i think before joining or making a minecraft roleplay server every creator needs to either have played at least ONE campagin of a ttrpg of their choice (doesnt have to be dnd) or they must have spent their entire childhood roleplaying with people on any social media/forum/chat app their tiny hands could get a hold on. i want these minecraft roleplayers to have backgrounds in doing roleplay with actions written out *like this* in their friends text messages and getting into insane drama as teenagers in discord roleplay servers
Hi! All such great carraville drabbles so far! If you’re still doing them, may I request them coming out publicly and the various reactions of news broadcasters, other ex/current footballers and of course, the internet. Thanks!
aaa thank you!!! and yessss I love fics where it's public reaction to stuff and i LOVE multi-media type fics so this was fun to write (even though i am much too lazy to come up with fake twitter usernames)

The Daily Mail
LIVERPOOL AND MAN UTD LEGENDS JAMIE CARRAGHER AND GARY NEVILLE REVEAL GAY RELATIONSHIP?
Former rivals turned co-pundits posted Valentine’s day messages on their Instagram accounts which appear to show an intimate relationship between the two men, who were both married to women for over ten years. Neither has responded for comment.
Comments:
> they’re the worst pundits on sky anyway they don’t even try to hide the bias for their teams
> gary neville’s always trying to bring politics into everything rishi was right he should stick to football!
> well I will be getting my commentary from MOTD moving forward. wish I could cancel sky sports but can’t afford to miss all the match coverage so they will be getting a strongly worded letter from me instead.
The Guardian
OPINION: IT’S 2024. WHY HAS THE FOOTBALL WORLD NOT CAUGHT UP?
There are still no openly gay players in the top tier of the men’s game. Now that two retired premier league footballers have come out, we have to ask: why is this headline news?
Both Liverpool and Manchester United football clubs have posted messages in support of Neville & Carragher, and so have many current and former players. But it begs the question why they thought that support might not be implicit, or why the two pundits had to publicly “come out” at all.
Comments:
> tbh I didn’t even know who they were until I saw Beckham’s ig story 💀
> surprised Gerrard’s not said anything, thought he and Carragher were mates
>>> probably can’t if he wants to keep his manager contract $$$
> the guardian: why is the media making a fuss about two ex-footballers coming out? the guardian: is part of the media making a fuss about two ex-footballers coming out…

No one asked, but here are some observations I've made in my personal life.
*Note that this probably differs by age, gender, and culture (for instance, I have been told by several Americans that I use an insane amount of emojis, whereas it's not considered weird at all here in Germany).
FJ:
Generally very good at texting, will respond to absolutely every point you make. If you send them a long voice message, they can be found taking notes while listening so that they will not forget to answer any point you made.
Have a very hard time leaving someone on read and if they do, either something happened and they forgot, or they simply don't like you very much. If they open the message, they answer. If they don't have time to answer you right now, they simply will not open the message yet.
If the text conversation is done (i.e. you wrote something like "bye, see you tomorrow!" that does not require another response), they will still at the very least send you an emoji back for no reason other than letting you know that "Yes! I read your message! I'm not ignoring you! I love you!" (Literally every FJ I have ever known does this. Every single one, including myself.)
They will adapt to your style of texting. If you are the kind of person that likes to send a bunch of heart emojis to friends and the FJ friend is not, they will still pepper in a heart here and there. If you generally don't use emojis, they will use them only occasionally. If you reply in wallpaper long messages, so will they. If you break up your messages into several texts one after the other, so will they.
FPs:
Also generally quite good at texting and can actually appear a lot warmer in writing than in person (there have been several instances where I received really lovely messages from FPs who I used to think hated my guts whenever we met in person).
Prepare for emojis. Seriously.
You can have infinitely long text conversations with them. If you are willing to commit, the conversation between the two of you will never end. With NFPs, the conversations usually end up spiralling into nonsense scenarios, while SFPs keep telling you about their day and keep answering you about your day every day.
TPs:
(my texting experience with TPs is unfortunately very limited, so feel free to fill in my blanks)
Fe is very noticeable in the extroverts, i.e. they tend to go the FJ route described above, but in a more nonchalant and more relaxed way. Like with FJs, the focus of the conversation is on you and their dynamic with you.
The introverts (i.e. my dad, i.e. my only point of reference) are bad at texting and prefer to call, so almost all text conversations go something like this:
TP: "Hi, I tried to call you, but you didn't pick up. I hope everything is alright with you?" You: "Yes, sorry. Everything's good here, how about you, everything okay?" --- end of conversation ---
TJs:
Generally bad at texting. Also don't really like it and see no point in it, so they usually prefer calling or talking in person.
Will appear colder in writing than in person, especially the STJs. Their answers will be straight to the point. No beating around the bush and no needless extension of a conversation in form of jokes/questions/anecdotes for a bonding experience. If they want to tell you something, they will tell you in person.
Have absolutely zero problem leaving people on read and usually don't mean anything by it.
STJs rarely use emojis, NTJs do but not excessively
If their answer requires them to type anything more than two sentences, they will send you a voice message instead. (Literally every single TJ I know does this, except my INTJ brother who is a complete maniac and calls instead.)
i’m sooooooooo stressed about a message i just sent but i am glad i sent it bc if i hadn’t i would’ve spent the rest of however long thinking about sending it and i don’t like that at all but also my heart is literally pounding in my chest what if he hates me and doesn’t want to be friends anymore…………………

