#where is my solo video smh

[the-binding-of-gekko]

i wanted to do a deadlock setups video or something cause like some deadlock's make me physically shrink up and die when they put their sensors to watch flank, but i am terrible at explaining things. i'm at the point where i have like multiple set ups to use if one isn't working and its like second nature on where I use her util. i dont think about it lol. also people might use my setups against me and i cant have that smh.

i guess my only deadlock tips are try and combo her nade with other utility, otherwise if you're solo q and socially anxious like me just try and use it to slow down a push in a choke point (bonus points if theyre sitting ducks in the open), use her sensors to try and trap the enemy in open space while concussed and throw her wall deep so the legs don't leave any gaps.

You can concuss the diffuser, but just fyi make sure you swing them, preferably with a teammate in the case of a trade, cause u can diffuse while concussed (in case u didnt know).

i also have a couple of lineups for her wall and i think a few for her gravnet. i'm sure there's better lineups for her stuff, but i throw them out of laziness and to not have my ass out in the open with util. the gravnet lineups i have are just me throwing them at walls and hoping physics takes over but i do have them if anyone was curious about them.

anyway as the Number One Deadlock player in the OCE region enemy deadlock's with their tik tok setups are no match for me.

HB Episode Thoughts...

Since I’ve made a few posts about Helluva Boss now, I figure I’d get my thoughts out now that I’ve seen the episode. Sorry if I echo points others have made, I’ve skimmed through the critical blogs after watching the episode to see if they caught things my goofy ass might’ve missed lol

When I initially watched the episode, I was kinda impressed because it wasn’t a pile of shit like Seeing Stars or The Circus, at least at first. I admit, I’m biased because I like Moxxie as a character, so I might be softer on this episode than I should, but make no mistake, this episode is goofy with a capital G.

First of all, and I know this is my fault for speculating because I give Vivzie way too much credit when it comes to episode plots, but I really thought there was going to be some kind of solo adventure with Moxxie and Chaz and it would be a more high stakes thing than “Hey Moxxie we’re gonna force you to marry someone even though ur married so you can inherit his money that we didn’t check to see if he actually had” (real trusting mafia btw smh). But again, that’s my fault, fool me once shame on you and all that shit.

Second, I’ve read Adam’s little Tweet about Moxxie’s MOM being from Wrath instead of Moxxie himself which is like, sure, whatever, but I just love how this has become a trend for the crew to have to write cliffnotes to make up for their fuck ups lol, like before the reveal of Crim’s mansion I was thinking, “Oh so maybe they just have a business in Greed right” but again that’s my fault for thinking too hard (and I didn’t watch the con videos entirely cuz I wanted to be surprised)

Third, one thing that I found odd was Blitzo’s casual nature about everything, like I know he’s just forgotten everything from the previous episodes but surely if he cares about Moxxie like he claims to, he’d be on the immediate offense like Millie, he’s got no qualms about taking people out so the episode could’ve been over just like that. AND SPEAKING OF-

Four, Millie being OP like that ruined any tension for me smh my head like girlpower gaslight gatekeep whatever but they could’ve killed the whole mob and left honestly, and yeah, it’s goofy that Millie can do all that but get taken down by a glass bottle. I bet some goofy bitch on Twitter is gonna say “Oh well time passed so she had more time to train” shut the fuck up and get out of my face with that shit

Fifth, this is probably goofy of me because I know animation takes a while and Vivzie kept replacing/overworking animators but part of me gets a vibe that Chaz was made purely to spite anyone who thinks Angel Dust and Stolas are too sexual. Then again, that would imply Vivzie doesn’t find that shit the funniest shit since sliced bread so probably not. He was so fucking annoying too, and his plot made no fucking sense because all someone needed to do was look in his fucking trunk and they’d see he was full of shit. Goofy.

Sixth, Crim, what the fuck was that plan? So like, is he low on money? Is that why ne needs Chaz to be married in? You know you could just make him an associate right? And on the topic of mob shit, why is Crim a mob leader and not, idk, in charge of a crew that answers to higher powers? I mean MAYBE that’s the case because of Mammon, but again, I shouldn’t really try to speculate because some completely out of left field shit might happen again. Is Crim Moxxie’s only blood family as well, like where the fuck are the other imps? Why is it only a dad and his kid (and MAYBE a mom) for all these families? I know it’s not important to the episode but there’s a reason why people say the show feels empty because there’s no one but the main cast and the antagonists.

Seventh, uh, idk, the animation was decent. I’ve seen talk about directing and camera work and Idk shit about that but I do know that episode 2 looked wonky as hell and this episode is an improvement, nothing too special except for that camera angle with Moxxie

Eight omg why couldn’t this episode’s ending be swapped with HMF? Why could Millie not take out the threat at her home and Moxxie not take out the threat at his??? Idk

Okay, I think that’s about it because I’ll be here all night, I’m done bi bi

[kasey-writes-stuff]

So if anyone’s looking for new creators to watch I suggest the losers and two of the guys personal channels

I don’t keep up with any of them outside of YouTube and instagram since I don’t have twitter

But I’ve known them all like seven years at this point! I remember before Paul even hit 1k on his first channel! I remember being a regular in his and Connor’s chats to where when I was still going by my real name online they both knew it and would regularly read my chats and call me by my name despite it not being in my username hehe (also a friend got me a video from them saying hi to me :3)

They’re all very sweet guys I love them so much sometimes I will admit certain jokes some of them say are questionable but overall it’s just a ton of fun and shenanigans

Paul mainly does Minecraft on his solo channel but he has been doing some palworld

Connor does a mixture of stuff but I think it’s mainly GTA and Minecraft?

He also became a dad so now his vlog channel is stuff of him and his lil family they’re so incredibly cute! He’s fairly inconsistent with uploads but it’s understandable they have a lot of focus on the losers and he has a lot of focus on his gaming channel!

So yea if you want something to distract yourself I highly suggest them I’ll have their channels linked below and I think they stream still so I’ll link those as well (I just went to get Connor’s link and it had heckin notifs off smh)

[technoblade-updates]

Techno did some more lore discussion in Discord! (Read Bottom to Top)

[Image ID:

4 cropped screenshots of Discord messages by Techno. They read as follows:

In reply to fishinnit.png saying “on the topic of c!techno someone (i wont say who + if you know them dont attack this is for the sake of discussion) compared his mindset of exploding lmanberg to exploding a car because he wanted a parking spot and its just not clicking for me”, Techno said “listen. the car tried to run me over”

In reply to Yarking saying “But fr, I was thinking about fandom perception of techno and it's really just suffering from success. If you don't watch his pov, you only see the W and not the stress and thought that went into it”, Techno said “ye i've seen a lot of takes along the lines of "c!techno literally never has anything bad happen to him, this writing is terrible" which imo shows that they haven't been watching my character's POV/forgot most of it and only understand it through the lens of someone else's POV. though i can hardly blame them since watching a full POV takes like 50 hours and much of the lore was so long ago that even I'm starting to forget it; perhaps it'd be good to make a Lore Recap video of some kind”.

Techno: ppl see doomsday as proof that my character can solo the entire server and then apply that to every situation. my view is more: "my character spent weeks preparing and then brought ~50 withers, 200 wolves, tricks like invis pots/levitation potions to stall and confuse, allied with phil and dream (one of the strongest guys in the lore). and still almost got killed by sapnap a lot of preparation went into making this all possible; a good comparison to look at would be the prison break, where after watching my disciple and good friend get murdered in front of me i manage to kill zero people because i didnt have the tools to fight that many people (lack of inventory space meant i couldnt bring the Big Guns to the prison break because i needed to bring MILK)”.

Techno: “that and i think fundy stole all of lmanburgs combat items like one hour before the fight for some reason”.

