[zero-on-the-clocktower]

I’m no longer starving, so it’s time for five of my favorite Wayneradiotv/RTVS AI Dungeon stories. I’m limiting it to five, otherwise this will be way too long. Also, these are in no particular order and this isn’t a ranking.

1: The Orb

This is what got me into Wayne, thanks to @jesuscrab ‘s masterful edit of it. The AI popping off and generating such an enigmatic character who went around killing moving killers is one for the ages. Then it jumped the shark and became a space opera, and it was still hilarious! I can always watch this story and laugh at the many layers of nonsense in this one.

2: Sunday School

I love AI Dungeon stories with amazing NPCs, which will continue. This story has two, in Brown, the anime mentor janitor with a weird fixation on drugs and pineapples, and Jesus. Jesus forgetting everything and then going “I AM NINTENDO!” is an amazing moment that is stuck in my brain.

3: Fantasy Mall City

This episode is known for its ant story, which is indeed an amazing moment. However, I have a soft spot for the first story of the episode. The main reason for that is Bertram the Bounty, one of the best characterized NPCs AI Dungeon has come up with. I also think the mall city concept is unironically really cool. Also, Gloomy Joe and the killer clown and the ending are all great moments too, not to mention “STATUS INFINITE!”

4: Stoner Teens in Hell

This episode is endlessly rewatchable to me, partially because of Gooby, partially for this story. The time spent in hell with Satan was hilarious. Then there was lines like “mixed berry medley” and the croquet on the Empire State Building. Then, the Freemason discs and the Joker cemented this story in my mind as one of my favorites of all time. This one is a rollercoaster, and it’s so worth it. Log, Trog, and Holly also happen to be my top three favorite RTVS members, so that made this one even better.

5: Cooperative Law

This story is fucking amazing. The worldbuilding the AI came up with is wild, and as was said in the video, it has no idea how a court works. This one also had amazing NPCs, with the stacked prosecution team and especially Judge Fudge and Judge Tubbs. It has amazing quotes and so many unexpected moments, and is worth experiencing for yourself!

Sandlot fic. Part TWO

Benny POV

Man, that was a hell of a ride. Smalls now has the best baseball in town in his possession. I have to admit, I'm kind of disappointed that I couldn't have it, but Smalls needs it.

I had watched Smalls go inside with his stepdad, but I couldn't follow the conversation from there. I hope things turn out okay.

I think a lot about all of our different families. I have an admittedly helpful older sister, Ramona. Smalls is an only child. It must be nice and quiet.

I have it better than some of the guys. Squints has a brother who's a year older, but they're complete opposites and can't cooperate to save their lives. Yeah-Yeah is constantly scolded for not getting as good grades as his twin sister. Even so, I've always wanted a brother, someone I can be really close to.

I waited until it got dark before climbing out my window to visit Smalls. I knocked gently on his own bedroom window and he sleepily answered.

"Well, how'd it go?" I whispered eagerly.

"Not too bad, but I can't go to the sandlot for a week."

I frowned. "What're you gonna do instead?"

Scotty rubbed his eyes. "I don't have an erector set anymore, so I don't know. Probably just chores."

"I know!" I exclaimed, briefly forgetting I was supposed to be quiet. "Whoops. Sorry about that, haha. I know what to do. Tomorrow morning, I'll bring you a walkie talkie, and I'll keep you updated on our game throughout the day! How does that sound?"

Scotty's face lit up. "That sounds great!"

I smiled. "Alright, see you then!"

...

"Where's Smalls?

"He can't play no more. Only for the week, though. Until then we can talk to him with this walkie talkie."

"Aw, okay."

Things had been rough in the beginning, but Smalls had earned the respect from all of us, especially now that, partially thanks to him, we had unlimited baseballs to play with.

"Just about to head down to the sandlot, smalls. Over."

...

"Ham's calling his shot. Over the fence. There it goes. Going. Going. Go- uh oh. Looks like Hercules wants to play fetch!"

I laughed as I watched the scene unfold. "Hercules is running towards Ham at record speed! He may have been pickled, but he is still a hell of a beast! Oh! Out!"

"THAT DOESN'T COUNT!" Ham protested. "Hercules isn't a player! Hey-" Hercules shoved Ham to the ground and licked his face. Bertram grabbed the ball and dropped it on Ham's stomach. "Out!"

"Yeah-yeah, get outta here!'

"OH, NO!" Squints shouted. I knew that tone. I turned around, and sure enough, Phillips and the rest of the Tigers were lined up on their bikes.

"Guess who just arrived! Over." I said into the walkie talkie.

"Oh no, is Phillips back? Over."

"Yep, for some reason. Over."

"Where's your boyfriend, Rodriguez?" Phillips taunted.

"Can it, Phillips!" I shot back.

