How did mother spore meet her lovely hubby?

@whatmoredoyouwangfromme

again, my eng aint that great so if there's any confusion, ask me and i'll clear it up as best as i can ^^;

---

so doc's a creeper and goat hybrid that is being kept alive by machinery. (why? idk yet lol. maybe bc he fought god or he exploded before idk)

He left his hometown in search of some place else to live in (why? again, the author is just incompetent at making up stories ><)

He set sail in a boat and ended up crashing into mother spore's island. Mother immediately sensed him and thought it was a HEP agent. He went to check out what happened only to find doc lamenting about his ruined ship. And mother is immediately intrigued.

he's never seen someone like doc before. A creeper and goat hybrid? the very idea is laughable to mother. But here doc stands, trying to salvage what was left of his ship.

Mother is even more intrigued of doc when it seems that her mycelium and fungus doesn't affect doc at all.

like i said, doc's half cyborg, so whatever machinery that's keeping him alive also disintegrates any bacteria- or in this case, mycelium spores from entering his system. Making him fully immune to mother spore's influence.

So, mother spore decided to play around with doc to test his abilities. She would make the mushrooms on her island shift and move around, confusing doc about his whereabouts (and also making sure doc doesn't get close to the mansion).

Then, she would send out her sporelings to play tricks with doc by placing traps. (the sporelings and mother would remain unseen by doc throughout all this)

but doc's a smart guy. Doc would stop trusting his surroundings and instead count his steps to determine where he is and make sure he doesnt get lost. He's also getting better at recognizing if there's a trap laid out for him and disarming them.

Mother would then get more and more frustrated by doc outsmarting him but at the same time very impressed by doc actually surviving and adapting on his island.

the sporelings would then get careless with making sure doc doesn't see them and one day, doc caught ren.

Doc saw ren wagging his tail while laying down traps and he picked ren up like a kitten, surprising both ren and mother. Mother was about to charge in and kill doc but stop bc doc just placed ren back down, letting him run away.

now, mother spore is even more curious about doc.

slowly, doc uncovered all the sporelings one by one.

and with every sporeling he caught, the closer to the mansion mother would allow him to get.

then one day, doc got to the mansion and mother spore is in front of it, waiting to give doc a final test.

Mother spore invites doc into the mansion for tea but doc politely declines, knowing the moment he set foot into the mansion, he would instantly become a dead man.

And mother spore was like "smart and polite. I like you." and let him leave the island scot-free.

But doc doesn't leave. Well, he would occasionally, to get supplies but he would always return to the island.

The sporelings would then get comfortable around doc and started to actually really like him and accept him as a part of their mushroom family.

mother and doc would also bond with each other and get really close. But each time mother invites him in for tea, doc would still decline.

until one day, when mother invites doc in for tea again, doc actually accepted.

Doc can't get infected by the mycelium, but mother made sure the food and drinks he gave doc that day weren't laced with mycelium anyways.

hades is such a fun game cuz it really throws the most baffling shit at you sometimes like i turned on the heat meter to 8 thinking all is gonna be well, i roll up to elysium arena only to be greeted with this obnoxious blonde twunk ready to not only raise my blood pressure again, but to commit warcrimes on me the likes of which would leave even Ares himself clutching his pearls with two machine guns from hell (this game is set in the greek underworld  circa 200 BC)

Remember that post where I mentioned that abandoned sim I had made well before I was jadedResearcher. The one where it was a murder mystery and dracula ruined it by glitching out and pissing infinitely?

I managed to get the art assets from Xexus and made a little send up for it. The glitch is definitely the point but I thought it was fun to do my best to remember what each character even was.

There's something just...really satisfying in repurposing these half forgotten creations into something... new. Almost like Kintsugi, but instead of trying to restore their original purpose, it's trying to look at what remains and truly see what new purpose it could have?

Tag nine (9) people you’d like to know better

last song: Came back from a festival some days ago and just realized I haven't listened to anything since! So, some sort of dance song/mix whose names I don't know by BLOND:ISH

currently watching: Started listening to TAZ: Ethersea in the podcast category. Also been binge watching Charborg/CHRBRG on youtube because I thought he had left youtube, turns out he just switched channels, so now I'm catching up ahah Hey pardon just remembered Puppet History is back on too!

currently reading: Whale Weekly (severely behind but I think I'll get on an audiobook to catch up), Dracula Daily, and "Tribuna Negra: Origens do Movimento Negro em Portugal (1911-1933)" by Cristina Roldão, José Augusto Pereira & Pedro Varela. Picked it up when I had some hours to kill in the city and it's a theme I'd like to know more about, have been really enjoying it, very informative. Not sure if it's how a book presentation works but I might be able to get it signed tomorrow?? maybe???

current obsession: not sure actually. am on a weird period of my life i think. Barbie movie maybe? Will watch next week with some friends. Get money? Go to go to more festivals? My cats? Indie games on steam? Sorry i can't really think of anything that's been pulling my interest in particular lately.

