[runaway-mine-train]

The Ministry of Joy is lying to you, riding the Runaway Mine Train is the TRUE path to permanent happiness, NOT The Smiler.

ok thinking about the smiler again and i really wanna visit alton towers at some point bc their entire theming is awesome especially the entirety of x sector like what the fuck. i have only gone on one big-ish roller coaster in my life and i have had a craving ever since

[victorluvsalice]

-->And fortunately, when I did boot up the game and hit the old “Resume” button once the worst of the storm was over, everything was where I’d left it! :D I thus sent the trio over to the speaker in the pub to have a nice dance and chat together (with Smiler raving about non-exclusive relationships to Victor and showing off some sweet moves), before ending on some kisses (after Alice briefly ran off to the bar to get another wrench XD). I then sent Alice and Smiler out to look at the competition entries (Smiler praising Victor’s pie) while Victor finally got HIS drink from Sara the publican (only fair!). Once they’d gotten an eyeful, I had Alice go dig up a dirt pile I’d spotted looking around the area (turned out to be a mustache fossil – pretty sure they’ve got that already), while Smiler made friends with the mayor and (after a bit of combing through the menus – the Finchwick sidequests are under “Friendly” under “Activities,��� everyone) offered to help with her errands. She offered them the choice between the “welcome to Henford-On-Bagley tour” (which, they’ve been living here for both in-game AND real-world years, I think they’re good XD) and “going around asking people if they’re the recipient of this package I put together and then forgot who it was supposed to be mailed to.” XD Smiler took the second and started meeting and greeting around the fair to see who the package belonged to. The mayor’s adopted son, grocery deliverer Rahul? Nope. Kim of the grocery stand? Nope, though they did learn that she’s a Foodie. Fellow fair competitor Thomas Watson? Nope. Sara behind the bar? Nope. Huh. Seems like tracking down the owner of this package is going to be a little tougher than Smiler or I thought! O.o

-->Anyway – while Smiler was making the rounds, I had Alice entertain herself by window-shopping at the various shops in the town square (shame that they don’t actually SELL anything without the help of mods), then play a few games on her phone after throwing away the rotten meat in her inventory (whoops – sorry Alice!). All while Victor had his drink, then (to stop him constantly going back for MORE drinks – I’m starting to think my trio has a juice problem) napped on a bench. He woke up in time for the end of the Fair though, and stood on the green while it all faded away around him, awaiting the results. A few moments later, he learned that he’d gotten a participation ribbon for the pie contest (aw) –

And first prize in the Oversized Crops contest! :D I mean, the mushroom was up against an equally-small lettuce, so it wasn’t MUCH of a victory, but I will take that ribbon! And the extra treats he got from winning – another pumpkin and chocolatey treat, and a spicy treat to boot. :D Nice. Now I just gotta remember to USE them…

Did y’all know there’s a rollercoaster in the UK themed after hypnosis?

Now as a self-proclaimed theme-park enthusiast and a hypnosis writer (can I call myself a writer? Anyways) you know that I am b-lining straight towards it any time I happen to be in Alton Towers.

That’s right, let me introduce you to: The Smiler.

The whole gimmick is the Ministry of Joy brainwashing you through the ride to be happy all the time. Through smells, spirals, a world-record amount of inversions, and more, the big machine in the centre, “The Marmaliser”, basically reprograms you.

The tagline? “You belong to the Smiler”.

UGH it’s so good!! The theming is great, they commit to the bit, and every piece of merch has spirals plastered all over it. And you just know I own like half of that gift shop.

Anyone else here been on the Smiler? And if so, what were your thoughts?

She wasn’t a famous knight, and kings were supposed to put the realm before their sisters.

Arya IV, ASOS

AKSJSNIABABSNABSBS

Jon Snow could’ve “put the realm before his sister” by rationalizing that he can do more good as Stannis’ man and Lord of Winterfell. But he chose not to because

Which would you have as Lord of Winterfell, Snow? The smiler or the slayer?”

