The Fourteen Hidden or "Bug" Audios In Order, With Reasoning

(i think! I'm fairly confident in this! I'm willing to Debate!)

12-14 / Howdy & Barnaby

[we know that Barnaby and Wally go to Howdy's every morning]

8-14 / Eddie & Frank

[the post office is right across from Howdy's]

6-14 / Julie & Frank

[Wally isn't scared of bugs, so he could be recruited to help with Frank's gardening problem]

1-14 / Howdy & Poppy

[Howdy mentions that he has a shipment waiting for his signature]

3-14 / Howdy & Sally

[it's possible that Wally went to Howdy's to get something for the beetles]

13-14 / Howdy & Eddie

[it looks like Wally just bought a box of apples, or something similar. Howdy signs for the shipment]

4-14 / Barnaby & Frank

[behind the pins, it looks like there's an apple or two on the ground. the shape and color is wrong for it to be tomatoes. an offering for the beetles?]

9-14 / Frank & Poppy

[the table is clear of yarn, and Frank references the damage done to his garden]

2-14 / Sally & Poppy

[there are cookies - Poppy mentioned to Frank that she might have a non-seed recipe for his butterflies]

10-14 / Julie & Sally

[Wally could have gone with Sally to help with the script reading]

5-14 / Barnaby & Eddie

[Eddie mentions that it's late in the day, and he already delivered the bowling balls]

7-14 / Eddie & Julie

[Barnaby calls, asking after Wally]

11-14 / Julie & Barnaby

[the lighting through the trees looks like afternoon/evening]

14-14 / Barnaby & Home

[the end deterioration is very final, and Barnaby references things that happened throughout his other audios]

#why yes i Did give myself a headache going through the mental gymnastics trying to make this cohesive #time to go take some tylenol! if im not immune to it yet that is! #dont make me go back to ibuprofen... it nearly gave me an ulcer on my stomach lining... #i also need everyone to know that i had 10 hour wii music playing while doing this #ANYWAY YEAH THIS HAS BEEN BUGGING ME FOR #uh. how long has it been since these audios dropped #SINCE THEN!!! #im still not entirely satisfied since some of the audios are just... so hard to place! #like some of them have indications - eddie saying its late in the day. howdy having a shipment waiting. the damage to the garden. etc #but some are just.... they could be anywhere #so i tried to follow a nonexistent through line #of 'hm. wally is with this person in this place so where would he end up next' #bc a neighbor might be like While You're Here! and thus two or so consecutive audios with the same neighbor #cause. he's already there. he might stick around or go along with them to do something else #yk. they just trade him off neighbor to neighbor #GAH IDK IDK IM NOT SATISFIED!!! #i feel like i have chunks that are Correct but agh. idk idk idk #homebogging #wh speculation #welcome home speculation #i think this counts as that! #the barnaby & eddie one - 5-14 - is whats tripping me up the most #and i think is the main thing keeping me deeply unsatisfied #cause eddie says its late in the day. so it must be near the end of the day's timeline #he already delivered the bowling balls and just aghggggg #biting biting biting- #no that one and eddie & julie - 7-14 #THE BARNABY PHONE CALL IS IMPORTANT TO PUTTING THESE IN ORDER I JUST KNOW IT #is it the first one??? like barn calls around to find wally for their morning walk? or does the howdy-barn audio come later #since they're having drinks instead of hot dogs? but they could have finished their hot dogs and stuck around for drinks-

...waitwait wait. So Ghosts, right. I've long thought that one of the twists we'll come across is that Ghosts are in fact made from both Darkness and Light, that they're almost similar in nature to Hive Throne Worlds. Memory and echoes and all that. And then it hit me that the quintessential Ghost, with an unmodified shell, is a black sphere surrounded by white pyramids. Light if it was Dark and Dark if it was Light.

#this isn't like. I'm not really going anywhere with this I just think this is a twist we're gonna get and this another little breadcrumb yk #I wonder what I could find to that effect in Prophecy/elsewhere #destiny theory #destiny 2

The sun and moon symbolism was used so well in LMK

I love how it wasn't used as a way to tell us about their personalities but instead as a way to reflect their beliefs, their places in the world and how their relationship with it can vary

When you think about sun and moon characters, the first things that comes to mind are "extrovert and introvert", "loud and quiet", "optimistic and realistic (or straight up pessimist)", etc. You think of two labels that are used, to put it simply, as a way to tell us that oh, this character is bright and nice and this other character is quiet and follows them anywhere. And depending on what you think about Shadowpeach, this might suit them! But if we're talking about canon, then it's just... not them

Macaque isn't a shy, timid guy who while he's smart and clever, he doesn't stand up for himself. SWK isn't a happy and cheerful but also dumb guy who tends to be the one to defend Mac when he doesn't do it himself

