The story so far:

It was a dark and stormy night. The rain had woken you up, and you were starting to get cold.

>>Get a blanket

>>Go downstairs

———————————————

The blanket you grabbed was a gift from your grandmother. She knitted it herself.

As you got snuggled in again, you found yourself unable to get back to sleep. It seems as though getting up to snatch another blanket was just enough to keep you awake. So you quickly became bored.

>>Scroll through tumblr

>>Try to sleep anyways

>>Go downstairs

———————————————

You had turned on you phone in an attempt to entertain yourself. However, tumblr seemed to be glitching. In the middle of each post, it said

⚠️DON’T GO DOWNSTAIRS⚠️

>>Find something else to do

>>Ignore it. It’s just a glitch.

>>Go downstairs

———————————————

As you looked for something else to do, you heard something go *thud* downstairs.

>>Reassure yourself that it’s just the cat. Keep looking for something to do.

>>Panic. Call 911. Someone could be breaking in.

>>Go downstairs

———————————————

You went downstairs, despite the small voice in the back of your head telling you to stay upstairs.

At the end of the staircase, you notice that the umbrella stand near the entrance has fallen over. Which is strange, considering you don't have an umbrella stand

>>Go to the kitchen. All of this walking around has made you hungry.

>>Fix the umbrella stand.

>>Go back upstairs go back upstairs please for the love of God go back upstairs

———————————————

You quickly turned around to go back up the stairs, but out of the corner your eyes, you see something move.

>>Go and see what it was. It could be the cat.

>>GO UPSTAIRS GO UPSTAIRS GO UPSTAIRS GO UPSTAIRS GO UPSTAIRS GO UPSTAIRS GO UPSTA

———————————————

Not wanting to stick around, you quickly turn and rush up the stairs. Just in time too, it seems, as you felt something try to grab your ankle. It felt cold, like ice. Luckily, you managed to slip out of its grip.

>>Turn to see what it is

>>Kick whatever tried to grab you

>>WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN-

———————————————

Fast as a rabbit, you make it to the top of the stairs.

>>Check to see if it's still behind you

>>Go back to your room

>>Jump out the window

———————————————

At the bottom of the stairs, it's completely pitch black, with the exception of two bright spots, almost like little headlights. They almost look like eyes. However, it doesn't seem to be able to come upstairs. You are safe. For now.

>>Rush to your bedroom

>>Point and laugh at whatever it is. It can't get you anyway (or can it?)

>>Go downstairs

———————————————

Once you made it to your bedroom, you feel yourself begin to calm down. Whatever adrenaline your body had pumped into you had started to wear off.

>>Go to bed

>>Find a plush. Maybe the Thing would like it?

>>Go downstairs

———————————————

You find a plush and go back to the stairs, where the thing is still waiting. Gently, you pushed the plush down towards it. As soon as it reached the bottom step, something black and sharp reached out and stabbed clean through the middle. With the stuffy still attached, it retreated. Soon the sound of ripping fabric filled the air.

>>Go back to your room

>>Go hide in the bathroom

>>Go downstairs

———————————————

Back in your room, you try to decide what you should do. After all, you're starting to get bored.

>>Read a book

>>Go to bed

>>Go downstairs

———————————————

You grab a random book off the shelf. Anything to distract you. But you find that you can't focus on any of the pages. The Thing hasn't been able to leave your mind.

>>Leave the book and find something else to do

>>Try to see if there's a way to get rid of the Thing

>>Go to sleep

>>Go downstairs

#there are two possible routes here #both of them are right #but which one will you choose?#dgd #don't go downstairs #poll #cyoa #choose your own adventure #part 14

Sasha: I'm still trying to figure out why you're in love with me.

Marcy: Because you're sweet and funny.

