#personal #valorant rly grinds my gears sometimes #like most of the time it's the perfect mix of it's the same shit #but slightly different each game #and that scratches an itch in my brain juuuuuust right #but then #then you get the people #most are neutral some are incredibly nice #and others #others are quite literally some of the worst people to exist #like you'd rly bash someone for locking another agent before you?? #and don't say anything until the end and have the audacity to say don't ever lock them again?? #like babe first of all #that's cringe af #and second of all #some people like to lock them for fun/ they're learning the agent #don't be a fucking shithead about it #this is specifically about ascendants #it's almost always an ascendant or an underperforming dude #there's never any inbetween #asc has some of the worst people the egos are so big you can see them from space man #like in verrry average at the game #but at least I'm not a douche canoe ragging on other players for locking in an agent and doing the median #what a clown thing to do #rant

Hi there! I hope you're doing well!

In your human au, do you imagine Julie and Frank to have a similar relationship to Barnaby and Wally (lifelong platonic partners) or are they more toned down?

In that same vein do you imagine them having something similar in cannon since ik you have your analysis of Julie initially being Frank's love interest, but do you think they can move past that and come back stronger?

Have a great day/night whenever you are 🫶🏽

more toned down, i think! less "i literally cannot imagine a life without you" and more "two stray cats that bonded and are not inseparable". i imagine that Frank & Julie were planning on living in the same town, but they wanted their own living spaces to do with as they please without having to compromise. i like to think that they got neighboring properties - or do they live in the same apartment / condo building? still thinking about everyone's living spaces...

and Yes! i like to adhere to canon as much as possible with my aus. i imagine that when they met in school Julie may have developed a crush on Frank, but has long since grown out of it. and she learned pretty quick that uh... hon... Frank's a lover of men <3

#lmao maybe once julie figures out her gender fluidity #she'll go to frank like 'if i knew then - would you have liked me back?' #and frank has to let her down gently a second time <3 #sorry jules you are Not his type <3 he likes hunky mailmen <3 #julie spotted a depressed emo boy and went Wow! That One Is Mine! #and she was right <3 #like... if they go a full day without seeing each other they'll be sad #but they can handle it yk? they can manage without each other #they enjoy pursuing separate lives but they want to Share that separation over gardening sessions and games #rambles from the bog #wh modern human au #they're best friends! slightly codependent! but they're not at barnaby & wally's level #those two are just. operating in a whole different wheelhouse #regular chess vs 4d chess yk yk #'you are one of - if not The - most important person in my life' vs 'if you die i die' #if you catch my groovy drift... #you have a good day/night As the Case May Be as well!

!!TW!!

Drawn blood; implied & mentioned stabbing; mutliple eyes; mentioned strangling (stay safe!)

I was going to include some "aftermath" and side doodles that connect to this but I thought that ive been gone for long enough :') so heres your "unfluff-ified" o'neil and elias ^^

Dialogue underneath the cut! <3

First Set of Texts (Right Side)

You know... you'd think that after a heart-to-heart, there would be a lesser chance that we would harm each other. And yet you still decided to hit me over the head with a keyboard. Over and over until it broke. And then you resort to strangling me.

Second Set (Right Side)

Oh great, you're smiling. Are you happy? Are you satisfied that you finally got to pour all your faustruation and anger out on me? Oh, who am I kidding? A few hits over the head with a keyboard and an attempted strangle is far from encompassing all that rage.

Third Set (Left Side)

Tsk. All of this blood. You've made a terrible mess, dear boy.

Fourth Set (Left Side)

No matter. Nothing that a reset can't fix.

Fifth Set (Left Side)

But do know, Stanley, that I will not be attempting to come down again until you've developed yourself a sense of self-control.

Context as well! (Mentions of stabbing and strangling!)

This is set during the first time O'Neil comes down to visit Elias physically! It didn't go very well; Elias acted on impulse and quite literally hit O'Neil over and over on the head with a keyboard until it broke, and then started strangling him. O'Neil, needing to defend himself, grabbed the nearest item - which was a pen - and stabbed Elias in the eye with it. Then, cue comic!

