#kinda fucked up

[sootsz]

qsmp has accidentally stumbled into a psychology experiment that would make the stanford prison experiment sob in fear. they’ve gotten a bunch of cc’s, and tens of thousands of viewers, to be deeply emotionally connected to pixel eggs. in doing so they’ve presented a problem:

how the fuck do you get outta this

the eggs were obviously never intended to be permanent (logging on every day to do tasks isn’t feasible to upkeep forever) and they were even given a vague limit of When Mama Dragon Comes Back (and then, of course, the “6 days til they die” thing). now you’ve made it so quackity (and his team) have a big ol dilemma, where two things are true: 1) they can’t keep the eggs forever since it’s not sustainable 2) you can’t take away the eggs without, oopsies, emotionally damaging your friends that you invited to have fun on your server.

turns out, when you give a group of humans all their own fully-realized individual who presents as a (weak, vulnerable) child that is in need of care from them, whatever instinct has kept us alive for generations goes “!!!!!” which is both really cool and compassionate, but also kinda concerning!

because, well: not sustainable! and if the eggs aren’t sustainable, what’s the alternative? killing them?? no! just look at jaiden’s reaction to bobby “losing” a life, even when it wasn’t his last one. or bad’s genuinely heart wrenching reaction to dapper losing a life. or how quiet and angry phil got after chayanne and tallulah had a “nightmare,” before it was resolved. that’s not acting. that’s real. what the hell will they do if the eggs actually die? from what i see, the cc’s are taking the “6 days til death” thing as something that’s avoidable. a threat that can be overcome. and for their sake, i hope it is.

ever played a dnd game where you actually feel insulted bc of smth someone’s pc did? yeah. that x20 because there’s SO much overlap between “streamer persona” and “literally just who they are”. and this level of roleplay character bleeding is cool, but i hope the eggs are handled carefully, or all those involved might end up actually hurt.

there’s also the whole added element of fans, many of whom only tune into the streams for egg content. the plot is very egg-centric. the roleplaying and characterization that the cc’s are doing is all centered around the eggs in one way or another. it’s been going on for a month, but it does not feel at all resolved, and plot-wise it would completely mess up so many plot threads happening if the eggs were all to go (charlie’s unresolved deal with lil j, quackity’s goal to bond with tallulah, the trial, etc etc) so if you take away the eggs, you risk messing up the whole vibe they’ve got going on, and facing backlash from fans who are also emotionally compromised by pixel eggs

we inherently want to protect the cute and vulnerable, and by god are these eggs cute and so very fragile. (then, there’s another layer of people’s own issues that they project onto the eggs. be it desire for paternity, some kind of maternal instinct, or, even in the matter of chayanne, using chayanne as a sort of way to cope with loss by making connections between chayanne and technoblade. which is beautiful and very sweet but would give chayanne dying some additional emotionally charged elements which i think should be avoided at all costs). there’s a reason that movies and other media generally do not kill named children characters—audiences really hate it. it’s taboo for good reason.

which leads us to

schrodinger’s egg: until sunday, they r both alive and dead. and this is both good and bad. god help us all

#please handle it carefully please handle it carefully please handle it carefully please handle it carefully please handle it carefully pleas #eggs :) #qsmp #quackity #Wilbur soot #tallulah #Philza #Charlie slimecicle #pleaasseeeeee #and this isn’t even touching on how the eggs feel #emotionally connected to somebody #never to talk to them again #having to watch them be sad #knowing it’s because of you #kinda fucked up #badboyhalo #dapper #Jaiden animations

wish i knew the forgotten realms lore better...how am i meant to make my little ocs in this state of ignorance

