#I'm obviously still mad about it

[uhbasicallyjustmilex]

yeah still thinking about this actually

[silverwhittlingknife]

can we have a hint about what the spring break tim patrol chapter of red letter day contains? (you kept having dick say "if the joker shows up" and tim's "he won't." for me to be convinced that goes off without any trouble)

i'm sure it'll be fine. :D

i am delighted you're enjoying the story <333 i haven't updated it in soooo long but i got some very sweet comments lately so i have been looking at my scribbles again <3

i think the most annoying part about riftan is how people in the fandom treat him 😭 like, most of the fandom seems to either hate his guts or wants him to be in their guts. i just don't get it

there used to be a fairly popular ot3 trope in the s2 hiatus (I think, or maybe it was literally just one fic I really liked so I'm misremembering, lol) where Jamie would get sick/injured and end up in hospital but he still had Keeley down as her emergency contact, so her (with an angry Roy in tow) would show up at the hospital and become his (on Roy's part, reluctant) caregivers until they all fell in love. I think the idea sort of went by the wayside because it relied on roy/keeley already being together and Jamie eventually joining their relationship, which is no longer the standard route to ot3. But! I think we should consider bringing it back.

I know we're all reeling from the chapter 260 leaks but it's boring to me to attribute all of kaiser's behavior to trauma. like can't a guy just be fucked up all on his own? show a little respect

[symmetrycrypt]

thinking about how much i fucking hate totk again, like sorry, it really tainted my entire love for the series that was literally my special interest for so long growing up

[dennisboobs]

plain and simple i am not going to be able to remain in this fandom long-term if i have to keep putting disclaimers on every single one of my posts that say i don't condone dennis' bad, bad actions and that i am in fact aware he's got a history of sexual assault and dubious/nonconsent. the entire gang has done heinous shit. why is dennis the only one who needs to be treated like this? if some rando wants to post about how dennis is pookie pie that doesn't automatically mean they're blind to his crimes. every single member of the gang is a piece of shit. that's kind of the point.

draw dennis with cat ears who give a shit

[moonscape]

i don't really like confessions blogs because i feel like they just fuel the fire for fandom discourse but ngl i agree with pretty much everything that's been posted on the is*t one so far so i'm okay with it for now lol 👍

[icewindandboringhorror]

finally finished all of one character's entire quests/optional dialogue/questions/etc.... 100,000 words... .... aughhh

[babygirltangerine]

ah. so aaron deactivated his instagram. and the people that harass him in his comments section and laugh about his abuse to his face are going to act like they're not part of the problem. haha just grandma being evil again, right? because being absolutely horrendous about his life in his comments won't cause him to rely on her further? because we are all so caught up in the joy of having a laugh at his wife that we will do it without thought of the consequences they will have for him personally? because we care more about him as an entertainer than we do about the fact that he's a person? and a victim? right? haha? we're not part of the problem no of course not, it's all because his mean old ugly wife is old and ugly and that's sooo bizarre and we all deserve to fuck him more than her so we can say whatever we want and hurt him when he's vulnerable. can you people be smart about this for two fucking seconds haha fucking PLEASE??? i'm so tired.

the fact that he was even on social media in the first place was a blessing. he's been run off before and of course it happened again. he's talked about how it hurts, he sees that shit guys, and making mean-spirited jokes about his life is not the intervention you think it is. it hurts more than helps. but i'm glad you had fun i guess.

Shadowheart. GIRL. He's biting me every night. You sleep right next to us. I'm bending my goody-two-shoes paladin ass over backwards to get him to like me. Do you not have eyes? You tought I'd sell him out to a monster hunter??? Girl. Girl, I figured out what your hand wound does. It's selective blindness. Shar, goddess of darkness, makes perfect sense, girl, Shadowheart, listen-

What is with those random accounts like [insert a few random words here]-blog just popping up flooded with machine fabricated images. Are they the new spam bots, because if so they've finally found a spam bot more annoying than the p[]rn ones: silicon valley type machine learning bros...

[bereft-of-frogs]

so the 'Qimir/the Stranger is actually [ insert high republic character here ]' theories have started to escalate, Imri was one thing, today I saw someone suggest the Stranger is Cohmac and I laughed out loud.

But also sure. The Stranger is Cohmac. XD Why tf not. Except for all the, you know, 'humans don't live that long' and 'their descriptions and official character art do not match Manny Jacinto at all' 'it doesn't actually make sense' but people keep countering that with 'energy transfer' so I guess Qimir really could be anybody.