"Benny's more of a man than you are!" Ham defended. "He can run faster than you can bike!" Everyone else cheered in agreement. I just rolled my eyes. I'm pretty proud of myself for pickling the beast, but I try to stay humble.

"Here, Smalls, I'll relay the conversation. Phillips just said Ham eats food scraps from the garbage. Ham said Phillips got his name from his screwdriver-shaped head..." I released the button and heard Smalls laughing. I realized how ridiculous it must sound hearing it from me, and I chuckled along.

"Does he know you pickled the beast? Over." Smalls asked.

"I'm not sure. He might have been at the founders' day parade. Or the pool. Over."

"I bet he wouldn't mess with you if he saw how fast you ran. You nearly broke the sound barrier trying to escape Hercules. Like a jet. Over."

Smalls complimenting me like that made me feel really good. "Thanks. It's really whatever though. Over."

"Sure it is," Smalls paused. "Alright, my mom just called me for lunch. See you later Benny. Out."

I put the walkie talkie in my pocket and smiled.

End for now.

Fun fact: the fact that Squints has a brother is based on the fact that Chauncey Leopardi was notably very different from the character he played, listening to gangsta rap and wearing baggy jeans! He also has been selling Cannabis for 20 years lololololololol. Won't put that in the story though

[winterhelps]

hiii!!! i'm looking for someone who could play a half black/half white woman around the 20s... thank you.

Hey! This ask is here for a while, as I was in hiatus when you sent it, sorry about that. I don't usually answer fc suggestions after that much time bc I assume the person doesn't need the help anymore, but i'm gonna use this ask as a personal directory of biracial (half-white, half-black) fcs. Hope this helps you or anyone reading this!

[d-issent]

Oh yeah I ain’t touched on this before but uh.

It’s worth saying that the rebuild Smudger AU might just, become “dissent” in and of itself? The whole plot of “dissent” was a decent chunk of Sodor trying to locate Smudger and gradually coming to accept that those engines who showed any kind of dissent to the way things were run back in the day were met with cruel and unusual punishment. So the fact that Smudger’s punishment (the Generatoring™️, him losing his memories, him losing a chunk of his service life) still plagues him even when he’s rebuilt would be a direct result of him not being cooperative with the way the Mid Sodor was managed.

Same goes for any of the other unfortunate souls: Godred - supposedly cannibalised for his parts (and dw his situation is so, SO messy and I’ll explain it to y’all one day,) Bertram - former pumping engine, rebuilt yet still holds a terrible grudge, Proteus - blinded by faulty and careless manufacturing (and might also be cursed idk that’s up in the air.)

Iunno man it’s a whole thing. Henry could also absolutely be lumped in with these guys too due to the whole tunnel thing.

Dissent was really a tiny event (Smudger’s discovery) that sparked mass outrage on Sodor amongst its still patchy human population, centred around the treatment of the engines who pretty much kept the world running single-handedly back in the day when humans were scarce.

So I guess? I could just start referring to the rebuilt!smudger AU as just,,,, Dissent 🤷‍♀️

[soren-apologist]

ok so in the tags of my last post there were people apparently interested in my thoughts on a king soren au

i’ve mentioned some stuff about it earlier but here are a few more notes i had

so my idea was that ashnard initiates the war the same way as in fe9, but in this case elincia’s knights do actually manage to deliver her to gallia under caineghis’ asylum. the greil mercenaries are never formed because gawain came back to daein after some time in gallia over concern for the young prince soren, so elena is still alive and ike and mist are raised in daein, where they become close friends of soren’s and the former would eventually become his right hand man.

anyway as for elincia’s knights i’m personally thinking that oscar and titania would continue to be royal knights of crimea and would be among the ones escorting her to gallia, with boyd and rolf tagging along as well to stay with their brother. considering titania could effectively solo the entirety of daein’s troops in fe9’s early game getting elincia to gallia would probably be a lot more successful than it was in the canon timeline.

under ashnard soren serves as his reluctant tactician, though he’s privately against the war itself especially since he has ike and mist nearby who definitely detest the violence. he stands alongside one of the riders, gawain, to defend nevassa while ashnard and the rest of his riders (petrine, bryce, bertram) go on the offensive and fight against gallia and eventually the forces elincia rallies between gallia and begnion.

when elincia’s forces attack nevassa (so essentially chapter 21) instead of ena defending the castle it’s soren and gawain’s troops. it’s especially brutal since, well, it’s gawain and ike fighting under soren’s guidance, but midway through the battle elincia manages to sneak her way to the throne where soren is and essentially appeal to his sense of decency. ike immediately retreats from his position to protect soren, only to overhear the discussion and decide to agree with elincia, which is the tipping point for soren and he decides to defect from ashnard’s army and rally his own troops to stop ashnard’s mad campaign and end the fighting as soon as possible.

