to anyone in the areas impacted by the wildfire smoke, my #1 biggest piece of advice as someone whos been dealing with wildfire smoke in the NW united states for years, is build yourself a Corsi-Rosenthal Cube
they perform as well as expensive HEPA air cleaners, and are comparatively VERY inexpensive. all you need is a box fan, 4 air filters, a piece of cardboard, and some duct tape!!!!
i think it took us maybe a half hour to put ours together, if that, and we replace the filters every 3 months. it's really made a HUGE difference, both when the air quality is bad, but also with our allergies
had a dream there was a tom wambsgans simulator and this was the only gameplay i remember
AHAHAHAHHA YESSS!!!! That is awesome. That was 100% Time’s plan if the “buddy system” didn’t work out.
DONT GET ME WRONG- I am a huge advocate on the Wild and Hyrule being bffs front BUT I think it would be so so SO funny if they hated each other at first.
The similarities between Wild and Hyrule are genuinely poetic, I mean botw is literally a spiritual successor to Zelda 1. Their friendship was written in the stars.
But their differences… I think in the beginning Hyrule would envy the shit out of Wild. Both of their eras are in severe decline but Wild’s is green. Everyone in the chain knows that Wild’s memory is lacking. They know that one day Wild woke up with no memories and answered the call to be a hero, just like that. Everyone thinks it’s highly admirable to choose to be a hero without even knowing what you’re saving, just being innately good. But Hyrule doesn’t think so. If he woke up and saw a world so beautiful… There isn’t even a choice in defending that.
He’s also jealous that Wild can just… fuck off if something gets too dangerous. When they’re in Wild’s era they learn that he can use his slate to teleport anywhere he wants as much as he wants. If Wild accidentally disturbs a Lynel he can literally disappear to a sunny beach, get a drink, and lay out. He even has a map that updates as he moves. If he got lost, even with his slate not working, Hyrule has no doubt Wild would just run into an apple tree, a clean spring, and venison. He can scan an object to tell whether or not it’s poison. It didn’t matter how young, sick, or tired Hyrule was, if he stumbled upon a Lynel it was either him or it. He had to learn the hard way what he could or couldn’t eat. If Hyrule got lost there was no way his maps could save him. His era was mostly one huge bruise of dry grass and dying trees. Food and landmarks were scarce.
Because of that, Wild gets to goof off. He’s impulsive. He’s loud. He’s everything that should’ve gotten him killed years ago.
What he doesn’t know is that Wild is also jealous of Hyrule. Hyrule is just so… competent with so little. Hyrule never needed the master sword. In fact, Hyrule still uses the same sword he’s had since he was 10. Hyrule doesn’t break things. Hyrule doesn’t need people to find him when he’s lost, he doesn’t need maps. Hyrule doesn’t complain when all they have to eat is hard tack and water.
Hyrule could find a needle in a haystack without even burning it down. He’s just… everything that Wild can’t be. The shrine of resurrection healed as much of Wild as it could but the brain is a complicated thing. He wonders if he was always so impulsive, if he used to miss social cues, and if his memory had always been awful. Flora said something about damage to his frontal lobe but unless he looks up the definition in his slate, Wild can’t remember what that means.
Wild feels so embarrassed having had to use so many tools in his quest. Everyone calls Legend the hoarder but Wild quietly knows that it’s really him. Just standing next to Hyrule makes Wild look bad. It’s like the guy glows.
So they both resent each other at first, Hyrule for what Wild has and Wild for what Hyrule has.
I think if they were both teens, 17??, they would take this out on each other by being relentlessly petty. I think aside from Wind, they would be the youngest in the chain. At least in this scenario. Wild holds his breath praying that Hyrule will fuck up at some point. Hyrule “accidentally” keeps sabotaging Wild’s attempts to sneak off. Whenever the other gets lectured they get a sick feeling of accomplishment.
The chain picks up on the fact those two don’t like each other. Most of them don’t get it, two teenage kids, the same age, both heroes with a love for adventure and sneaking off. Why wouldn’t they get along? Wild and Hyrule never do actually fight though, until they do.
It starts with little things, Hyrule being annoyed after being asked to patch Wild up. Wild under or over seasoning Hyrule’s dinner portion just to test how far he can push him. Just little things to push at each other’s buttons.
And then they finally do fight, maybe after months of it brewing. And GOODNESS if it’s not a glorious fight. It doesn’t matter who started it. Hyrule has a fist of Wild’s hair. Wild throws sand into Hyrule’s eyes. The chain doesn’t even know what to do by the time they finally get them split up.
Well, Time does. Time makes the two of them start doing EVERYTHING together. Patrols, skirmishes, chores. The only way they’d be closer is if they were tied together. They hate it.
But it’s because of this they get captured together after a portal splits up the chain. Maybe they’re lost, arguing when cultists, a sick combination of both Yiga and the Eyes of Ganon scoop them up.
