I don’t know if this was asked before, but maybe reactions of the companions seeing a real life alien spacecraft and said alien? It always bothered me that they never said anything when you discover the ship

Thank you and also I enjoy reading your blog!

Fo3 Companions Reactions To Seeing An Alien/Alien Spacecraft

➼ Word Count » 0.9k ➼ Warnings » None ➼ Genre » Platonic/Romantic ➼ A/N » I'm assuming this was meant for the fo3 companions cuz I remember feeling so cheated when they just watched Lone get kidnapped and never mentioned anything about it

Charon takes his gun out the second he spots the UFO on the other side of the hill and gets noticeably more tense the closer you both get. He'll hold his arm out, silently telling you to stay back as he inspects it closer. He won't have much to say about it, only giving you a few grunts in response if you ask him any questions. Charon hates everything about it. It's too much of a mystery for it to be safe, and tries to shoo you back the way you came from. He panics when the strange blue light covers your form and takes you upward into the spacecraft. He tries to shoot the aliens the moment he spots one wandering around. He doesn't trust them at all and will gladly massacre the whole ship if it means the two of you will end up surviving.

Clover doesn't believe in aliens or understand the hype surrounding them, so when she sees the spacecraft for the first time, she's not all that impressed. If anything, she's bored and will want to go home. Especially when she sees one of the aliens for the first time. She thinks they look disgusting and would want to wipe them out as soon as possible.

Star Paladin Cross finds the UFO to be a technological marvel and would want to take in as much information as she can to take back to the Brotherhood. She'll be slightly distracted with the crashed ship to immediately notice you being taken, but once she looks over and realizes what's happening, she'll take out her gun and start shooting (although she'd prefer it be within range for her to just bash it with her sledgehammer). She'll see the aliens as abominations and will want to slaughter them all the moment she's given the opportunity. The aliens, however, find her robotic body to be fascinating and will try to keep her for further studies.

Jericho thinks it's stupid and will opt to just kick at the crashed spaceship. Who finds these things interesting, anyway? He freaks out a bit when you begin to be abducted as he feels as if it was his fault you got taken. Unlike the others, he won't try and attack the aliens immediately. Instead, he pretends they aren't there and tries to find a button or something to get you guys off and back into the Capital Wasteland. He still thinks the whole thing is stupid, and the entire interaction would make him hate aliens all the more.

Butch is arguably the most excited out of everyone on this list. Ever since he left the vault he's been hoping you both would run into something like this. He'll ramble on and on about all the comics he used to read back in 101, and hey, did you ever read those? 'Cause they were the most exciting thing that ever happened to the vault. He's talking so much that he hardly notices you being sucked up into the sky, but he quickly grabs onto you when he notices you leaving the ground. He fanboys so hard over the aliens, opting to ignore every bad thing about them and instead focusing on how accurate the comics had gotten them. He'd be heartbroken if you had to kill them but definitely prefers to be on the ground than in space. He'll never stop telling others about the incident. He's so amazed at the world outside the vault, and it only serves to inflate his adventurous side more.

Fawkes finds the crash site intriguing as it's full of technology he'd only ever seen in science fiction novels. He makes a point to stick close to you as he's almost certain this entire place is bound to be dangerous, and he's proven right when you're both abducted. He's very polite to the aliens throughout it all, however, being locked in the glass enclosure reminds him all too much of his time in Vault 87. He doesn't like it on the ship all too much and gathers as many resources and weapons as he can to break you and all the others out of the ship. If he could avoid it, he'd prefer not to kill any of the aliens as he believes they were only curious and hadn't meant any real harm, but if he had no other choice, he wouldn't lose any sleep mowing them down with his minigun.

When RL-3 hears the word 'alien' he thinks of immigrants, so when you come across the alien spacecraft and get kidnapped, he considers it an act of terrorism, or at the very least, a hostage situation. He'll command the creatures to unhand the both of you immediately and if they don't comply, he'll have the full US military on them for false imprisonment. They don't listen, of course, not understanding a word either of you say, and carry on with their research. He'll hold a very negative impression of aliens and anything extraterrestrial afterward.

Dogmeat will cluelessly sniff around the broken-down ship, not fully understanding what it is exactly. He'll then watch you get taken up into the sky with perked-up ears and a slight tilt of his head. The aliens aren't that interested in dogs so they leave him right there and that's where he'll wait until you manage to come back.

Winter Was Not An Exciting Season

When I started writing this, about 3-4 episodes had dropped for most shows that started in winter 2024 season on Crunchyroll, and I came to the conclusion there was no reason to get excited... And I think that's pretty much how it worked out. I stopped watching most of these shows at some point. Eventually I dug into the archives on Crunchyroll instead... which was much more rewarding.

I by the way never bothered with "Solo Leveling" or "Shangri-La Frontier" because I don't get what's the point with these kind of shows. OP skill this, video game that, and usually no actual stakes at all. Why bother?

Delusional Monthly Magazine

Hot trash.

Weird scientist tries to place his research in a paper that's more of an "I saw an UFO manned by Elvis" style tabloid. Lots of unconvincing hijinks happen.

Stopping point: I switched off in episode 1 when somebody suddenly developed a superpower because this is all over the place. And stupid.

Villainess Level 99: I May Be the Hidden Boss But I'm Not the Demon Lord

Girl gets reborn as the hidden boss of a game she used to play. She decides to avoid becoming a problem and also levels up to 99, which is a level reached by no one in this world (and the limit).

It does not help that she has dark magic as attribute and the heroine of that game is a light magic user.

What's hard to bear is that she gets constantly ostracized way into episode 4. Everything she does is taken negatively and the potential love interests of the heroine (it's a dating sim) constantly stir trouble for her because everyone assumes the worst.

On the surface this is yet another show about being reborn into a dating sim, like "The World of Otome Games is Tough for Mobs" or "I'm in Love with the Villainess". Though I can't help but think that the setup is also a tongue-in-cheek about how being exceptional can get you bullied in Japan. "The nail that sticks out gets hammered down" is idiomatic there for a reason.

In general a decent show, but what kind of person is the protagonist that she doesn't understand social cues at all? I don't think that's established very well.

Stopping point: I'm not sure why I stopped watching around episode 6, there seems to be no strong reason beyond losing interest. Might revisit.

