this entry in a ‘what would happen if the internet went down tomorrow’ contest has been making me laugh since 2009

Being an evil doppelganger has to be so fucked up like imagine meeting a better version of yourself. Some chain of events going differently that led to "you" being a better person in a way you can never achieve. Personally I'd have no other option but to try and kill them

I wish there was a better cultural shorthand for enjoying a work for it's badness while also making it clear that it comes from a place of deep love, and a recognition of the self in the other. Consider the relationship one has to the art they made in middle school.

It's often poorly constructed, embarrassingly revealing, poorly aged, etc. You don't want to denigrate it, because it's good and necessary that amateurish art exist. But also sometimes it sucks in ways that are funny and genuinely charming.

For example, I love the Backrooms Wiki. It is clearly a bunch of early teenagers doing their own spin on the SCP format. It is objectively not well written, fails to understand what made the original greentext interesting, etc, because it is made by literal children experimenting with flash fiction for the first time. So many of its entries are The Evil Smiler Who Fucking Gets You. Which rules. I want the backrooms wiki kids to keep writing forever. I remember being at that point in my writing career! I hope these kids continue to write!

But sometimes I mention the backrooms wiki and people say "why are you hating on these kids?" and I struggle to explain that I am not hating, I genuinely love it. Sometimes it feels like people don't believe me! I feel like people have grown so used to kiwifarms behavior that an offhand expression of love for amateurish art is interpreted as malicious hazing. That makes me sad! I wish there were better words for this sort of thing.

I just saw you say " I'll grow my single brain cell as big as possible in miku's name"

And

That literally gave me motivation.

Like I'd been in a slump, not even replying to my friends' messages

And this was such a bolt Outta the blue.

If I can't do it for myself, I can do it for someone who'd be proud of me, even if it's just miku.

Thank you.

You can do whatever you set your heart to anon, I have faith in you too!!

I have faith in everyone else reading this too!! Your local neighborhood Miku mod wishes you strength, power, and infinite brain cell growth ᕙ( •̀ ᗜ •́ )ᕗ

Saw someone say that the stats don't match the characters' personalities in BG3, and that they felt Astarion should have higher charisma than Wyll, and that take was SO absurdly wrong I had to sit back for a moment.

Yes, Astarion made a living out of lying to people. But he is not charismatic. This acting and lying does not come naturally to him. His facade falls apart the moment you poke at it even a little (he is soooo blatantly using Tav in the first act of the game, he's trying to be subtle but failing at it so so badly. He can't even lie about the boar he ate convincingly!)

Wyll, even though he might seem a little dorky at times, is genuinely a delight to be around. He's endearing! He makes people laugh!

There seems to be this misconception that charisma = being suave, and that because Wyll has a tendency to be a little goofy this must mean his charisma is low. This is not the case. Charisma = force of personality, and Wyll has an innately warm personality that draws people to him. Astarion is a greasy ferret of a man trying to weasel his way into peoples' good graces. This is why Wyll's charisma is higher.
