☆ My Top 10 Game Scenes: Honorable Mentions ☆

A little bonus round so I can finish the list tonight!

Navigation: ☆ Intro ☆ 10 ☆ 9 ☆ 8 ☆ 7 ☆ 6 ☆ 5 ☆ 4 ☆ 3 ☆ 2 ☆ HMs ☆ 1 Spoilers For: Please Be Happy, The World Ends With You, Final Fantasy 7, Final Fantasy 7 Remake (Part 1), In Stars and Time Content Warnings: Death and mortality

Honorable Mentions

I have a few different items that didn't make the list that I still felt like including here! These aren't in any particular order aside from matching the order in the collage above.

Juliet at Cosette's Grave (Please Be Happy): A very raw emotional scene that stands out in an otherwise pretty cozy game. I've seen lots of immortal angst, but personally have yet to see it through the lens of a parent watching their child grow old. While mainly here just because the scene is a very good cry, it does also do an excellent job of explaining a lot of the issues Juliet has when you explore them later in her route.

Joshua's Composer Reveal (TWEWY): I like the final showdown between Neku and Joshua in general, but specifically the reveal of Joshua as composer always stands out to me as one of the only plot twists in media that really really got me, haha. I was so convinced this mfer was the Composer until he "died," so getting narratively juked by this will always stand out in my brain.

Sector 7 Plate Aftermath OR Honeybee Inn (FF7R): I'll be real with you. Honeybee Inn might have made this list if not for the fact I would have felt so guilty putting in that scene when the same game has such an emotional sequence after the plate collapse. I just really like seeing that edgelord humiliated, okay?! Is that so wrong?! I was absolutely hysterical watching it for the first time and laughed so hard when I played it proper I had to reload a save for the sake of my perfect combo in the minigame. Anyways, as for the sector plate fall I love Barret (my favorite when playing the original back in the day, possibly still now) so his reaction searching for Marlene in the remake makes me feel things. He's such a good dad... Generally while I'm not sure about how I feel about the plot changes in the remake it does the emotional scenes and dialogue (funny or serious) quite well.

Suspicious Quest Finale (In Stars and Time): Definitely the closest item to making my list, and the lack of ISAT here is probably a shock to anyone who knows me. That said, I tend to enjoy ISAT more as a whole than finding any particular scene exceptionally better than the rest. The final hug, boss fight, and ending as well as the SAY IT sequence are all quite good contenders but I think if any scene tends to crop up in my brain the most from ISAT it would actually be the ending of the sus quest. For such an emotionally repressed character, it feels like a great reward for a quest that requires a good deal of effort to let him have ONE moment of actual self-reflection as he wonders why they don't want Odile's help. It really says a lot about both Odile and Siffrin's characters and is perhaps one of the most telling moments in the entire game about what Siffrin's thought processes are like and how their repression actually functions; he not only doesn't voice his opinions but also refuses to let them in at all. They truly haven't realized their wish in this scene but still in their gut hate themself for it.

[kk-iki]

it's been a long time coming, but. . .

enough is enough. i think i've moved in relative silence when it comes to some of the more odd things that occur in this fandom, but one instance in particular is giving me pause. this honestly feels like something better suited for a substack essay, but i'll hold off on that since i think everyone in this specific sub - tumblr ( ? ) should hear this first.

i feel like so much of the call of duty fandom is trapped in a constant woman - hating epidemic.

and i don't just mean 'oh, there's barely any female character x reader content, there's nothing for the girls who like girls'. that's an entirely different issue i may or may not bring up later.

i'm talking about how a good majority of the writing i read in this fandom is so geared towards men. and i don't mean that there's a surplus of male reader content, because there really isn't. i mean that there's so many fics i read that are drenched in the light of 'doe - eyed, pouty, submissive woman who is always eager to please her man, and the idea that the man may be eager to please her in return is such an incredibly radical concept'.

i click on any 'x reader' tag in this fandom, and i'm met with a tidal wave of two specific archetypes;

the doe - eyed, pouty, submissive fem reader who is always eager to please her man and gets off on him essentially treating her like property, or. . .

a reader who has no character. no structure. no personality. a reader who is meant to be vague enough to where the actual reader can neatly insert themselves into their shoes, but at the cost of any innate substance or realness. a reader who is essentially just a placeholder in words.

somehow, inexplicably, it's more often than not the first.

