[stillfrownyclownlol]

The impulsive thoughts won

MORE ASHDEN HEADCANONS

-Aiden keeps buying them ugly matching couples shirts ("If lost return to owner"/"Owner", "Stupid"/"I'm with stupid") which Ash will only wear as pajamas or if she needs to "wear something she doesn't mind getting dirty"

-Steals his hoodies when she's at his house cuz it's always cold there. One time when she was upset she kinda just. Wriggled into his hoodie while he was still wearing it. Aiden pretty much went to heaven.

-Ash helps dye his hair because oh my god his hair is SO DAMAGED. She actually knows a lot about haircare since hers is so long and she needs to take care of it well :)

-hes rich so. If Ash mentions something off handedly that she wants something or to do something he'll get her it. Oh her coffee maker broke? Espresso machine on the counter literally the next day. Ash is (usually) put off by this but she doesn't really say anything because the gifts are very practical (like these super good noise canceling headphones)

-aiden: my girl mad at me

Aiden: I hope I die

Ash: 1) all I said was for you to put your socks away and 2) I'm literally in the room next to you come here.

-He thinks she's so awesome. Like she could just be stretching and he's like "I'm so lucky fr God sent me a little red haired angel who could whoop my ass ❤️". Deeeeeep down she's flattered.

-will ALWAYS offer her some of his food if they're going out together. For Ash it's 50/50 lol

-His favourite thing ever is just. Pushing her bangs back and giving her a little forehead kiss. :). It's one of the things that makes Ash implode and get flustered so that's a bonus.

-Chronically staring at her. If she falls asleep at school he will be staring at her too because he's a weirdo like that 💖 She looks so cute all the time, it's not his fault >:0

-first time she said "I love you" was when she was mad at him lmao 🤡 He did some shit and got seriously injured so she was just yelling at him asking if he thought she didn't care about him or love him. LITERALLY slapped her hand over her mouth. Tried to get up to hug her and he messed up his ribs even more lol

MISTAKETALE AU

By Inkolink

Chapter XVII:

Shadows Attack.

After resting that night, Chara got up along with Sans upon hearing some screams coming from outside.

-What's happening?!

Sans quickly got up and put on his cape, while Chara answered

-I don't know, I'm going with you!!

-... Alright.

Chara and Sans finished dressing and walked out only to encounter the owner of the spider bakery, Muffet, who instantly slapped Sans when she saw him.

-IDIOT!! DAMN Idiot, YOU CHEATED ON ME!!

-Forgive me Muffet, I don't-

-FORGIVE ME WHAT?! WHY ARE YOU ATTACKING THE CITY?!

-Wait, what?! -What?! -WHAT?! Muffet realized that Sans wasn't making the mess outside.

-Hehe- I'm very forgetful- sorry Sans...

Sans blushed a little.

-Hey, nothing's wrong!!

Chara looked at Sans for a few seconds when Muffet was distracted, raising her eyelids repeatedly. -... ;)

-Chara is not the-

-Tontin, nothing happens ;)

-Undyne apparently came out. If Toriel is alone taking care of Frisk, who will take care of her?

-DT!Frisk. Chara mentioned.

As she said this, more screams could be heard coming from the center of the capital. Along with gunshots, knife sounds, slashes.

The trio just looked at each other and decided to run to see what was happening. Many monsters were escaping from that crisis, and when they finally arrived, tired of running, they saw an aberration of aberrations, the worst deception, a confusing storm.

Three skeletons, in the center of the center, next to several monster bodies. Chara screamed, Muffet, started to cry, as several spiders were lying on the floor, lifeless. Sans, he was frozen, still. He couldn't believe what he saw. He started crying, too. This was enough to get the attention of the trio.

The one on the right carried an axe full of blood, his skull was broken, and on that broken side, a red eye. He was wearing, like the other two, a bright blue sweatshirt. Additionally, it had a gray hood.

The one in the middle was wearing a fairly similar sweatshirt, only much more grayish, and what was supposed to be his hood was wheat yellow, with fleece. Unlike the other two, he had the colors reversed: a black vest/shirt, and white pants with black stripes. Additionally, he was not wearing "slippers", but sneakers of the same color as his sweatshirt. He had no visible pupils.

The one on the left was wearing the same clothes as the one on the right, only there was no break in his skull, and his eyes seemed normal. This one was hooded, and his jacket was full of dust...

Those were in their order, Horror, Killer, and Dust. In seconds, they got closer and closer, and when they least expected it the other trio, the hooded one, Dust, approached Chara, quickly...

S  L  A  S  H

0 damage.

DT!Frisk had placed himself between the two, next to Flowey, with his shield of determination, which blocked the attack.

-Hey, i advised you to find someone else. Chara is already taken... ;) The boy winked, and Dust seemed surprised, and at the same time, quite upset.

Then, Undyne appeared, signaling for the skeleton to escape with her and Muffet. Undyne knew, deep down, that the children could face them... And that she will lend a hand if necessary.

DT!Frisk and MT!Chara winked at each other. The trio of skeletons seemed invincible - and also, they seemed confused, because the kids were outnumbered. With an extra skeleton, the children couldn't-

Suddenly, a third human joined the fight. It was a girl, she had brown hair, with a pink tinge at the end of her hair. Her left eye was covered by her lock of hair. She was carrying a pink scythe. She had a smile in her face.

The trio of skeletons was ready to fight...

And the trio of humans was, too.

on a scale of 1-10, how stupid would it be if i were to slap a flamethrower and a decksweeper onto a deaths head?

I actually made a Flamethrower Death's Head because of some art that @zhjake made for IGF.

-- SSC Death’s Head @ LL6 -- [ LICENSES ] SSC Death’s Head 2, HA Genghis 1, IPS-N Tortuga 3 [ CORE BONUSES ] Reinforced Frame, Improved Armament [ TALENTS ] Vanguard 3, Heavy Gunner 3, Skirmisher 3 [ STATS ] HULL:4 AGI:2 SYS:0 ENGI:2 STRUCTURE:4 HP:26 ARMOR:0 STRESS:4 HEATCAP:8 REPAIR:4 TECH ATK:0 LIMITED:+1 SPD:6 EVA:12 EDEF:8 SENSE:20 SAVE:13 [ WEAPONS ] FLEX MOUNT: Vulture DMR MAIN/AUX MOUNT: Deck-Sweeper Automatic Shotgun / Pistol HEAVY MOUNT: Krakatoa Thermobaric Flamethrower (Throughbolt Rounds) [ SYSTEMS ] Personalizations, Armament Redundancy, HyperDense Armor, Explosive Vents

I call this Firebug.

The Death's Head's Core Power sucks in general but it's absolutely worthless for this build so we won't ever use it. This build is entirely focused on getting in as close as possible and then being a giant fucking problem.

