More incorrect quotes with my little genderbent MK series I'm working on. :>

Jeanie (fem! Johnny), looking through her clothes: Has anyone seen my top?

Kuixiang (fem! Kuai Liang): Kiyoko is in the kitchen.

Hanae (fem! Hanzo): Is there a cactus where your heart should be?

Kiyoko (fem! Kenshi), sipping coffee: What crawled up your ass this morning?

Kuixiang, walking in: Hey

Kiyoko: Hm.. nevermind.

Hanae: OHMYGODNO

Tomoe (fem! Takeda): Well, remember when Jiā Yǐng made a romantic dinner for me?

Frost: Tomoe, she microwaved you a pizza.

Jiā Yǐng (fem! Kung Jin): I am decayed. My lungs are full of thorns and mildew. My bones are held together by vines. I am fragile. Be gentle with my corpse.

Tomoe: Get out of bed, you're going to the meeting whether you like it or not.

Jiā Yǐng : I REFUSE.

Carter (male! Cassie): Do you think different paints have different tastes?

Jiā Yǐng: They do.

Tomoe: ...Why did you say that with such certainty?

Frost: What’s your favorite color?

Carter: Stop asking stupid questions. Ask me something logical and mature.

Frost: How many moles of sodium bicarbonate are needed to neutralize 0.8ml of sulfuric acid at STP?

Carter : My favorite color is pink.

Jaylen (male! Jacqui): Kinda gay to make a wanted poster... Why do you want that man? So you can hold him?

Frost: Yeah. Hold him accountable.

Jaylen: Hold him accountable for stealing your heart?

Carter: Astrology is fun because i can pretend that all of my behaviors are just a result of being a Gemini and not symptoms of mental illness.

Jiā Yǐng: Being a Gemini is a mental illness. That’s not hate it’s just a fact.

Tomoe: Did you bring Jiā Yǐng ?

Frost, gesturing to Carter : No, but I brought the next best thing.

Tomoe: Carter ? The next best thing would be Jaylen.

Carter : I would be offended, but Jaylen is freakishly strong.

Jiā Yǐng : I can do anything I put my mind to. I once figured out Jaylen's phone number just by choosing random numbers.

Carter : When I met you I thought you were a real bitch.

Jiā Yǐng : What changed your mind?

Carter : Oh, I still think you’re a bitch, I’ve just grown to like that about you.

Cyrax, texting Sektor: Who are you? Someone changed all my contact names.

Sektor: What did they change my name to?

Cyrax: Batman.

Sektor: Don't change it back.

Cyrax: But who the fuck are you?

Sektor: I'm Batman.

Sektor: What are you drinking?

Cyrax: Vodka.

Sektor: Straight?

Cyrax: No, gay. Why?

Cyrax: You look mentally ill.

Sektor: I am. Let’s go.

Kiyoko: Can I have some?

Hanae, mouth full of cheesecake: It's really spicy, you wouldn't like it.

Kiyoko: If we lose, you’re out of the will.

Hanae: I was in the will?

Kuixiang: Are you ready to commit?

Hanae: Like, a crime or a relationship?

Kuixiang: Where's the most romantic spot for a first kiss? Wrong answers only.

Hanae: Dueling grounds.

Kuixiang: I said wrong answers only.

Kiyoko: I truly go into housewife mode when I'm someone's soulmate- like, I'll make you pancakes and bacon every morning.

Jeanie: This is a lie.

Jeanie: I'm literally dating her. This is a lie.

Jeanie: SHE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO COOK A PANCAKE, WHAT IS THIS.

Jeanie: I'm not gay, but you look hot today.

Kiyoko: We're literally dating.

Jiā Yǐng: Do you think if skeletons were real, "Boner" would be a slur for them?"

Kung Lán (f! Kung Lao): ... Jiā Yǐng, I have wonderful news regarding the realness of skeletons.

Kung Lán: Don’t worry, I have a permit.

Jiā Yǐng: ...This just says “I can do what I want”.

Kung Lán: Like, no offense to myself and all, but what the fuck am I actually doing?

Kung Lán: Is it just me or is instant ramen even better uncooked?

Lú Kang: It’s just you.

Lú Kang: If all your friends jumped off a bridge wou-

Kung Lán: Probably.

Lú Kang: I didn't finish.

Kung Lán: Probably.

Sektor: If karma doesn't hit you, I fucking will.

Raiden: Well, well, well, if it isn’t the consequences of my actions.

Alright I was asked to make a list of all the The Garages songs I associate with life series things so I have done that

A few notes:

Songs are in no particular order (mostly just sorted by album as I was going through listening to them all)

All song titles (in color) are links to the respective songs, so you can listen to them :3

These songs are all worth listening to but my absolute favorites are marked in orange

Let me know what you think! I’ve been waiting so long to talk extensively about this :)))))) <- going to explode

list is below the cut because this got loooong

Astro Astronomodome’s Garages Life Series Playlist:

Eyes in the Dark- *gestures vaguely* how am I gonna live with these eyes in the dark when they’re following me around and they’re following you around 👍 and there’s nowhere you can go that they’re not there 👍

Jaylen Hotdogfingers Settles The Score- limited life winner martyn in thy little wood I am so normal about you <- lie

