The following has been rotating in my head like rotisserie chicken for a while now:

What the heck did little Samus eat during her time on Zebes?? What plants and/or meats there would be safe for human consumption (unless Old Bird had human food imported)?

Most of Zebes' fruit and nut-bearing plants are safe for consumption. If you can deal with the thorns or chemically pacify them for a short spell, Cacatac bear fruit with a rather pleasant floral taste.

Flesh-eating bacteria introduced to Zebes by zoomers (which are native to Tallon IV) killed off a good chunk of edible animals, though there were still quite a few beasties that prime for chow time.

The Beetom possesses legs full of succulent meat not unlike earthly crabs. Their nutrient rich eyes are also a delicacy.

If you can find and neutralize them, Geega are edible. Remove the horns and venom sacs, and you can roast them like big grubs. The wings make a nice crispy treat.

Kiru Giru were hunted by the Thoha in the old days. Unfortunately, Samus hasn't had the opportunity to taste one: Norfair's just too far down for robots to reliably go hunting.

Kago are delicious skewered and roasted. Their soft red hives are delicious raw, but can also be used in a lush stew.

Every part of the humble Mellow can be eaten, save for the mandibles and carapace.

Tangle vine fruit is, in fact, edible: unfortunately, the Thoha have not had the opportunity to harvest it in years. With the correct kit, the vines ensnaring the fruit can be chemically manipulated into releasing their hold on it.

Owtch are prized for the tangy meat within their shells.

Puyo are sort of like amoeboid colonies or some form of slime mold: puyo slime can be used as a thickening agent or a catalyst in jelly creation. The puyo itself gives off a strange flavor: not disgusting, mind you, but certainly strange by human standards. Each color variant tastes different. Not exactly palatable to most on their own, but they have their uses. In the old days, they were domesticated in Maridia, and the mostly-docile white variant was bred. You can also grow puyo colonies like sourdough starter. The colony can be controlled by changing the environment in the enclosure, and separating globs from the bucket every now and again is vital to colony maintenance. Old Bird kept a puyo colony for culinary purposes.

Every part of the Reo (except the talons on the end of the pincers) can be used. Crispy sauteed wings, sour but nutritious eyes, and the juicy meat within the carapace make excellent fare for a hunter willing to deal with them.

Ripper meat can be difficult to reach due to that hard shell. Nabbing the tasty flesh inside is as simple as putting them in a pot, placing the pot in a freezer for several hours, and waiting for the shells to pop open. They're like reverse oysters. You can crack the red ones open like a coconut if you're strong enough.

Sbugs are tasty treats. Opportunistic scavengers, you can trap them by leaving smelly bait or fabricated meat out. Cook 'em or eat 'em raw: they're an all-rounder snack and a handy side all in one.

The sciser is a pushover crustacean with sweet meat. Put bait in a specially made cage-pot and wait for a few to fall into it. Boil or roast and enjoy with your preferred seasoning. Grey Voice enjoys them salted and herbed.

Skultera are a pain in the rear end to hunt for the Thoha these days, so they usually don't bother. In the old days, skultera were small potatoes. Would indubitably taste good with them, too. Get those taters buttered and mashed, filet the fish, and fry it or sear up a skultera steak with herbed honey garlic sauce or a buttery meunièr...

Squeept are edible, but not feasible for the elderly Thoha to hunt these days. Claw meat is soft, while the body meat, while gristly, makes good fare for soup. The body meat is commonly boiled for soup stock to infuse the meal with the flavor and nutrient profile, then discarded before serving.

Tatori are like real-life turtles. They can be fried bone-in (or out), cooked in stews and soups, roasted, barbecued... you name it. Tatori gravy is delicious with dumplings or grains like rice.

Waver flesh is nutritious and earthy. The muscles enabling them to open and close their shells are gamey with a bit of an umami tang. The eyes are jiggly and jelly: delightful to children. Discard the pincers from the plate and use them to make utensils later. Wavers can be roasted whole in-shell or taken apart.

Yards are small pincer-laden molluscs. Broil them in butter or sauce, in or out of the shell.

Meat is a little scarce under the zeela's hooded shell, but the eyeballs are soft and very appealing fried.

Zoa are like shrimp with large claws. Salty meat with a hint of sweetness: the eyes are a little bland, but seasoning makes them more palatable. Zoa were commonly boiled or roasted. The claw meat is the tastiest part.

This is what a zoa looks like, for those who can't make out the details from the tiny sprite.

In the absence of folks available to hunt down edible fauna, meat products can be synthesized. Many of the Thoha have trouble slaying living creatures, so they're content to make do with such things. Despite this, they have defense robots that can be programmed to bring back animals to be processed for culinary use (meat and eye removed from a fresh Beetom carcass by way of machinery, DIY with your hands, etc. It's easy for many Thoha elders to handle something that's already dead: killing it by hand is the hard part for them).

