the dm experience of getting messages from your player's saying, "what if we did this fucked up thing to my guy?" and my immediate reaction being, "babes I would LOVE to inflict the fucked up thing on your guy."

I am begging you to tell me more about yandere Sydney, the idea of him being so secretly unhinged and worshiping us is so like 😫 hopefully this isn’t weird btw you totally don’t have to answer I just saw your post about it and liked the idea! Have a great day ^^

Yandere Sydney hours because I am mentally unwell and delusional.

Like I mentioned in my previous post; depending on Sydney's purity or corruption he will most likely either have you in an altar like his savior, or he'll become your savior.

Pure Sydney is clingy but he can still keep up the facade of purity while he takes advantage of your belief that he's just a good boyfriend while getting to become attached to you - completely forgetting your boundaries or if your classes begin in a few minutes before going back to his calm, soft facade. I believe that pure Sydney would be tempted by the idea of kidnapping you under the excuse that he needs to keep you safe and pure from any other sinner. He needs you in his life - you're practically a miracle and cannot let go of you. However, he wouldn't do it. He doesn't really wants to ruin his image like that to you.

Corrupted Sydney however doesn't does such things; because he's aware you will come back crawling to him. Kidnapping is unnecessary as he's confident you need him as much as he needs you. He provides you with love, he knows how to make you cry and beg for his touch. He knows exactly where to touch and how to do it for you to melt under him - enough until you're addicted.

You won't be able to live without him; Robin is a good friend but - Sydney is practically your other half. He listens to you, loves you dearly, would never say 'no' to a single request you make, and honestly it's nice to actually have a man who can grow a spine and step up to keep you safe.

So, there's no need to look for anyone else - just him, right?

I dunno who may need to hear this right now, but if you're like me, and for a long time have been struggling with near-constant anxiety: You're more competent than you think. If someone tells you to do something, and you panic and mess up, it's not because you're incompetent or stupid. It's your state of anxiety and being in constant fight-or-flight mode that is messing with your ability to respond properly. You're not a horrible person for it, and you should not be yelled at because of it. If you can't get out of the situation that is causing you that level of anxiety, try to find safe and healthy methods to calm yourself. I've found that breathing exercises help me out a lot.

I'm praying for peace, and the easing of your anxiety for all of you. <3

This might be a bit of a hot take, but Twilight Princess was the last Legend of Zelda game that felt like the creators had a clear creative intent and were truly passionate about the story they were telling.

that's not to say that the games since then are bad games, lack creativity, or to undermine the amount of work that goes into them. I am also not saying that Twilight Princess is a perfect game, it's not that great(and sometimes it's kinda bad, looking at you temple in the sky), but it felt like it had a lot more creative integrity and heart.

Skyward Sword did not know what it wanted to do with itself, and that shows in it's all over the place pacing. Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom - while good games - feel very bland and generic compared to other games in the series.

there is a concerning school of thought that the video game industry is adopting(aside from the crunch culture which is an issue of it's own). Game devs are proudly announcing that they are prioritizing gameplay over story, implying that the two are mutually exclusive. which feels like an excuse to neglect the writing, and also ignores the fact that the games that are held in critical acclaim are praised for BOTH gameplay and story(bungie's Halo trinity comes to mind, as well as Nintendo's Ocarina of Time)

psa. for my upcoming fic The (im)Perfect Ending

Due to a family emergency, I have to postpone the posting date for my Joon's fic until next week (I have to be away this weekend and I haven't really finished the final scene yet). Should I release a teaser until then or should we just continue the wip ask game so I can just drop some random snippets here and there from the upcoming fic?

ps. The Bedroom Hymns VIII has been scheduled to be posted on Monday, 11 am aest or Sunday, 9 pm est, so we'll still have an update coming :)

Richas taking Roier and Leo to the little coffee area, placing a sign that just says Juntos, before picking coffee and having Roier make it for them. The three of them toasting and drinking, saying good morning, as Richas and Cellbit have done countless times before. A ritual Richas needs to share, one he’s missed. How before now, Cellbit was doing this without Richas, and now they’re all doing this without Cellbit.

