. *. ⋆*ੈ✩‧₊˚ sin's notes: this wasn’t short and sweet, but i hope you all enjoy it. i’m trying to work harder on my dialogue, so there is kinda a lot of dialogue in this (it simply adds to their relationship🫶🏽

you both peer at each other when the clump of red lights became all too real. the car stops, and you both wallow in frustration. you cave first, irritated only because of your lack of patience. somehow, someway geto would have to make up for his sluggish behavior. 

“it’s your fault we’re stuck in traffic you know,” you then extend your lips to your window and turn your head towards the center of the car slightly so you can turn the music up, “if you’d let me do your hair yesterday we would’ve been fine.”

“now we’re super la-”

“shut up.” he retorts. he wraps both of his fists around the wheel and circles them around the diameter of it. his fingers, decorated with a plethora of rings scrape the suede. when they meet at the bottom; his body slumps forward and his forehead bonks the horn. ultimately making it sound off, and forcing the car in front of you to retaliate. beeping theirs twice and throwing up the lovely bird outside their window. 

“you should’ve just done it.” he continued on, ignoring the altercation before.

you turn in your seat, angrily perplexed. first, he cut you off, and second of all, it was to shut you up! over his stupid head of hair? outrageous!

“and how was i supposed to do that, huh big guy?,” you cocked your eyebrow and got in his face quickly. all he saw was a red blob zip across the middle console; he swears he saw little flakes of glitter fall from your eyelids as you shifted. 

“if you weren’t whining and moaning like a bitch yesterday, your hair could’ve been done.” 

“i was not,” he finally looks at you and squints his eyes in disbelief, “maybe grunting, but it’s cause you were hurting me!” 

“i was only parting your hair geto!” your mouth hung open as you stared at him in utter disbelief. 

‘you might wanna move up though’, you tilt your head to the right so he’d see the point five millimeters of space that opened between his hood and the trunk of the other. 

‘ope, thanks bae’

‘anyways’ “it still hurt!” he frowns and rubs soothing circles against his cranium in remembrance of the pain. 

if there was one thing about the two of you, one common similarity that never failed to shine; it was the way you two interacted. both overly animated and always working the other’s nerves. 

“but i was being gentle!” you feign a sniffle and peer at him above the rim of your glasses. “i was being as gentle as possible,” you whine, softly and make a giant heart out of your arms. 

“why would i try and hurt you?” 

“why wouldn’t you?” he smirks and runs his hands through his hair as he lets his left one situate at the bottom left of the steering wheel. he spreads his legs and moves his seat back to get comfy, because even though the content banter keeps him on his toes; he realizes you two would be stuck in this traffic for a while. 

“fuck you,” you suck your teeth and rotate your body away from his. your knees knock against the car door and you slip your hands in between your thighs. he yanks at the red fishnets you have on, so it softly slaps back against your skin — he does it repeatedly. 

“what time?” he coos back, sweetly. he licks his lips with a low gaze as he waits for you to spin back around to- 

“you’re such a child you know that?” you spin around, nearly dizzy from the number of times you’ve refocused your attention. your brain’s practically on its stem knocking against your skull initiating a subtle throb. 

“no, i’m not.” 

“mhm, that’s why you’re on my naughty list.” your lips curl into a smile, and you boop his nose with the tip of your finger. you place your elbow on the center space to get closer to him. naughty list, the fuck?

“you don’t have a naughty list, that’s my job. i’m the one with the santa hat and red tuxedo.” he does have some sort of a valid point. he looks a little goofy with his hat, but it doesn’t hide his handsome face features. his smile is stretched wide across his face, as he levels his face with yours on the console and squeezes your cheek.  

“owwwaa!” you yelp out and rub your cheek. “i-look at you being naughty! i thought santa was supposed to be nice.”

“well his partner is being a bit naughty.” his face inches closer to yours — treading upon dangerous waters. 

“your partner doesn’t agree with that statement.” 

then you move closer.

‘move up again’ 

he shifted his car out of park and lightly tapped the gas to decrease the gap. as quickly as he shifted gears and pulled up; he reversed his actions. ‘thanks’

“mmm, maybe his partner should, considering i can smell the alcohol on their lips.”

now he’s close enough to smell the mix of peppermint and fireball? no, no you have some class. it’s jack daniels — tennessee fire, chased with apple juice and peppermints to rid the smell. along with a pop of peppermint lip gloss. 

“yeah? you know i don’t go to parties sober — ever. i admire you for being able to.” you squeeze his cheeks and let your lips brush against his as your eyes shift to the back seat. then back to him, then down to his crotch, and your stare lingers for too long because he asks— 

“something caught your eye?” he looks to the back seat. “no.” 

he uses two fingers to lift your chin. “you wanna go to the back?” 

“feeling hot? that’s why you’re being slick out the mouth huh?” he squeezes your cheeks and kisses your lips. “n-no.” you stutter. your tongue feels oddly heavy in your mouth. it’s enough to make you slur a few slick remarks under your breath. 

but before you knew it, geto was coaxing you to the back of the car while he drove to the shoulder and flicked on his hazard lights. all while rubbing and patting your ass as you slipped through the tiny slot to the back. anxious and ready to feel some relief. the constant banter and the light thoughts in your brain left you impatient and horny. 

it took a lot more work for him to get to the back. he tried to slip back there with some grace, but he was bumping everything, shaking the car and leaving his santa hat in the front as it slid off from his head dragging along the roof of the car. even the little bit of eco gel he used to slick his hair down was useless as strands stood up and fell along his face on his adventure to the back seat.

“easy peasy.” he gloated as he caught his breath. 

“you’ve got some liner on your cheek… and on the back of your seat.” you laugh innocently, and he uses the back of his hand to wipe the black pigment of his skin. “i wonder why.” he rolled his eyes. 

“i didn’t tell you to kiss me.” you answered back with that usual influx in your tone — as if you were pressed that he did. “i didn’t tell you to look so fucking good either, it looks like we both don’t know how to ask for permission.” he shrugs his shoulders and starts unbuttoning the ruby red of his tuxedo jacket.

“especially you.”

he peers into your eyes with intent — the intent of murder is right on his mind. and his “murderous” intent was always handled sexually. the slant of his eyes makes you burn under his gaze. his eyes are dark and unwavering; scary but inviting. 

“you don’t scare me.” you begin stretching out your legs; chubby extremities, that lead down to chubby feet. you wiggle your toes as your back slips down the door; inching your feet closer to his groin. he obviously wants you to touch him. his legs are spread. one foot is anchored down into the seat, and the other dangles on the ground, because there definitely isn’t enough space for the two of you in the back. 

but for these circumstances, it’s more than enough space. 

your foot finally reaches its goal. during this “staring” contest you rub your foot along the hardening, gift of god, in his pants. your press your foot against his dick, and use your toes to “stroke” it to the best of your ability. he’s trying not to break, but the amount of pressure you're exerting from that little foot of yours — just to give him some pleasure is working. it’s working wonders. 

you’re cracking his attempt at being stoic. you can’t see it, but he’s gritting his teeth. sliding the molars back and forth as if he’s trying to relieve the pain of sore gums. he’s on the stand, trying to plead the fifth, but he fails miserably. his hips buck up, and he grunts a small “shit.”

“what was that, baby.” you gaze with soft eyes. soft, wet eyes, that never fail to make geto wish he had stronger resolve. your head tilts to the side as you try to put your finger on it.

“you’re hearing things,” he replies — stone-faced, but his hands reach out to massage the soles of your feet. geto’s fingers slip and tug at the lacy material, it stretches due to eager fingers. he runs them along the thin black stockings that you wore underneath them, and he fondles what little of your skin he can feel. touching you is his sanctuary. 

“mhm? i can hear just fine, i just can’t see all that well.” you point to the big square frames that settle on the plumpness of your cheeks. 

“but can you unbutton these for me?” you ask so politely and direct his fingers with your toes. you rub at the space that hides the button and zipper that fasten his pants together. it’s straight warmth across your foot as you massage his bulge with your foot.  

“and can you spread your legs for me?” he pleads almost as his fingers work to free himself from his pants. “that’s a simple request.” 

the ruffles of your red mini skirt flip up with ease, and you spread your legs just as he asks. you throw your left leg, up and over the headrest of the back seat, but not before dragging it over his thighs. your foot arches as he catches it in his palms, and caresses the souls of them. he’s careful and his moves have been calculated with the utmost precision. 

he can’t feel the heat pooling in between your thighs, but you can feel how warm it is and the cool air fanning the interior gives you some relief. “it’s a shame, but i’m gonna need to make a little slit in these.” 

he pulls at the fabric once more and moves his body to meet yours in the middle. this interaction requires more effort on suguru’s part, because, like always you make him work for it. even though you want it just as badly. 

truly, you want it more “su… these are my favorite you know.” he’s not listening; were you even talking at this point? just babbling nonsense. he’s inching closer. closer. and closer till his hands are situated in between your legs. the decision he’s considering is whether he should stuff his hands in your stockings, or just rip a perfect little slit, so he can sink a finger inside. 

“there my favorite too, doll.” 

as always the latter wins. it fulfills his fantasy in a better way, a better execution. so he defies you. he gets to splitting the stockings right where nobody can see them, but him. 

when he finally sees skin, he’s losing his composure. stars, hearts, and pearls cloud his vision when he sees the wetness situated between your folds. he separates them with his fingers and slips just one finger between them. from the entrance up to your clit; he’s covering his finger in all that slick. all while maintaining eye contact. entrancing you with his eyes. 

making you squeeze your hands together, and knit your brows when he massages your clit. a smooth ooh, baby — right there you coo. “i know, i know.”  he soothes. 

he blows strands of hair out of his face and licks his lips when he sees your expression. fucked out eyes, and ragged breaths. each whisk of his finger against your clit, forces constricted labored breaths. hazy eyes, and more of your arousal leaks onto his leather seats. 

“you’re so beautiful.” he whispers.

“mmph,” you squeeze your eyes shit when he pushes his finger harder against your clit, “i-thank you.” you sigh. 

“now i need you to do something for me.” he begins. you can barely tell that his lips are moving, but you nod your head and hum a short response. “i want you to play with yourself for me while i help you. can you do that for me?”

“yes.” 

“thank you, baby.” 

once he pulls his finger back, a thick coat of arousal sticks to his fingers. creating a connection that he snips when his tongue wraps around the digit. he lets it settle on his tongue, and gets closer so he can steal a kiss. a simple, slow, lazy kiss that grants you a taste. sweet and simple. you moan into his mouth sucking every bit of you off his tongue. ’s good, honey’

like clockwork, your fingers drop to the mess in between your legs, and suguru indulges in the feeling of his hand and your foot caressing his dick. just a few pumps and he’s stuffing his fingers back inside of you for some lube. taking it and smearing your sweet mess all over his tip. giving himself lazy, slow strokes while your toes parted to compensate for his girth. 

he shuddered from the mesh pattern stroking at the thick vein that bulged from the base of his cock all the way up to his frenulum. it felt heavenly. his adam’s apple bobs with each gulp he takes. the pleasure spirals up to his brain; nearly clouding his thoughts.

