Your Fifth Most Recent Emoji Is What Your Soulmate Thinks About You

wow I straight up want to be asleep rn

“The heck!?” along with assorted midnight thoughts.

I have 2 whole followers now? A day after creating my account? I expected the first one, as they are a person I know IRL, but uh, hi to the other person who apparently enjoyed my first post!

In other news, Physics class sucks! I just spent approximately 8 hours doing only 20 math problems. Why must I suffer.

At least I can be cheered up by the fact that several ao3 fics I enjoy updated today! I was especially pleased that a homestuck story, called “the run and go” by deserts updated, after nearly a year of radio silence. Also, “There’s still magic” by RosesCry, which is a fairly good undertale one.

I really freaking love undertale and homestuck. I, unfortunately arrived really late to both fandoms. I found undertale in 2016 or 2017, but only played the game in late 2019. I found homestuck in around the same time. 

Can I say, if you don’t focus on the weird toxic parts that every fandom seems to have (exept the sanders sides fanbase, they’re wholesome), the undertale and HS comunnities are actually super unique and inspiring! 

Undertale fans loved the game so much that they remade the story again and again, coming up with unique alternate universes that became so popular within the fanbase that the nicknames given to au characters are easily recognizable. 

Homestuck is cool just for how widespread and simultaneously mainstream yet niche it is. By that I mean, I have seen people joke about how there are no homestucks in their town (myself included), yet when I wore my black hoodie with a teal libra symbol embroidered on it, a teenaged looking girl actually came up and asked if it was a reference!  Heck, my love of HS is actually part of what inspired my username. To be exact, I modelled it after pesterchum handles. 

As for why it’s “fandomfriend” in particular, I just, really love talking about the sheer power of how a book, movie, show, comic, or game can bring strangers together. I adore meta commentary, and I’m pretty sure I would squeal with joy if someone wanted to discuss fanfiction tropes (I have even made a podcast episode on fandom psychology for a school project). It doesn’t particularly matter which fandom, as I think they are all pretty great, hence the nonspecific name and pfp, see?

I should probably cut it there, both for the sake of my sleeping schedule, and for whatever poor sap tries to read my sleep deprived rambling. XD

You wake up tomorrow to find yourself in the world of the last video game you played. How screwed/lucky are you?

Good news for you, this August 23rd.

Would he let himself be laid down by Ludwig, and really and truly be seen, not just by virtue of being naked in a bed together, but stripped absolutely bare, in every sense of the word? Unknowable, rugged, professional Michael, passionately entangled with knowable, posh, sadistic Ludwig? His heart hammered in even, precise beats: Yes, yes, yes, yes…  Eyes as vast and dark as the sea capturing his own and holding them in their gaze while eager, thorough hands caressed and squeezed and stroked him everywhere a person could be touched. Between the valleys of old wounds, where all of the things he never wanted to say or think about slept. Between his breasts, where his hard ribcage curled over the soft flesh of his innards that Medic knew so well, over his inner thighs, which would splay open and whisper I’m yours to touch, and to know.

Fever, part 6 of my bushmedicine fanfic, Thou Giveth Fever! I hope you all enjoy, and thank you so so so much for staying with me on this journey!! ;_;

OoF crack au idea

Ok, so for people in the undertale fandom, fanfiction is typically really focused on the skeletons (+ gaster sometimes). I mean, I think the fact that we made so many fandom-wide aus is incredible, but it can feel a bit one note on occasion. 

That’s why I highly recommend “Ocean on Fire”, by @theninjamouse on AO3. This fic is an amazing Grillby x reader. The reader is named, technically, but it’s just that she is going by her last name “Shore”. This earned the ship the name Shorby. Without getting into spoilers, the fic is incredibly good, and I’ve enjoyed it since the first chapter.

Now, since I don’t know how much of this may count as spoilers, and because I ramble, I’ll put the rest under a read-more.

So, not too long ago I sent Mouse an ask basically talking about how I was looking at papercraft models for Pokemon and decided Flareon and Vaporeon reminded me too much of Shorby. Aside from the obvious thing of fire elemental and fire pokemon, Shore also has huge water connections. First, she surfs, even working at the surf shop and giving some of the Undertale crew lessons. Also, (spoilers) she is a mage who can manipulate water, likely due to distant aquatic monster heritage. So between the water links, and the fact that the Vaporeon papercraft came with a surfboard, I really like the connection, and began thinking of au possibilities. NinjaMouse approved of a Pokemon au, so I’m here to tell my thoughts.

To start with, the au would probably be Shoregrillster, a.k.a. a ship between Shore, Grillby, and Gaster. (For context, in the fic Grillby and Gaster were together before Gaster disappeared.) I was thinking this because a) I like the dynamic between the three, and b) I needed a reason for Pokemon and OoF to intersect. If anyone could make that happen, it would be the mad scientist. If people think Sans could grab au versions of himself, Gaster could do something similar here.

So, I have a handful of Ideas for how this could go down, split into two categories. Option 1: Shore and/or Grillby temporarily become their respective pokemon. Option 2: Gaster somehow makes/ summons pokemon into our world. Both options have potential for hijinks.