You want to use your excellent speed to get really close to the enemy, activate your HyperDense Armor and from then on, your average turn looks like this: Skirmish to fire your flamethrower into a group of enemies, and then Heavy Gunner to designate two targets that will become Impaired.

If either of them move, they either just help you line up the cone of your Flamethrower for you, move away from you (and thus outside the minimum range of your HyperDense Armor) or move towards you and potentially trigger your much more damaging Decksweeper Overwatch instead.

How do you feel about current version meta? :0 for me I enjoyed DU but got a little disappointed about how the meta is mostly firefly centric but regardless I can clear higher difficulties with boothill

idgaf about no meta plus i have aventurine so there’s nothing i can’t clear in over world because for some reason my aventurine has like one billion defence and like 80% effect res.

i also have dhil who i can slap on like any team because atp everything has an img weakness, otherwise boothill smacks hard and i also have jing yuan who i spoil like a little princess with my harmony units.

idgaf about moc or anything, and events usually bring in enough jades so i don’t worry too hard.

su isn’t hard for me either, but the blessing & stuff definitely carry. can’t get past g&g difficulty five because my GOD i get stuck with gepard every single fight and i know i’ve lost when he drops his 572638 hp shield and then jumps up with that damn fuckin guitar case yelling at the top of his lungs and he one shots EVERYONE (4000 damage per hit is insane???????? who decided that was okay.)

but hyv meta is meta. it’s just money.

OC cuddle scale tag

Rules: Rate your OCs based on how they handle cuddling/being cuddled on a scale of 0-10

Many thanks to @noblebs for tagging me! This thing looks so cute and fun I absolutely have to participate! I have a lot of OCs so we might be here for a while but it's a very fun exercise to go through.

Saccade: 6/10

She's got biceps like cantaloupes, and is pretty tall, so you'd think she'd be great at it but she's pretty hesitant around touch for the most part, and so usually is pretty tense and awkward. She prefers to give people a handshake or a slap on the back rather than hugging them, and that hesitation comes through.

Vítor Cadogan: 2/10

You'd think a man whose occupation is looking after emotionally damaged children would be well used to giving hugs, but nope! He tends to leave that side of things to Apricity, preferring to be more of a steadfast emotionally dependent rock as opposed to a warm, nurturing personality. He's extremely awkward about it, and he's rather lanky physically, and isn't big on touch as a rule, so the whole thing doesn't suit him.

Ucalegon: 6/10

She's very sinewy, very thin, lots of bones and edges and hard muscle. Despite this, she does put her all into it, and often rocks the people she hugs gently in her arms. She doesn't much like being hugged, but doesn't mind hugging her friends and loved ones, of which there are many. She's also pretty strong and could lift most people, if you're into that.

Cerebellum: 8/10

Muscular, a little on the boney side but he makes it up with sheer enthusiasm. A hug from Cerebellum gets you lifted in the air and twirled around in excitement. He likes to hug his friends! But it can be a bit overwhelming for people not into that, alas.

Diomede: 5/10

He's bonier and thinner than he used to be these days, and is a lot more touch-starved than he ever was with the Vagor. So very hesitant and awkward for the most part, up until his desperation for human contact hits and then he's extremely clingy until you let go.

Hendrix: 2/10

Hendrix is thin, bony, very angular, slightly wet and cold, and has a number of very hard shell growths all over his body that can and do dig into the skin. The only reason why he's not 0/10 is because he does properly try to give you a bear hug if you ask (he's not large enough to really make it work but it's the thought that counts) and he's just about tall enough for most people to snuggle in nicely, it's just that you're snuggling into what feels like rocks.

Imperator V: 9/10

V is a gentle giant in every sense of the word (except for all the murders). He's very large, both muscular and with a healthy layer of fat on him, and while he is somewhat starved for real gentle human contact he's not socially aware enough to feel awkward about it when it is initiated. If you get his shirt off him, he's also pretty hairy. He'd make a great human blanket, if you asked. One mark deducted for the very real risk that you might get blood stains on you from hugging him. On account of all the murders.

Imperator III: 0/10

Sorry babe the armour that singes the flesh of the sinners and nonbelievers of the Empyrean's doctrine stays on during hugs.

Ed Edwards: 8/10

The man is over 7 feet all, and is a former boxer who has put on a lot of healthy weight in his sporting retirement. He is also, despite his bitter attitude and constant pissed off attitude, is someone who does quite like physical contact. He is touch starved also, which I'm coming to realise is pretty standard in this project, especially Bronze Eden. What intense cultural puritanism and Catholicism does to a motherfucker I guess. Anyway points deducted because he still doesn't quite know his own strength and will squeeze you a little too hard.

Sal Solomon: 1/10

Like hugging an unwashed porcupine.

Sylvester Praeceptor: 5/10

Probably the only person on this list that gets hugged somewhat regularly, by his favourite sibling and proverbial twin Jules. However he's not really big on physical contact outside of that, and rarely lingers in someone's embrace. He's fairly tall but quite thin, although his shoulders which are deceptively broad are probably nice to rest your head against if you want. All in all, fairly middle of the road hugger.

Potentate Magnus: 1/10

He's an emaciated 105 year old man with a very literal God complex. He doesn't hug and if he did it would be like hugging a skin-clad skeleton who actively thinks you are lesser than him. Also wouldn't take off his mask so you'd get stabbed by his horns.

Potentate Augustus: 1/10

He would think you were attacking him and would have a heart attack and die.

Potentate Boris: 6/10

Quite warm, very gentle and pleasant, but points deducted because he would start crying and make it awkward for everyone.

Potentate Salvatore: 7/10

He's more of a kiss on the cheek guy rather than a hug guy but he can and will do it, and is fairly warm and cozy, probably the most normal Potentate to hug. I wouldn't linger though, he gets creepy if you stay around him for too long.

Potentate Felipe: 0/10

Would get a stiffy, potentially cream his pants. Bad idea for everyone involved.

Potentate Clymene: 10/10

Warm, soft, smaller than you but properly wraps her arms around you and all around is a very comforting person to hug. Smells nice too, on account on all the floral perfumes she uses. And she won't tell you off for having bad manners for wanting a hug as others might do.

Potentate Zephyr: 3/10

Clymene took all the good hugging genes 😔 he is tall, lanky, and usually is awkward, tense and uncomfortable, but is much more open and warm around Clymene, who is the main person he's hugging. Again, they're probably the only siblings in this miserable family who genuinely like each other.

Potentate Louis: 2/10

Like his uncle Zephyr, he is awkward, tense and uncomfortable, and has the same lankiness Zephyr has (although isn't as tall). He is also chronically touch starved, but will snuggle nicely given the opportunity. Unfortunately you might get hair gel on you, nothing we can do about that.

