“I’m actually so fucking bored I’m gonna gouge my eyes out.”

You scoff and roll your eyes. Ellie is always so damn dramatic. You glance over and she’s pretending to pull her hair out, large fistfuls in each hand.

You playfully shove her, “Okay, shut up Ellie.” And you both laugh. It was winter, and she was right… sadly. There was nothing to do during this time of year. Well, besides stay in and cuddle. The only problem was.. you’ve already done that. You two were both off work for the holidays, and you’ve already spent the wholeeeee vacation laying in bed together, so you guessed that Ellie wanted to do something a little more active.

“Wanna play Mario kart? I think the switch is in the bedroom.” You try suggesting, absentmindedly rubbing her leg.

“Nah,” she stretches her arms out on the couch, “Somethin’ more like physical yknow. Gotta keep these pretty muscles toned.” She winks at you, and you roll your eyes.

“You’re actually such a gym rat, you should just live there at this point.” You smirk to yourself, examining your nails.

“Maybe if I did I wouldn’t constantly trip on all the shit you leave around here.” Ellie remarks back, lightly kicking you on the knee.

“Hey, I keep it pretty clean considering we both share a room, thank you very much.” You cross your arms and huff.

Ellie gasps and starts kicking you more, so you yelp and start shoving her away. Suddenly she stops, holding out both her hands. “Holy fuck, babe. Yknow what I forgot about?”

“Huh.”

“Hot tub.”

You sit up at lighting speed, “OH DAMN YOURE RIGHT!” You actually can’t believe you forgot about that thing. You try to remember the last time you even used it.. must have been last summer. The hot tub was one of things that you’re OBSESSED with at first, but then you use it one too many times and you forget about it for a couple months. And then the cycle continues.

Ellie leaps off the couch and bolts down the hall. “GET YOUR SWIMSUIT ON WE ARE GOING IN!!”

~

You come outside and see Ellie lifting up the top of the hot tub. The whole things underneath a roof outside, so there’s not much snow in the porch where you two are standing, but it’s still really cold. You look up at the sky. The sun is starting to set, it’s been a little over an hour since you two had dinner. Delicious deer soup that Ellie made from when she went hunting a couple days ago. You always said that if Ellie was stuck in a post apocalyptic world, she would survive.

You suddenly remember the cold air hitting you, breaking you out of your thoughts of your girlfriend. You shiver, and pull the robe you’re wearing tighter around your body. You glance over at Ellie still messing with the top of the hot tub. All Ellie’s wearing is her classic swimsuit: plain black top and swim shorts. Her tattoo flexes as she finally pops the top off and turns the hot tub on.

You jump up and down in your slippers, trying to move to stay warm. “Ellieeee how much longer?”

She reaches down into the water and starts poking around at the buttons and jets. “Hold your horses, y/n, I gotta check all the filters n shit. Haven’t used this in a hot minute.”

“Mmmm I know but it’s cold.” You groan in protest. You know damn well you’re being a brat, but you swear you’re not built for any weather too hot or too cold.

“Well you wanna shut up and help me? Make it go by faster..” She looks up at you and you shake your head vigorously. “Yeah thas’ what I thought.” She smirks at you.

After what felt like foreverrrrr in the cold, Ellie turns the jets on and says you can hop in. There’s steam coming off the water as it hits the cold air. You can barley wait, you’re hyping the hot tub up in your mind. It’s something that feels like a luxury to you. The only thing that can make you stop thinking about your precious hot tub is your precious Ellie. You look up at her and get butterflies, even though you two have been dating for about 2 years now. She looks soooo beautiful, just standing there, folding up the tarp from the tub. You shake your head, thinking it’s so damn stupid to be drooling over your girlfriend who’s literally just standing there, doing the most mundane possible thing.

Some snow falls on top of your head so you brush it off. It’s getting too cold for you. You lick your lips, turning around to shed your rob, you’re still slightly shy undressing in front of Ellie, even though you’re still in a swimsuit. You hang your cute pink robe up on the hook where the towels you brought out are.

Turning back around to head into the tub, you see Ellie with her back towards you, messing around with the water guns from last summer. You check her out unapologetically, looking at her ass before you snap into reality again and take your slippers off to step into the hot tub. The hot water feels like it burns your skin, compared to the cold winter air. You take a couple minutes slowly sliding more of your body deeper into the water.

Ellie turns around, with one water gun still in her hand. “Feel alright, babe? Not too hot?”

You sink in deeper, up to your neck, “Mm feels good.” And then rise up again slowly, “Come in, Els. I’m gettin’ bored in here.”

“Oh yeah?” She closes one eye and lifts up the gun, suddenly shooting a short stream of cold ass water at you. “Not so bored now, huh?” She laughs and walks closer to you.

Your jaw drops and you scream when the water hits you, “ELLIEEEEE WHAT THE FUCKKKK!”

“What?” She fakes a pout, lowering the water gun. “I told you I gotta keep these muscles in good shape, right?”

Before you can retort, she’s already getting in the hot tub. “God, shove over. I’m freezing.” She accidentally splashes you as she’s hastily getting in.

“Ellieeeee! Don’t splash me! >~<“ you whine, but she just laughs, and this time splashes you on purpose. You sigh dramatically at all her antics.

She doesn’t reply, and just sinks in deeper, and you take no shame in watching her stretch her body out. Ellie groans slightly at the hot water enveloping her body. You sigh and blink at her, watching her eyebrows furrow. She slowly leans her head back against the headrest of the hot tub. You swear she’s egging you on, because she moans softly, giving you the perfect view of her neck, which she knows is your favorite place to kiss her. Suddenly, Ellie opens her eyes and says something that breaks you out of the trance you’ve had all day, “You keep lookin’ at me. What’s goin’ on?”

You let yourself float away from her in the water ever so slightly, “Nothing. I’m not looking at you.”

“Yknow I can like,,, feel your eyes burning into my back whenever you stare at me.”

You cover your face with your hands and

face away from her. She laughs to herself. She finds it so cute you still get flustered around her even after all this time you’ve been together.

“That’s too bad because I’m reallyyyy not looking at you.”

Instead of a snarky remark back, Ellie’s abnormally silent. You slowly bring your hands down to face her again, and she’s just looking at you with this look in her eyes. You think it’s somewhere in between concern and contemplation. “You trust me, right?” She says softly, after a few moments. You’re surprised, this is probably the quietest Ellie’s ever been with you.

“Of course I do. What’s wrong, Ellie?” Her tone is completely different than what you’re used to. This only happens on the rare occasion you guys have a disagreement. Or when you talk about something serious.

“Jus’ don’t want you thinking I’m gonna leave you.” She says, almost ashamed. She’s fidgeting with her fingers like how she always does, and avoiding your gaze.

You laugh softly. “Were you….. going to?” You can feel your heart rate speeding up.

Ellie’s eyes widen, “No. no no no.” She sighs, slowly, taking a few moments to collect her thoughts. “I get scared thinking about the future.” She mutters.

You look up at her. You knew Ellie gets scared. Of course she does. When she told you about Joel dying on what, your second date, you knew she’s not as… sturdy.. as she pretends to be sometimes. But that was in the past, and to hear Ellie admit she is worried about her own life ahead of her.. honestly made you surprised.

“Like.. I just want you to know that I’m always gonna be here for you.” She looks so concerned, like she might cry if you guys talk about this for any longer. She’s still looking down, trying to make herself smaller.

“Oh, Ellie.” You raise your hand up and softly tilt her chin to look at you. “I know. Okay? And nothing bad is gonna happen to you. Or me. Or us.”

She looks into your eyes for a second, before she gently tucks your hair behind your ear, leans in, and kisses you.

The kiss is as soft as she’s been talking - all emotion and thought as her lips move slowly against yours. She puts her hand on the back of your neck, pulling you in closer. You sigh into the kiss. She was so tender with you right now. You were so used to fervent and desperate make out sessions with her. Not that that was bad, at all, but you didn’t realize how nice of a change this was until it was happening. You grab her waist, pulling her in closer to you. All of her is so soft and warm against you: her lips, tattooed arm, thighs.. and not just because you two were in the hot tub.

She pulls away to look at you, and you want to melt from the look on her face. She looks like she’s actually in heaven.

“I really love you.”

You smile softly at her, tracing over her tattoo lightly with your finger. “I love you too.” You pull her back into a kiss. After a couple more minutes, she’s more intent with her movements, like how she usually is. She’s not afraid to run her hands over your thighs and squeeze you nipple under your swimsuit.

You gasp at the sudden contact, and moan a little into her mouth.

She pulls away, “Cmon, baby. Need more of that.” and kisses you again, almost immediately licking your bottom lip, asking for entrance. She’s not as soft anymore, back to her usual self wanting to make you moan in pleasure as she works your body. You don’t even try fighting for dominance, just letting her tongue dance around yours as she pleases.

“Ellie…” is all you have to say, and she understands, shifting her position to let you have more of her. You want to press yourself down onto her, and please you both at the same time. You lift your legs up, trying to hook them around her, but you start floating away in the water. You’re not even going fast, it’s so comical how slow the jets are pushing you. You snort and reach out to grab Ellie’s hand.

“Ohmygod!” Ellie starts laughing and she grabs your hand, “Can’t exactly scissor in the water, I guess.” You blush and scoff at how forward she can be.

“Cmere. Let’s get ya propped up.”

You untie the knots on you bikini bottoms to take them off, tossing them somewhere you’ll pick up later. She grabs your hand and gently guides you to sit on the edge of the hot tub, on one of the corners so you don’t lean back and fall off. She brings your arm down to her face, and kisses you on the back of the hand. You smile and giggle. You swear you feel like a little girl again. You’re a princess and Ellie is your prince. You glance up at the sky - the sun is setting. An array of orange and pinks.

Ellie’s below you, turning down the jets of the tub a little, and getting into her favorite position: right between your thighs. You really couldn’t ask for a more perfect fantasy if you tried.

“This okay?” She asks, lightly rubbing your thigh with her thumb.

“Yes,” you breathe out, “please, Ellie.”

From where she is, you’re practically a goddess towering above her. You feel powerful and confident, and fucking desperate, wanting Ellie to just devour you already.

Ellie only hums in response before kissing your clit. You gasp sharply, you swear no matter how many times she eats you out you could never get used to the heavenly feeling. Her tongue starts lapping you up, and you moan loudly. You silently thank the neighbors for never being outside late during the winter, and that the hot tub is reasonably private, so no one can see you.

