period sex and aftercare and /BUGGY/ are so big brained can i ask for those two plus dacryphilia with buggy and croco-baby and maybe a secret third character (your choice) if you feel up to it!!! Thank yooouuu!!! :o)

Alright, I got ONE MORE KINK ASK after this and I'll be all done with them \o/ Holy shit I can't believe how many asks I got for this (And how much fun I've had dealing with them.)

It helps a lot that I love kinks, kinky people, one piece characters, and learning/educating >.>

Alright we got Period Sex, Aftercare, Dacryphilia (the crying kink) - For Buggy and Sir Crocodile - and since you called him Croco-baby I'll add Donquixote Doflamingo to this.

I am surprised with as often as I feel like I've seen the crying kink pop up that I haven't already done it for ANY of these guy =O

And also yay \o/ AFTERCARE ASK \lol/

Go go alphabetical!

Buggy:

Period Sex - FUCK Yes - It's messy, it's red, it's kind of flashy actually, and Buggy loves it. You don't grow up on the most famous pirate ship in the world without being comfortable with all sorts of things. I feel like everyone under Roger's flag was, we'll say educated, and as such I can't see anyone from that crew being put off by menstruation.

Plus, orgasms are a cure for some, and there's one way to find out if it works for you to alleviate any cramping you may be feeling. You're going to be a complete mess by the time it's done though, Buggy's a little blood-lusty, surprisingly maybe, but he gets feral, and more so than with lipstick or makeup, he loves to "mark" you.

Aftercare - Oh god you don't even know - He is a terribly stressed clown, but I also think he's a big damned softie too. Buggy really is just as comfortable brushing your hair as he is ordering the crew around. Maybe more so, honestly. All that hair he has though, and that makeup he wears, the man's skin and hair care routines are on point as much as his eyeliner game. He will take care of you after every session, even if he subbing or bottoming some of it.

I think Buggy's desire to serve is almost as strong as Sanji's honestly. If you're an important person to him, he doesn't want to let you down, and he will devour your praises. But he's also The Captain™, and no matter what his role was, he's going to provide you proper aftercare.

Dacryphilia - No. - Sure sometimes tears happen. Sometimes you're so overwhelmed they slip out, sometimes you are chocking on the impressive package this man has. Sometimes tears happen, but Buggy doesn't like tears. He doesn't want to see you cry. If your makeup smears he wants it to be cause of sweat and pleasure and touch, not because you're crying. He's not even good at handling happy tears, let alone any other kind.

Buggy's more of let-him-do-the-crying-for-both-of-you type. He'd happily be the only one stressed to the ends of his capacity, than to have you worry. (Which probably worries you xD it's a bit of a cycle like that).

Sir Crocodile:

Period Sex - Yes - He doesn't mind the mess. The cause doesn't bother him. The only reason it doesn't rate higher is because it's hard to know if your period will heighten your pleasure or your pain - that lack of control bothers him, no matter how well or fast he can adjust accordingly.

He also doesn't see it as marking you the same way some others do. It's your blood, not his. It has a scent that isn't his or his cigars. If anything it's an annoyance because you should smell like him, and you shouldn't ever be hurt enough to smell like blood. You shouldn't be close enough to violence to even know what blood smells like, at least as far as he's concerned. But he'll soothe your cramps and discomfort in any way he can when it's that time.

Aftercare - Oh god you don't even know - As said before, Crocodile is all about control, and aftercare is required for control. You don't want to leave your little bottom/sub spiraling with all sorts of thoughts on their own. Whether we're talking toxic AU or not. Aside from the control though, he enjoys it. It's time to bond, to discuss, to connect. The more he knows about you the more control he can exert.

The more control you can hand over.

Plus, as beautiful as you are in his clutches, you're just as beautiful in his care.

Dacryphilia - FUCK Yes - Oh please cry for him. Sob in terror or pleasure or pain, he's not picky. Your face in tears is as lovely as your face contorted in pleasure. The only requirement is that those tears are his fault. No one else is allowed to make you cry.

As much as he will pull tears from you - and most sobs of pleasure as long as you're good - he'll kiss them away so sweetly. Brushing them aside so kindly, and with such praise.

Donquixote Doflamingo:

Period Sex - FUCK Yes - Not only is it a mess, it's a bloody mess. Doffy's a bit twisted and I can see him actually smearing the mess all over you while he's taking a break between railing you. He's not doing it so much to mark you, as he is to almost degrade you. He'll tell you how dirty you are, covered in blood and cum and tears - he 100% gets into degrading you during it.

Sometimes being on your period can make you more sensitive to pleasure, and sometimes it makes you more sensitive to pain - it doesn't matter as far as he's concerned. He'll get his pleasure at the least, and he'll enjoy turning you into a mess in the meantime.

