Just sat down and actually skimmed through the crocomom/dad theory(to avoid heavy spoilers but I’m sure there weren’t any besides Ivankov in the reddit post I read) and I fully believe it could be possible but only because it’s funny as fuck and actually has some potential for a fucked up heartless detail about Crocodile that I love so much because I don’t see it very often

Since Kojima’s been saying that the Death Stranding film is going to tell a story that can only be told through the film medium, I really hope it’s a prequel to the game. There are a lot of background events represented through text and dialogue that wouldn’t translate well to a video game format on their own.

It’d be really cool to see the start of the Stranding, Victor and Igor’s backstory (as seen in the DS novelization), snippets from Sam’s childhood/early years with Bridges, the development and construction of the chiral network, and most of the events described in Higgs’ journals.

Coffin’s decision to leave her family behind, start a terrorist uprising by radicalizing the porters who unknowingly abetted human sacrifices by delivering BBs for the chiral network, and the decision to adopt Higgs as her protégé? That story alone would be worthy of a film.

honestly, i dislike shipping without substance as much as anyone does. i adore picking apart characters and love worldbuilding more than anything else in the creative field -- but i think it's incredibly unnecessary to be as hostile as i've seen people be toward the recent uptick in dunmeshi interest (as if people are advertising it solely for the lesbianism). even if that were the only case drawing fans in, there are plenty of other games and shows that have been praised/offered up for (at most - implied) gay men & from that, posts that have the gag be "what do you MEAN there's murder in my gay show/game/etc.!" as an indicator that's been their first and only impression.

i haven't seen nearly as many people critique such incidents with disco elysium, for example, despite that being my own first impression due to the surface art i've seen (whereupon only searching for a game summary i realized there was so, so much more). i really don't see why we're suddenly so scandalized and concerned that people are overly excited to praise an interesting (if romantic) dynamic with two main girl characters - which feels rare for a lot of trending media in the first place.

Possibly insane steeplechase theory (includes spoilers)???

Steeplechase takes place (in the future) in the plane of thought of the main balance planerverse. That’s why people know about taz balance in that world.

Hey what if I got possessed by the spirit of sonadow and rewrote the first interaction scene between Caitlyn and Vi for my Prime Arcane AU

[1,180 words]

––

Nervousness gripped his entire being as the elevator numbers trickled upwards in negative numbers until they reached -40. It did not ease in the slightest once taking in a breath of the stale air and stepping into a gloomy corridor illuminated by weak, cold blue light. And in fact it only rose once the sound of repeated thuds echoing of the grimy walls reached his ears.

Still, he needed answers, and knowing he was close or at least finally had a tangible lead to get him to them, he solidified enough courage to walk all the way towards the source of the beating sound, behind a rusted, steel cell door.

The enforcer stood there in silence, getting the few glimpses allowed by the weak light at the prisoner who appeared to be beating into the harsh brick wall with bare hands and knees, unflinching. Sweat clumped together their dull blue fur and their quills bristled as they stilled, definitely alarmed now to Shadow's presence without him needing to say a word. They turned their head around silently, and green eyes glared through his head as they sneered at him.

Shadow let his own features harden and braced for the interrogation. As said he needed answers, and he won't budge until he gets them.

"I checked through everything available. There seems to exist no tangible record on you."

The prisoner, a blue hedgehog with either what seemed to be a scar or a tattoo of a crooked S on their cheek, bloodied knuckles and knees wrapped in dirty bandages, and messy quills turned to fully face him. He seemed to quickly size him up and down with a flick of his eyes and then began to slowly pace inside of the empty cell.

Shadow took all of the currently discernable information about the other as he ran through the questions in his head one last time.

"What did they lock you up for."

No answer. He simply continued to circle around like a hungry wolf stuck in a cage, eyes looking on and away from him, each time sending a death glare more prominently than the last.

Not a talker then huh.

"You attacked a cellmate. Why?"

He merely shrugged, at least something to confirm they were simply being difficult on purpose and not def.

"He was a witness for an ongoing investigation."

Still bouncing wall to wall, the blue hedgehog threw their head back with a toothy smirk as if proud of themselves.

Shadow's patience was running thin but honestly, he should've expected a prisoner that seemingly beats a wall for fun would be a headache. That silent cockiness was also getting on his nerves.

He gripped his notebook tighter as a means of keeping himself grounded, a cool head was needed for this and he needed to think more thoroughly..

Lost in his head for what was probably a bit too long, he was startled by a sudden bang on the cell door.

Quills bristling, mouth turning to a comically deep scowl, and eyes bulging wide he barely managed to keep himself from jumping back.

Quickly leveling his expression down again, he feigned being unimpressed and stared at the blue hedgehog now plastered onto the cell door with a wide shit-eating grin on his face.

Illuminated by the light just a bit more, his irises were eerely small and eyes sunken while patches of their fur were visibly missing, damaged, broken up by scars and smeared with grime and dried blood.

It took everything in him to keep his expression neutral.

Upon locking eyes with the blue prisoner, he suddenly burst out laughing. But it was a hoarse, disgusting laugh, as if he hadn't used his voice for years, let alone laughed out loud in such a manner as now.

Shadow failed the battle with his facial muscles and finally grimaced as the prisoner transitioned into a coughing fit. Gross, dry coughing and wheezing filled the endless corridor for a few seconds before he simply smiled at him, yet the eyes had all but disdain and indifference behind them.

