there's an overwhelming silence in her room. chambers so empty, that the fierce quiet turns into a loud ringing, making sleep impossible. not that this was an issue, as the loud silence competed with the endless thoughts that rattled sansa's brain on repeat. she would sleep when she's dead, she often mused. though nights like these make these quips seem more a reality than not.
despite the many years away from winterfell, it seemed her body worked on some sort of autopilot. it walked the very halls of her childhood, almost as a comfort. her route has been changed some, as now she resides in the chambers that once belonged to her parents, but she still always ended up in the same place at the end. first, she'd scale the halls that belonged to her and arya, eventually headed towards her brothers quarters. sansa would end in the great hall, where she'd trace fingers along tables and chairs that were once decorated with various members of the stark family. northerners always joked the starks had their own litter of pups, and yet this litter has dwindled down to few, and of those few, only she remained in these very walls.
hiking her night skirt up, sansa lays upon the top of an empty long dining table. these were only filled when large celebrations were to be held, and she recalls the last time she sat here well. they were celebrating robert baratheon's arrival to winterfell. arya threw food at her across the row, robb having to remove her from the feast. a smile forms upon chapped lips, eyes shut, almost as if she can transport there once more. simpler times. what she wouldn't give to go back.
a rustling from the entrance of the room disturbs her, and through raised tully eyes, she can tell sandor clegane, sworn shield, has entered the room. sansa shouldn't be shocked he's awake, as she's sure his dreams are plagued with far worse terrors than her own. yet, all the same, there's an overwhelming sadness she feels when thinking that he could be burdened with the feelings she possesses herself.
❝ what good does it do me if my sworn shield is just as sleep deprived as i am? ❞ she teases, a slight smirk on her face. yet, she never raises her head from her position laying on the table top. despite the troubles that weigh down, there's comfort in his company that she has yet to find in anyone else up north at this time. scooting to the side, she makes room on the surface. dainty hands tap the wood, indicating there's a spot for sandor beside her. ❝ come, let me show you how i waste my nights away. if you're silent enough, the past comes to life and decorates these very rooms. though, that may be the desperation and insanity talking. ❞ there's a slight chuckle, despite the vulnerability showcased. it only goes to prove how at ease she feels around him. how sandor makes her feel safe.
BEEEEEE!!!!!!

Today being the last day of 3ds online has me feeling very nostalgic and wistful. I love the switch but it does not have the magic of the 3ds. It's not just about dual screens, it was the accessibility. It was less expensive, more portable, had more cheap games you could play with your friends, and a lot of people underestimate just how fantastic some 3ds games are. Streetpass alone was a phenomenon, and along with 3ds menu themes, illustrates a sort of magic that I feel nintendo has been losing sight of since the switch.
With the way games are going in the modern day (higher price tags and system reqs, tons of focus on AAA titles, people needing graphics to be absurdly good for no practical reason), I find myself latching onto my older games more and more. Sure, some of it is a nostalgia-tinted lens, memories from a happier and simpler time of life. But that doesn't have to be a bad thing.
Even after the online services go down, I'll always be playing my 3ds until the hardware breaks to unusability and I can't find another one. I'll play locally with my friends whenever we can. I lament how things must change, but I go on anyway. Here's to my favorite console ever made, may it never really die.
Can we talk about how Macaque sees what other people (LBD Peng Wukong) do and mimics them? Can we talk about how his whole thing in jttw is copying monkey king and trying to replace him and how LMK actually keeps that going but in the context of a performer? You can hear echos of the way Peng talks to Macaque in how Macaque talks to Mk during shadowplay and every other interaction before he starts to chill out. You can see and hear echos of how the Lady Bone Demon treats and speaks to Macaque in how he interacts with Mei and Mk and the rest of the crew during season 3. You can see the way he tries to mimic what he believes Wukong is until he realizes he's way off-base. You can see how he mimics Monkey King's cockiness when he needs to feign confidence. You can see the way he mimics those with power to show he has power. And when that performance ends... well, he's actually pretty chill. Look at him he's quieter and more chill, less broody, content with not being the main focal point when they're planning, he doesn't even argue with Monkey King during the season 4 finale at any point because the performance is over. i DUNNO I'M JUST THINKING AND I THINK IT'S KINDA NEAT I DUNNO IF THEY DID THAT ON PURPOSE OR IF IT'S COINCIDENCE I FEEL LIKE IT WAS ON PURPOSE IN THIS ESSAY I WILL-
TONY: Standing next to sunflowers always makes me feel weak. Like, 'look at this fucking flower. This flower is taller than I am. This flower is winning and I am losing.'
STEPHEN: Wow, you are not ready to hear about trees.
Quackity: Oh, it's gonna be so cool to see how this develops. I'm excited, I'm gonna try my best. I'm not the greatest at Minecraft whatsoever, I did nerf Green Team a little bit by accident on the second day. My bad! But, you know, I'm so ready to just grind out and see what we can do, and I just–
I wish everyone saw it with the same amount of, like, kind of enthusiasm. I think all of this and all the development and all the potential arcs, that's going to fcking allow for something absolutely incredible.
And if anyone ends up clipping any of this, something I do want to say is I implore people to view everything with a lot of enthusiasm. No stress, no anxiety, just a lot of enthusiasm. Because, again, this is going to allow for a lot of cool things in the server. Not just now, but in the future, too.
