#A Monster's Threads
Note
That one scene in AMT
LOL Presented without ANY context lmao
Also it was purely a coincidence that Sephiroth ate pasta in that chapter. I had no idea about his canonical love for the stuff when I was writing it. It still makes me happy to this day.

A medley of One Winged Angel, Shinra's Theme, JENOVA, The Price of Freedom, and the main theme of FFVII.
A Monster's Threads is a Sephiroth novel fic created by @altocat of Sephiroth's entire life before he fell into the Life Stream. (released before Ever Crisis and FFVII Rebirth) and it is an incredible read. Give it a read over on AO3 if you haven't already. The ending of this piece is completely different than my last AMT piece and honestly REALLY fun to play.
I had some time to myself today in a quiet area to record. Thus, this is Actual playing this time. I will fully update AMTs OST with more instruments at some point, but this is the best I can do for now. The only editing done was just to cut the silence before I began and after I ended.

seeing everyone just mindlessly sign up for threads despite all the clear warning signs feels like I’m living in Sailor Moon or a magical girl anime episode where the Monster of the Day just set up shop over night and their product is literally draining your lifeforce for the Dark Kingdom but people keep going there

love when you can ask the Narrator why the Princess is a Princess and he's like 'well i uhhhh YOU did that. maybe it's because uh... something something about her being above you... but still approachable... look i don't want to analyze or anthropomorphize your--' my guy. i am a primal being of Order and Eternity and Shaping. You're the one who convinced me I was some dude and were quite willing to take credit for shaping my view on the world through narration five seconds ago. Are you gonna look me in the eye and tell me the desire to interpret something worthy of adoration and more powerful than me as a dommy princess is written in the very nature of the universe or are you going to show me your browser history like a man
#this is a joke but the 'so where did i get the Idea of a princess from??' still stands#since we remember nothing and don't seem to have many ideas about like. what the world looks like#but when given the conception of 'we're a hero' from the narrator's Quest#we immediately go to 'so the thing you're telling us to kill is a Princess' -> i.e something I'm not SUPPOSED to kill#and in fact am supposed to respect and cherish#and/or pledge eternal loyalty to#(and then on a deeper level we KNOW that we're the dragon#we're the biggest threat to her we're what has the power to trap her and keep her here#we're a monster just like her)#but my point remains. as a god-entity stripped of memory where did we get the idea of a (human/like) Princess. do we still have like...#the threads of common narratives sort of built into our structure b/c we're the god-half concerned with Shaping and Naming and Order?#that would kind of slap#anyway uh. dragging myself offstage now#slay the princess#slay the princess spoilers#stp spoilers

what constitutes being a monster in spn is so deeply interesting bc so much of the show is used to argue that monstrosity is not about what you are but what you do. And that you can always be a better person, your monstrous traits aren’t necessarily actually monstrous.
but as the show goes on we learn that this is only true if dean deems you human. So sams monstrous traits must be buried deep and thrown out in order for him to be good. Sams monstrous friends are inherently evil bc dean says so. Deans monstrous friends are fine though, of course.
I’m just eternally wishing for a version of this show where sams abilities are so deeply ingrained in him that he can’t ever get rid of them. And he’s allowed to be a hero regardless. Give me a season 5 where sams eyes randomly go yellow. Or he has to deal with demon traps or he needs to control his emotions bc anger from him can be literally explosive, but regardless of all of this he still shows dean more compassion than dean ever leant to him in season 4. And regardless of all this he still beats the devil.
#Fr the thread they play with abt what makes a monster in s1-4 is my favorite thing about the show bar none#and I always personally just view it as ‘of course Sam is right. It’s about your actions more than anything else’#despite the fact that the show essentially ends up arguing the opposite#and ends up being like ‘NO. You BURY that shit. You take anything that makes you a freak and you do EVERYTHING you can to get rid of it’ <3#Anyways. I love this show and it makes me really sad#spn#lea speaks#I’m sure this is incoherent#I’m making a lot of personal posts bc it’s rly late and I’ve had v little sleep and I’ve felt kinda bad all day#my filter is low

Starting Binderary with my first commission!
This is a campaign-specific A4 notebook for the GM of our ttrpg group. We’re playing Monster of the Week, so the notebook is themed after the SCP Agency-type organization, B.R.I.G.H.T. (Bureau of Ratification of Idiosyncratic Genesis and Holistic Termination) that employs all the player characters.
The inside of the front cover has the Bureau’s covenants, and the inside of the back cover has an envelope attached (yellow envelopes are how the PCs in-game get their briefings and additional resources from the HQ). I printed out some handouts for the GM’s future players, and the smaller envelope contains some stickers with cryptids defeated by our group.
This was my first time using a foil quill, what fun!

