#but it's just at the end of a cave puzzle in the game

[jadeazora]

As an aside to Pokemon Altair, I do think Wallace and Steven have aspects to their characters that makes them fit into the villain role pretty well (even tho they're still good people and wouldn't be evil of their own volition.)

With Wallace, it's mostly the bombastic personality and stage presence, really always makes a villain more fun to watch and interesting when they've got that charismatic side to them.

Steven is genuinely a pretty nice guy, but does have a bit more of a merciless side to him that even Wallace notes. He'll do what he has to do in order to protect his interests. There's also that time in the anime where he showed up when Team Flare's plan was kicking off, presumably having headed to Lysandre Labs to put a stop to Lysandre himself, and had his Mega Metagross attack Mable and her Weavile directly (they barely avoided it and were sent flying in its wake), with its Meteor Mash blowing up the building behind her.

It's a shame that's where being an older hack comes in (it dates back to 2010), since while they were pretty creative with the changes they made and how they handled the storyline basically having the same plot progression as Emerald's in spite of it being a sequel, I feel they could've done a little more with them and Nemea, the evil Legendary that's responsible for their turn (it would be cool to see a more modernized remake with an enhanced story, but I don't think anyone would bother enough):

How One Piece Characters Drive

Character(s): Strawhats

Note: i was driving and i was like how would sanji drive and then i wrote this

Luffy

He doesn’t drive

Even if he DID have his license I feel like he still wouldn’t drive like he would actively refuse

He’d just bike around or hitch rides :P

Though when he does drive he NEVER fully stops at stop signs

Rolling stops are his middle name

Zoro

Took his drivers test 4 times before barely passing

ALWAYS has his gps on (he still gets lost)

ARGUES with the gps (...)

Will not hesitate to roll down his window and yell at another car

Incredible at parallel parking

Hangs his arm out the window when driving

Won't let Sanji in his car

Nami

The best driver of the group

Literally will find the weirdest shortcuts but they always get you to your destination at least 10 minutes early

Always ends up navigating better than the gps even if she isn't driving

Genuinely has the worst road rage ever she will scream her head off if someone even waits a second to go after the light turns green

Will pull over on the side of the road and make you get out if you yell loud enough

break checks EVERYONE

Usopp

Avoids highways at all cost

Always drives a little slow as a precaution

He's too scared to change lanes

Too scared to drive in general (passenger princess core)

But he does have the best playlists

Sanji

Has the STRONGEST air freshener ever

Tries to avoid left turns at all cost

Has an excessive amount of gum and mints

Does not allowed fast food in his car at all costs cause its so messy (he also always insists he can make you better and healthier food)

Has a little bag of change for parking meters

Will ONLY play jazz music

Won't let Zoro in his car

Chopper

Isn't old enough to drive so everyone else gives him rides (mostly Robin)

He has one of those fake baby steering wheels so he can pretend <3

Robin

Literally a soccer mom in a mom van (chopper's like her kid)

Has little toys and magazines to keep Luffy and Chopper from distracting her

Mom curses at other cars when with Chopper (like censored curse words)

Has those family stick figure stickers on the back of her car of all the strawhats

Franky

Will play old rock songs and sing along while driving

Has dice hanging from the rear view mirror

He also has every type of car decoration known to man

Has 10000000 car magnets

Named his car and will get mad if you don't address it by its name

If anyone dares to scratch or dent his car there will be hell to pay

Brook

This man is like 90 so he is NOT driving

Usually Franky or Robin would drive him around, or he would rely on public transportation

You will not need a radio when riding with him because he will sing for you

Always offers to pay for gas

Jinbei

Drives like a old man (he is one)

VERY very concerned about safety so he refuses to drive unless everyone has their seat belt on at all times

Bought Chopper a car seat

Like Robin he has little toys and puzzles scattered around the car to distract Luffy so he will be quiet on the drive

"Lets play the quiet game!"

Will cave in buying Mcdonalds if pressured enough (by Luffy)

“ are we there yet? ” ˙ ✩°˖🚏⋆｡˚꩜

✩‧₊˚ pairing — jungkook x f!reader (established relationship)

✩‧₊˚ warnings — fluff, lovey lovey dovey dovey, sm*t, exhibitionism, f*ngering, piv, essentially they get frisky in the forest hehehe, this is pretty vanilla tho<3

synopsis:: roadtrips with your boyfriend seem all fun and games at first, until you end up getting lost in the middle of nowhere with no signal !

words ⥂ 1.5k

the summer of august… balmy evenings, golden overcasts from sun rays, clammy humid air, and warm, lofty breezes at nightfall. ideal weather to spend a weekend away with your favorite person, escaping the depths of reality to reset + recharge. this was long overdue since both you and jungkook are always cooped up in work, the quality time you get to share nowadays has progressively dwindled. soon as jungkook found out you two had aligning free time he made plans almost instantly for a romantic getaway. he (said in his own words) found the perfect distraction to take your minds off everything and whisk all your problems away.

well at least that’s what he’s tried getting you to believe so far..

but you weren’t sold just yet— at the rate he’s driving and the stilled guise of confusion on his face, something seemed alarmingly off to you. you didn’t notice at first but once you recognized one of the landmarks previously seen half an hour ago, it doesn’t take much for you to put 2 and 2 together. he may or may not be totally lost right now and is trying to act completely unfazed. you hear him mutter a string of curses lightly under his breath, he seemed to be frustrated by something but not quite really sure what.

“hmm.. are we almost there yet koo?” you ask softly, resting your head against the window, eyes drearily fluttering. it concerns you when he doesn’t reply, instead he continues focusing on the road— this only puzzles you more since he was just talking your ears off moments before. “uhm, hellooo earth to jungkook? you can hear me right?” you reiterate, turning slightly to face his direction. he snaps out of his trance for only a second to vaguely address you. “yeah.” it’s unlike him to be this quiet with you, especially not when he was the one most excited about this trip, he’d send you daily reminders and even had a whole countdown for it. you had to get to the bottom of this immediately.

⟡ ⟡ ⟡

one thing about jungkook is he hates to admit when he’s wrong, especially in front of you. he ensured that he knew exactly where you guys were going and insisted on you not doing an ounce of driving, 4 hours wasn’t gonna kill him. “you’re my princess, and princesses belong in passenger seats only!” he’d argue in response to you wanting to help. he wasn’t budging on his stance either, every time you offered to take the wheel he’d strike a deafening glare. you sigh while watching him continue to struggle, his gaze darting back and forth from the road onto the gps of his phone. that’s when you see yet again another familiar sign up ahead, at this point he has no idea where he’s going. “babe, are we los-”

“don’t say that.” jungkook quickly cuts you off, “we’re not lost, i just- am having some technical difficulties with the directions is all!” it finally took him looping around in circles for a third time to get him to acknowledge his plight. “okay maybe a little bit…” you shake your head at his stubbornness, always thinking he can do everything on his own. “i think we should stop for a minute to recuperate.” you suggest, checking out the window to see nothing but endless nature and not a single other car in sight. neither of you had a single clue where you were. jungkook finally caves and pulls over, pandering his next move. an idea comes to mind for him instantly, “oh! i know who could help, i’ll call namjoon! he’ll know what to do in situations like this.” right…because calling your friends when you’re lost in the woods is the best solution at hand.

he attempts to call but is met with yet another disappointment. “fuck, i only have one bar..” you check your phone only to see you had no better luck. “my phone isn’t even picking up a signal around here..” this couldn’t get any worse— stranded in the middle of no man’s land and having zero capability to communicate with the outside world; technically, this was what jungkook was going for but not to this extreme extent. he huffs in frustration, “shit- well i guess we’re screwed now thanks to me.” “maybe if you’d let me help earlier none of this would’ve happened!” you impishly gloat, never letting him live down the fact he never listens. he flashes a pout along with the most dramatic eye roll, unwilling to give you any satisfaction of being in the right. “yeah yeah, whateva.”

an awkward silence passes by until jungkook speaks again, “soo like.. what’re we gonna do now…” “beats me,” you say nonchalantly, “should we go explore the woods?” the curious cat in you is need of a little adventure. “isn’t that a bit risky? you never know what’s out there!” he wasn’t too keen on your idea but you’d be able to get him to fold quickly. “ugh, you watch too many of those horror movies. we’ll be fine, just c‘mon!” you chirp, getting out the car and making a dash into the forest. “wait- slow down.. wait for me!!”