Aftercare - Yes - Unless he's truly into you, don't take this as some kind of kindness. Aftercare is a good time to learn and bond, and for Doffy that generally means it's a great time to reinforce all his manipulations. It lets you think he cares (again, *maybe* he does), and pulls you closer into his grasp.

A truly skilled puppeteer doesn't necessarily hide the strings, he just makes sure you don't pay attention to them when you should be >.>

Dacryphilia - Oh god you don't even know - Cry for him, please. Crumble to pieces in pleasure, fear or pain - whatever it may be that you've earned at the point in time. If you're overwhelmed in pleasure he'll promise you such sweetness and devotion. If you're overwhelmed with fear he'll admonish you softly and forgive you magnanimously. If pain stains your face he'll have you begging for forgiveness, a forgiveness he'll bestow on you when he feels like it.

Perhaps after you've gone raw and hoarse from tears and begging.

Much like others who enjoy making their partners cry, it is a pleasure reserved entirely for him and no one else. Members of his immediate family may get an understanding pass, circumstances depending, but anyone beyond that is likely to be dealt with swiftly.

(Article) Going back to Cyberpunks Night City never felt so great.

Alright. I had my reservations about Cyberpunk 2077s Update 2.0. But after completing Act 1 in one sitting last night, I can honestly say that this is the best time to hop back in and play through it all again. If you haven't played it, then NOW is the time.

It's been 2 years, 10 months, and 12 days since this game first cursed our screens with a disappointing buggy mess of a game. From top to bottom, exploits and balance issues were terrible. From item duplication to infinite money glitches, from terrain pop in and out to litteral skyscrapers disappearing. You name it, Cyberpunk had it.

However, even with all the issues it had, the foundation was there. But the house needed a remodel, an interior decorator, and time for them to fix it. As in every remodel, it will never have a straight line to completion. You start with the big stuff first as they make the game playable, then move on to the smaller things like the combat, skill trees and everything else.

When this game was at its best and running smoothly, it was stunning, graphically insane. The writing and the voice acting were equally as impeccable. It all came down to how it ran. At launch, I couldn't recommend this game to anyone. Now, with this update, I can recommend this game to everyone.

With fresh eyes on it and expectations lowered by a lot right from the jump, the game somehow looks better than I remember, which I didn't think would be entirely possible. The dialog, as outlandish as it is, was delivered excellently. The details in their face match perfectly to their tone when they are happy or sad, they are hiding contempt or malice it all matches.

The combat has also been a spot of large improvement. Whether you're going in guns blazing, stealth around and pick your enemies one by one, or just be a futuristic tech ninja using hacking and a katana to slice through your foes it all works and is a viable strategy. Sure, some enemies can feel like bullet sponges, but the improved feedback, recoil, sound, and muzzle flash all make it feel like you're really the one pulling the trigger.

The police in Night City also increased their budget size. They have been equipped with tactical training and AI to better combat the "Thugs" of Night City. They will also be setting roadblocks, shooting out their windows, and chasing you down all over the city. Even the slightest infraction will set them off, so be careful with the boot licking pigs. However, if you are looking into some car chases and vehicular combat sounds fun, make sure you check out the all new vehicle mounted weapons you can equip to cause maximum mayhem.

Now, let's get to just a couple of things that I still don't like. Vehicles still seem floaty. You'll be going 90 mph, but it still only feels like 20. I also experienced severe frame drops here and there. Usually, it only occurred during maximum load or set circumstances, like when walking up to the mirror to look at yourself or getting into an elevator or two.

My stance hasn't changed. I still think the new Phantom Liberty expansion should be free. But having the game play this good is something that every company whose game released... less than ideally should strive for. I'm proud to say that this game is worth every penny.

Has this article changed your mind? Do you plan on hopping in again? Or the first time? Want to talk anything gaming? Let me know! I stream every weekday, 8pm-12am. The link is below. I'd love to see you there!

I'm playing Carol in the new game! I'm loving it so far

Mini review for halfway through the main mode under the cut

Freedom Planet 2 is so much fun, the series continues to provide incredibly solid titles. The original still holds up, but this gameplay is slick not just by the first game's standards but for other platformers I've played. You will use every mechanic available to you, stuff like the guard isn't underutilized, you really feel like you're fighting with everything you got. And the way stupid cool anime shit like running on water or parrying invincible attacks are just natural extensions of existing gameplay mechanics and not some out-of-place quick time events like in other games is *chef's kiss*. Also it's just downright gorgeous, Tyson Tan and the other artists have such a strong art direction that's so appreciated in the indie scene. The OST goes insanely hard as expected, even if you don't pick up the game then give it and the original a listen if you like similar sounding music from other games in the genre.

