Everyone was talking about how magenta isn’t real and our brains made it up, but can you imagine how COOL that would be if we encountered aliens who can’t see magenta? And THEY are confused because we keep talking about some mystery color???
Human: (points) That’s magenta.
Alien: Ah, see, we call that chauveltine.
Human: (points at another) And that’s a kind of dark magenta.
Alien: That’s… that jgorgilo… it’s a completely different color—
Human: And THAT one is HOT magenta—
Alien: ???????
Or EVEN BETTER, we humans are able to identify the aliens immediately because they can’t quite get their disguises right, they get something red a LITTLE off and the humans are like, “Oh hey another one, you’re looking very magenta today,” and the alien scientists are just BAFFLED

31423- March Wind-
It is windy. I do not like this kind of wind- it's loud and angry. I got up early and went to the gym- how early do i have to go to not see ANYONE?? by 5 the place was starting to get crowded. i'm talking to diabetes guy. i've been listening to youtube videos about relationships and dating. so from what i have heard so far i should be dating as many people as i can. it's good practice. God knows i need it. The goal is to have as many positive dating experiences as possible. the last one was positive. i'll see what happens. today i realized i have a lot of responsibility at work. I'm basically taking care of 6 people. plus taking customer calls and answering questions and for someone- ME- who wants NO responsibility I sure do have a lot. People look at me for answers. WHAT- Maybe i'm still getting use to it. I don't know. so many emails- and just a lot. I do have support. Not always as fast as i want it- Pam has been more than helpful. Today i had to do report cards- next is commissions- I have to make an action plan for myself- a goal. I want to be more organized. But yeah- how this happen? Maybe this will lead to something I enjoy doing a little more? Anything is possible. I feel like a fraud at times- because i really don't care about "our" customers. The ones I talk to are assholes- Sorry you didn't pay your bill and your out of oil- yes please scream at me some more for something you did. Please by all means call your fucking lawyer- you can't pay our bill but you can hire a lawyer. I emailed my lawyer- he is making me a will- i leave everything to Mads- she can do what she wants with my things. I am also getting my name changed. it's going to be weird changing my name- the best part is he told me no charge-
My friend Meredith came to work today. He dog got in trouble for biting her daughter- she was telling me bits and pieces of what happened and it sounded very traumatic- again not one mention of her husband Trevor..
I'm exhausted. I remember when my kids were little. I would take them outside in fresh air and it would tire them out. That's how i feel tonight- tired from being out in wind.
i read on reddit- hahahaha- i don't know how anyone would really know this but i have thought it before- when taking psychedelic drugs your not hearing anything that isnt already there. sounds are enhanced- so are colors.. but i swear i'm not hearing anything that isnt already there- same with what i was seeing-everything was fractals- i'm not scientist but i think everything is made up of fractals.. i found it interesting that someone was saying what i have always thought. obviously this would not apply to every trip- i think mainly mushrooms- acid is a whole nother entity- no way to prove any of it. i have about an 8th of mushies and 1/2 a chocolate bar i plan on taking together. i have to be at the park- tripping in bed is just stupid- right this minute i don't feel depressed. i honestly think it i would have gone on meds i probably could have stayed married. not that i think that's what i should have done- i went on prozac and remember it made me feel like a zombie. i don't remember how long i was on it for but i do remember coming off of it was hard. some people take them and are ok. for some reason i have never wanted to go that route-i'll only take drugs if they get me high. it's true. someone said to me today this time of year is hard for everyone. That's probably not true. I do have moments of happiness- lots of moments of happiness-there just seems to be this undercurrent of sadness that is always there. Today i did everything i could to make myself happy- and it worked. it's a balancing act-

danny phantom episode 4-7 Thoughts: (under a readmore because, these got kinda long!)
-the outfit danny had to buy for dash's party. CLASSIC 2000S i cannot stop laughing. And also showing up to the party and everyone is dressed like the trio is hilarious. and further proof that everyone looks good dressed goth.
-dash has a closet full of cute lil bear plushies?? LOVE that. adorable. also his response to danny trashing his room fighting a ghost was SO valid if somone BROKE MY BED IN HALF ID BE PISSED TOO.
-technus being like 'oh smart, u should be a tutor!' then later being like 'forget tutor, be a teacher!' :) supportive king <3 I also really like his upgraded suit/design. AND SPOCK CAMEO??? HELLO??
-the music in this show is super. its so funky. I looked it up and the guy who does it, guy moon (awesome name) also did music for other cartoons like fairly odd parents, barnyard, chalkzone, billy & mandy, AND some actual movies like FIGHT CLUB??? the whiplash I got from reading that)
-sam being rich explains a lot about her, actually.
-I know the moral of the episode was supposed to be 'dont ditch your friends for popular people/spend a lot of money on clothes that arent You to Fit In'. but tbh. it wouldve been easy for danny to have been like 'well, okay, ill come but only if my friends can!' but I get. that hes 14. so. not a lot to say there.
-BOX GHOST IS BACK!!!!! also, danny sitting up and wearing the dress/wig/makeup. umm thats how I dress everyday LMFAO. unironically me. (hate the jokes that boil down to 'haha funney man in dress' tho. but this is a look)
Tumblr media
-jazz being protective of her brother once again being like NOOO YOU GUYS BETTER NOT STAKE OUT HIS (actually haunted) LOCKER!! shes aware of how people perceive him and she wants to help :( which is also probably why she told dash to invite him to that party even tho she had no interest in going!! she wants to help him out :(
-gotta say im with tucker on the whole 'should danny use his powers to get back at bullies' debate. 100% yes. let him teach kids to fight back. making dash throw his food at paulina out of the blue? no. but when hes actually about to pick on someone? yeah! for self defense? YEAH! if dash and his friends just threw food at him, I think rather than. idk doing sneaky shit with frogs he couldve just threw it back and not pulled punches if they tried to fight. I kNOOWWW its a kids show so they are like 'if u fight back ur just as bad!! violence bad!!' but. theyre HIS POWERS. WHO CARES.
