An Arknights Event Concept

I started daydreaming when I was showering and came upon an event concept that might be very interesting, so bear with me here as I splurge

Lore:

So, what if we had an event about the story of a pair of twin sisters, where they are both born into an opera-esque family? One of them will be a dancer (With names regarding to Dusk), the other will be a singer (Regarding to Dawn), made to perform in their family mansion/opera house.

Of course, I haven't really flesh out the event lore so I can't really tell you why Rhodes will want to move in and investigate. (Let's just say that a cousin that was once close to the twin sisters went to RI to ask for help)

Dusk will be the older sister, quiet, mature and tends to be more chill-headed when it comes to handling things. Trained to dance beautifully since she was young.

Meanwhile Dawn is the younger sister, energetic, loud and hyperactive. The typical sunshine child really. Her beautiful voice captivates the audience, and it's even rumored that she can make you fall asleep just by her voice alone.

Now as you progress through the event, you will be met with obstacles as you go through the mansion to find out the truth of the twin sisters. And here's where the interesting part of the event comes, the gameplay!

Gameplay:

Picture a Choose Your Own adventure. Combat nodes goes across the map with a nicely-crafted story littered in between, and then at certain points will come a selection that will diverge your path, and depending on what choices you make, your next event node will naturally be different as well.

For example, one of the choice you could make would be whether you'll move through the hallway directly towards the stage area, or you would rather choose to go for the basement first and investigate there.

Both choices will still lead to a combat node, but the map will be very different, and the upcoming story will diverge just a lil bit more.

As you progress through the story, you'll reach the end, and here you'll make your final choice.

Would you choose to end the life of Dusk or Dawn?

And just as before, your choices will matter. As how the final act of the story progresses will differ, so does their individual boss fights.

Dusk's Fight:

In Dusk's boss fight, you'll be in the center stage, as Dusk starts from the top centre and path towards the blue box in the middle. There's not really a lot of enemies (Let's give it 0/10 for enemy count), Dusk is not really the type to ask for help, she IS confident that she can deal with you by herself.

Two phases.

On her first phase, nothing is special. She is not exceptionally tanky, but she does hurt a lot & cannot be blocked. One of her trick is her empowered blade that glows red when awaken (Event mechanic that I will discuss later), if she hits your ops when her blade is glowing, they WILL get chunked (true damage goes brrrrr).

And then, you defeat her. She kneels down as mists encroach the stage, and unspeakable horror spawns from the dark & will rushes towards the blue box. As the creature reaches one of your operator, they explodes, dealing heavy Arts damage (3x3 detection range). They will keep spawning until their owner revives, and thus begins phase two.

On second phase, upon reviving, she will awaken all the enemies currently on field (Once again, mechanic later). She will then starts moving again, faster and tankier this time. She will automatically goes back into Awaken state again after 10 seconds even if you put her back into Slumber, and she will periodically releases those creatures again (maybe every 20 seconds).

Now, the fight might not sound like anything special, but the point isn't difficulty, it's spectacle. I just want it to look cool and sound cool. (Also if I'm given the choice, both the boss fight stages will not be the farming stages)

Dawn's Fight:

In Dawn's boss fight, you're now on the side, as Dawn starts from the middle and path towards the blue box on the left. Compared to Dusk, there will be a lot of enemies (Let's say uhhhh 0/80 at least). Dawn isn't really the combat type, and her abilities all focuses more on buffing the enemies & debuffing your ops.

As usual, two phases.

On phase one, like Dusk, nothing special. She could be a lil bit tankier than phase one Dusk simply due to her non-existent attack stats, and just like her sister, she cannot be blocked.

She heals allies that is near her, and give them damage & speed buffs globally. Hell, she could also rapidly heal herself when not actively getting attacked.

And then you take her down, she limps a bit as she starts tearing up, and then she sings. Her song causes all ops around her (Texas S2 diamond shape range? Maybe bigger?) to instantly falls into Slumber. They cannot attack, they cannot block, they cannot do anything (Much like when enemies gets affected by Sora S1). And then she stops singing, and thus begun phase two.

On phase two, Dawn's song will now also kept all enemies on the Awaken state constantly as well. And from this point on, she will do the Slumber move again every 20-30 seconds or so.

Much like Dusk's fight, it's all about the spectacle. The BGM will change every time she sings just like how it is every time you pop Skalter's abilities. The fight is less like a duel (as with Dusk), and is more of Dawn bombarding & swarming you with large amount of buffed enemies.

Now that the gameplay is out, let's talk event mechanics.

Mechanics:

Event Maps Mechanic: - First, let's talk about how you can complete everything. You could've been wondering how you'll be able all the stages for both side of the story. And here we introduce the Mirror Shard! - When you complete the event for the first time, you'll gain an item called Mirror Shard. You can now go to the event map and click on the shard, and with a cool lil visual + whoosh sound, the map will turn a tint of purple. - Instead of the path you've chose, the map will now instead show the path that you didn't choose instead! Simple as that!

Event Gameplay Mechanic: - There's two mechanic for this event. One of them is the Mind meter, the other is the Incandescent Spotlight. - In the case of the Mind meter, there is two state: Slumber & Awake. For Enemies: They will start at the Slumber state, and depending on the stage when certain mechanic triggers (For example, on the boss fights stages, the trigger condition is the sisters going down on phase 1. I'm thinking that maybe a bell that rings will work for the normal stages & with a bar that counts down just like the CH10 artillery). Depending on the enemy type, their awaken state will provide them with different buffs. For example, one of the event big threat enemy will be these shadowy werewolves creatures that is sleeping when in Slumber state (They can still be attacked and wouldn't wake up until Awaken). They're incredibly tanky (Massive healthpool, S Def + S Res) while Slumber, but when they're at the Awake, their Def & Res will be lowered to C, but their movement speed is increased & will quickly rundown and murder your ops as they have S+ ATK. For Allies: Much like other elemental mechanics, ops will have a little circle under them that starts at half & will only fill to half if regen naturally. If the Mind bar depletes, that operator will be debuffed with Slumber, where they stay stunned/asleep until the circle reaches half again. If the Mind bar is filled, that operator will be buffed with Awake, where they will gain ATK & ATK Speed buff until the circle deplete to half again. Like the enemies, operators can also be Awaken by the Bell but not by the Twin Sisters. Incandescent Spotlight: This event's unique gameplay item, can be placed on any tile & when placed will affect any units within the range (Texas S2's diamond shape). Costs 12 DP to use. Enemies within the Spotlight will immediately be put into Slumber, meanwhile allies within the Spotlight will immediately be Awaken.

Now that I've explained everything, I am now satisfied. This is a surprisingly good creative outlet for me, and despite knowing that this event concept will never come to light. I do hope that it intrigues people enough for us to discuss about it.

If you've read through everything, thank you!

