#there was a bit where i was outside with more pokemon but i dont remember it almost at all

[salsa-di-pomodoro]

Today i woke up and realized i had not ONE not TWO but THREE ENTIRE COOL DREAMS and none of them turned into nightmares. Just cool vibes all around and two of the dreams were about pokemon legends. One of them was an entire au idea. I should have taken melatonin to fix my sleep schedule before this if this is what normal people feel when they go to sleep

[au idea is in the tags]

Hello! I used to watch your channel alot in middle school and I recently remembered your old hetalia play throughs and decided to look you up again on youtube. I've been putting your pokemon mystery dungeon lets play in the background while I work and I've been enjoying your adventures as you upload them. I went through your recent vids to find more to watch, under the impression you stopped playing hetalia games a while ago and to my surprise ( and delight )you haven't stop playing/making games! However while watching I began to wonder- why are there so many rpgmaker hetalia fan games? Like why are there more fan games for a history comedy anime than an anime about videogames. I figured since you were around when hetalia and its fandom launched ( and since I don't really remeber since I was pretty young) that you might have some fan culture context I'm lacking in on why rpg maker is such a prominent part of hetalia fan content? As a thank you for reading this, have a pair of friends!

AWWWH THATS SO SWEET I LOVE THE PICTURE

And I'm still playing hetagames, im just playing stuff inbetween them now that ive always wanted to play but never had the chance. So yea its not primarily a hetalia channel now cuz im branching out a bit but I still do them!

My theory on why theres so many hetalia games is this, Hetalia has no plot outside of the history of the world. there's no real major arcing story to consider where to slot in these events from in their timeline. The characters are stereotypes and archetypes of world culturals and they are EASY to place in anything you want. Fantasy? Western? Horror? There are plenty of characters from every part of the world to fit the role. Or, since it is a comedy series, they never really delve too deep on the point of view of cultures in segments in the past which people can get a lot of historical fiction fun with. Especially with RPG Maker, it can be easy to learn and theres a LOT of hetalia resources out there to copy paste in and youre ready to go to make your fanfic a visual reality! Not to mention with like, me personally, i prefer playing a game than reading a fic (just sitting down and reading a chunk of chapters is hard for me i dont really read fics often) so the interactivity is much easier to swallow. But thats just a personal preference

Again, thank you so much for giving me a chance after all this time!

Leon x Therapist!Reader

Leon realized he needed therapy because the title of champion isn't easy. It's a lot of stress. The league pays for therapy for some of it's high ranking competitors and gym leaders. The league sent Leon to a therapist named Y/n L/n. Leon was riding his Charizard to the address he was given. He got lost in the woods. He was walking around until he heard a woman's voice and started walking towards it.

"Hello?" She called out and Leon stepped into her gaze

"Hey umm I'm kinda lost I'm looking for a person named Y/n L/n do you happen to know who she is and where I can find her?" Leon asked

"Oh! That's me I saw your Charizard fly over and your purple hair and I also happen to know you don't have the best sense of direction" Y/n put out her hand for Leon to shake and Leon gave her a firm handshake.

"How did you know?" Leon asked

"My brother talks about you a lot" Y/n explained

"Oh now I remember where I've seen your face you're Raihan's sister" Leon remembered her and Raihan talking at their battle a few weeks ago.

"So he invited you too the battle a while back" Leon asked

"Yeah we're really close, I'm glad to have a brother like him but he is a bit competitive" Y/n told him smiling

"Trust me I know" Leon deadpanned

"We should probably go inside and get started" Y/n suggested

Y/n led Leon to her little cottage that was surrounded by a vivasous garden and tons of pokemon.

"Are these pokemon yours?" Leon asked

"Nope they just hang out around my place and I feed them but they're wild" Y/n explained

"Cool"

Y/n let him in and asked him to sit down. She got him tea and sat down in another chair.

"So Leon the reason you're here is completely between me and you and only you can change that and eventually I want you to feel comfortable enough to talk to me openly" Y/n started explaining things to him

"Alright" Leon complied

"So if I may ask why you felt the need to come her" Y/n asked

"Oh well being champion is sometimes stressful and I feel like I can't talk to anybody about it because they wouldn't understand. I'm number 1 in the world and it scares me a bit" Leon ranted to Y/n and Y/n began taking notes

"Are you scared because you don't know how to get stronger because there's no one you know of ahead of you that you can surpass?"

"Yeah that's exactly how I feel!" Leon exclaimed

Y/n softly laughed at his reaction.

"Man you must be really good at this therapist thing" Leon complimented

"Why thank you Leon that's very sweet of you" Y/n thanked him for his kind compliment and smiled at him.

Something about Y/n's smile just made Leon want to see more of her.

"So Leon want to go play with the pokemon in the garden?" Y/n asked

"Of course"

The two walked out to the garden and all the pokemon immediately flocked around Y/n. Leon slightly laughed because she looked cute surrounded by pokemon. (im sure all my readers are cute cant change my mind dont try).

"Are all pokemon this fond of you miss Y/n" Leon asked

"Well no... ive been attacked a handful of times trying to help an injured pokemon but nothing too bad" Y/n said moving her way to Leon with the wild pokemon still at her feet making her trip into him. Luckily he caught her.

"I'm so sorry Leon" Y/n apologized

"Oh no its fine I understand and no one was hurt right?" Leon said making Y/n look down at her feet to check for any injured pokemon

"I dont think so" Y/n smiled

Y/n and Leon spent the rest of the day playing around. In the end Leon wanted to see more of her and he felt so much better just from being around her. Leon eventually had to leave.

"See you next time Leon please be safe going home" Y/n told him

"Thanks Y/n"

The next couple of months Leon went to therapy and he felt better and better each time. Y/n was a kind and caring soul and Leon loved that. So he was going to confess his love for her. He somehow remembered the way to her house. When he landed Y/n was already outside watering plants.

"Hey Y/n" Leon greeted

"Hi Leon" Y/n replied walking up to him and his Charizard

"Its nice to see you again" Leon smiled

"Yesh it's nice to see you too it's always nice to see you" Y/n said

"I'm glad to hear that because I have an important question for you" Leon said while getting off of his Charizard

"Y/n the fee months we've known each other have been absolutely amazing and learning more about myself and you have been really fun. So what I'm asking is if maybe you'd be my girlfriend?" Leon asked taking his cap off

"Oh of course Leon I'm actually really glad you asked because I feel the exact same" Y/n replied taking one of his hands in hers.

Leon and Y/n gave each other a tight hug until they heard a loud gasp.

"Y/n! what on earth are you doing?!" Raihan exclaimed walking out of her cottage

"I told you I had a patient today Raihan" Y/n told Raihan

"Not that Leon just asked you out and you didn't say a word to me?" Raihan said in a very jokingly sassy tone

Y/n laughed at Raihan and smiled at Leon

If I had a nickle for every great glitchmon fic/au I've found over the past month or so, I'd have three nickles. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird/amazing that it happened thrice in 2022. ((I'd also have two nickles for every reminder of and subsequent nostalgia-wave for Glitch Fest ;u;)) Anyways!!! Greetings, person of phenomenal taste & art skill, please take this ask as blanket permission to talk about whatever GlitchFarer AU stuff you want to :)

I'm so so sorry for responding to this so late! Tumblr pulled a Wattpad and kept deleting wiping my responses to this, but after updating Tumblr it's finally working properly and I can answer this!

Thank you sm for the ask ahhhhh!!!! I'm really happy that you like Glitchfarer, it's such a passion child of both my interests in Submas and my love for Gen 1 glitches (which have become so prevalent they're practically a science of their own.). Also, nice to see another Scykoh fan here, making this au made me rewatch their glitch quest videos about pokemon and eventually the entire playlist of glitchfest that they've made.

Also, I have been holding BACK so much when it comes to this AU, but I'll try not to spoil too much of it other than basic world building.

———;

So, Glitchfarer. This au came alive during the first big wave of submas content involving Emmet capturing/using legendaries to beat up God. I remember looking at a particular post about Emmet catching all of the legendaries to absolutely body Arceus to bring Ingo back, and going "that's cool and all... but why not more unhinged? Why not something like MissingNo?" and them boom. It was created and it was incredible.

A really fun thing about this au for me is that while I can portray it comedically, there's a lot of thought and technical stuff that goes into the designs of the glitchmons and the world they live in. For example, the main Glitch City is one big labyrinth that will always get you lost, and is a constantly changing maze. If you dont have one of the locals guiding you, you're stuck in there forever unless a pokemon can use fly to escape. It's made up of a bunch of optical illusions that aren't illusions at all. There are also floating islands as apart of the natural terrain outside of the massive city and a large, endless sea at the bottom that doesn't have a floor to it.

The bottomless sea is more or less a really complicated one-sided gateway to Cinnibar island's coastline, and it's flooded with all of the different pokemon and trainers that are possible, including Zzazz trainers. This is mainly in reference of the Old Man glitch, where various pokemon and trainers can be encountered at the right edge of the Cinnabar Island coastline depending on the letters of your name. Thought it'd be a cool reference to one of the oldest glitches known.

Glitchmons included in this comic are designed based on their known typings, moves, and general corruption in the game. In the introduction post .4 was portrayed as an evil beetle sort of fellow, and for good damned reason!! Encountering one in the wild with the Mew glitch is risky, as these fellas can learn Super Glitch as early as... you know... level 1. It learns it multiple times through its move pool aswell, and it's pokedex entry plays a chaotic glitch tune that never ends and prevents the player from doing most of anything. Japanese Symbol is designed as a bit of a dick head, as it can be encountered through the Mew glitch and will always freeze the game upon entrance. (During research of this, I found out that by complete coincidence Japanese Symbol is the same name given to it by the English community of glitch hunting. I gave it that name because my phone doesn't have the character.)

