The Hound had hacked handfuls of her hair off only two days past. He was an even worse barber than Yoren, and he’d left her half bald on one side. Robb won’t know me either, I bet. Or even Mother. She had been a little girl the last time she saw them, the day Lord Eddard Stark left Winterfell.

ASOS, Arya X

wondering how c!karl would feel if he were to remember quackity. wondering about everything coming back in bits and pieces as he learns more and more about the inbetween and other side and how to split his time between them.

at first there’s unease and a vague sense of horror because why is he remembering such sweet, loving moments with his murderer? and then he’s angrier (more afraid) than ever before because things were good. he has such incredible memories with quackity and quackity still somehow turned around and killed him, what the fuck? but the more that come back the less certain he is of that. because all of them are good. there are so many, coming back piece by piece, and only the memory of his death stands out as something truly awful. he stops being mad that quackity would betray him like that and starts wondering why.

and then one day he remembers agreeing to it, remembers the plan. quackity murdering him slots seamlessly into place with the context behind it and it’s terrifying because it makes perfect sense. he can remember the terror associated with seeing quackity that day and his murder but he cant feel it anymore. of course quackity killed him. that was the plan. they all agreed on it. hell, quackity was the one who was most vocally against it happening.

it still doesnt add up. because if they were engaged and things were so good and quackity didnt betray him, why arent they together? why isnt quackity in kinoko? what drove them apart, what has he still forgotten? he remembers building kinoko. he remembers planning to invite sapnap and george and quackity. he remembers weeks and then months spent with only one half of his heart.

no matter how much time goes by, he does not remember inviting quackity to kinoko. the pit in his stomach grows, and grows, and grows.

hmmmmmm.................vent post under tags...... feel free to give advice or dont¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Your Plucky Dreamwalker Partner Reveals What She Knows

It’s Detective Ava time! Doing the spacey background was a bit difficult to blend it in right tbh. (Also, unlike the other ones, I used a stock photo to help me with the icon/symbol, so don’t give me too much credit for it, lol)

idk if it’s noticeable, but Blake’s sword symbol is-ish in the rubik’s cube pattern~ (Since she’s his sister)

Hi, idk if you're still taking questions, but I was wondering what inspired you to try tackling writing so many different servants with Passing Days? Most writers usually just stick to their specific favs that they want to write so PD sticks out as one where you write almost everyone!

Hi Anon. I'm still taking questions, so don't worry about it. The day I close my inbox is a far away thing.

What really inspired me in writing so many different Servants in Passing Days was the simple fact that my positive experiences in FGO ultimately originated from the team lineups I made with said Servants. How different combinations (even without meta farming built in) led to different experiences that were both memorable and fun - I wanted to challenge myself as a writer in covering the different sides to those experiences. (Achilles meeting Marie as a front-liner Rider really did reflect how early FGO me did rely on Marie a lot before Achilles arrived for my Rider teams. And once I thought about how they might interact together, it snowballed from there.) Even the sides the player themselves may never see, because the Servants are people too, with their own viewpoints.

Even if FGO is all about the meaning behind humanity and what "saving" it truly entails, I found the Servants we befriend as the player along the way sold the show. And when some Servants weren't as focused on as others (example being the original Arturia Pendragon herself for one), I wanted to change that.

Passing Days is ultimately what the title implies. Snippets of days from my Chaldea. Times between all the Servants I can write for, all the times I want to write for, as respectfully as I can. To show the times the Chaldean Master doesn't get between story mode and events. Because life isn't all about the farming, the endless grind for more Ascension materials and Embers, and saving the world.

Life can also be about the daily naps, the laughs, tears, and everything shared in-between. And those moments I find are more precious than the story mode the game can give.

Having dreams where a hot vampire or something is hunting me down? Cool, exciting, fun, sexy.

Having dreams where my ex is hunting me down? Uncomfortable, gross, stressful, sickening!

Parental groups r weird, but I got the feeling like ppl r again violently trying to accomplish their own goals using children, to show off the school or their high morals u know. That’s may sound alien, but if I’m still a teen, and I actually want to discover the world myself, derive my own views and opinions, can I like go without those lessons of gender studies etc. Like I don’t want teachers/relatives and random people telling me what to do and what to think, I want to have a right to choose my own courses and be free with that. Bannings r stupid, but it’s even dumber to be fed forcibly with something I’m not ready to consume or waste time on. Does this go only in one direction?

I mean I'm definitely one who thinks there are happy mediums in every conflict, but most sides take the stance of "my way or the highway", so it's hard to really satisfy anyone without completely alienating the other.

I think it's important to at least approach the ideas of gender studies, sexualities, etc with developing teenagers because that's when they really start to discover themselves. Some kids struggle with labeling new feelings or confusion they might experience, so it would help to give them a stepping stone, which they can then decide to pursue further with elective courses if they feel it resonates with them or just out of curiosity. And, even if none of those ideals apply to them, it's still good that they acknowledge such things exist and normalize it.

They don't have to be full blown core classes from grade 6 to 12 about the entire history of transgender identity, just a semester similar to health class that kids can later on select electives on if they want to continue exploring those topics, or never touch again. You can throw in the story of the Stonewall Riots during the civil rights lesson without turning it into propaganda as to why you, a 16 year old, must now label yourself as transgender. You can finally acknowledge the contributions women have made in the STEAM field that had been ignored or miscredited to men. You can read the letters or love poems of famous authors and say they were written to their same sex partner and leave it at that.

It's not about forcing kids to be one way or another, it's about exposing them to different ways of thinking and normalizing the outcomes.

I was told today that me being openly queer during secondary school actually helped somebody else come out and made them feel normal and I think I’m actually going to cry over it. I’ve never been ashamed of my sexuality, which I know is an incredibly lucky experience and unfortunately abnormal to so many people, but it felt like a self contained phenomena. I never thought my happiness could spark someone else’s. I never realised that my pride isn’t mine alone - it’s for my whole community to share with me. Being out doesn’t just free me. It also frees the people I love.

I was watching neurodivergent tiktoks and it mentioned how nd ppl "peel" their food and fuck I am so glad I have a word for it bc I do it all the time and then some.

...I peel carrots. Carrots. CARROTS.
