MaDD Sideblog || Chitter xe/xir (it/its) ~30 || Combining my need to log the things I watch with my need to have funny voices in my brain || runs on a queue for self conscious reasons || Minors please shoo
Found this in drafts from the start of the year x_x
Updated it to be current but tbh, between Daydream Blocks, false starts and continuing attempts to be a functional person(tm), everything is going so so slowly _._
Oceans Apart
So so so many snippets of OA!Shal getting forcibly taken care of. Something something daydreaming reflecting the thing needed in reality x_x
It has also learned the joy of watching TV with OA!Shiny because sometimes an Antagonist will talk in it's language.
OA!Shiny meanwhile has come to the conclusion that training OA!Shal and then showing it off to her friends is a worthwhile goal. No this will not include a professional trainer.
Also a factory worker is trying to contact OA!Captain regarding worker safety/efficency ideas. No clue what that is about, but that scene was on repeat for a while so... *shrug*
[A big problem I have with this storyline is that everytime I find media/ideas that would fit thematically to progress the story, I then have to translate that into an alien society and uuuuuurgh. Someone force me to sit down and do a proper worldbuilding document for this]
Unused Words
Cw: domestic abuse mention;
Strange times where these people are honest to each other. Alas they are dealing with those honesties in terrible ways. Gotta stay on brand!
UW!Captain knows that UW!Shal is being blackmailed by xyr "Brother" Slate, yet finds this mostly amusing and ok to go on as long as xe gets regular updates. Cause their "Father" has finally decided that xe's to old for this shit, so we now have a Crimelord Succession war going on in the background.
UW!Navika (hey look, Captain's twin got a name!) has made it clear to UW!Captain that yin knows about the Domestic Abuse happening. Yet only just to remind xym that yin is gonna kill xym personally if another unplanned corpse turns up near xym.
Talliv decided to put his fate in UW!Captain's hand by coming clean about being a police informant. Which is why the entire core group is now on a improptu Swamp Cabin Vacation while they figure out what to do with this info.
This coming right after they have finally set up an international drug smuggling route via public passenger trains. Like Talliv really though being honest at the fucking afterparty would be in any way helpful. UW!Captain has been understandably furious about this whole thing and you may now take a wild guess who xe is taking that anger out on :/
[Unused Words is also the easiest to plug and play temporary obsessions into, which has led to so many false starts. Which are fun for me, but also don't progress the story]
Hunting Grounds
One thing I've noticed about this storyline is that it kinda functions like....binge dreaming. Whenever I figure out the next deathgame I am gone for however long it takes to daydream the whole thing through. Which is not ok. But I also love it.
This has led to me forcibly putting off daydreaming this story cause it really conflicts with my attempts to be a functional human(tm). Which sucks cause I really love this world and the alternate takes on my Blorbos it has produced. I haven't fully figured out how to deal with that.
Anyway, the last game I finished was "Couple's Concert"
Players: 6, paired into 3 rooms
Place: Entirely closed off Dorm like structure + adjacent Concert stage; Furnishing inlcudes some objects referencing games the players had been in before; Kitchen restock every other day;
Goal: Perform a daily Concert for 2 weeks, based on a prompt every morning; Performances get scored;
Twist: 1 of each couple has a secret goal (Specific Rankings; Key that goes nowhere; sabotage performances;)
Notable moments:
) HG!Acid is part of the Games now which lead to very funny scenes of him and HG!Shal pretending really hard that this is the first time they have met. Meanwhile HG!Captain has already connected the dots due to them sharing some very specific gestures.
) They all revealed their secret goals and came to the group decision to only focus on the Performance rankings cause that Player would only need one more win to leave the Games entirely after this one.
) Kinda betraying that, HG!Captain figured out where HG!Shals key lead to and locked em into a hidden room. Xe participated a couple more days, letting HG!Shals intense claustrophobia take it's course, before also leaving. Which triggered another hidden door leading them outside the game space.
And that's how they both ended up being chained to opposite walls where they have just been yellin at each other for a while now oO
In the neverending Quest of "What the fuck is your Fursona?": Highly considering that HG!Meth was a Snow Leopard. Not for any symbolic reasons but cause him taxidermying his tail into a Boa after it had to be amputated for Hygiene reasons would be really funny!
And then HG!Shal could take it with em when ey moved out and cuddle up with it whenever ey felt like shit

Nothing’s more humiliating than watching a movie and instead of authentically enjoying it, you’re constantly saying in your head “hey this one specific scene is so cool, the music, the cinematography, the character direction, but how is this going to fit exactly into my paracosm? and then thinking about how the whole movie is going to fit into your stupid ass fantasy world instead of just watching the movie.
I hate how maladaptive daydreaming can become a disorder you grow to love. It slowly takes over your life until it becomes the only thing you lean on, yet it feels like a comforting, warm hug.
The amount of time I spend imagining and re-imagining made up scenarios in my head is unhealthy.
"Oh it must be so hard not having any close friends to confided in when you're having a bad time"
You underestimate how pacing around my room while listening to music and talking to myself has been more effective then anything else I have attempted to do.
Concept: Instead of a Murder Cabin, Hunting Grounds features a Murder Bar and also this snap decision has nothing to do with a really shit French Movie I watched yesterday....
Slightly running into incentive/group dynamic problems but seriously, fuck that stupid movie. Go watch "El Bar" (2017)
While I'm already here throwing out totally thought out ideas...
Concept: Since OA!Shiny has come to the conclusion that teaching OA!Shal some basic commands would be useful and I have picked up doing vocab practices again, there's gotta be a way to combine these =.=

tuning into my bedtime daydream narrative like it's my nightly tv show but the twist is that ive been replaying the same scene in my head for 7 whole nights because i havent been satisfied with the way it's going so i wont let myself move on to the next part
The top picture is at least meant to be scene from the canon narrative where Horrance is being chased down after finally being caught.
We currently don't remember what prompts her, and it's too late to go digging through our notes, but a SWer by the name of Eileen goes to the police to report a man she thinks is suspect. The police run an... ad? and police sketch ... through the paper, detailing the Midnight Prowler's unique scarring. Steffani goes to the police to say the man who watches her child lowkey highkey has that same unique scarring... and his name is Horrance Hargrave.
The bottom picture is just Horrance being our Blorbo. Anatomy and posing practice with Blorbo. Our focus in the story definitely shifted at this point LMAO XD
