"Someday this war's gonna end." There's an ambiguity of intention in the way he states it—reassurance? disappointment?—with a sense that he has more to say. But after a moment, he turns and looks away.

I see notification that my bestie made a new repost and pinged me, and I proceed

Last Song: Honestly I kind of forgot the last song I listened today, but for yesterday it was the dan-lyricized version of Your Contract Has Expired from A Hat in Time by Man On The Internet

Favorite color: Purple!!

Last Film/Show: American Gangster (2007, Unrated Extended version) by Ridley Scott. It definitely ain't an epic akin to Once Upon A Time in America, but it was still a solid movie!

Relationship: Single and not looking!

Last Google Search: Mathiteia (Greeklish for 'Apprenticeship', searched it as I am doing an apprenticeship programme and wanted to access the platform they have).

can you explain the story of postal to me?

It varies on the game.

Postal 1 - The story is told through journal entries; Dude is getting evicted from his house and thinks there's a hate plague infecting the town (aptly called Paradise) he moved to. Chaos and destruction ensue.

Postal 2 - Different Dude; moved to a different version of Paradise with his wife known as The Bitch. Spends a week doing errands that range from picking up milk to getting Gary Coleman's autograph on his book to escaping a burning napalm factory. At the end of Friday a hate plague really does infect the town and the newspaper declares it's the apocalypse.

Postal 2: Apocalypse Weekend - Same dude from 2; wakes up Saturday in the hospital after an "unfortunate firearms accident" involving his head. His wife left him, Champ was taken by the pound, and his trailer was repo'd so his quest is to rescue Champ and get his trailer back. Along the way he has hallucinations involving Hell and Gary Coleman demons, and has to deal with things ranging from mad cow tourettes zombies to stealing a nuke from the local military base to the apocalypse...again. At the end he fights Mike J - an employee of RWS who turned into a kosher mad cow demon god and who summons flying Gary Coleman heads to act as a barrier. After that he and his dog drive away as the nuke he stole and set goes off.

Got a case of split time line next.

Postal 3 - Technically the same Dude from 2 but looks way different and has a different voice actor; ends up driving to Paradise's sister town of Catharsis where his car runs out of gas. Shenanigans involving Ron Jeremy, a rhino on meth...twice, and Randy Jones to name a few happen throughout. There's two paths - good path and insane path and three endings. The evil ending has Dude and his dog getting the chair and St. Peter sending them to hell. The neutral ending has Dude get married to Jen Walcott, win the lottery, and write a best selling book. The good ending has Dude become the US president after defeating Hugo Chávez and his invading army during the apocalypse in Catharsis; he sees a big red button and presses it, launching nukes.

Postal 2: Paradise Lost - Same Dude from 2; in this time line his car crashed right after escaping Paradise because his dog jumped out to chase after a wild animal. This left him in an 11-year coma and Postal 3 being retconned as a nightmare. When he finally comes to, he goes to find his dog. Paradise has been rebuilt and has four extreme weather zones due to nuclear fallout. A week of shenanigans ensue again ranging from find out his dog was mutated and sealed away in Hell to aiding a cult led by Gary Coleman against "the tall ones" to arguing with the Dude from Postal 3 (referred to in the game subtitles as "Alternate Dude") over who the dog belongs to while standing in Hell. Also the apocalypse happens again...again. Plus Zack Ward (Dude's actor from the movie) is in the game and ends up believing himself to be the real Dude.

Postal 4: No Regerts - Same Dude from 2 only in like his early 50s now; ends up with his trailer stolen so he walks to the city of Edensin in hopes of finding a job. Same deal - week of increasingly chaotic shenanigans, this time involving things like the Dude dressing in drag to flinging people over a wall into Mexico to waking up in a mountain cabin area with his dog missing and serious Postal 1 vibes going on. Also the apocalypse counter is now at 5.

Postal Redux - A remake of Postal 1, set in 2017 rather than 1997, while also hinting at it taking place after the first game instead of being a straight remake (mainly being that there is a skeleton in the cell Dude ends up in at the end - a skeleton that isn't there in the original game's ending). Technically has a second story through Co-Op mode where four other versions of Dude rampage and end up breaking Dude out of his cell. Then there's the mindfuck Rampage ending where Dude is standing triumphantly on a pyramid littered with several dead Dudes.

Postal Brain Damaged - Unspecified version of Dude falls asleep and has a dream in the form of a boomer shooter. A demon version of himself called Other Dude steals his tv and part of the game is spent chasing him down. There's also a giant mech controlled by Other Dude that serves as the final boss. Dude wakes up after pissing himself.

Postal Mobile - Old Java game; the Dude in this game is probably the most "normal" of the bunch. His car gets stolen and his house burned down in a GTA-esque world.

