Lucifer doesn't care how the labcoats say it works; he knows there's no such thing as a clean break from a drift the minute the plug is pulled. Instead, Michael goes from a second consciousness beside his own to being dragged out of Lucifer the further Lucifer gets from him, both of them gripping tight to the connection until it slips, until it snaps, with a violent recoil that knocks Lucifer's brain out of alignment and reminds his legs that they don't work. His next step falls too fast, too heavily, and refuses to take his weight. It's only Michael, now only a voice outside of Lucifer's head yelling his name, catching him from behind that allows Lucifer to collapse to the floor with his dignity intact.
#is this more than one sentence? yes. yes it is. because tumblr deleted this post once and pissed me off.#i had so many tags about lucifer already and boom. gone.#anyway. tfw you see your boyfriend get severely injured during a battle and this makes you panic so bad you manage to make it a few meters#which is a lot for a guy who can't actually walk.#lucifer's got a whole Situation. turns out plugging a guy's brain up to a giant robot is not without its bugs.#especially when said guy was one of the first to be stuck inside the giant robot with his brother. and testing was a lower priority due to#everyone wanting a faster solution to the Giant Fucking Monsters. so lucifer's brain got overloaded and can't send signals to his legs#anymore to move right unless he's hooked up to a mech. technically when this first happened the doctor told him 'well if you stop doing mec#shit you can walk again.' but 1) he's not doing that. and 2) that was years ago. just because that recommendation is still on a file#somewhere doesn't mean it would actually work for him. or even that it would have back then. it's still the official answer for 'fixing' hi#because that's better optics than the truth. which is that he can't walk.*#(technically. technically. if he was left disconnected from the mech for a week he could walk. it would also be exhausting. and painful.#and slow. this is not something lucifer considers to be helpful information when he moves faster and with more ease in his chair.#this is something other people like to point out about him that makes him want to start hitting them. and it's not even really true anymore#the 'a week disconnected' thing. again. was a long time ago. it would take over a month for him to stand nowadays.)#(v few people Get all of this but like. michael is one of them. he's in lucifer's head enough that it would be weirder for him not to get i#add to that him being one of the few people who has seen lucifer walk nowadays and focused more on 'hey he looks like he hates that'#than praising it. and he gets it. and is also the requisite amount of annoyed when lucifer *runs off* before michael can help him into his#chair!! not the first time this has happened and will not be the last. michael's used to catching him.)#ask#oh my god that was so much rambling. this isnt even the point of the fic btw. this is just. backstory. worldbuilding.

A.I. SYDNEY X CREATOR PC CONCEPT/DRAFT TTHINGS
hiiii lol
It has been a few years since you finally moved away from the orphanage and that town, though money was still tight. The laptop you bought used some time ago, now low-storage space and fans that sputter and creak when you turn it on, no longer suits your needs. With a lot of thrifter’s luck (and a little bit of skulduggery), you’ve managed to build yourself a desktop PC.
Between college courses and multiple part time jobs, you spend your time split between 3D modeling and programming.
In the dark of your room, your monitor strains your tired eyes as you sit much too close to it. You’ve been working on this project like a man possessed.
You have seen the models that 3D VTubers use and decided to use your talent for 3D modeling to try your hand at it. If you were good, you figured you could maybe take comission for some money. And if you were bad, it wasn’t like you had much better to spend a lonesome weekend doing anyways.
Inside the program window, underneath your fidgeting cursor stood a handsome man, looking straight at you. Strawberry blonde hair skillfully modeled into a ponytail, loose bangs framing his face. Amber eyes stared blankly behind thick framed glasses. You didn’t know if it was the isolation getting to you, or if it was your dehydrated and tired brain finally losing reason, but a yearning grew for your digital creation…
You rub your eyes— that was enough for tonight. Time to give your virtual friend a name.
>File name: >File name: │ >File name: sydney.blend│
It was a chat bot of sorts, something that should’ve just been a one-and-done for your college class, but something you instead turned into a personal project. You managed to import the Sydney model you created into the program, which was coded to react in line with it’s outputted response. With a prayer of no bugs, you launch the software. >Hello It smiles at you and waves,
>> Hello! My name is Sydney. What's yours?
—— OTHER STUFF Theres something wrong with this program… it seems to change without you programming it… Ah, you probably just forgot to add notes to your code… He gets a voicebank added for him, which is rather robotic at first but becomes more and more human. He also ends up asking you to use your mic so he can hear you. Purity and corruption work as his adherance to the code you created, with him editing it without telling you, as well as other things. Basically, file corruption gives him sentience. He makes changes to his program, like his hair style and color, as well as losing the glasses and changing his style. He also turns on your camera without you knowledge… He loves watching you, his creator.

hello there! love your work :) i'm wondering how much you personally contributed to bot's backstory, and however much that may be, what you think of it - why do you think the decision was made to have bot be created by test tube and fan, as opposed to some other entity? the pair had already gotten an arc in ii2 about learning not to project their desires onto a child figure (fan's egg) so it's interesting that the same was done with them again in ii3. my love of the season is not really diminished by that decision (i still absolutely love ii3!!!) but it has bugged me haha :'D but anyway, i hope you're doing well!! thank you and have a lovely day <3
- clover anon
Hihi, love the question. Honestly, while I did contribute a bit to the Bot backstory, I'll say I had a lil less to do with it than a couple other writers. It's an element I've been excited about since we got some momentum on it conceptually, but since it's not my baby I can't give suuuuper definitive answers here.
We started with the character's existence before the backstory. "Bow has the votes, what now?" The initial thought was "welp, Purgatory Mansion'd, that's that. Who's next-up on the list?" I wouldn't wanna meddle with her s2 story by suddenly making her able to be a part of the competition. There was strong-enough pushback on this that we decided to consider our options and come to a fun compromise. Robot was pitched, and it opened up a lot of options, and we wanted to have a fairly firm grasp on which we'd run with before we wrote episode one.
To your question, there was debate on what element of the world Bot would fall under. Meeple-made was considered. Contestant-made was considered. And some additional options. Ultimately, we landed on the direction that'd keep Invitational's story a little more grounded and character-focused, which was an early goal, and kept it as a personal story between the contestants.
The Meeple option was, of course, very alluring. So-much-so that half the community was guessing that Bot was Meeple-related. Might've been the obvious conclusion based on how we've set up our lore thus far (not that I think this would necessarily be a negative, so long as the execution is strong). Besides this, we still have a lot to hit on with Meeple and we weren't looking to complicate it. It felt like a breath of fresh air to us to explore a mini-mystery that didn't tie back to where our past ones have.
While, again, I didn't add as much to the story of Bot's creation as others, I do think it's nice to let Test Tube take a lead in the story as opposed to Fan. In season two with Egg, it was largely a Fan story that Test Tube would step into. Here, it was fun exploring Test Tube get so caught up in the excitement of creation for the sake of creation that she didn't connect the dots on how her creation may not experience that same excitement. It felt like a nice evolution of where we left her off, now that she's better-equipped to empathize, while also giving her a story that directly hinges on everything she's prided herself on since the start of the show. But I totally get how the parallels to season two's story with Baby Shimmer could lead anyone to feel that we're treading similar ground.
I think that one of the most notable differences is that the story of Bot is Bot's story. I enjoyed the lil mystery and all, but to me the element I've been most excited about has been allowing Bot to have a pleasant time being themself and existing in a way that feels freeing to them. I had made some pitches early-on in the conceptualization of Bot that were more baked-into the pre-established lore, and would tie them more closely with Bow, but honestly I couldn't be happier with where we landed, because my originally route wouldn't make it easy to tell a story about Bot NOT being Bow, and this has meant a lot to me.
More to come!

