Xavier had spent the entire day doing paperwork. He was tired, but he knew he still had to do the laundry and the dishes. He slowly got up and walked into the kitchen to find Victor and clean dishes. “Ah, Vic? Did you do that?”

Despite the judgement of her two companions, Kanai spent some time looking into the cases of an organization that she knew to be working or at least affiliated with Ultimate Despair. Once she got a location, she made sure her accomplices would keep to their own work as she went to make contact with the surviving member.

-->Victor and Shadow eventually came back from their jog, with Victor in particular looking, uh, a little worse for wear. XD Fortunately, being a spellcaster with a bent for Practical Magic meant that one little Scruberoo and he was fine. Shadow went to spend some time with Alice (recently returned to human form after an unsuccessful scavenge outside) while Victor got on tending his cowplant (which has already evolved up to nice quality!) and fixing the wind turbines (because, as usual, some were busted -- I swear, these are some of the objects that break the most in the game). Discovered in the process that, while Victor was fine using Repairio on the turbines, he could NOT use Floralorial on the cowplant! They're apparently immune to magic. O.o Odd decision, but I guess since they're kind of half-plant, half-animal, maybe magic just doesn't know where to have them...is there anything in the official lore about this?

-->Anyway -- Alice went in to start the laundry while Smiler, fresh off cleaning the cowshed (as we didn't want THAT to get stinky either), released both Bugs and Elmer into the garden to help Victor with the tending! Because hey, this greenhouse has gotten big enough that we probably DO need two robots and a spellcaster taking care of it. XD Smiler then went up to do a quick tech review on the video station as per the latest Simstube trends (giving their opinion on the Wabbit Tablet, apparently), while the bots took care of the weeding, watering, and bug-spraying, and Victor took care of the harvesting. (Well, what harvesting was left...you see, I actually played the first few hours of this update in a separate play session, and I saved and quit just as the garden became harvestable -- and when I came back to complete the day, almost ALL of the produce had ended up in the household inventory again. -.- I really wish they'd do something about that bug, especially since it is SUCH a pain the ass to try and get it OUT of the household inventory and into Sim inventories where it can be used...) Victor then moved onto checking on the chickens while Alice, fresh from cleaning up the kitchen and howling to keep the old Fury down, went to see how Moory was. . .

-->And it was around this time that I got the notice that the big event would be starting in an hour at 11 AM! So after having Victor socialize a bit with the flock and collect the eggs (all poor-quality hatchable ones! That's it, there needs to be a culling at some point), and Alice give Moory a good cleaning, a chat, and a snack, I had the gang set out to their special wedding venue...

#sims 4 #the lazy save #victor van dort #alice liddell #smiler always #valicer #sims valicer wedding #yeah I played this update in two parts over the long Fourth of July weekend #and I was VERY ANNOYED to discover all that produce int he household inventory #retrieving it was such a pain that I've already resolved never to do it again #if anything pops in there it just gets straight up sold #that's also a bit of a pain but LESS of one #please stop doing that Sims 4 #and yeah there is no magic option at all for cowplants that I could see O.o #I'm guessing it's because they're such a special type of plant #but tis weird #then again Floralorial is of limited use as a spell anyway #since you can only do one plant at a time #if there was an 'area of effect' version that would be MUCH more useful #someone inform me if I have missed something there #and yes utterly done with those chickens producing nothing but hatchable eggs #currently the gang is busy with their honeymoon in my game #but once they're back on the farm and back to their normal routine #there will be a RECKONING chickens #queued

The big difference between TFP and TFA Megatron is that the latter didn't dump Intelligence. (Granted, his Dump stat is probably WIS, but not INT. TFA's a very smart Megatron-just doesn't always pass his WIS saves.)

TFA Megatron would likely still raise the dead to stop the Autobots, but he wouldn't do so by shoving a lump of highly corruptible material into his own Spark. (The Allspark was an exception because it was the Allspark, and he was this close to achieving his plans. And he survived it blowing up anyway, so he can clearly take the damage.)

No, he'd either yeet the Dark Energon into a Cybertonian graveyard and book it out of there, or send it to a scientist and have them create a reliable means of doing so.