[loopdile]

✨ loopdile prompts ✨

for anyone who wants to make loopdile ^^ feel free to use these ideas, with or without credit, though i would love to see whatever you make!

scene ideas:

they're sitting outside in the sun together, odile's reading and loop's taking a nap

loop tries on some dumb shit at a thrift store and odile pretends she doesn't think it's funny

they go for a walk but they find. a kitten!!

they're up late/early cuz they can't sleep, odile is sipping tea, loop is drawing or carving or smth

loop threw a snowball at odile and now she's going to Get Them

sasasap!frin has a particularly bad loop and odile helps them out or calms them down or cheers them up somehow

odile figures out loop's identity and loop maybe freaks out but maybe it's nice being seen like that, too

odile charts out the stars on loop's skin

loop gets hurt and odile has to patch them up but it's kinda weird bc it's not the same as a human injury

odile gets hurt and loop has to patch her up, maybe they're panicking, maybe they're teasing her, maybe they're teasing her to stave off panic, there are many directions this could go

they run into each other at some point post-canon, having not seen each other since the king.

they sit on the beach and and talk about what loop remembers about the island (basically nothing). friendquest redux between two people who have heard about that convo but not actually participated in it?

during the loops odile visits for the favor tree for some reason and ends up chatting with loop

dynamics i enjoy:

odile helps loop figure out how their new inhuman body works, maybe just for fun, or maybe in order to craft it to be something they're more comfortable with. or maybe they have to accept that it's something they can't change, instead.

loop's funny drama + odile's deadpan humor = they can keep a bit going for days. possibly they get mean about it but that's just their love language it's probably fine. probably.

loop lashes out bc they're a self-destructive mess and odile doesn't feed into it but she doesn't put up with it either. and loop, who still feels guilty about their failures and the 2hats fight, feels safer knowing that odile is willing to do what it takes to protect the party, even from loop. and loop from themself.

odile doesn't care for romantic love and loop hates the thought of being in a mushy sweet relationship like isabeau+siffrin are, so they kinda just do their own aloof-yet-intense thing together

loop wanders between isafrin and odile like an outdoor cat with two homes

loop is really bizarre and an absolute mess and odile is so into it. like why tf did you do that. i need to take notes on your psychological profile and/or put you in a maze like a lab rat. maybe loop acts even weirder on purpose to throw her off (but tbh loop's not very good at that despite their best efforts).

AU ideas:

odile loops au

sci-fi au with alien loop

post-apocalypse?? wandering the wasteland…

meet cute at a community art class, odile is trying to get out of the house occasionally and loop picks up a new medium every semester to add to their weird abstract collage/sculptures

meet cute at the library… they both need the last book on [topic] right now and get kicked out for fighting over it so they both have to go to the other library but that means they’re taking the same bus route and end up talking about their very different reasons for wanting the book

meet cute they’re next to each other on an airplane and odile is freaked out by the turbulence so loop distracts her

coffee shop au but they work at rival coffee shops but they both secretly think the other is better so they clandestinely trade drinks in the alley during their smoke breaks

murder mystery au?? odile assigns herself the role of detective, obviously, someone’s gotta do it

meet cute one of them slips on ice and breaks something and the other has to bring them to the hospital

wait meet cute loop has an allergic reaction to pineapple and odile happens to carry an epipen <3

vampire au ^^ either direction is fun… canon-adjacent or urban fantasy… so many possibilities

secret research lab au where loop is being studied for morally ambiguous/corrupt reasons and odile rescues them

i could do this all day. au where they are apples on a beautiful apple tree together. ok that’s a joke but how about au where they meet at a pumpkin patch / petting zoo. odile is there with bonnie and nille bc nille doesn’t have a car so they needed a ride, loop likes to hang out with the baby animals, they meet bc loop helps odile get her shoe back from a goat. and then they share a warm apple cider… life is so beautiful

they meet at a parkour competition… odile has stopped competing herself and only coaches/teaches, and is probably about to retire from that too soon, but perhaps she’ll teach one last promising competitor…….

or they could be motorcycle street racers. or skateboarders. or figure skaters. or

rivals at the local farmers market. they both keep coincidentally buying the last of the thing that the other person wanted. nothing like a silent vendetta against a total stranger to make you wake up at 6am to be at the farmers market the moment they open. but maybe one day one of them is having a bad day and not getting their yummy treat is the last straw and the other feels bad and shares?

