genuinely going insane about how "we're scholars, not soldiers" (Babel, RF Kuang) fits in with Arcane. something something Jinx and Ekko are both brilliant prodigies born in an environment that forced them to be fighters something something Jayce and Viktor, for all their involvement in the conflict, were still inventors at heart something something
so. so. uhhhh i finished the transcript. someone might've done this before me, i dunno. this was kinda on a whim.
anyways here it is. i mourn the formatting i bit, but didn't wanna share the document and you can't upload files here so you get a copy-pasted version instead.
i would say this sorta acts as my final farewell to the fandom, but i draw fanart for all the fandoms i've "left" from time to time, so who knows.

CHAT TRANSCRIPT OF THE DREAM SMP *EPILOGUE STREAMED ON JACK’S ACCOUNT, 10/27/2024
*Jack offhandedly stated that it was canon, but it is unclear if it really is. During the stream, Tommy also mentions that the nuke ending isn’t canon but Jack contradicts him.

<JackManifoldTV>

[Tommy breaks the button for the roulette wheel]
<JackManifoldTV>

[Tommy obliges.]
[From here on, they’re both typing at the same time, sometimes writing things out before reading the latest chat messages so text may seem to appear out of order. There may also be a couple pauses in between chats that are not indicated, as they aren't as long as others.]
<TommyInnit>
Wanna know where I’ve been?
<JackManifoldTV>

<TommyInnit>
oh, okay
[Jack goes back to gambling]
<TommyInnit>

[Referring to how Jack stopped walking to type] You’re not good at catching up, are you?
<JackManifoldTV>

<TommyInnit>
never thought i’d be around these parts again
<JackManifoldTV>

<TommyInnit>
I moved far from here. Get away from it. [Likely meant “got away from it”.]
Brings back too much…
Joy, Fun. Sadness, Pain. Too much of it all.
but it’s nice to see a familiar face
<JackManifoldTV>

<TommyInnit>

[...]
<TommyInnit>
I don’t live around here.
<JackManifoldTV>

<TommyInnit>
No, oh, god no
<JackManifoldTV>

<TommyInnit>
Do you know how long it took for me to get back here?
[They stop in front of Techno and Phil’s cabin.]
<TommyInnit>
I come here a lot though.
<JackManifoldTV>
coupa hours?
<TommyInnit>
Well, more than the other places
<JackManifoldTV>
cool

