It’s late when you turn up at Frank’s door. You don’t expect him to be home, he never is at this time. He’s usually out on patrol or on the hunt. You can tell he’s been sleeping when he opens the door. His dark hair is ruffled, his eyes a little blurry. He’s wearing a black vest that clings to his frame over grey sweatpants.

“Angel…” He murmurs as he opens the door to let you inside.

You have him up against the wall before he even closes it, your mouth is on his as his back impacts against the plaster. You’re a strong little thing, he forgets about that sometimes. He thinks it’s because it’s been a while since the two of you actually tussled.

He remembers the last time, the scrape of gravel across his face as your knee dug into his back. He’d been both pissed off and proud because the two of you had been sparring since the night Lou Beretti sent those thugs after you and you’d come a long way since then. Not a single person had got the drop on him throughout his tenure as The Punisher but then his scrappy little cop from Queens had pulled the rug out from underneath his feet and dumped him in the drunk tank for the night because he was ‘interfering’ with her investigation.

Now he stays out of your shit, and you stay out of his.

When you bite his lower lip, he moans into your mouth, his hips surging forward so that you can feel his hard cock straining against the fabric of his sweatpants. He switches positions, pinning you against the wall with his muscular form. His forehead comes to rest against yours, his breathing ragged as your hand encloses on his wrist guiding his large hand up so that his palm covers your throat.

“Do your worst.” You say, pressing down on his fingers, forcing them to dig into the soft underside of your throat. “Treat me like I’m your whore.”

He looks into your eyes, and he sees the intensity in your gaze. You get like this sometimes, when things have gotten dark, and you need to feel something. He’s been there, he knows what it’s like to feel hollowed out, numb. You need him to take care of you tonight, to fuck all of the thoughts right out of your head.

“Safe word?” He questions, his thumb tracing over the shape of your lips.

“Daisy.” You murmur and he smiles.

It’s the first flower he ever gave you.

His kisses are bruising, forceful. His tongue thrusting into your mouth as he tears the clothes away from your body. He pins you down on the bed, the heat from his naked flesh rolling over yours as he forces your legs apart with his thigh. Your wetness smears against the hard muscle and your back arches as you try to generate a little more friction against your clit.

“Can’t help yourself can you?” He mutters into your ear as he grips your jaw and tilt your head away from him baring your throat. “Need my cock that badly huh?”

You don’t respond and he doesn’t expect you to. When he’s with you he can’t help but run his mouth but that’s not what you need tonight. It’s not about the words, it’s about the physicality, the sensation. He isn’t gentle when he enters you, he does it with one firm stroke, filling you entirely and the noise you make, fuck he nearly comes right there and then.

It gets rough after that.

Your nails rake up his back, the sting of it intermingling with the ecstasy as he fucks you like you’re nothing to him, just a vessel for his own pleasure.

“Harder.” There’s a bite to your voice, a savageness. “Make me feel it.”

He raises to the challenge, his muscular arm wrapping around your waist, gripping you in place as he uses you like his personal fucktoy.

It’s brutal, violent. The slapping of skin resounds through the air, the sound mixing with your hitched breathing as he thrusts inside of you hard and deep.

“Feel that?” He mutters against your skin, his lips brushing over the teeth marks he’s left on your shoulder. “That’s what you do to me, drive me so fucking crazy I can’t control myself.”

You’re close, so close he can fucking taste it. It’s in the way that pretty cunt of yours clenches around his dick, the scrape of your teeth as you bite down on his shoulder hard enough to break the skin. You drag him over the edge with you, his release spilling into you as he grasps your hips, holding them flush against his own. He doesn’t stop, he fucks it deeper, marking his territory because you’re his, you’ll always be his and in that moment the animal in him needs you to know it.

“That’s it my angel, take it.” He murmurs, his palm coming to rest on the back of your neck as he holds you against him. “Take it all.”

[cuprohastes]

Did you bring a sword?

The Zavazni pride themselves on their swordsmanship. If one of their Privateer ships pulls you over, you can duel them: Win and they’ll fuck off, nice and peaceful.

Lose and… well things might go the other way. Slavery or death for the challenger for sure.

Almost nobody duels the Zavazni. Nobody else has dropped all their points into weebing that hard about swords.

So the Freighter Mok Sipok Vuun Abta (Lit: Slow but Safe hands for Carrying) got nabbed by the Privateer ship ‘Elegant blade for which no foe may stand against’. The captain just sighed and started filling out the insurance forms, and had the Bankruptcy declaration cued up for after that.

It was wholly a surprise then, that the Cook decided to challenge the Zavazni’s Blademaster.

The cook was human, of course. She was called Sue - Probably still is.

The Blademaster - One Truun Var Odakan (Familial name Ovtin) accepted on the spot, pulled out a metre of gleaming silvered duelling sword, flourished and spun the damn thing faster than a hummingbird’s wing: Y’know, just to make a point.

Sue got a crappy spare one of the Zavazni handed to her. She waggled it, adjusted her grip, almost dropped it… Which provoked hilarity from the Privateers.

The Captain was hoping that they’d find this all funny enough not to be vindictive after they sliced Sue up. Which at this point was entirely out of his hands.

Sue did a few swishes with the blade and started to swing it, the point wobbling until she got the hang of it and then…

… and then it was moving faster, and faster as she got the measure of it, until it moved like a curtain of quicksilver. Like it was the petals of a flower picked out in the barely visible reflection of metal moving so fast it became ethereal. The tip moved so fast it sung. The damn thing looked like it was alive.

Sue moves in a way that the Captain had never seen, twisting, spinning, sliding, and weaving.

Ovtin was immediately wrong-footed, but then Sue stopped, the subliminal whine of the blade shocking in its sudden absence.

“OK big boy, let’s dance.” she said — And Ovtin, barely pausing, swept in with the terrible grace the Zavazni are known for.

Sue handed him his ass.

