idk if it’s at all important to the story (i am playing fallen london without consulting the wiki because im stubborn) but which side did the scoundrel take in the strike at the docks

well. with the knowledge that they're a gay-coded comically evil supervillain at heart. and they hate unions. and they actually think mr fires is pretty based. what do you think

(neddy men. it was neddy men. im so sorry)

#also based to go without the wiki but do be very aware that there are things permanently missable in certain ambitions #without knowing them ahead of time #if nothing else it's an excellent resource just to keep track of how to get stuff! bessemer steel ingots guide i owe you my fucking life #ask #fallen london #also if you wanna do certain lategame questlines or be Super Optimal during festivals it's a lifesaver #like. you CAN probably totally do discordance without the wiki? but also good luck #and knowing exactly what options will give you lacre every day in sackmas is a godsend

You mentioned before that the people who would have access to Machete's bedchamber would likely already know about Vasco. How did that come up in your mind? Did they get caught in the act or was the subject broached with enough trust? How did those people handle it? Sorry if this is a bit vague but I thought about it today and I'm very interested. :)

I think it just has to be the case, I can't imagine how they could manage to hide the fact Vasco is bunking with him from everyone, for years and years. Machete doesn't live alone, he has staff and servants who do his housekeeping and run his errands. Even if Vasco didn't stay there for any extended periods of time and snuck out the back door to avoid attention, I'm assuming at least the people who do his laundry and change his sheets would eventually detect that some sort of funny business had happened. But the number of people who are in on it is still very very small and tightly controlled. His assistant Vittorio definitely knows and helps to manage this situation, so does his personal doctor, and on top of that maybe a handful of most trusted high-ranking emplyees, which he has vetted extremely carefully and pays handsomely for their discreetness and prudence.

#or something along those lines surely there has to be a way for this to work people have had secret affairs since the beginning of time #if you hire someone #or more likely promote someone you know who has worked for you for years and has proven to be trustworthy and unlikely to betray you #and there's a very high risk that that person will find out your secrets it's better to bring them to their attention yourself #in a controlled setting ahead of time #instead of waiting to see if/when you're caught and not knowing how they will react #right?#and his private quarters are indeed private you don't go snooping in there without a good reason and an official permission #answered #anonymous #Vaschete lore #Vasco hanging around there often probably isn't an immediate red flag it's a big house and people can have friends and guests #plus at the time it was generally more common and accepted for two men to be close friends and openly attached to each other platonically #it's sunday morning and I'm awake trying to piece together the practical logistics of #maintaining an undercover long term relationship between two 16th century statesmen

there is a very specific image in my head of early-mid 20’s iwaizumi hajime

#iwaizumi x reader #and he’s the guy taking on an internship in his senior year with minimum load for his classes #bc he’s planned it all out since starting college #you see him in parties because he has the time & he works so hard it’s only right he plays hard too #every time you lock eyes he gives you a small smile #there’s an air about him that isn’t cocky but isn’t too shy; a comfort that settles into his skin like he’s sure of who he is #—of what he wants & it definitely isn’t hauling up his drunk friends and a few acquaintances up his car #but some of them are your friends and you’re helping him so maybe it isn’t so bad #he drops you off with your roommate and you rarely see him after #until you spot him at some bar (again) and he’s wearing a tight fitting polo (it’s his uniform you later notice)#it’s a year or two after your graduation and when you lock eyes across the room there’s something so familiar yet wholly different #he’s confident now & maybe a little flirty too when he tells you he’s working as an assistant to shadow one of his mentors #you catch up for the rest of the night and your friends have long since gone ahead #he still knows what he wants and it’s to bring you home—not that way (not yet); you’re a little suspicious because #you know there’s /something/ but he drives you home like a gentleman. without really trying anything (and maybe part of you wishes he did)#it’s iwaizumi though and he knows what he wants—to ask you out properly (one he’s been thinking about since chance encounters in uni)#and he’s hoping that when he asks you can tell just how much he likes you #hajime #i want him so bad im crying #there is a whole workd of backstory to this but i got lazy typing it #shotorus.bubble

things you can't get back

aka i've been waiting so patiently to see kidd get his ass beat by shanks (affectionate)

