TEAKWOOD

YOU SON OF A BITCH

i only just now looked up what ᾰ̓́σῡλον was lmao

is all this greek shit in the OST just random bible passages

hahahahahahahahha

really hope that track is just Sanctuary, But Slightly More Jazzy And With The Ancients Crackle

it’s the omniclast’s sanctuary

it’s LITERALLY Aurelius tou Asilos! It’s in his name

smh it’s like you can’t read the greek alphabet

yeah who do you think built it

aury did

what if

Aury

is the architect??????

if they wanted me to be able to read their language they should have used latin letters like everyone else

hahahah

yeah ice but have you figured out that The Signal song is going to decode into Πότε ἐπελεύσεται τελείως? yet?

:thinkfish:

good luck translating that fucking verb

google with Not help you

google went “oh you mean this phrase from the greek version of the bible???” and i went “… HONESTLY PROBABLY???”

asoidfjkasl;dfjasld;fj

I mean teak is using koine greek like a heathen (which is biblical greek)

: “Savior of the Dreaming World” is going to just be Jesus

this is how we find out teak’s become a born again christian

noooo if teak goes xtian they’ve got to at least be a weird jesuit

very excited to watch salme interrogate jesus about his wearabouts on the night of the last saturday of march

: “how do they calculate passover in the world of sanctuary teak”

guess: it’s a SQ song

:P

Awa song then

god Salme’s next deranged sidequest is like “okay. so we have to build an ark”

: glances at the airship in zaedulf’s lab

powered by Salme anxiously pacing on a giant hamster wheel

problem solved

does look like we’re gunna be on valais for the end of the world again tho

is this another BF resonance?

teakgestaltwissen

uh-oh

UH-OH

REMEMEBER WHAT HAPPENED TO HER PRINCE THO,

???

(told you prince was a cursed title)

(Prince) Radmirr was the guy what had to die to break the timeloop

O-oops

Wait

Does this mean Salme should be courting the aggressive woman in her life instead?

for the sake of the World?

hahah

<salme> [solemnly] “I must break up with both of you and fuck SQ, for it has been foretold that is how we break the timeloop. Also, Awa, we’re going to throw you off a cliff”

’no, you don’t understand, i don’t have a crush on jae i just have to aggressive make out with her to save the world and - wait come back’

I feel like Awa would be chill with that as long as he got to watch

probably wouldn’t fly with Aury, no, though

haha

: “Let’s all have a fivesome with Zaya and Jae before we ritually sacrifice Awa to Save The World because Lore from a past world Demands It”

hahahahahaha

Awa might not understand but Poel seems like he might?

<poel> I’ve seen this dance before

(Jae gives “aggressive” and Zaya gives “lesbian” so together they equal out to Leilani. ez)

(Do I know shit about Leilani other than “aggressive lesbian” and “made Hachi’s and Teak’s life hell”? nope!)

okay salme-aury-awa 3-way accidental bodyswap, what’s the funniest combo

looooooool

god

that order but moved to the right tbh

I was gonna say that yeah

salme -> aury

aury -> awoken

awoken -> salme

salme gets to be Tall. aury gets to experience Twinkdom. awa gets to [redacted] [redacted] [redacted]. Checks out.

awa gets to add radical events to the legacy of the sword saints

sadjfoipajesfopiewjfpoasf

oh god

salme like “is this how being a spoken wood feels like???????????????”

soduifasl;dkfj;sl

awa like “nbd”

oh that does remind me tho teak, at Some Point I still wanna go explore the ruins……………… (unless there’s nothing of interest there i guess, as fun as forcing you to physically describe them might be)

hahah

bet there’s something there if you go there

: “Text and Textile” I see we’re at Peak Word Pervert here

Sometimes you’re a Suffering Pervert

I just thought I’d been mispelling the word my entire life

SORRY forgot a wholeass fucking WORD

r->l then l->r and back again, that’s deranged

judgy D:

judgin the shit out of the ancients

:D

I actually didn’t pre-pick out poems for each but I guess this is what’s happening

and

that one has been living with me a While (Olen Tuli reminds me of it actually)

:D :D :D

huh weird why did it change tabs on its own

runner-up liminal poem: https://www.tumblr.com/insilverrolled/791999265147912192

oh no problem I am Taking My Sweet Time

finally done though

holy shit

that’s so fucking cool

mildly curious what a pass would have done if that’s the failure lol

that’s a pass? I used arete to hit the DC

oh i somehow read that as you gaining an arete, and was very confused WHY you didn’t spend one considering how many you had,

OH yeah no

TY teak for setting the DC where I could have passed even if I nat 1’d

CONSUME

why are you eating a bowl of rice at 3 AM

I was going to say I eat rice at 3am all the time but then realized I’m a bad example of … Normal Diurnal Behavior

(also happy to wind this down/off ramp. I got precisely what I wanted, just having them chat for a couple lines)

GOD

scene?

that’s a perfect note

holy shitttt that description was SO COOL

also

updating a theory

irrica as … maybe the planes are trying to reunite and crashing into each other and harming each other in the process?

