#...or to be fully rebuilt tbh

[zylphiacrowley]

People who have played new MonHun... please, tell me how fares my beloved hunting horn?

[tenaciousarbiterpoetry]

Freaking out about the Skeletour show in Glasgow

Peacefield is a Banger

I got so excited that they were playing Majesty that I didn't immediately notice he was FUCKING FLYING. My sister was like omg flying and I was like omg Majesty and then we were both like OMG HIS MAJESTY!!!! I had joked before about him flying with the sparkly wings (which didn't make an appearance) and then he was doing a fucking defying gravity!!!!!

The new stage is phenomenal, it just keeps getting BIGGER. first the curtain with giant rips in then the new stage with stone plinths for the ghouls and lights everywhere including under the drum riser. Then the stony walls fell down to reveal the usual stained glass windows and then the stone archways fell down and nearly took out Mountain. Then it was revealed that it was actually a massive LED screen and the stained glass windows shattered and were rebuilt and shattered again. They mixed the live camera feed with animations and sometimes lyrics on the screen it was epic!

Phantom did crowd work (into pinnacle I think) as he was having a lot of fun getting us to cheer for him and clap along to the right beat.

I started noticing the double kick drum during Ritual and after. I don't know enough about drums to say what was different it just was more idk (I can't remember when he talked about having that on the new album, maybe I'm just having the hallucinations he said we would have during Spirit)

The costumes are gorgeous!!! The sparkles really work, especially on the camera feed. I adore the skeleton cassock with the spine down the back, I wanted him to sing the whole song facing upstage so I could see it properly!!! The cornette/mitre hat started to slip sideways mid song and he did a sneaky little reach with his hand the feel what was up then left the stage between songs and returned sans hat. Tbh I preferred it a little lopsided but you do you mate. And now we know why the full vestments have such impractical skirts, you don't need to walk gracefully if you are floating above the drum riser.

We were in the gods so we couldn't fully appreciate the GIANT MOVING truss grucifix of moving lights but she's a work of art. We could see the labels in the trucks as we left and they had a whole truck just for floor lights (the under drum riser lights are gorgeous) and they had at least 3 trucks just more for lights. No idea how to pack a giant moving truss of moving lights into a truck but I imagine they have a system. Also at least 3 trucks for set and one just for fascia.

There were several moments of total darkness (well as much as safely would allow) and that was atmospheric and spooky. (Like we were waiting in the night?)

Fucking cowbell ghoul is back for Umbra did not see that coming

Lost my shit when they started playing Umbra I've been waiting fucking months to hear more than the opening bars!! I cannot wait to hear it again properly (it's only 9 days not that I'm counting)

Hearing everyone belting Lachryma, Satanized and The Future is a Foreign Land was something else, and the emotions in The Darkness at the Heart of my Love and He Is !!!!!!!!

Monstrance Clock is back too I didn't see that coming either and I'm so happy!!!! And the little smirk he did when he got to say "conclusively, I give you Monstrance Clock" for the second time in YEARS, knowing we were about to lose our collective shit, was yet another wonder of no mask papa. And we did lose our shit. And the lyrics up on the screens kept us all singing after they left the stage!! I've wanted to experience that moment since I found Ghost and learned they didn't play it anymore, but now we do!!!!

We got sad about it ending and he was like "you can go out and tell everyone about the amazing time that you had. Or at least you can tell everyone about the amazing time that I had"

He really didn't talk that much, though we did get the encore speech. "Do you not know how this works? How this works is we stop playing, and then you leave."

He got his I/we/they/him mixed up which is always funny like "back at the assembly where we, no they, well I suppose I'm part of it now so we, and I thought, no they thought-"

There was a delay letting people in and my theatre brain wants to know what technical issue stopped them opening the house?? Was he stuck in the air?? Was the moving grucifix of moving lights refusing to move?? Did the LED screen decide not today satan ??

He name dropped The Cathouse but didn't know if it was still running and then was like "I know a lot about the past, but I don't know much about the future" and then straight into The Future is a Foreign Land. Musical theatre levels of speech into song and he said "this is a song my dad used to sing to me" and they changed it to 2034 (I had wondered if they were going to change it to 2025 and have a new rhyme but that works)

And I can't remember the transition into Kiss the Go Goat but it was also musical theatre levels of speech into song

My hot take: Who does Kakashi Hatake love the most?

We all remember that heartbreaking moment where Sasuke asked Kakashi:

And Kakashi responded:

This narrows it down to:

Sakumo

Obito

Rin

Minato

Whose grave does he visit the most? Hm, that would be both Obito or Rin's.. followed closely by Sakumo.

Who does he talk about the most? Minato tbh. Always "the Fourth" this, "the Fourth" that. lmao

He mentions Obito but not by name, only calling him his 'best friend' but he quotes him 24/7.

He only brought up Sakumo that time Chiyo mistook him for his dad. This is in no way an indication that Kakashi loves his dad any less, but it's just another notable observation I as the viewer have made.

Even though he loves and misses her, he never brings Rin up at all. This is likely due to guilt for killing her, but you'd think he'd bring up other good things about her, like he does with Obito, but he's radio silent. :(

Whose teachings does he live by the most?

Originally he lived his life with Sakumo’s “mistake” in mind (trying to do the opposite) until Obito tore it down by telling him that no, Sakumo was actually correct! And Kakashi, rule-following Kakashi, had talk-no-jutsu used on him for the first time by Obito 😭 

You could say that because of Obito, he now lives by Sakumo's ideals, but it's clear that he's not living by Sakumo's ideals, but Obito's specifically... Right down to becoming a sensei who's often tardy... kinda like a certain 'dead' best friend... So.. not something he borrowed from Sakumo after all.