But he acknowledged Shadow's presence properly at least. It was a chance, maybe.

Shadow looked to the floor where a worn-out red line dictated the distance one must keep from the cell. With a collected sigh, he stepped over it while opening his notebook. Maybe the notes could jog some cooperative reaction while he presented his questions differently.

"Do these symbols look any familiar to you?"

The prisoner, who glanced at him from the middle of the cell where he had just a second ago was holding onto the doors again in a blink of an eye, with a bewildered, questioning look flickering between the pages and Shadow's face.

"I take that as a yes."

Being startled a second time, the enforcer collected himself again.

"Does the name 'Eggman' or 'Ivo' ring any bells?"

The hedgehog hesitantly nodded as he glared at the words just the tiniest bit.

Finally getting somewhere.

"I have a suspicion he was the one who correlated a recent attack on the city, which killed half a dozen enforcers."

The haunting look in the hedgehog's eyes did not leave the notebook for a second as his breathing grew heavier.

"I however need proof to back up my claims." Shadow continued as he closed the pages, directing the other hedgehog's attention to his face and words instead.

The other slowly shrugged their shoulders while giving a nod, but then rattled the bars and motioned both with his head and thumb to the side with, and Shadow is perhaps seeing things, a hopeful glimmer in his eye.

He took a second to understand the gesture, feeling like he needed an actual confirmation.

"You want me to let you..out of the cell?"

The hedgehog gave the most confident nod as of yet, but Shadow thought it the most outlandish. There was no guarantee a Stillwater prisoner won't just run away to cause more havoc the second he blinks or lets his guard down.

"You take me for an insane person? No way I'm trusting someone like you."

The blue hedgehog scoffed, with his face quickly morphing into disgust as he spat to the ground near the door, it didn't hit either of them, but the message was clear.

Without further interaction, he let go of the bars and retrieved back into the darkness of the cell.

The enforcer grimaced again. It seems any chance of further negotiation is over. He turned to leave, a million thoughts a minute running through his head until he paused for a second.

Did he have anyone else to turn to for this? This was the best bet he had and probably will ever get.

What he was about to do was stupid yes, but if it was meant to help people and stop the attacks then maybe...

Shadow continued on his way out, breathing deeply in an attempt to cool off and settle on a new goal.

Good thing that he has just the friend to make a bail of the blue hedgehog possible.

not to p*riod post but like. it came so late last month and it’s even later this month probably both due to stress (lol) and i mean i never “hope” i will get it ever but i was hoping id get it during the fall break so it wouldn’t mess up any of the things i need to do this week and i think there’s like a 90% chance im gonna get it tomorrow which is a jam packed day during which im supposed to give a campus tour to a prominent vice president an hour after getting to the office so. lol

[uselessnbee]

i think it would be a hilarious idea for a fic where they try to make mer!Mike mate with mer!El but instead their relationship becomes sibling like and after a while they make mer!Will join them thinking (hoping) he would either mate with mer!El or all of them become like siblings but the moment mer!Mike sees mer!Will he's like👀👀👀and mer!Will is like👀👀👀right back and the people are just like holy shit dude we have gay mermaids

If my father hadn’t of crushed my dreams of being an author apart like he crushed my laptop full of years of work on my vampires in half over his knee, maybe…..just maybe I would have reached John Greene’s potential.

Actually some things happening to me would be easier to explain if someone was able to go through my to do lists and journal directly

[dimiclaudeblaigan]

this is a very venty post don't mind me :D

that nintendo direct was so horrible.

it was literally like 80 percent remakes and remasters.

never in my life have i seen an announcement video exist just to say "every game you've ever known since the 90s is being remade/remastered, sorry, we ran out of originality".

literally like all the video game market is anymore is remakes and the movie industry is just as bad.

the nso releases are fine because they're not like, remakes taking up full game slots. they're old games that are being made accessible and that's great... but there's no need to remake this many games when they can do that. remakes used to be rare. remember stuff like the wii u shop and stuff? with all the games they had on those things? now it's a tiny selection and everything else is a remake :/

also I feel like a lot of new rpgs are just like... lowkey fe knockoffs now instead of original rpgs.

i'm happy for like... two existing remakes, but one of them is mario rpg which people wanted waaaaAAAAAYYYY before the remake and remaster era, and the other is baten kaitos which im not actually happy about remaster-wise (the updated ui is trash, they took out very specific charms of the original ui), just happy that it will get more recognition/notice from people since it was never popular.

they also completely removed the english voice acting which like okay yeah it wasn't always that great but the voices fit perfectly and it wasn't as bad as fans meme on it for! it just sounded like they were talking through a tube and that was actually the worst part of it lol.

someone suggested to me that they may have just lost the data for it, but idk. i wish they'd just admit that somehow if it was the case, because it bugs me that the english audio is just completely gone when ultimately i really liked it. i wanted the game to be accessible to newer players, sure, but i also wanted the english audio there. ig that's because i grew up with it and i liked it, but it's still such a bummer for me!

paper mario being put on the nso and tyd getting a whole remaster does make me sad tho bc it feels like they're leaving the original in the dust when it was so good. if you're gonna do tyd, at least do them both.

good for innersloth though, i'm sure they never imagined being on a nintendo direct. they're the real winners here.
