This came to me in a vivid dream

[druvjelly]

This is a cinematic masterpiece

[hollow-dweller]

gritting my teeth and letting posts that incorrectly "combat" death of the author in the name of holding authors accountable for their shitty behaviour go past on my dash because the greater message is more important than nitpicking the invocation of a commonly misunderstood literary theory. literally who is braver than i.

MASSIVE TONE INDICATOR: I AM JOKING AND TRYING TO POKE FUN AT MYSELF

any fellow fanfic writers get that problem when you plan something in depth and you’re really proud of it and then you’re doing research for the miniscule lore that exists in the source and you stumble across something you somehow missed despite reading the voice lines thousands of times because you have this thing called autism and now you’ve accidentally just made your fic even more lore innacurate when you’re already pretty insecure of how off canon it is in the first place

or is that like a me thing or something

You know what's better than self awareness? Lacking self awareness but knowing self awareness is expected of you so you just keep saying things about yourself and having to live up to them later

Like girl what do you mean "I don't really hate any media" Dota 2 literally exists

11th grader in my podcast club saying to a 9th grader "you want to scan me bro?"

[ponett]

when there's a video game i feel disinterest towards and it's a sequel my brain will always jump to a "joke" where i replace the "two" with "poo" - for example "dead island 2? more like dead island poo," "dota 2? more like dota poo," etc. it's very versatile and very funny - which in turn always just makes me think back to this iconic mega64 video they did as an ad for a korean mmo that went offline three years later

[valyrra]

just me venting

you know whats funny? my mother reminded me of my hyperfixations when i was a kid. I literally pulled everyone and forced them to roleplay "Avatar The Last Airbender" EVERY DAMN TIME I INTERRACTED WITH my friends. I was obsessed with Azula. I asked my sister to make me her hairstyle before school and stuff even lmao, despite the jokes of my classmates

Later that thing kinda helped me to learn how to draw since when I got older I just ignored most of the classes and drew Dota/Warcraft characters in my notebooks. Because I COULDNT think of anything else. momma said, in quote: "you always obsessed over something, but never knew how to un-obsess. and i didn't know how to deal with it, how can I take away my child's favourite toy?"

I never met anyone with the same issues IRL. And nobody did think it was big of a problem but right now it turned into "I'm either obsessed or I'm depressed" lifestyle. Which sucks.

Anyways. I am on new meds. 7 FUCKING MEDS. I feel calm like I was shot with a tranquilizer. Hope they can help with me being more or less stable. And now I am no longer drinking alchohol. Probably for a long time.

we neeeeedd more gamer porco please !!

GAMER!PORCO HEADCANONS

Starring: Porco Galliard

Rating: 18+

Notes: Thanks so much for your ask!! I jotted down most of these while I was on a train back to London so I’d say there’s quite a bit?? Hopefully you like them! If you want to see more of these individual in-depth character hcs, let me know here!

- Porco probably started playing video-games at an early age because of Marcel

- Lowkey probably he was terrified at first??? Marcel would play these games with the weirdest monsters and creatures and poor baby Porco couldn’t handle it :(

- But he loved watching his brother and when he was old enough he started to play!

- Speaking of Marcel, I bet he’d be really into DOTA and League, but he has his own play group because of distance

- Secretly, I always hc Marcel as going to college or working in Europe or something while Porco is in the US? That’s why they don’t stream together regularly!

- But every now and then Porco does a stream at an obscure time so they can play together(:

- Speaking of streams, I totally see Porco streaming on Twitch someday?? He’d be hesitant to do it at first because he’s a busy guy and he wouldn’t want it to be a big hassle, but he just starts streaming casually

- Has a minecraft realm with Marcel, Colt, Pieck, Bertholdt, etc (Reiner and Zeke don’t play video games lets be honest they can hardly use a computer)

- Combining my two AUs (gamers and college students), Reiner is the captain of the soccer team that Porco’s on so he gets included now and then

- Like Porco will convince Reiner to join the server once in a blue moon and he spends the entire night harassing the guy

- Poor Reiner doesn’t even know what a crafting table is and Porco has his best netherite gear on, hiding in the treetops above him, ready to attack

- Porco tells his chat that he hates Reiner because he makes them run extra laps at practice (and Reiner says back that they need to run more if they want to have a chance at winning their upcoming tournament!)