#Yes #Trying to twinge their relationship a little ;) #Still very affectionate to each other but sometimes in a Slightly Morally Wrong Way #Sometimes #Listen they literally berate and hurt each other you dont expect them to start having a completely healthy companionship after that #The fact that the game can reset injuries and disorganized stuff just further enables them and their bs #What else was i supposed to say? #Uh #OH YEAH the sudden multiple eyes on narrator!! #It does that when he's under extreme bouts of pressure #For them #More eyes mean more control and grasp over the situation #Which #It actually doesnt make any difference at all #sometimes they can do it on purpose #sometimes not #And elias is just #elias #A little more impulsive this time around 👀 #the stanley parable #tspud #tsp #tsp narrator #tspud narrator #tsp stanley #tspud stanley #tspud au #tsp au #Alibi!

#GUYS I LOVE. LORE #anyway anyway anyway ok ok ok those must be the founders #I highly doubt those are Our Boys(tm) but considering MILEENA is already present in EDENIA I guess everything goes in this timeline #my current guess is that those are the lin kuei & shirai ryu founders #also considering how alike they look. with the long hair and general palette-swap style (teehee) #as well as liu kang LITERALLY saying ''you can face each other as sworn enemies... or united as brothers'' while those two are on screen- #it wouldnt surprise me if they're related. tho only one of them has cryomancy so it might just be an oath thing #another point as to why they might not be related: hair implantation is different and general shape of eyes & brows are slightly different #guess we'll have to wait and see #ANYWAY LOOK AT THIS GNGNHNGNGNH GOD I LOVE WHEN GAMES ARE SOOO PRETTY #THEY LOOK SO COOL WHOEVER THEY AREEE #tagging later #mortal kombat #scorpion #sub zero

I’ve been learning Norwegian with books and Duolingo for the last (almost) year and every time I read “helgen” I instantly think of the exact opposite of what I’m supposed to think of. Practicing Norwegian? Think of Skyrim. Playing Skyrim? Why is this town named “the weekend”? I can’t win. The wrong one is always the first to come to mind

#emma posts #Skyrim #game developers: open up a Norwegian dictionary and point to a word at random #that’s a town now #it could also be a joke or something #I don’t remember if the start of the game takes place during an in-game weekend but if it does #the town only lasted a weekend (to you) #but a weekend implies two days #maybe it’s a Swedish word or something instead #I haven’t gotten that far into Swedish and Icelandic uses a lot of different letters #they seem to have gotten rid of a lot of them on the continental Nordic countries #but I don’t know ANY danish and I have no concept of Faroese (I am so sorry if I massacred the spelling) #I don’t have a Swedish dictionary so I’d have to use google translate or something to check #Icelandic seems to have more words for things than Norwegian but I’m not really learning that language yet #my grandparents decided to try learning Icelandic first and I am like. in awe but also a bit sorry #they don’t really have a reason to learn Norwegian and Swedish though. unlike me #and apparently Icelandic is the hardest to learn. which is why I developed my fantastic learning strategy #Norwegian seems slightly easier to learn as a native English speaker than Swedish does. and Icelandic is obviously the hardest. but it’s #also closest to their shared ancestor (remember I’m talking about language) so if I start with Norwegian it will be easiest and then #with each of the other languages the next should be easier than it would be without the other two #Norwegian and Icelandic have an interesting history as related languages but that’s not important to this discussion #but… Icelandic is all the same and Norwegian and Swedish have a whole bunch of regional stuff and oh boy idk #but all I need to know for the foreseeable future is how to read and listen #I don’t need writing and speaking yet #this would be so much easier if my grandparents had not just switched to English and forgot any of the other languages they grew up with #though the Icelandic ones didn’t speak much at all compared to my dad’s parents who spoke some of theirs as kids #I could know even more languages by now if everyone hadn’t just switched to English. though I keep forgetting how to write Spanish. that’s #only half related though. since it’s the second most popular language in my country we had some classes as kids and some media that was #bilingual but not enough for me to ever be fluent. plus I freeze up any time I try conversation because I get too nervous about making #mistakes. I’m so off track in the tags though