Godspeed- TIES sending off Skizz… see you space cowboy

Curse of Crows- third life grian-core, you know, when he was green and couldn’t actually kill but he and scar were going around being vaguely threatening. You could maybe use the crows in this as a metaphor for red life scar. Also birds

Relief Pitcher (Leave It On The Field)- Extremely strong vibes but I’m not sure of what. Maybe last life martyn? In the final battle? Idk. Maybe every martyn. I ljke him. (anyway this song changed my brain chemistry permanently so it deserves a place in the list regardless)

rooting for you- I’m delusional, bdubs is a species of plant, and ethubs is wlw. what is a nature wives

we had a season- ok this is THE desert duo song. No song will ever end of double life we’ve-spent-so-much-time-dancing-around-each-other-and-now-we-have-nothing-left-but-each-other desert duo as hard as this song. I have a very detailed AMV in my head of this so you know I’m right. It’s even a duet… ‘we had a season, we had a year/between when I died and when I reappeared’ (there’s almost exactly a year between grian’s last third life episode and scar’s first double life episode. I checked for this reason specifically and it killed me instantly) PLEASE just listen to this one ‘I had my reasons, I had my fears/I had my pride (I still had tears in my eyes as I died)’

dead ringer- just as the previous song is The desert duo song, this is The red king ren song. It slaps and the vibes are perfect. ‘my skin is made of energy, my blood is made of fire/I am what will happen when your best-made plans backfire’

hexed- very much post-3rd life watcher grian. pretty self-explanatory

The Alternate- ‘I’m new but I’ve seen so much/I’m old but I was not there’ do I even need to say it. Gem-as-Cleo and Lizzie-as-Pearl (‘I’ve done this once before’)

gamer grindset- yeah this is The Life Series Joel Song. you can fight me on this but you don’t have to because I know I’m right

a leap of faith- reminds me of scar. nothing in particular it just has similar vibes

haunted- ok now this is a Real watcher grian kind of song. ‘my body is a temple/for the gods of other men/wielded as a weapon by foes I swore I’d never be again’ ok. edgy bird moment

she’s dead and i’m someone else- this one requires some interpretation but I’ve always seen it was team BEST mourning the loss of bdubs. However it could also be applied to almost every ten in the life series that lost a member early lol

Mike Townsend (feels the shadows call)- specifically last life shadow alliance martyn but any martyn in general fits. he’s having a bad time

INCINERATE- just like. Being on your red life in general and the bloodlust and manic energy that brings. 😛 (edit after the finale: OKAY I KNOW THERES SO MANY LIMITED LIFE MARTYN SONGS BUT THIS IS ALSO ONE OF THEM ‘I know how to win this/I don’t need to play your games/I’m just gonna dance now/I’ll show you how to deal with pain’ ‘every day’s getting worse and we’re starting to choke/‘cause the water in the air is getting stuck in our throats’ LIKE COME ON MAN)

Sidelined- limited life skizz you will always be famous ‘am I just another wash-out/am I damned to go out swinging/I can’t hear you from the dugout/is there anyone else singing for me’ I am singing! I am singing for you skizzleman!!!!!!!!!

Firewalker With Me- the song. The myth. The legend. It’s just such a great song and it’s about life series grian’s curse of killing the people he cares most about. Grian is a parker if you think about it <- mentally ill (special note- ‘nobody deserves to be called a curse/but if you’re gonna resist I’m happy to make things worse’ is grian accidentally getting jimmy final-killed first in limited life btw)

We’ve Got History- not to be that guy but desert duo. Ok

New Year, Same Me- martyn.

The Return- the start of a new life series! Seeing old friends again! Missing friends who couldn’t make it (cough cough martyn missing ren in limited life cough cough)! Playing the game! Living and loving despite the horrors!

A Horrible Mistake We Will Make Again And Again- grian grian grian. Grain. The bird boy. Also easily one of my favorite Garages song titles. ‘If I don’t know the limits, how am I gonna break them?/If you think that we’re kidding well then you’re sorely mistaken’

The First Ain’t The Last- canary curse activated! Honestly the entirety of this album is just the average life series lmao ‘and one day you’ll wake up/and from the ashes a phoenix will rise/and she’ll hit like a champ/and burn out bright before your eyes’

The Ballad of Unremarkable Derrick Krueger- another one that definitely has life series vibes (and is just a really good song) but that I just can’t place. I want to say Tango honestly because he always has been somewhat painfully mediocre and has famously always final-deathed in underwhelming and meaningless ways

Rise- this is the Cleo song. Epic. Thank you Cleo :) Joe can be the monitor in this scenario I think he’d be good at it

RIV- does anyone still remember that part of martyn’s last life lore where the mysterious voice was promising that he would get to see jimmy mumbo and impulse again if he followed its instructions? Well……

Hell’s Game- Blaseball is a death game and this song leans into that so naturally it fits pretty well with the life series as a whole. Would make a great AMV

5am Shift- Ok bear with me here. This doesn’t really fit Pearl other than the song title (lol) and maybe you can make some parallels to cleaning lady Pearl but it gives me her vibes. Plus it’s just a whole jazzy banger and one of my favorite songs so it’s going here anyway :)

Nullified- for the end of limited life. pretty self-explanatory ‘wasted all my minutes/trying to stay alive/and look where it got me/I’m just the last one nullified’ honestly worked better before the actual finale because martyn was more manic about it than this song would imply

STRIKEOUT!- life series mumbo my horrible wet cat. this song is a little weird but it suits him I think

The Tug- they never left the desert.