-like my only gripe is that dash really isnt LEARNING ANYTHING WHEN DANNY GETS BACK AT HIM IN THE MOST PETTY INDIRECT WAYS. whatever they had to add a bully psa episode I guess. I hate it and I hate the way cartoons usually handle it because these methods simply Do Not Work. 'aND YouRE USinG YOur poWErs FOR EVill???!' this is Not Evil. even when poindexter takes dannys body, theyre only being 'nice' bc hes stealing soda for them!! bitches deserve what they get (nothing too brutal bc theyre high schoolers but damn, if they pick on danny he doesnt need to be the 'bigger person' he needs to start biting people)
-SAM TRYING TO SMUGGLE FROGS OUT OF THE BIO LAB?? girl in middle school when we had to dissect frogs we could opt out, also, they came to us already dead and preserved...
-sidney's lingo and the fact hes in black and white is sending me. also, danny is a ghost celebrity apparently for being a halfa?? ok. thats interesting to know
-the DENTIST BEING EXCITED ABOUT THE COTTON CANDY FLOOD IS THE FUNNIEST THING SO FAR.
-I LOOOVE the trope of 'wishes gone wrong'. not crazy about the stereotypical genie, or the use of the dreamcatcher looking design. (also, I KNOW theyre scientists but the way theyre handling a cold...are the fentons ANTIVAX)
-the genie. she. whitewished paulina. JKASDFHKJ. (the ghost literally just being hello kitty???? im dying) 'why do i feel that im special and wonderful? because I AM! <3' paulina ilu self worth queen. felt bad for her also getting possessed by (2) boys later who were arguing INSIDE HER. WTF.
-imagine being the guy trapped in his now flying car. he thought danny and tucker were HALUCINATIONS. imagine being trapped in a flying car with two, what you think are imaginary arguing 14 year olds convinced ur gonna die. i WOULD say this dude is gonna need so much therapy, but he seemed totally fine and excited when they landed (I would be happy too if a chicken was on my head. chickens rule) stoner rights
-sam's bat slippers??? iconic. SO cute.
-I think desiree's backstory is so :( do all ghosts have messed up sad backstories?? poindexter's was sad too...cannot imagine box ghost has any kind of fucked up backstory. but what if. his mom got pushed off cliffs by boxes...........a la cruella... anyway her 'no man may lay a hand on me' iconic. ilu
-I know danny has no concept of how much bras cost but my god dont attack tucker with some girls bra. those are so expensive.
-its really. well its not a GOOD THING he went into the portal and got fucked up, but its good danny was the one to do it rather than sam or tucker. because even tho he was being influenced by desiree and kept getting more malicious and it prob wasnt 100% him...he sucked as a ghost like most the people he 'pranked' were innocent ppl just Chillin and he didnt want to help anyone at all. I think danny is the most responsible out of them but also, hes 14 and shouldnt HAVE to feel obligated to fight every ghost. hes a good kid and wants to, but I also feel like he feels like...responsible for the portal turning on?? because his parents did give it up,, but it was an accident and not his fault (if anything, why was the on switch on the inside. why was it that easy. why was there no safety measures. that seems like smth OSHA needs to hear about). like thats my son. hes a good boy. and hes never done anything wrong in his life, ever. if anyone hurts him im killing everyone in this room and then myself. etc.
-danny's curfew is 10PM????? DUDE. when I was 14...shit I couldn't be out that late, I had to be back at like, 8 at the latest, and my parents had to know exactly where and who I was going with, AND i had to call/text them regularly...is this a case of my parents being overbearing, or the fentons sucking??? the only time i could EVER be out that late was if I was at an overnight sleepover or smth...
-the vultures have lil fezes. why do they have fezes...theyre so fuckin funny 'ask him for directions' 'I KNOW WHERE IM GOING' these ghost vultures are my new grandpas. pick them up, put them in the adopt box.
-'I wonder why those guys were trying to waste dad!' THEYRE GHOSTS. YOUR DAD HUNTS GHOSTS. why is that not a conclusion you'd immediately jump to??
-*jazz voice, clearly disgusted* WISCONSIN???
-mrs fenton with the lab coat and leg warmers and PERM. YESSS STYLISH.
-was going to say 'ew billionaire' @vlad but. super valid he used his powers to assumedly steal and cheat to get that money, thats how all billionaires do it! but ew hes a SIMP. and spending your billions on FOOTBALL STUFF?? you are Not Valid overall. I DO respect the fact you have a castle instead of a mansion. in wisconsin. if youre going to be stupidly rich might as well go all out, torches on the wall and all. I DO like his ghost form's little kitty ears. catman. and his cape! every design can benefit from a cape. and how different his forms look, like danny looks the EXACT SAME IN BOTH FORMS ASIDE FROM COLOR CHANGES. vlad's is like,, I could believe they were different people!! also I love the drama. but dude you are fighting a 14 year old. lame. also he was like, telling danny he wanted his mom and him and like, wanted him to renounce his dad?? WHAT ABOUT JAZZ?? bitch. those r MY kids and they are both important and special. I do agree they need better parents but thats not u sir <3
-I thought vlad's 'little badger' nickname for danny came from the football mascot of the packers, but google says they have NO MASCOT?? so now I'm like?? is it because his hair is sometimes black and sometimes white?? I hate to give him props but thats a PERFECT NICKNAME. theyre also tiny and vicious!
