#a level mocks

[thefangedstoryteller]

i've just done my first ever mock exam today... and i'm not feeling so good about it and it definitely didn't help that my stomach was making noises during the exam a couple of times when the whole room was silent.

Bloodied Up Franco:

[Idea, gameplay, and some diolog. 🔞⚠️ very mature/Outlast typical themes below]

Il Bambino is more than a moniker

Theme: Unwanted Pregnancy

Franco stalks around a new environment lovingly named “The Nursery”. Washed out pastels and twisted symbols of maternity cling to its walls. Grunt corpses litter nearly every room with their stomachs bloated and cut open with an animalistic roughness.

You must collect mannequins from the bodies of the grunts and deliver them to the trash compactor. There's just one catch, lupara has been taken away and the baby is mad without his toy.

Franco is able to hide within the grunts and can attack the player similar to pouncer although he will actively chase until losing sight of the player. At which point he will begin his patrol and will randomly hide within grunts as he does.

You begin the trial and Franco can be heard crying in the distance. (Genuinely crying, not going wahh).

Dialog:

Intro/Cutscene

[A naked Franco is seen burrowing his way into a grunts corpse in the distance]

“It's gettin’ cold in here.”

“Baby needs warmth.”

“Mama.. Hold me.”

“[whimpering/soft crying]”

First Encounter

[Franco pouncing on the player and attempting to strangle them]

“WAHHHH WAHHHH!”

“YA LOOK WARM!”

“LET'S PLAY!”

“I JUST NEED A HUG!”

Patrolling

“You take my toy!? Touch MY lupara!? I'll rip your throat out!”

“You think I can't hurt you huh? I'll show you..”

“Baby wants to play, get back here!”

“I'LL SHOW YOU WHAT A MAN IS!”

“Slick..Wet…Warm. Just what I need.”

“You don't know what a man is. None of you do.”

“Lupara…Lupara… Baby will find ya, don't worry.”

“You look ripe.”

“I just wanna curl up, I just need a place ta rest.”

“I CAN'T FIND IT! IM GONNA LOSE MY FUCKIN’ MIND!”

“I just think it's nice. Who don't wanna be in their mother again?”

“I ain't crying. I ain't.”

“So cold, baby's so cold.”

“Yeah mommy, let me in.”

What Deku doesn't understand is that the “League of Villains” encapsulates exactly who Tenko - the Crying Child Deku was so adamant about saving - is. He thinks reaching out a hand, smashing that hatred, and saving Tenko means getting Tenko to abandon the League. He is completely wrong - and he would've realized this if he just talked to Shigaraki in all the time he fought against Shigaraki. And listened to what Tenko said in Chapter 418.

The League of Villains is the group Shigaraki Tomura created in order to wreck shit and kill All Might and bring down Hero Society. Shigaraki picked the name and picked the purpose and picked its members and he leads them towards the apocalypse—

—and this is also the group of outcasts that are his comrades and friends; that he gathered and created a place for, where they can be themselves in a society that ruthlessly denied them that. He accepted Twice without care for his insanity and inability to use his quirk, never pushed Twice to do more than he was able to. He accepted Spinner despite being a Stain fanboy and having a weak, nearly useless quirk, and promised him the destruction of the world that hurt him; for all of League. When Toga was pushed by the other members to choose a Villain name despite wanting to live as herself, as Toga Himiko, Shigaraki spoke up in indirect defense of her choice, providing himself as an example of someone who didn't use a Villain name, and who can override the boss' words? Dabi was allowed to come and go as he pleased, and although he was the most aloof member, by the end, he was declaring the world burn for "our" sake - plural; the League's. Mr. Compress believed in Shigaraki enough to entrust an ancestor's dream and family legacy to him; when surrounded by Heroes at Jaku, he was willing to die to save Shigaraki, to let him escape.

The League is a collection of people that Shigaraki cares for - that he saved. That was always the surest sign that ‘Tenko’, sweet and kind and hero-aspiring boy, was alive inside.

Without the League, without having seen the time Shigaraki spent with the League, a reader can just write off Shigaraki and say there’s nothing left in there worth saving. The League is literally the evidence for Tenko have still existed and that Shigaraki was "worth" saving, long before we ever saw ‘Inner Tenko’.

But Deku doesn't understand that.

To go further: outside of the League, Shigaraki still had his distorted but undeniable kindness and fairness. I've spoke about it before, and sorry for repeating myself, but even towards his Villain enemies, he gives them consideration: Shigaraki left Overhaul crippled, but 100 chapters later, he's still continuing Overhaul's work - the quirk erasing bullets - and even laments that Overhaul would be disappointed when Shigaraki sees some of the bullets destroyed. All For One at Jaku tries to take over his body, at the time seemingly only a phantom voice in his head, but Shigaraki still acknowledges that he's grateful AFO took him in. It's only when AFO oversteps that again and again, taking possession of his body, that Shigaraki would tear the AFO vestige from inside out and mock him when the opportunity arises.