⟡ ⟡ ⟡

the view in front of you was breathtaking; effervescent greenery surrounding you, tranquil patters of the waterfall, absorbing in the pleasant atmosphere alongside your lover. though you were in quite the predicament, this moment put you decently at ease. “this is so beautiful.” you express in awe of the scenery. jungkook was also indeed starstruck by something, but it wasn’t the wispy terrain. “yeah it’s nice, but not half as beautiful as you are.” his soft hand cups the side of your face, tilting slightly to place a chaste peck. another hand travels to the hem of your sundress, drawing over your smooth skin to caress your inner thighs. his touch felt so relaxing, you almost forgot where you were for a second. “wha- what’re you doing-” a lush pair of lips connect with you again, cutting off your chatter.

you kissed for what seemed like hours, purring into him as he plays with the thin fabric of your lace underwear. his everlasting touch and lips felt like paradise, lustfully drunk off each other’s energies. your mind was so hazy to a point you didn’t fully register that your dress was pulled halfway up your torso. jungkook pulls away for a second, glancing over to scope the premises. “agh.. maybe we shouldn’t do it here..” he hesitantly chides, “what if there’s some weirdo lurking in the bushes or something?” this man is always so overly paranoid… “nothing’s gonna get us koo, pwomise. now shush and get back to kissing me.” you eagerly lean in, latching onto him once again. as your bodies intertwine you hiss at the feathered graze of his fingers on your clothed heat, languidly tracing the outline. you sense a sudden draft as jungkook slides your panties aside, lightly prodding your entrance while his thumb circles your clit, leaving you with tingling vibrations.

“mmphh~ fuck..” you moan softly. lifting your head to gaze up at your boyfriend, admiring the way he’s glowing from the sunlight illuminating above. soon as he saw your face he couldn’t resist in reaching up to kiss you once more, entering one of his inked digits into you slowly. the gasp you let out was a chance for him to invite his tongue, greedily wanting to taste every molecule of you. your body involuntarily rocks it’s hips against his hand, tangling your fingers through his thick, silky hair, wholly enchanted by him. a whine slips out from the absence of his fingers, clenching around nothing from feeling empty. “stop whinin’, m’gonna give you what you’re craving soon babydoll.” he assures sweetly, placing open mouthed kisses along your chin, neck, and down to your collarbone. right now you felt nothing but utter yearning, desiring every inch of him inside.

intense waves of pleasure hit you gracefully, muscles tensing as your needy cunt swallows his length, arching from the fluttering sensation that won’t leave your tummy. never in your lifetime did you expect to be doing this in a forest of all places. “jungkook…” you lasciviously whisper, securing your legs tighter around his waist while he jams his hips deeper, he feels so good you could cry. “i love you baby.” he coos midstroke, pressing his tattooed hand on your stomach. “love you too koo- fuuu…” eyes roll to the back of your head from his cock colliding with your sweet spot, feeling one step closer to coming. “t-think m’gonna cum s-soonn jungkookiie.” your high would approach any minute now. “me too babe, shit- your pussy feels unreal..” before you know it, flashes of white impairs your vision from the rippling effects of your orgasm— panting indefinitely. jungkook hastily pulls out, viciously stroking himself to spread his release on you. post-nut clarity hit the both of you hard asf, you never got up to fix your clothes so fast. your skin felt moist and sticky, you were totally in the mood for a nice hot shower. jungkook lets out a breathy chuckle from your stunned actions,,

“guess we can check this off our bucket list now??”

[ganondoodle]

was watching another totk video and through that found out what the reward is for completing koltins quests, honestly im not really surprised but also baffled and it really just shows, once again, that totk kinda does exactly what you shouldnt do in a sequel imo.. double down on all the bad stuff of the previous title

at this point i have talked about various problems in detail but i just keep realizing over and over just how much of the wrong lesson they seemed to take from botw, they recycled almost everything from botw by changing some paint or some words, made a giant game even bigger and filled it with boring and tedious busy work that has mediocre to insulting rewards EVEN MORE than botw

game too big and empty? make it TWICE as big, change barely anything about the map of the previous title and the new added map(s) is ONE biom that almost everywhere looks the same and even emptier with little to do

too many krogs? MAKE IT MORE and double down on the literally shit reward bc its the SAME just with one more stack of shit

too many shrines with short puzzles? ADD EVEN MORE and make them even shorter and easier to complete, alot of them not even involving a puzzle and multiple being an utterly out of place tutorial that could have been explained to you in a single text box

rewards in the overworld being mostly either a krog or a shrine which gets repetetive with shrines being ALOT and krogs being wayyy too many? add even MORE shrines and EVEN MORE krogs, but now add over a hundred of caves to it that all get repetetive after just a few of them and you only do them for a shrine or a currency you have to collect to get one cool looking but pretty bad to use armor set and a piece of cloth for your parasail that you can only use one of at the tiem and to switch have to go back to a specific NPC, theres ghost lights to collect which only serve to yet again buy one armor set from a set of NPCs and ar meaningless afterwards, the light roots dont require you to do anything but walk to them and the reward for finding them all is a "you did it" sticker that doesnt even stick (its useless)

weapons break too quickly? well make the weapons you can find even worse to force you to fuse a material to it so its at all usable BUT IT STILL BREAKS and when it does it breaks not JUST the weapon but ALSO a material, materials that you will need for now EVEN MORE EXPENSIVE armor upgrades too, weapons cannot be rewards anymore either bc they will always have to be fused with something to make them stronger bc none is strong on its own- this also applies to THE MASTERSWORD, something ALSO complained about that it still 'breaks' even after empowering it through the DLC in botw, and now it cant even BE empowered (bc no DLC) unless you fuse soemthing to it (to. the. MASTERSWORD.) EVEN THO EMPOWERIGN THE MASTERSWORD IS THE ENTIRE POINT OF ZELDAS ULTIMATELY MEANING- AND CONSEQUENCELESS SACRIFICE !!

