yes I am the horrible creeping bag of sound that is the most worst to you! I will use my beak to mischief you and I will press B. I wobble my snake-front-body and I waggle my bag-back-body and they meet in the middle to plan a bad idea to upset you. I flap back and forth my business rear for balancing and I snapple-pap my feet all up and down the town for terrible reasons, and you don’t like it. I am the goose and you are the miserable boy with no honk. I invented my body and it was the best idea.

This is the most brilliant fanfic I have read this year, and I am not exaggerating in the least.

kyraneko

I am awestruck and in love with the descriptions.

Horrible bag of sound.

I hold up all of my wings and I make more layers of me.

I snapple-pap my feet all up and down the town for terrible reasons

You are all the way stood up, all the way confused, all the way overalls and no ideas.

I make a fight between yourself and your memory.

I have all I need in my wicked goose-body, and also I have your radio.

My body is the softest triangle with a hose attached.

Here I am coming, with the good news of me, and you hate it.

It’s like BirbRightsActivist and Ceiling Cat and an obscure Song Dynasty poet all got together, indulged in some recreational substances, and decided to write a song but halfway through decided to become God instead.

I literally cried from laughing reading this

spazzbot

This is perfect and true

jackscarab

This is the best fanfiction of the decade.

I have read this at least ten times now and it is genius every time. I really want a t-shirt of angry goose with wings and honk deployed with “I honk directly at God” above it in bold font.

I swear to god I am doing this as a monologue someday. I just read it aloud and it was THE BEST.

other things I love:

- the title is a reference to an obscure horror movie called I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives In The House

- Daniel Lavery also wrote the famed Women Rejecting Marriage Proposals In Western Art History series, and I knew this had to be his work from the first quotes I read

I really want to post an audio recording of this because it is SO GOOD read aloud. The ENERGY.

inotrope

One of those pieces I go back and reread regularly because of the delighted and delightful poetic mischief in every line. It’s also a trans anthem, imo, not least because “I invented my body and it was the best idea“ is all sorts of goals.

naamahdarling

The sheer stubborn, fearless, in-your-face insistence of “Here I am coming, with the good news of me, and you hate it.” is also just…very trans.

I can’t believe I haven’t seen this before now but it is honestly one of the most beautiful pieces of prose poetry I have ever seen. The deft language, the words DEFYING their usual roles, it burgles my heart right out of me. I AM this goose, unrelenting and myself. Good lord, it’s terrific.

Did Sam just talked David Tennant into the Vox Machina cast?!

this seems like a good idea for a low-level party DnD module (with hundreds of dice throws, yup)

Just a lil recap of my favorite creations during the inktober challenge… WHICH I FINISHED FOR THE FIRST TIME. I’ll go back to drawing monsters and characters too, but I am having a lot of fun making this magic items for DnD 5e. If you like them, it would help me greatly making it a viable project if I gain more followers on the dedicated instagram. Anyway, tumblr is still my fav hell circle of the internet, I wanted to thank all of you, I love you all, my little cursed followers, and thank you all for the love, likes and reblogs <3 https://www.instagram.com/luca_emporium

i’ve seen a lot of posts floating around that decry skyrim’s stupider mods (skimpy armor, bouncy breast-and-butt physics, etc), but i haven’t seen any lately that point out the fun ones, which is a shame. so i’ve written up a quick list of my favorite obscure-ish mods to share with you all—these aren’t massive overhauls, just little tweaks here and there that add to the overall experience

female giants: fantastic reskin that replaces some of skyrim’s male giants with women. there are a few mods for this on the nexus, but this is the only one in which the giantesses resemble their male counterparts, not scaled-up lady nords. you have to hike out to the more distant camps to find them, iirc, but that’s part of the fun

friendly giants (and mammoths): makes giants unaggressive towards the player unless attacked outright. sometimes they’ll even run over and help you out in a fight. great for lore purposes—i play a researcher who’s friendly with several giant clans—or for players who just want to hang out with giants. who doesn’t

scarified dark elves: adds decorative scar patterns to dunmer models (like in morrowind). you can either apply it to your character alone, or to all the dunmer in the game

redguard fashion: modder’s resource that adds several yoku outfits to the game. noteworthy for including the biggest, fluffiest gloves i’ve ever seen—perfect for redguard characters who miss home, but still want to stay warm and toasty

falmer companion gleeb: adds a falmer follower to the game! his name is gleeb! i love him so much! you will love him so much!