Maybe it’s just the cold frigid night air in comparison to Ellie’s warm, wet mouth, but you swear this is some of the best head she’s ever given you. Ellie never stopped licking and kissing at your clit - eventually she didn’t know if you were shaking from the sex or shivering because of the cold, but either way, she could tell from the volume of your moans that you weren’t going to last much longer.

“Mmmmmm- gonna cum soon..”

Ellie just nods, her face still buried into you. You can feel her cute little nose bumping up against you, and both her hands are up on your knees, spreading your thighs open for her.

She knows you’re close when you start whimpering and gasping for air.

“Ohmygod ohmygod Ellie,, fuck- you’re gonna make me cum..”

As soon as you warn her you’re throwing your head back, and your hips snap up as your orgasm takes over you. She keeps licking you clean until your breathing slows and you let yourself sink back down into the hot water.

You can’t even think of anything to say, so you grab Ellie’s arm and wrap it around you, as a way to ask her to cuddle you.

“Always such a cuddle bug after you cum..” Ellie mutters, mostly to herself, as she rests her head on yours.

You just chuckle and look up into the sky as the sun finally sets. You sigh in and out the cold winter air. Ellie kisses the top of your head, whispering one more ‘I love you’ as she pulls you closer into her arms.

Buy The Stars - MARINA / TimeLoopPrison AU Animatic Script

if the companion pieces to the first ever get finished I’ll replace them lol / also ao3 link

You bought a star

In the sky tonight

(Top down) Cub running along with some kind of apparition in the woods. Pan up to the stars and the sky. It’s winter for the vibes

Because your life is dark

Cub is framed in the dark, struggling to keep up with his ghost. His is existence is pretty joyless and this is a skill issue but at least he’s doing something about it.

And it needs some light

A blackberry bush is in focus in front of Cub’s face, who is looking on in some kind of wonder. He gets one good thing. The ghostie is gone

You named it after me

Abrupt cut to a shriveled bush with Cub’s face still behind it. Back to being joyless ✌️ also emaciated and covered in sculk. oops.

But I'm not yours to keep

Pan out to Cub surrounded by police and flashlights in the dead of night. Instead of snow, the ground is mostly sculk.

Because you'll never see

That the stars are free

Cub is apprehended, but he fights like hell. He is very expressive in his last proclamation.

Oh, we don't own our heavens now

Through a window, you see Cub being restrained by multiple doctors until his is sedated.

We only own our hell

Cleo is revealed as our POV, she narrows her eyes in thought.

And if you don't know that by now

Then you don't know me that well

(Abrupt head on shot from a wide angle) Cleo and Cub are cell neighbors. Through the bars, Cleo is speaking to Cub, who is mostly unresponsive. Most of the sculk is gone. Cleo is friendly and the conversation is one sided but light hearted.

All my life, I've been so lonely

All in the name of being holy

(Same angle but on the time loop space ship. Cub and Cleo are in their respective beds) Cub is speaking like the miserable little man he is. He would rather die than be this vulnerable but things happen to you in prison man.

Still, you'd like to think you know me

Cub challenges Cleo, who rolls their eyes.

You keep buying stars

Cleo teases Cub, who doesn’t look amused

And you could buy up all the stars

Back to Cub walking around in da woods. His form is difficult to parse under all the sculk

But it wouldn't change who you are

Close up on his silly little face

You're still living life in the dark

Back to the space ship, Cub is saying this to Cleo, >:( about it

It's just who you are, it's just who you are

Cub accuses Cleo on the first line. (The angle changes to focus on Cleo) Cleo, not taking him seriously, says the same words back.

You bought a star

(From the same angle, Cleo is human in a doctor’s office) Cleo is staring dead eyed at something we can not see.

In the sky tonight

They’re holding a treatment plan for the late stage cancer that’s going to wreck their shit in a few months. There is very little they can do.

And in your man-made dark

(Top down view of some kind of ritualistic bloody torture room. idk man. A table is framed in the middle. Don’t forget the meat!) On the table is a stranger in a hospital gown with a dagger through their chest. Cleo is holding the dagger lololol. The blood from the stranger is leaking off the table and onto the floor where some kind of sigils are drawn.

The light inside you died

The stranger opens their eyes. Notably, Cleo looks ragged and pale and the Meat Bucket is rotten.

Oh, we don't own our heavens now

Cleo, still human looking, is stitching closed a suspiciously dagger shaped chest wound on themself. The injury is not bleeding, in fact, the inside looks pretty black and dead.

We only own our hell

She scratches something on her face and uh oh. the skin comes off. (<- bad)

And if you don't know that by now

Cleo’s phone is blowing up with texts from the same person.

Then you don't know me that well

Her fist (looking BAD) (melting 😬) comes down on the side table, knocking her phone off it.

All my life, I've been so lonely

All in the name of being holy

Back on the spaceship Cleo is FUCKING PISSED‼️

And still, you'd like to think you own me

(Top down view of their beds) Cleo is yelling at the ceiling. Cub follows her view looking :T

You keep buying stars

Cub speaks softly, looking down. he dgaf

And you could buy up all the stars

Cleo holding a dagger over their head With Intention, framed by the night sky but like… she’s in her dungeon.

But it wouldn't change who you are

Someone is yelling at her (greeng) in prison. She is upset. Reasonably. But she also committed several murders so like….

You're still living life in the dark

Cleo is speaking to Cub, accusatory.

It's just who you are, it's just who you are

Cleo says the first line, and Cub, not facing her, repeats it back, unconcerned.

Yeah, you know

only

how to

own me

You know

only

how to

own me

Scar enters the picture. Compilation of him breaking in and dying a lot lol. At least one Cleo kill and one Cub kill. They get along in the end. Scar is still Unwell

You're buying stars to shut out the light

Brief pan across Scar’s troubled childhood.

We come alone and alone we die

(Younger) Scar looses some kind of person behind a wall, cut to him taking cover as the ship explodes.

And no matter how hard you try

Smoke clears as Scar lip syncs desperately on the prison space ship, particularly concerned with food

I'll always belong in the sky

Cub and Cleo give each other a kind of bewildered look.. like damn do we sound like that…

there’s an instrumental section here I’m just gonna ignore

And you could buy up all the stars

Loop 16, Scar walks into the safe room to be presented with a little plush buddy made by Cub and Cleo.

But it wouldn't change who you are

Cleo is telling an animated story while Scar and Cub lay on the same bed, settled in and smiling

You're still living life in the dark

Cub and Cleo laying together, side by side. Probably will be misconstrued as romantic but they’re just unbreakably bonded by the circumstances of their shared misery. Scar might also be here just sprawled entirely over both of them but he’s zzzzzzzz

It's just who you are

Cleo speaks to Cub, smiling.

It's just who you are

Cub smiles as well, repeating the sentiment

It's who you are, it's who you are

The cast going through their worst moments to one of their better ones; Cub in the woods all sculked up to him with the puzzle box, putting the very pin in while Cleo tries to stop him. Confetti comes out one end. Scar is in good spirits

It's who you are, it's who you are

Cleo with their skin falling off 0/10 to her with Scar, either teaching him to use the human keyboard or some sort of English so he can get the basics of literacy in a space he can not read the language. Cub is there like 👍

It's who you are, it's who you are

Scar all bloody and shit from having his face blown off kinda whoops to Scar sitting with Cleo and Cub, the humans eating their meal while Scar’s plush ‘eats’ and Scar watches, all of them in good spirits.

It's who you are, it's who you are

I’m not usually above spoiling my fic but this would be the very ending so… I’ll keep it a secret for now

[halowritesthings]

“Tout est nul, putain,” Remy said while stomping his way inside. He shook the snow off his body like a wet dog, specifically because he knew it would annoy Scott when he eventually came inside and saw the partially melted snow on the hardwood. “I hate de cold.”

He shucked off the winter cap and gloves he borrowed, but before he could bend over to unlace his boots, a southern drawl emitted from the doorway, “So Ah’ve heard.”

Looking up, he saw Rogue leaning on the frame of the entrance to the common area of the mansion, a blanket bundled in her arms. His mood suddenly perked up significantly, “Well, good ol’ North must‘ve finally caught me. Why else would such a stunnin’ ange be here t’greet moi?”

Rogue rolled her eyes as she got off the frame to stand up straight, “Quit bein’ a drama queen, Swamp Rat. Everyone has had to shovel the walkways at some point.”

Remy pouted, leaning down so he could get back to stripping off the boots, “You say dat, yet why is tonight de first time I seen Specs do his fair share, neh? Gettin’ down an’ dirty too much a hassle for Fearless?”

“Ya know that’s just because ya always hightail it out of the room before the drawing of straws can begin,” Rogue said. “Ah think he’s already maxed out his shoveling duties for the season, but he joined ya tonight anyway, specifically to make sure you would do yer job for once.”

When Remy got both boots off, he looked up at Rogue with zero guilt in his eyes. His pout might have gotten bigger, actually, “So mean to Remy.”

He was quick to slip on his moccasin slippers that he was forced to abandon just an hour prior. If he wasn’t feeling so stiff, he would honestly be willing to bend over even further to place a kiss on the tips of each of them. Plus, he already got called dramatic once in this conversation; even though it was true, he would like to keep the factual observations to a minimum tonight.

As he stood back to his full height, he was suddenly assaulted, darkness enshrouding his vision and his movement becoming restricted. He struggled for a second before remembering what he was just looking at and held himself still. He was swiftly rewarded when a pair of gentle hands messed with the covering at his face and adjusted it so he was snuggly wrapped everywhere that didn’t impede his line of sight. 

Once he was able to see again, he was met with Rogue looking at him with that same fond exasperation he loved to bring out in her. “Don’t chu’ worry,” Rogue began, finalizing the details of her current attempts to encase Remy where he stood. “Jubilee went and made us a bunch’a different kinds of hot coco, and knowing yer daily sugar intake, you’ll be reawakened in no time.”

With a lopsided smile, he grabbed one of her hands, using his blanket-covered fingers to wrap excess blanket around her knuckles before placing a kiss to the top of the hand while looking her in the eyes. She was of course wearing one of her nighttime pair of gloves that she wore when they hung out after hours, but recently he had been making sure to add extra layers between them whenever he could to ease whatever leftover anxiety plagued her mind, “Mon sauveur, what would dis scoundrel do wit’out chu?”

