NO TAG BACKS 🤭

Tag game🎉

Tag your moots and ask them where they got the idea for their tumblr accounts name!

thank you @just-puddding for haunting me even on here.

i'm just a Mika Häkkinen fan and it's his nick name, I know technically it should be double n but I though this looks nicer so it stuck, also I suck at picking out user names so imagine my surprise when this wasn't taken.

Woooo! My one eye boy :D

I feel like Shayfer James songs fit with the White King Ignatius (Iggy) Maxwell.

Although, I feel like these two songs MOSTLY fit with my au of Iggy (aka that White King).

The latest Broomtail chapter

Yes. Hi. I really really REALLY need to talk about the latest Broomtail chapter. As you may know, we get to see a glimpse of Genzou's past through flashbacks he experiences. Perhaps the physical pian of his illness brings out the mental pain of his heavy backstory, so let's try to understand what's been going on.

One of the first things we see is this. A text that says "I must perform a thorough examination" accompanied with the image of someone smiling. Now, a few things may draw our attention, here. If the sentence is indeed connected to the character shown here, then there is a possibility that said character belongs to the medical field. They appear to be smiling in a really disturbing manner. The person's smile is too wide, the proportions feel odd and give off this creepy effect regarding their teeth. In fact, this reminds me of how Gidget, Orlam and Bucks's face expressions were unnaturally distorted in Wonderland (OW). This character, and potential doctor is likely meant to appear creepy, uncanny, and overall uncomfortable to look at in this specific picture. Perhaps they have bad intentions, or at least, that would be quite easy to assume. This hints at Genzou having some medical trauma and will likely make dealing with his illness even harder. (poor guy, seriously).

The second image shows a terrified Genzou. But look at him. Isn't he missing something? The scar on his eyes. This is a shot of him before he lost his eyesight!! The next sentence shown is a hesitant, half asked question : "Wh-what did you...?" implies the person asking that question is scared to even be asking it. Is scared of the answer. If this is related to the previous (potential doctor) character, then they seem to have done something that horrified Genzou.

Here is the next picture. A character, that to me looks shockingly similar to Genzou's mother is laying down, and doesn't seem to be in a good condition at all. If it is indeed Genzou's mother, then her hair is falling on her face and she appears to have splashes of something that looks like blood on her face. Her hair falling on her face would likely indicate that she is not in a state that's good enough for her to remove said hair. She is likely in a lot of pain, perhaps in the worst of cases, she is dead, or dying. If this is related to the likely doctor character from earlier, then perhaps she was a victim of medical malpractice, or she was straight up murdered. Who can tell, really? What's intriguing, however, is the text above that pleads "K-kill me..." Is Genzou's mother begging for her life to end? Or, could this be someone else.....?

The next image is of someone holding a gun, likely Genzou regarding the shape of the hand. He appears to be trembling, which is perfectly fitting to his current mood. Terrified and in pain. Something happened, where Genzou was trembling, holding a gun. Was he hesitating to shoot something or someone? Had he just shot something or someone and was regretting it? Underneath, the text reads "P-please..." which is yet again, another stuttering plea. We can likely say that this is the continuity of the previous one, and that the person asking to be killed is the same as this one.

And, here's the next image. A familiar, familiar face. Gidget, slaying their outfit, leaning on a doorframe. The text near them was likely said by them, regarding the change in tone. They are comparing themself to someone who they are referring to as "cowboy". Already, we can tell Gidget is a pretty important, yet painful part of Genzou's past.

Now this. This is where it gets EVEN MORE interesting. We get to see two intertwined hands, looking a lot like Gidget's and Genzou's. The implications of this could be that Gidget and Genzou were romantically involved with eachother at one point in this universe. That is a VERY interesting thing to explore, as it is not a dynamic that can be seen in any game of that universe. Sure, in Our Wonderland, Genzou seems a bit taken aback by Gidget's good looking appearance from the moment they start presenting themself as more masculine than before, but due to Gidget "forcing themself to be cis" (for lack of a better expression) for most of the game, this dynamic has not been explored before! And I must tell you I was NOT expecting that!! The text reads "You like the soft ones, don't ya?" which could be referring to a lot of things. But I think in this case, that it could specifically be referring to romantic partners, in which case, that is quite the flirty sentence on Gidget's account. Pair that with the memory of their intertwined hands and draw the conclusion you will....

The next image only further confirms this theory. Gidget is leaning into Genzou's ear, whispering "I can be soft..." which is, in my opinion, undeniably flirty. It also looks like their hand is tugging at his collar, or at the very least, pretty close from it. Gidget is also smirking in the picture, which only affirms this. However, the bottom text reads "or I can be..." and simply ends there. What else can Gidget be? And do we really want to know?

