#like ik it doesnt seem like a lot of content

[ghostlycleric]

For those of you upset by the lack of official st5 content in the new date announcement, I suggest you go watch the season 3 date announcement on Youtube. We ate so good with the st5 one. They upped their game significantly.

St3’s date announcement was a singular minute of cryptic nonsense (blue meets yellow in the west hints), and that was it. There were no characters shown in it. No real st3 footage. It was just a hint towards the Russian code which no one had context for at the time.

And st4’s was literally just a letter from the Duffers. I tried to find an accompanying piece of content but found nothing. So st4’s date announcement had no footage at all.

In the st5 date announcement we got like 30 seconds of actual clips from st5 that give us little hints into groupings and plotlines as well as a glimpse into the look of st5 itself. Plus during the flashback sequence to past seasons we got new voicelines.

That was a FANTASTIC date announcement. We got so much content. They basically put a teaser into the date announcement. And now we have room for a teaser or maybe even multiple leading up to October/November (by October anything we get’ll likely be a trailer and not a teaser).

ik everyone in homestuck is related at the end of the day but im surprised it wasnt UNTIL NOW people are starting to realize that the prospit family + peixes are related despite the fact it was one of the most obvious ties between two families or i guess one big one. not to mention the comic does frequently bring up their relationship like constantly calling the condesce a mother/grandmother/great grandmother to the prospits. even after killing the condesce karkat gets mad because he has to accept john as his supposed new ruler now because he is meant to be (one of) her heir(s).

its so interesting too like the main character and his family are related to one of the most relevant and super cool influential antagonists in the entire story and a lot of the symbolic ties between them. and then the fandom for some god damn reason didnt realize they are related until now or you have another side that still doesnt wanna acknowledge it just to defend some shipping that isnt even canon. i hate the absolute missed and untapped potential a lot of the fandom missed out on. yes there is some old content depicting the fam at times but its just not enough especially for characters just that major and big.

even the handmaid and doc scratch have more family content and fanart over the years and people care about that ancestor less than the condesce. was also gonna bring up dolorosa and signless too but the reason for that could be as you said karkat replaced john as the homestuck poster boy and kanaya is one of the poster girls and they are paired with two of the strilondes so people would focus on their ancestors more.

Doesn't help in the base webcomic themselves, said Egbert/Harley/Crocker/English barely get to have a deeper connection with some of the fuchsiabloods like Feferi or Meenah. It seems like there was going to be something big between Jade and Feferi, even after said troll died. But nothing came of it. John did meet with Meenah in Act 6, but they don't do anything that big together as it was Vriska leading the way. Then, of course, there's the missed opportunity with Fefetaspritetalking with Jane. Closest we get is Jake beating the shit out of Meenah. I'm not sure if it even crossed his mind that he is beating up someone who is his stepmother and in her current self as Meenah, she would be like his sister or cousin. Even now in HS2/Beyond Canon, Fefpetasprite is there, but she is reduced to never saying actual words and not confronting with Jane Crocker in the Candy Timeline. Neither Meenah or Jane, or Jake acknowledge the other side as their sister/brother or cousin due to both having strong ties with The Condesce. Not even Tavvy realizes that his aunt and mother are fighting. Ah, but you forget that Karkat gave up following the Signless of being a leader. So he is not part of the Vantas family with The Sufferer or Kankri anymore. All Karkat needs in his life is his boyfriend Dave. Nobody else.

since you did this for me….

these are two of my favourite characters from project sekai, they’re from different groupe. give me what you think of their:

—age

—personality traits

—genre of music they thing

—their motivation to make music

—whether they’re canonically unattractive or attractive

—an abnormal habit you think they’d have

—anything else you might want to add!

PERSON 1:

name: hmm she seems like a Rachel to me, or a Veronica

age: she does look quite young, i wanna say maybe 15 - 17?

personailty: hmm she's either rlly nice or just rude. like if shes nice shes the sweetest ever, like she's the type of person to start a convo first, on the other hand, she does seem like the arrogant type, like the type of ppl who u say to them that "youre rlly pretty/handsome/fine" and theyre js like "oh ik" n dont say thanks

genre they sing: pop maybe? like upbeat stuff, she kinda seems like someone who would sing music similar to artists such as PinkPantheress, LE SSERAFIM, Gwen Stefani etc

motivation to make music: i feel like she gets random bursts of energy whenever, like even if shes motivated for only 30 mins she could create a fire song in that time. She probably does make music as it comes naturally to her, its a talent that shes refined since young

attractiveness: hm i feel like canonically she would be seen as attractive, like everything abt her seems bright n ppl would be drawn to that ig??

abnormal habit: hmm idk abt this one too much so im js gonna say she probably is a chronic nail biter, wears fake nails to cover them up

other info: she seems like the type of person that everyone would fall in love w, but she's oblivious to the fact n is kinda dumbfounded when ppl admit this to her cos she doesnt see all those ppl romantically (maybe aroace or js doesnt get crushes easily??)

OKAY NOW THE NEXT PERSON

PERSON 2:

name: i thought that she seems regal, so id say her name would probs be Diana or Annabelle? (or shortened variants of Annabelle)

age: she seems a little older, i wanna say 18 - 22?

personailty: loner? like she probs has a couple close friends, doesnt seem like the type of person who wants to actively make friends, shes content w who she has rn

genre they sing: hmm she has srs loser vibes, like lose lover girl vibes so she'd sing stuff like d4vd, maybe Tame Impala? TV Girl and Current Joys asw

motivation to make music: she seems resilient, like no matter how tired or burnt out she is, she'll dedicate some time everyday to work on her music. I'd say she's driven by the need to prove herself and make smt of her life.

attractiveness: idt shes conventionally attractive to other characters?? like i feel as if theyd be put off by her being closed off, she could come off as rude or just really introverted, so they wouldnt make an effort to get to know her

abnormal habit: she seems like the type of person to keep sentimental things, like shes not a hoarder but she will keep a lot of stuff which are relatively useless, such as old clothing that doesnt fit which she doesnt wanna get rid off that maybe a family member gave it to her, or like cool items/gifts she was given that have broke

other info: she seems very meticulously organised! like shed have a colour coded calendar for friends, family, doctor's appointments etc

listen . i knowwww that people joking about the drama is the least of our damn worries and it is no where comparable to people who are actively spreading misinformation, but it's pissing me off because it makes the entire situation look like pointless drama when in reality the situation is a victim whos been pushed and prodded at for years finally snapping and hitting back just to be harassed and gaslit for it

and i appreciate that they dont get anymore involved in that but it makes the whole damn thing seem like petty drama when its actually a massive smear campaign with slander and harassment and filled to the brim with ableism and homophobia.

