does anyone know who that guy was who wanted to terraform a part of Russia ( I think) to make a big place for cloned mastodons to live?

Playing Minecraft W/ The SpiderVerse Kids

pairing(s): Miles Morales (e!1610!), Hobie Brown, Pavitr Prabhakar, Gwen Stacy

warning(s): swearing! unedited.

i used this site to figure out/decide what type of player they’d be

i’ve been playing a lot of Minecraft recently and thought of what it’d be like to play with them so.. here you go!

Miles Morales (e!1610!)

He prefers Creative over Survival for sure, reasoning: he’s scared of the mobs and refuses to fight them

Plus in Creative it’s a lot easier for him to build stuff because he is definitely The Big Builder or The Decorator. He makes the most outrageous buildings but they look good

Has a whole world full of buildings and stuff. Like, complete towns filled with mansions

Playing with him is a lot of fun though! He’ll come up with build designs with you and you’d work together. If not, the two of you would totally mess around, building things just to blow them up with TNT or set it on fire

Miles is the one to put your beds next to each other. He thinks it’s cute, though he’ll do it without saying anything and if you mention it he becomes a stuttering mess and says he knows nothing and didn’t do it.

If you do end up playing Survival with him he will make you kill all the mobs, no doubt about it. He’ll make the base, probably trade with villagers, farm and kill the animals for food but not much else. He’s too afraid of dying

“Miles, did you put the beds next to each other? Because I know I didn’t.” You snicker teasingly, your character staring at the beds then at his character. You turn yourself to glance at him and notice his eyes are wide and he’s blushing.

“What..? What, me? Nooo.. That’s stupid why would I do that? Maybe you forgot that you did it because I didn’t.” He stumbled over his words, refusing eye contact. It was cute.

“Mhm, okay. Y’know, maybe I did forget. I think it’s a cute idea, though.” You smirked, kissing his cheek before turning back to the screen and continued playing.

Gwen Stacy

I think she’d play Survival and only Survival, claims Creative is for the weak

She goes all out in Minecraft, fighting mobs, getting achievements, going to the Nether, all of that. She’s not afraid

Definitely The Pro or The Achiever. Like I said, Gwen goes all out

She’d forcefully make you go with her, but she’d give you the right equipment needed and pointers on how to fight. If you genuinely don’t want to fight with her she’d have you farm and trade, pretty much do the smaller necessities for survival.

Has finished Minecraft several times, got all the achievements and everything on different worlds, never gets old for her

If you got her to play Creative she’d go on a rampage, killing everything for fun. Or she’d fly around trying to find different biomes

“C’monnn.. it’s not that bad!” Gwen would groan, trying to convince you to go to the Nether with her. “I’ve given all the armor and tools you need! Just try not to die.”

“Try not to die?? It’s the Nether, I’ll die no matter what! I’m not a pro like you. I’m not the one who’s finished this game multiple times.” You gave her an incredulous look, gaping at her words. It’s one thing to not die on the main world, that was usually easy, but the Nether? Yeah right, she’s insane.

“You’re overreacting.. Plus, if I’m a pro, wouldn’t that make you feel better that you’d be with me? Not by yourself.” She chuckled, arguing her point. You just scoffed and told her to go, following in after her.

Pavitr Prabhakar

I see him playing both Creative and Survival. Just really depends on his mood. Either way he’s having fun

He’d be The Zookeeper, collecting animals like Pokémon cards for real. Within the first 30 minutes of playing he already has a house full of cats and dogs, probably three parrots flying around him and is starting an animal farm. How? No idea, he just does

In Creative mode he’d spawn them all, naming all the animals with name tags one by one, even coloring the dog collars too

In Survival he’s taming every animal he sees, using a lead to bring the animal to a fenced in area. There’s one full of cows, pigs, horses, all the usual ones. But he even has them for pandas, camels, and turtles.

He’s also one to place his bed next to you, though unlike Miles, he’s not embarrassed by it, actually stating out loud he’s doing it. No shame at all.

When he’s not collecting animals, he’s following you around. He has no idea where you’re going or what you’re doing but he doesn’t care. He’s following and collecting every flower he sees, claiming he’s gonna make a bouquet for you.

“Hey, Pav? Where’s the- woah what the hell? How do you already have a whole army of pandas? Where’d you even get those from? We’re no where near a jungle..” You questioned, beyond surprise by the sight of around a dozen pandas in a fenced up area. It was even decorated to what a panda would need, looking like a small jungle.

“Hm? You say that likes it’s hard to find them! What’s so bad about it? I think they’re cute!” He smiled brightly, his character jumping around in the area full of pandas. “I have more than just pandas!”

“How?? We haven’t even played for more than an hour! When did you do all this?” While it was probably better not to question him, you needed to know how he did it, and seeing him more than happy to explain made it all the more better.

Hobie Brown (sorry it’s shorter than the rest)

He genuinely does not care if y’all play Creative or Survival, doesn’t matter to him, he’s gonna be a complete menace either way

He’s not any of the type of players listed in the site I used, he doesn’t believe in consistency. He can go from killing mobs to farming. His main goal is to fuck with you though

He never gets you killed in Survival but he will mess around. He’ll hit your character (without a sword or anything) when you’re fighting a mob and run away. It’s like playing with a child

I can see him setting a village on fire and saying something along the lines of “they’re capitalist pigs and deserve to die” or something

All in all, he’s not much of a fan of Minecraft but he’ll play it with you if you ask.

“Hobie, why is there a village on fire? What did you do?” You raised a brow at him, staring at the slight smirk on his face. It was a telltale sign he did it, but you knew it was him either way. There’s no way a village randomly caught on fire.

“What ya mean, luv? Oh, tha’. Yeah I did tha’. Bunch a capitalist pigs, I tell ya. Jus’ doin’ my job gettin rid of ‘em.” He chuckled while setting another village on fire. You didn’t wanna know how many he’d set on fire at this point.

“It’s a game, B. And I need to trade with them, they have good stuff sometimes.” You whined, huffing at him. You know he doesn’t care and will do it anyways.

“Find another one then, luv.”

All of them!

My god is it a nightmare.. first it starts out as an argument, trying to decide whether or not y’all are playing Survival or Creative. Mainly Gwen and Miles though, Pavitr and Hobie don’t care.

After about ten minutes of arguing they decided to ask you, so whatever one you prefer is what y’all played on. Either way one of them is whining.

If you picked Survival it leads to a pouty Miles, complaining how he’s gonna die a lot, and a smiley Gwen.

Within the first day Miles has already made a small base for you guys, Pav has gathered a few animals (he pouted when it was stated the cows and such would be used for food eventually, Gwen was mining for ores, and Hobie was.. being Hobie.

It was surprising to see how smooth everyone seemed to work together for a while, considering before y’all even started playing an argument broke out. Though if y’all could work well together while on mission, why couldn’t you in a game, yeah?

Give it an hour or so.. bickering over stupid stuff is bound to happen.

If you picked Creative, Gwen is whining how it’s for losers, which causes Miles to flip her off and thank you for picking it.

With Creative there’s a lot less arguing and bickering. Though there is much more chaos. Y’all are blowing up everything or settlor on fire for fun.

It started with you all just doing your own thing until randomly Hobie brings up the idea.

“I ‘ave an idea..” Hobie says out of the blue, causing everyone to pause. You all look at him with a face of confusion or hesitation. Whenever he had an idea, it was wild or something went wrong in some way.

