Hi. I love Machete. He's so pathetic wet cat but he's a dog. The gayest dog on this site I've yet seen. I love him. I want to give him ear scratches and kiss his little nose. Please tell him he is a treasure.

୨୧·࣭࣪̇˖ sending them suggestive pictures while they're at work
feat.: Dazai, Chūya, Ranpo, Fukuzawa, Fyodor, Sigma
content: nsfw, female reader, spanking, sexting, oral sxx, masturbation, semi public
Tumblr media
It's not unusual for DAZAI to tap away on his phone during work hours, so no one — except for Kunikida, who still hasn't given up on glaring — pays it any mind when his smirk widens at his screen. What remains a secret, however, is that he's not looking at some funny tweet but instead at your tits, the blue lace of your bra making for a pleasant contrast in colour.
He's awfully smug about the whole ordeal, really; also, who is he not to play along? He definitely sends you not only some appreciative words back, but also a picture of his own, featuring either his hands — he does know that you're quite fond of his fingers, after all —, his face — because you can never complain about that! —, or his by now half-hard dick, pressing against his trousers, even though taking soft nudes borders on workplace indecency. Oh, and your pictures are definitely saved and stored away on his phone for later usage.
[new message from Dazai] “someone's needy, harassing me during work hours! just kidding bella!! you're so cute xx stunning too! how am i supposed to listen to kunikida any longer when you're so so pretty? :( ill call out sick, be there in 20 x”
Tumblr media
CHŪYA really doesn't expect to see anything but a picture of a dog you saw outside or of a particularly pretty flower when he spares a brief glance at his phone during a Port Mafia meeting. It's already disrespectful, though he doesn't plan on anyone noticing the miniscule action — that is, until he all but chokes on his coffee at the photo of you, legs spread wide, two fingers deep inside of yourself, wearing not only his favourite lingerie set, but also one of his ties.
He tries hard to ignore the way everyone stares at him when he, all too abruptly, excuses himself to the bathroom, his face bright red. In the safety of a stall, he really can't do anything but shove his trousers to his knees, one hand immediately closing around his dick while he types your number into his phone with his free one — and while he might snap at you, oh so flustered, he's also so damn turned on that he can barely focus on anything but the sound of your voice and your photo.
“Fucking Hell, babe—, God, with how Mori was looking at me, I bet he knew what was up. Fuck—, send me another one, please, I'm so damn close, ah—”
Tumblr media
Business meetings aren't RANPO'S favourite way to spend time. They're awfully boring, making him huff and sigh when he has to sit through them — though this one gets a lot more interesting the moment he clicks on a text message from you. He raises an eyebrow at the sight of your panties, pure lace and hiding not even the slightest bit just how wet you are, thighs glistening, though that's about all the physical reaction he's going to show. The fact that his dick strains against his trousers is no one's business.
He is, however, quick to text you back, amusement dripping from his messages, and if Fukuzawa wasn't already watching him with sharp eyes, he'd sneak away to the bathroom to call you. For now, you'll just have to do with sexting — this meeting is going to go on for a while, especially if he won't soon start contributing, and he's unfortunately got better things to do.
[new message from Ranpo] “having fun without me? youre so mean. at least send me more pics im dyin g here... maybw bend over or— ooo i know, we bought that toy a while ago, right? why don't you use that one for me, doll....”
Tumblr media
FUKUZAWA sucks in a sharp breath the second his eyes fall onto your form clad in nothing but one of his yukatas, and even though he attempts to remain calm, he's already blushing, arousal churning low in his stomach. Really, he was just trying to take a miniscule break from all the paperwork he's facing — besides, the cat ringtone signaling your message did sound rather urgent! —, though now he's not certain whether he can focus on it again.
He ends up typing “This is most inappropriate.” in response, though he never sends it, instead replacing it with a “You look stunning.”, only to never send that one either. In the end, he just quits work a little earlier that day and hurries home faster than he'd ever want to admit, cheeks still flushed with arousal when he joins you in bed, immediately slotting himself between your pretty thighs, long fingers spreading your folds apart and into your cunt to prepare you — only to realise you've long done that yourself. How convenient. He might reprimand you a little afterwards, though both of you realise it's not to be taken seriously. When he's honest with himself, he rather liked that photo — and he'll definitely keep it.
“That was awfully inappropriate. Darling, you know I enjoy getting to hear from you during the day, and yet — what? I didn't mind you wearing my clothing in the slightest. I was worried about someone from the Agency seeing the picture. In fact, wear my clothes again whenever you feel like it. Please do. You looked quite irresistible.”
Tumblr media
It's almost unfair just how seemingly unbothered FYODOR is. When checking his phone during a Decay of Angels meeting, aware that you know not to contact him except for important reasons, he merely glances at the photo lewdly depicting your raised skirt and the curve of your behind before putting it back into his pocket. Really, it's downright adorable that you're attempting to tease him — you should know better by now, darling.
While he doesn't bother with a response, he certainly makes sure to pay attention to you when he returns home. And, oh, the next time you want to toy with him, he sure hopes you remember this very moment, of you bent across his lap, his hand coming down ever so often on your butt, on the soft skin of your upper thighs, making you cry out with every slap. The marks, at least, will serve as a nice reminder, especially when you keep forgetting to thank him for every hit.
“There we go, dear. Ah, ah — don't cry now. This is what you wanted, is it not? My undivided attention — and you certainly have it, now. Which number were we on again? Tell me, darling, or we will have to start over, I'm afraid.”
Tumblr media
The second SIGMA spares a quick glance at his phone, only to stumble upon a rather revealing picture you just sent him — and, God, 'rather revealing' is an understatement when he's able to see just how wet you are, thighs spread for the camera —, his face heats up significantly, earning him some odd looks from the other men he's currently in a meeting with. In a desperate attempt to regain professionalism, he clears his throat, trying to simply continue, but it's as if every thought has been erased from his mind and was replaced by you.
When getting home that evening, he's calmed down considerably, cheeks still warm with the memory of you being this bold, though his sudden calmness might just change when you expect him in that exact same position, legs wide apart, the smile on your face teasing — and who is he not to end up on his knees in front of you, tongue flattening against your cunt while both of you let out breathy moans? In the end, he's all but begging you to return the favour.
“Ah, God, I'm close. At least finish me off, please—, you were really cruel today, dear. Make it up to me? Please? Oh, fuck—”

yeah, more of these…
Batboys x reader feat. living together bc I don’t see enough headcanons about that (in some you’re a super and in some you’re not)
~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dick Grayson/ Nightwing
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
We’re imagining a Matt Murdock style Manhattan apartment, with entire walls made of murky glass, limited amount of walls within the place, very nice. It’s in Blüdhaven (:
There are two bedrooms. The two of you live in the smaller one and the master is for superhero stuff
All your tech, suits, files, medical, all that
The ceiling in your room is glass!!
