#fun for everybody but Ren MAYBE
Text
[@theminecraftbee inspired this fic! hermitcraft season 10's south neighbourhood becoming werewolves for the bit, ft. ren's propensity to take it seriously, and being the only one who does]
It was Stress who started it.
"C'mon, it'll be fun! I've never been a wolf before!"
"Werewolf," Ren corrects, pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose tetchily. "And it's not fun. It's a chronic condition that needs constant management and can lead to some serious carnage if it's not properly cared for."
"Ah, who cares about a bit'a carnage? It's, like, week two. People die, they'll come back, no harm done. And you're tellin' me you don't see the appeal in a pair'a teeth like that?"
"Not - not really?"
Stress huffs, good-natured, tilting her head and baring her neck. "Think about it!"
"That's vampires," says Ren, "you're thinking of vampires who bite necks. Werewolves don't have a designated spot to bite. Because, like I said, it's not supposed to be fun. You're not supposed to want it."
She sighs loudly and uprights herself. "Alright. Figure something else out, then, shall I?"
"Do what you will," he tells her.
And then...
Well, it's a very unfortunate coincidence, is what it is.
He doesn't mean to get as wrapped up in his Ministerial Administrative duties as he does. There's a lot of paperwork that Xisuma cheerfully shrugged off on him when he realised Ren was assuming an admin position willingly - inventory checks and server code assessments and Right To Host permits that all need to be thoroughly combed through before they can be signed off on. It's not the most interesting job in the world, but Ren's been dying for a bit of busywork for a little while now. Strange how a life full of nothing but card games and deadly dungeons can leave you pining for the simpler days.
But the evening stretches on, and the letters start to swim before his eyes a little, and it's all too easy to just let himself rest on top of the pile of papers for a second before he gets back into things, gently lit by the glow of the full moon...
Ren wakes up, as he does more often than he'd care to admit, entirely naked.
He's in the street. Or what will be the street once the roadworks have gone underway, which is currently a patch of grass like all the other patches of grass around him. His office is maybe fifty blocks eastward, his trousers are nowhere to be seen, and the sunlight is altogether far too bright for him to take in much more than that.
Once he stumbles back to the office with naught but a pair of paws for cover, he finds his sunglasses and his shirt, and he can start putting the pieces together. Namely that his upper body is quite thoroughly splashed with blood, his claws are also caked in red, and the vial of wolfsbane he was meant to take last night is sitting unopened on the floor amid a pile of shredded paperwork.
So. Erm.
Some explaining to be done, then.
His clothes were shredded by his transformation, but of course he's got spares on hand for emergencies exactly like these ones. Shame about his periwinkle tie; it's going to need a cold wash, a hot wash, and a good bit of stitching to get it back in pristine condition. Unless he could convince Xisuma to do a rollback, but he doubts it at this early point in the season where so many people are working through the night to get themselves set up. Mending will have to suffice.
He also finds his comm lying in the wreckage. The chat history is... illuminating.
<Iskall85> is that ren i see outside?
<Xisuma> Looks like
<Iskall85> oh dear
<Iskall85> oh dear oh dear
<Iskall85> everybody keep your doors locked unless you want to become a werewolf
<StressMonster101> ...
<Iskall85> stress???
<StressMonster101> well i was finkin about it?
<Iskall85> you're insane
<Iskall85> go on then. girl's night
<StressMonster101> false! you coming?
<falsesymmetry> to get infected with lycanthropy?
<falsesymmetry> yeah, alright
<ZombieCleo> did i hear girls night?
<Iskall85> i take it back. we're ALL insane
<falsesymmetry> wait, this won't kill me, will it?
<Iskall85> yes??? what do you think turning into a werewolf is
<falsesymmetry> oh, better not risk it then
<Iskall85> only on the hermitcraft server
<hypnotizd> do NOT start without me
Ren blinks, and blinks again, and checks his claws, as though he might be able to tell which of his friends' blood is under them.
Girl's night. They're all transformed into hideous creatures of the night just like him because they thought it would be fun. And here he stands uncognizant of any of it.
He's gonna need to call another meeting.
(At sundown, though. Today is a writeoff for the vast majority of the neighbourhood. Worse than any hangover, trust me.)

anyways. enough spitballing
i was so right abt fun parent tai
YANG: Do you… wonder why he’s not here? With everybody else? I know Qrow said he’s on assignment, but what’s more important than here?
RUBY: Maybe we don’t have the full picture.
YANG: I don’t know. Some things you just need to be there for.
first. there are two possibilities: if qrow knows what this “assignment” is, he hasn’t filled in his nieces and the old guard backslid HARD after team rwby fell—the exclusion of ren and nora from the secret meeting in B1 also points in that direction, so it feels quite plausible; on the other hand, if raven knows where tai is and what he’s doing, it seems strange that ruby and yang would not also know, unless the girls haven’t asked her about summer at all (in which case i’d believe that they’re just not really on speaking terms).
like if raven had a conversation with ruby about summer, i can’t see her hiding ‘the full picture’ with regard to tai if she knew about it, even if qrow wanted her to. maiden of knowledge, begrudging oz his secrets, and all.
on the other hand. if the girls know everything qrow does, that would imply that tai’s “assignment” is either an ozpin secret (and oz hasn’t been keeping his promise to be honest, which feels incongruous with him actively fighting his curse now) or a taiyang secret, in which case i am one hundred percent sure it isn’t to do with the crown of choice.
“maybe we don’t have the full picture,” says ruby, thinking about what the blacksmith showed her and what the blacksmith said. that’s the big lesson she learned in the tree, not to jump to conclusions on incomplete information. so that narratively links tai’s mysterious “assignment” to summer’s mysterious “last mission,” which was a “summer secret.” if tai stayed behind in vale to deal with a taiyang secret that not even oz knows about… it’s summer. lol. it can only be summer. if it were the crown, oz would know because ozpin would have given him that assignment in the first place; if it were defending people hiding in mountain glenn, there’s no reason for it to be secret.
but if he knows summer is alive and well and with salem, and he’s trying to, i don’t know, turn her against salem (or ‘save’ her)… well. maybe we don’t have the full picture indeed.
second. oouuugh the weight of what yang doesn’t say. back in v4 she forced herself to put on the prosthetic before she was ready and white-knuckled her way back to functional so she could go find ruby because her dad said he hadn’t gone after ruby because he had “some stuff to look after” at home, and yang thought he meant her; that the only reason he wasn’t out there with ruby was because he had to be here with her.
so she removed herself from the situation—left to find ruby herself—and tai… stayed at home. it’s been months, now. atlas fell and everyone is regrouping in vacuo, trying to prepare for an attack they know will come sooner or later, except tai, who is “on assignment.” what’s more important than here? what’s more important than being here with both his daughters, at the end of the world? if qrow knows, what’s so important that he has to keep them in the dark? if qrow doesn’t know, then it can’t reasonably be to do with the relic at beacon—which is the only thing that could arguably be more important than joining the vacuo coalition.
“some things you just need to be there for,” says yang. my dad just kind of… shut down. and then dad was always busy with school and ruby couldn’t even talk yet; i had to pick up the pieces. i had to keep things together, alone. ruby starts to reminisce about coming to this place with tai when they were kids, and it’s a fond memory for yang too…but one undercut with all of this. the outings were fun—they slowly increased from once a month treats to twice-a-week because ruby got so excited—(ruby is over the moon when she sees the boba shop; yang spends half the walk there second-guessing herself and downplaying the surprise; both reactions speak to their experiences of these outings in childhood)—and why isn’t he here now? why is it, once again, yang trying to pick up the pieces alone while he’s busy with something else more important?—and this time it isn’t even that he’s going to work to put food on the table and make sure bills get paid, he’s just “on assignment” doing… something. that qrow either won’t tell or doesn’t know.
and that feeling is what incites her to talk to ruby about her own failings, and the first thing she says is i don’t need an explanation, because she doesn’t want to make ruby’s crisis about herself but also because she’s about to apologize for not being attentive enough or present enough or aware enough to Be There when ruby needed her.
which is not untrue (surprise! parentified children don’t make good parents for their two-years-younger siblings!) but also. back in v5 when she confronted raven, yang compared herself to raven (you’ll give me the relic and run because you’re afraid of salem; i’m afraid of salem too but i’ll be here waiting for her when she comes after me).
and that’s what yang is doing here with tai (he was physically there and provided for their needs and took them on fun outings sure, but he wasn’t there, when yang looks back on her childhood what she remembers is a sense of overwhelming responsibility and isolation because her dad wasn’t present, and now he’s not even here; she let ruby down in a similar way, being around without really seeing what ruby was going through, but she sees now how she failed and knows what she needs to do to make up for it and she will, she promises, she already is.)