And there's ReDestro, and the importance of the ending of MVA. RD and his army picks a fight with Shigaraki - something that Shigaraki explicitly points out; the blame for what happened to Deika is on largely them. RD challenged Shigaraki and the League; blackmailed them, kidnapped their broker, and attacked their pitiful 6-member team with a town-sized militia; insulted Shigaraki, destroyed The Hands, tried to kill him. Shigaraki had every reason to just dust RD while the man was sitting there bleeding out with his legs cut off. Just finish him off without even giving the guy last words. It was more than fair.

But Shigaraki didn't. He went and talked to RD. To mock him for picking this fight, but it was still a talk. And when RD acknowledge his defeat and kowtowed, Shigaraki let him live. Took over his army and resources, but RD was still alive and even made lieutenant.

Without this - if Shigaraki had just dusted RD after defeating him - we would have only seen Shigaraki as a conquerer and not someone who can be reasoned with. He would just be AFO with different minions. And Shigaraki wasn't.

He can be brutal, and he seems like he's destroying for evil fun; but Shigaraki has his compassion and justice. A Villainous Hero for the Villains. It's why he destroys; it's why he doesn't regret his actions, why he wishes good luck to Deku to continue it, even after Deku smashed his core of anger and hatred. Shigaraki saved his League, and he refuses to disavow doing so. Because he shouldn't.

And Deku just doesn't understand that.

MADAPARTY THEME 8: HUMAN.AU

. . . Hehe :3

(My yapping under the cut, xd)

I experimented with shadows and lightning a bit. And... I like it :b

The song lyrics in the background are from: "Romantic Homicide" and from "Hug all Ur friends" bc I like them, and they fit.

At least kinda.

Bonus: some of my quick headcanons for mutant!Skipper as a human (I have no damn idea how a movie would be translated to human.au, but idc that much, xd):

He has messed up pupil and/or iris in at least one of his eyes, xd

Finally is much taller -> like 2m tall or more (6'5 ft) - where normally is around 1,63m (5'3 ft). Ofc, the rest of mutated penguins would also be accordingly taller :b

Is always slouching bc his crab (I think it's crab, xd) hand is "quite" heavy :b

And that would be it.

For now.

(I just don't have anything else coherent in my mind rn =3=)

[thefangedstoryteller]

who else got mocks this week and the one after?😭💀

[s-exy]

Unpopular opinion but I'd rather Kevin be single in the end than w Thea ....

I dont wanna hear the "u have no reason to hate her" speech either bc u won't change my mind so there's no point arguing abt it

[dangeroustaintedflawed]

i literally don’t know how 2 study .. i wasn’t built 4 the academic life . i was born 2 do fuck all

[wallbeatjournal]

Are true riverdale fans of the opinion it is a very good and nearly flawless show or does being a true riverdale fan mean being able to mock writing choices

it's long-running serial television plotted a season/half at a time so definitely not even "nearly" flawless.

BUT. i'm not doing combat with the writing team. i'm not actively reading against the text the way i have to in order to enjoy something like supernatural or the 90s robin comics or the fucking sopranos, which are patriarchal christiancore copworld rapeworld white supremacist horrorshows that hate their minority audiences, with like 2 good creatives involved and martyring themselves to fight the good fight on sparse rare installments if you try to approach them sincerely.

riverdale writing staff are like a favorite smart problematic tumblr mutual to me. I don't always like what's on their blog or who they're referencing. but we're in the same community and i'm interested and inspired and i trust their agenda overall, even when i see shit i wouldn't have fucking posted. but bc i'm not being condescended to or actively spited i'm not gonna condescend to or spite them, you know?

i expect rvd to age like twin peaks (another very uneven, highly referential serial juggling a couple of intensely cool metanarratives on top of its core story). and twin peaks fandom mocks twin peaks all the time. twin peaks includes some CLUNKY shit. it's kitsch. it's camp. it has a second season that is largely ASS. james is there. and on top of that it also includes some genuinely offputting-to-me stuff that just bothers me to sit through, even though i feel like i understand and respect what they're going for with it. i just don't want to watch someone sweep the fucking bar for minutes and minutes as entertainment. OK!!?

...so yeah. mock riverdale but in the right spirit. is that an answer? do i sound like i'm chugging the flavoraid koolaid fresh-aid? probably.

Tired. Very very tired. And physically just completely falling apart. But- it looks like I’ll be able to work on the mock exams tomorrow which is a huge win (and definitely needed)!! If my time management works out I might join the math crash-course tomorrow, despite having 5 weeks until I’m taking my math final. Seeing my friends there would at least be fun

[akixne]

I should NOT be scrolling through f1 tumblr, at 20 minutes past midnight, during mock exam week of all weeks 💔💔

[mikkeneko]

Wonder if anyone has yet done a bit where Xie Lian wanders into a town and attempts to set up busking only to bump into the very peculiar radish seller on the corner next to him

[heyimkana]

This panel always cracks me tf up look at how clueless jinwoo is (sweet boy honestly) while his sister is just straight-up talking shit about him right in front of his salad 😭