“Great.. you have an idea.. does it have to do with the game or real life? Because I don’t feel like blowing up a building in your universe again..” Gwen scoffed, the others nodding in agreement.

“Yeah.. I agree with Gwen.. last time you had an idea we almost got killed..” You chuckled dryly, still traumatized from that.

“Damn, no faith in me at all, huh?” He rolled his eyes. “Yea, in the game.. Don’t worry, don’t plan on killin’ y’all. Woulda done so already if I wanted to.”

That caused another pause in the room, silence too loud. Thank god for Miles for breaking it. “Okayyy… what’s your plan?”

“Well, Gwendy got blowin’ up a buildin’ correc’. Though, I meant in the game. Why not have some fun an’ blow up some shit, or set it on fire, yea?” It was a smart idea, surprisingly. Everyone agreed, just with some terms, mainly Pav and Miles.

“Sounds fun! As long as my animals are safe and out of it, I’m in!” Pavitr stated, Miles nodding in agreement, but for his builds.

“Woah, a surprisingly good idea.. Let’s do it! Let’s blow some shit up!” You poked fun at Hobie, before smiling widely. It concerned the others at how widely you smiled but brushed it off. They agreed with the idea so they must be just as crazy then. With that, buildings were blown up, forests were burnt down. It was so chaotic to the point that the game started to lag and eventually crashed, causing you all to burst out in laughter. Well, it was fun while it lasted.

I apologize for not posting yesterday, but hopefully this makes up for it! It’s longer than my normal posts. I hope you enjoy!

Send requests! Love you!

sumeru boys redesigns + notes

as you may know, i redesigned the sumeru boys a few weeks ago because, as much as i love them to bits, their designs are well. not that great in some areas. also because i wanted to draw them more often without the roadblock of their designs being so complicated. i've mainly been drawing my cyno and tighnari redesigns, but i did also do alhaitham and kaveh, so i thought that i'd show off these redesigns in one post, along with some notes on why i made certain decisions. hope you enjoy!

(pre-note: just so no one gets confused, i also renamed everyone when i did my redesigns, giving tighnari and alhaitham first names and cyno and kaveh last names.)

tighnari ❀

(renamed abdullah al-tighnari; tighnari was made his surname because that was the case for the real guy he was based on)

i went into this thinking "how can i make this design more appealing to me while still retaining what the original design meant?". since tighnari is one of my favorites in the game overall, i put a lot of pressure on myself to make a decent design.

a lot of tighnari's design inspiration comes from moroccan (specifically amazigh) culture, which i kept in my mind through most of the drawing. this inspiration shows in his bead necklace (i forget the name), his belt, and his earring, which i remade to mirror the shape of moroccan headpieces.

gave him some muscles because there's no way a guy with his job wouldn't have them. also a bottom-heavy fat distribution for self-indulgent purposes.

the design has less layers and lighter/flowier clothes because of tighnari's canon sensitivity to heat. if you're living in the rainforest (a famously humid biome), you probably wouldn't be wearing what canon tighnari does, heat sensitivity or not.

gave him some traits that are popular headcanons, such as the flower thigh tattoo, the sharp teeth, the scars, the claw-like nails (with the middle and ring nails filed down for No Reason), and the lichtenberg figure. also gave him tan skin and wavy hair because i Cannot deal with canon nari looking like that.

sturdy shoes! archery gloves! his vision on his belt! quality of life features that an actual forest ranger would have!

i will admit that the slit pants, the shorts, and the tights were all for self-indulgence reasons, but i think they go together well with the rest of the outfit too.

a braid in his hair for cynari marriage purposes. (i hc that in sumeru, marriages are consummated by braiding each other's hair)

kaveh ❂

(renamed kaveh laghmani; surname is of iranian origin, but i forgot the meaning)

another real quick note: if i change a character's pronouns in their rewrite, i'll be using those pronouns in their notes. here, kaveh goes by he/she pronouns (she just like me fr).

his canon design is actually my favorite of the sumeru boys, so this redesign was more of a simplification while still keeping the original color scheme and such.

from my research, kaveh's mainly inspired by persian/iranian culture. this is what i had in mind with her shirt and her jacket... shawl... thing. idk what to call it.

kept him a skinny twink; imo, her being a twink in canon fits pretty well.

emphasized the bird of paradise motif with the thing on her side looking like feathers. you will see this again with alhaitham.

made him brunet for more cohesion with the color palette, also because i don't like the whole blonde-fading-to-brown situation he has going on in his canon design.

flowers!!! also giving him a pretty headpiece bc this guy is flashy. also also keeping the feather, it's cunty and fun.

i wanted to make kaveh obviously gnc/genderqueer without going into full-on feminine outfit territory. you can tell she's not quite cis but it's not super in your face yk?

made his vision one of his earrings like yae miko because i forgot to give it a proper place in my concept drawings lmao

quality of life feature: actual artist gloves that aren't cut off. seriously, them being fingerless in the canon design completely negates the point of artist gloves.

removed his braids because of the aforementioned marriage headcanon.

alhaitham ⚘

(renamed amir al-haytham; i wanted to give him the most basic name possible, though i fought with myself a lot on whether to write it as al-haitham or al-haytham)

my god i despise his canon design. it's so... not him. my goal with a redesign was just to give him an outfit that made sense for his character because jesus his canon design is an atrocity.

alhaitham is mainly inspired by either saudi arabian or general west asian culture (like what's constant and such). i was mainly inspired by casual saudi arabian menswear when i was designing him.

hot take but i don't like alhaitham being buff in canon. i made him chubby/fat in my redesign mainly for self-indulgent reasons, but also because it makes more sense to me. also gave him facial hair because yes

kept his color scheme mostly the same, along with the eye motif. emphasized the eagle motif slightly with the feather hip piece (see: kaveh's redesign).

gave him a headscarf (not a hijab or anything like that, just a regular headscarf) because he felt like the type, plus i got the design idea for it and went "well i can't not include it now".

wanted to give him the vibes of an npc who was forced to be a main character

no he isn't wearing his vision anywhere, he doesn't carry it around in my rewrite.

quality of life features: more sensible, looser clothes that are easier to live in- really the whole design is meant to be a quality of life improvement first and foremost

cyno ⚡︎

(renamed cyno al-sahrawi; surname meaning is "of the sahara" or more generally, "of the desert")

like kaveh, i'm gonna be using he/they pronouns for cyno here because that's what i put in my rewrite.

in my opinion, cyno's design is relatively solid, but with a few glaring flaws that kinda ruin everything for me. i'll bring them up as these notes go on.

they're very obviously inspired by ancient egyptian culture, specifically anubis. like, it's very blatant. with my redesign, i wanted to keep those inspirations in mind while making the outfit less stereotypical and make more sense.

why does this man, who's said to fight a lot, not wear a shirt? why are you letting the place where most of your vital organs reside breathe freely? also, why does this guy not have scars?

simplified a bunch of patterns, especially below the belt and with his headpiece. also made their helmet(?) a darker, more saturated purple to attract your eyes' attention to it.

gave him eye of horus makeup for a little cultural nod

the black piece in the back was made to look like a tail to further the jackal thing.

curly hair that resembles lightning bolts <3

the shoes were inspired by traditional egyptian footwear, because if this guy is out in the desert all the time, i'm not letting him go without some kind of foot protection.

quality of life features: a bit of armor on his arm (partially for aesthetic purposes), less flowy bits on his helmet and hips to prevent distraction or getting caught on things, the aforementioned shoes

added braids for cynari purposes, because i'm me.

hope you enjoyed reading this! please keep in mind that this is all off the top of my head and doesn't even go into color theory, how the designs mirror each other, and other smaller things like that. i might make a part 2 someday going into those things, but who knows with my memory lmao

reblogs are heavily appreciated!

