Woah I was tagged for something else?? Insane. But this is so fun ! Thank youuu @susanssarandon
Okay, three songs on repeat!!
This is so good and I need the mastered version immediately !! Paramore has a way cutting into my soul in the most brutally honest way. But not mad about it.
“Do you ever feel so alone, that you could implode, and no one would know?”
Um yes? Why are you bringing this to light?? Hello?? You think I can actually handle this?? Absolutely not. But so good. So so so good. Like, sooooo good.
I’m going to be so honest and say that I’ve tried to avoid Midnights since my first few listens, because it just put me in a really dark headspace, you know? I loved the songs, but I just felt way too exposed and shadowed after. Does that make sense?? Anyway! I have returned. I think something about being in a city makes me want to feel moodier and misunderstood, like armor as I walk amongst hundreds of people. It’s a bit spiky, but makes me feel a bit safe. Does this make sense? Perhaps not!
I know this one isn’t a deep track by any means, but it just hits so close to home. Umm “starved my body like I’d be saved by the perfect kiss”. Ow! Just ow. I don’t need that reminder. But! Then it’s like, yeah, you’re on your own kid. And at the end it culminates in but you can face this!!! Holy cow. Emotions! But really, it’s haunting and empowering and terrifying and sobering all at once. Taylor Taylor Taylor what are you doing to me!!!
@hecatesbroom @whispersforher @silkconfessions @foreversilenthere please?? I must know what you’re listening to !!!
YOU SHOULD START A GARDEN. THIS IS YOUR SIGN RIGHT NOW TO START A GARDEN IF YOU'RE ABLE TO. YOU DONT THINK YOU NEED A GARDEN AND GARDENING ONLY SOUNDS LIKE A HOBBY FOR BORING TROLLS UNTIL SUDDENLY THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WAY FOR YOU TO GO TO THE STORE AND NO ONE WILL DELIVER TO YOUR AREA!!! ASK FOR ADVICE ON STARTING ONE IF YOU NEED IT BUT YOU PROBABLY DO NEED A GARDEN MORE THAN YOU THINK YOU DO
Jack had a long day after session 10.... Sammy’s gonna let him sleep.
[batim call of cthulhu masterpost]
(and a bunch of out of context quotes under the cut!)
[Sammy is played by me, Joey is played by Boo (inkyvendingmachine), Henry is played by Maf (inkcryptid), Jack is played by Mochi (whatyouwantedmetosee) and Thren (haunted-hijinxer) is our GM!]
[Sammy] Despite last session being PRIMARILY planning, we do not actually have a plan!!!
[Joey] How quickly... can Joey Drew learn... a time control spell... so that we can try ONE of our plans, and if it doesn't work, we can just go back in time and--
[Sammy] Joey, don't-- don't start that, Joey. That's not going to end well.
[Joey] IT WORKED BEFORE!
[Sammy] YEAH, I KNOW, but I think it's a bad plan! You're gonna have, freakin, "This cartoon didn't do as well I wanted, let's back up! Let's back up, and see if we can make some small changes! BENDY MUST BE PERFECT!"
[Joey] This is how Sillyvision actually comes about!
[GM] Are you saying... are you saying you aren't comfortable with Joey Drew trying to loop time?
[Sammy] YES! That is what I'm saying! I don't think that should happen, I think that will end poorly for those of us who have to participate in Time!
[Sammy] Sammy would not be against bringing it up, but if Jack's like "UH I don't even know if that's possible for me to do, I did it by accident" then he won't, like, push.
[Joey] Joey's not going to push, but he's going to be very supportive that you can do anything you set your mind to!
[Jack] Sammy has guns! Just not those ones.
[Sammy] Correct. Yes.
[Joey] Prophet did not seem affected by it, at all.
[Sammy] *sarcastic laugh* Alright. Fantastic!
[Joey] So, I guess I'm letting you know this, not just if you accidentally come across some paint, but if you find yourself having trouble dealing with things, you might be able to use that--
[Sammy] Sammy is GLARING.
[Jack] Jack is also giving Joey a look at this! "If you're having trouble, just try drugging yourself!" That sure is, a coping mechanism!
[GM, speaking for Bendy] He does think the Prophet can be a little overzealous, but he's definitely good at getting stuff done! Maybe not the best stuff, but... stuff!
[Sammy] Are you sure? He's been trying to sacrifice somebody to the Masked Messenger for like, a year, and it hasn't been working!
[Joey] He could've started trying to fall asleep on the drive over!
[Jack] Yeah but then he's going to end up astral projecting on the road! Halfway there! Just watching his body drive away!
[Jack] He's technically gotten the information he was looking for, which is: there are still people in the building, not very many,... He also gained the information: more than Moonlight can see people who are astral projecting,... he gained: Pain,
[Jack] All in all I think this was a successful trip!
[Sammy] I'm just so pleased that Sammy is foiling Moonlight all over the place, and generally being very obnoxiously in the way, and Sammy can't even come out that much.
[Sammy] Like, he's only existed in his Prophet Form like three or four times! If he could be here as much as Moonlight is here, he would-- tHE MASKED MESSENGER WOULD BE HERE ALREADY.
[GM] *laughs* The only thing holding him back.
[Sammy] Yes. The only thing holding him back: sometimes he turns into a much more reasonable person.
[Sammy] (Sorry for being so enthusiastic about this, but I'm really enthusiastic about this.)
