#this is a long time beforehand

[wreckedhoney]

MASSIVE SPOILER for one of the endings.

it's been a while since i tried looking, but i did hear that something like this happens last year and over time started to think, "was it a fluke?" bc no one posted footage or caps of it then, and i aimed for a completionist run in my first playthrough. turns out it's real! and definitely shines a new light on a character that, for most other types of playthroughs, will not give this much emotion! EDIT: transcript now included, and some stillshots under the cut

[0:28] Marie: Henry, this is the man who kept you from doing the right thing tonight. Kill him. [0:15] Forrest: Henry, you don’t have to do this. If you’ve not killed anyone yet, there’s still time to make the right decision. [0:05] Out of shot: (Gunshots) Henderson Police! Freeze! Marie: No! Henry, get out of there!

#killer frequency #henry barrow #these hands……… #so yes MORE spoilers and further commentary ahead here in the tags: #yes this is a fairly tragic ending if you already know how to get it. but again TERRIFIC VOICE ACTING BEFOREHAND AND AFTER. #feel free to reply in post if you want to ask about that part. #i didn't include that in the vid bc it's so visceral and raw but i love their performances. that shit hit hard dang. #but i want to ask anyone if their perspective on henry changes after seeing this? mine does tbh. i didn't expect a possible show of remorse #like at most hesitation! but bc of the context of forrest's dialogue- does it lean into remorse? a large definite shift in his mind! #even if he Has killed already then he's still taking forrest's words to heart and reconsidering everything which DAMN- #-my videogamey headcanon of forrest's character stats showing his Persuasion and Charm MAXED OUT is pulling tf through here!! #also can anyone reply re: would forrest's dialogue change but he still survives if henry kills maurice or murphy? or would forrest die? #and if the devs Actually gave henry other official kills in the game but didn't disclose them in the narrative- then is this the test? #like if henry kills AT ALL in game even though the player isn't privy to knowing which victims are his then is this ending unattainable? #also placing this scene/character moment behind THIS ENDING SPECIFICALLY heck that's cold. dang fellas. #going to eventually pull out a hc i've been holding back for a long time in a later post and i'll mention this scene again then- #-but this part in particular as well as another “easter egg” has really put more fuel to it

it’s all the rest of what i want with you

connor dewar/brandon duhaime :: 8k

Summary:

“Brandon,” Connor says with a sigh. “There’s no baby in there.”

“Not yet,” Brandon says. Connor feels his stomach twist, almost like what he would imagine a baby kicking to feel like.

#OFFICIAL FIC ANNOUNCEMENT 🗣️🗣️🗣️‼️‼️‼️ i wish i had pretty fic graphics but alas i have No Skill and also. so much work i should be doing bu #HI SHE’S HERE i would love to say this is a complete surprise drop except i have Anxiety & i needed to ask you guys about it beforehand #in my defense i started writing this in like. january far before any tragedy occurred #because square asked about my tags on their dewey2 art and she spawned like. a million more thoughts about it #including the part where i got absolutely kicked in the face with the lightning vision of those two lines. #like those two lines are the first actual lines of the fic i wrote ajdhkwdiowdjiw ANYWAY please be nice to me i know i am always like #‘this is not the first real fic i ever thought i’d post’ and if i had a nickel i’d have three but this is the first pwp i’ve ever posted #and it’s 8k and it’s not a fic for an exchange (although technically i did very much write this for the dewey^2 hivemind so.) #i have SO many things to say i have so many comments on this doc also i couldn’t pick a title for the LONGEST time and i finally decided on #this one but the full quote was too long: #all the rest of what i want with you that scares me shitless #so. i was angling SO hard to make a yung gravy lyric as a title bc i saw the video of him at a wild game but i couldn’t find a good one #and instead y’all got a very sentimental title l m a o. #liv in the replies #shout out to the extended universe this lives in and also my unhinged comments in the docs. #if you liked fun fuck a baby in him friday i’ll be here all week i promise i am the exact same in the comments as i am in the tags 🫡 #the NUMBER of times i wrote something in this by pulling it out of my ass and then actually went back and did the research & was RIGHT is. #far too high. also the amount of coincidental things that dropped while i was writing this (yung gravy song about pregnancy AFTER i wheeze #laughed myself into a yung gravy title the athletic player poll confirming my restaurant & bar choices from googling ‘st. paul good bars’…) #also if anybody got advice on formatting for these little announcements. help. this is different from my miro/luka one &i’m still not happy

