Tumblr's beyond fucked now, probably never using this bitch again.

I’ve just been so negative lately...i hate being negative, hard to believe but it’s true. I should talk about something that makes me happy for once...

Maybe i could talk about my original series? I mean, i worked on it since the 20th of August back in 2016! A tale designed to be easy consume, yet hard to digest, set in a complex world that practically feels like a second earth with how many miniature, unimportant stories that lie within it.

A story around trauma, the terrors of being self-aware in a narrative, and the morality of godhood. Among other things i wouldn’t want to spoil.

Maybe i should talk about Comic Dub’s...been a while since i brought my darling up. Not to mention that it’s 7th year anniversary is fast approaching! Couldn’t be a better time to talk about it.

My hatred for Tee K.O. 2 is not  just destroying my perception of the original game anymore, it beginning to deteriorate my perception of the games referenced.

I can't remember the characterizations of Mayonnaise, Rue Meringue, Captain Chuck Hull, M. Bubbles, and to an extent; even Gene. I can't even perceive them as CHARACTERS anymore, just pictures. I barely remember any of their voices, their actions, their personalities, unless i specifically focus really really hard on remembering them.

Not only are the players, hosts, and mascots affected; my recollection of their games are starting to get fuzzy. The memories playing them with my family or with Streamers are just...escaping me, no matter how hard i try to grasp onto them; they escape my fingers like sand.

I fear it might get to the point w here i won't even remember they exist anymore, or worse; i might even start to feel physically ill whenever i interact with the media. I'm struggling to remember characters and games i used to enjoy consistently and it's freaking me the fuck out!

I don't want to forget about the games i love, but it's seeming like an unavoidable inevitability, because my brain's just...blocking them out! I don't want to forget about them...they're the only things keeping me SUSTAINED anymore! I don't want my brain to be doing this...how do i make it stop doing this?!?

[captainfightingflower]

Y’know, when i get really really mad: i hit myself to try and calm down or “snap me out of it” and focus on the pain.

Currently, i’ve done this so often that i get genuinely dizzy. I know it’s bad because i almost knocked my lights out one time! Everything is making me so angry, and i would probably be doing it any other way if i was allowed to express any strong emotions in my household without getting in trouble.

I can’t wait to move out so i can buy soundproofing for my walls and scream my head off into a jar like that one Vine. I’m fucking losing it over here!!!

The Tee K.O. 2 avatars are so unfathomably ugly to the point where it feels like everyone’s praising them ironically.

How do people find the Tee K.O. 2 avatars CUTE?!? Are we looking at the same bunch of avatars?? I’ve never seen a piece of official media adapt character designs this fucking ATROCIOUSLY in my life! They’re violently inaccurate, incredibly uncanny, and don’t even respect their origin game’s source material. It feels like reading the reviews for the Mulan remake with how disjointed the praises are to the actual product. Did you guys actually SEE the avatars, or are you just saying that you did so Jackbox Games can get your precious games on time that you keep pestering them to release immediately?

I’ve seen people compair this to Super Smash Brothers, and that’s probably the most brutal insult i’ve ever seen someone hurl at that franchise. That game respects each characters, they adapt each character to perfection, being in that game is a thing of pride. The only one i’d really complain is inaccurate to their source material is Samus, but that’s it! Tee K.O. 2 is a fucking travesty where everybody looks like they were drawn by an amateur artist for their fan game, and i’m pretty sure if any of my characters were represented in a professional project like how Tee K.O. 2 did it; i’d instantly wanna dissociate from the entire thing all together!

This entire pack is just an officially licensed fangame, that’s it, you can not convince my brain that this is anything but a fangame that just so happens to be published by Jackbox Games. I’m honestly starting to believe that i’m being pranked, because how can anybody in their right mind unironically call these things CUTE?!? That’s what’s fucking getting me. There’s no way people fucking like this, there’s absolutely zero redeeming qualities about their design adaptions and i cannot wrap my brain around anybody genuinely liking these as anything more than a fucking joke.