My only cons rn is that the story is a mess again but for different reasons from the first. The gameplay pausing for the plot isn't as disruptive as the first which is a positive. I was worried about the hubs breaking the pacing even more, but it keeps the fluffy stuff optional. You can just run right past that if you want to get to the action. The first game I don't think the story was bad so much as just kinda mediocre, but this one dear lord does it love pay off with no set up. Stuff just comes out of nowhere and it's like walking into a convo you have no context for or investment in. I really wish classic mode wasn't locked behind a playthrough this time, but at least the cutscenes can be skipped I guess. It's also really buggy and at the moment the difficulty spikes are ridiculous, but the devs are already working on fixing it.

Maybe wait the bugs out or for the console release if that's something you care about, but if you are looking for a slick and fast platformer that tests your reflexes then I highly recommend this.

a6 chapter 6 thots. its long

Overall: despite the very buggy bedroom scene, genuinely enjoyed it! having that soft moment with our LI was *chefs kiss*

i will say, im conflicted about the tilarin sequence. nerissa being alive derails a lot of possible development and angst i thought might happen. Opens the route for new bad feelings to happen, of course. Like, okay i dont need to be here anymore, i never needed to be here. Regardless of how much Nerissa might love us and the crew may care about us I can see this dredging up a lot of shitty feelings from living in the palace.

On one hand my traveler is happy about this and relieved that a burden of 'what are you going to do after zovack' is no longer on her shoulders but like, in terms of narrative, idk if i like it. If nothing else, it feels too soon and for some reason, too easy? Hard to explain that one

It makes sense that Nerissa would want us to get to her ASAP, if we're as dear to her as she implies

I don't know how we'll be able to direct our travelers after this and i doubt ill actually be able to do it but: i can see my traveler becoming completely overwhelmed by all of this and shutting down. Like, okay, thats whats going to happen regardless if the game lets me. ill fit it in

really hoping Nerissa's not planning to re-establish the Peg'asi monarcy b/c its what got us into this mess in the first place. if she is i'd like if we could convince her a different form of government would be better.

im also hoping Nerissa does not end up traveling with us. my heart is happy she's not dead but her being on the a6 would rub me the wrong way for some reason.

there's quite a bit of 'she's stealing our spotlight!' going around but I a. don't think Nerissa is going to be in the forefront of our narrative for very long (assuming she survives, problems with the k'merii seem to hound us/the crew) and b. the game is still about our character, i understand that it feels like the rug got pulled out from under us though.

also, it's been repeatedly stated that something bad can't happen to the traveler b/c it would take them out of the narrative, but this kind of feels like whats happening. not physically or forcefully but we are no longer needed to accomplish the og goal. (tho if i think about it, we never really were lol)

i really do hope the next part comes out rather quickly, b/c i think part of the reactions im seeing are in response to this chapter ending the way it did. there is no real resolution or what this means for us.

basically, im waiting to see where this goes. i need to see where this goes before really forming a final opinion on Nerissa being back

Fun fact: i had this AU bouncing around in my head that one of our siblings survived. our least favorite one. really just so my traveler could snap and beat the shit out of someone

[jennyforeigner]

Just finished Pokemon Scarlet. tl;dr not really a fan. I'm just...not really sure what exactly was the breaking point for me? Probably spoilers ahead.

The thing is buggy. We all know it. But like...I grew up emulating PS2 bootlegs at 50% speed, so like, not a deal breaker. Sure It's not as polished as say Legends Arceus which came out about a year ago, so that's not a great look, but isn't Ubisoft or Bethesda bad. The game only crashed on me the once and it didn't cost me any progress. Obviously this is the result of Gamefreak wanting to churn out a new Pokemon game every year, but I don't think there's anything I can say about that that hasn't already been said better.

I caught myself thinking, what is this game about? My gut reaction is this game is basically four separate, unrelated stories and that may be true in the sense that their plots don't really influence each other, but I think dismissing them like misses something. I think they all share themes: they're all about passion, about what we value and what we are willing to do to get it. Victory Road is about love of the self; Starfall Street is about love of one's friends; Path of Legends is about love of one's partner (specifically partner pokemon, not like romantic partner). They each represent variations on this theme to give a rounded view on what passion is allowed to look like.

At least, that's the text. And I usually use text in a very broad sense to refer to really any work of art when considered as a whole, but in this case I mean the literal words on the screen. The characters talk a lot about feeling passionate about things, but I don't feel it when I'm playing. Paldea is not a lush, vibrant world. It is a flat, plain world. The geography doesn't excite me, the music is consistently restrained, and though some of the battles I had were real nail biters (two jump to mind, both against Titans), most of the others I experienced were just curb stomps. All the passion in my game play was brought by me.

