#they were absolutely terrifying

[maudiemoods]

How many dreams have you had of moon hunting you down? I've had 3!

#they were absolutely terrifying #one was so so vivid #i wanna draw it so bad but AURG i dont have the skills #i was playing a game where you're in a house and the kitchen is the starting room #bam was there i think #but sun was in the kitchen along with everyone and the game was about to start #in 5 minutes the lights would go out and moon would come out to hunt people! i hid on the bottom bed of a bunk bed #under the covers and close to the wall. then the kitchen light went out and i could hear the bells as moon walked around looking for people #and he walked right next to me. i remember bit being able to breathe i was so scared #he looked dead at me. right in the eyes and paused for a good minute then continued to the next room #i remember thinking it was a cruel part of the game! like he liked to terrify people before getting them #aurhg but that moment when we made eye contact. it was beautiful and so so cinematic! a pretty red glow from his eyes! #soft blue light coming in through the shudders! #and the room was so cute! very softly designed to look like a neutral kids room! blue wallpaper and a giraffe stuffed animal #aurhgg #ren won't shut up

(re: sssniperwolf and jacksfilms) It's laughable that she escalated it that hard. Don't get me wrong, I'm pretty sure stalking him like that is illegal and it's terrifying regardless, but Jack said in a stream (can't remember which one) that he wasn't about bringing up past controversies of hers or cancelling. And now she shows up outside his house (wtf!!!). Like he was willing to only call her out for stealing and freebooting but she's gone and stalked him and Jack doesn't seem like the type of guy to take that shit. Actual WTF moment from her part. wild

omg long post below bc apparently I have opinions: YES!! THAT'S WHAT'S SO INCREDIBLE ABOUT THIS... Jack has been genuinely diligent about keeping things on-topic in his streams, and hasn't brought up any of her other Stuff, or anything Personal. Despite the fact that she kickstarted the whole thing by making it INCREDIBLY personal and attacking his physical appearance... His goal has been to call out and bring attention to content theft, and he's stuck with it. Dude's also cared about this for years, and she's not the first content thief he's criticized. He just hates the way that freebooting has become so accepted-- to the point where youtube praised her for "coming up with such creative video ideas"? Hey! Ew! Dude wasn't trying to get her cancelled though, there was no smear campaign of her character. He's been rallying to get her to CREDIT the creators that she relies on for all of her content. It would set a precedent for all other "react" channels on the platform for one of the biggest channels on youtube to actually give credit where credit is due. Or, god forbid, get permission first? It's not hard. It's already done the job of making some other people who do "react content" self-analyze whether or not their content is transformative, and to maybe care about crediting the creators they rely on for their genre to work. There is a way to make this kind of video that isn't so slimy. And making fun of her lackluster-at-best reactions is so far from even being a big deal. Bc she literally does just sit there and say nothing. Plus, his goal has a clear End built into it: if she started shouting out the creators she takes content from, and put links directly to their pages in her video descriptions, the job would be done! That's what he's asking her to do. Real bare minimum stuff. It legit would have been easy to steer away from the content theft and to also talk about her history of lying to her audience! her ghosting a dying kid with cancer who was a big fan of hers! the fact that she's been arrested for armed robbery! her history of transphobia! He would also get more clicks that way, which is what she claims is his sole goal- to get more clicks. I'll bring it up though! She's been a terrible person the whole time, and has kept a steady course of manipulating her audience of young children and/or, let's be completely honest, simps- into thinking that she's a Wholesome creator. (And now, into thinking she's an innocent victim.) All of the actual effort put in by her has gone toward optics, not the content she puts out. A carefully constructed online persona, for one, but also literal appearances. Jack totally can't say this, bc she already went off the handle and said the only reason he doesn't like her is bc he Hates To See A Woman Be Successful. But I can! That was a cheap shot for her to use that argument when, for once, it's not applicable! Much the opposite, even! Dudes online wouldn't go to bat for her if she didn't look the way she does. And it weakens any case she'd have against him by making baseless claims like that. She banks hugely on being an attractive woman to get her clicks/following. A massive amount of effort is put into her appearance. The makeup, the lip fillers, putting her hair in little pigtails, the chokers and tube tops, the big non-prescription Nerd Glasses, the thumbnails where she has her mouth open in That Expression?