- Brings Reiner into the nether just to tell him to place a bed and go to sleep in it xoxo

- I think that Porco might be really into 100% completing games and speed runs but he’s SO BAD AT THEM

- Honestly on his channel it becomes a joke where he calls everything a speedrun

- He pauses his game “okay guys brb doing a G-fuel speedrun”, or “gotta piss, bathroom speedrun”

- He’s not very good at games like DOTA, he’s decent at Call of Duty, but he doesn’t like to stream them because he doesn’t understand why someone would watch a mediocre player?

- But as he gets comfortable he starts to open up more and play for fun, and people watch just for him and his personality!

- As his partner you also probably get roped into playing with him now and then if you mention being down to do so! If you’re not he won’t push it(:

- Always refers to you by name on stream because he assumes his fans all know you??? Like duh you’re the love of his life how would they NOT know who (Y/N) is.

- And he talks about you a lot. Probably too much?

- Unfortunately he might share one or two personal details or stories that you might not want him to tell

- Nothing too bad!! Just like “oh (Y/N) drooled all over my pillow last night so I’m running the sheets through the wash, in case you guys hear my alarm go off” (unrelated but he keeps an alarm on for the washer and dryer because he hates when they start to smell mildewy and get wrinkled!)

- “Y/N doesn’t like drinking milk because it makes her really gassy and then she—” the stream abruptly ends

- Honestly he has a pretty monotone voice when it comes to his streams? Probably sounds annoyed half the time (and he is, when he’s playing DOTA with his playgroup)

-The only time he like actively perks up is when he’s with you or talking about you

- Ngl but he’d stream the dumbest games with you?? Like Webkinz, Club Penguin, the Sims, etc

- “Girls Go Games with (Y/N)” and you play dumb games about taking Queen Elsa to the dentist, or dress her up for tea with Anna, etc

- He’d probably take them weirdly seriously though?? “No chat I’m not putting her in the orange dress it’ll clash with the theme of the tea party”

- He probably drinks G fuel or other energy dreams during his streams?

- Starts each stream with a ‘just chatting’ segment where he talks with his chat and then tries a new G fuel favorite

- Cries when he gets a G fuel sponsorship (‘:

- Would play a couple games with Connie honestly, also random ones

- Anything from Chess to Wikipedia races to more Girls Go Games

- Have you seen that clip of Jschlatt playing chess, and he’s SO CONFIDENT about beating his opponent but then proceeds to get check-mated in two turns?? That’s so Porco. Connie doesn’t even know how to play and he check-mates Porco out of pure chance

- Also they have a Sims household together for some reason?? You and Porco are streaming, about to open your cute household file where you have a cute apartment and a lil dog together, and you see a new file titled “ABOMINATIONS FROM H3LL” and they’re just the scariest looking sims ever. And they’re all pregnant for some reason?

- When he plays with his League/DOTA group (Eren, Jean, Armin, Connie), they’ll also play other games on stream

- Like Among Us or Phasmophobia

- And he’s so bad at them!!!

- I bet he’d play a lot of Pokémon games on stream?? That’s a game from his childhood that he’d watch Marcel play that DIDN’T scare the shit outta him xoxo

- Does a Nuzzlocke version of every single Pokémon game, probably does a marathon of sorts for charity at one point(‘:

- On casual plays, he makes sure he has an Umbreon in every game possible because it’s his favorite Pokemon, as well as whatever your favorite is!! Names it after you and actually feels really bad when it faints :(

- I think every now and then he’d be SO EXCITED to play with you??

- Like with my last set of gamer headcanons, before you and him started playing together it was just sort of his private time to relax after school?

- So once he’s comfortable and embraced that dorky side of him (and knows that you are also a dork lol) he’ll literally pick you up and carry you over his shoulder towards your desk

- “C’mon let’s play a quick round of DOTA! I have a really good feeling about it, I’ll play support :D”

- Honestly I don’t think he’d be the biggest fan of games with stories?? Just because he can get busy with school and soccer and ends up forgetting the plot oops

- But he’d definitely watch you play and join in now and then if you want!

- I don’t think he’d like the 1 player games where you have to make decisions that would impact the ending (like Until Dawn)?? Just because he’d be super panicked about making the right decision

- “Pork baby there is no “right” ending, your choices will lead you to the ending that best fits your game” “No (y/n) I need to make sure every single character survives!!!”

