WIP Wednesday

Thanks @indestructibleheart @junebugclaremontdiaz @hgejfmw-hgejhsf @getmehighonmagic and @onthewaytosomewhere for the tags! Hitting post on this earlier than usual because I feel like death warmed over—I'm posting this and going to bed... at 9pm on Valentine's Day. Follow me for more sexy action stories.

I feel like this snuck up on me this week... I was so focused on finishing and posting sex club spanking that I stopped paying attention to the passage of time. It's a scam anyway, so.

Today's snippet is the opener to chapter three of the Big Secret Collab, because the amount of the Anastasia AU I've shared is getting a bit ridiculous lmao.

Alex is dimly aware that he’s having a panic attack.  It’s not an unfamiliar feeling. He averaged one a semester in law school, not to mention the whole ‘forcefully outed on a global stage’ incident. He has a number of grounding techniques taught to him by an excellent therapist, and Cash’s hand between his shoulder blades, pressing so hard it’s just the right side of painful and giving him a physical sensation to focus on that isn’t his racing heart or sweating palms. He has a boyfriend who— A boyfriend who— “Breathe, Alex.” The hand that isn’t on his back reaches out and Alex grips it, fighting through every breath. He’s pretty sure his nails are digging into Cash’s skin, but Cash doesn’t flinch; he just sits there, solid and dependable and calm, and waits for Alex to come back to himself.

God with Sandy and MK training next season, the "Why do I break all the things I love?" line is going to bite me in the ass

This glitch in Disco Elysium makes it look like I’m sobbing into Kim’s shoulder. But is it really a glitch tho?

'When I was trying to figure out if I was in love with you and if I was ready to say it, I decided that even if it didn't work out and it hurt at least I got to love you and that was enough to make it worth it"

😭😭😭

Valentine's was really good this year. More on that maybe later

On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being an encyclopedic knowledge of the source material and 1 being you can read it completely blind where would you rate your fire emblem fics? I desperately want to read them but I have a negative understanding of that entire series?? Have a great day!! (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)⁠✧⁠*⁠。💜

Good news. Great news. Fantastic news. Slight spoiler for Rosetta Headstone. Big confession.

So FE3H has several different possible plots. The first plot was made into Weekenders, which is a very direct scaffold off that plot and is pretty inaccessible without knowing the Blue Lions plot. You are more than free to check that one out, but it may be difficult.

As for the new fic Rosetta Headstone, which is based off the second plotline Golden Deer. Spoilers for Rosetta Headstone.

It has nothing to do with the Golden Deer route at all. Truthfully, I had barely made it into the route before I started writing. There's certainly a lot of lore referenced, mentioned, and puzzled out - but nothing that happens in RH happens in the GD plotline. Around halfway through the story we will go off the rails completely.

The games still have a shitton of characters and lore, and RH still deals with that lore, but the POV character is in the constant process of discovering that lore, so I think it should be accessible. I think it'll be interesting to explore Yuri especially without already knowing his deal. And I don't...know the lore...so I...kind of made the lore up......I think its one of those things where, if YOU'RE confused, so are the people who played the game.

Bigger spoiler for RH. But it's actually kind of an AU.

(Regardless of all of this, I know you, and RH is Kennybait, so uhhh check it out?)

☆ high score

Vance is going to be so goddamn fucking mad. Bruce thinks, staring at the new high score on the pinball machine. He had just beaten Vance Hopper at pinball, and Bruce knew he had it coming. No one ever beat Vance Hopper at pinball and only one kid ever tried it, but he was never seen again after that day.

Bruce was shaking in his shoes, hand clenching the joystick. The raven-haired boy was starting to panic. How could he be so stupid? Why didn’t he just give up when he got near Vance’s score?

The faint tingling sound of the doorbell opening awoke Bruce from his thoughts, and he spun around to see who just entered the Grab’n’Go.

It was Vance Hopper.

Bruce smiled at Vance, trying to use his charm to let him get off easy. Vance ignored him, pushing Bruce aside to get to the pinball machine. Seconds later, Vance turned his head to look at Bruce;

“Did you beat my fucking score?” Vance hissed, eyes seemingly piercing Bruce’s soul.

Bruce said nothing, his mouth opening and closing like a goldfish.

“Well? Don’t you fucking ignore me.” Vance growled, crossing his arms.

“…Yeah!…” Bruce squeaked out, shaking in fear. He had just beaten the one and only Vance Hopper's score.

Vance mutters something under his breath, kicking the machine and staring down at Bruce’s feet.

“Don’t let me catch you beating it again, got it?” Vance scowls, his cheeks flushing pink as he meets Bruce’s gaze.

Bruce nods quickly and sprints out of the store as quick as he possibly can, feeling surprised that he even made it out alive.

Vance scoffs as Bruce leaves the store, rolling his eyes and trying to ignore his bright pink, burning cheeks.

Released in 1990 by Williams Electronics, Whirlwind stands as a pinnacle of pinball innovation, masterfully crafted by the renowned Pat Lawlor. This table transports players into the heart of storm-chasing, blending the exhilaration and unpredictability of tornadoes with strategic gameplay. Players are challenged to brave severe weather conditions, striving for high scores and unlocking special modes through skilled play. The Williams table is distinguished for its dynamic gameplay, featuring a spinning disc on the playfield that mirrors the tumultuous nature of a storm, a testament to its inventive design.

The game's immersion is deepened by its compelling sound effects and voice callouts, alongside a playfield adorned with vibrant artwork and thematic elements that capture the essence of being amidst a ferocious storm. Its ingenious blend of stimulating gameplay and imaginative design has solidified Whirlwind as a revered classic within the pinball community.

From a personal standpoint, it ranks among my all-time favorite pinball tables, securing a spot in my top 10. Its groundbreaking mechanics, abundance of objectives, and the originality of its theme represented a complete package during its time, offering an unparalleled and enduringly enjoyable experience.

In its digital form, Whirlwind continues to enthral both veterans and newcomers alike, providing an authentic rendition of the table's original allure and challenge. This digital reincarnation ensures that its legacy persists, allowing players to indulge in the thrill of storm chasing from the comfort of their homes, thereby preserving its celebrated status into the digital era.

Welp I have a renewed desire to get fucked while wearing a winter soldier muzzle

Star Wars Trilogy (Sega, 1997)

About Macaque's death- it's been raised that in the flashback, we can see what looks like a battlefield around him. Some have even spectacled that the mountain Macaque brings MK to in his debut episode is the same battlefield.

And...when Sandy flashbacks to what seems to be Sha Wukong's memories...what do we see but a battlefield?

I think your thought that there was two battles between Macaque and Wukong, if Wukong did kill Macaque (I believe he didn't), is correct. However, Wukong spared Macaque the first time, probably bc Macaque hadn't done anything too bad to the pilgrims. The second, he didn't...

Because Macaque succeeded in killing the pilgrims.

Let me set up a screenshot conspiracy board real quick:

I swear these are all related (I've mentioned this before somewhere). I don't know how or why, but deep in my heart I want to believe this battle will be touched on.

Now, I don't know if the battle that took place is related to SWK & Macaque's fight or not, and I'm also not positive that there even were 2 fights (I was just throwing stuff out there), but Macaque killing the pilgrims (or more likely just having a hand in their death, "I didn't do this!" "You weren't not involved" anyone?) is definitely something to consider.

this was super fun!!! :D template by @ink-ghoul

I don't think I've been so simultaneously happy and sad at the same time. Every word from him is a delight until I remember the reality of the situation which is then crushing. But I guess it's going to be fine or whatever
