#dude is nice but I'm always sus of dudes

[dorkylittleweirdo]

Hello folks welcome back once again to the ever fun game: Is This Flirting Or Is This Just Being Friendly

[thanes-krios]

What it is about kind male video game companions that male gamers absolutely HATE?

I've seen it happen with Dragon Age's Alistair, Mass Effect's Kaidan, and even lowkey KOTOR's Carth Onasi (emphasis on kind, not necessarily nice, cause dude had a bit of an attitude in the beginnning). Now I'm seeing it with Gale of Waterdeep from Baldur's Gate 3.

Men hate him! Admittedly, many women seem to also hate Gale (Though from what I'm observing, it seems to be because his romance is bugged in a way that doesn't recognize when you've rejected him, so to many it comes off as not taking no for an answer -- but that's the fault of the game, not the character). The other reason I'm seeing from women is that he supposedly doesn't respect boundaries, citing his relationship with Mystra, but... were yall listening to him at all?

1. This goddess took interest in him as a *child* prodigy, became his mentor, and then his lover??? That's sus as hell.

2. It's not like he and Mystra had personal boundaries set specifically for their relationship, and he decided to cross them, it was that Mystra has general magical limitations for magic users in general, and Gale thought he would be an exception because she treated him as special, and because his reasons for pushing his magical limitations were to restore a part of her she'd lost. I've also seen people say he downplays that as a simple mistake made in his youth, but from the actual conversation with him, it's very clear he regrets that so?? I don't get it. (maybe I'm misremembering or missing more of the story, I'm only at the beginning of Act 2)

But this post is a reaction-rant to seeing too many male creators on tiktok hate on Gale so badly it's becoming obnoxious. And their reasons are so weak, yet fuel hatred so strong. They just find him so annoying, and I guess to each their own, but I don't get why, and I don't get why men always seem to find those kinds of emotionally available, kind for the sake of being kind, male characters annoying.

[miraculouslbcnreactions]

I always found it so weird that the whole ass city of Paris was... so in loop with everything miraculous related? None of these people have to know all the details about all the different miraculous there are and that LB is the guardian and stores them somewhere or even the fact that combining the miraculous of the ladybug and the black cat allow you a wish that literally rewrites reality??? That sort of information is incredibly dangerous. What if some random dude is super desperate for something and does some insane shit to somehow get his hands on the miraculous? Even if it's just something small that he really wants a certain job, or the girl of his dreams likes someone else, some people would probably go through extreme measures so what would stop them?

In that context, I think Marinette should've tried to maybe stop Alya from posting such information online and make it public? It would make far more sense if Alya just simply did research and shared the information with Ladybug (or Marinette after she learns her identity) to discover the origins of the miraculouses. The rest of the world don't have to know anything about this

I wholeheartedly agree. The scene where Felix is watching the Ladyblog and getting Miraculous 101 from Alya left me stunned because wtf are you doing Alya? You're a full time hero now! You should realize how serious this stuff is!

It would be one thing if the show had gone with a backstory where miraculous were even just a somewhat known thing, but the way the show plays things gives the impression that miraculous were a well hidden secret for thousands of years until this random teenage girl started a blog and started looking into things. It definitely strains believably and I have a hard time buying that Master Fu, Tikki, and Su Han would just let this happen.

Idk, maybe I'm expecting too much from a kids show, but it is something I consider a minor failing. It's only minor because I know that the writers are never going to have the Ladyblog's info dumps lead to serious consequences for anyone. That's been clear ever since Lila was able to claim to be Ladybug's bff without any consequences even though she made that claim before she teamed up with Gabriel. It would have been nice to see her lies have real negative consequences for her even if those consequences were somewhat brief and still led to a team up in her favor.

[barrenclan]

hello i just binged your entire comic in an evening despite having never been into warriors PLUS scrolled down so so deep on your blog but i haven't seen anyone say this yet - what if when they "disappeared", rainhaze was actually sneaking off to defiancd for the umpteenth time, and dustfeather actually got sus of him and followed him.... and then when they got there, dust was revealed and rain had to kill her to prove his loyalty to defiance. that OR someone from defiance killed her and rain was forcefully indoctrinated so word wouldnt get out of the forest

the other version of this theory is that rain actually invited dust along to show her defiance like Omg Mom Check Out These Cool Dudes I Found They Got Free Food :D !!!! and when they got there dust went Oh This Sucks Actually and that's when she was killed - one way or another

i don't have anything to back these theories up except Vibes I Feel also sorry if it's rambly slash doesn't make sense it is. 1.30 am and i'm so so eepy

anyway your comic FUCKS it's SO GOOD i can't wait to find out more !!!! also super impressive of you to keep up with this massive project GODSPEED. also also i've seen another comic of yours mentioed - the dog star (?) where would one be able to read that? ty !!!!!

Oho, I managed to hook someone not brain-poisoned by the cat books! I always like when I get to do that.

I like your theory. :) We're very close to finding out some big things about Rainhaze and Dustfeather, so keep an eye on them for the next few months!

Also, no one should ever apologize to me for writing long, thoughtful, rambling comments about my characters. Because then I get to read more nice and cool things.

The Dog Star (TDS for short) is also a Warriors OC comic, which I've been working on since 2019. If you want to participate in a bigger commenter community, you can read it on DeviantArt (Razmerry) or Instagram (razzledazzlin), but ComicFury is the best way to just read the comic itself.

I'm Just Worried About You

Finally! It's graduation time! The ceremony went smoothly. Vaughn did NOT invite his father but Grams, Brooklyn and Veronica were in attendance. Vaughn wasn't able to find time to speak with Veronica but he plans on pulling her aside today and clearing everything out

Hopefully

Su stands alone and proud. Graduation comes and goes, and no one stands in his corner to tell Su they are proud of him. Vaughn is there but he has his own family to show their support. The only redeeming factor today is Grayson

Finally, at the after party, it's filled with new graduates, business moguls and interested companies looking to poach new recruits to their side. Su stands off to the side eyes scanning the crowd for his little dude Spotted.

Su walks straight to Grayson his hands immediately around Grayson's waist and pulls him close "Took you long enough. You look good"

Grayson: Congrats Su!! You're free! No more assignments or projects. Must be nice

Su: It's very nice. Are you here alone?

Grayson: My parents are somewhere

Pulling Grayson to a quiet hall Su stood in front of him with a worried look

Su: How much do you know about Gideon and how he handled his grandparents

Grayson: Hmmm, I'm not sure he said something about selling shares. We're supposed to meet today and talk about it

Talk to Gideon about it? That's not happening with Su around. Grayson just needs a push in the right direction and everything will fall into place.

Su: Are you sure? I don't want you hurt

Grayson: Why would I be hurt? Gideon wouldn't hurt me. It's just a talk

Su: I just worry for you. You can't trust Gideon. The people he's associating with are dangerous. What if you get hurt? or your family? Do you want that on your conscience?

Grayson: What the hell are you talking about? Gideon isn't dangerous

Su: Are you sure? The people he is working with now are dangerous

Grayson: I don't understand what you're saying. Gideon is working for someone dangerous? Who? How dangerous?

Su: I can't say but I know he is from Mt. Komorebi and they deal with shady businesses. It's not safe for you to be with Gideon. I'm worried for you Grayson. I won't be able to forgive myself if I don't let you know. Gideon isn't who he says. Think about how long he has been lying to you? Months? A year? Everything he's done has been a lie. You said it yourself you deserve better.

Gideon is literally the softest person he knows, there is no way Gideon is a killer.