I think a major difference between TFA and TFP Megatron is that TFP Megs appears to be growing tired and frustrated by the war. In TFA, the war is over, while in TFP it's still ongoing, with no clear victor in sight.

While TFA Megatron might feel bitter about the decepticons losing to the autobots, he can now focus on regaining strength and growing his army.

Meanwhile, TFP Megatron can still win the war. Victory is in reach yet he just can't seem to reach it. At the same time, the autobots could also win and that puts a lot of pressure on him. This must be super aggravating situation and any chance of gaining the upper hand must be incredibly tantalizing for him.

Citizens of Panem, behold: Perseus Odair, the victor of the 67th Annual Hunger Games and Panem's youngest victor to date!

Perceus Odair caused quite a stir when his name was announced at the 67th Reaping Ceremony , as his brother Capitol darling , Finnick Odair was the victor of the 65th Games only two years earlier . He showed incredible swordsmanship skills , his sword being the key to his victory . He also caused quite a commotion , as he seemingly had a reputation for having a sharp tongue . We sat down with the boy to ask him about his victory .

INTERVIEWER. Perseus Odair , I believe we should start with congratulations for emerging as not only the victor , but the youngest victor that Panem has ever seen . This was a record previously held by your brother , Finnick . How does it feel to take this title from him ?

PERSEUS. I mean , I'm just thankful to be alive , really . I'm thankful that we're both alive .

INT. Oh , come on , Mr . Odair . You must be quite proud of yourself !

PERSEUS. Not really ?

INT. Why not ?

Perseus Odair was overcome by emotion , unable to answer the question .

INT. Let's move on to a different question , then . We all witnessed your brother filling the role of being your mentor for the games . How was that for you ?

PERSEUS. I wouldn't have made it without him . If there is one thing I'm thankful for , it's that my brother was with me every step of the way until I was sent into the arena .

We attempted to reach out to Finnick Odair for a statement , but was told that he was unavailable at this time . Citizens of Panem can catch Perseus on his Victory Tour through the districts .

"He didn't invite you because he doesn't like you." Victor crossed his arms "why are you here! I am Xavier's other husband."

“He has no reason for hating me. Tell them, rapo. Please.”

Xavier just sighed. “I don't want to see you, nor hear you, nor know you're even alive. Get out of my house. Now. I don't want to repeat myself. And while I might be to weak to drag you out, I'm sure Vic has no problem with that.”

꒰ 🗒 series m.list | prev. chapter | next chapter ꒱

you didn’t know how to confront the weird feeling in your chest.

since you were little, you had read so many romance books—a royal ruler falling for a knight, enemies growing into lovers, a universe in which a red string tied two strangers—to the point where their plotlines blurred and jumbled together. you watched the tension between childhood friends, love triangles with a painfully obvious victor, and marriages of convenience…

…so romance should be right up your alley… right?

wrong. very wrong. now that you had been thrust into a scenario yourself, you didn’t have the slightest clue what to do about the chaos in your chest, which only metastasized at the thought of gorou…

…so were you going to catch your breath, keep creating as much distance as possible between you and him, and try to figure out the next course of action?

yup—

“reader!”

your heart plummeted into your stomach at that voice.

you spun around to see the general climbing up the stairs, skipping a few at a time, and anchoring his gaze to you the whole way. he stopped on the landing with his chest heaving up and down as you grappled with your fight-or-flight response.

shit shit shit shit shit

his eyes a bit pleading, gorou shouted from below, “may i accompany you wherever you’re going?” this exclamation turned more heads than a person could count, and you knew right there and then that this would be the talk of the town for a while.

“is that… the general of the watatsumi army?”

“what business would he have with mr. yamamoto’s editor?”

“sir gorou…!” you exclaimed. “long time, no see! um, i’m actually sort of on a tight schedule…”

gorou completely straightened up, including his ears. “...do you not wish to see me?”

the murmurs diffusing through the spectators on the street died down so that they could catch what would happen next. chewing the inside of your lip, you balked at the prospect of even speaking to gorou right now and casted a nervous glance at your hand that was resting on a whitestone standing lamp. it was the same hand that an inazuman vagrant kissed tenderly and that an inazuman general held a number of times.