Sasha: Anne says I'm bitter and grumpy, so one if you is lying.

the thing is there's like, a point of oversaturation for everything, and it's why so many things get dropped after a few minutes. and we act like millennials or gen z kids "have short attention spans" but... that's not quite it. it's more like - we did like it. you just ruined it.

capitalism sees product A having moderate success, and then everything has to come out with their "own version" of product A (which is often exactly the same). and they dump extreme amounts of money and environmental waste into each horrible simulacrum they trot out each season.

now it's not just tiktokkers making videos; it's that instagram and even fucking tumblr both think you want live feeds and video-first programming. and it helps them, because videos are easier to sneak native ads into. the books coming out all have to have 78 buzzwords in them for SEO, or otherwise they don't get published. they are making a live-action remake of moana. i haven't googled it, but there's probably another marvel or starwars something coming out, no matter when you're reading this post.

and we are like "hi, this clone of project A completely misses the point of the original. it is soulless and colorless and miserable." and the company nods and says "yes totally. here is a different clone, but special." and we look at clone 2 and we say "nope, this one is still flat and bad, y'all" and they're like "no, totally, we hear you," and then they make another clone but this time it's, like, a joyless prequel. and by the time they've successfully rolled out "clone 89", the market is incredibly oversaturated, and the consumer is blamed because the company isn't turning a profit.

and like - take even something digital like the tumblr "live streaming" function i just mentioned. that has to take up server space and some amount of carbon footprint; just so this brokenass blue hellsite can roll out a feature that literally none of its userbase actually wants. the thing that's the kicker here: even something that doesn't have a physical production plant still impacts the environment.

and it all just feels like it's rolling out of control because like, you watch companies pour hundreds of thousands of dollars into a remake of a remake of something nobody wants anymore and you're like, not able to afford eggs anymore. and you tell the company that really what you want is a good story about survival and they say "okay so you mean a YA white protagonist has some kind of 'spicy' love triangle" and you're like - hey man i think you're misunderstanding the point of storytelling but they've already printed 76 versions of "city of blood and magic" and "queen of diamond rule" and spent literally millions of dollars on the movie "Candy Crush Killer: Coming to Eat You".

it's like being stuck in a room with a clown that keeps telling the same joke over and over but it's worse every time. and that would be fine but he keeps fucking charging you 6.99. and you keep being like "no, i know it made me laugh the first time, but that's because it was different and new" and the clown is just aggressively sitting there saying "well! plenty of people like my jokes! the reason you're bored of this is because maybe there's something wrong with you!"

#this was much longer i had to cut it down for legibility #but i do want to say i am aware this post doesnt touch on human rights violations as a result of fast fashion #that is because it deserves its own post with a completely different tone #i am an environmental educator #so that's what i know the most about. it wouldn't be appropriate of me to mention off-hand the real and legitimate suffering #that people are going through #without doing my research and providing real ways to help #this is a vent post about a thing i'm watching happen; not a call to action. it would be INCREDIBLY demeaning #to all those affected by the fast fashion industry to pretend that a post like this could speak to their suffering #unfortunately one of the horrible things about latestage capitalism as an activist is that SO many things are linked to this #and i WANT to talk about all of them but it would be a book in its own right. in fact there ARE books about each level of this #and i encourage you to seek them out and read them!!! i am not an expert on that i am just a person on tumblr doing my favorite activity #(complaining)#and it's like - this is the individual versus the industry problem again right because im blaming myself #for being an expert on environmental disaster (which is fucking important) but not knowing EVERYTHING about fast fashion #i'm blaming myself for not covering the many layers of this incredibly complicated problem im pointing out #rather than being like. yeah so actually the fault here lies with the billion dollar industries actually.#my failure to be able to condense an incredibly immense problem that is BOOK-LENGTH into a single text post that i post for free #is not in ANY fucking way the same amount of harm as. you know. the ACTUAL COMPANIES doing this ACTUAL THING for ACTUAL MONEY.#anyway im gonna go donate money while i'm thinking about it. maybe you can too. we can both just agree - well i fuckin tried didn't i #which is more than their CEOs can say

neil gaiman and RTD are absolute legends for being the showrunners of 2 mainstream shows funded by large production companies in the year 2023, and proceeding to make the most queer positive episodes ever seen by man

meanwhile david tennant is just vibrating with joy because he gets more opportunities to wear his one-thousand-and-twenty-four pride pins