the dungeons were to samey and simple? make them look different but keep the core structure (activate terminals in completely seperate from each other "puzzles", fight boss) while also makign them be even more skippable (climable walls, the ceiling jump ability- something the titans DIDNT have) with incredibly easy bossfights that end with an embarassing copy and paste scene that hits you over the head with long known and obvious information over and over

people didnt like how the story was so detached from everything in the present? well, make the story and the present EVEN MORE detached from anything in the present, so far in fact that there is literally no connection to it aside from zelda who is the only connective thread and is also only treated as such (she is as personality lacking as sonia as soon as shes yoinked into the past) and the suddendly and out of nowhere intruduced architecture and history that wasnt a thing in botw but is treated like it was always there

people didnt like how far botw was detached from all other zelda games? ok totk is not only FURTHER detached from those it also completely detached itself from its on predecessor :)

people didnt like the memory system? ok make it WORSE then, its a linear story now that you can ruin by seeing even one out of order, they are super short and dont give you anymore context to anythign than the things you could figure out yourself or were already told really, instead of giving you views into a characters personality you get to view a basic plot summary of a story that is so flavorless and predictable i knew what would happen from the start yet acts like its being vague and cool that i felt like i was beign treated like a literal toddler

too few enemy types? well, we will reuse the old ones EVEN MORE thant before over twice the map and the new ones that are there are either utterlly irrelevant to change up the gameplay or largely feel like the old ones just with a paint job (constructs), the griocks looked cool at first but are just a more annyoing version of the lynels (who feel like an actual duel, akin to a proper boss)

even the things that were adressed, or attempted to, didnt fully work, like the bosses ARE more unique, but also still so incredibly easy and ALSO have multiple duplicats just sitting around in the underground despite them being supposedly the root of the problems of the regions (i like refighting bosses, but id rather have a character that lets me choose ok i wann fight this one again and teleporte me into a vision or sth- also the most fun fights arent even part of it (koga) )

the rain complaint got a new effect type to counteract it, which ... doesnt work well, you need specific materials to make potions with that effect which you also need to upgrade the only armor set wit hthat effect that ONLY works once you upgrade it (i think ... i dont know how high i got it but if even the full upgraded set doesnt negate the rain effect i will not be surprised either lol) also it adds just yet another effect type that spams your inventory and you dont really need .... or i might be the only one that saw no value at all in the "attack up when hot" new type of effects bc it felt so specific and situational while also having a way better option (just make it a standard attack up thing?) at least in my eyes-

... ill stop here .... this got longer again didnt it O-o

Mc spends time with the Dateables

Diavolo:

he was allowed to keep you for the weekend, he would have liked to keep you forever but it´s a start

and it was a pretty nice experience to have another person besides Barbatos in the castle and the Little D´s of course

Little D. Nr2 was especially happy to see you, he even insisted to stay with you the entire time! honestly it was pretty cute to witness…

until Little D. Nr2 went to far and refused to let you go

then it went from being cute to if it doesn´t unhand you at once there will be one less Little D. in the Castle

but now he can spend the entire time cuddling with you… even if you are a bit upset about him scaring away all of the Little D´s

Barbatos:

you asked him or rather bothered him until he allowed you to help him out with his chores and to his surprise you did relatively well

at least he wasn´t forced to kick you out of the castle for messing everything up and yes he would have actually kicked you out guess you got lucky that it didn´t happen

for doing a good job your allowed to stay for the rest of the day, also he might have seen a Rat two days ago and needs someone to help him get it out of the Castle grounds

but if you do a good job he will do whatever you want for an entire day

a very fair price in exchange for some peace of mind in his opinion

Solomon:

he was really happy when you told him you wanted to spend the day with him

the only problem was he has to start a dangerous and deadly journey to gather some potion ingredients but your free to join

if not you can always come back tomorrow and he will even cook for you :)

he´s surprised you would agree to go with him but it might be fun with a second person and if he get´s stuck somewhere he has someone who might help him

but he did find some cool things while falling down holes and landing in a never ending cave complex

maybe he can even find a new one with you, that could be a fun thing to do together

but you should pack enough things for a week because it´s really easy to get lost even with Magic

Simeon:

he invited you over to Purgatory Hall to play some games with him and Luke

and now he regrets it because he and Luke were doing a rather difficult puzzle and now your sitting in the corner and pouting because you can´t even find one matching puzzle piece

Simeon decided it might be smarter to just do something else and he decided that you can help Luke making some new sweets

Luke does need some help with understanding some of the Devildom ingredients and you seem to know how to handle them rather well

and it will stop you from trying to wander around Purgatory Hall

he has no idea how you do it but you always end up scaring the other students

Bad Liar pt.4

note: after this we’re starting a best friend series and if you don’t suggest a name i will be sad🥺

————

summary: you are in a long time situationship with pedri and you’re falling more and more everyday hoping he feels the same

pairing: Pedri Gonzalez x Y/N

genre: angst/ fluff

————

You spent your night after Pedri left crying. You couldn’t even fathom how this night turned out and felt angry all over again. You felt angry at Mateo for being out of his mind drunk, you felt angry at Pedri for breaking into your apartment making you think he was finally going to say the words you long to hear but most of all you were angry at yourself because you knew if he said those three words you would’ve caved immediately.

Your love for him never ended and combined with your anger, it was like the invisible string tying you together was strengthening every day. You also hated seeing him in this state, but there wasn’t anything you could do. You asked him, begged him to tell you he loved you and all would be alright you would’ve healed him shower him with love but he couldn’t. He was an immature person who didn’t know what he wanted. Your pity party was cut short when you heard knocks on your door, it was around 3 in the morning and you couldn’t think of anyone stopping by at this hour.

You slowly made your way to the door and opened it, revealing a distraught Gavi standing. You tried shutting the door to his face but he prevented you from it by putting his feet inside.

“What do you want?” you bluntly asked. Even though it was natural for him to send your story to Pedri, you were still mad.

“Look Y/N I know you’re upset but I need to talk to you.”

You said nothing but opened the door so he could come in.

“First of all, I’m sorry I ruined your night, I didn’t know he would try to come here I just” he sighed “He’s my best friend and I felt like he needed to know.”

You both sat down on the couch facing each other. When you didn’t say a thing, he continued.

“And you have every reason to kick me out and yell but I need you to understand what this is doing to him.”

“To him? Are you serious right now? I’m shattered beyond repair and you wanted me to pity him?” you asked getting angry.

“No that’s not what I meant”

“He lied to me, manipulated me and used me for months and you all knew! Do you know what I felt when I saw his girlfriend’s story Pablo? Do you know how I felt when I asked him to tell me he loves me and he couldn’t? Do you know if even after everything I would’ve ran back to him?” you listed things Pedri did to hurt you and the list was many pages long.

“I know I know I’m sorry for not telling you but also, you know it was hard for him.”

Your expression was puzzled so he continued.

“To tell someone he loves them. You’re the first person he’s ever fallen for.”

Your mind went blank and Pablo could see it.

“What do you mean?”

“You know he’s never fallen in love before you.” he said but soon realized he fucked up. “I mean, you knew that didn’t you he told me he was going to tell you today.”

“Pablo I don’t have time if you’re trying to play games with me.” you said.

“Y/N he was going to tell you tonight and he was so nervous that he drank so much, just to get the courage. But he told you, please tell me he told you.” he pleaded but you thought back to your encounter tonight. Maybe he was trying to get the words out loud and you cut him off kicking him out.

Your breathing got heavy and your heart broke again. He was really in love with you and came to your apartment to tell you.

“Pablo, you’re not messing with me right? Because I can’t afford to get my heart broken again.”

