Confrontation for Bad Things Happen Bingo and All 4 Day 1 Prompts for Whumptober. Prompts: "But now this room is spinning while I'm just trying to fill in all the gaps." Safety Net, Swooning, "How many fingers am I holding up?"

Undertale Fanfic: You Thought You Killed Me?

"Sans! Sans!" Sans opened his eyes, his vision was blurry, "Alphys." Sans went to close his eyes again.

"Don't close your eyes! You're barely alive!" 

"Fine." Sans didn't expect Alphys to put her fingers close to his skull, "Oh yeah, how many fingers am I holding up?" 

Sans counted, "Five." Alphys shook her head, "No, Sans, two. Don't do that!" Sans figured out what Alphys was yelling about when as when he stood up, the room started spinning. "I don't understand." Sans informed Alphys when he was pushed back down. 

"The human went back. They think-" Alphys gulped, "They think you are dead Sans." Sans wished so, maybe his wrapped up chest wouldn't feel like it's on fire. "I- I found you at Grillbys." 

"I know when I'm as good as dead Alphys. Especially with the bleeding." 

"Why do you bleed, anyways?" 

"I was experimented on as a kid. Bleeding is a side effect." Sans laid down, "I don't remember ever not bleeding." 

Alphys gulped, "Why did you do such a stupid thing? Fighting them?" 

"Someone has to stop them. Figured I'd do my job for once." Sans stood up, "Speaking of the kid, I have to take care of them." 

"Sans, no! You'll die. You're not 100 percent." 

"Then come with me." Sans grabbed Alphys' arm, "You want this as much as I do. If things get bad, you can surprise them. 

I accepted death once already." Alphys reluctantly nodded, "I guess I should." 

Sans was back in the judgment hall, arriving in a wheelchair due to Alphys' assistance. Sans stood up, "Geez kid, getting sloppy aren't cha?" 

Alphys hid when the kid came in. Step. Step. Step. Their knife dropped. "Bet you weren't expecting me. Let's just get to the point." Sans lifted his arm up, holding his painful wince back banging the weaponless human against the walls. 

The human recovered quickly, before running towards Sans aiming to hit him with their weaponless fist. 

Miss. "Did you think I'd be that easy?" Gaster blasters to the humans face, they rolled under the lasers. Another run, miss. Attack, miss, attack, miss. "Don't you ever get tired, kid?" The kid answered by going for another hit, only to miss.

Sans' eyes were dropping shut, "Kid, you gotta learn when to oof." Sans was hit in his injured stomach. "Welp, I guess you're a freak, huh? I just gotta warn you, you aren't enough of a freak for what happens next." Sans held his chest when Alphys jumped out, healing Sans' chest.

"W-What h-happens next is your end. Killing all my friends." 

Sans smiled, "You've done it now, kid." Bone attacks with a yellow soul proved a tad difficult for the kid. You can't shoot bones away, and because of that fact, you had to do Sans' platforming while destroying Alphys bullets, and dodging some of them. The human died many times due to this new scenario. 

But this human was determined. Determined to kill who got in their way. Alphys died first. Dusted. 

Sans did eventually throw the human all over the room to no avail, after he did many attacks by himself. Sans was trying not to doze off, but when his eyes drooped for a second, the human got another hit in. Dusted near immediately. 

The human got their way and moved on to the next world. Two monsters giving it their all could not match the human's determination.

I know Cell has a bit of Vegeta in him but I don't think he'd be too proud to ask for help 😂

Based on my word vomit in a discord chat:

#gohan #son gohan #cell #perfect cell #db #dragon ball #dbz #dragon ball z #sketch #comic #this is based on a line of dialogue Cell says in some game #i believe fighterz #when wishing for full health he says something like 'heal me would you?' #also he was not opposed to eating that senzu bean during the cell games #he thinks hes number 1 priority and the best fighter on the team so it would be stupid of everyone else to leave him injured #or so he thinks XD

Does Mabel have any middle names? I feel like if she did it would be something Cyra picked or Gale picked. Either way I feel like it's Latin for either something magical or bones

it's 'morena' :))

#bg3 #mutual decision i think #thank you to that 1 single line of dialogue for giving us all so much to work with #mabel means 'lovable' which i thought was precious #iirc morena just means brown haired sjdshds #'wizard have brown hair. name mother after brown hair'

The timing's right

And the light is soft

If you want me to

We've come from far

And we came here lost

If you believe in me

I'll believe in you

I'm with you

"I don't ever want to have to do this without you."