Sorry for writing so much, games like this really make me realise how many characters I have in this current project 😅 I'm tagging @woundlight, @chauceryfairytales, @dyrewrites, @albatris, @solipseismic and as always anyone else who wants to give this a shot! It was a really cute and fun thing to do!

Warden Ingo Cosplay Build Log

Hey Legends Arceus / Submas / Pokémon fans ! I spent two months last year making a Warden Ingo costume because the game made me fall in love with the franchise all over again (and because I love sad amnesia uncle, of course). I'm pretty proud of it, so I thought it'd be fun to share the process here in painstaking details. I've been cosplaying for over a decade now and I learned a bunch from so many defunct cosplay tutorials on this website, so I thought I'd give back. This isn't a guide, persay, but rather a dive into the methods and decisions I picked to complete this project. Any pre-made items or patterns that are available online will be linked! I'll be splitting down each piece of the costume into its own section for easier reading. This is gonna be a long one with a bunch of pictures, so I'd suggest viewing on the blog directly! Without further ado, all aboard!

Station 0: The Guidelines

Before getting into the build itself, I wanted to preface this wall of text with the guidelines I set myself for this project.These core pillars inform a lot of the decision-making, and some people might feel like using this log as reference for their own cosplays, so I thought it'd be good to put them here to explain why I did some stuff the way I did. Comfort first: I knew I was gonna wear it in the summer, and stand around all day at a convention, so it needed to be lightweight and comfortable. (well, as much as a cosplay can be, anyways.) Realism: Ok, that's kinda weird to associate "realism" to a Pokémon costume (unless you're Detective Pikachu I guess), but I wanted to look more natural instead of translating a shiny fancy 3D model straight to real life (nothing against that, it just wasn't my goal). This meant adapting certain elements that only really worked in stylized Pokémon graphics. Be a huge cheapskate: I didn't wanna break the bank with this one, so if I could save money thrifting or reusing stuff I had lying around, I was going to do it. Whenever you see me pull some material out of my ass that wasn't entirely fit for the job, that's why. After putting these down, jotted down a battle plan for the project (basically just a huge compartmentalized list of all the material I expected to need and the steps to complete the costume), and then it was time to get to work.

Station 1: Thrift Shop Pit Stop

I like starting every project with a quick trip to the local thrift stores to see what I can find. I hate sewing pants with a passion, so my priority was to grab some navy suit pants to match the coat's fabric to later. I also found a long sleeve black shirt for Ingo's undershirt, a belt I ended up not using, and lucked out with some excellent clown shoes with removeable insoles. After slapping in my own insoles, replacing the shoelaces and fixing up the pants' button, we were good to go on every element that could be done without any extra work on my end. Moving on.

Station 2: Three Refined Metals For A Hat

I'll be honest here: when I initially planned out the entire project in my notebook, the hat was scary as hell. I had no clear idea how I was going to do it; I didn't really want to buy a similar pre-made hat cause roughing it up would've been stupid hard to get to look right. I figured I could probably make it out of EVA Foam (a certified cosplay classic), but I've never patterned a shape this complex before. Turns out Kamui Cosplay made a foam pattern for the same kinda hat. Score! I purchased the pattern and assembled the hat using 6mm EVA Foam and Contact Cement according to the instructions. I then destroyed some poor polyester cord trim from the bottom of my scrap bin and glued it into the base for the... sticky-outies? The damaged bits. Y'know.

With the base finished, I drafted a pattern for the fabric covering, cut my pieces out of navy twill, sewed it up and slid it over the hat. I did the same for the inside with some cheap black muslin leftovers from another project, glued it all to the base in strategic spots, and then patterned, sewed and glued the band on. Finally, I took my seam ripper and scissors and opened up the seams where the little piles of sad polyester scraps were lining up to free them. With the main part of the hat complete, I cut up a disc of 10mm EVA foam for the insignia, scored the design on with a hobby knife and heated it up to form a bit of a curve. It was then sealed with flexbond, painted and sealed with a clear coat, and glued on! All that was left after this was weathering the hat. It's a little hard to photograph this piece properly, so I'll show the weathering process when we get to the coat.

I apologize for basically pulling a "rest of the fucking owl" here, but honestly a lot of the process was improvising and somehow not destroying the entirety of my progress, so I have no pictures of the hat building process beyond this.

Station 3: Sneasels Ripped My Coat

Ingo's coat started with a heavily modified version of a commercial pattern. Specifically, it's the D Coat from Simplicity's 4789. I could've probably found a pattern closer to the Subway Bosses' coat design, but this one had already been in my pile of "patterns I bought for an abandonned project and will totally use someday, I swear" and it was close enough, so I used it. Modifications included extending the collar, making the coat a little longer in proportion to my body, the sleeves wider at the ends, and adding inner pockets (a cosplayer's best friend). Oh, and the white bias tape on the edges and the orange stripes, of course. You may have noticed I'm not showing the pattern with all the modifications here. That's because as part of the Cheapskate Protocol, I really wanted to use this old Simplicity pattern to save money. A pattern I bought when I was a teen way back when. the misses sized pattern enveloppe. So I had to size up the entire damn thing. The biggest size on this pattern was like 7 inches off my measurements. It's a paper Frankenstein golem. It looks godawful. The actual adjustments to make the pattern Submas-ready are incomprehensible in there. But hey, I saved like 10 dollars! I started by assembling the base coat (undamaged) out of navy twill. I added heavy interfacing in the collar to help it stay up. I considered adding a lining to it to really sell the fact this used to be a modern machine-assembled piece of clothing, but it wouldn't have looked as good with the rips and tears later on. As a bonus, it's one layer less in the fight against heat exhaustion! However, if I were to make this coat for Pre-Eeby-Deebied Ingo, I'd definitively do a lining.

Next step was the stripes! I used some double fold white bias tape to finish the edges of the coat and topstitched the ones on the back of the coat on. I then used the same orange cotton as the hat band for the three orange stripes,which were topstitched on. Cheapskate Protocol made me buy barely enough orange cotton this time around because I was tired of building up the pile in the fabric scrap bin, so I had to improvise to make it work by snipping the bands in strategic spots in order to cover to whole coat properly. It's not like the parts that would be cut off later for the damage would need them, anyways. ✨Optimization✨

After rolling my rock up the hill of a Hell of my own creation, I booted up the game, dragged my avatar to the Ingo enclosure and marveled at the magnificent creature to see where the coat was ripped. I traced a loose guide of the tear designs with washable fabric chalk and crudely cut up the bottom edge, sleeves and collar to have the basic shape down.