She wasn’t ever where he thought, she never stepped where he predicted. She moved like water around his silver blade, and she barely even took time to slap his sword out the way.

Ovtin started to slow, frustrated swings and lunges tiring him out, and Sue?

She relaxed into it. She looked loose and lazy.

The scalpel sharp point of the privateers sword whipping past her, as she bent like a willow, reaching up and just slapping the flat of Ovtin’s blade with her hand now and again.

And then when he was panting and livid, she took him apart: A flick of her sword tip here, a sweep there that dragged the cutting edge through cloth and skin: Her sword switching hands…

Some times even pointing backwards as she spun and ducked, the edge like a scythe, making him stumble out the way. And then as Ovtin staggered she spun inside his defence, elbowed him in the side, slid her hand up his arm and yanked his sword out of his hand.

Sue ducked down and whipped the tips across Ovtin’s thighs, backed up, dropped the tips, rolled her shoulders and started whirling both swords — Her shirt soaked, her hair matted and pure fury in her eyes.

The Captian nearly shit himself when he realised this creature of pure avatistic vengeance had been making his pancakes and hot tuvi of a morning.

Ovtin just couldn’t wrap his mind around what was happening. He could have surrendered, but he couldn’t conceptually accept it and kept lunging in to try to get his sword back.

Which was like reaching into a blender.

And when he finally died, Sue cried for him and told the Privateers to fuck off: And they did. They actually did.

She kept both swords. Mounted the old one over the kitchen hatch.

It took the Captain almost the entire rest of the trip to ask two questions

“Would you have challenged the Blade Master if we hadn’t been carrying aide supplies?”

…and:

“How? How could you possibly have done this?”

Unfortunately the answer to the second part, devoid of cultural context, meant nothing to him, but he wrote it in the log anyway:

“Cargo saved due to the actions of Sue Marrincourt, cook & ‘Beat Sabre Champion’.”

[possiblylando]

Trying to dissect all the stuff from the Akira Cross audiolog.

Okay so I'm gonna go over all the stuff I feel is notable even if it's fairly obvious. Also I'm bound to miss stuff so if you saw anything I didn't (or have a different interpretation) feel free to chime in with that. ALSO SPOILERS EVIDENTLY THEY WILL BE HERE WATCH THE AUDIOLOG FIRST IF YOU WANT TO AVOID THOSE YEAH OKAY COOL Alot of Akira Cross is a mix of stuff drawn directly from Boy's experience and whatever media he's consumed so picking apart the two will be important in figuring everything out. Akira is an evident stand in for Boy but I'll go over the more interesting stuff with him later because there might genuinely be some foreshadowing in here with all the insane shit that goes on later in the story.

Cross Family is clearly a reference to the D Clan I doubt there's too much foreshadowing on this one so Boy is probably just filling in any gaps with his own stuff here.

Slab is Door. Just like Door, very straight forward. His military rank might be off a bit but this one doesn't require a lot of analysis.

NOW HERES WHERE WE GET TO THE REAL SHIT On my first watch I didn't really think much of all the Yokai/Japan stuff since it seemed like normal weeb kid stuff especially since Markus has evidently been showing Boy alot of anime. However we know the D Family has been to Japan since Markus brings up being there in the Bar Audiolog. I had always assumed Boy's hair was from D's side of the family but thinking about it more, It's entirely possible that Boy's mom is actually Japanese and met Door during that trip to Japan. It's also possible she was a Hunter which is why Boy has ties to the OG hunters (which I'll talk about way later during that segment with Hina's awakening chariot in the- getting off topic). D makes a point of talking about how Yokai are real and they shouldn't bring civilians into their world (unless they see potential in them). Seemingly Boy has been raised entirely in the Hunter Sphere so his mother being a hunter actually does align since Door is such a stickler for the 'rules'. But the Priestess thing is probably just a Boy-ism.

Ryu is probably another Boy-Ism since I doubt he has a secret twin brother. This could potentially be a reference to another member of the D family however. But I don't feel there's enough evidence to suggest that beyond Warhammer parallel which I don't really want to use as primary evidence. We know that at least one of the D Clan has been killed by Vampires and probably several more so Ryu could also be an unintended Boy reference to a member who became a vampire. It's probably not to foreshadow a Markus turn to the dark side since there's another character that is very directly Markus. So I'm just going to mark down Ryu as; Boy-ism that might parallel another D Clan member but probably not.

Another direct reference with his time training with slab is obviously inspired by the time he spends at the gun range with Door. But the experimental weapons line is probably just a Boy-Ism since it's just the Halo gun.

I genuinely have no fucking clue what Gilgamesh represents here and I can't help but bust my ass laughing every time I rewatch his reveal. This feels more directly related to D which I'll go over.

So this whole section is- fucky to the say the least. D is ALWAYS confident in everything he says so I don't know if he's saying this because "I WAS THERE AND I MET GILGAMESH" or "THE SCHOLARS ARE WRONG GILGAMESH WAS CLEARLY-" and it could go either way with him. But since he talks about Gilgamesh like "I knew he was a vile fiend but this is a new low" makes it seem like he probably doesn't know Gilgamesh directly.

Door death flags continue to slowly mount. I don't think he'll die anytime soon but theres likely gonna be some major conflict between him and the other members of the D Clan. Akira's family's deaths and D's reaction to them is again, notable. When I was first watching my first thought was "Oh he's having this reaction because it happened to him". But then the reveal that D is just genuinely invested in the story to the point of tears is very funny.

