Folks talking about Game Devs dropping Unity or how it won't hurt small indie devs with under 200,000. Are missing the point.

Some of these Unity games can't change to another engine because they have years of code piled on top of each other at this point. aka POKEMON GO. They'd basically have to rebuild the game from scratch.

Not to mention Unity is mostly used by phone app games or Indie's that are lucky enough to get picked up by console. Indie games on Mobile easily pass 200,000 downloads. Temple Run 1 and 2 are in Unity, Crossy Road, Angry birds 1 and 2, and Hearthstone. All of these past 200,000 downloads years ago but aren't bringing in money now except hearthstone.

The Developers will do what happened to the first Angry birds app. They'll take it down, build it in a new engine for "HD", and add a shit ton of micro transactions. We are about to lose countless original versions of the OG pre lootbox mobile games.

We are also about to lose some of the biggest Indie games of the last decade. Among Us, Plague Inc., 7 Days to die, the original Slenderman game and it's sequel, I am Bread, Ori and the Blind Forest, Dream Daddy, Overcooked 1 & 2, Pathfinder online, Cup Head, Bendy and the Ink Machine, Oxygen Not Included, Bloons Tower Defense 6, Beat Saber, Subnautica, The Stanley Parable, Untitled Goose Game, Power Washing Simulator, Fall Guys, Inscryption, Phasmophobia

And the big one FUCKING HOLLOW KNIGHT. Silk song has already been pushed back out of this year specifically because it's being made by a team of like 3 people. It is so close to being finished and now they are being told they have to start over from scratch basically. Hollow Knight got over 200,000 downloads from being on playstation and was eventually put on Playstations subscription service. Every cent they made from hollow knight has gone back into making silk song. Which might now be delayed by multiple years and oh they are going to have to use some of that funds to pay unity now. Or find a way to get out of a contract with playstation. Because folks will keep downloading Hollow Knight for free and Unity will send the Hollow Knight team the bill.

oh and there's one more teeny tiny game made in Unity that you guys might not want to suddenly disappear. One with almost 3 years of monthly code updates, one with 139 million downloads to date, and 4.8 million monthly users.

Genshin. Guys Genshin Impact is made completely in Unity and that's not a game that can have it's code just copy and pasted to another engine.

~King of the Dragonfish: Chapter 7~

Obi-Wan uses a faint tendril of force to brush over his kyber, sending the animus of it his affection. It murmurs back at him, ill at ease to be handled by the energy signature it knows as Maul.

With a sigh, the jedi holds the hilt out. “Kneeling wasn't in the agreement.”

The other man sways closer, tense and watchful.

“It would please me to see you on your knees,” the sith says, reaching out and lifting the unlit saber from his palm.

Obi-Wan leans back on a hip, and crosses his arms. “I'm sure it would. Beat me up some more if you must, but I won't kneel to a sith lord willingly.”

Maul squints at him, calculating, and he has the uncomfortable realization that the other man may have simply taken that as a challenge.

“Hmmm…” The half dragonfish hums, twirling Obi-Wan's saber between his fingers, then igniting it.

He can feel the kyber song shudder. It does not want to be wielded in darkness.

Maul makes a swift strike, stopping a matter of inches from his hips. “Perhaps I should take your legs as you took mine… would that not be fair?” The man sneers, “Surely you jedi care about fairness.”

“No,” Obi-Wan counters, not giving an inch despite the sputtering heat of his own blade too close to his side, crackling as it resists this use. “The jedi code isn't concerned with being fair, only just.”

Maul grins. The defiance only seems to please him.

The dragonfish sith extinguishes the blade and sways backward on his tail, retreating to the water's edge. “I will return, and then I will take you to a different cave. Be prepared to go, jedi. I will drag you under either way.”

“Wonderful,” Obi-Wan drawls as Maul backflips into the water, hardly making a splash, “It's a date.”

Alone again, unarmed again, the jedi prisoner scowls and goes to lurk beside the magma ball. It's only mildly warm now, the cooled shell being too good of an insulator. The center of it is likely still fluid, but it's thermal radiance is diminished. Obi-Wan still leans back against it, plotting.

He had been too stressed on that first day to pay much attention to the pathway Maul had taken from open sea to this particular cave as he kidnapped Obi-Wan to it. An oversight on his part. They would be going to a new one though, and as much as he isn't looking forward to the blasted cold, it would provide an opportunity to learn some of the area.

He could pay attention to the path between here and there, and then, maybe in a day or two, find a way to make Maul consider the new cave to also be an unacceptable cell. The sith would move him again. Another opportunity.

It would take time, cunning, and no small amount of manipulation, but if he could map out enough of these caves, he may be able to learn a way out.

The next problem would be getting all the way to the surface, slowly enough to not die of drowning or diver’s sickness.

One problem at a time.

Obi-Wan flips where he's leaning on the magma rock, attempting to warm his front side in advance of this next trip. That's how Maul finds him, practically hugging the misshapen ball of it.

“Jjjedi,” the sith calls to him from the water. “Come.”

Rather than waste energy being difficult when he wants to be focused and aware for the trip to the next cave, Obi-Wan opts to approach the water himself, and -with a grimace- take a deep breath and hop in. He manages to not gasp from the immense chill by a small margin of success. The temperature is bitterly cold, shocking even when he'd prepared.

Regardless of the chill, it's beautiful and alive down here. The seaweed drifts like tall, ribbon grass. The moss glows white and blue. Little fingerling fish with translucent bodies school around pink coral and porous stone.

