Enough With The Schemes!

Vox x CollegeStudent!Reader

A/N: Ngl I kinda had this in my drafts just because I didn't know how it'd ever fit into the story but I decided to fix it up and post it after @vespers-night-sky's fanart for the "Get Off My Screen" Series- the direct continuation and reader's death is in the works folks, I've just been trying to figure out the pacing ahsojskqjds- I am not gonna be a Hazbin Hotel episode jkjkjk Anyway, thank you thank you THANK YOU ALL for the support with the series and think of these little things as filler episodes before the big reveal. Anyways, as usual- happy reading and I hope you all enjoy! The series in it's entirety can be found on my blog under the #Get Off My Screen Series

You didn't know how much more of Vox's shenanigans you could take.

First it had been the wallpaper war-

Until now you couldn't stop his face from being a permanent fixture to your devices-

But it was fine, he could have that!

You lamented over not having [Favorite Fictional Character Name] in your backgrounds anymore but you know what it was fineeeee-

You honestly couldn't tell if having his glitchy grinning face was an upgrade or cringe central.

Then he figured out how to absolutely lag out your computer at some point.

You seriously wanted to punch his monitor head from frustration because of it.

Especially when he had the nerve to laugh at your irritation-

This asshole-!

Now, he was absolutely blowing up your phone and devices with memes or just anything under the sun.

Not that messing with the notification settings would help-

Because somehow he'd figured out how to completely bypass those too.

If this was why that Alastor guy and Vox had a tiff you could practically relate.

Your phone just continued to buzz and vibrate on the table next to you.

Not that you could be fucked with it at the moment trying to cram a paper your professor assigned last BLOODY MINUTE!

That was of course until the Vox desktop companion grabbed the cursor and just didn't let you have it back.

As much as you tried, the darn thing only emoted angrily and refused to give you back the damn arrow.

Your eye twitched as you tried to maintain your cool, only to get up from the desk and scream obscenities to no one in particular.

The day had been a particularly bad one and you really just couldn't deal with Vox's bullshit right now.

"Helloooooo! HELLOOOOOOO?! Earth to (Y/N)! Pick up your fucking phone!!!"

Oh for the love of god he better not have changed your ringtone too-

You rubbed your face in an attempt to calm down before finally checking your phone.

Honestly you expected it to be something really stupid, but seeing what his messages were about made you feel slightly guilty for ignoring him the whole day.

Vox grew used to the routine you both had, so it was no surprise that your sudden inactivity drove his anxiety up the walls.

Poor guy thought of all the worst possible cases that could've happened to you-

He'd greet you in the morning and you would always reply afterwards while eating breakfast.

Save for the times you'd gotten sick or just felt under the weather.

After all, you had classes in the morning and he had broadcasts to air.

You also hated being tardy, similar to how he saw punctuality as something extremely important.

The two of you would intermittently chat within the day and tell each other if you had work to do so you both could leave each other alone for a designated time.

Vox often didn't adhere to this, but he'd always keep his distractions to a minimum if you asked.

Actually neither did you, sometimes you'd be the one spam sending him anything you could think of just to give him a taste of his own medicine.

Then you would wish him a good night's rest and he would eventually reply back with a silly gif or emoji that bode you the same.

He just grew used to it, the familiarity of your companionship in his monotonous day to day.

So whenever something fell apart in the routine you both had, Vox couldn't help but worry that something happened to you.

Whether you'd gotten sick or just anything worse-

It didn't sit well with him when you didn't reply to his morning message like you often did.

Constantly checking his phone for any updates from you to find nothing.

Zilch, none, zero.

The worrying feeling only grew as time ticked onwards.

Even at your busiest you would still shoot him a memo saying that you were.

Which only made this radio silence-

Haha see what I did there-

Worse than it really was.

So what did Vox do?

Absolutely blow up your phone and devices trying to get your attention.

Only when he realized you were doing something on your laptop did he let the desktop companion he made for you interfere.

Not that he even really understood what he'd stuck his hands into.

"What the hell even happened to you today? You didn't even reply to any of my fucking messages! I thought something happened to you!"

"Well SORRY I couldn't reply to your terminally online ass. I was busy dealing with my shitty assignment workload."

The TV overlord quickly picked up that you weren't in a pleasant mood.

The way you typed was just a dead giveaway.

Glancing up at his schedule, Vox notified his secretary to cancel a few of his meetings before he replied to you.

"Anything I can help you with? I'm free for a good few hours."

You were taken aback by his offer, every time Vox would help you he didn't even bother asking.

He just straight up started editing whatever you were working on no matter what you said.

Who was this guy and what did he do with Vox-

"You aren't trying to bullshit me are you? Cuz I'm not in the mood."

"I can tell dollface, let me guess- your shitty professor again?"

You ended up ranting about the abruptly given assignment and just a bunch of other things that slowly ruined your day.

Vox just agreed with you here and there, shooting one word replies or emojis to show he was still listening.

All the while he made the desktop companion let go of your cursor and he looked over your work.

Wow your writing was still absolutely shit-

"So now I've gotta submit this fucking paper before midnight or I'll get a 40% deduction."

"Don't worry about it, we can finish this in an hour. Anything else?"

It was an economics paper you were struggling on and this was Vox you were talking to.

You shouldn't have been surprised that he already knew his way around the topic.

You glanced up from your phone and already saw him editing your essay.

Why didn't you just ask him for help sooner??

"I think I can handle the rest. Thanks anyway, mind if I put on some music while I write?"

"As long as I get to pick some of the songs."

"Deal."

It shouldn't have done anything really.

You shouldn't be having this funny feeling in your gut.

A fuzzy warmth that bloomed because Vox was so quick to drop everything and help you.

Even if it was just something minor like your paper.

Still, you couldn't help but smile as you put on some relaxing tunes and typed away alongside your favorite digital companion.

Just like that, you both melted back into the usual cycle of talking and working.

A casual harmony that you were more than happy to just live in for the moment.

BONUS:

Both you and Vox were just casually chatting by the time his secretary called him away for the scheduled broadcast.

Of course, you wished you could see what he was actually doing but stopped before you could say so.

Instead you just wished Vox well in the broadcast.

"Of course doll, and you know me! I'll be just fine."

Well, his broadcast was going fine-

Until his screen suddenly glitched and randomly played a tune from your playlist.

Had he forgotten to unlink himself from your devices?

It took a few seconds for Vox to compose himself but his show thankfully went on without another hitch.

You on the other hand?

You were just having a personal concert in your room to unwind while waiting for Vox to come back.

So it came as a surprise when the song you played randomly paused and made the Bluetooth disconnect sound.

You didn't connect it to anything-?

Though your questions were eventually answered when Vox blew up your phone again.

This time you couldn't help but laugh.

You were friends with a demonic overlord sure-

But it was hard to fear him when he was such a doofus.

A Dangerous Game Ch 6

Emily Prentiss x reader warnings: language, alcohol, usual BAU case type violence/talk, smut, daddy kink, breeding kink/cum kink..... sorry for the delay on this ch, i just kept getting stuck uninspired to write this week despite desperately wanting to! i hope this week is better but im wokring more shifts and managing this weekend so i doubt it lol send me good vibesis anyone else having trouble with desktop? Like it LAGS so bad when i try to type. Ive swapped browsers, cleared out my computer & i swear its just worse….

You’d reached your six month mark with the BAU, which meant you’d been called into Emily’s office in the middle of a paperwork day, your heart nearly skyrocketing in your chest until you realized what it was about. She praised your work, both in the field and at the home office, commending how good of a fit you were for the team, and that she couldn’t be happier with your placement, and that you were putting down roots here, that you felt comfortable enough to do so. While you had been on edge at first, the meeting relaxed almost instantly, while she was still your superior, there was a sense of comfortability as you talked, laughter and jokes passed back and fourth. Right as you stood from your chair when she’d dismissed you she spoke once again,

“Hey, Pen and I are grabbing drinks after work, you wanna join?”

“You… sure that’s a good idea?” You raised a brow and she chuckled at the meaning behind your words.

“We’re allowed to be friends, aren’t we?”

“Guess we are.” You smiled back, “yeah, that sounds great.”

It may have been your six month mark since starting with the BAU, but today was the start of allowing yourself to be friends with and be seen with Emily while in your home territory. You just reminded yourself that this didn’t mean anything was changing, you’d picked up on it before Emily had even brought it up. Penelope had jokingly asked over coffee if you were scared of Emily, and that there was no reason to be, because under that dark exterior she truly was a softie. You’d laughed it off, saying that at your last posting your superior was strictly that, he’d been the type to not separate work from anything else, keeping the boundaries between employees strict and never hanging out with the team. Thankfully that was enough of an answer for Penelope and she didn’t ask anymore questions.

Medford, Oregon was the next city that the team was called to.

This time the unsub was targeting couples, and after some examination, the team was quick to figure out his hunting ground was spilt between three separate bars, and on a scheduled rotation, it was almost like he wanted to get caught. The profile was made and JJ was the one to announce it on the local news for what to look out for, withholding just the right amount of information to make sure he’d strike again.

“I don’t like this whole sit around and wait tactic.” The local captain grumbled.

“We’re not going to sit around and wait.” Emily pointed out, “we know where he’s going to be tonight.”

“So what? We just stake out the location and pull over anyone suspicious? That’ll be great for business.”

“We’re going to send in some undercovers.” She retorted and it was his turn to laugh.

“I don’t know how the FBI works agent, but that kind of thing takes time out here.”

“Good thing I came with reinforcements.” She practically smirked, glancing through the team, “JJ’s already made herself known… Wilson? How’d’you feel about stepping up?”

“You ask that like I have a choice in the matter.” You laughed, shifting up onto the desk behind you, “yeah I can handle it.”

“Good.” Her eyes danced over everyone for a moment, “you and Morgan will handle this.”

