March 29th-31st, 2021
MARCH 29th
Tumblr media
Only 104 letters...I don’t think I’ll correct him. His mind’s already blown. I can’t think how he would react to 26 letters.
Tumblr media
CUTE I bought a pair of these to flank the entrance, replacing the 2021 balloon arch.
Tumblr media
DANGIT I only had 5 sand dollars on the island. But Redd was visiting, and I was able to entice my mom over to buy something from Redd. In the same visit, she brought me the rest of the materials I needed for this table - thanks, Donner!
MARCH 30th
Tumblr media
Hee, such a kiddo.
Tumblr media
Ooh! I’ll put this next to the warp pipe at my house - that’ll be cute!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Made Chai’s final souvenir and convinced her to move.
Tumblr media
I really would have liked to keep Bertha because she’s so sweet, but I already have two other normal-type villagers on the island. I’LL LOVE YOU FOREVER, BERTHA BUDDY
Tumblr media
Got this holiday recipe from a balloon.
MARCH 31st
Tumblr media
YAY CANDY I bought one for myself and also one for each villager on the island. I’m going to work on handing them out over the next few days. I hope I can get friendly enough with newcomers Etoile and Chai before Bunny Day to make the gift more relevant.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Marty is the last Sanrio villager I want to invite to live on the island. He will be replacing Big Top to keep my count of lazy-types below three. I will miss Big Top though, he’s been a lot of fun.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Two more new recipes found from balloons. I do love the colorful egg fence!
Tumblr media
Now showing some of the new/updated spots of my island. I think I’ve shown my new cafe before, but it’s more officially complete now (the table with the cup of tea beside the sofa).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Getting ready for those warmer days with a pool area on the beach, for those who don’t want to swim in saltwater with sea critters. Also got a nice popsicle stand for when you want to dry off but also stay cool.
Tumblr media
My new bedroom with a whole lot of Sanrio fluffiness.

Families Can Be Made
So I was thinking that I’ve read stories about Pidge and Keith adopting a baby Galran and I was thinking that I could also see them adopting a teen. Cuz they are so badass, so here we go! This will probably be a few one shots when I have time. I’m just starting to feel better so hopefully I can go back to my actual stories. But I will be doing one shots as inspiration strikes! Hope you enjoy and please let me know what you think!!!
Pidge is working in her lab, per her usual Wednesday routine when suddenly the door is slammed opened and Keith stalks in. “I can’t do this! The cadets are idiots! It’s like I’m teaching a bunch of”
Pidge started laughing, “What a bunch of you!?”
Keith arched a brow, “No, I was going to say a bunch of Lance’s but maybe it’s really a bunch of you!”
I smirked, “You’d be so lucky.”
Keith rolled his eyes, “Okay, maybe it’s not just one of anything but this group is trying my nerves. Maybe I’m not cut out for this, why did I think I could be a teacher? I have no patience! I”
Pidge finally stops typing to spin her chair around, curling her index finger, she motions for Keith to come closer. “Okay Mr, no, Commander Kogane, you do this every year. I can’t do this…this is so hard…my students are idiots…blah, blah, blah. And every year, you adjust, you wing it, you get annoyed, yell and you connect. YOU, my love, are an amazing teacher!!! Really teaching doesn’t even cover it because, you are MORE than that! You become their friend and mentor. But honestly, stop the fucking whining!” With that last statement she punches him in his solar plexus.
Keith huffs out a cough, then laughs, wrapping his arms tightly around his wife, “Shut up. You have no idea, you have interns who like to please you. Shit they live to make you smile! I have students who like to”
Giggling, Pidge interjects, “Challenge you. That’s what you were going to say right? And if, I know my husband, and I do! He is going to have his students whipped into shape in no time!” Leaning up she nipped his lip, then pulled his head down for a better kiss, a deeper kiss, a kiss that after all these years still makes her giddy.
Keith quickly settled in, pulling her closer and maneuvering her to the edge of the table, just as he was getting her maneuvered so she would lay down on the table, he heard an alarm. Sighing, he arched a brow.
She grinned, “The game is afoot!” Pushing him, she hops down off the table and runs to her data pad. “Someone made it past Drew’s initial security system. That means we have a hacker! Oh boy! This is gonna be awesome! I wonder who it is…first year? Had to be…the other ones have never shown any interest.”
As she starts mumbling and pulling up multiple screens, he queries,“Security system? What security system? Drew-our ten year old son-Drew? What the???”
“Now honey, Drew and I are essentially creating a system of security for our offices and a few other strategic places. No, no, don’t give me that look! He needs practice and he needs to challenge himself. And let’s be honest, while the school they attend is good…it’s not Holt good. So I came up with this little game…and well we just got triggered.” With a very gremlin and almost evil look on her face she rubbed her hands together.
Keith closes his eyes and sighs. Of course. The lab door again slams into the wall. “MOM!!!! We got someone!!! Did you see, did you see?!!”
Keith opens his eyes to see his son, looking WAY too happy, along with Matt, Hunk and …there we go, Finn and Abbey pulling up the rear. Sighing, he knew they were in for the long haul. He stood up trying to adjust his pants and went to pick up his youngest at 6. “Abbey, hey precious girl! What are you guys doing here?” She at least wouldn’t lie to him! He had to act quick before the others covered for her.
“Daddy!! Uncle Matt and us were going to surprise mommy!! And then our trap was pulled! Yay! It’s party time!”
Keith looked to Uncle Matt, “And I’m to believe, you just showed up here?”
Matt grinned, that damn Holt grin, seriously it should be illegal. And now he has three mini Holts, he’s doomed!
Matt states calmly, “Well, Drew might have mentioned that some things were in play so we might of just come to see. Then who do I run into? Hunk! What the odds?”
Keith looked to Hunk who was trying not to make eye contact. “Um, I have cookies.”
Keith shook his head, this group was incorrigible. Shaking his head, he grabbed a cookie and settled in. “So you just happened by with cookies? Sure, by all means, let the show begin!”
Drew smiled, “Dad! I’m so glad you are here! I didn’t want you to miss it but mom said that you would find out somehow…she said it’s like you have a sixth sense!!!”
Keith nodded, “Oh, yeah, I do. And experience, let’s not forget that!”
As Matt, Hunk and Drew gathered around Pidge and her computers, Abbey and Finn rushed to fill Keith in on their day with Uncle Matt. Nodding and eating, Keith got up to get drinks for the kids when he heard an “AHA!”
Looking over, he handed the chocolate milk to their youngest two and looked over Pidge’s shoulder. “Hey, that boy-he’s in my class. Quiet, sits in the back, missing homework.”
Pidge grins, “This kid is a genius. We gotta catch him in the next stage!”
When Keith looks confused, Drew replies, “DAD, we made it so if you make it through the first system, you don’t KNOW, that we caught YOU!!! But we DID! So when they go to the next step, we KNOW!! Then BAM! Trap set!”
“Okay kiddo, you know you don’t have to yell, right? I’m right here. Literally next to you. So, you all cannot come and catch this kid. You know that right?”
Pidge smiles, “No worries, said kid, he’s coming to us. It’s all part of my plan, my pretty!”
Abbey jumps, “That’s like Wizard of Oz!” She then proceeds to sing, at top volume, “Somewhere over the Rainbow”. Keith opens his mouth, only to have Finn yell, “STOP! Your voice is hurting my ears!”
Crying ensures, until Hunk scoops up Abbey and walks her over to the fish tank and Matt grabs Finn, explaining how big brothers have to be careful because little sisters are very sensitive. Pidge growls but ignores the conversation for the greater good.
