Very vague Dead Boys fic idea I had as I was falling asleep last night that I may or may not ever write: either pre- or post-canon; for some reason or another, the boys are requited to telepathically share their most powerful, treasured memories with each other. Maybe it’s a necessary component to a powerful spell they need to cast for a case, maybe they’re trapped and that’s the key to escape, whatever. If it’s post-canon, Edwin’s memory could be when Charles came to get him out of hell; if it’s pre-canon, it could be something like the first moment he remembers seeing the stars again after he got out of hell, or some other miscellaneous but very important memory involving his bonding with Charles. In either scenario, meanwhile, Charles’s memory would be the night he met Edwin—also known as the night of his death. And here is where I’m thinking it would be especially poignant post-canon; because Edwin has always gotten the sense that Charles is less content with ghosthood than him, that he misses more from his life, and that was confirmed in even harsher terms in Charles’s outburst on the cliff in Port Townsend. And while Edwin was aware that his presence had made Charles’s death somewhat more bearable/pleasant, he’d still been under the impression that it was a largely UNPLEASANT memory. He would be very shocked, then, to see that it is in fact Charles’s most powerful and treasured memory, and all the more shocked to see how warmly Charles recalls it.

just played a cool game jam game on Itch.io-- Cross Stitched, where you play Baba Yaga as you try and fight your way out of a tapestry, and collect and enhance powerups in your own tapestry as you do.

It's real simple-- game jam game and all-- but lots of fun, and insanely beautiful!

I can barely begin to express how much the course of my life has been altered because of a 40 minute highlight video done by @jelloapocalypse and friends riffing over a 20 year old sky pirate game.

I made an off-handed comment after watching it together with two of my longtime friends, about how much I wish I had what Vyrsa had, and one of those friends STRAIGHT-UP TELLS ME that her and her wife have been crushing on me for a while.

The feeling was mutual, though I'd been of course hesitant to even hint at it.

Anyway now a few months later, we're a thruple, and we decided to honor the genesis of our relationship by cosplaying as the trio that made it a reality for my 30th birthday!

PinkCatNinja, me (CatComixzStudios), and ArtieStokes as Aika, Vyce Vyrsa, and Fina respectively, from SKIES OF ARCADIA!

And as a bonus, a comment I left on the video before my egg would crack completely (was still IDing as genderfluid at the time)

No one has ever made me feel more ashamed of being an autistic who hyperfixates on cartoons than tumblr tankie jackasses like that autistic-ben-tennyson person. Like bro can you not. If you're an adult who's still seriously into SU discourse in 2025 then you are not mentally equipped to weigh in on anything regarding fucking real life geopolitics. That shit isn't even proper media analysis, it's just a bunch of losers bitching and moaning because oh no the children's show didn't live up to their deranged bloodthirsty tankie revolution fantasies.

realll. as a pro-dx autistic person i am embarrassed by almost every vocally autistic person on the internet, to the point that i don’t usually identify that way anymore, but the cartoon discourse tankies are the worstttt. it’s a weird discordant mix between childishness and bloodlust. like, please don’t associate me with them, i have normal politics, an hbo subscription*, and a job.

the funny thing is if they WANT tv shows with violence and complexity, there are plenty of those! but watching those would mean consuming anything other cartoons and that’s a bit above their level.

*it’s my dad’s subscription but whateverrr.

Hmm do you ever sit and think about Will Byers was made of for being sensitive and effiminate so when he was “killed” he was seen as a weak fairy for being a victim but when it turned out that he had lived they changed their tune and decided to refer to him a predatory monster who spreads disease, even though nothing about him had really changed? There is no version of him that is palatable for Hawkins.