All that was left was to add the armband and the buttons. Turns out the only metal buttonsI could find that were big enough were those buttons kits to cover with fabric. Since I wanted to go for realism here (and be able to throw the whole thing in the wash after sweating in it all day), I wanted to avoid crafting them myself. With the main construction done, it was time to do the weathering! ... ... ... OH GOD I FORGOT TO ADD POCKETS

Behold, the world's most awful pockets. Two stupid little bags sewn in such a way you hopefully can't tell from the outside that I completely forgot that I wanted these. They literally only exist so I can have my phone handy at a convention. There's a buttonhole to close it too, I guess. They're shamefully hidden with all my lining-less, raw seam sins. Ok now we can destroy the coat

Station 4: Stinky And Dirty

I mentionned earlier during the hat section that I was going to get back to the weathering process. This is happening now. For the sake of Realism™️, I wanted the damage to look natural in real life, so I had to make it look believable. Luckily this wasn't my first rodeo with the Dirt, so I had plenty of weathering experience under my belt. To break up the awkward scissor cuts from earlier on the edges and fray everything up, I pulled out the sandpaper and started... Sanding the fabric. Might sound weird to some, but a lot of costume makers swear by it. It's also great for ripped jeans (if those are still popular today) and general natural wear. I also refined the shape along the way with scissor to break up any long straight cuts before fraying the edges. I took care to reinforce any newly destroyed seams with a sneaky staystitch so it doesn't unravel in the future. I then mixed up a bunch of different shades of brownish grime with fabric paints (I had black, brown, yellow, orange and green on hand) to dirty the whole thing up. This doesn't look as realistic as some other methods like weathering powders and Just Using Real Dirt, but as mentionned earlier I wanted to be able to just throw it in the washing machine at the end of the day to sanitize it. (If you're interested in actually learning how to weather a costume, this guide is where I started my journey.) I prioritized the ripped edges and any spots where grime would realistically accumulate in over time, like under the edge of the hat band. Paint was dabbed, stippled and rubbed on with whatever garbage tools I could find, which in my case were some old crusty brushes, sponges and toothbrushes I could get really violent with. (brushes were harmed in the making of this costume, but not my good brushes.)

The whole thing was then sealed with heat using a flat iron as per the fabric paint instructions. With the coat done, all of Ingo's old Subway Boss uniform was complete!

Station 5: A Warden's Garb

Next step on the list was making the Pearl Clan uniform. Thankfully, there's a fun little piece of concept art that shows Ingo without his signature coat, so from it we can confirm that his clan outfit has short sleeves (good for the comfort goal) and consists of two pieces: a tunic and some kind of hip sash. I omitted the hood on the tunic because I was realistically never going to wear it up and it would have just bunched up under the coat anyways. Now you'll be painfully aware of that terrible corner cutting truth whenever you scroll down and see photos of the costume. Sorry. I drafted out a quick pattern for both pieces of the clan garb through the power of math for the sash (a couple half circles with another piece for the border) and tracing over a tunic in my wardrobe for the shirt. I assembled a test version out of scrap muslin to make sure it worked properly, then set the pattern aside so I could prepare the fabric. In order to have all of the tunic elements match together, I picked up a bunch of white stretch knit fabric and a bottle of purple synthetic dye so I could reach the shade of dusty lavender I wanted. I measured out two squares of fabric based on the pattern. One square was for the darker border on the waist sash, while the rest was the lighter color for the whole outfit. I boiled water according to the dye instruction and worked on my Fabric Soup.

With the fabric dyed and washed, I cut my pattern pieces out and assembled everything together. Nothing special happened there since the pattern had been tested and adjusted prior to sewing the real deal. Ok, one thing happened actually. My sewing machine absolutely hated how thin this fabric was and kept trying to eat my costume. By the end I was about ready to throw the machine out the window, but things worked out.

It's pretty sneaky and totally not visible on the outside, but the sash is held closed with two snap buttons on the front. It's easily the single jankiest piece of the costume due to the aforementioned attempt by my sewing machine to have fabric dinner. But hey, it works and the jank isn't visible so who caaaares (I care)

Final step for the Pearl Clan outfit was adding the logo on the front. I wasn't sure how I wanted to do this, at first, but to keep the fabric's stretch and keep with the idea that this is a hand-sewn garment from old Hisui, I decided to go with hand embroidery. I grabbed some scrap white cotton, dyed it purple, then cut it out in the shape of the logo. It was then painstakingly applique'd to the tunic by hand with embroidery floss.

With that done, the tunic was completed! It looks absolutely depressing on a coat hanger, but when worn with a belt it's all nice and cozy. As a bonus, it layers with the coat well enough that I don't have to wear a binder under everything to hide obvious boob shapes. Another win for the Comfort team! 👏 With all the sewing done, all that's left is the Warden bracelet and the hair.

Station 6: Noble Sneasler's Cool Bling

Ingo's got a bestie bracelet of his best pal Sneasler, so we gotta make that. The build should be pretty standard to anyone that's made anything out of EVA Foam for a cosplay. I drafted the pieces by referencing the in-game model, cut them out of different thicknesses of the material to create some depth, and glued everything together with contact cement and hot glue. (The main bracelet is 6mm foam, the details are 2mm foam and the black parts for the base of the head and the gem are 4mm foam.) I added an elastic on the wrist to keep the bangle secured to my arm while still being able to easily slip it on and off.

The whole thing was then sealed with flexbond, painted and then sealed with a spray clear coat. Honestly, it was the simplest part of the build and it actually went without a hitch this time around.

With the accessories done, it was now time to get to what I am convinced is every Submas cosplayer's worst nightmare: The Goddamn Hair.

Station 7: The Goddamn Hair

There's a lot of artists credited as character designers in the credits of Pokémon Black & White (2010). This means I can't figure out who to blame for Ingo and Emmet's stupid sideburns that make absolutely no sense in the real world. Instead we're just going to scream at the heavens and find a solution to the geometric flaps. Another fun fact: I'm awful at wigs. Like absolutely awful. I understand the methods involved, but I'm stupid bad at applying that knowledge on an expensive mop of plastic hair I don't want to ruin. So I did some research to figure out how people were making the twins' hair on their own cosplay. Everyone did a great job, but it wasn't really the effect I was looking for, so I decided to start from scratch. Because, you see, I was going to completely avoid styling a wig. I've always interpreted the art as them having some sick sideburns/muttonchops. (This art piece by waltias on twitter was posted like a week after I finished my cosplay and I felt so so validated in my interpretation) I also love Makeup FXs, so I thought "hey, I can look up beard makeup tutorials." I ended up with two ideas: either I could buy crepe wool hair in grey and glue the fibers to my face individually every time I put the costume on, or I could make a reuseable prosthetic. I'm a lazy piece of garbage that likes doing things once so prosthetic it was. I mean, I know how to ventilate wig lace. It'll be reusable and take 4 minutes to apply. Smart! I got the Jett in Light Grey from Arda Wigs, a ventilating hook, matching wefts and the lace. I had a plan, I was ready, it was going to look great. And then I spent 40 hours tying individual strands of plastic hair on a wig lace mesh. For a total surface area of maybe 3 square inch.