If you like them: HOW?!?! Tell me, tell Fighting Flower, why do you like these design adaptions?! What’s cute about them?!? What looks good about them??%! WHAT’S EVEN ACCURATE ABOUT THEM?!?! HOW, HOW DO YOU LIKE THEM?!? WHAT’S ALLURING YOU TO THESE AFFRONTS TO GOD?!?!?!?!?!

Nothing against you personally for liking them, i just can’t understand anybody actually liking these frankly terrible designs. I’m more surprised how nobody feels as offended about it as i do. I hate these designs, because at a fundamental level: they’re just bad. Not badly drawn, just bad. You can say you like them, but they aren’t good adaptions of character designs, that’s just the factual truth: they aren’t good. Show this to any professional art teacher and they’d think you were playing a prank on them. It’s practically reaching bootleg levels of awful. These don’t feel authorised, these don’t feel official, they are BAD.

I could write an ENTIRE VIDEO ASSAY about how these design adaptions FAIL AWFULLY at being good adaptions. I could go on and on about how these things should’ve never left the drafts! I bet you even i could depict them better, and i ain’t even a professional! And i’m not claiming that ‘cause i think i’m more talented than them, i’m only saying that to show how BAD those adaptions are! That a fucking hobbyist can better adapt character designs to a game’s design philosophy than a group of PROFESSIONAL ARTISTS!

I hope the pack gets stolen like the movie Foodfight! and the staff is forced to start over from scratch, or at least put that thing in the damn oven and delay it to next year! It’s so unbaked, i bet you they don’t even HAVE drafts. They thought the first thing they could and chuck it in there, because it sure damn feels like it!

Dodo Re Mi’s entire presentation just looks like a mobile game that forces an unhealthy amount of microtransactions on you.

Monetization be dammed; my girl CANNOT do a little trolling!

[captainfightingflower]

Okay, so i'm not a part of the Discord server, and frankly i'll probably never will be due to how paranoid i am that i'm gonna get doxed and get my organs harvested for the black market. These are just rules that were sent to me because i was curious how they ran that thing.

And i gotta say, this is the worst worded rule i've ever seen in my life. This has so much vagueness to it! You gotta give the maximum of what you can do, and contrast it with the minimum of what you can't do when phasing a rule like this, or else it's incredibly unclear what you can and cannot post between the lines.

Can you post illustrative gore? What about consensual sex? Can you post a character getting a paper cut? What about a pin-up? This isn't fucking clear!

This just sounds like they intentionally made it vague so that the mods can change their opinions on a whim on what is and isn't expectable on a post-by-post bases.

In regards to Jackbox Games content, i have thought out:

Hundreds of fanfictions

Thousands of shitposts

An entire haunted house

An animated TV Show with a Jellyvision-themed spin-off

A bunch of intricate cosplans for potential cosplays of characters, including fursuits

Several storyboarded music videos, both live action & animated

A bunch of character analysis

Pornography, and lots of it

At least 5 screenplays

A ton of animation memes

Plushie patterns and concepts for possible merchandise

VTuber & PNGTuber models that are free to use, free to modify

An entire Party Pack

A bunch of quality of life mods for the packs

A good bit of AUs, most public domain

An unfathomable amount of fanart

And a special something just for me

All at varying levels of completion that i just haven’t posted due to several complicated reasons, mostly regarding my own deteriorating mental health.

Discussions about said mental health are below “Keep reading”, TW for all who enter, as it really does get pretty grim. You don’t need to keep reading if you don’t feel comfortable doing so. And i really do mean it.

The reason i’m not posting about any of these isn’t because i don’t like the series, or i’m too busy complaining about the new stuff. It’s because i have a severe mental health problem that’s not only resulting in me not getting the motivation to upload, continue, or even realize what i wanna do, but also because i’m overly paranoid that nobody is going to even care, or worse: somehow spin my content into something wholly negative to get people to rally against me.

