So, we talk a lot about Quarry headcanons and what could have been on the Brainrot Discord server that Kat made and one of the things I keep thinking about is how they gave (at least some of) the characters these sets of skills that never really impact gameplay, and I think it would be really cool if they did. Like, if there was more variety in who could be sent on which path. Switching Kaitlyn to the Hackett house path with Laura and Ryan to the scrapyard with Dylan being a popular one for fanfic, but also, idk, maybe Dylan won't let Ryan go without him so he ends up on the Hackett house path too? Maybe Abi steps up to go with Kaitlyn to the scrapyard and has to figure out the crane even though it's way out of her skillset, maybe Emma and Jacob can actually come back and link up with the rest of the gang instead of being stuck out in the woods for so long, stuff like that.

I'm just thinking about what their skills might be and how that might impact the game. Also keep in mind that if the character you most need for a task ends up up dead before that task comes along, it's going to be carnage for everyone else, which would up the replay value significantly IMO.

Kaitlyn: Shooting. She's a MUCH better shot than Ryan, if we can believe the Shooting Stars scoreboard (four of the actual children attending the camp score higher than him), but we never see that in the game? What if the aiming mechanism was actually different between different characters? What if there were shots you could make more easily as Kaitlyn, that were harder to pull off as Ryan?

Ryan: Agility. Guy does a lot of running and jumping, what if there were timed segments that were easier to complete as Ryan within the allotted time, or else something consequential happened? Good luck if you ended up plodding along with Jacob instead, now Abi and Nick are both mauled and turning, or something like that.

Dylan: Tech. Dylan's the physics nerd who slays at the crane game. What if you could bring him to the Hackett house and he could figure out the electric circuit puzzle in no time, but that meant someone else had to help Kaitlyn in the scrapyard? Maybe Ryan can still save Jacob without him but he takes too much time and the Hacketts catch you and pick off one of your party.

Jacob: Strength. Jakey's probably the buffest of the dudes, so maybe there are times you need a pair of strong arms or legs and Jacob's the only one who can come through. They also show us him picking locks but he never does that in an impactful situation, so maybe he'd have a lesser talent for that as well.

Abi: Stealth. Okay, so Abi runs and hides? Maybe she's awesome at hiding, then? Maybe she can get through parts of the game undiscovered by the werewolves that other characters can't. Maybe her being short AF means she can fit into hiding spots that you can't cram the leggy bois like Dylan and Nick into.

Emma: Observation. Emma's always watching and analyzing everyone's behavior and documenting things on her phone. Maybe she can find evidence or tarot cards others can't, or put pieces of the mystery together in ways no one else thinks of. Emma's a badass in the game, but it would be cool to see her 'documentarian' side come in handy prior to the credits rolling, too.

Nick: Climbing. I completely made this up because we don't get to see Nick do much besides try to pull his crush, suck face on a dare with Emma, and get mauled, but we do know he takes kids through the ropes course based on his dialogue with Abi, plus he's tall so he's got long arms and legs! Maybe he's the aerial expert. Maybe he can scale fences and get important items down from trees. Maybe he can climb up and free other characters who get stuck in those snare traps. (Obviously this assumes someone else can be the Designated Werewolf Victim, which I also think would improve the game.)

This also assumes Laura and Max keep their current roles, but I'd be up for that to be changeable too. It's not that I necessarily want a higher number of choices available, I just want the choices we can make to actually impact the gameplay and story arc more! Anyway, that's my Quarry ramble for the day (unless I come up with another one). Anyone else have thoughts?

Jacob custos x reader fics are so rare ☹ I would literally pay someone to write more 😩

M'lady, doth this harlot bother thee?

If you ask the chain for their worst/ most annoying enemy

Time: redheads- I mean Redeads

Twilight: *stifling a laugh* Shadow beasts

Four: *deadpan* Gibdos

Legend: *can't think of anything challenging* I'm gonna say, umm... *shoots a teasing glance at Sky* Sleep

Wild: definitely Guardians

Sky: Demon lords with long tongues

Hyrule: *looks at Sky* not even gonna ask about that one, but Octorocks. They're everywhere in my world

Wind: I was gonna say Octorock too! But specifically Big Octo, those are the worst

Warriors: ...

Warriors: SO WHAT AM I THE ONLY ONE WHOS GONNA SAY GANON

Sometimes I think about the potential possibility of Leo accidentally portaling himself to the Prison Dimension should his powers develop enough. Considering how much he struggled with them at first, if they were to get stronger, and moreso, if it became easier for him to portal to places he’d been before…I can imagine that developing into a constant, looming threat in the back of his mind.

Excuse me where is the high quality gif set of this interaction? I am dying of the cuteness. I think I’ve always picked ‘run’ here for some reason.

Also another dialogue echo of Jacob saying “skill!” when he climbs in the window. When this game is on point it is SO on point.

Not to focus on the wrong things of this chapter or anything but watching Aqua struggle to make it in the entertainment industry for 128 chapters just to watch his rating be worse than a lot of random side characters that just appeared in this chapter is so funny help 💀

i think maybe way too much about how useless Ch'en base skill is

there's literally only 3 operators in the LGD, and it's herself, Hoshiguma and Swire. yes, Ch'en alter is affiled with Rhodes Island, and Swire alter is affiliated with Lungmen

as for our three LGD operators, Ch'en's only Control Center skill is this one, her other skill is in the Reception Room. Hoshiguma has no skill in the Control Center, she only has a Training Room skill, and Swire has one skill in the Control Center, that doesn't even affect the moral of operators

i guess you could slap all three in the Control Center for a marvelous increase of +0.15 morale/hour, and that'll be the only effect they'll have with the +7 order efficiency from Swire

Ch'en. dear. why

Here's a question for the rest of you:

How do you experience joy? What does it feel like for you?

Because I'm realizing that I experience other types of happiness - mirth at good humor, delight at things that invoke secondary feelings like wonder or awe or that are just very charming, tranquility when things are (at least for the moment) calm and I am able to be content - but joy, enduring simcha?

I'm not sure I've actually ever experienced that, at least not in a way I can articulate.

If you do, how does it feel?

Vash vs Livio Favorite scenes compilation

I keep getting notes about how others see Aroace Dazai AND YET THERE'S NO POSTS ON IT????

Like where are the analysis about Dazai feeling disconnected from humanity and how things like love and sexual desire are two of the main things that people say make us human (incorrect but not the point). Why is no one talking about the vulnerability required to even participate in a romantic or sexual relationship???? Dazai Osamu the man whose bandages serve as an allegory on how he won't allow anyone to come too close and see underneath his facade.

And as much as I keep thinking about the nurse scene and Chuuya's threats to send Dazai's address out there are still multiple plausible explanations that aren't related to him having a sexual relationship with any of those women.

Young Lucius: Monk in Training

We were so close to getting a tome Lucius...! IS actually remembered Lucius existed and gave him an alt, but then they forgot which weapon he starts out with again!!! (I'm sure it's intentional, tbh)

So close yet so far~ 😭

this piece was on the backburner foreverrrrrr

i legit started it over 6 months ago and never got around to finishing it. I promised I'd finish it if Lucius stayed in 100s in CYL, so here it is, haha. It's actually a lot older than it looks. How time flies

tiktok cringe comps are literally just *a fat person does the exact same thing that a skinny tiktoker does* *someone does something and their background shows that they don't have an upper class development house* *a disabled person does the exact same thing as a non-disabled person* *someone who doesn't fit society's beauty standards does anything* *teenage cosplayers having fun* *someone does something literally everyone else does but doesn't have as good video editing skills*