There's a dearth of things to do or find in the world. I can go to raid crystal clearly marked on my map, but I quickly learned that most have no value to me outside of farming for exp. candies (which I infrequently used because I spent most of the game at whatever my current level cap was), and the raids themselves are kind of cluttered, janky messes. I can go to main plot points which were...fine, but usually starred five minute spotlight characters who quickly left the game alongside whichever of the three actual main characters was tied to that story line. And that's kind of it? The scattered items were never anything to get excited about. The pokemon themselves had such broad spawn ranges that I never really needed to seek out one.

The game radiates this emptiness. An empty world filled with empty people. And I can have my fun in it, but the game doesn't care. What else can you expect from overworked and underpaid developers. It has all the content one might reasonably expect. But it's just content. It's not passion. There's nothing I can point at in this game and say "the devs were having so much fun when they made this." All the good ideas are so underbaked that it seems they were taken out of the oven the second the dough began to rise. And now that it has cooled down in the basket of public scrutiny, it's all just kind of...deflated.

Nintendo has done open worlds before. Breath of the Wild and Pokemon Legends Arceus come to mind. Both of those games you can feel the passion. (Both of those games also run better, but I digress) Both games are extremely expressive and reveal a lot about the artists behind them. Scarlet and Violet are telling in their own way. This game yearns desperately to feel something. It begs for you to bring some passion so that if only for a moment it can feel like it has elevated itself to art.

Did I enjoy the game? Sure, parts of it. Pokemon has been such a mainstay of my life for so long, I can't imagine a world where I don't find some joy in a Pokemon game. But does Scarlet get the credit for that? I brought my love of Pokemon and found Pokemon that I love. That's me generating art and emotion and meaning on my end. In many ways, I had fine in spite of this game. The fun I had, I could have gotten as easily and more of it from almost any other Pokemon game.

Maybe that's the problem. Maybe it being Pokemon is the problem. I've played some other creature collectors. I loved Monster Sanctuary and Nexomon was okay and Shin Megami Tensei IV had my heart for a while, and I always come back to Persona, and despite myself I like Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth. But not a one of those is Pokemon. Pokemon has always been in my life in a way those other games haven't. I have these expectations for a Pokemon game that I don't bring with me to other games. I have a passion for it I don't feel for other games.

I knew before Scarlet and Violet came out that they would be janky. The promotional materials had dreadful aliasing and a ton of dropped frames. Nintendo advertised the performance issues. I would not say I was riding the hype train. Not since I got burned with X and Y and Sun and Moon. I've known better than to expect the world with AAA games for nigh on a decade now. But it's Pokemon. Pokemon!

I was ready to look for joy where it could be found. I was ready to look hard and look for a while. But that all runs on the assumption that there is joy to be found. I was not prepared to be asked to create my own joy.

Other games run on the idea of making your own fun. Minecraft, Animal Crossing, Trailmakers, The Sims. I am not opposed to being asked to create my own fun. But those games all gave me toys for doing that. ScarVi gives me nothing. It is passionless but constantly reminds me how much fun it is to be passionate. The plot keeps reminding me of the things this game is lacking. There is no fun to be found: you must make your own.

And that's what made the parts I liked stand out. I had been in control of the difficulty curve and stumbled into things harder than they should have been and so me fixing my own mistakes was fun. The game didn't do that. I did that, on accident, because I didn't know another way to do it yet.

Is there fun to be had in ScarVi? Sure. I had some fun. But you can have fun easier in any other game you care to compare it to, so why would any one bother with this one? Who cares? It sure doesn't seem like Gamefreak does.

An Analysis of Sonic 06: Introduction

I've wanted to do an analysis of this infamous game for ages, and now here we are. If you're new to my blog, welcome!

Before I begin, let me introduce myself. I'm Rose Saffron (she/her), and I've been a Sonic fan since I was old enough to hold a controller. My point of entry into this series weren't the games though, it was Sonic X. I didn't own the consoles some Sonic games were on at the time, and even when I was able to get my hands on some of the games (Sonic Rush, Unleashed) I uh... couldn't finish them. They were too difficult for my baby self, and I eventually just watched playthroughs of all the games in the series to get a sense of what was up.

All this to say that I wasn't drawn to the Sonic franchise as a gaming series, but for its narratives. I love the characters and the lore established in the Adventure era, and the experimentation of the Dark era. SA2 and Sonic 06 solidified Shadow as my favorite Sonic character, and the ambition oozing out of Sonic 06 shaped my expectations for what this franchise is all about. It's probably not a surprise to mention I haven't really enjoyed the games since Sonic Colors, nor the new characters brought in (besides Infinite, but that's for another time).