write and read for this fandom long enough, and you'll see what i see in droves. the attention that is lavished on writing within this fandom is relegated to the specific archetype of the tradwife who knows nothing but to cook for her husband and be a willing conduit for his post - deployment stress relief.

and what truly infuriates me the most is that it will be these kinds of writers who are so adamantly against the idea of tradwives. yes, you say you're against it, but can your words hold up when your writing is essentially tradwife propaganda in disguise?

and it just irks me so badly when these mentalities infiltrate the characters themselves. today's specific instance of this was when i was scrolling through the könig x reader tag and i came across this one headcanon list that advertised itself as "loser!könig". nothing innately malicious, of course, but then i saw the tags.

'but also, he's a sucker for the wife, which makes him a loser. say it with me now.'

i want to make it known that i mean no ill intent towards the original author of this specific headcanon list. i don't want any vitriol to be directed at them because i'm speaking my mind about this fandom as a whole. it most likely was meant to be an affectionate, "haha, he's such a malewife loser"-esque endearment. but this set of tags just. . .baffled me.

. . .because when did it become loser - like or a loser - adjacent trait to be a sucker for your wife?

this isn't even the first instance of this. i've seen it before, the way this fandom—sometimes subtly, sometimes unintentionally—pushes this narrative that has been setting us back decades. the idea that there is not only a beauty standard that women must live up to in order to be considered desirable by men, but there is also a mentality that a woman must have in addition.

there's another fic that i read, a 141 x reader one if memory serves me correctly. it featured a reader who was insecure about her appearance, which is absolutely nothing to frown upon. what startled me, though, was the fact that the author themselves referred to the reader as 'ugly'.

the reader is a single mother. she is stated in the fic to have love handles, breakouts, and a thick waist. she has messy hair and wears baggy clothes and has dark undereye circles. she required the love and special attention of four conventionally attractive men who moved in next door in order to feel beautiful.

she is said, by the author in the precluding note, to be meant as a way to 'show some love to readers who feel ugly, instead of petite girly readers'.

as if people with these traits should feel ugly. as if people with these traits cannot be girly.

i understand i may be reading too much into this. i may be making a mountain out of a molehill. but i'm angry about this and this is my blog and you've read this far, so clearly you want to see where this goes.

and this is where it's going.

i spoke about this briefly in a server i'm in and am extremely fond of—shoutout to the shitheads.

i said, quote: "are you nothing but a slave to the whims of a patriarchal society’s dictation on how someone must present in order to be considered desirable? or are you willingly feeding into this at the risk of the self image of so many beautiful people who cannot recognize their own enchanting presences because of people like you howling at them in your sweetest voice that they are anything but?"

i also said: "have you considered the reason for that might be because she’s a recluse and doesn’t go outside apart from making sure her child is getting sufficient vitamin d and is thus making assumptions about what people will think of her on the basis of one bad man’s words to her?"

maybe she doesn't feel ugly because you think the traits she has are ugly. maybe she feels ugly because she doesn't socialize. maybe, instead of just leaving that in the subtext, you should have started with that.

the writer, if i recall correctly, was a woman. by the way. which makes this worse.

it is so difficult for me to understand how the women in this fandom can be so cruel to each other, even implicitly. from the way we're written in reader - insert fics to how we react to each others' ocs and creations. . .it's just so disheartening.

more than anything, it makes me wonder how someone like me—a lesbian who exclusively writes women for women and tries to veer away from the reader and the character falling into any one archetype—is going to find any sort of platform in this fandom.

the bottom line is that there is so much casual misogyny in this fandom. frankly, i'm a little sick of it.

one might think i'm making a big deal out of this. i know. i'm being a killjoy, i'm being a hater, i won't let anyone have any fun. but we need to remember a couple of key points here:

art is always political because there is no way to create something without a modicum of bias.

the politics promoted by the art in this fandom—specifically, the writing—are pushing an agenda that has been consistently used to strip women of their rights and needs for decades.

most of these writers are women themselves.

obviously, there's nothing wrong with a submissive woman. obviously, the characters in call of duty that are most featured in reader - insert content are canonically framed in a lens that makes it seem like they would be the kind of men to only enjoy this kind of woman. obviously, not everyone in this fandom indulges this.

but it occurs enough. and it sets us back.

and i'm sick of it.

