#can't wait to see y'all again

[alopiassupersillyosus]

So I have ADHD to the point it's gotten hard to read physical novels. My friend and I have been listening to the audiobook versions of Chronicles of the Imaginarium Geographica, and there isn't one for Dragons of Winter. As a result, we're going to record a chapter each, alternating as we go, and send the audio to each other. I bought the hardcover online and:

Hank, Sanford and Deimos with a Reader who does Handcrafts

Gonna post my old MadCom stuff since people seem interested in it! I didn't write too much back then, but I'll post it anyway and hope for some MadCom requests as well! What the title says! Reader knits, crochets and embroiders in this! The format is different from how I usually write, but that's because I wrote this months ago, if not in 2022! I don't remember when, but it's been a while since I wrote this!

Hank

If you get his attention while doing one of your crafts, expect him to just stare at you for a while. He knows what knitting is, since you can use those needles to stab someone with enough force, but he never really cared much for any of it. So, seeing you do those small, but precise movements has him somewhat curious. If you beckon him closer to check out what you’re doing, he will approach you, taking your piece from your hands and gently examining it, before returning it to you.

While he won’t join you that often due to his occupation, Hank will lie down next to you from time to time, watching you work until he falls asleep eventually. Doing so next to you, especially when you’re knitting or doing embroidery, takes a lot of trust on his behalf, so it’s a rather rare occurrence, but it might happen. Still, sometimes even Nevada’s most wanted can’t resist getting some sleep in.

If you give him a scarf or anything of the likes it might seem like he doesn’t like it at first. As he only grunts in acknowledgement and doesn’t wear it, it might seem disheartening at first glance. But rest assured, he’s well aware that him wearing it would only get it covered in blood, and he wouldn’t want your creation, that you put so much love into, to get sullied like that. Hank does keep it somewhere hidden where only he can find it so that it won’t get stolen as well, he truly does treasure anything you give him.

Sanford

He has helped his mother crocheting every once in a while when he was young by holding her wool for her. Sanford always thought it to be really cool how you can make something so beautiful out of something as simple as wool and yarn. Much like he did when he was younger, he’ll hold your yarn for you, making it more comfortable to knit or crochet for you. Unlike Hank and Deimos, he will try to learn it as well. It seems relaxing, so why not? But by no means is he a master. Due to his strength, he will likely rip the yarn and wool apart from time to time and come to you for help.

In order to relax and unwind a bit, he’ll likely come to you and ask if you would like to practise your craft for and with him. Having you around in and of itself already makes Sanford happy, but just getting to spend time with you without having to worry about being killed by the enemy makes it all the better. If you let him, he will hold you close, lean into you, put you on his lap, anything you’re comfortable with.

Please give him a sweater. Because he’s never wearing a shirt he gets cold fairly easily. He’ll cherish it dearly and wear it whenever he can, and whenever he knows it won’t get ripped. Another thing he’d be very happy with would be a piece of embroidery. It reminds him of better times and gives him hope, especially when your piece of art is something pleasant and sweet to look at. Because of that, he will put it up somewhere in his room where he can always see it. Even if Deimos makes fun of him for it, he will simply lightly jab at the smoker, all the while smiling at it.

Deimos

He’ll lovingly call you a grandma for having hobbies like these. Even while doing embroidery, where you stab things thousands of times, he will snicker at you whenever he catches you doing any of these things. Though, he doesn’t mind that sort of thing at all since that means you’ll be sitting still for a while, meaning you’ll give him a chance to unwind with him. Deimos will wrap his arms around you, leaning onto you or just cuddle into you in general. No fighting, no getting hurt, just watching you do the same movements over and over again.

Despite possibly calling you boring, he does have great respect for your craft, since he can’t do any of it. It’s too tedious and he can’t sit around for long enough doing something like this. It’s simply not exciting enough. But the moment you give him his first sweater, he will think it’s the most awesome thing to ever exist. Proud as a peacock, he will flaunt and taunt his new piece of clothing, especially to Sanford and Hank, declaring just what a great lover he has.

Present him with a plushie and his mind will be blown. He always thought knitting and crocheting are just for woolly hats and sweaters and scarves and all. If he sees you made him a tiny grunt, he will simply lose it, run around the Status Quo base and show everyone what you’re capable of. It doesn’t even matter to him whether or not it looks good. Your hands are magical to him and absolutely everyone has to know just how cool and epic you are.

WHOS READY FOR THE HOSPITAL SCENE IN DUB TODAY :DD!!?!?!?

[stop-breaking-my-heart-telltale]

if dorian didn't show up, do you think louis would have shot minnie?

