Behind you

- Tate langdon x fem!reader ⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚

Thinking about writing some sad stuff. I love vagina commercials. Anyway this is just gonna be tate bein gross. (Kinda like divinelyruled's 'tate bein horny n gross' but there's no lube and he's watching you 😉😉

Tw: masturbation obvi, stalker type shit, some blood. Just a lil bit tho. And suggestive stuff but I mean that's not really a surprise?? 😭

S: tate likes watching u shower

Tate stood infront of the mirror, looking at his face as he began to see visions again. His eyes tricked him into seeing blood.. seeping down from his hair, dripping all over the sink... tates breathing quickened, and he began to panic. He still didn't have a good way of handling himself besides jerking off.. not that it was bad. He liked the euphoria.. the pleasure. Made 'm feel good.

- back to you -

You were on your bed, the velvet pillow propped under you as you began to kick your feet listening to the song. Coward - warthog. You liked the funky beat.. the rhythm. Your head bobbed, your mouth lip singing to the lyrics. You turned up your iPod, sighing with the freedom you now had. With your parents just moving it put you in a wonderful place. A place for opportunity. That's what your mom would say at least.

Not that you cared. You liked the 'murder house'. It was nice.. comfy. Your style too. You were always called emo, grunge, freakish.. and it was all because you had style? How disappointing. It made you wince. You hated thinking about how people hated you. You didn't even understand why either.. but, whatever. You were cool? What was stopping you from being the best version of yourself?

So, to keep yourself from rotting in boredom, you thought about taking a shower. Maybe even a bubble bath... that'd be too annoying to clean up though. So, shower. You turned off your iPod, getting out of bed as you adjusted your camisole. You began to walk, the creak of the floorboards giving you some accompaniment.

Tate was still having his minor breakdown in the mirror, but once he heard you approaching he held himself together. He was invisible to you. He never showed himself, but he of course knew who you were. He had his fair share of watching you sleep.. he may or may not have had a chunk of your hair, but that was besides the point. Tate backed up to the wall, giving you space to walk in.

Your feet hit the cold tile, and you face the mirror, looking at yourself, catching a glimpse of something behind you. Naturally, you looked, but there was nothing. You turned back, telling yourself it was just paranoia. The blinds were closed... it was pretty late but no one could see in. That's what you thought at least.

With that, you closed the bathroom door, making it the seal to tates accompaniment with you in the bathroom. Not that he didn't like it.. he loved it actually. He liked watching you study your facial features. Humming stupid lyrics.. he used to do that too. Before he died.

He sighed, watching you. He admired your every move. He loved you. It was true love. You'd like him. He knew it. He just needed time to.. prepare himself. Everyone always had a different reaction to him. But.. it never seemed to be happy. That was his goal with you. You were his little test subject. Not a puppet.. he couldn't control you. But he would.

His eyes watched your finger tips go to the hem of your camisole, it hugging your body tight as you pulled it up, showing your back in all glory. He looked in the mirror, admiring your chest. Once it was pulled of your head, his eyes were practically glued to your tits. He licked his lips involuntarily, feeling one of many sparks of arousal from you.

You began to pull your shorts down, not thinking anything of it. It was practically anything. Your mind was just stuck on what body wash you'd use. Marshmallow? Rosey..? Coconut? Pineapple would've been nice. You still didn't understand why that hadn't been made yet. But, either way, your mind traveled relevant things while you pulled your panties down, placing your clothes on the counter. You placed them away from the sink, avoiding any accidents.

Tate watched you walk over to the bathtub, watching your hips move perfectly. God... you made him almost twitch. His hand went to clutch his bulge, and he watched as you bent over slightly to turn the shower on, sticking your hand in to make sure it's warm. Even the slightest movements made him melt. He was so obsessed with you..

Your hand stuck in the water, goosebumps appearing on your skin from the coldness. You moved on your heel, waiting for the water to heat up. This old shower was horrible. Outrageous even. You hated having to wait so long for it, but thankfully the water heated up faster.

You stepped in, pulling the curtain forward as you looked down at your feet, your hair dampening. Soon, it got wet, and it almost looked like silk. You played with it for a moment, but you then turned to the options of body wash and just chose coconut. It was simple enough, plus it was summer. It was a summer scent, and quite relevant.

Tate had eventually moved his hands in his pants, his rough calloused palms moving up and down his shaft. Tate had moved to the side of the tub, just to get a good view. He watched you wash your body.. nice and slow in the right areas. His heart almost burst seeing your soapy body.. he wanted to fuck you so hard.. till you couldn't think. Till the only thing you cared about was his dick.

It was a shame you didn't even know who he was. But even not knowing, you sensed something behind you and where it could've just been chills you turned around quickly. But, of course, nothing. You decided to be a bit more quicker, avoiding closing your eyes from childhood fears. It could've been anything. Monsters were real. Just, they were human monsters. Like tate.

But, tate was a little disappointed. He wanted to scare you. To scar you for life. It wasn't like you had much time anyway. It was all he thought about. Blood.. carnage.. sex. Just the slightest thought of blood was a major turn on for tate. Imagining you covered in it made his cock almost feel too hot. Regardless, he continued stroking his shaft, stopping when there was too much stimulation.

While you had the idea of a short shower it wouldn't hurt to just touch yourself a little.. so when your hand slipped down to wash your thighs, you rubbed your clit with the soapy bubbles, gasping almost in the feel. It had been awhile since you touched yourself, but you sure did miss it. You bit down on your lip, your finger tip moving fast against your sensitive bud.

Tate soon realized what you were doing and his pace grew as his head threw back in pleasure. Even with the harshness of his speed he loved it. Watching the water cascade down your body make his climax come ever so slightly closer.

Your hand rubbed in between your thighs, but you eventually took it out sighing. Your parents were home.. what if they heard you? You couldn't do that. And with the paranoia growing you moved onto washing your hair. You lathered it, taking the time to brush it when there was a tangle. Once your hair was silky again, you turned off the water, immediately alarming tate. He had been so close he had closed his eyes, but now they were open, and he continued to touch himself.

He moved a little so he could see you better and his eyes watched as you stepped out of the tub. You had to have been some sort of godess.. so beautiful. He'd do anything to bury his face in your chest. He just wanted to make you feel good... that was all.

Tate thought of the most unholy things as you walked back to the mirror, being careful to not slip. You got a towel out and rubbed the steam off the mirror and began to dry off. You just stared at yourself. Your head turned every so often, but it was just because you felt off. So off..

And that was when tate finally finished. It wasn't much, he jerked off a lot so there wasn't much to dispose. But, his thoughts about blood and gore all washed away. His head went back as he panted, finally feeling the humidity to the room getting to him. He sighed watching you get dressed once more.

He really wanted to rip that off of you..

And while he watched, he pulled his hands out of his pants and walked over to you, standing right behind you.

that WHO in no longer u oh my GOD

YESSSS

Like, yeah, Odysseus is like "Yandere" (joking but also not) because kills all who even go near Penelope and Telemachus and he's very protective of them AND jealous.

But I think this "WHO?!" is also a desperate plea as to who is this dangerous man who is near his wife? A warlord? A conquerer? A man who would not even care about Penelope for who she is and mistreats her?

Because even in the Odyssey, Odysseus asks about Penelope to his mother.

Tell me of the wife I married. What are her thoughts and plans? Is she still there with our son, keeping watch on everything? Or has she been married to the finest of Achaeans?

(Book 11, Johnston)

There's not even much resentment in his question. There could be but Narrator does not say. The use of "the finest of Achaeans" almost is a "Did she at least marry the best man? Did she at least marry a GOOD man?"

In "No Longer You", when he hears of this dangerous man NEAR his wife, he is SCARED. It could be jealousy but I feel it's more of concern. As it is in the Odyssey.

"I understand if she would remarry, it pains me but I did tell her that when Telemachus finally grows his beard, she could. I will love her always but is she at least happy? Is she safe?"