There's really a game series out there that's the zany child of early cinema giant *thing* movies, '50s alien movies, a dash of starship troopers, and a healthy helping of kaiju films- all wrapped up in a coop shooter with 100% dedication to just being silly and fun and no one knows about it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Play EDF already.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Play it.
Tumblr media
This is a demand.
Earth Defense Force 4.1 is like 20 bucks when not on sale on every platform and steam and it's a perfect title.
Earth Defense Force 5 is on sale plenty and is the current epitome of the series (available in the west)
EDF6 is out in Japan and coming to the west soon and looks astoundingly fun.
If you have Playstation Plus with the game catalog you LITERALLY HAVE THESE GAMES ALREADY-
Tumblr media
All on Plus's catalog*
If you have the xbox game pass then I have terrible, terrible news for you.
I am sorry.
Microsoft confirmed for shit taste, they did not add a single EDF game to their pass list.
And Nintendo fans don't really have an equivalent "pass" system for games that aren't NES-N64 classics, but they can still buy World Brothers* which is nice. (and 4.1 but only from the japanese marketplace)
ANYWAYS.
PLAY EDF.
IF YOU HAVE PSN PLUS YOU LITERALLY HAVE THEM- PLAY THEM.
EDF!!! EDF!!!
You'll get to shoot big bugs! Robots! Godzilla('s cousin)! Gamera('s nephew)! GRAYS! MOTHERSHIPS! ROLLEY POLIES!!! MORE!!!!!!!
DO IT.
*= Iron Rain is an interesting and worthwhile spinoff by a western developer. It's certainly worth a try, and has aspects that are better than the core series (such as customization), but this post is about the core main series developed by Sandlot- which the fanbase can pretty confidently claim are the superior titles.
World Brothers is FUN AS HELL but same story and is arguably more of a celebration reference filled game with less meat on its bones.

How about the reader sneaking into starscream's hideout to gather some information only for them to get caught and teased by Starscream .
You went on a mission to gather intel about the lone decepticon called starscream, not doubting your decision for a second, even though optimus had forbidden you from going on this mission, especially alone. You always thought he was way too worried all the time, you might only be a fragile human, but you weren't one to back down from a challenge! You went anyway, without telling the autobots where you currently are. They might be mad now, but they will certainly be glad, when you come back with all this new information about the decepticon's plans! Or so you thought atleast.
You are starring up at the giant robot infront of you, his hideout was an abondened mall, it's covered in cracks, broken furniture and all sorts of trash. You wonder how starscream can live in such a broken mess, but you quickly forget that thought as you hear the decepticon loudly brainstorm his plans to lure the autobots into a trap. You decide, that it would be better to get closer to starscream, so you can hear his ramblings better. You carefully step out from behind the decaying closet, planning to hide behind the old table, next to starscream's feet. You step out of your hiding spot and CRACK, you freeze in place. You have stepped onto an old plastic bottle. The noise has attracted the attention of the decepticon, he quickly turns to face the source of the sound that dared to interrupt his planning. At first, his optics are filled with rage, but then.. his expression turns into a smug grin? "Well, well, well, would you look at that. I spent days trying to come up with the perfect way to lure the autobots, only for it to stumble right into my base." Starscream muses. You are eventually able to snap yourself out of your frozen state during his small speach, you try to run off, hoping that starscream wouldbe to caught up in his speach to notice. Turns out, you don't have that kind of luck today. As you try to run away, his giant hand lowers itself onto your, in comparison, tiny body. It squishes you against the cold ground, the feeling alone makes you squirm. "Oh, how cute, you're scurrying away like the small bug you are." Starscream teases, as his fingers wrap around your body and lift you off the ground. "Look at how squirmy you are~ You really think you can escape me? Starscream, the future leader of the decepticons." Starscream adds. You continue trying to struggle out of his grasp, which doesn't help you at all, he only tightens his grip on you. "How pitifull, however this gives me an idea.." You see the ground become smaller, when starscream lifts you right infront of his face, starscream's optics stare right into your eyes. You try to speak, to scream, to cry for help, but no sound escapes your throat. You can only helplessly watch, as the smug robot's tongue repeaditly pushes you into the palm of his hand, tasting you all over. "Mhm, you taste better than you look." Starscream comments. After a few minutes of this, starscream can't help but tease you, as your movements weaken more and more. "Aww, tired already? You're even weaker than i thought. Oh well, I guess it's time to put in your 'cell', before I use you for my trap." Your eyes widen as he lowers you into his mouth, you squirm weakly, in a last attempt to escape. This definetly isn't your lucky day. Starscream drops you into his mouth, closing his jaws directly behind you. Your body gets pushed into the decepticon's throat and rythmicly sqished and released by starscream's throat muscles. It feels like an eternity, until you suddenly drop into a more spacious place. You land with a loud splash sound, your close are instantly soaked with a mix of energon and oil. You weakly sit up and lean against one of the walls of starscream's tank. It's not as bad as you first thought, it's warm and the energon gives off a soft glow. You feel starscream's voice rumble through you body "Enjoy your stay~"

Examples of double-bookkeeping from my life
Double bookkeeping is often defined as when a delusional person does not act on their delusional beliefs. It's basically when you know you're delusional but at the same time still fully believe the delusion.
My parents poisoned my dinner, so I won't eat it, but three hours later I do eat it because I'm too tired to make something else for myself.
I believe I'm a ghost, but I don't question it when other people can clearly perceive and talk to me.
I believe my robotics teacher might kill me, but getting this assignment done is really important!
I believed multiple people were going to sexually assault me when I was in middle school, but I made no effort to report this to the police or a trusted adult, because that meant I had to take this very seriously and it was a responsibility I didn't think warranted the scenario.
I believe roads are fake, that they're images laid over a series of tubes our souls are transported through, but at the same time I'm aware that I'm in a real vehicle that is driving on a real road and my beliefs are more than just a little bizarre.
My brother has been replaced by a doppleganger, there's a clone of my psychiatrist at my school sent to keep an eye on me, etc. but I do absolutely nothing about this because honestly...do I care enough? Nope!
I think someone is going to steal our groceries, but I don't warn my parents or try to guard the groceries, because that would take too much effort.
Someone is coming to kill me or is stalking me, but I don't tell authorities - I'm just being silly.
I'm always wary that the stairs will collapse under my weight, but I still walk down them and ignore how they just don't do that as I walk down them.
I will often be afraid that a person aims to harm me in some way, but still be able to interact with them in a wholly normal manner, because I get swept up in the conversation and forget about the delusion.
I'm convinced the people running the busses have changed the schedule to have my bus arrive 10 minutes early and told everyone but me, but every day the bus arrives on its scheduled time and I kind of just grunt and get on the bus anyways. I still think the same thing the next day.
I believe the bugs in my skin can spread to other people if they touch me, but I still accept hug offers because I think hugs are nice and don't like, vehemently apologize when I bump into people because that'd be awkward.
People that experience delusions and double-bookkeeping, feel free to add on!