I do. I know some people think either he wouldn't have or he would've missed so that's why the writers had him shoot Dorian instead, but mmmmmm no, I don't personally think so. I like to think that if he had taken the shot, his shaky hands would've caused him to shoot her fatally.

Mostly because I'm already so normal about the fact that of the Ericson crew, Marlon and Louis are the only ones with a body count. Well, that we know of, but shown to us in the game, at least. Plus, we know it's Louis' first kill.

Like yeah, Clementine and AJ become part of the crew and they have bigger body counts, and if we're counting indirect kills caused by actions, then Tenn has a count... and I guess everyone has blood on their hands for blowing up the boat... but I'm talking about killed directly with a weapon like....... I lied, I'm not normal about that at all, Louis and Marlon are the ones who have killed someone in Louis' route. I'm also not normal about the fact that Louis kills Dorian and then even as he's clearly in shock, he tries to go with Clementine to get AJ, and then later on when they talk about it, he says it feels like bile but not quite and he's glad he has it in him to do it.... listen, listen, listen... I'm obsessed with that.

Anyway, so if Louis shot Minerva, I think he would've accidentally killed her and can you imagine? He's already enough of a mess after killing the woman who pinned him down and tried to cut his finger off [or succeeded] but he knew Minerva, they were friends before the twins were taken. Even Violet couldn't kill her even though that would've been the smarter thing to do, and we know thanks to meta knowledge that killing her would've saved lives, but Violet couldn't, and I don't think Louis would intentionally either.

Speaking of Violet, if Louis killed Minerva, I hate to think about what that would've done to Vi. I think she might've actually left at that point, like what was planned before it got changed to her being burned. I don't think she would've attacked Louis over it, though, like yeah she attacked Clementine in the cell but Louis? I don't know, but I don't think so just because it's Louis and he'd be a mess about it anyway.

Though if he did kill her, it would be a neat parallel to draw... y'know, because Louis forgave AJ for killing Marlon even though he was pissed and heartbroken, and Violet was annoyed with him the entire time... but could she ever forgive Louis for killing Minerva? Y'know? We already have a similar parallel with AJ shooting Tenn, but still.

If Clementine killed Minerva in that moment, though, then I could see Violet attacking her since in her eyes, Clem proved her right.

So yeah, I get why they added the Dorian kill to his route. It adds another compelling element to Louis as a character, but we also need Minerva alive for episode 4; Louis can't kill her, he can't miss, and he's not going to stay with her because we need Violet to stay on the boat and him to be on shore for all routes.

[andyling]

SESSION 4 WAS FUCKING INSANE, AND MY BIAS EXPERIENCED A LOT OF THAT SO I REALLY FELT THE CHAOS THIS TIME AROUND

NOW EVERYONE SHUT UP CAUSE I GOTTA SCREAM ABOUT TANGO OF THE TEK VARIETY 

staring the session off strong by spawning an egregious amount of chickens and editing in a vine reference

ALL OF THEM SHOWERING ETHO WITH DIAMONDS LMAO

the way tango jumped on that tnt, man is never living down the feral wet cat accusations 

lots of tango gibberish this session, love to see it

BDUBS JUST RUNNING INTO THEIR HOME LIKE HE OWNS THE PLACE AJFHASKFKSAFJHK

team ties protecting each other, your honor they’re besties

THE ASSASSINATION ATTEMPTS OH MY GOD

Tango I don’t think taunting the people trying to murderficate you is a good idea

dammit tango you were doing so well at staying alive

JIMMY CHEERING AFTER TANGO’S DEATH NOOOOOOOOO

WHY IS HE KEEPING SEVERAL STACKS OF EGGS ON HIM, HE IS JUST THROWING THEM FUCKING EVERYONE

TANGO JUST THROWING THE EGGS AT JIMMY’S FACE IS HILARIOUS

when i watched Tango’s episode for the first time I audibly gasped when he was chosen as Boogeyman, I shall reenact that, ahem . . . 

