#i'm that audio they used to use on vine with the 'what is going on inside their head

[lowkeyrobin]

MCYT with a reader who would literally get into a fist fight for them?? Literally, if someone even looks at them wrong reader will throw hands. It's literally that meme (Random person) "GET YO FUCKING DOG BITCH" (MCYT) "it don't bite" "YES IT FUCKIN DO-" I'm sorry I'm feeling silly 😔

OH MY FUCKING GOD I LOVE THIS PROMPT AND THE REFERENCE TO THIS MEME LMFAOOO OH MY LORD BSHWJRHEJJAJW ; very vine oriented so I apologize. you threw me into a loop referencing that

MCYT ; "anytime, anywhere, I'd beat a bitches ass for you"

includes ; tommyinnit, tubbo, ranboo, badlinu, nihachu, slimecicle, quackity, & foolish gamers

warnings ; language, talk of blood/injuries, physical fighting, vine cringe because I got very carried away and you can tell

masterlist

TOMMYINNIT

he was one of those kids in high school that made light offensive jokes but would never fight anyone over anything, he's not a violent person at all other than in his jokes

but God forbid some random person look at you two weird in public, you're on their ass

you're more offended that they were judging Tommy at all, you couldn't care that they were judging you

"sorry, do you have a problem?" You squint your eyes at the person, "me and my boyfriend are just trying to shop and you keep following us around and staring, like, can I help you?"

just a teenage Karen

yall do take it outside when the motherfucker follows you out and begins to record you

you beat this fuckers ass to a PULP

Tommy's just holding the few bags of stuff you'd purchased staring down, jaw on the fucking floor like "Oh my God wtf do I do"

he had the vlog camera on so he kinda got it all on video before he pulled you away from the person

yall sprinted the hell away bc the security guards were running towards yall 😭😭

#neveridentified

#the person admitted guilt anyways and said they were planning to hurt you so no point in trying to track yall down for self defense

#i barely know the law shush

TUBBO

he physically has to hold you back from fighting people

"y/n, it's fine. they just want a reaction"

"let me beat them up!"

the other person's like "yo wtf is wrong with you????"

"sorry, my partner acts like a hostile animal when people piss them off, sorry"

he appreciates you defending him though, he does like using you as a weapon because he thinks it's funny

I mean at least you guys don't have to worry about getting kidnapped or anything because you'll be there to kick the motherfuckers ass

"GET YO FUCKING DOG BITCH"

"Oh they don't bite, it's okay 🥰"

"YES THEY FUCKIN DO HELP"

RANBOO

they just kind of accepted that you were like this

"I do not endorse violence unless you are y/n. I can't make them un-violent. I have tried, they're a vicious guard dog now"

hurricane Katrina? more like hurricane tortilla when you enter the building

yk the free style dance teacher vine? that'll be ranboo out in public and someone will stare at them all weird and you'll glare back

"walk away, walk away" you mumble, watching the person hurrily walk away as they see you like glaring daggers into their skull

your dynamic is the one vine that's like "Oh can I have a sip of your water?" and "It's not water or vodka, it's vinegar" "bitch what"

then you'll go make angsty edge lord posts to the one bojack horseman audio "I'm not a violent dog" and insert a clip of you beating the shit out of someone in high school

FREDDIE BADLINU

you post the "look at all those chickens" vine on your Twitter everytime you see a hate comment made for one of you

you love instigating fights w people online it's the funniest fucking thing

if you don't know how to reply to some dumbass edgelord response you'll just spam the guacamole vine until they shut up

"wait, why does y/n have so many soaps?"

"MIND YOUR FUCKIN BUISNESS DAVID"

Freddie's response to your violence is usually the saxophone seal vine. he genuinely laughs everytime he sees you fighting w someone online

sometimes you'll stream it while you wait for a response and while you're fighting online trolls who've been brainwashed by Twitter

"You're gay?!?!?!?11??11"

insert the "ms keisha dead" vine and the battle is over idk what to say

fight fire with fire I guess

NIKI NIHACHU

she hates yet loves that you'd fight ppl for her

oh, someone treated her wrong? you'll be trending on Twitter for fighting the person

#y/u/n will literally be at number 1 for a week

people edit the fight too

she appreciates it though, even though she doesn't exactly like to promote violence, she'll accept it from you

"Oh, don't worry about them, they're just a little... nervous around people sometimes"

"nervous? girl that mf is SNARLING at me"

you'll see a post that's like "me when someone tries to start shit w my s/o" and reply with the "hahaha I do that" vine

when I tell you she CACKLES reading online fights with people 😭🙏

CHARLIE SLIMECICLE

"get the F off my yard!" proceeds to have to drag you away from situations where someone's actin a little funny in a /neg way

he genuinely thinks you fighting people for him is funny

he'll tell the stories on stream and to his friends like "dude they fucked this guy up, I honestly feel bad for laughing"

honestly most the time it's people victimizing themselves

like that one meme where the lady very obviously and fakely falls over that bench on LIVE TELEVISION.

he's your biggest supporter

he's the old guy from that one vine of the kid singing "Oh wait a minute mister postman" and he does the whole ass high note

"here's y/n fighting someone for idk what because they're talking to the police 😋"

you're a problem at this point

QUACKITY

you've physically fought so many wild racists for him it's crazy

he'll gladly cheer you on

"AHHHH COME GET YO DOG BRO HELP"

"Oh it don't bite"

online fights are usually responded w the purple teletubby twerking meme

"L don't be a weak ass racist pussy next time"

17-3 don't worry... ehehehrhahahha

when he tells you that you need to stop instigating fights you send him the "They ask you how you are but you just have to say that you're fine when you're not really fine" meme BAHDNHAHA

FOOLISH GAMERS

"YOU KNOW WHAT DUDE? IM OUTTA HERE" vine in a nutshell with you two. I can't explain this but it makes sense I swear

"whatd you do to your eyebrows?" meme except its "Whyd you fight that person!?" "I don't really know!"

Twitter fights are like "and they were roommates!" "ohmygodtheywereroomates" I swear to fucking god

you love instigating shit with Twitter trolls

when you stand up for him/reply to edgelord haters for him he replies with the "country boy I love youuuuuuu" vine

"GIVE ME YOUR FUCKIN MONEY!" vine with the law and order intro is literallt how physical fights go

let's just say some stalker edgelords tracked you guys down at the streamer awards...

HE AND PUNZ GENUINLEY CHEER YOU ON

here you go trending on Twitter again

[foone]

My one bit of advice I think every gamer should hear:

GO PLAY OUTER WILDS.

Seriously. It is easily one of my top 5 games of all time, and that's mainly because I'm being cagey about if it's the #1, because it probably is.

It's a game where you're a little alien who is taking their first flight into space, in their little spaceship. You go to space and find a mystery, and have to figure it out.

It's a game entirely about learning things about the world you're in: it's a tiny solar system modeled amazingly well, with varied planetary environments, archaeology, and quantum fun.

It's a game that's hard to talk about without spoiling, because it's about solving the mysteries. There used to be some other aliens here, they're long gone. What happened to them? Their whole society was built around trying to find something: what was it? Did they find it? And there's a weird disastrous event that keeps happening, why? Can you stop it? Should you stop it? Is it connected to the other weird things that keep happening? What happened to that ice planet that exploded with vines? One of the astronauts who came before you was the best pilot who ever lived, but they vanished. What happened to them? And why can you sometimes hear their harmonica over the radio when you point it at your own planet?

The game is wonderful and non-linear and the most unique approach to a Metroidvania I've seen years: it's basically "what if we did the Metroidvania idea but with no items or power ups? What if the thing that you got to unlock new areas WAS INSIDE THE PLAYER'S HEAD?"

Because you don't unlock the next area by picking up the high-jump boots, you unlock it by learning something new. Now you can do something you didn't realize you could before, but now you know you can.

And that's only one of the amazing concepts they stuffed in this game. The itemless Metroidvania, the tiny simulated solar system, the quantum mechanics... Each of these alone could be enough to carry an indie game. They stuffed them all in one game combined with a great story, and that's in a gamewith relatively little dialogue!

There's like a dozen people to talk to, but you spent a lot of time reading conversations left by the long-gone aliens. You get to know them, what they were working for, how they interacted, and what happened to them, thousands of years later. It's less the bioshock style audio-logs, and more like going over bits of ancient writing, making connections and correlations from the fragments you can find.

And don't get me wrong, this might sound like this game is going to be dry and boring: it is so very not. It is a game about mysteries in the void of space, the death of a civilization, and the potentially world-ending dangers that face a living one, and even bigger concepts. It could so easily be a cosmic horror, about the cold death of space and the universe itself, and the nihilism of realizing that even a race that could cross the gap between the stars and bend spacetime to their will... They too died out. If they couldn't make it, what hope do you have, in your little spaceship that's primarily made of WOOD?