“You two up to that?” The local asked, “this guy, he only takes vics who are guaranteed to leave together, ones who are clearly couples.”

“Oh I think baby girl and I can handle it.” Derek chuckled, wrapping an arm around your waist and you groaned, playfully shoving him away from you.

“Morgan keep your hands to yourself until we’re on the job.” You teased and he laughed again, ducking down to kiss your cheek leading you to shove him away from you again.

“We’ll get you two ready and wired up and as much as I want you immersed in your roles please remember that we don’t know what this guy looks like yet, you need to be aware of your surroundings.” Rossi commented and the two of you nodded, assuring him that you were up for the task. Someone had to get this unsub taken down, no matter what kind of pretending you had to do in the meantime.

Voodoo Martini was the location for your little set up that evening, JJ and Spencer set up already inside, separately at opposite ends of the bar. Emily and Dave were monitoring with the sheriff in an unmarked van out front with back up around the block. They’d gone in before the bar opened, outfitting it with cameras to monitor the situation and Emily was currently kicking herself for having to send you in on a case like this one. A last minute shopping trip to accurately fit the part left you in a scoop necked halter top, tits pushed up and practically bouncing with each step you took and a pair of jean shorts that Derek already had his hand in the back pocket of while the two of you approached the entrance to the bar.

His arm wound securely around your waist as you entered the place, glancing around as if you were checking to see if anyone you knew was there tonight. The place was pretty full already, dark with coloured lights highlighting the room, soft strobes over on the dance floor. One wall was lined with booths, high top tables scattered throughout the space and two bars, one in the corner of the dance floor beside the DJ booth that was three steps down from the level you entered on where the other larger bar was. Approaching that, Derek squeezed at your side,

“Grab me a beer sweetheart? I’m gonna run to the bathroom.” He pressed a kiss to your temple and slipped off into the crowd leaving you to greet the bartender.

You ordered the beer for him along with a vodka soda for yourself, turning so your body language was open to the room, eyes surveying the crowd for a moment while you took the first couple of sips of your drink. It wasn’t long after that a guy came up, introducing himself as Brandon and asked if he could buy you a shot, you accepted and turned the flirt on just the right amount. You knew Derek was back before you felt his hand on your waist simply at the way Brandon tensed,

“Miss me?” Derek greeted, his free hand brushing your hair off to the side so he could kiss your neck, pulling you snug to him as you slid the beer in his direction.

“Could you have taken any longer? Fuck.” You nipped at his jaw, “meet Brandon.” You gestured to the other man, who practically squeaked out an excuse about needing to meet his friends before scurrying off and Derek chuckled into your ear, his breath hot on your skin.

“Not our guy.” He murmured.

“He did approach thinking I was alone.” You replied, turning to face him and he kept you close, his free hand moving under your chin, tilting it up to him.

“Yeah?” He raised a brow, “well the guy at ten o’clock has had his eye on you since you walked in and hasn’t stopped staring since I came back.”

“I’m not stupid enough to look, I’ll trust your instinct.”

“You trust my instinct to turn up the heat now then?” He asked, quirking an eyebrow and you held back the urge to roll your eyes.

“These guys are good.” Emily commented from inside the van, “better than I expected.”

“Almost too good.” Rossi replied, gesturing towards the tv, it gave them video access but no audio. Emily’s eyes drifted back toward the screen and widened at the sight of Derek pulling you closer to him as the two of you kissed, “you sure these two aren’t sleeping together?” Dave asked and Emily did her best not to choke on her coffee, letting out a laugh.

“Doubt it.”

“Dunno,” the sheriff cut in, “if two members of my squad looked like that, I’d think they were.”

“Now that I think of it, when we were in Miami I was going to the ice machine and I saw Wilson sneaking back into her room, looked like she was coming from the direction of Morgan’s.”

“You know who would know the answer to this?” Emily was doing her best to shush the topic as quick as she could, Dave glanced toward her with a raised brow, “Garcia.”

“Good call.” He nodded with a small chuckle, turning back to the surveillance in front of them.

Back inside the club, Derek and you mingled, wandering between the bar, a high top table and very reluctantly, you let him drag you out onto the dance floor. You were careful to alternate your drinks with glasses of soda water that looked like they still had booze in them, but still played up the illusion of being drunk. The two of you chatted with more than a few club goers, first to make sure you looked and were approachable, and second to try and find your target. A few hours later and you found yourself back up at the bar, talking with Drew, the guy who Derek had clocked right as you’d gotten there. He certainly seemed interested, buying the both of you another round as the three of you got to know each other a little bit better, pulling lies out of thin air as you went. You’d just accepted a fresh drink from Drew, raising it to clink against his glass, your hand lingering on his arm a moment too long when your phone buzzed on the bar top. Your brow furrowed and you felt a surge of anxiety shoot through you at the notification being labelled ‘Prentiss’ so you quickly scooped it open and swiped open the message.

‘We’re at the wrong place, news bulletin must’ve spooked the unsub. Just found a body two blocks from Whiskey River.’

‘Copy that.’

You nudged at Derek, showing him the screen as you spoke, “babe, our ride’s here.”

“Better get goin’. Thanks for the drinks man.” He clapped Drew on the shoulder as you hopped off the bar stool, swiping a pen from the bar top.

“Sorry we’ve gotta leave like this.” You feigned a pout, grabbing his hand and writing down seven random numbers, “call me.” You shot him a wink before the two of you slipped out of the bar, not dropping the act until you climbed into the SUV.

The rest of the night felt like a whirlwind as you left the bar, the team and local pd splitting up to canvas and examine the crime scene to try and figure things out. While you were glad to be out of the club and finally away from Derek’s lingering touches you could still practically feel the heat from his body on you and that was making you absolutely crave the touch of Emily. Part of you was starting to wish you could have gone undercover with her instead, though you knew you never would have been able to keep focussed and you doubt she could’ve either.

Emily did her best not to stare at you, wishing she could have just five minutes alone with you to pin you to a wall and have her way with you. She felt her stomach twisting at the memory of Derek’s hands all over you, the way he’d slowly kissed up your neck to show off to Brandon, just how well the two of you had done at posing as a couple. She was proud of the UC skills but it also lowkey made her want to throw up in her mouth. Having you still dressed in the same clothes, with just an FBI hoodie over top while you moved through the crime scene certainly wasn’t helping anything either.

Despite not catching the unsub you and Derek still stopped for a shot at the hotel bar when you finally got home before going your separate ways, a way to say ‘good job’ to the other without having to actually discuss things that had happened. You got back to your hotel room, your head tilting when the door opened and you found Emily perched on the end of your bed, a satin robe loosely tied over her naked body, the bulge between her legs evident.

“You here to debrief me?” You asked with a grin, pulling the hoodie off and tossing it to the spare bed as Emily stood, stepping toward you before her hand gently grabbed your jaw, tilting your face up to her.

“No.” She smirked, “I’m here to remind you who you belong to.”

“Oh?” Your eyes widened and she chuckled, dropping your face from her hand.

“I know it was all an act, but what can I say? I don’t like when other people touch my things.” She shrugged, her hand trailing down your body, slipping between your legs, “and who does this pussy belong to?” She grabbed at your cunt and you gasped, your breath catching in your throat.

“You daddy…” You breathed out, your eyes fluttering shut and she chuckled.

“That’s what I thought.” Her hand tickled up your body again, tugging at the hem of your shirt as it went and you pulled it off, “I think it’s about time daddy marks you, hmm angel… would you like daddy to stuff you with cum?”

“God yes.” You practically moaned, fingers swiftly getting rid of the robe she had on, gulping over the size of the strap she had on.

“Good.” She smirked, her hands undoing your bra, letting it fall to the floor before they slipped into the waistband of your shorts, urging you to shove them down your legs along with your panties.

Before she could even get another word out you’d sunk to your knees in front of her, looking up at her with doe eyes, a pout on your lips before your tongue darted out, swiping a long lick on the underside of her cock.

“Please?”

“Christ.” She muttered, feeling herself flutter around nothing at the idea of it alone as she nodded and you let out a small giggle.

A moment later and your lips had wrapped around the toy, sinking down to the base, letting it hit the back of your throat in the same moment the base of the toy hit Emily’s clit and she groaned softly. Her hand tangled into your hair, watching the way you began to bob on her length, wet, sinful sounds leaving your lips as you did so. You were eager and she was never going to deny something like the sight of you on your knees for her, you were so fucking hot.

One of your hands glided up her thigh and your fingers slipped under the strap, beginning to toy with her pussy and she gasped. The moment two of your fingers slipped into her wetness she moaned, her free hand clutching at the dresser, never in her life had she had someone get her off while she fucked their mouth and it was an entirely new sensation she would never forget. The sight of you in front of her, burying her cock into your throat, the way your skin bulged as she did so, the eager way you sucked more and more into your lips with each thrust was already enough for her. But now there you were, fingers fucking into her with ease, curling and twisting with expertise, easily finding the sensitive spot within her walls. She was moaning before she knew it, tugging at your hair, holding you down on her cock, living for the sounds you made groaning around it as your fingers fucked her faster, the wet sounds from her cunt getting louder and dirtier with each move of your hand.

“Oh fuck… fuck princess!” She cried and her cock slipped from your mouth with a lewd pop, your fingers not letting up.

“You gonna come for me daddy?” You asked, your voice like silk, the tip of her dick resting against your cheek while your fingers curled within her once again and her thighs shuddered. “I know you want to.” You teased, lips wrapping around her cock once again for a couple of pulses, “come in my mouth. Please?”

“Fuck…” Emily swore softly, watching the way you wrapped around her cock once more as your fingers picked up the pace and within a matter of seconds she was shaking above you, orgasm rocking through her as you continued to bob on her cock.

Her hand shifted from the dresser to the base of the toy and you let her pull it from your lips, opening your mouth as your tongue extended out, waiting for her cum. She shivered in the cool air of the room as she squeezed at the base of the toy and the lube spurted out into your mouth.