SHIT I FORGOT ABOUT THIS IN MY DRAFTS

Wow okay a lot more ppl asked for this--

How I built a Kraang Society:

Ppl talk about all different kinds of tips for world building a society. But I have a different technique called "I have vivid nightmare disorder and wrote down the shit I've seen in that one dream that inspired FCAU."

So let's explore!

Starting with the baseline Kraang structure that is canon in the show. GEM readers will know this structure btw. Apocalypse lasted 22 years from 2022 to 2044, there are 7 Kraang types, 3 aliens developing these types, at least one Kraang laborcamp, no more ocean, cloudy skies, infection by contact and spreads fast, hive mind, stronger with empyrean, and others I can't list off the top of my head.

FCAU not only follows the baseline as seen in the movie and GEM but we also add new features.

Starting with new Kraang types:

(From lowest "rank" to highest, brief explanations, potentially making more if I feel like it.)

Parasite: Canon. Those little bitey fucks from the subway tunnels.

Mound: New type. Evil quicksand that feasts on your rotting flesh.

Zombie: Canon. Partially possessed animals (including humans and yokai).

Hybrid: New type. A human with the ability to transform into any Kraang type. Only one exists. And his name is Casey Jones Jr.

Canine: Canon. Aka hound or dog or whatever. Fully possessed animals.

Howler: New type. Imagine a canine with a tuba for a head. But the tuba can also kill you.

Mimic: New type. Outlier of the Kraang types as it is not a part of the hive mind but is still loyal. Mimics injured loved ones to lure in prey. Considered quite rare.

Snitch: New type. Literally an eyeball with wings that keeps an eye on lower class Kraang to keep them in line.

Decoy: Canon. Possesses inanimate objects (plus plants). (i.e. the Kraang Train or Kraang Helicopters)

Minion: Canon. Specialized canine type that Brother Kraang possessed himself that directly obeys Kraang Prime, Brother and Sister. Mainly consisting of the Foot Clan and the Metro Tower Victims.

Droids: Canon. Reanimated corpses of fallen Kraang from the prison dimension and brought back into Earth.

Sister Kraang: Canon. Domain over lower class.

Brother Kraang: Canon. Domain over upper class.

Kraang Prime: Canon. Domain over all.

Now the Kraang are separated into 3 classes: Lower, Upper, and Regal.

Lower class are Kraang of Earth origin or residue. (Parasites through howler as seen above.)

Mimic is not considered in a class as it is an outlier.

Upper class are Kraang of true origin or inanimate objects. (Snitch through droids as seen above.)

Regal are Kraang aliens. (Prime, Sister, Brother. No other aliens exist. These 3 are the sole survivors of their kind.)

Just like class in our society, these guys are also separated by location.

Kraang Biomes:

Aside from abandoned ruins and empty ocean floors, the Kraang have made the Earth habitable for them.

Infested ruins: Abandoned cities overrun with Kraang. Oxygen levels low.

Kraang forests: Heavily infested areas resembling a "forest" of Kraang trees and bushes and wildlife. Oxygen levels very low.

Kraang Caves: Caves in which lower class Kraang resides in, mounds (and occasionally mimics) on the outskirts. Oxygen levels normal.

The Hellspot: The only place on Earth that has heat. Kraang do not reside here. Oxygen levels high. COs levels also high. ;)

Floating Archipelagos: Groups of floating islands ripped from the ground (referring to Dimension X, wink wink). Consists of laborcamps, incubator pods, and upper class Kraang. Oxygen levels very low.

Laborcamps: Domes in which Humans/Yokai in captivity being put to work for the exchange of "sparing" their lives. Oxygen levels normal.

Incubator pods: Used for correcting defective Kraang. (Defective meaning any Kraang (lower class) becoming sentient again.) Oxygen levels very low.

Technodrome: The mother ship. Consists of Regal class. Meetings are often held in here. Oxygen levels low.

Now that you have learned the types and locations, you can make a few conclusions.

For instance, if you see mounds, you are near the outskirts of some Kraang caves and should probably get the fuck out.

If your oxygen levels start depleting, you should probably leave. Those who venture further would require an oxygen mask. As the years progress, almost everyone has one.

Kraang don't need oxygen, the exception being zombies who are still somewhat alive inside and the parasitic host needs them alive so uh yeah they'll need oxygen. For now. Over time, they build a tolerance.

Kraang also like it cold. They covered the Earth in thick permanent layers of clouds and removed the ocean in order to drop the temperatures wayyyy down. People would need to bundle up. A lot of nature would start dying. Without the ability to use GPS in a world of no WiFi and being unable to map the stars, travelers would get lost and die before reaching their destination. (Luckily Donnie has a fix but that's lore for another time).

Lower class and Regal being alive need substance. Any living thing will do. Plants, animals, human/yokai flesh. Last resort being other Kraang. (I am assuming cannibalism took place in that Prison Dimension in order for those 3 to survive. Kraang Prime be like "I ate my grandma"--)

Casey Jr being half Kraang is half affected. He still needs oxygen but it's kinda like Ellie from TLOU where he doesn't really need a mask. He also prefers the cold and is very sensitive to heat (Like Will in Stranger Things 2). Pre-rescue, his diet consisted mainly of raw meat from a successful hunt. Which yes, does include human/yokai flesh. And also he is not connected to the hive mind unless in contact with another Kraang, usually his mom. (And further more, post-rescue, if he touch Kraang then Kraang discover Resistance and that is a very bad no no).

And now a shoutout to the culture:

Upper class culture is practically non-existent. Just obedient soldiers designed to obey the top 3. Their culture mainly consists of playing their roles and following orders to a T. They aren't sentient after all so why bother with retaliation in this dystopia? Also, their language skills don't exist, relying solely on the hive mind to communicate.

Lower class culture is freaky but remarkably beautiful in its own twisted way. Their language skills are still there inside and would communicate through words or animalistic sounds (barks, screeches, clicks, hissing, chrips, etc). In the watchful eye of the snitch, they act as obedient as the upper class. When the snitch is away, they like to let loose.

For example, there is song.

Kraang aren't supposed to be into music. Music is a distraction. But the lower class indulge in it. In their own unique communication, it's like they're saying "I'm still alive inside. Please don't forget me."

And like music, there is a practice around it. The practice is called the Siren Song.

The howler starts it, using its howling siren/alarm sounds to create a melodic note. Each Kraang pack has at least one howler, if there are more then the others would harmonize.

Then the canines join in, howling along or stomping their feet to create a beat. Mounds click and hiss to create a rhythm. Zombies begin to sing.

To an outsider, it sounds like nails on a chalkboard. Kraang noises aren't pleasant after all. But if you were to listen closely and study them, music can be heard.

In the practice, everyone joins in. They reach out to each other to let them know that they are still here, still alive, still sentient. Those who don't join, usually old canines, are the ones who are no longer sentient inside.

.

Occasionally, the Regal would hold meetings in the Technodrome. They send a message through the hive mind and the packs will start moving to wherever the mothership is. The upper and lower class excuse their borders and merge as one as they file in. During these meetings, usually Kraang Prime holds them and explains to the Kraang about their further plans of invading and conquering Earth.

And in these meetings, there is etiquette. You must bow properly, speak properly (depending on your type), you must follow orders and be in perfect synchronization with the others, you must not defy Kraang Prime and always respond with "Yes, brother.", and much more.

