#heh i don't read or watch anything much. mostly i just play video games and jam to music

[not-poignant]

Is there something about video games as a medium that you enjoy for writing fic? Was just curious bcos I was going thru my bookmarks and the only video game fics were yours, books/tv shows seem to be more common? They're great and I love them btw <3 I just love ur explanations for things haha

Hi hi anon!

Yeah I've written rather a lot of video game fanfics now haven't I?

I didn't really set out to do that, but there is something I really like about video game characters:

They're just not characterised as well as most other characters, lmao, which gives a lot of empty spaces to kind of 'fill them up' with my own development, while they still get to be relatively canon compliant.

Like, I'd say the exception there is Dragon Age: Inquisition, where I played my first file for like 220 hours (without any DLC or killing the end boss) and mostly just was gathering information to build Cullen's and Bull's characters in ways that did keep them canon compliant, but there was still a fuckton of stuff that was missing, that could be completely invented and fabricated.

And I love doing that.

Stardew Valley are the 'thinnest' characters I've ever worked with. They can be summed up as 'he's a jock, but...' or 'he's a goth, but...' or 'he's an alcoholic, but...' and then you just add all 98% of the rest of the character in any direction that you want based off about 40 lines of dialogue.

Anon, I've never even played Detroit: Become Human, I just watched some Let's Plays.

And Hades has a lot of dialogue, but also a LOT of empty spaces in general character and world-building where you just get to make up whatever you like with or without a patchwork of whatever Greek mythology you want to draw from that day.

I have actually written quite a few book and movie fanfics, and a few television shows as well. My favourite fanfics are based off a book series and a movie respectively (that would be The Beast that Chose Its Own Bridle and The Golden Age that Never Was). The story Stuck on the Puzzle used to be my fave, but it's still top 3. :)

I think what I also enjoy is, more than anything, all my video game fanfics are the ones that people say 'you don't need to know anything about the game/story, you can just start reading' the most to. I find I generally don't have to do as much research to get started (I'm really lazy), but I guess you could count me having played Stardew Valley for 1600 hours as research, heh.

#asks and answers #pia on writing #pia on fanfiction #stardew valley is also fun because the characters are pixelated #you can literally imagine them to many degrees however you like #i am actually *very bad* at most video games #one of the reasons i can't write my second Dragon Age fic is actually #that playing Inquisition gives me migraines #and i need to play through Trespasser #but i don't want migraines #so you know

JSE Community Greet thing

I saw this pop up last week when I was sick and told myself I'd do this when I got better. Now that I am better, I figured to do this while it was still in my head! :D

EDIT: There isn't an secret code or anything... its just the coloring won't take to some of the letters for some reason. which is weird since it's all highlighted to me on my dashboard but some of the letters still are missing colors when I try to edit it for some reason

Preferred name: Vix, RifterVix (either or is fine)

Preferred pronouns: She/Her

When did you start watching JSE? God, It's been a long time but like a year or two before the whole Ego thing started, but I was an on and off viewer at the time

Why did you start watching JSE? Why? Because Sean's funny. At first he was a bit too intense, which was why I was on and off, but whenever I did watch him, he never failed to make me smile. So I got drawn more to him over time with that humor

What's your favorite things about the channel?

The strange humor and insults Sean did WAY back. They were some of the weirdest but creative things I have ever heard and made me laugh so much. Then the way he sees things and interprets them when he plays games. And I will admit his accent was a weakness for me in the fact that I loved the way he said certain things because his accent. And I was actually curious of how he came about and it was really cool to learn a bit more. Then the Egos are a favorite thing but are more recent than the other reasons I had. Plus with the Egos, my favorite thing is just... watching explore his creativity and expand upon it more confidence and I can't wait to see where he goes from here.

Do you have a fave ego?

Oh hell yes I do! Anti and Chase. Honestly I love all the Egos, its just those two have more information than the others. Until we get more information on everyone, my current faves are Chase and Anti.

What type of community member are you?

Theorist, first and foremost, I love theorizing and breaking down what clues we have from videos and such. It's a lot of fun to try to guess Sean's story for these Egos.

Also an author, I do like writing short fics of the Septic Egos when I get the inspiration to and have the time to.

I would like to say artist too but I don't have many drawings of Sean/Jack or the Egos. I do have some, but not a lot. I don't have the means to draw on digital anymore so that's why I haven't drawn anymore on that. And... heh, I'm not very confident in my artistic skills, so I just mostly stick with theorizing and writing.

What else do you enjoy?

Oh, like likes? Books for sure, the Dark Series, The School of Good and Evil, Spelled... mostly adventure type of books. God games for sure, Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Monster Hunter, Jak and Daxter, Tales of series, etc.

Are you open to nice messages and new friends?