I don't even have to say anything. But making a weird facial expression and putting your hair in pigtails aren't moral failings. Showing up at someone's real life home (whose address you shouldn't even have access to), filming the front of their house at night, doxxing them to your audience of millions of people? Because you were mad at them online? That is fully scary! Yeah girl I'm pretty sure that Jack can press charges! There is absolutely no way to take the moral highground now that she's literally stalked him, and doxxed his home. She tried to goad him and Erin (Jack's wife) out of the house, also, which creeps me out even more-- because what was she planning to do? The fact that she's been arrested for violent crime before does pop into my mind! lmao! Jack was streaming a game at the time that she was outside his home, and these clips of him, his friends, and Erin reacting in real time to what is genuinely a scary situation have been taken down in case he needs to use them in legal action. Shit is legitimately serious!

You know what's interesting to me? For all people keep claiming at every juncture that perhaps Bells Hells will come around on the gods and see the harm they do (which, as discussed extensively, is, half the time, simply not intervening) not only have they never done so, but also they never quite cross the line into saying the party should join the Ruby Vanguard or aid them - and indeed, they defend against it - so what does this achieve? It feels like they're asking for a story in which the party stands idly by, which isn't much of a story nor, if I may connect this briefly to the real world, a political stance anyone should be proud of.

That's honestly the frustration with the gods and the "what if the Vanguard has a point" conversations in-game. What do we do then? Do we allow the organization that will murder anyone for pretty much any reason that loosely ties into their goals run rampant? The group that (perhaps unwittingly, but then again, Otohan's blades had that poison) disrupted magic world-wide, and caused people who had the misfortune to live at nexus points to be teleported (most, as commoners, without means of return). While also fomenting worldwide unrest?

Those were the arguments before the trip to Ruidus; with the reveal of the Vanguard's goals to invade Exandria, the situation becomes even more dire. Do you let the Imperium take over the planet?

And do the arguments against the gods even hold up? If Ludinus is so angry at them for the Calamity, what does it say that he destroyed Western Wildemount's first post-Calamity society for entirely selfish means? (What does it say about the validity of vengeance as a motivator?) What does it say that Laudna told Imogen she could always just live in a cottage quietly without issue before the solstice even happened? (Would this still be true if the Imperium controls the world?) What does it say that when faced with a furious, grieving party and the daughter she keeps telling herself was her reason for all of this, Liliana can't provide an answer to the question of what the gods have done other than that their followers will retaliate...for, you know, the Vanguard's endless list of murders. (That is how the Vanguard and Imperium tend to think, huh? "How dare your face get in the way of my boot; how dare you hit me back when I strike you.") She can't even provide a positive answer - why is Predathos better - other than "I feel it", even though Imogen and Fearne know firsthand that Predathos can provide artificial feelings of elation. Given all the harm Ludinus has done in pursuit, why isn't the conclusion "the gods should have crashed Aeor in such a way that the tech was unrecoverable?"

Even as early as the first real discussion on what the party should do, the fandom always stopped short of saying "no, Imogen's right, they should join up with the people who killed half the party," it was always "no, she didn't really mean it, she just was trying to connect with her mother." Well, she's connected with her mother, and at this point the party doesn't even care about the gods particularly (their only divinely-connected party member having died to prevent the Vanguard from killing all of them). So they will stop the Vanguard; as Ashton says, the means are unforgiveable. As Laudna says, it's not safe to bet on Predathos's apathy. As Imogen says, she's done running; the voice that she used to think of as a lifeline belongs to someone she doesn't trust. So I guess my question is: if they're stopping the people who are trying to kill the gods (and defense of the gods isn't remotely their personal motivation)...do you think the next phase of the campaign is Bells Hells personally killing the gods? Reconstructing the Aeor tech and hoping none of their allies notice? How does this end? Does your ideology ever get enacted? Or is this entirely moot and pointless and the story ends with Bells Hells saying "well, I'm really glad we stopped the people who [insert list of Vanguard atrocities from above]; none of us follow the gods or plan to, but honestly, the status quo we return to is preferable to whatever nightmare Ludinus had concocted in his violent quest for power and revenge"?