“Ah!” Her hand shot out to your jaw right before you went to close it and you grinned as she did so. Emily ducked over you, her tongue surging into your mouth, scooping up as much of the lube as she could, deeply kissing you before pulling away ever so slightly. She then opened her lips, letting it drip down back into your mouth until it was painting your tongue once again, “good girl.”

She watched as you closed your mouth, swallowing the lube before presenting her with a clean empty mouth.

“Get on the bed so daddy can fill that needy pussy with cum.” She nudged at your shoulder and you were quick to scramble onto the bed, watching as she refilled the dildo. “On your hands and knees angel.”

You quickly flipped, letting out a low moan as Emily’s hand sunk between your legs, her fingers teasing your folds, smearing your wetness around, “you really this wet from just getting daddy off? You naughty girl.” She cooed.

“Please…. Please daddy…” your eyes scrunched shut, “need your cock.. now..”

“Now?” She chuckled, the tip of it sliding through your lower lips, resulting in a low moan from you as your hips pushed back toward her, “I guess you really are needy.” She sunk the tip into you before pulling it out, a whine escaping your lips, “well, you were good today princess, I guess I’ll give you what you want.” She sunk fully into you with ease and you groaned, “words baby….”

“Hard and fast.” You murmured, doing your best to bury yourself into the pillows as she gripped your hips with a dark chuckle.

The first thrust Emily gave you was harder than you expected, a loud gasp leaving your lungs before you bit down onto the pillow, the next one just as hard, as you’d asked for. Her hands gripped at your skin so tightly you knew you’d likely have some kind of marking the next morning. Each pump of her hips met yours with vigor, moans leaving both your lips. She couldn’t help but admire just how well you took it, how much of a good girl you really were.

“Christ baby..” She swore, “doing so fucking good for daddy. Already creaming all over my cock… you gonna come already?” She let out a groan at the sight of the toy smeared with your juices, knowing just how good she was making you feel.

“More… please!” You begged, feeling the pleasure surge through you, your pussy clenching down around her cock, wishing it would never end.

“Want me to touch you?” She asked, her hand wrapping around your hips in search of your clit.

“Choke me…” you managed to utter out between soft moans and Emily felt herself flutter once again. She let out a quiet swear before pulling you flush up to her by the hair, smirking as you moaned at the sensation. Her hand ghosted up your body before wrapping around your throat, squeezing as she continued to fuck you.

“That’s my dirty girl.” She purred into your ear, “so fucking naughty for daddy, you just love it don’t you?”

“Uh.. ye… yes..” Your entire body was on fire, you felt like you were about to burst yet there was something missing. Something that Emily only took a second to realize what it was, her free hand shifting from your hip to your clit, pinching and rubbing furiously at it until you were shaking in her arms, doing your best to not be too loud as your orgasm rocked through you.

The hand around your throat vanished, letting you drop to the bed while the other one returned to your hip, Emily feeling herself pulse as she watched you come. She pumped her hips a few more times before she squeezed at the base of the toy, shooting her cum deep into your greedy cunt. You let out a very satisfied moan at the sensation, shuddering as she softly fucked it deeper into you.

“Fuck…” you muttered.

“You like that?” She chuckled, raising a brow.

“Want you to come in me every time.” You mumbled the reply and she laughed, leaning forward to press a gentle kiss between your shoulder blades as she slipped out of you.

“I think that can definitely be arranged.”

Imma be honest…right now quackity seems like a busy man, meaning he doesn’t have so much time to spend with u so every moment u meet up with him, he makes sure he cherishes it.

very long happy and sometimes chaotic FaceTime with him while he travels

After a long week of travelling and jet lagged naps, he makes sure to give u all his attention and love

cuddling u and him ranting about how much he missed you even though you two facetime multiple times, everyday.🤷🏻‍♀️

sending each other silly pics of random things

if u know how to cook he’d beg to help you cook…and u say yes even if you have a bad feeling about it😍

ur instincts were somewhat correct and now your kitchen is messed up😭 it’s ok tho cus he helps u clean up💗

idk about u but I remember quackitys gingerbread stream with his tiger costume so just imagine that…but u two have matching onesies‼️‼️ (Yes I’m kinda in the Christmas mood already)

your gingerbread house either looks like a perfectionist made it, or it’s like a sequel to quackitys gingerbread house…

ok wait now I’m in a halloween mood

pulls up with a ridiculous costume but I feel like he would ask you to match him him during halloween

he would be very lowkey about it and hopes you say yes even though he knows your gonna say yes💀

if you and him are at the point where you’re both comfortable with sharing each other online then he’d definitely post you on his story🤗

uhhhh yah that’s all, sorry if it sounds rly clustered😭😭

quackity would ur little sad stinkin face as he gets ready to leave on a trips. Like u look like sat cat just looking at him not saying anything he’d just be like “🥲”. When he comes from trips he ALWAYS tries to give u his attention even if u dont ask for it.

defiantly he thinks u look so pretty on the computer laptop if u use a laptop <3 sososososo maybe pictures of u 2 doing dumb faces or sometimes when one of u guys say something weird. u guys make a ‘😟’ face. and alex would take a picture of it, and when u guys text and u say something rather concearing, he’e send that picture of u making that ‘😟’ face. Like using u as a reaction meme

this is how i’d imagine ur messages together <3 he’d totally want u to send him pictures of u, so he can see u everyday he’s gone.

if u cook with him on a stream or something. U’ll be doing all the cooking. Alex would just being watching say “look what i did guys!” while ur working ur butt off as alex just said “I made that :D!”

he’d think u look adorable in ur onesie. If u have s little tail on ur butt, he would tug on it , amd then giggling when ur like “WHAT THE HECK?!”. He would hug u around ur shoulders from the back because he liked to the the fluffiness of the onesie (and he likes hugs)

HE’D SHOWED UP IN THIS AND THE CONVO BETWEEN U GUYS WOULD GO LIKE

quackity:do u like my costume

you: yea its cute

quackity:…u know i have another one in the room if u like it so much 😚😚

and you’re like “jm good thanks 😙”. he wouldn’t ask u directly to put on the costume but small things he does woukd kinda make it obvio.”hey look! this couple did matching costumes! aha…. u know maybe we can do that to 🫣🫣🫣”

Solomon, sing-songy: Chest nuts boasting in an open foyer~ ---- *Lucifer heavily sighs randomly at dinner* Mammon: What's up? Lucifer: The word heck is a combination of "Hell" and "Fuck" yet it is treated as the lamest word when really it's double as bad. MC: Just like how shucks is a combination of "Shit" and "Fuck" and then there is the fact Goofy has been saying it all the damn time ---- Asmodeus: Rules of fashion: You think it's pretty? Wear it. MC: Okay, but I dunno how I'm gonna wear you. Solomon: You clearly haven't read Silence of the Lambs Lucifer, sarcastically: This went to a great place. ----

Diavolo: You heard of alphabet soup, not get ready for.. Diavolo: Times new ramen! MC: I said this to Lucifer once and he left the room just to scream. ---- Luke: If brains are biological computers, why don't we lag? Mammon: You can't tell me you never walked into a room and forgotten why you were there or lost a train of thought for a moment Beelzebub: One day I was walking home from RAD with Belphie and momentarily panicked because I thought Belphie wasn't with me/ ---- Mammon: If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be? Beelzebub: Salads. Because anything could be a salad. There's fruit salad, potato salad. What's stopping you from making pizza salad, or even ice cream salad? All you need to do is cut it up and there you go, it's a salad. Asmodeus: It sounds like you thought about that before Beelzebub: I have, yes. ---- Mammon: Finding a needle in a haystack isn't hard, just burn the hay. Leviathan: Find the hay in the needlestack though. Mammon: Big magnet. MC: See this is why I think y'all are sleeping on Mammon, he thinks of things like this ---- Belphegor: Humans are so funny sometimes. I remember when I was younger, there was this vacant lot in the human world. Whenever one of us broke our toys but didn't want to face the wrath of Lucifer, I took them and buried them in the lot. Some dude tried to develop the land, but got scared at the amount of rotten toys and convinced everyone the land was haunted. Mammon: We should use this opportunity to buy the land.

You know, a bonus to designing the oc is that other people will drawn them in the scenarios you share! I know your lore really made me excited to see your little fella ^^) it's so nice to encounter someone eho likes SDV in the wild and your world building makes me want to boot up my computer and deal with the lag to see everyone again. I do have to wonder though, what's your take on how the valley feels about JojaMart? It seems like it replaces extensions on the Vally's magic if you fund it.

TRUE…U ARE SO RIGHT!!! Luckily I have a small little ref sheet for him already made heehee. But ill post it on my sdv blog (when i make it). I can put it here too but ill do that under a readmore 😌

Also. U are so sweet 😭 I am so sorry ur game is too laggy to play but i am touched that my little bit of lore is enough for u to want to brave through that mess anyway LMAO

FIRST OF ALL….here is my boy….

His name is June and ive since tweaked some stuff about him. You dont need to know much about him, just that hes a bit of a cryptid among the town for almost two years before townspeople start interacting w him on their own volition. His best friends are Marnie, Kent, and Caroline, and he is really cool w Willy, Linus, and Marlon (old men gang rise up). Also romances Shane which is funny to Me bc whenever shane gets a male farmer to romance i am constantly rotating this image of vincent getting upset and saying ‘gee jas how come YOU get two cool godfathers’

To answer ur question about Jojamart; i feel like it truly wouldnt mess with the balance of magic in the valley. Magic is powerful BUT. It is adaptive. The Junimos harness the magic of the valley to fix things in the broken down community center, but if someone else came along and fixed it for them, well thats one less thing the magic of the valley is used for. Theres plenty of talented people in the valley that dont need magic to get things done 😉 (Robin my beloved)

But i do think jojamart is a big indicator that something is amiss with the town. I think it is a common idea to believe that jojamart is like. Evil. And like. Its totally a soulless corporation, but i think its filling a very specific Need of this town. Pelican town has some very skilled laborers that sell their work and services to help provide not just for themselves, but FOR pelican town; if that still leaves people unable to pay rent/mortgage or groceries, then people will absolutely swoop in and offer ‘solutions’.