(Pictured above: A Fool.) It was hell. I might've incurred a stress injury from the process and then had to let it rest for a week because I did it all over a couple days. Would I recommend doing it? If you're patient, sure. I love the result. But this was, by far, the worst part of the entire project. 40 hours. The entire coat took me like 6 hours. 40 fucking hours.

After painstakingly tying individual hairs to a mesh and realizing I might've reached the Ninth Circle of Hell along the way, I took my couple squares of ventilated wefts and trimmed them to the proper length. The result was awesome, and I don't regret it at all. It looks exactly how I pictured the idea of sideburns would look like. But it also took 40 hours of me just tying some fucking hair to a mesh. Maybe there was a better solution, but there's so little ressources about the process online that I just went with the methods I could find, really. I pray someone starts offering squares of pre-ventilated wig lace someday so no one else has to suffer like I did. As a sidenote, I didn't even bother with the balding hair since I wasn't gonna go through all the effort of heavily modifying a wig and wearing a bald cap if I wasn't even gonna take the hat off.

40 hours.

Station 8: Bits And Bobs From Under the Subway Bench

Honestly, after the absolute nightmare I went through making the sideburns and goatee, The final touches were a cakewalk. After all, the costume is complete! What's next? Warden Ingo uses Pokéballs like a cool guy, so I wanted one. I usually make pretty much everything myself for costumes because it's fun, but after the ventilating adventure I just wanted to rest. I'd been following NisuzCraft's work for a while now, and I loved the wood grain effect on their Hisuian Pokéballs. I wholeheartedly recommend them, their work is awesome.

As a final touch, I grabbed some red cord I had lying around from a previous project to craft a little loop to hook my convention badge onto. I don't really like having the badge show up on photos, so it was a clean way to have it easily accessible while having it be easy to slide out of sight. I based the idea off of the knotted ropes the Galaxy Team member hang their Pokéballs from on their uniforms.

Lastly, though it's not necessarily part of the costume itself, I made an overly indulgent ita bag panel for the first con I took Warden Ingo out to. The collection's grown since then, but here it is:

Chandelure: JellyBearDesigns Ingo & Lady Sneasler: AstroTeenyArts Warden Ingo, Emmet&Ingo Duo: Cynniarts Ingo & Emmet with fingers crossed, Hanging Ingo, Emmet & Warden Ingo: Zhampip Rubber Straps: Official Pokémon Mate Merch Go show them some love!

Terminus: You Have Reached Hisui Station

So, first con wearing Warden Ingo came and went. What's the verdict? Pretty great experience, honestly. It was relatively comfortable to wear despite record heat in the middle of summer. The only real issue was that having a wig and a hat together trapped heat real bad, therefore some wig breaks were needed. I also initially used spirit gum to stick the facial hair on, and I struggled to remove the residue afterwards from the lace mesh, so now I just use body tape to keep it on. Nothing broke, nothing hurt, so I'd say it was a success! I haven't had to modify or repair anything for the future, so I'm very proud of the results. To anyone who read this Build Log to the very end, thank you so, so much for your interest. I hope this may have given you some insight into the process; especially if this helps your in future cosplay projects! If you don't cosplay, I hope it was still an entertaining read.

Hoping to see more wonderful Submas cosplays in the future!

Hellagur's new module looks interesting, but I don't think it holds up when compared to the first one he got. (I'm going to slightly change my mind on its efficacy over the course of the monologue below. I had made a glance judgement, but the math reveals that it's pretty decent. Look below for details.)

Module X +350 HP +90 ATK

Trait Addition: Gain 25% Sanctuary (Phys/Arts damage resist) when HP is below 50%

Talent 1 modification: Gain up to +130 ASPD Tenacity, capping at 50% Max HP (from +100 ASPD Tenacity, capping at 30% Max HP)

Talent 2 unmodified

Module Y +90 ATK +60 DEF

Trait Addition: When defeated, once per deployment does not retreat and instead recovers 30% HP.

Talent 1 unmodified

Talent 2 modification: Regenerate 80 (90 with Potential bonus) HP per second when not blocking an enemy, or when HP is below 30% (from Regenerate 60 (70 with Potential) HP per second when not blocking an enemy.)

The extra life naturally has its uses, especially since he gets set to 30% HP where he has +100 ASPD, but generally speaking if something can kill Hellagur once, it won't struggle to do that again in the next hit when he's that low. There aren't that many enemies that have a big fuck-off-tankbuster they use once every minute that you'd want to put a Module Y'd Hellagur on when you have Dollkeepers, operators who can naturally be invincible (Specter, Blaze, anyone with Salter, others) or operators with barriers (Mudrock, Nian, (Archetto), others (I think)) or even just a Dreadnought Guard with their own Module Y, where you can go for the much cheaper to build Matoimaru who incidentally has even more HP than Hellagur, especially when he's on module Y if what you're looking for is someone with big-ass HP and an extra life.

Module Y Max Level Hellagur has 4225 HP Module Y Max Level Matoimaru has 6048 HP, 6291 at Pot 4 and 6431 at Pot 5, which leaves her at 2419~2572 HP post revive. (This makes me feel like the Dreadnought Module Y would be more interesting if it made the operator deploy with max hp reduced to 40% and revive with the full 100%, but that's a tangent and I never go off track.)

So yeah. A bit of Matoimaru shilling.

The intent of the module is to make it safer for Hellagur to sit at 30% HP by giving him his talent regen when below so he can enjoy the full +100 ASPD and if someone punches him really hard he has the safety net of an extra life.

Module X gives him an even higher +130 at an earlier 50% HP while also providing 25% Sanctuary to make it safer to sit at lower HP and enjoy maximum ASPD.

Both modules have the same intent. X has the higher ceiling, but he dies if he gets killed, Y makes it so he doesn't but has less potential but also makes it easier for him to die in the first place.

Gaining regen from Talent 2 while blocking is kind of a moot point when he'll usually also be attacking while blocking.

Assuming he sits at 10% HP with Module Y while blocking an enemy who deals Arts damage and attacking said enemy Hellagur gains 80 HP/s from Talent 2 (a one third increase over not having the module) and 117 HP/s (rounded) from attacking at 0.6 interval due to +100 ASPD from talent 1, meaning it provided 59 HP/s, for a total of 197 HP/s, 80 of which are from Module Y.

Same situation, but this time with Module X: 0 HP/s from Talent 2, because he's blocking 135 HP/s from autoattacking at 0.52 interval, 77 of which are due to the boosted Talent 1. The total remains at 135 HP/s and the module boost only amounted to an extra 18 HP/s.