The doggo is a black German Shepherd with a white patch on his chest that looks like the Nightwing symbol, which is the entire reason you got him. His name is Eagle :D
No matter where you work, the two of you take your lunches together every day and get coffee before work if there’s enough time. You picked this place because it’s close to both your jobs, obvi
As far as decor goes, there are a few high-humidity plants, neutral and blue tones, and cool metal
It’s always humid in your place for the plants, but it’s nice
Rainforest vibes, especially when it’s raining
~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jason Todd/ Red Hood
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
So many books
All the books
Everywhere
Y’all’s live out kind of in the middle of nowhere so it’s easier to retreat and lay low when necessary
Bout an hour out of Gotham
That’s Albus Dumbledore, the Great Dane
Alby for short cause she’s actually a girl but Jay wasn’t budging on that name
Kitty is Angelica
Anyways it’s nice and quiet out there, no city noises or being constantly worried about a stray bomb being thrown in a window
Every goddamn cup or container in your house is a mason jar
Plates and bowls are literally just hammered out sheets of scrap metal
It’s an aesthetic tbh
Plenty of succulents
Anyways the library? Massive
The kitchen? Top of the line
Maybe you two live out in the middle of nowhere, but no way in hell do you pass up the opportunity to abuse Bruce’s money to build a kickass house with all your favorite things
~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tim Drake/ Red Robin
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Tim wanted to stay close to Bruce, as he is still a Robin
So y’all’s are only like a ten minute drive from the manor
Two doggos!! Rapunzel and Rella. They are both trained service dogs for anxiety and PTSD, for you and Tim both. Damian helped Bruce find them for you when the two of you moved in :DD
You have a smaller apartment, but it’s close to the top of the building and you actually get to see the Gotham sun sometimes
Whenever Rella or Rapunzel knows Tim’s been on his computer too long, or you’re hyperfixated on a case, or neither of you have slept in a while, they’ll drag you away from your work for a walk or a nap or food
Da best guard dogs :3
MOVING AWAY FROM THE DOGS
The house has quite the modern vibe going
Bright colors, cool shapes, sensible uses of space
Yes, the loft king bed is a real thing
Although sometimes you guys end up sleeping in the living room with a blanket fort bc your dogs can’t follow you up the ladder
~~~~~~~~~~~~ Damian Wayne/ Robin
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
First and foremost: Playdough’s rainbow spots are just dye; she’s fine I promise
Dami brought Titus and Alfred, obviously, but sadly Batcow had to stay at the manor. The condo building owners didn’t like the idea of that; a Great Dane is barely allowed as it is
The other cat is Cookie!! She’s nice but you and Dami tell everyone she’s mean so when they get affection they feel all warm inside [:
Keep in mind these guys are the only permanent ones- you foster all kinds of animals, including more dogs and cats, chinchillas, guinea pigs, rabbits, birds, even a bat once
Dami also had to stay close to the manor for Robin purposes. You guys are a few minutes away
There are little weapons and med kits and snacks (human and pet) scattered all over your place
Everything is so dark at your place so bloodstains are less noticable
(Dami tends to stumble through a window at like four in the morning, potentially with stab or gunshot wounds and bleeds all over the place)
If you’re a nurse, the stitching up came easy
If you’re not… you had to learn pretty fast
But hey it’s not all bad you’ve got four emotional support animals and a giant tv to watch Nat Geo on

Here to the third chapter of the jojolands. Things have entered a new level of silly... against the new gang really quickly. This one really went from 20 to 100 in a snap.
One observation that most people have seen is the shift of conflict from latter parts. Since none of the presented stands are rushdown types that can traditionally punch, the fights are now concentrated in tension, and problem solving rather than face to face confrontations. I really like it since this type of conflict gives so many opportunities to the characters to shine more through stressful situations.
Speaking of that, Dragona and their Smooth Operators were the stars of this chapter. Not only they managed to keep a cool head when the plan went wrong, they also showed how versatile their stand is. My theory that Dragona is going to be the leader of the group for this part is getting stronger since they are really carrying everyone else in their back. Even with the threat of Rohan discovering them Dragona carried through with everything. (The detail of Dragona calling Smooth Operators their kids was so cute!).
Jodio getting distracted, then focused, then distracted again was so funny when the situation was still cold. Araki really made him feel like an actual teenager, and that is not small feat. Him getting excited over the manga manuscript, and the dog pictures was a nice moment. Also Jodio ignoring the cat because he was too focused on the ipad was so funny, for a moment I thought that Jodio was not going to notice Rohan getting out of the pool, but he is focused enough on the mission to alert the others, and use November Rain.
Tumblr media
Jodio, babyboy you don't even know half of it.
Rohan may be from part 4, but he made sure to keep up with the times since he now has a tablet to draw Pink Dark Boy's manuscript. Surprisingly Heaven's Door doesn't work on electronics, so Jodio got lucky this time. Now, onto another thing, was Rohan actually that clueless about four people entering the house, or was he waiting for one of them to fuck something up so he could call them out crazy style?
Paco and Usagi's personalities are a really good foil to Dragona's. The three of them want to finish the mission quick enough so Meryl May can pay them, but Paco is just a tad bit more focused in stealing more than the diamond, and Usagi is being so sillay that he is leaving a trail behind him. It's good stuff.
Body Horror time! If there is something that jojo's would do is body horror! This chapter, strings!
Please let the cat be the stand user. Please, please, please, PLEASE. Jojo's hasn't had an animal stand user since part 4! Think of the possibilities. A Kitty cat as a new member of the gang. The comedy of seeing a cat kick all of their asses. Please let the cat be the stand user, Iggy, Pet Shop, and Stray Cat are not enough!
Oh, Jodio noticed that there is something quite... bizarre about Rohan, I wonder what that would be :)
I wonder why Rohan has an entire laboratory dedicated to cooled lava, is it research for the manga? Or something more?

How were the Ros as kids?
Thyra: She was a busy bee, always helpful to her parents as well as everyone around her and she liked it. She didn’t have many friends, only a close few, but she was widely popular with the boys. Some found her enchanting because she wanted to learn to fight while others found it ridiculous. Overall, she was a girl of many talents.
Gungir: He was a very tall child and many admired him for it, believing it to be a strong trait and thus, he was treated as a man already. From a young age he went on raids and helped around the village, not really ever enjoying the simple joys a normal child would have.
Raud: He was quite a lively one, always loved fighting and rolling around in the mud with a large group of friends. Though sometimes he was quite the coward. He also tried to befriend all the animals in the village, horses, cats, dogs, even fish, you name it! He loved them all equally.
Anne: She wasn’t the most outgoing nor was she the shyest. She was quite chubby and the children her age made fun of her for that. She learnt playing instruments when she was young, her favorite very quickly became the lute.