Currently, there are three other characters planned to join Emmet in his shenanigans; one of them I already revealed in the introduction post, but the other two I won't spoil for a while. Just know that one of them is probably wanted for war crimes and the other is a character I'm surprised to not see much of in this Submas revival, considering they were one of the og fanboys of Ingo and Emmet.

[worangetraveler-multiverseguide]

Looking at 331... curious and perhaps annoyed?

Okay that might be a bit of an exaggeration but here’s the thing I was looking yesterday WAITING for the chapter and the second I don’t look its out and by the time I saw it I couldnt get in the mood to react to it and its MAYBE about the class A-hole? So yeah... curious and annoyed IS kinda accurate

ANYWAY Future Worange here ready to check what this chapter... so let’s go?

We begin from where the communication problem class’ A-hole tried to shot Komi and while she was stopped she went all “why so angry? it’s just a game” which while not WRONG... inmediately shows her as an A-hole in my book 

And so the mood in the class went heavy... damn (also hi Not!Oda)

Thanks for the insight AND Shiinasshole’s name gugu gaga man (not but seriously it amusing Ogiya got to narrate the summary of last chapter)

OH so yeah... even with that armor looking arm it counts as taking the bullet so... sorry still don’t remember her name but she is out of the game and it IS knowledge (4th wall-y at least) that she and Komi are friends since first year even when they dont talk much

OH!!! she’s Kishi-san! thanks Komi... o.o! Komi is the one thanking (VERBALLY) KISHI for the help and Kishi (silently) knowledges her... small yet sweet moment tbh

And then Kishi died, the end. PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT

Katou in charge of her class doing an assesment of the situation, apparently the third years have been left to be for the time being... which IS concerning... but for now their focus is to protect the buzzer although the fear of the first and second years teaming up is a possibility

HOWEVER

Seems Suteno (2nd year’s A-hole) has take a hold of the first years and now holds the buzzer in his hands

Aori Umai... good at exaggerating... meh, it does for good narration so I like her :P

That IS the most kind hostage enforcer I’ve seen... amusing xD

:O

Katou WAS RIGHT, Suteno is planning to use the first years as extra force to overwhelm the third years

Guess the dude is less annoying A-hole and more charismatic A-hole... that IS a bit better tbh, but yeah first years wanna play some more so a lot are following them

Although Apparently Hiki, Susumu and a third new friend are in hiding... but no focus on that for now

The march toward the third years begin and

Yamai...

and Nanakanaka...

This is the first time you will ever hear me being excited to see them both (Yamai more specifically)

PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT

NOT EVERY CHUUNI IS RELATED YAMAI!?!?!?!?! xD (although yeah Suteno MIGHT be a bit Chuuni you know?)

anyway BLOODSHED TIME! (not real blood but still)

FIGHT TO THE DEATH LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooo... probably next chapter? DAMN IT! (but understandable)

Back to 3-1 the situation while tense internally seems secure with the secret police defending the outside

Meanwhile Komi is a bit anxious about Shiina... which yeah, valid

Oh hai Machi what’s happening now? oh she calling Komi cute? accurate accurate

OH and Komi returning the compliment back, how sweet :) (and again verbally which is NICE to hear... you know what I mean :P)

Mmm... okay? “Tragic” backstory for Machi?

So Machi’s wish since before getting to highschool was to be called “cute”... all things considered? Hey everyone has their goals

(also Not!Oda I’m not filling that comeback cause 1-RUDE! 2-japanese puns... I fail them)

Komi-san has fulfilled Machi 3 year long dream and it’s a burst of emotions

The room is getting a bit more friendly now

“What was that all about?“ ... honestly? while Shiina is still an A-hole... she kinda has a point of this being weird, but is nothing BAD so not sure what to say

I thought I was gonna be angrier at Shiina or that she was gonna be a bigger A-hole... but apparently whatever is coming between her and Komi-san is gonna happen NEXT TIME

A couple of movements and excited for more shenanigans this was interesting, and honestly that’s all I can ask for this right now :D

See you... most likely in the next chapter cause its POKEMON WEEKEND BABY! Never fully played gen 4 so the remake should be fun to experience.

Chapter 1 Chapter 3

Master Post

Words: 1,271

Summery: ' "It must be snow" Sleep thought aloud, lifting a paw to poke as the slow falling dots "I've only ever heard of it of course. Come on, it doesn't seem to be coming down that heavy, let's keep going."

Pecha looked back at the storm covered sky, nodding "they don't look too bad, it probably won't get to heavy anyways." '

 

It's time these two found some help, why not surprise them a bit?

Chapter 2

The two had been walking for weeks, avoiding trainers and other pokemon. Exhaustion clawed at their muscles, but neither could get much rest as they journeyed on.

 

Currently the two lay resting under a great Oak tree, its branches lazily swayed as a frost bitten breeze ran through the leaf baren Winter forest. Pecha glanced at his friend as Sleep slept- ha, the coincidence. Even with Pecha blocking the chill wind though, he would be waking any moment.

 

The Eevee glanced out at the frostbitten grass, only weeks ago fresh green and swaying in the warm autumn wind, bristle under a cloud covered sky as dusk neared. No matter the chill, it was still beautiful, only hearing about Winter from long staying Eevees.

 

Pecha looked at his friend again as Sleep started to shift, slowly raising his head. Pecha giggled, setting a small lick on the other's head.

 

"C'mon, we should get moving" the Eevees shook out their pelts as they stood, side by side as they continued their journey. Something crisp nipped their noses, a cold scent they had never smelled before.

 

It only took moments after that for something white to start drifting down upon them, Pecha sticking his tongue out curiously, only to jump when one landed.

 

"Those are cold!" He exclaimed, blinking at the frosty flakes.

 

"It must be snow" Sleep thought aloud, lifting a paw to poke as the slow falling dots "I've only ever heard of it of course. Come on, it doesn't seem to be coming down that heavy, let's keep going."

 

Pecha looked back at the storm covered sky, nodding "they don't look too bad, it probably won't get to heavy anyways."

 

______________________________

 

It got heavier.

 

Pecha pressed against Sleep's fur, wind blowing snow into his face. White blanketed the forest floor by a couple of inches already, the snow storm going full force on the pair as they stumbled through the new experience.

 

Step by step the two shivered against each other, every bush covered heavily in white and no burrow entrances lay beneath tree roots. They were trapped.

 

"D-do you s-s-see anyth-thing?" Sleep stutter, looking up at the night snow storm's clouds. Pecha just shook his head in response, burying his nose in his partner's fur.

 

Sleep suddenly stopped, fur bristling. Pecha looked up, fear filling his freezing body as a small figure approached. It looked similar sized to both of the eevees, but even with the two to one advantage, realizations flashed through both minds.

Neither of them had ever battled before.

 

Sleep still stood strong "who's t-there!" He barked confidently, ignoring the stutter.

 

The figure paused as though surprised, before suddenly hopping closer, right into view. Pecha and Sleep gaped.

 

It was another Eevee, but it's fur shone a light silvery gray, similar colored eyes squinting through the snow. It was a shiny Eevee, something they had only ever seen once and only for a short moment before Manti shut it into the house.

 

"Oh!" A chipper happy voice exclaimed, "what are you doing out here? I knew I saw something, but my friend didn't believe it. Come on, you need to get out of this before you freeze!" Pecha and Sleep exchanging a look.

 

"Y-your not bring-righing us to a trainer, right?" Pecha questioned, yet the silver Eevee only shook his head sadly.

 

"No, trainers are always trying to catch us for our fur alone. Really we can only trust each other. But if it's this bad outside I don't want to leave you two outside, that's just wrong" he smiled, turning away and flicking his tail for the two to follow.

 

And, after a moment of looking at each other, considering the options, Sleep and Pecha followed.

 

 

They stood before a great tree, it's massive trunk reaching to the cloud heavy sky. The snow still came down roughly, all three Eevee's coats bright white. Their mysterious cheerful lead shook out his fur before climbing up to a hole in the rough bark, slipping in. After a muffled exchange, the silver Eevee popped his head out again, beckoning below the the snow ridden Eevees to join.

 

The two shook out their pelts before leaping up, claws sinking into bark as they scrambled up. Pants escaped as they entered, exhausted and freezing cold. They looked up, hoping to thank their two hosts, only to go wide eyed once more.

 

Their savor was sitting next to another shiny Eevee.

 

The strange thing was though, this shiny had dark silver fur and eyes, not the common light silver.

 

Manti would have a fit knowing these two existed, especially knowing they will never have them.

 

"T-thank you for letting us stay the night" Pecha mumbled, sitting up from him ungraceful landing, Sleep sitting up behind "this is our first Winter, we only ever heard stories.."

 

Dark silver narrowed his eyes curiously "from the looks of it, you've never been exposed to the outdoors" Light poked him, resulting in Dark jumping in surprise.

 

"What he means to say, is it looks like you having some trouble. Did your trainer abandon you?" Pecha and Sleep looked at each other. They were these Eevee's guest, they may as well tell the full story.

 

"Well" Sleep started "it actually all started with me hatching.."

 

 

"So we've been travelling, looking for our friend" Sleep finished, pawing at the ground. The two Eevees looked shocked.