Grayson: You can't just lie on him like that! This won't make me date you

Su: I don't need to lie about this. Gideon cannot be trusted, do you want to be with someone who kills with a command?

Grayson thinks back, did Gideon actually tell him what he was doing? He can't think of a time when Gideon explicitly told him his plans. He remembers late-night calls but Gideon always said it was nothing and he took it to heart. Grayson starts to get a headache

Su: Listen. Grayson if you don't believe me. Ask him yourself. I know for a fact all the men who work under Gideon's boss need to get a tattoo as a sign of loyalty. It should be on his back. Ask him. If it's not there then I won't say anything more and I'll leave you alone

Grayson: Fine! I'll ask Gideon you can't just lie on him like that!

Su: I'm just thinking about you

Grayson: DON'T touch me. I'm leaving

Watching Grayson leave, Su spots someone in the dashing into a stairwell. Interesting...everything is really working in his favour

which zb1 member would be which Disney prince,, I'm curious 🎤

Not cherrie giving me the best questions to answer 💜💜💜 when it’s literally 6am and my insomnia won’t leave me alone 😭

On principle, I find Disney’s portrayal of the princes as very shallow and gender-norm enforcing (i’m sorry I feel very strongly abt this😅) we are not fans so instead I’d probably go for what Disney princess movie fits the vibe of which member when I assign them to princes. I’m also going to be rewriting that movie as I go, sorry in advance to the purists

Pls note I’ve not great at headcanons and indecisive as hell so here we go ~

Jiwoong: The Beast/Prince Adam

If this man could play a Prince in a drama, this is the kind of content I’d pay for

Just like my hogwarts headcanon, man probably invited the sorceress to dinner and asked to be turned into a beast because everyone just liked his face

And he thought he’d be better off if someone liked his personality

Yes he asks for his servants to be turned into furniture for shit and giggles but not like permanently, maybe they all go back to normal at night

reader wonders why he always insist not that they don’t go to the west wing at night. It’s not just the rose but that’s where he and the servants go to like chill and be their human selves (this is getting a little Cupid and psyche lol)

Hao: Prince Eric (The Little Mermaid)

Just the scene of him playing his violin and mer reader listening from a distance

Sometimes they sing along while Hao is playing and Hao is like woah who dat

They probably met as kids and he gave mer reader his old violin because they were curious

Definitely have it displayed in the center of their collection

Wants to be human to hear Hao play more

Hanbin: Prince Charming (Cinderella)

If this man isn’t Prince Charming, idk who is, do not argue with me

Does not have a shoe fetish

Definitely remembers reader’s face, he just wants to return their shoe bruh

And maybe ask reader out idk, not marry them right away

Just imagine dancing with Hanbin to “So this is love” and tell me u aren’t soft

Matthew: Aladdin

For the record, the genie in that lamp would probably be Keita bc he’s been training for 10,000 years (jk)

Watch me cast the whole KTL team (except Hao idk unless we want crossover)

There’s Matthew and there’s Seok Woohyun, don’t tell me he doesn’t think those are two diff people

Just…Matthew singing a Whole New World is a song cover I didn’t think I needed until now pls and thanks

Taerae: Snow White’s Prince

For all the OG Disney fans, you know that one scene where Snow White’s singing by the well and the Prince fucking jump scares her by singing back

Yes that’s Taerae, man will take the opportunity and he has a guitar

yes he will bring the guitar

Once again watch me cast all the Wake One trainees (K+ G) and Junhyeon as the seven dwarves friends who help reader out

Ricky: Prince Naveen (Princess and the Frog)

I’m sorry my eternal headcanon is spoiled Prince Ricky and reader who puts him in his place

Would probably be a bit more sus of this voodoo man turning him into a frog

It’s probably not even a villain, it’s one of the Yuehuaz who happens to know voodoo being like oh you know what would be rlly fucking funny

He gets his whole character development arc and becomes a better young and rich, tall and handsome Prince that’s totally down bad for reader

Gyuvin: Flynn Rider (Rapunzel’s Tangled)

This man steals hearts everywhere he goes (I mean he won every challenge yo)

A lot goofy like they told him during the sleepover, he’s lucky he’s got a nice face

I haven’t got that much for this one

But energy is the same

Gunwook: Captain Shang (Mulan)

He is a leader (class pres/vice pres every year anyone?)

Dude literally takes forever to realize that reader isn’t supposed to be there (literally the en garde hidden cam)

Casting the three other Jellyfish trainees as the soldiers yo

He’s slay “Be a Man” even if I dislike the title of that song, it’s hella catchy

Yujin: Prince Philip (Sleeping Beauty)

He’s a baby YALL pls

Shy, literally just watching reader do their thing in the forest like how this boi literally watched taerae the whole signal song filming (pls see zb1’s bp commentary for red)

He’s not slaying dragons just yet but he be slaying my heart with Noona saranghaeyo

Gives reader an innocent lil peck and they wake up

Maybe it isn’t true loves kiss just yet, more like boy with pure intentions bc literally that’s equally hard to find

Ok thanks for coming to my TED talk and thanks cherrie for this very lovely question. Y’all need to keep asking me more stuff like that very much please and thanks in advance 💜💜💜

The Untamed Mind Dump (Spoilers duh)

(I have yet to read the novel for MDZS, and I am on Episode 47 of The Untamed so I want to do another mind dump like last time)

Jin Guangyao, I've been suspicious of him ever since I saw that face of his (I am not calling the actor ugly or anything like that, I can acknowledge its the acting that made him look suscpious not his actual face.) But I didn't excpect for him to be that sick of a human being.

Wei Wuxian being the scapegoat all over again

Damn these people love to gossip

I forgot about Wei Wuxian offering his Golden Core to Jiang Cheng

I miss Jiang Yanli bro

I also miss Wen Qing

At least I have Wen Ning, he is so awesome

I have the firm belief that while Wen Ning and Wei Wuxian are responsible for the death of Jin Zixuan, I know damn well Jiang Yanli's blood is not on Wei Wuxian's hands. Heck, I kind of think even though Wei Wuxian was the cause of Jin Zixuan's death, that that situation was obviously curated from the start, there was no intention to kill anyone that day because Wei Wuxian was doing this all in self defense. (Still sad that Jin Zixuan had to be a casualty).

I legit don't remember Su She before episode 45

The way I had to pause, sit up, stand up, walk around when that lady revealed Jin Guangyao tortured his father like that and what he did to Qin Su??? OH MY GOOOODDDDDDDD

Lan Wanji, you're the best supporter and best friend ever (I know in the novel he's Wei Wuxian's lover but in The Untamed their relationship is still amazing as best friends).

Wei Wuxian is such a great leader and protected those teens well (most of them are teens right? they all seemed kinda young)

I feel so bad for Jin Ling, all of his family's dirty laundry being aired out from both sides because his (defected) martial uncle is infamous for doing dirty tricks and is the supposed one who killed his parents, his maternal uncle being really hard on him, his paternal uncle being absolute scum and him doing things worse than what Wei Wuxian was ever accused for, and then to top it all off, he is constantly bullied.

To add to that, Jin Ling's outbursts are to be expected, he's just like his maternal uncle, really emotional. Jiang Cheng has had his outbursts of anger and aggressiveness (verbal and/or physical) and this could be the only way Jin Ling knows how to express himself.

At first I thought Jin Ling was an arrogant and stupid spoiled brat but I just want to hug this poor kid, the trauma of not having his parents and knowing that they died brutal deaths, the bullying, just everything. Just let him have a nice and warm blanket while snuggling with Fairy for once, please?