“Yeah, yeah,” Rogue said with another roll of her eyes. “Love ya too, ya greaseball.”

woe 🫴 halo x-men fic be upon ye shout out to the 4 people who unanimously voted "yes" to the poll on my main asking about whether or not i should post this WIP snippet to tumblr lol. i have zero idea as to when i can get this completed due to a.) the dreaded blockage of writers as per usual and B.) the dreaded schoolwork which is in a constant revolving state of "maybe i won't have too much work this weekend" and "holy shit i'm falling behind so hard i'm gonna die-" this snippet is rather contained tho so it can work as a standalone pretty well. maybe i just need to embrace shorter ficlets as my main form of writing. certainly would be a nice break from the "can't make a oneshot less than 6k words" train i've been riding since day one LMAO anyway feel free to ignore my yapping; i hope you like my first foray into this fandom!

[greenplantlizard]

gaim 38-47 (END)!!!

welp, rip takatora, definitely no way he survived for sure yes definitely it's not like he's fake-out died without leaving a body before,,,

kid has reached rock bottom

as the episode title promises, ryoma is back!!! he seems chipper today

well roshuo seems reasonable,,,,,, ish,,,,,,,,, very ish

loving the gradual deterioration of the city every time we see it

something about them talking about what they'll do when this is over with the backdrop of a partially overgrown zawame city,,,,,,

kaito raises some good points sometimes

WUH OH KAITO

bro not the "you just have to think about this logically"

mitchy has hit the point in his corruption arc where he starts cackling randomly

i figured he was past the point of no return but it's nice to hear other characters think so as well

kouta is doing fiiiiiiiiine,,,,,

time to assemble a rag-tag team!!!

ryoma's gleeful little compound

roshuo very fine and normal about his wife yes

so many people playing games, but who's playing who?

this too is a mecha anime

"my self help advice? just be evil? :)" -ryoma probably

"oh yes oh yes oh yes"

ryoma is just enjoying fucking with kouta isn't he

redyue showdown!!!

wuh oh, kouta's getting kamen rider [ok this is a pretty big spoiler for the season i was going to say, so basically if you know which previous season im referring to when i compare it to kouta's gradual transformation induced by his final form, you know]

wuh oh weighty choice alert!!!

but oh boy this is very reminiscent of [previous season]

kouta has been fucking around, and it is now time to Find Out™

LMAO HE JUST KICKS THE MACHINE AND IT WORKS

oh BOYYYYY he's not ok

well,,,,, blonde mai tried to warn you,,,

holy SHIT the way the plot has built to this point,,,,

say what you want about kaito, but he does in fact have mitchy pegged

ryoma being a delightful little shit

hmmmmmmmmmmmm im sure everything roshuo is doing will have no lasting consequences...

LOL HE JUST THREW GRIDON

welp its roshuo showdown time!!! concerningly early, in fact

kaito is fine and not grievously injured yes

because of course she did, honestly

o h

a TWIST

and so rip to the ultimate wife guy

redyue DISINTEGRATED

oh hey the fabled Wife has arrived, just in time to say goodbye

welp that plot's wrapped up, now the only thing dooming the earth is itself

and the plants that are going to overrun it

let's see how long it takes before everyone starts trying to kill each other

i give it until news of mai containing the golden fruits spreads

oop kaito's already forgoing the niceties

and thus the cycle is beginning again,,,

lmao garden of eden reference

so sagara pokes worlds with a stick and says "come on,,, do something" until they do something, doesn't matter what it is, but it will do Something

probably at the expense of the old world but Oh Well™

true, anything can be solved with a good meal

kaito has picked the most concerning way to be metal

CONCERNING LOCKSEED JUST DROPPED

the first stage to recovery is acknowledging the problem, yay mitchy!!! i say as he contemplates draining his lifeforce for a cause he doesn't believe in

OH B O Y MITCHY'S ARC HAS ALL LED TO THIS

two guys fighting each other for the same outcome, ohhhh the tragedy :D

meanwhile mai is having a normal time yes

yippeeeeeee snowing feathers,,,,

well mitchy, the only way is up, and you've been handed a ladder

THIS IS NOT A DRILL, KOUTA IS FUCKING DEAD

ryoma fucked up and evil moments

welp, mitchy has run afoul of the themes

BLONDE MAI IS REVEALED

and she actually is mai!!! interesting!!!

[TIME VENT]

and then everyone was doomed by the narrative anyway even though she tried to warn them

perhaps the warning is what made them doomed

oh that's literally why they were in-story too???

let the ryoma showdown commence!!!!!!

kaito is fine and ok

oh he's going to do something drastic isn't he

OH THERE IT IS

OH B O Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y

kouta's gonna be fiiiiiiine

i mean not necessarily human but he's gonna be fine

kaito has joined the war on climate change on the side of climate change

oren's warrior sense strikes again!!!

[iwonderwh0]

how frequently do you read fan fiction? and do you have any dbh fanfics to recommend? please do share!!

Rarely. I'm sure there are amazing fics I've been recommended that I still haven't read, because yeah, I rarely have a mood to read them and I'm a slow reader. Also I have this annoying tendency to abandon fics after a few paragraphs or chapters for quite random reasons.

Anyways, here's a list of things I've read and I think I can recommend:

A Ghost by Midnight -THE BEST ONE I'VE EVER READ. Just painfully amazing, it honestly blew my mind that a fiction can make me feel SO MUCH, because no other media EVER hurt me like this fanfiction did, just holy fuck, there is one sentence that just breaks my heart every time I remember it even now. This is a piece of art, a masterpiece. Every damn sentence is perfect and feels like a punch in the gut. Read it if you want text to physically hurt you. There is technically a second part, but I'm not going to recommend it because it was abandoned on a cliff-hanger and honestly this (technically first) part is perfect the way it is on its own.

Cast & Sugar - one shot, really cute one (the only non-hurt thing in this whole list, lol), centres around PM700. Really poetically well written. If you'll like this one, I also recommend another PM700 centric fic by the same author You can't kill me

ALSO from this author there's an amazing comics ZENO that technically isn't a fic, but I feel like it belongs here ZENO - it's not finished, but hopefully some day it will

You are enough - fun fact, it was the first fanfiction I've read in my life and in dbh fandom specifically. It's reed900, and even though it's not my cup of tea NOW, back then I really liked it, so if you like hurt/comfort and reed900, you'll probably like this one.

Detroit Become Nothing - another 'technically not a fic', but I must mention it. It's a text-based game that has different outcomes depending on how you play it. It has a fic attached to it, yes, but go play it first. Once again, it's quite heavy stuff. Honestly I am scared to play it again, so I still don't know all the outcomes. But give it some love, this is amazing.

Next two ones are Hankcon with lots of hurt

Eternal Winter - this one is written in a really addictive way that gave me shit ton on emotions, but it is REALLY Connor-centric. Author did what we all dream about and just tortured the shit out of him both mentally and physically. I imagine, it must've been really fun to write. Beware of tags, but this one isn't graphic, unlike the next one

Buried Beneath the Snow - MIND THE FUCKING TAGS, this one is really dead dove kind of situation. I'm honestly not sure if I should recommend it, because this thing is really graphic, cruel and well, it is fucked up. I probably wouldn't read it if I knew how graphic shit gets (I'm pretty sure I didn't check the tags AT ALL when I started reading it), but the writing in is absolutely fantastic, so when I realised how vile this thing is, it was too late to stop. Also it'll make you hate Gavin so fucking much you won't be able to see him the fanon way again. So, beware. This thing is brutal, so really think twice before reading it if you end up deciding to try.

[delugyu]

i’m just ‼️‼️ honestly, i shouldn’t have asked since i’m like THE most impatient person ever. i genuinely cannot wait, i love ur brain !!

“cue some action (the fighting kind)” KILLED ME LMAO. anyway, i’m soooooo looking forward to seeing mc’s and yeonjun’s relationship especially since mc will be getting involved in spiderjjun stuff, it seems she’s helping him ?? but maybe she’ll get caught up on some dangerous stuff ??

servant x noble is peak idc !!! also mixed with vampire au GIMME !! i wonder if mc is a vampire too or just a human? also kind of unrelated but this reminds of this one vampire anime where the protagonist is found in the snow by his love interest and they have to undress and huddle together for warmth lol

you sure love pitting soobin and beomgyu against each other huh. LMAOOOO no but i love the concept, i can definitely say this is the one i’m most excited about (though the franskenstein au sounds pretty interesting too. i can imagine gyu following mc around her lab like a puppy lol lol.) i really really enjoy a good psychological thriller and the fact that we’ll only know what happens through mc’s POV 😵‍💫😵‍💫 literally shaking in my boots ‼️‼️ also taehyun fits academic rivals soooo well

i still have lots to do, but now it’s just minor assignments. i had to work my ass tf OFF last week to turn in two major projects this tuesday 🥲 plus an exam and a presentation, it was helllll. do not procrastinate (i will do it again.) i hope you get some free time soon !! this last part of the semester SUCKS tbh, please take care of yourself !!

it’s not soobin !!! debating whether i should just tell you or let you guess hehe. but then again i think it’s so obvious who my bias is lol

astrology anon

hehe tyyyy 🙈 i’m like aching to get more time to write cause im dying to get these fics out lol

i luv mc and yj’s relationship development over the course of the fic. she definitely gets tangled up in some things with him lol. writing action-like scenes is somewhat new territory for me, but it’s super fun. i really wanna get a teaser out next week, but i gotta come up with a title and summary first 😭

I LOVE SERVANT X NOBLE TOO LOL and vampire aus are always so hot so 🤓 mc’s just a human, not a vampire!! she’s not like a blood bag to them tho. also omfg i don’t watch anime but that sounds so yum EEK

CRYINGGG no like i can’t stop making gyu and soobin enemies I CANT… ack im so glad ur excited for the robot au too, i get antsy to write it every time i think about it. the frankenstein au is also really exciting lol and ur so right gyu definitely follows mc around like a lost puppy 😖 he’s soooo cute even tho he gets a little crazy.. we can look past that tho cause he’s so cute <3 hehe the taehyun academic rivals fic just felt like the most fitting trope for him ever

omg i hope you did good on all those projects and exams!! whew two big projects on the same day, are u okay holy shit 😭 i only had to do one presentation this semester thank god… but i’d willingly do three presentations instead of one essay I HATE ESSAYS SO BAD. lmfao actually the only essay i have to do now shouldn’t be too hard. at least it’s not a research essay. i got 3 more exams, 1 project, and 1 essay, so tbh i probably won’t be super active until mid-may bc of that LOL

my next guess for ur bias is beomgyu 🤞 my guessing prowess is remarkably low tho so my confidence in this answer is minimal!

ty for coming to talkkkkk😚🤍

Agust D - Agust D

I haven’t done a proper hip hop album yet, so this was a cool experience. It’s obviously intended to be more lyrical than melodic overall, and learning about the background of the album feels kind of essential to understand what’s going on. So, if you’re gonna listen to this album, definitely check out the Wikipedia page first.