#neil gaiman #rtd #good omens #doctor who #rtd looking over at the loki showrunners and calling them cowards #i mean that actually did happen #i'm just imagining rtd taking disney money and neil taking amazon money and chucking it in at a queer generator #oh we got more money? great let's throw in another lesbian #while all those execs look on in horror #David tennant frantically signing the contracts #nobody doing allyship like dt being the common denominator for both these #good omens eason 2 #doctor who 60th anniversary #the star beast #david tennant #lgbtq+#queer representation #trans rights #nonbinary rights #anthony j crowley #aziraphale #there are too many queer characters in GO to tag #the doctor #14th doctor #rose noble #beep the meep #yes lol im tagging beep here too #meme?#our flag means death #not in this but it's also queer positive media released this year

Personally I think percabeth is at its best when Grover is in it. I don’t necessarily mean in a polycule way I just think it’s great when he’s around

#just you and me and me and you just us and our friend Grover :)#he IS a third wheel. however he’s a very appreciated 3rd wheel who is never left out of anything except make out sessions.#he comes on 90% of their dates and would probably come on all of them but he’s Busy :(#and also he exasperatedly tells them that a date should probably include only the people dating. he’s tired of watching them make out okay.#like he’s genuinely happy for them but for the love of PAN. he is RIGHT HERE.#they both smack his ass as they do each others and like to pretend to break up with each other to date him. they flirt with him sometimes.#there are no romantic feelings involved on either side. annabeth and Percy just think they’re hilarious #when they get married they’ll probably end up marrying him too tbh. even just spiritually. he probably lives with them #percabeth #pjo #grover underwood #annabeth chase #Percy Jackson

Begging swifties to understand that Taylor didn’t write reputation and Lover with the knowledge of how the relationship was going to end and that trying to “excavate” those albums for evidence to prove a specific theory as to why it ended is not how they should be viewed. Taylor wrote those songs feeling a very specific way because that’s what she was experiencing and she is now reflecting on them with hindsight and relates to them differently than when she first created them. These conflicting emotions can exist; how she views it now doesn’t diminish how she felt about it when she first released it.

#taylor swift #don’t know if I’m expressing myself as properly and as articulate as I’d like #but both of the emotions she’s feeling about the songs can coexist #like little lover can still be a love song that’s what it was for her for a while #but she can also look back and say ‘oh maybe this wasn’t the best’ but it doesn’t void what it was originally #like I keep seeing things like oh she wrote this lyric in lover about him not showing up and it’s like no that’s not right #like yes you can see her underlying anxieties and fears in those songs because she was open about them #it doesn’t mean she predicted how it would end #there was a point in time where she thought this man was the one and would write about feeling that way

"How fucked are we regarding this mission, on a scale from 1 to 10?"

Using this ask as an excuse to write abt the au Angel helped me develop on discord a few nights ago that’s partially an excuse for me to possibly one day spread propaganda for my love of the idea of Chris and Claire having a sibling dynamic 💜 Also Angel remember how I talked abt wanting to form shit for this au past the evil? This is what Chris and Claire are up to between that evil and when they join the ministry

“How fucked are we regarding this mission, on a scale from one to ten?” Claire hadn’t expected to find Chris in his parents’ house, he never really went there. But he was in his mother’s library, going through her books. It couldn’t be a good sign.

“You? A one. I don’t think this’ll have that much paperwork. Me? Fifteen I think, I can’t find shit about what this thing. I mean-how does a tree come to life and almost kick my ass? That sounds like a bad movie monster.” There was basically a circle of books around Chris, and a few notebooks with different points of interest scrawled out in rushed handwriting. “… maybe I should just blow it up? I mean we probably won’t get paid if I fuck up the park but. People could get hurt… it’s not like we’re struggling for money. That. Would probably bring your fucked level up to a five though, sounds like paperwork.” That was true, Chris was basically a trust fund baby, apparently his dad’s side of the family had money from something they’d been doing for generations, and Chris inherited quite a bit when his dad passed, even if his dad’s responsibilities in the business had gone to Chris’ uncle. Claire felt a bit bad, basically freeloading off him, but he’d insisted her helping with the paperwork for his monsterhunting escapades made them even, despite the fact that she was paid significantly more than a paperwork salary, and lived in his house for free. Maybe she was just still getting used to someone else looking out for her

“… Civilian lives would definitely be most important. We’ll be fine if we mess up one job, and I don’t mind the paperwork if that’s what it comes to. It’s what you pay me for.”

