#he got what he DESERVED (incredible)

[qsmprambling]

Imagine Egg A1 still has one life left, and it somehow manages to escape the facility... It is being followed by mobs, by Federation employees, being hurt by the poison ivy and other environmental threats, but it keeps running, because what other choice is there? That parkour course was a trick after all, the last block was a fake, it was never meant to pass that test in the first place.

So it keeps running, but the Federation workers are getting closer. It won't be able to avoid them forever...

But then it bursts through some bushes and comes face to face with someone new - and it's Bad, out building or exploring or just wandering alone. A1 is immediately afraid, of course. It is a stranger, a very visually striking stranger, the complete opposite of the pure white and featureless employees of the Federation. But there are people close behind, and it knows what will happen to it if it is caught, so... It has no choice but to try. It has no way to communicate, no signs or books, so it simply rushes to hide behind him and hopes he understands, and that he is willing to help...

And Bad, for his part, well.. he's an extremely cautious and paranoid person, and this is just an incredibly confusing and unexpected situation to be in. An unknown egg appeared out of nowhere and is hiding behind him, he can see Federation employees in the distance that are clearly looking for something... He knows that the code has been disguising itself as eggs, and that the strange egg in front of him with no marks, no distinguishing features, an egg that he has never seen before, could easily be the code monster preparing to attack at any moment...

But there is absolutely no way Bad could ever look at an egg in distress and not try to help it, even knowing it could be a trap.

So he quickly digs a shallow hole and pushes the mysterious egg into it, covering it up just in time, and when the employees throw him a book asking if he had seen anything, he lies effortlessly, he complains about nonsense, he asks them where the Ekea is and is as annoying as he can be, until they leave.

And now they're alone... just Bad an this mystery egg in the middle of the woods, A1 too afraid to leave the hole even when Bad tries to coax it out. He gives it food and tries his best to comfort it, to tell it everything is okay and that the pursuers are gone. He gives it some signs and a book, trying to see if it will write anything to him or answer any of his questions, but he gets no reply. A1 is just too afraid to even attempt to answer, and Bad doesn't even know if it understands him. He tries what few words he does know of the other languages, and still no response.

What should he do? As much as the image of a tiny, terrified egg makes him want to do all he can for it he also needs to be safe. He can't bring it home, because if it is a code there is no way he is bringing it anywhere near Dapper. Should he call someone else for help, or would that draw too much attention? Would it even be safe for him or the egg to let anyone know right now? And was this egg dangerous, or harmless and in need of protection? He wouldn't abandon it regardless but...

What now?

#Egg A1 #badboyhalo #I am a Bad watcher it will always be qBad in my what ifs even if anyone could do it #Plus he is perfect for the job #I can't write fic but yes this is basically an A1 fic oops #ElQuackity you thought killing a featureless egg was a safe option but you're wrong we are all attached #I want A1 to be alive and to escape to be adored and protected #Also I bet if Bad got caught with a mystery egg I think he'd just go 'Huh? No this is my other child you just never saw them before :)' #Also for some reason my brain was calling A1 'Alice' but then I saw people using 'Ai' and that's adorable too~ #Though it also makes me think 'artificial intelligence' but hey maybe that is fitting for the fabricated eggs theory XD #'What now' I ask as if I am not already imagining Bad trying to protect A1 and also be safe in case it is a threat #not wanting to think it is but unable to know otherwise #but also being so BBH about it and just being in complete dad mode when they interact #he keeps it in it's own safe little secure home and does what he can to help it with minimal communication for several days #until A1 starts to open up little by little - incredibly slowly #Bad very gradually telling very select people about it #until eventually when the Federation finds out - everyone who knows is immediately hmm what no this is our child what do you mean? #and go ultra protective #because A1 deserves the world #fic within the tags yes #Bad ruined my sleep schedule and I can't sleep mindless rambles time