He never once talks about any of Rin's ideals, and tbh we don't know much about her. He loved her as a teammate and older sister, but her death was clearly overshadowed by Obito's.

As Hokage, Minato valued mission success, not coldly, but as a leader who understood hard choices. Minato tried to temper Kakashi’s rigidity post-Obito’s "death," but Minato's own philosophy still leaned toward "complete the objective" (e.g., his quick decision-making during war, prioritizing strategic victories). Kakashi idolized him, but Minato never fully shook Kakashi’s belief that missions > people, because Minato himself operated within that system.

Instead, Kakashi constantly references Obito's, "Those who break the rules are scum… but those who abandon their friends are worse than scum," even tho it directly contradicts his earlier belief (based off of Sakumo's tragedy).

Essentially, Kakashi rejected his father’s values (comrades > mission) until Obito redeemed them. Kakashi still lives by Obito’s ideals because he genuinely loves him so much, which was the only reason how Obito no longer being part of his life was able to affect him so much. This all makes Obito by far the most transformative and important figure in his life.

Obito’s impact on Kakashi goes beyond everyone else. While Minato offered guidance, Sakumo’s death toughened him, and Rin’s death solidified Obito’s beliefs in Kakashi’s heart, it was Obito alone who tore apart Kakashi’s worldview and rebuilt it. Kakashi keeps Obito’s memory alive in everything he does, treating his teachings as sacred and passing it to every new generation, visiting his grave very regularly, and constantly honoring him—even after learning about his betrayal.

Kakashi’s quick forgiveness and defense of Obito show that his loyalty is rooted in genuine love, not guilt. Obito’s the only one Kakashi failed, mourned, fought, and very quickly forgave unconditionally (even knowing Obito started the 4th great ninja war and was responsible for so many deaths, including the deaths of Minato and Kushina whom he loved). He forgave him like you would forgive a family member, not like just a friend, because Obito was like the big brother Kakashi never had—someone he couldn’t save, and that bond shaped them both deeply. 

Even after the truth about Obito came out, Kakashi’s love for him didn’t fade—it only somehow ended up making their love for one another stronger, since everything Obito did in his own words was for Kakashi and himself to be able to live in a world where all three (including Rin) were back together again, untouched by death's grip.

Even though Kakashi forms close bonds with Team 7 and Gai in his adult life, his connection with Obito is still by far the most significant. Dude would've let himself be killed after Obito was unmasked had it not been for Naruto saving him from Obito's fire attack last minute. (Hell, not even Obito expected that, since we learn that Obito never intended to kill him!) After the face reveal, Kakashi's eyes looked so dead even though Gai had quickly recovered from the shock of who Tobi was.

Obito is firmly in "the one that got away" category of Kakashi's life. Like, if Obito had stayed an ally, Obito and Kakashi would've been the dynamic, unstoppable duo (<-vid) that the enemies ran from. That's why Kishi couldn't allow Obito to stay an ally.. If Obito had not sided with Madara, he would've been Kakashi's right-hand man, his very best friend whom he did everything with.. Instead, Kakashi had to settle for another comedic bestie, Gai (whom I love as well—but Kakashi and I both know it’s just not the same. That’s why he didn’t consider Gai one of the people he loved—at that time, they weren’t that close yet; they were true rivals).

I truly think there will never be another person that Kakashi will love more than Obito Uchiha. It's no wonder he still wanted Obito to live.. even knowing all the crimes he committed:

Because then, at least, Kakashi would still have his brother—someone he loved deeply—alive, and that would be all that mattered. We all know Kakashi was so ready to help Obito atone every step of the way, like his own personal parole officer, the one Obito could lean on to help keep him in line.

Some say it's crazy to think Obito would've been able to just live freely if he'd survived, but .. uhhh.. Orochimaru??? And redeemed Obito is far safer/more stable than Snake-man. -_- Maybe he'd just need someone to track his every movement.. like Yamato did for Orochimaru. So heck, Hokage Kakashi would've let Obito be his advisor or something probably... llol XD Just to keep him close. c:

Any love interest Kakashi might have in future will pale in comparison to his love for Obito. I really think Kakashi will be an eternal bachelor like Gaara since he's already in his 50s in Boruto & still single.. It really peaked at Obito lol.

TLDR; Obito is Kakashi’s greatest love (even though I ship them so hard, I personally do not think they are in love, but Kakashi loves Obito as a brother) and that love trumps all other loves he's had in his life because in the series, as in most shonen anime, brotherly love is super highly esteemed (eg Itachi/Sasuke for example).

[kanguin]

Apropos of nothing, here's my top 15 anime and whether the story would be improved if you made the main character a trans girl:

1. That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime - You can't transition Rimuru in a way that matters, but honestly if Rimuru did start to ID as a woman over time, that would be cool. Unlikely though considering his human form is the body of Shizu, so a fully fem form would feel pervy to Rimuru.

2. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood - Well it'd certainly make the title funny if you made Edward into Edwina. And it'd make Ed/Winry into yuri. But honestly it'd change very little imho. Though it would be interesting to explore transition in a world where alchemy exists, but just in a different story. Might make for a fascinating post-canon fanfic?

3. Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation - Oh god would it. The story is already focused on exploring identity and already has dysphoria when a god he talks to forces him into his pre-reincarnation body on the astral plane. Making Rudy into a polyamorous trans lesbian would literally be peak and elevate the story so much.

4. Kaguya-sama: Love is War - You know what? Yeah. I can vibe with making Miyuki Shirogane trans. It would add another layer of intrigue to the story AND make it gay. It could even be funny if Kaguya or Chica found out before Shirogane did. Wait. No. It would be hilarious if YU ISHIGAMI found out first, and just, assumed Miyuki was closeted, and not just, clueless. Yes this could add so much entertainment value.