And yet... The game is always engaging. It has a few scares, and space is never a safe place to be, but it maintains a sense of humor and wonder. Yes, the universe can be scary, but it's also amazing. And you're just a little salamander-guy who wants to see it all, and figure out all the things. Maybe you don't know something yet, but tomorrow is a new day, and you can go blasting off to another planet, find some writing in a city suspended upside down over a black hole, try to fly into the core of a water planet, dodge giant anglerfish inside the warped space of an exploded planet, and try to explore an ancient city that's slowly filling with sand. It is a game about Things Ending, and it refuses to give into despair. It is one of the most relentlessly optimistic games I have ever played.

And the experience of playing it is so unique. This isn't a game where you could watch a letsplay and only get spoiled on some plot points, it's a game where the fundamental gameplay loop is about learning things. You should try it for yourself. It's got hints and many different avenues to explore (and it even keeps track of them for you, in case you forget!), so you don't have to worry much about getting stuck for too long. You can always put aside a "puzzle" and come back later, after you've learned more. (I put puzzle in quotes because it's not exactly a puzzle game. It's more of a mystery game. You aren't solving a logic puzzle or putting the pegs into the right holes, you're asking "Why is this like this? Where does this go? What is this for?" and then figuring that out from clues)

It's like 25$ on steam, and you can get it for Playstation and Xboxes as well (sadly no Switch version. They were working on one but it seems that version has stalled, with no announced release date)

You can probably get it for like 10$ if you're patient and wait for a sale.

One final note: there's also a DLC. The DLC is fully self-contained, in that you won't miss anything playing the main game without it. It basically adds a huge side-area to the game which goes and fills in some gaps in the history, explains some things, and introduces some more variety to the Outer Wilds universe.

It's utterly amazing, too. It's basically Outer Wilds 2 in everything but name, but it's totally fine to just grab the base game and play that. You can always come back and grab the DLC later if you want more Outer Wilds.

Seriously. To sum up, Outer Wilds is one of the greatest games ever made, it won a ton of awards, and it should have won more. They should invent more gaming awards just to give to Outer Wilds. This is one of the games that is going to be talked about in future "history of gaming" classes and put on lists of the 50 most groundbreaking and influential games, alongside things like Myst and King's Quest and Zork and Mass Effect. It's just that good, that groundbreaking.

[theneighborhoodwatch]

The neighborhood map changed again! I'm not sure if the black thing (to borrow a Madeline L'Engle term) under Home has grown anymore. Some things I notice are Poppy's house's windows shut, Barnaby's pawprints, vines growing on the roof of Frank's house, and lots of sidewalk chalk doodles presumably from Julie (and maybe Wally drew Frank's face?).

I've noticed subtle changes to the neighborhood in previous updates too, but with more continuing to happen, as well as content we've gotten this Halloween update, I have a feeling these neighborhood changes are more... current than we might have previously thought.

This is a bit of a long shot, but I think everyone in Welcome Home is active, at least somewhat. Some characters are more aware than others. Maybe they're "waking up"; we've had two puppets, Wally through his doodles and Sally through the Halloween record, speak directly to us now.

In the secret bug audio, found on the transcript page for the Halloween record, the puppets mention that the spooky storytelling went well, as if it's a direct follow-up to the Halloween record. It's a discrepancy, sure, but perhaps not an unfounded one. Maybe the neighborhood's stuck in some sort of limbo between the present and the past, and only now, with the WHRP, Q/A, and us discovering it, is it literally reviving in front of our eyes.

correct me if i'm wrong, but uh - weren't all of those map details present from before the halloween update? i'm looking at these screenshots and my older captures of the map to compare, but i can't find any differences. i'm pretty sure the map's the same, aside from julie and frank's character cards changing to make it more explicit that they were intended as a couple in-universe (haha, knowing what we know, that's not worrying at all. /s)

anyways, to get to the Meat of this ask: i don't sally was speaking to us in the storybook record, just the neighbors As A Group, but i definitely think this update makes it a Lot more likely that home (the town) kind of exists, like, Outside of linear time? that it isn't so much that there's a divide between the stuff that was produced Then and what we see in the present day so much as it is that the stuff that the WHRP is uncovering is like, a window into what's going on in home Right Now, whether they realize it or not (and something may be actively blocking them from realizing??? not sure if it's that or if it's simply willful ignorance; i suppose we'll see.)

i'm reminded of a couple posts i made a little while ago, about the possibility that welcome home as a proper show never Actually existed, and the stuff that the WHRP's digging up is welcome home's attempts to will itself into reality anyway, for lack of a better description. but it also suffers from being tethered to a single person/group of people's Vision of it instead of being allowed to be an ever-evolving thing, or only being allowed to evolve in a Specific way. i dunno. i just kept thinking about that the entire time i was reading through this update.

anyways i'm also thinking about the way wally's eye-eating ability was represented in that post-storybook tape. i kind of like that it seems to be almost Overwhelming for him, like he hasn't gotten much of an opportunity to try it out before (if he's gotten any opportunity) and is like "oh. Oh. Oh. I Get It Now. holy shit." i don't have much to add onto that and that's just how i see it as of the time of this writing, but i would feel foolish if i didn't make note of it for later.

Todays rip: 06/09/2023

Sex - Steve Harvey

Season 4 Episode 1 No Album Release (Read More) Sex - Steve Harvey

Ripped by Nozobot

Yknow, I wonder sometimes about the impression people get of the SiIvaGunner channel from reading this blog. I've noticed that some posts have gained minor traction outside of SiIva's core audience on here, such as Four Ardain ~ Roaming the Route~, due to it just being a damn solid arrangement.

In a way, this blog is cherry picking the channel's greatest moments and personal favorites, that gives off a skewed impression of what the channel can truly offer. And though I've dabbled in some unserious rips in the past, today we're going all-in: Sex - Steve Harvey is perhaps the most deranged, most incomprehensible, and most hysterical thing the channel has yet to upload.

In the first four Seasons of the channel, channel creator Chaze the Chat would sometimes release Vlog-like videos wherin he'd declare his intentions and direction for the channel going forward. And though things certainly ended up different due to the sheer scope of the King for Another Day tournament, Chaze's vision for Season 4 Episode 1 was still clearly established at the beginning of 2019: bring back the surprise, chaos and insanity of Season 1 in full force. Seasons 2 and 3 had of course not shied away from unhinged content - a certain purple eggplant was effectively chaos incarnate - but it still felt as if it was being deprioritized over maintaining quality and gradually progressing the lore. With the sudden positive reception to Season 3's King for a Day tournament, it was as if a message had been sent to the SiIva team: The lore can wait, so long as the team is passionate about whatever they make instead.

As the premiere of King for Another Day drew closer, "Not Funny Didn't Laugh Day" was the climax to all of this build-up: A day that was, effectively, chaos incarnate.

Sex - Steve Harvey, in a way, shows just how far any of us are to understanding just what the hell the SiIva team are capable and willing to do. Its arguable that the randomness and surprise that defined Season 1 doesn't quite exist anymore, because we as the audience have "solved" the joke - we KNOW that random takeovers will occur, we know that melodyswaps will happen, we know rips can now occasionally have mashups. But rips made during Not Funny Didn't Laugh Day - and especially Sex - Steve Harvey - felt like taking the next step beyond what Season 1 was doing, and in turn is complete jibberish in YouTube video form. There are dozens of people in the comments still trying to discern what the video means - its original joke is of course parodying Steve Harveys overreactions to lewd answers on Family Feud, but it goes through so many bizarre, nonsensical phases, most of which have no actual connection to one another. Really, the only consistent throughline is the audio quality being consistently compressed into oblivion.

And, yknow, its very possible that I am overthinking this rip, and that it really is just a collection of nonsense. But I swear it should not be able to be as funny as it is if that were the case. Sex - Steve Harvey haunts me like an apparition, I keep coming back to it just to find new things in its concoction of chaos that I might've missed. And "Not Funny Didn't Laugh Day" was FULL of rips similar to this - the entire event is a golden throwback to absurdist comedy's recent history, with platforms like Vine and the edgier period of YouTube developing so many strange ways to gather laughs out of people.

I'm eternally grateful that SiIva will keep finding ways to surprise me, even with dumb bullshit like this.

[spanishskulduggery]

Does this type of "a" have a name? And, is it a memorizing thing or is there a way tell when to use it?

- Estoy aprendiendo a nadar porque quiero nadar en la playa de Lima.

- A veces te ayudo a estudiar español

- Los chicos quieren salir a bailar.

- Ella me enseña a manejar el carro.

- En México empezamos a cenar a las siete. ¿A qué hora quieres cenar?