[Joey] Now that he has a description of the kinds of runes, does Joey know any way to disrupt it?
[Henry] I know of a way to disrupt it.
[Jack] Last time Henry tried to disrupt something he actually strengthened it, so,
[Henry] Okay but this--! But-- okay, yeah, point taken.
[Henry] Basically what happened is, I smeared my blood on one of the symbols--
[Sammy] WHY
[Sammy] You could write "found this," or, if you have room--
[Joey] "We know how to get your family"
[Sammy] Y-, mm, that sounds, a little bit ransom-note-y,
[Jack] "Place $1000 1 Slick Stone in an unmarked package under the third tree if you want to see your family again"
[Sammy] I think you mean 75 dollars
[GM] Norman is picking through the room; he does find a freaky bone whistle thing, and a weird cold crystal, and some chalk, and a blooodyyyy knife??? Question mark???
[Joey] Well, might as well grab that,
[Henry] Yeah, Henry wants that back!
[GM] --and a jar with yellow paint in it--
[Joey] ...you can leave the jar with yellow paint in it.
[Jack] But the Prophet wants that back!
[GM] He does pretty quickly go "Hey, I know this model!" and some tinkering noises ensue.
[Joey] Okay, yeah, take that too!
[GM] "I... I can't carry this," he says, "not without a handcart."
[Joey] I mean, if he---.... wait, what.
[Sammy] (Projector.)
[Joey] OH I thought he found the gun. I forgot there was a projector in there.
[Joey] Norman, focus!
[Sammy] If Joey would take it, go for it.
[Joey] Joey is more interested in Moonlight's stuff than Fowler's stuff. He's trying to get Fowler on their side.
[Jack] As a counterpoint, I, personally, as a player, am very curious!
[Henry] Moonlight and Sammy play duelling banjos at each other.
[Sammy] That hasn't been written yet, they can't!
[Henry] Moonlight and Sammy accidentally invent duelling banjos.
[Joey] Okay, Joey's going to continue to hide in the closet.
[Henry] Didn't we say we were going to flicker the lights when we got up to this room?
[Joey] Oh yeah. Joey said he was going to do that but he's... not going in there.
[Henry] He's not out of the closet yet.
[GM] Norman got a very good mechanical roll and gets the set-up going quite promptly!
[Joey] We should hire this guy!
[GM] No, it doesn't look like it helps Jack.
[Sammy] No healing for Jack :(
[Joey] No healing in Wonderland.
(several players start yelling)
[Sammy] And now we've discovered everyone in this group who has listened to The Adventure Zone!
[GM] Norman probably makes a joke about "Oh, so you do sleep!"
[Joey] When we can.
[Sammy] Not often.
[Jack] *laughs* Animation, amiright?
[Jack] Anyway, so do you wanna work for us?
[Jack] Jack's just getting all of the insanities.
[Joey] I want some too! Stop hogging them!!!
[Sammy] So has this just all... come to you?
[Henry] Some of it!
[Sammy] *narrows eyes*
[Henry] Some of it I know what I'm doing! I can use my blood in runes and stuff, but other stuff like blasting the angel, that just... happened.
[Sammy] You're as bad as Joey.
[Henry] (He looks a bit sheepish at that.) Honestly? I didn’t tell you because I didn’t want to get told off.
[Sammy] Not sure I have the energy tonight. Let’s rain check on that.
[Sammy] *suspicious* Are you alright in there?
[Bendy] Joey did somethin' dumb, but I think we're okay!
[Joey] You didn't need to tell him that.
[Bendy] Well, we are okay, right? Henry was doin' this yesterday and he's okay!
[Sammy] ...what
[Henry] What?
[Joey] DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT!
[Bendy] It's okay when it's just a little, right?
[Sammy] WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
[Joey] I found a cool rock...
[Sammy] BENDY, WHAT IS HE DOING
[Bendy] Washin' blood off his face!
[Sammy] Hm.
[Joey] (There's just the thunk of Joey letting his head hit the sink).
[Sammy] Sammy has decided not to ask any more questions.
[Sammy] I love the idea that Prophet's like SO LASER-FOCUSED on his hatred of Doc Moonlight, that that's all that Sammy can remember. They're summoning an elder god's avatar in the background and all Sammy can remember is BOY, I HATE THAT GUY!
[Sammy] I think he's going to focus on trying to remember as much as he can, because Joey's gonna give him the Joey version,
[GM] You can make another POW roll if he's trying to remember.
[Sammy] Oh.... *starting to roll dice* I don't know if you should do this, Sammy...
[Sammy] .....96. No.
[Jack] He fumbled,
[Joey] He fumbles and forgets more???
[GM] No, no, you remember the things you don't want t-- OKAY NOW YOU REMEMBER THE RITUAL!!!
[Sammy] OH!! GREAT!!!
[Henry] *coming back online after the session is done* I have something important to share! I got home and got on as quickly as possible to share!
[Sammy] Uh huh?
[Henry] I realised that Norman should ABSOLUTELY be having out of body experiences too. Because I mean. HE IS THE PROJECTIONIST!
[Joey and Jack] *start laUGHING HYSTERICALLY*
[Sammy] Oh My Gosh
[Jack] I can't believe that Jack's next Astral Projection Dream is going on a date with Norman. Add to the boyfriend collection!
[Sammy] When do I get to astral projection dream date Jack???
[Jack] You were busy astral projection dream dating Joey!
[Sammy] Yeah, he looked nothing like his profile picture.
