i apologize if this could be seen as offensive (i'm not familiar with writer's etiquette), but your fic angel of music is my favorite one of your so far!! i always love shanks, mihawk, and uta fics, but there was just something SPECIAL about the scene where uta loses control and mihawk goes all out. the feeling i felt while reading was very similar to the one i had when watching gear5 for the first time... <3

pokemon has jaded me so much that when i go to kirby (which id easily claim is the special interest directly behind pokemon in my brain) im like automatically not expecting that much and im actually amazed in the end when it delivers like every time. man i really do need to play more video games. its hard when the only thing i have is a mac and a switch tho :(
#i think the one time i can say i was really disappointed was kirby battle royale bc it wasnt fun#thats like. it. i havent tried many of the side games that have come out like fighters 2#but even with stuff people didnt care for in general like star allies? i cant say i was disappointed at all i have good memories w that game#dream friend wave hype was so much fun for me at the time and i love the lore that came with it#and playing as all the fan favorites is fun. its not my favorite and yeah the balancing was pretty bad but like#i sure as hell enjoy it more than the pokemon games that came around around that time#like i was honestly paranoid that rtdl dx would be a soulless cash grab with no new content and just a bit of pandering to appease ppl#but its not they honestly went all out with it and the magolor epilogue isnt devoid of content at all#or an attempt to cash in on magolor being a fan favorite it feels like a genuine tribute to him and an attempt to redeem him#sure it didnt add quite as much as super star ultra did to super star#but that feels hard to compare bc super star was in need of a remaster and had a lot of room for more content#bc it was framed as a pack of games instead of one long one so they added some more short games#while rtdl is two full length games already in one with like two subgames and the arenas#so epilogue and merry magoland are more than enough for me#i was expecting there to be like nothing and a noticeable downgrade in quality from the original and its not#see pokemon is a good interest to have. it makes me appreciate other games more.#echoed voice

Every week I try my best to rush things and help with parts that are not mine so we can pass the class and everytime im let down because no one wants to fucking work
#i tried...so hard...to do as much as i could very early even though i could have worked on other stuff#just so the others could have an easier time with their parts#and yet of course once again they left everything for the night before#i hope they die and go to hell#im so tired#i dont even have the energy to get mad at them im just. disappointed. in me being such a fucking idiot#i should just give up. i dont know why i keep trying#i cant complain because everyone will just tell me 'well then fix it yourself' i cant i was barely able to get the drawing program working#maybe im tired of always fixing everything for everyone else. why. i never get anything in return#i just get sadder and sadder while i have to see others try to play victlms and oh how hard they have it even though they never do shit#i cant trust next week will be better#they will just not work again. and then we will not have the opportunity for a second chance#and then i'll have to spend all the winter holiday working while those two just stare at me and act like of course we will work this time :)#its. embarrasing. i cant enter that class. this is so embarrasing#a lot of the stuff i did wasnt even added so it feels like i worked for nothing#im so tired and sure those two jerks are sleeping like nothing while im over here going manic at the thought of how bad everythings gonna go#and you know whats worse? i know its because they keep waiting for me to swoop in and do everything#they tried to convince me to do stuff and then when i said i didnt have the means tried to rope me into using theirs#yknow. do the job THEY could do while they prioritized something else#who cares about me. poor poor them have so many deadlines and are sad and whatever the fuck excuse they like to throw#im sad af too and im still trying. you guys arent helping. no ones helping#haunted.txt

"Husband-y"
Taehyung x Reader
Summary: A cozy evening at home leads to talk of the future, and an important question.
Warnings: none
A/N: Thank you to the lovely anon who requested this, I got so soft writing this omg! I'm finally starting to catch up on all the requests from last week, so they'll hopefully be going up in the next couple days💜
Masterlist
Requests are open
°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•
You don't know what you did to deserve Kim Taehyung.
Earlier, you had swore you were about to collapse from exhaustion as you dragged yourself home from work, slumping against the door to push it closed behind you, expecting to be greeted by the typical dark and quiet of your appartment.
What you had been met with, however, was the soothing mix of music drifting from the stereo in the living room and faint humming from the kitchen, accompanied by the warm, savory scent of cooking.
Curiously, you had crept down the hall and peeked around the doorway, grinning as your eyes landed on a familiar figure. Taking a moment to admire him as he worked before making your presence known, you noted the way his hair fell over his eyes as he leaned over, his nose scrunching up slightly as he tasted something before nodding to himself.
"Whatcha making?" He jumped slightly at the sound of your voice, turning to you with a massive grin.
"Ah, pasta, I think." He said, coming over a pressing quick kiss to your lips. "How was your day?"
"Better now. Is that my apron?" You asked, toying with the ties around his waist.
"Maybe, is that okay?"
"Yeah, just surprising, I'm not used to you cooking."
"I wanted to surprise you." He said, pressing another kiss to your temple before pulling away to check the pans on the stove. "Why don't you go wash up? This should be done soon."
"You sure you don't need any help?"
"I'm sure. This is my kitchen tonight, get out." He said with faux authority.
"Yes Sir." You played along, giving him a tiny salute before retreating to your room.
By the time you returned, he had everything set on the table, complete with candles for mood lighting. You couldn't wipe the amused grin off your face as you watched him milling back and forth, putting on the finish touches, refusing again to let you help.
"What?" He asked, noticing your eyes on him again.
"You're just being really cute." You said, propping your chin in your hand as you watched him.
"Am I now?" He grinned.
"Mhm, very house husband-y."
"Husband?" He raised a brow at you, making you start to backtrack before he chuckled.
"I think I like that." He mused, resuming his task, leaving you to fight back the faint, embarrassed heat in your cheeks.
Now, as you lay in bed, his head resting on you chest, sleep threatening to overtake you as you talked, you'd never felt more content.
"Thank you for tonight." You said, playing with his hair. "It was really nice."
"I'm glad, I like getting to look after you." He said, adding after a moment. "I liked what you said earlier too, about me feeling husband-y."
"Really?" You glanced down at him.
"Mhm, I wasnt sure if you thought about that kind of stuff." He said, fiddling with the hem of your t-shirt.
"I think about it lot, actually." You admitted.
"Really?" It was his turn to ask.
"Yeah."
"What do you think about?" He asked.
"I dunno, lots of things... Sometimes I think about where we'd live. Like, I know we'd have to stay in Seoul most of the time, but I wondered if you'd want another place closer to your family, so we could visit them more, or somewhere totally different like New York or Paris where it's just us. Sometimes I think about if we'll have kids, and who they'd look more like." You chuckled. "Hopefully it's you... Tae?"
He'd grown so still, you'd wondered if he'd fallen asleep or if you'd said too much.
"Hold on." He rolled over, fumbling in the bedside drawer for a moment before turning back to you and balancing a small velvet box on you stomach.
You looked up at him in shock.
"It's not technically an engagement ring," he said softly. "But I wanted you to know that when the time comes, when we're ready, I want to take that step with you. I can't imagine my life without you."
You eyes welled over with tears as he took your hand, taking a steadying breath before he continued.
"I want everything you said and so much more. And if you'll have me, I would love to spend the rest of our lives together."
Your voice failed you, coming out as only a whisper as you nodded, tears streaming down your face. "Yes."
With shaking hands, he slipped the ring on your finger before pulling you close.
"I love you so much."
"I love you too."
You both fell asleep wrapped up in each other and the promise of forever.

how do you come up with such interesting composition? your pieces are always so captivating 💗
thank youuuuuuuuuu <33 and the truth is. idk. i am kinda just winging it and making a lot of adjustments as i go.... im not very orderly about it and have my thoughts kinda all over the place. heres some examples under the cut w what process pics i could find
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
direction process goes >>>
first did a pencil sketch for big shapes. was just placing stuff down. i wanted to make ref sheets for an art trade but didnt want to make a traditional type bc i hate drawing ppl standing full body (bc im bad at it 👍) also i did not have specific outfits in mind and was going more for a reference of the general vibe of the characters, so i just wanted a full body pose + face close up. to avoid having to show specific details. bc i was cheating. was originally going to have multiple text bubbles around for the character facts
did like two sketches digitally. messed around a LOT with placement. the little emote heads came out of me feeling like it was empty and boring on its own and they are fun to draw so why not include them. the multiple text bubbles seemed like a bad idea now so i took them out and just did one text wall.
i actually dont like the text wall now and think breaking it up wouldve been more fun visually but that would've required effort i didnt wanna put in LOL
Tumblr media Tumblr media
^ i lost the pencil sketch for this one (i always do a pencil sketch) but it was actually just the two half body drawings at first with none of that shit at the bottom or the close ups until i was like fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk i gotta add smth around to make this look like theres stuff happening..... the idea was to draw the two main characters of the labb novel in some kinda comic format w panels around and i then. kept adding things until it seemed like i was getting somewhere. thats kind of my process for everything TT i think it helps to stay in a workshopping stage for longer if needed to get somewhere but i often get impatient LOL
im putting a stupid note abt this here bc im still annoyed at myself but in this novel, there was a bit about a crossword puzzle related to a murder case and i only thought of it afterwards that it would be kinda cool to put the sugar cubes in like a crossword puzzle formation....... why didnt i do that......
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
^ and heres some of the process for this one, but i lost a LOT of the steps for this. the beginning was totally different. the character wasnt as pathetic and scared looking at first but then i was like uhhhhh lets draw him that way :)
the first pencil draft was from a different perspective and it was gonna have a mirror composition to it kinda? but i wasn't able to make that look appealing so i deleted it. it still had the curtains tho but then i also included stuff with framed mirrors + other frames around
i decided to instead make the curtains be the focus of the whole piece to not make it so cluttered. character's pose was so different at first it was so bad i dont even wanna remember it. i took out the frames entirely bc i didnt think they added much to the piece in terms of the atmosphere. since like. the more i worked on it w the character's + the goat's expressions the more it gave a 'being hunted' feeling to it and portrait frames dont fit that vibe. which feels funny bc u look at it and thats all u can think abt but i wasnt even gunning for that when starting out. BE FLEXIBLE. TRUST THE PROCESS.