.

Defective Kraang are typically Kraang zombies who fall out of line. Mimics are also debatable defective despite their loyalty. When a snitch catches a defective Kraang, they...snitch. Minions would enter the Kraang Caves to apprehend the defective and take them straight to the Technodrome where they are put on trial before Kraang Prime himself. Kraang Prime would evaluate the severity of their defectiveness to determine how long they would need to spend in the incubator.

Typically, the incubator "cures" the defectiveness and the Kraang returns to normal. Some...take a few sessions.

.

The Kraang also have rules and societal standards. They are the "apex species of the galaxies" after all. They must all be perfect. In unison. No mistake. No failures. Only success. Perfect working cogs and gears in a well oiled machine.

This means that the defective, disabled, the mimics, and other outliers are discriminated against. They are not perfection.

Music is a distraction. Family is a distraction. Love is a distraction. Emotion is a distraction.

Humans/Yokai are inferior. Pests. Weeds. Must be eliminated. Kraang supremacy. Case closed.

Fall out of line, incubator. Question authority, incubator or even death. Too weak, eaten alive.

Kraang must cull the herd. Kraang will prevail.

Kraang don't believe in gods. They are the gods.

.

Cassandra did her best to protect Casey Jr from it all.

What does this mean for Casey Jr?

I don't think I need to even begin to explain that obvious child abuse and trauma is involved. Colonization and genocide are at play. War is upon us on this fucked up Earth. It's all very...metaphorical to our reality. Just keep this in mind for how dark the story may get, for those who don't like dark stories. (There is a lot of fluff, dw.)

You can expect to notice things in his behavior here and there as he is rescued. At first, it'll feel like kidnapping. These people are supposed to be bad but yet they're feeding him, treating his injuries, and giving him a bath and fresh clothes. His speech is half developed, being raised by lower class Kraang. He doesn't want to sleep with blankets or properly bundle up. He kneels when he is in trouble.

Conclusively...

All of this is still a WIP for Feral Casey AU. May more ideas are being put in every single day.

But still, the advice I can give you on how to build a society, just start somewhere. The Siren Song is where I started. I have even been working on composing the music just for the fun of it.

It also helps that I am a specialized VA. It's a stim now to make Kraang noises, and it helps me translate them into my story and design the types too.

Then things will keep building from there. =)

How do you feel about the recent minecraft update? (Chrrry blossom biome, sniffers, that update I forgot the name already whoops-)

[prrism]

Tiny Tot

(I know, not the most creative title but I’m trying here)

Summary: While you’ve slowly grown used to this strange phenomenon of people around the SMP being brought to you as child versions of themselves and being left in your care, there are times it surprises you…

Characters: Wilbur x Reader (feat. Quackity and Slimecicle)

Relationship: platonic

Pronouns: unspecified/kept neutral

You hum a soft tune to yourself as you till at the ground, prepping it for the fresh crop seeds you just obtained. You hear someone whistle for your attention and freeze for a second when you see Quackity looking completely unimpressed while his slimy friend was waving you over. You place your tools into your inventory as you approach the two of them.

“Ummm… hi. Fancy seeing you here.” You say once your close enough.

“Hello (y/n), from the meadow (I decided the reader lives in a sorta meadow biome) I hope you do not mind our intrusion.” Quackity’s slimy friend greets, still smiling and waving.

“No, you’re fine. Also, I don’t believe we’ve met before, how do you know my name?” You ask him.

“Never mind that!” Quackity quickly jumps in before his friend can answer. “Here, just take him off my hands.” Quackity near throws the thing, or rather person, he’s holding towards you. You’re thankful for your fast reflexes as you catch the very obvious child version of Wilbur, who’s laughing up a storm from the “game” of catch. You stare down at him for a few seconds before looking up at Quackity again.

“Do I want to know?” You ask hesitantly.

“Probably not.” He says curtly.

“Why not go to Phil? He is Wilbur’s dad after all.” You point out only to be given the dirtiest look from the casino owner.

“I don’t think Quackity, from Las Nevadas is fond of the location.” His friend pipes in again.

“Oh right! I sorta forgot about… that…” You trail off awkwardly, trying not to stare at his scar. “I can take it from here.” You quickly add.

“Good. Come on, Slime, let’s go.” With that Quackity turns to leave, his friend following close behind.

“But Quackity, from Las Nevadas I am not slime. I’m made of meat and bones like you…” Their conversation fades as they get father and farther away until you’re just left with a now squirming child in your arms.

“Alrighty Mr. Squirmy, let’s get you home to your dad.” You say.

“No!” He shouts, squirming more. This came as a small shock to you as so far anyone who was affected by this condition, yourself included, couldn’t really form words to talk resorting to making various sounds to convey feelings.

“I… okay, cool. I’ll take any form of easier communication… I guess.” You say still a little shocked. “Well… care to help me finish up in the fields?” You ask.

“Yeah!” He cheers in joy.

“Alright,” you chuckle, “now come on, you can plant the seeds while I till the ground.” You suggest, carrying Wilbur back to your previous place in the field, placing him down and passing him the pouch of seeds from your inventory. It was almost humorous seeing Wilbur waddling around, you being so used to seeing him as tall and lanky rather then short and stubby. It was going well at first you’d prep a spot and watch Wilbur pluck a few seeds out of the pouch to drop into the ground before burying it with a nice pat to the soil, however things took a quick turn when he discovered where you grow your sugarcane. Now it was a constant dash to stop him from either falling into the river or scooping handfuls of sand into his mouth, sometimes both at the same time. He whined when you finally decided enough was enough and carried him back inside.

“Nooooo!” He flails his arms around as if it’d help free him from your grasp, you sigh and place him down on the floor where he proceeds to flop onto his side in a grumpy huff.

“My goodness, how did Phil manage to raise you.” You playfully tease, silence being your only response. “What don’t feel like talking now?” More silence. Slightly amused but not exactly wanting him to stay grumpy you walk over to the shelf of music boxes, reminiscing on how you obtained each of them before finding the one you knew would perk up Wilbur’s mood… or at least you hoped it would.

“This is one of the first music boxes I ever got.” You say fondly, catching Wilbur sit up and slightly peek over his shoulder from the corner of your eye. “I know you don’t remember this right now but… you actually gave this one to me. It plays a plays a special song, wanna hear it?” You ask now properly looking at him. He gives a small, curious nod, you smile as you wind it up and let the melody play.

“I heard there was a secret chord~ That David played and it pleased the Lord~ But you don’t really care for music, do ya?~ Well it goes like this the forth, the fifth~ The minor fall and the major lift~ The baffled king composing hallelujah~ Hallelujah~ Hallelujah~ Hallelujah~ Hallelu-ujah…~” You pause a moment to see Wilbur completely enthralled by the music, inwardly you held in a small laugh, outwardly a soft expression rests on your face when you start the next part. “Well I heard there was a special place~ Where men could go and emancipate~ The brutality and tyranny of their ruler~ Well this place is real, we needn’t fret~ With Wilbur, Tommy, Tubbo, f- and all the rest~ It’s a very big and not blown up L’Manberg~ My L’Manberg~ My L’Manberg~ My L’Manberg~ My L’Ma-anberg~” You finish, having to scramble part way for more cleaner lyrics, Wilbur may technically be a grown adult, but even still there was no way you’d swear in front of a child. Regardless of that he did seem to really enjoy the song, having brightened up a lot more and attempting to sing along to the repeating melody himself.