#i've got a lot to do today so I think I'm done posting but #cr spoilers #i called that this particular cohort of fans had empathy only for those like them and were terrified of player agency like. 18 mos ago #and i have never been proven wrong. zero analysis just a constant demand that everyone coddle their feelings and confirm their biases #literally will straight up fabricate lore and cry you're disrespecting a pretend person for not including it in your considerations #absolutely SHIT understanding of actual lore. utter incapacity to follow a logical throughline to its conclusion #it's like. wow. wonder why you're so focused on hypocrisy and you overreact to the word selfish #the reason they hate or fear orym (they say they don't...but that just means they want him to go to a reeducation camp instead of die) #is bc i think they are truly terrified of the idea that people can not just hold opinions that are against theirs but stand fast by them #easier to stan the villain because then they die and you can feel wronged and betrayed and wallow in a sense of continual victimhood #than to like a character who might last long enough to call you the idiot and asshole that you are #but it's also funny bc literally if orym weren't there in the latest convo the conclusion is the same. #ashton's had the same opinion of the vanguard the whole time (and it's not positive) but that's not under scrutiny #probably bc it doesn't allow people to be ghoulish in the most cringeworthy way possible

like the thing about making janet power hungry and vicious and cold and scary/terrifying and the idea that tim gets all his calculating and terrifying traits from her is that 1) it is the thinnest veiled refrigerator mother trope ever, let us leave that misogynistic nonsense in the 40s and 50s where it didn't belong, but it existed and 2) though it is *so* often used in an outright misogynistic way, even the attempts to frame tim getting his viciousness from her in a positive way leans heavily into misogynistic ideals where the only good woman mother is one whose traits are cold and logical and thereby "manly" (dare i say....male character coded?) in a way that *does* devalue traits like empathy & compassion & caring as strong traits to learn from the source of a female character.

(and let me make it clear! i don't believe these traits are male vs female in real life, of course humans are complex and show a wide range of characteristics and women aren't inherently emotional and men aren't inherently logical. it's just within fiction, it's very telling that the way to make a female character strong is often, lazily, just to give her traits that are usually associated with male characters instead and call that a day. because why make a woman emotional and strong when you could just get rid of all those pesky traditionally feminine coded traits instead #feminism#genderneutralmeansmaleright)

so like, you have janet. and basically before she dies, she is explicitly shown as the more emotional parent before she dies given her two appearances are

she's very visibly the only person in the audience crying at witnessing the tragic death of the flying graysons

she's crying at the terror of being kidnapped

and yea, janet being cast as the more emotional one to jack's firm resolve reeks of good ole 80s sexism (women are hysterical, right?), but when you try to remediate that by making her a cold, vicious, terrifying Strong Woman instead you have just horseshoed around to perform sexism in a different way. why are all her more emotional traits such as caring, compassion, fear removed to make her tim's vicious rol model instead? why aren't those traits seen as good, strong traits for tim to get from her instead? why does his cold viciousness have to his female role models? why is is that when a woman is made to be a strong character positive or negative, the answer is always to make her cold emotionally?

(well, we know why)

#janet drake #'what if janet was an absolute shark that terrified men & tim learned how to shame business partners from her-' #'what if her treatment of people was a sharp as her nails and tim admired this-' #what if she could be both competent and immensely kind have u considered. #what if traits such as empathy and compassion were considered strong and admirable in female characters

u think ur safe till the 1.92 m niqabi pulls out a magical Zweihänder

have a witcher au featuring royal knight Bushra to Fox surly princess with witcher Riyo and instigator/king Ponds!

putting the vague story under the cut for funsies :D

Bushra is Fox’ royal guard, charged with the princess safety and they’re hopelessly in love. Ponds, who’s had enough of of this courtly love and them making terrible love-struck eye contact all day, decides to leave in the knowledge that Fox would never go for her feelings with him present 80 percent of the time. (he’s using the opportunity to investigate a sighting of Jango, who should be very much dead, thank you).