 

"There are farms just for breeding shinies?" Dark looked horrified, Light just shifted his paws in horror.

 

"Yes" Pecha confirmed, letting out a yawn "like we said, we've only ever seen one shiny Eevee before, so seeing both of you was a shock" the cave-like hole had piles of long grass laid across the floor, Sleep and Pecha curled together as the shinies mirrored. The two had always thought negative of Manti's actions, but they couldn't change it. They hoped their paths and Manti's never crossed again.

 

"Huh.." Light flicked his tail "so, you have nicknames, Pecha and Sleep, right?" Sleep nodded.

 

"Ya, when you live around so many Eevee's, it's just easier. Do you?" Dark shook his head "nicknames are a connection to trainers."

 

Things trailed off after that, with the dark sky starting to brighten outside. The snowy barely calmed throughout their story, so sleep was the only option.

 

Pecha curled around his partner, who started softly snoring only moments later. Nuzzling into the others pelt gave some comfort, nostalgia of the three curled next to their Pecha bush in a nest of bracken, leafs, and soft grass.

 

A tear rolled down his cheek, merging into the soft brown fur. They would find their Star, no matter what.

 

Someday.

 

______________________________

 

"Thank you for everything" Pecha purred, rubbing his cheek against Light. Sun shone down on all of their furs as if saying hello for the first time, the heavy snowstorm traces finally disappeared for good. It had only been a few weeks since they met, but both pairs would miss each other.

 

"No problem, it was berry nice to meet you Pecha!" Light giggled, returning the nudge, turning over to where Dark was training Sleep one last time. It had taken some time for Dark to fully trust them, but after Sleep and Pecha admitted they had never been in a battle before he sought to help teach some basics.

 

After some final words, Pecha and Sleep waved their tails in goodbye as the two pressed against each other, walking forwards, further away from their past.

 

Pecha didn't know if their paths would ever cross again, but he couldn't help but have a feeling their stories weren't finished with each other.

My story with google + since its ending soon

So, first things first. How did I get on google plus in the first place? Honestly I'm not fully sure, I think it was a mix of youtube being glued onto google plus, my brother using it, and maybe being lonely I don't fully know. I remember the first thing I did, it was basically add a bunch of pokemon stuff to my feed and follow my brother. Nothing much really happened then, but the more important part is what happened a little bit later, like a couple of months after I made the account. I found a group of people who roleplayed warrior cats. I know, warrior cats. I was intrigued by the thought of roleplaying, since it was like a joint story (in my eyes at least). I immediately joined and made my first oc ever. Her name was Ivy, she's a young cat who hated everything and everyone and was weirdly strong. I made her design in a dolldevine thing. Funny thing though, I didn't even read one book about warrior cats before I joined the group.

That was technically the first time I had internet friends. I remember thinking that everyone was like, cool older teenagers but I found out recently that the closest friend I had was literally 2 years older than me  so who would've thought. Eventually, the community got more and more inactive, and we just stopped. We stopped roleplaying with each other, and I think I was the only one who stuck with google plus from that group weirdly. This lasted until like, mid 2015 I wanna say? I dont't fully remember, but it doesn't fully matter, just by 2015 we split up.

So mid 2015 to early 2016 I literally remember nothing from them except liking minecraft youtubers (VAGUELY THO). All I do remember is getting kicked from this one group for breaking the rules once, but screw them right? I was messing around on youtube, and I found Jacksepticeyes playthrough of undertale in February of 2016. I fell in love with undertale. To be honest, I think that was one of the most intense hyper fixation I've ever had oopsie. I started following anything related to Undertale, including rp blogs since I knew what they were. Then I found someone who roleplayed Ink Sans.

Now about 7th grade me: I wasn't at the best place if I'm honest. I didn't have any friends, mostly what I did was read since I didn't have a phone at the time, I was extremely antisocial, and all I remember is like, the only time I had fun at school was watching the theatre kids dick around in theatre class even though I was too timid to actually say hi.

7th grade me was a different person than now me, even though I still have some traits from older me. But hey we ain't here to hear kit talk about how she thinks her life changed and junk we here about g+ baybee

So when I found this Ink Sans roleplayer, I checked out their blog since I was really into undertale aus and Ink Sans was new to me. I immediately followed after I saw their content. I was in awe, this person was a great rper, was everything 7th grade me wished to be (funny, confident, friendly, all that good jazz), and they liked undertale. I started commenting on their post, and we became friends. I remember becoming friends with them, and befriending their friends. I still know who they are to this day, and I still follow them even if we're not really friends anymore. Eventually the Ink Sans rper made a group where their friends hung out, and you can imagine how shocked and excited I was. Who'd like plain old Kit, all she does is read. But nevertheless, I dedicated the good chunk of 2016 in that group.

Overtime, I learned everyones name and stopped referring to them as their character. Ink Sans's mun's name was Uki, a Gaster Sans became Izzy, a Flowey became a Cy, etc etc. Everyone was older than me, I was the youngest in the group. I remember good things about that place, but one thing I don't remember is how horny e veryone was besides me. Lowkey I think because of skeleporn that they posted that I use to get fluseterd when thinking of sans f. So people were chilling on the server, then Uki got into homestuck. SHe got the others into homestuck, and I believe I was the last one to get into it (mostly because of my brother lol). So we all were posting about homestuck, and as a joke, Uki invited as many Eridan rpers to the server (since she had a crush on eridan lol) and eventually a dude named Myth joined. I'm a mutual to him on tumblr now so thats poppin. Myth is a good friend but he wasn't the quietest person. Eventually because of how rowdy it got, Uki's mom found out about the server and banned her from social media.

Everyone was devastated after that, especially her boyfriend Cy, and that launched the group into a weird limbo where we'd talk to each other and still be friends outside of the group, but not actually be active in the group. Officially it died in summer of 2016, but if I had to say when it died, I would say late winter after Uki left it died. 2016 came and went, and now its 2017 with a good chunk of friends still being into homestuck, so we decided to start roleplaying together as homestuck ocs. That's when things get weird and take a turn towards the sour.

So Izzy, the person who was gaster, started dating this papyrus roleplayer, who we called pap. Myth Introduced us to some more people and then yeah. OH WAIT I FORGOT TO MENTION LOGAN AND LGBT! So this group was the first time I figured out that the lgbt community existed, and Logan was a Pansexual gal who had a lot of drama irl but overall was pretty chill. BACK TO THE STORY!

So everyone had an oc, and everyone was at various places in their roleplaying life. Some people they were great at it, some people didn't start rping until the group started, some people were rusty at it but has some expirence (that twas me).  Because of this group I opened up MSPaint and actually figured out how it worked and start using it. It was fun but some people were..... unsavory to be kind. What I'm going to say in the spoilers contains tw of being sexually gross and suicide.

Around spring Izzy and Pap's relationship started getting shakey, and Izzy wanted to break up with Pap. At the time I had no idea what happened, but apparently Pap threatened Izzy with suicide if she did break up with him.  Izzy told Logan about it, and Logan told everyone to unfollow him. I didn't since I didn't know what was happening, but Pap was shunned from the group and I have no idea what they're doing today. It was a good thing to, his character were gross. Again, I didn't realize it at the time but like, his homestuck characters were fucking WILD. If I remember correctly (and i do) one of his characters tried to hump other characters and yeah that was bad. I made my character punch him and was bout to rip off his troll dick so yeah I did register that that was bad, but I didn't realize the gravity of it. Also another one of his characters kidnapped another character and had them as a sex slave maybe? yeah so good riddance to him.

Tl;DR Pap was gross and bad, so he's gone.

So like, late 2017, the rp group went inactive and some people I still know and talk to. A guy called Muff that joined later is still a good friend of mine. But that split up, and each person just stopped using google+ all together. All that really stayed was Myth, Izzy, and Muff. Logan had something happened with an ex and now deleted her account. I don't know what happened to her, all that she's safe. Cy just slowly moved to a new site, and we didn't stay in contact. 2018 rolled in, and I decided to be more out there and like, try to actually do things irl so that's where I changed from middle school Kit to Kit right now. I still used google+, I found some more friends whom are way better than some of the people who I interreacted with in 2017. Nothing eventful happened that year, but it was an amazing year nevertheless. Now early summer 2018 happened and i found jojo's bizarre adventure, and to my surprise some of my newer friends liked jojo! So we bonded over that, somehow passed them while reading/watching it, and life is going good. Then the announcement thhat google+ is ending happened.

Everyone, and when I say everyone I mean everyone, freaked out. A little bit about google+ culture is that you can literally become friends with everyone no matter follower count or post, it was a great place to make friends. Everyone was in a tizy about how they were going to keep their friends since nobody wanted to lose them. Another thing about google+ culture is how terrible the site is. To anyone here who's familiar with tumblr, imagine the tumblr staff but they dont fix bugs and don't care much about the site, and that's honestly the google+ staff. So everyone jokes about how the site is bad, there was a meme that was created to poke fun at the bugs (it was gold stars), and everyone said "when will this god forsaken site ended". Literally at first nobody knew if the announcement was real or not thats how much people joked about the end of google plus.

According to an article, the original end date was going to be in August. This was announced early this year, so people had time to plug other social media and things like that. But, that wasn't the fate of google+. Somehow someone leaked information about some users, so the google+ team decided to end it earlier. Tomorrow google plus won't be google plus, it'll be google business. Luckily I got peoples twitter and tumblr and all that jazz but.... damn. Who would've thought that google plus would end. None of us certainly did.

