Decided to try and make this next year's teaser more dramatic as it's the last one! Swifthawk's Chance and my time as a Warriors artist will likely wrap up around March.

find us alive: in a horror setting, has horror elements and some parts that skew heavily towards it, but those elements are moreso to express the results of things like isolation, neglect, abuse, etc: the anomalous, and all the horrors of the foundation, are horrific because they are equivalent to animals being locked up and starved, and it's no wonder the -2s or the d-class act as 'scary' as they do given their living conditions. the real horror is tragedy, both predictable and unpredictable, and the capacity humans hold to neglect and hurt one another hymns for the road: flesh billboard flesh billboard FLESH BILLBOARD FLESH BILLBOARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[triglycercule]

it must get boring as hell doing continuous repetitive genos like dust does. he probably constantly questions how his human can keep on going and like not get bored (me too tho ngl because what type of person is out there that's trying to minmax every single undertale geno route interaction???) so i say he changes things up during his own process for a variety of reasons

sometimes when he's feeling REALLY apathetic he might just view everyone as stats and precoded scripts and lines and he just goes about the geno as if he was a player playing a video game (this is incredibly hypocritical because he's acting like the player but also this is dust sans we're talking about. pinnacle of hypocrisy. he'd deny any sort of human like actions because he's not the human and what he's doing is for the greater good). also its kinda fucked because it just means that there's been so many resets that he doesn't view his friends and family as simply people that he's taking the lives of but more as just npcs and numbers. but yk of course he moves on from that episode (and refuses to acknowledge the fact that he was acting very much so like the human. nope nope nope)

or maybe whenever he feels really really really shitty about himself he just lets the human kill him sometimes. he purposely interacts with other monsters before he kills them so he has to hear them beg for mercy. he just lets himself wallow in as much guilt and pain and misery as possible because its really really addicting to be sad and upset and feel bad. and dust is never like "hey i should stop doing this because its getting in the way of be killing the human" because he knows damn well it ISNT. he's still gonna be on that him vs. human grind no matter what even if he spends a few resets fucking around and being miserable and the humans always gonna reset anyways. ALWAYS

even if he's not at lvl 20 or something but still above the human in lv then maybe he'd kill them. but then that also means that there'd still be some monsters left because he nor the human maxed out their stats. so then that's just more suffering for dust (because i really think he'd like to make himself suffer because he feels so much guilt for what he did. his suffering is self inflicted and he knows that and still does it. good for him) because he has to walk around the underground knowing that there are some people hiding in corner or something watching him and scared that he's gonna kill them because thats what he did to everyone else. some nicer monsters might go up to him and try to talk to him but dust doesn't have the chill welcoming friendly vibe sans does anymore so it's just creepy and awkward. angrier monsters might try and yell or fight him and dust just sits there and takes it because theyr totally right. to them it might just look like he killed monsters just for shits and giggles one day and theres no way for him to explain the resets without people just forgetting it in the first place so theres not much he can do except accept the suffering. what in the mental masochism

Returning this time is also for the sake of the world.

Story of Kunning Palace (2023) 1.37

Hi I'm thinking about writing a h2g2 and gravity falls crossover fic. I saw your post awhile ago and I was wondering if you had any idea on how the two fords would interact.

Oooh this is a really good idea!

Hm, I haven't properly watched Gravity Falls in a while (I KNOW IM SORRY), but comparing their personalities from what i know they have a couple similarities and differences.

For first interactions I'm not entirely sure how or where, neither of them are naturally social but if someone were to start a conversation it would be Prefect, and once they realize they're both named Ford P. they'd hit off perfectly.

I think they'd love to go out for a small drink and talk about their outlooks on life, about space, their own traumas and relationships, about their research and studies with their respective books (Pines to the Journals, and Prefect to the Guide), and about their plans for future. This interaction could also be a lot funnier depending on the tone you wanted to take.

Ooooh they could also rant about their annoying family members (Zaphod and Stan)

They would also engage in an epic game of Dungeons & More Dungeons no doubt

me and a beloved mewtual going LITERALLY and EXACTLYY to each other as we reaffirm a core part of the story being wwx's overall journey in his social dynamics to stability and security as he goes, not without tragedy and loss, but from a contentious and unsupportive main relationship in a hostile social setting that degenerates quickly into dysfunction and instability and violence to end up with a supportive and healthy and happy life partnership with someone whose main life goals involve taking care of him

[pickled-flowers]

Rereading the Mysqueery Gang and like. Who let me post this. Worst writing I've ever done like heck I'm so sorry to all my readers i should have been better 😭 these kids deserve a better story

[its-no-biggie]

i need to catch up on the orv webtoon so bad i keep forgetting we're at the fucking PROPHECY

[supersecretnerd]

Ok so these designs are cute as hell, the Internet is just mean

I have too many thoughts about a game I still need to watch

[itstimeforstarwars]

After writing the first scene in the next chapter, I wrote down three things that I needed to put in the scene. I now have four more pages of this scene but none of the three things have made it in.

[brokenhardies]

okay fine its 3:30 ive woken up and decided to make it everyones problem - siobhan's cr discourse 'hot takes'

matt mercer didn't decide to 'ruin' the fearne episode by adding essek. essek was probably included ahead of time due to aeor being a specific plot thread both bell's hells and the cast wanted to explore - it just happened to occur during an episode including a major look at fearne's relationship w her dad

yes it was quite clear that the exu part of c3 was railroaded in order to have an excuse for dorian to rejoin bell's hells and you're allowed to be pissed about that but the fact that people turned around and started calling aabria a 'bully' and a 'narcissist' and 'aggressive' immediately skeeved me out

i dont get why people are saying the cast is/appears bored - you're not in their heads and it feels like projecting. saying that sam purposefully killed off his character with a beautiful, amazing speech (imho) because 'he was bored with the way the campaign was going' is frankly, the dumbest fucking thing ive ever heard

followed closely by the 'cr is secretly scripted' comments. wow, i wonder if i should tell them about pro wrestling!(/j)

It’s been too normal in the ace combat tags lately. Have some drawings of my HC Gryphus 1 and Crux / Eugene from last year that I’ve cleaned up. Ace Combat X is definitely near the top of the list

[cherrirui-official]

Making a post abt this so I don't forget later on when I wake up in the morning but, for the Beach Bros AU, I can totally see Bruce going to bed after reading a bedtime story to all 13 of his children and just as he's about to drift off John Dory appears at his bedroom door and says "hey, what about me??? :[" Like the pathetic manchild he is.