A very twisted Christmas.
Writers note: “I’m not gonna reupload my AO3 fics here”, I say, before reuploading an AO3 fic here. Anyways more Yuune yippee!! This is one of my longer fics (it’s not even 1k words…)
Possible warnings: Angst for two lines. I think that’s it…?
Tumblr media
It was Yuune's first Christmas. He didn't have high expectations for it, nor were his expectations low... They didn't have any expectations. They didn't know what's it be like, [[PLAYER]] never once has mentioned it and the rest of the main cast hasn't either.
But it was definitely a unique experience.
Just like the usual routine, the first thing [[PLAYER]] did after waking up was turn on their phone and open up Twisted Wonderland. They had gotten used to the weird occurrences that happened (which were just Yuune changing the code for fun and giving [[PLAYER]] messages), but was pleasantly surprised at the immediate change that definitely hasn't intended by Disney...
A, slightly glitchy, textbox was the first thing to pop up on screen. It simply said;
"Happy holidays from Yuune~ I wonder what presents ill get! Hm... If you get a new phone, I think this game should be the first thing you get on it!!"
Then the usual thingy happened, and [[PLAYER]] took no note of the text box. They had gotten greeted by this "Yuune" quite the few times by now. They were usually on holidays, examples include:
"Happy halloween, I'm dressing up as one of the ghosts in ramshackle~! Trick or treat~ Gimme candy! Now!!" On halloween ([[PLAYER]] put a piece of candy next to their phone later that day after trick or treating to "give" it to Yuune), and "Happy birthday, [[PLAYER]]!! I wonder if the day you installed twisted wonderland is my birthday or if we share one..." On their birthday ([[PLAYER]] made note of the question Yuune had asked, sometimes wondering that themselves...)
This greeting wasn't particularly special in any way (except for the lack of a specific holiday, but that really didn't make a big difference), so [[PLAYER]] just ignored it.
So, [[PLAYER]] just did their usual grinding (with, surprisingly, no interruption from Yuune.), and left the game a little quicker then usual, to go and celebrate Christmas!
With Yuune... Well, I have genuinely no idea how they celebrate Christmas in Twisted Wonderland. So unfortunately, you just have to assume it went like in the game (with more added mischief from Yuune!)
Presents Yuune got include:
A tablet from Idia (oh god Yuune is gonna turn into an iPad kid/j), A crocheted bat from Lilia (I believe Lilia crochets and I will stand by this), A full size gargoyle from Malleus (that was a pain to get into Ramshackle...), and more that I don't feel like adding because its not important.
Honestly, after the whole celebration was over... Most of the rest of the day was spent in ignihyde, just like most days for him... It wasnt too bad, though! The tablet was pretty nice to play with, and since it was so high tech... It could do practically anything!! It was a pretty nice day for Yuune.
Only at the end of the day when Yuune was about to (attempt to) sleep, did [[PLAYER]] return to Twisted Wonderland.
And the first thing Yuune noticed was that their room definitely had... More items! A lot more items...!!
Most notably, A new phone. With the TWST transfer data screen on it... Looks like Yuune managed to predict what one of their gifts would be.
"I wonder if the glitches will be transferred to my new phone..." [[PLAYER]] muttered to themselves, quickly pulling up the screen with the TWST transfer stuff on their old phone.
Yuune's mood made a complete switch at that comment... Will he also be transferred, or... Will he be stuck without [[PLAYER]]...?
Well, only one way to find out!
[[PLAYER]] quickly transferred the data to their new phone, reloading the game to quickly start up playing Twisted Wonderland again.
And, it seems the "glitches" also got transferred, because the first thing to pop up was a glitchy textbox.
"Woah... The screen is so much bigger! I can see you in higher quality, as well!!" Was what text the textbox had, clearly from Yuune.
~The End~
and a very twisted holidays to you~

Final Thoughts on RVB Restoration
(note that i did not bother with proper punctuation here and additional thoughts may be added later)
SPOILERS UNDER THE CUT:
wow. i have A LOT to say about this
first, lets start with the things i really liked about this finale:
red team fight scenes. simmons and grif fighting the meta was so good, especially simmons being SO BADASS. simmons stans were fed well. i always love seeing the reds and blues fighting, even if theyre not good, as opposed to freelancers fighting
caboose did a lot and i think had some solid development (as much as he could get in only an hour and 25 mins, at least) and it seems like they made him less dumb?? which is fine with me, it almost seemed like he matured. i also kinda liked seeing caboose being thrown around and beaten up cause it HURT ME SO MUCH but i love being hurt (i love caboose this isnt meant to be an insult to him). it was also just so surreal seeing caboose actually being hurt in an animation because he always managed to avoid major beatings like that before. him and tucker having a brief moment together was soul crushing and i wish we couldve had more of that
tucker being influenced by the meta has been a thing since the s13 finale and seeing it actually happen was really cool
tex being brought back was kind of a meh thing for me. i think everything tex related shouldve just been left in s10 because that season really wrapped it all up nicely. i did enjoy having her back, though, just for the sake of her as a character cuz i love her. and her and church together was so fucking cute and heartbreaking
sarge dying to save caboose was obviously fucking SADDENING but also sweet in a way cause i love caboose being the honorary red member. he loves his blue son
again, simmons being a badass was so fucking good
the grimmons scene with grif saying "come with me" was romantic as hell 😭😭😭
churchs gay little pose
chex scene with tex holding churchs hand was so gjfHDJSAFKGHSDJFSDFKAS GODDDDD THIS M/F SHIP HAS ME IN A CHOKEHOLD
now, the things i DIDNT like:
really unfortunate that the movie/season was only 1 hr 25 mins. it really limited what they could do with the plot and characters, but i understand if it wasnt possible for RT to do more due to warner bros for example
churchs whole youtube video thing was kinda funny but also dragged on for too long and was the perfect example of "show dont tell" NOT being implemented
a lot of stuff felt ooc, like how the reds didnt wanna help caboose at all. the beginning with epsilon showing up was understandable with how they didnt want to get involved, but later on the ship they just leave caboose to be choked out by the meta? THAT part didnt feel like the reds at all. grif also for some reason was so fucking mad and yelling a lot? idk where all that came from? it was so random like grif chill dude 😭
wash just being stuck in a mental hospital for something we dont even find out about until the end, which in a story sense isnt inherently bad obviously and can really add to the narrative, but in this case it just felt so confusing and like it didnt make sense. why would carolina and the reds and blues just let that happen to wash? not to say that getting help with mental health is bad or anything, just what i mean is they dont seem to care that hes gone or anything and dont visit him and hes treated like hes crazy the whole time hes in the hospital
479er being alive was really awesome, but it came out of nowhere (i understand that this is also probably due to the runtime restraint)
WHERE THE HELL WERE DONUT AND LOPEZ THE WHOLE TIME???? lopez showed up once and donut was in a 5 second thought bubble from simmons? the FINAL season of rvb and they dont even have the full crew of characters fighting together one last time? nobody talked about them at all? come on guys
the beginning with the convention was just really unnecessary and boring
why does nobody seem to care that TUCKER IS MISSING WITH MAINES ARMOR?? it feels like everyone just got brainwashed to forget about all the years they spent being friends
what was the deal with the covid jokes 💀
sarge wouldve never let himself die to a blue
doc just dies offscreen and its only vaguely mentioned at the very end and just happened out of nowhere, almost as an excuse for wash to not be present during everything with the meta?
where the hell has carolina been? she was never mentioned once until she showed up at the end
why why WHY did GRIF LEAVE??? i know season 15 was retconned, but the fact that he CARES ABOUT HIS FRIENDS and doesnt actually want to leave them unlike what he says shouldnt have just been forgotten about. AND SIMMONS JUST DOESNT WANNA GO TO EARTH TO VISIT? HELLO THIS IS NOT THE SAME GRIF AND SIMMONS WE'VE BEEN WITH ALL THESE YEARS. wheres that tweet saying "found family separating after the journey is bs" cause thats how i feel about that. 21 years spent building up these amazing relationships between these amazing characters just for them to seemingly not give a shit about each other?? is simmons just alone in blood gulch with tucker and caboose now?? 💀💀💀
i understand because he was the meta, tucker didnt have control, but it was still unfortunate to barely have any tucker this season
i understand that the meta was a threat to everybodys lives, but it feels like everyone was just ok with killing tucker to be able to kill the meta. it wouldve been so much better and angstier if they were having difficulties with it because thats their friend
why did one have to show up. i dont really have anything personal against her as a character or anything but i wouldve really preferred any and all things related to zero to just be wiped off the face of the planet
the music was just terrible. really unfortunate they wouldnt have trocadero return :( it felt so unnerving having this weird stock music playing whenever people were just standing and talking. throughout all of rvb, 99% of the standing talking scenes never had any music so this was so bizarre
some animated scenes looked really off, idk if it was just me
one personal gripe i have that doesnt actually really matter that much to the overall season, but it really bothered me, is that that IS NOT HOW THE BUBBLE SHIELD WORKS!!! i think technically we've never actually seen the bubble shield be entered or exited on screen so i guess you could argue that it works differently from how they work in halo? idk still bothered me
this season in general just felt like an AU?? even 15 through 17 felt more real as seasons of rvb than this did, and i HATED season 16, so thats saying something
and of course, grimmons. big congrats to RT for the longest queerbaited couple in i think tv show history. this one really pisses me off the most because just. how. theres a difference between a queer ship existing because people like it, and a queer ship existing because there was actual subtext and clues and their relationship is written so perfectly and its been around for so long that so many queer people came to really love and identify with it in spite of how shitty they were treated. idc, grimmons is canon in all of our hearts, fuck that
a great point from mod janae: the whole point of rvb, which aiden price even talks about, is that they come together as friends/family and even though they individually suck, together they can do anything, and a better ending wouldve been not to bring back tex carolina or even wash but to have gotten all the reds and blues back together to stop the meta. it was never about being the strongest but about working together
in general, i did not like the season. it had a few things i liked, but obviously the cons outweigh the pros here and so overall, i hated it. i mightve hated it even more than season 16 which is insane because ill fight tooth and nail for why season 16 is such a catastrophe. really disappointing that this is how rvb ends. i wouldve much preferred a cheesy "friendship defeats the bad guy and saves the day" ending because that IS what rvb is to a degree. anyways i understand how GOT fans feel now