^ i know im being a toxic and emotional drolo. give me 5 business days to be normal again and wrangle in the rsd .

okay i have a lot of thoughts bottled up but another thought is about the video, seen some mixed thoughts about the video and tbh i originally was on the side of, maybe not release a video, but nopee ive fully switched now i think he should make one. the "behind the scenes" shit has gotten way out of hand and has been festering for years, i dont think ignoring it is going to help and will only make everything worse. i mean we're getting shit as recent as late last year with the coldi and fein.bergs friend thing, the rumor mill is horribly active and i really think that leaving it alone is going to make things worse. like we see it taken care of in bits and pieces but i really think the entire thing needs to be dismantled instead of slowly disproving things at a time as they come up.

Especially seeing how many ccs outside of his immediate sphere are weighing in against him almost certainly because of misinformation. ik that those ccs "dont really matter" because they never made content to begin with, but also being a cc means networking. not to mention that it just fucking sucks to have people believe blatant lies about you and think youre an awful person because of it???? like why let them continue thinking that if you could do something to disprove it?

like idkkkk call me an optimist but i trust that he knows what hes doing. with the truth video people were saying he shouldnt put it on main but him doing that worked out wonderfully for him + him holding off on saying anything publicly because of his legal teams advice really didnt do him any favors and him choosing to publish a video(which i think is what he originally wanted to do?) is what finally cleared up his name. idk im just not a youtube expert and dreams certainly proven that he knows what hes doing when it comes to navigating youtube so i'll trust him on whatever he ends up doing.

this feels a lot like december 2023 to me where, a controversy involving dream happens(gumball) -> dream does a stream and explains what happened (parkour stream) -> he gets clipped out of context + the situation explodes, practically everyone is against him (we all saw the tweets and threads that were coming out then 💀) -> dream releases a video -> people flip massively

and this controversy doesnt necessarily cover something as "serious" as grooming allegations, but he still has a lot of vague and not so vague bullshit hes being accused of (trump supporter, misogynist, "bad actions in the past", generally manipulative ig?? etc etc.)

dunno if dream will cover the rumor mill stuff necessarily but drolo for life, i trust his instincts

I'm not sure if any requests are open so you don't need to answer this if you don't want to! But I can't stop thinking abt San having an absolute RAGING breeding kink LIKE IK YOUVE SEEN THE WANTEEZ EPISODE YOU CANT TELL ME HE DOESNT WANT KIDS this is absolute brainrot for me 😵‍💫😵‍💫

ATEEZ Most to Least: Breed Kink | NSFW

⌛Pairing: ATEEZ x Reader/You/Yn ⌛Rating: NSFW. Mature (18+) Minors DNI. ⌛Genre: MTL, headcanon, imagine, smut. ⌛Warnings: mentions of children, pregnancy, contraceptives.

⌛Sexually Explicit Content: discussion of breed kinks.

🗝️ Note: Hey anonie, my inbox is always open for rankings, headcanons, imagines or just general conversation! The only thing I am currently firm in not doing is actual fic/drabble requests. Unless I get inspired by something you send me. But uh...you came to the right person 😌 kink sans wanting children.

Disclaimers: This is a work of fiction; I do not own any of the idols depicted below. 

Park Seonghwa Hwa screams it everywhere. Man loves children, he's trying to husband up HJ left and right. Hwa loves feeling entirely connected to his partner during this experience. He might not be the most vocal, kind of lost in the sauce. But definitely gives your body lots of appreciative slaps and grabs.

Song Mingi Listen...Leo's live on the wild side when it comes to sex. Mingi doesn't necessarily want kids. But man, he loves watching you become submissive and breedable underneath his large body. He doesn't mind you being in control, but when you're exploring this side of your relationship his dominance really kicks in.

Choi San Do you even need to watch San interact with kids, as much as he babies Woo? San falls into a similar bucket as Hwa, he loves the intimacy that a breed kink brings to his relationship. But San is also melting under the additional stimulation of being to feel his partner completely wrapped around him. He is the whiniest one when getting to explore this kink, v vocal and enjoys every minute of it.

⤴️ these three also love you being pregnant with their offspring, the sight of you and what they did makes them kind of feral. Very attentive and incredibly touchy throughout your whole pregnancy.

Jeong Yunho As an Aries with a breed kink who doesn't want kids myself��this is currently Yunho's exact mindset. But he absolutely loves the intimacy that the kink brings. But the maknaes of his team already exhaust him. So he's making sure you're at least on some form of birth control or grabbing a morning after pill just in case.

Kang Yeosang So Yeosang was initially below Wooyoung but I rewatched the kid dance relay and the man was so whipped for the kids. I think he has the kink, just because of how much he seems to enjoy skinship (sans kissing). Cannot imagine him declining the removal of barrier between him and his partner.

Jung Wooyoung While I think Woo might entertain breeding, he is not looking for any children at the moment. He's still too much of a kid himself. But Woo screams hopeless romantic and he's willing to try anything to make his partner happy.

The next two might adore kids, but they don't want any for themselves (at least right now). They are incredibly careful when it comes to contraceptive. No breed kinks in sight. ⤵️

Kim Hongjoong He's the super cool uncle, that babies you and brings you all the gifts. but at the end of the day he's tired and ready to return the kids to their parents. He's got every single variety of contraception you could imagine. Latex allergy? He's got an alternative to that.

Choi Jongho Like HJ he has big ahjussi vibes, but the uncle that plays with all your toys and absolutely causes so many problems that he also gets in trouble. He's not as crazy as HJ when it comes to preparation, condoms or birth control satisfy his nerves.

roier doesnt actively seek out social interactions much cus he doesnt wanna speak a lot of english so he keeps conversations short.

This makes a lot of sense, has roier ever talked about it before? I've wondered how he feels about being one of the only regularly active Hispanic ccs on the server

well i have bad memory but FROM WHAT I REMEMBER hes never directly said anything about it. after some observation ive noticed he’s one of the qsmp creators that sticks the most to speaking their native language. its rarer to see him speak english on the qsmp than spanish. which is why purgatory was so wild. he was speaking english 24/7. though he didnt stream most of it. (due to being sick. i have a feeling if he streamed it he would’ve spoken spanish more) regularly on the qsmp he tends to chill on his own especially when he was building bobby city he talks to chat and donos a lot.

ik he’s makes jokes about being one of the only active hispanics like when he saw pepitos certificate for the first time he was like oh come on im basically a single parent none of these people log on😭 but he’s never outright said This is how i feel about it. he doesnt seem to mind. he always reminds his chat to not go into other cc’s chats telling them to log on the qsmp cus thats weird and disrespectful. so theres that. i do give roier so many props because he and pol and occasionally quackity are the only active spanish speakers. i would imagine thats kinda tough if you’re making spanish content and lack people to make the content with but roier makes it work really well and genuinely seems to enjoy playing on the server. plus he has the admins and cellbit. MASSIVE SHOUTOUT TO CELLBIT TBH. he also carries the spanish spoken percentile on the server.