It may seem that doing an analysis of Sonic 06 in 2022 is tantamount to beating the rotting carcass of a horse that died nearly two decades ago, but I have a reason for doing this. Just glancing at the results of Sonic 06 discussions will reveal that the reception is overwhelming negative, even today. Not without reason. The game is buggy and unfinished, the plot is one giant incoherent mess, and there are elements present that were absent in previous Sonic games that were done so poorly that many fans never want to see them done again (Ex: less cartoony proportions, a grand and high-stakes storyline, a human as a main character and love interest etc.) Seeing these cold-ass takes is par for the course, but I would like to focus on something else: the potential of the game's narrative. Because Sonic 06's narrative potential is fucking massive, and its execution is laughably bad. And I'd like to go through it, bit by bit. I won't touch on 06's gameplay, partly because that has been done to death by multiple people over the years, and partly because I didn't play the game and don't care about how awful the loading screens are or how mini Sonic can fly. That's not what I'm here for. I'm here for the plot, the characters, the setting, and all the vibes✨. I won't just be looking at what was, but also what could have been, had this game's developers not been a skeleton crew crushed under insane crunch times, and I'd like to give special attention to the characters introduced in this game: Mephiles, Silver, and Elise. Especially Elise. Mostly Elise.

The next entry will cover some background info about the game before we jump headfirst into the dumpster fire. It should be out on May 18 at 9 PM. Stay tuned. ✨

2. Favourite chapter?

So I've been playing dbd since a tiny bit before blight or a tiny bit after I can't remember, so I'm going to split it up into favorite chapter I've been at the release for and favorite chapter in general.

Favorite chapter release was probably Hellraiser, because I love the franchise so much and even with all the "making a mountain out of a mole hill" that went on around the chapter release, I fucking love his voice lines and I think he's a really fun and dynamic killer to play as and play against. (unless you're solo then he's kind of a solo stomper tbh) Though I am very well aware I am unique in that I love playing against killers that don't let me sit on gens and make the match more engaging like Wesker, Knight, Singularity, Pig etc.

Favorite chapter in general: Demise Of The Faithful. I fucking love the Plague, I love her design, I love her lore, I lover her game play, her cosmetics are fucking incredible, she genuinely is one of the killers that I am delighted to see every time I see one. I love Aldiris. Especially since they added one corrupted fountain, it was such a minor buff, but changed how you'd play her and play against her in such a positive way. Like how it went from basically being an m1 killer, because no one would cleanse to "Oh shit I actually have to think about when I want to cleanse now."

I think she has some really fun add ons that aren't just your usual buffing her power and genuinely she is such a fun strategic killer to play. She is both a set up and projectile killer and its so much fun, plus she came out with Corrupt Intervention that is a key perk for a lot of set up killers in the game currently. Genuinely if you've never played the plague would highly recommend, she has such a high skill ceiling and expression.

5. Favourite killer to play as?

Normally I'd say the Knight, but as I keep talking about, because it's come up a lot online this week from my own circles: he's is such a buggy fucking mess that you cannot play him. You play him and set down a patrol path just to get stunned by a pallet you're 50 feet away from because you ended your path near it, you can't use your power 90% of the time because you're "too close to an object", map of the realm is needed to get any use out of your guards 99% of the time, even then your guards move so slow they're never going to get a hit and their ai is so easy to trick, you have to sit in place to even use your patrol paths to break pallets or gens, so you're ultimately losing more distance than you gain 99% of the time you use it, etc. etc.

He has so many issues and it's past the point of frustration in playing him for me to just me being sad that I can't play my favorite killer, because he's virtually unplayable most games and this is after he was kill switched for 1 or 2 months. All of his bugs and issues remain the exact same, because of how poorly coded he is. Genuinely he is incredibly fun and interesting when I can play him, but to just be able to play him is a challenge in itself where you're fighting the game every 3 seconds.

7. What's a license you'd like to see added to the game?

Look I'ma be entirely honest with you all: I do not care about what license is added to the game. There's ones like f.naf where I'm like eh... I'd rather see a more deserving license added that actually fits the games style, but I genuinely do not care if they're added. (I mean this 100%: I hate S.pringtraps design, I'd rather it be V.anny or N.ightmarrionette if anyone is added)

I guess if I had to pick one though it'd be like The Thing or Outlast.

12. Favourite perk to use?

Old Blast Mine, no contest. I literally have no idea why they nerfed it, it was such a meme perk that had no real use to it.

15. Favourite chase music?

Legion, Oni, or Knight- I'm a slut for drums to be honest.

