#you're gonna goddamn revive yourself

[time-traveling-reaper]

“reviving myself”

-not depressing -powerful (you can bring yourself back to life?) -reviving = do over? -dramatic reaction that evokes confusion and emotion

They should invent a phrase as incredibly evocative as "killing myself" that isnt about killing yourself

[sapphicdib]

Actually just sending an ask:

How many hours of rain world have you played?

This many!

Also because I feel like it I'm gonna explain how I do my Hunter runs so some tips n general shit below the cut :3

(just to preface this: even though I call these "score/points runs" I dont actually use the "official" score run rules, so I can't help you if you actually wanna be able to submit these to like a leaderboard or smth. I use karma caching and vanilla exploits and stuff, mainly bc im just doing this to have fun)

Okay so the initial setup is:

Get a king vulture mask on the first cycle. This makes it so if you die, you just restart and don't have to re-do a ton of stuff. Use the vulture grub in LF_A04 and fight them in that long room to the left of it.

You can feel the difference between a regular vulture mask and a king vulture mask. Getting a king vulture mask specifically is crucial.

Taming the blue lizard that spawns in LF_D03 with a noodlefly or centipede is pretty easy, although those motherfuckers are SO GODDAMN STUPID it might take you a minute to actually get them to cooperate. Or not die.

Den with your new friend in LF_S02. This is my base of operations until I actually...start playing the game lol. I use vanilla exploits and karma cache/starve cycle (whatever u wanna call it) until I have the survivor, the friend, the martyr, and the saint passages.

Next, I go and get the echos in subterranean and farm arrays, letting myself get teleported back to LF_S02 each time.

After that, I go up to sky islands and den in SI_S04, and the next cycle I get the sky islands echo.

This is where the run actually starts lol. Some tips I have are:

Rush Pebbles. Start working up to getting the monk passage by eating the poppycorn in sky islands, eating pebbles' neurons when you get to the top of the wall, eating the poppycorn at the top of chimney, etc and so forth. Getting the monk passage is WAAAAY harder than the hunter so I always go for it first.

Don't get the chimney echo the first time you pass it. When you're back down from Pebbles, go down to CC_C13 and grab the vulture grub, then go back up to CC_C09 and cheese vulture kills by summoning them and killing them while they're passed out. This also helps if you somehow lost your mask along your journey.

Let yourself kill scavengers. They're 6 points each and take only one or two hits to kill. You can always repair your rep in the later cycles of the game, it actually doesn't take as many cycles as you think.

Technically reviving Moon is sub-optimal, since it only gives you 100 extra points. I don't care I will never not revive her <3. However if you do actually wanna get like, the highest score possible, skip this. Shoreline is ass for spawns and you don't get many kills.

For me, once I'm done reviving Moon, I like hanging around Industrial, Pipeyard, Outskirts, and Farm Arrays to just start killing tons of shit. There are plenty of green and caramel lizards, which each give you 10 and 11 points respectively, and cyans are also everywhere. Just be careful in outskirts bc the red lizards there are free-roaming, unlike industrial where it cant get out of that one room.

My personal route to getting the wanderer is: Farm Arrays -> Sky Islands -> Skip Chimney go straight to The Exterior -> Five Pebbles -> Chimney Canopy (den near the echo) -> Industrial -> Shaded -> Shoreline -> Garbage Wastes -> Industrial -> Pipeyard -> Industrial -> Outskirts -> Drainage -> Subterranean. You will likely get the nomad easily doing this, I usually get it going from Farm Arrays to Pebbles.

BE BRAVE!! You have to kill in order to get points, after all! A death is only -3 points. Even if it's frustrating, you can easily make that up by killing a squidcada or whatever. Sometimes you gotta run headfirst at that vulture, man. You'll be surprised how strong Hunter actually is.

That's my advice, other than play the game obsessively for 700 hours LMAO. At this point I have hunter's spawns memorized so I know where to go to find stuff to kill. It also doesn't help that I have chronic lilypad hunterbrain so.........yeah!

Of things extra: Once Upon a Witchlight Ep. 28 | Duel of the Honks

Episode | Masterlist

.

! Fair warning, this post contains SPOILERS. If you don't want to be spoiled, STOP READING !

.

(Kremy): Why don't you guys like, rumble outside and, you know, have like fisticufs.

(Gideon): Well if I fisticuffs with 'im, he's gonna die.

[Chuckles]: You know what's funny, Gideon...

