I forgot SSO doesn't announce redeem codes anymore, they expect people to check the Shop page

which I don't remember because it's not in their news page or anywhere I normally see SSO info. I wonder how many redeem codes I've missed?

anyway there is a garden powder code, works for Star Riders - HOLLOWWOODSKEY5X

I wish there was a newsletter or something going "hey new redeem code" idk. rss feed? I'm not going to manually remember to check a shop page that's weird.

EDIT: sso making me look crazy by posting on their instagram right after I found out about the code from an earlier instagram post buried in the comments

[wandering-night19]

October 1988

October in Austin was one of Andrea’s favorite times. The days were still sunny and bright, but the nights were cool and crisp. The leaves were changing shades to red and yellow, a few still clinging desperately to green. She loved the crunch of dry leaves under her ankle boots and the fresh fall scent they emitted. Despite the fact everything was dying and decaying, it was the start of something new. The leaves had to fall in order to make way for new ones in the spring. There could be no life without death and there was no greater display of that than in the fall.

Halloween was just a few short days away, which meant that soon her piano piece would be due for this semester’s jury. Tonight, she had lost track of time working on it in one of the many practice rooms UT Austin had to offer. It didn’t help that with only a couple months left in the semester she had changed her piece after falling head over heels in love with El fuego nuevo last week after seeing it for art class. While she had always loved ballet, there was something about the composition that pulled at her soul. She’d felt mesmerized as she’d watched them dance, transported through time and space as the melody tapped a rhythm against her heart. Now she was learning an entire new piano score and she had no one to blame but herself, but it was going to be worth it. She knew it. 

Andrea shivered and pulled her sweater tighter around her as she made her way to the apartment she shared with three other girls just off campus. She hadn’t brought a warmer jacket because she wasn't planning to stay so late. She was shocked when the janitor had knocked on the practice room door to let her know the building was being locked for the evening.  Thankfully, the path from the music hall to River Oaks Apartments is well lit and well traveled. It also happens to take her by her favorite convenience store, where she can say a quick hello to her roommate and grab something to eat.

I'm so late I'm sure everyone has been tagged, but if not consider this your tag! Make sure to tag me so I can see! I love reading what everyone is working on!

snippet under the cut

The aftermath of Kim’s murders has the three of them locked into what looks like a private office. Macau’s face is still bloody, but it looks like the nosebleed has at least stopped. Chay can feel the bruise forming on his knuckles. Kim is pacing like a caged tiger, shoulders tense. They confiscated his gun, and a number of other weapons Chay didn’t even realize he had on him. Then they took his shoes and his belt and his jacket, leaving him in his jeans and an oversized white t-shirt. Chay knows Kim was a good fighter, but the bodyguards are acting a little ridiculous about it if you asked him. They didn’t take Macau’s belt. “Look, Kim,” Macau starts from the table he’s laying across. Kim stops abruptly, turning to stare at him. “I’m glad our dads are dead— it needed to happen. Now we need to figure out how the hell to convince our brothers of that.” There’s a bit of blood splattered on Kim’s shirt. Chay resolves not to tell him that. “And we need to let them know about my mom,” Chay adds, because like hell he’s leaving his mom in Korn’s prison now that the man is dead. Kim’s gaze swings to Chay. “That part’s easy. We just need to wait for Chan to get in here to interrogate us.” His voice is carefully modulated, and Chay scrambles to his feet. Kim is a lot closer to freaking out than he expected. “Okay, but how long is that going to be?” Macau counters. “Because Chan is going to be directing a lot of the clean-up.” Before Chay or Kim can reply, the door swings open, revealing all of their older brothers, led by none other than Chan. “Not long, apparently,” Chay snarks as he moves to stand shoulder to shoulder with Kim. Macau rolls off the table behind them, coming up to stand next to Chay. “Boys,” Chan says, voice flat. “Please. Have a seat.” He gestures at the conference table Macau had been lounging on. Chan sits at the head of the table, Vegas and P’Kinn on either side of him. P’Khun is pale-faced and silent, which freaks Chay out more than anything else. Kim sits across from Chan and Macau claims the seat next to his brother. Porsche hasn’t sat down, instead standing behind P’Khun with a hand on his gun. His face softens when Chay catches his eye, and he gestures for the seat by P’Khun. Chay considers it, but opts to stay standing instead. P’Khun is kinda freaking him out right now. “Now,” Chan starts. “Kim. Please tell us what happened.” Kim opens his mouth, and then closes it, eyes darting around the room. “You were all there,” Macau says, when it becomes clear that Kim isn’t going to say anything. “Chay punched me, we ran in arguing, and while we were distracting everyone, Kim shot Pa and Uncle Korn. Then you locked us in here.” “But why?” P’Kinn’s voice is smaller than Chay has ever heard it. Macau is silent at that, looking back at Kim, who still looks about one wrong word away from shattering. Fuck it, Chay thinks, and steps forward. “Because it had to be done.” “And who the fuck are you?” Vegas asks, voice hoarse. “I’m Namphueng Kittisiwat’s son,” Chay says, and watches Chan’s eyes widen comically. “By the way, could I go see her? Someone should probably tell her that her captor is dead.” “Chay, what the fuck?” Porsche says, hand dropping from his gun to stare at him. “Ma died in a car crash. I was there.” “Yeah, that was a lie, right Chan?” Chay grins at Chan, who is now looking vaguely constipated.

thanks for reading!