Amid the beauty, the sith swims over to him, black and red and incongruous with it all… yet a part of it. A monster from above with dual citizenship on the ocean floor.

Maul swishes up to him, fast and graceful, and grabs his tunics before taking off.

‘Well,’ Obi-Wan thinks as he relaxes into the hold, ‘at least he isn't coiling around me like a vice this time.’

Maul glides them through the water, into a small tunnel that opens up into a larger one after only a few feet. Obi-Wan can see it going off to the left and right, lit by the moss. The sith takes them left, around a curve in the tunnel. The path splits into a dark corridor. They go left again, then right.

He hopes they arrive quickly, he'd like to breathe soon.

They go up, across the open sands of a massive cave the size of the senate chamber. The space is brightly lit by orange crystals and purple fish that glow in neon stripes.

He's running out of breath.

Their path leads though a hole in the wall. Obi-Wan looks upward, hoping to see an air pocket…

There isn't one.

Alarmed, he wacks Maul in the chest and gestures at his mouth. Where in the blazes are they going? He needs air! Even with the lungs of a swordfighter and the aid of the force, he has to-

Maul presses their mouths together, and breathes into him.

‘What,’ he thinks dumbly. The jedi master feels six different things at once. His thoughts are mangled by the chaos.

Now his lungs are overful, but the edge is taken off from his need to inhale. Obi-Wan lets some of the air escape him, making a cascade of silvery bubbles erupt around their faces. Maul does it again. A second stale breath fills him.

Oh. Right, yes, okay, the sith has made himself into a rebreather.

Obi-Wan breathes out again…

…and the Dragonfish sith gives him air once more.

… and again.

They breach a water surface and Obi-Wan opens his eyes, blinking owlishly.

When had he closed them??

'Drat,' he thinks, dismayed.

… he'd lost track of their path.

Maul lifts him onto shore, and he feels heat at his back. Obi-Wan rolls towards it before he's even got his bearings, shivering and disoriented.

Mmmmm. Warm.

“This shall serve. A gorogoro cannot pass the threshold to enter unless it is juvenile, the door is too small,” Maul declares, sounding pleased with himself.

“That's nice,” Obi-Wan tells him, trying to get as close to the fresh magma ball as possible without burning himself. He shrimps around it with a sigh.

“You will drink. There is fruit. I shall hunt, while the magma is still hot enough to cook on. Speak your preference, Kenobi, or I will simply bring you crab.”

“I love crab,” he tells the wonderful black stone before him, “but I've no seafood cracker.”

The sith snorts, “You are an idiot,” the man tells him.

With a small splash, he's gone.

Obi-Wan's desire to be warmer fights with his desperate need to hydrate, until finally he gets up and at least looks for the supposed fruit.

There, not five feet away, is a massive pile of coconuts and laundry. He squints at it, making sure he's seeing it right. Did the oxygen deprivation do something to him…?

No, indeed, it's a pile of coconuts and laundry. There's even a laundry line and clothespins mixed up in it.

“Why-” he starts, then shakes his head, “No, nevermind. Let's see if I can split a coconut with the force.”

He can, but it spills the majority of the milk everywhere. Obi-Wan screws up enough coconut crackings to get his clothes covered in it, but who cares? The swim here might've cleaned off most of the octopus viscera, but he is still wet anyway. What's a little more?

The trick, it turns out, is drilling a hole in the top with a sharp rock, and drinking from that.

🔥🔥🔥 don't forget to reblog tysm! 🔥🔥🔥

ROTTMNT Headcanons

For all those that saw the Donnie loves Meat-Lovers Pizza post, here you go. The (in)complete list:

Donnie and Raph are fans of meat lovers pizza, Leo likes supreme, and Mikey likes any and every type of pizza.

April has introduced Mikey to Steven Universe and he is absolutely in love with it. His favorite is Garnet & he likes psychoanalyzing Steven and his trauma in SU Future

Mikey is very good at psychoanalyzing people (especially his family) and many times he has scared off potential enemies and kidnappers because of it (many have been embarrassed as Mikey diagnoses them with daddy issues).

Casey (the female one) is Raph’s new sparring partner

Leo has insomnia and have very bad sleep depreciation because of it. Someone (usually Mikey) is always sure to make him a cup of tea for him in the morning.

Ever since the Kraang invasion, Leo has been much more focused on training and planning. He’s still the witty one-liner faceman we all know and love, but he had a ‘leader mode’ in which no one dares to question him

Donnie has an addiction to Tumblr and regularly quotes posts that no one gets

Donnie’s the type to say ‘bite me’ and ‘die mad’ and ‘kill me now before I do’ and have fatalistic Gen Z humor and you know it

Sexualities: Donnie’s bisexual, Leo’s gay, Mikey’s pan, Raph’s asexual, and April’s lesbian. That’s right. They’re all queer. No one is safe? More like no one is straight. Well okay actually both, they are dangerous queers.

Donnie & Leo settle non-serious arguments through Hamilton (and other musicals) songs and making Mikey (Raph can never choose a winner) tell them who sung better. Yep. That’s right. They’re both theater kids (as if we didn’t know that already).

Mikey and Leo graffiti places they know belong to generally bad people (especially the racists and homophobes) thanks to the investigative reporter skills of one April O’Neil.