???: He never left his home, if he did it was considered a rare feat for the people around him. He didn’t have a single friend, not one and he liked it that way. The children he would see playing outside his home, he would often consider childish and pitiful. He spent his time either reading or staring at a blank wall just...thinking.

Swap into the CrystalVerse Chapter 16: Fantasy Masks
Co-written with @crystalninjaphoenix 
Read Swapboys | Read Fantasy Masks | AO3 Link
Prologue | Switch | Stitched | PNPT | Septicheroes | Fantasy Masks
Taglist: @brokentimewatch @di-diwata  
"News! We have news!" Jackie runs across camp, looking for the two strangers. "Bro? Alt? We have news!"
It is once again getting close to night, evening making it cool again. Where could those two be?
Turns out they were back at the training grounds, Bro having convinced Alt to try to spar him, but letting Alt use his magic.
Alt is glitching around while Bro attempts to hit him, giggling. "C'mon bro~ You can do better than that!" Alt teases.
But, when they hear Jackie's voice, Alt is temporarily distracted and Bro uses this as a chance to hit him in the stomach, making Alt wheeze and then fall on the ground. Bro rests the practice sword on his shoulder with a smirk.
Alt frowns and rubs his stomach, "No fair!"
"S'all fair in battle, lil bro!" Bro grins.
Alt snorts and glitches to his feet and dusts himself off. "I think Jackie is calling for us. We should you know- probably go more towards camp- and the fire."
Bro whines slightly and then puts up the sword, "Yeah yeah okay..." Alt shakes his head with a laugh and starts back towards the main part of camp, Bro quickly following after him.
They soon run into Jackie. "Were you two on the field this whole time?" Jackie asks, laughing. "Ah, after my own heart!”
Alt grumbles, "Bro dragged me over."
Bro laughs, "You had fun though!"
“Alright, but onto the news. Are you heading to the fire? Alright. We're diverting to the skull for this. There's a chance that we found your man. The one you were hunting."
Both Alt’s and Bro’s eyes widen as Jackie tells them the news. "Oh- well... w-we should get right to that then." Alt answers.
Jackie nods sharply. “I’ll explain more when we get there.”
He takes the two of them to the dragon’s skull, entering through a gap where it meets the spine. Inside, Jameson, Henrik, and a woman in a dog’s mask are waiting. There are also three birds. Pigeons, with fancy curly feathers and leather collars around their necks.
Here they are, Jameson says.
“Ah, Bro and Alt, welcome,” Henrik says. “This is Anna. She is in charge of our birds.” Anna nods. “And her birds may have found your man. But we need you to be sure.”
Alt and Bro walk in and Bro immediately takes charge and nods to Anna, "Alright, whatcha got Miss Anna?"
“Heh.” Anna smiles, a bit shy in the face of the strangers with new magic. “These birds are trained to carry messages, but sometimes we can attach these special charms for searching.” She carefully pulls one of the collars off. There’s a small, sparkly bit of rock attached to it. “We tune these to look for unusual things—in this case, strangers—and when the birds find something that the charm marks as matching our expectations, the birds return here. What we need you to do is touch the stone, and you will see what the bird saw that was marked.”
Alt steps up now and offers his hand to Anna, "...I... I know Mag the best. Just in case he's in disguise... I should be able to tell."
Anna nods. "Okay." She carefully removes the two other collars from the birds. "Here. One at a time."
When Alt tries the first charm, it's like he has a movie projected directly into his mind. This one shows the center of a town, where a man is using magic to juggle water and fire. An impressive feat, but not something out of bounds of this world's magic, and it's definitely not Mag, even in disguise. The second charm shows an old palace of some kind--not quite in ruin, but clearly not being kept. The bird sits on a windowsill and looks through the glass. A door opens and out walks two men: one wearing a flowy shirt, a capelet, and a mask shaped like half a cat's face, the other wearing a green tunic and cloak, with a golden circlet hanging from his belt. The third is not important. Alt knows Mag the moment he sees the second one.
As soon as Alt sees the half cat mask he gasps and tries to shock away from the stone. "T-That one- that's him! And...i... I think he's... I think he's with the king...? Or... someone with a fancy crown thing-"
"The King?" Jackie gasps.
"The King!" Henrik cries.
Jameson leans forward. Hand it to me, I can confirm it's him and not some other noble.
Alt shakily hands the stone to Jameson, a huge pit forming in his stomach.
Jameson closes his eyes and brushes against the stone. When he opens them again, he nods firmly. It's definitely him.
"I... take it that it's not good they're together..." Henrik says slowly.
"They both have enchanter-sort powers," Jackie says. "Is one of them... controlling the other? I don't think either of those options are good. If Magnificent is controlling the King, he is essentially controlling the kingdom. And if it's the other way around... well, the King would love to use whatever resources he has."
"Perhaps they are not one controlling the other," Henrik says. "Perhaps they are working together."
Jameson shakes his head. I don't think it's in the King's nature to share power.
"Neither is Mag's..." Alt mutters. He grabs his arms and squeezes, "But this... can't be good. How did he get to the king already?? Knowing him- he's gonna try to drain him or puppet him and then- he could fuck over an entire kingdom!" Alt is trying so hard not to panic right now. He looks desperately at Anna and the others, "H-How far away is this palace?"
"They're at the palace?" Jackie repeats. "Well, that's in Suilthair, and that's two whole weeks away--" Jameson shakes his head.
It wasn't the palace in Suilthair. It was in... a smaller town. And the Dragon's Teeth mountains were visible on the horizon.
"Perhaps... that is the summer palace in Killithair?" Henrik speculates. "Do you remember that, Jackie?"
"Oh yea!" Jackie nods. "Four years ago that whole town got emptied out. So many people lost their homes and livelihoods, but there was never any fuss about it? I suppose the King was influencing others to think it wasn't as big a problem as it was. If that's the case, we only have to leave the mountains and foothills; it should only take one or two days."
"Days?!" Alt grips at his head, "Oh nonono- we might lose them by then! Who knows where the hell they're going! I mean maybe the main palace but you said that would take weeks??? Mag might already be using the King l-like his plaything! Trying to turn him into a cat or destroying his mind and-" Okay now he's definitely panicking.
"Alt, calm down." Jackie reaches out and places his hands on Alt's shoulders. Henrik pushes him back a little--they're not sure how Alt feels about touch, after all--but Jackie keeps talking anyway. "There's only one road to Killithair. We go there. If they're not there, they had to have taken the road. So we'll follow them. It's a problem, yes, but not as much as you think."
Honestly the King being a cat might be beneficial to the kingdom, Jameson says half-jokingly.
"It would certainly satisfy Marvin, who keeps saying we need to kill him," Jackie agrees.
"The jokes are not helping, I think," Henrik says, glaring at the two of them.
