Breaking my complaining silence to say I’ve been making more insta posts lately but it’s mostly bc I have a feeling who will die this spring and I need as many pics of him up on the internet as possible before it happens

ok so as someone still relatively new to TWST (and someone just taking the events as they come to EN instead of keeping up with the JP side) and as a Jack Howl simp

I am of the (CORRECT) opinion that he should absolutely get an Applepom look because... fwuffy. and hat with ear holes. and he'd be SO insistent that he's used to the cold and doesn't need it but he will take it once it's insisted on because he's polite and won't refuse Gramma Felmier

Also I think a fun twist on the "someone's sled breaks and their plushie tears so they have to come up with another idea" bit from the other event is that Jack goes wolf mode to pull the sled (because as said in his starsending wish he pulls sleds back at home on breaks to try and get faster as a wolf!)

I'm biased though because I need more Jacc in my life

Thoughts?

thank you anon for bringing the mental image of harveston Jack into my life. he would be SO fluffy...so warm...he would haul so many apples...

also while I love the imagery of him pulling the sled, I feel like that would probably get them insta-disqualified. :( unless they can somehow 1) convince the judges that this enormous talking wolf is actually a very well-made plush, and 2) get Jack to go along with it (I do think Jack would instantly respect Marja as being more alpha or whatever and would have to, like, choose between his sense of JUSTICE, or going along with cheating at this sporting event so an authority figure doesn't get mad at him) (...wait this is just the plot of episode 2 again) (DANGIT)

I know this is way early but what your predictions for horizon 3?

Hello anon!! Ooh what a nice question. It is early, indeed, but with Horizon forbidden west fresh on our minds its the perfect opportunity to talk about them possibilites ✨

Hold on because this is gonna be long!

(Spoilers ahead)

Lets start with tribes:

I don't quite expect Aloy having to personally visit ALL the tribes to rally them, since it would take a massive amount of time and it would be a little repetitive. So, I have this sort of idea of how it would be:

Quen:

If a horizon dlc doesn't touch upon it soon, I predict Aloy might travel to Quen lands sometime after defeating the Zeniths, in order to talk them over to help with nemesis (And just because I want more of Alva. I want to meet Federa so bad and I'd love to see if the food issues are still going on over there. ALSO her actress uploaded a pic on her insta of her wearing a mocap suit some time ago, so I'm 👀 LOOKING)

That might be the closest next thing, seeing as a DLC about the Quen could be the perfect opportunity to touch upon the new tribe. I'm super curious about them!

Nora, Carja, Utaru and Tenakth:

In general, I have this silly idea Aloy will want to travel back east first to rally the hzd tribes.

The Tenakth are almost already in, that tribe and Aloy are in great terms after she helped uniting the clans, so all there is to do was is let Kotallo some talking with Hekarro and we're IN, baby. The Utaru chorus is still a lil bitter but I'm sure Zo will manage, too. Both Zo and Kotallo are stationed on their respective tribe settlements after the ending of hfw, so rallying them could be a 'in between games' thing.

On the way to the Sacred Lands, Erend could drop by Meridian so he can brief Avad on nemesis and give focuses to the sun-king, Marad, Uthid, Vanasha and Talanah while Aloy continues further east with Beta and Zo to visit the Nora. (If Erend didn't like, send his resignation letter via Aldur and Joruf lmao. It would be akward as shit.)

Once they're with the Nora, Aloy could tell Sona about Varl's death, and have Zo meet her, too. Zo could tell Sona about her being pregnant with her son's child, etc. (I'd LOVE to see what Sona's reaction would be, since the Nora Matriarchs have to give their blessings before couples have the right to bear children. 😬)

Also as a side note I hope Zo's pregnancy isn't developed enough for her to get shelved for hz3. I want her to be able to follow everyone for the last fight!

I hope to see Teersa and Teb again, too. Teersa was honestly such a great help to Aloy back in hzd, I'd hate it if that was the last thing we saw of her, she was so nice! And, Aloy could make a quick stop to pick up more focuses over at Eleuthia-9 and check on gramma and introduce her to Beta, too. (If Beta does want to venture out of the fucking basement, of course.)

