#even MORE useless ramble

[bet-on-me-13]

Wes ruins everything

Wes had finally done it, he had finally realized why nobody ever belived him about Fenton and Phantom! It made so much sense now, he had been looking for an answer for years, thinking he was going crazy because everybody refused to see the Obvious!

He was Cursed!

He literally had an Ancestoral Curse on his Bloodline that made it so that all those born with the gift of Prophecy would be ignored! A Gift of Prophecy that he apparently had.

It was Cassandra's Curse, the one from Greek Myths. Apparently she was his Great×1000 Grandmother and passed down the Gift (and Curse) of Prophecy to him. And he knew how to break it!

All he needed to do was gather the right resources, chant the correct incantations, make sure not to accidentally summon a Demon in the process, and he could just foist the Curse onto some other poor schmuck. Sure it would suck for them, and he would loose his Gift of Prophecy, but Wes had been ignored for Years at this point, he needed validation!

So he did the Ritual, and he didn't mess it up, and he managed to get rid of the Curse.

Now all he had to do was convince everybody that he was right for the first time in his life! This was going to be great!

...

Cass didn't know what was going on.

A while ago, she had started getting these...gut feelings that she couldn't explain.

She would look over the details of a Case her Family was working on, and see a patern that the others were seemingly ignoring. Like when she realized that The Penguin was about to raid the Docks on the East Side, but the others were convinced it was going to be on the West.

But when she had tried to tell them, they had brushed her off. "We've already concluded that he will begin the Raid on the West side, no need to go to the East."

She had gone anyways, and low and behold she had been right. But nobody even acknowledged that she had been right at all, they had just wondered how they had missed the signs, not even questioning how she had known.

It wasn't limited to Cases either. Even small things, like telling her brother's where the TV remote was were brushed off, and hours later they would still be looking, never even having checked where she told them.

It seemed that no matter what, nobody cared about her point of view anymore. They kept brushing her off, telling her she was wrong, actively ignoring her ideas.

And it was getting worse. They were starting to ignore her more and more, forgetting she was in the room, not calling her down for Dinner, even forgetting to check in on her during Patrol.

She knew that there must be something going on, Magical or otherwise, but when she tried bringing it up with her Dad or JLD, they would also Brush her off.

Her Family was forgetting her. And they didn't even realize it.

...

Danny was not okay at the moment.

When he had gone to school a few weeks ago and noticed everybody staring at him, he didn't give it much thought. Maybe Dash or Paulina had spread another Rumor about him again, not too out of the ordinary.

When his name had been called over the Intercom, he hadn't thought much of that either. His grades were falling even more than usual, so he assumed his Guidance Counselor wanted to have another talk with him.

When he walked into the Principals Office to see both of his Parents and some GIW Agents, that's when he realized something big must have happened.

He didn't have much of a chance to react when the Shields went up, but he did react when the first Ecto-Blast scorched the wall behind him. His Parents began to scream at him as they fired their Blasters, something about replacing somebody? He didn't know, he was pretty preoccupied at the moment.

It took more effort than he cared to admit to escape the Room, but a stray shot to the hidden Shield Projector under the Principals Desk proved to be his saving grace. Unfortunately the moment he escaped the Office, he was met with a veritable Army of GIW Agents, all armed to the Teeth with Weapons he had never even seen before.

He managed to get away for a moment, hiding in the Bathroom as the Agents chasing him passed it by. That's when he met Wes.

He obviously hadn't been expecting him, but the moment he saw him Wes put on a smug look. "Oh hi Fenton, trying to get away from the other students?"

Danny had replied with confusion, "What the hell are you talking about?!"

"I finally managed to convince everybody about you, now everyone knows that you're Phantom! I'll bet you're hiding from all of the other Students hounding you for questions right?"

"...it was you?"

"Yeah, so? I finally get to be right!"

"...You absolute MORON-"

That was the last Danny got to say to Wes before an Ecto-Blast launched him through a Wall, seeing his face morph into a look of Shock just before the dust cloud covered it up.

Since that day, Danny had been on the Run. Nowhere was safe anymore now that the GIW knew both his Human and Ghost's faces, but he had to keep running. He crossed state Lines already, and was on his way to the next Ecto-Rich City he could sense, somewhere in New Jersey.

He cursed his Fenton Luck every day. Why had everybody believed Wes this time?! Nobody had ever belived him before, nobody even seemed to acknowledge his existence after a while! What had changed?

Danny just wanted to rest already.

...

Cass had taken to Patrolling alone recently. She had taken to doing a lot of things alone, actually.