Alt glitches back some at being touched, staring at Jackie and Henrik with wide eyes. He tries to calm down his breathing, "We'll be behind a day at best... how can we catch up to them? I... I can't let Mag get his claws on an entire Kingdom! Hurting versions of ourselves... that we could handle! But now- hundreds- thousands of lives are at risk!"
"Do you think he can control the kingdom from an abandoned city or while on the road?" Henrik asks. "No. He will need to go back to Suilthair first! Find some way to have himself established. And we can catch up."
"Though we will be riding hard..." Jackie admits. reluctantly.
Couldn't Marvin help close the distance with his magic doorways? Jameson asks.
"To cover a day's worth of distance?"
Not on his own. But do you remember that night when he used the magic in the dragon's bones to shield the whole camp?
"Ah--I would remind everyone that Marvin nearly drained himself after that!" Henrik points out.
Alt's eyes flicker back and forth as he thinks, "I can help! I can supply him with my magic or- or something!"
"But then you'd be defenseless, Alt!" Bro argues, "If we just try to jump to where they are, we can't stop them and get Mag out of here with you drained!"
Alt grips harder onto his arms, gritting his teeth. " You guys have no idea how- how sneaky he is! I... I don't want to chance it- he's probably already manipulating the king somehow! I- i just..." He hits his head slightly and shouts, "argh! We should have looked right away!"
"Alt, how would we have found him???" Jackie emphasizes. "There's not even a village within a day's journey anymore! We sent the searcher pigeons as soon as we knew Magnificent was here! Even if we started looking earlier, we wouldn't have found him much earlier!"
"Take a moment to breathe, Alt," Henrik says slowly. "If you panic, you cannot think straight. Deep breaths. In and out."
I know it's frightening to think about, Jameson signs gently. But to be honest... Glasúil cannot be much worse off. The man we have in charge is already willing to maim others to keep them under control. And Magnificent cannot act quickly by himself in the middle of nowhere.
Alt looks between everyone as he hugs himself tightly. Slowly, he tries to breathe, blinking panicked tears out of his eyes. Eventually, he starts to calm down and Bro hovers next to him, touching him lightly on the shoulder. "...it'll be okay Alt... we'll find him. He's probably just as out of his depth here as we are. We forget it but- he's only as old as me, JJ and Jackie. He's used to modern things... he's not gonna be going through this easy."
Alt laughs a bit quietly at this before looking back at the others, "...okay... there's only one road from this...town to the capital then...? ... we... we can do that- i'm sure we can catch them... sure..." He doesn't look super convinced but he's trying not to spiral again.
"That's it." Jackie smiles reassuringly. "If you go into this expecting doom and death you're going to get doom and death. An attitude shapes things more than you'd expect. Don't look at the horse before it cries."
Henrik raises an eyebrow. "Will they understand what that means?"
"...fuck, I didn't think of that, uh..." Jackie scrambles for another way to phrase it. "I mean... don't prepare for results... before you see results?" Jameson laughs silently.
"Don't count your chickens before they hatch!" Bro tries to provide cheerfully.
Alt chuckles and finally nods, "Alright... we- we just gotta prepare then..." he's quiet for a second, "...how the fuck do we prepare to follow after them?"
"Byyyyy grabbing a wagonful of weapons!" Jackie says cheerfully. "Arming to the teeth! Marvin did establish earlier that magic is probably slower than arrows!"
In all seriousness, we could try to outnumber them, Jameson says. Who should we take?
"Whoever is willing to go out and help the King," Henrik asks. "Which is a small amount. Marvin may be the only one in camp that thinks we should kill him, but the others would not be kind to him, either."
"Should Marvin come? Would he take the chance to try and kill him again?" Jackie wonders.
Maybe we take him so that he can deal with the other man, Jameson suggests.
"Marvin is powerful so that might help..." Alt mutters, starting to pace, "But- Mag has a thing against other versions of himself so we might just be getting him in danger but i think having more magic around would be good??" He eventually shrugs, "I guess it'll be up to him... why isn't he in here with you guys anyways? and Chase?"
"Yes, why didn't they come?" Henrik wonders.
"Uh..." Jackie squirms. "I may have... gotten so excited that I... Once I got these guys, I... forgot to tell them..."
"Sisters, Jackie!" Henrik cries, exasperated.
"Hey, I mean--Chase isn't even part of the leadership, technically."
I'm not either, and neither is Anna, Jameson says. Anna, silent this whole time, raises her hand in greeting when she's acknowledged.
"But you two are administrative, you know?"
"Oh yes, let us not go get Chase, whose doppelganger is here visiting!" Henrik scoffs. "Or Marvin, who is part of the leadership!"
"What the fuck is a doppelganger?!"
"That is what you focus on? Really?"
"It means copy," Bro laughs. "Hey man i get it- ADHD, amirite?"
"They don't know what that is, Chase," Alt says with exhaustion.
"Oh yeah! ...uh- brain sometimes no think good- too fast! Thoughts go everywhere... im the same way!"
"You have scattered thoughts too? Oh, that makes so much sense," Jackie says, sounding relieved. "So you get it, then, with this... aidéhaishdé."
"... Gesundhiet?" Bro laughs.
"Your thoughts would not be so scattered if you remembered to take the mind soother," Henrik mutters.
"You understand the problem with what you just said, right? 'Remember'?"
"Why did you just say 'health' in Alterdan?" Henrik asks Bro, confused.
"Oh I thought that was- nevermind," Bro giggles.
In any case, I think they're probably at dinner by now, Jameson says. We should head over. Tell them all this. They can help us prepare.
Alt nods to Jameson, "Okay... that's a good idea then."
"We just have to accept that some of this translation stuff is strange," Jackie chuckles. "We'll need Marvin to renew the spell soon, maybe he can do that at dinner."
Are you coming, Anna? Jameson asks.
"I'll put the birds away, you all go on," she says. Very well. Jameson starts walking towards the entrance. Come on.
"He was making fun of how you said ADHD," Alt explains to Henrik and Jackie as he follows Jameson out.
"No I wasn't- Alt!" Bro cries as he tries to catch up to his brother.
"Oh, was I pronouncing it wrong?" Jackie says, following the rest of them. "Let me try again. Aydihayshdi. Aay-dee-haytsh--dee. Aydihayshdi. Ay dee haych dee. It's a very strange word, am I getting closer?"
“Yeah that sounds good dude,” Bro laughs nervously. “When it’s said fast altogether it kinda sounded like a sneeze-“ He comments and then tries to demonstrate with an exaggerated fake sneeze, mushing all the letters together.
Henrik just rolled his eyes and took up the end of the pack.
Marvin and Chase were indeed at the cooking fire. Dinner was the same as last night--though with slightly different amounts of the meat and slightly different vegetables in the stew. Seems this world wasn't much for variety. Makes sense, when you don't have the luxury of food imported from all over the world. The two of them were talking quietly. It sounded like... something about kids?
