"Thrash Grandad" by Brainslug, Jordan Rudess is a banging tune. I stuck it on my 2023 playlist https://ift.tt/FLkusrb

the temptation to open commissions but just for ace attorney characters

[cyberstevie]

it looks like there’s discourse about norman takamori and whether he deserves to be piloted like a meatsuit by another intelligence indefinitely vis a vis his past his behaviors his abuse his misogyny etc etc and my take on it is it’s not that deep

[bonanzafamine]

Twitter is in its death throes but the Morphy Boys still never miss

Chapter I - A Bitter Eve Indeed

On a bleak and frosted yuletide eve, Minthara cleared her throat and spat the phlegm with scornful glee, as she snarled, and I quote:

���This cursed season’s here again, I cannot seem to flee it. Nor you, with all your Yuletide cheer, who comes to me to plead at.”

The goblin blinked away the spit, as he stammered out in fear, “But Commander, please, the boys need rest, it’s just once every year.”

“Bah, brainslug!” Minthara did reply, her tone a deadly hiss, "You want a break? Then break yourself - you’ll get no more than this.

“One night off? For season’s cheer? I’ll make sure you regret daring to ask for anything - this is as good as you will get."

And with a loud and thunderous snap, his bones broke like a vow. No, no amount of Yuletide cheer would ever save him now.

Any Harry Potter discourse that's related to the thought of "You must be as bad as JKR for still being into HP!" feels kiiiinda concerning on their views with media tbh? Like I've seen people insist HP is an actually shit book series (and you should be ashamed you're not big brained for not seeing it), shit on people's ages (often, and eerily specifically, adult women who ship "icky" drarry or whatever), say that you're still supporting JKR even if the only official merch you have is the old books you got as a kid, and have this kinda hilarious fear that they'll get infected by anti-trans, racist, antisemitic, etc brainslugs if they even open a page of the books or see the menu screen of hogwarts legacy

Like I feel HP is like a similar example to how someone writing horror, violence, and murder doesn't mean they're murdery in real life? But in an opposite flavor? There's nothing really horrible in the original books (there are issues, like oh boy Cho Chang wasn't the only oof in the books), they're fun to read and the movies were a delight to watch. That doesn't mean JKR is a paragon of virtue and that's super obvious?

A person's skill or talent isn't connected to their morality and I feel it's dangerous to think that way. Like bad people must only make bad works and good people make good works. And that's not true?

Idk something something it feels like people are scared if they read HP and enjoy it they'll have the Old Christian Horrific Guilt, lacking any ability to go "Huh, I'm enjoying this but I'm also noticing weird things about the book now that I know JKR is a piece of shit. Interesting. Next page." and think everyone who still enjoys HP and lacks the Christian Guilt must be a horrible person. Instead of like... someone who probably likes reading books and never had the urge to be a terf.

Crawler @kathrynalexao3:

New Achievement! Reduce, Reuse, Reanimate!

I hear The Undertaker had to be dialed back from his originally satanic origins, because well, it was hard to sell Coke to Middle America.

Here, selling K0CQ to Central System? Sucks to suck. Who would you rather have, one aging biker in face paint or a whole pack of zombies from the dead guys he can't shovel fast enough?

I mean, I know which one I would pick.

Reward: A gold Stone Cold box! Inside, a tome of Second Chance, a scroll of You're Not Done Yet, and a Canadian flag patch - no enchantment, just in anticipatory celebration of a new chapter pending to the Geneva Conventions!

Crawler @king-ofconfusion:

New Achievement! What Doesn't Kill Me Just Pisses Me Off!

Anybody out there talking about the power of love to change the world has never met spite. I'm just saying.

Reward: A silver It's Just Us Pissed-off Cockroach Motherfuckers Now box! Inside, 10 scrolls of Summon Scatterers, a tome of Combine Critter, and a couple potions of Liquid Therapy because mayyyybe you're gonna need it afterwards.

Crawler @oreniaa:

New Achievement! We're Getting The Band Back Together!

So what do you get when you cram an eldritch horror into a guitar, string it with a siren's hair and plug it into a soul crystal?

You will ABSOLUTELY be able to save The Penguin.

Reward: A gold We're On a Mission from God box! Inside are two potions of Bard's Golden Throat, a scroll of Teleport, an enchanted M-16 Infinitely Repeating Rifle of the Scorned Ex-Girlfriend, half a pack of cigarettes, and a pair of sunglasses. Just regular sunglasses.

Crawler @cairfrey :

New Achievement! Purple Reign!

Congratulations on a successful collaboration with Prepotente! He's a fan favorite, but um...if I said 'not a team player' that wouldn't be the half of it.

That said, he does enjoy cats, pentagrams, lush gothic aesthetics, and the old Elvira tapes reminded him of his mom.

MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Your hair will probably turn back to its normal color eventually.

Reward: A gold Mistress of the Dark box! Inside, an enchanted Onyx Ring of Charm Night Creatures (effective against wolf-, bat- and vampiric mobs), and an enchanted Nightdress of +5 Charisma and also +5 to Pass Without Trace/Stealth/Concealment skills.

Crawler @deathdovesong

New Achievement! Bring Lawyers, Guns and Money!

The most powerful magic words anywhere in the universe? "I want to talk to my lawyer." It's really surprising more people don't know them! But you, crawler, you get me. And you get legal representation! While the mudskippers and brainslugs would like to PRETEND to ignore that, the truth is, if they did...well, here's the thing about mercenaries? They REALLY LIKE CONTRACTS. and the thing about corporates? they're REALLY REALLY squishy. That socially maladjusted Sacc from planet Meta notwithstanding. One Shade Gnoll pissed off about his bonus would splatter his ass like all-you-can-eat calamari.

Reward: a golden Shit Has Hit The Fan box! Includes a Valtay neural interface of Start/Pause Record, a blaster pistol, and 50,000 gold - also an Enchanted Toe Ring of the Splatter Skunk. Because if Daddy's gonna bail you out...it's time to pay the daddy tax. Hope you held onto your pumice stone!

Crawler @clearbrightlight

Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without - you are getting every scrap out of your raw materials for mayhem.

Reward: A +20% bonus to prices for your handcrafted/upgraded items on the Syndicate Market and Silk Road bazaar, and a Personal Space Upgrade to increase your tinkerin' room!

Crawler @lazyscience:

New Achievement: Walk It Off!

The crawl doesn't stop while you're processing it. Keep moving, keep training, keep maintaining. keep on keepin' on. Good job not obsessively doomscrolling on Bluesky though.

Reward: When you have decluttered the kitchen counter and run the dishwasher, we can talk about your next reward.

ATTENTION, all partied crawlers! Don't forget to update me on mobs, quests, or parties (defined at link) so I can award you achievements! Please let me know either in the replies to this post, reblogging with additions, or hit my askbox/DMs!

(please, do this, even with small and silly mobs/quests, it makes giving achievements so much easier!)