: shrug I’ll have to rotate

ice, what kind of play would Aurelius theoretically enjoy? Drama? Comedy? Weird absurdism? (no I am not going to write an Entire Play for us to sit through but I WOULD like to have an idea about what kind of play they go to and maybe have them talk about it)

uhhhh hmm that’s a good question

think on it?

I am (rotating) scenes to do with salme and aury because I want to do one between sessions but I’m at a bit of a loss since there’s nothing existentially pressing atm and I don’t think either of them are upset.

I kind of get the impression if he’s watching something people are performing is probably leans towards comedy?

(but also easy to imagine him being into more gritty drama type of shit if you could get him to read………………)

honestly we gotta invent audiobooks

D:

in another life he probably has a huge collection of gritty comics lol

like Frank Miller gritty or Garth Ennis gritty or …?

Or is he like an Alan Moore guy

which ones gets him judged less

(shockingly comics are not one of the nerd things i got into)

Alan Moore

you should ask Hachi to tell you about Garth Ennis sometime it’s. An experience.

I’m leaning toward “dark absurdist comedy” for a play, especially if Zaya recommends it? but I’ll see what teak comes up with

also why did you D: at my comment about audiobooks?

Salme would definitely enjoy audiobooks considering how often she’s On The Move

oh it just feels like that’d be like, worst aspects of involved things instead of a good compromise to him

oh?

is it the lack of immersion in the reading?

wait he said that nevermind

oh has that come up before??

from right after they fought scorpy q: “Don’t think I’m much for recreational reading, though a play every so often isn’t so bad? The actors and music help a bit.”

I just guessed “immersion” was what the issue was

ah

is that a correct guess or?

maybe?? couldn’t say way, just the feeling i get

okay but what kind of anime would he like

dumb flashy chuuni shit probably

saopdsfjajpsfodi poor aurelius. your spark thinks you have dumb taste in media

or player. w/e.

what’s jorule’s taste in anime like? I assume they watch anime in space

who has time for anime when ur doing space heists

hmmm honestly can’t really imagine him watching TV but if he did he’d fucking watch Everything tbh

wait I wasn’t aware there were HEISTS

in practice it was more of a smash and grab………………. but

how did I miss the HEISTS

still!!

I want to do a heist

that was the game i ran before sanct

heists are so good

jorule needs to tell salme about heists (you were running the game before sanct in character as jorule right?)

ish. Seth, but yeah

(also I’m just imaging jorule bored in the void watching his soaps)

yeah Seth the not confusing at all evil jorule alter ego

he’s not evil he gave the robot kP :(

look I’m just taking Evelyn’s word for it

(also how does giving a robot kp exonorate him?)

would an evil person pay a robot to do a job

this is actually giving me pause as a serious moral question

the answer is no they generally try to not even pay living people much less robots!!!

I think it depends on if the pay was to manipulate them or not and how much the evil person valued money

though yeah your response did make me laugh and I was typing something similar

but then remembered there are different varieties of evil

o u

also your best friend fuepepe would never tell lies about Jorule’s evil phase

you take over the world as a science experiement one time…………………………………

poor seth being judged for some minor world domination

unfair

(putting a pin in “take over the world as a science experiment” and I’m gonna make you tell me about that later)

more of a peter question anyway tbh

perhaps! and yet I like hearing you tell me about stuff

i mean I literally don’t know shit about lemonade other than out of context bits from the end lol

so it’d be hard to tell you more about it than I have already

ohhhh wait right this was the one where you weren’t involved and peter had you pop in at the end?

or something

no wonder jorule was vague about that

ye

I’m just imagining him having faint memories of like “???? I went evil and took over the world???”

love that for him

there is a specific guide to running heists in RPGs that I will thoroughly recommend to everyone. it’s FATE Crimeworld.

waow… a whole world of crime…

crime!

man I don’t even know how a RPG heist would go. I just know I fucking love heists in movies and shows and books? It’s like. There’s a spectrum to the kind of Action Movie I’ll tolerate, and Car Chase is at the bottom and Heist is at the top.

well you see, you can read FATE Crimeworld, and it will tell you

:O

secret knowledge

if I were to read this, do I need to read the core rulebook

This is a test to see

how well something copy-pasted

into the text editor

like this

will convey

if I had been more clever

I’d have done a pastiche

of that plums poem

alas

I did not

sorry, William

Carlos Williams

: “Or perhaps,” she said

*”He should be thanking me

because those pastiches are

rather tired

*and overwrought”