Jon said, “Winterfell belongs to my sister Sansa.”

The same Jon who, when push came to shove, decided to become a deserter, to abandon his post as the “shield that guards the realms of men”, for his family….FOR HIS SISTER!!!

I have my swords, thought Jon Snow, and we are coming for you, Bastard.

Yarwyck and Marsh were slipping out, he saw, and all their men behind them. It made no matter. He did not need them now. He did not want them. No man can ever say I made my brothers break their vows. If this is oathbreaking, the crime is mine and mine alone.  […]

ateez as coasters from my favourite theme park

for those of you who don’t know, i am a coaster enthusiast and this specific theme park is my favourite place on planet earth hehehe

park seonghwa - th13teen

this image is actually both th13teen and rita! they’re the only two coasters in the park that kind of interact in this way and i think that’s very cute and very matz!!

th13teen is initially quite tame but there’s a secret twist (a drop track!!) that adds a little spice in there which reminds me of seonghwa’s duality on and off stage

the theming is also kind of culty which i feel is very hwa!

kim hongjoong - rita

this image is once again rita over the th13teen queue line and again, the way that the two coasters interact is so matz, it was meant to be

the thing about rita is the ride itself is very short (about 25 seconds) but it’s a launch coaster which means it accelerates very fast (i got whiplash the first time i rode it) which is SO. HONGJOONG.

its also red and i love hongjoong with red hair! please sir… give me what i want (red hair)

jeong yunho - oblivion

this majestic coaster is oblivion! a vertical drop coaster that drops the rider 180 feet into the ground! it’s the tallest coaster in the park so take from that what you will…

it’s also the first vertical drop coaster to ever be created! it’s become such an iconic coaster for the park and played a huge part it making the park what it is today. yunho joining hongjoong all those years ago reminds me of this coaster; it sparked the beginning of an era

kang yeosang - galactica

this beautiful delight of a coaster is galactica, a flying coaster that may not always get shown the appreciation it deserves. despite that, she is such a wonderful addition to the park and it really wouldn’t be the same without her

she may not be as outwardly intense as the other coasters but she is fun and riding her always makes me smile just like yeosang does!!!

she’s probably one of the most beautiful coasters at the park in my humble opinion!

choi san - the wickerman

this, my friends, is the wickerman! a wooden coaster which may seem unassuming but is actually one of the best and most intense coasters at the park!!!

she’s made entirely of wood, including the huge wickerman structure that you pass through multiple times. she seems very sturdy in a natural way, just how san feels to me; reliable and sturdy and very natural

it smells like a bonfire and it’s such a comforting smell to me to the point where i but candles specifically for the reason that they smell like this coaster. i feel like san is also a very comforting presence; big and cuddly and i know he smells good

song mingi - nemesis reborn

EMO COASTER FOR MY FAVOURITE EMO BOY!!!!! the colour palette is so mingi, the aggression of this coaster is so mingi (on stage… he’s a big softy off stage), everything about her is so mingi

she’s such an iconic coaster and so hugely loved by the public. on the day she reopened after her year long hiatus there was a 6 hour wait to ride her! she deserves it too! she’s so beautiful

she’s also made specifically for this space in this theme park just like i believe that mingi well and truly belongs in ateez. the area was quarried out and the coaster was planned to fit to the specific space. it’s unique, just like mingi!!

jung wooyoung - spinball whizzer

this is spinball whizzer and it’s a spinning coaster that’s marketed as a children’s ride but it will aggressively break every bone in your body before calmly chucking you off at the station…

it’s another one that makes me smile and giggle when i’m on it and it’s so energetic and there’s always so much going on and i just think that that’s wooyoung

it feels very much like an old friend and the park wouldn’t feel the same without it. it brings so much to the park and i adore it

choi jongho - the smiler

this is the smiler and it is the most rollercoaster rollercoaster to ever rollercoaster which i feel like is a very jongho thing...

it has the most inversions of any coaster in the world, it’s fast, it has so much airtime. essentially everything you want in a coaster, the smiler has… just like jongho seems to be good at everything he ever does!!!

it’s one of the most creative coasters in the world in my opinion and everything it does it does with its whole head and soul. it’s popular and it deserves to be!!!