Here, the sun and moon symbolism is used to explain the nature of their relationship, not their personalities. It's used to give us a simple explanation of why they're that way without showing us a 20 minute backstory scene to make us understand what the fuck happened (though that wouldn't be unwelcome)

The sun shines brightly and gives us its warmth, but in the end, he'll always be alone; no one can get close to her without burning. The moon's brightness comes only from the sun, and she's most noticed when it's night, while the shadows cover the earth

The moon needs the sun to shine, but the sun wouldn't change at all if he wasn't there; Macaque needs SWK to be there for his character to be important. but Sun Wukong's story would have remained almost the same if Macaque had never been his friend. If you want a story where they never knew each other, just read JTTW!

However, while the sun doesn't need the moon at all in real life, these two characters are supposed to be actual people, not a rock and a ball of gas in space. Macaque can be his own person without Sun Wukong being there, and Wukong is strong enough to not need someone fighting by his side but still wants it anyway

They're not soulmates, at least not in the way the wind and the sea are. Sun Wukong's love for Liu'er Mihou isn't a thing destiny wrote. It's not heaven's, not space's, not faith's: it's his. And his love for Macaque is what makes him need him by his side

#idk there's smth about the fates not having written two ppl together in their story but them choosing to be together anyway that haunts me #i think that while swk n mac are a lot like the sun and the moon they're still yk #NOT the sun and the moon #mac might've left behind and swk may be too powerful for common mortals to truly reach him but #mac has (almost) the same power as swk even tho the moon isn't anywhere near to being as bright as the sun #and ig you COULD use it to show how ppl care about the moon as much as they do about the sun but this is about THEM #not abt what other ppl think they are. so it's about the actual sun n moon rather than what they mean to ppl #and #there are some ppl who CAN get close to swk without dying even tho the sun will kill anyone who gets close to it #the way macaque views their relationship is flawed n the way swk views it is #also flawed! #miscommunication and unreliable narrators my beloveds #lmk #lego monkie kid #sun wukong #the six eared macaque #the monkey king #liu'er mihou #swk #shadowpeach #i don't know how to put their relationship into words without it sounding weird #ig that what i'm trying to say is #that they are really important to each other #even if they hadn't needed each other they'd still choose each other #even if they hadn't chosen each other they'd still have needed each other #idk if i'm explaining myself well #the sun and the moon. never touching but always seen together even if they're never by each other's side irl #avis' post

everyday i constantly think of masato's wheelchair and if that's his only one/main one no wonder he's so pissed at everyone

#snap chats #someone pointed this out to me like last year so im stealing it sorry cause I Think Of It Constantly #the handling of masato's disability will forever annoy me esp with how vague it is but esp his chair #one day ill draw masato with an appropriate wheelchair. maybe then he'll be happy for once #in a way i guess it could tie into how restricted or trapped he felt since the type of chair he's shown is more like. a hospital one #and not one youd really use as a regular user- like in that vein it is a bit of storytelling in that he can ONLY go out with help #since hospital chairs are SO much different from home chairs ESPECIALLY in regards to mobility and independence the user has #AND NOT TO MENTION HOW UNCOMFORTABLE THOSE CHAIRS ARE get his ass a proper cushion P L E A S E #like it portrays the idea that its unfathomable for him to go anywhere on his own and so in that vein . Interesting Storytelling #theres a lot of implications going on here if im so honest and again it makes for Really Interesting Story Telling #however i refuse to give rgg credit like that when it comes to disabilities. ... they havent earned that from me yet #see this is why the vagueness of his condition annoys me because he's shown to be independent enough to roll himself to his elevator #and presumably get himself dressed but he cant have a proper chair ? #because ik there are people who have expressed they have conditions where even writing is tiring #so if his condition was in-line with that and it was hard for him to push himself in his chair then i could buy it #obviously the issue lies with his lungs but i just want to know the full extent yk... #to wrap this up tho ive been thinking of character design in rgg and how we dont give credit to it enough #sooooo if i make a second post ten minutes from now thats why cause i keep forgetting to spam my thoughts on here LMAO #ok bye

Thinking about getting a drawing tablet with a screen......... Oghgghhhh.......