#i walked into a situation today where my mom was effectively already dead. effectively bc her body was and is still alive. still breathing #painful groaning purrs. but her mind was gone yesterday. my dad said he showed her a picture of the mountains i took that day and told her #i loved her and she smiled. thats what he said. maybe he was just being nice. or maybe thats the last time she thought of me. i dunno. but #the human body is an incredible thing. shes got a heart still powering a broken body. too full of tumors to function anymore. stomach #streched like a pregnant mother. it happed really fast and now its happening very slow #im somehow probably better off than the rest of them. i only got here for the aftermath of a downslide. my daily life will b least effected #i only really saw her twice a year living so far away and she didnt text much. didnt call often. so life wont change much ill just kno shes #not there. which is sad. but theres nothing to b done abt it. life goes on. it hasnt been all bad tho. its nice to talk to my family abt her #how incredible she was. bc she was. wish her mom wasnt here tho. she doesn't deserve to b here. my mom wouldnt want her here. she didnt want #her here. but anyway. i wish her body would just let her go now. so we can sleep. so this can be over. so she can rest #but even like this shes stubborn and resilient. they say it could go on for days but i hope not. may the universe let her rest shes gotta b #so tired after 10 years of this. but i have no regrets. she knew how i felt abt her. and i dont think she had regrets either. she did so #much up to the very end. went out on a high note without the burdon of knowing it was coming #i dunno. its just such a strange experience to watch the empty shell of your mother sleeping like a gurgling baby #unrelated

Every time that someone credits Taika Waititi for Wellington paranormal - which he had no involvement in - I lose ten years off of my life.

Jemaine Clement is one of my favourite actors and writers and producers and he deserve the credit is is working HARD to deserve.

Edit: wwdits series, too. So much great work

Edit: OFMD, too. Yeah, he’s executive producer. But there was a BOARD of writers, and a creator, and although the fandom was pretty good at crediting Jenkins et al. when I left it, there are so many more people than just Taika Waititi that made the film, which he certainly didn’t do most of, however much I follow his work.

#wellington paranormal #taika waititi #jemaine clement #eagle vs shark was my parents favourite and what got me back into watching movies and kinda just enjoying life again #even though I know thats a waititi movie cos hes also great do NOT get me wrong #but Wellington paranormal has ways comforted me on sad or cold or lonely nights and one if its producers should be actually credited #and well-known for the outSTANDING work that they are doing #cos wow I love that show #and wos Clement is amazing #wwdits #ofmd #wow this list is growing #people really see his name on anything and give all of the credit to him huh #this was a long time coming #Other works he had a more major role in and he got most of the credit which was actually deserved #but as I was following the actors and the other writers I saw that they had no credit despite making these movies that I love and going on #to make incredible things #but that could be ignored cos well it made sense #and I do still love his work #I wouldn't stop now after decades

This one is pretty short say batter notice that the player seems comfortable talking zacharie so when the player left he asked how is the player so comfortable with you. Then zacharie is like "perhaps you should smile abit" but when batter tired to smile it looks like he wants to murder someone XD. Then zacharie is like "😅 I think we need to work on that"

Bonus the player came back to check on batter since batter didn't follow them then they saw zacharie trying to teach batter how to smile like without the murder aura and such . They can't help but to laugh

Amazing idea, as per usual! I would love for nothing more than to make Batter smile myself, he's just such a silly!

Zacharie Teaching Batter how to Smile

“And now you just pull your facial muscles up like this!” With his mask only revealing his mouth, he pointed towards his smile. It looked real enough to fool almost anyone. Such was the reality of a businessman worth his money.

However, what Zacharie saw resembled a monster looking down at its prey, knowing fully well it had won and there was nowhere left to go for the latter. His smile, almost cocky in nature, was that of a victor, about to have the dragon slain, and yet, it was nowhere near that of a genuine smile. But of course, how could it have been? Smiling simply was not needed in a world full of violence where the only goal was to kill and not be killed.

Zacharie sighed, having seen that expression enough times to know there was no harm in it towards him anymore. Leaning against the countertop, he crossed his arms, one finger tapping against his elbow. “You know, you could be such a handsome man if only you smiled a bit more. It wouldn’t hurt in the slightest, amigo.” But Batter still seemed as disinterested as he was before. If it had no point, then it had no use to him.

