Ok for episode 10 of jrwi the suckening,,

We see Shilo over come sunlight and dance in it right after we learn about Arthur's backstory, mainly how he got turned and went in a frenzy and killed his family. Shilo (fuck tricky time lines ig it's been a week-ish) had just went in a frenzy and killed a guy for the very first time in the last episode. He genuinely does not like that he did that, he shut down for the rest of the scene.

Arthur has been preaching about how vampires need to keep their humanity. Emizel has only been a vampire for a handful of weeks compared to the years of being a human.

Shilo doesn't have that. Shilo has never been a human, and by stepping in to the sunlight he is confronting a unconscious fear that he can't know better. If he's never been a human, and only ever knew other vampires, can he really say he has humanity to hold on to?

He's going to spend eternity in the moonlight, awake in colder nights. I hope he felt some warmth under there.

Traditional benders vs sub benders

Imagine a world where all the subcategories of bending have become so common, that "pure" elemental bending has flipped over to being more rare. And we've already seen the potential of this. In the og atla lighting was rare (only the royal family was using it) and metal bending was just created, but in tlok both sub bendings were being thrown around like extra boomerangs.

We also saw how people adapted to their environments via sand bending and swamp/plant bending. Which poses the question, did sand benders learn "traditional" earth bending before sand? Or did they learn sand first, and would need to change tactics when asked to earth bend? Was there swamp benders who needed to learn how to move water independently? In atla the North Pole only taught healing to women, therefore there was a whole class of waterbenders that could heal, but not much else.

So by taking in real world experiences, where as groups of people mix in communities, and have kids with each other, cultures and identities get mixed and/or diluted down. (Not necessarily in a bad/evil way, but like how some parents put emphasis on their kids learning the new culture and end up neglecting their own cultural heritage). As the kids today might say, we are losing recipes, it could happen here too. We get the new age of benders, that struggle with learning "traditional" bending. Maybe this is following after a age of benders that "specialized" their bendings to a extreme.

Like if a few more generations in, Toph's family only knows how to metal bend. Some fire benders can't actually bend fire, only lightning. There are some communities where fire and earth nations got so intertwined, they only seem to produce lava benders. Generations down in katara and aangs family we get a self proclaimed cloud bender.

This could lead to a conflict where we have traditionalists that view subcategory benders as lesser than those who align with the original tradition bending. We could get a evil avatar out of this story line where from a young age the avatar is raised with these ideals but later gets their redemption (i could go on another messy rant how this is my favorite possibility) Reinforcing the lesson about how being open minded and learning from others with always improve yourself. Or a story line about how it's no longer just four elements the avatar is representing, and shows the lesson about how representation and understanding is still needed after every one got mixed in (because there could easily be 7+ decently sized, different, yet still comparatively niche, ways of bending/culture along with tons of smaller ways of life)

Another conflict that could happen is how rare "traditional" masters are, so that when it's time for the avatar to learn all four elements, it's become increasingly hard. Then we get to see the avatar and their friends learn bending from the original benders, and the lesson is along the lines of how it's still important to understand your roots, and while its impossible to know every fact about the past, the information should always be available to look back at. Maybe the villain is a organization that views "traditional" bending as dangerous and made people too unpredictable or it's a way to nerf civilians (bc a earth bender could potentially learn BOTH metal and lave bending, but preventing knowledge would keep metal and lava benders restricted to one subcategory)

I have so many half baked ideas that all stem from me wanting to see more of the subcategories of bending. And with all the talk about getting to see a new avatar, we've all been wondering what the story could be. I personally love how aang and korra contrasted each other. it doesn't leave much room narratively for a new avatar. BUT by continuing down the themes of how quickly the world has changed, we already saw people questioning the need for a avatar. This also ties in to the ending of tlok, where the avatar cycle has been restarted. A perfect time to introduce a change of duty.

I know correlation does NOT mean causation.

But watching and finishing FMA 2003 does accurately mark when my depression/anxiety started.

FMA 2003 ending lives in my head rent free and is responsible for my therapy.

All that talk about gambling with horses makes me want to see a horse racing track at fobo.

Get some hurdles to jump, or barrels to run around and do a rodeo for the kids. (They can get away with doing both western and english lol)

Give me town of fobo running a underground gambling business at the horse track.

Surely qfoolish having a monopoly on purebred race horses won't have any effect on the outcomes.

Heard the news

[bitchinstrawberry]

Fit and Pac first realize that the other had a crush on Tubbo when they found him asleep on his factory floor.

Pac’s face was positively gooey with affection and worried. The only way to describe him was lovesick.

Fit, although more stoic than his boyfriend, was clearly worried for the youngest member of the Morning Crew in only the way a lover could be. Pac knew Fit’s subtle tells well enough to read him like a book by now.