So Akira's heritage is again something to bring up. Half-American, Half-Japanese, Half-Nephilim, Half-Yokai. I feel we can knock off the Yokai as a Boy-Ism. I doubt he's Half-Nephilim directly but it's such an interesting thing to call out since they're a weird reference to make here. The WoD Lore I could find on them is pretty scarce but they're essentially the children of humans and fallen angels, fairly similar to early Abrahamic texts referencing their existence. In classic WoD Hunter lore they were humans who were chosen by angels which turned them into the imbued. I feel like this is notable since Boy seems to be becoming an imbued. (Again, Later) Okay so here's a bit of a hard thing to decipher. Ironically Akira's School could be drawn from experience or purely a Boy-Ism because it's never really all that clear if Boy actually goes to school. This episode in particular talks about D taking on alot of Boy's schooling but I vaguely remember comments from another Audiolog about some british kids calling Boy "Meat" and Door not really understanding the insult. It does show however that Boy has been effected by the hunter life since he's made a world where anyone could be a hidden enemy. It shows that D's (rightful) paranoia has rubbed off on him.

I think Hina is just a pure Boy-Ism. Her being a secret angel might play into his imbued potential and later stuff. But yeah I don't think Hina represents anything here. and Combat Boots.

Alright so Mars is clearly Markus also why does he look like Gogeta as a final fantasy villain. I feel like this is one of those moments that was missing from the story cause it genuinely gives Markus a moment where he feels appreciated. When the time comes that Markus is given the opportunity to do some fuckshit I have the feeling this will be the moment that stops him.

My gut feeling tells me that this lineup for the Gilgamesh goons is foreshadowing the major antagonists of each arc (maybe). Jack the ripper visually resembles Pyotr with the teeth, ears, and long black hair. The fact he gets fought multiple times also relates back since they fought Pyotr in the cave then in their house. Florence could be implying that one of the maids is the ghoul in the current arcanum arc. No clue about Polluck and Andre the giant. And this kinda entirely depends on who the ghoul is since if it's anyone else this whole vague theory instantly falls apart.

I don't think the Chiroterrans themselves represent anything. Maybe the ancient vampires but I kinda doubt that, they seem like a Boy-Ism to explain why vampires exist since he probably wouldn't know about Caine. However the fact they team up with Akira at the end to fight the war against HORSE does show the shift in Boy's mental state. We know he already has a more 3 dimensional view of vampires based on the times he gets weirdly deep 'Do you think this is what happens when one throws away their humanity and embraces their inner monster' as it directly shows he now sees HORSE as the main threat and the vampires just as another group.

The Merkabah is another thing that points towards Boy becoming an imbued since he would have no reference for a dream like this. I've already gone over the surface level of the imbued so no point repeating it.

Also Markus might also become Imbued (or a mage since thats a thing that I've heard vaguely of un-awakened mages getting but I don't have a source to back that up beyond "just trust me bro" so I could be totally wrong here) unless he's just being sarcastic here which is totally in character

I feel like this could be another accidental foreshadowing thing since there are some theories and suspicions about there being a werewolf in the chapterhouse right now. So we'll see what happens with this or if it's just another random Boy-Ism

Again, stuff like this is why I think this whole story is more important than just a random boy writing session. They literally do this at the start of every arc. Also IT SHOULD BE NEXT SAGA BOY BECAUSE HE FIGHTS THE FIVE GOONS THAT WOULD BE IT'S OWN ARC ITS CLEARLY MULTIPLE ARCS SO IT SHOULD BE THE GILGAMESH SAGA FIRST OKAY that was I was thinking about that okay I just had to say it

Theres probably a reference in the spartan spacemarines being called the crimson dragon blades but I know nothing about halo and my knowledge of 40k is also not great. and I don't know where to put this and it isnt important but Ryu's final form looks like Asmodeus from iruma kun and I can't unsee it

The final thing to consider is Horse himself. I've spent the last few days thinking about one main thing; Is horse actually evil or is he just really bad with kids?

And I don't know. I feel like they're using this to set up a swerve where since Horse is Horus we're expecting him to turn evil, but it's revealed he's just bad with kids. But he could just as easily be some sort of demon or other awful thing possessing horse.

jason todd inspo for dpxdc

So I know not everyone is gonna read through comics so here is some dope Jason panels that I think absolutely SCREAM danny phantom xover material.

After coming back from the dead, Talia dropped Jason off with the All-Caste which is like a sect of warrior monks who do magic.

The All-Caste have a nexus chamber that can go ANYWHERE and ANYWHEN and looks absolutely insane and is filled with door ways. It absolutely screams GZ/Infinite Realms material. Jason has been in it multiple times both when learning magic bullshit as a teen and again as Red Hood when trying to track down The Untitled after they killed off all the All-Caste.

Below is a pic of Jason just after he left the All-Caste after getting kicked out and I do think his hair looks like Danny's here so I'm dropping it in for all those ppl who like writing fics where Jason is Danny's universal variant.

I have not found any panels where Jason actually has glowing green eyes but he does glow with occult symbols when meditating.

If you don't know about the All-Blades then just know are fire swords Jason can summon and use to destroy evil. Also they come with a mystic disembodied voice talking about balance and shit sometimes. They're powered by your soul so you can do some real weeb shit with that.

Bonus, sometimes Crime Alley or Gotham are referred to as Jason's Haunt and I think that's beautiful.

Legacy of Manwich {1.2} London, France, Etc.

Last time, King Martin beefed hard finding a girlfriend so now he's inflicting his manmeat on the general populace. Wonder how that worked out for him?

King Martin: "I've never seen so many women in one place!"

Me either, considering strip clubs in the Sims 2 always seem to be filled with creepy men or literal infants. You see anybody you like, Marty?

King Martin: "Now that you mention it..."

King Martin: "HOMINA HOMINA! AWOOOGA!" *smacks lips*

YOUR SEDUCTION TECHNIQUE IS UNPARALLELED

WOW I'M SO SHOCKED THAT DIDN'T WORK!

King Martin: "Yeouch, maybe I'll have better luck at the gas station."

At the where now?

King Martin: "You can find all kinds of things here!"

Yeah, like sexually transmitted diseases and disappointing breakfast burritos. You're not gonna find the woman of your dreams here.

WAIT, IS THAT THE BITCH FROM YOUR DAYDREAMS? DID YOU WILL HER INTO EXISTENCE?