Sasaki and Peeps

Middle-aged salary man gets himself a pet bird which turns out to be a reborn wizard from another world.

What follows is a wild (and also illogical) mix of genres. He gets transported to an Isekai world and learns magic, but mainly he wants to open a business there by transporting Japanese goods there and selling them. (Yet he never figures out that he could transport gold back to pay for them - or just be rich.)

His magic then gets him recruited into a squad of psychics fighting other psychics. He's totally OP because psychics have only one ability and his magic works differently for every spell. Anyway, the show doesn't benefit from cutting across plots. It first tries to hit the "living the quiet life in another world" vibe, then goes into "everyday man thrust into the world of superpowers", and now seems to also tap into "adventuring in another world..."

Sasaki is likable enough, an innocent man, mostly, really drab and unassuming. What disturbs me is that so far all the females appearing are minors. There's a high school girl waiting for him every day next door - why? I don't want to know. His wild colleague at the agency who is a snappy dresser? Supposedly 17. (Yes, high school age.) The person he's supposed to protect next - a child beauty. (She seems important as she was given a completely "doll style" credits variation of her own.) I seriously don't want to know where this is going...

None of the GIFs here on tumblr feature the protagonist. Funny.

Stopping point: After Episode 3. After the third under-age girl appearing I was wondering how many other genres they are going to cram into this one.

Hokkaido Gals Are Super Adorable!

Tokyo boy moves to rural Hokkaido and meets his future girlfriend, a total gyaru (gal).

Actually, he meets several, but I can't imagine this show playing out any other way. Has surprisingly little to say about Hokkaido itself except that it snows a lot and you need to keep warm.

The show has a mellow, slice of life flair but lacks originality. I actually ended watching the full season, it's an easy show to watch. The three heroines are all pleasant people that overlap with part of his life, making the harem-ish setup of all three crushing on him a bit annoying since two of them never stood a chance.

Stopping point: I actually finished this one but I must say the drama built for the last episode was a complete no-show and completely unconvincing, even by the typical "Japanese is a language of unsaid things" standard.

The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic

Frankly, initially this was the absolute highlight of the season. I waited for every episode.

Two talented teenagers are summoned to be the heroes saving another world. And a third, average guy, who happened to be nearby. He ends up stealing their thunder because he has the rare healing magic talent.

Surprisingly, the other two people are really decent (looking at you, "Shield Hero") and in general he's treated well. The only dramatic concern is that healing magic has found its master in his teacher, an over-the-top drill sergeant style woman.

It quickly becomes apparent that healing magic, if used wrongly, is the strongest of them all - giving you infinite stamina, instantly restoring your strength, making you the perfect tank. You just have to train like a maniac. Which our drill sergeant ensures will happen.

Stopping point: After episode 7. The show is funny and has heart up to a certain point, but somehow I lost interest, also because it's destroying its previous vibe by hinting at impending doom. Interestingly I read a review today that points to mid season being a complete drag and messing up the pacing, and the finale not saving it. I guess I'm not surprised?

7th Time Loop: The Villainess Enjoys a Carefree Life Married to Her Worst Enemy!

A woman gets reborn into another world as a noble, only for her defining moment to repeat over and over. She turned down by her prince fiancé and basically ejected from her social status.

But this filly has spirit, and so she cuts out a life of her own successfully. Only to die in a war years later and to find herself at the same scene! Since she retains her memory she starts to pick different routes, leading various lives, picking up skills and knowledge, only to die eventually in the same continent-spanning war.

Her last time around, something odd happens. Just as she's escaping her betrothal she runs into the instigator of that war, the dark prince of the empire. And he is so taken with her, he proposes to her.

An unusual setup for sure. At some point we will likely learn what is behind the whole war business, but just watching her navigate all situations in stride is actually interesting by itself. As the title suggests, big drama is mostly absent so far ever since her "final life" started.

Stopping point: Middle of Episode 6. The mini-villain little brother turns out to be the complete opposite of a schemer and actually only wants the attention of his oniiii-chaaaan!! The whole flip was so unconvincing, I couldn't anymore. It's absolutely unclear why the guy she married does anything, including telling her to avoid his brother.

Tales of Wedding Rings

It would be hard to take this show serious at any level as it mostly exists as a vehicle to get this guy together with big-buxomed vixens for plot reasons - but there isn't much plot either.

He follows his childhood love to another world and accidentally marries her, getting the first ring of power. Then he learns he must fight off some evil led by the Abyss King. For that he has to marry more princesses.

There's no logic to the action, though. In the first kingdom he can fend off abyss monsters but gets his ass handed to him by an abyss knight. So they run off, abandoning their own kingdom?!? Then, as soon as he gets the ring from the elven princess he easily hands the abyss knight their ass without even trying. Instant wipe. So that knight keeps showing up and somehow evil rings appear and there's no rhyme or reason to the drama.

Otherwise it's pretty clear that he wants things to work out with his childhood love, but the other girls want attention, too. So another unrequited harem, badly done, too. And yes, the kingdoms they encounter are sexy elves, sexier cat people, and lolicon demon people. Expect plenty of fan service.

Stopping point: Episode 9. No special reason. The show is easy to watch, undemanding, but also doesn't deliver much. You can pick it up at any point and leave it and you won't miss much. Ironically I got mostly GIFs for "Rings of Power" when searching, and frankly, even this anime is better than that.

A Sign Of Affection

I almost forgot this one.

The heroine of the story is for all practical purposes deaf but she soon gets to know an absolute boy-hunk and wonders what these feelings are. Which she then proceeds to find out since he also likes her.

As for a story that focuses on a character with a disability, it does very little with it except her having a lot of trouble reading situations around her and the impediments of communication. And people constantly getting in her space. (Which is a necessity but unusual in Japan.)

It's certainly a high profile production for a romance, with great art.

Stopping point: After Episode 2.

In spite of being a fan of romance stories, it somehow rubbed me wrong that not only does an absolute model boy (the art is good enough that nobody needs to tell us) become immediately interested in her, he also is portrayed as this interesting character who travels abroad in a moment's notice for his studies. Mr Perfect on day 1. There didn't seem to be anything interesting to be going on at all. So I lost interest.