ig thats why im so spiderbit heavy on my blog. i love the ship and dynamic but what really pulls me towards them is the fact. they actually are the few people on the server that make the effort to speak my language

marketing anon again :) ig you were referring to me?

so i want to preface this by saying that even if jude is or isn’t reading tumblr/gossip pages directly, his team is relaying what is being said online right back to him. a part of a pr team’s job is to conduct audience research, find out how his target audience feels abt certain situations, and take the best actions based on their findings. so what i am saying is they are very likely keep tabs on what we’re saying.

at the pr dinner, they most likely spoke about how they were going to make denise and ashlyn look cordial, attempt to change the public’s opinion abt the relationship, and jude maintaining a good relationship with fans. and im going to be honest, i think his pr team is incompetent. they should know that the overexposure of this couple could lead to media fatigue and it honestly already has, just look at the daily mail article comments and instagram replies. now ik that the daily mail’s pages are a breeding ground for hateful comments, but for his team these comments are indicative of how the general public feel about his relationship. “why is are they lurking and listening to gossip pages?” for the same reason. the general public isn’t tuned in or giving feedback about this relationship like we are, so as of rn we are the sample representatives for how the general public feels. and based on this sample, everyone is over it.

if i were on his team i would tell him to stop trying to force the narrative. it reeks of overcompensation, the need for public approval, and uncertainty on jude’s part. he needs to learn that you can’t manufacture virality, none of the articles trying to fix the ashlyn and denise side-eye narrative have went half as viral as the original incident. it seems that he doesn’t want to fully claim her until he’s 100% sure that the public will like her and truthfully that will never be the case. first impressions are extremely important and once the public has made up their mind about someone, it is extremely hard to change (some celebrities are still trying to get rid of their old image from years ago to this day). how the public meets you, is usually how they remember you. everyone learned about this girl in january, its april now and no one’s opinions have changed.

this press run with denise and ashlyn is tired. who’s the couple? it must be denise and ashlyn bc we’ve gotten more pics of them together than ashlyn and jude. his team needs to be honest with him, we know you want to have a good image surrounding your relationship, but the public does not like this girl and they do not have a reason to like her at all. it doesn’t matter how many staged photoshoots you take, people will create their own narrative. ashlyn is spotted with denise smiling = “notice how the mom doesnt trust her alone with her son.” jude is smiling in a picture with ashlyn = "look at how hollow is face is, she’s draining the life out of him.” (and like i said before, she’s not giving any content to change anyone’s opinion. she posted like i said last time but girl post something showing personality. be a little goofy or artistic hello??? the public has nothing to go off of except her being a gold digger.)

this has gotten super long and i have more to say, so i might make another ask but they all need to take all need to take a break from the pr shenanigans. its way too much atp.

oh yh a lot was asking about you 😭

so the general consensus is that they will never truly be liked by people online and the forcing of these articles are making it worse and opening them up to more backlash so they need to just log off and either enjoy each other without the pr or move on

it doesn’t even take a genius to recognise their methods aren’t working 😭😭😭😭

About what 🩵 anon said, and what you said, ik nobody asked for my opinion, but I believe fred will likely move on from the academy like mick did with alpine and i have a feeling merc might take pepe... it would not be fair at all for rb to drop him, but he's had sh*t luck in his f2 season and we know rb aren't too kind on their juniors not performing. And they probably already have arvid and ollie goethe moving up, so i doubt they want more than two-three juniors in f2 like they had 5 in 2022. plus tramnitz is likely to come through in 2026 after doing another year in f3 so... about fda, maybe they pick up fornaroli or christian. I don't see christian in ferrari red, but i also don't see fornaroli in ferrari, but surely he has to be picked up by an academy, being f3 champ and so on. How many f3 drivers do you think will move up to f2? The top 6, right? Any thoughts on anyone being dropped by their academy?-❤️

ooooo pepe in merc? very interesting… i would not be opposed 🥰 but yeah as much as i love pepe (with my entire heart), it doesnt feel too likely for him to remain in rbj, considering their history with their juniors. especially if we get like really technical abt their current status: iwasa, lawson, h*djar, marti, goethe, tramniz, lindblad… and they only have four f1 seats, AND theyre very reluctant to let go of any current-day drivers…… (plus i wouldnt be too surprised if they were to go for a more experienced driver soon)

chris in the fda would be super cute 🥺 but idk, the fda seems to wanna build their juniors up from when they're babies… not very common for them these days to pick up drivers in the higher categories :/ but yeah fornaroli is bound to go somewhere, not sure where tho!! but then again, his championship win wasn't that impressive. no hate to him, but with no wins and five other drivers in contention for the championship in the last round… and pretty much only winning because christian decided not to get involved and just go off track instead…. 🤷‍♀️ and even not doing it in his rookie year, idk. but also interesting how only arvid was a rookie in contention for the win, when last year we had gabri and paul?

as for drivers making the move up… very hard, but (if they have the right funding, then) i think there can be a lot of f3 drivers moving up, considering how many of the 2024 f2 drivers im assuming are moving away. leo yes, gabriele yes, luke pleaseeeee, arvid yes, dino if they can work out his funding (seems kinda alright ig but seemingly not with a top team), chris i hope?, ollie yes… then idk? tsolov possibly? i really really want seb to move up too but idk 💔

and the academies… i dont wanna think abt it too much because my heart will be breaking

[star-sim]

hiihii, 🦊 anon back here !! Im gon be info dumping u the shii cuz u said u were invested, but if u dont want to readall of it I completely understand cuz like I wrote a whole ass shii 😭😭

--------

okay so like there's thay copycat, let's call her P !! technically, she's been a friend since last year, but I didnt really consider her as one cuz she mostly talked with my other two friends from our closest friend group n like nobody else. (we're a group of five without her) She sorta randomly appeared, but I ofc didnt mind cuz its always nice to meet new ppl n make new friends yk ??

(extra thingy for this year => one friend changed schools to another city, another doesnt hang out with us anymore but does online, n then there's another who isnt in the same classes so we only see each other during breaks. so its just me n another friend, (let's call her F) she's has been my closest friend since years ago so far !!