“Y/N I’m telling you I’ve never seen him like this, I know he’s not easy to be around sometimes and I know what he did was fucked up but” he stopped and scratched the back of his neck. “He’s madly in love with you. He ended his relationship as soon as he realized but didn’t know if you’d take him back, that’s why he didn’t reach out to tell you but tonight when he saw that you were with someone else, he freaked out saying you needed to know before you make a decision.”

“I need to talk to him, I need to talk to him now.” you said getting up, you needed to sort this out tonight and after that, you’re moving on, with or without Pedri.

“You’re in luck.” Pablo said as you tried to find your wallet and keys scattered around the house.

“He’s in my car downstairs. He called me saying you didn’t want to see him but would wait until you talk to him so I came here to pick him up before anyone sees his state. I thought you rejected him.”

You quickly mumbled a ‘stay here’ to Pablo and went downstairs, just as he said Pedri was in the passenger seat of Pablo’s car barely awake with his head on the window. He looked like he didn’t even know where he was. You slowly opened the driver’s side door and sat in the car. He didn’t move thinking it’s Pablo but soon your hand reached over to his chin making his head turn your way. His eyes opened immediately as light returned to them.

“Y/N” he said and held your hand on his face, not letting you go. He placed feather light kisses on your knuckles and looked at your eyes intensely.

“Pedri, I…”

“No, you said everything you could it’s my turn. I never realized what love actually meant and honestly I thought it was some bullshit. Even though my heart skipped a beat every time you smiled, I always shrugged it off thinking this couldn’t be love as I was too stubborn to admit it. Seeing you walk away from me broke me but I still wouldn’t see it, I thought I was just feeling bad because I hurt you. No, I was heartbroken because I lost my only chance of love. I- I- I actually have a long speech on my notes app, I wrote everything down just so I could tell you everything I felt but this is all new to me and I panicked thinking I lost you.” he said his eyes never leaving yours and you had a big smile on your lips listening him blabber on.

“I know you probably hate me right now.” his face fell.

“But I need you to know, I love you. I love you so much Y/N and I promise to respect whatever your response…” you cut him off with a kiss reaching over the console. He immediately shut up and kissed you back. Pedri occasionally pulled back and whispered ‘i love you’s to you as you kept kissing him.

This was the moment you’ve been waiting for, he was confessing his love to you and you couldn’t be happier. Even after everything he’s done, you didn’t even think twice before running to him because that’s what love is, it has ups and downs it is unpredictable but it finds a way. Pedri smiled at you and you found peace. You were pulled apart by a voice coming from the outside.

“Please don’t have make up sex in my car” you turned around and saw Pablo grinning like a child and you laughed, Pedri joining.

“So I assume you’re okay now.” he said leaning on the window.

“I am” Pedri replied “I am now.”

note: they’re back together yayyyy i hope you enjoyed it and i think this is where their story ends please feel free to leave any comment 💖

Nick tries to explain what trees are to DiMA

+ DiMA's drawing he made after that conversation (Nick's not too good at explaining things...)

Okay now for my silly little headcanons I need to write down before I explode

DiMA has blue eyes so the scientists can differentiate him from the rest of the synths!

I picked blue specifically because his entire Acadia room is blue with all the computers and such, which is a nice contrast to Nick's warm color scheme.

They were both tests to see how personalities would work on gen 2's - Nick being a preset personality and DiMA being left to his own devices to "naturally create" a personality of his own.

A small detail in Detroit: Become Human is that at the beginning of the game ("Waiting for Hank...") Connor sits very stiffly on his chair, but by the end of the game ("Last Chance Connor") he sits casually and a lot more naturally on the table instead

That's how I imagine DiMA to be - very stiff and awkward at first, but starts to mimic those around him (especially Nick) as time goes on

After enough time he starts to pick up on basically everything Nick does. Sighing, drumming his fingers on the table, even his accent!

He was practically a child without the whole "underdeveloped brain" part

So basically an information sponge who asks "why?" every three seconds

Nick found it annoying sometimes, but DiMA was the only person he could talk to so he always caved eventually.

Plus, trying to explain everyday things to him helped keep his mind off their situation.

Like, imagine having to explain to someone what the color purple looks like. Or what a dog looks like when they've never seen any animal except for humans before!

Nick was actually very cold to him at first, and continued to be every time he got his memories wiped and reset, but he would inevitably warm back up to DiMA every time

(except for the few times where he got his memories wiped several times a day, or even several times an hour... which was extremely stressful for both of them)

That being said, Nick's memory wipes were always a traumatic situation for him, and he'd have to re-learn who and where he was every single time

Through trial and error DiMA started to figure out the right way to comfort him and bring him down from any violent outbursts or panic attacks he had

Trying to escape the Institute was almost like a timeloop puzzle in the sense that DiMA had to re-explain everything to Nick and just hope they had enough time to figure something out before Nick got taken away and reset again

On a lighter note, DiMA loves drawing and would try and draw whatever Nick tells him about in the dust on the floor or on the wall - nothing could stop this man from creating art!

He also writes in nearly perfect font because he has perfect hand-eye coordination (and copied the font from the papers the scientists print off)

ALSO tiny detail, he drew his eyes yellow like Nick's because he had never seen his own eyes at that point, and assumed he looked the same as Nick <3

Okay that's enough for now I think!! Hope you enjoyed it!!

BRUISES ON MY KNEES FOR YOU {L.M.H} {A}{F}

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧ ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* *:･ﾟ✧*

Lee know was an ass every now and then , you knew that, he knew it too that’s why it didn’t surprise you when he emerged from your shared bedroom, frown already visible on his face as he complained about you not taking out the trash , usually you would have just caved lugging yourself out of the house to complete the task however today was an exception .You tilted your head towards the window revealing the gloomy skies accompanied by the heavy downpour that was now surrounding your apartment .lee know said nothing, matter of fact he said nothing for so long that it lead you to get off the couch to join him to see what he was looking at ,to your dismay perfectly lined up next to the balcony railing was three litter boxes for your cats which were now completely filled with water soaking the last bit of the pack of litter completely causing it to clump up becoming unusable .Lee know grumbled “all three boxes y/n” he said evidently upset his eyes fixated on the boxes in the rain “I’m sorry I didn’t know they were out ..-“ you began “I’ll clean them up and go get another bag-“ lee know cut you off waving your thoughts away with his hand “don’t bother . I’ll do it .” he spoke bitterly.

You watched lee know empty and clean out the boxes , an umbrella in his hand to shield him from the rain that ultimately got blown upside down leaving him to fight the elements of nature without it . You sighed . He was upset . More than usual so much so that you could see the way his eyes narrowed at every small inconvenience and how he pursed his lips curses threatening to spill .It was Thursday and amongst your friend group Thursday meant game night , however it was also the night lee know would cook something new and rave about it while your friends tried it giving feedback .so without consulting the hothead outside who looked as if he would commit a murder if someone dared to speak to him you took it upon yourself to prepare the meal .

You’re not an incapable cook.. you’re pretty decent if you try it’s just you were used to cooking for small numbers of people , so when you heard lee know had seven grown men as friends you gladly handed in the towel and let him do the cooking ,which explains your rustiness now, which you realize as you pick up the knife expertly slicing the tip of your finger in an attempt to opening some packaging or when you burn the side of your arm rearranging the pots on the stove to cook faster or when you slip up and drop the grater on the floor effectively having it land on your toe causing you to yelp out in pain , or when you scratched the side of your face on one of the sharp ends of the counter while you reached down to retrieve something nevertheless it got done. You prepared the meal throwing your entire heart into it along with some tears for food measure confident it would taste good .