A loud ear piercing whistle breaks out, Keith looks around the room. “Plan and places-now.”
Pidge smiles, “Okay, Finn and Abbey, got to my room and you can watch a movie-Finn it’s your turn to pick, Abbey-one more milk then that’s it-now.” Hurt feelings forgotten, both run to watch their favorite cartoon. Matt and Hunk set up near the datapads and video screens doing some modifying. To what Keith has no clue.
Which left Drew, Pidge and Keith. Keith looks to Pidge, “Well apparently this is your guys show. Or should I say party? What’s next?”
Pidge looks to Drew, “Little man, fill dad in.”
Drew grins, mischievously, “Well, Dad, let’s go catch our hacker.”
Two hours later…
Keith, Pidge and Drew have a very aloof teenaged boy trapped in a hall. He looks up, and for a moment, fear flashes in his eyes. Then a mask settles. “So, I guess I got caught. Whatever, kick me out already. It’s not like I want to be here. Fuck it!”
Drew’s eyes are big, “MOM! He said the F-word!! I wanna say the F-word, it’s no fair!”
Pidge grins, “I told you, once you hit the teen years, you can. Until then…quiznack it up!”
Keith closes his eyes, just for a second, before he lands a hard glare on the boy in front of him. “What do you think you were doing? Do you not have enough homework? Not enough drills? This is”
“Amazing!” Pidge interjects, “You did great, got farther than even I thought! So, what tripped you up? I saw you trying to backtrack at some point but then it looks like you gave up.”
The kid looked shocked.
Keith takes a step forward, trying to gain control of this mess, “Okay, let’s”
Pidge notices how the kid locked down his expression, essentially looking like he didn’t have a care in the world. Which she KNEW was an act. She’s a mom now, and let’s just say she’s gained a very good insight to kids. This boy, while technically a teenager, was still a kid. A smart kid. Who was different. While many different species lived on Earth now, not everyone was kind to Galra’s even after all this time. And in the second Pidge processed all this, she made a decision. He was going to be her protégé.
Interrupting Keith is never a good idea but being his wife did come with some benefits. So she pushed forward, “Pidge, what’s your name?”
The kid looked..surprised. Surprise is good. She offers her hand, giving him time to process and catch up.
“Um, well, my name, is, um, Mason. I mean, Private Micheal Mason. Ma’am.”
“Well hell, I thought we were being nice. I’m not a ma’am, nope you can call me Pidge or Mrs. Kogane, got it?”
“Yes, sorry.”
“And I’m Drew Kogane. You almost beat me but I still won!”
Pidge could see that the kid was shocked the program was from Drew, his pride was probably hurting now. Before he said something stupid, because she was sure he would, she decided to say something.
“Yes, Drew and I set a little experiment. Why don’t you come with me and let’s see where you went right and where you might have tripped up? You free now?”
Mason hesitantly replied, “Yes, it’s family weekend so everyone has free time.”
Drew interrupted, “Is your family coming?”
Pidge could see the answer in the set of his shoulders and wondered how he would respond. He had a wall around him but, well, so did Keith. Hell, she was good at getting around walls, through walls, over walls- virtual or physical.
Mason looked down at Drew. “No, no one is coming for me.”
Drew nodded, “Okay, then you can come with us. We can revise.”
Mason’s eyes bounced from Drew to Keith to Pidge’s. “Huh?”
Before Keith could get out a word, Pidge starts, “Yup, come with us. You did an amazing job hacking. But, it’s still sloppy. You gotta watch your time when you do stuff like this. Leave no trace has gotta be the goal.” As she is talking she is maneuvering Drew and Mason towards her lab.
Keith sighs, “Pidge! We cannot reward”
Pidge turns, bumping into Keith, “Babe. It’s not like he hacked into the Garrison. He hacked into mine and Drew’s program.” Lowering her voice, “You know it can’t be easy for him.” Pressing her hand into his chest, right over his heart, while pulling him close, “You know, I know. Let me help him, please.”
Keith sighs, “Damn it. How am I not immune to your shit by now?”
Pidge grins and leans up to kiss him. Leaning into him, slowly snaking her hand into his hair.
Meanwhile, Mason turns and sees his INSTRUCTOR kissing. That really nice woman. He turns around quickly, face red, only to see the little kid groan.
“Yeah, you kinda just have to ignore that. They kiss a lot!!! It’s not normal but what are you going to do. They just act like that, so we gotta cept it. So, now , tell me how you were able to disrupt my algorithm.”

Tumblr media
⚠️MAJOR ENDGAME SPOILERS⚠️
🔗 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠: bucky barnes x reader || tony stark x daughter!reader || avengers x reader
📖 𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲: when tony died, y/n stark resurrects him with her healing powers. but it comes with great cost.
📣 𝐚/𝐧: so yeah, i thought this plot in my head and it seemed a great one to write, so i did. i hope you enjoy it! :]
⚠️ 𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬: extreme angst, death, endgame spoilers
Tumblr media
"i am iron man." tony spoke, his voice wavering. and just like that he snapped his fingers. a blinding light illuminated from where he was knelt. with that, he was thrown back towards a piece of debree that had crashed to the ground.
one by one, thanos' army began to disappear. thanos looked at tony in awe. that's until his figure was swept away into dust. never to be seen again.
everyone looked around. y/n stark included. a bright smile lit up on her face. until she saw. she saw her dad dying.
peter parker was the first to see tony as he sat there, his arm limp beside him.
"tony." peter cried out. "we did it." his hands placed on tony's shoulders.
y/n ran to her dad's side. she gently nudged peter out of the way and crouched down by tony. pepper behind her. tears flooding from her eyes.
"dad. dad please." she whimpered. y/n placed her hand on his left hand and gave it a small squeeze. "you're gonne be okay dad. you're gonna be okay."
tony took her hand in, and with the last wave of energy he had left, he squeezed back.
"FRIDAY, scan vitals." pepper said behind y/n. the sound of pepper choking on her tears were heard.
"fatal injuries." FRIDAY spoke. y/n took in a deep breath and opened her eyes wide.
she stood up. a deathly look on her face. she peered around the people that she had grown up with. steve looked distraught. as did the rest of them. rhodey held peter at his side, calming the boy down. that's when y/n knew.
she sauntered over to bucky. he had since dropped the gun to the floor. his eyes showed a sadness unlike any other there. and y/n knew why. a thought played in her mind.
"you can't marry him y/n! i won't argue with you about this topic!" tony yelled.
"who are you to tell me who i can and can't marry? i love him dad! whether you like that or not!" y/n shot back. tony looked hurt.
"y-you know what he's done. you know what he did. to me." tony said hushed. y/n sadly frowned. of course she knew. but that wasn't her bucky. that was the winter soldier. and as much as she hated to say, she had grown to love bucky. too much to just ditch him before the wedding.
"yes i know dad. but-but that wasn't bucky. that was the winter soldier. you know that. he had no control." y/n spoke softly. not wanting to shout anymore.
"fine. marry him. do what you want. i don't care anymore. but i will not be attending." y/n knew that was coming and she had prepared herself for that 'speech'. so she just nodded.
"okay dad. i understand." and with that she walked away.
now they were here. y/n took bucky into her arms and gave him a strong hug. he buried his head into y/n's neck and brought his metal hand to the back of her head. stroking her hair. soothing her pain. y/n then pulled away. she took of her wedding band and engagement band. y/n then took bucky's hand in hers and placed them in his flesh palm. bucky's mouth dropped in confusion. y/n then pushed his fingers over his palm to form a fist, enclosing the rings gently in his grip. a few people saw this, including steve, clint and t'challa. she then looked back at bucky and smiled, a tear trailing down her red cheek. bucky just frowned mournfully, his eyes glassy.