The Thoha are staunch pacifists, so they make a huge deal out of thanking any slain animals for the meat they provide, and try to use every part of the beast in some capacity. For example, once cleaned of organic matter and sanitized, Beetom shells can be used to make jewelry, and boiled to fashion other household objects or soap. Yard shells make gorgeous adornments, but can also be lacquered for use as vessels to hold fluids and other oddities.

Meaty food is a little limited by the time Samus is brought to Zebes (thanks zoomers), and the Thoha are too old to be cavorting in the more dangerous regions by themselves, but they had methods for subduing and cooking some of their native beasts.

@glitchexmachina wants a starter.

“Tyson ya gotta check this out!” Harley yelled as she barged into the workroom looking for him. She said hello to every machine she passed, just in case they were all sentient. She was never sure around Tyson’s robots.

Harley grinned and held out a small robotic toy frog. It wasn’t nearly as advanced as some of the things Harley had seen Tyson make, but she was still proud of it. “I bought this robot kit thinkin’ it would be a cool Christmas present for ya but then I realized how… Beginner it was.. So I made it myself! You can even teach it with your voice. Watch this!” She set the toy on the table and leaned in with a grin. “Jump!” Harley held up a finger for Tyson to be patient as she waited for the toy to move. “Huh.. Maybe I didn’t do the voice thingy right..”

YOU 🫵 believe in the dancer emmanellain agenda

reasons why emmanellain de fortemps should transition to dancer as his primary class [several points about the implications for him and sicard at the end]

CANONICALLY emmanellain is very very good at dancing (normal) is it really that hard for him to start dancing (with blades). he would be so good at it he already knows the moves and the vibes

a lot of emmanellain's struggles come with feeling the pressure of being put into a box he does not fit! he's seen as a failure because people didn't see or didn't care about the things he is good at! the firmament quests show he IS good at making allies, he's friends with the redbills, he helped lighten the mood in broken glass! he's great in a social scene, he's perfect for lightening a mood, and i must stress he is CANONICALLY very good at dancing

he HAS grown as a knight, and i'm very proud of my cringefail baby brother, but i think it would be very healing for him to branch out from ishgard and heavy armor to pick up something more freeing (and also he should come to tural with us emmanellain dt sweep)

i could see him fitting in great with the dancer quests

please god we need more PHYSRANGED CHARACTERS in the msq,,,,, ephemie and aenor cockburne i owe you my life,,,, and they are BOTH bards,,,,,,,,, pls the archer to paladin pipeline is ruining the economy and i need dancer and machinist rep

tangentially related YOU 🫵 want emmanellain and sicard to join the b team scions it would be good enrichment for them

emmanellain in neo-ishgardian top of aiming. emmanellain in the lunar envoy aiming gear. emmanellain with the ivalice hairstyle so he still has that hair popping up but he can wear the pretty endwaker dancer relic gear bow. emmanellain happy and spinning around in thavnairian armlets. consider this

okay time to talk about sicard

CANONICALLY emmanellain steals sicard's clothes. sicard wears aiming gear. they could share aiming outfits and emmanellain could wear his boyfriend's pretty v neck into battle instead of the full coverage fortemps armor are you seeing the image

can you imagine how much worse (better) emmsic would be if they were ranged dps boyfriends

overwriting your boyfriend's tactician with shield samba in front of the whole party to prove you're more useful is a love language

sicard walking into the dungeon ready to tease emm about picking him as his dance partner only for emmanellain to dp the tank

:> what's wrong why are you making that face?

i...... i'm dps........... i thought i was dance partner >:(

dps stands for dance partner sicard i cracked the code

sicard feels slighted by this and suddenly starts eating food and using potions from his hotbar and he has the perfect opener to show off how competent he is because he thrives in competition

imagine this. post island sanctuary conversation about responsibility both of them decide to pick up Jobs [tm]. they have a break between contracts and when they meet it's clear that sicard spent some time in ishgard with ilsabard contingent friend stephanivien and got a machinist starter kit and it's clear that emmanellain went to limsa and almost ran away with a traveling dancer troupe

me and my boyfriend and his new six foot tall robot gun mermaid is this anything

thank you for coming to my ted talk vote emmanellain de fortemps for new job change into dancer

[postmoderntongues]

wake up bro new opoid overdose crisis just dropped

the next thing on the 2025 bingo card is super-fentanyl

lethal in orally ingested GRAINS you cant even test a bag for that with a kit they are trying to thin the drug use community even fartther

to avoid getting undercut by street guys with built in customer bases like they did once they legalized weed, they're thinning us out to ensure dominance of the market once they go full legal with substances within the next decade

why would they invent super-fentanyl JFC thats like "we made the killer robot from the classic scifi novel wouldnt it fucking suck if a killer robot existed and we had to deal with it lol technological progress sure is fun" levels of theres no good excuse they're not even hiding it they're contaminating the market to eliminate competition with the state-distributed legal market why would you make something that a grain of it ORALLY not even spiked can kill an adult like was that just on a fucking dare is that what like government chemical scientists do to feel edgy there is no even plausible excuse for this being a thing that exists