I have more Thots but basically……magic is powerful, but it cant do anything on its own. Its utilized by magical beings to make tangible change in the world. But humans are capable of making real and tangible change without the use of magic. Jojamart says ‘here, give me money and time and ill fix this stuff 😉’ and that is not anymore different than Robin, Clint, the junimos, etc saying ‘give me some money and time and i can do this thing for u 😉’. Jojamart is like. Bad. But bad in the same way Pierre owning the only grocery store in town wo employing anyone is bad, and how Lewis is okay with all of this Mess. Its indicative of a bigger problem in the valley that magic cant really fix

#chattin #answered #sdv #TRULY it feels less like a sad mom n pop shop going against a huge corporation #and more like #Small Town Priest who also for some reason owns the most bougie whole foods wannabe grocery in town #competing with a walmart that doesnt even know his face #like hey u make a lot of money dude #maybe employ some people or like. help w feeding ur fucking town man 😭#i do like the idea of the farmer eventually employing ppl to help around the farm #bc the money u make is pretty Ridiculous #and the food (by game standards) easily feed the town #thats not even including willy fishing and contributing as well #and i KNOW he does in my heart i know he does…..#basically basically….jojamart sucks but its not doing anything weird to the valley or its magic #and them doing the repairs in the town doesnt really Steal magic away. it kinda just lets the magic get funneled somewhere else

It’s Always Been You pt12

(Kyoya x Male Reader)

Chapter twelve

-Honey’s three bitter days!-

A crash echos throughout the club, the worst days are upon them.

“Now you’ve done it!” Tamaki gasped at the scene, Usa-chan drenched in tea.

“It done alright.” Kaoru looks upon it.

“But it wasn’t our fault.”

“What! You idiots, you’re the ones who bumped into it, right?”

“Only because Haruhi was running away.”

The twins pulled Haruhi into a suffocating embrace.

“We were trying to catch her cause we wanted to have some fun and dress her up in cosplay.”

“So what?! We cosplay all the time!” Tamaki rebuttals.

“We weren’t going with the usual host club costumes!” The twins gave a devilish smile.

“We want to see Haruhi in a bunny cosplay, disguised as a girl.”

“Disguised as a girl..?” Tamaki muttered.

“You’d like to see it to, wouldn’t you?” The twins grinned

Tamaki turns red.

“I definitely want to see that…” Tamaki freezes and began harshly yanking at his hair.

“What am i thinking, there’s no time for stuff like that right now!” Tamaki points to the twins.

“I know what you’re up to! You’re trying to distract me from the mess you made! Get away from Haruhi! You punks!”

“No way~” the twins taunt pulling Haruhi impossibly closer.

“Let me go!” Haruhi whined trying to pull away.

“I know you’re-“

“Excuse me, we don’t have any guests at the moment, so I don’t mind if you make a racket, but please be careful.

You don’t want to wake up honey-senpai.” Kyoya interrupted, still tapping away at his computer.

“He’s a third year and he still takes afternoon naps?” Haruhi looked towards a peaceful Honey sleeping on the couch.

“Without naps I would’ve ended up killing Tamaki, years ago.”

Y/n defended.

“Why am I always the victim!” Tamaki whispered yell.

“Because it’s you.” He shrugged. “That doesn’t make any sens-!”

“Well we’re going to have to tell him about the bunny at some point. Let’s just wake him up and apologize.” Haruhi began walking towards Honey.

Tamaki and the twins hurridly hid behind one of the couches.

“No wait! Don’t get any closer to Honey-senpai!” Tamaki whispered.

“Come back! It’s safer this way!”

Haruhi retreats and hides with the three.

“What’re you talking about?”

“Honey-senpai wakes up in a very bad mood after napping.”

“Now this may be a rumour, but the Haninozuka family once visited a U.S. military base to give combat training. Supposedly, Honey-senpai slept through most of it because of his jet lag.”

“Then a soldier came in and carelessly tried to wake him up. Since he had been sleeping for so long…”

“On that day, he wiped out two entire platoons of soldiers, and not just any soldiers, green berets!”

“And I’ve heard we’ve had diplomatic issues with American ever since that day!”

The twins shivered.

“How terrifying!”

“And we’ve got a bigger problem. Usa-chan was handmade for Honey-senpai by his deceased grandmother.

You’ve seen how he carries it around, that little bunny is his most prized possession!

Imagine how he’s gonna react when he wakes and sees that his precious Usa-chan is ruined!”

“He’s gonna do to us what his did to those green berets!” The three screams.

“You’re exaggerating. It’s impossible for that story to be true. I mean, c’mon.” Haruhi deadpanned.

“It is! And there’s other evidence that Honey-senpai has an evil side to him. Listen this, his blood type is AB, how do you like that?”

“Yeah so what?”

“He’s saying he is the blood type as Kyoya.” Y/n lazily points to Kyoya.

This got to Haruhi as she began freaking out along with the trio.

“What’s the matter you guys have a problem with my blood type?” Kyoya counties tapping away on his laptop.

Honey rolls over in his sleep with a sigh.

“This is bad! We have to do something quick before he wakes up. Hikaru, Kaoru!” Tamaki snaps his fingers.

“Sir!” The twins whispered with a salute.

“Why is everything life or death with this club.” Y/n lays his head on the table. Glancing at Kyoya.

“I mean can’t they just, y’know wash it.”

“They’re worried he might find out, and what he’ll do.”

“Yes I know but it’s not like they teared him apart.” Y/n exhaled, watching the group go down in flames.

The twins latched onto Y/n holding a pink bunny costume.

“No.” He muttered.

“Cmon~ Haruhi won’t do it! You’re our only hope.”

“I didn’t ruin Usa-chan, don’t drag me into this.”

“Please.” The twins plea.

“No.”

Honey abruptly wakes up. A cold shiver ran through the room.

“He’s awake! We’ll have to use a substitute, we’ve got no choice!” Tamaki quickly places down a brown teddy bear.

Honey rubbed his eyes, and looks to see the teddy, a deafening silence falls upon everyone.

The twins nervously await in anticipation.

Honey grabs the bear, and slams in to the ground.

“Not my teddy bear!” Tamaki cried.

“He’s gonna come after us next!”

Honey slowly walks towards the table Usa-chan resided. And saw the state of him.

“He just spotted the bunny!”

He looks up to the host club with a stone cold glare.

“Who’s responsible for this. Who got Usa-chan dirty?”

“Want some?” Y/n hands over a container of popcorn to kyoya.

“Where did you even get that?”

“Answer the question do you want any.”

Kyoya reached in to grab some.

“Some please help us! Mori-senpai please protect us!”

“He wanted tea. So Usa-chan decided to have a drink.” Mori calmly explained.

“I see! So that’s why his face is dirty, isn’t it! Do you think he wants some cake too?” Honey now sunshine and giggles, holds up Usa-chan

Not long club hours finally start and guests start piling in.

And like second nature Y/n and Kyoya are off watching the rest of the club. However something is different this time.

Haruhi was bringing a tray of tea to Honey’s table.

“Uh honey-senpai, you can’t keep eating nothing but sweets all of the time. Y’know you’re gonna end up getting a cavity.” She placed down the tray.

“Oh don’t worry about it, I always brush my teeth!” Honey takes a bite and freezes.

“Honey-senpai… is… it…?” Haruhi worriedly looks to Honey.

“Nah it’s nothing.. don’t worry about it..” honey holds his cheek.

The twins hold Honey down on his chair.

“Just let me take a look in your mouth!” Haruhi struggled, as Honey throughs a fit.

“Hold still..”

Honey is still squirming, delaying what’s doom to come.

“Honey-senpai, please quit squirming!”

“There’s nothing wrong with me! Quit messing with me!” Honey starts to tear up.

“Leave me alone!”

Mori quietly walks up to Honey, he pushes Honey down onto the sofa, using his hand to look at Honeys mouth.

The guests swoon at the display.

“Why are our guests obsessed with incest.” Y/n groaned.

“So it’s a cavity?” Tamaki pops up.

“Yeah.”

“It’s alright, I’ll be okay.” Honey whimpered.

“Tamaki.”

“Yes, you’re right, I’ll take care of this.” Tamaki clears his throat.

“Until Honey-senpai gets over his cavity, I’m afraid he can’t have sweets.”

“Therefore, we’ll be supportive and ask that you kindly refrain from eating snacks in the club till this whole ordeal is over.”

The next day arrives, and Honey is now walking around with a ribbon tied around his head, the bow imitating bunny ears.

Everyday, was Honeys personal hell. It felt like Mori was personally punishing him.

“You had better What yourselves out there. Don’t give any sweets to Honey-senpai no matter what tricks he resorts to

and incidentally those instructions came from Mori-senpai, this wasn’t my doing.” Kyoya smiled, with an upbeat attitude.

“You seem to be enjoying yourself.” Y/n grinned.

“Is it possible it’s related to the lack of money going towards Honey’s addiction.” Y/n spoke with a knowing smile.

“It’s a possibility.” Kyoya smiled.

“It’s weird seeing you like this” Y/n joked.

“I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

“Never mind. But how long do you think Honey’s gonna start using his special skills.”

“I believe he’s already started.”

“Hm?”

Kyoya points to Honey, who’s now right behind Y/n.

“Jesus! A warning.” Y/n gasped.

“Sorry for scaring you… but I was just wondering if.. you had sweets to spare?” He gave a puppy dog look.

“…I mean I have no candy on me…” Y/n, slid his bag farther from Honey.

Honey pulls the bag, and digs through it.