After the Shredder, Splinter started training April in the ways of the ninjitsu and the Hamato Clan. She still isn’t on the same level as the turtles, but she’s getting there

Donnie has built April a high-grade titanium bat for when she comes along on missions and patrol with them

Donnie has also reinforced April’s glasses so they are much harder to break

Ever since Leo’s figured out his sexuality and came out, he has been using every opportunity he can to flaunt how not-straight he is.

Upon a dare Donnie has sung the entirety of Bohemian Rhapsody. Leo has it recorded for possible blackmail.

Mikey came out as pan with a pun while making pancakes one morning and Leo’s never been more proud of him.

April and Hamato sibling solidarity. ‘Oh but aren’t April and Donnie supposed to be love interests—‘ no, shut up, they’re siblings and there’s nothing you can do about it. (Note: I don’t hate on Rise Apriltello shippers, let shippers be shippers)

Ever since the Kraang Invasion and filling his role as leader, Leo has been more overprotective of his siblings and suspicious of other people. You want to befriend the Hamato clan? Good luck trying to get past his odachi.

Sometimes Leo or Donnie will break out into dramatic duets with each other and when they do this no can stop them.

Leo & Donnie are big fans of Owl City.

Donnie has built them a VR set with a version of Beat Saber the turtles use to train and has made it so the controls can generate their weapons. Leo, the training-obsessed turtle that he is, uses it the most. Inspired by this.

enderwiggin24 on ao3 asked for more NMJ decides to kill so here’s one version of how that could continue

“I have proof!” Xiao Xingchen exclaimed, bursting into the room.

Everyone turned to stare at the young man, even Nie Mingjue…though in his case, he just sighed, again, at how easily excitable Xiao Xingchen was. It didn’t seem to matter how many times he explained that his decision to kill Jin Guangyao and Jin Guangshan had been motivated by his own motives, not by Xue Yang’s latest atrocity – he hadn’t even heard about Xue Yang’s attack on Song Lan’s temple, slaughtering most of the inhabitants and blinding Song Lan himself, when he’d gone to Jinlin Tower with murder on his mind, and yet Xiao Xingchen seemed to view him as some sort of benefactor, seeking revenge for the injustice done to him.

Maybe that was why he, along with Nie Huaisang, was so insistent on finding a way to prevent Nie Mingjue from paying with his life for what he’d done.

Apparently Xiao Xingchen had been in the middle of a potentially friendship-ending fight with Song Lan when the news had come to them that Jin Guangshan, who’d protected Xue Yang from all consequence, was dead at Nie Mingjue’s hands, making them both rush over as soon as they could…Song Lan was now recuperating in the Nie sect, safe and sound, and the doctors were optimistic about restoring his vision eventually. The natural way, not by transplanting someone else’s eyes into him the way Xiao Xingchen had apparently intended, self-sacrificing overly loyal idiot that he was.

Nie Mingjue could relate – or at least, he’d thought once he could.

He wasn’t so sure anymore.

“Xingchen…” he started to say.

“No, I really do,” Xiao Xingchen insisted, earnest and wide-eyed as ever. “I really, truly do this time! You don’t need to commit suicide, and you don’t need to be put on trial – it wasn’t your fault.”

Nie Mingjue stared. “I knowingly left the Unclean Realm, flew to Jinlin Tower, paid off the door guards, and murdered my own sworn brother and his father by literally beating them to death with my fists, not even with a saber,” he said. “I would have done the same to Xue Yang, if he hadn’t escaped at the last moment. Even if I was having a qi deviation, I acted knowingly and with intent; there’s no excuse for unjustly killing people.”

He really should have just killed himself immediately when he realized what he’d done. That would have been the just thing, the right thing, the righteous path – but even as he’d lifted Baxia up he’d thought of Nie Huaisang, who just wasn’t ready to be sect leader, and he’d hesitated. Nie Huaisang had always been his weakness…he was the reason he was still alive now, for that matter. His stubborn little brother who’d never fought for anything was fighting now, for him.

“But you didn’t just have a qi deviation and decide to kill people,” Xiao Xingchen said. “Someone drove you into that qi deviation intentionally – you were being poisoned!”

“I knew it!” Nie Huaisang said triumphantly. “I knew da-ge’s condition was deteriorating too rapidly for it to be just our inheritance, that there was no other reason he was dying faster than our father did after he was murdered. I told you.”

Lan Xichen looked less convinced, as did Jiang Cheng, and in all honesty Nie Mingjue himself was with them.

“Right,” he said skeptically. “Poisoned. And how exactly was I being poisoned?”

“For that I’ll need to bring out my witnesses,” Xiao Xingchen said, having apparently taken Nie Mingjue’s long and earnestly meant lecture about the necessity of reliable evidence to heart. “Lan Wangji, if you could –”

Lan Xichen abruptly went pale, which Nie Mingjue didn’t understand…at least he didn’t understand until Lan Wangji came out of the side room, barely able to stand on his own two feet from the severity of his injuries. Nie Mingjue was instantly concerned, as he hadn’t even heard about Lan Wangji getting hurt, much less hurt to such a shocking degree – there was blood on his neckline, and probably underneath his pristine white robe as well – that it took a while before he even noticed the two people Lan Wangji was leading into the room.

“Wen Qionglin is alive?” he blurted out, even though that wasn’t quite right. Wen Ning had become a fierce corpse long ago, but the Jin had said he was destroyed...but what was even stranger was who was flanking Lan Wangji on his other side, holding his arm in support. “And…Xue Yang?”

Xue Yang made a strange expression, halfway between a smile and a grimace.