“geto, are you gonna tell me what to do?” you reel him back to his senses. 

“yeah-fuck, just one finger first,” he instructed. you listened obediently; rubbing your middle finger innocently between your folds before you sunk it in. slowly, perfectly slow until you stuffed yourself full with it. you squeaked out in pleasure and embarrassment. his eyes bored into the space between your legs. stuck like glue, transfixed on how perfect you looked when you played with yourself. 

but embarrassment flooded your senses. your thighs slowly pressed together in an attempt to shield yourself. geto was aware that at some point your resolve would crumble. you couldn’t take it. mutual anything tore you apart. you tried to focus. you really tried to the best of your abilities. 

yet, seeing the beads of pre cum trickle from his tip made you hot. seeing how tight of a grip he held around his dick made you ache and squeeze around your finger, and here he was planning mutual enjoyment, and you couldn’t tell who was enjoying it more. who was licking their lips more, grunting more? it wasn’t fair how much of you he could see. 

it was geto who was more fixated on the way your fingers drove in and out of your pussy. the squelching and thick drops of arousal that splashed on his seats were rewarding enough. he tuts, squinting his eyes and reaching forward when they hide your cunt from his gaze.

geto’s hand wrap around the plushness of your thighs, “don’t be embarrassed, keep them, open baby. i want to see everything.” his fingers dig into the plush of them, turning the tips white. a smile tugs at his lips when you yelp out in pain. but you feel yourself clench from the simple action of control.   

he took the opportunity to spread them again, and this time he used his dangling foot to hold yours down. leading his foot over your calf and locking it under your thigh — fair restraint. keeping them entangled ensures that you can't snap them close no matter how badly you try. 

“s-sorry.” you muttered. now slightly embarrassed that he crept even closer towards you in this cramped back seat. 

“instead of apologizing why don’t you just make yourself cum. can i see how pretty you look when you cum?” 

his features turn soft. he gazes with soft, pleading eyes and hunches over to run kisses all along your covered thighs. nothing else sounds better than your soft submission of, “yes, i can.” 

“put another finger in, okay?” 

“and go slow, like this-“ he wraps his thumb and index around his cock to show you how he’d like you to do it. he ruts his dick into the circle he forms and glides it through at a snail's pace. “this slow okay,” he points his head towards you; indicating the start of your demonstration, “show me.” 

“slow like this?” you relax around your finger, and slip your ring finger in. “just like that.” he affirms. “good job, baby,” he lifts the foot you had wrapped around the back headrest, and brings it to his face. “match my pace.” he hums. 

he kisses the sole of it, and urges you on; making sure each of your moves punctuates at the same time. quiet affirmations slip off his tongue as he watches you, i love watching you play with your pussy, baby

“thank you, thank you.” you moan 

you know i love it when you're good to me. 

“you ‘bout to cum?” he asks. it’s a question he knows the answer to. instead of fucking yourself with your fingers, you’re rolling your hips against them. panting and groaning for release. going a little bit faster than the pace geto had set for you both. he was waiting for it, because he wanted you to cum first. he was painfully close to his release, a white glob of cum slowly dripped out of his tip, and he bit his lip to hold it in. 

the glob falls on his index finger, and he brings it to your attention. “look at what you did.” he lets go of your leg and reaches out to cradle your head against his. 

“yeah?” you groan. 

your foreheads press together and he circles his index around your clit. he smears his cum over your clit, and applies enough pressure to make your legs shake. he tilts his head further down and drops a fat wad of spit on it, and when he guides it the wet sound increases. sticky and cumbersome; loud like the gentle smacking of puckered lips. 

you draw your head back and let it fall against the car window. your legs twitch and your body slumps against the door, as a deep groan travels up from your chest all the way to your throat. you’d been holding your breath chasing your release, and all you needed to topple over was geto’s help in rubbing it out. 

“you did so well.” he smiles and kisses you all over. your cheeks, nose, and even your sweaty forehead. he moves your underwear back over your pussy and pats it, then he tries to reassemble the stocking and make the slit as invisible as possible. 

he stuffs himself back in pants suit with great difficulty and sets his sights on the driver's seat. his hair is a fucking mess, but he places the santa hat right back on its temple. he gives you a stupid smile from the front seat, but you look gloomy. 

“you didn’t cum.” you pout. 

“it’s okay,” he reaches back to cradle your face, and kisses your plump, tear-stained cheeks. “when we get home, i’ll fuck you just how i please.”  

“so? do we really need to go to this party?” he flips his indicator on and slowly merges into the thinning traffic. 

“well…we’re already late, so we don’t really have to. you lay back in the backseat, and give him a thumbs-up,

“perfect.”

For the longest time I thought the new update in Base Security Breach before Ruin came out did nothing...

But here are highlights:

Vanessa actually chases you instead of summoning animatronics to your location. She chased you before in base game, but they pumped it up to be a LITTLE bit faster.... She is still slower then all the other animatronics though. (Vanessa you're a security guard. work on your glutes)

The animatronics not despawning after Moon shows up for the first time after the Daycare Section is pretty OP honestly. (op for the animatronics, not us) I would try to run past Monty and get to the recharge station without Freddy here just to see how it goes.

When you get the shoe upgrade, Gregory's footstep sound effects are more accurate. Which is hilarious Now you can hear this little gremlin running all over the map.

They shrunk the Blob???? He's at least two sizes smaller and you can walk around and examine all angles of him now. Maybe they changed his size so he could show up as an easter egg for Ruin? Idk

"Press E to skip" isn't on screen anymore during cutscenes the whole time......👏👏👏 Revolutionary.

The Blob/Tangle is more aggressive during the Afton Boss Fight and will spawn in tentacles more frequently.

Afton fight is still skuffed.

You can break Chica before the Pizzatime Mini-game, and she will no longer Scream "Pizza" if she lost her voice box before the quest :(

If you alert Chica when she's eating trash after the Pizzatime Minigame... She will ignore Gregory and go straight back to eating Pizza. hahahah. I like that. Like she priorities eating garbage over hunting Gregory. It's a good little bit of character flavor.

The "Game Over" Static Screen has been dimmed. 👏👏👏 Thank god.... the bright white was hurting my eyes.

But yeah. That's all the little touches found.

I wish Steel Wool had a comprehensive list for this little patch, but it was so minor I can see why they didn't

A FANFICTION?!

Based off of this post from @raylipines ! She drew herself instead of stanley so I’m just saying outright that this is stanley and the narrator, not OP and the narrator. /lh

Also I don’t have a set narrator design yet so we’re using OP’s narrator. <3

Stanley came back with a subtle jolt, his fingers still lightly grazing the glowing button before him.

The room was dark and quiet, and the narrators ranting had stopped.

Stanley blinked slowly, glancing around the room as his eyes adjusted to the darkness. He slowly registered the literal weight he could feel on his shoulders and back, and he realised his shoulder felt wet.

He turned his head to look down at the figure resting against him, the Narrators arms clung tightly around Stanley’s chest, and his head rested against Stanley’s shoulder. He was quiet and still.

Stanley gulped down his shock, he had never seen The Narrator in person before, and he never really tried to imagine what he would look like. Seeing what was practically a black blob resting against him was bound to be slightly shocking.

When he realised that The narrator may be resting, stanley became stiff, his entire body freezing up in an effort to keep still.

And at the realisation that his shoulder was wet, and that the narrator had his face pressed against it, at the realisation that the narrator was probably crying…

Stanley could feel his throat close up.

He had the biggest urge to move away from the button, to step backwards in disgust as he realised how horribly this damned skip button had effected The Narrator. But he couldn’t, not without disturbing The Narrator.

Stanley had already felt uneasy when The Narrator devolved into ranting to himself, never even noticing that Stanley had returned from his trance.

But suddenly being this close, knowing the narrator had cried.

Stanley just felt horrible.

He could do nothing but keep still, in hopes to allow the Narrator a well deserved rest.

Of course, his hopes were put down pretty soon after he thought this as The narrator would groan tiredly, his arms hugging Stanley’s chest slightly tighter. Stanley stayed still.

The Narrator didn’t lift his head, in fact, he pressed his face further into Stanley’s shoulder. Apparently, like the last couple of times, he hadn’t noticed Stanley’s presence.

The narrator let silent tears well up in his eyes, never making a sound.

And Stanley couldn’t bear staying quiet anymore.

[Narrator?] Stanley signed, then mentally hit himself as he remembered that the Narrator had a form now, and was probably no longer omnipotent.

The Narrator stilled as he felt Stanleys shoulders shift while he signed, his arms loosening as he slowly lifted his head. “Stanley? You’re back?” He muttered, his voice sounded weak and worn.

[I’m here.] Stanley nodded mostly to himself, opting to use his internal monologue instead of signing, which sounded quiet, as if he was whispering. How tired the Narrator sounded hurt Stanley, feeling as though his heart had been stabbed.

The Narrator stepped away from Stanley, allowing Stanley to move freely. He took this chance to turn around and look at The Narrators whole form.

Just as expected (now), the narrator was practically just a silhouette with solid yellow glasses. A black blob. It was hard to see him in the dark of the room, but with the subtle glow of the Skip button, Stanley could just barely make out the details.

“Stanley- You were gone for so long.” The narrator choked back his tears, stuttering slightly, which was immensely out of character for him, Stanley noted.

Stanley went back to signing, [I know, I’m sorry.] His head hung low in a dejected manner as his arms drooped.

The narrator stayed quiet, which somewhat scared Stanley. The Narrator was never quiet. Unfortunately.

In fact, this entire situation scared Stanley.

Stanley let the silence linger before lifting his hands again, signing slowly, [Are you okay?]

The narrator suddenly turned his head to stare at Stanley, he hadn’t expected the question. Let alone how sincere Stanley looked.

This entire time Stanley had aimed to practically torture him, what changed?

Then, the Narrator looked down at his form, then back at Stanley, as he felt his face become wet yet again.

Ah.

“Oh- Stanley, this is rather unusual, isn’t it?” The Narrator tried to let out a lighthearted chuckle, but it just made the tears flow faster, making him let out a quiet sob instead. He raised his hand to wipe at his eyes.

Stanley stared on with a worried expression, he was never the best at comforting people, he had no clue what to do. Despite this, he took a step closer to The Narrator.

“I shouldn’t even be down here, Stanley. I’m sorry if I bothered you.” The Narrator continued, not noticing how Stanley was getting closer, until he was abruptly pulled into a hug.