: “One final test for the smartquotes this time*

which seem to love

to cause problems

maybe not as many problems as frogs

but enough problems

*nevertheless”

P O E M

JORuLE

yeah you’re going to be fucking doomed this entire scene

feel free to have Jae do WHATEVER as I put this whole thing in here (and do pay attention to the last stanza I did change it + a couple others)

I can try to do it. I’m not as good at orator as Salme but I’m happy to make an attempt

TeakKO

I’ve done everything I want to do and they’re just yapping now so we can call scene whenever is good

I wanted a bit of Light Yapping considering the tone tho

hmmm let’s wind down. I think I have an ending beat for a transition that will imply they go have Chill Hangouts for a while?

I figure we can fade out on this note

and I think that’s scene?

:D :D :D THANK YOU

that was … so fucking good

you were amazing

time to have a crisis in Jorule’s DMs

’damn i can’t believe you were right i DO wanna fuck sq’ ‘no shit’

it’s … better/worse than that

lol ice wanna do a salme freakout scene?

it could be done

didn’t have anything else I particularly needed to do tonight

whelp Salme is about to take Sage Jorule’s advice and find Aurelius

if you are Game

it occurs to me a nick change to signify readiness is a little harder to see here than IRC

hahahaha she actually would go bug Aurelius, not Jorule. Fox not bird.

oh i can read entire sentences

and not stop halfway through

you can! you just don’t always choose to lol

where is he gonna be? I can set the scene.

uhhh hmm

somewhere quiet with a table…? i guess maybe at wherever they’re stayign

I’m just going to shove them in the same inn as last time. Teak can’t stop me. (They absolutely can). Their room, or like a common area?

either or

let’s say room just for. privacy.

i see he’s working on his xi character build

there wouldn’t be any graph there, just TABLES, THOUSANDS of them

most tables can be turned into graphs if you believe in yourself?

what if the beast’s disaster isn’t a disaster at all and is simply a palico named tefefe coming to queenstown with a fire in her heart and stealing the crown from SQ…………………………………………..

I … hysterical image but what generated that?

honestly fue should guest-star in a session as tefefe. it should serve absolutely no plot but I think it’d be hilarious

nothing at all really

just out here creating genius premises from nothing

Annarr: My Liege

Jorule: Eh, they’re Fine, honestly, haven’t had bad blood for ages

Aurelius: Fuck This Scorpion

oiujsdfjasdfl; I DO LOVE THAT

oops got former and latter mixed up like one does

I do like “spending most of your time with here” when the amount of Aury/Salme scenes is 7 since getting to the Beast and the amount of Jae-Salme scenes is 2

it is perhaps not clearly that all the zaya and sq scenes are not combined to non-jorules

fair point. Salme will correct that

yeah me too but he preferred to not answer that

Random Street Hotties

I do like that they’re the two human-biased ones

<aurelius> there are people who are hot now that I’m not surrounded by water people and otters, or in the middle of BFE

<salme> my weird feelings for SQ didn’t reach critical mass until I saw her in a vulnerable human form

Makes Sense

WHY DO I FUCKING HAVE ‘time after time’ by cyndi lauper stuck in my head it makes everything have this weird sheen of 80s corniness

that tracks

why does it track?

it’s important to always have one random 80s song that weasles its way into your hear during a campaign to give it a weird corny 80s sheen

I guess considering the Implied Time Fuckery it does kind of fit

what other random 80s song has there been?

EE’s was definitely Sunglasses At Night fwiw which. probably could have some overlap

yeah but sometimes you need a cheesy 80s song

dsfjpfiaosdjf Sunglasses At Night is a good choice

fucked up that’s the actual name of the song i could of sworn it had a Real Title but no lmao

why do you need a Real Title when you can be a song called Sunglasses At Night

and I think that’s scene?

that you that was very cute and I’m DYING at Aury have BEC about SQ

BEC?

bitch eating crackers

ah

ALSO TRUE i’m just used to songs not being named after their chorus, especially when the chorus is the only part of the lyrics anyone ever reemembers lol

yeah I had to look at the lyrics to see what else they said

though tbf the ‘80s was a different time. all the big radio hits I can think of have titles in the major chorus drop

the children yearn for the 80s

I Did Not Listen To Music as a child except for the … soft rock music station which my tiny cable TV inexplicably had, so I have a very bizarre fondness for certain 80s radio hits

why do i know more than one person that didn’t listen to music before they grew up, how do people like that exist

like the thing you have to understand is that I grew up in a Weird Cultural Void mostly because my parents just 1. didn’t share things with me or 2. I didn’t like the things they shared, and if you like. Don’t know. How cassette tapes work or have a CD player you’re just … not going to encounter music?