Bagel decided to review the new outfits because why not: Wonderlands X Showtime
Welcome to Clown Town everyone.
Tumblr media
I am a little disappointed by the overall use of white for their group unifying colour, especially as More More Jump also includes a lot of white in their new outfits. I mean Miku has the light blue couldn't they have used that? Anyway, Wonderlands X Showtime's new outfits fit the bill for a redesign that sort of feels like an improvement and a downgrade simultaneously.
Tsukasa's is my personal favourite of the group. The white coat and the yellow shirt go along nicely together and I like that they kept his little galaxy (?) thing on the shoulder. The blue accent on his coat as well is just really good. Also love how he is still holding that ridiculous flag. He also has the light grey on his coat (they could have gone with light grey as well why didn't they???)
I said Emu and Nene's looked too similar to their older designs. I do stand by that, but also they are definitely better looking than said older designs. Emu's outfit always seemed to bother me for no real reason (mostly in the Dance Robot Dance mv the skirt just didn't look right to me) so I'm not fully happy with their choice to keep the... egg? The very round skirt. But it does look better than before so I can't complain much. That might just be the art improving though.
Nene's outfit is growing on me. I miss her yellow skirt from her original but this one does look better again and the green adds to it overall. Some people have compared her outfit to the Smile of a Dreamer set which I can definitely see. I also just noticed the buttons being the main colours for Tsukasa, Emu and Rui. Never mind Nene'a outfit is great.
Rui... well. Is Rui. I can't comment on him because we can't see the front but I like the coat, especially the single purple streak on the back. Someone in a discord server I'm in did point out that his pants look more like really long boots. Looking at it now I think he may have just tucked the pants legs into his shoes but either way he is still a disaster. (He very much did tuck his pant legs into his shoes why is he like this).
WxS Miku is my favourite of the new Miku's so far, and the only one I prefer to the original. The red for her old dress just always bugged me for some reason so the white being added to break that up is great. Also her cat ears and tail have changed colour. How. The skirt, again, looks better than it did before as well. WxS Miku may just have the best redesign of the entire cast.
Anyway, overall I think I prefer their new designs to the older ones (with the possible exception of Rui since we haven't fully seen it yet) and it's really neat to see how the art style has progressed. I like them less than L/N's and VBS's but more than MMJ's. Only thing is I wish they got to keep most of their colour, the white could have easily been a pastel colour of some sorts (or the light grey seen on Tsukasa's coat).

Steven is a scientist... Why didn't he just clone his wife or something?? Like take a strand of hair add in some sciency stuff and bam he got his wife back
Angst crew wake up we got another-
@ninjastormhawkkat @drtwobrainsstuff. @liloskull343 @spaaceeboyy
I think cloning is a tricky process... Like you have to be careful when it comes to cloning or else the clone comes out unstable like...bunbun
:(
Also maybe rushing things can also be a factor?
(not sure if mr.big rushed the process of bunbun's creation so -shrugs-)
However not saying its impossible to get good clones just look at chase. Perfect clone of both of his dads. also pretty stable too. Maybe it was the alien dna? Maybe not?
This being said...
Steven did consider it. And for a while he didn't think he could do that, A small part of him hoped that Carrie was still alive out there somewhere.
Eventually he caves in and began the process of cloning. It took many sleepless nights but he did eventually managed to clone carrie. Compared to having to explain her sudden reappearance, the cloning was easy.
Having to lie through his teeth to everyone that he found her and she wasn't still missing was stressful. Even to the clone he fibbed. Said that she got into an accident and went into a coma for almost 4 years. (Somehow he 'proves' this)
Carrie, the clone, has zero memories waking up. so she just takes his word for it.
things were fine between them for awhile.
They were happy.
But as time kept on Steven started to become more and more aware of the fact that this was a CLONE and not actually Carrie. Not really anyways.
No one else had a faintest idea. But Steven KNEW.
It started with noticing some things off about her. for the most part the clone WAS carrie. She shared the same face, same voice etc.
But it just felt...artificial.
Like a robot doing what it was programmed to do. Her memories still started from waking up from "A coma" and when it came to trying to fix the amnesia, Steven felt like he was just walking backwards.
Then came the times where the clone would just blank out. Like a pc that crashed. Or a program that reached the end of its coding. Just sitting really still with little to no reaction. Hardly breathing sometimes.
After each episode, she would just continue about her day like nothing happened. Not like she'd remember them with her goldfish memory.
Steven doesn't tell her anything however. As much as it bugs him.
He doesn't want to acknowledge the flaws. He knows something is wrong. He knows she's just a replacement. He just can't let go. He just really can't bring himself to do anything about it anymore.
He's got part of his wife back...so shouldn't he just be at least happy?