There’s a moment of relief when they come to the same conclusions about the other. The difficult part was trying to figure out if Tubbo reciprocated their feelings. After all, he had Fred.

Like 5-10 years down the line on one of them is ready to get married. But in order for this marriage to be legal, they have to round up the troops and get the old group back together to do a polyamorous divorce.

They're still good friends with each other, if not a little spread out over distance. But due to a considerable amount of time spent as roommates, various projects, and a few house pets between. The divorce turns ugly with disputes about money and custody over a cat.

Either said hijinks gets resolved semi-reasonably and the campaign ends with a nice ex-poly-marriage dinner party. Or its decided to be easier just to add the new SO in to the marriage and carry on with how things are.

Either way, the longer this bit goes on. The better it gets.

anthony said the dndads s2 epilogue could be a 10 years later high school reunion but i think the funnier option is a 10 years later divorce lawyer reunion

Bc qtubbo is fucking dead, and qfoolish is not available rn, sunny and Leo are sitting next to each other during movie night. Watching their dads on the screen.

Do you think they're taking turns being strong for each other, while the other cries.

Love how all the characters are saying they had no idea about qtubbo only having two lives. He's been saying it since we got to the new island, and expressed how he was at his last life multiple times. (They all thought he was joking)

And now sunny has no one!! (qfit left immediately and qphil Isn't letting this be as angsty as it is/brushing past it) Im so sad over this. Ig this is another instance of other characters underestimating him and not taking him seriously.

As a doozer, we formally invite tubblings to the 9th floor.

Also as a doozer, most of us want more federation/ more of a villain arc out of qfoolish. So I propose a team up.

Town of fobo villain arc where they become the capital of the island, and headquarters of sorts for the feds would go hella crazy.

qtubbo and sunny make me sick. They both got irradiated, and the second qtubbo heard sunny needed milk all priority got placed on her.

All the milk, attempted cures, gapples, and a totem were given to her. All while qtubbo distanced himself so the others could focus on her. He still joked around with the other eggs between fading in and out of consciousness (getting repeatedly knocked and revived, sunny wasn't knocked a single time) but the way he'd stared at sunny, not having a way to help :((

AND THE WAY HE WAS SWITCHING TO F5 AND BACK WAS LIKE HE WAS DISASSOCIATING BETWEEN NOT WANTING TO BE IN SO MUCH PAIN WATCHING HIS DAUGHTER DIE AND HAVING TO BE PRESENT ENOUGH TO COMFORT HER WHILE SCRAMBLING FOR A CURE!!!

(meta wise ik it's a mechanic used to see more, and cc!tubbo uses it frequently for in game use/to fidget)

Also that man had ~20 gapples on him. He ate one at the beginning of radiation, and chunsik gave him one towards the end of his radiation. He could of eaten a few more to save himself some pain, but he was probably holding off incase sunny needed them :(

it's a booming economic town. both in livestock and mechanics. the architecture is no joke either. it's simultaneously a old ghost town, and a city that never sleeps.

they're a odd bunch that use bones to line the walls of their house. the girls weave small bones into flower crowns made for visitors. the wind chimes are also made with bones and various gems.

they all have dirt under their nails, somedays a slight red tint to their finger tips. the metallic smell comes from the machinery they use.

no one gives a straight answer on why the pasture is called the graveyard.

there's something in the wind, the way the dirt feels, the way the water tastes. something that tells you this place is unbalanced. it's not a right to leave the town of fobo alive. but a privilege given to you.

Okay so loving the idea that the town of fobo is just ever so slightly off.

It seems fairly normal on the surface, and the residents are nice enough, but the stench of blood seems to follow them around. There are one too many bones laying around to not raise eyebrows. The resident’s “tie-dye” shirts look too dark to be regular red dye. They have carnivorous livestock and ride horses faster then humans can comprehend.

People go missing if the loiter on the area, and one too many fed agents have come back terrified of birds. The residents greet you with a smile full of slightly too many teeth and a glint in their eye.

The town is empty, and your footsteps echo when you walk. The residents hear you from a mile away and will always be the first to greet you, whether or not you get a send off party is hard to tell.