It was late in the afternoon when Splinter had finished making himself a cup of tea. As he placed Ol' Skelly back onto the stovetop, his ears pricked towards the kitchen's entrance, where he could distinctly hear the pitter-patter of feet tottering down the hallway, followed by a series of sharp whispers.  "Boys," Splinter addressed, "Didn't I tell you four that you could only have your snacks after you tidied up your bedrooms?" It wouldn't have been the first time his turtle-children attempted to sneak into the snack cabinet and reward themselves for a job half-done.  "U-Um, actually, it's just us three," Mikey answered meekly.   Splinter raised a brow, "Three?" He turned around and spotted Raph, Leo, and Mikey huddled together in the doorway, their expressions mixed. "Where's Purple?"  Raph pushed Leo forward, earning a scowl from his younger brother, "Leo and Donnie were fighting again, and then Donnie ran off somewhere!"  "Tattle-tale," Leo grumbled, folding his arms with a huff. Splinter sighed, "Blue? I thought we talked about using our nice words towards each other?" He knelt before Leo, who fidgeted under his father's attention.  "But I did!" Leo's passionate claim wavered. He guiltily stared down at his feet, "Well, I mean, I did at first. But he started it!" The slider's fire returned, only quelled by Splinter, who pressed a finger up to his mouth. "That's not important," Splinter said, "What's important now is finding your brother and setting things right."  "But, we looked everywhere for him!" Mikey whimpered, tears threatening to spill from his watery eyes.  Raph began counting off on his fingers, "We searched the bathroom, all of our bedrooms and the living room! I even looked inside your chair!"   "I still think he could've flushed himself down the toilet," Leo mumbled to himself, earning another look of disapproval from Splinter.  "Then, it sounds like you three have a lot of backtracking to do!" Splinter patted Mikey's shell and took a moment to dry the box turtle's tears with his sleeve. "But worry not, my sons, for I will help you."                                                                -x- What Splinter had promised was a half-truth. While his boys double-checked their bedrooms, Splinter took his cup of tea into the living room. He could keep an eye out for Donnie while also keeping an eye on his favorite TV show.      Splinter shook his head upon discovering the state of disarray the living room was left in from Raph, Leo, and Mikey’s frantic search for Donnie. He decided he'd make the boys sort out the rest of the living room after supper. Splinter fixed the cushions of his armchair, made himself comfortable, sipped his tea, and then twirled the remote control between his fingers. Splinter's thumb hovered over the power button. Just before he could click it, there came a strange sound from close-by. Sniffle...  It was a soft, sad sound that made Splinter's ears twitch. He listened carefully and heard nothing. He shrugged, pointed the remote at the projector screen, and- Sniff... sniffle...  - there it was again! If Splinter was right, the noise was coming from beneath him? He slid out of his seat and checked underneath the armchair.  "Purple?" Splinter blinked. "What are you doing under there?" Donnie turned away from Splinter, burrowing further into his hoodie until he eventually disappeared into his shell. He sniffled again, and Splinter frowned.  "Surely, you can't be comfy down there?" Splinter held out his hand. "Why not come out and join me? We can watch Scorpion Treadmill together!" Splinter only needed to wait a few more seconds before he felt Donnie's hand lightly take ahold of his own. Splinter's fingers curled around the tiny hand and carefully helped Donnie out from under the recliner.  Splinter kept his word. He plopped back down in his seat and placed Donnie on his lap, who was still tucked inside his shell. Splinter turned on the TV and sipped his tea once more, setting the cup and saucer down on Donnie's back.  By the time the first commercial break came on, Donnie finally spoke up from within his shell, "Leo said he wished Laceface was his brother instead of me."  Splinter looked down at Donnie and lowered the volume on the TV, "Laceface? Oh! You mean the football you boys are always breaking things with? Now, why would Blue say something like that?"   "Because he's a big meanie," Donnie murmured sourly. "Now, Purple. What did we say about using our nice words towards each other?"  "Well, he is!" Donnie's head popped out of his shell, his eyes puffy from crying. "Me 'n Mikey were playing Jupiter Jim when Leo and Raph crashed our game with their stupid Sports Ball game!"  "Uh-huh," Splinter nodded, sipping his tea.  "And then Leo's trick pass caused Raph to break our moon buggy!"   "You don't say?"   "So I told Leo he owed us a new moon buggy, but he said it wasn't his fault our moon buggy broke so easily cuz it's cardboard! So then I said to him that it was his fault because it was his dum-dum trick pass that caused Raph to break our moon buggy in the first place! And then Leo said his trick pass wasn't dumb, and that I was the dumb one!"  Donnie went on. Splinter could see where all this was going. Indeed, it was a messy situation, though thankfully, he knew of a way to fix it. When Donnie finished recounting his side of the story, the young turtle was just as hurt when he had first hid under Splinter's armchair. Donnie lifted his glasses out of the way so he could wipe his eyes and swallowed the sob caught in his throat.   "Who am I kidding?" Donnie's shoulders sagged with defeat. "They'd probably care more about Laceface than me." Splinter began rubbing Donnie's back, hoping to calm him down, "You know that's not true. Your brothers care very much about you, including Blue!"  "Nuh-uh," Donnie shook his head in disbelief.  "Yuh-huh," Splinter answered, "Why, surely you must've heard them tearing this room apart while they were looking for you?"  "Well, yeah..." "Did you know they're still looking for you?" Splinter continued, "Why, they've been so worried about you!" "R-Really?"  "Really," Splinter petted the top of Donnie's head.  "Even Leo?" "Only one way to find out," Splinter cleared his throat, "BOYS!"  Splinter's bellow echoed off the walls of the lair. Donnie could hear his siblings clumsily stumble over each other as they piled into the living room, though none of them dared to approach Splinter's armchair, and with good reason too: they still hadn't found Donnie.  "Yeah, Pops?" Raph asked hesitantly. "Have you boys found Purple yet?" Splinter winked down at Donnie and signaled for him to stay quiet. Donnie, unsure of what Splinter was scheming, obediently covered his mouth with both of his hands.   "Um, n-no, not yet," Mikey spoke up with a sad tremor in his throat.   "Oh, that's too bad," Splinter lamented, "I suppose I will have to find you a new brother, huh? Maybe that football you boys love so much?" He mused aloud.  "What?!" Raph gasped, "Replace Donnie?!"  "With Laceface?!" Leo sounded just as upset as Raph and Mikey, which surprised Donnie. "You can't do that!" Leo protested.  "Why not?" Splinter questioned. "Didn't you say you'd rather have Laceface as your brother anyway?"   "W-Well, yeah, but... b-but...," Leo grew quiet, and then burst out crying; the weight of his guilt finally crashing down on him. "I don't want a football for a brother!! I d-didn't mean it when I said that!  I want Donnie for a brother-," Leo's hiccuping stopped abruptly, "-wait a sec, how did you know I said that to Donnie?" "Because he told me," Splinter replied cheekily and held Donnie out over the side of his armchair for his brothers to see.   "Donnie!!" Leo, Raph, and Mikey ran towards the soft-shell and tackled him out of Splinter's hands. They smothered Donnie in a great big heap on the floor; one could barely spot the soft-shell within the mess of arms as his brothers nuzzled him.  At first, Donnie was uncomfortable. The hug was suffocating and almost unbearable until he noticed how happy and relieved his brothers were to have found him: including Leo.   "I'm sorry, Donnie," apologized Leo, "I never meant any of it, honest!"  "And I'm sorry too," Donnie gritted out, "B-but maybe you guys could st-stop squeezing me? M-My oxygen levels..." He squeaked helplessly. Splinter smiled, satisfied with their touching reunion, "I hope you all learned a valuable lesson today."   "We sure did!" Raph beamed, "Donnie's the best at hide-and-seek!"  "What? No!" Splinter shook his head, "Well, maybe, but that's not it! Sometimes, when we're angry, we say things to each other that we do not mean. That is why it is super-duper important to always use our nice words towards each other!"   To the four turtle tots, their father spoke words of wisdom. Their eyes glistened in awe and respect.  "Now then!" Splinter's tender fatherly disposition suddenly turned agitated and firm, "Why were you boys playing Jupiter Jim and Sports Ball in the first place?! Didn't I tell you to clean your rooms before my shows started?!"  The turtle brothers yelped and scrambled out of the living room before Splinter could punish any of them.  "Quick, Donnie!" Raph cried out, "Tell us your secret ways of hide-and-seek!" He held Donnie high above his head, leading the gang to his bedroom. "Yeah!" Leo agreed, "Dad can't punish us if he can't find us!"  The turtle tots giggled and shrieked as they carried on their mischief elsewhere within the lair. Splinter shook his head. He reached for his tea and found that the last few sips had gone cold. Though that hardly mattered, for the laughter of his children warmed him all the same. 