And she's not safe. She's not happy. He is terrified.

Psst. The reason why My Odysseus takes a long time to grow his beard is because of that line. He's hoping that his son will take after him and take forever to grow a beard like he did (as he doesn't really have one even when he first leaves for Troy) because he would try forever to get home. Penelope even teases him that he still doesn't have one so that's a silly request and that's the point. "I will never stop trying to come back to you. He and I will likely remain beardless forever." (it's a little funky for him when he finally grows one by the end of Troy. He's thinking "...Shit. Telemachus, stay baby-faced for your dad please.")

ANYWAYS.

I mean we all know that these two are obsessed with each other in the Odyssey and in Epic. They are likeminded and are so integral to who they are. They mean everything to one another. I think Odysseus genuinely does want Penelope happy. As even in the Odyssey with him simply asking for another bed, shows how much he loves and respects her. He could've been like "get in it" even though she had rejected him at first but he LISTENS BECAUSE HE LOVES HER. Only breaking down into a sobbing mess when he believes she destroyed their bed.

"Heaven made you as you are, but for sheer obstinacy you put all the rest of your sex in the shade. No other wife could have steeled herself to keep so long out of the arms of a husband she had just got back after nineteen years of misadventure. Well, nurse, make a bed for me to sleep alone in. For my wife's heart is just about as hard as iron."

(Book 23, Rieu)

Please note that this is his attempt to insult her in a way and yet he still talks about her being from Heaven 👀 SIMP

But even though he's deeply hurt by her rejection (poor guy would've probably sobbed himself to sleep) He still asks for another bed. After sleeping on the floor and in the dirt since he's been on Ithaca, refusing beds unless it's his own marriage bed, he takes her 'no' because he values her happiness and comfort over his own. He takes a lesser bed so she can still sleep in their own luxurious one.

I mean we know how fucking awful the suitors are. Hold Them Down is a disturbing song. (as it should be. As they are not good men) He does not even know how bad these men are yet. If his future self could speak with his past self, he'd probably be like "Yeah, don't worry about the guy who kills a bunch of people, they had it coming. ;) " or something.

That "WHO?!" is a mix of jealousy AND fear.

#I'm sorry y'all I'm so exhausted as I've had a lot of shit happen and oof #so this is messy but I hope I got my point across lol #epic the musical #epic the underworld saga #Mad rambles #shot by odysseus #no longer you #my headcanons #ask #anon #penelope #odysseus #odypen #essay

NOW THAT ACADEMY!KAVEH AND ACADEMY!AYATO ARE OUT. CAN WE GET SOME CRUMBS ON THEM (Maybe even academy!thoma/ayato crumbs if ur feeling real funky 🤲)

third year - kaveh:

i've said this before, but kaveh was supposed to be on the candidates for valedictorian's list but fell out due to a recent drop in his grades

still, a lot of people look up at him, so he continues to act as if he's got everything together and he's not actually a second away from a breakdown

probably one of the few third years who don't beef with their junior harem members. he's especially fond of the first-years because he sort of pities them for entering into this highly competitve school (and he wishes that their dreams don't get crushed too soon).

on that note, he's quick to invite you and whatever first-year you're with and buy you guys free food.

has his group of friends, which is haitham, cyno, and nari. haitham likes to bring up the fact that it's a bit sad for a third-year to be hanging out with only second-years.

has little contact with his mother. he loves her. but. :///

has a habit of latching onto your arm whenever you two walk together. he's not very clingy towards people, but somehow people always see him latching onto you every time you two are together.

a bit childish... or maybe just lacking in physical affection. he immediately melts whenever you pat his head or just give him a hug. beware though, it might be a long time before he lets go of you.

him and haitham play good cop and bad cop whenever you're stuck between the two of them. kaveh's always scolding him for telling you such ridiculous stuff ("you did not get perfect just because he helped you!" "oh please, as if they could do that on their own.") and whatever he says to haitham goes in one ear out the other.

third year - ayato

does not live in the dorms but has his own penthouse because the kamisato also own a portion of the entertainment distict on the island

he's also in charge of said portion, so he's a very busy man balancing education and family business

he's in the tea ceremony club that zhongli's in, because it's quiet there and doesn't have many needless activities. he enjoys good tea and intellectual chatter without having to interact with annoying people

it's very funny to see him in the club though, sipping on his cold boba milk tea while everyone else enjoys their more traditional tea

does not use the public transportation system when travelling to and fro. moves along in his limousine with ayaka and thoma. when he sees you walking on the pavement, the driver pulls up beside and you the windows roll down, revealing the three of them motioning for you to come in

does not enjoy the social gatherings that the academy arranges from time to time, so ayaka is usually accompanied by thoma and forced to do all the socializing for him

however, if you show up, he's quick to dazzle everyone with his pretty face and luxury brand outfit. you know, just to show off in front of you.

kinda sus with thoma. when the two aren't separated by classes, thoma's always walking beside ayato. ayato gets a little handsy? intimate? with him which starts rumors

^ it doesn't help that thoma blushes a lot whenever ayato does that, so a lot of their fans have begun thinking that there may be something between them

a popular rumor is that one of the fans have heard the two of them behind a door, with very strange and suspicious sounds. he had immediately dashed off to excitedly gush about it to the other fans ("ah, thoma, that's too...!" "ayato-sama, please don't move too much or else...!" <- thoma is fixing ayato's hair)

loves pissing off the other harem members, whether it be hogging you or just verbal warfare, which is dangerous, as most of these people are just as rich and powerful. if he wasn't so obsessed with you, he would've kept up that smiling facade of his and be careful not to tick anyone off. but he's an obsessive jerk, so he takes great pleasure in their irritation

^ thoma, fixer that he is, is left to clean up his mess and salvage whatever relationships he can.

Ohhhhhh... Do you know those, "Grow Your Own Crystals" science experiment kits, that came with powders that would grow into different colours? Part of me wants to imagine Kylar and Sydney as kids setting up one of those, some sleepover or another, only for one (unsure which... Both? Hm) to realize once they're grown that they kind of resemble the other's eyes... (<- their brain is childhood/middle school crushes inside)

YES....!!! Very familiar with those kits, my mom loves things like that ehehe... God. That's so cute.

Kylar sleeping over at Sydney's house- they keep themselves busy all night doing crafts & kits like that. When Kylar goes home the next morning he proudly shows his parents what they made kjhgjkghhg!!!

Skip forward some years later, past their falling out, etc... The rediscovery of these crafts (little homegrown crystals, maybe a friendship bracelet, etc.) would certainly be... soured! I think over time, they would've been lost in junk drawers/storage.

Little scenarios for both under the cut — 💗💗

Kylar — My first thought for him in this scenario was: Him tearing the house apart, trying to find... an old family charm. An heirloom of some kind to give PC that would really connect them to his lineage. Among the mess of junk, he stumbles across a funky, amber crystal. His face scrunches up as he picks it up, trying to determine it's worth.

And... oh.

The memories come flooding back. How he and Sydney huddled together at the dinner table. Sydney held the container still while Kylar stirred the water and powder together. After all these years, it was still intact. Unnaturally colored and ugly, but it was so... Sydney. He'd given Kylar the amber one, while Kylar had given him the green one. They'd exchanged their favorite colors, so "whenever you see it, you'll think of me! <3"

It's not worth anything, other than icky nostalgia. He doesn't need Sydney anymore. The only person he needs is his love. They're the only one who actually cares about him. He stashed the gem back into the drawer, slamming it shut.

...He should throw it away or something.

Sydney — Sydney finds it in Sirris's home office. He'd been digging through his father's desk, looking for stationary supplies. That's when he saw it, high up on the bookshelf across the room. A little green crystal, sitting next to Sydney's childhood pottery and crafts. He stood up, walking over and pulling it down to get a better look. It was lighter than he'd remembered. But, to be fair, the last time he'd held it, he was... smaller.

