PSYCHONAUTS SPLATOON HEADCANONS PART 3?!?!?!?!?! this one's for the INTERNS!!!

🐙 also im using squid emojis as dividers for an easier viewing experience now

NORMA NATIVIDAD

norma would be an octoling, and she'd main whatever's "meta defining" at the time instead of just picking a weapon she thinks is neat. what's the point if it's not the best!!

she has main character syndrome i think. she's EXTREMELY bossy and takes the game too seriously. she orders around her team (take the left flank!! cover me while i get the rainmaker!! nooo don't go over there i need you over here defending!!!!) and her instructions are almost always geared toward her getting her teammates to clear a path for her to take all the glory...it never quite goes well. she insists it's her genius planning and direction that gets her team to win matches but she couldn't be more wrong. she also probably blames her teammates when stuff goes wrong. you didn't coordinate well enough!! you didn't listen!!

her favorite mode is rainmaker and her locker is actually pretty neat looking. she shows off all her perfect gear in there and would probably have some of the amiibo items too. she's B- rank.

🐙

LIZZIE NATIVIDAD

lizzie is also an octoling causeee sisters! she'd be a skirmisher/slayer and be really good at baiting other players into unsafe situations where she or someone else on her team can splat them easily. SCARY good at getting people to tunnel and commit too hard to trying to fight her and not realize it till they're already respawning. she'd main something aggressive but mobile so she can get away easy, like octobrush. oh my GOD would she be infuriatingly good at sharking. comes out of nowhere and you're dead before you can blink.

i don't think she takes the game very seriously at ALL, polar opposite of norma, so she never really tilts or blames anyone when she loses. it's just a loss. she might be a sore winner though. i can see her being the type to make fun of her opponents like LMAOOO look at this loser on the jet squelchers aiming at the ground 💀 who let this kid play

anyways her fav mode would be tricolor battle. shes built different like that. she's B+ rank and pokes fun at norma about it sometimes.

🐙

SAM BOOLE

sam is an inkling, she plays slayer. blaster main. she. is. terrifying. she's the one who averages like 20 kills per game. she's the one picking off anyone who dares to touch the rainmaker or step onto the tower or make a single power clam. she is an unstoppable force. i don't think it comes from a place of Intense Focus And Practice though. she strikes me as the type of player to sorta just zone out and have fun without thinking too hard about it, and everyone keeps asking what strats she uses to be able to pull off all the insane plays she does and she just. shrugs.

i think her and raz as a slayer/skirmisher duo would be a force to be reckoned with, like, you see these two together on the enemy team and you're DOOMED. coach oleander is so proud of sam's natural killing machine talent but also a little bit terrified.

her favorite mode is turf war cause it's nice and straightforward. her locker is one of the less mainstream colors like brown or maybe that dark teal color, and it's thoughtfully decorated with cool stickers and stuff. there's definitely one of those furbies in there. very eclectic decor but she makes it work for suresies. she's rank A+. i think she would play salmon run a LOT as well just cause she thinks the salmonids are neat looking.

🐙

GISU NERUMEN

gisu gives me more inkling vibes even though octoling might fit her hair better. seems like the kinda player who doesn't really care about weapon roles and just goes for whatever feels the most fun to play. i think she'd play reeflux! there's a lot of cool stuff you can do with that weapon and potential for lots of trick shots. she'd be sort of like sam and lizzie in that she's pretty easy-going while playing, but i don't think she'd be immune to tilting, especially not when they're 30 seconds away from winning and the other team pulls some insane play that completely turns the tables. she doesn't hold onto a loss for long though and she's pretty good about getting back on track.

she'd totally be the type of player to post a million clips of her getting wipeouts or narrowly escaping getting splatted or those aformentioned trick shots btw. she lives for those highlight compilation worthy moments.

i think she'd be around rank A+ and her favorite mode might beeee... tower control. her locker would either be super sick or she'd use it to do one of those silly jokes with the moai head.

🐙

MORRIS MARTINEZ

morris strikes me as an inkling type fella. i think he wouldn't really like the stress of the front lines and would rather play an anchor weapon. something swagful like e-liter. he'd be convinced that the song that plays during matches affects his performance. of course we lost, they were playing headhammer. of course i did crazy good that round, they were playing ska-blam!!! (i'm the same actually. i always play well when a yoko and the gold bazookas song is on.) he's a pretty chill player but definitely gets put off by spikes in difficulty and might take long breaks from matches altogether because "the other teams are way too sweaty."

he'd probably range from C+ to A- rank at any given time depending how much he's bothered to play that season. his favorite mode would be splat zones since it's one of the less crazy ones, easier to follow what's going on. while gisu would only maybe probably do a joke locker, morris would TOTALLY do one But. he'd also decorate the outside properly so it's both silly and cool.