In reply to bloprime saying “i think hbomb also switched sides towards the end and started dropping tnt??”, Techno said “that's why they call him hBOMB”.

In reply to Corn1fer saying “You did that joke 12 months ago smh /lh”, Techno said “why come up with new jokes when you've already achieved the peak of comedy”.

SO ABOUT THAT OT8 RED LIGHTS...

Like first of all, the audacity, just in general. And specifically the audacity of Chan, to write the song, deny he wrote the song, perform THAT -in front of his FAMILY no less- and then talk about how it's embarrassing to perform a sexy concept like that with the whole group. Like SIR you didn't just make this bed, you bought it at Ikea and assembled it by hand.

Han doing the lift, please

But MOST OF ALL, Changbin's voice. That low register...just...oh my god. I did not think I could be down worse for that man but here I am. That voice just bypasses my ears entirely and heads to other regions. I felt a little bad at the concert about how rabid I was getting but there were literally thousands of people shrieking even louder than me so at least I had backup. I DEMAND more low vocal solos for that man because holy shit.

Also he did his lil one handed flip and idk why I find that so attractive. He's just so fuckin...physical and...meaty...I want to chomp him. I could see from my nosebleed seat that he has the hardest working pants in the industry because there was not a CENTIMETER of extra room around those thighs. Just wanna get my teeth in there ONCE, and I don't think that's too much too ask.

🎉

NOT IKEA— i laughed so hard i cried 💀 yeah chan has a lot of fuckin nerve smh

don’t get me starting on ji, i will go on for WEEKS. not even specifically about this. just in general. i sent my mom a ton of pics of him earlier while we were on the phone cause she asked why i was crying and i told her i wanna put him in my pocket—

honestly 🎉 live your best feral life. i know i’m gonna become unhinged come july. my bestie scored us tickets to atl as an early birthday gift (hey bestie if you’re reading this i love you 😭❤️). i KNOW neither of us are going to walk out of that venue alive (or at least mentally well 🥴). she biases changbin (right now anyways. she’s an ot8 stan and right now bin is her mans) and he’s my wrecker so like…don’t make me think about this 💀

look i have never really been into the super muscular type (at least not until i got into kpop where they’re still super pretty and not “rugged” like the firefighters my mom loses her shit over 🥴 cause my taste in men is dudes who can rock skirts) but something about how fuckin BEEFY he is— screaming but the s is silent. the back pic he shared??? i met god. i still think about the workout video DAILY. the day that man goes tits out (or all of them go tits out as a collective 👀 that would be a concept) is the day i ascend from this plane of existence. i, too, want to bite him. i bet he’d moan real pretty in response—

just ONE chance, god, i’m begging you

Do you believe in kadian?

Well, there's nothing to 'believe' in - kadian is a real thing that is used in China. But I think you must be asking me, 'Do you believe that GG and DD use kadian?' and the answer to that is, yes, they do.

Fake, fan fiction, CPN.

What is kadian?

Kadian (Chinese 卡點) is often referred to as 'Chinese number slang'. It takes advantage of the fact that Chinese is a very homophonic language (many things rhyme with each other and sound similar), so it's naturally easy to make puns on things. Because of this, people often make jokes or references that involve these types of sound-alike words. Kadian takes this a step further by using homophones with numbers to say things.

A lot of non-Chinese people struggle to get their head around the idea that people in China use numbers to convey words and phrases, but it really needn't be that difficult to grasp. We do very similar things with acronyms.

If I say OMG, almost everyone knows that means, 'Oh My God'. If I say SMH most people know that means, 'Shaking My Head'. If I say, ANGTFT, a lot of people will recognize it as connected with the whole, 'Ain't No Body Got Time For That' meme. Kadian is a similar thing; a communication shorthand to quickly and easily convey things online or via text.

The same way most people in the US would recognize LOL as meaning, 'Laughing Out Loud', most people in China would recognize 520 to mean, 'I Love You' (in fact, they have a Valentine's celebration on the 20th of May for this very reason).

How popular is it?

It's fairly commonly used, especially among the internet/mobile generation. It's often used in social media marketing by companies and brands. GGDD's endorsement brands have been known to frequently use kadian when posting something connected with either of them. For example, posting at 10:05 (GG's birthdate) or at 8:05 (DD's birthdate).

(Updated with a few examples below, although there are dozens more).

Here is a video of a cute guy explaining some of the ones that are commonly used.

Gestures as kadian

There are hand gestures that are used to refer to numbers. This is another way number slang is sometimes used. The picture of GG above, for example, was posted on his 29th birthday. The hand gestures he is using are 9 and 2 (he adorably has it backwards, because to him it looks like 29, but to the camera it looks like 92).

GG and DD have occasionally used hand gestures in their videos and photos that fans believe incorporate kadian for each other.

Here's a good video on those gestures.

How do we know GG and DD use it?

DD has made reference to kadian in the past on DDU. When asked what romantic things he might do he mentioned noting special dates and times. There was also a segment at one point where kadian was specifically discussed (sorry I don't have those clips handy, but they exist). Also, DD uses kadian far too much for it to be a coincidence.

GG wrote in a Weibo post back in 2016 that he uses kadian, and used hand gestures to spell 520 in the accompanying photos. More recently his studio tried to post something at 10:05 (GG's birthday) and accidentally posted it at 10:06. They replied to the post with crying emoji and said, "Failed kadian."

Some examples from GGDD's posts

GG and DD have used kadian so much that it can't possibly be a coincidence. Especially when you consider the claim by antis and toxic solos that GG and DD hate each other and hate being shipped together. I think the frequency with which kadians connect them to each other proves how untrue that is. If they really hated each other and hated being shipped, it would be incredibly easy to avoid appearing to be referencing each other with kadian, yet GG and DD do the opposite.

Other factors

I think we also need to consider the content of the posts and not just the date/time. A personal post that has a kadian is more likely to be intentional kadian than a political post about an event that's of significance to the government, for example (and in fact there are good reasons why we should not be making candy out of those types of posts).

I also don't buy kadians that require math. A lot of fans will take times that didn't match up and do addition and subtraction to try to crowbar it into a kadian (for example 10:02 - 1 + 2 = 3 = zhan!!). In the vast majority of cases I think that's grasping.

What does it all mean?

It's abundantly clear to me that GG and DD use kadian. I don't even think that can be disputed at this point.

However, I personally don't spend any time at all thinking about or reading into kadian. It just isn't interesting to me. It's cute, but it really doesn't tell us anything new about GGDD. It's not the sort of candy I get very excited about.

So while we can't ignore GGDD use it, I don't personally get too worked up about kadian. Not every kadian holds significance for me.

Some fans obsess over kadian and spend a lot of time on it, others don't. There's no obligation for anyone to buy into things that don't interest them. But I think it's more irrational to deny kadian is a thing with GGDD than it is to believe they use it. We know for certain that they know what kadian is and that they're well familiar with numbers being read as words and phrases, so the fact that their posts so often have clear kadians is noteworthy.

I urge people who aren't into kadian (or any other candy) to try not to be condescending or nasty to people who are. It's quite common in the fandom for people to make snarky comments to people who are excited about a kadian, and it's really disappointing to see.