It was hard not to reminisce. He was holding what was quite literally a blast from the past. A physical manifestation of what used to be but was no longer. Back when he and Kylar were inseparable- now forbidden to even interact.

The crystal was strikingly similar to... his eyes. A striking, deep green. He held it up to the light, noting the way it caught the rays. Yeah. Definitely a similar color. In the library, with their limited interactions, Kylar's eyes bore into him like that.

A bittersweet feeling washed over him, twisting his insides as he looked at it. Sydney sighed, before deciding to bring it along with him, back to his room. He could use it as a paperweight, or something. It could also... just sit on his desk. And be a reminder of good memories, right?

#sydney's pov is kinda rushed but its okay ^_^#ask #kylar the loner #sydney the faithful #sydlar #degrees of lewdity #original post🍓💌#my writing📕💌#sydney x kylar

Locked and Coded

Galaxy brain hyper overthink, kind of wildly off base SaNami-tinted (re)interpretation of the Sunny's fridge password.

Now in AO3!! [link]

🍊๑♡๑🍊

When Sanji told Nami the fridge's password, hearts in his eyes and a goofy grin on his face, he told her it was their secret.

She humoured his comments, inwardly thinking she would've figured it out herself eventually, even if he hadn't. She may not use her cat burglar skills quite as often, but they were still top notch. Besides, that password is very typical Sanji, anyone who knew him well enough should be able to figure it out.

7326. Nami - Sanji- Nico Robin.

Naturally, she wasn't surprised that Robin also knew the password.

It's a good thing that the only person who was in any way invested in trying to sneak past that lock, namely their ever-hungry captain, could never piece that together.

One day, Nami was working on her charts in the dining table, and right on cue Sanji swayed by to bring her refreshments. It didn't escape her that the drink and snacks were carefully selected and placed to minimise risk of drops, crumbs, and spills. So thoughtful as always, and it made her smile.

A curious thought floated in her mind as he was twirling away.

"Sanji-kun, if Vivi joined our crew instead of Robin, what would the fridge password be?" she asked, "Or if another woman joined us?"

He stopped, then he looked to her with a perplexed expression and asked back, "Why would it be any different?"

There was an oddly poignant pause that prickled at Nami, but then Sanji had already turned back to the kitchen, and the moment passed.

That was kind of a weird answer, she thought idly, and he didn't even ask her if she was jealous. She shrugged it off, though, and went back to her charts. Their crew was perfect as it were, and he probably meant he never considered anything different.

Except that for days upon days, the subject kept popping back in her mind and wouldn't let her go. It's ridiculous how simple numbers could bother her thoughts so much, and yet there she was, wondering what's so special about the password time and time again.

Determined to get her peace, Nami marched to the kitchen to ask. She'd braced herself for any awkwardness (or even gushing from his part), knowing that there were all sorts of implications coming with her having dwelt on the issue for so long.

Surprisingly, for all his usual stream of sweet words, he was actually quite evasive about this one. It took a lot of wheedling before she managed to get him to giver her answers.

7326. "Nami and Sanji's lock".

Nothing in all the four Blues could have prepared her for that, nor how intensely her feelings reacted to it. She could feel her cheeks burning, and was certain her face had taken the hue of boiled lobster. Every second of silence was punctuated by her heart thudding so hard in her chest, she thought she could feel the reverberation in her fingertips. Her mind raced for something to say, but what does one say in response in this situation?

Something suddenly exploded outside, followed by a lot of yelling. Glad for the interruption, they both rushed to check on whatever havoc had been wreaked on the deck.

Then, even later, she found that Robin was never told the password. Robin had puzzled it out herself. Sanji really had meant it when he said it was their secret.

For weeks after that discovery, Nami couldn't look at that darned lock and the ship's resident cook without blushing (and thankfully, nobody seemed to notice).

🍊๑♡๑🍊

The standard reading for the 7326 password is 73 for Nami, 32 for Sanji, and 26 for Nico Robin (2 is ni, 6 is roku but represents just the "ro" sound here). I reinterpreted the roku as "lock" (rokku) for this story based on this one time I saw this funky splash ad for a Japanese book or event where "goku" was romanised as "gock" in alphabet.

did you let me die in your arms in the time loop?

Since this isn't actually on the writing docket right now, you guys get the bullet point write up of what would've been this fic instead. (Someday I will learn my lesson about not making promises I can't keep while make tumblr fic polls)

(cw for time loop characteristic death, suffering, a brief mentions of suicide)

The Scenario: Dick, Tim, and Damian are investigating some funky magic happenings and end up fighting some magic user with a creepy basement

Dick gets knocked out by a magic spell and when he wakes up, he finds he’s stuck in the creepy basement. There’s a magic circle in the center radiating power; next to it are Tim and Damian, tied up.

The magic explains that since they interfered, the original spell became unstable. If it’s not stopped, it’ll collapse into a magic black hole that will eat all of Gotham.

If Dick wants to stop the spell, he needs to kill one of his brothers.

There is a gun in his hand. (Why is there a gun in his hands? It’s dramatic)

Cue various emotional turmoil (gestures to the post that inspired this). In the end, there’s only one choice Dick can really make even though he hates it.

He shoots Tim, holds him as he bleeds out.

The spell dissipates, but then…

Dick wakes up. He is in the creepy basement. The spell in the center is going haywire. He needs to choose.

Dick kills Tim again, and again, and again.

(He is having a terrible time.)

He kills Damian exactly once. Watching him die is somehow worse than the familiar horror of killing Tim.

(Tim is also angry at him in this loop. In the loops where Tim dies, Damian is shocked and upset, but on a certain level, he also understands. In the loop where Damian dies, Tim feels betrayed.)

He kills the magic user out of frustration in one loop. He can feel the spell growing out of control, eating them up before he wakes up again.

Also, there’s the obligatory loop where Dick kills himself because he just wants it to end.

One loop, Dick doesn’t get up, he pretends to be unconscious. In that loop, the magic user makes Damian kill Tim.

There are more loops. Dick hates the way he’s becoming numb to the horror. The way that it’s getting easier and easier to kill Tim each time.

He kills Tim nearly every time. The thing about being a hero, the hard thing about the situation, is that he needs to make the right choice every time, or at least the least bad one. He doesn’t know what’s causing this loop. What if this loop is the last one? He can’t let Gotham be destroyed. He can’t let a moment of weakness make the last choice he makes the wrong one. So he keeps making the least bad choice even if he’s getting to the point that he’d let Gotham perish if it just meant it was over.

Dick wakes up, not in the creepy basement, but in Wayne manor, in his bed. Tim is sitting by his bedside.

It’s both a relief and terrible. Dick knows that when it counted, he made the wrong choice.

“Good,” Tim says, “You’re awake. Zatana said you’d be fine, but—”

Dick cuts him off. “Damian,” he says.

“He’s down in the cave.”

That’s where they must be keeping the body. “I’m sorry,” he says.

Tim realizes that something’s wrong. “No,” he says. “He’s okay. He’s fine.”

“Alive?” Dick asks.

Tim breathes. “Yes. I can call him. He’ll want to know you’re awake.”

“Please,” Dick says.

It turns out that the timeloop was the result of Dick getting hit by a “mental torture” spell of some sort when they were taking down the mage and it was all in his mind!

(It’s still all in his mind.)

Tim asks about it at some point, what happened. Dick tells him the basics, about how someone had to die. About how he had to choose.

“Did you pick me?” Tim asks.

When Dick looks at Tim, he sees him dead and dying more often than he sees him alive as he is. “Yes,” he says.

“Good,” Tim says.