Very much open for them! That's why I love this community! All the kindness and warmth everyone has to each other and Sean in return with what he does. All the theories we all throw and work together to solve the riddles he leaves in videos. All the fanfics I can read which are cool, the amazing artwork... and just... everyone geeking out over the Egos!

[seventhrounder]

I went thru my folder with old hockey magazines I had saved from around 2011 to 2015 and came across this one and thought it could be a fun to make a post about now in hindsight.

This is Jääkiekko magazine from May 2012, they always have a section of "99 questions with ..." and in this issue they interviewed Teräväinen.

I’ve translated the questions I found interesting under the cut! It ended up being about half of the interview. (*) are my additions.

On the cover "seuraava superjokeri" means the next super joker, he played for Helsingin Jokerit so it's a word play from that. Under, on the blue print it says: "The 17-year-old forward will become a first round draft pick in the summer. The natural goal scorer can dominate in SM-Liiga as soon as next season."

In the 2nd photo the headline and lead paragraph goes:

"A post with dents* - A year ago Teuvo Teräväinen was known only within a small number of hockey insiders. Few passers-by recognize him now either but after a flashy rookie season the Jokerit sensation is on the radar of every NHL team and is a strong contender to become a first round draft pick. Next season with Jokerit the talented second line center will be one of the main talking points in the SM-Liiga."

(*references the net Teräväinen had in his backyard and into which he practiced his shooting)

3. You've been described as a magician, top scorer, wunderkind and a prodigy. What do you think of these descriptions?

TT: Heh, those are some descriptions yeah. What can I really say? Don't really wanna comment on them much.

4. How nervous are you about the Draft?

TT: I try not to be nervous as best as I can. In a way I don't have anything to be nervous about since I don't care which team picks me or at what number I go.

6. Which is stressing you more, English interviews or physical tests?

TT: Maybe both. Bench press (laughs) and English interviews can be tough.

12. How far along have you planned your career with, for example, your parents or your agent?

TT: Haven't really planned things with others but I've thought about them myself. I try to go step by step and not jump too far ahead.

14. How does it feel to be so young with all the star players in Jokerit?

TT: How to say it? I haven't felt like I was young but a part of the team instead. The team's been very good with me and they haven't been looking down at me like: "oh he's young". It's been fun to play in an experienced team.

15. Is there a generational gap between players?

TT: You can see the age difference, older players look older but we're all childish, at least with our topics.

17. What does a 17-year-old do in the sauna nights of the team?

TT: I actually haven't been in any yet. I've always been at national team's camps or something.

19. Did you get the number you wanted?

TT: I did, yeah. I could've taken #18 but Semir (Ben-Amor) has it. But i'm happy with #86, it's good.

23. What are your strengths as a player?

TT: Offensive play and with that playing with the puck, passing, IQ, power play and skill, just the usual skill - skill with hands.

24. And weaknesses?

TT: They are to do with defensive play, strength and physicality. Battles and such but I think I took a step forward last season. That's a good thing.

25. Have you ever been "pressed into a mold" or has your playing style gotten to develop naturally?

TT: As a kid the play was mostly offensive/attacking, I didn't have to think about playing defence. Up until 15 years old, I got to attack pretty freely. Playing defence became more important when I started to play in A-juniors a couple seasons ago.

26. On a scale from 1 to 10 how determined are you?

TT: Maybe 8, feels like an 8.

32. What kind of role are you planning to take with Jokerit next season?

TT: I think a pretty big one. I try to be a top player and not just take others' example but give others example myself too. So that someone in the team can take something out of the way I do things on the ice and off the ice.

35. If you could pick anyone, who would be your car driver?

TT: Nico Manelius for sure. He's been my driver this season. I've had others too, like Riku Hahl but he's not nearly at the same level. Nico’s clearly the best.

36. What are the most important qualifications to be a good driver?

TT: The car is obviously important. Hahl's car is totally awful, he takes a lot of heat for it from the guys too. I wouldn't dare driving with him. Manelius is a steady performer, never lets you down.

38. What sports did you play as a 10-year-old?

TT: Hockey and floorball, probably football (soccer) during the summers at the time too.

42. When did you decide to focus only on hockey?

TT: So when I stopped playing other sports? Three years ago, before that floorball was kind of a side thing, I played a couple of games in the regular season and playoffs.

45. Do you follow floorball or other sports? Go to games?

TT: I don't go to games but I like to watch floorball on TV, it's an interesting sport. Sometimes I watch football too but I don't follow it much. Feels like they never score there.

47. Have you ever played with a wooden stick?

TT: As a kid I did play with a wooden stick.

49. You won the hockey players' golf tournament last summer even though there were more experienced players too. Are you good with all stick games?

TT: Well, I've been pretty good in all of them. I've played golf for a long time and still play it.