“He’s lost it.” Y/n nervously spoke.

Honey began pulling out, anything he finds.

“Aren’t you going to stop him?” Kyoya looked at a frustrated Honey.

“I mean I don’t have anything to hide.” He spoke fanning innocent.

Honey began piling an absurd amount of energy drinks. Honey flips the bag upside down, and finds nothing. He pouted and stormed off.

“Great now everything is on the floor.” He tiredly rubbed his face.

He sighed a grabbed the pile of clutter into the table.

“Now is a better time to clean my bag I guess..”

“You should’ve stopped him.”

“Yeah yeah I know.”

He starts organizing the pile. As kyoya ‘helped’.

“I have to ask, how did you fit all of this into your bag?” Kyoya picked out the third deck of cards.

“Magic~” he shakes his hands.

A black and red book got Kyoya’s eye. He pulled it from the pile and looked at it.

The cover had a black design of a diamond, against a red backdrop.

Inside was fairly new paper, the writings consisted of typical casino card game rules, how to mix certain drinks.

And with stray messy notes of reminders, off topic rants, along with contact information underlined.

“Hm? What did you find-“

He looks at the small book.

“Are you reading my notebook?”

“Give it.” He grabs the book, and places back into his bag.

“You don’t see me go through your book.” He muttered.

He placed the last bit of objects back in the bag.

“Shouldn’t you empty the kitchen, before Honey gets to it.”

The third day rolls around and Honey isn’t doing any better, he’s been pacing around in the kitchen.

The club was getting worried, sure they expected him to be upset. But they weren’t thinking how much Honey would change.

“He’s gonna crack.” Tamaki stared at the ticking time bomb.

“Would someone please talk to him, he’s scaring me…” kaoru mumbled.

“He’s heading for the Candy!”

Honey ripped open a cabinet, nearly knocking it off its hinges.

“No need to worry, we emptied out of all the sweets.” Kyoya happily mentioned.

“And now I have an entire room filled with candy.” Y/n sighed.

Honey grabs the bear that replaced the candy, and slammed it in cold blood.

“He’s keeps doing that to my teddy bear!” Tamaki cried.

Honey stumbled out of the kitchen, and before he got far he tumbled. Almost like a rag doll.

“Well there he goes.”

“-Three days and he gives up.”

“Withdrawal is real monster to deal with.” Y/n walks towards the limp Honey.

“Are you okay?” He lends out a hand.

Honey looked at his hand, way too long.

He then latched on to Y/n and bites into him, bound to leave a nasty scar.

“Shit! Let go!” He began frantically trying pull him off.

“Someone get him off!”

“Mitsukuni, don’t take this out on other people.” Mori stares at Honey.

He lets go, but now he’s glaring at Mori.

Y/n hastily backs away.

He looks back at the bite, and sees blood soaking through the uniform.

“How… did he bite through two layers of fabric.” Y/n starts hyperventilating, digging through his bag.

“Where is it…”

He gives up, and decided to take his bag with him to the private bathrooms.

He finally finds a bathroom, and slams the door behind him.

He puts the bag on the counters by the sinks. He takes off his blazer.

Only find nearly his entire white button up sleeve is drenched in blood, He cringed at the state of it.

He quickly went back to digging through his bottomless pit of a bag. For the life of him he couldn’t find his bandages, the frustration almost bring him to the brink of tears.

-Knock Knock

“Busy!” He quickly yelled.

“It’s me, Y/n.”

He stared at the door, before opening the door.

Kyoya stood there holding out a beaten up first aid kit.

“You forgot to put this back in your bag.” He placed the kit next to Y/n.

“Of course I did.” He muttered. Already begging for this day to end.

“Look you don’t have to stay, I can handle it.”

“I highly doubt it.”

“I- fine don’t have to be smug bastard about it.” He huffed, pulling himself up on the marble counter

Kyoya opened the kit, he pulled out bandages and a small bottle of disinfectant.

“You need to take off your shirt.” He sets down the supplies next to him.

“Getting bold now are we, Kyoya.”

Kyoya just stared at him.

He buttons his shirts a slips it off his shoulders putting the stained shirt to the side.

“There, happy now?”

Kyoya lets out a hum before grabbing a towel and turning on the sink.

“Give me your arm.”

He listens and holds it out.

He began cleaning the wound.

“So what’s the diagnosis, doc? How long do I have to live?” Y/n joked.

flustered with the fact he could feel Kyoya’s breath on him. He heart now beating faster for a different reason.

Kyoya lets out a short exhale. “You’re currently bleeding out from a bite wound, I have to say doesn’t look good.” He grinned.

“I’ll have to disinfect the wound. it’s going to hurt.” He placed a swab to area, causing the male to hiss and flinch away.

“Sorry.” Kyoya quickly responds.

“You and I both know you’re not, don’t pull that crap with me.” He grips the counter.

Kyoya finally finished up, wrapping the bandage snuggly around the arm.

“Wait I just remembered… don’t have a spare uniform..” he looked towards the bloodied uniform.

He became an acutely aware he was still shirtless.

“That’s why I brought an extra.” Kyoya holds up a bag.

“How do you get all of these spare uniforms?”

“Do you wants answers or do you want a shirt.”

He swipes the bag and puts on the new button up.

“Try to not get any blood on it this time.”

“I can’t promise that.”

He puts the blazer on completing the uniform.

“You think the club has given in to Honey yet?”

The next day arrives, disputes were settled. Honey was back to sweets, much to Kyoyas dismay.

He was at a table with a calculator, and a mountain of bills.

“It really is an addiction huh?” Y/n spoke looking at one of the bills.

“An expensive one..” kyoya irritated mumbled.

It's been a while...

So... yeah. It really has been a while since I posted anything on this Simblr, especially anything that is gameplay-related. To those who are still following me, thank you so much! I will post again someday, I promise.

I wanted to come on here to talk about the state of The Sims 4 right now. This is more of me venting my frustrations with the game than anything else, but if you're reading this... again, thank you. I haven't touched The Sims 4 gameplay probably since last spring, and the reason for that is that my game is simply unplayable at this point. Okay, it's not quite that bad, but the immersion is just not there anymore. I realized how bad the situation was when I finally sat down and played The Sims 3 for the first time in forever. I bought The Sims 3 for the first time in my life around 2021, and before that, I had only played The Sims 4. Playing The Sims 3, I realized how immersive the game can be. Sure, it has its issues with lag, but honestly, currently, my Sims 3 game runs mostly better than The Sims 4, aside from CAS and build mode. But aside from those, the gameplay in The Sims 3 is so rich, and I don't even own nearly all the packs! I also enjoy how spontaneous the game can be, where crazy drama just happens without me forcing it. And let's not even talk about how beautiful and big the Sims 3 worlds are! Gameplay-wise, it's honestly hard for me to believe The Sims 3 is the predecessor of The Sims 4.

Right, so I might start posting more The Sims 3 content, but this post is meant to be about The Sims 4. First of all, there just isn't enough gameplay in the game. The base game is extremely limited and boring to play on its own, but the extra packs honestly aren't much better. The features added are usually extremely shallow and don't add anything for long-term gameplay. And man do I miss having different animations for interactions! In The Sims 4, Sims just move their hand, and things appear in front of them like magic.

Second of all, the simulation lag completely breaks any immersion I have for the gameplay. If you don't know, simulation lag is basically that thing that happens when your Sim won't perform an action no matter what you tell them to do. Instead, they just stand around and stare into space while often bobbing their head around. No mod I've found has been able to fix this issue, and The Sims creators clearly have no intentions of fixing it either. Granted, my laptop is very old and I have a lot of CC, so I expect to run into some issues in my game. However, I have seen Sims creators with top-notch gaming computers have horrible game-breaking simulation lag, meaning this isn't just an issue with my old laptop.

Lastly (seriously thank you so much if you've read this far), EA does not care about the game or its players. Lately, pretty much all the newer packs have had game-breaking bugs on release, and some of them have still not been fixed (ahem, My Wedding Stories). And even after all the complaints from players, the latest For Renting expansion pack came with a small world mostly consisting of rabbit holes and set dressing and limited and broken gameplay. What I've seen the pack has made many players' games completely unplayable and even messed up their old saves.

In conclusion... I stopped buying The Sims 4 packs since My Wedding Story and WILL NOT purchase them ever again until they fix the current game (which is unlikely since many continue to purchase these broken packs). It seems complaining about the state of the game does nothing, and instead, we should be hitting where it hurts... EA's money.

Also, expect some Sims 3 gameplay...

i have no idea what i'm doing. i used to have all my mods loose and it was a disaster and made me very frustrated doing 50/50

then i tried to group by creator...but if it was a single item from a creator's folder i'd have to 50/50 again (nightmare)

so atm i have individual items in individual folders. i don't know. somehow it feels more organised. it's such a faff.

it feels like a way to have the folder still organised but now it is by (maker) (title). i think it is the best choice so far.

it's easy for new ones. more time consuming for ones that already exist.

also every time i look at my mods folder to decrease the amount i somehow end up downloading mods for 90min and have new things and have deleted nothing.

i just want to play w/o immense lag! and for my sims to stop putting babies down in the garden outside ! they have a whole house and so much space!

my computer sounds like it is in its death throes. it already gets bad when i run my citrix, chrome and firefox all at once. [citrix/chrome for work. firefox for me when i have a moment free]

i'm trying to save up to bring my possessions back from ireland. i lived there about 6yr and had to leave abruptly. i left the majority of my possessions in a storage locker. i pay €130ish/month ($140). i can keep paying or spend a ton of money at once (~$2000 minimum) and bring it here to the states.

2000/140 = 14.28 months of paying

i arrived in america in....august...2022. i'm losing money in pieces versus getting it over with.

saving up 2k is very hard.

i would rather buy a new laptop in a heartbeat. i don't even need much. 35gb ram. intel....4?3?5? or later....15.6 size...at least 2tb and also a ssd.

it's not too much to ask.

oh, but also $900 or less. and i can put a UK keyboard on it.