And then they cuddle. The end.

okay, the other day i watched a playthrough of the emperor's new groove video game for playstation 1. a game which, for various reasons, i have never actually played myself. but i wrote down a lot of things about it that i'd now like to share. this is basically a combination of my own thoughts on the game and a summary of all the insane things that happened in it:

the game begins after kuzco has already been turned into a llama and pacha is saying he can't help unless he builds kuzcotopia somewhere else. in the movie this is the scene which leads into kuzco going off into the jungle by himself, but the game has you start by exploring the general area of the village around pacha's hut, where his kids hang out and teach you the mechanics. kuzco also knows from the beginning that yzma is trying to kill him and encounters her as a boss multiple times in the story.

it's fully voice acted, and this is the first time that j.p. manoux had voiced kuzco. he would go on to voice kuzco in the emperor's new school and in various other projects, and while it would've been nice if they could've gotten david spade for these, i think he does a good job. pacha's voice actor is different from either the movie or the show--it's john goodman in the movie + season 2 of the show, fred tatasciore in s1 of the show, and brian cummings here--but he's not too bad either.

pacha: "don't take the villagers' coins!" kuzco: "the villagers are MY people, so those are MY coins."

tipo: "by pressing your action button, you can smash these red pots" kuzco: "good, i feel like smashing something!"

i'm kind of obsessed with the fact that these sort of standard mechanics that you don't normally think about, like keeping money you found on the ground and destroying people's belongings in order to steal their money and items, are explained in this game by the protagonist being an entitled asshole. also obsessed with tipo encouraging kuzco's destructive behavior.

chaca: "this pad raises the columns to form steps! once they're triggered, you better be quick before they lower again." kuzco: "uh, ever thought of making them stay up for good when you press the pad?" chaca: "uhh... no." kuzco: "don't tell me, you got the brains in the family."

KUZCO DON'T BULLY A CHILD AKJDSFHHDJSKGSG

there's a mechanic where you can continue playing from your last checkpoint after dying as long as you've collected a wampy. what's a wampy? it's the name of the funky looking plushie that kuzco has as a baby in the first movie and then again in kronk's new groove:

the above screenshots are from the emperor's new groove, kronk's new groove, and the video game respectively. this is a bit of a tangent, but something i find interesting is that in the emperor's new school kuzco secretly carries a plushie named wampy around everywhere for comfort and that plushie has the same basic design but completely different colors:

and the purple wampy is never seen in the show, so i can only conclude that kuzco keeps multiple of these plushies that all share the same name. maybe he leaves the purple one at home so it doesn't have to endure the horrors of high school.

anyway, back to the game--every time you collect a wampy kuzco hugs it and says things like "awww, it's my wampyyyy" in a cute little baby talk voice. fucking dork <3

there are several little scenes during the village section of the game where chaca and tipo keep showing up to give tutorials and he just keeps making snarky comments at them and asking why they're there and if they don't have anything better to do.

in one of these scenes, tipo shows up to teach kuzco how to open doors and kuzco just goes "how did you get here so fast?". to which tipo replies that this is a game. another time, when chaca explains to kuzco how the wampy mechanic works, he asks how she knows all this and she goes "i don't know! beats me!"

there's a part where some random villager tells llama kuzco to stay away from his statues and kuzco goes "i'm the emperor! open the door or i'll smash your statue to pieces!"

the guy runs off screaming "DEMON LLAMAAAAA!!" and then tipo suddenly shows up to teach you how to smash the statues. i think chicha may need to keep a closer eye on tipo in the future.

SPEAKING OF CHICHA. SHE'S NOT IN THIS FUCKING GAME. if i were actually playing the game and doing a proper review of it i would automatically have to dock points for the lack of chicha.

at the beginning kuzco breaks some kid's llama bike and then the kid keeps showing up in every single chapter with a new bike and challenging kuzco to races. he somehow manages to show up everywhere from the top of a waterfall to the middle of yzma's roller coaster and never once questions why this llama is such a jerk or why he can even talk. also, toward the end of the game you race him one last time and his bike breaks for the millionth time and he says he learned a valuable lesson. that lesson? that these llama bikes suck and he needs to stop buying them.

kuzco hates being touched so much that anytime a guard, bug, bird, etc touches him he says "no touchy" and then loses health.

at one point kuzco gets turned into a turtle and kronk shows up and asks if he's there to enter the annual village race. he refuses at first but then it turns out kronk has an item that kuzco needs to progress, sooooo you have to have turtle kuzco slide on his back down the hill and try to beat kronk in the race.

kronk is voiced by patrick warburton again btw. eartha kitt also returned as yzma for the game. they both returned for each season of the emperor's new school as well, and i believe eartha kitt in particular loved voicing yzma so much that every time they needed her, right up until her death, she showed up.

kuzco cries if you lose the race against kronk, which is understandable considering that losing means he has to climb up to the top of the hill as a turtle again.

at the end of the village section you have to run from yzma as she throws bombs at kuzco and once you manage to get away, kuzco says "you call yourself an end of level boss, yzma? you're rubbish! toodles!"

after this, kuzco ends up going into the jungle despite pacha's repeated warnings that it's too dangerous. and now instead of chaca and tipo, a talking bug trapped in a spiderweb appears to teach him additional mechanics.

when the jaguars from the movie show up kuzco says "time out" and then the frame freezes while he explains to YOU, the player, what you'll have to do to save him.

during the waterfall section chaca is somehow there AGAIN, at the top of the waterfall in a pink llama pool floatie, and is like "oh wow, another llama tied to a log!" (apparently one showed up the previous week) but does not react at all to her dad also being tied to a log. she just explains to them how this level is gonna work and then leaves.

she pops back up again a little later (still on the waterfall. they stretched this part of the movie out a lot) and calls kuzco "kinda short for a llama".

speaking of the game stretching things out a lot, pacha literally says during the waterfall levels: "this scene was much shorter in the film".

there's a whole other jungle section where kuzco spends an extensive amount of time having been turned into a frog. tipo randomly appears to help again during this section.

there's another race with kronk in an icy area that shows kronk to be an excellent ice skater. i would probably be terrible at this if i played the game.

when they finally get into the city kuzco tells pacha he knows the streets like the back of his hand and pacha replies, "but kuzco, you're a llama, you don't have any hands!"

when they separate and kuzco sneaks on his own into the palace, he gets confronted by a naked guy who's conveniently being covered up by a peacock and says the peacocks stole his clothes. he's blocking a path we need to go through so we are forced to find his underwear for him. this guy also does not question wtf is up with the talking llama.

when you get him his underwear back he, uh. well. he uses his magic sparkly underwear to fly away:

what is this guy, the incan version of captain underpants? kuzco then says in a deadpan voice, "this has gotta be the weirdest day of my entire life". can't argue with that!

i've gone way too long without mentioning that this game is primarily a platformer, which is a genre i kind of suck at and don't play often, but appears to have a lot of variety in its gameplay that makes it look pretty fun! the races with kronk, the part where you guide pacha and kuzco down the river, the part where you have to run from the jaguars, the stealth sections, and the various parts where kuzco is transformed into non-llama animals all have different types of gameplay to switch it up. the city is also huge and full of puzzle sections.

when kuzco defeats yzma in his throne room and then meets back up with pacha, they have to take the roller coaster down to yzma's lab and there's a level based on this as well. you have to control the roller coaster and turn it at just the right time to collect coins and avoid falling to your death. this looks like it could be a lot of fun to me.

tipo somehow shows up on the roller coaster to give another tutorial and kuzco tells this 6 year old to make him a sandwich and then insults his haircut 😭 kuzco i love you but why are you like this

before the final battle against yzma she says she's gonna drink a potion to turn herself into a hideous monster and rule the empire forever. and kuzco says "are you sure you didn't drink it already, you old bag of bones?"

there's this huge dramatic buildup to her drinking the potion. and then. it turns her into a cat like in the movie. and that's the final boss battle. you have to race against cat yzma to get the last potion to turn back into a human.

just from the video i watched, this race seemed very short and easy and therefore anticlimactic? but idk, maybe the person playing was just really good at it.

