A lot of visitors travel to boulder for an overnight stay or a short visit. It is a mountain town in boulder county, Colorado. Its in the foothills of the Rockies so the mountains will be at your doorstep. This being said, you do not need to spend a fortune on an activity here. After all, most people are there to party and for the nightlife.
Going absolutely feral over @yamujiburo's hanamusashipping AU, so here's Ash being a great big brother to the little AU-of-the-AU children, Prim and Skye.
rewatching my vids… *explodes* here is the manch riff [at the start he was talking about a security guy at the airport thinking his hair was a wig so he wouldnt get recognised]
I think another big reason FCG's sacrifice play hit so hard is that the whole fight, there were major downs that for the most part, the players were all sort of nervous laughing off. Travis made a big dramatic scene for Chetney, but then FCG (sobs...our Faithful Care Giver) pumped in his only Revivify with his only diamond. After that, several party members kept going into death saves, and while it was stressful and harrowing, the attitude was consistently one like "(nervous laughter) we'll pull through, we got this, right?" Especially after Imogen called Liliana for help, there was some kind of faint hope that a Deus ex Machina-ish event would swoop in and help turn the tide back in their favor, and then they could finish Otohan off in a scene of poetic justice.
But then FCG went full stress, and Otohan went after him relentlessly. And FCG made the pointed decision not to attack Otohan with Guiding Bolt, but to sacrifice himself. Permanently. Go nuclear. This was serious. Sam was starting to cry, and so was Matt as soon as Sam requested the action.
With one move, he shifted the tone. And it was his decision to double down and not escape the blast radius. There was no nervous laughter joking, he was serious. There was no intent to survive, but he was doing it to save everyone, and everyone knew it, and knew there was no going back. 91 episodes in, and they were going to lose a long-time party member. As if one of Vox Machina or Mighty Nein had permadied just before their final stretch. No one had ever gone like that, in that deliberately serious kind of way.
Characters had died, mostly out of accident and the tone was shocking, but no one had done that Iron Giant Sacrifice Play without the possibility of return before.
AU where Joyce comes back home to see Billy drugged and passed out on her floor. She cleans blood off his face, helps him get on the couch, and Billy accidentally calls her mom.
i love the minato in iwa snippet, but i gotta ask, how the hell did team 4 deal with that??? logically they know he’s a badass kage and all, but he has the presence of a baby kitten and a backbone of wet tissue paper, itachi at least seemed to be silently freaking out a bit there, but what about tori? deidara????
at this point none of them actually know what minato did, but all three of them are ready to go nuclear themselves. so when minato goes off, itachi just kind of assumes..... an itachi level of violence? he's freaked out by the sudden reminder minato could bend him into a pretzel if he wanted, but itachi also grew up with him and considers him relatively safe, so he's not as freaked out as he could be
for expediency i deleted some dialogue at the end. basically, minato was like "okay, who wants to go home, and who wants to go for a walk with me???" and deidara was like ME I WANT TO DO WHATEVER HORRIBLE THING TO IWA!!!!! and tori's exact wording was "ew." deidara is SO into fucking up iwa he gives zero thought to minato besides "cool, a coconspirator." tori does not get a thrill out of direct violence and she's too paranoid about being eaten alive to be like "oh worm you want this insane blood seal i have been able to do this whole time???" but at the same time in her brain she's still a glorified civilian and she doesn't differentiate between the danger minato poses vs itachi or deidara or even a rando jounin because she assumes once the power gap is big enough it's functionally the same as even bigger power gaps.
i think a team 4 debrief session would be fun though, to get everyone's reaction of "uuuum what the fuck, hokage-sama :)" and then also make minato unpack some of the insane bullshit team 4 did prior to his arrival. for example tori and deidara went out of their to befriend kurotsuchi, which is very darkly funny in hindsight. tori intentionally befriended mangetsu for strategic reasons and then cashed in her "manipulate the boy who likes you" card by weeping to him about how iwa kidnapped her sensei so kisame/kiri gets the story before iwa invents a justification. same people's limbs were melted off and a lot of brains were scrambled. in hindsight iwa was definitely trying to kill them IN the exam and none of them noticed until specifically asked about it. kushina reveals that despite being an active field jounin, she's never stayed the night in the hospital or had an IV, and this is the most insane revelation of the night