Kadian Reference

hi! can you write wilbur with a very VERY chaotic reader? like completely different to what people portray his s/o to be in fanfics! the reader has a very schlatt and techno personality? and they don’t like showing pda unlike wil and he makes them really flustered.

thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

chaos is what killed the dinosaurs darling

hi! can you write wilbur with a very VERY chaotic reader? like completely different to what people portray his s/o to be in fanfics! the reader has a very schlatt and techno personality? and they don’t like showing pda unlike wil and he makes them really flustered.

thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hi anon! sorry for taking a while to get back to you. i hope you like this either way (and yes the title is a heathers reference)

cw: cursing 

chaos is what killed the dinosaurs darling:

  after being kicked out of his office, wilbur had to stream in the house for a while. which, sure, it was fine there’s nothing inherently wrong with him streaming there - except for the fact that you were so bored, your brain was melting. you felt like the simuloid transforming to look like alex rogan.

  knowing he was in the room just a few feet away was killing you. when he was in his office he was too far away for you to bother him, so it was fine. but now you were dying. whatever. he wouldn’t care if you barged in. definitely.

  standing up from the couch, you barged into the room. you walked toward him as he questioned you. “uh, what are you doing in here? i’m, uh, live, y’know.” you walked behind his chair, ignoring him. you pulled him away from the desk by the back of his spinny chair, causing him to go across the room. behind you, you heard a small crash and a “shit!” yelled from your boyfriend. oops.

  “hello chat. my stream now.” chat was having a freak out of its own, some mad that you threw wil across the room and some laughing. sometime during you’re coming in and throwing wilbur, he took of his headphones. putting them on, you listened to the laughs of one philza minecraft.

  “hello philza minecraft. dadza. it is i, wilbur shit.” you stared deadpan at the camera.

  through the headphones you could hear phil laughing through a “what the fuck”. “hello, uh, hello wilbur shit. uh, you sure that’s your name?”

  “yes. it is i, wilbur shit. i write about train stations and hot bi- girls. hot girls.” wilbur walked over to you and was trying to rip the headphones of your head.

  “give me back my fucking headphones!” you could hear him laughing through the one ear that was uncovered. you reached up in an attempt to keep the headphones on.

  “don’t grab my headphones, fucking bitch!” you were pulling them back on with one hand and swatting his arm with the other.

  “your headphones? this is my stream, my chat.” he had finally gotten the headphones from you and you were now turned around trying to get them. he put them on and was standing to his full height for once. fucking bitch.

  “give me them back, now. this is my stream.” you were ready to kill this man. you come in here to have a good time and this is how you’re treated? you mentally sighed and ‘smh’.

  “uh, no. what are you gonna do anyways, short bitch? call me names?” he stared at his monitor, trying to make sure you didn’t mess up his set up and that he didn’t miss any donos.

  “yes, actually, i will call you names. bitchbur. bitchbur soot. bitchbur shit. yeah, i said it. you’re a bitch. and not even a pretty one.”

  wilbur made a fake shocked expression. “now, now, don’t speak like that. go do something useful instead of traumatizing the poor people trying to watch the stream. like fixing the chair you threw or something.”.

  “ok, ok, i know when i’m not wanted. i’ll clean for you.” you walked casually out the room until you got to the hallway, where you ran so fast your socks made you slip and slide into the other room, like in the breakfast club. to think of it, han solo also did the same, as did kylo. slido ren.

  you quickly grabbed the handheld vacuum from the front room. wilbur appreciates your chaos, at least you think he does. he better, or else you have a boyfriend to fake breakup with. youtube video tears and everything included.

  you arrived at the bedroom, and walked in with a “oh wilburrrrrr….”.

  he mumbed a “oh god fucking damnit…” before yelling “come in!”. you walked in and over to him, turning the vacuum on as it was up against hsi coat. “what the fuck are you doing???”

  “cleaning the dirt up, bitch.” you moved the vacuum up and down his arm.

  “for the love of god, please stop.” wilbur stood up and began a play fight with you. he ended the fight by knocking the now switched off vacuum out of your hand and pick you up by your waist.

  “put me the fuck down!!!” oh shit. pda pda pda. no no no nonononononono.

  “hmmmm… no.” wilbur bonked you on the top of you head with his lips. fuck this bitch and his cutesy pda bullshit. he threw you on the bed and left to go end his stream. once everything was turned off, he went over to you. “why do you have to cause so much stupid chaos on my stream? just why?”

  “because chaos is what killed the dinosaurs, darling.” you smiled at him.

  “y’know, it’s very worrying to me that you’re quoting jason dean.” he stared at you with a fake judgemental expression.

  “nah, it really isn't. now let’s go get slushies instead of going to therapy.” you jumped off the bed and dragged him out the room, lightly whispering “freeze your brain…”.

hello this has been finished i hope you enjoyed! please ignore all the movie references i made one and then i couldn’t stop

Relationship with NCT Dream

➣ MARK ☾ mari

½ of the best friend crew

honestly at the beginning, mark and aria weren’t very close, having only really seen each other in passing or with johnny

but after being dropped into training together the two quickly became fast friends, and now they’re borderline inseparable

you thought you knew pain? watch aria’s reaction to mark’s graduation from dream :)

mark’s the reason why aria felt confident enough to pitch some of her lyric ideas to the team, after staying up until 4am to help her make some edits so she was as confident as possible

kinda just, rests his head on her shoulder? and wraps his arms around her waist when he’s tired

mari being confused in foreigner: ???

aria said once in a vlive that she finds mark really comforting to be around - when she feels stressed or worried about something she’ll go to mark’s room and just sit on his bed for a while

aria is so close with his parents - “ahh, how’s my favourite child” “i’m doing great mom.” “no not you, how’s aria?” “wh-hu-MOM?”

you’d swear sometimes mark is younger than her, considering the pout he puts on and how much he whines when they’re not on the same team together for promotions

mark big protecc boi but also little small cuddly boi

they’re so soft for each other ( ╥ω╥ )

in one of the fancams for mark’s solo stage during superm, someone zoomed into aria singing along with him in the wings and dancing to herself with the Proudest Smile™

he’s! so! proud! of! her! constantly! she could be walking and he’d be like “omg get it”

when aria refuses to get up and make herself food (this happens way too often, she just gets into the groove of her work and doesn’t want to move) mark gets her to by threatening to do it himself

consistently caught by czennies just standing behind her and holding her hand in crowded areas - airports, waiting rooms, etc.

FAN FAVOURITE MOMENT.

mark and aria were standing off to one side as the mc explained the rules of the game they were about to be playing. mark looked totally confused, and elbowed aria in her side before looking down and mouthing “what?” to her. aria opened her mouth, before closing it and looking down at the ground, muttering to herself, “결합… 結合….. le chéile…. le… le.. oh oh - combined! we have to put them together, markie.”and thus, a new confusion meme was born

➣ RENJUN ☾ renjaria

renjun and aria room together while she’s promoting with dream

they were so awkward around each other at the beginning :(

only really spoke in passing, or when they had to

it was renjun that broke the ice at first, asking if she wanted to go shopping for the dorm together

now it’s their thing

“no aria, we can’t get more ice-cream we’re all supposed to be on diets.” “but  ｡ﾟ･ (>﹏<) ･ﾟ｡ please”

he’s lowkey soft for her but he’d rather throw himself off the roof then tell her that

piano pals

he started teaching her how to properly play once he found her messing around on a keyboard in the studio one day

they actually argue quite a bit

not about big things, but about smaller things that push each other over the edge because of stress

the first time he yelled at her, aria spent the night in hyuck’s room 

hyuck yelled at renjun for making her cry 

now they’re probably the best pairing for talking through their emotions instead of blowing up on each other

they’re both quite opinionated people, and they’ve learnt to navigate that well so fights don’t happen as often

does that stop renjun from teasing aria an within an inch of her life? absolutely not

“i’ll kill you” “can you, reach?” “LISTEN HERE-”

he acts like he’s 10ft tall, excuse you sir you are barely 5′6″

renjun was her mandarin teacher for a while, but then kun kindly told her that her “introduction” was actually calling herself an idiot 

aria has a bad problem with saesangs go away bitches and renjun is iconic for going off on them for her because she doesn’t like to make a big deal out of it all 

he gets so angry on her behalf

that was actually a topic of one of their biggest arguments smh

FAN FAVOURITE MOMENT.