i like it
maybe i’ll buy this place when i win big!
<TommyInnit>
This is Technoblade’s house
<JackManifoldTV>
maybe i won’t do that
[Tommy stares at him]
[...]
<JackManifoldTV>
o7
how long do you sit here like this usually?
<TommyInnit>
As long as I need to.
Sometimes a few minutes. Sometimes hours.
Mind if I ask you something?
<JackManifoldTV>
sure
hit me
<TommyInnit>
Do you ever…
Well, like, despite all the war, and the fighting, and the.. well.. the mess. How much it sent ME a fucking mess.
You ever miss those days? The people? Or, well, the way they were? The way it all was?
<JackManifoldTV>
sure
it was all a bit much at times
and i’m not sure i’d want to do it again
but i miss it sometimes
it was fun really
<TommyInnit>
Yeah… I wouldn’t do it again either haha
But…
I don’t know… I’ve tried to move on. My little cottage far away. My humble paradise. But that little thought trails into my mind…
<JackManifoldTV>
i think it probably trails into all our minds, wherever we all are
<TommyInnit>
Okay, phew.
<JackManifoldTV>
but we all have to move on and find our own destiny some time
<TommyInnit>
I’m glad it’s not just me
<JackManifoldTV>
and chasing the win keeps me happy
i like who i am now!
probably more than who i was
but that doesn’t mean he was bad
<TommyInnit>
You like being a gambler? Over an incompetent fight loser?
Well, I guess they’re not great options, are they
Sorry, that was harsh. I don’t see many people
Also, hey, you blew up my hotel
And me
<JackManifoldTV>
one of them means i may win some day. i was never gonna win back then
oh yeah i did
i think i blew everything up actually
my fault
<TommyInnit>
Luckily that wasn’t canon
<JackManifoldTV>
Well no i’d say it was
<TommyInnit>
I’ve still got my 1 life.
<JackManifoldTV>
I mean no one else is here anymore are they
<TommyInnit>
And I intend to use it the best way I can
<JackManifoldTV>
wdym??
<TommyInnit>
Well, 1 canon life
I was left with 1 when everyone went away
<JackManifoldTV>
yh yh yh but how do you wanna use it
<TommyInnit>
You know…
I’ve got not a clue
But I’ll figure that out later
<JackManifoldTV>
okay
you could come gamble with me
<TommyInnit>
For now. I’ve got my cottage. My new pet! Awh, she’s adorable. Mareep. She’s a little sheep I caught.
<JackManifoldTV>
i hear a big win is just around the corner
<TommyInnit>
I don’t want to gamble Jack
<JackManifoldTV>
oh..
okay
more for me!
<TommyInnit>
Yep
But yeah you know… things are OK for me. Tubbo and his fucking bee’s I’ll see too every now and then
<JackManifoldTV>
well this was nice
<TommyInnit>
He’s doing pretty well for himself
Selling all that fucking honey
<JackManifoldTV>
that’s good
i thought he exploded when i blew everything up
<TommyInnit>
I guess being the president of L’Manburg teaches you a few logistical things, ey?
<JackManifoldTV>
i can’t actually die i don’t think so i never know whether these things are bad for everyone else or not
<TommyInnit>
Not that either of us would know anything about that
Well…
<JackManifoldTV>
well..
<TommyInnit>
But I haven’t seen anyone else, besides Tubbo
I think I like it that way for now.
The quiet life.
<JackManifoldTV>
yeah you two are hard to separate
<TommyInnit>
TELL ME ABOUT IT
<JackManifoldTV>
quiet is nice
<TommyInnit>
It’s nice to see an old face though
<JackManifoldTV>
this is nice
<TommyInnit>
I know I said that before
But it really is
[...]
<TommyInnit>
Well, look, I can’t stay for long. I need to feed Mareep.
<JackManifoldTV>
yeah i got some places to see now i’m out
<TommyInnit>
I’ll be off soon.
Anything else you want to ask me?
I have no questions for you
<JackManifoldTV>
haven’t left in a while should probably go check on some things
are you happy?
i guess that’s all i’d care to know
<TommyInnit>
Getting there.
<JackManifoldTV>
nice
<TommyInnit>
Good to see you, jack.
<JackManifoldTV>
i’m glad for you
<TommyInnit>
Hope you get the big win.
<JackManifoldTV>
good to see you too tommy
<TommyInnit>
Oh and hey
<JackManifoldTV>
i will
<TommyInnit>
Don’t let anyone buy this house
<JackManifoldTV>
i won’t
when i win big there’ll be no money left HAHAHAHA
<TommyInnit>
I might not see you again
<JackManifoldTV>
that’s okay
<TommyInnit>
But I hope I hear about it if you win big.
So long J money
<JackManifoldTV>
i can deal with that knowing you’re happy :)
bye bye big T
[End.]
hey, hey what's this...
wholeheartedly agree !! however !!!! i hope u don't mind me inserting one of my own headcanons here : Prime was a consistent source of comfort throughout his life. he stayed devoted throughout all the trauma he faced, clinging to his faith like a lifeline. it's all he has.
then he dies. and the hell he wakes up to does not align with whatever version of the afterlife the Church of Prime believed in. it's wrong. it feels like a punishment. but what did he do wrong ? he stayed faithful despite everything and didn't even expect anything in return. but, what, is he expected to live in this void forever ? it's called limbo, isn't it ? so when will it end ? why is this even happening to him ? he did everything right, didn't he ?
back when he was standing on that pillar, he thought about the warm embrace of his god, but was that selfish ? the thought seldom came to mind that he'd ever get some sort of reward for his faith, but he didn't expect to be punished.
and then he's pulled back, back to the land of the living with little more than some white in his hair to show for it. there are bruises, yes, but he has been beaten before. the bruises on his face don't –can't– account for staring the eternal void in the face with only the taunting voices of what could hardly be called a "host" of ghosts as company. he's kicked back to his normal life with a bloody nose, some white hair, and even more reservations about getting touched than before, all while his faith, his only constant, is in pieces. if all he's done wasn't enough for his god to even look at him, to even acknowledge him, to give him a sign, then does that change how he deals with everything in the future ?
anywayssss yes cTommy was a good religious boy and then he saw hell and it was empty so :]]
hot take or whatever but I don't think ctommy would have religious trauma. prime was, unarguably, a source of comfort for him through the entire story and never did his relationship with it take as drastic of a turn for it to give him trauma
and this isn't about headcanons btw this is about people using this (in my opinion incorrect) take in serious, canon Analisis
i-
will never be the same
(pov i just watched into the spiderverse)