"And there's a magic act that saws Regina in half, and this time it will take! Now, that's a party!" (x)

New Dog's Life chapter today! ~ 3rd Life series fan-season
Chapter 18 - “Snap (Truce Night)”
❤️ Read on AO3
💛 Start from Chapter 1
💚 More Pixels Imperfect fics
---
Truce Night signals the whole Dog's Life server to settle down for sleep, unless you're Joel and Ren with a plan to lure in phantoms on a stormy night... or maybe Impulse, who's been on the hunt for Bdubs since Session 2 began. Don't worry about him! He's not on red, so he can't kill the guy.
After all, that would be against the rules...
(First 1,000 words under the cut)
---
Etho-Scar Alliance
Unaffiliated
GoodTimesWithScar - Pillager
🖤 💜 🖤
It really is a big cave. Cleo, Tango, Pearl, and Jimmy probably don't even know anyone's lurking around down here in the second tunnel layer. Or is it third or fourth? They're pretty deep underground. Scar drags his fingertips along the damp wall, tracing stringy moss against his nails. It flutters. He can feel this world breathing like a coiled dragon underneath the surface.
Amethyst nearby. I can feel it pulsing…
And there, around the next corner, is the friend he came to find! Scar keeps his trudging footsteps heavy, and not only because he's limping now (his glitch clinging on the back of his leg; difficult to bend). His crossbow doesn't make a fantastic cane. Mumbo went and tucked his bed in the back of the little cave. He sits at the foot of it, the sheets still neatly made up. Yeah, Scar's been there. When there's red life juices thrumming in your code, it's hard to settle down.
Mumbo's hunched over there at the end, rubbing his thumb against his diamond sword. He's in his pajama skin - loose white T-shirt with all-too-familiar red text scrawled across the chest - and breathes slowly, warmly, in a way that flutters his mustache.
Oh, he's very red, you see… but Scar is not afraid of him. Mumbo is his friend.
The torchlight flickers against the pale, sharp edges of Mumbo's face. The blade is sharp enough, he's already nicked himself a couple times on both hands. White marks expose the first layer of goopy spawn egg code stuff between skin and soul. As Scar steps in on swaying feet, Mumbo lifts his eyes. The torch crackles halfway between them.
"I feel nothing," is the first thing Mumbo says. That's his greeting - all of that - and Scar tilts up his mouth in patient sympathy. Mumbo keeps picking his thumb against the blade, even though he's no longer looking at it. Hot eyes fixate on Scar's… Hot and cool! Very cool. He likes to think himself cool in the head, anyway. Mumbo murmurs, "See, that's why I don't think this game's for me. I feel nothing."
"Oh, you love me. I'm always there for my friends. Everybody loves me. In fact, that's why I'm here."
Mumbo lurches to his feet. He swings his arm, bringing the blade straight so it points at Scar's throat from several blocks away. "I could kill you," he says. His voice doesn't slip, doesn't tremble, but lands without emotion. "I could carve you like a pumpkin. You too are a lump of pixels with nothing inside, falsely smiling. I'd feel nothing, I suspect."
"No, no," says Scar, striding forward. He's not afraid of Mumbo, silly! Not Mumbo in his bare feet and pajamas, his eyes wide and wild. Mumbo's a good guy; Mumbo is his friend. He steps closer. Mumbo's shoulders tremble. He tilts back his head, staring through Scar like they're separated by a curtain of fire and nothing more.
Gently (firmly), Scar knocks Mumbo's blade aside with his knuckles. "You just need a good murder in your system, Mumbo! Red life is where all the good times are! I might even be jealous- you get to have all the fun! Why, I've got to uphold deals and alliances, and I'm carrying Etho's weight along with it, and killing BigB didn't give me nearly the rush I wanted. Would I lie to you about the good times?"
"I could kill you. I could kill you, Scar."
Grian stole the traits of Enderman
"Um- No, no! You actually can't- See, I'm all alone down here; that would be so mean… You have to be purple for the turn of an episode at least, I think I heard. I'm looking for a friend!"
"I could kill you," Mumbo says again, knuckles tight around the hilt of his sword. It's still extended, and Scar's so close now that it's an easy flick for Mumbo to press the tip of it against Scar's iron chestplate. Having literal iron abs would be a funny sight. Diamond abs would be amazing. That probably hurts when doing crunches. Imagine all that grating back and forth… Diamond cuts diamond- that's a real thing. No, it's true!
"Oh, it's Truce Night… Killing me will have to wait."
Mumbo's glowing eyes bore in a little deeper. "It's not Truce Night 'til the double beeps go off. You're in my cave."
PearlescentMoon went to bed. Sweet dreams!
Scar's hand glitters white. He shifts his crossbow from his inventory to his main hand. Mumbo's blade still rests against his chest, but in all the red haze - and in all his red protests - Mumbo looks frightened. He's backed into a corner, and if he's spooked, he'll definitely swing. Will he, though? Scar's allowed to strike back if Mumbo hits him first. Reds are mostly dead, you know… Reds have wild, mind-messing mods pumping in their code. "But I want to team with you!" And he laughs. Isn't that obvious? Has he not been clear?"
"You can't, Scar." Mumbo's tone is short and fierce, like the blade pressing into Scar's chestplate.
"Oh, you were wonderful at scaring people back in Last Life."
There's a pause. Mumbo's eyes fidget like he's snapping screenshots or zooming on Scar's face. The sword point scratches, diamond squealing over iron. It doesn't drop any lower. "Well, that's quite encouraging. Thank you for, um… saying such flattering things about me." Mumbo blinks. "I don't really know what I'm doing here; to be perfectly honest, I feel like I was absolutely pants at being a red name last time. I really don't know if I deserve to be here."
"Why, you're here to be my friend, of course!"
"Am I? Really?"
"Oh, of course, of course… Have you seen Bdubs, by the way?"
Perplexity (Perplexion) stitches its way across every line of Mumbo's face. For the first time, the sword scrapes downward. It drops from Scar's chestplate and dangles, tip aimed at his heel instead. Mumbo upturns one hand. He holds it out, awaiting payment. "Have you brought me something nice? I can kill him for you. Would you like me to kill him for you?"
Such a polite request… Mumbo is so very polite. It's one of the beautiful qualities that makes him such a nice friend. Scar grabs his hand instead, shaking up and down. Mumbo's mouth twitches at the contact, though he keeps breathing and doesn't jerk back his hand. "Oh, no," he says, "but Bdubs is at the surface! And Bdubs is such a lovely man. It's our job to protect him."
"That… sounds like the exact opposite of my job right about now, Scar."