Not only that! But the hz3's tutorial could be Aloy teaching Beta how to use the focus to hunt, and if it were in the same place where Rost taught Aloy to hunt, it would be just DELICIOUS writing.

(Also... there's this thing where every character that stars with Aloy in the tutorial bit of the game uhhhh fucking dies? So lets not do that guerrilla.)

They could visit Rost's cabin and resting place one more time, then after telling the Nora about nemesis they could head back, pick up Erend from Meridian (and Talanah too if given the opportunity. There's one more empty bunk at base so 💅. We're lacking a Carja member at base to complete the set.)

I don't have any clue as to how they will add the Banuk in, but I hope they don't leave them behind.

After the Carja, Utaru, Tenakth and Nora are in, (and maybe the Quen, if that has already happened) there's only one more place to visit.

🕯️ THE CLAIM 🕯️

Listen. LISTEN. Why the candles, you ask? Its bc Im praying. MANIFESTIN.

The claim is the only tribe territory we haven't seen yet, and Im foaming at the mouth at the idea of getting to see them.

The Oseram npcs have been a delight all over the map in both hzd and hfw and just makes sense for Aloy to go to 🕯️ The Claim 🕯️ in hz3.

And I think they'll be next because after Singularity, if you talk to Erend over at Hidden Ember he will have some voice lines that hint at the Claim, like:

"You know. One time I'd like the two of us to go on an adventure where angry Oseram aren't trying to kill us." OKAY SIR.

And:

"There is a lot of work ahead of us. But we'll make sure my people stand with you when Nemesis shows up."

Aloy could not only go to rally them, but like a friend pointed out on the Ereloy server I'm in, there are a LOT of new possible ruins and other old ones stuff we could see, too.

Elysium, Vast Silver, more cauldrons where Hephaestus could be hiding. The possibilities are endless.

Its no secret that I love the Oseram, so the possibility of seeing more of them? Delightful. Straight up buffet for me.

And all the mischief and disaster that Aloy could make when she meets the old, stubborn, and patriarchal ealdormen of the tribe?

SIGN ME THE FUCK UP.

Finally, with all the tribes rallied, I imagine having a huuuuge map for the third game, a mix of the hzd one and the hfw one (plus the new places we'll visit for hz3.) Having the possibility of traveling via sunwing from the start, of course.

Next, Characters:

No more deaths. Thats illegal now. The first two games had enough of that, and grief showing up again in hz3? Nah, I'm good. (Plus I love them all pls I want them to be happy.)

There are many different ways for Aloy's arc/ writing could go in hz3, like how she hasn't had a decent cry like, ever. I want her to have a huge breakdown, to finally process everything she's gone through, to think about what she wants to do when its all over, etc. She has friends by her side now, what if she's scared from losing them, and everything she's worked so hard to achieve? Man, the possibilities. I think we all can agree that by the end, she deserves nice things. I hope she gets to choose what she wants next, instead of having to run from one side to the other all the time.

Then, for Beta I'd love her to get her own arc, learn how to live in this new world she's in. To have fun and learn and go out and see sunsets and waterfalls and deserts and everything this world has to offer. If she stays hidden in the Base for all the game amma be mad. Beta meeting Aloy's other friends from outside the base would be incredible! Seeing everyone's diferent reactions would be nice. When the game ends, I'm sure she and Aloy will stick together. She has a family now!

Then regarding the rest of Aloy's companions, i think the stage is set for Erend, too. With the possibility of going to 🕯️ The Claim 🕯️ and seeing as it seems he's Aloy's second in comand now there could be nice things for his arc, because I can tell guerilla isn't quite done with him yet! (Also blorbo brainrot, haha.)

In my opinion his writing in HFW was kinda lame but I'm just jotting that down as covid related issues the studio had, bc John Hopkins (Erend's va/face model/mocap actor) didn't even get to do any of the scenes himself with Ashly Burch, so that could explain why his character was kind of shelved/all over the place. (Erend's base dialogue my beloathed.)

