#nerd for hire

[berf-a-smurf]

Hello everyone,

I really hate to do this at the beginning of the most stressful month of the year but I don’t know what else to do.

My city’s job market has not been kind to me and so I’ve taken up streaming games to build an audience to make some money. But that hasn’t gotten that far yet. I’m scrambling for ideas to meet my bills at the end of December and for January, so I come to you through the power of Tumblr.

I have a few ventures I would appreciate you considering:

TheFirstJOman streams on Twitch and YouTube; donations through PayPal and Kofi

MWAC photos for wallpapers, prints, and et cetera

Logicality web design, Windows applications, and IT support (PLEASE only reach out via email, and PLEASE do not use/share my listed number maliciously)

All of these I offer in hopes you can get something in return for your money.

I currently need:

CA$864.00 for January rent

2x CA$107.59 for December and January internet

CA$126.01 for January car insurance

About CA$100 for December electricity

About CA$300 for December gas, groceries, and bank fees

That’s a grand total of 1,605.19 Canadian Dollary-doos that I’m looking to work for to ease my financial stress; that’s ~803 TFJ members that can donate $2 each and find entertainment in my streams, ~321 $5 MWAC image licenses, OR ~20 hours of Logicality IT work.

Please hire me if you can and please reblog if you can’t. I desperately need this to reach people before the end of this month.

Thank you for reading, thank you in advance if you reblog, and a huge, special thank you in advance if you’re able to spare some money 🫶

Hey!

I have a question for your slashers boys it's maybe a bit random but what's their morning routine like? like what do they have for breakfast? (if they have any at all) and who's more of a morning person Sun or Moon? I already have a feeling who it could be but maybe I'm completely wrong.

Anyway

I Hope you have a good day/night!

Sun's up at like. 5 am. Sometimes, he'll come out into the living room to see that Moonie is still out perusing the neighborhood. But Moon's usually home by sunrise see what i did there

Sun showers, gets himself ready and dressed, makes coffee, does a bit of tidying up, laundry, other household chores. Can see him throwing some bread in the toaster or popping a frozen meal in the microwave for breakfast. Bet both he and Moon like sugary cereals 😝✨.

Moon's pretty low-energy, grumpy. Likely to get extra snappy in the morning. There are few words exchanged during this time of day, save perhaps some reporting on what Moon saw during the night. Moon showers (most of the time), eats, and then dozes on the sofa until Sun's ready to head to the arcade—around 9. Moon drives. All of his vocalizations are grumbling growls and forceful sighs. As soon as they get there, Moon usually makes straight for the breakroom couch. Sun will roll his eyes and start on getting the arcade in order.

I think this is one of his favorite times of day. Sun doesn’t really like to be alone for too long, but the arcade is home and Moonie’s enough of a presence in the break room to put him at ease.

He turns on the arcade speakers, then hums and dances his way through his morning checklist. Restocking the prize counter, vending machines, doing any cleaning that he felt was necessary even after the closing scrub down last night. He looks to see if there's any parties or scheduled events, makes orders from the computer and phone, double triple checks all the machines and games to make sure the place is spick and spam before they open midday.

look at my perfect friend~

now that you mention it, yeah kabru is kind of an ibex

trying to pin it down but I don't feel confident on my grasp of kabru's characterization (depsite him being my favourite guy. you know how it is) but like. Kabru is a nicer ibex. Ibex is kabru but he's no longer asking. Ibex is a kabru but he's not afraid to let outright enemies stay on the board if he knows he'll win the overall battle. I think Kabru would make a better candidate of rightousness. I need a two way au and we're gonna send the dunmeshi cast to divine cycle space and we're throwing the kingdom crew in a last ditch dungeon crawl

@arcnoise tagging just in case

tbh i think that even unwinnable fights should be winnable. some of the BEST fights i've ever run as a dm were ones i built kill the players (in a fun way. I had some cutscenes prepped so even the loss would be a different flavour of win)- but then they were clever bastards and managed to either win the fights or pull themselves out of trouble. I think it's perfectly fine to plan for a fight that players aren't supposed to win, but you need to let them. if they can't win, they can't lose, and the meaning of that encounter is diminished. do that too many times, and they stop trusting you to give them roleplay prompts and start expecting to sit there waiting while you drive the story for them.

but if they can win... if there is always the chance to win, no matter how impossible the odds, then they ALWAYS have hope. they always get invested. they feel the big emotions of success or the big emotions of failure, and you fucking Win as a dm/roleplay prompter/lead bastard.