Their hats and boots are leather, but they laugh off any comment about what kind. They use bones for decoration and blood as paint. They their enemies and kill for their friends. They’re fast, they’re smart, and they’re dangerous. Theyre fobo, and they’re just a bit off.

i love the town of fobo so so much.

it started as a joke, and is now going to be filled with trains and dinosaurs and now horses. i was really hoping to see a industrial/steampunk-y western town, and we might get something like that!

sunny and leo are now getting along really well. sharing beds and soon they'll be sharing a room. both girls are strong and independent, running around the fields and farmlands by themselves. barefoot without a care in the world despite their past lives as rich heirs. (i'd love to see more art of the four of them being full cowboy for the earlier days of fobo, like sunny in denim overall skirts matching leo's own denim overalls LEO WITH A RED COWBOY HAT?)

qfoolish and qtubbo compliment each other very well. lore wise they both were able to get a lot of info from the feds in their respective ways. they are both really good at the game, and both get obsessive with their goals.

also!! they are both girl dads!! and it's the cutest thing ever! like they both are totally cool with sunny making the walls pink, and adding pink curtains. i guarantee you qfoolish has matching nail polish with leo and qtubbo uses sunny's bows to push his hair back.

and, only if this is a safe place, i kinda like the potential of foolbo as a romantic pair. they already lied once saying qfoolish is sunny's other dad. and qtubbo called them a family that "moved into a fixer upper on a farm" to one of the bunny workers.

the found family of it all makes me so happy!!

still not over the reading of the first chapter of dark puckered hole. i can't believe the dm turned this funny side bit, into a lowkey serious part of lore.

if this goes where everyone is thinking it's going, we're gonna learn a lot from this book (think op magic/bbeg lore/truth behind the black sea).

in the same vain as full metal alchemist!! where government secrets were hidden in a recipe book!

but here we're gonna get a big lore drop in our protag's grandfather's gay smut diary.

[bitchinstrawberry]

this goes so crazy no matter how you contextualize it.

like, your dad won't let you and your mother join him on his pirate ship no matter how much you beg. something about safety, and having stability or whatever grown up stuff they agreed on.

which sucks because if you want to be the greatest pirate ever you should be learning as soon as possible. whatever though, it is what it is,,

until it's been weeks since you've gotten a letter back. and people are starting to say the black rose pirate ship suck. no survivors.

few more days/weeks go by and some scrawny little kid is going around saying he not only knew the black rose pirates, but he was a part of the crew. the stuff he's saying might sound like the fibs of a childhood imagination to most, but price knew there was a whole lot of truth to it.

just the rage that comes with finding out some other kid got the father that YOU should of had. your father abandoned you (intentionally or not), then went and died on you, and that other kid got the childhood you wanted.

i'd be furious.

anyway price being rose's kid is insane. imagine being him out on the streets and finding a boy a year younger than you who never shuts up about your dad's crew. your dad who presumably you hate for abandoning you and your mum and your... younger sibling? anyway i'm very curious about price now and i want him to meet lizzie more than ever

The desert is cold. They all huddled around a heatless fireplace. Nobody has spoken up yet. "Bad?" Max is the first one to speak up in a while. Bad tilted his head in response. "I think... I think I'm ready to go." It was decided, then and there. Bad and Max stood up. "Does anyone else want to come?" The reaper hoped to make only one trip.

"I know a shortcut home, I'm good." Mouse responds. She's wearing a lazy smile.

"We have to find Richas." Pac explains, leaning on Mike who's next to Forever. Felps is on the other side of Pac. Cellbit sits farther from the rest of his family. "I'm not ready..."

"Pomme needs me." Baghera hummed. She's sitting closest to the flame.

"I'll find my way back." Tina was laying back, she was the farthest from the flame aside from Bad and Max.

"Leave? Nah." Foolish was tending the flame.

Bad and Max started to walk across the cold desert. "The boat shouldn't be too far." Bad started when he heard somebody call his name. It's Forever. "Don't get lost, okay?"

"I won't, promise."

Bad is an amazing liar, as always.

a decent amount of people (mostly on twitter) we're saying the purgatory ending was unsatisfying, and i disagree! i think it was flawed but not a total waste.

the team leader 1v1 was great, it's a good way to settle the tie. but also in a timely matter to get to the second half of the day. qphil and qtubbo speaking before the fight was fantastic for both of their story lines.

for having the eggs safety be a huge motivator for everyone listening to the eye, it's silly that only one egg was saved. and it not being a kid of the winners. i'm sure the admins have stuff cooking up for this tho.

as far as the cursed team goes, i never understood it. i'm a foolish POV main, so it's not in my job description tho. there's a chance that this story line wasn't working out how intended, and now it's more of a loose thread. or it's still cooking idk.

And! for who made it to the boat or not, sounds like more updates will come up. for rn i think the intent will be a bigger factor in who actually made it. qbaghera choose to stay. qcellbit saw he was too far so he stopped to message his husband. qmaxo is committing himself to death, qquackity's involved with the eye. qtina, qmouse, and qfoolish where practically on the shore when the video played. realistically in that time they WOULD have made it. so it's up to them if they rushed forward or lagged behind.

it's all crazy and a lil bit messy, but for it being a role play server with a whole bunch of people, it'll take some time to clean up the stories right?