SUN 2- obligatory flower husbands song for all the flower husbands enjoyers out there. Time to go cry I guess

flooding/drowning- big impdubs moment. Or honestly just any of bdubs’s life series exes reminiscing… ‘and you’re angry when the energy rises to meet you/like the life rafts are disrespectful to the sea’ is the most life series bdubs thing I’ve ever heard

REMEMBERTHEM- very good and classic anti-watcher song. If c!martyn was just a little more aware of his situation I think this would fit better (honestly a lot of good garages songs just don’t fit very well because we haven’t quite reached the ‘let’s kill the watchers’ stage of the lore yet lmaooo)

Nothing Happens Every Day- tfw when no life series 🥺 could also be martyn because he loves to kill <3

historic season nine party time speedrun and associated records- mean gills vibes. a nice quiet evening in the coral isles, reminiscing

Mike Townsend Is A Disappointment- I’m so sorry Jimmy but it fits too well

Bonus! Hermitcraft-adjacent songs:

Storm’s Raging- moon big. the long, slow, inevitable end of the world. Bdubs looking up at the sky as it falls on him. the lyrics kick ass as well: ‘there were days when it all seemed never ending/when all you could hear was the forecasts, the fear/and the sound of the cloudline bending’ (and the way it speeds up at the end……. omg)

howling at twin moons- s8 scar. I will not elaborate

alaynabella hollywood- ariana griande <- wait who said that

golden- rentheking arc I love you :3 viva la revolution

Sincerely, The Collateral- hermitcitizen song tbh

Beep or Bleat- despite the EXTREMELY zedaph-coded song title this is actually end-of-season 8 tango moon landing-core. ‘do we possess a soul/does it exceed the speed of light/can it escape black holes/do we still have a chance to fight’

Nut Economy- another rentheking arc song. You can tell when I started watching HC from this can’t you. Well. Royal emeralds I miss you :(

Morning is Coming- HONESTLY if I had the ability to make AMVs this would be top of my list. It’s just so… so much. Escaping moon big at the end of season 8… I know it’s overdone at this point but it’s rotating around in my head all the time. What does it say about me that there are two moon big songs here and they’re both my favorites…

fourteen days is not enough for my screams to reach your ears- another tango lost in space at the end of season 8 song. it messed me up ok

psychoacoustics- I love convex* *DISCLAIMER: 99% of the convex knowledge I have comes from fan interpretation alone. Alternatively I could just be really trying to manifest a zedaph villain arc

oliver mueller (is a hero)- docm77 for several reasons which will become apparent almost immediately

hello world- grumbot I love you :] (putting in a different version so you can tell what the lyrics are without subtitles and I’m sorry because this version of the song is somewhat worse. they just start singing godspeed in the middle of it for some reason and like I’m not complaining I love that song but also why) (here’s the original version)

the entire kansas city breath mints team failed the bar exam- hermitcraft. no elaboration is necessary

Is Dark Boston where the Boston Thorns came from? I wrote the community history mirror verse article on the wiki but I had a hell of a time finding more about that particular city. Would you mind talking about what it was like?

HI HELLO yeah it's where the thorns are from!

dark boston is like. a maritime eldritch horror version of boston basically. to copypaste a discord message of mine describing it:

the harbor flooded all of the city that was at ground level, and what's left is all built on floating islands above it. (there's some buildings underwater, where fenmaids and other aquatic folk live, but it's dangerous down there.) the sky overhead is always overcast, usually thunderstorming; the waters below are always in a roil. the Garden is at the city's center, and what were once the walls of a normal stadium are now covered in dark, razor-thorned vines as big around as trees. the streets are lit with lanterns and purplish-blue neon

despite the differences in their city, the thorns themselves started off as the flowers, and they stayed the flowers all the way until the end of season 7, when they got relegated – or, at least, when they were supposed to get relegated. (shoutout to sonder n. @bread--quest millennials for coming up with this idea, it's an extremely good one.) the garden, you see, is protective of its players across all dimensions. it's not clear what exactly happened when the thorned vines swallowed the stadium walls, and whether any of the Entities in the harbor had anything to do with it; but on paper, at least, the flowers were relegated, and the thorns are their replacement that just so happens to have an entire roster that shares their names with their predecessors. how accurate that is to reality? well. depends on who you ask.

the thorns have even higher levels of plant body horror than the flowers, and instead of growth, their signature team mod is overgrowth, which allows them to blooddrain their opponents in any weather! despite the horrors, they're generally good people who are trying their best, although certain players are definitely more morally ambiguous than others (scores baserunner, for instance). they're also very actively anticapitalist, trying to take down the Capitalist Teams and eventually the league as an entity, and have a particularly strong enmity with the $NYC millionaires on account of proximity.

miscellaneous thorns facts:

friends with the miami armada in a Mutual Cartoon Violence way

margarito nava used to date thomas dracaena back in season 1 before the millennials became the millionaires. they're worst enemies now

it is sometimes difficult to tell which bits of thorns lore are intentionally-horror mirrorverse stuff and which are just flowers lore that's basically unchanged

the thorns still have a robot copy of jaylen hotdogfingers, but rather than the result of jaylen's alternation, she's the result of the party line blessing. her name is jayliin and she is a menace

i found blaseball in season 3.