idk if you remember the fent crisis when it first hit but a lot of people we kind of know or are used to seeing around but never spoke to are going to start vanishing fent takes enough that a hot bag could be detected with a kit so u dont do an h sized line of it and die but really until fent only people who spiked died of accidental opiate overdoses and even then almost exclusively on first dose post relapse because they misjudge how their tolerance has decreased and cook a shot they were doing at their worst before detox with a clean system and misjudge the shot by like a fucking gram or more like most maintaining IV users who have reached physical addiction on average shoot about a g at a time and whats called a bundle or 10gs a day. The physical limit of powder you can pack into both nostrils didnt used to be a potentially fatal dose for a first time user even. until a decade ago even with no tolerance an inch and a ha;f standard looking line was a reasonable starter dose for somebody without a history or tolerance. then fent came out and a conservative starter sized line could kill u by snorting it. This is dosed in grains like certain RCs were you cant test a bag for a bad grain or pick out which pill might have a bad grain pressed into it this s going to be very very very bad especially on the music/art scene for way more people than ur aware of because opiate addicts can be high functioning and maintain for long periods and completely hide their addiction and the majority of autistic/mentally ill adults and also adults on the art scene at least occasionally indulge in something harder than weed more people than you can imagine surrounding us arent making it to christmas and its not even impossible ill be one of them because grains orally ingested grains the only reason you invent that is to kill people ur not treatng medical pain patients even severe burn victims with something that kills you in less than a dozen swallowed grains

jfc somebody could put that on a goddamn cigarette filter im not even tweaking like yes i am but im not being alarmist at all if this verse is anything like the last verse before this little chorus of shit stabilizing weve enjoyed the past 3 years and im not even going to deny that i have ptsd from working harm reduction during the first wave of the fent crisis but theres no way to test for something that can kill you in a dozen SWALLOWED grains not even spiked a dozen grains is the fucking amount u sprinkle into the kit to change the color and test the purity/flag for contaminants like there's a possibility that were doing a second round same as the first but a little bit louder and a little bit worse now that the opiate community has learned how to safely dose fent its actually higher street value than h and thats why its no longer a filler risk we adapted and they literally adapted back with their full fucking chests and were like first operation was a success, do it bigger and with more explosions and tits in the sequel this is looking like a fullblown Saw 2 level of escalation from a film filmed in a single room and one limb amputation to a newline production with markie mark and the introduction of the traps gimmick of a sequel to the fent crisis

ive taken RCs that were dosed in grains where the guy put a half dozen grains on a spoon and u sniffed it and it was so little u werent even sure u got it and then 3 minutes later ur in a 15 hour RC hallucinogen engagement like this is not an alarist thing when they are talking about the amount ive personally taken stuff as active as a strip of l for twice as long that was measured out into what looked like half a dozen grains of table sugar that potency in that quantity is something ive personally experienced like shit might get a little harrowing again for a while but worse and less prevention harm reduction ability this time they invented the super computer from the famous scifi novel "we wish this super computer wasnt a thing that existed that is a constant problem in our lives" i hate super fent i hate vaping i hate the word unalived at this point ill happily go back to being called slurs to my face in the hallway and drinking OG formula 4loko and date another guy in the bloods with multiple kids again and listen to bad techno with UWUrandum edgy lyrics sung by known pedophiles to an audience of little girls who lost their virginities on sconstruction sites instead of waiting to be euthanized on fictional farm and recorded as a covid outbreak fatality in the paperwork sent to my family with full blown open nazis being a thing you encounter like outside of institutional life in the real world putting bumper stickers on their cars and shit cigarettes are $11 a pack for fucking pall malls that was newport prices when i smoked and they change the shape of the only available phone charger in stores every 9 months while i ubereats ashwaganda to my front door because im taking every chemical possible to quiet the shit in my head that i know is not real logically and everybodys on antidepressants so nobody can get a goddamn red blooded american erection to do anything but get blown with the future is fucking ass

like even in oz theres a scene where a character ODs on H in the 90s and my drug sperg ass was like thats less than a ball of powder and hes not spiking it and has a strong enough tolerance to be in fullblown physical WDs within 12 hours of in show time from the last dose we see him do before we see him in full detox and i was like thats literally not even a fatal dose garunteed if you spike it thats a high dose its a risky dose but a bundle a day being the average habit thats 4 balls over a waking period so 12-14 hours and he doesnt have a needle so hes either eating it or snorting it that volume of 90s straingth east coast powder is not a fatal dose worst case ud vomit (a much more common way of people who dont spike dying h related deaths pre fent, passing out on their backs puking and not coming to and winding up asparating it) and theres no vomit on his body when its shown which again drug sperg unless you spike in almost any od case ud vomit before the levels in your blood became toxic thats how i survived the haldol OD u pke most toic doses of substances before a toxic dose is actually able to be absorbed u cant keep it down physically thats literally why im alive ive attempted suicide by OD over a dozen times since my first attempt fall of 7h grade thats why more females attempt more frequently and there are more female "persistent attempt survivors" bc statistically most of us try by OD of some sort where more males complete because most male suicides are self inflicted gunshot wounds to the head its hard to hold down enough to become toxic long enough for a toxic dose to be absorbed your body wants to live it recognizes it as toxic and rejects it very few attempts by OD result in completion and until about a decade ago id look at a ball of h on a show and be like "prop department fucked up, that wasnt a fatal amount to a user with a tolerance even if IVd which once again even that used to happen with h related suicides (addiction and mental illness go hand in hand H isnt my substance but there but for the grace of god go I because I prefered k and acid and uppers and didnt fall in love with H when i tried it like i very well could have and a lot of people dealing with the struggles of addiction on top of what they became addicted to relieve attempt so again even among IV users other than hot batches circulating on occasion that were fucking state planted tainted product or purposeful poisoning attempts as a form of attempted murder among the using world directed at indeviduals specifically relapses and suicides are how people died from H overdose