For the most part, these are prepositional verbs, or verbs followed by a preposition

This link does a pretty good job outlining most of the major examples of verbs that require prepositions: Spanish Verbs with Prepositions - Lawless Spanish Grammar

-

Now for the grammar behind it...

Some verbs simply take prepositions - normally they're a, de, en, con, and sometimes por or para but less commonly those last two

This is different from the regular uses of prepositions like "to", "of/from", "in/at/on", and "with" in that they're required for some verbs and don't always translate the same if you exclude them

Some quick common examples:

ayudar a (hacer algo) = to help to (do something)

aprender a (hacer algo) = to learn to (do something)

acordarse de (algo/alguien) = to remember (something/someone)

enamorarse de (alguien) = to fall in love with (someone)

pensar en (algo/alguien) = to think of (something/someone)

convertirse en (algo/alguien) = to turn into (something/someone)

contar con (algo/alguien) = to rely on or to trust in (something/someone)

soñar con (algo/alguien) = to dream of/about (something/someone)

And:

ir + a + infinitive = "going to do (something)"

volver a (hacer algo) = to (do something) again

Which are a bit uniquely weird; especially volver which is "to return", so it's sometimes translated as "again" instead of a conjugation... like volver a decir algo is "to say something again"

-

There's been a meme audio clip going around in Spanish social media recently that's from a telenovela that goes: a lo que yo vine... ¡fue a esto! followed by a slap

Literally it means "what I came here for... was (to do) this!" or "what I came here to do... was this!"

But venir (a hacer algo) is "to come (for the purpose of)"... often seen in something like ¿a qué ha venido? "what is he/she here for?" in that sort of context

-

Your particular examples are a + infinitive for the most part:

ayudar a + infinitive = to help to

aprender a + infinitive = to learn to

enseñar a + infinitive = to teach to / to show how to

empezar a + infinitive = to start to comenzar a + infinitive = to begin to

It's important to note that these don't usually show up with a unless there's an infinitive... vamos a aprender "we're going to learn"... then vamos a aprender a nadar "we're going to learn to swim"

Or empiezo a leer "I start to read" vs. empiezo "I start" by itself which requires no a

The one that stands out as a bit different is salir a... in general salir is "to go out" or "to exit", so salir a hacer algo feels more like "to go out (to do something)" which is maybe more directional in my mind. Here the a feels like it indicates "to/towards" but maybe I'm splitting hairs. Basically a salir doesn't often carry a unless you're physically going out to do something

Please also note: The preposition a has many uses grammatically and this is just one use. You may also see it as "the personal a" which is when your object is a person/animate object and the a shows personhood or "life"... like ayudar a la gente "to help people", or dar de comer al perro "to feed the dog" [lit. "to give of food to the dog"]; typically the a shows up with direct objects for people/animate objects, or it shows the recipient of indirect objects like mandar una carta (a alguien) is "to send a letter (to someone)"

Restless legs syndrome is prbably my least favorite knee sensation. Heres some childhood stuff that also makes my cpu overclock (reddit rant#2)

r/chronohaul

Man i wish i coud just do an audio message on here but im not doxxing myself im a [probably] autistic highschool girl who gets mass downvoted every few weeks. Anyway ive been thinking 🤔 I've been thinking 😁 idk how the Yakuza works and idc to learn cause thats a little too #real yanno so if I'm off the mark here i dont give a dam. But theres two ways the whole school thing can go: they go to whatever school together and probably don't speak to anyone other than each other (kai out of disgust, sickness etc, hari out of "ok that's what kais doing and i dont really have the desire to do anything else so I'll just follow him around [thats actually a pretty succinct chronostasis character analysis in general]"). i imagine kai would struggle with germs and stuff and hari would stand guard casually outside of broom closets and bathroom stalls while he had breakdowns in there (lost kitten by metric moments! listen to it now When you come undone i cover you uuuuppp) and then kai would just come back out not really looking any better and say Okay lets go.

And the other angle is the two of them confined to the hideout, the youngest in the building so having next to no one to ask for help with questions from the textbooks tht were requested to be procured by pops . This one Low Key makes me insane cause it completely recontextualizes them. Like wdym you two literally only had each other through your entire childhood and now you just say shit like "sorry 4 the wait i was trying to keep our trail clear" "thanks" likw HUH HUH

even the idea of them going to school together does that to me cause i doubt they ever talked to anyone but each other so. A little more socially adapted but still very isolated situation.

This would create The most insane codependency youve ever seen. Literally only having one other person your age who completely understands your living situation would drive you insane. The more i think about them the less likely i feel like it is to ever do deep character analyses on either of them without coming to the conclusion that they Cannot survive without each other. And that's gay as hell.

One more thing. Is the idea that they knew what their roles as adults were going to be. At a certain age they would cease to be friends and become boss and employee. And. They knew thjs the whole time. Allll the training chrono did tk become a marksman was done with the knowledge in mind that he was going to directly serve kai. How do u liveeee with ur best friend knowing ur gonna be directly subordinate to him indefinitely.&."!&!&!"!*!_!&! What did this knowledge do to their baby psyches. (It made them more codependent).

So non e of this stuff about them growing up in the organization together is evr confirmed but like ... if chrono was friends w kai as a child and then joined the shie hassaikai later in life i kinda doubt he would have as much admiration fkr what kai does for ut bc chrono does show a devotion for the SH. Hes like This is 4 the gang!!! And gets stabbed its like that vine with the guy shooting a basketball and saying This one is to end racism and then missing the shot. So to me this is my canon just cause it makes sense. And if it came out that chronos joining the sh was a "quit yr job" "why" "join my emo band" scenario well I'm gonna be really upset

Anyway just to be clear the potential autism isnt the reason i talk weird i just think its funny and Freeing to use weird diction and go off on tangents. The potential autism is definitely the reason i spend half an hour writing these things though. Love you all (no one is reading this) 💖

MIKE'S MONOLOGUE BREAKDOWN

i went ranting about this on twitter a while ago but i thought might as well put it here. as i said before, this is a compilation of my own thoughts and also theories i’ve seen on the internet. let's start with the first section of mike's monologue

he doesn't know what to do at first, he's scared and he's trying to comfort el by saying he's right by her side, this might be me analyzing too much but i noticed the frame where the vines start to tighten more is when el hears mike speaking for the first time. el scans the environment searching for mike, but she doesn't see him, this also could be a symbolism of mike only being able to express his feelings whenever she's not looking (kissing her at the airport while wearing glasses, saying he loves her in s3 when she's not in the room and immediately regretting it after, him wearing vision obstructing glasses when they're sitting together in the “the piggyback” episode).

he doesn't know what to do, nor what to say, even though we saw in previous episodes what was the thing she wanted to hear from mike, even at that he doesn't say it on his own. not until will reminds him "he's the heart" that he has to keep going. i can notice even a bit after that he's still doubtful of what to say, and then he reassures her again making her know he's there with her, after that we can hear an audio cue indicating that the vines are still tightening around her neck. she doesn't really feel mike is with her, or at least, they're not on the same page anymore.

"and…" he looks to the side, the left side, to be specific. this tends to be a common thing when people don't know what to say, are thinking about what to say, are doubtful of their own words, and in some cases is a way to show the person is lying.

when mike finally says "i love you" you can see pain in her expression, the vines tighten again, and then you can hear and see thunder and lighting, as you might already know this is a common resource in tv media and films to indicate that the person who's talking is lying, and remember everything is on purpose and everything's there for a reason. as i could also observe while rewatching the show, we can see the same method being used in s2ep5 when joyce lies to bob about will's condition, will is possesed by the mindflayer and she tells him he's fine. el doesn't believe mike, or at least she didn't want to hear mike finally say those words when she's on the verge of dying, it doesn't feel genuine, it's like he's being forced to say them because he knows she might die and thinks that's what she wanted to hear at a moment like this. "i'm sorry i don't say it more" okay, then he knows el was right when they fought? this confuses me because then why did he get upset at her when she said "you never say it" replying to her "i say it". did he had a moment of realization throughout the episodes? or did he get mad at her and was defensive because he maybe didn't want to accept he doesn't love her anymore, at least not in the way he's supposed to love her.

"it's not because im scared of you. im not. i never felt that way" we can see some instances when mike shows clear fear about el's actions, for example at rink o mania when el hits angela, we can see his expression followed by an audio cue that indicates clear fear, and again in s1 when she pushes lucas with her powers, mike clearly scared and angry, saying to her "what's wrong with you?". then again we can see the thunder on el's side and the audio cue AGAIN of the vines tightening. she knows he's lying, she knows he's scared of her and she knows mike also lied during their argument when he said "i was surprised [...] i just didn't know what to do"

"but i am scared that one day you realize you don't need me anymore" we know how mike struggles with the feeling of being needed for those who he cares for, he even says to will in the previous episode that he's scared of el realizing she doesn't really need him. mike just wants someone to need him, he strongly needs someone who he can protect. but doing this, he forgets that el is her own person and can make her own decisions (throwback to max in s3, who was the one to teach el that). when mike and el met eachother, she needed guidance, protection, and mike saw in her that need and chose to protect her.