After the first month, it seemed that nobody could remember that she was in the room with them, even if she was within their eyeline, she just faded into the background. By the 2 Month Mark they had stopped talking to her entirely, although occasionally she would get a Text or two from her dad. By the 3 month Mark she was completely invisible, and By the 5th she had been forced to get used to it.

She didn't know what was going on, was it a Meta Ability? Magic? Alien Tech? She had no idea.

She had begun to cook for herself after the first time Alfred forgot to set her Plate at the Table. The same with Washing her own Clothes, Cleaning her Room, and Paying her Phone Bills. At the very least the Automated Allowance Payments to her Account had kept up, or she wouldn't have been able to go to her favorite Cafe anymore.

It was bittersweet for her. She used to go to that Cafe every week with Alfred, but he didn't even come on his own anymore. Had he only come for her? Did she really mean that much to them? It hurt, she finally had a family that cared for her and suddenly she didn't exist to them.

She sat alone at a Table, ignored by everyone in the Cafe as usual, when a new face walked in. He looked about her age, a little roughed up, walking with a sort of cautious gaint, as if he was scared of something. His Body Language seemed to agree with her assessment, as his body practically screamed "Worry" in its movements.

Cass stopped watching at that point. Just another Gotham Teen, probably worried over something like getting not having enough money or getting mugged on the way home. It was a Common sight in Gotham.

She attention was pricked again for a moment when she heard a voice speak up. "Uh, can I sit here?"

She ignored it, he wasn't talking to her.

"Um, excuse me? Miss? Could I sit here?" He repeated.

She ignored him again, he wasn't talking to her. Nobody talked to her.

"Hello? Do you have Earbuds in?" He said, and he waved his hand in front of her face.

Her face. He waved his hand. In front of Her Face.

He was talking to her.

She looked up at him sharply, seeming to startle him for a moment before he asked, "So, is that a no?"

"You can see me?" She asked.

He looked a bit bewildered, but replied "Uh, yeah? Why would I not? Are you...a Ghost?". That last part sounded a bit suspicious.

"No. Not a Ghost. But nobody sees me. Ever. Nobody remembers me." She replied. She had never spoken this much to anybody outside of her Family, but in the past few weeks she had been starved for interaction.

He seemed slightly interested, and sat down at her table. He looked her in the eyes, and said "Do you...talk about it?"

She smiled. He could see her.

me: been a while since i made some fluffy g/t ocs, i should do that

the little mouse who runs in circles in my brain and talks endlessly about g/t: oh no

me: you took the fluff and turned it into a fucked up enemies to devoted lovers dynamic, didn’t you

my little brain mouse: oh yes

#g/t #giant tiny #lately ive been thinking about devotion without love #like being sworn to serve or guard someone who you fucking HAAAAATE #but you both gotta deal with it bc thats whatever that situation is. its such a good character dynamic #now add size to that #does the devoted shrink? leaving them useless in the hands of their now giant charge? #or does the charge shrink? leaving the devoted to care even more tenderly for the person they hate but are still sworn to #or a secret third thing that im gonna do for my new ocs :) #i realized i dont share oc stuff like i need to i need to talk about my ocs more. share my art #so if these ocs become a Thing then expect to see more of me rambling abt them

A list of ways they could have ended the Hamster and Gretel season finale that would have been better than whatever the hell that was:

Gretel reveals herself to Hiromi to help explain to her why Kevin constantly has to dip (Hiromi has proven herself trustworthy several times at this point there is literally no risk to telling her)

Kevin and Gretel have an actual heart to heart where they talk out why they're frustrated with each other

Gretel reads Kevin the speech she literally wrote for him

Some kind of flash back to the twins where we see Lauren starting to doubt the whole "supervillain" thing

I get it's a "kids show" but kids shows still deserve actually good writing and plot and this just. Wasn't it. The open ending was TOO open ended. Leaving the failed date for next season? Sure. Leaving the potential redemption arc for the villain next season? Yeah okay.

Wiping away the brother and sister tension with a throwaway scene and no follow up? Come on. And ending with the stupid aliens teasing next season, then crushing Kevin further with how he wasn't supposed to get powers, and finishing out the whole season with what literally is just a, "That's rough buddy?"

Yeesh.