[sege-h]

Man it feels like everything around me, site-wise, is burning And I’m here screaming about pokemon

But like

You guys dont understand ive been going nuts for like 3 weeks now?

It doesn’t even have anything to do with the Let’s GO! games comin out or the detective pikachu trailer

Because I was goin nuts some days before that

Like listen my love for pokemon is always there. But like yknow when you already like something, but sometimes that love hits you like a train and ur like I LOVE THIS THING to borderline obsessive levels.

I think its smth like hyperfocusing but not like...on a task. Just. On an interest? Idk

BUT since I live here, I have no outlet for it. I cant just be like ‘ok lemmie just go to the store and buy a pikachu plush’ THERE IS NO SUCH THING

I cant even be like ‘hey I’ve wanted to play Omega Ruby since it came out, now that I’m Like This maybe I should finally get it with my next paycheck’

NOPE

I’D L O V E TO PLAY OR

BUT I HAVENT EVEN SEEN A PHYSICAL COPY HERE, WHICH IS WHAT I WANT

With my next paychesk I might see if the board/card game store has Pokemon cards. Word is that they have them again, but just full on decks now, and not booster packs too like they used to.

(a couple months ago I posted on here that I found Pokemon cards that didn’t seem like a bootlegs, but forgot to do a follow up post like a dingus. Turns out they were bootlegs, but very good ones. The cut of the cards is only SLIGHTLY off, the names and moves are good. But the flavor text reads like something outta the Vietnamese Pokemon Hack (my fave is the one for Nosepas. The other ones at least have words and a bit of effort. Nosepas gets ‘A Pokemon. aaaaaaaaaaa’ SHDGSH) AND some of the cards are ones that haven’t been released outside of Japan so far as far as I know. And some cards are meant to be holo-cards but arent. BUT, oddly enough, I’m p sure the box does come from a legit set. AND one of the cards inside seems to have slipped under the radar because it had the shine it was meant to have, the cut was right, and the flavor text was the only one that wasn’t near jibberish. Weird )

This weekend I was so desperate to have something Pokemon related to do, that I took my cards, alphabetized them, and also had each letter be sorted by gen.

This weekend I also decided I wanna look thru my pokemon sticker albums, of which I have two. And I cant find them anywhere????

Mom n me looked everywhere possible. In a box we found EVERY single sticker album I’ve ever had, including a Digimon one.

And I can tell exactly what happened when we were cleaning up and initially put those albums in that box.

I was probably like ‘I love these Pokemon albums the most, and will be likely that I’d wanna look thru them sometime. I’d rather they be somewhere more accessible than a box under a bunch of other stuff’

N we were probably like ‘YEAH OK LETS PUT EM SOMEWHERE MORE ACCESSIBLE!’

...anD NOW NEITHER OF US REMEMBERS WHERE THAT IS

Some part of me is paranoid that maybe we made them TOO accessible, and while I was out, some kid came here and found them and liked them and my grandma was like ‘sURE, TAKE THEM, I’M SURE TEA WOULDN’T WANT THOSE ANYMORE 8)’ and now years after it’s like her last ‘fuck you’ from beyond the grave.

But that’s not the case, or at least I hope it isn’t

It is possible that I took this scenario into consideration years ago, and put them somewhere I thought would be easy to remember/accessible for me, and yet hidden for others.

aND NOW I CANT REMEMBER AND ITS HIDDEN FOR ME TOO

DAMMIT, PAST ME, I DONT KNOW WHAT YOU DID, BUT YOU FUCKED UP. WHERE MY POKEMON ALBUMS AT?

[tumblunni]

Okay the BIG TODAY THING

It seems i might possibly be gone for six months

I've been talking with my support worker about taking a course at this place thats uhh apparantly gonna help me get better with the depressions and stuff. And we had a meeting to go look around the place and make introductions and stuff but i had NO IDEA it would be all such short notice! I might have to move in IN TWO DAYS FROM NOW, what the fuck!!! And like if its not that its gonna be at the end of the week or next tuesday at the latest. Im so fuckin unprepared and im really freakin out!!

..uhh...how to describe it..well i guess its literally a mental asylum? But it's absolutely NOTHING like the horror movie stereotype! Its not a hospital with cages or locked rooms, its just like a big comfy cute shared house. Like a bunch of completely normal small apartment rooms but they just happen to be all connected to a shared kitchen and stuff and have on site nurses and a big schedule of therapy sessions and group activities like pottery class or bowling. You have the freedom to come and go as you please if you're on "voluntarily admitted" status (that's me!) and even if you're on what they call "sectioned" its still not scary loss of all your freedom. The highest level of sectioning is just like "requires an escort"? You're still allowed to go outside but you have a higher level of supervision from your key worker because you could potentially be a danger to yourself. But that's very rare and most people are only on maximum sectioning for a few weeks at the start of their treatment, if they've come straight from a situation of self harm or other concern factors. Most of the "sectioned" patients just have a time limit on how long they can spend on unsupervised outside activity. It's a pretty generous 8 hours apparantly!

So yeah i was getting worried about nothing, thinking i was gonna be in big scary solitary confinement and locked inside a tiny broom closet or jabbed with brain lazers. It honestly just seems like a summer camp resort for adults! And everyone there seems very nice, and im excited for being able to learn life skills like cooking and potential steps towards getting educational qualifications someday. And to have the help of a more specialist support worker who can assist me with even the smallest little problems. Like this nice lady Tazmin (who might be the one i get?) was saying how they've had other people with social anxiety before, and how we could plan "gradual exposure" to all the things that scare me. Like she said she'd be able to come with me and we'd take the bus and them get off at the next stop. That'd honestly be really helpful to help me get over being scared of the crowded spaces on buses, but i'd never be able to do it normally cos i'd be too embarassed taking such a short bus ride. Plus well itd be a waste of money,but if i'm a patient here i would get a free bus pass so it wouldnt be a problem.

Oh and the area seems really nice! Its so different from my stupid house right now in a crowded neighbourhood with NOTHING but houses everywhere for a mile! Its seriously almost a mile's walk to the ONE SINGULAR SHOP IN THE AREA and they close on sundays and dont sell vegetarian food. :( This area around the shared house thingie is a really nice bustling shops place but not super shops? Like i mean its a lovely village that has all the small shops you need, not a huge skyscrapers busy tourist place. The perfect balance of conveinient and not scary! They have a library and a park so close to the place, and a bazillion charity shops holy FUCK im so excited to have charity shops again!! I think you call them thrift shops in america? But i just always really love bargain hunting and finding nice surprises in places like that! And there's places to do pottery classes and group trips sometimes to do stuff like cinema or bowling or just having your big ol scary therapy meeting at the nice coffee shop at the end ot the road.

So yeah dont worry about me guys, im not trapped in some horribke hell place! I'm sure it'll be as non threatening as an Intensive Therapy Boot Camp can possibly be, im just still nervous as hell cos well yeah I Have Social Anxiety And That Is Why I Am Here In The First Place. Im scared im not gonna be able to succeed at this. I really wanna leave at the end and be all mentally buffed up and ready to make all these nice nurses proud!

Oh and man Richard has been so nice about this?? He was super freaked out and apologetic about it being Scary Short Notice, we had a bit of a dumb misunderstanding where he clearly told me and i clearly said yes but i somehow completely misunderstood what he was saying and thought i was saying yes to something else??? So im so fuckin glad that at the very end of the appointment right when i was gonna get out the car he was like 'oh so remember your suitcase on wednesday' and i was like WHAT. Like man can you imagine how much more terrifying it would have been if i just turned up on wednesday with no supplies but the shirt off my back and was like 'wtf where is he driving me OH GOD NO'. Bunni why you so bad at the good of talking!! Seriously richard thanks so much for clearing it up but also AAAAA i accidentally agreed to the shortest of short notice and i dont know if he's gonna be able to reschedule it!!!

And man i was there crying in his car about how i dont wanna be in hospital on my birthday, and babbling all the different things i had planned fot the next few months. And GOD DAMN MY DUMB BRAIN i ended up blurting out that i had a preorder of a videogame that i was gonna miss. And i straight up started explaining pokemon to my mental health counseller who is also a dj, how damn fake does my life sound?? Anyway he said that i'll still be able to keep him as my support worker when i get back out of this, and we'll still have weekly or monthly meetings while i'm in there. And he keeps reminding me that i'm free to leave if i feel uncomfortable, but i know that i'd feel like a failure if i did! So he legit fuckin goddamn said (THIS SOUNDS SO FAKE) that i could take a day off when the dumb game comes out, and he'd play co op pokemon with me. HOLY GEEZUS RICHARD YOU'RE LIKE THAT HOLY GRAIL OF THERAPISTS! And man he even said it wasnt embarassing for me to sleep with a teddy bear and he'd help me pack it up safe and ensure nobody saw it while we move my bags into my new room. And then i was like "uhh but also the teddy bear is a giant lifesize embarassing pokemon merchandise" and he was like "okay so we need DOUBLE STEALTH". Apparantly the new sequel to Pokemon Go is Pokemon Sneak! God he helped calm me down from this freakout so much, he's always great with lil jokes and motivational sayings. And i talked about how i first started being interested in Obscure Deep Sea Slug Facts because pokemon has some characters based on weird real life animals, and like its Very Educational Honest, And Has Appeal For Both Kids And Adults. How on earth did this turn into Motovational Pokemon Blabber Time??? Anyway thats how i ended up texting a professional psychologist pictures of gastrodon at 7.30pm.