thank you for reading this far, and for hearing out what i have to say. i promise i don't do this often—but i also promise that i absolutely should. i love you.

these took forever lol

New troll line-up, both canon and humanstuck versions

[andhumanslovedstories]

That's a really good way to put it. When you play a slot machine every day, you're bound to hit more jackpots than someone who does so once a year. In this case, the jackpot is like "nurse who tells you to just stop being depressed." What I find frustrating about the volume of posts that are negative about nurses is that it's sooooooooooooo understandable. Who posts about the neutral experiences? I've never felt the need to run up to my community and go, "once again I have given money to a barista in exchange for coffee, and the event was completely unremarkable." No need to process that. Not a fun anecdote to tell. Even really positive stories are often not that inherently interesting.

(I genuinely think that storytelling aspect is important to this, and anything else people need to vent about. Stories about bad things are interesting! Some stories about healthcare are basically true crime! We remember and spread what's engaging.)

You're so right that there's a catharsis to finally complaining to people who get it. Especially when it's about something as personal and vulnerable as your health. I would never, ever, ever want to take that away from people or discourage doing it. Hell, my two strongest memories of my personal interactions with the healthcare system have both been really bad. I have many unremarkable to positive interactions, but it's the negative that I return to, and it's the negative that I learn from.

The constant thing on nursing as a profession on this website is getting kind of exhausting to me. I am so truly sorry that people have had negative experiences with nurses and they absolutely do not deserve that. But it’s such a massive profession with such a huge diversity of people and practices and people paint it in such broad strokes and it’s starting to kind of hurt my feelings :/ Thoughts? Am I just being a baby/does this ever bother you?

Honestly the constant negativity I saw towards nursing was why I started writing about nursing so much more. It's not that I think that negativity is incorrect--people HAVE had horrible experiences with nursing, some nurses do abuse their power, and that even without abusing power it is easy to hurt a patient. I seek out and appreciate those accounts, people should share those, people have every right to talk about their experiences. But if we're being human about it, yeah, it does bother me to see posts that call me and everyone I work with mean girls. I don't think those posts shouldn't exist, and at the same time, it is frustrating that it seems to be the dominant narrative about nurses in the particular parts of the internet where I spend time.

A big annoyance to me is that SO MANY CRITICISM of nursing is gendered! We're catty, we're bitches, we're mean girls, we're "the female versions of cops" like there aren't female cops and male nurses. And frankly, the worst nurses I have worked with have overwhelming been men. To be clear and to state the obvious, many male nurses are good at their job. We also know that female-dominated professions get valued less than male-dominated, and that men in those fields disproportionately get leadership positions.

And I've listened to patient complaints about some nurses who, sure, may have had a bad interaction with the patient, but who I KNOW are superb, brilliant, and compassionate professionals. They're also women of color who don't smile.

Nurses are the tip of the spear, as people talking about med errors love to say. Nurses are at the bedside, present and available to be mad at. We wake you up for vitals at 4 am, enforce fluid restrictions, tell you there's no more pain meds, and take ten minutes answering your call light when you desperately need to pee. Nurses are very accessible to be mad at.

There's weirdness about the perception of nurses in general. We're angels, we're heroes, we do stuff that no one else could, we're caregivers, we're nurturers, we're miracle workers, we're the people in the hospital who do "the real work*," this work is our calling, and this work is exclusively wiping butts and hand out pills. And by the way, wiping butts is degrading work. That's why we're angels. A guy shook my hand in the grocery store today because I told him I was a nurse. That's wild. Fun to be a mean girl angel cop hero.

(*untrue. you could not pay me a billion dollars to do the work doctors, surgeons, PTs/OTs, lab techs, social workers, pharmacists, and a thousand other specialized and often much less visible professions do.)

[sapphicrot]

ok im hooked. i need more streamer au lore

okay buckle up lol cuz i am boutta YAP. also for reference, these are their designs + “human” names, in descending order of age:

Moon (Kamaria), Suns (Cyra), Sliver (Sylvia), Opportunity (Felicity)

Indigo (no change), Wind (Chase), Sig (Sayani)

PIn (Piper), Yui (no change), Light (Phoebe), Pebbles (Felix)

So the streamer au doesn’t really have a set “plot”, it’s more just taking the iterators’ personalities and dropping them into the human world and letting them loose LOL. ofc there are references to their stories in the game, ie. Pebbles having cancer as a child, piper being a parentified oldest sibling, etc.