[constellaj]

just ran into your art today and. would you like to elaborate on your gay lucky in love rewrite 👀

boy would i

as always shoutouts to @crystalfloe for pitching + workshopping w me on this, ESPECIALLY on this one since it was mostly her idea!

we open up with a shot of shadow circling through amity park, looking in the windows of various citizens. danny is face-down, fast asleep; valerie is repairing some gear; tucker is being a gamer; sam is watching a horror movie; paulina is also watching a horror movie. shadow passes by all these houses and gets more and more annoyed, until he peeks the window of a large, elaborate house:

dash has drawn the curtains, turned the lights off, turned a fan up. this is his deep dark secret. he’s sitting on his bed, face lit by the dim rose glow of his laptop. the volume is turned down so low but the viewer still sees and hears him whisper along to the movie: “but we could never be together, jessica...” “but... I love you...” he’s watching a HORRIBLY cheesy hallmark romcom.

but of course nobody can KNOW he’s into chickflicks and romcoms! he’s a tough football man and it would trash his rep if anyone knew he secretly craved those deep but silly romantic stories... the tenderness, the love...

shadow has specifically been looking for a romantic.

shadow slips in and ‘possesses’ dash. possesses in quotes, because, well, even though dash is dumb and therefore easy to possess, shadow is ultimately a glorified dog, and not a fully sentient ghost; he doesn’t have any total agency in dash, and the most he can do is mess around with his emotional and hormonal balance. shadow is DISMAYED, upon entering, that dash’s deep romanticism is so repressed, and so immediately gets to work digging it out of the recesses of his brain, putting it in the forefront.

(see, what danny and the audience will learn later is, shadow is a ghost that subsists off of love. romantic love especially. he first found a ‘host’ in johnny (before he died!) because johnny and kitty were madly, ridiculously in love, and johnny especially admired kitty beyond words. they still do love each other, of course! but like all healthy relationships, they’ve learned to take breaks, and they have a ‘break week’ once every few months.)

(this, naturally, drives shadow up a WALL; after a certain level, displays of romance become like dog treats, and shadow has been downright spoiled by the overabundance of love between the two. when they take a BREAK WEEK and aren’t constantly showering each other (and therefore him!) with affection, he needs to go find another host, because clearly they do not love him and have forsaken him. they kick miette.)

since shadow’s prime host for so long has been johnny, his understanding of a few... norms... are bleeding over. dash shows up to school with a leather jacket and a motorcycle (his family’s rich, of course he’s had one). his hair is slicked back and the cologne is overpowering. while danny and others think it’s just another asshole stage of dash, kwan (as well as the popular kids, but kwan especially) notices something’s wrong. it’s not quite... dash. 

yeah, he’s happy-- well, he’s also strangely flirty with everyone (shadow is testing the waters, trying to find out who is the best match). and kwan LOVES that he’s happy. but he’s a little too daydreamy, he laughs a little too long. he is having horrible luck all day, but he just keeps taking it in stride. dash is concerned with appearances, but this is the first time he’s put in effort like it was for other people to see. he’s a little too suave. his eyes reflect just a little too much light.

and then-- luck of luck-- shadow finds the big name repressed crush.

fenton! of course!

danny did NOT want to deal with dash towering over him and slamming him into the wall, but he didn’t KNOW how to deal with dash leaning over him and telling him he looked cute. danny’s flustered! of course he is! well, yeah, dash is an asshole, he knows that, yeah he’s a stuck up rich kid, YES SAM, he knows this (sam is not fooled by a little hair gel and some high heeled leather boots), but you can’t deny he’s, well, built. and he’s weirdly suave? and nice. he’s actually being really nice. what no of course DANNY hasn’t had a crush on DASH this whole time or anything. shut up.

the fact that dash asks him to meet him in the woods at lunch (because sam, jazz, and even tucker are increasingly concerned with dash just making moves on danny, afraid it’s some new form of abuse; and lancer keeps perceiving it as bullying since that’s their dynamic and breaking it up) and he GOES is just. well. that’s unrelated isn’t it.

they kiss and danny is starting to maybe think dash just had a homophobic middle school experience like everyone else when- his GHOST SENSE GOES OFF. RIGHT HERE? RIGHT NOW??? (gee what could be causing it?) dash cracks a joke about him using too many breath mints and danny panics, bullshits an excuse, and runs off to transform and find the ghost.

dash thinks he’s been rejected and almost shakes out shadow’s possession from the sheer dismay, but shadow doubles down. no, no, we can find another crush. somewhere.

...oh hey! the ghost boy!

time to double down on the ghost aesthetics.

danny’s just finished fighting kitty (”where’s your boyfriend” “that’s none of your BUSINESS!”) when there’s a motorcycle rev underneath him. there’s... dash, again, but.... something feels very, very wrong.

danny lands, cautious. “hey phantom... you into biker dudes?” “don’t you have... a boyfriend...” “heee sorta dumped me in the woods”. and then danny gets close enough for his ghost sense to go off. and it clicks.

“dash, you’re possessed”

this is the ONE THING that shadow can’t have. this could be the perfect romance, and THIS GHOSTCHILD thinks he knows more about ROMANCE than SHADOW??? PSH. cue fight scene! dash of course is grappling with both not wanting to hurt phantom, but wanting this ghost out of his system, because of COURSE he’s possessed geez why else would he want to kiss FENTON of all people-- but shadow REFUSES to leave, slowly building more and more monstrous elements onto dash, darker eyes and claws, erasing his legs until it’s not dash as much as it is a large shadow monstrosity with dash at the center.

danny eventually realizes he needs a new strategy and runs for it. after a decent amount of bickering with sam/tuck, they realize that the only ones who would know how to tame shadow are.... kitty and johnny.

turns out, when shadow went missing, kitty NOTICED. (johnny didn’t! he was having a fun alone time working on his bike with loud music.) this is bad. why? well, johnny is NOT a very powerful ghost. in fact, he’s sort of the opposite. he and shadow have a symbiotic relationship of sorts; it’s shadow’s residence in him that gives him any powers at all, like the basic healing factor a ghost has, or phasing, or flying. without shadow he’s essentially a zombie, who can still be hurt in the ghost zone. NATURALLY, kitty decided to run off and retrieve shadow (because this isn’t the first time he’s run away on break week, always throwing a tantrum) before anything horrible could happen to Johnny; this is what she was doing in Amity in the first place

this is the part of the story where i reveal that the ending isnt fully fleshed out yet. in the rough conversation right it ended up with kitty and johnny trying to FORCE shadow back into johnny, and they’re getting annoyed by it, and kitty goes “well this wouldn’t be a problem if YOU weren’t so LOVING AND SENSITIVE” and johnny goes “well i wouldn’t LOVE YOU so much if you weren’t BRILLIANT and BEAUTIFUL” and they have a whole argument like that. its very funny. and shadow ends up still running away and possessing dash again.

ah, in typing this out, i have figured out an ending!

