So After Reading A Post From @anthurak I Couldn't Stop Thinking About One Particular Sentence:

So after reading a post from @anthurak I couldn't stop thinking about one particular sentence:

Ozzie makes a big point about how he believes lust should be consensual between all parties, openly decrying the use of ‘love potions’ and other means of coercing.

Eventually I realized which part stuck in my mind:

openly decrying the use of ‘love potions’ and other means of coercing.

The reason this stuck out to me is it made me realize that if Ozzie knew about the fact that Stolas basically used the grimoire to extort favors from Blitz on a monthly basis up until the events of Western Energy, he probably wouldn't approve of their relationship as much as he does.

I suggest you check out the rest of the artist's gallery, he's got loads of LN stuff. Also, here's the dream I submitted, or at least the gist of it:

I was walking into a clearing in a snow covered evergreen forest when I heard some music coming from a windowless log cabin, every object on the inside was was made of wool except for the lightbulb and the music was coming from a wool gramophone in the inexplicably darkest corner of the cabin.

I can't remember the middle but eventually I got caught by a square shouldered lumberjack in a white jacket and grey beanie with the facial structure of a horse skull with olive green skin, a pointy nose and greasy string of black hair.

I saw you mention a museum as a setting in The Nowhere and it reminded me of an idea I had for a monster's gameplay gimmick: A curator or security guard who follows the player around all the time but only attacks if you break specific rules illustrated on posters throughout their area. If you want a visual aid I found a similar idea with this piece on Deviantart: https://www.deviantart.com/bigdad/art/The-Landlord-877681909

OHHHH THE ART GOES SO HARD HELLO? I LOVE IT SO MUCH!

That's a cool idea. Funnily enough, my submission for the contest held a few months back WAS a dream I had where I was alone in a museum. It was a situation similar to the one in the Mall, where there wasn't any outward threat, but I also could feel eyes on me. There were no exhibitions, just marble white rooms and the cameras following me in every room. Kinda like the Muscle, but without speech: just starring. I also started out in a parking lot in that dream, oddly enough. It was completely empty.

I love the idea of rules based monster though. The "rules to be followed" creepypasta format is my favorite.

There's something off about Bubble

So, we all know he's Caine's sidekick/ cohost who helps with "grunt work" (cleaning and cooking) around the circus and joins in on the adventure introductions.

The thing that sticks out about Bubble the most, at least to me, is him being the only entity in the circus that can get away with directly antagonizing Caine, being the cohost, he always reappears after being popped because Caine needs to keep up the "show's" format.

Not only that, but he frequently takes advantage of it, eating the cake and annoying Caine when introducing the Gloinks, all in all Bubble is not much nicer than Jax.

All this begs the question: Why would Caine make such a sidekick in the first place? Caine may not have an even remotely solid grasp on human behavior, messy thought patterns and skewed priorities, but he's not stupid, he can tell when something is good or bad for his goal of entertaining both the performers and audience. So why make a cohost who relishes in toying with him so much?

I think Bubble holds more sway over the digital circus than we know, possibly being on par with Caine in terms of actual control, just relinquishing the actual authority to him. Not sure about the details, I am working off of a single episode after all, but still thought this was worth sharing, feel free to leave feedback!

Fuck it, live blogging my reaction to TADC pilot!

*circus entities are officaly NPCs, I like it!

*Bubble being gross, perfect for Goose.

*Caine keeps the rooms for dead humans but just crosses out their avatar's portraits, again, seems in character.

**Nevermind, they get abstracted and turn into low poly beasts.

*Kinger is, in fact my favorite character. Lovely neurotic chess man.

*Ragatha' dynamic with Pomni is more interesting than I thought.

*The Gloinks tickle my brain.

*Weird door montage, classic Goose.

*Of course the big thing is the Gloink queen

*Why is a gloink glitching? Is Kaufmo doing that?

*Ooooh- Going PT for a bit with the fake exit.

*Gastrointestinal gameshow reference?!?!<3

*The makers of the circus seems to be a firm called C&A ( Caine and something?)

*An actual Wackywatch, neat, also Caine and Bubble are my favorite 2 character dynamic!

*I forgot about Ragatha, good thing she's better.

*Caine wanted to ad an exit because they wanted one, without understanding why they actually want it. He's so misguidedly cute.

*Adorable credits and HOLY SHIT THERE'S ALREADY MERCH!

*One last thing, the moon being slutty for Caine was my favorite joke.

So I talked in this post about an SM dream I had but there's actually a more recent one that I've actually thought about more since I've had it and I even came up with a tittle. So here's my fleshed out dream idea for a Spooky Month episode:

Simone Says

The basic outline is that a family with a girl around Skid and Pump's age, named Simone, moves into town and Skid gets a crush on her. Simone uses Skid's crush to drive a wedge between him and Pump so she can take advantage of Skid's friendly nature for typical bratty crap (making him do her homework and so on). Later, Pump puts his foot down and tells Skid Simone is no good and when Skid eventually realizes he's right but by then Simone and her family are ready for whatever messed up long con she was helping set up, which all leads to a traditional absurd SM climax.

The parody angle could come in the form of the plot being a sort of kiddie version of popular psychological horror, or there could be a more typical horror twist to Simone's family.

I'd love to hear some feedback on this and might expand it in the future. Also feel free to leave some of your own weird concepts alongside the feedback. Thanks for reading.

I'd like expand on this, maybe Mammon can literally smell opportunity in people, as in sensing how desperate and/or exploitable their current state of mind is.

Similar to how Bee is able to "taste the flavor" of people at her parties and basically get an idea of how everyone is feeling, I like to imagine Ozzie has some natural ability where he's able to sense a person's sexuality just by looking at them.

Somewhat related, despite what some people might assume, he's actually got zero issue with people being asexual. After all, lust shouldn't be forced, and if you just don't feel it, or literally only feel it for specific people or in certain circumstances, he's not gonna give you grief about it.
