Okay, hear me out, what if Dream’s map wall is actually just him learning how to read maps. Like because Techno made fun of him in prison for not knowing how and he realized while sitting in prison that it was a life regret he had that he couldn’t do so…

I appreciate it when writing runs off with a mind of its own. The bit I uploaded just now for the ask game is from a chapter currently titled "Library chapter (finally) but maybe I’ll cut this because Sonic’s already seen Silver smile while talking about it and then I don’t need to design the library either plus them looking for coordinates is probably boring as all hell".
Guess who spent some time this morning figuring out what plants can best be put in a library so the moisture doesn't damage the books' paper, and who had Silver spent a good 200 words exclusively infodumping about that? And then went to research how coordinates work exactly to find out how they can be found in a book? XD

Hi! Sorry if this is too similiar to the one requested before, but what about
"Lets go skating!"
And "dont fall on the black ice"
With a reader who used to be a figure skater, and they find a frozen lake to skate on. Daryl is shit at skating (understandably lol) so the reader kinds teaches him some stuff like how to go, stop, and do a spin. But then he falls in a thin part and she patches him up. But hes all pouty cause hes supposed to be the "big tough guy".
Uhh ya idk XD im gonna start skating again tomorrow (i had to take 2 years off) so i kinda wanted something involving skating. But if its too similiar or u dont like it feel free to do whatever! :)
Omg I love it! It's not too similar at all! It's got a different plot and everything so you're all good.
I love this idea so much, thank you for sending it in. I will add it to the queue.
And that's awesome! Skating is so hard. I tried picking up roller skating a while back and that did not go well lol, but I'm also not coordinated at all so that could be a factor.
But ice skating is so cool, and I'm glad you're starting again! That'll be so fun, and I'm sure you'll get back into the swing of things. I usually do whenever I pick something up after not doing it for a while.
Good luck, and thanks again! It'll be coming soon!