the above fight and run away happens, and there’s two endings: one where shadow possesses dash, and one where shadow possesses danny. in both, of course, the other party realizes the only way to get shadow out is through making shadow feel safe enough to leave, aka... flooding the room with romance. if dash is possessed, danny and co. realize that danny’s the prime candidate to... be the suave lil boy. if DANNY is possessed, sam and tucker begrudgingly explain that, uh, yeah, phantom might have a crush on you, he’s just really controlling of his emotions. (also kwan! kwan definitely plays a part if dash is possessed, maybe even in saying “uh... he has a bigger crush on Fenton. can you guys get him instead?” and danny. explodes)

blahlbahblah luring shadow out by being gay happens and shadow gets scooped back up by the 13s. as much as the previous argument is funny it might also be very funny if johnny literally noticed none of this, and kitty shows up like ‘you lost this’ and johnny is like. ‘...shadow? when did you leave’. anywho.

that’s the concept! the MAIN difference is that johnny and kitty actually have a very healthy and sweet relationship, and the conflict, ironically, comes from the fact that they love each other TOO much. i do love ‘dash finds out’ reveals but as far as an episodic romp goes, this might not be the best ep for him to discover the secret in. however in a oneshot or something of course you could slot that in there excellently i believe.

Bucky didn’t even notice Sam walking away as he slowly inched closer and closer. He was just glad no one called him out on taking his sweet time getting there. When he finally reached the edge of her bassinet, Bucky felt as though all the air left within his lungs rushed out in a single exhale. Looking down at the slumbering face of his daughter was almost too surreal for Bucky to handle. In that moment he was sure that she was the most beautiful being in existence. “Holy shit. She looks just like her mom,” Bucky quietly whispered, his voice hoarse from all the emotions flowing through him. “She’s fucking beautiful.”

Steve had remained quiet as he watched the scene between his best friend and his daughter. He too was overcome with emotion, but was holding it together better than Bucky was. He walked forward to join the pair and noticed the moisture building up in Bucky’s eyes while he continued to stare at Ellie. “Yeah she is, Buck. Congratulations, man.”

Bucky finally looked away from his daughter, a light stream of tears flowing down his cheeks as he reached out to his best friend and pulled him into a tight hug.

———————————————————————

Bucky was still staring down in wonder at the small bundle that slept without a care to the changing world around her. It was still the middle of the night, but none of the men felt like they could sleep now that Bucky had returned home early from his mission. During the earlier debrief of the baby situation, Bucky took a minute to explain why he had come home so soon. The truth was as simple as the mission being easier than they had initially anticipated and there was no reason for him to stay behind for any cleanup procedures. Now here he was, back in the same home he left behind, but everything was different. His entire life was set to change and he hadn’t even known about it until only an hour ago.

Sam returned from his late night shower in a robe and waved his arms trying to grab the attention of the two men still staring down at the baby. “Alright I’m off to get some much deserved beauty sleep back in my own bed. Barnes. Good luck, buddy.” Sam turned on his heel and slowly walked towards his door. At the same time, Steve yawned and started to walk away as well. “Yeah me too. Good night, pal. We’ll see you in the morning.”

“Wait, what?!” Bucky spat out in a panic. “No no no. You guys can’t leave me alone!” 

“You’re a big boy, Bucky. You can handle this,” said Sam with a thumbs up. “Just like we did.”

Bucky gawked in disbelief. “But you guys did it together! I don’t know what I’m supposed to do here!”

“You’ll figure it out.” Steve suppressed another yawn and turned away again.

“But wait, what if I...what if I hurt her,” Bucky quietly expressed his true fear, looking away from his two friends and down again to the young innocent life before him. Then he looked to his left arm, the one made of neither flesh nor blood. It had been years since it was last used as a weapon for the forces of Hydra. The Wakandan tech was the most state of the art advanced technology that existed and Bucky had never had any reason to mistrust it. Yet, he wasn’t ready to take any chances on his daughter’s well-being. 

Sam and Steve shared a look of understanding, but it was Steve again who spoke his reassurances to the neurotic new parent. “Bucky, you’re making excuses now. You haven’t felt self-conscious about your arm in a very long time. You’re in complete control, over the arm and your mind. Something tells me it has a lot to do with how this baby came to be here in the first place.” Steve referred to his time spent with you. “I had a feeling that whatever was going on with the two of you, she went a long way towards making you feel a certain kind of way.”

Bucky’s face depicted a range of emotions battling through him as he listened to Steve’s words, knowing that the man was right about every single thing he said. “Yeah, she did,” he confirmed. “She made me feel whole.”

The other two men smiled appreciatively, happy that their friend could finally admit the integral part you played in his life. Only hoping that it wasn’t too late for the two of you. “Alright then, Buck. We’ll see you two in the morning, okay?” Steve said, settling that this was how it was going to be. Bucky took in another series of deep breaths before nodding somewhat confidently.

“Yeah. Yeah, you’re right. I can do this.” Bucky looked down to his daughter and finally smiled. “I have to.”

It was at that exact moment that a wave of odor bloomed upwards from the bassinet. It started out faint, but soon burst into one of the most offensive odors Bucky had ever experienced. He tried to keep his face from contorting in reaction to it, but after another waft hit him he couldn’t help but reach for his nose to plug it. It took a second longer for it to reach Sam and Steve and by that time they were already on their way out of there to the safety of their rooms.

“Woah, wait a minute!” Bucky yelled out in horror. “What the hell have you guys been feeding my kid?!” By the time he looked down at the baby then back up to his friends they had already left and Ellie was starting to stir awake. At first her cries were soft and barely there, Bucky figured it was now or never to make this happen. Also, the last thing he wanted to hear were the uncomfortable cries of his little girl.

“Okay I can do this. C’mon, man. Get it together.” Bucky psyched himself up, unknowingly much like Steve had the first time he had changed Ellie all those days ago. He didn’t have time to think of the weight of the situation. The milestone moment of picking his daughter up for the first time as he pulled the soft white blanket away from her squirming body and reached in for her.

Distant memories floated through his mind of picking up babies in a past life, but much had changed since then. This time would be different than all those others. His head felt light as the little bundle in his hands felt even lighter still. She was tiny and soft and squishy. The smell emitting from her didn’t even seem to phase Bucky anymore, especially the second she opened her pretty little eyes and looked up at him for the first time. 

Bucky was petrified in that instant. What if she cried? What if she didn’t like him? What if she was scared of him? Each question tore at his chest one by one, but he wouldn’t let his fears keep him from being here in this moment with his child.

“Hello beautiful,” he spoke his first words to her tenderly. The low timbre in his voice must have triggered something in her because instead of wailing cries of terror, Ellie smiled. It was more akin to a grin than anything, but Bucky swore that this was the most magical moment he had ever experienced.

It took time and a lot of guesswork, but Bucky eventually succeeded in changing Ellie’s diaper for the first time and he couldn’t have been more proud. Of her. She had just stared up at him the entire time, babbling in her cute little baby talk and being patient with him as he figured out how to clean her from the mess she made. Once he was finished and the offensive diaper was disposed of, Bucky wasn’t sure what to do next, but he knew he wasn’t ready for this time to be over with her. The future was unpredictable and even so far as tomorrow was an uncertain time.