- He’ll play them though because they’re recommended by his twitch followers?? And then his chat tells him all of the wrong choices

- Sorry it’s easy to push his buttons lol

- Doesn’t like his chat calling you guys mom and dad because he thinks it’s weird “I haven’t even proposed to her yet guys stop”

- But he’s also been caught with “Porco x (Y/N) best moments” and similar past searches 🫢

hi hello im doing more of valve’s job for them here’s some shit i made up about iron fog copy pasted from my google docs for your (lack of) enjoyment

Not to like rip off Repo the Genetic Opera or anything but.

So in Iron Fog, among the high class that live there, mechanical enhancements are almost like a fashion thing. This ranges from small things like a high tech wrist watch or major alterations involving organ replacements.

Now the reason these are so “safe” are due to experiments conducted on prisoners of war, those waiting on death row for murder and mass robbery, prisoners detained for petty crimes … and the lower class in general. Vast underground laboratories contain horrid surgical rooms using subjects to test the most efficient methods of enhancement. Failures were disposed of quietly, partial successes sent out to labour and the first major successes paraded as celebrities and moved to the high class. The desperation of the poor was easy to exploit in this sense.

Initially people clamoured for augmentation, desiring to give up limbs and organs just for a place in wealth. What they didn’t realise was they were being augmented for further experimentation or enhanced for endless labour. Digging the gold mines, patrolling the city, rounding up more test subjects etc.

The rich, however, remained in a life of ease and glamour, flaunting their new limbs and bodies. Even their process was sedated and painless versus the horrible, torturous experiments performed on the “lesser” people.

As for the Herald himself, the origins of these experiments began with him. Once a Fae obsessed with Keen technology, he left Revtel to realise his mechanical ambitions, only to be horrifically butchered in a failed invention. By some miracle that the Keen chalked up to his superb health, he didn’t perish but they had to move quickly to save him. A cold, brass suit was constructed to house the dying inventor, metal and steam grafted onto his flesh and pumped through his blood. He survived, and he thrived.

The Brass Herald is the oldest of the three current Merchant Kings having lived past one hundred years thanks to his mechanical form. Those who have seen his face are long dead, and those living currently would prefer to not see it.

hi! 5, 7 & 15 for the country asks pls? (from @enswbl)

Thank you for asking! <3 5. favourite song in your native language? Ohh I forgot how difficult it is to answer questions! Difficult... I used to hate German songs for a very long time. Now I like quite a few songs! I will name three that I like for completely different reasons: Stark - Ich + Ich (a song from my childhood, I still love it) Juppe - Kraftklub (used to be the intro to the satire show I'm obsessed with. It is wonderfully sarcastic. I've listened to it more than anyone should lol) Unterwegs - Dota (Dota is a wonderful singer and songwriter. I love to listen to this peaceful song on train journeys and dream)

7. three words from your native language that you like the most? I think the coolest about my language is that we love to make up words as we go - we just throw everything together and although it may look incomprehensible the words still make sense. Difficult to name three words I like! Sorry if this is a disappointing answer!

15. a saying, joke, or hermetic meme that only people from your country will get?

hmmm... since we just discussed an old article about that at journalism class today: "guttenbergen/geguttenbergt" = to plagiarise/plagiarised. Because of a scandal of a former minister who plagiarised his thesis. It was a huge thing back in 2011. A bit less cryptic: To be hungover in German is "einen Kater haben" = "to have a (male) cat".

[dojae-huh]

yes ofcrs....I do think the bunny tatto have to do smthng with dy, considering how ty is...the way he didnt mentioned or explain the reason behind it also makes a definitive conclusion...mayb dy didnt want him to let the world knw abt it evn tho they r best frnds...u knw how dy behave sometimes...he can announce that he brought couple rings nd even said it himself that they r togthr when ty went to hiatus....nd ofcrs ty wont cross the line if dy didnt want it...