RWBY VOLUME 8 EPISODE 7 SPECULATION AFTERMATH!!!
SPOILERS!!!
SPOILERS!!!
SPOILERS!!!
Hello Hello Hello!!! XD Another Week........and the last episode of RWBY before the hiatus is out!!!! Sorry I am late AGAIN (busy with work) but let’s dive right in and see what I got RIGHT and what I Definetly got WRONG from my Speculation post!!
-Sigh.........I got everything wrong in my speculation post šŸ˜‘.......ya know....stuff like this can make someone wonder what is even the point of writing. Like.....you can write whateeeeever you think is going to happen, from theories you have thought about for months or speculations you made after an episode airs....only to find out NONE of them becomes true. Revelations like this can make just about anyone bitter.......angry even, towards the creators who make the things you love just because they didn’t do the things you wanted to happen.....to what ā€œIā€ wanted to happen. You know what I have to say about that.......I Don’t Give A S*** I Was Wrong, I STILL LOVE RWBY!!! 😤 I can make a million theories and speculations that could be right or wrong but at the end of the day RWBY is still one of the rare few series that can make my imagination go WILD!!! šŸ˜†.....(not like that you perverted F***s 🤨) So what I am trying to say is that I was HORRIBLY WRONG AGAIN, but I STILL LOVED THE EPISODE!!!! Here my thoughts about it.......
-(Salem) Ok......i’ll be honest....I was really disappointed with Salem’s small involvement in the episode šŸ˜”. I was really hoping we could finally see how she fights on her own but I have to understand that there is more within the plot that needs to be shown then my selfish desire of seeing Salem kicking some ass šŸ˜“. The only positive thing I can take away from this small scene is that it confirmed what I always thought.....that Salem is the kind of woman dramatic enough to cause about a catastrophe and play about as if it were her own Orchestra lol XD. Oh! And tremendous work from CRWBY with the set up of the battlefield between the Grimm and Ironwood’s forces. I was amazed by the incredible number of character models that was placed within the episode to showcase the large scale of the battle between two great forces and I can’t wait to see how much more CRWBY could do in the future battles!
-(Oscar/Ozpin & Hazel) I more or less thought that this would be the direction that Ozpin would take to try and reason with Hazel (revealing Salem’s curse origins) but I didn’t expect for Oscar to reveal jinn’s name to him to get him to listen šŸ¤”. Now while I do understand that this may prove beneficial for Oscar and Hazel’s future trust with one another, I still feel like it may not be the right time for Hazel to switch sides just yet story wise. I think Hazel will still be under Salem’s command by the end of the season but there’s no doubt that Oscar will make Hazel begin to question Salem’s plans and agenda for gathering the relics.
-(Emerald, Mercury & Tyrian) Hmmm I have been thinking about it and I also think it would be a good idea if Emerald would be the one to ask the last question to Jinn, considering that the two share a connection with the tale of Aladdin. The question now is......what will be her question šŸ¤”? I am honestly quite surprised that Mercury and Tyrian are going to Vacuo this early in the volume. From Salem’s standpoint it would make sense to send her followers to the next relic, given that she is nearly about to obtain her second relic within the next few hours. I am a bit disappointed that they are leaving though, especially Tyrian, because i was hoping that there would be a conclusion with his and qrow’s fight in Atlas, given what happened with Clover last volume. I kind of want to hope that they will turn around and return to Atlas near the end of the volume due to Vacuo forces heading it’s way towards Atlas and that they would need to warn Salem, but so far we don’t know if Ruby’s message could convince headmaster Theodore to deploy his huntsmen to fight Salem so we’ll just have to wait and see.
-(May Marigold) Clap...Clap...Clap...šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘ that Scene was......GOOD!!! I am glad for the Trans community to be givin more representation for themselves and I hope the trend will continue on in the future in other prominent series and tv shows.
-(Weiss & Whitely) Ok......as much as this scene between the two siblings warmed my heart, I’m gonna have to play devils advocate and say that I still don’t fully trust Whitley just yet. While this may look like a good direction for Whitley’s character, we still have a long way to go between the whole Schnee family to fully see where Whitley wants to do going forward in his life. So for now I’ll trust that he is doing this ā€œkindnessā€ for Weiss and her friends because he wants to help, but I’ll keep an open mind on what he does in the future. Also BEST DAD KLEIN IS BACK!!!! WOOHOO!!! šŸ˜†šŸ˜†šŸ˜†
-(Ren & The Ace-Ops) Oh Ren.......while I’m glad to see you evolve your semblance and realize your current ā€œfaultsā€ for your character arc this volume.....I can’t help but feel terrible for you for this revelation 😄. With Ren’s new Ability he can now see a person’s current feelings and emotions as if they were different colored petals. With this new found power he was quick to realize the inner turmoil of each member of the Ace-Ops and the storm of emotions within Winter Schnee. But I, as an audience member, was also quick to realize that Ren’s new ability could serve another purpose, specifically for the Shipping fandom.....if Ren is now able to see the feelings of anyone he has his vision set upon, he could easily tell who has feelings of ā€œloveā€ for one another!? For example: if he were see Yang talking with or about Blake for any reason, he would be able to see petals of ā€œloveā€ swirling around her and determine Yang has feelings for Blake. And not just them.....but he could foresee what could potentially be future canon ships down the road for other characters as well!!! Now as well you and I know the shipping fandom can be kind of........crazy🤪, and with this sudden realization Lie Ren has just became the Shipping Community’s messiah of canon ships 😭. Good luck Ren!!! You’ll need it!!! Lol
-(Penny) Alright as heart wrenching that this cliffhanger was....I can’t help but feel that it was too ā€œplot convenientā€ for Penny to just land exactly where Ruby and her group were hiding out after her downfall from Amity in episode 5 🤨. Maybe before she shut downed she could have tried to alter the course of her landing to land near Ruby’s last coordinates but I have some doubts for that theory šŸ¤”. I don’t know it just felt weird to me lol but despite that this does present an interesting situation because we know Cinder, The Hound and Neo were sent to retrieve Watts to find Penny’s location. So could this mean the long awaited confrontation between Ruby and Cinder is about play out? 😮 I guess we’ll see.....
Overall, despite my personal grievances, the episode was excellent XD and now I am left with the realization that I will have to wait several weeks for the next episode to air......ain’t that a B**** šŸ˜‘
Quick note: I’m sorry this took so long to post but I have been busy with my 12 hour shift job and it has left me exhausted 🄵. Hope everyone has a merry Christmas and a happy new year!!! 🄳.........plz let it be a good year.....