He needed to cherish every moment he had with her, so for the next half hour, Bucky spent his time walking around the apartment with his little girl in his arms. Talking to her was quickly becoming his new favorite thing to do as she seemed to cling to every word he said. Completely enraptured in the way his lips moved and the sounds she couldn’t comprehend. The times when she would smile or giggle were the best and Bucky was sure his heart stopped each time. 

The next morning Steve and Sam woke up earlier than usual, practically jumping with anxiety about Bucky’s first night spent at home with the baby. Upon reaching the living room, though, they learned that all their fears had been completely unfounded. There on the large living room couch was Bucky with his hands protectively cradling Ellie, both sound asleep.

[breezy-cheezy]

Mmmmmkay I have to rant about Nier: Automata for a bit; I accidentally triggered the end of the game (playthrough 2, ending B) last night and stayed up till 2:00 trying to finish the stupid “not allowed to save” phase. But y’aLL IT’S SO GOOD??????? AND 3RD PLAYTHROUGH ISN’T ANOTHER RE-RUN OF THE SAME STORY WE GET MORE STORY AAAAAAAAA

(more under the cut because there is ALOT for those who care;;;;;)

- OK SO THE MUSIC IS AMAZING??? I love LOVE that the music dynamics build in instruments and intensity as you progress towards danger/plot, but also softens again for quieter moments and just...musical storytelling is so sooooo my jam I love it. Also that the music goes 8 bit when 9S hacks stuff, it’s actually kinda cute X’D

- ON THE SUBJECT of 9S being able to hack into enemies and you getting to play that as a little teeny ship shooting down viruses and barriers and whatnot. Genius???? That added SO MUCG to the story on the second playthrough as 9S. Particularly discovering the fact that all of humanity?? Is actually extinct?? ...even BEFORE the aliens/machines attacked earth?? WH A T?????? WHAT THE HECK ARE ANDROIDS FIGHTING FOR THEN????? *every time an android salutes and says “glory to mankind” now* GLORY MY FOOT THEY ALL DEAD MOVE ON--

-  I realize it probably has alot to do with the lore of previous nier games and I’ll probably have to trawl through Wiki pages soon here. Emil himself really broke my heart aaaaaah baby...his side quest is so sad. I also looked at arts and he was a really cute kid?? Before he was turned int the freaky moon skeleton thing...?? Oh my goodness......

-  The secret lunar tear flower room is gorgeous. I just sat there for awhile to soak it all in...the music is so nostalgic and I’ve never heard that song bfore how do y’all DO THAT--

- Emil’s shop is pretty cute. He just drives around the ruins and sells stuff if you shoot him and he’ll stop X’’’D It did ruin alot of serious moments tho. *Engels, talking about how he’d sinned for killing so many androids and choosing death--* “S-A-L-E SAAAALLLEEE~~!! EVERY SALE’S A WIIIINNNNNN~~~~!!!! LALALaaaaaa~~~...” Me: *facepalm* 

- ...I just realized the little tune he sings is a cheerful rendition of the music in the flower room. H E C K

- ANYWAY. Onto the actual game. I really really enjoyed playing as 9S for obvious reasons (bABY) but it really did add so soooo much to the pretty much surface level story when you first play as 2B. Which sums them up pretty well...2B, Battle unit 2, pushes on relentlessly, avoids thinking too hard about things and what she’s doing because oh dear, EMOTION might get in the way...9S, Scanner unit 9, on the other hand, cannot stop his curiosity. He asks questions, he sticks his nose in way further than he should to some dangerous stuff. I think he realized Machines were sentient and had feelings long before 2B, but was in denial for a good while. You learn so much more about what you’re fighting as 9S, because he scans. He observes, searches, discovers. Heck, some hacking caused him to experience empathy for the poor things, to his horror...

- Actually, there are alot of scenes where either 2B or 9S questions why a machine they’re killing is screaming for help, of crying for lost family, or loudly proclaiming loyalty to a king they’ll give their lives for...they stop for a moment, but the other quickly jumps in and reminds them that it’s just imitation. It’s not real, it’s fake, machines can’t feel, yadda yadda...it was odd to me they kept switching off on reminding, but...I think they both know, deep down, what they’re doing. But denial. Because if machines DO have feelings, if they are sentient...what does that mean for all they’ve killed...? Just...hoo BOY the moral dellimas in this game?? Scary good. The quests get that across alot.

- I don’t like the theme of hopelessness in most of the side quests?? I do see many of them as cautionary tales though. We watch many characters lose hope and the will to live after their thing/person they’re living FOR is gone. It makes me worry alot about 2B, who is a soldier through and through. 9S actually does have hopes and dreams for things outside of the war, which I love ;7; they definitely lean on each other alot emotionally on this respect though...I don’t know quite what to make of the themes of the game this far in yet;;;; 

- The love between 9S and 2B is of course my favorite thing. Familial, romantic, idk. I, being me, see it as more platonic, “You’re my rock in this storm” only friend/sister/brother vibe, but as more of a fan of platonic relationships, that is what I tend to do. But 9s following 2B around like a lost puppy and trying to do all he can to help and do his job but also getting bored with said job and trying to make the most of things, asking all the “why” questions, 2B acting irritated but also always keeps him close and makes sure he’s safe....going ballistic when someone hurts her boy ;;v;; I love...2 kids. Their operators and pods are such fun dynamics too~~ 

- As far as endings A and B...DANG. It hit worse because you get backstory on the giant ocean machine (that 9S just hit with a giant missle, which he also had to ride to keep it on the right path...DX NO SELF PRESERVATION) he just...wanted his mama......;;A;;

- Also it’s not fair. 9S is so injured by that missle attack, then I guess Adam finds him and is like “HM. *sticks the lil boy impaled on a wall* Perfect. *proceeds to emotionally and mentally torture said child*“ like YO ADAM THAT’S NOT HOW YOU DO THINGS. Then 2B proceeds to kick down walls for her boy and kills Adam and walks off carrying 9S bridal style into the sunset. Lovely. I have a comic idea for this part, lol.

- Oh I don’t like Adan very much, he is pretty tho?? There was alot of blood though...how do machines bleed?? How do the androids bleed?? What??? I question this alot. 

- HHHHHHH THE BECOME AS GODS CHAPTER SCARED ME I DON’T EVER WANNA DO THAT AGAIN DANG SUICIDAL ROBOTS SCARED ME SO BAD

- Fighting Eve was...annoying but still heartbreaking. He misses his brother so much....even though Adam is a butthead and couldn’t care less he left his little brother behind DX just everything about that fight was Tragic. Also Eve developing more self awareness and realizing “Eve” is a girl’s name and being a bit miffed LOL that’s what y’all get when your first book is the bible kiddos...I realize they’re technically like what? 2 weeks old still???