ok it’s time for dana to hoot and holler about zexal
finished ygo zexal for the first time last week and i absolutely adored it and am STILL thinking so much about it (as i will be probably for. a While now if my relationships with the other ygo spinoffs ive seen are any indication).....time again for me to do my little personal rambly yugioh series retrospective post as the brainworms truly start to set in. kattobingu feel the flow high five the sky build the overlay network let’s goooo!!!
Tumblr media
more under the cut. a lot more lol. spoilers for a decade old anime, naturally
GOD. YEAH. THIS ONE MIGHT BE MY FAVORITE YUGIOH SERIES IVE SEEN YET. HOLY SHIT. 2021 Dana was really out here thinking Zexal looked kind of annoying (based on mild DL characters/plot osmosis) and not terribly interesting and I want to go back in time and shake her shoulders and say NO. NO YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND. ZEXAL FUCKING ROCKS. every yugioh has some degree of Danabait to it (probably because. watching Duel Monsters as a child was the catalyst to what Danabait even is lol) but JESUS MARY AND JOSEPH Zexal is like being hit by one nuclear bomb of shit genetically engineered in a lab to make me insane after another.
THE ART STYLE. OF ZEXAL, FOR ONE. makes me absolutely rabid animal bonkers--I LOVE seeing the way the ygo art style has been honed and developed and evolved over time. YGO influenced my art style more than I can articulate, and then zexal comes in swinging with the ygo art style at its Most Zany. The EXPRESSIONS in this show!!!!!!!!! Fucking rule!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A MASSIVE CHUNK OF THE CAST DOESNT HAVE MOUTHS HALF THE TIME AND YET STILL ARE SOME OF THE MOST EXPRESSIVE YGO GUYS EVER!!!! Constantly making expressions I LOVE to draw!!!! and oh my god the COLOR DIRECTION OF YUGIOH ZEXAL?!?!? genuinely absolutely phenomenal and one of my all time favorites i’ve seen in any cartoon, western or anime. you mean to tell me we got a lighting and color budget now??? we get yugioh scenes looking like this??!??
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
THE BEST. THE BEST. THE BEST. OBSESSED WITH IT. ABSORBING ZEXAL’S COLOR AND EXPRESSION PROWESS. STEALING ITS POWER.
ANYWAY as usual with my ygo watching i was primarily watching the dub (absolutely thrilled to have a Completed Yugioh Dub to watch for the first time since DM, MAN.) but I did end up watching...over half of Zexal II’s sub; stuff just gets so absolutely insane with the Barian Emperors that I desperately wanted every possible inch of their lore so I ended up watching both (sometimes back and forth at the same type like an unhinged wild animal) for the full picture. I like Zexal’s dub a lot!! its comedic timing is ON POINT, EXTREMELY FUNNY DUB. and really like..all of the main dub VAs are so, SO good (as they usually are.) There are a lot of bizarre things they cut though, a lot of childhood flashbacks and little character moments and the like. It’s a shame! I can only imagine a lot of them were cut to leave more room for ad time which. Sucks a bit 🥴A lot of duels do whip a lot harder in the sub too, especially in the back half..... still though, enjoyed my time with the dub. there’s a remarkable amount of stuff i am SHOCKED they actually did keep in?!??! The car crash that killed Shark’s parents is just straight up presented as is with like one or two small cuts. A LITTLE GIRL’S DEAD BODY IS SHOWN?? ON SCREEN??? ZEXAL DUB!! KIDS LOVE IT SO!!! MY GOD!!!
ok enough on that. some breakdowns/specific points like I usually do with these roundups:
Stuff I Didn’t Like: always get this one outta the way first. There really wasnt a whole lot I straight up disliked with this one!! It’s extremely solid all around. It does, of course, have some...Choices, being made, like. Girag’s lips. and. Girag’s backstory. Love the guy but oh my god why did they do that to him 😭Yugioh Racially Questionable moments ride again!!! At this point it’s just par for the course, definitely not the first time a ygo has. Done stuff like that. Ah well. Worth mentioning though.
What’s really a shame is that Zexal has some of the COOLEST, MOST FUN GIRL CHARACTERS, and time and time again they just dont do anything with them!!!!!!!!!!!! IT’S SO FRUSTRATING. i LOVE rio but the poor girl is fridged for literally 2/3s of the series!! She’s in the hospital like five times!!!! Rio and Anna and Tori and Dextra and Kari are all like, some of my favorite ygo gals YET but they have maybe 5 duels between them. Konami let your girls DUEL CHALLENGE. PLEASE.
hm what else. I guess also the final showdown with the series “Big Bad” was. uh. kind of let down lmao. But to be fair I was positively spoiled last series with the Z-one duel lol. Can’t win ‘em all. As cool as the concept of “the protag and rival team up to duel the Big Bad” is, and as cool as Don Thousands Entire toxic manipulative dynamic with the Barian Emperors is for like the Entire Rest of Zexal II is, they just....don’t. Do much with him for that last Donny T duel?? Would have loved more backstory elaboration or just like. Anything. It was over so soon and I was like “...that was it??” HDFHGSDFG thankfully the last two duels of zexal whip like hell so we bounce back!!
i also kind of wish don thousand kept his sick as hell demon armor form but c’est la vie i suppose. sad! well there’s other guys.
Favorite Season: I actually have no idea how Zexal is split up into seasons, so I guess Fav Arc would be a better term? Anyway I loved the World Duel Carnival Arc, I’m one of like 5 people who actually enjoy tournament arcs but i think theyre FUN and this one is a blast. There’s Arclight Family Agonies coming from every direction and there’s the INSANE DUEL ROLLER COASTER and Vetrix is bouncing around being a little freak, it’s GREAT
anyway and then Zexal II came in and grabbed me by the head and threw me into the drywall
LIKE. MY GOD. ZEXAL HAS THE FUCKING EMOTIONAL PACING OF MORAL OREL. YOU HIT Z2 AND SHIT STARTS GETTING REAL AND GOING HARD AS HELL AND IM OUT HERE GETTING MY BRAIN SCRAMBLED. I love like. All of the arcs of zexal II it’s hard to pick a favorite but I DO really like just that first third or so where the Barians are just starting to show up and the horrors haven’t quite begun and everything’s so silly and Ray Shadows is Very There. gives me gx season 1 vibes a little bit. it’s a delight.
Favorite Characters: oh right I should. talk about that. pained smile.
i joke about this a lot but usually every ygo series has like. A Character That’s My Actual Favorite, and A Character That Makes Me Absolutely Insane (syrus vs. zane, leo vs. aporia, etc.) but, uh. this time I GUESS THAT’S JUST. THE SAME CHARACTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tumblr media
SORRY. TO BE BASIC. BUT WHY DID THEY DO THAT TO ME. WHY DID THEY PUT A CHARACTER IN ZEXAL WHO ALREADY LOOKS LIKE MY ART STYLE. ALREADY LOOKS LIKE I DREW HIM. AND THEN MAKE HIM FUCKED UP AND SILLY AND A SAD LITTLE JACKASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ABSOLUTELY NEFARIOUS!!!!!!!!! 2021 dana had no CLUE they were hiding this fucker in the back of one of the ygo spinoffs. never could have predicted it. vector’s genuinely one of the best ygo characters of all time to me. what if a yugioh character had the most absolutely bonkers expressions youve ever seen and he was constantly doing little bits and acting like a little funnyman and then the devil fucking Kills Him. he’s perfect. the madness has only just begun to infect me i fear.
ANYWAY other than The Carrot in Question, I fucking love like...all of Zexal’s cast; I think this is the first time for any ygo where a series just didnt really have any characters I straight up Did Not Like. it’s such a solid, colorful cast that just checks so many boxes for my fav kinds of characters. I didn’t think I was gonna like Yuma but I ended up LOVING HIM!!!! I LOVE SEEING A YGO PROTAG THATS LIKE..ACTUALLY BAD AT THE GAME, THAT GROWS BETTER AND STRONGER OVER TIME BUT STAYS SO SILLY. I love what Zexal does to “traditional” yugioh character archetypes--Shark and Kite are both such cool rival characters and the shit they do with Shark especially?!?! NEVER COULD HAVE IMAGINED THEM DOING THAT. WITH A YUGIOH RIVAL. KAIBA COULD NEVER.
Narrowing down a top five fav Zexal guys is so hard, they really came in swinging with Catostrophic Families AND insane alien guys, but after pondering I think I’d have to say rn it’s Vector, Shark, Nistro (my fuckin  MAN!!!!!!!), Trey, and Alito. Immediate runnerup also being Tori. I fucking love Tori, new favorite main ygo girl. She bore witness to All That Shit and never folded. SHe’s Yuma’s FRIEND his CONFIDANT his EMOTIONAL SUPPORT!!!!! Absolute boss. Yuma would be dead in a ditch somewhere by episode 20 without her around.
Favorite Duel: BEEN GOING BACK AND FORTH ON THIS A LOT but I think my favorite duel was and still is the Trey vs. Yuma duel in zexal I, it’s just fantastic. The COLORS AND LIGHTING!!!!! The stakes!!! The SICK DUEL ARMOR!! Trey literally threatens a world-ending murder-suicide because he wants his family to be proud of him and well i’ll just explode into bits all up and down the road about it. Goes hard as hell. Trey and Yuma’s dynamic is one of my favs in Zexal but that’s it’s own post.
I also love all of Alito’s duels (especially the tag duel with Nistro, which is one of the most atrociously danabait duels ever (slash pos) and his last duel against yuma, which ALSO has some of the fucking coolest shots and lighting of any yugioh duel to me) and the last duel between Shark and Yuma. Shit rocks.
Zexal is also pretty unique to me in that it’s the first time i can really concretely say ive had favorite EPISODES as opposed to just favorite duels. There are so many episodes left and right that just make my fucking head explode. The BASEBALL DUEL FRIENDSHIP GAMES EPISODE. The EPISODE WHERE YUMA AND SHARK ARE IN THE HOSPITAL. The “VECTOR GETS STRAPPED INTO THE ALIEN GOD THRONE AND MR. HEARTLAND IS BEING INSANE AND THE ARCLIGHTS ARE IN A SUBMARINE AND ERAZOR IS GOING TO FUCKING KILL YUMA’S FRIENDS” episode. THE. UM. THE EPISODE WHERE THIS HAPPENS
Tumblr media
^BROKE MY WHOLE DAMN BRAIN IN HALF. I AM STILL RECOVERING FROM THE DAMAGE zexal II comes in swinging with episodes that just knock your tits clean off and you LOVE to see it!!!!
Miscellaneous Other Zexal Gushing: IT’S JUST FUCKING GOOD!!!! THERE’S SO MUCH TO LOVE!!!!! I love the cast, I love Yuma and Astral’s dynamic and just how much love is there. I LOVE yuma’s friend group, they are SUCH perfect dweeby little middle schooler weird kids. I love the ways Zexal parallels Duel Monsters (and imo takes a lot of elements from DM and does them even better), I love Yuma’s grandma and Kari, ABSOLUTE REAL ONES!!! I fucking love Orbital 7. I love the Number cards and how theyre just completely thematically not related to each other at ALL (sometimes it’s a bug! sometimes it’s a guy! sometimes it’s an entire floating civilization!!!) I love the ABSOLUTELY BONKERS RELIGIOUS MOTIFS AND SYMBOLISM FLYING AROUND IN ANY AND ALL DIRECTIONS. THEY DID THAT FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!!!! ASTRAL CHRIST ALLEGORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And I just...adore how fundamentally Zexal is about kindness and hope and love, and also about how it’s so important to not lose yourself or your sense of fun as you grow up!! That theme absolutely EVISCERATED ME when gx came out swinging with it in its last season, and it’s GETTIN ME AGAIN HERE!!! IT’S ABOUT HAVING FUN!! IT’S ABOUT THE BONDS WE MAKE WITH OTHERS!!! IT’S ABOUT HOW CEASELESS KINDNESS CAN BE AN UNSTOPPABLE FORCE THAT MAKES EVEN THE IMMOVEABLE MOVEABLE. yuma has SO much joy and love and forgiveness in his body and it makes me WAIL.
Duel Monsters really ends on this note of “goodbye” with Atem leaving, and it works well for that story’s themes of grief. Meanwhile I think it’s very special that while Zexal also ends on a goodbye with Astral leaving, it feels so much more like a “see you later.”  That hanging note of “we’ll meet again.” It’s so sweet. The themes of past and future at play really just make you root for these kids and hope they grow up into the best versions of themselves.
Also it’s so fucking funny that like All of the Cast That Died and Went to Hell Came Back Except Mr. Heartland Who Definitely Died For Real. gay WRONGS.
God. what else. I’m sure I’ll think of 8352389 more things I love about Zexal immediately after I post this. It’s just that good. So thrilled I gave it a go. I love you Xyz Monsters I love you Dyson Sphere I love you Vector’s dub and sub voices I love you Duel Monster Based Off of the Titantic I love you Dr. Faker’s absolutely insane character design I love you Barian World I love you Arclight family I love you Zexal II Dub Opening Song That’s Sung By Bruno 5D’s VA I love you YUMA AND FRIENDS!!!!!!!!!!! ZEXAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tumblr media
cant wait to port all these kids to the college AU. it’s already happening. I love them so much

💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦
(Patricia POV)
It was your typical Wednesday evening, I had just fishened my shawer and was now in my bedroom, only in a teeshirt dress.
I open the drawer to find my underware under a pile of my husbends sooks, Strange.
  i grabe my undeware only to bush when i put them on, feeling a warm creamy Texture lining the inside, my eyes winded, it was slim monster cum, i moan, the warmth and creamy texture making me shiver with pleasure as i sunk to the floor, humping the creamy underware as the slim slithered up into me, makeing me moan and hump, as it moved to plashure me, i feailt lke my mind was blanking as i moved, i didnt even hear the front door open, revileing my blue slime monster husband Wilton.
“I see you fond my surprise~!” his deep voce growled.
I stared at him dumbly, still huping the floor.
“I had a hard day at work sweet pea, why dont you be a good little housewife and come be a good stress toy for daddy, let me fill you with slim!” he growled!
I shivered as  I slowly got up from the floor and walked over to him, he was sat at his big Recliner chair,i carefully Straddled his lap, faceing his older face,he smirked as he shoved his slim in my mouth, a slimly tentcal then shoved its way into my Vaginal opening, ruffly moveing in and out, his Cruel laughter did nothing to help me, i didnt like this Version of him, the cruel 9 to 5 man that noone knew was a cruel slim monster, he wasnt allways like this thoe.
I could feel his slim filling me up, I felt the slim slowly start to move up my spine,my eyes winded and Wilton grinned wickedly,the slim made its way up to my brain, I feailt my brain being wiped clean,i wipered out but his glare was Enough to shut me up.
“Now go make diner,the boys will be home from college!” he growled.
He bumped his knee up causing me to stubble off his lap, i thankfully caught myslefe and counted to walk to the kitchen, my brain feailt blank as i looked arond the kitchen.
“WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR MAKE SOMETHING!” a sudden golt hit my brain as I heard my hubends voce in my brain, his slim sloshed arond my mind.
I Quickly stumbled around the kitchen grabbing random ingredients to make Fruity pasta.
Soon I heard the boys open the front door, calling for my husbend and I.
I fainly heard my husbend Direct the boys to my location, I turend to face the kitchens entrice,smileing weekly at the boys.
Their faces softed as They looked at each other, but then smiled brightly at me as all 3 Exchanged cheek kisses and hugs with me.
"Mom, we are so happy to see you! It smells good in here, what did you make?" one of the boys asked.
I smiled softly, feeling my heart skip a beat, i had missed them so much.
“Oh Aqua, Trident, and shell i’ve missed you all, i’m making something new Fruity pasta!”i happylee spoke.
The boys smiled brightly and helped set the table, Wilton following shortly after to take his seat at the head of the table,  the table was soon filled with the boys and Wilton talking and laughing, i just smiled and ate. After we finished eating, Wilton told the boys to go to their rooms, They waved goodnight and left me with there monster father, Wilton then grabbed me into his arms and career me to our bedroom, my heart was beating a Mile a minute, and next thing i knew Wilton pushed me against a wall , his slimy tentacles wrapping around my body,sqeezing my chest and thighs, his Fattest tentacle sliver into my Vaginal opening, cricaling its lips, coating it into a blue slim that made me moan and shiver, I felt his slimy cum start to fill me up. He leaned in and kissed me, his slimy saliva mixing with mine,  I moaned, feeling my brain start to become even hazyer then it allredy was, and I felt my body relax.
"Now that's better isn't it sweetheart, all hazy!?" Wilton growled, his deep voice sending shivers down my spine.
 Wilton was a brain eating slim monster who enjoyed making me his dumb little wife, by eating away any thoghts that ran threw my mind.
I slowly blicked up at him, smiling a tired smile as he chuckled, looking down at my much smaller form.
I was grateful that Wiltons’s Dumbification of me was not Permanent and brain power would return to me in the moring.
“Mmm, I can't wait to suck your brain dry tomarrow my love, intell then get some rest~!” he chuckled softly in my ear.
My eyes slowly fluttered closed
(The next moring Patricia POV)
My eyes slowly fluttered open, I feailt a little groggy, but my brain was feeling sharper than it had in days. I looked up at Wilton, who was standing over me, a smile panted on his lips, he was in his humanform, wareing his dark suite with a deep blue tie.
"Moring beautiful~!" he greened, his voce deep, I could feel his tentacles softly crassing my body.
"Dont worry,I wont be feeding on your brain today, fair to groggy~!" he chuckled deeply, I feailt my body relax at his news.
I smiled softly up at him, he leand in and placed a soft kiss to my forehead.
"Well i'm off to work, could you bering me my luch today sweet pea?" He smiled.
I nooded my head in ageement, he smiled and rushed out.
The hose was qwite, I slowly made my way off the bed and over to the kichen, I grabed a bowl of cerll and aet qwitely, once finshed I got dressed in a cute short blue dress, I looked like a cute hose wife.
I than went to the kitchen and prepared a small lunch for Wilton,I packed a sandwich, some fruit, and a thermos of coffee.
  I grabbed the bag and made my way out the door.
I arrived at Wilton's workplace and made my way to his office, only to freeze at his door, Wilton's boss was spakeing to him, and jugeing by his head being down, i'de say the man was yelling at him, I sheepisly knocked on the door.
Wilton smiled softly at me, but his eyes werent, they looked dead inside.
"Thank you sweet pea.." he spoke, his words suddenly pausing.
I saw something flicker in his eyes, something sinster shined in them.
"I will be late comeing home tonight, i'll pick something out to eat for dinner, so go out and treat yourslfe~!" he smirked, takeing the luch from my hands, he kissed my lips qwikly, before closeing his door with his boss still yelling at him, an eerie smirk still on my husbends face.
I shivered, and qwicly turend and left the big office building, my mind rain as fast as my legs were walking me home, once i made it to my homes door, I qwicly ran in and  looked it, Wilton had a key so everything was fine, I tried to take some deep breaths as i moved to the kitchen to make Tea.
I feailt a wave of Calm wash over me as i saw a note from my boys on the Fridge.
“Dear mom, Thanks for the wonderful meal last night, Tony and the guys are threwing a study party at his hose, we got the Invitation texted to us last night as we were geting ready for bed, we caught dad as he was eating brefiste, not wanting to wake you we asked him and he said we could go.”
Lost of love: Aqua, Trident, and shell.
I have never feailt so Relieved hearing that my boys were out at a frat party, I didnt want them to see there mother In a state of panic, or see there father with a crazy look in his eyes.
I quickly prepared a pot of tea and settled on the couch,I slowly sipped my tea ,feeling the warmth and comfort of the drink as i opened my laptop and begang my own work, I was a graphic designer, And on occasion I would do desig work for my husbands company.
My eyes windedn as i saw an email from my husbands boss, even thoe i’ve goten emails from him befor this one feailt off, like it wasnt him writing it.
“Dear Miss Patricia
I have just finished Discussing with your Agency in full-time Contracting you to be oure companies Personal full time graphic designer, You and I will be working very close with one another, I cant wait to Sync my teeth into your Juicy ideas!
Sebastian Beck”
Mr Becks emails always feilt so formal yet inviting, he always stared them with a hello and firendy Yet professional banter about his day, weekend, or Recent trip he took, but something about this one feailt off, I took a deep breath and wrote a reply tanking him for thejob, mabey Mr Beck was just stressed, after all Wilton often told me Mr Beck vanted to him alot, mabey thats what he was doing when i dropped Wilton’s luch off to him and why the emails wired, I smiled to myslefe, feeling less Paranoid.
(Hours later still Patricia POV)
After the Internal analysis of my boss's email I decide to order chinese food for dinner, that was A couple of hours ago, now here i am fully Tummy laying in bed watching vides, unable to keep my eyes open.
I heard the door open and knew it was Wilton, He had finally come home, I heard him tip toe to the bedroom, he slowly opened the door, I Feailt him Crawling into bed, his body hovering over mine, i feailt like Pray to a predator.
“Mmm sweet pea~!” his deep voce whispered lustfully, I feailt his lage hands rubbing my fully Tummy, making me moan.
"Mmmm H..H..How was your day Dear?" I asked, moaning softly.
he chuclked deeply, his tentailes wraped arond my wrists and ankles, makeing my legs open wide for him.
"It was wonderfull, sooo many Juicy brains hard at work~!" he wispred.
I gasped, He laughed darkly, his eyes shining with a sinister glint. 
"Dont worry, i'm not here to Feed on you sweetheart, I allready got my fill tody...by the way Mr Beck sends his regareds~!" he smirked.
"But can a dead man really send his regareds?" he smiled, my eyes windedn in horror, my heart racing.
"Y..Y..you ate him." I wispered, my body shacking, i could feel my eyes fill with tears.
"Oh please Sweet pea he was going to expose me for what I truly am, all becase he was strassed, I can run the company batter then he can, and bease i Ate not only his brain but Absorbed his body, I can shape shift into him, so starting tomarrow, you'll be my cute little work wife~!" he said in a low, smooth voice. 
(The next moring still Patricia POV)
I sat in a large meeting room with Mr Beck, my hair up in a bun and Heavily sprayed down with Hairspray, I Wore a pencil skirt as the man Requested and a White button up that was covered by a light yellow cardigan.
I feailt Mr Becks hand rest on my thigh from under the table as one of the Higher ups of the company we're leading a presentation.
I bite my lip as i looked down at my notebook, trying to write notes as he traed shaps with his fighters on my thigh.
I sheepishly looked over at Mr Beck, he was a tall man, he Wore a matching yellow suit to my cardigan, his hair was sliver and Wavy and came down an inch above his shoulders.
My husbend was the same age as him.
“Miss Patricia, is there something more Fascinating about Mr Beck that is making you unable to pay attention to my presentation?!” Suddenly one of the older chairman spoke.
My cheeks whent bight red, As I stuttered out an apology.
“Gentalmen please, This is Patricias first day, cut the poor girl some slack.” Mr Beck smiled Calmly.
now it was the older chairmans turn to get flastered, as he scrambled to continue his presentation.
I smiled shylee at Mr Beck going bak to my notebook.
 I sundle felt Mr Becks hand begain to rub my thigh, his eyes twinking with Amusemnt."You look absolutely adorible when you zoone out, all brainless, just how i like~!" he prrred in my ear.
I blushed bright red as i tried to  toak notes, my hart skiping a beat as i feailt Mr Beck move his other hand on my other thigh, he dranged both his hands to my inner Thighs close to my Vaginal lips.
I tried to keep my composure as i feailt my husbands tentacles sundle pull open my Vaginal lips, pushing the fat tentacil in, now i knew why he wanted me to ware the Pencil skirt, I bite my lip as my cheeks as they feailt hot, my eyes begain to water, but i heaild my tears in.
“And that Concludes my Presentation!” the older man spoke.
I quickly stood up, my cheeks still red as i tryed to hide my emotions, smileing and shakeing the older mens hands.
"Well Gentlemen, Thank you for your time." Mr Beck said as he walked over to the door, holding open the door, The older men nodded as they left the room, once the older men were gone and it was Mr Beck and I, I shot the man a glare.
Mr Beck smirked and turend to me, leaning in to kiss me but I shoved his chest.
“Dont touch me, Youve Embarrassed me and made me look like a fool!” I Growled, trying to hold my tears back.
He smirked, as he Crossed his arms and chuckled Amusement written all over his face.
I swallowed hard, my heart racing, 
"Do..do you really think this is appropriate?" I weekly asked.
He paused for a moment before he responded, 
"No, but it's a lot of fun." He winked and I felt my tears falling Like Niagara Falls, I quickly ran out of the meeting room.
(Hours later still Patricia POV)
I sat on the couch curled up in a big blanket with leftover chinese food in hand and A large tissue box to my side, I was watching a romance move, my husbend wasnt home yet.
 Suddenly, I heard the door open and I quickly wiped away my tears as I heard Mr Beck's voice.
He walked in the living room and sat next to me,his eyes were still twinking with Amusement as he looked me up and down, his eyes resting on my Cleavage.
He grabbed the chinese food out of my hands and began to eat, I tryed to snatched it back but his arms were too long, i glared at him  and crossed my arms.
"What do you think you're doing?!" I exclaimed.
He smiled and chuckled. "I was hungry, and you didnt seem to be doing anything with it." He said, taking a bite of my food.
I sighed and rolled my eyes, I was still mad at him for earlier.
He gently grabbed my hand, his icey lips kissed my nuckles.
"Sweet pea~" he cooed softly, my cheeks puffed out as I blushed, still not meeting his eyes.
He chuckled softly, I turened to him glareing.
"This isnt funny, You embarrassed me in front of all those people, you cant just come home and expact me to play along like nothing happend, I'm not a doll!" I said, my voice cracking as tears fell.
“Your right, your not a doll, I’m sorry I embarrassed, it wasnt very Professional or ethical of me to do, is there anything I can do so you an forgive me?” he asked softly.
“Be the man I married, The man who heald me tight when i was sacred, the man who heaild my hair back when i was pregent, the man who looked at me as if i were the one who hung the stars in the sky, the man Who promised to protect me, whaer is he!” I cryed.
He pulled me into a strong hug.
“That man is right here Sweet pea, hes always been right here!” he spoke, holding me tightly.
I nuzled into his chest, his cologne Smelt expensive i softly moaned into his chest, softly griping into his Suit jacket.
His large hands rubbed my back, softly planting a kiss on the top of my head.
“You know theres fair less BDSM in this move, than I remaber.” he jocked.
I giggled as I wiped my tears.
He smiled, his body shifted and he looked like my husbend angin, not the dead man walking of Mr Beck but Wilton.
"well Now, since you're already in your pajamas and I clearly dont know my romce moves, how about we watch the rest of the movie together I'm sure you'll fill me in on everything i need to know" he suggested with a smirk.
I giggled as I sat in his lap, his Protective large arms warped arond me, I began to fill him in as Characters entered the scene, he Just watched me contently listening to ever word i said.
Occasionally playing with a strand of my hair wrapping it around his finger.
“Your more Captivating then the movie Sweet pea~!” he smiled, leaning in and placing a sweet kiss to my lips, I kissed back, my kiss full of love.
“Hehe oh Wilton, I forgive you~!” I giggled, my cheeks red and my voce full of love.
His face softened as He leand back, Deepening the kiss with passion.
His slimly tentails began to wingle up my body, I let out a Squeal as they crassed my face, Wilton chuckled as he pulled back, leting his fattest tentacl Slither up to my moth, plunging it inside, sqwriteing sweet purple goo down my throat.
I muttered out a moan as his tentickle kept filling my belly with sweet mind Numbing goo, he rubed my belly with his large hands.
"Mmm what a cute little full belly, full of jelly~!" Wilton chuckled deeply.
more tenticls filled my muoth.
I let out a deep moan of pleasure as the tenticls filled my mouth with more of the sweet goo, my belly expanding with each passing moment. My eyes rolled back in my head as I felt Wilton's tentacles fill me up with more of the goo.
"You know Sweet Pea, back in the wild my purple goo was used to Lure my prey, its aphrodisiacs Qualities were used to seduce and Sedate them long enough for me to Sneak up and eat them~!" he chuckled darkly yet playful.
I stared at him dumbly as purple goo Slowly trickled down my lips, my mind blank as i Suckled on his fat tentacles Mindlessly.
"Ahhh, You like that don't you Sweet Pea? it's like you were made for this, my sweet little jelly belly, all cute and dumb." Wilton cooing at me like a mother dose to a baby. 
I nodded A deep blush over my cheeks, my eyes hazy unable to form any words. 
Wilton chuckled in delight, and I could feel his tentacles wrapping around me like a Cocoon, Enveloping me tight as he filled me with more of his sweet goo.
I felt my eyes rolling back in my head as my brain feelt hazy and numb as Wilton's tentacle filled me with more of the sweet goo.
"Oh Sweet Pea, you're so delicious!" Wilton cooed ,his tentacles never ceasing.
I let out a broken moan as I felt my body succumb to the pleasure, my eyes fluttering closed and soon I blacked out.
(The next moring Still Patricia POV)
My eyes slowly creeked open, I was laying on Wilton's cest, his tentacles crassing my body slowly, my mind still in a deep haze.
my belly round and bulging full with his sweet goo.
"Good moring Sweet Pea, you looked so beautiful sleeping, I didnt dare wake you." he said softly, stroking my hair.
Wilton had one of Mr Becks work suites on, it made me shiver.
“Rest My Sweet Pea,You dont have to come in today, I will fill you in if need be~!” he spoke softly, crassing my cheek.
I Sleepily smiled up at him, nooding in agreement, my eyes geting havey angin and soon i was out.
(Wilton POV)
I smiled down at my little wife, Curling a piece of her hair arond my figer, my tentacles crassing her sleeping form, I knew I had to leave for work, but her sleepy form was so tempting as she softly begain to hump my tentacles, sure i might have had a hand in her body doing this, but it was soo cute Regardless of the situation , I chuckled softly as i watched her, slowly pulling my tentacils back into my body, I sighed as i carefully removed my sweet wife from my chest,placeing her softly back on oure bed, I had to hold back a crazed Smirk as she wipered softly, humping the air, her bulging belly Gurgling makeing me lick my lips in Ravenous hunger for her, she was filled with the same goo I used for Centuries to seduce and Sedate my prey, I have feed from her Countless times but never enofen to Quench my hunger, after all, to Satisfy my huger would leave her mindless Permanently, I counldnt do that to her, I quickly grabbed my suit Jacket and shape shifted as I rushed out the door.
once at work I coulnt hlep but smile to myself, my sweet wife's form still on my mind.
"Good moring Mr Beck." a young inpolye called happylee.
I put on a fake smile to greet the boy as i made my way to my office.
Once i got sat at my desk, I was soon greeted by the charemen.
"Good moring moring Mr Beck, I see your little graphic designer isnt with you." one of the older man rased an eyebrow.
"She called in sick if you really must know!" I spoke coldely.
 "Oh I apologize, I didnt mean to pry. Is there anything I can do to help?" he asked in a concerned tone.
I feailt my eyebrow twitch, A twinge of Jealousy blooming in my chest, Like a dark carnation.
“Its fine thank you mr Dean.” I spoke, Irritation littering my tone.
The other charemen, a younger man named O'Reilly cleard his throte.
"we wont keep you much longer, We just wanted to pass threw, and hand in a few reports,mr Dean wasnt there somethhing inpored you wanted to say to Mr Beck!?" the young man added.
the older mans his windede with a shine.
"Oh right, Mr Beck, I Wanted to send a formal apology to your cute little graphic designer, I looked into her file and had no idea she had a Medical reason for why she wasnt paying attention, it was Insensitive of me to tease her." the older man spoke.
I nodded my head a fake smile plastered on my face in acceptance of the apology. 
"Thank you for understanding, I'm sure she'd appreciate your apology when she returns to work, I'll be sure to pass it along." I replied in a more composed tone.
The other two men nodded in agreement before taking their leave. 
once they had gone, I sat back in my chair and took a deep breath, my jaw clashed, Screw keeping her brain Intact, I want my wife all to myself, she wont be working here anymore, I never liked the idea of her working in the fist place, she'll be my cute little hosewife, a sweet little mindless pleasure drone, for only me.
I chuckled darkly to myslefe as i returned to my labtop, I have things to prepapere, cant have anyone growing Suspicious and sticking their nose where it doesn't belong.
(Hours later Patricia POV)
My eyes swing open, as i was shock awake by my husbend, my mind feailt foggy and my body fair too Satisfied to move as i looked at him.
"Good morning, Sweet pea~!" he said with a sinister smile, his lage hands griping my shoulders.
“I”m sure your ready to be rid of my purple goo, its no fun being in bed all day is it?” he cooed, crassing my check.
I mindlessly nuzzled into his toch, looking up at him with big eyes, nooding my head in Agreement.
He chuckled darkly as he carefully picked me up in his strong arms,I hide my face in his strong chest, his Cologne smelt expensive.
I Sighed happily as i nuzzled into his strong chest as he carred me to our bathroom, he placed me down into the Empty bathtub, a smirk Decorating his face as he looked down at me, I feailt Confusion in my deep haze as i looked at him.
“I wont be using water to clean you sweet pea~!” he wicked, I feailt my cheeks blush as he Climbed in behind me, shifting into pure blue slime, I Jolted in Surprise when i feailt his lips suck on my vaginal opening, He chuckled deeply, caseing my vaginal opening to vibrate.
I moaned softly as he Ravaged me, sucking every drop intell my mind feailt clear once more, he soon shifted back and smiled at me, I blushed and smiled back at him.
“Wellcome back my love~!” he whispered sweety, his strong arms Enveloped me in a strong embrace and soon i was carred bak to oure room.
He ladyed me back down on our bed, I rased an eyebrow.
“W..Wilton, dear, i’ve been in bed all day,You yourself understand how sick of it i am.” I spoke siteing up, only to be pushed back down.
“I know what i said sweet pea, i’ve said alot of things these last few days that i dont mean~!” his voce was dripping with senster eage as he towered over me.
My eyes windedend as i stared up at him.
"W..Wilton, dear, your sareing me, what do you mean?" I asked, my heart starting to race as did my mind.
He sundlely let out a deep Bone-chilling cackle,I feait my body freez as i looked up at him.
"I mean, I'm done pretending, Patricia. I don't want you working anymore, too many eyes on you my dear, men are like Wolves and vultures, they’ll steall you away like thieves in the night, I want you to be my obedient little housewife, my mindless pleasure drone," he said with a cruel smirk.
I feailt my heart brake, I knew the risks of marrying a monster, he would always want to eat you because he loved you so much, but with Wilton, it feilt so much wores, He already fed from me on the dealy, It made we wonder what the difference betwine his feeding on me and his feeding and Absorption of Mr Beck.
“W..W..Wilton, You already take so much from me!”I spoke, shaking as he crassed my cheek.
“Shhhh, its ok darling,onece your my mindless pleasure drone, you wont feel tired from my feedings, all you’ll feel is my deep love for you!” he smiled down at me, wiping my tears as they fell.
“I…i..it wont hurt will it?” I asked, feeling Defeated and  small under my husbened, he smirked as he kissed my tears.
“Of cores not, when have i ever hurt you.” he spoke softly, his eyes filled with nothing but love.
“O..o..ok, i’ll do it.” I said sadly,Wilton kissed my lips, then grined as his tentacles pushed out of his body, oozing purple goo, they pushed rather forefully into my mouth and both ears, making me feel funny.
“Your my good little house wife, you never talk back, your always ready to make love to me~!” his voce spoke, making my body feel funny, my eyes began to get havy, my body swayed to his voce, I smiled in a dazed as my eyes fluttered closed.
I was a Successfully programed mindless pleasure drone.
The end.

