Mostly Reblogs Here
3K posts
A sideblog. If you want specific stuff tagged feel free to bug me about it! This is...Mostly Borderlands and TF2 but you might find other stuff here, Primarily dragonball as fandom resurgence hit me like a sledgehammer, occasionally others. Check my 'Fandoms and Tagging' section on the bottom of the page for notable fandoms; Inconvenient placing i know. I will also (albeit very rarely) post stuff. (I also seem incapable of reblogging stuff in a timely manner. Sorry)

forgot i had dnd yesterday and squandered my last day of decent internet (whoops) Weeelll i wouldn't quite say it was fully squandered but i once again stumbled into the character creation dillemma that was 'went into it with an halfassed idea then pulled an entirely different idea out of my ass because i clicked on something i didn't intend to click on'
To be fair i was fretting over the OC i had in mind being too oddball but its nice that im not the only person pulling funny/silly/slightly odd concepts out my ass here. (since we are playing a series of small running mini-adventures while waiting on shit to be polished for other games or things get polished and tweaked if we decide to do an epilogue for the one that kinda recently ended)
I hate how i cant play most of my OC's because its impractical or ill fitting for the setting or shit that wont fly or would take basically commiting more than 'adaptation to new setting' surgery given how the hell i worked shit for my setting since dnd is far more loose leaf than 'SO there s several modifiers and factors that determine who has access to what magic' and most spells just feel so utterly impractical and weird to give that i would rather make up some poor fuck on the spot and roll with it because plopping almost any one of anyone else in one of my brothers best friends game is literally a 'and this is steve' scenario. For once though, i would like not to be the healer though. It is not the first time also that i started as the healer and ended up with more hit points than the party tank. Druid is different from cleric, heals are taking the side shelf but next time im going to outright say 'before anyone does anything im not going healer make of that what you will' straight out the door lmao. Outside character creation stuff if things stay calm enough i might be able to start chewing at w.i.p's again before vomiting out the words to finish them before i get overwhelmed by to much going on at once too often always in stupid wonky ways and the resident grouch 'its fine if i do it but not anyone else' starts nattering on over stupid inconsequential shit who hates it when people say irrelevant shit but the shit that comes out of that old ladys mouth makes the dogshit bad faith tldr but made my own assumptions piss on the poor shit that happens on this website look not that terrible actually.
I could go into why but it could easily be summed up as holy shit this is the baby cordial version of most of the reasons why as a teen i rarely talked' cant even make a neutral observation about the weather or the grass being mowed today, or asking if the mail guy had been yet without copping shit, its fucking unreal. I don't even need to be talking to her she'll just come up butt in and start being a idiot all over the place not just to me but probably also whoever the fuck i was talking to.
#Turquoise Talks#that said i also avoided my laptop afterwards due to other shit i tried to d earlier pissing me off due to an incompatibility.#Sadly the best news i have on the cat front is 'well he is alive' since with me bopping between two households there is not a snowballs--#--chance in hell we will be able to afford the vet bill.#unfortunate but as optimistic as my father is i dont think he realises the dog he had in a similar boat had a v/ different problem of a v/#different nature and severity.#so its definitely been a case of too much going on despite seemingly not much happening.#like even without the other little things we still wouldn't be able to do it because we have to keep covering my brothers incompetent ass.#which wouldn't be a problem if it didn't happen so ridiculously often.#and unfortunately the best job at my disposal that would take me wont take me b/c id do my job instead of caring about status quo.#be for real.#like i though what my experience was over a decade ago was a fluke ad a slip on the mind because i managed to walk kinda fine but limpy on#--incredibly fucked up ankle so it was a slip of the mind.#but no they were always that bad by that point an had only got worse.#definitely the kind of shit that is all 'if my alcohol tolerance wasnt fucked i would see if getting blind drunk would be enough to make--#--me forget about the extent of my dissapointment for a night' but given my track record when me 'n the irl crew drinks.#well.#id probably end up with alcohol poisoning and still be just slightly more than a bit buzzed.#im the only one who has never had a hangover despite trying thrice out of curiosity.#maybe my pickiness saved me lmao.#that said its not like i know r dont care but we are lucky to have savings at all ever with the shit my brother fucking pulls.#ever.#so i aint being fucking critical about it lightly.#how we havent ever been homeless over the past decade for his shit has been a very real threat at least twice.#so such an vet bill is all 'yeah all things considered this is cheap for surgery but by the time we scrounge up enough its going to be--#--be needed for bills' type scenario perpetually forever until the poor sod bites the bullet anyway.#its ot that i dont want to hep the poor man but if i give up the unit im back to why i left again.#Which is: brother is an inconsiderate prick who expects everyone to live at his convenience and gets upputy about ME not leaving the house#when im lucky to even get ten minutes of being home without his face being here for ten minutes...in a three month period of time.#then complain when im all '???? your here ore than the cat is??? grow up i will leave if you d the same first for me one day for an hour'