YOU BELONG TO THE SMILER

This design is inspired by @retr0scum and their delicious art that I wanna eat

I should be studying for gcse mocks but this is more important in my personal opinion

Also here’s an extra doodle

Joy rose and aragorn

And since I ride horses I decided to draw joy rose riding

[haine-kleine]

and now for something different: another thought piece on the ending.

if you really think about it, the setups for the villains by itself weren't bad, what made the ending bad was so random abandonment of those setups.

I'd go as far as saying the villains got the better end of the deal, writing wise. unlike the heroes, who had to be reduced to ooc or had their screen time almost completely cut to make the contradicting ending flow fast without stumbling against the actual characters, the League were in character until the very end, and then they just disappeared from the story. just compare Shouto barely appearing and for the most part just Standing There to Touya being allowed to stay bitter and express that to his family, telling Enji off and then growing enough to apologize to Shouto. compare Ochako's stepford smiler complex blowing up in her face, and her breakdown about Toga being glossed over, shifting the focus to the class shenanigans, showing her perfectly happy and smiling in every single appearance from then on to Spinner's rightful rage and grief over Shigaraki's death, calling Deku a murderer and never coming to forgive him or move on from what was done to him, to all of them.

the villains are allowed consistency that the heroes aren't. because to make the ending happen so quickly and for the ending's events to make sense, the characters need to be reshaped and mutate into completely different ones, or to disappear from the radar completely.

and yeah, it sucks that we are left to decode and finish the threads of the story Horikoshi had left for us on our own, but at least the wiggle room and a wide door of possibilities was left open for the villains. the heroes' conclusions were strictly established and pretending that this ending doesn't belong to a completely different story seems like a worse option.

say, Deku has been pushed along the way by the narrative to save Shigaraki for almost the entirety of the manga. it's not even his failure that breaks the story in half, it's him and every other character save for Spinner acting like they are fine with it. Izuku's acceptance of this outcome for Shigaraki before he is even gone reshapes him into a completely different character, one who was fine with passing Eri by and not organizing a whole operation to save the little girl who was set up as Shigaraki's foil.

Shigaraki however, remains a whole character true to himself. his goals of making his voice heard and saving his friends are unchanged. he didn't change his mind and remained committed to these goals, and even if he wasn't allowed to do that on-screen, that's what our literacy analysis and imagination are for. one thing he and Deku did successfully achieve was breaking him free of AFO's vice grip on his life, and for the rest, he has Kurogiri and the League. who are conveniently missing throughout the final chapter.

Spinner was suffering in the end because of Shigaraki and his other friends' loss. Toga had committed a heroic act and then was left by the heroes to die. Dabi was reunited with his family and despite getting everything he ever dreamed of from them, he is miserable and crying in the end. Mr Compress was imprisoned after sacrificing himself to save the League, similarly to how Kurogiri was. Kurogiri was freed by the League. his consciousness was damaged but he pulled himself together for the singular goal of saving Tomura, because his friends are waiting for him, because he was supposed to save these people and become their hero.

he was even given a tool to do that, a combination of OFA and Overhaul quirks. the boy who had killed his family by accident, with a five fingers touch, brainwashed to think he did that to punish them for rejecting him. that boy being freed from the man who has been grooming and manipulating him since he was 5, having the freedom to make his own decisions and saving the people he had welcomed into his life with that same five fingers touch. becoming the League of Villains' saviour.

“You now belong to the smiler~”

Bet 😁. Here’s my take of the smiler coaster as a human trend (because I’m simping)

[nepalfmr]