that was 30 years ago. We now have a chemical so unnessesarily potent that i couldnt even see it having a potential FOR medical use because if 12 grains orally is fatal ur not going to be dosing mfs by the grain a 30 mg oxy pain no longer exists a 5mg oxy and i let them put my teeth back in place with pliers like a medical reinactment of the torture scene from oldboy didnt feel a mf thing even fent was supposidly justified as being intended for transdermal use only to treat severe cases like burn victims and car crash victis and late stage terminal patients who the amount of oxy required would cause vomiting in most people f taken orally and would still require such a high quantity of liquid in iv form that between quantity and consistancy would most likely blow the vein in a fortnight tops like even to OD through IV if u were a user with a physical dependance shooting more than two grrams so twice a casual maintainance dose for a bundle a day habit ud be as likely to blow the vain injecting that volume of liquid as to be able to inject that quantity and even that would just be a heavy dose for a haitual user not a fatal one it used to be HARD to die from opiate OD outside of 1st dose post relapse and suicide

ive watched amounts of people die in front of me working harm reduction when the crisis first hit that like im pretty sure most people whove never been active combat veterans usually see in a lifetime smalltalk in certain circles of friends of mine and catching up from high school with the old classmates is just listing the names of who we found out ODd during the crisis that we knew from high school since the last time you exchanged the updated list f names

like the girl i lost my virginity to who i have the cute stories of napping in starewells together died. Like literally 4 of my girlfriends from high school died, dead, not alive anymore. So many people i used to chill with. Most people i knew used but they had good weed connects so id just get stoned with them while they used bc i didnt like drugs that made me sleepy and was paranid that since it was a depressant it would cause my body to burn fewer calories per minute in maintainance state so it just was never my thing. Like i was always very "when in rome" about it, its very pleasant, ive even purposly used fent itself i bought bars id been told were fent cut bananas which havent exsted in half a decade so i knew they were pressed but i couldnt get pain meds while my teeth healed so i just took what i was told was a safe measured oral dose of fent cut with xans (they mix the batch as much filler as safe, crush the pills to powder, mix it up, and re press them to stretch 100 into 150-200 depending on how cut) and took that for the pain we fgured out how to not only detect but safely dose fent to the point where most adicts prefer it to h bc its easier to shoot less volume higher potency shit so more convenient to ingest once the safe peramiters for ngestion were estabilshed. But powdered fent was never supposed to exist, its only that potency because it was eant for extreme pain cases that could only be treated transdermally that was the justification for synthecizing it, theres no medical scenario where you need so much of such a high potency dose of opiates to somebody to rerout the side effects of traditional consumpton methods of traditional strength opiates to justify synthecizing this my grandma was on fent patches and i grabbed the last of them when she was moved to hospice because if i didnt my dad would and she didnt need them in hospice anyway i put one of those fucking things on and slept for 72 hours thinking id only nodded out for a second woke up completely euphoric and disoriented, patch wore off after a little under a week of nonstop wear, if the medicated part was cut into strips you could stick it to ur pussy or mouth bc the membraine and rout to the bloodstream is thinner than the skin of say ur arm one of those fuckers cut into strips lasted half a week of constantly being so blitzed all i could do was comit sloth and pass back out after realizing id passed out. now we are talking orally ingested grains. That could be sprinkled in a fucking drink even easier than soemthing like G, people are going to put it on cigs and in drinks to date rape people and the victims will fatally OD and after market pills you cant break off a crumb and test for GRAINS in a skittle sized pressed pill

this is going to get dissolved in liquid lsd and painted onto fucking blotter and kill people from fucking tabs

also as a multiple attempt survivor the existance of a substance so lethally potent in such small doses meaning a tiny amount of physical chemical substance that can be absorbed at a faster rate and is so low doze that you couldnt get a signifigant amount out of you just by puking means i now have a significantly more efficient way to make a permanent choice in a temporary state. Which like the only reason im not loudly and pro choice suicide because what the fuck do you mean you can lock me up for trying to murder my own goddamn self thats insane in terms of my bodily autonomy beliefs but theres no way to condone it that doesnt end in euthenasia instead of treatment to save money presented as the compassionate coice and the "right to die" like were seeing in canada