#when I saw that little coffee area I started fucking screaming #that’s their area that’s the thing! the morning ritual! bom dia!!! #god I’m sick I’m ill #mcyt #qsmp #q!roier #q!richarlyson #z speaks

2 July, 2023- I have officially been working as a research assistant for a month now! It's been so engaging to work on a book project for a faculty member of mine, and the fact that I get my own office for the summer is just the cherry on top <3.

I genuinely shipped Kataang for the first season and a half of atlab so know that I say this from a place of love for the potential of the ship, even though I have converted to the Zutara bandwagon forevermore lol.

I think it kinda sucks that the majority of discourse surrounding the anti kataang argument boils down to "it's so toxic he's so immature" and "it shouldn't have been cannon Zutara is so much better," these are genuine criticism of the ship(mostly lol), and that's fine, but that's not what i'm here for(we can ignore the male gazy vibes of Katara's ending in the show for now)

it feels like a missed opportunity to talk about the genuine writing flaws in the show in regards to Aang's character development, and how the way Kataang was handled ended up being detrimental for any kind of narrative satisfaction regarding Aang's conclusion.

like aangs character growth is put on hold and then ignored so that kataang could be endgame, I that's genuinely why atlabs ending fell flat for me.

#atlab #kataang #zutara #dia speaks #new atlab show is out so this has been on the mind lol #there's also the added layer to this that katara's characterization kinda flipflops through season one #they did find their groove for her in season two #but season 3 is rough for everyone's characterization let's be real lol #good luck finding those metas btw #i did not know how to tag lol

Listen all's I'm saying is Sydney has so much yandere potential-

No because you're actually so correct.

Headsup for me going insane over Yandere Sydney it's gonna be long and I'm down horrible.

There's just something about Yandere Sydney that just simply - fits.

The corruption scene at the temple is probably what made me start spiraling down into the idea that they'd be such a good candidate for that.

Sweet, loving, kind church boy turned into a loyal and unstable lover? He'd simply forget everything he's ever known because you are now his religion.

He probably worships you 24/7, and he's so good at playing normal like usual. You will never find out how badly you've messed him up to the point of no return.

He's not like Kylar who can't be fucking normal for like five seconds - no, he needs to keep up the pure image because you want him like that, don't you? After all, you love church boys.

You are his angel - his most beloved and dearest savior and despite you are just like the apple of sin, he's more than happy to take a bite for you.

But, corrupted Sydney? There's no shame in holding back.

He doesn't needs to kidnap you or threaten you - he just knows every little spot of you, and all he needs to do is pull your strings to keep you close to him.

Coming back after a traumatic event? He's there with you.

Whitney harassed you after class? He's there with you.

Inviting him to the secret room of the temple? He's there with you.

He's willing to become your savior, just like you are his.

I feel like there are people out there who could benefit from hearing this: Do not let your explanation of why you sin or have bad habits become your excuse to not change. It doesn't matter if it's physical, or mental in nature. It doesn't matter if it's because of trauma, or someone else hurting you. It doesn't matter if you feel like you're too horrible or worthless to even try improving, or like you've already tried everything. It's far too easy to point to outside sources as to why you do what you do, and then sit there as if the case is closed, and there's nothing else to do. It's easier and more convenient than standing up and looking for answers when you feel like you've already done so a million times with no success, and you're hurting from walking for miles. But there's always something you can do. There's always Someone you can go to for both guidance, and for comfort when things seem too hard. All you have to do is sit down, open your Bible, search for answers and comfort, and pray sincerely. You may not get an answer right away. You might need to work on other areas of your life before getting to the current problem. You may improve, but still struggle for years to come. Regardless of any of this, do not give in to despair. Remain persistent. Keep looking. Keep knocking.

Matthew 7:7-11

7 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.

9 “Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? 11 If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!