"Eddie...?"

"Marry me, Buck."

i think it's funny that tamsyn muir can concieve of and convincingly write so many different types of people. a downtrodden jock with self-esteem issues. a twitchy little nerd with layer upon layer of self-hatred and guilt. a slimy, power-hungry princess desperately trying to escape the shadow of her sister. a middle-aged biologist who accidentally became God. the soul of a murdered planet with amnesia. so many types of people, with so many neuroses and hangups and hopes and tragedies informing characterization so layered and complex it can take hours to unpick. to say nothing of the way she writes the relationships between those characters. and through all of that. through all of the flashbacks and hints and unreliable narrators and infinitely suggestive lines of dialogue. she has yet to create a single one of them who is not attracted to women.

think about it. some of them are bisexual. but that's as far as it goes in the other direction. some of them are unconfirmed. but there is not a single character whose sexuality or romantic history is explored in any detail, who is not attracted to women. i find that extremely funny.

#the closest is like. admiral sarpedon. #he is literally the only one i can think of who has explicitly had a thing with a man and not explicitly had a rhing with a woman. #but he exists in 1 scene and then his fling with john is mentioned in a single line of dialogue like 800 pages later. #so i don't think he even really counts. #the locked tomb #tlt #my post #oh wait there's also queen of my heart abigail pent. #but like. come on.

I can’t stop thinking about this one exchange between Joel & Ellie in the official trailer

Ellie: “If you don’t think there’s hope for the world, why bother going on?”

Joel: “You haven’t seen the world, so you don’t know. You keep going for family.”

Ellie: “I’m not family?”

Joel: “No. You’re cargo.”

THAT IS SO LAST OF US. It’s Joel neglecting to be recipient towards Ellie by belittling her inexperience and dehumanizing her. He’s denying her humanity and downright EXISTENCE by ascribing her to something as trivial as mere baggage, making her out to be entirely insignificant. Which is obviously all a front for Joel to shield himself from emotionally opening up at the risk of getting hurt again, but that barrier all the more stings knowing that Ellie requires love and validation. She craves her own purpose for existence, but Joel invalidated that by writing her off as a thing rather than a person.

#I am going to have a meltdown #this feels like a scene that would’ve and could’ve been in the original game #BECAUSE IT FALLS IN LINE SO MUCH WITH HOW THE FIRST GAME INITIALLY PRESENTED THESE TWO #like it FEELS like dialogue from part 1 even though I KNOW it was written for the show #it really is a testament how this show will expand on the material but also respect the source #the last of us #tlou #tlou hbo #joel miller #pedro pascal #ellie tlou

it's been a minute since i've posted anything adventure forward related it seems. have a sammy (ss1) and maynot

these designs are for an adventure forward au of mine that has an absurd amount of meticulous lore! it's a project i've had on the backburner for a little over a year now so i figured it's about time i start sharing it with the world. i'll be tagging anything i make for it as #adventure forward overwrite, since that's the name of the au and stuff.

you'll probably be seeing these two pop up a lot considering i have uh... *checks notes* about 12 more of these designs left to make. very cool.

#art #ms paint #fan designs #adventure forward overwrite #adventure forward #adventure forward 1 #af1 #(also was considering tagging this as oc art cause i feel like sammy could count as an oc but.. nah) #extra notes: i promise the suspicious x-shaped scar on sammy's face is lore relevant for reasons other than 'omg stratosfear!!!' #also the name of the au was not chosen at random. if enough people care about it i might explain the whole deal with that #it's gonna sound absurd asf though since the whole thing is based on a theory and the whole 3 lines of dialogue that theory comes from lol.

1/5+1

Words had never been Camilla's main wield. She started walking at just shy of 8 months old and talking some time after she had passed age 3, by which point her sweating dads had long memorized every developmental timeline that Genetics had to offer for toddlers. Her sense of balance was, they joked nervously, just that exceptional - one milestone in the first percentile and one in the 99th in dramatic symmetry.

(This joke was, maybe, also her first and most formative encounter with standard deviations and long-term data collection.)

Palamedes, it turned out, was almost the equal and exact opposite – talking just about immediately and toddling just about nowhere, though having a captive audience suited his mother well enough until he absorbed enough for his return volleys to start vexing her; his father, fortunately, had patience enough for all three – and thus they were in this regard, too, a matched set.