Liveblogging real life part 2: Joel (it's been 12 13 days) (already watched)
Okay so maybe we'll do the liveblog-every-five-minutes-unless-something-crazy thing also idk if I should link this up to my intro post (idk how) or reblogged my og one with this oh well we'll figure it out why am I eating AGAIN doing this
I got inspired after rewatching secret life my beloved for the umpteenth time :P
Okay ep. 1/finale is hilarious and new "series" 😭
Joel why did you point out the cursor I can't take my eyes away
First batch
Joel jumping then immediately keeling over in nausea:
Idk how to respond to that but it struck a chord within me, how true
BigB wholesome waving but it also looks like his arm is BENT I can't get over VR arms man 😭
Punching BigB because he's so tall is so real tbh + love the smash cut to Gem being salty
Headpatting + baby-ish voice "little gem/Ren/skizz" what a gentleman makes me think of the try not to cry challenge or Jimmy's crazy christmas series where he says Joel is a crybaby and Gem says he's a romance guy in a mental gymnastics train of thought
Grian throwing his head back from the outside?! Cryptid behaviour
The real life vids don't make me motion sick but Joel making retching and vomiting sounds does NOT help it makes me sick by proxy or something I hate being disoriented and nauseous too buddy
There's probably a video out there of someone comparing regular mc to vr because vr just hits different like proportions wise
Joel noises
Love this Joel-Gem duo already idk how to describe it just fun
Also Joel having to process out loud he won't throw up on Gem I remember playing Richie's plank experience or whatever years and years ago shit was REAL
Joel's inventory becoming disorganized with things that can be stacked together :(
Hey what gem said kinda reminds me of what grian said :D at the end of his episode awful :DD
Poor Joel he's battling his height complex alongside his motion sickness (rip bozo poor little meow meow)
I think almost everybody had the problem of facing the wall dude, it's okay it's very silly
Water foreshadowing (he will swim with his future gang and become incredibly sick)
Geminislay that pig
Wait till Joel learns about lying down‼️‼️
JOEL STOP MAKING NAUSEOUS SOUNDS I'M GONNA FROW UP 👹
"...Falling in powdered snow" kinda reminds me of this short story I read in grade 9 English class "The Bamboo Trap" protag fell in The Bamboo Trap™ and got bitten by big ass spiders or something the idiot, also I think got published in the same anthology as the most dangerous game 👊
Joel admits to weakness
Weird ass snow, someone built this or something?
Joel with his arms out looks so silly, so does gem
Oh gem how graceful with the figure skating history 👊👊👊✌️👉✌️✌️🤜🤛🤛🤜🙏
Lol they learn about the wrist chat
Second batch
Jimmy, oh iconic Timmy
Shield (why did I write this again?)
Bi shoes, love seeing gem's skin wearing the bi shoes I forget about it every once in a while and when I see it again it's a pleasant surprise
Vr players learn to pvp
When you use the shield to block in first person it looks kinda stupid dude
Campsite vibes tbh, I really like it.
Bee spotted 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝 what is it doing
Shaky controller cursor over top chest plate I feel you
Falling irl indeed (recursive mention about plank)
LOUD holy moly Joel is loud (not negative)
Healf being something people can't look at at all times is actually a kinda funny mechanic
Smajor friendship aww when will they team up (did I forget about a series)
The poor beg for bread, we live in a society ✊😔
Grian killing??? Since when??? (Sarcastic)
Batch three
Peace and love is why they haven't died yet 😘
Arms again! Weird looking things
Hand gesture reminds me of that one diamond scar short with etho's greedy "I want the diamond" voice
Flint and steel? Weird looking thing
Omg red club looks like bugs, the way the trio gossips about them ♥️
Right no out messages...
Can't believe the most motion sick man gets in the water not once but TWICE this ep
Does he know
Where did the horse thing come from
Can't remember if I mentioned this but when the sword swings without critting in VR it looks so silly it pokes
A bugs life: the sequel
Club: deadly euphemism
Sword 😐
Something about jimmy doesn't get burnt...
Why is Jimmy jiggles the only one with a wooden sword???
Strong words from a man on the verge of mania 👀
Lol knowing impulse breaks the ground under Joel big brain man going for the kill
Something about the disappointed way Joel says "scar!" And scar stabbing him in the first caused this
Tim is so British he says "get in" so much
Joel, again exasperated, cries out "where's all my stuff?!"
Funny Minecraft men, my favourite funny Minecraft men
My god seeing from Joel's perspective his second death is from zombie
I think Joel was about to saying bluming + the cover behind house + the constant begging for his stuff back + violence as an answer (he hits men)
4
Oh scar up to no good again
JOEL GETS IN THE WATER AGAIN!!! MOTION SICKNESS WIN!
Joel and scar just did mitosis stop being scared of biology 🙄
What was Mr solidaritygaming doing in that hill and said yes to did he finally get iron?
Aw the silly arm motion I love greeting people with spirit fingers reminds me of that
GOON SQUAD?! (neuron activated)
Famous moment
Oh more famous moment here comes the smallidarity kiss
Love Tim's body language once again the sharp smooth head turn to grian he's like a cartoon character
(what grian mean they are suited and booted he cut this part out I don't remember the other povs 😢)
Leave it to solidaritygaming himself to be the most homoerotic straight man there is of course + Joel is still patting him on the head? + Timsel being cringefail needing to jump multiple times on ONE BLOCK + Joel did NOT need to lean that much he looks like he's powered by springs + Jim's arms always being so tight together. Makes him. Look like. An old granny??? + Joel IMMEDIATELY checking his wrist afterwards like it's a Tuesday and he's on break + homophobic GRIAN + impulse's dad delivery one liner
The more I watch smallidarity kiss the more bizarre and asinine it becomes to me 😀
When did Joel learn to button jump (he WAS mental for jumping irl irl)
Okay Joel cut out that canary comment why don't you 🙄🙄🙄
WHACK 💀 SHAKE YOUR HANDS REAL FAST 💀💀 JOEL SCREAM #3997 💀💀💀
Fond of Joel's cadence of saying "hello guys!" And "I'm coming in boys!" And "HAHA!" oddly musical
Okay aaaaaaand he dies worst ranking ever good for him the end
Idk if I should liveblog scar next or watch Ren because I've already watched up to skizz + me 'ead 'urts oh well

18 & 29 for the ask game?
18. What’s one of your favorite lines you’ve written in a fic?
oh fuck man this is hard there's so many. uhHH. there's a lot of parts of fta i think are really good, though a lot of them are more than one line. this one mr. wolf is maybe my favorite:
There’s something in the air here that sets my teeth on edge and makes them sharp. It makes my fingers itch. There’s something sticky under my fingernails.
(Pause)
False. It’s good False isn’t here. False and her eyes.
(Pause)
What did Scar say about my eyes, again?
also one from just the other day but for something prosier i am actually really happy with the last line of i bet you never expected me, originally i had a few more lines after this but i cut them and im REALLY happy with the result i just think it hits really good.
He rolls his eyes upwards so he doesn’t have to look at the camera. The studio lights are blinding. “I don’t believe you.”
29. Share a bit from a fic you’ll never post OR from a scene that was cut from an already posted fic.
went digging through the Notesapp Folder where i do all my work and found this bit from a fic that will almost certainly not be properly written but IS pretty fun. if written it would be an au of chuubos marvelous wish-granting engine where instead of a complicated machine theres a hole. in the ground. that you throw diamonds into
“Huh,” Pearl said. “That’s… weird.”
“What’s weird?”
“Have I got pupils?”
Grian blinked. “What?”
“Look,” she said, tugging him around to face her. Her eyes were two flat slates of silver, ringed with white. “Have I got pupils?”
“Nooooo,” Grian said slowly. “Are you… supposed to?”
“Well, I did last time I checked!”
“Grian,” Mumbo hissed anxiously. “You don’t think this is some sort of Wishing Pit side effect, do-"
“Of course not,” Grian said. “The Wishing Pit never has unexpected side effects.”
i also found this bit from the start of. a season 6? 7? fic, which i think was gonna be mostly abt grian and jimmy's first post-evo meeting at mcc? i honestly dont remember most of what i had intended for this one
Xisuma: Heads up, everybody, Scott’s going to be stopping by to hand out invites to the next MCC!
Xisuma: He said he wanted to talk to False, Ren, Cub, and Iskall, but anybody who wants to say hello, feel free to swing by spawn.
Grian glanced up from his phone, eyebrows raised. “Who’s Scott?”
“Oh! I forgot you wouldn’t know,” Mumbo said. “Scott- Smajor is his actual, like, legal name, I think, but everybody calls him Scott, I don’t know why- he runs this big championship event that’s made up of a bunch of little minigames, with lots of people from different worlds competing.”
Grian hummed thoughtfully. “I like minigames,” he said.
“Oh, you’d probably have a grand time, honestly,” Mumbo said. “Too rich for my blood, personally, but Scott had said he was looking for more hermits to play- it was just False and Ren last time. Want to go say hello?”