I think that while the Eyes are hyper competent they’re not necessarily cruel. This is a means to an end for them, they believe the death of the hero will save their families. For that, the hero doesn’t need to suffer. Slitting his throat will do. The Yiga are cruel but not very competent. They want to string the hero up, humiliate him. Torture him if they can get their hands on him… These two forces combined make something both competent and cruel.
So Wild and Hyrule are united in their shared terror. Hyrule and Wild finally start talking, trying to collaborate when they realize the cult wants to toy with them both before ritualistically sacrificing them. Through this, they finally understand each other.
Hyrule learns how insecure Wild is and why. How Wild’s era failed him and pushed him into something when he literally didn’t even have the mind to do so. That Wild is struggling to cope in a world that he barely understands.
Wild learns that Hyrule never got to cope, that his entire life has been one big chase. That Hyrule also didn’t choose to be a hero but had to be. Hyrule never catches a break. Hyrule never had the chance to get to break something.
Through their impromptu sleepover and some light torture, they grow close in the span of 72 hours before they escape their captors hand in hand.
They reunite with the chain who are shocked to see them arms around each other’s shoulders like brothers. Laughing, and more concerningly bleeding, at new inside jokes.
From then on they become a dangerous force. Time almost wishes they didn’t get along so well bc the new trouble they’re getting into is much more stressful than the old isolated incidents. They learn each others anxieties and weaknesses and do their best to uplift each other. They’re besties 💕💕💕
Hehehe sorry for the long ramble but I think about these two a lot. I think it’s so cool how their games are related but they’re also kind of opposites in some ways? This is probably ooc but I had a lot of fun writing. Lmk any thoughts!!
Warming him up
I’m finally playing Skyward Sword and Sky is genuinely the ADHD reputation that I never knew I needed
Like when he’s getting bullied by his peers for “having his head in the clouds”. LEAVE HIM ALONEEEE 😭 I heard that phrase so much growing up omg
Like I swear every other dialogue is about how he doesn’t focus and does his own thing like. Like. That’s mi gente.
BUT HIS DIALOGUE OPTIONS ARE WHAT KEEP GETTING ME. Every set of dialogue for Sky is
A). Huh??? The I wasn’t paying attention answer
B). Kind answer. Correct answer. I was paying attention answer :) I’m such a good boy
And then
C). Intrusive/Impulsive thoughts trying to escape the cage. Like what’s the most fucked up thing I can say right now? Let’s try and hold back but omg are they so funny.
Or at least that’s my headcanon that Sky is constantly fighting back a barrage of impulsive and intrusive thoughts at all times. People should be nicer when he asks them to repeat the question because he’s focusing on not insulting your bangs, your outfit, and your momma.
I have a new appreciation for Sky. Sparkle on you little hot mess.
i miss mockingjays, tails
i miss them a lot
do not repost ! reblogs encouraged !
Time and Warriors were bothering me so I’m assigning them new songs 😭 (the last ones still fit but I didn’t try as hard for them)
Warriors - When Memories Snow
And if I break Could I go on break? Be back in my room Writin' speeches in my head Listenin' to the thousand hands That clap for me in the dark
Time - Heaven
Hear the storm dances outside Something set free is running through the night And the dark awaits us all around the corner But here in our place, we have for the day Can we stay a while and listen for heaven?
Mitski Chain
I have a really bad habit that I’m trying to break 😭 Mitski is one of my all time favorite artists but… I made a really bad habit over time of listening to her music when I have felt my absolute worst 😮💨 Even thought I love her music so much I struggle to listen to it when I’m in a good mood because it tends to launch me back to the REALLY bad times I let myself listen to her. Like, in sake of my mental health I’ve had to lowkey ban her for myself
Soooo… I’m trying to slowly ease myself back into her music by trying to associate her with other things than my own struggles 😤
So here’s the chain as Mitski songs! And a lyric from the song that particularly stood out to me for the guy
(Honestly, I think any Mitski song can kind of be applied to any of the chain but this is just my mood for tonite)

Anywho, pls lmk what you think if you have any thoughts or arguments! (ughhh I’m sorry the layout is janky 😭 I wrote this in my notes app and it did not copy over well and won’t let itself be fixed)
I’m too tired to try and write an actual Drabble, but I think Dapper made it onto the boat with the elytra
Imagine with me:
The last we saw from bbh’s pov was Dapper pearling away. I imagine he makes it to a high point and uses the elytra, flying after the boat. He starts losing momentum and remembers his firework, which he uses just in time. It’s just enough to propel him fast enough to catch up. He crash lands onto the deck hard but everyone takes care of him.
Poor Dapper is absolutely distraught, more than anyone has ever seen him. He’s disoriented and hurt from months of running and being kidnapped. He hit the deck hard enough to hurt himself but he’s safe at the cost of his Father, siblings, and the rest of his family.