Which made her current state of imbalance all the more intractable and all the more intolerable – she, the photo negative of a god-killing star, fumbling in an endlessly empty gravity well too deep for light to escape.

Or sound, for that matter – so while she figured out (because she had to) how to cross the horizon of an event she still couldn't think about, everything else met silence.

It wasn't, as she later told her dads, that she couldn't speak. They were understandably concerned that her head tilts and restless feet might belie limitations in cognitive development, other metrics for the Sixth to mark down, other disambiguations in her life path before she reached the fork that led to someone who could tell that those, too, were communication.

It wasn't, as she vaguely registered a nameless Blood of Eden medic shining a penlight into her eyes, that she couldn't reply when asked "how many fingers am I holding up?" – it's that some stars were still too bright to look at directly, and beyond that, sight didn't matter yet. Nothing else mattered yet, words least of all.

It's that she needed a reason to want to be deeply and urgently understood –

Her first words came in a complete sentence, spoken in the newly-encountered presence of one Palamedes Sextus and to the eternal surprise of their collective fathers.

Her last words to him were –

She couldn't remember.

"I said, how many fingers – ugh, this is pointless."

She didn't have the reason, and neither did any of them.

unsure how to word this but there is something about having ocs with unsavory events happening in their past where it's like. talking about it, even when asked, seems almost gratuitous and inappropriate. and i'd much rather describe it through the oc themself and/or draw Them saying it. which is like. fitting for the subject matter? like of course its weird to talk about somebody else's business...!

and falls back into humanizing em/exploratory writing and development where u consider the impact of words said/words unsaid/HOW those words are said etc etc

#because not all real persons would give u every detail of their trauma obviously #which makes sense but im an overexplainer but also it feels inappropriate to overexplain when it comes to dis #i hope that makes sense #talkys #i once described what went down with al as just directly as possible and it still felt weird. ykwim?? idk why. #well i do know why! i dont want it to seem gratuitous or like That Cheap Writing Element. fine line #same with talon so he'll just keep implying it thru text + dialogue which is how it should be ! #the only difference is i think with al i wrote it like he would've said it bc he has more access to that side of himself #and is aware of how it affected him #whereas characterwise talon absolutely would just speak in riddles about and around it #i don't even think he's conscious about the direct effects of it #(but i wouldnt know bc he hasn't made that known to me in my brain) #people respond differently to different things and all that #also im so sorry if half the shit ive said recently is so like. Well Duh. i havent made a new oc in a decade gimme a break LOL #also i realize the. irony? of me even vaguely talking about it in the way i did but 1. i think that's also realistic when you #dont want to do a whole deep dive on someone else's business and 2. people are becoming #curious about my oc(s) and im just thinking about well; significant events and how to handle not speaking about em #FOR them. <- weirdly #idk. they're real to me. #its just so much more interesting to leave it up to them! people can lie people can downplay

[sherlock-is-ace]

watched the first ep of Dead Boy Detectives today, did anyone also think the dialogue was a bit clunky?

I don't mean it was unwatchable or anything i just feel like it didn't feel realistic the way they introduced the characters and world... It felt like the dialogue was for the viewer instead of an in character thing. We were gonna be introduced to a viewer surrogate within the first few minutes, there was no need to have the characters who already know how the show's world works spell it out for nobody... and then explain it again when Crystal showed up? idk it felt like something I would write (not a complient) 😅

#the line ''we have to hide from death... or she'll get us'' was ridiculous #do you think the boy that's been escaping death since 1919 or whatever doesn't know?! #''we have to hide'' was enough the viewer can put 2 and 2 together and deduce it's bad if death sees them #to then minnutes later have them explain to crystal why they have to hide from death again... #just let the characters adress the camera if you wanna spell it out so easily #or you know... trust that the viewer is intelligent enough to wait 2 minutes for an explanation? #it was mostly just that first few mins of the first ep i think #i didn't pick up on anything else that trully bothered me #but idk it felt condecending dkjfghkdfg or simply badly written #which it was a bit of a let down to have it as a very first impression #i guess i went in thinking sandman and got like idk generic teen show #in the dialogue alone btw i actually really like the characters and the premise is awesome! #it just cuaght me by surprise #maybe it because i'm also watching fallout and the dialogue on that is like very well done and everything is a hint for something later #so i'm comparing it idk #anyways... is it just me? or was it actually clunky? #(don't spoil it past ep 1 pls) #angel talks #dead boy detectives #really liking it so far tho!