76
A masked figure sits at the opposite side of the table, their arms by their side, sitting completely still.
"76, we would like to ask some questions."
//cw: implied childhood trauma (not detailed, 76 doesn't believe he's traumatized so he doesn't dwell on it), canon typical violence, swearing, kind of an implied sex joke (it's like one throwaway line)
~
ROUND ONE
[Sounds of shuffling, pacing. 76 appears to be agitated]
76: You let me go right now or I'll kick up a fuss, aight? You've seen what I can do.
The Watcher: We have, and we would be intrigued.
76: mmph… [76 lets out a low growl in frustration]
76: I just have to answer some questions and then you'll let me go, right?
The Watcher: That is not for you, or us, to know.
76: You know things would go a lot easier for all of us if you'd just talk like a normal person.
The Watcher: That's no fun.
~
The Watcher: Do you consider yourself an honest person?
76: A little white lie's never hurt anyone, even if they fuss about it. Conversations are about more than who's right or wrong, I reckon.
The Watcher: What do you like to eat?
76: I usually order takeout. I like to try different restaurants everytime. If I'm not sure I'll just order fast food.
The Watcher: What's your weapon of choice?
76: Usually, my fists are enough. That axe did end up growing on me eventually.
The Watcher: How does it feel to kill someone?
76: It depends on who it is.
The Watcher: Do you prefer cats or dogs?
76: Aren't both great? Most people think I'm more of a dog person but if I had to choose, I think I'd rather have a cat.
The Watcher: What was your childhood like?
76: Pretty normal, I'd say? It's not like it was perfect but I'm not traumatized or anything.
The Watcher: Do you have any regrets?
76: Um… I wish I hadn't died? I think that's pretty bloody obvious.
The Watcher: We were expecting a more… specific answer.
76: Am I being graded on this now?
The Watcher: We don't believe you're lying, but we don't think you're telling us the whole truth either.
76: … Fine, fine. I wish I was less reckless. I wish I didn't go through with Ren's dumb plan. Maybe if we were a bit more clever with our own lives then we--
[76 suddenly pauses mid-sentence and falls silent.]
The Watcher: Anything else?
76: You're never satisfied, are you?
[The Watcher remains silent]
76: I, uh… I wish I wasn't so harsh on Jimmy. I think I might've done more harm than good with that one.
[The Watcher chuckles]
76: But at the end of the day, we're all grown ups, aren't we? I'm not responsible for anyone but me. It's a game death we're in.
The Watcher: Do you regret it?
76: I regret a lot of things, I think I've made that clear.
~
ROUND TWO
A masked figure sits at the opposite side of the table, its legs crossed and hands planted comfortably in its lap.
"76, we would like to ask some questions."
~
76: So we meet again. More stupid questions.
The Watcher: Indeed.
76: Did I disappoint you, huh? Not bloody enough? Not gruesome enough?
The Watcher: It was entertaining. Watching you fail.
76: You.. You're a real piece of work, you know that?
[The Watcher remains silent]
~
The Watcher: Do you know how to cook?
76: Uh… Do instant noodles count? Microwave meals? I think I tried to make french toast once but, uh, it didn't turn out well and I felt bad for wasting the bread.
The Watcher: Can you describe your family?
76: Family's not really real, is it? Blood relation doesn't mean much in the long run. I think, growing up, I considered my friends my family.
The Watcher: Tell us of your friends, then.
76: I… Don't really know if there's anything worth mentioning? We were just regular kids. I was always the oldest so I always looked out for everybody. That's how things should be, right?
The Watcher: Do you like your name?
76: It's… Okay? Sometimes I wish it was something cooler but having a simple name makes it easier to get through life, I suppose.
The Watcher: Do you believe in true love? Would you like to get married?
76: God no! I'm not ready for anything like that. I've, uh, "loved" alot of women over the years, I suppose.
The Watcher: Do you have anything you'd want from us?
76: Stop talking in my ear all the bloody time. I know what I'm doing.
The Watcher: Do you like animals?
76: Pets are just another thing you have to take care of, but they're good company.
The Watcher: Do you think you're yourself?
76: No. The ”me“ you have in your head and the ”me“ that I exist within and the ”me“ that exists within the games… They're all pretty different, aren't they?
The Watcher: If the opportunity arises, would you play the game once again?
76: I won't make the same mistakes I did before.
The Watcher: Do you have any regrets?
76: I… wish I talked it out with the boys a bit more. I don't know what got into Grian near the end. Jimmy and, uh, Mumbo too… they would've had to die eventually, but I think I could've done better for them.
The Watcher: Do you regret doing it?
76: I'm not sure if I know what you're talking about.
~~
A masked figure sits at the opposite side of the table, chin resting on her hands with fingers intertwined. She seems to radiate pity and… amusement?
"76, we would like to ask some questions.“
~
ROUND THREE
The Watcher: Can you tell us about your relationship history?
76: W-What kind of question is that? This isn't related to the game.
The Watcher: We're simply curious.
76: I have to answer, don't I?
[The Watcher remains silent]
76: I, uh, I had crushes like any kid did. Once I started wandering around I had a couple of flings here and there. It's not like I'm some clueless little boy. I'm not gonna get all hung up on one girl, I've got tons waiting to crawl all over me back home.
The Watcher: Did you love any of them?
76: Depends on what you mean. I think we all we were just messing around. Things would've gotten messy otherwise.
The Watcher: Do you dislike any of the other participants?
76: Scott and I can't seem to see eye to eye.
The Watcher: How come?
76: He's just, uh… I think we have clashing personalities? I just.. I don't like the way he speaks, I guess. It's nothing deep.
The Watcher: Do you dislike Scott because he takes people you care for away from you?
76: People I care…? I don't know what you mean.
The Watcher: Do you have any regrets?
76: I think we've been over this enough times.
The Watcher: Do you like yourself?
76: I'm a good person. I believe this.
The Watcher: Is there anyone you'd like to see right now?.
76: I'd… like to apologise to Cleo. Again.
The Watcher: If the opportunity arises, would you play the game once again?
76: Please give me one more chance.
The Watcher: What do you think of us?
76: You're annoying.
The Watcher: If you had one wish, what would you ask for?
76: Freedom.
The Watcher: Do you regret it?
76: I'd do it again if I had do.
~
ROUND FOUR
[The sound of laughter echoes through the room.]
A masked figure sits at the opposite side of the table, he leans back carelessly in his chair, clapping his hands in congratulations. He chuckles.
"76, we would like to ask some questions."
~
[The sound of heavy breathing is heard, broken up by hallowed laughter. Sharp inhales and choking giggles. It sounds as if 76 is in pain]
The Watcher: You seem proud of yourself
76: I fucking did it. I finally did it.
The Watcher: Do you find it—
76: Shut up. Just get to the questions.
[The Watcher snickers]
The Watcher: As you wish.
~
The Watcher: Which one of the other participants do you think is most like you?
76: Scott. He GETS me, y'know? It's like we have this mutual understanding. We don't have to explain ourselves to each other, it's brilliant.
The Watcher: What do you do when you're bored?
76: Usually I'd play video games or watch anime. I always find new things to keep myself entertained.
The Watcher: Do you want to go home?
76: I don't have a home.
The Watcher: Do you have any regrets?
76: None.
The Watcher: What's more important to you - someone's personality or their looks?
76: Depends on what you're looking for.
The Watcher: If the opportunity arises, would you play the game once again?
[76 laughs]
The Watcher: If you had $1000 suddenly, what would you spend it on?
76: I think I'd spend it all on things I've wanted for a long time. Games, merchandise, snacks…
The Watcher: What is your weapon of choice?
76: Whatever I can get my hands on.
The Watcher: Do you lie to yourself?
76: What would there be to lie about?
The Watcher: We think there are… feelings you won't allow yourself to admit.
76: If they mattered, I'd take care of them.
The Watcher: Do you miss your King?
76: I don't think you'd let me see him, so I don't see why you're asking.
The Watcher: Do you miss your Soulmate?
76: I said so in the game, didn't I? We've crossed that bridge.
The Watcher: How does it feel, not being needed?
76: Freeing. So fucking freeing.
The Watcher: What makes you feel the need to lie so much to me today?
76: I hate you. I've played your game. I don't owe you shit.
The Watcher: Do you regret it?
76: I'll do whatever I have to. I want to live.
~
NOTE: 76 is a clever and ruthless participant with a strong urge to prove himself, it's no wonder so many have been anchoring for his victory since T████ L███. However, just as a child whose favourite toy is the first to be worn out, we are concerned we may have broken him more than we anticipated.
(( i got a bit carried away LMAO. 76's player is very much one of my favourites to make messed up cus he very much leans into that already. i should mention that this series very vaguely ties into my merc au but only in like a vague ethereal sense. tagging it anyway cus i like having it all in one placeeee ))

youtube
finding ren and stimpy full episodes on youtube is one of the rarest delights on this planet so get at this while you still can.
anyway this is my #1 of all time "Childhood Trauma" television episodes and i rewatched it for the first time last night and i still feel like its visually one of the scariest. everybody remembers the ones with more viscerally disgusting imagery, but i dont feel like the abject psychological terror of this one has ever been acknowledged. maybe its just a "me thing". but staying up late every night for this show to come on as a 7 year old was no time or place to lay this kind of shit out on the line
christ guys can you chill out a little. dial it back a little would ya. this isn't fun anymore. when that stimpy moment hits, its so completely unexpected and obscenely out of character that i remember staying up the rest of that night crying and screaming about it. stimpy turns into the Devil. stimpy, my friend stimpy, my one and only refuge from the sick and twisted world of an abused child, revealed the face of the Devil. Jesus wept. end of days