When looking around on the internet, in most places this show is described with one short paragraph for a synopsis. A critic compared it to "A Silent Voice", but that show needs almost a full page to have its synopsis laid out on Wikipedia - because it's a complex take on multiple topics - disability, bullying, social dynamics, and the ability to change. Somehow that strikes me as a contrived comparison.

shawn/gus: firsts

okay. so, slightly embarrassingly, psych has become the show I watch to fall asleep to. and I am such a sucker for friends-to-lovers.

Shawn gave Gus his fireman PJs. He pretended they were a joke, but they weren’t. They’re cozy PJs, and Gus gets cold at night. Plus, they did that arson case with the fire department that one time, and Shawn is secretly a little nostalgic.

Shawn also gave Gus his copy of The Idiot’s Guide to UFO Chasing. Not because Gus is an idiot, of course, but because despite the distinct lack of actual extraterrestrials during that one case with the slightly questionable lawyer, they still both kind of believe aliens are out there.

Shawn gave Gus his first Batman action figure, and his first roll of Hubba Bubba bubble gum tape, and his first black eye, although that was an accident. He hadn’t realized scooters could go that fast on a downhill slope.

Shawn would have given Gus his first kiss, if he hadn’t thought it had to be from a girl. He’d have taken him to his first dance, asked him on his first date, if he hadn’t known they’d both be laughed out of school. He’d have been the first one to marry him, if he hadn’t been so scared of his feelings he’d run away to travel around the world and work a series of menial jobs that never lasted more than six months.

But the thing is that none of that matters now, because he’s definitely going to be the first one to propose to Gus while ziplining through the forest and over a massive ravine with a babbling creek at the bottom. He knows this partly because this is an extremely unusual location for a proposal, and partly because it was so difficult to get Gus to go ziplining that Shawn knows no one else would have managed it.

“A player doesn’t zoom through the air with only a fragile wire to stop him from plummeting to his death,” Gus had informed him. “A player keeps his feet firmly on the ground.”

But Gus agreed in the end. He’s wearing a helmet, and kneepads, and also elbow pads, like he’s going roller skating and this is the only way his mom would let him out of the house. He’s complaining nonstop about the tensile strength of the line they’ll be using, and Shawn has never loved him more.

“Come on, this is a great date,” Shawn tells him. “An adventure date!”

It’s Gus’s first time ziplining, and that’s a nice thought. It will be Gus’s first time being proposed to by Shawn, which is also a nice thought. But it’s not the firsts that are making Shawn smile as he watches Gus eye the equipment suspiciously. It’s true he might not have been Gus’s first love. But he’s damn well going to be his last.

Sam & Max Hit the Road | Part 4

The Adventurer's Log

In which smooth progress is made and wow that feels good. After last time's mess upon mess it was time to start with exploring the Mystery Vortex and after that a chance with a Star.

It got weird pretty much immediately. The characters would shrink and grow as I moved around. Random stuff around, different sized doors, a wacky mirror, floating objects, the works.

I briefly checked out the mirror and got sucked into a cave with giant magnets.

I wanted to explore the main floor first though, so I didn't stick around.

The different doors: any time I got near one I'd be the wrong size to enter--either too big for tiny doors, or too small for big doors. There was an open route I could take though that took me too...

That's right: the gift shop! You can't have a tourist trap without a gift shop, right? Sorry, an upside down gift shop.

I found they'd had a Bigfoot here too, but he'd disappeared too. Quite the trend here. I did get more Bigfoot hair though.

With that taken care of I went back to the magnet room and found three and they each had a lever. Turning one on made it glow with a colour. There was red, blue and yellow and the colours could be mixed. I tried some and poked back out to see if anything changed in the place or outside where I parked the car. Nothing, but then it hit me that each of the doors were a different colour. I tried lighting the red one and sure enough I was able to enter the red door without being warped into the wrong size.

Most of the doors just had a silly fun comment, so of course worth doing, but the white door was my answer and I found Shuv-Oohl at last.

He and Bruno go way back apparently and he said he always felt a special kinship with Bigfoots.

Now, here is where all my bumbling before actually helped as I had solved a couple things ahead of time. Shuv-Oohl did some psychic mojo and saw Frog Rock, a place between Mount Badrich and the World's Largest Stump. As I'd already fixed the binoculars I knew those locations already.

However, he claimed he couldn't concentrate as well anymore since losing his mood ring. Aha!

Straight up telling me he lost it in the biggest ball of twine. In all caps. Just rubbing salt in the wound. I found it all on my own thank you kindly. I mean, accidentally as I wasn't looking for it specifically, but still! It saved me a back and forth trip anyway.

In return for the mood ring he told me to spread the hair of three bigfoots over Frog Rock then to sprinkle some mole man powder over that and gave me some said powder. I don't want to know what that is.

Yay for prematurely solving things! I took off after doing another check around hoping like hell I wasn't missing anything again, and headed straight back to the Ball of Twine (again) and with the repaired binoculars quickly found Frog Rock.

It was a very disappointingly normal looking boulder. I feel Sam and Max's disappointment too. Max wanted his money back. No money paid, but it's the principle of the thing.

I did as instructed and things got weird.

The stars came out... rather pretty really!

It did not make the rock look any more like a frog.

And then a UFO showed up as one does, and another moleman popped out and sucked up the bigfoot offerings.

All the stars whooshed around to converge into a mysteeeerious message:

"Go to Bumpusville". It sure does mean something, Max.

It means a new location on the map!

Off to Bumpusville! It's as tacky as it sounds!

There wasn't too much outside, but there was a wishing well that had a couple gags.

I finished the game! ...or not. Fine, Sam, fine. I also got a wish to read Max's thoughts.

It was most enlightening.

Inside the mansion was even worse. Tacky at its tackiest. I can't quite do what happens here justice, both silly and twisted and some things are better experienced yourself. So, hey get the game! Anyway:

Off to a great start with both a cardboard cutout of Bumpus that when examined has a recorded welcome message that also warns you not to touch anything. Then of course there's the giant Bumpus paining in the middle of the wall to greet you when you walk in. Delightful.

Some choice records:

Such as "Two-Fisted, Beer-Drinkin', Gun-Totin', Hard-Lovin' Fast-Drivin', Country Western Liverpudlian." or "Broken-Hearted Roadkill on the Highway of Romance." And such. There's also a cleaning robot that goes to different parts of the mansion.

The fun don't stop there. In further exploring I found paintings and trophies and the guy does like his taxidermy... I looked at a portrait of John Muir. Max wondered who that was and the, well the taxidermied animal heads were happy to oblige at least in Max's world; Sam remained oblivious.

