@blbrrymilk wren I can't stop my brainrot Dr. Ratio + spanking we talked about yesterday 😫… I tried to endure it but failed… have to write it out. This is extremely self-indulgent. I'm a little embarrassed lmao
And I’m sorry it’s not you as the second person perspective, because I think some of the descriptions of you may not be accurate 🥺🫶💖
You never thought about taking Dr. Ratio's course. Actually that's out of your control. On the selection day, after you entered the damn subject selection system, other students had already rushed in and snatched up all those simple electives. There are a few elective courses left, some that you don’t even know what they mean from the course names. The professor teaching these courses is: "Dr. Veritas Ratio", and there are a large number of student places.
Veritas Ratio…you remember classmates talking about this name. Ratio has taught 52 courses during his tenure, and the completion rate is no more than 3%… That is an impossible challenge!! You put your hands in your hair, groaning in distress.
But… you can't choose other electives… just take classes first and then think of other options… the worst you can do is just retake the electives.
This is your first lesson in the Dr. Ratio course. Before class, you bought a cup of milk tea as usual and wanted to take it to class to drink. This is a way for you to boost your spirits and relax. No professor ever criticized you. When you entered the classroom carrying milk tea, you saw a professor with purple haze curly short hair standing in front of the lecterns. You were slightly intimidated because you had never seen such a young and…muscular professor. His sleeves are bare and you can observe his well-developed muscles. He glanced at you, the laurel accessory on his head was shining, and then returned to the students in the audience.
You stepped lightly and sat on your seat holding milk tea.
The class started soon… about 12 students were sitting in different corners. And you found a corner to drink milk tea while listening to those principles and knowledge…you couldn't understand. This is so boring. You pouted, thinking that you really had to retake the class this time. At this time, a girl walked in wearing a decent and neat college uniform. She first confirmed the classroom number before walking in and planning to find a seat.
"Excuse me, Miss. Do you need to apologize for being late?" The professor stopped her.
You looked at the time on your notebook in surprise, huh? Is it just 20 seconds late? The girl was obviously frightened. She apologized quietly and ran to a seat. You feel sorry for her.
What a fussy professor. No wonder so few students take his classes.
When you listen to those lectures, your eyelids feel heavy. You use your laptop to browse the web and drink milk tea. By the way, you participate in a department store lottery belonging to IPC (what you want is a spaceship ticket. You did win, but that’s a cup of ice cream wtf…).
"The lady sitting on the left side of the sixth row." The endless stream of knowledge lectures came to an abrupt end. Dr. Ratio suddenly started calling the student - you. You took a few sips of milk tea before you noticed all the eyes in the classroom were on you. "A-are you calling me, Professor?"
He ordered with an expressionless expression, like a calm volcano. "Yes. And the lady fourth from the right in the third row. The one who was late just now. "
What? Is he going to drive you two away? Is he some kind of middle school teacher!?
Thinking of this, your fear was overshadowed by fun. Whether he wants to reprimand you or expel you or something, this should not be allowed in college.
You stood in front of him and the girl with an impatient look on your face. She looked confused. You obviously don't know why the professor ordered you two to stand here.
"Okay." He ordered. "Take off your uniform skirt and underwear, both of you."
"What?!" You have never heard such ridiculous words! What does he want to do to you? This is an absolute abuse of power! The girl next to you also frowned and argued with reason. "Professor. What are you going to do? This is unacceptable in college." The students in the classroom immediately started talking and whispering to each other.
"I can, and if in fact you don't comply, you will be expelled and go back to your planet to rest." He waved his arm, waiting for a reaction from the two of you. "You can call the principal or the university office immediately if you don't believe it. I never tell useless false information."
You stared at him for dozens of seconds, trying to see any falsehood in those damn golden eyes…but there was no such thing. He means it. Courage and morality tell you to run out of college and report him, but something inside tells you…that's just not working.
