So Close - Tumblr Posts
Excerpt: Gladiators of Kaon
I'm agonizing over this chapter but that's okay because it's fucking HILARIOUS and ENDEARING and my SIDES. I'm not nervous who's nervous
but also
also shenanigans only Soundwave's little gremlins could get up to
(Sneak peak scene below the cut)
You’re still struggling to process this. You’d been prepared for shenanigans, but this-- this is something else entirely. His Sparklings made a magnesium flare bomb. His Sparklings made a magnesium flare bomb. His Sparklings made a fragging BOMB while their distracted Sire was out visiting your glowing aft across town. No fucking wonder he wants someone supervising them while he’s away, and somehow, you highly doubt he trusts any of the mechs downstairs to do it. Case in point: his Sparklings made a fucking bomb.
Today is the only day you can share this!
THE MANDALORIAN
Chapter 14: The Tragedy
me at 12 yrs old: i can't be a lesbian because i like boys.
me: *remembers bisexual people exist*
me: uh-oh.
The bisexual to aroace pipeline is pretty much having the right idea and coming to the wrong conclusion. Yeah buddy you're not straight and you're also not gay. No not like that though, the other way around
Context: The Party is at a dwarven consulate type place with a mysterious egg they found underground. They've been told to hide it or get rid of it or do whatever they can to get it out of that place...
DM: Uh, who has the egg again?
Me: I think Agaricus does.
DM: Perfect! *goes into a long description of the egg suddenly hatching into a 90-foot tall dragon-esque creature with chains and flesh for scales called The Stonecrusher. It kills many people and tears the place apart.* So what are y'all going to do?
Me: I want to calm it! (I'm an Elf Rogue, btw)
DM: Are you sure? This thing is MASSIVE!
Me: I want to pet the big puppy!
DM: Roll for Animal Handling.
Me: *rolls a 16*
DM: Roll 2 more for me, please
Me: *rolls a 21 and a 14* I-is that good?
DM: Roll a single survival check with advantage
Me: *rolls a 3 and a 15* I shall take the 15!
DM: *rolls a d100 and gets a 14* I don't believe this.
Me: I MADE A NEW FRIEND?!
DM: You only had a 15% chance of this working, and I rolled a 14. You needed above a 14 on all 3 checks to even get that far. You wanted to try and calm it down, and you succeeded. However, taming it is a whole other thing, and if you somehow manage to do THAT, I'm calling the game won at that point. If you roll a nat 20 then it will be your pet.
Me: *rolls a 19* NO! I'M GONNA CRY!
DM: I would have cried if you got it.
last week of being a teenager... idk how to feel
Flashback to the post that made me read Homestuck, God bless
what she says: i'm fine
what she means: when hiveswap is released toby fox will likely talk about it which will encourage youtubers to play it. due to its popularity matpat will read homestuck in order to theorise about hiveswap which, knowing matpat's humour, will be full of bucket jokes. this will encourage many younger people to read homestuck which will lead to a homestuck renaissance full of bucket jokes and unsealed grey face paint. there will be fights between homestuck fans and hiveswap fans. all hell will break lose. 10 year olds everywhere will be screaming fuckass
if the mcu brings the xmen in and these two genius giants don’t have a goofy scene about having hands Too Big For Science and constantly breaking things in the lab, i am going to riot
finishing a manuscript...
Me: So close. I only need a couple more chapters. I can have this finished in a week.
Also me: Time to ditch this almost fully completed first draft and start something brand new that I had the idea for two minutes ago!
"Are you ready to get your present?" She asked smiling at him tenderly.
*Jumps up and down like a little kid* Yes yes yes yes yes! OUO