aria was leaning on a pile of books to prop herself up as she leant forwards to try and hang a string of lights on her bedroom wall. renjun walked in, and immediately came to her aid, speaking with a teasing tone. “need a hand?” 

aria, without ceremony just elbowed him in the stomach and used his then folded up figure to push herself up higher. “yes, thank you!”

she got hate for that one, but it was all in good fun and renjun was laughing after it

➣ JENO ☾ nori

aria is his princess and everyone else can fight him

like they’re both doyoung’s children, but if it comes down to it he will lay down his life for her

and not even in a romantic way, just a “you’re too precious i have to protect you” kind of way

czennies thought he was in love with her for the entirety of nct 2018 promotions

this boy was hanging off of her at any given second, and there was an edited video of jeno “glaring” at lucas’ back when the taller boy walked away after hugging aria

it was faked, stan twt needs to chill out

he drags her to the gym 

he’s basically her big brother? but they’re the same age - its a weird dynamic but they make it work

they’re so LOUD together

not chaotic, but he makes her laugh so hard 

vlive 191030: “nono-ah makes my cheeks hurt so i can’t spend too long around him. my sides hurt too ~  ♡(｡- ω -)”

any and all fanfictions written about the two are definitely either coffee shop, university or library AUs

this man walks like a bodyguard around her - boy got the arm over the shoulder, tucked her head into him, covering her face, its a whole ordeal

dispatch released some pictures of aria one day and accidentally blurred out jeno’s face because they thought he was her bodyguard 

is so. so mindful of how long aria spends in the training rooms

like, yes everyone else expects her home before midnight (long story)

but jeno actively makes sure to ask people what time she left the dorm at, and texts her to remind her to take water breaks and to come home at a good time so she can sleep 

these two are the creators of so many iconic vlives - they have a bad habit of going live at 1 or 2 in the morning, just doing random things

FAN FAVOURITE MOMENT.

“hi hi! so, nono and i- jeno stop it, stop it! - nono and i are walking down to the park to go feed the birds - yes we’re going to feed the bird- no! we are not going to feed the ducks, bread can kill the ducks! why did you bring brea-”

jeno pulled the camera from aria’s hands. “ari and i,” he looked at her purposefully, “are going back to the dorms because someone forgot to bring the bird seed, and apparently we can’t give bread to ducks anymore.”

*sounds of aria intermittently hitting and scolding jeno ensue*

➣ DONGHYUCK ☾ arichan

the other half of the best friend crew

absolute heathens to be around when they are together

donghyuck is the person aria is closest to, and someone she’d call her best friend (only when she was sure he wouldn’t hear her)

she calls him “the demon child i can’t get rid of” but will, and has definitely pouted when he ignored her for too long

generally aria is a pretty soft spoken person, but not with hyuck around - he brings out all her chaos energy (please pray for the patience of dotae)

the pair have a little tradition of kissing the back of each others’ hands before going on stage for good luck. they can’t even remember how it started, but now its an unnegotiable pre-show ritual

he’s so clingy with her absolutely everywhere its painfully adorable  (ಥ﹏ಥ)

interviews? hyuck has a hand on her knee, or if she’s wearing a skirt he’s tucked his hand in between their chairs so she can hold it discreetly. in the dorms? full body tackle onto the couch, where he proceeds to lay on top of her completely.

because of hyuck’s nickname being the sun, and aria always being around him, czennies gave her the nickname “moon” to go with him

fans thought that aria was older than hyuck for a good year and a half before she released her birthday on a vlive, because she’s normally the one tasked with reigning his chaotic energy in during promotions (that is, if she hasn’t already joined him)

but off-camera, aria is absolutely hyuck’s baby there is no disputing that. aria’s sad?he’s there with ice-cream and a blanket and a baseball bat.

the winnie the pooh character that is on aria’s bed was a gift from hyuck for her 17th birthday, after she made him watch seven episodes of the show on netflix with her one night

yes he complained, but he slapped her hand away when she went to change it to something else

a twitter thread of a czennie comparing their horoscopes together went viral when people realized that it was quite plausible that the pair were each others (platonic) soulmates

after an incident involving blueberries, donghyuck took it upon himself to check the ingredients of every. single. food item in their dorm to make sure it was ok for her to eat

hyuck clowns her for her irish accent, and aria curses him out in japanese

tldr: they cute or whatever

FAN FAVOURITE MOMENT. 

donghyuck was doing a vlive in his bedroom, sitting and talking to czennies when aria opened the door to his room quietly. she didn’t say anything, just waved slightly with almost closed eyes before she crawled underneath his covers and tucked her plushie underneath her chin. hyuck didn’t even blink at it - so it must have been a regular occurrence.

➣ JAEMIN ☾ nari

jaemin highkey flusters her

not in a oo you’re so cute, cute boy make nerves go eeee

but he’ll wink at her and teasingly compliment her and now she looks like a firetruck this isn’t fair

he absolutely takes advantage of this where ever possible 

“riri, can i have some?” “no, i just made these you should have helped me (-_-)” “riri~ but you looked so cute making them i didn’t want to interrupt you~” *aria.exe has stopped responding*

but when aria isn’t trying to get her cheeks to stop being red, they’re really cute together 

you’d swear aria is older, by how much jaemin whines for her attention

the mighty battles between jaemin and hyuck

hyuck’s just biding his time for the rooftop fight

kinda panics around her when she’s crying, but is always the first to offer up a hug 

has a period tracker on his phone but no one knows about it 

he doesn’t like to coddle her because they’re so close in age, but that doesn’t stop him from getting protective in certain situations *cough cough the fansign cough cough*

jaemin and aria cuddling when they’re drunk? more likely than you’d think

he definitely professed his undying love for her at one point while being drunk, and chenle caught it on video 

“noona we’re playing that at your wedding” 

designated blanket/pillow hunter at award shows, and if he can’t find one then he usually just gives her his jacket

the amount of coffee these two consume should be illegal 

aria prefers to call him nana and he prefers to call her riri in the dorms, so when either of them get called by their first name by the other it means A: they’re on a schedule, or B: someone’s about to die

FAN FAVOURITE MOMENT. 

nct dream on idol room were trying out jaemin’s death-in-a-cup (his coffee) and as the cup got passed around, aria grew more and more concerned with each face the members made. “jaemin if i die from this-”

he only smiled at her while passing over the cup. aria held it up to look at the black liquid skeptically, before sighing in resignation and bringing the cup to her lips to take a sip. 

and then another.

“wait this is good i like this”

➣ CHENLE ☾ leri

hide yo kids and hide yo wives because leri is entering the chat

*cue aria and chenle wearing 2000s rapper clothes with backwards baseball caps*

these two are so chaotically calm

its like the energy cancels out or something 

aria with hyuck is just so loud and obnoxious, and the same with chenle with jisung

so when you put those two together it just turns into le positive vibes

you ever meditated to those 132 hertz sounds? thats them in a sound 

aria will hold him like a baby kitten she’s expecting to try wriggle out of her grip at any moment and its comical because he’s a good head taller than her

aria definitely has a knack for making her groupmates’ parents fall in love with her

every two weeks or so she goes for dinner in chenle’s house upon his mother’s request

they have a mutual understanding of the mental toll it takes to be around the rest of the dreamies constantly

chenle and aria sitting peacefully, watching a cdrama: 

the dreamies, throttling each other: AAAAAAAAAAA

will never admit it but he misses her the most when she goes away to promote

he thinks of her as a big sister and the dorms feel empty without her there

aggressive proud hugs 

so aggressive, he legit tackles her

he had to tone it down after knocking her over once backstage and she narrowly missed clocking herself on a nearby soundboard 

“YAH ZHONG CHENLE YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL!”

he always gets a little bit anxious when they eat things outside of the dorms because he’s never seen her have an allergic reaction before and he’d like to keep it that way  (`皿´＃)

FAN FAVOURITE MOMENT. 

chenle was particularly restless that day, constantly shuffling about in his seat to the point where renjun forcefully tossed an arm over his shoulders to hold him still while the vlive was still playing.

not one to be defeated, chenle then turned to press his lips to renjun’s cheek playfully, laughing when the older boy turned away in disgust. he turned to do the same to aria, coming closer to her cheek before aria turned her head to face his.