"i love you james buchanan barnes." y/n said.
"i love you too y/n m/n barnes." bucky replied. his eyes searched hers for a reason as to why she had done what she did. but he just saw pain.
y/n reached up and placed her hands on either side of his face and brought him down to place a soft kiss on his lips. bucky wrapped his muscular arms around her frame and brought her closer to him. their lips still together. he kissed with such passion and emotion, they forgot about the people around them. until y/n pulled away.
"don't forget what i said bucky." she said, tapping his chest and walking away.
"y/n-" bucky called out softly. she ignored it.
"FRIDAY what will happen if i bring dad back?" she ask the AI in a hushed tone.
"it's a risky 50/50 chance miss." FRIDAY ensured.
y/n didn't care about risk anymore. her life had been full of risks.
"which 50 is the strongest?" y/n asked, biting her lip. she reached tony and looked down at him.
"dying." FRIDAY replied vaguely. y/n gulped.
"and if i survive?"
"intense care will be needed miss stark." y/n smirked at the fact FRIDAY refused to call her mrs barnes. instead the software called her by her madain name or just miss.
"well, here goes nothing." y/n sniffled. she looked back at bucky and nodded. her attention then went back to her dad. she looked strongly at his body. she could do this. but what would the consequences be. death or survival?
"everybody move!" y/n called. a few people moved back. but bucky stood where he was.
"please. move." she said. the rest of them did. unsure of what she was about to do. but bucky had a good idea of what.
"y/n-" but before he could announce his word of disagreement. y/n had started her work.
blue and white flares fell from her hands and attached themselves to tony's body. the colour from his once pale face, had started to fall through.
y/n's body started to collapse. her hands grew shakey. her swell cheeks had sunk in, leaving her cheekbones bare. y/n's bright eyelids had fallen and left her e/c eyes a dark deathly colour.
that's when pain seeped through.
"y/n stop this!" she could hear. she didn't know who spoke, but she heard it clearly.
y/n stared further at tony, hoping for him to open his eyes at least.
is body had resurrected. it looked as good as new. the once enflamed right arm, had been repaired and the soft skin was shown. the cuts on his face and neck had been cleansed and had disappeard. leaving no trace of being there.
with one final flick of her fingers, she screamed. she screamed until her dad was alive and well. she screamed for the physical pain she felt. she screamed for love. her love for her dad. her love for the team. and her love for bucky.
and with that last push, tony's eyes blinked open fast. y/n let herself go. she flew back and hit the ground.
tony gasped out loud, breaking for air.
pepper shot forward and craddled tony in her arms.
people were releaved to see tony alive. but some were more worried about someone else. y/n.
bucky ran over to y/n. pulling her into his arms.
"y/n, come on doll. come on." he said hushed. her eyelids were closed. bucky was mentally beating himself up.
at this point, steve had slid down next to bucky and held his shoulder.
"i'm sorry buck." he whsipered.
"she was the only one. one of the only ones that understood and cared." bucky cried.
tont had noticed people circling around someone.
"where's y/n?" he asked pepper. pepper's face fell.
"she erm-" tony then slowly pushed himself of the floor. he said something, which removed his suit. it stood there as he walked away.
he moved over to see bucky cradling y/n in his arms. his beautiful y/n. his baby. she looked lifeless.
"FRIDAY, vitals?" tony gasped. dropping to the floor next to bucky. bucky passed y/n's body to tony. tony pushed his hands through her disheveled hair. tears rolled down his cheeks, through his beard and onto y/n's face.
"mr stark, i found a heartbeat, but it's weak." tony whimpered at the thought of his little girl, dead in his arms.
"come on kiddo." tony brushed her hair back, leaving her forehead bair. "come one kiddo. you're gonna be okay." tony rocked them both back and forward.
bucky sat on the floor staring at y/n. he was broken. the only person he had learnt to love more than steve, was dying.
"mr stark. i've lost a heartbeat." FRIDAY said.
bucky let out a shrill cry and punched the floor.
tony cried out too.
pepper was in tears.
steve had moved away to cry silently.
wanda was in peaces. she had lost too many people she loved due violence.
everyone else, they were all the same.
they had all lost someone special. y/n. they would now have to move on. and as horrible and hard that would be. they had to live without their emotional support. their smile in the morning. their bubbly character. their y/n...
"goodbye kiddo, you made your old man proud." tony said, leaving a kiss on her bruised forehead.
he placed her gently on the floor, before standing up and walking to bucky. they stood side by side and looked down at the girl that brought them both so much love and happiness...
Tumblr media

Oh no what's this? It's back again? Yup! Welcome back! It's me the judy, back here with another review! This time you think it's gonna be easier, buT NOPE IT JUST HURTS MORE! The second chapter is my favorite so far just because I get so much feels from these heckies! The third chapter was also good, but I will get there once we're finished with this one. Here is the link to the first part along with the second one too! > https://cr-incorrect-quotes.tumblr.com/post/190279246139/cr-incorrect-quotes-hello-welcome-to-my-first
This post will most likely be the same due to there being so many pages that I want to talk about to the point of not being able to fit everything into one so yeah! Expect a part 2 for Chapter 2! If you want to read the comic, here it is > http://children-rekindled.top/?c=1&p=1 Let's start!
Tumblr media
Oh no we all know what this means that little heck is finally back and I was already screaming because of course I would be?? I missed him so much y'all- ALSO DANIEL SOUNDS SO CONFUSED AND THAT HURT CAUSE I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IS COMING AND I DON'T WANNA READ IT AGAIN, but surprise! Bon made it worse this time!! I'll get to that later-
Tumblr media
EW EW E W EW When I was first reading this and even now, iT'S SO DISGUSTING?? The visual of a soul just having to come out of a mouth of a corpse is gross in all ways omg I wonder if there is a reason behind Freddy having no eyes in the first panel though?? Apart from the fact that it is just creepy, it doesn't show up anymore. Instead, on the same page, it just goes back to the normal eyes. It was probably just a creepy factor put into it to make it look more morbid, but sometimes creators have reasons!
Tumblr media
Sometimes I sit here, glad nothing else was shown because I would rather not have to see him climb out of there. aLSO SAMMY HELPS HIM OUT AND THAT MAKES ME UWU! he really needs all the help he can get and I'm glad someone is there for him. Y'all don't know how much I love this blind babey boy
Tumblr media
BABEY NOOO IM COMING TO HELP YOUUU This panel is good, bUT SO SAD OMG I WANNA HELP HIM CAUSE HE'S IN A LOT OF PAIN QMQ I don't even wanna know his thoughts right now and how confused he is internally. Does he even consider how he would still be moving around even when suffering this really bad pain? He's probably just in too much shock and denial to wrap his head around it.
Tumblr media
SOBBING SOUNDS Daniel freaking out over this hurts me every time omg I just want to hug him?? He just wants to go home and we all know that at this point, he can't even do that anymore.
