#what didnt One Direction sell

moon melon

—kenma x reader ! oneshot

for some reason, you had your happy crush—kozume kenma—added on roblox. you can search every nook and cranny of your brain and you wouldn't be able to recall a single moment you'd interact with him.

you tried swiping past appl_p1 with grow a garden under, trying to find actual friends you can play grow a garden with.

none. other than some random people you added two years ago.

you decided to play on a public server—fighting against your moral compass saying NO—and risk your ginormous golden eggplant getting stolen. and also fighting against all thoughts that hope the roblox gods bless you and send you to the same server as kozume.

the screen loaded, slightly lagging because of your shit internet, and started walking around.

what a beautiful—oh my fucking GOD? what a sprinkler method abuser! you thought to yourself when just a little less than half of your garden was totally eaten by a shit ton of oversized moon melons.

but what was more interesting is the collect button tempting you to steal that one moon melon.

the colors danced around your screen, luring you in like a toddler watching dancing fruits; rainbow aura surrounding the big, disco mutated moon melon.

your finger hovered over the fruit. not only was it disco, it was also gold, wet, moonlit, AND bloodlit.

it's only 37 robux. imagine how much that would sell for?

what can i lose? other than the robux, that is.

you clicked the collect button, paid the 37 robux, and happily steal the fruit that would make you a billionaire. for a second, you felt like the most successful thief in the world—HELL, maybe you could even challenge bonnie & clyde—but good things come to an end.

a bacon head approached you, obviously furious.

appl_p1: my moon melon appl_p1: GIVE BACK MY appl_p1: #### ### ############# appl_p1: i have ten nukes directed to ur house

oh? and all you can do is smile at the sight of kozume berating you over some stupid game. for all he knows it's actually you behind the screen. so it's fine. you calmly type back in chat,

[user]: lolol [user]: what a nerd [user]: getting pissy boiiii

you scoffed at myself, fighting with my crush.

you noticed his character now still, unlike earlier which was jumping around you. you pursed your lips, anticipating everything but what he was going to say.

appl_p1: [name]. appl_p1: give me my MOON MELON appl_p1: IM ACTUALLY GOING TO POUNCE ON YOU appl_p1: DONT GO TO SCHOOL TOMORROW

oh, so he remembered. HE KNOWS WHO I AM! he remembers that he added ME. MY roblox account.

it's like a switch turned on in you—that 37 robux turned into nothing as you gifted back his moon melon and jumped around his avatar, hoping that he'd forgive you even without an apology.

but you guess gifting his fruit back was an apology?

[user]: sorry kozume [user]: i didnt knoe it wad u [user]: promise i wouldnt even even graze my finger tip against ur fence

his character then jumped around yours, holding out an abnormally large, shocked mushroom. then the gift thingy popped up on the side of your screen.

...

WHAAAAATT!!!

[user]: WHAT appl_p1: take this one instead appl_p1: figured u needed more appl_p1: and call me kenma appl_p1: kozume is so... idk i dont like it

you felt heat rush to my face when you accepted the gift, holding yourself back from squealing like a rat at 12 in the morning.

appl_p1: tho i gotta admit ur weird as hell

but that didn't matter to you. you jumped around his avatar, typing different varieties of typos in thank yous.

you favorited the fruit in your inventory and teleported to your garden to see what was up. it was actually just an excuse to prove to kozume that you don't have a crush on him and that you actually am just a normal person playing with him that joined his server out of the millions of public servers and hahahahahahshaahahahahhdhhdhdndndnd

ok. your brain short-circuited. you were mindlessly jumping around in your garden and climbing the trees, finding something to do in the game.

appl_p1: wanna play vb legends?

you swore you envisioned steam coming from your scalp from how broken your brain was at the moment. giddiness actually made you physically ill.

[user]: Ondl [user]: o [user]: ok [user]: tomrorow. bai kemna

and with that, you swiftly left the game and proceeded to stay up until 4 AM daydreaming about kenma.

holy shit post. sorry for ass grammar brah... writing is NOT my strong suit

Do it for me.

Feat. Toji Fushiguro, female reader

TW. Smut, filming, sexual content

WC: 2k

note | this used to be a fic I did for another character two years back but it didnt really feel like it fitted it anymore so I felt the need to change and tweak certain things and make it about Toji instead. Hope yall enjoy!

It was a quiet night. You were sitting in the dining room across the man who you wished was something more than just a late-night call. Moments like these were rare though, since both of you agreed that this would be just something casual, no strings attached, so more intimate moments were nothing but a hopeless dream. ‘’It’s easier for us both, don’t ya think?’’, you remembered his words that night when you agreed to this. You bit down on your bottom lip recalling it, hoping he wouldn’t notice the sudden shift in the atmosphere. He of course didn’t.

''I've been thinking-'', Toji spoke to you in a steady tone

''Do tell me'', you spoke back with just the same one as you were munching on the food you prepared for the two of you.

''I was thinking we should film a sex tape'', you immediately choked a little on the food you were chewing as you instantly started coughing out. Your cheeks turned crimson red and Toji just smirked in your direction knowing he managed to catch you off guard and fluster you.

''Don't say such things while I’m fucking eating Toji'', you took a napkin to clean around your mouth.

''So, I didn't hear a no... so, is that a yes?'', Toji's tone hopeful, you could see he was getting excited.

''Why do we even need to do that?'', you spoke back finally after cleaning yourself. You would be lying if the idea didn't excite you and turn you on in a way but you would not show that just off the bat.

‘’Think it’s hot, we could even sell it for some quick money, but if you don’t wanna, no pressure''

There was no response from your side so Toji was just about to drop the idea as he didn't want to pressure you to do something you're not aboard with.

''Okay-'', you spoke lowly.

A big smirk was tugging on his face while the look in his eyes was deeply lustful. He jumped out of his seat as he headed to you and picked you up.

''Toji put me the fuck down- I am quite capable of walking by myself'', you screamed at him as you squirmed in his hold

''No can-do princess'', he chuckled making his way to your shared bedroom. He lets you down on the bed as he goes to set up a camera. You expected the moment the light turned red he will join you in bed but instead he sat down on the chair next to the camera, setting it up at just the perfect angle.

''Strip for me'', his tone was lower and the words he spoke were like an order which you immediately obeyed.

Your hands moved slowly to your top as you started unbuttoning it. The silk shirt gently sliding down your shoulders and off of you. You threw it somewhere across the room, it didn't matter. Your hands moved to your breast which were still covered with a bra as you gently squeezed them, looking at your boyfriend straight in the eyes instead of the camera.

''Ah-ah princess, eyes on the camera'', he smirked at you his hand moving to palm the evident tent forming in his pants. Oh, he was already hard.

You turned your head from him to the camera as you continued to take your clothes off. Your pants coming off next along your panties. You soon after unclasped your bra and threw it at him which he catches straight away.

''Now show that pretty pussy for the camera baby and touch yourself just as you do when I am away'', you felt yourself turn completely red, how did he-, you remembered you promised him that you wouldn't touch yourself and him telling you he is the only one allowed to make you cum, yet on some nights you just couldn't help it.

''Oh? You seem surprised princess. You know I have my way in finding out everything'', he smirked at you. ''But- I'll leave the punishment for later, now show me how you touched yourself, how you touched what belongs to me'', you bit down on your bottom lip. You let your hands roam across your body. One hand making its way to squeeze your breast again and the other trailing lover to your clit as you gently circled it.