“Oh-“ The Narrator breathed, his voice shaking as he tried to hold back his tears.

[It’s okay. You’d never bother me.] Stanley thought half-sincerely, of course it was very possible for The Narrator to bother him, but not like this.

Never like this.

—————————

After this fic I imagine they stay in the room together for awhile, until one of them (most likely Stanley) accidentally presses the Skip button again. From then on the Narrator sits quietly on the ground, never again speaking or moving.

This is my first time properly posting a fanfic, or even any of my writing, so I’m nervous. Be gentle please 👉👈 /hj

I’m well aware of how out of character this probably is but I yearn for angst

GWatch -- Mobile Suit Gundam 0079 Ep 1

Since Armoured Core came out and everyone's in a mecha mood, I figured I would talk about an entirely different mecha series instead. The plan is to watch one episode a day, talk about it, and include one (or more) screenshots to facilitate enhanced rambling. I want to start with the original series since I've watched it before, see if I can get through it all, and then maybe move onto some other Gundams if I have the spirit.

Beware! Spoilers for a 40 year old anime inbound, as well as possible misreporting since I probably am not going to fact check too well. Gundam nerds may feel free to correct me and dispense wisdom where appropriate. Also, I'm just going to go with whatever name spelling is on the subtitles I have at the time. Sorry, not sorry.

The first thing I have to talk about is the theme song, which honestly gives me emotions. Nowadays, we all have this image of Gundam as basically the show that invented the real robot subgenre, but you would absolutely never get that impression from the theme song or OP. Honestly, go find it and listen to it -- it's actually amazing how widely it misses the tone of the series, with lyrics like "Bring to bear the rage of justice!" and "If you are still burning with furious rage, you must fight the towering foe!" It sounds much, much more like a Super Robot theme song for like Daitarn 3 or Raideen or something, than something you would see associated with a classic "war is hell" series like Gundam.

And this was probably completely intentional. I remember hearing that even as far back as its initial run, the series had to fight the sponsors/toymakers in order to carve out its own identity, and part of that was projecting a surface level impression of a more palatable Super Robot style show. (Some things never change, I guess...)

To me, it adds a lot to the charm, because the singer is obviously going in and doing their best, singing an ode to a giant metal hero of justice who doesn't really exist outside of the fertile imagination of an advertising/toy exec who has been thoroughly mislead. I love that. I just want to go and tell them, hey, I appreciate you, you are singing your heart out on this theme song for an entirely different and imaginary series than the one they've actually made, and you're killing it. You are fighting the good fight, and you may be one of the reasons the series even got off the ground in the first place because you were part of this obfuscation.

This is Amuro Ray. His shadow looms large over every Gundam protagonist that will follow him; many of them either use him as a blueprint for their personality, or are meant as a study in contrast to it. He kills a lot of people. He eats a lot of sandwiches. There are long and intricate scenes of Amuro eating sandwiches, and they are among my favourite scenes in the whole series, and, in fact, any Gundam show I've ever watched. I'm not kidding.

I picked this screenshot not just because it shows a stone-cold, unrepentant sandwich-murderer in his natural habitat, but because it also showcases another thing I love about the show: the goofy animation. This was not a show with a huge budget. There is something weird or goofy happening in every episode, almost every scene, and the first episode -- traditionally one of the best funded in most series -- is no exception. Amuro eats like a turtle. Hayato's hand is an amorphous, misshapen blob. I think it honestly adds to the charm; the series is scuffed, and probably knows it's scuffed, but it's doing its best to tell a story in spite of that.

For now, Amuro is not the pilot of legend. He sits around the house doing science in his underwear, his neighbours don't like him enough to tell him about an actual military evacuation that he's supposed to be undertaking, and without the aid of his childhood friend Fraw Bow (who he mostly summarily ignores), he wouldn't bother to evacuate at all and would likely die at home. He's a scrunkly kind of dude. Maybe even a scrunklemeister. Your boy probably smells like a scratch and sniff card if you rubbed off all the panels and tried snorting them all at once.

The show is surprisingly quick at characterising him, too. Within a minute or two, we know all the above, plus that he seems to have a certain amount of tension with his father, who his neighbours blame for bringing the military to their peaceful colony. His father, Tem Ray, loves him at least enough to put a picture of him on his desk, and makes vaguely prophetic statements about how kids as young as Amuro are already joining the war as guerrilla fighters. Foreshadowing hit different in the eighties.

One scene I didn't actually remember, but really should have in retrospect, is the part where Amuro confronts his father ("Do you care more about Mobile Suits than humans?" is the absolute first thing Amuro says to him), and the death of Fraw Bow's mother and grandfather, both of which expose a more sensitive core to the scrunklebeast within. It's very convenient/poetic (delete as appropriate) that Fraw Bow was herself very nearly caught in the explosion that killed the crowd her family was in, and only survived because she separated from them in order to check on Amuro.

I was also kinda surprised to relearn that Amuro doesn't really 'fall in' to the cockpit; he very deliberately gets in, having happened to read the manual earlier, in an effort to either protect the remaining civilians or take revenge for the ones who've just fallen (the context doesn't really make it clear which one, but he rushes to the cockpit soon after Fraw Bow sees her family die and is making her escape).

One thing that's really interesting in the metacontext of the series is that although Amuro ends up being one of the best pilots (he's a legend in mecha anime for a reason), he kinda starts out as one of the worst. Many Gundam protags are either experienced, have some level of training, or have other reasons why they're hot shit right out of the box; Amuro really does not know what he's doing, and is carried entirely by the fact that the Gundam itself is dizzyingly durable for the time period. It also comes with a learning computer (which I bet sounded very advanced in the time the anime was made, but kinda brings certain chatbots to mind in the present day) to ease the piloting burden while he learns how to use the dang thing. Not only that, but he goes up against a lot of mobbers who aren't that much better than he is and can't do much against his much better machine.

(A really interesting experiment is to contrast Kira from SeeD, which follows a lot of the original Gundam's major story beats quite closely for the first part of the series and is almost a spiritual remake in some parts. Kira almost has the opposite end of the equation going on -- a very good pilot from day one, he has the misfortune of having five other named dudes who are close to his level and have machines that are arguably better than his in a vacuum, and he fights them pretty regularly.)

Anyway, through more luck than skill, Amuro manages to get through his first Mobile Suit battle in Side 7, but Bright is already looking to utilise him as labour, and Char is advancing on the colony. That's the first episode, more tomorrow. (I don't intend these to be exhaustive or talk about every little, but I wanted to go a bit more in depth for the first ep, and I don't want to restrict myself from veering off on tangents because those are fun.)

#mobile suit gundam #gundam '79 #anime blogging #idk #felt like a fun thing to do #there's a whole other conversation about Gundam's meta eternal recurrence #and whether it's a play on war never changing #or just laziness for reusing the same plot all the time #probably a bit of both #it's very FromSoft come to think of it #there's your armoured core 6 segue right there #screenshots #Gwatch

Restless Rewatch: The Untamed, Episode 32 part two

(Masterpost) (Pinboard)

Warning! Spoilers for All 50 Episodes!

Showtime

Now that someone has tried to kill Wei Wuxian -- and died, in a rapid demonstration of logical consequences -- it’s time for the flute portion of Wei Wuxian’s balance beam routine.

The assembled cultivators rush forward to take up battle positions on the stairs,  while literally every single clan leader just stands there looking upset. These guys clearly did not avail themselves of leadership training when it was offered in sect leader school.

Wei Wuxian, who is still like 50 yards away from the nearest opponent since they’ve all forgotten they can fly up to get him, laughs at them and starts playing Chenqing. 

He seems cheerful and confident here; not like a guy who has lost nearly everything, but that’s just how despair looks on him. Always a smiling face.

(more behind the cut!)

The lack of gruesomeness in most of this fight makes it look like nobody is dying, but Wei Wuxian freely admits, much later in the story, to killing a lot of people here. So I think we should read this black smoke as lethal to most of the cultivators it touches.

The resentment smoke attacks everyone at once, making no distinction between righteous warriors...

...and douchebags.

But the smoke blobs carefully avoid harming any of the Jiangs, even having a nice little Abyss-water-tentacle moment with Jiang Cheng.  

Note that the Jiangs are the only ones in the battle who get into a formation when they’re attacked, rather than running around wildly. Well done, Jiang Cheng. 

The whole time this is happening Wei Wuxian is just chilling, playing his flute, not having any trouble with it, not getting tired, and nobody is coming for him at all. They need to put up a tank like Nie Mingjue to draw his attacks and then send a couple of high DPS (damage-per-second) fighters in after Wie Wuxian, but they have zero tactics, so they don't.

Boss Fight

Did I say high DPS? Here comes Hanguang-Jun, the only one of these fuckers with the stones to take on Wei Wuxian directly. [OP is speaking of metaphorical stones; don’t feel insulted if you lack literal gonads. OP’s ovaries were surgically sent back to hell where they came from, 9 happy years ago]

Lan Wangji floats in from the sky and lands on the roof, guqin primed and ready. Wei Wuxian gives him a look so sexy that a weaker man would drop dead on the spot. 

Wei Wuxian tells Lan Wangji that his little tunes aren’t going to work on him, so Lan Wangji pissily puts away his guqin. While it’s true that “Rest” won’t work on Wei Wuxian, chord assassination sure would, Lan Wangji. Maybe don’t put your weapon away so quickly next time. 

There’s an interesting thread of antagonism in their relationship that is part of their bond; they each crave a strong opponent and enjoy wielding power. Presumably once they get together this will get sublimated into, you know, fucking. But right now it’s fully unsublimated, at least on Wei Wuxian’s side, and he tells Lan Wangji it’s time for them to have a real fight. 

Wei Wuxian starts fluting and Lan Wangji draws Bichen and comes after him. 

This fight is full of strong emotion and intensity, which makes it easy to overlook a surprising thing about it, which is that Hanguang-Jun is getting his ass kicked.  Bichen can’t get through the shield of resentful energy that Wei Wuxian puts up,  and pretty quickly Lan Wangji is driven all the way back across the roof.

We know, of course, that Wei Wuxian can’t keep this up for too long without fainting, and Lan Wangji knows it too, but until that happens, he’s at a disadvantage, with the attacks coming as fast as he can handle. Chord assassination would probably work better in this situation, but without a pause button he can’t switch weapons mid-skirmish. 

What he does have, though, is Wei Wuxian’s trust. Even if it feels to Wei Wuxian like they’re enemies now, he knows Lan Wangji isn’t going to lie to him or try to trick him. So when Lan Wangji asks him to stop so they can talk, he stops. Lan Wangji is about to explain things--explain about A-Yuan, presumably--when Jiang Yanli arrives on the battlefield. 