[spongebob-connoisseur]

Idk how useful this information is to you but ive been thinking abt this for a few days and i need to tell it to a Spongebob Connoisseur(TM)

Ive been remaking some of my older dnd characters/characters i wasn't rly happy with that never really got used either, and one in particular i noticed while rewriting his backstory, he is like. Personality-wise, REALLY similar to squidward. And especially with his dynamic with basically the spongebob of his story, feels very much like sponge and squid's dynamic in some of the classic episodes like pizza delivery and such. Idk if this was just a natural progression of his character and where i wanted it to go or if i just particularly had spongebob on the mind, but thinking about that always makes me smile.

Also his backstory itself, id describe as like the hash slinging slasher episode (i KNOW its not called that but aghh i forgot what the episode is called 😔) but if the hash slinging slasher was real and actually attacked them, and through a series of mistakes and bad and good luck on everyone's part, sponge and squid accidentally became warlocks with the slasher as their patron

Thank you for telling me! :>

I'm absolutely sorry for the late reply! I know this ask is from months ago but I couldn't get around to answering. That and also tumblr is a terribly buggy mess. Sometimes posts go missing when you add a picture that's a little too high quality. It's frustrating and I'm deeply terribly sorry.

Anyways to reply, I think that's lovely! I don't know a thing about DnD. Every so often I hear about it and wonder if I should look into it. Honestly you've convinced me a bit.

