#yai ive decided I hate them actually

[fightwing]

Two panels i have not been able to stop thinking about are:

And:

If there’s one thing tita.ns (2008) had its the audacity

[dontbotheraziraphale]

here's another hate crimes m.d. classic that sounds like a crackfic at best, but is from the actual show.

so. ive just started s5.

in which wilson breaks up with house. not because he blames house for his girlfriend's death - which is what house suspects - but because he's done enabling him, always protecting him, being on the other end of the phone in the middle of the night etc etc. As would anyone, Dr Cuddy then hosts a couple's therapy session for them and encourages house to tell wilson "how he feels about him". He doesnt. HE DOES, however, threaten Wilson with "if you don't stay, i will let my patient DIE". somehow this tactic doesnt work and wilson resigns from the hospital.

CUE THE NEXT EPISODE. House has now hired a PI to spy on wilson and learns that Wilson refuses to even acknowledge house's existence anymore. This, of course, won't do. and House decides to pay him a visit, which earns him a dramatic "please. please dont do this im trying to move on".

to fill this gaping whole in his chest, House, of course, needs a Wilson replacement. he opts for the first doctor he bumps into at the cafeteria. this guy, too, it turns out, likes monster trucks and isnt immediately appalled by house's vicodin addiction. yay! wilson replacement found! that was easy. "do you want to come watch porn at my place?" "no," says this New Wilson, "See. I'm not gay." House is not fazed by this, shrugs and says "ok well we dont have to have sex then i guess? your loss though" and like if you'd told me ANY of this 2 weeks ago i wouldnt have believed you BUT HERE WE ARE

Hehe, no need to apologize for getting excited! I love being your Doll and am so happy to see how excited you got when I called you my bon <3

All of the inverts take care of themselves most of the time, other than making sure they have enough food and water; And we've almost always had cats and dogs so it would be more of a chore to not take care of them! The chickens are the ones that feel out of the way in my daily life, but they are great, so I don't mind!

Most people think the feeling of someone watching them is unsettling; but when I know it's just you, it's so nice and cozy!

Bon really knows how to fluster it's Doll (⁄ ⁄>⁄ ⁄ ⁄ ⁄<⁄ ⁄)

You enjoy such a variety of games! Doll also love loves pixel art, so pretty! I've always been interested in Stardew Valley because of the graphics, I'm honestly happy I haven't gotten it already after hearing about Fields of Mistria!!! It looks so pretty! Doll wouldn't be able to keep up playing so many different games at once, how does Bon do it!!! That issue with steam sounds so annoying,,, I used to share a Spotify account with a friend and it'd do the same!!! Ooo, I've watched see my brothers play red dead redemption 2 before, usually I don't like games like that but I've actually been quite interested in it, I may give red dead 2 a try one day! Doll would probably accidentally abuse their horse too, Doll doesn't game much so wouldn't be used to the controls (╥﹏╥)

Recently ive played Minecraft, Sims 4, fallguys, and a few games on roblox if I play with friends,,, but I also a few on my list to play once I get a computer, which should hopefully be soon ^^ league of legends, stardew valley, and now Fields of Mistria, sweet pool, slow damage, and I'm sure I'm forgetting some-

Sorry this response has taken so so long!!! Doll keeps on getting busy, I hate it I just wanna spend time with My Bon~

-Your Dolly 🎀💕

You really love being my doll? Yay!!◝(ᵔᗜᵔ)◜ I'm glad that I can make you happy, my doll deserves to be.

Ah, that's really cool!! How come you keep so many different animals? I wish I could have a pet, but the others who live here are very against having anything besides people living in the house. I once got close to convincing them to let me keep rats, though. Did not happen in the end </3

Stardew Valley is definitely worth a try, even if you get Fields of Mistria. It has a lot more content, and if you get it on PC, there are tons of mods that you can use to add even more content and make it look the way you want it to! As for me playing so many games, I have a lot of free time on my hands. I don't have much else to do... most of my time is just spent waiting for someone to come talk to me. Everyone else is busy with their own things, so I gotta kill time somehow while waiting for them. I find RDR2 interesting so far; it's definitely not something I'd usually play either. Someone I know seems to really like it, and I also used to watch my brothers play, so I decided to finally pick it up. Ehehe, I'm sure you'd get the hang of it eventually!! The controls are pretty confusing, though..

Ah, I've played all of those before! What do you enjoy doing in Minecraft and the Sims? What games do you like playing on Roblox? I hope that you're able to get a computer soon to play all the games that you want to play!! I've heard of LoL but never played it myself. You'll have to let me know if it's fun. I only know of Slow Damage after looking through your blog, but not what it's about. I've never heard of Sweet Pool. What are those two games?

That's totally okay, Dolly. No need to apologize; I understand you might be busy, and I don't mind waiting. It's not like I'm going anywhere, so take all the time you need to reply!! (≧◡≦) ♡

ent. 2

today is saturday, aug 31, 2024.

i am home alone right now. i havent been keeping track on here much since i attempted to collect my thoughts writing actual pencil on paper, but today i found out my mom went through my room and found them! so.. we're back to tumblr <3

i think she went through my room cause she suspected i was smoking, and she might've found my stash, lol. i just wish she'd stay out of my business. i don't get why it's so hard to understand. 2 more years until i can get as far away as possible.

we had a fight a night or two ago and ive been kinda giving her the cold shoulder since. she tried to talk to me about it yesterday picking me up from school, but i reallyyy don't want to talk to her. i dont want to talk to any actual people about it. i dont like being home very much. i know im very priviledged, especially with having both parents. those were my private thoughts.

i miss my friends. the weekends are getting harder and harder to deal with. i honestly dont have much going on at school right now anyways. to me, its just time to spend with people who i can actually get along with.

i finally wrote my inquiry for my portfolio! it still needs some touching up, so i wont share it here yet :P fun news is that we're gonna start actually working on stuff soon so yay!!!

i also decided i dont really want to go to homecoming, so i might just spend the night with one of my other friends. we'll see, since tickets are sooooo expensive!! $120!! i hate here lollolooll

anyways, thats it for now. bye bye!!

[emeritus-fuckers]

The "What's my role in the Ministry?" event is back again? Yay! Okay. My answers:

I'm probably more likely to be a Sibling, I think I would like the structure of being part of the Ghurch like that...but I do have a feral, ghoulish nature sometimes.

I think I could work with any of the Papas (or Sister Imperator), but I'd ultimately pick Copia. He would be much less intimidating and would probably go easier on me.

I'm definitely an introvert. I like to be around people...but on my own terms, and not all the time. It gets draining, and I need my alone time.

I really like the idea of filing things and whatnot, as it gives me a feeling of being organized, and it's so satisfying. I would hate cooking, because I have no idea how to do that.

I would rather stay home most of the time. Travel is stressful, with all the preparing and packing and going places...

I like animals (more than people, actually). I can be very competent when I take my Ritalin, and I can surprise myself and others with how much I get done (and how well I do it). I can work well with very specific instructions. I consider a shopping trip to an office supply store a romantic spot for a date. And I can hyperfocus like nobody's business.

This post is part of the 1000 followers role in Ministry event. Entries (asks) for the event close on 23rd October.