the very end of season 3, and i remember i only found it because one of the NITW creators tweeted something along the lines of “ok i’ll bite what’s blaseball” and i went “what IS blaseball?” and i Googled it and suddenly there i was

i picked the Garages because i always have been and always will be a Seattlite at heart - i remember briefly deliberating over the Tacos (who were just the LA Tacos at the time!) and a couple other teams, but the Seattle pull was too strong

i remember that i joined either very late on Saturday or very early on Sunday - it was post the s3 finals because i remember seeing the Tigers as the s3 champions, but it was pre-election because i remember casting my lone vote for Eat the Rich

but this was RIGHT before the first siesta, and i had no idea what the timeline of a season looked like, and i went “well i guess i’ll check back in later” and then basically completely forgot about it for the next couple weeks and might’ve forgotten forever if i hadn’t seen another tweet from someone when it came back.

i remember watching my very first game on the bus to work. i think i must’ve missed the first day of games, i think it must’ve been a Tuesday, because i caught the bus at like 7am and i remember seasons not starting until 8am on Mondays. i watched the Garages play the Crabs (Garages lost). i remember falling in love with Avila Guzman and Allison Abbott and Malik Destiny (pre-catboyification!) based on nothing but vibes because i didn’t know anything about blaseball lore, i didn’t even know blaseball HAD lore. i think i found the Discord later that day, and i remember the Avila-Farrell feedback happening right around the time i joined the Discord.

i got my best friend into it at the same time and it turned into a hyperfixation for both of us. i remember sitting in their living room watching the finals for s4 while our partners sat by slightly befuddled by this thing that had suddenly taken over our lives.

i moved a couple hours away for grad school at the beginning of Sept 2020 and it was possibly the most miserable time of my life. i was lucky enough to be with family at least, but i was away from my now-husband and because of COVID everything was online and i am NOT a person who does well with online courses - when i had applied in fall of 2019 i had obviously assumed everything would be in-person. i had multiple meltdowns the first few months and blaseball was often the only bright spot.

the Jaylen necromancy, oh man. i remember when i first started looking up our lore and went “i missed out on a player named Jaylen Hotdogfingers????” she loomed so large over the Garages those first few seasons. her death kind of set the tone for us, especially as we kept losing players - every team wanted to fight the gods, but it felt so viscerally PERSONAL. and then one day i opened the website and saw her on the idol board with the little flaming skull next to her name.

i cannot even begin to describe the chaos i walked into when i opened the Discord and went to the Garages channel. it was just something you had to be there for. i was IMMEDIATELY team necromancy, because what was blaseball all about if not slamming big red buttons? and i figured if we didn’t, someone else would, so it might as well be us. a lot of folks felt the same. some didn’t. my mom called me at one point and asked me why i was talking about necromancy on Twitter. the Garages, obviously, decided to go for it. we had to try.

and at the same time, the Garages, somehow, were finally becoming a decent team. we made the playoffs for the first time in season 6. Jaylen’s final words, as per lore, were “we’ve just gotta make it to the playoffs.” we swept the Pies and Tigers - both former 2 time champions - to get to the finals. Mike Townsend, he who lived always in Jaylen’s shadow, threw out the first pitch of the first game of the finals. the Crabs swept us but we didn’t care. we had made it to the playoffs. we could do ANYTHING. we could bring our star pitcher back. and we did.

god, i’m just telling stories now, but to be fair blaseball is nothing BUT stories. i remember i spent a lot of that weekend in bed sleeping and crying because i was so depressed, but i pulled myself out of it enough to watch the election results roll in. to see Jaylen come home. to see Mike truly relegated to Jaylen’s shadow.

on Ruby Tuesday i was busy trying to unpack my room with my mom’s help. i took a break to check in on blaseball. games weren’t running even though they should’ve been. i scrolled through the game feed until i hit the Tigers-Moist Talkers game and realized just what we’d done, what Jaylen’s debt truly meant.

i didn’t always remember to watch the playoffs if the Garages weren’t in them, but i was watching when the Shoe Thieves reverse-swept the Crabs and were launched into a boss battle. Jaylen pitching against the puppets of a God. (the results of the Snackrifice.)

i cried when Jaylen went back to the Hall, even though i was sure her story wasn’t done. (and it wasn’t.)

the s11 finals between the Beams and Garages was one of the most emotionally draining things i’ve ever been through. we KNEW the Beams had us beat but the Sun 2/Black Hole shenanigans kept us holding on. i cried when we finally lost. and then the Keepers opened up the eternal concert in the Discord, and for hours there were hundreds of us packed in there, listening to Garages songs that sounded like you were hearing them played at a dive bar down the street because the quality was so bad and “singing” along, and eventually Get Normal came up, and everyone had been waiting for it, and. i don’t know. god, i cried so much. something about that moment of connection. something about the closest to a concert i’d experienced in a year. something about knowing it was the literal end of an era.

i don’t even know where to start with expansion. yeah it was an exhausting mess. my hyperfixation fucking LOVED it. i may have to do an expansion era retrospective/ramble separately because this is already too damn long, and expansion was SO much. for now i’ll just say that i will carry the way the Garages handled the final season of expansion with me for the rest of my life. it was so… poignant. watching us cling to our philosophy of “the Garage is always open” even though we KNEW we were inviting our own potential destruction through the door. choosing containment because we refused to save ourselves at the expense of the league but we could at least make sure the damage started and ended with us. making a beeline for the Hall because at the end of it we just wanted to go see our friends one more time.

i’ve mentioned this before, but when we melted the Coin i was at a minor league baseball game. it was the first game i had been to in probably four or five years and it was the first time i can remember actively CARING about baseball as an adult. i work for that minor league team now and i absolutely would not be doing that if not for blaseball.

god. i’m so, so sad. i will miss blaseball for the rest of my life. what a weird little piece of the internet i was blessed to partake in.