Romana: "No, this is just where I get my hair done."

King Martin: "Hey, baby, you know what me and the Sun have in common?"

Romana: "... That you're both hot?"

King Martin: "No, that you'll go blind if you stare at us too long."

(Seriously, this is SO BLOWN OUT!)

Guy: "WOWEE GET A LOAD OF THIS VIRGIN"

Could you back off his asshole, please? Can't you see he is successfully courting a woman for the first time in his life?

Your tulpa sucks, Martin. She's not even looking at you. I'm reasonably sure she's swooning over other women.

MARTIN STOP PROPOSITIONING LESBIANS FOR SEX AND FEAST YOUR CRETINOUS LITTLE EYES ON THIS MEGA HOTTIE!!!

Woman: "Actually, I'm a prostitute hired to deflower this turbo virgin."

Shhh, no, this is destiny! Think of your future as a trophy wife!

Woman: "Hey, handsome, wanna have consensual sex?"

King Martin: "UGH GOD GROSS NO!!!"

King Martin: "ARE YOU CRAZY?"

Martin I'm gonna fucking neuter you

Oh so you're just going for it, huh? In this most romantic of places?

King Martin: "Are you an angel? 'Cause I wanna get you pregnant."

Romana: "I... uh, what?"

Some kid named Agamemnom?: "WEE WOO WEE WOO CREEPER ALERT!"

King Martin: "I don't need this shit I'm going to the bathroom! >:("

Cowboy: "Mind if I join you?"

King Martin: "What?? No!! Get out of here!"

RAM RANCH IS UNDER SIEGE

UNDER LOCKDOWN

King Martin: "Now I can shit in peace."

God you're not even gonna put toilet paper down??

Cowboy: "I'M BACK BITCH.... AND I BROUGHT A FRIEND!"

What the... fuck????

Weeb: "Konnichiwa!"

Nothing like the lingering scent of fecal matter to bring cultures together.

What is this fucking cosplay convention bullshit happening before my very eyes?

Romana: "He was right, I did actually end up going blind."

Twink Lincoln: "Thank God you're back!"

NO MORE COSTUMES, GET OUT OF MY YARD

Very many days go by and Martin is still a kissless virgin, not to mention he's having a hell of a time keeping his aspiration up. Why can't you want anything career related? Why does is all have to be two-thousand dollar stereos and other expensive garbage?

King Martin: "I guess I want to kiss someone!"

There we go. Let's go to the pub, buddy. Maybe beer goggles will improve your chances.

*WHUNK*

Can you stop letting this guy bully the shit out of you?

This adorable lady was here, and she and Martin really hit it off!

Just kidding. You think this guy could ever succeed at anything?

King Martin: *sssSSNNIIIIIFFFFFFF*

I need a break from you. Hopefully you'll find a bride in the next one. Bye for now!

Miep's Bangers

Sentence starters from my writing. Change pronouns/phrasing as needed.

"None of them even bothered to think, did they?"

“And what would such a demonstration entail?”

“If you think you can last that long, dear heart.”

“You know I’ll do anything for you.”

"You are almost as helpful as you are infuriating."

"Or what, you'll talk me to death?"

"If I'm not up to your standards I could always stop."

"It's three in the starsdammed morning, what are you doing up."

“My therapist says healthy outlets are important.”

"Girlypop I'm putting your face through a wall after this."

"Oh shit. MEDIC—"

“... I’m almost done. Just a minute, and I’ll go.”

"Do you believe their intent sincere?"

"You've forgotten, but we had this conversation before."

"Are we really just going to stare each other down?"

“Get your overgrown arse down here so I don’t get a crick in my neck looking up at you."

"I labor to find a way that renders such desperate measures unnecessary - or failing that, obsolete."

"I understand your ethical objections to our set course. I am not going to reprimand you for them."

"I heard your scream from the fucking moon."

"Rather than blaming you, I’d like to teach them the dangers of underestimating someone based on size and upbringing."

"That's what I thought. Jerk."

"It is rude to point!"

“I... really... really... despise ladders.”

“yer mouth is flappin but all i'm hearin is ‘i'm a weeb!’”

"What was meant to be my grave instead became the grave of who we could have been."

"Ah… Finally, some peace and quiet, away from that horrible rose garden."

"They wanted to trap me with those words, leave me to spin endlessly in place like a music-box figurine."

"Give your sword to someone else if you don’t wish to wield it.”

But most days, after school, after the drudgery of the ordinary - she flew.

Even if the woods sounded as though no one was there but her, she could feel the eyes watching.

It was the kind of welcome that felt like a trap.

He was surprised to realize it took actual effort to move them, and for a moment he debated the dignity of it, before simply picking the little menace up like a petulant child and settling them on his hip.

His sick grin was like the sun coming up.

[A] spat his drink out, stared at a distant point only he could see, turned to stare at [B], looked away again, and upended the mug over [B]'s head.

Sometimes, the only thing that brought them any sense of peace was heading up somewhere alone and waiting out a storm.

She did have to struggle with it a bit, desperately pulling at it with her heels skidding across the cobblestones.

In her eagerness to reach the top she overreached, her lower foot catching on a rung as she screeched indignantly and flailed for one of the decorative spires at the top of the ladder. She managed to catch onto it by some miracle of not-falling-to-a-particularly-embarrassing-death, and flung her torso over the platform, clinging to it for dear life.

The shining white dome dominates the hill above the ordinary world, guarding a forest that hides the mass grave of hopes and dreams, crushed under the weight of a castle suspended in the sky.

Calmly, precisely, with all the control I’ve cultivated over years of revisiting [Place], I reached out and wrenched the gate from its hinges, stepping through as calmly as if I’d merely opened a curtain.

I recognized the trap, though, the words filled with the creak of a rusted gate and the roar of a cremation furnace.

The wounds in me still oozed infection, but for the first time in what felt like forever, I could breathe freely.

