Ok, gonna preface this by saying I obviously condemn irl cults and the physical/mental abuse they put vulnerable people through, everything I'm about to say is pure fantasy

Imagine going on a retreat with a large group you've recently joined. A getaway off in the wilds for you all to relax, get in tune with yourselves and socialise. You end up staying in a huge renovated barn with plenty of space for everyone and a huge communal hall for meals, where the founders of the group welcome you and you're served dinner

The first week passes by well, there's plenty of fun artsy activities - nothing too athletic or mentally taxing - and you're encouraged to sleep in and kick up your feet. During the second week is when you start to notice that everyone (except the founders) is looking a little more... plump. The food being served is always very dense, carb heavy and in large portions. You're told to eat everything up to feel more warm and whole in yourself, to relax more to let it nourish you. When anyone raises concerns about gaining weight, the founders tell you all to love and accept any changes your bodies may go through on the retreat, because they were clearly meant to happen to you... and with everyone's bodies and brains being encouraged to work less... you all just accept it and continue to grow

By the time anyone would have realised it was a cult and that the barn is actually your new home to grow fat in and be admired by the founders, you'd all become too dumb and docile to do anything about it, made to adore your plumping bodies with positive affirmations and such pleasant touches. Maybe the food they've been feeding you all induces lactation... maybe you've all been made into a loyal barn full of fattened cattle, happy to be exploited for their milk in exchange for more food and a comfy bed to sleep in alongside your fellow cows, so happy to have found such perfect relaxation, not even caring to remember your previous life

Something I might write later as a fic: I wonder what nightmares must have been like for Max growing up. The kid thing to do after having one is like- sneaking into ur parents bedroom to sleep with them for comfort but he didn't get that. Maybe Hugh could be there in a couple instances but other times, Max just had to deal with it. Alone

And after the events of the trilogy, he'd be even more likely to have nightmares after ALL THAT and he'd be used to not getting much comfort after the nightmare

And like... Imagine Nova being there... She notices and is there whenever he does have nightmares. And Adrian! Just... Lots of soft potential here like...

Before, if Adrian knew about any nightmares, the best comfort he'd be able to give is being nearby. And afterwards, is able to give that comfort FULLY like SLUMBER PARTY TIME

And Max gets to be a kid and do the kid thing where u go to ur loved ones, even when their asleep, curl up by them so you can feel a little more safe when you fall back asleep I'm ruined by the idea

📂 for Pokemon?

The reason Mega Evolution is not more prevalent in regions other than Kalos is because other regions have outlawed it, the transformations being too recklessly harmful to the Pokemon.

Mega Evolution is labeled as animal abuse in other regions.

Being an autistic man (especially with flat affect) is like

*says something inoffensive as gently and delicately as I can, thoroughly explaining my intentions and using a soft submissive tone*

*gets fucking screamed at and accused of being aggressive anyway*

Today’s gameplay progress:

I reached level 90 as a black mage at last!!!! Part of me still feels a bit bad that I didn’t make this the first class I reached the level cap as, considering that it was the class I started the game as, but.. doing it this way has meant I was using it for lots of the story, so that was nice at least. I also just barely got to level 89 as a reaper, so that should get to the cap very nicely as well soon!

Speaking of the story, I made it to the last level 88 main story quest today! I believe this means I have 15 quests left of Endwalker, but there are multiple trials and dungeons included in those quests, so.. I’m not 100% sure I will be able to get through them all by the end of tomorrow. I can certainly try, though!

I would have continued playing more story this evening after I got back, but I ended up creating a design for Tsutsuji’s ancient instead! Her name is Kirsion, a Greek word that I believe gave rise to the Latin Cirsium, which is a genus of thistle. And also reminds me a lot of Circe, the sorceress.

Here is a picture of what she looks like! Hopefully it gets her vibes across, hehe

Kirsion was the holder of the seat of Azem in my version of events, because she fits the personality traits given in the game - such as “being a headache to her colleagues” - rather perfectly, ahaha. She’s chaotic, endlessly energetic, and a whirlwind of activity and enthusiasm; she does whatever she likes whenever she likes, whether it’s modifying her robes or bouncing off towards a new adventure, and she’s not going to let other people’s opinions stop her from barrelling into action! If any original concept can be attributed to her, it’s her namesake purple flower that she modelled after the spikiness of her hair - which is, of course, nowadays known as a thistle!

