I think one reason Persona 5 appeals to me so greatly is that it lets me believe in a a world where people in power actually face consequences for their misdeeds, and also that those consequences will come in the form of righteously furious teenagers given demonic super powers

oh thank god
#art from a while back#i played hk first and deepnest was like. the most uncomfortable ive ever been playing the game#mainly because its just so DARK#as for rw... when i got to shaded...... what the actual Hell#i eventually got used to just dying in the dark and exploring the first parts of the region but like. Why is it pitch black#i didnt even realize there was a path to the scav merchant at the first room..... i got to memory crypts before finding it in my next run#hollow knight#rain world#hk ghost#rw slugcat#rw survivor#artatat#?!?@?@?@?@ the alt text got removed for a sec Sorry about that im not sure why or how that happened#also im completely aware deepnest without a lantern is much darker but atleast it isnt pitch black. You know#i also wanna add on the fact i entered deepnest after the mantis lords and thought. “what kind of winning gift is this!?!?!?”#and felt like cornifer for the first couple of minutes LOL#but i had nowhere to go so womp womp :P#to clarify: i dont hate shaded its actually my top route to go from industrial to shoreline#but i hate deepnest with all my heart❤️ godbless#reading the rbs here is so fun.... so true guys#digital art

a few yrs ago i was mucking around with a danny phantom concept of a bug kingdom in the ghost zone, and a specific ghost mantis character in it. i was reminded of it recently and decided to give the design a facelift :p
#danny phantom#danny phantom oc#insect#bug#ghost mantis#the little fangies on the face are actually the palps folded up#one of the things abt this area is that anyone that enters the bounds does become a bug#like i was thinking up a hypothetical episode where danny gets in there and has bug adventures. fights a bug knight in gladiatorial combat#yknow. normal stuff#i was having danny as a cricket (no img) but i thought a treehopper would be cool bc i can emulate his hair w them#nd their crazy protrusions

maybe its just me but tfone elita-1 kinda reminds me of a mantis. it hit me bcs of her wider helm that looks like a mantis head, wider at the top-middle and then goes into a narrow point at the bottom. and her little already bug looking antennas???
long limbs and thin build (at least in tfone bcs of how the bots are stylized for animation), small but packs a punch, feminine and dangerous. if youre not convinced look at the comparison between an orchid mantis and elita.

beastformers elita would be a mantis i think i must zap her with my bug beam
#the kinda thoughts that spawn when youre bored out of your mind writing finals papers (help me)#i will make bugformers real i must#also consider the shipping possibilities with her being a mantis (predator insect) and airachnid being a spider (also pred insect)#...JUICY!#transformers#elita#tf one#rambling#transformers one#maccadams

I think the funniest thing about shipping mantis x loki in rivals is their ironic similarities that people wouldn’t have thought to compare before.
loki is the god of mischief/lies. mantis can read his mind or feelings to find the truth.
they’re both green, Mantis has antennas, Loki’s helmet has horns.
Mantis’s abilities in rivals revolves around nature/life, and y’all know about Loki’s connection with “trees”….
and also they both have dumb (usually blonde) brothers, which, also fits my comparison because iirc Loki and thor aren’t siblings in norse mythology and are uncle/nephew instead? which makes them only brothers in the mcu, mantis and peter are only siblings in the mcu, too.
#marvel rivals#my thoughts#marvel#marvel mcu#mcu#shipping#rarepair#lokimantis#loki laufeyson#loki#mantis#mantis gotg#thor odinson#peter quill#guardians of the galaxy#idk what else to tag#correct me if i'm wrong#frostbug#lotis#mischiefbug#loki x mantis#I haven’t seen their comics