odile is a scientist working on AI, loop is a robot with programming based on siffrin's personality/memories, despite their best efforts no one actually expected loop to turn out so seemingly-sentient

odile's a marine biologist, loop's a mermaid

odile does piercings at a tattoo shop, loop works at the florist across the street is starting a tattoo apprenticeship

loop is a demon possessing siffrin and odile is a board-certified exorcist

loop is a secretary at odile's office job and they didn't really like each other, but they realized they both order food from the same place for lunch most days so they started ordering together to save on delivery fees, so they started eating together too, and oops now they're friends and they talk shit on all their coworkers and go out for drinks after work and such

odile is a noblewoman and loop is her servent. loop is a nobleperson and odile is their advisor??

loop finds themself in a public place with total amnesia and odile notices them freaking out and ends up helping themself out

they're roommates who found each other on craigslist but loop has really bad nightmares and odile's a bit of an insomniac so they keep ending up having 3am hangouts with lowered 3am inhibitions where they talk about their lives and maybe make out a little but shh what happens at 3am stays at 3am

green card marriage so loop is allowed to immigrate to ka bue

(not sure how to make loop be, well, loop, in a no-magic au? i usually make siffrin and loop headmates in a system. but you can also just keep magic around in a modern au if you want, the world is your oyster.)

(want to do a more-human post-canon loop? if you want to borrow mine, here they are! but @ people i'm commissioning, absolutely do feel free to use your own design/ideas.)

YOOOOO YOU'RE WATCHING APOCALYPSE NOW? THAT'S LITERALLY ONE OF MY FAVOURITE MOVIES, WHICH VERSION ARE YOU WATCHING?

i’m watching the theatrical cut because that’s what my library has, but if the redux is better i’ll definitely track that down too. it really effectively extends the work of conrad’s writing (both the good the bad and the ugly), it’s got all of coppola’s greatest strengths on display, and even his weaknesses work so well here i can understand why he indulges in them

[subliminalbo]

Genuinely so fascinated by every movie being at least 150 minutes long now. Like, for the last thirty years people have criticized Apocalypse Now Redux for being too long and poorly paced (both criticisms are true!) but now we're all just like, super cool with sitting in a theater for three hours if Iron Man dies at the end

[ashley-slashley]

Tagged by @hesawifebeaterdanusethegun, thank you!!!

I tag everyone since I'm too tired to actually tag anyone

I swear to God with that ghost x sole survivor crossover fic, you scratched an itch that I didn't even know I had, you've created an addiction for me now, I'm in love with that fic I need to download that fucking mod for f04 or I'm gonna go even more unhinged than I already am with how vicereally I NEED him

Haha I knoooow! On a whim I downloaded him as a mod because I really only use Hancock, Danse, or Nick as companions, and it's nice having a companion that can pack a punch and not go down so easily (at least in my save).

However he does say "Fuckin' hell!" a goddamn lot of you don't tell him to sit still before going into build-mode cause his ass can and will fuck around while you're doing stuff.

But the mods I use(d) are:

Modern Warfare SAS Companions - Ghost and Price (by: bohgger) They don't speak very much and aren't too terribly well-programmed, but they use actual voice lines from their respective games.

(I'm not sure if the mod is available as it's now gone and vanished from my mod list and searches; but if you're not on Xbox like me, I'm sure the PC has waaaay better mods there!)

His outfit was a mod called [XHX] MW19 Ghost Prison Outfit (it is by the author thefalllenking) but it may still show up on PC searches.

There's another outfit mod I may download called [XHX] MW19 Ghost Redux that comes with several other Ghost outfits! (Also by thefalllenking)

I may also consider downloading the Apocalypse Survival Set + Improved Textures (2k) (by LandoCummando) for a more "immersive" look in the future

Now, I also have the following mods for other NPCs (i love my Minutemen looking like actual soldiers and not homeless chem addicts toting around fatman launchers)

Unfortunately, like the first MW2 Ghost outfit mod, the PMC Operators Pack (I believe it is called, and I believe it is done by Overboss.Dragon, but I could be incorrect) is no longer appearing on Xbox searches or in my mod list but it may still be available on PC, like the previous one. It allows me to set custom faction patches for their gear! (Price is rocking the MM flag currently)

If you can't find that mod, there is also the BZW Captain Price mod (by DeepBlue93) for (one of) his outfit from MW. I just like the PMC Operators Pack because it gives me so many customization options.

For my Soul Survivor:

The BZW MW Domino Spy mod (by elfunstoppable)

I also use the NV Authority Glasses (by princesscake) but you can also just use the vanilla Patrolman Sunglasses found lying around

For her gun:

The Glock 19x Revamp (by: KingofWolves313) I recommend it since it's highly customizable!

