#and the ice so slippery

[bonetrousledbones]

update to the Playing Undertale With Roommate Whose Only Social Media is Pinterest situation: we only just got to waterfall and so far it has been a fucking trip

they have No Idea the significance of Flowey yet. not even a hint. they thought the sans echo flower conversation was about echo flowers

during the papyrus date and especially when they got to his room they kept looking at me and saying "THIS is your man????" which they stopped asking after the date. they have read some of my fics. i do not think i am any less insane to them now

they gave papyrus a valley girl voice btw. mostly because i had to beg them not to give him a mickey mouse voice instead

they didn't fucking know what skeletor sounds like

bc i know The Efficient Ways to do Things and they don't they've been reminding me of a buncha details & lines of dialogue I don't actually have embedded in my memory. particularly "PAPYRUS IS HUNGRY, TOO! HUNGRY FOR JUSTICE!"

they got the "Can I speak to G..." phone call. i have never once gotten that in any of my playthroughs, probably because i don't usually go up to that area but still. ik its not REALLY rare but i have never actually seen it Organically before so it was crazy to ME

Dogsong is my morning alarm ok. so when it showed up in the game and they realized they recognized it on a subconscious level they looked physically pained

Undyne's first chase scene scared the shit out of them

#trousled rambles #somehow i always forget how much i love this game until i see someone play it for the first time and go Oh Right I Fucking Love This Game #i'll also add i thought i was chill and cool with not backseating & stuff but oh my god its so hard. oh im one of those fans holy shit #watching them figure out some of the puzzles hurt so bad man. oh my god #physically holding back nearly 9 years of brainrot as i watch them fall off the slippery ice x & o puzzle 48 times

there’s a norwegian saying that goes “det finnes ikke dårlig vær, bare dårlig klær” which basically translates to “there’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing”, and we take that shit serious cause why is there literally a hurricane coming in tonight and they’re still not closing my school for one day. ONE SINGLE DAY

#jesus #like i dont get why not #we dont got snowdays no nothing ever #just let us work from home bro #and it’s already slippery as fuck and ice everywhere #it doesnt really feel that serious but the news said its nothing to joke about #and theyve shut down a lot of other schools where its already hit #so idk maybe it wont hit that hard here i guess #i just dont wanna go to school tomorrow okay #alexa cue here comes the hurricane bitch

Bee boy Pee boy

#not my day today #started off pissing down with rain #layered up to go set up the trail cam #trail cam wouldn't cooperate #spent like an hour trying to get it to work #overheating in my layers the whole time #gave up on the cam and headed out #road to the trailhead was so slippery with ice i had no chance of getting up it without ice studs #walk home #put on studs #realise one of the chains were broken #spend 15 mins fixing chain #head out again #no longer raining #warm as balls #having a bad time #anti-mental health walk

OMG, I'm so sorry that happened to you that sounds awful !!! I've definitely been there before, so happy you only came out sore 🙏🏽

As for AU stuff-

I think a super cool side spin to the Drangon!AU would be if IK became the world's first dragon rider, like a HTTYD situation !

I think about the transition from "small weakling human" to "precious baby child" all the time, so I feel like the process of them learning about each other (the brothers + IK) in the sense of being in tune while flying is so sweet,,, like, they all obviously have different flying styles, and I'd imagine that Satan, Levi, and Belphie can't even fly at *all*, so getting accustomed to the ways they operate was probably pretty tough but SO cool for IK yknow

And on the flip side it was probably a struggle for the brothers to learn to trust her cues when training or even actively fighting something when they're so used to being independent, but they have to realize that she's not trying to control them, but work as one essentially

Idk, they just make me so happy!!!!! I love dragons!!!!!!