#i'm so interested in how people relate to the gods in this world which is sort of hard to glean from the wiki #thinking abt those notes in the ilmater temple - 'even bhaal has things to teach us 😔🙏' otoh but the absolute cult is 'heresy' #like who decides that? what does heresy /mean/ in this polytheistic setup where each god's cult seems to p much do their own thing #& it seems like even among the good-aligned gods ppl tend to pick one to hitch their wagon to in a pretty committed way #what does polytheism mean to the average joe in this world #i need to know #i need to make a little guy about it #wrapped up shadowheart's quest and....idk man! #just going off the lore as presented in bg3 so far it's set up distrust for deities pretty much across the board #like babe is your new cult better? bc they've got angel imagery? i guess so #the whole problem of evil thing - the dead three shar et al being so extant & active in the world makes the (apparently?) more distant #benevolence of good gods pretty limp by comparison #so much of what draws lay people to them seems to be protection from the very real material threat posed by the evil ones? #& at least SH is in a better place to choose than say. the goblins #vast swathes of people just born under a bad sign in this world #i heard somewhere that if you don't get a god to claim your soul for their afterlife it just kind of withers away in limbo for eternity? #kinda fucked up #some protection racket shit dude #being a mortal in FR like you're just a little guy in a precarious cosmological situation aren't u #to be clear none of this is a criticism i think it's very fun & chewy #rife with cosmic horror potential #bg3 #bg3 spoilers #edit: i mean it's a little bit of a criticism in that i don't think the game sells SH's conversion super well #if the intention is just to be like. yay white-hat god good ^_^ #but i don't hate the worldbuilding implications if we take the iffiness as read

Only going to say this once, so open your ears:

Liu Kang WAS messing with people's lives. Yes, he didn't personally toss Quan Chi into the mines or tell Shang Tsung to be a snake oil salesman but he DID manipulate things so they wouldn't have magic. Geras literally says that Shang Tsung is "defying the arc of his destiny" which uh... means that he does not have the free will to choose his own destiny.

The Lin Kuei as protectors of Earthrealm is repeatedly referred to as a 'role', one that Liu Kang gave them. Thus depriving any member of the Lin Kuei a destiny that is not Liu Kang-approved.

Kung Lao and Raiden were raised to be the chosen ones and personally trained by Liu Kang's proxy, Madame Bo.

Liu Kang specifically says that the Amulet of Shinnok does not exist in his timeline... meaning he either made it so that Shinnok doesn't exist or manipulated it so that the amulet wouldn't.

Liu Kang started the Mortal Kombat tournament, which inevitably affected people's lives--more than likely, Liu Kang manipulated other 'chosen ones', including the Great Kung Lao (canon that they knew each other). Not that this ensures that he also gets a variant of Kung Lao very close to the original.

Liu Kang also allowed Outworld to become a nepotism state where people he needed to keep an eye on were in positions of power (Sindel, Mileena, Kitana, Shao, Li Mei, rain, Tanya). He may not have had a hand in this but... what do you bet that, at the very least, when he saw Sindel as Empress again, he suggested the MK tournament to 'foster peace' ie keep an eye on them?

Oh, also. Sending Kenshi, Johnny and Kung Lao to spy on Outworld bc he suspected they were up to something. Not manipulative at all.

Now, do I disagree with Liu Kang's decisions? Not necessarily. Shang Tsung and Quan Chi are threats in any timeline. So are the Lin Kuei (individual members as well as the Cyber initiative). My problem is 1) the narrative not acknowledging that Liu Kang is a bit of a hypocrite (hypocrite is not a bad character trait, most people are at some point, and figuring out how the character justifies themself as not a hypocrite is fun part of writing!!!) and 2) people denying that Liu Kang did in fact manipulate the destinies of certain people. Not to a Kronika extent, but he did essentially the same thing for the reason of 'peace' rather than 'balance'. The fact that he 'stepped down as time keeper' is irrelevant, it just meant he needed to find more manual ways to manipulate... which he did.

#liu kang #mk1 #everything liu kang did is actually fine but the narrative acting like he was objectively correct and anyone who disagrees is evil is NOT #like... why do only heroes get to defy destiny??? #kinda fucked up

I dont have anyone to share my oc lore with so please read my oc lore :3

^ rough sketch idea of the scientist mentioned in this story

[ PREQUEL STORY 1 ] The Creation.

Long ago, there were only 4 different types of people, now, we call them the Elementals.

-There was the water people who, never pushed to be included in other tribes' problems, they were a neutral part. -There was the fire people who were known for their short tempers and ability to take offense to just about anything. they were usually the cause for fights and problems among tribes. -There were the rock people who were just as hard headed as the fire tribe. however, the rock people had a tendency to be quite nice once friends with them. -Lastly, the ice tribe. strangely, they did not have a good relationship with the water tribe. there were many fights between the two as the fire tribes and, sometimes, the rock tribes would provoke them.