Serial Designation J, what the heckkk??

(Spoilers for episode seven and eight of Murder Drones!!!!!!!!!)

Serial Designation J from Murder Drones is a pretty complicated character. If you want to understand why she teamed up with Cyn in episode eight, you need to use lots of brain power to read into certain lines. But anyway, this is my super-awesome explanation as to why J teamed up with Cyn!!

J's relationship with Tessa is apparently clear in episode five. You can easily see that the two are very close, and even are best friends. "There's humans coming, and I've only ever yakked to robots, J!" (Episode: Home) In episode five, there is also a scene that shows how much they care about one another: Tessa and J clinked their glasses, and Tessa who was reminded of the noise of chains locking her up, rubbed her own wrist and winced in pain. J looked at her with concern and sadness, so Tessa assured her that she was alright.

As we can see just from these two examples, J and Tessa definitely care for each other quite a bit. As we know, Cyn killed Tessa and wore her skin. It could easily be assumed that anything Cyn would do has a purpose and would benefit her in some way, but this just doesn't make sense, as it doesn't do her any favors. With this thought process, it's obvious to come to the conclusion that she didn't have a reason; she just wanted to because she's sadistic, and she particularly wanted to disturb J, specifically (yes, I know that sentence is redundant). Because J was so close to Tessa, and likely was forced to watch Tessa die at the hands of Cyn, she was very disconcerted by Cyn wearing Tessa's skin and even mimicking her voice, so it was easy for Cyn to manipulate her. "If I promise you anything, it tricked me, too." (Episode: The Absolute End)

If you were to ask yourself what you would do in J's situation, I'm sure that you would want to think logically. What do you do if somebody who you've never liked in the first place kills your best friend, wore their skin, mimicked their voice, and tried to act like them? On top of that, this person is super powerful and would be nearly impossible to defeat. Now, they are telling you that they won't hurt you if you do something for them. Anybody would take the deal at this point, so that's what J did. In an already distressed state, J realized that there was basically no way that Cyn would ever lose, so theoretically, it would be the safest option to do what she wants. "I promise, it's better on the winning team as a team." (Episode: The Absolute End)

After J had teamed up with Cyn, she also got V in on it, too. "You said we do our jobs, and that thing leaves us alone!" (Episode: The Absolute End) Both J and V kept the secret from N, and this is implied to be part of their deal with Cyn. This is particularly shown in episode eight after V tries to tell N about how the "Tessa" that they know is actually Cyn, and then Cyn says to her, "Do your job, and I leave you and N alone. Right, V?" (Episode: The Absolute End). Since we know that J and V both had made a deal with Cyn, we can infer that they had always known since the beginning, and have been being manipulated by Cyn in real time during the time of the show. Of course the way that V was manipulated by Cyn is heartbreaking as well (and I will make a post about her in the future 😉), the way that J was manipulated is horrifying. You may have seen memes online about J being William Afton from FNAF, because every time we think she dies she tends to come back eventually. But the truth is that it was very intentional of Cyn to make J basically immortal, because in that case J would never be capable of rebelling against her. If she rebelled, Cyn could torture her and or simply kill her and bring her back with all the memories. J couldn't take her own life because Cyn would bring her back. Because J thought that There was no way to beat Cyn, she figured that getting on her good side was the safest often. She just thought that there was literally no way that she could go against Cyn without being tortured forever.

"You know there's no escape, even in death!" (Episode: The Absolute End)

(This is just a theory of mine, but I find it likely that the reason that J would call Cyn "Boss" just like she called Tessa "Boss", is so she could try to familiarize Cyn and make her seem more like Tessa in order to make the situation feel better. But that's JUST A THEORY-- A GAAMMMMEE THEORY)
