Interview With The Vampire – 2.08: And That's The End Of It. There's Nothing Else

[buggachat]

ok guys paris under siege is actually legitimately better than mrots (gameplay wise). like you can actually move the camera and the characters actually semi-respond to your button presses. this is so much more of a game than the other one

Okay, so the answer to this is that in modern Yugioh, the graveyard has essentially become, as many like to put it, a 'second hand'. In that there are now so many cards with effects that activate when they are sent to the graveyard, or can just be otherwise activated while they are in the graveyard, you would frankly be hard-pressed to find any modern Yugioh deck that wouldn't suddenly have SEVERAL options to start a combo if half their deck was sent to the graveyard.

And that goes ESPECIALLY for the higher-tier power decks out there. For those, getting half your deck sent to the graveyard is pretty much being handed an 'I Win' button for the utterly insane amount of crazy shit those decks can pull off. I mean for context, one of the most infamously powerful decks of the last few years (and possibly of all time) was pretty much nothing but graveyard effects. Check it out here, if you dare lol

Oh, and Golden Castle's whole 'can't be destroyed by any effects' bit? Yeah, modern Yugioh has PLENTY of ways to get around that too XD

Like here's a random card that deals with Golden Castle no problem :D

this is the worst thing that could happen right now

This little NPC is lost. The Narrator [Black] has come to guide her back to where she needs to be. [Blank Scripts AU]

I imagine Black would be a lot more tolerant toward his NPCs since they're basically just the Dungeons spawns, and by extension, his own creations.

[If you're familiar with manhwas / manhuas that features the dungeon / system genre, you'd be able to understand this AU a lot easier. The majority of my inspiration for worldbuilding came from those specific genres.]

[NOTE: 'Dungeon' is just another term for the Parable. Technically, Black owns a Dungeon and the Parable is just a small part of it. The Dungeon itself is much, much larger.]

For context, the comic below references this post about the Dungeon's children/guard dogs.

[They're more like the immune system since all they do is make sure the (body) is safe.]

[The reason the Narrator [Black] considers them his children is that the Dungeon is feeding off his energy and in turn shares the 'nutrients' to the monsters it produces, which transforms them into an image that resembles his power.]

And the old man below is Joseph!

Joseph is NOT AN NPC! He is a person who exists outside of the Dungeon!

[There are two separate 'worlds' for this AU. Inside the Dungeon (where most of the game-like stuff is happening) and the world outside (pretty much their normal world.)]

[There is a secret third world, and that's our world. Our reality.]

These characters are not actually important or anything, I just made them to make the AU feel more lively. To make a world that exists, you know?

When the Narrator [Black] first established himself in their world, he found a growing problem with homelessness. Not understanding human norms or why this has become a problem in the first place, he offers (tricks) them into working for him as janitors for the Dungeon and they accept for the money.

Most of them left after they got paid, but Joseph was one of the people who stayed. He doesn't have anywhere else to go and has no ambitions in life. He just wishes to live a peaceful life with food and a roof over his head.

Joseph defaults to referring to the Narrator [Black] with feminine terms due to his appearance despite his voice. The Narrator [Black] is not the type to care for such terms anyway so he doesn't care how other people refer to him as long as there's respect.

--------------

This post focuses more on the worldbuilding and background aspects of the AU! There are a lot more in store for the Blank Scripts AU, and I want to explore more on how the characters might interact with their surroundings and how this would work to make a world that makes sense.

It would be so cool if people made self-inserts or OCs for my AU actually. I'd love to see how you guys would work with my stuff. Play around with it like a barbie world for your little barbie dolls. Be canon compliant, be canon divergent, who cares, have fun.

Anon who sent the huge ask about ogres in Melini: I see your ask but you have worded it in a very strange way that's why I didn't respond the first time. But since you send it again I'll at least answer your question

"Would Laios help the Ogres and let them stay in Melini?"

Probably! If they want to move there! At the end of the manga we can see that Melini is a place that accepts different people including demi-humans and that what that one of Laios priorities is to find ways to better feed everyone so nobody goes hungry, so I don't see why Ogres (who are considered human) wouldn't be welcome to join

That being said relocating ogres as a way to "stop them from going extinct" isn't really, idk, ethical? Lots of real life implications there which aren't great.

The ideal situation is to make their own home into a place where they can exist not to uproot them and move them somewhere else for "their own good". Honestly even them HAVING to move somewhere else cause that's their only option to save their culture/avoid going extinct would be pretty sad. And the research Laios does about food sources is bound to help everyone not only the people from Melini.

Shuro is the one with local power to help at least the ones in the Island of Wa , I think the bigger issue isn't their population decline (elves are also suffering a population decline) but rather the abuse they suffer.

Please, Madame Kana, spare a crumb of your upcoming yandere fic 🥺 I need this version of Jinwoo in ways that are concerning to feminism.

Courtney omg 🥺 my writing is nothing as majestic as yours but here you go 😭

“J-Jin—” Your words stuck in your throat the second you witnessed the fury in his eyes. You’d never seen it before—didn’t even think it was possible for such consuming rage to reside in the pair of the gentlest sapphires you’d ever seen. He wasn’t looking at you, not at your face. His gaze was fixated on the bruise that had besmirched your neck, forming in the shape of another man’s fingers. He breathed out heavily, his wrath threatening to take over and destroy everything around him, but when he caressed his fingertips along the marks, they were as light, as cold, as gentle as the first snow of December.

“I shouldn’t have killed him,” Jinwoo spoke through clenched teeth, his voice the quiet rumble of an impending storm. “I should’ve tortured him.”

Update: Yandere Jinwoo fic has already been posted! Read it here.

Special little gifset dedicated to the bond between Giorgios & Rusty!

Thought now would be a good time to post it, considering the occasion. So, here's a warm Happy Father's Day to the best human dad that Rusty has ever had!!! :]

[khattikeri]

you ever think about how japanese villainess stories overwhelmingly tend to follow the trend of "everyone calls her a villainess but ACTUALLY she's a genuinely kind, downtrodden, misunderstood girl whose actions and intentions get maliciously twisted by her enemies!!!" and then ponder the beautiful parallels between that and japanese war crime denialism

[letmetellyouaboutmyfeels]

I had a lot of concerns about the writing direction going into the end of season seven. Hen's story line, Eddie's story line, and Bobby's story line all deeply concerned me. I thought none of them were good and that Hen and Eddie's were also particularly and thoughtlessly cruel. Then season eight was really bringing it back for me. I was having a good time, really enjoying it all, felt like the first five seasons again.

And now this.

Call me when Buddie goes canon, I guess.

I BEG YOUR FINEST FUCKING PARDON????? HOW DID THIS FLY OVER MY FUCKING HEAD??????? THEY WERE HOLDING HANDS?????????? 😭😭😭😭😭💗💗💗💗💗

[impmansloot]

bro free kingdom come: deliverance from gamer bros who think that the story in the second game is empty because henry didn't achieve some hero-type greatness. like we here on this website argue who's the most media illiterate when you have these fellas viewing a story about war, loss, revenge, guilt, and ultimately love as something that should instead be a power fantasy which congratulates your character for defeating the big bad and if it doesn't then it must mean that the story sucks actually cause you didn't really achieve anything i guess