essentially, this means daein is split between king ashnard with his riders and prince soren with general gawain and captain ike. from there the plot would follow similarly to fe9’s, except begnion never occupied daein. in a similar fashion to fe9, ike is part of what allows gallia, begnion, and daein to cooperate with each other, and eventually ashnard is defeated in melior and elincia ascends to the crimean throne.

yeah this is just part of the setup i had in mind since this only explains what happened instead of fe9. i’d imagine that soren would be as pragmatic and cutthroat as the originals, but maybe a little more empathetic and compassionate because his upbringing wasn’t nearly as shitty. tbh ike would probably be just about the same as before lol

David Niven, Gary Cooper, and Claudette Colbert in Bluebeard's Eighth Wife (Ernst Lubitsch, 1938) Cast: Claudette Colbert, Gary Cooper, Edward Everett Horton, David Niven, Elizabeth Patterson, Herman Bing, Warren Hymer, Franklin Pangborn. Screenplay: Charles Brackett, Billy Wilder, based on a play by Alfred Savoir and its English adaptation by Charlton Andrews. Cinematography: Leo Tover. Art direction: Hans Dreier, Robert Usher. Film editing: William Shea. Music: Werner R. Heymann, Friedrich Hollaender Almost anything goes in screwball comedy, but why does Bluebeard's Eighth Wife feel just a tad off the mark? It has everything going for it: director, screenwriters, stars and supporting cast. But something seems to be missing. There are those who think Gary Cooper is miscast, but Cooper pulled off similar roles -- lovable eccentrics like Longfellow Deeds in Mr. Deeds Goes to Town (Frank Capra, 1936) and Bertram Potts in Ball of Fire (Howard Hawks, 1941) -- and director Ernst Lubitsch had established Cooper's gift for sophisticated comedy in Design for Living (1933). There is a certain lack of spark between Cooper and his costar, Claudette Colbert, but that's partly because their characters are not supposed to spark but rather flare. I think the fault lies mainly in the script, which springs Michael Brandon's many previous marriages on us as a surprise and never makes us feel that they're integral to his character. I suspect that the Production Code, which was administered with a heavy hand by Catholic laymen like Joseph I. Breen, blue-penciled so much of the humor surrounding Brandon's divorces that they no longer get the attention they deserve. Still, Cooper and Colbert et al. are fun to watch, and it may be that they are so much more fun to watch in other movies that Bluebeard's Eighth Wife simply suffers by comparison.

17 March 2024: King Abdullah II and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz discussed the dangerous developments in Gaza, with His Majesty stressing the need for the international community to push for an immediate and lasting ceasefire in the Strip.   At a meeting held in Aqaba, the King stressed the need to step up efforts to protect civilians in Gaza, and ensure the adequate and sustainable delivery of humanitarian aid through all possible means.   During the meeting attended by Crown Prince Hussein, His Majesty warned of the catastrophic humanitarian situation in Gaza, which demands action to prevent further deterioration.

In addition, the King highlighted the importance of maintaining support for UNRWA, adding that suspending funds will have dangerous consequences in Gaza, the West Bank, and Jordan.   His Majesty reaffirmed Jordan’s complete rejection of any attempts to displace the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza, which must both be part of the Palestinian state.   The King also warned of extremist settler violence against Palestinians in the West Bank, and violations of Islamic and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem.   The two sides warned of the danger of the Israeli attack on Rafah, which will exacerbate the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.   The meeting also covered the European Union’s efforts to reach peace, with His Majesty stressing the need for serious action to create a political horizon for just and comprehensive peace, on the basis of the two-state solution.   Moreover, the meeting addressed the deep-rooted relations between Jordan and Germany, especially close cooperation in technical and vocational training of Jordanian youth, as well as Germany’s ongoing support for development projects in the Kingdom.   Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi, Director of the Office of His Majesty Jafar Hassan, the German chancellor’s accompanying delegation, and German Ambassador to Jordan Bertram von Moltke attended the meeting.

Decode | Bertram & Eustace

Place: The Hopping Pot Date: December 18, 1986 Status: Open w/ @xechointhedarkx

Busy places made Eustace feel alive, and after a long day of work at St Mungo's he did deserve a good pint of butter beer. There was a bout of Vanishing sickness that was driving everyone crazy at the Magical Bugs floor and he had to bring his extra hands to cooperate with its contention.

All he wanted to do was to unwind, but not alone, so he made sure to call someone he knew was always up for food conversation, and probably, juicy gossip to keep him updated, that someone was Bertram, reporter extraordinaire. As he got into the pub, he scanned the place and found him sitting on a table by the window.

"I'm fashionably late, sorry about that. Vanishing sickness is no joke these days..."
