#I'll max out tags

[kirbyddd]

one thing that's just one of my weird little personal wishes, i really wish gandalf used more of his Hobbit style alchemical "magic" in LoTR, he really only uses it for fireworks at the very beginning then he mainly just uses his ring and divine authority

#which it makes sense thematically that he doesn't wield much of his true divine power during the Hobbit but does during LotR #because it's not just a magical “power” to be used.. it's divine autonomy that only has potency in his realm of authority #which his only authority in the mundane realm is as a single man #but in LoTR he is granted high authority over the non-native spirits of middle earth. able to strip saruman of his own and turn wraiths #and even directly contest sauron's influence over the ringbearer granting frodo a moment of free will on amon hen #but in the Hobbit when dealing with goblins and dragons all he can do is wield alchemical tricks accented by his ring's command over flame #thought i expect he commanded far greater power against the necromancer in dol guldur. particularly when following saruman's command #who did already have White authority #standing tall in the spiritual realm.. naught but an old man in the mundane realm. it lends a deeper layer to the imagery of him sitting #alongside aragorn and glorfindel at elrond's banquet... appearing even more kingly to frodo's eyes than the elfstone himself. #because at that table it was the spiritual form that was seated with highest majesty.. rather than worldly influence #though aragorn possessed a spiritual nature approaching even that of elves.. he still appeared a prince next to elders of the First Age #and beyond the First Age even to the timeless dawn of creation itself #even shrouded in Grey.. gandalf dwarfed him #LoTR is a monolith. what a truly rich tapestry of life #tolkien you have far surpassed the anglo saxon chronicler poets you so revered... and woven something that will endure even longer #rest well #oh yeah i was gonna write something about why he didnt use his ring much in the Hobbit too but that'll max out tags #oh yeah i was gonna say something about why he didnt use his ring much in the hobbit but i guess i said enough #I'll max out tags

MASSIVE SPOILER for one of the endings.

it's been a while since i tried looking, but i did hear that something like this happens last year and over time started to think, "was it a fluke?" bc no one posted footage or caps of it then, and i aimed for a completionist run in my first playthrough. turns out it's real! and definitely shines a new light on a character that, for most other types of playthroughs, will not give this much emotion! EDIT: transcript now included, and some stillshots under the cut

[0:28] Marie: Henry, this is the man who kept you from doing the right thing tonight. Kill him. [0:15] Forrest: Henry, you don’t have to do this. If you’ve not killed anyone yet, there’s still time to make the right decision. [0:05] Out of shot: (Gunshots) Henderson Police! Freeze! Marie: No! Henry, get out of there!

#killer frequency #henry barrow #these hands……… #so yes MORE spoilers and further commentary ahead here in the tags: #yes this is a fairly tragic ending if you already know how to get it. but again TERRIFIC VOICE ACTING BEFOREHAND AND AFTER. #feel free to reply in post if you want to ask about that part. #i didn't include that in the vid bc it's so visceral and raw but i love their performances. that shit hit hard dang. #but i want to ask anyone if their perspective on henry changes after seeing this? mine does tbh. i didn't expect a possible show of remorse #like at most hesitation! but bc of the context of forrest's dialogue- does it lean into remorse? a large definite shift in his mind! #even if he Has killed already then he's still taking forrest's words to heart and reconsidering everything which DAMN- #-my videogamey headcanon of forrest's character stats showing his Persuasion and Charm MAXED OUT is pulling tf through here!! #also can anyone reply re: would forrest's dialogue change but he still survives if henry kills maurice or murphy? or would forrest die? #and if the devs Actually gave henry other official kills in the game but didn't disclose them in the narrative- then is this the test? #like if henry kills AT ALL in game even though the player isn't privy to knowing which victims are his then is this ending unattainable? #also placing this scene/character moment behind THIS ENDING SPECIFICALLY heck that's cold. dang fellas. #going to eventually pull out a hc i've been holding back for a long time in a later post and i'll mention this scene again then- #-but this part in particular as well as another “easter egg” has really put more fuel to it

rebel robin: surviving the upside down

(in which robin gets taken along with will to the upside down.)

