i need to share the absolute fucking Experience i had playing minecraft tonight. i'm gonna be emotional about it for days
so me and my friends like to play on this server that's pretty much just a bunch of minigames. one of them is Murder Mystery - of a group of - i think its 13/14 people - one person is randomly selected as the murderer (spawns with a sword), the other as the sheriff (spawns with a bow). the rest are innocent. the innocents can gain a bow by collecting coins. no one knows anyone's status unless the player shows their sword/bow. i'm doing a quest where, in order to get points, i need to kill the murderer.
so as the game start countdown begins, me and my pal are checking out this Red Link skin. it's pretty neat! we're all crouching and punching at each other, as one does. i feel a connection form with Red Link. we're buddies now. we're in this together.
so we're all running around the map. every time i see Red Link, we crouch and punch at each other. the game is going fine, we're having fun. i'm delighted that i've made a one-game friend.
then my friend says that Red Link is the murderer, and i literally have a hard time believing it. Red Link? my Red Link? no, they must be mistaken. we were together at the start. they had ample opportunities to kill me. it can't be Red Link. but whoever the murderer killed was the sheriff, and i needed to complete the quest - picking up the sheriff tombstone grants me the bow.
so i run, trying to find it, and i turn the corner.
there Red Link was, standing at the end of the hall, by the tombstone, with a sword in hand. i froze. i was so upset - not Red Link! not my dear companion! i was so sure that was it.
but i walked forward anyway, thinking that maybe if i dodged around them, grabbed the bow, and turned and shot fast enough, i could get them. the thought was actually distressing! Red Link didn't put the sword away. they watched me slowly approach. we stood on either side of the tombstone, and i expected Red Link to cut me down. i was well within reach of their sword.
Red Link calmly, still looking at me, moved to the side and past me. i panicked and grabbed the bow, ran to the corner, turned and drew - Red Link was already at the other end of the hall, running away. i didn't want to shoot, but i needed the kill - who knows when i'd get an opportunity to complete the quest again. it's a tough one.
i missed, thank fuck, but man. i was in shock. i thought i was a goner.
then, after the game where awards are given - the murderer, who killed them, who collected the most coins - i went up to Red Link and crouched. they crouched back.
then they left the game.

Every once in a while some professional parade-pisser comes along like, "oh you like dolphins/chimps/otters/orcas/seals/<insert wild animal species here> do you?? But did you know that they're murderous dicks that kill, maim and torture other animals horribly just for shits and giggles??"
Dude, the internet is built on cat pictures, being a sadistic serial killing asshole is not the PR blow for the animal kingdom you think it is

Obey me lesson 12 thoughts and Solomon
Spoilers ahead for Nightbringer and S2 of ObeyMe
At first I thought maybe the curse originally was going to be forced to keep a promise, like most people. I thought about it and it made very little sense given the music and how Thirteen reacted.
So we get comatose, which makes more sense in context with the music. Actually wait no, we’re literally on the verge of death before we’re taken to the HoL where Simeon casts a spell on us and prevents us from dying. Side boys saving our lives <3
But the thing I wanna really talk about is the implications this has for lesson 11. Since we were kinda going off of the assumption that all promises were bounding we assumed Solomon wanted us to make that promise to stop us from siding against humanity. He said he didn’t remember the rule but we all kinda brushed it off as him lying. But since we now know that the making a promise would’ve killed MC, and thus anyone who makes one, Im inclined to believe Solomon when he said he forgot.
MC’s powers are still working to prevent the traps from being deadly because Mammon is turned into a Lil D when he breaks one, like in S2. So if MC’s powers were protecting themselves even slightly, I shudder to think what would’ve happened otherwise. Probably an instant death if I had to guess.
So with all of this, I believe Solomon truly did forget. He’s having a hard time remembering things from this time. Things were crazy at that moment and it could’ve just as easily slipped his mind. I also think he’s being honest when he says he doesn’t remember why Barbatos hates him, as he insists on it many times. That may be me being naive but I do believe he was telling the truth.
Solomon wouldn’t kill MC. No matter how much of a threat they are to the human realm.
In S2 when our powers were out of control and going to destroy all 3 realms Solomon says he was willing to stab Lucifer originally to protect the human realm but since that would upset MC so he wasn’t going to do it.
He puts MC’s feelings over the safety of not just the human realm, but every realm.
The option of killing you doesn’t come up. He’s not even considering it. You even have the dialogue option when he asks what to do to say something along the lines of “Guess we’ll die” and Solomon’s like “Yeah guess we will”
When I tell you S2 is where I fell in love with this man this is what I mean.
Alls this to say, he wouldn’t risk MC’s life for the safety of the human realm. And with the context of S2 it seems almost obvious. Man is down bad, and while he’d love for you to share his values he wouldn’t kill you or endanger your life if you didn’t.
“I just can’t stand the thought of making you angry…of having you hate me. So now I don’t know what to do.”

Agent Phoenix keeping close with Roxana after the events of 3 is a very cute thought when considering that Phoenix would be likely to help her get her last surviving robot back. But it becomes an increasingly funnier thought when considering how often Phoenix and Roxana would probably be caught by a silly robot making himself at home when the two are trying to be affectionate.
YES!!! my god anon I was just literally thinking of writing something where Phoenix brings Right with them in a road trip to search for Prism and reunite them...
Also, yes, I 1000% agree with the silly robot shenanigans! I don't know how Right would react to that...not that he doesn't trust Phoenix, but more so that Prism having company (that wasn't her coworkers) is a rare sight to him. It's always been her and the robots since they gained sentience, and to see her just........ Content and relieved, with a trustworthy companion.. I think Right would be alright with that! Right would be more incredulous of the fact that Prism is getting cuddly with the agent they just tried to kill recently. Strange............... but they turned out to be really nice, so it's ok :3
...All that said, Right barging in the two being kissy-kissy and snuggly would cause some real funny reactions...mostly from Phoenix, who'd get flustered real quickly LMAO I think Prism would take the time to explain all this to her lil robit...in which Right would absolutely tease Phoenix (and Prism, to a lesser extent) about all that.

I saw your post about Solar Flare and realized that my version of them is so different.
To me they're just a teenager who has to figure out how to live in the world, figure out how to fit in with the family that took them in and raised them (this is more because in my AU they weren't made by Eclipse but by someone else), trying to desperately to be something more than just who they were told to be.
I also have the headcanon that they would be very into anything involving art, any kind of art.
Ref i made of the baby:
ISAC THEY’RE ADORABLE OH MY GHOD ?>?!?>?!?!?>?!!!€!!€>!1
IM GUNNA CRY THEY’RE THE CUTEST THING I’VE EVER SEEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE I HAVE NEVER WANTED TO HOLD A BLORBO SO GENTLY IN MY PALMS BEFORE IN MY LIFEEEEEE AAAUAUGHGHHHHHH THEY’RE SO DELIGHTFULLLLL
I WOULD DIE FOR THEM. I WOULD STRAIGHT UP LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR THEM IF NEED BE. I LOVE YOUR SOLAR FLARE SO DEARLY FOREVER