All is fair in War [Grian/Doc]
Warning:
This is a discontinued and mostly unedited story. If you still wanna read - just for fun - go ahead, but be aware that there most likely won’t be more.
[Click here for my non-abandoned stories]
~*~
Chapter I: Of Plans and Beginnings
The mood in Team Star’s meeting room was at a low point. One of the chairs was empty and would remain that way from now on. It stood out like a thorn.
They had just ‘returned’ Mumbo to the other team and even though he had been mostly useless, his presence did have its upsides. His calm voice and friendly manner had always been helpful. He would always listen to anybody who needed comfort. You could always count on him to be a shoulder you could lean on in these stressful times.
And now he was working for the G-Team again. Now he wouldn’t be held back by any mole duties. He could and most certainly would build insanely amazing machines for them.
It sucked being a team leader in these tiring times. They all looked to Doc for some plan, for some grand ideas… But Doc’s mood was probably worse than all of theirs. He was blaming himself. He should have noticed Mumbo’s strange behaviour. He should have known something was up. In retrospect, Mumbo’s alliance had been so freaking obvious. They needed a new plan to win this war, but so far noone in their little meeting had any winning ideas.
“Couldn’t we try to send in another mole? Someone more capable and loyal, that is”, Impulse suggested into the silence of the room. He was obviously expecting his idea to be shut down, just as all the other ideas had been. At least he didn’t sound motivated at all. It almost hurt Doc to reject his idea, but he still shook his head. He had already thought about it and it seemed impossible.
“The neutral Hermits really don’t want to get involved in this mess. Not that I blame them. They won’t take sides. “
“Couldn’t we get a G-Team member to join us?” Xisuma looked around, probably thinking about the options they had, if they were to follow his idea.
Doc was also lost in thought. Who would be an easy prey? Who could the get? The G-Team was a pretty loyal bunch. And their leader’s charisma only seemed to make them closer. His eyes finally stopped at Impulse. “You and Tango are pretty close, aren’t you? Couldn’t you get him to join our side? Let your charm play a little and remind him of your years of friendship...”
Impulse huffed in annoyance. “You think I haven’t tried that already? I wanted him on our team. I pleaded for him to join us, but no, he and Grian are in this together up until the end he said. That fucking idiot. He also tried to get me to join them… I think me and Tango are at a stalemate. None of us will budge. I won’t try again.”
More silence followed, everybody lost in their thought, desperately trying to come up with a new idea. Anything.
“Couldn’t you get one of the girls, False?”
False looked up at Ren and shrugged. “I don’t think so… I could try, but Cleo wouldn’t leave Joe. Well not for me at least. And Joe and Grian… They have this weird treaty. Joe will stick with him and that means so will Cleo. I could try Stress, but I think she won’t turn on them. Once she picks a side she’s pretty loyal. So don’t get your hopes up. There is no girl power that will magically hand us a spy.”
“That leaves only Iskall, right? Is there any way he would turn?”, Doc asked, pondering, but already knowing the answer himself. He just needed someone to confirm his thoughts to make sure he didn’t miss anything.
“Not a chance. Especially now that his remaining Architech friend has joined them. And he and Stress would never oppose one another. They’ve been pretty close friends. They are a pretty tight bunch… like, dude… We’d never betray you, Doc. And they’d follow Grian to the end of the world if necessary. I mean, look at their name. It’s all about the little Gremlin.” Ren’s answer got a round of nods.
It was just an impossible task. There was no way they’d get more members to join their team – spy or not. Maybe he really should try talking to some of the neutral Hermits once more. Maybe at least one of them could be convinced to join in. But then again, it would be a huge waste of time if he failed. Time he could spend on one of their redstone contraptions.
So what if they didn’t have enough man-power? It was about quality after all. And he and Impulse had more than enough redstone knowledge. Between the both of them they could explode the whole server if they chose to. Who cared about the G-Team now having both Iskall and Mumbo. They were quite good, but not ruthless enough.
Already planning his next machine, Doc almost didn’t hear Wels quiet voice, speaking up for the first time. “So~o… What about Grian?”
Doc looked at him, feeling as confused as most of his teammates looked. “What do you mean? What’s up with him?”
“Well we ruled everybody out except for Grian. We could get him to our side. He is the most obvious candidate after all.”
Wels looked pretty serious, but Doc couldn’t help it. He burst out laughing, Ren next to him following soon. False let out a giggle and even Xisuma and Impulse seemed to be amused at the idea.
“It’s his team, Wels”, Doc finally answered, shaking his head in amusement.
“That doesn’t mean he wouldn’t betray them if the circumstances were right. I’m serious, guys. It would be the best thing to happen. He keeps the team together. He motivates them. Without him they’d fall into utter chaos. His betrayal would hit them so hard, I don’t think they could recover.”
“That sounds pretty nice in theory and all that, my dude.” Ren shook his head. “but he won’t betray his own team. He recruited most of them himself. Oh, and he also has a huge grudge against me and Doc. Our prank killed him after all. There is no way...”
There was a glint in Wels’ eyes as he interrupted Ren. “What if I told you I knew a way? I can’t guarantee it 100 percent of course. Such things are hard to pull off. I’d say chances are more like 50 percent. But if we pull this off...”
“We’d win the war,” Doc finished, a thoughtful expression on his face This sounded too good to be true. A way to get Grian to their side. A way to break the G-Team apart, to shatter their alliance. He’d never thought about the possibility. And it still sounded like a crazy idea. He didn’t dare to get too hopeful. “Now, do tell. How are we supposed to manage that?”
Wels smiled. “The way to get him is through his heart. You know how he is. His emotions control his actions.” He paused to look at his teammates. At their questioning faces he finally continued. “I can’t be the only one who noticed he has a crush on a certain Team Star member, am I?”
All eyes turned to look at False who raised her eyebrows and shrugged. “I never noticed anything. We did a prank together, but… Well, he never treated me any different than the other girls.”
“Of course he didn’t. He obviously doesn’t swing that way”, Wels corrected their false assumptions.
The room erupted in shocked murmurs.
“Who is it?”
“He’s gay?!”
“If he was gay, he’d like Mumbo or Iskall, not one of us”, Doc finally stated, raising his voice, to silence the others. He was getting a little annoyed at the chaos his meeting had erupted into. He really had to ‘thank’ Wels later for derailing them so much. Said Hermit huffed at him, eyes gleefully sparkling.
“Funny you’d say that, Doc, seeing that you are his heart’s desire.”
The room was abruptly plunged into silence. Doc’s brained stopped working for a moment, his eyes opening wide in shock, mouth hanging open. It would have been funny, if their situation hadn’t been so serious.
“No way, my dude.” Ren finally broke the silence, laughing with a hint of uncertainty. “Have you seen Grian around Doc? He’s scared shitless, no offence, Doc, but you are not easy to get to know.”
Doc shrugged at the apology. He knew all too well that new people on the server tended to be scared of him until they got to see another side of him. That was possibly the curse of being a half creeper. Well… That and sometimes he was rather rude. And the way Grian looked at him last time? There was just no way. His gaze had held no love, not even a smidgen. Granted, Doc had been pointing a trident at his face, but still…
Wels seemed to think differently. “He isn’t scared so much as he is nervous. Haven’t you all noticed? He hasn’t been nervous around any of us for a while now. Only around Doc. His voice gets higher, his eyes go all wide, he starts sweating… It’s a miracle he can get out coherent sentences when he’s talking to Doc. The ways he’s looking at Doc, when he thinks no one is watching...” Wels looked at Doc intensely. Doc could feel all of their eyes on him. “He’s craving your attention. I say throw him a bone and see how far you can go.”
Doc sighed in annoyance. This idea sounded plain stupid. He would have noticed if Grian liked him. Someone so overly emotional would never be able to hide a crush. And Doc was rather observant. Sure, he didn’t interact with Grian that often, but still…
He looked around. His team was eyeing him expectantly. He had to decide now and he knew they would accept his decision, no matter what it would be.
He didn’t think Grian liked him. He didn’t think a plan like that could work even if it were the case. He didn’t think Grian could be turned away from his team, but…
“I trust you, Wels. And while I have a feeling it won’t work, I’ll still try.”
Wels whole face lit up in excitement.
“You’ll try to get him to our side?”
“I’ll flirt a little. If he doesn’t respond to it within a week, we’ll drop the plan and won’t bring it up ever again.”
Wels shrugged. “He will take the bait. I’m sure.”
“If that’s the case...” Doc paused, rubbing his forehead. He felt tired and was already developing a migraine. “If he’s applicable to my… charm, I’ll put my full attention into this plan. Just don’t get your hopes up too high. I wouldn’t say flirting is one of my strength. Building some war machines would be easier.”
His answer got a laugh out of Ren and he slung his arm over Doc’s shoulders.
“Doc, my man. The Ren diggidy dog can help you with that. I’ll teach you the art of seduction. He won’t be able to resist you. I’m gonna turn you into a true playboy.”
Doc snorted in amusement. Well, at least someone would be having fun during this mess. He sure as hell wouldn’t enjoy toying with someone’s emotions. But well… All was fair in love and war.
“Let’s get started Ren. The rest of you – keep working. I want no one slacking off, while I’m on this wild goose chase.” Everyone nodded and Ren gave him a mock-salute.
This…
This was going to be a disaster.
Chapter II:
Grian walked through the shopping district. He desperately needed more materials for their base and Iskall had given him a long shopping list for some redstone components. Now that Mumbo was with them the machines they built got crazier and crazier each time his friends discussed a new idea. And Grian just loved the chaos. He was almost glad Mumbo got caught spying. Being back together on a team with his oldest friend, it was almost perfect.
Grian rounded a corner on his way to the next shop on the list, when he saw Doc entering itrade. What was he doing there? Why didn’t they just send Impulse to get the stuff? Or anybody else? Leaders weren’t supposed to run errand runs… Well capable leaders that is. Grian wasn’t really of much use any more now that most of the building was done.
But Doc? Since the war had started, he’d rarely seen him. According to Mumbo, he had been busy building some amazing machines.
Grian crept closer, looking around the corner through the glass front of the shop. Maybe he’d get an idea what Team Star was planning if he could get a glimpse of the stuff Doc was getting. Well he probably wouldn’t get an idea. He was not the brightest when it came to redstone machinery. But if he told Iskall and Mumbo what those guys bought they’d surley figure it out. He trusted those two completely.
As Grian walked closer he could see Doc rumaging through different chests, but not getting out any items. He was grumbling something to himself, and Grian tried to get a little closer to the entrance to hear something. He leaned on the wall when somewhere in the distance a rocket exploded. Fuck.
Hurriedly he pulled back around the corner, heart beating like crazy. Doc had turned around at the noise. But had he seen Grian? He had been pretty fast to get out of sight, so maybe he hadn’t been discovered.
He waited for a few seconds watching as Cub flew over them, firing another rocket as he whizzed by. That guys timing really sucked. But if Doc hadn’t seen him, Cub flying by probably made him less paranoid and go back to his search.
Slowly Grian looked around the corner again, trying to get a glimpse of Doc in the store. There was nobody. Furrowing his brows Grian crept a little further, searching every corner of the store he could see. Where the hell had Doc disappeared too. As far as he knew Impulse’s store didn’t have a backdoor.
He bend forward a little further, to see the last corner when he felt someone tapping on his shoulders. He was startled so much he stumbled and fell face first into the dirt. There was a low chuckle behind him and Grian froze. He knew that voice. Doc!
Hurriedly Grian turned around, expecting a trident to be pointed at his face. Instead there was a hand in front of him. Hesitantly he took the hand and Doc pulled him to his feet, trying and failing to hide a grin at Grian’s misery.
“You saw anything interesting happening in there or why were you glued to the window like that? Any special offers I should know about?” Doc asked in a slightly mocking tone with a hint of amusement.
“Don’t pretend you don’t know what I was trying to do”, Grian grumbled and lowered his gaze a little in annoyance. That was when he realised that his hand was still being held by Doc. Neither of them had let go. He was holding hands… With Doc. Any other day before this whole war thing had started he would have been ecstatic. Now he hurriedly ripped his hand from the touch.
There was an emotion crossing Doc’s face, way to fast for Grian to pinpoint what it had been exactly. It had looked like disappointment. But that must have been Grian’s imagination or rather wishful thinking. Why would Doc be disappointed about something like that?
“Yeah, yeah alright. I caught you snooping around. It is a little strange though. I would have thought they’d protect their fearless leader a little better and not let you run around all alone. Who knows little red riding hood. There could be a big bad wolf running around here, trying to harm you.” Doc’s voice stayed calm, but as his grin revealed his sharp teeth, Grian was pretty sure there was an underlying threat somewhere.
“I can take care of myself. I’m not some damsel in distress that needs to be protected. I’m their leader for a reason.”
“Oh… I am sure of that. I am also quite sure your battle strength isn’t the reason. But no worries. I’m off duty at the moment. I have some business at my own farms to work on today. I’ve got no time to swallow up Little Red Riding Hood. But the next time we meet you might not get away this lucky.
~*~
A/N: This was one of my real early story. It was supposed to be a long story stretching over all of season 6 and onwards maybe. I still remember some plot points. Like them dating, Doc falling, Grian somehow finding out that it only started because Doc was using him. Them ‘breaking up’ and the whole Hippie Arc basically existing because Grian is mad at Doc and antagonizing him. Both of them being sad about what they lost. Both very much in love. In the end they overcome their differences and get together for real.

