So yes I have OF COURSE read @naffeclipse new fic Apex Polarity and yes, I AM OBSESSED!
So I decided to make a little comic of how I think their "first encounter" might have looked like from Eclipse's perspective.
I can't help but think about how alien and scary we most look to him (especially if there is a history of fasco hunting polar sirens in the past). With all that gear we look like emotionless beings, just observing and uncaring of this ice world.
But then when y/n shows up and probably exudes this joy and wonder for his world + shows respect for the creatures and the environment??? Mmh yeah, I can see Eclipse falling for y/n, especially considering how alone he might be...
So yes, that's what I have for today! If you want to read the fic I'll link it right here. I can't recommend it enough, but as always, read the tags so you know what you're getting into! And lastly I also want to @themeeplord beacuse Eclipse's design is basically their design in my style (god I love their design so much, their character/creature designs are the BEST) so all the credit goes to them! Polar!Y/N is my design thou! ;P
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go read the two latest chapters-
Dan reciting "My humps" on February 15, 2018 and February 16, 2024.
February 15, 2018 is the "press the button" video. the same game was recently played in a video they uploaded on January 24, 2024. February 16, 2024 is the WikiHow video. their first WikiHow video was uploaded on January 31, 2018.
dnp's universe is fucked up. we're literally reliving 2018.
leave it to Joker Out to spend months promoting an English single and getting nothing out of it only to have an unreleased demo of a song in Serbian blow up on tiktok of all places
"it's better to tear it all down than let things continue like this" just seems like such a big thing to be resigned to...do you think they talked about it
Maybe AU maybe random thing maybe.. BUT. hear me out.
maxwell as a depth worm because he's a blind fuck, purple, lures people in, THE LIPS. the DRAMA. the AGRESSITIVITY. ( and also, how ironic would it be if They 'punished' him for using shadow magic by slowly taking away his sight and the feeling in his arms pre constant? leading him to have to stop the shows before he ultimately gets pulling in during the last one. Blind and tied up tightly in a dark place presumably deep underground. )
wilson as a saladmander purely because of the hair and because i want willow to be a RIPE saladmander ( cuz they can spit fire )
i actually haven't decided for SURE if it'd just be them having always been mobs or just got transformed when pulled into the constant, probably the later cuz it's funnier even tho it wouldn't make sens since maxwell's quote imply they're 'new' but shhhhh
starstruck and meta knight (gen... ish?) ; liar by the Arcadian Wild
i sense deception to come,
honestly, truth and i are never one
coz i am the lying man,
and i have made you my next victim
oh, i need you to see through my act,
to tell me i'm wrong, to take off the mask
or else i'll be left in the lie,
and i'll deceive my way straight to demise
i made a joke post about raphael being unconcerned, unbothered, moisturised, staying in his lane, etc when haarlep fucks someone else even though he can feel every second of it
except i am thinking about it so much actually 😳
because when you're given raphael's boudoir invite, you're told it's where he conducts business and pleasure. you're explictly told to share yourself with haarlep
if you give yourself over to haarlep entirely, they say that you're going to be a loving doll for them and their master, that you're going to pleasure all the beasts in the hells
why would he be concerned about haarlep fucking anyone in his house when it is always a good outcome for him. he's creaming his pants in some devil meeting(tm) on a different plane and maybe he gets a brand new toy
good lord the man may not get fucked by anyone except haarlep but he's into an endless list of gloriously fucked up shit
One of my VERY favourite ideas is when like. Family is supposed to look out for you, in theory, but they don't. And you just get used to that, you look out for yourself, etc. But then you meet the people who have no obligation to look out for you, but consistently choose to, and they pick up the slack you didn't realize was there. And it's just obvious to them. Of course I'd do that, in what world would I not?
You know I think there is something interesting to say in terms of where the fuck WxS is going because like
I think WxS is the only unit where the end goal or overall progression is probably the most unknown out of all of them ???
MMJ and VBS are extremely obvious, they both have the most explicit goals that are said to us in a straightforward way
25-ji, in the end we know the main goal at the end will be for all of the characters to go over their hurdles with Mafuyu finally being able to find herself and move forward
Leo/need is probably the closest in terms of vagueness but we know the end goal is clear for them to grow as a band, probably ending in a big concert or something along those lines
But with WxS...like I guess the closest thing I can see to an end goal is all of WxS preparing a show together with everyone playing their part but that definitely doesn't feel like something you'd build up for an entire arc and definitely not something that feels fitting after the emotional turmoil that was the disbandement arc ???
In terms of physical achievements as well they literally revived an entire parc through one gigantic show, so it just comes into question what they can do now.
Then you look at their first few event for this arc considering usually the first event kinda set up what will be planned for the future but it's...weird.
Yeah, Tsukasa and Rui's events set up they're inexperienced and how they will grow in the future but also there is this weird feeling of something feeling off ?
The plays/scripts all are strangely depressing, the play in Tsukasa's event being about a failed writer planning to drown himself (which I believe is one of the only undeniable explicit description of suicide ever in the game?????) and the second being someone whose given up on life meeting their estranged sister only for her to become ill.
We even have Emu's side story in Rui's event where they watched the movie Rin was watching during the event made by the same producer and Emu herself note how depressing the story is (meanwhile the main character of the movie clearly parallels Rui)
We don't see the conclusion of these in-game stories as well, lingering on their worst moment never really seeing the presumably happy conclusion.
THEN we also have Emukasa fes which....again strangely different in tone from what you'd expect a WxS fes card, they're not really all that conclusive either. Tsukasa never aknowledges how he relates to the brother in the story and Emu doesn't really get a conclusion on her grief.
Then we also have Rui's entire fuckign event with the cards and his cyberpunk deadbo-YOU SEE WHAT IM SAYING
The closest we fucking have to knowing what WxS's fucking endgoal towards the story is, is fucking WL which....TELLS US NOTHING
At least with VBS we know that they're goal is to go even further beyond and conquer the whole world, that is a developpement of their goal.
What I'm saying is I don't know what the fuck colorpalet is cooking wiht WxS but I feel like i'm a fucking twilight zone reading the way they're writing WxS now because I can't be the only one feeling insane at how weird all of this is