Any thoughts on maybe who enjoys flying/riding with her the most/who has the easiest time adapting to her cues? or any other misc thoughts, up to you!!

oooooooh humans becoming so close to their creature companions that all their movements are in sync is something so dear to me

i reckon mammon (who is nearly always ik's first friend, no matter what universe, and also the best flier) would be super quick to get used to giving her rides around the place, but at first it's more like just carrying a doll around because ik is clutching him stock-still in Terror the whole time

but then!! there's a moment where it just sort of clicks. i'm vaguely remembering a trick in one of the httyd movies where hiccup jumps off toothless's back, and then toothless catches him again? it'd be like that, except it happens completely by accident the first time, but then they keep doing it for fun

on the other hand lucifer would take SO long to properly sync, because he's always like I Will Do As I Think Is Best, Your Commands Are Mere Suggestions. for him i think it'd take a moment of him being in danger and needing to rely on ik, and that's where it clicks for him. he mellows out, but he keeps acting as if he marches only to the beat of his own drum, even though he is absolutely doing everything ik tells him to

in general ik would have a set of subtle but specific gestures (some of which are unique to each brother) that she uses to both communicate and instruct, and i reckon levi likes that bit the most. since he's more geared for swimming, he'd have a range of clicks and whistles designed for underwater communication, and ik learns to understand and reply - so it's like they have their own secret language

#answering asks #whensam #dragon au #since satan is more arboreal i imagine he'd have the most problems taking ik around #it is very easy for a human on your back to get dislodged when you're weaving between branches like that #ik hangs out on his back a lot when he's not out in the forest though so that makes up for it #also belphie (who either already had or i decided to assign ice-related powers in the mammon dragon au req) #is probably cold as hell #so they have a special riding blanket and belphie is specifically attuned to make up for the extra slipperiness of a blanket-wrapped human #jtta aus

fingolfins followers probably know how to ice skate

#ok but think about it tho #they spent like thirty years crossing the first age equivalent of the arctic #theyre bound to have come across some icy areas #skating is the most efficient way to cross an area of ice #it's less slippery and much faster #so they must've invented skating for their ease #and they had blades it wouldn't have been too hard to strap them to shoes #younger elves were probably carried #they wouldn't have had enough knives any other way #unless someone had an absolutely absurd amount of knives with them which i won't rule out but it's unlikely #but yeah they probably skated a bunch #silmarillion #silmarillion shitpost #swags says a thing

so i did just go outside and it is mad slick. i was like whatever i've got shoes and so forth. then the wind picked up and i could hear all the ice-covered branches clacking ominously against each other and decided i should get the hell out of dodge. have you ever tried powerwalking when the sidewalks are sheets of ice? i wouldn't recommend it.

#almost lost one of the aforementioned shoes...two different times #anyway i was not powerwalking it's just that i would have been if that had been at all physically possible #because i didn't want a tree to fall on me lol #anon from the other day don't read this...let's pretend i stayed inside like i told you i was going to #i did have a moment of guilt when i was putting on my scarf like but what if some hilariously bad fate befalls me out there... #what will anon say??? #IN MY DEFENSE i also tried to go outside yesterday. but i turned around and went back in at the end of the block #because it was so slippery. see! i can make good choices! #but today it's been raining ALL day and it seems so melty from my window and i just wanted to SEE #and it IS pretty much all melted in the streets where the cars drive. just not on any surface where the cars do not go #so for most of the time i just walked in the middle of the street (there are very few cars) and it was fine #until the trees started rattling at me. then i was like no thanks #anyway i hope it melts for real soon and the wind doesn't get any ideas #ice #my posts

Slippery Egg Over Rice with Bear Milk Tea

Came back for another meal. Had slippery egg over beef rice. Had some soy sauce over the dish. Taste delicious with slight salty flavour. The ovaltine is hot. Pour over a polar bear. A polar bear is taking a hot bath. More authentic Hong Kong style. From “Sing Choi Kee”.

bitches love an empty trailhead parking lot and other shots from our lunchtime 12km walk

#dogblr #maverick #pike #waaaaaay too nice of a day to pass up a hike #we have a sniffspot tomorrow morning so the dogs get TWO extremely enriching days in a row #they were thrilled btw #and shockingly good at staying on the trail despite many a squirrel and rabbit signs #although i forgot how hard it is to walk on snow/ice and now im SORE #looking forward to not moving for the rest of the day #(for those who dont live in places with ice - those things on my shoes are crampons #theyre little metal pieces that stick out and grip the ice so you can walk/run in slippery conditions. #they are one step less intense than microspikes which are usually much sharper and used for glaciers/ice climbing)

@neonsix67 : "I'm gonna go around [Part of the Sidewalk we Know is Slippery] so I don't-"

Me: Already on the ground because I stepped (and slipped) on the Slippery Part of the Sidewalk.