Springfield XD Model 2 Subcompact Pistol (by: Urbanranger88)

[at-thestillpoint]

If Top Gun 3 is a go and Hangman and Phoenix return, how would you see their story going from the end of TGM into the new movie? (Obviously resulting in them ending up together after the battle of wills and 🌶️ 🔥 times)

I love how you write them and I’m wondering how you’d plan out the plot if you were in charge 🤩?

Oh my god, this ask! I'll preface this with a caveat that I don't think I could plot out a full Top Gun movie. I don't have the storytelling skill or creativity! But in terms of their relationship setup, there are so many directions this could go:

We could go with a continuation of the wild and unruly universe where they're together and there's all the angst of one or both of them potentially dying in this next impossible mission. Imagine: Banging for dear life. A redux of the Rooster being too slow argument, only this time Natasha is the one picking the fight, because Hangman is surprisingly laissez-faire about it all and she is terrified. They part with fear-fueled angry words right before the mission, which they're both obviously going on because "conflict of interest" does not exist in Maverick's vocabulary, and then in the inevitable dogfight, he tells her to break right, she breaks right, and he goes left right in front of a missile. (I'm 99% certain I stole this from @goddesspharo's apocalypse AU.) OR she tells him to break right, he breaks left, and she goes right, right into that missile. Something something they make it back alive and everyone lives happily ever after.

Or the post-TG:M friendship has fizzled out into something friendly but distant, so they haven't seen each other in a bit, but they're brought together to basically be Maverick and train a new group of baby aviators. It's exhausting, they're spending more time together than they ever have, and hey—he's not that bad! He's actually...sweet? And smart? And there's a realization of feelings, maybe a tentative kiss, right before they realize they have to go on the mission to make it work. So all of this potential is hanging in the balance while they have to go save the world. One of them goes down, the other does not, and it's angst city until Cyclone sends in search and rescue. The person on the boat demands to go, even though that's definitely against eleven different protocols. There's a desperate kiss in enemy territory before they're making like gangbusters out of there so they can go on a first date.

Or the Dagger Squadron is a standing squadron in the Navy, so we're dropped in medias res of their shenanigans, by which I mean banging each other in secret. They continue to keep it a secret during training, but then shit gets real during the mission, and did Hangman just crash land his plane after Phoenix and Bob were shot out of the sky??? This version of Top Gun might end up being more a wilderness survival movie than a planes go fast movie? Bob is confused and really wishes he had earplugs. They eventually find a commercial-ish plane with seats for a pilot and co-pilot that neither of them knows how to fly. Bob gets them in touch with someone who can walk them through it. They fight over who gets to be lead, make it home, make it official, etc.

This is a chaotic answer, and I am not sure any of it is what you were looking for, anon, but I had a lot of fun with this. Thank you for the ask! I now want to write all of these.

Here’s lore and world-building I’d like to put down for a possible reboot/rework/remake/retool/redux/rewrite of Cartoon Network Universe: FusionFall involving other series.

Lord Fuse has a connection to the Nothing from The Neverending Story, MultiVersus and Fortnite, as do the Void from The Amazing World of Gumball, the Darkness from Learning with Pibby: Apocalypse and the Entity from Dead by Daylight. In terms of both skill and power he’s at the same level as the Meta-Nanites from Generator Rex, Aku from Samurai Jack, the Omnitrix from Ben 10, the Collector and Archivists from The Owl House, the Magic from Star vs. the Forces of Evil, the Calamity Gems from Amphibia and Bill Cipher from Gravity Falls at their strongest. His powers here primarily revolve around non-elemental and non-radioactive sources with the added abilities of immortality and extreme regeneration.

Now here are battles I’m interested in seeing for multimedia crossovers:

Cube Queen & Herald (Fortnite) vs. Origin/Cube King (Fortnite)

Vilgax (Ben 10 Classic) vs. Megatron (Transformers: Animated)

Reindog (MultiVersus) vs. Strike (O.K. K.O.! Let’s Be Heroes!)

Shiba Sintaro & Simone (Cannon Spike) vs. Strike (O.K. K.O.! Let’s Be Heroes!)

Chizuru Urashima, Reiji Arisu, Xiaomu, Mii Koryuji & Kogoro Tenzai (Namco x Capcom & Project X Zone) vs. Strike (O.K. K.O.! Let’s Be Heroes!)

York Neely, Miko Aiba, Troy, Lazarus, Anesha, Raizen & Augustine (Cross Edge) vs. Strike (O.K. K.O.! Let’s Be Heroes!)

Ruby Heart, Amingo & SonSon III (Marvel vs. Capcom) vs. Strike (O.K. K.O.! Let’s Be Heroes!)

Sora, Riku, Kairi, Roxas, Namine, Xion, Terra, Ventus & Aqua (Kingdom Hearts) vs. Strike (O.K. K.O.! Let’s Be Heroes!)