Sig, Piper, and Yui are all streamers and e-sports players, and eventually Pebbles joins in on Sig’s streaming shenanigans, either joining in with Sig’s chaos or doing his own streams where he screen records himself drawing. Moon mods Sig’s chat and very occasionally joins streams. Piper does do gaming streams but also does talking streams/GRWM type stuff and prefers doing those if they’re honest, and posts edited versions of the streams to youtube. Yui is pretty much a strictly gaming channel, and but will make appearances in Sig’s streams as they have a bit of a silly rivalry. Sig does have a decently sized fan following that he interacts with pretty frequently. She has done streams where she goes into the goddamn ao3 tag for himself and reads fics LMAO.

Sig, Pebbles, Moon, and Suns all live together in an apartment, and Piper and Yui live together as well (and are fucking BESTIES I’ll gush about that later). Sig met pebbles when she was still attending university, but subsequently dropped out after 1 semester because the whole streaming thing blew up. Pebbles still attends and is getting his B.A in fine arts. Sig met Moon through Pebbles and well. Obv they fell in love aww and then all moved in together. Pebbles met Suns later, they work at the library on campus and are getting their master’s in library sciences. Moon actually has a Real Job™ as a nutritionist and has a whole ass phd. Suns moved in with them after a whole lotta pspspsps-ing from Sig and Pebbles LOL.

Chase is Sig’s childhood best friend, they lived in the same neighborhood and are only a couple months apart in age. He isn’t a streamer and Sig unfortunately moved away for college so they don’t see each other often, but are still very close and have a minecraft world together that they’ve had for like, 7 years.

Yui moved from Korea after doing a semester abroad, but she never really found something she was passionate enough about to pick a major and eventually dropped out. Streaming provides enough income that she only needs a part-time job to make enough to live but it certainly wasn’t the future her or her parents expected of her. She can come off as a bit of a bitch, joking that she’s a “mean lesbian”, but it’s mainly because she feels she constantly has to be on the offensive. Given that she is an immigrant (specifically asian), for whom english is a second language, as well as short, queer, and a woman in a male-dominated space rampant with misogyny (esports), it’s not really a surprise she developed the attitude she has. She has a drive to prove herself but never really feels like she has, though since meeting the others she has become a lot more confident and comfortable with what she’s achieved.

(TW for abuse for this next bit)

Piper met Yui randomly in a coffee shop that was hosting an open mic night, and struck up a conversation with her. To Yui, Piper was the confident, sure of themself, had-it-all-together type of person she wanted to be. In reality they were living out of their car after running away from an abusive home in a conservative town and really, really wanted a fucking friend. Their mom had passed away when they were really young, and being the eldest sibling of 4, they were saddled with the brunt of raising them while their father had to work to make ends meet. He was very strict and at times verbally abusive towards them, and certainly wasn’t going to accept Piper being any kind of queer, pushing masculinity onto them that made them feel completely trapped. The second they turned 18, they threw their shit in the trunk of their car, withdrew every cent from their bank account, and drove off, never looking back. They feel really guilty for leaving their siblings behind in such a toxic environment but are too afraid to reach out to them, as they don’t want anyone to know where they went. They changed their last name to their mother’s maiden name just as a precaution (and because they don’t want to be connected to their father in any way, shape, or form).

(end of TW)

They’re incredibly attached to their car (a dented up white BMW from the 2000s) because it was their escape and their home for quite a while. Yui is completely unaware of all of this until some jackass backs into Pip’s car and busts one of the back taillights, which Piper can’t afford to fix and it sends them into a panic. This is the first time Yui sees Piper break down, sees them cry, and even though she is NOT a touchy person, all she can do is throw her arms around them and hold them while everything just bursts out. She immediately tells them to move in with her (and will NOT take no for an answer), and that’s how they end up living together. Piper is the first person Yui really lets her walls down around after being so hyper-vigilant about her self-image for so long, and they’re incredibly close. Yui was actually the first person Piper ever told to use they/them for them when they introduced themself. They’ve both really helped one another find their place and purpose in the world.

On a MUCH less heavy note LMFAO, Pip’s favorite band is glass animals, they’re really interested in fashion, and lowkey (highkey) a stoner. They share their weed with Pebbles to help him with his chronic pain, and that’s partially how those two get close. Pebbles and Yui also help them learn how to do makeup, since obviously with their upbringing they never had a chance to learn how to do it.