5. Dungeon Meshi - Lord almighty get this autistic furry a choker and some estrogen, stat. I make it no secret how I feel about the Trans Touden Sisters interpretation.

6. Dandadan - Make Okarun and Jiji trans girls and make the main cast a messy polycule and sign me the FUCK up please! It would be so funny and so much fun. I NEED this version of Dandadan. It'd be even funnier considering how much is focused around Ken's junk and him being partially possessed by an old lady.

7. Overlord - NGL I'm not even sure anything would change if you made Momonga into a trans woman. She'd act the exact same, and so would everyone else. Interesting for sure, but fruitless, ultimately.

8. My Dressup Darling - Crack? Crack cocaine? Do you realize how amazing it would be to make this into a story about a gyaru girl pulling a closeted trans girl excitably out of the closet?! This would make this so much cuter than it already is, I think I'd EXPLODE.

9. How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom - It wouldn't change much narratively, but the world could always use more stories with polyamorous trans lesbians as the protagonist.

10. The Faraway Paladin - Wouldn't change much honestly, but it would be cool. Tbh Season 2 Will looks like a stealth/closeted trans girly already.

11. Mob Psycho 100 - Again wouldn't change much but would be fun. Put Mob on estrogen and watch her transform from anxiety autism failboy to anxiety autism failgirl. And then still be the kindest person in any room.

... Okay though, on second thought, getting to see her go ???% on a transphobe would be cool as shit.

12. One Punch Man - another no change case. One Punch Woman. She has boobs now. She probably transitioned in like a day somehow.

13. My Hero Academia - I think putting Midoriya on estrogen would fix the show actually. Maybe also put the writer on estrogen just to be sure. (joke)

14. Kill la Kill - Making Ryuko Matoi a trans girl would actually be really cool, especially with her challenging establishment, with the themes of clothes being a restrictive aspect of society, and with her gay romance with Mako. I've seen so many trans girls on Tumblr with Ryuko's exact shameless, confident personality, I just know it'd be epic.

15. Cautious Hero: The Hero is Overpowered but Overly Cautious - It would change little about how Seiya acts, but realizing she's trans would definitely give Ristarte's bisexual ass a nosebleed. Though Seiya would probably be ultra mega hyper closeted behind numerous mystic barriers, so that'd be fun to explore.

Hey! I'm sending this to you since you seems quite attached to pomme, you'll possibly understand a little what I'll say here ^^ (you are not obligated to respond or anything, you can delete if you want!)

I can't help but feel a litter bitter at the ccs and community being sad, saying goodbye to their eggs, and closing theirs character's arc. I'l very happy for them that they could have closure and a real end, but it's bittersweet when some of the eggs disappeared without having the opportunity to say goodbye... I would have love to have just a little reunion or some closure for the French ccs arc

Also seeing the ccs and viewers regret the eggs, while they had the possibility to see them once more, reunite, and even close with peace this chapter, I feel sad and left out that we didn't got that and that a lot of people acted as if nothing changed before... Now that all the eggs are gone, people talk about the "end of qsmp", but I guess it wasn't that important when it was only the French that were left out :(

I still send a lot of confort for everyone struggling right now, I had this feeling in march when we lost the French admins, and I hope everyone will be fine in the end, and continue to follow all the wonderful streamers we met <3

hey anon ! i would be lying if i said i don’t share some of your feelings that you expressed and tbh there was multiple times when i wanted to rant about this but then it hit me like what’s the point ?

misery won’t feel better if more people are miserable with us, we’re all losing something in this anyway, let’s at least be happy in the community we have because there’s not much else left 🥲

i understand people who kept hoping, who kept following the server because they still wanted to enjoy their favorite characters and their stories. i’m glad that those who got to have a somewhat proper ending were able to have it, even if i wish others could have had the same opportunity.

also i feel like a lot of people kept hope because there was still some things that could be saved and rebuilt on if qstudios decided to get their shit together and fix their wrongs, but it feels more final now. even I who stopped watching since lea first spoke up i still wished that things could get better, even if i would stop being a part of it

and hey let’s look at the bright side, a lot of people are sad now but we got a headstart on grieving 😎 catch up everyone ! /j

one thing I’m hoping for is that even if QSMP was to like fully fully end, people would keep holding Qstudios accountable for their treatment of the admins until they rights their wrongs !

also fuck yeah everyone let’s keep watching the wonderful ccs even if they dont play on the server, not only are they great streamers but also it’s an amazing opportunity to learn languages yippeee

Players like Wirtz will never earn my respect and recognition as a fan. I understand perfectly why he was torn between Bayern, City and Liverpool, he wanted the team to be built exclusively around him, not wanting to adapt. Bayern offered him a contract, but refused, not wanting to be in Musiala's shadow, because no one will move Jamal from the 10 position for Wirtz. And in Liverpool, Slot does not play a real 10, Elliott was included in the deal, because he does not suit Slot. But when Flo comes, he will most likely play with a real 10. Bayern did not go along with Flo's whims and desires, but our fans of LFC and Bayer think that Wirtz rejected Bayern and they are sad, it's funny. It's the same with City. For the same money that would have been spent on one Wirtz, City makes two point reinforcements: they take Tijani Reijnders and Ryan Cherki. Instead of Wirtz, who needs to be integrated from scratch, Pep gets two players who can be adapted to specific tasks. This is not a loud transfer for the sake of hype. This is a transfer for the sake of accuracy. And Wirtz is looking for hothouse conditions for himself. This is not bad, he wants to be an extra, but he will never reach the level of our midfield, which is ready to play in all positions, do any job, outside its comfort zone, spitting on personal statistics for the benefit and victory of the club.