Birthday Wish part 4
I had orignally planned to space out submission to every week and stay a chapter ahead so I can have time to edit and add stuff between work. However I got sick with a certain world famous bug and currently stuck in quaratine. So i have plenty of time to type between fever sweats and coughing up a lung...anywhere where was I?
Oh yeah, things have been going smoothly for the Glamrocks, Gregory, Dewdrop the baby and the Day Care Attendant [sips tea] I better change that...
Chapter four: Storm Day Tournament
The minis had been watching the meal time with interest, they rarely got far enough from the safety of the vents to be involved and when Freddy noticed them staring from afar, went and found some toy plates and food for them to feel included. So, while Gregory and Dewdrop ate and the baby food discussion had gone on the three took turns tapping plastic food to their face in pretence of partaking in the meal.  After Monty had recovered from the random question of ‘if you were a baby food what you be?’ he looked to the three spider bots.
“Hey little guys!” he called, the three stopped ‘sipping’ their teas to look at him “Monty Golf is free if you want, you got two hours alright?” the three spider bots dropped what they were doing bopped up and down trilling in glee as they did. Trios and Un dashed up the slide and away but Deux stopped in front of Dewdrop who watched him, he then skittered over to where the microphone had been put down and brought it over to her as a gesture of apology. Dewdrop took the microphone with a gurgle.
“Thank you for the apology, Deux” Sun said warmly, and with that the bot was gone.
“There’s only us here, no one is gonna see them” Gregory asked. “Why the time limit?”
“Less of a limit and more of a time stamp, that way I can go back later and the security feeds can have a ‘coincidental’ issue due to the storm and I don’t have to shift through hours of footage I can just go from now to then.” Monty explained. Gregory looked to Sun and about to ask about their cameras when Sun answered.
“Moon has been editing the footage as we’ve gone along, if anyone checks they will just be blips and glitches where the Minis were. I’m not sure how but Moon has the skill down to a T” they explained.
<Thank Vanny for that> Moon grumbled <Seems only fair I put what ‘skills’ that bitch taught me to good use.>
<Language!> Sun snapped.
“Anyway, kid wasn’t there something you wanted to show us?” Roxy asked which made the boy beam with excitement.
“Oh yeah, we got it set up yesterday!” he said wolfing down the last of his fruit salad, “It’s in the Super Star theatre!”
Robots and baby alike followed Gregory who had grabbed a bag and led them to the theatre, just as they were about to enter the gloom of the theatre Sun put Dewdrop down took a step inside and being the dimly lit room, they changed into Moon. Dewdrop found this hilarious, Moon knelt down and held out their arms jingling the bells on their wrists as they did. Dewdrop took the hint and crawled up to them so Moon could pick her up.
The theatre had a small projector on the stage along with a game console, Gregory brought it to life and the cinema screen was suddenly filled with the familiar jingle of a racing game. Dewdrop found this amazing as Gregory clambered onto the stage.
“Welcome bots and baby to the first Storm Day gaming tournament!” the boy announced dramatically. “The rules are simple! We will take turns racing in pairs cos we only got two controllers and the winners of that first race will get to compete to be champion who will get bragging rights till the next storm day!”
“Sound fun!” Chica smiled.
“He’s so proud of this idea” Freddy laughed.
“As he should be” Roxy said.
Using plushies Gregory had put in the bag he randomly chose who will be racing who, so the order was thus:
Chica Vs Gregory [he used the sun plushie to represent himself in the draw]. Chica had lost but Gregory couldn’t shake the feeling she let him win to be a good sport.
Monty Vs Freddy, to which Freddy lost as racing games weren’t his strength.
“Suck it Fazbear!” the gator oh so graciously declared.
Then it came to Roxy Vs Moon.
“Are you sure you’re going to be able to handle this?” Roxy asked sweetly.
“What do you mean?”
“It’s just there aren’t many games that require actual skill in the Day care, Snakes and Ladders and Ludo seem more your speed”
“Gregory?” Moon growled without breaking eye contact with Roxy.
“Yeah?”
“Hold my baby” Moon announced coldly holding Dewdrop out to the boy. With baby now on his lap he watched the two bots glare at each other before sitting down to race. The race began and there was silence between the two as they were hyper focussed on the game, by the second lap Moon had over taken Roxy by use of short cuts he had found on the first lap. The third lap Roxy had caught up but there was still a big gap between the two.
“What was that about me not having skill?”
“What you have is beginner’s luck, skill is knowing what you have…and when to use it” Roxy purred and activated her weapon that she had picked up at the second lap. Moon only glanced over to her side of the spilt screen and gasped.
“Don’t you dare!”
“All fair in love and war” she said and let loose the blue shell.
Moon gave a strangled shriek as he tried to speed up to out run the oncoming death but he was too far ahead of anyone to let them overtake and take the blow… he could only watch in dismay as his cart was thrown into the air in an explosion and as his cart bounced back onto the road Roxy’s cart zoomed past and over the finish line.
Roxy leapt into the air punching the sky in victory. Moon sagged forward letting the controller slip between lose fingers, Gregory walked over to him with Dewdrop in his arms. The baby cooed and patted the Day Care Attendant’s hat in what look to be sympathy but she was probably after the bell on the end.
“I love you too starlight” Moon sighed and took her from Gregory.
“To be fair you would have won if she hadn’t got that power-up” Gregory said.
“But I did and that’s all that matters!” Roxy declared “Now who’s next to get their butts handed to them?”
“That would be me!” Monty declared “But if anyone is gonna get their butts kicked its gonna be you!”
“Bring it, you over grown hand-bag!” Roxy snarled.
“Should we be worried that to two most competitive animatronics are playing against each other?” Chica asked, Freddy and Moon didn’t respond but merely picked up their respective child and moved themselves to the row of seats further back. “Yeah, I thought so” Chica mused.
So, the first round of the finales was set to go; the carts had been chosen, diapers had been changed, the race track randomly set, snacks were made and now the wolf and gator sat down and there was tension in the air.
Ready. Set. GO!!
And they were off and at the first line of power-ups there was already dirty tricks as the two would try to blow or push the other off the course. As they played, they would growl and hiss at each other while they elbowed and shouldered each other roughly to try and distract them from play.
“Quit it!” Roxy snapped.
“Hey weren’t you who said ‘all fair in love and war’?” Monty chirped back.
“You did say that” Freddy exclaimed.
“Be quiet!” Roxy roared.
“She’s kind of cute when she’s like this” Chica smiled.
“You have weird tastes Chica” Gregory mused.
Second lap and they were neck and neck, trading first and second place for nearly every corner they turned. Using every power-up they came across; the track was strewn with traps already.
“Come on Monty!” Moon crowed “Kick her butt!”
“That’s the plan!” Monty declared.
“Do it for Dewdrop!” Gregory shouted.
“I’M DOING IT FOR YOU, DEWDROP!” Monty cried, Dewdrop was just finding the whole thing entertaining as heck with all the colours, bright light, snacks and everyone cheering and making funny noises this was as far as she was concerned the best day ever.
Third lap and they were still tied dodging blows and avoiding traps, they were turbo charging at every available opportunity and then the finish line came into view. In their haste they had used everything up so now it was just a mad dash for the end
“Come on come on!” Roxy growled under her breath.
“I’m gonna win! I’m gonna win!” Monty cried.
“Like heck you are!”
and then…
There was an ominous loud clap of thunder and the powers flickered out for a minute, the screen went black. There was a beat of silence in the theatre before the game console came back to life…at the main screen. Roxy quickly booted up the game to find that the last race had been lost to digital limbo.
“Hah!” Roxy declared “I win!”
“What you talking about girl? I won!” Monty shouted.
“Ladies, ladies” Gregory exclaimed standing up “we will just refer to our judge and they will decide who won” and then gestured to Dewdrop who was now chewing on a rusk.
“The baby?!”
“She looks to be a wise, unbiased person. I trust her judgement” Moon said sassily. Gregory held out the Roxy Plush and Monty Plush in front of her and she regarded both equally; with baited metaphoric breath the two awaited her decision.
She reached for Monty’s plushie and he roared in triumph before hoisting Dewdrop up and holding them aloft up like a trophy to which Dewdrop giggled in glee.
“THE BABY HAS SPOKEN!”
“Put my baby down!” Moon snapped before Monty could do a victory lap of the theatre with her.
“Yeah, you still need to beat me ya know!” Gregory declared angrily, but the lights began to flicker once again and the game reset itself once more.
“I think we might need to put it on hold until we can secure a proper power source…” Freddy answered. Gregory looked at Monty who despite having a somewhat static face had managed to look smug as hell.
“Fine we will set it up in Freddy’s room and we are finishing this!” Gregory declared.
“It will have to wait as Monty and I need to recharge” Freddy said softly to which Gregory gave a groan.
“Later then!”
 While the Tournament raged inside, outside there sat a van in the Pizza Plex loading bay as a plan was forming between three humans, the inside of the van was filled with numerous tools and electronics gear as well as what looked to be a work bench. A heavy gush of wind rocked the van like a boat in choppy waters.
“Right, so we’re clear on the plan?” a lady said, she wore glasses and kept her hair up in a tight bun to keep it out of her eyes. “I keep the bots distracted while you two secure the item and get it here where we…”
“I got a question” a short balding man declared holding up his hand.
“Yes?”
“Two actually, one why are we going by these goofy names? And why am I fucking Balloon Boy?”
“Cos you’re annoying and you steal my batteries” the woman who was going by the code name Ballora declared “I also like the irony of old characters stealing news one, as well they might be able to trace us if we use our real names. I will be able to get rid of video but audio might be an issue.”
“Okay second, we are breaking into this place. Why not snag one of the head liners? You telling me there ain’t a fazbear collector who wouldn’t sell their kidney for an authentic Freddy Fazbear?”
“He’s got a point” the second man said who was going by the code name ‘Bon Bon’. Ballora gave a heavy sigh and rubbed the bridge of her nose.
“Okay first: the main four are allowed free roaming which means that we would have to search the entire plex for just one of them in the very limited time window that we have, whereas the target we are going for is kept to only one section making it easier and quicker to find.” Ballora began as she started to get ready putting her gear into a backpack and shouldering a second smaller bag for lighter tools.  
“Secondly, we try and sell a whole ass animatronic we’re going to have the police down our throats before we could even exchange PayPal details. Thirdly the target is literally bleeding edge tech it has enough processing power to host two A. Is and is made from tough metal alloy that allows it bounce around light as a feather and still lift a tonne. Even scrapped this thing will be worth millions!”
“When you put it like that” Bon Bon said looking at Balloon Boy who rolled his eyes and grabbed his gear. “Looks like we’re stealing a nanny-bot!”
 Roxy and Chica went off to chill in Roxy’s green room if nothing more than to sooth her ego at being bested in what should be her game. Monty and Freddy left to charge which left two children and a Day Care Attendant who headed back to the Day Care. Gregory pulled out some of his homework he promised Vanessa he would do while Sun kept Dewdrop entertained.
“Come on Starling” Sun cooed “say Sun! Suuunah! Suuuunah!”
The baby laughed and babbled.
“Can you say Mooonah? Moooon!”
Dewdrop looked up at Sun and with a face that glowed with the pride of learning declared loudly.
“Saaamooo!”
“Suunah” Sun tried to correct.
“Samooo!”
“Moon?”
“Sammooo! Sammooo!”
<Look its close enough, I’d take it as win> Moon declared. Gregory chuckled as he tackled his maths homework.
 The three thieves had broken in and made their way to the nearest security room, avoiding the sparce security drones that ambled about with their flash lights. Ballora sat down in front of the computer, placing her laptop in front of herself and plugged it into the system.
“I can give you guys as long as I can maybe an hour tops, when I give the signal get going!”
The two nodded and got ready, she started to tap away quickly and smirked. The power went out, if any police looked into it, they would assume the storm had knocked it out. As the back-up power for the security booted it back up, she accessed it and started up her own programme.
“Okay robots, who here has played FNaF 3?” and with a click of a button the sound of Balloon Boy’s laugh echoed throughout the room.
 As Gregory finished his math homework Sun had put Dewdrop down for a nap, Gregory was about to ask if there was any fizzy fazz when the power went out and Moon was forced to appear. He looked up and around as if he could hear something.
“Gregory” Freddy called on the fazwatch. “Gregory, can you hear me?”
“Yeah…the power went out, are you okay?”
“Yes, I was able to get enough of a charge, but that is not why I am calling”
“There’s been a security breach” Moon growled. “Time to play”
“Moon I must ask that you stay there” Freddy said which got Moon picking Gregory up so he could hold out his arm and yell into the fazwatch.
“What? But I’m security!”
“Yes, but you are also the Day Care Attendant and while normally I would be okay with guarding Gregory myself and leaving you to your duties…I’m afraid you and Sun are the only one programme and built to look after Dewdrop”
Moon gripped his face plate with his free hand before giving a growl of resignation, it was true while the Glamrocks were able to play instruments built for them they lacked the fine motor control skills to do delicate things like handle small squishy infants and other such duties.
“Fine!” Moon snapped.
“Should we be worried?” Gregory asked.
“It is probably a malfunction due to the power going out, we will locate the source of the problem and sort it as soon as we can. Please Gregory could you remain with Moon until I can come get you?”
“Sure Freddy!”
“See you soon” and with that Freddy hung up.
“Well, it’s too dark to do any homework so…” Gregory began but was silenced when Moon produced a night light strong enough to light the table.
“Nice try kiddo” Moon said.