Nothing like some dead animals to sing/recite a poem to educate you! I'm glad this game is voice acted. I want to be clear I mean that genuinely. It just got better from here.

Anyway, naturally, I took the portrait. Then carried on to Conroy's recording studio area. I, well, I got treated to a one song show.

And I found Trixie and Bruno imprisoned to be his accompaniment here while getting zapped because he's terrible. In more ways than one.

I can't find a clip for just this part but I can link to the song for your listening pleasure.

youtube

I wish I had recorded a clip myself but obviously I didn't know it was coming and then I was too preoccupied with what just happened to think of reloading a save. Anyhoo...enjoy? I certainly did. I love a performance in a game, even terrible ones.

With his oh so hard act of being a country western star with a menagerie of the odd finished he took off, a laser trip wire went up and there was a place to use a key to disarm it. Obviously I tripped the wire. His henchman came and threw us out.

Being a game where you can't hit a dead-end I waltzed back in and continued the exploration. I found said henchman, Lee Harvey, and a virtual reality contraption that he used for security and his own fun it seemed.

I didn't have much to do here yet, but clearly needed a way to get Lee Harvey out so I could use the VR.

I had one room left that was clearly Bumpus' room. There was a monster truck bed with an escalator taking you to the mattress because tacky. There was also Conrad's toupee that on trying to take it got me thrown out again. I did a bit of hemming and hawing. I figured I'd need some way to distract Lee Harvey so I could use the VR and from there profit. I thought maybe I could set some kind of trap in Bumpus' room. So I searched around there again for anything useful and found the manual for the cleaning droid in the top bookshelf and just needed to get it down. The golf ball retriever and hand combo came in handy.

Sam did some education. Max took an I'm sure needed nap that had nothing to do with the book getting dropped on him whatsoever, nope. He's fine.

And then I was able to do some maintenance on the droid and rewire it to clean the studio room. Of course there was an easter egg as well.

"Help me Sam and Max, you're my only hope!"

It wouldn't be a LucasArts game without a Star Wars reference somewhere in there, would it?

Thanks to the droids reprogramming it went off to the studio and tripped the laser causing Lee Harvey to go see what was going on and freeing me to check out that VR headset.

I got to fight and win against a dragon and like any good game enemy it had loot and dropped a key for the security device. We don't question how a key in virtual reality carries over the to the real world. Just take the win. Lee Harvey came back and we skedaddled. Nothing to see here.

I was able to get that trip wire disabled and free Bruno and Trixie at last!

Sam was feeling conflicted about taking them back to the circus. Max...didn't care and was ready to go. However, it was all irrelevant as Bruno and Trixie were not willing to go. They were already running late to a party at Evelyn Morrison's Savage Jungle Inn. New location again!

Off they went and off we went. Savage Jungle Inn time.

I went inside to find the lobby, a sasquatch bouncer and Evelyn Morrison herself, B-movie star.

I found out from her that Bumpus had been here but she'd had him ejected some hours previously for harassing her guests. I suddenly like her more. She also gave me some travel brochures that opened two more locations.

I couldn't get into the party area. Only sasquatches and their dates are allowed in.

I tried using the stiltwalker's costume thinking I could at least get the height of a bigfoot and got laughed at.

He may not be impressed but I'm guessing I'm on the right track and that I just need to spruce this costume up. For now I figured it was time to go.

I headed back out to a full-looking map!

So I have dinosaur and vegetable places next. Given the fullness of the map I suspect I'm nearing the end here. Though how long everything will take in those locations and where else I may have to return to is the big question.

One more post? Two more posts? Will I get hopelessly stuck again due to simply not seeing a thing again? Will Conrad Bumpus come cause more trouble for me and the Bigfoots? The latter seems a certainty. Exciting times to come!

𝖆𝖓 𝖎𝖓𝖙𝖗𝖔𝖉𝖚𝖈𝖙𝖎𝖔𝖓... LYLA JANE MOORE

margot robbie & she/her / cis woman ‷ watch out, lyla jane moore has crash-landed into roswell ! she looks thirty-two years old and celebrates her birthday on the thirteenth of december. she is from roswell, new mexico and resides in aurora apartments and is currently working as an animal handler. one thing you should know about her is she once held the new mexico record for longest time held on the mechanical bull ‷

about lyla jane...

1. being the eldest sister was a job she never applied for that came with little appreciation. she was the babysitter that never got paid, the maid that never got a thank you, and the chef that never got compliments. while, lyla figures now, her parents hadn’t intended on putting so much responsibility on their child --- they had. the child herself becoming the parent on a day to day basis. wake your sister up and make sure she gets dressed for school. drive your brother to their baseball practice and pick them up in an hour. watch over your siblings and make sure they don’t get into any trouble. whatever childhood and teenage dream lyla had envisioned for herself was stolen until finally she couldn’t take it anymore.

2. when sparrow disappeared, lyla had taken the blame. felt the guilt. worried enough for the entire family. upon their return, lyla couldn’t forgive them and decided to leave herself. when distancing herself from her family, she was amazed at how easy it was and how good it felt to be alone. for the first few months, lyla didn’t know what to do with the day as she never had so much time purely for her own hopes and wants. without a college degree ( having taken a year off to help with the family and then just never pursuing it ), she had stumbled upon a job at the ranch. it turns out that taking care of animals wasn’t as difficult as taking care of her siblings.

3. nowadays, lyla has become a wild personality --- every day a pursuit of making up for lost time; living out the life she wished she had when she was younger. when she isn’t out on the ranch, riding the horses and feeding the animals, she’s at the bar singing karaoke and betting on pool games. or going on late night drives and gazing up at the stars, hoping to spot an ufo with her own eyes. when it comes to her family, she doesn’t avoid them or want them completely out of her life. however, there is a clear barrier and years of hurt that need mending.

headcanons...

without a doubt, her favorite movie is bill and ted’s excellent adventure. she has two ferrets named after them.

would quit her job to work at medieval times IMMEIDATELY if roswell ever opened one up

finds the thought of aliens fantastic and terrifying all at once and that is purely due to the movie signs

is a scaredy cat and will jump into your lap in a scary movie

scams tourist out of their money while playing pool at the bar

go to song for karaoke is chiquitita by abba

a very good bowler

wanted connections...

wanted connections for lyla are... friends, karaoke pals (0/2), ufo sighting partner, late night driving friend, exes (0/2), hook ups (0/2), friendly neighbors, childhood friend, ex-friend, ex from high school, drinking partner, bowling team (0/5), horror movie buddy, etc !