[waywardsalt]

its weird how botw/totk and. pretty much all of the other loz games seems to have entirely separate fandoms at times

#like. how they dont typically intersect if that makes sense? like botw/totk people seem to only talk abt botw/totk #like when ppl talk abt loz ships it doesnt seem uncommon for only botw/totk ships to be mentioned #so botw/totk stuff and other loz stuff seems slightly isolated from each other its kinda interesting #its a little frustrating? bc the botw/totk bits seem to be most popular rn and. i really dont give a shit abt it #granted i holed myself up in my little ph niche corner so nothing i like is going to be popular #but its just weird. i migjt delete this later. idk if this divide is a good thing or a bad thing #but it does feel emblematic(?) of how vastly different botw/totk are to the rest of the series #cuz its like!! i get theres likely an age divide ajd botw/totk are v accessible and new and stuff #and fine if you dont want to branch out from there #but its a little weird how most loz stuff is just Two(ish) games nowadays that barely even resemble everything else #like!!? the most popular link is fucking Blue while hes not even remotely the majority in that its so strange. i prefer green link #idk hiw to explain this??? i think i just have a personal frustration w/ it in how botw/totk are so seperate but eclipse everything else

I managed to post once each month this year so I can actually post a year in review. I'm pretty pleased with my improvement over the year, particularly with shading and composition. I found a lot of cool artists last year and hopefully this year I will be more social. Thanks to everyone that followed me and those of you consistently liking and reblogging. Also shoutout to everyone who puts stuff in the tags I love you.

I am never not thinking about hardison and eliot looking at each other while parker changes in the elevator and turning away once it's immediately clear the other dude's spooked too

#am I reading a lot into a tiny moment: yes #do I wholeheartedly believe it: 100% #just that barest hint of dudes prepared to keep other dudes in check #(pausing to picture for my health eliot smacking a military buddy on the back of the head #for saying something shitty #shelley is allowed at team poker games because he did that to eliot once) #leverage #for me this is one of those shows where you're trying to pin down what's weird about it #and you realise ages in you're not low key worried on behalf of the vulnerable characters #'cos we're shown from so early on that these characters are Safe #—and THEN eliot and parker standing close to each other while changing is an entirely DIFFERENT kind of safe #the one that says it isn't a big deal to either of them so they're not gonna be weird about it— #listen I'm just slightly feral about it alright #do you know how much it bothers me that I'm not totally convinced the last episode elevator scene even HAPPENED #nate is not a reliable narrator folks we never SEE the actual thing #but the cosiness and flirtiness and humour and respect of it kills me #that is all <3 #dug out of my drafts because it is Time To Vibe #[tags have been copied over in a reblog]

we love silly gays in THIS household!!! gimme the sweet sweet oakworthy and swiftli thoughts 👉👈

Aye aye, Nyx!!! o7

Oakworthy up first! Absolutely tragic that they don't have a bingo </3

Now for the Swiftli stans out there... also no wins hell is REAL

#i was sooooo tempted to circle 'not dating but married nonetheless' for swiftli bc their whole dynamic is just. #idk they kinda give sitcom married couple sometimes with all their fun banter #but yeah the devotion of those two! highly underrated! link literally swapping with nicky for taylor fully expecting to be killed like. #and then taylor immediately going back for link knowing full well how dangerous it was??? they're SO ride or die it's ridiculous #and like. theoretically speaking i COULD make them fucked up but mostly they're my goofy little funtime boys <3 #on the other hand. oakworthy. these guys can fit so much angst in them hehe >:) #also i think it's so funny that both of these pairings are slightly different definitions of enabling the worst in each other #for oakworthy it's like. 'i can fix him!!!' *actively makes him worse physically and mentally through a series of zany hijinks* #and then swiftli is. well. gestures at episode 27. they just keep 'yes and'-ing each other until their mistakes catch up with them #but yeah i LOVE these guys so much they're all so sillies!!! #thanks for the ask nyx <3 #ask game #dndads #oakworthy #swiftli #kaseyskat

had a dream that there was a boss fight in erebus (not hecate, for some reason) that Eris literally pulled me out of midway through the fight, made fun of me and then made me fight her instead. weird treetops arena, she had spider powers for some reason (she also threatened arachne?)