Posting about my oc Clemént because I think about him a lot. But yes this is intended for shipping

Clem sat on the counter while Mikey cooked, the two weren’t best friends but they did talk to one another abt fashion. Though the conversation at hand wasn’t really that, Clem was listening as Mikey told funny stories about the past things he remembered.

“Oh! Speaking of us purring did you know we basically have an off switch” The orange clad turtle took a sip of the soup he was making.

This made Clement blink “WH-NO???? DD would never tell me this, spill the tea” The taller hummed as Mikey walked over to the sink placing the ladle in it. “Hmmm let me think about it….do i really want to embarrass Dee that badly..” It was quiet for a second before Mikey shrugged “Hell yeah”

Clem snorted “Glad to see all of you grasp as any point to embarrass each other.” Mikey hummed “Of course” he eyed Clem. “Now listen here, like a cat if you scratch under our chin we usually purr but go a little lower and pinch” Mikey lifted his jaw to point at a spot underneath “right here, and basically we lose all sense of reason.” He lowered his head back down “Sorta like we just become jelly in the others arms, our eyes get all wide and we purr like an engine and the chirps are very soft” He huffed, reminded of what his brothers looked like.

Clem smiled softly “Oh? So it’s literally an off switch” they chuckled “Just full mushy brain”

Mikey nodded “yep! It takes a good few minutes to snap out of it but it’s honestly not that bad just not fun when you go like full animal brained y’know”

Clem giggled “actually no, I don’t but I also sorta do…?” Mikey shrugged “Good enough for me, now use this info very wisely. Donnie isn’t a big fan of this trick but since he is seriously obsessed with you i’m sure he won’t mind” Clement giggled again “I wouldn’t say he’s obsessed but thank you, I will use this wisely” Mikey nodded “Sure~” He wiggled his brows. Clem hopped off the counter and flipped him off Mikey just wheeze’d.

A good while went by Clem never even mentioning anything about that trick again. They of course always remembered but never utilized it. Until one day, when Donnie was acting super pissy. He was so frustrated and looked to be on the edge of a break down, nothing about their patrol went according to his plans and Meat Sweats decided to use the poor soft shell as a punching bag today so now Donnie was just sore and angry.

Around 9pm Clement had come over, he heard from Leo how Donnie was acting and felt kinda bad.

Walking into the room Clem spotted Donnie hunched over at his desk, the tan male sighed and made his way over to his reptilian boyfriend.

“Y’know that is only going to make your back feel worse right?” Donnie just grumbled. Clem huffed again “Dude come on, I know you feel like shit so let’s lay down for 5 minutes and I swear on my career you can come back to the computer” Donnie turned around and glared at Clement. But that was all they needed to lift the turtle up by his armpits and throw him on the bed.

“First mistake was facing me” Donnie yelped as he landed on the bed, it was a lot softer then it looked. “Seconded mistake and Allowing Leo to let me in” Donnie glared at the door outside. Looking at Clem as he climbed into the bed Donnie grumbled “This is stupid I don’t need to be resting I need to be working on making a more padded battle shell” Clem just shook his head “No can do, five minutes. That’s all i ask for”

Donnie really wanted to protest but his partner was already lifting him onto their lag. Donnie just sighed as he sat on their lap, his plastron against their chest and his legs hanging off to the back. He was way too comfy now, so he just settled and huffed “Fine…five minutes” Clement nodded, placing soft kisses against the turtles neck and shoulder. Donnie shuddered but leaned closer into the touch, maybe he did need this.

Five minutes pass like no time and Donnie barely noticed, the gentleness of Clement’s kisses against his neck and shoulder made him melt. Five more minutes pass and he was now laying in their lap, his shell against the covers and Clement leaning down to place small kisses on his eyelids and beak, it was around this time he went to lean up.

“Alright, your time has passed love; let me up now” Clements whined “noooo i thought my affection would make you forget” Donnie smiled at their childness “Well it made me stay 5 minutes over time so i’d say your attempts were successful”

Clem groaned “Come on Dee just two more minutes, I saw how you were about to fall asleep. Give in” Donnie blushed softly “You must be mistaken I was just resting my eyes”

Clem rolled his eyes “Yeah sure mister smarty pants, those sighs of relief must have also been a figment of my imagination then?” Donnie nodded “Exactly, now-” He leaned forward trying to sit up again “Let me go”

Clem frowned “Pleaseeeeee Donnnnn, just lay down with me for a little longer! JUST A MINUTE I SWEAR!!!” Donnie sighed “You get one minute”

Clem cheered softly, as Donnie laid back down.

Clem started scratching the underside of Donnie’s chin. It was silent before Donnie started to purr softly Clem giggled as he continued to scratch Donnie’s chin. Donnie only got louder by the second he was pretty happy you could even see small thumps of his tail wagging, slowly Clement made his way down Donnies neck still scratching. Suddenly the human pinched softly at a spot and Donnie’s eyes shot open a squeak coming out of his mouth before his eyes went half lidded and his pupils large. The softshell went from his head being in Clement’s lap to throwing his whole body onto his boyfriend.

Loud purrs and chirps made it’s way up his throat and out his lips, rubbing his whole body against Clem’s hand it looked like. Clem was surprised for a second before giggling using one of their hands they softly traced the spikes on Donnie’s shell and used the other to scratch Donnie’s snout. Churring Donnie’s chest rumbled, his tail swishing against the bed sheets.

Clem chuckled watching as his boyfriend turned into a puddle in their lap, leaning forward they placed soft kisses on every spot they saw on Donnie’s shell. Donnie squirms around a drunk-love sick look on his face. He didn’t like this feeling before but maybe being vulnerable around your partner was something different.

Okay, I finally finished Nancy Drew: Midnight in Salem, and thus the entire franchise (as of yet). The OG fandom hyped this game up to be the worst of the worst. However, in my opinion, it placed 15/34 in my ranking spreadsheets, below Secret of Shadow Ranch, and above Secrets Can Kill (OG Version).

The game's graphics are abysmal. I mean, I genuinely, unironically, think that Stay Tuned for Danger (the first 3D Nancy Drew game) had better graphics than this. In that game, all the character's looked like plastic mannequins... but at least they had some charm/character to them. The character models in Midnight in Salem felt like The Sims 3 graphics. As in, the character's faces were only barely different from one another, and the hair... oh the hair... it was so bad. No to mention, the world just wasn't that pretty either. It's crazy just how barren and sterile Salem felt compared to Skipbrot from Sea of Darkness.

I honestly wouldn't even be that mad at the live-rendered graphics... if the game wasn't so fucking inefficient. A game that looks like that shouldn't be able to make my M1 iMac sweat like that, but it did. I even had to turn Anti-Aliasing down and set the Resolution to 1080p just to play without lag. Not to mention, the Mac version seems to have a lot of graphical glitches (that admittedly might be caused by running the game through Rosetta 2 on an ARM Machine, but I don't know). Specifically, the worst was in the final cutscene, where a bright white light was rapidly flashing across the entire scene until the camera finally moved. It then returned once the camera return to Nancy's perspective. It was genuinely awful. For a game that took 5 years to make, and that is running the latest and greatest gaming engine, this game's graphics are hot garbage, especially compared to the previous game which was the most beautiful in the entire series. It honestly felt like I was playing one of those Unity Asset store games like House Flipper or House Party.

The animations were choppy, characters didn't stay planted on the ground and would slide around, the textures looked crusty and blurry, while simultaneously overly-sharp. In fact, the animations also felt like Unity default assets. Character's rarely, if ever, made specific motions for their words. They just stood there and played idle animations over and over. It made it feel like they weren't even talking to Nancy. Also, I noticed (at least once or twice, idk about the whole game) that the characters don't blink. Not to mention their awful, uncanny at times, mouth movements when speaking.

The plant textures were FLAT. There was no 3D effect to them at all. You could walk up to any plant, and it was as flat as a JPEG. It's crazy to me how resource inefficient this game is. A game with that graphic quality shouldn't be hard to run on a computer that can run BeamNG Drive at medium graphics through Wine and Rosetta translations layers with decent performance. I mean, I honestly think Yandere Simulator might perform better than this game.

The navigation was also horrible. You can really tell that this game was last minute switched from being free-roam to point-and-click. In perhaps a controversial opinion, I kinda wish this game would've just been free roam. It was clear that the point-and-click thing was an afterthought, and it made it so difficult to navigate around the world. Not to mention, the hit-boxes for the point-and-click system were majorly regressed. One of my biggest complaints with the early Nancy Drew games was that the hit-boxes for the click-points were small, and there was often just a bunch of dead space that made it difficult to navigate rapidly and reliably. This was fixed somewhere along the line, but in this game, the issue returns once more. The slow hover animation combined with horrible click-point hit-boxes made this a tediously slow game to navigate.

And don't even get me started on the cars. It's difficult to make good, realistic-looking 3D car models because they require more detail than most people think, but the car models in this game were awful. Hell, one of them was literally a BMW stock model without its badge.

This graphical quality of this game is just shocking, given it took 5 years to make this game (4 after the engine switch), and previous games were made in a fraction of that. Not to mention, this doesn't feel like a game that was made by a dev-team by a game studio. It feels like an Indie game that was made by one person using Unity Store assets. The visual quality is insanely bad.

