The man does not know from cheese. The man "ain't never seen no cheese but orange before" and "I showed ya list to the cheese lady so if it's wrong it's her fault ok?"

I am 80% sure she sent him there for a really specific bleu cheese, 40% sure he does not have the very specific bleu cheese, and 100% sure he's done with her shit.

Our flight is delayed.

Cheese man has been demanding payment because apparently he went like six hours out of his way and paid with his own money and between the cheese and price of gas, he is pretty sure he does not have enough money in his account for an Uber home.

The lady is FLABBERGASTED that he is demanding payment at all, as she was under the impression he was doing this for her out of the goodness of his heart.

"OR ELSE WHAT?"

"I'm gonna-? THE BABY SHOWER? MONICA CAN'T EVEN HAVE THIS CHEESE SHE'S PREGNANT!"

"The cheese lady asked if it was for someone because the mushrooms or whatever in the cheese are dangerous for the baby or something?? You wanna poison Monica?"

"WHY WOULD I LIE ABOUT THAT?"

"YEAH OF COURSE I GOT THE CHEESE, THATS WHY I DON'T GOT MONEY FOR UBER!"

"YEAH, GO TELL! GO TELL MOMMA I STOPPED YOUR STUPID ASS FROM KILLING MONICA OR THE BABY! FUCK!"

*hangs up phone*

*head in hands, borderline hyperventilating*

The man in the three piece suit is in the chair next to him. He waits a moment, then reaches into his carryon and pulls out an entire bottle of wine with the TSA pre check sticker on it, and taps cheese guy on the shoulder.

2. Cheese guy is crying a little about the cash and opening up about his problems. The cheese lady is his younger sister. Suit guy is being very generous with his Pinot Blanc. We are having a picnic/improv family therapy session.

3. This is apparently the latest in a long string of his sister asking for something and then flaking when he asks to be paid back. Started with paying him back only some of what he was owed, then claiming something she paid for him was of equal value when it was not, then recently telling him his memory is wrong and he said it was a gift or that he'd do it for free.

"Yeah, the specific thing of trying to convince you your memory is unreliable is called gaslighting and it's really fucked up." I say

"yeeeeah. The other stuff I forgave because she's never really had a good job so she can't pay me back all the time but at least she was making an effort y'know? But that was. That was over the line."

"If you haven't already, check on the rest of your family's finances. My brother started trying to gaslight everyone when he started stealing from our parents." Says Pinot Blanc.

4. Shiba Inu Lady has purchased a cheddar. Apparently, the dog's name is Donut, and he's her service dog because she's severely visually impaired.

"Oh, he's a guide dog?" Asks cheese guy.

"oh, no." She laughs. "He's too short, and the way my eyes are, it's easier for me to navigate with a cane. No, the problem I have is that some morally impaired people see the cane and think they can get away with stealing my bag or assaulting me because I wouldn't be able to give a description- which is wrong, but rather than deal with that I got Donut, and he helps me by howling at anyone who gets in my personal space and biting anyone who grabs me!"

"Uh." Says Kirigumi. "He's been staring at me do I need to back up or..?"

"Ohdear! No, no- He wasn't looking at you! He loves cheese but he knows he's not supposed to beg so he decided the way to deal with something he wants but can't have is to stare in the other direction."

"OKAY!" Says Kirigumi. "I'm wearing fox pajamas and thought like. He thought I was another dog or something."

"No, no- he doesn't care about dogs, and you get a warning before he goes for the calves. Very helpful, when I was living in Italy!"

"Oh what part? I have family in Tuscany." Says Pinot.

2. I know they're planning to continue because Pinot talked to the gate agent so he and cheese guy can sit together and talk about family drama and cheese.

3. Pinot has been teaching him about different types of cheese and how to enjoy them.

4. Cheese guy apparently repairs computers and other technology devices for a living and is currently doing the software version of scraping barnacles and other crap off Pinot'macbook.

Depends on what counts as a route... I actually JUST finished the outline for the story I want to make with Shadowtale, def more of a retelling of Undertale but I plop Shadow in there instead of Frisk and see what all hell breaks lose because of it I CAN SAY THO that the concept of save points is too tasty for me to NOT use in the AU :]

i added more random stuff to them and cleaned them up. I also added orange and purple.

funniest and more sensible options would be:

Will's favorite character is someone intensely obscure, like Karre or someone like that, and he will psychoanalyze and critique you on whatever your answer is to which Star Wars character you think is hottest. This information is SO important to him.

Kayla's is Kylo Ren because she's basic as hell (she knows this and is fine with it, she thinks it's funny) but also because Will hates that answer SO much and she thrives on tormenting her brother. He keeps begging her to pick literally anyone else.

Austin insists his favorite character is Weird Al Yankovic in his The Saga Begins music video and that it Totally Counts As Canon Trust Me. Will tentatively concedes on that one.

Inspired by him, Kayla's secondary answer is literally anyone from Spaceballs. Will also tentatively concedes on that one, because it is funny.

Nico's should be either Kylo Ren, because he's only slowly learning about the franchise through osmosis and appreciates Kylo's edgy aesthetic (and Kayla is encouraging it cause the answer annoys Will), or specifically Anakin to continue the jokes about Nico having a type.

(And honestly why haven’t I seen anyone else screaming about this??)

Have we talked about this??? Did I just miss all those posts??

Did y’all not loose your shit seeing this?? In the scene after the towers, the cutscene literally pans in on this broken gem (emerald??) stone?—and then the story just never addresses it. 0_o I thought for sure we were about to get new Emerald lore right then and there. And then we didn’t. My first though was that it would be a sister to the Master Emerald. Not sure that is the case, but like… what is it??? Why did they show us and then not talk about it. It has patterning like the black stone around the islands. But at first glance it reminded me of one of the blackened chaos emeralds from Unleashed.

I mean LOOK at that first screenshot from the cutscene. That looks Master Emerald sized, and shaped right?? The other angels look less defined, but still…. Whatever this shattered rock/gem was, it looks like it was important. It’s on a pedestal. Inside of a bunker (that honestly looks like a temple) which, per Knuckles’ observation has architectural connections back to Angel Island.

(0:29 in the video if the timestamp doesn’t load)

Currently on Ares Island and took straight to the internet to see if anyone else was surprised to see another Master Emerald esk thing! (Spoilers, people weren't) the fact that Knuckles said the bunker/ruins looked like the stuff on Angel Island AND there's an off-color Master Emerald inside, that's too much of a coincidence, I'd think.

Additionally, I decided earlier today to do a Big Fishing spree (ba dum ching?) and decided to prioritize the Egg Memos. They eventually sold out so I listened to them.

The fact that Eggman found out that the ancients are related to Chaos, it's really cool. But, and this is probably just me, I was always under the impression that Chaos was a powered up Chao.

So not only are there Chaos Emeralds that, prior to Frontiers, I didn't know had a similar origin to actual Chaos but it could also explain why the Chaos were on Angel Island? Did some of the ancients become the Koko and others, the Chao?

just to restate this, I still haven't finished Frontiers, as much as I hate to say it, lol.