“Not…quite,” he said, sounding a little sheepish. “Long story. Let’s focus on explaining what happened first so that Lan Zhan can sit down, okay?”

“I am fine,” Lan Wangji, who was pretty obviously not fine, said. “But let us tell you about what we have discovered regarding the Song of Turmoil…”

#mdzs #nie mingjue #xiao xingchen #nie huaisang #lan wangji #wei wuxian #my fic #my fics #alt headcanons #just one possible way #another is that NMJ just continues on being completely off his rocker #which would also be fun

This song has become very popular in Catalonia. I hadn't translated it before because its lyrics are full of jokes and colloquialisms so it's difficult to translate, but I really wanted to share it.

The Tyets is a Catalan band that makes trap and reggaeton-ish music, but in this song they've incorporated a cobla (traditional ensemble of sardanes, considered the national music/dance of Catalonia) to their urban song. You can hear the characteristic instruments and beat of the sardana in the chorus.

It's quite common among Catalan pop and rock bands to use traditional instruments (mostly the gralla/dolçaina) and some traditional forms of singing (mostly cant valencià d'estil), but sardanes had so far been left out of this because they're often negatively stereotyped as old-fashioned and its popularity among elderly people made it unappealing to the younger generations. However, turns out the familiarity of these sounds still rings close to our hearts, and people (regardless of age) can't help it but to dance when they hear it!

The translation is under the cut.

The lyrics are light-hearted and use a lot of colloquialisms and slang, they joke about gossiping. The title (coti x coti) would be translated to "gossip 4 gossip", but using a slang word for "gossip".

No ho puc evitar, ja no sé com fer-ho

M'ha arribat a les mans, un coti ben salsero

Que ha mogut tot el mercat, no me'l puc treure del cap

Si vols aquest secret, doncs per tres l'has de canviar.

I can't help it, I don't know how to keep it anymore

A very juicy gossip has reached my hands

It has shaken all the market, I can't get it out of my head

If you want this secret, you'll have to exchange it for three others.

Chorus:

No en vull saber res

Intento no creuar-te la mirada

No em crec històries inventades

De tu ja no em puc creure res.

I don't want to know anything about it.

I try not to make eye contact with you

I don't believe made up stories

I can't believe anything you say anymore.

Ahir em vaig trobar l'Aleix i em va dir que tenia cotis

Posseïa info, tenia bones refes

No sabia perquè, però s'ajuntaven les notis

El mercat está palmant i tu estàs holding

Yesterday I ran into Aleix and he told me that he had gossip

That he owned info, he had good references

He didn't know why, but news were stocking up

The market is croaking and you're holding.

Tira la manta, peli de terror

No vulguis correr a la sort del traïdor

I esque et miro davant de la platja i em dius que no, que no

Throw the blanket, horror movie

You better not want to run a traitor's end

And I look at you in front of the beach and you tell me no, no.

Que no ho pots evitar, ja no saps com fer-ho

T'ha arribat a les mans, un coti ben salsero

Que ha mogut tot el mercat, no te'l pots treure del cap

Si vols aquest secret, per tres l'hauràs de canviar

That you can't help it, you don't know how to keep doing it

A very juicy gossip has reached you

Which has shaken all the market, you can't get it out of your head

If you want this secret, you'll have to exchange it for three others.

Repeat chorus.

VISCA!

Hurray! (Note: sardana dances end by all the dancers holding their hands to the middle and shouting "visca!" together)

Kyber Crystals

Ahsoka´s white kybers like nobody but her. Suspicious, abused, broken they lash out at everyone that touches the hilts other than her. They sing a hunting song of the Togruta, high and dangerous, the thrill of the hunt with nothing of the malicious intent they once carried. They sing of death as an option, a hard choice but a choice to be made, of a new beginning from ashes and pain. They sing with her against the wailing sabers of the Inquisitors, against Vader´s screaming blade. They sing with her soul, and death isn´t something they fear.

White means Cin Vhetin, the blank slate, the new beginning. Ahsoka gave it to these crystals.

One of Ahsoka´s blue crystals loves Rex. It´s a tangible thing from the very start, the way the blue shoto thrums with his heartbeat. It feels right to leave the shoto with Rex after the crash of the Tribunal, in hands the kyber likes. When they meet again, Ahsoka´s markings matured and Rex´ eyes hard like beskar, the kyber around his neck thrums the Dha Werda Verda, the beat of a soldier, of acceptance of death waiting for you and the determination to make the best out of the borrowed time.

Blue means reliable, and Rex has always been people´s rock to rely on.

Galaar doesn´t know how the black saber falls into his hands, but it sings in tune with something in him, something that isn´t broken and crippled and hungering for something he can´t explain. The kyber sings with him in a way his guns never did, and even though he never uses the saber, he keeps the kyber around his neck almost all of the time, the pounding of the Vode An reminding him that he is not alone.

Black means justice, and Galaar has always craved justice.

Day 2: Accidental

Chase is playing Beatsaber, when Shawn tries to get his attention. But this simple little poke ends up revealing a ticklish spot not a lot of people know about.

Ugh...Gotta get uploading earlier. XD I keep forgetting. Hope you enjoy!

Chase had been playing Beat Saber on the VR headset, playing different songs on it. He had played Counting Stars by OneRepublic, then moved to Another One Bites The Dust by Queen, before playing We Are The Champions, also by Queen, and even We Will Rock You by Queen. The Queen songs were brand new to the game, having been released in May of 2023. So he wanted to get a chance to try them out. When he was done getting his Queen fix, he switched to My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark (Light ‘em up) by Fall Out Boy.