Hello :DD I had sm Thoughts about this chapter, if your intent was to leave all your readers laying in a pool of tears u have succeeded 👍
-☀️
"He'd assumed, by virtue, that Mumbo was keeping himself out of the loop. Apparently not."
- GRIAN. HE TRIED TO TALK TO YOU TWO CHAPTERS AGO AND YOU IGNORED HIM.
- Also like how when we circle back to this point at the end of the chapter- Mumbo brings it up, Mumbo apologises- Grian lies and goes through the conversation "on autopilot", forcing himself to register absolutely NONE of the emotion so that when he goes through with his plan he can have this degree of separation- (if that's what you call it?). Just like how right here he's ignoring/selectively forgetting the fact that Mumbo did try to talk to him
-☀️
"some of the wariness clouding around them begins to clear, burning down into an ashen, sickly relief."
- I chose this one because of the "burning" metaphor. It creates this imagery of something akin to a wildfire when Grian's actions were first revealed. Emotions were blazing with fury, grief, confusion, horror and betrayal. It's all still there, but muted. For Mumbo specifically and how he initially reacted when G woke up the metaphor makes it feel like Mumbo completely burnt himself out with how he felt about everything. What's left behind in an ashen log, a carcass ready to collapse into dust at the next breeze.
-☀️
"A relieved Mumbo is a Mumbo protected against someone he can't save."
- "Someone he can't save", meaning mumbo being unable to save grian, but dually meaning that Grian doesnt believe he can be saved- not by himself, not even by his best friend. He's tried, tried to stop making the games, tried to live off of MCC. It didn't work; he's stopped trying to save himself.
-☀️
First batch!! Also, u mentioned this a while ago now but have u ended up going to that cafe you mentioned?
incredibly excited to receive your thoughts sun anon!!!! :D im so glad you liked this chapter and yes i was maybe banking on a LOT of tears over it ngl >:]
Grian's deeply unreliable narrator-ness makes me SO insane tbh, im so obsessed with how he very deliberately ignores things that dont fit into his personal narrative. Like ur objectively right Mumbo DID try to talk to him!!!!! But in Grian's head, that doesnt support his "i am doing this for everyone's greater good" agenda, so he dismisses it. Same as the gold farm-- Scar actually mentioned it to him all the way back in chapter 5, but when Mumbo asks if he knew, he insinuates that he wasnt told, without actually confirming or denying. Its a fun little tidbit that i enjoyed adding-- i really like highlighting just how unreliable Grian's perspective is rn wrt reality :]
I am SO happy you enjoyed that burning metaphor-- its definitely attached to that wildfire imagery, but its also attached to the concept of cooking for me too!!! The idea of letting something simmer down and thicken, except its burning, was very integral to that snippet ^.^
And yep!!! That was 100% what i was going for with the saving comment :] im so happy you enjoyed those, and i cant wait to see the other stuff you liked!!! Your inbox comments are a highlight of my day, truly❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
(also i did get to go to my cafe a few weeks ago!!! i was supposed to again yesterday, but alas i woke up with some bad allergy symptoms so i ended up laid up in bed instead 😭😭😭😭 hopefully i can go again next week, especially bc i have a very good friend visiting and i'd love to show it to them :] thanks for asking :D )