I think I liked the experience. I certainly enjoyed a lot of the songs, and I like the picture that the album as a whole painted. I’m not convinced by the musicality of it; I don’t think I’ll end up listening to most of these songs ever, I really had to pay attention to the lyrics to appreciate them. But a couple of them were enough that I’ll be able to enjoy them without the lyrics. Plus the last song was actually SO good. Overall rating of 7.9 but… I would kind of take that with a grain of salt. I’ve never listened to another album quite like this, so I have nothing to compare that score to, really. I think a rating of 7.5 would be more appropriate.

- So, funny story here. I never intended to listen to anything Agust D, ever. But then earlier this year, for like two weeks straight, D-Day was everywhere I looked. It was all over kpop reddit and it was all over kpop youtube and so when it finally came out, the Haegeum MV was recommended to me literally everywhere. And so I caved and watched it, and I liked it enough to listen to the album. So I saved some songs from D-Day, and that was all. Then yesterday I was like “I should check out his other titles,” so I watched Agust D and Daechwita, and I loved them. So now I’m gonna go through their respective albums and see what I can see!

Also holy shit I just opened up Reddit and the first post on my reddit is “What is being said in the beginning of Agust D?” from 8 minutes ago. If that isn’t a sign then idk what is lmao

Intro : DT sugA

Haha yep, here we go

E N E R G Y

The repetition of “STD” is funny. Like, is he aware of what STD means in english? Surely. But also it’s a pun, he’s Suga from TD. So he is STD, and also Agust D. Wordplay!

Also maybe I should watch lyric videos for these songs, considering it’s mostly rap…

8/10, I do tend to rate intros and interludes highly

Agust D

The MV is so cool. Like, it’s not just trying to be cool: it IS cool

He’s actually such a good rapper. Like I just love the way that words sound when they come out of his mouth

Lyrically, it’s kind of what you’d expect. “I’m great and you’re dumb, fuck all the haters, I’m a real rapper and way better than you too”

8/10. Very good, fun, but I want a bit more from it

give it to me

Woahhh the bell

Also this bass

Also this beat

I love the laugh

(I’ll probably be typing a Lot less because I’m spending more time looking at the lyrics)

7/10

Skit

Oh lol is this literally a skit?

Omg it is that’s so funny

Bro two orders of ribs? Oh I guess if it’s for both of you

Omg he’s totally breaking the 4th wall

“Yankie hyunh” lmao

Okay wait, do I even rate this? I guess I should

9/10, really really cool inclusion, fits the theme of the album well.

724148

Bassy, alright

He keeps referencing bang si hyuk, that’s neat

So far this album seems to be more lyrical than anything, but I’m not totally convinced by the musicality of it. Maybe I’d rate it higher if it was in English, but also, I know what he can do. He’s got more levels to go from this.

7/10

140503 at dawn

Lol he’s moaning like

Oh he’s typing

Lol

7/10

The Last

Do you hear that bass drum?

We do appreciate rapping about mental health issues

9/10

Tony Montana (feat. Yankie)

Ohh it’s Jimin? That’s neat

It’s snowing outside! Pretty

Interesting soundscape

Who tf is Tony Montana then?

“A fictional character and the villain-protagonist of the 1983 film Scarface”

“Embodying the possibility of a person rising from the bottom of society to the top, Tony Montana has become a cultural icon, as well as one of the most iconic film characters of all time.”

6/10 tbh. It’s FIne but definitely my least favorite so far

Interlude : Dream, Reality

Ok, a bit more mellow now are we?

8/10, solid interlude, fit the album, and a nice break from all the intensity

so far away (feat. SURAN)

Oh, we’re ending mellow too

Nvm, we’re ending powerful

Love the guitar solo too

I really don’t know whether to rate this a 9 or a 10. It was so so good. And I genuinely can’t think of anything it could’ve done better, so…

10/10

[bylightofdawn]

So I started a rewatch of Witcher Season One because it's been a hot minute since I watched it. Pretty sure I only watched it when it aired so my memory is definitely not as great as it should be. Things standing out to me:

1) I still continue to detest the hefty garbage bag armor Cahir/Nilfgaar soldiers where in this season. It is such a STRANGE choice. Yes, boiled leather armor did exist (Which I'm assuming is what this is supposed to be yet why they go from this to plate mail for the other seasons is beyond me) but it I've never seen an example that looks like that. But boiled leather armor that was embossed and sculpted is a thing that happened in history so I'm willing to admit it might be out there but holy shit it looks like wrinkled up black garbage bags. It's also shit armor compared to the plate armor Cahir is rocking in later seasons but that's neither here nor there. LOL I wonder if there's some behind the scenes stuff with the series armorer about the choices they made. I'd actually be interested to see that. I geek out over historical armor in case ya'll can't tell.

2) I forgot how much I DETESTED the random way they were jumping all over the timeline and how fucking LOST I was the first time through. There's really no reason to literally have three+ parallel time lines running all at the same time. It CONFUSES your audience. Especially when you get to the flash back scenes where Geralt ends up in Cintra for Duny's whole Law of Surprise thing with Pavetta before Ciri is even born yet we're following Ciri in the same episode. I just....that was a Choice. A ballsy one and one I question even now. Especially since they immediately do a switch to a pretty linear timeline for seasons 2 & 3.

3) Rewatching the stuff with Duny and Pavetta now knowing what I know about Emhyr is just.... SO ICKY AND UNCOMFY. The whole 30 year old man marrying a 15 year old is hard enough to swallow but he clearly spent a year seducing her and it's just.....BLECH. I try and put aside modern sensibilities as much as I can when engaging in historical fiction but that one is pretty hard to swallow. And then of course the incest and yeaaaaah there's a lot of uncomfy stuff in this series. I was talking to Lisia about how I keep forgetting how grimdark and bleak the show is in between seasons only to get smacked in the face with it.

4) I really want a spin off series with Renfri. She is such a FASCINATING character and APPARENTLY, she was a bastardized version of Snow White??? Fuuuuuck I want more of that but alas, I know that's just a pipe dream doomed for failure.

I'm only on episode 4 so we'll see what I pick up in the second half of the series. I'm sure I will have some more lukewarm takes.

[thegongoozlerreacts]

Welcome Home (Part 4)

part 4 !! gonna finish going through the site and work out all the secrets (hopefully)

spoilers under the cut

ok so i was going through and re-opening all the secrets and !! i was showing my brother the 'You' page from The Neighborhood, talking about how i couldnt believe i missed this the first time i went on The Neighborhood

then i went to the so below page wondering 'hmm is this different' cuz i know i looked at it last time but i only really glanced at it and gUESS WHAT

spiral. a spiral got drawn in and im so mad i didnt wait the first time but its ok! i found it now

leads to a page called 'Neighbor'

OH!! THE RECORD IS SHAKING !!! so this is important definitely

no Wally BUT it is a series of sounds that must have come from Home because thats the only character who cant talk and is said to communicate through sounds

also im pretty sure that its morse code but i have no idea how to transcribe it so,,,, i might try later or just find the answers somewhere else LOL

the sounds in question are clicks and squeaks, so im pretty sure the clicks are dots and the squeaks are dashes

but other than that ive got no idea dude LOL

well thats interesting why is it like that

OH MY GOD THERE ARE TRANSCRIPTS !!!! I GOT THIS BY COMPLETE ACCIDENT I WAS JUST TRYING TO PAUSE THE VIDEO OMG !! well now i have to check all the other bug videos

oh my god i knew there was something off about that little gray rectangle at the bottom of the video holy shit

looking at the transcript for Sally and Julie in a play, and at the end Sally calls Wally 'walliford' which is insane actually

ok now onto the merchandise page !!

oh my god its a real life telephone

ITS A FUCKING BOX !!!

u dont understand this is insane

i fucking love Welcome Home and all the art in it so cool

OH MY GOD THERE'S AUDIO FOR IT HOLY SHIT

Wally's audio isnt available cuz its got a glitch hmmmmmm hmmm

this is so cool though

ok so i was just hovering my mouse over all the buttons and actually you can click the red button which is Wally's button which leads to a page called 'duet'

im not gonna listen to that yet because i wanna see all the stuff on the merchandise page first

i will be going from right to left (pink/Julie button to purple/Eddie button)

so Julie is as cute as ever LOL its funny that she immediately assumes the silence is some kind of game also how would Quiet Sandwich Jumprope work?? i lowkey want to play just to see how it would work

next up is orange which is Sally !!

i love Sally she's so dramatic LMAOAO yes Sally u ARE taking the words out of my mouth also like where did that 'ta-da' sound come from?? does she just have a ta-da sound effect button on hand or something ??? thats hilarious i can totally see her doing that new headcanon

next up is yellow which is Frank !!

this is so funny its the way that Frank gets so mad when he thinks its Barnaby and its the way he was like 'well if this is Barnaby I'll 'prank' him by telling him about butterfly sleep!' like yes amazing prank Frank (oh hey that rhymed)

next up is green which is Poppy !!

aww Poppy ur so cute even tho ur like british?!?!? (jk on the british thing) she's so nice and polite even tho she like dropped the telephone she's still so polite like 'oops sorry i have to go have a nice day though!' i love her

next up is blue-green (??) which is Howdy !!

"...Actually, I do have plenty of time in stock, it’s in aisle two next to the bananas. But …I call ‘em cuckoo clocks!" ok thats funny u got me Howdy i love that there's two jokesters in the cast (more fuel for my Barnaby x Howdy craziness)

next up is blue which is Barnaby !!

"I wouldn’t know, I wasn’t there! What do I look like, a BEE’s-dropper?" Barnaby and Howdy are both absolute clowns, their immediate reaction to silence is tell a joke also every audio i hear of Barnaby reminds me more and more of Sans from Undertale LAMOAOAO

next up is purple which is Eddie !!