Ok so I talked about this in tags of a post earlier but I need to talk about it properly
So a couple weeks ago I finally pulled the trigger, I dual booted Linux Mint on my laptop
It has less of my vital files on it then my pc, but I use it more for videos and general Internet stuff, so I would know if I liked it
Installing was scary but after a bit of trouble shooting with disabling bit locker it was easy, and let me be clear, that's a windows thing, because Microsoft really really doesn't want you to have freedom over your machine.
So I booted in
And like
I literally love it so much
I knew people talked about how much better Linux is and how it speeds up literally anything it's put on over windows, but like WOW
It doesn't take 2 minutes to boot up or shut down, my CPU doesn't idle at 25% for no reason, the search for files feature doesn't take 40 minutes only to show me Internet results instead of files, its wonderful.
The default theme is (in my opinion) pretty ugly, sorry whoever made it, it's just not for me.
But that's the great thing, you can literally customize this almost however you would like.
Maybe you shouldn't trust my opinion on what looks nice because I instantly installed a theme that replicated Windows 7
But I got bored of the default colors so I literally found the files where the home bar is saved and changed them to be more "minty"
That along with some CSS color editing gave me this:
You just can't do anything like this in Windows 10/11. You can change the color on windows but if I wanted, in Mint, I could completely change everything, centered icons on the taskbar, icons left justified on the taskbar, no taskbar, make it look like windows 95, it's all yours to do with whatever you want.
There are issues, I won't lie, the biggest one that will probably haunt Linux forever is compatibility.
Simply put most developers don't make native Linux versions of their software, you are lucky if there is a Mac version.
Lots and lots of Windows software CAN work on Linux through compatibility layers like Wine and Steam's Proton, but it's not 100%
My biggest problem is FL Studio and Clip Studio, neither of these I could get working with Wine or Proton so far. I'm hoping in the future I will find a way to make this work, or transition to their free and open source alternatives, but for now I'm stuck with a win 10 pc.
The other issue I've faced is that Linux seems to have a hard time recognizing and remembering my wired headphones. Like sometimes it just works, but most of the time it fails to do so.
My solution to this until I have time to troubleshoot more is to use my stupid headphone jack to USB C dongle that I bought for my stupid phone with no headphone jack.
Luckily it works fine and the type C port on my laptop literally doesn't get used otherwise.
All in all, I'm like excited to use a computer again. I used to only be excited for the programs it allowed me to use, but for the first time in a long time, the "magic" of the PC has returned for me.
Once I save up the money, my next PC will be Linux, Windows doesn't cut it anymore for me.
Ok now I'm going to kinda just talk about Linux for a bit, unrelated to my experience because my brain has been buzzing about this topic lately.
I get why guys who run Linux are so annoying about it now, because it's me now, I love this stupid OS and everyone has to hear about it.
And chances are, you've used Linux before already!
Linux is used in a ridiculous number of places because of its open source nature.
Most servers and other cloud computing systems are running Linux, many public terminals and screens run Linux, every supercomputer in the world runs Linux, if you were in the education system for the past 13~ years you might have used ChromeOS, which is built on Linux, if you have ever used an Android device you have used Linux.
It's never going to take over Windows as the go to operating system in the home, most people don't even know they could switch, and if they don't know that there's no way they are willing to put up with some of the headaches Linux brings.
Although I've spent way more time troubleshooting Windows issues then I have Linux ones so far, so maybe Microsoft stuffing so much bloated spyware into their system is starting to cause windows to rip at the seams, idk.
When I try to explain Linux to people who literally don't understand any of this I use a car metaphor
Windows is like a hatchback SUV, you buy it from a dealer and it mostly works for everyone good enough that they don't complain.
Linux is like a project vehicle in a lot of ways, the mechanic can tune it up exactly to the specifications they want, tear a bit out and put a diffrent one in, it requires some work under the engine but once that mechanic gets it the way they want it, it's incredible.
It's not a perfect metaphor but I think it gets the idea across.
Uh IDK how to finish this post, please try Linux if you can, changed my life.