SO

Yeah

In summary

I'm mostly just worried cos this is short notice! And cos its such a big commitment that being short notice is Super Bad. I need to friggin clean the whole house top to bottom in two days, so it doesnt get all gross and attract flies while im gone. And i need to toss out like a hundred bucks worth of frozen food that aint gonna keep for 6 months. And i need to wash all my damn clothes. And i dont even have a suitcase and this is at a terrible time where i dont get paid for a week so i cant buy a new one right now!! And damn i DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT TO TAKE AAAAAA

And the BIGGEST PROBLEM

Is that i wont be able to talk to you guys for half a year!!!

They dont have wifi and im not allowed to take my computer anyway. They only allow laptops and all i have is a desktop and AAAA its too short notice to save up enough to get a laptop mannnnn! Fuck man i didnt even think about that, i need to go pause my broadband internet for six months, do they even allow you to come back after that long?? And man part of me wants to ask to borrow money from friends to get a laptop but i know this time i cant promise to pay you back within the month cos AAAGH ALL OF THIS SHIT!! Like damn man if anyone is willing to let me pay back a hundred and fifty quid in 6 months??not bloody likely!! And man the only place to get a laptop in TWO GODDAMN DAYS is stupid fuckin Amazon :( but god im gonna go stir crazy being unable to do art or gamemaking or friggin anything to occupy myself!! I can bring my 3ds but i barely have any games for it and ive already finished all of them except harvest moon a new beginning which i quit cos it was bad. And the screen is broken anyway gahhh. SO MANY THINGS I NEED MONEY FOR IN SUCH A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME THAT IS NON CONDUCTIVE TO MONEYING

So anyway GAHH i wont have an internet connection in the house, and i'll be able to walk down the hill and use the library computers hopefully at least weekly, but they forbid all social media sites. So like can i get the emails of everyone who wants to keep in contact? Man i dont know how im gonna manage this AAAAA!!! i will send u loads of pics of scenic asylum beauty and dumb updates on my stupid life of probably very little progress.

And AGGGHHH i dont even have the time to plan a blog queue or anything fuck man geez aaaaaaaa

I NEED TO BUY A NEW PAIR OF TROUSERS WITHOUT HOLES IN THE KNEES man i cant live on singular pantage in a shared house

Oct 15 Dancitron Movie Night - Bridge Of Spies

Prompted by the movie, Prowl and Soundwave had some discussions about how moral it is for punish the wicked outside of strictly legal proceedings. Lots of deep conversation about laws and morality. Prowl somehow managed to not tell Soundwave his personal moral stance on the topic.

Today NoodlesAtNight 7:40 pm *Soundwave puts the last of the couches down and plops himself in place without a word. He's here for this intrigue business, more than he is for most other things.

Don't they have to send him home? [how do human laws work???] verdigrisprowl 8:52 pm I believe that personal benefit is an integral part of the definition of corruption.

He is, indeed, actually guilty of the crime of which he's being accused. thebestdecepticonleader 9:01 pm Are we 100% sure he is a spy and not falsely accused?

For the record.]] *And back to settle.* [[But if he had.]] verdigrisprowl 10:53 pm I suppose I'd have to arrest you, wouldn't I? NoodlesAtNight 10:53 pm [[With a proper warrant, he assumes.]] verdigrisprowl 10:53 pm Of /course./ NoodlesAtNight 10:53 pm [[And after that? What would you wish to see happen?]] NoodlesAtNight 10:54 pm [[And how would he be treated in prison?]] verdigrisprowl 10:54 pm ... How insulted are you going to be if I say "you in jail for your crimes"? NoodlesAtNight 10:56 pm [[He would be more insulted if you didn't. He does not expect specialized treatment from you. That you know when to put what is good before his personal connection to you is one of the things he trusts most.]] [[But he hopes you would want it done fairly. That he would be allowed a Donovan.]] [[And not a judge such as the one portrayed.]] verdigrisprowl 10:58 pm Of course I would want it done fairly. Although ideally your Donovan wouldn't have anything about the procedure to try to appeal. NoodlesAtNight 10:59 pm [[Ideally. If you were the one in charge of it, he is sure they would not. But - assuming an underling botched it. ... What then?]] NoodlesAtNight 11:00 pm *Does not wish to move from his spot; twists a feeler around to look at Prowl instead.* verdigrisprowl 11:02 pm *he's quiet a moment. and then lets out a long, hard sigh.* If I'm to remain committed to my current path—the charges... would have to be dropped. NoodlesAtNight 11:03 pm [[But you would not like it.]] *He knows that sigh. He knows it well.* verdigrisprowl 11:03 pm Do you know why Megatron is locked up in Metroplex, instead of sentenced and dealt with? NoodlesAtNight 11:03 pm [[Because neither he nor Starscream know where the mech is yet.]] verdigrisprowl 11:04 pm Do you know why Megatron /was put/ in Metroplex, instead of sentenced and dealt with? NoodlesAtNight 11:05 pm [[Ah.]] *That is a different question altogether.* [[He knows it is something to do with the Knights of Cybertron. The rest? He is still trying to understand all that went into what little he has scraped together about that trial.]] *In other words: Not quite, no.* NoodlesAtNight 11:06 pm [[Surprisingly few mechs care to discuss it with him. Something about Soundwaves being untrustworthy loyalists.]] *Rattle vent snort.* verdigrisprowl 11:07 pm Because Megatron asked for the trial to be moved to Luna Two. And, when he lost pleasure in the direction the trial was moving, revealed that he knew of an ancient Luna Two law that said crimes over a certain threshold are so severe they may be only judged by the Knights of Cybertron. He did this so that he could delay the trial indefinitely—stick himself in legal limbo where his trial cannot continue. verdigrisprowl 11:08 pm His defense attorney refused to allow the trial to be relocated to Cybertron, where the law doesn't apply, so that we could properly sentence him for all that /genocide/ he committed. His defense attorney was obeying the law. His defense attorney was doing his job. Was he promoting justice? Was he doing the RIGHT thing? The CORRECT thing? verdigrisprowl 11:09 pm Because he did the LEGAL thing—because he DID HIS JOB—Megatron has escaped sentencing for crimes that everyone, EVERYONE, knows beyond the slightest shadow of a doubt that he committed. verdigrisprowl 11:10 pm Is that /ethical/? Obedience to the law above all else? NoodlesAtNight 11:11 pm [[Ah. You throw one of his oldest questions for you back at him. He accepts it.]] *And lifts a finger to his mask, thinking.* NoodlesAtNight 11:12 pm [[There is nothing that limits the application of the Luna Two law? Nothing concerning where the crimes were committed, nothing about whether the mech is a citizen, nothing more modern overriding it? Was it proven to have been on the books at all?]] verdigrisprowl 11:14 pm Megatron followed the letter of the law. You're dodging the question by trying to find out whether what he did might have been illegal. I'm asking you whether or not it's more important to do what's legal than to continue with the sentencing of a genocidal warlord who has a habit of slipping out of prison if you give him enough time to think up how to do it. verdigrisprowl 11:15 pm Don't reframe the question. NoodlesAtNight 11:15 pm [[No, he is asking to find out whether the defense attorney WAS doing his job.]] verdigrisprowl 11:16 pm He was. You're still trying to reframe the question. NoodlesAtNight 11:18 pm [[He is not. If the mech playing defense attorney erred, then it is not a matter of strict obedience of the law. If that is so, then this is an invalid example, and it is possible to get around Megatron's scheming. Which, you can imagine, he would love to do. Since you insist it is not, then he did do the job, and he must think about the example exactly as presented. He dislikes answering things he does not have a full story for, when those answers are available. So...]] verdigrisprowl 11:19 pm There—right there! You are! I laid out the scenario and you're questioning me about loopholes! If there were a loophole to every moral quandary there wouldn't BE moral quandaries because we could just loophole our way out of them! verdigrisprowl 11:20 pm Do you have to test every angle on the structure of the example before answering it on the terms as they've been laid out? verdigrisprowl 11:21 pm What would you have done if I'd gone "oh, yeah, no, we actually DON'T know whether or not that law is real," called us idiots for not checking and then refused to answer the original question all together because it's now been made "invalid" by your standards? NoodlesAtNight 11:22 pm [[He would not have called you idiots. Putting the mech in temporary holding while you investigate is perfectly fine. And he doesn't know if he would have answered. He might have answered /both/ forms of it. As he has been thinking of doing.]] verdigrisprowl 11:22 pm DO you think we're idiots that didn't check? Do you think /I/ didn't search for every single loophole that could have possibly wiggled us out of the corner that he pushed us into? NoodlesAtNight 11:24 pm [[He doesn't /know/. He was not /here/ then. He does not know what you did in response to that revelation, or if you are still having to try to do it. Perhaps he would have offered /assistance/ if it had been necessary!]] NoodlesAtNight 11:25 pm [[For Primus' sake, he only received a full copy of the Tyrest Accord from you last week.]] verdigrisprowl 11:25 pm The Tyrest Accord is in the public domain! NoodlesAtNight 11:25 pm [[Do you think he would /trust/ the copies anyone else has?]] verdigrisprowl 11:26 pm ... /It's in the public domain/! You can—look it up in public—/everyone agrees/ to it, why the /hell/ would somebody—what good would anybody get from an /inaccurate/— verdigrisprowl 11:27 pm /Who the hell do you think would/— verdigrisprowl 11:27 pm *he's flabbergasted. he's completely gasted his flabber. he cannot, he is unable to can.* NoodlesAtNight 11:27 pm [[A scheming Megatron about to face imprisonment, exile, or death for his genocides with someone like his alternate at his side?]] verdigrisprowl 11:27 pm *at this point he's just sort of gesturing in bafflement* NoodlesAtNight 11:28 pm [[The faction was not called the Truthicons.]] [[But, as you present it--]] verdigrisprowl 11:28 pm ... There—are— *gestures vaguely toward outer space* NoodlesAtNight 11:44 pm [[If every action taken was found to be by the book, and everything Megatron claimed is true, then... then Megatron escapes his punishment, yes. But only for now. Laws written without multiversal contacts in mind cannot exclude them; the law will right itself as soon as we locate the /other/ Knights we know to exist.]]