Your role in the Ministry is… Caretaker of the rats for Papa IV

You take care of the rats when Popia's on tour.

You still help look after them when he's home because he tends to have a lot of paperwork to do.

You'll often have a nice chat with him while you clean the cage out and he's at his desk working.

It's a really chilled job. As long as the rats are happy you can decide your own schedual and everything.

The rats love you, so they are more than happy.

You are responsible for buying things for the rats. Basics and stuff they need but also little gifts. Which are kind of more for Copia, like the time you brought the rats little red cassocks so they could dress like Copia for bring your pets to work day. He was so happy he squeaked and gave you a tight hug.

You are one of a very, very, small group of people Copia trusts completely with his rats. Every year he gets a family photo taken with the rats and you are always in it. You always find the coolest props and costumes for it and Copia gives you an album for the photos and a copy each photo every year to go in it.

akaza’s backstory

heyo so i decided to do live notes on me reading this guys backstory. my mom says she literally cried when she read a year before me, and that its really sad so i wanted to keep my live reactions bcs this isnt my first time screaming at the plot twists in demon slayer. i start the live notes in the beginnings of chapter 154 and im also reading the manga in japanese so i might have mistranslated/misunderstood some things lol

SPOILERS BELOW THIS IS YOUR WARNING

initial thoughts on akaza: idk hes pretty fruity like the mugen train arc “oni ni nare, kyoujurou” in japanese was omg just. so fucking fruity. and he said the same freaking thing to giyuu omgs- also he hates douma and wants to kill kokushibo but idk what to really feel about him. anyways ive seen the little hints at the girl holding his hand and he tried to punch it, and his head grew back bc he said he had to get stronger???

live notes start here (just jot notes):

- damn she pulling out the existential crisis on akaza

- oh his dads sick boo hoo

- HOLY SHIT NAME DROP DUDE THATS A NICE NAME

- OMG HIS DAD KILLED HIMSELF JUST LIKE ZENITSUS TEACHER

- dude this suicide letter like ‘i cant take medicine bought by stolen money sorry for making myself a bother for you live a good life’

- oh hes mourning by hurting himself fighting people

- “even if it took 100 years for my dad to heal” and he kept half of that promise

- damn akazas backstory is just him getting beat up by everyone he meets

- and hes just like taking the beatings bc he wanted his dad to get medicine

- well fuck medicine for special diseases does cost a lot poor akaza

- and his dad just killed himself anyway

- still dont know who the girl is

- damn i wouldnt be able to stand getting whipped and bones broken for my parents

- huh he beat the living shit out of seven adults

- and he didnt get a scratch and hes also a kid

- who tf is that guy it seems akaza also has the same question

- oh is this guy who applauded akaza some sort of sensei i mean he has a dojo

- why does akazas personality sort of remind me of inosukes ‘fight me bitch’ type thing

- oh shit theyre gonna fight

- that wasnt so much of a fight than a man slapping a kid silly

- nother name drop keizou

- OOF AKAZAS FACE LOL

- oh akaza is gonna take care of a girl?

- HOLY SHIT ITS THAT GIRL I THINK WAIT HER NAME IS KOYUKI

- I SMELL BUDDING TEEN ROMANCE HERE JUST SAYING

- OMG ITS SO AWKWARD AND CUTE

- and akaza has someone to take care of again!

- aww cute moment between them

- also fireworks! yay! hes saying he can piggyback ride her there that so sweet

- oh shit shes crying

- oh thats so cute that their only purposes are to protect those they love

- omgs and akaza on his little training arc with keizou like how tanjirou did with urokodaki and both are taking care of a younger girl who is bedridden- the parallels

- holy shit three year time skip

- oh ok koyuki is better now

- OMG THEY DO LIKE EACH OTHER AAAAAAAAA THEYRE SO SWEET AND SHES SO NERVOUS AND HES SO NERVOUS

- OH HES GONNA SAY YES TO THE MARRIAGE PROPOSAL

- HES GONNA FOLLOW HIS DADS SUICIDE NOTE AND LIVE A GOOD LIFE

- HE EVEN VISITED THE GRAVE HELP

- WAIT SHIT NO HES A DEMON SOMETHING GOES WRONG

- NONONONONO WAIT SHIT I WAS ACTUALLY SORT OF STARTING TO LIKE THESE TWO 

- OMG HES ADMITTING THAT THEYRE HIS TWO FAVOURITE PEOPLE

- wait whats this abt poison

- WAIT WHAT POISON

- THIS IS TURNING VERY FAST WHAT THE FUCK

- WHAT THEY WERE BOTH POISONED AND FUCKING DIED WHAT

- BECAUSE OF THE FREAKING DOJO WTFFFFFF

- I- I NEED TO THINK ABOUT THIS

- ok were back and ready to react

- wait what promise

- CALLBACK TO THE FIREWORKS

- ohh shes saying she wants to watch the fireworks with akaza next year and the year after too... oh shit she died.

- damn so both their parents killed themselves bc of their kids

- ohhh this is so sweet but sad knowing she just died

- AND HE PROMISED TO PROTECT HER BUT OH NOOOOOO

- OH SHIT HES KILLING THEM ALL WITH HIS BARE HANDS

- DAMN THATS BRUTAL AND TWISTED OF AKAZA

- BUT DAMN THIS IS HIS WAY OF MOURNING HOLY FUCK

- EVERY SINGLE STUDENT OF THE RIVAL DOJO?!?!?!?!!??!

- HOLY SHIT ITS MUZAN JACKSON

- DO THE MOONWALK PLS

- OH SHIT THIS IS WHEN MUZAN WAS THINKING ABOUT MAKING THE TWELVE KIZUKI

- OH SHIT AKAZA RLY SAID MOVE BITCH TO MUZAN

- HE PUNCHED AKAZA I REPEAT HE PUNCHED THROUGH AKAZAS SKULL

- i feel like this is sad because it wasnt even muzans fault that the two of them died it was just poison

- he even admits it out loud himself that his own story is sad help

- hes even completely ok with the fact he wont go to the same place as the three most important people in the world to him

- and giyuu is just standing there

- lmao tanjiro is just always yelling for demons to stop

- wait what tanjiro ur sword-???

- oh shit it slipped from his grip

- sorry i snorted at the fact that tanjiro decked akaza in the face instead

- i think im gonna stop there the backstory is over

- i feel horribly empty inside after finishing that chapter

- think i might just go cry

current thoughts on akaza: damn i understand why ppl are so sad about this, holy shit this is so sad like i have no words im probably gonna have to come back to this post tomorrow to give my thoughts after thinking about this all night

[bishiglomper]

Second time seeing my new GP. Saw my lab results last night so i thought i was gonna get the third degree about my eating habits... But she said everything had actually slightly improved since last time. Except my A1C. That was bumped up to 7.0. Which is.. okay. 👀💧

Told her I think the ozempic was giving me a major sweet tooth and its made eating meat hard. And sissy mentioned my stabbing tummy. But that hasnt happened in a few days.

