I would like to submit for kicks birthday: a spuding potato.

"I'mma plant it."

Yes. All sorts of neat stuff! One find sticks out more than the others, though.

You know I just realised Marie probably blames the mews for the birds death.

Marie: Who cares what you think?! Everyone else is useless and soft too!

Now that we’ve come back to the “for your own good arguement”

I can read some of these asks, they really are just abusive rhetoric stuff and I have to wounder if people realise how terrifying they sound

I really want to think up something nice for Cody to give them a break

i know right, holy cow, cody's askers get intense sometimes...

i think it is incredibly wild that cody will state what their wants and needs are, and certain players will be like, "but what if you're wrong actually? what if this is all your fault for being complacent with your trauma because you won't expose yourself to the things that traumatized you in the first place? what if we have to force you to conquer your fears against your will for you to be happy?"

as if violating the boundaries of the person who's forced to spend the rest of their life with you is in any way a good thing that they will ever forgive or thank you for, even if they DID somehow manage to accomplish what those players are asking them to do.

cody's ideal happy ending was just to spend their life with you, with complete trust that you would never hurt them or force them to do anything they didn't want to do, and that ending was violently taken away from them by people who wanted to hurt them. whether that desire to hurt them is out of pure sadistic malice, or some twisted idea of "the greater good", it doesn't make a difference to cody...

of course, i trust that these askers are just playing devil's advocate and the role of the antagonist for the sake of making a compelling story, and aren't truly abusive people in real life. i'm thankful for those askers, because they certainly accomplished that! this story wouldn't be what it is, without them.

that said, i would like to give cody a breather in the near future. it won't come without more drama first, though...

A presence is nearby, though keeps it’s self hidden. “They don’t seem to really get it…”

“You have a lot of choices to make before you. Things to decide now, maybe even later? But people seem to forget that acceptance is never a flat thing. It is always in degrees. Do you accept what Lucky did? Do you accept that the fear incarnate is different?”

There is a small pause. “Even these are not simple yes or no questions…”

There is a gathering of shadow, then it bleeds away to reveal and earthen jug. “My… master says drinking gives him perspective, the ability to face his past. I do not accept that. Perhaps you can put this sake to better use. Though if you do. Maybe find someone to enjoy the night with? I do hope you come to a satisfying conclusion.

"While I appreciate the advice, I think you should remember that offering alcohol to someone has safety requirements you need to keep in mind."

"Take it back. Next time, sealed bottle. And show your face."

Oh I missed a lot

Oh god a lot happened

That really does look like dedede planed this,

But something tells me from Gengar’s reaction it wasn’t meant to quite go like this

Hhhhh and the thing in the water

Was that an evo stone? That could be soooo bad

Hehe, it's true, many things have happened! And it could be bad...

Goddess looks up towards the sky and closes her eyes Goddess: I am faithful that he will understand in the end... About this situation anyways... Goddess: I do not fear what comes next. Whether it’s a punishment or not.. It is out of my hands. So why should I worry? - - - - - - - - - - - [ @pocketden ]