My favorite song in elementary school was the fucking YMCA because I think I heard it on a commercial?

Cannot Imagine not having a radio

hahah

OH radio sometimes but not often? (Also my parents were just average-ass center-right normies this wasn’t a religious thing they were just … idk man)

It’s sort of like I only really was exposed to Adam Sandler movies because that’s what my step-brother liked to watch

so I would just … discover random things on the TV but didn’t know what channels were or how to find things? I was … really bad at navigating media as a kid

wild

see I think a lot of people inherit musical taste from their parents and I just Did Not Get That

and then I Discovered Real Music in high school and now Spotify recommends me Dad Rock playlists and I feel Attacked

hmm idk if I did or not honestly

though my dad had a wide range of stuff he’d listen to and my mom could do pop or country so that basically covered everything anyway????

what kind of music do you like, ice? metal, right? other stuff?

I know teak likes classical stuff and … also … metal?

at this point i will listen to almost anything tho i do tend to gravitate more towards hard rock / prog / metal type stuff, generally

I have way too much patience for interminable indie rock bullshit but also my taste calcified forever ago it’s kinda embarrassing

honestly most country isn’t even that bad b/c country is basically just soft rock with Twang

god actually my main pandora station has been throwing a Shit Ton of tracks off keith urban’s new(?) album actually and it’s funny as hell because almost every single one has felt like it’s been in an entire ass different genre

my parents did like country that I consider Very Bad but my parents considered themselves “country” despite being medical professionals living in an ohio suburb so I have a weird relationship with the genre.

OH. man. there’s always one disco sicko

(tho admittedly I do not have much patience for super red neck Yee Haw ‘Murica ‘Murica country music in a similar way that I can’t really do gangster rap)

(disco sicko was intended neutrally)

yeah the one country song I remember being on the radio that I couldn’t stand was like “My wife left me but I’m goin’ fishin’” and it was just. Not my thing

Weird Rock and Melodic Metal inheriting the disco throne unbenownst to most…………………

I still need to ask people for music recs but I still haven’t listened to the instrumental recs people send because my brain is just like “clicking links is Hard”

I just tell people my favorite Radiohead album is Kid A and people think I’m a Woman Of Taste

mfw every time sam links something and it goes “COPYRIGHT SAYS YOU CAN ONLY LISTEN ON YOUTUBE” and I’m like “uugh that’s so much effort………………….. hitting play on pandora again………………”

isufajsd;fajskfd

clicking links is hard and no one understands

have u heard of the most influential album of our generation, linkin park’s debute album paper cuts

wait wasn’t Linkin Park’s debut album Hybrid Theory?

oh yes, paper cut’s the first track not the album title lol

(that was clever. it would be more clever if my browser didn’t Hate You Specifically, Teak)

Hybrid Theory was the fuckening first CD I bought I think? I was obsessed in middle school.

you can, perhaps, get a sense for how often i listen to it back in the day by having made that mistake

oh huh

I had like. An edgy goth phase but the only black shirt I owned was my youth orchestra t-shirt and I only had one pair of black like. mom jeans? and I didn’t know what like. Metal was.

listened to a lot of evanescence, but my $$$ were going to overpriced anime VHS from media play

lol

sdfjopsidfj then all my cool HS friends told me my taste in music was cringe, which was maybe mean, but also got exposed to a lot of new things?

: “underappreciated” what the fuck backwater part of the country did you grow up in lmao

I cannot objectively judge anything about Linkin Park really.

I owned 3 CDs and listened to them on endless repeat and didn’t know how to figure out the radio.

oh sure but like

that’s because the stuff in that time period was kind of???? weird?? different?????

hybrid theory was pretty big and meteora was Fucking Huge

you Could Not get away from it

radios are real and they were my friend :(

radios are real but I liked the control of Choosing what I listened to.

sounds like buffalo just had shit radio stations tbqh

you’d still get a couple songs that got played a Lot but everything around it would be fairly varied down in socal, and then each station was pretty distinct besides so you could flop to something else if something hit critical mass

I think I just got agitated because Ads. Ads all the time.

but I mostly radio’d when I was driving and I get Very Bored if I’m driving and my brain doesn’t have something to do

(most classical stations seem to be NPR affiliates? like that just seems to be a Thing)

there was one station btw that had the - not call sign, not subtitle, but you know - that was “playing the hits from the 80s, 90s, and today” that they used…. even before the 00s happened… and i think about that a Lot, especially as I get old :E

: “80s, 90s, and today” I’m

like i can only assume it used to be 70s, 80s and today really early into the 90s and then at some point they cut the 70s off like a local drunk, but???? who knows (not me i wasn’t old enough)

oipeufjoifpjfpowef “cut the 70s off like a local drunk”