“AAA-” “EW CHENLE WHY”

➣ JISUNG ☾ jiri

oh god oh god oh god

if aria could take this boy and wrap him in a blanket and keep him in her pocket she would - no questions asked 

jisung knows she loves him the most out of dream sorry markhyuck and takes advantage of it every second

she used to coddle him a lot when he was smaller, but now that he’s older aria tries to rein it in as much as possible

that doesn’t mean it goes away completely though

“noona can you cook for me?” “of course jisungie! what do you want?” 

*jeno gobsmacked in the background* “you just told me you were too tired to cook tonight”

aria: big baby, must protect

jisung: tiny noona, must protect

jaemin and aria are really the only people jisung is ok with seeing him be super emotional - and he flip flops between the two depending on the reason why he’s emotional

self-esteem, feeling poopy side of it all? straight into aria’s bed, letting her roll him onto his side so she can tuck his head into her shoulder and covers the two of them with her duvet the way she used to do when he was shorter

this boy cannot curse around her unless he wants to get his ass Beat

dancing bros

they go so hard in their NCT Dance duet videos 

he keeps band-aids in his bag for her in exchange for her keeping an extra bottle of water in hers because jisung always forgets his own

jisung rests his elbow on her head a lot

but only briefly because the last time he stayed there for too long she stamped on his foot

tldr: aria is jisung’s emotional support gnome

FAN FAVOURITE MOMENT. 

jisung and aria were doing the chicken leg battle (this one) to fight for first dibs on the rooms they were going to be sharing for the next week or so. just before they were about to start, mark started laughing and pointing at how high jisung’s leg came up on aria’s, with aria’s knee barely hitting jisung’s mid-thigh

“this is an unfair advantage! this is cheating!”

[serenedash]

I started rambling about my experience with kh and then it turned into khux and then it just turned into me rambling about Ryou and my art journey????? enjoy I guess,

it’s very long but there’s art in there :)

It’s funny to think about my kh journey as a whole tbh, I grew up watching my mom play video games, which included kh1 and 2. I wasn’t allowed to play the playstation2 we owned BUT I did have a gameboy so the first game I played was CoM (after my mom finished it ofc,) so I guess you could say I’ve always been passionate about kh “””side games””” lmao but I did fall off of kh very quickly bc again, I wasn’t allowed to play our PS2 and also I Am A Terrible Gamer I’ve Never Finished CoM I’m sorry you all had to find out like this, but then 358/2 came out when I was in middle school and!!! I didn’t care and I didn’t play idk why lol

Anyway, fast forward to high school I’m like 15 and my older sister, who HAS been keeping up with kh, has a wallpaper on her phone of roxas and ventus. And bc I haven’t kept up I say “nice roxas wallpaper” and she says “thanks but it’s roxas and ventus” and I proceeded to get so mad that I was determined to prove to her that her wallpaper was just roxas twice and then I fell down the BBS rabbit hole and suddenly I was reading about vanitas and then I’m reading the fan translations of the BBS novel and I’m crying??? I am sobbing???? and that’s how I actually got into kh for real lol we are vanitas stans before we are people,

It’s so funny how I thought I was some kh super fan, knowing all this stuff that I spent so long reading and rewatching cutscene movies, but I never once, SOMEHOW NEVER ever came across khx. It’s so absurd and bizarre I seriously have no idea how I never once encountered khx prior to khux. I suppose that has to do with the fact I wasn’t involved in the fandom? In early high school I had stepped away from fandoms as a whole and I didn’t have any interest in really posting content or interacting with fans anymore bc of how burnt out I was from a previous fandom,

but khux released! and I was so hype and excited for it! on launch day I was a senior in high school, I had ran around to every “nerd” and weeb I could find in school to ask them to join my party and fun fact about me is I have crippling social anxiety I literally refuse to start conversations irl so holy shit I was OUT HERE doing the MOST

My player just originally had my name (Matt) but everyone in my party had fun names so Ryou was born! High school was one big yugioh phase for me and ryou bakura is one of my favorite characters ever so it was just the logical name choice lol I quickly started creating Ryou, the character, as well. I was also leaving my homestuck phase and that + vanitas obsession made This character design (art circa 2016)

If y’all are familiar with my kh oc’s you might notice that keyblade now belongs to my kid Monty LOL

Anyway that got scrapped quickly for the chip and dale outfit (which is where Ryou’s trademark goggles are from <3) Goggles have been a staple of my character designs for a LONG TIME so like, it had to be done, (that’s a separate ramble about a separate oc tho)

OG Ryou was an interesting guy; he was a young party leader with this overwhelming responsibility on his shoulders bc of his status as a party leader. In his original story, he also struggled heavily with darkness, much like Terra but for Ryou it was more that the darkness was controlling him and not like a source of power like it was for Terra

A big part of early Ryou I kept, however, was the crushing awareness of loss. One of my party members (the strongest one at the time,) had left without saying a word and I was very confused and hurt. This was around the time the ephemera plot was happening so I decided to incorporate it into Ryou’s story; having him experience losing a friend to darkness since it’s so normal for wielders in Daybreak Town to just disappear, and this would unintentionally become a theme for both me and Ryou as khux friends would just randomly disappear.

I was desperate for khux at this point and I decided to watch the fan translations for khx and GOD, god, was I obsessed. I couldn’t stop thinking about the foretellers. And I’m not going off about that here bc I already did that, but I actually started entering fandom again! I did it slowly, I started on tumblr before this blog was made altho it was me sending anons to the few khux related blogs I could have lol a friend convinced me to get twitter where I got involved with the ffxv fandom, which led me to the kh fandom and eventually the khux fandom there which is what REALLY got me going on khux.

I joined discord servers, most of the servers I’m in are khux related, and from there I joined the khux oc rp (shout out to anyone there who might be reading this lol here’s some art from the beginning of the rp,)

It’s SO FUNNY how the RP influenced me so heavily. I hadn’t RP’d in YEARS, I used to have a strict no oc rp policy, but here I was? And the funny part is, I had barely developed Ryou. I had scrapped his original story and all I had was POST WAR Ryou so I literally had to reverse write him; I had only ever written him as a depressed, guilt ridden adult, but it was a fucking blast and I have such fond memories of this rp when it was active,

But anyway, this encouraged me to get more serious about art! I started drawing, writing, cosplaying, and roleplaying when I hadn’t done any of that stuff in a very long time. The first time I ever drew a background was for a deviant art khux competition actually LOL

also! I always think extremely fondly of the drawing I did of Aced in the keyblade war. It was also one of the first backgrounds I ever drew and it felt like my real starting point in the khux fandom. It got a ton of notes on here and someone wrote a tiny fic in a reblog which just made me SO HAPPY like it really felt like people were noticing me :) I was going to draw a matching Ira but!! I just never did!! One day tho, it’s on my art bucket list to redraw this along with Ira,

Aside from my personal growth, khux was great for my social life ngl, I made SO MANY friends online and got to meet a ton of people irl over the years! It’s crazy to think about all the people I now know and talk to? It honestly makes me really emotional. I’ll never forget taking the train into NYC and meeting up with discord friends. Going to conventions and talking with people about the latest khux update? Absolutely insane and those were some GOOD TIMES, if I thanked every khux friend or even just person who made an impact on me then we’d be here for a LONG TIME,