Alt grabs some food really fast, not even paying attention to what he’s getting before going to find Marvin and Chase. He blinks as he finds them and tries to walk over quietly. What are they talking about…?
"—it's really not a problem," Chase is saying. "Sure, there's trouble sometimes, but there's trouble with all kids. Just because Amabel is a bit different doesn't mean she's a problem."
"Oh," Marvin says softly. "That's... not how they saw it."
"Well... they're terrible, then," Chase states.
Marvin laughs. "Oh I knew that. Oh!" He jumps a little, noticing Alt. "H-hello, there, uh—hello. I mean, hello. I... see you have food."
"Hey, Alt." Chase smiles. "Good to see you. How are you doing? We're just talking about my kids."
“Oh sorry! I didn’t mean to… intrude-“ Alt says, face flushing red. “We were just trying to find you guys-“
"Why? Did you guys want to do something?" Chase asks. "It's getting a bit too dark for shooting targets. I don't even like to hunt at this time."
At that moment, Jackie hurries over. "I'msorryI'msorryIforgottogetyou!" he shouts. "Okay. So. Basically..." and he proceeds to--impossibly fast--fill in the two of them on the situation. Somehow, they keep up.
Alt looks at him with amazement, “Dude how did you do that- that was impressive.”
Bro hurries over after, having of course, grabbed something to eat to. “What’d I miss?”
“Well these two are caught up.” Alt explains.
"That's... bad," Marvin says. "In so many ways."
Alt looks at Marvin, “…it’s up to you if you wanna join us or not… But I have to warn you that Mag… he might try to go after you.”
“And of course other chase is welcome to join too if he wants!” Bro adds.
"Of course I'm coming," Marvin says, sounding almost arrogant. "I'm our best magic-wielder, and this is somethingvery important."
Henrik and Jameson have joined the group by now. "Are you going to try and kill the King if you come?" Henrik asks.
"...nnnno," Marvin says slowly.
"Really?" Jackie asks, sounding skeptical.
"I'm not going to!" Marvin defends himself. "But I have a question. If the King ends up weak, are we at least going to try and capture him?"
"Oh, of course," Henrik says.
"Hmm. Alright." Marvin nods.
We still need to be careful around him, Jameson says. If he's being controlled, that control will snap once Magnificent leaves this world with these two. And that means he'll be free to exert some control of his own. He shudders.
"Um... I'm coming too," Chase says awkwardly. "I want to help."
Alt sits down and nods, “…I dunno how powerful the King is… but I’m guessing pretty powerful… Mag is powerful too… but it depends on how much magic he can get. I just hope he hasn’t been hurting any innocents…” Alt sighs, poking at his food.
“I’m sure it’s fine, Alt.” Bro reassures him, “Maybe Mag has finally met his match! Like distorter- he gave him a run for his money and he’s all- mental magic-y too!”
"I wouldn't want to meet anyone called the Distorter," Chase mutters.
The King's greatest strength is his mind reading, Jameson says. You won't even realize he's doing it. So at the very least, your Magnificent won't be able to get close to him in disguise.
"Do you... know what... what else he can do, Jameson?" Marvin asks gently.
Jameson pauses. He can subtly influence people to feel or want whatever he wants them to. And if needed, he can command your body with his words. The latter is harder to resist than the former.
Alt shudders at this and grips at his wrist, digging nails into it. “That’s… that’s awful… at least with Mag… I usually know he’s doing it…”
Jameson takes a deep, shuddering breath. It does lead to a lot of anxiety.
"But in a combat situation, it won't matter if he reads our minds, will it?" Chase figures. "I mean, he'll just know we're going to attack. Which--he would know a second later when we actually attack."
“Yeah! That’s a good way to think about it, Other Chase!” Bro exclaims, “mental shit only goes so far! If we need to we can beat the shit out of them and then they can’t use their brains much anymore! Or! We do what Dr. J has been teaching us alt! We just fill our minds with a bunch of nonsense so they can’t grab anything to control!”
Alt nods absent-mindedly, rubbing at his wrist. “…it’ll be tough- facing off against two mental magicians… especially if one of us is extra susceptible…” He grits his teeth, thinking of that trigger Mag used on him in the last world. He didn’t even know he did that!
Jameson looks at Alt and tilts his head. He smiles softly. Don't worry, you won't be the only one.
"You're coming, Jair?" Marvin asks.
I feel like I must. At the very least, I might be able to distract the King. He looks at Bro. Also that's a very good idea when it comes to the King. I know that sort of trick works.
"We still need to know how to get there," Henrik says.
"This time of day we can't do much," Chase points out. "Wandering around in the forest at night is a good way to fall into a stream and catch the shivering."
"Tomorrow, then. We must move at first light to get the most use of it."
Alt blinks, “so all of you are coming? That’s… I dunno why i didn’t think you would…” He smiles. Especially nodding his thanks to Jameson.
“First light- ugh I hope you guys have coffee or something,” Bro groans.
"Kohf--oh! I can ask Nemet!" Henrik says excitedly. "She brought some once, perhaps she has more? Though I'm not sure where she would get some all the way up here."
Bro smiles at Henrik then rubs at the back of his head. “S’not much we can do now then rest and prepare then…”
“yeah…” Alt sighs, looking out at the forest, as if he see Mag and the trouble he’s causing.
"We might even try to bring others, if we can," Jackie says. "But again, not many people will be eager to help the King in any way."
"Unfortunately, yes, rest and prepare." Marvin nods. "I want to help you all get there fast so I should probably rest up right after dinner."
"Let's all do that," Chase says.
“Are you planning on doing that- doorway thing the others mentioned?” Alt asks.
"A magic doorway? Yes." Marvin taps his finger to his amulet. It comes away glowing. He traces a square on the bone with light, and the interior of it disappears, revealing an empty space and a forest floor far below. The box soon disappears. "Imagine that, but big enough for a person. It takes a lot of energy."
“I can imagine…” Alt winces, “…I dunno how compatible our magic is but… hopefully I can help somehow.”
Marvin smiles. "Thank you. I appreciate that. Don't push yourself too hard either. I understand you need your power to get home. Be careful, alright?"
“Yeah… you too.” Alt tells Marvin.
Dinner is finished quickly, and soon, everyone departs for their own tents, ready to rest for tomorrow.
The boys try their best to get rest, but Alt can’t find a way to stop worrying, getting into a very restless sleep.
-----------
The sun is setting through the windows, casting long shadows into the old palace. The King stares out one of them, then turns and heads farther back in. They'd found a series of bedrooms in the west part of the palace.
The King claimed the one in the corner. An easily defensible position for his first night sleeping with a possible traitor nearby. Speaking of whom... "Are you planning on retiring soon?" he asks, turning to Magnificent.