The next images are a sudden switch, a complete change in scenery. Genzou is still thinking of Gidget, but this is a completely different memory. Gidget isn't flirty anymore, they actually look rather angry. They are crouching near a lying Genzou and despite their face being hidden by the shadow of their hat, they are clearly disdainous. The text near them confirms the way Gidget feels. They are refusing to kill Genzou (which implies that the person pleading to be killed earlier on, was in fact Genzou from this specific memory, asking Gidget to end his life) and claim that they have gone through so much together (potentially confirms the theory of them being exes in this universe). Gidget is clearly upset by something Genzou has done and the bottom text confirms that they think Genzou deserves to feel guilty about it, which he definitely seems to. The bottom image also reveals that this is the memory of Genzou losing his eyesight. There is blood on his eyes, in the exact place where his scar currently is. Genzou is scared, terrified and he is crying. He regrets something he has done, he feels guilty and he has just turned blind. He is in so much pain that he is asking Gidget to end his life. And Gidget? They are so angry at him for what he has done that they refuse to put an end to his misery, and claim they want his guilt to make him suffer.

Here, Gidget mentions "the weight of his sins" and him being dragged "straight down to hell". It is unclear whether they are referring to a literal hell, as this is a very religious time period, (and well, Genzou has a lot to regret and furthermore, he is gay...) or whether they are referring to a metaphorical hell, which is what he is DEFINITELY going through.

The last image reveals Genzou, still lying on the floor. The blood is still on his face, he is staring into the sky, which he likely cannot see anymore. Here it can be seen that there is a gun near his hand. And his gun holder on his belt is empty. Genzou is right handed, and the gun is near his right hand. Regarding the earlier image of him trembling while holding a gun, this raises questions. Did he shoot himself in the eyes? If so, was that his actual intent? Because he doesn't seem to enjoy being blind. Or are there still key elements we're missing... On this last image, we can also clearly see that Gidget is gone, and Genzou is lying here ALL ALONE. The text reads "Don't leave me..." implying a fear of abandonment, especially after he has just lost one of his senses. But Gidget is gone. So is his eyesight. And he feels guilty about something. And his gun, his gun means something important as well. I have much to bet that THIS is the most embarrassing moment in his godforsaken life. He's all alone. He's vulnerable and exposed. He can't see anymore. He has no one anymore. And he is so guilt ridden he doesn't feel worthy of love anymore. The most embarrassing moment in Genzou's godforsaken life.

What I like the most about this chapter is that he starts focusing on that fear of being left alone, right as the image transitions to his present sick self. And Iggy being back. Ready to help and support him. You likely have medical, religious and abandonment trauma, Genzou. But Iggy will never leave you.

Anyway, does anyone think I missed anything? Those are just silly theories, I'm sure Carrot is cooking some delightful story as we speak and I can't wait to see more of it!!

🕯️ From under the rubble of Gaza… A message from a university student fighting for survival 🕯️

"We no longer dream… We just want to live another day without bombing, without hunger, without fear."

I am a university student from Gaza. A young man who used to carry his university bag, and today he bears the burden of survival in a city that knows nothing but pain.

My home was destroyed. My land was seized by the occupation. My family lost everything.

Even water, bread, and medicine… became unattainable dreams.

We live days that don't resemble life… There's no enough food, no electricity, no clean water, not even safety. We spend the nights surrounded by the bombardment's lights, and the day searching for a morsel of food to satisfy our hunger or medicine to save a sick person.

Despite all this, I'm still trying to complete my studies. I still believe that knowledge has a louder voice than bombs, and that the pen is mightier than a bullet. But I can't afford university fees, and I don't have money for books or even internet access.

That's why I'm writing to you… Perhaps this appeal will reach the heart of a person who knows the meaning of mercy and feels the weight of the pain we carry.

Awww Look At these Cuties!! 💖💖

[!G0R3 W@RNING!]

why do I feel like these three scenes have slight similarities? 🤔

[First image: Iggy from Our Wonderland; Arc 2]

[Second Image: Protag from Elevator Hitch; Ending 3B]

[Third Image: [You/Player] from Do NOT Take This Cat Home; Ending 25: "Seafood Sacrifice". (obviously, they weren't always a fish-)]

+ Small art I made of the three of them <3

Context:

Quick explaino!

While playing Our wonderland, I thought the scene where Iggy was slowly being digested, kinda reminds me back into another two Visual Novels I had played, called; Elevator Hitch and Do NOT take this cat home!

Tbh, I see small similiarities between the three! However, I think Iggy and Protag have a few more similarities than the Player in DNTTCH. They both wear glasses, both determined, both ( including the player from DNTTCH) getting eaten alive, died many times, stuck in a time-loop, have fluffy hair(I MEAN LOOK AT THEEEMMM), anxious, both cutie patooties anndddd both have jerkwad boyfriends (Iggy and Protag, Idk about the player-)

(honestly, Ilovelelevatorhitchourwonderlandanddonttakethiscathomesomuchthatit'sbecominganaddictionhelp yes I ship Protag with Coworker(Bryce Stryker-or whatever douchebag name he comes up with this time...) >:3.