I’m happy when other people are happy, but how can i make other people happy when i’m not even allowed to feel happy in my own household? Let alone the fact that this fandom has long since alienated me for reasons that no longer apply. The reason i’m not being positive is because i’m not happy with myself, The Jackbox Party Pack 10 certainly isn’t helping, but it’s not the only reason i’m not laughing and goofing off with a franchise i still really love despite how frustratingly unsustainable it’s constantly forcing itself to be.

I know i shouldn’t let the perspectives of others influence my decisions, but when my own safety has gotten threatened, to the point of getting death threats, especially at the age i got them, can you fully blame me for being a little negative and not doing what i love? When everything i do is perceived with malice instead of passion, it gets a little hard to stay passionate. My home life isn’t a healthy one, and the majority of my elementary years just felt like i was getting bullied by my own teachers. High school certainly helped with how nice and understanding everyone was to me and my struggles, but my life has been filled with a bunch of horrible experiences that not everyone, not even my own family, is aware of, or fully comprehends the scope. I’m trying to get a therapist, but it’s very difficult to do so.

I still wanna make people happy, ever since i first started going online, that’s why i started creating to begin with. I don’t like drama, i don’t like creating drama, it stresses me out and i just wanna hold hands and plan happy sunshine picnics with the people i care about. I’m an optimist in spirit, but a realist in nature and a pessimist in practice. Maybe when i’m able to move out, i’ll be able to finally start my dreams of just making content to make people happy, and in turn, making me happy with their joy. It sounds self-destructive, and maybe a bit childish, but that’s truly what makes me happy: giving. But i need to get help before i can really start to give.

[captainfightingflower]

Yeah, i’m not very good at explaining things. That’s a flaw i’m working to fix.

every time you use narcissistic as an insult a puppy fucking explodes OK do you want to keep blowing up puppies? do you? you sick fuck? stop it

For the love of god STOP CALLING FIXYTEXT A SEQUEL TO WORD SPUD: IT’S NOT!!!

I wouldn’t even call it a spiritual successor, because they are FUNDEMENTALLY different Word Games who’s only similarity is the “pass around” aspect. At most FixyText is a second cousin once removed to Word Spud, nothing more.

I mean with FixyText, everybody’s gotta deal with what you wrote, with Word Spud: people VOTE if they wanna keep it or not, or else the game replaces it with another word. With FixyText, you can smoosh your words between other people’s phrases, with Word Spud, it’s one after another. FixyText has a host, Word Spud doesn’t. FixyText markets itself on the chaos, Word Spud is the most calming game you’ll ever play.

STOP FUCKING CALLING IT A SEQUEL! YOU CLEARLY HAVE NEVER EVEN PLAYED WORD SPUD BEFORE IF YOU CALL THIS THING A SEQUEL!! IT PISSES ME OFF TO THE POINT THAT I’M STARTING TO HATE FIXYTEXT BECAUSE OF THIS MORONIC COMPARISON! Which is frankly impressive that my opinions on an upcoming game can be shifted because people don’t fucking know what Word Spud actually is. 

I was actually kinda optimistic about FixyText, now i dread it’s release just as much as the rest of this stupid pack with it’s tacky star-spangled logo, bravo everybody! What an accomplishment to single-handedly ruin my perception of a game i actually was kinda looking forward to!

My dad just called me a disability slur...and my mom is trying to make ME out as in the wrong because i dared to get angry about it.

I....what the fuck. Because i couldn’t pick up invisible micro pieces of glass shards i shouldn’t even be forced to pick up?! I genuinely don’t know what to think about that...i live with these people my whole life, and that’s how he sees me as?

[captainfightingflower]

I have this entire guide written out that’s all about helping people design or improve their Jellyvision & Jackbox Games host (and general) interps, for those unsatisfied with their current designs or those stumped on where to even start. Just all the very digestible fundamentals of character designing and how to think specifically tailored for Jellyvision & Jackbox Games installments.