i may be one of the most cc!thomas crit bitches out there but i feel like ppl saying "oh that was one giant ad" rlly dont know how ads work. the crofters thing? that was totally JUST an ad. the first one was a song about the brand deal, the second one was literally multiple separate commercials in one video.
the stuffy video tho? thats how u mix content and advertisement WITHOUT it being intrusive or overpowering. he doesnt even actually mention that you can buy the plushies until the very end of the video. the rest of it just used them as props for the mostly unrelated subject of the video.
idk man maybe its just bc i rlly like the topic of "is it valid for adults to use traditionally childish items for comfort" (spoiler alert: yes it is) so the topic being a good one could be giving me rose-tinted glassed to a degree. but i rlly feel like that was different from like the crofters stuff where its JUST an ad.
did we get serious lore? no, but we didnt get that for the first 3/4 of the first season, either. so maybe its nostalgia goggles too, bc this reminded me a lot of some of the videos where thomas wasnt trying to tell an over-arching plot that never went anywhere. it reminded me of the early days where it didnt have to be about all the lore and drama and it was just some dude asking the parts of himself for advice.
so maybe its rose-tinted glasses bc of the topic, maybe its nostalgia goggles for the less complicated era, maybe it's both, maybe it's neither. but i rlly feel like this was at LEAST better than the crofters videos lol

i was in the 3rd life fandom since just before the first series finale and yeah ur right! it was like 1-3 months before people started really committing to romantic scarian, a lot of people were super hesitant on it and then there was just this big wave of people shipping them, like someone flipped a switch. especially after last life started and the fandom expanded a lot (partially due to lizzie and mumbo being added with their v large fanbases). i wouldn’t be surprised if scarian suddenly being shipped had to do with the flower husbands discourse that was going on at the time-there were both people who were calling anyone who personally didn’t want to see flower husbands as romantic homophobic and people who were generally against shipping calling anyone who did ship them freaks, eventually that got mostly resolved and people stopped harassing people over it (at least, on tumblr) and treebark got really popular maybe a week before scarian did, though jokes about both were quite common at any point after the finale. sorry for the ramble i just genuinely like talking about fandom history shdhjsjsjd
DON'T APOLOGIZE i really do love hearing about this kind of stuff i am always welcome to rambling!! i don't really have a lot to say honestly because i wasnt there until a little later but i feel like even when i joined it felt a little shaky... really not so much anymore now. it is really nice that like for the most part people just don't really care. on tumblr at least