Little BIOMECH update (:

BIOMECH is very soon leaving pre-alpha, and I am working on some closed alpha test groups! Once I get a beta, I plan on doing something more open. we'll see how that rolls out. In the meantime while I hear back from some test readers, I wanna talk about some inspirations, and some fun things I have come across and been pointed to. I won't count the weird nightmare I had that caused me to start writing this, but it certainly is a thing that inspired the whole project. - First: Alien. I watched the move at an age that was probably too young, but it left such an impression on me and has remained my favorite horror movie for a long, long time (still is). I think my fascination for body horror stems from my exposure to this movie. - Gurren Lagann: It took my friends 3-4 years to finally get me to watch it? I almost bounced off due to the high amount of Weeb Shit (put a shirt on, kid) but it ended up becoming one of my favorites. There are a couple things that are inspired by a fighting spirit and never giving up; BIOMECH may be horror, but it isn't hopeless.

- Metal Gear Solid: While things *are* in an endless war, I do like to think the message in the base writing is anti-war. I could be here for 4 hours talking about MGS; so I will spare you and say that while it is an inspiration, I'm not looking to do a bunch of Kojima level writing. - Star Wars: I grew up watching the tapes my mom and dad had, i can't help loving it, and I bet there are notes of star war in this thing. It is an inescapable pit in my brain. - Bladerunner: This one is not nearly as surface level, and may only really appear in writing about the system/in a game module I want to write. But I really like how the movies explore humanity, a sense of self, and more. I won't go into a ton of detail here yet. Maybe once I showcase a game module for people to run.

Some other mentions!

Warframe! I started playing it again in the past few months, and some ideas run somewhat parallel to things I had planned for BIOMECH. It's been real fun to play it after barely ever touching it.

Anti-capitalism. Capitalism is the bad guy in the writing. Granted, a GM can use the system to make any story they want, but capitalism fuels war in this story. War is a never-ending evil that fills the pockets of the rich and keeps the rest suppressed and fighting each other for their "all-powerful" leaders.

Multiple game systems, but FFG Star Wars and Call of Cthulhu are the most influential on the system I am making. In the end, I am making something I find fun and interesting and following the path I want. But these games have deeply influenced how I formed some of the base designs.

Pacific Rim/Armored Core/Other Big Mech Stuff: I just like big robot, ok?

And more! I'm gonna let people try and pick some out though (: Now, the one I haven't seen. And some alpha readers, friends, and viewers have asked if i was influenced. I have never seen Neon Genesis Evangelion. I now will not be watching it until I am done with the beta, I feel that would be against my interests at this point when it comes to making something that is authentically mine. Anyway, hope this was somewhat interesting to read. More to come!

This has been weighing on my mind for a long time and it's black history month so I don't mind getting into it, but it really is actually so annoying how so many nonblack people only bother bringing up black people when it's time to joke or meme or whatever. Like, do yall not notice that yall do that? All the time? Like sure, you occasionally reblog posts to spread awareness about discrimination and police killings etc and that's nice I guess, but beyond that, do you actually take the time to be conscious of how you are engaging with black people? Do you take the time to be conscious of whether you're actually treating us like people and not just another source of entertainment? Because, genuinely, most of yall do not.

And I've grappled with the fact that maybe I'm being too sensitive but it really is shit like scrolling through a nonblack person's blog and seeing that the only time they regularly post about black people beyond our suffering is when we're reduced to a joke that drives me insane. Like all your memes and reaction images and whatever are filled with black people, but yall can't post about us in any other context? Even with the most mainstream black people, yall can't post about Mariah Carey except when it's time to joke about Christmas? Yall can't post about Earth, Wind, and Fire except when it's time to joke about September 21st? Yall can't post about Megan thee Stallion except when it's time to joke about her being a weeb or laugh at her old tweets? Yall can't post about any other rappers except when it's time to joke about rap blog parodies (that more often than not aren't even run by actual black people either)?

Like it's just crazy to me how we are in 2024 and nonblack people still will not reevaluate the way they interact with us, like yall really do not understand how isolating and sickening it feels to know the only time yall will talk about people like me is when you want to reinvent minstrelsy, and then do nothing to understand why that's a problem.

🧜🏼‍♂️My Merman🧜🏼‍♂️

🐚Merman!Levi x fem!reader AU Part 1🐚

'Time and time again I come out here and all I get is clams and tiny fish that can't be used. This sucks so bad.' I think to myself as I feel backwards onto my raft. It has been a month now being out here by myself. Being an only child and a girl ment I couldn't go hunting with the men, not to mention that I was looked over at having a mate, being of lower class. "I hate this village. I wish the lake god would just capsize my raft." I said out loud not thinking someone would hear me. I was so wrong. Next thing I knew it the water was getting choppy and the clouds started to get dark.

The waves were getting out of hade and I had no way to let anyone know that I was out here. I was in the middle of the lake and I didn't tell anyone I was coming out here. 'Holy shit an I going to die.' I asked myself. At first I was scared but then remembering that I will not be miss by anyone in the village I was ready for my faith. Closing my eye I let my raft go under.

As I was pulled under the water I was in aww at what the depths showed me. Different planet life. All sizes and colors of fish. 'Now this isn't a bad way to die.' I thought as I could feel water fill my lungs. It brought me peace to see something so beautiful that was beneath something so scary. As closing my eye for the last time my body felt light. Like I was flying. Or so I thought was the last time.

When I came to my lungs felt like the were on fire and I started coughing like crazy. When I stopped and was getting my breath back I looked around to see where I was at. "How did I get to the other side of the island. And how am I alive." I said out loud thinking no one was around. "Getting here was mine doing, and you being alive was my doing too." I turned to where I heard the voice was coming for. What I saw was or rather who I saw made my heart stop. There in front of me was what I thought was nothing but a fairytale that was told to the children, something to put them to sleep. There in the water resting on a rock was a Merman.