𝙥𝙚𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙙 𝙗𝙮 𝙨𝙝𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙮...

twenty-six, kst, she/her ! in love with j names and stars wars! so happy to be here and writing with all of you ! please message me for any kind of plot or connection <3

#roswellintro #again not reading it back but heRE'S LYLA!

v glad to hear the burn will be slooow (&hopefully painful, and organic 🤞) so we can appreciate all the canon vidding (à défaut de fanvids 🥲 💘). speaking of, how do you make your gifs? do you record your screen, download the eps, something else? I’m very ignorant but curious on that front! and music-wise, That’s Me is so morgane 🤯🤯 Take a Chance on Me works great too, whoa (&I’d never heard She’s My Kind of Girl, it's v disturbing to hear the guys haha) a thought: Ring Ring for your POV fic

(Julia's adventures with the HPI anon)

Gosh, I'm all here for a sloooooooow burn!!! 😱🔥 Also it may sound weird but I think I'd just lose interest in the ship if they actually got together, like really as a couple? My jam is the longing, the pining, the miscommunication, all these moments leading to the final resolution but I have no interest whatsoever in what happens after that lol! So yeah, deffo hoping they'll keep chasing after one another for a while!

Okay, phew, giffing. Well, I had never giffed anything before I got into HPI (I guess Good Girls got me into writing and HPI into giffing, learn something new every ship and whatnot) so I'm just getting started on that journey and won't pretend my MO should be taken as gospel. I do download the eps, which is something I did before anyway (I've been an internet pirate and downloaded stuff since 2011, LOL 😅).

And then there's a whole process involving Photoshop which I learned from many tutorials and also the incredible help of my dear mutuals. I'll take that opportunity to make a public shoutout to @sdktrs12 and @lemoncupcake for answering my questions and being absolute rockstars who clearly saved me an immense amount of time. 💕💕💕 Ngl, giffing is a very time-consuming hobby but I'm having tons of fun. I thought I wouldn't bother you with all the technical details, but feel free to ask if you're interested! Also I can link you some of my non-spoilery gifsets if you'd like!

Yay, glad you liked all the ABBA stuff!! She's just my kind of girl is one of my fave songs but I agree it's quite a ufo in their discography, haha! (not sure you can use ufo the same way you talk about ovnis in French but eh). And oh, ring ring deffo has the vibe too! 😍

February 8-13, 2IY 1

Our adventurers postpone their confrontation with the armadillo-folk by convincing them to climb aboard the UFO in order to properly escape Kroch. Consequently, it is on the open top deck of the unique vessel that Roy, Nur, Arlex, and Zilybar convene to discuss what to do next (the armadillo-folk being too terrified of flight to be within earshot).

Do they throw the liberated gardeners from the UFO and head off on their quest unencumbered by complication? Does Nur try to bond with them, to be left in their community with the relic so that it can be the last piece of the throne to assemble and only be taken from the armadillo-folk for the shortest amount of time? Do they just steal the relic and not kill its owners? More complicated but more humane, too.

Ultimately, this last path is taken. The armadillo-folks' xenophobia prevents Nur from joining them, and their refusal to acknowledge the world-saving potential of the relic is stubborn and ignorant. Fully intending to return the piece of the throne to them once the sea has been turned back, our adventurers deposit them in the desert and sail off to the north - to the merchant city of Da-Badashi, where they hope to collect rumours and legends that might point them towards the next piece of the throne. (Zilybar also hopes to find a solution to the gang's cursed chest and bodiless soul.)

Here, they stock up on supplies and a few magic items as well as information. Investigating the seat back, which suggests a beneficiary without need for a chair, they ask about the Lost Forest (where many strange creatures reside) and turtle people. They learn that turtle people exist, but also about a species of insect-people that reside in the Lost Forest. Such people would not use chairs ...

Our adventurers are also pointed towards the east, to the university city of Azzimar, where many mysteries are being solved and unknown things are discovered.

The last item of business is to refresh their ship's stores ...

Australia's Bermuda Triangle

BIZARRE VALENTICH DISAPPEARANCE OF 1978

In the tapestry of unexplained disappearances, the Valentich Incident of October 21, 1978, emerges as a luminous thread woven into the fabric of cosmic intrigue. This celestial puzzle, shrouded in the enigmatic veil of the unknown, has captivated the imaginations of UFO enthusiasts and conspiracy theorists for decades, inviting us to peer beyond the veil of conventional reality and into the realms of extraterrestrial enigma.

Imagine a young and intrepid pilot named Frederick Valentich, soaring over the Bass Strait in Australia on what was meant to be a routine training mission. Little did he anticipate that his journey would morph into a cosmic odyssey, straight out of the pages of a riveting science fiction epic.

As Valentich ascended through the clouds in his Cessna 182L, he reported an inexplicable encounter with an unidentified flying object. The pilot's voice crackled over the radio, detailing a craft adorned with peculiar metallic features and mesmerizing lights. In the ethereal dance of radio waves, he uttered words that would etch his name into the UFO lore: "It's not an aircraft."

In this surreal narrative, Valentich described the mysterious craft as if possessed by an otherworldly sentience. The UFO seemed to mock him, mirroring his every move with an eerie intelligence that defied the laws of physics. The cosmic interplay between man and extraterrestrial unfolded, the UFO matching his speed and altitude with an almost ethereal grace.

The transmission took a chilling turn as Valentich reported engine troubles and declared, "It's hovering, and it's not an aircraft." Then, abruptly, all communication ceased. The cosmic ballet between man and extraterrestrial came to an eerie standstill, leaving only the haunting silence of an empty radio frequency.

Enter the realm of conspiracy theorists, spinning intricate webs of speculation around Valentich's disappearance. Did he inadvertently stumble upon a cosmic gateway to another dimension? Was his aircraft whisked away by intergalactic beings, drawn to Earth by a mysterious cosmic force?

In the science fiction narrative, such encounters often serve as the prologue to grand cosmic sagas of exploration and mysterious alliances. Could the Valentich incident be the initiation of a clandestine cosmic congress, where humans and extraterrestrials engage in a delicate dance of diplomacy far beyond the comprehension of ordinary mortals?