LE GASP :O

love how team ties are protecting each other, let’s hope that lasts

IMPULSE SHOWING UP AND GRIAN IMMEDIATELY COMING BACK AFTER SEARCHING FOR HIM THE TIMING IS PERFECT

GRIAN SOUNDED SO OFFENDED “I KNEW YOU WOULDN’T BETRAY HIM THAT EASILY” 

awww Tango and Etho are bonding aka hunting Joel down <3

LMAO THE PVP SKILL COUNTER

love Tango, he’s amazing, but I gotta agree that he’s not the best at pvp

Tango please just hit him with your axe HE’S RIGHT THERE

I don’t even think Tango wants to kill Joel he’s just using scare tactics

HE ACCIDENTALLY HIT JIMMY

FUCK I CAN HEAR THE TEAM RANCHER FANS CREATING ANGST

TANGO YOU HAVE AN AXE USE THAT PLEASE MY DUDE

Martyn immediately turning on Etho was fucking amazing

once again, TANGO PLEASE JUST USE YOUR FUCKING AXE

BRUH HE ACCIDENTALLY LIT ETHO ON FIRE 

“oh dear I'm dead-” InTheLittleWood hit the ground too hard

it was all worth it in the end because TANGO GOT THE KILL

thank god Etho thought of torches they definitely would have drowned

Did Tango completely forget about the fact he was boogey?

Tango being smart for once and leaving before he someone knocked him off Skynet, good job Sir Tek I'm so proud of you

TANGO IS STILL THROWING EGGS MY MAN JUST DROP THE STACKS

SKYNET HAS BACKFIRED ON TEAM TIES SO BADLY, WHELP THERE GOES IMPULSE

all of them talking about going after Scott while Tango, the one other green on the server, is standing right there out in the open

poor Tango hiding behind Skizz 

THE HOARD OF YELLOWS RUNNING TOWARDS THEIR TARGETS IS FUCKING TERRIFYING GOD I CAN’T WAIT TIL PEOPLE GO RED

yay for not getting blown up by a tnt minecart trap

SCAR IMMEDIATELY GETTING DISTRACTED AND RANSACKING THEIR SUGAR CANE

whelp there goes Scott you know what that means

“Let’s go kill Tango :D” meanwhile Tango immediately goes into hiding

POOR TANGO FRANTICALLY DIGGING UNDERGROUND TRYING TO AVOID GETTING MURDERED

Tango falling into the farm, making direct eye-contact with Etho, and going straight back into the wall while Etho doesn’t say a word is just a fantastic moment I love them

Etho trying to protect Tango despite being yellow vs Skizz trying to kill Tango despite being his ally, hmmmmmm

Etho and Tango better be teamed til the end of the line, they have been a dynamic duo this session and I don’t wanna see that burn (again)

THIS ENTIRE CHASE IS SO COMICAL YET STRESSFUL AND I AM HERE FOR IT

“YOU CAN HERE HIM GIGGLING” Tango is not stealthy

Tango responding to them in the most panicked voice is so fucking funny

“. . . polo” Tango is not stealthy

EVERYONE’S VOICES ARE SO CLEAR THEY ARE SO CLOSE HOW IS TANGO DODGING THEM OH MY GOD

YOU CAN SEE THEIR FUCKING NAMES THEY ARE SO CLOSE TO HIM

THE FACT THAT THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE DIGGING AROUND FOR HIM AND THE FACT THAT THEY CAN HEAR TANGO AND THE FACT THAT TANGO IS COVERING HIS TRACKS WITH COBBLE SHOULD MEAN THEY FIND HIM BUT THEY FUCKING DON’T

HOW THE FUCK DID TANGO ESCAPE FROM THAT??!?!?!

HOW THAT MAN DID NOT DIE IS BEYOND ME HOLY SHIT

aaaand then he ends up in the mob farm

Tango immediately running to his team despite the fact that 2/3 of them wanted him dead, god i can sense the tragedy approaching

LOVE HOW TANGO IS BABYING SKIZZ BECAUSE HE’S SO BAD AT KILLING PEOPLE

“FOR TIES!!!!!!!” Tango was blown up by Skizzleman

damn Tango is really just one of the most loyal people in this series, excluding 3rd Life but he didn’t really have a team in that one

it never works out for him, but damn is it good angst potential

All in all, THAT WAS AN AMAZING SESSION!!! Tango was really at the center of the chaos this time around. Etho and Tango make a fantastic dynamic duo that I’ve always loved, I hope we get to see them much more! Anywho, LET’S GO TANGO I’M ROOTING FOR YOU TO WIN THIS ONE!!!!!!

[minzbins]

hi everyone! just wanna let y'all know i won't be active from tomorrow until sunday bc i'm traveling abroad to meet my best friend of 6+ years, @bangzchan, for the first time and we're going to meet+see luminous together 🥺😭

i will check my tag #melontrack once i come back, so if there are things you don't want me to miss you can use that 😊🧡

[hotasfahrenheit]

i was excited when i saw Mike and Jeff (and Ten and Jackson) were going to be on Chuang Asia together but i did not EVER expect multiple shows and projects from them and i'm SO stoked.

i know not everyone in the BL fandom spheres know who Mike is yet but he was in one of my fave dumb Chinese dramas (My Little Princess, and listen it does a really great job of inverting a bunch of popular romance tropes and it's great and funny and cute actually) and i love himmmmmmmm

he's also in one of PP Krit's mvs and it's real pretty so go watch that if you haven't seen it!

