RIP Lance Reddick.

A few notes:

Admittedly this was one hell of a challenge. Unfortunately, I can't work on it anymore. Although I haven't known his work for very long, I've come to appreciate Lance Reddick's work, especially with Commander Zavala. What an icon. He is missed.

Eyes up guardians, and farewell to a legend

Reblog this picture of me holding a Family Size box of Honey Nut Cheerios? I’d really appreciate it.

How can I say no to such a great photo and such a polite request?

i will always support this post

@mooserattler back on my dash!

Why isn’t this at a million notes, yet, Dante???

I’m not sure. Hey lovely people who have taken me over half way to a cool million! If you’d like to reblog again, I’d love that, if not, I still love you, and hope you’re having a great day. I’m gonna go do some stand up tonight.

god come on we’re so close. this is like the only meaningful thing that this website could ever achieve

Blazblue Cross Tag Battle established that Ruby thinks the Susano'o Unit is dope and that she wants to try wearing it. Now I can't stop thinking what a Ruby with a Hakumen-esque redesign would look like.

This is like the American version of that one British guy reacting to the tea

“just put the cow in there next time” “girl, you are oppressing that coffee”

“You’re gonna put that in your body?” broke me 

This is exactly what it’s like workin at Starbucks

This is a potion to make you shit yourself.

Who hurt you, my children…?

yeah

You know what's been bothering me all morning?

Like it won't leave my freaking head?

Danny technically fits the criteria of a banshee.

And yes. Typically those types of spirits / faries where woman. But there were male ones too.

The males just went by a different name and were extremely rare.

They also frequently had white hair and black, gray, white and green color schemes.

Sound familiar?

Not to mention they were omens of death and in some cases destruction or catastrophes.

Like their sorrowful wails would fill the night with dread and anxiety right before bad things happened.

Also some stories describe the wail as being destructive at times or comforting in an eerie way, at others. It varies.

The shattering glass thing is what stuck with me.

They're also supposed to be able to sense doom and death.

So what if that applies to Dannys ghost sense. It's not just a ghost sense. It's literally a death sense.

He's sensing the dead before they show up. Just like a banshee can sense death beforehand as well.

This may also be why Vlad doesn't have a ghost sense in canon.

He's not the same type of Ghost as Danny is.

The ghost sense seems to be unique to Danny, specifically in the series.

Again male banshees are rare so that makes sense.

But the reason this won't leave me alone is because it fits Dannys character so well but also for the levels of angst it can provide as his ghost instincts get stronger.

He starts to get premonitions of Doom before they happen and his obsession naturally compels him to try and prevent them. But he doesn't just settle for giving a warning like other banshees. If Danny can prevent the disaster and save people he will. He's driven to protect, and help those in need as much as possible.

But then he gets those urges some nights, ones where he knows he will not be able to help.

He knows someone is about to die, and so he crys.

His wail is long and haunting and at first the citizens of amity fear it.

They assume that phantom is causing the deaths.

But then someone captures him in the act. Takes a video of his tear stained face as his voice carries out in sorrow.

And they realize Phantom is mourning a citizen he can't save.

thus gave me chills, i love it

so in an among us game the other night, a player in chat said “does anyone want to get married?”

and bc i was in it for shits and giggles, i said “yes”

he asked where we should get married and i told him we’d meet in comms, which was right at the end of that round. we started the next game, ran to comms together and danced around each other for a minute, which constituted our marriage ceremony. he then proceeded to just run around with me as we did tasks, which amused me to no end, and in out first body report meeting, he exclaimed, “I’M A MARRIED MAN.”

and then, inevitably, an impostor ran right up to us and murdered me. my new video game husband immediately reported my body.

everyone voted blue immediately, successfully avenging me

and then. the twist. my husband got caught murdering.

this is the content i come for

thinking about that WoW epidemic

i was telling my dad, ever the skeptic, about corrupted blood back in March at the start of lockdown, and how the cdc studied it. how it can be used as a model for what to do and how people might act in the event of an unpredicted pandemic, and how people were playing out the same behavior during covid.

he said “so they fixed it, right? how did they fix it in the game?” and i told him the truth: they didn’t. they couldn’t control it. they had to reset the servers and roll them back to the time before the ZG encounter.