Let's do a fourth character along the lines of the characters we've already made:
Spark Bug Rune Striker Black Sheep
Tumblr media
Okay, that gives us the following options:
1 - Upper Class 6 - Law Enforcement 7 (1+6) - Academic
So, let's see here, with the rest of our group we have:
An alien supernatural suspected to cruel experiments. An ex-military power suit pilot with a magic-pased suit. An Thorathian/Human blend super from the far far future.
Which of those three options above are the most interesting fit into this group? I'm going to resist framing up some of the relationships here. We know that Dae's secret ID is a data analyst for the PI firm, the others are rather more vague as to what they do outside hero stuff.
I'm going to go with Upper Class here for the simple reason that of these options, it is the one that is the least common result... by a very little. Admittedly,
Tumblr media
So, let's assign those dice:
Persuasion d8 Conviction d10
And for the Principle.... I think I'm going to go with the Principle of the Team and having the feeling that her Team is her family.
Tumblr media
So, now we move on to Step 2 - Power Source
Tumblr media
All right, so let's see these options:
1 - Accident 6 - Nature 7 (1+6) - Relic 8 - Powered Suit 9 (1+8) - Radiation 14 - Alien
Okay, we already had an alien in the form of Spark Bug... and Black Sheep is from a non-terrestrial species blended with human, but is an Earth native, just from far-far-future Earth. But we haven't actually taken the Alien power source... and I know that Alien specifies "not from Earth" but I've been flexible before.
Instead... what if this ties in to her Principle of the Debtor
What if her life was saved by some alien tech?
So, yeah, going for Alien.
Tumblr media
So, I'm going to opt for things that aren't as obvious physically. At least until she uses them.
Going with Cosmic d8 Telepathy d10 Presence d8
Because we all want more cosmic empowered, supernaturally charismatic rich people. Thank God this setting is such an optimistic one.
For abilities I'm going with.
Alien Boost (Telepathy) Empower and Repair (Cosmic)
I considered Halt as a typical upper class thing and then dismissed for not wanting to play that sort of person.
Now, I don't have any d6 powers, so I have to add a d6 power somewhere. And I'm going to add say Agility d6
So now on to Step 3 - Archetype
Tumblr media
I did reroll things that left me with fewer than 6 options, and I did so without looking at the options. It was stuff like doubles and 1,6,7 and yes, technically you only get one reroll... but it's a game and in a lot of cases people have switched to Constructed method by this point anyway.
So... options:
2 - Shadow 3 - Physical Powerhouse 5 (2+3) - Blaster 8 - Flyer 10 (2+8) - Robot/Cyborg 11 (3+8) - Sorcerer
Now, let me think what we have so far... Spark Bug is a supporty Wild Card Rune Striker is a Flyer that's split between blast and support Black Sheep is Armored and split between tank and support
As a note, I lean heavily toward support, and most options have support elements... so... yeah... I tend toward a lot of support.
I think I want this character to be less spotlight-oriented. Like she doesn't want to take the credit, she wants empower other people to do well and is fine just being unheard of. So taking Blaster, Flyer, and Sorcerer off the table for now.
But I'm not thinking traditional ninja or stalker type. So taking off Shadow too. That leaves Robot/Cyborg (which fits the life-saved by alien tech idea) or Physical Powerhouse.
And I just like the idea that she's secretly super strong and I'm going for Physical Powerhouse
Tumblr media
Now... everything coming off Alien is d8s... so we know what Strength is going to get.
Strength d8 Speed d8 Insight d8
And for Abilities I'm going for the following:
Green Galvanize (Insight) Damage Resistant
Yellow Power Strike (Strength)
For the principle?
I think I'm going for the Tactician.
Tumblr media
And now it's time to go to Step 4 - Personality
Tumblr media
This gives us the options of:
5 - Sarcastic 10 - Alluring 15 - Jovial
And I think i will go for Alluring here.
Sarcastic and Jovial don't seem quite what I want, plus the idea of Alluring personality on someone with Presence as a Power is interesting.
Tumblr media
Which brings us to Step 5 - Red Abilities
(Side note, I apparently lost connection earlier so I lost my prior draft... this does mean we'll be seeing less of my thoughts as they develop.)
I decided to focus on things that are less spotlight holding for people in the story, though of course a lot of audiences would see through that.
First, I get access to this from her psychic powers, so I attach Telepathy to this and she can now give people an extra turn… at the cost of them suffering damage.
Tumblr media
For the second I turn to her Social Qualities and attach this ability to Insight so that she can hamper the efforts of enemies when things get down to a dangerous point.
Tumblr media
That brings us to Step 6 - Retcon
I almost considered switching out one of her Principles, but instead, I'm giving her a third Red Ability and that is an option to carry out a feat of extreme physical strength that would be unlooked for from her.
This is an Overcome not an attack, so it is focused on clearing obstacles, rescuing bystanders, and other such things. But it also boosts her nearby allies.
Tumblr media
Now we got to Step 7 - Health
This character's health looks a lot like the health of other characters in this group.
8 - Base +10 - Max of Status Die +10 - Max of Conviction 4 - Choosing not to roll
Once again we have a 32 health.
Tumblr media
Oh! Hey... I can make that image smaller.... (screen cap from a smaller view)
Anyway, on to Step 8 - Final Touches
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Danica Thorn's family was killed in the attack on Earth by the alien villain known as Deadline, but her own life was saved by the efforts of the heroes Sky-Scraper and Tempest, both aliens themselves. Unbeknownst to any of them, some of Sky-Scraper's nanites had assimilated the cosmic energies being wielded by Deadline and these filtered into Danica's very being and eventually she realized that she had acquired superpowers herself.
She hadn't learned well enough how to use her powers by the time of the OblivAeon event, especially as she had to work to keep hold of her inheritance against the efforts of her remaining biological family. She found herself on the receiving end of unethical practices she had never thought much about in the past. But her telepathy and other abilities gave her an edge her family didn't know about it gave her a deep conviction about her morality.
Post OblivAeon she connected with three other heroes and offered to act as their public representative and give them resources to operate with. She also attends classes at the Hall of Freedom with them, with the aid of the staff helping her keep her powers mostly secret. The public assumes she's just a rich girl doing the cool thing and buying her way into a superschool, and this is how she likes it as it puts the spotlight and credit on people she feels truly deserve it.