Speaking of Fairy, can people stop threatening the dog please? Like, they're such a good boy/girl (Netflix subtitles swapped them at somepoint from he to she and then it so I have no idea).

I WAS CRYING WHEN LAN SIZHUI STARTED TO REMEMBER HIS PAST AND THEN WEN NING WAS TRYING TO CATCH UP WITH HIM BRUH I WAS UGLY CRYING, SOBBING, THEY'RE FAMILY, THEY DESERVE TO SPEND TIME TOGETHER, THE LAST OF THE WEN FAMILY AAAA

I am such a sucker for reunited families, families with close bonds, found families, I don't know why, but it strikes me in the heart in such a painful and joyful way.

Zewu Jun, I always have mad respect for this man and I understand how he needs to make his own judgement and not only trust the words of others, I just can't blame him for that. But man was I afraid that he betrayed everyone by actually being 100% on Jin Guangyao's side knowing everything he did in episode 46, but he looked as confused and weirded out as ever so thankfully he isn't on his side anymore, I love this dude, I'm his biggest supporter.

I'll make each of these things their own post because I have so much more I want to say.

7 | Christmas Bam

Series: Odds Together

Paring: Ryan Dunn x OFC Margera!

Word Count: 1.5k

Warnings: None

| MASTERLIST |

~

"What you doing?" Ryan opens my door to my room as I sat on my bed watching a holiday movie.

"What does it look like Dunn?" I whine never getting time alone.

"Do you want to come help or watch everyone put up Christmas decorations?" He gives me a smile shimming his shoulder.

"Why not. Let me change and I'll meet you outside." I sigh getting out of bed making him leave all happy.

"All these get duct taped to the house." I hear Tim tells the group.

"Duct tape?" I join them carefully standing by Ryan as he holds an axe. "What do you even need that for?" I look at him.

He shrugs his shoulders, "I can't just hold it?" He chuckles so I shake my head no. "Fine, I'll put it away." He does exactly that.

"Nice for you to join us for once." Rabb comes up next to me.

"Ryan asked nicely so here I am."

"Ryan you actually got her to come out here? I'm impressed." Rabb laughs as Ryan walks back so he shoves him back. I move out of the way so he trips back and falls in the containers. "That was fucked up dude." He laughs.

"Let's just decorate." I go towards the truck to help out for awhile till I was done with what I was helping with.

"Look what I found." Rabb shows up with a mistletoe holding it up so I run away. "Anna, come on! One little kiss." I hear him shout while chuckling.

"What it there speedy." Ryan laughs as I run into him inside the house.

"Sorry. Rabb found a mistletoe and wants a little kiss." I look behind me to make sure he wasn't nearby.

"I'll keep you safe for him." He moves me behind him as Rabb comes in. "You want a little kiss? Come here." Ryan puckers his lips making Rabb toss the mistletoe aside.

"I'm good." He goes to where Bam was in the kitchen with our dad.

"You're a lifesaver, Ry." I go pick up the mistletoe so Rabb can't get it later to try again.

"Anytime." He goes to the kitchen as well while I go find my mother.

We both talk about how annoying Bam is but she appreciates how he's decorating for Christmas and she doesn't have to this time. "I'm so glad you're back home." She gives me a big hug. "I really am. I have my baby back."

"I thought your baby was Bam."

"But you're my baby baby." She lets go of me as the guys install the fake ice and she goes to the kitchen.

I see Dunn doing snow angels so I walk over bending down beside him, "You know even on real ice you can't make snow angels. Hints why they're called Snow Angels." I laugh at him as he lays there looking at me.

"You're such a party pooper. You know that right?"

"I know." I smile standing back up so he puts his arms up so I can pull him up. "I'm gonna head to my room before the other people Bam invited over gets here." I turn to head for the stairs but Ryan spins me back to face him.

"Why do you always just go off to be alone?"

"I like to be alone." I laugh. "It's pretty simple and obvious. I'm just not one of gatherings. I helped decorate like you asked me... I'm done down so I'm clocking out."

"Fine, if you wanna we that way."

"I do. Bye bye." I pat his cheek leaving to go to my room.

"You're missing out on all the fun." Ryan opens my door.

"I'm gonna need to get a lock because of you. You know, Dunn, you come into my room to bug me more than my brother does."

"I just also wanted to add we're about to cover the house in snow." He gives me a look maki g me jump out of bed and rush past him to go outside.

While Bam and Ryan go to hold the hose to spread the ice, Rabb, Dico, and I play in the snow. Ryan hold the hose to spay all the snow in me so I start to throw snow balls at him and the guys join me.

"Your aim is good." Ryan joins me as I stand off to the side taking a break. "Hit me in the dick twice." He says making me laugh.

"That's good because I couldn't see shot while you blasted snow at me." I laugh before Ryan leaves me to help Rake with ammo.

I rejoin the snowball fight and even mom ends up joining making her Bam's target. Suddenly I get hit in the ass with one causing me to turn around and see Ryan smiling. I stare at him before chasing him around and we do this back and forth playing around. While running around Ryan trips on something doing down so I go attack him.

"Timeout." He whines.

"No timeouts you baby." I stop anyways then get knocked down as he trips me. "You're an ass." I lay next to him before getting up with him.

"Draw?" He puts his hand out.

"Fine." We shake on it.

Seeing the pay off was good but when they brought out the big sky lights was too much. "I don't think this is legal." I tell Ryan.

"He can pay for the ticket." Ryan says back as we look at the lights.

"Privilege." I shake my head.

"I had fun today and I'm glad you had fun too." Ryan says as we walk back towards the house.

"Who said I had fun? I could have been acting for the cameras."

"I know you weren't though because you haven't in the past so why would you suddenly now." He says as we get inside while everyone was outside.

"You know me so well Dunn." I spin around on the fake ice floor fast.

"Why was the mistletoe in you jacket pocket?" Ryan picks it up after it fell out.

"Didn't want Rabb getting it again."

"Well I have it now." He holds it up chuckling walking towards me then stops in front of me.

"Okay and?" I raise an eyebrow.

"Where's my little kiss?" He asks so I kiss him on the cheek.

"That's all your getting from me buddy. The other Margera twin will kiss you in the lips." I smile heading towards my room done for the night.

It was pretty late and everyone was as still outside having fun while laid in my dark room but I got bored so I put some sweats on and a jacket heading downstairs. I see the crew filming three ice fishing making me shake my head watching them.

"You hungry? I know I'm hungry. I may be speaking for myself here but this is getting here god damn ridiculous." Ryan tells Vito making me silently laugh and more as he starts to whistle to the ice. "Vito bite! Vito bite. Bite Vito. Come on! Just bite that line!" He holds the fishing pole out at him.

"You might need a better pole to reel Vito in that little thing isn't going to do shit." I speak up.

"She's right." Vito gets up leaving the room so Ryan stops and comes over to me.

"I thought you went to bed?"

"I got bored." I shiver as a gust of wind hits me as the door was open so Ryan puts his hat on my head.

"The hat isn't going to do much but thank you. You catch any fish?" I look over at the fake ice hole.

"Not yet. Vito was scaring them away." He goes to sit back on his bunk alone. He ends up motioning for me to come over so I take Vito's old seat. "A beer?" Ryan holds one out to me so I take it.

"So what's your trick to catch your fish?" I play along with him even though it was just the two of us in the room.

"Sing and they will come." He says making me laugh.

"You don't scare them away with your singing? I'm surprise."

"Watch this." He starts to try to do opera then acts like he catch a fish. "Oh, it's a big one." He starts to reel it in acting like he caught a big fish. "Look at this bad boy." He holds up his fish.