Tumblr media
BIANCAAAAAAAA What was she even doing?? Unlike Daniel, she had somehow already gotten out, but was just staring at the ground?? Was she confused about something and just lost in thought to the point of completely zoning out till Daniel realized she was there? Maybe she wasn't even there for long. She could have been still processing all of this pain(?) ALSO DANIEL'S REALIZATION THAT HIS NAME WAS SAID MAKES ME SOB I LOVE HIM SM
Tumblr media
can Bianca hug me like that??? Please???? I want someone to hug me like that one day I'm gonna beg- SHE'S HECKIEING CRYING AND THAT HURTS A LOT IM QWQ I mean of course she would be?? She saw Daniel die right in front of her. Bianca being so worried yet not even questioning how he isn't just dead already due to the severe blood loss makes me really wonder how much denial they are going through at the moment. Although who would wanna think they died and became a ghost? For people who don't even believe in that stuff, it would be hard to even accept. If you're a ghost, that means you're dead. There's no going back. ALSO THE PUPPET STARES INTO MY SOUL AND IS TERRIFYING- everyone thank bon for giving us another terrifying image
Tumblr media
AHAHA N E C C the smol good girl is coming very soon and I'm so excited!! I love her sm,,why is she hiding though?? Did she get scared due to all of the screaming and sounds going on around that she just decided to hide behind this big animatronic that could protect her from the dangers out there?
Tumblr media
THANKS FOR CALLING HER OUT CAUSE SHE'S SMALL BIANCA- Well Charlie's design is definitely a lot different than the one in the original! She still looks heckieing red and burned up, but doesn't have that weird mouth like last time.
Tumblr media
OH NO OH NO NO NO SAMMY WHAT HAVE U DONE- Charlie is already starting to freak out and that hurts. I love the different reactions we get here because Charlie is just in denial, hoping it is a dream while Daniel doesn't even look like he has proceeded it all fully yet till the next page where he is basically having a complete mental breakdown. I really want to know how Bianca feels about this entire thing too.
Tumblr media
THERE IS A LOT I WANT TO TALK ABOUT HERE! For one, it might be one of my favorite pages that really hit me hard to the point of being my emotional mess of a self- I feel as though Bon really portrayed them reacting to being dead rather well? Or at least he did with Daniel and it hit in the feels right enough. Being someone who would die for Daniel, it hurt reading this for the first time because I'm sure we all want to do what Bianca does and just give him a tight hug. Did them freaking out happen in the original? I don't remember actually? from what I remember, Bianca was the one reacting the most to all of it- Bianca just crying over how Daniel is having this mental breakdown really hurt because she wants him to be okay and realizing they aren't would just hurt to the point of actually going and comforting him. I REALLY WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT HOW SHE FEELS WITH THE SITUATION- Was her breaking down because of Daniel being all sad mixed with her just reacting to the entire thing?? It's also shown in Chapter 3, but Bianca is really caring towards Daniel and most of the time wants to make him feel better in certain situations. If she wasn't able to save or even help him before, this is her chance now.
Tumblr media
FRANCIS IS CRYING AGAIN I REPEAT FRANCIS IS CRYING-
Like I said before, the difference in reactions towards all of this is great. It's obvious that he was emotional about it too, but instead of having some sort of mental breakdown, he just "accepted" it and tried to figure out what they can do. It's understandable cause what else are they supposed to do when in front of reality??
Tumblr media
OMG POOR BOYO!! HOW IS HE EVEN STANDING AIAUFIAKF for a while, I just thought his side got slashed and he bled out, nOT THAT HIS ENTIRE SIDE JUST GOT RIPPED OUT LIKE WOW OK THAT MUST HURT LIKE HELL- honestly Francis feeling really sorry about not being able to save Charlie just hurts sm?? THESE KIDDOS FEEL BAD CAUSE THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO SAVE ONE ANOTHER AND IT JUST HHH 
Tumblr media
OH NO NOT THIS AGAIN DAMMIT- At least this time it's not coming out of a mouth of a corpse, but jeez Sammy pls chill- I love how the black substance just goes along with the mouth so it looks like the inside of the Puppet's mouth is just oil or some black liquid. Speaking of that, I also love how the blood is black!! I forgot the reason for that, but it gives them a cool look!
Tumblr media
sammy please chill
they don't even know him yet and he's acting like a complete psychopath. If I was logical, I would think he is! Being there for who knows how long would do something to someone! Especially something would could easily be hinted at here through his insanity even when just getting out. 
Tumblr media
I don't trust his cute face, but dammit I love him so much already?? Like he was just acting all crazy a pAGE BEFORE, AND NOW HE LOOKS LIKE A SMOL SQUOFT??? It really shows how much he can switch between personalities. I fear for the future after this experience. 
Tumblr media
"Oh, you noticed. Heh." UH YEAH OF COURSE?? IT'S A KNIFE IN YOUR CHEST???
ALSO AHAHAHA FRANCIS'S FACE I CAN'T HANDLE IT
Honestly I feel bad for Daniel because all of this stuff is going on and he can't even see anything?? Like if something really bad just suddenly happened, he would have no idea because all he can get from the situation are the reactions from his friends. I wonder how terrifying it would be when there's so much sound around like during the day?? Big hugs for Daniel y'all 
Tumblr media
wow possession! That's really cool, bUT WHAT IS GOING ON NOW OH NO- 
Tumblr media
OH HECKIEING BEES THAT'S NOT GOOD- Michael's design was heavily changed from last time, but honestly I adore this design sm?? There is a lot less wires so yay he isn't just a bloody mess like last time!! Okay but I wonder if Michael could still take off his head like last time?? Last time, that was shown through some anger from Francis, but this time it's different and that's not shown!! I wonder if it will ever be though.
Tumblr media
MICHAEL NO THAT'S NO WHAT A SANE PERSON SAYS- although I mean?? He does have a point! Even though being dead is a huge hit in general and idk how that would even feel, actually being with friends could have a huge impact on the situation. Imagine if only one died and was stuck there? That would have a completely different impact. I don't think Michael should brush off the fact that they are all dead now, but I do understand why he even mentions that. Trying to stay positive, but maybe try a bit differently babey-
Tumblr media
The part I feared the most, but actually turned out really good? Around the beginning at least! In this version, Francis has much more of a reason for actively being really upset at Michael especially due to what he just said. Although maybe he should chill a bit because some things he says are really eh?? Michael never meant it like that and Francis is just freaking out and yelling at him, but like I said, he actually has a reason and I can't stay that mad. I would hate this entire thing too, although I would be a lot more emotional than angry 
Tumblr media
OKAY THAT'S REALLY OVER THE LINE FRANCIS HOLY HECK-
Charlie has all the rights to be upset at him because him just saying that iS AWFUL?? LIKE DUDE YOU ALL ARE DEAD AND YOU ARE APOLOGIZING FOR SAVING HIM AND SAYING THAT IF YOU HAD KNOWN, YOU SHOULD HAVE JUST LET THE PERSON KILL HIM?? UH- THAT'S NOT NICE AT ALL PLEASE APOLOGIZE
Tumblr media
TELL EM SAMMY!
at least in this version, he gets to the point and it isn't just walls of text aHAIDIAOGKS Sammy please don't blame Daniel though?? He's heCKIEING BLIND WHAT THE HECKIE COULD HE EVEN DO?? wAIT OH NO. IF THIS IS A REBOOT THEN SOME SCENE WITH DANIEL AND SAMMY MIGHT BE REDONE HH IM AFRAID IT'S GONNA EITHER BE MORE FEELS RELATED OR JUST MORE CHILL THAN LAST TIME DUE TO THE PACING?? Sadly it’s time for me to go and make the next part thing to take away from this? This chapter is my favorite so far because of all the feels and there is more so get ready for that!! I'll be back with part 2 eventually! Most of us knows what happens there. Will Sammy find Michael? How will he actually help? Find out next time on aaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

BnHA Chapter 109: Rescue Exercise
Previously on BnHA: Bakugou and Deku’s groups met up after passing phase one of the exam. Bakugou eyed Deku and was all, “I see you made that *~*~*BORROWED POWER*~*~* your own,” which caused me to lose my shit, but then he walked off without saying anything further. Aoyama and Iida were big damn heroes, but Aoyama really took the cake, firing up his laser and using it as a beacon to draw in the remaining class 1-A strays so that they could all regroup and pass. Which they did, with not a second to spare. Back in the anteroom, the 100 remaining examinees were directed to watch as the examiners demolished the testing field with a series of explosions, and then announced that phase two of the exam would be a rescue operation.