Ask game!!
How about 🍃 🎨 📺 for all of the B5 if that's okay?
Thanks for the ask ☺️
Gakushu :
Gakushu's favorite season is autumn 🍂
Nobody knew that this boy likes wind and rain 😯
When he goes to school he loves to watch the leaves fall to the ground
He also likes to kick the leaves that are on the ground
Ren and the other virtuosos even caught him doing that
"Shuu, why are you doing tha-" "YOU DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING ! AND STOP CALLING ME LIKE THAT !"
Gakushu has a lot of hobbies but if he had to choose it would definitely be playing instrument
Especially the guitar 🎸
His father offered him a guitar when he was 12
Gakushu played the guitar like EVERYDAY
His father even regretted for buying it but he thought Gakushu played the guitar very well
Gakushu doesn't really watch series nor animes he thinks they're waste of time
He only watch the news but it's really rare
Ren :
It's obvious that Ren's favorite season is spring 🌸
Blooming flowers and cherry tree, the weather, birds and animals emerging, his birthday, valentine's day... That's why he likes this season
Most of the dates that he plans are on this season
It's not surprising that Ren's favorite hobby is the yoga
He only does it when he's stressed out about something like exams
He once called the other virtuosos to do some yoga together before the exams
They all rejected this ask excepted Koyama
So he and Koyama end up doing yoga together every week
Maybe this is the beginning of a new friendship 🥺
Ren really enjoy watching animes but he prefers to read mangas
Who knows that this man was a real otaku 👀
He really enjoys romance and slice of life animes
But man... he have to hide it to the other virtuosos
You know for the dignity...
Koyama :
Koyama's favorite season is definitely winter ❄️
He doesn't really know why he likes it tough...
Maybe it's his inner child 🤔
If it's snowing, he would go out and would throw snowballs in random area
But hey, he wouldn't do that in front of the virtuosos especially in front of Gakushu
Did you forget about the dignity ?
Surprisingly, Koyama is really good at drawing
Sometimes, he draw random things behind his notebook
Luckily he's sitting at the back of the class so the teacher can't see what he's doing
Ren is the only one who is aware of Koyama's talent
Koyama is a little like Gakushu
He doesn't really watch TV, he prefers to read books
He's really into fantasy and fantastic stories
Recently he had read Harry Potter and he's a big fan of it
He even made a list of which students will be in the Griffondor group
Seo :
This guy's favorite season is arguably summer ☀️
The beach, holidays, parties, ice cream, girls in swimsuit, parties and more parties 🎉
He can't spend summer without doing a single party
It's also his favorite season because he can travel to other countries
Seo also likes to visits his old friends from LA
His friends really likes to make fun of his English accent
Seo : "He'o guys, watcha doin there today" His friends :"..."
Seo's favorite hobby is singing
He adores to sing, but only if he's alone because he's really scared of people opinions
He sings more English song then Japanese one
When the virtuosos wanted to create a music band, he originally wanted to be the singer but you know Shuu decided to be the singer of the group
Obviously, Seo really likes series especially American ones
At first he wasn't a big fan of detective series but Araki showed him some good series about it and now he really enjoys them (everybody say thank you Araki)
Araki :
This guy doesn't really have a favorite season but he had to choose it would be spring or autumn
He thinks that summer is too hot and winter too cold so that's why he hates these two seasons
Araki's favorite hobby is listening to podcasts about police investigations
He doesn't really have a reason for liking it but he just thinks these investigations are interesting
He also have a blog where he's talking about criminals and other stuff
He literally wrote a whole article about an old police investigation for the school newspaper and eventually nobody read it
Except the virtuosos, they only read it to make him happy
I think Araki doesn't like a type of media more than another one, he just watches everything that sounds cool to him !

