Yippee!!

Martyninthelittlewood you pathetic fool of a man you’ve given me an addiction from which I cannot recover /hj 💔 They/Them

[bash-my-brains-in]

Incase yall didn’t know about Martyn newest character, martyn/bubbles/haybale/meowtyn/idiot/refrigerator/archebald/etc. Go watch the flight smp so you’re up to date about what I’m talking about or so you can avoid getting somewhat spoiled about the character. I’m calling them No Name for simplicity sake.

We all know that No Name has no proper memories of their past, like where they’re from or how they got to the academy, and they’ll use some japanese in their everyday vocabulary or when choosing decorations for their room. I personally really like the idea that No Name didn’t come from any place that even somewhat resembles japan, instead, they lived in some random extremely southern town in the middle of bumbfuck nowhere.

The real reason that they struggle to remember their name isn’t because they have a magical block on that specific part of their memories, it’s just that everyone they knew before does what southerners do when they’re close to you and called them by literally anything but their actual name. Like No Name would walk into the local grocery store and the cashier would be like, “Is that all you want for today, kitten?” or they’d be in the middle of helping their neighbor mow their lawn and the guy would say something along the lines of, “Good job, squirt, now come inside so I can give you a glass of water.” y’know things like that.

So their brain is trying to pull any recent memory of their name being said and they’re coming up short because their entire fucking town decided to treat them like a mangy little mutt they found on the side of the road and only called No Name by the affectionate nicknames they gave, making it so they don’t actually have any memories to use to remember their original name.

No Name is basically that one meme where the guy answers the call by saying “Moshi moshi?” and the other guy replies in the most heavy spanish accent you’ve ever heard, just replace the spanish with extreme southern slang.

I’ve been thinking about treebark lately (shocking, I know) and about soul eater’s whole meister and weapon thing and after a lot of thinking, I’ve come to the conclusion on who would be what.

Martyn would be the meister, and Ren would be the weapon, a large, double-sided axe.

Let me explain, normally you would assume Martyn being Ren’s right hand man would mean he logically should become Ren’s weapon, but it’s much more complicated than that. In soul eater, being a meister isn’t just getting a human weapon and swinging it around, nor is it commanding your weapon to fight. It’s actually more like the opposite. The meister isn’t nearly as in control of a fight as the weapon is, after all, it’s been shown that the weapons are fully capable of moving without their meister, even moving against them if they really try while in their weapon form, and they’re completely free of any issues of control when in human form.

The meister relies on their weapons to trust them enough to let them use them in battle, and to have faith that the meister will be able to use them properly. At any moment during a fight, their weapon can just change their mind, retransform back into a human, and completely abandon their meister. Martyn, for all of his faith in Ren, most definitely is a mistrusting person first and foremost. If he were a weapon in the soul eater universe, I couldn’t see him being Ren’s weapon right away, not without Ren doing something to prove to Martyn that it wouldn’t be a bad choice. Even then, I could see him having some doubts at the start.

The reason I think Ren should be the weapon is because of the red king’s beheading. During the scene, Ren gave Martyn control and trusted that he would do the right thing, that he would listen to Ren and follow through. I think that trust, the knowledge the Ren can look at Martyn and think that he’ll always help. That Ren, for all of his bravado, would be willing to trust Martyn to take control and do what needs to be done. It just feels like a good weapon mindset to have with their meister.

Also I just really like the idea of Martyn being extremely subservient to Ren, his weapon, while Ren gets to boss Martyn around. Kinda like Crona and Ragnarok, but much more healthy and also not connect by blood.

Now obviously this is just an opinion, a very bias one tbh. I did briefly entertain the idea of both of them being weapons that switch around wielding each other, but I wanted to stick with the whole meister and weapon bit. Also, if you’re curious, I figured that Martyn as Ren’s weapon would be a set of gloves that gives Ren extremely powerful claws, really leaning into the whole ‘right hand’ metaphor.

New headcanon on Frogue and Alistar

I like to think that the big boss of the rouge guild knows at a bit of a magic, a multi-class rouge if you will, and that’s why they know what magic is needed to hide them perfectly from other magic users. Because of that, I like to think that the boss casted a type of telepathy on the rouges, so that they can communicate with each other close range.