You slowly unzipped your uniform skirt. The girl next to you is more courageous than you. She just picked up her bag and wanted to run out of the classroom, but the cost was that Dr. Ratio grabbed her directly, pulled down her uniform skirt and panties, and bent her waist. The slap immediately hit her buttocks loudly. You watch in horror what's going on, what? Is this really happening? Spanking? Spanking in public?
"It's a pity that you don't have enough concentration, miss. I would appreciate it if you put your energy into class." His firm palm slapped her buttocks, delivering heat and unrelieved pain. There was no predictable rhythm, three slaps on her left hip, five on the right. "By the way, lateness is also unacceptable."
The girl put her hands on the lecterns and whimpered. The slaps from behind fell like a storm, causing her to occasionally kick her legs to relieve the pain. You want to stop Dr. Ratio's unreasonable abuse of power, but how? Witnessing these cruel and inhumane atrocities (referring to spankings), you wince from time to time, and some hallucinations of pain appear on your buttocks, just like those slaps have fallen on your body.
Quietly, you pulled up your skirt again.
After twenty more particularly loud and humiliating slaps, it finally stopped.
You hope it's Dr. Ratio realizing the inappropriateness of his behavior, but he just orders the sobbing classmate to stand in the corner (still without her skirt or panties on! What a pervert!). Then he pulls your shoulders and pulls your skirt and panties down to your ankles. The shame of public exposure washes over you immediately.
"Stop - I hate you!!" You screamed, but your waist was restrained and your bare ass was slapped continuously. He literally lights a fire in your ass… Slap. Slap. Slap. This hurts so much! You can't help but admire that classmate. With such pain, she didn't even scream like you…
"I noticed you've been drinking some high-calorie drinks and you're obviously not paying attention to class. This is just an appropriate punishment for your behavior." He announced the reasons for the punishment calmly, as if he had the authority to do so. “I hope you have a basic respect and reverence for the place where knowledge is imparted.”
"Stop fussing or making noise or I'll use the ruler."
You held your breath, not believing what you were hearing. ruler. That big, long, transparent ruler on his desk? A brief moment, but it felt like centuries of ravage. Not only the shame of being spanked in front of everyone, but also the pain and frustration...
You still ended with more than twenty particularly hard slaps. By the time it was over, you had tears streaming down your face and you were put in the corner by him.
Corner time...
He is a barbarian...a scoundrel...a violent maniac..
"Turn around," Dr. Ratio ordered. You looked weakly at the two hard chairs that had been placed. He told the two of you to sit down.
You sat down, the soreness worsening from the hard material. You squirmed uncomfortably. A textbook has been thrust into both of your hands.
"Good. Listen intently now, because I don't mind another round of punishment for you two." He turned around and drew on the holographic blackboard with electronic chalk. "Let's continue with class."

"I cant switch to firefox because..."
"It's too much effort to switch"
If you install firefox, it will ask if you want to import your browsing history, bookmarks, saved passwords*, and in a as of october of this year your extensions as well.
*dont use your browsers built in password manager. they're very much not as secure, even firefox's. read about passwords here
You can't import cookies for security reasons, but external tools can do that for you (try to avoid this. if you do have some data you need moved over, usually websites have their own "export data as file" option)
Everything else that you may need to fully complete the switch will come up naturally over time, the initial setup can be half an hour, or if you're happy with how it is at the start, less than 5 minutes.
"They don't support [website]"
Firefox is entirely up to date on current HTML, CSS, and Javascript standards. Theres a bunch of websites that compare all the features that firefox supports compared to chrome and stuff and they're often just, wrong? I've used some MANY of the features that firefox supposedly doesn't support. Plus they're constantly updating it for added support of new and old features. anything they refuse to add is due to security reasons, and nobody uses those features anyway.
In my experience i've never had to switch to chrome to avoid a website breaking. Sometimes it was because of an extension* but thats a very easy fix. Firefox has profiles built in and really good troubleshooting features.