and it was growing very, very clammy. all eyes were riveted to the scene that you—a background character with “so much work…” popping up above your head every few seconds as a dialogue box—were starring in. the game developers had left you with a script you stuck to verbatim, but you were never trained to improv! how much fun was it for the gods of celestia to watch this non-playable character get hurled out of a frying pan and into the fire? to watch them try, like a cat, to catch a laser and then slam into a bunch of obstacles?

and how was it possible for you to be associated with so many vision bearers despite being born with a natural hair color and both parents in the picture?

oh, archons, you just wanted to live peacefully.

tl;dr no, you did not want to see gorou. not right now.

your lack of a response dispirited gorou greatly. his insecurity snowballed because of how he was portraying himself in front of all these people, but he was even more worried that he had somehow discomfited you.

the kiss…

gorou smacked a hand over his mouth in mortification. it must have been the kiss from last month, which definitely lost him sleep during most nights at fort fujitou. as expected, gorou had put a nail into his own coffin by acting on a hare-brained impulse that fateful day, but since he couldn’t just keel over and die right now, he whirled around to head back to kokomi, the one who always had the answer.

“wait, gorou!” you burst out unthinkingly. your feet began scampering down the steps but missed one in the process. arms flailing about, you screamed and closed your eyes for the worst as you sailed right toward the stair landing gorou was on.

“reader!”

you plowed straight into the watatsumi general, who tried his best to steady you, but the impact toppled over and smashed you both into the ground, knocking the wind out of your lungs. with his arms around your middle and your hand clutching the back of his head to break his fall, this made for a very compromising position for all of inazuma city to see you two in.

“ugh…” he pried one eye open to see that your eyes were still screwed shut, and you were as motionless as a rock on top of him. gorou was attacked by a serious sense of déjà vu from this predicament and couldn’t help but snort.

it became a tradition for us to collide head-on when we meet, gorou noted.

“s-sorry, that… wasn’t supposed to happen,” you exhaled lamely while peeping at him, but he didn’t appear irritated or agitated that he was in this mess with you. rather, gorou looked…

…quite happy to see you. painted in the place of his mouth was a little curve with a canine tooth sticking out on the side. 

how can someone be this adorable?

blushing madly, you slapped your hands over his face to obscure his vision.

“ah, what—!?” gorou abandoned your waist and tried to peel your hands off, but they wouldn’t budge.

“d-don’t look at me!” you exclaimed, which caused him to loosen his clamp that was snaked around your wrists.

“why…?" gorou asked, frazzled. "a-are you okay, reader?”

all the bystanders did not intend to indulge in the whys and wherefores of how you two ended up like that and were still like that. damn, they’re shameless, they all thought with contempt.

however, the sudden visit of the guuji had everyone burying their heads in the sand. their deep-seated fear of becoming her next victim superseded their nosiness.

“oh, what do we have here?” crooned a melodious voice at the top of the stairs. you practically snapped your neck to see who the owner of that voice was, and gorou sat up so fast that he narrowly missed bonking your head.

“a general and an editor?” the pink-haired shrine maiden chuckled into her hand. “quite an interesting pair.”

“guuji yae!” you shrieked in astonishment as gorou snarled at the same time, “you!”

and two interesting reactions, yae observed with a hint of a smile as she descended down the stairs in all her glory. “spare me a fraction of your time, will you?”

I just realized Fred and Ted have rhyming names and similar glasses and idk how but I will proce lgbt Ted with this information and I don't even fucking know whether I'm serious

YES!! AND ITS SO INTERESTING!!! BECAUSE BARB’S GLASSES ARE ALSO VERY SIMILAR!! Barb’s are basically like a cross between Fred and Ted’s!

And Fred and Ted both have very similar hairstyles too! And the fact that Nancy doesn’t mention Ted when she talks about what she saw in her vision…. And the fact that Fred’s vision was not only about the car accident itself but also about failing to help to other person- the burning car is a parallel to Victor Creel’s burning cradle. Not just because they’re both in fire but because they’re both about inaction. Victor didn’t light the cradle on fire intentionally, didn’t know there were civilians inside when he called for the bombing, but he failed to help the infant once he knew what was happening. He just stood there and watched, much like how Fred failed to get help for the other person int he car accident, ended up dying. Ted Wheeler is not only also paralleled with Victor Creel (especially with the long list of Creel-Wheeler parallels in general), but he also tends to just watch things happen, much like both Fred and Victor, his inaction and ignorance is his core flaw.

