THE 4TH WALL WILL DIE!! >:D

Disclaimer: I love stories that break the 4th wall, but I'm actually not that good at doing it myself. ._. Also, when I chose this username on Ao3, I didn't expect to ever actually write a fanfic. Welp! Unexpected things happen sometimes! :D Not complaining about this in particular.

[destroy-the-4th-wall]

About time I wrote this intro thing-

Hello! You can call me 4th or D, whichever you'd prefer! Pronouns are she/they and I'm in my early 20s.

Current hyperfixations are Hollow Knight and Deltarune. Undertale is close, but not quite there atm. ;-;

Please feel free to ask me about my interpretations of characters from these. I'd love to answer questions or confirm/deny statements about how I view them. Same also goes with OCs!! Currently, I have Sammy and Rebel as OCs. Both are Hollow Knight ones... that I haven't made many posts about... >_>" Shit.

Asking about RPs is fine, but I can't promise anything will come of it for any number of reasons. I'd also prefer being asked in DMs or via a non anonymous ask, since I'm pretty sure I can answer them privately. I get anxiety about RPing and whatnot in public online, even if there doesn't seem to be much reason to. ^^" Please make sure to include at least some information, whether it be a character(s) you want to use, which one(s) you want me to use, an idea of what could happen, etc..

I'm willing to RP my interpretations of the Addisons and Spamton, as well as Sanses that I've mentioned here. I've been posting the most about Spamton and the Addisons lately, s o I may be biased in this regard.

My HK OCs are also fine, but bear in mind that Rebel's a child and Sammy's a primal aspid. No NSFW with anyone anyway, but especially not with the OCs.

You can also just feel free to say hi. I might be pretty awkward at first, though. XD

Miscellaneous info about how I view the Addisons (Future masterpost? Not actually sure yet)

*reads what you put*

*remembers a power I've been thinking about for a little while*

*sWEATS* >_>"""

In all seriousness, crefewfdweferf- I thought your answer was thoughtful, as well! ^^ And the "seems totally harmless until BAM" part is absolutely my thing. XD Or I at least love to write characters who are like that... and uh, we'll just ignore the WIPs and the fact that I haven't been writing much lately- ᕕ("ᐛ )ᕗ

Regardless- I really liked reading the answer you put! ^^

IGNORE RHE WIPS THATS SO TRUE. ME TOO BESTIE i have like 5 ace attorney wips since the new year and its only february. whoops !

IT JUST FITS U I THINK. im glad you liked it!

[destroy-the-4th-wall]

And that's not even taking into account the stories that just live rent free in your head that never even see the light of day. XD The struggles of writing-

[irishironclad]

Reblog and tag the person you reblogged this from with what kind of magic you think they’d perform. Ex. Fire magic, ice magic, Necromancy, etc

[bubblegum-gf]

tumblr isn’t a social media it’s a farmers market and the people you follow are the vendors and your mutuals are regulars and sometimes a person I buy pumpkins from will start selling realistic models of sailboats and damn i’m not gonna buy any but I will come by and compliment you on your sailboats

[systlin]

If any of y’all didn’t know, there’s a free online library, aka

https://openlibrary.org/

and I found like, twelve ebooks I’ve been wanting to read on there, and blasted through like three of them during the course of a boring-ass shift.

[skaldish]

Guy there are books on magic on there.

[systlin]

There’s books on EVERYTHING there!

[eudevie]

Wouldn’t this be bad for authors though? or is this like a normal library where they get /some/ money?

[systlin]

It’s like a normal library. Libraries can upload ebooks there and let people check them out through openlibrary if you have an openlibrary account, or it can point you to nearby libraries that have physical copies of the book for you to go and check out. If you check out books via openlibrary it counts towards the count of books checked out from the library that uploaded the ebook, and they can use it in their reporting and funding and stuff.

There’s like 150 libraries partnered with openlibrary so far.

They also have copies that you can check out if you are print-disabled.