Hold on, this will be long, I can feel it in my bones, sorry 😭

But don't say that!! He could very well become a Liverpool player considering current press, and I don't want you to have negative emotions for him so quickly due to things honestly outside of his control now. Because I don't think it's selfish to want to be considered to be a part of the future for a club. We clearly did it with Mo, as a lot of our transfers either help or compliment his style of play. Like Macca and Szobo both assisting defensively and moving forward for Salah in different ways. There's no way you get Salahs numbers from this season without the squad, at least in some way being molded towards him. I'm not saying it's going to be the exact same for Wirtz, because Mo is still the goat, but it's clear he's going to be a big name for whatever club he goes to. That's why I'm personally frustrated with Trent, the transfer makes no sense because they won't build with him in mind, he's fucking free, there's no risk for them, only him. With Wirtz, there's risk for us to make him become good and we'll clearly work until the end as we have with Nuñez.

But Liverpool literally did this last season and the whole of the Klopp era in regards to buying rather inexpensive players rather than buying large. Why do you think so many fans are saying "FSG has found their wallets"?? Liverpool is an incredibly smart club when it comes to business, even if we are annoyed that they haven't splashed the cash with players previously, they rebuilt our whole midfield last season quietly and effectively. Macca for 35m and you're saying we need to learn from City?? I'd rather not have 115 charges and counting tbh . . .

I trust Slot considering what he's shown us this most recent season and how he's built up from Klopp. Alongside that, Wirtz has clearly put out that he respects the players that he'll be working alongside when he comes here, so I'm not fully buying that he's a little shit. I also will NEVER buy that Liverpool mismanages funds in this day and age when I saw the early 00s Liverpool. This is pure beauty to me honestly 😭

So I'm sorry, I really don't agree and I'm excited for Wirtz, Szoboszlai and Salah to all be on the pitch at the same time real soon. But keep up the faith and keep positive, I don't see us being messed up any time soon.

[infinitejourneysinfiniteworlds]

I post to this thing so sporadically I sometimes wonder why I have it. But honestly, it's nice to just put my thoughts out there again.

I have been reminiscing lately.

I had a LiveJournal back in the day. Yes, I am indeed that old. I still miss those days of writing about my day-to-day life, of putting my thoughts and feelings into... well, what were probably overly flowery words and purple prose (probably still a bit guilty of this, tbh), but it expressed what I was feeling. I miss the community, my friends, some of whom I had met in person. Miss the way we would interact, share our lives, our photos, our art and poetry and fiction and music, the magic and mystery and utter weirdness of our little lives. And oh, our lives were weird. Fantastically, gorgeously, improbably weird.

I think, in retrospect, I always believed in what is currently called reality shifting, in connecting to other timelines, even in fully moving into other timelines. To me, the worlds were... fluid, in a way. Not clearly delineated with human categorizations. No "Here is here, there is there, and there are naturally impenetrable borders between." It was all interconnected, interwoven, a whole that maybe a finite mind could see a small part of. Moving through the possibilities was like diving into a primordial ocean, swimming deeper and deeper until you reached what seemed to be a whole other world, but it was still The Ocean. It was still the whole. Separation was an illusion.

Did I shift back then?

Honestly, I think I did. I think I shifted in a subtle sort of way, aligning with a version of reality that I wanted to live in. And I think I shifted in a more profound sort of way, a more obvious sort of way.

I woke one night in the arms of a lover that had never before been physically present. That was a shift. I firmly believe that. It was fully physical. I could move. I could speak. My body had weight, mass-- hair stubble on my legs, which made me feel embarrassed and self conscious! He too was physical, tangible, though the composition of his body felt different to that of a human, solid but somehow less... physically dense. Which made sense, because he was not fully human.

My mind couldn't quite grasp it, and I wasn't fully grounded, so I slipped back a moment later. I now know I could have returned, could have stayed.

And the glitches. There were so many glitches in my reality. That is another whole post in itself.

I've always struggled with belief, with truly aligning and living within the world I want to live in until that is the world I am living in. That hasn't really changed, but I think I want to change that now.

Recently, in this world, I moved back into the house that was destroyed last year. It's the old house, but it's also new. Everything is new-- the walls, the floors, the plumbing, the wiring, the roof. Everything. But it's still the same house.

Last year, I decided that instead of falling into despair and giving up, I would hold on to the knowledge that my home would be rebuilt for free, and that it would be even better than it had been before.

Oh, I certainly had my moments. I cried ugly tears. I felt numb. I thought about how much I hated my life. But I always came back to that knowledge: the house will be rebuilt for free, and it will be better than it was before.

I held on to that like a lifeline.

And y'all?

That is exactly what happened.

A disaster relief group came in, tore down the house to the studs, and built it back up, using high quality materials. They did not charge us a penny. And it is beautiful.

And as I moved back in earlier this year, something in me renewed as well. I feel myself coming alive in ways I haven't felt for... so, so long. And I feel ready to embrace my new reality-- a reality of my choosing.

Magic is real. I know because I am magic.

[szarkato]

I realise this is an ignorant question, which is why I'm posting it from what I usually use as my test account, but here goes:

Given that Hamas has its weapons and recruitment pool in Gaza, wouldn't Israel be much safer from Hamas if it evacuated as many Gazans as possible into Israel as refugees while the war is still ongoing because it would encourage desertion and quell recruiting?