Tumblr media
-why did I get so excited that Skulker is back!! its been like. 2-3 eps LMAO. AND THE DAIRY KING. ICONIC I LOVE HIM. hes the nicest guy ever :) more nice ghosts please. danny cannot be fighting alone everytime with no ghost buds like every ghost being hostile sucks :(
-mr. fenton knew vlad was controlling him, but a few episodes ago he had no clue danny was doing the same thing...is it something about how malicious the ghost is?? he just seemed to think his memory had gaps the first time, this time he was INSTANTLY LIKE 'GHOST'. then again in this ep when danny did it again he was just slightly confused but not immediately freaking out like he did with vlad possessing him!!
-'my parents will accept ME NO MATTER WHAT' so. so why haven't you come out to them yet, danny?? if you really think that?? if theres no harm, and you're sure??? if vlad is a real problem, wouldnt that make dealing with him easier, to expose him???? SO WHY HAVENT YOU COME OUT YET?? COULD IT BE,, MAYBE YOU HAVE DOUBTS ABOUT WHETHER YOUR PARENTS ACTUALLY WILL ACCEPT YOU??? 🤔 ... 🏳‍🌈 I get why people say He Is Trans. I totally totally get u danny.
-sorta unrelated, but it just occurred to me in one of these eps they go to casper HIGH not casper middle school??? theyre 14?? dont highschools usually do ages 15-18? (I didnt go to hs so I might be wrong, if I am ignore this...) freshmen are usually 14-15, could just be a case of them not turning 15 yet but they will sometime in the school year (I say they because tucker said he was 14 too)? I know the show has 3 seasons, so by the end of it will they be older? thatd be neat but usually cartoon characters stay the same age...I love shows where you can see the characters age and grow up, though...three seasons seems like a long time to spend on like, 1 year...

Hey man if it isnt to much of a bother to you, can you write about aliens and paintball? Cus i really havent seen or read anything on the lines of that soooo, yeah… thanks if you write it!
-the-2nd-random-kid
Of course I wouldn’t mind, and it is of no bother! Also, this is a bit of a longer one. Hope you enjoy it!
The colony on planet No. 237 was founded by humans. Of course, this single fact about it was why so many people were interested in it. It was relatively new, and needed supplies. Naturally, Captain Zellnor jumped at the chance to travel to it, delivering the supplies. Xylion was slightly nervous, knowing how hostile new humans can be to aliens. However, Captain Zellnor was adamant about the kindness of colonies. 
“They wouldn’t be accepted by the USL if they weren’t.” Captain Zellnor lamented for what was at least the fourth time. However, Xylion was still unconvinced.
“Yes, but what if they are simply playing? Even Human Fredrick has been voicing his worries, and he’s undoubtedly the smart one of the group!”
“Xylion, he was talking about his home world, Earth.”
“Yes, but there are humans in both places!”
Captain Zellnor stopped walking and turned to Xylion. “Honestly, I’m surprised you’re the one who’s hesitant about travelling, what with you having a crush on Jenny.”
Xylion immediately felt mucus drip down his hands and face. “Wha- you- I- wait- uh-”
Captain Zellnor let out a hoarse chuckle before turning away. “Prepare for landing, Xylion.”
Xylion could only stare at his captain’s back, his mouth hung open as he watched Captain Zellnor’s scales mix into a light pink similar to a liquid Human  Jenny applied to her lips. Xylion took a second to collect himself before walking off. It was best he prepare the crewmembers. 
Xylion blinked as he looked at the very short man. He was at least three feet tall, and simply eyed Xylion with a look of confusion and anger. At first Xylion assumed him a child, but after close examination he did have older features, but was not tall, unlike the other humans. Human Quinn looked tall compared to him, and she was very short. 
Next to the shorter guy was one that was close in size to Human Mason. He also had the same skin tone, whereas the shorter human had a skin tone a bit lighter than Human Isaac’s. 
Human Jenny stood in front of them. She was smiling her brightest smile as she looked at them each. A few silent moments passed before Human Jenny suddenly let out a really loud cry and threw her arms around both of them as best she could. The size difference clearly made it difficult. Xylion immediately begin to worry for her safety. A sound like that couldn’t be healthy! However, no one else seemed concerned.
“Jenny! How nice it is to see you again!” One of them said, their voice sounding much stranger than anything Xylion had heard before.
The shorter man nodded. “It has been too long, Mishka.” His voice sounded strange too…
Human Jenny smiled as she pulled back. “I have missed you guys!”
Xylion shuffled slightly as Human Jenny looked back at them. “Let me introduce you guys. These are two of my friends from the academy, Saah,” she gestured at the taller man, “and Andrei.“ She finished, gesturing at the shorter man.
Human Saah smiled and waved. “Hello.” 
Human Fredrick furrowed his brow. “My apologies if this is offensive or whatever, but are you perhaps from Africa? Your accent seems to hint that you are..”
Human Saah smiled, revealing a row of pearly white teeth. “I am from Africa, sir. Liberia, specifically. And you are not being offensive. I take pride in where I am from.”
That seemed to calm Human Fredrick. Human Andrei threw a hand up. He said some strange word that Xylion was unable to understand.
Xylion blinked. Human Isaac, however, suddenly lit up. “Russian, right?”
Human Andrei grinned. “That is right. I am from Russia.”
Human Isaac made a fist and quickly pulled it down, letting out a quick ‘yes’ as he did so. Xylion frowned. What a strange gesture. He began trying to imitate it.
Human Jenny’s eyes suddenly lit up. “I forgot to introduce my crew! Uh, this is Fredrick, he’s the scientist. This is Isaac, our mechanic, Mason, our bodyguard and Alientologist, and lastly Quinn, our doctor slash nurse. That’s it for the humans, but here’s the aliens. This is Captain Zellnor, our captain. Sil’keen, our assistant. She helps out everywhere. Dattalion is our doctor on board, Grudge is our head mechanic and engineer, Tilorian here is our trainee who mainly sweeps and cleans the ship, and last but not least is Micheele, who is on the ship. She’s our chef. I think that covers just about everyone.”