Toji hummed pleased with the sight in front of him. Your fingers then made their way to your awaiting hole as you gathered the slick and soon after pushed them between your folds. There was something exciting with him sitting there and just observing you, you could feel yourself getting wetter by the second. You started letting out low moans as you worked your fingers, but you needed him, there was no way you could reach your high like this without him.

''N-need you-'', you spoke through moans. He moved his eyes from your pussy to look at your face. ''Hm? What did you say? Speak up.'', he started to tease

''D-daddy. I- I need you inside me'', you somehow manage to mutter out. You could see the proud smirk flashing right at you as he stood up from the armchair and headed towards, the light on the camera still flashing red. He took off his shirt and threw it in some corner of the room.

''Take my pants off for me'', he was standing next to the bed looking down on you. You crawled to the edge of the bed as you quickly moved your hands towards his belt as to unbuckle it for him. He slapped your hands away instantly.

''With your mouth''

You looked up at him doe-eyed as you decided to not test your luck and just obey. You somehow managed to unbuckle his belt and pull the zipper down with your teeth while in the process never taking your eyes off him. Oh, how he enjoyed the sight, if it were even possible he was turned on even more by each second. Suddenly you felt him grip your hair and pull your head up so you were looking at him.

''Should we try anal tonight baby?'', he spoke with faux sympathy.

You shook your head no to his question. ''I don't think I can handle that'', you spoke back. Toji tilted his head with a pout on his face. ''Open your mouth'', again it was an order and you obediently did so. Two of his fingers were shoved to the back of your throat. ''Hmm I trained you well''

''Turn around, ass up'', he spoke to you as you immediately did what he said and you could feel him distance himself from the bed as he was about to go and take something. Not long after you could feel his presence again behind you.

''My bitch has the best ass ever'', he said, rubbing your ass right before you felt a sharp sting from an object coming in contact with your skin.

''Fuck-'' you screamed out as you immediately pulled a pillow to muffle your scream.

''Count-'', he spoke to you before his belt came into contact with your already reddening skin again

''TWO-'', you cried out.

Slap.

Slap.

Slap.

You were counting out, barely holding your composure. The pain was overwhelming but the pleasure was overtaking your body.

''Whose pussy is this?'', Toji inquired before giving you another slap

You mumbled some curses at him not replying to his question, your head still buried in the pillow.

He gripped on your hair as he pulled you back to his chest

''I can’t hear you slut so ill repeat again, who does this pussy belong to?'', a harsh hit of his belt lands on your already bruised ass

''fuck, is yours-'' – you screamed out, tears forming on your waterline. He loosens the grip on your hair as your head gets shoved back into the pillow.

He let his belt down as he moved back to you one hand finding its place on your hip as he moved his cock to your awaiting hole with the other hand. He thrusted his dick fully inside of you as you let a loud gasp. ''Ahh-'' you screamed out loudly. It didn't matter how much time the two of you fucked, you could never be able to actually adjust to his size and that made his ego fly out of the roof. He gripped your chin harshly as he pulled you against his chest. He was pumping in and out of you mercilessly. Your moans were getting louder and louder by each passing second

''You like that hmm? Like it when I fuck you like a cheap whore?'', his pace was just getting faster and his thrusts were harder. It seems as if his main goal was to pound you until you went dumb. From all of the pleasure you couldn't even manage to form a single sentence.

''What's the matter baby? Already going dumb on me? It’s too early.'', nothing but faux sympathy yet again leaving his lips. He pulled out of you as you slumped down completely on the bed. You believe you already came twice in that short period of time but this was far from done.

''We're not done yet'', he took you in his arms as he sat down on the edge of the bed. ''Look at that mirror'', he pulled you on his lap and turned you around to face the mirror.

''You're going to ride me now until you make me cum and while you're doing that your eyes should be on that mirror so you can see how much of a whore you are for me 'kay?'', he patted your head as he brushed off the tears that were staining your cheeks. Soon after he harshly slams you down on his thick cock. You started moving yourself up and down on his dick, trying your absolute best to keep your eyes on the mirror as he said. You could not handle any more of his punishments, it was already enough as it was. He let your sloppy attempts go on for a while but he was growing impatient.

''Is my little slut too tired to ride daddy's big cock?'', he cooed. ''N-no...'' you tried to speak back to him, trying your best to increase the pace of your bouncing on his cock and pleasing him as you failed terribly.

With his patience just at the limit he grabs your hips as he slams you down hard and starts bouncing you on his cock by himself. Your tongue falling out of your mouth as a little drool formed on the side of it.

''I'll need to train you more then baby- you're gonna be daddy's perfect cocksleeve one day'', he kissed your forehead as he kept the same pace. ‘’Stop Toji, fuck- feels weird.’’, you tried squirming in his hold trying to get away but he kept a firm hold on you as he kept going. You felt something uncoil and the next moment you squirted all over his dick some landing on the mirror across from you. ‘’Holy shit, that’s a fucking first’’, he let out a laugh impressed at how much of a whore you were for him tonight, he tipped you over the edge. He could feel himself getting closer and closer, that sight he just experienced engraved in his brain already. With a few harder thrusts into your sloppy cunt he emptied himself inside of you. Your whole body felt numb as you fell backwards onto his chest. He slowly pulled out of you, laying you down on the bed next to him. ‘My pretty girl-'' he ran his hand through your hair as he hummed. ''You did so fucking well for me’’. You just hummed back at him with not much energy left in your body to even respond, as you dozed off. You’ll leave the recurring thoughts of having something more with this man than just casual sex for another day.

Traitor AU! 141 x male reader.

TW: Violence. Mentions of a knife? Reader going through physical torture. Youve been warned

Theres so real mention of pronouns but reader is a male. Minors, fem alligned do not interact. My works are purely for 18 + and are male centered. Thank you.

- Price who gives the order after a tip off directing them in your direction. For what? For giving out info on the recent mission that got them ambushed. You who wakes up in an interrogation room by freezing cold water being splashed over you.

- Ghost who carries out the first part of the punishments they deemed reasonable for your betrayal. Choosing which bones to break that would cause the most pain and injury to you. Starting with bashing in your knees to make sure you wouldnt be walking out of there. Next deciding on breaking a few ribs. To hell you be damned. Each bone broken had you writhing in pain and pleading with him that it wasnt you.

- Ghost who leaves you with several broken bones all over. None of them even caring to question you. Its not like he comes back either. No he stays away after that being unable to look at your face without seeing a traitor. He had half a mind to go back in to break your jaw or give you a black eye but that was to be left up to soap or gaz.

- Soap. Who wasnt usually quick to anger but this? Was unforgivable and you deserved it right? Each time he took the knife to add another cut somewhere a small voice was telling them there was something wrong. But he shook it off taking out his frustration on you cutting you up. Swapping out different blades depending on how angry he was feeling in the minute.

- Gaz who doesnt even go when its his turn instead ignoring your pleas for them to listen. Just watching you through the two way mirror as other soldiers go in and take there revenge for you betraying them. Watching how they beat you bloody, broke bones like ghost had done, cut you up like soap had done and spread the word like price had done.

- You who gave up fighting against it all after 3 days of the constant beatings and torment you were going through. You tried convincing yourself that they were only angry because they thought it was you. Theyd surely come rescue out of there as soon as they came to their senses. Right? Right??