Magnificent has been probably skimming through books or scrolls or whatever is lying around. He waves a hand at the king and nods. Seems like they’re gonna lose light soon anyways. “Oh- I suppose so. The day ends so quickly without electricity… never thought I’d take it so for granted.” He sighs dramatically, flopping onto the bed he claimed.
The King blinks. "I never would've believed your flameless lights that stay on through the night if I hadn't seen them in your memories first." He briefly turns back to the window. "I wonder... is it so bright that it blocks out the stars?"
“Sometimes-“ Mag answers truthfully, “Too many lights make it harder to see them. Depends on how close you live to a city.” He stretches and sighs, “oh this is already so much better than outside-“
The King’s quiet for a moment more, then turns and heads for his own bed. "I'll be sleeping now, too."
Mag opens an eye to study the king. He knows he needs to get a leg up on him before long… but without the king he’d be lost. He needed to get back to the kingdom… where he could rule. Ah, that thought brought a smile to his face.
"The glass does keep out the worst of the weather," the King says. "Which is good. If there is a storm, we'd rather be in here than out in the rain." He lies down. "But I doubt there will be one." And closes his eyes. "A good night, I suppose."
“Hm? Oh yes- …you as well.” Mag felt a bad taste in his mouth saying that. But, best to keep things cordial between him and the king… for now. After a while, Magnificent finally lets his eyes drift shut, curling up on the bed to sleep.

The Jonicles - Entry 22
It is currently the 8th of August, 2022 at 7:10 am on a nice cold Monday morning, and also on a date that has a lot of significance, as it is yet another birthday in the Garfield universe! It's also a public holiday because of the Ekka, but to be honest, the Ekka isn't really all that it's cracked up to be. It is also day #81 of my Jon Arbuckle hyperfixation.
You know, celebrating the birthday of Garfield the cat himself is one thing, as that date is really well-known amongst Garfield fans and is also another anniversary of the comic strip itself, and maybe also celebrating Jon's birthday makes sense because even though his birthday isn't as talked about (unfortunately), I'd argue Jon is the main character of the strip, and because of him being such a major part of Garfield's life. But there's one more player who's also a major character in Garfield's life, and even though he doesn't speak and seems a bit dim-witted, his kind-hearted actions and friendly demeanor show a loyal personality that shines across all dogs - It's Odie's birthday!!
Why am I celebrating the birthday of a fictional dog who seems to have nothing but a bouncing DVD logo floating around in his head? Well, Odie's an important character, of course! Whether Garfield likes it or not, Odie's his friend and a loyal member of Jon's family. First appearing on the 8th of August 1978, Odie is introduced as Lyman's pet dog, moving in with Jon and Garfield, immediately taking a liking to the fat cat. From then on, Odie has been a major part of the Garfield strip, usually being the target of Garfield's pranks and being kicked off the table endlessly, usually being portrayed as an idiot, but even with all the abuse given to him by Garfield, Odie always seems to have a big loving smile on his face and genuinely likes Garfield's company. He's a part of the family, after all, and shows how truly loyal of a dog Odie is. No matter how many times he's being kicked off the table, called stupid, blamed for things he didn't do and had his ears tied in a bow, Odie is still loving and loyal to Garfield. He's truly one of the most friendliest dogs anyone could ever come across.
Despite Odie's seemingly apparent stupidity and absent mindedness, Odie also has a lot more going for him. On the surface, he is simply a slobbering mutt who is overly trusting and naïve, but when one peels away the layers of Odie's façade, it's shown that Odie is actually way more intelligent than he lets on. Like for example, in many episodes of Garfield And Friends, Odie is shown to be able to speak, and although his vocabulary is small, most dogs in the Garfield universe don't verbally speak. Heck, even Garfield can't verbally say any words! It's even in the KaBOOM! Garfield comics and in Garfield Gets Real, showing that Odie is capable of learning and speaking human languages, which is quite the smart feat if I do say so myself.
Odie is also shown in multiple strips to be as cunning and sly as Garfield, often participating in pulling pranks and other practical gags alongside Garfield, in which he often has a devious grin on his face, showing that he indeed does know what micheif he is up to. On top of that, Odie also knows how to read, write and draw, although sometimes the meaning of some words can be lost on him. He can even type on a computer! This means that Odie, though he doesn't show it, is just as smart, if not smarter than the fat cat himself. Odie may sometimes he cowardly and overly trusting, but at the end of the day, Odie is a loyal, friendly and kind creature, capable of not only melting the heart of Garfield, but also melting the hearts of his dear readers as well. Just like Garfield, Odie has been with us through thick and thin, and even with the disappearance of his dear owner Lyman, Odie has lived on and soldiered through the years, aging along with Garfield, Jon and us respectively.
Odie, you are truly the beacon of kindness in this world of heartache and hatred, and truly the most loyal dog to ever be. You've stuck with Garfield and Jon for over 40 years, and you've stuck with us for over 40 years. You love your family dearly, and they love you back. Your kindness and friendliness has lead hundreds and thousands of people, including me, to absolutely love you as a character. So Odie, have a happy birthday, my friend. Your kindness has earned you a good one, little buddy :). If Lyman were here, he'd be so proud of you…
Last edited at 8:02 am. Happy birthday, Odie :)
Cheers,
Your Local Jonnoisseur

Dirge & Relationships // @dirgeforthedead
Most of this I am taking straight from plotting with my friend @banefulbenevolence , so I'm just hoping it all make sense.
GENERAL
Dirge has some amount of difficulty, both with expressing herself to others--especially before she is prepared to be fully open and vulnerable with them, but to some extent even beyond that. She spent most of her life being only a weapon and an instruments. Those don't need feelings, opinions, or a voice. They don't even really need thoughts except within the parameters of The Mission. Feelings still puzzle and bamboozle her on a regular basis, and she often has to sit down and really, really give thought to what she's feeling, sort through it. Sometimes she can name it, sometimes she can't. She is, however, capable of feeling very strongly, and not only with negative emotions but with positive ones as well. Sitting down to write the Prayer for Forgiveness was not a quick operation. She agonized and deliberated over that letter, really thought about what she was feeling and even then she could only come up with 'admire'... and then had to further decide how best to justify the feeling to someone who would no doubt see it at best as a weakness and at worst as a threat to The Mission. I have mentioned before that Dirge is very cat-like. This is evident even and perhaps especially when it comes to relationships.
FRIENDSHIPS
Dirge is a surprisingly loyal friend. Though it isn't the easiest feat to become her friend--especially prior to the tadpole--once it does happen, you are fairly well stuck with her outside of something worldview-altering.
With this comes the fact that you also have a protective, not-so-little murder cat who will often be your shadow. Scary Dog Privilege? Nah. That's for amateurs.