Today on BnHA: The exam guys explain that the second part of the test will involve rescuing old folks and little kids from a mock disaster site. The “victims” are professional actors who basically do this for a living. While the group waits for phase two to begin, Sero gossips to the others about Deku and the Weird Naked Girl from Shiketsu Academy. Meanwhile a polite Yeti from Shiketsu comes to apologize to Bakugou on behalf of his dick classmate (the meat lump guy from a couple chapters ago). Shouto goes up to Yoarashi and is all “is it just me or do you hate my guts” and Yoarashi is all “yeah I do, cuz your eyes remind me of Endeavor’s.” Phase two begins and the kids set off a-rescuin’. Deku gets chewed out for not being smiley enough, but recovers. Ochako decides she’s going to stop acting like she’s in a shoujo manga for the time being, which, finally!! The exam continues, with a plot twist or two very clearly on the horizon.
(As always, all comments not marked with an ETA are my unspoiled reactions from my first readthrough of this chapter. I’ve read up through chapter 148 now, so any ETAs will reflect that.)
~new volume time~!
oh. yeahhh
Tumblr media
now that’s the shit I do like. my boys being two sides of the same coin
and in the background it looks like Yoarashi and Todoroki are indeed being rivals, and Todo looks to be embracing his fire side at long last!
and is that Gang Orca just randomly there in the background also or what
anyway
“IT’S ABOUT YOUR QUIRK FUCKWIPE”
(ETA: after this volume, FA got a new translator, and I feel like this was the original translator’s last hurrah lol. to be fair, the guy apparently had a ton of impact on early BnHA fandom. he was even the one who came up with “quirk” as a translation for kosei which obviously stuck. but all the same, I’ve definitely noticed a steep drop in the number of profanities uttered in FA’s translations since he left.)
oh my god shit’s gonna hit the fan. fucking finally. they wouldn’t have brought it up out of the blue in the previous chapter unless things were about to come to a head! I smell another Kacchan essay coming on before these next nine chapters are done
wow look at this title page though
Tumblr media
Todoroki looks very ~moody~ here and I can’t help but feel more daddy angst is on the horizon. there’s got to be some reason why the otherwise stand-up guy Yoarashi keeps looking at him like he smells something bad
yay the character page has the characters in action again instead of just profile pictures of them! for a little while I was afraid Horikoshi was running out of steam to keep doing these. I really like them every time he does one and this is no exception
Tumblr media
Bakugou looks like he’s gotten more jacked. been hittin the gym
is Tokoyami using Dark Shadow to fly...? can he do that?
Rat Principal’s just sitting there in All Might’s lap. interesting to see him here; I assume this means more plot stuff is on the horizon. WHO IS THE TRAITOR
poor Kirishima, shown here a split second away from falling flat on his face
Jirou is perfect as always, I wonder if she’s ever not been perfect
go away Mineta
anyways. on to the chapter
so the first thing I wondered upon reading this opening panel (“we’ll be having you conduct rescues as ‘bystanders’ at this disaster site”) is, what the fuck do they mean by “bystanders.” but thankfully the kids are asking the exact same thing
Tumblr media
oh, you did it as a lesson once. REMEMBER? no I don’t fucking remember because I wasn’t there. I can’t believe you did a bystander rescue lesson without me. fuck you guys!
they’re saying that they won’t be acting as ordinary citizens, but as people who’ve already secured a provisional license. so basically, heroes who happened to be onsite during the disaster
and there are the old men and kids we saw earlier
Tumblr media
I wonder if they’re going to purposely make things as difficult for the rescuers as possible
wow, apparently they all do this professionally. they’ve got fake blood and everything
the exam guy is saying they work for the “Help Us Company” or HUC for short. haha I love this
so okay, the examinees have to rescue them and do it as professionally as possible. but are there any other crazy requirements for this exam like there have been with all of the other ones
wow, apparently not. “this time you and your rescue efforts will be graded via points.” how curiously normal. almost suspiciously so
Iida and Deku are staring at the field
Tumblr media
if that’s the case, I wonder is it just a rescue operation then, or did they hire any actors to possibly play villains as well...? like, exactly how realistic are they going for here
anyway, the resemblance seems to make this more personal for them. Deku’s looking serious and determined. “let’s give it our best shot”
hoh boy Sero is coming over to Kami and Mineta and says he has something to tell them, and immediately you know it’s gonna be about that naked chick from Shiketsu
I’m so torn on this because. basically they think Deku was fooling around with her and they’re like “WHAT, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE EXAM??” and caught somewhere in between outraged and impressed. but like, they’re horny teenage boys and of course they’re gonna be interested
really, if it was just Sero and Kaminari (a.k.a. the two that actually respect their fellow students and haven’t groped and/or attempted to peep on and/or raid their underwear and/or all of the other disgusting things Mineta has done or tried to do), I wouldn’t mind it, because really they’re just gossiping and fantasizing. but as usual Mineta ruins everything
Tumblr media Tumblr media
ffff okay screw it, this is pretty funny. I mostly just like that they all think Deku’s got game now. and this girl is not helping at all
now they’re all disappearing in a cloud of angry fight smoke (as one does), and Ochako is staring
c’mon Ochako you know he wouldn’t do you like that. you know him better than that
over by the refreshments table, some guys from Shiketsu are coming over to say hi to Bakugou
they’re asking did Seiji go after him and he’s like “yeah and I knocked his punk ass out”
this sasquatch-looking guy is apologizing for Seiji’s behavior. hmmm
Tumblr media
hmmmmm. is this sincere? I don’t fucking trust anyone from any of these other schools until the exam is finally over
everyone else is skeptical too lol
Todoroki is remembering Yoarashi’s >:( face from earlier and is like, then wtf was up with that
Tumblr media
Shouto they all have hats. be fucking specific
obviously he’s talking to Yoarashi though
so he’s asking if he did something
Yoarashi’s turning to him like
Tumblr media
“no. absolutely nothing at all”
haha. no, actually he’s addressing him as “son of Endeavor.” so yeah I’m starting to get an inkling here that he doesn’t like Todoroki’s dad
okay, whoa
Tumblr media
okay, HOLD UP. you come into my house and you come up to my son who’s already been through enough dad-related trauma for a lifetime and who already has ten thousand hang-ups about being too similar to his dad, and who is actually THE SWEETEST BOY WHO EVER LIVED, TRUFAX, and you go up to him and you say you don’t like him because HIS EYES ARE THE SAME AS ENDEAVOR’S? Yoarashi, I’ll have you know that I liked you. but if it’s going to be like that, I WILL MAKE YOU MY ADVERSARY IN A HEARTBEAT and don’t think for a second that I won’t!!