this thread is fucking long and the cut is in an awkward place just bear with it please
so werewolves are a stock horror villain (and the posts directly below this one are about that! go look at them) and don’t get me wrong i love werewolf horrorsmut but i want to see more of:
werewolves who just aren’t scary in any way. like sure the shift may be scary. they may look kinda scary. but they’re just people like everyone else even if they are more ruled by instinct than the average human. i think stuff like that is a nice way to explore what it means to be a person and how humanity can be a fluid category, especially when the werewolves in question are transgender/disabled/personality disorder coded.
like i want some wholesome shit about werewolves who can’t even pass as ambiguously human. they’re just very overtly werewolves: massive sharp, snarling bundles of taut muscles and sinew, 8, 9 feet tall, who are very capable of snapping and killing everything around them
but don’t. because they’re treated well and loved even though they’re not like everyone else. and it doesn’t matter that they aren’t, because they are like everyone else even if they’re not. i know that sounds a bit confusing on the face but i mean stuff like:
- “oh yeah no worries, Sharon from accounting’s a wolf too! no no we love her! remember when we went to topgolf for that company outing? they couldn’t find any clubs in her size so she outdrove us all with clubs a foot too short it was hysterical!”
- “all right you should be scheduled for this week! next two weeks are the same? no right of course not because you need moon days. yeah that’s totally fine i will get that in to HR and you should be all good!”
- “is- no it’s fine- is it ok if i stay shifted in here? the pain is less bad when i’m shifted. no i have no idea why lol. you’re sure? the shedding is ok and everything? aww sweetie i love you too!”
- “i mean, hip dysplasia is normal in wolves your age, and you had fairly active teenage years, so it happens. it’s not anything to worry about though, i’ll get you in contact with a fantastic physical therapist! no she specializes in wolf patients. she’s great at what she does, i promise. i’ll get you a month of painkillers but over-the-counter should work alright too. take these, go to therapy, and if it’s still doing that in a month come back and we can try something else.”
- “hey, baby, look at me. i know people are staring at you. you don’t need to care about them. you have just as much right to be here as they do. just ignore them.”
- “no i’m absolutely not mad at you! you can’t control that happening! no it was a full moon what the fuck were you supposed to do? look, i can replace the couch you mauled and the TV and vases you broke but i can’t replace you getting hurt because you tried to stave off the shift. we’ll go shopping for new ones together, ok? and we’ll get some cheap shit you can break for next month and a couple steaks for you to fuck up. i promise i’m not mad- hey get off me you big lug stop fucking licking me your mouth tastes like couch cushions…”
- “it’s actually so real to be worried about hurting your human partner in bed. you won’t hurt her, dude, i’ve known her for years you should be more scared of her than she is of you. they make, like, these rings. it’s like a silicone spacer- no it goes on your dick, idiot. it’s so you don’t like fuck into her cervix or whatever. supposedly those help? idk if they come in wolf sizes though.”
show me the negative stuff, too. show me:
- werewolves who muzzle themselves in cities even though it’s only a first quarter moon because they’re scared they’ll snap and hurt someone even though that fear makes them so careful around everyone they never would
- wolves who have moon trackers on their phone because they need to know when they’re going to get forced into a shift so they can get away from everyone because they don’t want to get violent but they can’t control it and the last time they were around someone she ended up in the hospital. she’s really understanding about it and they’re friends now but it doesn’t make it feel any less horrible
- wolves who get asked every single fucking time they get nice dinner, “so do you want your steak cooked, or what?” by waiters who think they’re funny but really aren’t
- werewolves who walk on eggshells in public because they know if they make any minor mistake or show any aggression whatsoever the pundits on the news will talk about “a werewolf snarled at my kid today. i mean i try to be trusting but you never know with those people. they have those fangs for a reason is all i’m saying.”
- werewolves who are scared to shift in public for the same reason as above, because they know how they’ll be perceived if they show people they’re a wolf
- werewolves who can’t find wolf doctors in their area so they keep going back to human doctors who don’t know how the fuck to treat their unique health conditions and when they complain about this they get a flippant “have you tried a veterinarian?”
- werewolves in therapy because their last relationship was with a human who sucked and it was really bad and that trauma has manifested as resource guarding and reactivity issues and it’s causing problems at work
i love this stuff. i want more. i also cannot write conclusion paragraphs to save my life so this is the end now. thanks for reading all this if you’re reading this.
😊

I have no self control
This piece is for "A Monster's Threads" by @altocat , an absolutely incredible fic depicting Sephiroth from birth to the end of the Nibelheim incident. This piece uses various songs to piece together Sephiroth's life, as Alto did in her writing. In no particular order: J-E-N-O-V-A, Shinra, The Price of Freedom, and various sections of One Winged Angel, are all present in this piece.
From Birth -> Drop -> Childhood -> Training -> Rain -> Panic -> War -> Infection -> Madness -> Death
Each change in the piece is a different phase of Sephiroth's life. This was made not only by the request of Alto, but because this fic genuinely had me in awe. Please read it. It is my highest recommendation.
(Bonus points to whoever figures out what the first 8 notes are before the end)

he hated being back in this town, he hated the memories of his god awful father, hated the memories of a summer he'd never truly recovered from and definitely didn't want to remember. but of course, it was unavoidable. luke had to up and die and leave josh with no option but to come and arrange things. he had opted for bringing his wife with him, it seemed appropriate, and the perfect distraction, and had hopefully convinced riley to stay at home, even if he didn't believe they'd leave him here alone.
they'd decided to head to the only bar in town that night, it was much friendlier than their run down old room at the only motel in town. josh was glad to have her there, even if it felt like having her here was something of a lie about who he was. joshua always felt like a lie here. the two swayed to the music, entertaining themselves, at least until the door opened and a familiar face stepped in. josh froze for a moment, a somewhat nervous smile touching his mouth.