Also... did he resign from being Captain of the Vanguard? He sounded bored of it when you meet him at the Daunt, so thats a thing. He literally just left Avad a message that he'd be gone for a while to help Aloy but like, he's supposed to be the king's personal guard..? Boy has his priorities straight it seems. I'd love to see a little bit of Aloy questioning him about that in hz3. Same with his relationship with the claim and his family bc the hzd guide mentioned him having an abusive father so I'm looking out for his backstory.

Also where the fuck is his helmet guerrilla??Give it back!!

Then Sylens. SYLENS. I love him. He has so much potential. I like that he stayed at the end, he's one of my faves and I would love it if he had a major role for hfw. He'd be super helpful when Nemesis arrives, and seeing as he's has a certain change of heart, I wonder how that will play out, too.

Like I said earlier, I hope Zo doesn't get left behind at base because of her pregnancy. She was such a great character in hfw and I just want to see a bit more of her in battle! I have no idea of how long hz3's timeline will be, but if she has her kid at the end and names her Vala I'll cry. Also I'd love to see some Auntloy!!

Kotallo and Alva... I gotta admit Im kinda worried for.

Alva could have some major role if the Quen are involved, but that depends if its a DLC or in-game for hz3. If they get a DLC, then great! But what would she do in hz3? Same with Kotallo.

I have no idea what their roles would be for the next game, I can only think of Kotallo rallying the Tenakth, at most? But other than that, not much. Maybe he could be a Tenakth ambassador to the Carja, but I don't know if the tribe's alliance will have a major role or impact on the story just yet.

Overall, I hope they don't shelf neither of them. Both are great characters, and I gotta admit that Kotallo and Alva's dynamic is just so good.

But anyways, thats all I can think of for now!

I just hope guerilla focuses a bit more on their story writing and their characters, hfw's gameplay was incredible, It'd be amazing if the story got the same treatment. (As in better, not bigger.) Now that covid is more manageable, I'm sure things will only get better and better.

My hopes are definitely up, I am super excited as to what comes next for Horizon, and maybe soon we'll get a dlc, too!

@ethandolan: this one’s for you dad

Hey. Is ur gf single. Will you give her my Snapchat.

My Snapchat. But no snapchat cuz gramma old. I stay wif tumblr and Insta and tikkkkk tokkkkkk

AAA THERES ONLY LIKE 5 MINS LEFT I GOTTA KNOW!!: 🎵👸🧸☀️

Ah ok!! Omg I was just about to put alu down a lil early then watch futurama until my sleep aids kick in but I can definitely have us go ahead and answer these ty sm for sending them in!!

Hhhh ok well it’s kinda of a common joke between our system and the pyrrhic cascade that literally any of us would rather take a bullet to the knee or worse than listen to shô’s music for an extended period of time.....he likes this obscure genre that doesn’t even have a name that’s like somewhere between rave music, christian rock but without Jesus or lyrics even and it all sounds like the Seinfeld theme but nightcore. Very odd. The other most notable/distinctly different music tastes are sawyer, who listens exclusively to glass animals, Nolan who only listens to Celtic music, Mumford and sons and the oh hellos, and Jeanette who listens exclusively to powwow fancydancing music that she picked up from attending a few public powwows over the years with our foster cousins from one of the reservations in our state (there is also another public powwow on one of the local campuses we have a flyer for in March so. Really pumped for that ^_^)

Ah ok! Well Nina (cohost) has his assortment of eboy chains that is a must for him to wear when he is out, kalluto and her sisters share an oversized megadeth t shirt as pajamas since they are mostly out only after dark (they don’t even listen to megadeth, they just like the t shirt design 😭). Hmm we usually try to get at least 1 small article of clothing or an accessory for the alters that front most frequently, other things include Sawyer’s carhartt hat, some hairpins for some of the younger girl parts when our hair gets longer, ohmi has his wolf necklace, An and Jovan both own our ridiculously oversized basketball shorts and sweater (shorts are 4xl and sweater is 5xl (we wear a L), they got them from the big and large department at Gordmans bc that’s where we used to shop during the time period they split from (middle school) before we knew we were trans so would go to great lengths to hide our chest and hips with big clothes also we were severely depressed 😰). Hmm.....trying to think of anything else of note. Nolan has his sunglasses that are similar to the ones he wore in his canon. Idk that’s all I can think of off the top of my head!!