Wouldn't it be fucking hilarious if it was Azlin Rell. Fucking Azlin. That would be SO funny if he energy-transferred himself into Qimir to live another hundred extra years, to continue being the worst. It would be so funny. Absolutely no one else would find it funny but I would personally find it absolutely hilarious if 'scenic route guy' is Qimir

@naffeclipse I finished my reread today and then skimmed it all again for lines and also your entire cryptid sightings tag. If anyone asks I'm in my conspiracy chamber working on my board, it's coming along so nicely <3

You mentioning timeloops got me thinking of the idea some people have had about the mc looping back whenever they die in a noble fight, but expanding it to be: everytime the mc dies, they loop back, but so does the other time traveler, Ingo. Who has no idea what's happening or why. Just think about all the times a person can die in their first run of the game! It'd be disorienting to be involved in any kind of time travel shenanigans, but to be along for someone else's ride, without there seeming to be any rhyme or reason to why you're skipping back would be so scary. Especially if no one else seemed to notice the changes and you already had an untrustworthy memory.

Or alternate idea: everytime Ingo dies he loops back to the start of the day, but whenever he does Emmet does too. Pretty sure Emmet could figure out it has something to do with Ingo, but it'd be a scary mystery as to why. He was already worried about Ingo the entire time he was missing, but when he started periodically looping back it got even worse. Could also be combined with some sort of wound or phantom pain transfer; whatever happens to Ingo happens to Emmet. In one way, great, because at least he knows his brother is alive! In many ways, not great, because what the fuuuck

this absolute CALLED SHOT of a plot point in the timeloop fic i can't finish writing whkjwhwjkwh. ok well in that one it's not just "loop back to start of day on death," it's that hisui's trapped in a permanent loop of mmm a little over a week before the world ends, and ingo's the only person conscious of the resetting. it's all very majora's mask. and then over on the other side of the rift, emmet is, yes, ALSO trapped in the loop, and while ingo gets the visual cue of "oops, planet rolled over and died again," emmet has literally. no. fucking. idea. why this is happening, other than that it MUST have something to do with the thing that stole his brother, since that appears to him to be point where it resets to.

imagine how painful it would be to be constantly resetting to the moment just after losing him. trying over and over and over but you're always just a little bit too late. and then on the other side, since the loop starts when ingo arrives, imagine having your entire living memory be a transient and ephemeral thing. the inevitability that every single memory you form will eventually be erased from reality, and you're the only one still carrying it. after the fact of having your entire life stolen once already.

uhhh i got a little distracted oops what were we talking about. OH THAT FIRST IDEA IS ALSO REALLY GOOD. you're right the idea of just being dragged along on someone else's timeloop ride is fuuun. getting to be the passenger, remembering previous iterations but having absolutely no control over it. and especially if this is on top of oop-ingo's dissociative episodes. sometimes he skips a day, and then some other times he makes up for it by doing a day twice. or more than twice sometimes, if the protag's really stuck on a thing. that is actually so fucked up. just no correlation between your personal awareness of time and the actual apparent reality whatsoever.

oouohg and then. fuck now you've got me going. but. i feel like a hallmark of timeloop fics is the target becoming sort of blasé about their mortality or like, the experience of pain. because on the one hand, they have infinite retries so it's nbd. on the other hand, because it's so "simple" to try again, they feel like they have a moral obligation to get it right. do it better. good enough is never good enough when you can try again and again and again for perfect. all it costs is a few moments of pain and then you can save that person, shortcut those hours, be faster be smarter know better– so that's the protag's angle. that's what they're living through, being the center of it.

okok now. now imagine they make it to the highlands, or wherever, having had three regions and three nobles to get comfy with this perfectionist ruleset. except, now they're being shepherded around by ingo. and ingo remembers. and crucially they do not yet know that ingo remembers.

i think i'm imagining they ignore ingo's warning about the alpha crobat, bc, look this is the fast way, charge ahead and get killed. and before ingo can even begin to process any of that, like oh fuck or why did you just run in there or oh fuck, did that kid just die—blink. day resets. and obviously, he can't be sure, but he has to think about that connection, like. it was almost the exact same instant, those two things happened. so he's thinking, while they run the day through again. and then this time he's fast enough to snag them before they can run towards the death monster, like ABSOLUTELY NOT, and when he does they go "huh. that's new."

and he's like FUCK DO YOU MEAN, THAT'S NEW???

and then oops! cat's out of the bag! no takesies backsies protag i don't think you're getting out of this one clean. and then ingo has to deal with the sudden information that the source of his torture for the past few months or however long it's been if you're counting undone days or not, is a teenager dying over and over bc god told them to. what's he even supposed to do with that.