Okayokay now on to the real shii; since the new school year, P asked the school if she could be in the same class as me and F (because we're always together). so practically, P is also my classmate now. BUT !! I've noticed she favours F more than me, which doesnt bother me much bc we all have preferences at some point 🤷‍♀️ HOWEVER its getting a bit uncomfy because she's slowly been like starting to copy me and seems to be trying to exclude me to get closer to F ever since school started

Im insecure about friendships, so I get jealous when I see F paying more attention to P than to me (at least Im self aware 😞) oh, abt the copying part, I have a list to explain omllll !! for instance, I have an online school timetable with a specific colour palette (we have our own from our school's app but I'd like to use my own [another one] cuz then its a widget) she saw it and asked about the app n then the next week, she did the same thing with the exact same colors for each subject ?? Its not a big deal, but its abs noticeable.. like I get it u wanna use the same app cuz Ik how handy it is but using the same colours is starting to become extra .. then theres the school stationary, especially the pencil case and highlighters. I have a clear see-through pencil case and pastel highlighters (so coquette) n after two months or somewhere around that, she got the same ones. AGAIN, not a huge deal, but then she started comparing highlighters and saying she should have bought the same ones as me (?? Girl tf) Its frustrating because she's indirectly indicating that she wants to be or have the same shii as me 😭 n I dont like that. Ik some ppl do but I jst dont

Another example is my headphones. I have specific ones (JBL I lub em sm), n in December or smth, she also got the same ones but in pink (I have black ones) Its not about the headphones themselves tho, but the fact that she claimed we have the same ones when they're CLEARLY different. It's a fcking pattern, even with little things like a pocket mirror that she suddenly wants after seeing mine ?? 😭 "oh, I want to have one too now n use it like u" *proceeds to buy n never use it anyways* 💀

oh oh, then theres the issue of her comparing grades (no like wtaf) my average is at least 70%, which Im abs content with, but I wish I had more motivation to study m improve 😞 ahe studies n has an average of 74%, which is great for her ofc !! but she constantly YAPS abt having higher grades n being smarter, not realizing the difference between being book-smart n actually intelligent like girl theres a diff between the 2 yk 😭😭

P is actually fcking starting to get on my nerves, especially after half a year of this bs .. the friend who changed schools was like the mother of the group, n I miss her a lot (she's coming back next year tho, yippie !!) P seems to be trying to exclude me from the friend group n from my bestie F :( I havent told anyone else cuz like Im afraid theyll jst think Im overreacting, but I did confide in T ( the transfer student friend, lets call her that !!), n shes on my side (duh ofc cuz she also noticed from last year how she only sticked to F) but I dont want to tell F herself cuz I dont think she'll believe me. I used to feel happy and comfy being myself before P joined in, but now I feel like Im constantly being criticized n copied :// Its even worse bc she made fun of my cat's name !! (Like, I told her my cat's name cuz at one point we were talking abt cats n I told her I had gotten a new one that summer. atm she was doing that gossip whisper thingy to somebody else n when I told her that she had to be honest and confess she was making fun of my cat's name she went like "ohhhh, for a cat name !! I thought a human name" n then fake smiles omfl ..)

------

ANYWAYSSSS, TAKE CARE 😽 love ur fics Istg I dont think I'd survive here w/out ur writings Im not joking 😭 ur fics r like one of the only ones that I'd even WANT to read no matter the 10k+ wc (thats a lot for me n I prefer short ones, but ur longer ffs r like TOP TIER MWAH)

-🦊

oh girl ur stronger than me bc P would make me yell....

u and F are like for-lifers.... the friends that you keep when things change are the ones that you need to CHERISH FR

i think ur like 100% valid for the friendship jealousy, i get SO jealous too ur like real for that. like looking at these individual examples it doesn't come off that P is trying to copy you.... but when you look at it ALTOGETHER as ONE BIG MASSIVE PICTURE.... yikessss

i cant stand P sorry... like the excluding thing is making me seethe

AND THE CATS NAME THING WOULD BE MY FINAL STRAW GIRLLL STAY IN UR OWN LANE

i don't think ur overreacting, ur like 100% valid for this one

i am SO on your side

imo i think it's important to talk to F about this... and if she does not react well then drop her!!! if your best friend cannot take your feelings into consideration then that's not good!!

i'm glad that you like me fics btw!! it means a lot <3333

thanks for stopping by 🦊 anon!!! mwah mwah love you (and lmk if i need to air raid P)

[lustenthusiastmainx3]

Had to rewatch the last episode from the 2nd season so i'm on the start of the 3rd now, but i gotta say:

The way Shiro dissapeared was way too fucking random??? He JUST formed a bond with his lion and now he's gone??? Ik there was some foreshadowing with him talkihg to Keith but. That was so goddamn random??? I wish they didn't do it, but if they HAD to do it, at least they could've done it differently bcs that was honestly such a shitty execution :|

I didn't feel shit when he dissapeared, AND SHIRO IS CURRENTLY MY FAVORITE, i didn't have time to feel something, they just yoinked him and now I'm just. 🧍‍♂️🧍‍♂️🧍‍♂️🧍‍♂️🧍‍♂️

Would've been better if they made him dissapear now on the 3rd season since there's prince Lotor (and he seems like a manipulative lil' shit, good for him), Like idk, there could be a fight, Shiro ends up fainting with a serious injury somewhere and no one can find his body omce the fight is over. Could work if the ppl wanted him to come back later too! But making him just EVAPORATE like that?????? What.

Anyway, just a quick rant because this part left me completely baffled.

YEEEAAHHH LOTOR!!! (hate that guy too)

nah but yeah, the way they made shiro disappear in cannon is very lacklustre, I honestly forget how little it makes you feel(?? with all the angst fics I have read when it comes to it, its also just season 2 and like yeah its at the END of s2 it still doesnt lead you to feeling a lot for it (honestly i feel like one of the reasons for this is bcuz we never really get to see the paladins out of battle or a mission, we know shiro as the leader and responsible one but hes also cannonically very silly:( and the only way we know this is bcuz of extra content like the books and things ppl involved with the show have said ) like i loveee these characters but i want more of them than just them under pressure and a high emotional state (thats keith's only state of being tho with him being emo and all) the show suffers from this a lot unfortunately <//3

[yeetushaitus]

yeah no lichan i love u but the artists did u dirty😭

there was only a 6 month gap between the end of season 1 and 2 and a YEAR gap between the first episodes of seasons 1 and two and in s2ep13 they acknowledge the fact that the bts was an absolute mess but but. the first screenshot is from the first season man :(( like was it too hard to use the lasso tool

the art is a little jank but tbh it doesnt bother me that much and the animation in the first couple episodes especially was impressive like. i was genuinley shocked when i rewatched the first couple episodes after finishing the show bc the animation for even s1ep4 was great

but. whoever thought it was funny to make mozart hit on kanae and MARI ESPECIALLy need to be BANNED from writing holy like. r u serious. and before u argue "oh its a cultural difference" MARI IS 7 YEARS OLD OMGGG as a japanese american i can say most japanese people do NOT find 7 year olds attractive even in a fictional setting and like on a broader point ik the whole mesugaki or whatever thing exists and thats weird!! mesugaki miku is weird!! news flash: having a thing for kids, even if theyre fictional or not actually kids and are a 4000 year old dragon, is weird!! even if youre japanese!! stop normalizing/justifying it!! the whole "cultural difference" thing has always seemed to me like an excuse for that behaviour and writing when its NOT!! it just feels like a way for western fans of japanese media to explain away the weird parts of media they like so they dont feel as bad abt liking it when you SHOULD be vocal abt how weird that is!! if you really love smth, you have to acknowledge all the parts abt it that suck ass