“… when it was attacking me-the roots-thorns-whatever it was using had some. Fleshy growths at the end…”

“Maybe that’s a weak spot?” Claire suggested, “Were you just trying to attack the tree itself, or did you try attacking those?”

Chris paused, before jumping up and grabbing her into a hug, almost knocking her over in the process, “Claire Miller you are a genius!”

“Thank you??” Claire laughed.

“I didn’t even think of that! Maybe I won’t have to blow the thing out of the ground now!”

“You would’ve loved blowing it out of the ground.” Claire shook her head, “But you’re welcome.” She paused, “When did you last eat, by the way, you’ve been gone all day.”

“Uhhh let’s not talk about that.”

“Uhhh let’s get food.” She countered, shaking her head, “I swear if I wasn’t around you’d die or go crazy.”

“Yeah, probably. And if I wasn’t around you’d probably have murdered your stepdad by now.”

“That was uncalled for.”

An unbothered queen has entered, and subsequently left.

[First] Prev <–-> Next

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wen qing #wen ning #jiang cheng #wei wuxian #In the audio drama she quite literally opens the door and then leaves after seeing them without breaking conversation.#It is both so impressive and deeply funny to me.#I imagine her just literally pivoting in one foot and walking right out.#She came home after a long day at work and in 0.5 seconds went “I would rather go back to the office than deal with this right now”.#Besides tickling me to near tears - this scene is also a great introduction to Wen Qing - her first instinct is to protect!#She lives by the code of 'I don't care who you are - if you need help I will lend it.' a true doctor and professional.#Sure she is *mad* that Wen Ning puts himself (and her to a lesser extent) at risk by helping 'the enemy' but she gives in quick.#I love Wen Qing a lot - she is such an unsung hero in this story.#Sorry that her first appearance on this blog was...what it was. I'll let your curiosity take you down that path...

cas would not kiss dean first. dean would also not kiss cas first. this is their tragedy. but a shapeshifter or some kind of monster clone or djinn dream would initiate the first kiss and they would 100% return it. or the real dean and cas would've just simply fallen together somehow like tripped and fell and gravity would bring their mouths together whoops anyway they'd both take it from there - and that's not fate pulling strings it's just dumb luck for these two dumbasses (affectionate)

#destiel #thoughts #and btw: i don't know why everyone thinks i'm trying to woobify cas by saying he wouldn't kiss dean first.#fact: dude literally waited for death's door to confess his love so he wouldn't burden dean with his feels - but at least he could #use them to save dean. and he thought he couldn't have dean (the one thing he wanted..) which is why he didn't make the first move #bc he thought there would be no further moves. i don't understand what's not clicking. anyway they're both dumbasses #don't bother fighting me i know i'm right

What do we think, will we get Briar Valley Event somewhere in the future? And WILL WE SEE PRESENT PEEPAW ZIGVOLT? I wonder what Sebek meant that he looks older and I really wanna see Lilia and his relationship after retirement. What do you think?

god I hope so, I desperately want to see Briar Valley and whatever family member they throw at us. and if it's Baul I hope he's the exact same sprite but with, like, a mustache crudely pasted on. that's how he looks in my head and in my heart.

my entire KINGDOM to see one or both of Sebek's parents though, they are the best characters in all of Twst and they haven't shown up even once. 😭 though I think I might prefer his dad, because 1) show me the noodley dentistman, and 2) Mrs. Z is such a mythical figure in my mind at this point that reality could never compare (w-what if she gets a canon design and she isn't a hundred feet tall and could crack the earth by flexing her thighs, how could I go on) (jk jk she's so great that I would love her no matter what) (but also...)

of course based on past Twst events if they go to Briar Valley it's just going to go basically like this:
