5 + 1 Friday Fic Roundup: “The Gamer” Girls

Fics with girls/women (mostly Taylor Hebert) have Gamer or Gamer-adjacent powers.

1. The Rising of the Shield Heroine (SV): Taylor gets alt powers in the form of getting the abilities of the protagonist from “The Rising of a Shield Hero”.

2. Recurve (SB): Taylor gets the alt power of The Gamer and uses it to be a hero.

3. Gaming the System (SB): An SI finds herself in the Worm setting with The Gamer power (and scary hints this might not be her first playthrough).

4. All the Queen’s Men (SB): An SI finds themselves reincarnated into the MCU with a Gamer system. This fic self-identifies as a spite fic.

5. Munchkin (SB): Gamer!Taylor as seen through outside POV. Basically PHO.

Bonus: Doomsday Prevention Toolkit (SB): Taylor ends up with the AI from the video game Mass Effect: Andromeda in her head and “tinker” powers that upgrade.

DID/OSDD culture is a subtle switch happening and only noticing it because you immediately get way worse at whatever you’re doing

Something I've noticed about the magnus archive/protocol's intros.

(image text below the read more)

Text:

The TMA intro: "Oh wow! So spooky! Hah-hah"

The TMP intro : "Oh god. The end is nigh. Jon? That you bud?"

Aqua Regia is a mixture of nitric acid and hydrochloric acid, named by alchemists because it can dissolve the noble metals gold and platinum.

idk if anyone else bought the Yolk vinyl for TMBTE but they apparently upgraded it to solid gold and it gave me Thoughts.

#sleep token #sleep token vessel #tmbte #dumb doodles #take me back to eden #idk i had the thought of an upgraded mask and gold and i HAD to get it out of my system #specifically i wanna see a version of the mask in black and gold instead of red/white #this was litterally “i wonder what that might look like” “oh wait this fucks” #everyone who's here for this content specifically hi ily everyone else bear with me thanks muah #ive not drawn so much in months and its great we're following the dopamine while we got it gamers #I like them a normal amount *she said while wearing the same sweatshirt she's worn for a week straight* #considering a sideblog but for now here you go #sleep token fanart

I RECOMMEND! #totally worth the cash! #i am not a toxic gamer. but the world should breathe a sigh of relief that splatoon does not have a voice chat system #not because id say slurs but because id constantly yell “SUCK MY NUTS” whenever i kill someone #regardless of the dubious existence of said organ (i have no nuts)

This is an RP character I used while I was at university; I drew it back in 1998.

We had an active gaming group, and one of the DMs was developing his own D20 system and world. He let us play with any character we wanted, and between us, we worked up a playable character sheet for an ordinary Predator character. I can't remember if we went with a barbarian class or something else - I think we were referencing the Skills and Powers book rather than the standard player handbook.

This Predator didn't get magic. She was strictly sci-tech, and magic didn't make any sense to her limited worldview (neither did the idea of not killing all the interesting fauna we came across - she wanted trophies, dammit!). I played the "what is this magic nonsense?" as a blind spot, kept getting caught flat-footed (I was the first victim of the Fluffy Pink Bunnies), then killed, then resurrected, then laughed at by the Predator gods... The DM hammed it up. We even had some kind of super-intelligent elven cat that kept using Power Word Happy on the Predator. It was awesome.

...But not awesome for the poor, sanity-hanging-by-a-thread Predator. The other (much better-adjusted) characters nicknamed her "Runs With Scissors".

As I recall, we played long enough and hard enough that we achieved something similar to apotheosis. This Predator made a very grumpy demi-god.

I made this with Prismacolor markers and pencils over an ink drawing.

power imbalance.

explanation/rumination under cut:

(note: in my design quackity uses a speech device which can overheat under intense stress.)

In short I love the dynamic between these two because .. to be completely unnormal about blockmen: to me quackity represent the plight of man and foolish the tranquility yet simplicity of divinity. They are literally a man whose life is nothing but struggling against the constant, quite frankly biblical, misfortune he faces and an actual, somewhat all powerful, god.  