- You who gave up the hope after two weeks. None of them had returned leaving it up to the other soldiers to torture and do what the wanted to you. Your body had numbed most of the pain. Even when a soldier took a pilars to your teeth. Ripping some of them out. When said solider then broke your jaw with the same pilars leaving your mouth a bloody mess.

- Price who was going mad at not finding anything that he could properly pin the betrayal on you. All he had was the tip off but even then was it true? No. It wasnt. Ghost had caught the proper mole. The one who was selling information. The one who had framed you.

- Price who demanded all torture towards you stop. But it wasnt quick enough. Most of the wounds left were infected from being left untreated in a damp room. Even medics were sure you'd heal properly because they werent allowed in to asses your injuries until now.

- Ghost who felt guilty but didnt show it. He was disgusted with how easily they all believed it, how quick they were to resort to torture. Soap who couldnt believe the little voice in the back of his head that he had been ignoring was telling the truth. After seeing you in the hospital covered in bandages and casts for the broken bones he knew he shouldve listened to it but he was blinded by his anger.

- Gaz who had refused to visit you, almost like he had refused to torture you. It didnt mean he wasnt as bad as the rest of them. No he had let others do his piece for him which made him just as bad. Now all he cpuld do was watch you through the mirror to your hospital room hoping you'd heal.

- Price who was in denial over what he had done. Refusing to accept he had given the order. He had been to visit seeing you hook up to the machines the fact that you would have to take leave for who knows how long. And the possible chance that you would never be the same. Torture did things to people, altered their mindsets and he was worried that would happem to you.

- You would didnt properly wake up until a month later, medics having to sedate you when you did wake up since the pain was clearly unbearable from the way you thrashed and squirmed in the bed. You who had to be strapped down so you didnt fall and worsen the injuries that were struggling to heal already.

- You who couldnt even look at any of them when they finally came to visit. Just staring up at the ceiling. Deep in thought remembering the harsh words they screamed at you the way they tortured you in that room for 17 days straight. They tried their best to talk to you or get you to look at them but you couldnt. Nor would you. You didnt feel safe around them. A chill piercing you each time they even touched you.

-now came the question was what would you do when you healed?

Pt 2???

Thinking about the Aladdin franchise and how bold it was as a franchise......Not to rely on Jafar as the big bad even though they easilly could have

Alddin of course was one of the big films of the Disney renaissance,and one of the most memorable aspect was the evil vizir /sorcerer Jafar ,voiced brillaintly by Johanthan Freeman .And unlike a lot of Disney villains.....HE ACTUALLY SURVIVES THE MOVIE

Now Aladdin was a huge hit,to the point A Saturday Morning cartoon was developed .Now to my mind the obvous thing to do is make JAfar the big bad of the show ......But thats not what they did and in hindsight I think what they did was a little brillaint

The multi part pilot was turned instead into a direct to Video movieReturn of JAfar ,and the big selling point was Jafar is back for revenge......And the book is closed on him as at the end of the movie.....HE DIES

And while he appears in other Disney media ,in the universe of the Aladdinverse this is the end of Jafars story ,aside from a crossover with Hercules which shows Jafar in the Underworld

As a kid this bothered me:Why let him live just to kill him,why not have him appear in the show proper ......As an adult I think its brillaint

Yes the show COULDVE used him a bunch....But if you use a villain too much it dilutes them .It also gave the creators room to create new memorable villains for the both the show and sequels that have stayed with fans for decades like Mozenrath,Mirage and Sa'luk

It opened creativity and they didnt have to fall back on just one bad guy

so one of my fav people on here commented on my last post about how i dont believe sex work is work asking my opinion on decrim. im just going to copy paste it here because i want to clarify/explain my position/say how i feel. it is unedited so please forgive me if im repeating myself or saying shit dumb or whatever:

it was very bad!! idk, i only started being able to think all the stuff that happened during that time wasnt all my fault like a few months ago. therapy bro. i do i do -- so, i like the nordic model/equality model/survivor-led model, because its three tenets are this: 1. decriminalize sex work! 2. criminalize sex buying! 3. provide support services for those wishing to exit prostitution, such as safe and affordable housing, education/training, childcare, healthcare (physical and mental), and emotional support from peers and other people. i like it because it safeguards prostitutes from prosecution while prosecuting sex buyers/pimps and offers people ways out if they want to get out, which in my experience everyone ive ever known wants out. nobody at the street level likes it. what i dont like about full decrim (which is decrimming SEX BUYING in addition to prostitution) is that it tacitly normalizes exploitation and abuse (most prostitutes are in the game due to financial coercion of many kinds, including but not limited to poverty, addiction, homelessness, etc, and i believe any paid sex act by coerced people is rape), absolves pimps and sex buyers of their direct responsibility for that exploitation and abuse, and does not decrease rates of trafficking/violence/stds/etc the way that the nordic/equality/survivor-led model does. (gonna continue this in next comment cause i dont think tumblr comments let you do paras and this is probably long)

i do believe that people should have the freedom to do what they want! i do not think entering into prostitution or other forms of paid sexual acts is a good idea for anyone, but hey, other people are not me. i am sure there are people who dont experience the exploitation and abuse and vast, vast unhappiness that me and the majority of other prostitution survivors (i say this because me and many others have been in very real danger of losing our lives while selling sex) did and do, and thats good! i do not want people to go through what i went through! BUT i think touting the 'sex work is work' slogan and these tales of these 'happy hookers' comes at the expense of the most vulnerable and marginalized. we hear about people selling pics/videos or selling sex for beaucoup bucks as escorts or working as dominatrixes or whatever, but you know who they dont show us? people who are selling sex to survive. people who are selling sex to fund their addictions. people who are unhappy and exploited and sick and miserable and unprotected by anyone in the world, because nobody gives a fuck. i havent seen anyone engaged in street-level prostitution who was happy doing what they did. when i was in the life i engaged in a lot of self-deception and posturing to deal with it. i had to think i was a wild and cool and adventurous person who didnt give a fuck about anything. i was often homeless and i was addicted to heroin. i kept up with that posturing until i just...couldnt. until things got too desolate, and too many bad things had happened to me, and i barely felt like a person at all. i just felt like a body. when my husband (then friend) let me come to live with him, i was so fucked i couldnt eat or talk to people anymore. i didnt really realize how fucked i even was. i started reading about other peoples experiences and i found they had suffered the same catastrophic damage that me and the other prostitutes i used to know did.

so gradually through reading these experiences and thinking about my own and my old friends and doing therapy (im not clear on my therapists position - weve never talked about it and dont really need to, she just listens to me freak out) i came to have the opinions that i do. i mean i have seen some shit, man. i watched my roommate, who was a wonderful, clever, hilarious, sheisty, brave fucking woman i loved, sicken horribly after the hiv shed contracted from prostitution progressed to aids. we used to lay on the couch and just hold each other. she was so tiny. we did karaoke and went looking for arrowheads. one day she caught a case and had to leave the state and packed up her car with her abusive piece of shit boyfriend and i never got to see her again. i saw my best friend -- this was after i got out -- become addicted to heroin with her boyfriend and go from camming and selling panties to letting her boyfriend pimp her out, and how it emptied out her face and made her so fucking sad. we used to eat bon bons and watch married in the family together in her attic in lingerie and talk about fucked up manga. i miss her so much. her boyfriend, who was one of our friends too, overdosed in his parents bathroom and i think she got clean. i hope she did. she stopped talking to everyone. she was the coolest girl i ever met. i loved her. these are just two stories and i know so many and i wish i didnt. there is mine too. maybe one day i will talk more about it on here. i dont know. but knowing what i do know and seeing what ive seen, i really bristle at the suggestion that 'sex work is work'. its not work. its not a job. its not normal. its not ok. for all the people who are happy doing that, thats cool, i have no problem with them at all. but i do think theyre comfortable and removed from the reality that so many of us face/faced, and that they dont think about us and they definitely, definitely dont know what its like to be us. so thats my piece, i guess.