[[...Even if that were not so, he has recently toyed with the idea that those who uphold the laws as strictly as you expect may be balanced by those who will sacrifice themselves to that law to speed what it must take a mech like you longer to correct. If Megatron lingers forever, and a mech terminates him, that mech may be given a trial of their own. Then all things are made right.]]

[[He does not /know/ if it was right, or correct. He is still struggling to find out what right and correct /is/. He thinks that there were /worse/ ways to have handled it. He thinks there are many things that could have been done that were made for mechs like him to bear, and not mechs l NoodlesAtNight 11:45 pm like you.]]

[[But he cannot say for certain. This is why he asks you these things, and speaks with you about them.... when our temperaments and our contrasting views do not get in the way.]] NoodlesAtNight 11:46 pm [[He wanted to know what /you/ thought. Whether /you/ would be displeased. Not what he thought of it. He knows what he would do, and it is not by the law.]] verdigrisprowl 11:49 pm *listens quietly; huffs at the ending.* You were quite pleased when /this/ *he nods at the screen* went by the law. And cried "corruption" at someone who was bending the law to try to make his conviction faster and easier. So why is the judge corrupt whereas somebody who martyrs himself to the law in order to execute Megatron correct? Because the spy was more sympathetic than Megatron? Because you dislike judges more than you dislike desperate assassins? verdigrisprowl 11:52 pm I don't think anything. Rather, I can think at any point of the spectrum—from "any means are justified by the end" to "the law above and beyond all else." I pick and choose where I'm going to sit on that spectrum because I have been forced, quite unhappily, to see the merits and drawbacks to every point on it. NoodlesAtNight 11:53 pm [[The judge swore to uphold his duty, not to be /him/. If the judge wants to corrupt himself, then he may announce what he has done afterward and be taken to task for it. That would, however, undo what was already decided, and a better judge would be found. Then the outcome might be whatever it could have been had the judge done his duty properly. The final result is that the correct actions by what he swore to do all lead to a fair trial, and if that is so, then denying that and not announcing himself makes him unworthy of his robes.]] verdigrisprowl 11:54 pm But I think there's something... hypocritical, in being able to look at Megatron's trial with nuance—in being able to see that it might become necessary and even correct for someone to go outside the law in order to get rid of him—while utterly decrying the judge without considering that his position may be necessary and even correct. NoodlesAtNight 11:54 pm [[And,]] *soft huff* [[you are right. He is somewhat in favor of the spy, for obvious reasons.]] verdigrisprowl 11:54 pm And I think it says more about your opinion on judges than it does about any moral position. NoodlesAtNight 11:55 pm [[But he, at least, is more honest about being dishonest.]] verdigrisprowl 11:55 pm Oh, well, that makes it alright. NoodlesAtNight 11:55 pm [[It does not.]] NoodlesAtNight 11:57 pm [[But he prefers mechs who are honest about their dishonesty over those who are dishonest about their honesty. At least with the former you know they may not always be trusted. The spy may be a spy; what damage the judge does, we may never know.]] verdigrisprowl 11:58 pm The damage he did was convicting a spy. And /not/ knowing what else he may or may not have done—I cannot fault /that/. What damage the spy does, we may never know, no matter how honest he is about being a spy. verdigrisprowl 11:59 pm The spy isn't better. NoodlesAtNight 11:59 pm [[Then both are wrong.]] Today verdigrisprowl 12:01 am ... Bold words from a spymaster. NoodlesAtNight 12:02 am [[Who has never laid claim to being a lawful, moral, wholesome mech. Merely one who is as honest as he can be about what he /is/.]]

[[He did suggest he was toying with the idea that it would be right for him to be punished if he terminated Megatron, after all.]] verdigrisprowl 12:03 am Toying with. *huff.* You sounded pretty certain earlier. verdigrisprowl 12:04 am ... For the record, don't go try to execute Megatron. NoodlesAtNight 12:05 am [[His mind can be changed, in either direction, with evidence.]] *Small shoulder shrug.* [[For now, that is the idea he is temporarily holding.]]

[[And he couldn't even if he'd planned to try. He has no idea where the mech is.]] verdigrisprowl 12:06 am Mm, well. Somebody does. NoodlesAtNight 12:06 am [[...But if it came to the two of us, he would prefer you weren't the one who did it.]] [[For what that is worth.]] [[And yes. Somebody does.]] verdigrisprowl 12:07 am ... When I made the decision that I wasn't going to be law-abiding, the statement I was making was /not/ "I think other people should be the ones to do the dirty work." NoodlesAtNight 12:07 am [[He knows. You do not want to be Optimus.]]

Don't they have to send him home? [how do human laws work???] verdigrisprowl 8:52 pm I believe that personal benefit is an integral part of the definition of corruption. OmicronTheIceQueen 8:52 pm *hopes she's been raising her broods well...* MedicalMurdersaurus 8:52 pm *dives after her with a shriek* verdigrisprowl 8:52 pm The judge's conduct was horrible, but it didn't come with a personal benefit.

He is, indeed, actually guilty of the crime of which he's being accused. thebestdecepticonleader 9:01 pm Are we 100% sure he is a spy and not falsely accused? SpecsTheSpectralDragon 9:01 pm Spies happen. Wherever there are secrets, people want to learn them. They still deserve to be treated justly. verdigrisprowl 9:02 pm Well, yes, we saw him in the middle of spy work. They found the evidence. They found the evidence illegally, but they found the evidence. SpecsTheSpectralDragon 9:02 pm Goddess, who would do that?

He should have been arrested with all the proper warrants, and his defense should have been given the adequate time to prepare the defense. NoodlesAtNight 9:04 pm [[...Thank you, Jazz.]] verdigrisprowl 9:04 pm And then he should have been convicted for his crimes. NoodlesAtNight 9:04 pm [[He was not, however.

Make him more inclined to rush through things. Make his thoughts clouded with sickness.]] thebestdecepticonleader 9:41 pm Maybe it was a nice coat? verdigrisprowl 9:41 pm To make him impatient?

I wonder what point he's trying to make. verdigrisprowl 9:55 pm Is he trying to scare into compliance or scare him into leaving? OmicronTheIceQueen 9:55 pm possibly both?

Grab a plate and take it with you. opatoes 9:59 pm I want a breakfast like that NoodlesAtNight 9:59 pm [[What good would it do you? It is organic.]] UnkillableJazz 10:00 pm Good back-bone he's growing verdigrisprowl 10:00 pm He never lacked for one. Darkscream 10:01 pm *Hey Smokey.

NoodlesAtNight 10:17 pm [[A shake would legitimize them, he thinks. They still did not come out quite the victor they had hoped. Clever...]] verdigrisprowl 10:17 pm Yes, it would have legitimized them. It would have given them what they wanted out of this exchange. verdigrisprowl 10:18 pm Now they've learned, when they make deals with Americans, the Americans will not give them what they want. And so maybe they shouldn't make deals with them. UnkillableJazz 10:18 pm Ah. Abel will die then NoodlesAtNight 10:18 pm [[Ah. Poor Abel.]] SpecsTheSpectralDragon 10:18 pm To be fair, the Americans very nearly didn't get what they wanted. verdigrisprowl 10:18 pm But they did, plus a bonus. NoodlesAtNight 10:18 pm [[And yes.

SCProwl 10:26 pm A decent sort of human. UnkillableJazz 10:26 pm I can dig it Swerester 10:26 pm Huh. OmicronTheIceQueen 10:26 pm Racer: *arches wings into the pat* UnkillableJazz 10:26 pm Master negotiator verdigrisprowl 10:26 pm I'm sure the other side is determined to not let them go.

UnkillableJazz 10:33 pm Well. I gotta go soon. *He's got an armful of pillows. like 5 of them* Darkscream 10:33 pm *Giratina did come with the Seeker, but currently she's out with the Dinobot, so...

No, don't think so.» OmicronTheIceQueen 10:40 pm How many pillows do you have Swerve? Swerester 10:40 pm Someone gave me fifty so I brought half. NoodlesAtNight 10:40 pm @Smokescreen: [[...Yes. But quietly. The two of us. Middle of the week. Bring the sword game as well.]] *Soundwave looks around a little, confused by the voice. There's only one extra being here, though, so... focusing on the Giratina, then? How odd.* [[...Correct.]] NoodlesAtNight 10:41 pm ((four minutes!)) opatoes 10:41 pm Sure, that sounds good to me. I can bring some music to share with you, too. OmicronTheIceQueen 10:41 pm O_o well....my crew loves them. more so the workers. they help isolate the little femmes. *is he giving all away or trading?* Swerester 10:41 pm Well, if no one else wants one then you can have whatever's left of the pile.

And now he can have his /preferred/ pillow, and not just the one behind his neck.