"You proved me working Fisherman Dunn. That's a huge boy." I laugh with him drinking my beer. "All jokes aside thank you." I tell him.

"For what?"

"Always trying to get me to take part in things to have fun. Like said earlier, I had fun today. Since being back home you've made so things fun and enjoyable for me. Even when it doesn't seem like it." I tell him truthfully.

"I glad to do so. You're welcomed. I'm happy your back. I missed you a lot and I never told anyone that."

I scoot closer to him and give him a hug, "I missed you you."

1. They don't smile/laugh often, but when they finally do, you feel your heart skip a beat

This prompt with Sebastian? Also, I love the idea of them visiting Zuzu City together, if that would fit. I love your writing so much! Thank you for entertaining all of us with your wonderful skills~ you’re the best!

I thought I'd struggle with this but I LOVED it <3

and you flatter me, seriously. I appreciate you though!

Amelia pulled her cardigan a little tighter around her, not having expected the chill to be quite so intense. She turned the corner toward the bus, eyes falling on the only figure there so far. Sebastian stood against a tree, exhaling a breath of smoke from his half-spent cigarette. He always typically wore the same outfit combination: black or grey jeans (that hugged in places Amelia thought quite nice, but would never admit), his old chucks, and a hoodie so well loved that it was hard to tell if it was originally black or a dark violet hue. The cuffs at the ends of the sleeves had started to fray, giving him another thing to distract himself with when not quite invested in a conversation. 

His hair seemed a little shorter, not quite as dramatically covering his face. He ran his fingers back through the long side of his hair, clearly annoyed with the new length. Amelia got a good view of his face for a moment, taking a mental note that he was genuinely attractive (not that she'd ever actually do anything about the thought).

They'd really only hung out a few times at the saloon or by the river with Sam. Otherwise, he was pretty secluded. 

He finished his cigarette as she approached, giving a small wave. Abby and Sam must have been running behind. 

As if on cue, both of their phones dinged at the same time. She fished her phone out, reading over the message from Sam in the group chat:

Sam 8:43 am: Don't hate me. Mom's making me watch Vince today since she's sick. :(

Amelia frowned, her phone dinging once more as she started to type out a reply. 

Abigail 8:44 am: dude I feel like shit. Let's all go next week, k?

Amelia responded in affirmation, though decided to go today as well. She paid for her ticket, so she was going to use it. 

"Let me guess," Sebastian spoke up, snapping her out of her thoughts, "one or both of them bailed."

She slipped her phone into her pocket, frowning, "I'm guessing this happens a lot, huh?"

He looked at her as if that much was obvious. She looked down at her shoes, "I'm still going to go. There are a few places I miss and I really want to wander. Did you still want to come?"

His eyebrow raised, arms crossed over his chest, "yeah, I didn't wake up this early for a stroll."

She laughed and gave a small nod, "you're welcome to come with me if you want to hang out."

It felt like a silly thing to say. The implication that they weren't going to hang out rang back through her head. He seemed to ponder for a minute though. 

"Sure. I don't know any good places and you lived here recently," he shrugged,  glancing as he watched Pam turn into the bus stop and head toward her station. 

The two provided their tickets and were off to the city. Amelia was a bit more nervous than she was previously. 

Amelia loved hanging out with the three of them. She and Abigail became close quickly, acting as each other's girl best friend in the most stereotypical way. Sam, on the other hand, had become close to Amelia as well. It was known that he had a bit of a crush on her, always following her around like a puppy whenever she did anything. It didn't help that he was an affectionate friend, constantly hugging or leaning on whoever he was with. Most often when they all hung out, he'd be on her. 

Sebastian was different. She never saw him laugh or genuinely let himself smile. Every time he seemed to find something funny, it was always a restrained smile, like he would get in trouble if he did. 

She sat in the row across from him, sneaking peeks at him every so often over her tablet. She often liked to do sketches of her surroundings. Sometimes, she'd sketch her friends doing silly things or when they'd be laughing. She liked to think she was pretty good and only getting better. 

She was sketching Sebastian now, his headphones in, one leg up on the seat as he moved his fingers along to the music. His head lay back against the seat, his hood pulled over his head. She smiled to herself, the hood failing to cover most of his head, ruffling his hair in different ways. He seemed so calm and collected. 

She watched his fingers curiously for a moment. They were long and slender, but they weren't tapping along to a drum beat.. they seemed to be playing the piano. She shook her head, feeling dumb for overanalyzing something so silly. 

Still, once she finished the sketch of him, she focused on his hand. He had a dark ring on his thumb and a second on his pointer finger. She had seen him tap them together every so often. She was most interested in the small symbol he had tattooed on the soft spot beside his thumb. It seemed so familiar, but she couldn't put her finger on it. 

She loved tattoos. She had twelve of her own, including one in the same space as his. An old symbol from a video game on one hand with a simple d20 on the other. 

As she was adding some shading to his hoodie, the bus came to a halt. 

"We're here. Be back by ten if you're not stayin'," Pam called, pointing at Amelia, "you got my number, kid. Call if you're late coming back."

Amelia chuckled, "sure."

Sebastian pulled his headphones out, arching his eyebrow, "everyone in town seems to love you, huh?" 

For some odd reason, that made her blush. She gave him a small shrug and headed off the bus with him in tow. 

"I guess not many people dislike me.." she sighed, "but I was a bit of a kiss-ass when I moved in."

Seb smiled his restrained smile before pulling out a cigarette, "Alright, Ames," he lit the cigarette, "show me what I have to look forward to in Zuzu."

She smiled up at him before heading in the direction of her favorite café. They made it through most of the day without an issue. Around 3 pm, she gasped, reaching over to touch his arm in excitement before pulling her hand away, "sorry! I just.. that store over there," she pointed to a store not too different from a comic book store as Sebastian, confused by the outburst, followed her gesture, "I went there all of the time! They sell all kinds of stuff for TTRPGs and minis and-" she stopped, looking up at him in horror, "oh Yoba, I've revealed my nerd side."

Sebastian looked like he got shocking news and then was told a hilarious joke. His smile was a little wider this time, though still held back. The small smile lit up his face, making her somehow feel lighter for a moment. He was actually pretty cute..

She snapped out of it, going to speak. But he finally responded, "Sam and I play Solarian Chronicles every weekend. Sometimes more," his small smile turned into a smirk, sending a strange pang of electricity through her. He held out his hand for a moment. She was confused until she noticed the d20 tattooed on his hand as well.

She laughed out loud, her eyebrows arching, "dude, a Nat 1? Why?"

His expression turned proud, "dunno, just seemed like the roll I got. Not to mention chaos usually ensues with nat 1s."

She laughed before holding her own hand out, the d20 nat 20 there in front of him. He seemed like he was a mix of confused and shocked, "how… no fucking way."

"Right? How haven't I noticed?" She beamed up at him, wondering if the pink in his cheeks was from the cold or the similar tattoos, "hey, wanna check it out? I'll buy you a set of dice."

They started to cross the street as he spoke, "yes to checking it out, but you don't have to buy me anything."

She turned, flashing him a smile, "as thanks for hanging out today despite my weird, random ass tour," she thought for a second, "or would you like a mini?"

"Ames…"

"Keep it up and I'll get you multiples of both."

He rolled his eyes and resigned, opening the door for her. She smiled and stepped in, thanking him quietly. 

"Well, if it isn't Anelai of Thedas!"

She shot Sebastian a look, " not a word," she mumbled, the look on his face showing a genuine struggle not to mess with her. 