He blows air into his thumbs like inflating balloons, making them huge and raises them in front of him in ready position

[Chuckles]: That's exactly what a bitch would say!

Gi, angered: Alright, that's enough! I didn't wanna do it, I was gonna spare Grickos life when you're rindin' inside of his body but I'm done! When you're outside, I'll bury you in the swamp, you damn clown!

As Chuckles cartwheels his way out of the room, his Sticky Sneakers squeaking each time they make contact with the floor, Gideon absolutely furious runs out after him, chasing the sound of constant laughter and squeaks

(Torbek), panicked: Oh no, Mr. Kremy do something!

(Kremy): Ribble, I need you to get outa here and supervise, make sure nobody dies!

T: Ohhh, okay!

Torbek chases after them

.

Gideon POV

A mangrove tree stands in the middle of a patch of heavily churned mud, where rusting and rotting bits of armor and weapons are scattered. Two lengths of chain are anchored to opposite sides of the tree trunk, each with an iron shackle on the end.

But you are not prisoners. You have no need for those shackles.

Yet.

As you find yourself in the middle of this circular Proving Ground, there are rusted pieces of armor all over. Looking at this Gideon, you can say it would be useless in a fight, should you need it.

As you and Chuckles stand face to face, for the first time in life and death, able to truly fight.

Torbek runs out after you

(Torbek): Mundlemud! No, no! Gideon, please! This is important! DON'T hurt him!

(Gideon): Did you hear what he said to me?! He called me a bitch!

(Torbek): Ribble heard him, he tried to pretend he didn't, but this is serious! It's still Gricko!

(Gideon), conflicted: I- Listen. I'll just hit him so hard he just dies- kinda, and then we'll revive him!

(Torbek): Ughhh, just- Just think this throughh! Gideon can be a bigger person!

(Gideon): I'm literally bigger than him, I dunno what you're trying to do- I'll slap him so hard that Chuckles' gonna come right off his goddamn stupid clown face!!

Torbek lets out various sounds of distress while he's saying all of this

(Gideon): Forehand, backhand, doesn't matter! I'm gonna break Gricko one way or another, and he's coming back in next 12 seconds cause that's how many rounds it's gonna take!

.

(Gideon) vs [Chuckles]

(This fight doesn't use fight stats. Players roll initiative and on their turn they describe what their character is doing, which can be anything as long as it's in-character and in-universe plausible. Wherever the move hits decides d20 contest - the result is in favour of person with higher number)

.

You square up.

Torbek- Ribble, at Kremy's discretion, is guarding his friends, unsure what to do at this moment, as you two stand opposite each other in this circular arena.

Gideon, you stare down at Chuckles' body. The body of this desiccated dead clown thing. You know that somewhere in there is Gricko, but at this moment all you can see is Chuckles.

Chuckles, you stare at your arch-nemesis, Gideon. This is the man that punched you so hard in the body that you went to hell. And there really is no wine in hell

[Chuckles]: I'll never forget that fight...

He says this as starts to cartwheel in figure eights. As he stops and rights himself, his legs blow up like a cowboy, as he slowly advances towards Gideon, his sneakers squeaking with each step. On his hip appears a toy ray gun, as out of nowhere clouds transform into clown horns, playing western tune. He grabs the handle with his giant hand

[Chuckles]: Okay Gideon, how is it going to end?!

Gideon squares off, walking up so they're face to face, as the fire on his body to start rising up, lighting him up.

(Gideon): Oh, it's getting hot in here.

.

You're so excited to finally take down Chuckles, hopefully the final time. But Chuckles surprises you, as he pulls out a ray gun. Gun? What's a gun in Avantris? You’re flabbergasted. He has the fastest finger in the West. He points it, whatever it is, at you.

[Chuckles]: Hey, Gideon.

(Gideon): Yeah?

[Chuckles]: I was walking, from the carnival to the farm, and out of the bush... three pigs jumped me and devoured my flesh.

(Gideon), amused: *chuckles* That's a pretty good story so far, keep going.

[Chuckles]: IT WAS A HAM-BUSH!!!

Chuckles yells, as he puts his finger on the trigger.

.

As Kremy walks up to the arena, he's followed by about 50 bullywugs, all of them clearly members of the soggy court, as they begin to fill the stands. You see that it caught the attention of people that worked here too, and within 10-15 minutes, the stadium is filled.

Ribble, you have been outfitted with a referee uniform. You've got a whistle hanging around your neck, you've got a cap on and you're wearing a striped shirt.