"and i thought that if i said how i felt it would somehow make that day hurt more" when he says those words we get a close up of will looking at him with a devastated look in his eyes, the directors wanted us to see his reaction for a specific reason. mike is using the same words he told him in the van and transforming them into a non genuine love confession. or maybe it can also be interpreted as will realizing mike and el's relationship isn't as happy as he thought it was, remember will being our unreliable narrator. he always showed us from his point of view that mike and el were a loving couple, maybe that sentence was the one who made him realize mike wasn't actually showing her how he really feels, because again, will didn't know that. it might be a stretch but i think it's worth looking at it from both perspectives.

"but the truth is, i don't know how to live without you" we were shown in s2 he was definitely able to live without her. yes, he used to tried and contact her before the whole thing with will happened, but in my personal opinion i think that was only because he cared for her as a friend and felt guilty that she was the one who sacrificed herself for their safety, nothing more. they almost didn't know eachother at that point and didn't have any kind of development whatsoever. we can see that on the first episodes but then he kinda just, forgets el even exists until she appears again at the end of the season.

"i feel like my life started that day i we found you on the woods" something that might be a stretch but i'll point it out anyways, the fact he says 'we found you'. if this was a genuine and intimate love confession why saying "we" instead of something like "the day i saw you" or "the day i found you", again, this is surely a stretch but there it is. mike's first impression of her was that she was a crazy person and he even wanted to send her to a mental facility not even two days after meeting her. he was definitely lying because it was not love at first sight. will had disappeared the day before that and that was mike's first priority, not even to point out he said that with will being right beside him, but then again, he might not have realized because again, he was telling el what he thought she wanted to hear. also, mike mentioned to will in the van scene that finding her wasn't fate nor destiny, it was just "simple dumb luck", so the contradiction in his choice of words give a lot to talk to about.

"you were wearing that yellow benny's burger tshirt and it was so big it swallowed you whole" the first smile we see in el's face was after recalling a silly memory, but the vines are still tightening around her neck because it wasn't actually a good memory, she had just escaped the facility that trapped her her whole life and i personally think that was the last thing she wanted to remember at that moment, especially after knowing the truth of what really happened. but then again, mike didn't know this so i don't personally blame him.

"and i knew right then and there that i loved you" again with the bull, i already mentioned this, but mike at first thought she was a crazy person, and we know for a fact that the writers of the show don't believe in love at first sight, as they stated it on a tweet in 2019, meaning that it couldn't be on purpose, they actually don't believe in love at first sight and the fact that they even used that trope as a part of a supposed love confession for one of their main pairs definitely means something. we also know that the only reason mike let her stay with them in the first place was because she recognized will in a photo and knew how to find him.

"i love with your powers, i love you without your powers. i love you for exactly who you are" throughout the seasons we only see mike referring as her qualities being a "superhero", "superman" (very curious choice of words since wonder woman existed in that time). there too few if not none scenes of him saying something that involves her actual qualities as a person outside of her "being a superhero" or "she saved the world twice". we can also see that el is crying, i personally think she was hoping that mike would say something different to her, she always thought that mike did love her for who she is, but she realized it wasn't true.

"you can do anything, you can fly, you can move mountains, i believe that" this is just straight up idolization. we never even see el do those kinds of things in the show. if you love someone for who they are you would have something more to say about them than only enlisting things around their powers. like, come on, they had cute scenes together, the snow ball scene being the first one on the list. why not mentioning their memories together? the whole reason mike and el fought in the first place was because she thinks of herself as a monster that doesn't belong, she realized that the monster was brenner all along, but she doesn't want to be seen as a superhero, and in that fight they had it was clearly seen that she wanted someone to see her as more than just that. this is definitely not what el wanted to hear at all, and you can see that on her face, she's tired of being referred as a superhero. she's being choked yeah, but she's also paying attention to everything mike says, pointing it out again that the vines are still tightening around her neck.

mike then says that she has to fight, vines tightening once again and again the thunder in the background, this is when mike's voice begins to fade a bit. it's only when she looks at max that the vines stop. necessary to point out, even though everyone knows, that max was the first one to actually see el for what she is, a person. she encouraged el to learn how to be herself and showed her that she can make her own decisions and choose her own future. we can also see how the vines start to tighten once more when she hears mike speak again, again thunder, which can mean she's purposely trying to silence mike and focus on max. she can then finally break free, it was max the one who freed her, not mike's words.

in conclusion, mike’s words did not help el at all, in fact it might have made things even worse. the last words he says to her didn’t reach her at all because she purposefully silenced him, it was the memories with max that helped her defeat vecna. mike definitely loves el, i’m not even doubting that, i just don’t believe the kind of love he feels is romantic by any chance.

I know it's a remake of an old GBA game, and many Donkey Kong fans are not happy about this because they don't like Mario being tied to Donkey Kong, I get it. But i'm genuinely looking forward to this. I never got to play the original. I kind of find the GBA to be tough to enjoy. Crunchy bad audio. Washed out colors on early games, faux 3D games such as this and the DKC ports look bad to me, Imo, the more GBA remakes the better ( Sonic Advanced trilogy fucking WHEN?? )

I notice a lot of DK fans are dejected and depressed today, the 10 year anniversary of Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze. I completely understand, it sucks when your favorite franchise goes dormant for so long. Especially when the "Revival" is still lacking a lot of things you loved from it's glory days. ( Kremlings, other Kongs, Animal Buddies, please come back. ), and any projects with Donkey Kong in them lately usually involve Mario... and as much as I don't like it, but kind of understand it, Donkey Kong fans are kind of touchy when it comes to Mario, Nintendo's golden child that will always have games in the works, who shares origins with DK, and there's always fighting about who is a spinoff of who ( the answer is neither but one is clearly more successful and central than the other regardless of personal feelings )

Despite how bad it may seem I will continue to remain optimistic.

I trust what DK vine is saying about a game being developed in house at Nintendo. I am a little nervous about that, because I don't feel like Nintendo themselves understand Donkey Kong fully, and have stupid misguided policies about character usage, but i'm hoping those are on their way out the door, and they realize that people really do love Rare's contributions to the series enough to bring them back...

But more than that, you can't look at all the little signs and not see that there's something going on with Donkey Kong that isn't going to stop at a remake of an old Mario and Donkey Kong crossover.

A Lego DK set with older Kong characters, DK being a central focus of the Mario movie, The Donkey Kong theme park opening at Universal Japan with lots of merchandise and depictions of Dixie, Crankie, Squawks, and an overhaul of Rambi ( and even Ellie the Elephant appearing in concept art ), the Donkey Kong webpage no longer leading back to the Tropical Freeze listing and now taking you to a general Donkey Kong page on My Nintendo Rewards, Diddy and Funky in Mario Kart 8, and the one that seems the most significant to me is that Donkey Kong merchandise has stopped using the "Super Mario" branding, and now uses the actual Donkey Kong logo. They would not be doing all this if Mario Vs Donkey Kong was all they had in the pipeline. They just wouldn't. Something is coming. And I think it's going to be a little bit bigger than what Retro Studios has done with the series so far.

Even if it doesn't, I'm not going to let that get me down, I'm a Nintendo fan, half the franchises I love are dormant. It's only a matter of time until something gets revived.