Yes!! Again we try to get a small thing for the main 5 or so kids that are out in the evening/at night or with Cameron so ohmi has the rabbit from build a bear he got for our birthday in 2018, alu and nika share their bag of “guys” which is what they call their bag of little figurines and toys under 5 inches - it’s their “bag of guys” and they make them fight and go on adventures in the house and stuff. Needles has her collection of frogs that she’s accumulated over the years, most of them being beanie babies from the street fair, Thomas has a similar collection of foxes but it’s significantly smaller and nowadays he usually only uses the big fox pillow that nanna got him over the winter holidays in 2019 :) Jeanette, although she’s been fronting a lot more at night, does not have a small thing of her own yet.

Josiah, kouffi, Nolan, Cambria, silver: work. We are allowed to have snacks, tea and our oil diffuser at our cubicle as well as a blanket when we make calls so although working at a call center can be stressful for other alters for those five it’s a really comfortable yet socially stimulating job.

An: morning. They tend to wake up before anyone else in the house and make or buy an iced coffee, come home and then work on naruto edits for their insta gram. Micah does this too, but he’ll usually take a drive with goku after he’s gotten his McDonald’s coffee

Needles, Vanderwilde (and sometime kei, depending on the day): any time we get to see the cousins on our Heisler side of the family or go to Heisler family reunions. Pretty much whenever we get to drive to devils lake to see gramma Heisler too

Tuesday, Lupin, Bryce, chi, also an: gym time after work. Usually, but ESPECIALLY if we feel like cutting or smoking/drinking alone or if we’re just generally feeling shitty, after work every day these alters will spend anywhere from 30 minutes to 3 hours walking on the walking track in the public gym of our own old high school. It’s especially fun for social alters like Bryce and Lupin when they get to walk with Cameron on Monday’s.

Bryce, needles, ohmi, Jeanette, most of kids in general: night time. That’s usually when Cameron comes over to our place and him and Bryce will watch movies or docs and do whatever else Cameron and Bryce do in their spare time together but then since Cameron seems to literally be an endless well of patience, at around 11:30pm-1am there will be time for the kid personalities to be out and either play, draw, watch cartoons or whatever. They also get to interact with people outside the system like Cameron at this time, which they otherwise don’t get to do a lot. Then they usually fall asleep to Seinfeld while Cameron combs their hair or rubs their back. Like I said, he is an endless well of patience and a saint.

Omg I’m so sorry that got so long 😰😭ask and you shall receive!! 💕💕💕💕anyway, goodnight everyone I’m heading to bed so see all my lovely followers and mutuals tomorrow!!

-Anouk & Alu

Okay guys so Seth (the Make Out Monday drummer) doesn't follow me on insta anymore BUT he occasionally likes my posts? He recently liked the ember one last night then just now liked the video of me and leah and the fry.

I'm so confused. A while back he also commented on a post I made saying how my gramma didnt like my hair color at the time shortly after I posted it.

I mean it's nothing creepy, he's got a girlfriend and he seems really kind and just overall dorky, but I'm just like. What gives?

Eugene hired a photographer for his gramma’s birthday dinner. His cousin just posted a photo from the shoot on her insta. It’s Eugene and his sisters, plus his cousin, along with his brother-in-law, cousin-in-law, and Eugene’s partner all sitting with their gramma on a couch. Eugene’s cousin captioned the picture “The kids + Halmoni.” 

I love that Eugene’s BF is in the picture just the same as the in-laws who have married into the family. It’s marriage without the marriage y’all.