I've been doing a lot of grocery delivery in the country lately, so I ordered myself a nice bumper sticker so I fit in with everyone else's stuff :)

I've seen a lot of these lately, but they were all of a pride flag I don't recognize. Not sure which gender/sexuality has the red and white stripes with the blue with white stars in the corner, but I guess it's an ok design. The rainbow is the traditional LGBT flag, though, so I feel it symbolizes the collective queer community a little better and will be a little more noticeable/recognizable than niche flags, like this stars and stripes guy.

#queer #pride #rainbow #flag #gay #lgbt #fr tho I've seen so many q-anon and trump stickers that i feel like this'll either be really funny or I'll get my windows smashed in #for some reason the country here isn't just chill people eeking out a living doing what they can #it's all super well off people who immigrated from elsewhere in the us and are incredibly aggressive #I'm from the middle of nowhere. country folk are typically very kind even if they're a little ignorant to shit like being gay or trans. #but this is the kind of people where i got called a dyke twice just walking through kroger #i had the person behind me at mcdonalds yelling about my sticker that says i don't break for kids #anyone i know who has lived in that area for a long time hates all these new people #they've driven up housing prices to be just as much as in the city. they're all republicans who fled California or Illinois... #...and they brought with them their more radical views and hateful big-city attitudes #like yeah. this wasn't a place to be comfortably out as gay beforehand. now it's actively hostile instead of you get weird stares kinda shit

[i-really-like-phrogs]

Continuing with the theme of alien Lesbians, here’s a little stampy stamp I had made in high hopes that my art class would have us carving linoleum. (I am quite sad to report that I was wrong 🥲)

#lgbt #lesbian pride #wlw #mlm #queer #gay pride #aliencore #stamp carving #procreate #my art #I hope I’ll still get to use it later in the year. 🤞 #If we do get to- I will be so grateful I made the design a long time beforehand #Brainstorming takes me forever- I usually spend two thirds of the project trying to figure out what the heck I wanna do

Transcript:

Norma: It’s not uncommon to find yourself on the wrong path in life, Oscar. Try not to beat yourself up too much. Oscar: I could’ve turned back earlier-.. I don’t know why I didn’t. Courtney reckons it was fate. Norma: That’s one way of looking at it.

Oscar: I was in a bad place.. ignoring everything seemed easier at the time, but the more we got involved, the less freedom we had. I figured they’d get bored eventually, y’know? Find someone better suited to the job than a depressed junkie. Norma: Bumping into Kate, that changed things for you?

Oscar: It felt so personal in comparison-.. these were innocent people; people I knew. I couldn’t sit on it. I knew the cops were in on it as well, so I took her to the only person I thought I could trust. Norma: Joslyn.

Oscar: [nods] She helped Kate, but she couldn’t help us, not after being promoted by Spencer. Norma: She tried her best. Oscar: That Agent Key guy was twice as useless as her, he fucking ghosted us.

Norma: Well, I looked into that after Joslyn told me about it. He had a heart attack-.. recovered just fine, but chose to retire early. The importance of your case was most likely lost amongst a mountain of paperwork. Those local departments are horrendously unorganised, bound by red tape; it should’ve landed on our desk.

Oscar: I was pissed that no one seemed interested-.. but I’m stubborn, so I figured I’d write it up myself, take it to the top. I kinda got waylaid though; Del Sol, Courtney got pregnant, I checked myself into rehab.. it’s all a bit of a blur. Norma: Do you know why Wyatt sent Courtney to Del Sol?