Also might I say that I find it absolutely adorable how your characters have the Spongebob/Squidward dynamic? I know their relationship was kinda modeled after Mr. Wilson and Dennis the Menace as well as Laurel and Hardy. It's a classic combo that always works!

Honestly I can imagine your characters having rather sweet moments like pizza delivery. The grumpy one might sometimes get frustrated with thr SB-esque character but deep down really cares for them and doesn't want them to get hurt.

Also the episode is Graveyard Shift. But no worries I know what ya mean! I really like your idea. The hash slinging slasher event could actually make for a really good set up 👀 and you can build off so much more from it! Except sponge and squid somehow becoming warlocks and the slasher as their patron sounds absolutely wild. Honestly if this was a written story I'd love to read it. It's got all the interesting sort of twists and turns 👀

Honestly for some reason I can see your graveyard shift idea being a real episode in SB? We know a version of DnD happening in the SB universe and Spongebob being a huge nerd would probably play it. Perhaps with Squidward? And it can be them playing and using experiences in their life such as the hash slinging slasher event and incorporating it into the story! Also with their self inserts being the characters in their game! It would make for a good episode 👀 I can actually see it happening.

Honestly I'm so glad that you decided to share this with me! It was such a joy to read. And I really am truly sorry for such an insanely long wait for this reply. But I just want you to know this ask was greatly appreciated it and I really did enjoy reading and replying to it!💙 honestly you should keep me updated with how your DnD stories go 👀

fallout opinion incoming

i've never taken an econ course in my life. nor business, nor accounting, marketing, PR, advertising or anything. that being said, i have indeed been a consumer all my life. i know when i'm being patronised, talked down to, insulted, and outright robbed. i'm not stupid. no consumer is, generally.

i have not purchased Fallout 76. at this stage in the game, i probably never will, based on the horrible stories i'm hearing (that, and i don't have a computer capable of running it).

i am still a fan of Bethesda games, basically. overall. mostly. sure, there are bugs in all of them (show me a perfect game across all platforms from any company)--mostly nostalgia-making bugs, like a dragon flying backwards, or terrible ragdolling physics engines, or npcs getting caught in a loop of dialogue--'haha, so-and-so keeps repeating themselves, let's just load a previous save and be on our merry'--but Bethesda has repeatedly doubled down, over and over, on their self-proclaimed most-beloved franchise. for gods' sakes, their logo has a vault door. they love Fallout. Vault Boy is everywhere in their merch.

if they love Fallout so very much, WHY ARE THEY DOING IT SO DIRTY?! that is the one thing i do not understand. they fuck lore over, retcon shit that literally invalidates the plot of TWO of the original IPs, and deus ex Brotherhood machina and super mutants into a setting that has no place for either of those things. and that's just from a story-purity standpoint--which, admittedly, i can suspend my disbelief for entertainment's sake, but only for so long before i'm like 'hold the phone, this is bullshit.'

what gets me is how, with every title starting with 3, they roll out a product that is...not good. no one expects perfection, okay, but they know about these bugs and glitches and have outright said that they expect the modders to take care of them (so...fuck console players, i guess? thanks, Pete Hines, you twat). and the glitches get worse, until we get the steaming dumpster fire that is 76, complete with bait-and-switch lawbreaking in the collectible market. we get cardboard disks with codes printed on them. we get 'we're not planning on doing anything about this.'

Bethesda is deadass insulting us to our faces and expecting us to actually eat the cornflakes they have so happily pissed into...and then ask for more. they operate like Hollywood, sending out a shitty big-budget film and hoping it'll profit in the first weekend before the Rotten Tomatoes scores come in and everyone decides to wait for Netflix or VoD. this is NOT GOOD BUSINESS PRACTISE.

you can't make video games while looking down your noses at us, Todd and Pete. you cannot. we have long memories, gamers do, and you're trying to sell something to a demographic that has the least amount of disposable dosh in a century. you want us to buy? respect our wallets. don't look at us and only see sentient wallets--i know, i know, Capitalism and the Laws of Big Numbers and whatnot, but you are swinging your Bethesda dicks around like you're a drunk white frat boy at a party and wondering why no one's hopping on it.

you want our money? you want us to keep coming back? do yourselves a favour and get the people who originally created Fallout (and who gave us New Vegas, even as buggy as it was) to work on that IP. don't insult us anymore. CLEAN UP YOUR OWN MESS. if you want modders to fix your bugs, then pay them like you would your QA people before rollout. and no, i don't mean give us paid mods; that ship has sailed already.

we trusted you, when you purchased the original IP from Interplay. joke's on us, i guess, but now you're wondering why you're getting pelted with bad press? look in the mirror, look at how you have managed this shitstorm, and ask why an apology and 500 measly Atom in 76 is just gasoline on a fire.