"wow if it isn't the famous Steve 'the hair' Harrington." I heard a voice, i turned around, "y/n! Where have you been?" I asked, "At home, anyway, never thought I'd see the day you'd get a job again." She said, "well as you can see, i did get a job, did you?" I asked, "well no-" "hah then why are you mocking me?" I said, "i was gonna say i just quit since some shithead thought it would be funny to dump ice cold water with leftovers over my head, plus i was sick and tired of other customers bullshit." She shrugged, "oh well I'm sorry to hear that, how about you hang around here for a while and after my shift i take you out to dinner yeah, as in 'my friend just got fired' type of way not a date." I said scrambling over my words, "yeah sure Harrington, by the looks of it you seemed to have lost your ways of pulling bitches." She said, "hey i can pull bitches!" I yelled, gaining attention to the customers in the store, "sorry." I quickly apologized, "anyway imma go annoy little brats outside with my powers." Y/n whispered, "see ya later Harrington!" She yelled as she left the store, 'god this girl's driving me crazy'

---

"Okay so what's the plan on killing Vecna?" Y/n asked leaning over the table, Dusting hopped around on one leg and started to explain what y/n and El were gonna do with their powers or whatever and where everyone was gonna strike, "wait so in gonna me the bait?" Y/n asked pointing to herself, "yes since you're agile and fast, the vine things and demagorgon's won't be able to catch you." Dustin said, "fine I'll be the bate, but if i make it out of this alive you owe me a huge favor." She said pointing towards Dustin and walking outside, probably to practice her powers or something

---

"here Harrington!" I heard a yell from behind of the store, i quickly rushed back, "ready for the free diner m'lady." I said extending my hand towards her sitting form, "of course sir shimmer pants." She said grabbing my hand and pulling herself off the floor, "aw c'mon i wore those pant ONE time!" I whined, "yup and i remember like it was yesterday." She said, "the way everyone gasped as you walked in the party with those awful pant, everyone started laughing seconds after and i had to run outside to comfort you." I said, "whatever Mrs glitter head." I mumbled, "what was that?" Se asked, "nothing let's just go before i change my mind and get you to pay everything." I said with a sly smirk, she grabbed my wrist as butterfly's erupted in my stomach, "nope mama can't lose that free dinner!" She yelled running towards my car as i laughed being dragged by her

---

I walked outside to check on y/n and i saw her sitting against a tree with her knees to her chest, "hey what's wrong?" I asked sitting down next to her, "what if it goes wrong?" She asked her head still in her hands but i knew she had been crying just by hearing her voice, "if what goes wrong." I asked tilting my head to get a better look at her, "the plan, what if one of us gets badly injured, or even worse... dies i can't bare another death Steve i just can't I've seen so many deaths, even if they didn't happen in front of my eyes i was still broke by them." She said sobbing as i patted her back to comfort her, "look on the bright side, if it does work i promise i will take you out to dinner, i-in a friend way of course." I said, she laughed slightly at my remark, "sure Harrington, sure." She said, "now I'm gonna wipe my tear's and fix myself, you go inside and do whatever you have to do in there." She said as she finally lifter her head from her lap and started to rub her eyes, "okay but if i don't see you inside in ten minutes I'm coming back out to get you." I said, "okay mooooommmmm." She teased, i rolled my eyes and just went inside

---

"the dinner was nice Harrington, didn't think you'd know a good place." Y/n said as she got in the passenger seat in my car, i turned it on and started to drive off, "well I've taken many women here before." I said as i smirked looking at her and then back at the road, "how many like two? Your mom and your sister." I said, "haha very funny." I said sarcastically, "anyway wanna hang out tomorrow?" She asked, "after my shift." I said, "yes after your shift of course." She said, "okay where are we gonna go?" I asked, "I'm gonna take you tooooo... I don't know actually, maybe to the arcade." She said, "sounds cool, I'll pick you up after my shift, or you could just wait for me behind the store again." I said, "sound like a plan." She said right as i parked my car, "well se ya later sir shimmer pants, oh and try not to get a speeding ticket." She said and she slammed my car door shut, i laughed lightly and started to drive back to my house

---

"Okay the portal is just at this corner, while Erica and i will be here dictating where you should go, remember four and El are up front." Dustin said, "okay dusty, see ya on the other side." Y/n said as she didn't hesitate and walked towards the portal, we all quickly followed all thirteen of us, Me, Nancy, Robin, Jonathan, Argyle, El, Max, Lucas, Will, Hopper, Joyce, Murray and that new Russian guy, i think his name was Enzo, "Guys, can you hear us." Erica said, we all heard her through our ear peace, we all said yes and Dustin did a victory screech

---

We were walking towards the arcade to see the gang inside, there was Max, Mike, Lucas, El, Dustin and Wil. Lucas, Dustin and Max, were fighting for the game, and Mike, Wil and El were talking, we walked inside and y/n's eyes landed on one game f/t/p/a/g, "bet i can beat you at this." She said running towards the game, "hey wait up;" i yelled running towards her as she started playing the game

---

"i think i see em." Y/n said looking from the corner, "how does it look like?" Dustin asked through he head peace, "it has lots of slimy vines round it, it's glowing red and has a figure inside." She said, "yup that's it, Vecna's inside! Is he floating?" Dustin asked, "yup." Y/n answered, "okay so you're good to attack, remember the plan four!" Erica said, "got it chief." Y/n said and did a small salute, even though she knew Erica couldn't see it, we all approached the thing, Enzo took out an axe and cut through the skin and we saw it, "okay four you can use your fire powers to wake him up as soon as we find a hiding place." Hopper said, "sir yes sir." She said and saluted, i smiled slightly, "hey lover boy find a hiding place before you get hurt." I heard Robin from behind me, i sighed in anoyence and hid

---

"HAH i beat you!" I said pointing towards y/n, "its one out of twenty three Harrington." She said as she flicked my forehead, "you owe me an ice cream." She said, "hey we didn't make a deal!" I yelled as she started to walk out of the arcade, i started to follow her, "well i thought I would make a deal but i knew you were gonna refuse Soo i stuck a sticky note on your back that said yes." She said, "wait what?!" I yelled trying to get the note from my back, she grabbed it instead, "so you owe me an ice cream." She said crumbling the peace of paper and putting it in her pocket, "whatever it's late we sould go home." I said going inside my car and turning it on as y/n sat in the passenger's seat

---

"ATTACK!" Hopper yelled and we all jumped out of our hiding spots, attacking Vecna with our swords, guns, whatever weapons we had, i could hear four cursing and crying in pain as i shivered at the noise

---

"I'm going out to lunch break!" I yelled to Robin, "fine but you have to be here in twenty minutes sharp!" She yelled back, i left the store and saw y/n sitting on the sidewalk, "oh hey y/n what're you doing here?" I asked, "waiting for you to leave for lunch break." She said as she stood up with a bright smile, "wow you just can't get enough of me can ya?" I said, "well it seems i can't now let's go! I prepared a picnic!" She said grabbing my wrist and dragging me along as i blushed, "wait- but I'm supposed to be back in twenty minutes!" I said to her as she suddenly stopped, "so your really gonna listen, the high school trouble maker Steve 'the hair' Harrington is gonna listen?" She asked turning around looking at my with a sly smirk, i smirked back, "fuck the curfew." I said, "there we are! Now let's go before the flys catch up to the food before us." She said and started to drag me again

---

"Holy shit y/n you okay?!?" Lucas yelled seeing y/n in pain, "I'm gonna be fine! Continue attacking him!" She yelled back as she created a strong gust of wind, launching her in the air, i hope she's right i think to myself as i stopped heating up my sword and started to slice the approaching demogorgons

---

"this is nice." I said taking a bite of the sandwich y/n had made for me, "yeah it better be cuz it took me the whole day to prepare." She said, "wait the whole day?" I asked, "yeah, how else do you think all this food got here? By Jesus? I don't think so." She said taking a bite of her sandwich as i laughed lightly, "well I'm full, wanna go back to the video store with me?" I asked, "nah, don't wanna get my ear yelled off by Robin." I said, "Shit! I forgot about her!" I yelled standing up, "then you better run sir shimmer pants, or she's gonna make you work for the whole shift." She said as she stood up with me, i felt something touch my back pocket but i brushed it off as a bug, "not even gonna complain about the nick name, bye!" I yelled as i started to run out of the forest

---

"Guys! I think I need more help with the demogorgons!" I yelled as i slashed the head of the one approaching seeing about ten of them running at me from a distance, fire soon shot them and i turned to see four, "thank you." I said, "no problem-" she got stopped in the middle of her sentence when a huge vine threw her to the ground, "Y/N!" I yelled, "DON'T WORRY ILL BE FINE JUST WATCH OUT!" She yelled back as i felt a vine wrap around my leg, before it could pull me Nancy chopped it of with an axe, "thanks-" "thank me later watch out for the demobats!" She yelled as she switched her axe to her gun and shot a couple that were pretty far away as i cut in half the closer ones

---

Y/n was right, Robin made me work all day long since i was gone for like an hour and a half and i didn't even notice, "i feel like I've tortured you enough, go sit down, but you better get back to work in five minutes." Robin said as she patted my shoulder taking the next customer, "thank you." I groaned as i went to the employees only room and sat down on a chair, i felt a crumbled peace of paper under me but when i stood up there was nothing there, i reached in to my back pocket and pulled out a crumbled note, i opened it to reveal y/n's handwriting, it read

Do u like like me :)

♡︎yes ♡︎no

Butterfly's erupted in my stomach as i couldn't believe my eyes, i kept reading the note over and over again not believing that it was true, as i picked up a pen to fill in my answer i heard a voice call out my name, "Five minutes is up Harrington! Get back to work!" I jumped as the peace of paper fell on the floor, i jumped off of my chair and went back to work, the note long forgotten

---

"we killed it!" Hopper yelled as he saw Vecna on the floor not breathing, the monsters and vines soon vaporized in to the air, "WE DID IT!!!" Mike yelled, we all cheered as i turned towards y/n, "you hear that y/n?! We did it!" I yelled and opened my eyes to see her laying down on the ground not moving, "y-y/n." I said, Robin quickly turned around and her smile dropped as she saw her lifeless form, "Y/N!!"