#blaseball #this is so long i am so sorry #i am just so deeply sad #i'm still not even sure it's fully hit me #i don't know when it will

Just realized I didn’t do another quarterfinal round, so here it is. (Sorry about that, I thought it was already queued)

The Most Character Ever Tournament- Quarterfinals Set 4

In this tournament, we will be searching to find the most character ever! I challenge you to decide on an adjective before you see the characters and stick with it throughout all the polls. I go a bit more into detail in this post.

Phoenix Wright from Ace Attorney

Claimed to be the most silly, bisexual, and loving <3 by the people who submitted him

Has defeated Mole, Jaylen Hotdogfingers, Kirby, and Dazai Osamu

“ummmm he became a lawyer because a guy he met in elementary school became a lawyer”

“silly little lawyer. he may be a little dense sometimes but he has a big heart.”

Barry the Chopper from Fullmetal Alchemist (manga and Brotherhood)

Claimed to be the most comic relief serial killer and catboy by the person who submitted him

Has defeated Luz Noceda, Spock, Louise Belcher, and Kanatsune Ame

“well hes a middle aged butcher-turned-serial killer who chopped 23 people to death with a big knife and then got sent to death row but instead of being executed he got his soul ripped out of his body and bound to a suit of armor in bdsm gear. tried scaring alphonse elric, another soul in a suit of armor, by taking his head off to show he was empty inside, which didnt work, and then screamed when alphonse did the same thing. later he randomly bumped into the good guys and became their friendly pet knife murderer for the next 2 volumes. the only thing stronger than his love of chopping people to death is his love of strong independent women which is why he randomly decided to bust a lady out of prison at no real personal gain after she shot him in the hand one time and also just straight up stopped killing people after riza hawkeye told him not to. had an "oh my god they were roommates" arc with the biggest nerd in the military. befriended/beacquaintanced? a random 15 year old prince from fantasy china after also breaking HIM out of prison. then his own body killed him on accident and he was never spoken of again. and this was all a b plot at best. nobodys done it like him and no one ever will again”

[ brenton thwaites | he/him ] Another face is seeking safety in New Orleans. Make sure to welcome EREN MATTHEWS to the home of the resilient. Rumor has it that they are an 27 year old WITCH, who is one of the SURVIVORS but we’ll keep that a secret. They are said to be GREEDY, but that’s all a façade to cover up their UNMOVING nature. We’ve heard that they can be found listening to FAKE IT by SEETHER, which sums them up pretty well. Let’s hope that they can find a way to survive this harsh new world.

Basics.

Name: Eren Wesley Matthews

Age: Twenty seven

Pronouns: He/Him

Species: Witch

Birthday: May 12th

Zodiac: Taurus

Hair color: Chestnut

Eye color: Brown

Relationships.

Siblings: Cody Matthews, Benji Matthews

Half siblings: Jaylen Grey

Parents: Estranged

Personality.

Despite his attempt to fit in within his earlier teenage years, Eren has never been much of a people person. He prefers his own company to others more often than not. He’s always been a little on the quieter side, and often doesn’t really understand a lot of sarcasm. As far as first impressions go, he can be a bit stand offish and may come across as rude, despite not meaning to. He’s very direct, and that can sometimes be mistaken for abrasive. He loves art, and has carried a journal with him in which he sketches people in his private time. He’s especially good at capturing portraits of others.

History.

Eren has always had a complex middle child syndrome. While his brothers had dealt with the repercussions of their psychic abilities, he was left without the burden of it all. Though in the process of this, attention was drifted from him at a younger age, to tend to the needs of his brothers, leaving Eren to fall through the cracks.

Though he knows it wasn’t necessarily his parents or his brother’s fault, there had always been a complex relationship there. He looked up to Cody growing up, and that admiration over the years, turned to jealousy.

No matter how often he tried to follow in footsteps that were set in place, he never quite seemed to fit. For a majority of his teenage years, he tried to push himself outside of his comfort zone. Anything to bring more attention to himself, amongst his parents and brothers. He started and quit many different talents, the latest of his senior year in high school when he joined the football team.

He was good at it, as he was most of the things he picked up, as strategy had always been his strong point. Though, when the benches to his games grew colder, he decided that he actually hated the sport. The crowds. And it still had done nothing to get him the attention he so desperately craved from the people that mattered the most. So he quit— again.

Magic seemed to be the only thing that felt like it was his. Mastering it from a young age, and for the most part self taught— he excelled in elemental magic (fire) above all else. While his skills continued to grow, he picked up easily on things that could benefit him. Location magic, binding, curses, and weapon enchantment. While focusing his attention and skill on that, he also to took studying Algorithmic magic, and connective magic.