50. How is your swing?

TT: Pretty bold, kind of a hockey swing. I don't really care where the ball goes - as long as it goes far.

52. What do you think of off-ice training?

TT: Let's just say it's more stupid than being on the ice but you still gotta do it to be better on the ice.

56. Which word describes your professional relationship (with his coach, Tomek Valtonen), tranquil or colorful?

TT: Colorful of course. At times we're joking around, other times it's more serious but the relationship is really good.

57. Coaching you has been described in many words: good, bad, worse. What are they?

TT: Heh, well... I won't tell them here. He (Tomek) keeps the discipline during practices but sometimes when things haven't gone to a plan I've had to jump on an exercise bike in the middle of a practice.

58. What have been the reasons?

TT: I'll quote Tomek: "when I haven't been present".

59. Have you ever tried to turn the resistance of the bike to zero?

TT: (Laughs) Of course I have and sometimes I've even succeeded.

60. Describe your diet in three words?

TT: Greasy, healthy and good!

64. Your first name is not common for people your age. How did your parents come up with it?

TT: I actually don't even know. Maybe they didn't want a usual Ville*....

(*very common name for men of all ages in Finland)

66. Which of these is the most important: skill, unexpectedness or courage?

TT: Skill!

68. Your longest video game stint?

TT: Six hours, at least. I've played a lot of War of Duty lately.

72. The dumbest thing that has made you upset in hockey?

TT: Probably if I didn't get an assist on a goal even though I should have. Or even worse is if I score and they mark it down for someone else.

79. Have you had any concussions?

TT: I haven't had any, I've managed to always dodge them.*

(*ouch, tho it's good the recent one is his only as far as i remember)

84. In 2011 Team Finland finished in the 5th place at the U-18 tournament. Why only as 5th?

TT: Because we lost to Team Russia in the quarter final, just as well we could have won that game too.

89. You didn't get to be on the ice to accept the SM-Liiga bronze medal (because of the U-18's). When and where did you get it?

TT: I actually still haven't received it, I don't know where it is.

93. What is the population of Helsinki?

TT: There's like 5 million people in Finland so maybe around 500k in Helsinki? (to be exact 596k) Did i really get it right...?

94. Who's the mayor of Helsinki?

TT: I don't know, I barely know the president.

95. Do you think the municipalities in the capital city area should merge?

TT: Luckily I don't have to decide but they probably shouldn't.

96. What do you check first in the news paper?

TT: The sports section.

97. Your favorite tv show?

TT: Putous* was pretty good, I liked a lot of the characters. The grandma was pretty good.

(*Finnish live improvisation comedy/sketch show (there are still new seasons, the latest just finished). Every actor comes up with a humor character with a catchy phrase and one of them wins. "The grandma" is Marja Tyrni and I just got such flashbacks from typing this sentence.)

98. Last book you read?

TT: I don't read many books. The last book was a study book, a Finnish book. I wrote an essay on Tiki (Esa) Tikkanen's biography. An eventful book, great career and a lot of chirps.

99. Who should we ask the 99 questions next?

TT: Riku Hahl could have good stories, he's also seen a lot of the world.

#teuvo teräväinen #teuvo teravainen #carolina hurricanes #canes #hockey #nhl #mp #i knew i had this mag but i thought it was from 2014 and post draft #i really didn't rmbr i've been following turbo for this many years??? #good on 16yo me for spending 8 euros on this tho that was excellent thinking

Hi everyone👋😃 There are a few things I I look up before I worked on this character x reader story😁👍 I will admit it does have a little comedy in it but I figured pick the genre that I figured would most fit that character x reader story😁👍

The 31 days without sex challenge and rules (Denki Kaminari x reader- +18: talk of sex and maturbation)

Genre:Smut

"Since we're alone in the park now, what is it you wanna tell me?", Denki asked. You answered,"Well Denki, we both know how long we've been together and that the both of us enjoy sex. Well the thing is that we're gonna try this game. We both gotta go without sex for 31 days.". "What?! This can't be!", Denki shouted in shock.

"I knew you wouldn't cope well with this, but you have to understand. Yes I enjoy sex just as well as you do but we have been having a lot of sex during our time together at eachothers' houses lately and I wanna see if we can make it without sex without screwing up for 31 days."."That's insane!", Denki cried,"You know I have my urges!". So he asked some questions to you and you explained to him what counts as sexual and what doesn't count as sexual. Then you said "You can use the pocket pussy sex toys, and read those mangas, watch certain videos, and masturbate, but makesure you don't tell any1, including me that you were doing those things, because telling people this would be considered sexual too."