"Grenar! It's been so long," she called back, cheeks no doubt red as hell. 

"You've brought a friend, I see. Could he be the reason you left us in such a hurry?"

Oh, no. 

"Oh, no, Gren. This is-"

Sebastian rest a hand on her shoulder, "you can call me Serran," he glanced down at Amelia who seemed shell shocked, "a pleasure to meet you."

The man laughed loudly, the sound feeling a little like home to Amelia. Blushing, Amelia made her way to the dice wall, staring blankly at it for a long moment before Sebastian spoke, making her jump. 

"This is.. an impressive amount of dice," he kept his voice low, just between them. Noticing her jump, he furrowed his brow, "I wasn't trying to be weird back there.. I'm sorry."

She turned to look up at him, shaking her head, "no, no! That was awesome. The name is awesome, by the way. I just.. he threw me off, I guess," her voice grew small. 

"You can talk to me later if you want, no pressure," he paused, smirking, " Anelai."

She huffed and started looking through the dice picking out one set made from obsidian. She looked over at Sebastian, who seemed to be focused on one bag while in deep thought. Snapping out of it, he stepped away, turning to go look at the minis. 

Amelia stepped forward, following where his gaze had led. There was a set of dice carved from frozen tears. They were stunning and had a small glow to them. She picked them up, the packaging feeling oddly cold to the touch. Without so much as looking at the price, she tucked it away under her own so he wouldn't see. 

They spent almost an hour in the store, perusing books, minis, and everything they could possibly need to play. Sebastian bought a dice tower, refusing to let Amelia pay for it. Gren had winked at her before pulling a matching dice tray for it. The best part is it all went well together with the dice as well. Seb stepped outside to smoke, Green whistling as she set the dice on the counter. 

"Oh, you can't tell me you don't like this boy, Anelai," he rang everything up, typing into the register as he went. He saw her start to protest before holding up the dice that he was placing in an intricate wooden box, "you don't buy guys you're simply friends with dice for 200g. And a dice tray on top of it."

"Oh… well, I do. His birthday passed recently and now it's Winter Star. It's a good present."

"Alright, alright," he handed her the drawstring pouch that came with large purchases, "why did you run off anyway?"

Amelia just stared at him, not sure how to answer. She doesn't tell anyone. 

Sebastian had just come in and approached the counter beside her, sensing the tension. 

"Hey, we should grab food. I'm starving,” the smile he offered the man behind the counter would seem kind-hearted or professional, but in reality, Amelia could tell it was forced. It looked wrong with his features. She gathered her bag and muttered her goodbyes before heading toward the door. 

She couldn't really tell him why she left in fear of her old friends reaching out to her, thus making it easier for her ex to find her. 

“Thanks for that. Got a little blindsided,” she smiled up at him apologetically. It was obvious that he was fairly deep in thought. 

She directed him to the next block before they turned into a small, mildly crowded coffee shop. She swore to him that their sandwiches and coffee were to die for, but he honestly didn't care what it was. He was starving. They both went to sit at a table by the window, nursing their coffees and dinner. 

“So, where else were you wanting to go before we go back?” she hummed, hand over her mouth before she grabbed a napkin to wipe any crumbs away. 

“I don't know, honestly,” he turned, staring out of the window for a long moment before turning back to his plate, “I heard there's a Tiny Middle somewhere on this end of the city, are we close?” 

She smiled, nodding as she placed her now empty coffee cup down, “totally. It’s only like two blocks away.”

He paused for a long moment, studying her face before speaking up, “you know it really well. I’m guessing you lived here for a long time.”

She nodded, a half-hearted smile spread over her lips, which quickly faded as he asked his question. 

“Why would you leave here for Pelican Town?” He hesitated for a long moment, watching as her face slid through emotions like a presentation. He frowned, nudging her foot with his, “you don’t have to answer if it’s hard to talk about it. I completely understand.”

She looked over his face, noting the sincerity and genuine kindness.

“No one in town knows, so don’t choose now to go all gossip column on me,”

He laughed aloud then, the sound sending tiny shockwaves through her whole being. She ignored them the best she could as she spoke, toying with a small paper napkin. 

“I was dating this guy who was.. well one of the men who owns Joja.”

Both his eyebrows shot up in surprise before she gave a small nod, “he was sweet, I guess. But he started to get super into work and would get furious every so often and…”

Before she could continue, he shook his head and downed the rest of his coffee. 

“Hey, let’s get going to Tiny Middle, yeah?”

She stared up at him, confused for a moment before it clicked. He was protecting her from having to relive it. He was changing the subject on purpose for sake. As she stood, he grabbed their trash to toss on the way out, not looking up, “and I’m sorry it even happened.” 

He stepped past her, the tone of his voice having sounded genuinely apologetic, though there was venom behind his words, though she suspected it wasn’t directed toward her. 

Together they made their way to the electronics store, Sebastian walking in slowly as they arrived. He was in awe, his eyes lighting up as the corners of his lips curled into a smile. The jolts from before littered her abdomen, her cheeks dusted red at the fact. 

“I know you code, but you like building PCs and everything too?”

He turned, looking at her briefly before walking toward the monitor section. 

“A bit, yeah,” he started, “I’ve never built one from case to complete, but I’d love to someday.”

Without a second thought she smiled brightly, “you could build me one,” when he looked at her with confusion, she laughed quietly, “my dinky little laptop can hardly play solitaire.”

He smiled to himself as if he was sharing a private joke with himself. 

They spent the rest of their evening shopping through parts around the store as he explained each one to the best of his ability.

They got to an area where even Sebastian was clueless, though he used it to his advantage, teasing her, “oh that's a slippery whippet.”

She nodded for a moment, confused as to what the hell it actually was before she looked up at him, a smirk playing at her lips. She huffed and gave him a gentle shove, “oh, you jerk. Taking advantage of my cluelessness.”

Sebastian actually laughed at that, the sound nearly causing her to gasp. It was a beautiful sound, making her heart beat in double time.

Still, she rolled her eyes. She couldn't just say that she loved the sound of his laugh without being a huge creep. 

They went on like this until they needed to run back to the bus, Amelia laughing as they got there, a genuine smile on his lips as they both caught their breath. She cursed herself for blushing. It made no sense. 

She climbed on the but and exhaled as she took her seat once more. Sebastian hesitated at their row before sitting in the one beside her. 

A light rush of butterflies hit her then as she smiled over at him. He set his bags in the seat across the aisle, “is this okay? Or do you want to be left alone?”

She bumped his leg with hers, offering a reassuring smile, “of course it’s okay,” she hummed before she sat up straighter, excited, “oh! I got you something!”

He frowned as he watched her dig out the faux velvet drawstring bag before holding the whole thing to her chest, “okay, close your eyes.”

Sebastian did, though obviously very nervous. She put the dice tray in his hands, admiring his face for a moment before snapping out of it, “okay, open them!”

He did, looking closely at the tray, running his fingers over the delicate leather, “I didn’t even see this.. it matches my tower…” his voice was soft. After a moment he looked over at her, “it’s really awesome, and thank you,  but you really didn’t need to get anything for me. 

She smiled brightly at him, catching him off-guard, “there are a lot of things I don’t have to do. I wanted to get you that. And…” she pulled the intricate box from the bag and offered it, “this.”

He furrowed his brows and hesitantly took it, running his fingers over the wood of the box as he had the tray, “it holds a set of dice, right?”

“It does, indeed. Open it!” She urged, excited to see his reaction. 