“You forgot me, Human Jenny.” Xylion whispered, already feeling the mucus beginning to build.
Human Jenny looked at him, her face flushed red. “And, uh, Xylion, the second-in-command. Sorry Xylion, I didn’t mean to forget you.”
Xylion tried to calm his nerves. “It’s okay, Human Jenny.”
Human Jenny nodded, her face returning to its normal color. Human Saah smiled. “We figured you would like to engage in an activity while you’re here?”
Xylion felt his mucus begin to secrete. What could that-
“If you’re asking to have a mass orgy then I am totally not in on that. I’m taken, sir, but to each their own.” Human Isaac said, waving his hand from side-to-side.
Xylion looked at Human Jenny. “What is an ‘orgy’?”
Human Jenny stared at Human Isaac, her mouth open. Human Isaac turned to Xylion. “It’s when a bunch of people get together and-”
“Isaac, I am not referring to a mass orgy, as you assumed.” Human Saah cut in, still smiling. “I was thinking something a bit more…violent.” His normally calm expression suddenly morphed into a twisted grin, and he chuckled lowly. 
Xylion glanced at Human Jenny. “Human Jenny, what is he talking about?”
Human Andrei grinned, puffing out his chest. “Paintball!”
Xylion blinked. “What?”
Human Fredrick tightened the strap around Xylion. Xylion huffed as his breath was stolen from him. “Too tight.” He choked out. Human Fredrick apologized before loosening it slightly. He then stepped back, nodding. 
“You’re all set, Xylion. Now, you just need your gun.”
“Gun? Are we going to kill each other?” Xylion asked, mucus beginning to secrete. He couldn’t possibly hurt them, thy were his friends! Maybe he could injure Human Saah and Human Andrei as he had not had as much contact with them as he had with the rest of his crew, but harming those of them on the opposing team? He could never hurt them.
Especially Human Jenny.
Xylion watched as Human Fredrick handed him a gun of sorts. “Okay, this works like any normal gun. You pull the trigger, you shoot. Simple as that. Now, it doesn’t fire real bullets.” Xylion let out a sigh of relief at that. “Instead, it shoots out little pellets of paint that explode upon contact. Here, let me show you.”
Human Fredrick aimed at the wall before pulling the trigger. Xylion watched as a blotch of paint covered the wall. It was a bright yellow. Human Fredrick turned to him. “When you get hit, it might hurt a bit, but that’s why we have you in all this gear. Now, if you get hit by their colors, which are either green or red, then you’re out. We have yellow and blue. Do you need a refresher on who’s where?”
“Yes, please.” Xylion was so nervous he had pretty much forgotten who was on which side. He could only remember one person on the other team, and that was Human Jenny.
“Okay, on our side, we have Andrei, our captain. Then we have you and me, along with Quinn, Dattalion, and Grudge. On their side they have Micheele, Zellnor, Jenny, Isaac, Saah, and Sil’keen. Jenny is their captain. Anything else?”
“No, I- I think I’m good.”
“Okay. Andrei wants us to talk strategy in a second, so just compose yourself if need be and he’ll call us over in a bit.” Human Fredrick patted Xylion on the back before walking away. As if that was helpful in anyway shape or form.
Xylion looked down at the gun in his tentacles. Why would humans create a simulated battle game where injury was so prevalent they had to have something covering almost every inch of their body? It was no wonder Human Mason was sitting this out. Xylion had almost forgotten about the PTSD issue he had, and as soon as the name was dropped, Human mason dropped out. No one fought him, they were just concerned about the uneven number that was no present. Tilorian quickly backed out.
Xylion didn’t know much about the young Trasvonian. Trasvonians were a very secretive species, and looking a lot like humans made them weary. Xylion was surprised he even stuck around them. They called them the light versions of themselves, as most Transvonians had dark bluish-purplish skin with pitch black eyes, black hair and pointed ears. Human Isaac had called them Dark Elves upon seeing Tylerian, which the trainee did not enjoy. Xylion hadn’t learned much of his past either. All he knew was he was fairly young and wasn’t in the mood to participate in much of anything. He just did his work and that was it. 
Xylion was suddenly pulled out of his thoughts by a loud cry in that same strange language- Russian, was it? -signaling that Human Andrei was calling a meeting. Xylion shook his head before quickly scampering over to his teammates. 
After getting to his teammates, the group all looked towards Human Andrei. Human Andrei wrung his hands together, his gun strapped behind his back. “Okay, here’s our plan. I’ve been checking you all out to see what you would best be suited for doing. Fredrick, you’re a fighter, right?”
“I have many scars that suggest that.”
“Perfect. You’re our main line of offense. You go on and try to kill them, okay?”
“Yes sir.” Human Fredrick said, fake saluting him.
“Quinn and Dattalion, you both are doctors, right?”
“Technically she’s a nurse-”
“Yes, we both are.” Human Quinn said, cutting Dattalion off with a sharp glare.
“Right on! So you two are good at being precise, right?” He asked, raising his dark eyebrows.
Human Quinn nodded, glancing at Dattalion. “I’d say so, right?”
“Yep, definitely.”
“Snipers. Get to the high ground and snipe anyone trying to get around us or who is hiding that we can’t reach.”
“You got it.” Human Quinn said, looking at her partner.
“That leaves me, Grudge, and Xylion. We will back up Fredrick, while you, Xylion, will be our stealth movement.”
Did he just say stealth? Xylion was not a stealthy person. He could barely make it to the kitchen at night without bumping into about six things. “Uh, I don’t think-”
“We all got our assignments?”
“Yes!” Grudge cried, raising a wrench. Why he had that was beyond Xylion’s comprehension. Though, Grudge was something of an oddity.
