#but it *is* possible

[hunny-k]

Guys when I first took my hedgehog to the vet for his checkup the place was asking for his birthday. And I don't know his exact date of birth and couldn't ask the people I got him from because they'd just retired, so I checked the day I got him and went back how many weeks old I knew he was and picked a random date that week. So that was a long while ago and I just got an email from the vet saying happy birthday to my boy. I did not realize I had set it for today. It is also Sonic the Hedgehog's birthday today.

Anyway I completely coincidentally declared that my hedgehog was born on Sonic's birthday

Wild-ass 4 Minutes theory (that won't come true):

Great will get Tyme's heart (after he's shot), and the out-of-body experience Great is dealing with now is his chance to find out who killed Tyme and then deal with that when he wakes up from the transplantation.

Got to say, I love your works! Especially the recent 'It is mine to avenge'. It's honestly awesome.

When do you think Yo Han would start to track Ga On? Because he definitely would, but could you see him doing it during the show, or starting post-canon? Do you think it would be triggered by something like Ga On going off the radar for a bit or Yo Han taking the initiative before anything happens?

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you liked it! It's been a while since I stretched my action-writing muscles, it felt like, so it was a nice change of pace! ;)

As for when Yo Han started tracking Ga On, I'd say: As soon as possible. And I could definitely see him doing it during the drama. It could have started as a way to keep track of Ga On because Yo Han knew Ga On was a spy, but then they got closer and he just... never stopped. Because, at that point, it was more due to protectiveness than anything else.

Like, honestly. There's a scene in episode 3 where Yo Han comes back from his fight with the man who planted the bomb in his office and he hands over Ga On's phone. Or gives it back, rather, since, apparently, he's kept it hostage since the explosion? He even says that he's giving it back as a present since Ga On had behaved that day.

(How very Morally Grey Gothic Hero of you, Yo Han, kidnapping young, doe-eyed men to keep them locked away inside your hugeass mansion)

What's to say Yo Han wasn't tracking Ga On the entire time, since he apparently had unrestricted access to Ga On's phone for at least a whole day?

That's mere speculation, though. We're not really given any indication that Yo Han is tracking Ga On during the drama but, if you want to, it's easy to find arguments and opportunities ;)

But, either way, I think that Yo Han would start tracking Ga On before anything actually happens, as a safety measure. I mean, someone who's so keen on being at least two steps ahead of everyone else (not to mention extremely protective) wouldn't wait until after a threat has already showed up, would he? He'd want to secure an easy and reliable way to track Ga On long before that.

And as for how long it takes Ga On to figure out that Yo Han is tracking him — and how he reacts when he does? Well, those are clearly different questions entirely xD

We know Tatiana wouldn’t win a fight between her dad… but what if the entirety of NSR has her back.

“I know I’m weak. But I know I have people who have my back, unlike you!”

A sequence of megaartists attacking the asshole man (would they win against a time controlling man though?)

UGH! This is the third time I am writing this!

I don't know! I honestly don't know! I want to say no because Matvey's powers are incredibly over powered and unfair, however the NSRtists and B2J are also incredibly powerful in their own right!

The NSRtists/B2J are not used to working together though in fights so I can see them making mistakes that Matvey takes advantages of, but Matvey is also only one person who has to watch out for attacks from all angles.

My main issue with this fight is Matvey's time powers. He can literally pause the environment around him and the people in it (to a certain degree/range). So he could literally just pause like Mayday coming to hit him and he could easily knock her out or even kill her.

Matvey also has a sword (like Tatiana) but it is made of sheets of metal that he can fling towards people as a ranged attack (usually at people outside of his pause bubble, but if they are in the bubble then they are most likely dead or will be injured to the point of not being able to fight at all).

Though most NSRtists/B2J have some kind of ranged attack which will help them stay away from Matvey, he can still close the distance easily as he can be just as fast as Tatiana (Tatiana is faster though on average). So staying away is the key to defeating Matvey but it is also hard to actually stay away.

1010 would be a key in his defeat as well because they can use their shields to keep NSR/B2J if Matvey gets too close. However, they can't keep their shields up permanently and if Matvey pauses them before they can even get their shields up then that plan becomes useless.

Cyril, Anatoli, and Tatiana are not affected by the pause bubble (if they are they can fight it) but unlike Matvey who can make time affect other people, Cyril Anatoli and Tatiana can't affect others with their time. So hoping that the three could unpause NSR/B2J members is not an options (at least in the sense of changing people's own personal times).