Okay its official this year just LOVES to hit me over the head with a frying pan for old things i used to like but never dipped my ties into fandom for because i oft never did because kid!me had a hell of a lot of viddy games to play on top of fandom shit even if i remembered to look them up. Outside the 'egads between watching stuff with IRL friends and sibs' thing i keep getting asked 'you want to play viddy games???' and im all 'yeah i have time' and this is the first time since i have been home that i opened tumblr at all (whoops) Like i know teh only reason i ever got to talk about DBZ as a kid even a LITTLE was it was popular but it definitely explains why a LOT f shit never stuck to memory properly because i learned from that experience as a seven year old that??? as a 7 year old nobody is going to be prepared for or want to have in depth discussions on shit that breaks deeper than surface shit and i just had to silently suffer while going 'thats okay we can talk about something else then :)' about shit while trying not to be TOO passive aggressive about it because hell hath a little kid acknowledge shit thats not 'oh wow cool fight' or whatever.
So i suppose on that note i probably have an 'has watched actually' anime list a mile fucking long but don't remember shit because i actually never got the opportunity to breathe a few phrases about before getting told they didn't care because it wasn't all cool fights or sunshine and roses. Given recent happenings this week id be all 'heeeyy maybe i should re-watch that???' but honestly placing bets on if i had actually watched just a bit or most/all but my swiss cheese memory means i have forgotten the true extent of it would and is a reliable disappointment sometimes.
But between all the shit that people have failed to get me into for easilt a good 10-15 years actively becfire one of bmy brothers exes succeeds by accident because 'well if this is the third time she had considered MY inbox the safest way to yammer on about the things she needs to get out of hey system i will heavily consult a wiki on everything this time if it s simple stuff thats too tedious to ask her to explain so i can better engage in conversation' and... make a whoopsie several months later.
But at least this time it was 100% my fault deciding to shove something Trigun related in peoples faces, but based on what i was like as a kid and the uhhh peculiar outlook on things certain characters have i can see why kid!me would of thought of it fondly.
But folks i was once again not expecting the frying pan because i forget how much easier shit gets when im able to actually engage with other people at the same time when watching a thing.

Okay its official after selecting random ass shit based on what i REMEMBER i literally just coincidentally have a soft spot for too many idiots who don red coats. (affectionate)
Its funny how this took the form in something i barely remember, tossing between the OG thing and a spin off that is more manageable for a brief period of time while i am home to chew through. And for my brothers best friend to go al 'this is cool but when you think about it it is actually REALLY fucked up and sad actually' within the first few ep's no less and it took us two nights to finish something that was wrapped up in two cd's because my brothers best friend couldn't stop yapping on about DMC parallels that came t his mind that got my brother yapping but on the flip side i cannot avoid any responsibility because in the moment i took the bait when he kept bringing up FFVII nonesense.
...still not as funny as me going 'well SINCE it doesn't seem to be happening here this is why he had such an high bounty in the original' then voila the tail end of the last episode....ah. Awkward. Its really nothing to write home about but it wasn't too bad, a few fandom jokes that i have been seeing on the icebergs that float by occasionally because im utter dogshit at seeking out fandom stuff makes more sense now.
But even if we had to keep pausing SO MUCH it took us two fucking nights to get through the whole thing it was worth it though just to hang out with peeps at home and be distracted from doing what i was ORIGINALLY home for outside just getting away from a dinky ass unit. But it definitely jogged my memory why i had a softness for the OG series as a kid even now even though i remembered jack shit until shit jogged my memory even if it was different. Kid!Me was all 'yeesssss' probably primarily because at that point i had spent all my life being told things are this way or that way and a more nuanced character in that particular direction probably would of cemented an forever soft spot even if i was too caught up in other things at the time to cement it a proper presence in my head forever. Like i probably wont ever like it more than i would the original if i ever rewatched (or read) it but??? It did stand on its own feet well and seemed pretty cohesive for what it was and did a decent job. Was likeable at least.
#It would be a lie if i said i never had a hunch why though.#Probably counted as one of the few things i knew was anime when i sussed it out type shit#but would of never got to talk about for the very reason my brothers bff said it was 'really fucked up and sad actually' for#b/c given the shit others used to show me when i was a kid it would of been quite novel.#i dont even know how i found it??#i think i was just skimming the list on some website picking out shit i felt was even remotely interesting. but never watched it entirely--#--because less savvy internet users in my house meant the shared pc had to be wiped and have its OS reinstalled every so many months.#So i would routinely loose my internet bookmarks for where i was up to on stuff.#cat is doing okay now. All things considered given the circumstances. we just gotta hope the poor fuck doesn't get worse.#Even if i never got to shove the OG thing in peoples faces since it was a chance purchase since it was RIGHT THERE with other shit i wanted#I joked about one of the other things being a 'blorbo time' thing...but...somehow this didn't feel much different lmao.#the only distinction between the two things he knew nothing about was a fucking meme and the meme won.#eugh jokes aside it would of been a fun time anyway.#Still wont get over how dorky i think the guy looks in the new thing but hey!! At least it had a decent story and wasnt an anime that just-#--looked pretty which is more than i can say of a lot of newer adaptions/remixes/spin offs/ect i have seen of shit the past decade.#C: Turquoise Talks