He complied, opening the box. The soft glow of the dice reflected on his face as the lights from the bus faded. He froze, just staring at them for what felt like a year. After a moment, she reached over to gently touch his arm. 

“Seb, if you don’t like them…” 

His gaze snapped to her, eyes wide as he cut her off, “No! It’s just…” he paused, touching the cool surface of one of the d20, “these are my favorite.. how did you know?”

She pulled her hand back, offering a genuine smile, “I saw you looking at them. And before you yell at me, I know the cost and I don’t care. Everyone deserves a good pair of dice.”

He smiled at her then, small and full of thanks. It nearly took her breath away to see, not an ounce of the suppressed smile or sadness behind his eyes. Just him. And he was smiling at her.

“I don’t even know what to say, Ames.”

She smiled in return, trying and failing to regain control of her racing heart, “invite me to play sometime and we’ll call it even.”

He laughed quietly, the sparks inside of her reigniting with new energy. 

Oh, I’m in HUGE trouble…

He told her about why he liked the frozen tear so much and where his campaign lies at the moment. She hung on to every word, the fact that he was so talkative blowing her mind. She found herself disappointed as the bus came to a stop. 

They took their time gathering their things and heading off the bus. He offered to walk her back, wanting to take the mountain path home anyway. 

She couldn’t have declined if she wanted to. 

“We meet again next week on Tuesday,” he added as they approached her front porch, “you really should come.”

She smiled and nodded, “I wouldn’t miss it, Serran ,” she teased, bringing back that incredible smirk of his. 

“Good. There’s always a place at our table for Anelai of Thedas.” 

She felt the blood rushing to her cheeks as he turned to head out. 

“Hey, Seb?” She called after him, who turned immediately, brows raised in response, “I meant to ask. Was the city everything you thought it’d be?”

He seemed to contemplate for a moment, biting his lower lip and looking south for a second in thought. 

“Yeah, it’s cool, I guess,” he turned, smiling at her one last time for the night, “although I’m starting to think Pelican Town might be worth staying in.”

With that, he turned and started walking toward the path. Her mouth hung open in shock. 

There’s no way he meant…

“Why is that?” She called after him, his laugh echoing in response. 

“G’night, Ames.”

[simm-mouse]

It's finally here! I've said before that I'm separating them into parts. I'm going to make it two, since there will be three more sims after this. I want to get the family with the most kids out the way first. Imagine this with three more sims, jeez. Took me a bit because I redesigned them for my drawings, so that is the reason why they look different from their in game counterparts

Tycho:

°He's the best at calming anyone down, so he's usually the one that'll break up a fight, and handle breakdowns between his sisters when their parents aren't home(Lilibet tries as well, but it's not as effective as when Tycho does it)

°A very smart independent dude, likes to work on things on his own. Which makes him not want to ask for help even when he needs it, as he doesn't like depending on others. Though he'll be told that it's okay to have others help you

°Almost Lazlo 2.0, nice silly chill dude

°Can't cook to save his life, he has burned food three times in my game. Also has no interest in food so he doesn't like to do it anyway. Lilibet would cook food if their parents aren't home. However, if she's not home he'll order some pizza

°Has interest in music, film, games, science, and travel

°Loves to play the drums, he's been thinking of forming a band

°Can easily make friends from his chill attitude, but likes to have his own small group of friends to hand out with

Lilibet:

°Pretty cautious, it'll take her a bit to get her used to something new

°Tends to overthink a lot of the time. If someone doesn't get her out of her head, she'll eventually end up having a nervous breakdown

°Says that she's a science baby whenever she's asked about how she was made(Though she's not wrong, but not in the usual way). Doesn't like to talk about it beyond that(Estella finds this sus, and tries to get her to say more about it. It never works)

°At first glance, she looks like she comes off as cold and distant, but she's known as the nice sister, almost as nice as her brother (Hella surprising considering who her parents are, yeah Pascal is nicer than Nerv but he's in the middle of grouchy and nice. So he can be a little spicy manlet sometimes if annoyed). She just can't help it with her resting monotonous face, especially with the dead ass eyes she got from Nervous. You'd have to know how to push her buttons to get her mad at you. Also used to being seen as a weirdo, so she only hangs out with Violet(Whenever she comes home and brings a friend over, it's always Violet. It's cute that she sees her cousin as her best friend, but also sad that she doesn't have any friends outside family members)

°Loves to tinker, and is the family mechanic if anything breaks around the house. Tends to make stuff at the workbench in her free time. A bit of a perfectionist, as she has very high standards for the stuff she makes at the workbench. Sometimes her breakdowns are from her feeling unable to make something "good enough" for her standards due to her overthinking

°Has interest in mechanical, music, literature, science, and travel

Jeanette "Jeannie":

°Biological parents are Penelope Redd and Giuseppi Mezzoalto(Both from the Sims Urbz, handheld versions), The result of a one night stand. Placed for adoption at age 2(Penelope was unable to take care of her due to her job. She was upset about it, but hoped she'd have a better home. Jeannie however sees it as abandonment, and resents her), and was in and out of foster homes up until she was 4 when she was adopted by Pas and Nerv

°Kitty 2.0 personality wise(No joke, they have the exact same personality), but have different interests (They only share interest in crime, and health)

°Interested in the abnormal, likes to explore around town and find weird shit(Sometimes with Estella)

°Also has interests in literature, music, travel, and film

°Very hot headed, gets into fights at school and argues with Estella a lot of the time. Somehow has a small group of friends she hangs out with

Estella:

°Biological parents are Misty Waters and Eddie Renalin(Both from the Sims Urbz, handheld versions), as a result of an accidental pregnancy before the two broke up for a final time. Placing her up for adoption was planned before her birth. Was adopted by Pas and Nerv 3 years later(Knows who her parents are. Doesn't give a shit about them, she already has parents who love her)

°The most social of all of them, knows almost everyone. However that doesn't mean she has a good reputation. Her friendships with others are complicated

°Extremely nosy, would listen in on anybody's conversation that's near her. She'd hide too if she's shooed off. She'd go up on the roof and use a telescope or binoculars to look around town to spot anything sus(Gonna be the shover of the new generation, Vidcund would be proud). She's the reason anyone looks around to see if she's there before telling anyone a secret

°Likes to annoy Jeannie, because she finds it funny how angry she gets(Estella has tried to with Lilibet and Tycho, to see what makes them tick too. So far it hasn't worked. Both of them know what she's doing, and are not falling for it)

°Interested in literature, film, travel, and fashion

Maeve:

°Biological parents are Diva Roma and Jimmy Two-Shoes(Both from the Sims Urbz, console versions) as a result of a short fling between the two. Placing her up for adoption was planned before her birth(Just like Estella). Was also in and out of foster homes, adopted by Pas and Nerv around the age of 5(Doesn't know who her parents are, Estella does but she won't tell her. How she learned about this information, who knows. She works in mysterious ways)

°Known as the shy sibling of the group, Doesn't really like to talk to anyone outside of the family(Except for one random sim that she invited over once, I think considers him a friend)

°An animal lover, tries to bring home any animal she finds outside and asks if they can keep it(Which is always a no)

°Nicer than Estella and Jeannie, but not by much. Annoyed by her sisters bickering all the time, sometimes tells them to shut up and will end up being part of the argument too

°Interested in sports, film, games, and painting

I'm letting you know now for those who haven't seen one of my previous posts. Tycho is the only one besides Johnny that's a boy. My game wants girls in Strangetown, No matter what I do. It's like a one in a million chance I get a boy. So after this there will be three more girls. Luckily my Nervous has overcome his fear of women, because I don't know how he would survive four daughters. Especially when most of them aren't very nice. Honestly he's also a reason why they're still like that. You can encourage your kids to be nice or not in two, so it's not like he's concerned about their behavior. The man has no nice points at all, he has been banned from stores, he'd probably be fine with what they're doing for the most part. Also I don't think he's the type of parent that would discipline. However it's not like they don't get in trouble, Pascal is the one that would scold them, he ain't letting shit fly. He said to not go out and look for bigfoot, and look what you did. Went out anyway. What did he say about having a coyote in the house? They belong outside

It's not always peaceful at the house, but everyone loves and cares for each other deeply. Though the younger sisters fight, they ain't letting anyone insult them. You can't blackmail my sister, that's my job!