🐙

ADAM JOSEPH GETTE

octoling. or frankly... if we want to get devious and break the rules... inktoling?!?!?! like morris he's not so aggressive, but instead of it being because he can't handle the front lines i think it would be that he just has more fun playing support. he'd probably main a few weapons, like n-zap '89, splat roller, and tenta brella. he would spend a loooot of effort putting good abilities on fashionable outfits so he can look just as fresh as he plays. he likes learning so he'd get an advantage in the game by absorbing a TON of information about the best ways to use specials, map strategies, weaknesses of other weapons, all that good stuff. he's the kinda guy that always shows up right when you need someone to cover you, and has probably saved a good amount of games by being on point with his support.

he's S rank so y'know he's kiiiind of a big deal... kind of a big shot... big cheese... top dog... he says this all jokingly but norma always fumes at it. his favorite mode? oohhh don't make him choose...they're all fun for their own reasons!! he'd spend lots of time decorating his locker, using the stickers to make funky designs with heavy consideration for the color scheme. he'd probably incorporate the newspaper-y mixed media style stickers from story mode in there somehow. it would have kind of a vintage feel?

[banannabethchase]

a prompt inspired by your own post so this is your fault, really.

hanger being quadruple teamed by the bcc. my first thought was a winner's room sitch but I'll leave that part up to you.

"A prompt inspired by your own post so this is your fault, really" isn't this the fuckin truth? Anyway here have whatever this is.

Control

Adam grins, and fights the urge to lick his lips. "What," he asks. He lays back on the bed, arms behind his head. The comforter is cozier than he expected for this MMA Fuck Club bunch. Maybe this is Claudio's bed, something a little more European about it. Works for him. "Now that it's real, y'all aren't ready to commit?" He laughs a little, adjusting so his erection is a little more obvious. He didn't wear tight jeans for nothing. "Not as tough as you seem, BBC."

"It's BCC," Yuta snaps. Adam turns his eyes on him. He looks genuinely angry, no mask, no control.

"I know," Adam says, "but it's so much more fun to piss you off, isn't it?" He glances over to Mox. "What about you? Talked about choking me out in the past. Wanna make good on that promise?"

"What is happening," Bryan says. It's quiet enough it seems like he hadn't meant to say it out loud.

"What's happening is that you four have had an attitude for, like, a year, and if I have to deal with it without any of the fun stuff, that seems unfair." Adam looks over to Claudio. "How about you? Stuffy European guy, lets loose in the ring. Same in bed, big man?"

It's an approach he didn't exactly plan on, if he admits it. But with his time around the Dark Order, he's discovered that, sometimes, the best way to win is to throw people off guard. And Silver, whose horniness has permeated most if not all of his interactions, seems to be pretty successful using that method. And so here he is, stretched out on a bed, hands slowly undoing his belt, waiting.

"You really are a fuckin' brat, aren't you?" Mox says. He makes his way over to the bed, puts his hands over Adam's where they're messing with the belt. "Jesus. You don't know when to quit."

"I know when to quit," Adam says. "I just never feel like I need to, when it's you four." He deliberately licks his lips and pulls his hands out from under Mox's. He locks eyes with Mox as he pulls his belt off, feeling Yuta's, Bryan's, and Claudio's eyes as he lifts his hips and rolls them back down. In a moment of possible divinely stupid inspiration, he winds it back and smacks Mox with it, right in the back.

Bryan laughs. And Adam knows, very quickly, that they've accidentally given him control in the room.

"The fuck are you doing?!" Mox asks. But his pupils are blown. And Adam's got him read like a Spot book.

Adam grins and yanks Mox down by the back of his neck, leaning up to come a breath away from meeting Mox's lips. "Whatever I want."

medical bitching beneath the cut

Long time followers know for the last 2.5 years I have been chasing jaw joint replacement surgery after my bones started disintegrating which has so far involved a) the surgeon ignoring my calls b) getting denied by insurance c) filing an insurance appeal and getting rejected again d) having to start the entire process over when my workplace switched insurances but at least getting approved this time e) having to do braces for the second time (the first time caused this problem in the first place) which have led to my jaw joints dislocating all over the place (not sure either one is in the socket rn tbh... you get used to a specific pain and then it's hard to tell when something's wrong anymore) and various other minor and major inconveniences including the time I lost 7% of my body weight after getting spacers.