Day 13; FAVOURITE LINE.

"Touch the grass, you big horse ass." - Flower.

I literally quote this line daily. I even said it to my sister during a UNO match. Guess who got beaten up that day?

Me. Obviously. -3-

Tbh, I would always wait for the Flower to say that line, and would laugh at Genzou being rage baited by the 'innocent' flower. Though, I am quite surprised that Genzou didn't let Iggy commit a plant homicide on the flower in Arc 3.

Day 9; Faves tracks from OW Ost.

dude. You don't understand how well the songs/tracks fits in OW. SOOOO, LISTING THESE AMAZING FUCKING MASTERPIECES CAUSE THEY'RE MY FAVOURITE!!! >:3

Genzou's Theme - Just one of those tunes that scratches your brain so well. Honestly, I just love the beats and pianos in the background, matching the rhythm.

Work, interrupted - WOOOOO, IGGY GOT TASTE- But fr tho, the jazzy music literally made me go searching for the music itself (I forgot the name-). Also made me vibe with the music despite Iggy falling off his chair and landing on his wet carpet smelling like coffee.

Orlam's Revenge -

Orlam; *Getting ready to drop Genzou in the boiling pots and eat the duo.*

Me: *Dancing and vibing once again-* Wait, what's going on again?-

But why did that eat so hard???? Like, Orlam is literally going to eat/cook the two while this music is playing in the background, matching not only his vibes, but his insanity 😋.

Escaping the Castle - RUN BITCH, RUNNNN!! I love it so much omfg. Like- How do I even explain how fantastic this shit is?????? 😭🧐

Genzou's Shop - Honestly, something that I would listen to while studying. Gives off quite an upbeat and calm vibe to me. Relaxing. ✨✨

Nothing Good - The tune...Why tf does it give off such creepy but vibey tunes??? Like, you're at a Ghost town or in an abandoned house and that's what you hear. ;3;

I'm Sorry - WHOA, WHOA WTHHHH. The heavy beat drops WOOOOO!! But besides that, to me, it really expresses Orlam's anger and resentment towards Genzou. How easily Genzou can say sorry to Iggy but not to him. That's just my thoughts obviously.

Iggy's Descent - ...oops. Shiver me timbers-

That gave me the chills tbh. It's like listening to one finally snapping.

Look What You've Become - Suited the whole entire atmosphere around Iggy, how he became a monster, becoming corrupted, so blinded by his rage and emotions.

Cecil - It matches with his first appearance ngl. Suits the whole mysterious look, if that's what he's going for whatsoever.

Tarantella For Three - Despite the whole situation that uh Orlam had put the duo (Iggs and Genzou) in and the discomfort of it- You got to agree that this song is jazzy as fuck.

Arc 4 Credit - IT DIDN'T NEED TO EAT THAT HARDDDDDD BUT IT DIDDDD 😭😭😭.

The Collector - Gives off such an intense vibe. FUCKING SUITS THE SITUATION. Am I the only one who plays this track whenever I play UNO or Battleships with my younger cousins? Cause I did, and it was the best experience 😂. (I kept losing.)

Doll Chase - Honestly, when I heard this for the first time, I was literally vibing to the music and forgot that Iggy and Genzou were even chasing the Iggy Doll around. It gives me such a tappy-dancy vibes! (I loved it so much and got distracted by it that I forgot to save when my sister shut my laptop down-)

WonderlandNews Broadcast - It kind of reminds me of those 3D pixel games and Pokemon + Yokai Watch, where they have this nice song at the intro or credits.

Tomato Ambush - I'm a sucker for heavy music/tunes, and this is one of them. Again. How it suited the situation so well, the chaos, the adrenaline through the ambush. And yes. I did want to commit a Tomato massacre when seeing those little red ommpa loompas again.

Jerry and His band of merry Furries Rabbits;

Quite a nice tune ngl. I just like it :3

Nighttime Chat (Genzou) - stop. The nice mixture of the violin and piano, in quite a dire situation they found themselves in. It gives such a nice calming and relaxing feeling. That even in dark moments, there's always a moment of comfort and peacefulness.

Breaching the Castle - Gives off such epic vibes for our three heroes, as they continue to push forward into the castle despite all odds and risks! >:)

Bucks and Hunar - ...Carrot, you fucking tore my heart out when using this track- Cause again, I bursts out in tears. The solitary- the soft yet menacing beats of this track is just- I can't describe the amount of sadness I had also felt with Bucks.

Cutting Down The Tree - LET IT DIE, LET IT DIE- *coughs* I mean- Uhm.

ANYWAYS, It gives off such a peaceful sound (halfway), which I think really suits that they can finally have their own peace of mind. And how the many wishes escaped the tree...was so perfect. Just absolute cinema.

Overall, I just like to say. Carrot. You are a mastermind of choosing the perfect track for each CG you have ever done. :)