"Whether letter or parcel, whether rain, snow, or shine, we weather the weather and never decline!" he has a jingle thats so cute "..I’m starting to think nobody’s there… Wait… I can’t remember if the phone was ringing… Maybe I was going to make a phone call... But who would I call?" Eddie is such a himbo is that just me (also he'd call Frank cough cough)

next up is red which is Wally !!

ok so its different from the other duet that comes from the secret link 'hard to hear you think' huh,,,,,, "I hope you saw a friend, but I’m not sure you saw a name... Stand still. Let’s start over." fascinating what does he mean by 'not sure you saw a name' also the 'stand still' thing is interesting because i think in one of the record audios he asks 'why are you still' or something

was going through the audios and oh hey theyres transcripts here too and a little hint that its morse code

HERE IT IS 'Will' fascinating fascinating

i love that there's transcripts for all the audio even the secret ones thats so cool

ok now onto the rest of the merchandise page LOL

LETTERSSS

also bug spotted !!

the open letters are all addressed to Wally, one from Frank about a bug and one from Howdy about paint its really cute

"It seems as though whoever enjoyed this playset had a grand time pretending to mail letters to their favorite Playfellow puppets!" or maybe,,, u just have real letters actually written BY the characters and ur just going thru their mail pretty sure thats illegal LOLOL

OOH !! SO COOL

i love the art

listened to the audio and holy fucking shit !!! THEYRE ALL SO CUTE DUDE I LOVE ALL OF THEM

FRANK: [Frank looks down at him, rotating his head a bit as if to shake it.] You always did work too hard.

EDDIE: Wha? Huh?

FRANK: I’m going inside. Enjoy the ground, Mr. Dear.

EDDIE: Alrighty! S-say, uh, before you go, any chance I could get a hand gettin’ up-- [door closing sound] oh, you’re gone. That’s fine! I’ll, uh, get to pickin’ myself up… before the cows come home, heh-heh.

that,,, sorry i just ship Frank and Eddie so hard LMFAOOAOAOAOO

"You always did work too hard." what does this mean Frank how would u know that unless u been watching him hmmm 🤨 heheheh

i would love to hear the rest of the audio where Eddie attempts to (or does actually) lift up Poppy, Howdy and Home because that would be SO funny

bug spotted

OMG WALLY PUPPET IN THE REFLECTION !!!!!!!

this is so fucking cool they made records i cant believe it

the audio is all fucked up but still !!! so cool !!

CEREAL !!!

honestly in-universe this must have been an INSANELY popular show if its got records, toys, storybooks and fucking cereal made for it like ??? and all of this is LOST media????? what the fuck happened!?!??!?!?

AND A COLORING BOOK !!! i would love to have one of these

and then the Valentines Day cards which are all so cute

i dont see any drawings so i guess theres no Wally audio for this page

also bug spotted on the transcript page so i will watch that along with the bug video from the merch page (also no drawings on transcript page)

ok so merch bug video is funny LOL

Eddie being afraid of being jumped on by Barnaby hadnt even considered that dynamic between them bc Barnaby's a dog and Eddie's a mailman LMAOAOAO this video didnt end with Wally being asked a question on what he thinks but technically it still counts because he'd probably respond with what he thinks (question mark idfk what im saying)

next video

its Frank and Julie and I LOVE THEM I LOVE THEIR DYNAMIC SO CUTE GRAHHKDSKDJSJD

why are all these characters so cute stop it !!!! before i combust !!

now its time for the exhibition !!! so hyped !!

bug spotted but its hiding !! dont hide little fella !!

THIS IS SO FUCKING COOL,,, I WISH I COULD HAVE BEEN AT THE ACTUAL EXHIBITION HOLY SHIT

this is just so cool im losing my fucking mind

WHAT THE FUCK I DIDNT KNOW U COULD DO THIS

now i have to go back and look through the other pictures but like this

ok nevermind i think its only the exhibition page thats like this which makes sense

"Unlike many of the other neighbors, we have yet to find a Wally Darling puppet design sheet." hmmm interesting

Wally is three feet ?!?!? he's so small ?!?!??!

"The previous owner of this playset seemed to be channeling their best Frank Frankly in this charming doodle of one of Welcome Home's smaller residents!" hahaha...... yes its all just play and totally not real actual letters made by the real actual characters heehoo

OH MY GOD THERE'S A VIDEO HELP THAT SCARED ME LMAOAO

i was just showing my brother the exhibition pictures like 'LOOK !! THEY MADE REAL LIFE THINGS FOR THIS SHIT !!' and i was just moving between the pictures then the sudden appearance of the video jumpscared me LMAOAOAO my bad

[servin-up-surveys]

survey #174

The last time you ate leftovers, what was it that you were eating? Uhhhh maybe pizza?

What is your favorite board that you've made on Pinterest? there's zero fucking way i have a board that's just pictures of 50-60-y/o band members hell no no way

Do you get on Facebook or Instagram more? I CHECK Insta more, but I'm scrolling Facebook longer.

What was the last thing you ate or drank that was blue raspberry-flavored? Mountain Dew Voltage, but it's actually been quite a while since I had that one specifically, they're apparently really rare now and people are selling them for a fortune lol

What is one annoying thing your computer does? I hate when it randomly restarts over some error. It doesn't happen often, it's just annoying when it does.

What was the last song you listened to? "Black Wedding" by In This Moment & Rob Halford.

Have you discovered any new hobbies in the past couple months? No. It's seldom I discover new hobbies, honestly...

What's the wildest animal you've ever come in contact with? Well, define "contact;" I can read this as the wildest animal I've physically touched or just seen, and "wildest" can be taken in more than one way. The most surprising animal I've physically touched was a tarantula I guess, but the animal I've been most surprised to see in the wild was a mink, I think, and I didn't even get a good look at it. I'm not including zoo animals in this.

Do you trust your doctor? I trust my primary care physician, even though him being a man makes me slightly uncomfortable; he's a good doctor though that I've been with a good while so it's fine. I don't really have a relationship with my psychiatrist or worst of all therapist, honestly... Both my mom and I really hate the place I have to go to for insurance reasons, but I need SOMEbody in this department so we have no choice.

Do you ever question if your mother loves you? Absofuckinglutely not, I know she loves me with her whole heart and I consider myself unbelievably lucky to have that going for me.

Do you ever feel scared or unsafe around your dad? Not... really anymore, but at the same time, due to past experiences but also horrific nightmares about him, I can sometimes be uneasy if I'm with him and just him, even though I do know in my core he's no threat to me, got a pretty good feeling he'd protect me with his life. Maybe.

What is your favorite type of Lunchables? Absolutely nothing beats the nachos one.

Do you have someone you feel completely safe around? My mom and Girt.

What church do you go to? I don't attend church.

Are any of your siblings' friends like family to you? Basically yeah, in Allison's case. She's my younger sister's best friend/former housemate, and she's involved in some family events, like Ashley's kids' bdays. She was Ryder's very first crush lol, it's still a joke in the family how in love with her he's always been.

Do you have any friends who you exchange memes with? Lol Girt and I do this ALL the time, this is daily shit. Occasionally I will with Tez and Mazzy.

What was the last photo you took? It was Cookie all curled up looking cute as shit on Girt, she loves him. I could tell she was so ready for bed, lol.

Are you in any Discord servers? How often do you use them? I'm a member of literally one, the WoW Secret Finding Discord, but I haven't even clicked on its tab for like, years. I'm just in it if I ever feel like rare mount hunting with help.

Have you ever had to see an emergency vet after hours? Hmmm, I don't THINK so.

When was the last time you sat under a blanket on a couch? A few days ago with Girt.

Can you bite into ice cream or are your teeth too sensitive? I can now that I've had that one wisdom tooth with a really severe cavity taken out. It made nearby teeth agonizingly sensitive; the wisdom tooth itself didn't hurt, but apparently cavities that severe can radiate pain into other teeth, and holy fucking shit did it.

Do you like snowy winter days or do you prefer rainy days? I like snow much more! We don't get it all that much here, we often have a year without any, so I really enjoy it when it happens.

Do you know anyone who doesn't have a middle name? My boyfriend, but I'm pretty sure it's because he's a junior. His sister has a middle name, so.

What was the last thing you complained about? Probably cravings, it's that time of the month and I get really annoyed when my body desperately wants shit it doesn't need.

What celebrity irritates you the most? Elon Musk is up there, he's such a fucking arrogant asshole. I don't think there's one celebrity in specific that I REALLY hate though, the ones that annoy me in general are billionaires that do nothing beneficial for the world and instead hoard wealth. Actually wait, Donald Trump is 200% the top celebrity that I despise, like I would literally have given my life for this shithead to never have been in a position of influence. I like to forget he exists & kinda just did lmfao.

Have you ever watched the Superbowl all the way through? On my 16th birthday, yes; I was at Jason's place, and his dad was a ginormous Giants fan, so I sat out in the living room with the family. I had zero interest in it and was definitely bored, but I was just happy to be involved with my then-boyfriend's family.

Would you like to know the exact date of your death? Absolutely not.

What's on your to-do list for today? Nothing, really. I'm incredibly tired.

Do you know anyone who's been bitten by a snake? I might, idk.

Are you excited for Halloween? I always am, haha. Even if I don't really do anything anymore, I enjoy the vibe. I'd like to maybe do something with Girt this year though, like maybe a haunted hayride or something.

What makes you smile or laugh no matter what? My boyfriend for sure, it really doesn't matter what mood I'm in, he can get both out of me like it's nothing.

Do you prefer strawberries or cherries? Strawberries by far, they're my favorite fruit, meanwhile I despise cherries.

Biggest insecurity? My weight.

Have you ever had braces? Yes, I did for a longer time than I should've because we couldn't afford to get them off so some teeth on my bottom row overcorrected a tiny bit.

Do you feel awkward using public transportation? I certainly would if I actually took it; I don't take taxis, buses, trains, etc.; the only experience I've had with public transportation were plane rides, and I do in fact feel very uncomfortable walking down the aisle to get to my seat. Well I actually did take an Uber for the first time ever with my mom recently, but that's one, single, very brief experience in all of 27 years.

Describe your mom with one word. Selfless. To a fault.

Would you rather bake a cake or cookies? Cookies seem a lot easier.

What curse word do you use most? Almost certainly "fuck" of some form.

Were you always one of those kids who got in trouble with everyone around? No, I very rarely caused trouble as a kid.

When was the last time you took a nap? Did it relax you any? Today actually, and yes. I initially woke up too early.

Honestly, do you see yourself as a slut? Not at all; I am extremely selective with who I'm even remotely sexual with, but I also don't slutshame. Consenting adults can do whatever the hell they want with other consenting adults that are informed about any issues you may carry. I also aggressively encourage you be upfront about your goals relationship-wise; don't want something serious? Say it immediately. Not into only sole partnerships? Say it, immediately. You get it. Be honest and real about what you want.

Is there a secret you’ve never told your parents? Yeah.

What’s the hardest thing you’ve ever been through? The traumatic breakup of my first real relationship.

Do you like fast food or does it disgust you? Dude I'ma be real, fast food is some of my favorite stuff lol, I know that's an extremely unpopular opinion, but whatever. I still certainly avoid it though just for health reasons; I'd say we get someone out maybe just once a week.