When his magic started to excel his age, he started to take interest in their coven. Though even then, he didn’t quite fit in. It was often he was being scolded for being places he wasn’t supposed to be, in search of curiosity. Though he’d soon be expelled from the coven as well, when he’d out grown their antics and started selling his skillsets in magic to whoever would pay the most for it. It turned into a business, and he’d sell his expertise to whoever came knocking, turning a blind eye to the reasoning and often being known as the best and most expensive at his work.

This led him to having ties with the OEA as he entered into adulthood. He was nonchalant, and quiet, and so long as you had the money to pay for silence— he didn’t involve himself in the whys. He didn’t ask too many questions, in fact he’d made it a point to not know the reasoning to his clients requests. To him, it was just another job. And later, a better distraction as his brother went missing.

Years went on, and he soon would soon come to realize that his ties within the OEA have brought into light exactly what happened to Cody. After that, he cut ties with the OEA, refusing their business and hanging onto the guilt of the fact he’d had a hand in what happened. Though, he swallows that in silence on his own.

home screen is this Jaylen artwork by @ 0re

my laptop lock screen is that title screen artwork of Revachol from Disco Elysium, home screen is this, don’t know what the original source is but it’s on a lot of wallpaper sites. miiiight be wallpaperstock dot net ?

last song you listened to?: i’m listening to music all of the time but as i’m writing this i’m listening to Hail To Whatever You Found In The Sunlight That Surrounds You by Rilo Kiley. in general i’ve been listening to a lot of the Garages and Paramore. so i’m also linking Ignorance bc i keep getting it stuck in my head

currently reading?: i’m rereading the Animorphs series for the first time in years! this is actually the first time i’ve read the series in its entirety, as my personal collection grows sparse after book 30 so there’s some i’ve never read. i’m currently on book 36 out of 54! (plus the extras in there whenever they fit chronologically)

last movie you watched?: uhh i don’t watch a lot of movies. technically Sing i think? i was playing totk and sitting with my 7 y/o brother. he wanted to watch Sing but he got distracted before the end of the movie and turned it off. if we’re talking about movies i watched for me then there’s a good chance it was the new Puss in Boots movie or Into the Spider-Verse but it’s been like a couple months

craving: toasted bagel. butter on it. the good stuff. the creamy kind of butter. tim hortons does it right. also i could go for some dark chocolate

what are you wearing right now?: uhhhh some kinda kapris (?) with grey flower and triangle patterns, and a muscle shirt (?) i was just gifted with pride flags on it. it’s hot as balls. if it weren’t hot as balls i’d have on one of my fave tees, and my Houston Spies bomber jacket or one of my beloved long coats

how tall are you?: 5’2” and a half, which i only found out last year when i finally asked at a visit with doctors

piercings?: nah i’m too much of a baby abt the pain and don’t want to deal with maintenance, but they look cool as hell on anyone

tattoos?: same as above but i’m more likely to be tempted into getting something small someday

glasses? contacts?: i’ve been wearing glasses since elementary school, they’re an all day necessity for me. i gotta get new ones, i’ve had these lenses for years and the frames for even longer whoops. the prescription definitely doesn’t line up anymore

last drink?: iced capp from tim hortons hehe. i don’t consume a lot of caffeine but that shit slaps and cold drinks are a must in this weather

last show?: i also don’t watch a lot of tv! uhhhhh i’m drawing a blank. there’s a chance it was Centaurworld but that was a WHILE ago (and i’ve been thinking of rewatching it soon)

favourite colour?: purples and teals. also browns when there’s a saturated accent colour with it

current obsession?: split between Blaseball (the brainrots been going strong since october) and several different groups of ocs. and also Animorphs i missed Animorphs so much i love Animorphs. fundamental to my childhood. i’m getting back to my roots

unrelated obsession?: not quite sure what this is asking! but Tears of the Kingdom is Up There as well, i’m trying not to rush through the game but i’m finding it very hard to put down ^-^’

or actually if that question is asking about obsessions not tied to any fandom. it’s prehistoric animals and/or bats :]

any pets?: there’s a lot of animals i know and interact with throughout the week. i live with a dog (old chihuahua named Prince) and 3 cats (Charming, Bella, and Mr. Kitty). of those, Mr. Kitty is My Cat part time. he loves my granny a lot too, he’s always either in my room or hers, snuggled up near one of us. he’s one of my best friends he’s so important to me :] my silly little guy

do you have a crush on anyone?: i still am not sure what that’s supposed to feel like and if i have ever felt it before but no i don’t right now. just love and admiration for my pals 🫶

favourite fictional characters: there’s so many my guy. i have a tag for blorbos that live in my brain. the ones on my mind a lot recently are a bunch of Blaseball players, the kids from Animorphs (in particular Rachel, Tobias, and Cassie. the latter two were always tied for favourite when i was a kid but i’ve also found a new appreciation for Rachel as well. man. these kids), the iterators from Rain World, the satellites from 17776/20020, Emmet & Ingo from Pokemon, the list can go on and on and on

last place you travelled?: uhhhh i don’t get out much! i haven’t left the valley i live in for years. i don’t know how far away ‘travel’ has to be to count as travel, the last trip i’ve been on might have been a family vacation into the states? in any case i didn’t go anywhere noteworthy in the past year or more