Fun fact, for my Lauriam cosplay all I needed to buy was the wig I just owned his outfit LOL also? Probably retiring that cosplay ngl people treated me like absolute garbage when I wore him and it led to a lot of confidence issues for awhile ngl. That’s probably one of the only memorable negative experiences I have with khux; it was great when khux people recognized me but for kh fans that weren’t in khux? They were FUCKING MEAN??? fuck kh fandom at large, I only care about khux fandom,

This leads me to another huge part of my experience in khux fandom: THEORIES!! I used to write SO MANY and oh my god my brain was so full all the time. It was a huge appeal for me in the fandom; I had been previously writing theory posts in the RWBY fandom and it just migrated over to khux for me lol I had done a ton of theorizing around Lauriam tbh, it was really the only reason I liked his character at all bc initially I did not care about the dandelions, anyone who wasn’t Skuld I was like “please leave Now thanks”

A funny part of khux fandom I never intended to be apart of is the MEMES, I really only started doing memes as stress relief bc college had me so busy all I had time/energy for was these quick little shit post drawings.

The first meme I made, file name “invi despair” LOL we need to get her a girlfriend smh anyway, I think in my senior year of college I did a bunch of rapid fire memes all in one month bc the stress of finals was getting so bad afdgfhdgf as far as I know my impact on this fandom will be my memes bc all I do now is enter a kh/khux server and introduce myself and I go “yeah I draw art. here’s a meme” and everyone goes OH YOU, honestly I am nothing if not a clown

I’ve talked so much idk where I’m going with this. Khux is just a good game even if the gameplay actually kind of really sucks yknow lol but it was the first game I played where I like, REALLY got into the meta and the mechanics. I used to read so much on the mechanics and watch youtube videos on which medals were worth pulling for. I was never a whale or a top player exactly, but I could rank well if I tried lol I’ve made it to the top 100 for solo rankings, my party has made it to top 10, and in pvp I’ve made top 300. I’m not the highest level in my party but FUCK do I know how to manipulate this game LOL

And with all that hard work, the strategies, the theorizing, the content I’ve made-- it’s been my life for 5 years. I’ve logged into khux almost every single day. At the end, I have logged 1820 days in khux out of 1910 days. Kinda crazy. Crazier I’ve never spent money on khux either lol the only “money” gone into it was one time my mom gave me a google play store gift card and I used it on my birthday for a VIP xemnas medal which eventually made it to regular pulls anyway but it was nice and a little treat :)

I’m not a gacha fan, I don’t care for it, so I don’t think I’ll be touching another gacha again. But for kh? This was pretty fucking awesome, even if it sucked a lot sometimes LOL It was worth it for the people I’ve met most of all I think. I would honestly be a completely different person without khux and that’s REALLY insane to think about.

Celebrity Crush

choi soobin x male!reader

word count – 0.7K

genre – FLUFF

warning(s) – none, embarassing friends?

synopsis – Soobin thinks that despite the fact him and his group are collaborating with his favourite artists/the most famous soloist in Korea, he's totally able to keep his cool... Maybe not.

"No way. No we're not."

"Did I stutter?"

"Bro, you're always making jokes like this, stop lying to me–"

"He's literally in the recording studio, Soobin, we can literally–"

"Fine, I believe you," Soobin said, before hesitantly looking at Yeonjun, "...But what if I spontaneously combust when I look at him?"

Yeonjun blinked, before sighing and walking out of the practice room, "I swear to god, you call yourself our leader."

"Hey!"

Soobin was extra nervous about meeting you, considering you're one of many artists he looks up to, and even more nervous considering you're the first solo artist TXT is collaborating with.

It wouldn't be a stretch to say that he religiously listens to your music.

You'd only been in the industry for two years and had made it number one in so many billboard categories that Soobin's reactions shouldn't be considered to be exaggerated. The leader literally owns all your album, most of your photocards, and knows your fan chants like the back of his hand, you're just one of his favourite musicians, if not his favourite.

There had been a point in time where TXT had attended one of your concerts, and it was safe to assume that Soobin had personally felt attacked at how majestic you look on stage.

He's seen so many videos of your interactions with fans and almost been jealous of the few who got to have a genuine conversation with you.

You're just so lovely, and it makes Soobin so butterfly-y inside.

You have such an effect on him he's started creating his own adverbs to describe his feelings smh.

-

All five boys had entered your recording studio, watching you get into the chorus of your yet-to-be-released song, but you'd immediately stopped as soon as you noticed the members of TXT.

Soobin in particular, found it so selfless how you stopped your whole recording just to talk to them, even ignoring the groan of your manager just to meet them. Guess fans aren't lying when they say that you're naturally selfless.

Oh god, you're attractive, talented and selfless. His mother would be so thankful that people like you are his type.

"Hi, guys!" You bowed, before standing back up to smile at the boys, "I'm [Y/N][L/N], It's lovely to meet you all!"

"Oh my god, you're the guy Soobin has been stressing over?" Taehyun chuckled, before looking at his friend, "He seems to nice, Soobinnie. You really need to relax sometimes."

"What?" Soobin snapped, eyes wide, "I wasn't–"

"He totally was. You're our leader's favourite artist, [Y/N]-Hyung. He's never not listening to your music," Hueningkai added.

"Guys, c'mon–"

This time Beomgyu interupted, "Wow, he's actually so handsome, I almost don't blame Soobin-Hyung."

"Guys! Jesus Christ!" He practically pleaded at this point. His cheeks flaming pink before actually looking at you, "It's great to finally meet you, [Y/N]. I hope you enjoy our company," He said, forging a relaxed smile.

"Us or just you?" Hueningkai added.

Soobin slapped the younger boy on the shoulder without even looking at him, the fact that you were trying to hold back an amused laugh was embarassing enough to him. Whatever confidence as leader he had left decided to run away as he burried his face into his hands. This would be hilarious if it weren't him, he promised himself he'd make fun of them when their celebrity crush comes around.

"It's okay, it's okay," You giggled before taking a few steps forward. You stopped in front of Soobin, taking a hold of his hands and placing them into yours, giving him one of your gorgeous smiles, "I appreciate the work of people who appreciate mine. Thanks Soobin."

[mashtonasfuck]

so I’ve been debating posting something since this morning, so here we are 😌

I’m so endlessly grateful that I found Luke on YouTube almost 10 years ago. Watching him go from a solo artist, to a three piece band, and then to a four piece band has been an absolute privilege. He’s grown into his role as a frontman and he owns it.

Seeing Michael grow into a kickass lead guitarist and become honestly the softest man on the planet has me 🥺 (Michael was my lane for some of the early days of the band so he has a green hair-dye coloured piece of my heart 💚)

Cal is my forever cheat lane and I love him for that honestly. He gave up a career in football for his boys, and I hope he still feels like it was the right decision bc the band wouldn’t be the band without Calum 🥺 he plays bass and keys, and sings, and honestly what more could I want 😌

Then we have Ash. My main man. Drummer, singer, solo artist - a man of many vibes. I’ve talked a lot about what he in particular has done for me before, so I won’t go into it again, but just know I’m still endlessly in love with that clown. Even if he’s been making me emo af lately smh

Today is 9 years of 5sos, but it’s also 9 years of me finding the band that I call home. They’ve been there through every facet of my life; every single up, and every single down. I’ve watched them grow up and I’ve grown up alongside them, and while the difference in our lives sometimes makes me wonder where the fuck I went wrong (😌), I wouldn’t change it for anything. They’re my boys and I’m so honoured to exist alongside them. 🥺

today also feels special because through these boys I’ve met some of the most wonderful people and gained the best friends I’ve ever had in my life. (some quick shoutouts under the cut bc it’s emo hours lads✌🏼) This fandom isn’t always the nicest place to be, but I like to think that our little community over here is pretty good.