But she was about to stop the ozempic because stabbing in the left side and intolerance to meat means gastroperesis. Which would be bad. I explained my thing with meat was more of an autistic burnout feeling, not that it hurt my tummy.. So I get to keep it. For now. 👀

I'm only 5lbs away from the weight i decided i would be happy with. Like lemme have that, yeah? 😅

She wants to take me off some meds. She said looking at my med list made her nauseous. Ive been on half of those for over a decade so a revamp is overdue. Especially since now im on 2 blood pressure pills and its starting to run a little low..

And FINALLY

A doctor whos wants communication from my other doctors. And not just to send me away to them to have them deal with me.

I have to sign 5 release forms so she can see what all the specialists have done so she can make informed changes. Like my diabetic meds are broken up between 3 docs, none of which were really from endocrinology lmao

Also i told her i hated cardiology and that they were useless. So once she gets those records we said she could play with my heart all she wants. Maybe since she'll have a full picture she wont just tell me to exercise my tachycardia away. 🙄

I also got a flu shot and my depo. So yay.

I had to do the mental health assessment. My sister was with me. That was kind of funny. She had opinions. 😅

Its hard to answer things like that because i am depressed and anxious, but about very specific things. 🤔 like my dysfunctional body. And the house.

In other news, I really need to do laundry. I wore this new bra i had picked up at a thrift store. I thought it was a sports bra, but now im thinking it might be some kind of compression top.

Its very comfy. I like it. Might live in it. 🤔

Normally i wouldn't want to squish my boobs but as long as it doesnt make my gut stand out, i really dont care if i dont have boobs. 🙃

[syrupspinner]

i didnt beat anno: mutateonem

mutateneonaematatiaeteontem

right away, this combat kicks ass. i dont know if ive gone into it, but i dont really click with beat em ups. or is this a hack & slash? is there even a difference besides fists or swords? whatever, it usually doesnt work. ive tried a few different ones, like streets of rage and bayonetta, but like... meh. but this is good. i get it now. i love dodging around choreographed attacks to sneak in hits and stagger defending enemies for a kill strike and HELL YEAH theres a parry. i dont care how much of a stereotype this makes me, im an indie game lover and i pog out every time theres a parry mechanic

this games main genre is rpg, so imagine that instead of random turn-based encounters the game suddenly turns 2d and lets you slice things up. this includes a level up mechanic, with two different curencies, one that you get from mooks and one from bosses. you can also buy different weapons, in both shortsword and broadsword variety, both of which you use concurrently in battle. theres also a gun. you can also buy chips to augment you swords, such as by giving them minor stat bonuses or elemental affinities. there is also also a crafting mechanic, obviously, where you can use the loot you find in treasure chests garbage cans to craft healing items and also weapons. theres also also also the ability to fuse weapon augementation chips together in order to make enhanced chips and yeah thats pretty much where i tapped out

i like rpgs. i promise. i just get easily overwhelmed when theres this much shit ive gotta do between dungeons. ive talked before about feeling "get to" vs "have to" in gaming, and i feel like a lot of these fall into "have to". this is a grocery list i have to check off so my character is the strength the game expects me to be, not a playground i get to strategize in.

how about the plot? well, like... so the main character is ann, and you have her navi-like drone helper piloted by ayane. ayane is the classic bubbly genki type, which i think was executed really well (thats hard to do for me, i hated ibuki mioda) and ann is the classic stoic frowning action hero. the thing is, ayane constantly calls ann darling, and ann is... vaguely annoyed. this could mean fucking anything. is ann just tolerating an affectionate eccentricity? are they already married? some infinitesimally nuanced situationship in between? call me spoiled but im kinda sick of plausibly deniable queerness. its like youre trying to have something queer, but in a way that disney can edit out for the russian release. i know this game is chinese, but i dont know enough about how indie games are treated over there to really comment beyond an acknowledgement. all im saying is that it annoys me when i see writers dodge the word lesbian like yanderedev dodges the word teenager

the plot. anns brother gets kidnapped by the scp foundation my original character the circle consortium when he tried to look for a cure for her mysterious illness. i actually think the main story was pretty well done. its easy to make trailing stories feel like youre just chasing ghosts and wasting your time, but i feel like the game is a good length to subvert this while still making the chase feel engagingly difficult. it helps that you have really cool setpieces like the gang ship dungeon and the sewer society. good stuff

and then the game ended yay! the ending was a bit of a downer but if thats what they... oh nevermind. fans decided the ending was bad so they added an extra hour or two to the endgame

remember the problem i had with affogato? where right at the end there was a difficulty spike that got me stuck for days and ruined my enjoyment of the game? yeah. how the fuck do you defend sigurd. its a thing where you have to stop enemies from encroaching onto the centre of the screen, which is mindlessly easy for 15 minutes, until the game decides that youre going to defeat five juggernauts in riot gear and three landmines with legs in either direction and turrets with railguns firing on all of you. oh shit looks like you and/or the thing youre protecting died in the time it took to explain that.

three days.

id be willing to accept that this is an equipment issue. if, yknow, i could do anything to solve that. i am squarely past the point of no return, i am stuck with what i have. and what i have was more than enough to fight every boss (except the hands, fuck that fight) first try with a little corn juice.

fuck it. im calling it a skill issue and moving on. ive got better things to do

if you wanna pick this game up, go ahead, its not a bad time. the animation is fun and well-made if you dont mind dorkly-style puppet sprites, and there are fun sidequest like the when where someone whos a girl online is secretly a gross man. those sounded backhanded but this is a solid rpg, the combat is good enough to ignore the flaws and the presentation is pretty fantastic. just pretend the game ends when the game tells you that theres no going back, the masked woman didnt do anything and the credits roll. advice: unlock the parry asap and dump as many grumbits as you can into it, take a bathroom break before you get on the ship, dont try to do any sidequests on your first visit to a city/district/whatever cuz the game just doesnt let you, and the number of medalion pieces tell you the floor number.

[10000-paper-nohara-rins]

Yay!! Rin will always have a place in our hearts forever, but branching out's a fun thing to do too! Let's discover the Naruto truths of this world!!!! >:D 1. Most Overrated Character? 9. Which Naruto Fandom Words Are You Allergic To? 10. Is Sakura A Shitty Character Or Shittily Written? 12. Who Should've Died In The War Arc? 15. Is Naruto White-Coded For Having Blonde Hair & Blue Eyes? 18. Ship Wars Or Power Scaling Debates? 19. Pettiest Fandom Opinion You've Blocked Someone For?

1. Most Overrated Character?

hmmmm ok so like. i will say that in general my opinion of characters fluctuates based on their portrayal. like in general i dont love any of the founders but there have been a few fics that really *got* them, and so like i'm willing to stay for that. i guess i don't love iruka? he tends to exist as "cardboard cut out to stand next to kakashi" in a lot of fanworks. i mean, i've seen compelling depictions, i just think that the ratio is pretty skewed. idk.

9. Which Naruto Fandom Words Are You Allergic To?

idk if this counts but i haaaate the word girlboss. put it back. i know its a word many fandoms use but like. no one is allowed to say it until they can give female characters personalities alongside it. umm actual naruto fandom word... well not a word but i dislike the depiction of anbu as more skilled than other ninja in common fanon. on account of i believe their reputation comes from their actions rather than power. you know. doing socially unsavory missions and whatnot.