*(stop using privacy badger/possum, please, it's built into firefox now, most of all privacy addons are completely useless because firefox already does it for you!!! ublock is safe tho i love u bbg)
If a site tells you "switch to chrome to see this site as intended" they're lying, and you can use a user agent switcher to trick them into thinking you're on chrome
"i need chrome for work or school"
i'd say 4 times out of 5 you don't, they say you have to use it but in reality it's just that they have better control over what you can do with it.
My high school had a shit ton of extensions automatically installed on chrome, including some shit that was literally spyware, it reported to teachers and staff all of your tabs you have open at any given time, and they could force shutoff tabs and force things open. They had absolutely no control or ability to monitor me when i switched to firefox, and there werent any problems that arose from it.
You can also just use chrome for school/work and use firefox for your personal web browser. separate your work life and personal life, you can do this with two different firefox profiles as well.
"I don't like change"
The only thing that's different about firefox in a day to day usage is the bar at the top, which is entirely customizable. Right click, customize toolbar, and you can mess around with it to make it the same layout as chrome. you can also get rid of those weird empty spaces to the left of the search bar they add by default for some reason. mozilla pls fix. You can further use themes to make it even look even more similar to chrome, I did that with my school profile to differentiate them.
When I switched, there wasn't anything I missed, I didn't have any of the "ugh i dont like how [blank] is in a different spot", or "ugh they dont have [this]". it just worked. It's a web browser, it works and does everything it needs to be. I didn't miss chrome at all, nothing felt different and the adjustment period to the new browser was LESS than what i felt when chrome updated the design in 2018.
"I have no reason to switch"
If you care about privacy at all (which you should), i could list hundreds of reasons why you should switch. Google removed "don't be evil" from their code of conduct for god sake lmao. Every new change they do is a ploy to get as much data from you and feed you as many ads as possible.
The dumping of Manifest V2/dynamic filtering not only makes most adblockers useless, it makes any sort of content blocking worse. Blocking trackers, malware, intrusive and annoying website features, these are things ublock does for you which chrome is doing its best to get you to stop doing. They want you to be exposed to predatory ads and malware so they can get more money.
If you have issues with ram usage and performance issues, firefox includes a lot of (lesser known) features to monitor RAM and CPU usage. While it seems as it may use more RAM, it automatically releases it when more ram is needed by other programs, effectively using less. It also uses much less ram in total in cases where there's 10+ tabs open.
Firefox can automatically block sites from auto-playing videos whenever you go on them
As mentioned firefox has so many more customization features than chrome, allowing you theme and move around everything to your hearts content
While on desktop, Chrome and Firefox are very close in functionality, on mobile, Firefox is working to add full extension support to mobile, it already has a small catalogue of extensions you can use, such as uBlock Origin. It has all of the desktop privacy features as well.
Firefox, only has about 3% of the market share. Other than that, chromium controls over 70% of all browsers, with apple controlling over 20%. The less people use firefox, the more control TWO companies have on the very act of using the internet. The Mozilla Foundation is a fully non-profit organization, with full ownership over the mozilla corporation, they don't have shareholders, and prioritize an open, safe, and private internet. Don't let them die.
"but what about..."
there's probably other reasons but the last of my advice:
you can have multiple browsers at once, install firefox and don't get rid of chrome. try firefox, see if there's anything you don't like, and try to fix it, and whenever you feel the need to, you can go back to the browser you already had.

What made you realize you were a furry? For me, it was Digimon.
Some of the first furry smut I ever saw was through my friend accidentally finding Digimon “art” as a teenager, lmao. But I brushed it off at the time.
In my mid-teens though, curiosity got the better of me and I started browsing the web to find out more about what I had seen. I stumbled onto the furry art archive site VCL, and it blew my mind. I didn’t know what being a “furry” was but I knew what it liked.
Back then, social media wasn’t a thing. You didn’t have an outlet to parade all the horny things you found on Google. And if you were a minor, you sure as hell didn’t tell anyone or talk to anyone. You dipped in, saved images to your computer, then dipped out. So over a few years, I managed to save a fair amount of art, even though I hadn’t joined the community yet.