Mike was primarily acting in China before the pandemic and until a couple years ago, but he has a young son and the rest of his family is in Thailand from what i know, and it seems like he's shifting into working in Thailand instead of working internationally. and we don't have any actual -confirmation- if either of these shows are going to be BLs or QLs or anything that i know of (tho Happy Ending seems the most likely because of Jeff's and Barcode's characters) but i'll take whatever he's ready to work on because he's great.

i'm so ready for the beautiful things that this beautiful friendship is already turning out like we are all just going to be BLESSED. i hope Mike and Jeff work well together and have a great time and everything they touch turns to gold (and that Jeff talks Mike out of making any more bad mvs) and we get two besties making shows together for a long time. i hope they get to work with all their friends whenever they want and keep pulling in ridiculous collections of actors and talented people to work with them because WHAT THE HECK EVEN ARE THE CASTS FOR THEIR SHOWS like it's actually insane?

i'm also super here for Jeff having been like “i'm out of BOC to focus on singing” and after doing a bunch of successful music stuff, concerts, dropping an album, now he's doing a bunch of acting on his own like yes, get it king, follow your heart and make your own shows since BOC didn't appreciate your talent or give you enough work to do! make all the shows you want, play whatever kinds of characters you want! we're all here for it.

anyway i'm ready for all of it. let's go.

One of my favorite things about Phantom is that he's constantly going off-model (at least in Kingdom Battle). Like his proportions change in every shot:

Makes me wonder what the animation process was. I do love how they put so many smears in it. The way they make the movements look so much more fluid and expressive (and give us screenshots that are absolutely priceless)...

I just think it's interesting how Phantom does this much more than anyone else because it makes me think he's actually even more gloopy and squishy than he looks lol. Wonder if he would melt into a puddle if he got too hot.

Meng Po Soup's favourite flowers are red spider lilies.

They are the only flowers that bloomed in the underworld, helping lost souls find their way back onto the path of reincarnation with their fragrant scent.

Despite living in the underworld all his life, he had never really paid attention to them. After all, they were just some flowers, why should he care about them?

Yes, he never cared about the flowers. What he cared about was the smile you would give him whenever he gave those flowers to you, watching your face bloom with happiness as you accepted the flowers gracefully, a shy blush spread across your cheeks.

Once upon a time, he had been nicknamed by the masses as "Heartless" for a number of reasons. His face that was as still as a rock, his voice that never faltered while speaking the cruelest of thoughts, his body that never flinched when he was handing out punishments mercilessly-- there were too many to list out and he didn't feel comfortable listing anymore anymore when tears started to appear at the corner of your eyes.

"What they say is not true! The fact that you love me is proof that you have a heart!"

Is that so?

Perhaps you were right.

After he had met you, he began to learn about the various emotions in his heart in order to love you the way you deserved to feel loved. Every day, his heart was packed with emotions that he never knew the names of till you taught him what they were, why they were there and how each ones were significant. Those days were the best days in his immortal life, ones that he wished to perserve in the library of memories so that he could revisit them whenever he wanted to.

So why did he have to meet you in that field of red spider lilies?

"I'm sorry, Meng. I have to leave now."

"You don't have to. You can drink the soup and stay here as my servant again."

You don't have to go, so stay. Stay here with me please.

He wished that he didn't see you shake your head, shattering his ideas of keeping you all to himself.

He wished that you didn't approach him with a sad smile before embracing him tightly, just like how you would greet him whenever he paid a visit to Kongsang.

He wished, oh how he wished, that he didn't feel how cold your body was against his, devoid of the warmth that the living had within their bodies.

"Take care, my love. Remember that your heart is always here with you no matter what."

No, no it wasn't. His heart was never with him. It was in the hands of the person that smiled for him, cried for him, died for him.

That day, tears fell from his eyes as he pressed you close to his chest, praying that this nightmare would disappear the moment he woke up. Alas, when he saw your memories slowly disappear the moment you drank the soup--his soup--, a part of him died along the memories they shared. Memories that only he would carry from today onwards.

Meng Po Soup's favourite flowers were red spider lilies.

Now, as he looks over the sea of red spider lilies, a sneer appears on his lips.

Maybe they would look more beautiful if they were burned down with the world that dared to hurt you.