Oscar: It turns out they’d met outside all this; maybe he was jealous, suspicious, unhinged.. all three? The weirdest thing is, after all that, he turned around and helped us? I don’t get it. Norma: Really? That’s interesting.

Oscar: For some reason, yeah. He helped us expose Spencer. Norma: Is there any chance he could’ve felt guilty-.. had a change of heart? Oscar: [scoffs] I doubt it, he’s a pretty disturbed guy.

Norma: It’s no wonder, growing up in that environment. Oscar: He doesn’t deserve an excuse. Norma: Now, now.. don’t get all bitter; we never truly know other people’s intentions. We can guess, but still…

Oscar: It’s hard not to be. Norma: I’m sorry that you fell through the cracks, Oscar.. I really am. If you were a CI, or even an undercover agent, you would’ve been pulled out of this situation a long long time ago. The fact that you persevered is admirable.

Oscar: [sighs] I just-.. I wish Courtney hadn’t been dragged into it. Norma: Life’s too short for regret, dust yourself off and move on. Oscar: How can I move on when-…

Norma: We have a name, a place-.. Eugene’s already in Del Sol; it’s only a matter of time, trust me. Oscar: I suppose it’s your job now. Norma: [chuckles] Not one to hand over the reins easily, are you? You and your friends got us this far, we’ll do the rest.

Oscar: [nods] Thanks for being one of the good ones-.. I think? You haven’t been a dick to us, at least. Norma: Aha, the key is to pick your battles. You’re not the real bad guys here. Oscar: Are you, uh-.. we’re not gonna need lawyers once you’ve wrapped up in Del Sol, are we?

Norma: No, there’s no evidence against any of you; some dealings here and there, racketeering, assault-.. whatever else? Some of our agents do much worse, it’s a means to an end… I told Bruno we don’t always do things by the book, and I meant it. Oscar: That’s.. good to know.

Norma: [nods resolutely] Such a remarkable story-.. anyway, I think you’ve given me enough of your time. Oscar: Well.. I didn’t think I’d be saying this, but it was nice meeting you. Norma: Likewise! I’ll be sure to let you know of our progress, okay? In the meantime, you ought to try and give yourself a break.

#somnium #sims 4 #storytelling #ts4 story #sims story #simblr #oscar finch #norma forbes #they would've talked more beforehand ofc.. but this post was long enough lol #maybe this is long winded and confusing if you haven't read the whole thing #but that's sort of the point #oscar's had a long arduous confusing time of it all #>.< #but at least he feels a lil bit less suspicious of norma and co. now #she's being sincere i swear!! #but if you still don't trust her/me.. well ig i did my job #lmaoooo

[Just a general reminder for those who roleplay: make sure you don't dictate other characters' actions and feelings in your asks and replies ☺️ Nobody wants to have their autonomy taken away! If you really want to make your intent known, instead of writing "He hugs her" try "He makes a move to hug her", "He attempts to hug her", "You can see it in his eyes that he wants to hug her", and so on. That way the other character can change the narrative if they are uncomfortable 🫂. But even in that case they are not obligated to reply and you should respect that.

And if you think that nobody is interested in your blog — I guarantee it's not the case! Chances are, not that many people know about your OC/MC/character you play so try to put yourself out there! Engage with people! Send asks, write replies, do reblogs, DM if you have any questions or if it puts your mind at ease before plunging into rp! I know it's hard if you're a shy or reserved person. But nobody else can solve this for you 🫂 ]

(about Izzy as tragic character, just a warning)

after drying my tears, I have another complaint: if they really wanted Izzy to be the tragic character (it would still hurt and made people mad probably), for him to die and take the blame on himself and all that, they should commit to this goddammit it. Do it properly like s2e1&2. If they haven't really reconcile, at least Izzy never truly addressed his trauma, they didn't have the talk or anything, they should go that tragic path full force. Edizzy dynamic until now was incredible, complicated, fucked up, codependent and if they had to kill him without letting him to fully grow, they should fuckin commit to this. It was too short, too sudden and too short again. We didn't get a heroic death nor a fully tragic one. Yeah, Izzy's speach was skickeningly sad (when it made sense, it not always did) but like, compare this to their scenes in s2e1&2. It just looks like nothing, it looks pathetic