I think it was on 4chan where I first heard the word “furry”. As in, “furry art is banned here, yiff in hell”. And seeing how awful people on 4chan were, I figured that if they hate something, it’s probably cool and awesome, lol. And that got me into looking up what being a furry actually is.
I got my first drawing of my fursona Wolf Nanaki at Florida SuperCon in 2008; I was 17 at the time and my mock-up for my character was a stock drawing I had photoshopped to look like my idea. The artist, Luniara (who is not a furry), was taking sketches at her table, and was willing to give it a go. This was the result:
Tumblr media
This kinda cemented me self-identifying as a furry, and I joined FurAffinity in January 2009, a couple of weeks before I turned 18.
So yeah, that’s my origin story. 🐺

P3R while I was gone, part 2: featuring unnecessary romantic issues, ride or die, and the last full moon.
In the last two weeks before the end of everything, we visit Fuuka’s class next door, where Natsuki has an announcement to make!
Tumblr media
“Goodbye everyone, I’ll remember you all in therapy!” XD
More seriously, though, Fuuka is very upset. But they have a lovely conversation on the roof, and Natsuki promises to keep in touch. It helps Fuuka realize that she finally has real friends and a place to belong, and it leads to her persona evolving.
Juno is cool. ^_^ I like the wings.
Tumblr media
I spend my time after school with Bebe to finish off his social link. He’s taking the kimono back to France to show his uncle, in the hopes that he’ll be allowed to continue living in Japan.
Tumblr media
I’m not sure how leaving in the middle of the second semester works, but I guess it’s okay?
Considering Maiko, I’m starting to think most of my social links are going to end with people leaving. The bookshop couple didn’t, but like… they own the store. But anyone not specifically tied down has a chance of disappearing.
Tumblr media
….DANGER NOODLE! I was wondering if you were here!!
I’ve only got one ongoing nighttime social link, so I have some time for browsing the websites I’ve bought from the deep web informant. This time, we’re going to check out a blog that guarantees to increase the yield of my crops. ^_^
Tumblr media
……………….is… is this really the website link we bought from a sketchy dude in a club? God. At least it told me where to buy golden tomato sprouts.
The next day, we’re heading back to Tartarus to retrieve our monthly victims who wander in, as well as another cat!
Another one of my social links is in trouble, and it’s Maiko this time, which… how dare? That is a child?
Tumblr media
Maiko was supposedly moving away that day, so… I wonder if it’s always the same links that go missing, or if it’s random. Because both times, I’ve been warned of dire consequences if I don’t save them, but it’s also been people I’ve already maxed. So that’s kind of silly.
We’ve also found the last(?) memoir piece in Monad, which…
Tumblr media
Prince, huh? Does that make me the prince’s consort? :D
We had to leave Tartarus because we’ve reached another border floor. I GUESS we’ll never get to see what’s past it, since Tartarus is going to disappear after the next full moon. It’s SO SAD that we’ll never see the top. Can’t believe the game is almost over.
Lmao
Anyway, back to social linking and school. XD
Tumblr media
Never change, sensei.
I’ve been helping Yuko train some elementary schoolers to run a race against the middle-school kids who want to take over their play area. They tied their race and apparently made friends with the middle-schoolers, so we’re having a party to celebrate their success, even though they keep calling me Yuko’s boyfriend. I laughed it off, and so did Yuko.
Tumblr media
No problem! Your room’s nice. Cool stereo.
Tumblr media
We laughed that off, right???? So why are you asking me about whether I’d want my hypothetical kid to be a boy or a girl. In conjunction with talking about your future kids?
Tumblr media
Yeah, apparently picturing our future children. X’’’’D Look, Yuko, you’re great, and I’m glad you’ve discovered what kind of career path you want to take in the future. But I don’t think this is gonna work out.
I forgot that eventually I’m going to have to start turning down people developing crushes on me. It always makes me feel a little bad because I do like them, I just don’t want to date them?
(I want to date Mitsuru, but I’m not a ~*genius*~ yet.)
At least Aigis is having fun with her yakuza novels.