[maxdibert]

hii!! i love ur blog immensely, i literally spend so much time reading your analysis, and i agree with everything u say abt severus (my fav character), which is very rare for me

so, id like to know what do u think sev would be doing if he didnt have to go back to hogwarts at 21 and be forced to teach? like, if there was no voldemort (but everything else stayed the same like his childhood with lily, the marauders bullying him etc), what would he be doing nowadays? i always thought he would open his own potions store, maybe he'd try to heal from his past, find someone to love, idk, u probably have a more detailed answer lol

First of all, if Voldemort didn’t exist, I don’t think Severus would have ended up with the Death Eaters because, well, they wouldn’t exist, right? The story would be very different. I think his "break" with Lily might have taken longer, but eventually, they would have drifted apart quite a bit, and when she got together with James, it would likely have been Severus who distanced himself completely. Because, I mean, Severus isn’t exactly brimming with self-love, but I can’t imagine him handling his friend ending up with his bully very well, for obvious reasons. That said, I don’t think it would have been such a traumatic break but more like one of those friendships where, as you grow older, you just don’t have anything in common anymore and go in completely different directions. Then, one day, ten years later, you run into each other on the street and have no idea how to greet each other. You know what I mean?

That said, without him being part of the Death Eaters, without Voldemort in the picture, and without Lily dying and creating a lifelong guilt trauma that led him to sell his soul to Dumbledore—no, Severus wouldn’t have been a professor. At least not at Hogwarts, which is a pretty triggering place for his personal traumas. I see him dedicating himself to magical research and experimentation. I’m not sure if there’s an equivalent in the wizarding world, but like a typical Muggle university researcher working on specific scientific projects, only applied to magic. We’re talking about Severus Snape, the guy who rewrote his own Potions textbooks and invented complex spells as a teenager—the same Severus Snape who, despite everything, was a Slytherin, which means he has ambition. I think the perfect mix of those two things would have been dedicating himself to magical research, publishing his findings, and maybe—just maybe—teaching. But only teaching adult wizards who had already graduated from Hogwarts and wanted to further their skills by applying advanced knowledge. Like the equivalent of a university professor who only teaches because they’re required to in order to continue their doctorate.

I think with a life like that, with the peace to follow his own path and achieve his own successes, he could have healed from a lot of his issues. Probably not entirely, because the magical world sucks when it comes to managing mental health, but he could have moved on from Lily and built his own life.

helia week ✨ 05

day one | day two | day three | day four

🌻 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 🌻

21. Did the Warden romance anyone from their group? If so, what attracted them to their partner?

Alistair, of course, which i've already more than alluded to a few times and i already accidentally answered the second question in the previous post. i'll just talk about their romance in general here

despite both having warm and intimate feelings for each other, it took awhile for their relationship to begin in any capacity. this is because helia is a little bit stupid when it comes to realizing her own attractions and romantic feelings, and is even less aware of when that attention is directed towards her. she just didnt really think about it, assuming that the hope she'll get to spend the rest of her time as a warden with him is Totally Platonic and that there's no deeper feelings to analyze there. just utterly clueless.

Alistair was the more emotionally aware one. at least he has the capacity to know and acknowledge when he feels something for someone. i think he's utterly fascinated by helia, never has he known someone so poised and yet so. weird. i think he wants to study her. how could he not want to fuck her. there's a nervousness too, she seems better than him and considering her lack of flirtations he might just be an asshole for presenting his feelings

funnily enough, it's actually helia who encourages him into sharing his attraction for her. he calls her beautiful and then retracts it, then even asks what she'd think if he really did call her that. and so she says she'd love to have an answer but she can't know until he commits to it. which like fair enough, so he does!

the rose conversation happens ( jsyk redcliffe is one of the last things i do before the landsmeet arc) and helia reciprocates deeply. it's extremely kind and fuck, of course she feels the same way? however. and im not bullshitting you. she is COMPLETELY unaware that this conversation is romantic in any way. and he doesn't know she doesnt know. so imagine her surprise when later on, during another romantically charged conversation, he kisses her. helia is completely fucking blindsided its awesome

... which he realized after and oh my god he can't believe it! this woman can read an assassin out of a throne room, how can she have not figured it out by now ? it's very very funny. it's very cute and he's super lucky she said that it's fine because she liked it.

another fave moment is that i usually do things in a way where after his personal quest i get the sex cutscene, and then immediately after THAT one i get the post-hardened "i think from now on im going to do whatever i want that makes me feel happy" like um. yeah man. i can tell. <3

22. Which gifts would raise the Warden's approval, if they were a companion?

These questions are always really hard for me to answer umm. She’s not a very picky person but she appreciates things she can use more than appreciates aesthetic. if you give her expensive jewellery she'll end up selling it unless you clarify extreme sentimentality, for example. she doesn't want for very much.

i can imagine that she's interested in books. of all kinds. geography, history, biography, even magical tomes, she hungers for Lore. she'll even enjoy a random tattered journal you found in a well. i think she also enjoys candles.

also it's cliche but she fucking loooves blades and weapons, not just because shes a sicko but because she's also a geek about the craft. she appreciates a well-designed weapon, and enjoys clever add-ons. She actually perked up when she heard her betrothed has ties to blacksmithing. I think its a special interest of hers :) if you gave her starmetal to craft starfang with it would change her life

23. If Dog is in the party, what did the Warden name him and why?

Bloodkin because he also drank darkspawn blood, lived, experienced ostagar, and then lived from that too. just like her and alistair did. ^_^ there's a deep companionship found in the events that brought them all together and helia finds that deeply important. He's A Part Of Them. he's called bloody for short btw

24. Did the Warden complete the companions quests?

yeah, i very rarely ever have a character who will skip out on optional questlines and companions because I simply Just Dont Want To so my rpg protags will sometimes have through-line similarities. but in different flavours i do still try and think about it.

im pretty sure i said before that helia considers her relationships to be a part of her duty, so going out of her way to do extra things for her comrades, i mean... how could she not?

25. Did the Warden focus more on their objective or did they do side quests?

She likes helping people and stealing from nobles. And delivering justice. so hell yes

vid of flipping through comic test bind !

and here binding process !

---

so to talk about what did in previous post about wanting reach a 32 paper page benchmark before solidify anything , this is why !

We enjoy book binding as a hobby , so we are creating GBR in a format that very much is binable and comfortable read even in physical form

there will NOT be print runs nor will it be sold , don't sell fanfiction We planing to have it be available as a free pdf

--

You can follow this bookbinding tutorial to make this kind bind here ! (pamphlet single signature bind)

Video does Not cover how we did end flaps ,

what we did was that we didnt measure , but just cut out the sheet to height and leave width unchanged , then after fully binded , mark where want end flap to be folded (be sure add some margin and not right up against end of text block) then fold it to the line , and thats all !

