how did the april fools boop day go for you ? Do you miss the boop?

The boop is gone. My days feel empty, dark, purposeless. How else will I fill these hours without pressing on my screen 2000 times to gain cat paw badges and boop strangers?

But in all seriousness it was a fun and harmless April's fools event, one of the first I took part in, and absolutely ruined my notifications. The boop staying would have been nice for innocent interactions with mutuals and showing people you see them when they suddenly go through your blog and like every other post.

I will miss the boop.

Boop

Saw your post a about group chats, why don't you make a discord?

Well, I mean I could but would anyone even join 😅? But if anyone showed interest, sure, why not? I'd love to have a little discord just for me and my lovely mutuals

On that note, I am in a pretty cool discord called Goofy Gublers and it's really fun, everyone is so supportive and nice ♡

I voted kh3 because I didn't play DDD, Sora seemed stupid compared to in 2 imo, he also came across as whiny at points, like the scene in Olympus after Pete mocks him, he felt more so 10 than 15

Ahh, that is interesting! I hadn't considered the idea that KH3 Sora would look different to someone with no knowledge of how DDD's story is all about tearing Sora down. How his good nature and desire to help people is ultimately how Xehanort draws him in and leaves him more vulnerable than he's ever been, ultimately causing him to lose in the end with Riku being forced to bail him out

Part of what I appreciate about KH3's portrayal is how it manages to recover from DDD. It's actually one of the few times I can think of in the series where Sora is allowed to carry over some development from a previous game, in this case having him carry over how much DDD shattered his sense of self-worth, especially when compared to the other Keyblade Wielders. Of course Sora is testy when Pete mocks him in Olympus, because Pete is directly calling out what happened in DDD! Sora failed spectacularly, lost most of his abilities because of it, it's so obvious that even Pete sees it, and because of it he's getting shafted from the "important" duties with nothing he can do about it other than run these side missions while Mickey and Riku do the saving

But if you don't have the context from DDD, that won't hit. Because you don't know that Sora feels like he let everyone down by being tricked by Xehanort and KH3 to him feels like he's trying in vain to catch up to Riku. You're missing the entire point of his characterization in KH3 without DDD

And if you thought KH3 Sora was stupid, you prooooooobably shouldn't touch DDD

Hello! I really enjoyed reading your Brad Bakshi fic. There is just something about that extremely older than me ma I’m obsessed with as of lately. I saw in your other post you will mostly write angst for him so feel free to ignore this request (cause it would most likely be very fluffy) but could you possibly write a fic about Brad hiding his wife from MQ. He has been married a while but doenst wear the ring to work or let anyone know as he doesn’t really want him being the loving husband he is (cause he would be tbh) to ruin his “street cred”. Maybe she comes into the office for whatever reason and everyone finds out.

Again, I know you mostly want to write angst for him (and you have done SO WELL doing that) so please feel free to ignore this. And happy holidays!

hold on... maybe he's working late one day and reader thinks that everyone has gone home, so she decides to go and keep brad some company. when she gets there ian, poppy, and everyone is still there.

you are a genius anon, truly. i'm writing another piece for brad rn (and it's fluff) but this is next. also if you have anything else to add, i'm listening :)

[elletao]

So, I was looking up some information for a Fic I am writing, and happened to stumble on this;

https://aliceoseman.fandom.com/wiki/Darragh_Hand

And now I am really looking forward to some Tori and Michael scenes in Season 3! What do you think?

ohh i had no idea they'd cast michael! i don't recognize the actor but he and jenny look cute.

the sunshine/grumpy energy coming from these pics is so funny fjfj i too am looking forward to watching their scenes in s3!

[lou-struck]

Operation stay away Cupid is such a cute idea!! Fr how do you think of these scenarios ur creative asl lol I also really like how you write everyone soo in character! Can’t wait for the next parts :))

🥺🥹😭.

This ask really just made me tear up a bit. I always love it when you guy pop into my inbox, especially when I am working on little things like this and don’t really know if it will get received well. So thank you so much!

I do a lot of brainstorming of ideas in my spare time, either from finding out little bits of lore, personal experiences, or they just come out of nowhere.

Hey what happened

hey uhm

i know i have been mia for like half a year lol but i have been busy with life and will still be for the next few month since I'm changing my major at uni and have to do like 3 month of internships and I'm currently moving in with my gf

so a lot of stress and between that all, work and my uni courses i didn't get around to write anything since i last posted.

I honestly don't know when I will find the time to write again in the near future, and I'm sorry to keep you all waiting but life comes first and I hope you understand that.

until then i hope you have an amazing time and see you hopefully soon ✨

I know we've all been talking about how Emmet and the other station workers and such interact with Ingo now, but after the introduction of Lily I love the idea of a bunch of station pokemon having their own interactions and relationships amongst each other. Lily going out of her way to mess with Ingo constantly. Some others maybe thinking he's rude at first for not knowing about unwritten social rules among pokemon.