For the record.]] *And back to settle.* [[But if he had.]] verdigrisprowl 10:53 pm I suppose I'd have to arrest you, wouldn't I? NoodlesAtNight 10:53 pm [[With a proper warrant, he assumes.]] verdigrisprowl 10:53 pm Of /course./ NoodlesAtNight 10:53 pm [[And after that? What would you wish to see happen?]] NoodlesAtNight 10:54 pm [[And how would he be treated in prison?]] verdigrisprowl 10:54 pm ... How insulted are you going to be if I say "you in jail for your crimes"? NoodlesAtNight 10:56 pm [[He would be more insulted if you didn't. He does not expect specialized treatment from you. That you know when to put what is good before his personal connection to you is one of the things he trusts most.]] [[But he hopes you would want it done fairly. That he would be allowed a Donovan.]] [[And not a judge such as the one portrayed.]] verdigrisprowl 10:58 pm Of course I would want it done fairly. Although ideally your Donovan wouldn't have anything about the procedure to try to appeal. NoodlesAtNight 10:59 pm [[Ideally. If you were the one in charge of it, he is sure they would not. But - assuming an underling botched it. ... What then?]] NoodlesAtNight 11:00 pm *Does not wish to move from his spot; twists a feeler around to look at Prowl instead.* verdigrisprowl 11:02 pm *he's quiet a moment. and then lets out a long, hard sigh.* If I'm to remain committed to my current path—the charges... would have to be dropped. NoodlesAtNight 11:03 pm [[But you would not like it.]] *He knows that sigh. He knows it well.* verdigrisprowl 11:03 pm Do you know why Megatron is locked up in Metroplex, instead of sentenced and dealt with? NoodlesAtNight 11:03 pm [[Because neither he nor Starscream know where the mech is yet.]] verdigrisprowl 11:04 pm Do you know why Megatron /was put/ in Metroplex, instead of sentenced and dealt with? NoodlesAtNight 11:05 pm [[Ah.]] *That is a different question altogether.* [[He knows it is something to do with the Knights of Cybertron. The rest? He is still trying to understand all that went into what little he has scraped together about that trial.]] *In other words: Not quite, no.* NoodlesAtNight 11:06 pm [[Surprisingly few mechs care to discuss it with him. Something about Soundwaves being untrustworthy loyalists.]] *Rattle vent snort.* verdigrisprowl 11:07 pm Because Megatron asked for the trial to be moved to Luna Two. And, when he lost pleasure in the direction the trial was moving, revealed that he knew of an ancient Luna Two law that said crimes over a certain threshold are so severe they may be only judged by the Knights of Cybertron. He did this so that he could delay the trial indefinitely—stick himself in legal limbo where his trial cannot continue. verdigrisprowl 11:08 pm His defense attorney refused to allow the trial to be relocated to Cybertron, where the law doesn't apply, so that we could properly sentence him for all that /genocide/ he committed. His defense attorney was obeying the law. His defense attorney was doing his job. Was he promoting justice? Was he doing the RIGHT thing? The CORRECT thing? verdigrisprowl 11:09 pm Because he did the LEGAL thing—because he DID HIS JOB—Megatron has escaped sentencing for crimes that everyone, EVERYONE, knows beyond the slightest shadow of a doubt that he committed. verdigrisprowl 11:10 pm Is that /ethical/? Obedience to the law above all else? NoodlesAtNight 11:11 pm [[Ah. You throw one of his oldest questions for you back at him. He accepts it.]] *And lifts a finger to his mask, thinking.* NoodlesAtNight 11:12 pm [[There is nothing that limits the application of the Luna Two law? Nothing concerning where the crimes were committed, nothing about whether the mech is a citizen, nothing more modern overriding it? Was it proven to have been on the books at all?]] verdigrisprowl 11:14 pm Megatron followed the letter of the law. You're dodging the question by trying to find out whether what he did might have been illegal. I'm asking you whether or not it's more important to do what's legal than to continue with the sentencing of a genocidal warlord who has a habit of slipping out of prison if you give him enough time to think up how to do it. verdigrisprowl 11:15 pm Don't reframe the question. NoodlesAtNight 11:15 pm [[No, he is asking to find out whether the defense attorney WAS doing his job.]] verdigrisprowl 11:16 pm He was. You're still trying to reframe the question. NoodlesAtNight 11:18 pm [[He is not. If the mech playing defense attorney erred, then it is not a matter of strict obedience of the law. If that is so, then this is an invalid example, and it is possible to get around Megatron's scheming. Which, you can imagine, he would love to do. Since you insist it is not, then he did do the job, and he must think about the example exactly as presented. He dislikes answering things he does not have a full story for, when those answers are available. So...]] verdigrisprowl 11:19 pm There—right there! You are! I laid out the scenario and you're questioning me about loopholes! If there were a loophole to every moral quandary there wouldn't BE moral quandaries because we could just loophole our way out of them! verdigrisprowl 11:20 pm Do you have to test every angle on the structure of the example before answering it on the terms as they've been laid out? verdigrisprowl 11:21 pm What would you have done if I'd gone "oh, yeah, no, we actually DON'T know whether or not that law is real," called us idiots for not checking and then refused to answer the original question all together because it's now been made "invalid" by your standards? NoodlesAtNight 11:22 pm [[He would not have called you idiots. Putting the mech in temporary holding while you investigate is perfectly fine. And he doesn't know if he would have answered. He might have answered /both/ forms of it. As he has been thinking of doing.]] verdigrisprowl 11:22 pm DO you think we're idiots that didn't check? Do you think /I/ didn't search for every single loophole that could have possibly wiggled us out of the corner that he pushed us into? NoodlesAtNight 11:24 pm [[He doesn't /know/. He was not /here/ then. He does not know what you did in response to that revelation, or if you are still having to try to do it. Perhaps he would have offered /assistance/ if it had been necessary!]] NoodlesAtNight 11:25 pm [[For Primus' sake, he only received a full copy of the Tyrest Accord from you last week.]] verdigrisprowl 11:25 pm The Tyrest Accord is in the public domain! NoodlesAtNight 11:25 pm [[Do you think he would /trust/ the copies anyone else has?]] verdigrisprowl 11:26 pm ... /It's in the public domain/! You can—look it up in public—/everyone agrees/ to it, why the /hell/ would somebody—what good would anybody get from an /inaccurate/— verdigrisprowl 11:27 pm /Who the hell do you think would/— verdigrisprowl 11:27 pm *he's flabbergasted. he's completely gasted his flabber. he cannot, he is unable to can.* NoodlesAtNight 11:27 pm [[A scheming Megatron about to face imprisonment, exile, or death for his genocides with someone like his alternate at his side?]] verdigrisprowl 11:27 pm *at this point he's just sort of gesturing in bafflement* NoodlesAtNight 11:28 pm [[The faction was not called the Truthicons.]] [[But, as you present it--]] verdigrisprowl 11:28 pm ... There—are— *gestures vaguely toward outer space* NoodlesAtNight 11:44 pm [[If every action taken was found to be by the book, and everything Megatron claimed is true, then... then Megatron escapes his punishment, yes. But only for now. Laws written without multiversal contacts in mind cannot exclude them; the law will right itself as soon as we locate the /other/ Knights we know to exist.]]

[[...Even if that were not so, he has recently toyed with the idea that those who uphold the laws as strictly as you expect may be balanced by those who will sacrifice themselves to that law to speed what it must take a mech like you longer to correct. If Megatron lingers forever, and a mech terminates him, that mech may be given a trial of their own. Then all things are made right.]]

[[He does not /know/ if it was right, or correct. He is still struggling to find out what right and correct /is/. He thinks that there were /worse/ ways to have handled it. He thinks there are many things that could have been done that were made for mechs like him to bear, and not mechs l NoodlesAtNight 11:45 pm like you.]]

[[But he cannot say for certain. This is why he asks you these things, and speaks with you about them.... when our temperaments and our contrasting views do not get in the way.]] NoodlesAtNight 11:46 pm [[He wanted to know what /you/ thought. Whether /you/ would be displeased. Not what he thought of it. He knows what he would do, and it is not by the law.]] verdigrisprowl 11:49 pm *listens quietly; huffs at the ending.* You were quite pleased when /this/ *he nods at the screen* went by the law. And cried "corruption" at someone who was bending the law to try to make his conviction faster and easier. So why is the judge corrupt whereas somebody who martyrs himself to the law in order to execute Megatron correct? Because the spy was more sympathetic than Megatron? Because you dislike judges more than you dislike desperate assassins? verdigrisprowl 11:52 pm I don't think anything. Rather, I can think at any point of the spectrum—from "any means are justified by the end" to "the law above and beyond all else." I pick and choose where I'm going to sit on that spectrum because I have been forced, quite unhappily, to see the merits and drawbacks to every point on it. NoodlesAtNight 11:53 pm [[The judge swore to uphold his duty, not to be /him/. If the judge wants to corrupt himself, then he may announce what he has done afterward and be taken to task for it. That would, however, undo what was already decided, and a better judge would be found. Then the outcome might be whatever it could have been had the judge done his duty properly. The final result is that the correct actions by what he swore to do all lead to a fair trial, and if that is so, then denying that and not announcing himself makes him unworthy of his robes.]] verdigrisprowl 11:54 pm But I think there's something... hypocritical, in being able to look at Megatron's trial with nuance—in being able to see that it might become necessary and even correct for someone to go outside the law in order to get rid of him—while utterly decrying the judge without considering that his position may be necessary and even correct. NoodlesAtNight 11:54 pm [[And,]] *soft huff* [[you are right. He is somewhat in favor of the spy, for obvious reasons.]] verdigrisprowl 11:54 pm And I think it says more about your opinion on judges than it does about any moral position. NoodlesAtNight 11:55 pm [[But he, at least, is more honest about being dishonest.]] verdigrisprowl 11:55 pm Oh, well, that makes it alright. NoodlesAtNight 11:55 pm [[It does not.]] NoodlesAtNight 11:57 pm [[But he prefers mechs who are honest about their dishonesty over those who are dishonest about their honesty. At least with the former you know they may not always be trusted. The spy may be a spy; what damage the judge does, we may never know.]] verdigrisprowl 11:58 pm The damage he did was convicting a spy. And /not/ knowing what else he may or may not have done—I cannot fault /that/. What damage the spy does, we may never know, no matter how honest he is about being a spy. verdigrisprowl 11:59 pm The spy isn't better. NoodlesAtNight 11:59 pm [[Then both are wrong.]] Today verdigrisprowl 12:01 am ... Bold words from a spymaster. NoodlesAtNight 12:02 am [[Who has never laid claim to being a lawful, moral, wholesome mech. Merely one who is as honest as he can be about what he /is/.]]