*deep breath* ...How far away is Lanling from Qishan? Who is feeding the baby? Did her veil seriously stay on all the way here, only to fall off as soon as she arrived? How did the Jin guards and servants etc let her leave? Why didn’t some of them come with her? Why aren’t some of them guarding her now? 

Invisible Sister

What follows is an extremely irritating sequence in which Wei Wuxian, Jiang Yanli, and Jiang Cheng run around the exact same part of the plaza looking for each other. The only reason they don’t meet up instantly is that they are not being filmed at the same time. 

Episode 22 gave us this birds-eye view of the set, so we can see how everything is laid out. See how there is only one flight of stairs? Only one?  Here’s Jiang Yanli running up the center of the plaza toward the stairs, looking for Wei Wuxian.

Wei Wuxian flies down, lands at the bottom of the same stairs, and looks around yelling for her, unable to see her even when he moves forward into the plaza. 

Here’s Jiang Cheng, standing in the plaza with the stairs behind him, in basically the exact same spot as his siblings, unable to see either of them.

The rest of the sequence goes like this, with the background and camera direction changing whenever it feels like it, with no regard for the actual positions of the characters, and the Yunmeng trio yelling for each other about 100 times. 

While this is going on, Su She boots up his own flute and takes control of the resentment tentacles.  Su She is surprisingly talented for someone who got his sword eaten by rag mops back in episode 5. 

Su She starts turning cultivators into zombies (”kuilei” 傀儡, officially), which is meaner than just killing them with smoke tentacles like Wei Wuxian was doing. 

Wei Wuxian looks around while standing in the exact same spot as his sister and realizes that he’s not in control any more. 

Fortunately, when the zombies and/or live cultivators come to attack Wei Wuxian, they are knocked back by a sword-energy-blast from Bichen, and Lan Wangji flies in to defend him. 

Lan Wangji, so switchy. In battle, I mean. Switching sides. That kind of switchy. 

Eventually Jiang Yanli gets slashed in the back by a zombie dude, moments after she becomes clearly visible to her brothers. Here she is in the middle of the fucking plaza right in front of the fucking stairs.  

The thing is, when you’re looking at a film your mind is registering everything in the frame, whether you’re consciously paying attention to those details or not. So when those details are inconsistent, when camera direction changes arbitrarily, when characters switch positions on set, it all has the effect of breaking your immersion in the scene. This entire sequence is, for me, robbed of its emotional impact, because every time those stairs appear it reminds me that everyone is just pretending to be far away from each other.  

Anyhoo. Lan Wangji has come to Wei Wuxian’s side to try to make him stop the madness; they have a quick, very toothy, interaction and then Wei Wuxian throws Lan Wangji off so he can go to his sister. 

Now we have a whole other kind of questionable camera work, as this very emotional scene alternates between beautifully shot, heartfelt closeups...

and this weird-as-hell wide-angle shot of the trio with the battle comped in behind them. This has so much lens distortion, Jiang Yanli’s hand in the foreground is bigger than Jiang Cheng’s head. What. The. Fuck.

Jiang Cheng yells at Wei Wuxian for losing control, and Wei Wuxian freaks out because he doesn’t understand how this is happening. 

Jiang Yanli came all this way to talk to Wei Wuxian, and even though she’s injured and freshly widowed and in the middle of a battlefield, she still just wants to check in with him and make sure he’s ok and stuff. Girl, we need to talk about your priorities.

Unfortunately, since this battlefield is populated almost entirely with people who want to kill Wei Wuxian, one of them tries to kill Wei Wuxian.

Jiang Yanli pushes him out of the way and gets stabbed in the heart, and falls dead in Jiang Cheng’s arms. 

The voice actor for Wei Wuxian is terrific, but is not nearly as good at screaming as Xiao Zhan is. And they have him scream a long extended scream that sort of cracks in the middle. And they break the amazing closeup shot of Wei Wuxian screaming right at the apex of his scream and splice a chunk of the terrible distorted wide-angle shot into the middle of it. 

I’m so mad at the editing choices for this moment. If you’re going to sacrifice a female character to further the emotional journey of the male protagonist, at least make sure you don’t edit the emotional impact out of the scene. Let us feel what the characters are feeling, without creating weird artificial distance like this. It’s the least you can do to honor her sacrifice. 

To ease my frustration I swapped out the audio on the closeup clips for Xiao Zhan’s own voice, from the Tencent BTS video of the scene. Video here if you want to feel extra upset. 

Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng are both extra upset. Jiang Cheng is so shocked and sorrowful that he isn’t even angry...yet.

Wei Wuxian, on the other hand, is extra super duper angry.

Killer-guy tries to justify himself by saying he was trying to avenge his brother. Is that supposed to stop Wei Wuxian from avenging his sister, dumbass?

Wei Wuxian uses a Wen Ruohan-style move to jerk Yanli’s killer through the air into his hand, then chokes him to death, then flings him away, where he lands on the ground and spits up a bunch of blood. 

This actor just ejected liquid from his mouth directly into his nostrils and then did NOT ruin the shot by jumping up and yelling “oh gross ew my nose ew ew ew!” Amazing.

Games Like Sinister | Gameplay

The only reason I picked Doom 2 over Ultimate Doom is that I prefer it; better level design, more enemies, generally more fun. The link here is obvious; you move through levels trying to reach the end, fighting off demons as you do so. The game is 2.5D, which may seem confusing, and it is. Essentially, there's no up - floors can't be placed on top of each other, but it gives the illusion of height. The basic idea of exploring an abstract underworld filled with two-dimensional monsters is what Sinister is entirely based on, and I'll probably add limited combat, but not on the gratuitous level of Doom.

Pathways Into Darkness is a classic 90s dungeon crawler akin to Ultima Underworld, but slightly more obscure as it was released for the Mac and the Mac only. The story is bizarre; a gigantic god-like entity is asleep under the earth, and its dreams are causing a massive temple to manifest in the jungle. You're part of a spec ops team sent into the temple, to drop a nuke in its lowest chamber and pacify the being before it wakes up - as this would cause the end of days. It connects to the Marathon series as well, but that's not important right now. Having a game focused on exploration and combat, but also being set within a dead god's dream is very in line with my idea for Sinister. The game is also quite surreal with its enemies; from lumbering blob-men with mouths in their chests to goofy walrus-like floating creatures to reanimated skeletons, who throw bones at you.

Penumbra was essentially a tech demo for Amnesia: The Dark Descent. It follows Philip, a physicist who enters a desolate bunker in Greenland to find his father. Inside, you must solve puzzles using the proprietary physics engine, and occasionally avoid enemies; namely, rabid dogs. There is combat in Penumbra, but it is discouraged, and there are many ways of getting around enemies. You could sneak by them, you could run, you could bait them with meat or distract them with a flare. You could throw explosives (a quick but costly kill) or use physics objects to slow their pursuit. You could even lure them into an enclosed area and trap them, or use environmental obstacles to kill them without your input. It's an interesting angle of immersion that I haven't seen much; so many immersive sims will give you all sorts of weapons and gizmos and character upgrades for dealing with enemies in unique ways, but these usually boil down to a fancy way of killing them that isn't just shooting them in the face. This idea of discouraged but viable combat is what I want to replicate.

Prey 2006 is pretty obscure (mostly due to Prey 2017 making it impossible to search for, and it's removed from Steam) but quite interesting. You play as a Native American guy named Tommy, who gets abducted by aliens, and has to fight through their massive bio-organic ship to save his girlfriend Jen. The game uses seamless portals, one year before Portal, as well as loads of interesting tricks like non-Euclidian level geometry and alterable gravity (such as walking on walls and ceilings). It's really cool. The relevant thing for my game is that Tommy canonically dies within the first hour. After this, he's taken to a spirit world by his grandfather, where he gains spirit-walking powers and a ghost of his childhood pet, a hawk named Talon. When you die again in-game, you're taken back to the spirit world, to battle the "dishonored dead" and regain your health and spirit power. I really like games that deal with death in a canon sense - instead of restarting at a checkpoint, your character has legitimately died and returned to life. I want to explain respawning in Sinister in a similar way; you're in the afterlife, so technically, you're already dead.

Pathologic is a game I can't say enough good things about. It's a mega-obscure Russian game, about (in simple terms) a strange town, a string of murders, and a plague. You have twelve days to explore the town, uncover its mysteries, save your Bound (a group of people who are connected by fate) and save yourself. You'll have to make tough decisions, scavenge for supplies, learn the town's esoteric customs, and all while discovering the secrets of the Sand Plague. When I was first deciding what I wanted the project to be about, Pathologic was my main inspiration for the key themes: "Exploration in an unfamiliar world". The gameplay is primarily walking about, but you will occasionally get into combat. Stakes are very high in the game, and so you are encouraged to run and hide in buildings just as much as you are encouraged to fight. This more visceral and realistic approach to combat rather than just "shoot the bad men" is another thing I want to replicate in Sinister.

Watched the fourth episode of LEGO DreamZzz: LOVE IT!

The Youtube LEGO channel waited a couple of days before putting the third episodes, while this one came out right on the next day! Why though?... does it sound like I'm complaining? BECAUSE I'M NOT!!! 😍

THE DREAM FORGE

Heeeeeyyy, the thumbnail is showing Zoey! Are we finally getting a visual on her?

When I heard of the concept for this show I was kinda scared that for being a dream world it wasn't going to show much creativity... but the turtle burrito truck is making me change my mind 😅😅

Welp, Logan is still pretty much a jerk to Mateo 🤷🏻‍♀️ Honestly I prefer this over not talking about how they were super at odds at the very beginning

If you give me a Clay and Lance from Nexo Knights situation I'll be happy 🤍💙🤍💙

Still calm down sweetie 😅

Logan the barbarian, okay buddy 🤣 Considering his "ancestor" was a ninja master of fire, it seems appropriate 🔥

Okay, you can't give a griffin like creature with an owl face and expect me to be normal about it, that's my favourite mythical creature and my favourite animal mixed together LOOK AT THEM GO SO GORGEOUS 😍😍😍😍

ZIAN IS THE NAME LOVE IT 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Oh yeah Zoey got that rewind clock thing, I saw that before... that looks super OP, are we gonna talk about it?

I did not expect Izzie to be the first to confront Zoey and honestly? SO HAPPY. I don't know if Zoey will actually end up being Mateo's love interest, but presenting her on a separate stance makes me see her as her own character first

WITH A KILLER DESIGN AGAIN I MIGHT DIE FROM AN ARCHER AND SAY THANKS THAT'S HOW MUCH I LOVE THEM 😍

"Who says I'm pretending?" Okay I love her

Logan I really like you, you got plenty of potential and you're voiced by Vince which is a plus... BUT STOP BERATING MATEO HE ALREADY GOT LOW SELF ESTEEM AND HE'S DOING AN AMAZING JOB STOP GETTING IN BETWEEN 😭😭😭

Yeah Mateo is also being against him, but at least he realizes that they have to stop fighting each other, so that's good

Sorry if I'm biased from now on I'm just really rooting for Mat

I really wonder how Cooper and Logan became friends in the first place...