I just remember the “golden oldies” channel … changed what “golden oldies” meant

wild

I don’t think that ever happened here we just invented classic rock stations instead lol*

that is the Logical Solution

And Yet

man the one time I just remember being irrationally piqued at the radio was. I was working at subway (one which was part of a gas station; fancy) and they were talking about the “top hits of American rock”

and

their number 1 choice

was “The Wall” by Pink Floyd

who are BRITISH

like. pretty. obviously.

england is basically just America Senior, it sounds

counts

ngl pink floyd was such a fucking integral part of Cool Guy Rock In America that I legit never really realized they were, in fact, from britian lol

oh. I feel like … hm. I went through a British Rock phase but also you can really hear the accents

sometimes, at least.

accents actually mostly tend to vanish when singing tbqh????????????????????????

YEAH that’s why it’s surprising.

Or like I still kinda sing with a country twang that I absolutely do not speak with because what little music I DID learn to sing along to was … country.

Oh

I guess in elementary school I was big into country for a while.

had my Shania Twain CDs

but there are a couple british bands where like … I feel like the accents are just punching you in the face. Oasis, of Wonderwall fame, Arctic Monkeys

I think it might be a specific accent that procs for me?

sometimes you just parse it as someone having a Distinct Voice

like that guy from Rush……………………….

(this is a joke b/c I know they’re not american)

I honestly could not tell you what a single song from Rush sounds like. I know I have heard them. I listened to a couple CDs. Still. No idea.

insane

(I think it would be a funny joke if I could remember)

: nodsnods

the more serious answer would have been “sometimes people just have weird distinct voices, like les claypool of Primus fame” tho idk if that would even parse lol

okay so like. I went through this really bizarre “I need to Teach Myself Pop Culture” period in HS where I got a bunch of CDs and stuff out of the library and just listened to them + watched popular movies on my own. This is, in retrospect, Insane Behavior, and I recognize that, especially because the CDs available at the local library branch were a Very Weird Collection that in no way helped me connect with my peers.

and yeah no that does not even parse

also I think a lot of non-alt/hard rock bands in the 90s just kinda had a similar infliction….???? which, in retrospect, might’ve been dudes that grew up listening to british rock mimicing it slightly

hahahah

possibly. There’s probably also the Influence Of The Beatles? I know That Was Important but I also never really liked the Beatles

i am also

a certified Beatles Disliker

i can’t really do pop or rock from before the 60s tho (and the 60s only survive on the graces of weird space and prog rock)

I think A Couple Songs Are Fine and I acknowledge their cultural significance?

but I’d never choose to listen to them

also don’t do well with pre-60s pop or rock, though man I fucking love? Simon and Garfunklel?

but I don’t again have very much depth of taste really unless it’s a handful of specific artists/bands

ice are there any other Popular Things music-wise you dislike?

since it seems like you vibe with Most Things

uhhh nothing immediately comes to mind but I haven’t really been keeping up with the industry as much as I use to in the last decade or two

it’s hard once you get Old

tbqh I think it’s more so that I started watching a shit ton of anime and TV again while also finally figuring out how to play games without dropping then 2/3rds of the way through

rather than just listening to music for hours on end

(and mostly just regulating it to my pandora station in the morning / during Campaigns…. and then no campaigns for a while either………………………………)

oh man how do you play games without dropping them 2/3rds of the way through. inquiring minds want to know

I think a lot of it was just not trying to power through shit in as few seating as possible anymore????

that or i outgrew whatever childhood add i had

I misread that as “I outgrew whatever childhood I had” and was like “wow bummer thing to say do not understand how it relates to video games”

lol

alas your secret will not work for me because I never was a “power through” type. I just keep bouncing off things and it sucks.

what non-anime TV do you watch?

not a lot any more tbh??? but there was a while there when I was watching, or at least trying, most primetime network stuff

until one of the bigger strikes happened and then streaming stuff started getting bigger and I couldn’t be assed to try and deal with that because none of them ever posted schedules or made shit easy to find in general

honestly legit

not that I was ever good at watching TV ever once in my life

other than sporadic shit that gets mentioned a lot

(and then for what ever reason i got bored at one point in time and watched All The Marvel Movies that were out at that point and have, inexplicably, kept up with them despite not having been to a theater in, uh…. 20 years at this point maybe longer???? which lead to somehow keeping up with their TV shows too :E)

(that … is Amazing and Not a media I would’ve expected you to be into?)