He was currently getting ready to finish the song, and end it off with a very stylish finish. He hit the blue block, hit the red block, hit the 2nd red block and hit the blue block. He hit the 2 blue blocks, before hitting the red block…

And then ended it off with slashing both red and blue blocks at the same time…before throwing his fists in the air. “YES!”

[85%]

“Hey Chase, have you-”

Chase gasped as he felt a poke on his back. Chase squeaked and arched his back as he flopped to the ground on his back, giggling helplessly.

….Dude.” The person said, before poking the VR headset. “Hello?” They said.

Chase took off his headset and looked at the person. “Oh…Sorry Shawn.” He got up onto his feet. “You scared me!” He admitted.

Shawn raised an eyebrow. “I touched you. That’s all I did.” Shawn told him. “I know…” Chase admitted. “But why my back?” Chase asked.

“Because where else was I gonna tap you?! Your side? That would tickle you. Your shoulder? That might scare you too much. The back seemed like the most viable option.” Shawn explained. “Though clearly, it doesn’t seem to make much of a difference.” Shawn added.

“Well-” Chase chuckled awkwardly and scratched the back of his head. “Ihi can’t help it!” Chase tried to tell him. “Can’t help what? Can’t help that you’re dramatic?” Shawn asked, slightly annoyed.

“Well that…but…” Chase bit his lip and looked down, unsure how to explain the feeling without creating curiosity or suspicion. Shawn raised an eyebrow. “But…what?” He asked.

Chase sighed and looked down. “B-Because…” Chase sighed, deciding to tell the truth. “My back is a little…sensitive too.” Chase finally admitted.

Shawn slowly blinked with a dumbfounded, surprised look on his face. “...You mean ticklish?” Shawn clarified.

Chase bit his lip. “Uhhh…Yeeeeaaah…” Chase mumbled awkwardly.

Shawn rolled his eyes and chuckled a bit. “God dammit.” He mumbled with a laugh. “So let me get this straight:” He walked closer. “You’re telling me that a simple poke right here-” Shawn poked Chase’s upper back, specifically between the shoulder blades like he did earlier. “eEEHEEK!” Chase screeched almost feminine-like, unintentionally interrupting Shawn’s words. He speed-walked a few steps forward and scratched his upper back to get the feeling to go away, all the while giggling with embarrassment. Stupid ticklish shoulder blades-

Shawn stared at him with even more shock. He-...He wasn’t lying! This was real! He is actually really ticklish on his upper back! Well, more between his shoulder blades than anything. But still! That counts! “I…” Shawn grabbed Chase’s right shoulder to hold him steady, and started drawing his finger on the area between his shoulder blades. “Is it really that-”

Chase threw his head back with a bright smile. “eeEEheeeheeheee! Duhude! Hehehe- YES! Ihit is!” Chase replied.

Shawn quickly widened his smile as he adjusted himself to look at Chase from the right side. By standing at this specific angle, Shawn was able to look at where he was placing his fingers, AND get a good look at Chase’s funny reaction at the same time. “Oh my god…” Was all he muttered as he started dancing 4 of his fingers up and down the spine between the shoulder blades. “What a strange area to be ticklish...” Shawn reacted with slight excitement mixed into the calmness.

“Ihiheeehehee- Ahahare you dohone yet?” Chase asked him.

Shawn clicked his tongue. “Well you see…I technically am done because I got the confirmation I was looking for.” Shawn admitted.

“Thehehen-” Chase yelped and visibly jumped, before freezing with his eyes wide in horror. Shawn quickly noticed this change. “...So I probably should stop tickling you. But…” He quickly decided to keep his fingers inches from the spot he was just on. “I think I found a brand new tickle spot to test on you.” Shawn reacted. “And now I’m curious.”

“Shawn, Shawn please-” Chase gasped and leaned his head back with a squeak.

Shawn had placed one finger on either side of Chase’s spine. “Oho, this is gonna be fun.” Shawn said eagerly as his last warning before skittering all 5 of his fingers like a spider all over the middle spot on his back.

“NahahahAHAHAHA!” Chase closed his eyes and shook his head. “GAHAHA- SHAAAAHAWN!” Chase attempted to push against Shawn with his hands before trying to cover up his back with his hands. But when that didn’t work, Chase would go back to pushing Shawn away. Though this would prove to be difficult, considering how weak he was at the moment.

Shawn started making rapid ‘ticky-ticky-ticky’ sounds with his teeth in an attempt to further tease his friend…all the while scratching on his poor friend’s back. “What’s wrong, Chase? Don’t like spiders tickling your back?” Shawn teased, switching to scritching 2 fingers in the middle of his back right as he said the word ‘tickling’ in his evil sentence. “NOHOHOHOHO! FUCK YOHOHOHOU!” Chase shot back.

Shawn raised his eyebrows in shock. “Damn…Someone’s in a mood.” He reacted. “All I wanted to do was tickle my best friend! And you just start spitting curses at me!” Shawn reacted. “What did I do to deserve this?!” He asked.

“YOHOHOHOU’RE BEHEHEING RUHUHUHUDE!” Chase argued.

“Is that so?” Shawn asked with a smirk. “It’s only been a few minutes, Chase. You really can’t handle a few minutes of tickles?” Shawn teased.