#fun fact i am an anime only-er #because i'm watching it with someone who hasn't read the manga and i don't want to get ahead of them. we're in this together #but i was very aware of how the fight went in advance lmao #(and i may or may not be writing a fic that this is based on)#just smth about killer warning kidd they might not be so lucky as to survive this time #and kidd saying “oh well that's only if i lose!” is very interesting to me #bc kidd cares for his crew a lot but he is also very arrogant. and so he kind of fails to consider their safety bc he's so confident #he's not stupid he knows the risk to his own life. but there is an entire crew of people behind him who could also die #who he is currently disregarding a little bit. which i think was kind of killer's point in warning him #trying to get him to maybe reconsider on his own bc he's going to do what kidd says regardless #even if he thinks its an awful idea #and i just think kidd should get to go through the horrors over the outcome. just a little (a lot)#since killer tried to talk him out of it and he didn't listen and now they're all kinda fucked #i love him a lot and i want him to suffer deeply #what is a man without crushing guilt #kidkiller #eustass captain kidd #eustass kid #massacre soldier killer #killer one piece #one piece #one piece fanart #my art

So my betrothed has been Suffering with backlash from Wyvern and allergy testing. They’re having trouble working out and their chest is consistently tight even with nasal sprays and antihistamines so we’ve been looking to get a beefier air purifier for their room.

Today I went on a secret journey to go pick one up off OfferUp. It’s a city that has taiyaki which isn’t near us and so I’m also getting delicious treats while I’m in the area. I’m excited to have it set up and surprise them when they get home.

#ramblies #secrets from baby #I need to figure out road-trip snacks too since we’re leaving on Saturday and my betrothed doesn’t have a day off ahead of time #so it’s on me and I’m actually Terrible at planning #I’ve shown up to camping trips without a pillow or sleeping bag #so I might have them make a list with me tonight so I know what to get

hey everyone, i won’t be as active for a while. got home last night super late after being on the road for 20 some odd hours. dealing with some family things and as an older sister, my priority of taking care of my siblings comes first before anything else. being on here is amazing for me but i don’t think i’ll have much time for it. reminder to please treat those in your life who are battling addiction with patience and care. i lost my older brother (sweetest person i’ve ever known and he remained that way up until his last night) to suicide and alcoholism, trauma and ptsd, depression and his feelings of hopelessness. talk with the people you care about. another of my siblings is dealing with the same and i refuse to let it escalate to such a terrifying end twice in less than a fucking year. remind the people you care about that there are beautiful things to live for. show them kindness and love. there is all kinds of misinformation out there but know this, you can make a difference for someone. don’t let them suffer in silence.

#if you have me on snap then you saw the super gorgeous views and such on my way to idaho but what you did not see was me picking #up my little sister. propping her body up with pillows in a hotel room to make sure she didn’t aspirate on her own vomit in her sleep.#pouring out her water bottle of white claw and talking to her about drug use.#i never make her feel as though she has disappointed me or that she should feel ashamed. shame helps nothing. love helps everything.#i’m going to get her back into treatment soon- i just need her to know she has a home when she’s out. detoxing here first and being #positively reinforced for every single step of the process is so fucking important. it was terrifying to learn that if i had not gone to ge #her when i did that she probably would have died there in the next few weeks.#my fear of death for her is not what guides me though and there’s a huge difference between that and doing something out of love. being #there in dire moments is important yes- but being there through the mundanity of recovery is JUST as vital. it’s a process and it’s hard.#she’s moving in with me for awhile so i can help her through this sensitive time in her recovery.#she’s trying so hard and being recognized for that has literally been making her sob. knowing she has people who truly care for her is #everything. now that my stepdad is away from her like across the country i can actually finally help her. she’s starting to understand and #without me saying anything- she is starting to see what he’s done to her and our family. she needs love and support and stability. she need #reasons to live. sorry im kinda rambling a lot in these tags but i just… i can’t lose another one. the love i carry for my siblings is #unlike any other. i’ve treated them like my children since i was a child and those are my own issues but our mother is gone now too so it i #up to me.#losing my brother last september and my mom the year before that- grief has just been back to back.#in the hotel room i couldn’t sleep. she fell asleep so quickly and all i could do was watch her and think about all of the things i want to #do to make her feel like her life has value and worth enough to stay here and not go. my little sister is forever four years old in my mind #yes she’s an adult of 23 but she is a baby to me. she’s so young and she has so much ahead of her. she deserves a happy and fulfilled life.#our lives have been… very hard. 4 out of 5 of us are still standing and i plan on keeping it that way.#this is not the pain olympics or whatever but listen- if i put an adult in any of the situations we were in as children they would not #survive. we only did because there was no other choice. now there are escapes and we are old enough to try them all- every single one of us #has searched for some escape. it spirals and escalates and it doesn’t help but it is an escape. giving her love and affection and getting #her the help she needs and doing it the RIGHT way- it lessens the need for escape. there is nothing wrong with being an addict.#addiction ends one of two ways. life or death. unfortunately there is no in between. she’s going to feel everything- bad and good. i want #her to know there is so much good. that she is good. every move i make right now matters so i don’t think i’ll have time for tumblr or #much socializing.#just a heads up yk. thank you for your patience in advance <3