So I went to the aquarium with my male compatriot (XD) today and I started thinking about the Dad Batch, I’ve mentioned before how Tech in particular would love taking his babies to the aquarium and spending hours there and I have a few more thoughts excuse me.
~
Hunter: Mans is lugging a half dozen Huntlings in this cart/stroller thingy they rented there at the facility that costed an arm and a leg. And he is ready to get the heck out of there. All the people and the smells and the hot lights and his fussy babies; they make the rounds in 30 minutes or less. May or may not stop by the gift shop depending on how exhausted everybody is. May just have one of the Uncles pick the girls up something and he’ll Space Venmo them back. ‘Nuff said.
Wrecker: Loves the aquarium as much as his kiddos!!! He is such a fun dad!! Will sit them up on his shoulders so that they can see everything better and also when they are tired of walking. He doesn’t need to rent one of those strollers! Also, detour to the gift shop is a must!! They’re definitely picking out the cutest plushies. And of course getting snacks there at the little cafe is to be expected. <3
Tech: This brainy pops is reading every single fun fact there is, reading it aloud to his babies whether they understand it or not. He is taking the time to explain everything, taking many photos and saving all of the information on each species to later upload to his database. He very much looks forward to the trip because of how educational and how engaging it all is. Tech would critique the plushies at the gift shop, stating how they are not accurate to the species it is based off of or this one’s missing a certain stripe, etc etc. More than likely he will steer his children in the direction of the aquatic books on hand. And maybe grab a ball cap for himself.
Crosshair: Carries little Asher around on his shoulders as they quietly move from exhibit to exhibit. Asher is quietly marveling at all the wonders around him. Doesn’t miss a beat. Crosshair is relishing in his son’s wonder. It’s a relatively silent experience. Occasionally Crosshair will point something out to Asher, murmuring, “Look Ash, a cowfish.” and smile to himself when Asher makes a little sound of delight from above. Of course they pick a little something up from the gift shop. Probably a cute t-shirt for the little man, or maybe a space jellyfish lava lamp. <3
You know how I always say Crosshair watches his child(ren) like a hawk right well there is one (1) instance where Asher ventured off at the aquarium and it gave Crosshair a real scare. He felt really bad and was pretty sullen for the rest of the day because he felt like he didn’t do his job. He never told Dee this.
Of course the Ramser’ika was perfectly okay when Crosshair found him, staring up wide-eyed at the gigantic dome shark tank. He didn’t do it to be defiant, he’s just such a curious (and stealthy <3) kiddo and will sidle off if given the chance. But he never gets into any trouble. Still though, Crosshair was shaken.

what if. wings of fire au.
Grian is a rainwing, venom and color changing scales fit his vibe. he can also make incredibly accurate bird noises and it’s very impressive
Bdubs is a leafwing. little bit of leafspeak but it’s kinda nothing actually
Etho’s an icewing
I think it would be very funny if Joel was a silkwing, but a rainwing or mudwing works too
Jimmy is a seawing or mudwing
Impulse is a mudwing and so is skizz? they’re the same size and fight over who is the bigwings here skskdjf
Tango’s a skywing or a hivewing
Cleo as a hivewing would be fun? or a leafwing. her leafspeak is better than bdubs’ lol
Scar as a nightwing or sandwing maybe. sandwing because of the desert but him lying about mind reading feels very in chatacter. maybe he’s both, mainly sand but with some nightwing traits? like stars under his wings and green eyes but he also has the tail barb and no nightwing powers idk
Martyn…maybe sea or mud. or an icewing.
Ren is sky or mud probably?
BigB is a mudwing
Pearl is a silkwing maybe?
Lizzie as a hybrid sea/rainwing or as a silkwing could be fun
Mumbo has nightwing vibes in the most non-nightwing way possible idk how to explain. I think he CAN read minds/see the future and knows full well that Scar can’t but he doesn’t say anything because he’s either intimidated or thinks it’s very funny
Who am I forgetting.
Scott. he’s. hrrrrm. methinks a rainwing. I am very unsure on this guy
Gem could be sand or mud? or sky. or silk. or rain. not too sure about her
I think that’s everybody. if I forgor someone tell me skskdjf

Initial Persona 5 (Royal) Thoughts
I got Persona 5 Royal for Switch on launch day and started it immediately.
NOW, five fucking years after its release, I finally have Persona 5 in a format where I can experience it. It’s taken long enough that even the updated release (Royal) is three years old! And given how long these games are, there’s a good chance I’ll be playing it ‘til Christmas or something.
Game Status: I just completed the second of the “Palaces” and am working towards identifying my next target, with my Phantom Thief team now numbering five.
Quick info on my Persona background: I’ve explained this before, but so far I’ve played P3P and P4G already as well as P4DAN and the “Arena” spinoffs. I tried to play P2 Innocent Sin, but I bounced off it pretty hard, so I didn’t get too far. That pretty much scared me away from trying the first game or Eternal Punishment; I guess I understand now why everyone (including Atlus) seems to treat the third game as though it’s where the series began. :P
Initial thoughts on P5R from a newcomer:
When I started out, I strongly suspected that this whole “in media res” opening and the interrogation framing story weren’t present in the original P5. After all, they’re spoiling a bunch of stuff that is otherwise only implied or not yet known at all - showing you the characters that’ll make up your team (implied by the box art but not confirmed), spoiling every single target you’re going after WEEKS before the characters in the game even meet that person, etc. I was surprised to learn that they’ve always been there! I really feel it’d be much better if I wasn’t constantly being spoiled on what my next target’s gonna be all about and sometimes even shown pictures of them. I’m also a simple person who likes seeing narratives gradually escalate in intensity, but now we start out doing a RL heist in the rafters and then we have to step back to invading “mind palaces” where we can expose our identities willy-nilly and it will have zero effect in reality. So I’m like “Wow, this feels REALLY unimportant compared compared to where I need to catch up to.”
“You’re not wrong, Sae. You’re just an asshole.”
Why must every one of these games include a Good Boy who most of the squad treats like utter shit for no fucking reason?! Out of 3, 4, and 5, the guy who came the closest to maybe, kinda-sorta deserving his treatment as “the bitch” of the group was Junpei. But you better back the fuck off Ryuji right now, squad.
Speaking of those two... I both appreciate and resent Morgana in equal measure. He doesn’t seem like a bad person (cat?), and he’s obviously very helpful. He’s even kind of fun/cute at times. He’s the main resource of information for everybody, all the time. He’s also bossy and controlling in a way that made sense for like, Mitsuru in P3, but like... why must we dance to his every whim constantly? Why must our every action feel like it’s dictated by him? I understand that the answer is most likely “because somebody has to be an exposition dump and provide tutorials,” but you could do the tutorials JUST via the pop-up windows. Morgana feels like the the puppet master and true leader of the group. Protag/Ren is a figurehead who is dancing to his tune. They should’ve done like P3 and just said “Protag/Ren is the field leader for combat and exploration, but MORGANA is the actual leader who makes decisions and oversees plans.” But no, they had to put it all on Ren despite any evidence for that at this point. Which is irksome to me. ................ But hey, at least Morgana isn’t a repeat of Teddy or something, which I admit was my initial fear when I saw the “odd-looking mascot character who we first encounter in the other world and is somehow warped by it.”
He means Morgana, right?
Ann just... doesn’t really stand out to me. I guess this series already has a habit of repeating character traits and personalities, and there’s only so many tropes you can smoosh together (plus there are undoubtedly characters that I never even met), but Ann still feels like she’s not much of a unique person yet. There are elements of Yukiko (P4) and Lisa (P2) and Rise (P4) in there, but I’m still not feeling like I know her as herself yet, if that makes sense? This is the kind of thing where the individual bonding levels will probably fill in the gaps. At least she’s likable enough for the person she is right now. And hey, I found her efforts to deceive/avoid Yusuke during the second arc to be legit hilarious.
Yusuke? Him, I like. He seems distinctive from any characters I’ve met before in this series. Of course, I might just be ignorant of someone similar from P2EP or P1, but my limited experience finds him to be unique and generally likable.
The fact that it took MONTHS for anyone to ask Ren why he has a criminal record and what his side of the story is feels pretty insensitive to him. But the way Sojiro never cares ONCE to hear what happened, just shits all over you constantly and treats you like a little piece of crap and distrusts you non-stop and only softens at all when you start working for him for free? Yeah, FUCK Sojiro. I said it.