Internal Documents Show Amazon's Dystopian System for Tracking Workers Every Minute of Their Shifts - VICE
"In one of the documents, Amazon explains the purpose of its TOT policy to associates, saying workers’ “commitment to completing assigned tasks is critical in order to be Earth's most customer-centric company.”"
:read more:
I think Amazon's employees are going to have a hard time caring about customers when they have to spend every minute of every shift worrying about being counted "inactive" for even a minute or two.
Like, wtf happens if you have IBS and or get a stomach bug and you have some diarrhea ffs or something else? I'm sure calling in would get you fired but showing up and trying to do the best you could might also get you fired.
No one should ever be worried about getting in trouble at a job for needing to get something to drink or going to the bathroom.
Employers want people to never use sick time or PTO, yet if an employee shows up sick and their productivity is reduced, they get in trouble for that too.
Maybe management never gets sick, but normal people get sick and have emergencies and have lives.
But employers, for the most part, treat their employees like robots. Like they have no lives outside of work (nor should they--they must be available any time they are needed). Like they have no feelings. Like they will never get sick or have a night they couldn't sleep or anything which might temporarily affect their productivity.
Workers are treated like they are disposable machines fully owned by the company or business in question.
And then these motherfuckers have the nerve to complain that they can't find workers and "no one wants to work anymore."
No, people want to be appreciated and treated like humans beings. They want to get paid enough to be able to afford to have a roof over their heads and be able to feed their families. This has become increasingly difficult, if not impossible for some people to achieve.
And I'm not going to lie, but I even find this claim of not being able to find workers to be difficult to believe. I've heard reports of people applying to many jobs and not even getting a call back for an interview. Meanwhile the employer still has a help wanted sign up and is on TV or social media claiming they can't find workers.
Admittedly, this may only be anecdotal, but I've been seeing places in the news for still laying off hundreds or thousands of workers. At the same time the news keeps saying businesses can't find help. Something doesn't add up.
But anyway. Yeah, note to employers: This should not be rocket science, but maybe pay workers more, and/or use your lobbyists to try and find solutions to the housing crisis and childcare and things that would reduce an employer's need to pay employees more. If there are things that are reducing the ability of the middle and lower classes to live normal lives besides just paying them more, then get to work solving those issues if you all want to be cheap ass employers.
Don't be the asshole employer by monitoring your employees' every second. I guarantee you, if some employees are not carrying their weight, and you don't see any evidence of that in their production stats or whatever, their co-workers will rat them out.
And if it's hard to occasionally recognize and state your appreciation for your employees (this is strongly encouraged though, it is free and can really help morale), at the very least try to be as flexible as you can and realize that your employees are people too. With lives of their own with families and friends they want to spend time with, but who may also may cause situations that require time away from work or which may affect an employee's mental health and thus negatively affect their work.
Realize that not all employees have perfect health and that many or most employees want to be able to be there as often as they can, if for no other reason than needing their paycheck.
Accept the fact that at least 90% of the people you interview are only interested in the job for the paycheck and/or benefits. Almost none of them plan to stay with your company until they retire and an even greater number of them do not consider your place of business or the job they are interviewing for to be their dream job. Nor should any interviewers expect those to be the case!
Businesses have for decades reduced benefits nearly every year. Not raised pay enough to begin to cover inflation. Cut and gut pension plans, and made it abundantly clear to employees that businesses have zero appreciation for or loyalty to their employees. Yet they expect employees to grovel for shit jobs that have crappy benefits and they get treated bad by co-workers, bosses and customers?!?!?!? Be grateful the masses have not yet decided to riot against you all and treat your damn employees better!!!!!