Last week's drama included learning that artificial joints expire and I will have to do this all again in 20 years or so and also that after my braces are done I have to do extensive imaging and then it takes ~4 months to build the artificial joint, which really threw off my mental surgery timeline. The orthodontist had told me May (after many, many attempts on my part in getting any sort of timeline since your employers tend to like to know in advance when you go awol for 6 weeks) so *this* week I went back to him and went 'hey when you said May did you mean May is when you'll be done with me and I do imaging and then the surgery is 4 months later or did you mean May is when the joint will be ready'.

'Probably the first one,' he said 'because I didn't think you were going to have surgery, Adam called and said he didn't think you needed it'

me: ...who? I've never spoken to an Adam about this surgery in my life?

The identity of Adam remains a mystery! I informed my orthodontist that since the surgeon was explaining the build a bear joint process it sounds like surgery is in fact happening so hopefully that is cleared up (or is it???) but like

a) who the fuck is Adam

b) why didn't 'Adam' call me?

c) if I have been coming in for orthodontic treatment since February being very clear that it is because I am preparing for surgery and you think I'm not having surgery shouldn't you like. idk say something. I'm paying you thousands of dollars out of fucking pocket bc my insurance only covered 1.5k

d) if you are convinced I am not having surgery and I ask you hey when am I having surgery why would your answer be 'May' instead of 'never and let's clarify expectations'

e) who the fuck is Adam???

Anyway when am I having my surgery? Idk. Also don't know who (Adam??) how why or even where considering my surgeon works at like 4 locations and last month I was sent on a merry chase bc the ortho office gave me a phone number for a different location than usual (where he did not work, actually, they googled the wrong place. good times). Don't even know what because the ortho keeps talking about making space on my upper jaw for the 'orthodontic portion' of the surgery and as far as I'm aware the main bit goes through my ears. I guess I will just keep living my goddamn life waiting for someone to eventually call and tell me it's time. Or not! Maybe Adam will materialize in my home killing me instantly. I wish every medical practitioner the terror, confusion, and frustration of having years of your life spent in the hands of people who don't give a shit about you and can't be bothered to try. This is not even starting on the front desk staff.

[lab-rats-obsession]

Something I haven't noticed before is that when Leo meets bionic siblings for the first time in the first episide, he calls for Tasha and she immediately appears with Donald in tow and that means she was already in the lab or on her way there when he called her and since she came with Donald - that must mean he was going to show her the lab and probably tell her about Adam, Bree and Chase

[givemewallywestorgivemedeath]

I gotta figure out what the ages are because Irey, Jai and Maxine are all eight. Tai is the same age as Irey and Keli is... 9.

Bobby and Cerdian are dead so if Adams wants to bring them back then he can really bring them back at any age. BUT! Saying that, Bobby would realistically be younger than Lian and older than the West twins (11?) and Cerdian was five years younger than Lian (putting him at 8 ish). Mar'i doesn't exist so if he wants to bring in an alt Mar'i he can really do whatever.

Osul-Ra and Otho-Ra are 12. Maps is 12-13.

Lian is ... 13? 12? 11? She's young but she's also definitely a preteen.

Age gap of five years from oldest to youngest. But wow, that's a young team. I mean... wow. Wally was fighting crime at ten and Dick was fighting crime at nine so it's not unprecedented. But jfc that is young.

[confinesofmy]

i really couldn't hack it in a city. i let a man holding a 48 pack of water go ahead of me in aldi because duh, i had a full cart of groceries. and there was only one queue open. so duh.

this man thanked me. THREE times. i think i made his day.

[sana-yan]

not to go tinfoil but it feels like that szkg was going to get sana-yan earlier than his j5g recruitment, his "recent" (about 1 yr ago since he abandoned his twitter) tweets is either RT-ing official njpw stuff OR interacting with his nii-yan

the ring gear theory is holding water too

god, how sick would it have been if we had a trios of taichi, zsj, and sanada in skzg??? njpw couldn't do that though since szk-san was a freelancer and had the rights to his name, probably

in other tinfoil news, it feels sus that after the will comment mr. sabre jr. never talked about ex-fiance

it does seem extremely noojish to tell mr. sabre jr. not to invoke taichi ever lmao bc taichi's out here posting pics of zacku

Linzi’s 2022 Thank You Post

How did this come around so fast? I still remember making last years!!

