2024 SEASON'S GREETINGS [CHESSMATE] TEASERS

[howlingday]

Nora: Oh no~! You took out my diagonal cut guy! Too bad you missed my tower guy! BOOM! And that's chessmate.

Watts: (Somehow lost to Nora Valkyrie) Grr! You mean checkmate!

Nora: Whatever! I still win~!

You know what is funny about the Gossip Girl AU? Sanji is supposed to be the Serena and Zoro the Blair but as I started writing the prequel and even re-read the main story, Sanji fits the Blair role better. He only fits the Serena bit as the pretty blonde of the gang. He is also the Effy Stonem of the gang due to his mental issues and his chessmaster and manipulative ways. How did Zoro become a manipulative chessmater? Blame Sanji. Sanji taught him everything he knows now. Plus Sanji will bully him every once in a while

"yohan sunbae,"  yunhee  greeted  the  chessmaster  with  a  timid  smile,  her  small  hand  gently  grazing  the  velvet  sofas  just  as  she  announced  her  own  presence  by  taking  a  seat  on  the  sofa  across  yohan's.  "i'm  really  sorry  to  disturb  you  but  i  think  i  desperately  need  some  advice  for  the  upcoming  ritual."  she  admitted,  folding  her  dainty  hands  neatly  upon  her  lap  —  the  perfect  vision  of  proper  etiquette,  humble  in  all  her  grace  as  a  way  to  show  her  own  respect  towards  yohan.  the  fact  she  knew  to  mind  her  own  manners  had  been  one  of  her  most  exemplary  strengths  in  earning  the  chessmaters'  favor.  as  they  always  did  love  to  act  as  if  they  were  kings  and  queens  in  their  own  right.  "i  know  yoojin's  ritual  will  be  something  ridiculously  insane  so  i  need  to  make  sure  i'm  prepared  for  everything  because  i  know  my  boyfriend  can  be  impulsive  and  i  need  countermeasures  so  he  doesn't  do  anything  stupid."  strategizing  had  always  been  her  forte,  her  calculative  approach  to  planning  every  steps  had  ensure  things  would  always go  smoothly  for  her  and  hyungseo.  it  doesn't  hurt  for  her  to  be  cautious,  and  there's  nothing  wrong  in  being  meticulous.  "what  do  you  think  i  should  do?"

if myers-briggs is so fake then how come this random person assigned linus INFJ which is both the peanut i am and the myers-briggs type i am. chessmate

[belovedfoxincrocs-shadowbanned]

My 8-year-old son is apparently just learning chess in his own. There is an app called Chessmates that my father-in-law has on his tablet and my son has been using it. He asked me in the car if I knew the best opening move in chess, and I told him I do but I'd like to hear what he thinks it is and he rattles off pawn E4 and the most common response for black is pawn E5 (100% correct that this is the most common opening played and is considered the strongest opener) and that's when he told me about learning chess on that app

hiiiiiiiii how about 10, 12, & 24??? <333

10. with characters i struggle with

But Kouyou brought him here to give him a break from his work, to offer temporary stress relief. So Chuuya will bite his tongue and drink his tea and listen as she tells him about the work she’s been doing and wonders aloud how Kyouka is and reminds him that there is no shame in taking a break from his work. As if he didn’t get chewed out by Elise last time he did that. He watches Kouyou raise her cup to her lips with a practiced grace. He’s tried to mimic the way she carries herself for years, but he always finds himself falling short. He’s never quite as elegant, never quite as beautiful. Just a few steps behind, always reaching for something he can never quite grasp in terms of how he presents himself.

here's a bit with kouyou from my chuuya wip,, i don't think i have any other wips with characters i really struggle with rn sdfghgjhk

12. that has a particularly good bit of characterization

answered here but have some more shenanigans <3

“Maybe you could set up another one for just the two of them? Like in the movies sometimes, when someone is trying to set up a friend, they’ll plan an outing with the couple and then make up some excuse for why they have to cancel at the last minute, which allows the couple to spend time alone together in a date-like setting!” Akutagawa’s frown deepens. “I have never once watched a movie where that happens.” Lucy crosses her arms, sticking her nose in the air. “Well. It does. Maybe you just need to watch more movies.” Atsushi hands Aya her phone back. “That sounds like the plot of a fanfiction you were telling me about; not a movie.” Lucy’s face colors. “Well—”

24. that makes me go "huh...i wrote that?!"

“My other option was, ‘I can mate you in ten moves or less’.” “That’s even worse!” “I know!” Dazai pushes herself up onto the desk, then turns around so her back is to the rest of the library and she’s looking down at Fyodor. She sort of wants to sit on his lap just to see how he’ll react, but she refrains. “How about this: I see a hole in your defense, are you ready for my rook penetration?” She wiggles her eyebrows. Fyodor, now smiling wider than Dazai has ever seen, reaches forward and takes one of her hands in his and tells her, “Are you a pawn on the seventh rank? Because you’re about to come as a queen.”

the chessmating.. deep sigh. i spent so much time reading through terrible chess pickup lines for this

[trekkiehood]

Kirk is looking for the perfect chessmate? Is he now? Huh? Who could that be????

Who do i have to pay to make the Detective Heart of America videos and feature length movie required viewing for people online. Especially now that everyone was expectring a boatload of new quotable lines from i think you should leave season 3 and were left close to empty handed people need to start quoting The united republic of slamzone or I just caught your bullet with my gun no big D or Chessmate or Madison square garden getting trampled on by her mother when she was born. or Jesus and cube energy