The day passed by pretty quickly , leeknow didn’t bother to speak to you , ignoring you as much as possible uttering a few words here and there and leaving remarks about your antics in the kitchen , currently you were seated on the edge of your bed deciding what to wear when a very stoic leeknow entered the room and grabbing his coat. “ you’re going somewhere?” You asked now standing trailing behind him , lee know remained silent ignoring your tugs against his arm “ store .” He said you looked at him puzzled -“ what are you going to get ?” You asked “ I’m going to get what YOU forgot to …the drinks ..god yn you have one simple task , just one fucking thing to do and you can’t even get it done , it’s actually funny “ he said before slipping out of the apartment door and into the cold leaving you standing in the middle of your apartment.

The evening went well so far aside fromleeknows outburst earlier things seemed okay. Lee know came back from the store , heated the food that you made and you answered the door when his friends came over “it’s so good to see you yn…here I got you these “ jisung handed you a bouquet of Lilly’s “they’re lovely I’ll put them in some water “ you said going to the kitchen and looking in the cupboards for a vase .” Top left “ lee know said from his spot on the couch , “the vases are in the top left cupboard, you’ve been living here for so long and you don’t even know where we keep things can you not even be othered to remember the simplest of things ...or is that my job too?” he rolled his eyes earning a few odd looks from his friends who could now sense the tension . Taking your place on the couch you were met with a few pitiful looks as the boys watched lee know ignore you , it went on for a while you’d talk to him he’d ignore you and his friends would look at you occasionally answering the questions you asked him ,eventually lee know had enough and decided it was time to eat getting up to set the table .

Standing up to help him he turned to you eyes glaring at your figure carefully moving around the boys to get to him” I don’t want your help” he started” you’ve done enough already” he said turning his back leaving you stunned “are you guys..okay? “ Felix asked pulling you into the seat next to him “doesn’t seem like it “ Jeongin answered “ you’re all acting as if Lee know isn’t a complete ass “ seungmin chimmed in earning a side look from Chan to watch his words , you didn’t reply , you didn’t really have much to say , where would you even start?

Lee knows been in a foul mood for the past few weeks and it probably was your fault , a week ago he asked you to wash a pair of his pants for practice ,which you forgot to do because you had work that day or when he asked you to clean out a cupboard because he didn’t have time to and you cleaned out the wrong one making him upset that he had to do it himself and fix the other or when you burnt his shirt trying to iron it for him when he clearly didn’t ask you to , there was too many things that went wrong over the last week that it was impossible to believe that he wasn’t upset because of you, sure you could chalk everything down to mistakes and bad luck ,saying you didn't mean any of it intentionally ,which you didn't it was still inevitable for you to not feel like absolute garbage in his presence .

Siting at the dinner table the boys looked at the meal you prepared , cheer and compliments were met with “wow”s that echoed around your apartment you really hoped it tasted good it was your last attempt to calm down whatever lee know was going through . You ran your spoon through the rice collecting enough and bringing it to your mouth - you froze looking around the table to be met with similar gazes cautiously looking between you and lee know ..it was salty ..too salty so salty that it dried out your throat and left your lips pursed , lee know oblivious to the situation that you and the boys communicated about through eye contact launches a spoonful of rice into his mouth dropping his spoon to the table looking up at you ,he proceeded to taste the other dishes a look of disgust on his face “ lee know I-“ you finally spoke “ everything’s salty yn “ he said his voice filled with malice “ why did you offer to do something you know you clearly can’t do , are you that stupid huh? Could you not just let me do it and maybe just maybe it would have been stomache-able.. rather than having whatever the fuck this sorry shit is “ he said shoving his bowl away from him standing up and walking away from the table “ don’t try to do things you know you’re can’t . You’re just making yourself seem pathetic” lee know said grabbing his coat and slipping out of the apartment closing the door harshly behind him ,leaving a very stunned group of friends and a heartbroken you to deal with the mess

you sat staring down at your lap your heartfelt heavy ,why was he acting this way it wasnt like him “ sorry tonight was a bit of a mess “ you apologized to the boys standing up “ let your selves out yea ? “ you said smiling curtly while furiously blinking to keep the tears at bay . Hours had passed or what felt like hours you were sat in the corner of Your shared bedroom , silence filled the apartment it had been a while since the boys left you knew that because changbin announced to you that they were leaving claming to have cleaned up and done the dishes and put the food away before . It was nice of them really it was but there was no real point in putting the food away because you would just have to throw everything out and try to salvage whatever was left of your heart in the process . Emerging from the darkness of your room you looked at the clock it was past the cats feeding time , pulling out there bowls and opening a can of food you shared it amongst the three watching as they lapped away happily unaware of the situation between their owners

Lee know walked in to the apartment , it was cold the usual warmth that radiated from it seemed to not be present , he could only hear the sound of the shower running in the back , he looked around noticing that everything was cleaned and packed away and that the cats were fed too , it wasn’t strange he just expected you not to do it especially after how he acted . The water from the shower that was once hot now cold ran down your body coating you completely in the icy liquid , you wanted to move really you did but your legs that you were sat on now felt numb , your body too cold to move and your heart too heavy to deal with , you looked around the bathroom it felt so secure , so safe , untouched from whatever was going on beyond that door . You looked down at your arms the burns and bruises you got today were a perfect match to the bright purple ones forming on your knees from sitting on them too long . You body shook violently from the cold as you placed a T-shirt over yourself your wet hair leaking water onto it soaking it causing it to cling to your body , you walked into the bedroom sitting on the edge of the bed . Your hands were shaking and your fingers felt numb a light blue tint now visible, lee know popped his head in through the side of the door taking in your appearance . His heart falling to bits as he watched your dazed gaze and shivering form. He knew what he said was uncalled for . He knew you were trying and that you didn’t mean to forget to do things sometimes , he forgot to do things all the time you knew he did but you never told him off for it.

He walked closer to the bed pulling out the hairdryer before looking down at you . You barely moved in his presence as he connected the hairdryer blowing the warm air on you gently running his fingers through your hair . You looked up at him and his eyes met yours , his gaze was soft , his eyes that were once dark had a watery sheen to them as he cupped your cheek . “I’m sorry “ he said kneeling down now taking your hands in his running his finger tips over the cuts and bruises , eyes trailing down to the ones on your knees “ I’m sorry “ he repeated head now falling into your lap and you stared down at him

Pulling your hands away from his you ran your fingers through his hair . Lee know shifted his head further into your lap . You leaned down placing a kiss to the top of his head “ I know " you started which was accompanied by a sniffle and a few tears that tricks led down his face and on to your bare skin . "I'm not angry .. hurt but not angry " you began " I know somethings bothering you so please " you held his face in your hands gently gazing down at him "tell me .." you whispered " tell me so i can help you , help us " you said watching as the tears that filled lee knows eyes trickled down his face , as he nodded hiding his sorrowful expression in your lap as he cried, remorseful for his actions but grateful for your understanding , he knew he didn't deserve you .

Lee know was an ass every now and then you knew he was and he knew he was one too but he loved you and no matter how many times you fought or argued that love never changed . He knew that and you did too..

Chapter 3 of poppy playtime and the smiling critters saved poppy playtime (SPOILERS FOR CHAPTER 3!!!)