The absence of tangible evidence only stokes the flames of speculation. Did Valentich become an unwitting astronaut in an interstellar adventure, taken against his will to explore the farthest reaches of the cosmic unknown? The answers remain elusive, hidden in the cosmic shadows of the Valentich enigma.

There are many Youtube videos and blogs on this subject - here just one of them

We'll be right back after the break...

Elon's Ark

(Please Note: I do not endorse Elon Musk as a human, he is deplorable, selfish, transphobic, and probably a myriad of other things, this is merely a short story that is meant to be satire- Alex the FairyFindr)

Elon Musk found himself astonished and stunned by the fact, that he, would be the single most wealthy AND lonely man on planet earth after the realization that he would probably, most definitely, be the sole human survivor of what he could only presume was the end of WW3 and planet earth as he knew it. The poor bastard was visiting his space station at his hidden base on the nothernmost tip of Mars when it all went down. He watched, horrified, as America blew itself.. and the rest of the planet up, through its ignorance, hatred, and selfishness.

(Above: Earth being blown up due to WW3. A view of Earth from Elon's space station on the Northernmost tip of Mars.)

He opted to stay for a while in his secret space station with his robot assistant PAL, until his food rations ran out, and then they prepared their rocket for the return journey back to Earth. PAL was a Trillion dollar multi-disciplinary AI robot, and TRANSFORMER, who was developed by SPACE X, and is able to self-replicate and shape-shift into whatever machinery needed for space travel purposes. PAL was the ultimate assistant AND friend!

(Above: Elon and PAL, who was transformed into Rover-mode, exploring Mars' surface and collecting data while sharing jokes and laughs. Photo taken by PAL's break-off drone who documents their lives, work, and friendship for them)

PAL was a real-life TRANSFORMER- just like the show Elon grew up watching. He knew one day he would create his very own Transformer, and with PAL, even he exceeded all expectations.

(Above: PAL in GIANT ROBOT MODE on a charging dock and Elon returning to the space station to retrieve the maps he left inside before they headed out on the day's adventures)

At this point in time, PAL and Elon had explored about 20% of Mars' surface together, gathering data files, measurements, levels, and scanning for inconsistencies to be aware of within, or on the planet.

It had only been 10 days since the event, and Elon had already witnessed various UFO's, spaceships, and other Alien entities and vehicles go down to Earth to scope out the damage. They all came and went within the few days so he figured that there must not be much left. Elon and PAL prepared each other for the worst.

(Above: Earth after the catastrophic event. UFO's and other alien vehicles coming and going from earth after the event seemingly leaving with nothing)

On day 11, PAL prepped the rocket for launch before Elon joined him. He climbed aboard and strapping into place next to his only remaining friend, PAL, and they looked at each other and nodded before Elon started the countdown.

(Above: Elon is pictured watching PAL get the rocket ready to launch before their risky return trip to Earth)

The timer hit ZERO and Pal waited for Elon to gesture before activating the launch button. The held each others arms and braced themselves as the rocket began to rumble and slowly lift from the planet's surface.

(Above: Elon snaps a selfie with PAL, who was in scooter-mode as they explored and cruised the desert-like surface of planet earth after returning to their home planet)

(Above: Top: PAL in TESLA car mode in front of the old Central Station in Post Apocalyptic Detroit.

Bottom: PAL in ORB UFO mode and Elon getting ready to get on board before they take flight and checkout the local landscape)

(Above: Elon takes selfies all across the World as he looks for any sign of human life, just to find absolutely no one.)

(Above: ELI / Elon takes a selfie with PAL who is in rover-mode during their earth explorations)

Elon- who has now changed his name to ELI (Ever Lasting Intelligence) and PAL can only search so much of the Earth on their own so they come up with the brilliant idea to clone Elon so they could maximize the intelligence and amount of work that could be done with more hands. They kind of get out of control with the cloning and end up with 10 of them. Now there are 10 ELI's running around and annoying the shit out of each other.

Now Elon uses his billions of dollars worth of hardware and AI technology to scour the planet of any living animals to bring back to his headquarters in Texas where he works day and night with is AI assistant and 10 Elon clones.

(Above: Elon's WARS [Wildlife And Retrieval System] machinery uses a multitude of methods to properly and safely attract local wildlife in each area of the planet. This image was taken while coaxing the local wild cats of the, now very toxic and radiation-filled, Amazon Rainforest)

(Above: Two mini AI robots break away from the WARS machinery for solo- retrieval. On the left we have a baby spider-monkey AI meant to coax monkeys and their families to trust the machinery so they could be safely transported back to the base in Texas)

(Above: Two mini spider monkey AI robots and their 4-wheeler used to quickly and safely transport orphaned monkeys and rescued monkey families to and from the main WARS machinery)

(Above: Orphaned monkey baby befriends one of the mini AI robots and the robot escorts him back to the WARS machinery base)

(Above: Adolescent monkey befriends baby spider monkey AI robots and they lead him back to the WARS base)

Elon's AI drones and WARS machines found a remarkable amount of life still left in the Amazon Rainforest, but the area was badly damaged with radiation poisoning ravaging the local animals and wildlife. His WARS machines were able to safely explore and retrieve all the remaining wildlife in the rainforest and relocate them to Elon's headquarters back in Texas. It was nothing like the Amazon, but the animals adapted well, and it was radiation-proof!

(Above: Monkey mother and her two babies wearily observe a few AI monkey robots from a distance before approaching them out of pure curiosity)

(Above: A tiger cub native to the Amazon Rainforest approaches a mini AI robot along with two baby chicks who all end up befriending him and he coaxes the three of them to be rescued)

(Above: A giant black panther and a baby leopard approach a glowing machine in Elon's Secret Lair)

(Above: Two abnormally large wild cats rescued from the Amazon Rainforest, pictured here in their new home at Elon's radiation-proof bunker and secret laboratory underground somewhere in Texas)

(Above: Elon is pictured on the far right with one of his unreleased off-roading TESLA vehicles at the center and a giant Amazon rainforest cat whining at Elon for being homesick)

MA (Maternal AI), as the name may suggest, also acts as Elon's emotional support and motherly figure. Being the last living human being to survive such a catastrophe, he needed to create a very comprehensive AI system that could trick someone such as him into truly feeling a human connection with another, and MA was his greatest accomplishment to date. Elon had already tried cloning himself, but after having about 10 Elon's hanging around the laboratory with him, he quickly grew bored of them, but together they collectively agreed that a totally different entity altogether would make for good variety of company, and together they worked for 10 days straight developing and building MA 1.0.