I hope you are having a great week and a beautiful day or night so far Ren! I just wanted to say I love your writing, it always cheers me up! I wanted to share a small ficlet inspired by the lovely dream I had featuring everyone’s favorite Subway Bosses as a fluffy thank you! I’ll share in batches because I scribbled way more than I thought I would eep!
Pt1
[claps] So, picture this- you’re in the city about the attend a grand party- everybody who’s anybody will be there! I couldn’t say what it was for, but everyone was dressed to the nines! There was glitz and glam oh it makes your eyes sparkle to see it! Is it because the venue is the Nimbasa City Gym? Who knows, but the proprietress really knows how to make the atmosphere positively electrifying! Ah, but you need to get dressed for the occasion! Did you forget that you were invited!? You find yourself rushing to the gala only to poke your head through the doors, only to find you’re in your work attire, only to run a few short blocks away to the cute loft you live in above the salon and flower shop. You don’t want to get lost in the after work crowds on the subway so you keep a hurried pace. You do this about two maybe three times and on the third return, your shoes! You’re wearing the wrong shoes and it’s the wrong dress and you’re about to cry as you look down you must be so late by now! Maybe this was a bad idea, maybe it’s too late to show up. Your eyes begin to well up, and as you turn to bolt from the venue a surprised voice calls out as you feel a gloved hand grasp yours, “There you are! I was beginning to worry you wouldn’t show, he’s verrry excited to see..-” Emmet’s voice trailed off as you turned to meet the Subway Boss’s gaze with tearful eyes. Oh, he was a sight coat in hand in an impossibly pristine suit- and taller than you expected, or remembered? How does he manage to keep whatever he wears so clean? Why was he here? That’s right, you’re in Nimbasa why wouldn’t he be here and why is your memory so foggy? Before you can utter a broken response he points out with a subdued smile, “You’re crying! Why ever for?” You let out a hiccup as you bow your head and squeeze your eyes shut, your free hand meeting your nose. He follows your lead and looking down at your scuffed work shoes he’s quick to pick up on the mix-up, “Is it your shoes? There’s no need to cry, we have plenty of time! Elesa likes to have fun early.” He squeezed your hand gently at the last word. Was he fibbing to make you feel better? There’s no one in the city with a better mastery of time as this man or his brother. Whatever it was, his gentle voice and soft smile were a comfort as you nodded and wiped your tears away in embarrassment. As your heart begins to steady you take a breath to ground yourself and feel another gentle squeeze of your hand as Emmet chimes, “Are you ready for departure? I am Emmet, lead the way and I’ll make sure we make it safely to your destination!”

I will comment more on the last part but for now omg

getting to spend a nice quiet day back at the house before i gotta get everything packed for blueberry is super nice, won't lie! thank arc for delibird day. kevin's already passed out from the edible he took earlier lmao.
but jacques managed to help me deep clean the house again as soon as i got back, and while i'm gone, he and mads promised that they're gonna try to get into and clean out my parent's old bedroom that's been locked up for years at this point. maybe...maybe in time, i'll be able to have people over, and it'll be fun, i think!! zapapico doesn't have much, but i can already think of so many places i'd wanna show off :)
hopefully everybody's delibird day is going great otherwise!!!
[picture: ren currently cozy on their couch, flashing a piece sign at the camera. bouton appears to be sitting on top of the couch and smiling, while kevin appears to be sleeping on ren's shoulder. lydia can be seen in the background, playing a game on her phone with a hawlucha in her lap playing along. the house is very clean looking, though barebones decoration-wise
another picture is shown from a different spot: what appears to be jacques setting up something that looks like a LAN party configuration for a couple of video game systems. lulu can be seen carrying a few things to help jacques, and soba the furret seems to be just going around the floor.
the last picture shows coriander the ferrothorn, asleep and snuggling what appears to be a giant orthworm plush in the big plant bed that ren's set up for her.]

Yeah I'm sharing some nice memories!!
So like, as far as I can remember, we hit it off during early 3rd Life. Like, just hanging out in the desert with Ren and we clicked. Ready to cause chaos and follow Ren's lead.
I don't think we got together until after Last Life, but even before that we were really close after meeting :D
Me and Skizz were the two strongest soldiers of the army (no offense to the rest, but BigB was more traps, and Ren/Martyn were the leaders), and because redstone had a habit of getting glitched, I had to resort to more tridintal styles of fighting. Skizz helped me train a bit, because he was very good at it.
After Last Life, all of Dogwarts basically decided to run away to our own world, which is where I think me n Skizz got together!! It was basically a little recreation of Dogwarts, with all the things we wanted but couldn't make during a death game. Despite everybody having our own rooms, it was more common for us to sleep in somebody else's room because we didn't want to be alone!
I don't remember how we got together, but I do remember that we started using flower symbolism to just kinda show we cared.
We ended up spontaneously getting married during Limited Life, honestly I think we were just bored. No other reason, we were just really bored. Anyways, we didn't have a lot of gold, because it was needed for traps, so we instead used som flower petals! The flowers as far as I can tell, were bluebonnets, zinnias, and maybe some yucca flowers? Idk for sure, those are just the flowers I look at and having Emotions about.
Less happy thing, but those flowers then grew on Skizz's grave, so idk what to think about that :/
Honestly, we were just kinda vibing! I know at some point the Runaway Watchers (fuck 'em) decided to basically create code children based on curses/parings from the Life games (or a similar reason, all I know is that Jimmy had a canary hybrid following him around), and Skizz and me got Holly! But my kids are a ramble for a different time
I also just kinda called him my husband or my partner even thought we were a qpr, simply because I was not explaining things <3 (also it was easier to say and technically correct because we got married)
Uh, this ended up long, thank you for little me sharing some mems! - Voidling Anon
Don't worry about things being long. I love reading through long messages. i'm the guy who constantly sends essays about stupid shit to my friends over text and I love it when my friends send me back things just as long so i had fun reading everything.
I get ya with the calling a qpr your partner/husband rather than explaining things. I did that all the time before and hell I still do it now. It's just so much easier and fuck its just more fun to say husband/wife/partner. Sounds real nice and official. Actually fuck I technically have a husband if you count my stupid joke discord wedding I organized in one night for a running bit. Me and my stupid cowboy joke which spiraled out of control certainly is something I will never live down in that friend group...
Aghgh I'm getting off topic!! you and Skizz sound so sweet! Kinda makes me wish I remembered you two more clearly but I uhh cannot get into my mess with the life series fr. its so confusing... But eh that's what happens when you fuck around and find out (<- has six kintypes from the life series somehow)
Anyway thanks for sharing mate! Good morning, hope you have a good day today -za