#kevin has a catu level meltdown coming and i for one hope he actually gets it #hng #hamster and gretel #i also struggle bc like.....gretel is roughly the age of phineas and ferb. if not a little bit younger #but youre telling me that she WOULDN'T feel bad if kevin actually told her how he was feeling? #if you're gonna make another sibling show that specifically revolves around siblings can you like. #idk make me care about them AS siblings? #tell me how with no episodic continuity phineas and ferb and candace still have a more well rounded sibling relationship #in just the first season of the show #and theres actually a STORY LINE to HnG and theyre still having the same sibling problems they did at the very beginning of the show #Kevin still feels left out and useless and Gretel still doesnt get that despite it being brought up 100 times #idk do better that was a shitty season finale it didnt even feel like a finale #this is far too many tags for me to be rambling about a childrens show #also the opening scene? was redundant. its already been shown in the show a thousand times that Kevin would do anything for Gretel

building in the sims really does make you understand how you get nonsensical floorplans in real life.

because you end up in situations where youre like oh my god this is the perfect floorpla-... okay is it weird if the door to balcony in the bathroom? or when you find a perfect configuration of rooms but oops where do i put the doors? how bad is it if you have to go through the bathroom to get to the bedroom?

big squares are the worst to floorplan because where do you start? where do i put stairs? where does a kitchen make sense? why did i put windows there?

#kai rambles #the sims #the sims 4 #floorplan #the sims building #for context #ive built like a small apartment complex thingy #because for rent came out #its two buildings #one has two apartments and is fully furnished #and the second has the other four and i built it from the exterior first interior second #and now i have big squares to make logical apartments out of #im somehow having more problems with the middle two even though the other two had floor to ceiling windows everywhere #at the front i have this stupid 4x1 sticky out bit in the middle with a big ass window #its making my life hell #also the balconies #why did i make them #theyre 1x3 #theyre useless balconies #i did this to myself #especially because each pair of apartments are mirrors of each other so i like the idea of putting the same kitchens in the same places in #each pair because that makes sense #but its killing me

losing my mind at the thought of astarion making mercy food once and mercy eats it without complaint, but he just finds them passed out on the floor in a puddle of vomit from an incredibly bad case of food poisoning

#bat rambles #mercy #i like the idea of durge being useless in some ways to be more reliant on sceleritas and what support the church would offer when #durge finds their way to the church #and mercy would be able to make like #edible food but not necessarily good food #and even astarion is appalled by what they will put together when they are low on ingredients and spoons #like he just sees it cooking and is like *gags* #so he is like i've seen what you eat there is NO way what i make can be any worse #*narrator* it was significantly worse than anything you have ever made in your entire unholy life

Gripped by an intense terror that my computer may have decided to die forever before I could rescue my writing

#I'm honestly so fucking thankful if I at least got my D&D folder out in time because it's so full of things that are old and important to me #but I'm cursing myself for not being smarter prioritizing what I was moving and working on a bunch of useless other junk #false complacency that the laptop was behaving okay for a while as if it couldn't go downhill very very quickly. #I suspect my references and screenshots are just going to be a lost cause even if I save the writing #feeling very floaty about it right now. years of work. #so so much work of so many different kinds #rambling #this is what I get not being more regular backing my shit up. #kinda funny for it to happen after I woke up wanting to write though huh

WHAT CHESS PIECE REPRESENTS YOU?

A BLACK PAWN. You are a black pawn. Don't let the pawn be misleading, this means you're full of potential. Being the pawn, you're one of two pieces that can move first. But since you're black, you're always one step behind white. Who is it that you're trying to catch up to so badly? Black doesn't always mean you have to be in someone else's shadow. If anything, it means that you can be one step ahead of them, hiding intelligence that no one would consider you even have. Be careful how you use this information because alone a pawn is easy to fall, but too smothered and you won't be able to move. Regardless, you'll become a force of nature by the end of your journey. What would you sacrifice along the way is, perhaps, a better question than what will you become at the end.

#our dearest and most damnable charlotte. #ofc it is the black pawn it was NEVER gonna be anything BUT the black pawn #the duality of being on the front lines but also having to be on the back foot from the start #while these sort of chess symbolism things like to focus on how the pawn can promote (usually to a queen) if it reaches the other side... #I feel like that really misses the point of how ANNOYING pawns can be throughout the game even when they aren't threatening promotion #the focus on promotion makes it seem like /besides/ that single “power” the pawn is 100% useless #when really.. the pawn is crucial in almost every (?) aspect of the game despite being taken for granted #it's one of those things where... you don't notice how important it is UNTIL it's gone u know? #like you don't realize just how bad your position is until mid-game you see how shit your pawn structure is compared to your opponents #and having that shit structure or being 1-2 pawns down suddenly are huge problems for you to have to contend w for the rest of the game #but I digress; what I'm trying to get at is that pawns can be unassuming yet so dangerous in that way.. just like Char #another point I'll make is the fact that pawns (being the first pieces played) are the subject of gambit openings #you gambit/sacrifice a pawn in the beginning in exchange for (usually) a positional advantage early in the game #this pawn can usually be won back later if all goes well #but the sort of inherent ... expendable quality of the pawn? is very much a Char narrative theme 😔 #there's more... but I'm going to spruce up the chess meta I have for Char now bc really... it was inevitable #don't mind me rambling and rambling this is what happens when you place me in proximity to chess <3

WHY YELLOW?