Who was the last person you kissed? Girt.

What’s your favourite alcoholic drink? Sangrias.

Do you like the smell of BBQs? I actually really do, even though I dislike the food at most barbeques. Hamburgers and hotdogs are fine, but barbeque chicken, pulled pork, and stuff like that is where I'm out. Southern barbeques ain't for me.

Do you crash on people’s sofas often? Uh no, I've never done that.

Do wasps scare you? Yes, I really don't like how aggressive they are, and that stinger is too long okay.

Have you ever worn flip flops in the snow? lol sure have, but never in even remotely heavy snow. It was only ever to like, leave the house and get in the car though; I wouldn't wear flipflops for an extended period in snow.

Has anyone ever told you that you & your significant other could be siblings? Have they ever assumed you were siblings? Not my current one, no; we look pretty different. It was a joke with my mom that Sara and I were basically twins when we dated, but I don't think anyone ever actually thought we were.

Have you ever heard people having sex in the next room? Pretty positive yes. It was in the apartment when just me, Jacob, and Amanda were home, Jason was probably at work I guess, and from the living room couch I heard Things happening behind me lol

Have you ever been in a beauty pageant? No, I absolutely fucking despise them and their whole premise.

Have you ever lost your voice? Yeah, most recently when I had Covid some time last year. My voice was gone for quite a long time.

Museum date or aquarium date? Aquarium.

Did you ever have an emo or scene phase? Haha you know it.

Name a subject you know a lot about. I probably know most about meerkats, or Silent Hill stuff.

Most embarrassing poster you’ve ever owned? I don't think I've had one I'd be embarrassed by.

Could you see yourself having a child with the last person you kissed? Yeah I could, but it's not something we want to do in the foreseeable future.

Who is your favorite person to have random conversations with? Girt, I love learning new stuff about him.

Who was the last person to make you feel embarrassed or uncomfortable? My mom, literally like an hour ago. She said something not realizing the topic is one I'm self-conscious about. I was really upset over it for a few minutes.

What are you known for? Most likely as the lazy deadbeat kid.

Which of the guys you’ve been interested in hurt you the most? Idk if I've mentioned a "Jason" before in these????????????

Do you know anyone who is engaged? Yes, my high school friend Kelly recently got engaged to her long-time boyfriend, and I'm stoked for her. She's been so in love with this guy and she deserves the world.

What is your relationship status on Facebook? In a relationship with Girt, but pending after nearly two years lmao. It's not something he hides or anything, he just barely touches Facebook and by now the notification would be buried under like, hundreds of others, because at some point he ticked some setting that notified him when I merely post anything, and with how much shit I share, he's never finding it lol. I would only be bothered by this if it wasn't for the fact his behavior fully shows we're together, and how he acts toward me doesn't change in front of others.

What are you listening to? I'm watching/listening to WoolieVS' LP of Dark Souls.

What was the last thing you looked up on Google? What a mudslide drink is, actually for that earlier question. I had something like that at Sara's place years ago and it was fuckin magical lol, but I never asked what exactly it was, but that one seems the most likely.

Ever been kissed on the leg? Uh maybe? I can't remember a specific occasion though.

Last person to hear you cry? Either Mom or Girt probably, idk.

What do you think of the term plus-sized in modeling? Is it empowering or demeaning? It's demeaning as fuck; modeling is modeling. By adding the descriptor of "plus-sized," you're indebatably making it sound like the person isn't a real, ideal model.

Do you think you are ready to be on your own (have your own home, job, etc.)? Absolutely not entirely on my own, no. By now I really want to live with Girt, but without a source of income, I'd be very uncomfortable relying on him, even though he's told me he doesn't care. I care. I already fucking hate relying on the person that gave birth to me.

Has your ex ever gone out with someone close to you? No, not that I know of.

Are you friends with someone who’s autistic? My niece is, and I'm fucking finally getting evaluated for it myself at the end of this month. I, along with my mother and others that have watched me grow up, are very confident I have high-functioning Asperger's.

Have you ever had a Bic Mac? No, I'm not into lettuce on burgers, so it's a no by default.

Have you ever been to a convention? (comic, YouTube, etc.) I went to a reptile one/NARBC with Sara once, and I loved it, even though I struggled quite badly with my legs. I'd love love love to go to another, once my legs are a little bit better!

What is the biggest difference between you and your best friend? I'm way more emotional, while Girt is a very practical person. He has emotions, I've seen them, but he's much more in control of them than I am.

[softgumi]

"Okay uh

👉👈 rn

Mayhaps some yandere Albedo hcs? I'm lowkey interested but I haven't seen any yan. Alby (and him in general) so maybe?

(Its also because holy shit I love your writing style and would rlly love to see your take on this! Tyt though 💕)"

A/N: him and Diluc will always be my favorite characters, so of course! Also, that's so sweet, thank you sm <3

TW's: yandere content, some spoilers for his lore but it's pretty much common knowledge by now lol 

✧ having Albedo as a yandere is definitely odd. It's definitely a unique experience, and this is because he's so good at hiding his true feelings and intentions. Albedo isn't emotionless, not by any stretch of the imagination, but he'll let his darling believe that he is if it helps him in the long run. He doesn't rush things, and that's what makes Albedo so effective as a yandere. He knows what to do in order to get what he wants, and he's good at it, too. Albedo is smart, scarily so, and he knows it. 

✧ he's far from cruel, though. I can see him as the type to dote on his darling, just a bit. Albedo isn't as overwhelming as Kaeya or as overbearing as Diluc, but he has his own moments where his darling may be able to tell that something's off about him. It's easy for Albedo to evade their suspicion, though. He seems like a rather odd, cold person in the first place, so they may just take his more concerning moments as his usual peculiar self. Albedo really does nothing to hide his rather weird tendencies, so it's good that his darling more or less ignores it. 

✧ he loves being in his darlings company. Albedo may not be the most affectionate yandere, but he feels the most at peace when he's with his darling. He finds their presence calming, and them being around usually helps him focus on his work. Due to this, Jean and higher ups usually send his darling up to Dragonspine to keep Albedo company. He'd never complain, of course, he just worries that they might make the wrong turn and end up freezing to death somewhere in the snow. 

✧ that being said, he always has an eye on his darling, no matter how busy he may be.

~✧~

Pale blue eyes trail over the worn pages of a textbook, gloved fingers fiddled with separate vials, and Albedo could feel his foot tapping involuntarily on the cold, snow-covered ground. He couldn't feel it himself, but he could tell by the shivers from Sucrose that the weather in Dragonspine was bad today, he could tell also by the howling, dry wind just outside of their cave where they experimented. 

'They're late,' he thought, his eyes flicking to the entrance of the cave once again. To an outsider, he probably just looked bored, as he always did, but Sucrose knew him better. She hoped that they'd arrive soon, so Mr. Albedo would stop tapping his foot erratically. It was making her nervous. 

Jean and the higher ups had been sending (Name) up here for months, to aid the Chief Alchemist in his research. They had other matters to attend to in Mondstadt, like helping out Diluc with the tavern, or looking after Diona and Klee, so as much as he'd like to, Albedo couldn't keep them up there all of the time with him. He wouldn't do it anyway, it was much too cold for them up in Dragonspine. 

Albedo's ears perk up when he hears an irritated huff, a familiar sounding one at that. 

He smiles gently before moving from his desk. The cold floor reflected his steps as he turned around. He could feel a flutter in his chest, something he'd come to adore, once he laid his eyes on the person he loved the most. They were shivering, but their familiar, unwavering smile charmed him as always. 

"You've finally arrived, I was... getting worried."

[safyresky]

I'LL GO FIRST!!!

BUT FIRST! LET ME JUST SAY! WHOLLY FUCKING SHIT?!?!?! THE DETAILS?!?!?! WHAT A MASTERPIECE!!!! 🤩🤩🤩 I hope you had as much fun arting it as I am LOOKING AT IT. It's a feast for my eyes, look at all the DEETS. holy shit i love fashion time. i love dressing up the blorbos. holy SHITTT.

ANYWAY

THOUGHTS ON JACQUELINE (and co. to a lesser extent) being in the WILD WEST. After some gushing.

FIRSt off, love that Killian thrives in the wild west. THAT checks out :3

HE LOOKS SO HAPPY I JUST WANT TO ALWAYS SEE HIM HAPPY

LOVE that Elle's tinkering with the thing as they go! Very on brand for her and also the RoE parrallels with B doing the same thing have me like AHHHHH (barfs heart emojis)

AND I AM SO SURE SHE WILL MANAGE TO FIX THAT THING! SHE'S GONNA SHOW FATHER TIME'S WATCHES WHO'S BOSS. HER. IT'S HER. SHE'S GONNA GET EM!!!!

MEL'S FIT! AH! MEL! I love that she plops onto Jacqueline! K and I have had many a chat and the two of them very much do plop on one another a lot. (they get rather close, though I'll defer to @kscribbs for matters on Melusine the Watery Queen!)

Using THAT to segue a bit into group dynamics bc I HAVE thought about the four of them SINCE the very first beautiful hangout post of them AND! 100% the whole reason this group hangs out is Jacqueline. 100%!!

She's the glue lmao. She's so silly and determined and brushes any negativity right off her shoulders that she somehow manages to wrangle the three of them on an ooting every so often and it is literally on her Magical-CV I'd bet lmao

"Proficient in swords. Great communicator. Organized. Able to bring the most unlikely of teams together."

She probably starts with Elle or Mel; recruiting the girlie she HADN'T started with after that is usually easy, and then Killian gets dragged into it somehow

Idk WHY or HOW Jacqueline manages to influence him but it seems she does? @lmelodie you're the expert there, so I'll leave that to your discretion ;)

Jacqueline's just a force to be reckoned with, I suppose!

NOW. JACQUELINE IN THE WILD WEST

She didn't actually GO out west at ALL. 100% avoided it because it sounded too hot and not fun and a likely spot for running into Big Bothers who, at the time of the wild wild west, would have gotten PRETTY BANGED UP upon a run in with the Little Flurry!

So she deffs avoided it lmao

SO. IN THIS SCENARIO. I IMAGINE SHE IS VERY EXCITED TO EXPERIENCE IT! Probably asking Kills all sorts of q's about it, which is either gr8 for him bc one of his fave times or really very annoying. It could go either way, I suppose, but again, you're the expert! I defer that to you! :)

She 100% treats it like Piracy, but on land with horses and carriages and a lot more guns

Which I think she isn't the best at using but tries her darndest!

