i need to share the absolute fucking Experience i had playing minecraft tonight. i'm gonna be emotional about it for days
so me and my friends like to play on this server that's pretty much just a bunch of minigames. one of them is Murder Mystery - of a group of - i think its 13/14 people - one person is randomly selected as the murderer (spawns with a sword), the other as the sheriff (spawns with a bow). the rest are innocent. the innocents can gain a bow by collecting coins. no one knows anyone's status unless the player shows their sword/bow. i'm doing a quest where, in order to get points, i need to kill the murderer.
so as the game start countdown begins, me and my pal are checking out this Red Link skin. it's pretty neat! we're all crouching and punching at each other, as one does. i feel a connection form with Red Link. we're buddies now. we're in this together.
so we're all running around the map. every time i see Red Link, we crouch and punch at each other. the game is going fine, we're having fun. i'm delighted that i've made a one-game friend.
then my friend says that Red Link is the murderer, and i literally have a hard time believing it. Red Link? my Red Link? no, they must be mistaken. we were together at the start. they had ample opportunities to kill me. it can't be Red Link. but whoever the murderer killed was the sheriff, and i needed to complete the quest - picking up the sheriff tombstone grants me the bow.
so i run, trying to find it, and i turn the corner.
there Red Link was, standing at the end of the hall, by the tombstone, with a sword in hand. i froze. i was so upset - not Red Link! not my dear companion! i was so sure that was it.
but i walked forward anyway, thinking that maybe if i dodged around them, grabbed the bow, and turned and shot fast enough, i could get them. the thought was actually distressing! Red Link didn't put the sword away. they watched me slowly approach. we stood on either side of the tombstone, and i expected Red Link to cut me down. i was well within reach of their sword.
Red Link calmly, still looking at me, moved to the side and past me. i panicked and grabbed the bow, ran to the corner, turned and drew - Red Link was already at the other end of the hall, running away. i didn't want to shoot, but i needed the kill - who knows when i'd get an opportunity to complete the quest again. it's a tough one.
i missed, thank fuck, but man. i was in shock. i thought i was a goner.
then, after the game where awards are given - the murderer, who killed them, who collected the most coins - i went up to Red Link and crouched. they crouched back.
then they left the game.

dedicated to the fantastic @cozy-fish-crow who was complaining that xe hadn’t seen any posts on xyr dash about Wilhelm’s snowglobe: another incoherent post by Abram!
So i absolutely agree that we have absolutely not talked enough about Wilhelm’s snowglobe so I’m doing that now. Bear with me.
We talked before about how the frog snowglobe represents how Wilhelm is confined in the role of prince, even more so as Crown Prince, and i think having the snowglobe shatter in ep2 is beautiful and poetic and very very necessary in telling the story.
Following the metaphor, this is the moment when Wilhelm begins to break free from everything. To this point, we’ve already seen a few things that hint at it (ignoring his mother, his plans against August) but this is a very big turning point for Wilhelm’s story. This is the moment he sees that there are limits even he can break, where the crown will truly turn against him. He’s been burnt by the royal court before, but those moments paled in comparison. Really, sending him to Hillerska was one of the only things the royal court ever truly made him do and there was nothing physical in it. The denial, while not what he had wanted, was still technically something he was coerced into giving, not forced.
This is the first time real force is being used against Wilhelm.
It’s this shattering of how he had seen the world around him. Disillusionment. The walls that are holding him back are fragile. Small things are huge threats. He had threatened abdication, but aside from ignoring his mother’s call the next morning we don’t see Wilhelm actually moving to make it reality. He was having a breakdown, I don’t think Wilhelm even truly believed in his own threats. But he’s seeing now how serious it is to the royal court, that they would take these steps to try and prevent something he hadn’t actually meant.
[Side note: the one time Wilhelm does consider actually abdicating is for Simon.]
It’s in this moment that Wilhelm agrees to go to therapy, something that we know has a huge effect on him by the end of the season. From here, we see him improving. He starts to step back, assess what’s happening around him, and slowly he starts seeing the bigger picture. We see his growth after this moment as he begins to learn to see other people’s perspectives (Felice’s, after their kiss, when he takes a moment to think about what she said, about how she felt. Simon’s, as he tries to understand where Simon is coming from, and he strives to give Simon options and to let him in and let him know what’s happening.)
It comes together in the end, when he yells at his mother. “It’s not enough! Can’t you see that?” And she can’t. Kristina still clutches to the visage of the crown. But Wilhelm has seen it broken, has finally come to understand that what’s underneath that is what’s important.

Why do creepy things hide behind a veneer of innocence!?
This is like the the millionth time now that my morbid curiosity has led me to discover something terrifying! You know what I think doesn't help? All these online horror games and stories hide behind children's content. By tying themselves to something innocent and charming, they confuse me into looking it up. And once you look something like that up, I can't escape it! There's a reason I wish every horror writer and creator would drop dead: it's because every single thing terrifies me! And if you're making something scary, make it clear it's a horror story! It shouldn't be that hard!!! Why is this a problem I've consistently had to face since I turned 4!?

Madoka rebellion thoughts
so i was watching someone talk about Madoka rebllion and he went into detail about the scene where madoka and homura talk in the flower field. well i noticed the lines talking about how madoka would never make a decision that would make it so she could never see anyone ever again. especially knowing how sad it would make everyone. it’s no debate that this conversation is what drove homura to make the decision she did at the end
but i started looking at the wording of that again. the way they kept emphasizing how madoka would never make a decision where she could never see everyone again.
nd i realized....she didn’t. the big wish she made at the end of the series? she will still eventually see everyone again when she purifies them. she never made a wish that would leave her aloe. she exsists at all times all at once. and is with all the magical girls she saves.
homura misunderstood what happened
just 1 interpretation at least

fic advice?
so i have an idea for a linked universe fic where the chain meet wind because he saves them from the temple of the ocean king. aka, the temple that without the phantom hourglass/sword will SLOWLY DRAIN THE LIFE OUT OF YOU
the problem i have is...why would the chain just not turn back when they felt what he temple was slowly doing to them? like it should not be hard to realize you are starting to feel weaker and weaker the longer you’re in the temple.
(i don’t know if bellum was reason the temple did that but for the sake of this fic i can pretend he wasn’t)

Time and Wild headcannon
I think Time and Wild both suffer from bad cases of insomnia. this is because even when they know it’s unrealistic both of them are afraid of sleeping too long again. they’re afraid of losing everything by falling asleep again.
Time has had years to get this under control but he still suffers from sleepless nights sometimes. meanwhile wild just finished his adventure recently and so this is a major issue and he often needs to be reassured that he won’t sleep too long. he won’t miss anything by sleeping.
Time is the only one who can really comfort wild when he has these panic attacks because he knows exactly what he’s going through.

The fact that Splatoon 3 is not in my hands at this very second is a crime.