The thing about ty is he wants some things or ppl that he loves dearly to commemorate...if he tattoos ruby for the memory then I am sure the bunny is dy..I dont really ship them but sometimes I do really think , there must have be a milli second that ty would want do in his life forever..like it would be heaven if he get dy....I am not trying to convey my word into them as a ship or real...I dont quite follow their interactions, but whenever it happens u knw , y dont they...like that....I nd may be the reason ty was very loud about saying I love u to dy nd he is ma fav whenever he got chances, even the bts of mv shootings dont knw how many times he shouted dy's name..like dy himself asked the staff that y does he love me that much?? Just wondering what is he going to do without him....haha...joking tho...

nd the thing about jae is he can only just watch it..haha....poor boy... whenever dotae happens he must have something to add on it...like when dy said ty is cute baggy Jean's audio live , nd mark said he got touched by dys confession, then jae said Aah i was looking at them ,they cant meet the eyes.. nd during fact check smini mark said the song ( I think its loves a beauty) ty wrote it thinking about dy, then jae said like ty said not to mention it...like he cant sit still ...for latest con, when dotae having their moment,ty talking about their love nd 11 yrs of friendship then jae said should we give you some private time on the back?? Hahaha....like u knw not jealousy but something that makes him jump from the seat...may b he couldn't get out of that teenage boy jae within him....haha..nd really sorry for changing the topic...

So my conclusion as a an observer (ofcrs not good as u) I am srsly sure about that tatto related with do nd ofcrs there is a clear reason behind him giving the whale painting for his bday..(ofcrs I dont knw the reason tho) ...nd dont knw how he will survive without his team on military...I am gonna miss him so much...

I actually do think Taeyong is that dependant on Do and did have a more than a minute long thought of wanting him forever, lol. He said it directly to Do afterall. And he doesn't care about Jaehyun's wrath.

It's right to be careful with "wishful thinking", no need to describe how fans in general like to overthink and imagine absolutely unrealistic rainbow scenarios. However, in the end it comes to the individual under scrutinity. Taeyong wrote a whole song about his dog and talked about her as his only friend in high school in Lost boys. I love animals, I dedicated my life to them as a zoologist and animal artist, and even for me it is hard to imagine such dedication for a small old pet. Tae is very grateful to his sister, he said his home where his mom is, he loves his nephew, he talks about Baekhyun's support non-stop, he can't let go of his favourite dongsaeng Jaehyun, he supports his friends like Johnny or Yuta (when JohnDo had a fall out, Tae tried to pay Johnny attention a lot before cameras, smooth out the situation), he sacrificed a lot for his group, endured bullying accusations not wanting to drag into it the person involved - he is emotional and clings to the people he formed bonds with.

That being said, Tae changed in the last two years, noticeably matured, he spends more and more time with his producer friends and managers, in the city as well. He started to live alone. He is aiming for emotional independance. So he will probably be able to go through the military ok. Plus conscripts can now use mobile phones any time, so he won't be cut off from his friends and family.

Heh, Jaehyunie. Yes, he needs to include himself. And who can blame him. His friendship with Tae is complicated.

The whale for Tae is positive mental health. He compared his inner demons with sharks, and the whale is a big kind calm creature swimming in the blue sea/sky. Maybe it's him at times as well.

"Now the size of my heart is only a real whale

The shark in my mind is no longer there"

He probably talked more about whales in some of his lives, but can't find the info right now.

Will you tell us the tale of that tumblr RP community? Or is it going to your grave?

Hoo boy... didn't expect an actual ask for that! I feel like it's not really something super interesting and unique but, meh...~

Basically, it was an RP community for Dota 2. I know, kinda surprising. But shit was honestly pretty standard...

But I guess one of the recurring jokes there is that anons are treated like their own separate entities, since we use to send anon asks to both send mystery answers to each other's "mun/muse" posts, and to just harass each other. Sometimes it's plain "haha you are a doodoo brain" directed at our muse/character, sometimes it's an anon daring you to do something incredibly stupid with said muse/character. Due to the power they can wield with any ask/RP memes, we call them "grey mages".

And, whoever does em really likes to get in character and/or acknowledge themselves as anon. Straight up just tell our characters "yeah I think you look hotter with all grey and with sunglasses" or "maybe they'd ditch you for a grey faceless shades-wearing chad like me". If we ever get any problems in or out of character, or just any form of interaction, there WILL be the grey mages suggesting you to just turn grey and wear shades or something along those lines.

...and I guess that's what that comment reminded me off. XD