A Haunted Mind p2
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Part 2 of the last oneshot!
tw for mentions of manipulation, toxic relationships etc
requested by @mariabrightmoon
Tumblr media
It had hardly even been about an hour since Catra had gotten up and sat on the windowsill, staring at the stars while deep in her own thoughts.
Catra leaned her head gently against the surface of the window, forehead against the glasses and eyes shifting focus from the stars back to her reflection, staring at her own eyes for just a moment before closing them with a light scoff.
She felt something nudge the leg she had dangling over the side of the windowsill, said something letting out a concerned noise that resembled a worried meow of a cat.
"Hey melog..." catra sighed, reaching over to give the cat-like alien companion a pat on the head, scratching melog behind the ear as it emitted a purr in response to the affection.
"Guess I kinda do need your company..." she spoke quietly as she continued to pet her companion. "my mind's a mess, melog..."
The companion glanced back up at her with folded ears, shifting it's base to a more frosted-dark purple colour as if projecting how she felt through colour. 
"Yeah...I guess I'm kinda sad...feels more than that though. Like...regret? Ugh I hate that word" catra hissed at her own admission.
She did regret a lot of things though, almost everything she did in the past. Kidnapping, manipulating, bullying and more...she was no longer as proud of her actions as she appeared to be when she'd done them.
Catra did try apologizing, of course, she wanted to try and make up for it, be forgiven for causing hurt. She learned the best way to be able to move forward was to accept, forgive and forget, at least that's how one of the princesses had put it. She wanted to give that a try so she could move on..
Tumblr media
"Look, I just...this is really hard for me but I'm trying okay? So I just need you to hear me out" Catra had her hands raised in an act of assurance to try and come off as less of a threat.
"Alright... we're listening." Mermista crossed her arms and leaned back in her chair with a skeptical look towards the feline woman.
Catra was convinced by adora to join the princess meeting this time, a change to give everyone a formal official apology and ask for forgiveness. Probably the only chance she would get since the squad planned on heading back to space travel very soon.
Everyone sat around the large table, their attention all directed to her. Princesses, the king, allies...adora.
Catra took a deep breath before expelling it with her words. "I want to say that I'm sorry. For everything. All of it. Everything I said, all my actions when I was with the horde, everything that lead up to....to horde prime." Her voice wavered at the end but adora placed a soft hand on-top of hers and she kept going.
"I know i did a lot of bad things, hurt a lot of people, caused a lot of damage..but I just..need everyone to know I'm apologizing and I want to do better from now on. I want things to be better, I want to help fix things." She briefly glanced her eyes over everyone's faces to gage their reactions, and what she saw only made her feel worse.
"Sorry isn't going to make up for it, you know that right?" Netassa sounded like she would have raised her voice and snapped something worse at catra if her wife wasnt holding onto her arm to keep her calm.
"Yeah, you kinda broke my whole kingdom and stuff" Mermista pointed out with annoyance in her usual flat tone.
"And you ruined my ball and kidnapped glimmer and bow!" frosta added with a huff.
"The point is catra...you did a huge amount of hurt and damage...it's going to be incredibly hard to forgive you. We're not saying we don't want you here or that we aren't going to give you a chance to improve and do better going forward..but I think it's safe to say our trust in you right now is next to non existent, and most of us won't be forgiving you or accepting your apology.." Glimmer explained with a solemn look on her face.
"We like that your on our side now, sure! But...like glimmer said, we don't forgive you for what happened, and we don't fully trust you right now.." Flora chimed in with a sad look in her eyes.
Catras ears pressed back against her head. She wasn't sure what she was expecting in the first place, but maybe she should have expected this rejection...then it would hurt less.
"You can make all the apologies you want, try as hard as you want to 'be better'...but what you did? I mean you forced open a portal that nearly destroyed the world! Because of that we lost angelica! There is seriously no forgiveness for you there" Netassa scowled.
Catra felt her tail tuck between her legs and wrap around one of them, melog nudging her knee reassuringly.
"Right, yeah, no..that's..fair. I get that." Catra nodded, eyes on the table to avoid looking at anymore of their harsh stares.
Tumblr media
The moment was clear in her mind as the stars light outside the ship. She understood perfectly why none of them trusted her, she certainly didn't forgive or trust herself all that much either.
The rejection hurt a little less now after some time processing it, but it still stung to think about how they might never ever forgive her, and she'll live with the guilt for the rest of her life..
Melog gave another worried meow before biting her wrist and tugging her away from the window. It wanted her back on her feet.
"Alright alright...I'll come back to bed" catra sighed quietly and stood up, following her companion back to the room she shared with her girlfriend.
Riddled with guilt and hoping adora was still sound asleep, melog lead her and her haunted consciousness back to bed, where she curled back up next to adoras snoring sprawled out body.
The minute her head hit he pillow she felt her eyes grow very tired and the alien curled up by her legs. Cratras eyes became heavier as minutes ticked by while past events kept running through her mind, though she did still managed to completely fall asleep after a bit
It would be another dreamless night for her..

Metal Vocalist Indicators in Astrology
Tumblr media
I decided to do something a little different to practice reading natal charts so I had the idea to look at metal vocalists' natal charts. Unfortunately, for many of them I couldn't find any birth times so these will mostly be aspects and planet placements. I was specifically aiming for metal vocalists that actually "scream" and not just sing, even if the music they make is more like rock rather than metal to see if there's any significant indicators. So i'll start this list with the placements I saw the most.
Water Mars
This is the placement that appeared the most. I was actually very surprised at first to see this placement pop up A LOT. But the more I thought about it, the more things added up, because of how much water mars bottle up how the feel. I think water mars channel the energy of metal music very well. I was expecting to see a lot of fire mars, but I only saw a sprinkle of leo mars and aries mars here and there.
Examples:
Scorpio mars: Serj Tankian (System of a Down), Jonathan Davis (Korn), Marilyn Manson (Marilyn Manson), Angela Gossow(Arch Enemy), Joe Duplantier (Gojira), Franz (Attila), Kadeem France(Loathe), Winston McCall (Parkway Drive).
Cancer mars: Phil Anselmo (Pantera), Chester Bennington (Linkin Park), Caleb Shomo (Beartooth), George Fisher (Cannibal Corpse), Chris Roetter (Like Moths to Flames), CJ McMahon(Thy Art is Murder), Alex Koehler (Chelsea Grin), Ben Burnley (Breaking Benjamin).
Pisces mars: Chino Moreno (Deftones), Zach de la Rocha (Rage against the machine- yes, i know, he raps, but he does in fact scream in his music), Frank Mullen (Suffocation), Jake Luhrs(August Burns Red).
Mercury-Uranus
This placement makes a lot of sense, because this placement is a huge indicator of having a unique voice in general. I mostly saw a mix of harsh aspects(conjunction, oppositions and squares.), but there were some harmonious placements also.
Most of the people on this list above had this placement, but here are some without water mars:
Ex:
James Hetfeild-conj.(Metallica), Tatiana Shamayluk-sextile(Jinjer), Maynard James Keenan-trine(Tool/ A Perfect Circle), Morgan Landers-sextile(Kittie).
Mars-Uranus
People with this placement have a desire to express themselves through ways that are considered 'out there', hence, this is a good placement for metal vocalists(screaming).
Ex:
Tom Araya -conj.(Slayer), Corey Taylor -opp.(Slipknot), Maria Brink -square(In This Moment), Lacey Sturm -Trine (Flyleaf), David Draiman -square(Disturbed), Chad Grey -Trine(Mudvayne).
Extra Indicators:
These placements weren't as common but I saw some synchronicities to them, so here are some extras.
Mercury-pluto/lilith/saturn- I suppose these placements could sort of an edge to how people communicate, but it wasn't super abundant.
Sun-Mars - this was fairly common, and ofc it makes sense that people with this aspect would do something as bold as scream in music.
Moon-mars - This one wasn't super common but I could definitely see how people with this placement could be potential metal vocalists.
Leo Mars- after all the water mars this is the other more common mars placement. Roar, Leo, roar!!
Taurus Mars- Yet another placement I was not expecting, but I did see it in a lot of people's charts.
Possibly Virgo moon- okay, to be fair, again, most of the natal charts I looked at didn't have birth times so this could be inaccurate. If it wasnt for that I would've put this placement at the top of the list with water mars, but from what I saw a-hell-lot of vocalists had this moon sign.
Conclusion
I'm going to be honest, I was expecting to see a lot of aquarius or aries, but to my suprise that wasn't the case. But the point of this post isn't to say that you MUST have these placements to be a vocalist or whatever, but just to see what kind of energy is most likely to be suited for metal screaming. I put a lot of time into researching this stuff, but it was fun anyways😁.