[systlin]

You can also ‘sponsor a book’, which means you pay the cost of the ebook you want openlibrary to acquire, and then they can add it to their collection and let people check it out.

[systlin]

https://openlibrary.org/authors/OL26576A/Tamora_Pierce

I sure did!

And click on a title even if it says ‘no ebook available’ and scroll down, ‘cause sometimes that just means “all of the copies of ebooks are checked out right now but you can get on the waitlist when it’s back in”

[kayliemalinza]

This is part of the Internet Archive! I’ve posted about this before. Please go, it’s amazing.

[laroonthedragonchu]

This post is getting marked NSFW and I think that’s a travesty.

[smaakburg]

You’re wrong, the lack of railings is the very definition of NSFW

[technologyvoid]

I feel like spreading positivity so.

If you get tagged here, here’s a few messages from the person who tagged you:

You are one of the coolest people I know, if not THE coolest ever. I may not have known you for long, but it feels like my whole life, and I don’t know what I would do without you. If I haven’t met you my life would be fundamentally different. You may have changed, but I’ve changed with you, and I think we’ve both grown a lot, and for the better.

I love seeing you create stuff! Be it art, writing, headcannons, or something you DIY-ed, I know that any time you make something it’s bound to be good. Every project you start is always very exciting, even if you don’t finish it! Watching you create is always very fun.

I know you have bad days, we all do. Don’t hesitate to talk to me if you need to. I’m always here, I’ll always listen, and I’ll always do my best to try to understand and help. Know that you’ll always be loved and appreciated!

Here’s to our friendship growing even more in 2023!

(ps. don’t feel pressured to tag anyone back! This is just to let you know that you’re loved and appreciated. And if you were planning on tagging someone, but see that they’ve already been tagged, don’t worry! This will be a message from you to them. Tag them!)

[destroy-the-4th-wall]

TELL ME ABT EASTER EGGS PLS PLS PLS

CAECWEDWEFWED- AAAAAAIDK WHICH ONES TO PICK-

A couple of things stick out in my mind in particular, though-

This one seems to be more widely-known. When you're helping Wheatley with his plan to escape the facility, when he talks about "Bring your daughter to work" day, if you look at the science fair project with the giant potato plant growing up into the ceiling, in the bottom right of the project, Chell's name is there. That's an easter egg that gets talked about a lot.

In one of the chambers, the one with a turret in the vent as you walk in, if you kill that turret with the laser and go through the vent, you can come across four other turrets singing/playing music/effectively serenading the big white turret you see at the end as you leave the facility. Also see a lot of stuff mentioned about that, but I don't think I see that one get talked about quite as much? Probably because it's not necessarily related to lore or character backgrounds like the first is, though.

In the chamber after the one that initially introduces aerial faith plates, if you take the radio that comes out with the trash, there's an office/room in that test chamber with a broken window. You should take the radio with you to that room. :)

And this last one is more just a funny detail, BUT I DON'T SEE ENOUGH PEOPLE MENTIONING IT- maybe just because I don't go looking for stuff like this much anymore, but still-

So, after Wheatley takes control of the facility, and you and GLaDOS come back to the upper floors of Aperture, GLaDOS uses her plan to fry Wheatley's circuits by saying a paradox. Plan fails, because he's a moron. GLaDOS barely manages not to fry herself.

...The cubes in that room are fried, though!

In other words, they're smarter than Wheatley. Scientifically proven to be, even. XD

I'd have to go back through and the play the game again, but holy shit, I hyperfixated on this game SO MUCH in middle school- XD

[shayminsh]

JIST FINISHED PORTAL 2. HHHHHHH

IT'S TIME FOR VANDALISM-

--New hyperfixation acquired--

[lizofalltrades]

NEW CHALLENGE

1. FIRST, create a picrew using this maker, and then 2. SECOND take this quiz on how fandom would see you if you were a fictional character.  3 (THIRD) POST YOUR PIC AND YOUR DESCRIPTION IN THE REBLOG!

