Hi, I'm Kal (they/ve/it)!
I'm really into Cookie Run Kingdom, Deltarune, and Pokemon at the moment! I am currently working on an au for CRK actually :D
My blog is currently kind of a mess; as I continue to post more I'll add the tags I primarily use up here!
#defying fate au is my crk swap au! It's swapping Truthless Recluse with Adlib and Sage of Truth with Viri. The au intro post is linked here.
Also heads up, I am very CRK critical, so be warned!

I always thought it was really weird and funny that in the LO finale, after the 3 months later time card, Hades looks so down in the dumps even though it's the day his wife is returning from the Mortal Realm and he should be excited and jumping for joy. So I came up with an explanation that suits his stank ass.
I ship shadowvanilla but only episode 7-8 shadowvanilla. I don't ship whatever the Hell is going on right now
Sorry to ryland but this is a historic derby right now

A guilty pleasure of mine is time loops, as a concept. I think they're a wonderful, fantastic plot device that is horrific and horribly traumatizing to those in one (see In Stars and Time and Groundhog Day [at least if I'm remembering that movie correctly]). They can end being something horribly traumatizing, but also beautiful and hopeful (see Slay the Princess and also ISAT again).
Anyways, I'm not here to talk about why I like time loops so much, but more what format I think they're best in. Obviously, any sort of story is a time loop, in a way, but I am referring to the plot device, not stories being circular from reexperiecing them again.
In my opinion (opinion warning), videos games are the best format for a time loop story to take place in because of the gameplay loop. Inherently, games tend to have the same sort of mechanics over and over again. In Pokémon, you can use one of your six pokémon on your team and you can choose from four moves to attack another pokémon. In Rain World, you are trying to get to the next shelter before the cycle is up, and you have to avoid various enemies and find food.
The mechanical gameplay loop is why I think time loops work best in video games. You're already doing the same thing over and over again, normally just with different objectives, like bosses you need to beat or crops you have to harvest tomorrow to make enough money for a house upgrade. Now you're seeing the same dialogue, same scenes, and you have to use the loops to complete objectives that may take multiple loops to set up.
Slay the Princess starts with "You're on a path, in the woods" everytime. I skip it a lot of the time. In Stars and Time starts jumping loops, so at one moment, you're at loop 79, the next at 83, even though you did not do four additional loops.
Video games are just able to add that extra layer of monotony, of memory slippage that would genuinely happen if you were constantly looping everytime you died. (A proper, finished STP run means you loop somewhere around 15 times, could be more or less depending on whether you get to each vessels' Chapter 3... and some other factors. ISAT normally takes a significant amount of loops in order to finish the game.) Video games have a wonderful way of adding that layer of horror of you forgetting or getting angry seeing the same things over and over again, at seeing the same lines you used to laugh at. Movies can also get it across, but again, they don't have that gameplay loop that just adds the cherry on top.
Any timeloop media is a treat to see, so obviously I'm not policing anyone, but it's my personal opinion. I'd like to start making my own time loop visual novel at some point!
Best friend!
cats always step precisely on your most sensitive areas when theyre crawling on you lovingly for cuddles. bladder dick ovaries boobs stomach bruise it doesnt matter. they have homing devices on their paws for the exact area you’re most tender at the moment and they put their full weight into that step. and sometimes they might keep their stance midstride so theyre just standing there forever forcing you to endure the pain. because they are simply too cute to get mad at
wearing two cursed amulets to manipulate them into competing with each other for ownership of my soul and unintentionally improving my life in their attempts to seduce me
hiring two duplicitous advisors with opposing agendas to manipulate them into hatefucking each other in front of me while i fujo out about it
it's not a "love triangle" it's a business opportunity with benefits
anti abortion propaganda that tries to like scare you into feeling guilty by reminding you that the fetus has body parts are so funny. "uwu please don't abort me I have eyes at 4 weeks old 🥺" nice try sucker I don't care if you see it coming
getting lost in boston is fun because I turned around on a street corner three times and some guy yelled "hey stupid! the bus is that way!" very helpful interaction and accurate insult, 10/10 no notes
one time I walked around a building a couple times looking for a bathroom and this guy went "this bitch thinks she's on a merrygoround, where the fuck are you tryna go? bathroom? one floor down to the right behind the door that says bathroom."
My very first time in Boston. I was absolutely miserable, trying to drag my giant suitcase up a lengthy set of stairs in the pouring rain. This guy who had already reached the top looked back at me with the most pure expression of disgust I’ve ever seen in anyone’s eyes, marched back down the stairs, grabbed my suitcase, carried it to the top, left it there for me, and walked away without ever saying a word. I think about him often.
For the people in the notes going "why is Boston like this": a) the insults are a way to show you have no ulterior motives when helping someone (and don't need to be thanked or repaid), and b) Boston was settled by the Irish
also the Italians. mixing Irish and Italian sociocultural attitudes had the effect of multiplying the Sass Levels by the power of infinity, in the sense that you get all of the clever dry wit of the Irish and all of the bitchy gossipy condensation of the Italians rolled into one very stereotypically overly-friendly American package.
also worth noting that who you are to them doesn’t matter. they’ll talk to strangers like that and will also talk to their best friends like that. they’re just Like That.