We kept it down by just punching holes and doing simple pattern in thread , which keeps it together . it solution that not need glue n also have cool pattern on cover !

--

Reason why 32 was the magic number for us is because 8 leaves (pieces of loose paper) when folded will make 32 book pages (if interested in math stuff for leaves to pages conversion , we put one in undercut)

However , it technically just 26 comic pages due to front matter + chapter title pages not being counted (which is 6 extra pages)

----

And heres it's size compared to a real graphic novel ! It about the size of 2 panel rows for normal graphic novel . (yes this is also smaller than a normal written book novel which average about 5" x 7.5" inch)

If curious , canvas size is 1275x1650 px with 1 inch margin ( we Don't recommend this specific sizing unless you're trying to do what we're doing with formatting , it is Not traditional page size and may feel too small )

--

Reason for this small sizing (besides small books being soo nice and holdable) is because its half letter sizing , in other words , each piece of paper used is just printer paper cut in half

It effectively Extremely cuts down on paper waist by making 1 sheet of paper into 2 leaves , as well as not needing to trim product much . (2 leaves folded makes 8 book pages while one folded piece of paper would make 4 pages) , it also makes grain direction correct (going up and down)

----

So all of this is exactly why Great Brilliant Radiance is formatted and sized way is and why may feel oddly small n compact

it is Very tough make a comic in this very small sizing , but its a very fun challenge !

We didnt get the print correct first time , it took 3 print attempts to get all print right wawgh , but it was worth it :]

--

thats all for now , unless you want to look at math equations 🐕 (i dont like math)

[Below is a leaves to pages conversion equation stuff]

--

[transcription]

2 leaves = 8 pages 4 leaves = 16 pages 6 leaves = 24 pages 8 leaves = 32 pages --

[equations applies to all no matter how many leaves per signature]

[amount of leaves] X 4 = page number,

[page number] / 4 = amount leaves,

[signature count] X [amount of pages for specific leaf count] = page count,

(ex: 9 signatures X 24 (6 leaves signatures has 24 pages) = 216 page count)

--

so 160 page book would be 160 / 4 = 40 leaves , and can if 4 leaves per signature , itll be 10 signatures

-----

We created these equations ourselves as notice this pattern

It also doesnt Need to be complicated , due to how books work , you Always want all signatures to be exact same leaf count , so if doing 6 leaves per signature , you want keep Every signature 6 leaves

So because of this , you can just make a chart of all the numbers to reference

just have a chart that counts up by page count of the signature you want n you're good to go :]

--

Woaw u made it ! 🐟

This comment confuses me on so many levels.

Ward wasn't even part of the fantasy productions I think, Prestley left by his own accord a while ago because he didn't like the direction of the company I think and I don't think he never said he intended a victory for anyone, gav wrote like maybe the elves books of the end times but lots of authors wrote the other books too. The end times happen because fantasy was selling poorly and the reason it's so bad is probably caused it was rushed due to aos being realase later. So everyone had to write a ending of a setting with lots of lore and characters in a limited time and tie up some loose ends. Like one of the writer admitted they forgotten a important character. I dont understand people sometimes

You hit the nail on the head. People just make shit up and it is so tiresome because others use it as an excuse to hate stuff. Have any of them actually read Priestley's writing? Let's just say it is a product of its time...

But honestly, blaming and pointing fingers at the writers for what is clearly a corporate decision is so fucking dumb. I'm willing to bet these people don't even know the name Tom Kirby.

I do believe Ward wrote one of the chaos codices in WHFB (chaos daemons, I believe; don't clock me on that; I don't have the energy for research today😅), but the guy wrote about sixteen codices in total, and pretending he favoured all of them is insane. He is a writer; he is doing a job.

The thing is, people who hate Ward don't even know what his main army is. (Hint: It isn't Ultramarines. He wasn't even a fan when that codex came out, and reading that he “relished in writing chaos ending worlds” is even funnier, if you know.)

Warhammer fantasy got shut down because it didnt sell, like at all. The Tactical Marine box from 40k on its own outsold the ENTIRE fantasy range. That is the sad thing about capitalism. It lost money, it had to be amputated.

They wanted to end the world, making chaos win is such an obvious choice. And in my mind, not a bad one. Chaos back then had a reputation of being toothless. That they were the baddies of the day for heroes to beat. So they showed people why chaos couldn't win before the end of the world.

Do you know what resurrected the public interest in Warhammer fantasy, tho? What is partly responsible for them bringing the world back?

Computer games, specifically Warhammer Total War and *drumroll* Vermintide (guess who was the lead writer on the latter?)

Worth ........

| For every universe I slap Loyboo into, his lore is different every single time. A self insert that I want to truly fit in

Loyboo is either a Direct Self insert..... Or.... I treat him like an OC that happens to inherite a bunch of my qualities directly bc no matter what at the end of the day. Character or Full on self insert

He's still me

Now saying that- sometimes Loyboo gets to go through my worst fears in the form of his lore for different universes and Today. I got a hard hittin one for ya

So brace your Tissues.... Bc this Loyboo Lore is specifically for 4thwallbreakerdraws2 RTV AU

Yup

Right before they are all going to purgatory, that's when i drop my lore. Teehee |

Oh and @rtv-puzzlevision-studios bc this will doubly work as my reaction to this mess

The day Puzzlevision took the world by an iron fist was a spectacle for all who witnessed it.... Be it they were lulled into a mindless trance of loving the celebrity television or they managed to pull away from his influence and hide away plotting to take him down... The world.... Was never going to be the same.....

Out in the wilderness far F A R away from civilization was a quiet little mansion filled with Boos who followed the lead of their King, and naturally one of these little creatures was none other than Loyboo.

Named for his undying loyalty.... King Boo and the family always supported each other no matter what they sought to chase, even if it meant leaving the house to follow someone else you were always a Boo and always welcomed back home.

Loyboo had gone out to hunt just like any other normal day, except today wasn't normal in the slightest and no other day would ever be from that day onward as his eyes locked on a Television.... And he was genuinely inspired while avoiding Hypnosis as he was resistant

See ..... The boo was an artist.... Loved to draw and did it in his pass time a whole lot- he wanted more than anything to sell his art to people and be noticed for it however.... No one seemed to want to..... It didn't matter how much attention he brought to himself, nobody would pay for his art work.... Was he just not popular enough to trust? Did someone want to buy his art but couldnt afford it right now? He was doing everything right ...

Reaching out on multiple sources to share his artwork, gaining a following, passing around his commission page and continuing to drop artwork

It didn't matter. He got praise and attention.... But nothing to push him towards a carrier he would love. Fighting tooth and nail to be noticed

But this universe ran off memes, and Loyboo didnt draw them often nor show off that work... So when he came across Puzzlevision....

It didn't matter that the population was brainwashed NOW, in order to get that type of power his works must have really pushed to gain the attention they deserved. Because the creature genuinely loved the shows aired, catching up on every single one that dropped while avoiding hypnosis. How did he do it.... Put so much love into his work yet grab the attention of the masses to support his shows in order to go global.....