#^ says as if wasn't saving up for it for like half a year #but oughghh bro im so broke i saved up so little... #i was really wanna get a tablet with a stylus that i could just use anywhere by itself so like. just usual tablet with a stylus #but good ones are so expensive.... #maybe i should just get the one that works with a laptop I've been working on a regular graphic tablet for years i can manage #they're much cheaper #maybe i could even buy it for my birthday.... with the birthday present money added of course. i don't have enough rn #god.... #i know graphic tablets without screen are perfectly fanctional and i dont have problems with using mine #(although there is a.... well a hole in the surface level of it.. it isn't a problem but yk it's there) #i just really want to see what im drawing bro i think its neat #shitpost #drawing struggles

[ritzcrackee]

potentially moving across the entire country has made me realize that i care about way less stuff than i thought i did

#like i thought that getting rid of a bunch of My ThingsTM was going to be like gut-wrenchingly awful but like... #its kind of exciting to maybe get a bunch of NEW stuff yk? #i have grown up money now i can just go ham at joanns.... get special editions of the books i like.... cool new masc wardrobe....... #oh my god i can get a new shelf and dressers too??? yeah its way easier to not be a hoarder when u have money #(dont get me wrong i still hate it screaming crying throwing up i wish i could just teleport all of my stuff) #(but alas #a price must be paid to live Anywhere Else Please God) #misc #eurgh

[craycraybluejay]

You ever start to wonder if u actually r in love with someone bc ppl keep mistaking u for a couple or telling u that's definitely more love than counts as another type of love.

And then u gotta be like no. I'm aro. Theres no way, right? And also it would never work and it'd be the worst heartbreak ever if u tried something like that. And there's no point to it yk. Like I don't need and generally don't want kisses and everything else is in realm of platonic and familial and sexual. So like. What am I freaking out over even. I've been over this.

#but tbf i think its so codependent weve both said we had romantic feelings at diff times years ago #and then that never went anywhere either time so it was moved past without any issue #like rly whats the big difference yk #to me romance reads exactly like a super close friendship maybe with sex involved #but then theres alloro aces who get in romantic relationships without sex #so then what exactly is romance at all #i dont even care that much you know #i dont need that extra drama in my life #but now i was made to think of it and it's stuck rotating in my head #i dont care. im happy as i am. things are perfect #arospec #aromantic #aroallo #lets be fwb except the benefit is we hold hands and kiss except that could happen anyway #like shut upppp

monkeys paw type situation

#i was going to watch every episode of doctor who this year. chat that’s not happening. i can feel the interest slipping #this sucks. like i should have seen it coming but it still sucks!! #god. part of it is just that i’m not as into fandom as i used to be in general. like i still post but i’m not a Poster yk #i think i’m only on tumblr for the community feel. i like seeing what my mutuals are up to and i like seeing cool art #and i like seeing silly little posts and i like seeing stupid memes. i haven’t found anywhere else on the internet w the same vibe rlly #also been here since i was fucking thirteen. fifteen on this blog. i’m invested #and it’d be silly to expect myself to keep the same interests that i did when i was fifteen for my Entire Life #i could go on a whole spiel about how i’m finally starting to feel like i’m not mentally 15 and stuck in my room but it’s ultimately irrele #i’m just not built to be into things forever </3 despite the fact that it always feels that way when i’m into it #hmm. i guess this is technically good timing i want to spend more time offline this summer. but also :[ why no permanent state of the self #morganposting #hey another excessively long tag rant from yours truly about inconsequential personal stuff!! it’s been awhile <3

Yeah!!! :] biggest fear is like. Killing them. Because you need to water them but also some plants are picky MEANIES and I could never keep track of them all,,

#askstag #my grandpa was The Plant Guy actually!!! #he had a buuunch of plants in his house like it was quite ridiculous #his backyard is really nice too and it's huuuge and he dug a. Somewhat illegal pond thing in it #at some point there were koi I believe then later a turtle that someone just? Gave to him? #like they had a turtle in their house and decided yeah let's give this to him #he also had a cool lil trainset #2 actually #one outside one inside #the inside one like. Ran through the basement but the track was like on the walls yk #like he built it elevated #the one outside had a lil camera on it and it went through a tunnel and was in the middle of a flowerbed #and there was this tiny mildly useless bridge that you could stand on and. Idk honestly. It didn't really go anywhere

so many versions of Fish...

original: sabito lionfish(xcatsharkxcoelecanth) & human giyuu met as kids, sabito goes to bother him(affectionate) @ his job at the aquarium(/merm rehabilitation/ocean research center usually. theyr Good)

1.5: sabito starts a mermaid theater group

2nd: vauge thought of traditional half-fish half-human mermaids, sabito as a white tipped reef shark. i forgot everything else :/

3rd: sabito & giyuu mermaids, giyuu gets seriously injured and a panicky sabito brings him to the aquarium, tries to follow them taking giyuu inside (shinobu & mitsuri trying to stop ~200lbs of Land Fish from going where he wants to go)

4th: all hashira mermaids, massive destructive hurricane/storm ripped through and they were some of the unlucky merms caught in it; local aquariums & water centers pitched in to help out the influx of injured merms & thats how they all meet

5th: mermaid giyuu & marine biologist sabito, sab finds fish out in the sea and it follows him home