"Okay I must be dead because your not real and this is the afterlife." I said with my head in my hands. I hear what sounds like a wind chimes. "Are all humans this funny?" He asked bring his fin out of the water.What I saw was the most beautiful thing that I ever saw. His tail was a mix of blue green and white. The scales sparkled like diamonds. "So do humans have names or do you call each other by gender?" He asked putting his tail bake into the water.

It took me a minute to get my hand back together. "Y/n, I'm Y/n. What do I call you?" He looked at me with curiosity. "Levi. You have a very pretty name, It fits you. So what where you doing out in the water. You know it's not safe out here." I looked over to what was left of my raft. "I was fishing, trying to get food for my village, then the water got bad and next thing I knew it, my raft capsized and then you save me." I took a breath and closed my eyes. "Can't they fish for themselves? Why would they send a female?" I looked at him a little offended. "Woman aren't trained in hunting so we do other things for the village." He got off the rock to come closer to the shore. "Why don't you have one? I have many men in my clan that would fight over your hand." I felt my cheek get warm. "I'm of lower class so I'm not the first choice for the men in the village." He got onto the shore next to me, he brought his hand up to my face rubbing his thumb on my cheek. "That doesn't matter to my clan, you make such a beautiful bride." He slowly pulled me to him being his face close to mine. He put his forehead to mine. "Can I see you tonight so we can talk more?" I shook my head yes. "Tonight I will see you then." He pulled away making his way back into the water. I sat there watching him disappear into the depths.

X-Manson Annotated Chapter Three - Part 4 - LOGAN

It's here where we take a dive into the world of realistic espionage with our dear boy, Sabertooh as the documentary tries to uncover parts of Logan's background.

This opening description reminds me of how Bob Archer's office is described in World War Z by Max Brooks:

The office of the director of the Central Intelligence Agency could belong to a business executive or doctor or an everyday, small-town high school principal. There are the usual collection of reference books on the shelf, degrees and photos on the wall, and, on his desk, an autographed baseball from Cincinnati Reds catcher Johnny Bench. Bob Archer, my host, can see by my face that I was expecting something different. I suspect that is why he chose to conduct our interview here.

CSIS: Canadian Security Intelligence Service.

RCMP: Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

This is interesting to me. Logan in this universe maintains the mysterious past of his comic book self from this period of time. However at this time in the comics, when this was written, people knew about Logan's past as an experiment of Weapon X. In this he has his metal claws.

So...Is Victor Creed telling the truth? Or is he as in the dark about Logan's past as the general public?

Later in the story, the final raid on the mansion has psychic cages with little Canadian flags on them. So, is it possible that they come from Weapon X?

Maybe Logan is this way because his mind was rattled by Weapon X?

Good question.

I always love when someone shit talks James Bond. The real spywork is closer to those of the George Smiley novels than they are Bond. I think that this bottom section that I've highlighted is in reference to SHIELD and Nick Fury in a roundabout way.

Not to bring it back to World War Z, but this reminds me of a quote by Bob Archer:

When you think about the CIA, you probably imagine two of our most popular and enduring myths. The first is that our mission is to search the globe for any conceivable threat to the United States, and the second is that we have the power to perform the first. This myth is the by-product of an organization, which, by its very nature, must exist and operate in secrecy. Secrecy is a vacuum and nothing fills a vacuum like paranoid speculation.

VC: I also used to beat Iron Fist's ass, but that's another story.

Neat to know that even in the cult au, logan's a goddamned Weeb.

I think this is another reference to Logan's associations with SHIELD.

The first time I read this, I thought "Underwear Factory" was slang for Alpha Flight as superheroes. But it was very literal. In their fight, Logan and Alpha Flight destroyed an Underwear Factory.

Logan - Arrived at the School in 1978. We'll create a timeline soon.

Finally here to see a prompt day post… hopefully I’m not too late to ask for something…

Could I get: Tig Trager OR Bishop Losa with “It’s kinda hazy these days, 100 proof and smoke clouds fill my head”

Thank you!

Set just before Real

The first time Tig lays eyes on you he’s both drunk and high. He’s been toking up all afternoon with a couple of the boys and that followed into an evening session at the clubhouse.

By the time he gets to the party at Cara Cara, he’s beyond inebriated. He’s looking forward to getting his hands on one of those porn stars, he’s had his eye on the red head who does the cheerleading vids for a while.

He’s been in the place less than three minutes when he bumps into you, literally. You’re a pretty little thing, hair tied back into a messy bun, bookish glasses on your features. You’re the only one in this place who doesn’t have their tits out, it makes him sit up and take notice.

You don’t spare him a second glance, instead you mumble an apology, your gaze fixed firmly on the tablet in your hand. It’s the disinterest that captures him, you don’t even see him, you barely acknowledge his presence. It sends a thrill straight down to his cock.

There’s a lot of weird shit that gets him off but this with you it’s something else.

It becomes a game after that, trying to get your attention. The more dismissive you are, the more impassive, the more he gets off on it. He goes home after each interaction and jerks off thinking about how hard you’d make him work for it, how you’d have him on his God damn knees. It’s enough to drive a man demented.

All that other pussy it becomes too easy, too boring.

When he walks into the next party at Cara Cara he's one hundred percent sober and he only has eyes for you.

Love Tig? Don’t miss any of his stories by joining the taglist here.

13 Sentinels Aegis Rim uses obnoxiously tropey anime and predictable sci fi to peddle queerphobic hate propaganda

Last night I started playing 13 Sentinels Aegis Rim. A game that I would describe as being the closest thing to an Evangelion game, moreso then actual Eva games that exist because outside of combat there is a lot of talking and it has a vibe that feels very Eva. And as you might imagine, it's about kids needing to get in the robots to fight the whatever that is coming to Earth to find something we've hidden in a facility deep underground, in this case we fighting aliens instead of angels. Also like Eva it's filled with obnoxious and problematic anime tropes except unfortunately unlike Eva, Sentinels doesn't have the self aware pessimism that Eva has, where it feels like it hates itself which honestly made Eva more bareable.