Happy 9 years boys, I can’t wait for the big 1-0 💙

@loveroflrh - Lauren, I’m so blessed to know you. You’re such a sweetheart and I’m SO SAD that we didn’t get to meet for my birthday, but i have faith that it will happen 🙏🏼 getting to know you recently has been a blessing, and witnessing you and Beth progressively losing it over the plot of Brave is one of my highlights of 2020, so thank you 😂 you’re a wonderful writer, and a wonderful friend, and I love youuu 💙

@kindahoping4forever - Crys, you’re a gem. I feel like we really bonded over firefight (still not over it), and since then the clownery has got progressively worse. Your fics are devastating and I hope one day dream!Crystal finally gets her moment. Your skills of manifestation are simply unmatched and quite honestly a little scary. I’m desperate to get my butt over to you when it’s safe to, disney is calling our names. love you 💙

@feliznavidaddycal - Raaachhhh. I feel like we’ve spoken a lot more since 🤡 club was born and you’re so wonderful. I hope you know that whenever there’s a notif from you in the gc I brace myself because it’s usually something devastating. I’m sad we didn’t get to DC this year, but you are on my list of people to come and give love to 🥺 Love you 💙

@irwinkitten - teej, I love you so much 💙 getting to FINALLY squish you in July was wonderful and I’m so endlessly proud of everything you ever do. You were one of the very first people I ever followed when I made this account way back in the day, and to be able to call you my friend is honestly a little whack, but you’re a wonderful human and I can’t wait to be able to squish you again soon 🥺

@pxrxmoore - Beth (you really thought I’d write all that and forget about you?), you already know how I feel about you and our friendship. I’m so grateful I inboxed you about Luke being chained to the ceiling in the easier video 😌 befriending you is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made and I can’t wait until we can do all the things we have planned. we’ve done so many things since we first met irl last November - we’ve got so many more tattoos, and been to waga’s probably more times than is sensible, we’ve made some questionable decisions and both almost had a panic attack outside a shop in Birmingham (😌✌🏼) but our chaos is unmatched. screaming about Ashton with you is always a pleasure. thank u for helping turn my emoji heart from black to blue. love u beech 💙

quick mentions also to: @malumsmermaid (Lauren, we are also desperate to come and see you as soon as we can 🥺), @karajaynetoday, @ashtonsunshine, @calpops, @ashtonlftv - I speak to all of you in varying degrees, but I always love seeing you on my dash, and you make this fandom brighter just by being in it 💙

I’ve probably forgotten someone and for that I can only apologise, but if you’ve ever interacted with me in anyway, then just know that I love you and I’m grateful for you 💙

15, 17, 74 and ummm 95!

Dani hiiii

15. Which one of the boys would you changes styles with?

My style rn is very Louis, I'd love to switch with Niall. Handsome man with epic fashion sense, and I love dress pants.

17. Which one of the boys would you go Wine and Paint with?

Zayn haha

74. Have you done stupid things because of this band? Do you feel like a fool about it?

Well I wasn't in the fandom when they were together, so technically no? But I did skip sleep for 2 days on their 10 year anniversary because of timezones, and yes I feel like a fool about it because we got absolutely nothing smh

95. What 1D or solo moment makes you unironically cry the most?

As I answered: That video diary where they're all goofing around and Niall goes "We're the five best friends". All the video diaries. Or watching any of their music vids. Ugh.

100-1D asks

[cruddyborderlandstheories]

Debuff Zane Build

i am tired of not seeing this build in all the zane build videos i watch so im sharing it here because its stupid fun bc u run fast and kill faster. it’s not meta, but its fun as fuck and u have a lot of damage and survivability with it. I’ve completed M4 Slaughter Shaft with it- haven’t tried on M10 yet but i have faith. p.s its 4 am pls have mercy if there’s spelling mistakes.

what ur gonna need is a band of sitorak, zheitseiv’s eruption, a seein’ dead, and the piss grenade. everything else is fair game, whatever u want. try to get it to have the sntl cryo anoint bc good. but u must have the 4 main items for this to work perfectly (it also somewhat works with a low level Frozen Heart bc best shield in the game but you will die a lot more)

also i need a fucking name for this build help

oh god oh fuck i forgot i was playing through the handsome jackpot dlc again

oki im ready to party

this is my current loadout

sometimes i switch the reg Q-System for a kaoson or a nighthawkin if i need ammo (OP QSystem is... OP but not as fun as a tracking grenade QSystem so i don’t care for it) and maybe the brainstormer for a reflux if many shielded enemies (i prefer the brainstormer over the reflux atm. so try for a brainstormer!!)

3rd slot, that’s a monarch which used to be a dictator b4 it got a straight upgrade. I actually don’t use the bipod unless im in a boss fight and don’t need to move fast. usually violent momentum and violent violence cover the dps loss

ur first 3 gun slots honestly don’t matter much. I have my reasons for using them, but you can use whatever u want i think, so long as its a strong weapon (bc unfortunately a lot of weapons are not scaled for m10). u dont HAVE to use the monarch or the Q system or the brainstormer. I recommend them, cuz theyre fun, but u don’t gotta if u wanna swap em out for a a kaoson or a yellowcake or a sandhawk or smth

the last gun is my zheitsev’s eruption. This bad boy, when u reload, shoots out homing balls of debuffery. So every enemy that gets hit with these gets a debuff. I have tried this with the needler but I prefer Zheitsev’s bc it can hit more enemies and once and takes less time. this gun only goes to Blane (ur clone). 

for the skill trees we have no points in under cover even tho brainfreeze is the best skill in the gaaaaame

explanations: 

really the hitman tree is p self explanatory, u wanna go fast as fuck boiii. My band of sitorak does not have the +15 movespeed while zoomer is active anoint (it has the break shield amp anoint, which is p okay. want movespeed, but a nice human from the reddit gave me this sitorak so i didn’t have to farm). u want drone delivery bc Blane will NOT be throwing grenades. If you try to make him throw grenades with the seein’ dead he will ONLY throw grenades and never fire his gun, meaning he’ll never reload. it’s a nightmare. anyway. u want the piss grenade (ideally with the +25% damage on thrown anoint). im not looking forward to regrinding this when they finally mayhem buff grenades.

we put one point into playing dirty because we want those extra shots and honestly with the amount of times seein’ dead can proc ur kill skills you’ll have it more often than not

we also have points in good misfortune for that sweet sweet uptime (which btw can be infinite using the brainstormer/reflux bc it is essentially a redistributor without the need for ur barrier) the monarch/dictator also does it justice

for Blane u DON’T WANT praemuntis. we want blane reloading as often as gotdamn possible. now unfortunately my seein’ dead gave me a +weapon mag size roll (im actually not sure if this affects blane, but im assuming it does) but it does have the amazing +5 donnybrook so I’m taking it anyway. I am so not looking forward to regrinding a good class mod when they finally release action skill buffs for them. i cri. i actually hear 3 points in donnybrook and 2 in violent violence is p good (or 1 in violent violence 1 in playin dirty) so maybe grinding won’t be so bad. maybe i’ll finally get a +weapon damage roll

u can grab 1 point in ducttape mod and put 4 points into borrowed time if you want. it doesn’t really matter. i current have 5 in borrowed time and 3 in pocket full of grenades (for some reason??? usually i only put 2 in.). U can do that and use those extra points for either ducttape mod or more points in playing dirty. 

u NEED quick breather. This skill has a STUPID interaction with the band of sitorak shield because of how quickly it recharges. I’m talking, the instant you swap with Blane, you have full shields and so does he. It’s dumb, I love it. Use it to get out of trouble.

so im probably gonna need to explain why i have 3 points in trick of the light: im a cryo slut. That’s it. put those wherever you want, just make sure you can get Double Barrel. i’ve seen builds where people actually go for brainfreeze, i might try that next time i respec.