So, in true New Year spirit this blog will once again be changing around in 2023... I’ve already started changing my layouts but there’s some other stuff coming 😁✌ Just gonna take me a while to figure things out! (No URL / pfp changes though, so - I’ll still be me!)

And uh, hopefully I might post some actual writing in 2023, because this year I posted exactly 2.

Gotta say thank you to The Band Camino. It’s always an incredible feeling to find a band that can articulate what you cannot whether you’re at your best or your worst, and this year they helped me through some difficult months... And to Starset, once again topping my most played artists, as they should! 😁

Anyways, enough about me! I would as ever like to say thank you to everyone for still being here! 

And especially to those of you that have put up with me over the course of the year through jumping around fandoms and all my DMs 😉

@mandy23b @sufferthesea @sagitariusrising - Thank you so much for everything in 2022 - for getting me through the lows and for being so many of my highs! Looking forward to where 2023 takes us already! ❤💜💙

Ahhh... we couldn’t close this out without doing what I did last year so, I present... my 2022 Men Of The Year! Yes, most of the characters I wrote for, no I didn’t post any so mayyybe in ‘23 you’ll see them?

good things i did today: went to a book club brunch where i only knew one person and didn't even sit next to that person so i would have to socialize with new people, participated in discussion without saying that i did NOT like the book, made everyone laugh twice, and remembered everyone's name.

bad things i did today: forgot to bring my afternoon meds or an afternoon coffee, stopped by a bookstore on my way home to get a coffee, bought books. forgot to buy coffee.

What if there's questions when I plane catch tomorrow like "have you had covid in the last 7 days?" What happens if you say yes? They descend on you with a big bit of cling wrap and wrap you all nice and tight and throw you in with the luggage???? Or they call your name on the loudspeaker before you board and you have to shamefully walk to the front desk and

My family has our own personal advent readings my mom compiled when we were kids. I’ve added/taken away/rearranged it somewhat over the years. So I’ll be posting the daily reading every day In case anyone is interested in following along.

[roach-works]

new heresy that makes the bible way funnier:

god genuinely had no idea that people would be able to disobey him, when he made them. angels couldn’t! everything in the universe was just an extension or a reflection of god himself, operating in perfect mechanical order. then he put a spark of his own creative consciousness in an animal and it turned out it could disobey him.

like, that’s why he told adam and eve not to access a perfectly accessible tree. nothing else in the universe up until that point would have done something he told them not to.

that’s why he asks cain a perfectly ridiculous question, given that he would have watched the murder happen right in front of him: where is your brother? what did you do to him? he didn’t know cain could lie. even when adam and eve disobeyed him, surprising absolutely everyone involved, they hadn’t figured out lying yet. cain figured out lying.

that’s why god decides to destroy humans and start over only a few centuries later. he has no idea what to do. not only are people disobeying and lying to him, they’ve started completely ignoring him, too. he can control the wind, the water, the plants, the animals, the angels, the heavens, the earth. but he cut a part of himself loose and gave it to this totally unique new critter and now he can’t get it back. he can’t make anyone do anything, and now they know it. he had to carve humanity back down to the one family that actually, for whatever reason, still listened to him, and he had to ride them pretty fucking hard from that point onward to make sure they didn’t just..... stop. because at any point basically any human, ever, even the ones who liked him, could just randomly decide to fuck off and do their own thing.

then like, according to christians, god thought maybe he could get a handle on whatever the fuck was going on with how bad humans were being by making another human who had even more god in him than all the other humans, and that didn’t work either. and also even jesus himself didn’t know what humans were going to do next, which was kill him young. like, god had to break the news to him based on an educated guess, and it was a big surprise to him! he was really upset! there’s a whole scene!

like, i think this is hands down the funniest fucking thing to conclude about god ever. he didn’t know it was going to turn out like this when he started and he didn’t know what to do when it did. he’s been basically scrambling to stay on top of the situation for six thousand years and he’s totally beefed it repeatedly.

god the omnipotent lord of creation knows everything, except what you’re going to do next. god the supreme ruler of the universe can do anything, except stop you. you have a little piece of god inside you and it lets you defy the most fundamental machinery of existence basically whenever you like.

if that’s not funny, i don’t know what is.