Like, let's assume, for the sake of argument, that Israel's goverment didn't have genocidal intentions and really planned, after the war is won, to let Palestinians, including Gazans, to have their own state next to Israel, or let them live in Israel as other Arabs - including Arab Palestinians - do, as long as they leave Hamas behind and don't try to form another party/government like it. Given that most Israelis say they don't want to kick the other indiginous population out and just want peace (and it's really not in their best interest to force them to move in with the other Arab nations bc it would only bolster anti-Israel and antisemitic sentiment over there), why not just let the people leave the warzone without making them fully leave their homeland? Establish checkpoints, search their stuff for weapons, then put them somewhere they neither get bombed or gunned nor have access to bombs and guns, but do get access to food and medical care. Cause that's what's supposed to happen after the war anyway, and it's not like Gazans would be any less resentful about it post-defeat then than they would be now. And I realise that there's currently not enough housing for 2mil people, but if Netanyahu can talk of prosperity and luxurious amenities for Gazans post-war once it's all rebuilt better than ever, then surely his budget can fit better amenities and safety than Rafah/Gaza has to offer now during the war, to however many people are willing to take it. Get those human shields away from Hamas by making the densely populated area a bit less densely populated in a sane way, y'know?

I realise I sound snarky - and tbh, that's because I don't buy the "it's not a genocide" line - but I'm sincerely asking if there's some justification I'm missing that doesn't just boil down to "we gotta wait until Gazans deradicalise themselves and start a glorious anti-Hamas revolution before we start respecting their human rights" or "we can't have too many non-Jews in Israel even if they are indigenous even though that's our justification why we should have this land."

[softcells]

also for all the troubles oh ig for once i wasnt all up in here oversharing ill back up. my truck is actually just going down it keeps breaking down and they flushed the engine and the mechanic was like its not even worth saving engine needs to be rebuilt you need to just drive it till it wont drive no more. which has been bumming me tf out BUT while its going to empty out my 'savings' once again in a stroke of grace my gfs moms friend gave us first dibs on her 2008 accord for 3k so if my dad will lend me the other 1.5 i may be able to escape having to take out a loan which i reallllly dont wanna do and have a working car. plan is to winterize my trucks engine and store it take it off insurance etc and put the accord on my parents plan bc they still help me with that for which i am very forutnate and i asked them if even tho ill be the owner this time as they bought my other cash cars for me :P if theyd still insure another for me so i dont get pounded on the price of it and a new bill and my dad was like ye idk i assumed they wanted me fully independent by now but when it broke down the other day and they found out id been chagring gas my mom was like hey like we helped all the kids its not different for you if you are running ur tank so low u break down bc u cant afford gas oyu need to call us. idk in the past theyve held money stuff over my head so TBH struggling and not agruing with them this last year has been better than help and suffering lol but this kinda help where the car is mine and they just help me get it is better bc half the shit with the truck is they own it so i cant do anything with it have to use their mechanic have to pay for registration but got TICKETED bc my dad forgot to file. so them being willing to help but on MY terms for once is like. they probably dont even know like. its better than if they had bought me a brand new car in their own name.

Dr. Scraptrap always seems so fun... got any interesting things to share about that rabbit? :) Whether it's just general headcanons, ideas, or like... anything for your specific version.

<Incorrect-FNaF-Quotes

Here’s the thing about this guy in particular: I thought for sure we were getting Help Wanted 2 DLC with this guy in it. I even had hypothetical ideas where we could be his “lab assistant” (really just a participant in a show for that FallFest carnival or something) and help out with experiments.

But, welp, that didn’t happen for whatever reason. I dunno if Doctor Scraptrap’s completely off the table for being fully realized canonically, but I guess he’s going to get anything else from the fandom itself… for now.

So, in light of all that, I’ll go ahead and revise my own interpretation of him since it’s been three years. Check out this post if you want to see the old (and very first) interpretation before I realized the Salvages being completely rebuilt by Faz Ent. was an option.

—

Doctor Scraptrap Headcanons (2025 Edition)

[warning: there is a bunch of rambling ahead]

Now, to clarify: I’m talking about the main robot Fazbear Entertainment might’ve built here. I’m sure there’s some contradictions between what Fazbear Entertainment wanted out of him as a character and what he ended up becoming.

He was still made to explain away all the weird reports people made after FNAF 6. Why there was a one-armed “rabbit” roaming the alleyways being one of the constant questions.

Due to all of the inside knowledge about Afton the concept artists received, one of them thought it’d be funny to turn him into a mad scientist— Especially after the popularity of the Dreadbear attraction at certain fairs and carnivals.

So, with that rework in mind, they gave him a personality AI similar to the Glamrocks. That way, he could interact with guests and/or certain objects made for the attraction.

The main difference is that they never hooked him up to the Pizzaplex servers— As he was also supposed to travel around like Dreadbear. This became so much of a near miss in the long run that it’s the only thing the Doctor brags about on and off the “stage”.

His personality on stage is pretty much what you’d expect: Arrogant, ominous, yet polite in a condescending way. Also he likely to play Toccata and Fugue even with one bad arm. Would absolutely love to pull a supervillain monologue while the heroic animatronics try to dodge his traps… If anyone gave him the budget or the opportunity, that is.

Now, off stage? Uhh.. Well… He tries to keep up appearances, but the only things that carry over completely are his politeness (though much less condescending) and love of theatrics. He is an absolute wallflower if you try to coax him out to meet certain people.

The reason why—his programmers suspect— is that they forgot to turn off a certain line of code that registers and records negative feedback (especially insults). Which means this guy has the closest robotic equivalent of remembering embarrassing stuff you did at bedtime… Except his AI can trigger that as soon as his performance is done. It can even extend to stuff his ears caught on the sidelines, as they made sure he was as much of a super-genius in terms of figuring out his own data.

And Fazbear’s not going to care enough to have them fix it, so both he and them have to deal with it.

Thankfully, he’s used the intellect he’s been given to battle his fears head on. He messes up a section of Toccata during a sound check? Either he pretends that something startled him or he improvises until he can get back on track. He feels intimidated by some cool-looking folks lining up? Then he’ll drop a little of the condescension and give a geniune compliment when it’s their turn to assist. It may break character a little, in his mind, but that’s much better than not performing at all.