You're not quite sure what you're supposed to do with this, what your expectations are, but you seem to be now in some sort of position of power.

Kremy is gifted a magical conch shell, that when spoken amplifies voice, as he tells the crowd that the event is about to start and somehow Gideon and Chuckles haven't destroyed each other yet.

They're just staring at each other, squaring off, getting ready to engage in combat.

(Gideon): *laughs* Ambush, great! Great joke, for 15 minutes I've been laughing!

Everyone has begun to settle down, the bullywugs had their hot dogs, and their peanuts, and their drinks. Everybody's excited and a hush begins to fall over the crowd, as people begin to chatter.

You all are huddled together in the middle, Kremy getting close enough to the rest so he can have a quick chat with them

(Kremy): All right, what's going on?

(Torbek): Ughh... It's pretty bad, it's pretty bad, Augluth. I'm really worried Gideon's gonna kill Gricko accidentally!

(Kremy): Well here's the thing, you've got to make sure that he beats him up until it looks like Chuckles dies, you understand? That's your job.

(Torbek), unsure: Ngh, okay...

(Kremy): Okay?

(Torbek): No, but here we go!

(Kremy), talking to the conchshell: Froggy and toad people! Are you ready to see a bloodbath?!

The audience cheers.

(Kremy): Are you ready to see something you ain't never seen before!?

The cheers louden.

(Kremy): Do you all count as witnesses, if so cheer!

After brief confusion crowd cheers, agreeing to be witnesses.

(Kremy): That's legally binding! And, begin!

Torbek blows the whistle as soon as he hears "begin".

.

[Chuckles]: We've been standing here for three hours...

(Gideon): Yeah, he's been pointing this thing for... for forever!

The thing looks like a gun, it looks clown-circus-like but it has a dark nature to it.

As blast goes out, Gideon is easily able to step aside from it (miss)

[Chuckles]: Oh, that was my 9th level spell!

As the blast hits the stairs next to the audience, it carves a straight hole through the stairs.

Watching this, Kremy and Torbek are able to hear from the audience

"Who even is fighting? They never announced who this was, how do we know who's dying?"

As the blast hits random bullywug walking down the stairs, killing him instantly, Chuckles looks at the gun with elated shock.

[Chuckles]: Man, this Shadowfell stuff is pretty intense!

(Kremy) to (Torbek): Hey, do you remember Gideons, like, "fake name"?

(Torbek): Yeah, it's, um, Mundlemud.

(Kremy): Why don't you introduce him?

Kremy throws the shell to Torbek. As he catches it, a screeching sound starts to emanate from it.

(Torbek): Sorry, Ribble got too close to the conch.

The audience is covering their ears.

(Torbek): How do you turn this thing off...

Audience starts to yell for him to shut up each time he tries to talk again and after a unsuccessful few tries he gives it back to Kremy.

Someone from the audience yells "Get your vuvuzelas!", as Chuckles points his gun at them and shoots them to death.

[Chuckles]: Oh, I'm out of turns, sorry. *looks down at the gun, pouting* Oh, it was my last use...

He says, as he throws the gun behind him. When it hits the ground faint wails are audible

.

As he dodges the blast, he charges at Chuckles, trying to wrap him with his chains. (hit)

He swirls his chain around Chuckles, binding him with his hands crossed around his head

[Chuckles]: We haven't even established our safe word!

(Gideon): Safeword for you, you greasy clown!

[Chuckles]: Banaña! Banaña! Bana-!

As Gideon pulls Chuckles towards himself, Chuckles spins directly into Gideon, as Gideon's fist sinks into Chuckles' his face, as it starts to stretch and warp under it like a water filled balloon. It seems to do a significant ammount of damage.

After being hit, Chuckles head spins around for a long while and when it stops he throws up bunch of colorful circus peanuts at Gideons face

(Gideon), disgusted: Oh, my least favourite bodily activity, ugh!

[Chuckles]: Oh, what a wonderful day for a blood bath...! Oh, Gideon! What's your favourite animal?

(Gideon): It's a pig man, I've told you like four times. You've asked me every time you took over Gricko's body, it's a pig.

[Chuckles]: Ohh... Okay, coming right up!

He blows into his thumb, trying to turn into several balloon pigs, but the chains around him are hot and melt and pop them. His face starts to melt a little.

[Chuckles]: Oh no, my plastic flesh is burning! My rubber!