You sit back on the couch to relax a little while Wilbur kept himself distracted, you were by no means dozing off, just taking a moment to stare into space and reminisce again on the past while the melody still played. You were happy to see Wilbur acting all happy and carefree again, rather then acting cynical and more or less careless, it’s been a long time since he looked like he was genuinely enjoying something.

“I can’t believe you actually kept this old thing.” The voice takes you off guard for a second, but then the scent of cigarettes hits your nose, making you scrunch up on instinct. Just how long were you staring at the ceiling for?

“It’s a nice memento, and it still plays really well. Why would I get rid of it?” You look back at Wilbur who shrugs as he turns the music box over in his hands.

“Because the past can find a way to haunt you if you’re not careful.” He sighs, his voice barely audible to you, as if the comment wasn’t meant for you to hear. “Well, it’s been lovely but I still have a business to run and a rival to compete with.” He quickly jumps back into his more casual tone, setting the music box down and strutting over to the door.

“Yeah, nice catching up with you too, I guess.” You roll your eyes and get up to leave yourself, seeing as you still had a few errands to do and you promised you’d meet up with Niki and Puffy later. You stop at the sudden hand placed on your shoulder, turning slightly to stare at Wilbur as he avoided your eye contact.

“I…” His grip tightening slightly and his mouth opening and closing like he wanted to say something but words failing to work, almost ironic how now was when he lost his ability to speak properly. “I’ll… see you around.” He manages to say before finally leaving. You weren’t sure what that was about but there was now a feeling of melancholy as you watched him disappear into the distance.

You shake yourself off and refocus, quickly checking the time before sending both Niki and Puffy a message that you might meet up with them a bit later then expected.

Hope you guys enjoy. Let me know who you’d like to see next, either through my inbox or a comment 😁

bites you . what is haunted sekai that sounds like something that would appeal to me .

They're unfortunately not real spooky they're like teehee Halloween spooky and it is sooo hard to assign them songs cuz I can only find actual horror instead of the silly kind </3 ALSO I FORGOT THEIR UNIT IS NAMED "GRAVENIGHT" (in all caps)

I added the theme tags later but to expand on that; The leader Miyako Kurosawa is themed on Vampires, Juurou Hayashi is themed on Zombies, Yuto Amano is themed on Ghosts (specifically a yurei), and Tsuneo Yamamoto is themed on Mummies. Just like canon they all have a theme in their last names! Biomes!!

Kurosawa: Marsh [NOTE: It's also matching the Storybook Sekai's color name theme because her sister is in that unit- since in canon sibling names dual theme] Hayashi: Forest Amano: Field Yamamoto: Mountain

I kinda have an outfit idea in mind for them and it's just like a neat little suit with small top hats hats specific to their themes (Vampire has fang design, Zombie looks stitched up, [idk ghost], Mummy has bandages on the base)

Designs. Uhhh. I only know Yuto has long black hair like the yurei ghost. Because I don't actually have mental faces for them RN, Miyako looks like An, Juurou looks like if you blended Akito and Tsukasa and general silliness, and Tsuneo looks like Toya. Why are they VBS to me? No idea, I've been trying to mold their faces to be unique in my head and it's just not happening.

ALSO because this unit has 2 guys (matching canon gender patterns) their assigned Vocaloid is Kaito and their vocaloids are all classic monsters from famous novels. Miku is Frankenstein's Monster and the Kagamines are Jeckyl and Hyde (IDK which is which tho). I don't know about the others yet.

The few songs I've assigned them are: Happy Halloween (Not) a Devil Vampire [I should probably assign zombies but i didn't know the song yet when the list was made]

Hello everyone! Just wanted to send a bunch of love to qsmpblr, especially any folks who've been flooding my notifications with reblogs, likes, and replies! It's been awhile since I've been so actively engaged in fandom content, and QSMP Purgatory hooked my previously dormant competitive side! It's been a joy to liveblog, so when I realized that this was the best time for me to step back, I decided I should let the peoples know!

So, here's some housekeeping (predictions) from this blog before I go!

I will not be watching the rest of QSMP Purgatory live, but I will be watching VODs sometime late next week! May the best team win!

I do think Soulfire has the best chances of winning, since we're not certain how many of the following days will be counted as wins, which makes me doubt if a tie could even be secured if the players wanted it. If the ultimate results are decided by the event, I do still believe Soulfire is better prepared to take on whatever it is, since for the previous event they weren't in the position to try like they could've. They've got the numbers now too! For the last event, Bolas did say part of their win was contributed to having support from Bad, Tina, and Niki. While the new lineup for Bolas is great, I do think something essential will be missed with the absence of Jaiden for the week, likely Carre as well, Foolish today, and the sort of fatigue Philza and Charlie have been exhibiting (my streamers weren't built for this, but they're trying!).

For the cursed team, I originally thought last week that it was Soulfire! I forgot my reasons for why unfortunately, so I'm going for it and switching my prediction to Bolas. My reasoning is all the specialized train tickets belonging to red team members, and how ElQuackity wouldn't count since it was meant to be Quackity's. I also don't think ElQuackity being on a team makes it cursed, since Green Gay Ninjas were confirmed to not be. However, I feel like there's a lot of ways you can interpret the messages of the eggs, especially the biomes they're filmed in, and the players who were being analyzed in the videos shown during Purgatory Day 1! On that note, I do lean more towards Cellbit's theory, which I believe is that there is no officially cursed team, that it doesn't matter who wins. Either all or some eggs will be saved, if the Purgatory Eye actually does have a say over their wellbeing, but not all of them will die. Excited to find out how that goes!

If it does end up being a scenario where a winning team has to choose which eggs to save, my pinned post analyzes who they're likely to save and why, based on who's an egg parent and who's said they'd vouch! I think there's been some misinterpretation, in that the names listed are who a team is going to save, so I've tiered the list by numbers! If it's a some eggs scenario, each team collectively would want to vouch for all eggs, save for red team regarding ramon, which I doubt is how many they'll be permitted to save! Mayhaps a revolution will be staged if this is the case? Can't wait to find out!

I believe that's all I had to share! Going to look back at this post and see if any of these predictions were right, or if they're completely off! If you enjoyed my liveblogging, thank you! Not sure if I'll be able to return to it, but nonetheless, I hope everyone has a great time watching the rest of QSMP Purgatory! Goodbye for now!

[krabkrab-wontshutup]

hey! anon cuz i'm a little shy but i saw your post about your genshin impact d&d campaign and was wondering if you had ever posted the notes for it? i'm working on my own campaign right now and would love to take a look and see if anything speaks to me!

OH FUCK I NEVER POSTED VISIONS AND VERBATIM NOTES-

thank you sm for sending this ask holy fuck i totally forgot!!!

Visions and Verbatim- a genshin-inspired homebrew dnd campaign for 3-7 players (not including lk(lorekeeper))

Weapons-

I was bored of how few weapon types there are in genshin. here’s my takes!

Bladed: Sword, Claymore, Greataxe, Daggers, Knife

Polearm: Spear, Bowstaff, just a big Stick (mostly for child characters)

Ranged: Longbow, Shortbow, Crossbow, Dart gun, Slingshot

Catalyst: Wand, Blaster, Spellbook, Crystal Ball, Scroll, Any floaty thing tbh

Instrument: Lute, Lyre, Guitar, Flute, Clarinet, Trumpet

Visions

Visions work similar to druid magic. I guess technically everyone is a druid multiclass? idk man.