back on my bullshit (meeting men im in love with). Ben Schwartz is so kind and tall :-) I didn’t totally freeze like when I met the Jonas brothers but the selfies we took are blurry so 😔

(at least I have these bc I told sam to record the whole thing heheheh)

#also the show was great #I had to slap sam many times bc she was choking from laughter #ben schwartz #bro how did i forget my personal tag for ben #ben schwartz my beloved #me #also forgot me tag #editing tags after the fact to recount the entire experience #so we waited outside for about 10 minutes and I had no expectation of how long it usually takes for him to come out and take pictures #he comes out without a mask which is surprising to me and says ‘you guys wanna take some pictures?’#we all just kinda form a non sensical blob (there’s maybe like 10 ppl total) around him #Brandon Katie and Eugene hang back towards the stage door unsure if anyone wants to chat with them #I’m gushing over how tall and handsome Ben is to my sister who is ready to record our interaction once he gets to me #as I listen to him chatting with the other fans I can’t help but smile and say to my sibling ‘he’s so sweet’ every minute #he meets someone who has a cool sketchbook of the skits from the show that he wants to take a picture of #but they need to write their handle so he says he’ll talk with some others and get back to them #so he does and then later I see the girl ready to talk to him again off to the side #so I tell her ‘you can go ahead and finish talking to him”’ and she’s like ‘are you sure?’ and I’m like duh!#finally it’s my turn and he looks at me and says ‘hi I’m Ben’#yes Benjamin Joseph Schwartz I know #he sees me holding my phone and immediately sides steps to get into selfie mode as I ask him if he’ll sign my Jean Ralphio figure #he steps back to Be in front of me ‘yes of course!’#what insane media training he has #he says ‘I’ve seen this! this is the first one I’ve ever signed’#upon seeing the figure he says ‘it’s beautiful’ lol #he’s concerned that the sharpie I brought will not show up and I mention that it was probably a bad one to bring because it’s pastel #he signs and holds it up (as you can see in the first photo) to make sure it’s visible #he hands it back to me and I thank him and he says ‘do you want to take a picture?’#and I say ‘I would love to!’ and then I hold the Jean Ralphio figure and he looks to my sibling assuming she’s taking the picture #she’s like ‘no I’m just here for moral support!’

art time-lapse of this piece that i posted in IG b4 to try out doing reels. i really like how this turned out overall plus "yasashii suisei" (link for eng tl) really fit the vibes so im queueing this here too