it's so wild to me that you absolutely cannot force a hyperfixation to happen. like you'll watch the most perfectly tailor-made-for-you content that everyone says you'll love and feel absolutely nothing, and then the thing you watch on a whim to fill time will reach through the screen and put its damn fingers in your brain and start rearranging the neurons right in front of you and every single time you're like THIS??? THIS??????? and this happens like every 6-12 months forever

Sir Terry Pratchett is a master of the written word but he ain’t shit for the way he trained me to accept dumb naming conventions because i got three missed calls on my phone from Scam Likely and I spent like half a day wondering who I knew named Scam.

one time this japanese fujoshi i follow on twitter posted "the bottom should have a bigger dick so that you can watch it bounce while they get fucked and the top should have a smaller dick so that it can go in easier. uke dicks should be big and decorative and seme dicks should be average size and functional" and honestly her mind

to be honest there has never been a fictional character i’ve actually wanted to date. like. i want them to date each other. i don’t want myself as a person to be involved in this scenario whatsoever. what would i add to this narratively? what’s my thematic purpose in the narrative? immersion breaking.

Babygirl I know fandom history that you wouldn’t even care about
#ghhhhhhh#yeah.#C: Misc Text Post#this is just in a general fandom sense but...#there are certain fandoms i enjoy the content of that to this day i still have kneejerk avoidance reactions to#because shit was so rancid.#but its comforting that in this day and age one can find bubbles with people who can be normal about their shipping habits.#Like i feel i discouraged one of my cousins once who tried talking to me about a thing#and all i can remember was all the inbox hate i got for saying 'both parings are valid. the triad ship is valid. you guys need to get over-#--yourselves i think' and hhhhhhhoooooooo boy id not be surprised if there was a fandom weirdo callout post from idk 2012 or something#with one of my psudonyms on put because i just plain and simple didnt give enough of a fuck to pick one and pick one only.#because while i did not pipe up much#I was very straightforward when asked about it because i forgot like 95% of the fandom was Like That(tm) at the time.#Never revisited it when my cousin piped up because i was ALSO all 'wow this thing really went to the wolves huh.'#less in a off the rails way and more because a okay for what it was but feels off thing is v/ blatant about its true colours later thing.#to be fair i saw snippets under the water in passing#but that didn't prepare me for what my cousin started saying because he (they??) had heard from so and so that i watched some of it once.#but due to keeping smaller fandom scopes but reading sit sometimes about other fandoms when the info ends up in m orbit??#i have accidentally spoiled shit for people who had almost finished things because i had no idea it wasn't obvious yet asdfghjk#but...thats different kind of yeah.

Just get a flatpack they said It would be easier they said
I am ten minutes and one more 'what the fuck' from the next time i get paid throwing money at someone to draw a little fucking comic because i don't have the patience to (combined with how i have no idea if i am even going to be bale to do my needlecrafts tomorrow lmao) and it truly is the stuff for making a bonding experience from hell. Especially when the instructions are both not localised, the tiniest thumbnails known to man the size of a postage stamp or smaller, and the instruction manual was for something SIMILAR but kind of not the same but similar enough' they decided to send it out. I would write something funny, but it really isnt the same...
....also why the fuck did it need SO many screws for something so tiny when the kind of flatpack it was one could of EASILY gotten away with wooden pegs and goddamn interlocking sliding pieces. I guess that was my novelty activity for the quarter and i am not making another flatpack ever again if i can help it.
I'd rather suffer through the wait of having somebody else cut the pieces of the thing i want out and do shit from scratch because people who are all 'nahahh too much effort. too expensive' when a good 80% of the time with a bit of know how and ingenuity you can do way better for around the same price or a little more, assuming you like...don't need to buy findings i guess or whatnot for however the hell its gonna be assembled.
Like yeah its more work??? But if you have someone with you who even half knows what they are doing it feels like far less of an headache.

honestly i never thought the phrased “i want that twink obliterated” was like a sexual thing. like when i read the phrase i imagine “a meteor like the one that killed the dinosaurs is summoned from the heavens and hits the twink in question” type situation