Holy SHIT Round 2 was way more intense than I was expecting for this early in the competition.

8 of the 16 matchups were extremely tight, with a winner at 55% or under

Three of these flipped results from a confident lead at the last moment (which means I need to re-do some of the graphics I'd prepared in advance) and another one almost made it, with Tumblr calling the 50/50 split in favour of Romana II instead of Rory, though I don't doubt that given maybe another hour he could have made it

Group 7 (Big Finish) and Group 9 (11th Doctor) have both been entirely eliminated, whereas all of the qualifiers from Group 1 (1st Doctor) and Group 8 (9th/10th Doctors) are still in

Voter turnout was higher overall, and calculating a vote count from the percentages and total number of votes, every single character got more votes than they did in their group round, except Dan who had the misfortune of going up against Ace

And most impressively and surprisingly, five first-place winners from the group round were eliminated, three of them to 2nd place characters, and two of them were to 3rd place finishers.

Here's the lineup for the next round, beginning later this afternoon:

Ask Sonata Dusk April 2024 Update!

Hi guys!

So, to make this nice and short, I haven't been making as much progress with my planned VN/dating sim as I have hoped. So, I will continue to provide updates on the ASD series at least for now. I might even work on both ASD and the VN if possible until I am for certain that the VN is in production. So, please stay turned for more updates!

WiP Wednesday: Brother

This fic was inspired by Toph declaring Zuko her brother in A Second Chance at Family. I started thinking about what Azula would think of that... so cue this fic. This is post-canon, where Azula is working with Zuko as a political advisor.

Aaaaaand tumblr's shitty new post editor won't let me indent the story without removing all the spacing. Fucking hate this stupid thing and you can no longer opt out of it, so that's great. Thanks @staff. This platform progressively gets worse and worse. It's literally becoming LESS functional.

Anyway, have a snip:

“He’s my brother, not yours,” Azula hissed at the earthbender who was clinging inappropriately to Zuzu’s side. 

Zuzu looked surprised, but the earthbender just grinned a smug grin that made Azula want to set her on fire.

“You lost siblingship rights,” the earthbender shrugged, “you know, when you tried to murder him.”

“Toph,” Zuzu hissed, probably able to tell that Azula was very close to incinerating her. Such an insult could not go unanswered.

Azula raised herself up tall. “Zuko is my blood,” she sniffed haughtily. 

“Literally who gives a fuck?” Toph snorted. “Your bloodline is fucked up. We’re better family to him than you’ve ever been.”

“Nonsense,” Azula scoffed. “Family isn’t something you choose.”

Zuzu coughed. “Um. Yeah, it kinda is.”

She glared at him and he winced. 

“Just saying,” he muttered. “Can we please move on from this and deal with the actual issues on our plates?”

“No,” Toph said simply, pointing at Azula. “You think your blood entitles you to him? Fuck that. What have you ever done to earn the title of sister?”

“I don’t have to earn it,” Azula sneered.

“See, that kind of entitlement is exactly why I’m the real sister,” Toph said and Azula saw red.

“Guys!” Zuzu said loudly. “Come on, we’ve got actual fucking work to do!”

Azula’s eyes narrowed at him. “You agree with her,” she said, something threatening in her voice.

“Um.” Zuzu shrugged. “You’re both my sisters, okay? Now come on, I have a meeting with the finance minister in an hour and we need to figure out–”

“No,” Azula cut him off, incensed. “I’m your blood. How can you call this – this mudgrubber ‘sister’!?”

“Oh, I’ll show you mud,” Toph began, but Zuzu stepped between them, pushing them back from each other. Azula almost set him on fire in payment for the indignity of it.

“Guys, seriously!”

“Family is a title that’s earned,” Toph said coldly. “You’ve never done shit to be deserving of it.”

Puffing up in offense, Azula let the threat of lightning crackle in the air around her – but it backfired when Zuzu said sternly, “stop it! Neither of you are helping right now! Let’s just move on and–”

Azula’s face twisted with something she couldn’t define, but it was bitter and jealous and angry. “I refuse,” she said tightly. “I refuse to have anything to do with a pretender who tries to steal other people’s families!”

“Good,” Toph snapped, “then the trash can walk itself out.”

“How dare you–”

“Guys, come on!” Zuzu stood between them again, face stressed. “We have real actual problems to deal with! Like how to fund–”

“Forget it,” Azula said icily. “As long as she’s around, I won’t be involved.”

Zuzu blinked like he was surprised at her ultimatum, but Toph’s smirk just widened. 

“Fine,” Toph said easily. “Bye then. C’mon, Sparky, let’s deal with your finance minister.” She turned and started walking towards Zuzu’s office – and Zuzu hesitated, looking between them.

Azula remained with her nose stubbornly in the air – but then Zuko took a step towards Toph. 

“Sorry,” he muttered. “I’ve gotta deal with this meeting.”

And then he left, following after that brother-stealing earthbender, and Azula felt the sudden need to set the corridor on fire. 

Servants and staff ran from the area – but Zuko did not return and Azula’s rage was complete. He was her blood! How could he choose Toph over her!?

With a snarl, Azula set off to find something she could burn, leaving a smoldering section of hallway behind her.