“IHIT’S BEEN LONGER THAHAN A FEHEHEW MIHINUTES!” Chase yelled back at him. “TEHEHEN MIHINUTES AHAHAT MOHOHOHOST!” Chase argued. “Has it really?” Shawn asked before stopping and checking his watch. Sure enough, he was right. “Huh…I guess it has.” Shawn reacted. But Shawn shrugged his shoulders as he lowered his wrist down. “Alright, fine.” Shawn replied, letting Chase go. “You win.”

Chase sped away from Shawn the moment he was let go, and placed his back against the wall. He was nervous of what other spots Shawn was capable of finding if he even gave him the smallest of chances.

“So…” Shawn pointed to him. “Telling by your reaction, I’m guessing other people have found that spot before?” Shawn asked.

Chase looked down with a little bit of embarrassment. “Y-Yeah…” He admitted. “I used to get massages to help my shoulders, and I had to stop paying for them because even stronger pushes would tickle too much.” Chase admitted.

“That’s a shame. Massages can be very helpful.” Shawn replied. “But that just means more chances to tickle your back~!” Shawn teased as he walked up and turned Chase over, spidering up and down his back again.

Chase arched his back and giggled all over the place as he tried to inch himself away. “SHAHAHAWN NOHOHOHOHOHO!” He reacted. But doing so only made Shawn’s fingers tickle near the lower back ribs! And when his fingers even touched the back of his ribcage…Chase squealed and fell backwards into Shawn’s arms! “NAHAHAHOHOHOHO!” Chase cackled, losing his balance.

“Ooooh!” Shawn caught Chase and brought the man to the floor before flipping him onto his side. “I think I found another ticklish spot~!” Shawn started off by spidering up and down the right side of his back rib cage.

Chase kicked his feet like a little desperate swimmer as he laughed heartily in his arms. “NOHOHO FAHAHAHAIR!” Chase argued.

Shawn chuckled at his reaction. “Small question: Were you really this ticklish this whole time?” Shawn asked. “Or do you just suck at hiding tickle spots from me?” Shawn asked next, half-joking and half-serious.

“IHIF YOU STOHOPPED EARLIER, YOU WOHOHOULDN’T HAHAHAVE FOHOHOUND THEHEM!” Chase argued.

“True…” Shawn admitted. But he turned Chase around so he could look at him face-to-face. “But what fun would it be if I stopped tickling you?!” Shawn asked next, dancing his fingers on his friends’ sides.

“Ohokahahayokahay!” Chase attempted to remove Shawn’s hands from his sides. “Whahat dihihid yohohohou wahahahant?” Chase asked him. “What do you mean?” Shawn asked back, pausing his hands for a moment.

Chase held his wrists away from his sides so Shawn couldn’t tickle anymore. Though this didn’t change the giggles that left his mouth as he talked. “Yohohou pohoked me to ahahask mehe sohohomething ehehearlier.” Chase explained. “Whahahat wahahas ihit yohou wantehed?” Chase asked.

“Oh that!” Shawn shrugged his shoulders. “Right.” Shawn thought for a moment and widened his eyes when he realized his mind was coming up blank. “Uhhhh…” He mumbled, hoping a mumble would be enough to help him remember. But…it wasn’t. So…He told the truth. “I don’t know, actually. I barely remember now.” Shawn admitted. “I was honestly too busy questioning why you fell to the ground after a simple poke to the back.” Shawn admitted.

“Soho…” Chase let go of Shawn’s hands and looked up at him. “You seriously don’t remember what you were gonna ask me?” Chase asked.

“Nope.” Shawn replied awkwardly.

Chase rolled his eyes and got up. “Alright. Then I’m going back to Beatsaber.” he said as he put the headset back on and picked up his controllers.

“Fine. If I remember, then I’ll bug you again.” Shawn decided.

“Okay. Just NO back pokes this time.” Chase added. “Poke my shoulder if you want to get my attention.” Chase instructed.

Shawn saluted him and walked away. “Okay.” He replied.

Chase went back to the song list, and started to look at the different song options again. What’s a song that he hasn’t played in ages? It didn’t take long for Chase’s controller to hover over a specific song.

Huh…This is a good one.

He hovered the controller over the play button and clicked it.

I wanna show everyone the definition, the CROWN JEWEL DEFINITION of CORPORATE LAZINESS.

See this right here? This is a preview of the Expert difficulty (mind you, "Expert+" is above that) of the Technologic song from the new Daft Punk music pack.

Perfectly fine video. Reasonable, shows off the track, etc.

They've been doing ads like this since the game came out, little snippets of new tracks.

But this came out 9 days ago.

Let's look at the video they just uploaded today.

Now the title of THIS video is "The Technologic Expert+ level from the Daft Punk Music Pack has 325 chains"

See, that's a fine title, except

The footage is LITERALLY THE SAME FOOTAGE AS THE PREVIOUS VIDEO FROM 9 DAYS AGO

WHICH IS EXPERT DIFFICULTY, NOT EXPERT+

AND THERE'S NOT ONE

NOT TWO

NOT THREE HUNDRED TWENTY FIVE

BUT A WHOPPING

ZERO CHAINS

SHOWN IN THE VIDEO

#Beat Saber #Corporate Laziness #Youtube

Ok here is an official Ice Age ranking

Rankings + Explanations under the cut, starting from best going to worst. As always, this is all my own opinion, and you are free to disagree.

1. Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs

This is heavily biased but also I think Ice Age 3 has the perfect balance between completely wacky and actual heartfelt moments in an Ice Age movie. It didn't go totally overboard, and Buck is a wonderful addition to the series. Who can forget the story about how he lost his eye? Simon Pegg absolutely chewed this role up, and he really makes the movie what it is.

Ellie isn't sidelined because she's pregnant, she's allowed to be badass, and Manny learns some important lessons about not always being the protector. One thing that sticks with me is that Manny misses the moment Peaches is born (only Diego is there). I know that can be, like, a huge thing for some people, but even so, he sees his kid and feels nothing but love and relief. He doesn't feel emasculated by having his best friend there instead of him or resentment for missing that moment or some other petty bullshit. It didn't matter to him, what mattered was that his family was safe. That fucking gets me, y'know? I think that's the perfect encapsulation of what he had to learn - like I said, that he can't always be the protector, but also that he can rely on others when the going gets tough and he can't be there or can't do anything. It's important to show that, I think. D'you get me? You get me.

As much as Scratte's existence is, like, a meme, her and Scrat's sideplot was great, too. The tango? The fucking tango? Hello? I love the tango. The tango is great. And so is the "Alone Again" sequence, it leaves me in stitches. Having the acorn be like an actual character was a great choice in this case.

Finally, it's very visually distinct to the other movies thanks to its new setting, and it actually goes out of its way to give us really cool shots sometimes (see Buck's story). It really sets itself apart from the other movies. Also, how can you beat fucking dinosaurs!? Living under the ice!? Still the coolest shit. AND, the cover of Walk the Dinosaur is STILL the best credits song in the series.

2. Ice Age 2: The Meltdown

This one is simply a treat. It's an amazing follow-up to the first movie - it's got higher stakes, more energy, and more funny moments, and rounds out the herd with Ellie and the possums. Queen Latifah does her job voicing Ellie perfectly, and she's a GREAT character. Beyond that, it absolutely nails the emotional moments, too. Goodnight Sweet Possums is just... it's such a great scene, scored wonderfully. Hell, this is probably the most iconic Ice Age movie. Food Glorious Food? Sid's Sing-A-Long? Hell yeah. And... God, that scene at the end, with all the mammoths? Chills. Chills every time. Even so, I feel like it doesn't quite hit that line of greatness 3 did. I'm blaming Crash and Eddie. I don't really like Crash and Eddie. Also, this a total aside, but the ending sequence with Scrat in heaven haunts me to this day. It's the worst I feel for him. Anyway.

3. Ice Age

I could never hate this movie. It's unique in the series for being the most serious of them all. And, it gave Blue Sky its big break (RIP, hope Disney dies now and forever). Really, its biggest crime is that it's just boring in comparison to the sequels. There are gags and hijinks and the whole dodo sequence, but everyone is way more serious. The plot is way more serious. I mean, the saber-tooth tigers wanted to kill the baby! That's fucked up! And it's different to the monsters in 2 and the dinos in 3 because they were thinking, plotting, all of that jazz. Also, it gives very solid foundations for all of the characters, which I think helps make the next couple of sequels so strong. Overall, not that much to say! It's Ice Age 1. The opening travel music is a total bop, and, of course, everyone knows Send Me On My Way. It's just a solid movie.

4. Ice Age 5: Collision Course

I went into this one expecting it to be absolute dogshit, given it's the last numbered sequel in the series. But it's... actually pretty good? My biggest gripe is that the feathered dinosaur side plot didn't really add anything substantial and could've been done away with. Like 3, it really embraced how ridiculous the plot was and did it pretty well, imo. Buck is back! Peaches' fiancée is GREAT, and bringing back everything to focus heavily on the actual herd and its dynamics was a very smart move. The pop culture references date the movie, though. Also there is a Jessie J sloth. Who is also a GILF. Scrat's plot turns into straight up hody horror at some moments. The song at the end of the movie is pretty good, though. Anyway, sure, it's obviously not the best movie ever, and it's totally ridiculous, but I'm glad I gave it shot.

5. Ice Age 4: Continental Drift

I just... ugh. I'm gonna be honest, when I was younger I watched this one over and over, and I don't know if I made myself sick of it, or if I wisened up when I got older, but this just... sucks. Separating the herd was a horrible choice. The plot on the mainland with Ellie and Peaches is TERRIBLE, which sucks because you go in excited to meet Peaches properly. Sidelining Ellie to begin with was a horrible idea, since we KNOW she's a badass, and having her in on the pirate plot could've ruled. Also, jumping from baby Peaches in 3 to teenage Peaches in 4 was a bad move. I think an adventure with a younger Peaches could've worked better. Generally, separating the mammoth family was really not a good idea.

Well, I can give this movie one thing. It gave us Diego and Sid kissing. And they LIKED IT.

Speaking of mammoths! Every single mammoth celebrity voice actor seemed to be chosen exclusively for the song at the end of the movie. Which would've been fine if the song didn't suck with all of them included, it's like a cacophany of chaos. The version with just Keke Palmer is so much better. That's just me though. Also Josh Gad was a fucking rat and I hated his incel ass, so glad he wasn't in 5. AND, the plotline involving the other mammoths sucked sucked sucked sucked SUUUUCKED. I don't know how exactly we'd do a plotline about Peaches wanting to fit in (then realising she and her wacky family is fine just the way it is), but this was NOT it. This would have been a better story to do after a movie has been made with a younger Peaches, after we become very familiar with her dynamic with everyone in the herd, especially Manny and Ellie. Generally having a movie like that between 3 and 4 would have prevented a lot of the issues - such as separating the mammoth family.