#khr #khre #khr oc #oniyanagi #hibari kyoya #ninomiya kanako #oc #hibakana #einart #tags yapping abt hibakana ahead 🫡#the quote that inspired this one still lives rent-free in my brain #“my alone feels so good i'll only have you if you're sweeter than my solitude”#both of them are the type of people who likes to move on their own and dislikes being restricted #and they thrive that way without needing to look out for things like social cues/other's perceptions/the will of a “majority”#there's this certain type of independence that i rlly admire for each of these two characters #if they don't feel comfortable with a person #or if the person's company does not spark any joy #as much as their peace and quiet does #then why would they even hang out and spend/invest time with them amirite? theyre not abt that fake life #nowadays its very common for me to hear abt boomers asking ppl when they're gonna get an s/o or marriage #or just others forcing ppl to conform with the social norms and what's considered as “normal”#so these two rlly bring me a lot of comfort #on their own; if i were to depict them on separate stories #khre aside and just considering khr; idt id ship hibari with anyone; he would be my a-spec king icon idol and legend who does wtv he wants🫶#kana too mdbxndbddjbd her previous version b4 this had another oc/canon ship but i don't rlly fck with that anymore (still funny tho)#(i realized that that previous ship rlly held her back character-wise---)#(but their (potential/established) platonic relationships with other characters are so *chef kiss* tho--working hard on brainstorming that)#on the other hand i started shipping hibakana for the comedy of their dynamic lmao (it should be around b4 sou & i reached kokuyo arc)#“wouldn't it be funny if---”#its just a joke there's supposed to be an “/hj” somewhere there i didn't know they would suit e/o's characters & personality this much wtf

I know I haven't said much about it, but legitimately, "running away" was one of the most pivotal life decisions I've ever made. Probably THE first major life decision I've made, and also the best. If you have an opportunity to go, leave. Get out of there. If you are not safe at home, emotionally, physically, whatever, and you're able to leave, do it. It's going to suck such major ass for a while because you're going to have to deal with the scars they've left on you, but I wholeheartedly, full-throatedly, with-my-chest promise you that it is going to be better. You're going to be better. If you have the privilege of being able to escape, no matter how difficult it feels, then RUN.

#whatever you leave behind is not your responsibility. sometimes you're gonna have a fucked relationship with the siblings you 'abandoned'#but they have to understand that you had to leave. and that you were actively fighting to take them with you the entire time #it's okay to be selfish. you need to be selfish to start to recover.#if you have to be homeless please look up and do your research on local resources first. plan things out.#i was lucky enough to have family who'd been waiting years and years for this moment to happen #if you can go and have your college dorm as a safe haven then absolutely take that chance #if you can go and rent an apartment with the money from your job then take that chance #plan shit. do it. even if your brain fights you. you do not want to be out there without proper precautions or else you could end up-#-seriously fucked over.#also i know i'm encouraging people to get out but in equal measure:#if it isn't safe to leave you are not lesser for staying.#if it's winter and you can't be out there alone you are not complicit in your own abuse yk?#if you have family you CANNOT leave behind like extremely young siblings then you are not at fault for staying.#i was lucky enough to be able to leave quickly and (relatively) painlessly and i'm aware that not everybody can do that #sometimes staying IS the better choice. but that's a choice YOU have to make not me #assess your situation properly. are you staying for your own safety or because you're scared?#etc etc. obviously take all of this with a grain of salt i don't have all the life experience in the world just what little i have #also: prepaid phones are a godsend. MRIs. canned food. make sure to have first aid kits if needed. plan ahead. have a stash somewhere safe #rox rumblings #me things

Still watching the credits roll, but: She fought for them. She saw it all beforehand, saw her part through, but refused to let theirs end as foretold. Because she loved them. Her memory - physical and not - lead them all the way to the discovery of their own fate. And she committed her boys' story to stone and wood.

And after that, she left her love his own story. How it started and how it will go on. She painted him in her colour. He is worshipped. He is loved. He will know what that kind of love feels like. He has a role - one he never imagined, but one he will take. He has a reason to live.

To grieve deeply is to have loved fully. Open your heart to the world as you have opened it to me and you will find every reason to keep living in it.

He has a path. Both of her boys do.