One day, a water tribe child would wander out of his tribe land and walk into the fire tribe territory mistakenly. The child was beaten and almost killed by citizens until a government official, a scientist, stopped them and took the child to his lab. The child was locked up and treated as nothing more than a test subject. He was hit with various items and injected with various substances but to no effect. The substances would simple turn into water itself upon coming into contact with the child.

Eventually the scientist had the idea of merging the child's DNA and his very essence, into another Elemental, one nearby in fact. The scientist, having as much power as he did, was permitted to use fire tribe criminals as his test subjects and so use them he did. While the Elemental look like they are just made of their element, there are layers to their bodies. the deeper into the body you go, the more condensed and pure their DNA is so with this uncommon knowledge that the scientist had, he used a flask and a mechanical claw to reach deep into the chest of the water tribe child and his fire tribe test subject. after what seemed like weeks of work and research, a breakthrough was made. The flame and water the scientist had combined chemically had evaporated, no different than all his other attempts, but this one was different. this one was special.

it moved like it was alive.

The scientist scrambled around his lab looking through his notes, thinking back on the expirement and what he did. "What did i do different?" "Was an outside factor included by accident?" he asked himself restlessly. "No. I'm too renowed for that!" "I would never make a mistake like that!" he yelled, slowly losing reason. In his moment of desperation for answers he rushed another test, the result was yet another cloud-like gas that moved so very lifelike. The scientist couldn't wrap his head around it, why was this happening? now, after all the past attempts? Eventually he calmed himself down, we went through all his notes but nothing could've resulted in the life-from he made. he decided to try one more time following what he had done before step-by-step and it resulted in yet another life form. The random success of this gave him an idea. "would it be too much to mass produce these?-" he asked himself. "I would need permission from the general" he said, "i suppose it's a good thing i have proof of my works" he stated, looking back at the 3 lifelike gust of clouds in the testing containers.

Marie and Purah are my mommies.

Remus is my stinky rat bastard child.

Ganon needs to drink a year load of water.

Luigi fills the pool with all of my Mr. Bubble soap.

Wario replaced the SpongeBob popsicles with the Sonic popsicles at a local Family Dollar.

Max commits tax fraud.

Rigby and Mordecai show Benson Euphoria and scarred him for life.

Emile (Chuggaconroy) is my brother that I had no idea I had, I mean we both simp to Marie... A lot.

Janus hid my broken Computer and plans to "fix" it.

Robotnik told Scratch and Grounder to steal a table from chipotle, instead Scratch and Grounder go and eat at chipotle.

Rulue sends a Valentines card to Dark Prince, but is sent to Shezou.

A blonde masochist with two different colored eyes haunts my every dream with such quotes as "it Feels so good!" or "Punish me!"

Prisoner: Loki x Reader - 6

TW: Character death, blood, violence, pregnancy/birthing

what even... please and thank you everyone who commented

-

When you had stepped back into the antechamber, all eyes fell on you. Stunned silence filled the air.

You were a queen. You knew how to contain yourself, how to hold yourself. You kept your head bowed and made your way back to the edge of the pool.

You sat there, cleaning yourself off and stayed silent.

No one approached you.

It wasn’t until several days later when Dot’s water broke that they spoke to you again.

-

Dot stood there, water running down her leg, stomach bulging. Tears fell freely from her as she stared at it in horror.

Loki had not visited for three days.

“Do you know how to birth a child?” Jot asked you nervously.

Dot cried freely, hands covering her face.

Thought stood to the side, arms crossed, looking furious yet slightly concerned.

-

Hours later, miraculously, Dot had given birth. Jot held her hand the whole way through, stroking her hair and wiping the pool’s water across her forehead.

Dot lay on the ground, away from the pouf so the evidence would be easier to clean. Not that a newborn baby would go unnoticed.

It was normal looking, pale as its father. Dot held it to her breast, allowing the babe to suckle. She smiled down at it, murmuring gently. As the babe drank, Dot blanched. Blue etched skin slowly spread along the expanse of the baby, until it was a small blue infant.

The four of you stared in horror.

The chamber doors opened.

The three women and you looked over, horror growing exponentially as Loki walked in.

