"#i made sure Guilty Gear Xrd rev2 was out by the time Tale as Old as Time takes place"

I love when people do obscure little research things just to make sure their fic gets it right. Dedication!

TO BE FAIR i am also a bit of a Guilty Gear fan and have absorbed way too much completely deranged lore for somebody who can't do a combo but IT WAS IMPORTANT TO ME. That Hiiro get hit with a dolphin.

"#that one fic everyone praises for its originality#was directly inspired by a music video featuring the gay dudes from the genghis khan music video#so you have the genghis khan dancers to thank for that"

That rules. Best music video ever!

My tags were a little ambiguous (mostly bcus i didn't think anyone would actually read them lol), but this was the actual music video!

I did only watch it bcus it featured the Genghis Khan guys though, and my reaction somehow pinballed from "ooh genghis khan cold war AU video" to "hey them coughing up those doves looks like a weird reskinned hanahaki... hanahaki... what if reverse hanahaki?"

And the rest is history.

#higharollakockamamie #does everyone know that the genghis khan video has a cold war spinoff. do the masses know this?? the world needs to know #i should clarify. the fic was not abt these dudes. the fic was about my own blorbos. this video just gave me the inspo for a weird au lol #also hey man whats up. i dont think we've talked before but we've been mutuals a while. i liked your fics. imagine a thumbs up emoji here

I CAN SHARE THE REST OF MY SILLY DOODLES WITH YALL AAHGHHH --- Please if you havent read that fic yet, give it a read, i PROMISE you its one of the bests out there.

ONE-SHOT: Synonymous With Sacrifice

“Tell me, Your Grace — why do you let yourself be forced to use your healing powers? It would be better for you if you did not, given the toll they take.” — The Temptation Of Saint Anthony, But With This Guy, Chapter 28.

Healing Day comes once a month, and the ill and afflicted line up in droves to receive the blessings of the younger prince of Lucis. There's really just one problem with it, in Cor's opinion — and that problem is the younger prince of Lucis.

A fic set in a loving spinoff of the same universe as @higharollakockamamie‘s The Temptation of Saint Anthony, but with This Guy.

To be fair, “GAAAAAY” as a summation of MGS is not wrong

the franchise can be summarized with:-that pic of the seal yelling “GAAAAAAAAAY”-Kojima screaming in a megaphone “WAR AND NUCLEAR THREAT IS BAD” and then hurling said megaphone straight into the 4th wall- a gif of a cat pushing stuff off a table with Ocelot’s guns and gloves photoshopped on it-”anime was a mistake”

Thank you! I think everything came out pretty well. The baklava in particular were really good this time around. I think I’d like to use more butter than the cranberry tart recipe called for in the crust, but they were still tasty!

Loyal to the Convocation of Fourteen's Story – The Just Man

At a constant speed, the walls move downward as the ground beneath them ascends. A beast stands before them, melded of metal: a quadruped monstrosity. Perched with remarkable steadiness on its shoulder, a man in black speaks, the callowness of his face incongruous with the razors of his voice.

“Allow me.” Ardyn strides forward, lifting his hands. “I speak Villain.”

The robed man says, “The hour is at hand!”

Ardyn says, “To whom it may concern.”