But!

Knowing that Bushra would simply pull double duty and never relax to keep Fox extra safe now, decides to put out a call out for the most ‘diplomatic’ witcher, so Bushra will feel more assured in chilling for a bit.

Riyo has been unwittingly thrown into the whole ordeal and arrives at court because the new king, whomst she and her comerades have never met, declared her presence of ‘utter importance’. She meets the incognito traveling king on her way there and is slightly confused by this stranger casually dropping into convo with her, that does not happen to a witcher, but moves on. Ponds meanwhile has the time of his life, knowing he sent Riyo to Fox, who, famously absolutely does not want anyone she doesn’t know at court, this is more stress, Ponds, why the fuck did you ask for a witcher to come here?!

Shenanigans ensue, Riyo is stuck there now and gets a vague idea of what’s going on by seeing Fox and Bushra interact for 0.5 seconds, so she stays there to play bodyguard and watch those two go on their Not-Dates. (the moment she stepped before Fox, the princess looked at her, said “No.” and walked straight out of the room. There’s a reason Ponds asked for the ‘most diplomatic’ one.)

When Ponds returns mere minutes after Fox has finally asked for Bushra’s hand in marriage, he meets a very exasperated and exhausted Riyo, who marches up to him with a pointed finger and a very angry “Y O U”, to which he goes “who? me? :)”

Fox courted Bushra with another sword btw. She now has another magical one, next to her terrifying Zweihänder :)

#bushra nibira #commander fox #riyo chuchi #commander ponds #everybody gets a magical sword time! #will try n do some stuff with background tomorrow #this was so much fun #also #im of the opinion that those bushra pieces are some of the coolest things ive ever drawn #riyo has a magical arm btw #lost her right one in battle #witcher au #havent drawn these lads in a g e s was fun to go back n fuck about a bit! specially with this kinda style >:D #btw when bushra pulls out her magical zweihand bloodbornes ludwig theme starts playing in the background #specifically phase two #i think phase one are the two swords #this whole thing was absolutely inspired by that post of 'a hijabi wont be terrified of the scary cloaked figure' post #cause then i had the thought of 'Bushra.

Colress: Um, Grim? W-why are you pretending we're all chummy with Ghetsis?

Grimsley: We need money.

Colress: So you’re scamming him?

Grimsley: I was thinking more like flat-out stealing from him.

Colress: *who is VERY aware of what the Shadow Triad and Ghetsis are capable of* What? No way.

Grimsley: Why not? We already stole his puppet king.

N: Hi, new uncles.

Colress: No, we didn't. N is a bright young man - he can do whatever he wants.

N: I wanna steal.

Colress: *mortified gasp*

Grimsley: *cackles*

had a dream I was about to murder the emperor - but let him go out of pity after his pathetic mewling that he's so very scared and pleading and begging for his life. his men abandoned him, and so I was satisfied.

until it turned out some of his men were still loyal, and someone drove a sword right through my heart at the very scene of this sweet near-assassination.

killing me, of course, but also turning me into a horrifying vengeful spirit haunting that very place for centuries. what a sweet dream! so long and so detailed, and so very sweet!

#żmija gada #with some short scenes of my consequent hauntings through the years #very fun #being a ghost was absolutely terrifying and I think painful as well #but so very fun #people were scared!!! awesome

[wataeicentric]