He grabs his hat and pulls down onto his face, covering his entire head. When he pulls it back up his face is back to normal.

[Chuckles]: Oh, that's much better. And less graphic for the audience. I know there are some tadpoles in the audience, we have to keep it PG.

From the audience there is loud "Pretzels! Unsalted pretzels, with avocado-based mayo! Only 23 gold pieces!" from a vendor

[Chuckles]: Oh, hold on one second Gideon-

He shots the vendor dead

[Chuckles]: Okay, that was the last charge. Fuck that guy, right?

(Gideon), whining: I kinda wanted some of those man, I'ma little hungry.

[Chuckles]: Unsalted pretzels?!

(Gideon): I'd eat anything-

[Chuckles]: God, do you hate yourself?

(Gideon): For the last ti- all right, you know what? Shut up!

With his chains still wrapped around Chuckles' waist, he pulls him close to himself and punches him once again. You see his form shift and you can see bits and pieces of Gricko there, somewhere.

(Gideon): Don't worry buddy, I'm gonna beat you right back!

Few of Chuckles' teeth fall out, very Looney Tunes-style

[Chuckles]: Ugh, nice shot Gideon...

(Gideon): I won't let this horrible clown have your body even if I have to bury you!

[Chuckles]: You know what they say, I'm okay getting a little roughed up - to make an omlet you gotta break a few eggs!

In his raised arms appears a striped colorful barrel with a dark tone and he tries to smash it on Gideons head. As the barrel smashes into the ground next to him, a bunch of red monkeys come out of it. (miss)

As the monkeys hit the ground they sizzle and pop, they are clearly acidic monkeys. They let out some monkey noises and run away, with Gideon hastly jumping out of their way.

"Bloody Maries, get your Bloody Maries with one of those deep fried cheeseburgers! Only 22 gold pie-AUGH AAAH IT HURTS! AGH IT HU-! *angry monkey noises*

Stairs are littered with vendor bodies, as another one comes truffling down.

[Chuckles]: What are you waiting for, Gideon? What we'll do will echo through *HONK*ternity

His teeth are missing, blood is coming out of his eyes.

Gideon whips his chain up, sending Chuckles in the air, as he jumps up after him and grapples him

As Chuckles is sent into the air he pulls out a Simon Says sigh saying "uh oh"

As Gideon pile drives Chuckles into the earth, Chuckles' time stops for a moment. His eyes go wide as his pupils get smaller and red

[Chuckles], in his mind ala anime fight throughs: That's right Gideon, enterain them! My clown ancestors are smiling at me Gideon, can you say the same-?!

CRASH

As he's saying it, you can see Chuckles fading away. You now have Grickos body in your hands, but you realize it second too late. You can hear all of his bones snap.

(Gideon): Don't worry buddy, I'm gonna bring you back-!

Torek blows his whistle, notating the end of the battle and win for Gideon.

Gricko lays in a small crater in the ground, Family Guy-style.

.

The audience goes crazy. Everybody is cheering and screaming, you can hear "Long live Mundlemud!" "Mundlemud for the win!" "Mundlemug has a clean slate!" all around

(Kremy): That's right folks, the clown's dead and he disintegrated immediately! Leaving a goblin he must've eaten earlier or something... Anyway, thanks for coming!

"Does anyone want a full cooked chicken piccata? On a dinner plate...? Chicken piccata! Hey, hot and fresh chicken piccata, who wants some?!"

One of the bullywugs stands up and yells "Shut up, we're listening!", as he stabs the vendor in the back.

"AAGH- Agh, lemonade capers..."

You can hear bits of conversation, as bullywugs, no longer interested now that the fight is over, all begin to make their way towards the castle to prepare for other nights endeavors.

[timegears-moved]

hellooooo, totk rant anon here again! i'm not feeling so good right now so words hard, but i can't just not send in an ask when you've gotten to the terrako credits/true end and the dlc, both of which i love dearly!

fun dub fact: depending on which language you're listening to the terrako revival cutscene in, revali either chuckles at terrako's antics OR sighs in relief. honestly not sure which one i prefer because both options are really sweet?? good revali moment either way!

and yeah!! revali's part in the credits is still incredibly cute!! though i also love the champion's ballad reference at the end. it's got to be a reference because the characters' positions match the final champion's ballad cutscene almost perfectly. (except for all the other characters being there, of course. special shoutout to rudania climbing all over hyrule castle and no one doing anything about it. they're gonna wake ganondorf up 100 years early if they're not careful.)