What’s also interesting to me though is that although we have this ignorance/inaction parallel with both Fred and Ted, how does Barb fit in? Well, Barb’s on the other side of the inaction, she was the one calling for Nancy and Nancy was the one who ignored it. Nancy was the one ignoring things/not taking action. She heard Barb calling for her, but didn’t realize that it was Barb. Nancy is repeating Ted’s ignorance in some ways, especially with how she talked to Jonathan in S3 regarding his “Oliver Twist routine,” and how in S1 it’s pointed out that Nancy is ignorant to many of the realities of world & thinks she’s rebelling when in reality her rebellion is exactly what every suburban girl her age does. That’s not to say that Nancy is fully ignorant, because she isn’t, she’s smart and perceptive, but that’s because she’s grown as a person and as a character and has learned from her mistakes. Barb’s death is Nancy’s burning cradle/burning car, hence Barb’s costuming ties to Fred and Ted (and therefore to Victor bc of the Ted-Victor and Fred-Victor parallels). And this inaction isn’t done out of malice (Fred wasn’t trying to kill the other guy, for example), but it DOES have consequences. Victor seems frozen when he stares at the cradle, but frozen or not, the child was still left to suffer because nobody (including victor) intervened. This ties into Ted too, with how he isn’t actively hateful the way that somebody like Lonnie is, but his ignorance and inaction contribute to that sort of hatred.

I’m sure there’s more to it too, but that’s what came to mind!

𝐢.   introduction. 

Name: Dominic King Age: 32 Faceclaim: Trevante Rhodes Neighborhood: Riveroak Farms Occupation: Owner of The Red Rabbit & Early Rise Gym

𝐢𝐢.   biography. 

car accident tw, death tw

With nothing but a name from his parents, Dominic King entered life in an orphanage at just over a year old when his parents were killed in a tragic car accident and there being no next of kin to take the young Dominic. Life for him became a revolving door of foster homes, most finding his aloof behavior and lack of willingness to connect a problem. It went on for years until at 16, Dominic jumped off the merry-go-round of it all and set out to street life on his own with the friends he had made. The teenager had long been a hooligan by that point, running with a youth gang he was brought into and finding a sense of unity amongst the young boys that varied in their teenage years. It was the closest he had felt to what a family bond could have or might have been, considering the boys his brothers.

Trouble seemed to find him and the crew always but while Dominic wasn’t all that tall, he was athletically built and strong. He had a maturity about him beyond his years so when it came to fighting with rivals or people that simply didn’t want to put up with their wild behavior, Dominic almost always came out the victor. He attained a natural instinct when it came to fighting and that coupled with his physical capabilities, Dominic began fighting in an underground circuit for the monetary prize. It was another way to put food in his stomach and assure another day of survival as life on the streets could be brutal. He used some of his winnings to pay for training at an actual gym with boxing and MMA coaches, anything to give him the upper hand and also he entertained ideas of pursuing a career as one or the other.

Life had other ideas for Dominic and once hitting the club scene, finding himself swimming in both drugs and women like never before, partying became his way of spending most of his time. He still trained but Dominic had outgrown the boys he ran with. Other interests had a hold of him and his body began filling up with tattoos and piercings. He DJ’d around the city, did some occasional modeling, and picked up a camera becoming an amateur photographer. The other thing in his life that was setting him free of the shackles the street had on him was that after 18 he was allowed the inheritance and will his parents had left him. It turned out that his father had been a wealthy man, having been a prominent real estate developer around the South—it left Dominic with millions suddenly at his disposal. Aside from some traveling, he wanted to be smart about the money so he bought space in a high rise, the top floor of the building and began renovating to create a club of his own.

Citta was the name he gave his ultra-lounge and since it wasn’t a regular nightclub it offered Atlanta’s residents and visitors a different experience. Dominic had mostly avoided any serious relationships in his life when it came to romance, there were a few ladies over time when he reached his twenties that he became close to and had what could’ve been considered a relationship. As always, he simply had a hard time connecting with people on a deep level and it was usually because he saw the end before it ever really began. Now, at 32, he’s living life how he had never imagined—with a popular lounge and more than enough money in the bank, leaving him to enjoy rather than struggle which is what the once orphan thought it would all be.  Ending up in Covington was something he took longer to consider, though when the time came he was easily able to relocate himself and start up like he had when he’d first come into money.