(but I guess I don’t know what I’d expect you to be into?)

do you have opinions?

big into shows teak tells me to watch and then i watch 2 seasons and it’s kind of cool and then teak stops watching it entirely tbh

(this is a Very Funny zing at Young Teakwood)

i have many opinions

my hot mcu take is that the TV shows are on average better than the movies :E

(which, i don’t think, is actually that weird if you think about it b/c they’re all based on shit was serialized so episode format fits better)

Yeah I was going to say. I don’t really care for marvel movies (there are a couple I enjoyed, but I never got in on the craze) but I can see where the TV shows would be a better fit

I never actually saw Civil War, but having read the comics I was like “I’m not…really sure any feature-length film could pull this off”

IDK maybe it did! but they’re big stories with intricate background and, as you said, seem predisposed to TV

the trick is they just keep getting Longer And Longer,

and then still feel like they’re rushed as fuck despite being close to 3 hours long :D

I am the Weird Bitch that Loves a 3 Hour Long Movie but like. It needs to be a Martin Scorsese 3 hours

I did like the winter soldier movie? that one was fun.

I don’t think I saw any of the late-stage avengers movies.

aha

the best one of those was the second spiderman, because they had the opportunity to do the funniest fucking thing and they took it

these were the new ones right? with … andrew garfield? or the new-new ones with … the guy with the frog in his mouth.

tom holland

the new new ones was implied yeah

(it was funny because that was where they decided to start poking at multiverse stuff and someone went “hey what it we brought in some of the actors from the 90s spiderman movies and the 00s spiderman movies and said they were from different branches” and it was, in fact, very funny and cool)

(OH RIGHT I vaguely remember that)

which

honestly

if you’re going to Comics Movies you might as well just. face-up fuck around with the conflicting canons

(lol I did love the spiderverse animated movies and am looking forward to the next one?)

oh yeah i watched the first one and then was like “eeh might as well wait for part 2 before starting the second”

and have NOT regretted that decision, several years delays later

yeah I think that is wise since the second one ends on a major cliffhanger

I also

think movies

perhaps

should not be divided up into “parts”

I feel like that is not a movie, that is a miniseries. call me old-fashioned

I mean,

yeah

i’m not big on movies in general tho so

… how many times has that happened?

i wanna say 3???

maybe 4?

lol what were the 2-3?

Defiance, that show with Space Sam whos name i really should remember, GoT… i feel like there was a something else but it’s not coming to me

: “Space Sam”

Wheel of Time (jokes on me tho the show died ; ;)

WoT was … really, really good

I mean

you did NOT keep up with GoT but maybe you caught up later

except the parts that were pretty bad

like Daniel Henney’s ability to act

and yeah sometimes a show is set in space and has the platonic ideal sam character in it

… Teak that man is Extremely Handsome but he is a Dogshit Actor

and everyone goes “yeah, damn, amos sure is a sam character”

ah I was wondering if it was The Expanse. That’s on My List with … many other things

you feel at LEAST two seasons behind

even aleith was more caught up than you somehow, which was fucking embarassing

also oh god actor names, my cryptonite

it’s been on my list forever because multiple people whose taste I trust love it

when the autism hyperfixation is “unconventional ways you could kill a guy”

I am worthlessly good at remembering names which does be absolutely no good because I can’t remember what anyone looks like. we were watching a movie once with 2 guys who had dark curly hair and I didn’t realize until 30 minutes in they were 2 separate guys.

… wow yeah teak would’ve been doomed

Amos is funny because he’s simulatinously the most Sam Character That’s Ever Been To Space, but also, inexplicably, just Male Raine at the same time and it’s really fucked up to think about

what a description

i aim to please

slkdfjasl;dfj

honestly? more catboys with murder in their hearts would be good, I think, for the species

ice do you end up with favorite characters like teak or do you tend to be an ensemble cast guy?

really really super depends but like it’s not hard to have a favorite character while also enjoying most of the cast

I … I know you aren’t answering questions in the Most Noncommittal Way on purpose but sometimes you type things and I’m like … god. there was some dumb post going around and it was like “things are either good or bad, depending”

that’s you

(sometimes)

i mean what else is there to say to that question really

SPEAKING OF COOL SHOWS TEAK DID EVENTUALLY WATCH THO,

if you have a backlog of cool shit you should watch one day,

make sure Person of Interest is on it

ooh that sounds fun. also like a thing my roommate might like to watch with me, which gives me a much higher rate of Finishing A Thing

and idk icecylee YOU COULD HAVE GIVEN ME EXAMPLES?

tell me what you thought of WoT

rand is the dumbest man alive

except for matt,

but that’s ok because matt will soon be the dumbest man who is dead

fouiasjfl;kasdjfl;

wolfman cool.

bitchy blue lady is my spirit animal

the main woman? moiraine?

yeah her

she was so good

love her

honestly shocked that the TV show made me like a lot of the characters I didn’t like in the book

i don’t think there was anyone I didn’t like off hand?