---

My shift was finally over and i was sitting around ar my house watching tv when i heard a knock in my door, i opened it to see y/n, "oh hey! What bring you here at... Ten o clock?!?" I said surprised as i looked at my clock, "just wondering if you got the note." She said, "what note?" I asked, "o-oh never mind." She stuttered, "wait why don't you stay for a while longer?" I asked, "oh I'm kind of busy, maybe later Harrington." She said not turning around to face me as she left without another word

---

"OH GOD Y/N!" i yelled as i ran towards her picking her up in my arms, she saw barely breathing as she looked up at me, "Oh god you're awake! Just stay like that for a couple more minutes-" "Steve we have to go-" Robin said as the gang left leaving me and Rabin still remaining in the upside down, but i still kept talking, "j-just hang on for a little while!" "S-steve." Y/n barely choked out as she shakily grabbed my cheek, "it's time." She said, "what time? Time for what?!" I said, "it's time for me to die, i lived my live Steve." She said, "N-no don't say that you're gonna survive! I yelled, she just smiled at me, "you have to move on without me." She said, tears were pouring down my cheeks like a water fall, "No- please stay with me!" I yelled, Robin grabbed my arm, y/n started to breathe less, "Harrington, i just want you to live, even if it means i have to die." She said, "at least in a hero now? R-tight?" She said as some blood started dripping from her mouth, my throat was so tight that i could speak, "see you on the other side, s-ir shiner pants." She chocked out a laugh as she took her final breath, her arm dropping from my face and landing on the ground

"NO Y/N!!" I yelled, i felt tears drop on my arm, i hugged y/n's corpse and Robin hugged me as we sobbed together

The upside down soon started to shake, "we have to go Steve." Robin said, her saddens now filling with worry, "w-what about y/n." I said, "y-you're going to have to leave her." She chocked out as she stood up, she grabbed my wrist and started dragging me towards the gate, i looked back at y/n to see her just lying on the ground

I chocked out a cry as we approached the gate and quickly got out, "Oh god you're okay!" Dustin yelled, "where's four?" Eleven asked, Robin and i looked at each other and back at them, i struggled to keep my tear's from falling as everyone understood what happened

"she- uh... S-She's de-ead."

---time skip---

I looked at my room with sadness, everything reminded me of her, and it didn't make it better that i had hundreds of pictures of her and i scattered around the room, i sat on my bed and let all of my tear's spill

Sobbing on my pillow as a small gust of wind flew a crumbled up note towards me, i picked it up

My eyes widening as more tears spilled from them, the note read

Do u like like me :)

♥︎yes ♡︎no

Is it weird that i cried writing this? Anyway

Had this in my drafts for like two days or something and decided to finish it :)

Hope ya enjoyed this angsty shiz

I hope you're having a great day/ night/ afternoon

Bye!!!

[ettawritesnstudies]

etta! thinking about you and your wips tonight! take this as a freebie ask to ramble about anything!

Hi Katie! How have you been doing?

Currently I have more non-writing active works in progress than stories but the quick rundown goes as so!

hand-sewing a pirate shirt as part of a cosplay base: but specifically so that I can be Vin from the Mistborn series this halloween. (I hope) I have all the materials I need and they're mostly cut out and stitched together in various stages of progress depending on what part of the shirt we're talking about. I mostly work on this during zoom calls for dnd games, but I've also been sick on-and-off since MAY and so I also spend a decent amount of time on the weekends just sitting around for hours and hyperfixating on a relatively simple task while youtube runs in the background

Editing Runaways before summer ends so that I can throw the 3rd draft at a second round of Beta readers while I'm dealing with the inevitable senior year uni drama. This is slower going than hoped due to being sick more or less all summer and not having the energy to do braining but we're getting the ball moving again. The core of the story will remain the same but this draft includes several big fixes that will hopefully help smooth out the entire story, such as...

Refining Hannah's character arc and her relationships with her family members

Providing more exposition and backstory as to the villain's motivations and the greater conflict going on in the fae world that the characters don't directly interact with,

Tweaking a couple of continuity errors and changing the worldbuilding to eliminate contradictions

strengthening the tone and voice and mood and pacing and all that good nitpicky sentence level stuff

Learning a bunch of songs on the guitar: I got a fingerstyle version of Fireflies by Owl City that I've been slowly picking up and I have some other pieces that I've been learning to sing and strum when I have a voice.

Figuring out audio recording, storage, editing, etc: This started as a project to record my dnd games for our group to use as review, but I might be exploring audio drama and podcast options in the near future once I get my act together.

Catching up on people's stories and my reading goals on goodreads: I can mostly read at work thanks to the nature of the tests I'm running at my internship this summer, so I've been splitting that between audiobooks, podcasts, ebooks, and fanfic

Sewing a bunch of patches onto my jacket/misc. embroidery projects: idk if I ever posted about this on here, but I have this green handmedown jacket that I love and want to customize so I've been embroidering homemade patches for it and sewing them on for several months now. I have a couple more my parents got me to add, there's florals attached now to give it some 3D texture, I want to add charms to make it noisy, it's a whole project on it's own separate from the sewing. I've also got leftover scrap fabric from the shirt I'll be turning into a dnd dice bag eventually

Author platform stuff/Catching up on writing reviews: because reviews really help indie authors! I want to do my part to help them get the recognition they deserve. Also maintaining my website is a part time job in and of itself so that's a decent chunk of my evenings.

Teaching myself digital art/animation: I impulse-bought a drawing tablet on a good deal earlier this summer and I'm putting it to good use with updated character art and illustrations, and hopefully some animatics or vine comps soon once I get my act together with THAT and overcome my fear of video editing.

Talking to friends and working on club stuff for uni: because none of them are here and I miss them :(

basically, I work for ~40 hours a week and spend the rest of my waking hours desperately wishing I had more free time, even those this is the most free time I've had in probably two+ years haha. If my body could stop dying for more than a week that would be great though :P

Thank you for checking in!

Community Prayer Line

Hi everyone it's Christy in Kentucky I wanted to pray for some of our Brothers and Sisters in Christ. father we love you we praise you and Lord we are lifting up a long list of Brothers and Sisters in Christ, that dawn has brought to us Lord that either have just started their journey and have accepted you as Lord and Savior or there's been seeds planted, Lord we pray that people will come behind them Father, water the seeds that have been planted. and for those who have not quite made that commitment. Lord Jesus, we pray for them Lord that they will open their hearts to hear the gospel, and to know how much you love them and for them to receive you as Lord and savior. Father, we pray for Emmy Lord and Illinois. Father, we thank you so much and that her baby is okay.

I just finished listening to you pray on the 18th and my goodness thank you for just letting the Holy Spirit lead you even in the words that you prayed about not forgetting the darkness that God has rescued us from. and as I'm just sitting here pondering that thought oh my goodness I'm so grateful. Hallelujah bless your Holy Name Jesus. I'm so grateful for the darkness that he rescued me from, oh my Lord, and so I just wanted to offer a word of encouragement to the mom who didn't leave a name but a little while back you called in about moving away to Colorado and feeling guilty because you're moving away from your son who's battling homosexuality, and let me just first say you don't need to feel guilty for moving where God is leading you but finally, please know your father is at work and your son's life and heart despite of what it looks like. I'm a living witness. He can rescue him, you be encouraged mom.

Q E D and Z for the fandom ask. For Z, I would like you to talk about your oldest fandom you're still part of if that's okay!

P.S. I forgot how fun it is to send asks and spell things out, but I did try to keep a theme this time, heh.

(Previously on "ask games" . . . quod erat demonstrandum)

E - Have you added anything cracky/hilarious to your fandom? If so, what?

While I answered this previously, something else did come to mind here... not that it fully counts, but I was temporarily "known" as the "cosplay granny" due to a post I made... "Dig a little deeper" as an audio post with the caption "cosplaying" (Reminder - it starts with "don't matter what you look like")

Oh, also vine compilations for fandoms

Q - A fandom you’ve abandoned and why.

Ironically, it's also Harry Potter. In retrospect, it does have to be said that I mostly liked it due to social pressure (read: close friends liked it), but apparently I was knowledgeable enough about this franchise that I counted as a go-to-person for questions. Still, if you want a magic school, Little Witch Academia is definitely the better pic. Or even Winx Club. Probably also other franchises I cannot think about at the moment.

D - A pairing you wish you liked but just can’t.