a CNN article recently referenced another “viral” event in world of warcraft: leeroy jenkins facepulling as a metaphor for the expedited reopening of businesses. what it fails to mention however is how the video ends. everyone who charges in with leeroy dies. he wipes the raid.

it really feels like that meme where it’s like “wow, cool video game reference!” and the point soaring over their head says THE DAMAGE WAS IRREVERSIBLE. THE THREAT SPREAD TOO RAPIDLY AND EVERYONE DIED.

weird reframing of the corrupted blood incident to make it seem, for some reason, like it was all selfish actions that people said was unrealistic because real people would help others. in fact its literally the opposite, it was used as real world data specifically because of the player driven efforts to fix it

The reason this plague in the game was a good model is because we had all walks of life type people reacting in different ways.

Those with healing magic would go into infected areas to see if they could save the infected or at least keep them alive through the disease. Those that couldn’t do that tried to warn players before they entered infected areas. NPC could be infected and have “no symptoms”; they could be asymptomatic carriers and pass it to nearby players.

The best part though was by the time Blizzard had finally come out and said “if you are infected, try to quarantine yourself so you don’t spread it!!” the player base was ALREADY DOING SO. The players had recognized the problem and worked together in myriad ways to fix it.

They also had negative reactions as well, another reason this was such a good example of a real outbreak. They had a couple people report healers or alchemists who were claiming to sell cures/treatments to the disease that ultimately would do nothing. They had a group of players that would hide in the mountains near cities and just pass the disease back and forth between themselves and then raid cities to infect them all over again. They had higher level players start rebelling on the servers. Saying it was an overreaction and if you get it you’ll just die and you can come back and be fine, etc. Since they could get the disease and survive, ie it didn’t do enough damage to them since they were higher level, they felt it unnecessary to care about whether they got it or not. They complained about not getting to play like normal just because this plague could kill lower level players.

ALL of these reactions, good and bad, were real enough to what we assumed a real life epidemic would play out that people started to use it as a model. And now look, we have proof that it was accurate.

However, what we needed to learn from it was primarily that it wasn’t reversible. The bad reactions and lack of care from the few players that weren’t cooperating made it impossible in the end to contain. The only reason it was fixed at all is the game had to reverse time, literally just delete their entire game log a few weeks and time travel weeks into the past to before the plague even began.

Think about that.

The reason no one believed it was a valid model is that it was a video game and thus the consequences weren’t permanent. “No one would act like that in real life.” But look at how we are handling this outbreak. Is it not eerily similar?

And we can’t time travel.

Ah shit, here we go again.

I love this au

Inspired by a Game Grumps quote that fit Sonic to a T and refused to leave my mind until I got it down on paper. I like to think Sonic and Shadow don’t mind each other’s company when they’re not actively fighting. If they by chance run into each other- they’ll race!

“A-Babies vs. X-Babies” By Skottie Young.

i hate it when game devs put “fixed several issues” in patch notes 

no. tell me what you fixed. i wanna know what the glitch was.

you know those patch notes that are like “fixed an issue where if the player sat in a bush for too long, they’d become the size of a skyscraper” 

i wanna read those. tell me those. 

Adjusted value of Bees. Now that was a special one… because every item in the game had a minimum value, and a beehive was a container for bees, which each had a minimum value… which meant the moment one of your dwarves picked up a beehive, your entire fortress’ net worth skyrocketed… a value used in determining how powerful the foes that visit and try to murder you are.

Reblogging for the explanation of what “adjusted value of bees” actually means, because I know several folks following this blog have been wondering.

I haven’t been much active in the DP Fandom so I don’t know if anyone has been thinking about this but, here’s an AU where Fenton Works is SCP Foundation and Danny/the other ghosts are SCPs.

Since Danny can transform into a human form & do the ghostly wail, he’s considered as the most dangerous SCP.

Here’s where he gets his name “Daniel”(with nickname Danny). Combination between danger and thaumiel, the object class he was in. 

Since Danny has never shown anything harmful, the foundation trusted him & trained him. Even treated him like a son. 

Even tried bringing him to school, to see if he can work with human… Slowly he follows the human’s rule.

It was between life and death but, he managed to interact with humans & became friend~  

(Also, to prevent Danny from school depression, a tiny clone of him was created)

Last but not least, here I am playing with the acronym(I don’t think the pic 100% fits in the acronym’s meanings but oh well)