“Hey guys! What are you-” You poked your head into the building, ready to spend the hard earned credits you found throughout the area. “Oh.” Still, what you saw was nothing less than chill inducing. Yet, knowing Batter as merely an overly serious goofball, you couldn’t help but laugh. “Pfft. Zacharie, is he trying to kill you or something?” With your laugh echoing throughout the building, you were almost afraid of attracting spectres to where you were.

“Far from it, my dear compadre, I’m trying to teach him how to smile.”

“Oh.” You giggled, finding the idea absolutely hilarious. “You could have just asked me, I know of a few ways to get out dear companion and overly stoic sportsman to smile!” Walking up to Batter, you slung an arm around his waist, pulling him closer to you. “You see, him and I have gone through thick and thin, so we’re pretty close and I know all of his secrets. Right, Batter?”

Batter seemed almost embarrassed, pulling his hat down so no one could see his facial expression. You were correct, you knew quite a lot about him, having gone on all kinds of adventures already. But it was almost fair enough that he would get to know you just as well as time went on. “Yes.”

#off (game) #off x reader #zacharie x reader #batter x reader #this is also very platonic #but very good #Oh Speaking of smiling Batter #in CSR there was a smiling Batter sprite and it was the cutest thing #I should add that sprite real quick because hhhhh smiling batter #just gotta find it real quick #there it is the smiling boy #I got so incredibly happy when I saw him smile it was unnatural #see this is what every game should have nowadays: less violence and more smiling batters #he deserves to be happy and I'm gonna make him happy so!

Anne de Pisseleu had exercised a form of power that was intrinsically extra-institutional and dependent entirely of the king’s favor; her role was clearly understood by political insiders. Criticism took the form of conventional hostility to the role of women in power, yet in the king’s lifetime had to be circumspect and oblique. However, she lived more than half her life after the death of the king whose love had given her power and wealth. In this, she weathered the storm of disgrace remarkably effectively, carved for herself a new role and ended her life a moderately wealthy woman whose assets became a matter for ferocious competition among her relatives.

-David Potter, "The Life and After-Life of a Royal Mistress: Anne de Pisseleu, Duchess of Étampes"

#historicwomendaily #Context: She lived for over 70 years and was a royal mistress for only 20 of them (till Francis's death) #anne de pisseleu #french history #16th century #my post #Francis I #queue #I hate how Anne is dismissed and deemed irrelevant after Francis I's death #Most historians merely claim that she was exiled; fell into disgrace and humiliation; and died in obscurity #Kathleen Wellman even goes to say that Anne was shut up by her husband in a gloomy castle for the rest of her life #(And there's always a distasteful tone of wry satisfaction as they say this - as if she was finally 'getting what she 'deserved') #Suffice to say: this idea is objectively incorrect and I hate it #yes Anne DOES seem to have had an incredibly harrowing and horrible experience for a few years after; that should never be overlooked #But as this article says: Anne managed to weather her 'fall' and carve a new role for herself extraordinarily well #It's one of the most interesting things about her life to me #She still had wealth and property which she rigorously administered and expanded; she headed family affairs and arranged marriages; #She and her terrible husband appear to have informally separated (with a formal separation of property) and in his own last will he #flat-out wrote that Anne 'would never take her place as my wife'. She outlived him by around 15 years and 100% got the last laugh. #She also openly embraced Protestantism in the height of the Wars of Religion which was such a major bad bitch move #guaranteeing her both personal protection and material gratification #In fact one of the last known references of her was in 1576 where she hosted a meeting of Protestant leaders in her castle of Challuau #As you can see: Anne transitioned public royal influence to private personal power #But she clearly remained at the heart of politics and war throughout it all and was always relevant

It’s incredibly annoying when people demonize Mono to make Six look better. Like, neither of them should be treated like that, but you shouldn’t have to demonize a kid in order to make a point that your fav isn’t evil.