So the Night Hunter got Zoey's song? That's kinda interesting, it makes me wonder how much their power can extent. They can take creativity and using what someone's like against them... AAAAAAA THE ANGST POTENTIAL IN THIS

It's nice to see Izzie calling her out, like girl you can do your solo thing if you want but if you really wanna help then move it!

ZOEY RESCUEEEEEEE

Pff Izzie just wants to be her friend and Zoey is not having it 😂 Come oooon, drop the lone wolf act, join the gang!

ZOEY WITH HER CLOCK THINGIE I REALLY WANNA KNOW MOOOORE

Also interesting that the Night Hunter got a crossbow, while Zoey got a bow. I don't know if it's simply a parallel, or Zoey got pissed and used it to mock him 🤣🤣

Challenge in the forge GO

I actually just had a recent conversation with my boyfriend about fears, over how suffocation is something everyone fears apparently. Given this, having then go down the sand... SCARY ENOUGH I'D SAY

Nooooo Logan dang it, you're making it hard to cheer for you 😅

WOOOOOO ANOTHER TROUPE I'M A SUCKER FOR, MAIN CHARACTERS FACING THEIR FEARS 😍😍😍

Maybe I'm just that easy to please, but this show is ticking all boxes for me

FINALLY SOME LIGHT ON COOPER! I was waiting to see something more about his character and MAN I'm not disappointed! He's a much more stressed person than I thought, he wants to be up to expectations but there's so much on his plate!

I wonder if he got friends with Logan because he's way more carefree...

Awwww Izzie is not over Mr. Sharkyjaw 😢 I might've glossed over that scene but in retrospect, given how much she cares about her plushies, it must've hurt her

DUDE MAT GOT THE COMBO SCHOOL NIGHTMARE AND NO HANDS GIVE HIM A BREAK JEEZ

ALSO NOT Z-BLOB 😭😭

Interesting how their nightmares are in some very specific places

I think that Mateo lives school in a very negative way as we saw in other episodes so it makes sense to see him there. Cooper seems to be a bit too pressured by his parents, therefore he's in his house. As for Izzie I think she's very comfortable in a lot of places, so this is the most unreal one

It would be very cool analyzing Izzie's dream, losing someone like that... MORE FICS IDEA HERE I COME

Look at them overcoming fears 🥹

Pff Oz doesn't care if Zoey joins or not, he just really needs backup 🤣🤣

CRAFTING HOURGLASSES 😍😍😍

This was a very cute scene, although I hope we'll still see Mateo using the weapon pencil because it's so silly and quirky and I actually kinda love it 👌

Since we're putting so much focus on Lunia, I wonder if she's an important character for any of them. Like personally

Is it Mat and Izzie's mom? Zoey's mom?... Zoey's herself? ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE THIS FAR IN THE SHOW I'D SAY

So... what now, Logan? Any chance you'll get to be a bit nicer? I really wanna like you so please, PLEASE, do something nice next time I see you 😅

IT WAS SUCH A GOOD EPISODE THOUGH I'M SO HAPPYYYYY

#keep them coming lego #i'm so into this #lego #dreamzzz #lego dreamzzz #dreamzzz mateo #dreamzzz izzie #dreamzzz cooper #dreamzzz logan #dreamzzz zoey #spoilers

I've wanted to write a fic with an over powered MC and I have an OK ish thing for it?? Just not sure if anyone would wanna read an OP MC tho but anyway-

When a human dies, they get reincarnated as a lesser demon/angel. However, depending on how great your magic is, you could possibly come back as a powerful demon/angel, or at the very least powerful enough to retain your human form. This is why little D's are literally blobs.

Usually, demons are very careful not to let a human die while a pact is still present, since due to the pact they have a higher magic capacity and could potentially come back as a powerful demon. They're also careful with making pacts with humans who already have a pact with another demon. But, if a human gets reincarnated as an angle, the pacts amount to null.

This is exactly why demons are much more willing to make a pact with Solomon, since he's immortal (I believe his immortality is such that he's literally unable to die, even if he were to be beheaded he'd still be alive and feel the pain of it, the concept is scary in its own way and I wanna go more into it later in a fic).

Now, the brothers are well aware of MCs mortality, but its not something they like to bring up. Beside, we're always next to them right? What could go wrong?

What if one day MC dies unexpectedly, and Diavolo instantly starts to panic. Imagine what kind of monstrosity a human who made pacts with all 7 avatars would bring about as a demon.

He'd probably try to get MC to pledge loyalty to him, just to be safe. But if you refuse for whatever reason? (Seeing how sometime even Lucifer fears him, I'd probably want more time to think about it) You can expect yourself to be on Barbatos's watch list until you give in or die.

But of course, there's also the route where MC is reincarnated as an angel and everyone is safe 👍

[authorangelita]

Happy Saturday! I had this scene pop into my head a couple of days ago, and I don't quite know what to do with it, so I'm posting it here for now. This is in the Reunited verse where Jack was captive for 5 years because Kovacs and Mac and Riley have a son named Jay.

~~

Jack let himself into Mac and Riley's house and quietly closed the door.  He'd heard from Matty that Mac took the day off because Jay was sick, and Riley was out on an op with one of the other teams, so he'd high-tailed over to the house. 

Rounding the corner into the living room gave him his first glimpse of the situation.  The TV was quietly playing an episode of Spongebob – a show he'd become familiar with recently while looking after Jay – and the couch was occupied by a MacGyver men blob. 

Mac was lying on his side with his back pressed against the back of the couch, and Jay was curled up in front of him with his back to Mac's chest.  They were still in their PJs and sharing a blanket.  Jay was clutching the plush horse that Jack had gifted him, but he barely looked over at Jack when he sat in the chair by the couch. 

"Mornin'," Jack said softly.  He eyed the bucket he'd just noticed was set in easy reach by the couch, but it was empty when he craned his neck to peek inside.  "Rough night?"

Mac looked over at him with bleary eyes and nodded slowly.  "Jay caught a stomach virus, but I think he's getting better.  He's kept down some meds and Pedialyte this morning."

Jack spotted the half-empty Pedialyte bottle and a sippy cup on the table and nodded.  "And you?"

"I'm not sick, just tired."

Jack raised an eyebrow, but Mac met his gaze calmly, if a little sleepily.  He seemed to be telling the truth.  "Do you guys need anything?"

"Coffee?" Mac asked hopefully. 

Grinning, Jack stood and headed into the kitchen, where he started a pot of coffee.  He made it strong, and Mac usually hated that, but if he'd been up all night with Jay, he needed the caffeine boost.  He also dropped a couple slices of bread into the toaster and poked around in the fridge to see if there were omelet ingredients. 

He was debating how much sugar to add to Mac's mug when Mac walked into the room, yawning and stretching his arms over his head.  He grabbed the cup and downed it black, which was very unlike him.

"How long have you been up, bud?"

Mac glanced at the clock and grimaced.  "Twelve hours, give or take."

"I can stay with him if you want to go and get some actual sleep in a bed."

Mac looked over his shoulder to where Jay was sleeping on the couch.  "I might take you up on that for an hour or so.  If he feels worse or his fever spikes, just wake me up.  There's a thermometer on the coffee table."

"One that you haven't taken apart?"

Mac rolled his eyes but replied, "Riley says the child thermometer is off limits.  Always off limits."

Jack narrowed his eyes and stared Mac down for a moment.  "And how many have you replaced?"

"About five, but don't tell her."

"Secret's safe with me.  And don't worry.  Jay and I will be out here, watching TV and drinking our breakfast beverages of choice.  Do you want me to try and get some food in him?"  Jack grabbed a piece of toast that had just popped up.

"If he asks for something, you can give him some banana or applesauce.  He doesn't like plain toast."  Mac grabbed the toast from Jack's hand and took a bite as he headed toward the master bedroom.  "Thanks, man."

Jack took a minute to fix himself a cup of coffee before heading into the living room to sit back in the chair beside the couch.  Jay, now awake, looked over at him and waved with the hand that didn't have a death grip on the plush horse. 

"Hey, cowboy.  Are you feeling a little better?"

Jay nodded.

"Good.  That's real good.  You want some more of this?" He leaned forward to grab the sippy cup next to the Pedialyte bottle.  It was about half-full, which Jack decided was good enough for now. 

Jay nodded again.  This time he moved, sliding off the couch, walking to Jack, and climbing into his lap.

Setting his coffee on the side table, Jack helped Jay get settled in the crook of his arm.  He could feel the heat of the little boy's fever and worriedly pressed the back of his hand to Jay's forehead.  He was warm but not as bad as Jack first thought he was.  He handed Jay the sippy cup and picked his coffee back up.

Jack stared at the TV, not really paying attention to it, while he thought about how good Mac was with his son.  Jay adored Mac, and Mac cherished every moment with Jay. 

Jack figured that losing his parents at such young ages made Mac acutely aware that time was a precious commodity with kids.  As an adult, he'd gotten his father back for a little while, but Mac knew what it was like to long for a parent, so he spent as much time as he could with Jay.  It was something that everyone encouraged, right down to Matty giving the whole family time off whenever possible.  Jack was so glad that he got to be a part of that family and that he got to watch the little boy in his arms grow up.

It is times you blobs

More of Reflection-AU

this time it's Sandy and Nezha's turn!!

((I'm so sorry for anyone who's been waiting- I've been busy these past weeks and I'm settling with my new drawing tablet even those these were done before that jjffkrkrkkkfgh))

[[Design rambles: It took me some time to do Sandy's armour because I wanted to do him some justice by making his attire kinda historically accurate (if that makes sense) I tried to keep some water elements to it, and of course I couldn't forget about Mo! He's a magical tiger now but he'd still have screen time

For nezha I just looked up "men's fashion" and kept looking and to be frank with y'all? Men's fashion us kinda boring I genuinely feel bad for y'all- but I found some good pieces and mashed them together and I hope everything else is self explanatory]]

[[Changes : Their backstories haven't changed a lot after I swapped them (speaking from what we know about them in the show and not the book) so I decided to add to it a little,

*Nezha (taking OG Sandy's place) was a ruthless fighter in the military who dropped out due to guilt and regret for hurting others, here he hasn't fully recovered no matter how many therapy plants he buys or cold drinks he makes, he still accidentally hurts others even the ones he's trying to protect and his serious cold nature makes most people fear going near him, but really he's just a sweet guy trying to get rid of his past and be a better person

*Sandy us hard working and very dedicated warrior (/guardian), he is known for being the best and getting the job done no matter what, although he's not happy about the damage he might cause, it's just a part of the job and someone has to do it. But sooner or later he has to learn to listen to others and work as a team member and to get some work off of his shoulders

*like I mentioned, nezha makes cold drinks (slushies, milkshakes,...etc) to cool down, literally, in the ping pong episode I imagine Bai he adding too much ice or something that it causes him to get paralysed by a brain freeze or something similar to that lmao, he's also a skater-boii!!!