He might actually be the most confident of the Scraptraps I have, tbh. And that’s even counting my FNAF 6 interpretation. (At least Dr. Scraps isn’t afraid to consider any form of Plush Baby as an “assistant” during a test run. William/FNAF 6 Scraptrap would rather die than let anyone else see that he’s talking to a plush doll [that, in his case, he won by a claw machine but that’s not important now].)

You’d think he’d be insulted by the whole “peanut for a head” comparison, and you’d be… half-right. He’s probably more annoyed that no one’s gone any further with that comparison, honestly. Where are the puns?? Where’s the side-by-side with an actual peanut?? Is it just a peanut that matches his physique, or can you make other silly little observations? Give him some material for his melodramatic rambles for the next assistant, already!

(Though, uhh… I would like to advise anyone who actually tries to just.. go easy on him at first. Methinks his on-stage arrogance is seeping into his off-stage self on this topic. He’s someone pretending to be William; he’s not actually the real guy.)

Oh yeah, and on the subject of William: Any lore questions about his “predecessor” gets deflected as soon as it’s asked. Not just because of Fazbear’s policy, but also because he legit does not like William. Scraptrap has the audacity to call his predecessor an absolute loser in the field of mad science— And he might be right?

If Dr. Scraptrap did get a human name for whatever reason, he’d go with either Victor or Phillip.

His voice was provided by either a really good impressionist or a really good editor who knew how to splice syllables. Either way, he still sounds like FNAF 6 Scraptrap. The only difference might be the Doc has a bunch more enthusiasm.

The same impressionist might’ve come back for Dr. Scraptrap’s arcade game that was at the Pizzaplex. The arcade version of the doc, btw, is pretty much his on-stage persona all the way through. Fazbear Entertainment finally got their way with this guy’s personality with an arcade game made by a different team. Yay for them… I guess.

After the whole deal with Security Breach and Ruin, I’m not entirely sure where he is currently. I’d say he’s still touring the fairgrounds, but it looks like Fazbear got hit more than I thought. I almost want to speculate that he’s at a factory if he isn’t touring, but I don’t even know if they have factories now. Let’s hope he isn’t in some junkyard…

The Power is a book men should read tbh, it’s less about female empowerment and more about the corruption, issues and ethics of power being concentrated in a single gender. Most of it is just, what if men had to deal with what women deal with. What if we rebuilt society but women were the powerful ones and they wielded it like men do. It’s a very good read, fast paced, action packed, thought provoking. But as a woman myself it felt… pointless? It’s just our power structure inverted. I don’t necessarily need a whole fiction novel to dumb it down and explain why it’s bad. The power is a book men should read…

I definitely enjoyed it, and if you want a gruesome, cruel, and powerful read this is definitely the book for you regardless of gender. My only ~bad feelings~ about it, my personal worries, are that 1. It would literally take magical powers for women to be able to take the power; implying that men are ~inherently~ more powerful irl. I don’t know how to expand this feeling fully in this post, I think I need a second read, but yeah; IRL women are essentially powerless against men and I guess we kinda have to hope they wanna do ~an equality~ or that we gain super powers. 2. The books inability to examine or even really mention (other than jos and her fleeting romance) LGBT(queerness, gender non conformity, chromosomal/biological irregularities) allowing the book to almost fall right into gender essentialism and that gender roles and man v woman is also inevitable and perhaps even ‘natural’?

I don’t this these issues make this book bad, or even negate its message, it just makes me desire a more in depth and perhaps different exploration of the concept of women suddenly and collectively being able to take the power in a fast and decisive way. I think in the end the concept is so compelling that the book feels comparably incomplete in its exploration. Because In the end it’s just a device to say that power is bad, corruptible and that men need to see themselves suffer fictionally in the way real women actually do in order to maybe understand the power that they wield.

Also Stan Roxy she was by far my favourite character <3

[loversbones]

to whoever cares, and whoever remembers her, her backstory was basically that she lived on the moon in a colony of cats. her dad was essentially the ruler, and i was kinda on the fence when it came to giving her a mom? she had a mother figure but i'm not sure what their actual relationship was - like if she was related to her or if she was just a cat that took care of her.

i didnt have this fully fleshed out, but the moth cat (i forgot what i named them.. i think it was some part of the scientific name of the lunar moth?) was supposed to be a best friend/crush of alienspots' that was actually conspiring against the moon colony with a gang of cats from like. mars or something. idk i was struggling to come up with ideas. they were trying to take over because they wanted territory/power i think. i never really wrote any of this down which is why i'm saying things vaguely, i dont remember well. i was going to make an amv about all of this but i never found the motivation and eventually mommyclan well. collapsed. which made me give up on these characters.

anyway eventually alienspots was supposed to have an arc where somehow she rebuilt her ufo/spaceship after deciding that she really did want to remember her past. she landed on the moon and slowly started regaining memories as she walked around, and then saw these statue versions of her dad and mother figure (these statues were supposed to be literally them turned into stone). and then she finds the moth cat and they battle, alienspots manages to win, and recovers her dad's necklace that kinda gave whoever used it powers ?? related to the moon i think?????? idk it was weird tbh. i didnt have anything after that planned

this is the first time i reveal like any of this info i think. ive been thinking ab making a post about this for a while

i miss alienspots a little

at 51 hours... not much left to do

[menelaiad]

fucks me up how menelaus is the one who escapes the curse and agamemnon is there to witness it.

like everyone in the house of atreus (atreus down, because this is when the curse gets like ... re...cursed) is defined by an act of violence to a family member/loved one that is caused by or committed by them (i say this because thyestes is a grey area. he rapes his daughter which leads to her suicide so that's .... that's enough tbh. he sucks for that)

except menelaus.