24. do you want to change your name – i did in the past, because my name is very rare where i live. but i started to like it after some time. the great thing is that it’s meaning differs since no one really knows it’s true origin.Ā 
25. what did you do for your last birthday -Ā i invited my two best friends but one happened to be sick at that day (慠慠慠慠慠慠) so we were only two but it was great anyway. since i was born the day after walpurgis night we went to the bonfire and spent some time there

37. what do you like about yourself – don’t get me wrong, i know it sounds tragical and sad, but i don’t have something i like 100% about myself. i am used to it though because i’ve been this way since forever, having high standards for me (and for others probably too, which is very unfair from me) but the closest to 100% is my talent for music.Ā  Ā  Ā 
38. want any piercings? – only at my ears
39. blood type – A positive

45. tattoos – i’m not allowed to have any yet but i’m thinking about getting smaller ones later since i think tattoos are pretty. buuuuut i’m also afraid because i can’t really imagine the pain
46. right or left handed - right
47. ever had surgery – yeah. unspectecular story tho.
48. piercings - only earrings but one of my friends and i plan on getting helix piercings soon (originally this was planned to be done before last christmas but we never found time)
49. sport – no no no no no. i hate it. i always did. i did some horse riding in my childhood but that’s it. i’m just not able to coordinate my body so a fail at basically every kind of sport. and i am easily frustrated when i fail at something so i never really tried to ace sports.Ā Ā 
50. vacation – my last vacation was when i visited Berlin with my two best friends and m next vacation will be in Denmark with my family
51. trainers – Converse Chucks, always and forever <3
more general

58. career – the biggest question mark in my life rn
which is better
59. hugs or kisses - hugs. i can’t even explain why. but hugs.

Sailor Moon is super awesome! Also what character would you roleplay as if you joined a roleplaying server? Being Chara was a no brainier for me for reasons, and I'm a bigger dork than Alphys lol. I'd tinker with machines if I had good hand eye coordination. All I can do stuff with is software. Right now I am reading the source code of a Windows 95 VM and understanding the code since it is Javascript. That emulator is so cool. I have a feeling you would be Joyce, but I am not sure.
If I were to roleplay, yeah, I would very likely try to be Joyce, at least some of the time. I still don’t really know how roleplaying works, but I imagine Joyce would be myĀ ā€œeasy modeā€ roleplaying character, because anything Joyce would do is something I would probably do, so I’d be roleplaying as myself. :P
If you’re asking for an Undertale character I’d roleplay as, then I’d probably go with another nice and safe option and play as Frisk. But then again, I don’t know... if I actually want to play a role and be someone who isn’t me or some blank slate character, then I might play one of my favorite characters, like Papyrus, or Undyne, someone who is the opposite of me. Someone who’s boistrous, loud and crazy fun to be. XD
Your question also reminded me of another question someone asked me in the past, if I had to make up a new OC that wasn’t human, who would it be. So if I came to a roleplay server and it was okay to play as an OC, I’d be Verdana the skeleton. ^_^ (Read about her here) I still don’t know what her personality is like, since I haven’t thought about her in forever, but I think she’d be a lot more...badass than Joyce? Don’t get me wrong! I love Joyce! She’s sweet and cute and lovable and happy-go-lucky, but I have a feeling that Verdana would be the...Ā cool one, y’know? :P
Also, if anyone wants to make fanart of her, I’m still waiting. XD