However, this is not accounting for the sanctuary effect, which is a fully positive EH increase so I can simply slap it onto his HP/s as a modifier, making it 180 HP/s (135/0.75) [He takes less damage, so he needs less healing. It doesn't matter how you sustain a certain amount of incoming dps, be it through healing more or taking less so I can apply a damage reduction as healing increase as long as I don't apply it as damage reduction in the same calculation. Example: Incoming DPS = 160. Module Y Hellagur sustains this with his 197 HP/s, Module X Hellagur reduces it to 120 by only taking 75%, making his healing 112.5% of incoming damage, same as if he had 180 HP/s vs 160 DPS.]

So ultimately we're looking at 197 HP/s with Hellagur Y <30% HP 180 HP/s with Hellagur X <50% HP

Hellagur Y has +60 Def and an extra life Hellagur X has +350 HP and 25% Sanctuary

I don't know if Sanctuary is calculated before or after Defense and with its flat calculations it's kind of a pain to take into account for this. It does mean that Hellagur Y has improved physical EH. His defense goes from 334 to 394, which is pretty respectable. I don't want to go deeper into his Def stat for this.

I do want to go a little deeper into the Sancutary effect of Hellagur X though. I used it as a healing increase in the calculation, but as a fully positive EH improvement, it will also "increase the healing" from all sources, not just his own. He may be immune to Medics, but any kind of regeneration still hits him and is more effective due to Sanctuary. It's also active while he's not able to attack, such as when tanking ranged enemies, where his unboosted Talent 2 will also be active and more potent than the Y-boosted one thanks to Sanctuary.

In doing the math, I am now seeing Module Y in a slightly better light, since the raw healing is quite good. Sanctuary effects don't stack, so if you're used to using Abjurers, Module Y might be for you. Salter provides 24% Shelter for operators <30% HP and a rather potent regeneration effect for those <50% HP, meaning she would be a very strong partner for him when using Module Y, though she might accidentally keep him closer to 50%, reducing his DPS.

Not-Yet-Written-Fics Game

Thank you @erathene for tagging me, especially since I haven���t actually started posting anything but still have a bajillion ideas I want to talk about lmao

0. On Swift Wings – Has very much been started/written, but its where most the other ideas stem from so I’m listing it here, that way you’re less in the dark and more in low level lighting.

Rhosynel is a Messenger of Gondor, she and her Messenger bird Ilmara, are tasked with carrying a missive to a Ranger somewhere around Bree. What should be a simple trip there and back again, results in her becoming press-ganged into trailing after the Fellowship, something she is very much Against. Naturally she becomes far too attached to all of them and finds herself unwilling to leave any of them behind or let any of them die, and in a truly unsurprising turn of events, ends up becoming more than a little close with a certain Lord of Gondor.

A reluctant tenth walker Boromir lives fic which already has 50+ chapters written :’D

1. Falconer AU – Also has a lot written.

What if Rhosynel never became a Messenger? What if she took a different path in life? Rhosynel finds herself foisted into the role of falconer for the Kings new hunting birds and must rapidly find her feet despite her own doubts. Set a full year after the destruction of the Ring, this fic is entirely written for Certain Scenes™ and because I adore falconry and birds so wanted to write about that.

Also Boromir lives again. This one is less of a slow burn and more of a flash fire lmao

(was meant to be a thief au and failed spectacularly)

2. Rhosynel’s Backstory Plans – Next to nothing written, could be multiple fics

Follows Rhosynel’s path to becoming a Messenger: Her brief stint in the Southern Rangers before losing someone she loved, which prompted her subsequent career change to become a Messenger. Will absolutely include shenanigans from her Ranger years, various Messenger trips, including one to Mirkwood where she earns herself a messenger bird for her troubles. She nearly dies like, three times.

3. Arranged Marriage – vague idea

Set very shortly after the Ring is destroyed, the kingdoms are scrabbling to find their feet and stake their claims. In a bid to settle things amicably, a marriage is proposed between the daughter of a chieftain (who? where? why? all valid questions) and Captain Boromir (he lives again are you surprised yet?), neither of whom are impressed with this idea in the slightest. Possibly some political intrigue, maybe she was sent as a spy or assassin??, either way there’s culture clashes, disagreements, some pride and prejudice vibes, and whoops it started out with a kiss how did it end up like this.

(Was originally going to be an AU for Rhos again but honestly at this point I may as well just slap a different name on her and call it original lol)

4. Thorongil & Pirate Problems – vague idea

I was reading the wiki and found the sentence “Thorongil travelled to Umbar where he severely damaged the Corsairs fleet in a surprise attack” and my brain promptly decided this was a GREAT idea for a fic and that I should bookmark it for later. It would follow Aragorn and a small team travelling from Minas Tirith to Umbar, with possible detours to Dol Amroth for funsies. I haven’t got much plot beyond “go fight pirates” but I’ve written more with less info so it’ll be fiiine.

(Also potentially Aragorn x OC mischief wink wink)

5. Single word fic ideas

Mulan – Women aren’t permitted in the army, solution; be swift as a coursing river (possible one shot??)

Distractions – Boromir’s working too hard, Rhosynel has a plan to distract him, there’s a desk involved. (less like spice and more like filth)

Stables – Rhosynel backstory on meeting Faramir as a teen while she works as a stable hand, teaches him some Rohirrim and gets flustered.

Mead – People get drunk mischief happens. It’s all self-indulgent filth, I legit don’t know if I’d have the courage to write it.

Picnic – Ladies Day Out, they have a lovely picnic, ride their horses, and gossip about the men.

Missing – After the Rings destruction Boromir goes missing on a diplomatic trip, Rhosynel proceeds to go apeshit in finding him. She may or may not throw someone out a window.

Dark – Boromir takes the Ring and goes rogue, entirely @emilybeemartin’s fault for drawing Dark Boromir and now I’m feral

6. PLOT TWIST it’s a Narnia fic

Because Narnia was my first true fantasy story and I should enjoy myself.

You’re a regular modern girl who’s into home renovations to distract from your boring retail job. You find an old wardrobe at an estate sale, and repurpose its doors for your home. After a rough shift at work, you come home to kick your feet up and zone out to trashy tv, but there’s a problem. The house you’ve entered doesn’t seem to be yours. Promptly exiting it, you find yourself in the middle of a forest. What, the, fuck. That’s it, that’s all I’ve got.

No-pressure tags for @scyllas-revenge and @esta-elavaris because besides @erathene you are the only people I know who write fics lmao

Various Owl House characters reacting to getting cheesed [sh1tpost]

Based on oomf from my other blog :0

Mostly randomized characters, probably ooc but really, who cares? This is meant to be silly

Eda

Not gonna lie I feel like she'd see it coming and open her mouth as it comes flying. Eats it whole, almost doesn't flinch

Lilith

Yelps when she sees it coming, but her body doesn't react. Just takes it, it sticks to her face. She cringes at the smell of the fake cheese

Luz

Understands the meme, is a good sport about it,

"Cheesed to meet you too," as she grins

Amity

Similar to lilith but she manages to react; summons a bit of abomination good in an attempt to block it

Sternly tells you to never do it again

Gus

It slaps him right on the nose

"Oh cool! Human cheese!"