and i mean an event that is well documented. that is recorded and that defines their life. examples: atreus killing his nephews and feeding them to his brother, agamemnon killing his daughter, aegisthus killing his uncle and then his cousin and orestes killing his mother. these are DEFINING moments in these characters stories. their stories are incomplete without them.

i added this point cause people will say: menelaus started the war (which he did in a way. i dont dispute that) but that's not his moment. menelaus is often lost in the narrative of the trojan war. that's not HIS moment if you will. (besides the iliad is about achilles, menelaus' moment wouldn't be in that).

menelaus' moment comes AFTER troy. when he's encouraged to kill helen. THIS will be his defining moment of violence that secures his place in this family and drags him down with them.

and he doesn't do it.

and i don't think he ever intended to. menelaus is so DISTANCED from the curse by this choice/decision that he doesn't. even. die. he never actually dies. never mind has a nice life, lives to a ripe old age, dies calmly in his bed etc. etc. he just doesn't die - now that just ain't the cursed house of atreus way.

now. here's where aga comes in. i think aga knew iphigenia was his 'moment'. like he knew once he'd done that. he was no better than his father and uncle etc. (i think it's why he goes downhill over the course of the war and we get a lot in the iliad about him refusing to go home empty handed. he didn't kill his daughter and throw himself on the sacrificial altar of this curse for NOTHING and also why he goes to death so easily in the tragedies yknow? he just walks into the jaws of death. knowing its coming. fully accepting it. and. honestly? believing he deserves it) BUT the possibility that he sees menelaus throw his moment away and refuse it.

i cannot imagine the peace that must bring agamemnon. to have protected this brother through shit after shit. through exile. atreus. thyestes. aegithus. a war. and then to see him separate himself from it all. aga sees that menelaus is no longer bound by all this. menelaus is going to be safe. and perhaps that's another reason he goes to death so easily. he has nothing left. he cannot rebuilt what he had with clytemnestra. as far as he's concerned orestes is dead and so is iphigenia. (elektra is locked up at this point im sure? im sure cly and aeg keep her prinsoner so he probably doesnt even know where she is) and menelaus is safe. there's nothing really left for aga at this point.

and aga and menelaus part on bad terms? they part on bad terms and never see each other again and their lives take such different paths? the story of these two brothers is something that is so personal to me.

Do you have a headcannon for what Soundwave looks like under his mask? Your "more or less normal face" made me snort in your previous fic, but also made me curious about your take.

tbh I go with what he looked like in the canon RID and OP comic flashbacks but I simply do not agree that he has a peelable removable helmet. He’s 100% Frighteningly Average Guy (with maybe a scar or two, idk) under there.

Venturing into headcanon territory, I’d say that in between his head being fully rebuilt in phase 1 and his reformat in phase 2 he didn’t have a mouth, just an intake port—mostly out of practicality: they were canonically short on resources and he couldn’t speak anyway, so…what’s the point? (and maybe a tiny bit of shockwave just being petty.) But when he got rebuilt/reformatted it got added back on.

Going even further into headcanon territory (since we’re talking about faces and I’ve wanted to mention this for months) I’ve headcanoned him as occasionally having the same problem Rung did in the “Signal to Noise” MTMTE text story; when Rung first awakens after having his head shot off, he’s unable to distinguish people from the background. I doubt shockwave would’ve gone through the effort of helping soundwave with it like First Aid did with Rung, so he had to relearn how to see on his own—it’s not a constant problem by the time he’s on Sanctuary, but it flares up on occasion.

“Scared to lose you”

Third POV

As usual, war goes on, betrayals happen, and people simply minding their own business and trying to step down or just joining in on it all.

(Y/n) didn’t pick any sides, the one thing she last thing she wanted to deal with is death and it’s blaming. She knew if she ever got caught up in the middle of it, she’ll get strikes hard with pain. Mentally or Physically. Now, (Y/n) may seem alone if she doesn’t join into the war and such. But, she does have a certain friend she always visits every now and then. Which is Foolish himself, a person who’s a Totem of Undying. Being friends with the god for the past few years, before they both even joined the Dream Smp lands.

Walking down to the desert Foolish lived in, she started pondering in her thoughts.

'Wonder how he’s been doing..' (Y/n) stares at the ground ahead of her, thoughts wondering from one thing to another. He’s been a bit annoyed lately, due to Bad and his so called “Eggpire” coming after Foolish about some egg. She’s glad that Foolish was alright and she, herself avoided Bad after hearing about him acting odd for some time. Something about red vines spreading and the egg. It worried her a little, but she shrugged it off and wandered her thought to another thought. 'He’s been acting upset lately after what Bad said something to him..' (Y/n) recalled back to Foolish explaining what happened after she came to visit Foolish when Bad and his group left. She knew Foolish was gonna have to talk to her about it instead of just not talking about it.

Snapping back into reality, (Y/n) spots the familiar god on one of his knees, rummaging through his chest.

He wore his usual white shirt, and white pants tied with a rope to keep his pants up. His golden skin shining a little in the sun as it was littered with dark spots from him also being part shark. Foolish cheeks were littered with more dark spots to over the bride of his nose. His brown hair hidden under a shark hood (Y/n) made for him, giving it as a gift for being given a stack of enderpearls she needed by him one time.

(Y/n) soon stops admiring him once Foolish turns his head towards her, standing up and walking over to her in his smaller form.

“(Y/n)! It’s great to see you again.” Foolish smiled, but the joy that was coming from his mouth never reached his eyes. (Y/n) frowned for a split second before grinning up at the man.

“I’d say the same thing to you too, Foolish.” (Y/n) chuckled, putting her hands on both her hips.