The MOMENT she gets her hands on swords or knives or bludgeoning weapons though, she's UNSTOPPABLE. Whatever badies are chasing them here aren't gonna know WHAT hit them

(snow. and then a baseball bat or something HEAVY. Lead pipe? Candlestick? Stolen blacksmith's tools?)

I just know she's gonna compare driving the coach to steering/keeping a ship on course I can hear her already

"Not as intuitive as a ship, but like. Same diff. DEFFS prefer a car, I will say, but you gotta do what you gotta do when you're in the old west. Oh, hey! A lead pipe! Tucking THAT away for later"

hehehe

Someone in the wild west probably owes Jack money and comes after Jacqueline about it

(One of her Legate tasks is keeping track of people who owe jack money, people jack owes money to, people who want to kill jack, people who want to kill her, people who want to kill the both of them, people SHE'S accidentally pissed off, and so on and so forth lol)

And THAT'S why she kept the lead pipe on hand! 😉

Weather/power wise, she will most likely be keeping up an area of effect so she stays cool and everyone within 5 feet of her stay cool like some kinda dnd shit, but I'm sure she'll get tuckered out and a bit cranky. Possibly hangry, too

100% she's sprite sleeping after THIS excursion

"That was AWESOME" She yells, before passing out on the spot probably in Mel's house or Elle's house lmao

They just throw a blanket on her and leave her there--not the first time she's done this, and certainly won't be the last I imagine lmao

The saloon doors swing open with a worn creak with their entry. The patrons inside barely batting an eye at the two women who enter. The terrible desert heat has melted most of Jacqueline's frost off her at this point, blending in more with the rest of the folks around here. Her and Elle both look over the hourglass in Jacqueline's hands. The sand unnaturally halted in space mid pinch point, neither flowing down nor shifting, no matter which way she turns it over in her palm.

"Why is Father Time's stuff always so finicky?" Elle asks. "And I mean like ALL of his stuff is just so touchy and for what?"

"I know right! He calls it timey wimey nonsense and as accurate as that description is, not an excuse for all his shit to go haywire this often."

The pair only have a second to linger in the doorway before they’re split down the center. Killian moves past them with Mel tossed over one of his shoulders, limp and dehydrated, cloudy in the eyes. Both girls stumble to the side as he bulldozes past them, this time garnering the attention of the saloon goes. 

However few are there this early in the day, they all cast concerned glances to each other, watching the stranger cross the length of the building to the bar at the back wall, depositing the other stranger onto a stool. A few onlookers letting out a sigh of relief when the woman manages to sit herself up and confirms her own mortality.

Jacqueline's brow furrows, handing the hourglass to Elle before following the both of them to the bar.

"Keep the drinks coming for this one, been out in the sun too long," Killian drawls to the tender, "She's got a bit of the visions goin'. As many as it takes, and sprinkle in a few beers for her too. I'll take care of the tab at the end of the night."

The barkeep shrugs as his only nonchalant confirmation.

Killian takes his hat off and sits next to Mel, just in time for Jacquline to do the same on her other side, holding her shoulders as she sways slightly.

"Kills I told you; I can keep her hydrated.”

“There's only so much snowballs can do in a desert Jacqueline.”

“Hey, I have never come across a problem that can't be solved with a couple dozen snowballs! I use them so much for a reason.”

All three briefly pause as a tall glass and a taller mug of beer slide across the countertop to Mel and Killian respectively. Mel takes the glass without hesitation, gulping down the drink in record time with a satisfied huff. A tint of color returns to her eyes, spinning a pointed finger in the air and sliding the empty glass, "HOH! Good stuff. Another, please barkeep.”

“Plus, I highly doubt that you can keep making ice out of thin air when it's 103 out here.”

Jacqueline's nose scrunches, “I can go as long as I want out here! Summer sprite blood comes in handy for that, you underestimate me?!”

“A little,” he punctuates the sentence with drowning the first half of his own drink.

Jacqueline grumbles to herself, snagging the second glass sliding down to Mel before it gets to her. She takes a sparing glance around the mostly empty establishment, waiting until the bartender has his back turned, and holding a clenched fist over the cup before dropping three summoned ice cubes into the water. She makes direct eye contact with Killian. He rolls his eyes; Mel takes the glass without comment.

It was then that Elle gently intersected herself between the other two women, “Hey so, bad news, I have no idea how to fix this thing.” The elf sidles over to Mels other side to take her own seat, “It's not like any of his other stuff where there's mechanics inside it or something, I just can't figure it out.”

“Huh. Well, I guess we have ample time to figure it out if nothing else.”

Mel, already finishing her third glass, finally pipes up, a bit more life in her form than a few minutes ago, “Oh no, I'm sorry ladies, but I cannot stay here in this dry pit of despair for any longer than I must. Water is too sparse here and I feel like a piece of wilted flora.”

“Very fair. Mel, we will not let you get shriveled up—”

“—Again,” Elle adds apologetically.

“Again.”

“To be fair, I might've let my pride get in the way of that one. Should've told you sooner, really.”

“Girl, it’s fine. Everything will be fine, we'll get this hourglass working again and we can all go home,” Jacqueline assures her.

Mel sighs and falls over to lean against Jacqueline's side, “at the very least, even without the ice on the outside, you still run very cold.”

“Thanks! It comes in handy,” she cheerfully responds, wrapping an arm around her and pulling Killian in as well to share the cold. He immediately pulls away in favor of finishing his first drink of the night.

OOH BOY, you y'all remember that little project I mentioned I was doing here? Well, this is the FRIST HALF of that thang. WELCOME TO THE COWBOY ADVENTURE BABYYY LETS GOO

There was originally gonna be more of a story besides the little blurb up there, but I decided, fuck it, too impatient, I've been laboring away at this for TOO LONG I don't have more time to write a proper one shot of this right now lol

The top illustration absolutely took me SO LONG to complete, I really fucked myself over for doing a STAGECOACH AND TWO HORSES!

But allow me to get into some nitty gritty about this little adventure:

Killian's cowboy outfit has always been this way; this is always what he was gonna look like.

And he canonically LOVED the wild west era, was active for the entire thing, had an absolute BALL, pretty sure it was one of, if not his FAVORITE era. I imagine the rag he usually has tied around his foot was his old bandana from this time!

But conceptualizing the girls' outfits was SO FUN.

I had an inner debate with myself on whether or not Mel would be wearing pants for this adventure, and something maybe a little more femme and historically accurate.

But I found out what a Victorian Cycling fit looks like and it was PERFECT for her. Still moveable but almost a little nerdy looking in some kind of way, and just a looking just enough out of place for where this is taking place in.

I also kind of had this same dilemma with Jacqueline, because she really does rock the chaps, I was tempted to make that her ft but ended up with a more Annie Oakly (A famous sharpshooter) looking skirt.

And because her brother already has the chaps in my personal style catalogue and I didn't want them to be TOO matchy in the meta

And because Killian is still on probation from the LAST time he drove, I got to do a little nod to this piece where the sibs are in the same situation. Having them make similar faces in this scene gave me such joy >:)

Elle I pretty much got on the first try.

I tried out the jacket and hat on the second one, but what I've found is that she really pulls off the bustled skirt look. Changed out the lace for the stripe pattern and she's good lol (and ended up making her skirt green in the illo because it would've blended too much with the red coach.)

I think Elle is actually gonna be the sharpshooter in this group! Kills ends up giving her the shot gun and she handles it pretty well!

I think this little chase scene ends when they abandon the coach and jump onto a moving train to escape.

[descendantofthesparrow]

Ze girls

Mal is naturally around, lets say 5ft 8 (she kinda tall have you seen her mom?) with the boots its +3 so she would be around...5ft 11, yeah, she tol. Evie issss probably around 5,5? i think thats how tall sofia is soooo plus 3inches shes 5ft 8, yeah that sounds about right idk but lets say it is. XD 

also, you can see Mal is standing pretty...awkwardly, she aint human, she dont know how to do human so she stands weirdly and her eyes arent human (she can do this freaky stare that legit makes people walk away cuz its weird, they also are reflective, imagine going into the kitchen and then suddenly two eyes in the darkness are just staring at you like a cat) she doesn't blink alot...yeah...gurl got fangs too. this Mal has a pretty hard time processing human emotion, she is not human so she doesn't exactly know how to deal with their emotions but shes learning (at first thanks to Evie, Jay, Carlos, and then Ben helps her not be...not-empathetic around human emotion) yeah girly is weird but shes tryin lol

Evie, of course, is that classic pretty girl who is more than meets the eye, she; of course, is a witch and makes many types of potions and has a grimoire along with a mirror that can tell her where anything is at anytime in any place. Evie is a very naturally kind girl, even if her mother tries to teach her otherwise, Carlos (who will be redesigned and posted soon) is her very first friend after years of solitude (which is not at the prompt of mal, who didnt even know what a birthday party was and had no interest in it, EQ was just weird with Evie) and then befriends Jay, and lastly Mal, who tipped Evie off as a bit too weird and stayed away from her until Mal (multiple times) saved her life.(either from random gang members or the fated retrieval of the dragons eye (WHICH; mal did NOT plan to have evie grab, Mal doesnt exactly get why her mom wants to just be the worst but mostly mal kinda just...chills) 

Evie teaches Mal how to human (or at least be an okay person) and Mal helps Evie create spells and potions for her wip grimoire. their friendship is still a work in progress but one day they’ll be very good friends and while they do have some trouble with each other, they dont doubt their loyalty to each other and their boys. (under the cut is more info about them)

their personality's are both drawn from and unlike their canon selves, Evie is strong minded, smart, witty, just the tiniest bit bitchy (but in the best way) and kind. but she is not a push over and refuses to stand down from her opinion unless she sees it is in the wrong. and while she is kind she is not someone that will take on someone elses problems, metal or physical, it must be worth her time and self for her to step in, she is empathetic but she's also aware that no-one is worth destroying herself over. queen of chemistry, has made several poison's on purpose. plans to be head of the fashion world, while also reclaiming her mothers original kingdom (i think eq had her own kingdom??? SHE DID, she was the queen of another kingdom but married snows dad to stay in power! Evie is a full on princess?!?! holy shit!!! ah!? Evie my gurl you have a full on claim to a throne!) needs no prince just a man treating her like the queen she is. can fight very well, skilled in knives and daggers, has used her heels as a weapon before.

