#so that'll be fine

[mymarifae]

completing the 2.2 trailblaze mission gives you new daily text messages from aventurine if you have him.. 🥹 so you're Not just left with his scheduled post-suicide-attempt farewells. and it's a really nice conversation too. he plays it off like a game buuuut he loses on purpose every time so really he's just opening up of his own volition

(i'm still alive, and i'm happy about that 🥹 his conversation with acheron really left a profound impact on him oh my godddd)

aventurine... of all people... reaching out and talking so honestly about what happened and how it affected him... and seeing a therapist of sorts (bit of an oversimplification but that's basically what the doctors of chaos do so like). sometimes all you need to start learning how to value your life again is to uhh ..literally get cut in half

I need everyone to know that speedsters are allergic to nanobots.

No, seriously. They're allergic to nanobots.

Speedsters have absolutely insane metabolisms, which means that they have an absolutely insane immune system. They don't get sick. Ever. Their immune system works at warp speed and takes out germs the second they enter their body. Call germs 'the Rogues' because they're getting tackled by super speedy blurs before they can even think about causing issues.

Okay, so they have a great immune system and don't get sick ever. What does this have to do with nanobots?

Great question! When nanobots are injected into a speedster's body their immune system sees them as a threat. Only problem? It doesn't matter how fast or efficient their immune system is, their body can't destroy a bunch of tiny metal robots.

Because their bodies can't fight off the nanobots they start to display typical cold/flu symptoms instead. Vomiting, fever, runny nose, coughing, being tired, ect. The nanobots aren't causing this reaction. Their own immune system causes this reaction. The fever is the bodies attempt to kill off the 'germs'. The vomiting, runny nose and coughing is the body's attempt to expel the 'germs'. They feel tired because their body is putting everything into fighting off the 'infection'.

In a normal person the nanobots wouldn't even be an issue because they'd be able to avoid detection. They can't avoid detection in a speedster body because their immune systems are dialled up to 500 out of 10.

As a result you get instances like this:

(Inertia had injected Bart with nanobots and Bart had a reaction)

Just an FYI for people because this is extremely fun and versatile information. Especially because none of the speedsters are really aware of this and it doesn't kick in right away. I could totally see a situation where a mission requires nanobot injections and mid mission the speedster goes down out of nowhere. It's also great if you want to do a stereotypical sick fic or something and want to get around that pesky speedster immunity.

Anyway, it's fun information so I thought I'd share

me when there's bugs in the bayou:

[trilobitepunch]

...and then I took a hard left and got caught up in trying to design a Cybertronian disguise for Donnie oops

All his favorite Decepticons Cybertronians people have claws. He may also have been hanging out extensively with T!A Shockwave and T!P Soundwave. Just a bit. Team Purple, yo.

Also he hasn't experienced the Kraang yet so claws and reverse leggies are still totally cool.

I was waffling with what to make his alt form and then decided I'd borrow off the gunships he designed in the movie. Other parts like his head and shoulder vents are from his uranium bot from the "Down with the Sickness" ep.

I hope Hallariel keeps going on her redemption arc in Junior Year

There is something so special about the fantasy that you could look a parent in the eye (twice! Fabian did this twice!) And tell them they're a bad parent and they... believe you.

They say, yes, I was. But I want to do better. I don't know how and it will be hard but I love you and want to change for you.

Something about Fabian seeing the flaws in his mom and being willing to help her grow not because he has to but because he wants to, even still.

AT LAST....

I present: the train boys and their pokemon (including all pre-evolutions!) as rendered in perler bead form, crafted lovingly by me squinting at blurry sprite sheets and substituting colors as needed!

Gonna have to find a nice wall space to put them all up on!

[araneitela]

Alright, I've been mulling on this for most of the day, and unless a night's sleep changes my mind, I'll be working on returning (remaking) a very old multimuse of mine, that used to be over at iniziare. The blog will be entirely remade, and I'll post it here when it's done!

For those wondering, it will for now house: Guizhong, Yelan, Kafka and Arlecchino. Time to finish up that other WIP theme for this, I suppose! See you guys on the flip-side of this brighter future.

wait kromer rant sounds interesting

Ohhhh the Kromer rant.

Nobody in Limbus thus far has been hit with the fandom flanderization "she would not fucking say/do that" beam harder than Kromer. I've seen both absurdly sexualized "yandere" Kromer and woobified to hell and back Kromer. I think a large swath of people just... ignore that the central pillar of her character is that she is an ableist cult leader.