the final scene of the game immediately following this is kuzco visiting the village as a human again and we see scenes like kronk playing jump rope with chaca and tipo, the incan captain underpants guy flying around the roof of a house, bucky the squirrel chasing cat yzma, and kuzco + pacha's family all having a dance party while fireworks go off.

again i must reiterate that this game is missing chicha's legendary and iconic presence. my assumption is that since the characters seem to know they're in a video game, she didn't wanna have to help give kuzco tutorials because it would put too much stress on her while pregnant. still, though, it would've been nice to see her in at least the opening or ending sequences.

in conclusion: as i mentioned, i've never played this game, and the main reason for this is that i didn't know it existed when i was a kid--but even if i had i still most likely wouldn't have played it because i didn't care much about the emperor's new groove back then. the only reason i looked up a playthrough of it was because my autism brain suddenly told me i needed to learn about all of the official emperor's new groove media in existence. however, it really does look like fun and the playthrough i watched wasn't even 5 hours long, so now i kind of wanna give it a try someday? the writing is hilarious. not as hilarious as the actual movie, of course, but it was just so bizarre in such a great way and was very faithful to the movie's complete lack of a fourth wall.

also: this game has the best "game over" screen of all time. whenever kuzco dies it literally just plays a clip of the funeral scene from the movie, all the way through the "he ain't getting any deader, back to work!" bit.

#OKAY. here is my way too long post about the emperor's new groove video game for playstation 1 #which i found out is also available on PC. neat!#the emperor's new groove #disney

Hijo for the characterask game

Javert and #8

(A little late but for this ask game!!! Thank you again!)

#8: a thing the fandom does with this character that you despise!

Despise is a strong word! I'll say "confuses me" instead. I talked a little bit about it in my post about fandom Valjean things I dislike-- with the caveat that I don't think any of this is really a big deal, because this small huddle of fandom stuff is a very tiny niche that doesn't have a wide impact, and also it's very normal/natural for people's opinions on characters to change over time, and I know that my *own* opinions have changed over time-- but---

I am confused by all the pro-police stuff in the Javert fandom? XD

I think the main thing that confuses me is why Post-Seine stuff where Javert is "redeemed" usually has Javert returning to his job.

It just makes more sense, thematically and on a character level, for him to resign? The common idea that "redeemed Javert" would go back to arresting people and that this would be a Good Thing always throws me off. Because 'the entire criminal justice system is fundamentally broken, there is a gulf on high, it is immoral to do this' was his whole dramatic realization and all. Plus, even putting aside the anti-police politics of the book, being a cop was clearly not good for Javert's mental health. XD It was making him feel very bad!

I remember once reading a mildly popular fic where a post-seine Javert talks about how he thinks the prison system is fundamentally broken and violent and unjust, and he can never return to his job. And I was like "Wow, this author gets it!" Then I kept reading and it turns out Javert was supposed to be *wrong* in that paragraph, that paragraph was supposed to represent an incorrect pessimistic wrong way of thinking, and the fic was about Javert regaining his faith in the police. It's just very funky! Kinda just like, realizing people view this story in such a radically different way you can't ever vibe with their versions of the characters. People sometimes walk back everything Javert realizes in Derailed as if they're mistakes, instead of positive character development, which feels odd to me. People act as if Jean Valjean is the rare exception to the general rule that Prison Is Awesome And Cool, and that Javert just needs to realize he was wrong about Jean Valjean specifically and nothing else.

I think people often miss that the police are the villains of Javert's story, in the way they're the villains of Jean Valjean's. His family was ripped apart by the criminal justice system before he was even born, he was born in a cage like an animal, and he became an agent of the system that destroyed his childhood because he internalized that institutional abuse as something that he and his family must have deserved. "Is a system that leads to children being born in jails in desperate poverty actually just?" "well of course it is. the baby is a crime baby made of crime. >:("

He's spent his whole life either living in prison or serving as an agent of the prison system; he has no framework for what living outside of serving the carceral system actually looks like. My take is, that poor horrible creature has had enough policework for several lifetimes. If there is a way to be a "good cop," he would've found it by now. Let him rest. Let him find some funky new job.

Also, one or two people have implied in the distant past that I must hate Valvert, but from a Valvert perspective-- I think it's easier to have post-seine Valvert if Javert quits his job. First, it's a dramatic shift in their dynamic and the power level between them; it's a clear sign that Javert has permanently changed. Second: Javert searching for a new job after spending his entire life serving the prison system is just rife for bonding hijinks. You could easily write a scenario where Jean Valjean helps pull strings to find him work as a gardener for Petit-Picpus, but has to help train him for the position or something along those lines, giving them an excuse to interact. Third: I don't think Javert needs to be a cop to be nosy. If you want to write a "casefic"-ish mystery plotline he could be an Angela Lansbury Murder-She-Wrote old lady retiree character solving a mystery out of pure nosiness, without even arresting anyone. Because it would be very funny.

...This has just turned into a ramble about possible Post-Seine hijinks. Anyway the moral is: there isn't really a moral, this is just my petty fandom opinions. But "Javert fics where police are bad" and "Javert fics where police are flawed but ultimately good" are two completely different genres, is my take.

#les mis #ask meme #thanks again!#this is just a funky little ramble #and i dont like positioning myself as an authority over characters

Thinking about Xenagos, but I'll put it under read more (also both Theros book spoilers!)

Thinking about how he was essentially the king of satyrs and eventually ascended as a God but still felt nothing

During most of the story, he fakes most of the positive emotions but mostly only genuinely feels irritation and annoyance, and I wonder if it's because he can't feel what the others feel in the revels

Being a satyr that can't fully be into a revel has to feels ostracizing, everyone having fun and revels being the whole thing satyrs do (to the point that people from outside the valley come to join in) and you can't even loose yourself in them like the others, the satyrs also being known for being in good spirits and just generally being cheery folk, but what happens if you don't feel any of that? It has to feel awful, even if no one was actively excluding you from stuff, your brain sometimes does that for them.

and we don't quite know what happened to make his spark awaken other than he described it as a moment of weakness, was it perhaps a want to be like the others that spiraled into a breakdown after realizing that he is just simply different and cant change it during the Bakkeia, or maybe something else? (I really wish we actually got info about this) was it something to do with hearing he was supposed to be a king, destined for something great but he can't even feel the euphoria like the other satyrs?

And now he's a part of that, part of euphoria they worship and he *still* can't feel it, he's the king of revels and he's still excluded from it all

And when he ascends into godhood it seems like he still cannot feel anything at all, despite ascending through a huge party and emotions probably being at an all time high he's *still* left out of it

The only time he seems to feel (I think) is when he's being literally skewered by an arrow from a goddess that controls the valley he and all the other satyrs live in, which if he didn't use the belief system of Theros it would've killed him most likely

((Which matches his colors of gruul, live fast die

Even faster apparently)

To add on, all the gods are made from belief from the mortals and such, and also seem to reflect their emotions on the domains the gods have, like Erebos and death for example

Erebos is gloomy and tyrannical, which lines up with the plane's thoughts about death

Xenagos becomes the God of revels, and perhaps its because he's still mortal, Elspeth sees an absence of emotions, I kinda wish we got a little bit on insight to what was happening with him during that time

I wonder if he had stayed a God longer if he'd feel the euphoria that the satyrs get from the revels or if he'd be forever numb to it all (a friend of mine described it like how Hera is a goddess of marriage, yet Zeus constantly cheats on her, it feels like a mockery)

I just find him interesting, he's a funky little satyr and I got attached :'3

#mtg #magic the gathering #Xenagos #i have no idea which magic tag actually gets used more #but take thoughts about a character that hasn't been in the magic story since 2014 #and who is also a bit of an awful person #hes awful! but i like characters that are villains most of the time!

Hal and Tim content 🙏. Hal awkwardly dad-ing Robin Tim when Bruce would be a little too cold.