and now... the dlc. it's got quite possibly The best revali content in the game (the ultimate proof that he's good with kids! and he glances at teba right before he starts laughing too so it seems like he might have caught on to the fact that teba was worried about tulin making a good impression with him and did it on purpose to lighten the mood...) but having played that prior to totk's release definitely made my disappointment about revali not being referenced at all worse. there was so much buildup in that one cutscene for tulin's role in totk ('someday i'll master the great eagle bow', 'it won't be long before you're master of the wind just like me', etc.) that it definitely felt like totk dropped the ball there in particular.

anyway, on a more positive note, there's actually a compilation on youtube of all dubs of that cutscene if you are interested in that! (or if you just want to hear teba awkwardly try to pretend he's coughing and not laughing and/or revali & company laughing their heads off in 6 different languages.)

aaaaaa i hope you feel better soon anon <333 take care of yourself!!

OH MY GOD??????? i just tried listening to the japanese version and it's a little hard to tell with the others laughing but i think???? i can hear it???????? you're right though regardless it's very sweet either way. revali being secretly nice is gonna fucking kill me.

and yeah when i was watching it i saw how the positions perfectly matched the picture from the champion's ballad perfectly!!! also what the fuck rudania hasn't hyrule castle been through enough recently jahdghdwohwhd

part of me wants to say that the reason revali is so soft on terrako is because he views it as a little kid. honestly shout out to aoc for making "revali has a huge soft spot for kids" canon because i saw it being tossed around in fanon a few times before aoc came out so to see it fully realized is kinda insane. also i noticed that he glances over at teba right after tulin thanks him and it comes across like a nervous glance?? like he's not used to the praise?????? and god i knooooow totk was such a huge disappointment in this regard. not mentioning him was already bad enough but retconning his legacy to be about a sage who you would literally have to hold me at gunpoint to force me to care about is actually horrific to me.

watching it rn!! teba trying to stifle his laugh is so goddamn funny (also i love how that aoc got writing young kids right with how funny and cute tulin is).

[anjo404]

Me and my friends play DND

DM: No stop trying to use Charm, it's literally a fucking tentacle monster. ME: Getting frustrated. WHY CAN'T I USE CHARM IT SAYS I CAN SEDUCE ANYTHING! DM: Because you can't seduce a goddamn tentacle monster! A monster made entirely out of tentacles! Think about it! ME: LET IT FUCK ME GOD DAMMIT DM: No! Absolutely not! ME: IF I WIN I CAN DISTRACT IT WHILE YOU GUYS GET AWAY AND IF I LOSE THE NECROMANCER CAN JUST REVIVE ME AND I CAN TRY AGAIN DAMMIT DM: No, absolutely not! It's just a tentacle monster! What are you gonna do, seduce it with a mating dance? ME: I VERY WELL COULD IF I WANTED TO! DM: I absolutely do not believe you. MY FRIENDS: *Trying to to laugh.* FRIEND 1: Don't encourage them. FRIEND 2: The best part is even if she did have a chance, it definitely wouldn't be a good thing if it worked. DM: Exactly! Do you honestly want to be in the situation where you're having to explain to the rest of the party why you're pregnant with a tentacle monster's baby? ME: Oh shit. ... I'll just get an abortion. DM: …Wow, you're even more irresponsible than I thought. FRIEND 1 and FRIEND 3 burst out laughing at that one, FRIEND 2 is giggling. The DM groans and rubs his temple. DM: I guess this is the level of responsibility expected of someone who thinks you can seduce tentacles. FRIEND 2: You should let them roll for it out of sheer curiosity. FRIEND 1: Agreed, I wanna see if she actually has a chance. DM: Oh god, fine. Go ahead and roll a [Charisma] check. ME: Angel: Great. Rolls a dice and gets a good number. Okay now what? DM: …You rolled an 18. You somehow managed to seduce the tentacle monster with your mating dance. Congratulations. ME: Pumps my fist in the air. Sweet! DM: It's not sweet! Now you have to explain to the rest of the party how you got yourself impregnated by a tentacle monster. ME: Jokes on you my character can't get pregnant so suck on that. DM: You're going to be the reason the DM has to add "tentacle impregnation immunity" to the racial traits of goblins now. ME: Grins. I'm glad I can affect an entire species just by being a whore. FRIEND 3: Still giggling a bit. You know I kinda admire their courage now. Not many people would have the guts to roll for something like that and then stand by their word. FRIEND 2: Bursting out laughing. FRIEND 1: She really does have a talent for making me question my own sanity.