Archons

i made my own, but you don’t have to do that. you can absolutely use the canon ones.

Pyro- Eyota | Goddess of War

Hydro- L’ocean | Goddess of Justice

Geo- Zhiqiang | God of Contracts

Anemo- Johan | God of Freedom

Electro- Nakada Yuji | God of Eternity

Dendro- Nilam | God of Wisdom (theyre agender)

Country Biomes

most of these are the same but i made some changes

Sumeru- Desert/Sunken Forest

Snezhnaya- Tundra

Mondstadt- Taiga/Mountain

Fontaine- Island

Natlan- Volcano

Liyue- Rocky Hills

Inazuma- Cluster of Islands

Different Species

Elf

Human

Youkai

kitsune

oni

tanuki

tengu

Half-Humans (Gorou, Tighnari, ect)

Adeptus

Special NPCs

Most of the characters are the same as the characters in genshin, but here are some buddies I added for fun!

Nali- The youngest half-human daughter of Nilam. adores the attention she gets from the people of sumeru, unlike her older sister. She enjoys running around, saying hi to her people, and playing with the avidya forest cats! er- when she has the rangers to keep an eye on her, that is. Nilam specifically asked them to keep an eye on her when she wasn’t in the akydemia. She has a habit of taming wild animals, even those deemed “dangerous” by the rangers.

Rukka- The eldest half-human daughter of Nilam. Cryo vision. doesnt enjoy the attention being on her all the time. she prefers it to be on her little sister, in fact. A scholar by day and a swordswoman by night, in her quest she ends up taking a seat with the fatui harbingers under the name Brighella.

this took so long jfc

[peachyymomo]

So I made this AU where the top three of blueberry academy are not human through very wack methods basically the timeline: -le bike lizards (koraidon) are brought from past

-one bike lizard is smarter than the other by a LOT, so Sada tried experimenting on it with Tera energy, to the point where it was sapient and could shapeshift into a little girl

-girl bike lizard sees other bike lizard murk Sada and flies away, somehow gets adopted by family and named Juliana

-plot of SV continues on as normal (mostly), but Juliana reveals herself to her friends just before they fly down to Area Zero

-overcomes trauma and stuff and finally wins

-Juliana does all the Teal Mask stuff and almost accidentally reveals herself to Kieran once

-Juliana had issues with Indigo Disk stuff (cough, polar biome and she’s a reptile, cough) but manages to go down again to area Zero with Kieran after some consoling

-When Terapagos fires the blast STRAIGHT AT KIERAN, she reveals her Koraidon form and blocks the beam but half of it still spills offer and hits Kieran directly in the arm

-Kieran musters up enough strength to help defeat Terapagos but then kinda goes unconscious, starts crystalising

-rushed to Paldean hospital where he finally stops crystalising through bringing out Terapagos again to stop the crystalisation

-boy is now half turtle boy (he can Terastalise, cannot shapeshift)

-Briar pressures Juliana to use Terapagos in a battle again so she can observe, Drayton offers to be the battle partner

-toothpaste boy accidentally walks too close to the battle arena and gets hit by a 120 bp stellar Tera Starstorm right in the chest

-Kieran (now with Terapagos powers) attempts to heal him with defensive energy, but causes the energy to go even more wonk, so he asks Terapagos and comes up with a medicine made of Tera shards and everstones

-onion boy forgot to put normal Tera shards and ghost Tera shards in the medicine :(

-normal and ghost defensive energy (like you know Terapagos’ terastal form shell, that kind of energy) was NOT expelled

-toothpaste boy gets minor injury and painfully (tm) turns into h-zorua

-he has VERY NEGATIVE feelings about that, he communicates with Kieran and attacks turtle boy, Juliana had to intervene

-the three are fine now but all traumatised

Yay

to clarify: The three keep their predicament a secret from most, Drayton can use illusions, Juliana can physically shapeshift, Kieran cannot shapeshift but can terastalise

And yes all three of them can battle

HAI ANON I MEANT TO RESPOND TO THIS EARLIER BUT I GOT DISTRACTED I’M SORRY!! /gen

but HELLO?????? this is such a cool idea???!?!?!? drayton being a habitual liar (idk abt yours but my version is LMAO) + having the ability to create illusions would be such a fun combo. if not for y’know. the trauma. ☹️

[benkipo]

12/15 Cuteness above all!

Spent a lot of time dilly dallying, grinding them BP’s. Working my way towards the next elite four member in the Coastal Biome.

Lacey was actually the first Elite 4 member I met so I guess I should’ve went to her first if I was trying to follow some sort of true order. But she was no pushover. Her team was honestly much tougher than Crispin’s. Maybe it’s just because I have 2 dragons on my team, but she really pushed my team to the end. I was forced to terastalize my dragonite or else we would’ve been in trouble!

Overall a really great battle and I enjoy her team comp quite a bit. Battling her actually reminded me that I don't have any held items on my Pokemon so I spent a bit of time after that gathering the appropriate ones for my team.

Afterwards I made my way to the Canyon Biome since Drayton is said to be the former champion. So I want to save him for last. The stair structures are crazy here in the mountainous area! Really fun! I’m really appreciating how crazy they went with the environment design for Terrarium.

Right when I was about to call it a day I spot a school of Alolamola, but one of them was slightly off colored than the rest… and of course that means shiny! If I saw it on its own I probably wouldn’t have even noticed so it’s clutch that it was in a group! I was so upset I forgot to take a screenshot of it when it was grouped up, that I accidentally fainted it… but luckily I saved right before battling! Shiny hunting is so forgiving in these new games!

Since I reset, I was able to capture a shot of it in the wild but it wasn’t as grouped as I saw it originally. Honestly if they were this spread out I might not have noticed it!

I really love that in the games, there are other Pokemon lingering around while you battle. Especially in this case with all the other Alolamola! It’s like they’re saying goodbye since they know I’m not gonna let this shiny go! End up cat co big it in a heal ball since I felt the colors matched! Named her Molly.

Trail to Wishes: Chapter 1

Eve arrives at the Blueberry Academy, weary but determined to have a good first day.

Words: 2347

“Hello there, and welcome to my grand Blueberry Academy!”

On Eve’s phone screen, there was a rather tall dark-skinned man dressed in an open white suit with a matching white fedora and a long black scarf around his suit’s collar. He was holding his hat in one hand while his other was in a jacket pocket. His wide smile showed all his perfectly white teeth and his eyes crinkled in joy. He was standing on a bridge, behind him was a large blue building with a domed roof.

“This wondrous school is the birthplace of innovation, located in the majestic Unova sea. Let me show you around!”

The man turned around and started walking while the camera panned upward to show the beautiful blue sky filled as cheery pop music started to play, before the music cut and the camera suddenly panned downwards to show the man again. He seemed surprised, quickly turning around with eyes wide and with his hands out.

“Oh -almost forgot to mention- the name’s Cyno! Or Director Cyno if you want to be formal. Now let me show you around!” 

Eve continued listening to the introduction video with her headphones, and the scene transitioned to the director walking into a classroom, then into a cafeteria, through the school store, each explaining the features of each. Finally, he then went through a terminal down a set of ramps. 

“And here’s the crown jewel of the Blueberry Academy, the Terarium!”

There was a flash of light, transitioning to an overhead view of the famous nature park. 

Eve watched with rapt attention at the video showing short shots of each of the biomes. It was almost like watching a nature documentary, seeing such natural environments. She found it hard to believe that such a place was entirely artificial, and underwater to boot. She listened to the director's narration on top of the clips shown.