6th: all humans mermaids, hashira + all the siblings/kids are a pod & get captured by illegal mermaid fishers which gets captured by authorities who find the fish in the brig(?) and take it to ppl who know what to do with them (aquarium) said ppl are the demons (humans now)

7th: some time pre-industrial era (all those^^ r modern) sabito as some worker on a ship that gets caught and capsizes in a nasty storm, gets rescued by giyuufish last minute [Castaways(barns courtny)]

#loserboy giyuu posting #fratboy sabito posting #mermaid au #ive posted abt 1 and 1.5 in the tags of marine biologist sabito & some other post i think but i havent written down #most of these like fuckin Anywhere..... #writing them out now to try keeping track of em #i wanna draw feesh but im bad at drawing feesh #oh well #also!! for giyuu's merm design i wanna give him the cat White Eyeliner thing. yk when some of em close their eyes and its lined w white #i think its cute. could also give him false eyes on the back of his eyelids thatd be funny #originally i was also gonna add false eyes to his ear fins #also thinking of the 7th one & the song i imagined a scene of sabito getting cornered on a cliff & he puts his faith (and himself) in #the ocean's arms. he crashes into the waves and those bioluminescent bacteria light up around him in massive ripples #he turns looking through the curtain of glowy blue to see giyuu right there waiting for him to take him away from his pursuers #also the 6th one sabito & giyuu were kept in seperate tanks while they were captured so when they woke up in the recovery tanks right #next to eachother they immediately reached over the edges to hug #also feel free to ask abt any of these ive got a solid bit of shit for all of em that i havent written out #except the newest one i thought of it literally just today

how do you people cope when you’re thinking soooo much about a topic but can’t Do anything with it

current collection of yincore quotes:

If you live your life making ‘hard choices’ and ‘necessary sacrifices’, do they eventually become self-justifying? Do you start to create these choices for yourself, because you see the most painful thing as the most necessary and proper? Do you begin to replicate the tragedies Empire has inflicted on you in the tragedies you inflict on others?

– Seth Dickinson

Her brother laughed a little. “Ah, Shae, if you decided to betray me, what could I do? What’s the point of life if you can’t even trust your own kin?” He kicked her foot under the table, a teasing, childish gesture. “For you to hand my head over to the Mountain, you must really hate me. I must be such a terrible brother that I’d deserve to die. So there was nothing to be done about it.”

– Jade City, Fonda Lee

"It's a situation doomed enough to laugh at, but he thinks of what he used to tell his students. Imagine being a planet. Don't laugh, he'd tell them. Try to imagine it. Eons of loneliness, and then one day your ellipsis peaks toward that of another planet and there is a gasp of nearness. Wouldn't you try to make the most of it? Wouldn't you, too, combust and flare and explode if you had to?"

– Guillermo Del Toro

#my rambles #lucales #sort of the appeal of yin in the period between when exalted was introduced and when grace's timeline was dropped is the *after* yk #you've broken out of this abusive place you've managed to leave the toxic codependent relationship you've been clutching onto for so long #as the only thing either of you have #but you still have these habits patterns of living miscalibrated expectations for what certains actions mean #what's the after like #idk I've started thinking about lucales again bc after recent revelations I think I get what past me was going for #had a burst of thinking about it a while ago bc I'd recently followed someone who tags posts with OCs a lot but it didn't get to anywhere #now though... it could be interesting yk #not that I have the time lol #these quotes aren't necessarily accurate in the specifics but yea

[ledians]

ok heres what happens.

#saiki has that crush on satou throughout highschool. ok we know that. #thats one sided and it never goes anywhere #saiki and akechi go to the same university. and while im not sure if i can describe it as romance #they do end up with a Weird Gay Thing going on yk #but ultimately they don't actually end up in a long term relationship. they're besties tho #teruhashi actively chooses to try to live averagely like saiki. she definitely doesn't become an actress or that kind of famous because #she doesn't want to be heavily associated with her brother. and maybe after saiki reveals he had powers she's inspired by that idk. #she's still perfect and popular and stands out in a crowd and she gets extra angel points for trying to live normally #bc ppl go omg so humble we expect nothing less 🥺 #although aiming for average saiki likes comfort so when they eventually cross paths again as adults they get closer #neither are attracted to most people but they share an undying respect and appreciation for each other and #idk if they ever fall in love romantically. i suppose they could. but they do get married regardless because they're like #well we're both 30 and single and comfortably well off. might as well. but its not a bad marriage or anything they're both happy with this #and again maybe they do fall in love idk #this is what post canon looks like in my head and if you disagree... thats cool idc #saikechi is gay college shenanigans and a connection that doesn't die #terusai is predictable normalcy averageness. and thats fine