Even though she looked nothing like a human, her empathy, care, and love for Elon was very apparent to him ad he no longe saw MA as the AI robot she was but as a mother and fellow human. MA helped Elon discover things about himself and the planet that he never thought possible. Elon learned humility, compassion for other species, animals, and plants that he never had before. How ironic, was it, that now, after all humans have died, he would finally find the beauty in connection with them and the planet around him. But that wouldn't stop him from appreciating the perspective now. Oh how he wished he spent his time with humanity in a more wholesome way. Too bad he couldn't go back with this perspective and change his actions, maybe, just maybe things wouldn't have ended up as the did.

Hello! If it's not too much trouble, could you please write some Headcanons for Older! Steven (Steven Universe) dating a Tomboy girl? So like how he would react to his girlfriend being boyish, dressing masculinely, always being covered in scabs and bruises from adventuring and maybe some fights, and taking up more traditionally masculine hobbies like Blacksmithing? Thanks so much, I hope this isn't too weird of a request! ☘️

Steven met you on the Miami beach.

That’s it. That’s all. He met you on the beach, first.

You went up to him and tapped him on the shoulder. “Hey, my friends and I are in the middle of some dumbass debate, how old are you?”

He was definitely taken aback by your straight forwardness. “Uhm... 19.”

“Fantastic.” You smiled.

“You?”

“18, 19 on Saturday. Would be a shame if I didn’t have a cute boy accompanying me to the movies and for dinner.” You winked.

“W-w-what about your friends?”

“There were no friends.” ;)

“Oh.”

You two began dating after that.

He said the first I love you, and that was AFTER you punched Kevin in the face.

Steven often finds himself buying and giving you more bandaids than flowers and stuffed animals

Not that you’re complaining.

He definitely did establish a “leave your scabs the fuck alone” rule. So... you have to leave your scabs alone now.

He plays connect the dots with the little scars you have from throwing sticks with kids when you were younger. “Dodge the UFO” you called it.

You and Bismuth DEFINITELY bond. She’s definitely your best friend.

You two made your own axe.

Steven came to see you and bismuth at her little shop and saw you branding a double-edged axe almost as big as you.

“What is that?!”

“I think imma name it Chad.”

You make Steven take you everywhere.

Taking to the diamonds?

You’re there.

However you leave if the topic of crotch goblins EVER come up.

“Oh Steven! Ever though of babi... where did (Y/N) go?”

You’re very firm in your stance on not having children before you’re at least 8-10 years into your career.

Steven is VERY much ok with that.

You’ve been taking MMA for a couple years.

You 100% steal his clothes. His jeans? Might as well be yours. You wear them all the time. After a point the line between living apart and living together are VERY MUCH blurred.

Oh he definitely steals your clothes too

“Is that my muscle tee?”

“And if it is?”

“Need muscles for a muscle tee Steven.”

You definitely like to tease him and call yourself the muscles of the relationship.

Do you like to WWE his ass?

You’re constantly pulling out the new stops.

The first time you two got into an argument he found you at Bismuths, yelling and kicking at the practice dummies.

“He has the NERVE to call me insensitive. It’s not MY fault the girl eye balling him.”

“You told her ‘keep staring and I’ll knock you cock-eyed’.”

“Yea but how’s the insensitive? It’s mean. I’m mean.”

“No you’re scared.” Bismuth put down the hammer and looked at you.

“Scared? Me?” You turned around.

“You’re scared. That’s reasonable. I mean, you’re what? 19? Real relationships will scare you. Pearl scares me a lot.” Bismuth chuckled. “Go and talk to him. There’s obviously some unresolved shit from your past.”

“No, it’s resolved.”

“Then why did you act the way you did?”

So you did, you talked to Steven. Who was there the whole time outside the door.

“I’m sorry for calling you insensitive.”

“I’m sorry for being an ass.”

Steven doesn’t pry for your past, or ask you why you’re living in Miami.

You eventually end up telling him why. And about everything. And Steven tells you why.

“Holy shit dude.”

You could only go and say that. You felt so horrible for what he went through.

“Hey Steve?”

“Yea?”

“I love you.”

“I love you too” :D

You definitely fight a lot of people. Boys, girls, non-binaries.

Your hands are rated E for everyone

“I will literally strangle you with your lower intestine.” You threatened a college boy who pushed you in a Sams Club over a pizza slice.

“Let’s not inside a sams club.” Steven put his hand on your shoulder.

“He pushed me.”

“And remember what your therapist said? Deep calming breaths.”

“Wow, wack job sees a shrink.”

You took a deep breath and walked away.

Until he laughed and you turned around, and you turned around punching him in the nose

“And back down to 0 days without a fight.”

When you two moved in together, offically, you just share the closet. It’s hard to distinguish what belongs to who

“Ripped jeans?”

“Mine... I believe?”

“They have an S on the tag.”

“Oh definitely mine.”

“ 🥺 you keep my initials on you?”

Steven DROOLED when he saw you nekky for the first time.

Tattoos???

“IS THIS WHY YOU WEAR FLANNELS AND LONG JEANS? YOU HID THIS FROM ME?”

“I wear tank tops.”

“So many tattoos 🥺”

He definitely drools over your body.

If you think he’s vanilla?

You’re definitely right.

Until he met you.

“What’s that?”

“What’s wh- Steven put that down.”

“I didn’t know you were a cop.”

Steven is a SWITCH and you will NOT TAKE THAT FROM ME

I like to think that low key places like mcc or Hypixel are different like fuckin planets? Along with different smps sometimes

Mcc is like a large collection of smaller planets which the societies on the collection value games and festivities to an almost insane amount so they host these championships both for fun and glory, inviting people to compete! Ranboo for some reason has been disgraced in the eyes of the rulers of mcc but he doesn't remember why like. At all.

Hypixel is very similar but it's more like a star system that exists on itself and you don't really get invited to it, typically you just stumble upon it or you're like. From it.

Purpled is from Hypixel and left for adventure with his ufo, he's now technically totally fucking stranded.