Xylion looked back at the stout human. “Uh, Human Andrei-”
No one paid any heed to him as they all broke off, prepping for the incoming battle. Xylion let out a breath and shifted his arms slightly, tightening his grip on the weapon. It was almost time.
Xylion leaned against one of the walls, adjusting the communication device in his ear. As he did so, the crackling voice of Human Fredrick came through it. “Everyone in their positions?”
“Of course!” Grudge’s booming voice was almost too much for Xylion. The guy never had a quiet voice, but this was almost too much.
Why in all Kimonion’s name am I here? He thought, tightening his grip on his weapon. He didn’t want to do this. Why was he? 
As Xylion kept questioning the reason on why he agreed to do this, the sound of gunshots was heard. 
“We got one!” Dattalion said, his voice crackling through. 
“I think it was Sil’keen.” Human Quinn elaborated. 
Suddenly, more gunshots rang out. A scream was heard through the comm. “Quinn? Dattalion?” Human Fredrick’s voice came through, but that was it. A few moments later, they finally answered.
“Dammit, we were found. Sorry, Andrei.” Human Quinn said, clearly annoyed. 
“How did Isaac know we were here?” Dattalion muttered.
Their comms cut out, signaling they were done. Xylion sighed as he started to move. He stayed out of sight, best he could. Xylion poked his head around a corner to see the offensive part of their team hiding. He watched Human Andrei make some strange hand signals before Grudge suddenly backed up, moving into a different area. 
Xylion looked to the area they were surrounding, and noticed slight movement in there. The team was in there? All of them, perhaps? He could definitely make out Captain Zellnor’s tail, and was that Micheele’s arms? He noticed Human Saah’s unmistakable vibrant red gun he had been sporting beforehand. If Xylion knew anything about stealth (which was very limited) then he would know to never have something too noticeable. 
Which begs the question- Why did Human Andrei choose him, the GREEN KILONIAN to be the stealth operative? Xylion shook his head. He’d never get over this. Besides Human Saah’s gun, he noticed Human Jenny’s long locks as well. This was almost their whole team. That only left Human Isaac…
Xylion looked around, trying to see him. He knew he had gotten the jump on Dattalion and Human Quinn, so perhaps…
Xylion’s attention was suddenly drawn to the top of the large tower. At the top, he could see him- Human Isaac. He was messing with a stereo of sorts, attaching it to his side. Xylion immediately pressed the button on his comm. 
“Guys, Human Isaac is-”
Suddenly, loud, blaring music sounded from where Human Isaac had been, and that’s when Xylion saw him leap off the tower. 
It was a strange song. It started off with a guitar riff, and then went into an “Ah” sort of sound, as if someone was calling out. Human Isaac mimicked the noise, shooting his gun down at the offensive group. 
Xylion watched in shock as Human Isaac managed to land a hit on Grudge, but was quickly covered by Human Fredrick and Human Andrei. Before Human Andrei had a chance to blink, he was covered in paint as those inside the tower shot him from behind their protective walls. Human Fredrick, realizing this, quickly rolled behind a cover, and readied himself. 
“Xylion, I’m gonna need you to run. I’m gonna go in, guns a blazing, but that’ll be my last move.”
“That’s a really, really stupid idea.”
“As stupid as Isaac jumping off a twenty foot tower while blasting the Immigrant Song?”
“You’ve got a point there, but Human Fredrick, I’m not very good at shooting things.”
“You’re great. Better than most humans I know. Better than Isaac too. He only hit one person.”
“To be fair he was in the air.”
“Let’s not fight about this. I have maybe a minute before they realize where I went, and you have a minute to find a better hiding spot. Now, run!”
Xylion didn’t fight him anymore as he ran. The terrain of the battlefield was pretty simple. The edges held mountains and potential caves. The middle was all flat land with circular walls with multiple entry points. The very center held the tower, which was perfect for a whole team to hide out in. Xylion’s best chance was to either hope Human Fredrick could clear most of those in the tower and then make his way around the map until he got into the tower, or hide out inside the caves, praying they won’t find him for a while. Neither sounded like good options.
As Xylion ran towards the edge, the sound of gunshots and screaming was heard. Xylion shook his head before making it to one of the cave entrances. Perhaps this cave could lead him to the other side of the area, which he could then jump the remaining people form behind. Xylion nodded, approving of this idea before running inside.
The cave system was immense. 
For something used purely for this reason, the builders really put a lot into the construction of this place.
Xytlion really thought that he was lost until he found a glowing, neon map of the cave system. After managing to finally get to the other side, he carefully made his way out. 
Now all alone, Xylion could only hope Human Fredric had taken out a good chunk of the team. Carefully, he began to make his way back to the tower. 
Xylion leaned against a wall, halfway there. He checked his gun, and carefully reloaded it, only dropping his ammo three times (a record). After reloading, Xylion looked up, only to be face to face with Human Jenny.
Xylion let out a very unmanly squeal and almost dropped his gun. “H-Human Jenny!”
Human Jenny smiled at him. “Hey, Xylion!”
He blinked. Why was she not shooting him. He opened his mouth, only for her to interject. “I figured that we should make a peace treaty. You know, we are the only two left, why not surrender together?”
This was sketchy. Xylion frowned. “How do I know I can trust you?”
Human Jenny grinned leaning up on the wall next to him. “Here, we’ll shake on it.”
Xylion looked down at her outstretched hand. He nodded before carefully grabbing her hand and shaking it. A few moments later, he was expecting to have let go of her hand, but they were still holding onto each others hands. Xylion looked up at her. “Human Jenny-”
Human Jenny’s face began to turn pink as she looked up at him. Xylion stared into her green eyes. They were much more beautiful up close. They resembled emeralds, almost. Xylion also noticed a tiny scar underneath her left eye. The freckles on her face were even more prominent and adorable up close. 