#bramble rambles #long post #ask memes #i don’t know if that’s the right one for this category of post but close enough #Spotify

honestly if i could go back in time and tell my past self one thing, i’d go back to before blaseball ended n tell me to get a garages jersey while i still could, because it’ll mean something big to me one day. or at least a jersey for any team i was actually on (though i do have a strong gravitation towards my original team). i really wish i had something to connect back to them. really grateful for the merch i do have, and i love the worms n all, but… yknow, it’s just. i’ve put together a whole outfit for me, that really makes me feel like myself, i haven’t felt this much kin euphoria in ages. i’ve figured out what my style was like. feels like somethin i totally wouldve worn to play. but i’m wearing the wrong jersey.

hey, uh. if anyone out there ever played for the ohio worms, can i be an honorary part of your team? just so, yknow, this doesnt feel so… off.

4 20 31!

4. what is the plot bunny you’ve been carrying for the longest? optional bonus question: do you ever wonder why you haven’t written it yet and experience deep existential dread?

In terms of blb fic ideas I've had the longest and still haven't written, it's probably the Dot Gets Incinerated Instead Of Jaylen AU... I did plan on finally writing it for the zine jam last year, but there was too much else going on and it never happened. Honestly it's not one I think about often these days, so I can't say it's giving me Existential Dread, but man it would be nice to actually write it sometime lol

20. what is your favorite trope to write?

Definitely a popular answer, but gosh I love found family. Also idk if it's an actual trope but I sure do love writing characters who are learning how to be people and how to be loved :') also strong platonic relationships!

31. tell us about one of your characters who’s an absolute joy to write

It took me a long time to ever write Amos Melon bc I was worried I wouldn't be able to do her justice, but once I started I was like oh man why didn't I do this sooner she is SO FUN! such a delightful balance of cheerful and unhinged. she will casually tell you all the weirdest messed up science facts while smiling about it :) here's a little moment from one of my main projects rn

Amos leads you to a cavern that's dark except for several softly glowing patches on the walls and floor. Upon closer inspection, it does indeed seem to be moss. “That stuff's carnivorous?” You frown. “It looks so cushy and… approachable.” “That's what it wants you to think,” Amos says solemnly. “The light attracts the bugs, making them think it's a safe haven, and then --” she snaps her fingers. “Boom. Dead, just like that.” You eye the moss carefully. “But it couldn't kill a person, right?” “If you ran into enough of it? Sure. I've heard there can be entire caves full of it, though I haven't seen anything like that here. You follow the glow, hoping it'll lead you out of the dark, but it's just leading you deeper and deeper into its trap, and then you stumble and fall right into it, a thousand tiny little mouths biting into you, tendrils holding you tight so you can't escape, covering your mouth so no one will ever hear you scream…” she flashes an unsettlingly bright smile. “You want to help me grow some of it?” “You trying to kill someone?” “No one in particular,” she says cheerfully. “I'm just studying it."

#thank you!#answering moistly #leonstamatis

Little Wolf - Jerome Valeska FanFiction

<- Previous chapter <-

warnings: a little abuse, adult language

word count: 1349 words

Phoenix's P.O.V

I was moving my Sister's stuff into one of the trailers When I accidentally dropped a box full of stuff it didn't sound like anything broke. "Careful with that you ugly bitch!" I heard someone yell from behind me. straight away I knew who it was. I bent down to pick the box up when I was suddenly shoved to the ground. I looked up to see my sister snickering and My brother towering over me with an evil glint in his eyes. I glared at him only to get slapped across the face hard. I heard a growl come from behind me. I turned my head to see Sylvia growling at Jonathan. Jonathan turned and walked away, Evangeline following while snickering. I get up and pick up the box and put it in the trailer.

I finished unloading their stuff and decided to leave my stuff in the car. figured my stuff wouldn't be safe in the trailer with my siblings. I opened the back of the car so the other wolves could get out. To be completely honest I don't know why my parents let me keep the wolves. They aren't usual that kind as to let me have anything that made me happy let alone pets. I think it may have something to do with my aunt Stacy. One night when I snuck out to take care of Sylvia, She must have heard me because she followed me. see I kept Sylvia and Natalia in a barn I hid them from my family in fear they would kill them. My aunt saw them and saw how happy I was around them so somehow, she convinced my parents to let me keep them. after that gradually as we travelled, I found more wolves.

Sylvia has pure black fur and a black nose with a little white on her chin. Sylvia has One blue eye and the other is golden. She and Natalia are the oldest of the group. Sylvia's practically the leader of the group. Sylvia's the responsible and loyal one. she treats the others as though they are her children, her pups. She's very protective as well. (Picture below)

Natalia - She has black fur with a few White patches and has golden eyes. She loves to play a lot with the other wolves. She can also be very protective over the others. (Picture below)

Then there is Jace, He's grey with golden eyes. He acts very hyper for his age considering he's the third oldest of the group. he's the most childish and is often clumsy. (Picture below)

Jaylen - She's also a grey wolf much like Jace. She's often very protective of the other wolves. She rarely lets her guard down that is except when I'm scratching behind her ear. (Picture below)

Justin is one of the stronger wolves than strong brains. He is probably the most irresponsible out of the entire group and often gets into trouble. (Picture below)