and ON the subject of motsu and kanae can we acknoledge how weird it is that the show also has beto liking kanae?? i have NOT seen enough ppl talk abt how WEIIRDDD THAT IS and the part i hate the most is that its played off to be this like "aww hes embarrased and shes oblivious isnt that so cute??" thing and it would be if kanae wasnt IN HS ALSO SHES LITERALLY A FRESHMAN IT SAYS SO ON THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE

google translate being right for once?!?!? the sidelining of some of the mcs, esp the girls, suckss like obv my fav is liszt so i go looking for liszt related content!! all the time i have a whole folder of just liszt but she only has 4 focus episodes and im just. rlly sad like. i get that for the joke bada has 1 episode to herself and only 1 musik but tchaiko only has 2 musik peices and theyre both from the first season?? like. r u serious and honestly tchaiko might as well be canonically transmasc so can u even say that shes a girl mc also just to mention him schubert also gets sidelined quite a bit (again its also part of his bit but i personally wish we got to see more of him) kanae is the mc and i think shes given quite a lot of depth and most definitley a lot a screen time which i think is good but not only do i think that i think thats its unfair that the female classicaloids dont get nearly as much screentime and as many pieces as the guys (even ignoring beto and motsu, cho chan gets 6 and bach gets 5), they also only gave the only characetr to be based on a female composer 1 peice?? sure, if u wanna keep the bada one hit wonder bit then go on!! like i respect the dedication to the joke but if ur making new clasicaloids for season 2 then PICK ONE OF THESE GUYS ik @deadcactusman has alr gone more in depth on wagner but like. u couldve made any one of these guys instead of wagner im just sayingggg as a non music history nerd even i know like clara schumann AND LOOK HOW MANY POP UP WHEN U SEARDH

also just an opinion but i think its always fun when they play the original music in the show like schubert's first 2 musiks and the liszt boxing edisode where they play 2 of liszt's songs im not a classical music listener but i am a classical singer?? what do you call that so i appricated when they included masu god that ladys voice was SO beautiful also bring classical music straight to the audience!! sure u can have these crappy remixes but if you want to maybe have the audience appreciate classical music more then you need to show it to them bc chance r theyre not seeking it out themselves

if u read this far ty for reading my unhinged rambling🫶🫶🫶🫶 have an amazing day

I apologize for not having new stuff, I'll try to post something soon.

But I was wondering if anyone has critiques or suggestions for the show itself? I want to hear your thoughts!

Not something such as "oh, the show should have a 3rd season!!" but more of things that would improve the show's quality. I am aware most of you want another season! There is no right or wrong answer, please stay respectful with other's opinion.

It could be something like "they should have a more consistent art style", "the pacing is too sudden for season x episode x", "x's design looks odd", "the scene from x episode is unnecessary", "some of the scenes are repetitive and not unique"

[vintage-bentley]

ik they arent even in the trailer and their story is done but im kinda bummed out thatin the good omens tag basically nobody is ever talking about the them or the human characters anymore like they make up most of the book and half the show but always get the side lines in fandom content :/ like ive never seen an anathema focused piece of anything shes always like crowleys bestie or something nobody cares to explore a female character deeper than is shown in canon like raphael doesnt exist in canon and yet had more people explore his intricacies

I’m guilty of this too, and I think aside from regular fandom tendency to focus on a ship and let that be all that matters, A/C’s story is so interesting and unique that it outshines the others.

But I love Anathema! I really like her storyline of following something for her whole life because she was told she has to, and having to navigate not having that guide anymore—after choosing not to have it. I wish we got to see how she deals with going about life without knowing what comes next, I can see it being a great source of stress for her. And it would’ve been neat to see it paralleled with Aziraphale going through something very similar, now that he’s abandoned his trust in Heaven. I saw a post a while ago talking about how both human couples were mirrors of A/C—Newt asks questions of Anathema’s unwavering faith and helps her to leave it behind, just like Crowley does for Aziraphale. Shadwell ends up with somebody he’s supposed to believe is an embodiment of evil and sees he was wrong about her, just like Aziraphale does with Crowley. That was really interesting to see and I have a feeling that season 2 will do the same thing with Maggie and Nina (of course I hope they’re more than just mirrors of the male characters).

But as far as fandom goes, I have to admit that I understand wanting to focus on A/C since they’re the most interesting. It does annoy me though, that Anathema often falls victim to the typical fandom treatment of female characters, where they only exist to mother the male characters. In fan fiction she tends to be the voice of reason and the “smartest one in the room”, which seems great because yay a woman is smarter than the men…until you realise she’s only “the smartest one in the room” because people can’t imagine a woman being silly and fun, only responsible and maternal. I think so much more could be done to explore her whole conspiracy theory thing.

As far as the trend of her being Crowley’s bestie, I think it’s cute, but it feels like people reduce her to being a “goth bestie” and don’t really pay attention to her interests. I feel like she’d really get along with Aziraphale and they’d bond over interest in/knowledge of books of prophecy. I’m sure Aziraphale would be absolutely fascinated to hear from an actual descendant of Agnes Nutter, and despite having left the descendant lifestyle behind I’m sure Anathema would be eager to share her history with somebody who’s knowledgeable and interested. Like imagine you dedicate your whole life to following in the footsteps of a historical figure that not many people know about except prophecy enthusiasts. And then you meet the enthusiast of all time. That would be exciting!

And, y’know, I’m sure she’d be more fond of Aziraphale over Crowley, considering A’s the one who healed her and treated her kindly while C didn’t care that he’d hit her with his car and instead focused on un-denting said car…

That being said, I’ve found that a lot of content with her being friends with the husbands, especially Crowley, ends up treating her like set dressing. I’d make a feminist analysis of this, but tbh I notice it with all the human characters, so I don’t think it’s specific to Anathema because she’s female. It’s possible it happens to her more though because of it.

Anyways. I agree it’s sad that the other characters don’t get much attention! They’re great, especially Anathema and Pepper who are my favourites. But like I said, I get it, when they’re up against the competition that is ineffable husbands.

Redtail’s debt (mostly) rewrite concept ideas.

Okay so I skimmed over Redtail’s debt the other day, and GOD I was just never a fan of the writing in that book. Redtail’s character is super generic and like they just chose a random “protagonist” personality for him, the pacing is strange and fucks up the timeline a LOT considering Darkstripe nor Longtail are even IMPLIED to be conceived, and that doesn't even mention the terrible straight-up MISTAKES of Ravenpaw’s behavior and Oakheart’s death. 

