re: beni making more than just the mochi at the wallflower - where is he even GETTING all these potatoes? they haven't even built a field yet and when they do they're growing apricorns for me (don't judge. I like me my feather balls, have negative aiming skills, and got bored of throwing pokemon at trees like two areas in :p)

maybe that npc who says he gathers his own ingredients was speaking very literally. maybe that one old man is hauling back metric tons of sootfoot roots THROUGH the highlands fieldlands and back to jubilife all by himself with uh. ninja powers.

fr though it's just not. a sustainable model for feeding all these ppl. the AMOUNT you would need to drag back every day! or the trading you'd need to do constantly for it. no wonder beni's always trying to buy them off you constantly like "oh nooo i hope i have enough for tonight" bro just LEARN A SECOND RECIPE. they can't be living like this. there are so many fieldlands native berries. mushrooms. honey. assorted veggies and herbs. various edible-looking pokemon assuming there is a single person in jubilife capable of facing down against the fearsome magikarp in a battle. fucking RICE?? the cake lure bases are right there. you help invent two new recipes as part of sidequests and NEITHER ONE involves potatoes. eat some goddamn pickles why don't you.

answrs pretty sure some official account said they didn't have the (time/manhours/processing power? can't remember exactly) so it wasn't going to be a thing this year. if it's related to that switch from active development to low-level maintenance where a lot of staff were reassigned it makes sense. think they fucked with the post programming too much this year to reuse the old script.

Bummer. I will have to make my OWN year in review post then

@answrs​ @darkdreamyr​ I am very amused you both gave me coffee-based prompts.  Thank you guys!  I’ll use them as I write this month, and I’ll probably post as I go to motivate myself.  Still, I have had a headcanon for how the submas bros take their coffee since forever.  Not for any particular reason, but just because I find it fun.  Sort of akin to the girl and the buff bodyguard order drinks, and have to switch because the girly parfait is for the bodyguard and the hard alcohol is for the girl.

The problem is, I don't actually drink coffee, so while I had my ideas, I couldn't really say how accurate they are without like...trying a drink.  But then my dad said something to me that should have been so obvious; adding cream or sugar to coffee is similar to adding it to black tea.

Well friends, I do like tea, and so here I am finally putting the flavor to the taste test.  And it's about what I expected! 

Ingo: Black as his coat but full of enough sugar to energize a small child.  It's more like coffee flavored sugar.  Hotter than Emmet (lol)

Ingo is not a morning person, and needs the extra energy boost.  However the drink is very hot, so he spends a while just holding it while he zombies along on the walk to work.  Once he starts drinking it, it's gone quickly and he perks up soon afterwards.

Emmet:  Coffee with enough cream in it to make it very light.  It lessens the harsh bitterness, while leaving some of it in the flavor.  Easy to taste the coffee itself, creamy on the tongue, but not actually sweet.

Emmet is a morning person, and just likes the warm drink aspect of it more than anything else.  The caffeine doesn't affect him really.  He is however concerned with his brother rotting his teeth with all the sugar in his drink, and so he always forces Ingo to brush his teeth in the employee bathroom before they start work. Safety checks!

See, I even had this in my writing notes from last year lol

Well boys, I am definitely more Emmet’s style.  I try not to add sugar to tea, because if I can’t like it plain, then I don’t need another sugar drink.  When I add anything, I add milk.  Anyway, had to mix them to get a more palatable drink.  Thanks guys!  >:O

#fun times ahead #answrs #darkdreamyr #submas #headcanons at least #this was fun #i have been meaning to do this but lacked the motivation #had a good day today #a friend started playing arceus and i got to babble about it for a bit #and my commishioner got back to me and i got to play around with that for a bit #also finished a pilot deployment at work today that didnt go as bad as i feared so pressure is off there too #i still need to do my writing tho so that's next!

ngl my prediction is this'll probably be a final showdown of the mandalorian vs last of us guy, or maaaybe Batman. :p still gonna yell for INGO SWEEP LET'S GOOOOOO-

IDK I'm also anticipating Eda Clawthorne making it pretty far, because from what I've heard the Owl House fandom comes out strong for these polls.

However in terms of what I'm seeing from the form alone, I gotta say, Kiryu from Yakuza might be a dark horse candidate to keep an eye on.