- The ENDING. From 9S’s perspective is especially scary....the corruption transforming him, 2B coming in to kill him to stop the pain, he BEGGED her to, just....hhhhhhh babies ;;A;; 2B’s soft broken crying over him as she’s forced to strangle her only friend to death just aaaaaAAAAAAAA I DIE ;;;;;;;;~;;;;;;;;;

- I was actually able to cry over it this time coz. It was 2 am. No parent awkwardly watching over my shoulder. Because the pose for this scene is...........super awkward..........like......really........their clothes are super torn up and uh. The first time I was just hoping my parents wouldn’t mistake it for a sex scene or something hhhhhghhhhh;;;;;; I really really REALLY wish the pose was different, the game does need to give the fanservice a rest, at LEAST for a scene this serious DX I’m able to ignore it but when someone else is watching I don’t wanna have to explain;;;;

- That IS a big gripe I have with the game. The fanservice. Just. Why. How is 2B’s outfit practical?? Self destruct mode???? REALLY???? Get this girl battle shorts or something please.....I guess if I looked at it more as a ballet outfit?? I might make some edits when I draw her because GEEZ.

- 9S gets some of this too. Self destruct mode, his shorts are blown off???? WHAT THE HECK???? Welp, never using that again. also why is he the only yorha boy android??????????? X’’’’D They never explain that!!

- BACK TO ENDING STUFF why were there random data hologram girls standing there, watching 2B strangle 9S?? Just...silently there...they weren’t there in the first playthrough?? I’ve seen them a couple times but they’re NEVER mentioned?? WHAT ARE THEY-- is it a glitch?? Wha--

- Teeny 9S being able to dump his consciousness into a giant machine robot guy and cradling 2B in his hand ;;~;; he’s fine y’all I’m so GLAD (I wanna draw something for this scene.... I wanna draw alot of things) 

- I love Pascal. He should adopt all the sad people to his happy peace village. He already started that...what a good egg. 

- The accessories option is lovely. I’ve been running around with 9S with a blue bow in his hair forever now ;7; replaced with the flower in his hair because BOYS AND FLOWERS I LOVE but I think I might give the flower to 2B because she’d look lovely with it and....I miss the blue bow X’D

 - Also the AMOUNT of things this could line up with a KH universe....as far as how androids work, hearts (black boxes), memories making you...you, being able to transfer “hearts” to new bodies when the old is destroyed, POWER OF LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP...there’s alot. I dunno what to do with this info...

Anyway, I have alOT of thoughts and feelings on this game, it’s like...a very cool book. I’ve had trouble putting down. These aren’t even all of them but idk who I can actually rant to so here it is for the Void

I’m so interested to see where it goes! 

[antivanbrandy]

this is... very long. read more at your own risk xD

honestly that addition to that post is really shaking me up because like, holy shit, this is something i have been beating myself up over for a long time. and in before any assumptions, no i do not begrudge these kids their skills or their success, it’s awesome they’re doing so well, and yes i support them, and no i don’t see them as competition! but i am absolutely my own hardest critic and i am constantly disappointed in myself, constantly disappointed it’s taken me 30 years to even start to find the right paths let alone head down them, it’s taken me twice as long to be half as skilled. i don’t have to be competing against others to feel let down by my own lack of progress

it never occurred to me before that i didn’t have a fraction of the readily available resources or support systems of today during my formative art years

i lived in a very strict household. there were two sets of rules there; the ones for everyone else, and the ones for me. i wont go into the guts of it, save to say that my stepfather saw me as competition for my mother’s affection and got satisfaction from taking it out on me

anyway, back on track: even in my earliest memories, i was constantly drawing. all day, every day. but my mother was poor and we didn’t have much. i drew what i could remember of the characters in the disney movies i’d seen, and i had two on vhs, aladdin, and the beauty and the beast. i watched them over and over and drew my lil heart out, but had no real references

when my mother met and married my step father in the mid 90s, the vhs’s were taken away. i was no longer allowed to watch movies, i was not allowed to watch tv. we didn’t have the internet at home, and we had no books. i wasn’t even allowed on the front lawn on my own, so when i say i had no references to draw from, i’m not exaggerating. but i kept on drawing, kept on trying to draw those characters i loved from memory. i did my baby best

in the early 00s i made a new friend at school, and she introduced me to anime. i fell in love with it. she would tape card captor sakura and digimon and bring them into school so i could watch them (we would get to homeroom an hour early and use the tv and vhs player in the room before the school day began). my art style turned into a lanky spiky terrible tryhard anime mess, but i was living. i continued to draw my little heart out, and fill my days with escapist self insert daydreams about my fave animes

this entire time, through both the disney and anime phases of my life, i was going through roughly an entire 500 sheet ream of printer paper every month to two months, as that’s all i had to draw on. i’m not exaggerating when i say i drew a lot. every spare moment i had was devoted to it, and i had huge folder upon folder upon folder full of my drawings

it didn’t affect my grades btw, i was an A&B student

a year or so into this anime phase, i got my first job, and used my pay to buy myself one of those terrible ‘how to draw manga’ books every other payday. i poured over every detail in them, absorbed them like a sponge. they were all i had to reference, all i had to grow from

bloody fucking hell, if i could only go back and slap those damn books out of my stupid, desperate, impressionable little hands, i would. they were poison. they taught me terrible clunky, wildly incorrect habits and practices. they helped crystalise so many bad anatomy habits that i am still to this day trying to unlearn. there’s no doubt in my mind that they, and my naive lauding of them, helped me stagnate and lost me years of potential progress

my parents wanted me to draw realism, but didn’t seem to understand that to draw realistically i needed to... you know... have references to draw from. i was not allowed to draw them, and i was not allowed to leave the house, and i was not allowed to buy any more books. they saw my inability to pull photo-realistic portraits from my ass memory as a personal slight against them

early-mid 00s i found deviantart through the school’s internet and got my first taste of community among artists, and i was instantly enamoured. i didnt have any art friends at school, it was just me. but suddenly, there was art at my fingertips! i made friends, made small progress toward improving. and then my stepfather found out, stormed into school, and demanded they block my access to the site. they did

i was banned from drawing at home. he took my shitty how to draw manga books away and was set to punish me if i drew. i was also at this time being threatened with being pulled out of school and sent somewhere ‘i had no friends'. i was barrelling towards graduation and my part time job took up most of my free time after school and on weekends, and i no longer had my fun hobby and stress relief outlet in drawing, or my art friends on deviantart. i drew when i could, like in a friends school diary, or on receipt paper at work, but my stepfather had a way of knowing everything and punishing me for all of it (this goes well beyond the art thing, but like i said i wont get into the guts of it because it's bleak as shit)

i left home less than six months after i graduated high school, and i had a brief foray into drawing cutesy gory horror themed stuff, but by then i was so used to not drawing that i just... stopped. i was working myself into exhaustion, going to uni, learning to manage living out of home, partying with friends, and juggling it all with my first serious relationship. finding time to draw felt impossible, and because my entire post-stepfather childhood consisted of me having everything i showed interest in derided and taken away, i was used to just... doing without. i just shut down and lost interest to protect myself, because pining is terrible