“Magnificent isn’t it? With state-of-the-art technology, we’ve been able to seamlessly recreate the climate and ecology of some of the majestic environments found around the world. I sure put a lot of sweat and tears - not to mention a pretty penny - into this. But it was all worth it! Just so that you students can enjoy it! Welcome to the Blueberry Academy!”

The scene ended with the director’s smiling face as it transitioned to an end card showing the academy’s logo. 

Eve turned off her phone and faced out the window from where she was sitting. The view from the boat was stunning, watching the sparkling ocean as far as the eye could see. The ride was smooth yet speedy like she was flying across the ocean like a wingull. She could see a building standing by itself in the distance that was rapidly coming closer and closer, so Eve decided to start putting away her things.  

The boat came to a smooth stop, with a soft thump indicating that it was properly docked. Eve grabbed her backpack and travel bag and walked down the royal blue carpeted aisle of the ship, towards the exit, and down the gangplank. 

It was all so…blue. The deep sparkling sea, the colored walls of the school, the bright lights that surrounded Eve. It was all in different shades of blue. Eve supposed the colors fit for a place known as the Blueberry Academy, but even she didn’t expect so much blue. 

As she gripped her bags a little tighter, she was careful not to bump into any of the other students as they were crossing the bridge from the terminal into the academy. Eve looked out into the vast sea, on either side reaching to the horizon. She could hear waves lapping at the building and distant cries of water pokemon if she tried hard enough, but it was mostly drowned out by the other students talking to each other. 

“Hey, they must be the new freshmen!”

“Really? Aw, they look so adorable! Can you believe we were that young? So wide-eyed and eager…”

“What are you talking about? We were freshmen just last year!”

Eve felt mildly uncomfortable from being openly stared at and talked about, so she ducked her head down and sped up her stroll into a brisk walk. 

A few students were milling about the central battle court, sitting in the bleachers or standing to the side. Eve was half tempted to ask them directions to the dorm, but it seemed like they were all so wrapped up in conversation that she didn’t have the heart to bother them. She figured that there would be signs anyway, so she walked towards the main gate that led deeper into the building.

The dorm room was a lot bigger than she expected, probably larger than her own bedroom back home. It was furnished with a queen-sized bed, wide desk, overhead shelves, a cabinet, closet, kitchenette fit with a microwave and hotplate, and a rather spacious bathroom. 

Eve kicked off her shoes at the entrance and dropped her bags off near the desk before plopping herself down on the bed. She had to wake up early to catch the boat, plus navigating the school and being around so many people had already drained her energy. Eve felt a headache coming on, she didn’t know if she could fully pay attention in class, but it was just the first day, right? It would only be introductions and going over the syllabus, after which she didn’t think there would be much else. 

Well, her first class was in an hour and it took 15 minutes to get to class, so that means she should leave 20 minutes beforehand to give her a five-minute grace period in case something happened. That means she has 40 minutes to unpack her stuff and get ready. 

Doing these mental calculations had worsened the throbbing head. Eve sighed deeply and put her hand on her face. 

“One thing at a time,” Eve thought to herself. 

“Okay, first take some pain medicine, and then a shower to freshen and wake herself up, then I’ll change into her uniform and unpack. I should have enough time…hopefully.”

Standing outside a classroom door, Eve glanced at her phone to make sure she was at the right room. The screenshot of her student information showed that her homeroom class was 1-4, and she was standing outside the room with a sign that said 1-4, so she was sure she was in the right place. And with 3 minutes to spare too. 

“Be polite and respectful. Show you’re interested by facing them and nodding along. But most of all, be a friend to those around you,” Eve softly repeated her mother’s advice to herself. Mustering up courage, Eve walked through the door.

Eve briefly glanced around the room from the doorway and spotted an empty desk near the front. Good thing, even though she wore glasses she still had terrible eyesight so sitting closest to the board would make things easier for her. She put her bag below her desk, sat down, and pulled out her laptop. As she waited for it to boot up, Eve glanced around the classroom. 

As expected, it was all very modern. The board at the front of the room was a giant touchscreen and the ‘windows’ outside seemed to be screens as well, showing a perfectly blue sky. Even though the classroom was underwater it seemed they put the screens so that the students wouldn’t feel claustrophobic. The desks and chairs were sleek and new, with not a single scratch on them. It was a huge difference from her old school, where it was all cramped and rickety. Eve was reminded of a time beforehand where she was sitting at her desk and one of the fluorescent tube lights above had come loose and fallen on top of her. Eve was wildly embarrassed, but it wasn’t all that bad because the light hadn't shattered so she wasn’t too injured, and the school had compensated her with a gift card. She was hugely doubtful that something like that would happen at the Blueberry Academy. The lights overhead were energy-efficient LED bulbs, and from what she could see from the light switch by the door, adjustable with a knob.

Most of the desks were occupied, seeing that it was only just a few minutes until class started. All of them were either on their phones or talking to other students. One in particular was talking loudly, waving his arms out animatedly while holding a…frying pan? Huh. 

“Um, excuse me…can I sit here…?”

Eve turned to the person addressing her. It was another student who was standing at the desk adjacent to hers, looking rather skittish with his hand clutching at the hem of his shirt. When Eve looked at his face, the student’s eyes darted to the side.

“Sure, you can sit there. I’m not reserving it for anybody.”

The other student nodded and sat down without another word. While he was pulling out his things from his backpack, Eve took another glance at him. 

He had black medium length hair, though there was a lot of it obscuring his face, almost like a mask. His movements seemed jumpy and fidgety, with his hands in his backpack rummaging around for something. It made Eve feel a little bad, though seeing another student be nervous on the first day like her brought a little relief.  She wanted to comfort the other student, to show that she was friendly and maybe make him less nervous. 

“Hi, my name’s Eve. It's nice to meet you.” Eve added a small smile, similar to how she remembered her mother would do when introducing herself to others. 

The other boy darted his eyes to meet hers briefly, before staring down at his bag.

“I’m Kieran…i-it's nice to meet you too…”

He stayed silent after that.

“Should I continue the conversation?” Eve thought frantically to herself. “What should I say? I read that a good icebreaker was to bring up a topic with common ground, but what do I have in common with him?”

“How are you liking school so far?” Eve decided to ask. 

“Umm… I guess it’s fine. There’s a lot of people… but the school’s also huge too. And there’s a lot of things to do I guess…”

“Yeah, I heard that there’s lots of amenities here. Apparently, there’s a lounge room with free snacks, so I was going to check it out after class.”

“Really? Maybe I’ll go too…”

Just then, the professor walks into the class and all the other students quiet down. He sets his laptop at the podium and turns it on, before facing the class.

“Good morning everyone! And if it hasn’t already been said, welcome to the Blueberry Academy. I’ll be your professor for this class. First, let’s go over the syllabus and then we’ll switch to some battling basics.”

From her dorm room, Eve sat down at her desk and opened her computer. She had meant to look at the virtual classroom that her teacher mentioned and do the introduction assignment, but she really didn’t feel like it. She had felt exhausted after the long day and didn’t want to do any work. So instead, Eve pulled out her phone. 

There was a notification by her texting app so she opened it up.

“Hi honey, I wanted to see if you were doing good”

It was from her mom, sent a few hours ago. Eve felt a little bad, she was exploring the academy and had dinner and had completely forgotten to check her phone. Eve contemplated texting back, but thought that calling her mother would be better than just back-and-forth texting.

Ring ring… ring ring…

“Hello Eve, and good evening!  Did you have a nice first day? Did you eat dinner? How are you doing?”