Bastard (Good)

You’re a bastard. A wet cat, if you will. And we love you for it. You’re a little shit, but in the good way. You are the baddest babygirl. You killed a man, but you looked good doing it. You flirted with the hero and the enemy. All of Tumblr is madly in love with you. Congrats, I guess?

Tagging EVERYONE but especially @magicaltear, @the-beeses-kneeses, @wafflesrisa, @mykingdomforapen, @marbat, @scientistsinistral, @halberdierminister​!

The Weird One

 You’re the weird one, the one that half of tumblr babygirls and all of twitter is slightly scared of. You’re probably autism-coded, and you probably also know some vital information that you shouldn’t, for some reason.

I’m both flattered and concerned, lol.

Tag you’re It  @birdie-ghost​ , @ilivelikeimtrying​, @betasuppe​,

[birdie-ghost]

I got assigned the fandom’s dead blorbo and idk how to feel About it.

...Karma, I guess. XD

"I love this character so much! :D" *puts character through more traumatic shit*

@theaimlesswalker @just-alex-and-art @/anyone else who wants to do this

[destroy-the-4th-wall]

Does Spamton feel guilty about other darkners he killed? Before the whole failed part..

Somewhat, yeah. But his biggest problem is more or less that he was told to do it, and he felt the need to comply.

He also worries about what would've happened if Blip hadn't greeted him and shown genuine concern for his well-being... Would he have listened to Kris then, if he still assumed Blip and his other siblings no longer cared about him? But he still cares deeply about them himself, so would he still have turned on Kris, despite how he thought they felt? Those sorts of questions keep him up at night. And the insomnia he had already, but that's besides the point.

He does still feel bad about killing certain people he didn't know, or ones he might've known well enough to know they hadn't really done anything to deserve that, in his mind.

Like I said, the manipulation aspect is still what gets to him most. The rest mostly bothers him if it's brought up directly or if he thinks about it too much and starts having a PTSD attack.

It's a little complicated, but overall, he doesn't feel as bad about that as would be expected of the average darkner. I mean, I never said he was a good person.

He's just glad to be back with his family. Going out for food with them all and not realizing Blip sneakily paid for all of it already, going out with Gimmick and pickpocketing people near Queen's mansion, playing video games with Illy causing utter chaos together, talking to Spark and saying factually incorrect things about marine biology-

Normal stuff from before. XD Of course, not everything's back to normal, and will never get to be, but he's still glad he's back with his siblings.

[artblock-tm]

It's not MY fault they're so easy to whack with a comically large angst hammer

[letswritestories101]

no :)

[destroy-the-4th-wall]

Wonder what it would take for Spark to process the situation. Or is it going to just happen?

If you're talking about the events of the Failed Salt Route, it would take a while for them to process, since they didn't directly witness any of it. ADHD's effects on object permanence can do that (I think it's object permanence). :') Same for Illy, but they'd be quicker to process it for other reasons.

It would probably take Spamton having a PTSD attack while Spark's nearby for them to realize how much it affected him, if that's what you mean. So, a couple weeks later? To process the general loss of life, that would take much longer, or it may never fully sink in.

If you're wondering about future writing in this ask... ah. Oops. ^^" I've been meaning to write more of this, and then I just. Didn't. :') Usually getting distracted by other games, of course.

That's something that probably wouldn't have been covered in the main parts of this timeline anyway, but it'd be an interesting one-shot on the side, and I already have Ideas™-

Thank you for the ask! ^^ It's nice to see people interested in what I'm writing, and asks especially can help spark some ideas. :D

[rondoel]

Gotta act before he changes his mind ;D

Comfort after the previous one as promised. One more to go!

[rondoel]

It’s sad Mato hours! Inspired and based on this fantastic fic that made me cry 🥲

(but don’t worry, I plan to make a lil continuation in which some bit of comfort ensues)

update: continuation