“Woah,” Robin says, her breath coming out like a puff of smoke in the frigid air. The blue atmosphere is worse outside, the asbestos flakes falling like snow instead of the stagnant flakes inside Robin’s house.

It’s Hawkins. All of Hawkins, reflected like some sort of mirror dimension.

“My house isn’t far from here,” the kid says, dodging the tentacles and making his way through the front yard. Robin follows close behind.

god i really want to sign up for a bad things happen bingo card and just like. write the messed up whump and h/c that my freaky (derogatory) little heart really wants lmaoooo, i haven't written h/c for the sake of h/c (aka without, like, turning it into a Fic) in so so so long, but also i have enough on my plate with ye olde trying to build a consistent writing habit with my mcspirk bingo card - which is more about writing stories for me lmao, and not just, like, me leaning over my keyboard in a dimly lit room rubbing my grubby little hands together as i hurt someone (leonard mccoy) and then let the people who love them kiss their forehead and comfort them.

but oh i was looking at the list of the prompts, and i was like, yeah, yeah i do actually want to let my h/c freak flag fly lmaoooooo

i know it's not a good idea because i do not want to let myself get overwhelmed and/or in over my head! but also. also. also. i still have le ongoing problem of wanting to turn everything into a capital-f Fic instead of just dashing off nonsense, like i'll dash off nonsense all day here lmaoooo, but when it comes to a story i want to??? this sounds so pretentious. i always want to write something??? Good???? i don't mean good writing or whateve,r i mean like a??? meaningful story??? (ugh so pretentious) (and to be clear i'm NOT saying i'm succeeding - only attempting!!!)

and the siren call of writing 1k about a cardboard cutout bad guy that has a knife to mccoy's throat while mccoy backtalks and kirk tries to bargain and mccoy is trying to hide the fact that he's already been stabbed in the side and spock has to carry him back once kirk shoots the bad guy??? listen. listen.

but also i do know myself and would i be Content with dashing off 1k nonsense or would i. still. the meaning. would i still the meaning. that's the question. the meaning. would i still.

am i looking at my neighbor's yard like wow that grass looks so green and takes no upkeep (probably), do i still want mccoy with a knife at his throat and jim's desperate eyes and steady voice and spock's steady eyes and the imperceptible tremble in his hands as he picks mccoy up from where he fell (absolutely)

i mean i could just get a card! it doesn't mean i have to write anything! (that's the devil speaking)

(the devil looks so hot tho)

(the devil's got them baby blues)

#this isn't even really about me writing this is me TRANSPARENTLY hoping someone will say ''just get a card'' lmaooo i am. being SO obvious. #i'll still put it in the tag #stretching that writing muscle tag #i do genuinely know it's a bad idea to be clear #and i honestly do not know if i could shake the mindset that i need to write? like? stories with meaning? #(i'm not saying i DO to be clear!!!! i just mean that feels like what i have to ATTEMPT is all (ugh so pretentious!!!!)) #this is actually a bad idea isn't it. okay i think i talked myself out of it. (for now) #this is just me tryin to avoid what i'm supposed to be working on right now isn't it!!!! #i've connected the two dots / you didn't connect shit / i've connected them #(i give myself two weeks max before those baby blues make me a sinner lmaoooo)

within the context of byler fights, i see a lot of people say that mike is short-tempered and like while that may be true i feel like will is even quicker to just... snap. like, he gets very emotional very quick. in their fights, mike's voice stays pretty constant and even, but will's quickly starts getting watery, loud, pointed, cracking, etc. he speaks from his chest. his tone goes up and down. he uses his hands a lot. his eyes are wild and wide and boring into mike, challenging him almost. he pokes at mike. still, mike doesn't escalate; he matches will's hurt with his own, but he doesn't outwardly burn quite as hot. not with him. i just.. idk. i think it's interesting. will's anger is often overlooked or outright ignored in fandom, but it's very clearly there.