Eve was briefly stunned by her mother’s bombardment of questions from over the phone, but she quickly recovered.

“Hello mother, and yes I had a good first day. I already ate dinner at the cafeteria, it was some rice with chicken and broccoli.”

“Ooooh, that sounds good. Better than me, I just had some hot dogs!”

“Well, I also had an ice cream sundae. They decorated it with all this crazy candy and whipped cream, I thought it might fall over.”

“Sounds yummy! What did you do in class? Learn anything new?”

Eve signed fondly at her mother’s questioning and leaned back in her chair.

“Apparently the classes are structured way differently. The teacher said that we’ll have a few days of lectures in the classroom, then a class outside, and a few days off with an assignment we have to do.”

“Wow, so you must have a lot of time to goof off and have fun then!”

Eve laughed openly at her mother’s joke.

“I don’t think that will be the case. I was looking at the syllabus,” Eve scrolled down on her computer screen, “and there should be some projects in the future that will take a couple of days. That and some short essays that we’ll have to do.”

“I don’t have much worries, I know you’ll get things in on time. Anything else you did in class?”

“It was mostly introduction things and some things about type matchups.”

“Oh, you already know that stuff! It must have been an easy first day.”

“Yeah, but actually, I’m kind of tired. This academy’s huge and walking around really tuckered me out.”

“I’ll leave you to rest then, it is a school night. I love you! Good night!”

“Good night, and I love you too!”

Eve disconnected the call and ran a hand through her hair. It was getting rather late and she still needed to take a shower. 

“Well, I’ll just do the assignment tomorrow. We have a week to do it after all,” Eve muttered to herself.

She stretched in her chair, feeling her shoulders popping. Tomorrow’s class was going to be out in the field, which should be fun. Although it sounded tiring, she was looking forward to it. 

[shuro]

i unlocked turtwigs in sv and when i went over to their biome, i forgot i'd had a humungo power grass sandwich active so like twelve spawned all around me

i pulled out my camera to snap some pictures, and one decided to run up to me to say hi

i Immediately got attached to it and encountered it to capture it.

turtwig is one of my favorite starters bc it was my first pokemon in diamond as a ten year old, where i had a female turtwig named Leafy

i thought "if this turtwig is somehow female, this is FATE"

and????

[crushing-the-crimson]

Snow Biome! That's not what I expected lol

Hahahahaha TWO CHEST

I was trying to explore a cave, and it went waaaaaaaay further down than I was prepared for. Possibly time to look for sky islands, see if I can't find a horseshoe and/or a balloon

Pls pls pls let me get back to get my silver before night falls DX

(I did make it btw, got my 90 silver and teleported the fuck home before I could get got. Then I realized why the merchant wasn't coming. I forgot to add Safe Housing in my base lol

Trying to get a liiiiiittle more cactus without pissing off the Vulture. (I am very bad at underestimating vultures)

Cmon! Come in the base! (Why does no one want to come live in my base ever)

2 things: First, hubris is a bitch. Second... "voluntold to donate blood" is funny

Making a spot I can grab falling stars from (and space for more chests later) and I found some ore! I thought it was stone at first!

I know this isn't night vale, but I refuse to believe my Dye Trader's last name is anything but McDaniels

YOYOOOOOOOOOOOO Make me a yoyo man!

The name of the world is the Route of Fallen Stars. It was randomly generated and I liked it so I kept it. It's a pre-hardmode corruption world. (because i did t even beatone boss in it) Half the town ws initally gonna be undergound because Kris thought it'd be cool aesthetically but then a gnome showed up in the are that lead to the mines and nearly killed Kris so he changed his mind

There is a growing settlement called Sunstar Town, named for it's sunflowers and the world it's located in. Or at least it was growing, progress seemingly halted recently with Kris's disappearance.

The townies! I only really made lroe for wyatt and kris tbh

Kris - Player character (he/him preferred but any pronouns but she/her are fine)

Founded the town alongside Wyatt the guide who he tends to bully. He'd be really upset if anything happened to Wyatt, though, because he actually likes Wyatt a lot.

Kris was kind of an asshole tbh. He's very eccentric and was always running amock too and fro doing who knows what. Mostly takes charge in expanding and actually progressing, and does all the building and stuff. He thought he was tough and strong but he's actually kind of a wimp

Kris had this weird ability? Thing? He only recently discovered it after he and Wyatt first set up shop. When he dies, a gravestone appears where he died, and he falls out of the sky back into town good as new, losing a lot of his money though. He claimed doesn't know why this happens, but he became reckless and started to not care about death or getting super hurt because of it. It made him overconfident. Also for some reason he liked to collect the graves he leaves behind, he had a chest dedicated to keeping them in.

When he dies he leaves behind a gravestone, and from this gravestone he can come back to life. Only he and maybe Wyatt knew thjs.

He doesn't like Dolbere, for some reason.

He poked fun of all the townies, Wyatt the most, but he did go out of his way to build homes and furnish and ecorate them, and if he hated them he cpuld just leave He was even building a new storefront for Edwin!

Ways Kris has died:

Vulture. If i remember right

Rolling cactus whule exploring the antillion tunnels

Understimated how big a dynamites explosion would be and exploded himself while exploring underground in the ice biome. He lost the gravestone for this one so he's upset about that.

Tried to fend off the slimes during a slime rain, but they all gathered around and clung to him, and soon dozens of slimes stuck to him and fused into a King Slime. It's not 100% certain if he's dead, because no gravestone spawned, but where would it spawn, with all that slime around it? If he was alive, how would he escape? It's nigh impossible to get a good look at him in there, but he never blinks, he doen't seem to control his movements, he seems to sag. His body just moves with the slime. Dead or alive, he's not coming back from this one.

Wyatt - Guide (he/they)

Cofounded the town with his old friend Kris. Always ends up with burns and the like even though he doesnt even have a furnace in his house or whatever, but Kris always bamdageD him up before anyone couldn ask where they're from. Dating Philosir, who lives with him. And maybe Robyn idk I haven't decided. Throuple.

Lives with Philosir in their own house they share together

King of the owls. And by that I mean he likes to bring owls inside his house (i didnt give him a floor at first and owls kept spawning in it) and they will listen to him. Theyre the friends of the owls <3

This is actually canon to the games but the guide IS the wall of flesh so so is wyatt. He's cursed to become it ot something idk i pribavly had an explination but I forgot, but when Kris was gonna defeat I t it would kill Wyatt which would have made Kris fucking upset but then Wyatt was gonna get revived but that got cutbout because I decided to jill off Kris before that so now Wyatt is the one upset I guess

Edwin - Merchant (he/him)

Oldest townie in terms of actual age and how long hes been in hte town. Has a store under Kris's hut but Kris was building him a new, better one bove the ground! But then Kris got slimed. Sad! Edwin thinks this is greatly inconvenient

Philosir - Dye Trader (he/him)

The dye trader I forgot everything but hes dating Wyatt.

Dolbere - Demolitionist (he/him)

Demolitionist dwarf Kris didn't like him so he made his house in the room Kris made of nothing but ice.

Robyn - Zoologist (she/they)

Wyatts really good friend! They bomd over their love of and ability to talk to animals.

Mauro - Painter (he/him)

Newest town member! Hes the raising obe eyebrow emoji. Thinks everyones kinda weird.

Salem - Town Cat (she/her)

Kitty <3

the town as a whole reminds ne of that meme of agroup of people all at once thinking "good thing im the only normal one here"