The move into small town life and out of the big city came out of a need for big change. A successful lounge in Atlanta was great but Dominic kept falling into bad habits and old ways when it came to the club and party scene. He’d also gotten into a bit of trouble and needed an extreme escape from the life he’d been living. The trek to Covington was drastic but it felt needed. Once there and somewhat settled he opened up Early Rise Gym, and the entrepreneur mindset he’d taken on decided on a strip club as well. The Red Rabbit was born out of a desire to stay in touch with the nightlife but also to offer Covington a little more flavor than what he’d seen in his house hunt upon deciding to move. When it came to the gym he wasn’t competitive any longer in the underground circuit but a grappling coach convinced him to keep training and Dominic wanted to give space to those like minded when it came to fitness.  He’s disciplined but the night life still calls to him more than it should.

Hello please tell me all about your androids/android worldbuilding <3 - @void-botanist

JDJDJDJDJDJ my favorite topic

ok so first things first you should know a few things about the union's robot laws: 1. the ai can't be "sentient" (as in, work like a mind of a person) 2. robots cannot look too much like living creatures 3. most of then require an owner (a person or a company)

now based on that: most of the robots & androids are created to do jobs that are either too dangerous or too hard. There are also robots that are like bartenders or chefs or secretaries etc., but they're more rare and are more popular in either rich spaces or spaces that refuse to pay their workers the minimum wage & instead just by a robot </3

There are also androids more suitable for "free time", like a buddy you can talk to in a cafe or a...thing for some adult time (tm).

Another field with large amount of robots or androids is the defense force, especially the groups that have something to do with the borders or with non-union planets (e.g. Dana's special squad, Five & Two). These are stronger and have better processors and are able to have conversations, but they still only either do their own job they were programmed to do, or they take orders.

Funny thing, most of the Planet Alone-time robot industries are from Mars. We'll see more about that in Cynosure.

NOW! Now that I've talked about what it's like int the most parts of the planet alone world, let's talk about Nathan & Victor.

The whole thing starts with Orion, Nathan's "dad". He's a famous politician, respected by many etc etc. and killed for something political he had almost nothing to do with. Anyway. He and his wife had a problem: they both can't have biological children, and no adoption center would give them a child bc of their busy af jobs. Orion isn't doing well bc lf that :(

Orion's friend, Matthew, is a magnificent AI programmer and had opened his robotics company a few years ago. Orion knows that he had been working on an AI that'd work just like a human mind AND a line of human-like androids, until the law mentioned at the beginning of this answer came. He didn't scrap the work though, and Orion knows that. Orion tells his situation to Matthew and begs him to finish what he started, and promises to keep it secret from everyone*, even from his future "child". Matthew agrees.

Now this AI then, clearly works just like a human mind. No additional widgets etc. The only noticiable thing is that this android doesn't have any kinds of bodily fluids. Orion explained that to his "son" as a "u were sick as a child so u r a bit Different(tm)" thing. Nathan, of course, believed everything.

They had a really amazing father-son relationship since the beginning, Orion was a perfect father. Matthew became a little bit jealous and decided to create a son for himself. An updated model, with more realistic features (like previously mentioned fluids) and more handsome. That's how we got Victor. And unlike Orion, Matthes tomd him the truth as soon as Vic actually started to understand what's going on. That gave him a god complex and a large ego but that's a thing for another day.

Now, you may wonder, how is Nathan aware of who he is now? Orion told him in the end. The poor guy did what a teen can easily do at his age - get a crush. And that obviously means a serious talk. Let's say it didn't go well and Nate ended up saying some awful things and storming out of the house, and sitting all alone with his thoughts by a river for a few hours. Once he calmed down he went back and. well. let's say he doesn't remember what actually happened**, but the first thing he remembers afterwards is sobbing in a corner bc someone killed his dad. He's not doing fine no matter what he says.

Still, because of the laws, he keeps (or well, has to keep) acting like a human and doing his own thing. Victor does too, but he's a millionaire bc he inherited his father's company.