Honestly my biggest gripe is his and Tigerclaws dynamic though. Tigerclaw in the first series is implied to be someone that EVERYONE trusts, someone who is noble and that people believe in as a good cat to trust their clan into (considering he became deputy, and clearly had enough of a reputation to become shadowclan’s leader). I don’t like how obviously evil he behaves, and how he seems to have a track-record of being violent and unnecessarily cruel (Acoording to a windclan cat in the book) . And I especially dont like how Redtail is characterized as naïve and is so obviously taken advantage of, and how Redtail grows to become hateful and distrustful of Tigerclaw despite the whole situation of that intending to be super unexpected and shocking. IDK I just think it’d have more depth if there was no “mistrust” involved, because we know how it turns out already, it just becomes boring if the characters themselves predict it.

Though warning i briefly mention spottedleaf’s heart around the beginning. However the contents of that book are never mentioned and only really referenced in regards to timeline issues I have.

It’s RLLY long just a warning. also srry for bad grammar and typos and rambly text.

Though do tell me your opinions! Let me know anything that is weird about my idea or anything that is GOOD about my idea! I’m not an experienced writer at all so I’d appreciate critique! (I do love to just discuss about it)

First off, while I’m not opposed to Willow/Red/Spotted all being siblings, I don’t like him being younger than tigerclaw like that. It’s not THAT big a deal but he’s implied to be super respectable, and it just makes not that much sense that Bluestar would pick a younger warrior over an older warrior. and more POINTEDLY I don’t like Spottedleaf being in that same litter bec that would imply she was super old by TPB T_T.... I’d probably just remove Spottedleaf from Redtail’s debt or just make it so she’s a kit during later in the book, rather than being of same age (they can still have the same parents, maybe it can be noted that Adderfang and Swiftbreeze are old and spottedleaf’s litter is gonna be their last litter (Which I know would mess with the timeline a bit since they retire, but its not that big a change I dont think? Or at least something that cant be fixed with other changes...) Spottedpaw doesnt do much in Redtail’s debt so it’s not so much a problem in here rather than in Spottedleaf’s heart. I could put him in Leopard/Patch’s litter but I’d rather not since I dont like him being older than Bluestar either/or that much older than Tigerclaw.

I do prefer Tigerclaw being younger than Redtail though, Ik it doesnt make much sense in line with bluestars prophecy but whatever we can just pretend like thats changed (as in redtail’s litter randomly being born at some point during then before Tigerstar’s, Tigerclaw’s birth would stay the same in the same time) --- It’d also work with some Willowpelt context I have in mind but I’ll get to that later

I’d basically swap the dynamic, Redtail being an older apprentice-near warrior age at the beginning of the book, and Tigerpaw being a newer, younger apprentice. I’d give him “YS brokenpaw” syndrome (i didnt care for that being brokenpaw’s personality anyways like its not terrible but whatever) and he’s SUPER eager to train and battle and be overly enthusiastic and eager to prove himself to his bitchy mentor thistleclaw and because of that he speaks out and misbehaves a lot.

My main idea is rather than the painfully obvious storytelling in Redtail’s debt where Redtail is naive and Tigerclaw saves him and then Tigerclaw makes him do evil things (which, I do not like that TIGERCLAW is specifically bad. It fucks up the first arc where it was “unexpected” and everyone looked up to him and wanted him to be deputy. like its just so blatant like give us subtlety pls)

Anyways but like instead of that I’d make it so TIGERPAW is the one who first gets into trouble, whereas Redpaw would be the one to save him -- Tigerpaw is shocked and angry he couldn’t save himself but Tigerpaw would tell Redpaw he “owes him one” and is gonna make it up to him one day

Then in another chapter there’d be a timeskip, Redtail becoming a warrior, this chapter would be mostly “fluff” parts (or it would just be giving stuff that leads to the next “action” part) But Tigerpaw reminds Redtail that even if he’s a warrior, that Tigerpaw will still make it up to him and to not forget his promise-- Redtail brushes this off though as he sees it as Tigerpaw just being young and not serious. It could note how old his mother is and how she declined being an elder or something

But after that it would eventually lead into a cat-battle, probably Riverclan related, and there would be some action moment where Redtail worries about his old mother and struggles to find her and assure that she’s safe, Only for Tigerpaw to save him and help him save his mother (Maybe he can also help redtail by helping him carry her if shes wounded or smth idk) And it basically ends up with Redtail being proud of Tigerpaw (Who could become Tigerclaw here actually because I dont think Tigerclaw’s warrior ceremony was ever given much reason other than them two just being warrior-aged, it’d be good for Tigerclaw’s reputation context in the first arc if he actually did more “great” acts) and it basically gets to Tigerclaw being like “I told you I would pay you back one day.” And Redtail being like “Thank you Tigerclaw. Whatever debt there was between us has been repaid honorably. I’m proud to call you my clanmate.” sort of thing blah blah. 

Note: A concept idea I had is that younger-Willowpelt is characterized similarly to Rosetail’s place in BP, being boy-interested and as an apprentice stating how she’d love to have kits some day (like beyond typical degree though), I thought of maybe keeping that old “Tawnyspots is Darkstripes father” concept but the relationship would be like a Nightcloud situation where she simply dated a much younger (though adult), unrelatable Crowfeather because she wanted to have kits--- I imagined it being gossip that Tawnyspots wants to have kits before he dies ((but it wouldn’t go in depth of their relationship, I don’t imagine Tawnyspots was actually in love with her but he wasn’t distant or abusive about it. It’d just be one of those things that are like “oh that makes sense because X” that are mentioned only in passing))-- though since it happened within a timeskip Darkkit’s father could go unnamed. Moving Red/Willow’s birth to before Tigerclaws would make this work more so that Willowpelt at least gets to be a warrior before Tawnyspots dies.

But then another timeskip and Willowpelt gives birth to Darkkit, probably just being the only one of his litter because tragedy is uneeded here, and Swiftbreeze also turns out to be pregnant around the same time (which cats could gossip about how old she is ig bec warrior cats are rude) --- ((Though actually I might make it so she has kits a little later, but not by that much))

This point is a little bit more cloudy in terms of my thought process, but I imagine whether it be a battle, or kit-danger, Tigerclaw saves Willowpelt and Darkkit in another intense *redtail scared for his family* moment, which would lead up to an interaction being like (not literally this is just what im coming up with) Tigerclaw: “I’m just repaying my debt. I’ll never forget how you saved my life Redtail.”  Redtail: “Your debt has been repaid. I promise, Tigerclaw, I’ll pay you back for all the times you’ve helped me, as you’ve done for me. Let’s consider this a debt of my own.”