No, Sentinels does this shit without a hint of self awareness and most of the writing is tropey anime garbage and terrible anime voice acting to go with it. It even makes the underage pilots naked whenever they get in the robot, which just made me unalive the moment I saw it, and the justification for it which I looked up because I don't care about this games dogshit plot, is the most roundabout weeb trying explain the thematic importance of needless sexualisation Ive ever seen next to Quiet from MGS5 breathing through her skin. Also "and it was all a simulation" trope is dumb nowadays and the Wachowsky sisters did it with Matrix 1. And every character is just an obnoxious walking trope and I hate them all.

I think the worst thing for me though is the absolute horrible handling of the few queer characters, like I should have heeded the warnings but yikes. So there is one guy, one of the protagonists we are supposed to route for, who has feelings for a "girl" who we are told is actually a "guy" but the game actually reveals that they are nonbinary, and yet every character continues to misgender and rudely question why they wear the clothes that they do. They literally respond to the "why are you wearing girl's clothes" question with "because some binaries work for me and others dont." The guy who likes them is bi also, which the constant misgendering he does makes him awful bi rep as well i feel. This never stops, and what I learnt from looking up these characters to see if things improve is that it only gets worse. Its revealed that the enby character in the future is in a relationship with the guy who never stopped misgendering, and then literally right after revealing this information they reveal that they are both killed shortly after. The only queer couple in the game. They also like to portray the enby character as manipulating the guy's feelings for them the whole time as well because of course we have to shoehorn in the "trans people are manipulating you" hate propaganda as well.

Something else I wanted to mention is that on top of the horrible treatment of the actual queer characters, very early on they also queerbait with these guys showing what seems to be romantic feelings for eachother when it turns out that, oh it was just this girl character misinterpreting a conversation she was spying on. Queerbaiting an mlm relationship, constantly misgendering an enby character, throwing in a bury your gays trope and potraying the only enby character as a manipulator. I hated everything else about this games writing but the exploitative and horrible treatment of queer folks makes 13 Sentinels unplayable garbage that I wish I could refund.

And it's funny that, I remember it came out the same year as Disco Elysium and seeing people genuinely debating over which had the best game story of the year between these 2 which is absolutely hilarious, like it's not even close. Disco Elysium is actually a super well written game which handles a lot of very sensitive and intense subject matter with so much care, talks very directly about a lot of very relevant sociatal issues and also, actually has well written and tactfully handled queer characters as well. I mean the best and one of the most well written characters of that game, Kim Kitsuragi is a gay man.

🎶✨when you get this, put 5 songs you actually listen to, then publish. Send this ask to 10 of your favorite followers/mutuals (negotiable, dont feel pressured or anything lol)✨🎶

Uhhh, I’m an EDM enjoyer, so my taste in music is kinda fucked. I will try to provide some variety though:

1. Chrysalis by purity://filter (From the imago EP):

This is purity://filter’s most popular track, and for good reason. It’s hard to find a word that I feel describes this track. I looked pretty hard for a word and I feel like superlunary kinda describes this track (or at least how it feels to me).

2. Necro Culture Vulture by Machine Girl (From The Ugly Art):

Time for some good ole fashioned tonal whiplash! This is a Digital Hardcore track. This track is one of my favourites because I not only saw it performed live at Machine Girl’s Sydney show, but I was in the pit as Matt (the main force behind Machine Girl) was moving around the pit and was practically right next to me for the entire track.

I experienced collective effervescence to this song.

3. weird circle by Rory in early 20s (Single):

This track has such a weird vibe (in a good way). The way it sounds (especially in the beginning) kinda makes me think of old school pulpy sci-fi horror, alien invasion kinda stuff. Does that make sense or am I weird for that?

4: Delusional Standards by Filmmaker (From Motion Pictures Regime):

This was a hard pick, there’s a lot of good stuff on Motion Pictures Regime, and I really wanted a track that captured Filmmakers weird distinctive vibe, which almost kinda feels darkly sexy (I once heard somebody describe it as scary sex dungeon music). I’m not sure if this track is the best pick for that, but it is one of my favourites, so…

Lastly, it feels like It would be a bit of a letdown to say that I like EDM and then simply not include a certified NEURONE ACTIVATOR!!! on this list. And so, I present a song that I haven’t listened to in quite a while but that certainly does fill that NEURONE ACTIVATOR!!! niche, here we go:

5: Fifth Grade by Goreshit (From Tomboyish Love for Soda Pop and Apple Sweets (Digipak) ):

This track almost fucking wiped me the fuck out the first time I heard it. It starts off as just a sample from Azumanga Daioh, and then you hear the fucking Amen Break starting to come in, and then it stops, right before everything goes to SHIT! It’s fucking nuts, the first time I heard this track I felt my fucking pupils dilate as I was blasted by pure auditory stimuli. It feels like Goreshit made this track for the sake of self parody, it’s absurd, I laughed while listening to this for the first time. It’s funny as fuck to slip into other peoples playlists and just watch as confusion turns to panic.

Is it a good track? Probably not, it’s not exactly complex, it’s trashy doof doof music. Goreshit’s more recent work (like the stuff on the propa bo! EP) is 100% more palatable and probably just better musically, but holy fuck Fifth Grade is the archetypal old school Goreshit track. It is 100% a neurone activator.

This was Goreshit’s My Love Feels All Wrong weeb shit era. It’s probably good that we have moved beyond that era, but good god was it just a whole lot of dumb fun.

[no1mikasimp]

I’m from India, my parents thought having a TV created ‘bad habits’ in children so we’ve never had a Television in my household, instead me and my sister had unlimited and unsupervised internet and PC privileges since kindergarten.