He paused for a moment. His expression was unreadable as he looked between the four of you. Then his eyes fell on the blue child.

Fear, rage, hatred, anger, confusion, a million expressions crossed his face at once.

When words came to him, he stalked over and snarled, “what in hel is that?” He pointed at the baby furiously.

Dot held it closer to her bosom, head bowed. You and the other women knelt on the ground beside her, heads bowed as well.

Relt and Gelt even turned to watch, staring in horror at the situation that might unfold.

Loki stood up. “How?”

Dot whispered, barely a breath. “I was a princess of Jotunheim. I couldn’t tell you.”

Loki grabbed her by the throat. Jot rushed forward to catch the baby who began squealing. Loki pulled Dot to her feet, holding her with one hand as he looked down at her murderously. “You what?” He snarled.

Dot choked and gasped, gurgling as Loki’s strong grip tightened on her throat.

“My lord!” You cried, leaping up.

Jot and Thought looked at you, somehow growing even more horrified.

Loki’s eyes fell on you and he snarled something inaudible, dropping Dot to the floor.

She sat on the ground gasping and choking, massaging her bruised throat.

Loki rounded on Jot, defensively holding the baby to her chest. His chest was heaving, shoulders rising and falling as his face burned bright red in fury.

“Give it to me.” Loki demanded, all but roaring, holding out his hand.

For the first time in your knowledge, Jot pulled back, leaning her body away from Loki.

Loki blinked for a moment, before screaming, “Give it to me!”

“Please, my lord! Please! I will keep it a secret, send me away, do anything but don’t hurt the baby!” Dot cried, dropping to his foot and wrapping her arms around his legs. Tears spilled from her eyes as she pleaded.

Loki’s eyes scanned over the women, fury still etched in every crease in his face.

You stepped forward, all eyes falling on you. “My lord, if I may…”

The back of his hand collided with your face, knocking you to the ground.

“I said give it to me.” Loki finally repeated. His voice was calm and cold.

Thought grabbed the baby from Jot and hurried over to give it to Loki.

Dot screeched, a heart wrenching cry that gurgled in her throat as more tears fell freely.

Loki held the baby disdainfully, yet supported it properly. He stared down at it murderously.

Dot continued to wail and scream, her cries echoing around the chamber.

“Silence, wench.” Loki snarled.

Jot squatted down and covered Dot’s mouth. Dot’s hands were outstretched as, feebly reaching for the baby.

Loki glanced at Relt and Gelt who slowly walked over. They looked at the group of people, fighting back horrified expressions.

Holding the baby to his chest, Loki turned and stalked away. His chamber doors slamming behind him.

Dot wailed again, slumping to the floor, but Jot’s hand held firm.

The three of you looked at Thought.

Thought crossed her arms. “What? He was going to have us all sent away. Or killed on the spot. Whichever was worse.”

“You didn’t know that!” Dot wailed.

“Better it than you! You can still survive. You know how he hates the Jotuns.” Thought insisted.

You massaged your jaw, a bruise likely going to form. Did you have any sway with Loki? Would he kill the child? Surely he would send it somewhere he had sent the other women… Right?

Dot pushed Jot away, lunging at Thought and began strangling her. Dot slammed Thought’s head into the floor, over and over.

Blood welled from Thought’s head, pooling around her until she lay still.

“Dot!” Jot yelled in horror.

You sat on the ground, staring at Thought’s blank eyes. You could not speak, you could not think, but, but what?

Relt and Gelt finally intervened, pulling Dot off Thought. Dot continued to sob and cry, a mother’s loss.

Jot sat shaking as she looked at the blood.

A long silence passed.

No one spoke.

It was difficult to even break the silence with breathing.

Loki’s chamber door opened and he stalked back out, the baby was nowhere in sight. Loki reached the group of people, fury still oozing from him. He grabbed Dot by the hair, ignoring Thought’s lifeless body, and began dragging her to his chambers.

“Not a word of this will be spoken.” Loki yelled over his shoulder.

Dot scrabbled to her knees, trying to crawl as Loki dragged her along. She was passed pleading, she merely accepted her fate.

And the door banged shut behind them.

Relt and Gelt picked up Thought’s body and left out the main door. That door too banged shut.

You sat in silence, staring at Jot, only a puddle of blood left to prove what had happened.