This entire game I thought Nicole was Isaac's wife, turns out she's his (ex?) girlfriend. Which should've been obvious to me since they have different last names. I just thought she kept her last name for work.
Early into playing Dead Space, I accidentally saw a spoiler online that said Elizabeth Cross was pretending to be Nicole. So I thought Elizabeth was part of the Hive Mind and making Isaac hallucinate Nicole to manipulate him into returning The Marker.
Turns out Isaac does hallucinate that Elizabeth is Nicole, but that's in the 2023 remake. Elizabeth was killed by Dr. Mercer in the original 2008 version (what I'm playing). In the remake, Isaac isn't the only person hallucinating that someone else is a different person. Elizabeth mistakes Isaac for Temple. This is because The Marker is making both of them hallucinate this.
In the original 2008 version The Marker is only making Isaac hallucinate that Nicole is there. When, in reality, Isaac is interacting with nothing. The Marker used Isaac's love for Nicole to manipulate him into returning The Marker to the planet. The Marker is sentient.
Nicole is already dead, she killed herself. Isaac was like Dr. Kyne, believing the love of his life was still alive and being pushed into returning The Marker.
I forgot to mention this last time, but The Marker is larger than I imagined it would be. Its design is also very beautiful.
I can see why someone would worship it:
I thought it was small because of what Nicole said: "It's strange...such a little thing."
However the second part to that message makes more sense: "In the end, it all comes down to just one little thing . . . I didn't want it to end like this. I really wanted to see you again...just once. I loved you. I've always loved you."
When The Marker was returned it started glowing. This flash caused the gravity tethers that are holding the large piece of the planet above to become disabled.
Kendra returns, reveals my wife was dead the whole time, that The Marker tricked me AND TAKES THE MARKER!!!! She was going to steal my shuttle with The Marker and abandon me AGAIN!!!
YESSS BEAT HER ASS!!!!!!!
This cutscene was SO SATISFYING!!!! Kendra earlier saying that this entire system can go to hell and being killed by essentially the manifestation of her poor decisions in the most graphic way *chef kiss*.
This boss fight reminded me of Majora's Mask.
From what I understand since Isaac wasn't able to properly return The Marker. It’s forcing a grieving Isaac to experience horrific hallucinations of Nicole because it's upset it wasn't returned.
I’m sorry I failed Dr. Kyne 😭💔
I didn't expect this game to end on a cliff hanger!! I'm so happy I already have the second game. I'll probably start playing that in a few weeks, but I'm not sure if I'll live-blog it.
Beating the game gives you bonus datalogs. I'm not going to summarize everything in them because they're extremely long.
However I will write what I found interesting:
The Markers are named based off their color. The one discovered on earth is called the Black Marker. While the one made by the government is called the Red Marker.
The government did assassinate Michael Atlman. He was holding conferences to inform the public about The Markers. After his murder the Church of Unitology was formed. It became a big social movement with many riots.
The Church of Unitology requires members to donate their bodies after death. These bodies are held in stasis storage tubes within deep-space vessels.
The Church of Unitology performs something called "soul cleansing" on its members.
Poul Clarke: Isaac's father a Galactic Union Marine Corporal who left Isaac when he was four years old for an extended off-world tour. His father's service record has been mysteriously classified by an executive order.
Isaac was inspired by his father and pursued engineering. He tried to re-unite with his father for years, but was unsuccessful.
Octavia Clarke: Meanwhile after his father left for work, Isaac's mother's mental health issues got worse. Doctors encouraged her to find fulfillment doing charity. That is where she was approached by the Church of Unitology and joined. She gives them all her money and has managed to purchase a Vested-level title.
I'm VERY curious if Isaac’s father and mother will impact future games or if this is simply fun lore.
Altman worked for the government: "Altman's hasty expulsion from the project is unfortunate."
The code we see throughout the game may have been written by Atlman: "What notes we have recovered appear to be written in a code of his devising.”
They moved the Red Marker to Aegis VII to keep it outside the reach of the oversight committees (unsure who they are).
Where the name Dead Space comes from: "As it turns out, the field generated by the Marker creates a "dead space" around itself that forces the recombination effect into dormancy."
🖤 i highly doubt you have anything for me, the “the masked singer” guy.
i wish.. we didnt start in a bad note. and well.. i would love to hang out with you! maybe tell me about stuff that goes on tv haha. that would be nice.
does anyone else see the preview of text message that gets you all excited to read it but you don’t open it right away in favour of keeping as a motivating treat for yourself to indulge in after you finished other things you should be doing or are you normal
I’m sorry if this has been answered at all before but do you take commissions? I adore your art
Thank you so much!! It means a lot that I can bring good vibes to people with what I create :o)
But sadly the answer is no.
I wish I could take commissions, and I used to in the past, but I found myself unable to draw for others without it making me miserable to do so.
I do technically take requests but it’s more of a gamble, I love people having ideas for things they wanna see me draw and my askbox is always open for those who wanna take a chance and see if it’ll be a hit or not-
But that’s the thing, you can never be sure if I WILL draw the thing or not as it completely depends on my mood that day and my attention span… plus it’ll most likely be just a small doodle too ú-ù
Again tho, I’m always happy to be given a chance to draw something someone wants to see so you’re always welcome to send requests/suggestions!! :o)