Xylion hadn’t even realized they had moved closer until their breaths began to mingle. Xylion’s eyes trailed down her face until they landed on her lips. She had some sort of substance on them, which might explain why they looked so glossy. He wondered what the gloss felt like. Was it slimy? Was it soft? His mind moved from the texture of the gloss to the texture of her lips. Were they soft? Maybe a little rough? Or were they just right? It was then that Xylion realized they were both leaning in even closer.
So close.
Impossibly closer.
And then-
A gunshot suddenly rang out and Xylion was hit into the wall. He fell over, shock filling his body. He felt some pain, but the armor on his body blocked out most of it. Xylion looked up into the sky before looking over to see who shot him. 
Human Saah stood there, smirking. He lifted up his bright red gun and kissed it. “Ol’ Rojo here never fails.” He said, grinning.
The sound of trumpets played. The game was over.
Xylion sat in the cafeteria, eating the food provided for them. He glanced up at everyone else around the table. 
“Man, that was some game!” Human Isaac shouted, shoving yet another ‘Mozzarella Stick’ into his mouth. 
Human Quinn shook her head. “I’m surprised you only have a sprained ankle. That was a really stupid stunt you pulled.”
“Yeah, but it looked fucking awesome!” Human Isaac cried, pumping a fist into the air.
Human Fredrick chuckled, shaking his head. “I’m still surprised I managed to get two of you. I thought I would’ve been shot instantly, but I got both Micheele and you, Captain Zellnor!”
“There’s no need to dwell on the past,” Captain Zellnor said, his scales beginning to take on a yellowish hue, “let’s instead focus on the present. How’s everyone’s dinner?”
A few people spoke, though Xylion turned back to his dinner. He was surprised no one had mentioned how he lost. It was embarrassing, really. Or did they not know? Perhaps that was the case. That would be the best case scenario. They didn’t have to know about how he almost-
No, don’t think about it.
As Xylion struggled with his inner thoughts, someone sat down next to him. He looked over and saw Human Jenny sitting there. She smiled up at him. “Hey.”
“H-hey” He managed to croak out.
Human Jenny smiled before she began to eat her food. Xylion looked back down at his food. As he took another bite, he felt something gently grab his tentacle. Xylion looked down and saw Human Jenny’s hand on top of it, gently rubbing it with her thumb. He looked up at her, only to see her talking with Human Andrei and Human Saah in front of them.
Xylion smiled down at her before gently wrapping his hand around hers. 
Maybe it wasn’t so embarrassing after all. 
WOAH.
It has been so long!
I’m sorry, I’ve been so busy with life and all the struggles that brings.
Anyways, I’ve finally finished typing this up. It’s taken FOREVER, but I finally finished it. I hope you guys enjoyed it!
Did you like the ending?
I do.
I think it’s quite great.
Anyways, I’m gonna try to write more, but we’ll see how long this lasts.
This Thursday, my state’s teachers are most likely gonna be doing a Walk-Out, so I’ll probably have a bit of time to do some writing, but we’ll see. 
Anyways, I hope you’ve all had a good life while I’ve been AFK and I’ll see you all later!
Adios!

OC Review: Keith Gatti
Review by: Mod Charle
Tumblr media
(continuing with the dating sim idea, although lookin it closely it fits better for a reverse harem… here’s the first dateable guy) human name: Keith Gatti
It does seem more like a reverse harem series than a dating sim. However, it is possible to make this into a dating sim by changing the backstories of each alien to have them appear around the same time.
real name: unknown,due to his language being incompatible with human languages
I do wonder, if this is the case, when in human form, is Keith able to communicate with Ida and others?
biological age: around 26-27 years old Height:  1.65 meters- somewhat taller (has two personas, but essentiallty they are the same)
If they are the same persona, I don’t feel the need to keep “two personas” in his bio. If they are the same, it is one persona.
Weight: HEAVY Body build: skinny/muscular
If he is very heavy, I would assume he is more big and muscular rather than skinny, like bodybuilders. Skinny doesn’t seem like it fits.
Voice: high pitched, soft, cute / rough, deep (closer to his true alien voice) dere type: Yandere. it will be explained why.
Yandere.... hmm.....
gifts from him: flowers, rollerskates… Approach level: VERY EASY
He kinda seems like a loving puppy lololol
chronological age: 5470 years old, but he spent time on earth (and the space (research) station ) only 40 years (dude, he travelled to earth, and didnt have faster than light time travel)
I am very confused on his age. His biological age is 26-27 years but there are 40 years, and 5470 years sprawled in this little section. How old is he? In alien years? In human years?
Species description: Keith’s species are some sort of gigantic amphibians, living in equally big aquatic enviroments, their skin is coloured accordingly to the “sand” and vegetation of the environment, having a stocky build to resist the changing pressure in land and underwater, and fins, to build resistance.
The species are also predators, but rather than chasing down the prey, they  just lure them using changing patterns on the skin and their visible veins to create a mesmerizing visage, and when the prey approaches, they hold it with their legs and commence eating them, first sucking their juices dry and then munching their dry bodies like a snack. besides obvious predator abilities, they can read feelings, and the reasons for those feelings, they just hold their claws onto the location of the heart of whoever they are reading and using their eyes to make them focus on the reader, its really simple, y'know-
I really like the species description and how each “amphibian-like” creature appears, but I am a little put off on how they lure their prey in. Generally, prey would only go near something if it looks like something familiar or safe. Therefore, I would have to recommend their skin and veins create different colors that resemble coral and such, although I do really like the idea! Also, you may need to go more in depth about how these creatures read feelings. Human emotions and alien emotions, I would imagine, are drastically different given they’re from different worlds. I suggest elaborating a little more on how they vary and how they are similar.