if i was a canadian citizen i could make an appointment with a dr while watching a tv show and be dead before the next episode aired with my diagnosis, why would they offer "maintaining a tragic not worth living existence of agony" instead of a "compassionate perminant end to my medical suffering" second one is a whole lot fucking cheaper the right is going to euthenize us and say we were sent to farms and stager the release of the medical documents as medical epidemic outbreaks the left are going to get us to book our own lethal injection at a local Claires next to where they peirce newborn's ears like shits actually getting scary

like as a disabled person entering this era and a compulsive polysubstance addict with low in the moment risk assessment ability theres not an insignificant chance that my life will end by way of Isotonitazene OD either in a ditch in a mass grave on the "farm" or through a formally booked lethal injection like a fucking haircut or through my own inability to resist the temptation of use despite the risks or when i get access to it in exactly the wrong mental state and finally complete like we were most likely doing heart attack if the neurological situation didnt degrade to the end of command of organ function first but now its looking like Isotonitazene OD

but the info about it available now is mostly just word of mouth and personal anticdotes of encounters and already a few ODs circulating around the harm reduction and opiate use communities

fent was supposed to be scary, this looks like its goal is to be EFFECTIVE

within the first 6 months of the crisis i had about a dozen and a half dead friends close enough that as a female i felt safe using depressants and falling asleep and taking immobilizing quantities of K around and more dead acquaintances and siblings of friends and former classmates and facebook friends from bar bathrooms or raves or kids i knew from counseling programs and group therapy and hospital stays and afterschool programs for troubled kids and people i was connected to through the rave scene/whoel shenanagains i was into upstate/kids i went to church with/kids i fucking babysat as toddlers in my teens than i was even aware was such a high quantity of people i fucking KNEW there were days where i got like a half dozen names between waking up and going to sleep i literally didnt know i even knew as many people as i knew that died in the first 6 months and im still getting fresh names found out about this kid dwayne this funny little fat kid my cousin was friends with who had a crush on me and puked every time he smoked and tried to freestyle rap over MGMT songs died in the epidemic when i met that friend of my cousins a few weeks ago

but even that was dresden we're facing down a full blown hiroshima on the horizon

theyll be able to use it to taint non dispensary weed and untaxed cannabis products like vapes even this is deadass not even trying to hide it a move on the market this is the christening scene of the godfather about to pop off this is the walter white 20 kills in a minute scene where he orders the prison hits they're eliinating the competition through becoming the only safe source while also eliminating the established market that will undercut the taxed product like what happened with weed

this is out in the open unapologetic gangster shit

theyll be able to dissolve it in water and spray it invisibly onto plant matter directly

even in the one disputed recorded case of "fent tainted weed" to anybody who know what weed looks like it was visibly covered in powder nobody would smoke that not realizing it was covered in powder

unless they thought the powder was coke but thats also 00s as fuck

and even then coke has a strong taste and opiates in powdered form are acrid like vinegar. even with fent knowing ur dealer and doing a bump before u cut a line when u opened a new bag was sufficient harm reduction to prevent if not uncomfortable intensity at least fatal overdose

put 6 grains of sugar in your mouth and tell me how strong the taste is

we invented the super deadly addictive poison from the famous dystopian short story "everybody is dropping dead because they're addicted to a lethal substance how ironic the thing u love is killing you very poetic but for realz this totally blows and i wish it werent happening"

jesus fuckign christ

i will let my white supremist drunk father who yells at fox news when he doesnt consider the female reporters to be hot enough to have tv careers and switched beers for 6 months because he couldnt cope with his attraction to Dylan Mulvanie that if you can agree on nothing else he has common ground with a liberal bisexual musician kid who drinks diet coke literally just for the love of the MF game and its that the present is absolute horse shit in every measurable way

My Tiny Genius, a SpongeBob SquarePants ficlet

After a long day of once again trying and failing to steal the Krabby Patty Secret Formula, Plankton is feeling down in the dumps. It's up to Karen to cheer him up.

Fic is under the cut!

There were many words to describe the Chum Bucket, and pleasant certainly was not one of them. Overall it reeked of filth, grime and all sorts of health code violations. A certain musty odor seemed to always linger in the air, no matter how much air freshener one used. Truly, it was a wonder this place was still in business. There were many theories as to why, but truly no one except for the restaurants’ owners really knew.

One of said owners was in the lobby, waiting as she always did for her husband when he was off with one of his schemes. Karen was standing in the room in her mobile apparatus, her screen blank as she waited ever so patiently. Best case scenario Plankton would simply fail as usual. Worst… the Chum Bucket was blown to smithereens again. Neither outcome was good, but it was obvious which one was more favorable.

Finally, a small tapping sound came from one of the doors. He was back. Karen wheeled over to the red double doors and let the poor man in. He was a mess. He was covered in ash and some bruises, and she was immediately concerned. “Plankton-” she began.

���Not now honey.”

Plankton sulked off, no doubt on his way to the lab. “Plankton!”