(So which is what gives the title “Redtails debt” more depth up there ^^^ Also note at this point it wouldn’t be acknowledged but Tigerclaw’s kindness is now more “building up his reputation” rather than him being a nice person. like manipulatively he’s acting super noble)  And Although after this would leave an opening for some more plot (maybe some sort of fallout scene like the original RD had, but rather than it ending with Redtail not trusting him I think I’d make it so Tigerclaw ties it up much better and Redtail still trusts him MAYBE something like there’s a sunningrocks battle and some character dies because Tigerclaw tells him not to give up/end the fight-- though it wouldn't end with Redtail not trusting Tigerclaw or hating him), But even from there it could have the timeskip to the prequel sunningrocks battle, Ravenpaw actually acts like Ravenpaw, I’d prefer to show off more of the younger apprentices then bec thats cute and iconic, and Redtail as a “death flag” moment where he reminds Tigerclaw that he’ll pay him back and never forget his debt. Redtail DOESNT kill oakheart, and as Tigerclaw kills him the last words Redtail hears from Tigerclaw is “Consider your debt repaid.”

lee!charlie and ler!quackity, that is all,, since charlie doesnt know much, quackity teaches him what tickling is and charlie is just enjoying it sm

Discovery (creative title ik /s) summary: charlie doesn't know what tickling is, and quackity is more than happy to teach his friend about it. a/n: lee charlie slimecicle my beloved. *holds him gently* warnings: i think like one swear word LOL w/c: 1.6k DSMP, Platonic

~

“Quahackity s- stoHOHOP IHIT!” Purpled wailed, kicking his legs out behind Quackity who was on top of him, his fingers relentlessly scribbling into a sweet spot right beneath Purpled’s ribs. “But I’m having so much fun, Purpled! We’re just getting started.” Quackity sneered, cooing as his ‘victim’s’ laughter grew an octave as his nails skittered against the sides of his stomach.

“Noho we ahaharen’t- NONOHOHO Q- QUACKIHIHITHIHIHIY!” The boy screeched when a long raspberry was placed over his waist, small raspberries then peppering across his belly to reach his other side.

“You’re more ticklish than I remembered! Huh, this is good news- well, for me at least.” Quackity snickered as he watched his friend trash under him and smiled to himself as high-pitched cackles tore through the room.

In the room next door, a fellow named Charlie was deep in thought studying the new machine Sam built in the Casino. It would be a lot easier to think if he didn’t hear bloody murder in the room next door, though. “What is all of that about? Is someone in trouble?” He spoke to himself, peeking out in the hallway to make sure the coast was clear.

The worried boy glanced inside the room he heard all the yelling from, only to see his two friends... wrestling? “Are you okay?” He called out, Purpled about to yell for help before Quackity drilled his fingers into the sides of his belly. “Yeah, all good in here, bud!” The one clad in a dark beanie grinned widely. The slime hybrid nodded; as curious as he was to what they were both doing, he went back to trying out the new machines Sam had worked hard on.

Eventually, the laughter and yelling died down and Las Nevadas went back to calm (well, as calm as it gets). Charlie was still curious and seeking answers to what Quackity was doing to Purpled, as it looked quite fun as he learned quickly that laughter is a positive thing friends do together.

He walked around, peeking in each room he came across until he stepped in front of the door of Quackity’s office. Charlie knocked on the door, smiling as he heard his best friend inside. “Can I come in, Quackity?” He asked sweetly, excited to see his friend. “Of course, come in!” Quackity smiled fondly, permitting him.

The door flung open, the boy running to Quackity to pull him into a hug. “Alright, alright.” Quackity laughed, unfolding Charlie’s arms that were tight around him. “Okay, I’ve been thinking. Very hard, in fact. What were you and Purpled doing earlier?” Charlie asked straight to the point, pushing his glasses up that was a bit tilted from the tight hug.

“I was giving him a piece of my mind for trying to cheat against me in a game of cards.” Quackity chuckled softly, organizing more papers on his desk. “Cheat?! That’s no good!” Charlie put his hands on his hips, tilting his head down to look at his friend. “And that’s exactly why I tickled him.” He smiled up at Charlie.

“Tickled?” He asked, putting a finger to his chin. “You don’t know what tickling is? Ohoho…” Quackity devilishly giggled, then cleared his throat. “I mean- I can show you, but at your own risk.” He offered, the slime hybrid immediately shaking his head excitedly. “Don’t say I didn’t warn you though! Alright, can you lay down over there for me? It’ll make it easier.” Quackity motioned towards the couch in his office.

Charlie obliged, practically skipping towards the soft couch and laying down. “This should be fun.” Quackity thought out loud, before going over to Charlie. In all honesty, Quackity is expecting Charlie to either not be ticklish because hell, can a slime even be ticklish? Or just dip out immediately, because that’s what most people do when tickled.

“Reeeady?” Quackity drew out, wiggling his fingers over Charlie’s sides. The confused boy nodded, moving his hands out of the way. Right as his fingers made contact with Charlie’s sides, he immediately squealed and laughed out. Though, as he squirmed out of instinct, he never tried to squirm away.

“Ah, so you are ticklish!” He exclaimed, his fingers drumming against Charlie’s upper ribs. “Ihit- *hic* feheheels fuhuhunny!” Light-hearted laughter poured out of the hybrid, the sensation new but it honestly felt nice.

“Yeah? I bet it does. How does this feel, though?” The casino owner sniggered evilly as he fluttered his nails down his ribs, then tracing into his waist. “Feheheels nihihice…” Charlie’s sugar-sweet giggles filled up the room. Quackity paused, sitting up with an eyebrow raised.

Charlie stumbled on his words, stuttering nervously. “I- Is thahat a bahad thing?” He panicked, still feeling the sensation of a few fingers continuously wiggling around his side. “No- no. It’s not, definitely not. It’s endearing if you ask me.” Quackity smiled down at his friend, putting his other hand to use and gently squeezing his hip. Happy laughs emitted from Charlie again, untensing his body as he enjoyed himself.

“Charlie- I do have one question, though.”

“Whahahat is ihihit?”

“How many ribs do you have? Y’know, as a good friend I need to make sure that you have all of them.”

“I dohohon’t k- knohohow?” Charlie giggled as Quackity playfully clicked his tongue and shook his head, properly straddling him. “I’m gonna count them then, alright? If you dare push me away then I’ll have to start alllll over, got it?” For emphasis, Quackity dragged his nails down all of his ribs and wiggled them along Charlie’s lower ribs.

Charlie nodded, his laughter growing as excitement overtook him. Quackity internally ‘awwed’ at the sight, but not letting himself get all soft as he massaged his fingers into Charlie’s lowest ribs. “QuahAHACKITY!” The hybrid’s laughter grew as his friend’s hands slowly rose to his ribcage, starting to feel more and more sensitive.