"Also too I'm gonna add the rule that we shouldn't be talking about this subject anymore, because that will make us fail.", you explained. Then you talked to Denki about how everytime you or Denki slip up it would be another month added on to it and once you and/or him slip up about 12 times then things won't be so good. "1 more question. Are we still on a month or 2 months?", Denki asked. "Still 31 days and this will be the last question you will ask me pertaining to this subject.", you said before you winked. Then you said, "Good luck cutie pie", before you kissed Denki on the cheek, as he blushed.

"Oh God! This is bad! What am I gonna do?" Denki cried. "I can't even last 3 days without sex for how much I'm used to having sex with her.", Denki cried. Sero heard every word Denki said so he went to talk to Denki. "You know I have been hearing complain about going without sex. So if you wanna at least lower your sexual urges so bad I have some ideas on how to do so." Then Denki asked, "What are the ideas and what do you mean?", so Sero explained to Denki the best he can on what he suggests Denki what to eat, drink, and take.

"Heh heh heh", you went. "There's no way Denki will be able to last an hour without any sexual urges at all.",you said to yourself. Then you go,"We'll see how this pans out for him.", as you plotted about how Denki will slip up.

7 sexless days has passed. You were coping very well without anything pertaining to sex so far, as for Denki, he still isn't coping well, but he's been occupying his mind off of the sex stuff. He's been mostly playing his favorite zombie maps from his favorite video games. It maybe keeps his mind off the sex but it doesn't keep his mind off of you.

16 sexless days has passed. Denki did exactly what Sero suggested for him on how to lower his sexual urges the day you and Denki started to go without sex so he can come over to visit you without worrying how to screw up so he's been eating chocolate and other foods, herbs, and spices that lower his sexual urges. As for you, you're still coping super well, but you couldn't stop thinking about Denki. You said to yourself, "Maybe I should go visit Denki to see how he's doing?". As you're about to leave your own house through the front door, you opened the door to see Denki with a bouquet of your favorite flowers for you. You're so excited to see Denki just as well as Denki's so excited to see you. The both of you hugged and fast kissed eachother on the lips. You both finally managed to get 1 visit without sex in months.

25 sexless days has passed. Thanks to everything that Denki has been occupying himself with, including eating chocolate and everything else he has been eating to kick sexual urges completely to the curb. You were still coping well but you're having a little a harder time with going without sex than you expected. What's wrose for you is that you're cramping, so you called Denki that you're cramping then he goes, "Um... Where...?Depending on where you're cramping you can't talk about it, because depending on what type of cramps you're talking about, I think it's sexual and it will make us fail.". So you told Denki "Nevermind. Just forget I said any of that part.". "Okay.", said Denki.

The 31st day came and Denki invited you to spend the night at his house. So he gathered every food product that lowers the sexual urges including chocolate. Not that he eats and drinks the stuff to kill sex drive completely, but he does this where it only reduces sexual urges. As for you, you still were having trouble going without a sexual thing. You didn't even put your hands on yourself sexually. You thought you can completely handle going without a sexual thing, but you were wrong, so you decided to touch every part of your breasts including your nipples in the bathroom for a couple minutes then you started to finger yourself. You have been wondering in your own head how Denki managed to go this long without any sex.

As you continue to masturbate you said to yourself,"I just don't get it. How the hell he managed to not slip up like I expected him to? Not even an ounce of sexual urge in him not matter how hard I tried to get him to slip.". Then you went,"But with me it's harder than I thought. It's not fair.", and the next you know you ended up fingering yourself with 3 fingers and with your thumb on top your outer clit then you kept moaning Denki's name until you cum.

Meanwhile Denki is getting dinner ready and had the chocolate and the other stuff ready. A few minutes later you arrived at Denki's place. You and Denki both got so excited to see eachother.

After Denki finished cooking dinner for you and himself you said,"Hey Denki, I have a question."."Okay, then.", Denki said. "How did you managed to go 31 days without any sexual urges at all? Not even an ounce.", you mentioned. Denki then asked,"You seen eat chocolate, take sleeping pills, and drink valerian tea. Right?"."Of course I do Denki. Why did you ask?", you said curiously and a little confused. "That's what's helping me resist and fight my sexual urges.", he said with both thumbs up."You kidding me.", you said with that shocked look on your face. "Nope. I learned how to manage without sex with all of these I was telling you about seconds ago", Denki said keeping his thumbs up with a big smile on his face as he gave you a wink."I should have known", you laughed.

Then you continued, "How'd you know all this, Denki."."Sero helped out with that.",Denki answered,"He heard me complain about not being able to go a few days without any sexual urges, so he suggested all these for me."."Oh. I'm impressed with you Denki.", you said as you kissed Denki "Wanna know a secret Denki? I only mentioned for both of us to go 31 days without sex, because I was testing you", you continued while laughing. Well Denki got pissed and shocked for only a few minutes, because he felt tricked, but he knew you have your reasons. So the rest of the night you and Denki ended up kissing eachother.

The End