Anyways, the post I made about demonizing kids? That applies to Mono too. I have a bat with your name on it.

ryuu's always had an innate sense of curiosity to him an intrigue that's just . . . been there but not really pursued until he got swept into the trip to london and became a lawyer

truly, it's the idea of "unlocked potential"

he can be observant when he's actually putting his mind to it (as opposed to being pretty oblivious otherwise) he genuinely does enjoy sorting through mysteries and finding out how things work (both scientifically and psychologically when it comes to figuring people out)

it honestly just took kazuma's influence and unending belief in his abilities to fully engage in them, and said curiosity and thirst for knowledge is only encouraged and amplified by his exposure to the great detective and all the cases they've solved together (๑˘︶˘๑)

#« headcanon » #not me sobbing over the fact that ryuu REALLY started living his life to the fullest #only after all the events of the game unfold #he was just kinda . . . drifting through existence for the most part #then he got caught up in following KAZUMA'S dream #which helped to be a further distraction from figuring out his OWN desires #but he eventually just came to . . . genuinely love what he does ? #whether it's solving mysteries with sholmes or #protecting people who dESERVE it in court -- digging into everything he possibly can to stand for them #listen my gf left on saturday after a two-week visit #i'm coping with my sadness by making myself more sad over fiction #forever dead over the incredible narrative and character arcs of these games like wHAT THE CRAPPOLI

fucking annoyed by matty healy wtf man FUCK performative activism and fuck him

#for those who don’t know: the 1975 performed at the good vibes festival in malaysia #and got banned and later got the ENTIRE festival cancelled for a kiss between two male artists and his (drunken) tirade against the- #-msian govt for their homophobia #yes it’s an act of protest yes the govt deserves to be called out BUT BUT BUT #it is. so incredibly fucking selfish and reeks of performative activism and white saviourism #it’s quite apparent from his actions he doesn’t know or care the reprecussions queer malaysians will face in the wake of his actions #he’s jeopardising the safety of queer malaysians bc they WILL be the scapegoat and face the brunt of the govt’s actions- #-following what he did onstage #the 1975 can easily fuck back off the the UK but queer malaysians will be stuck here facing the consequences of ur selfish actions #AND he’s discouraged organisers from finding queer friendly or queer acts and said acts will be discouraged from coming too #he’s just provoking the govt and making the situation even worse #not to mention the festival??? the organisers and other musicians and ppl who paid and came all the way out to watch this?? #the entire festival is cancelled now wow good job #god. #personal #rant

I finished the special story in Connections and it got me to bawl my eyes out so bad. That story was so much more meaningful and emotional and impactful than the entirety of Naruto itself. What the fuck do you mean it was written by Kishimoto????? He did NOT write something for a side story in one of the ultimate ninja storm games and make it better than anything he's ever done before. There's just no fucking way.

#i fucking hate when filler and non canon side stuff is like. better than canon lmao #and not cuz like. filler doesnt deserve it ooo fuck filler whatever NO!!!!! BECAUSE IF ITS GOOD PEOPLE STILL DONT WATCH AND THEN CALL YOU #A LOSER EVEN BOTHERING WITH FILLER!!!!! FUCK OFF!!!! FUCK NARUTO AND FUCK SASUKE AND YOU KNOW WHAT.

hot take: I didn't love El hitting Angela. Yeah it's satisfying to see a bitch get rocked but the fandom treats it like such a girlboss moment when that really wasn't meant to depict a healthy response. El has a potentially fascinating relationship with violence to explore, so narratively it's fine that that happened except that it kinda went nowhere. I guess she saw that her actions have consequences when she got arrested but then they just dropped it and she didn't seem to think anything of it or grow from it (unless I'm not thinking deep enough thoughts?). I know she had much bigger fish to fry, but I felt like we needed to see her interact with or at least think about Angela one more time to wrap that all up. Idk I love El but the whole bullying arc felt so 2D to me.

#you're SO CORRECT #the way that the bullies in s4 felt so stereotypical and 2D compared to troy and james in s1... yah #while i so support el hitting angela (bc she deserved it) i do think that el didn't really care about the consequences #like. owens got her out of prison so fast! he was like ''oh that's not a problem don't worry about getting arrested'' when really that #should've been a big deal! el needs to learn that she can't just use violence to solve problems #while yes that's how she was trained in the lab. in the real world you can't just go around smacking people in the face #also in 4x01 when she tried to use her powers on angela. was she gonna kill her right there ?? what was her plan #bc el has learned that whatever she does. someone will just make it go away for her #she's gotta be more careful about her actions fr #a hot take perhaps but an incredibly based one <3 #ask sarah