[arcplaysgames]

okay so I was kinda right about Medjed! is that another victory in my column or not? hm

After sleeping for I think 22 days, Futaba wakes up and gets to counterhacking the hackers.

Reverie and Morgana get bored and start cleaning up her room while she works.

Reverie got them skills. I still want an AU where he's a housespouse who moonlights as a cat burglar, if the fandom hasn't written a dozen of them, what the fuck have they been doing.

gurl, we need to get you some vitamin c and iron, holy shit. i hope you like edamame and oranges, it's all your eating for the next week.

Does anyone else think this voice actor does NOT fit this character, or is it just me? It's a constant distraction.

Aw he looks nice. What horrific creative crimes has he committed?

I finally belatedly noticed that the Palaces are all built around one of the deadly sins. "Arc, how could you not notice--" deadly sins are dumb, it's not in my authorial wheelhouse, blah blah. so anyway we did Lust, Vanity, Gluttony.... then the Thieves call out Futaba's sloth in the calling card, but she's actually associated with Wrath? Which is confusing. That means our options are.... uh. /googles.

Envy, Sloth, and Greed.

If the Final Boss is, like, the dude positioning to be the future Prime Minister, then I would say he should be Greed? Greed for power? But who even knooooows.

OKAY SO I WAS KINDA RIGHT! She was Medjed! But it's basically Anonymous, it's a placeholder name for anyone who wants to use it. Yeah 'cause that always goes well.

looks worriedly at Morgana

Beige Boy shows up to sass Sae some more and

squints at these dialogue boxes

You know what I'm interested in seeing? I figure Akechi is gonna join the Thieves in some capacity at some point, it's being set up pretty aggressively. What interests me is whether we will see his persona awakening or if he'll already have a persona when he joins.

'Cause like.... Okay I'm pretty sure Akechi knows the Thieves aren't behind the mental shutdowns. I'm 70% sure. Ergo:

There is a 70% chance that Akechi is the black masked guy in the Metaverse causing the mental shutdowns.

Or there is a 30% chance that Akechi is being played by someone he trusts, who is giving him bad information re: the mental shutdowns. Which... would dovetail nicely into him joining the crew, actually, if they uncovered the true culprit and Akechi (like his Detective Prince predecessor) swapped sides to the Thieves upon realizing they're the only people who can stop the true perpetrator.

Actually, that would be an incredibly tidy bit of writing, I'm gonna say its 50/50.

He's still sus as fuck 24/7/365 though.

hello i am here for the Futaba and Sojiro Show

Also Sojiro fucking drops the fact that his curry recipe was from Wakaba. He made her curry once and she was so intrigued, she asked for information on how to make it, then returned to Sojiro with a refined, scientifically reinforced recipe, and that's the one Sojiro still uses.

I love Sojiro, what the fuck.

BITCH JUST TELL ME WHO YOU PUSHED YOUR FUCKING MALWARE APK TO AND SAVE ME THE TIME, I KNOW IT WAS YOU.

Makoto has this whole plan to basically give Futaba's interpersonal skills a workout until she's a little more able to handle Thief-y work, but of course Futaba latches onto Yusuke, because she has excellent taste and they are both kindred weirdos.

oh yeah you guys are gonna be besties, i can tell

She also keeps putting on a big costume head when she gets nervous, which is an interesting literalization of "masking" I guess.

I have no intelligent commentary, I just like that when Futaba whines at Sojiro here, he stops and assesses the situation, deems it harmless, and goes back to what he was doing. There's no doubt he'd jump in to help if needed, but also I think Futaba is just the time to simper and tug at his attention because both of them enjoy that. It's very good, I like it.

Also, again: Futaba's VA choice is so fucking good. Love it.

Next up is a beach trip and I cannot imagine it beating P4G's incredible beach vacation, but we shall enter it with open hearts and open eyes.

[caitkaminski]

Can't believe I'm saying this but this season has been progressing nicely. It was kind of slow and somewhat lacking but the more I play, the more excited I get. I even look forward to new updates every week ugh this is such a struggle I'm torn between disliking fusebox and liking this season 😂💀

This CA is enjoyable so far! But maybe I set my standard too low after ex in the villa, that's why this season seems better LOL

Personally I like Hamish, he's so rude but kind of hilarious? What a dork 😂

Francis is sweet (ish) but he reminds me of a certain someone who owns a food truck named Cocktails and Cronuts lol

Marshall omg LOVE THE DESIGN but damn he is laying it THICK! Grace will definitely bring him into the main villa, if MC decides to stick or pick someone else. Also dude, siblings fight and hold grudges but I won't badmouth my own sibling to other people. He's definitely Bitter with Ozzy hmm very sus

Andy oh man Ryan who?? Elliot who?? I don't know them 🤷‍♀️ I actually like Marshall before but man I am a changed woman. He's hot, nice AND a vet????? I just hope fusebox won't ruin his character when he gets to the main villa 🥲

(If anyones judging me for doing Ryan route, dont worry I'm judging myself here LOL I actually like the character at first but HE IS SO CRINGY NOW UGHH I regret not choosing Lewie and now he's gone in my current playthrough 😭 will deffo play loyal Lewie route next time!)

Omg this rant ask turned out pretty long, soz didn't expect that 😂

After all this long ass rant, what's your thought on CA boys?

omg pls don’t apologise for a long rant, i love chats about pixel boys so you’re gonna get a long reply. If only we were doing it over brunch or something 😂

ok SO, the casa boys are really funny!

like I love the banter they all have with each other and they’ve all got different personalities?! I’m shocked!! it might end up being a Johnny/Nicolas situation where they completely change in the main villa, but we’ll see!

Im actually really enjoying the season too and I really love how everyone can make their mc’s so different both personality and looks wise

As for the casa boys. None have really caught my eye 😭 I thought for a minute hamish would because yeah he’s dorky and funny. But then we got the bacon kiss and it’s a firm no from me.

Francis surprised me. We guessed EXACTLY how he’d be. Like spot on. Gross with the pee comments. But he really just is there for vibes (and maybe a roof to sleep under bc he has no house)

Marshall, I’m undecided by. He’s hot as hell and the Marshall/ozzy dynamic gives me the Salvatore brothers a lil. But he does lay in on thick and I’m not a fan of that.

And then there’s Andy 🥰 what a sweetie. I’ve always said someone needs a job as a vet. I know I’m a Lewie Stan but something about Andy is too sweet for me. Not to mention he looks 15 and I feel icky.

So yes, I will be running back to the main villa single if they let me. Ready to be hurt by pixel boys already.

Hils Watches Oh No! Here Comes Trouble - Ep 6

Okay, I don't know much about road infrastructure or Taiwanese law but if that many people have been killed and injured just in one month maybe you need to close that bit of road. How has no one sued them?