I feel as though people (mostly people who aren't insanely wataeipilled, or involved with shipping in general) are misunderstanding what we're upset about. It's not the simple assumption that we want wataei to be "canon" and that we're upset that that can't happen because of Eichi getting married, it's that HappyEle have been on a character assassination spree recently (Izumi in Mad Party & Kohaku in Last Mission) and we're worried that's going to happen to Wataru and/or Eichi. Regardless of shipping, Eichi never told Wataru, who's supposed to be his "best friend" that he's essentially been engaged to Tori's sister for the best part of a year. If Wataru isn't upset about this, then they've done it once again, because Wataru trusts Eichi to take his mask off around him; whilst the mask is "him", the "mask's purpose" (the title of his card in EP:Link) is to hide oneself. Wataru took it off for EICHI and Eichi ALONE. He put himself on display, allowed his facade to begin to fade around him and be his authentic "self" and opened himself up to possibly even be hurt (which he was immediately, by the way, and CRIED over it. HIBIKI WATARU. CRIED. Because Eichi was indifferent to his confession of love) because he trusts Eichi, and Eichi's told Wataru before (Tempest) that he also trusts him. So, is it or is it not blatant character assassination, and possibly even going back on their more recent development of becoming more honest with each other, if Wataru is not upset with this development?

#Question isn't rhetoric btw I'm open to people disagreeing with me #wataei #eichi tenshouin #tenshouin eichi #wataru hibiki #hibiki wataru #enstars #I hope I don't sound absolutely insane here #i constantly doubt what I'm talking about whenever i talk about them because i'm terrified of being wrong #i personally think that akira will take the story in a preferable direction but we're not wrong for expecting the worst #considering how completely bastardised Izumi's character was in mad party #and how little Kohaku's emotions were payed attention in Last Mission #It's not completely out of nowhere to say 'wataei in atlantis' could possibly be the next on the list #however i sincerely hope they're not #i'd also like to mention how most of us just wanted the story to be about fine reflecting on their development as a unit and as friends #much like crazy:b's and ra*bits' climax events #and some may also be upset that that's not the case #not me personally but something i've heard #valentine's rambles

Hi pookies guess who went through every single individual frame of the teaser and then had the playback speed set all the way down to get this? ME!! Also, not to alarm anybody but the guitar slowed sounds like screaming which really set the tone for what was happening. Also, to confirm, the person who is getting their eye poked by that needle was indeed neither Ivan or Till and it doesn't seem like Till was in the experiments at all but was in an adoption center. Somehow they interacted during this time. Also, another point of mention is that the girl who is crossed out looks the same as the person getting their eye poked simply because of hair texture. This person might be related to Ivan so who knows, but I don't think the red iris is natural anymore which is a point of concern.

Okay bye pookies I have work in the morning <///3

decided I’m still in love with my TOA cat au. Eventually his kids agree to bring him home and take care of him on a schedule and his youngest (who got mysteriously claimed whilst Apollo was a cat) begged and begged to take him home. So the other kids eventually relented and he (loves Warrior cats so much) gave Apollo an honorary Warrior cats name. (Placeholder will be Rufflepaw / Ruffletail bc he’s a teenager cat! Actually no I feel like the teen awkwardness, self-awareness etc. given to Apollo as Lester when he got turned into a teen could correlate to Being A Scared Kitty.) WORSE THOUGHT: what if Apollo had the same identity crisis he did during the series but instead of “Lester” it was “Ruffletail”. How would that make you (me) feel (very upset). OK ACTUALLY INSTEAD, when Apollo completes his trials (?? WAIT. HOW WOULD HE DO THAT HE’S A CAT HANG ON.) and he publishes his book series about his trials he gently reads them to his (very excited) kids as a bedtime story. They all huddle around him (he is the nightlight and the radiator) as he reads and whenever Apollo reads out his identity crisis sections, every time he says his agreed-upon cat name his youngest yells “RUFFLETAIL!!” after it.