can’t Fire Spirit and Knight fuck already? I mean, the sexual tension is pretty strong
proud to say that I have never once in my life figured out the whodunit in any crime story I've read or watched. I just let the facts and clues wash over me, absorbing absolutely none of it. I am the audience they think of when they throw in red herrings, in case you've ever wondered "who would fall for this obvious false lead". it's me. I am the idiot viewer/reader. not once has an obviously framed clue revealed anything to me. my head is completely empty when I consume these stories.
Honestly, I'm quite glad I'm getting more attention ever since I started drawing famous and well known games like "Boyfriend To Death", "The Price of Flesh", "Lover's Trophy", "Something's Wrong With Sunny Day Jack ", etc. I draw these cause it's my passion, and I love these games to my heart, including the creators. (I wish to work for them one day cause it's my dream to work as a character designer or as an artist.) Also to everyone. I appreciate it and you all enjoying my artwork cause I been sick lately and been busy with life....
Godamn infection...🥺
However, I'm feeling better, and I'm still continuing on drawing, so thank you! 😊
So this is interesting, & after a bit of thinking, I'd give it to Gogmazios. Here's why:
Gaismagorm can create some powerful explosions which could easily harm Gogmazios, but Gog can easily avoid these by flying out of range. Gais' blood beam could be the biggest problem for Gog, but that takes a lot of energy to use with help from the Qurio. Gog, however, can fire it's oil beam just by igniting it, which it can naturally do.
(Aka me gushing about the probable relationship between this two because why not-)
Ah yes. Gogmazios and Gaismagorm. Two very powerful (and terrifying) elder dragons. And we know exactly what many want these two to do: FIGHT!
Of course, it’s very likely we will never get to see that. But we can still speculate based on what we know of them so far, what could happen if this two did meet.
Knowing that both monsters live underground (in Gog’s case it’s just temporarily until it’s hungry) it’s very likely they would cross paths occasionally. However that doesn’t necessarily mean that they would conflict with eachother often if they don’t have any reason to. After all, they are animals that, while likely smarter than other monsters, still follow their instincts.
Of course, we have to ask: what reason would make them fight in the first place?
An option that can be easily eliminated is food. Gogmazios eats sulfur, while Gaismagorm uses the Quiro to suck the energy of other monsters for itself. Their diets wouldn’t be affected by the presence of the other. Of course, one can make the argument that a Gaismagorm would try to use the Quiro to suck Gogmazios’ energy, but there is one big problem: The tar.
That thing covers every inch of that elder’s body, and it’s a very sticky substance. If the Quiro tried to attack it, they would get stuck in the substance and end up suffocating or being unable to fly. That means that if Gais tries that strategy it would only end up loosing too much of its Quiro, so it very likely doesn’t even try to prey on Gog knowing that the risk of doing so isn’t worth it.
But, there is one thing they somewhat share: territories. Gaismagorm spends most of its time moving underground. Gogmazios does so as well, although it doesn’t move as much as it hibernates in it. So, if these two found itself in the same area, they wouldn’t be happy of eachother’s presence.
In Gogmazios’ case, it very likely wouldn’t want to have another giant monster in the same place as it is sleeping, since it can attack it while it’s vulnerable and it very likely would slow it down when it’s starving and searching for food
In Gaismagorm’s case, Gogmazios would almost certainly scare its food source and it’s tar could kill its Quiro very easily. And, if it is as territorial as many other monsters in the games, it would likely not appreciate having its hunting grounds used as a bed by another elder.
So, now that they have a very good reason to not want one in the same place as the other, what would happen? who would win?
Well, there are a few thinks that give each one an advantage and disadvantage over the other:
Gaismagorm has very powerful forelimbs it can use to grab foes and claw at them, but it’s hindlegs, although strong enough to support its body, are pretty much pathetic at moving at high speeds. And while it has is Quiro to create attacks, as said before they could not pass that tar. It could grapple Gog easily, but it can’t use its Quiro to attack it.
Gogmazios also has powerful forelimbs (and wings!) and unlike Gaismagorm its legs are developed enough so it can actually run and move faster than one might think. That combined with its tar makes it a dragon that is difficult to approach without getting hindered by the sustance.
Overall Gaismagorm seems more physically powerful than Gog and could pin it down to attack it , but Gogmazios would very likely manage to avoid many of its physical attacks and attack more rapidly since it can move better in the surface than the other.
But if there is one factor I consider crucial in deciding who would win over the other, it’s the fire and tar Gaismagorm can set its body ablaze and one of Gogmazios’s beams it’s one of fire as well, but it has another one that uses the substance covering its body
So, for me, the winner would be who could use their element to damage the other faster.
Tar is a very inflamable material, so if Gaismagorm managed it to set it ablaze it could easily hurt Gog and if that manages to leave part of its body exposed it can have an opportunity to use its Quiro to feed on it while it’s vulnerable.
But on the other hand, if Gogmazios managed to cover Gaismagorm on that same tar, it’s Quiro wouldn’t be able to give any energy to their host and leave it weakened enough for Gogmazios to attack more precisely.
Overall I find it very interesting to think how a monster’s respective powers could help them beat another enemy, or instead give them a big disadvantage over them.
Headcanon: Husk and Angel knew each other as kids.
Let me explain. Husk died in the 1970s when he was in his 60s. Angel went in the 40s when he was in his thirties. SO. They were both born circa 1910. I will fight you on this, they knew each other.
Wow so unrequited feelings fuckbuddies is not as fun irl as it is in fanfic
Not Ted calling the alphas "weaboo shits" like he has the right to insult anyone, after he destroyed the whole fucking planet