Tries eating it off his face as it slides down to his mouth.... immediately stops when the taste sinks in... heartbreak

Willow

😐

More confused than angry

Why?

Just peels it off and?? Awkwardly hands it back??

Hunter

Also confused, but like, angry confused

Doesn't get it at all nor does he appreciate the prank

Peels it off his face and just slaps it back at you

Red faced

Vee

So you know how cats kinda leave their heads and upper body backwards when they get cheesed while they're sitting?

They do that

Hope I explained that well

They fall over

King

Similar to eda; just eats it but hes not as agile as her so he just eats it off his skull

Hooty

Same thing as eda, but he'd much rather eat bugs

Principal Bump

????

??

Really REALLY confused; doesn't know if he should be angry or if he should laugh

Doesn't know its cheese.. doesnt smell like it

Confiscates it

Raine

What can I say? They've got a huge forehead

Beet red, just

Droops

Feeds the slice to eda

Darius

Do you have a d3ath wish?

Thats all I'm gonna say

He's had worse, I hc he tests his own potions and ingredients

One kraft single isn't going to break him

Don't do it again, though

Adrian

Audibly squeals and attempts to slap it out of the air

Verbally berates you for even thinking about throwing something so vile at him

Will complain about it for the rest of the week

Terra

AGAIN

Do you have a d3ath wish?

Have fun being plant food

Will fake being a good sport, is actually pissed

Belos

This man has never seen such a thing

This man will perish if he drinks a McDonalds sprite; I'm sure a kraft single will inflict similar damage

Collector

Really confused and thought it was one of his lil stars for a second

"??"

Do not the lil guy

On a good day he might giggle and return the favor, but on a bad day...

Kiki

Starts ranting and raving about how disrespectful you are

Stomps her feet and raises her voice

Has a little tantrum

Camila

You don't think Luz has already done this with her?

Yeah no, she immediately knows whats going on

Pats your head, but sets a clear boundary to not do it again.. or at least to not aim for faces

Alador

Stands there stunned for a few seconds

For a moment you think he broke him

He peels it off and just observes it

"🤨⁉️⁉️"

Dell

Genuine good sport

Laughs it off

Faust

You will be incinerated.

[kaengeru]

Phase 0.

And on she walked.

Which is a silly way to start, of course. But that was what she did. An unconscious-conscious choice... of a sort. The unintentional decision was in where (it always ended up being the same stretch of land even after so many years, she couldn't stop — not as much forest, never as many trees as she knew were there), but Enya didn't argue against the impulse. The ground giving way to her before snapping back into place as she passed through. That was definitely involuntary. The picturesque beauty of untouched nature around her was nothing more than a mild struggle to be overcome, another step, another step. The general silence broken by the rare plane buzzing low overhead. That would get her to stop and wait it out, head tilted for an expectation that never came. Those brief moments brought her back to herself and to the ever cascading thoughts she didn't want to deal with (hence, the walking).

Between the increasing number of meetings, travel, and reports with things to sign or whatever other reading junk (that, technically, she didn't read herself, but hearing someone read whatever legal docket at her out loud was nearly as bad), Enya was growing restless. Which was certainly not the right word. Something something the shortening fuse of a bomb, except whatever she could feel hot in her chest was definitely not the same relatable internet post or music lyrics that you slapped up in-between mind numbing scrolling. Rather, the sort that resulted in broken glass in hand, thrown objects clattering everywhere. Caused walls and foundations to crack. Which wasn't inherently a problem, the only issue came from the fact these happened without her conscious input. Disassociation while holding a gun. Even without the external criticism she knew it was bad, she wasn't fucking stupid.

There was some reprieve, sure. Her definitely too short visit to England brought her back to herself. God, how long ago was that now? It felt like a whole other age now, another person. The landing of a punch and the aches that followed. Being shot by Roka? Some sort of release, too. Any regrets tumbled out of her head like dice. What was it going to be? Let's let chance decide today.

But even after all of that, it wasn't like it was really anything that new. The math equation of stress constants and broken moments of freedom representing the variables - the expression when she played around with it seemed to work. But everything with Sarah, it... left her with a syntax error where it all should just be thrown in the trash and started from scratch. But she couldn't do that, that wasn't possible, she had her one shot and it was all-or-nothing and! God, if anything went wrong, it was all for nothing, it was pointless, maybe it was all her fault—

Her fingers knotted into her hair as she inhaled a sharp breath, before leaning forward into a lung-burning and earth-shattering scream.

But even such an action could never be completely quell the burn inside, not at least in this setting. In most, really. Her mind couldn't freely and totally let go without causing truly irreparable damage. Which only again brought the yearning for a time when she could that much, and even more - in turn fueling the blazing revulsion to her own desires in a way that brought bile to her throat.

Though that was likely a side-effect from the yelling, too.

Time - fuck - continued to move unheeded, unconcerned. The sun passed over, or the Earth moved, or whatever made things change, went on. That was to say, she didn't know how long her scream lasted, or the tremble that shook through her that wasn’t her. Stopitstopitstopitstopit—

Long has the plane left now. The sun has moved further still, shadows stretch out like fangs. Devour her. Please. But, finally, finally, she begins to unwind achingly slow. Her fingers unclench and her muscles ease away from the rock of tension she had become in her screaming fit. Unfortunately, it allowed an almost painful tremor to take hold of her body instead. She felt sick. Like the rest, like fucking time, it ebbs away and she finds the strength to bring herself back to her feet. She probably didn’t look as much of a mess than she felt, but it could of been close. Drool and snot and blood and, fucking, tears. Dizzy. Stupid.

Around her was the impression of an explosion. If only. The crash landing of a meteorite, caught in time, frozen in stone. Cliche. She huffed out a humorless laugh. Even in the growing twilight, she could see the unnatural peaks and craggy stone that had ripped out a sizeable number of trees. All pointing back to her. Her fault, her fault. There's a brief thought to fix it - can't cause problems! Shut up! Exist and clamp your mouth shut! - before she leans over and vomits.

Fuck it.

She needed more sleep.

With buffed intelligence, can the aphrodisiac zombies finally trick Min into falling for their trap?

smut warning

Min walks into an abandoned library she had found! It would be nice to get some books after all so she decided to get something!! Especially since she needs something to distract her from being in just her bra!!

As soon as she enters she can feel something odd in the air...but that may just be her mind being foggy from streaking for so long! She walks over to one of the shelves and looks around, the only book she can grab is one really high up!!