Maybe one female in their egg group even thinks he looks so fancy with his special coloration that she decides she wants to get with him, and Ingo has the most awkward moment of his life as he has to turn her down. Some other pokemon comes to fight him to prove itself because it wanted to get with said female and now sees him as competition because she's no longer interested.

Just. Ingo getting dragged into the world of local petty Pokemon drama.

Ok its been in here for like ages but im gonna get to this one. Sorry for the wait its just been forgotten after too long.

Ok so i think the other pokemon at the station totally think Ingo is weird. Like clearly he has no idea how to pokemon so they can easily tell that. Some go to bully him thinking hes an easy target but once the fight breaks out (Ingo does try very very hard not to) its clear that Ingo is no easy target.

I think hes been playing with his mon for a while. The moment he was healthy enough for it they insisted. And honestly he was ready to learn some defensive moves. Boy did they train him well. He trained them to be their best so it only makes sense he would go off the charts. He has a better understanding of battling than them and once he gets the knowledge of how it works to use his moves hes gonna be unstoppable. The twins are competitive (emmet more so of course) so Ingo gets pretty into their play fights. Which his and Emmets team love. Emmet was very not ok with this till he started seeing Ingo fight. Now he loves watching their mock battles.

The point to all that is that Ingo can for sure fight now! So when some strong pokemon come to push Ingo around it ends with him winning. Plus he didnt have a scratch on him. (The pokemon who attacked him had been wild. I know a lot of people say pokemon live in the subway idk i havent played the game)

Now word is spreading about the crazy strong weirdo sneasel. He has no common sense but boy can he battle. Soon hes being challenged a lot more. Some of the pokemon are more polite about it others not so much.

As for Lily she knows hes subway boss Ingo so shes not gonna fall for his strength. She enjoys messing with him and taunting him. (Its prolly cause while her trainer loves her and spoils her shes not actually used in battle very much) This doesnt mean Lily doesnt tell all the other female sneasels on the subway about him. Shes an agent of chaos after all.

So now Ingo not only has pokemon coming to challenge him for the honour of some other pokemon. BUT also female pokemon looking for a strong mate. He absolutely hates the latter. Everytime one approaches him he quickly shuts that down! I think they accept it pretty quickly. Though maybe like one refuses to give up idk. Shes constantly trying to court him. Which ticks off the other males cause Ingo keeps refusing.

Ok though now that we are here i might as well

Imagine the other female, the one who wont give up, takes it to far and genuinely starts to come onto Ingo. I think Lily might step up and help him out. Like she may love tormenting Ingo but she has SOME morals. “This doesnt mean we are friends Boss Ingo. She just took thinks to far.” Before peacing out.

I have her call him Boss Ingo cause her trainer does. Sonce shes a pokemon of a depo agent.

As for Ingo getting dragged into petty pokemon world i think after a while of them finding out how strong he got they come to him for help. Only at the station. Maybe once word gets around that hes THE subway boss Ingo they come to him with their problems.

List 5 things that make you happy, then put this in the askbox for the last 10 people who reblogged something from you! get to know your mutuals and followers ♡

Alright, let's do this

My cats, that one is obvious, I'll miss them a lot when I move out

Dnd, streams online and playing it with my friends has done a lot for my life and my friendships

My friends in general, my best friend is amazing and I cannot imagine my life without her

Okay 5 is a lot, cosplay can go on here too, I have improved so much already and I get a lot of satisfaction from the results as well

Gaming, writing when I can put my mind to it, reading fanfiction or books, those are also some things that I like to do. Not necessarily the same as making me happy but sometimes I guess

This is a very big question and I am not sure if I have answered it correctly. I'll probably think about other things later today and at night.

[gubsbuubs]

I started it but I’ve been really caught with work 😩😭 but as soon as I get some time I will finish it

The last we talked about Final Fantasy XVI, you'd just seen someone get punched by a certain someone. Are you any further now? Like, have you seen the ending of the game? And if you have... I guess the developers of Final Fantasy XVI have said that this game has so much lore, they could make a sequel with it, which is most definitely true. LOL. Who knows if they'll ever actually do that (if so, it'll be very far off), but if they do, what do you think it'll tell? What would you want it to do?