10. Is Sakura A Shitty Character Or Shittily Written?

SHITTLY WRITTEN women deserve the world and i am so so glad to see all the sakura enjoyers out there forcefully fixing her character. honestly the crush stuff doesn't even bother me much as like a concept, it's just that. well you know. naruto writing. all the power to anyone who decides to keep that and all the power to anyone who overwrites it for their own perspective on her. she deserved better within the writing

12. Who Should've Died In The War Arc?

ughhh SO many more people. well ok i hate the war arc cuz its not even a WAR they're all just fighting one singular objectively evil dude so that everyone can turn their brains off but that is not new news we all know the war arc is bad. um. i do think it could have been drastically improved by more side-characters dying. just to increase the weight of the stakes. i'd def trade hinato for neji so that we could have like. SATISFYING ARC CONCLUSIONS. but whatever. im not really particular about who has to go for the greater good (meaningful stakes) but i do think that gai needed to live because it is funny.

15. Is Naruto White-Coded For Having Blonde Hair & Blue Eyes?

oh wow uhhhm. yes...? maybe? i dont know and i dont think i am qualified enough to have an opinion on this lol

18. Ship Wars Or Power Scaling Debates?

oohhh i dont really engage with either but shipping wars are at least usually really funny to watch. whatever kakashi has going on with every man he's on screen with for like four minutes (nothing)(and yet incredible amounts of sexual tension. apparently.) is really funny to me you mean to tell me we're giving this guy FOUR boyfriends??? before he even has a prozac prescription??? also people arguing about sasusaku and sasunaru are perhaps the biggest clown on the planet because those guys will back up everything they say with screenshots of the manga. i respect the grind. power scaling debates are just kind of annoying lol

19. Pettiest Fandom Opinion You've Blocked Someone For?

oh dude anyone who's not rin posting in the rin tag is getting blocked on sight lmao i'd say that's pretty petty. uhhh also ive blocked like three people who were saying that rin did nothing wrong when she forced kakashi to kill her. thats probably a little petty

[sl33py-g4m3r]

Hate to ask questions on here cause I feel like I’m spamming a little bit when I do~~

Could just play the game to find out~~

Got to learn to be ok with uncertainty and learn as I go cause that’s how we played games as kids~~

Got to train my brain to get used to harder things and not give up~~ maybe I’ll get back to studying The Mystic Script as well~~ (Japanese, lol)

Was gonna ask some questions about what certain things mean but I guess I’ll learn~~

That’s going to be sort of annoying if I get vengeance I think because seeing a screenshot of the status screen, I got used to seeing the iv status screen with abbreviations for things, so just seeing symbols is gonna be fun~~ /sarcasm

So instead of ask; I’ll take a shot in the dark and guess what I think they mean

Repel: I’d assume it’s like counter in Pokemon, where it sends the attack back at whoever cast it

Absorb: absorbs the move and gets healed

Null: a move does no damage (?)

Weak: deals more damage and get the attacker extra press turns in games with them

And I’m assuming absorb only does that if a demon with the absorb element is hit with the element, and in such cases it hits everyone, it’ll hit everyone but the one with element absorb unlike lighting rod ability in Pokemon that automatically absorbs all electric moves used.

Ditto with repel/null I’ll bet. Everyone else would still be hit

And that’s all I can remember for now ~~

Get out of my head and play the game more~~

I got to the “fusion yay~~~~~ super excited” then my brain was like ‘no more game for a while’

I WANNA PLAY GAMES AGAIN dArn iT ~~~~

And I’m not just talking smt, I’m not even playing casual games at the moment either~~

Less in head, more play game~~~ come on~~~ it’ll be fun~~

Trying to talk myself into playing games again and not complaining ~~ my apologies if it sounds like I am~~

Fun but probably meaningless challenge; use demons only of one alignment, lol.

Or how would you nuzlocke smt? But I should just play instead of trying a challenge right off the bat, lol.

First demon you recruit per area? Would that not let you use fusion? Would you have to delete the dead demon from stock instead of fuse it into a new one?

I like challenge runs but also it’s my first ever play through of any game so should just play it normally and do what I think is best ~~

Instead of make it harder for no reason~~

And I like watching them not necessarily playing challenge run myself. I’ve never done a nuzzlocke or anything ~~~

I hope these kinds of posts aren’t annoying ~~~ I feel like they are but I also think I’m being annoying all the time, even though it’s not true probably ~~~

Have fun and don’t get stuck in your head too much ~~

Still got to decide who to fuse and then recruit more cause I don’t have enough macca to get them from the compendium ~~ that might be cheaper anyway actually ~~

I’m thinking when and if I get to playing I’m gonna be fusing and recruiting just to fuse more~~

TLDR less think about it, more do it~~

[wolfisland]

sorry i wish i had something more eloquent to say rn other than "character! i love character!" but i dont remember too many details rn bc its been a long time. though i think you may have just brought my hyperfixation back bc im at work going "oh what if all of them were working in food/customer service" <- do you have any insights? or what kind of life they would lead in a modern AU? or honestly id love it if you just ranted about characters in general IM JUST HAPPY TO TALK TO SOMEONE WHO PLAYED EBONLIGHT YAY

NO ITS OKAY. I UNDERSTAND. CHARACTER I LOVE CHARACTER!! youre speaking my language dw!!!! gonna stick it under a cut so i dont annoy everyone else

that said i think if you put ernol in any kind of day to day customer service job he'd kill himself. i also think haron would end up hating it tbh like hes very Good at People Stuff but ive always felt like harons the kind of autistic (bc as far as im concerned both ernol and haron are autistic) where hes great at masking (ha) but cant really function for extended periods of time doing shallow socialisation. very much a thriving til he isnt type.

laceaga either cant cook period or he's one of those line cooks who, if he hasnt spit in your food, just made you the best meal youve had in your entire life and youll be chasing that high the rest of your life.

in terms of a regular life for everyone though outside of food service based on my memory (now i need to replay it so i can actually know wtf im talking about again) i think the person most likely to genuinely end up in customer service for an extended period of time. unfortunately. it is vadeyn. like a solid 5/10 most days. he definitely has better things to be doing but barely anywhere else is hiring.

really obsessed w the fast food au my brains decided exists actually just because the idea of ernol trying to take someones order through a drive through is gonna make me laugh so hard i throw up get him OUT OF HERE

[pineartblog]

i wrote this as my comeback post on my art instagram, which i had to revive because i was shortlisted for an open call (yay) — but to be perfectly honest the vulnerable captions on my old art ig posts irk me & definitely stop me from using the account… still, it feels wrong to remove them, because they were true at the time. anyway:

hi everyone, it’s been a long time since ive shown my paintings to people… i have been wondering if i would be able to post work if i remained anonymous… but finally due to time constraints i suppose i am just going to put my art here on the same account…

i have actually been painting landscapes since 2020. before that i was in an institutional haze and before that i only painted portraits. i was unable to reconcile all the harmful systems that tell us what “beauty” is and so i decided to avoid drawing people (and hence proposing a certain kind of beauty) completely. i decided i didnt want to represent human beings anymore in my work, and liked the idea that if you painted a landscape the only “human” in the work was the viewer. and me, i suppose.

anyway, it all worked out very nicely because trees and forests have become such a central part of my identity. which i suppose sounds strange, but it is true. i find it quite lovely that my spiritual and artistic lives have converged in this way, or maybe that the seeds were always there just waiting to soften at the right moment…