Loyboo really felt like- he could learn something from this Mr.Puzzles. and followed him as an idol

Meanwhile back at home, the boo had no idea what was happening.... Boos are chaotic... Dangerous in numbers.... RTV has seen media of what King Boo is possible of doing, even in a meme universe where he likely wouldn't do that stuff it wasn't worth the risk.

Loyboo's entire family was put into containment and he had no clue- until he went home to show off some art work and catch up on everything... Everyone was gone.... The mansion was picked clean, no ghouls in sight and only cameras left behind to monitor the place.... While the Boo was devastated, he expected something like this- Mr.Puzzles was a villain. That was obvious and 1 of the many reasons the creature followed him.

Loyboo loved villainy

Now- ofc the little guy wanted to ask for his family to be set free.... But saw no reality where that would ever happen. He wasn't worth anything to dare ask such a popular figure to let people that he went out of his way to capture- Go. Just like that

Loyboo only had friends that continued to support his efforts, and in the end the creature thought maybe someday.... He could be working in Puzzlevision studio and then maybe.... Maybe ask Mr.Puzzles to give her family grace.... But honestly..... She still didnt see that happening

While she chased the dream of becoming an employee, chased the life she wanted to be in where she could sell her arts and thrive more off that.

It didn't look good. Deep down he felt like he was only worth the happiness that he brought to his friends, now that they were the only ones left.... Yet he selfishly left to go on this tour

Hoping.... Praying......

He did what he could, but it wasn't enough. He tried but didn't push in a way it mattered. Watching his idol throw things, and then turn to the crowd in order to let them all know what hell they were going to endure

" That's not fair.... I didn't do anything "

He wanted to flee but.... It wasn't going to work, he knew it wouldn't. He was a Boo, alone and amongst people who had power greater than his.

Looking around as the hypnotised people blindly followed orders, maybe some tried to flee... Loyboo stood there petrified....

Perhaps this is why they say , you never want to meet your idols.....

He knew Puzzles was a villain, but to take that out on his own fans? This was all so confusing and rather terrifying.... Watching the line of "zombies" go one by one as others got dragged in forcefully.

" What does it matter "

Loyboo approached his idol, tearing out a piece of paper out of his sketchbook and dropping it on the floor, the creature bowed at a perfect 90° angle

" I'm worth nothing "

Before straightening himself and following the crowd to join in on being whisked away to the television pocket dimension..... Upon being there in the crowd waiting for further instruction or what would happen.... The creatures arms wrapped around himself as tears began to creep down his cheek

Why wasn't anything good enough, why did pushing lead to nowhere.... Was he really going to vanish from this universe and...... Mean nothing?

...........................................

But he did

............................................

He did mean something

He was reminded that every day by his friends, found family.... So his pushing wasn't enough in one area that doesn't mean he should accept the end......

He really felt like nothing.......

But

He still wanted to be something, he didn't want to lie down and vanish if that's what Puzzle decided to do... He will likely perish in the end

However ..... He tried ..... And that

That is worth something

♧Thomas, Joan and Quil appreciate/critique

I would literally sell a couple of my limbs for Joan to come back and continue to write for sanders sides. Not that them coming back would do much good, the characters and story have been nerfed- which is so silly considering we haven't had an actual sides episode in literal years. Crazy how characters and story can be completely turned upside down and inside out without an official episode coming out. But I digress. If Joan is much happier where they are now, then it should stay this way, but I do miss the series and the direction it was going.

Now that they're gone, it's really easy to see how much they actually contributed to the series, to the point where I would say that Joan is the one who made sanders sides what it was, not Thomas. Not all Thomas at least. As much as I criticize Thomas, I don't think the characters would be who they are without him. The characters are literally based off of his personality- but Joan was the one who made them into story characters instead of skit characters- which Thomas is used to. Thomas is a great actor and I think a fairly decent writer when it comes to skits, but the humor and storyline in general requires more skill than just skit writting.

All this isn't to say that the people on the team now, like Quil, aren't talented or doing a good job. I think Quil, specially, is doing a pretty damn good job considering the drama, helping run the patreon, helping out with writting, helping out with makeup, and probably more plus performing in a band on the sidelines. He's a pretty crucial part to sanders sides now and I don't want what happened to Joan to happen to Quil, let's not overlook all the work they're putting in to make the series decent. Don't get me wrong, I'm critical of Quil as much as I am Thomas or Joan but I do think a lot of us (myself included) need to take a step back and realize these are real people.

That being said, Thomas still pisses me off but I think all the things he's doing to piss me off definitely come from being overworked and stressed. I know it's creepy and parasocial to look too deeply into someone's mental health but hes posted about working out until he's on the brink of, or has, passed out. Going to bed extremely late because he's scrambling to work and shit. Plus he's losing followers, views and money and having to lay off some of his team members. Clearly, he's struggling quite a bit. That doesn't excuse underpaying your employees or using AI to generate images and write captions for your skits, but it checks out. But he doesnt seem tk see that the problems are his fault. You are a youtuber, you are continuing sanders sides, you are the onenot taking a break and stepping back. Its not like he doesng have any other options, he went to school for chemical engineeering ffs. Also The main person who was there to help out with all the shit that he struggled to do (Joan) is gone and Thomas is figuring out how to continue without them, (which is hard considering they prob did everything).

I don't know how to transition when writing text but here's a critique of Joan because I'm kind of a dickrider when it comes to them. They definitely could/should have addressed more when it came to issues brought up to them, like the madlibs situation ig. But (here comes the dickriding) I don't think they were a part of that project. There aren't any links in the description for Hoan under that video and I heard through the grape vine that it was a Thomas and Quil project. So like idk what yall expected from them, to pay the animators with the money? The money they don't have to pay them? Because they weren't working on the project? I personally think they should've gone to Thomas and been like "yo wtf? Why are you underpaying your employees who are also YOUR FANS????" But that totally could've happened and nothing came out of it. Or, the most likely case, They didnt say anything in fear of losing their friendship with Thomas. Which would also lead to them losing their job. Bit of a power imbalance tbh. Not saying Joan is perfect and didn't no wrong but the examples of controversy I can think of involving them are either non-issues or them bring thrown under the bus.

Erm anyways 🤓 to summarize this; Joan, Quil and Thomas are people, people aren't perfect. BUT being flawed doesn't excuse mistreating your employees. And we should reconize that although Thomas is an ass for what he did to Brei and other animators, he and the rest of the team are people and blah blah blah. Whatever. You know already. Just don't be assholes like there's no reason to comment on Thomas' body because you don't like him. That's weird asf.

[chemicalmorality]

"The Reality War" Doctor Who not-liveblog. Spoilers ahead (obviously).

ANITA??

The rani being pissed makes me happy. “THAT LITTLE…”

Is it bad that i actually like anita more than ruby and belinda

Also, is she poppy’s mother??

Nvm its a boy

Not gonna lie I’m a little bit annoyed with this thing that RTD seems to like to do “I saw through your time stream and now i know everything about you.” and i know that people will think, oh, clara and river did the same!! And to an extent its true but the difference is that for clara, we had a lot of time with her before the time stream thing was revealed/happened, and for river, we actually SAW the adventures that happened. It was just in reverse. But i do really like Anita so i dont mind too much i guess?

I do hope she stays as a companion though that would be nice

Oh god rogue again. Listen i like him as a character but i like him less and less every time he shows up. I feel like im being negative. But so far i do like this ep i think!!!!