#light's spot #yeag #I am fine but it was like mid-way through her sentence that I just wiped out #we laughed for a good few minutes about it till we got home #prime example of Neon being the primary holder of our shared braincell anymore #additional context: had a snow here for the first time in a while #so that specific area was both slippery (originally) and snow/ice covered (additionally)

i was reminiscing about the (horrible, terrible, no-good) time i was getting my driver's license... i was a small anxious bundle of ocd intrusive thoughts and an intense fear of death and injury, and i had to take an online course that was basically an interactive powerpoint going "REMEMBER. IF YOU MAKE A MISTAKE WHILE DRIVING, PEOPLE WILL DIE HORRIBLY. YOU WILL HEAR THEM SCREAMING IN YOUR DREAMS FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. REMEMBER THAT LIFE IS PRECIOUS AND YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR IT. DRIVE CAREFULLY and here's how :)" and i was like, yes i remember the fake facebook memorial wall with the sad violin music, but surely it wasn't THAT unhinged, was it? anyway i found my liveblog posts (including screenshots!) from taking that course and it kind of WAS that unhinged: part 1 part 2 (heads up for stock photo corpses covered in blood and references to fandoms i was into in 2016)

#i have a driver's license but at what cost. i still don't like driving #(the cost was all of my braincells) #getting your license in norway is a fairly rigorous process bc u have to take so many theory courses and practical courses #and the ice driving course on a slippery track with fake moose obstacles

You said that Oslo likes skating, can you please elaborate on that?

When did she start? Is it speed or figure skating? Any other details you'd like to share?

O: And I am honestly not very good at figure skating or anything close, I just like to glide around and feel the coolness of the ice

#hetalia #capitalia #nordic capitals #aph oslo #hws oslo #((I had so much fun looking up old ice skates)) #((they used to be made of bone or antlers)) #((The Finns used them the most to navigate the ice without using up too much energy bc the bones were slippery and good for gliding))

i'm leaving for dnd in a few but i have a long-ass bus ride so feel free to send some meta topics for me to mull over & ramble about when i get back!! and like this if you want me to send you a meta question, i've been enjoying seeing everyone's answers!!

#( ooc. ) OUT OF CIGS. #your minds are all so fucking stellar i love reading everyone's thoughts about their characters #it's been a slow ic writing week i know :') but drafts Are getting done #i've had school & work so constantine's been a slippery eel but it's been helping me to chatter about him i think

#the forest was so pretty this morning #❄️ #also note to myself #ice is slippery #off topic

Other than just liking myself and my body, I feel extremely justified for my “humans are meant to have padding” stance bc I ate shit on my way to work and the fucked up way I fell, my beautiful luscious thighs were my saving grace. Caught myself on my wrist? Wrist feels fine an hour later. Knees buckled inward? Knees feel fine. Ankles twisted out? Ankles are fine. My lower back is sore af but no worse than sleeping on it wrong. Thank you Genetically-Inherited Birthing Hips for being an excellent cushion. 🙏

#no you won’t be pushing any babies out but u def save me a broken bone or two #after I feel I remembered *both* my parents broke bones in their early 30s slipping on ice #I would like to sue the historic movie theater for the smooth tile they have outside which is slippery on a dry day #dead ass I wasn’t runnin or nothin. I simply stepped up from the curb and immediately ate shit #I hope my metal tumbler cracked ur public safety hazard tiles. 🖕 #apple talks #I love being the kind of autistic that values comfort over appearance so at least I’ve never felt too bad about my weight in my life #but def as an adult I love that I’m a lil chubby #at first I was excited bc I finally ‘looked like an adult’ rather than a gangly teen #but as I gained weight I realized I was sleeping better and my joints hurt less and I wasn’t cold all the time #and now my padding is making life changing falls only mildly inconvenient. thanks body fat! 👍💖

i was afraid i couldn't draw jack aubrey anymore but then i pulled up my old ipad and i drew him perfectly first try, so sadly its my new tablet i guess??

#like the strokes just arent where i want them to be? #its just more solid on the ipad. i feel like im ice skating on my xp-pen its like too slippery #ITS TEARING ME APART #i want to draw on my laptop so i just have to get used to it. maybe an art stream where i draw terrible terrible jack aubreys #and chat/tumblr can send me requests for expressions and such. making it less agonizing. y'know it'll be fun #look a talking muffin