#I know how distressing reading all those analysis is so I wanted to warn you beforehand #Not a nice feeling when you're in the middle of a long post just to realize the op is actually praising the finale #E8 #Edizzy #I love e1&2 #They show their fucked up relationship so much better #There's so much going on #About both of them #The words the subtext the metaphors the hidden emotions in their eyes #The time needed to do all that #Ending of e2 was perfect #That here was just short speech #It's like they didn't have the time to show so they just spelled it out #It felt like a speedrun #Ofmd s2 #izzy hands

[seeliragh-fr]

figuring out the character designs of some of my oldest fr characters... cal and broom have been around since . 2015 . they are bestfriendsforever now but this image would be from back when they Did Not Get Along

#flight rising #seeliragh art #there will be real art of them later but i needed to figure out what they actually look like beforehand #what if we started living at the big crazy temple at the same time and we each despised the reflection of ourselves in the other... #and we were both boys <3 #making long hair look good on a ridgeback was kind of tough but we made it

[petrovna-zamo]

So jealous you love in la i bet the show was so good😭 also love that orville wears his mask everywhere lmao

It definitely has its pros and cons but living in a city where pretty much every artist performs is definitely at the top of the pro list! And it’s kinda funny when T&K reference local things like this that I just so happened to be at too lol

Honestly it was such a good show 😭 I love Tina& Amy so much and have been fans of them for forever so it was everything I expected and more. I know they’re touring through next year and hopefully they keep adding more cities so you can see them too!

Also, seeing Orville irl was so funny because the hat and mask are his disguises but it actually just makes him stand out more so the whole YouTube theater saw him come in. He also sat down like right before the show started and everyone else was already seated so there was a hush over the crowd as everyone watched him. Idk I laughed. Also also my friend was seated a few rows behind him and he blocked the view with his giant cowboy hat so she took a picture and since I was seated a few rows in front you can see the back of my head… and that’s how I technically have a picture with Orville Peck lmao

#sorry that was long #more story time from me lol #I was at both T&K live shows in LA last year and I was going to do a write up about it because they made some changes but never did whoops #so I guess I kinda did just now? #I was also supposed to go to both LA&SD pods so if I can make the rescheduled dates I’ll for sure post about those #since they’re still not recording most of them #I actually emailed the production company to find out which pods they would be recording #they said they couldn’t share but that a big factor was not all theaters will allow them to record #so that’s more of a reason why than them just wanting to pretend to save stories lol #which they can never remember anyways so it doesn’t really matter! #so yeah NOLA was recorded and Houston/Minneapolis/Montreal weren’t literally because of theater viewing rights #which you would think they could just plan for beforehand? #but I also believe that they do want to make some of the shows special and unique and not recording takes the pressure off #to have new stories every time #also the reactions to the live pod really vary and now I think they should save them too #it’s funner to see them irl and have it live it the moment anyways #okay I swear I’m done now

[savetheghost]

save do you have any tips for managing migraines

uhhhhhh lessee

personally i have prescriptions for it cause mine screwed my brain up but obvious ones like proper rest + maybe log what you eat and see if theres any correlation + general put nutrients in your body stuff which is actually kind of hard to keep track of

i have some REALLY WEIRD scent based triggers so i have to stay away from ammonia-like scents and eucalyptus cause those will put my ass out flat IMMEDIATELY, thats not an everyone thing but maybe note if theres sensory stuff around you that might be a trigger

for me warm toned lights and screen tints are way better than cool tones/white light and if youve got light colored eyes wear amber tinted sunglasses outdoors