She may be a bit clumsy with friendship, but it does mean the world to her after so long alone. [ What's more, she very much feels that she has to deserve that friendship, and she will work hard for it, even if she is clumsy. ]
Dirge's way of expressing platonic love is probably a strange mix to two of the five: acts of services and gift giving. She doesn't really need or utilize words of affirmation much if at all. In fact, prior to her and Gortash striking up a friendship, she didn't really talk much at all. It still isn't first nature to her, or even really second. She will, however, bring friends things that she knows they like and--if one counts murdering people who threaten them or taking hits intended for them, then acts of service also applies. Quality time is also a close second to the other two because she can quite happily sit and just be with a friend or friends. It just is a bit more 'on her terms'. Sometimes she's happy to sit with others. Sometimes she wants to be literally anywhere else.
More to that. Though she is not much of a talker unless she knows she has something to say, but she will happily sit and listen to someone she cares about for however long without complaint.
If she is particularly close with someone, she will have a tendency to stand quite close to them and her tail will usually just barely tilt toward them.
ROMANCE
One of the most clearly visible cases of how cat-like Dirge is can perhaps be most clearly seen in romantic relationships. Some of what I'm referencing will be specifically from what my friend and I have come across during plotting. This part of the post is longer just because we've spent a lot of time exploring what this looks like with them. [ Though, of course, any and everything is subject to plotting/different takes with anyone here! This is just sharing a bit based on what we came up with. ]
While jealousy isn't quite the right word--she never once would think that her person would cheat on her--there is a certain amount of territorial nature to her, as well as protectiveness. For my friend, this manifested while Gortash was messing around with the Nobles. Any time he would come back, he would have a Dirge very much just on him. Not even with any intent just. He smells like them and that is unacceptable and must be fixed.
For that matter, having Dirge just on you in general isn't much of a stretch. If you're her person and you're sitting somewhere, she will very likely be on your lap or as close to being as possible, if you have no issue with it. Again, she isn't really trying for anything. She just. Likes being close. [ Particularly if she is having big--and more so with positive--feelings about something that she can't quite articulate. ] If you're lying down, she's almost certainly lying on you, if you can take the weight [ despite her being the larger build ], probably with her face tucked against your neck.
While on the subject of closeness, Dirge can honestly take or leave sex. What she craves more than anything is just closeness, intimacy in a more general sense. [ When it is sex, she's mostly up for whatever her partner wants, but her preference of positions is anything that gives the most contact possible. ] Closeness is how she feels, in a way, and how she expresses her feelings when she can't say them. It is certainly also how she feels the safest and what best helps her to anchor.
Back to the matter of protectiveness though, she is very protective, and, in the case of my friend's Gortash, that also manifests in an extreme dislike of the people who fawned over him and lusted after him and had the audacity to think that they deserved him when all they saw was a pretty plaything to make them feel better about themselves, not his brilliant mind or his sharply-honed skills--at tinkering and in other arenas. The fact that Lady Janneth is not only still breathing but still possesses both of her hands is a testament to Dirge's level of control honestly, because she could have killed the woman and never batted an eyelash.
Over the course of their partnership, gift-giving would be something I would tack onto her love languages, in addition to those listed above and physical touch, also as mentioned above. This was, in large part, because any time she finds a trinket that had some sort of "protection against [insert whatever danger here]" she would bring it to her partner--sometimes still a bit bloody but, y'know, it's the thought that counts. With my friend, we headcanon that Dirge gave Gortash the cane seen in-game because it has a hidden blade in it--which had caught Dirge by surprise when she went to kill its original owner. She wants her person protected from any dangers--herself included.
She is genuinely the most trusting of her person. The thought never crosses her mind that they would betray her in anyway.
Honestly, with my friend's Gortash, it is the first time she's ever felt like that and it shows. As much for her confusion about what she's feeling and uncertainty about what most would consider standard relationship things... as for the fact that she really does love just so wholly. When she loves, she loves fully and without reservation, even if she cannot quite give name to it without assistance.
In a trusting and committed romance, that is where some of her less INTENSE qualities start to show, as she can be somewhat playful when she feels safe. [ Which, unfortunately, also runs up to and includes her being a bit of a brat sometimes when she gets agitated or just feels like it. Case in point, letting the intrusive thoughts win and giving Gortash a Chomp on the arm or shoulder because he was too busy and ignoring her when she was trying to get his attention. Bad enough to cause serious injury? No but maybe draw a little blood. BUT. ] Like I said. Cat-like.
Honestly--at least with my friend's Gortash this is the case-- though you might expect hardcore, BDSM, etc. , truthfully? Straight from a message with my friend [with only minor edits for clarity]: She ends up hurting him sometimes in general when she can't control herself, or when he can't anticipate what craziness she might do the times when she does lose control or it frays a bit—not that it's his fault because how COULD he possibly anticipate everything. But… she hates associating that so strongly with him, the times when she messes up and she hurts him or almost does. SO I was just thinking about them lying in bed and Enver asleep… And I was thinking where I was talking about Dirge being so MINDFUL of being careful when she's placing the ring on his finger after she's still trying to come down from one of her Episodes [ NOTE: I'll explain that in another post at some point ]… It got me considering… I think her absolute favorite thing… is when they're lying in bed and he's still asleep… and she can just… so very carefully trace her fingers along his skin, trace along his face. Just so featherlight with a sort of deliberate, very intentional softness? ... AND ALSO THIS ONE [ that does talk more about sex, in reference to that conversation about the Crown ]: I am once again thinking about the fact that even when Enver gives Dirge that power over him, allows her to domme, as long as she's With It? She never hurts him. And she never tries to make him feel lesser. She domme and she bosses and she tell him what he can and can't do. But it's always done with the sole intent of taking care of him. He has all kinds of little scars and hurts. Everybody else hurts him or has hurt him. She doesn't want to be everybody else. Just like he treats her differently from anyone she's ever known.... He's important to her. The Most Important. So when he lets her and when she's with it and able, she is so deliberately Sof. And, honestly, knowing what she can do with her bare hands, it should speak volumes that she touches him so gently, what she can do with those nails and yet she just traces them featherlight over his skin. That's not to say they don't get hot and heavy or break things in the room ever but, when he gives her this [ level of control and trust ], it's special, so she treats it that way and treats him that way.
Whether platonic or romantic, it should definitely be noted that Dirge will live, die, kill, maim, or spare anyone at the behest of her friend or lover. She is a creature of extremes, and there is no too far she would not entertain for those about whom she cares.

Taylen
Tumblr media
It Starts With Hello
Taylen’s point of view on how she met this person.
Normally here in the interviews I will conduct, I would begin by saying how I met this person. Although I feel that “of course I’ve known myself for my entire life”, I feel as though I still have some growing to do with learning different parts about myself and hobbies that I still have yet to discover. Instead, I want to share an excerpt from my diary in 2019, where I visualized different aspects of myself in the form of various ghost-like figures.