Piper is introduced to Sig (and subsequently Pebbs/Moon/Suns) when they tag along to a competition with Yui. Pebbs and Pip are kinda immediately into each other, but Pebbles is still with his piece of shit boyfriend (we’ll get to that in a second) and the two end up in a kinda terrible on-again-off-again fuck buddies situation that Piper just accepts as “good enough”. I prommy it ends up in a cute healthy relationship eventually but those two gotta FIGHT for it.

Speaking of Pebbles, he’s Moon’s adopted brother, and their parents are doctors. They actually chose to adopt Pebbles because he was sick and they knew they could handle it (both financially and physically), so he’s brought up in a very positive environment and is comfortable enough to come out as trans pretty early in his life. Moon is also incredibly supportive of him and becomes interested in going into the medical field because of both her parents and from helping take care of her brother for so many years. Pebbles has been in remission since he was 12, though has a pretty weak immune system and deals with chronic pain, so whenever he gets sick Moon is…very anxious to say the least. To be honest it’s one of the few times she loses her cool, and if Pebbles so much as has the sniffles she becomes anxious to the point of being unable to sleep and forgets to take care of herself. Sig and Suns practically have to force her to let them take a “shift” of monitoring Pebbles, and unfortunately she’s kinda a nightmare to deal with until Pebbs is better. She doesn’t mean to be this way but there were multiple times in her childhood that she thought she’d wake up without a brother and hasn’t managed to fully process all that.

Pebbles copes with a lot of stuff through art so that’s how he ended up being a fine arts major. He actually draws all the custom emojis for sig’s twitch chat, and they sell them as stickers too. Other than that his favorite thing to draw is just…the small, seemingly insignificant moments of life that he never thought he’d get to see. His final project for one of his classes is a painting of Suns and Sig sitting at the kitchen table in the morning sun, with Sig holding her head up, half-asleep, and Suns hunched over their cup of coffee. He takes a lot of photos too, as references but also just as a hobby. He keeps many of them pinned to a corkboard above his desk in his room.

He’s also a dramatic little emo (bc of course he is) and dyes his (naturally blonde) hair black, and Sig helps on the condition that she is allowed to dye his bangs a different color. It’s usually a peachy pink, but occasionally they choose a different color. Notably, when Pebbs is with his really shitty (ex) boyfriend, they’re dyed blue (hah ha get it like the rot. get it. im soooo good at symbolism). He met the guy at a concert and he’s honestly just a transphobic scumbag. Pebbles breaks up with him like 5 times (…and subsequently goes to Piper for. comfort…), but gets dragged back into the relationship multiple times until he’s complaining about something he did to Sig and it goes. Dude. that is NOT normal. Pebbles then breaks up with him for the final time and when he comes crawling back to try to beg pebbles to get back together, sig punches him in the face when he tries to get into their apartment, and almost ends up with an assault charge lmfao. Honestly if she hadn’t done that moon probably would have committed first degree murder so yknow. Once that dick is out of the picture Pebbs gets the much needed TLC from Suns, Sig, and Piper so it ends up okay in the end

I’ve already yapped at length about suns but yeah, grew up catholic ends up nonbinary with like two and a half boyfriends blah blah. They’re estranged from their parents but Sig’s family (and Moon and Pebbs’) accept them with open arms. Sig’s mom is filipino and speaks to him mainly in tagalog but sig never really picked it up (…aside from swear words…) and responds to her in english. Yui likes to make fun of him for not being bilingual LMAO. When sig visits her family back in the philippines and brings moon and pebbles, the two are really nervous and try to learn at least some tagalog before visiting. This prompts Sig’s cousins to relentlessly make fun of her because THE WHITE BOY KNOWS MORE TAGALOG THAN YOU??? CMON MAN. Whenever Pebbles whips out the fuckin duolingo ass “The apple is on the table” sentences they all cheer as if he just recited shakespeare or some shit. Most of Sig’s cousins are also fluent in english too so moon and pebbles didn’t really have much to worry about. Moon gets along with them but is older than most of them so she didn’t get as close with them, but pebbles hangs out with them daily for the entire time they’re visiting and even keeps up with a couple of them once they go back to america.