It’s always a tough media day for Gawain when he has to utilize both of them, as ‘Microphones Bitten’ is also a factor he has to worry about in the aftermath of a rogue incident.))

seen a few of these going around and now I'm interested too. ten years and about 1k followers, I know most of my current mutuals are MSA or VC people but I'm interested to see how it shakes out. :V

was sorely tempted to add a "whomst the fuck are you/I don't go here?" option but based on Vanilla Extract it would be too tempting to choose lol

would be curious to know if you choose 'other' what said other stuff was! or if there was any particular post in particular about another option that convinced you to follow? :Vc

Do you think Cedric is overrated, or just given so much attention that the fandom forgets the other characters exist? /gen

Also, I couldn't agree more about how wrong it is to put Cedric on a pedestal to make Roland look terrible; the man is an amazing father, and I will die on that hill!!

My opinion on Cedric in the fandom isn't as interesting as my opinion on the fandom's one-sidedness with King Roland.

I know I talk about Roland a lot, but man, I have so much to say about him that just doesn't get said enough.

I have so much to say about how the fandom is so biased with him and Cedric. The fact that he can't be a character who makes mistakes and learns from them is insane, especially since Cedric isn't a perfect person himself.

Even if Cedric's motives to take over the kingdom are sympathetic, it doesn't justify his actions. He was wrong in wanting to take over the kingdom and in hurting others like Sofia in his attempts, but people like Roland were wrong for doubting him for so long and believing the notion that he's not capable of great things.

Although Roland wasn't the main driving force in Cedric wanting to get back at everyone, those rightfully go to Goodwyn and Cordelia, he failed in being a needed support for Cedric because of how he was raised off the idea that Cedric isn't capable of being like his father.

There is so much grey area where Roland has a reason for thinking and acting how he does, just like Cedric in how he thinks and acts. There is nuance to both of their characters that the fandom neglects with Roland in favor of making him this black and white character, and it ultimately makes him unrecognizable to how he was in canon to the point that I could mistake someone's depiction on him for Roland's father. That's what they all remind me of: his father, whose been said to have been a great king but not a great father.

I feel there's so much untapped potential in regards to Cedric and Roland having their fathers be emotionally absent and growing up to give their next generation what they didn't. It's more interesting than having Roland be a bad father without considering the things he did as a father in favor of Cedric being the only one to care for Sofia. (There is a difference between making stuff mainly about Cedric and Sofia and making Sofia's own family useless with Cedric being the only one who can help her. Really, Sofia loves her family and her family loves her.)

People just haven't thought about it as deeply with Roland as they do with Cedric when it comes to reasoning, and at worst, they intentionally interpret his actions in bad faith.

It is so easy to interpret Roland as someone with good intentions. I just don't get why people would willingly make a character bad in their heads, but it always circles back to Cedric because it's always him that replaces Roland as Sofia's father.

It's never Sofia being comforted by Miranda, or spending time with Amber and James, or even talking to her animal friends or visiting her best friends, Ruby and Jade.

And even when it is about them, they're always overshadowed by Cedric. It is so rare to see something focus on anything other than Cedric to the point where I wonder what's the point in having any of the other characters present when they are just props for Cedric.

And there's nothing wrong with liking Sofia and Cedric's bond, no matter how you view it (except if it's in a romantic way, in which you need to reconsider why you feel that a full grown adult and a child would, eww.) I just feel there could be more to having Cedric being the only focal point in things, and even have him be a supporting role instead of the main focus. Having him accompany Sofia but focusing more on her interactions and relations with other characters would be so refreshing. Even exploring Cedric with other characters (cough maybe with Roland) could be a good change of pace.

All in all, I don't have anything against others or how much Cedric is focused in the fandom because some people may just like Cedric better. And if I don't want everything to be about Cedric, then I can just make my own things about other characters. It just bums me out the things I've mentioned, and I hope to make it to where there's a bit more diversity in the fandom when it comes to other characters.

Also I love Miranda ok bye

we need more vivi hurt/comfort in this fandom. #25 prompt (“I’m going to ask you how you are and I would like you to answer me honestly.”) from Artie to Vi if you're up for it? 💛🩵

(hurt/comfort dialogue prompts)

(oof god i'm rusty with these characters. let's get into it)

"I'm fine," she says, for what feels like the millionth time.

"Bullshit," is Arthur's response. "I'm down an arm, Vi, not my fucking eyes. And ho- honestly, I wouldn't- wouldn't even need th-those to tell right now." A hand lands on her shoulder, pushing her down further into the chair for emphasis. "One more try. I'm gonna ask you how you are, and it'd be nice if you c-could answer me honestly."

She shoves him off and stands up, already stalking away, ignoring the shooting pain all up through her side when she does. "God, fuck you. Fuck off. This is so stupid. I don't need,"

And then her vision whites out.