*

i did the painting plein air sitting on some steps at bukit timah over two 2-hour sittings. painting in public means people stop and look at what you’re doing, which can be stressful but i can’t really blame them, i would be curious too. people are usually very nice. this was my favourite painting of mine for a while, and i tried not to look at it too much for fear that i would start to hate it. i think i’m a lot better about that now, and am sometimes pleasantly surprised by my old paintings.

anyway, plein air is super fun and forces me to actually finish my paintings. i always love being in the company of trees, i feel their gentle support which makes me feel far happier than when i’m painting alone in my room by the harsh light of the table lamp that they market for young children writing 作文 (compositions).

quick rambles from phone bfore i fall asleep

- they got my ass. I was fully in camp "beato had a rushed redemption bcs well she really likes battler i guess" It was so meticulously planned. All the way from battler going Hmm imagine having a girlfriend haha... at the very start to beatos sprites to her vas phenomenal performance in changing personality to EVA beatrices existence to EVERYTHING

- It does make me wonder what is real and what isnt at all Like rn im under the impression that whatevers happening i shouldnt trust what i see because the witches r capable of just making up and showing Situations especially to battler

- Idc im calling them witches now bcs it makes sense but a good point was raised though I cant imagine what the "shabby form" is. Maybe its a hateful way of saying theyre just humans with power but i dont really know This would be supported by what happened to eva Ur just a human until a big witch gives u power (lambda bern and well beato kinda)

- Remember when i said "if eva kills someone i wont be too surprised" at the very start. Jesus fucking crgist

- Like okay eva we get it i Am surprised. Thanks

- Although i cant properly rationalize it all being evas doing im deciding to think of this as the First time theres a human culprit among the 18 that we know of ok

- It does make me wonder.. i have to reread my own tweets ab 1 and 2... i rmbr natsuhi and rosa being the women in charge but i wouldnt say either of them have been murdering like eva just now

- but natsuhi and rosa i can both imagine having some bitterness in their hearts enough to make up a witch... My pattern seeking brain wants to think kyrie is ep4 center then. However thats not actually too likely because she did dump her regrets at that one part already idk why we should see a whole ep about it

- I hope anges like physically there next time shses cute and fun. But probs not shes going there as a witch yes. Mmh More her anyway i looove her already she has some battlerisms and well shes kyries daughter wtf

- Yay

- Lots of good scenes top 3 well hmm

- HONORARY MENTIONS: blind jessica and ghost kanon escape, beatrice and battler "fighting", kyrie and rudolf solo the two sisters of the seven stakes, lambdas behavior going from what seemed like an idiot toddler to Well That, eva beatrices ceremony party thing coronation, the famous lambda lines abt bern

- The mask of the golden land dropping was #awesome do u know how ive felt abt the Name ange mentioned past few days the little ""spoiler"" hit the tl towers at a PERFECT time Beatrices old laugh being back Battlers disbelief Virgilia eyes open twisted expression The whole golden land thing being a little weird but at this point i trusted beato with my whole heart so i couldve never pinpointed why it felt weird It was all virgilias plan Everything is so What the FUCK

- shannon and kanon are promised a gruel violent death but instead get to die peacefully by genjis hand Seriously its just kanon and shannon but that set me off so bad i was crying irl thats somewhat rare these days wow Something something the furniture who wish to be humans so bad get a humane death in the end (Not the end #Lol)

- of course. Bernkastel recognising ange as a golden witch what the hell I have to see ANGE Beatrice NOW but ill wait ill wait Oh bernkastel i love you...

- soundtracks been phenomenal this ep

- i love it here

- beato save me

- i chanhed my mind she and battler those two wont be friends yup Cant wait how ange gets incorporated in next round. Ok. See U

[thesugarhole]

so i think it was saturday i had a free two hours or so and since i was done with 2kki updates then (i know i saw dont mention it im waiting it out till the end of the week) i thought hey lets finally go finish dd2, i left the campaign right outside the 5th mountain

so i go in there and have a much easier time because i remember the gimmicks, and i reach the hateful god. and i painstakingly whittle down the hp from 999 to about 100 without once getting face your failures. and im like hey! what gives! did not dawn on me once that maybe i had to kill those two babies at the same time first.... and im still not sure if that was what didnt trigger it because when i finally got a ghost it only took up one slot since hateful god is strictly in the middle. but well, its nice to know for the future runs. so i defeated them! (me?)

the ending cinematic is alright but i think the one from the first game impacted me more. i think, might be rose tinted glasses, havent gone back and compared. ~85 hours total, first game i think was ~92 hours before i went into dlc and achievement hunting

so here comes the real meat of dd2, which is completionism and achievos. i highly doubt ill be able to unlock every single item thats not bought at the altar of hope, but theres nothing really quantifying them anyway so im not that bothered by it.

first achievo i want to get after completing the game is defeat death, since ive only ever seen her in the flashback. so i go at it in denial since its one of the shortest chapters, and as im reaching the brain, having gone to every single fight possible, im thinking mhm. what are the actual chances of getting her? 6%. bad idea to have started with this one, and i only got to 1 shrine too for the characters i havent finished the stories yet, so this run might have been a waste.

the very last battle, before the inn before the mountain, she shows up so yay! i got good luck. and of course, promptly got her ass kicked, so i unlocked the chievo. teehee

forgot to party wipe to denial so im gonna have to do it one more time with that in mind. also, i think this was the first run i was able to complete with a hard difficulty flame on (the very first on the list, i think infernal?, im currently in the process of unlocking stuff by 1 cheapest / 2 useful) and i wasnt trying very hard, so maybe ive finally gotten decent at the current mechanics.

i decided to look at what i hadnt gotten yet and make a list from easiest to hardest so i dont risk like, going for the worst thing first while disregarding easy wins. after that, my next run my goals were:

master 5 skills in one hero: fairly easy in a fuck-it run. surprised i never did it before i finished the game, even. i guess i distributed mastery points as evenly as possible.

heal disease, remove negative quirk, lock positive quirk: it was at the top for easiest, but a lack of money and lack of disease getting could make the going tough. at the first inn, i got a slime mold: it has 5% chance of giving a disease. i thought hmm... i never got a disease from this thing though. oh well theres no more food so eat up occultist. (he gets a disease) :)! and i had an hospital scouted right away, so this one was easy peasy

defeat a lair boss (killing blow) with the bounty hunter: his poster also showed up right away, so i replaced him with the jester and went.... to the tangle. yeahp. was actually very easy because i took zero chances: everyone either buff up teammates, attack the roots or move around. bh is the only one damaging the general (save a starting move or two from highwayman/occultist). surprised very few people have this one, but id bet its hard to unlock naturally.

defeat 3 lair bosses in one run: i was aiming for this one too but then i realized the first confession only gives me two regions. oops.

hero shrines: wip. currently trying to finish alhazreds. otherwise my team is *my* usual suspects (V, J, HWM, FreeSpace).

party wipe to all confession bosses: wip. im with the lungs denial again atm but still at the start of the run because i wasnt able to touch the game since.