#i just think of the rink o mania fight n the rain fight n also tht 'freak' talk he had with jonathan in s2 #and like yeah mike is immediately squaring up with literally everyone else going from 0 to 100000 #but with will? that does NOT happen. the most tht he snapped was during the rain fight when he was mean n raised his voice #but even then it wasn't as strong as how will was yelling. it was very obviously just a reflex and he IMMEDIATELY backed down #and reeled it in. and in the rink o mania fight he's not speaking to him in a warm tone but it's when will says i waSNT bEINg a DOUCHE in #tht emotional tone tht mike matches it but again it's the same story #he's not reaching will's level of rage and he doesn't even FLINCH or MOVE when will touches him #when it's them in their own little world mike controls himself n will is the one tht burns bright n hot #like. he's not ur uwu soft boy !!!!!!!! he gets Big Mad!!!!! he uses his hands he pinches his face he gets attitude he pokes n jabs!!! #in literally every other scenario will is the 👀 to mike's 🤬 #but when they're arguing with each other it's mike's 😐🥺😟🫤😢 to will's 😒😤🤬🫵🗣 #when it comes to will mike routinely backs down and deescalates and goes to make it right afterward #n if they come away still angry with each other then he keeps it to himself in the sense tht its not an all out war situation like w max #like idk. i just think it's interesting to think abt. #byler #mike #will #byler thoughts #if this goes in the tag i'll jump bt i want this in my own tags </3

okay I'm not expecting anyone to care all that much, but I was looking at the prompts for the 18th Day of Gift-Giving for my Olli/Allu fic advent calendar and I'm between two options on what to do with them, so if anyone out there wants to put in their two cents...

(see the pros and cons in the tags of the original post)

#on one hand i'd like to write a standalone with a storyline of its own #because that way i could probably manage to write a better story #on the other hand i kinda feel like i should focus on the main plot after all the standalones i've posted this week #but if i stick to the main plot my options would be more limited 🤔 #because i don't feel like making either of them have a random headache/migrain or some kinda personal crisis #just for the sake of the prompt #i know there's barely any plot to begin with but i still don't want to make it too scattered 😅 #i have an idea that would work alright for the main story and it would probably turn out cute enough #but some of the other prompts that wouldn't really work for the main story are soooooooo tempting #and i mean. at least 4 or 5 of the stories for next week will be related to the main plot #plus the stories for the 16th and the 17th #so there'd still be plenty for that too! #i'm probably gonna make my own decision regardless of the voting result but i'd like to hear from you anyway #i've never made a poll before and i'm kinda nervous about this lol i really am expecting this to get maybe 3 votes max 🤡 #i hate how the title is so huge pls don't be annoyed with me i'm sorry for existing i promise i'll never make a post ever again 😭 #not putting this in any tags. you see this if you see this

prompt: madwheeler does babysitting

sorry this is eons late. 🙈

*This takes place after the events of The Pact

Max’s eyes widen, studying the round dark eyes of the baby she’s holding, his feet kicking off the table like he wants to bounce and drool all over the fist he has in his mouth. She raises an eyebrow as she him, peering curiously at the soft curls starting to overtake his bald head, the precarious stains lining the front of his onesie, and his little, fat feet that are trying to stand up. His body goes rigid in her grip as he pushes up in a standing position, then immediately falls limp again. He coos at her and Max just stares, arms out straight, and looks over to Mike. He's standing in the middle of his living room, and trying to get the baby’s four year old sister and new third grader Holly to sit and watch a VHS. Currently, they are running around in a flurry of tulle and glitter, make up done by Holly, and pretending they are some sort of space princesses. They’ve made it very clear that Mike is in fact, a “stupid boy alien” and isn’t allowed on their spaceship. It's been a few hours of this since his parents and aunt and uncle left for dinner and his patience is wearing thin.

Mike twists his thin frame around, holding the clicker up in the air as they encircle him. “I don’t want to be on your spaceship!” he squeals dramatically. Then sobs to the sky. “I just want you to sit down so I can put this damned movie on!” 

“Ooooh, youuu said a baaad word! I’m gonna tell Mommy when she gets home!” 

Mike rolls his eyes and screws his eyes shut tight in the dorky way he does when he’s flustered. His tone is sarcastic and clipped as he squints down at her. “Uhm, you will not be up when Mom gets home, first of all. Second of all, I am almost twenty years old and it’s none of your business what I say! Now get on the couch!” 