NoodlesAtNight 12:07 am [[He knows.

NoodlesAtNight 12:09 am *Huffing.* NoodlesAtNight 12:10 am [[There is only ever one sentence with the Dinobots, you know.]] verdigrisprowl 12:10 am *his lips press together in a hateful thing that's only vaguely shaped like a smile.* I know.

Ep. #2 - “Shit ain’t over till the fat lady sings and I didn’t warm my pipes.” (Cameron)

Day 4: Well. I survived my first tribal council of the season, and even though it went exactly according to plan, while I slept my entire day away, I'm still really hesitant to tell myself that I'm doing well on my tribe. I'm really nervous that my tribe mates are playing me, and that I'm really boo boo tha fool here. I called Megan post-tribal, and I was finally able to get some closure on something that happened between us in our personal lives, which felt really good. After that, she asked me about the idol, to which I had responded "Wait, Julian didn't tell you?", which hopefully sows some seeds of doubt in Megan about Julian. Ideally, if the Enlil tribe has to go back to tribal council, the four of us can bear witness to a Megan vs. Julian war. Because unfortunately, the connections I have outside Enlil, are shared with either Julian or Megan. If Megan and Julian are going after each other pre-merge, or during a swap scenario, I don't have to share those connections anymore. After that, Megan and I just talked about the nudes we received during quarantine ~ I then promptly ran to Will to tell him about the potential crack I just formed between Julian and Megan, which was met with genuine excitement. I think I'm really gaining Will's trust, and I think we vibe so well together. Love that guy! Overall, it wasn't a very productive day because I woke up at 4:30p PST. Love that for me, thanks for shading me @ Tribal Bodhi.

going into this scavenger hunt as the tribe that went to tribal last is worrysome. It's a challenge that's fully dependent on our activity, so we are at a serious disadvantage against the other two tribes that get to choose someone less active to sit out. We don't have that luxury. The point/life system eases the blow, however, since we can get less active players 1 life while more active players can get 3. In case we lose, I'm trying to connect with everyone on the tribe. I really don't want to vote anyone out though. I have an alliance with Julian and JJ, and one with Will on the side. Chrissa wants to work with Julian, JJ and myself, and I think Megan and JJ have something on the side. I'm nervous for who would be the target in the vote, and any vote would hurt all of our games collectively. Hopefully we win because the next vote will not be easy AT ALL.

Done w typing this sheet

jj and zachary are so fucking annoying to this challenge and if i vote for you first at the swap, its probably because youre typing too much during this challenge sorry not sorry xoxo - sincerely johnny a month from now

let me be clear with andrew I was not calling his hosting unfair i was calling the fact that a majority green item giving him a point unfair not the hosting but lack of yellow, also i have a headache i don't feel that good. and I just don't think zach should have had a point for it nothing against hosting obviously i watch a movie trivia thing where literally they have a challenge to challenge any questions that are unfair, that doesn't mean they are calling the question writers or the answer writers unfair. 

Zach just won the tribal challenge for us which is fantastic. We can maintain the illusion of a unified tribe longer, which keeps us together in a swap situation, and Zach has clearly painted a challenge target on himself over the last two challenges which will make him go before me if our Triforce ever becomes the minority. I'm really happy with my position in the game right now

me and monty trying to find the idol and decode this annoying ass video https://imgur.com/a/lu7sbMu

Forgive me father for I have sinned it's been approximately three days since my last confession so far can't complain really we be winning they hating we be riding pretty damn clean I've got a majoritu alliance I didn't start so odds of it falling around me and being the first voted out slim to none thank the sweet baby jesis and all that good shit. Oh well that's all for now

JULIAN’S HOST CHAT GUEST, ZEE:

I am filling in a confessional because you told me to. I am in front of my fan because it's hot. I'm thinking that it seems pretty stupid to ask me for a confessional. Julian's prod chat isn't very interesting because he's distracted.

also just threw out madison's name to johnny. if this shit backfires on me ill be ):

yo yo yo homies!!! fuck the scavenger hunt and the mobile Skype app !! Lowkey scared but I think I’m close with everyone on the tribe except madi soooooooooo that’s probably who will go tonight. I’ve connected a lot with Monty and am hoping we can work together closely moving forward 💕not sure how useful my relationship with Zach is going to be come swap/merge bc it seems like he’s ALREADY making himself a target like the big doof he is. More later 💋

Hello tumblr survivor world! Sorry I didnt confess for episode 1, I was going to but i accidentally exited out of the page when i almost finished writing it. Anyways, it was just a cast assessment for my tribe so tl;dr everyone on my tribe is great and its really sad that we have to vote someone out now. So this whole weekend I was away so I was REALLY worried that I would be voted out since I sat out of the challenge. But after talking to Johnny and Isabelle, it seems like Madison will be voted out tonight. Which is so bad bc this her first game in a year, but hey it's our first vote and it's not me so it's not really the time to make a stand. _________________________________________________________________________________________ Okay I took a break from writing this confessional and there's moreeeeeeeee so part 2 I guess. So I had a call with Johnny and we came up with an alliance of me, him, Isabelle, and Benji. What an iconic alliance, right? But also while Johnny and I talked we got onto the topic of idols and why it is that there hasn't been an idol post yet. I brought up that wayyyyyy back when in Malaysia and some other games around that time, some of the idol hunts were less clear cut. We ended up looking at the blog and clicking the "idol system" tab and it brought us to some weird crab video with audio that sounds like a pokemon cry? Idk part of me thinks its just a joke but I also have to consider that it might be SOMETHING. It said remember to like and subscribe so I sent a screenshot of me liking and subscribing to see if that would do anything but nope. Johnny said he'd do some thinking about it and get back to me later if he figures something out. Also tribal seems super clear cut so I'm a bit less worried now but y'know how it is I can't not worry about tribal.

i just spent $8 on a spectogram and STILL cant find this fucking idol im gonna kms... monty im sorry im steam rolling ahead looking for this thing without telling you, but thank you for the first clue xoxo... if i get stumped in the future ill reach out for SURE (but idt you trust me that much so this seems kinda valid to me) ((FOUR HOURS LATER: i told monty lololol)) ALSO FOR FUCKS SAKE I think madison is gonna go, and truthfully, im fine with it because it's the easiest thing to do due to her poor performance in the past few challenges and just being the least AROUND the tribe, but i know that it'd probably be better for me long term to get rid of abby because i just dont see her as a long term ally for me. i think she's close to JJ and Megan on the other tribe, and she's becoming much more acclimated to the tumblr survivor community that i just BET that she maybe has an additional connection on the rookie tribe. If I can attempt to break that up before we get to a swap, I think that's what im going to have to do figure out if we lose another challenge before a swap... i dont really want to see ANYBODY else go besides abby if im thinking about a second boot. i bet it wont be easy to take her out tho also, if madison goes, this is like...... lowkey vindication for game changers???? last night i talked about this with monty and i was like hmmmm "is it ugly to bring up past game history?" and his response was "not if it's within the same series" .... so. vindication

---

omg i just told madison how to find the idol system thing i hope she doesnt tell anyone i told her about it LMAO........ this almost seems too easy.i got added to two alliances today. why do i not feel safe? is it me going? WTF IS GOING ON

excited to be first boot because no one will TALK TO ME! 

Things haven’t changed much since my last confessional! As far as I know the tribe hasn’t started into alliances and we’re all riding some excitement at having so far avoided tribal. I think the rest of the tribe and I are all feeling good and just focusing on making the tribe switch without losing any members.

from round 2 https://youtu.be/fk002uG2HoI

Hi sorry I forgot to do a confessional this round so this will be short imma just say a few things 1. I don’t trust julian one bit he can stop being shady to me 2. I can’t believe we aren’t going to tribal I’m so fkn happy i was able to pull out the win for our tribe because I didn’t want to lose anybody else 3. I love and adore will with all of my being and he’s my number 1 ally right now 4. I find it highly doubtful that there’s only one idol in this game and that you can’t find it until merge but that’s as far as I can get in the idol search for now so I guess there’s nothing I can do about it 5. I’m still having fun can’t wait to fuck up another flash game yay!!!

My Purple edit is amazing right now. But having played more games than most of these newbies, I have decided to take on the role of teacher and becoming more of a "role model" for these newbies. I feel like I have the closest bond with Zach, and I need to get a little closer with Collin. I have Grace from past games, and then there are the others who I do not really have any strong bonds with at the moment. I guess I need to start going to them more and show that I want to work with them.