*okay for a second- did I make sandy too OP??? I know OG nezha was pretty strong and all but like-- sandy here is already physically strong, has those energy tokens with different powers/usages, and a magic powered tiger-like creature that's smart enough to fight on it's own-- ]]

#digital art #lego monkie kid #peach-us do-us art-us #lmk art #lmk sandy #lmk nezha #lmk reflection au #fun fact : i struggled for days on wether to swap sandy with nezha or Chang 'e Because i didn't want to live any of the two out #and Chang 'e was supposed to be a Therapy bunny at some point but i scrapped that dkfjf #which reminds me #i should do something for Chang 'e later :V

Another 10 on the barbie.

A fun little haunted mansion gig, wiv maybe a little too much reliance on heads falling off, but it's still a good one. i still kind of want to know what happened wiv the eyeball-blob-thing, it just kind of wanders off?

Playing in LBP3 really does a whole number on this one. There's a bit where i'm pretty sure a hero cape was supposed to spawn and it doesn't, the lighting is super-bright and washed out, even for an I6V6I level; but most importantly that break at the end. i don't know exactly why that bounce pad was refusing to trigger, but there's just no workaround to get past the flaming bit following wivout its momentum. A real shame, really. This one's, honestly a bit too big, and a bit too twee, but i was still having a good enough time.

We talked about this last Friday, so all i'll say is... why the heck did this video get so many plays?

i really like nichijou's galleries, they've got so much charm in them; and even being an immigrant, there's definitely a nice feeling when you can say "oh! hey! i know that!" Honestly, it's one of the reasons i still have a soft spot for Persona 5. It certainly isn't the character arcs. There are some bits here where you can see LBP3's engine playing rough wiv LBP mechanics, there are some piston issues later in the level that don't break anything, but you can tell aren't looking like the intended effect.

This was, honestly, maybe not the best choice for a Kyouchan358 level to show. It's cute and all, and you can see them stretching a bit wiv mechanical movement, but there's really not much here here. i'd wanted to look at this really neat, and kinda chonky, Rube Goldberg level they'd done, it's honestly super cool. Unfortunately, it's so fiddly, that as folx pointed out when we tried to look at it on stream, it probably had a hard time running even in its native engine, let alone wiv LBP3's handling. Luckily, Kyouchan did put up a recording themselves, so i'll include that in another post so you can see how neat it is.

Ope. This video is blocked in Japan, so i can't give it a quick look right now, well, at least not wivout digging around in my hard drive, which is one step too many for me at the moment. Look, it happens.

A big exporing platformer wiv lots to see, but little direction, and lots of ways to fall out of level. Still, it was cute enough, and it's always nice to see some ambition.

Probably more going on in this one than was entirely necessary, it's definitely a big chonky thing, and kind of all over the place. The paintinator bits on the rotating platforms could definitely have used some trimming. People always seemed to put way too many hitpoints on Paintinator obstacles. Even me. i did that. Kinda wish that level was still up. Neptune dropped in the comments and mentioned the end section is very reminiscent of Mario64, and he's not wrong.

i mostly liked this one. i've always had a fondness for mechanicals done in wood. There are some real nice ones here, tho' that opening bit was such a pain in the arse. Also, as much as i liked the presentation and concept, the pacing is all off on that big setpiece one 3/4s the way in? It just grinds the momentum of the level to a complete halt.

i just talked about this one, like, a minute ago, and i'm honestly all out of juice. Go check out that post, aye?

[misqnon]

its march :3 (side note i think its funny that i chose march .. as a name.. to call myself. because i just like the name (and secretly i was thinking of the character from to you, my immortal/to your eternity) but it.. it was just march. march just ended. i only realized this connection yesterday.)

you would be CORRECT..!! see its Obvious. i think i would be way more embarrassed to pretend like ur wrong or gloss over ur guess bc thats ... .. the 2nd one just proves u right and the first one... is... is humiliating .... i will not go off anon tho this is comfy for me <3 (another side note. 20 minutes after giving myself a name . for ease. i was so embarrassed and ashamed LOL. like wow... i named myself when its already so obvious who i am....)

im really not much of a shipper tbh, especially with the straw hats cuz i love to see them as having familial relationships or just being real close friends but!!! one piece has definitely awakened something in me.. to ship characters. bc before i would never ship characters in media. i have.. various reasons for this. but the one piece fandom is so into shipping it has rubbed off on me a bit. i cant help it. i love hannyabul x magellan.

zoro is the perfect mix of cool and goofy, its so wonderful!!! using 3 swords is like the silliest thing in theory and then he busts out the most awesome moves with it and its like wow .. look at him. i cant imagine being zoro levels of bad at directions tho that is... impressive... /lh. DO PEOPLE CHOOSE LEAST FAVORITE STRAW HATS??? HOW DO THEY DO THAT .. tbh i dont consider people old til theyre in like their 50's or 60's (partly bc my parents are nearing their mid 60's and i see them as eternally youthful) but i feel like old man yaoi can include middle aged men!??? also tbh rayleigh (when hes old man-ified...) is really hot.. like young rayleigh is fine but old man rayleigh??? wow....

GOOD THING UR IN WHOLE CAKE ISLAND ARC SO U GET TO SEE KATAKURI SOON!!! cuz omg.... he is so lovely. he deserves so much love. crocodile is so popular!! i get the hype n i used to love him like that too.. but my interest has faded.. 😔 i do love the trans man croc and crocodad theories tho theyre so fun even if theyre not true. i love to imagine dragon (oh my god imagine dragons ...) as a guy whos still in love with his ex. i think that would be so silly .. and if his ex was croc??? that would be even sillier ... theyre perfect.

don't worry i have the sanji tiktoks saved for the day i work up courage 🫡!! pls DO send me more op stuff i love it !!!!

YES YES YES YES THATS THE WXACT VIDEO I WATCHED AHIFHSDJD!!! i was rly converted into a dub liker by That Alone!!!!

im real picky about voice acting tbh and japanese just makes it easier for me to like bc they have way cooler sounding voices. that "luffy... help me" scene with nami in arlong park will forever sound better to me in the sub rather than the dub . the voice crack!!! the helplessness!!! the way she squeaked it out, like it was the most painful thing to ask for help!!! ugh... big fan. i looked it up just now to rewatch and yeah i cried a bit 😎. also i just noticed her tears are rolling down her neck that is so real. anyways back to luffy,, yeah his voice acting makes him sound kinda more like... mature?? perhaps?? and he is a guy with endless youth and childish energy.. i dont like a luffy that sounds like. a teenager ... ofc i say all this having never watched a full episode of the dub so i could be super off LOL

the live action seems to play nami and zoro as much bigger grumps and ive heard zoro doesnt joke around much and im.... honestly rly worried to watch and be disappointed by that. although tbh nami not being super goofy makes sense to me .. zoro... my beloved zoro.. mackenyu (?) is a perfect zoro in terms of looks so i just hope i love his characterization of him too!!

i watched the april fools video!!!! i recognize that blob but idr the comic name.. very silly though i loved it. i guess i will have to do some pirating.. yarr mateys.

i can sit and watch shortform content for like 6 hours straight but as soon as i feel like i have to pay attention because im afraid of missing any context. suddenly my brain is out the window. i cant handle it anymore. ALSO IVE NEVER SEEN THAT COLORSPREAD??? DOFFY TONGUE PIERCINGS CANON??????

i ALSO loved younger joseph like he was so fun and goofy!!! and then he comes back as a gross old man who not only cheated but cheated with a MUCH younger woman.. and i was like wow!!!! suddenly you are disgusting!!! i will never pity that old man >:( (i will a little)

taking sanji away from oda and dressing him like a doll is Perfect. wonderful analogy. i love it. i keep thinking about dressing characters up like dolls so its topical to me specifically.

admittedly even as a transmasc person i didnt pick up on yamato being a trans guy at first. but all i had to do was look it up.. and read some ppls thoughts on it . and now i will defend him to the ends of the earth. its not hard to learn things that change ur perspective in this age of the internet !! i also agree he's done yamato dirty a few times . honestly when i see people listing reasons yamato isnt trans as like "he was drawn in a womens spread" or "he only identifies as a man because he idolizes a man" its. first of all its so exhausting. bc they always say the same few things. but also!! why did oda have to do him dirty like that!! 😭😭. i genuinely think that him being in a womens spread is probably just transphobia on oda's part (yes i think u can be transphobic towards ur own characters). but the whole "hes not trans because he wants to be *this* man not just *a* man" is so Weird?? like i usually love things being up to readers interpretation (even/especially lgbtq rep tbh) but i think yamato being trans could have been left up to interpretation in a better way?? or like he couldve just said "im a guy" at any point without the whole "because of this man i idolize" thing tacked on. idk if any of this makes sense. I'm trying to explain without spoiling anything LOL. hopefully i succeeded and ur still mostly spoiler free..

i havent written for any op characters before but i can imagine how easy it is!!! and somehow people still butcher their characters LOL its fucking insane. (im bitter)

law!!! yes hes SUPER popular. tbh i liked him real quick after the timeskip. it didnt take much for him to become one of my favorite characters!! all he has to do is make a shocked face every time he ends up going along with the straw hats antics. that is enough. sanji making sandwiches when theyre talking abt the alliance and law says "i dont like bread!!" and then his face of horror when he realizes what hes done .... its so beautiful... i love law and straw hat dynamics!!!