Suns also has really bad issues with food (specifically texture), and was really worried about the trip, but Sig’s mom and grandmother both help accommodate them and make their safe foods or find similar things so xe is comfortable. It’s really sweet and xe even learns to cook better from it. Moon and Pebbles’ parents also like Sig and Suns and Moon’s mom does NOT hesitate to whip out the baby pictures. Their dad is also a sweetheart to suns and they play board games together :3

sooo yeah thats all i can think of for rn! i probably left out a bunch of random little anecdotes but its really just. vibes man. they get themselves into goofy shenanigans and are just all kinda living their lives with one another <3 yeah we gave em angst but hey. it ain’t TRAGEDY or anything. uhhhhh here’s more doodles if you made it this far into this ramble i love you

[fyasamisato]

Lotta arcane stuff incoming for a bit! The first chunk is just general stuff not touching season 2 yet. I think with my queue we should be hitting season 2 stuff in a month ish but I'll write another text post before we get there just in case. Spoilers will be tagged!

[strawbubbysugar]

Hi hello I binged your fic in two days, scrolled through the tag until chapter one and I am full of ✨questions✨

So Matt sees both his wife’s and DJ’s as green, right? Is that bc green’s his favorite color? And that’s why he confused his wife’s string as romantic?

Did Matt’s wife divorce him after the DJ realization or did she die during childbirth? By the little info it sounds like he has full custody of Maddie??

If Matt’s wife IS dead, what happened to the string? In general what would happen if a soulmate died? Does the string disappear?

Idk if I’m overthinking it, but is Monty becoming.. too friendly? Based on the latest chapter with the tail wagging, I feel like he’s become more invested with YNgineer? Maybe he has a platonic string with them? Again, might be overthinking???

Saw some art with Rockstar YN in the So(u)l tag and I COULDNT HELP BUT NOTICE they’re wearing sun and moon colors?? Have they unconsciously been wearing their colors even before their awakening because that’s ADORABLE

So I know YNgineer’s string is silver/grey for the DCA because colorblind, but did you have a specific color in mind, like if YN COULD see color, what would their fav color be? Or is that reader interpretation? In which case fair lol

YNGINEER WROTE A SONG FOR SUN IM???????? THATS SO CUTE AND I HAVE TO KNOW IF THERES ANOTHER SONG FOR MOON? Chapter cliffhanger got me bad man I sense incoming angst but auuughhhhhh I hope they get back to fun sleepover times soon!!

Tysm for an amazing fic love it so much! The chapter lengths are so delightful! Not too short and not too long! Idk if that’s intentional but chefs kiss!! Looking forward to more, but of course no pressure!!! Take care of yourself!! Sorry if any of the questions are spoilery but I can’t wait to find the answers one way or another! 👁️👁️

^^ I recommend goin through the blog since I dont tag everything as so(u)l and a lotta these questions are answered!! Ill answer the ones that havent been/are incorrect though!!

Matt saw his wifes as a dusty green, and he sees the DJ's as rainbow. Dj sees his string with Matt as a more electric green, woven with black! already answered! When your soulmate dies, the markings you had for them fade even more than they already wouldve if both of you confirmed the bond. Theyre still there though, they just lose all colour. shrug! hehehehe Silvery would still be the colour I imagine, though with more of a hint of teal! Its really up to reader interpretation though :) There is another song for moon! :)

[moonlit-escape]

made an even sillier, stupider self-insert oc:

*ੈ✩‧₊˚ Moonlit ᨐฅ the neighborhood cat

/ᐠ - ˕ -マ a stray cat that lives in the neighborhood. everyone shares them, because the cat keeps choosing a different house to stay at all the time (although they do seem to have their favourites)

✦彡 is this cat a boy or a girl? no-one can tell! they respond to different pronouns and terms all the time! and good fucking luck getting them to let you find out.

ฅ₍ᓀ‸ᓂマ ੭ this is a really odd cat. for one, this cat can eat anything they want, and not throw it up later! including chocolate! (unless a hairball was incoming...)

✦彡 this cat is very sweet and very well-mannered! they even shake paws when meeting new people! but, only if that person is accompanied by someone they know. otherwise, theyre sprinting full speed to the nearest hiding spot!!

ദ്ദി（• ˕ •マ this cat is terrible with social skills! and is very skittish with people! to be chosen by this cat, is to be deemed a safe and comforting person

✦彡 this cat is clingy as fuck! they will follow you everywhere you go, make sure you're taken care of, stay by your side at any time you need them, and get all up in your business and yell at you when you're being bad!