i all but stopped drawing for about six years. the occasional geometric pattern doodle while i was on the phone, or an eye. no proper drawings

in the end, the thing that got me back into it was when skyrim released in 2011. and it was hard. i knew i didn’t want to draw anime or kitschy cute horror stuff any more, that i had to find my own style, but it was so difficult to develop. i was in my mid 20s at this point, my shitty habits and expectations felt fixed and i didn’t know where to start. i gave deviantart another shot, but it didn’t feel like it fit any more, everyone i knew there was gone i couldn’t find my place. i met some friends, moved over to tumblr. bought my first tablet for my 25th birthday. bought some anatomy books, loomis and hogarth, but to this day i’ve not read them properly. tried to follow artist’s whose style’s i admired. i finally had access to tools and support i needed to improve

six years later, i’m still struggling. it seems insurmountable sometimes. i know i’ve made progress in that six years, but it feels... too little too late. i struggle with wanting to quit every day, and even now i only draw once or twice a month. the amount of art behind me could fill several landfills, they do make a sizeable chunk of at least one. but the road ahead is so overwhelming, and so long. i don’t know where to really start to get better. i know i should study realism, but at this point, even though i now have the tools, the references, at my fingertips thanks to, y’know, being an adult with internet access, i feel trapped by that little girl who kept getting all her attempts to improve shot down. i still feel like that silly little girl who wasted time and money on learning bad habits and bad anatomy. i feel held back, which is foolish, but i do

to wonder what i could have become with access to all this back when i was a teen? with a little support? i can’t even imagine tbh

but realising that i still managed to make it this far despite being cut off and isolated from any kind of community during my formative art years is comforting, in its own way. the thought of where to go from here is still so daunting, but at least i have access to the means for the time being. and who knows? maybe one day it’ll all click, and i’ll be able to make sense of the mechanics of all this. a girl can hope

[disownedbytiime]

Funny how certain media/shows/fandoms will make you like things you never thought you’d enjoy! Honestly I never thought I could ever read an a////bo or m///preg ever, but here I am.

Anyway I got hc about the main mx///xt couples having kids so 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’ll start this by saying that I believe that in the sv and tg worlds m///preg is possible but not in md (since it’s more realistic). And it doesn’t go here but QQ is the same.

– I don’t see Bing//qiu having kids right away. They’d want to live their honeymoon phase for a while (years), and tbh I don’t think LBH is ready to be a dad with all the daddy issues he has. Also I think he’s not yet mature enough to share his husband even with a kid of his own. At the same time, I don’t think SQQ would want to get pregnant because that’s new to him and he’s still coming to terms with the fact that it can happen. Yet, I think years in (and I mean many many years in), when they’re more sure about their relationship and more mature and understood better the world and how they fit into it, they’d agree on having a kid. I kinda see them having a daughter, only one and they’d name her either after BH’s mom or SQQ’s lil sister. I believe they’d be good parents tbh, and it’d be a surprise but I think LBH would be the better parent and oh, he would protect her so much. TLJ would love her btw! But LBH doesn’t like her spending time w him. I think SQQ would want her to cultivate in CQ mountain even tho nobody else wants bc she’s part demon, but YQY would let her. And she’d be in Bai Zhan peak, much to the horror of everybody.

– For Wang//xian, as I said I don’t think they can have kids of their own, but also I don’t see them adopting. I think it’s clear that WWX likes kids (and I’ll always love the moment where he says ‘we only need a little one’ recalling the scene w his parents and comparing it to his relationship with LWJ) but! I think they had enough and will rather now enjoy their life together on their own. Besides, they have tons of juniors that they watch over. I think they’d consider LSZ their kid, and that’s enough. They’ll see him growing up and turning into a fine man. They also watch over JL and the others, but more like in a uncles’ way. So I think they’re good. (I’m obsessed with them living their life like WWX imagined in a cottage and not at the sects)

– As for Hua//lian I do see them having kids, maybe not right away but not that many years in like with BQ. I think HC would be the one who wants them first, and once XL gets over his embarrassment about the pills that the ghosts offered, he’d accept bc he’s pretty whipped (tbh both of them are), and after the first one he’d want more. And I kinda see them having 2-3. Boy and girl (or two boys and girl) or all boys. I do, however, believe that they wouldn’t be the best parents out there. They’d try, but they have so many responsibilities that it may be difficult. Fortunately they have E//ming and Ruo///ye to babysit! And also YY and maybe BY and PS and the r//ain master?? Imagine even HX. They’d have tons of uncles (and adopted siblings) that would care for them. They’d even have cousins! (C/uocuo and G/uzi). Anyway depending on when this happens and if SQX is still alive, he’d be the cool but bad influence uncle. But other than him, most of the others are cool uncles that will watch over the kids while the parents are too infatuated with each other. And oh! When QR comes back he’d also be terrible influence on him! He’d tell him he’ll eat him and G/uzi would have to stop him, but I also headcanon that when he comes back, he’s less… gremlin and less intense. He’d still be a nuisance but somehow calmer and would rather spend his free days with his son, so I think he’d enjoy being a gremlin uncle. And it may remind him of his and XL’s infancy. HC doesn’t want him near his kids, but yk it sometimes just happens.

Now! The other canon ship and other non canon ones.

– Mo//shang would definitely have many many kids. I think it’s a common hc that they’d want kids bc of how neglected they were when they were kids. And also bc MBJ needs a heir. So they’d have many. And I think SQH would be scared at first –just like with SQQ, this didn’t exist in their world– and okay, maybe every time he’d get scared, but once he sees the kids, he’d be fine with it. Until next time. They’d have both girls and boys, but I’m not sure yet what i want the first one to be. Surprisingly they’d be the best parents from all this list. I think that LBH would see their growing family and that’s one of the things that pushes him into wanting kids btw. The half demon/half human kids would grow in both demon and human realm, but I don’t see them getting into CQ mountain as disciples. Or maaaybe one? Only one from all the bunch who’s more human-like than the others. Maybe into Qing Jing peak to annoy SQQ or in the one MQF is bc I also see them being healers. In any case, many of the kids inherited the love for bad writing from their dad, something that SQQ loathes. ((Or maybe twins get in, one is QJ and the other in that other one, but both kids pester their uncle SQQ daily with their writings!))

– Bing//jiu would definitely have many kids. Not exactly bc SJ wants, but LBH would want to have him pregnant all the time to keep him there and show everybody he’s his. SJ would say how disgusting it is, but secretly he’d love it too. He’d give LBH more kids than his other wives and he’d take pride of their kids being “superior.” Their fist kid would be a daughter (like with BQ). They’d be okayish parents, LBH would always be away ruling the world so he’s kinda absent, but he’d lavish them with gifts and nice food and other stuff. SJ would take care of them and of their education. He’d be stern but he’d also be quite spoiling –something BG doesn’t like–. We just have to keep SHL away from them btw.