Akemi and Akai, and Furuya and Azusa... they just have no flavour to me (and Furuya in particular just doesn't strike me as interested in women... not saying he has to be gay, just - not straight imo)

There are a few pairings I dislike without the "wish you liked" part... which makes this question a lot more difficult. But I suppose I could count Iron Bull x Dorian Pavus into this, as they DO have cute fanart and CAN be read as cute... I just dislike how they started off a lot (dubious consent).

Z - Just ramble about something fan-related, go go go! (Prompts optional but encouraged.)

Okay, here's the thing: I don't recall my first fandom. Detective Conan, Sailor Moon, Digimon, and Pokémon are all animes that I've watched when very young... Pokémon Red, Yellow, and Gold are games I additionally had played back then. I also watched Winx Club, read W.i.t.c.h., and a few other things, but those came later.

I'm still mostly a fan of DCMK, Digimon, and Pokémon - while I still enjoy Sailor Moon, it has since moved to the back of my mind... and well, Pokémon has lost me until the B&W remakes drop (even if I still like it conceptually - I only watch specials, and rarely play anything). Which leaves me with Detective Conan and Digimon, to keep it interesting.

For Z, I would like you to talk about your oldest fandom you're still part of, if that's okay!

I'll die on the hill that Detective Conan should get the Naruto Shippuuden treatment: Just bring Shinichi back. Call it "Detective Conan ~Kudou Shinichi's Return~" for all I care, but it's about time that we see him again. He probably should defeat the Organization, too, but I'd settle for just having him back and coming clean to his loved ones (Ran), who are in danger anyways.

As for Digimon... I've always been of the opinion that Digimon, unlike Pokémon, has a great thing going with its alternative universes. No straight evolution lines, no straight Digi-Destined or Tamers or what'cha-call-its. By making everything AU, you keep your possibilities endless.... now if only they'd make better use of it. Also, in spite of what I just said, I wish they'd just straight up remastered Adventures instead of remaking it/changing it.

Todays rip: 17/07/2023

Battle with Jeffinite

Season 4 Episode 1 Featured on: The SiIvaGunner Spooktacular Halloween Horror Special Collection '17-'19

Ripped by RHMan Visuals by Moder112

As one may be able to deduce just by my obsession with the channel as a whole, I have a strange fascination with absurdist humor, and really just stuff that's flat-out stupid in general. Believe me, it becomes harder by the day to stop myself from just going off the rails about Not Funny Didn't Laugh Day from earlier in the same season as this rip, arguably the channel's most unhinged takeover its ever had. But in the same spirit of stupid Vine humor, I today bring you Battle with Jeffinite.

It should be mentioned that, in a lot of ways, Season 4 Episode 1 was aiming to bring back the chaotic nature the channel had during its first season, similar but more all-encompassing than Season 3's Nostalgia Takeover. This was evident in a lot of areas, with the notable example for this rip in particular being how it was actually part of a small ARG on the channel. Season 4 Episode 1 hosted the third annual SilvaGunner Spooktacular Halloween Horror Special, and turned it into a full-scale murder mystery episode wherin several memes were framed as suspects of the murder through their rips. One of these suspects was Jeff the Killer, who through this GIF and others had his likeness merged with the very normal and funny Vine meme My Name Jeff. Basically - every rip with Jeff-like contents was a sign that Jeff the Killer might've committed the event's murder.

I am unfortunately speaking as an outsider here, as I wasn't able to participate in the ARG due to not being as invested in the channel during the event. But like I said, the Season's mission statement was a whole lot more all-encompassing than just the ARG nature, and so I'm able to appreciate the rips made during it for their absurdity and insane creativity althesame. Though I'm glad we've since moved past Season 1, it still feels very heartwarming to see it honored so often.

So, what actually is the rip we're talking about today? Its pretty simple really - take the intense EDM theme of Infinite's boss fight from Sonic Forces, and turn it into a full-on Jeffpocalypse. It took me a while to realize that the song isn't just using the isolated My Name Jeff clip as its audio source, but rather the fanmade "Trap Remix" of the song, which is then pitchshifted into the quickly repeating beats of the original track's melody. Having these two tracks coexist rather than using My Name Jeff's vocal samples really helps bring the two together, as its now neither full-on mashup or full-on YTPMV. And though I can't say I understand the choice to place Sonic sound effects into the mix leading up to the chorus, they absolutely help the beat sound all the more absurd-yet-banging.

Though the theme hasn't lived in my mind for long, and I'm still a bit miffed I wasn't able to pay too much mind to the event as it was happening...its almost just as magical to dig these treasures up years after their original context.

Oh and Mr. RHMan? Godspeed for the Cool Meme Team cameos, I will never let those boys be forgotten.

this person followed me.... waited for me to follow back..... and then blocked me? i wonder what the thought process was like

Nevertheless: Wishful Thinking [1]

[completed] [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

synopsis: why would the college flirt want anything to do with the innocent heartbreaker? a [somewhat] nevertheless au featuring tbz's eric son young jae

genre [per chapter]: suggestive material, mentions of alcohol, SMUT *this series is a smut series so* please don't read if you're uncomfy. if you're underaged and you still wanna read, i'm not stopping you. i don't care because that's your responsibility to know what's fiction and what's not.

word count: 2.8k, half of which is probably filth

taglist: @from-xero

{this is a work of fiction}

"i'm sorry, i just... i just don't see you that way."

the boy tries his hardest not to choke (or sob) as he lowers his head, the bouquet of flowers in his hands crinkling when he brings it down to his side.

he huffs, using his tongue to poke the inner sides of his cheeks as his grimace pulls out into a smirk.

you look at him with utmost guilt, fingers awkwardly intertwined with one another as you scan the distraught on his face.

"so..." he slowly nods, looking up from the floor. "not even the most popular person on campus can win you over, huh?"

the label strikes a chord in you.

honestly, you were just waiting for him to say those words. you hadn't expected the campus star boy to confess to you tonight, much less at his own graduation party.

he was two years your senior and frankly way out of your league - leaving you with absolutely no clue how he came about to develop feelings for you.

you had wondered if he was merely capitalising on your growing reputation as the 'innocent heartbreaker'.

the pretty, new, freshman who just couldn't seem to stop heads from turning.

one of those heads was his.

wooseok scoffs, obviously unhappy and dissatisfied with your response.

how dare the pretty freshman reject the hottest boy on campus?

"okay," wooseok nods, still holding out the flowers to you. "at least take the flowers, would you?"

grimly picking the golden-wrapped roses from him, you scan his eyes, glossed with a layer of tears as his nose sours.

"wooseok-"

"no, don't," he interrupts you, sucking in a deep breath as he puffs out his chest. the yelling from outside his bedroom door calls the both of your attention.

"the party's still going on until morning, are you staying?"

with a light shake of your head, you hug the flowers close to your chest. your heart slows down, calming from the fact that he had brought you in here just to confess and not something else you were afraid of.

the guilt sinks in when you realise you didn't trust wooseok all that much.

"okay, well..." he clears his throat, rubbing the back of his neck. the silver shine off the school's logo on the varsity jacket glimmers under the room's ceiling light. "at least stay until we finish the first bottle of vodka? we have games later."

"oh, wooseok, i can't-"

"come on," he reaches forward and grabs your hands, his hands hot and warm. probably from the adrenaline he had to give himself to make this feat. "the first bottle."

you look up from his fingers and at his face, his fringe covering his eyes and casting sharp-angled shadows all over his lids.

your lips part, but before you can even utter a sound, he hops right in and exclaims with a grin on his face. "great! i'll see you around and come find me when you're leaving, okay?"

the smile lines extend from the sides of his nose and down to his lips, the shadow lines on his cheeks shifting as he turns on his heels, hands sliding off yours.

"i'll-" he points to his door, already reaching for the handle. "yeah. bye."

wooseok pulls the door open for him to exit, and right before he can shut the door behind him, his eyes come between the gap to take one last look at you.

the door clicks shut after he moves off first, and you're left with the roses in your arms, standing in the middle of his room, having just rejected the most sought-after bachelor in the school.

looking down at the roses once more, your finger-pads rub against the velvet petals, heart aching for him.

the neon lights in his room were casting a bright blue hue all over the walls and the carpeted ground, trophies for baseball and customised bats decorating almost every corner.

you turn to his bed, thinking of leaving the flowers on the cushion and leaving quietly through his window.

but your train of thought violently snapped into two when the party outside yells, followed by the loud thunking of the bass throughout the house.

the flowers are a reminder of how shit of a person you are.

you didn't ask to be a heartbreaker.

people tend to think you find joy in rejecting the brave ones who get their feelings across but you don't. not at all.

carefully laying the bouquet of flowers back onto his bed, you pull the door of his room open and step out into the hallway, the music blasting like everyone was deaf and hard of hearing.

the crowd in the living room comes into view when you start walking down the stairs - everybody jumping on beat to the likes of superbass and people yelling the all-time classic rap.

your knuckles whiten from gripping onto the wooden railings, unable to return yourself to the party when you've done broken the heart of the host himself.

so you turn on your heels, deciding to return to his room and crawl out through his window - only to be met by someone else.