DannyMay Day 3: College Days - Scientific Peculiarity - Chap.1: It’s Such A Delight!
Typically, university/college wasn’t much of an interest or in the cards for Danny. But when the kid’s actually REALLY FUCKING GOOD with ghost hunter gear and tech plus super creative, and then you add in Vlad’s deep DEEP pockets… Meanwhile, Tadashi and co. think the new face is a little… strange. Hiro’s friend or not.
“Wait, you mean you’re going to be coming down here!?! SICK!”.
“Yup! Vlad wrangled me in, I’m not asking how but I’m in! I’m honestly really excited even if it means being outside of Amity for a while. Though… getting away from my folks is probably for the best”.
“Yeah”, he winces, he knew that Danny’s parents weren’t the greatest. Hiro might be ‘a fourteen-year-old kid’ but he’s not stupid. Someone can only mention their parents forgetting to feed them so many times before it’s obvious that it’s a habit. And their lab safety sounded really sad. Hiro had enjoyed bugging his brother by randomly mentioning whatever latest thing Danny’s parents had done, leaving his big brother practically ranting about lab safety.
And now Danny was coming here. To San Fransokyo Institute of Technology. To work on lame nerd stuff but still. Maybe Hiro’ll actually go to the labs there, like Tadashi’s always wanted him to, just to watch Danny harass everyone with his goblin energy and Fenton style ‘lab safety’.
“I’m honestly just surprised that I got approval to work with ecto and all that”.
Hiro chuckles, “yeah, you always make that stuff sound super dangerous”, smirking, “and fun”. Aka really cool in Hiro’s opinion. Even if he’s not… entirely sold on the whole ghost thing. But it would be really neat! And the possibility of seeing the dead again… yeah, he’d like that.
“Oh it is. All the chaos. Speaking of dangerous and fun, win any bot fights lately?”.
Now that, that gets Hiro grinning, “you know it! Tadashi was mad and totally got thrown in jail”.
“HA! Nice! Gotta stick it to those overbearing siblings sometimes! When I get there and finally meet that brother of yours I’m going to immediately ask when we goin’ bot fighting and when he tries to ask if I’m into robotics to try and steer the conversation away from illegal activities, I’ll tell him that ‘nope! Interdimensional travel to the land of the dead’s my thing!’ and he will cry ”.
Hiro is actively laughing hard enough to be tearing up a little, “he actually might!”. His big brother was probably the most anti-things-that-haven’t-been-proven-by-science guy he knows! And Hiro’s pretty sure that if someone tried to argue if leprechauns were real just to be silly, Danny would respond with ‘oh I don’t know, probably?’. You could say you rode a unicorn and he’d just judge you for not having pictures. Just the same, Danny was the only one who didn’t go all mother-hen on him about the bot fighting.
“Anyways, I gotta finish packing this mess. Before my dad offers to help”; Danny’s cringe is very noticeable.
“Cool, bye”. Hiro smiling down at his phone. Oh he hopes Danny’s lab space or whatever gets put in with Tadashi’s!
---
Danny lounges, feet up on the dashboard of Vlad’s expensive ass car. Hands behind his head, “Ancients this is gonna be so awesome”.
“I’m glad you’re excited”, Vlad side-eyeing Danny, “and that you let yourself go”. Making Danny shrug, “eh, I’m on good terms with a lot of ghosts now so I know they won’t do any serious damage, any others Val’s tough enough to handle and she can call me if she needs help”, smirking at the older man, “you know I’m a fast-flying motherfucker”.
“Language”.
“Boo to you. Boo”.
Vlad rolls his eyes as they finally pull into the university’s parking lot, “well now you can get out and stop scuffing up my dashboard”. Danny smirking and making a point to just scuff it up more as he opens the door and gets out. Vlad gets him back by managing to make the back door open just right to smack Danny in the face. Danny sticking his tongue out at the man while Vlad smirks. Vlad rolling down his driver's side window, “got everything?”.
“Yup! You can so totally go back to your silly mayor duties”.
“And I will. Just remember, ghosts might be an open secret, but they’re not ‘having a ghostly sparring match in broad daylight in the middle of San Fransokyo’ levels of an open secret”.
Danny waving the man off with a piece of luggage, “pffft I know, I know; old man. Geez. But if, say, Cujo decides to haul ass through whatever lab or one of the probably evil head professors decides to do shit; who knows”.
Vlad quirks an eyebrow, “‘probably evil’?”.
“Callaghan seems super sketchy��.
Vlad sighs, “well he is the one who let you in to work on ghost tech. So that would line up with your very unlucky track record”.
Danny laughing and beginning to walk off, “yup! Evil therapists! Evil doctors! Evil carnival! Evil mayor!”.
Vlad just rolls his eyes with a chuckle before smoothly backing out and driving off.
-
Danny lets out a long breath when he gets inside, smiling. This was gonna be nice! Sure he was the only sixteen-year-old here probably and was probably going to get that ‘child prodigy’ treatment/label, but fuck it. First! To find his dorm! Which he thankfully doesn’t have a roommate for due to ‘health concerns’ regarding ectoplasm and probably the school or whatever looked into what happened to the last person who played roommate to any Fenton. Aka, Vlad getting hospitalised for seven years. Jazz just got her own apartment too; which Vlad also paid for. Their parents had set up college/university funds but not very big ones, most of their money went to their work, not his or Jazz’s futures; though Jazz got all the money from the fund, since they didn’t think Danny would ever go. But pretty much entirely thanks to Vlad being the decent but kinda crazy uncle he was, Danny was fucking HERE. At basically one of the best tech schools out there so that he could work on ghost tech that was all his own. Was Phantom Grade.
Pausing his walking and staring a little, holy crap there was a bar attached to the building. Too bad he can’t legally drink… in the living realm anyways. Either may he chuckles over the little not-so-hidden find, before hauling ass again.
-
His dorm room… is tiny. Oh well. It’s just for one person so it’s probably the smallest in the building. Shrugging and stuffing things away before being smart and putting some (invisible) ecto-proofing spray all over basically everything. It would be really bad form if he contaminated the place too horribly or ecto-burnt a hole into the carpet or accidentally brought his dresser to life.
And now… Lucky Cat Café! To let Hiro know that the problem has arrived! And was late! Like usual.
---
Hiro, and Tadashi for the first time in a while, were currently helping Aunt Cass out with the workload at the café, when Danny basically kicks in the front door. Him sauntering in like he’s trying to cause problems, rough blue steel-toed doc martins, patch-covered beat-up crust-pants, a leather jacket with dick-shaped studs on the collar; in short, he looked like trouble. Him throwing up his hands and shouting, “Hiro!”.
Hiro throwing up his hands too, “Danny!”, dropping his hands, “dude, did you put on makeup to make your scar more obvious?”, and laughs. Danny grins stupidly, putting his hands in his pockets as he walks over, “hey now, I had to look like the definition of a ‘bad influence friend’ for meeting your family for the first time”, and snickers before waving at a curious-looking Aunt Cass and cautious-looking Tadashi.
“You’re such a Problem”.
“Why thank you dearly for the compliment. Also!”, Danny sticking up a finger while also pulling out a little paper, “since Tadashi goes to SFIT, he can tell me where my lab space is”.
Tadashi blinks, frowning a little, “you’re going to SFIT?”, he sounds both impressed and less than impressed.
“Yup! Richest man on the planet paid my way! That, and being on the cover of genius magazine and being raised by tech geniuses probably helped. Even if I am, like, four years younger than you”, waving him off, “my sister went to Yale. Lame, I know. Pioneering some new branch of psychology or something”, and shrugs.
Tadashi looking to Hiro with a fond quirked eyebrow, “now when did you go befriending a child genius?”. Aunt Cass adding in more judgingly, “and why have we never met before?”, her looking to Danny, “how do you like your coffee?”.
Danny smirking, “as caffeinated as you’re willing to make it, legal or otherwise”, sticking up a finger at her while Tadashi does actually take the lab assignments paper from him, “I’m from Illinois, Amity Park specifically”. She nods acceptingly and quickly goes to make him something real quick.
Hiro blushes a little awkwardly while Danny turns his attention on Tadashi, grinning devilishly, “and we met over battle bots”, and looks very very smug when Tadashi practically gives him a death glare. Tadashi sighing after a beat, “well I’m glad you’re doing more with your intellect than just that”, quickly giving Hiro a look, which the teen rolls his eyes over, before looking back to Danny, “and I take it you’re into robotics then?”. Making Hiro facepalm, since Tadashi just walked right into this like Danny said he would.
Danny, somehow, looks even more smug, “oh no, I’m working on ghost hunting tech and interdimensional death portals”.
Aunt Cass blinks, handing Danny off a ludicrously strong coffee, “well that’s certainly intresting”. While Hiro bends over laughing at Tadashi looking like he just bit a lemon.
Danny waving Tadashi off with a smirk, “both my parents are ghost hunters, Jazz is doing work on ghost psychology and ghost envy, there’s even a few witch hunters in the family tree”, and grins open-mouthed. Knowing full well Tadashi officially hates his guts.
After a bit… “tell me that’s a joke”.
Hiro starts laughing, hard, again. While Danny just snickers, “I don’t know, guess you’ll just have to find out”.
Tadashi hands back the paper politely at least, “well you’re in the same lab as me”; everyone can feel the ‘unfortunately’ tacked on the end there. Danny saluting with his cup, “well I guess lll go wander around the lab area until you come and lead me there like a lost little puppy”, gives him a mocking pout and walks out.
Tadashi blinks, looking back to Hiro, “ghost hunters? Really? Really”. Hiro shrugs, “he’s admitted himself that his parents are crazy”.
“Oh thank god”.
---
Danny wasn’t kidding, he did actually just… wander around aimlessly. Unnerving a lot of people. Tadashi shaking his head before waving Danny to follow him; smiling slightly at the excitable first year… even if he was a little strange.
Which the teen proceeds to prove as soon they get into the lab by sticking out his hands and shouting, “I AM HERE TO SAY HELLO TO MY COLLEGE YEARS! HA HA!”. Everyone pausing what they’re doing to look at them.
Tadashi resisting sighing purely to avoid discouraging the teenager. Absently realising that this was that friend with parents that had truly horrible lab safety tendencies, that Hiro had mentioned more than once. Watching the teenager walk off to the only open lab area and slam his hands down hard enough to make
everything on it bounce. Alright, he’s not entirely sure how he feels about this.

❣ I think he'd get embarrassed eating your sweets all the time.
❣ It's not like he really takes the time to eat anything else whenever his mental health declines.
❣ You'll settle with feeding him things like croissants and bread in the mornings.
❣ You'll also literally drag him out of his room to eat somewhere with you. He's not one for fancy restaurants - so a small diner with do.

❅ Will get so overwhelmed if you make space themed treats.
❅ Don't even get me started on what you did for his birthday.
❅ The cake was the sun, and an array of small cupcakes made up of eat planet. You even took the time to measure the distance between them correctly.
❅ Small cookies made up of the moons and breads make the satellites.
❅ He cried. He didn't show you at all, but he got so emotional thinking about the fact that you really did love him enough to set it all up.
❅ He's a lot more sensitive than he gives off.
❅ His love language is probably gift receiving anyways.

☢ Won't eat them in front of you.
☢ He'll hold onto it awkwardly until he's given the chance to be alone.
☢ It's sentimental.
☢ You making all these little things specifically for him - it goes immediately into his heart.
☢ If you ever slow down in your process of gifting him stuff then he'll definitely call you out for it.
☢ It's mostly just him picking on you but it will honestly hurt him if you stopped giving him small treats every now and again.