I have indeed seen the end of it by now! To be honest, I kind of have mixed feelings on the plot of the game as a whole. Love the characters, Clive especially is now one of my favorite Final Fantasy protagonists, but I can't help but feel that the game is a little disjointed in spots. They advertised it as the story of Clive's life spanning three eras, but those three eras don't have equal weight and end up coming across as Prologue #1, Prologue #2, and The Actual Game if that makes sense given that you've actually played the game and I've only seen other people play it. And, honestly, when I think back on it, I kind of liked what Prologue #2 with Clive in his late 20s was putting forward the best out of all three sections

I liked the darker and more personal angle that they were putting down, with a story about a man whose latent powers went berserk and he ended up hurting someone close to him, desperate for revenge without realizing that the one he wants revenge against is himself. But then it feels like they resolve that angle very fast and everything after that is a very classic "god is evil kill god" Final Fantasy plot. It's a well-done version of that plot to be sure, and I can really respect how well they tried to capture the feeling of old-school Final Fantasy games, but given how much of the marketing was about this game being darker and more mature, to me it felt like the themes got almost less mature as it went on, going from personal grief, this desperation to rebuild, the price of revenge, etc. to a more generic "free will good" story

Spoilers from here on out

That said, the developers are correct that there's so much lore, and to me that's the best part of the game. I've always found stories that heavily feature elemental-themed areas a lot of fun, like Avatar: The Last Airbender or One Last God: Kubera, so this game giving each summon a specific element and, for the most part, keeping it one summon/element per faction was really interesting to see brought to light. I think the fact that they touched on different factions viewing their Dominants differently was a good start, I just wanted to see a bit more of it on-screen because again, like I said, they started doing that at the beginning, but then it kind of got completely overwhelmed by the "Ultima wants Clive to have all of the Dominant powers" stuff and then never bothered to really look back at how the people felt about losing their nation's Dominants (also they way that they handled Clive taking the powers was kinda weird? Like, Dion carries on just fine and can still transform but Jill gets benched? What?)

Ahhhhhh I just... I almost wish that Ultima had just been an interesting background element and that the game as a whole had focused more on the infighting between the nations and Dominants and Bearers, rather than the other way around. I just found Ultima so generic and uninteresting, and that the game focused too much on making Clive this Super Awesome Chosen One because of it, when I found he was at his best when he was just a kind, awkward man struggling with this unprecedented power he was stuck with and the trauma it brought him

Because to be honest, at the start of the game I wondered if, maybe, what was happening was that they were gonna pull some classic Final Fantasy Dark World stuff and have it be that every Eikon had a dark counterpart. So Ifrit would be the Dark Eikon of Fire to Phoenix's Light Eikon of Fire and they could have used other classic FF summons as the Dark Eikons, like Garuda vs. Sylph. And the Light Eikons could bless people with their power like how Clive had the blessing of the Phoenix, while the Dark Eikons could steal powers. But, no, it's just Ifrit being Super Special and everything. Also... why... was Joshua the only one who could seemingly bless others with his power? Dion couldn't give Terrence a Blessing of Bahamut or anything and give him some light powers? Jill had to let Clive absorb her Shiva powers rather than blessing him with them becauuuuuuse...? And, man, it could've been so interesting if they had a sideplot on Anabella trying to force all of the Dominants to bless Olivier to match Clive or something. Or maybe not even a sideplot, that sounds like I would've liked it way more than the Ultima stuff because of how much more personal it has the potential to be and the game could've been a race to take the power of each Dominant before Olivier could get their blessings. Olivier was so underutilized

As for the lore, I think they do a really good job fleshing out Bearers, so really if they had more to look into, it would be the unanswered questions. Like, we know that Valisthea is only one continent on this world (Cid isn't originally from there, and IIRC neither was Barnabas's family), so what are the others like? Where is Leviathan? Are the theories that the Medicine Girl was Leviathan's Dominant, just not yet awakened, true? (Also, if Ultima needed Clive to have all of the other Eikon's powers, why were we even allowed to skip Leviathan? Shouldn't we have had to track them down? Why did they end up lost?) If the truth is that Ultima's people descended from another world and created humanity, then where did the idea of the Goddess Greagor come from? And what about the legend surrounding the star, Metia? Is Metia magical or is it just a cute legend thing?

Hmmm. If they ever did more with FFXVI, it would have to be a prequel, wouldn't it? Because I think where it left off was exactly where it should have, with some hope for the future and the world moving on, bittersweet with all of the losses that it took to get there but worth it all the same. (I know that there's a lot of theories about who "Joshua Rosfield" is in the end, and I actually prefer that it's ambiguous. Whether you think Clive succeeded in bringing Joshua back at the cost of his own life, or that Clive took Joshua's name which is the one that I think has the most in-game hints to it, or even if you want to think of a third option like one I've seen where Clive survived, but the "Joshua Rosfield" in question is actually his and Jill's son named in Joshua's honor, sacrifices were made and hope remains)

So I think the route with the most potential might end up being a Cid-centric prequel about what life on other continents is like. And I would never complain about more Cid, especially in regards to how he was chosen by Ramuh and what about how things are on other continents is that made him so averse to how Valisthea does things. I think that Cid is really something special due to his status as an outsider looking in on Storm and Ash and how his different perspective compared to everyone there is such a catalyst for what happens in the plot and it's a real shame that most of what we get of Cid is posthumous. So if FFXVI was to get its own sub-series, that's where I'd take it