---

She blinks herself fuzzily awake into a world much softer than the one she was just in. She's in bed, she registers, or at least a pile of blankets. The pain is gone, but it also feels like everything else isn't quite online, either. There's a vague clicking noise from somewhere to her right.

"...you hovering all the time," she finishes her thought, although it comes out too mumbly to really deliver.

"j'you say sa- s-something?" The clicking noise stops, and an Arthur appears in her field of view. He looks worried. So, like normal.

"Yeah, uh, what? Why am I in bed?"

Now he just looks exasperated, throwing his hand up in annoyance, which is an improvement at least. "You passed out, stupid! And th-th-then when I freak out, out about it you're all like oh no never mind it's whatever fr- from the fucking floor. 'Why am I in bed.' Dumbass."

She only vaguely remembers that, not that she's going to admit it. Well, okay, question answered. She tries to get up, and Arthur immediately shoves her back into the pillow.

"Hey," she protests.

He makes his usual staccato ch-ch-ch disapproval noise, which she usually thinks is cute when it isn't directed at her. "Nope. I j-just got done bandaging you up, you are not getting up. You, you are st-staying right here."

She tries to wrestle him off, but he's annoyingly persistent and her angle's all off. "Okay, I'm patched up! So it's fine! Let me out!"

Whup, and her hand is flat against the bed, and Arthur's hanging out of his chair to get his arm over her chest and pin her down. "No."

Probably she could flip him. Maybe. He'd hit the wall behind her but not, like, hard. She thinks about it. It's really hard to lift even the non-pinned arm. Maybe she couldn't.

"Stop being stupid," she tells him instead, sounding normal and not at all desperate. "This is nothing."

"It is- v-very much- not nothing."

"This can't be enough to stop me. It isn't! I'm better than this!"

"Get up, th-then!" he challenges.

"I'm not a fucking tranq'd animal!"

He yells wordlessly at her, she shouts back, until they're both panting.

She shoves him again, no real force behind it this time. This is such a waste of fucking time, when he damn well knows they never have enough of it. "I need to get up. You need me out there, you know that."

"Go to hell."

Now tears are welling in her eyes. She's screaming at herself, internally, but for some stupid reason it's not translating into more strength. "We're wasting time, here. I'm ready to go, I can move, I can work. Let me up."

He flops over, into a less aggressive pin, but not actually a less effective one. Their faces are almost touching, which was maybe the idea. "One more try," he says, again.

His damn stubbornness is another thing that she likes more when it isn't being used on her. This is not a fight she is going to win.

"If I fall asleep," she says reluctantly, "and you're not there when I wake up, I'm going to fucking kill you."

That gets a laugh out of him. "M'not going anywhere, Vi."

quick question on the standees, it mentions a glitter coat on one side. if we go with the 'both back-to-back' option on say, YO A&B will we know which side gets the sparkles/epoxy?

(really excited to see these, really love the color palettes you used on them!)

Hi! The 'A' palette will get the Epoxy and Glitter if you get both colors on one standee!

Thank you for your interest! 🙇

what's a scenario in which Gawain managed to get himself into and then out of said trouble through the equivalent of a Nat-1 throw followed by the most implausible Nat-20 saves (with or without other Nat-1s sprinkled throughout)? hiding from Lance and Arthur would probably fall under this, but any other (perhaps lower stakes) situations?

alternatively, if you have had a similar situation but from your own dnd games?

((From my own campaigns, I once played a Werebear Barbarian who - while encountering a Beholder - rolled a Natural 1 to try and sneak past while it was sleeping. It woke up, I panicked, raged, and rolled to attack - rolling a natural 20+ to hit (thank you, modifiers!) and max damage after that, blinding the Beholder's main eye.

The DM was actually a little pissed at this and used my next failed roll to physically blind my Barbarian until the Cleric could heal him, but whateves. That guy was a dick. XD))

out of curiosity, do you get more of the money from people going through PayPal or just buying it off ebay (or about the same)? specifically looking at the juvenile javilina skull on your ebay 👀

also I gotta ask how much on a cougar pelt and the piebald coon (I'm guessing it's the faceless one you posted a bit back?)

Hmm PayPal probably has less fees. Nobody really bids on my stuff so it just sells at the buy it now price anyway.

For the c.ougars, the vintage one on the left is absolutely massive but is not good quality at all. Probably $400. For size alone.

The one on the right has feet, claws, face, tail, etc, and no noticeable flaws. Hunted in Colorado in 2015. Old but not falling apart like the other one. Looks really nice. $1,000

Piebald racc.oon. It’s so rare but it’s also ripped. 😭 They did him dirty. Maybe $300 for the rarity but also the condition.