– LMY/SHL (idk their ship name) wouldn’t have kids I think. I definitely don’t see SHL being a good mother at all, and honestly LMY? Keep your literature away from kids, it’s not appropriate. Buuuut maybe they (mostly SHL) end up roped into babysitting BQ’s and MS’s babies and oh she’d hate it and would ask LMY for help (maybe MS’s kids would get their love for writing from here too), and after a while, after they grow up, they may start thinking it wouldn’t be such a bad idea. Until the next mo//shang baby comes and they’re like: uhhh not again…. So yeah I think they wouldn’t.

– Quan//yin wouldn’t have them bc YY is too busy and he doesn’t want them and QYZ is basically still a kid.

– Beef//leaf…. Ah, realistically it’d be the easiest since the both of them change forms a lot, but I think they’d wait also. (They need to get over their traumas first). Since I firmly believe that SQX prefers their female form and HX their male form, SQX would carry the kid. I think they agree on having only one but they end up with twins, and that’s okay. HX would be the responsible father with SQX being more scatterbrained, yet he’d try hard. (After watching his nephews before he’d know what to do better!) (I’m ignoring canon a lot here, this is in a world where they are together and SQX is immortal again).

– Xue//Xiao and Xi//Yao are unfortunately </3 not possible anymore so I won’t say much, but if they weren’t dead Xue//Xiao wouldn’t have any bc they have A//Qing already and ngl I doubt they’d be good parents at all. Xi//Yao do deserve kids and I think they’d be nice parents, albeit too protective.

– I’m not super into this ship, but since I saw some art earlier (the first I ever see) I’ve been thinking about them. I think FX and Jian//Lan should be given a new opportunity and they should give C/uoCuo a sibling! An alive one. (If it makes sense bc the mother is a ghost herself). I think they could make it work.

And last, again it doesn’t go here but:

– Yan//Shen should not adopt more kids. They have 5 already and ngl SQ is not the best dad. He kept collecting kids and then abandoning them to save the world. Not cool. YWS seems a bit better but at the same time he left YSY when he was like 10 and then disappeared for 10 years, so yk first take care of the kids you already have and then you can think about having more.

30K Celebration: This Or That?

Missed yesterday’s Favorite Things About Me? Click HERE!

1.      Lace or velvet? Velvet, and I’m not saying that just because I love red velvet cake….though that may have something to do with it.

2.      Paperbacks or hard covers? Paperbacks. That way, I can bend it if I need to while reading.

3.      Forest or beach? I prefer beaches; they feel safer to me. Sort of ironic because I can barely swim.

4.      Thunderstorm or sunny? Thunderstorms. Bright sunshine hurts my eyes.

5.      Vanilla or honey scented? That’s…that’s hard! Maybe vanilla? I really like the smell of honey, though…

6.      Hair up or hair down? I almost always wear my hair down, unless my hair refuses to cooperate. I’d love to tie my hair in twin tails, but I just can’t do nice looking ponytails.

7.      Moon or sun? 100% in support of the moon. And no, it’s not a phase.

8.      Romantic love or platonic love? I think both are really important, but platonic love needs to come first in a relationship, I think.

9.      Coffee or tea? I’m more of a tea person, but I do drink the occasional sweetened mocha.

10.   Comedy or horror movie? Horror movies seem really…fake to me. They also make me really paranoid. So, I’d say comedies.

11.   Chokers or necklaces? I’ve always liked chokers, but I actually wear neither.

12.   Sunrise or sunset? Sunset! It’s often more colorful.

13.   Chocolate or vanilla? Chocolate is where it’s at! Truthfully though, vanilla ice cream can be great when added to other things in my opinion.

14.   Flannel or sweaters? Flannel, because I just have that flannel aesthetic.

15.   Mermaids or fairies? I’m going to go with mermaids. I’ve always wanted to be able to explore the sea and swim without fear I’m going to drown. Being able to breathe down there would be so cool.

16.   Books or movies? For some reason, most movies don’t capture my attention that well! I’d say books.

17.   Roses, daisies or lilies? Hmmm…. I’d probably go with roses. I’m a sucker for roses.

18.   Heavy sleeper or light sleeper? I am a light sleeper. It takes me about two to three hours to fall asleep. It…sucks.

19.   Silent or white noise? If by white noise you mean fan (which I assume you do), white noise. My noisemaker helps me sleep significantly better.

20.   Single pillow or many pillows? I have seven pillows on and around my bed. And no, that’s not because people with more pillows are often more depressed. Or maybe it is? Dunno. I just love pillows!

21.   Scented candles or incense? Willing to say I go NUTS in candle stores, scented candles.

22.   Blueberry or strawberry? Strawberry! It’s always been my favorite. It’s also my sister’s favorite…or was, until she became allergic to them.

23.   Poetry or short stories? Poetry. I prefer my stories long! Speaking of stories, I’m doing camp NANOWRIMO this month. Wish me luck!

24.   Sunny days outside or rainy days inside? Rainy days inside. It’s less depressing to be inside when it’s rainy. Also, we don’t get a ton of sun around here.

25.   Coke or Pepsi? I hate to be controversial here, but I prefer coke. Pepsi is a little too sweet for my own personal tastes.

26.   Stay in or go out on the weekends? I’m definitely a stay in kind of gal. My weekends are for recuperating from weekly stress.

27.   Hugs or kisses? My s/o and I much prefer hugging. We have only kissed a few times. Truth be told, I don’t think either of us really know how.

28.   Museums or zoos? I prefer zoos. Animals are cool. Also, museums are usually more expensive.

29.   Dimples or collarbones? Collarbones! My collarbone is literally the best thing ever and I love it.

30.   Cactuses or roses? I’m such a cactus. I’m not even going to lie. Also, cactuses are really cool and usually small. Like me.

31.   Dress for comfort or for style? Comfort. As long as I feel good, I don’t usually care what others think

32.   Erasing or crossing out things? I like to erase things, but I often cannot since I prefer writing in pen.

33.   Eat all day or sleep all day? Sleep all day. I am in a constant state of tired.

34.   Earth tones or pastels? Pastels. I’m cliché like that.

35.   Lemon or lime? I guess I’d have to go with lemons, though life never gave me any.

36.   Cloud watching or stargazing? As much as I prefer stargazing, it’s often really cloudy where I live. So, most of the time I watch clouds.

37.   Kneesocks or thigh-highs? What kind of question is this? Kneesocks, duh!

38.   History or mythology? While I love reading about history, mythology is way cooler.

39.   Dark chocolate or milk chocolate? Milk chocolate. I am a wuss who doesn’t like healthier things.

40.   Sweaters or hoodies? Willing to say I’m wearing a hoodie right now, hoodies.

41.   Serious or light hearted? The weird thing is, I’m kind of both. It really depends on how comfortable I am around you (as well as my mood)

42.   Early bird or night owl? Night owl. Being up early is….not fun for me.

43.   Long hair or short hair? Everyone prefers me with short hair. I prefer keeping it long.

44.   Cuddly or hands off? Overly cuddly. I need my affection.

45.   Cherry or blue raspberry? I’m going to go with blue raspberry. It reminds me of one of my OCs. It’s also cool because it doesn’t exist in nature. Like, who came up with blue raspberry flavoring? What does it taste like? Blue? Nobody knows.