i guess im sharing because being able to do all this in rapid fire succession was good rng and luck and made me feel happy. made me feel like the guy smiling with its hands on its knees. AND it has the jester outfit on. imperative. hold on let me get it

^ i named this image silly.png

here's my list, easiest to hardest (to MEEEE):

i have (x?) next to some inn names because im not sure if ive already been there or not, since the images/names sounded familiar when looking them up. but this one is not something i can control (and am also surprised i havent unlocked it during mainline gameplay, guessing i got many repeats- they might have rarity variables that i currently have no idea if they can be influenced or not) so its play until it unlocks. i like to keep 'missing' lists just because

i dont have a shamblino (shambler + bambino, hope you like it) equipped in my current run because i didnt want to make things unnecessarily harder when going for the other ones, so that one will have to wait until all my heroes get breathed on too hard by resentment. pass their turns to death. its actually a bigger effort to die to denial than it is killing it jesus

thats all i guess. have a good week everyone

Sugar, sugar

(genuinely hate coming up with titles lol)

this is just rowaelin being pining idiots, one of my fave tropes for day 11--delayed love confession

just a note, the lifestyle in this fic is more of a background note and doesnt really take centre stage in this fic. it’s one ive been tempted to write for a while tbh but didnt really get around to it until now

cw: very, very light smut (like barely non existent, but just in case), a lil bit of swearing

enjoy! :)

3k words (officially my longest fic, yay!)

Every thought in Aelin's mind was blank. She trudged through her apartment that she shared with Nehemia, absentmindedly kicking off her heels that Rowan purchased for her months ago. Then the light jacket she wore joined the shoes, the fabric was perfectly soft and perfect for the autumn chill.

It was yet another piece of item that Rowan purchased for her. A lot of the things she had know were thanks to Rowan, either from his own wallet or from the biweekly allowance he sent her—a generous allowance that was a thousand times better than her weekly paycheck from the bookstore she'd been working at since she turned twenty-two; her business degree had turned out to be useless and so she turned to the bookstore that had been her stable job for three years.

Aelin barely touched her weekly wage now, it was practically buried underneath the money the Rowan gave her.

Because Rowan Whitethorn, thirty-five and a successful CEO who was well known, was her sugar daddy. Had been now for fourteen months. But he was more than that, more than just a man that paid her to spend time with him. He respected her, was loyal to her, listened to her and responded with actual sentences instead of a word or two like other men she had dated. He was charming, didn't treat her like she was nothing but arm candy, and she knew him so well, as he knew her, and each fortnight she sometimes forgot their whole arrangement, but she was sharply reminded when she received the notification from her bank that the two and a half thousand dollars that Rowan sent her was now in her savings account.

When she agreed to their arrangement after several get-to-know you dates, Rowan had wanted to give her three and a half grand every week, and gods Aelin had been tempted because she had never had so much money in her life, but told him that it was far too much and negotiated.

Two and a half thousand was the lowest that Rowan was willing to go, and even though Aelin only knew him for two weeks at that point, she could tell that he would not budge, so she agreed to the amount.

The first time that money had landed in her account, Aelin had thought that maybe she had imagined the whole thing, but the money was a sharp reminder of what she know was—a sugar baby. Those words still didn't feel like they applied to her.

And he still spent money on her when they spent time together. Just last week he gifted her with diamond earrings in the shapes of roses with a necklace to match. She wore them tonight, not because he bought them for her but because she genuinely loved the pieces.

Needing something sweet—despite the fact she had only finished her chocolate hazelnut gelato twenty minutes ago—she dug through her fridge and found the brownies that Nehemia had baked the other day. She told herself that she would leave some for her long-time friend, but Aelin really doubted that would happen.

Aelin relished in the cold air of the fridge as she found the new can of whipped cream on the top shelf. The fridge was one of the first things she purchased with the money she was now being gifted with (and after that came a new washer and dryer, a dish-washing machine and television. Almost everything in her apartment was brand new now, the food were actual brands instead of the generic, tasteless shit. She had bras that fit her properly and were so damned comfortable that she forgot she was wearing them half the time).

The old fridge was a cheap hunk of junk that she and Nehemia purchased off Facebook marketplace for a hundred dollars, it barely kept things cold, but with expensive rent and bills and general life things, Nehemia and her couldn't afford anything better.

Which was how she ended up in this situation. Picking up more shifts barely gave them anything extra, because the economy right now in Terrasen was shit. Nehemia had made a joke about needing sugar daddies, and Aelin, knowing that Nehemia could never really do such a thing, had decided that maybe it was a good idea.

Nehemia had told Aelin that she was insane for pursuing such a thing, and that she had only been joking, but Aelin was not and that she could handle herself if things went wrong.

Nehemia had told her not to do anything, but Aelin was determined and started her search. It had taken a while to find a website that was genuine and didn't make her feel like she had to scrub her eyes out with bleach.

She created her page in private, because she not only was Nehemia against the idea, but so was Elide and Lysandra—she didn't dare tell Aedion what she was doing. Her cousin could be an overprotective pain in her ass at times, and Aelin was very well aware that if Aedion caught wind of what she was doing, he would have locked her up in her room without any type of device so she couldn't go forward with her plan.

She appreciated their concern, she did, but she was a consenting, tax-paying adult, and if she wanted to use her time to get paid spending time with a rich man, then Aelin was allowed to do exactly that.

It wasn't prostitution, she had looked it up, because it was the sugar babies that had the power and so that was how it went with her and Rowan.

Aelin didn't even have sex with Rowan until it was the sixth month anniversary of her and Rowan's...relationship (and gods, it was the best sex Aelin ever had. Rowan was a generous and completely unselfish lover).

He was the first one she came across on the site and almost drooled down herself when she saw his picture. Silver hair, pine-green eyes, a beautiful tattoo down the length of his left arm and tanned skin, he was stupidly attractive and only ten years old than her.

Aelin messaged him first only after being on the site for ten minutes, deciding that surely he was the best one and that she needn't bother to look at any other candidates.

They hit it off straight away, and after deciding on a restaurant to meet at, Aelin had informed Nehemia of the matter, which she was promptly met with question after question: why can't a thirty-four year old man find someone his own age? Is he one of those men that can't date a woman five minutes older than him because of some stupid made up reason? How do you know for certain that it's him in the picture? What if he's cat-fishing you? What if he's a freak, or a killer? What if he's just pretending to be rich to kidnap you? What if, what if, what if?

And so after a heated discussion, Nehemia had come along on her date-that-wasn't-really-a-date and sat a few tables away from her and Rowan, watching them—especially him—the entire time like a hawk.

Aelin had completely forgotten that her friend was there, so enraptured by Rowan and what he did and how he saw life.

It had been fourteen months of seeing Rowan and genuinely enjoying spending time with him and weeks ago, she realised that she wanted it to be something more. That she had come to care for him, not because of the money, but purely because it was Rowan and he made her feel seen and he wasn't afraid of her, because she had once been told by an ex that she could be too much and that he couldn't handle all her baggage.

Aelin wanted a life with him.

So Aelin told Rowan she loved him when he dropped her off tonight after their dinner and a movie date, telling him how she felt, and he had said thank you. He gave her a chaste kiss on the cheek and went home, leaving behind the pine-and-snow scent of him.