Not enough for like full blown conversations, but enough to get simple ideas across, like if two rouges are close enough in a crowd together and they’re both in the rouge guild they can just think ‘guard left guards’ and avoid the guards. It’s obviously not strong enough for long distance conversations or for complex plans, but it’s enough to help your fellow rouge out in a pitch if your quick enough

Basically if Alistar is in a room with Frogue they can mentally project the though process of ‘king hot will betray trust king hot very nice’ to Frogue and he just has to stand there and accept it

[7/14] V!Sausage, if only it was a happy ending.

[bash-my-brains-in]

I remember reading somewhere that if you tried to put a frog in boiling water right away, the frog will immediately try to jump out of the pot. But if you put the frog inside the pot with normal water, and then slowly begin to boil it, the frog will continue to stay in the pot even as it’s boiled alive.

To me, Frogue’s manipulation is like the boiling pot. When he first started as king, his manipulation wasn’t very good. Hell, the only reason he got away with most of the shit he did is because he ordered Katie to not say anything and because most of the red kingdom weren’t expecting him to be super evil bad guy day one of his reign. With Katie, he tried to shove her into the boiling pot instantly by making her do something truly awful, and then slammed a lid on top of it to prevent her from immediately snitching.

In some weird, twisted way, I think that was Frouge’s way of connecting with her. By carrying such a horrible secret with her, and having it so she was at far more immediate risk if it was revealed compared to him, I think he became more comfortable around her. After all, hard to believe your knight will stab you in the back when they were willing to kill their friend’s child and keep it secret just because you command them. He probably saw their relationship with a mutual destruction kinda lens, she won’t try to destroy me if I can just as well ruin her. Frouge grew compliant with Katie and loosen his grip on the lid, completely forgetting that the lid was a temporary roadblock, not a permanent solution.

And what do you know, the millisecond Frouge could no longer hold down the lid, Katie immediately jumped out the pot and told everyone the truth. I think Frouge quickly learned that getting someone in the pot wasn’t enough, he needed them to willingly stay inside it.

In comes Ser Bek.

Now from the start, Frouge was a lot less intense with Bek compared to Katie. Which, if I was Katie, I would have lost my shit long ago. Like what do you mean I got the “kill the child before sunrise or you’re a complete failure to this kingdom and all it stands for” red king, while Bek got the silly “I just took a blunt lol wanna help me build my farkle hall no pressure though” Frouge, like what the fuck.

Anyway, because Frouge wasn’t being a general threat to mankind around Bek, she never really saw anything wrong with him. Like yeah sure, his utter distaste for the blue kingdom was a bit concerning, and yeah his personality left a lot to be desired in their new king, but it wasn’t like he was actively ruining the red kingdom as far as she could tell, so Bek was pretty much on decent terms with Frouge. Then the end of Frouge’s reign happened, all the truths coming out and the shouting and the reactions, which were a lot more chill then I’d thought they be, everything happens and Frouge runs away with the crown. Bek goes after him, finds him working on the farkle hall and begins to speak with him.

This is where the boiling pot metaphor comes back into play, because Frouge knows he’s alone right now and isn’t in a position to make any more enemies. He doesn’t try to command Bek to help, he doesn’t immediately accuse her of betraying him, he instead points out what he said has come true. How their side was poisoned by the blue kingdom, how not even seconds after the blue king was crowned, suddenly baseless allegations are being thrown at him, how even with all their claims, they proved no actual evidence besides their words. He then pivots into asking for her opinion, what does Bek think? Does she really believe he did that? Does she feel it’s right to make such claims and not provide solid proof?

He claims that Katie is power hungry, she was him for a time after all, she learned what it was like to be in power. He plants that seed of doubt, how willing she was to throw one monarch out for another, one that’ll probably meet the same fate as him. How Katie is playing the long game, that she slowly poisoning them all, and Bek doesn’t even realize it. Bek tries to fight back by pointing out that listening to the monarch of the red kingdom is what she does, that she’ll do it with the current ruler, just like how she did with him. She rightfully points out how everyone has warned her about him, how they are all cautious of Frouge. Thats where Frouge really sinks in, that whenever she speaks about what she thinks, it’s constantly them or us, never me or I.