other than like. people you are not supposed to like

I really didn’t like book!Nynaeve mostly because I felt like she caused problems on purpose for reasons that didn’t quite make sense?

and I always struggled with Perrin/Wolfman which. Was not Untrue in the TV series but I liked him better?

huh

I also read these as a middle schooler and I had a really weird chip on my shoulder about characters in violent worlds that got all sad about having to Violence? IDK WHY I just did. And Perrin was one of the victims. Also. ALSO. Book 8 is basically just Perrin Being Sad and even people who LIKE him I think find that one like. wretched.

i don’t think we got that far :D

aosidfuasjfdp reading the WoT books was like “HELLO: YOU ARE A WOMAN AND THAT MAKES YOU FUNDAMENTALLY STRANGE AND IRRATIONAL AND INHERENTLY WEAKER THAN MEN” and like. I was 11 and very D: about it

the TV show flawlessly fixed all of that. no notes.

damn someone’s not getting into the red cult

you mean the TERF Aja?

i think i do….?????

sorry I just jokingly call them TERFs because the red magic ladies seemed like they would be

I mean Gender is inherently written into the metaphysics of the world

I need to watch what actually got made. I think I fell off somewhere in S2 because the person I was watching it with kept going on unskippable cutscenes about how much she hated stuff

did they get into Rand’s polycule at all? I remember he was my favorite and RJ couldn’t even convince me that 3 women wanted to fuck him

the two i remember off hand both made sense at least????

(childhood friend, didn’t know better options could exist) (Was Doing Marriage Fraud And Then Oops)

: “Was Doing Marriage Fraud And Then Oops”

I actually really liked Rand/Egwene in S1. I thought it was cute and actually convincing?

… though my edgy child self actually always shipped Rand with Lanfear

lanfear also big into that ship

oifusjal;kdfal;ksfd THIS IS TRUE

: <lanfear> “Why thank you I have also always shipped Lews Therin with myself”

bitch knows what she wants and goes for it, i’ll give her that

Didn’t she have a thing with the … two arthurian boys?

it was. somehow. less convincing than Rand/Polycule

RJ was … not good at writing human relationships

that’s kinda funny to hear in retrospect b/c the show was

really good at selling every single fucking interaction anyone ever had

yeah that’s why the show fucked

and it’s like … you know, when something is a good adaptation and knows when to skip or combine or change

dont worry teakwood… someone else picked up the license… and they’re making a Massive Open World RPG About It……………………………………………… surely this will end Well

WoT was also formative for me if it helps. I have. Nothing very good to say about it which makes me seem like a jerk but I read my favorite scenes until the spines on those things cracked

my copy of book 6 existed in two halves

ice are you joking or did that actually happen?

i’m not joking but i couldn’t give you any details b/c it was in a random artical i stumbled upon and then immediately forgot about until now, months ago

that sounds like the most cursed thing I could possibly imagine

I mean I tend to only watch things if I can borrow the full dvd/bluray from the library or find like. a boxed set for $20-30.

one day i will get you to watch hit 2017’s anime Re:Zero teakwood………………………………

oh wait s1 was actually 2016 lmao

some day I’m going to make both of you + hachi watch Utena.

good luck with that

I know it probably won’t happen but I can Dream

I know you’re not gay enough

but still

a girl can dream. also I feel like for an Anime Nerd it’s a classic you should see? but idk.

you’ve watched every fucking anime on earth except utena

<3 <3 <3

if i was gunna correct a massive blindspot in my Old Anime folio

it would probably be evangelion tbqh

which i refuse to watch simply on principle at this point

I mean eva is also good imo

even if it’s really only good partially because they ran out of $$ and had to be creative

DID SOMEONE SAY XENOGEARS

no that checks out. there is really no low the evangelion IP will not stoop to. FFXIV is high-class.

mfw yoshi-p on stage near in tears from excitment about being able to announce the eva cross over

and I’m the only one in the world going “ugh god whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy”

poor icecylee

alone and misunderstood

hahaha

… they. they did a NieR crossover????

ok but the nier cross over was funny as hell

because it got people that finished the quests

to keep coming back to takl to that dwarf for three fucking months

only for nothing to happen

and i think thta’s beautiful

what’s the weirdest XIV crossover?

yokai watch

: what

?????

how does that not count?

pokemon esq series for kids (I say as if pokemon isn’t for kids) that was Really Fucking Popular in japan at some point

hahah i said they’re a waste of resources,

AND I TAKE IT U AGREE………………………..