Once we were trying to watch Phineas and Ferb on YouTube (we heard about it from our friends) when I was in first grade and my sister in second, in the YouTube recommendations on the side it recommended us a Princess Tutu AMV. We watched it— instantly fell in ✨ love ✨ and my sister soon found a website where we could watch the entire thing aside from YouTube (Animenova was the site’s name, it’s shutdown now)

After that watching Princess Tutu we found other anime like Mermaid Melody, Mew Mew Power, Cardcaptor Sakura and by the time I was we were in 4-5th grade we had already started watching almost anime anime we could find from comment sections and recommendation lists, it was then around the time AoT released and we watched it, then my sister found an anime called Owari no Serpah (Seraph of the End) which had the same concept as AoT but with vampires and it became our fav anime for a few long years along with stuff like Magi and Railgun through Owari no Seraph and the incredibly gay sexual tension between its two male protagonists Mika and Yuu, my sister and I found ✨ Yaoi ✨ at 10-11 years of age. I initially didn’t really like it but then by the time was 11 I was consuming that shit almost every day (started with Hybrid child, Sekaichi Hatsukoi, Junjou Romantica and Super Lovers) i wanted to consume more super lovers so I asked my sis where she read her Yaoi manga and general mangas too ofc, she recommended me our god and saviour ✨ mangago ✨ from where I proceeded to read Super Lovers and got heavily confused cuz everything was highly censored and I didn’t know what sex was (growing up in a conservative society like india does that, especially when you’re a girl watching anime since first grade and have no interest in anything else) then I read Royal Servant and found out what 🎀 sex 🎀 was.

Have never looked back since.

I only watched Death Note when u was in like 7th grade, so pretty late I guess. Mainly watched it cuz I heard there was a popular shop between L and Light.

Now, I’m turning 20 in a month and over half my life has been spent being a full time weeb, and almost my half life spent reading gay people making love and holding hands.

Never could have asked for a more perfect life.

Before anyone asks,

No, my parents still don’t know what me and my sister did with that unlimited and unsupervised internet access.

Whenever my parents see me reading Ao3 and ask what it is, I just tell them I’m reading a novel and they get so proud and like, ‘we raised you two so well.’ And give themselves a pat on their backs. They don’t know. It’s so freaking funny.

I also make my mum buy me Yaoi manga and BL novels with her money and she never says no cuz ‘reading is a good habit’

I have two entire bookshelves filled with books, one half normal stuff like Rick Riordan and stuff and the other half pure BL.

That post about death note being "everyone's first anime" (untrue statement) made me curious and now I want to gather data for science

Can you reblog this and tell me where are you from and what was your starter anime?

日曜日の雰囲気 (Sunday Vibes) - 4/20/2025

blaze it The dude is recovering nicely after getting the snip, having enjoyed a much needed and well deserved week off of work. No complications and healed flawlessly. The peace of mind for both of us is immeasurable. Women in relationships with men, center the men in your life who step up to protect you and all the other women in his life. Disregard all others. "I didn't let the internet radicalize me! I'm not an incel!" (Cacucu voice) Awesome job, bro!

I am in full-blown gacha burnout. Pokemon Go got bought out by Scopely so that's about to go downhill fast and I only open it to do daily stop/catch. Pokemon Masters has gone full pay-to-play, is plagued by powercreep, and saving enough free gems to pull for a character without spending money is impossible (not to mention that PMEX is no longer DeNA's "favorite child" and development is taking a backseat to other games). FGO's Draco event was peak but opening the game and glancing at the Lostbelt 7 button fills me with dread. Participation in FEH is purely casual. Uma Musume's ENG release is possibly arriving sooner than we think now that English character intros are being posted and I'm genuinely excited about that, but like every other game I've played the last few years, I predict I'll hyperfixate on that until I find something to complain about with that as well. Pattern recognition in tandem with self-awareness sucks. On the upside, the aforementioned burnout has prompted me to finally get off my ass and start doing more constructive things with my time that don't involve vidya. I've been tinkering around with the WS4000 to indulge my lifelong weather autism. I might start livestreaming local forecasts, but I won't be doing on that on the regular until 1.) I make sure my PC can handle that on the reg and 2.) I get a proper feel for the damn thing and how it operates. You know, I think I've touched on this subject before here but with Genshin I feel like something's wrong with me for being more or less completely indifferent to Natlan; I'm more or less just getting 100% exploration done to bide my time until Snezhnaya. Some say "it's okay to just not like something" but on the internet of all places, you do end up being asked to defend yourself with sound reasons eventually, don't you? Nobody asked, but I'm explaining myself anyway. I don't dislike anything about it except maybe the clunky saurian indwelling shit (the babby dinosaurs are cute but of course I find them cute, us autists love dinosaurs). In the words of Karl Pilkington, "it just doesn't buzz me". Fontaine's underwater areas were dazzlingly gorgeous and the music was beautiful. I shamelessly weebed out in Inazuma even though I fucking hated its puzzles. Even Mondstadt's Fachwerkbauweise buildings and "basic" fields-and-trees was cozy af. Natlan is just entirely comprised of an aesthetic that I don't find interesting. In addition to that, I'm not an active participant in the "Natlan Is Mid" discourse. I don't care about the story's sloppy writing or Mavuika being a mary sue. I don't give a bear's last shit about reviving GOATHIMTANO like my other comrades on r/Fatui. Some of the areas are interesting (fuck the volcano tho), some of the music tracks slap. That's it. There is no objectively correct "what is the best region" answer because everyone likes different things. Motherland now please.

ACEN 2025 is in a month. I'll probably commission the Assassin cosplay for Anime Midwest. I've never had embroidery mad skills; most of my previous cosplays were cobbled together using either old clothes, newly bought clothes, or stuff from thrift stores and I doubt I'll find anything like the stuff she wears in stores. I used to have no reservations about cosplaying as obscure or underappreciated characters because it was that much more rewarding when someone recognized them or appreciated you for "representing" them, but now that I'm getting up there in years, my mindset is "this had better be worth it". Part of me wonders if I should stop entirely, but Taokaka got so much praise that experiences like that alone keep me going.