My final critique is about Nancy's voice actor. Now, I'm not here to rag on Brittany Cox. Nancy's previous voice actor was icon because she literally voices her in 33 (34 counting SCK Remaster) previous games. I just got used to her. However, knowing now what I know about Lani, I can't say I'm upset that she's gone. Brittany sounds like she has a lot of potential, and if I'm being honest, my problems with how she voiced Nancy probably aren't her fault. She sounded pretty monotonous and unemotional compared to prior renditions. However, we also know HeR laid off a lot of people between this game, and its predecessor. As a result, I think it's safe to say whoever directed Lani did not direct Brittany. Brittany's portrayal honestly sounded like the voice you hear at the supermarket over the income trying to sell you rotisserie chickens at 20% off. I think Brittany has a lot of potential, and I hope her director does a better job in Mystery of the Seven Keys, but for now, I just didn't like her portrayal. It is her first game, however! If you go back and listen to Lani in Secrets Can Kill (OG) and Stay Tuned for Danger, she too sounds very different to what she eventually settled into. I hope Brittany finds a better groove with Nancy, and I'm hoping the series lives long enough for her to do so.

Now onto the positive. After all the aforementioned bullshit, what on Earth could sway me to giving this game a 19/34? The plot. I honestly feel like this is one of, if not THE best plots we've ever gotten in a Nancy Drew game. The drama was so juicy, and the foreshadowing was off the charts. I was concocting crack conspiracy theories before I even met half the cast. It was amazing to follow and so rewarding to watch play out. The Deirdre redemption arc was crazy, and I loved every minute of it.

However, I do have two notes when it comes to the Plot:

1: What tf did they do to Ned in this game?? Sea of Darkness was incredible. It honestly felt like a series finale because of how emotionally and solidly Nancy and Ned were wrapping things up. I'd never understood the Ned haters in the fandom, and by the end of Sea of Darkness I was at the peak of Ned Nickerson Apologist Mountain. However, in this game, everything is just uprooted. All the drama that is built through Ned's phone calls is never properly resolved. It was so unsatisfying watching Nancy brush it off in the end scene. Not to mention (maybe this was another Mac-only bug, but I doubt it), they didn't even bother giving Ned voiced lines in the end. It almost felt like they kept building all this relationship tension, finished up the game, and then realized that "OH SHIT! We forgot to wrap up the Ned drama" and slapped it in, last minute. It was genuinely awful. Some people often call Sea of Darkness the conclusion of the original game series and Midnight in Salem the rebooted series. This is obviously wrong because Salem was teased in the end of Darkness... but tbh, for the Ned storyline alone, I'm willing to headcanon that and believe it.

2: The ending was kinda weird. If Alicia had kept her mouth shut (which she was doing a very good job of doing), she probably could've gotten away with it. Hathorne House wouldn't have been hers, but there really wasn't any hard evidence against her for anything else. She had an excuse and alibi for everything, and she genuinely had covered all of her tracks. Maybe Jason could've gotten a plea deal and testified against her; or with Nancy, Frank, Joe, Deirdre, and Mei all knowing what they knew, she could've been successfully convicted in a court... but by the ending scene, I was fully convinced she was going to get away with it and get Nancy in trouble for breaking and entering... but then all of a sudden... out of nowhere, she just starts blabbering about everything... IN FRONT OF A FUCKING JUDGE. It felt really out of character, given how intelligent she previously was when it came to the law, and, just like the Ned wrap-up situation, this felt like an "OH SHIT!" moment where the team realized they'd gotten themselves into a corner and needed to get out of it, but didn't have time to go back and redo major story aspects, so they settled on this.

Overall, the plot is a very rewarding plot to experience, but would I play this game again? No. The graphics are awful, and even getting the game to run stably was a chore. It crashed multiple times (literally any time I took my wireless headphones out to go to the bathroom). Sometimes it even crashed at random, without warning. (Thank god this game introduced an auto-save feature.) The navigation controls were also just plain awful. While a lot of the early games were just as tedious to click on, their navigation scenes were much more predictable. In addition, those games have neo-nostalgic flare that this game just doesn't. As a result, it ranked slightly above average in my spreadsheet, but that's mainly for the plot. I, honestly, think this is the first Nancy Drew game with zero replay value because of how plot-reliant the enjoyability is. Maybe I'll come to love it. The characters were fun, but I don't know. My feelings about Nancy Drew games change as they age within my head, so maybe I'll slowly want to play this game again. For now, though, I'm glad I played it, but I'm also glad it's over, and I never have to play it again.

I finished the game a few hours ago, still almost doesn’t feel real skndjsjs

But HOLY FUCK it was amazing!!

Of course I have my nitpicks but overall I give it a solid 9/10! Wish my shit ass computer would’ve given me more than 3-5 fps sometimes (not exaggerating)

Some rambles regarding the game below, nothing coherent or an official review just some thoughts:

Alright so first of all HOLY SHIT THE GRAPHICS, GOREGOUS

SOUND DESIGN, INCREDIBLE

MUSIC, AMAZING

Even the very beginning of the game I was on edge, the atmosphere the game gave was immaculate

Once again wish I hadn’t been lagging so bad I was constantly faceplanting into walls XD

All the mirrors in the game actually worked!! Idk why that amazed me so much but it did

Audreeeey, omg I love her, I love her so much,,

She reacts to things! She’s dynamic she’s alive!! Henry I love you too but please man you’re a little bland considering the horrors around you dhdjdh—but ooh I love her and her personality,, there’s some parts I wished she’d reacted to more n had more lines but mostly I just really loved listening to her talk,,,

SPEAKING OF HENRY, HENRY HAS A CANON DESIGN NOW!! NEAT! Still keeping my own the same though cuz I like it better jdndjdh

ALSO JOEY WAS THERE TOO—he was so fascinating?? Like..he wasn’t this evil guy, he regretted what he did? And he and Allison were friends I think? And he helped Audrey? AND OH MY GOD THE REVEAL THAT HE MADE HER IN THE REAL WORLD?? I was blown away honestly. And omfg my design for Joey had a Bendy pin and GUESS WHAT CANON JOEY HAD

A BENDY PIN

I WIN AT PREDICTING THINGS NSJDNDJ

OH OH GOD AND THE INK DEMON, HE TALKS??? HE TALKS SCARY????? HIS VOICE IS SO FUCKING COOL AND TERRIFYING??? SCARED THE SHIT OUTTA ME??? HOLY FUCK

His design is a little weird for me tho? Like it’s cool and absolutely is scary, I’m just not fond of his face?? His teeth?? That’s not a smile that’s just teeth, he gotta have a smile, turn up the corners of his mouth plz

Also was not very thrilled by the mechanic where you have to hide from him, except he’s not even there and it’s just a countdown to insta-death? I was hoping to actually get hunted by him and have to stealth, Alien: Isolation style. The mechanic also annoyed me in another way cuz it usually caused a lag spike aaaand it’s hard to hurry and find a hiding spot when you have 3 fps and keep running into walls, though that was caused by my shit computer, not the game itself, so it gets a pass. Still would’ve preferred getting hunted by the Ink Demon though

Also can we talk about whatever the FUCK the Keepers were?? Those things were CREEPY like, EIEHGHHG WHAT THE HELL, the way they TALKED dear god

They don’t even have legs they just SLITHER AROUND

The Lurker was funky but I don’t have too many thoughts about it itself, more about the LONG ASS SIDE QUEST you can do for it that I didn’t know was OPTIONAL

I had to go all the way back up to the fuckin Animation Ally and oh my god the amounts of times I died, the many times the map broke or the one time it just wasn’t there at all (once again I blame my computer), the time in a fight in which it was lagging so bad it nearly crashed and the audio was freaking out, and what do I get after all that? A FUCKIN SCHEMATIC AND SOME COLLECTABLES

EAT MY ASS, LURKER

Allison omg, I loved her in this- I only wished she showed up more, she was a delight and I really wanted her and Audrey to become friends. Tom was there too but I don’t really care about him kdndjjd

ALICE THO, GOD what a return, and it was SPECTACULAR. The riddle (that was fun to solve, and not stupid hard like some of the other fuckin puzzles I hate puzzles I suck at them), the fucking ELECTRIC CHAIR she put Audrey on, HAVING A GUN??? THE WHOLE OH SO TENDER SCENE BETWEEN HER AND ALLISON,,,?? God I have feelings

Wilson is..hard to describe cuz honestly I didn’t know what to make of him? Like the beginning scene with him in the elevator was very ew creepy please stop, I could just feel Audrey’s discomfort, and obviously the whole turning on the ink machine (I was so obsessed with the gathering ritual items for the pedestals parallel) and murdering himself and Audrey scene was a big red flag, and ofc the creepy ass posters and lying and just having dictator-y but distant vibes, but later on he kind of seemed like he had decent motives?? Idk..but OH IT WAS A TRICK, A TRICKY TRICK—HE TRIED TO TURN AUDREY INTO HIS OC

It was sooo funny to watch that scene play out and Wilson starts dragging her toward that machine, and I was just going like “push him in push him in push him in” and then she DID and I was like YEEEAH

And OH MY GOD WHAT HE BECAME, NO EXAGGERATION IT WAS SCARIER THAN THE INK DEMON LIKE WHAT THE FUUUCK

I’m not sure which is scarier though, that thing whatever it’s called or the fuckin SPIDER THINGS WITH TEETH

Oh my GOD I hated those so much, ESPECIALLY THE BIG ONE

I think I was either lagging too much of never got killed directly by it to see it, but aPPARENTLY IT HAS A DISTURBING DEATH SCENE WHERE IT EATS AUDREY ALIVE

I wanted to see the deaths scenes in non-laggy format and I watched it and YEAH

THANKS MEATLY IM GONNA HAVE FUCKIN NIGHTMARES

Oh I can’t forget about Bettyyyy, what a sweet gal, I love her and I need more of her

And whatever the fuck that weird book was, the Mug and the Maiden?? Who wrote that they sound hilarious

The whole thing about the ink world and the real world being SEPERATE WORLDS was wild too, like—there was a CITY there, it was HUGE, and the implications of the ink people there being memories, like Joey—the real world versions not there at all but simply alternate copies living a hell (ofc the exception being Audrey and Wilson I’m assuming who’s real world selves were Actually There)

OH OH AND BABY BENDERSSS!! Didn’t do hardly anything and kind of just followed me around for a bit but he was cute! Immediately followed with oh my fucking god as I found out he got tortured by the Keepers

Also in this butcher shop (which had a clever little Meatly reference in the name that made me chuckle) there was just these words that said “the beef is people” and like wow, Audrey accidentally committing cannibalism real

NO CUZ ID BEEN EATING IT. THERES FOOD ALL AROUND (more than just bacon soup! It was all very creative and I liked it ^^) AND SOME OF ITS SLABS OF MEAT

PEPOPLE MEAT. IVE BEEN. FEEDING AUDREY. PEAOPLE MEAT

EUHGHEUHUGHGUH

But anyway, I saved the most important details for last—THE PARTS WITH SAMMY!!