“Charlie!” Quackity playfully retorted, looking up at Charlie’s face then cooing at the sight. Charlie’s cheeks were bright green, and his hair was messy and disheveled, while his glasses were crooked on his face and tipping off his nose. He was adorable, to say the least.

“N’awww, is somebody having fun?” Quackity teased, a smirk growing on his face. “Does somebody love the tickles? This is so much fun!” Charlie swore he felt something flutter in his stomach. Is that what butterflies were that everyone talks about? The name matches, that’s for sure.

Wanting to be honest to his best friend, Charlie nodded as his face grew an even brighter hue. “I’m so glad, I could honestly listen to your laugh forever, y’know.” Quackity chuckled as his fingers finally reached near the top of Charlie’s ribs. His laughter grew hiccupy and squeaky, a sweet spot being hit.

“It’s sohoho… hahahAHAPPY!” Charlie squealed as fingers continued to vibrate into his top ribs. “Happy?” Quackity asked, tilting his head. This boy was going to be the death of him, Quackity decided. “YEHEHAH! HAHAP- *snort* HAHAPPY!” Charlie nodded, smiling with content.

This went on for a bit until Quackity thought that Charlie deserved some sort of ‘Grand Finale’. “I think I know someone that wants to meet you, Charlie.” Quackity tittered, his smile growing. “A nehehew friehend?” He smiled excitedly when Quackity nodded. “Yep! It is I, the tickle monster!” Quackity said in a booming voice, wiggling claw hands at Charlie.

“Wh- where’s Quahackity?!” Charlie’s eyes widened, staring at who is now apparently the ‘tickle monster’. “Whahat did you doho to my friend?!” He panicked, Quackity unable to keep up the act as he burst out laughing. “Don’t worry Charlie, it’s me! I was Quackity the whole time!” He giggled, smiling at the relaxed sigh from Charlie. “You scared me, friend!” He exclaimed.

“I’m so sorry, let me make it up to you.” Quackity smiled, sneaking his hands up Charlie’s t-shirt to dance his fingers along his belly. Charlie couldn’t stay grumpy for long as his adorable giggles started up again, filling the room with the feeling of fondness and happiness.

“Hey Charlie, out of curiosity- do you know what a raspberry is by any chance?” Quackity asked, pausing his fingers. “N- Nohoho? I dohon’t think soho!” He tilted his head like a curious puppy, making the other chuckle to himself. “Alright, prepare yourself then.” Quackity laughed before leaning his head down, earning a confused look from Charlie.

Before Charlie knew it, a raspberry was blown right in the center of his belly, the vibrations from it shooting through every nerve in his body. “QUAHAHAHACKITY!” Charlie convulsed, his back involuntarily arching in surprise. He felt Quackity smile into his stomach before blowing yet another raspberry. Another shriek escaped the hybrid, gently pushing at the tickler’s head.

“Quackity are yo- oh. Alright.” Purpled paused in the doorway, his antennae drooping down a bit in surprise at the sight, and sound in that fact. “Oh, came back for round two, bud?” Quackity raised an eyebrow at the boy in the purple hoodie, his antennae immediately flicking up. “No, I am not doing a stupid round two, you ass. I came for revenge, obviously!” He sassed, crossing his arms.

“Alright Charlie, how about I teach you how to tickle someone, yeah? Seems like fun?” Quackity urged, smiling at the slime hybrid. “I get to make my other friend laugh? Yes! Teach me, Quackity!” He excitedly sat up and approached the alien, who decided to bolt.

“Alright! Step one: the chase. Pretty straightforward. Let’s catch him!”

some misc thoughts about modern horror (especially indie horror video games & internet horror [such as args and whatnot])

tw for discussion of horror topics obv and also my very biased opinions

[please note that my interests are usually peripheral to this stuff and I don't actually consume almost any of it, but I still have opinions on it bc I am an opinionated bitch]

rant under cut

it seems to me that a lot of modern popular horror media follows the same general trends and themes & that this has been happening for the past decade or so

those themes in question being 'sick and twisted horror under the guise of innocence'

this has always been an element of horror obv its not like fnaf invented the idea of making a children's thing creepy but its definitely had a rise in popularity in the past few years

in part bc of fnaf

and now you see it everywhere, its the most prevailing theme in modern horror media.

its in horrible steam games called 'bimbaps playtime' its in every new arg that comes out its in fucking yandere simulator its in everything you see and because its in everything you see there's nothing else interesting

and yes there are interesting things to do with this concept but when its all that's being done then the amount of things you can do with horror based on children's media

like I genuinely thing having horror based on children's media and this pretense of innocence limits the depth of theme you can actually go into bc ur limited by the aesthetics of 'childrens media but with blood'

bc even when you're twisting it into something dark and evil and horrific its still in some capacity got the trappings of children's media. it's limited by the fact its pretending to be something else and that's ugly

and its not like this sort of theme cant work well I mean. religious horror (which I am a huge fan of always) typically does the same thing but with jesus instead of chuckie cheese but idk it works better IMO there's more u can do

its like. we get it. the children's thing is secretly fucked up bc of whatever reason its seems like theres nothing there its just lame

also body horror gets extremely more lame when its a plush/puppet/toy/whatever instead of an actual human being with actual guts. miss me with all that symbolism shit it just doesn't pack the same punch

the inside of a build-a-bear will never illicit the same visceral reaction as actual legit intestines

[little side note obv horror doesnt need to be gory to be effective but theres something to be said about how the lack of actual violence against humans tones down the horror]

[little side note 2 I am mostly referencing the welcome home arg with this point and also fnaf and those are 2 separate things bc I'm pretty sure that imitation gore is not what the wh creator is trying to do with their story (their project actually seems pretty well written for this genre) and ik fnaf has actual gore but its lame and all kinda the same concept IMO (machine stabs u or whatever) also I hate fnaf and all the terrible things its done to this genre]

these projects seem to be lacking some of the things that make horror such an evocative genre. things such as themes. and social commentary. and things that are actually scary instead of just jumpscares

it all just seems so vacant and stupid and I also hate the culture around having to dig around for the actual secrets of a story. arg culture has done a lot for internet culture and unfortunately that is one of the annoying things. the actual plot of ur thing should not be hidden in ASCII art in the code of ur development blog

idk man I guess I just cant take ur horror concept seriously when the thing I'm supposed to be afraid of looks like a funko pop

the genre just seems so confining rn and I know that's bc this sort of stuff is extremely popular bc it appeals to people who want lighthearted stuff in addition to horror content but its just so fucking. lame.

horror for children is lame and bad. its too violent for children and too simple for adults (at least adults who enjoy actually thought out stories) and all the horror that's really popular rn is. pretty much just horror for children

TLDR

cj innsjovide is pissed off bc modern horror/horror for children lacks themes and stories bc its. for children. also fnaf still sucks