Double barrel will make it so blane can use the zheitsev’s eruption and debuff your enemies for you. it’s worth it.

so the augments u want are these:

SCHADENFREUDE. because band of sitorak has such a tiny capacity, ur shield is constantly up. If its not, it’s constantly breaking from full capacity. this does have a fun effect with the amp shield break anoint, but mainly i like it for the 25% damage buff whenever it breaks. its a tradeoff for damage, ur constantly swapping between max shields and more damage, so its actually p constant survivability and damage over the long run.

i grab doppelbanger bc blane sometimes gets stuck in the floor and/or i don’t feel like running all the way back. i wouldn’t recommend getting which one’s real or digital distribution only bc u want him alive as much as possible. u can also get binary system instead of doppelbanger, its up to you

for Zoomer u want bad dose for the movement speed and (sometimes) static field (only if the enemies have shields). this is so if blane goes down or he isn’t taking damage, zoomer can refill ur shields. if the enemies won’t have shields usually i grab winter’s drone or boomsday depending on how i feel.

im actually gonna try to see if i can’t grab brain freeze. hang on. i know trick of the light is frowned upon for most people so lemme just respec. (im sorry i just love the vibes it gives me it’s like HAHA you thought that was me? no!!! boop. and then they’re ice sculptures and man i love h2o i wish emma had frozen more people the only people she really freezes are Greg and Miriam and honestly she doesn’t even kill Greg smh. (Greg is dr denman’s assistant. greg is highkey god.) I do like what she did to Mirami, the fucking implications that YES these teenage girls ARE powerful enough to instakill people, they just don’t out of the kindness of their hearts. Rikki was badass that episode too. actually i love the episode where rikki almost boils a dude alive for making a fool of her with ILLEGAL F I S H and burns people using steam from a pipe. rikki is my favorite mermaid- she knew what was u p. I wish mako mermaids was as badass as h2o was. and the cartoon. god imagine the cartoon violence. sigh. let them use their op superpowers to be SUPERHEROES. like in h2o au i have baron flynt puppeteer people to their deaths from Thor bc he has cleo’s powers like why couldn’t she do that to someone. Like dr denman “lmao bye bitch” or even charlotte (who imho wasn’t bad until cleo started being rude to her. cleo was 100% at fault that season). it wouldn’t have killed her!!! ... instantly. probably. ive never seen avatar in full but i did watch the blood bending episode as a child and as i understand it that’s frowned upon but hey. CAN BELLA TURN PEOPLE INTO JELLY?? harry potter 🅱oneless arms... my god.)

anyway, respeccing. 

there goes all my money. rip.

so i think im gonna have to live with the slower reload speed (sob) but yes u can in fact get brain freeze with this build. lemme show...

so ye in the event u just can’t live without freezing people (i know the feeling) feel free to do this. imma play with this for a bit and see if i can live with slower reload. I actually depend on the 100% cryo with zoomer active for all my cryo damage. i also use an ice breaker so they freeze fairly easy (but only on mobs. on bosses u want the snowdrift or something else)

this build isn’t really meta and u might have trouble doing a solo run of true takedown on m10... bc its true takedown on m10, but honestly it’s fun as F U C K. you CAN do it, but it’s not no thoughts head empty like barrier-redistrubutor/yellowcake zane can be so u gotta be on TOP of ur SHIT. i love it. running around killing stuff. it’s fun. i also love teleporting. it’s my FAVORITE THING. I STILL GET GIDDY OVER IT BECAUSE IT’S SO FUN. ask my friends, they will tell you, sometimes i’ll just start gushing over how much fun it is to teleport even though i’ve played zane since release. just. GFDGHKJGDFK so much fun. i just... b o o p. god i love this game. i took a break to play assassin’s creed odyssey (fun sneaky beaky game, pretty awful dialogue) so DAMN i missed this. 

here’s a link to a video I took on athenas (my favorite area to run. it’s this game’s bloodshot stronghold!) this is the playlist i listen to while playing Zane. i keep swapping songs during play bc sometimes they don’t fit my vibe or i get tired of them lol (spotify control is hooked to my 4th and 5th mouse buttons so i don’t have to stop playing) i forgot where my shock sandhawk was in my inventory, is what i use to demolish traunt. i was so scared i threw it in my bank earlier on sanc-iii lol (also yes i still slap blane’s ass. it’s to encourage him to kill)

and here’s a link to the save + everything I had on me at the moment (including the stuff i picked up in the vid in case u want it lol) cuz im lazy and don’t feel like clearing out my inventory. some of these are only m4-9. which ones? it is a mystery. you’ll know when the new update releases ;) (no but actually im so hype for mayhem level on the item cards. finally. FINALLY!!!)

why is this video taking so long to upload. hynnnggggg

oh god is that the sun

[unproduciblesmackdown]

for the question thing... 1, 13, & 22

yee Thank You al :)

1. What were your favorite things to draw when you were a lil kid?

i know i drew things besides random animals but it’s gonna take a second to recall what any of them are.......tf was i doing back in the day. sometimes i drew horses and once there was some classic moment in elementary school where i’d doodled one like. in a band?? horse playing the drums? idk. and a couple other people got into a back and forth abt whether i could draw a better horse than that or not. luckily they did not feel the need to consult me on it like, why would i be holding back my true horse drawing powers??

13. What’s the best thing you can cook?

a lemon meringue pie isn’t that hard to make Actually but i’ve made homemade ones before, but also i am not very enthusiastic about Any pies, personally, but like, i guess objectively that’s somewhat fancy and people tend to like it. wait we also had a really solid fine-tuned recipe for choc chip cookies that we’d make pretty frequently, of course i managed to never memorize it or anything, and it is not as fancy / potentially challenging / involved to make, but i am a lot more excited abt that than the pie. wait i do enjoy Separating Eggs for the meringue, where you crack an egg and pass the yolk from one half of the shell to the other so you can Isolate the eggwhites....u can also do it with a little strainer thing ig but not as fun. and like, the meringue is good, but that’s not difficult b/c it’s mostly just Sugar given a v nice texture lmao......

22. What song(s) from your youth/teenage do you still secretly really like?

hm i don’t really Dislike any of them i don’t think lol like....what’s that post about “wtf we gotta get back to the club!!!” about like circa 2010 Pop lmfao......i’ve never like “secretly” liked anything, but also, i never had A Phase where i was into fuckin pop punk emo my chemical blink 182 at the disco or anything to feel cringe about, although sometimes there were songs from back then that i’d be Surprised to later learn was like Oh that one was emo bop 32 actually, like lmfao oh if i’d ever seen the music video for “shake it” rather than it being someone’s Youtube Outro or smthing i surely would have realized lmfao..........the other day i was thinking “is liking simon and garfunkel like, my version of how all these lgbtqs i know are all into the mountain goats whom ive listened to like one or two songs by and am just Not interested,” which is relevant b/c i mean i heard it occasionally growing up thanks to mainly listening to whatever my parents put on, but then there was sure like, a summer / year or so where i was like “im gonna listen to this simon and garfunkel Compilation album/s like 239 times” plus some paul simon solo stuff but. not Released back then certainly lmao and i like it openly All Along (again #tbt my college roommate was once like “never pass milo the aux” after they were like “u can put on whatever you’re listening to like, on speakers” and then rescinded b/c they didn’t enjoy Baby Driver i guess, but then a decade later they like that movie??? smh) but like, shrug