ᨐฅ this cat will also disappear almost completely for days at a time, totally at random! especially right after they've been exceptionally sociable! what a moody kitty

✦彡 this cat is a huge fuckin nerd! they love to sit on the couch or bed and watch cartoons, anime, and video game let's plays. they even start purring when their favourite character comes on screen

≽^•⩊•^≼ this kitty is belled and tagged, but that doesn't prevent them from bringing their humans gifts! they like to bring the people of Mystreet things like rocks, cool leaves, dead insects, feathers, and random shiny things. and sometimes a dead mouse. (or the meat from a sandwich that they stole from another neighbor)

✦彡 thank irene cats can see the color blue, because that seems to be this kitty's favourite color! their collar is blue, their preferred toys are blue, their special kitty blanket is blue.. just a whole lotta blue! although they do seem to like green a lot, too...

ᓚᘏᗢ this cat is a blue-eyed, deep brown tabby with white markings on their chest all the way down to their paws! and they're small and scraggly as fuck! but, when they're treated well, they're quite soft and fluffy...

[fr-wiwiw]

15 questions, 15 people

I was tagged by @lienwyn! it's been ages but i have time to do this one now! Thank you for the tag dear ✨

1. Are you named after anyone?

I'm not. My mom's eldest brother gave me my name collaboratively with my parents. It was supposed to be something different like great figure from my country but it felt like a huge responsibility, so they changed it thank God for that lol

2. When was the last time you cried?

Just today. I wouldn't say full on crying, just a minute or less type of crying when you feel overwhelmed by something or when your brain decides to rewind a certain event in your head.

3. Do you have kids?

No but I have a baby turtle that I love <3

4. Do you use sarcasm a lot?

Sometimes yea when I'm having certain conversations with my group of friends or when we're playing online games and if there's a current event (ex: politic figure doing something foolish), it will jump out if i'm flabbergasted once or twice.

5. What's the first thing you notice about people?

Hmm.. depends. But my eyes would scan them up and down- and I realized that can come off as eyeing them like i'm some kind of arrogant person. I'm sorry to these people, I never meant to come off like that. But i like observing creatures and I draw too, so I tend to see them as a whole or if they behave and talk in certain ways and tone. I just notice things

6. What's your eye colour?

Dark brown almost black if there's no lighting. Typical asian eye color

7. Scary movie or happy ending?

Happy ending. I cannot watch scary movies bcs of my strong visualization and imagination. I can visualize almost anything from my memory and imagine them do anything next to me right here right now. It's... uncomfortable especially when my brain decides to scare me when I see dark places. it's the downside of being an artist

8. Any special talents?

So far.. I'm good at art related things. I want to try my hands on sculpting, painting in canvas, diorama, play more music instruments as a hobby and many more. But I don't have the time and money, hopefully in the future. I just love being involved in my curiosity and see what I can make out of it xD

I'm also good at reading people and situations. I'm a big empath too which comes in handy when I imagine or write. Or connect to people. I'm people's go to listener usually hahah but I create some more boundaries for this. It drains me because I feel deeply.

9. Where were you born?

Indonesia.

10. What are your hobbies?

Uh.. drawing, reading, playing video games, writing, listening to music, sing, eat out and take walks in mall or just strolling through shop marts.

11. Do you have pets?

Yes. I once had 2 red eared slider turtles for 11 years. Then 2 mini pomeranian, and another baby read eared slider turtle which sadly didn't make it for only a month. But my friend gave me another baby turtle, she's always ravenous and lively ^^ so cute.

12. What sports do you/have you played?

Oh man.. I played a lotta sports I even got a tan back then lol. Futsal (indoor soccer), soccer, kasti (kinda like softball / baseball), swimming, running, basketball, badminton. Would love to try snowboarding tho ngl it looks fun but I heard it's damn expensive. And horse riding. The only sport I play now is playing console games😂 would love to be active at sports again in the future

13. How tall are you?

156cm (5'11)

14. Favourite subject in high school?

English and art (but depends on the teacher)

15. Dream job?

Right now? A freelance or full time artist with stable income or good amount of followers to pay off my day to day living without a worry. I am a freelance artist, just not financially stable yet. Hope I can get there

I'm so late to this particular tag game so I apologize if any of you have been tagged before. @gaylilsherlock @uhhhhmanda @gayautisticraccoon @briwates @technitango @kdramastrix

Starting a Media Tag: Stardew Valley 1.6

Why? Fuck it! Why not! I like stuff, and I like yapping, and I've been told media breads are good for getting yourself into more stuff.