I know that’s a big statement but hear me out.

Poppy playtime before chapter 3 had a bit of a bad rep. It was basically the punching bag of mascot horror. And can you really blame them? Hell even I thought it was bad in chapter 1.

Chapter 2 came round and it was definitely good! But the horror aspect weren’t on full play and if I recall there was a lot of controversy about it when chapter 2 came out.

But chapter 3? Oh my goodness it’s incredible. And is what really hooked me and a lot of other people in to poppy playtime. And the smiling critter’s basically branched off into there own fandom. (I’m apart of by the way)

I mean for starters gameplay. They balanced horror,gameplay,puzzles and story so bloody well in this chapter it’s unbelievable,and the pacing is brilliant!

And the horror 😨. It would be an understatement to say this was horrifying. First of all nightmare huggy wuggy just in general also we get a glimpse into the orphan experimenting in chapter 2 but chapter 3 really just goes all out on it. I mean home sweet home has some DARK connotations if you look into it and it’s terrifying how people as young as 5! We’re experimented on. I mean the main villain of this chapter catnap. Is literally an 7 or 8 year old child. And you are told constantly To AVOID playcare at all cost’s now imagine how I and basically everyone felt when at the end of the cave segment you see a Sign welcoming you into playcare 😨. And then dogday. Holy fu##ing sh#t was that so dark and brutal. HE’S BEEN CHOPPED IN HALF AND TO MAKE THINGS WORSE HE DIES BY BASICALLY BEING EATEN FROM THE INSIDE OUT BY THE SMALLER CRITTERS?!?! NOT TO MENTION YOU CAN HEAR HIM CHOKING ON THEM IN THE CHASE?!?! That is GENIUELY  such a brutal and dark thing I’ve ever seen come out of a horror game. And wow did mob have some balls to do that when they KNOW they’ve got a massive child audience. Props to them.

The final boss is such a refreshing breath of fresh air with it not being a chase segment. The boss is GENIUELY thought out well. And catnaps and dogdays death actually made me a bit sad especially with dogday.

The characters designs are So Bloody good. Examples being literally any of the smiling critters. Miss joy and so on. They fit the theme and game so well

Now I could mention other things like the cardboard cutouts of the critters or the dark implications of what happened to the bigger body critters during the hour of joy but that would make this post go on for to long.

To end it off. The artist who made the animation for the start of chapter 3 of the smiling critters and just designing them in genreal and there art should be really proud of themselves. They started such a big fandom it’s unbelievable and I couldn’t be more grateful for what they did.

Chapter 3 was such a joy ride and such a surprise to me and loads of people. When I weren’t scared or sad I was grinning ear to ear with how good this chapter was. And I’m not the only one who thinks this. Search up on YouTube Twitter Reddit etc and you’ll see so many people praising this chapter with how good It was. Not saying it’s perfect it def has it flaws like me personally thinking the other critters were criminally underused. But it was such a big step up and made poppy playtime from a mid game to an exceptional game. I and so many others are happy this exists. This chapter was such a joy ride and I personally LOVED IT. Let’s hope that they make the future chapters as good if not better than this one (and hopefully bring back the smiling critters there such good characters)

And that’s why i think chapter 3 (and the smiling critters) SAVED poppy playtime

Screaming into the void rn lmao

I am a chronic shitty slasher movie addict, so a slasher au is always up my alley ...I'm just finally in a fandom where it makes sense (kinda) 🤡

Tw: ...people..die, cuz...it's a slasher movie

It's at a summer camp because I love summer camps, they're so nostalgic to me even tho I went to a really fancy one and not the dumpster camp Ash is a counselor at lmao

It's her first summer there, and she's working with the rest of the gang (Tay, Tyler, Ben, and Logan). She's a dance instructor hehe, her group of kids are planning a ballet recital for the end of camp party :) But she's pissed off cuz they don't have the funds for anything nice.

Then...for some reason the camps start getting donations from , which is a little weird, but hell, Ash doesn't get paid enough to ask her boss (idk maybe Mr. Thomas) about it. But at the same time, weird shit starts happening; the phones get destroyed, finding bugs in the food supplies, or weird puzzles/messages are left around camp. Ash thinks it's some asshole kid messing around for fun :< One day, all the kids go on a field trip with a diff instructor so Ash and her friends can finally relax!

Then yknow, shit hit the fan when they find Tyler's corpse impaled on the tree. Looks like somebody pushed him, but the owners of the camp cover it up and say it's a freak accident and he just fell :/

Cue the rest of the gang quickly getting picked off in increasingly brutal/bizarre ways (sprayed with chemicals, knives to the face, they even find Logan totally massacred in a bear cave), until...it's just Ash.

Obviously seeing her friends die horribly in the span of like 2 days has done some serious damage to her psyche 💀 She's huddling in a cabin tryna call the police, but every time she tries the phone it's some creep saying how much he likes her breathing. Decides to suck it up and try to escape... *sigh* I'd love to draw a chase scene. Aiden's obsessed with her, he gave the donations since he saw how unhappy she was...and picked off all her friends because you know. Possessive much?

Kind of guy who likes to play with his victims, he does games like "hide and seek" or "where am i gonna stick the knife? :)" Definitely flirts with her as she tries to claw his neck out 🤡

But it's a final girl story, so ofc Ash wins and stabs him >:D Calls the cops using his phone and gets the hell outta dodge. Ofc, when she comes back, all the corpses are still there...except for Aiden *shrug*

Comic coming out in...the next decade presumably 💀

Esker, as much as I love them, has one major character trait

...okay everyone has one major character trait, it's that kinda game

Esker’s main thing being ‘lonely’ is, well, because they’re on the Attlerock. Someone had to be- the other astral bodies all have a representative- but there’s not much there. You can explore the whole Attlerock in under ten minutes- faster than exploring Timber Hearth itself- and there’s no deeper layer to any of the puzzles present; everything on the Attlerock is an early puzzle piece, to the Eye, to Dark Bramble, to Feldspar. It’s unlikely most players will go there more than once or twice. And Esker doesn’t get any new dialogue the other travelers get- you don’t have a reason to go back to them. But it didn’t need to be like this- there could have been a lot of things, later puzzle pieces, hidden areas, the same kind of stuff you’ll find on the other planets. So, why not?

Esker, and the Attlerock, are extensions of the tutorial that is walking from your sleeping bag to the observatory. You woke up, you talked to people, you messed with the model ship and your signalscope and the zero g cave, now launch- and you can go wherever you want, but Hornfels tells you, if you’re not sure or you want to start small, to go say hi to Esker on the Attlerock. It’s an easy place to find, to land on, it introduces you to the idea that you’ll get different gravity on different planets, reinforces using your signalscope (and points you towards Feldspar again) and introduces the Nomai’s vision based tech and the Eye of the universe by name (and has some of Chert’s notes but). It’s a very useful extension of the tutorial, if you need it or not. 

And you don’t go back to a tutorial area, usually. Most people playing aren’t going to go running through the village multiple times just to get the same dialogue from the npcs; they won’t go redo the zero g cave or mess with the model ship beyond what they need to for the achievements. And they won’t go back to the Attlerock, because they know everything they needed to learn, and there’s not going to be anything new.