Overall, the pirate plotline should have been the main focus, especially because that way we could have gotten more Peter Dinklage. The pirates were sorely underutilised, which is such a shame, because they were a very interesting addition to the story.

If you'e gotten this far, thanks for reading my ramblings on this series!

Smile

Summary: A smile that meant the world and so much more to Anakin

Pairings: Anakin Skywalker x reader

Anakin Masterlist

Word count:1,045

A/N: Hello everyone! I took a short break but I am back and with tons more ideas! I also want to say thank you to everyone who suggested songs in my previous post. I ‘ve been listening to them and I loved every suggestion and I hope I can tell the story right.<3. As always I hope you guys enjoy.xx

(Gif by @starwarsblr)

It was the first thing that caught his eye when he returned from his mission, you were a new scientist replacing a past one he’d never even met before.

But now oh how he was interested.

He had to know you.

It wasn't long until he had your friendship and found himself spending every spare minute of his time with you.

Obi-wan began to notice the distractions in Anakin's mind but there was no greater sight to him like seeing his brother smile.

Never actually confronting him he held onto this secret and only hoped you cared for Anakin in the way that Anakin did for you.

And you did, far more than what Obi-wan expected.

You tried to move past it cursed with the knowledge of Jedi being forbidden of attachments.

You did your best to stay friendly, but damn it did he make it hard.

When he came into your lab asking little questions as if he was actually interested in what you were doing.

The way he listened to your rants when one of your tests failed.

The jokes he’d say to get you to laugh never failed to cheer you up.

But nothing made your heart skip a beat like his touch.

The first time, you had been working late on an assignment given to you by Shaak Ti in hopes to figure out certain DNA fragments of the clones.

It wasn't until morning the next day that you’d figured it out and Anakin had just walked in to your cheers of success.

In that moment you didn't think, you just did.

And so you jumped into his arms, a bit taken back but happy to hold you he held you tightly and picked you off the ground.

You fit him perfectly.

Your hands wrapped around his neck, you realized how soft his hair was, his musky scent that smelled amazing and the warmth of his touch.

Blushing you pulled away and he put you down with a small smile on his face.

“What was that for?” he said.

Trying to hide your blushed cheeks from him you turned to the screen and showed him.

“ I finally figured out the DNA structure we needed.” you said quietly.

Coming up behind you he smiled and hugged you from behind, “Sounds like celebratory ice cream will be needed.” he said as he spun you around and walked you out.

And that was the first of many ice cream dates, eventually ice cream became dinner and dinner became picnics on other planets.

Eventually, you went too far and there was no turning back.

You were in love with Anakin Skywalker, and he was in love with you.

You’d try to stop it, for his sake.

An attachment like this could get him kicked out of the order and ruin all he’s worked to build.

Anakin didn't care, all he cared about was coming home to you and seeing that beautiful smile on your face everytime he walked through the door.

He couldn't have been happier.

Anakin only feared one thing in life after that, losing you.

He’d become so consumed by these terrible thoughts that he began to neglect you looking for a solution to a problem that didn't yet exist.

‘Yet.’

It was yet another sleepless night waiting for him to come home when you heard a loud crash come from downstairs.

Figuring it was him you quickly went down stairs to help him.

“Ani?” you asked, looking around.

“Ani? How cute.” you heard a voice say.

Quickly turning towards it you gasped when a red saber went through your chest.

Falling to the floor you struggled to keep your breathing steady.

“It is done my lord, he will be at your mercy.” the voice said before walking away.

Anakin had already been on his way back when he felt a sudden pang in his chest.

“No, no, no ,no” he said as he sped up hoping the force was wrong about this.

He’d seeked guidance from Yoda on how to protect his team better.

He’d suggested meditational healing, but there had only been very few to succeed in the practice.

Anakin being the chosen one, he had the potential to succeed.

Racing into your home he searched for you in the dark prepared for a fight should he find someone else.

“My love. I‘m here.” he said loudly hoping you’d respond.

Building up all the strength you possibly could you said, “Ani.” barely above a whisper.

It was enough for him.

Running to you he found you on the ground practically lifeless.

Kneeling he took you in his arms and analyzed the wound.

A lightsaber.

“It's okay baby, I can fix this just hold on.” he said panicked, tears beginning to brim his eyes.

He needed to focus, but no matter how hard he tried his fear just grew stronger and stronger.

“It's okay, it-its-” you tried to ease him. You knew this was it for you and you could have hoped for a better place than his arms.

“No, I should have been here, I should have-” he said sobbing.

“Ani don't hate yoursel-f, d-ont, don't let it destroy you.” you whispered as tears began to fall from yours.

Kissing your forehead he began to whisper apologies and I love you’s as he still tried to focus once more.

Pulling the last of your strength you smiled and held onto his arm as you began to see black spots.

“Love you Ani, A-lwa-ways.” you whispered as you took your last breath, a single tear falling from your eyes.

Holding onto you even stronger Anakin cried harder choking in his sobs as your hand fell from his arm.

Suddenly his screams began sounding further and further away.

And just like that, he jumped out of his dream and sat up looking around wiping the sweat from his forehead.

Seeing the sun begin to rise he decided it was time for him to get out of bed and begin his meditation.

Once again he’d dreamt of his mystery girl and once again, it all ended the same.

He’d find you one day.

And when he did he vowed to change the ending no matter the cost, that smile would be his forever.