Welcome to skins for marvel rivals that would make me empty my wallet
(With mostly starlord and Adam because I main them… oops)
First and foremost: cowboy skin set please please netease look at what you could do



It’d be so cool… and since we already have the rocket skin and the mrs.barnes skin I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if they released these
Next, skins inspired in the designs of the gotg game, especially Mantis because her design is just gorgeous and I feel like it’s pretty different to her usual design with the pink skin and all

Now, this is completely self-indulgent but it would be so cool to have any of these designs of Adam as a skin for him, either his design for Adam rebirth or the 2008 gotg one


Bonus points if they give him makeup in the 2008 one
Last but not least, annihilation starlord… or grounded starlord would also be cool


Any of these would be super cool
Honestly this is just my way of coping until they release new skins for my mains please forgive me 😔
#marvel rivals#adam warlock#peter quill#star lord#mantis#spiderman#moon knight#actually I’m too broke to be asking for any of this#on another thought. actually don’t release these netease#Peter Parker#marc spector#Steven grant#jake lockley

you just knoww jay and kira wrote fanfic in navy school. like they'd be at the back of a history class teaching them a false narrative, and they'd be scribbling away and the teacher would think they're taking such detailed notes but really they're writing the filthiest rpf smut about a captain and his first mate who gave a talk at their school one time

limbus company is like <hi my name is dante, and here are my 12 very normal i promise pets: a very quiet mink, a quiet ferret, a cat/dog who would kill for those she loves, a venomous snake, the world's most obedient tortoise, hong lu, a wolfdog who loves his wife, an otter who loves her wife, a cheetah, the cheetah's weird bird child, an ex-vet dog with ptsd, and a cockroach also with ptsd>
#evora original#limbus stuff#limbus company#ALSO to clarify this isnt me being like “hong lu is an animal” its just cause i think its really funny to have one of them not be an animal#and i couldnt think of one for hong lu.#roommate thought yi sang should be a crow but no. hes a mink wtf are you on.#update: hong lu is an orchid mantis. thats his government assigned fursona. /silly

It's the 6 month anniversary of this blog! Check out these cool bugs I found.
(EDIT: Check out this amazing fanart by thecornermushroom!)
Part 2 - Part 3
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#hollow knight#mdzs au#mdzs hollow knight AU#way too many characters to tag#'OP why?' Listen... It was either this or a Homestuck crossover. Which is still on the table btw. I've put thought into it.#Speaking of putting thought into things...I have put two full asses of effort into this. So I'm gonna talk about it in the tags.#I mapped all the major sects to hallownest clans and drew *way* more than just the characters shown here#More pertinently not shown are the Nies - Who are beetles!#The mantis clan has a lot of crossover with the Nies given the lore but I Love Mantis Wangji and you cant take him away from me.#wwx was a moth solely for his ties to Baoshen sanren (nearly forgotten sect & nearly forgotten clan)#but (HOLLOW KNIGHT SPOILERS) the ties to her radiance and the infection made for some very fun parallels#YLLZ moth 100% is puppeting husks around#JGS is a pale king expy becuase...you know....lots of children...#it also gives me a great excuse to explain wwx's soul taking mxy's body.#Still have lots and lots to say but I'm already running late! More funny - less specific to a very small population - comics to morrow!#This was more or less a style study and I learned a lot!#Thank you all for an awesome 6 months B*) You guys have pushed my way more out of my shell (pun intented) than I would-#-have ever gone had I just hidden away like I usually do. Thanks for all the support even with silly things like this <3

what if the terrible mirror version of you (Tamar) is better and cooler than you (Ever) in every way
#shadowrun#shadowrun: exuviae#art shenanigans#Tamar Ohanyan#Ever Newman#Jing Hairen#hogufsdhf the depression must've gotten to me to forget about these... the supposed current state of this site isn't helping =_=#anyway apparently some of you need to be told Ever is Actually Lame (not fun) so she's gonna mercilessly bully him even more#even her host body had the advantage of being a local runner vs Ever just being some tourist with no genre awareness#wait I forgot to add any name.... her streetname at least would've been Nhang because it only gets more ironic with Tamar#it was also a joke thought that she could turn into a tiny normal mantis but I bet she could still tell a real one to go sit with Jing#and be threatening to anyone approaching them >:[