“So, what brings you here?” Foolish questioned, tilting his head a little to the side. The corner of (Y/n) mouth twitched upwards a bit more before it stopped once she remember what she was gonna talk to him about. Not wanting to ruin the mood so quick, she offers him for a walk, in which he accepts without hesitation.

Both of the two walk around, passing old buildings and new buildings that were created by their friends. Few were destroyed big or small, others were rebuilt much better or just the same.

The duo fell into a calm silence, walking on the prime path.

(Y/n) couldn’t help their thoughts wonder, their (e/c), eye’s lowering to where it was pointed to the ground.

She was enjoy this, yet, confusion stirred in her.

She kept noticing Foolish eyes staring down at her for a few times, brushing his hand against hers, and that his large shark tail swayed a bit more faster than usual since the start of the walk.

“(Y/n)?” Foolish voice comes into her ears, waking her up from her confused little thoughts running around her head.

She hums, looking up at Foolish.

He halts, sitting down under the bride and near the water. (Y/n) complies when Foolish pats the ground next to him, sitting down and crossing her legs.

“I know you want to talk to something with me, (Y/n)..” Foolish grin falls down, a small frown taking over his golden face as he looks at (Y/n). (Y/n) stayed silent for a bit, sighing after a minute or two.

She knew that she wasn’t good at hiding certain things from Foolish.

“I’ve noticed that you’ve been upset lately, after what happened between you and Bad.” (Y/n) answers, fiddling with her fingers as she gazes at the water before her. Foolish noted that she always did this whenever she was nervous.

Foolish scooted a little closer to her, watching her relax a little.

“I wanted to ask..” (Y/n) trailed off into a mumble, making Foolish frown dampen a little more. “Wanted to ask what?” He asked, raising a brow just a tad bit as he tilts his head at the woman sat next to him. A sigh draws from (Y/n) mouth before she fully repeats. “I wanted to ask what did Bad also say that made you upset lately?” (Y/n) turns her head to Foolish, making eye contact with his emerald, colored, eyes.

Foolish goes stiff, remembering back to what Bad said to him.

“I..” He tries to utter out his explanation, except Foolish throat felt like a lump was stuck in it as he started to feel emotional. Foolish breaks away from (Y/n) gaze, his eyes being planted to the ground beneath the two of you.

“I don’t wanna talk about it.” Foolish let’s it out quick, changing on what he was gonna say.

Standing up, he starts walking away without a goodbye. Although, (Y/n) wasn’t gonna let him off that easily. Quickly getting rising from the ground, she jogs over to Foolish and stops in front of him, keeping him from walking any further away. “(Y/n)—” He was instantly cut off by the said person. “Foolish. I understand that you don’t wanna talk about it, but it’s gonna get harder if you don’t tell me.” (Y/n) brows knit together, knowing this could’ve happened sense it was normal for him to sometimes try to shrug it off and avoid talking about things he’s upset about. “(Y/n)..you don’t need to know what Bad said. It’s none of your concern.” Foolish glares down at (Y/n), getting annoyed each second that pasts.

“It is my concern. I care about you, Foolish. You mean so much to me and I hate having to see you upset about something for a bit. So please..just let it out to me.” (Y/n) opens her arms to him, awaiting for the golden man to step into her arms and allow her to caress him, afraid to hurt him.

And so did Foolish did, taking a few steps forward and falling into (Y/n) arms. Trying to keep the tears in that pricked his eyes.

Foolish knew he couldn’t keep all his sadness away from her, she saw right through him like how he saw right through her. That’s what he loved about (Y/n). Foolish loves everything about her. He would do anything for her, no matter what. Heck, he would even die for her.

It made him happy that she was here for him.

“Bad..he—he said he was gonna hurt you...if I don’t join them. A-And I got scared, angered, and so many more at the thought of that.” Foolish voice cracked, giving up on keeping the salty tears in and allowing them to roll down his cheeks and onto (Y/n) shoulder.

“I’m scared to lose you...”

She rubbed his back, tangling her other hand in his brunette hair.

He sniffs, his arms tightening a little more around her waist. Wanting to feel closer to her than he already is. His thoughts now walking off to thoughts of her. Thoughts of (Y/n). The woman who’s been friends with him for years, the one he’s started loving for the past few months. The woman who’s always comforting him when he needs it.

Before he knew it, his mouth let out the words he’s always wanted to say to her ever since then.

“I love you, (Y/n)..”

(Y/n) hands stop moving, her body going tense. Foolish immediately realizes his mistake, hastily removing his head from her shoulder. “I-I didn’t—I’m so sorry—I don’t what I was thinking-” Foolish was cut short by a hand gently caressing his tear stained cheek. Slowly, he moves his emerald eyes over to (Y/n).

His body relaxes once he sees soft eyes staring at him, unreadable to know what (Y/n) eyes were showing besides them looking so kind and comforting.

Subconsciously, he leans his head into her hand. His hand leaving his side to caress (Y/n) hand.

“Foolish, don’t be sorry. It’s alright. Everything will be okay..and I love you, too.” (Y/n) beams up at Foolish, making him melt on the inside. He felt his cheeks heat up, he rubs his face into (Y/n) hand. Giving a small peck into her palm. Moving his head out of her hand after a moment of silence, he brings his other hand out, only using it to hold (Y/n) cheek. Foolish leans to her face, pausing to ask for permission. A small chuckle occurs from (Y/n), earning a nod as his only answer. He smiles before making his lips come in contact with hers.

A god being a mortals friend, to having a crush on her, and lastly..to becoming the person she’ll love always.

Hhhhhh man was it a little confusing to try and imagine how this should go, but this went pretty good then I expected tbh. Hope you enjoyed this by the way, dear friend!