I forgot that anita had a crush on him but honestly her being mature about it makes me happy

“Our lord and master” …im going to hurl. Since when does the rani submit to anyone?????

Oh thank god ok so at least one Rani has some sense. But why are they acting like two different characters with completely different world views and motivations??

“The Rani’s pet human” lol

The dramatic music as its revealed he’s wearing a skirt is very funny to me.

“We’ve had a baby!” so Poppy is actually theirs biologically???? So either nursedoc actually fucked, or looms are a thing lol.

Conrad can’t imagine trans people?? Why didnt they just "disappear" like Shirley and the rest of the disabled?

Ohh i like that explanation for the bone beasts!! I feel like ive missed sciency stuff on doctor who

Most awkward baby reveal ive ever seen but i dont mind too much

Lol shirley “only one day to go!” so the disabled people obviously know

I wonder where i would be in this universe since im disabled but its an invisible disability

Im going to hurl “you really are ridiculously handsome” EW EW EW EWEWWYU WHAT HTEU FUCK I KNOW SHE’S MANIPULATING HIM BUT GROSS GROSS GROSS

Now that ive calmed down, i dont mind it that much. I think people are expecting this Rani to be the same as Kate O’Mara’s Rani in terms of personality, which I understand but I think people need to realize that its a different incarnation. I dislike the playfulness because I feel like that’s a weird character trait that the Rani just…wouldnt really have. But imo the fact that this Rani is more outwardly manipulative (even using flirting to get there, bleh) rather than just cold works. its not something i like but i can see the vision i guess.

YAY REUNIONS

Okay Mel’s description of the Rani is great

THE RANI (gasp)

Why aren’t they shooting at her? Kate was willing to shoot the fucking toymaker, but not the Rani? To be fair I do think shooting at her would be the wrong choice but still

The Rani instantly commands the stage, as she should.

Bigeneration explanation!! So it might relate to the razing of galifrey?

“Genetic explosion” the master didn’t kill them, he sterilized them? Then why was gallifrey razed? Or is this omega lore i dont know about? (i dont know much about him)

“She’s contaminated” groans “have i lost the crowd?” yeah i wonder why you’re only losing them now???? Like why is everyone being so casual here lol?? “A fetish” lol

I’m on board about how the Rani is kind of trying to “sell” her thing to them. Or explain it. Like this is an interesting character direction because she’s just trying to get what she wants in the simplest way possible - conversation. The master would have just killed them all by now but she’s taking the path of nonviolence - not because of a commitment to peace or the sanctity of life - but because it has the possibility to be more efficient.

So is poppy real or not??? She was able to go into the time hotel. I guess the reason they’re saying she’s “real” is because she’s a construct of memories that wasn’t specifically created BY conrad?

“I am genuinely sorry” i think you are ¼ sorry at best

I know this is like, never going to happen BUT since RTD has shown that his version of the Rani can be more reasonable, at least far more than the Master, what if she kind of becomes a recurring character in the UNIT spinoff? Not as an antagonist because I dislike the idea that UNIT would even begin to be able to stop her if she really was after them, but as something more akin to like, a mad scientist who occasionally pops up. Idk i want more of pure scientist rani.

So far i actually enjoy her characterization in this episode i think? Like it is NOT perfect, but its way better than last ep.

Susan Triad did not just create a zero room in 30 minutes dont fuck with me. Im willing to believe a lot of stuff but that???

I think that willingly going into the zero room is insane. Like holy shit in the case that the doctor doesn’t win (he will, but she doesn’t know that) she’s just agreed to a fate worse than death.

If i was the writer i would have them lose here

Ruby not even hesitating, just being like “can i punch him?” is very funny to me

The cut from the loudness of battle to the quiet of the zero room was great but i wish it had been completely silent, no hum

I really dislike mrs. flood im not gonna lie. Why is she like that?????? I probably missed something.

The “omega” repeating is freaky and i love it

What the fuck. What is that??????

Oh my god is he going to eat her.

…

Okay. rip rani i guess?????

that's. yeah. i dont even know what to say. what a mess.

Mrs. flood immediately dipping is funny though. I guess thats how we know we’ll get another incarnation in the future. But what a waste of Archie Panjabi if this is the last time we see her.

Okay i hate this vindicator sequence why is this happening

Conrad so miserable that him being happy doesnt allow him to survive

The TARDIS yay

Is Poppy there? My bet is no since there’s so much time left in the episode

Oh yay! She survived (do i care much though is the question?)

Oh my god they’re giving carla another baby lmao. God baby. I guess he no longer has powers but how long will that last? No idea

Ruby thirdwheeling hard. I feel you girl.

Also why is belinda so willing to do the time and space thing??? She wanted to get home??? Now she doesn’t want to??? Her characterization is so weird sometimes

OH NO POPPY IS GONE

The doctor not noticing ruby having a breakdown

I am not falling for this straight kate agenda

KATE RECRUITING LMAO SHE NEVER STOPS

“The boss” like the meep’s boss?

“It’s kind of offensive to say ive got a daughter i dont remember” belinda would not say this what

This is a weird scene but whatever who cares about good writing anymore

“Sometimes i think we’re all your children” okay this gotta be an illusion or something cause what

“The last of the timelords” did we not just see mrs. flood survive

JDOEI GTR(U*TGrfed

JODIE??? WHAT

WHAT HE FUCK

THIRTEEN

YES WYES

THATS MY DOCTOR 

Im actually happy

Oh my god

I missed you so much thirteen

Oh my god

I missed you

I tyhujyhtgrf4edtgyht

Wedrftghyjukiiujyhtgrfedwdrftgyhjuihytgrfedwrftgyhjuhytgrfgthytgrfghytgrfghynjuhtgr

Okay he’s going to regenerate apparently but im still to focused on jodie

All i can say is dont be billie piper please

“I never say things like that” thirteen your emotional repression will always be famous

“I SHOULD SAY THAT TO YAZ” listen i dont like thasmin but oh my god

Here we go

Oh my god the glass shattering effect is comically terrible i love you doctor who

Ohhh nooo he lost a daughter (kind of. He doesnt really remember having her ig?)

“I cant have children” i hate this retcon bc the doctor being a father has been mentioned consistently since at least matt smiths era

He’s going to regenerate isnt he. I feel that vibe. Please dont be billie piper.

Nursedoc shippers really did win and lose with this one. Not a huge fan of that ship but im happy for them lol and sad for them at the same time.

Its billie piper.

Oh my god what the fuck.

Im so disapointed i dont even know what to say anymore.

Ugh.

Gross.

Ignoring the elephant in the room…i dont like how they handled belinda. Strong female character turned into just…protective mother caricature kind of? idk. feels sexist.

this episode was just all over a mess. like when i was watching i was trying hard to be positive but. yeah.