In Option 1: It would probably go down similarly to the side fic “A Scientist, a Bartender, and a Fool”, where Gaster turned Shore into an otter. In the fic, the set up was that Gaster tried to make Shores magic stronger, and accidentally pushed her monster heritage to the surface, making her into a form better suited to that. So in this au, it would likely be something similar. My thought is that Gaster would see something kinda like the Pokemon franchise and try to see if anything from there is recreatable. (Maybe start with some of the moves pokemon could do before trying to apply science to the actual pokemon?) Either way, he ends up turning his partners into eeveelutions, probably because when his machine tried to find magic to use for pokemon recreation, It latched onto the two closest matches to pokemon types. 

Of course, the plot for this one would probably go similarly to the side fic, just with the added bonus of Grillby being changed too. Also, some extra fun from Grillby and Shore having new biology. For example, Grillby would now have completely internal flames, so theoretically he could go into water. Shore would just get to enjoy basically being an otter, but bigger and with fins and gills. Also, some fun from trio trying to keep people from finding out why Shore and Grillby aren’t at work.

Now, Option 2: This one has all sorts of fun possibility! This one would probably be the result of Gaster getting interested in either artificially making monsters or meeting alternate universes. Maybe while talking with Sans or Alphys, one of them made a comment that set him off on a tangent. Either way, Gaster probably wasn’t specifically aiming for pokemon, he just miscalculated and accidentally made/ summoned pokemon. 

This is where the fun comes in, as the three of them need to work out how to care for these weird little “monsters” without people learning how they got there. It helps that most of the world wouldn’t know that the pokemon aren’t monsters unless they got into an encounter or someone kept records of all monsters. 

I really like this idea because it opens the door for Gaster to also get his own pokemon. In option 1, he still needed to be able to reverse the change. But in this one, he can also get his own thematically appropriate pocket monster. 

I don’t have any big plot ideas, but I have been thinking of various disconnected scenes that would be fun.

- Shore and Grillby in the kitchen, panicking over how to feed their new pets

- (suggested by Mouse) Vaporeon and Shore surfing together, because yes

- Grillby working at the bar, then realizing Flareon followed him and having to keep his large fire dog out of sight of patrons, with ensuing hijinks

- Gaster getting worn out trying to fix his mistake, with the other two caring for their disaster scientist.

- Having to explain what happened to maybe 2 or 3 other people, either because they need help, or because someone found out on accident.

I did some thinking on what pokemon would best fit Gaster, and I had several ideas that would all be pretty fun. I’m honestly not sure which one I like best.

The simplest idea would be to give Gaster his own eeveelution. I would personally pick Espeon. Mainly because Psychic type seems like a good fit, and Umbreon’s associations with poison and the moon didn’t seem quite right to me. On the other hand, Espeon is considered incredibly loyal, which I liked.

My other ideas each lean more into the whole mysterious and voidy vibe.

Missingno. feels like a stretch, but I like the idea of him getting a pokemon that shouldn’t exist and feels like it would come from the void around the pokemon universe.

Another one is Giratina. I like this because Giratina’s story parallels Gasters most common fanon backstory quite well. Although, between its size and personality, it probably wouldn’t be great for story telling. The pokedex entries mention it being violent a lot.

Finally, an Unown or two would be cool. They remind me of wingdings, and are associated with language (kinda reminded me of fonts). They are weird and cryptic, and it would be funny seeing someone get jumpscared by the large floating letter with an eye. XD

In any case, this post is way too long, so I will continue with any new ideas, art, pictures, or writing in another post before my computer overheats.

MAG 6 is the worm sex episode. That’s just what it is at this point. Anyone on here says “worm sex episode” we all know what they mean.

Do you think the archives gang started calling it the worm sex statement? (Tim says Sasha started it. Sasha insists he did.) And at first Jon continued to refer to it as “Case #0140912” but gave up after about a week because honestly “worm sex statement” was easier. So now everyone’s like “where did we put the worm sex statement” “this reminds me of the worm sex statement” “hey this statement is kind of similar to the worm sex one”

This doesn’t become a problem until Jon says to Elias, “I noticed that this case shares certain similarities to the worm sex statement.”

and Elias is like. “the. the what the fuck now.”

And I have no answers! Jk, in short, there was a massive hiatus that ended on oct 25, 2011. Andrew hussie acted like the one page update he posted was the comics conclusion or something. That, plus the sheer length of the hiatus, caused so many fans to be on the homestuck page at one time that the site broke. It was a massive deal as everyone was so excited for the gigapause to be over, but no one could even see the update because the site crashed. This comic is meant to emulate the sheer chaos of it all.

For everyone who wasn't Homestuck on 10/25/11,

Here’s a wonderful and accurate representation of that night.

Stuck.

(it’s 2am, and according to your therapist, you have “a whopping case of ADHD”

Cult of the lamb doctrine isn't working right, I think? Help?

So, im trying to do a duplication glitch or something in cotl, and one of the steps of that is to murder a follower. Since i may end up doing this glitch multiple times over a few days, I want to limit the amount of faith I lose in the process. The text blurb for the murder follower doctrine says that followers only lose faith if they see you commit the murder. I looked it up and everyone says if you murder a follower at night and away from everyone else, you shouldn't lose faith. Despite attempting to follow those instructions I still lose faith when I try.

Last time I tried it, I had the follower sleep in a bed on the complete opposite end of the base from everyone else. I also made sure everyone was asleep, and no one was still walking to their bed. Then I woke up the follower and tried to murder them, and immediately got the faith loss. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong, or is there no way to avoid the murder penalty?