AND HE’S REALLY GOING OFF NOW WITHOUT EVEN FUCKING EXPLAINING WHY HE DOESN’T LIKE ENDEAVOR AND WHY HE’S CONDEMNED SHOUTO TO NOT BEING LIKED JUST BECAUSE OF HIS JERK DAD
ARE YOU TRYING TO UNDO ALL THAT SHIT DEKU WORKED SO HARD FOR DURING THE SPORTS FESTIVAL ARC?? DEKU’S ARMS DIED FOR THIS
and I’m not sure if Deku actually saw all of this happening, but now he’s asking if Todoroki is okay
or at least he starts to, but then this girl whose name I unfortunately forgot (hold on I’ll look it up again... Camie) is bidding him farewell and he’s getting distracted by that. and then immediately Kami and Mineta are tearing into him again
meanwhile Ochako is staring at Camie with a weirdly contemplative look
Tumblr media
jealousy!?!??! like, is it not obvious?? there’s a whole shipping thing that Horikoshi is trying to do with you and Deku here, but I’m really skeptical of his ability to pull it off even remotely gracefully. but it sure doesn’t look like it’s going anywhere so I guess WE SHALL SEE
whoa now all of a sudden a voice is blaring over the speakers and interrupting all of their teenage shenanigans
Tumblr media
finally. Todoroki angst aside, that was beginning to get tiresome
Tumblr media
and here they go!
I wonder if they’re also going to be tested on their ability to work with the kids from the other schools here. because in a real life rescue effort, they’d have to put aside their differences. and that scene just before this sure did a good fucking job of establishing that various people here all have various beefs. I hope they don’t get sidetracked by that
so they’re all setting off, and they’re wondering how they’re going to be graded. well, my speculation is that the ones who bring the others together and work cooperatively will get the highest score. in other words, I think this test is going to weed out the ones with too much ego, among other things
so, Bakugou... lol. good luck kiddo
(ETA: sob)
like two seconds in and they already stumbled upon a crying little kid
oh shit these instructors are not fucking around
Tumblr media
DEKU YOU FUCKED UP SOMEHOW
he’s screaming at him why didn’t he check if he was okay first, look at all the blood on him, etc.
he says heroes with provisional licenses need to be able to judge the victims’ situations at a glance. well thank you for the helpful hint dude
someone from another school is saying that they’re going to mark the area as dangerous, and someone else is saying no, make it a wider area because we don’t know if the damage might spread
someone else is making roads and helipads
and some of Ms. Joke’s kids are setting up a temporary refuge and triage station
Aizawa’s rubbing his head and says he knew his kids would fall behind when it came to this sort of thing. well how much training have they had for this?
Tumblr media
okay this is actually really interesting. this is something we haven’t gotten into at all yet
and that kid that was yelling at Deku says that most of all, a hero’s first words upon arriving at the scene shouldn’t be, “OH NO THAT’S TERRIBLE,” but rather...
Tumblr media
wow Deku you really did fuck up, huh. wasn’t this the entire reason you wanted to be a hero in the first place?
but thanks again HUC kid for your free advice
so now Deku is snapping himself out of it and getting his game face on
Tumblr media
I kinda wish his game face wasn’t so cuddly, but I’ll take it
now the HUC kid is immediately getting back in character and telling Deku to go save his grandpa
so Deku’s directing the others to go help gramps while he takes the kid to the first aid station
Ochako is just STANDING THERE WATCHING HIM
Tumblr media
I don’t know but get a move on, girl, I need you to get your license too so you can become even more of a badass
she’s thinking that she needs to push aside all of her DO YOU LOVE HIM??? feelings
and that whenever she sees Deku acting like that and never giving up, she thinks it’s just so cool
Tumblr media
well, good, because this is the provisional license exam arc, not the Can These Two Crazy Kids Really Make It After All arc. we’re barely a hundred chapters in; there’s still plenty of time for that shit later down the line
and thankfully the last page seems to be introducing some sort of twist, because things were getting a little too straightforward for a finale lol
Tumblr media
is that Todoroki? I can’t tell what’s going on. I GUESS I’ll just have to keep reading, oh well
 BONUS:
Tumblr media
  Chewbacca here is first mate on a ship that might suit us
whaaaaaaaat he’s the class rep?? okay then, I guess that was a sincere offer of friendship. this guy seems like a solid bro
apparently he can freely manipulate his hair and make it longer and such. “though it’s tough how often it tangles up on him.” that sounds troublesome
I like him. Nagamasa... I’ll try to remember that

So I am no longer in charge of Slime, which if you’re not familiar with that story I would get yourself a snack and give it a read because.... it’s long. It’s a long, long saga of slime. Instead, they’re having me do the Saturday morning kids classes. Or rather, they’re continuing to have me do the morning classes because... why train someone else to work with unattended small children when we’ve already broken this one’s spirit? 
And if you were internetting at the same time I was last night, you were probably aware that my girlfriend and I were making friendship bracelets. Which is very cute, but the reason we were doing that was because today I was supposed to teach little kids how to make them. I’d never made one successfully before and the directions were super unhelpful, so she was showing me how. (Well... it’s still pretty stompin’ cute in the context). 
So what I learned last night was that they really are a labor of love because if you tried to sell them at the fair cost of labor, no one would buy it at that price and you really gotta like that person to put in all that work and then give it away for free. 
“Oh, how shall I, a mere child, show the bonds of our unending friendship? I shall develop early stages of carpal tunnel syndrome as a symbol of our platonic love!”
This is a childhood experience that I never had. Ostensibly because I was the crafty person in the school and I had all of two (2) friends and ... eh. Eh. It was the 90′s and my homework already resembled a mountain, so... eh. 
Anyhowdy. 
The bracelet that I was supposed to make was a chevron, but it looks more like argyle. Which is a look I dig but I’m mentally preparing dialogue for when someone is upset it doesn’t look like it should.  
Tumblr media
There is no way in the squishiest layers of Hell that a four-year old is going to figure out how to make this. I’m 30 and I’m screwing up, so I figure I’ll have a couple of simpler options.  Basically, I would have them braid their colors together and put beads on it. Seems simple, right?
... ha... haha... oh. 
I’m sure that my plan would have potentially worked if there were different circumstances, but here we are... 
I had... no students. 
Until... 
11:45, fifteen minutes before I was meant to close up. And then I had two. Then five. Then seven, nine, ten. As soon as I gave kids instructions to pick out their colors, more would come in. So half the room was bored and waiting for me to start and the other half was spending a lot of time trying to decide which color pink they want. One of them has her arm in a cast. Something wasn’t thought through. 
It is 11:55 when I finally get started. 
“Measure the length from your wrist to your elbow, and then double it.” 
Three adults failed this part. 
“Fold it in half and tie a knot at the top.”
One kid failed this part. 
“Do y’all know how to braid?” A mix of nods and shakes. “Okay, if you know how to braid, go ahead and braid your colors together.”
Three adults failed this part. I had to teach one kid how to braid because his mom refused to show him and eventually just took over herself. None of the parents were willing to help their kids learn, because they insisted that they already knew but clearly did not. I had to teach some of the adults. 
About halfway through this, a kid says “when are we going to make the slime?”
...
“Slime isn’t until one-o-clock.”
“We thought this was the slime thing.”
How do you get halfway through a friendship braid tutorial and realize that it isn’t slime? Did you think we were going to put it in the slime? Did you think that we were going to dip it in borax and it was going to suddenly be slime somehow? Did you miss the part in the beginning when I said ‘are you here to make friendship bracelets?’ Because I said that to literally everyone that came in through the doors. 
“Okay, now you’re going to put your beads on.” This part they knew how to do. “And when you’re done, you’re going to put a bead over one end and tie a knot around it, then do the same on the other side.”
All of the adults failed this part. 