Mal, as ive said, is weird. she is slow on uptakes, takes a minute to understand things, just doesn't understand sarcasm, metaphors, things like that. is a very logical person, sensory issues, she is pretty smart , but she is the epitome of “all points in intelligence but none in wisdom” Evie and Carlos have the wisdom points and both have intelligence. Mal and Jay are just kinda vibing, tho Jay is very statically smart (helps with tourney.) she is immensely loyal, once you have her trust you have it forever, but once you break it you will never get it again, protective, accidently snarky/sarcastic (when Evie snickers at Mals deadpan mal is just like “?????”) verrrrry food drivne, always hugry (her metabolism is so fuking high, Evie is like ‘HOW DO YOU EAT A FIVE THOUSAND COURSE MEAL AND STILL BE HUNGRY?!’ meanwhile Mal is eating her fifth set of poptarts) head bonks, Evie and Carlos get gentle ones (Carlos does go for the hard ones tho, he is still an idiot teenage boy *affectionately*) while Mal and Jay just full on slam their heads into each other, Evie calls jay thick skulled becuase he somehow doesnt get a concussion from this, he has broken his nose tho. if mal isnt reading a book shes drawing, or playing with Evie or Jays hair.

uh, this somehow turned into a whole “what they would be like in my rewrite” somehow sooooo yeah, the boiz are next, probably gonna do the s3 too idk okay

oh and evie is inspired by @harriyanna​

monster thoughts: loloska

popo | name: Nana | prior familiarity: none i can’t belive this thing’s fuckin name is popo. third verse same as the first re: herbivores. unfortunately just a run of the mill fantasy mammoth, all you did was take the base animal’s most notable trait and skew it a little differently. 5/10

zamite/trios | name: Blastin’ | prior familiarity: plenty slapping a shark’s body onto some amphibian legs is a bold but surprisingly great pull. it works! really strong shapes, great color accenting, looks even cooler with ice armor. i’m not sure if it’s a great tactic for something with thin stretchy amphibian skin to go around rolling over stuff that’s as hard, sharp, and spiky as most of the other monsters in this series but i guess it works for him? bad to look at tho. 8/10 zamite is very good too, they’ve got a cute stance and i really like their armor. it’s a bit weird to me they lose it by the time they get to being zamtrios, but i do appreciate that trios’ ice armor takes more or less the same shape as zamite’s plating. different enough to get its own rating, 8.5/10, pet material *there’s a beta concept of zamtrios where it’s a basking shark and holy Shit why wasn’t that in as final. that makes so much more visual sense with the balloon thing....i guess i can understand it as a frog vocal sac played a little differently but i just like the basking shark way more lmao.

great/baggi | name: Scooter |prior familiarity: only its battle theme lol third verse same as the first re: theropods. while the visual flavor is at least different enough from jaggi to be distinct, it still uses the same base and animations so it’s like. eh. jaggi/10

lagombi | name: Shredder |prior familiarity: somewhat as an infamous hater of rabbits and rabbit-based designs, lagombi is actually pretty good. really dig the whole streamlined facial situation and the belly sled is a fun, if annoying to deal with, gimmick. brown fur ridges are a little silly and unnecessary imo but that’s a nitpick. looks absolutely ridiculous using its dash anywhere but on snow. 7.5/10

nargacuga | name: Betty |prior familiarity: plenty despite being one i liked a lot before playing any games, i just don’t have much attachment to this thing here? another whose flavor is probably hit pretty hard by stories’ rpg format; don’t get to see it do its cool nighttime ninja stuff. sleek solid design, nothing too wild but it accomplishes its idea very nicely. also it’s funny so much of its flavor is dedicated to being... cat. 7.5/10

barroth | name: FudgeCake |prior familiarity: none how is this thing speed type? that’s a fuckin Rock bro. definitely one of the Cool-type designs, but has a decent amount of its own flavor. lots of fun stuff going on with the face but weirdly the part i like the most is the growth ring sorta circles on the top of its crest thing. barroth succeeds where yian-kut-ku fails at having the head be the only really ‘special’ looking part with an otherwise fairly basic body. also really dig the way its coloring is done in stories. 7/10 jade barroth [name: Radio] is a very cool thing to run into the first time, but i generally prefer the standard colors

anjanath | name: Sarahhhh | prior familiarity: plenty that’s my MANS. ok look ive been giving the smaller theropods and the dinosaurs in general a lot of shit; and anjanath is, for all intents, Kind Of Just A T-Rex, but the thing is....... i just rly like anjanath ok. it’s the little things i think. the sunken fleshy look. the mouth that opens slightly too far. the funny furred ankle socks which i 100% did not know were a thing until seeing it in stories. just the general fact they made a pink ass t-rex. more than anything though i am always a slut for any kind of ‘movable’ or ‘hidden’ stuff on a design. if the nose cone and sails were there all the time as part of the default look i wouldn't care about them half as much but oohoooo babey seeing ‘em pop out when you know that thing is PISSED and ready to kill. ohohohohoho. awesome accenting to an already great design & i love that she is so pissed. 10/10

gypceros | name: Dorothy | prior familiarity: none uh oh lads this one is kind of bad. stiff and plastic-y looking body, unflattering colors, inexplicably mismatched ugly tail. i’d be totally willing to accept the tail if it had a Function, but without one the amount of visual emphasis on it as a distinct Part just feels misleading. i also do not like its teeth. the mechanism for its blinding/flashing gimmick is pretty neat but nothing else seems to gel with it, though i do appreciate the detail of its eyes being shot from the light.  2/10

conga/lala | name: Boober |prior familiarity: none turns out 'boob’ isn’t allowed as a name. the claws definitely feel unnecessary and detrimental, and hippo/ape is a really really unfortunate combo for me [both some of my least favorite animals irl]. the bizzarely bright pink/green and the farts are 100% not helping anything either. that chopping chattering noise it makes with its teeth is pretty neat but aside from that....ugh. 4/10 the design is decent enough but please go away

kecha wacha | name: Joe |prior familiarity: none EMPHATICALLY no familiarity. absolutely the guy who’s surprised me most. what the hell is that thing i am being attacked by a washcloth. during most of the fight i was unsure what to make of it but the ears thing made me instantly go oh this freak fucking rules [see previous: movable parts on a design lmao]. a delightfully unique face and it wears the bright colors very well. very hard to get me to like a monkey-based design but he absolutely has it. 9.5/10

nerscylla | name: Schroder |prior familiarity: none always hard to rate video game bugs. when they’re not being incredibly derivative, a lot of them tend to be over-complex and hard to parse without a lot of actual flavor, and i can’t really give them too much shit for it because irl bugs are also frequently complex and hard to parse. nerscylla falls to the latter category; it’s definitely Cool but it’s so hard to get a feel for it unless you’re seeing it in motion. that said, the crystals and helmet-looking head are cool, the mandibles are.... silly but well-utilized, and putting skin/webbing Between its legs is kind of a wild move that really helps give it its own identity. bit of a coward’s move to give it only 4 legs but tbh i would not want to model and animate more than that either so it’s whatever. funny how much better gypceros’ colors look on this thing than actual gypceros. 8.5/10

rathain | name: Chikn |prior familiarity: plenty actually i’m using this spot to talk about the about the story rathalos bc i forgot about him on the last post just like i do ingame :^) you’re not allowed to name your wimpy-winged child but in my heart his name is potato. rathalos is an impressively cool design, but i don’t have much to say about it since it’s kind of not doing anything besides Being A Really Cool Dragon. the wing shapes and patterns are definitely neat, but on the whole it gets outshined by the more out there concepts for me. i also dont particularly like how its face looks in stories jkfdjkgh. 7.5/10 rathain’s green is kinda gross and i don’t like the chin spike so she gets docked half a point despite getting to keep the cool wings.

khezu | name: Plumpp | prior familiarity: plenty why does it SNIIIIIFFFFFFF like that it doesnt even have nostrils... missed potential for some weird ass smell sensory organ i think. longer thoughts in another post; i don’t have anything against the design but it’s very not my thing. also since then i have learned it has wet schlorping noises for footsteps which is like Augh. 7/10. red khezu [name:Velvet] is silly looking in a fun way but i think white does the aesthetic better.

tobi-kadachi |name: Prius | prior familiarity: plenty goodbye forever ranmar lol. FUN guy this one, real spunky lookin’. viper/squirrel is a very random pick and i feel like there also might be some owl or maybe cat in its movements? at any rate it all works together super well and i love pretty much every part of this thing. it’s got the same alternating rows of fur and spines thing as zinogre and i have to wonder if there’s some specific thing they’re referencing with that motif... the skin flaps feel pretty tacked-on, and while flying squirrels and gliding snakes Do exist, i feel tobi’s tall stance and the way its legs are built makes it parse more like a cheetah. no harm in ‘em being there though, they’re still fun.   9/10

barioth | name: Teacup |prior familiarity: somewhat #2 silly running animation goes to this guy. i definitely like barioth but i don’t have much to say about it? kitty. fangs are good+strong as a defining trait, the back plating is great, color scheme is really nice. 8/10

legiana | name: Altair | prior familiarity: plenty i honestly... have no clue what this thing is supposed to be. hawk/nudibranch? whatever it is it fucking rules, all around incredibly fun and unique shapes painted in stunning colors and accenting. trying to find anything more specific to say about it but it just comes back to its shapes are soooo gooooood. 10/10

seltas/queen are the only unrideables so no cut lol. ok so monhun also has this thing of making guys walk on thier knuckles with part of the limb folded back inwards and it bothers me. kecha, congala, any wyvern that uses its forelimbs to walk; it just looks so uncomfortable, especially when there doesn’t seem to be any kind of specialization on most of them for being able to safely put so much weight on a joint [wyverns at least have wingfeet usually but...]. seltas queen is absolutely the worst about this. WHY do the feet bend inwards!!! it looks not uncomfortable but unstable! you’re rollin all around on those things! just have them bend outwards like a normal bug you literally don’t need to change how they're built at all! that aside this duo and their sword/shield motif rules. seltas is a bit hard to parse just ‘cause it has like no thorax area for the relatively large legs to attach, but tbh it doesn’t matter ‘cause the head crest thing is all it has and needs. seltas queen is just TANKED from every angle and i love that shit. the way the pincer mandible things puzzle piece with the upper shell and hide most of its body w just the eyes peeking though, while still being mobile. mwa. big fan also of how the top is just, flat. like its just fucking flat. the tail feels a little unnecessary, but i’ll admit that’s probably just my bias for mech-walker style quadrupeds speaking [gigalith is my fave pokemon lol] since it lessens that look. regardless, it’s a perfectly cool feature and there’s nothing actually wrong with it being there.  9/10, incredibly funny they hit you with a monster that can also use ride on+kinship attacks