I imagine he’s inconsolable but everyone is able to take care of him.
I just saw the q!Bad lore from earlier and decided to make a summary of it while watching bc why not
It begins with him stopping at home real quick after hanging out with mouse & etoiles catching whales for the cookie quests. he found another lectern with a book on the opposite side of the “have a gourd time” one from yesterday (which now has a pumpkin grown next to it too lol)
“I hope you don’t mind me taking over that castle outside your house, old friend
-someone you used to know.”
-
he looked outside and lo & behold. there was an old castle there!
on the inner wall was a painting of someone…?
q!Bad was confused of what the heck this all was but then the painting went blank, and he got interrupted by a cloaked figure literally jumping him out of nowhere and stabbing him with a knife. haha what . ????
and then the painting changed back into um. this creepy version
so he obviously ran away bc Who Wouldn’t after that, saying how it feels like he should remember something but doesn’t. and “old friend” is kinda weird!! everyone he used to know is gone by now… but this is someone who caught up? he can’t remember o_o
Dapper woke up and q!Bad started yelling to her that they might have to move. understandable I would also be very scared. so he instantly scooped dapper up and dragged them out of the house and they have not gone back since :D
-
now we think that person in the painting is Hecate. goddess of magic, witchcraft, the night, necromancy. mostly because yesterday while waking up dapper said this:
looks like every day we might get another little piece to this puzzle…
I was planning to make some character analysis about q!Cell and what I think he would be like if he ever relapsed and knowing that most non-portuguese speaking people in the fandom haven't watched Fuga Impossível and if they had, they likely missed some details, I was going to explain how f!Cell was like... but then I tought, "why not make this a separate post explaining what the chracters were like", especially now that there's an interest on writing about Fuga Impossível and the events related to the series? So here we are.
• This is only about Fuga Impossível 1. I haven't watched Fuga Impossível 2 and know nothing about it other than Tazercraft's childhood being explained in it;
• I'm not going to explain the story in detail, only info related to the characters. Still, there are spoilers;
• The only characters I'll be talking about are Pac, Mike, Cell, JVNQ, Guaxinim and Felps (Felps isn't important to the series, but I'll talk about him because he is in the QSMP, so I thought it would be nice to explain his role in it);
• If I get any details wrong or miss something important, please correct me!
Tazercraft are pretty much the same personality as they have on QSMP. One thing that is a little different is that while on QSMP Tazercrafy are seen like the two platonic soulmates that can't live without the other and can't betray the other, on Fuga Impossível Tazercraft have actually attempt to betray each other. At the start, when they get caught trying to steal the most expensive diamond of the world, both of them snitch on the other without the other knowing, in hopes that by doing so the other would be blamed and they would be free or get a lighter sentence (it didn't work).
By the end of the series, when they escape Alcatraz but end up stranded in an island, they also almost fight each other because Cell was getting in their heads and making them becoming hostile to each other, believing the other was about to betray them. However, they realise they were being played by Cell and you could say that they got a character development, learning to trust each other over anyone else.
Mike is the instigator of the duo. He is almost like a leader, he is the one who suggests things the most and the one who usually gets the final saying on things. He is also more prone to do violent actions, like attacking a guard or do risky things like trying to escape the police station prison overnight without telling Pac beforehand. He doesn't trust people easily and sees beyond their façade.
Pac is almost the opposite of Mike. He weights the risks of everything and because of that he seems afraid of everything, but he is just being careful. He also tends to trust people who are even a little nice to him. When Cell offered protection and money to TazerCraft at the start of the series, he believed that Cell was doing it from the goodness of his heart, meanwhile Mike saw how Cell was weird and agressive and therefore dangerous.
In a way: Mike is more protective and is a hothead. Pac is more trusting and is the voice of reason. They complement each other, in what one of them lacks, the other exceeds.
Also, I said that I wasn't going to talk about Fuga Impossível 2, but I think it's a good thing to talk about what was shown about their past there:
Basically, they were orphans and met in an orphanage. Pac protected Mike from bullies as children and fixed his glasses with duct tape, something that is present on Mike's glasses to this day. From there they became inseparable and decided to start robbing as a way to get money to give to the unfortunate.
Another thing about them: they call each other "moço". From the places they come from, "moço" means "bro" or something like that. In other dialects, it means "sir", but it's wrong as it's not what they mean. Sometimes translations mess with this so keep it in mind.
So... yeah. Cell is a very recongnisable character. He works in the kitchen, which is where he got his knife from. He has a tongue tick that sounds like he is licking his lips loudly and that's important because he does it a lot and it's very noticeable when he is around (although other characters haven't realised it). He calls everyone "queridinho", which means "darling" (or more literally "little darling"), it kind of have the same impact as "honey" in English but when it comes from Cell's mouth it's threatening and creepy.