#all her lines are amazing #and I'm still reeling #she knows. she knows exactly how much time is left. how much they don't know. how much they'll suffer #she leaves them words she hopes will serve them and does all she can to keep them safe after she's gone #her palm on a wall in Jotunheim. the way her breath shakes as she marks the last tree.#how hard it must be to accept her own fate without her loved ones and yet the determination in avoiding theirs #god.#the way he's relunctant to give her a pyre and would have entombed close to him. the way he never considers disrespecting her wish.#how preciously he holds her memories. how seriously he trusted her words even if he didn't understand them at the time.#i have just. so many feelings about them. the devs could not have gone better about honoring her memory in this game than they did #i am overcome #the knives. the axe. the bow. the sachet which held her ashes. the pieces of her they carry with them. memory and protection.#fuck I'm going to cry again #god of war spoilers #god of war #gow spoilers #twilit posts #''you prepare for a distant future. there is much time ahead of us.''#her silence #''i wish to *better* a future... that will exist without me whenever that day comes''#godddddd she says it with all the letters in it but they'll only find out so much later how much she meant them!!!#sony santa monica you've outdone yourselves #update from the next day: i just realized he might not be fond of the idea of cremating her because he has literal ashes on him #not a good reminder to his past mistakes :(#and also i forgot to mention here that when I was watching kratos looking at the mural i was bawling my eyes out-#repeating ''he is worshipped. he is loved'' over and over #god that scene will stay with me

oversleeping doesn't do anybody any good. let me try to fix this.

#pk;m Henrik💉#it is 11 o clock at night but that's fine #the good thing about mom living at her parents' for the foreseeable future is a lot of things #one of them being we can be dysfunctional as hell schedule-wise without her judging us.#and being hypocritical. her insomniac ass has the same issues as us.#there are also other Good Things about this situation but you dont need to know that. anyways #i will play stardew. perhaps that'll help some. many things left to do on Soul's file.#i think I'll get her house upgraded next if possible.#she also needs more chickens. I guess.#we also need a barn specifically for pigs... but I'm getting ahead of myself. one goal at a time.#perhaps tomorrow if it's not too hot we can go outside for once.#sunlight helps. and we haven't been taking our vitamins. because we keep forgetting them.#but then again it has been routinely in the 90s each day. yikes. fndnsndj

in a constant fight between "yes it's sad to say you will romanticize, all the things you've known before, it was not not not so great" and "call me sentimental, but I want to go back, and commemorate the place with a historical plaque"

#tmbg #I guess in a way both ''puppet head'' and ''canajoharie'' are about viewing negative experiences in hindsight #but ''puppet head'' is being close enough to still approach the memories without rose-tinted glasses and be glad you're beyond them #because there's only better things ahead. but also savvy enough to know that nostalgia catches up with everyone and to try and avoid it #''canajoharie'' may be about a possibly misplaced fondness for a terrible time that strikes an emotional chord of longing with you #perhaps because the experience is mixed up in positive memories and still shaped who you are today #that's what I get out of ''where a rocket ship experiment went awry. when the prototype exploded on the launching site'' anyway #to me it sounds like a metaphor about a formative/coming-of-age moment that didn't pan out as well as the narrator hoped #but it's part of their life regardless

The management at my old apartment stole my fucking bike

#apparently theyve been mass 'confiscating' bikes off peoples porches without telling anyone that theyre taking them #i dont know how long mine has been gone bc i didnt notice it was missing until i went to load it into my car to move it #but if its been more than (i think) 30 days then it would be considered forfeit and they would have already sold/claimed/trashed it by now #my gf and i saw a whole pile of 20+ confiscated bikes near the maintenance building but it doesnt look like mine was in it #i called them today to ask about it and they told me that for them to look for it i would need to provide a photo to prove its mine??#its MY bike! you stole it off my porch. how tf was i supposed to know that i needed to take a picture of it beforehand #they told us we can go check out the pile so me and my gf are gonna go look more thoroughly now that we're officially allowed #but if its IN the maintenance building we wont be able to find it #and if they already sold it or took it home with them or threw it away then it also wont be there #and i cant even ask them to confirm when they took it / if its already gone #bc it looks like theyve been doing this with dozens of bikes over the past few months so how would they even remember one specific one #what the fuck #rambling #also to be clear: they arent being confiscated BECAUSE theyre on the porches #the bikes are supposed to be under the stairwell and thats where mine was #my neighbors who leave their kids bikes piled on their side in the yard got to keep theirs #theyve been doing unscheduled porch painting without any sort of warning or notice on and off since like december tho #so my only guess is that they decided since they werent giving us any notice to move our stuff off the porch ahead of time #they decided to just move straight into confiscating everything off of the porches and hoping no one would call them out on it #which is fucking bullshit

