#ok where was i

The people we played with really liked doing puzzles, but no one could ever figure out any of their puzzles because nobody could ever think the way they did. The clues and puzzles made no sense, unless you thought the way they did and had the same mental cues about concepts that they did, and if you don't, then the clues were meaningless

Paraphrasing slightly, BSG go into the issue they had with the 'World Loops mystery', the way Daymon describes it is on point and got me thinking-

Just like a few of Ouma’s comments - particularly ‘everything is connected’ and ‘infinite possibilities for lies’ - this rings true for the academy’s mystery as well as the loop issue in the Virtual World, though in different ways- in the loop case it's about the player being too ahead of the game's roundabout logic on one... absurdly simple concept, but in the case of the game's overall mystery (that it wants you to interpret for yourself), it's about the game's logic and concepts being so roundabout to the point that it causes the whole scenario to... break

In both cases, it doesn't click why the game would be meandering on one odd thing or another when you've already internalised what your answer is, thus bits and pieces of evidence hold no real meaning to you even if there is a logical pattern to them appearing that way. Though you can come up with an answer to how that logic happened- for example the reason why characters were complicating the issue of the Virtual World to themselves is because they’re instinctively trying to translate their real-world experiences and senses to a computer game. They’re doing it this way because they were primed to do so

That of course is why Ouma bashes out the ‘throw out your common sense’ line when Kaito objects to the loop idea- he noticed that Kaito was trying to bring ‘real world sense’ to ‘computer game sense’. It’s not that computer game logic by itself isn’t common sense, it just isn’t the characters’ lived common sense, which is why it doesn’t register at first. It’s worth noting that Ouma says a similar ‘common sense’ line regarding an organisation to Kaede, so if the game’s convoluted mystery had something to do with that, you have the issue of ‘priming’ all over again- because it’s nonsense unless you have an idea of what to connect the organisation to, as well as the hows and whys (for instance, if the organisation actually is TDR, and why it’s masquerading as a game show)

I think we should bring back that thing everyone did in 2014 where you badly photoshop two characters from entirely different media together to look like they’re in love. This is my proposal for doc ock x glados please consider

love seeing the beginnings of perseus "pay your fucking child support" jackson's crusade against the gods' parental negligence problem in ep 1 & 2 of the pjo show. the absolute KING of "my daddy gave me issues so HE'S about to HAVE issues"

I have some questions about karaoke night, Alex Hirsch. Very Important Questions. Which I will happily scream at a poor hapless baby triangle who can have no answers for me, and possibly also does not have object permanence yet.

Follow-up that is I guess suggestive, but let's be real here, Bill's a fucking triangle:

Dude slipped right into his birthday suit, lmao

this is so stupid :D

Anyway, I don't care what anyone says, this brilliant individual knows what's up - Bill is absolutely way more of a monsterfucker than Ford could or ever will be, full stop.

As much as i love Dungeon Meshi, i do think that given Ryoko Kui's attention to realistic worldbuilding there ought to be a companion series called Dishes Meshi where they spend 2hrs washing and drying and packing away. Alll the goddamnfuck dishes they just made

Mr. Riordan, it is truly a pleasure getting to experience your second draft.

something something katsuki can't keep his hands off you when he's had a little too much to drink (see: denks the worst at-home bartender in the world, believes a shot of vodka really means four).

it starts off innocently enough, gathered in eijiro's living room, when he cracks a foul-mouthed joke and you double over into side with laughter. the heat starts to creep up his neck, but it's easy to blame it on the alcohol. he nudges you back playfully, a grin quirking at the corner of his lips.

two more shots of whatever vile concoction denki mixed up and he's melting into the couch. he's sitting on one end, a little squished with how mina, eijiro, hanta, and denki are piled on top of each other - chatting away, drinking, and desperately trying not to make eye contact with the wasted blond. katsuki's got you perched all pretty in his lap because "there isn't any room left to sit." a convenient excuse.

you're flushed and trying to keep up with mina's story and you're having a great time with your friends but katsuki's hands are looping casually around your waist and pulling you closer to him and he's leaning a little on you for support and you feel a zing speed down your spine as his lips brush against your arm. an accident.

his head's a little fuzzy, but katsuki's practically melting with the alcohol swimming through his veins. and you're so soft it's making everything even fuzzier. before he even finishes that thought he's testing out the plush of your waist, your thighs, pinching a little at the small of your back, and back down to your thighs. you squirm in his hold, and he retaliates with a soft grunt and by biting what he could reach.

the spit on your arm is more uncomfortable than the rather tame bite he gives you. you can see his eyes wobble, flitting to different parts of your face. "hol' s'till," he garbles and your heart leaps into your throat. you can feel four sets of eyes boring into you both, but you can't break away from katsuki's heavy, lidded, lovesick gaze.