I had ready a big post with all the screenshots of lyrics and stuff, but I guess I don't need to convince anyone anymore... bc it's true dndjdn

But truly!! Go back and read the lyrics again, one by one, just like the team for the concept art did. What did you notice?

>>>> how many times the word 'light' comes up? Or something that it's related to light, like the sun or lightning? (and i mean 'lux' is light in latin, two songs in one album with the word light in the title)

And it's a different light from previous albums, it's not the light from a halo who is on fire. Well, maybe it would be more accurate to say that it's the same light as before but... In a different phase.

Maybe you can still fear the light, it still feels dangerous, BUT in the end... You turn it on. And if there is still darkness, even with the light on... Then it's okay, accept me, lean on me! (did you see what I did there?)

As you can see, the black is still very well there, there is no mention of light in 72s (the song) if not for black light, it's midnight. This is the inciting incident, the cradle, the explosion that charred the object around us. And the object and the cradle itself... cast shadows. But the light is surrounding everything, right in the center, AND IT'S WARM, not white but yellow.

haven't watched shadowside or played 4 but ngl it feels kinda pointless for summer and tate to be nate and katie's kids when nate can't even see yo-kai anymore in it and seemingly never brings that fact up-

#puppy rambles #yo-kai watch #yw4 #<- kind of #also nate and katie literally have no romantic chemistry in canon i know it was always endgame but like #why did they never actually give them anything. the crush always seems to be one-sided- #i honestly can't see them as anything more than friends and that's not just cuz of me liking other ships for them #they just. don't have any actual chemistry. nate has a crush on katie and that's literally it #there's never anything that implies katie has a crush on nate. even in the games. it's so weird #i'm sure i'd enjoy shadowside and 4 if i watched/played them but like. there's just so much weird stuff in the future era #like. whatever the fuck is going on in y-school heroes. i don't even try to figure out what that's about anymore #all i know is that future human jibanyan (jiba jinpei or something???) is apparently amy's grandson #which is neat i guess #idk i mean. there's a reason i just see the games as a trilogy #i just think it'd be more interesting if even if you do have nate not have a watch/be friends with jibbers and whisper as an adult #for him to at least bring it up??? at somepoint??? #because otherwise it just feels completely useless to have summer and tate be nate's kids- #side note but i honestly don't blame people for not using the english names for shadowside characters tate is a terrible name #do you think his full name's tathan- #like. i feel like there's probably a better english name they could've used to continue the naming scheme- #but nope. tate. what kind of name is that #shadowside is so baffling to me-

One of the older women I sometimes sit with at the synagogue this morning apparently has ten relatives who are apparently missing. The rabbi said she thinks they might be hostages. Her mother died a month ago. The other woman I sit with always stands for the mourners Kaddish, and when I saw them last they were holding hands

#personal #i just. I don’t know how to hold the suffering of this community. In my brain. I want to convert. I feel safe and happy when I’m with them #But god if I don’t feel so young and useless talking with them these days. #I can’t even give them the understanding bc I’m a gentile. I don’t know the issues like they do. I can’t even say the prayers right #They like to tease me for mumbling my way through the hebrew prayers. It’s my Midwestern accent to them #delete later #dont rb. I just. Man. #I couldn’t stay for Torah service today. I was rattled by the prayer and I needed to do stuff today. #It feels so childish to wish for peace and it feels so hypocritical to want a world without violence when I’m such an angry person myself #But how am I supposed to feel when a woman who sent me home with a plate of brownies the night I met her bows her head in prayer for the sa #Safety of relatives in a war zone mere weeks after she finishes the mourning prayer for her mother who escaped the holocaust #I am twenty two and not even very good at it. #And every week I sit with a bunch of old women who have more scars than I’ll ever count. #I don’t know. I’m rambling because the fact that having ten relatives missing is just. Unfathomable to me. #When Ukraine got invaded we at least were able to account for my friends family with relatively less trouble. Not that it was better. I sti #Can’t read about Ukraine for more than three minutes #But I could keep the scale in check to stop the worst spirals #I want to be a pacifist. I want to make the world better. But I’m barely keeping myself from drowning just as it is.