There were hardly any. My day is ruined and my disappointment is immeasurable. BUT, I did enjoy the ones that were there! Sammy having a couple memos, him being held in a cell by the Keepers (FREE HIM) as he’s designated a Cyclebreaker, just playing his banjo looking all vacant, and during the final combat scene HE HAD VOICELINES! A few, before he was SHOT OFF A BALCONY BY ALLISON. ALLISON HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME. FIRST YOUR HUSBAND NOW YOU. WHY

He did a fucking Wilhelm scream as he died (for the 4th time in the series mind you) tho so that was hilarious, but STILL

GIVE ME MORE IN DEPTH SAM CONTENT JDS. DO I NEED TO BRIBE YOU. (for legal reasons this is a joke)

But yeah! Overall these are most of my thoughts regarding how I feel about the game, and though there’s things I would personally change (aaand considering I didn’t get nearly all of the achievements and there’s probably bounds of secrets I didn’t find, there’s prolly a shit ton I still don’t know), I still thoroughly enjoyed playing it! For me it was worth the wait ^^

#abrambles #bendy and the dark revival #batdr spoilers #batdr spoiler #bendy spoilers #it’s scattered and long-winded but hopefully somebody enjoys my thoughts on it

Think I have to call it quits to a weekly post, so instead let's just do a Blender one, because that's what at least half of it would be anyway.

So... not gonna lie, this model is looking scary good. Like, 'actually this might work on its own' sort of good.

Well... when I fix it.

The ultimate litmus test to me will be if it can replicate some of my comics expressions. Because, like, I need silly faces. Its not my comic if there arent silly faces.

I've been mostly working on the rigging, and, good news! I'm hip to drivers and custom properties now! Yeah, I have no idea why no one could explain them to me correctly. They're so simple. I 100% bet the reason it never worked was because of the local-world axis distinction and not being aware of the ability to change the axis youre working with, or that they exist at all.

Here's a neato gif I made of some progress:

By the way, that's not the gif lagging. It is actually that slow to open the mouth.

Which brings me to bad news... I think my computer is finally too weak for me to be able to do all this not-frustratingly. I built it, what, 6 years ago? I think longer even. It was a good, mid range rig, but now, if I want to upgrade, I would basically need to replace half of it because its no longer compatible with things.

On the plus side, when I do inevitably have to upgrade, my sister will finally get a computer that doesn't suck.

And it's mostly that one damn boolean on the mouth. The fast setting just... doesn't work. even having it visible and not editing it at all makes the framerate drop. And I need several more booleans for their neck holes! Let alone having multiple characters talking. It's not impossible, just, frustrating. And if it's frustrating, It simply isn't viable as an alternative to screenshotting the models and drawing over them.

Gonna put a cut for rambling about drivers, aka boring number crunching. It's actually pretty fun to me but that's because I'm a wierdo who thinks naming several hundred bones is a relaxing task.

So, drivers. They're kinda sick. I really wanna explain that foot curl cuz mmmm. damn. sooo satisfying. I have it even better than that gif now, it even curls inward so the outer toes are more thumblike.

Well first off what's a driver you may ask. Heck even if you do blender stuff, drivers seem not very well-explored. Basically a driver is an instruction set to tell one property to change, based on another property. For the foot, i have it so the foot bones' position on the upward axis (y location) changes the x rotation of the foot bones.

This is what that looks like. Purple is the property I want to change, var and proxyrot are the 'changers'. They *drive* the change.

Tbh I'm oversimplifying the above but most of the extra stuff is for convenience. Instead of the foot itself raising, the 'footsplay' bone follows it, but with a fixed axis, just to make it more predictable. And since adding a driver makes a given property uneditable, theres another bone riiiight above the bone being driven that only exists to let you adjust it manually. I called it a proxy bone, but I forget if proxy is the right word. It felt right.

Above, you can see the expression that tells it what to do when. It's python, which, I barely know, so I just copy and pasted how to do a minimum and max value. To put it in words, if the foot is off the ground, increase x until it gets to 0.3. If the foot is below the ground, don't change x at all. Plus, whatever the proxy bone is doing.

Thankfully I only need a proxy bone for each toe; the rest of the curling is done by copying the rotation to the next bone, then to the next next bone... (If you hold your finger out straight, rotate it a bit, rotate the next joint by about the same... you see it makes a 'curl' effect) Since that uses a modifier and not a driver, it's also adjustable, so the rest don't need proxy bones!

The bones to rotate all the toes at a given joint (I fixed them, you can see more below) are basically the same thing. Copy its rotation to all the joints. Just a liiiitle quicker than selecting them individually, setting the rotation to be based on their individual origins, and rotating.

Why did I never understand how to make these work? Mostly that 'space' option. While I'm pretty sure I understood what the local space was, here's the thing:

In this case it's not a big difference because both have the same x axis (red), but... the global (world) axes and local (local) axes of bones and various objects can be very different from each other. In this case, imagine if I wanted it to rotate on the y (green) axis. They're practically swapped! I use this dropdown soooo much and afaik I just, happened to goof around with it one day, no one ever mentioned it in any tutorials.

I want to make a blender tutorial so much...

You're already down here so I'll ramble about that.

Basically, I believe most people here at least who want to get into 3d are 2d artists. This kinda sucks cuz... I'll be real a lot of the people making these tutorials are the techbro sort... That's not per se a bad thing, it's wonderful if people who have no prior artistic experience find that 3d is their calling, but... It's often a specific sort of person. They want to make movies, realistic environments, maybe they make videos and want to do cgi for it, motion tracking, etc. etc.

To get to the point, I think most people here want to make their 2d art into 3d art. That's all. And when all the common 101 tutorials are photorealistic donuts, environments, and they get bored and go straight to a lot of dense non-beginner character modelling, sculpting, rigging tutorials... people think they can't do it, it's boring, it's hard, etc.

So my idea is a complete beginner character tutorial.

First off, the basics of blender. Maybe. To be honest I think introducing new concepts organically is better but honestly, a lot of tutorials go over moving rotating scale... and don't mention wtf all the panels are? Blender is so fucking scary looking at the start. I used to think 'dont worry, 90% of it you'll never touch' but to be honest? The biggest hurdle for me was uh. Learning the 90% no one ever touches. I think there's a big setback of teaching the bare minimum and then you try to do something yourself and you can only work with the bare minimum you were shown.

Perhaps if I recorded a really long vid of me explaining things I think are important to understand, then cutting out any that come up naturally. Then you'd still get the things I think are important, without doubling up the the ever annoying 'explains a thing 5 minutes in then actually uses it assuming you remember what it is an hour later'.

But! What would it be? I want to cover 1. 2d concept! It's one thing to want to make something 3d but I think no one ever mentions the sort of considerations that should go into your concepts... T-posing is really important! I think reference sheets are great practice for this but there are still some considerations that you only think about way too late, like 'is the mouth open or closed by default' and 'should you model necks straight out or curved by default'.

So you have a 2d concept. You know what you want it to do and have drawn it accordingly. How tf to model. (I basically just model nowadays so I wouldnt cover sculpting... but I'd mention it and give enough breadcrumbs to get started on experimenting with it... and lowkey recommend sculptris cuz its soooo cute as an intro to sculpting even if its limited) here id cover basic movement, the neglected local, world, normal concepts, pivot point options also often neglected,,, I'd probably separate sections into 'the actual tutorial' and 'things that you probably want to know' just in case people only want the meat and prefer to tackle problems as they come.

I'd also cover important modifiers like subdiv, solidify, mirror, also some wierd but useful ones like shrinkwrap and array.

Materials, shading, I'm not sure how I'd go about those. Since it's a character tutorial, probably at least how to add a texture, how to do transparency, errr. UV's are a big one... oh, also I'd discuss add-ons, cuz some are reeaaaal useful. I'm no purist, I think using add-ons in a tutorial is a good way to find out what sort of things people use and why, rather than just oohhhh its not blender lets not mention the way easier thing ... everyone uses node wrangler tho but. *leans in* I dont use it that much tbh. Why is it the only add-on anyone suggests. Even some default ones blender has are real good.

Rigging is the one I've thought the most about. There's so, so much in rigging that's a minute explanation that the only tutorial for it is an hour long. It took me soooo long to not be scared of IK's because the explanations on how to set it up are so fucking bad. So many of them assume you're making a human and don't at all convey what is actually happening and how you can use it.

And now, I feel super confident I could explain drivers and how to apply them to things. I think that's the big thing. So many explanations are... confined to their own space. This is how you make a rig! Oh, you didn't want to make a human? Spend the next 3 months figuring out tails and long necks. Oh, you want to know how drivers work? No you don't! No one just decides to figure out drivers. It comes up in a completely different vid, you have no idea what it is, you get spooked and avoid the problem the driver fixed for years, until you decided to sit down and spend hours watching shit tutorials and articles until it clicks the super fucking simple explanation that everyone dragged out into 20 minute tutorials that don't cover what to even do with the fucking things.

More than anything I want to cover what to do when things go wrong. That's the kicker isn't it. Have I truly finished a model? Or did I hit a skill barrier or problem I couldn't google and left it too long to remember what it was supposed to be finished like? Stuff like the horror of auto-keying, scale issues, symmetry...