Aelin really wanted to find a hole to crawl into and die.

She was scarfing down her third brownie when Nehemia's bedroom door opened, her friend clad in an old matching pj set, her slippers shuffling across the tile.

“What happened? Are you okay?” her friend asked upon seeing Aelin's guttered look. Her dark brows furrowed. “Did that bastard hurt you? If he did, I'll—”

“He didn't do anything,” Aelin interrupted her friend. Taking the food, Aelin planted herself on the teal blue velvet sofa Rowan gave her for Yulemas last year, ignoring the scent of not just him, but of them both from when he came over after work just the other day with pizza and a DVD that she insisted that she watched because it was too good not to, when they forgot all about the movie as Rowan buried himself inside her, leaving hickeys all over her neck that she had to cover up with thick concealer.

Nehemia joined her on the couch, her friend momentarily forgetting for now that she had walked in on her and Rowan just moments after they finished, muttering under her breath in Eyllwe as she glared at them defiling the couch, and gave her a look that Aelin knew that Nehemia would listen to every word that came out from her.

And when Aelin was done recounting the story, all Nehemia could come up with was, “Oh.”

“Yes, 'oh,'. I've probably fucked up the whole thing. So don't be surprised if I call you on your lunch break tomorrow telling you he's broken things off.”

“Aelin, I don't think he will. I know that I'm not the biggest fan of your...situation—”

“I'm aware,” Aelin said, cutting her friend off. “You still won't let me buy you a new mattress, even though yours is hard as a brick and lumpy as hell. I've told you that you can pay me—”

“Aelin,” Nehemia said, “we're not talking about mattresses right now. As I was saying, I doubt he'll break things off because I've seen the way he looks at you. I still think he's too old for you, but he cares for you. You probably just caught him by surprise.”

“How does he look at me?” Aelin was observant, but sometimes when she was with Rowan, all her observation skills went out the window.

“Like he loves you,” Nehemia said, no hint of doubt in her voice.

Aelin sighed, her feelings slowly starting to crush her. “I guess I'll just have to take your word for it.”

Sighing once more, Aelin put the food back in the fridge, showered and went to bed, forgoing her usual night texting ritual with Rowan.

She really wasn't looking forward to tomorrow.

X X X X X X

Rowan couldn't concentrate, which wasn't a good thing, since his job dealt with having to concentrate all the time. But no matter what mind-focusing techniques he did, he couldn't stop thinking about Aelin.

Couldn't stop thinking about how she said she was in love with him. How her beautiful eyes had been sparkling when she said those words to him. And how the light in them dimmed when he said thank you and kissed her on the cheek, telling her that he would talk to her later. But he hadn't texted her, nor did she.

I love you, Rowan. I'm in love with you.

Thank you. He really couldn't believe that was what he said. Felt like an utter fool and a bastard as he realised he probably crushed her heart. Aelin didn't like being vulnerable, and she had been when she said those words and he had gone and fucked it all up.

Rowan loved Aelin, he did, but he truly wasn't prepared for those words. He loved how on the weekends they would be up at one am, baking chocolate goodies, dancing in the quiet kitchen, humming quietly to Aelin's classical music playlist, with her wearing not the nightgowns that he loved, but one of his old hoodies.

He didn't think that he would get along with her so well once they met, thinking that their online interactions were nothing but a fluke. He was moments away from deleting the profile because he didn't actually create it, but Fenrys had, his friend grumbling that he needed a girlfriend, with Rowan arguing that creating a profile on a sugar daddy site was not dating but probably the opposite, when Aelin messaged him.

His life-long friend didn't listen, much to Rowan's annoyance—but he didn't grab his phone out of his friends hand; Rowan blamed it on the several whiskys he had downed by that point.

Aelin bewitched him on that first meet up. She was intelligent as hell and funny, and creative and beautiful. He was aware of why she was on the date with him, but he didn't care, just as long as he got to see her again.

Fourteen months later and Rowan was still bewitched. He wanted to be with her on a permanent basis, but wasn't completely sure how to take that step.

Clearly, Aelin had taken that step for them, and Rowan was the worlds biggest moron.

I love you, Rowan. I'm in love with you.

Thank you.

Groaning, Rowan turned away from his computer and looked at the skyline, ignoring the buildings to instead watch the puffy clouds drift by.

Aelin loved watching the clouds, loved stargazing, loved questioning about the universe and what the skies held.

He never really paid any of that stuff attention, not until he met her.

Rowan didn't want to lose her, didn't want her to think that he was about to break up with her over this. He had to see her, so he grabbed his keys and wallet, told his secretary to hold his calls for the rest of the day, and went to visit Aelin.

X X X X X X

It had been an usually busy day for a Wednesday and Aelin was glad for her lunch break as she trudged up to the roof of the shopping centre. She wasn't really allowed up here, but she wanted some fresh air and to feel the sun against her skin as she sat down and dug into her lunch—fast food, unfortunately for her, because she was so frazzled from last night that she completely forgot about making a pack lunch.

Rowan hadn't called her, or texted her. Not even an email had been sent her way.

Aelin hated that she felt so damned mopey. She was an independent woman, but gods, even a good morning text would have been fine.

She finished her lunch, popping several mints into her mouth to get rid of the onion taste, when the roof door crashed open and a familiar hulking figure came into view.

He must have spoken to Elide to find her here.

Aelin's brow furrowed. “Rowan, what are you doing here?” Oh gods, surely he wasn't going to break up with her, she still had hours to go; there'd be no way she could work if she had tears in her eyes.

Taking her hands in his, Aelin stood up. She steeled herself against whatever he was going to say.

“I love you, Aelin. I'm in love with you, too,” Rowan said, his eyes soft and full of genuine love. Aelin's heart shot up into her throat. “I want a life with you. I want us to buy a home, one that has warmth and character, and a big garden. I want a dog. And kids too, if you want, I know that you've never mentioned it, but if you don't want any then that is completely fine. I want to support you in whatever endeavors you want to take, and if you ever want to go back to university, then I'll support you, or if you want to find a way to use your business degree, I'll help you with that, too. Whatever you want Aelin, I'll give it to you, as long as you're by my side, I'll be happy.”

Aelin was silent for so long that Rowan thought that maybe he shocked her into silence. But eventually, she smiled, one that was dazzling in its beauty that it took his breath away.

“You love me?”

“I do, Aelin, I love you.”

She kissed his cheek. “Thank you.”

Rowan groaned at the amusement in her tone, in her eyes. “You're never going to let me live that down, are you?”

She smirked. “Definitely not. It'll be a nice story to tell our children...one day. For now, I think we should contend with being proper significant others.”

Rowan nodded, smiling. “I like the sound of that.”

“Good, because I need to get back to work, since I'm no longer accepting your allowances. I won't deny the use of your credit card, but other than that, you are no longer my sugar daddy.”

It was Rowan's turned to smirk, and it was the one that made her core clench. “How about I be 'daddy' instead?”

Aelin snorted, even as she clenched around nothing again. Smacking his arm lightly, Aelin kissed him. “Only if you behave,” she said against his lips, “and now I really need to go back to work.”

Rowan walked her back, their fingers laced together, and as she turned to say goodbye, Aelin said, “I'll see you later, daddy.”