[gildead]

so i know i said i would never address the events surrounding [REDACTED] on this blog. and i still won't. i want to make something clear though, because of the chatter regarding villain muses.

team rocket, logistically speaking, probably had nothing to do with gold's death. i'll explain my reasoning under the cut.

imagine, if you will, that you are giovanni. while you once were the most powerful man in kanto, what with being the strongest gym leader AND the head honcho of team rocket, you have fallen from grace because your criminal dealings have come to light thanks to a smartass kid. you're a smart man, however. you lay low, leave the region for a while. even when your admins try to hold up a radio tower to call you back, you hang back - partially because you're ashamed of yourself, but also because they got THEIR asses beaten by a second smartass kid and frankly it's embarrassing it's happened twice.

now, suppose. you're licking your wounds in unova, having a drink at your favorite hole-in-the-wall. the news flickers on. a horrified reporter reads that the mutilated body of a young child has been found in the johto region.

they put up a picture of the boy. you recognize him. he's the one from the radio tower. the one who stopped your team's revival.

now. pay close attention because this part is crucial. who do you think they're going to start investigating first.

because that's not just a normal boy. that's the boy who beat red, the first smartass kid, on mount silver. the boy who earned sixteen badges and the respect of two pokémon leagues, which house in no particular order: a war veteran, two different ninjas, multiple strongmen, a powerful psychic, BLUE MOTHERFUCKING OAK, and two highly powerful dragon trainers from a long line of dragon trainers.

one of which who helped this boy strongarm his way into your base and is THE FORMER CHAMPION.

SERIOUSLY, YOU THINK THE INTERNATIONAL POLICE IS BAD? HAVE YOU SEEN LANCE AND HIS FIFTY MILLION DRAGONITE? THE MAN BLASTED A HOLE INTO YOUR BASE'S ENTRY, AND THAT'S JUST WHEN YOUR ORGANIZATION WAS ABUSING AND TRAFFICKING POKEMON. WHAT DO YOU THINK HE'S GONNA DO TO A GODDAMN CHILD MURDERER, HUH. SPOILER ALERT, IT WILL BE MUCH WORSE.

ahem.

you get what i'm saying though? ordering the violent murder of the kid who beat you the second time around in such a gratuitous manner is a bad move for the guy trying to stay away from the public spotlight, especially after his organization got exposed TWICE. and especially when nothing's been done to red. it's inconsistent, and i'm pretty sure gio HAS some kind of ethical code. even if it's a criminal one.

also gold was friends with his son so was he REALLY that bad a kid?

'but vetra, the executives-' up the shut. doggedly loyal to giovanni as they may be, they are not stupid. archer literally took the L with grace upon getting his butt whooped.

if it was a murder, team rocket would probably have a VESTED INTEREST in bringing said murderer to justice. granted, it's team rocket, so it's probably fucked up mob justice. but that's what happens when you encroach on their turf i guess.

VANOSSGAMING

These guys are really bad at parkour.

Oh, jumpscare, so scary!

He’ll do anything for candy.

Why are we buying pants?

I feel like I’m just hanging out with you guys in a random basement.

Where did this guy come from?

That sounds awesome.

Does that mean go, that means go, right?

You know what this is, a perfect opportunity to order food.

What did you do?

Sorry, I should’ve healed earlier.

I wish you died…

I discovered that eight hours ago.

You’re a poet, and you’re not aware.

Someone describe what the hell is going on.

I didn’t say I wasn’t enjoying myself, I just said it was really cool.

Yes, my hero!

He was actually still alive.

What is this, some kind of sick cult?

I'm not even hungry, I just want to make sure I have something for a victory munch.

SMII7Y

Don't go for him, he's dangerous!

I'm hiding in the goddamn bathroom.

And we both accomplished something today.

He's just way better.

How is he not dead?

I did not do that, I just want to clarify, I did not do that.

That’s for killing me, you fuck.

Oh, wow, alright.

What’s it doing, it’s so shit.

It did nothing for me.

BASICALLYIDOWRK

I’m ready to go where you guys are.

You guys ready for this adventure?

I told you not to do that.

Why does he want me?

I didn't take anything, swear to God.

I think he's gonna run the same deck.

I hate that so much.

I'm betting on the demon, and I don't know what it is yet, bitch!

We're not very good…vampires.

Oh my God, come here.

BLARG

No it wasn't, you're lying to yourself.