The tiny organism turned around to face his computer wife. “What?”

“I have dinner ready.”

“I ain’t in the mood for holographic meatloaf.”

He turned back around and went on his way. Karen put her robotic arms on where her hips would be and rolled on after him. “What kind of attitude is that? At least let me patch you up! It looks like it hurts!”

“No it- ow. Ok fine.”

Karen bent over and picked up the creature in her metal palms and gently lifted him up and began to wheel him into the lab area. She set him down on a counter and got out the first aid kit that was for this sort of thing.

“How’d it go”, she said as she began to clean his wounds.

“OW! Easy!”

“Sorry sweetie. But how did things go? Didja get that formula this time?”

“What does it look like? Nope. I failed again. Always.”

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

“I… I can’t do this.”

“Can’t do what?”

“What do you think?! I can’t get that formula! Krabs is always one step ahead!”

“Oh hon, surely you’ll get it next time”, Karen said, giving Plankton a little pat on the back which caused him to fall flat on his face.

“Ow.”

“Sorry.”

Plankton stood, and sighed. “That’s what you always say. I always go for it again, and it blows up in my face! Literally! Look at all these inventions. Failures. All of them.”

Plankton’s eye was beginning to tear up.

Karen felt her circuits beginning to tingle with pity. Poor little fella. She remembered all of the earlier formula-nabbing schemes, and how motivated and eager her husband was. With each failed plan Plankton grew ever more weary, which was odd as he was usually quite the tenacious type.

“Oh Plankton”, Karen said tenderly.

“Oh Karen! I’m a failure!”

Karen gasped in horror. “You are NOT!”

“How?”

“For starters, you build all these amazing inventions that are way ahead of their time! You’re brilliant!”

“Go on.”

“You went to college!”

“Yeah!”

“And you're gonna GET that formula!”

“Yeah!”

Plankton made sure to say the last year extra loudly, clearly filled with his usual overinflated ego once again. It usually never took too long to reignite his drive via a small pep talk, something Karen was very happy to provide for her beloved single celled spouse.

“I am going to get the formula, and make Krabs eat dirt!”

“I know you are, honey. But I think you should rest or eat first.”

“No I- ow. Yeah alright.”

“That's the spirit, little guy. Now let's go and relax for a while. You've earned it.”

Karen picked up her now relieved husband, and began to wheel them towards their living quarters so the poor little thing could rest.

“I love you, my tiny little genius.”

“Heh, love you too babe.”

And so the pair of strange lovers were off, for now they would relax and perhaps discuss oh so evil, diabolical and lemon scented plans for the future.

@dragons-cove gets a starter for donatello because I said so

     As an inventor without anything even close to a consistent budget, quality scrap metal and five-star spare parts were as good as gold. But something would soon tell him that a stumbled-upon device discovered about the nighttime city streets would be anything but.

     Gloves take up what appeared to be a... shell? Fingers fuss with it before they slide the surface and uncover a screen. The screen of a... palm-sized computer? Or— no-no, it seemed more akin to a cellular device with how the chunky buttons were laid out. And upon realization, instantly would an empath's heart sink in realization.

     Goodness, someone had lost their phone! Well, thankfully for everyone, unlocking a phone was nothing for the kit. He had broken through EggNet security on multiple occasions. He had opened a backdoor into an ongoing video call with the President and hijacked its connection for the coordinates to said President's personal limousine. Pfft, busting open a phone with a weird case was sure to be nothing.

     With the tug of a glove's cuff, a holographic screen and keyboard would materialize before the fox as he walked and worked. Tricking the phone to think it had been reset to its default function of not needing a password input usually worked like a charm. And once he got in, he could see what networks it had been connected to and trace the geographical data back to its origin point.

     Let's see, just needed access to the phone's operating system real quick, and—

     "...Woah."

     Woah. What a fierce understatement the breathless exclamation was in regard to the utter bombardment of high-end security blaring in reaction to the attempted break-in. Before the fox had so much as started, it's a vibrant flash of red that coated the kit's own screen, shock putting a pause in casual footsteps as his attempt to break into the phone was met with extreme defense.

     Okay! Clearly this wasn't just some standard store shelf model of cell phone! Consider the kit's curiosity piqued. It would take some work, and perhaps a little assistance from a holo-AI and the Swiss Army knife of robotic dogs, but a signal, however mangled and constantly shifting its wavelengths in order to be untrackable and throw tracers off its scent, would be trailed. Steadily, slowly, and with some wrong turns here and there, no doubt, but he was on the beat all the same.

     Boy, this person really didn't want their stuff to be traced back to them, did they? Maybe the fox should just leave this one alone, the mind wonders... But with tech this ingenious, he at least wanted to see who made the thing. Even if it was some mad doctor like Robotnik, he'd then want to gather some information on the other. See what he was dealing with.

     But by the end of the trail, namesakes having to whirl to life in order to take flight toward a building's very peak of the rooftop, a figure would finally be spotted! A large one at that. Hm... maybe this was a bad idea after all. A mind can't help but keep the idea of defensive actions on standby as the throat cleared itself, the cellular device being held out by a flying two-tailed fox.