foundcarcosa replied to your post: ā€œyou know while i’m on the subject, healers are full of shit with this...ā€:
this is why my pussy ass won't do anything if I can't solo... this post gave me cross-eye lmfao (I don't think I have the coordination/mental capacity to be a good gamer so I stay in my lane /so/ I don't piss anyone off, everyone's happy, the end)
i think the key is finding a chill, fun group to play with. group content is scary af if you don’t have a nice guild. I was lucky becauseĀ at the time i started i was dating a dude who was raid leader in a guild, and he eased me into it that way. i learned a lot just by watching him. hell they would invite me into vent when they were raiding even when i was a fresh noob just leveling up, to give me an idea of what to expect. I picked up on things pretty quickly and started. it helped that bf was a druid, and one of the rare few that was crazy good in every single spec. normally he was our main tank, but he healed a lot, and I remember one night when we were doing ZA one of the other healers couldn’t make it and bf was stuck at work, so he called me and asked me to log onto his toon and do it. I was scared shitless and had never healed on WoW before, in anything, mostly i just tried to remember what he did and flailed and tree’d at people XD it worked out though. but I was also in a group of friends that was patient and understanding.
jumping into the deep end with randoms is...bad, lol. we didn’t have dungeon/raid finder when i started and so you had to spam trade chat or w/e to find people to run heroics with if no one in your guild could do it. we made a lot of friends that way, if somebody was especially cool we’d friend each other and hit them up to do things with. that’s how I ended up doing a lot of the 25 man-only raids in BC despite being in a 10-man guild. it took a certain amount of willingness to put yourself out there, and i think people were more patient back then just because it took SO long to get groups some times, people were much more forgiving and willing to tough it out. also the 5 man content was a lot harder and not really zerg-able unless you were stupid overgeared with raid stuff. people had to talk more and work together.
it’s harder to find community like that now. lfg encourages a lot of troglodyte type behavior and there’s no shame in being anxious about it, it can be really intimidating.Ā dandy’s been playing for years and is still too timid to do it, so we two-man older content for fun and transmog gear. that’s really fun too, tbh--more fun than farming the same shit over and over again for gear I’ll just replace in the next patch. legion at least is good for soloing in terms of the world quests, world bosses, etc.