I'm gonna throw up to the sound of you playing harmonica!

You're not worth it.

Do I look like I bought the lobster?

Someone distract him.

I hate when dad drinks.

You guys look like a shitty high school play.

You know you’re wearing a lobster suit, right?

Sorry guys, my car alarms going off.

I'm all bricked up with nowhere to go.

WILDCAT

My teams really letting me down here.

You fucking rat!

He’s digging straight down.

I don’t think he’s working on it.

I almost fell.

I would’ve found it within seconds.

Not even fifteen minutes of footage, and he’s the one who died.

We should go on an adventure together.

Whoever shot him, thank you, you're doing the Lord's work.

What in the holy fuck am I getting into?

GRIZZY

What happened, I'm coming back.

We're also missing a door.

I'm gonna drink my problems away.

I wish my screen wasn't so fucking blurry.

Bro, what the fuck is going on here?

Can I have the hat?

Don't shoot him, just tie him.

This is all your fault!

That's not good.

Oh, that's probably what I was doing.

NOGLA

Does anyone want to hear about my tooth?

Don’t take your mask off!

Can we just agree that no one gives a fuck about the story.

You ain’t going to see me in person, you ain’t never going to see me in person, you never leave your house.

That gave me a migraine, am I dead?

I made my friend rage quit.

We did, that was the first switch we hit.

He’s the guy that haunts the house, didn’t you read the story?

This game is a little too complex for us.

Stop, I don’t know how this game works.

BIGPUFFER

Can this thing even catch up?

What, that killed me?

What the fuck do you mean 'good luck?'

How did you get him?

How the fuck did he live?

It's the same fucking guy, he keeps coming back.

Sorry, I audibly threw up.

Ooh! Don't revive him, it takes you in there!

How do you blow these things up?

Wait, is it in?

MOO

Wise words.

Are you freaking kidding me, holy crap!

Why is that your comeback to everything?

So comfy.

Maybe not punch all my animals.

At least I didn't do that.

Let me get back in this!

Oh, that's unfortunate for me.

Nice little warm up.

You guys don't know all the lore?

KRYOZ

I don't think it really matters, I don't think it was going to do what we needed it to do, anyways.

No, it was so close!

If I turn the wrong way, I'm just fucked.

Is this getting thinner?

Oh yeah, blame it on me not playing.

This is where I catch up.

What the fuck, I'm dead!

I got ahead, and you guys suck.

Help, help, hold my hand!

That's good, that's good, keep it going.

TERRORISER

Oh, that door opened down there!

Yeah, go fuck yourself.

He didn't choose it, but he's happy to keep it.

Did you punch the screen?

Where the fuck am I?

Spit on your hand.

What's this thing in the middle?

I feel like there's more in here and you're not telling us.

What the fuck is chasing me?

It's invisible on my screen!

Fire Lilies

Summary: A flower it's just a flower anywhere in the world, but in the Fire Nation, the smallest gestures can hide bigger meanings. Even for the princess.

Paring: Azula x Ty Lee

A/N: This was originally written in portuguese for the tyzulaweek challenge, and posted on my wattpad account. I tried my best to translate it, so take it easy on me, english it's not my first language 😅

The first memories Azula had around fire lilies came from her early childhood, a time where everything was simpler, when her only concerns involved play with her friends and bully her brother. In that time, Azula was already a terror, a little adorable beast who liked to use the poor plants to train her fire aim, only for the pleasure of watching the immensity of black petals reduced to a pile of ashes. "They deserve it, they're not as pretty as the others." She always thought to herself, but that little act of rebellion didn't last long, Zuko exposed her bad behavior, and Ursa forbade her of keep on destroying the royal garden.

Not that Ursa was capable of stopping her daughter of doing what she likes, but anyway, the flowers did not suffer again in the hands of the princess, and the responsible for that was Ty Lee, by bringing a whole new meaning for the fire lilies in Azula's life.

— You wanna do what in my hair? – Azula was reluctant on letting someone touch her hair, especially the topknot.

— A wreath of flowers! – Ty Lee proclaimed in an adorable enthusiastic sound. — Please Zula, I already asked Mai and she didn't let me. I'm gonna do your hair just like mine, you're going to be so pretty! Well i'm not saying that you aren't already pretty, but…

— Ok! – the princess gave in, fearing that Ty Lee kept on talking all day long. — Just do the goddamn wreath.