about keith: Keith is one excitable, cheerful boy, who’s really amazed by everything and might as well be a dog, loving to cuddle and nuzzle, however he has a cruel, jealous side, that he shows whenever someone outside the social circle he is in steps in and takes an interest to Ida,and uses their fear to his advantage, or manipulates them to do his biding.or else he would eat them, although he does it more on an impulsive whim,  Ida has no idea of this , thinking he is an uwu soft dumb marshmallow , and neither does Mabel, who would tell Ida inmediately, Caleb knows but shrugs it off, Drake is really angry at this because it might blow up their cover, and Xander just scolds him because eating people isnt nice, and because Ida might find out. yeah… (I know this only covered a few personality traits…sorry)
I think this is a good personality trait for Keith. He seems lovable but is easily jealous and vicious. This dating sim or harem would actually work out very well because Keith is a character that could easily get into the way of another character’s move on Ida.
while not much of his past is known other than him being the first of his batch to hatch, it is theorized that his jealous, manipulative, vengeful cruel persona is the real one , due to other members of his species cowering in fear in his presence, however, he IS genuinely cheerful around Ida and truly supports her and her dreams.he is also very optimistic in that he is going to be her one true love, despite all his jealousness
Keith has some major issues lmao
He still remembers the first time he met Ida, he was going to go crazy after years of isolation, the only contact he has had was with  scientists who just checked him up and left, but then came Ida, she was just cleaning up stuff, looking him and rambling about some things about travels and tourism, venting about her frustrations, he felt the urge of cheer her up, playing like a cat, humans like cats, however, maybe due to his size, she was more scared and angry , thus she searched for the nearest object which happened to be a metal bar that was used in case the door needed to be extra locked, and she knocked out two of his teeth with it.
Man, if I was looking for a man to be my significant other, I would search for one that would knock two of my teeth out with a metal bar on sight. But this is very reasonable. While it is cliche, if you were all alone and someone came to give you company, I bet something would start to blossom.
Keith understood perfectly she was ready to kill him in self defense if necessary, and she was about to start a ruckus (she does have anger issues, and her training was strictly cleaning related) , and she was going to get kicked out, thus, he was not going to see her again, he just calmly laid a claw on her, and looked her directly in the eyes, and found her frustrations and issues.
I think another reason why Keith might have the jealousness is because he was the first to meet Ida. You could maybe add in that these creatures have an “imprinting” thing going on that allows one to claim someone else as their significant other. This could work, but then again, all the other aliens are also going after Ida. Idk it’s just a thought.
Though he needed to talk to her and meet her outside of the job, the morphing device that was on a laboratory was perfect for creating his new persona, his human self, but he needed dna, which… wasnt hard to obtain, Ida’s suit was probably full of hairs, and whatnot, so he did what he had to do, take her suit and go away, it was a hard and painful process until he took a completely human form.
Dang that must hurt. However, I feel like using Ida’s DNA would make him look more like a girl. I would change this to Keith finding a way to obtain a male’s hair and then complete the transformation.
I think I explained in Ida’s profile what happened the next day…
Yes, yes you did.
Relationships:
with Ida:  he is completely infatuated with her, idolizing her, and admiring her, although this is not good, but once he starts respecting her as a human being and acknowledging her faults the ship can sail, if not, there’s suffering for both of them, he is taking steps, for example, he respects her space.
Overprotective but not pushy. Honestly Keith isn’t that bad of a dude.
With Mabel: Mabel is helping him woo Ida, although she isnt aware of his Yandere tendencies.
What a girl Mabel, yes. But I still think Ida and Mabel could be a route in this sim.
With Drake: they dont get along very well, because despite Drake being violent and bloodthirsty he doesnt sugarcoat it , they like to play toghether though…
If “play” means “trying to rip each others’ throats out”, yeah, I guess they love to play.
With Caleb : Caleb and Keith get along very well with each other, is not hard since both of them are very approachable.
Good boys.
With Xander: both are very jealous of Ida, although Xander fears keith, and keith fears xander as well, no reason
I feel like there should be a reason they fear each other. We generally know why Keith is feared, but Xander should have an underlying trait or secret that makes him extremely dangerous. Its always the sweet/quiet ones.
Trivia: *He adopted the manic pixie dream guy persona to cheer Ida up, he loves seeing her smile *According to Ida he weights like a horse, it might be hyperbole though. *His human form presents no glamour failure at first, but if very stressed he shows parts of his true form. *And mantaining his cute voice is difficult for him too *he is an amphibian and thus needs to be hydrated constantly, he carries a purse full of bottled water.
I honestly really like Keith a lot more now. He originally seemed too generic and likable, but he has flaws and I do want to learn more about the fear everyone seems to show around him. Don’t be afraid to send in your other characters, i would be happy to review them!
Tumblr media
Thanks for reading, and I hope this helps! (◕ ω ◕✿)

11 questions, though not technically
Tagged by @professional-kangaroo @seoulhite @wonpillily and @youngk-who to answer 11 questions, except this is technically 44, plus a bonus one from @wonpilimiri  just because I believe I have found a solution to your problem
Why is your bias wrecker your bias wrecker? I don’t know, I don’t actually know, there’s just something captivating about Dowoon, there are so many sides to him but then again isn’t this the same as the rest of Day6. I don’t think I can answer this XD
If someone else had to join day6 from any other band/group (doesn’t have to be korean) who would you pick to join them? This was legit so difficult because I was going through people like your voice wouldn’t fit in, or I couldn’t see you in the band. I would go for MB14 , I mean, he can make Brian’s trumpet noise, can reach super high notes , is amazing at beatboxing, and can is really good at animal impressions not that that was a qualifying factor. But if anyone can nail Bohemian Rhapsody, that’s talent
If you could have them perform a private concert just for you what would be your ideal setting? A warm summer’s night sat around a campfire on the beach, honestly that would be such a great setting, the sun setting in the background, sausages and marshmallows , the sound of the sea in the background…
Eating with Brian or English with Wonpil and Dowoon? Eating with Brian, why would I pass up on food XD
Who do you think would give the best hugs? Brian for sure
What’s one song you’re desperate for them to cover? The Scientist - Coldplay
Brian’s nose scrunches or Sungjin’s suggestive eyebrows? What kind of question is this??? Brian’s nose scrunches
Your fav pic?  I don’t actually have one
Can you imagine being friends with any of them irl? Maybe Brian or Sungjin? 