AtlaS media review #1 Happy Threshold Day

I have decided to do media reviews

It is threshold day so I will start by reviewing Threshold, the episode of Star Trek Voyager This is my summary of the episode threshold PURELY from memory, do not correct me if i am wrong, i do not care i will not read it because i despise threshhold and therefore summarizing parts of it incorrectly hurt it and please me. CW for at the very least extremely dubious consent in a sexual encounter, bad writing, salamander TF fetish ( I THINK) and breeding It is about an attempt to make a shuttle that can enter transwarp, ie go faster than warp 10 so that they can make voyager go faster than warp ten so they can go home faster The shuttle does go faster than warp ten but after he returns, tom paris, starts getting sick and nobody can figure out whats wrong with him. That might be partially because voyagers doctor is a fucking hologram, but its actually not that because hologram doctor is actually one of the most competent doctors Anyway, Tom starts to turn into a.. lizard? salamander? some kind of reptphibian man creature because the transwarp dimension.. thing that he went into accelerated his evolution. You might say "but thats stupid, humans wouldnt go FORWARD into reptiles or amphibians we evolved from them" but shut up voyager is voyager and voyager hates you Now lizard tom has decided that he needs to make a lizard wife so that he can have babies, he breaks out of his restraints somehow and kidnaps captain janeway so that they can go into the transwarp shuttle to go into transwarp again so that they can become lizards. Or salamanders. Again, i dunno, its both, maybe neither, this episode is bad Ok so theyre in the shuttle, theyre lizards, they come out of transwarp, they fly away. The enterprise chases after them, they find them on the planet. Yeah they went to a planet. Well, now theyre lizards, like not like lizard guys like actual lizards. Newts whatever. The apex of human evolution is just a big lizard, or a salamander. Its not like a guy, either like just salamanders, they might not even be sentient, they certainly couldnt talk, anyway they had babies. Yep babies. Janeway is married and not interested in tom paris so this implies that tom paris lizard fucked janeway lizard without her consent Maybe they evolved beyond consent, thats the level of writing of early voyager. a few episodes before this, alien guy fieri (who has a child bride and i hate him) gets his fucking lungs stolen, yep, stolen, like they just zap them out of him and try to sell them. Its like that asdf bit "oops, he stole my lungs" but for real, anyway threshold Neelix should die, i hate him, i hate him so fuking much. Hes star trek jar jar but the bad parts of jar jar in that he exists to be for comic relief in a series that already has good comedy just from chemistry and does not need a clown, i dont know why he exists. Oops i said anyway threshold. Back on topic. So now they have babies, yep, babies, on the planet. The rest of the crew get the lizard captain and the lizard tom and they delizard them, how, i dont remember, i think its a beam. Its probably radiation. I could watch threshold again to find out, but i value my time and more than that i value my sanity So they have them cured, so they leave, you might say i didnt say they took the babies. Because they didnt, they left them there, on the planet, with the planets existing ecosystem, alien human lizard guys, salamanders? again please someone tell me what these fucking things are because hes a lizard as a human but they are salamanders when they are fully lizard You might say "but haley that violates the prime directive thats going to cause untold ecological damage, thats incredibly irresponsible they have an obligation to interfere and stop this" i tried to say that too but neelix tried to grab my butt and the writer kicked me in the balls and spit in my mouth, so apparently thats just where we end it This episode is bad and it literally made me quit watching Voyager so I do not know if voyager is good or bad 0/10 stars

[oswednesday]

mom is verbally berating the insurance claim person, like if that gets stuff done then fine but i cant help be like : / oh okay youre not serious about getting this done youre going to drag it out for whatever stimuli you need in your brain

like it isnt Her Fault it happened, but literally on her birthday fhfh a tree branch huge size fell on her car and its a bunch of like you parked really poorly half way down the drive nearly in the yard to give the illusion that the car she's given my brother has like a Better parking spot, in reality when she parks like this it prevents both of them from being near the house and both cars sit side by side tightly near in the grass on either side, like just parked like a real asshole and if she had pulled up or been off the grass the tree branch wouldnt have hit/done that much damage

secondly like she doesnt get the trees looked at? she like moralizes it in a weird way like its evil for people to trim the trees and test the trees for sickness and anyone-phone update im hearing her say the guy on the other end is saying like youre acting like im the enemy or something cause she was like no im not saying youre my enemy [name of person] im paying you!!! and she did this Gotchya slam dunk she tried on me earlier (she keeps being really nasty to me when im trying to galvanize her for solutions) that the bodyshop said statefarm is the worst!! like, the guy on the phone doesnt care hes not making the statefarm he only works there gfhfd- but like yeah like shes always like maple tappers are eeeviill but she'll run hooks and stuff into the trees when she wants to hang stuff-rolling my eyes, she just hung up with a Youre Awful Goodbye, can you grow up and get this fixed ghfhfghfghgfjfgjfgh???

like if she got someone to look at the tree and trim it the branch it wouldnt have fallen, if the tree needs to be taken down we could get on with planting and supporting a new one, its just gfgfhf one of the trees already got taken down cause the neighbor who died next door kicked up a fuss cause it was over his drive dropping branches and my mom acted like it was 9/11

but also if she went this week to florida and hadnt been a huge baby about that her car wouldnt have been in the driveway to get hit by a branch

like these things dont have direct cause and effect and co-relate of course it was just something that Happened, but just a few days ago she was bothering me for not going for a walk even tho the weather was nice in like a real nasty way and i was like oh i dont go when its too windy there are a lot of old trees and i dont want to be taken out by a branch and she acted like i was lying only to have this happen it feels very

you know what i mean? but every time im trying to like gentle coax her into Solution thinking shes like rrrr welcome to the REAL WORLD or like yeah this happened thats why I WAS SO SAD YESTERDAY IF YOU DIDNT NOTICE or like IVE BEEN ON THE PHONE SINCE 8 AM and im just like why do you need to be on the phone just take the car? just file the claim? go to an inperson building for them? why are you having a phone argument with desk people dggfd she was acting like she cant use the other car for anything but managed to use it to go get beer =_=

oh another like cause and effect that no one could predict but its kind of like Well is that she bought this car on impulse, selling the other one and if she hadn't done that and the same exact tree thing happened the damage would have been way minimized as it was simply a bigger car less designed to explode at any force (a volkswagen beetle) with less specialty care needed it would have been repaired by now sdfghj

hm. knowing how so many ppl disliked ts4 (i know ppl who actually hated it) and also knowing disneys tendency to self-correct, added to bo not appearing in that first look... im scared man. i have faith in pixars writing teams of course (even monsters university which i didnt care much for had some really interesting concepts) but then i think of the incredibles 2 and the whole screenslaver thing, and in general how ppl dont know how to talk about technology to kids who were basically raised by it... its a lot to ask from a movie. and then i dont really like the delusional buzz bit anymore tbh... idk. from what you said im kinda worried

There's so many intricacies to filmmaking, especially when it's a big franchise that's being overseen by a massive corporation. It's really so hard to tell how a product will turn out when there's such a wide array of moving parts here. The fact that all four Toy Story movies have been great (IMO) is a complete miracle. I don't think any other franchise has kept that consistent quality. There's always risk involved in doing another one. I'll say that I have faith the movie can be as great as the others. Andrew Stanton hasn't let us down with Toy Story yet. He has a great track record. And The Incredibles 2 did have a different creative team behind it. I think a movie being directed by the man who did Wall-E has the potential to sell the whole "technology" bit. Toy Story 4 seemed like a completely different movie when you compare the teaser with the final product. I know that Disney has overcorrected sometimes, but Toy Story 4 was still a critically acclaimed film that won an Oscar. I can believe that any undoing of TS4 can be done with tact. I noticed on another look that Woody isn't wearing his badge in the concept art. Jessie still has it. There's some continuity being kept there. Regardless, it's gonna be an interesting ride. Thanks for the ask