#* except for his wife ofc :))) #** no he didn't do it. he actually tried to stop the killer but failed and was fatally wounded. luckily nothing a hard restart of a system #- won't fix </3 his memories were locked away for some reason tho and he still doesn't know what happened #asks #rose! #sorry this is a bit long KDKFNNXXB

Honkai Impact Webcomic - Elan Palatinus - Abridged Part 2

Part 1 here

Here is where the actual story summary starts to break down, because if I am being honest I was only interested in yelling about These Two Trainwrecks.

Love the Kaslanas and their stubborn dedication to using Int as a dump stat. The epitomy of Pure Of Heart, Dumb of Ass, truly. Also, shoutout to the fact that Otto apparently just? Collects outfits specifically tailored to Kallen's measurements, as well as making inventions specifically designed to match said outfits.

Though it's not JUST Kallen he's collecting outfits for:

Honestly an excellent look. How to support your childhood friend slash crush's vigilante dreams 101, everyone take notes. I did not screenshot but he proceeds to "trip and twist his ankle" so the guards rush over to help.

Meanwhile inside the mansion, Kallen is so bad at vigilantism. She's Trying. Also shoutout to the last moment in history when Kallen's hair and eye color will actually be an identifying feature instead of a coloring held by like 25 people at any given time.

The basement, huh? What's in the basement? And how is Otto involved? I did not screenshot this either but earlier, Otto talked Kallen into sending a letter announcing her intent to rob Victor, which is why Victor was waiting for her when she arrived. In the letter he specifically says "And I'll also come for what's in the basement", prompting Victor to assign most of his guards there. One wonders what Otto's motivations are here.

Skipping forward a bit, we're in another flashback now. In this version of history, the Black Plague still happened but was specifically caused by Honkai. We look back now to Otto's attempts to find a cure, as one of his patients goes full honkai zombie and has to be dispatched by a guard as Otto stands by.

Otto: I must find a cure, not because people are dying or it's the right thing to do, that's all fine I don't care about that. I need to find a cure specifically because Kallen will be happy with me if I do.

Otto Apocalypse motivations in a nutshell right here, even as he turns around and tells Kallen only the parts he thinks she'll approve of. Man reading this again after finishing the comic: the fact that Kallen sees Otto as inspiration and a role model for her own desire to do good is So. In light of what's about to happen.

Speaking of: skipping a bunch of story, Kallen does end up finding the basement when a girl she's trying to protect goes missing. BUT: inside the basement we find what literally looks like the big boss lair of a jRPG or something and ABBREVIATEDLY:

Otto: Listen just don't ask questions about why I'm in the human sacrifice dungeon, I can explain. Haha actually no I can't.

After this confrontation Kallen is taken away to the dungeons, and we cut to Otto dreaming:

He wakes up and visits Kallen, and is told to bring her to her senses, as the church needs the support of her family.

Naturally, slapping someone is terrible if a guy does it, but cute and passionate when a girl does it.

Man, Otto's simple, childish wish :c

I'm sure the fact that he's sold his body to a mysterious and malevolent force will absolutely not come back to bite him later, what consequences could this possibly have.

Nice to see that Kallen specifically and explicitly has told him she doesn't want him sacrificing himself for her sake and that this will not make her happy. The lesson Otto takes from this is that he must make sure not to TELL her when he's doing stuff like that, and then he spends the next 500 years running around committing atrocities so he can kill himself and bring her back. Because at the end of the day it's not about what Kallen wants or what will make her happy, but about what Otto wants and what will make Otto happy.

But right now it IS genuinely about making Kallen happy and I have so many questions about how much of that change is related to the little malevolent voice he now has in the back of his head.

#f: this is a story about love and it will end with love #honestly on reread i have a lot of thoughts now on the nature of honkai as a corrupting force #it's basically salem from rwby #and how many people feel that the only way to effectively fight it is to listen to it and do exactly what it tells them to #more on this later #but also man the kaslana code #kaslanas die and never yield #it's more than battlefield stubbornness is the thing #int is their dump stat and that's what makes them resistant to honkai whispering in their ears about how you REALLY win the war #they're not here for clever and morally corrupt solutions #and maybe most of the time that means they die without accomplishing anything of substance re: the honkai war #but then the 1% of the time is kiana who DOES
