I tried to find the art that I once saw a long time ago, that I feel might've been the inspiration for that. Don't know if that's the exact one, as it seems to be quite a popular motif, but I'm putting it here, there's the artist signature and I'd be glad if someone would help me figure out who are they!

Howdy folks! Welcome back to another state of the game post. This week I bring good news, the players movement is done for foreseeable future! Or at least for what I need it to do right now. I've attached a gif showing it off too so y'all finally have some visual aid for what I'm talking about. The player is able to move without impediment on any slope within a steepness limit, and they'll properly rotate to match whatever incline their on. Feels pretty smooth and looks so too. With that out of the way I can properly focus my efforts onto more pressing matters, like combat! I'll try to create more visually appealing posts from now on too so y'all don't have to deal with just a wall of text lmao.

How would SK Sun feel to know that the game 'ring around the rosy' is a song about the black death?

I feel like that's something he'd know offhand

Ring-a-ring-a-rosies

A pocket full of posies

An I love you, I need you

It all falls down

The wedding bells never sound

No hands ever get bound

No knots, no rings

No loving things

No I love you, I need you

So my hopes fall down

This is *so cheating* because I know most of these and which fics they are... So I'm just going to choose the ones that I think have the funniest names.. Also you had way more maribat fics left than you said you did, you liar <3

Projecting onto Tim even more than usual (DC) Flipflopswipswap (Maribat) Is this actually even fanfic at this point (Maribat) If you say depression in a french accent it sounds fancy (Maribat)

Hey, almost all of those are started and most are decently close to the end/short so I don't count it as that much. Also, it is 100% cheating but I'm going to let it slide because you are my beloved.

Projecting onto Tim even more than usual - A wip where I give Tim OCD and make him suffer while also making jokes from time to time

Your snippet is:

Riddler scowled as Tim strode forward, bo in hand. “How did you beat my escape room so easily?!” “Every room is an escape room if your OCD is bad enough.” “... are you okay?” Tim slugged him across the face. And then he quietly knelt down next to the man’s crumpled form. “No. But thank you for asking. That was very nice of you. Kinda makes me feel bad about this, but taking you down is kinda my job, so….”

Flipflopswipswap - A wip inspired by a comment I got about the tone change they felt when going from Canary to Into the Unknown. Swapped the Timaris to make everyone suffer

Your snippet is:

Marinette’s first thought upon waking up was that she was cold. She groaned a little to herself and started shifting in bed, throwing an arm out behind her in search of her husband. Her alarm hadn’t gone off, therefore she was entitled to more cuddles. But he wasn’t there. She frowned to herself and slowly opened her eyes, having to squint at the light the window provided. It was much brighter than she thought it’d be, and she grimaced and looked around for her phone. This is where her second thought came in: she wasn’t in her room. Her third thought is: WHAT THE FUCK THERE IS A KNIFE IN MY MOUTH WHY IS THERE A KNIFE IN MY MOUTH?!

Is this actually even fanfic at this point

You have found: My My

Your snippet:

Samantha pulls the knife out, and Alix screams. “You can’t just do that!” She blinks. “What? Really? That’s what they always do in the books.” “No! I needed the knife there to not bleed out!” “Oh!” She says, and then she sinks the knife back in. She misses the hole, though, her hands are trembling too much, and she mutters a curse as she pulls it out to try again. Alix continues to scream. Tells her she’s only making it worse, and Samantha keeps trying to get it right. And then it seems to hit her. “It’s you,” Alix breathes. “You’re helping him.” 'Samantha' pauses. And then a grin slowly makes its way across her face. She brings a hand up to the cut on her cheek. She runs a finger along it, and it fades away into nothing.

If you say depression in a french accent it sounds fancy

You have found - Bound (I Feel You)

Your snippet:

"Fuck," Tim breathed, accelerating the car to frankly dangerous speeds, but he didn't care. "Fuckfuckfuck." She had already passed out from blood loss, and his head was appropriately fuzzy, but he didn't know what to do. Or maybe the problem was that he did know what to do, and there were too many options. He needed to get her to the hospital, but he wasn't sure where the nearest one was. He needed to stem the blood flow by bandaging her, but that also hurt him and if he passed out from the pain she was going to die. He needed help but he had no one. Outside of a soulmate that hated him and that he hated in return. And, as much as he had wanted to break the string that bound them, he hadn't wanted this.

Ep 269: The Hitchhiker of Mogollon Rim

"The trickster is found worldwide. Superficially, his tales seem little more than entertaining stories for children, but they encode important truths. The trickster is central to many religious beliefs, and some of the tales are sacred. In fact, a number of cultures permit only a few persons to tell the stories and restrict when they can be told because they have a power of their own."  -- "The Trickster and the Paranormal," by George P. Hansen

Description:

The Mogollon Rim in northcentral Arizona is a geological landform that spans around 200 miles east to west, demarking the southern boundary of the Colorado Plateau in the state. This topographical feature is classified as an escarpment where wide and steeply sloping cliffs and rock masses delineate the high pine-covered plateau on the northern side, which receives cold winter temperatures and light snow from the desert-like conditions below to the south. This transitional nature provides a habitat for significantly varying types of plants and animals. Perhaps because of Mogollon Rim’s liminal nature, this variance is claimed by many to also extend to creatures and phenomena that dwell beyond our understanding. Accounts and legends of UFOs, supernatural occurrences, and even its own brand of a hominin-like beast known as the “Mogollon Monster” are familiar to the territory. The supernatural element became all too real for our guest, Jay, who endured a terrifying encounter while working as a wildlife biologist for the Arizona Game and Fish Department. While studying black bears in the rugged canyons and terrain of the Rim, Jay encountered an impossible stranger in a pretty unlikely place, one that insisted on getting a ride. But who or what was this thing, and what was their intention? An ancient spirit known to the Native American cultures of the region or a physical being with mystical powers masquerading as a weird human? While it is never advisable to pick up strangers, it seems that one may be compelled to give a ride to a hitchhiker on Mogollon Rim, maybe as just a playful reminder that humans are not the apex of the paranormal food chain.