player headtracking: rather than staring blankly ahead all the time, your character will turn their head to look at npcs within a certain range. depending on your character’s relationship with that npc, they’ll also smile or frown at each other! an absolutely essential download, if only so your character can smile at gleeb

bigger trees: scales up all the trees! forests are dense and gorgeous with this mod installed

fallen trees: adds fallen trees to strategic locations around skyrim. some of them span cliffs and rivers, which is fun—instead of wading through the water, you can (very carefully) edge across on the tree

bent pines: adds a gorgeous new tree model to the game. yes, i do like trees. why do you ask

supreme and volumetric fog: i like fog, too. if you hate being able to see your hand in front of your face, this is the mod for you. it really is Supreme and Volumetric

the bottomless pit: probably not lore-compliant but i’m including it anyway. this is my favorite quest mod because of how different it is—you navigate the dungeon (a bottomless pit) entirely by falling. it is extremely challenging. you will die. you will die a lot. but you’ll definitely feel as though you’ve earned the prize at the end

winterhold bridge repair: fixes the college’s crumbling bridge, rendering it infinitely less dangerous. my archmage held me at staff-point until i downloaded this

none of these will eat your framerate, jiggle a boob, or crash the game. go forth and download gleeb immediately

bearfeathers

adding bury your dead.

look, sometimes i just want to give someone an honorable burial. other times i’m just sick of seeing the corpse every time i pass through town. so bury your dead! this puts them in a grave with a little headstone, nice and proper like.

Mass Effect: Legendary Edition (MET remaster) CONFIRMED

A new Mass Effect game is also noted to be in development.

Full BioWare Blog update text:

It’s tough keeping a big secret (and we really struggled to keep this one a surprise) but now it’s official: today we announced the Mass Effect Legendary Edition! We’ve heard (for years!) your requests for a Mass Effect remaster, so we’re super happy to finally reveal that we’ve been working on a remastered edition of the Mass Effect trilogy.

For many months now, our team at BioWare has been hard at work updating the textures, shaders, models, effects, and technical features of three enormous games. Our goal was not to remake or reimagine the original games, but to modernize the experience so that fans and new players can experience the original work in its best possible form. It’s been amazing to see the adventures of Commander Shepard take on new life in super-sharp resolution, faster framerates, and beautiful visual enhancements. As game developers, we always hope that our games will transcend their original platforms. Having the opportunity to remaster the trilogy means that the fruits of a decade of our work will live on, and will be experienced better and clearer than ever before.

Mass Effect Legendary Edition will include single-player base content and DLC from Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2, and Mass Effect 3, plus promo weapons, armors, and packs – all remastered and optimized for 4k Ultra HD. It will be available in Spring 2021 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC, with forward compatibility and targeted enhancements on Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5. More information to come in the new year!

Meanwhile here at BioWare, a veteran team has been hard at work envisioning the next chapter of the Mass Effect universe. We are in early stages on the project and can’t say any more just yet, but we’re looking forward to sharing our vision for where we’ll be going next.

For me personally, Mass Effect represents years of work and countless special memories, so every year I feel incredibly fortunate to celebrate N7 Day with players around the world. Thank you so much for supporting us over the years. I can’t wait to continue our adventure together – revisiting our favorite memories in the Mass Effect universe, and creating brand new ones!

You’re a daycare worker, watching over toddlers, when the imminent end of the world is announced. It becomes increasingly clear none of the kids’ parents are going to show up as the end inches nearer.

[Audio starts]

“Mom has been texting me for the last twenty minutes. She wants me to come home. It’s a four hour drive, when the roads are clear, and from what I hear everybody is trying to get somewhere right now. There’s no telling if I’d even-”

“Everybody else has left. All the other kids were picked up, the other staff left. They gave me all the keys. I promised to stay and wait for as long as- well. Even if some of the parents show up, I guess some of them won’t, so I’m just waiting. Until.”

[Clears throat.]

“A couple of people came after everybody left. Peter, one of Aidan’s fathers, gave me three hundred dollars for staying. What am I going to do with money? It’s- anyway. I kind of get it. He wanted to give me something.”

[Audio ends]

[Audio starts]

“They’re all between 2 and 4.” Sniff. “They’re so little. Too little to really- maybe if they were older, I’d have to tell them something. But um. I’m just- trying to stay calm and keep them happy and occupied. I think that’s the best thing, right now.”

[Heaving breaths.]

“I normally use this recorder to help me remember stuff. It’s just, uh, habit to talk to it. I don’t know. They’re napping, right now. I’ve got the baby monitor, they know that if they talk into it, I’ll come, so-”

[Sobbing.]

[Audio ends]

[Audio starts]

“Mom keeps texting, so I blocked her. I sent her a text telling her goodbye, first, but. I do. But these kids need me.”

[Sniff.]

“I tried calling their parents again, but I can’t get anybody. It’s just busy signals. I called the firefighter station, 911. I can’t get through to anybody.”

[Shaky breath.]

“I went out into the yard. Um, I think they can play. It’s nice out, and you can’t really see it yet. Little bit of a glimmer, if they ask I’ll just tell them it’s a plane, but it’s nice out and we’ve got hours before-”

[Murmuring child’s voice, indistinguishable.]

[Audio ends]