Foolish is so kind. And i see that as a rare priviledge granted to him by the fact that he cant be hurt and destroyed like a mere mortal because he is too powerful, to him, at least when considering his own feeling of security, the world is a playground (but ofc foolish is not naive nor free of pain and hardship). 

Where as in contrast Quackity is not physically powerful and has been smacked around to hell and back both mentally and physically. To him the world is cruel and dangerous. And since he does not want to die (more so he’s dead afraid of it) life is in its core a violent fight to survive. 

Imagine you’re quackity. you’ve been killed, humiliated and betrayed constantly in your life, you have no one you trust fully anymore now that your romantic partners, allies and even some random kids you called your friend have left you on your own. you spend your days torturing a man whose screams tear your soul to pieces but who never confesses and allows it to stop, use all your energy on trying to keep people under you in control but every day you can feel those thin manipulation strings loosening. you haven’t allowed yourself to be vulnerable ever during all this time nor been able to actually rest. 

now imagine a literal god you somehow have on your payroll breaks your bones by just turning around. You are instantly in insane pain, body going into emergency mode, but that isn’t the worst part. The worst part is realising that to him it was just a breeze brushing his hand. You think you control him but he’s standing above you right now, he’s pitying you like you’re a kid who got hurt. It’s so unfair. it’s so unfair you have fought all this time and destroyed everything in you, yet you aren’t close to even a fraction of what he was given on birth. it’s dark jealousy. And Quackity’s speech device doesn’t overheat because of the pain itself but because pain, especially to his face, triggers ptsd. His brain is going feral and animalistic. It takes all his power to pull himself together enough to reassert that he’s in control and make Foolish leave. So that he can’t see him fall apart again. because showing weakness means someone can hurt you, that’s something he has learned well. When he breaks down finally it’s frustration, fatigue, pain, jealousy, unfairness, self-pity but most of all shame and fear.

#godh FINALLY i can get this comic out of my system #wanted to just drop it like a last minute essay but ended up actually liking it again. #quackity #foolish #las nevadas #foolish gamers #dsmp #mcyt #dream smp #thank you to that person who left nice tags!! it inspired me to ramble / explain.

you cant take back the things you said

Not to be like "HL would have been better if..." again but I really wish they had kept the Summoner's Court as a relatable mini-game with the option to choose your opponent. Would have been wonderful in end game to be able to play with the NPCs you're supposed to have befriended.

#dont game me wrong i love the game #but as a general gamer i can see so many missed opportunities from a gameplay perspective #hogwarts legacy #let's not talk about the lack of npc relationship system #and i don't mean romance

[metanarrates]

orv scratches that good gamer itch in my brain because i learned about the term "ludonarrative resonance" once in class and now every time i see a mechanic that serves as storytelling fuel i start screeching with delight

#narrates #orv #orv is CHOCK full of shit like that i go nuts for it constantly #coins stigmas skills PROBABILITY. literally every mechanic gets used to its fullest both as plot device and as a thematic or character tool #i was talking with my fiancee about this. orv feels like the result of some people who really enjoy escapist powerleveling nonsense #but who think very very hard about how stories function and want desperately to talk about it #they consider pretty carefully what 'skills' in other similar settings have the potential to stand for. its very good stuff #i also do find it likely that they are Gamers. you don't spend that level of time thinking about mechanics and magic systems #unless you've played games that use mechanics to reinforce their stories

I don't know if I like this so have this just in case it stays in wip jail

I could see Seven of Nine getting into speedrunning

#B'Elanna likes games where there are like...systems in place that she can exploit (within the rules) and people she can marry #B'Elanna shows Seven one of her favorite games and Seven is like 'I understand. I will beat this game within an hour.' #'No Seven that's not the poi- oh....you're...you're already doing it.' #<- Though she's ticked off about how Seven isn't actually enjoying the game at first as Seven goes on she actually becomes just #impressed about how fast Seven can beat a game without like literally hacking into its code. #This is how Seven becomes B'Elanna's gamer boyfriend bf #b/7 #st voyager #*exploit = she's smart and knows all the tips and tricks #me (lying in bed with covid):........-cough-............Oh My God Speedrunner Seven of Nine
