Okay, so I know this is almost three whole weeks late, due to ridiculously high ambitions on a short time limit, but if you're still in a spooky enough mood for a Halloween Party...

THE HAUNTED HOUSE by New Mayfair Dance Orchestra

Ok so we know you love Benny (rightfully so, I mean look at the man) but do you have any thoughts on the other Chairmen? Swank and Tommy specifically?

I have so many thoughts on the Vegas families but even more on the Chairmen just because of how unique their position is.

Like to start off, I have mentioned and still fully believe the Chairmen are the most paranoid and distrusting of all of the Vegas families. You can get sucked into many personal dramas and plights when it comes to the other Vegas Families; Quest-lines that get you super involved with their inner workings and pasts, ergo, quest-lines like Beyond the Beef and How Little We Know. Other than the very little side quest we get from Tommy, where you don’t even out in a good word for the Aces Theater for the talent recruits, your very boxed out with the Chairmen.

While the other families are more curious and intrigued by the NCR and Legion tensions rising, House being killed and other things, the Chairmen are always paranoid, concerned and negative. They mention wanting to leave like in the old days but can’t drop the act. They don’t mention anything that isn’t in a way that relates back to them and it tells how little they wish to or do interact with those outside the family. Swank mentions how he doesn’t trust the other families and the sentiments are shared with Tommy who discourages you from seeing the other sights. They are probably not purposely isolating themselves but they keep to their own. I only think this is extrapolated by House favoring Benny as a successor and possibly more restrictions on them. They were the first family and likely the prototype of whatever is detailed in their contracts. House was not as lenient as he is now, taking Swank referring to House’s rules into account.

Specifically about Tommy and Swank is interesting. Tommy feels like he’s older to me, not like more mature but he’s been around to see how far the Boot-Riders changed into the Chairmen. He’s not like an old guy either but older than Swank and Benny. I like to think he’s a middle ground to Swank and Benny, where Benny is the idealist, Swank is the nihilist and he’s there realist. You gotta real with people when you work in entertainment. He has a keen eye and can tell when things aren’t right but doesn’t jump out of his lane, not without provocation that is. In relation to Benny, I think Tommy’s like a snide older brother type guy. He rips on Benny cause the guy is so obsessed with not being seen as a tribal anymore but Tommy of all people can see when someone is playing too much into a bit. Benny keeps him close cause he keeps him real.

Swank is described in universe by House as being dependable but unimaginative. I don’t think that’s fully the case but he isn’t the person to push things in my eyes either. He has complaints but he does what he’s asked of and is loyal. More of a “Are you sure” Man than a “Yes” Man. I don’t think he sees the best in the people around him but prefers to see them as static. I take this with how hard it is to convince him that Benny is a traitor and how he seems shocked you are so ready to kill him. Things run a certain why and it’s why he likes that. It’s why he’s so good a managing The Tops. He wants things to run smooth and easy and everyone to be having a time. He’s the type to struggle with a shift in change at first but then forget why when the new song and dance start to come naturally. He plays the part just like Benny but also reminds him of what they came from. He’s his most trusted advisor and friend keeps him in focus.

This is all personal opinion and just a quick run down of it. But I hope I answered at least some of what you asked:p

Playing Nu Carnival and I haven’t started the recent event or gotten anywhere close to finishing the story yet (stuck on the bear fight in Blade’s chapter) but I’m gonna be honest Huey sounds like he fucking sucks

You guys some serious birthday week magic happened. At last minute, my parents and brother were able to get my birthday off from work. My mom and brother also have tomorrow (my mom's birthday) off. So we're going to have cake tomorrow and celebrate my mom. Then we'll have all of Saturday to celebrate my birthday together. Dinner plans are back on. I'll get my avocado rolls 🥰.

one of the (many) reasons why this exchange makes me so emotional is that Dazai knows very well the feeling of only ever being used and taken advantage of as a tool, and not knowing anything other than that life. He understands that Sigma can’t yet comprehend the notion of someone wanting you without any ulterior motives, of people just having natural relationships that don’t involve wanting to get something out of each other, because that was his life before he met Oda, who was a “balm for the soul” (in his own words) for him; hence, he doesn’t try to explain it to Sigma at first. But he does relent once Sigma takes Dazai’s initial silence as him being unworthy for an explanation... He doesn’t go into more detail as to why “understanding would be difficult”, because that would require opening up about himself which is something Dazai is still far from ready for, and because he knows Sigma wouldn’t be able to fully understand or accept all of this yet, but just the two reasons he does give for choosing him are already causing Sigma to start to rethink everything he’s ever known about the world and how people treat each other.

Dazai chose him to use his ability, just like everyone who’s always used Sigma has -- but he also chose him to save his life, and to help the agency, people he cares about and wants to help for completely selfless reasons, without expecting anything in return (sure, Dazai jokes about him being on the agency’s payroll, but that’s just his usual deflecting to avoid admitting that he cares :’). This is completely foreign behavior in Sigma’s world, where everyone has to use each other in order to survive, but he’s realizing that Dazai is different from them: he’s realizing what it feels like to be wanted simply out of compassion and love, and not because of how valuable he may be. Sigma isn’t just any other ordinary orphan Dazai saves; he wants to save him particularly because he empathizes with him and sees his old, hurt, jaded self in him, and he’s slowly becoming the balm for the soul for Sigma that Oda was for himself back then, which is truly touching.

This is supposed to be funny...I think...

Sanji: "Are you coming or are you staying?"

Usopp: "Why would I go if there's a perfectly good beanbag and a very large flatscreen tv here and not there?"

Sanji: "I fail to see the point but whatever. Later then I guess..."

Usopp: "He 'fails to the see the point', the point is there is a comfy beanbag here and not one there."

Anyone know a good casino app with gambling style games that DON'T have you bet real money but instead points or something, or if they let you use real money it's optional. I wanna play my casino games but don't wanna wind up broker than I already am lmao

Mc should be a billionare then, right?

THE SONG EVER

finally finished s4 of bungo stray dogs today and i really think that magic page/book is perhaps the greatest macguffin of all time. like this show is SO batshit insane with random and DRASTIC changes in tone and focus and all of that can just be neatly explained away if the finale of the entire show is written well. like they really just need to explain that WHOOPSIE someone’s seven year old niece who’s fascinated in mystery novels got a hold of the most powerful magical item in the world and has been writing the loosest definition of a “narratively sound” detective book in the world in crayon and the whole thing has been coming true. 

I'm being dragged back into Cuphead against my will and will be reblogging stuff. PLEASE tell me if I rb from a proshipper, k? k.

BIRTHDAY CREATURES YIPPEE❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️

Bro while I’m awake

I think that Cuphead and bbieal has the ones of the best AU’s. Just think about it

CASINO CUPS bro omg, I was so addicted to it bro. I keep reading it back to back. It like the storytelling made you want to keep reading it like a random premise of like what would happen if “cuphead and mug man came back only to get a job” and I watch to comic dubs the voice acting was just too good.

The Baldi’s had a thing like undertale where there where different baldi’s like owo baldi or science baldi. There so many baldi’s I remember they all came together one time. Just imagine what a baldi’s convention would be like bro.

BFFR rn it’s 12am I need to sleep bro

I almost forgot lil Lucifer au slap hard bro. I also got in trouble reading it(look in the tags)

WAIT WAIT HOLD ON BEFORE I REALLY GO I REMEMBER SOMETHING.

I remember that I made a bfdi x casino cup like they would “win” the casino if they beat it. If I had to pick who would win it would of been blocky.

the concept of a michael/lucifer roleswap au is super cool and not heart wrenching at all*bursts into tears