Tumblr media
After school the next day, I receive a call from Kenji, who is freaking the hell out.
Tumblr media
Dude, what the fuck. Were you just going around talking about this to people other than me? I thought it was a secret.
But the man in my dreams insists that I remember the consequences of my actions, so you should too. I don’t know what you expected to happen when you decided to court the ETHICS TEACHER. FFS, Kenji. Keep it together. I don’t even know if I can offer advice for this one.
At least Strega is having real problems.
Tumblr media
They grew up in a lab, with only each other. I can understand their feelings regarding that, at least. It’s the same sort of thing as with Goro in P5R. Removing the memories of those experiences would completely change who they are as people. Like, they’re not a good people, but the solution to that is not wiping everything and making them someone else.
Jin still remembers what Takaya told him, to get him through all of that.
Tumblr media
Taking that away would be… cruel.
But we can’t keep going like this, either.
There’s two days left, and only one of my Sunday social links is ready to rank up, so let’s go hang out with my track rival!
Tumblr media
...you know, at least you have parents and siblings. Mine are dead. Please don’t assume anything about me. :/
So now, at last, it’s the night before the finale! Time for one last team meeting. Everyone is grateful to me for being leader, and Mitsuru is finally willing to fess up what her real reason for fighting is. It’s not entirely about righting her family’s wrongs. It’s about protecting her father.
Tumblr media
She’s been doing this since probably even BEFORE middle school. No wonder she wants to bring an end to it so badly.
Well, we all know what’s coming. Strega is going to try to stop us. But we can’t stop now.
Tumblr media
Takaya, you’re still not wrong, but you’re being willfully ignorant of what the actual problem is.
Jin is a Fortune arcana, and his persona looks like a spinny dice. :D
Tumblr media
But there’s more of us than there are of them, so this was never really a contest, even if they are strong.
Tumblr media
I dunno if evokers are really “naturally awakened”, but… yeah. Forcing it isn’t good for you. That should be obvious.
Mitsuru wasn’t aware of the fact that the Kirijo Group was experimenting on people. Which, she was a child, so I’m not surprised. But based on the note Takaya gave me before, part of the reason to experiment on other kids was to make things safer for Mitsuru. So… we probably shouldn’t tell her that.
Tumblr media
I’m starting to think we don’t know a lot of things.
Takaya is willing to shoot himself with his real gun, but Jin stops him. Even if it’s just so he doesn’t go by himself.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
They fall back over the side of the bridge, and then it’s just us and the final shadow.
Tumblr media
Honestly, I hate the Hanged Man. The fact that it’s being held up by hooks in its skin is gross. X’D The gimmick was interesting, though. It could give itself a bunch of extra turns, and it hit really hard. Not quite final-boss hard, but it was a challenging fight.
But we won!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
We can go home content in the knowledge that the world is now safe from the Arcana Shadows.
Tumblr media
...I didn’t even know you could exist outside of the Dark Hour, honey. Wow. This is surreal.
What do you think of the sun? Have you ever seen it before? Have you seen it through me?
Tumblr media
Yeah. Things are good. ^_^
Tumblr media
……….
Can you at least tell me why you have to leave?? What did you remember? What ruined this miracle? I might need to know that?????
Tumblr media
If you cry, I’m going to cry.
I wish I could hug him, but… God forbid a protagonist be allowed to hug anyone. Except Yukari in Yakushima. X’’’’D
I’ll see you soon, Pharos. Love you.