Robin!Tim: is this the ideal dad shaped man I want

Hal: look at this funky lil dude, he has trauma. why did he pick me!?!??

hal, like literally every hero, has daddy issues and usually that doesn't interfere with his life but at the sight of the small and scrawny robin getting chillingly ordered to wait in the other room while batman does whateverthefuck well...he's got a soft spot.

plus the kid is...small. and skittish. a total contrast to how he is in the field, making every move with calculated efficiency and weighted determination. from what hal knows the little third robin is a good kid. eats his vegetables, follows curfew- that sort of thing. not the kind of trouble maker hal had been. but he sees this sad little kid with bug eyes and shifty feet and....

so hal hangs with the kid a few hours. gets a couple snacks, a few sodas and kicks back with the kid. gives him a grand tour and makes a huge show of even the most mundane thing until he gets a sweet little smile and a giggle for his troubles.

hal is surprised by how much he enjoys himself, listening to the kid babble about comic books and other things hal would've noogied one of his friends for liking in highschool. he's...awfully tiny. hal can't help but think that and wonder what batman even feeds the kid.

hal asks and then gets a long-winded tale about nutrition and about how batman doesn't let him eat junk or any processed foods. the kid's talking about the mineral content in water and whole grain when hal's breaking heart just can't take it anymore-

"ya like burgers kid?"

and so several hours later hal and the kid are getting a pretty harsh dressing down from batman who ended his meeting and couldn't find his robin until he checked the teleporter logs and tracked hal and his kid down to a grease spoon diner. the kids head in hanging down. his fingers are coated in salt and oil there's empty fry cartons around them alongside discarded burger wrappers. hal is sipping on his soda and holding a grounding hand on the kid's shoulder because are they seriously getting scolded for getting a bite to eat? has batman SEEN his kid lately?

man if hal didn't like the guy before he definitly didn't now.

at first it'd been an act of rebellion, just him using his free day to entertain a poor abandoned kid. but now hal was just too aware of this small scrawny kid with too big eyes.

hal greets the kid when he sees him, totally ignoring batman looming behind them.

he starts carrying around cookies and granola, little snacks the ring lets him pack away so he can offer the kid a little something something.

it's just to be nice.

until he lands robin in the infirmary for giving him peanuts. something the kid is allergic to.

"kid! why did you eat it?" hal is scratching his head and scared out of his wits as he holds an oxygen mask to that little face. big bambi eyes blinked at him.

"because you gave them to me."

well shit. fuck. fuck. fuck okay alright okay. that was the saddest shit he'd ever heard.

hal doesn't know shit about being an adult but if he's going to be spending time around the kid he's going to have to...get better at some shit. so he gets the basics down first.

he gets the kid's birthday and sets a reminder in his phone. he buys a calender. an actual physical one and circles the date in red pen.

he learns the kid's allergies. asks what his favorite and least favorite foods are. hal makes sure he buys only those things.

he learns about stuff he likes and makes sure the watchtower waiting room has puzzles and playing cards and something called 'wizards and warlocks'.

hal gets comfortable. he starts calling robin by his name whenever he spots him around.

tim. short and cute name for a short and cute kid.

the kid gets more comfortable around hal. opening up and lamenting about the woes of highschool and being a teen vigilante and boy was hal glad to not have been a lantrn and been going through puberty at the same time.

hal likes the kid, grows fond of him.

he's nice company especially when watch tower duty is slow and mind numbingly boring.

during the worst of it hal lists off the constellations he can see from the windows. he needs to keep himself sharp because he promised he'd help tim with learning them. yet another one of batman's impossible standards in his ever growing list of tasks and random skills to have.

it's during one of those instances that he gets his first phone call from the kid.

pretty soon after that hal gets some nice company. nodding, humming, and murming along as the kid describes his day. it's surprsingly...average. yet hal is surprised with how avidly he listens.

until one day there's a strange hitch in the kids breath. it takes a while to get out of him but when he learns hal has to stop himself from flying down and hunting down a few snot nosed punks who thought it'd be funny to pin down a kid half their weight and "joke" about making him suck them all off because they heard he liked boys.

oh hal knows that level of douchery anywhere. hal had never had to deal with that as a kid because he'd been tall and broad and hot shit.

but tim...was small even for a robin.

kids like tim were easy pickings.

so hal gives some (probably bad) advice.

tim gets suspended but he's so happy over the phone hal's grin doesn't die down for the rest of the day.

maybe hal's a denser guy than he thought

because he doesn't figure out why tim starts looking at him with a sparkle in his eye and an awestruck look when ever he sees him. at first he thought the kid viewed him as a sort of cool older brother?

maybe that's what the hugs were for. because Hal was just an all in all swell guy.

the kid asks hal weird questions like his favorite star trek character, his body mass index, whether he knows how to throw a football and if he'd teach tim.

when hal returns from space he finds a handmade -welcome back!- card and a goody bag.

tim asks hal to teach him how to pilot the Justice League fighter jets and hal nearly sheds a tear.

he doesn't notice when other heroes shift from saying 'hey robin is here for you' to 'hey your kid is in the mess hall'

hal gets the kid involved in some hare brained schemes.

the two of them are curled in pain when hal stupidly challenges barry to a hot dog eating contest and drags the kid into it.

its not all bad though.

tim saves his butt when hal accidentally deletes some very important files and he's left sweating and pacing while tim retrieves them.

'shit I majorly owe you one!'

hal does mean it but he's surprised the kid cashes it in so quickly. and for something so simple.

hal has a great time at the ball park with the kid watching the knights get their asses whopped. no wonder tickets had been so cheap.

maybe hal is a blockhead but it takes him finding the father's day card and flowers at his station while other leaguers are whispering and giggling to realize that he's adopted a child.

batman's station has a similar set up but the card is store bought and the flowers aren't as vibrant.

he's also glaring a hole into his monitor.

meanwhile hal is staring dumbly at the set up and wondering what the hell about him the kid thinks is "dad matierial".

character info sheet.

Name. Miles Luis Upshur Ramírez

Name meaning. Miles -- Latin, soldier. Luis -- Spanish, famous warrior or renowned fighter. Upshur -- English, literally just means 'from the upper shire', but the fun fact significance is that Upshur was the middle name of the famous American journalist Bob Woodward. Ramírez -- Spanish, wise / renowned ruler / counselor

Alias.( ses ). Fun Mount Massive nicknames: the Host, the Apostle, the Witness, Little Pig, buddy, etc. As far as actual aliases, he's used various combinations of his four names on fake IDs before -- i.e. Luis Upshur, Miles Ramírez, etc.

two pictures you like of your character.

The money shot, the big cryptid moment, the only third person view we canonically have of Miles:

2. Probably what I consider to be the definitive Oscar-as-Miles photo, one of the things I saw and was instantly assured of my FC choice. It might sound stupid but Oscar is such an irrevocable part of Miles to me. I can't see him any other way, and having such a strong visual representation of him has always been a huge help in making him feel real for all these years:

three headcanons you never told anyone. Disclaimer that I have probably mentioned all of this at some point but it's been seven years of writing this guy and I fear I'm out of completely new material lol

He's never been much of an exercise buff but Miles used to be into running. He had a set circuit when he lived in DC and tried to keep a consistent schedule even when traveling for work. Never got to marathon level but did a lot of 5 and 10Ks, even a half marathon here and there. But it's not something he does anymore largely because there's... really no point. One of the benefits of being possessed and also kinda dead is you don't need to workout! Yaaaaay! Unfortunately without the endorphins and the satisfaction of exertion, running has lost its luster.

Prior to Mount Massive, Miles had a long-term boyfriend from college until they were in their late 20s. The last couple years of it were a tumultuous on-and-off-again relationship that started to deteriorate after he lost his staff reporter job and had to travel more. Prop 8 meant that same sex marriage was off the table, but they talked about engagement and building a serious life together. If Miles hadn't lost his job he probably would've proposed. But, then, if he hadn't lost his job a lot of things would've been different.