I know what yokai watch is. my friends’ little kids were in love with it

but yeah I think FF16’s the only crossover they haven’t done a repeat of yet and only because it was so recent

that’s why I was like “… what. the thing for small children???”

oh, yeah

it’s funny because it’s like

it’s like telling me there was an XIV bluey crossover

: “ff11 because obviously”

: “DQ, sure why not”

: “ff15 b/c it’s new, I guess”

: “OKAY GUYS WE’RE DOING A YOKAI WATCH CROSSOVER”

sdjfapfsdjisadjf

: “????????????????????????????????????????”

lololol “I can’t believe it’s not Gundam”

it took me an embarrassingly long time to parse “DQ” as “Dragon Quest”

literally sitting here going “Donkey … Quong???”

god bless that tiny woman and her ability to making saving rolls for early ARR plots

teak. I love you. but also. sometimes I think you are lying to me about the relative homosexuality of things. ice are they lying to me?

umm

no they did not let agrias kiss - shit what’s her name

ramza did prevent delita from being evil with the power of blowjobs tho that one’s true

… amazing

OVELIA that’s her name i think?????

yeah she was mostly not around, they chose to make alma more prominate instead

playing the FFT remake was

wild

: “wow the gameplay is so much more ass than I remember” “wow this story is way more complicated, pointedly politicial and Fucked Up than I remember”

Realizing Dycedarg was one of the biggest pieces of shit in the entire game for the first time was insane

hahahaha

just googled for a visual and wow these names

I. Guess??? Delita??? Had noble intentions????? compared to Dycedarg’s I Am Noble intentions??????????????????????????????????????????????

also there was that guy that didn’t listen to Cid who sucked and never got a devil rock

but yeah definitely top 3 no question

yeah

trying to imagine Tiny Teak playing PSX FFT

and crying b/c They’re Not Using English In A Way That Makes Sense, Again, Help

chrono cross is high concept bugshit weird

but is also actually readable

idk if i’d say PSX FFT’s translation is the WORST PSX translation but it definitely didn’t do it any favors, outside of a handful of Accidentally Really Strong oneliners

is this the same translation team that did FFIV? I think hachi told me about it? Either that or II. I can’t remember.

naw, early PSX was when they ditched their SNES freelancers and were like “we could save money having a bunch of JP local people do it in house”

and then FF7 and FFT were Ass

lolololol

FF8s was

really good, given the circumstances

like not on the level of XG but that was someone insane doing gods work when they really should NOT have

that is ALSO true,

but you could at least understand what was happening :D

also true

love that grumpy goth loser

my daughter picked a good ‘un

kinda fucked she wasn’t there when we went to the 1st briefly for msq…………………..

it’s been long enough tho they can make eden canon now, it worked out for tower of the ancients

people love that fukkin’ cat now

ps teak it is 4:15 icetime you are up WAY too late

says the man also up past his bedtime

(watching you two yap was cute. ty!)

i was grabbing my toothbbrush as i said that yes good night!!!!

:P good night

oh hey Teak

just COULD NOT RESIST being catte

S’what you get

endjinn microaggressions salme

it is a techne for me so I can actually do it at-will, but IDK if you’d prefer to have a GM for your perspective

(Teak just hasn’t given me the wording :E)

otherwise salme can plead emotional exhaustion and they can plan on it l8r

Yeah, more just for GM for my perspective

they might have cool ideas other that “Nope, eyes work.”

What a sentence

: “trying to look into your own organs”

if u were a fish that wouldn’t even be hard

you’re right we should turn Luĉja into a fish

I already went swimmign

make :clap: luĉja :clap: a :clap: mermaid

mer…man?

merbot?

I FUCKING LAUGHED ALOUD

I’m a big fan of wermer, since were-wolf goes in man-other word order

THE BIT CONTINUES

I want to be clear, the rocks aren’t GOOD, they’re just not bad.

Rocks are just Endjinn hardtack, in my brain

narr-kun has other ideas

Lucja did not have schooling. But even if they did, they failed A&P.

ORGANS

ah, the gift of a shared hot fart

the real reason aury never wants to methexis: salme will know how gassy he really is

fun facts, I own 2 stuffed animals. A turtle and a pangolin.

oh my gosh

scene unless you want one last line!

I’m good

merci

thank you very much! I had a Much Fun and enjoyed our Yap

and we found out some interesting things about your organs

They move!

and ya got Space in there

I’m still dying at “Hmmph” @ SQ

I am a jar and SQ is gonna get an earful

honestly I think Luĉja is the only one who really CAN do that do her

and SHOULD

I am so very looking forward to that scene

salme attempts a serious conversation @ jorule v. 502309

:O

huh wow actual adult conversations happening here. shit’s wild.

Omg I love them all

<3

man rereading shit and realizing my typo rate is worse than Ice’s

respect the red squiggle lines

it’s mostly me fucking up words by changing my sentence structure mid thought so it’s not stuff spellcheck would catch

like two nots in a row or the wrong pronoun. I’ll read what I wrote and go “I am a dumbfuck”