Ashton is the cuddly one and happens to have a bit of separation anxiety. He's follows me a lot or Sylvia. Ashtons the youngest out of the group. he's like the pup of the group. (Picture below)

Kade is often up to mischief he loves to have some fun with scaring my brother. he jumps out at my brother a lot scaring the crap out of him. (Images in the folder)

I decided to go for a walk around the place. So, I opened the car door and let the other wolves out. They all got out and as soon as Jace got out of the car he sprinted for the open green field. Following him close behind was Kade, Justin and Natalia. They started playing while I started walking across the field to explore the rest of the place. Sylvia walking by my side while Ashton and Jaylen following close behind. We walked up a little hill and I sat down and watched the wolves play. As I sat there I thought about the ginger, the way he looked at me. I shrugged it off and continued watching the wolves.

~~~~~~~~~~Time Skip~~~~~~~~~~

We stayed at the field for a few hours. when it got dark, I walked back to the trailer area. When I got their everyone was gone. Then I realised they must be performing. I guessed right when I saw lights going off at the big red circus tent. With that I sighed and went to my sibling's trailer to find some food. My parents' trailer had most of the food in their fridge, but I'm not allowed to even look at that fridge without getting a slap to the face. secretly my aunt would send me money to pay for food for me and the wolves. My parents feed me very little food, or they just forget to feed me. When my aunt found out she started sneaking me money so I could at least get some nutrition. I open the fridge and get out raw meat for the wolves and some cooked chicken for me. I go back out of the trailer and sit down on the ground right by the door. all the wolves came and either sat or laid down. I gave the raw meat to the wolves and ate my chicken.

As I ate my food, I looked around the trailer area, so this is our new home. I heard laughter and people talking around the corner. My brother and sister were walking with a bunch of other kids that worked at the circus no doubt. They were all talking and the started walking past me. "Hey look there's the freak that I'm sadly related too." My brother said while smiling. I just sent him a glare. Sylvia started growling at him. I looked behind My brother to see Kade getting ready to surprise him. I hold back a smile. "You know what that's your new name freak. Yep, it fits" My sister said while laughing. The other kids laughed along with her. Then Kade pounced and ended up pushing my brother forward. My brother screamed like a little girl and started running. of course, Kade started chasing him. I smiled at this and chuckled ever so slightly. The other kids followed my brother and so did my sister.

~~~~~~~~~~~~Time Skip~~~~~~~~~~~

A while later My family came back to the trailer after the show had finished. straight away my father slapped me across the face for no reason. I sat outside for a little longer until I knew they were asleep. I got up and walked toward the huge tent. I noticed the lights were still on, but no one was there so I went into explore the place. Of course, the wolves followed me as well. they started running and playing around in the ring. I was laughing at them as they played. They looked like they were pretending to perform. Then suddenly Jaylen started growling and pounced at something. as she pounced, she landed on someone and that someone hit the ground. Hard.

Status: closed @jaylen-stokes

Location: Restricted Access

Word travels fast around Restricted Access, sometimes much faster than Bowie would like it to. They didn’t need to see him in the flesh to know he was back. The news had spread like wildfire in the dressing room the performers shared. All it took was for one dancer to bring it to the back, just a spark to ignite the quiet, gossip fueled flame. And at the center of it all was Bowie, exposed and slightly dumbfounded.

When Jaylen ended their relationship, the break up had taken a piece of Bowie they didn’t even know they had offered up to give. It took months, months of tears and deliberate healing to get over someone they never once imagined losing. But they did lose him, and the next thing Bowie knew, they were sending River and Fox over to Jaylen’s place to collect their things, because the pain of seeing him again might’ve been enough to kill them. Life is funny that way, isn’t it?

Their first instinct is to be angry. How dare he come back here of all places? Then again, Bowie can’t tell the man where he can and cannot work just because their heart got broken. They also can’t blame him for ending things the way he had, even if the decision had blindsided them. It’s what Jaylen needed, and Bowie has learned to respect that. More importantly, they’ve forgiven him, because in truth, he hadn’t done anything wrong. Still, it’s a weird position to be put in, to know he’s there suddenly after so long of nothing.

They haven’t seen each other since the break up, not really. Over the last six months, there were the rare instances where Bowie spotted him passing in the distance, immediately turning on their heels and leaving with an ache anchored in their chest. Except now, they’ve gotten past that feeling, and in its place is a slight, sad, nostalgic fondness for what once was. Some people spend an entire lifetime looking for the sort of happiness Bowie shared with him. They’re grateful they got to experience it at all.

Go home. Their intuition screams at them as they make their way to the bar after completing their sets for the night, back in their everyday clothes and away from the costumes, glitz, and glam. Just take your ass home and avoid Jaylen and deal with this another day. “Baby, make it a double and make it strong,” Bowie calls after the bartender as they lean into the bar, forcing their usual demeanor. Sighing, they tap their manicured nails against the counter while they wait. What the hell am I doing? They glance up in the direction they’d seen him last, their eyes finding him too easily. It’s natural, the way a small grin they have no control over pulls at their lips. Don’t do this to yourself. The glass being placed in front of them startles them, bringing their attention away from Jaylen and back to the bartender. “Thank you, baby,” Bowie takes their drink, downing it.

#jaylen001 #tw: alcohol #this.... did not have to be this long im so sorry wow #also let me know if i need to change anything!!
