedy, or at least to the risk of tragedy, is damnation. The only place outside Heaven where you can be perfectly safe from all the dangers and perturbations of love is Hell."

I think the best love story is the one that’s not trying to be a love story, it just is