#apollo #toa #cat #toa cat au #dadpollo #HYPOTHETICALLY if I were to mirror the character arcs (as much as I could given. CAT) of the og TOA series AND TAKE THIS VERY SERIOUSLY #I would make the parts where Apollo is being cringe and obnoxious to try his hardest to make sure everyone “knows” he’s super selfish #Instead be him pretending to be over dramatic about being a cat. Generally being a nuisance and not cooperating (shitting in the sink). #but when he drops the 50 layers of denial he’s got going on he admits to himself how ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING it is to be an Actual God #who is now a Cat. and how helpless he feels. I think people around him would realise this when he doesn’t manage to #fake being over dramatic well enough people recognise he’s actually very upset and possibly in pain. And are very gentle and quiet with him #(bc he’s literally just a scared shaking cat :((( bless him) #Him realising the consequences of his actions would come from him being much weaker -> knowing what feeling utterly helpless feels like. #Much of the tragedy would come from being unable to communicate or apollogise with people he’s hurt currently (more intense motivation to #Apologise and communicate when he’s a god) #BUT then again this is if you were to take this seriously I like it silly 💃🕺 #I also like that he’s just being rotated around various people’s houses over the summer and Suffering. #Poor baby but also he absolutely deserves it <33 he’s learning!!

Anybody else notice how the Entity is getting not only more complex with every update, but also more and more alive? To the extent that it can now get up and walk? To the extent of implied organs, implied magic? And meanwhile, coincidentally, Grian seems to be losing his sense for his own durability. Stood right there and took a hit from a trident thrown straight up, expecting to live, but didn’t. The surprise in his voice when Keralis was able to take him out in one punch. Having less health than he expected to have is becoming a trend...except for that time in front of the Rift.

“...I didn’t die?”

You know. The last near-death incident before the over-estimations started happening.

Debt is a powerful, powerful thing. Perhaps the Rift, and the Entity it spawned, know that. Perhaps that loan of life to Grian was the permission they needed to start taking back their due - slowly, of course, so that he never quite notices.

Slowly, of course, one sip of life at a time, so that the thing at the other end of the straw can feed in steady peace. Because debt and deals might rule the eldritch, but equivalent exchange rules nature, and the Entity is above all else both. Life cannot simply spring from nothing, not without cause, not without fuel. Grian is the reservoir of life that the Entity is pulling from. As it grows, he depletes.

Maybe the Rift is a conduit, the pipe for the transfer to take place - or maybe it’s the mastermind, or an impassive observer, or hey, maybe it’s just a coincidental tear like any other tear. Randomness is a law of nature too. But the idea that the Entity’s growth will be capped by how much life and power is left to be pulled from Grian is terrifying in MULTIPLE ways and I’ll be turning it over in my brain for the rest of the day at least

#Grian #the Entity #Hermitcraft #''So did Grian completely forget about the cliffhanger from two episodes ago or did he just troll us all by not giving any answers?' #< sentences thought before disaster #the disaster being This Idea #listen #am I stringing together several unconnected coincidences that were almost certainly not intentionally implying anything? yes #should you be even a little bit surprised by that if you have been following this blog for more than a couple months? No #Absolutely The Fuck Not dlfkjsdls #I don't care if it's anything close to what's happening really but it's PLAUSIBLE and that's TERRIFYING #terrifying in the best way #because just. imagine #I'm not usually a non-human Grian headcanoner but ik a lot of people think he's got some vast wells of unused power #and just. the /consequences/ of some parasitic otherworldly Entity choosing that person out of everyone to feed on #could it smell the life that saturated Grian? the power? or was it just coincidence? #/how much bigger will it grow with that as a source to feed on?/ #and in a non-magical Grian scenario it really only gets WORSE #because how long can one human being hold out as the sole source of nourishment for a Thing like that? #is it like a blood donation where the life it takes from Grian will regenerate slowly over time? #leaving him exhausted and weakened but too gradually to notice? just gradually enough to adapt to without thinking? #is that why the Entity is doing this slowly? as a strategy? #....will its patience for strategy run out as the end to its means draws near? #man. man. I love what Grian is doing this season #I've been too exhausted myself to have many writing ideas lately but this is giving me more than I've had in ages #oh ah. also #tw horror #tw parasite #ik there are some people squicked out by the Entity in general so let me know if I've missed any tags for that #but I personally am having the time of my life right now

wishing grelle could have been more of a scary character and less of a comedic relief 💔 look at this potential

#absolutely terrifying woman i love her #just wishing the reapers were a little less human... #i love grelles character development and i love seeing her be more serious #but i think shes allowed a little murder as a treat #kuroshitsuji #grelle sutcliff #black butler