H-hey um hi, I was uh, well I was just wondering how you did that cool character list cuz I wanted to make one for myself but I'm just like new here n stuff so I was wondering if you could tell me how you did it also your art is funny as shit and I love the style
i'm assuming you mean the character/oc page on my blog? it's a modified version of this page theme by @macfustythemes. you're going to need to know a little bit of html/be willing to do some trial and error in order to use it (more if you wanna actually tweak the layout), so i'd recommend downloading brackets, which is a code editing program that will make things way easier. you'll probably have to send a ticket to support asking them to enable javascript on your blog, as the code is dependent on javascript for its filtering. (it's off by default to prevent ppl from running malicious scripts. in my experience there was very little fuss getting it turned on, just ask nicely)
you can change your theme by either going to your blog and clicking the palette icon that should show up along the top right, or by going to your settings -> select blog on the sidebar -> second option down is 'edit theme.' if you look for themes anywhere but tumblr's inbuilt theme garden, the steps to install them is 'there will be a link to a site that has the entire html code for the theme, copy it and paste it in the right spot in the theme editor' if you want to change the theme of your whole blog there's an option at the very top of the customization sidebar that says 'edit html,' delete everything that's there and then paste the new code to change the theme for the whole blog.
to add a page, scroll all the way to the bottom of the customization sidebar and hit 'add page'. when you're making a new page you can either use a standard layout, which will basically look like a post on your blog (like my tags page), or a custom layout, which will allow you to edit/paste html to change the entire page (like my characters page). if you're using a page theme you will need to copy paste the code you get from the theme source.
if you're looking for either full blog themes or other page themes, i'd recommend browsing @theme-hunter instead of the inbuilt tumblr theme browser. way better imo. here is specifically character page themes, and they also have some tutorials and guides for changing themes/basic html tweaks, though some seem a bit outdated.
also, the talk of html is probably scary if you aren't familiar with it, but i promise it's not that hard. tweaking tumblr themes is actually how i've picked up enough html knowledge to code simple web pages from scratch lmao

plural culture is opening web browsing history and being met with the most out of context searches
(whoever looked up "how to tell my cat I love her" - I'm sure she knows we all love her buddy do not worry)
Once opened my Google search bar to see the most recent searches were "How much mountain dew is healthy. What to do if I accident drank 4 liters of mountain dew. How to tell your friend you drank all of their mountain dew, when it was supposed to last them 2 weeks"
Sometimes we learn things not from Google, but from seeing our own search history lmao
Also I am very sure your cat knows you love her, if you're worried about it I've been told slow blinking at them can show them you trust them :)

this entire twitter thing is so fucking upsetting man lmao like i really cannot adequately put to words just how infuriating it is to float around a social media for years and meet so many cool people i wouldn't have interacted with otherwise because of just the type of platform twitter was, and within less than a year one crybaby bitch ass of a billionaire takes control of it and piece by piece dismantles it and paywalls it and degrades it in such a way that it is now a worldwide joke. i don't want to go to other social media, i don't want to use "twitter clones." i don't want to join places like hive or cohost that ultimately never made a splash, i don't want to join mastodon and be at the mercy of anyone who moderates the instances i interact with, i don't want to be fractured from the people i have met and enjoy seeing on my feed. i just want twitter to fucking work and not be controlled by some loser whose entire decision making process consists of listening to the worst opinions you've ever heard from complete nobodies kissing ass and going "hm yes sounds reasonable"
anyway i'm really fucking pissed off about legacy tweetdeck finally being put down today and "new" tweetdeck being put behind a paywall. tweetdeck, something i have used exclusively to browse web twitter with since like 2014 or whatever, now being blue exclusive. something a lot of people used to adjust their personal twitter experience to their needs because of how intrusive twitter's interface was, yanked away from anyone who doesn't pony up 8 bucks to some pathetic ass man who has been throwing a year long tantrum and taking it out on all of twitter. and you don't even have a choice of using anything else anymore because jackass killed off all the third party apps. like genuinely what the fuck are we supposed to do

i dont have time to make a thoughtful post about it right now but i realized what troubles me about the web 1.0 revival wave everyone is trying to do. btw im not just talking about "web 1.0" i just mean not social media hellscape in general so no one correct me about what web 1.0 exactly is. anyway, its the fact that its so insular. people aren't applying it to their general browsing habits. like, are you seeking out independent blogs? whether self hosted or on sites like wordpress and blogger? are you seeking out hobbyist blogs and forums?