YEAH THATS FROM ONE PIECE PARTY. he actually shows up a lot in that series. i couldnt find all of it online but of what i could find... he was in almost every chapter. it was great. another amazing one piece party moment with law is. the sauna scene where they ask about his tattoos... i . i. i cant even explain how funny it is to me. my explanation could never do it justice.

actually a tierlist sounds Genius.. i am going to make a tierlist. wait for me... i will send it.. whenever im done .. although i dont kno w how to send images... ill find out .

choso is seriously the love of my life (i have many) hes so .. he is so special to me. i have been drawing for a large portion of my life but i spent a long time not taking it seriously out of fear . fanart has reignited my ambition to get better at art!!! its great. thank u hyperfixationions. thank u special interests. thank u audhd.

ok honestly ive never abt eye colors?? i saw recently that robins eyes are actually supposed to be brown not blue tho.. and like... wow... both are so lovely i cant decide what i like more.

to give u an answer though i will brainstorm what eye colors i think they all have!!

luffy: tbh.. like a light reddish brownish color.. i have reasons for this but i cant tell u yet.

nami: a soft orange. she is just so orange. or green!! like the leaf on an orange..

zoro: i... i have no idea for him??? grey?? white?? pink???? green?? im just listing colors?? actually white sounds pretty cool tho.. or maybe a super pale yellow?? that also sounds cool to me..

usopp: his eyes r definitely yellow or green

sanji: ive seen blue and brown for him but tbh as a blue eyed dirty blonde.. i like brown eyes better. i choose brown

chopper: theyre brown. he has big doe eyes. i love deer and their freaky giant eyelashed eyes.

robin: yeah blue or brown are both lovely on her!! tbh i loved her pre timeskip design especially bc the highlights in her hair matched her eyes.. and it was such a nice contrast with her skin color. so i have to choose blue.

franky: my blue eyed king. i love u american boy. they match his hair

brook (for funsies, despite never seeing his eyes): hes gotta have something wacky... rainbow eyes... rainbow.. yes rainbowm.. perfect . ok but actually if i were to choose id choose purple. light purple.

overall i think i chose pretty basic answers (lotta brown and blue). i love brown eyes they r so pretty . also this was very fun to think about???? thank u for asking??? pls tell me what ur headcanons r!!

no yeah i thought possibly it was a name but i was like “haha march anon. bc its march. yea”

jvbhc IT WASNT OBVIOUS WHO YOU WERE TO ME i did not have a guess at all until you said it was obvious and then i got a reply on my post that same day after that that had ur similar typing style and i was like. 👁️oh. KJFNKDSN but yes ur free to stay on anon if u want!! but my dms are always open too 👍

i was a big shipper when i was like. a teenager. and then i grew out of it UNTIL ONE PIECE…IDK WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED AND IM REALLY EMBARRASSED ABOUT IT </3 THOUGHT I WAS OVER THIS DAMN STUFF!! i jokingly refer to zosan as my one piece yaoi to my friends. they hate it. so do i,

p.s. the end of that paragraph. took me for a loop. i . WAS NOT EXPECTING HANNYABUL X MAGELLAN SKVNFKD BUT SO TRUE. SO TRUE ‼️

zoro IS a perfect balance its no wonder he’s so well liked (even tho...a lot of dudebros seem to ignore his silly side). whenever i ask someone their favorite one piece character im just expecting them to say zoro tbh. like yea that’s the correct answer. KDNKS not really but its definitely the one i see being most popular. and YES his 3 swords are cool enough but the earrings. does oda know how hard he went giving zoro 3 gold dangly earrings on one ear. like does he know

and you’re right about rayleigh. my friends tell me i am an old man chaser and therefore i am biased but u see my vision. he’s literally hotter when he’s old. it’s the silver fox look.

I KNOW I GOTTA BE SO CLOSE. AHHAGHHH. when i get to katakuri best believe the liveblog will go crazy

my interest has kinda faded with croc too as he hasnt shown up as much…but i know he comes back and when he DOES show up im always so pleasantly surprised i gotta list him. I 1000% think he’s trans (though i dont believe the part about him being luffy’s mom. however. i do enjoy the content that comes from it bc its an interesting concept. and dragon as his ex works weirdly well and is so fucking funny imagining dragon (oh my god i did it too…) missing his ex. 

WOOHOO!!!! AWAITING THE SANJITOKS WITH BATED BREATH. i love that the brook video is making its way around bc its actually a joy. sub does sound “cooler” usually but it just sounds so foreign to me at this point (not foreign in the literal sense of being a diff language. like. just sounds Wrong after being so used to dub.) hold on i need to watch that scene sub now [...]

OKAY. SO. TWO VERY POWERFUL SCENES: i watched both nami’s “help me” at arlong park and robin’s “i want to live” at enies lobby in both sub and dub just now…and for those two in particular. damn theyre actually ALL GOOD?? LIKE ALL REALLY WELL DONE?? although. my favorite dub moment by far. is robin’s “i want to live” in dub. her english voice is my fav compared to the sub by far. if you havent heard it i HIGHLY recommend you check it out like please. for me. literally gives me chills every. time.

tbh that is one of my only major issues with the live action. i actually prefer live action luffy (DONT KILL ME. ITS ONLY BY A LITTLE BIT. INAKI IS JUST SO WONDERFUL AND ITS A COOL ALTERNATE TAKE TO HIS CHARACTER. HE’S..NICER. MORE KIND? BUT NOT IN A WAY THAT I FEEL ERASES MANGA/ANIME LUFFY) tbh the live action tweaked each character a bit. nami is more serious and grumpy, zoro is WAY TOO EDGY?? (zoro is the one i was least happy with) and isnt boisterous nor does he laugh enough (esp for early/pre ts zoro) he does great with the action scenes though. usopp is the closest but he feels more like. suave about his lying whether than nervous? i dont mind it tho. jacob is great. taz is a good sanji but melontee once called him “chad british sanji” and now i cant get tht terrible phrase out of my head KJDNFKVN it really is a fun ride tho!! 

YES THAT COLORSPREADDDD i saw once that apparently the color spreads arent “canon” but whatever. thts not the point. the point is oda has drawn him with tongue piercings which mean he has considered doffy with tongue piercings. its canon to Me

im literally planning to write a fic where sanji goes back to kamabakka with the strawhats and gets forced into doing Kamabakka Island Things (read: gay shit) by Iva even tho he’s embarrassed bc his crew his there. rewriting kamabakka to be better is my favorite past time

u did a good job with the yamato explanation, i already was aware of a lot of that/dont feel spoiled at all! and i agree completely to all of those points. i feel like he Almost wanted to do trans rep but maybe wanted an out ?? or was too scared to go full send with it?? or is just being transphobic lmao. yea. yes to ur whole paragraph basically

law’s “i dont like bread” is iconic ksdnkdc. also ur description of “all he has to do is make a shocked face every time he ends up going along with the straw hats antics” just makes me imagine law pogging all the time. i think that alone just made me like his character more than before KSADNC

I LOOKED UP THE ONEPIECE PART PANEL. “PENIS DEATH” DFKN DF CHOPPA !?!?

if u make a tierlist i will make one…i might have made one b4 actually…i will look. 

HELL YEAA i recently made a bingo for my fav characters across fandoms. u should tell me if u share any . and i think i have it turned on so people can send media in asks?? if not, my submissions are also open

and yes. keep drawing. always and forever as long as its fun!! dont be scared. ur supposd to enjoy it!

yea robin’s eyes are brown in the manga but blue in the anime! i think it was either an error or oda was like “yea whatever thats fine” lmao

luffy’s…”i have reasons for this but i cant tell u yet.” HELLO?? IM SCARED. personally i feel like he has dark brown!!

omg..i like nami’s canon brown eyes but orange or green would be cute!

i 1000% want grey eyes for zoro. i know whenever they stylize the irises in the anime they just color them grey for sanji and zoro but like. for zoro they actually really Work…though i think when u CAN see his irises in colored manga art they’re usually brown? the other most popular option i see people give him in fanart is gold/yellow tho!

VERY INTERESTING USOPP CHOICE?? I WAS GONNA SAY BROWN LIKE NAMI’S BUT MAYBE A BIT DARKER (lighter than luffy’s tho)

ive gotten so used to blue eye sanji bc thats how EVERYONE draws him but in the most recent colorspread…bro. tell me those arent brown. and i recently found other examples with oda colorign his eyes brown, so i think he has a situation similar to robin’s. i prefer brown eyes and brown eyed sanji is so hansome but like. i saw his blues so much that now im torn

i think i actually agree w you about robin for the exact same reason! and bc so many of his characters seem to have brown in “canon”

omg. i havent thought abt franky a lot but hear me out…pink?? i just think it would look good with his hair,

also i consulted this post for what i think their “canon” colors are (in manga)!

RAINBOW EYES FOR BROOK…GAY ASS OLD MAN…light purple would actually look good behind his glasses in his human form!

i might not be able to reply in the next couple days bc i always write so much in these that i sit down to do it at my laptop but i'll keep an eye out and get back to u when i can 🥸

ps...what are ur favorite arcs...

The Monthly Post - September 2023 - Look at the time fly

What did I do this week, of this month, of this year? I attended a talk on Neural Networks and democratizing the system so to speak. It was attended by individuals from the school I'm now attending as well as researchers from Oxford. The voices in the room wary of AI were few, maybe 3 out of 22. I was mostly there out of interest in meeting the lab's manager, and to ask about applications in gaming. In summation: little was answered here, but it was a stepping stone for me.

SO go ahead, get a view of the time flying by.

The burden of progress falls on us. As long as smart people are willing to do dumb things for money there will be new problems to deal with. The problem I see most often is that there is little for us to do but get upset about it and then forget. I often only remember things in context, I may have trouble writing a program without a keyboard in front of me, and paper and pencil are right out. Speaking of things I don't forget, however:

I put this on my website, but things on the frontpage there are temporary, stored only in the git blob. Let's discuss trauma. Most games are about physical trauma, one I played recently, Taylor McCue's "He Fucked the Girl Out of Me" is a dirty example. The game mixes the reality of a transperson as a sexworker with people's disgusting needs. According to a recent article:

So many people are put in unsafe situations, I find myself very lucky that I've gotten free of most of the worst of the world, but second to third hand experience still weighs on the mind and soul. I've had trouble coming to accept myself and my needs.

...

Music of the Month:

Breakcore is a weird genre on Youtube. Defined as drums and bass (DnB), many videos on breakcore have comments stating that other breakcore creators are making for the wrong genre. I personally have trouble understanding why most things defined by humans are the way that they are, beyond the fact it just is. For example math makes sense when you have fingers to learn base 10 off of, but still perfectly acceptable are just thoughts like: "I have none." "I see one." "I should be wary, there are many." Not to diss human thought, as it has gotten us this far, but the aliens/floating objects in our skies likely will have no basis to talk with, but that's a whole mess right now.

So far my favorite track of the list is Pretty CVnt. For sampling the OP or ED to Watamote, the stunning deep vocalizations, and general feel.

Game of the Month:

There are indie crews like Spiderweb Software that have been running for 20 years or more, but the Adams brothers' Slaves to Armok 2 is a delight. If only I knew how to create value better, my shrine needs 6k dwarf points to count as a temple. On most other accounts my Kobold Kamp is running smoothly. Food is mostly stable right now and animals keep breeding without needing grazing land. Happiness is mixed, likely from being in the rain. Yet I've found ores of iron and silver on the surface, eat that aquifer! Breaching that sucker will be a gamechanger, I brought a screw pump corkscrew for the job, but its a little daunting.

Worst News of the Month in The Gamedev World:

Unity...

Internet Denizen and Maker of the Month:

I remember the days of twitter. At times I had to unfollow this creator just to clean my feed, they posted so vicariously. You could follow them too, or not, your pick.

My Work of the Month:

This had been sitting in my head for awhile after learning about Per-Pixel Transparency. Turned out pretty good in my opinion.