These cases are all so interesting! This one is the manifestation of prayers to keep children safe on the dangerous bit of road

I love him! He's so delighted by all the weird stuff that's happening. Total opposite of Pu Yiyong who is mostly grumpy about it

Oh no she left the bus camera footage on her desktop where anyone (Pu Yiyong) could find it.

It's been bothering me where I know him from. It's Yin Chen from LORD: Critical World! Aww I miss that drama.

So the ghost child latched onto a man who was grieving the death of his own son who died on that bit of road. Yeah, this one is going to have me sobbing I can already tell

LOL their outraged faces! And Pu Yiyong looks so pleased.

Aww pep talk from a spirit. That's nice.

This is why you always lock your computer when you leave your desk, kids. Otherwise a spirit might go and look up someone's address.

You can't be surprised at this point, surely

Oh my god it's like they're on a date while following that dude

It's his first time at an amusement park. LET HIM HAVE A STICKER! Look at his sad little face.

This is too cute I'm dying

This is like half-date half-grumpy dad taking his kid on a day trip

I love that Cao Guangyan's dad doesn't even blink when he said he skipped class to go to an amusement park, but the fact that it's with Pu Yiyong

Nooooo.....he put the thing Pu Yiyong won for him on his bag. MY HEART.

God, not only was Cao Guangyan's dad not mad that his son skipped school to go to an amusement park, he was relieved because his son was doing normal teenager things.

You Have A Lot of Nerve 1

Times passed and it was time for the Reeves Siblings to head back home and celebrate Xaivers bday! Another year older Xavier is happy to celebrate his bday with his family and some unexpected friends!

Excited to be another year older (I wanna say 13/14?) closes his eyes and makes his birthday wish "I wish nothing changes and everything stays the same!"

Blair: What did you wish for hun?

Xavier: If I tell you then it won't come true!

Celebration is cut short when everyone hears a knock at the door

Vaughan: Surprise! Hope I'm not too late for Xavier's party. Oh, also Su is here

Su: Couldn't miss an awesome party.

Veroinca: What the fuck

Grayson: Oh wow...Su you're here

Xavier: Vaughan! I didn't think you were coming!!

Vaughan: Of course little dude. Since you asked of course I have to come.

Xavier: You made it just in time! Im so excited! Let me show you my room! We can play video games!

Vaughan: Sorry for dropping by so unexpectedly but Xavier said he really wanted me to join in on his birthday celebration.

Brayden: You're the young man that helped him when we went off on his own! Thank you for that, Xavier has his own mind but I'm happy you made it!

Blair: Thank you for taking care of him when he jetted off without our permission. It's nice to have you here we always welcome our children's friends!

Cut to Simmons manning the Warthog's turret.

Sarge: Hold your fire there, Simmons. This is payback time.

Simmons: Go for it, sir!

Cut to Caboose and Tucker.

Tucker: That's right, we're just casually strolling away. (he starts backing up) No cause for concern...

Caboose: Running time! (he runs away)

Tucker: Nice and casual! Moron! (the two run around in circles before they are able to orient themselves, then they head toward Blue Base)

Lopez: (watching them run) Sí, sí, corran, perros cobardes. Que sea sabido que el gran López ha ganado en éste día, y... [Yes, yes, run away, you cowardly dogs. Be it known that the great Lopez has won this day and...]

Cut to the Warthog driving toward Lopez.

Simmons: Aim for that guy right in the middle, Sarge!

Sarge: Way ahead of ya, Simmons!

Lopez: (turns around) ¿Qué está pasando? [What is happening?]

Cut to Lopez's HUD, a beeping noise starts as red text appears in the middle of his visor: SYSTEM OVERRIDE PROTOCOL. REMOTE DESTRUCT SEQUENCE

Lopez: (with his HUD still displayed) No me han dado opción. [You have given me no choice.]

The HUD changes text to read: ACTIVATED

Simmons: We've got you now, you blue bastard!

Cut to a zoom in of Lopez.

Simmons: Hey, Sarge, do you hear a strange beeping sound?

Cut to the Warthog exploding just before reaching Lopez. It launches into the air, flipping over backward twice before landing. Cut to Caboose and Tucker running up to Lopez.

Lopez: (speaking to Sarge) Perdonadme, padre. [I'm sorry, father.]

Tucker: Alright! Not bad, robot dude!

Caboose: I knew he would save us. I knew it! Robot people always like me. ..It's because of my awesome dancing.

Lopez: Mi espíritu está quebrado. Mi gente me ha abandonado y ahora todo está perdido. Haga conmigo lo que queráis... [My spirit is broken. My people have betrayed me and now all is lost. Do with me what you will...]

Tucker: Yeah, okay, man. Can you just shut up and fix our tank?

Fade to black. Music plays.

Caboose:Dancing time! (makes noises along with the music)

Lopez: El corazón de este guerrero llora en dolor. (referring to Caboose) ¿Por qué se burla éste de mi con su baile absurdo? ¿Son esos movimientos supuestos a hacerlo parecer robot? (pause) No lo hacen. Estoy ofendido por esto. [The heart of this warrior cries out in sorrow. Why does this one mock me with his foolish dancing? Are those moves supposed to make him look like a robot? They do not. I am offended by this.]

Caboose: Dancing time!

This is the last one! For this one, tell me more about Baatar Jr!

I'm pretty excited to see what you've got to say about all these characters, and see what about them and LoK caught your attention!

And the last Beifong of the request list, Suyin’s eldest son, Baatar Jr. Don’t worry, Su became more creative with names for the rest of her children. 😆

1: sexuality headcanon 

Someone had to be the token cis straight and that honor has been bestowed on Baatar.

2: otp 

After the very explosive breakup with Kuvira (I’ll see myself out), I think Junior will find better luck in romance with someone from outside Zaofu. I always picture him with a nice Fire Nation girl because it gives him a chance to be with someone who is not aware of the more notorious parts of his past. If I had to choose a character from the series that could make a good match for him, I would go with Asami, something that I’ve explored in my Kuvira redemption story, and it's for similar reasons why I think she could work with Kuvira. Like Kuvira, he would benefit from having someone smart, caring, strong-willed, with a strong moral compass that won’t take crap from anyone. And let’s be honest: we know Junior has mommy issues, so having Asami as a romantic partner gives him a chance to sort of reenact Baatar Sr and Su's dynamic in his relationship.

3: brotp 

Opal was the person he was closest to while they were growing up due to their shared status as non-benders until Harmonic Convergence happened, and Opal became part of the Air Nation. Although they made amends and was forgiven for his role with the Earth Empire, I believe his confidant post-war to be now his brother Huan. Huan seems to be a good listener and Junior’s house arrest allows for plenty opportunities for them to chat about the new building projects for Zaofu, especially now that Huan has given a voice along with Baatar Sr on the design choices for the city. 

4: notp 

Opal for obvious reasons. 

5: first headcanon that pops into my head 

Despite being Suyin’s oldest son and the one who takes after his father the most both in appearance and talent, the fact that he wasn’t a bender made him feel like sort of an outsider, a feeling he shared with fellow outcast Kuvira.

6: favorite line from this character 

(to Kuvira) “You always had an excellent memory.”

Ruins of the Empire Vol 3

7: one way in which I relate to this character 

I guess in the need to be regarded as an individual.

8: thing that gives me secondhand embarrassment about this character 

The way he confronted his father when he and Kuvira took over Zaofu. Dude, your dad is the gentlest individual in that family. Take it easy.😬

9: cinnamon roll or problematic fave?

Not a fave but definitely problematic during Book 4, but his collaboration helping Korra and Team Avatar in Ruins of the Empire earned him some brownie points.