Yes, she is probably only around 23-24 years old, and yes based on the source material she probably came from a much poorer family than Sinclair. But trying to twist that into her being a hapless victim of circumstance leaves a sour taste in my mouth when we're first introduced to her through the fact that she considers anyone with a prosthetic less than human. Like. We can't ignore the violent bigotry here. N-Corp may have decided to give her a platform for it, but it's not like they groomed her into wanting to kill everyone with prosthetics. She was already like that, and N-Corp simply enabled her to do that on a wide reaching scale because they could make a profit from it (N-Corp's singularity is memory extraction iirc, and the nails are able to extract memories from the people they kill, which in turn are sold by N-Corp as "Experiences" and also what they feed to Nagel und Hammer members to brainwash them).

And as for whatever yandere shit I've seen, I think that's just a refusal to engage with the themes of the text. A shipping-brain only reading. Like, the reason Kromer is obsessed with Sinclair is because if she can convince him to join her, that is a powerful talking point for her cause. "Look, the son of a major prosthetics manufacturer is on our side! His family was going to force him to get a full-body replacement. Isn't it cruel to force that on someone who's barely out of high school? Aren't prosthetics cruel. Aren't they inhuman?" It's a game of rhetoric to her. Sinclair was going through the stress of not wanting a cosmetic surgery and Kromer saw how she could use him as a pawn in her anti-prosthetics agenda.

And Lust as a skill does not necessarily refer to sexual desire. I already said this but since greed was replaced with gloom, lust becomes the de-facto sin for desire. Bloodlust, lust for power, lust for revenge, ect. The fact that some people will take the themes of Kromer's story; how a corporation will platform the most violent bigot they can find to increase their profit margins, how inherently hypocritical Kromer's ideas of "purity of the flesh" are, and how if you give someone so violently bigoted an inch they'll take a mile, and just throw all those out the window in favor of her being some kind of evil succubus obsessed with Sinclair because she wants to fuck him is just incredibly, mind-numbingly frustrating.

And the concept of "Vagina Dentata" needs to be put up on a high shelf until anyone who wants to say distorted Kromer has one can pass an elementary level reading comprehension test.

Hello friends! Just a quick kh4f programming note: I'll be out of commission for most of, if not all of today, as I'm having a minor medical procedure done. (Outpatient, everything's fine, dw! 🫶🏻) So if anything notable happens (fully expecting Ash to announce ai2 the second I'm sedated 😌) and I'm MIA... that's why lol. Try not to have too much fun without me! 😘💙

The Caterpillar Game

A fun way to fuck up your kids

And me trying to distract myself.

I always kind of wondered when my OCD started.

Was I born this fucked up? (Science says no)

Or was it something else? Something that happened to me?

I have a wedding in about... two weeks? I'll be attending in a dress, unfortunately, which means doing my eyebrows so I look presentable.

During the pandemic lock downs, I had to learn to do my eyebrows myself, and I'm actually really pleased to say that I'm pretty okay at it now?

Having neat eyebrows doesn't do much to help me look more masculine, but it's important, because my OCD really likes to show itself through trichotillomania.

Hair pulling.

For me, it's hair on my face, specifically chin and neck, and I'll pick and pick and pick until I'm bloody. This has gotten worse since covid because unless you're waxing and threading consistently, there's always hair there, ripe for the picking.

But I've managed, and my bank account has thanked me.

It's not perfect, though, so with a wedding looming just around the corner, I've been letting everything grow. That way, a professional can reshape my brows and then I'll repeat for another two years until I make them wonky and I'll repeat this process.

But as I sit here, struggling against every fibre of my being that tells me to pick, I wonder where this started.

How to play

Growing up, my aunt liked to play the caterpillar game.

The rules are simple.

Smack the forehead of people with a unibrow to kill the caterpillar.

There's no winning. Just smacks. Until you die.

The first time I remember this happening was when I was 6 or 7. By 8, I was threading with my mom when she would go.

My cousin, my aunt's daughter, has ruined her eyebrows. They don't grow anymore? They're very, very thin. The style of the time, but something she regrets.

Sometimes, I wonder why she doesn't struggle like I do, and then I remember that she probably is, just in different ways. At least I still have eyebrows, even if my brain wants them gone.

She has her own kids now, but they're both boys, and I hope she doesn't have anymore.

I hope she doesn't have a girl.

I hope the caterpillar game dies with us.

There needs to be more events where wearing pants, a sick jacket, and no top is acceptable attire... The world is really missing out.

[angeart]

You are in fact good at teasing xD you know I wanna ask but I know you were working on rambles before you got sick and I see those hmtb posts too -🎀

yeah i had to get into a fist fight with google doc over hmtb. it said this was enough angst and tried to stop me.

can't believe i have two unfinished hhau rambles going on and yet i'm teasing a third. but you can't blame me!! the au is too fun.

on the topic of teasing, this is currently sitting in the wip of mimic arc aftermath rambles:

Whenever his feelings slip and spiral a bit too much, he keeps begging Scar to stay. He pleads for him to not leave him again, in a choked, broken, terrified voice. 

He tells Scar he won't be able to take it the second time. He won't, he won’t.