Wrapup:

I've been taking school rather well, hope that continues. Oh by the way...

Here's something to leave it off on, enjoy! If you can...

[knowlessman]

uh. been a minute. super kids playing dodgeball. bnha s3e17-21

who is this kid with the teeth they keep showing in the intro

oh yeah, the Ninja Clan Hidden in the Teletubby House 'XD -- "Team TeleNinja is blasting off again!"

Not much to say about Momo outsmarting Princess Mind Palace. yeah. that was things, that was cool

if this weirdo with the hat turns people into blobs but those blobs somehow don't have the targets on them any more… how exactly does he win?

blinks …that was a whole episode, huh. welp, next

I keep expecting the first beats of the last OP. this one ain't bad either, tho.

oh, everybody has six pokeballs each. thought they only had three for some reason.

"If I were given eight hours to chop down a tree, I would spend the first six sharpening my axe." Knowing me, I'd spend the first seven and a half doing fuckall and then cut my own arm off trying to use a rented chainsaw.

you with the hat. why haven't you just passed the flippin test already? assuming you can un-blob people, and kirishima hasn't just been killed off out of nowhere, how far up your own ass do you have to be to not just un-blob a couple people and take your license? presumably, they're more than a little discombobulated when they come out of it, so they should be easy pickings.

It's time… to D-D-D-D-DANCE! (idk I couldn't think of any other D words to do with being zapped)

okay, and I guess laserguts is sending up this beacon for… some kind of reason?

and nobody wanted to tell kota that that mask makes him look like howard the duck.

"yay, I can take a nap now!" -- oh. there's still another test left. of course.

huh. Cousin Itt's polite.

"we know it's a rescue training mission, but we gotta give bakugo something to do or we'd have to fail him"

…a filler episode in the middle of what's sort of a filler arc? -- all might with regular eyes still weirds me tf out

so, it's a recap of the movie? or a prequel to the movie, or, something

…what is this sposed to be and why is it here

still can't get over how much all might's villain costume makes him look like caiman from dorohedoro

why is this crammed in the middle of a completely unrelated arc tho

pffft 'XD oh come on, they just assumed all might was corpsing because he's not a good actor

if this is sposed to tell you about the movie, then after this do I get to bitch about them uncanoning melissa's gauntlets? …wait the current arc hasn't even wrapped up yet, the continuity here is just beyond fucked.

huh. so windy guy is just if syndrome had taken it differently and just tried to be a angy hero instead (also if heroes hadn't gone underground I guess).

Hair guy is pretty cool

ain't really that late, but I think I'mma leave the last four episodes of the season for next time.

[sashi-ya]

Hello there. I wanted to start by saying I really love your work. I have a request that I've been holding back on out of embarrassment; it's rather personal. I see you're a doctor though so putting it in your hands feels better and maybe it's a good fit?

What are your thoughts on how Zoro, Law, and maaaybe Crocodile (if you write for him) would react to a female crush or SO with hand/arm scarring + missing finger? If you want to make it less specific, just visible old injuries in general? Lots of the men in OP have amputations, scars, etc and they look badass but as a chick I can't help but feel so many negative things.

Headcannons or short stories, anything would be great. Thank you for considering.

PS- I adore your profile pic

My darling! you should never EVER be embarrassed about any wound or anything your body has. I love scars, wanna know why? because I think every scar has a story to tell. When I see my own scars, or from others, I think about everything that happens to that person to be right there in front of me. Some wounds tell stories about sleepless nights of pure joy, others about mistakes, some about dark and terrible moments in our lives. But you know what? if there are scars on your body, it is because they got enough time to heal. And that just means that you are now here. You have gone from the moment the wound was open to now. Closed. Fixed. A remaining blob of fibroblastic cells, collagen and all that stuff your body does to close wounds.

Plus, I think scars make people so unique. Like when we choose to dye our hair or pierce our ears. Scars made us unique. To be honest, I simply love them.

Yet, I know there are so many people that use those “differences” to bully those who have them… That makes me really sad. They are afraid of knowing others' stories because they have probably never cured a wound deep inside their soul, they don’t have closed injuries, they haven’t fixed them still. Be patient with them, someday they will heal too…

I hope you enjoy these two stories. I’m afraid I don’t really know how to write for Crocodile yet. It’s a deep sensitive topic here so I wanted to write for those characters I know the most. I hope you don’t mind.

Scars made us unique, you are beautiful ♥ ~

Ps: thank u about your kind words darling ♥ ~

Trafalgar Law & Roronoa Zoro ~ Reacting To Their Crush Scars ~ Short Stories.

TW: Scars, reaction to them. Fluff.

WC: 1.3K

Roronoa Zoro.

“Oi, aren’t you hot y/n?” the swordsman asks her. “N-not really” she lies, covering her arm with a long sleeve coat she usually wears. There isn’t a single cloud in the sky, the sun is hitting their skins on that hot island, and she just walks next to her crew mates, enduring the suffocating weather.

“We should split in groups” your nakama Nami suggests. “Yeah, you are right!” Luffy says and runs towards who knows where. Some of them follow her captain, others form their own group. “Uhm… (name) would you like to come with me?” asks Zoro, a little shy. He is known for getting lost and since she joined the crew, she is kind of his gps.

“Yes, let’s go” she tells him, sweating. Zoro looks at her face, she looks bad, she looks hot, she is sweating and somehow not breathing as she should. They walk over the scolding streets under the midday sun, and she stills wears that long coat.

But she is a human, and humans aren’t supposed to be exposed to such high temperatures… Zoro speaks about who knows what, and she is not listening. “Oi...y/n?” asks Zoro, and before he could hear an answer from her, she just faints. The mosshead grabs her in his arms.

He is no doctor but knows that she should take that coat off as quickly as possible. Zoro’s heart beats faster, he is really scared for her. “Oi… come on Y/N. Fuck! I wish Chopper was here” he says. He slides the sleeves of her clothes off. The swordsman doesn’t notice her injured hand, instead, he pours some water over her face. A face he usually watches from afar, a face he loves and praises in secret. He has a huge crush on her, and trembles at the idea of her feeling bad.

She opens her eyes, slowly. The sun doesn’t hit her, because Zoro is trying to block it with her huge back. She looks at his face, traveling with her eyes the scar over his eye. “So handsome” she thinks. “Oi, Y/N! Are you alright? You need to drink some water!!” he says and takes the canteen to her lips.

She stands up, her hand touching the hot pavement. “Auch” she says and takes her hand to her mouth. She blows to cool it down… Soon, she realizes Zoro’s looking directly at her wounds. But he does not say anything. He simply grabs her hand, and blows. She looks at him, and even if she doubts a little in between taking her hand off, she simply lets the swordsman hold it.

She waits for the inevitable question. “What happened?”. But Zoro never asks. He smiles at her and kisses her hand, soft pecks over every single wound. He helps her stand. “Let me help you. We should find Chopper, he should check on you” he says, and carries her on his wide back.

“You shouldn’t use this during these temperatures, Y/N” he says. She sighs and kisses the swordsman on his cheek. “Thank you” she whispers. “You are so pretty, stop covering yourself” ... On the far side they spot Dr. Chopper.

Now, every time Zoro and you are alone, he kisses your hand. No need to say anything. No need to speak. Zoro knows perfectly about having scars. That mark that crosses his chest, that may have haunted him for a long, long time, is now the reminder he should never give up. He thinks scars are reminders, that are part of who we are. So, why wouldn't he like something that makes you be who you are if he is in love with you?... ♥ ~

Trafalgar Law:

Bepo ran, Shachi followed him. Penguin was setting the fire for the BBQ. You were putting up a big parasol on the sand. Law was still inside the Polar Tang. After everything you and your crew has been through, finally your Captain agreed that it was time for some time off. Your nakamas choose a summer island to rest, and so there was where the Submarine was finally docked.

Everything seemed so calm, until everything went down. A huge storm approached the coast. Wind started to blow like crazy. Bepo, worried, told everyone that the New World weather was no joke and that everybody should get on the submarine before the big stormy cloud hit them… but no one heard. “Bepo, are you sure?” you asked. “Ayaya! I am! Where is Law?” he said. “He has a big migraine” Penguin said as he passed with a huge bowl of lettuce.

You trust your navigator, so you told him that you were going to inform Law about the situation. The crew would for sure listen to him.

You knocked on the metal door of your captain's room. “Captain… excuse me. I’m sorry to bother you”. “Mhj… what is it Y/N?” he asked from inside. “Bepo says a big storm is approaching soon, and that we should come inside. But nobody's listening to him. He is worried. Could you please tell the others to obey him?”. You waited for a response, but there was none. A few seconds later, the door opened, and there was your captain. Way more dark circles than ever, sleepy eyes and an annoyed frown. “Let’s go” he said, putting his white hat on. You two climbed the metallic lather to the main deck. The sky was now grey, black almost. The wind blew strongly.

Law sat on the railing and shouted to the coast. “Oi guys, enter for the love of God! Don’t you see the fucking storm?”. “Captaaaain” everybody complained. “NOW” he commanded, and everybody started boarding the yellow underwater craft. “Tch… they are just like kids…” he grunted.

A huge cold wind gust hit you. Law’s hat flew away. He leaned his stomach over the railing to catch it, but he slipped, and fell. Law sank into the choppy sea. “Law!!!”. He is a devil fruit user, he cannot swim, and he was gonna drown. You didn’t even think twice and jumped into the water, holding the ropes from the sails with one of your hands.

Your captain -and crush- sank, he had closed his eyes, holding his hat strongly with one of his hands. You fought against the black cold waves that tried to separate you from your captain.

He opened his eyes underwater, fixing those grey irises on yours. There was just one way to save his life. He had to grab your hand. That hand you don’t like at all, that hand that has marks, wounds, scars. That hand that somehow you didn’t use. That hand you say so many times it was “useless”. And then… that hand was what was going to give life, that would save Law from drowning.

You extended your arm, and he grabbed it. He held strongly to it, his soft inked fingers squeezing your scars. His life was holding onto them.

Your nakamas pulled from the rope, Law and you emerged. His body remained over the deck of the Polar Tang and you sat on his side.

Your captain finally opened his eyes, he spit some salted water. He felt weak, but nothing stopped him from what he did next. His eyes fixed on yours, and his hand squeezing your wounded one. Law knew how much you had avoided using that arm. And he knew it, because there is nothing, he would miss about you. He loves you, but he never told you… it’s so difficult for him to express his feelings...

“Thanks, Y/N-ya” he whispered. You felt his thumb softly caressing your scars. “You saved my life, you know?”. You just nodded. “I will never forget this saving hand” he told you and gave you a weak smile. Your eyes got blurry; some tears accumulated on them… He took your hand to his tanned skin and you softly brushed your fingers over his cheek… ♥ ~