What about Bek? He asks again, what does Bek, only Ser Bek, believe?

Sure, in the end they don’t exactly part on perfect terms, and sure, Bek absolutely doesn’t believe him in that moment, but Frouge learned from Katie how to properly manipulate a knight.

You don’t shove them into the pot and say it’s for the good of the kingdom, you put them in the water and ask them, what about you? How do you feel? You slowly add the heat by pointing out how the people act, how they treat their allies verse their enemies, how the kingdom is affected by their behavior. You don’t slam a lid down so they don’t jump out, you step back and ask them, is this really what you want for your kingdom? To have it slowly rot from the inside? The frog glares from water, it bites back and points out your flaws. Yet the knight doesn’t jump out of the pot, and Frouge keeps adding heat as Bek listens.

TL;DR - Frog in the pot metaphor for how Frouge originally manipulated Katie and how that backfired on him, only to try again on the other kight, Bek. He’s getting better at manipulating people and by god I want manipulated Ser Bek and evil Sausage to be with Frouge, it’d be so cool.

Guys Martyn’s newest stream makes me look so bad omg

In Martyn’s bannerfall video, The Only Red Online, at 1:23:22, he says and I quote, “It grew character, for Katie.” Like I said that first??

Plus when I said it I meant as like a fun little thing that lets Katie fans learn more about her character but when he says it he sounds like an abuser saying that the trauma made her stronger and it’s all over for him gang

Oh my goddddd Martyn you fool you’re dragging us both down 💔

Playing any dating sim as an aroace person is so fun because I’ll open the game and it’ll be like “We have five different boys that will all fight for your love! What should they call you?” and I’m like “um no not me I’m making this a random character and I’ll play wingwoman for them” and then the entire game is like “omg I love you *character name* your so hot and smart” and I’ll be like “Cool I’m glad that *character name* is appreciated”

Its extra funny because while the game is throwing like seven different shirtless cutscenes to try and get me to pick based off attraction, instead I’m acting like a judging mother to this charter I’ve made up for this one game and keep going “idk about Brad he’s kinda pushy about physical space, Leo is annoying and keeps downplaying your intelligence, I think John might be your best pick he actually understands what no means” like I’m not completely in control of my character’s actions and I’m not the one the men are trying to get with

[bash-my-brains-in]

Just posting this to say I will be supporting Frouge’s evil actions while he’s the king!!

Is he going mad with power? Yes. Should he actually listen to his subjects instead of just ordering them around? Yes. Should he stop forcing the people around him to sacrifice their morals for a false narrative that claims their actions are for the good of the kingdom? Yes. Should he actually make good on his promises to everyone instead of constantly sabotaging any chance of positive change between the kingdoms? Probably! Do I give a fuck? No! That shit is funny as fuck!! Having the little frog guy immediately become a dictator the second he’s in a position of power is super funny and I’m sick of pretending it’s not!

Haters gonna hate but at least he’s making shit happen instead of just spending his entire career building, (no hate to the previous leaders they were great) or playing nice with a kingdom they claimed to hate. Y’all wanted lore and character growth and drama and guess what? The evil frog tyrant is giving you all that and more!

Katie fans especially have every right to be mad, he’s actively making her life worst, but also!! She’s changing!!! Girl got knighted and now she’s learning what it truly means to serve your kingdom and she’ll have to learn how much she’s willing to sacrifice, she will undoubtedly grow from this! Frouge fans get to see another side of Frouge while he’s actively ruining other peoples lives and Katie fans get to see another side of their fav while she actively has her life ruined! It’s a two way street and complain all you want about where it’s leading and how it was built but it’s still a street!!

Anyway Frouge the rouge is my red king of 2026

Ranking life seasons in order of Rancherness GO!!

1. Double life - 10/10 Obviously. It's where they started and where they're actually teamed up, they're together every episode. The only thing that docks any points is how short the season is but they use every minute of it that they have. Their biggest interaction is either the scene where they find out they're soulbound by dying together or them getting their matching horns together.