hate to do this, but I'm turning off anon asks
Hopefully it'll be just for a short time, however I keep getting anon asks for go-fund-mes, and I don't have the reach, money, or time to help, so I need to turn off anon asks for now
Some people might think I'm a horrible person for this, but the internet is my safe space, and if I could help, I would. But I cant. I see too much negativity, and Tumblr is literally like the only place where I can breathe from shit
So if anyone wants to send in an ask, it'll have to be not anon
Sorry
just finished my COLD tea and realizes i have over half an hour until the rest of easter school ends
ughhhh
No, ao3 doesn't need a second kudos button or a kudos button each chapter, because you know what you can do each chapter? Comment. It needs your words, your comments, there is a comment draught, kudos is lovely, but it is a ping in a lonely chamber, a lecture hall where you can tell students are listening but no one ever raises their hands to speak or engage with the professor, if you love it so much you want to give a second kudos, you love it enough to type even just a couple words into the comment box, "love this," "neat fic!" It's just a couple more clicks!
I decided I wanted to be Shego when I grew up
Why are you lgbtq+? wrong answers only GO
I just sat up on the toilet while reading and realized I have no memory of going to the bathroom. The last thing I remember is reading in my bed. So either I just teleported cause I had to pee or sleep walked while reading cause I had to pee... Like I can remember the chapter just not the journey.
Fun tip maybe don’t binge read manga when sick, you’ll fall asleep, forget about it then bump into it 2 years later and think“oh I slightly remember manga. it’s finished now maybe I’ll just read the last few chapters” then your crying cause it was a great ending and now you have to binge read the whole series cause you barely remember it and you have no idea where you left off.
I had the sudden urge to binge watch all 45 hours of a nier auto tomato (again) play through around 4am today. Somehow I came to the conclusion that jump roping with the sound track on would also be fine.
Since I’ve decided it might not be the best idea to ramble in someone else’s discord I’m here. Fun fact when I mention that it applies to girlfriends it wasn’t a btw, I just didn’t even think of that as a possibility. This just proves I haven’t really had male friends in a long time. Though I do have bi and gay female ones so I might actually need sleep.
I finally finished watching violet evergarden. I watched the first 5 or 6 weekly but after a point I just had to stop. As someone who’s lived with ptsd for as long as I can remember, violet evergarden made me feel a lot of things. I saw young her and empathized and remembered a lot of things I normally try not to think about. Sincerely, thanks.
So I've been thinking back to when I went to therapy a while ago, and while it was great for giving me perspective about how it's okay to feel like shit with all the things you're going through (and how the therapists were honestly surprised i wasn't doing worse) in the long run I think it made my depression far worse. It started the trend of me trying to look at all my problems subjectively. I kinda miss being ignorant cause it turns out most of my issues are things I can't even affect if I wanted to and life kinda sucks...
Just finished castlevaina season 2... it’s only 9am the day after it came out, so I’ve only been been awake 20 some hours... time to rewatch?
I tried to do some art for my best friends birthday... let’s just say it’s been a long time since I’ve gotten to the point in a peice where I’ve restarted fully multiple times (after making it past the sketch and whatever else to the painting and rendering faze) and just had to give up cause I managed to make my migraines worse, I now hear a non stop buzzing and the art still doesnt look like the person I want it to