All that together, well, no wonder Esker’s main trait ended up being ‘lonely.’ And trying to swap them with another traveler- Chert instead, Riebeck, maybe, if they never moved on, or Gabbro being lazy- but you’d have to swap purposes with them; Esker who keep eyes on things and fixes ships as needed can’t be burning up with Ember Twin' close solar orbit or in Giant’s Deep's 2x gravity or under the crust on Brittle Hollow. 

They are also, essentially, Timber Hearth’s representative in the very end- you’re the conscious observer, but everyone else is representing the celestial body they were on, and the Attlerock and Esker have to stand in for Timber Hearth as a whole. Despite waking up there, most players aren’t going to be running through the village a lot- they might talk to Slate occasionally, but, most people aren’t going to go run into the rest of the village except maybe once to see if anyone gets new dialogue. 

Of course, the npcs there all have each other, but, you’re off exploring the other craters on the planet- you’re not going back to talk to anyone on Timber Hearth for the most part. And that includes Esker, whistling away on the Attlerock, waiting to see if one of the three astronauts left- of those three, only Chert is stated to fly more than as needed- is going to ask them to fix a ship so they can do something and see someone. Or if Hornfels- who's now downstairs in the museum- or Gossan out in the zero g cave are going to radio them. But no one is, because Esker is alone up on the moon, with no new dialogue, with no new reason for you or anyone to go talk to them.

Because they're an extension of the tutorial, and you don't go back to that once you know how to play.

I meant to post this here but forgor 💀 so um updated Zelda tier list based on what I’ve played so far

Notes below:

Tears of the Kingdom hype is wearing off so I’m slowly starting to see its flaws. I still love the game and have an immense amount of brainrot for the dragons and Zonai but I am ready to accept it’s not THE Zelda game of all time

Skyward Sword is the true favourite. I fucking love this game and I can’t really put it into words lmao

I literally finished Spirit Tracks last week and although the touch controls got annoying towards the end I love LOVE the story, characters and soundtrack. Spirit Tracks Link and Zelda might be my favourite iterations of the characters tbh

Breath of the Wild was the game that started it all and I have so much respect for it. I still prefer totk, but I ough the story. THE STORY. It’s still so so strong even after all these years

Minish Cap is very fun but BRUTAL. Idk if it’s just me but the lack of recovery hearts makes every dungeon a fucking struggle and a half. I do however like the story and setting. Also Ezlo is such a silly companion

I still need to finish Ocarina of Time 3D I’ve had it for nearly a year now but come on. It’s Ocarina of Time. It’s iconic even if I struggle with the controls and puzzles, but imo other Zelda games hold up better for me so it doesn’t rank that high

When I made this list I hadn’t played much Majora’s Mask on Nintendo Online but yesterday I caved in and bought the 3ds port. I think it’s probably more in the bottom category rn because it’s so overwhelming and confusing for my tiny brain but hopefully I’ll get used to it eventually

Oh Phantom Hourglass. I love you so much but also I want to pull my hair out of my skull. There is literally nothing worse than having to return to the same dungeon with the same boring ass theme like eight times in one playthrough. Linebeck is my babygirl, I love Ciela, Bellum is a really scary villain and the exploration is so fun. I just wish it wasn’t so repetitive :(

If I included games that I haven’t played but still love; Wind Waker would be right at the top, Twilight Princess below botw, Links Awakening above Minish Cap and the rest would be in a ??? category because I don’t really know enough about them to rank them

[cassiusonic]

might as well dump whatever i have about my scrapped exe fc. this is a long one.

This is The Stranger.

[ set in-universe, specifically during or at the aftermath of Sonic Forces.

devastation hit harder than what the tinted reassurance of salvation portrayed. the Resistance tried their absolute hardest, but they weren't the golden hand of any god. now, we focus on a certain unfortunate civilian.

if no one was coming to save them, they'll have to save themselves. such is their feeble grasp on the straw towards survival. body all soiled and stomach caved in, their eyes were blurred for anything that will dull the ache. never have they experienced delirium to this extent ; teeth grinded in their sleep as the hunger pulled onto their intestines and clawed their brain, then nothing was left but pure instinct.

sustenance. just a little fill. just a little further onto that luscious open scab.

sustenance.

what follows that decision was a blur, but they do remember a sliver of regret, then an infestation of awe. it was meat they never knew, like a forbidden fruit they'll never find themselves sharing. since then, the stranger stirred more and more towards this new diet. conveniently enough, under debri were lots and lots of supply.

and wouldn't you know, an ability that they initially viewed as a curse, finally came in handy.

[ side note ; that Tails-looking corpse? i wrote back then that Stranger had at some point made that abomination out of corpses while under the influence of lemon sundrop dandelion (if you know, you know) ; one of their "meals" being laced with it. but it's clear i'm not the slightest bit educated about the effects of said substance. you could say this was just a spur-of-the-moment idea.

[ their hunting grounds was at a made-up zone i called the Grayscale Zone. it looks exactly like it sounds. a thick monochromatic foresty area, with a quaint closed town just a trek away.

the Stranger knew each and every faces in that little town, they should know how to recognize outsiders, which they decided will be their only targets. attacking the town was practically painting a target on their face.

they were mostly known by the title Stranger by the locals of the zone ; a friendly and amiable wanderer from the depths of the foliage guiding visitors safely towards the only known sign of society in the gloomy area.

the inhabitants of Grayscale Zone are oddly in the dark when it comes to the happenings out in the world, and the world knew barely about the zone just as much. hence why they aren't suspicious of the Stranger's face.

[ i fantasized on introducing Stranger through a type of novel game, with puzzles and multiple branching routes relying heavily on every decision you make.

there, you play as a green cat named Fluke. the cat had met the Stranger by one fateful day, and he actually recognized them. Sonic the Hedgehog, but not so Sonic the Hedgehog...? wasn't he dead? Fluke is already suspicious throughout their first interaction, but he knew nothing but to be quiet.

Fluke eventually learns of the Stranger's macabre practices, and the not-so-Sonic was too calm about it when they found out in return. however, he always found himself coming back towards the lair of the cannibal. and every time, they talked rather normally about anything and everything as if they were neighbors. with the stranger's carefree attitude and almost simple lifestyle, you'd think they're really just a normal person. that is if they weren't the reason for the multiple missing individual cases recently.

the novel game will never come to fruition though, i'm too inadequate for that.

[ i've come up with four major ending routes when i still had them around.

the first was the "Tattle route" ; the Stranger used to find it amusing whenever the two mulled over Fluke's ideas about tattling, which the latter hadn't done immediately if he weren't so piqued with the cannibal. but eventually, he did.

it actually wasn't the first time Stranger was hunted down ; their missing right pinky finger is the reminder of that. but this time, it's like the entire town was out for their head. Stranger had always recognized how Fluke tethered that threat, but they believed he won't do it because they both knew what the fake hedgehog was capable of.