2. Wild Life - 9/10 Jimmy and Tango are neighbours and distinctly allies despite their teammates rivalry in this one. Thus they get a lot of casual interactions by sheer proximity to one another which is something no other season has. They're cute, they're funny, they love killing and giggling about it. It's hard to pick a specific rancher moment because of the variety so I'm declaring the collective interactions the ranchers get whenever Jimmy sneaks up on Tango in the superhero episode, including Tango calling Jimmy handsome and Jimmy teasing Tango when he thought he was safe, all one big ranchers moment.

3. Secret Life - 7/10 The ranchers don't interact too much but the crumbs we do get are quality. This is also the first season Tango expresses wanting to team up with Jimmy again. Jimmy has a rivalry with Tango's teammate but that doesn't stop him from making things Weird whenever they interact and praising each other repeatedly. The biggest rancher moment was whatever the hell that scene where Tango willingly lets Jimmy blow him up that rewired the brain chemistry of every Rancher fan is.

4. Past Life - 6/10 Like secret life, the ranchers have limited one on one time but their teams are allies and they're very gentle with ecah other because of it, getting to openly team up and Jimmy even manages to create moments out of Tango being absent. As such this is the most ranchers in spirit, if a tad unmemorable. The biggest interaction is obviously Tango's death where Jimmy is giving him sanctuary only for Tango to die the second he turns his back.

5. Limited Life - 4/10 They're a bit awkward after DL, and their teammates decide they're going to be enemies off the bat. That said there's some sweet little stolen moments, mostly in their unwillingness to hurt each other, including one that isn't even in their povs. The most memorable (and collectively traumatic to the fandom) rancher moment is when Jimmy apologizes for hitting Tango in his escape from TIES after Joel killed their cow but the biggest rancher moment is when Tango praises Jimmy for Joel's kill.

6. Third Life - 2/10 Their biggest interaction is when Jimmy steals his cows. They briefly are both teamed up with Grian and wander from location to location together but Tango exclusively interacts with Jimmy and Scott as a unit and never one on one. He calls Jimmy Solidarity.

7. Last life - 0/10 I think they exchange 2 sentences with each other and they're both in a group convos. You won't find them even in the background of each others videos. Their biggest interaction is a tie between Jimmy unkowingly shooting invisible Tango and Tango not letting Jimmy play you bet your life because those are the only two interactions at all.

Recently got back into an Undertale/Deltarune obsession again and I wanna talk about how different it feels to play Undertale compared to Deltarun

Undertale feels like exploring a house you’ve never been in before with a stranger that’s also never been there and would rather die than make a decision, and other person that knows the house like the back of their hand, but would rather die than speak to you instead of the other stranger. Deltarune feels like exploring a house you’ve never been in but you swear you’ve seen before, with a stranger that somehow knows their way around the house but refuses to help you, and would rather kill you than have a normal conversation with you about the house and how you both got here.

Vampires smp is so funny cause I have NEVER seen a shipping war where the fandom was so nonchalant about it and the CREATORS were the competitive insane ones

[spacepipit]

We’re headed straight for hell and back (I’m running from a silhouette)

I saw this post and immediately started writing, and this is what came from that!

And this should not be possible. This isn't possible. Scott has known a great many strange things in his life, but waking in a place he's already awoken, wearing clothing he's already burned, is not something that happens. Or Scott Goldsmith wakes up in his own tomb, after six hundred years of slumber. And then he wakes up again. And again. And again.

HUGE Vampire SMP ep 7 spoilers!

I’m gonna fucking lose it dude are you joking

Everyone always talks about how Treebark fans are winning because we get so much content of them but they’re wrong, treebark fans lose because it don’t matter how much we get it always ends with one of them fucking dying/leaving the other

Like it doesn’t matter how much cake you get if every fucking slice is the piece of complete sorrow and despair

Plus fucking Doc’s voice softly breaking as he questions what he did wrong for that to happened, Apo responding with equal terror as she explains that the very thing she used to save Martyn killed him and don’t get me started on Sausage building them both graves with the saddest voice I’ve ever heard him speak in for this entire smp

That entire thing was just horrible from start to end and genuinely worst part was that we were so close to a happy ending

WE DIDN’T EVEN GET VAMPIRE MARTYN IN THE END THATS SOME BULLSHIT