So, to start off, I've played the game to perfection once and am in the middle of a second round. Both were rather heavily modded, which I'll probably talk about later. This is just about the base game and additions.

It's good! It's a progress quest with cute NPCs, ranging from lovable girls like Leah and Sebastian to really unpleasant sorts like Pierre and Lewis. I like progress quests and I like interesting NPCs.

Anything I could say about the base game has been said before, probably, and the 1.6 changes are all great. Big chests are a godsend, even moreso in modded.

I'm fairly sure NPCs reacting to what you've sold is new as well, which is nice when I'm shipping strawberries and wine... but when everyone I talk to lets me know they hate cranberries it becomes a bit sad.

In my first playthrough to Perfection, mods were the biggest obstacle - in particular, unfinished mods in which not everything is obtainable. The perfection vouchers were necessary, unfortunately, because there's no cheat commands for 'set has cooked' and no way around broken recipes.

My current playthrough, I set my favorite thing as "Cheating" and included some very unfair mods. Fishing assist, because after the first run my fuckin finger hurt, and Tractor, because... my finger hurt. Also Heelies, because it's very funny and saves me a lotta time. And Skull Cavern Elevator, because I wanted to.

The thing about it that I didn't expect? I'm not having any less fun! Even when I use the mods in kinda unfair ways, like clear-cutting a forest or deleting every rock in the mines. It's fun to do, even, and doesn't diminish the rest of the game.

Skull Cavern Elevator + Tractor is extremely stupid and I love it. It's cathartic to just skip to floor 2000 and shit on everything.

I originally started playing these with the goal "Reach Perfection before Silksong releases". Given the modded impediment, I'd say I more than succeeded.

Incoming part 2+ probably:

Ridgeside Village

East Scarp (and co)

Sword and Sorcery

SDV Expanded

🤡 - Sora 🎢 - Figment 🎨 - Marluxia 🌙 - Bendy ❣️ - Gaster 🍽️ - Pinocchio (LEAVE YOUR GRUEL ERA, MY SON)

🤡 - What’s something dumb they’re embarrassed about?

I'd say a lot of the times he's like.. trying to avoid a topic and then Donald and Goofy call him out on it, even if it's something small. Like for example, sometimes he'll think about him and Kairi and Donald and Goofy will point it out and he'll get real embarrassed about it. I think anyone would be embarrassed about it, but like.. he doesn't really get embarrassed about much else? He kind of takes all his goofs in stride and fully embraces it rather then getting embarrassed.

🎢 - Do they like amusement parks? What’s their favorite ride?

Oh yeah, he LOVES amusement parks, a good bit why being that he y'know. Lives in one. But also he just loves seeing how much joy the thrill of it can generate. As for actually riding them he enjoys them just about as he enjoys anything else. Also journey into imagination sweep he stands his brand strongly.

🎨 - What’s their favorite color?

Not all that surprising, pink! Blue is a second, but not close. Everything else he feels pretty neutral about, except yellow. Fuck the color yellow.

🌙 - What’s their sleep schedule like?

Awful. Literally the worst. Guy hardly sleeps ever because he gets awful, super vivid nightmares, and whenever he does sleep, he gets waken up by something as simple as someone walking past his door. He hardly ever sleeps just in general.

❣️ - What are their love languages?

That's a good question, actually... Physical Touch is a good one just because like. He kind of hates how he is physically.. and also he hasn't really felt proper touch in like, years. Many of them. Many. That and probably words of affirmation as well as quality time - honestly mostly anything that involves really assuring him that he's like.. here, with the person. His issues <3.

🍽️ - What’s their favorite food?

HIS GRUEL!!! HE LIKES HIS GRUEL!!! But seriously I think he enjoys savory foods and then sweet, and like.... I don't know if he's branched out enough food wise to really have a favorite? He probably really likes pies, and he gets those with Snow, so there's that for currently speaking! A lot of the foods he probably branched out with and tried were on pleasure island so he can't really count anything there as a favorite even though he liked a lot of it.