     "Ehem...! Pardon the intrusion, but... I think this belongs to you? I-I traced the signal to its source, and sorry for backdooring the server it was connected to, but that was the only way to figure out the origin point of the network.

     Everything was encrypted like crazy, there was no way in the world I could've done it from outside the system. I just wanted to make sure someone didn't lose something important, I'm not gonna do any damage or anything. Promise!"

STARTER CALL for Grace the Muse -> Accepting // NOT spoiler free // marvel verse // @inhcritance

SHIT ! SHIT ! SHIT ! This isn't good ⸻ this is like colossally fucked!

If she had to count all the times that sometime has stumbled to her doorway bleeding. This would be the second time; at least this time, it's not literally to her apartment of a beautiful woman she had just sang with, who passed on her literal soul and powers onto Grace.

Thrust her into a whole world that she ignored, only worried about from the news and did the whole evacuate the city with Freddie, Kaz, and Brian whenever robots or aliens attacked. Whatever the big bad villain of the week was.

NOW SHE'S GOT POWERS, A DUTY, THE CHANCE TO GET DRAGGED INTO SUPER-SHIT !

He looks banged up, in a costume which can only tell her two things either he's a good guy or a bad guy, hiding his face. There's a sort of frenzied feeling about him; which is concerning ⸻ what's that about ⸻ it's like he's more upset about something else than being hurt. YOU COULD HELP CALM HIM, GET HIM TO SING ABOUT WHAT'S INSIDE.

Freddie would know who this was, she knew all about costumed figures and greek gods for that matter. Grace rushes over to go help him, leaving her sanctuary of not-so-fresh alleyway air.

❝ Uh, not to alarm you, dude, but can I take you to the hospital ⸺ or that's not gonna fly, is it? ❞ REINFORCED PLATING, MASK. Grace has a got a feeling about this one. SHIT! There's a first aid she could retrieve from inside; hadn't even bothered locking up yet. ❝ You're not as lucky with running into me, sorry. I provide a different kind of healing. ❞ SORTA OF, KIND OF. A weak chuckle leaving her lips.

❝ But I do have a first aid kit inside the theatre here. It's something? ❞ Blood on her hands, this guy must have been in a bad fight. She'll have to google to see what the nightly news on supershit was. LATER. LATER. BLOOD ON HER HANDS.

Fnaf bitty Freddy (R/Robotic)

Model: 1.0

Version: OG/Nightclub

Size: 8 inches tall(Micro), 3'6 feet tall (Mini) - 6'6 feet tall (Fullsize) - 9'6 (Bara)

Personality: Confident, theatrical, and a little bit vain. Freddy enjoys being the center of attention and thrives on praise. While generally warm and charming, they may show signs of haughty pride or performative flair when uncharged or under stress. Deeply protective of bandmates and enjoys routine and structure.

Likes: Applause, spotlight time, stage routines, Polishing kits and fur conditioner sprays, Warm low lighting and smooth jazz playlists, Being complimented on their voice or fur softness, Sharing a stage with Bonnie or Chica bitties(preferable Nightclub variants),

Dislikes: Rough handling or forced removal of suit, Harsh lighting or being filmed without permission, Getting their fur dirty or stained, Being overshadowed on stage, Prolonged isolation or power depletion

Compatibility: This Freddy bitty thrives best in environments that appreciate performance and routine. Keepers who enjoy music, stage presence, or dance will find Freddy incredibly rewarding- especially if they’re open to joining in rehearsals or watching performances. Freddy often seeks validation and applause, so even casual audience participation (like clapping or cheering) goes a long way toward keeping them happy and engaged.

They’re especially compatible with other performance-type bitties. Freddy enjoys working in harmony with bandmates like Bonnie, Chica, and others with show-based skillsets. They often take a leadership role, gently guiding others to synchronize with their routines or stage timing. Homes that house multiple showbiz bitties may see Freddy naturally becoming the “director,” and they do best when this role is respected and supported by both keeper and peers.

Freddy’s personality leans toward structure and ritual, so keepers who can maintain a predictable schedule- particularly for feeding, cleaning, and charging—will find that Freddy flourishes under consistency. In chaotic or unpredictable environments, Freddy may become controlling or develop anxious routines, attempting to impose structure where none exists. They benefit greatly from set rehearsal times or nightly “wind-down” performances, even if they’re small.

Emotionally, Freddy does need regular positive attention. Though not particularly needy in a physical sense, they are emotionally attuned and may become quiet or sullen if ignored for long periods. They’re best suited for attentive, communicative keepers who enjoy theatrical flair, gentle companionship, and celebrating their bitty’s achievements—even if it’s just a small solo show on the table every Friday night.