I would like to get to know quite a few of you better but tags on my blog seem to be meh, so I'll let whoever wants to awnser these go for it!

because sometimes there are invisible tests and invisible rules and you're just supposed to ... know the rule. someone you thought of as a friend asks you for book recommendations, so you give her a list of like 30 books, each with a brief blurb and why you like it. later, you find out she screenshotted the list and send it out to a group chat with the note: what an absolute freak can you believe this. you saw the responses: emojis where people are rolling over laughing. too much and obsessive and actually kind of creepy in the comments. you thought you'd been doing the right thing. she'd asked, right? an invisible rule: this is what happens when you get too excited.

you aren't supposed to laugh at your own jokes, so you don't, but then you're too serious. you're not supposed to be too loud, but then people say you're too quiet. you aren't supposed to get passionate about things, but then you're shy, boring. you aren't supposed to talk too much, but then people are mad when you're not good at replying.

you fold yourself into a prettier paper crane. since you never know what is "selfish" and what is "charity," you give yourself over, fully. you'd rather be empty and over-generous - you'd rather eat your own boundaries than have even one person believe that you're mean. since you don't know what the thing is that will make them hate you, you simply scrub yourself clean of any form of roughness. if you are perfect and smiling and funny, they can love you. if you are always there for them and never admit what's happening and never mention your past and never make them uncomfortable - you can make up for it. you can earn it.

don't fuck up. they're all testing you, always. they're tolerating you. whatever secret club happened, over a summer somewhere - during some activity you didn't get to attend - everyone else just... figured it out. like they got some kind of award or examination that allowed them to know how-to-be-normal. how to fit. and for the rest of your life, you've been playing catch-up. you've been trying to prove that - haha! you get it! that the joke they're telling, the people they are, the manual they got- yeah, you've totally read it.

if you can just divide yourself in two - the lovable one, and the one that is you - you can do this. you can walk the line. they can laugh and accept you. if you are always-balanced, never burdensome, a delight to have in class, champagne and glittering and never gawky or florescent or god-forbid cringe: you can get away with it.

you stare at your therapist, whom you can make jokes with, and who laughs at your jokes, because you are so fucking good at people-pleasing. you smile at her, and she asks you how you're doing, and you automatically say i'm good, thanks, how are you? while the answer swims somewhere in your little lizard brain:

how long have you been doing this now? mastering the art of your body and mind like you're piloting a puppet. has it worked? what do you mean that all you feel is... just exhausted. pick yourself up, the tightrope has no net. after all, you're cheating, somehow, but nobody seems to know you actually flunked the test. it's working!

aren't you happy yet?

Distractions & willpower of my "ascended" brain?

My moral flexibility or lack of care for some other people is a choice, not a "condition" in stasis. So, in a way, I could choose to pay little heed to certain issues, like my mother's new found health problem that may require surgery and who knows how it ends... I can flip that switch, I can even forget more practical implications of bad case scenarios on myself (like, economic), but at the end of the day, since it's not like I don't care and I do have the ability to feel worry, my mind keeps coming back to this due to many different threads of mind. Makes my time right now kinda... ehhh, no willpower.

Not to mention I've been telling both of them what to do and what to change in life style and diet for like almost a decade soon, at affordable cost, to avoid such bad scenarios, but of course to no avail - yet another such "thread" of mind that keeps reminding me of the thing, in an annoying way, with a mixture of contempt, disappointment, care, worry and - also, to a certain degree - self-interest (you know, health issues of the closest member of the family you're in good relations with are never a zero-sum game and certainly not fun, not to mention if I'm facing my own issues).

So the thought keeps coming back and there is one specific reason why it does - being alone. I could talk to this one person or that other person but what I mean is being alone intimately. Because it's not about some naïve reassurance and having to worry about it together, far from it. Rather, more like a redirection of thought - how I wish there was someone to tell me to look in the mirror (or something) and focus on what I've got planned for near future instead, because I am me and will defy my own odds, even if just to prove it was possible and have a little bit of fun, regardless of these personal distractions and what might/might not occur.

But I can't talk with anyone in this way, so my thoughts can't be really grounded outside of my own mind and there is only so much coherence that you can have inside of your own rich brain with your own inner voice = gets tedious somewhat, after a while. I'll re-adjust myself to the situation as it unfolds, I always do, but it won't be as effective. So yeah, it's a vent post, because I'm unlikely to ever find anyone like that. Most people would be like sad, silent puppies in this situation, giving me hugs or stressing over what should be done, but I don't need that, not in this situation anyway. Literally just give me a practical "slap" to focus on my own self-improvement instead of thinking about it when I don't need to. Just do things beneficial for yourself (or, yeah, for us, if that was a thing), stick to the plan, be ambitious. People want touch, hugs, protection, partners for spending time and eat candy bars with, but like heck, I require an actual kindred-spirit with a kick and guts to tell me what is what when needed, not these petty, "basic" things.