Around this time, three girls abandoned the craft for their mom to finish in favor of watching whatever mindless children’s entertainment was being played in the baby carriage belonging to a completely different family. So they’ve just left the whole thing to their mother, who is frantically trying to finish because these kids have already learned the age-old art of ‘make someone else do it.’ 
We’re down to seven people and one of the youngest says ‘face painting.’
“The ad said that there’d be face painting.”
“Face painting?”
“FACE PAINTING YAY!”
Suddenly they all want their faces painted. It is 12:25, the class ended 25 minutes ago, I’m supposed to clock out in five minutes, and seven kids are now under the impression that we’re doing face painting. 
“Face painting isn’t until next week. Next week.”
And now... tears. 
The one that brought it up knocked over a bucket of perler beads. The mom is now screaming at her, everyone is upset and I am now ten minutes late to clock out. Some of them are still asking about slime, so now they’re alternating between slime and face painting and the truth is that they want both, but I’m giving them neither and oh man... toddlers are not a pleasant sight when you tell them that they don’t have any choice in the matter. 
They finally figure that the best thing to do is leave, no one is happy, and I’m pretty sure the little one is grounded. 
All of this- all of this
All of this could have been avoided if you’d shown up fifteen minutes later, but sure- Zerg rushing the teacher seems like a way better plan, doesn’t it?
As I am cleaning up the string mess, a line is forming at the door.
“Is this the slime thing?”
“It hasn’t started yet.”
“I’ll wait.” Haha. I’ve played this game. You’ll wait, but you’ll complain to my manager that we made you wait for the event to open before letting you in. 
I finish cleaning up, I get out the door, and the same woman jumps to get into the classroom.
“It doesn’t start until one, ma’am.”
“It said noon!”
“One to three. The event is one til three.”
I know that the color ‘puce’ is hotly contested in terms of it’s actual definition, but her face turned the puciest color I have ever seen. Her son is tugging impatiently at her pant leg. She tells her tiny human that he has to wait longer. 
Haha, don’t care. I’m out, kiddos!

Skyrim liveblog: Riften, Dawnguard, more house decoration, etc.
"Good luck finding those jazbay grapes, they're very rare" Actually, I'm growing them in my garden...
This poor woman is spending all her time growing this nirnroot and I just come here and steal it.
Also nirnroot makes the same sound as the shards in DAI and it makes me nervous.
I don't want all these mods that let you have an entire army of followers. I just want to improve and charge their equipment without transferring it to my inventory and then back :(
Riften! It's so exciting to finally reach the city after a long journey that mostly consisted of losing my way and sidetracking, and get to see what's inside the walls! Even if it's 2am and there isn't much to see.
Okay, I can see why Mjoll is popular...
Let me guess: the only guy she trusts is secretly part of the guild.
"Last thing the Black-Briars need is some loudmouth meddling in their affairs" Last time I met a family this corrupt, its leader didn't live to tell the tale. Will I have to break the game again for justice?
Why is the argonian bodyguard naked?! Did one of my mods break something?
And the barmaid is naked too... I wonder what's wrong. An argonian bandit I killed a couple of hours before was wearing armor with no problem...
The argonian jeweller in the marketplace is clothed properly. The mystery continues...
"Marsh-friend", aw
Also I like that Argonians are famous for their jewellery. Then it makes sense I crafted so much of it!
An argonian, and an argonian-raised dark elf! I feel at home in this marketplace.
You'd go down to the sewers yourself, but can't? What about me? Is the Dragonborn not good enough for the job?
I like the jarl, she sounds reasonable.
...And believes Maven is a respectable citizen who is trying to destroy the Thieves Guild. Oops.
Ah, okay, that's why I'm supposed to break into Aventus's home? Okay, I'll try it. "Don't bother with the Dark Brotherhood, kiddo, I'll do the job for you myself!"
This writing is stupid. Everyone in the city talks about how shitty the Thieves Guild is, a bunch of pathetic thugs everyone hates, and it totally sounds like a setup for a quest where you clear the city from them... Instead the only option the game gives is to join them. Wut? Why the heck would I want to?
The naked guy in the inn is pretty nice! And handsome. And he asks for my help proposing to the naked lady! How cute. Oh, and his recipes don't just sound good -- apparently he's the only person in this country who can make drinks that don't have negative effects! That woman is damn lucky.
I wanted to propose to my (yet undetermined) future spouse with a ring, like a real Argonian, but if it requires three flawless amethysts... I'll have to make do with a normal amethyst ring I guess. Has anyone made a mod with a proper recipe? Maybe even making it a replacement for the amulet of Mara, if possible.
Shit, I'm an idiot. I gave Uthgerd a Soup Trap weapon but no gems, and was wondering why she's not catching anything!
Is there a mod to turn off friendly fire in this game? Allies can't stop jumping into my arrows. Fought a vampire, shot at her, when the fight was over I found Uthgerd dead. Reloaded, then Frost got in the way, quest failed. Third attempt: the quest giver jumps into my arrow but survives, after the vampire is dead he starts attacking the horse I stole for him, my follower and me.
Okay, I tried it five more times. I can't. That vampire is unbeatable. A dremora summoned by Sanguine Rose does 0 damage to her. If I let her get close she one-shots me with her sword.
I finally did it... Downing like five different potions at once did the trick, I think... I was headed for Fort Dawnguard, but maybe I shouldn't...
What, Convenient Horses considers Frost my horse now?! Where's MY horse?! Did it get lost somewhere? Was it killed by the Black-Briars? Fast travelling doesn't help...
Oh, okay, I fast travelled to Riften again and found it. I'm so relieved... This horse has been with me since the beginning of the game, I bought it just before entering Whiterun for the first time. So even if it's kinda useless and I prefer travelling on foot, I don't want to lose it!
Why is the map marker for Dawnguard so dumb and glitched...
The leader is very cool! I'm going to help rebuilding the fort, right?
Okay, so I think my crafting geek falls instantly in love with the crossbow, even though its damage is lower than her current bow. Can I upgrade it? Enchant it? Craft my own with better materials?
I can upgrade it! And now it has more damage than my legendary dwarven bows!
Okay, I guess the archery trainer that I made this journey for will appear after the fort is upgraded? Ah, that's okay. I have 51k gold saved up. Isran is training Heavy Armor, I need that too.
Aaaand that training leveled me up again so there was no point in saving that level, I still lost one lol.
Holy shit, those vampires are all the way across the map! 
Ah, so now I have a quest to go into the Ratway and kill the thugs in there! Say hello to my newly crafted archery equipment, motherfuckers!
Hm, people in the bar don't seem to care that I broke in and murdered their bodyguards.
"Stay out of trouble, or there's gonna be trouble" says one of these guys as I exit their hideout having killed and looted everything inside.
That's a pretty little garden they have here.
I'm visiting the crafting corner in Riften's keep for probably the third time in this session... Last time I reached 90 alchemy; maybe I'll make it legendary, since it's so easy to level up. Smithing is 86, Enchanting is 81. I finally picked the "Well fitted" perk and made myself a full set of heavy armor with enchantments -- what I was wearing before had light and unenchanted items. It's all steel & dwarven, because I can't afford to spend more perks, but legendary several times over.
I need a new loadout organizer. Every time I upgrade an item, it disappears from the group (because it's renamed, I guess).
Okay, I think I'm ready. Time to travel back to Dawnguard and train Heavy Armor for like the third time in a row... Well at least coursing between Riften and Dawnguard is a welcome change from the cursed Whiterun-Riverwood-Lakeview circle: it's too easy to get stuck there and never leave.