Taylen that Everyone Knows: Wants to be everyone’s friend, gives you the biggest smile.
Coach Taylen: The cool coach on the pool deck that can’t be bothered when wearing sunglasses.
Studious Taylen: Always in the zone and pushes up her imaginary glasses (cause she doesn’t have any glasses).
Hipster Taylen: Really loves music and has an interesting sense of style.
Friendly Taylen: Kind of rare, but if you break her shell then she shines.
Taylen that Only Taylen Knows: Quiet, shy and quite introverted actually.
This or That
You can only choose one…
Salty or Sweet
Winter or Summer
Air Guitar or Air Drums
Coffee or Tea
Dogs or Cats // I love dogs, but cats have been pretty special to me lately
Sleeping or Eating
Five Facts of Fun
What are 5 facts about yourself?
I am a former competitive swimmer and water polo player. This past summer I won a gold medal at our regional championship! I also coach and teach younger swimmers about the sport!
I know how to play about 7 different instruments and I’ve played piano for 12 years before I stopped to pursue other passions. Slowly I am trying to get back into music with posting more covers on social media.
Crocs are my go-to shoes for the past few years and I highly recommend on the pool deck. I’ve slipped and had some pretty bad falls from other shoes, but I have not slipped once with crocs #sportsmode
If there’s a hobby has any creative elements, I’m willing to try it!
In my opinion, pineapple does belong on pizza.
Drop a Bop
Pick a song that is the theme song to your life and discuss why.
I think I found this song on the radio and I was like, “Yes. This is it. This is my theme song.” This song is always my pick-me-up when I need a mood booster and I think it’s also quite catchy. With the lyrics, I like to interpret it as that sometimes people always see what you are capable of until you shine in that spotlight. It’s then people can see how much skill or “power” you hold and that yeah… maybe you are dangerous…
Debate Time
What is your perspective on the following question: Is the ocean soup?
Yes the ocean is soup. It’s got the veggies of seaweed, it’s got the protein of the fish and other species. It’s in a body of water. Mmmm, soup.
Some Deeper Small Talk
Chosen from a group of questions, the person answered the following question: What have I accomplished recently that would have shocked me a year ago?
I’m going to change this question to “What would have shocked me 5 years ago?”. 5 years ago, I was wrapping up high school and getting ready to start university. At the time, I quit my coaching job with competitive swimming and thought that I would just think about finding my way with pursuing something within my career after that and I would not really return back to sports again after quitting my personal journey a couple years prior. It wasn’t really until my time with reconnections with people I knew within the sports I played that they talked me back into coaching with teams based in other cities from my hometown. At the time I was hesitant, but I knew that with the qualifications that I already had from the past that I knew I was already more than capable to take on the job. Flash forward to 5 years later, I’m still coaching and just wrapped up a busy competitive summer season. Though in taking these jobs and switching to a couple of new teams, these experiences helped me grow as a person and as a coach; largely from the people I’ve met and the opportunities that I’ve now experienced. Sometimes it’s worth taking the chance and I think if I told myself in the past where I am now, she would be incredibly shocked at how far we have come so far.
The Final Spotlight
If you had the final opportunity to say anything to the world, what would you say?
Things can change very quickly and can happen unexpectedly, so live in the moment, appreciate what you currently have and enjoy it while you can.

Loading times are also quite long, as the loading consists of rendering a large field as well as the option to instantly load. There are a lot of scenes in the two story modes, but each scene lasts a few minutes at the most (excluding screw ups). The story portrays itself as scenarios where Turner must defeat all the enemies in the area, or accomplish platforming through the use of parkour. With a ten-year development cycle, I did expect more from the story mode. Making your own game engine is an impressive feat for any developer. The wolves are a unique set of enemies that have clear distinct advantages over Turner, but a knowledge of the combat system can make quick work of these supposedly overwhelming foes. The enemy variety is small and contains others like rats, cats, dogs, and terrifying wolves. In a way, this evens out the playing field. The most interesting aspect about the combat system is that almost every attack and weapon that Turner can use, his enemies can use as well. Damage by hand-to-hand combat can be rather inconsistent at times, but in a way, it feels like real life, and I personally like that aspect, as it adds a uniqueness to Overgrowth that very few games have. Turner can use weapons to dispatch his enemies, such as knives, swords, and rapiers. In most situations if there are simply too many enemies to fight, one can take a stealthy approach to eliminate them one by one. Rolling and jumping play an important role in combat as well. As stated previously, attacking is dependent on how close or far your enemies are, and if you are unarmed or not. Even though the game only uses one button to attack, it has such an attention to detail that it never feels repetitive. The combat of Overgrowth is nothing I’ve ever experienced in a game. I would very much like to see a parkour based platform game use this engine one of these days. The sense of weight carried is utilized masterfully and I found myself in many cases simply just jumping around in the world. Characters will move faster and slower depending on the trajectory of the terrain, and jumping cannot be altered once the motion is carried. Everything, from the fighting to the way movement is used is tied to the engine. Phoenix relies very heavily on physics for both its movement and combat system, and both are woven together wonderfully in a grand display. The Phoenix Engine is the engine used by the developers, and one that was developed in-house. Moral Warnings: Blood, violence and murder fantasy racism

Weak Points: Long loading times huge levels not used to their full advantage too reliant on mod support Strong Points: A simple, yet intricate combat system and physics engine Steam Workshop support All the actions can rebind to something else if the default controls are too weird or uncomfortable. It takes some time getting used to the odd scheme, but it really does make sense once everything starts to click together. The camera is operated by the mouse or right control stick, and most of your actions such as attacking, jumping, and rolling are used by the mouse buttons or bumpers and triggers on the controller. As Turner is a rabbit, most attacks will use his feet, but he sometimes uses his fists as well.Ī strange set of controls, Overgrowth is operated similar to a first or a third-person shooter rather than a typical 3D action game. Depending on how you move, and how close you are to the enemy, you will use different attacks. What separates Overgrowth from other action games is that your attacks are all context-sensitive. The story is merely an excuse to have situations where our rabbit friend can lay the smackdown on whoever happens to be in the way of his ignoble journey. Overgrowth (a sequel to Lugaru) stars an anthropomorphic rabbit named Turner who, after he witnessed the murder of his friends and family, and went on a quest to avenge them, is now trying to find a new purpose in his life in the corrupt world he lives in. It took them a long time, but they finally managed to release Overgrowth. During that time frame, the developers of Wolfire Games decided on quite the ambition: to create a context-sensitive action game based on their previous game, Lugaru (Loo-Gah-Roo). In 2008, I was just getting out of middle school and going into high school, and now far past the days of college. Thank you Humble Bundle for sending us this game to review.