The way people typically get to the planets is forms of space travel Uh but due to the space thing in L'manburg never happening. The smp civilians have basically ended up using fucking magic/weird astral projection shit that they don't even realize that they're using.

This has ended up with the smp being viewed as a place that is full of wild magicians.

And the smp is a freshly discovered continent/world in my mind and unlike the outside areas it's been Basically unable to develop the normal amount for its self because of the people ruling it and the dsmp was like, not really m e a n t to be discovered/taken over. In my hcs dream back where he's from is a criminal and was constantly running away so when he found like new land with Noone around and only animals? He went "Oh shit, I'm probably safe here" and just stayed, inviting his friends and people he trusts to not turn him in making it a like "white listed" place-Radia

DUDE THAT SOUNDS ALOT LIKE THE HEADCANON I HAVE...

although "headcanon" is a strong word because i don't entirely headcanon it, it's more a concept where i was like "wouldn't that be cool" but i didn't think about it often

Rammstein is an oddity if one really thinks about it. They are a success story that never should have been. A group of misfits from a failed country form a rock band for the purpose of expressing themselves (and maybe cause some trouble). Singing in German was a big risk in the beginning. To top it off they are a group out of convenience and at the time didn’t have an emotional connection unless annoyance counts. It’s the guys themselves that fascinate me the most.

Hi Anon,

It's true that Rammstein is a bit of a UFO in the music world.

Its members are children of the second world war. They were born and raised in a country that no longer exists. They built their band in a country that was finding itself and uniting.

Today, Rammstein is one of the most powerful bands in Germany (the most powerful ?), a band that has become mythical on the industrial scene and a band that cannot be ignored when talking about the global industrial metal scene.

What makes this band so successful ? Without a doubt its members, beautiful, charismatic, short hair (for the most part and more often), a little military look, they are a little exotic on the rock metal scene. But also their music, the stage effects, sex and provocations, and the lyrics in German.

Singing in German is both a big risk and a good way to stand out from the rest. It's a big risk because the world is completely ruled by Anglophony, especially the music world. It is a risk because English speakers are less used to hearing songs in a language that is not their own and are therefore less likely to like and listen to songs in German, a language that has a reputation for being harsh and not "pretty to hear".

At the same time, singing in German is a great opportunity to stand out from the mass of groups trying their luck in this very closed field. They arouse curiosity and make people talk about them, which is always good to take. Moreover, singing in a language other than English can also help to avoid censorship on a completely different scale from the national censorship to which some of the group's songs were subjected.

I think they are brave to have dared, to have taken the plunge and to have stood their ground despite the accusations of right-wing, that cliché that sticks to one's skin as soon as one speaks in German.

As for the band aspect, one should not forget that they knew each other, directly or indirectly, before forming Rammstein. They weren't complete strangers when they embarked on this great adventure.

Fixing the Tomorrowland Problem

the Tomorrowland Problem is an ongoing issue that has plagued Tomorrowlands at Disney properties around the world. Countless times has this issue been addressed and someone has attempted to fix it, but, if Disney wasn’t so afraid, this issue could easily be solved, as they have many sci-fi films under their belt, they have just often times underperformed at the box office.

Films that could be the focus of New Tomorrowland include: The Black Hole, A Wrinkle in Time, Lilo and Stitch, Meet the Robinsons, Treasure Planet, Atlantis: The Lost Empire, 20000 Leagues Under the Sea, Big Hero 6, Wreck-It Ralph, Spectrobes, The Rocketeer, Escape to Witch Mountain, or even Tomorrowland, and I believe that by revisiting past concepts especially the Tomorrowland Problem could be solved.

Now, the first step is recognizing the success of Discoveryland in Disneyland Paris. Jules Verne is a great jump-off point to focus on. 20000 Leagues Under the Sea was previously a ride at a couple of Disney properties, but it wasn’t until I believe Tokyo Disney Sea, where rather than employing the use of actual submarine vessels in water, did the issues that plagued the ride see proper resolution through the use of double-paned glass that held water in-between, while the ride itself navigated a dark-ride show building, creating the illusion of being underwater. Journey to the Center of the Earth is also wildly popular in Tokyo Disney Sea, and I think, just as Disney is doing with Lightcycle Power Run, it should replicate this attraction into its other parks. Further inspiration from Disneyland Paris’ From the Earth to the Moon-spired launch cannon atop Space Mountain, while also exploring thematic cues from Verne novels Around the World in 80 Days, The Mysterious Islands, or Island On Top of the World.

Now, many people had issue with Stitch’s Great Escape, but I believe that this issue could be easily avoided, just cut out the low-brow aspects of the ride. Stitch’s escape to Earth is an action-packed adventure and could easily make for a fun roller-coaster or trackless ride experience. However, what I desire is something far more ambitious: a dark ride housing models and animatronics of all 629 experiments. People have always loved Stitch’s cousins, and creating a ride experience jam-packed with every experiment would allow guests to have differing experiences every single ride, trying to spot every experiment they can in the duration of the ride.

In terms of Wreck-It Ralph, I think creating an actual arcade in which you could play the video games from the film would be a great experience. Imagine Sugar Rush, Fix-It Felix Jr, and Hero’s Duty, games you could only play at one of the Disney Parks.

Theming could also be taken a step further with Big Hero 6′s San Fransokyo and its dirigibles, Meet the Robinsons and the futuristic building design. On top of the already existing rides: Space Mountain, Lightcycle Power Run, Astro Orbiter, Tomorrowland Transit Authority: People Mover, Carousel of Progress, Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin, etc. I’d bring back The Visionarium (The Timekeeper) from Disneyland Paris and the ORIGINAL Journey into Imagination for properties lacking an Epcot presence.

Additionally, I’d be interested in exploring bringing back Halyx in some form - although a live band experience would be more difficult to bring together again, what if audio animatronic figures performed a pre-recorded set, akin to Sonny Eclipse?

Furthermore, while revisiting old concepts, I considered the prospects of a Sci-Fi Zoo, converting the Autopia to a lunar theming where riders would control Moon Rovers, and even UFO Encounter - in which riders would get a Tower of Terror-esque experience a la alien abduction (tractor beam).

By focusing not on the actuality of tomorrow, Tomorrowland will never become outdated, thereby solving the Tomorrowland Problem.