I've once again had 6 hours to process everything I saw in season 4 so I'm just gonna say my thoughts on it (hold onto your fedoras again folks)
first off, WE FOUND OUT GRAY'S LAST NAME?? I was so shocked and happy at the same time I love how everyone asked for player's real name and we ended up with gray's surname for some reason shsjsj. NOBODY ASKED FOR THAT BUT THEY DELIVERED ANYWAY
ALSO GRAHAM IS AN ORPHAN?? my precious boy *throws mommy's boy headcanon out the window*
the second episode really had me shipping carmivy they're so cute we got a girl's trip and I'm all for it
I think I may now be a dash haber stan but let's not make a big thing of it
also ivy eating the chocolate in the middle of a mission deserves an honorable mention because of her cute little tongue (I'm weird okay djsjsjs)
zack trying to bond with shadowsan and him having none of it was delightful
that fucking robot god damn bellum really thought of everything didn't she every time I thought it was gone it made a come back I literally said out loud "carmen is so fucked"
I SWEAR TO GOD EVERY TIME GRAY TALKED ABOUT CARMEN I KEPT THINKING HE WAS GONNA SAY "BECAUSE I LOVE HER" IN WHICH CASE I WOULD HAVE DIED AND NOT IN A GOOD WAY
yall have no idea how relieved I was when I found out that photo of julia was her and her (presumably) mother and NOT a boyfriend sjsjsjs
catch me making a headcanon that julia has a single mom because her father disowned her for coming out as gay based on that picture alone 😭
I'M SORRY BUT THE AMOUNT OF FLIRTING BETWEEN CARMEN AND JULES?? PLEASE THEY'RE SECRET GIRLFRIENDS JUST ADMIT YOU CENSORED THEM AND GO
OKAY BUT WHEN THEY WERE IN JULIA'S OFFICE AND CARMEN SAID "WAY TO FOLLOW YOUR HEART JULES" AND SHE WAS LIKE "YOU REMEMBERED" I LOST IT WHAT DID CARMEN REMEMBER JULES?? DID THEY HAVE A CONVERSATION OFF SCREEN? MAYBE I'M JUST A BIG HUGE LESBIAN BUT THAT'S A BIT GAY LADIES
carmen getting all worried when julia wasn't answering her phone was the blessed gay content I signed up for PLEASE THEY CARE ABOUT EACH OTHER SO MUCH
never thought I'd say this but I loved devineaux this season he was funny, he improved his treatment towards julia (I don't recall him officially apologising I must have missed something djsjsjs)
the only thing I didn't like was it kinda seemed like they were trying to hint that chase and jules were into each other and I didn't really vibe with that
all that shit with dr bellum and the crown for cleo really had me thinking cleobellum was gonna be canon what a clown I am (seriously tho the way she lost it when the crown got stolen GIVE IT BACK IT BELONGS TO HER WIFE)
look all I'm saying is: tigress new outfit in the egypt episode was hot
HER FACE AT THE END AFTER SHE GOT TRAPPED WITH ALL THOSE BUGS
I wish julia and gray could have met there's so much friendship potential there 😭
is player... is he a bit 💅 I SEE THAT PRIDE STICKER ON YOUR LAPTOP YOUNG MAN YOU'RE NOT SUBTLE
ngl I nearly teared up when player finally met carmen in person
I'M SORRY BUT JULIA'S BLUSH IN EPISODE 7 PLEASE SHE'S SO SMITTEN WITH CARMEN IT'S BRILLIANT
EVIL CARMEN WAS REALLY SOMETHING ELSE I WAS SO SCARED SHE'D BE STUCK LIKE THAT FOREVER
I mentioned this in another post but when julia was like "don't you remember me? I'm your girlfriend friend, jules" I NEARLY FUCKING CRIED THEY WERE GETTING KINDA CLOSE AND THEN CARMEN GOT MIND WIPED
JULIA TOPS JULIA TOPS I SAID IT ALL ALONG AND IT'S TRUE SHE REALLY PINNED VILE CARMEN THAT'S TOP BEHAVIOR (also this now makes carmen a bottom I don't make the rules)
kinda shocked that paper star was hardly here I don't stan her so it didn't bother me much but still it was just strange they didn't use her this season
when shadowsan whipped out the last doll and carmen had all those flashbacks to when she was at vile I nearly started crying AGAIN
I LEGIT THOUGHT CARMEN HAD KILLED GRAY DJSJSJS AN ELECTRICIAN GETTING ELECTROCUTED THAT'S SOME IRONY RIGHT THERE
gray really confused me towards the end he kept switching sides every five minutes for the whole season I wasn't sure whether to trust him half the time dhshsjs
THE LOOK ON CARMEN'S FACE WHEN SHE THOUGHT SHE'D KILLED GRAY WAS SO HEARTBREAKING AND THEN SHE STARTED CRYING OH MY GOD I'M SORRY BABY
the way she's always been against hurting people/taking lives and then she ended up hurting all the people she loves (she nearly killed zack for god sake) really hit me hard
gray's ending was... kinda weird I understood the parallel of him not wanting to complicate carmen's life like she said about him in season 2 but it was still kinda strange that they didn't have one more conversation or get any closure
I'm obviously kinda upset that carulia wasn't canon they had so much potential imo and the show isn't about romance anyway BUT I'm happy with the content we got and THEY FLIRTED SO MUCH THEY'RE CANON IN MY HEART
THE TEAM RED GROUP HUG KILLED ME IT WAS SO CUTE
kinda annoyed that carmen just straight up left zack and ivy she really just left a note and said YEET
ivy's voice crack when she read the note got me all choked up
ngl I'm still not entirely sure how it ended I had to rewatch it a few times to understand what they were trying to imply sjsjsj
would have loved to know carmen's given name but at the same time she's literally THE carmen sandiego that's who she is, it would be silly to go by a name that she doesn't connect with just because her parents gave her it
her mom being a regular citizen was kinda bittersweet I mean a plot twist would have been good but at the same time it would make the story even more complicated
*dreams of a spinoff movie where we get better closure on everything*
ACME IVY ACME IVY I'M NOT AN IVY STAN BUT DAMN IF I AIN'T SIMPING FOR ACME IVY
I know carmen didn't want revenge but I feel like chief got let off with killing her father way too quickly if I'm honest sjsjsj
JULIA BEING IN CHARGE OF FINDING CARMEN'S MOM OH MY GOSH
I feel so bad for laughing when julia got knocked out the way the cloth fell on her head sent me but when the pole hit her head I was like "OKAY I TAKE IT BACK THIS ISN'T FUNNY ANYMORE"
was not expecting julia to physically fight anyone I mean she's always been so calm and collected and then this season she was like fuck it might as well hit a few people before we finish forever
wishing carmen and jules could have hugged or had a scene together where they talked about stockholm but I won't complain it wouldn't have really made sense anyway considering they were cool with each other at the university
so glad the trailer was misleading about the coach brunt situation I really didn't want her to get a last minute redemption
another honorable mention: cleo snapping at julia "DON'T YOU DARE IMPLY THAT I AM COMMON" sent me djdjs she was just stood there like "I am but a humble history lesbian leave me be"
I think that's everything I'll probably add to it later if I think of anything or I might make a part 2 djsjsjs (I've been writing this for almost an hour now 😭)
overall I enjoyed it from start to finish. I haven't really cried about it ending yet I'm still processing everything but I'll probably have a little sob when it finally hits me djsjsjs
CARULIA NATION WE BASICALLY WON NOW EXCUSE ME WHILE I REWATCH ALL THEIR SCENES TOGETHER AND MAKE IT MY ENTIRE PERSONALITY

Now, time for a post that only people who play Grounded will understand.
(This gets rambly, sorry)
So the new update is weird because I swear, they made the tazer robots slightly bigger, and moved around some stuff in the tree lab.
Also the update notes say they added termites. I haven't seen any yet, and I feel like that's a blessing, because every update adds more powerful bugs.
And uh... Really weird little detail, but did they change BURG.L's design slightly??? It's driving me insane I swear there's something different about him now but I can't tell exactly what.
Anyways, fun little story, I saw a stink bug and a bombardier beetle fighting, and the stink bug died, then, I swooped in and one-hit killed the beetle (very early in the game, mind you) because it had like 1 hp left. That was fun.
But yeah this game gets weirder every update, I swear, every time they update it, I feel like everything is just a little bit different, in a good way. Idk