I Wait vs You Were Beautiful You were beautiful for sure
What band would you like to see cover one of day6′s songs and which song in particular? Coldplay, just knowing how happy they would be if Coldplay covered one of their songs. Maybe You Were Beautiful
10 minutes with your bias or one hour with the rest of day6 (your bias isnt there)? One hour with the rest of Day6
Do you like sports? Nope, except swimming
Are you looking forwards to valentines day if you celebrate? Nope, I spent it revising XD
How are you? No bad, not bad at all, thanks for asking 
What’s your favourite colour? Blue ^_^
What’s your favourite season? Why? Summer, because it’s nice to walk in the evening air when it’s still warm and light.
What’s your favourite song? At the moment: Animal - Alvaro Soler
Do you like bugs? Hmm, not really but I find them fascinating
What’s the best ice cream flavour? Mint choc chip?
Favourite album? JTW - Journey To The West - Khalil Fong
Do you feel cold at the moment? Nope, surprisingly 
 You either have to forget Day6 ever existed and can never re-discover them, or you know they exist but you can no longer listen to any of their music or watch their videos or anything. Which is it? Know they exist, because in that sense I would have had the opportunity to have enjoyed their music right? Even if it’s short lived I still had the opportunity to listen to good music
 What’s your favorite song that isn’t by Day6? This one again XD Hmm… Amen - Kasmir, Assenzio - J-AX & Fedez ft Stash and Levante, Cave Me In - Gallant, Tablo & Eric Nam, Nel Mezzo Di Un Applauso - Alessio Bernabei are up there at the the moment
How tall are you? Do you like your height?s 5′3″ (164 cm), Yes, I’m happy with it, but also I wouldn’t mind being like two inches taller or something, just to shorten the almost 30cm height gap between my younger brother and I
 What’s your Myers-Briggs type? ISFP-A (The Adventurer)
 Do you wear socks to sleep? No! What kind of monster do you think I am XD
 You can have a hug from Wonpil or a kiss from Brian. Choose one. Purely based on the fact that I think Wonpil would squeeze the life out of me, I’d go with Brian
 What is your least favorite season? Winter, because ice, I only slipped over once this year, so I think I did pretty well
 If you had to get married right now, who would it be? After much debate, and considering many options, I would marry a refugee in order to grant them safety and freedom in the UK
 What are your thoughts on yogurt? So I’m lactose intolerant, but screw that, I actually really like yoghurt (also do you not spell yoghurt with a ‘h’ :0 ). The apricot, raspberry and strawberry fromage frais that you had when you were a kid are so good. Although you can get the müller yoghurts which have the yoghurt in one section and like a fruit compote or chocolate balls or something to mix into the yoghurt in another. I have something against mixing them, I will just eat the yoghurt and the other thing separately. Apart from lemon curd, but even them I will never mix, but just eat them in the same spoonful. TMI?
 What’s your favorite thing about me (@wonpillily) 😏? You are very witty, inquisitive, intelligent and not afraid to stand up for what you believe in
 Describe yourself in a color. Blue - a calming, serious, reflective colour, but don’t underestimate it, it can also be exciting and surprising
How are you? :) Not too bad ^_^
 Who do you think dresses the best out of the 5? Sungjin?
 Would you rather sit down for a sweet latte with Sungjin or an americano with Wonpil? Considering I absolutely hate coffee, and a sweet latte sounds like it would taste the least like coffee, I’d go with a sweet latte with Sungjin
 What’s your favorite DAY6 song? Blood
 You get to spend one day with your bias. What would you do? Considering where I live, I’d spent the day at the beach (we have some of the best beaches in Europe), teaching them to surf as that would be really funny, even Brian can’t be good at that first time, and then of course the local ice cream. The vanilla ice cream cannot be beaten by any I swear and I will fight you on this and then just spend the evening watching the sun set around a campfire, roasting marshmallows
 What kind of song do you want DAY6 to release this year? (Soft, sweet, hardcore, etc.) A driving song (if that makes sense)
 Who do you think is DAY6′s visual? (you can only pick one) Damn it Brian
8. Dowoon singing “Sing Me” or Wonpil rapping “First Time”? Why is this so hard Wonpil rapping “First Time”
9. Brian’s trumpet or guitar playing? Guitar playing, for sure
10. Jae when he sings or raps? Sings
11. Sungjin’s duet on week 1 or week 2? Week 2
BONUS QUESTION
You’re going on a road trip with DAY6 but only five people can fit in the car. You have to leave one of the members behind. Who will it be? Why?  ‘Ohana means family, family means no one gets left behind or forgotten’. Ok, so why on earth are you going on a roadtrip in a five seater car, where is the room for all of the supplies and luggage, that’s a tad stupid, therefore ignoring this, there are two options, both of which are illegal. The first is to tie the sixth person to the roof, however this is very dangerous or you put the luggage in the roof and the person in the boot. BUT, there remains a legal and logical solution to this problem: two responsible people (Brian and Sungjin) drive to a nearby car hire and hire a larger car, Sungjin being the most responsible is left behind to sort out the paper work whilst Brian drives back to collect us. At this point, we technically go on the road trip, making our first stop at the car hire, where we trade our car in for the period of the road trip and pick up Sungjin and carry on our way.