Miles is genuinely obsessed with roadside tourist traps -- giant balls of twine and other objects, weird architecture, fake alien sites, that sort of thing. The kitschier the better. If you're roadtripping with him and he spots a funky sign, he's pulling over.

three things your character likes to do in their free time.

Listen to music -- he's almost always got tunes on in the background but will sit down and really get absorbed in an album when he can.

Read -- mostly current events articles, sometimes a good nonfiction book.

Drive -- loves driving around the middle of nowhere to clear his head, even though it's not quite the same without the Jeep (rip).

three people your character loves.

Not technically a person, but the Walrider. Judge him if you want, but after a decade he's accepted that they're fucked up soulmates that were always meant to be <3. It's been a slowburn enemies to lovers journey, but over time he's adapted and stopped hating it for things that weren't really its fault. He's gone from denial to acceptance to tolerance to feeling genuine affection for the Swarm. Maybe it's too complicated to really define as love, but he can't think of a better word.

@mslangermann in some form in all verses always.

People with conviction. People who stand up for themselves and the things they believe in. People who are thoughtful and who care about something bigger than themselves.

two things your character regrets.

Not being a better son and brother before everything went to shit. His life choices and the prideful stubbornness with which he committed to them drove a wedge between himself and his parents, which trickled down into a strained relationship with his sisters. In hindsight, they were just worried about him and only wanted what was best for him -- but he was too absorbed with his career and trying to piece it back together to see that. He regrets arguing with them so much. He regrets not making the most of the time he had when he didn't know it was running out.

Somewhat verse specific, but he very deeply regrets what happened with @mslangermann's husband Blake after Temple Gate. Murkoff picked him out of the wreckage and brought him to another facility -- Miles found him while trying to dig up whatever he could about the cult. Blake was completely catatonic, and probing around in his mind revealed that there was nothing left of him mentally, either. Rather than leave him to suffer in Murkoff's hands, Miles elected to put him out of his misery. And still hasn't told Lynn. He doesn't regret doing it -- truly, there were no options that would have saved Blake -- but he regrets not being honest with her. He also blames himself a bit for not finding him sooner and possibly preventing tragedy.

three phobias your character has.

the dark

confined spaces

heights

my thoughts on heartsteel

I'm going to be honest and say I was expecting a lot more from the song. HS was super hyped up and the teaser was promising (I watched it the first time and I was already singing along. Catchy! It gave me EXO vibes) but when the actual song was finally released, it didn't really hit hard like the other band songs Rito has released.

I had the video up in the background while waiting for the premiere to start as I played so I only got to listen to it the first time, no visuals. When I heard the opening rap, I thought it was K'Sante. It was a bop. Then... the rest of the song was just one big chorus? It felt like another case of Star Walking, where the whole song felt like a buildup to a drop that never happens.

Second time I played the video was when I finished playing so I got to watch properly. Why... does Kayn have such a deep voice? It completely threw me off and apparently, it's meant to be Rhaast singing but the Kayn face doesn't match the voice :( Baekhyun matches Ezreal well, but the voice for Sett is too high for him.

Baekhyun has too much screen time sfdkdjsf He easily overshadows every other member. It's part of the reason why the whole song felt like one continuous chorus.

Notice how I didn't mention K'Sante's voice after properly watching the MV. I genuinely didn't think he was anywhere in the song. When he was singing along in the MV, I thought he was doing it just for the sake of lip-syncing. I had to search up one of those band lyric videos to know who was singing what part. If I didn't, I would've continued thinking he's just... there. He sounds more like Sett or Ezreal toned down in his solo part.

Aside from the voices sounding similar to each other, I was having a hard time distinguishing when another verse would start. It's the same amount of energy all throughout. That's why I said the whole song felt like one chorus. Rise is a great example of good buildup and drops. Ticking Away is also good, more energy and instrumentals jump in when the chorus arrives. MORE also starts with Akali's rap but Evelynn's transition with her slower singing immediately tells the listener than a new verse is entering.

I watched it a third, fourth time. Still didn't vibe with it. Then I started noticing... funky little details.

They definitely put elements of K/DA, True Damage, and Arcane in the music video. Akali's room, Ekko's teleports, True Damage and Arcane scribbles, and the True Damage glitch outro.

At some point, I had a sudden realization that Riot tried to make a male K/DA while also incorporating elements of True Damage. I was expecting a rock song from Heartsteel since the notebook teaser, but I knew it was going to end up more with a K-pop feel when they released the song teaser. Though, that's more because of Rito's direction. Rito in general has been leaning very heavily towards pop-oriented songs and that can be seen even in their recent Worlds songs.

Also... 6 members and only 4 actually sing. Blinks. Coming soon: skinlines with majority of the members not singing.

tl;dr I don't dislike it. I think it's okay. But it's missing the same impact as Rito's existing songs.

mom and i had a bad day at work yesterday and today. she's coping with a british crime drama, coffee, and a donut. i'm coping with my own two donuts (for ruggie lol) and two-way ruggie [reverse] comfort. plus, i know maybe yall are either finishing ur finals or starting ur finals and figure yall could use some comfort ruggie as well.

gn!yuu. might be a bit specific?? i'm a bit attached to ruggie plus he'd be one of the best twst charas at cuddles imo.

another day. another slew of chores from leona done.

normally the extra lunch or spare change found in the lion's pants pockets would've made up for the long hours spent running across campus. but no amount of fresh, hot donuts could make up for the long line at sam's buying up all the good, cheap detergent, the mountains of fresh, "we're back from break" assignments, and some back talk from some burly, ignorant, disrespectful freshmen. and to make matters worse? too many absences from spelldrive club leading to the first practice of the new year being cancelled.

so instead of zipping through the skies on his broom throwing magic spells and practicing his coordination, ruggie drags his feet through the savanaclaw mirror up before heading straight for his dorm room—

"ruggie? you're back early. what happened to spelldrive practice?"

what's the prefect doing here? he thought they'd be off with the two heartslabyul numbskulls chasing after grim or something.

dodging their question, he asked them, "to what do i owe the ramshackle prefect's presence? shouldn't you be burning the queen of hearts statue or chasing after the three stooges and their clumsily-thrown spells? shishishishi!"

they huffed, flopping down onto ruggie's bed returning to their pushed-aside notes.

reading the room, the hyena ran a shaky hand through his sandy hair. he grumbled and shuffled over to their side, "okay. okay. if you must know, leona-san cancelled practice today because some of the beastfolk ran into some trouble with the mirror and haven't made it back to nrc yet." grim's babysitter gave him the side eye making him squirm. he wasn't used to spilling his guts but considering all the help they gave him with chores and school.... he supposed it was all enough to return the favor. ".....and i couldn't finish leona-san's laundry today. sam was out of stock for once of the cheap stuff. on the way back, i ran into some of the dumber beastfolk. could've made it out of there but they were bigger and stronger. one of them used a spell to cancel my unique magic and... well.... yeah...." he refused to look at the magicless student, knowing they stopped their studying to give him their full attention. "and i still have today's homework to do too." by now ruggie was pouting. even his ears were drooping.

they hated seeing him look so small. normally he's the one taunting them and teasing them. trying to pull them out of their funky mood, sleepy mood. constantly reassuring them that things'll work themselves out and to just keep plugging away at their problems until they do. "don't give up. my grandmother always said when someone closes one door, another will open up instead," he'd remind them.

so, instead of teasing ruggie or replying with some snarky comment, the head of ramshackle dorm reached over and gave ruggie's cheeks a good pinch. softly, they said, "laugh with me." they watched his eyes go wide, his ears shoot straight up. ignoring his babblings and a barely comprehensible "what are you doing?" they continued. "you're the one always telling me that each day is completely different from each other and unpredictable. why should today and tomorrow be any different?"

letting go of his cheeks, they sat up and leaned over the beastman's bed into their bag. "i was gonna save these for the next time i had to bribe you or leona." ruggie's ears and nose twitched. "but i think we both need them now. don't you think so? i also have a few hot cocoa mix packets here that i sneaked out of the heartslabyul dorm kitchens. what do you say we go downstairs and make ourselves a cup of cocoa to have with these donuts?"