okayyy i finished the new ending in Lisa the Joyful so yeah, heres another long Lisa post. this will more so have a short list of what i did and didnt like of the game since i know opinions are often mixed. but ill have a long focus talking about the new content compared to the rest of the game. and will later go on about characterization and writing in detail.
Also while you can find a no commentary video for the new ending, almost all uploads skip an earlier portion of it, so I uploaded it myself! with timestamps.
TW for uhh the same triggers- sexual, physical, verbal abuse mostly.
SO OKAY. Okay.
The brief on the main game....
What I did like:
I like the general story. I enjoyed the horror of watching more and more joy mutants arriving, even some of the warlords being joy mutants already, and normal characters like the uhh shelf vendor guy being a mutant. additionally things like wearing a mask mattering. i think it was important to too still have some weirdos bc thats one of the key things in displaying the cycle of these men's behavior. music always good too of course. i enjoy Buddy's internal conflict too and i dont mind here characterization-- its just the pacing. I actually liked the epilogues a bit more than what the endings actually told us lol... tbh they carry more weight in terms of giving us information about the past. But the ones that hit hardest are the ones where Lisa tells Buzzo to mutilate her so her father wont want her anyways. and the one with Brad's father forcing him to drink alcohol and go with him to lisa's room (to presumedly watch his father abuse lisa).
What i didn't like:
the "original" endings (not the new definitive one) were weak and i am sure most feel that way. I think actually the issue for me is the choice... cuz playing with joy? well i think the "stay with them" makes sense as she gets more fucked up and unstable (and assume addicted). the joyless route makes me feel like i should fittingly take the "leave them" ending bc she is mentally aware enough to know she still hates what happened to her and wants to leave them behind. the choices of them feel conflicting to the routes you might choose but you dont think about it bc there is no consequence to taking joy! the pacing of course is a big complaint. cuz see i dont think the story or writing is horrible i just think it needed to be longer in order to expand on all those things rushed through. the ideas would feel good if the pacing didnt speed through it. the Yado epilogue is fine too but i think just left more questions than answers than the endings themself so i would have rather done without it imo.
As stated i will go WAY more into the characters after I talk about this new stuff. I will talk heavily about what happens in it too so feel free to read this later if you dont watch it... but you really should look at the new Painful and Joyful content as they also kinda go together.
NEW CONTENT..... kind of new ending, it plays directly into it. Unlike Painful where it doesnt alter the actual ending content. and i will go over the normal endings a bit more in relation to this bc of how it affects pacing etc...
So On one hand I like what it added and on the other hand it wasnt great-- which all plays into the games already existing pacing issues. Which is a shame. i liked collecting the items, the meaning of the statues (n the dialog being the same as the Painful one), and the exploration leading up to the warlord fight. I chose not to fight the warlords because they were so damn strong and I like that there was recognition for not fighting back. Idk if i feel like there was a good reason for them to be there but I think it at least gives more meaning to the warlords since they didnt DO that much in the game other than to be killed. Most had barely anything to say.
For the bigger Secret at the grave for Lisa-- I liked this a lot too actually. Getting to hear from the guys their thoughts about Buddy that is from the assumed context theyre already dead here (w how Sticky's death is mentioned esp) is just kinda nice. The further content with Berny and Dusty, where Berny tells him to fight harder and to treat girls with aggression.... yeah that hits. The cycle of abuse really just continues huh. The rest of it is fine, I feel like it does give some better commentary on character's thoughts but it is quite short, and is left on a more metaphorical note with the flowering skull and whatnot.
Now is the part I see more conflict on AGAIN and I dont blame people for being conflicted about it. I didnt mind the way Buzzo talked about Brad in the original-- I dont think that writing was an actual excuse to Brad, I think it was just Buzzo trying to blame himself instead for everything (the new contents dialog with the sticky/rick/cheeks also had good to say on Brad's behavior and not excusing it but talking about the abuse of drugs in the context of that). I did feel that the conversation wasnt enough in the original though, to fully imply that he was talking like that or to give a better conversation on drug abuse. Buuut here we are w the extended new dialog with Buzzo. I did like how he started getting more depressed and angsty about Lisa! And the comment "she would have loved it here" is interesting bc i feel the implication is that she would have loved being in a world where all these men are now gone. but let me move onto the rest bc like, that matters the most here.
woof okay. So Buddy goes off when Buzzo says that which i get. However this conversation falters in the same way the whole game does. Buddy gets a LOT of talking time here. And she kind of keeps going in a way that really doesnt feel plausible you know? The new stuff added more connection between her and Lisa but its not enough to make us think she should be defending Lisa. I think there couldve been a neat exploration of all this comparing to Lisa but Joyful doesnt have that time. While I cant claim it, Buddy's rant kiiinda feels like a rant from behind the scenes with how less in character it feels. Buzzo is made far more pathetic and I don't disagree with this realization that he'd dissolve into a little pathetic man, again the game just doesnt have the time to make it work better.
and dont even get me started on Buddy's inconsistent opinion on Brad... this is like, annoying and I mentioned it in relation to the ending choices. After this new dialog rant Buddy sounds like she is forgiving Brad/coming to realize things about him that gives her more understanding. And i think that is fine BUT the issue is that right after talking to Buzzo the game returns as normal and when she sees mutant Brad approach, she reacts with genuine upset at seeing him and comments how she never wanted to see him again :/
I know at this point there is no way they could have "salvaged" Joyful for this release-- that would be too much and I dont think itd be right to get rid of the old endings entirely (Painful didnt, nor did the new content change anything about it). Its a shame- some of it was good. some of it i think they just shouldnt have done (the end buzzo fight) because it just conflicted more/kind of highlights the pacing problems. if anything i think leaving out that buzzo rant would have made the rest of that feel like it did help the pacing because it gave a pause between the ending of the game. anyways.
CHARACTERIZATIONNNN
righto. i think i covered pacing enough so i will try and leave that out of every comment i make here lol.
So like, I dont have a problem with Buddy's intentions in the game exactly. Her actions in many ways make sense... at least I would say that its fine she is very violent. That is literally the main thing Brad taught her whether or not you look at the start scene of Joyful, it reflects in how she would always be told how dangerous the world is too. The pace of course, makes this all happen so fast.
And of course the biggest hit that I think turns off many is how much talking there is. I certainly love hearing more from characters, Brad was quiet because he was brad, yet no one else needs to be quiet too so i think thats fine. But with Buddy's life it seems like she should have been quiet until her mental state and mindset shifted due to her treatment and justification of violence. even in Painful she seems relatively quiet and Joyful takes place right after pretty much.
In terms of others-- Rando is fine, like hes not that bad. We didn't know him all to well and what we know of Dusty i expected him to be a nice kid, esp w the whole adopted thing. But his back and forth with Buddy was more annoying w how short the game was (doing things, wanting to run to the other place and being stopped for a scene at the campfire by force. repeat.) I did like the whole deal with his friends and later his death too. Buzzo so i dont completely hate buzzo minus the fast jump in the new content. but he was pretty unhinged in Painful and to see it completely drop seemed wrong. i do think it make sense he probably felt loads of guilt for brad... but we just again, didnt get enough time with these characters.
Other characters? Well i mentioned it above but the warlords did NOT get much of any character. Which sucks bc if those parts alone had been extended (their area being longer or more full of interactions) i think it would have helped the game too. In terms of the other antagonist, Bolo, considering he was new for this game I think he was just fine. His role was small in a good way and honestly when he did appear it was for good moments that worked. The whole scene with him, Rando, and Buddy where Buddy tries to save Rando was probably my favorite part lol? Simply bc i think it worked well for all of their characters. For all of them I think it was my favorite moment of characterization-- Buddy's choices to drop or hold him both work for her i think. And yikes, disgusting moment with Bolo. And I will be real, I think Joyful needed that. The game was short so i wouldnt have wanted more but, Painful had it uncomfortable and gross moments and I think that is important to an extent of really pushing the importance of narrative and experiences of Buddy (and reflecting Lisa).
uhhhhh yeah i think thats most of what I can say. iirc i wasnt around for the old kickstarter but Joyful was a stretch goal right? and i heard Austin isnt exactly happy with it either? its really really a shame that it was a stretch goal that felt forced. I get why it was a tempting goal for people but.... it just sucks bc its clear that is why this game turned out the way it did. i wonder often if him not doing much else with the series is simply bc joyful had to be the "conclusion" and its not one hes exactly happy with either. tbh the series could have just been Painful and it would be fine. but if Joyful wasnt a DLC i imagine it would have been likely we'd see a full fledged sequel instead and it sucks it had to go that way. i definitely dont hate the creator for it but itsucks for everyone that even the additions in Definitive cant fix what happened already with that game.

More Advance Wars Reboot rambling!!
I just finished the AW2 campaign! So i have more thoughts! (Possible Spoilers below!)
-Sensei's Theme's did NOT need to SLAP that hard!!!!
-Colin's co power song slaps too.
-I also really like Flak's, tbh.
-Adder's features seem very "round" compared to how jagged his original incarnation is. I think it was so he fit in the style better, but his vibe is definitely a lil different (not that im complaining! His movements are so smooth, and that gives its own kind of appeal). His CO power animation is A Lot, haha.
-Hawk's theme feels a little weird... but i wasnt really a big fan of his theme in the first place.
-I'm sorta mixed on Jess's redesign and theme remix. She had a specific, masculine vibe i really liked in AW2 and AWDS especially, and now she has a very strong Power Lesbian feel in a different direction. Which is good! I still like it, but it's different. It feels like they decided on making her pretty, which wasnt really her thing? I think part of her appeal to me was she was pretty androgynous, and that isnt there in this design. her theme Has all the parts I like, but has some additional things that I think i just gotta get used to. 🤔
-What the heck is Sturm doing with ANOTHER special last boss theme? Geez, this game has so much music!
-I also forgot how insane Sturm's stats were in the AW2 campaign. my god, this guy.
-I'm glad they animated Hawke blowing Sturm up, lmao.
-Oooooh New design room pieces 👀 I can make the 3v1 final boss map i always dreamed of when i was 13, lmao! This is awesome~
This remake makes me insanely happy. The past week has been pretty productive cuz the Brain chemicals released from playing has been doing me good for my mood (though they are tapering off now. Good things dont last forever!)
Ultimately, i do think the Voice acting was probably the weakest part. The awkwardness i mentioned in my last post aside, It still feels very weird for Andy to be sounding like OG Ash Ketchum (Veronica Taylor), and a lot of the voices arent what I originally imagined them to be. But that's sorta expected when a game has had 20 years to kinda fester in your brain :P
I really hope they remake Dual Strike in the future, or even just had Updates/DLC that added new stuff! I honestly miss the units from Days of Ruin, cuz the Anti-tanks, gunboats, rebalanced Carriers, and bike infantry were awesome, and it'd be really neat to see how they interact with the older cast.
I still gotta go back and 100% the campaigns, buy all the characters, art, and music, and maybe do some war room maps. Lots to do still :V.