Oh great, another fort full of bandits. I'm starting to just speed past them. I'm not the fucking police!
...Aaaand a blood dragon descends just as I ride past the fort's entrance. Okay, that's my business, can't argue.
(I really should return to the main quest btw...)
Wait, how the fuck did we kill the dragon so fast?! Did the armor help? Or my second-level Marked for Death?
Aaalright, now I have to go back to Riften again. Finish a quest, heal a bone broken by a bear, disenchant something I bought for that purpose and forgot...
Speaking of enchanting: the best thing about being rich is just buying every filled grand soul gem I see, instead of worrying about the need to hunt mammoths or becoming an evil necromancer.
I was already like "haha, let's fill some gems" when the miner complained about spiders, but this is ridiculous! There's like five of them! I don't even think they had a really big one! 
Just as I was about to give up, I finally came across the road to the Northwind Summit! And the dragon I needed to kill is just a dragon, not even frost or blood. His breath barely registered on my healthbar, and I needed like five arrows. What the fuck? Am I just walking around underleveled enemies, or did I grow strong overnight thanks to the armor and training?
Oh my, Black-Briars send mercenaries to deal with me, "the thief"! That's hilarious.
Nah, I'm not that good, a couple of necromancers with puppet draugr killed me.
Seriously, I should make more things for my own use instead of just for sale. I was like 5% away from one-shotting a boss from stealth and cancelling the entire fight. My damage health poisons were too weak. Thankfully, I had one fortify archery poison. One! What if I didn't? Would all of that overpriced multi-effect crap help me?
Btw I'm not using my shiny new crossbows because bolts are in short supply :(
Oh god! I have finally reached 70 speech and can take the Investor perk! Now that's a great excuse to make a tour around Skyrim and invest in everyone!
Aw, why can't I invest in my marsh-friend :(
Windhelm
Ugh, I knew that Blood on the Ice should have re-triggered, and I even saw the victim, but I didn't notice the guard standing next to her, so I had to google what to do. Why couldn't he address you automatically as you approach?
"Patrol Stone Quarter at night" and just as I was leaving the palace at noon and was opening the map to see what the Stone Quarter is, that quest was suddenly marked complete and I was shown a quest mark on the murderer. Yay immersion!
Time to invest in Wuunferth's business as an apology :D
His motive is exactly the same as the necromancer in the dungeon I just did, and in DA2. Can we have some new ideas please?
I completely forgot Lydia lives in my house, she spooked me.
I wonder why some merchants have unique responses to "I want to invest". Windhelm blacksmith and Belethor are arrogant, Arcadia is heartwarming. I really like Investor and the final perk in the tree because I feel like I'm being a positive influence, making rich not only myself but people around me.
Ugh, I accidentally sold Arcadia the wrong thing, reloaded, and all of the free stuff from her shelves disappeared -- what?
Shit, I was satisfied with how I decorated my home and then my stupid follower got in the way, I accidentally selected her, dropped, and wasn't sure she was all right so I had to reload.
And once again, from the start! This time I selected an enchanter and accidentally sent it to its original location, wherever that is.
Binch stand in the corner!! If you refuse to stay outside while I'm redecorating, at least get out of my way!

Shit, I picked up a black soul gem and captured a vampire thrall's soul. Oops.
I notice I'm alone. Maybe I accidentally killed Uthgerd again? I backtrack. Finally meet her. Lead her forward... and at some point she turns around and *sprints* back. WTF?
I'm back in modding hell :(
Tried to copy a rug from a modded Breezehome, accidentally removed it instead, returned to a previous save -- and it was still gone. I guess that removed the asset from the mod entirely? I had to reinstall.
Installed several retextures for Alchemy and enchanting tables -- and like none of them :( Rustic is the most thought out, but I prefer the tables to be made of wood, thank you. It just doesn't make sense that every other shitty inn in the province has this carved black stone monstrosity, and the enchanting mesh somehow applies to all other candles in the game. Why can't people just make higher resolution versions of vanilla design?!
I really like Rugnarok in my house, but finding this perfectly preserved carpet covered in blood under a rack in a Nordic tomb...
I have no idea how to make followers tankier. Uthgerd knows block and has decent enchanted equipment, but she's always on her knees five seconds into the fight.
I'm testing ELFX now, and higher contrast makes my eyes hurt sometimes, and it's very inconvenient in dungeons, but having the dark be darker is kind of fun. This is the first time I had to use my camping mod and just lie down next to a Nordic ruin and some skeletons I just killed because I could see absolutely nothing.
Oh great, I enter this seemingly ordinary house, inside there's a mage who attacks immediately, I have to kill him, but afterwards I can't take any of his stuff, it's all marked "steal". Uh, ordinarily it's fair game in these situations? He has a very nicely designed home btw.
Wizard in Morthal: I'm not evil! *sells black soul gems*
Okay, it's been 111 hours, it's time to retrieve that horn!
This dungeon made me uninstall ELFX. Even with two torches I can't see shit.
Fuck these three stones! I know I need to use Whirlwind Sprint, I just can't do it fast enough!
Ugh, I went all this way for nothing?
Dawnguard
This master vampire can wait, there are so many ingredients here!
"Is that an Elder Scroll?" Good question, I've been playing this game called The Elder Scrolls for 100+ hours and this is my first encounter with the term.
Uh, so is there any reason why I, the fresh Dawnguard recruit, would not kill Serana on sight? I mean obviously I, the player, won't, but...
Like, even if I'm a nice person who doesn't attack unprovoked, why should I help her instead of dragging her to Fort Dawnguard and letting my new boss deal with her?
Aaaand I caught the vampire disease. Great. And of course I'm in the middle of nowhere with no shrines in sight. Alright, I have a stack of potions to burn...
Tried to take her to the fort. "I don't like the feel of this place, I'll wait for you back by the entrance". Oh great.
Well, at least the boss had dialogue for this and gave me approval for this nonsense, so I didn't make a trip across the entire country for nothing.
Unfathomable depths
I didn't even know that Riften had a dock outside the walls until I read about the quest I needed to take there...
This dwarven ruin is a nice opportunity to practice destruction magic, since the automatons can't be soul trapped so there's no reason to waste arrows on them.
Whoa, a health regen amulet!
Good thing Serana is with us, because my magic is severely underpowered.
Should have done this quest sooner, because I've been wearing dwarven armor for so long that by now I want to get rid of it, not bonuses to it.
I just checked -- and my normal set of heavy armor is already at the armor cap. I wonder if the bonus pushed it over the edge or not...
Lol, nah, I was already good. Well I'm having an existential crisis now. What am I supposed to do with my life now? I'm only level 46?
Modding hell
I'm slowly adding more and more HD retextures -- when I fix one thing, the one next to it suddenly looks too ugly... Now that I have Peltapalooza, ordinary beds suddenly look more comfortable, and next to them the blurry and dirty texture on noble beds is just terrible. Why couldn't someone just make a clean HD version of that bed?! Enhanced Noble Furniture 4x _byMike makes the bed red for some reason. Another mod, don't remember which, raises the resolution but doesn't delete the dirt, which you can now see in all HD glory. In the end I settled on Snazzy HD Noble Beds -- green, the closest to canonical, for single and double beds, and blue with drapes for the bed that obviously is supposed to have drapes but doesn't in vanilla. Then HD Noble Furniture, and Furniture and Clutter - HD Retextures for non-noble. The patterned bed and the new carpets are a bit too much together, but what can I do...
Aaaand the bed texture clashes horribly with the rug I placed under it in Lakeview :(