That’s all that I really have for now, apart from one thing.. but i like the idea of it being a bit of a secret, so let’s go under the readmore to talk about it.

You may be thinking that Kirsion’s thistle theming is supposed to complement Tsutsuji’s azalea theming. Both of their names mean those respective flowers, so both of them are based on each respective flower, right?

Well, they’re actually both thistle-themed, in fact! This is because Tsutsuji’s real name is Azami, which is the Japanese word for thistles. My initial plan was to actually have her ancient also be called Azami, especially after finding out that Azem is pronounced with the same sort of “ah” sound at the beginning (as opposed to how I’d been reading it in my head, which was more like “ei-zem”, like the letter A). However, I thought the idea of naming her ancient after a common ancestor of azaleas and thistles might be fun, except I couldn’t really find much information on that, especially since there are a lot more flowers known as thistles than I had been aware of. This then led me to look into the etymology of the word “thistle” itself, and that is how I settled on Kirsion (which also better fits the overall Greek theming of much of the world unsundered).

That’s all I had to say~

gale's reaction to mystra telling him to blow himself up is obviously heartbreaking but on the other hand it is deeply DEEPLY hilarious when Gale, Learned professor of renown, is like "if there was another way to defeat the absolute don't you think the goddess of magic would have thought of it" and the band of badly socialized half-feral murder children he's running with just go "well maybe the goddess of magic is stupid, gale"

you know, I've been thinking about it, and there is actually one single scenario in which I would be okay with not getting a big ol' "Silver Vanrouge" out of Lilia.

(just kidding, I still need some "call me Silver, Mr. Vanrouge is my father" in my life, please don't let me down on this one Twst)

Mr. Fenton is a competent teacher. Almost too competent.

If Mr. Daniel Fenton had any more than a BS (with a minor in education), Tim would’ve flagged his profile as a potential Rogue. That’s the way of most charismatic academics, at least in Gotham. (Got a PhD? Instant watchlist.) Instead, he’s Gotham Academy’s newest celebrity, as a young, passionate, out-of-towner substitute while the chemistry teacher’s on maternity leave.

Tim gets the hype. Fenton seems to genuinely love teaching, and is invested in the welfare of the student body. He hands out bananas during exam week, hosts a “study habits seminar” each month to coach effective learning strategies, and the third time Tim falls asleep in his class, he even pulls Tim aside to ask if he’s doing okay. With all the late work he accepts and the protein bars he sneaks Tim, he’s every teen vigilante’s dream teacher. He could’ve been Tim’s favorite.

In fact, Mr. Fenton was Tim’s favorite. Up until Tim walks into Mr. Fenton’s chemistry classroom for a forgotten textbook, an hour after the final bell.

On the board where tallied scores for today’s review game had been kept, “THE CHEMISTRY BEHIND DR. CRANE’S FEAR GAS: ANXIOGENICS, NERI’S, & YOU,” is now scrawled. A detailed diagram of the human endocrine system projects in front of a small crowd of adoring and attentive students.

Fenton is wrist-deep in the skull cavity of an anatomical model. A short tug, and out pops the brain.

It’s plastic. It’s fake.

Tim identifies the nearest emergency exit.

Fenton turns to the door, and in the dark classroom with the projector illuminating half his face, his eyes almost seem to flash red. “What’s up, Tim?” he asks. His friendly grin is too big for his face. “I didn’t know you wanted to join the Just Science League!”

[OR: Danny’s a science teacher at Tim’s school. Gotham’s a pretty wild place, even for someone who grew up a superhero in a ghost-infested town, so he takes it upon himself to start a club teaching kids how to manage themselves in the event of a crisis. These Gothamites are pretty hardy, but a little extra training never hurt anybody! And he suspects one of his students might be a teen vigilante, like he’d been, back in the day. As a senior super, it's Danny’s duty look out for him! Surely, this is the subtlest and most appropriate way to give the kid pointers.]

[Tim immediately assumes supervillain.]
