me: yay magneto leading the x-men beautiful redemption story
me five minutes later: I never trusted you for a moment villainous magnetic evil guy! everything the writers set up is so obvious
me next episode: unless...?
just a silly little reminder
ron was (probably) never able to properly heal from the trauma Willy caused him, not just because he had blocked some of it out and was thrown back into it (see here) but then also because for the rest of his life he had to live knowing Willy was some forty floors beneath him but that thing he helped create took over the sky above him too and finally its too much one day Ron makes a decision and goes out to the lake his dad died in in a boat his nephew leant him with a bottle of beer he couldn’t stand to drink and a pair of shorts he could never wear and then ron is never seen again
and maybe just maybe in his final moments of living, the only thought that comes as a comfort to Terry Jr.’s mind is maybe he’ll see his dad again
and then he dies
As I was laying in bed last night, my mind decided to be creative and came up with some interesting creatures that would inhabit make believe.
First up, a Simulacrum. These take the form of a large, gray slug that resembles molding clay. If a Simulacrum were to encounter someone, they would begin to mold themselves into that person, albeit in a more warped way (think Fake Peppino from Pizza Tower). Over time, they will eventually adapt and transform into more perfect copies.
They do this because they desperately wish to be something better than they currently are. While Simulacrums aren't dangerous per sé, they do end up causing a whole lot of issues for the person they're copying, as they would do things that the person they're copying wouldn't ordinarily do. Because of this, those in make believe tend to steer clear of areas that are known to have Simulacrums out and about.
They are such an underrated platonic pairing and I wish we saw more because they got along so nicely 😭
They definitely have a sweet tooth and love to try new pastries. They particularly love Christmas sweets and cakes, mostly because of Will's influence when they were children. Lucie told Thomas about some of the mundane Xmas traditions and he finds them interesting!
They often ride on a tandem bicycle in Hyde Park from time to time (it was a gift from Alastair, and they also ride together!). Sometimes Lucie can't keep up because she's too short, so Thomas has to ride all the way back to the London Institute... 😅
Lucie taught Thomas how to ride a horse, but in this case, he can't really keep up with her, who is a skilled horse rider. He doesn't care, though. Because soon, no one will be able to ride horses in London anymore so Lucie's horse riding days are counted. lol
They like to share gossip. They don't badmouth people, of course. They just tell each other what they overheard during events (they do share a mutual distaste for the Wentworths and the Pouncebyes and they are often the talk of the town).
They tell each other a lot of funny jokes and laugh at them for hours because they keep repeating them. Other people don't really understand the jokes or they don't find the jokes funny at all (their partners really try to laugh but sometimes they can't help but look at each other and shrug because they don't see the appeal of that joke)
Torturing my characters with painful prophetic visions is a full time job, it doesn’t pay well, and it’s dishonest work but... wait where was I going with this? Oh right *is suddenly struck by a glimpse into the future that instantly knocks me out cold and prevents me from finishing the post*
So I realised that because the canon of Fashion Dreamer is that we're all in a virtual world, the NPCs may not even be truthful to who they are. The aliens and demons are probably just humans. That's a bit sad to realise.
Except for Interstellar Isaac. That's definitely an octopus.
What do you wear when you have to dress nicely? (4)
Okay it's really just a toss up of where I'm going. For some I would just wear dress pants and a shirt and blazer. Really usually that. But I do sometimes wear a dress (usually with a blazer or leather jacket).