honestly, even ive fallen out of checking wordpress and the blogs i follow on it, but i really miss stuff like blogrolls so much. i remember when blogging was an actual thing you could build communities around. yeah, its more "web 2.0" since im 25 and that's the internet i mostly grew up with (though web 1.0 hadn't begun to disappear yet).
then twitter came and killed blogging. lmao
like, idk, im just a little guy, i dont have much reach but i really do recommend looking around for blogs to read and leaving comments on their posts and just engaging in general lol. change your habits beyond just browsing neocities (which is still very good)
its probably just a side effect of a lot of people on neocities being very young and growing up while social media already had a strong foothold anyway. but the old web wasn't just geocities pages

My brain’s infected now, and I’m here to infect yours, too. But anyway, time for some Blast Off headcanons because he’s next in my list of zoning-out thoughts. Maybe I’ll get to Brawl afterwards, I don’t know.
Gonna do a numbers list (I can hear the witnesses of this future post screaming):
1. He gives me MAJOR middle child vibes. Like, there’s five of them, so even the “middle” children are either gonna be second-oldest middle or second-youngest middle. Blast Off is middle middle in my head, though. Probably got left at lots of stores as a kid lmao (Hope you’re not a middle child, that’s such a horrible stereotype… even if it’s true 90% of the time).
2. Probably the most/least affected by the apocalypse to be honest. He strikes me as someone who doesn’t socialize outside his sibling group and probably doesn’t ever leave the house, but is likely very, very disappointed about all the power grids going down because now he can’t browse the dark web at three in the morning while everyone else sleeps like beings with average sleep schedules.
3. I bet anything First Aid probably assumed there were only four Combaticon brothers at first. Several weeks into staying at the farmhouse with everyone though, he’s at the sink filtering water or something and then turns around to be met with someone he first mistakes for a zombie that somehow managed to slip into the house. It’s just Blast Off though, and he’s come down to refill his water bottle.
4. I bet anything that he’d find a way to get internet wired to his bedroom but just WOULDN’T tell anyone. Not because he’s selfish or wants to keep it to himself, but because he literally just doesn’t even consider it.
5. Someone—either Brawl or Onslaught—is in charge of making sure Blast Off gets regular meals on a daily basis, but neither one is willing to open the door and barge in like siblings normally do. Instead, they always leave it by the door and then knock as though Blast Off is some prisoner locked in their basement or something. Blast Off doesn’t complain though, and he appreciates the lack of interruptions.
6. I was gonna shorten his name to BO, like Blast Off for short, but then I was like WAIT FUCK NO DON’T DO THAT because… you know, B.O. and what not. BUT I bet his siblings call him that for short even if it’s not true. Blast Off is probably the second most obsessed with personal hygiene among the five siblings, only second to Swindle, who spends more time in the single small hardly-working bathroom than literally anyone else in the house combined.
Hmmm that’s all for now, just kind of random thoughts that accumulated. I can’t guarantee that my brain will come up with stuff for Brawl, but I should since then he’ll be left out and I’ll feel bad. Sorry Brawl.
On one hand I feel bad making them siblings in the zombie au because then you lose out on the really adorable blast off/onslaught BUT. I gotta be honest it’s funnier having him be just a neet. Black sheep of the family except it’s because he doesn’t like violence as much as everyone else (he still likes it just fine just not ENOUGH according to them)
“I can’t believe it, he spends all his time DOING STUFF ON THE COMPUTER. WILLINGLY.” (Swindle can use the computer but he pretends he hates it because otherwise they’d all bother him to do their taxes or set up Amazon returns)
Also. Brawl has such. Zero characterization in the comics that any nugget of character building given to him is doubling his lore. He’s a nothing burger of a guy. It’s sad. Give him hobbies. Or a passing interest in geology.

We’ve deployed some performance and stability improvements for browsing feeds through the site, including the ability to truly handle endless scrolling. If you disabled endless scrolling in your dashboard preferences on web because it was laggy, give it another try! If you disabled it because you like paged browsing better, keep on keeping on! You’ll still benefit from these improvements.
…so is this why the site is loading so badly for me now lmao.