Stranger actually never expected him to grow a pair and tell about their transgressions, and the sudden switch in power irked them. if they survived this, rest assured they're now out for Fluke's head. curiosity kills the cat, and that cat will certainly be a special treat.

second is the "Molotov route" ; Fluke finds a way to deal with the cannibal himself. and that's by flaming them up. what drove Fluke to this decision was his accumulated fear and a wobbly sense of heroism, believing this time, he could at least do something right (as right as fighting violence with violence gets).

this might be the worst of the worst routes. because here, Stranger survives, though not without a bit of crusted patches on their skin that their shapeshifting ability barely covered up. the seething pain fuels their newfound hunger for repayment. Fluke's fate is unfortunately left unclear.

the third was a rather neutral one, the "Rock Bottom route" ; here, more insight about Fluke will be given. what i've conjured up then was that Fluke wasn't holding up mentally. (keep in mind that this is set in the circumstances of Sonic Forces)

the place they met was by a cliff, and the Stranger could immediately tell the context as to why he was standing there. hence why they were the first one to speak out and catch his attention. from there, Fluke has become more focused onto the interesting subject that is the person whom in a way both ruined and saved him.

as per usual, Fluke always comes back despite the dread that lingers. it was mixed with excitement, doubt, shame, until it all settled to confusion, which then drove his next irrational moves.

the two got along here i think, even if the Stranger knew what a mess could be happening inside the cat's head. the Stranger, despite their obviously disgusting lifestyle, is pretty aware of their wrongdoings yet just chose to be ignorant. Fluke's case wasn't gonna be anything special.

i don't think i've explored this enough, but the gist of it is that Fluke gives in to the tempting thrill, in hopes it'll pull him out of his previous inner turmoils (in turn, entering another). he followed the Stranger's complicated conduct, slowly but surely beginning to aid them in their spree. Stranger on the other hand didn't mind it.

last is perhaps the good ending out of all the routes, the "Cordial route" ; where Fluke actually befriends the cannibal and makes the effort on grounding them down, to convince them to finally abandon their harmful ways.

my ideas skipped the process, but i do remember the last bits - the novel was gonna take a more lighthearted tone in this route with the two genuinely getting along. the Stranger even actually introduced something about them - their flair in cooking. here, Fluke also managed to convince them to cook and try real and healthier food, to see if they could get the old appetite back.

at the end of the run, Stranger was to insist to start over and introduced themselves as "Sham" (though you can't be sure if they were being honest). Fluke would be the first to know the impersonator to such extent after a long, long while.

the two are still yet to deal with the lingering consequences of the Stranger's visceral history. it was still gonna end on an untied note as to how the cannibal will make up for all of that. gonna have to take whatever you can get from it.

[ miscellaneous stuff

Fluke wasn't a local of Grayscale zone, so why haven't Stranger gutted him yet? Fluke bugged them about it too at some point, the cannibal begrudgingly reasoned that "they didn't kill him because they weren't hungry" and that they don't necessarily needed to kill on sight. Fluke just happened to be lucky every time he comes back.

they have terrible memory and terrible eyesight, hence the failed imitation of Sonic. speaking of imitating Sonic, Stranger only did so to (take a guess) lure outsider prey, and to live in the skin of a young, wild and free individual. yes, they had at some point admired the blue blur.

only has 5 bundle of quills on their head, 1 bundle of quills on their back, and no tail.

Stranger hates winter, especially when they didn't stock up enough. due to the cold, there would be very little to hunt and the town is an alternative they don't wish to resort to. hunger was one of the things that really drive them mad.

they're a bit ironic and snarky.

are they actually wearing anything?

Stranger's burnt injuries was actually inspired by a certain frame from an animation "LEGACY, Sonic.EXE" by [ youtube@/kishinpain ]

during Stranger's earliest days when Exe/Faker influence was still there, they had a beast form. which i eventually scrapped because i opted on making them a little more unique than just being a blatant rip-off. well in the end, i just scrapped Stranger as a whole so welp i guess. remants of this scrapped concept is evident in the body contortions latest-Stranger makes.

uh huh. that's about all the things i've developed for this exe, however i've grown disatisfied with them especially with the design. i still wanted to share it though.

that's all now. have a blue gang :^)

Baldur's Gate is making me feel mad stupid because there are just so many ways to solve problems that I would never have thought of. Playing so many games in which there is only one or two ways to do anything has made me SHIT at the puzzles and challenges in this game because it really is just whatever you can come with. I keep waiting for the game to spell it out to me and it simply. Does not. Because the spirit of D&D is to improvise and get creative and think outside the box and the degree to which this game honors that is insane. I end up caving and googling how to do something only to get smacked in the face by an incredibly creative outcome I simply never would have thought of and I feel DUMB

Ughh the gosh darn- how do I- how do I describe this?

While Helmet Party is my #1 always and forever, I ADOREE Zhanna/Soldier to no end. In another of a series of TF2 sitcom-esque plots, picture Heavy coming home for a short visit, maybe looking forward to a quiet holiday with his loving, warm family. Then he walks in and it's. Soldier there, Zhanna's fiance. (Also - how did Soldier beat him there? Heavy not only left earlier, but also took the quickest possible plane and boat trip he could? This puzzles him.)

And it's just - just a series of Misha trying to be at peace, while Jane introduces hardcore AMERICAN-SPIRITED traditions (maybe it's at Christmas time?) and the sisters fall in love with the energy, the wackiness all, leaving Misha just kinda... there, a little alone.

By the end he comes to accept that things have changed in a very - again, sitcomy - way. He still gets time with family, particularly with his mother, just differently than expected.

As for placement in the TF timeline, it's IMPOSSIBLE considering Solly and Zhanna meet up in the post-game comics and it's implied that Heavy is on vacation from the Gravel Wars but shh, shhhhh, uhhh... Ao3 tag: Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence and bam! That covers that.

Another Christmas - specific plot revolves around Scout and Pyro visiting Scout's family in Boston. (Pyro is there not only because the two are BEST BUDS, but also because Pyro doesn't really have a place to go for the holidays)

Queue Jeremy introducing his friend to his many brothers, and THEIR many kids, all in this crowded Boston home. There's wackiness to that.

Most importantly, SPY is there? My favorite way to characterize Spy's fatherhood is that he's always known and has been a bit protective for that reason, but let's say he only realizes it AS SCOUT WALKS IN! (Again, gotta smooth out the timeline with that one.) Jeremy is absolutely oblivious as Spy is out of uniform, obviously, but PYRO is the one to immediately recognize the Frenchman and they make just the most... Bewildered eye contact. While Jeremy bumbles around all: "So, tough guy, think you're good enough for ma?"

Think of Scout and Spy coming up with elaborate backstories to keep cover about their mercenary work, with Spy in particular digging in for the humor of it. Of course, the fluffy Christmas bits - Pyro's new friends, Scout's Ma getting to see her little guy again. It's cute. Very... you know... Sitcomy.

(Also, picture an alternative where Jeremy DOES recognize Spy - and they dance around in the whole elaborate backstory thing while having a side of pissed-off arguing when they can, keeping it all under wraps when any family is around. They both dig deep into the other's 'careers' while around folks just to show each other how mad they are.)

I'll keep the last one short and sweet - reaffirming my headcanon in which Engie has like... 14 nieces and nephews, with parents, grandparents, and their families on a beautiful piece of land in Bee Cave. Like Pyro, Medic doesn't have any thing particular in mind for the holidays, so he tags along with his buddy to Texas. He's a bumbling little German guy thrust into a very Texan culture-heavy scenario, all the eccentric extroversion, the COOKING, the amount of PEOPLE, but also... Seeing Engie as a family man, seeing him unwind and be more human than ever. A.M. coffee watching the sunrise type stuff. It's kinda sweet.

By night, of course, the Science Party shenanigans ensue with Engie showing off his now rather dilapidated workshop elsewhere on the ranch. His father's and grandfather's work, old prototypes, nerd bonding. That type of stuff.