46.   Pro or anti marshmallow? …people are anti marshmallow?

47.   Strawberry or mint? I love mint! Especially if it’s mint chip.

48.   Neat handwriting or messy handwriting? My handwriting is atrocious. Yes, I can write nicely. I just don’t care enough to slow down and do so.

49.   Waffles or pancakes? Pancakes! …because reasons.

50.   Orange juice or lemonade? I used to hate orange juice. I’m okay with it now, but I still love lemonade more.

51.   Closed mouth smile or open mouth smile? For the longest time, I tried smiling with my mouth closed. Turns out I prefer smiling with my mouth open. Plus, you get to see my lil pointy teeth when I do!

52.   Aliens or ghosts? Aliens! Ghosts actually terrify me ._.

53.   Vampires or werewolves? Vampires. Seriously, have you seen girls with sharp teeth? Literally the best.

54.   Ok or okay? Usually I use ok. Sometimes I don’t. And that’s okay. It really depends on the context.

55.   Glass half empty or glass half full? I’m trying to become a glass half full person, but I’m definitely a glass half empty person. I’m pessimistic.

56.   Dolls or stuffed animals? Stuffed animals are far better for cuddling.

57.   Hot showers or cold showers? Always hot showers. I shower when I’m cold, so I need hot water to warm myself up.

58.   Astrology or MBTI? I generally lean towards MTBTI, since my astrological sign changed when they added that one extra sign. I still consider myself an Aquarius (though I don’t really take either MBTI or astrology seriously; it’s just fun stuff to consider). As for my MBTI type, I’m an INTP.

59.   Times New Roman or Calibri? Calibri. It has a nice name. Times New Romance…did I just type Times new Romance? Nice job, me.

60.   Digital art or traditional art? While I doodle all day in my binder, I prefer to draw on my tablet. That way, I can erase my mistakes.

61.   Starry Night or Mona Lisa? Starry Night ftw

62.   Nutella or peanut butter? You can hate me all you want, but I like peanut butter better. I guess I’m not huge into hazel nuts (which are in Nutella).

63.   John Cena or Rickroll? I can’t rickroll on my trumpet, so clearly the John Cena theme. No, really. It’s pretty easy to play, actually.

64.   Windows or Mac? I come from a long family of Windows users. I have been born into my place already.

65.   Hard pretzels or soft pretzels? I like my pretzels like me; soft. I do like hard pretzels, though. Just not as much.

66.   Goldfish or Cheez-its? I love goldfish, to be quite honest. They’re always so happy.

67.   Peaches or plums? I haven’t had a plum in ages, so I’d have to say peaches. I’ll have to try one again sometime soon.

68.   Piercings or tattoos? It depends on the person they’re on.

69.   Jumping in leaves or jumping in puddles? I jump in puddles a lot, to be honest. Do I immediately regret it afterwards? You bet.

70.   Visual learner or auditory learner? I’m actually neither! I am a tactile learner-I have to be doing things to actually understand anything. This is because I space out very, very easily.

71.   Shipping or casually being in fandoms? Actually, I’m neither. I like to stay as far away from fandoms as possible. Most of the things I like have very trashy fandoms. Even looking at fan art sometimes is a struggle for me. Come on, I just wanted fan art without THAT. Is that too much to ask?!?

72.   Singing or dancing? I can’t do either, but I sing a lot.

73.   Deep space or deep sea? Deep sea! Have you seen some of the creatures down there? They’re rad.

74.   Board games or video games? Definitely video games. Board games usually require other people to play with you.

75.   Wine or beer? Neither. My medicines are very reactive, so I avoid drinking.

76.   Facial hair or clean shaven? I generally prefer clean shaven guys, but some people can really rock facial hair.

77.   Sausage or bacon? I prefer sausage. In all due honesty, I’m not huge into bacon. Yes, I said it. Sue me.

78.   Snakes or sharks? I think both are really, really cool. If I had to pick, I’d say snakes…but not by much.

79.   Evening shower or morning shower? I shower at night. It’s a great way to calm down and relax.

80.   Glasses or contacts? Have you seen people with glasses? Best.

81.   Hardwood or carpet? Carpet isn’t cold on my feet, so definitely carpet.

82.   Fiction or nonfiction? I prefer fiction. If I am to read, I want to immerse myself in a land of fantasy.

83.   Jello or pudding? Pudding! I associate pudding with marching band trips, so I prefer pudding.

84.   Early morning studying or right before the test studying? I usually cram study five minutes before a test. I have trouble remembering things, so studying is usually pointless for me.

85.   Long nails or short nails? Due to my nervous habits, I often claw at my face. Having long nails doesn’t help with that.

86.   Love letters or serenades? I love to sing to my sweetheart, who claims I have a good voice. I think this is an attempt to make me feel better about it lol

87.   Long hugs or short ones? Long hugs. I love hugs. Hugs are the best.

88.   Chamomile or lavender? I like lavender better, personally. It’s also more soothing to me.

89.   Little spoon or big spoon? I am such a little spoon. Unfortunately, I am the little spoon that likes being the big spoon, but cannot.

90.   Texting or calling? I prefer texting. Calling people isn’t fun. It makes me uncomfortable.

91.   One episode per week or marathoning? Neither, really. I prefer to watch a couple each day and finish it in three or so days. I also like to take huge breaks before starting new series, especially anime.

92.   Glitter or jazz hands? Okay, I like jazz hands. Glitter is cool, but I already have glitter in my life. I need jazz hands. Oh, and more cowbell.

93.   Cake or pie? I prefer pie. I have no real reason for this. Cake’s okay, it’s just sometimes a bit dry. Maybe it’s my love for berries that makes pies more appealing. Or maybe it’s because the word pie is amazing.

94.   Bowling or skating? Definitely bowling. I have skated (and ice skated) a couple times. All of them were disasters; I am too uncoordinated.

95.   Pizza or pasta? Why must you make me choose? I love both! If I really had to, I’d maybe say pasta (since it’s a lot more versatile). That doesn’t mean I would give up pizza, though.

96.   Nail polish or eyeshadow? Nail polish doesn’t usually get in my eyes, so nail polish.

97.   Movies in the theater or at home? At home. That way, I can multitask.

98.   Eggnog or hot chocolate? Hot chocolate! Eggnog is just okay, if you ask me. It’s also a seasonal thing-hot chocolate is usually all winter.

99.   Hoods or hats? Hoods. I don’t look good in hats.

100.  Private confessions or public anon confessions? You tell me! I’ll be doing confessions in a few days as well.