She begins reaching for it...big mistake... As soon as she reaches for it hands pop out from the other side of the book shelf and rip her bra off revealing her perky tits!! her hp is at 0!! She backs up immediately into the shelf behind her!! where a Zombie on the other side of the self slaps her ass!! But thankfully she manages to get away!! See Aphrodiasiac Zombies do 2 damage, buttt you can only be taken out of the game if you have 0 hp so Min has one last chance!! 1 Aphrodisiac Zombie remains....

Win/Loss Ratio: 2/8 Would I Main This Weapon?: NOT AFTER THAT MESS LMAO

Full Thoughts Below:

You know how the testing ground says Explosher is a 2 shot weapon? Yeah no, it's GUARANTEED 3-5 hits, even if your aim is good, due to the connection of this game, so plan for that very carefully

Your very existence is similar to a charger, in which newer players will be afraid to approach, but experienced players will target you RELENTLESSLY. It doesn't matter how good you're doing, YOU are the threat and they will stop at nothing to take you down

So be ready for a lot of pressure when using this weapon! You can control who gets close enough and how well your teammates move if you're on point, but mess up even once and it can be hard to come back from it.

Probably a weapon best played with friends! Random teammates let me down a LOT this run.

Advice I Would Give:

-Ink management is a MUST. Not only your own ink tank, but the turf around you! You have to control who can get close enough to attack, but also you can't run out of ink at the wrong time or you'll easily be taken down.

-Don't sleep on point sensors! If you can't win an engagement, then track 'em! It not only makes them nervous to come in (mostly), but your teammates can help you when they see them! (Granted they DO help you...)

-Quick Super Jump is a good idea for quick getaways, as you often don't have a lot of room to move with the slow inking. -Don't forget to ink (climbable) walls with this weapon, especially on maps like Flounder Heights! One good slap of ink is all it takes to give your team some climbin' room!

[ncat]

My group for 5e plays with modified dying rules and honestly I gotta recommend them

Right right so refresher yeah? You go to 0 hitpoints, and you stay at 0 hp until healed or dead. Any damage taken gives you a failed death save, and any damage that would send you to a negative amount equal to your Max hp insta kills you.

Our group on the other hand, has us not stop at 0hp and go into the negatives. So if you are at 10, and take 20 damage, you are now dying at -10

And from there, say you get hit for another 20, you not only get that failed death save, but are now at -30.

And, if you get healed, you become stabilised, but unless you're healed past 0, you're still at a negative number.

And I find this makes dying a good bit more dangerous.

First of all, it makes getting good healing important. Since, yeah sure you can get healed back into the fight, but if you're up and at em again at -30 and you've got a Max hp of 40, one bad hit and it's lights out. Yoyo healing isn't as effective and abusable

Two, it makes going down much more dangerous. Sure you could be doing good on your death saves, but just getting slapped in the crossfire of a fireball could kill you off even without sending you to 3 fails.

I like it. It makes dying for deadly :3

Okay, with that out of the way: Servant Quackity AU

So, as Kat said above, Quackity is in canon very much afraid of Dream’s retribution. This is not the case in this AU — not anymore — because Dream is now so injured and in need of care that he can’t even hold a spoon on his own. And with Tommy’s newfound support for the Dream Is A Person idea, he’s lost the main thing that he used to justify him being in pain. His self esteem doesn’t really take a hit from this — he never prided himself as a “good person” anyway — but it does mean that thing just got a hell of a lot more awkward. He can’t be satisfied by the sight of Dream struggling anymore, and over time this response diminishes until it’s barely there at all.

Dream’s reaction to Quackity doesn’t change a bit.

He’s terrified. He’s angry. He’s humiliated. He’s violated. He hates that everyone else just — fucking — up and abandoned him into the arms of the guy that tortured him for months. He isn’t responding to Quackity’s attempts to be nice, to be sociable, to get him to open up. Of course he isn’t. But he’s also extremely lonely, so when Quackity shapeshifts into someone else. Well. Dream doesn’t really have any choice but to lean into it. It’s an escapist fantasy: his friends are all right here with him, able to smile to his face and tease him gently and give him the kind of kindness he hasn’t really gotten from them in years. Sometimes he can even forget that it’s all an act.

Quackity often feels like he’s intruding on a conversation between Dream and other people. It’s a weird feeling, because he knows that he’s done things far more violating and intrusive, with blood and violence on top of that, and he did them all with a smile on his face. But now he’s helping him eat, bathe, sleep, use the bathroom. This sort of thing is quiet, and it’s gentle, and it’s somehow way more of a slap to the face than if Dream had managed to get some actual, physical revenge. At least then he’d be able to call it even. This just feels like he’s twisting the knife. He shouldn’t be here. But nobody else can be around Dream at the moment, either because they’re too messed up to treat him kindly (Sam) or too guilty to visit (Sapnap). And as much as he doesn’t want to do more damage than he already has, he wants to leave Dream alone and without any care at all even less. And the shapeshifting may offer Dream an escapist fantasy, but it also acts as a way for Quackity to feel less like he’s crossing every line in the book.

It works, eventually. The shapeshifting mask allows for Dream to slowly get used to Quackity’s presence, until he’s — well, not UNAFRAID, but less on the verge of a panic attack at the thought of being in the same room as him. And talking to him as him isn’t something he can stand for long, but he asks for him again the next day, and the next, until eventually — weeks down the line — there’s something oddly comfortable there. It’s still tense, but it doesn’t feel like a threat anymore.

link - gosh they explained everything so perfectly!! 😵‍💫 quackity and dream’s relationship was always so exciting to me coz they were just both so cautious of each other

but like you pointed out,, in this AU quackity would have lost his reason to fear dream,, and along with that, he would have lost his excuse to harm him…

(more below)

🦙🦙🦙…

he really did fall back on the excuse that “dream was a bad person and therefore deserved it” so damn much. like it was so easy for him to hide his motives behind dream’s past actions, coz everyone was just so obsessed with it. and i think as well as it being easy to hide his nastiness from everyone else, it was also easy to hide it from himself (we discussed this in the time travel au, like when quackity goes through that moment of realising that he possibly enjoyed the torture way more than he had initially realised)

i love that you’ve pointed out that in this AU he would feel like he’s intruding on dream anytime he sees dream being vulnerable. like despite being the one holding half of the conversation, he still feels as though he shouldn’t be there or be hearing the things that dream is saying. i feel like he’d end up feeling guilty when people do actually start to visit. like while he’s watching dream interact with them, especially if they start saying things that contradict the things that he had said while being morphed as them

and yes we’ve touched on how on edge he’d be feeling when dream actually does start addressing him as quackity, and not as someone else. i’m excited to see the plans you have for this AU, the relationship set up between dream and quackity is super interesting. and the potential competitions that could arise when dream does actually start recieving visitors is also super interesting eeee