Azula sat at the edge of the corridor stairway that connected all the courtyards in the palace, Ty Lee one step above her. With half hundred fire lilies, the little acrobat worked her way through the princess' dark hair, arranging the flowers into a arc to keep bangs away from the eyes and a cascade down a long braid. When finished, Ty Lee was so proud of her job she almost cry out of happiness.

— See? I told you it was going to be gorgeous! – she spoke between leaps, crushing Azula into a hug and giving little kisses across her face.

Azula felt her cheeks burning red and butterflies in the pit of her stomach. Her body used to react like this when she was angry, but she never had those two symptoms at the same time before, and never accompanied by that itch on the left side of her chest. Definitely, it wasn't anger what she was feeling.

— Y-yeah sure, it's not as bad as I thought it would be. – Azula babbled when she saw her reflection through the water of the fountain and stepped away from her friend, desperately trying to get rid of those scary unknown emotions.

But she didn't managed to do it, not that day, nor the days ahead of her. Azula was yet to young to understand that weird feeling close to her heart, to small to know why she always revive it whenever she was close to Ty Lee or fire lilies. But eventually she learned to disguise, to ignore the cold in her belly and sent away the redness of her face, though it was really difficult to pretend her heart wasn't beating like crazy when her friend was close with flowers on hands or asked to touch her hair.

Years later, when Azula was in her early teenage years, her father entrusted her with the biggest mission of her life, and the princess knew very well she could only count on two people to help her. All she had to do was ask, the authority of her title would do the rest, as it was the case with Mai in Omashu, but she didn't want the things to be like that with Ty Lee too. After spending such a long time away from her friend, Azula needed to know if the fire lilies had on Ty Lee the same effect they had on her.

— What an exquisite performance. – Azula said when she entered dressing room after the show, placing the bouquet of black flowers on the table. — I can't wait to see how you'll top yourself tomorrow.

Azula faced the acrobat through the mirror, trying to study her reaction, but apparently, the princess' ability of reading other people's emotions was useless on Ty Lee, 'cause she ended up losing herself in other details. There was no deny that her friend was beautiful, the brown hair and that pair of gray eyes might not be such a big deal in other countries, but in the Fire Nation, it turned her beauty in something rather rare. A woman like that, in the non humble Azula's opinion, should be on a palace surrounded by servents tending to her needs, not in a filth circus at the ends of the world.

— I'm sorry Azula, but unfortunately it won't be a show tomorrow. – Ty Lee responded, awakening the princess out of her trance.

— Really? – the surprise was genuine, but Azula tried hard to pretend otherwise. Not even the conquering of Ba Sing Se could make her so happy as the realization that Ty Lee somehow corresponded those weird feelings.

— Yes, I wanna join you in your mission.

The next time Azula was close to Ty Lee and fire lilies at the same time, the circumstances weren't the best ones. The war was over and lost, her throne usurped by her brother, her facilities were a room that could easily be taking by a cell. Her only company was Zuko – when his duties as Fire Lord allowd him to remember he had a sister – the psychiatric hospital team, and of course, her little acrobat.

Sometimes, Azula was still tempted to hit Ty Lee with lightning as a punishment for her betrayal, but when she stop to think clearly, she comes to realize that she can't have the luxury of cutting from her life the few people that remain.

— Happy birthday, Zula. – Ty Lee wished during one of her weekly visits, handing to the princess a single fire lily through the bars. — I would've bring an entire bouquet, but the doctors didn't allow.

Azula held the freshly harvested flower, breathing the smell that brought back the memories from a childhood that seems to have been lived ages ago. She felt like crying, wishing to be a kid again. If she could go back time, she would've been nicer to Ty Lee, and wouldn't pretend she didn't like when her friend adorned her hair with a wreath of flowers.

— Thank you, Ty. – she said, holding against her chest the flower she would keep until the petals turnes to dust. — Come closer, I wanna tell you a secret.

There was no secret, not anymore at least. There were no expectations to be met nor goals to achieve, only a birth title that no longer stands for anything. There was nothing to hide, and as ironic as it could sound, it was behind those bars that Azula was finally free to do what she spend years wanting to do.

When Ty Lee approached her painted face with the Kyoshi Warriors colors, Azula did not pity to ruin the perfect makeup by sealing their lips with a kiss. Ty Lee frozed for a second, but she soon find out there was no escaping from what she too desired and kissed the princess back until she lost her breath.

— When I leave this place… – Azula said with a determined expression. — I will kiss you every single day of my life.