naisu, Kongdoo Panthera
I have a terrible schedule because I watch Apex streams live and what is a reasonable hour in Korea is decidedly not in the US. So I was mostly asleep for Kongdoo Panthera vs LW Blue but I -was- awake for their win. Wooooo Panthera! I was irrationally worried that they wouldn't win despite LW Blue missing their main tank, because that would be embarrassing. How unlucky for LW Blue though :( They'd been doing really well and before the season started a lot of people predicted that they'd win the whole tournament - but Janus being out with a friggin collapsed lung basically just sunk their chances. It's kind of ironic that if they'd just lost in the last round, they would have another chance in the loser's bracket for Group B. But instead they're just out of the tournament. Feelsbadman. But it's not something anyone could've helped. Hopefully Janus will get better soon, poor guy. Panthera is so good at chaining their offensive ults. I've mentioned before that I love both Birdring and Rascal as DPS players but they really do play very well on an individual level and as teammates. It's like, Dragonblade first to draw out the defensive Transcendence, and once that or the rez or whatever is out, then tac visor to secure the kills and make it a clean team fight. Since a single good offensive ult can be easily countered by one defensive ult, it's just good planning to be able to chain the attacks and finalize the kills in the end. And both Rascal and Birdring are good enough at building ult that they have it to use quite frequently. If my comp team had that level of coordination I'd probably cry lol But we're obviously not pros, so I'm not complaining. Anyways I hope Panthera does well in the semis too! I'm terrible at understanding tournament schedules so I'm not 100% on this but I think they they'll be playing whoever wins the Lunatic-Hai vs Conbox matchup from the Loser's bracket. I can wish for a Conbox victory but that's basically impossible...sorry Conbox. They're generally considered to be the weakest team in the top. So it'll most likely be a Panthera vs Lunatic-Hai rematch. Exciting stuff! The third time they'd be facing off in the tournament - jeezus. Panthera, bring it home and make it 2 series to 1 over Lunatic! Well, that's still hypothetical and also a ways off, so I'm getting ahead of myself XD Uhh if I'm not remembering incorrectly, I just remembered that LW Blue ran a Mercy-Ana defense on the first point of Route 66 with no Pharah. I bring it up because it was so baffling. I don't understand that decision at all. Mercy is more popular in pro play nowadays because the Pharmercy comp works so well in dive - but without Pharah? Mercies still suffer from the fact that they are incredibly easy to kill. Especially if she's grounded and has no way to escape to the sky, which is the primary benefit that running Pharah with Mercy offers (not including the sustain that a Mercy gives Pharah). Panthera ran Mercy-Widow with Luffy and Birdring, but that's not really surprising given they've done it before with considerable success on Route 66's first point, both offense and defense. But LW Blue didn't even have a Widow to boost. It was kind of bizarre. Mercy is really only useful for her rez at that level of play, and if your defense get wiped in the first team fight and Mercy can't build a rez fast enough, what are you gonna do? I don't get it, anyways. I mean their composition was fucked without Janus one way or another, and it was match point, maybe they were just trying something. I'm also quite impressed with Luffy's flex onto Soldier. He's like the next HarryHook or something. He's done quite well, and it's a pretty unusual comp that offers Panthera a lot of flexibility with an unusual triple DPS. Way better than Team Canada running Roolf on Hanzo, Tracer, and Zarya lmao, whatever that was. Sorry Roolf but that didn't make any sense. Plus Team Canada stuck with a 2-2-2 comp but had Agilities, a DPS player, playing support, as Roolf, a support player, played DPS... It's good that they can flex but lord that exhibition vs Team USA looked really bad. Sure everyone had fun but it was like watching casual competitive. So awkward. And yes I know Jake switched to Lucio at the end and let Rawkus be Pharah, but 1) Rawkus regularly practices DPS (though maybe Roolf does too I dunno) and 2) Team USA was clearly winning and probably only did it because Canada was doing it. It was also supremely awkward that they had Mangachu on DVa. I don't think I've ever seen Mangachu play tank, ever. And to go up with extremely good, experienced tanks like Coolmatt69 and FctFctn, feelsbadman. I wonder if those are the roles Team Canada is going to stick with when we get to the actual World Cup - I'd say almost certainly not, since it's so far away and they probably didn't wanna show off any strats in a meaningless exhibition event - but it's still a question of who can play what. I recognize all the names on Team Canada and they're clearly all very talented pro players, but when you have too many DPS on a team, what are you going to do? Make them play not DPS, I guess. Honestly that gives a lot of credence to the idea behind Team USA, where KyKy, Jkap, and Ster wanted to pick people who played well together and got along interpersonally. Like a real team. That's one benefit of having so many players to choose from, is that you don't need to rely on the only six (or only one - sorry Iceland) pros you have at all in your country, you can pick and choose to see, ok who plays what role, who likes each other, who can flex (especially since we don't know what the meta is even going to look like, come November). They certainly could've picked bigger names, but the idea of building the team around Adam who's extremely experienced at shotcalling and directing a team, even if his individual play isn't "the best", is a solid one. I like Rawkus (happy birthday dude) so it's nice to see him on Team USA. Having both him and FctFctn, who already play together, on the same team is also a huge bonus cuz tank/support play is what a team is built on. I'm also pleasantly surprised at how normal and well-spoken Jake seems lol. His post-game interview with Goldenboy went bizarrely well, considering how awkward most pro players are. Good for him, he both spoke well and made actual good meaningful points which is honestly a rarity in pro esports XD Anyways goooo Team USA! I still wonder who Monte and Doa would've picked but I'm pretty happy with the current lineup. I want them to kick the shit out of Team France because Team France is just going to be Rogue. Ugh Rogue. I want the meta to shift away from dive both because I don't enjoy dive comps (both as a player and as a spectator) and because Rogue loves it. Get fucked Rogue lol. If they'd showed any sign of flexibility or any scrap of ability to play something else, I'd be more sympathetic, but instead we have Winz blaming their poor performance at Apex on "not liking the food". Fuck you Winz, kimchi is great and you know that you did shitty only because your team couldn't adapt. Also Winz apparently doesn't play solo queue ranked. He only plays with his team. No wonder he doesn't know what to do when someone reaches the payload where he's afking and he gets his shit pushed in. This post is really long woops - that's all for today's update of Dry's Thoughts on Pro Overwatch.