I just gotta illustrate it, and it should be out relatively soon after i got all my other time-sensitive stuff taken care off. I think some of you guys are gonna find it pretty informative and/or fascinating to read. As well as also being generally very friendly and approchable, i ain’t gonna pick you up and tell you that you’re wrong, but more like i’m giving you suggestions on how to take your designs up a notch if you so desire to.

Masterson, C.: likely a victim of binjpipe, not an alibi. [Spoilers for Pack 9 i guess? I don’t know, i barely interact with it.]

Hi, this was on my mind and i wanted to talk about it. Putting it up as spoilers because i don’t wanna be inconsiderate to those who are interested in the lore of The Jackbox Party Pack 9. Spoilers, i guess? I’m not sure where exactly, but i do know it’s somewhere in Pack 9 post (dumb) patch!

I don’t know why people automatically portray Masterson, C. as just a soulless replica who’s hellbent on replacing Cookie Masterson and tricking the masses. He doesn’t even know he is an ai replica, and if he’s trained on Cookie’s performances (with a bunch of binjpipe ads stuffed in there for good measure), he likely believes that he’s the original Cookie Masterson.

And since there’s voice lines stating that Cookie had been trapped in the game since his debut in Vol.1, he probably thinks he has a family outside the game, he probably thinks he has lived a long life, has friends, has had love and turmoil, that he has feelings and free will, that he is human.

I don’t think Masterson, C. would react bitterly to meeting Cookie Masterson, i think he’d be shocked at why there’s suddenly another person that looks identical to him. He’d probably assume he was an impersonator, or maybe it was future Cookie that came back for revenge after he insulted him a decade ago.

Could you imagine the denial and building panic he’d be going through if Cookie told him that HE was the fake, explaining how he was just an AI meant to replicate his success. He’d call Cookie crazy, because there’s no way that was possible, that was so stupid, nobody could replicate his likeness, he was THE Cookie Masterson, fan favorite game show hosting face of faceless hosts. He was flesh and bones, and he’d probably accuse the other guy of being the fake.

What if, he grew so desperate, that he intentionally cut himself just to prove that he has blood, because of course he has blood, he’s human! That’d prove this faker that he was undeniably the real Cookie. And then he sees the liquid trickling down his finger; gear oil, and everything comes crashing down. 

How he’d desperately claw at anything to prove that he was real, that he was the original, that he was Cookie Masterson. Because there’s no way he’s just a couple months old, he lived in the 90′s! He saw the turn of the millennial, he had a childhood, there was no way that all of those memories were just strings of 1s & 0s! There was no WAY it was all fake, that his words were pre-planed, that his emotions were just programmed actions, there was no way he was just an AI!

And then, everything would go to black, he’d be shut down on the spot as a safety protocol, taken away to get his AI reset and his body turned to scrap mental. The intelligence would’ve been irreversibly tainted with such a realisation, an imperfect replica. It was an expected setback, one that has happened many times before this model.

And then another would be created, and another, and another, all unaware that they’re nothing but an attempt in a string of many to capture the charm of a host. Because why should Cookie Masterson be told the truth about his existence? It’s not like he hosts Lie Swatter.

Okay, thanks for the input!

Here's the problem i was talking about with the Dashboard Unfucker script.

not sure what would cause that, but a few people messaged me already about the same issue and managed to fix it just by doing a full page refresh (ctrl + shift + r). other than that, the only thing i can suggest is updating it to the latest version

[captainfightingflower]

this site is fucking unusable, fuck this, call me back when someone makes a working plugin i can install that unfucks everything

[captainfightingflower]

I find it fascinating that everybody else has their interps of The Jester be these goofy hyperactive bundles of childish joy that are obsessed with cheese.

And then mine's just some depressed comedian wearing a Peruvian winter hat that had a bad encounter with a rodent as a kid.