Other than his knife, he also has a Cellphone (which is where his name comes from) that he uses to threaten people with his contacts from outside (later it's shown that Cell's Cellphone has no signal and he has been fooling everyone for the longest time). He also carries a lot of money with himself.
From the point of view of others, Cell is scary and agressive. He threatens people if he thinks they're looking funny at him. He is very prone to violence, and while Mike contains himself especially with the help of Pac, Cell doesn't care most of the time and if given the chance he WILL attack and kill someone.
The thing about Cell (that is consistent with q!Cellbit as well) is that he values trust A LOT. He despises betrayals. When you think about that, you can almost see his side of things when he decides to kill JVNQ after he finds out that Tazercraft and JVNQ betrayed him and tried to escape without him. Especially because he didn't do anything to Tazercraft before that, other than threaten them if they ever betrayed him by showing a human ear (friendly beahavior /j).
Speaking of which, we now know for sure that Cell is a cannibal, but that is something that became canon/known only on QSMP. On Fuga Impossível, there are some hints of him being a cannibal, like his tongue tick (if you reach), the human ear he carries around and the fact that at the end of the series he let Tazercraft starve and suggest that they cannibalize each other, but nothing concrete.
Another thing about Cell is that he controls Alcatraz. He blackmails Felps, who is a guard, and makes him do whatever he wants, going from searching Tazercraft's cell when it's not needed, to getting him out of solitary confinament early. He's also the leader of a gang.
Cell is also REALLY strong. He not only kills JVNQ, but also Felps and an entire rival gang by himself during a prison rebelion. We get to see the things from his point of view for a bit and everything is a little distorced, which is interesting. He is also REALLY fast.
To end this, Cell is also good at manipulating others. It's implied that he has used people to escape before. At the end, he also tries to get Tazercraft to betray each other. He first gives his knife to Mike and tells Pac that Mike was planning to kill him eventually, because there were 4 of them (with Guaxinim) and their boat could only carry 3. He really sweet talks Pac into trusting him and almost succeeded.
JVNQ is an important character at the start of the series. He is first shown trying to escape when Tazercraft are arriving Alcatraz. He has tried to escape countless times before and it's later discovered that those attempts were actually him gaining time to do an actual escape by boat, buildimg the boat and everything.
He and Cell doesn't have a good relationship and it's never explained why*. Both of them warn TazerCraft to stay away from the other and they choose to be on JVNQ's side.
(*correction: JVNQ mentions that Cell used his friends and got them killed trying to escape, which is the reason why he hated Cell.)
JVNQ tries to escape with TazerCraft, Cell hears them and demands to be included in the plan. They pretend that they're going to include him and say that they're going to escape the day after, but they actually were going to escape that night. However, Cell finds out and when TazerCraft are not looking, Cell kills JVNQ and "assumes" his role (but this first time it fails).
JVNQ is buried by TazerCraft later in the prison's cemettery. There, they find a note telling them to trust Guaxinim.
Guaxinim is a character that shows up only later in the series. He is a friend of JVNQ and an engineer. When he is presented, he is in solitary confinament.
Guaxinim and Cell seems to have... a thing. Just like JVNQ, him and Cell hate each other. But the difference is that Guaxinim is the only one who can make Cell shut up and even threaten him back. There is a scene where Cell is mad as hell, blood all over his body and knife in hands, saying "I'll make you shut up" and Guaxinim instead of backing off, he tells Cell "Then do it" and Cell only looks and walks away. When he, Cell and Tazercraft get stranded in an island trying to escape, Cell only gives food to Guaxinim and although it's mainly because Guaxinim was the only one who could fix the boat, there is a bigger intimacy between them. It's part of why TazerCraft almost betray each other, they think that Guaxinim had already betrayed them. Because although he was their friend and not Cell's, it was clear that Cell and Guaxinim knew each other long before them. But this is all subtext and nothing is really confirmed.
Guaxinim doesn't betray TazerCraft and instead builds a trap that keeps Cell from following and killing them when they do leave the island for good.
Overall, Guaxinim is very misterious but at the same time friendly to the people who he thinks deserves it.
As I said before, Felps is not an important character, but I will talk about him because he is on QSMP and is important for the connection between Fuga Impossível and QSMP.
Somehow, Felps death was retconned on QSMP and instead he not only lived but also found Cell alone in the island he was stuck in. They became best friends after that and Felps helped Cell get therapy.
Felps was a prison guard that was being blackmailed by Cell and for a while he reluctantly did everything Cell told him to do until he found out that Cell's Cellphone didn't have signal. Then he stopped listening to him but it backfired shortly after because Cell killed him**.
(**correction: Felps never learned about his cellphone never having signal, he was killed before TazerCraft could tell him.)
So, that's everything!
