If I don't draw the self-indulgent stuff then who will?
[ID: The Simpson’s meme of Marge, Bart, and Lisa in the car, with Marge saying, “Kids, can you lighten up a little?”, edited so that Marge has been replaced with a person with medium length, disheveled hair that is mostly light brown, but has patches of very dark blonde mixed in, bright orange-red wounds crisscrossing their neck and lower face, and tattered clothes that are black on one side, and blue and white striped on the other. Their eyes are filled with white static as they glance over their shoulder.
Bart and Lisa have been replaced with a little monster with no eyes, and a mouth filled with sharp teeth, mostly closed at the moment like it has been interrupted. The creature is filled with the same static as the person’s eyes.
The person is saying, “Kid, can you lighten up a little?” End ID.]
Bonus of what it actually “looks” like:
[ID: The same image as above, but now only showing the person and the dialogue. The rest of the image has been replaced with the same white static as filled the creature, and still fills the person’s eyes. End ID.]
Let's bring up the mood a lil! | Virgo | Re: everyone basically
A...lot is coming out at once and honestly? She has no clue how to respond to any of it. She feels for both Mason and Leo, she really does, and she can only hope her worry for them can get across. She holds both her hands to her chest, watching Aquarius attempt to comfort Leo, watching as everyone tries to settle down Mason.
She nods to Libra's take on the situation. It's plain awful. She hates having to be afraid of anyone here when really, none of them would be this fearful in real life. Had they all met in some other circumstance, she's sure they would all get along without jumping at each other's necks. She frowns watching him cry and reaches over to lightly pat his shoulder, not wanting to overstep into his boundaries if he doesn't want it.
"Team Equinox or Solstice, we're all living beings, it's completely unfair that we're being pit against each other like this, and so unevenly. I want to hope that my own accusations never came across as villainizing, but this time I was on the opposite side of that, I can't vouch for how people hear me. I want to think at least some of us are going about this in a more...mathematical way as I am attempting to do. Finding things that add up to get an answer, not to burn someone at the stake."
Though she already knows that's not entirely the case. She knows there are people who just wanted to make sure /they/ got out, and she really can't blame them in that case either. Playing this game on the offensive is the smarter way to go, and she really can't say that she's been playing like that. If she gets caught up in someone else's offensive, well...anyone could, she didn't expect to not get caught up with that.
"I still take no offense from that, Scorpio, I appreciate the apology but I have already forgiven you. If I were to think no one would come after me, well I would just be quite dense, wouldn't I? You did what you needed to do. If that took me out, whatever team you are on, then that's because that's how things were meant to be."
Not the exact wording she meant, but she thinks she got the idea across anyways.
"We...should hold off from doing anything this week, I agree with Pisces, especially after all of this I think we could all use at the least another week to gather our thoughts. Let us all have extra time to live, no matter what team comes out of this at the end...Our last memory together like this shouldn't be so despairing."
She clasps her hands together, an idea hitting her.
"We should have another party maybe? That would be a fun memory to have?"
Embrace a brand new depression | Capricorn | re: lol everything so far
After listening… Capricorn’s so tired.
“I’ve been trying to hunt for information about Equinox for a while now… After the first fail, I’ve had my suspicions, then the discussion prior to the skip in the fifth week only helped further my suspicions to all four members of Equinox. But part of me knew Equinox would try everything to undermine my credibility for a good while, to then pretend to be allied to us Solstice. Actually, I’m sure I know who the four Equinox members are now. After everything? I’m sick of the innocent front, I’m sick of the lies. I’m sick of being doubted. Yet… In a way, I understand why. It’s impossible for one human being to be absolutely in the right, it’s normal to have doubt… I’m just… Everything I try to help Solstice and discover Equinox, only to be spat on the face after all. Hah.“
He sighed. Seems like it’s time to call them out.
“Anyway, my suspicions for the Equinox team are Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius. If we weren’t in this fucking stupid game, I’d gladly still get along with the two of you there but... Aquarius, I wish I could back you up, I really, really do. But you seem keen to insist on Scorpio’s innocence and while I get your reasoning with Pisces, as it’s fair... Frankly, you defending Scorpio plenty and including her in the team suggestions without any solid reason as to why she could be absolutely trusted to be a Solstice member doesn’t help your case… It’s unrelated to Scorpio now, but you won’t stop making me feel guilty about a certain someone outside of the game. I’ll be honest with you: she doesn’t deserve the life she has been given and she deserves so much better, and I want to help you two so much but… I can’t help but doubt your sincerity to help me in return in case I eat shit. However, I understand why you’d look for information in order to try to stay alive, that isn’t negotiable, us people are trying to survive after all and you’re not different. And it’s sad to say, but Scorpio, I now am sure after all that you’re the one who threw Cancer under the bus on the fourth mission anyway so people would doubt him and then you went back to pretend to be our ally by being vaguely ‘helpful’, pushing yourself on the team last time before as well to then change your stance this week is very strange to say the least. Taurus may have lied once officially, but I wouldn’t put it past them to also give information they found to their fellow Equinox members while they conveniently made it very hard to find information about themself in particular so all the team’s personal info wouldn’t immediately be found out that easily... I was told they're not the only one, Scorpio's information was challenging to find as well! And Leo was very insistent on being on a mission as Virgo pointed out last time and he wanted it to happen no matter what, which makes it quite suspicious. I’m done pretending to doubt my reasoning anymore. I’ve opened my mind to the possibilities of anyone else being in Equinox, I’ve thought about it for a long time, but you four simply have the strongest correlation to being in that team.”
There was a tinge of genuine sadness in his voice. But he’s done holding back. And he's ready to be roasted or be backed up. Whichever happens.
Scaling Back | Stardrop Selection
Nella lets out a soft yawn, stretching out stiff muscles in her arms, before she announced the results to everyone.
“Weeeell, we have our votes. This team won’t be able to go onto the mission. Usually, we’d have another leader to make a new pick, buuuut we’re all out of time tonight. So, consider this mission a skip. We’ll meet again next week... I think? Don’t forget the scores. It’s... mm.... tied with two wins each.”
Well, this selection sure was a lot to take in. For now, you have a new day to greet, and your next steps await you then.

Top five fluffy cow hints | Taurus | Re: Solictice, Aries
Finish things now or deal with a week long slowburn of everyone knowing who they are and another trial of people pointing fingers. Maybe, just maybe it could be better now that they confessed on behalf of the team.
How they vote will show their answer. Still, a party would sound nice….
It’s getting to the truth that’s a huge pain in the rear.
“Don’t uh, start thanking us yet. If you’re that insistent on skipping this still for …whatever reason, then that’s fine. Equinox is special, and outside of what you all know, some aspects of our lives parallel each other. I’d…rather not go into it unless I get permission or you wanna hear it now now-” Since it’s still someone’s life they’re talking about. Since half the team has given the ok, they don’t want to jump on ahead and assume the same for the remaining two. “…Just uh, to start with if we get out here is that Aries and I are pretty similar in terms of where we first came from. Animals are different, but still same ol’ home start.” …. Animals??
Whatever small relief they have over Leo joining them in admission breaks as soon as Aries speaks up. They jump back a bit as the podium gets hit, holding their hands up in a show of mercy. “H-Hey now! No need for violence! I’d of told you before all this if we weren’t all busy! N-No hard feelings?” A pause as they swallow and raise their arms down. “…But I refuse to let Libra die. That’s all there is to it.”