Rowan groaned, and it took everything in him not to take her hand and into his car to have his wicked way with her.

By the time he thought of a response, Aelin was already back to work, helping a customer with an impressive stack of books in her arms.

But she knew he was still there, because the way she swayed her hips to the counter was all for him, and when she saw him watching her, Aelin winked, making Rowan's heart flutter in his chest.

He really did love her. And he would live with her teasing him for the rest of his life, just as long as she was with him.

DEAR ADULT READERS/CREATORS,

18+ (MINORS DO NOT INTERACT)

^ see that? there is absolutely no way you missed that disclaimer if you understand the proper way to read english. but, let’s say you did miss it... here’s this message;

if you are under the age of 18, do not interact with 18+ adult accounts, or content.

there. hopefully you got the memo. if not, then i guess, one day, you’ll have the great opportunity to be featured in this brand new series of exposing, purging, and reporting minors! i mean... yay you?

disclaimer!; do not send any unnecessary hate to any of these people! it does not solve anything, and it could get you in trouble. just report, and block. thanks.

featured today, we have (drumroll please)... @/matching-with-my-demons!

warning: this post is very long!

alright, so i don’t actually know for sure if he’s necessarily a minor, but i do know that he’s been lying his age, and many, many other details about his life, leading to him getting caught by yours truly.

from this point forward, i will be reciting a briefed account of what exactly happened from a collective point of view of all of the victims involved.

I. beginning.

so, (and i think all of the people involved can agree,) this person is a flirt. automatically. just giving everyone pet names, talking about doing stuff with us, role playing with us, you know. nothing too extreme. i wasn’t suspicious of him at this point. i mean, i was sure he was 18+. to be fair, he did mention that he was 21 turning 22. why wouldn’t we believe him? he was speaking like an adult.

II. little lies & suspicion.

now, i’m not saying that this is impossible, but at multiple times during our conversations, he’d mentioned that he was was fluent in seven languages. seven. it’s not entirely impossible, but you’d think that if english wasn’t someone’s first (of many) languages, they’d have some sort of accent, right?

not only that, but he stated that he was six years old when he moved to america from japan, and he hasn’t moved since. i know, i know, yeah, cool he knows a lot of languages, and he’s a foreigner. yadda, yadda. get to the point.

he said that he was of asian descent, and that his parents were both japanese, and they lived in japan their whole lives. where the hell is he learning all of these extra languages at the young age of 21?

if japanese is his first language, we can cut out the time needed to become fluent in it. next, i’m ignoring english, as he would’ve had from the age of 6 to 21 to become fluent in it, but somehow he claimed he wasn’t? (let’s not mention the obvious fake misspellings and misunderstandings of simple words.) how on earth would he have become fluent in (at least) five other languages in middle school-high school?

OTHER LITTLE LIES N DETAILS

- he claimed that he was a 6’7, 21 year old (cis) male.

- said he was a stripper, bartender, and a sex worker (we’ll come back to that later).

- sent a picture of “his” chest, but it was 100% from google or some shit.

- (not judging anyone who does) he said that his body count was 74, but literally no one asked?

- he texted us when he “got another body” tf? we don’t care. carry on, i guess. (said he went on for like 7 rounds but... what?)

- talked about getting a vibrator stuck in his ass n his roommate had to get it out for him, but once again, nobody asked. °-°

- said he could bench 200 lbs. not impressive, just thought it was worth mentioning.

- said he had the same birthday as bakugou, which, okay.. (4/20)

- he made multiple channels in the server where he could roleplay with certain people, which, i, and a couple other people never used.

III. the voice chat.

after a while of all of us messing around, the conversation started to get heated, and some of us were teasing him, including me. we decided to get on voice chat (his idea), and he started talking into the mic. all of us were very confused, as he did not at all sound like a giant of a grown man.

but, despite this, we all warily continued, until he left the call. when he left, everyone who was participating voiced their current concerns, and laughed out our nervousness. that is, until he re-joined and everyone muted. he continued doing what he was doing until he “broke character”, stating he was a voice actor and it was hard to keep up that voice because it hurt his throat. i would’ve believed him if he didn’t sound the exact same as he did when he was “in character”.

after that, we were a lot more concerned and on edge about his identity, and i started to focus more on the shit he was telling us, hoping to find out who the fuck this person really was. i stopped interacting with him in a nsfw way, and mostly observed what he was saying, just watching from the sidelines.

II. the pictures.

captions:

not only do the skin colors just not match up, the hands in each picture are totally different people. even if you take into account the lighting differences, the undertones should still be the same. these pictures are fake.

if you look at the fingers, you can see that the ones on the right are flatter, and shorter. if the hand on the left were to hold that phone, it would wrap all the way around the device.

from a common sense standpoint, we know that our palms are always lighter than our skin tone. the fact that the hand on the left is still darker, proves that these are different people. (not that we needed proof.)

also, if this guy is so muscular, why can he only bench 200lbs? and why is his wrist so skinny?

+ to me, the phone, (right image) and the quality of the picture, looks like a black iphone 4s. from what i can see, at least. meaning, if i’m correct, that picture is majorly outdated.

for both pictures, he flipped the image so that we wouldn’t be able to find it by just by reverse image searching. luckily, one of the people involved was able to figure that out, and told me immediately.

III. ID check.

like i said before, a lot of us were starting to get really suspicious, but at this point, i thought i was the only one that was sketched out, so i issued another ID check.

(be sure to click on the pictures. one of them is really long. also, when reading, read the date and times that messages are sent. i was trying to lighten the mood and be nice, but it was honestly so offensive that he thought i was legitimately dumb.)

so, obviously, these ID’s are fake. not only are the pictures the exact same, but the backgrounds are the same, the outfits are the same, the names are totally fake, and just, wow. i don’t really know how he thought that was gonna slip past me.

after i called both him, and @/yourmajesty-theking out, he went into his own discord and started ranting to some of the other people involved that he was freaking out because he didn’t have his ID.

remember how i said that he mentioned he was a stripper/bartender/sex worker? why the fuck don’t you have your ID on you if you claimed you were at work that day? you can’t get in without it. °-° just- everything he was saying didn’t come together cleanly. the timeline is all sorts of fucked up.

you can’t drive without an ID, how are you getting to work? you can’t get into a strip club without an ID, how are you getting in? you can’t serve alcohol without and ID, how are you a bartender? you can’t get an apartment without an ID, how are you living with a roommate?

he told us that he moved to america with his PARENTS, and somehow his grandmother is in america now? when did that happen? if you’re gonna lie, at least make it believable.

IV. conclusion.

anyway, do what you want with this information. the people in the discord all agreed that based off his voice and the evidence, that he couldn’t have been older than 15, and at most, 16.

though he hasn’t deactivated his account, the last time he was active was april 7, 2021 at 12:39am (EST) he claims he lives in cali, so i don’t know what time that is there.

thanks for reading. i’m sure i missed a lot of stuff, but for now, this is all i could put together. also, lmk if there are any spelling errors. i’m too tired to check.

like i said, if i get any hate for calling out a minor, you will be blocked/reported, and i will not hesitate to turn anons off for the time being. besides, saying dumb shit doesn’t affect me. just makes me laugh.