He gathers them up in his arms roughly and plops them down on the couch with an exasperated huff. The five year old, with matching dark hair to her baby brother and a bright smile, giggles and Holly squeals angrily, pummeling Mike on his back over and over with her tiny fists. “No!’ she squeals, to no avail.

(Spoilers for the Sonic Frontiers Update 3 Trailer)

You know it's been a while since the trailer dropped, and I haven't seen anyone notice the fact the Sonic's eyes turn cyan when he gets the max ring bonus, which makes Super Sonic's eyes going cyan interesting, implying that he's at max rings despite the form usually consuming them.

Now, since I highly doubt Sonic's just gonna be all "woohoo infinite super form", especially with the eerie red aura stuff that happened when he transformed the second time, I have a little bit of speculation to share: Sonic will be at max rings through the fight because cyber corruption will take max life instead of rings, forcing him to beat the boss before his max life depletes and the corruption consumes him completely.

Now I might be completely off base. I'll admit, I haven't played much of the second update nor Frontiers in a good while, but IDK. That sounds like a cool fight idea if it's the case.

#Jouska's Thoughts #Sonic the Hedgehog #StH #Spoilers #Sonic Frontiers #Sonic Frontiers Spoilers #Jouska Tag Rambles #Also maybe someone did talk about the max rings thing and I just happened to not see anyone mention it. #Sorry TotK consumed my mind so Frontiers went on the backburner. I wasn't interested much in the challenge stuff either. #I think they added the spindash as a reward? Why would Sonic need a spindash (or drop dash honestly) when he already has the boost? #Eh. Maybe I'll check out the second update stuff later this week. And probably see how little I know about anything. #I changed a lot of my opinions on the game since I last played it and wanna check if my new impression is actually supported.

this is absolute gibberish but here goes

i have a craving for sweet kaifics where kai gets to have a happy life BUT then again... what if Kai but he absolutely loses his shit and embraces the darkness??? opposite Kai.

this cinnamon roll, absolute gem of a man spiraling into a horrid, monstrously lethal version of himself while still having his sweet dweeb moments every now and then because that's just how he is??? but he just keeps collapsing into his own darkness and detaching from his emotions and perceptions and embraces being a weapon and an object and becoming just absolutely ruthless

so basically, canon divergence: what if Kai but he just absolutely fails at what he succeeded in canon? what if Kai, but he's not strong enough to maintain his integrity growing up under the pressure of the asunaro environment? what if Satou Kai, but he traumatizes himself by killing a person (Sei, possibly???), and then just never stops because he thinks he can't redeem himself anyway.

#i open my mouth and it's this #can't put this in the headcanons tag because #i'm not exactly elaborating on it am i #but evil kai intrigues me because it's just so far out there isn't it #canon divergence to the max #i don't understand nor do i trust myself #i accidentally come up with angst #hmmmm maybe i'll do a proper hc post about this some day #jademint hcs

what did they put in that indie survival horror game that it has such a grasp on me

#this is the third month i'll be into d//nt st//rve exclusively like -__- #i'm usually into things for like a month maybe two max #and as i said i'm going on three here and i'm still super into it i'm invested in it i wanna keep drawing for it etc etc #and also about the characters. like i usually have a favorite or two and here i'll be like oh let me check something about this character #real quick and then 3 minutes later i'm looking through their quotes and thinking of drawing ideas #seriously what did they put in this game #and also the game's world like. i'm usually not that into lore either just because it's hard for me to understand and find content for it #usually but here i'm genuinely curious and want to find out more about the world #even though i initially wanted to only. draw a few characters and then fuck off #lol sorry about the tags i'm normal about this game ok #AND also god. i thought i wouldn't be a d//nt st//rve fan bc i didn't get into it last year and was i wrong #i seriously watched that rework short like welp! this will have no effect on me ^__^ #also i swore i wouldn't buy this game both last year and like two months ago when i was only starting to get into it #but i bought it and it's so fun #50 zł very well spent #GAH!! sorry i love this game i love this series i'm going to explode #I'M SO GLAD i got into it i'm having so much fun genuinely :3