lost that fight. next run there was some kind of barrier blocking my path, nemesis on the other side of the barrier was like ugh fuckin eris, how do you deal with her, I was like no fucking clue! then got teleported to the eris fight but right after nemesis had fought her, so eris was at half health. beat her, then she rigged the other boss fight in my favor

#evan speaks #dream journal #hades 2 #then the dream segued into games that were like slightly different versions of each other #and then ultimately into minecraft

#the best thing about the disco elysium shipping is how completely unexpected it was #was not in any way setting out to be like hmm gayness but it truly was a surprise slowburn for me to being like #omg kim is actually the best and #canon gay in a realistic way where he keeps it to himself on the job and you only find out if you get to know him in certain ways and #same with harry too because he's so forgetful and sometimes dense but #their little moments of being a bit soft and protective to each other are sooooo 🧡 #truly feels like when someone you've known for a while suddenly appears in a slightly different light to you or when you get to a new level #of friendship with them you know what i mean #where it's like oh there's more to this person than i knew or assumed #maybe my fave thing about the game so far (but I'm not done yet) #just a very realistic sense of getting to know someone else that way i find #disco elysium #disco elysium spoilers #p

[succubusted]

I do think it's funny that predatory normie-type mobile games are pouring so much into making their advertisements queer flavored like

"come play Generic Empire Building PTW #327, you can be gay!"

and honestly the strategy works better than it should on me

#advertisements do make me grouchy tho bc they NEVER represent actual gameplay #when the actual gameplay isn't BAD. boring a bit but not bad. #the art is usually p nice and-- when translated properly-- the actual writing is serviceable! #don't just be gimmicky if it's a generic hero collection and empire builder/resource farmer just fuckin SAY IT #im looking directly at king's choice and bloodline for this #and even isekai! the games are shockingly similar when comparing their advertisements. they each have their own quirks but #at the end of the day they are almost exactly the same game just with slightly different focuses #not bad to play! just predatory ptw that can't TELL YOU WHAT THE ACTUAL GAME IS

{Once again decaf comes in clutch by being patient and understanding. XD Red marks indicate things that are only half true and therefore do not count:}

{• Hanekoma has plenty of red flags, but he does his best not to let those define him and will actively work to not let them affect his love life.

• If she desperately does not want him to, she can ask and he'll not call her "doll" (specifically), but he's probably going to let it slip beforehand at some point, as doll is one of those vintage terms he'll occasionally throw around.

• He doesn't know how to play chess right now, but he would likely be able to learn quickly. He just needs to be taught the rules.}

“…”

She stares. Simply stares and refuses to accept the results. Not that she wouldn’t find it appealing, Mr. Hanekoma and herself, but she doesn’t quite understand. She sees him as a completely different person. He is completely different. She needs more time to fully comprehend the results. There will be no comments from Nunnally.

Well, this is when Nunnally has a cognitive problem. As she sees Hanekoma as a completely different person than he is coming through this bingo. I think this is mainly because “how” they interacted so far as Hanekoma was mainly gentle and helpful towards her. But I think it would interesting to see when she actually starts to discover his darker sides. Also I actually think that in their case the half-trues is where they can mostly bind together. Especially from the demon!Nun perspective.

#sanae hanekoma #strawberry barista #nunnally's bingo #dash game #but imagine #perhaps just perhaps #they can get more romantic with each other at some point #though demon!nun is slightly different #i do not think it is completely impossible #and bingo says there are pretty big chances for that #perhaps time and patience is what they need

my polyam ass having a thought that two polyships i like (one i had been making for years, and other that i only just started to get into recently) have colors that really works well-