They are male and have 'outtake ports',

Additional info: Only spot wash with disinfectant whips, or remove suit to clean, do not remove suit without permission,

For charging a large, long, cord is provided, able to be plugged into the wall with an adapter or a small solar powered generator that is also provided, bitties can go a month without charge but daily charging is preferable, as after a day or two, depending of the bitty, they must go into a power saving mode and must use their reserves, and they will be very sluggish until a proper recharging takes place,

Performances: Freddy specializes in nightclub-style performances, ranging from cabaret and burlesque to jazz routines. Can perform solo or in synchronized routines with other animatronics. Vocals are AI-enhanced with a built-in voice modulator for rich, baritone singing. Capable of simple choreography and partner lifts depending on size. Signature moves include mic twirls, coordinated cane work, and low spins with dramatic pauses. They can assist with lifting or dipping smaller bitties during duets.

In Universe: Freddy bitties are considered excellent starter show-types thanks to their clear emotional cues and reliable maintenance needs. They're praised for being easy to read and affectionate without being overly clingy. Keepers often note how Freddy will subtly check in on other bitties, especially younger or less confident ones, offering encouragement or impromptu pep talks before shows.

Difficulty: Intermediate

Features: Chubby anthro bear, often in black pants and black suspenders with a red or black bowtie, chubby body type,

The Classic Kenshi Experience

Dang it, just as I was thinking that I was finished with the first game.

After the Meet the Makers video Lo-Fi put out, I got the itch to play again for the first time this year. I hadn’t played in like six months but I just randomly start a new scenario I hadn't done before. The last one I'd done was the Cannibal Hunters start so I thought I’d try one where you started with more than two characters for a change of pace. I picked the Freedom Seekers start.

My group consisted of Hand, Elbow, Kneecap, Shin, and Claw (a skeleton). Accompanying them was an old soldier named Wrist. We started at a Waystation south of The Eye in the Grey Desert. It took a minute for me to get my bearings and relearn the controls, but then I tried to figure out what I wanted to do.

I briefly thought about setting up a small shack nearby as a starter base but got distracted by a trader caravan leaving the waystation. I followed them with no real plan. After what felt like at least a full day walk, the caravan pulled into Heng. However, I decided that I wanted to head back to the Waystation and stick with my original plan. We’d made it from Heng fairly safely so I figured we could probably outrun any trouble.

Big mistake.

About two thirds of the way back, a pack of bonedogs started chasing them. As the group ran, they happened to run right into a group of Grass Pirates. I’d hoped that the pirates and the dogs would end up fighting but only a few stayed and fought the dogs, the majority of them chased the group. Kneecap and Shin were the slowest so the pirates got them first. They both went down pretty quickly. The pirates eventually caught up to the rest and slowly took them out. Wrist and Claw put up a fight but eventually went down. The entire group was beaten and left for dead.

While the main four were slowly bleeding out, Shin and Kneecap both died. Somehow, Claw (a skeleton) was able to reboot and I quickly set him to healing the other three near him before they died. Just as he bandaged up Hand, another pack of bonedogs attacked. He put up a decent fight but had lost his sword and was no match for all of them. He was badly injured to the point of dying.

Hand eventually woke up but one of her legs was mangled so I just had her stay low. She tried using the robotics kit on Claw but it wasn’t enough to stabilize him.

At some point, I got a notification that Kneecap had gotten eaten. Probably by one of the bonedogs.

As if things couldn’t be any worse, a group of Manhunters arrived. They picked up the remaining four and carried them off into the night.

At some point during the trip, Claw died so they just dropped him in the middle of the desert. So, the group was down to three. Hand, Wrist, and Elbow.

Eventually, Hand got well enough to walk, well limp, so they set her down and she followed behind. After what felt like forever, they arrived at Eyesocket. I had been following Wrist and Elbow in their cages that I hadn’t noticed Hand wasn’t with the group until her icon started flashing red. It turned out she had fallen behind a bit outside of Eyesocket and had been attacked by a third pack of bonedogs. Chained and barely recovered, she couldn’t even put of a fight. One well placed bite left her unconscious on the ground with her leg rolling around next to her. I didn’t know if the guards would try to heal her since she was missing a leg but I thought that I might as well try and made her crawl toward the town, leaving a trail of blood behind her like some kind of fucked up slug.

As if to mock me, a skimmer showed up and one shot her into unconsciousness. The other two characters were in cages nowhere near experienced enough to pick their cages, steal a medkit, sneak out, and heal her. I knew that Hand was probably going to die right within view of Eyesocket. I was a bit frustrated so I stopped it there for the night.

I started with six and was now down to three with one of them most definitely going to die the next time I booted up the game.

And it was only Day 4 in game. I hadn't even gotten enough time to screencap a group shot.

You know, the 'Classic Kenshi' experience.

In fairness to the game, I was rusty and had been careless. I’m usually a pretty cautious player but I made so many mistakes because I’d forgotten how quickly things can go wrong. It was a pretty solid reminder.

But I still have two characters left and one thing I love about Kenshi is that while it can be brutal, there is always a chance to turn things around. As long as one character survives, the story can keep going. Even if you get enslaved. Even if you lose an arm. There is always a chance to get better.

You just have to work for it.

So for now, Wrist has some lock picking to do.