"party's downstairs."

if you were the innocent heartbreaker...

then eric son was the vicious one - the male, sluttier equivalent of you.

"oh, well... party's not for me," you offer a tiny smile, slightly embarrassed to be caught making a u-turn.

eric tilts his head to the side, holding out an arm and resting it on the wooden railings. you lower your head, taking a step to your left in a bid to walk past him.

but you're stopped yet again by his arm reaching out, palm pressing flat into the concrete as he looks down at you.

you don't realise your fists are clenched (and sweating) until you rub them onto your dress.

"look, eric- i- i had a bad day and i just-"

"so walk out the front door," he raises a single brow, taking a step down and removing his hand off the wooden railing.

your feet fumble around each other in a bid not to topple down the stairs. turning to face you, he forces you to step back to maintain the safe distance between you.

"i don't want to make a scene-" the bad habit of picking your nails returns when your back hits the wall, and eric's standing an uncomfortable distance from you now.

"oh," he lifts his free hand and mirrors the other, keeping your neck between his forearms. but you are the scene. you can't just... leave."

a flustered chuckle runs through your throat as you lean your head back against the wall. "i don't have the time for this."

"make time for me," eric cocks his head to the side and glances down near the bottom of your face. "you can tell me about your bad day."

"i think i'll be fine on my own, thank you," carefully squatting and trying to shrink out from the wall-eric sandwich, your brows furrow as you shift.

but eric son buckles his arm and halves the distance he has between your faces, the sudden surge forcing you back upright.

now his breath is hot on your jaw and you turn away from him, lips pursed into a thin, tight line.

"the 'innocent heartbreaker'," he gently hums, fingers reaching up to play with the curled locks fallen around your upper arms. the fleeting brushes of his skin across yours draw out chills, and a harsh inhale twitches your facial expressions to his liking. "i can see why boys would fall for this."

with your eyes still glued to the party downstairs, you part your lips, wanting to explain yourself.

then eric, with the weight of feathers, reaches up to your chin and tilts it towards him.

his lips are parted as he slides his tongue across his teeth. he sighs softly, eyes travelling from yours to your lips and back up.

by now, you can feel his breath on your philtrum.

"you're pretty," he whispers, almost against your lips.

and your stomach plummets when he pulls away completely, the cool air rushing in to replace the bodily heat.

without breaking eye contact, even for a single second, eric pushes himself off the wall. lips drawn out into a wide smile, he adjusts his jacket and runs his hand through his hair.

"but not that pretty."

you don't realise your heart's racing until you feel your chest heaving, unknowingly panting from the unruly interaction the vicious heartbreaker has just provided you.

the world finally seeps back into view and into complete perfect audio, the music finally rumbling through you again when your eyes trail after eric, walking into the crowd jumping in the living room.

the taste of iron seeps out from the inside of your lips, and you dart your tongue across the mark that your teeth have left on your flesh.

clearing your throat and shaking the thought of eric out of your head, you turn back up the steps and head back into wooseok's bedroom.

the blue hues of the room start to sink into your consciousness again, the yellow shade of the bouquet wrap looking more like green under the lighting.

you take a moment to fester - over wooseok, over your reputation, over eric.

college just started and here you were, feeling guilty over something that wasn't even your fault.

the final decision comes to rest on your fingers in the form of pulling wooseok's window open, carefully lifting your feet and crawling under the glass.

now, troublemaker was playing, muffled but definitely loud enough to be heard at least 3 houses down the road. you climb onto the roof of his garage, eyes scanning to cars parked outside and along the road.

you stride to the side where you know wooseok had a wooden plating attached to one of the walls, fake vines intertwined between the planks.

it's a relief when your feet meet the concrete ground, and nobody was in sight - until you back up into someone's chest and you turn to find eric, again.

"what in the world-"

he cuts you off by grabbing your waist, slotting his lips between yours and holding your chin to align your faces.

you were nearly bought into it, but the consciousness seeps back into you and you rip your face off his, palms one his chest with his hands still on your waist.

"what do you think you're doing?"

"i could ask you the same thing."

"you already know I'm leaving."

"you can't leave just yet."

"why the hell not?"

"because I'm not done with you."

with a low huff, he hoists you up onto his hips, lips crashing onto yours as he walks you backwards, your shoulder blades hitting the wall where you had climbed down from.

there's a gentle rattle when he keeps you up against the wooden planks, his palms riding the skirt of your dress up and over your hips.

his fingers slide under the material of your underwear hugging your pelvis, hot skin gripping onto the flesh of your rear.

then you hear a tear amongst the mess he's making on your lips, and the material of your underwear loosens.

"what the-"

"shh," he smirks, now turning his head into your neck to nip on your jaw. your chest heaves from the sensitivity, the fluttering sensation of his lips on your neck drilling chills all through you. "make a sound and everyone will know you couldn't say no to me."

conscience returns to you for a split second.

"eric- we can't-"

before you can finish your sentence, eric drags the thin material out from under you and dangles it before you, his eyes clouded and dark.

the darkened patch of material on your underwear washes your face in pink and heat.

"you were saying?"

your stomach plummets, and you now register the coolness on your core. eric smiles, rolling up the material to shove it into his pocket.

"eric-" your fingers dig into his left forearm as they return to the wall by your head, his right carefully undoing his belt.

the clink of the metal followed by the zipper coming undone forms a knot in your stomach already, then his fingers coming to spread your neediness all over you forces a sharp whimper up your lungs.

"I've done nothing..." he shakes his head, sliding a single finger up and down your core. "and you are so wet."

he lifts his finger from under your skirt, his fingers glistening under the sharp, fluorescent lighting.

your hooded lids are just about tearing with the overwhelming ache that's throbbing through you, and he makes it worse by running his tongue all over his finger.

eric's pride swells when a whine escapes your throat, and he presses himself into you, chest against yours with his hands digging into your thighs. your arms circle around his shoulders, pulling him closer for a deep, slow kiss.

he prods against you, the throbbing ache spiking when his manhood rubs against your core. groaning into the kiss, your entire being squirms between him and the wall with the muffled music still blasting from the living room.

he doesn't bother to wait for you before he finds his manhood and aligns it with your entrance, gently prodding before sliding himself in like it was meant to be.

he buries himself inside you by holding your thighs around his hips even tighter, drawing a low and prolonged moan from your lips.

eric pulls away, pressing his forehead into yours to let you breathe. but he finds some kind of sadistic pleasure when he pulls his hips away, only to slam right back in, earning a sharp yelp from you.

"go any louder, princess, and i won't be the only one enjoying this."

he grins to himself, licking his lips before diving into your neck and picking at all the right spots. every kiss and nibble earned him a moan or a mewl and it ruins your pride over and over to know that you had just broken someone's heart tonight.

yet you were outside that someone's house, letting eric rail you like he owned you.

your fingers claw and grip at his shirt as you feel your back jerk and rock against the wooden plank. with every thrust he offers you, he sounds like he's laughing and panting at the same time, the hot breath on your neck making you writhe in a guilty pleasure.

he offers a few slower thrusts before grabbing your chin to look at him, eyes slightly fucked out and your thighs tired from keeping your body locked to his.

slowly pulling out and sliding back in, he takes the time to revel in the way your brows furrow and your lips fall apart, your curled hair now a mess around your chest and shoulders.

"that's it, princess," he leans into your ear and coos. "tell me how good that feels."

unable to form a coherent word in your head, you whine in response, pulling his face to yours and planting your lips onto his with every ounce of energy left in you.

his hands fumble under your skirt and find your sensitivity, pressing his thumb flat onto you. the pressure jerks you upwards and he takes the opportunity to reposition himself, changing the angle ever so slightly.

by some miracle, the tip of him buried inside you finds the magic spot, and when he picks up his pace, the knot starts to find you in eternal bliss.

eric pulls away again, huffing as he thrusts himself into you, fingers flicking and abusing you as if your legs weren't already shaking and convulsing around his hips.

"good girl," his breath is heavy on your jaw as he plants a few wet kisses there, his pants bringing you to some newer heights. your vision starts to fade into white with a few more thrusts and his fingers dig into your thighs when your lower body starts to spasm.

muscles flexing, your entire body squirms and trembles as you meet your high.

then eric hurriedly pulls out, the hot fluid dribbling all over the ground under you.

while you come down from your high, eric's strained grunts rumble through his torso under your arms. the vein that popped out on his neck was still there, and your senses only allow enough for you to focus on eric now.

he bites on his bottom lip and pushes his hair back with a deep inhale. he turns to you, eyes wide open and clear.

"not such an innocent princess now, are you?"