I don't want to point at any specific posts because it would feel mean but it's sooo funny seeing multiple people be like "yesss it's so Meaningful how much emphasis monster hunter wilds places on your character needing permission to hunt monsters and only doing it when it's the last available option" when I have been losing it at how Afraid Of Me this game's writing is all weekend. like the whole story is dripping with "please don't get mad at us online and call our story colonial we prommy all of this is good actually" desperation... guys this is still a game about carving up hundreds of monsters to make yourself cooler gear. also the climax of the story is the hunter ignoring alma and going "on my authority as a hunter... I authorize myself to turn this bitch into gloves"

We don't talk enough about the Cali gang's traumatic experiences in s4...

I mean... first the whole Angela situation was traumatic (or at least brought back some bad memories) for all of them.

Then El getting arrested and leaving for the lab was the same way.

The shoot-out happens which... trauma galore.

Then they have to watch Agent Man die in front of them... AND they have to stay in the van with his body for probably a good while as they drove to the place to bury him.

They have the pressure of finding El weighing down on them the whole time and it can't feel good.

When they do find El they're shot at and also have to watch her get shot at and also kinda watch Brenner die.

El tells them their friends in Hawkins are in danger and need help right away. All the hope they had after finding El was stripped away in an instant. Now everyone they know and love is in danger.

They have to hear from El about Max, but they think they've saved everyone else. Again, this hope is ripped away in an instant when they pull up to their town to find it destroyed.

Just... Idk I feel like people overlook the Cali gang's awful situation.

As someone starting up their own Undertale AU, what’s the best way to like…get people to see it. Is there a method?

So...like...

The method that worked for me was making mini comics, people really like those! Slowly introduce people to the idea lol

I gained like 2000 followers here BEFORE starting the official comic just doing that :>

Uhm, my AU was easy to introduce because it's not THAT different from normal utdr content

So people saw my posts and and thought, OH! UNDERTALE CONTENT YAY! wait... what do you mean Papyrus is Gaster?

That's where they might catch interest and scroll through the blog

But I think that worked for me because of how similar my au is to regular undertale, people fell right into my trap lmao

probably been said before but i think we need another regeneration into david tennant for the bit -- but this time its the master

mike's problem solving skills

as much as we shit on mike for his obliviousness towards romance, its really interesting how good mike is at deciphering the upside down mystery and puzzle solving in general. typically, mike has the best judgement calls when it comes to getting shit done and general intuition. at the top of my head, i can recall several times where he was able to encounter a problem that the entire group was having and fix it instantly. some examples:

understanding that el was the key to finding will in the upside down, thus employing her help for all of s1

first to recognize that will would have died were they to close the gate with the mf still inside him + understanding how the mf worked and knew how to problem solve to overcome it (putting will to sleep so he couldn't spy, knowing that they needed a place that will didn't recognize)

came up with the entire sauna test plan, plus led billy towards the trap

found out that the number was hidden inside a dried up pen from the agent + knowing that they would have needed a hacker to get it done and using suzie's help to do it

a small one, but them overturning the car using the leverage from the linerope holders was mike's idea when they couldn't use el's powers ("told you. physics")

and so on...

i'd also like to point out the fact that in s4, the only times we get mike's POV is when he is being a leader (suzie's house, discovering the pen, etc). when it comes to the romance aspect, specifically his relationship w/ el, we get no clues from himself about how he actually feels about her (only from will and el's povs).

i'm not the most avid follower of nancy's storyline, but i'm pretty sure a lot of her judgement calls are also basically always correct (s1 w/ barb's disappearance, s2 in revealing barb's death, s3 rats, s4 w/ victor creel).

personally, besides the fact these two are smart as hell, i think that its a small way to show that the wheeler siblings were mainly taught to think with their head, and not their heart, which is why their arcs are both tied into ridding themselves of societal expectations and to go with their hearts instead. while nancy's is more tied to her independence and wants as a woman during the 80s, mike's is intrinsically tied to queerness and understanding what he wants, rather than what would make him normal.

Realistically speaking, in a Hunger Games Stranger Things au, Jonathan Byers would be Katniss Everdeen.