Anatoli and Tatiana can fight Matvey together in a melee battle, but Cyril can't as he isn't a close range melee hitter. He would instead be someone who time jumps into pause bubbles to pull allies out of the bubble so they can continue attacking Matvey at range.

So like, if Matvey really wanted to, he could quickly take out weaker links in the fight and dwindle his attackers one-by-one. However, there is also a good possibility that he would lose.

This is also not even taking into account that Mama and DJSS can change size, making them impossible to pause but they would be slowed down. I don't even know how Eve's powers would affect him, as she could potentially share her power with Tatiana and allow Tatiana to project an image of Alyona to try and knock Matvey off balance (this is a dirty tactic but if this fight is life-and-death it is worth it, especially since Matvey would also be using dirty tactics like pausing people to get easy hits in).

Also Sayu and the Mermaids would probably be here, but I don't know how effective they would be because they aren't in their digital space (there is no way Matvey is going into the digital world like B2J did), and the Crew is not fighting Matvey head on (neither is Yinu). So maybe the Club are holograms hoping to mess with Matvey's visuals, or maybe they are in their robot form fighting somehow. But honestly I do not see the Sayu Crew/Club or Yinu being anywhere near this fight at all.

So yeah... It seems like overall Matvey would loose, but not without a fight. If push comes to shove, someone is going to be severely injured and it will probably be an NSRtists/B2J over Matvey.

i think we should remind musicians they can absolutely make up little stories for their songs btw. it doesn’t have to be about them at all. you can invent a guy and put him in situations to music. time honoured tradition in fact.

i accidentally napped and had a dream (nightmare?) where a new update for stardew valley released where everything was the same except on a random day in year 3 Evelyn would just straight up die. There was a whole cutscene that started in her house where she collapsed, and then transitioned over to the hospital where Harvey gave George and Alex the worst news of their lives. However, they got to speak to her where she said something along the lines of "Yoba will protect me, and I am sure he will let me watch over you."

Alex and George would not talk to the player for more than a few words for a full season after this event. George would spend most of his time in the bedroom, so if you had less than 2 hearts with him, you could barely ever speak to him.

And Alex... oh my god, poor Alex. If you were married to him during this event, he just stayed in bed all day. Otherwise, if single, he would just stand on the beach most of the time, staring off into the ocean. If you tried to interact with him, it would just say "Alex is grieving... Better leave him be."

There was also other NPC dialogue like mayor Lewis saying "I haven't seen the community in this state of mourning since your grandfather passed..."

there was also a glitch where you could make Evelyn live forever and there were entire guides for the "immortal Evelyn glitch" that got patched out in the next update. If you tried to perform the glitch after the patch, mr. Qi would tell you that "hey, it happens to all of us. We can't prevent it, and neither can you, no matter how hard you try."

I low-key love the fact that sci-fi has so conditioned us to expect to be hanging out with a bunch of cool space aliens, that legitimate, actual scientists keep proposing the most bizarre, three-blunts-into-the-rotation "theories" to explain the fact we're not.

Some of my favourites include:

Zoo Theory: What if there are loads of aliens out there, but they're not talking to us because of the Prime Directive from Star Trek? (Or because they're doing experiments on us???)

Dark Forest Theory: What if there are loads of aliens out there, but they all hate us and each other so they're all just waiting with a shotgun pointed at the door, ready to open fire on anything that moves?

Planetarium Theory: What if there's at least one alien with mastery over light and matter that's just making it seem to us that the universe is empty to us as, like, a joke?

Berserker Theory: What if there were loads of aliens, but one of them made infinite killer robots that murdered everyone and are coming for us next?!!

Like, the universe is at least 13,700,000,000 years old and 46,000,000,000 light years big. We have had the ability to transmit and receive signals for, what, 100 years, and our signals have so far travelled 200 light years?

The fact is biological life almost certainly has, does, or will develop elsewhere in the universe, and it's not impossible that a tiny amount of it has, does, or will develop in a way that we would understand as "intelligent". But, like, we're realistically never going to know because of the scale of the things involved.

So I'm proposing my own hypothesis. I call it the "Fool in a Field" hypothesis. It goes like this:

Humanity is a guy standing in the middle of a field at midnight. It's pitch black, he can't move, and he's been standing there for ages. He's just had the thought to swing his arms. He swings one of his arms, once, and does not hit another person. "Oh no!" He says. "Robots have killed them all!"

Turning off the reblogs on this. At the time I wrote it, it felt like what I needed to say. There's not as much activity on the post now, but when there is, I feel...sort of hollow. We're so far past the point where this even means anything.

Y'all remember "cops aren't supposed to kill guilty people, either", right?