"i knew making those deals with you in the fall were a good idea, cub!" he softly snickered to himself still too drained to laugh properly. "let's go..... after we cuddle and you spill why you're so glum too. shishishi!" ruggie stood up and tackled his favorite cuddle buddy onto his bed after taking and putting down their box of donuts.

( general headcanons ) ben drowned

sfw - general ben drowned headcanons

╰┈➤ mentions of murder, mentions of blackmail

voice headcanon - animal by neon trees

age 20, birthday july 20th

typically dresses in normal clothes (mostly hoodies, jeans, and flannels) but keeps his link costume under his bed.

he pretty much never gets sent out on field missions. he's always stuck with hacking into security cameras, creating fake ids, obtaining information on victims, etc. because of this, he's pretty much no more than an urban legend to the public.

he probably has the lowest (killing) body count out of all the killers. he is never asked to murder, so he never feels the need to.

the most charismatic and outgoing out of the killers. he tries his best to get along with everyone and usually succeeds.

due to his endless access to everyone's search history, he typically blackmails his allies to get what he wants. not because he wishes ill on people, he just wants to have a good time. he usually asks them to hang out or do his chores.

(hear me out) ben is not exactly a ghost like the other killers typically assume. although he was killed, slenderman had decided that he would've become a valuable asset if utilized correctly. so slenderman (using some lovecraftian powers idk) had brought ben to life. so i guess he's basically a zombie with less rotting????

loves raves and concerts, they're the only reason he even leaves the mansion. he wears dark sunglasses that literally never come off when he's out

he is a huge stoner and is the dealer for the others.

although he is a lover of all kinds of videogames, he immensely prefers retro games because he feels like there's more soul to them and are just more atmospheric.

collects funky socks because obviously, he collects funky socks

his favorite film is scott pilgrim vs. the world and his favorite book is ready player one by ernest cline

people he likes: jeff the killer, nina the killer, clockwork, x-virus, sally

people he dislikes: slenderman

reviewing spirit animatronics for 2023

i almost forgot again. but here we are

apparently the website doesnt display animatronics that are sold out so im trying to dig for them... this isnt a complete list im doin my best

anyway lets GOooooooo

Gourdo

im gonna start with my favorite look at this silly little guy. something about this design is just incredibly endearing to me and the stringy guts look pretty good in motion too. hes cute and i like him. his description says he was a guy who kept scaring everybody all the time and one day he scared an old lady who turned out to be a witch so she turned him into a pumpkin. and now hes stuck like this bc he could not behave himself. i love gourdo i want him 10/10

Eternal Rest

its a tombstone. theres a sad crying face and it turns into a skull face and screams at you. thats... thats it. it looks fine but its just really basic, this is doing nothing for me

3/10

Poor George

this guy was at my local store for a while. hes pretty fun, he flips around and his face changes. i like his funky stripes. makeup design looks extremely art the clown which is just making me wish they had him instead

its at least an attempt at a unique design. but according to his description, the story here is he was just a nice regular clown who had a terrible accident but somehow survived. you can see his bloody torso when he turns. this isn't a zombie clown monster, this is a man who desperately needs medical assistance

also no explanation for why he has two faces. he doesn't appear to be intentionally meant to be conjoined twins or something so if hes supposed to just be a regular guy im not sure whats going on there

5/10

they also came out with another killer klowns animatronic this year too, hes BIG but i dont have much to say about that one other than it looks good glad to see the klown rep increasing

i guess ill also mention here that they have a mars attacks alien figure now too, which doesn't really do much, it just moves its head a little but the lighting is cool and the design looks really good and seeing it inspired me to go watch the movie, so. shrugs. i like him

Heckles the Clown

here we have i think the first Sad Clown spirit animatronic? i cant think of any others ive seen. he kind of has creepy uncle energy but isn't really scary. hes just sad. he is a pathetic shell of a man weakly trying to sell his balloons and i just kind of feel bad for him. i did not notice in the store that his balloon actually has a light-up face in it which is cool. apparently according to his description hes actually using poison gas in his balloons which is a neat idea but is extremely unclear from the animatronic itself, i never would've known that if i hadn't read the description, so,

his face sculpt looks pretty good though. hes a pretty well designed figure i just think his whole deal is unclear and just makes me feel bad for him. help this man

6/10

Stilts

i do love a scary clown but all of these are starting to look pretty much the same to me. the colors are visually striking (i like the use of the blue accents especially) and i like the bloody bowling pins but at this point it's just kinda like, yep, that's another tall spooky clown. great for all your tall spooky clown needs but its not really that memorable. 4/10

Death Stalker

THIS thing however, looks sick as FUCK and i really want to see it in person. i dont know what the fuck that is. i love it. it breathes smoke and has way too many teeth. the description offhand mentions it lives behind an abandoned doll factory for no apparent reason. i love this thing 11/10

i think it might be built from the same body structure as their krampus figure that i also really liked

The Black Heart

ok i dont know about anyone else but i just find this one extremely confusing all around

he gives off protective dom skeleton boyfriend vibes. in the store i saw this and figured the woman was his victim and hes showing us his kill to threaten us, but it also looks like he's protecting her, so i didn't really get what was going on. the description says she tried to do some weird ritual ive never heard of where you lay in a grave and your true love will arrive to kiss you and wake you up snow white style at midnight, but instead she ended up with this guy as her "master" but it also refers to him as her "partner"

"the fuck did you just say about my wife"

so i guess they have some kind of bdsm relationship going on. which, y'know, if she's into that, id say good for her, but she doesn't move at all, she appears to be dead or unconscious. she also looks like she's emerging from his waist or something bc like, i guess they made her skirt the same color to hide that she's there until he reveals her, but i didnt even realize she had a lower body at all,

anyway the design is really confusing to look at and i don't really understand what their whole deal is. the faces look really good though. 5/10

Leatherface

leatherface in the HOUSE!!! i dont really have a lot to say here other than i think he looks great and i want you all to see him. 7/10

Darling Dolly

i fucking love this thing look at that. salad fingers doll monstrosity what the fuck is going on here. there was one in our store very briefly but it wasn't working and disappeared pretty quickly which just made it even weirder. this has a fantastic "what the FUCK IS THAT" factor and i just wish it had better functionality bc i was really excited to find out what it does and it turns out it pretty much just screams at you. i feel like a slower, creeping movement with spidery fingers and whispering sounds would have been more effective. its definitely scary though. i want more wild designs like this i love this thing

the backstory is... a little girl dug up a cursed doll in the yard and her mother tried to bury it back but got struck by lightning and became nightmareishly fused together with the evil doll which just. doesn't make sense to me i feel like trying to create an explanation for this figure is actively a detriment to it i like it better just as a Horrible Inexplicable Demon

9/10 could have been executed better but great design

The Cauldroness

pretty much just your standard witch. i like the way she's posed, this figure is more interesting to look at than a lot of the standing ones. the movement in her hands looks pretty good. i like her face. she also looks like salad fingers. maybe im just seeing it bc im trying so so hard to manifest him into existence even though i know they'll never make one sfjkg

anyway this is simple but i think it works well, 5/10

Dagger Mike

look at this ridiculous little gremlin. his name's dagger mike. hes got knives. his torso makes no sense. i love you dagger mike 6/10 hes not good but he makes me laugh and i like him

i do like the vintage clown look here though. i just think his body looks stupid and his existence is very funny to me in a way i cant articulate

Floating Spirit

its a ghost. it goes ooooo. 10/10