water + salty snack > pedialite > gatorade and depending on caffeine sensitivity maybe moderate that cause it can either help or hurt, kinda depends on the person, but water and saltines will get you electrolytes and its cheap as fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck even if it doesnt taste as great as gatorade

sunlight on your skin and not in your eyeballs

also vitamin d just in general helps but its way better to actually use the sun for that than trying to digest it so like just 10ish minutes in the sun is what my neurologist recommended on top of taking 2000mg tablets

thats what ive got off the top of my head

#im not a neurologist but i dont get them as bad anymore at least #also if learning what you feel like beforehand so you can nip it before it starts helps a LOT #if you can take a painkiller before it starts itll do way more for you #but also dont undertreat it like dont stick it out thats what fucked me up hardcore just take the painkiller #i have to take at least 800mg of ibuprofen if i even sniff a migraine coming on but check with a doc before you do that #i also gotta pair it with sumatriptan and i can only do that 3 times a month Or Else #if ibuprofen doesnt knock it outta me its an er trip and they stuff an iv in me and pump my ass so full of drugs #oh also too much water can also cause migraines #best to stick with the 8 8oz a day thing and not go too far over #but yeah being proactive and preventative is better than coasting and treating them when they come #sometimes ill sip a little pickle juice causenits got magnesium and potassium on top of the sodium for electrolytes #i know food logs arent GREAT but they can help with stuff like this even just kinda checking in on if youre getting everything you need #i go sorta peasant with it like as long as ive had a couple greens in a week i should be good to go #snap peas or artichoke hearts or other really solid veggables #or #god bless #The Cucumber #cucumbers are the powerhouse of the vegatable

now that i'm home and in moderate pain that isn't helped by the painkillers i get to repeat my favorite joke!

ah yes my favorite kind of painkillers. the ones that don't work.

#i'm so angry at myself. and my mother. #also everyone at the hospital who told me to stop screaming in pain. fuck them too. #fuck them especially. fuck them ESPECIALLY for being like #''haha what a voice she has'' about me SCREAMING AND CRYING BECAUSE OF PAIN #why didn't i just fucking leave beforehand. i even thought about it #my mother tried to tell me that i should have just started an actual discussion with her about the surgery #yes i should have. but have you ever considered taking my emotional pain seriously. even if im crying #every time she asked me i said i wasn't sure. #why did i do it. #and honestly why did i even live long enough for this #i'm so fucking angry at myself.

The management at my old apartment stole my fucking bike

#apparently theyve been mass 'confiscating' bikes off peoples porches without telling anyone that theyre taking them #i dont know how long mine has been gone bc i didnt notice it was missing until i went to load it into my car to move it #but if its been more than (i think) 30 days then it would be considered forfeit and they would have already sold/claimed/trashed it by now #my gf and i saw a whole pile of 20+ confiscated bikes near the maintenance building but it doesnt look like mine was in it #i called them today to ask about it and they told me that for them to look for it i would need to provide a photo to prove its mine?? #its MY bike! you stole it off my porch. how tf was i supposed to know that i needed to take a picture of it beforehand #they told us we can go check out the pile so me and my gf are gonna go look more thoroughly now that we're officially allowed #but if its IN the maintenance building we wont be able to find it #and if they already sold it or took it home with them or threw it away then it also wont be there #and i cant even ask them to confirm when they took it / if its already gone #bc it looks like theyve been doing this with dozens of bikes over the past few months so how would they even remember one specific one #what the fuck #rambling #also to be clear: they arent being confiscated BECAUSE theyre on the porches #the bikes are supposed to be under the stairwell and thats where mine was #my neighbors who leave their kids bikes piled on their side in the yard got to keep theirs #theyve been doing unscheduled porch painting without any sort of warning or notice on and off since like december tho #so my only guess is that they decided since they werent giving us any notice to move our stuff off the porch ahead of time #they decided to just move straight into confiscating everything off of the porches and hoping no one would call them out on it #which is fucking bullshit