#and also noted for the fanfiction #i am. so in love with her #and im so much more gay now than 8 years ago #18 yo me you have no idea how much you can like girls #the limits have not been reached yet #great things ahead of you #i mean great things ahead of me too the limits have still not been reached yet #anyway what do you think are the circumstances necessary to make her shapeshift without meaning to #<- some fucking whump prompt that #ive imagined baby vampire laura accidentally shapeshifting in her sleep the first time she ever does it #carmilla walking in on her like im gonna take a gamble here and hope you didnt get a pet badger #i think thats just baby vamp things though #hey what do you think danny is? wolf or something?#im thinking mattie is a bird of some sort #like a black swan or smth i dont know #'i am death on dark wings' etc #but anyway carmilla seems generally in control #of her vampirism in general. you know in the movie when laura's like 'youve never had a problem controlling yourself before'?#i think she just bit laura bc sudden vampirism means very suddenly very hungry. and they were asleep so. basically sleepwalking #the growling is cute though #and an opening. definitely a whump prompt. i think it would take a lot #definitely more than for my timelords to lose their shape. for them it only takes losing focus a little. bc pain/fatigue/relaxation #for carmilla i think it's more abt very high levels of fear+anger. threat #omg shes so kittycat 2 eps later too this mustve been made such great use of in fanfic #carmillaposting

i’ve been obsessed with persona 3 since i was 15 and have beat it multiple times how is it still unlocking new and deeper levels of mental illness for me

#anyway i’m almost to where i quit the answer in hs #i cannot wait to finally actually beat it i’ve wanted to for sooooo long #it’s going much better this time around lmao 🫡#yes i’m determined to beat the original version of it before the dlc drops in september #literally cannot think about any version of this game without wanting to scream cry throw up #🫣 i also still need to restart and actually beat p4 and p5 don’t look at me #any time i think about playing them i just replay p3 #i have issues #i promise i will get to them #i’m gonna go ahead and play p4g and p5r on my switch first #and then play the vanilla versions on ps2 and ps4 someday #yes i know i’m doing it backwards but shush i miss my switch #to be deleted #personal #literally no one cares why am i rambling #persona 3

it's such a small thing in two massive episodes i didn't expect anyone to point it out but like. thank god that whenever Orym says they should go right back to the Malleus Keys the rest of the hells either stay silent or actively push back on the idea. [I LOVE ORYM ORYM IS MY FRIEND] [THIS IS A POST MADE BY SOMEONE WHO CARES ABOUT ORYM A BUNCH] i was very worried that once they reunited they'd all keep acting under the belief that reasonable, strategic Orym had not left the building some time within the 24 hours that he watched his leader get slashed to ribbons and he helped kill an angel (the angel started it but still, that's like, a lot, morally speaking), and would continue to follow his lead all the way to their quick and brutal deaths on the moon. so it's good to know they can, to one extent or another, pretty quickly clock that as a terrible idea. even FCG! they're growing up so fast i'm proud of them

#cr spoilers #i mean my fears were mostly assuaged when he brought it up the first time post-reunion and ashton swiftly and deftly overruled it #and without even singling orym out! [nott thebrave talking about caleb widogast voice] he's a natural leader!!!#but still it was so good when orym brought it up again [with the generous compromise of giving them a three day weekend ahead of it]#and fcg was immediatley like TO DO WHAT? there's hope for our little robit to allow himself to think for himself yet!#asterisk the angel didn't start it technically i know. but the first act of violence committed in this conflict was the colonization #not the attack on the temple. so the angel is just a more pithy stand in for that in their perpetuation of it. goodnight #crposting
